Project description:Cadherin 11 (Cdh11), a cell-to-cell adhesion molecule, has been suggested to promote tumor growth and immunosuppression in PDAC, and Cdh11 inhibition significantly extended survival in mice with PDAC. However, the mechanisms by which Cdh11 deficiency influences PDAC progression and anti-tumor immune responses has yet to be fully elucidated. To investigate Cdh11-deficiency induced changes in PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME), we crossed p48-Cre; LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL-Trp53R172H/+ (KPC) mice with Cdh11+/- mice and performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of the non-immune (CD45-) and immune (CD45+) compartment of KPC tumor bearing Cdh11 proficient (KPC-Cdh11+/+) and Cdh11 deficient (KPC-Cdh11+/-) mice.

Project description:Chromosomal abnormalities are important causes of miscarriages. To delinate the chromosomal abnormalities in miscarriages, 564 miscarriages were collected and analyzed using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. 336 (59.6%) miscarriages were with abnormal copy number variations (CNVs), including 325 (57.6%) miscarriages with pathogenic CNVs and 11 (2%) miscarriages with variations of unknown significance (VOUS). The remaining 228 (40.4%) miscarriages had no clinically relevant chromosomal variants.
Project description:The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is emerging as a significant clinical concern in tertiary hospitals and in particular, long-term care facilities with deficiencies in infection control. This study aims to evaluate an advanced matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (A-MALDI) method for the identification of carbapenemases and further discrimination of their subtypes in clinical isolates. The A-MALDI method was employed to detect CPE target proteins. Enhancements were made to improve detectability and mass accuracy through the optimization of MALDI-TOF settings and internal mass calibration. A total of 581 clinical isolates were analyzed, including 469 CPE isolates (388 KPC, 51 NDM, 40 OXA, and 2 GES) and 112 carbapenemase-negative isolates. Clinical evaluation of the A-MALDI demonstrated 100% accuracy and precision in identifying all the collected CPE isolates. Additionally, A-MALDI successfully discriminated individual carbapenemase subtypes (KPC-2 or KPC-3/4; OXA-48 or OXA-181 or OXA-232; GES-5 or GES-24) and also differentiated co-producing carbapenemase strains (KPC & NDM; KPC & OXA; KPC & GES; NDM & OXA), attributed to its high mass accuracy and simultaneous detection capability. A-MALDI is considered a valuable diagnostic tool for accurately identifying CPE and carbapenemase’s subtypes in clinical isolates. It may also aid in selecting appropriate antibiotics for each carbapenemase subtype. Ultimately, we expect that the A-MALDI method will contribute to preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance and improving human public health.
