Article Abstract
Aberrant expansion of KRT5 basal cells in the distal lung accompanies progressive alveolar epithelial cell loss and tissue remodelling during fibrogenesis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The mechanisms determining activity of KRT5 cells in IPF have not been delineated. Here, we reveal a potential mechanism by which KRT5 cells migrate within the fibrotic lung, navigating regional differences in collagen topography. In vitro, KRT5 cell migratory characteristics and expression of remodelling genes are modulated by extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and organisation. Mass spectrometry- based proteomics revealed compositional differences in ECM components secreted by primary human lung fibroblasts (HLF) from IPF patients compared to controls. Over-expression of ECM glycoprotein, Secreted Protein Acidic and Cysteine Rich (SPARC) in the IPF HLF matrix restricts KRT5 cell migration in vitro. Together, our findings demonstrate how changes to the ECM in IPF directly influence KRT5 cell behaviour and function contributing to remodelling events in the fibrotic niche.

Tolerogenic Lung Allograft Microenvironment Suppresses Pathogenic Tissue Remodeling Following Respiratory Virus Infection in Mice.

Tolerance after lung transplantation is associated with the induction of Foxp3 regulatory T cell-enriched bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue, which suppresses local and systemic alloimmune responses. How this tolerogenic graft environment shapes responses to respiratory viral infections, a known contributor to adverse outcomes after lung transplantation, remains unknown. Using a mouse model of a seasonally circulating parainfluenza virus, we found that acute infection of tolerant lung allografts results in temporary reductions of both bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue size and abundance of graft-resident Foxp3 cells, but doesn't trigger rejection.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most prevalent and deadliest cancers worldwide, accounting for a significant global health burden. Targeted therapies such as osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR inhibitor, have transformed the treatment landscape for EGFR-mutant NSCLC by offering improved progression-free survival. However, the inevitable development of resistance remains a formidable challenge, necessitating deeper insights into its molecular underpinnings.

Background: Early childhood wheeze is a major risk factor for asthma. However, not all children who wheeze will develop the disease. The airway epithelium has been shown to be involved in asthma pathogenesis.

Objective: To identify the key genes involved in the development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa) and those associated with the prognosis of the malignancy.
Methods: We obtained the single-cell sequencing data on 4 cases of PCa from the GSE156632 database. Using R language and the Seurat package, we performed cell clustering and annotation, selected the subpopulations of epithelial cells for differential analysis after quality control and cell type identification, and conducted enrichment analysis of the identified differential genes using the Hiplot website.

Cutaneous melanoma is one of the aggressive forms of skin cancer originating from melanocytes. The high incidence of melanoma metastasis continues to rise, partly due to the complex nature of the molecular mechanisms driving its progression. While melanomas generally arise from melanocytes, we investigated whether aberrant keratinocyte differentiation pathways-like cornified envelope formation-discriminate primary melanoma from metastatic melanoma, revealing novel biomarkers in progression.
