Single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-nucleus mRNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) indicated that <i>Zbp1</i> mRNA in endothelial cells, fibroblasts and macrophages appeared to be elevated by LPS, which is partially consistent with the results of immunofluorescence. Through echocardiography, we identified that global deletion of ZBP1 improves cardiac dysfunction and the survival rate of LPS-treated mice. Mechanistically, snRNA-seq showed that ZBP1 is mainly expressed in macrophages and deletion of ZBP1 promotes the macrophage polarisation towards M2-subtype, which reduces inflammatory cell infiltration. Notably, myeloid-specific deficiency of ZBP1 also promotes M2 macrophage polarisation and improves cardiac dysfunction, validating the role of macrophage-derived ZBP1 in septic myocardial dysfunction. Finally, we revealed that LPS increases the transcription and expression of ZBP1 through signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1). Fludarabine, the inhibitor of STAT1, could also promote M2 macrophage polarisation and improve cardiac dysfunction of LPS-treated mice.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Our study provides evidence of a novel STAT1-ZBP1 axis in macrophage promoting septic cardiomyopathy, and underscores the potential of macrophage-derived ZBP1 as a therapeutic target for septic cardiomyopathy.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Key points</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 <ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Macrophage-derivedZBP1 exacerbates LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction and inflammatory cellinfiltration.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Deletionof ZBP1 promotes macrophage polarisation from M1 to M2.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>STAT1-ZBP1axis promotes septic cardiomyopathy.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>ZBP1has emerged as a potential therapeutic target for inflammationand septic cardiomyopathy.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10189,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Translational Medicine","volume":"15 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ctm2.70315","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The biological characteristics of 90-day survivors compared to non-survivors (Table S1) indicated that non-survivors were more likely to exhibit the presence of SARS-CoV-2 N antigen, along with higher viral RNA load in plasma, higher tissue damage (RNase P RNA), lower lymphocyte counts, and higher neutrophils levels. Additionally, non-survivors exhibited increased concentrations of multiple biomarkers involved in endothelial dysfunction (angiopoietin 2, endothelin-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1), inflammation (TNF-α, IL-15 and IL-6), coagulation (D-dimmer), chemotaxis (CXCL10, CCL2, and IL-8), immunosuppression (IL-10, PD-L1, and IL1-RA), T-cell biology (CD27), apoptosis (Fas) and innate immune-related proteins (EGF and SP-D).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Based on these biological characteristics, XGBoost algorithm was employed to develop a model for predicting 90-day mortality (AUROC of 0.80) (Supplementary Figure 1) and SHAP values were obtained to evaluate the influence of each biological feature on the outcome variable (Figure 1).

We found that SETD2 protein deficiency, mirrored by H3K36me3 deficiency, is a nearly universal event in advanced-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Similarly, K562 and KCL22 cell lines exhibited markedly reduced or undetectable SETD2/H3K36me3 levels, respectively. This resulted from altered SETD2 protein turnover rather than mutations or transcriptional downregulation, and proteasome inhibition led to the accumulation of hyper-ubiquitinated SETD2 and to H3K36me3 rescue suggesting that a functional SETD2 protein is produced but abnormally degraded. We demonstrated that phosphorylation by Aurora-A kinase and ubiquitination by MDM2 plays a key role in the proteasome-mediated degradation of SETD2. Moreover, we found that SETD2 and H3K36me3 loss impinges on the activation and proficiency of homologous recombination and mismatch repair. Finally, we showed that proteasome and Aurora-A kinase inhibitors, acting via SETD2/H3K36me3 rescue, are effective in inducing apoptosis and reducing clonogenic growth in cell lines and primary cells from advanced-phase patients. Taken together, our results point to SETD2/H3K36me3 deficiency as a mechanism, already identified by our group in systemic mastocytosis, that is reversible, druggable, and BCR::ABL1-independent, able to cooperate with BCR::ABL1 in driving genetic instability in CML.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Key Points</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 <ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Virtually all CML patients in blast crisis display SETD2 loss of function.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>SETD2 loss seems to be accomplished at the posttranslational level rather than being the result of genetic/genomic hits or transcriptional repression.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Phosphorylation by Aurora kinase A and ubiquitination by MDM2 contribute to SETD2 proteasome-mediated degradation in blast crisis CML patients.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Loss of SETD2 results in increased DNA damage.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10189,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Translational Medicine","volume":"15 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ctm2.70163","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143871540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately 80% of patients with MN are diagnosed as primary, which is associated with M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R). The remaining cases are considered secondary MN, whose underlying causes including infections, tumors, autoimmune diseases, or the usage of certain medications.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; The pathophysiological mechanisms of MN are intricate and continue to be investigated. We utilised machine learning and experimental validation to analyse glomeruli and renal tubules transcriptomic data to identify key genes associated with MN, focusing on their expressions and underlying mechanisms in MN.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A preliminary screening of target genes was conducted using transcriptome data from glomeruli and renal tubules (Figure 1A), retrieved from the GEO database (Table S1). The datasets for glomeruli (GSE108109, GSE180393, GSE200828) and renal tubules (GSE108112, GSE180394, GSE200818) were merged and adjusted using the sva package. Differential analysis (|log&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;FC| &gt; 1, &lt;i&gt;P &lt;/i&gt;&lt; 0.05) identified 416 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in glomeruli and 81 DEGs in renal tubules, with 37 intersecting DEGs obtained from both datasets (Figure 1B,C). Enrichment analyses [Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG), and Metascape] revealed that intersecting DEGs are involved in gas transport, cytochrome P450, and drug metabolism (Figure 1D–F), with cytochrome P450 playing a critical role in the metabolism of various medications.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Understanding the expression changes of these genes may provide insights into the drug-processing capabilities of kidneys.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We employed random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) to improve the prediction accuracy, thereby identifying key genes in MN (Figure 2A, Figure S1). By employing root mean square error analysis, the 10 most significant genes were determined (Figure 2B, C), leading to the identification of AASS, CYP3A5, IP6K3, and PDK4 in glomeruli data (Figure 2D), while AASS and MT1A were highlighted in renal tubular analysis (Figure 2E). Differential analysis indicates low expression of all these genes in MN patients (Figure 2F,G). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis (Figure 2H–M) revealed that AASS had the highest Area under the curve (AUC) values in both glomeruli and renal tubules. AASS encodes a bifunctional enzyme involved in the early steps of lysine degradation,&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3, 4&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and AASS low expression in diabetic nephropathy was found to correlate positively with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and negatively with serum creatinine, emphasising its significance in renal disease.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then, we explored the expression of AASS in renal tissue and its correlation with clinical indicators (Figure 3A).
