It reveals the sophisticated strategies viruses have evolved to utilize a variety of host molecules (such as fibronectin, LamR, Nectin, HSP proteins, VDAC2/RACK1, etc.) as receptors. Concurrently, it has been found that different viruses exhibit convergence in their entry mechanisms, such as the common use of heparan sulfate as an initial attachment factor or reliance on clathrin-mediated endocytosis(CME)for internalization.

However, imbalances in ROS and RNS cause oxidative stress. Given that warmer temperature accelerates the aging-dependent weakening of immunity, we hypothesized that temperature and aging interactively modify the production of ROS/RNS like nitric oxide, and their effects. We tested this in <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> by rearing mosquitoes at 27C, 30C and 32C, and assessing phenotypes at 1, 5, 10 and 15 days of adulthood. Using NADPH diaphorase staining, we show that, in mosquitoes infected with bacteria, warmer temperature increases the activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS; produces nitric oxide), while aging decreases NOS activity. Importantly, during late aging, warmer temperature reverses the aging-dependent decline in NOS activity. By mining an RNAseq dataset, we uncovered that warmer temperature and aging interact to increase the expression of both <em>NOS</em> and <em>JNK</em>, which are involved in immunity and oxidative stress. Additionally, warmer temperature and aging interact to downregulate expression of genes encoding antimicrobial effectors and superoxide detoxification enzymes, but upregulate expression of genes involved in hydrogen peroxide detoxification. Finally, manipulating nitric oxide production modifies the expression of immune genes in a temperature and age dependent manner. These findings suggest that heightened oxidative stress caused by warmer temperature accelerates senescence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11228,"journal":{"name":"Developmental and comparative immunology","volume":"176 ","pages":"Article 105556"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146029004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
