Article Abstract
Macrophages represent one of the primary targets of HIV-1 infection. Changes in gene expression in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages following virus exposure were assessed using oligonucleotide arrays. Over a third of the 100 most modulated genes belonged to the interferon system. Upregulated interferon-stimulated genes included those essential for the innate immune response and also those involved in interferon and virus signal transduction from the cell surface. The promoter regions of a cluster of highly upregulated interferon-stimulated genes were analyzed for common regulatory elements. The nuclear factor in activated T cells (NFAT) and members of the interferon family of transcription factors appeared to be responsible for the upregulation of this set of interferon-stimulated genes following HIV-1 exposure.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) exhibits a narrow species tropism, causing robust infections only in humans and experimentally inoculated chimpanzees. While many host factors and restriction factors are known, many more likely remain unknown, which has limited the development of mouse or other small animal models for HCV. One putative restriction factor, the black flying fox orthologue of receptor transporter protein 4 (RTP4), was previously shown to potently inhibit viral genome replication of several ER-replicating RNA viruses.

The innate immune system serves as the first line of defense against viral infections. Type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling, in particular, plays a crucial role in mediating antiviral immunity. Here, we identify Betrixaban (BT), a novel small-molecule compound that activates innate immune responses, leading to broad-spectrum antiviral effects.

Previous work showed that Type III Interferon (IFN-λ) stimulates localized pockets of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) in the adult mouse intestinal epithelium at homeostasis that provide preemptive protection from viral pathogens. Here, we demonstrate that a major source of homeostatic IFN-λ production in the intestine is a population of epithelium-associated plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC).

Innate immune signaling pathways are hyperactivated in the central nervous system (CNS) of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), as well as in preclinical models with diverse causative backgrounds including TDP-43, SOD1, and C9orf72 mutations. This raises an important question of whether these pathways are key pathogenic features of the disease, and whether therapeutic amelioration could be beneficial. Here, we systematically profile Type-I interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene (ISG) expression signatures using a non-biased approach in CNS tissue from a cohort of 36 individuals with ALS, including sporadic ALS (sALS; n=18), genetic ALS caused by (i) a C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion (C9-ALS; n=11), and (ii) a SOD1 mutation (SOD1-ALS; n=5), alongside age- and sex-matched individuals who died of a non-neurological cause (n=12).

Background & Aims: The suckling-to-weaning dietary transition is a key step in intestinal development. The aim of our study was to identify the transcriptome changes induced in each cell type of the intestinal epithelium at the onset of solid food ingestion.
Methods: We compared the single-cell transcriptome of epithelial cells isolated from the caecum of age-matched littermate suckling male rabbits ingesting or not solid food.
