    Abstract Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a population of lymphoid cells that do not express T cell or B cell antigen-specific receptors. They are largely tissue-resident and enriched at mucosal sites to play a protective role against pathogens. ILCs mimic the functions of CD4 T helper (Th) subsets. Type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) are defined by the expression of signature cytokine IFN-γ and the master transcription factor T-bet, involving in the type 1 immune response; ILC2s are characterized by the expression of signature cytokine IL-5/IL-13 and the master transcription factor GATA3, participating in the type 2 immune response; ILC3s are RORγt-expressing cells and are capable of producing IL-22 and IL-17 to maintain intestinal homeostasis. The discovery and investigation of ILCs over the past decades extends our knowledge beyond classical adaptive and innate immunology. In this review, we will focus on the roles of ILCs in intestinal inflammation and related disorders.

    Abstract The effects of postharvest ripening of corn on the mechanisms of starch and protein interactions were investigated using molecular dynamics and several chemical substances. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) treatment all significantly affected the starch content, molecular weight of proteins, relative crystallinity, pasting characteristics and dynamic viscoelasticity in samples before and after postharvest ripening. In the corn that had not undergone postharvest ripening, there were also significant electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds between starch and protein. In addition, molecular dynamics had demonstrated that the forces between starch and protein in corn were mainly hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interaction, and hydrogen bonds. Compared with zein, corn glutelin was more tightly bound to starch. The binding energy of starch to both proteins was reduced in after postharvest-ripened corn. This study laid a rationale for investigating the change mechanism of corn postharvest ripening quality and improving processing property and edible quality of corn.

    Abstract Both the absence of autophagy and excessive autophagy is double-edged sword in tumorigenesis. Due to the specificity of autophagy, its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is still unclear. In this study, we established five autophagy-related patterns in 1165 HNSCC patients with distinct cellular and molecular characteristics. Additionally, we developed a new scoring system (ATPscore) based on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among these five patterns, to represent the individual autophagy regulation pattern. ATPscore was shown to be significantly correlated with tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) infiltration, immune phenotypes, molecular subtypes, and genetic variations. We further found that ATPscore was both an independent prognostic factor and a potent predictor of clinical response to immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) based immunotherapy. We further verified the value of key gene SRPX in ATPscore in HNSCC cell lines with the in-depth research of ATPscore and found that it is closely related to immune subtypes, molecular subtypes, and immune activation-related markers. Our research could help us to understand the underlying mechanisms of tumor immunity and provide a solid foundation for combination of autophagy-targeted therapies with immunotherapies for clinical application in HNSCC.

    Abstract Xylanases are the preferred enzymes for the extracting of oligosaccharides from wheat bran. However, free xylanases have poor stability and are difficult to reuse, which limit their industrial application. In the present study, we covalently immobilized free maleic anhydride-modified xylanase (FMA-XY) to improve its reusability and stability. The immobilized maleic anhydride-modified xylanase (IMA-XY) exhibited better stability compared with the free enzyme. After six repeated uses, 52.24% of the activity of the immobilized enzyme remained. The wheat bran oligosaccharides extracted using IMA-XY were mainly xylopentoses, xylohexoses, and xyloheptoses, which were the β-configurational units and α-configurational units of xylose. The oligosaccharides also exhibited good antioxidant properties. The results indicated that FMA-XY can easily be recycled and can remain stable after immobilization; therefore, it has good prospects for future industrial applications.

    Abstract At presently, the catalytic activity of xylanase is sub-optimal, and the required reaction conditions are harsh. To improve its catalytic activity and stability, xylanase (XY) was chemically modified with maleic anhydride (MA). The enzymatic properties of this maleic anhydride-modified xylanase (MA-XY) were then evaluated and analyzed spectroscopically. The results showed that the thermal stability, use of organic solvents, storage stability and the pH range of 3.0 to 9.0 for MA-XY were better than that for XY alone. The kinetic parameters of the enzyme (K

    Abstract The importance of starch in nutrition and industry is unquestionable. This study investigated the changes in physicochemical, structural, and functional properties of cornstarch from newly harvested Zhengdan958 (Zd958) and Xianyu335 (Xy335) corn during for 0, 20, 40, and 60 d at ambient temperature. The results showed no significant changes in the proximate components and apparent structure of Zd958 and Xy335 cornstarch under postharvest ripening conditions. Compared with 0 d, the molecular weight distribution and mass fraction of Zd958 and Xy335 cornstarch have changed significantly, the relative crystallinity (RC) has significantly increased from 26.4% to 26.5%-28.8% and 28.4%, and R1045/1022 has significantly increased from 0.828 to 0.826 to 0.843 and 0.883, respectively. The changes in structure indicated that the synthesis and rearrangement of cornstarch molecules formed highly ordered crystalline structures, and the ordered structures of long-range and short-range molecules increased. Moreover, the changes in structure affected the pasting characteristics and texture profiles of cornstarch, therefore, affecting the final food quality.
