Phospholipase D3 (PLD3) has emerged as an important 5'-exonuclease in charge of removing single-stranded DNA in lysosomes. Rare genetic variants of the gene encoding PLD3 have been implicated in late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ishii et al.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive disease for which there is no effective cure. We aimed to identify potential drug targets for CKD and kidney function by integrating plasma proteome and transcriptome.
Methods: We designed a comprehensive analysis pipeline involving two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) (for proteins), summary-based MR (SMR) (for mRNA), and colocalization (for coding genes) to identify potential multi-omics biomarkers for CKD and combined the protein-protein interaction, Gene Ontology (GO), and single-cell annotation to explore the potential biological roles.

Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) is essential for recognition of RNA viruses and initiation of antiviral immunity. TLR7 contains two ligand-binding pockets that recognize different RNA degradation products: pocket 1 recognizes guanosine, while pocket 2 coordinates pyrimidine-rich RNA fragments. We found that the endonuclease RNase T2, along with 5' exonucleases PLD3 and PLD4, collaboratively generate the ligands for TLR7.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) tumors are rich in tumor-associated microglia/macrophages. Changes associated with treatment in this specific cell population are poorly understood. Therefore, we studied changes in gene expression of tumor-associated microglia/macrophages (Iba1+) cells in de novo versus recurrent GBMs.

Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of both clinically and genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders. SCA 46 is a rare autosomal dominant ataxia initially described in a Dutch family, clinically characterized by ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar dysarthria, and varied oculomotor abnormalities. SCA 46 has recently been discovered to be associated with a mutation in phospholipase D 3 gene.
