RAB20 deficiency promotes the development of silicosis via NLRP3 inflammasome
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Silicosis is a worldwide serious occupational disease that is caused by inhalation of silica crystals. However, little is known about the pathogenesis mechanism of silicosis. We performed single-cell sequencing in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from

Functional variant of the carboxypeptidase M (CPM) gene may affect silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility by its expression: a multistage case-control study. [PDF]
, 2019 ObjectivesIn a genome-wide association study, we discovered chromosome 12q15 (defined as rs73329476) as a silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility region. However, the causal variants in this region have not yet been reported.MethodsWe systematically

Advanced Science, EarlyView.During sepsis, pulmonary vascular endothelial cells secrete chemokine CCL7, which plays a pivotal role in facilitating the infiltration of C‐C motif chemokine receptor 1‐positive (CCR1+) macrophages into lung tissue. Activation of the CCL7–CCR1 axis enhances the succinylation of STAT1 mediated by KAT2A, thereby driving metabolic reprogramming and ...
