Jian Hu et al.

Summary: Granulocytes and plasmatocytes in insects play distinct roles in immune reactions, as shown by the different behaviors and characteristics exhibited in spreading, phagocytosis, and encapsulation. The two cell types may express different proteins to carry out their functions effectively. The study identified potential transmembrane genes that could serve as molecular markers to differentiate between granulocytes and plasmatocytes, contributing to a better understanding of their immune functions.

Regulation of antimicrobial peptides by juvenile hormone and its receptor, Methoprene-tolerant, in the mosquito Aedes aegypti

Meng-Meng Chang et al.

Summary: The study reveals the negative impact of juvenile hormone on the expression of immunity-related genes in female mosquitoes. It further demonstrates the important role of juvenile hormone in regulating mosquito immune responses. The findings suggest that juvenile hormone suppresses antimicrobial peptide gene expression through its receptor Met, while PGRP-LC activates this gene, indicating dual regulation by both the juvenile hormone and IMD signaling pathways.

Cloning and characterization of tyrosine decarboxylase (TDC) from Litopenaeus vannamei, and its roles in biogenic amines synthesis, immune regulation, and resistance to Vibrio alginolyticus by RNA interference

Hsin-Wei Kuo et al.

Summary: In Litopenaeus vannamei, the cloned LvTDC gene is responsible for the synthesis of octopamine, regulating physiological and immune responses. Knockdown of LvTDC resulted in significant decreases in immune function and physiological parameters, indicating the crucial role of LvTDC in maintaining homeostasis in shrimp.LvTDC knockdown shrimp also showed reduced survival rates in a Vibrio alginolyticus challenge test compared to control groups.

Glucosinolate induces transcriptomic and metabolic reprogramming in Helicoverpa armigera

Shounak Jagdale et al.

Summary: The study reveals that glucosinolates have a significant negative impact on Helicoverpa armigera, disrupting various biological processes and inducing oxidative stress. The insects may utilize myrosinase-like enzymes to breakdown sinigrin and activate pathways for detoxification and overcoming the deleterious effects of sinigrin. These findings suggest a complex molecular response in insects to glucosinolate intake.

A possible role of tachykinin-related peptide on an immune system activity of mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor L.

A. Urbanski et al.

Summary: Tachykinin-related peptides have been shown to influence the insect immune system, particularly cellular responses. Injection of Tenmo-TRP-7 increases circulating haemocytes and affects their phagocytosis and adhesion ability. The insect nervous system may play a role in pathogen recognition and immune response regulation, similar to vertebrates.

Signaling cross-talk during development: Context-specific networking of Notch, NF-KB and JNK signaling pathways in Drosophila

Abhinava K. Mishra et al.

Summary: Multicellular organisms rely on core signaling pathways to regulate cell fate choices, which integrate to form complex networks for distinct developmental outcomes. Notch pathway, a conserved mechanism, interacts with other pathways to produce context-dependent outputs, and understanding its crosstalk with JNK and NF-KB pathways is crucial for regulating various developmental events.

Nicole Rachinger et al.

Summary: This study compared the detection of genes by three transcriptome analysis methods: cDNA array, quantitative RT-PCR, and RNA-seq, revealing differences in gene expression profiles. Results showed that RNA secondary structure and sample preparation can impact RNA-seq results. These findings have significant implications for gene expression analysis and should be taken into consideration when dealing with transcriptome data.

Effect of Short-Term Desiccation, Recovery Time, and CAPA-PVK Neuropeptide on the Immune System of the Burying Beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides

Arkadiusz Urbanski et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that short-term desiccation can decrease the phagocytic activity of burying beetle haemocytes and affect their adhesive ability. On the flip side, there is a significant increase in phenoloxidase activity and proPO expression levels, which may indicate sealing of the cuticula and prevention of water loss by melanin deposition.
