This study aims to comprehensively elucidate the role of IFN-γ in ABMR after renal transplantation. In six renal transplantation cohorts, the IFN-γ responses (IFNGR) biological process was consistently top up-regulated in ABMR compared to stable renal function or even T cell-mediated rejection in both allografts and peripheral blood. According to single-cell analysis, IFNGR levels were found to be broadly elevated in most cell types in allografts and peripheral blood with ABMR. In allografts with ABMR, M1 macrophages had the highest IFNGR levels and were heavily infiltrated, while kidney resident M2 macrophages were nearly absent. In peripheral blood, CD14+ monocytes had the top IFNGR level and were significantly increased in ABMR. Immunofluorescence assay showed that levels of IFN-γ and M1 macrophages were sharply elevated in allografts with ABMR than non-rejection. Importantly, the IFNGR level in allografts was identified as a strong risk factor for long-term renal graft survival. Together, this study systematically analyzed multi-omics from thirteen independent cohorts and identified IFN-γ and IFNGR as determinants of ABMR and clinical outcomes in patients after renal transplantation.","PeriodicalId":12691,"journal":{"name":"Genes and immunity","volume":"25 1","pages":"66-81"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139511808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Expression data and survival data associated with HCC were obtained in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) analysis was performed to obtain CAF-related genes. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used for regression analysis and risk models. Subsequently, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) analysis, Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) analysis and drug sensitivity analysis were performed on the risk models. Survival analysis of CAF scores showed that the survival rate was lower in samples with high CAF scores than those with low scores. However, this difference was not significant, suggesting CAF may not directly influence the prognosis of HCC patients. Further screening of CAF-related genes yielded 33 CAF-related genes. Seven risk models constructed based on CDR2L, SPRED1, PFKP, ENG, KLF2, FSCN1 and VCAN, showed significant differences in immunotherapy and partial drug sensitivity in HCC. Seven CAF-related genes may have important roles in immunotherapy, drug sensitivity and prognostic survival in HCC patients.","PeriodicalId":12691,"journal":{"name":"Genes and immunity","volume":"25 1","pages":"55-65"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41435-024-00252-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139484880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
