Article Abstract
Virus-generated PAMP RNAs are key factors that activate host immune response. The PAMP RNAs are therefore usually closely related with viral disease pathogenesis. Quantitative real time PCR is a conventional method to assess RNA. However, it cannot be used for detecting short dsRNAs generated by viral replicase. This protocol was established to analyze the PAMP RNAs produced by viruses which are able to induce host immune response. Classical viral PAMP RNAs and non-classical viral PAMP RNAs are analyzed separately. Briefly, to access total viral PAMP RNAs, total RNA was extracted from the virus infected cells and then transfected into Cop5 cells. Whereas, to assess non-classical viral PAMP RNAs, the constructs expressing viral replicase are transfected into Cop5 cells. The amount of IFNα/β produced by Cop5 cells, determined by ELISA, is correlated with the total and non-classical viral PAMP RNAs. Since this method is based on type I IFN response, it is therefore suitable for measuring the functional virus-generated PAMP RNAs and also for assessing the efficiency of these PAMP RNAs.

Background: Dogs are definitive hosts of , with the small intestine being the only site of parasitic infections. However, the immunomodulatory processes that occur during interactions between and its definitive host remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate gene transcription patterns in canine small intestinal epithelial cells (CIECs) following stimulation by protoscoleces (PSCs).

Phytosulfokine (PSK) is a plant growth-promoting peptide hormone that is perceived by its cell surface receptors PSKR1 and PSKR2 in Arabidopsis. Plants lacking the PSK receptors show phenotypes consistent with PSK signaling repressing some plant defenses. To gain further insight into the PSK signaling mechanism, comprehensive transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis treated with PSK was performed, and the effects of PSK treatment on plant defense readouts were monitored.

Background: Antibodies blocking programmed death (PD)-1 or its ligand (PD-L1) have revolutionized cancer care, but many patients do not experience durable benefits. Novel treatments to stimulate antitumor immunity are needed in the PD-(L)1 refractory setting. The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) protein, an innate sensor of cytoplasmic DNA, is a promising target with several agonists in development.

Cells are equipped with intracellular RIG-like Receptors (RLRs) detecting double stranded (ds)RNA, a molecule with Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMPs) generated during the life cycle of many viruses. Melanoma Differentiation-Associated protein 5 (MDA5), a helicase enzyme member of the RLRs encoded by the ifih1 gene, binds to long dsRNA molecules during a viral infection and initiates production of type I interferon (IFN1) which orchestrates the antiviral response. In order to understand the contribution of MDA5 to viral resistance in fish cells, we have isolated a clonal Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha epithelial-like cell line invalidated for the ifih1 gene by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the roles of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in inflammation during sepsis, focusing on their dynamics in patients with bacterial infections.
- Blood samples were taken from 83 patients with confirmed infections to analyze various DAMPs and a previously studied PAMP (16S rDNA) to assess their potential as diagnostic and prognostic markers.
- Findings show that nuclear DNA (nDNA) is a strong predictor for both sepsis and poor outcomes, with significant correlations established between high levels of nDNA and 16S rDNA during the early days of hospitalization.
