    Abstract: Background: Salinity is one of the main influencing factors in the culture environment and is extremely important for the survival, growth, development and reproduction of aquatic animals. Methods: In this study, a comparative transcriptome analysis (maintained for 45 days in three different salinities, 30 psu (HC group), 18 psu (MC group) and 3 psu (LC group)) was performed by high-throughput sequencing of economically cultured Penaeus monodon . P. monodon gill tissues from each treatment were collected for RNA-seq analysis to identify potential genes and pathways in response to low salinity stress. Results: A total of 64,475 unigenes were annotated in this study. There were 1,140 upregulated genes and 1,531 downregulated genes observed in the LC vs. HC group and 1,000 upregulated genes and 1,062 downregulated genes observed in the MC vs. HC group. In the LC vs. HC group, 583 DEGs significantly mapped to 37 signaling pathways, such as the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway; in the MC vs. HC group, 444 DEGs significantly mapped to 28 signaling pathways, such as the MAPK signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway and calcium signaling pathway. These pathways were significantly associated mainly with signal transduction, immunity and metabolism. Conclusions: These results suggest that low salinity stress may affect regulatory mechanisms such as metabolism, immunity, and signal transduction in addition to osmolarity in P. monodon . The greater the difference in salinity, the more significant the difference in genes. This study provides some guidance for understanding the low-salt domestication culture of P. monodon .

    Abstract: Starvation is a common stress in fish that is caused by environmental changes, and refeeding after starvation is believed to cause compensatory growth. Here, we evaluated the impacts of starvation for 7 d, followed by refeeding for 7 d on growth, gut microbiome, biochemical indices, liver transcriptome, and immune response in golden pompanos ( Trachinotus ovatus ). Starvation induced hypoglycemia, reduced triglyceride concentration, and considerably affected the activities of glycolysis related enzymes, including glucokinase (GK), pyruvate kinase (PK), and fructokinase 6-phosphate (PFK). Additionally, starvation for 7 d increased the concentrations of oxidative stress indicators, including cortisol (COR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and catalase (CAT) and non-specific immunity parameters, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), and lysozyme (LYZ). parameters to normal levels. Moreover, starvation affected the diversity and composition of the intestinal microbiota of T. ovatus . At the phylum level, the dominant phyla were Proteobacteria, Spirochaetes, and Tenericutes, while the dominant genera were Brevinema , Haematospirillum , and Mycoplasma . Transcriptome analysis of liver tissues showed that the mRNA expression of GK , PK , and PFK , were altered by starvation, and the trends were consistent with the activity levels of the enzymes. A total of 2,287 DEGs were identified among the control, starvation, and refeeding groups. DEGs in starvation (ST7) vs. control (CK) groups were mainly involved in cell cycle, DNA replication, and mitosis, whereas those in the refeeding (RT7) vs. ST7 groups were associated with stimulus responses and carbohydrate metabolism. Overall, most starvation-induced changes in enzyme activity, intestinal microbiome, immune response, and liver transcriptome were gradually restored to normal after refeeding for 7 d. These data provide a theoretical reference for the farming of T. ovatus during periods of feed scarcity.

    Abstract: Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα) is a multifarious mediator of lymphoid tissue growth and antimicrobial defence mechanisms, and it acts as a pro-inflammatory regulator. The function of TNFα in parasite infection and the underlying mechanism through which nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates TNFα remain largely unclear in teleosts. In the present study, TNFα ( ToTNF α) from golden pompano ( Trachinotus ovatus ) was identified, and its sequence features and expression levels were determined. The genomic DNA sequence is composed of 1,130 bp, consists of four exons and three introns, and encodes 341 amino acid polypeptides. The putative protein sequence shares 34.7%–61.9% identity with fish TNFα and possesses a TNF family signature and two conserved cysteine residues. Moreover, the expressions of ToNF- κ B and ToTNF α are constitutively expressed in all examined tissues, with higher levels observed in the immune relevant tissues. Both ToNF- κ B and ToTNF α transcription was increased in the local infection sites (skin and gill) and system immune tissues (liver, spleen and head kidney) after Cryptocaryon irritans stimulation. In addition, to investigate whether ToNF-κB is a regulator of ToTNF α, promoter analysis was performed. The region from -970 to +79 bp is known as the core promoter by different truncated mutants of ToTNF α. Subsequently, the activity of the ToTNF α -p2 promoter was dramatically reduced after targeted mutation of the M6-binding site. Additionally, an electrophoretic mobile shift assay (EMSA) verified that ToNF-κB interacted with the M6-binding site in the ToTNF α promoter region to control the expression of ToTNF α. In conclusion, the present study provides the positive regulation of TNF α transcription by NF-κB and contributes to a better understanding of the transcriptional mechanism of TNF α in fish.

    Abstract: Objective: We investigated whether there were sex differences in adverse reactions to an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine among medical staff in China. Methods: From 24 February to 7 March 2021 an online cross-sectional survey was conducted with a self-administered COVID-19 vaccine questionnaire among medical staff in Taizhou, China. In total, 1397 interviewees (1,107 women and 290 men) participated in the survey. Results: In our study, 178 (16.1%) women and 23 (7.9%) men reported adverse reactions following their first vaccination, and 169 (15.3%) women and 35 (12.1%) men reported adverse reactions following their second vaccination. After adjusting for confounding factors, adverse reactions to other vaccines, worry about adverse reactions, knowledge of the inactivated vaccine being used in the hospital, taking the vaccine for one's family proactively and receiving an influenza vaccination were significantly related to adverse reactions to both injections in women. In contrast, in men, concerns about adverse reactions independently increased the risk of adverse reactions following either vaccination, and a history of adverse reactions to other vaccines also increased the risk of adverse reactions to both injections. Conclusions: Sex differences in the frequency of reported adverse reactions to an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and potential factors were demonstrated in a sample of medical staff.

    Abstract: LAG3 is the most promising immune checkpoint next to PD-1 and CTLA-4. High LAG3 and FGL1 expression boosts tumor growth by inhibiting the immune microenvironment. This review comprises four sections presenting the structure/expression, interaction, biological effects, and clinical application of LAG3/FGL1. D1 and D2 of LAG3 and FD of FGL1 are the LAG3-FGL1 interaction domains. LAG3 accumulates on the surface of lymphocytes in various tumors, but is also found in the cytoplasm in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. FGL1 is found in the cytoplasm in NSCLC cells and on the surface of breast cancer cells. The LAG3-FGL1 interaction mechanism remains unclear, and the intracellular signals require elucidation. LAG3/FGL1 activity is associated with immune cell infiltration, proliferation, and secretion. Cytokine production is enhanced when LAG3/FGL1 are co-expressed with PD-1. IMP321 and relatlimab are promising monoclonal antibodies targeting LAG3 in melanoma. The clinical use of anti-FGL1 antibodies has not been reported. Finally, high FGL1 and LAG3 expression induces EGFR-TKI and gefitinib resistance, and anti-PD-1 therapy resistance, respectively. We present a comprehensive overview of the role of LAG3/FGL1 in cancer, suggesting novel anti-tumor therapy strategies.

    Abstract: This study highlights aspects of the latest clinical research conducted on the relationship between immune checkpoints and tumor metastasis. The overview of each immune checkpoint is divided into the following three sections: 1) structure and expression; 2) immune mechanism related to tumor metastasis; and 3) clinical research related to tumor metastasis. This review expands on the immunological mechanisms of 17 immune checkpoints, including TIM-3, CD47, and OX-40L, that mediate tumor metastasis; evidence shows that most of these immune checkpoints are expressed on the surface of T cells, which mainly exert immunomodulatory effects. Additionally, we have summarized the roles of these immune checkpoints in the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic tumors, as these checkpoints are considered common predictors of metastasis in various cancers such as prostate cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and melanoma. Moreover, certain immune checkpoints can be used in synergy with PD-1 and CTLA-4, along with the implementation of combination therapies such as LIGHT-VTR and anti-PD-1 antibodies. Presently, most monoclonal antibodies generated against immune checkpoints are under investigation as part of ongoing preclinical or clinical trials conducted to evaluate their efficacy and safety to establish a better combination treatment strategy; however, no significant progress has been made regarding monoclonal antibody targeting of CD28, VISTA, or VTCN1. The application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in early stage tumors to prevent tumor metastasis warrants further evidence; the immune-related adverse events should be considered before combination therapy. This review aims to elucidate the mechanisms of immune checkpoint and the clinical progress on their use in metastatic tumors reported over the last 5 years, which may provide insights into the development of novel therapeutic strategies that will assist with the utilization of various immune checkpoint inhibitors.

    Abstract: Avian influenza viruses can be efficiently transmitted through mucous membranes, and conventional vaccines are not effective in protecting against mucosal infection by influenza viruses. To induce multiple immune responses in an organism, we constructed a recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum expressing the influenza virus antigen HA1 with the adjuvant dendritic cell-targeting peptide (DCpep). The recombinant L. plantarum strains NC8Δ-pWCF-HA1 and NC8Δ-pWCF-HA1-DCpep were used to immunize mice via oral administration, and the humoral, cellular and mucosal immune responses were evaluated. In addition, the serum levels of specific antibodies and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) levels were also measured. Our results showed that recombinant L. plantarum activated dendritic cells in Peyer’s patches (PPs), increased the numbers of CD4 + IFN-γ + and CD8 + IFN-γ + cells in the spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), and affected the ability of CD4 + and CD8 + cells to proliferate in the spleen and MLNs. Additionally, recombinant L. plantarum increased the number of B220 + IgA + cells in PPs and the level of IgA in the lungs and different intestinal segments. In addition, specific IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a antibodies were induced at high levels in the mice serum, specific IgA antibodies were induced at high levels in the mice feces, and HI potency was significantly increased. Thus, the recombinant L. plantarum strains NC8Δ-pWCF-HA1 and NC8Δ-pWCF-HA1-DCpep have potential as vaccine candidates for avian influenza virus.
