Multi-omics Integration Identifies NK Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity as a Therapeutic Target in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune condition that impacts various organs. Given the intricate clinical progression of SLE, it is imperative to explore novel avenues for precise diagnosis and treatment.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from 6 SLE patients before and after treatment, 7 healthy controls and 7 disease controls. Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin with high throughput Sequencing (ATAC-seq) was used to analyze the chromatin accessibility signatures and RNA-seq was used to identify the differentially expressed genes, mRNA, lncRNA, circRNA, miRNA. Then ATAC-seq and RNA-seq were integrated to further analyze hub genes and pathways. Finally, we validated gene expression levels and examined changes in key genes after treatment through in vitro experiments.
