ABSTRACT Adipose tissue continues to gain appreciation for its broad role as an endocrine organ, and disruptions in adipose homeostasis plays a central cardiovascular physiology. We have previously shown that expression of the RNA binding protein HuR mediates energy expenditure, but potential impacts this finding not been explored. show here tissue-specific deletion (Adipo-HuR -/- ) is sufficient induce spontaneous development cardiac hypertrophy fibrosis. Hearts from Adipo-HuR mice increased left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, rate pressure generation, LV posterior wall thickness accompanied by increase LV/body weight ratio hypertrophic gene expression. Furthermore, hearts display fibrosis picrosirius red staining periostin To identify underlying mechanisms, we applied both RNA-seq weighted co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) define HuR-dependent changes well significant relationships between mass. results demonstrate pro-inflammatory subcutaneous white (scWAT) serum levels TNF-α IL-6. WGCNA identified enrichment inflammation, apoptosis/cell death, vesicle-mediated transport genes among those whose most significantly associated with CVD . In conclusion, loss promotes fibrosis, potentially through modulation inflammation scWAT.

The recognition of viral nucleic acids by host pattern receptors (PRRs) is critical for initiating innate immune responses against infections. These are mediated the induction interferons (IFNs), IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, regulatory mechanisms to avoid excessive or long-lasting that may cause detrimental hyperinflammation. Here, we identified a novel function ISG, IFN alpha inducible protein 27 (IFI27) in counteracting triggered cytoplasmic RNA binding. Our model systems included three unrelated infections caused Influenza A virus (IAV), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Sendai (SeV), transfection with an analog double-stranded (ds) RNA. Furthermore, found IFI27 has positive effect on IAV SARS-CoV-2 replication, most likely due its ability counteract host-induced antiviral responses, including vivo . We also show interacts PRR retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I), being interaction RIG-I through Interestingly, our results indicate impairs activation, providing molecular mechanism modulating responses. study identifies explain counterbalancing preventing Therefore, this will have important implications drug design control viral-induced pathology.

Liver lymphatic vessels support liver function by draining interstitial fluid, cholesterol, fat, and immune cells for surveillance in the lymph node. Chronic disease is associated with increased inflammation cell infiltrate. However, it currently unknown if or how respond to infiltrate during chronic disease. Here we demonstrate that vessel abundance increases patients areas of fibrosis infiltration. Using single-cell mRNA sequencing multi-spectral immunofluorescence analysis identified endothelial found results (LECs) are active cycle expression CCL21. Additionally, LECs from NASH adopt a transcriptional program IL13 signaling. Moreover, oxidized low density lipoprotein, pathogenesis, induced transcription protein production both vitro mouse model. Finally, show lipoprotein reduced PROX1 decreased stability. Together these data indicate participants liver, expanding an attempt maintain tissue homeostasis. when inflammatory signals, such as increased, NASH, declines homeostasis impeded.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human lymphotropic herpesvirus that causally associated with several malignancies. In addition to latent factors, lytic replication contributes cancer development. this study, we examined whether the gene BNRF1, which conserved among gamma-herpesviruses, has an important role in lymphomagenesis. We found lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) established by BNRF1-knockout EBV exhibited remarkably lower pathogenicity mice xenograft model than LCLs produced wild-type (LCLs-WT). RNA-seq analyses revealed BNRF1 elicited expression of interferon-inducible protein 27 (IFI27), promotes proliferation. IFI27 knockdown LCLs-WT resulted excessive production reactive oxygen species, leading death and significantly decreased their vivo . also confirmed was upregulated during primary infection B-cells.
