Retrovirus-derived RTL9 plays an important role in innate antifungal immunity in the eutherian brain

F. Ishino, J. Itoh, M. Irie, A. Matsuzawa, M. Naruse, T. Suzuki, Y. Hiraoka, T. Kaneko-Ishino

The paper shows RTL9, a retrovirus-derived gene, is essential for microglial antifungal immunity by degrading fungal zymosan in the brain.

Lipid peroxidation increases membrane tension, Piezo1 gating and cation permeability to execute ferroptosis

S. Grinstein, Y. Hirata, B. E. Steinberg, A. Volchuk, a. matsuzawa, R. Cai, S. A. Freeman

This study shows that lipid peroxidation during ferroptosis increases membrane tension, activates Piezo1 and TRP channels, and causes cation permeability, leading to cell death.

Retrovirus-derived acquired genes, RTL5 and RTL6, are novel constituents of the innate immune system in the eutherian brain.

M. Irie, J. Itoh, A. Matsuzawa, M. Ikawa, T. Suzuki, Y. Hiraoka, F. Ishino, T. Kaneko-Ishino

This study identifies RTL5 and RTL6 as retrovirus-derived genes involved in microglial innate immune responses against pathogens in the eutherian brain.
