To study the function of the Krüppel-like transcription factor KLF13 in vivo, we generated mice with a disrupted Klf13 allele. Although Klf13(-/-) mice are viable, fewer mice were present at 3 weeks than predicted by Mendelian inheritance. Viable Klf13(-/-) mice had reduced numbers of circulating erythrocytes and a larger spleen. The spleen contained an increased number of Ter119(med)CD71(hi), Ter119(hi)CD71(hi), and Ter119(hi)CD71(med) cells but not Ter119(hi)CD71(-) cells, indicating an increase in less mature erythroblasts. A higher proportion of the Ter119(med)CD71(hi) cells were proliferating, indicating that the mice were under a degree of erythropoietic stress. These data indicate that KLF13 is involved in the normal control of erythropoiesis.

Ginseng may improve the myelosuppression and intestinal microbiota disorder induced by cyclophosphamide (CY); however, the effect of ginseng components on hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) damage remains largely unexplored. The present study aimed to assess the protective effect of ginseng extract (GE), total ginsenosides (TG) and total polysaccharides (TP) from ginseng on the intestinal microflora and HSCs of model mice. In the present study, a mouse model of HSC damage induced by CY was constructed, intestinal microflora of fecal samples were sequenced using the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing techniques, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of HSCs were analyzed using high‑throughput RNA‑sequencing, cell apoptosis and erythroid differentiation were detected using flow cytometry and the blood cell parameters were analyzed using a hematology analyzer.

Although significant progress has been achieved in elucidating the genetic architecture of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), identifying genes underlying the pathogenesis has been challenging. The NZM2410-derived lupus susceptibility Sle3 locus is associated with T cell hyperactivity and activated myeloid cells. However, candidate genes associated with these phenotypes have not been identified.

The present study utilized large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary data (731 immune cell subtypes and three primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) GWAS datasets), meta-analysis, and two PSC transcriptome data to elucidate the pivotal role of Tregs proportion imbalance in the occurrence of PSC. Then, we employed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), differential analysis, and 107 combinations of 12 machine-learning algorithms to construct and validate an artificial intelligence-derived diagnostic model (Tregs classifier) according to the average area under curve (AUC) (0.959) in two cohorts.

The Krüppel-like factor (KLF) family represents a group of transcription factors (TFs) performing different biological processes that are crucial for proper neuronal function, including neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal survival. As reported, genetic variants within the KLF family have been associated with a wide spectrum of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric symptoms. In a patient exhibiting attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) combined with both neurodevelopmental and psychiatric symptoms, whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis revealed a de novo heterozygous variant within the Krüppel-like factor 13 () gene, which belongs to the KLF family and regulates axonal growth, development, and regeneration in mice.

Background: Muscle atrophy can cause muscle dysfunction and weakness. Krüppel-like factor 13 (KLF13), a central regulator of cellular energy metabolism, is highly expressed in skeletal muscles and implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases. This study investigated the role of KLF13 in muscle atrophy, which could be a novel therapeutic target.
