Unveiling combinatorial regulation through the combination of ChIP information and in silico cis-regulatory module detection [PDF]

, 2012
Computationally retrieving biologically relevant cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) is not straightforward. Because of the large number of candidates and the imperfection of the screening methods, many spurious CRMs are detected that are as high scoring as ...

Generation of CCR4/CD7 Bispecific CAR‐T Cells Resistant to Fratricide and Exhaustion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The applications of CAR T‐cell therapy in T‐cell malignancies face limitations such as fratricide, effector‐cell exhaustion, and antigen‐escape. Herein, we developed fratricide‐ and exhaustion‐resistant CAR‐T cells that targeted CCR4 and CD7 simultaneously, with optional EGFRt safety switch. Additionally, scRNA‐seq unveiled new molecular targets, which

STAT1 promotes ferroptosis and inflammation in mouse hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury

Communications Biology
Hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a critical complication in liver surgery and transplantation, driven by excessive inflammation and hepatocellular death. Although ferroptosis is recognized as a major form of regulated cell death in HIRI, the

Cigarette Smoke Suppresses Type I Interferon-Mediated Antiviral Immunity in Lung Fibroblast and Epithelial Cells [PDF]

, 2008
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of cigarette smoke on innate antiviral defense mechanisms; specifically, we examined the effects of cigarette smoke on the induction of type I interferon (IFN).

Lentiviral Knockdown of Transcription Factor STAT1 in Peromyscus leucopus to Assess Its Role in the Restriction of Tick-borne Flaviviruses [PDF]

BIO-PROTOCOL, 2017
Cellular infection with tick-borne flaviviruses (TBFVs) results in activation of the interferon (IFN) signaling pathway and subsequent upregulation of numerous genes termed IFN stimulated genes (ISGs) ( Schoggins et al., 2011 ). Many ISGs function to prevent virus pathogenesis by acting in a broad or specific manner through protein-protein interactions

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Identification of zinc finger protein Bcl6 as a novel regulator of early adipose commitment [PDF]

Open Biology, 2016
Adipose tissue is a key determinant of whole-body metabolism and energy homeostasis. Unravelling the transcriptional regulatory process during adipogenesis is therefore highly relevant from a biomedical perspective.

Deconvolution of pro- and antiviral genomic responses in Zika virus-infected and bystander macrophages. [PDF]

, 2018
Genome-wide investigations of host-pathogen interactions are often limited by analyses of mixed populations of infected and uninfected cells, which lower sensitivity and accuracy.

EEPD1 Inhibition Unleashes Antitumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer by Activating the cGAS‐STING Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In colorectal cancer, high expression of the DNA repair protein EEPD1 correlates with immune exclusion and poor prognosis. This study demonstrates that EEPD1 depletion induces genomic instability, leading to cytosolic DNA accumulation and subsequent activation of the cGAS‐STING‐type I interferon pathway. This cascade remodels the tumor microenvironment

HIV-1 gp120 influences the expression of microRNAs in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells via STAT3 activation [PDF]

, 2015
Background: MicroRNAs (miRs) are an abundant class of small non-coding RNAs (~22 nt) that reprogram gene ex- pression by targeting mRNA degradation and translational disruption.
