The vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) is the most complex system of the body. The CNS, especially the brain, is generally regarded as immune-privileged. However, the specialized immune strategies in the brain and how immune cells, specifically macrophages in the brain, respond to virus invasion remain poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the potential immune response of macrophages in the brain of orange-spotted groupers () following red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) infection. We observed that RGNNV induced macrophages to produce an inflammatory response in the brain of orange-spotted grouper, and the macrophages exhibited M1-type polarization after RGNNV infection. In addition, we found RGNNV-induced macrophage M1 polarization via the CXCR3.2- CXCL11 pathway. Furthermore, we observed that RGNNV triggered M1 polarization in macrophages, resulting in substantial proinflammatory cytokine production and subsequent damage to brain tissue. These findings reveal a unique mechanism for brain macrophage polarization, emphasizing their role in contributing to nervous tissue damage following viral infection in the CNS.

Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) and nervous necrosis virus (NNV) are two common and important causative agents in marine-cultured fish. However, high viral loads of both ISKNV and NNV in the same clinical case is unusual. In this study, a mass mortality event of Asian seabass Lates calcarifer juveniles occurred in Zhuhai, the main Asian seabass cultured area in mainland China.

Parkin is an E3 ubiquitinated ligase that mainly participates in mitophagy and plays an essential biological role in organisms. To investigate Parkin's function in fish, a Parkin homolog was cloned from Epinephelus coioides (EcParkin). The open reading frame (ORF) of EcParkin consists of 1461 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 486 amino acids, with a predicted molecular weight of 53.

One of the most highly induced genes in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae after infection with the nodavirus red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) was a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), which has remained uncharacterized and erroneously annotated in zebrafish and other fish species as galectin 17 (lgals17). We characterized this gene and named it immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain-containing protein (igldcp), a new member of the IgSF that does not possess orthologs in mammals. Igldcp expression is induced by viral infection and it belongs to the group of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs).

Viral nervous necrosis caused by the nervous necrosis virus (NNV) poses a significant threat to the global aquaculture industry. Developing preventive methods to minimize economic losses due to NNV infections is crucial. This study explored the role of the sorting nexin 27 () gene, encoded by the orange-spotted grouper () and referred to as , as an immune regulator affecting red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) infection .
