Graph represents 5 experimental replicates per timepoint for donor 1 TOs (circles); Graph represents 3 experimental replicates per timepoint for donor 2 and 3 TOs (squares, triangles). Data presented as mean values ± SD. D Representative immunofluorescent images of TOs at day 6 post-passage. 10 μm TO cross-sections were stained for DAPI (blue), Ki67 for cytotrophoblasts (white), SDC1 for syncytiotrophoblasts (green), and IL27RA (magenta). White box indicates zoom inset and white dashed line demarcates regions of cytotrophoblasts (CTB) and syncytiotrophoblasts (STB). 20X magnification, Z-stack, merged. Scale bar, 100μm. Images representative experiments independently repeated in 4 biological TO donors with similar results. E. TOs from 2 biological donors (circles, diamonds) were pre-treated with neutralizing antibodies prior to infection with ZIKV-CAM, as described in Supplementary Fig. , . TO cultures were then collected at 1-, 24-, or 48-h post-infection (hpi) for RNA analysis. Graph displays ZIKV viral RNA expression in TOs as determined by quantitative RT-PCR relative to housekeeping gene HPRT1 , normalized to isotype control-treated organoids.

    Exogenous IL-27 indirectly inhibits BM B-ALL cells. (A) Experimental design. GFP + B-ALL cells were transferred into WT mice, followed by AAV-Ctrl or AAV-IL-27 administration. BM and splenic B-ALL cells were analysed 9–10 days later (n = 3 per group). (B–C) Representative flow cytometry plots and quantification of GFP + B-ALL and GFP − B cells. (D) GSVA analysis of transcriptional changes in BM B-ALL cells isolated from mice in (A). (E) Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of DEGs between Ctrl and IL-27 groups in (A) (adjusted P < 0.05, |log 2 fold change| > 1). The outer ring indicates enriched GO terms, the middle ring represents relative gene expression changes in the IL-27 group, and the inner ring shows background gene counts, with colour intensity reflecting enrichment significance. Enriched pathways include interferon-γ-mediated signalling, interferon-β responses, adhesion-related processes, protozoan defence responses, calmodulin-dependent kinase signalling, and negative regulation of STAT tyrosine phosphorylation.

G Combined ZIKV burden of one matching fetus and placenta, normalized to combined tissue weight. Shape of data point represents observed fetal phenotype. Total number of fetal/placental units per condition plotted (see 4 F ). Statistical analysis performed via Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, ***p < 0.001, ns=not significant (From left, p = >0.9999, 0.0006). H Left: Fetal ZIKV burdens, normalized to fetus weights. Viral burdens for subset of fetuses exhibiting “healthy” phenotypes plotted (Isotype n = 24, α-IL-27 n = 16, IL27RA −/− n = 28). Right: Placental ZIKV burdens, normalized to placental weights. Viral burdens of placentas matched to fetuses with “healthy” phenotypes plotted (Isotype n = 24, α-IL-27 n = 16, IL27RA −/− n = 28). Statistical analysis performed via Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, ns=not significant (Fetal from left, p = >0.9999, 0.0374; Placental from left, p = 0.0378, <0.0001). I Maternal serum ZIKV burdens, normalized to serum weight. n = 3 dams for Isotype and α-IL-27-treated groups, n = 4 IL27RA −/− dams. Not significant via Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA.

Created in BioRender. Jurado, K. (2025) https://BioRender.com/eegilr9 . B Serum IL-6 levels in PBS- and HMW Poly(I:C)-treated dams at 6 h post-injection as determined via ELISA. n = 3 dams per group. Statistical analysis performed via ordinary two-way ANOVA, **p < 0.01, ns= not significant (From left, p = >0.9999, 0.0013, 0.0011, 0.9896). Data presented as mean values ± SD. C Proportion of fetuses exhibiting healthy, early resorption, or total resorption phenotypes at E13.5 in PBS- and HMW Poly(I:C)-treated dams. Graph displays total number of fetuses from 3-4 litters per condition. D Representative images depicting fetal outcomes at E13.5. Phenotypes were determined for each fetus based on gross morphology and tissue integrity, as described in methods. E Timeline for mating and infection of hSTAT2 KI mice, as described in methods.
