Lysozyme nephropathy is a frequently unrecognized cause of renal disease in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and may serve as a novel indication for treatment in this patient population. We demonstrate that in newly diagnosed CMML patients, plasma lysozyme levels are positively correlated with both absolute monocyte count and serum creatinine.

Article Synopsis
- The common carp, a key freshwater fish in aquaculture, is facing high mortality rates due to bacterial infections linked to intensive farming practices.
- The study analyzed the relationship between infection concentration and immune response by measuring mortality rates, serum LZM, IgM levels, and gene expression in the fish's head kidney.
- Findings revealed that higher pathogen concentrations correlated with increased mortality and immune markers, identifying numerous immune-related genes and pathways that are crucial for understanding carp’s immune response to infections.
Immune response and bacterial resistance of against bacterial fish pathogen with saffron diet.

Hepcidin belongs to a class of small cationic antimicrobial peptides rich in cysteine. It is synthesized by liver and is widely involved in host antimicrobial, antiviral and other immune responses. We identified and characterized three hepcidin genes (OpHep1, OpHep2 and OpHep3) in spotted knifejaw.

- Lanthionine synthetase C-like 2 (LANCL2) is identified as a key immunoregulatory target in treating autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with the investigational drug NIM-1324 aimed at improving patient outcomes.
- In laboratory models, mice lacking LANCL2 exhibited severe symptoms of inflammation, while treatment with NIM-1324 enhanced regulatory T cell populations and reduced harmful inflammatory T cells, leading to overall better health markers.
- NIM-1324 also showed efficacy in human immune cells from SLE patients, lowering pro-inflammatory cytokines and supporting a more balanced immune response, indicating its potential as a therapeutic option.
Galectin-9 activates host immune response and improve immunoprotection of Onychostoma macrolepis against Aeromonas hydrophila infection.

Galectin-9 (Gal-9) belongs to a family of the glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) and is known to restrict bacterial activity via interacting with pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMPs). However, the underlying immune mechanism of endogenous Gal-9 on fish against bacterial infection is still unclear. In this study, effects of Gal-9 from Onychostoma macrolepis (OmGal-9) on expression of immune-related genes were measured by HEK293T.
