SUMMARY

Aims: The detailed characteristics of the cells present in the local tissues of affected organs are not well understood. Recent advances in analytical techniques have made it possible to analyze cells in human specimens in detail. These analyses have shown, for example, that the gene expression of immune cells in peripheral blood differs from that in tissues, and the importance of analyzing cells in diseased tissues has become clear. This study aims to elucidate the pathophysiology of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in humans by analyzing the constituent cells and immune cells in affected tissues of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in detail.

Methods: single-cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, scASAP-seq, CITE-seq, VDJ-seq, Spacial RNA expression analysis (Xenium)
