Eight members of the HSP/HSC70 family were identified in Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells infected with Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) by 2D electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF) and a Mascot search. The family includes five HSP70s induced by AcMNPV-infection and three constitutive cognate HSC70s that remained abundant in infected cells. Confocal microscopy revealed dynamic changes in subcellular localization of HSP/HSC70s in the course of infection. At the early stages (4 to 10 hpi), a fraction of HSPs is localized in distinct speckles in cytoplasm. The speckles contained ubiquitinylated proteins suggesting that they may be aggresomes where proteins targeted by ubiquitin are sequestered or processed for proteolysis. S. frugiperda HSP90 was identified in the 2D gels by Western blotting. Its amount was unchanged during infection. A selective inhibitor of HSP90, 17-AAG, decreased the rate of viral DNA synthesis in infected cells suggesting a supportive role of HSP90 in virus replication.

Added safety measures coupled with the development and use of pathogen reduction technologies (PRT) significantly reduces the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs) from blood products. Current approved PRTs utilize chemical and/or UV-light based inactivation methods. While the effectiveness of these PRTs in reducing pathogens are well documented, these can cause tolerable yet unintended consequences on the quality and efficacy of the transfusion products.

Influenza virus infections are a serious danger to people's health worldwide as they are responsible for seasonal flu outbreaks. There is an urgent need to improve the effectiveness and durability longevity of the immune response to influenza vaccines. We synthesized the CpG HP021 and examined the impact of it on the immune response to an influenza vaccine.

High-fat diet (HFD) induces low-grade chronic inflammation, contributing to obesity and insulin resistance. However, the precise mechanisms triggering obesity-associated metabolic inflammation remain elusive. In this study, we identified epigenetic factor Brd4 as a key player in this process by regulating the expression of Ccr2/Ccr5 in colonic macrophage.

Sepsis is defined as a dysfunctional, life-threatening response to infection leading to multiorgan dysfunction and failure. During the past decade, studies have highlighted the relationship between sepsis and aging. However, the role of aging-related mechanisms in the progression and prognosis of sepsis remains unclear.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is the new standard treatment for advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, many patients still fail to respond. This study explored the expression and prognosis of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24), and cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) in patients with hepatitis B virus-associated HCC (HBV-associated HCC). We analyzed sequencing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and investigated the expression of PD-L1, CD24, and CD47 in HBV-associated HCC patients by immunohistochemistry and their relationship with prognosis and clinicopathological factors.
