Avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus Beaudette strain NSP9 interacts with STAT1 and inhibits its phosphorylation to facilitate viral replication
In this study, we uncovered a function of NSP9 in immune regulation. First, the host proteins that interacted with NSP9 were screened. The immune-related protein signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) was identified and the interaction between NSP9 and STAT1 was further confirmed. Furthermore, IBV replication was inhibited in STAT1-overexpressing cells but inversely affected in STAT1 knock-down cells. Importantly, NSP9 inhibited STAT1 phosphorylation. Finally, the expression of JAK/STAT pathway downstream genes IRF7 and ISG20 was significantly decreased in NSP9-overexpressing cells. These results showed...

Integration of lipidomics and metabolomics reveals plasma and urinary profiles associated with pediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections and its severity
In this study, lipidomics and metabolomics analyses were conducted using UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap XL mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry on plasma (n = 65) and urine (n = 65) samples. MS-DIAL software, in combination with LipidBlast and Fiehn BinBase DB, identified 163 lipids and 104 metabolites in plasma samples, as well as 208 metabolites in urine samples. Perturbed lipid species (adjusted p < 0.05) were observed, including lysophosphatidylethanolamines, phosphatidylinositols, phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanol amines, and triglycerides. Additionally, differential metabolites ...

Potential systemic effects of acquired CFTR dysfunction in COPD
Respir Med. 2023 Dec 15:107499. doi: 10.1016/j.rmed.2023.107499. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow limitation, respiratory symptoms, inflammation of the airways, and systemic manifestations of the disease. Genetic susceptibility and environmental factors are important in the development of the disease, particularly exposure to cigarette smoke which is the most notable risk factor. Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene are the cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), which shares several pathophysiological pulmonary feature...

Adjuvant effects of novel water/oil emulsion formulations on immune responses against infectious bronchitis (IB) vaccine in mice
Biologicals. 2023 Dec 14;85:101736. doi: 10.1016/j.biologicals.2023.101736. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVaccines have long made use of adjuvants to boost the immune response of the body and reduce the amount of vaccine needed as well as the expense of producing the vaccine. Many vaccine adjuvants are in development, but their application in veterinary vaccinations is restricted due to their lack of efficacy or undesirable side effects. For this reason, it is essential to develop novel adjuvants. To address the issue that the currently available infectious bronchitis (IB) vaccine often fails to produce sufficient immune r...
