Pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) activation is a major cause of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, yet the mechanisms by which PSCs switch from quiescent to activated state are poorly studied. In this study, we identified JUN, a key transcription factor that maintains the quiescent state of PSCs, by integrating single-cell sequencing data from multiple pancreatic tissues and using WGCNA and SCENIC algorithms, and demonstrated that the expression and activity of JUN is a major regulator of the quiescent state of PSCs through cellular experiments and multiple pancreatic-related disease bulk RNAseq data. This study explores the main mechanism of PSC activation and provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of multiple pancreatic injury-related diseases caused by PSCs.

Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) infection is associated with lung injury; however, no specific treatment is currently available. In this study, we found a significant negative correlation between FcRn levels and the severity of HSV-1-induced lung injury. HSV-1 infection increases the methylation of the FcRn promoter, which suppresses FcRn expression by upregulating DNMT3b expression.

Tandem duplications (TDs) in exons of upstream binding transcription factor (UBTF-TD) are a rare recurrent alteration in pediatric and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/neoplasm. Although recently identified, AML with UBTF-TD is now considered a distinct subtype of AML. To further our understanding of myeloid neoplasms with UBTF-TD, we analyzed clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic characteristics of 27 pediatric patients with UBTF-TD-positive myeloid neoplasm, including 21 diagnosed as AML and 6 as MDS.

In apple (Malus domestica), the abscisic acid (ABA)-responsive factor ABA INSENSITIVE5 directly activates MORE AXILLARY GROWTH2 (MdMAX2), an important strigolactone signaling component; an abscisic acid-restricted E3 ubiquitin ligase modulates MdMAX2 turnover, thus linking strigolactone and abscisic acid signaling.

The rice E3 ubiquitin ligases OsCIE1 and IPI7 mediate the non-proteolytic polyubiquitination of the pattern-recognition receptor kinase OsCERK1 and the transcription factor IPA1, respectively, in response to Magnaporthe oryzae infection, thereby fine-tuning rice growth-immunity trade-offs.
