Abstract
The interleukin 23 receptor (IL-23R) is associated with a variety of inflammatory diseases in humans and other mammals. However, whether IL-23R is involved in inflammatory diseases in teleost fish is less understood. Thus, to investigate the potential involvement of IL-23R in fish inflammatory diseases, the full-length cDNA of IL-23R from grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella was cloned and used to generate a recombinant protein (rgcIL-23R) containing the extracellular domain of IL-23R, against which a polyclonal antibody (rgcIL-23R pAb) was then developed. qPCR analysis revealed that IL-23R mRNA was significantly upregulated in most grass carp tissues in response to infection with Gram-negative Aeromonas hydrophila. Treatment with rgcIL-23R significantly induced IL-17A/F1 expression in C. idella kidney (CIK) cells. By contrast, knockdown of IL-23R caused significant decreases in IL-23R, STAT3, and IL-17N expression in CIK cells after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Similarly, rgcIL-23R pAb treatment effectively inhibited the LPS-induced increase in the expression of IL-23 subunit genes and those of the IL-23/IL-17 pathway in CIK cells. Furthermore, intestinal symptoms identical to those caused by A. hydrophila were induced by anal intubation with rgcIL-23R, but suppressed by rgcIL-23R pAb. Therefore, these results suggest that IL-23R has a crucial role in the regulation of intestinal inflammation and, thus, is a promising target for controlling inflammatory diseases in farmed fish.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 140:108974.

Abstract
As a pleiotropic cytokine consisting of IL-12p35 and IL-12p40, Interleukin-12 (IL-12) features in inflammation regulation and anti-bacterial immunity. While IL-12 homologs have been identified in non-mammalian species, the precise mechanisms by which IL-12 contributes to early adaptive immune responses in vertebrates remain incompletely understood. Herein, an evolutionary conserved Oreochromis niloticus IL-12 (defined as OnIL-12) was identified by synteny characterization, structural comparisons and phylogenetic pattern of IL-12p35b and IL-12p40a. IL-12p35b and IL-12p40a exhibited widespread expression in lymphoid-related tissues of tilapia, while their mRNA expression in head-kidney demonstrated a significant increase after Edwardsiella piscicida infection. Compared with other lymphocytes, recombinant OnIL-12 (rOnIL-12) displayed stronger affinity binding to T cells. Although stimulation of lymphocytes with the p35b or p40a subunit resulted in a significant induction of IFN-γ expression, rOnIL-12 showed stronger potential to promote IFN-γ expression than these subunits. rOnIL-12 not only elevated the mRNA expression level Th1 cell-associated transcription factor T-bet in lymphocytes, but also increased the proportion of CD4-1+IFN-γ+ lymphocytes. Moreover, the mRNA and phosphorylation levels of STAT1, STAT3, STAT4 and STAT5 were enhanced by rOnIL-12. These findings will offer previous evidence for further exploration into the regulatory mechanisms of Th1 cellular immunity in early vertebrates.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1565. [PMID: 37627560 PMCID: PMC10451200 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12081565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
An M. salmoides fish meal diet was supplemented with 0 (CHL0, Control), 38 (CHL38), 76 (CHL76), 114 (CHL114), and 152 (CHL152) mg/kg C. vulgaris for 60 days, and their serum and intestinal samples were analyzed. The results showed that the albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP) contents were observably enhanced in the CHL76 group compared with the Control group. The intestinal glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) contents were enhanced significantly in the CHL76 group, while the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was enhanced in the CHL38 group, compared with the Control group. However, supplementation of >76 g/kg C. vulgaris significantly inhibited the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the intestines of M. salmoides. Moreover, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content was observably dropped in the CHL-supplemented groups compared with the Control group. Transcriptome analysis of the CHL76 and Control groups displayed a total of 1384 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). KEGG analysis revealed that these DEGs were enriched in apoptosis, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, tight junction (TJ), and phagosome signaling pathways, which were associated with improved intestinal immunity in the CHL76 group. Additionally, the DEGs enriched in the above pathways were also correlated with the antioxidant parameters, such as catalase (CAT), GSH, GSH-Px, SOD, T-AOC, and MDA. Therefore, our study found that dietary supplementation of C. vulgaris effectively enhanced the intestinal antioxidant capacity of M. salmoides by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and decreasing MDA content. Additionally, dietary supplementation of C. vulgaris improved the intestinal immune status of M. salmoides by reducing proapoptotic and proinflammatory factors, increasing intestinal TJs- and phagosome-related genes expressions, and increasing the serum ALB and TP contents. Lastly, quadratic regression analysis of the serum biochemical indices (ALB and TP) and intestinal antioxidant parameters (GSH-Px and GSH) revealed that the optimal supplemental level of C. vulgaris in the M. salmoides diet was 58.25-77.7 g/kg.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-12 family cytokines including IL-12, IL-23, IL-27, IL-35 and IL-39 are heterodimeric cytokines composed of two subunits, an α-chain (entitled p35, p19 and p28) and a β-chain (namely p40 and Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3, EBI3). Unlike in mammals, specific whole genome duplication events in fish may generate more paralogues of these subunits as the components of IL-12 family cytokines. Although all subunit genes of IL-12 family have been isolated and identified in various fish species, some important issues on fish IL-12 family are needed to be addressed compared to the extensive study in mammals: Whether the expansion of these subunit genes results in the generation of multiple isoforms of the family cytokines; Whether the related receptor genes have similar complex repertoire corresponding to their ligands; How about the expression kinetics of these subunit paralogues particularly under the circumstance of pathogen infection and immune stimulation; How about the functional properties of IL-12 family in fish. In the past ten years, these concerns have received increasing attentions to establish the biological significance of this family cytokines in fish immunity. In this review, we summarized the current understanding of IL-12 family with a special focus on the molecular structures, inducible expression profiles and functions of IL-12 family members in fish.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder of the endocrine system. Its main manifestations include oligo-ovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovary morphology (PCOM), affecting women of childbearing age. Although the exact pathogenesis of this disease is still unknown, many factors, including genetic, endocrine, and metabolism disorders, play critical roles in its development. The immunopathogenesis of PCOS has not yet been studied in-depth, but it is hypothesized that immune system abnormalities may play a key role in it. Recent research has shown inflammation's effect on ovulation and ovarian follicular dynamics. Thus, it is suggested that there is a close association between PCOS and low-grade chronic systemic inflammation. As a result, chronic low-grade inflammation is identified as a significant factor in the pathogenesis and development of PCOS, which in turn leads to infertility. As a result, this article reviews PCOS immunopathology, evaluates long-standing hypotheses about the immune system's role in PCOS, and assesses the association between inflammatory factors and PCOS.

Abstract
Interleukin 12 (IL-12) binds its receptor complex of IL-12 receptor beta 1 (IL-12Rβ1) and IL-12Rβ2 to transduce cellular signaling in mammals. In teleosts, the function of Il-12 is drawing increasing attention, but molecular and functional features of Il-12 receptors remain obscure. Especially, the existence of multiple Il-12 isoforms in some fish species elicits the requirement to clarify their receptors. In this study, we isolated three cDNA sequences as Il-12 receptor candidates from grass carp, entitled as grass carp Il-12rβ1 (gcIl-12rβ1), gcIl-12rβ2a and gcIl-12rβ2b. In silico analysis showed that gcIl-12rβ1 and gcIl-12rβ2a shared the conserved gene locus and similar structure characteristics with their orthologues of zebrafish, frog, chicken, mouse and human, respectively. However, the Il-12rβ2b of grass carp and zebrafish was similar to IL-27Ra in non-fish species. Further locally installed BLAST and gene synteny analysis uncovered three gcIl-12 receptors being single copied genes. Tissue distribution assay revealed that gcil12rβ1 and gcil12rβ2a transcripts were predominantly expressed in head kidney, differing from the even distribution of gcil12rβ2b transcripts in all detected tissues. Subsequently, the binding ability and antagonistic effects of recombinant extracellular region of gcIl-12rβ1 with recombinant grass carp Il-12 (rgcIl-12) isoforms were explored, providing functional evidence of the newly cloned gcIl-12rβ1 being genuine orthologues of mammalian IL-12Rβ1. Moreover, our data showed that gcIl-12rβ1 and gcIl-12rβ2a but not gcIl-12rβ1 and gcIl-12rβ2b mediated the effects of rgcIl-12 isoforms on ifn-γ promoter activity, thereby revealing Il-12 receptor signaling in fish. These results identified grass carp Il-12 receptors, thereby advancing our understanding of Il-12 isoform signaling in fish.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to study the relationship between ferroptosis proteins and reproductive outcomes of infertile patients with PCOS and construct the related prognostic model. METHODS These endometrium samples of the study were collected from 33 women with PCOS and 7 control women with successful pregnancies at the Reproductive Center of Lanzhou University Second Hospital, September 2019 to September 2020. The 40 patients' endometrium was identified the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis and Gene Ontology (GO) showed that the DEPs related pathways and functions between PCOS and controls. Subsequently, univariate Cox regression analysis and Lasso regression were used to identifying independent prognostic ferroptosis proteins, which were utilized to establish a prognostic model. Then the performance of the prognostic model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and decision curve analysis (DCA). Then clinical data and prognostic model were used to predict the reproductive outcomes of PCOS patients by constructing the nomograms. Finally, we performed the single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) to explore the correlation between risk scores and immune status. RESULTS A total of 5331 proteins were identified, 391 proteins were differentially expressed in the PCOS and controls. The KEGG analysis revealed that the ferroptosis pathway was significantly different between PCOS and controls. 5 ferroptosis proteins (GPX4, DPP4, G6PD, PCBP1, and PCBP2) prognostic model (FerSig) was constructed via Cox regression and Lasso regression. Patients were separated into high and low-risk groups according to the FerSig. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that patients in the low-risk group had much better reproductive outcomes than those in the high-risk group. The DCA showed that the risk score was an independent predictive factor for reproductive outcomes. Compared with clinical data, ROC curve analysis indicated the FerSig proteins as a potential diagnostic and prognostic factor in PCOS patients. Functional analysis revealed that the FerSig proteins and immune microenvironment were correlated to the prognosis of PCOS. CONCLUSION The prognostic model focused on the FerSig proteins could predict the reproductive outcomes of PCOS patients with decreased endometrial receptivity, and provided theoretical basis for individualized treatment.

Abstract
The mucosal organs of fishes are directly exposed to their aquatic environment, which is suited to the colonization and growth of microorganisms, and thus these barriers are considered to play an important role in maintaining homeostasis and preventing entry of invasive pathogens. Research on fish mucosal immunity have shown that mucosal organs such as gills, skin, intestines and olfactory organs harbor lymphoid cells, including T and B cells as well as dendritic-like cells. Findings related to immune responses following direct administration of antigens into the mucosal organs could help to shed light upon the development of fish mucosal vaccines. The present review highlights vaccine delivery via mucosal organs, in particular focusing on methods other than those of typical mucosal vaccine platforms, such as oral and immersion vaccines. In addition, we propose the hypothesis that mucosal tissues are important sites for generating cell-mediated immunity following vaccination with extracellular antigens.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) a long-known endocrinopathy and one of the most common endocrine-reproductive-metabolic disorders in women, which can lead to infertility. Although the precise etiology remains unclear, PCOS is considered as a complex genetic trait, with a high degree of heterogeneity. Besides, hormones and immune cells, including both innate and adaptive immune cells, are reportedly a cross talk in PCOS. Chronic low-grade inflammation increases autoimmune disease risk. This proinflammatory condition may, in turn, affect vital physiological processes that ultimately cause infertility, such as ovulation failure and embryo implantation. Here, we review the accumulating evidence linking PCOS with inflammatory status providing an overview of the underlying hormone-mediated dysregulation of immune cells. We mainly focus on the correlational evidence of associations between immune status in women and the increased prevalence of PCOS, along with the specific changes in immune responses. Further recognition and exploration of these interactions may help elucidate PCOS pathophysiology and highlight targets for its treatment and prevention.
