Summary: In this study, we identified 27 ChemR genes in miiuy croaker and analyzed their characteristics, including gene structure, evolutionary mechanism, and expression levels upon bacterial infection. The results showed that these genes underwent tandem and segmental duplication events during evolution, and teleost fishes' ChemRs may have a higher evolutionary dynamic compared to vertebrates. Additionally, 21 positively selected codons were detected in vertebrate ChemRs under Model 8, and certain genes were significantly up-regulated upon Vibrio harveyi infection, providing valuable information for further functional analysis.

Summary: In this study, a novel NLRC3-NLRP12 fusion gene was identified in the miiuy croaker. The fusion gene was significantly upregulated after infection with V. anguillarum or stimulation with LPS, and its overexpression inhibited NF-kappa B activation. These findings suggest that the newly discovered NLRC3-NLRP12 fusion gene may play an important role in innate immunity in miiuy croaker.

Summary: This study systematically analyzed the structure, evolution, and function of caspase-2 and caspase-8 in miiuy croaker, revealing that caspase-2 is more conservative in evolution compared to caspase-8. The study also found that these caspases were up-regulated in the liver, spleen, and kidney after infection, and could inhibit the NF-kB pathway.

Summary: This study identified METTL16 in miiuy croaker and found that its expression was increased after poly(I:C) stimulation, suggesting its involvement in antiviral immunity. Functional experiments showed that mmiMETTL16 could inhibit immune response caused by viral stimulation. Overall, the study on mmiMETTL16 will contribute to understanding the role of METTL16 in the teleost immune system and the potential mechanisms of the m6A regulation network.

Summary: This study assessed the genetic diversity and population structure of brown croaker using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The findings showed that the species has undergone population expansion and that there are significant differences between the populations in China and Korea. These results contribute to the understanding of the population structure of M. miiuy and can inform resource management strategies.

Summary: This study demonstrated that CCL4 levels in CRC tissue and the CCL4 gene polymorphism rs10491121, particularly in the right colon, are associated with the clinical outcome of CRC patients. High CCL4 expression in CRC tissue was linked to better survival outcomes, while plasma CCL4 levels were elevated in CRC patients compared to healthy controls. The analysis also highlighted differences in CCL4 gene polymorphism between localized and disseminated disease, with potential implications for prognosis.

Summary: Chemokines play a crucial role in cell mobilization for development, immunity, and homeostasis. The study identified multiple CC and CXC chemokine receptors in the turbot genome, with evolutionary analyses revealing mechanisms for the expansion of these receptors. Furthermore, the expression of turbot chemokine receptors was found to be significantly affected by infection and interacted with immune-related genes.

Summary: Chemokines are important for guiding cell mobilization and play crucial roles in development, homeostasis, and immunity. The CC subfamily is the largest subfamily, and in Black rockfish, 24 CC chemokine ligands and 12 CC chemokine receptors were identified, showing differential expression patterns in response to infection and interacting with immune-related genes. These findings provide valuable insights for comparative immunological studies and functional characterization of chemokines and receptors in teleosts.

Summary: Summary: This study characterizes the gene expression changes in Drosophila fruit flies following infection by different pathogens and identifies a small number of genes that consistently show expression changes. These findings provide new insight into the transcriptional changes that accompany the immune response in fruit flies and may serve as candidate genes for further study.

Summary: The study finds that an LRR-RLK from Phytophthora sojae can activate pattern-triggered immunity in host soybean and nonhost tomato and Nicotiana benthamiana plants. This provides a novel microbe-associated molecular pattern for oomycete sexual reproduction and demonstrates a scenario where a pathogen LRR-RLK is sensed by a plant LRR-RLP to initiate plant immunity.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
