PD-1-cis IL-2R agonism yields better effectors from stem-like CD8(+) T cells

Douglas Hanahan, Stephan Wullschleger, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Mélanie Louise Tichet, Maria Karagianni

Expansion and differentiation of antigen-experienced PD-1(+)TCF-1(+) stem-like CD8(+) T cells into effector cells is critical for the success of immunotherapies based on PD-1 blockade(1-4). Hashimoto et al. have shown that, in chronic infections, administr ...

LncRNA Ctcflos orchestrates transcription and alternative splicing in thermogenic adipogenesis

Bart Deplancke, Petra Catalina Schwalie

The recruitment of thermogenic brite adipocytes within white adipose tissue attenuates obesity and metabolic comorbidities, arousing interest in understanding the underlying regulatory mechanisms. The molecular network of brite adipogenesis, however, remai ...

WILEY2021

Systems-Genetics-Based Inference of a Core Regulatory Network Underlying White Fat Browning

Bart Deplancke, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Julie Marie Russeil

Recruitment of brite/beige cells, known as browning of white adipose tissue (WAT), is an efficient way to turn an energy-storing organ into an energy-dissipating one and may therefore be of therapeutic value in combating obesity. However, a comprehensive u ...

Mechanism and effects of pulsatile GABA secretion from cytosolic pools in the human beta cell

Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan, Edward Allen Phelps, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Chiara Cianciaruso

Pancreatic beta cells synthesize and secrete the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) as a paracrine and autocrine signal to help regulate hormone secretion and islet homeostasis. Islet GABA release has classically been described as a secretory- ...

ZFP30 promotes adipogenesis through the KAP1-mediated activation of a retrotransposon-derived Pparg2 enhancer

Carine Delattre-Gubelmann, Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Bart Deplancke, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Marco Cassano, Michaël Imbeault, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Suk Min Jang, Riccardo Dainese, Julie Marie Russeil, Wanze Chen, Evgeniia Pankevich

Krüppel-associated box zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of mammalian transcription factors, but most remain completely uncharacterized. While initially proposed to primarily repress transposable elements, recent reports have revea ...

Nature Research2019

A stromal cell population that inhibits adipogenesis in mammalian fat depots

Bart Deplancke, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Julie Marie Russeil, Magda Zachara, Daniel Alpern

Reversible De-differentiation of Mature White Adipocytes into Preadipocyte-like Precursors during Lactation

Bart Deplancke, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Wanze Chen, Fei Zhang

Cell Press2018

Dissecting the brown adipogenic regulatory network using integrative genomics

Bart Deplancke, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Rachana Narendra Pradhan, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Julie Marie Russeil, Wanze Chen, Daniel Alpern, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Johannes Julius Bues

Brown adipocytes regulate energy expenditure via mitochondrial uncoupling, which makes them attractive therapeutic targets to tackle obesity. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying brown adipogenesis are still poorly understood. To address this, we ...

ASAP: a web-based platform for the analysis and interactive visualization of single-cell RNA-seq data

Bart Deplancke, Adrian Shajkofci, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux

Motivation: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) allows whole transcriptome profiling of thousands of individual cells, enabling the molecular exploration of tissues at the cellular level. Such analytical capacity is of great interest to many research gr ...

Oxford University Press2017

Cross-Tissue Identification of Somatic Stem and Progenitor Cells Using a Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing Derived Gene Signature

Jörg Hülsken, Bart Deplancke, Paloma Ordonez Moran, Petra Catalina Schwalie

A long-standing question in biology is whether multipotent somatic stem and progenitor cells (SSPCs) feature molecular properties that could guide their system-independent identification. Population-based transcriptomic studies have so far not been able to ...

GLUT3 is induced during epithelial-mesenchymal transition and promotes tumor cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer

Mark Jonathan Masin, Bart Deplancke, Etienne Meylan, Jessica Christine Vazquez, Natasha Ella Samson, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Svenja Johanna Groeneveld

Alterations in glucose metabolism and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) constitute two important characteristics of carcinoma progression toward invasive cancer. Despite an extensive characterization of each of them separately, the links between EMT ...

Identification of the transcription factor ZEB1 as a central component of the adipogenic gene regulatory network

Gilles Udin, Didier Trono, Andrea Corsinotti, Bart Deplancke, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Sebastian Martin Waszak, Petra Catalina Schwalie

Adipose tissue is a key determinant of whole body metabolism and energy homeostasis. Unraveling the regulatory mechanisms underlying adipogenesis is therefore highly relevant from a biomedical perspective. Our current understanding of fat cell differentiat ...
