Methods Transcriptomics and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze whether Vibrio vulnificus infection caused platelet activation in mice. Then, flow cytometry was used to identify whether VVH was the main stimulator of platelet activation. Naturally expressed VVH toxin was purified and prepared. The effects of extracellular and intracellular Ca²⁺ signal inhibitors on VVH activated platelets were evaluated by flow cytometry and Western blotting. The immune activation effect of VVH in the early stage of Vibrio vulnificus infection was analyzed in vivo. Results VVH was the main stimulator of platelet activation in Vibrio vulnificus culture supernatant. Natural VVH can induce the increase of P-selectin (CD62P) on platelet surface, the formation of platelet-neutrophil complex (PNC), and the release of platelet microvesicles. The activation mechanism may be related to the VVH pore-dependent Ca²⁺-calmodulin (CaM) -myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) signaling pathway, which led to the release of platelet alpha particles and cascade activation of platelets. In a mouse model of ALD infected by Vibrio vulnificus gavage, VVH was strongly associated with platelet activation.

Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from the peripheral blood of patients who had recovered from novel coronavirus infection. Total RNA was extracted from these PBMCs and reverse transcribed into cDNA, which was used as a template for constructing a human anti-SARS-CoV-2 scFv library. Phage display technology was used to screen for scFv antibodies specific to the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. Full-length IgG antibodies were synthesized through sequence analysis and human IgG expression, and their binding capacity and neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 were evaluated. Results A human-derived scFv antibody library against SARS-CoV-2 with a capacity of 1.56×10⁷ CFU was successfully constructed. Two specific scFv antibodies were screened from this library and expressed as full-length IgG antibodies (IgG-A10 and IgG-G6). IgG-A10 exhibited strong neutralizing activity against both the original SARS-CoV-2 strain (WT) and the XBB subvariant of the Omicron variant. However, the neutralizing activity of this antibody against the JN.1 sub lineage of the Omicron BA.2.86 variant was moderate.

In order to further explore the relationship between BC200 and BACE1, HT22 cells were divided into four groups: OGD/R group, OGD/R+si-BC200 group, OGD/R+si-BC200+NC group and OGD/R+si-BC200+ BACE1 group. Twenty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to the following four groups: control group, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group, MCAO+si-BC200 group and MCAO+si-BC200+BACE1 group. The mRNA expression levels of BC200 and BACE1 in cells were measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The expressions of c-caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2), Bcl2 associated X protein(BAX) and BACE1 were detected by western blot, and the apoptotic cells were detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) test. Results Compared with the control group, the activity of HT22 cells in OGD/R group decreased significantly, and the percentage of apoptotic cells increased significantly. Compared with OGD/R+si-NC group, the activity of HT22 cells in OGD/R+si-BC200 group increased significantly, and the percentage of apoptotic cells decreased significantly. Compared with the control group, the expression of BACE1 protein in HT22 cells in OGD/R group was significantly enhanced. Compared with OGD/R+si-NC group, the expression of BACE1 protein in HT22 cells in OGD/R+si-BC200 group decreased significantly. It was observed that after OGD/R treatment, the ubiquitination level of BACE1 decreased significantly and the expression of BACE1 protein increased significantly. After transfection with si-BC200, the ubiquitination level of BACE1 protein increased significantly, while the expression of BACE1 protein decreased significantly. Compared with OGD/R+si-BC200+NC group, the percentage of apoptotic cells, the expression of c-caspase-3 and Bax protein in HT22 cells in OGD/R+si-BC200+BACE1 group increased significantly, and the expression of Bcl2 protein decreased significantly. Compared with the control group, the number of cerebral infarction areas and TUNEL positive cells in MCAO group increased significantly, and the survival number of neurons decreased significantly.

ELISA was conducted to quantify the serum levels of HMGB1, interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-23, IL-17, and transforming growth factor β(TGF-β). The mRNA levels of retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γt(RORγt) and forehead box P3(FOXP3) were detected by real-time PCR.

Results The proportion of Th17 cells and the expression levels of HMGB1, IL-6, IL-23, IL-17 and the level of RORγt mRNA in the peripheral blood of ITP patients were higher than those in healthy controls. However, the Treg cell proportion and TGF-β level were lower in ITP patients than those in healthy controls. In patients with ITP, the proportion of mDC and the level of FOXP3 mRNA did not show significant changes.

Methods On the basis of clinical OS samples and OS cell lines, the expression differences of BHLHE40 between OS and adjacent tissues, as well as those between OS cells and normal osteoblast cell lines, were analyzed. BHLHE40 knockdown OS cells were obtained through shRNA transfection. The effects of BHLHE40 on OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were examined using CCK-8, EdU staining, wound healing, and Transwell assays. The involvement of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was assessed by Western blotting. Further validation was conducted in vivo experiments. Results The expression of BHLHE40 was significantly higher in OS tissues compared to adjacent tissues. In OS cell lines, BHLHE40 protein expression levels were increased compared to normal osteoblasts, and the cell line with the highest BHLHE40 expression was selected for subsequent knockdown experiments. Compared with the knockdown control group, the BHLHE40 knockdown group exhibited reduced cell viability, EdU-positive cell count, colony number, cell migration, and invasion abilities, along with downregulation of phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K)/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT protein expression. The aforementioned functions of BHLHE40 were also reproduced in in vivo experiments.
