Metagenomic analysis of gut microbiota diversity in poultry before and after antibiotic administration by O. V. Prasolova, N. I. Malik, I. A. Timofeeva, N. A. Kirsanova, E. V. Krylova, E. V. Malik, I. A. Rusanov, N. A. Chupakhina

“…The diversity of gut microbiota is an important ecological resource that plays a key role in maintenance of the host homeostasis. It is extremely important to preserve the existing gut microbiota diversity, which ensures its resistance to the negative effects of abiotic factors, while the study of the antibiotic role in the disturbance of microbiota diversity is a fundamental basis used not only to identify aspects responsible for microbiota-associated poultry diseases, but also to learn techniques of microbiota management. …”

Increased SOAT2 expression in aged regulatory T cells is associated with altered cholesterol metabolism and reduced anti-tumor immunity by Mingjiong Zhang, Jiahua Cui, Haoyan Chen, Yifan Cheng, Qiaoyu Chen, Feng Zong, Xiao Lu, Lang Qin, Yu Han, Xingwang Kuai, Yuxing Zhang, Minjie Chu, Shuangshuang Wu, Jianqing Wu

“…Mechanically, ex vivo human and mouse Treg cell data and in vivo mouse tumor models suggest that SOAT2 overexpression in Treg cells promotes cholesterol metabolism by activating the SREBP2-HMGCR-GGPP pathway, leading to enhanced Treg suppresser functions but reduced CD8+ T cell proliferation, migration, homeostasis and anti-tumor immunity. Our study thus identifies a potential mechanism responsible for altered Treg function in the context of immune aging, and also implicates SOAT2 as a potential target for tumor immunotherapy.…”
