TRIM3 attenuates cytokine storm caused by Dabie bandavirus via promoting Toll-like receptor 3 degradation

Ke Jin, Yan Dai, Ke Ouyang, Huaying Huang, Zhengyi Jiang, Zhan Yang, Tingting Zhou, Hong Lin, Chunhui Wang, Chunyan Wang, Xuewei Sun, Dafeng Lu, Xiaoguang Liu, Nannan Hu, Chuanlong Zhu, Jin Zhu, Jun Li

Summary: This study found that TRIM3 gene expression is decreased in SFTS patients, especially in severe cases. In the IFNAR(-/-) SFTS mouse model, TRIM3 gene and protein expression were also reduced. Further experiments demonstrated that TRIM3 inhibits cytokine production by promoting TLR3 degradation through K48-linked ubiquitination, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. This suggests that TRIM3 may be a therapeutic target for improving the prognosis of SFTS.

Antimicrobial Peptides with Anti-Candida Activity

Aitzol Perez-Rodriguez, Elena Eraso, Guillermo Quindos, Estibaliz Mateo

Summary: Mycoses are responsible for millions of infections worldwide each year, with invasive candidiasis being the most common and having high morbidity and mortality. The incidence of other Candida species, such as Candida parapsilosis, Candida glabrata, and Candida auris, is increasing. These pathogens often show reduced susceptibility to commonly used antifungal drugs, and the emergence of multi-drug-resistant strains continues to rise. Therefore, the search for new molecules that target these pathogens in a different way is urgent. Antimicrobial peptides, found in nature, have advantages over traditional antifungal agents and are considered a promising option for treating a wide range of microbial infections.
