Article Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an important role in innate immune through recognizes pathogens. In order to reveal the evolutionary patterns and adaptive evolution of avian TLRs, we examined 66 representative bird species in 26 orders. Phylogenetic results indicated that TLR1A and TLR1B may have differentiated functionally. Evolutionary analysis showed that the TLR genes in birds under strong Purification selection (0.165-0.4265). A total of 126 common positively selected codons were identified in 10 TLR genes of avian, and most sites were located in the extracellular leucine-rich repeat (LRR) functional domains, and both environment and feeding habits were external factors driving the evolution of avian TLR genes. Environmental pressures had a greater effect on TLR1B, TLR2B, TLR3 and TLR4, while feeding habits were active in affecting TLR2A, TLR2B, TLR15 and TLR21. Our data suggested that TLR genes have been subjected to different selective pressures in the diversification of birds and that these changes enabled them to respond differently to pathogens from diverse sources.

Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy in suppressing plasma viremia in people living with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1), persistent viral RNA expression in tissue reservoirs is observed and can contribute to HIV-1-induced immunopathology and comorbidities. Infection of long-lived innate immune cells, such as tissue-resident macrophages and microglia may contribute to persistent viral RNA production and chronic inflammation. We recently reported that de novo cytoplasmic expression of HIV-1 intron-containing RNA (icRNA) in macrophages and microglia leads to MDA5 and MAVS-dependent innate immune sensing and induction of type I IFN responses, demonstrating that HIV icRNA is a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP).

Introduction And Aims: Pulpitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting oral health. We aim to identify immune-related lncRNAs via bioinformatics analyses and explore their functions through ceRNA networks.
Methods: The expression profiles of 6 patients with pulpitis and 8 normal dental pulp have been obtained from Genome Sequence Archive.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains incurable despite treatment advances, and a major challenge is that biomarkers that predict response and resistance to current therapies are lacking. We report that activated and proliferating malignant CLL B cells in circulation express PD-1, a protein normally expressed in T cells. PD-1 expression is absent in circulating B cells from healthy controls and nonmalignant B cells from patients with CLL.

Food allergy (FA) is an exacerbated immune system response to harmless food antigens following sensitization. The incidence of FA has risen significantly over the past two decades, a trend often attributed to modern lifestyle factors such as dietary patterns, antibiotic use, and urban environments. Sensitization may result from a compromised intestinal barrier caused by inflammatory bowel diseases, genetic predisposition, or a combination of both.

Background: Vedolizumab (VDZ) is a monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). Despite its efficacy, non-response to VDZ is common in clinical practice with no clear understanding of how it manifests. Here, we performed an exploratory study characterizing the cellular repertoire of responders and non-responders to VDZ during treatment.
