Abstract
Analyzing colocalization of single cells with heterogeneous molecular phenotypes is essential for understanding cell-cell interactions, and cellular responses to external stimuli and their biological functions in diseases and tissues. However, existing computational methodologies identified the colocalization patterns between predefined cell populations, which can obscure the molecular signatures arising from intercellular communication. Here, we introduce DeepCOLOR, a computational framework based on a deep generative model that recovers intercellular colocalization networks with single-cell resolution by the integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomes. Along with colocalized population detection accuracy that is superior to existing methods in simulated dataset, DeepCOLOR identified plausible cell-cell interaction candidates between colocalized single cells and segregated cell populations defined by the colocalization relationships in mouse brain tissues, human squamous cell carcinoma samples, and human lung tissues infected with SARS-CoV-2. DeepCOLOR is applicable to studying cell-cell interactions behind various spatial niches. A record of this paper's transparent peer review process is included in the supplemental information.

Multifaceted oncostatin M: novel roles and therapeutic potential of the oncostatin M signaling in rheumatoid arthritis. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1258765. [PMID: 38022540 PMCID: PMC10654622 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1258765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a self-immune inflammatory disease characterized by joint damage. A series of cytokines are involved in the development of RA. Oncostatin M (OSM) is a pleiotropic cytokine that primarily activates the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, and other physiological processes such as cell proliferation, inflammatory response, immune response, and hematopoiesis through its receptor complex. In this review, we first describe the characteristics of OSM and its receptor, and the biological functions of OSM signaling. Subsequently, we discuss the possible roles of OSM in the development of RA from clinical and basic research perspectives. Finally, we summarize the progress of clinical studies targeting OSM for the treatment of RA. This review provides researchers with a systematic understanding of the role of OSM signaling in RA, which can guide the development of drugs targeting OSM for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Oncostatin M (OSM) is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in a variety of inflammatory responses such as wound healing, liver regeneration, and bone remodeling. As a member of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines, OSM binds the shared receptor gp130, recruits either OSMRβ or LIFRβ, and activates a variety of signaling pathways including the JAK/STAT, MAPK, JNK, and PI3K/AKT pathways. Since its discovery in 1986, OSM has been identified as a significant contributor to a multitude of inflammatory diseases, including arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, lung and skin disease, cardiovascular disease, and most recently, COVID-19. Additionally, OSM has also been extensively studied in the context of several cancer types including breast, cervical, ovarian, testicular, colon and gastrointestinal, brain,lung, skin, as well as other cancers. While OSM has been recognized as a significant contributor for each of these diseases, and studies have shown OSM inhibition is effective at treating or reducing symptoms, very few therapeutics have succeeded into clinical trials, and none have yet been approved by the FDA for treatment. In this review, we outline the role OSM plays in a variety of inflammatory diseases, including cancer, and outline the previous and current strategies for developing an inhibitor for OSM signaling.
