Immune Cell Infiltration and Novel Biomarkers of CAD

Introduction Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide,1 and has been proved to be triggered by the interaction of environmental and genetic risk factors. It is considered to be a systemic, progressive inflammatory disease. The atherosclerotic plaque formed in CAD accumulates chronically in the…

GPX4 is a key ferroptosis biomarker and correlated with immune cell populations and immune checkpoints in childhood sepsis

Identification of DE-FRGs in sepsis After the debatch normalization treatment of GSE26378 and GSE26440 (Fig. 2A, Supplementary Figure 1), the differential expression analysis was performed, including 20,021 significantly differentially expressed genes, including 12,758 upregulated genes and 7,263 downregulated genes. log2FC ≥ 1, adjusted P < 0.05 (Fig. 2B). To explore differentially expressed FRG in sepsis, we extracted…

CRISPR/Cas9-based screening identifies potential therapies for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by an excessive accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes in non-alcoholic individuals. NAFLD progressively changes from fatty liver to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, fibrosis, and, in some cases, hepatocellular carcinoma. Since NAFLD significantly affects morbidity, healthcare services, and quality of life, it is imperative…

Immune cell dynamics deconvoluted by single-cell RNA sequencing in normothermic machine perfusion of the liver

Study cohort and performance during NMP An overview of the overall study population is presented in Table 1 (individual data are given in Supplementary Table 1). Detailed information on study livers and analysis is provided as workflow scheme in Fig. 1. The decision to apply NMP was based on one or a combination…

A Trem2R47H mouse model without cryptic splicing drives age- and disease-dependent tissue damage and synaptic loss in response to plaques | Molecular Neurodegeneration

The Trem2 R47H NSS mutation promotes loss of oligodendrocyte gene expression in response to cuprizone treatment. Results of previous studies of mice with the Trem2R47H missense mutation introduced via CRISPR suggested that it acts as a near-complete loss of function, recapitulating phenotypes seen in Trem2 knock-out (KO) mice [34, 36]….

Discovering novel clues of natural selection on four worldwide goat breeds

Environmental factors are one of the forces influencing agricultural and the livestock sectors. Animals exposed to stressful environments exhibit various adaptive mechanisms, such as behavioural, physiological, endocrine, cellular, metabolic and biochemical for minimising the stressful conditions. Thus, adaptation is the natural strategy to ensure both welfare and efficiency. The action…

Transcriptional profiling of macrophages reveals distinct parasite stage-driven signatures during early infection by Leishmania donovani

Infection with L. donovani amastigotes or promastigotes promotes early changes in the mRNA pool of the host cell To compare the early effects of the two life stages L. donovani in the mature mRNA pool of the host cell, total cytosolic mRNA extracts from bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) cultures infected…
