We imaged scales via confocal microscopy and demonstrated multiple lymphocyte types in scales/epidermis, quantifying them flow cytometrically. We profiled gene expression of scale, thymic, and kidney-marrow (analogous to mammalian bone marrow) lymphocytes from the same animals, revealing B- and T-lineage signatures. Single-cell quantitative real-time PCR and RNA sequencing show not only canonical B and T cells but also novel lymphocyte populations not described previously. To validate longitudinal scale biopsies, we serially sampled scales from fish treated with dexamethasone, demonstrating epidermal lymphocyte responses.

Two ATF4 homologs (ATF4-α and ATF4-β) with a difference of one β sheet (7 amino acids) were identified in crayfish. Further studies showed that ATF4-β was activated and significantly translocated into the nucleus after envelope virus white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection. During WSSV infection, the host may recognize WSSV in some way (such as HMGBa recognizing WSSV by interacting with WSSV/VP28) and transmits the signal to cell, and then HMGBa, HSP70, and ATF4-β interact with each other in the cytoplasm and promote nuclear translocation of ATF4-β. ATF4-β entered the nucleus to initiate the transcription of ATF4 and ALFs. In addition, ALF1 could bind to VP28 to inhibit virus assembly in the nucleus and reinfection.

Its upregulation is part of the host's defense mechanism against viruses, contributing to the antiviral state of cells. However, altered ISG15 expression can also lead to immune dysregulation and pathological outcomes, particularly during persistent viral infections. Understanding the balance of ISG15 in promoting antiviral immunity while avoiding immune-mediated pathology is essential for developing targeted therapeutic interventions against viral diseases. In this article, using Usp18-deficient, USP18 enzymatic-inactive and Isg15-deficient mouse models, we report that a lack of USP18 enzymatic function during persistent viral infection leads to severe immune pathology characterized by hematological disruptions described by reductions in platelets, total WBCs, and lymphocyte counts; pulmonary cytokine amplification; lung vascular leakage; and death. The lack of Usp18 in myeloid cells mimicked the pathological manifestations observed in Usp18-/- mice and required Isg15. Mechanistically, interrupting the enzymes that conjugate/deconjugate ISG15, using Uba7-/- or Usp18C61A mice, respectively, led to accumulation of ISG15 that was accompanied by inflammatory neutrophil accumulation, lung pathology, and death similar to that observed in Usp18-deficient mice. Moreover, myeloid cell depletion reversed pathological manifestations, morbidity, and mortality in Usp18C61A mice.

NF erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) has been shown to be a master regulator of the antioxidant response and various inflammatory cytokines. To test the role of Nrf2 during viral-bacterial superinfection, we used a mouse model of influenza-Staphylococcus aureus superinfection with wild-type (WT) or Nrf2-deficient (Nrf2-/-) mice. Loss of Nrf2 reduced influenza burden and increased S. aureus burden during superinfection. Additionally, Nrf2-/- mice had increased abundance of conventional type 1 dendritic cells (DCs). We then tested the interaction between DCs and T cells using an in vitro model of bone marrow-derived DCs with OVA and OT-II T cells. In this system, Nrf2-/- DCs promoted a Th2/regulatory T cell response as opposed to a Th1/Th17 response by WT DCs. This was recapitulated in vivo with superinfected Nrf2-/- mice having increased regulatory T cell populations. We also observed an increased median survival time of Nrf2-/- superinfected mice, due at least in part to increased IL-10 signaling, as anti-IL-10R Ab treatment reduced median survival time to levels seen in WT mice. Overall, these data suggest that loss of Nrf2 promotes differential T cell skewing mediated by DCs that promote a regulatory phenotype, increasing superinfection survival time, despite increased bacterial burden.</p>","PeriodicalId":16045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142558052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
