Human Kidney Spheroids and Monolayers Provide Insights into SARS-CoV-2 Renal Interactions

Using ex vivo cell models, investigators analyzed SARS-Cov2 interactions with kidney tubular cells and assessed direct tubular injury. These models comprised primary human kidney epithelial cells and more quiescent three-dimensional kidney spheroids.

HDAC4 Induces the Development of Asthma by Increasing Slug-Upregulated CXCL12 Expression through KLF5 Deacetylation

Researchers used asthma model bronchial smooth muscle cells to measure the biological behaviors of Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4)-mediated Kruppel-like factor 5 (KLF5)/Slug/CXC chemokine ligand-12 (CXCL12) axis on the development of asthma in regulation of airway inflammation and remodeling.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Impair Intestinal Barrier Functions in Sepsis by Regulating TLR9-Mediated Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway

Neutrophil extracellular traps treatment induced intestinal epithelial monolayer barrier disruption and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activation in a dose-dependent manner in vitro, and ER stress inhibition markedly attenuated intestinal apoptosis and tight junction injury.

D-Dopachrome Tautomerase Contributes to Lung Epithelial Repair via Atypical Chemokine Receptor 3-Dependent Akt Signaling

Investigators studied effects of recombinant D-dopachrome tautomerase (DDT) on cell proliferation and survival by clonogenic assay and annexin V-PI staining respectively. DDT-induced signaling was investigated by Western blot.

Inhibition of miR-1298-5p Attenuates Sepsis Lung Injury by Targeting SOCS6

miR-1298-5p and suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 (SOCS6) were silenced or overexpressed in human bronchial epithelial cells. PKH-67 Dye was used to trace exosome endocytosis.
