Temperature affects the activities of the immune system and the susceptibility of fish to pathogens. To investigate the modulation of temperature on immune related gene expression in formalin-killed cells (FKC) of Edwardsiella tarda-injected Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, fish reared at 15 or 22 °C were injected with FKC of E. tarda. The up-regulation of immune related genes was detected in FKC-injected fish at both temperatures by qPCR. The mRNA expression of IFNγ was highly up-regulated at 6 h post injection (hpi) in FKC-injected fish at 15 °C, whereas at 22 °C, strong up-regulation of the gene was detected at 3 hpi The mRNA expression level of IRF1 was detected from 3 hpi to day 14 post injection in fish reared at 15 °C, but the gene was up-regulated from 3 to 6 hpi in fish reared at 22 °C. Comprehensive gene expression profiling showed that immune related genes are differentially expressed between 15 and 22 °C. Genes involved in the IFNγ signaling pathway were up-regulated at 22 °C but not at 15 °C. These results demonstrate that gene(s) involved in IFNγ signaling pathway in Japanese flounder stimulated with FKC of E. tarda are regulated by temperature.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system, characterized by progressive demyelination and inflammation. MS is characterized by immune system attacks on the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. Genome-wide association studies revealed a polymorphism in the signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) gene that increases risk for MS.

Damage activates EXG1 and RLP44 to suppress vascular differentiation during regeneration in Arabidopsis.

Plant Commun

Plants possess remarkable regenerative abilities to form de novo vasculature after damage and in response to pathogens that invade and withdraw nutrients. To look for common factors that affect vascular formation upon stress, we searched for Arabidopsis thaliana genes differentially expressed upon Agrobacterium infection, nematode infection and plant grafting. One such gene was cell wall related and highly induced by all three stresses and was named ENHANCED XYLEM AND GRAFTING1 (EXG1) since mutations in it promoted ectopic xylem formation in Vascular cell Induction culture System Using Arabidopsis Leaves (VISUAL) and enhanced graft formation.

Temporal dynamics of PM induced cell death: Emphasizing inflammation as key mediator in the late stages of prolonged myocardial toxicity.

Multiple forms of cell death contribute significantly to cardiovascular pathologies, negatively impacting cardiac remodeling and leading to heart failure. While myocardial cell death has been associated with PM induced cardiotoxicity, the temporal dynamics of various cell death forms, such as apoptosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis, in relation to inflammatory processes, remain underexplored. This study examines the time-dependent onset and progression of these cell death pathways in the myocardium and their correlation with inflammation in a Wistar rat model.

This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing data to reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of breast cancer and normal epithelial cells. Nine significant cell populations were identified through stringent quality control and batch effect correction. Further classification of breast cancer epithelial cells based on the PAM50 method and clinical subtypes highlighted significant heterogeneity between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC).
