An Aberrant Immune–Epithelial Progenitor Niche Drives Viral Lung Sequelae

Harish Narasimhan, PhD, will present the recently published Nature article investigating long-term consequences of COVID-19 by establishing a mouse model of post-viral lung disease. Using this mouse model, they identified an aberrant immune–epithelial progenitor niche unique to fibroproliferation in respiratory post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). They found lung-resident CD8+ T cell–macrophage interactions as critical interactions for impairing alveolar regeneration and driving fibrotic sequelae after acute viral pneumonia. They also discuss important avenues of therapies for patients with long-term post-viral disease. Following the presentation, there will be a panel discussion from experts in the field.

"Improved Annotation of Asthma Gene Variants with Cell Type Deconvolution of Nasal and Lung Expression-Quantitative Trait Loci"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39836087/

Our findings demonstrate increased power for identifying eQTLs among asthma-associated SNPs by considering cell-type proportion of the bulk-RNA-seq data from nasal and lung tissues. Integration of cell-type deconvolution and eQTL analysis enhances our understanding of asthma genetics and cellular mechanisms, uncovering potential therapeutic targets for personalized interventions.

Asthma is a genetically complex inflammatory airway disease associated with over 200 Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, the functional effects of many asthma-associated SNPs in lung and airway epithelial samples are unknown. Here, we aimed to conduct expression quantitative trait loci....
