项目摘要

SUPPLEMENT PROJECT SUMMARY Single-cell studies of the nasal mucosa of COVID-19 and influenza patients have helped to identify epithelial cell subsets and states that are associated with disease severity. Our project’s goal is to determine the roles of specific transcription factors in specifying the fates and functions of discrete nasal epithelial cell subsets. We have prioritized these epithelial subsets, which appear to emerge from the goblet cell lineage, based on our preliminary data that highlight how closely-related goblet cell subsets are significantly enriched or depleted as targets of viral infection. Our central hypothesis is that the combined activation of two transcription factors will specify goblet cells that are uniquely-protected from RNA viral infection. Aim 1 will determine the downstream targets and gene regulatory networks induced by these transcriptional regulators, and Aim 2 will investigate the role of these transcription factors in regulating antiviral immunity in goblet cells. Identifying the transcriptional regulators of these goblet cells will allow for the generation of better ex vivo models to study their function, and to potentially rebalance epithelial cells in vivo to better-protect the nasal mucosa from viral infection.

补充项目摘要 COVID-19和影响力患者的鼻粘膜的单细胞研究有助于鉴定上皮与疾病严重程度相关的细胞子集和状态。我们项目的目标是确定指定离散鼻上皮细胞子集的命运和功能时的特定转录因子。我们已经优先考虑这些上皮子集，这些子集似乎是根据我们的初步数据突出了与密切相关的杯状细胞子集的密切富集或耗尽为病毒感染的靶标。我们的中心假设是两个转录因子的联合激活将指定从RNA病毒感染中独特保护的杯状细胞。 AIM 1将决定下游这些转录调节器引起的目标和基因调节网络，AIM 2将研究这些转录因子在控制杯状细胞中的抗病毒免疫中的作用。识别转录这些杯状细胞的调节剂将允许生成更好的离体模型来研究其功能，并且在体内重新平衡上皮细胞，从病毒感染中更好地保护鼻粘膜。
