The pathology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and the majority of lung cancers involve the small airway epithelium (SAE), the single continuous layer of cells lining the airways ?6th generations. The basal cells (BC) are the stem/progenitor cells of the SAE, responsible for the differentiation into intermediate cells and ciliated, club and mucous differentiated cells. To facilitate the study of the biology of the human SAE in health and disease, we immortalized and characterized a normal human SAE basal cell line.

Transcriptional signatures as a disease-specific and predictive inflammatory biomarker for type 1 diabetes.

View SamplesThe complex milieu of inflammatory mediators associated with many diseases is often too dilute to directly measure in the periphery, necessitating development of more sensitive measurements suitable for mechanistic studies, earlier diagnosis, guiding selection of therapy, and monitoring interventions. Previously, we determined that plasma of recent-onset (RO) Type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients induce a proinflammatory transcriptional signature in fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) relative to that of unrelated healthy controls (HC). Here, using an optimized cryopreserved PBMC-based protocol, we analyzed larger RO T1D and HC cohorts. In addition, we examined T1D progression by looking at longitudinal, pre-onset and longstanding T1D samples.

View SamplesIgE antibodies mediate the symptoms of allergic reactions, yet these antibodies and the cells that produce them remain enigmatic due to their scarcity in humans. To address this, we have isolated single B cells of all isotypes, including rare IgE producing B cells, from the peripheral blood of food allergic individuals. Using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) we have characterized the gene expression, splicing, and heavy and light chain antibody sequences of these cells.
