Evaluation of ivermectin effectiveness under contrasting anthelmintic resistance scenarios in beef cattle: a comparative study in Italy and Argentina

Beef cattle farming plays a crucial role in the livestock-related economies of both Italy and Argentina. Although both countries have grazing systems of meat production, the heterogeneity of those systems leads to different parasitological scenarios regarding epidemiology and the presence of resistance to commonly used anthelmintic drugs. Considering ivermectin (IVM) is the most widely used anthelmintic for treating gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections in cattle, the current studies evaluated the efficacy of ivermectin (IVM) given subcutaneously (SC) to both young calves and adult cows in ten (10) commercial cattle farms from Italy (A to E) and Argentina (F to J). The work was complemented with the assessment of the IVM plasma exposure and disposition kinetics both in young and adult animals. While adult cows and young calves were included in the study performed in Italy (Campania region), only calves aged 8-14 months old were selected to perform the efficacy trials in Argentina (central area of the Buenos Aires province). Fifteen (15) calves/cows naturally infected with GINs were treated with IVM (0.2 mg/kg) in each of the Farms. The therapeutic response (efficacy) was determined at 14 days after treatment by the faecal egg count reduction test. Six (6) adult cows and eight (8) young calves treated with IVM were randomly selected to perform the pharmacokinetic (PK) study with blood samples being taken 2 h and 21 days post-treatment. Drug concentrations were measured by HPLC. Similar IVM PK trends were obtained for both adult and young cattle. The IVM systemic exposure (expressed as AUC) obtained for adult cattle (380{+/-}158 ng.d/mL) was similar to that observed in calves group (313{+/-}85.5 ng.d/mL). No statistical differences between animals from both ages were observed for the most representative PK parameters (P>0.05). Surprisingly, while in Argentina IVM resistance was present in all the farms evaluated (90% CI = 0%-95%), in Italy a fully susceptible nematode population was presented in three farms (90% CI = 96%-100%) and only a very low level of IVM resistance was detected in the rest of the farms (90% CI = 92%-98%). Whereas Cooperia spp. and Haemonchus spp. were identified as the principal genera exhibiting resistance to IVM in Argentina, Cooperia spp., Ostertagia spp., and Oesophagostomum spp. were reported to display low levels of resistance under the Italian field scenario. In conclusion, IVM can be safely and effectively used in both young and adult cattle with similar disposition kinetic patterns. While its therapeutic response is failing under the conditions investigated in the Argentinian farms, its efficacy remains notably high in the Italian region under study. However, the use of IVM, as well any other active antiparasitic principle, should always be preceded by a diagnostic assessment of the nematode populations resistance status.

Klf4 overexpression remodels chromatin to reprogram late retinal progenitors toward an retinal ganglion cell-like fate

Developing neuron-replacement therapies for retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) lost to injury or disease requires a deeper understanding of how restriction to cell identity acquisition may be overcome. Previously, we showed that overexpression of Klf4 in late retinal progenitor cells (late RPCs), which are normally restricted from RGC production, is sufficient to produce cells that display a subset of canonical RGC properties including RGC-associated gene expression and morphological features. In the present study, we investigated the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms by which Klf4 overexpression influences the fate of cell types generated from late RPCs. scRNA-seq analysis revealed that Klf4 induces transcriptional changes, with some cells exhibiting gene expression profiles similar to those of resident RGCs. In addition, we observed widespread changes in chromatin accessibility, suggesting that KLF4 remodels the chromatin of late RPCs and influences their transcriptional profile. Our findings show KLF4-driven reprogramming of late RPCs, providing insight into progenitor competence and fate specification to an RGC-like identity. These results suggest that KLF4 could be a component in regenerative therapies due to its ability to reprogram and induce RGC genes outside of the normal RGC developmental window.

Integrated single cell multiomic profiling and functional validation reveal distinct cellular routes to human plasma cell differentiation.

Upon activation, B cells undergo profound transcriptional, epigenetic, and metabolic reprogramming to form antibody secreting plasma cells bearing little resemblance to their progenitors. Here, we used single cell RNA and ATAC sequencing of primary and in vitro differentiating human B cells to identify multiple distinct plasma cell subsets and differentiation routes depending on the starting cell type. In primary tonsils, we observed two distinct plasma cell subsets distinguished by expression of CD44 variant 9 (CD44v9), CD38, CD31, and CD10. A transient and rare CD30+ intermediate was identified both in primary tonsils and in vitro. CD40, TLR9, and cytokine stimulation of naive and memory B cells yielded CD30+ cells, which then formed plasma cells that were exclusively CD44v9+. CD30+ intermediates were not generated from primary germinal center B cells as they differentiated into plasma cells, which mostly lacked expression of CD44v9. Analysis of single cell multiomic data and pharmacological inhibition experiments demonstrated that the CD30+ intermediate was promoted by the transcription factor MEF2C. BAFF and APRIL promoted further maturation of these cells to CD44v9+ plasma cells. These data suggest that human germinal center-independent and -dependent ontogenies are biased towards distinct differentiation routes and terminal plasma cells.

Early, adjuvant-responsive epigenetic programs in B cells imprint subsequent plasma cell survival and the duration of humoral immunity

The duration of antibody production varies across different infections and vaccines. To define molecular programs that promote durable humoral immunity, we used mice deficient in ZBTB20, a transcription factor that is highly expressed by plasma cells and required to maintain antibody production in vivo. However, genetic deletion of Zbtb20 in long-lived plasma cells had no impact on the duration of antibody production. Instead, deletion of Zbtb20 in B cells only within the first week after immunization caused a subsequent failure to maintain plasma cells. Through single cell ATAC-sequencing, we observed elevated IRF8- and Ets-dependent epigenetic programs in ZBTB20-deficient B cells at 7 days post-immunization, whereas the corresponding transcriptional changes manifested ~1 week later. Switching from alum to an oil-in-water adjuvant suppressed Ets-dependent epigenetic programs and rescued ZBTB20-deficient antibody responses. Deletion of Irf8 also rescued ZBTB20-deficient antibody responses. Thus, B cell-intrinsic epigenetic programs imprint durable antibody production at a very early stage, prior to major transcriptional consequences and weeks before most long-lived plasma cells are formed.

Integrated Approach to Investigate Magnetite Cycle in Marine Methanic Sediments

Magnetite (Fe3O4), a ubiquitous sedimentary iron mineral, is crucial for paleomagnetic records preservation. However, reactive ferric iron minerals, including magnetite, can undergo reduction in aquatic sediments above and within the sulfidic zone and at the Sulfate-Methane Transition Zone (SMTZ), resulting in the production of dissolved ferrous iron. Partial reoxidation of the reduced iron at the oxic-anoxic interface can lead to authigenic magnetite precipitation. Yet, magnetite persistence and behavior in deeper methanic sediments have remained poorly understood. Here we explore magnetite dynamics in different sub-methanic zones (deeper, middle and upper) of Mediterranean continental shelf sediments, including the potential for its authigenic precipitation. Sequential extractions revealed increasing magnetite concentrations accompanied by low-temperature magnetization (Verwey transition). First-order reversal curve (FORC) analyses supported nanoscale authigenic magnetite presence. The results highlight a net increase in single-domain magnetite in the middle methanic zone with declines in the upper and deeper zones. Microbial analyses pointed to iron reduction throughout the methanic zone, alongside potential precipitation of magnetite and a decline in methanogenesis functional genes. Sediment incubations with spiked 57Fe-ferrihydrite showed gross precipitation of isotopically enriched 57Fe-magnetite in the upper methanic zone. Our combined findings distinguish between gross and net magnetite precipitation, suggesting authigenic magnetite formation within the methanic zone, with reshaping and smoothing of the original magnetic signal. They also emphasize the limitations of relying on a single-method approach to unravel such complex processes. We propose that the methanic zone plays a critical role in the early diagenesis of magnetic minerals, driven by dynamic cycles of magnetite dissolution and authigenic precipitation.

CD11c-expressing microglia are transient, driven by interactions with apoptotic cells

Microglia, the parenchymal macrophage of the central nervous system serve crucial remodeling functions throughout development. Microglia are transcriptionally heterogenous, suggesting that distinct microglial states confer discrete roles. Currently, little is known about how dynamic these states are, the cues that promote them, or how they impact microglial function. In the developing retina, we previously found a significant proportion of microglia express CD11c (Integrin X, complement receptor 4, Itgax) which has also been reported in other developmental and disease contexts. Here, we sought to understand the regulation and function of CD11c+ microglia. We found that CD11c+ microglia track with prominent waves of neuronal apoptosis in postnatal retina. Using genetic fate mapping, we provide evidence that microglia transition out of the CD11c state to return to homeostasis. We show that CD11c+ microglia have elevated lysosomal content and contribute to the clearance of apoptotic neurons, and found that acquisition of CD11c expression is, in part, dependent upon the TAM receptor Axl. Using selective ablation, we found CD11c+ microglia are not uniquely critical for phagocytic clearance of apoptotic cells. Together, our data suggest CD11c+ microglia are a transient state induced by developmental apoptosis rather than a specialized subset mediating phagocytic elimination.

Pou4f2/Brn3b Overexpression Promotes The Genesis Of Retinal Ganglion Cell-Like Projection Neurons From Late Progenitors

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the projection neurons of the retina. In early retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), Atoh7 orchestrates the developmental RGC program and regulates the expression of critical downstream targets, including Pou4f factors. The absence of Pou4f2 or more POU4F family genes results in defects in RGC differentiation, aberrant axonal elaboration and ultimately RGC death, confirming the requirement of POU4F factors for RGC development and survival, with a critical role in regulating RGC axon outgrowth and pathfinding. Here, we investigated in vivo whether ectopic Pou4f2 expression in late retinal progenitor cells (late RPCs) is sufficient to induce the generation of cells with RGC properties, including projecting axons to the brain. Using a strong ubiquitous promoter to induce Pou4f2 overexpression in neonates, we observed a change in targeted cell distribution in the retinal tissue, including the presence of cells in the ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer with high density of GFP+ processes along the retina. Similar results on the induction of neuron processes were obtained when we overexpressed Pou4f2 in Atoh7 knockout mice, suggesting that POU4F2 is sufficient to induce them. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis shows that several RGC-genes (such as Rbpms, Gap-43, Hs6st3, and Foxp2) are upregulated after Pou4f2 overexpression. Additionally, gene ontology analysis indicates the induction of genes related to axonogenesis and neuronal differentiation. Imaging throughout the visual pathway revealed high density of axons projecting toward the optic nerve head and extending to brain regions, such as the superior colliculus and geniculate nucleus. Thus, Pou4f2 induced neurons with specific RGC characteristics that share similarities with resident RGCs and notably project axons that reach brain targets. In conclusion, these results showed that POU4F2 alone was sufficient to promote critical properties of projection neurons from retinal progenitors outside their developmental window.

Decipher: A computational pipeline to extract context-specific mechanistic insights from single-cell profiles

The advent of single-cell profiling technologies has revolutionized our understanding of the cellular and molecular states that underpin disease. However, current computational tools struggle to recover both known and novel mechanistic insights at distinct layers of biological regulation. Here, we present Decipher, a novel computational pipeline that builds integrated cell signalling networks from single-cell profiles in a context-specific, data-driven manner and identifies the key cellular and molecular events that drive disease. We benchmarked Decipher against existing tools and found it could recover known, experimentally determined cytokine signalling pathways, whilst maintaining the flexibility to detect novel pathways and context-specific effects. Notably, Decipher produces global cell-to-cell signalling maps that are interpretable. We utilised Decipher to unveil the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving a novel population of inflammatory monocytes enriched with interferon stimulated genes that is markedly increased in frequency following secondary immunization with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. Finally, we employed Decipher to interrogate regulon profiles from covid-19 patients with mild versus severe disease, and we found that progression to severe disease was associated with a loss of interferon signalling transcription factors (Irf7, Irf9, STAT1, STAT2) and a gain of factors that drive inflammation and cellular stress responses (NFkB, HIF-1a, ATF3, ATF4). Taken together, our findings demonstrate that Decipher can decode signalling pathways and report on ligand-receptor mediated transcription factor-target gene networks that underlie processes in homeostasis, disease, and cellular responses to therapies. We present Decipher as an invaluable new tool for the discovery of novel therapeutic targets and the development of new medicines.

Single cell transcriptomics reveals cell type specific features of developmentally regulated responses to lipopolysaccharide between birth and 5 years.

Human perinatal life is characterized by a period of extraordinary change during which newborns encounter abundant environmental stimuli and exposure to potential pathogens. To meet such challenges, the neonatal immune system is equipped with unique functional characteristics that adapt to changing conditions as development progresses across the early years of life, but the molecular characteristics of such adaptations remain poorly understood. The application of single cell genomics to birth cohorts provides an opportunity to investigate changes in gene expression programs elicited downstream of innate immune activation across early life at unprecedented resolution. In this study, we performed single cell RNA-sequencing of mononuclear cells collected from matched birth cord blood and 5-year peripheral blood samples following stimulation (18hrs) with two well-characterized innate stimuli; lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (Poly(I:C)). We found that the transcriptional response to LPS was constrained at birth and predominantly partitioned into classical proinflammatory gene upregulation primarily by monocytes and IFN-signaling gene upregulation by lymphocytes. Moreover, these responses featured substantial cell-to-cell communication which appeared markedly strengthened between birth and 5 years. In contrast, stimulation with Poly(I:C) induced a robust IFN-signalling response across all cell types identified at birth and 5 years. Analysis of gene regulatory networks revealed IRF1 and STAT1 were key drivers of the LPS-induced IFN-signaling response in lymphocytes with a potential developmental role for IRF7 regulation. Additionally, we observed distinct activation trajectory endpoints for monocytes derived from LPS-treated cord and 5-year blood, which was not apparent among Poly(I:C)-induced monocytes. Taken together, our findings provide new insight into the gene regulatory landscape of immune cell function between birth and 5 years and point to regulatory mechanisms relevant to future investigation of infection susceptibility in early life.

Geldanamycin treatment does not result in anti-cancer activity in a preclinical model of orthotopic mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is characterised by its aggressive invasive behaviour, affecting the surrounding tissues of the pleura or peritoneum. We compared an invasive pleural model with a non-invasive subcutaneous model of mesothelioma and performed transcriptomic analyses on the tumour samples. Invasive pleural tumours were characterised by a transcriptomic signature enriched for genes associated with MEF2C and MYOCD signaling, muscle differentiation and myogenesis. Further analysis using the CMap and LINCS databases identified geldanamycin as a potential antagonist of this signature, so we evaluated its potential in vitro and in vivo. Nanomolar concentrations of geldanamycin significantly reduced cell growth, invasion, and migration in vitro. However, administration of geldanamycin in vivo did not result in significant anti-cancer activity. Our findings show that myogenesis and muscle differentiation pathways are upregulated in pleural mesothelioma which may be related to the invasive behaviour. However, geldanamycin as a single agent does not appear to be a viable treatment for mesothelioma.

Neuronal apoptosis drives remodeling states of microglia and shifts in survival pathway dependence

Microglia serve critical remodeling roles that shape the developing nervous system, responding to the changing neural environment with phagocytosis or soluble factor secretion. Recent single-cell sequencing (scRNAseq) studies have revealed the context-dependent diversity in microglial properties and gene expression, but the cues promoting this diversity are not well defined. Here, we ask how interactions with apoptotic neurons shape microglial state, including lysosomal and lipid metabolism gene expression and independence from Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) for survival. Using early postnatal mouse retina, a CNS region undergoing significant developmental remodeling, we performed scRNAseq on microglia from mice that are wild-type, lack neuronal apoptosis (Bax KO), or are treated with CSF1R inhibitor (PLX3397). We find that interactions with apoptotic neurons drives multiple microglial remodeling states, subsets of which are resistant to CSF1R inhibition. We find that TAM receptor Mer and complement receptor 3 are required for clearance of apoptotic neurons, but that Mer does not drive expression of remodeling genes. We show TAM receptor Axl is negligible for phagocytosis or remodeling gene expression but is consequential for microglial survival in the absence of CSF1R signaling. Thus, interactions with apoptotic neurons shift microglia towards distinct remodeling states and through Axl, alters microglial dependence on survival pathway, CSF1R.

Early-life respiratory viral infection results in impairment of adult lung function

Respiratory viral infections in early-life are linked to the development of chronic lung diseases that persist into adulthood. The aim of this study was to develop a mouse model of early-life respiratory viral infection that would lead to impaired lung function in adulthood. BALB/c pups were infected at seven days of life with one of the following respiratory viruses: influenza A/Mem/1/71 "M71", influenza A/Puerto Rico/8/34 "PR8" or attenuated mengovirus "Mengo". Lung function and airways responsiveness (AHR) to methacholine were assessed seven weeks later, using the forced oscillation technique, and data were compared between male and female mice. PR8 infection was associated with significantly increased responsiveness to methacholine (for airway resistance, tissue damping, tissue elastance and hystersivity) for both sexes. M71 infection resulted in less severe responses especially in adult males. Early-life Mengo infection led to significantly higher responsiveness to MCh for males only (for airway resistance and tissue damping), suggesting sex dependant effects in lung function parameters measured. In summary, we have established a murine model where respiratory viral infection on day seven of life leads to AHR in adulthood. Importantly, the model recapitulates key variations in susceptibility related to sex and nature of viral pathogen that have previously been observed in human epidemiological studies. Our findings reveal new insights into the early origins of AHR and provide a tractable model system for future studies to unlock the mechanisms that determine pathogenesis.

Transplacentally mediated immune training to accelerate fetal immune competence

We recently reported that the offspring of mice treated during pregnancy with the microbial-derived immunomodulator OM-85 manifest striking resistance postnatally to allergic airways inflammation, and localised the potential treatment target to the fetal cDC progenitor compartment which expands to increase the pool of precursors available at birth, enabling accelerated postnatal seeding of the lung mucosal cDC network required for establishment of immunological homeostasis in the airways. Here, we profile maternal OM-85 treatment-associated transcriptomic signatures in fetal bone marrow, and identify a series of immunometabolic pathways which provide essential metabolites for accelerated myelopoiesis, that are hallmarks of classical "immune training". In addition, the cDC progenitor compartment displayed treatment-associated activation of the XBP1-ERN1 signalling axis which has previously been shown to be essential for tissue survival of cDC, particularly within the lung microenvironment. Our forerunner studies indicate uniquely rapid turnover of airway mucosal cDCs at baseline, with further large-scale upregulation of population dynamics during aeroallergen and/or pathogen challenge. XBP1-ERN1 signalling plays a key role in mitigation of ER stress-associated toxicity which frequently accompanies DC hyper-activation during intense immunoinflammatory responses, and we suggest that enhanced capacity for XBP1-ERN1-dependent cDC survival within the airway mucosal tissue microenvironment may be a crucial element of the OM-85-mediated transplacental "innate immune training" process which results in enhanced resistance to airway inflammatory disease during the high-risk early postnatal period.

Rewiring of Th-memory-associated gene co-expression networks underlie immunotherapy-induced changes in symptom expression in mite-sensitised atopics

BackgroundMultiple regulatory mechanisms have been identified employing conventional hypothesis-driven approaches as contributing to allergen-specific immunotherapy outcomes, but understanding of how these integrate to maintain immunological homeostasis is incomplete. ObjectiveTo explore the potential for unbiased systems-level gene co-expression network analysis to advance understanding of immunotherapy mechanisms. MethodsWe profiled genome-wide allergen-specific Th-memory responses prospectively across 24mths of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in 25 rhinitics, documenting changes in immunoinflammatory pathways and associated co-expression networks and their relationships to symptom scores to 36mths. ResultsPrior to immunotherapy, mite-specific Th-memory response networks involved multiple discrete co-expression modules including those related to Th2-, Type1-IFN-, Inflammation-, and FOXP3/IL2-associated signalling. A signature comprising 109 genes correlated with symptom scores, and these mapped to cytokine signalling/T-cell activation-associated pathways, with upstream drivers including hallmark Th1/Th2-and inflammation-associated genes. Reanalysis after 3.5mths SCIT updosing detected minimal changes to pathway/upstream regulator profiles despite 32.5% reduction in symptoms, however network analysis revealed underlying merging of FOXP3/IL2-with Inflammation-and Th2-associated modules. By 12mths on SCIT, symptoms had reduced by 41% without further significant changes to pathway/upstream regulator or network profiles. Continuing SCIT to 24mths stabilised symptoms at 47% of baseline, accompanied by upregulation of the Type1-IFN-associated network module and its merging into the Th2/FOXP3/IL2/Inflammation module. ConclusionsSCIT stimulates progressive integration of Th-memory-associated Th2-,FOXP3/IL2-, Inflammation-, and Type1-IFN-signalling subnetworks, forming a single highly integrated co-expression network module, maximising potential for stable homeostatic control of allergen-specific Th2 responses via cross-regulation. Th2-anatogonistic Type1-IFN signalling may play a key role in stabilising clinical effects of SCIT. Clinical ImplicationStabilisation of the clinical effectiveness of SCIT involves recruitment of Th2-antagonistic Type 1 IFN-dependent signalling into the overall gene co-expression network underlying the allergen-specific Th-memory response, and this does not occur until the 2nd year of treatment. Capsule summarySCIT-induced rewiring of the gene network governing allergen-specific Th2-memory, as opposed to selective upregulation of genes associated with regulatory functions, underlies the clinical effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Complement C3-targeted gene therapy restricts onset and progression of neurodegeneration in chronic mouse glaucoma

Dysregulation of the complement system is implicated in neurodegeneration, including human and animal glaucoma. Optic nerve and retinal damage in glaucoma is preceded by local complement upregulation and activation, but whether targeting this early innate immune response could have therapeutic benefit remains undefined. Because complement signals through three pathways that intersect at complement C3 activation, here we targeted this step to restore complement balance in the glaucomatous retina, and to determine its contribution to degeneration onset and/or progression. To achieve this, we combined adeno-associated viral retinal gene therapy with the targeted C3 inhibitor CR2-Crry. We show that intravitreal injection of AAV2.CR2-Crry produced sustained Crry overexpression in the retina, and reduced deposition of the activation product complement C3d on retinal ganglion cells and the inner retina of DBA/2J mice. This resulted in neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cell axons and somata despite continued intraocular pressure elevation, suggesting a direct restriction of neurodegeneration onset and progression, and significant delay to terminal disease stages. Our study uncovers a damaging effect of complement C3 or downstream complement activation in glaucoma and establishes AAV2.CR2-Crry as a viable therapeutic strategy to target pathogenic C3-mediated complement activation in the glaucomatous retina.

Airway IRF7hi versus IRF7lo molecular response patterns determine clinical phenotypes in children with acute wheezing

Asthma exacerbations are triggered by rhinovirus infections. We employed a systems biology approach to delineate upper airway gene network patterns underlying asthma exacerbation phenotypes in children. Cluster analysis unveiled distinct IRF7hi versus IRF7lo molecular phenotypes, the former exhibiting robust upregulation of Th1/type I interferon responses and the latter an alternative signature marked by upregulation of cytokine and growth factor signalling and downregulation of interferon gamma. The two phenotypes also produced distinct clinical phenotypes. For IRF7lo versus IRF7hi: symptom duration prior to hospital presentation was more than twice as long from initial symptoms (p=0.011) and nearly three times as long for cough (p<0.001); the odds ratio of admission to hospital was increased more than four-fold (p=0.018); and time to recurrence was shorter (p=0.015). In summary, our findings demonstrate that asthma exacerbations in children can be divided into IRF7hi versus IRF7lo phenotypes with associated differences in clinical phenotypes.\n\nAbbreviationsAHR, airway hyperresponsiveness; ARG1, Arginase 1, CSF3, Colony Stimulating Factor 3; CD38, Cluster of Differentiation 38; CD163, Cluster of Differentiation 163; cDCs, conventional (or myeloid) dendritic cells; DDX60, DExD/H-Box Helicase 60; ED, Emergency Department; EGF, Epidermal Growth Factor; ERK, Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase; FCER1G, Fc Fragment Of IgE Receptor Ig; HMBS, Hydroxymethylbilane Synthase; IFNg, Interferon Gamma; IFNL1, Interferon Lambda 1; IL-1R2, Interleukin 1 Receptor Type 2; IRF7, Interferon Regulatory Factor 7; ISG15, Interferon-stimulated gene 15; MDA5, Melanoma Differentiation-Associated protein 5; MX1, Myxovirus Resistance Protein 1; NAD, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; NCR1, Natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 1; OSM, Oncostatin M; PD-L1, Programmed Death-Ligand 1; PPIA, Peptidylprolyl Isomerase A; PPIB Peptidylprolyl Isomerase B; RSAD2, Radical S-adenosyl methionine domain-containing protein 2; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus; RT-qPCR, quantitative reverse transcription PCR; RV, rhinovirus; sPLA2, secretory Phospholipase A2; TGFb, Transforming Growth Factor beta; THBS1, Thrombospondin 1; TNF, Tumor Necrosis Factor; TLR2, Toll-like Receptor 2.
