PR-1 has been extensively used as a marker for salicylic acid (SA)-mediated defence and systemic and local acquired resistance. The Arabidopsis Genome Project annotates At2g19990 as PR-1. This gene is also identified as PR-1 in two "full genome" Arabidopsis microarrays, and TAIR cites approximately 60 articles to describe its patterns of expression. However, most of these citations are incorrect; the probes used were not At2g19990, but a homologous gene At2g14610, which is annotated as "PR-1-like". Because of the potential for confusion, we analyzed the expression of both genes in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. At2g14610 (PR-1-like) showed the archetypal patterns of SA-responsive expression: mRNA levels increased following SA-treatment, inoculation with an avirulent (but not a virulent) strain of Pseudomonas syringae, and in wild-type (but not NahG) Arabidopsis infected with cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV). In cpr5 mutants it was expressed constitutively. In contrast, expression of At2g19990 (annotated as PR-1) was detectable in neither SA-treated Col-0 nor in cpr5. Infection by virulent and avirulent isolates of P. syringae up-regulated expression, but to a similar level, and infection by CaMV induced a modest increase in expression in both the wild type and NahG. At2g19990, although pathogen responsive, does not show the SA-dependent patterns of expression expected from a member of the PR-1 regulon, and its annotation as " PR-1" is inappropriate. The annotations should identify At2g14610 as the authentic PR-1.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) encompasses a range of histological findings from the generally benign simple steatosis to steatohepatitis (MASH) which can progress to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Several factors, including the microbiome, may contribute to disease progression.
Results: Here, we demonstrate links between the presence and abundance of specific bacteria in the adipose and liver tissues, inflammatory genes, immune cell responses, and disease severity.

Background: Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) initiate the process of odorant perception. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that OBPs bind a broad variety of chemicals and are more likely to carry pheromones or odor molecules with high binding affinities. However, few studies have investigated its effects on insect behavior.

The thrombolytic protease tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is expressed in the CNS, where it regulates diverse functions including neuronal plasticity, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain-barrier integrity. However, its role in different brain regions such as the substantia nigra (SN) is largely unexplored. In this study, we characterize tPA expression, activity, and localization in the SN using a combination of retrograde tracing and β-galactosidase tPA reporter mice.

Recent research has highlighted widespread dysregulation of alternative polyadenylation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP). Here, we identify significant disruptions to 3` UTR polyadenylation in the ALS/FTLD-TDP mouse model rNLS8 that correlate with changes in gene expression and protein levels through the re-analysis of published RNA sequencing and proteomic data. A subset of these changes are shared with TDP-43 knock-down mice suggesting depletion of endogenous mouse TDP-43 is a contributor to polyadenylation dysfunction in rNLS8 mice.

Background: Sepsis and shock are common complications of necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTI). Sepsis encompasses different endotypes that are associated with specific immune responses. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment activates the cells oxygen sensing mechanisms that are interlinked with inflammatory pathways.
