Abstract Objective: To characterize shared immune-associated programs between sepsis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), define the cellular context of prioritized candidate genes, and functionally evaluate SIGLEC1 in macrophage inflammatory responses. Methods: Public transcriptomic datasets were analyzed to identify common differentially expressed genes using the limma package.

Abstract This study aimed to screen lysosome-related genes that distinguish sepsis from Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), in order to provide potential targets for the differential diagnosis of sepsis and for lysosome-targeted therapeutic strategies. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 12 SIRS patients and 20 sepsis patients for RNA sequencing and differential expression analysis. Meanwhile, lysosome-related gene sets were obtained from the Gene Ontology database.

Abstract Desmosomes are cell-cell adhesive junctions that provide structural integrity and mechanical resistance to tissues. Disruptions in desmosome organization lead to severe cardiac and dermatological disorders. Emerging evidence reveals that desmosomes exhibit dynamic behaviors during remodeling. However, the mechanisms that initiate and regulate these dynamics under physiological conditions, and their correlation with desmosome-related disorders remain elusive.
