An Integrated Multi-omics prediction model for stroke recurrence based on Lnet transformer layer and dynamic weighting mechanism.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Stroke is a disease with high mortality and disability. Importantly, the fatality rate demonstrates a significant increase among patients afflicted by recurrent strokes compared to those experiencing their initial stroke episode. Currently, the existing research encounters three primary challenges. The first is the lack of a reliable, multi-omics image dataset related to stroke recurrence. The second is how to establish a high-performance feature extraction model and eliminate noise from continuous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The third is how to integration multi-omics data and dynamically weighted for different omics data. METHODS: We systematically compiled MRI and conventional detection data from a cohort comprising 737 stroke patients and established PSTSZC, a multi-omics dataset for predicting stroke recurrence. We introduced the first-ever Integrated Multi-omics Prediction Model for Stroke Recurrence, MPSR, which is based on ResNet, Lnet-transformer, LSTM and dynamically weighted DNN. The MPSR model comprises two principal modules, the Feature Extraction Module, and the Integrated Multi-Omics Prediction Module. In the Feature Extraction module, we proposed a novel Lnet regularization layer, which effectively addresses noise issues in MRI data. In the Integrated Multi-omics Prediction Module, we propose a dynamic weighted mechanism based on evaluators, which mitigates the noise impact brought about by low-performance omics. RESULTS: We compared seven single-omics models and six state-of-the-art multi-omics stroke recurrence models. The experimental results demonstrate that the MPSR model exhibited superior performance. The accuracy, AUROC, specificity, and sensitivity of the MPSR model can reach 0.96, 0.97, 1, and 0.94, respectively, which is higher than the results of contrast model. CONCLUSION: MPSR is the first available high-performance multi-omics prediction model for stroke recurrence. We assert that the MPSR model holds the potential to function as a valuable tool in assisting clinicians in accurately diagnosing individuals with a predisposition to stroke recurrence.

Alterations of mouse gut microbiome in alveolar echinococcosis.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) may affect the composition of the host's gut microbiota, potentially disrupting the balance between the gut microbiota and metabolites. Metagenomics and untargeted metabolomics were employed to characterize changes in the gut microbiota and metabolites in mouse models infected with E. multilocularis. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to compare the distribution of microbiota and metabolites, revealing synergistic or mutually exclusive relationships. Functional outputs of the gut microbiota were explored using the CAZy database and six enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism were identified with statistically significant differential expression between infected and control groups. The resistome was characterized by identifying antibiotic resistance genes annotated in the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database from the metagenomes of the groups. Firmicutes are the main carrier of ARGs in the host gut with tetQ being most prevalent. Antibiotic efflux, inactivation and target modification were the principal mechanisms of resistance. Comparison and analysis of two sets of antibiotic metabolic pathways allowed the identification of enzyme reactions unique to infected mice. KEGG pathway overview shows phenazine biosynthesis involving phzG to be one of them. In conclusion, infection with AE in mice leads to an overall disruption of gut microbiota and metabolites with the involvement of enzymes related to carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, antibiotic-resistance genes may play a role in disease progression, offering potential insights into the relationship between antibiotic use in AE and treatment outcomes.

The AaBBX21-AaHY5 module mediates light-regulated artemisinin biosynthesis in Artemisia annua L.

The sesquiterpene lactone artemisinin is an important anti-malarial component produced by the glandular secretory trichomes of sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua L.). Light was previously shown to promote artemisinin production, but the underlying regulatory mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5), a central transcription factor in the light signaling pathway, cannot promote artemisinin biosynthesis on its own, as the binding of AaHY5 to the promoters of artemisinin biosynthetic genes failed to activate their transcription. Transcriptome analysis and yeast two-hybrid screening revealed the B-box transcription factor AaBBX21 as a potential interactor with AaHY5. AaBBX21 showed a trichome-specific expression pattern. Additionally, the AaBBX21-AaHY5 complex cooperatively activated transcription from the promoters of the downstream genes AaGSW1, AaMYB108, and AaORA, encoding positive regulators of artemisinin biosynthesis. Moreover, AaHY5 and AaBBX21 physically interacted with the A. annua E3 ubiquitin ligase CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1). In the dark, AaCOP1 decreased the accumulation of AaHY5 and AaBBX21 and repressed the activation of genes downstream of the AaHY5-AaBBX21 complex, explaining the enhanced production of artemisinin upon light exposure. Our study provides insights into the central regulatory mechanism by which light governs terpenoid biosynthesis in the plant kingdom.

Delimiting species, revealing cryptic diversity, and population divergence in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau weevils through DNA barcoding.

The Leptomias group represents one of the most diverse taxonomic group of weevils in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and its adjacent areas. Despite the potential of hidden diversity, relatively few comprehensive studies have been conducted on species diversity in this taxonomic group. In this study, we performed DNA barcoding analysis for species of the Leptomias group using a comprehensive DNA barcode dataset that included 476 sequences representing 54 morphospecies. Within the dataset, our laboratory contributed 474 sequences, and 390 sequences were newly generated for this study. The average Kimura 2-parameter distances among morphospecies and genera were 0.76% and 19.15%, respectively. In 94.4% of the species, the minimum interspecific distances exceeded the maximum intraspecific distances, indicating the presence of barcode gaps in most species of Leptomias group. The application of Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery, Assemble Species by Automatic Partitioning, Barcode Index Number, Bayesian Poisson tree processes, jMOTU, and Neighbor-joining tree methods revealed 45, 45, 63, 54, and 55 distinct clusters representing single species, respectively. Additionally, a total of four morphospecies, Leptomias kangmarensis, L. midlineatus, L. siahus, and L. sp.9RL, were found to be assigned to multiple subclade each, indicating the geographical divergences and the presence of cryptic diversity. Our findings of this study demonstrate that Qinghai-Tibet Plateau exhibits a higher species diversity of the Leptomias group, and it is imperative to investigate cryptic species within certain morphospecies using integrative taxonomic approaches in future studies. Moreover, the construction of a DNA barcode reference library presented herein establishes a robust foundational dataset to support forthcoming research on weevil taxonomy, phylogenetics, ecology, and evolution.

Alteration of hyperpolarization-activated cation current-mediated metaplasticity contributes to electroconvulsive shock-induced learning and memory impairment in depressed rats.

Background: Accompanied by a rapid and effective antidepressant effect, electroconvulsive shock (ECS) can also induce learning and memory impairment. Our previous research reported that metaplasticity is involved in this process. However, the mechanisms still remain unclear. This study investigated the role of I h current in the metaplastic changes and learning and memory impairment induced by ECS in depressive rats. Methods: Depressive rats received ECS after modelling using chronic unpredictable. ZD7288, a type of I h current inhibitor was used to verify the effect of I h current. The sucrose preference test and Morris water maze were used for behavior testing. Changes in metaplasticity was assessed with the LTD/LTP threshold by stimulation at different frequencies. Spontaneous and evoked action potentials (APs) were measured to confirm difference of neuronal excitability. Additionally, the amplitude of I h current was analyzed. Results: ECS exerts antidepressant effect, but also induce spatial learning and memory dysfunction. ECS up-regulates the LTD/LTP threshold. In rats treated with ECS, the frequency of spontaneous and evoked APs is significantly reduced. In addition, ECS induces changes in the intrinsic properties of AP, including a decrease of AP-half width and peak amplitude, and an increase in AP time to peak and post-hyperpolarization potential amplitude. In particular, ECS increases both instantaneous and steady-state I h currents. However, Inhibition of I h current with ZD7288 results in a relief of learning and memory impairment and a decrease in threshold, as well as a significant reversal of whole-cell electrophysiological changes. Conclusion: ECS-induced learning and memory impairment is caused by neuronal hypoexcitability mediated metaplasticity, and upregulation of LTD/LTP threshold by an increase in I h current.

A case of scrub typhus with meningitis as the onset: Case report and literature review.

RATIONALE: Scrub typhus is a naturally occurring acute febrile disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. Although it can cause multiple organ dysfunction, central nervous system infections are uncommon. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 17-year-old male presented with a 5-day history of fever and headaches. The MRI of the head revealed thickness and enhancement of the left temporal lobe and tentorium cerebelli, indicating potential inflammation. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with a central nervous system infection. INTERVENTIONS: Ceftriaxone and acyclovir were administered intravenously to treat the infection, reduce fever, restore acid-base balance, and manage electrolyte disorders. OUTCOMES: Despite receiving ceftriaxone and acyclovir as infection therapy, there was no improvement. Additional multipathogen metagenomic testing indicated the presence of O tsutsugamushi infection, and an eschar was identified in the left axilla. The diagnosis was changed to scrub typhus with meningitis and the therapy was modified to intravenous doxycycline. Following a 2-day therapy, the body temperature normalized, and the fever subsided. CONCLUSIONS: The patient was diagnosed with scrub typhus accompanied by meningitis, and doxycycline treatment was effective. LESSION: Rarely reported cases of scrub typhus with meningitis and the lack of identifiable symptoms increase the chance of misdiagnosis or oversight. Patients with central nervous system infections presenting with fever and headache unresponsive to conventional antibacterial and antiviral treatment should be considered for scrub typhus with meningitis. Prompt multipathogen metagenomic testing is recommended to confirm the diagnosis and modify the treatment accordingly.

Proteomic analysis of plasma in healthy adults receiving recombinant vaccinia virus provides novel insights into HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is still a global public health issue, and the development of an effective prophylactic vaccine inducing potent neutralizing antibodies remains a significant challenge. This study aims to explore the inflammation-related proteins associated with the neutralizing antibodies induced by the DNA/rTV vaccine. In this study, we employed the Olink chip to analyze the inflammation-related proteins in plasma in healthy individuals receiving HIV candidate vaccine (DNA priming and recombinant vaccinia virus rTV boosting) and compared the differences between neutralizing antibody-positive (nab + ) and -negative(nab-) groups. We identified 25 differentially expressed factors and conducted enrichment and correlation analysis on them. Our results revealed that significant expression differences in artemin (ARTN) and C-C motif chemokine ligand 23 (CCL23) between nab+ and -nab- groups. Notably, the expression of CCL23 was negatively corelated to the ID50 of neutralizing antibodies and the intensity of the CD4+ T cell responses. This study enriches our understanding of the immune picture induced by the DNA/rTV vaccine, and provides insights for future HIV vaccine development.

Preparation of novel Au-Nb3O7F nanosheets for the photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride.

Water pollution caused by antibiotics is a growing problem and photodegradation by efficient catalysts is an environmentally friendly technology that can effectively degrade organic pollutants in water. Here, a novel method was innovatively used to synthesize niobium oxyfluoride (Nb3O7F) nanosheets decorated with Au nanoparticles, which is the first report for the composites of Au and Nb3O7F. We prepared the Nb3O7F nanosheets via hydrothermal synthesis followed by deposition of Au nanoparticles on their surface using HAuCl4. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, HRTEM, XPS, and UV-Vis. The diameters of most Au NPs are ranging from 5 to 25 nm with an average size of about 16.9 nm, as well as the Nb3O7F nanosheets in size ranging from 200 nm to 700 nm. The chemical composition of the Au-Nb3O7F showed a Au/Nb atomic ratio of 1/10, as well as a Nb/O/F ratio of 3/7/1. UV-Vis spectrum reveals a largest absorption peak at 520 nm for the Au-Nb3O7F nanosheets. The prepared Au-Nb3O7F nanomaterials were applied to the visible-light photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride, with the photocatalytic degradation rate reached more than 50% under the optimal conditions within 1 h. Capture experiments indicated that h+ and •O2 - are the main active substances involved during the course of the photodegradation. Furthermore, the proposed mechanism for the photodegradation of the novel Au-Nb3O7F nanosheets was given.

Celastrol reduces lung inflammation induced by multiwalled carbon nanotubes in mice via NF-κb-signaling pathway.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have numerous applications in the field of carbon nanomaterials. However, the associated toxicity concerns have increased significantly because of their widespread use. The inhalation of MWCNTs can lead to nanoparticle deposition in the lung tissue, causing inflammation and health risks. In this study, celastrol, a natural plant medicine with potent anti-inflammatory properties, effectively reduced the number of inflammatory cells, including white blood cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes, and levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1ß, IL-6, and TNF-α, in mice lungs exposed to MWCNTs. Moreover, celastrol inhibited the activation of the NF-κB-signaling pathway. This study confirmed these findings by demonstrating comparable reductions in inflammation upon exposure to MWCNTs in mice with the deletion of NF-κB (P50-/-). These results indicate the utility of celastrol as a promising pharmacological agent for preventing MWCNT-induced lung tissue inflammation.

Nonlinear relationship between platelet count and 30-day in-hospital mortality in intensive care unit stroke patients: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Background: Evidence of the relationship between platelet count and 30-day in-hospital mortality in ICU stroke patients is still scarce. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between platelet count and 30-day in-hospital mortality among ICU stroke patients. Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study using data from 8,029 ICU stroke patients in the US eICU-CRD v2.0 database from 2014 to 2015. Utilizing binary logistic regression, smooth curve fitting, and subgroup analyses, we examined the link between platelet count and 30-day in-hospital mortality. Results: The 30-day in-hospital mortality prevalence was 14.02%, and the mean platelet count of 223 × 109/L. Adjusting for covariates, our findings revealed an inverse association between platelet count and 30-day in-hospital mortality (OR = 0.975, 95% CI: 0.966, 0.984). Subgroup analyses supported the robustness of these results. Moreover, a nonlinear relationship was observed between platelet count and 30-day in-hospital mortality, with the inflection point at 163 × 109/L. On the left side of the inflection point, the effect size (OR) was 0.92 (0.89, 0.95), while on the right side, the relationship was not statistically significant. Conclusion: This study establishes an independent negative association between platelet count and 30-day in-hospital mortality in ICU stroke patients. Furthermore, a nonlinear relationship with a saturation effect was identified, suggesting that maintaining the platelet count around 163 × 109/L can reduce 30-day in-hospital mortality in these patients.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Among Elderly CHD Patients Towards Self-Perceived Health Abilities.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) among elderly coronary heart disease (CHD) patients toward self-perceived health abilities. Methods: This web-based study was carried out between April 2023 and September 2023 at Guang'anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. A self-developed questionnaire was utilized to collect demographic information from elderly CHD patients, and evaluate their KAP towards self-perceived health abilities. Results: A total of 568 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the participants, the average age was 65.97±5.50 years, and 298 (52.46%) were female, and the mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 6.34±2.29 (possible range: 0-9), 35.24±4.99 (possible range: 9-45), and 27.79±10.09 (possible range: 9-45), respectively. The structural equation model demonstrated that elderly CHD patients' knowledge directly affects attitudes and practices, with path coefficient of 0.93 (P<0.001) and 0.39 (P=0.033), respectively. Moreover, attitudes play an intermediary role between knowledge and practice with path coefficient of 0.75 (P<0.001). Furthermore, residence directly affects knowledge with path coefficient of 0.67 (P<0.001), cardiac function directly affects knowledge with path coefficient of -0.97 (P<0.001) and history of interventional therapy directly affects practice with path coefficient of 4.23 (P<0.001). Conclusion: Elderly CHD patients demonstrated sufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, and proactive practices towards self-perceived health abilities. However, educational programs and behavior modification are recommended, particularly for elderly with lower age and education, living in rural areas, lacking interventional therapy, obese, or taking multiple CHD medications.

DNA vaccine prime and replicating vaccinia vaccine boost induce robust humoral and cellular immune responses against MERS-CoV in mice.

As of December 2022, 2603 laboratory-identified Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infections and 935 associated deaths, with a mortality rate of 36%, had been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO). However, there are still no vaccines for MERS-CoV, which makes the prevention and control of MERS-CoV difficult. In this study, we generated two DNA vaccine candidates by integrating MERS-CoV Spike (S) gene into a replicating Vaccinia Tian Tan (VTT) vector. Compared to homologous immunization with either vaccine, mice immunized with DNA vaccine prime and VTT vaccine boost exhibited much stronger and durable humoral and cellular immune responses. The immunized mice produced robust binding antibodies and broad neutralizing antibodies against the EMC2012, England1 and KNIH strains of MERS-CoV. Prime-Boost immunization also induced strong MERS-S specific T cells responses, with high memory and poly-functional (CD107a-IFN-γ-TNF-α) effector CD8+ T cells. In conclusion, the research demonstrated that DNA-Prime/VTT-Boost strategy could elicit robust and balanced humoral and cellular immune responses against MERS-CoV-S. This study not only provides a promising set of MERS-CoV vaccine candidates, but also proposes a heterologous sequential immunization strategy worthy of further development.

The standardized training and assessment system for magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (with video).

BACKGROUND AND AIM: To explore the feasibility of a standardized training and assessment system for magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (MCCG). METHODS: The results of 90 trainees who underwent the standardized training and assessment system of the MCCG at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2020 to November 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. The trainees were divided into three groups according to their medical backgrounds: doctor, nurse, and non-medical groups. The training and assessment system adopted the '7 + 2' mode, seven days of training plus two days of theoretical and operational assessment. The passing rates of theoretical, operational, and total assessment were the primary outcomes. Satisfaction and mastery of the MCCG was checked. RESULTS: Ninety trainees were assessed; theoretical assessment's passing rates in the three groups were 100%. The operational and total assessment passing rates were 100% (25/25), 97.92% (47/48), and 94.12% (16/17), for the doctor, nurse, and non-doctor groups respectively, with no significant difference (χ2 = 1.741, p = 0.419). No bleeding or perforation occurred during the procedure. Approximately, 96.00% (24/25), 95.83% (46/48), and 94.12% (16/17) of the doctor, nurse and non-medical groups anonymously expressed great satisfaction, respectively, without statistically significant difference (χ2 = 0.565, p = 1.000). The average follow-up time was 4-36 months, and 87 trainees (96.67%) had mastered the operation of the MCCG in daily work. CONCLUSIONS: Standardized training and assessment of magnetically controlled capsule endoscopists is effective and feasible. Additionally, a strict assessment system and long-term communication and learning can improve teaching effects.

Solute carrier family 16 member 1 as a potential prognostic factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and its influence on tumor immunity.

Background: Solute carrier family 16 member 1 (SLC16A1) serves as a biomarker in numerous types of cancer. Tumor immune infiltration has drawn increasing attention in cancer progression and treatment. The objective of our study was to explore the association between SLC16A1 and the tumor immune microenvironment in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Methods: Data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The xCell web tool was used to calculate the proportion of immune cells according to SLC16A1 expression. To further explore the mechanism of SLC16A1, immunity-related genes were screened from differentially expressed genes through weighted gene coexpression network analysis, examined via Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses, and filtrated using univariate Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model combined correlation analysis (P<0.05). Next, CIBERSORT was used to analyze the correlation between immune cells and five important genes. SLC16A1 expression and its clinical role in pancreatic cancer was clarified via immunohistochemical staining experiments. Finally, the effects of SLC16A1 on the results of cancer immunity were evaluated by in vitro experiments. Results: SLC16A1 was overexpressed in PDAC tissues and could be an independent prognostic factor. SLC16A1 was significantly negatively correlated with overall survival and suppressed the tumor immunity of PDAC. In clinic, SLC16A1 expression was significantly positively correlated with tumor progression and poor prognosis. We also found that SLC16A1 could suppress the antitumor ability of CD8+ T cells. Conclusions: SLC16A1 is a biomarker for the prognosis of PDAC and can influence the immune environment of PDAC. These findings provide new insights into the treatment of PDAC.

DRAIC mediates hnRNPA2B1 stability and m6A-modified IGF1R instability to inhibit tumor progression.

Type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) plays an important role in cancer, however, posttranscriptional regulation such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) of IGF1R remains unclear. Here, we reveal a role for a lncRNA Downregulated RNA in Cancer (DRAIC) suppress tumor growth and metastasis in clear cell Renal Carcinoma (ccRCC). Mechanistically, DRAIC physically interacts with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (hnRNPA2B1) and enhances its protein stability by blocking E3 ligase F-box protein 11 (FBXO11)-mediated ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation. Subsequently, hnRNPA2B1 destabilizes m6A modified-IGF1R, leading to inhibition of ccRCC progression. Moreover, four m6A modification sites are identified to be responsible for the mRNA degradation of IGF1R. Collectively, our findings reveal that DRAIC/hnRNPA2B1 axis regulates IGF1R mRNA stability in an m6A-dependent manner and highlights an important mechanism of IGF1R fate. These findings shed light on DRAIC/hnRNPA2B1/FBXO11/IGF1R axis as potential therapeutic targets in ccRCC and build a link of molecular fate between m6A-modified RNA and ubiquitin-modified protein.

A 5-hydroxymethylcytosine-based non-invasive model for early detection of colorectal carcinomas and advanced adenomas: the METHOD-2 study.

PURPOSE: Detection of colorectal carcinomas (CRC) at a time when there are more treatment options is associated with better outcomes. This prospective case-control study assessed the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) biomarkers in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for early detection of CRC and advanced adenomas (AA) Experimental Design: Plasma cfDNA samples from 2,576 study participants from the multi-center METHOD-2 study (NCT03676075) were collected, comprising patients with newly diagnosed CRC (n=1,074), AA (n=356), other solid tumors (n=80), and non-CRC/AA controls (n=1,066), followed by genome-wide 5hmC profiling using the 5hmC-Seal technique and the next-generation sequencing (NGS). A weighted diagnostic model for CRC (stage I-III) and AA was developed using the elastic net regularization in a discovery set and validated in independent samples. RESULTS: Distribution of 5hmC in cfDNA reflected gene regulatory relevance and tissue of origin. Besides being confirmed in internal validation, a 96-gene model achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 90.7% for distinguishing stage I-III CRC from controls in 321 samples from multiple centers for external validation, regardless of primary location or mutation status. This model also showed cancer-type specificity as well as high capacity for distinguishing AA from controls with an AUC of 78.6%. Functionally, differential 5hmC features associated with CRC and AA demonstrated relevance to CRC biology, including pathways such as calcium and MAPK signaling. CONCLUSIONS: Genome-wide mapping of 5hmC in cfDNA shows the promise as a highly sensitive and specific non-invasive blood test to be integrated in screening programs for improving early detection of CRC and high-risk AA.

Plasma proteomics analysis of Chinese HIV-1 infected individuals focusing on the immune and inflammatory factors afford insight into the viral control mechanism.

Background: Long-term non-progressors (LTNPs) with HIV infection can naturally control viral replication for up to a decade without antiretroviral therapy (ART), but the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon remain elusive. Methods: To investigate the relevant immune and inflammatory factors associated with this natural control mechanism, we collected plasma samples from 16 LTNPs, 14 untreated viral progressors (VPs), 17 successfully ART-treated patients (TPs), and 16 healthy controls (HCs). The OLINK immune response panel and inflammation panel were employed to detect critical proteins, and the plasma neutralizing activity against a global panel of pseudoviruses was assessed using TZM-bl cells. Results: The combination of IL17C, IL18, DDX58, and NF2 contributed to discriminating LTNPs and VPs. IL18 and CCL25 were positively associated with CD4+ T cell counts but negatively correlated with viral load. Furthermore, CXCL9 and CXCL10 emerged as potential supplementary diagnostic markers for assessing the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Finally, TNFRSF9 displayed positive correlations with neutralization breadth and Geometry Median Titer (GMT) despite the lack of significant differences between LTNPs and VPs. Conclusion: In summary, this study identified a set of biomarkers in HIV-infected individuals at different disease stages. These markers constitute a potential network for immune balance regulation in HIV infection, which is related to the long-term control of HIV by LTNPs. It provides important clues for further exploring the immune regulatory mechanism of HIV.
