Article Abstract
Two short interfering RNAs (siRNA-RdRp1286, siRNA-RdRp1441) and one short interfering RNA (siRNA-OCP117), targeted to the RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene and outer capsid protein (OCP) gene of Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) respectively, were chemically synthesized and transfected into the CIK cells by lipofectamine 2000. 6 hours after transfection, the transfected CIK cells were challenged with GCRV. The culture media were collected at 48h post challenge and the virus was titrated in microculture system to evaluate the inhibition effect on GCRV replication mediated by siRNAs. Referring to the mRNA level of housekeeping gene beta-actin, RT-PCR was applied to detect the level of GCRV mRNA in transfected and challenged CIK cells. The results showed that the viral titer (lgTCID50/0. 1mL) in siRNA-RdRp1286, siRNA-RdRp1441 and siRNA-OCP117 transfected CIK cells were 4.41 +/- 0.16, 3.83 +/- 0.44 and 1.94 +/- 0.42 respectively, which were significantly lower than that in virus infection positive control (7.92 +/- 0.52) (P < 0.01). No significant change in viral titer was observed in the group transfected with siRNA negative control after challenged with GCRV (7.50 +/- 0.17, P > 0.05). Compared with the mRNA transcriptional level of beta-actin gene in virus infection positive control, the mRNA levels of GCRV in siRNA-RdRpl 286, siRNA-RdRp1 441 and siRNA-OCP117 transfected CIK cells were reduced significantly and the inhibition rate reached to (82.08 +/- 2.15)%, (89.19 +/- 1.14).% and (92.62 +/- 0.17)%, respectively. The mRNA level of GCRV in the siRNA negative control group had no noticeable change (P > 0 05).

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (Hnf4α), a conserved nuclear receptor central to vertebrate liver development and metabolic regulation, emerges here as a pivotal immune regulator in teleosts against complex infectious threats. While its metabolic roles are well-established, Hnf4α's function in bacterial infection, viral infection, and bacterial-viral coinfection-major challenges in global aquaculture-remained uncharacterized. This study reveals that teleost Hnf4α acts as a dual-functional immune checkpoint, essential for combating Aeromonas salmonicida, grass carp reovirus (GCRV), and their coinfection.

Tumors frequently evade immune destruction by impairing cytotoxic CD8 T-cell responses, highlighting the need for strategies that restore T-cell functionality. Here, we identify SLAMF7 (CD319) as a key enhancer of human CD8 T-cell responses against tumors. SLAMF7 expression is induced by pro-inflammatory signals such as IL-12 and CD28 co-stimulation.

Although checkpoint immunotherapy has primarily focused on CD8⁺ T cells, emerging evidence highlights an important role for cytotoxic CD4⁺ T cells in mediating therapeutic responses. However, research on the functional properties of cytotoxic CD4⁺ T cells in the context of immunotherapy is still at an early stage and remains insufficiently defined. Utilizing single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets obtained from metastatic melanoma patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1 and/or CTLA-4, we performed transcriptomic profiling of conventional CD4⁺ T cells, excluding proliferative and regulatory (FOXP3⁺) subsets, and compared responders and non-responders as distinct groups.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with only modest improvements in survival despite advances in conventional therapies. Cell-based immunotherapy, which utilizes ex vivo expanded or genetically modified immune cells, has emerged as a promising therapeutic alternative. Approaches such as natural killer (NK) cells, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells have shown encouraging potential in preclinical and early clinical studies.

A previous study in our laboratory revealed that microRNA-33 (miR-33) regulated autophagy initiation and inflammatory response by targeting Atg5; furthermore, in this study, chloroquine (CQ), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the miR-33 inhibitor were transfected into Ctenopharyngodon idella kidney (CIK) cells to explore whether miR-33 regulated late-stage autophagy and inflammatory response induced by LPS. The results showed that CQ inhibited the fusion of autophagosome and lysosome and significantly increased the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (p < 0.05).
