    Abstract: ... chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL5) gene expression at baseline were inversely associated with unfavorable ...

    Abstract Objectives: We aimed to analyze whether the expression of inflammatory and antiviral genes in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-infected infants' peripheral blood is associated with bronchiolitis progression.
    Methods: We conducted a prospective study on 117 infants between 2015 and 2023. The expression levels of nine genes were quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Infants were classified according to their clinical evolution during hospital admission: (i) non-progression (n = 74), when the RSV bronchiolitis severity remained stable or improved; (ii) unfavorable progression (n = 43), when the RSV bronchiolitis severity increased. The association analysis was performed by logistic regression, adjusted by age, gender, prematurity, and RSV bronchiolitis severity in the emergency room.
    Results: Infants were 57.3% male, and the median age of the study population was 61 days. Thirty-five infants (30.7%) were admitted to the intensive care unit after hospital admission. Univariate logistic models showed that tumor necrosis factor (TNFα) and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL5) gene expression at baseline were inversely associated with unfavorable progression, which was confirmed by multivariate analyses: TNFα (adjusted odds ratio = 0.8 [95% confidence interval = 0.64-0.99], P-value = 0.038) and CCL5 (adjusted odds ratio = 0.76 [95% confidence interval = 0.62-0.93], P-value = 0.007).
    Conclusions: An inadequate immune response to RSV, characterized by reduced gene expression levels of CCL5 and TNFα in peripheral blood, was associated with an unfavorable progression of RSV bronchiolitis.

    Recurrent Infections and Immunodeficiency as an Extension of the Phenotypic Spectrum in MT-ATP6 Mutations?

    2020  Volume 19

    Abstract: ... Single-exome sequencing revealed a variant in the MT-ATP6 gene: m.9143T>C. Analysis of further specimen ...

    Abstract Pathogenic variants in the MT-ATP6 are a well-known cause for maternally inherited mitochondrial disorders associated with a wide range of clinical phenotypes. Here, we present a 31- year old female with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, recurrent lactic acidosis and ketoacidosis recurrent infections with suspected immunodeficiency with T cell lymphopenia and hypogammaglobulinemia as well as proximal tetraparesis with severe muscle and limb pain and rapid physical exhaustion. Muscle biopsy and respiratory chain activities were normal. Single-exome sequencing revealed a variant in the MT-ATP6 gene: m.9143T>C. Analysis of further specimen of the index and mother (segregation studies) revealed the highest mutation load in muscle (99% level of mtDNA heteroplasmy) of the index patient. Interestingly, acute metabolic and physical decompensation during recurrent illness was documented to be a common clinical feature in patients with MT-ATP6 variants. However, it was not mentioned as a key symptom. Thus, we suggest that the clinical spectrum might be expanded in ATP6 -associated diseases.

    Abstract The second wave of COVID-19 occurred in South America in early 2021 and was mainly driven by Gamma and Lambda variants. In this study, we aimed to describe the emergence and local genomic diversity of the SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant in Argentina, from its initial entry into the country until its detection ceased. Molecular surveillance was conducted on 9356 samples from Argentina between October 2020 and April 2022, and sequencing, phylogenetic, and phylogeographic analyses were performed. Our findings revealed that the Lambda variant was first detected in Argentina in January 2021 and steadily increased in frequency until it peaked in April 2021, with continued detection throughout the year. Phylodynamic analyses showed that at least 18 introductions of the Lambda variant into the country occurred, with nine of them having evidence of onward local transmission. The spatial--temporal reconstruction showed that Argentine clades were associated with Lambda sequences from Latin America and suggested an initial diversification in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires before spreading to other regions in Argentina. Genetic analyses of genome sequences allowed us to describe the mutational patterns of the Argentine Lambda sequences and detect the emergence of rare mutations in an immunocompromised patient. Our study highlights the importance of genomic surveillance in identifying the introduction and geographical distribution of the SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant, as well as in monitoring the emergence of mutations that could be involved in the evolutionary leaps that characterize variants of concern.

    Abstract Ferroptosis is an oxidative and iron-dependent form of regulated cell death (RCD) recently described in eukaryotic organisms like animals, plants, and parasites. Here, we report that a similar process takes place in the photosynthetic prokaryote Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 in response to heat stress. After a heat shock, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cells undergo a cell death pathway that can be suppressed by the canonical ferroptosis inhibitors, CPX, vitamin E, Fer-1, liproxstatin-1, glutathione (GSH), or ascorbic acid (AsA). Moreover, as described for eukaryotic ferroptosis, this pathway is characterized by an early depletion of the antioxidants GSH and AsA, and by lipid peroxidation. These results indicate that all of the hallmarks described for eukaryotic ferroptosis are conserved in photosynthetic prokaryotes and suggest that ferroptosis might be an ancient cell death program.

    Abstract Ductile failure is studied in a bcc HfNbTaZr High Entropy Alloy (HEA) with a pre-existing void. Using molecular dynamics simulations of uniaxial tensile tests, we explore the effect of void radius on the elastic modulus and yield stress. The elastic modulus scales with porosity as in closed-cell foams. The critical stress for dislocation nucleation as a function of the void radius is very well described by a model designed after pure bcc metals, taking into account a larger core radius for the HEA. Twinning takes place as a complementary deformation mechanism, and some detwinning occurs at large strain. No solid-solid phase transitions are identified. The concurrent effects of element size mismatch and plasticity lead to significant lattice disorder. By comparing our HEA results to pure tantalum simulations, we show that the critical stress for dislocation nucleation and the resulting dislocation densities are much lower than for pure Ta, as expected from lower energy barriers due to chemical complexity

    Abstract Introduction The interleukin-6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory cytokine, supports the adaptive immune response and regulates inflammatory processes. The -174 G>C and -572 G>C promoter polymorphisms of the IL-6 gene take part in the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) and influence the clinical presentation of subarachnoid hemorrhage. This meta-analysis purposes to evaluate whether and which IL-6 allelic variations are related to a risk of IAs formation. Methods A PRISMA-based literature search was performed on the PubMed/Medline and Web of Science databases. The keywords used were "interleukin-6," "IL-6," "polymorphism," "interleukin-6 genotype," combined with "intracranial aneurysms" and "subarachnoid hemorrhage." Only human case-control studies, with a study (IAs) and a control group, written in English, and published in the last 15 years were selected. A meta-analysis was performed, estimating odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals in fixed- or random-effects models, as applicable. Statistical analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.0 software. Results 9 studies were eligible. No associations were found between -174 G>C polymorphisms and IAs susceptibility. Notable results were reported by the analysis of -572G>C polymorphisms. -572GG/GC/CC genotypes were strongly related to IAs occurrence with a statistical significance of p=0.03, p=0.0009, and p=0.00001, respectively. Conclusion A higher incidence of -572G>C promoter polymorphisms were demonstrated in the IAs group, highlighting the pivotal role of inflammatory genes in the natural history of brain aneurysms. Additional studies are required considering the racial heterogenicity and the need to widen the population sample.
