Article Abstract
As one member of type I IFN, IFNd showed huge distinctive responses and activity during the viral or bacterial infection in various fish species. Our previous study identified IFNd from obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus (ToIFNd), and the function and regulation of ToIFNd was further investigated in the present study. The transcriptional levels of ToIFNd were significantly induced post bacteria Vibrio harveyi and virus simulator Poly (I:C) stimulation in the head kidney. In addition, recombinant ToIFNd (rToIFNd) treatment enhanced the expressions of numerous interferon stimulated genes (ISGs, such as Mx1, PKR1, and PKR2) and several immune effectors (such as Il1, faslg, and tnf14) both in the in vivo and in vitro experiments. The expression patterns of interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) post rToIFNd stimulation suggesting that IRF3, 7, and 8 showed strong response and might play critical role during the ToIFNd mediated signal transduction. Remarkably, we firstly found that rToIFNd stimulation promoted lipid droplets (LDs) formation in liver, which was further confirmed by the increased number of LDs by TEM, up-regulated expressions of LDs marker PLIN3, as well as the transcripts of genes involved in the transport and synthesis of neutral lipids. These results corroborate the antibacterial and antiviral function of ToIFNd in obscure puffer, and revealed that ToIFNd might play immune regulatory role by medicating LDs formation, which will contribute to explore the functional characteristics of IFN system.

Microglia regulate neuronal circuit plasticity. Disrupting their homeostatic function has detrimental effects on neuronal circuit health. Neuroinflammation contributes to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), with several microglial activation genes linked to increased risk for these conditions.

Accumulating evidence suggests that astrocytic dysfunction is closely associated with the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, ischemic stroke (IS), epilepsy, and glioma. Lipid droplets (LDs), ubiquitous intracellular lipid storage organelles, exhibit metabolic abnormalities that are commonly observed in these neurological conditions, particularly in astrocytes, where LD metabolic dysregulation may serve as a critical link between glial dysfunction and neuronal damage.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells exhibit high metabolic flexibility, enabling survival under glucose limitation by using alternative fuels such as fatty acids. Lipophagy, a selective form of autophagy targeting lipid droplets (LDs), supports mitochondrial respiration during such nutrient stress. Our previous study demonstrated that the LSD1 inhibitor SP-2509 disrupts lipophagy independently of LSD1 inhibition, leading to LD accumulation and ATP depletion in glycolysis-suppressed PDAC cells.

As living standards continue to rise, the demand for advanced cotton textiles that fulfill enhanced functional requirements has grown significantly. Therefore, the development of multifunctional antibacterial/hydrophobic cotton fabrics holds considerable practical value. In this study, a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) based hybrid material, ZIF/SiO-LDS (Long-chain derivative of silane), was synthesized via a co-precipitation method using silica, zinc nitrate hexahydrate, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550), 2-methylimidazole and hexadecyltrimethylsilane (HDTMS).
