Objectives: Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1) and interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) are commonly induced by type I interferon. The study aims to investigate the expression and clinical significance of IFIT1 and IFITM3 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Methods: Immunohistochemistry was applied on tissue microarray to reveal IFIT1 and IFITM3 expression in 275 HNSCC, 69 dysplasia, and 42 normal mucosa samples. The clinicopathologic features associated with IFIT1 and IFITM3 expression in HNSCC patients were analyzed.
Results: IFIT1 and IFITM3 were highly expressed in HNSCC tissues. High expression of IFIT1 and IFITM3 predicts a negative prognosis for patients (P < .01). IFIT1 and IFITM3 expression was associated with programmed cell death ligand 1, B7-H4, V-domain Ig suppressor of T-cell activation, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, and macrophage marker immunoreactivity.
Conclusions: IFIT1 and IFITM3 were overexpressed in HNSCC and indicated poor prognoses for patients with HNSCC. IFIT1 and IFITM3 expression was correlated with several immune checkpoint molecules and tumor-associated macrophage markers.

Genome-wide analysis reveals the MORC3-mediated repression of PD-L1 expression in head and neck cancer.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the expression of MORC3, a transcriptional factor, in various cancers, particularly its connection to PD-L1 and the immune response against tumors.
- Results show that MORC3 is downregulated in several cancers, linking low levels of MORC3 to poor survival rates and increased expression of immune-related genes when MORC3 is knocked down.
- The research suggests that knocking down MORC3 not only raises PD-L1 levels but also activates genes related to cellular proliferation, indicating a complex role of MORC3 in cancer biology.
Knockout of the WD40 domain of ATG16L1 enhances foot and mouth disease virus replication.

The WD40 domain is one of the most abundant domains and is among the top interacting domains in eukaryotic genomes. The WD40 domain of ATG16L1 is essential for LC3 recruitment to endolysosomal membranes during non-canonical autophagy, but dispensable for canonical autophagy. Canonical autophagy was utilized by FMDV, while the relationship between FMDV and non-canonical autophagy is still elusive.

Advanced age is associated with an increased susceptibility to Coronavirus Disease (COVID)-19 and more severe outcomes, although the underlying mechanisms are understudied. The lung endothelium is located next to infected epithelial cells and bystander inflammation may contribute to thromboinflammation and COVID-19-associated coagulopathy. Here, we investigated age-associated SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and endothelial inflammatory responses using humanized K18-hACE2 mice.

Type I interferons and Mycobacterium tuberculosis whole cell lysate induce distinct transcriptional responses in M. tuberculosis infection.

Type I interferon (IFN)-induced genes have the potential for distinguishing active tuberculosis (ATB) from latent TB infection (LTBI) and healthy controls (HC), monitoring treatment, and detection of individuals at risk of progression to active disease. We examined the differential effects of IFN-α, IFN-β and Mycobacterium tuberculosis whole cell lysate (Mtb WCL) stimulation on the expression of selected IFN-stimulated genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals with either LTBI, ATB, and healthy controls. Stimulation with IFN-α and IFN-β induced a higher expression of the interrogated genes while Mtb WCL stimulation induced expression similar to that observed at baseline, with the exception of IL-1A and IL-1B genes that were downregulated.
