Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by fibrosis and vasculopathy affecting the skin and internal organs, leading to multiorgan dysfunction. Injury of microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) in SSc impairs blood flow and causes tissue ischemia, leading to vascular complications such as Raynaud's, digital …

OBJECTIVES: Vasculopathy and fibrosis are central to the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and their genetic underpinnings are largely unknown. Here, we sought to examine the aetiology of severe vascular phenotypes and poorer outcomes in African American (AA) patients with SSc. METHODS: …

Objectives Pulmonary fibrosis can result from autoimmune, inflammatory, or idiopathic conditions, including systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Previous studies have implicated myofibroblasts and SPP1 hi macrophages as drivers of fibrosis in lungs, as well as other tissues. Single-cell RNA-sequencing has delineated …

macrophages as drivers of fibrosis. Single-cell RNA sequencing has delineated fibroblast and macrophages transcriptomes, but limited insight into transcriptional control of profibrotic gene programs. To address this challenge, we analyzed multiomic snATAC/snRNA-seq on explanted SSc-ILD and donor control lungs. The neural network …

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and a leading cause of mortality among patients with this disease. PH can also occur as an idiopathic condition (idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension). Investigation of transcriptomic alterations in vascular populations …

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) frequently arises as a complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), and is a major cause of death among patients with this condition. Pulmonary vasculopathy in SSc is characterized by endothelial dysfunction with subsequent remodeling of the pulmonary vasculature, especially …

PROBLEM: Interferon epsilon (IFN-ε) is constitutively expressed in the epithelium of female reproductive tract and confers vital protection against sexually transmitted pathogens in mouse models. However, there is limited insight into the role of IFN-ε in human sexually transmitted infections such as …
