Teleost red blood cells (RBCs) are nucleated and therefore can propagate cellular responses to exogenous stimuli. RBCs can mount an immune response against a variety of fish viruses, including the viral septicemia hemorrhagic virus (VHSV), which is one of the most prevalent fish viruses resulting in aquaculture losses. In this work, RBCs from blood and head kidney samples of rainbow trout challenged with VHSV were analyzed via transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. We detected an overrepresentation of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to the type I interferon response and signaling in RBCs from the head kidney and related to complement activation in RBCs from blood. Antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen was overrepresented in RBCs from both tissues. DEGs shared by both tissues showed an opposite expression profile. In summary, this work has demonstrated that teleost RBCs can modulate the immune response during an in vivo viral infection, thus implicating RBCs as cell targets for the development of novel immunomodulants.

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing technologies, has enabled rapid and efficient sequencing of large amounts of DNA and RNA. These technologies have revolutionized the field of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics and have been widely used in cancer research, leading to advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Improvements in the NGS technologies enabled millions of fragments to be sequenced simultaneously in a time- and cost-effective manner and resulted in large amount of genomic data which require efficient analysis methods.

Background: In regions with a high prevalence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, coinfected patients face a heightened risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), termed HBV/HCV-related HCC (HBCV-HCC). We aimed to investigate the contribution of preexisting chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and subsequent chronic hepatitis C (CHC) to the development of HBCV-HCC.
Methods: We examined HBV's involvement in 93 HBCV-HCC cases by analyzing HBV DNA integration as an indicator of HCC originating from HBV-infected hepatocytes, compared with 164 HBV-HCCs and 56 HCV-HCCs as controls.

CITE-seq provides a powerful method for simultaneously measuring RNA and protein expression at the single-cell level. The integrated analysis of RNA and protein expression in identical cells is crucial for revealing cellular heterogeneity. However, the high experimental costs associated with CITE-seq limit its widespread application.

Tooth development is a complex process of the orderly interaction between epithelium originating from the ectoderm and mesenchyme derived from cranial neural crest cells, which not only depends on cell genes regulatory network but also involves crosstalk between cells and their surrounding environment. Even within the same type of cellular populations, obvious heterogeneity may be observed. Single-cell RNA sequencing is a novel technology aimed at sequencing the transcriptome of individual cell.
