African swine fever virus (ASFV) completes the replication process by resisting host antiviral response inhibiting interferon (IFN) secretion and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) function. 2', 5'-Oligoadenylate synthetase gene 1 (OAS1) has been reported to inhibit the replication of various RNA and some DNA viruses. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in the ASFV-induced IFN-related pathway still need to be fully elucidated. Here, we found that OAS1, as a critical host factor, inhibits ASFV replication in an RNaseL-dependent manner. Furthermore, overexpression of OAS1 can promote the activation of the JAK-STAT pathway promoting innate immune responses. In addition, OAS1 plays a new function, which could interact with ASFV P72 protein to suppress ASFV infection. Mechanistically, OAS1 enhances the proteasomal degradation of P72 by promoting TRIM21-mediated ubiquitination. Meanwhile, P72 inhibits the production of avSG and affects the interaction between OAS1 and DDX6. Our findings demonstrated OAS1 as an important target against ASFV replication and revealed the mechanisms and intrinsic regulatory relationships during ASFV infection.

Clinically, phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) remain the first-line therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) patients; however, approximately 35% of these patients are still failing to respond to the therapeutic effects. So, urgent needs are required to identify novel therapeutic targets for ED. Hence, in this report, it was the first time for us to integrate single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq), mendelian randomization (MR) analysis with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL), and protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) data to find new treatment targets for ED.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women worldwide, characterized by complex molecular and cellular heterogeneity. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, there is an urgent need to identify reliable biomarkers and therapeutic targets to improve early detection and personalized therapy. The OAS (2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase) family genes, known for their roles in antiviral immunity, have emerged as potential regulators in cancer biology.

The beneficial effect of milk kefir on respiratory heath has been previously demonstrated; however, water kefir and kefiran in the context of respiratory viral infections have not been investigated. Water kefir and kefiran could be alternatives to milk kefir for their application in persons with lactose intolerance or milk allergy and could be incorporated into vegan diets. Using mice models, this work demonstrated that the oral administration of water kefir or kefiran can modulate the respiratory Toll-like receptor (TLR3)-mediated innate antiviral immunity and improve the resistance to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

Background/objectives: COVID-19 is characterised by a wide variety of clinical manifestations, and clinical tests and genetic analysis might help to predict patient outcomes.
Methods: In the current study, the expression of genes related to immune response (, , , , , and ) was analysed in the upper airway and paired-blood samples from 25 subjects infected with SARS-CoV-2. Relative gene expression was determined by RT-qPCR.

Cardiovascular disease is characterized by chronic inflammation and atherosclerosis (AS) is the pathological basis. Mitigating endothelial dysfunction and mononuclear cell adhesion is a crucial approach in impeding the initial advancement of AS. As an inflammation-immune regulation-related protein, 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) plays a critical role in inflammation, but its impact on endothelial dysfunction and mononuclear cell adhesion is not well understood.
