Open AccessNur77-IRF1 axis inhibits esophageal squamous cell carcinoma growth and improves anti-PD-1 treatment efficacy
The nuclear receptor Nur77 plays paradoxical roles in numerous cancers. However, whether Nur77 inhibits esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) growth and affects immunological responses against ESCC has not...

Open AccessInhibition of autophagy-related protein 7 enhances anti-tumor immune response and improves efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade in microsatellite instability colorectal cancer
The efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy is primarily hindered by the limited T-cell immune response rate and immune evasion capacity of tumor cells. Autophagy-related protein 7 (ATG7) plays an important role in auto...

Open AccessThe single-cell transcriptomic atlas and RORA-mediated 3D epigenomic remodeling in driving corneal epithelial differentiation
Proper differentiation of corneal epithelial cells (CECs) from limbal stem/progenitor cells (LSCs) is required for maintenance of ocular homeostasis and clear vision. Here, using a single-cell transcriptomic a...

Open AccessComprehensive 3D epigenomic maps define limbal stem/progenitor cell function and identity
The insights into how genome topology couples with epigenetic states to govern the function and identity of the corneal epithelium are poorly understood. Here, we generate a high-resolution Hi-C interaction ma...

Open AccessCore transcription regulatory circuitry orchestrates corneal epithelial homeostasis
Adult stem cell identity, plasticity, and homeostasis are precisely orchestrated by lineage-restricted epigenetic and transcriptional regulatory networks. Here, by integrating super-enhancer and chromatin acce...

Open AccessLoss of FOXC1 contributes to the corneal epithelial fate switch and pathogenesis
Forkhead box C1 (FOXC1) is required for neural crest and ocular development, and mutations in FOXC1 lead to inherited Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome. Here, we find that FOXC1 and paired box 6 (PAX6) are co-expressed in...

Open AccessLong Noncoding RNA CTC Inhibits Proliferation and Invasion by Targeting miR-146 to Regulate KIT in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Several lines of evidence have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are dysregulated in many diseases. Nevertheless, the biological relevance of the lncRNAs in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has not be...
