Development of experimental protocols and data analysis methods for single cell multi-omics (KAP220149)
1. Establishment and validation of a severe allergic asthma mouse model 2. Immune cell isolation from the lungs in severe asthma mice and single-cell multiomic (transcriptome-epigenome) analysis 3. Identification of immune cell types and their subpopulations related to severe allergic asthma induction and drug (steroid) responsiveness through single-cell transcriptome analysis 4. Investigation of molecular mechanisms including signaling pathway-epigenome-gene expression related to severe asthma induction/drug responsiveness through integrated analysis of transcriptome and epigenome data for these cell subpopulations 5. Validation of diagnostic/therapeutic usefulness of the identified cell subpopulations and molecular mechanisms in mouse/patient samples 6. Identification and validation of metabolites constituting Gut-asthma axis after antibiotic administration 7. Creation of a roadmap for advancing single-cell omics research and establishment of research linkage system and international cooperation network
