The Role of NLRP1, AIM2 and MEFV Inflammasomes in the High‐Intensity Interval Training of Individuals With Obesity

open access: yesImmunology, EarlyView.
This study shows that 8 weeks of high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) modulate inflammasome‐related gene expression in individuals with obesity. HIIT increased AIM2, MEFV, CARD16 and CARD18 expression, with CARD16 upregulation supporting reduced inflammation through inhibition of caspase‐1 activation and lower IL‐1β levels.

Causal association between circulating leukocyte characteristics and diabetic retinopathy based on two‐sample Mendelian randomization

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
A schematic representation of the two‐sample Mendelian randomization framework used to investigate the causal association between circulating leukocyte traits and diabetic retinopathy. ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Leukocytes are implicated in the inflammatory cascades of diabetic retinopathy (DR), but their causal roles remain ambiguous.

Rice blast pathogen effector AvrPib compromises disease resistance by targeting Raf‐like protein kinase OsMAPKKK72 to inhibit MAPK signaling

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice Raf‐like protein kinase OsMAPKKK72 acts as a scaffold to modulate MAPK signaling. To invade rice plants, the blast fungus delivers the effector AvrPib to target OsMAPKKK72, suppressing MAPK activation and rice blast resistance. ABSTRACT Phytopathogens, such as the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, suppress plant immunity for reproduction ...

An NLR paralog Pit2 generated from tandem duplication of Pit1 fine-tunes Pit1 localization and function

open access: yesNature Communications
NLR family proteins act as intracellular receptors. Gene duplication amplifies the number of NLR genes, and subsequent mutations occasionally provide modifications to the second gene that benefits immunity.

Gaining extensive resistance against clubroot disease through the disruption of a susceptibility gene

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This Commentary examines research by Wu et al. showing that β‐1,3‐glucan synthase‐like 5 (GSL5) functions as a key gene for susceptibility to clubroot in Brassica family members by suppressing immunity regulated by jasmonic acid. Inaction of GSL5 through genome editing provides broad‐spectrum resistance to clubroot.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes
