Spatial Transcriptomics Identifies Immune-Stromal Niches Associated with Cancer in Adult Dermatomyositis

Ksenia S. Anufrieva, Neda Shahriari, Ce Gao, Stephanie Pei Tung Yiu, Shideh Kazerounian, Rochelle L. Castillo, Jessica Liu, Sean A. Prell, Kartik Bhamidipati, Khashayar Afshari, Lindsay Parmelee, Anastasia N. Kazakova, Erin Theisen, Teresa Venezia Bowman, Avery LaChance, , Kevin Wei

This study uses spatial and single-cell transcriptomics to identify immune-stromal niches in adult-onset dermatomyositis, revealing distinct cellular and cytokine signatures associated with cancer and non-cancer lesions.

Fibroblasts neurotrophin signaling sustains pathological vascular maturation in rheumatoid arthritis.

Vikram Khedgikar, Qian Qin, Miles Tran, Shideh Kazerounian, Ce Gao, Sean A. Prell, Alexa B. R. McIntyre, Kartik Bhamidipati, Sonia Presti, PHILIP E. BLAZAR, Jeffrey K. Lange, Morgan Jones, Ellen M. Gravallese, Mihir D. Wechalekar, Kevin Wei

The paper identifies fibroblast-derived neurotrophin signaling as a driver of abnormal vascular maturation in RA synovia and shows that neurotrophin inhibitors can reverse this process.

Spatial patterning of fibroblast TGFβ signaling underlies treatment resistance in rheumatoid arthritis

Kartik Bhamidipati, Alexa B. R. McIntyre, Shideh Kazerounian, Ce Gao, Soon Wei Wong, Miles Tran, Sean A. Prell, Rachel Lau, Vikram Khedgikar, Christopher Altmann, Annabelle Small, Roopa Madhu, Sonia Presti, Ksenia S. Anufrieva, PHILIP E. BLAZAR, , Kevin Wei

Perivascular COMPhi fibrogenic fibroblasts expand in treatment-refractory rheumatoid arthritis synovium, where endothelial Notch signaling patterns fibroblast TGF-beta sensitivity via TGFBR3 regulation and persists despite post-treatment immune cell depletion.

Fibroblasts sense spatial proximity via an EGFR CREB5 axis to restore quiescent synovial lining in remission rheumatoid arthritis

Sonia Presti, Ksenia S. Anufrieva, Ce Gao, Sean A Prell, Kartik Bhamidipati, Vikram Khedgikar, PHILIP E. BLAZAR, Jeffrey K. Lange, Morgan H Jones, Michael B. Brenner, Ellen M. Gravallese, Ilya Korsunsky, Mihir D. Wechalekar, Shideh Kazerounian, Kevin S. Wei

The paper identifies a spatial proximity-sensing mechanism in fibroblasts that restores quiescent synovial lining during RA remission through the EGFR-CREB5 axis.

Marginated neutrophils in the lungs effectively compete for nanoparticles targeted to the endothelium, serving as a part of the reticuloendothelial system

Marco E. Zamora, Eno‐Obong Essien, Kartik Bhamidipati, Aditi Murthy, Jing Liu, Hyun‐Jun Kim, Manthan N. Patel, Jia Nong, Zhicheng Wang, Carolann L. Espy, Fatima N. Chaudhry, Laura T. Ferguson, Sachchidanand Tiwari, Elizabeth D. Hood, Oscar Armando Marcos-Contreras, , Jacob Samuel Brenner

The paper shows that lung marginated neutrophils effectively uptake endothelial-targeted nanoparticles, suggesting they are part of the reticuloendothelial system.
