Summary: In this study, a novel TRIM37 homolog called PmTRIM37 was identified, which plays important roles in regulating innate immune processes, particularly antiviral and proinflammatory cytokine responses. PmTRIM37 is highly expressed in immune-related tissues and its expression is up-regulated after white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection. Knockdown of PmTRIM37 promotes WSSV replication and VP28 expression, suggesting its negative role in WSSV infection. Furthermore, PmTRIM37 positively regulates the NF-κB pathway and Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) expression during WSSV infection.

Summary: Flow cytometric analysis revealed three types of haemocytes in Penaeus monodon, showing variations in morphologic and immunological characteristics. Granular cells and semigranular cells are actively involved in cellular defence, with the former having the highest immune activities and the latter being the most abundant in circulation.

Summary: In this study, a fibrinogen-related protein in the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon was identified and characterized. The PmFreP was found to be mainly expressed in the intestine, able to bind bacteria and facilitate the clearance of pathogens in shrimp innate immunity. These results suggest that PmFreP may serve as pattern recognition receptors implicated in shrimp innate immunity.

Summary: This study investigated the phenotypic and genetic variances and relationships for body weight and body color traits of black tiger shrimp. It found that the color of cooked shrimp can be improved indirectly by genetic selection based on the color of uncooked/live shrimp. Additionally, the intensity of coloration is positively correlated with body weight traits.

Summary: This study used single-cell transcriptome sequencing to construct a single-cell transcriptional map of hepatopancreatic cells and haemocytes in shrimp, and analyzed the molecular mechanisms of the immune response to ammonia nitrogen stress. The results identified the developmental starting points of haemocytes and hepatopancreatic cells, and revealed the activation of antioxidant and immune defense systems under ammonia nitrogen stress. Important response genes played a role in shrimp cell differentiation and functional plasticity.

Summary: The study cloned a MAPKK cDNA from black tiger shrimp and found that it plays a crucial role in stress resistance and immunity. The expression of PmMAPKK was highest in the ovary and varied in different tissues and developmental stages. In bacterial infection and low-salinity stress experiments, PmMAPKK expression levels were significantly altered, affecting the mortality rate of shrimp under stress conditions. The activation of ERK, JNK, and p38 signaling pathways suggested complex regulatory mechanisms in the MAPK signaling pathway. These results indicate the involvement of PmMAPKK in the innate immune mechanism of P. monodon and its adaptation to low-salinity environments.

Summary: In this study, a novel glutaredoxin (Grx), named PmGrx2, was identified in Penaeus monodon. The study showed that PmGrx2 plays an important role in shrimps' resistance to marine environmental stresses. In addition, inhibition of PmGrx2 resulted in shrimp being exposed to a greater risk of oxidative damage.

Summary: Circular RNAs (circRNA) are involved in gene expression and affect cellular processes such as transcription, splicing, and translation by interacting with microRNA and RNA binding proteins. A study identified circDNAJB6 as a circular RNA abundant in chicken macrophages after bacterial infection, and found that circDNAJB6 exacerbates cellular injury and interacts with multiple miRNAs and target genes, potentially impacting autophagy and MAPK signaling pathways.

Summary: The innate immune response relies on the ability of host cells to detect and respond to microbial nucleic acids. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in this process by distinguishing self from non-self. This study focused on TLR21, an avian TLR that recognizes bacterial DNA motifs. The findings suggest that avian TLR21 shares similar activation mechanisms to mammalian TLR9, highlighting the conservation of nucleic acid sensing mechanisms across species.

Summary: Chickens have a unique immune structure characterized by the absence of draining lymph nodes and the presence of well-developed mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. The structure and development of chicken lymphoid tissues in the intestine, particularly Peyer's patches, have been poorly studied. However, the use of CSF1R-eGFP reporter transgenic chickens has allowed for the visualization and investigation of the development and distribution of these tissues. This research provides insights that could benefit mucosal vaccination strategies and the development of targeted vaccine delivery systems.

Summary: rNLRC3 negatively regulates the NF -KB signaling pathway induced by P. multocida in rabbits by inhibiting the activation of NF -KB, reducing the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and interacting with rTRAF4 and rTRAF6. The NACHT-LRR domain is the functional domain of rNLRC3. These findings provide insights into the important role of rNLRC3 in combating P. multocida infection.
