Notch signaling manipulates the function and phenotype of dendritic cells (DCs), as well as the interaction between DCs and CD4 T cells. However, the role of Notch signaling in () infection remains elusive. Murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were pretreated in the absence or presence of Notch signaling inhibitor DAPT prior to stimulation and the levels of Notch components, cytokines and surface markers as well as the differentiation of CD4 T cells in co-culture were measured using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry. Compared with the control, the mRNA expression of all Notch receptors and Notch ligands Dll4 and Jagged1 was up-regulated in -stimulated BMDCs. The blockade of Notch signaling by DAPT influenced the production of IL-1β and IL-10 in -pulsed BMDCs, and reduced the expression of Notch1, Notch3, Notch4, Dll1, Dll3 and Jagged2. In addition, DAPT pretreatment decreased the expression of maturation markers CD80, CD83, CD86, and major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) of BMDCs, and further skewed Th17/Treg balance toward Treg. Notch signaling regulates the function and phenotype of DCs, thus mediating the differentiation of CD4 T cells during infection.

Objective: Colorectal cancer is severely challenging because of the insufficient understanding of the mechanism underlying its resistance to clinical chemotherapy. The purpose of our study is to investigate the role of the LIM protein Ajuba (JUB) in the chemoresistance of colon cancer and its potential effect on clinical treatment.
Material And Methods: The protein levels of JUB in colon cancer tissues were evaluated using Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry assays.

The abnormal expression of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is linked to the development of various diseases. Accurate determination of AChE activity as well as screening AChE inhibitors (AChEIs) holds paramount importance for early diagnosis and treatment of AChE-related diseases. Herein, a fluorescent and colorimetric dual-channel probe based on gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and manganese dioxide nanosheets (MnO NSs) was developed.

Innate-like splenic marginal zone (MZ) B (MZB) cells play unique roles in immunity due to their rapid responsiveness to blood-borne microbes. How MZB cells integrate cell-extrinsic and -intrinsic processes to achieve accelerated responsiveness is unclear. We found that Delta-like1 (Dll1) Notch ligands in splenic fibroblasts regulated MZB cell pool size, migration, and function.

Mycobacterium abscessus (Mabs), an intracellular and opportunistic pathogen, is considered the most pathogenic fast-growing mycobacterium, and causes severe pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. While bacterial factors contributing to its pathogenicity are well studied, the host factors and responses that worsen Mabs infection are not fully understood. Here, we report that Mabs systemic infection alters Drosophila melanogaster intestinal homeostasis.

The duck industry is vital for supplying high-quality protein, making research into the development of duck skeletal muscle critical for improving meat and egg production. In this study, we leveraged Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing to perform full-length transcriptome sequencing of myoblasts harvested from the leg muscles of duck embryos at embryonic day 13 (E13), specifically examining both the proliferative (GM) and differentiation (DM) phases. Our analysis identified a total of 5797 novel transcripts along with 2332 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), revealing substantial changes in gene expression linked to muscle development.
