Syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs) constitute one of the core components of the placenta, responsible for synthesizing pregnancy-sustaining hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). Deficient syncytialization of cytotrophoblasts affects the hormonal secretion and placental development, contributing to pregnancy-associated disorders, including spontaneous miscarriage. To date, the molecular mechanisms, particularly the role of transcription factors (TFs), in STB lineage specification remain incompletely understood.

Mucosal mast cells (MMCs) are distinguished from connective tissue mast cells (MCs) by the specific cell-surface expression of integrin CD103 (also known as integrin αE/β7; αE is encoded by Itgae) and mast cell protease 1 and 2 (Mcpt1 and Mcpt2, respectively). Although the expression of the Mcpt1 and Mcpt2 genes is cooperatively regulated by the transcription factor GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling in MMCs, the transcriptional mechanism of the cell-surface expression of CD103 remains unknown. We herein found that surface CD103 and Itgae mRNA levels were significantly increased by the knockdown (KD) of Gata2 in mouse bone marrow-derived MCs (BMMCs), which was accelerated by TGF-β stimulation.

Although dysregulated molecular pathways in AMKL have been identified, their role in early pre-leukemic transformation remains poorly understood. We developed a disease model utilizing genetically modified human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) physiologically and conditionally expressing CG.

Purpose: This study explores lactylation's pivotal role in the disease progression of heart failure (HF).
Methods: The GSE57345 dataset, encompassing 177 HF samples and 136 normal controls (CTL), was sourced from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed genes between HF and CTL groups underwent enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways.

Rationale: Mutations in the guanine-adenine-thymine-adenine 2 (GATA2) gene can lead to immunodeficiency and haematological diseases, including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been reported to impair immune function, but its effects on GATA2 mutation carriers remain unclear. This study reports a rare case of persistent immunodeficiency in a child with AML and GATA2 mutation after SARS-CoV-2 infection, emphasizing the role of viral infection in immune dysfunction in such patients.
