Sterile systemic inflammation may contribute to neuroinflammation and accelerate the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) is a key signaling molecule that regulates immune responses by regulating macrophage activation, various inflammatory pathways, and inflammasome formation. This study aims to study the role of PKR in regulating sterile systemic inflammation-triggered neuroinflammation and cognitive dysfunctions.

In farm animals, little is known about the relationship between energy metabolism of immune cells and their activation state. Moreover, there has recently been evidence that dexamethasone, a powerful glucocorticoid-based drug, can exert its anti-inflammatory effects by interfering with the energy metabolism of immune cells, but the mechanisms are not yet fully understood. To address these knowledge gaps, we explored the connection between the energy metabolism of porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and their response to pro- and anti-inflammatory stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and dexamethasone (DEX) .

Recent studies have highlighted the potential contribution of CD4 T cells with cytotoxic activity (CD4 CTLs) to anti-tumor immunity. However, their precise roles remain elusive, partly due to the absence of specific markers defining CD4 CTLs with target-killing potential in humans. We previously demonstrated that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven immortalized B cell lines efficiently induce human CD4 CTLs with cytotoxic functions comparable to cytotoxic CD8 T cells (CD8 CTLs).

Objective: Both B-cell- and T-cell-mediated immunity are crucial for the effective clearance of viral infection, but little is known about the dynamic characteristics of SARS-CoV-2-specific B-cell and T-cell responses in people living with HIV (PLWH) after a full course of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
Methods: In this study, fifty people living with HIV (PLWH) and thirty healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled to assess B-cell and T-cell responses at the day before the vaccination (T0), two weeks after the first dose (T1), two months after the first dose (T2), the day of the third dose (T3), one month after the third dose (T4), three months after the third dose (T5) and 12 months (T6) after the third dose.
Results: SARS-CoV-2-specific B-cell and T-cell responses were induced in people living with HIV (PLWH), and these responses lasted at least one year after the third vaccine dose.
