As an important member of T cytotoxic pathway-related genes, CD8a molecule (CD8A) may be a useful biomarker of immunotherapeutic response and immune cell infiltration. We aimed to investigate the clinical predictive value of CD8A in prognosis and tumor microenvironment (TME) and preoperatively predict the expression of CD8A using radiogenomics in bladder cancer (BCa). Among 12 T cytotoxic pathway-related genes, CD8A was a novel protective gene and had the highest correlations with T cells and Macrophages M1 in BCa. In advanced cancer patients treated with immunotherapy, low CD8A expression was associated with immunotherapeutic failure and poor survival outcomes. CD8A expression was highly related to tumor mutation burden, critical immune checkpoint genes and several types of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, predicting effective response to immunotherapy. The preoperative MRI radiomics features and RNA-sequence data of 111 BCa samples were used to develop a radiomics signature that achieved good performance in the prediction of CD8A expression in both the training (area under curve (AUC): 0.857) and validation sets (AUC: 0.844). CD8A is a novel indicator for predicting the prognosis and immunotherapeutic response in BCa. A radiomics signature has the potential to preoperatively predict the expression of CD8A in BCa patients.

Current fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) studies primarily focus on alcohol's actions on the fetal brain although respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in newborns. The limited studies examining the pulmonary adaptations in FASD demonstrate decreased surfactant protein A and alveolar macrophage phagocytosis, impaired differentiation, and increased risk of Group B streptococcal pneumonia with no study examining sexual dimorphism in adaptations. We hypothesized that developmental alcohol exposure in pregnancy will lead to sexually dimorphic fetal lung morphological and immune adaptations.

Objective: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is categorized as an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) with an increased risk of occurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we aimed to identify the hub genes associated with OSMF and OSCC.
Study Design: Using RStudio, a set of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in (A) OSMF, (B) OSCC, and (C) comparative OSMF-OSCC category, obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).

(1) Background: Pasteurellosis is a global zoonotic bacterial disease, which has caused significant economic impacts in animal husbandry. Nevertheless, there is limited understanding of the immune response between goat peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and goat-derived (). (2) Methods: To investigate the immune response of host PBLs during infection with type D, we established an cell model utilizing isolated primary goat PBLs.

Article Synopsis
- Tumor intrinsic β-catenin signaling influences the immune microenvironment, potentially leading to resistance against immune checkpoint inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- In a study of 50 NSCLC patients treated with anti-PD-1 therapy, those with positive β-catenin expression (20%) exhibited worse survival outcomes and lower immune cell infiltration compared to those with negative expression.
- The findings suggest that β-catenin expression is linked to poor prognosis in NSCLC, as it correlates with reduced immune cell markers and may impact gene expression related to immune response.

Temperature is an environmental parameter that remarkably affects the survival and organism health of poikilothermal animal-Whitmania pigra Whitman. Heat stress destroys the physiological homeostasis of intestine tissue. However, no studies on the intestinal mucosa response of leech exposure to heat stress have been reported so far.
