    Abstract: Viral diseases have always been intricate and persistent issues throughout the world and there is a lack of holistic discoveries regarding the molecular dysregulations of virus-host interactions. The temporal proteomics strategy can identify various differentially expressed proteins and offer collaborated interaction networks under pathological conditions. Method Herein, temporal proteomics at various hours post infection of Vero cells were launched to uncover molecular alternations during vaccinia virus (VACV)-induced cell migration. Different stages of infection were included to differentiate gene ontologies and critical pathways at specific time points of infection via bioinformatics. Results Bioinformatic results showed functional and distinct ontologies and pathways at different stages of virus infection. The enrichment of interaction networks and pathways verified the significances of the regulation of actin cytoskeleton and lamellipodia during VACV-induced fast cell motility. Discussion The current results offer a systematic proteomic profiling of molecular dysregulations at different stages of VACV infection and potential biomedical targets for treating viral diseases.

    Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is considered a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significant social, communication, and behavioral impairments. The gut microbiota is increasingly considered a promising therapeutic target in ASD. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) has recently been shown to modulate the gut microbiota. We hypothesized that FXR agonist GW4064 could ameliorate behavioral deficits in an animal model for autism: BTBR T + Itpr3 tf /J (BTBR) mouse. As expected, administration of GW4064 rescued the sociability of BTBR mice in the three-chamber sociability test and male-female social reciprocal interaction test, while no effects were observed in C57BL/6J mice. We also found that GW4064 administration increased fecal microbial abundance and counteracted the common ASD phenotype of a high Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio in BTBR mice. In addition, GW4064 administration reversed elevated Lactobacillus and decreased Allobaculum content in the fecal matter of BTBR animals. Our findings show that GW4064 administration alleviates social deficits in BTBR mice and modulates selective aspects of the composition of the gut microbiota, suggesting that GW4064 supplementation might prove a potential strategy for improving ASD symptoms.

    Abstract: Pythium insidiosum is a rare fungus-like pathogen that is known to cause pythiosis in mammals with high morbidity and mortality. Identification of the pathogen is essential for timely treatment and rational use of antibiotics. However, Pythium insidiosum is difficult to detect via conventional microbiological tests. The current gold standard is polymerase chain reaction, which is lacking in most hospitals since human pythiosis is rare in China. In this study, we used metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing and identified Pythium insidiosum in a 56-year-old Chinese male who was hospitalized due to severe edema in the right lower limb with scattered darkening indurations. The patient had a history of cirrhosis and occupational exposure to swamp water. Serological level of immune biomarkers indicated immunodeficiency, and Proteinase 3-Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody was positive. Surgical incision of the lesions revealed radiating and reticular cutaneous ulcers. Microbial infections were suspected but conventional tests failed to discover the etiology. Empirical use of penicillin, vancomycin, and ceftriaxone had no effect. As a result, the peripheral blood and tissue biopsies were sent for metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing, which reported Pythium insidiosum . This finding was corroborated by pathological staining, whole-genome sequencing, and internal transcribed spacer sequencing. Notably, antifungal treatment was ineffective, but the patient responded well to oral trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole, which may be due to the folp gene found in Pythium insidiosum genome. Our study prompts future studies to determine the optimal treatment of skin pythiosis.

    Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined as a complex heterogeneous disorder and characterized by stereotyped behavior and deficits in communication and social interactions. The emerging microbial knowledge has pointed to a potential link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and ASD. Evidence from animal and human studies showed that shifts in composition and activity of the gut microbiota may causally contribute to the etiopathogenesis of core symptoms in the ASD individuals with gastrointestinal tract disturbances and act on microbiota-gut-brain. In this review, we summarized the characterized gut bacterial composition of ASD and the involvement of gut microbiota and their metabolites in the onset and progression of ASD; the possible underlying mechanisms are also highlighted. Given this correlation, we also provide an overview of the microbial-based therapeutic interventions such as probiotics, antibiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation therapy, and dietary interventions and address their potential benefits on behavioral symptoms of ASD. The precise contribution of altering gut microbiome to treating core symptoms in the ASD needs to be further clarified. It seemed to open up promising avenues to develop microbial-based therapies in ASD.

    Abstract: Open chromatin regions are the genomic regions associated with basic cellular physiological activities, while chromatin accessibility is reported to affect gene expressions and functions. A basic computational problem is to efficiently estimate open chromatin regions, which could facilitate both genomic and epigenetic studies. Currently, ATAC-seq and cfDNA-seq (plasma cell-free DNA sequencing) are two popular strategies to detect OCRs. As cfDNA-seq can obtain more biomarkers in one round of sequencing, it is considered more effective and convenient. However, in processing cfDNA-seq data, due to the dynamically variable chromatin accessibility, it is quite difficult to obtain the training data with pure OCRs or non-OCRs, and leads to a noise problem for either feature-based approaches or learning-based approaches. In this paper, we propose a learning-based OCR estimation approach with a noise-tolerance design. The proposed approach, named OCRFinder, incorporates the ideas of ensemble learning framework and semi-supervised strategy to avoid potential overfitting of noisy labels, which are the false positives on OCRs and non-OCRs. Compared to different noise control strategies and state-of-the-art approaches, OCRFinder achieved higher accuracies and sensitivities in the experiments. In addition, OCRFinder also has an excellent performance in ATAC-seq or DNase-seq comparison experiments.

    Abstract: A high tumor mutation burden (TMB) is known to drive the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and is associated with favorable prognoses. However, because it is a one-dimensional numerical representation of non-synonymous genetic alterations, TMB suffers from clinical challenges due to its equal quantification. Since not all mutations elicit the same antitumor rejection, the effect on immunity of neoantigens encoded by different types or locations of somatic mutations may vary. In addition, other typical genomic features, including complex structural variants, are not captured by the conventional TMB metric. Given the diversity of cancer subtypes and the complexity of treatment regimens, this paper proposes that tumor mutations capable of causing various degrees of immunogenicity should be calculated separately. TMB should therefore, be segmented into more exact, higher dimensional feature vectors to exhaustively measure the foreignness of tumors. We systematically reviewed patients’ multifaceted efficacy based on a refined TMB metric, investigated the association between multidimensional mutations and integrative immunotherapy outcomes, and developed a convergent categorical decision-making framework, TMBserval (Statistical Explainable machine learning with Regression-based VALidation). TMBserval integrates a multiple-instance learning concept with statistics to create a statistically interpretable model that addresses the broad interdependencies between multidimensional mutation burdens and decision endpoints. TMBserval is a pan-cancer-oriented many-to-many nonlinear regression model with discrimination and calibration power. Simulations and experimental analyses using data from 137 actual patients both demonstrated that our method could discriminate between patient groups in a high-dimensional feature space, thereby rationally expanding the beneficiary population of immunotherapy.

    Abstract: Background: The association between abnormal invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) and the fat attenuation index (FAI) of lesion-specific peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) is unclear. Method: Data of patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and subsequent invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and FFR measurement within 1 week were retrospectively included. Lesion-specific FAI (FAI lesion ), lesion-free FAI (FAI normal ), epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and attenuation was collected, along with stenosis severity and plaque characteristics. Lesions with FFR & lt;0.8 were considered functionally significant. The association between FFR and each parameter was analyzed by logistic regression or receiver operating characteristic curve. Result: A total of 227 patients from seven centers were included. EAT volume or attenuation, traditional risk factors, and FAI normal (with vs. without ischemia: −82 ± 11 HU vs. −81 ± 11 HU, p = 0.65) were not significantly different in patients with or without abnormal FFR. In contrast, lesions causing functional ischemia presented more severe stenosis, greater plaque volume, and higher FAI lesion (with vs. without ischemia: −71 ± 8 HU vs. −76 ± 9 HU, p & lt; 0.01). Additionally, the CTA-assessed stenosis severity (OR 1.06, 95%CI 1.04–1.08, p & lt; 0.01) and FAI lesion (OR 1.08, 95%CI 1.04–1.12, p & lt; 0.01) were determined to be independent factors that could predict ischemia. The combination model of these two CTA parameters exhibited a diagnostic value similar to the invasive coronary angiography (ICA)-assessed stenosis severity (AUC: 0.820 vs. 0.839, p = 0.39). Conclusion: It was FAI lesion , not general EAT parameters, that was independently associated with abnormal FFR and the diagnostic performance of CTA-assessed stenosis severity for functional ischemia was significantly improved in combination with FAI lesion .

    Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate the durability of immune response after basic and booster immunization with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Methods Patients with CLD and complete basic or booster immunization with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were included in this study. Based on the vaccination situation, they were divided into the basic immunity group (Basic) and the booster immunity group (Booster), which were then subdivided into four groups according to the time interval from completion of basic immunization or booster immunization to serological specimen collection. The positive rates and antibody titers of novel coronavirus neutralizing antibody (nCoV NTAb) and novel coronavirus spike receptor-binding domain antibody (nCoV S-RBD) were analyzed. Results A total of 313 patients with CLD were enrolled in this study, including 201 in Basic and 112 in Booster. The positive rates of nCoV NTAb and nCoV S-RBD within 30 days of completing basic immunization were 80.4% and 84.8%, respectively, but decreased rapidly with the extension of vaccination time, and only 29% and 48.4% of patients with CLD remained positive for nCoV NTAb and nCoV S-RBD, respectively, after 120 days of completing basic immunization. Within 30 days of booster immunization, the positive rates of nCoV NTAb and nCoV S-RBD in patients with CLD rapidly increased from 29.0% and 48.4% at the end of basic immunization to 95.2% and 90.5%, and maintained a high level (defined as the positive rate & gt;50%) until 120 days when the positive rates of nCoV NTAb and nCoV S-RBD were still high at 79.5% and 87.2%, respectively. After basic immunization, the time for nCoV NTAb and nCoV S-RBD to turn negative was 120 and 169 days, respectively, and the negative time of nCoV NTAb and nCoV S-RBD was significantly prolonged to 266 days and 329 days, respectively. Conclusion It is safe and effective for patients with CLD to complete basic and booster immunization with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. After booster immunization, the immune response of patients with CLD was further improved and the durability of the SARS-CoV-2 antibody was significantly prolonged.
