Abstract The main challenges for programmed cell death 1(PD-1)/PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) checkpoint blockade lie in a lack of sufficient T infiltration, tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, and the inadequate accumulation penetration anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody. Resetting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is promising strategy to enhance T-cell antitumor immunity ameliorate immunosuppression. Here, mannose-modified macrophage-derived microparticles (Man-MPs) loading metformin (Met@Man-MPs) are...

Abstract Salivary elicitors secreted by herbivorous insects can be perceived host plants to trigger plant immunity. However, how secrete other salivary components subsequently attenuate the elicitor-induced immunity remains poorly understood. Here, we study small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus sheath protein LsSP1. Using Y2H, BiFC and LUC assays, show that LsSP1 is into binds via mucin-like (LsMLP). Rice pre-infested with ds LsSP1- treated L. are less attractive nymphs than those...

Communication between insects and plants relies on the exchange of bioactive molecules that traverse species interface. Although proteinic effectors have been extensively studied, our knowledge other involved in this process remains limited. In study, we investigate role salivary microRNAs (miRNAs) from rice planthopper Nilaparvata lugens suppressing plant immunity. A total three miRNAs were confirmed to be secreted into host during insect feeding. Notably, sequence-conserved miR-7-5P is...

Sitobion avenae F. is a highly prevalent and devastating pest in wheat crops, leading to significant yield losses. Silicon (Si) has been widely recognized as an effective inducer of plant resistance against aphids. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms governing physiological biochemical responses plants induced by Si defense S. remain incompletely understood. In this study, we conducted experiments treating leaves with varying concentrations Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) spray under...

Plant metabolites play vital roles in regulating the behavior of herbivore insects. Virus infection can universally alter plant to manipulate orientation and feeding behaviors insect vector, favor transmission virus. Thus, determining differentially accumulated upon virus could provide insights into understanding how triple interactions among plant, vector happens. Our previous studies have found that whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) showed different performance on...

Abstract Herbivorous insects such as whiteflies, planthoppers, and aphids secrete abundant orphan proteins to facilitate feeding. Yet, how these genes are recruited evolve mediate plant–insect interaction remains unknown. In this study, we report a horizontal gene transfer (HGT) event from fungi an ancestor of Aleyrodidae approximately 42 190 million years ago. BtFTSP1 is salivary protein that secreted into host plants during Bemisia tabaci It targets defensive ferredoxin 1 in Nicotiana...

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a notorious agricultural pest and the effective vector of many plant viruses worldwide. Cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV), exclusively transmitted by B. in semipersistent manner, serious causal agent cucurbit crops countries. Plant can manipulate behaviors insect vectors to promote spread themselves, but underlying mechanisms are remaining unclear.In this study, our observations indicated that tabaci, when carrying CCYV, oriented...

Antibiotics are the primary measures employed in prevention and treatment of diseases aquaculture. However, frequent utilization antibiotics can significantly impact growth reproduction aquatic organisms, resulting water pollution. The European Union (EU) has prohibited antibiotic additives animal feed. Potassium diformate (KDF) represents first non-antibiotic feed additive approved by EU as a viable alternative to antibiotics. Its application nutrition been validated, demonstrating...

The thioredoxin (Trx) system is one of the most significant systems in living organisms as it regulates cellular redox reactions and plays a pivotal protective role within cell by promoting homeostasis. Trx reductase (TrxR) are core oxidoreductases system. In this study, novel full-length cDNAs LvTrx2 LvTrxR were cloned from Litopenaeus vannamei. ORFs 453 bp 1785 bp, encoding polypeptides consisting 150 596 amino acids. Sequence alignment analysis revealed that acid sequence shared high...

Red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) is a valuable aquatic species with fast growth, big size, delicious meat, and strong resistance to diseases worldwide. Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) the most common potently toxic known infect animals. The present study was performed at transcriptome level investigate mechanism of C. quadricarinatus in responses MC-LR by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis.
