The present study was undertaken to isolate some compounds from methanol extract of Polygala tenuifolia and evaluate their immunostimulatory properties and antiviral activity using grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney (CIK) cells and GCRV. By applying insecticidal bioassay-guided, chromatography techniques and successive recrystallization, two purified compounds were obtained. The changes of expression of selected immune genes (Mx1, IL-1β, TNFα, MyD88 and IgM) in C. idella kidney cell lines were evaluated after exposure to these isolated compounds. The results showed that compound 1 and 2 up-regulated to varying degrees of Mx1, IL-1β, TNFα, and MyD88 in C. idella kidney cells. WST-8 kit assay verified the two compounds has no toxic effects on CIK cell, and furthermore, have in vitro antivirus activity. Especially, that there is keeping 79% cell viability when exposure to compound 2 (100 mg L(-1)). According to in vivo insecticidal assays against Dactylogyrus intermedius, compound 2 exhibited higher efficacy than compound 1, which was found to be 87.2% effective at the concentrations of 5 mg L(-1) and safe to goldfish (Carassius auratus). Besides, the purified compounds were identified by spectral data as: (1) 1,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol and (2) 3,4,5-trimethoxy cinnamic acid. Overall, the results indicate that bath administration of these compounds modulates the immune related genes in C. idella kidney cells and to some extent, eliminate the virus and parasitic infections.

Intravascular hemolysis releases hemoglobin (Hb) from red blood cells under specific conditions, yet the effect of hemolysis in aquaculture systems remain poorly understood. In this study, a continuous hemolysis model for grass carp was established by injection of phenylhydrazine (PHZ) to investigate the mechanistic impacts of sustained hemolysis. PHZ-induced hemolysis altered liver color, and subsequent hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed substantial Hb accumulation in the head kidney, accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration and vacuolization in liver tissue.

Hemorrhagic disease caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection is a major problem affecting the grass carp aquaculture industry. Therefore, inhibiting the spread of GCRV infection is of great economic significance. Herein, we sequenced five tissues (gill, liver, intestine, kidney, and muscle) from grass carp before and after GCRV infection using data-independent acquisition proteomic and untargeted metabolomic technologies, and quantitatively identified 10,808 proteins and 4040 metabolites.

Article Synopsis
- The grass carp reovirus (GCRV) significantly jeopardizes the grass carp industry in China, necessitating the development of more effective vaccines beyond the current oral vaccines that fail to provide full protection.
- Researchers combined the heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (LTB) from E. coli with a protective antigen from GCRV-II to create a new oral vaccine, which they tested on the rare minnow model to assess immune response and protective efficacy.
- Results showed that this new combination vaccine with LTB led to stronger immune responses, including higher antibody levels and improved adaptive immunity, ultimately increasing the survival rate of fish during GCRV infection, suggesting LTB's potential as a valuable adjuvant in fish

Intensive aquaculture of grass carp often leads to decreased immunity and increased disease prevalence, resulting in economic losses. Improving grass carp immunity is therefore a critical strategy for addressing these challenges. Akirin reportedly participates in myogenesis, growth, and immune responses.

Article Synopsis
- Fish cells, particularly grass carp kidney (CIK) cells, are more challenging to transfect compared to mammalian cells, necessitating a better gene delivery method.
- A novel nanocarrier made from α-lactalbumin (α-NC) was developed, showing effective absorption of nucleic acids and low toxicity, outperforming traditional liposomal transfection reagents.
- This system allowed for successful co-transfection of key genetic materials, resulting in a stable transgenic CIK cell line with integrated Cas9 and GFP, thus providing a streamlined approach for creating stable transgenic fish cell lines.
