Article Abstract
RIG1 and MDA5 have emerged as important intracellular innate pattern recognition receptors that recognize viral RNA and mediate cellular signals controlling Type I interferon (IFN-I) response. Buffalo RIG1 and MDA5 genes were investigated to understand the mechanism of receptor induced antiviral response. Sequence analysis revealed that RIG1 and MDA5 maintain a domain arrangement that is common in mammals. Critical binding site residues of the receptors are evolutionary conserved among mammals. Molecular dynamics simulations suggested that RIG1 and MDA5 follow a similar, if not identical, dsRNA binding pattern that has been previously reported in human. Moreover, binding free energy calculation revealed that MDA5 had a greater affinity towards dsRNA compared to RIG1. Constitutive expressions of RLR genes were ubiquitous in different tissues without being specific to immune organs. Poly I:C stimulation induced elevated expressions of IFN-β and IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) through interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) mediated pathway in buffalo foetal fibroblast cells. The present study provides crucial insights into the structure and function of RIG1 and MDA5 receptors in buffalo.

Background: Long COVID is characterized by a multisystemic, and complex disease and current efforts are focused on the search for biomarkers associated with clinical outcomes.
Objective: In this study, we evaluated the gene expression of 15 biomarkers and their relationship with the clinical aspects of the condition.
Methods: c-DNA samples from 15 patients with long COVID, 15 patients recovered and without sequelae (RWS), and 15 patients with symptomatic acute COVID-19 were analyzed.

The surface of the skin is continually exposed to pro-inflammatory stimuli; however, it is unclear why it is not constantly inflamed due to this exposure. Here, we showed undifferentiated keratinocytes residing in the deep epidermis could trigger a strong inflammatory response due to their high expression of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that detect damage or pathogens. As keratinocytes differentiated, they migrated outward toward the surface of the skin and decreased their PRR expression, which led to dampened immune responses.

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) has caused massive economic losses in the cattle business worldwide. Fatty acid synthase (FASN), a key enzyme of the fatty acid synthesis (FAS) pathway, has been shown to support virus replication. To investigate the role of fatty acids (FAs) in BVDV infection, we infected CD8T lymphocytes obtained from healthy cattle with BVDV in vitro.

Endogenous double-stranded RNA has emerged as a potent stimulator of innate immunity. Under physiological conditions, endogenous dsRNA is maintained in the cell nucleus or the mitochondria; however, if protective mechanisms are breached, it leaches into the cytoplasm and triggers immune signaling pathways. Ectopic activation of innate immune pathways is associated with various diseases and senescence and can trigger apoptosis.

Viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) interacts with Retinoic-acid-inducible-gene-1 (RIG-1)-like receptors (RLRs) to induce type 1 interferons. Melanoma-derived-antigen-5 (MDA-5), an RLR, but not RIG-1, is found in chickens. Ducks express both RIG-1 and MDA-5, a possible cause of differences in susceptibility to influenza virus infection between chickens and ducks.
