PD-1-cis IL-2R agonism yields better effectors from stem-like CD8(+) T cells

Douglas Hanahan, Mélanie Louise Tichet, Stephan Wullschleger, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Maria Karagianni

Expansion and differentiation of antigen-experienced PD-1(+)TCF-1(+) stem-like CD8(+) T cells into effector cells is critical for the success of immunotherapies based on PD-1 blockade(1-4). Hashimoto et al. have shown that, in chronic infections, administr ...

LncRNA Ctcflos orchestrates transcription and alternative splicing in thermogenic adipogenesis

Bart Deplancke, Petra Catalina Schwalie

The recruitment of thermogenic brite adipocytes within white adipose tissue attenuates obesity and metabolic comorbidities, arousing interest in understanding the underlying regulatory mechanisms. The molecular network of brite adipogenesis, however, remai ...

Systems-Genetics-Based Inference of a Core Regulatory Network Underlying White Fat Browning

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Petra Catalina Schwalie

Recruitment of brite/beige cells, known as browning of white adipose tissue (WAT), is an efficient way to turn an energy-storing organ into an energy-dissipating one and may therefore be of therapeutic value in combating obesity. However, a comprehensive u ...

Mechanism and effects of pulsatile GABA secretion from cytosolic pools in the human beta cell

Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan, Chiara Cianciaruso, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Edward Allen Phelps

Pancreatic beta cells synthesize and secrete the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) as a paracrine and autocrine signal to help regulate hormone secretion and islet homeostasis. Islet GABA release has classically been described as a secretory- ...

ZFP30 promotes adipogenesis through the KAP1-mediated activation of a retrotransposon-derived Pparg2 enhancer

Didier Trono, Bart Deplancke, Julien Léonard Duc, Julie Marie Russeil, Riccardo Dainese, Marco Cassano, Michaël Imbeault, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Suk Min Jang

Krüppel-associated box zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of mammalian transcription factors, but most remain completely uncharacterized. While initially proposed to primarily repress transposable elements, recent reports have revea ...

A stromal cell population that inhibits adipogenesis in mammalian fat depots

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Daniel Alpern, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Magda Zachara

Reversible De-differentiation of Mature White Adipocytes into Preadipocyte-like Precursors during Lactation

Bart Deplancke, Fei Zhang, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Wanze Chen

Dissecting the brown adipogenic regulatory network using integrative genomics

Bart Deplancke, Wanze Chen, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Johannes Julius Bues, Daniel Alpern, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Rachana Narendra Pradhan

Brown adipocytes regulate energy expenditure via mitochondrial uncoupling, which makes them attractive therapeutic targets to tackle obesity. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying brown adipogenesis are still poorly understood. To address this, we ...

ASAP: a web-based platform for the analysis and interactive visualization of single-cell RNA-seq data

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Adrian Shajkofci, Petra Catalina Schwalie

Motivation: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows whole transcriptome profiling of thousands of individual cells, enabling the molecular exploration of tissues at the cellular level. Such analytical capacity is of great interest to many research gr ...

Cross-Tissue Identification of Somatic Stem and Progenitor Cells Using a Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing Derived Gene Signature

Bart Deplancke, Jörg Hülsken, Paloma Ordonez Moran, Petra Catalina Schwalie

A long-standing question in biology is whether multipotent somatic stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) feature molecular properties that could guide their system-independent identification. Population-based transcriptomic studies have so far not been able to ...
