A novel toll-like receptor from Crassostrea gigas is involved in innate immune response to Vibrio alginolyticus

Honglin Chen et al.

Summary: The study identified a novel TLR CgToll-3 in Crassostrea gigas, which plays a crucial role in the innate immune response against bacteria such as Vibrio. CgToll-3 is highly conserved, can interact with other molecules, and activate NF-kappa B signaling pathway.

A novel molluscan TLR molecule engaged in inflammatory response through MyD88 adapter recruitment

Pengzhi Qi et al.

Summary: This study identified a novel TLR isoform called McTLRlike1 in the mollusk Mytilus coruscus. McTLR-like1 was highly expressed in immune-related tissues and its levels increased when challenged with V. alginolyticus. It was found that McTLR-like1 activated NF-kappa B and influenced the expression and phosphorylation of its subunit P65. Silencing McTLR-like1 led to downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased resistance to V. alginolyticus challenge. McTLR-like1 also showed affinity with McMyD88a. These findings contribute to our understanding of TLR signaling in mollusks and provide insights into TLR evolution.

AIF-1 and RNASET2 are involved in the inflammatory response in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis following Vibrio infection

M. G. Parisi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the immunological parameters of Mediterranean mussels in response to Vibrio splendidus infection. The results showed that TLR4 was activated before bacterial infection and recruited the MyD88 adapter. Challenging with Gram-negative bacteria caused a massive migration of AIF-1(+) hemocytes, and the ribonuclease RNASET2 may play a key role in this recruitment. This research contributes to a better understanding of the complex molecular defense mechanisms in bivalve molluscs and can guide the development of immunological response assessment methods in aquaculture.

Of Flies and Men-The Discovery of TLRs

Hauke Johannes Weiss et al.

Summary: The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded in 2011 to three immunologists – Bruce A. Beutler, Jules A. Hoffmann, and Ralph M. Steinman. Their research in innate and adaptive immunity significantly advanced the understanding of the immune system. Hoffmann's discovery of the toll gene and Beutler's characterization of the Toll-like gene played crucial roles in the field of innate immune sensing and its implications in infections.

Molecular characterization and expression analysis of Tf_TLR4 and Tf_TRIL in yellowcatfish Tachysurus fulvidraco responding to Edwardsiella ictaluri challenge

Kaiwei Chen et al.

Summary: The study identified and characterized TLR4 and TRIL from Yellow catfish, showing their potential roles in defense against bacterial invasion. Both genes were highly expressed in head kidney and brain, with up-regulated expression in intestine and immune-related tissues after challenge, indicating their involvement in the host defense mechanism.

Innate Immune Sensing of Viruses and Its Consequences for the Central Nervous System

Hina Singh et al.

Summary: Viral infections are a global public health concern and the innate immune system, specifically pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), play a crucial role in sensing viral components. TLR and RLR signaling pathways lead to the production of type I interferons and pro-inflammatory cytokines, while NLR signaling pathway results in the production of interleukin-1 family proteins.

Identification of Vibrio alginolyticus as a causative pathogen associated with mass summer mortality of the Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in China

Ben Yang et al.

Summary: This study identified Vibrio alginolyticus as a causative pathogen associated with mass summer mortality of Pacific oysters cultured in Shandong, China, highlighting the potential impact of high temperature on its growth and pathogenicity. Detection of important virulence genes further supported the strong pathogenicity of V. alginolyticus. These findings suggest the importance of disease surveillance and genetic breeding program to develop oyster strains with high disease resistance.

Holo-lactoferrin: the link between ferroptosis and radiotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer

Zheng Zhang et al.

Summary: The study showed that iron-saturated Lactoferrin (Holo-Lf) can induce ferroptosis in triple-negative breast cancer cells and enhance their sensitivity to radiotherapy. Conversely, low iron-saturated Lactoferrin (Apo-Lf) may inhibit this cell death process. Non-triple-negative breast cancer cells may have resistance to Holo-Lf-induced ferroptosis due to higher redox balance capacity.
