The major histocompatibility complex plays a crucial role in the immune response process, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors and organ transplantation. Cellular immunity occupies an important position in tumor immunity and organ transplantation immunity, while humoral immunity also plays a significant role in organ transplantation immunity. Organ transplantation requires the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance, while tumors develop immune escape phenomena during their progression. In-depth exploration and comparison of the mechanisms of tumor immune escape and organ transplantation immune tolerance are of great significance for formulating reasonable immune tolerance induction strategies, improving the quality of life and prolonging the survival time of organ transplant patients.

Objective:To observe the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the morphology, proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, and immune response function of mouse retinal photoreceptor cells (661w cells).Methods:A cell experiment. Logarithmic growth phase 661w cells were cultured in vitro and transfected with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) overexpressing lentivirus to construct ACE2 overexpressing 661w cells that could be infected with SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus (hereafter referred to as 'pseudovirus’). The 661w cells were divided into three groups: the normal group (untreated), the siACE2 group (overexpressing ACE2 and not infected with the pseudovirus) and the infected group (overexpressing ACE2 and infected with the pseudovirus), in which the infected group was 5 TU/ml pseudovirus group, 15 TU/ml pseudovirus group, 30 TU/ml pseudovirus group and 50 TU/ml pseudovirus group, and the cells were infected with the pseudovirus for 12, 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. The infected group was infected with 5 TU/ml pseudovirus group, 15 TU/ml pseudovirus group, 30 TU/ml pseudovirus group and 50 TU/ml pseudovirus group, respectively, for 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. Fluorescence microscopy was used to observe the transfection efficiency of ACE2; protein immunoblotting (Western blot) was used to detect the relative expression level of ACE2 in the cells; light microscope was used to observe the morphology of the cells in the normal and the infected groups; cell proliferation was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay; flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle; Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were used to detect the relative expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), B lymphocytoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X-protein (Bax) proteins and mRNA in the cells of siACE2 group, infected group (30 TU/ml pseudovirus group); qPCR was used to detect the relative expression of nuclear factor ( NF)- κB1 and NF-κB2, as well as NF- kB enhancer ( P65) and precursor protein ( P100) in cells of the siACE2 group and the infected group (30 TU/ml pseudovirus group). One-way ANOVA was used for comparison between multiple groups; t-test was used for comparison between two groups. Results:Compared with the siACE2 group, the cells in the infected group showed different degrees of crumpling, and with the increase of the concentration and time of pseudovirus induction, the crumpling of the cells worsened, and the number of cells decreased. Compared with the normal group, the cells in the infected group showed a gradual decrease in cell viability with the prolongation of pseudovirus induction time, and the difference was no statistically significant ( F=0.840, 0.412, 1.498, 1.138; P>0.05), and the apoptotic index of the cells induced in the 30 and 50 TU/ml pseudovirus group was significantly elevated, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=2.523, 6.716, 3.477, 3.421; P<0.05). At 72 h of pseudovirus induction, compared with the siACE2 group, the G1 phase cells in the 30 TU/ml pseudovirus group were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.812, P<0.05); the relative expression of IL-6, TNF-α, Bax protein and mRNA in the cells was up-regulated ( t=7.601, 6.039, 3.088, 5.193, 6.427, 7.667; P<0.05), the relative expression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA was down-regulated ( t=3.614, 6.777; P<0.05), and the relative expression of NF-κB1, NF-κB2, P65, and P100 mRNA was significantly up-regulated with statistically significant differences ( t=3.550, 3.074, 3.307, 4.218; P<0.05). Conclusion:SARS-CoV-2 infection may inhibit photoreceptor cell proliferation, promote apoptosis and cycle blockade by activating the NF-κB signalling pathway.

Objective:To explore the differences of gene expression profiles of precursors of exhausted T cells (Tpex) and terminal exhausted T cells (Tex) in the peripheral blood of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (ATB).Methods:Twenty-five cases of ATB, 13 cases of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and 10 health controls were enrolled from January 2021 to October 2022 in the Fifth People′s Hospital of Wuxi. The proportions of Tpex and Tex in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of the three groups were detected by flowcytometry. PBMCs of ATB were separated into Tpex and Tex by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. RNA-sequencing was performed and up-regulated and down-regulated genes were screended. Differently expressed genes were analyzed by gene set enrichment analysis of gene ontology (GO) to find regulatory pathways affecting cell metabolism and function. Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn multiple comparsion test were used for statistical analysis.Results:The proportion of Tpex in ATB group was 2.86%(1.74%), which was lower than 7.93%(6.16%) of Tex, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.91, P<0.001). The proportions of Tpex and Tex in LTBI group were 9.47%(6.26%) and 7.43%(5.48%), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( Z=-0.93, P=0.345). The proportions of Tpex and Tex in healthy control group were 8.42%(2.69%) and 6.49%(5.14%), respectively, with no statistical significance ( Z=-1.36, P=0.170). There was statistical difference of the proportion of Tpex among the three groups ( H=21.93, P<0.001), and the proportion of Tpex in ATB group was lower than those in LTBI and heathy control groups, and the differences were both statistically significant ( Z=4.16, P<0.001 and Z=3.34, P=0.003, respectively), while the proportions of Tex in these three groups were not statistically different ( H=2.17, P=0.338). Compared with Tex, the gene expressions of memory markers, such as B-cell lymphoma 2 of Tpex were up-regulated, and the gene expressions of exhausted markers, such as lymphocyte activation gene 3 were down-regulated. In terms of cellular metabolism, the gene expressions of mitochondrial protein complex, mitochondrial matrix and oxidative phosphorylation of Tpex were up-regulated, and the gene expressions of glycolysis were down-regulated. The gene expressions of pyruvate metabolism in Tex were up-regulated, and the gene expressions of CD4 + T lymphocyte activation and differentiation and glycolytic process in Tpex were down-regulated. Conclusions:Tpex in ATB express more characteristics of memory cells and less features of exhausted markers compared with Tex, and the function of mitochondria of Tpex preserves well.

Objective To explore the relationship between the polymorphism of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) C8092A locus and the efficacy and prognosis of platinum-based chemotherapy for lung cancer (LC), and to provide a theoretical basis for precision treatment of LC. Methods From January 2014 to October 2017, 120 patients from two tertiary hospitals in Haikou City, and with pathologically confirmed lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy were selected as the research objects. After informed consent was obtained, peripheral blood samples were collected for DNA extraction, and the genotype of ERCC1 C8092A locus was detected by mass spectrometry. WHO's Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) was used to judge patients' chemotherapy efficacy and patients' survival status was obtained by telephone follow-up and other means. Results Among the 120 LC patients, the genotype frequencies of ERCC1 C8092A locus were 67 cases of CC wildtype (55.8%), 45 cases of CA heterozygous type (37.5%), and 8 cases of AA rare mutation type (6.7%), which conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (χ2=0.140, P>0.05). The total effective rate of chemotherapy was 32.5%, with the highest effective rate in patients with the CA genotype (42.2%) at the ERCC1 C8092A locus and the lowest in patients with the CC genotype (25.4%). The overall one-year survival rate was 68.3% and the three-year survival rate was 35.8%. The patients with ERCC1 C8092A AA genotype had the lowest survival rate, with a one-year survival rate of 50.0% and three-year survival rate of only 25.0%. However, there were no statistical differences in the overall survival rate among the three genotypes of carriers of ERCC1 C8092A (χ2=0.328, P=0.849). Conclusions The polymorphism of ERCC1 C8092A locus is associated with the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy for LC, and patients with CA genotype have the highest efficacy. The one-year and three-year survival rates of patients with CC genotype are significantly higher than those of CA and AA genotypes.
