    Abstract: Vaccination is an effective method to control the spread of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), which is a major cause of economic losses to the swine industry. Although serological detection assays are commonly used to assess immune status, current methods for monitoring of antibodies (Abs) are time-consuming, expensive, and require cell culture and virus manipulation. To address these problems, the E2 protein of CSFV was expressed in transgenic rice seeds as a labeled antigen for the development of an immunochromatographic test strip (ICTS) for rapid, precise, and cost-effective detection of Abs. The ICTS has a reasonable sensitivity of 1:128,000 for detection of serum Abs against CSFV and no cross-reactivity with Abs of other porcine viruses. The similarity of the results between the proposed ICTS and a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was 94.1% (128/136) for detection of serum Abs from immunized animals and 92.3% (72/78) for detection of maternally derived Abs. The proposed assay was successfully used to monitor Abs against E2 of both pigs and rabbits immunized with a live attenuated vaccine or an E2 subunit vaccine. The results confirmed that the ICTS can be applied to detect Ab levels in animals with different immunological backgrounds. The ICTS based on plant-derived E2 is a relatively inexpensive, rapid, and accurate assay for detection of Abs against CSFV and avoids the risk of contamination by animal products. IMPORTANCE The E2 protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) was expressed in transgenic rice endosperms as a diagnostic antigen for use with a rapid colloidal gold assay for the detection of antibodies (Abs) against CSFV. This improved test was used to monitor Abs against the E2 protein in both pigs and rabbits immunized with a live attenuated vaccine or E2 subunit vaccine. The assay successfully detected Ab levels in serum samples from piglets with different immunological backgrounds. In contrast to current E2 protein-based diagnostic methods using Escherichia coli or insect cells as expression systems, plant-derived E2 avoids the limitations of low immunogenicity of eukaryotic expression systems and potential contamination of fetal bovine serum with bovine viral diarrhea virus in cell culture.

    Abstract: Lipid metabolism disorders are a prominent characteristic in the pathological development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Danshen zexie decoction (DZD) is a Chinese herbal medicine that is based on zexie decoction and has an effect of regulating lipid mechanism. However, the anti-NAFLD effect and mechanism of DZD remain unclear. In this study, we observed the therapeutic effect of DZD on NAFLD rats and investigated its possible mechanisms. Sixty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to six groups: control group, model group, Yishanfu (polyene phosphatidylcholine) group, and low, medium and high-dose DZD groups. High-fat diet (HFD) was fed to the rats to establish an NAFLD model, and each treatment group was given corresponding drugs at the same time for eight consecutive weeks. The results revealed that the obvious lipid metabolism disorder and liver injury induced by HFD were alleviated by treatment with DZD, which was verified by decreased serum TC, TG, ALT, AST, liver TC, TG, and FFA, as well as the alleviation of hepatic steatosis. The production of ROS in rats was reduced after treatment with DZD. The SOD activity and GSH content were increased with DZD treatment, while the MDA level was decreased. The administration of DZD could decrease serum IL-1β and IL-18 contents. Moreover, DZD upregulated the expressions of Nrf2, HO-1, GCLC, and GCLM, while it suppressed the expressions of NLRP3, caspase-1, GSDMD, and GSDMD-N. In conclusion, the data showed that DZD can reduce lipid accumulation, alleviate oxidative stress and inflammation, and inhibit pyroptosis in NAFLD rats, which might be ascribed to suppression of the ROS/NLRP3/IL-1β signaling pathway by activation of Nrf2. Overall, these results indicated that DZD is expected to be a therapeutic drug for NAFLD.

    Abstract: 2628 Background: Blockade of programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) by antibodies such as pembrolizumab has revolutionized treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a significant number of patients achieve only marginal benefit. The predictive abilities of the frequently used biomarkers, including programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-L1) and tumor mutation burden (TMB), are yet limited, highlighting the urgent need for more reliable biomarkers. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that controls the transcription of its targets including PD-L1. Whether AhR could be used as a predictive biomarker for response to PD-1 blockade immunotherapy in NSCLC warrants further investigation. Methods: We collected formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slides from 104 NSCLC patients before PD-1 blockade immunotherapy treatment, who had sufficient follow-up data for progression-free survival (PFS), and detected the expression of nuclear localized AhR (AhR N ) and membrane localized PD-L1 (PD-L1 M ) with multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC). H-score was applied to characterize the specific value with the following formula [1 × (% cells intensity =1) + 2 × (% cells intensity = 2) + 3 × (% cells intensity = 3)]. Survival curve for each group was estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test. The diagnostic performance was assessed with the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), which was calculated based on the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. All statistical tests were two-sided and P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Both AhR N and PD-L1 M could distinguish responders from non-responders, and patients with higher H-score had longer PFS than those with lower H score. The AUC of AhR N was 0.804 (95 % CI: 0.721-0.881), higher than that of PD-L1 M (0.714; 95 % CI: 0.618-0.811) and AhR N +PD-L1 M (0.743; 95 % CI: 0.649-0.837), indicating AhR N might show better predictive capacity to the efficacy of PD-1 blockade immunotherapy than PD-L1 M . Besides, AhR N exhibited the most significant accuracy in prognosis prediction, since the hazard ratio (HR) of AhR N was 0.1529 (95 % CI: 0.07704-0.3033, P 〈 0.0001), significantly higher than that of PD-L1 M [HR:0.283 (95 % CI: 0.1525-0.525, P 〈 0.0001)] and AhR N +PD-L1 M [HR: 0.2456 (95 % CI: 0.1309-0.4607, P 〈 0.0001)]. Yet, among the 54 smokers, AhR N +PD-L1 M was the best classifier for the efficacy of immunotherapy, of which the AUC was 0.8937 (95 % CI: 0.816-0.971) and HR was infinitely approaching 0 ( P 〈 0.0001). Conclusions: AhR might be a reliable predictive biomarker for PD-1 blockade immunotherapy in NSCLCs.

    Abstract: Therapeutic options for ulcerative colitis (UC) have increased since the introduction of biologics a few decades ago. Due to the wide range of biologics available, physicians have difficulty in selecting biologics and do not know how to balance the best drug between clinical efficacy and safety. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of biologics in treating ulcerative colitis. Methods In this study, eight electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase, Sinomed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP Information, and WanFang Data) were searched to collect eligible studies without language restrictions. Retrieved 1 June 2023, from inception. All articles included in the mesh analysis are randomised controlled trials (RCTs). The inclusion of drugs for each outcome was ranked using a curved surface under cumulative ranking (SUCRA). Higher SUCRA scores were associated with better outcomes, whereas lower SUCRA scores were associated with better safety. This study has registered with PROSPERO, CRD42023389483. Results Induction Therapy: Among the biologic therapies evaluated for induction therapy, vedolizumab demonstrated the highest efficacy in achieving clinical remission (OR vs daclizumab, 9.09; 95% CI, 1.01–81.61; SUCRA 94.1) and clinical response. Guselkumab showed the lowest risk of recurrence of UC (SUCRA 94.9%), adverse events resulting in treatment discontinuation (SUCRA 94.8%), and serious infections (SUCRA 78.0%). Maintenance Therapy: For maintenance therapy, vedolizumab ranked highest in maintaining clinical remission (OR vs mesalazine 4.36; 95% CI, 1.65–11.49; SUCRA 89.7) and endoscopic improvement (SUCRA 92.6). Infliximab demonstrated the highest efficacy in endoscopic improvement (SUCRA 92.6%). Ustekinumab had the lowest risk of infections (SUCRA 92.9%), serious adverse events (SUCRA 91.3%), and serious infections (SUCRA 67.6%). Conclusion Our network meta-analysis suggests that vedolizumab is the most effective biologic therapy for inducing and maintaining clinical remission in UC patients. Guselkumab shows promise in reducing the risk of recurrence and adverse events during induction therapy. Infliximab is effective in improving endoscopic outcomes during maintenance therapy. Ustekinumab appears to have a favorable safety profile. These findings provide valuable insights for clinicians in selecting the most appropriate biologic therapy for UC patients.
