Tubular cell and keratinocyte single-cell transcriptomics applied to lupus nephritis reveal type I IFN and fibrosis relevant pathways
Open accessAbstract
The molecular and cellular processes that lead to renal damage and to the heterogeneity of lupus nephritis (LN) are not well understood. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to renal biopsies from patients with LN and evaluated skin biopsies as a potential source of diagnostic and prognostic markers of renal disease. Type I interferon (IFN)-response signatures in tubular cells and keratinocytes distinguished patients with LN from healthy control subjects. Moreover, a high IFN-response signature and fibrotic signature in tubular cells were each associated with failure to respond to treatment. Analysis of tubular cells from patients with proliferative, membranous and mixed LN indicated pathways relevant to inflammation and fibrosis, which offer insight into their histologic differences. In summary, we applied scRNA-seq to LN to deconstruct its heterogeneity and identify novel targets for personalized approaches to therapy.

In the citing paper
“two studies, focussing on populations of hypermethylated in cancer protein (Hic1)+Pdgfrα+ lymphocyte antigen 6 complex (LY6A)+ MP populations in heart and skeletal muscle, have elegantly demonstrated MP hierarchy, diversity in the pathophysiological roles of their progeny, and how fate determination of MP is context dependent31,32.”

In the citing paper
“although Hic1 inactivation in skeletal muscle also resulted in a marked expansion of Pdgfrα+LY6A+ cells during homeostasis, this did not increase skeletal muscle fibrosis and had no substantial effect on skeletal muscle regeneration31”
From Fibrosis: from mechanisms to medicines (2020) · cites this paper as [31]
In the citing paper
“Conditional genetic inactivation of Hic1 in mice led to activation and expansion of MPs in both heart and skeletal muscle, demonstrating that Hic1 is required for maintaining MP quiescence.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
