Effect of wind on summer chlorophyll-a variability in the Yellow Sea - Lei Lin; Dongyan Liu; Yueqi Wang; Ting Lv; Yue Zhao; Wei Tan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Winds potentially affect primary production in shelf seas during the stratified season by enhancing upwelling and mixing. However, the exact extent and modalities of this effect in the Yellow Sea remain unclear. Here, based on the satellite and in situ observation data, statistical method, and wind-driven upwelling theory, we examined the wind effect on the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) variability in the summer of 2002-2020 and the effect mechanism. The satellite data revealed a significantly positive correlation between anomalies of the monthly mean of the summer sea surface Chl-a and wind speed at the continental slope region (water depth of 20-60 m) in the southwestern Yellow Sea where strong wind-driven upwelling has been indicated by previous studies. The wind-driven upwelling along the continental slope was further verified using two summer in-situ observations. After a fortnight of southeasterly wind, the upwelling patterns of high salinity and rich nutrients from the Yellow Sea cold water mass were observed, and consequently, high Chl-a concentrations occurred in the upper layer of the slope region. The wind-driven upwelling occurred in the region at water depth of ~20-60 m, which is consistent with the result of the wind-driven coastal upwelling theory (0.5 D < water depth < 1.25 D , where D is the thickness of the Ekman layer). The dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate fluxes contributed by wind-driven upwelling were estimated as 1345 ± 674 μmol/m 2 /d, 81 ± 45 μmol/m 2 /d and 1460 ± 899 μmol/m 2 /d, respectively, accounting for 30%-40% of total nutrient supply, and were several times larger than that contributed by the turbulent mixing, which can explain why the strong wind-Chl-a correlation only occurred at the upwelling region rather than the entire sea. In addition, in this region, the interannual variability of the summer mean Chl-a was negatively correlated to both the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indexes, due to the opposite phase of the summer wind anomaly and the PDO/ENSO. This study revealed the wind effect on the shelf phytoplankton is regional and highlighted that wind could be a pivotal factor driving the climate variability of shelf primary production in the stratified season.

Andrographolide ameliorates hepatic steatosis by suppressing FATP2-mediated fatty acid uptake in mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease - Li-Sha Ran; Ya-Zeng Wu; Yi-Wen Gan; Hong-Lian Wang; Li-Juan Wu; Chun-Mei Zheng; Yao Ming; Ran Xiong; Yong-Lin Li; Shi-Hang Lei; Xue Wang; Xiao-Qing Lao; et al. (Journal of Natural Medicines, 2023)
Excessive intrahepatocellular lipid accumulation or steatosis is caused by abnormal lipid metabolism and a common character of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which may progress into cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. Andrographolide (Andro) is the primary active ingredient extracted from Andrographis paniculata , showing a protective role against dietary steatosis with the mechanism not fully understood. In this study, we showed that administration of Andro (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks, respectively) attenuated obesity and metabolic syndrome in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice with improved glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and reduced hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. HFD-fed mice presented hepatic steatosis, which was significantly prevented by Andro. In vitro, Andro decreased the intracellular lipid droplets in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells. The selected RT-PCR array revealed a robust expression suppression of the fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs) by Andro treatment. Most importantly, we found that Andro consistently reduced the expression of FATP2 in both the oleic acid-treated LO2 cells and liver tissues of HFD-fed mice. Overexpression of FATP2 abolished the lipid-lowering effect of Andro in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells. Andro treatment also reduced the fatty acid uptake in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells, which was blunted by FATP2 overexpression. Collectively, our findings reveal a novel mechanism underlying the anti-steatosis effect of Andro by suppressing FATP2-mediated fatty acid uptake, suggesting the potential therapeutic application of Andro in the treatment of NAFLD.

The emergence of prolonged deadly humid heatwaves - Xiang‐Sheng Wang; Lei He; Xiao‐Hu Ma; Qiang Bie; Lin Luo; You‐Cai Xiong; Jian‐Sheng Ye (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Deadly humid heat conditions exceeding human thermoregulatory capacity have been reported; however, whether and where the deadly humid heat events occur consecutively across the land surface are largely unknown. We calculate the maximum consecutive days of deadly humid heat, defined as daily maximum wet‐bulb temperature (TWmax) ≥35°C, for observations of 9,278 meteorological stations and for simulations of 14 global climate models. We further define short and long deadly humid heatwaves as a period of 3–4 and ≥5 consecutive days with daily TWmax ≥35°C, respectively. Our analyses show that six stations in some subtropical regions have experienced deadly humid heat with daily TWmax ≥35°C, but only occurs in individual days. Deadly humid heatwaves increase exponentially as the global mean temperature rising. When limiting global warming within 1.5°C, long deadly humid heatwaves will not occur across the land surface, and short deadly humid heatwaves will only emerge in some drylands but not in humid areas. Under 2°C warming, 0.09% of the global land, 0.42% of the human population, and 0.56% of the global centres of crop diversity are projected to be exposed to long deadly humid heatwaves. Meanwhile, 18% of the deadly humid heatwaves lasting ≥3 consecutive days will occur in humid areas; the fractions are projected to rapidly increase in humid areas as temperature rising further. At the end of the century, the percentage of land areas and human population exposed to deadly humid heatwaves lasting ≥3 consecutive days are expected to be 76‐times higher than that under 1.5°C warming level. Our finding suggests that keeping global warming within 1.5°C will significantly constrain the emergence of prolonged deadly humid heatwaves and thus reduce the risk of the human population especially outdoor agricultural workers.

Numerical Investigation on Performance Optimization of Offshore Sandwich Blast Walls with Different Honeycomb Cores Subjected to Blast Loading - Hong Lin; Chang Han; Lei Yang; Lin Zhang; Haochen Luan; Pingping Han; Hao Xu; Shuo Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
As an important protective facility on offshore platform, the blast wall is of great significance in resisting oil and gas explosions. Honeycomb structures are widely used due to their unique deformation and mechanical properties under dynamic impact loads. The aim of this research is to develop an optimized design for an offshore sandwich blast wall with different honeycomb cores. The uniqueness of this paper is providing the quantitative optimization scheme for topological configurations and unit cell geometric parameters of honeycomb structures according to mass consistency and the proposed synthetic evaluation index of anti-blast performance. By using the numerical simulation software ANSYS/LS-DYNA, the CONWEP algorithm was first validated and then adopted to conduct the dynamical performance analysis of the honeycomb blast wall. For comparison purposes, simulating studies on a series of different blast walls were carried out by considering various influential parameters. According to different criteria, the blast resistance of the sandwich honeycomb structures was evaluated. It is found that the sandwich plate with concave arc honeycomb core has the best anti-blast performance compared to that of arrow honeycomb core and concave hexagonal honeycomb core. For the concave arc honeycomb structure, the geometric parameters such as concave angle and aspect ratio of honeycomb unit cell have great influence on the blast-resistance performance. Moreover, the concave arc honeycomb structure with positive gradient arrangement has better anti-blast performance than the negative one. The curved blast wall with the curvature of 1/20 achieves better anti-blast performance than the flat blast wall.

Integrative sperm DNA methylation and miRomics analysis highlights interaction of two epigenetic patterns of pseudomale inheritance in teleost - Na Zhao; Lei Jia; Lu Chen; Jieyan Lin; Zhongdian Dong; Bo Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Proper DNA methylation in spermatozoa is essential for the normal development of fertilized embryos through gene expression regulation. Abnormal sperm DNA methylation is associated with male fertility impairment, offspring quality decline, and disease susceptibility. Compared with other epigenetic regulatory mechanisms (e.g., histone modification), DNA methylation is a stable regulator for the long-term transcriptional activity of genes. Sperm DNA methylation is crucial to offspring’s survival, development, and reproduction. However, it has not been well studied in teleost to a large extent, especially in some species with sex deviation or congenital sex abnormality in offspring. In the present study, DNA methylation profiles of pseudomale (ZW) and male (ZZ) tongue sole ( Cynoglossus semilaevis ) spermatozoa were characterized for differential methylation regions (DMRs) screening. The global methylation levels of the two sperm groups were highly methylated with no significant differences. For all kinds of genomic elements, the mean methylation level of the ZW group was higher than that of the ZZ group. The total numbers of Covered C annotated on the W chromosome of both groups were extremely small, suggesting that W-type sperm did not exist in pseudomales. A comparison of methylation levels on 20 sex-related genes between sperm and gonad showed that the heterogeneity between tissue resources was greater than that between sexes, and the methylation level of most genes in gonads was lower than that in sperm. For integrative analysis of DNA methylation and miRomic profiles, 11 sex-related DMRs associated with 15 differentials micro RNAs (miRNAs) in spermatozoa were identified to present targeting relationships and regulatory trends of the two distinct epigenetic patterns. This study provides valuable and potential targets of coordination between two epigenetic mechanisms in the process of C. semilaevis sex congenital bias.

Significant Wave Height Prediction in the South China Sea Based on the ConvLSTM Algorithm - Lei Han; Qiyan Ji; Xiaoyan Jia; Yu Liu; Guoqing Han; Xiayan Lin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Deep learning methods have excellent prospects for application in wave forecasting research. This study employed the convolutional LSTM (ConvLSTM) algorithm to predict the South China Sea (SCS) significant wave height (SWH). Three prediction models were established to investigate the influences of setting different parameters and using multiple training data on the forecasting effects. Compared with the SWH data from the China–France Ocean Satellite (CFOSAT), the SWH of WAVEWATCH III (WWIII) from the pacific islands ocean observing system are accurate enough to be used as training data for the ConvLSTM-based SWH prediction model. Model A was preliminarily established by only using the SWH from WWIII as the training data, and 20 sensitivity experiments were carried out to investigate the influences of different parameter settings on the forecasting effect of Model A. The experimental results showed that Model A has the best forecasting effect when using three years of training data and three hourly input data. With the same parameter settings as the best prediction performance Model A, Model B and C were also established by using more different training data. Model B used the wind shear velocity and SWH as training and input data. When making a 24-h SWH forecast, compared with Model A, the root mean square error (RMSE) of Model B is decreased by 17.6%, the correlation coefficient (CC) is increased by 2.90%, and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is reduced by 12.2%. Model C used the SWH, wind shear velocity, wind and wave direction as training and input data. When making a 24-h SWH forecast, compared with Model A, the RMSE of Model C decreased by 19.0%, the CC increased by 2.65%, and the MAPE decreased by 14.8%. As the performance of the ConvLSTM-based prediction model mainly rely on the SWH training data. All the ConvLSTM-based prediction models show a greater RMSE in the nearshore area than that in the deep area of SCS and also show a greater RMSE during the period of typhoon transit than that without typhoon. Considering the wind shear velocity, wind, and wave direction also used as training data will improve the performance of SWH prediction.

In this study, we established and characterized a continuous cell line from the spinal cord tissue of mandarin fish, Siniperca chuatsi and assessed its susceptibility to infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), Siniperca chuatsi ranavirus (SCRaV) and Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV). The cell line, named SCC, has been successively cultured up to 40 passages. The optimal growing conditions of SCC cells were in Leibovitz's L‐15 medium supplemented with 20% foetal bovine serum (FBS) at 28°C. Karyotype analysis demonstrated 48 normal diploid chromosomes in the cells. The identity of S. chuatsi origin of SCC cells was confirmed by partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA and cytochrome oxidase I ( COI ) genes. Infection susceptibility assessment showed that ISKNV, SCRIV and SCRV and can be stably produced and transmitted in SCC cells, and the replication efficiency of ISKNV, SCRaV and SCRV ranged from 10 7.4 to 10 9.6 TCID 50 /ml. In addition, transmission electron microscopy analysis of ISKNV, SCRAV and SCRV infected SCC cells showed numerous viral particles. In conclusion, the newly established SCC cells provide an important tool for isolation and production of viruses, as well as for molecular and cell biology studies.

Gregarious larval settlement mediates the responses of new recruits of the reef coral Acropora austera to ocean warming and acidification - Lei Jiang; Yu-Yang Zhang; Cheng-Yue Liu; Lin-Tao Huang; Hao-Ya Tong; Guo-Wei Zhou; Ming-Lan Guo; Tao Yuan; Hui Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Gregarious larval settlement represents an important window for chimera formation in reef corals, yet it remains largely unknown how aggregated settlement and early chimerism could modify the performance and responses of coral recruits under elevated temperature and p CO 2 . In this study, single and aggregated recruits of the broadcast spawning coral Acropora austera were exposed to contrasts of two temperatures (28 versus 30.5°C) and p CO 2 levels (~500 versus 1000 μatm) for two weeks, and algal symbiont infection success, survivorship and growth were assessed. Results showed that symbiont infection success was mainly affected by temperature and recruit type, with reduced symbiont infection at increased temperature and consistently higher infection success in chimeric recruits compared to single recruits. Furthermore, although chimeric recruits with larger areal size had significantly higher survivorship in all treatments, the polyp-specific growth rates were considerably lower in chimeric entities than individual recruits. More importantly, the recruit type significantly influenced the responses of recruit polyp-specific growth rates to elevated temperature, with chimeras exhibiting lowered skeletal lateral growth under elevated temperature. These results demonstrate the benefits and costs associated with gregarious larval settlement for juvenile corals under ocean warming and acidification, and highlight the ecological role of larval settlement behavior in mediating the responses of coral recruits to climate change stressors.

Horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F cold seep, the South China Sea - Xinyi Zhai; Xiaochong Shi; Haojin Cheng; Peng Yao; Bin Zhao; Lin Chen; Jiwen Liu; Lei Cao; Minxiao Wang; Lulu Fu; Xiao-Hua Zhang; Min Yu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Site F is the most vigorous cold seep known on the continental slope of the northern South China Sea. Up to now, the microbial community structures in sediments of Site F based on the high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes have been studied extensively. However, few studies investigated the microbial community structures at fine vertical scales of Site F and control stations outside Site F. In this study, a comprehensive investigation of microbial communities in sediments of Site F along the depths varying from 0 to 24 cm below sea floor (cmbsf) of four sampling sites—SRS (Southern Reduced Sediment), NRS (Northern Reduced Sediment), Control 1 (close to Site F), and Control 2 (far from Site F)—was carried out. The high relative abundances of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME), Desulfobacterota [sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)], and Campylobacteria [sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB)] in SRS and NRS indicated that these two sites were newborn cold seep sites compared with non-seep sites, Control 1, and Control 2. A positive correlation between ANME-1b, ANME-2, and SEEP-SRB and an enrichment of Sulfurovum and Methlomonadaceae were found in the surface sediments of both SRS and NRS, indicating that the processes of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), sulfur oxidation, and sulfate reduction might occur in seep sites. SRS was enriched with ANME-1b and SEEP-SRB2 with a proposed sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ) approximately located at 8 cmbsf. The high abundance of ANME in SRS may due to the high concentration of methane. NRS was enriched with ANME-2, Desulfatiglans , Sulfurovum , and Methanosarcinaceae with a proposed SMTZ at about 10 cmbsf. According to the analyses of microbial community structure and environmental factors, NRS could be described as a notable cold seep reduced sediment site with low sulfate and high H 2 S that nourished abundant SEEP-SRB1, ANME-2, Methanosarcinales , and Sulfurovum , which showed similar distribution pattern. Our study expands the current knowledge on the differences of microbial communities in cold seep sites and non-seep sites and sheds light on the horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F.

Potential millennial‐scale avian declines by humans in southern China - Feng Dong; Qiang Zhang; Yi‐Lin Chen; Fu‐Min Lei; Shou‐Hsien Li; Fei Wu; Xiao‐Jun Yang (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Mounting observational records demonstrate human‐caused faunal decline in recent decades, while accumulating archaeological evidence suggests an early biodiversity impact of human activities during the Holocene. A fundamental question arises concerning whether modern wildlife population declines began during early human disturbance. Here, we performed a population genomic analysis of six common forest birds in East Asia to address this question. For five of them, demographic history inference based on 25–33 genomes of each species revealed dramatic population declines by 4‐ to 48‐fold over millennia (e.g. 2000–5000 thousand years ago). Nevertheless, summary statistics detected nonsignificant correlations between these population size trajectories and Holocene temperature variations, and ecological niche models explicitly predicted extensive range persistence during the Holocene, implying limited demographic consequence of Holocene climate change. Further analyses suggest high negative correlations between the reconstructed population declines and human disturbance intensities and indicate a potential driver of human activities. These findings provide a deep‐time and large‐scale insight into the recently recognized avifaunal decline and support an early origin hypothesis of human effects on biodiversity. Overall, our study sheds light on the current biodiversity crisis in the context of long‐term human–environment interactions and offers a multi‐evidential framework for quantitatively assessing the ecological consequences of human disturbance.

Dynamic Performance and Crashworthiness Assessment of Honeycomb Reinforced Tubular Pipe in the Jacket Platform under Ship Collision - Hong Lin; Chang Han; Lei Yang; Hassan Karampour; Haochen Luan; Pingping Han; Hao Xu; Shuo Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The collision between the pipe legs of jacket platforms and bypassing ships is of great concern for the safety assessment of platforms. Honeycomb structures have been widely used owing to their unique deformation and mechanical properties under dynamic impact loads. In this paper, two typical honeycomb structures, namely hexagonal honeycomb and arrow honeycomb, were constructed for the impact protection of inclined pipe legs in jacket platforms, and the present study aimed to assess the dynamical performance and crushing resistance of the designed honeycomb reinforced structure under ship collision by using the numerical simulation software ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The dynamical performance of the honeycomb reinforced pipe leg was investigated considering various influential parameters, including the impact velocity and impact direction. The crashworthiness of the two types of honeycomb was evaluated and compared by different criteria, namely the maximum impact depth (δmax), specific energy absorption (SEA) and the proposed index offset sliding (OS). The results demonstrated that both the hexagonal honeycomb structure and the arrow honeycomb structure can reduce the damage of inclined pipe legs caused by ship collision, while the hexagonal honeycomb can provide the better anti-collision capacity, which can well reduce the offset sliding and better protect the pipe leg from ship collision.

Coastal aquaculture farms for the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus provide spawning and first-year nursery grounds for wild black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii: A case study from the Luanhe River estuary, Bohai bay, the Bohai Sea, China - Min Xu; Zun-li Qi; Zun-lei Liu; Wei-min Quan; Qi Zhao; Yun-ling Zhang; Hui Liu; Lin-lin Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Aquaculture farms are known to attract wild organisms from nearby areas. Sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus aquaculture farms in Bohai Bay, the Bohai Sea, China, might provide spawning and nursery grounds for wild black rockfish Sebastes schlegelii populations. To identify the above, we studied the variation in the numbers of S. schlegelii larvae (and length-categories as a percentage of the natural population) via ichthyoplankton surveys by months from January to October 2020, and assessed the food web structure and energy flow distribution of the farm and trophic links of S. schlegelii natural stock by using Ecopath modeling in July 2016 to August 2017. Larvae with a length between 3.90-5.80 mm were observed in the farm in May 2020, the juveniles with an estimated trophic level of 4.31. Juveniles used the farms as first-year nursery ground, and then they swam into deeper waters in August of the following year. MTI analysis showed increasing biomass of S. schlegelii might result in a decrease in the biomass of crustacea, and had positive and negative impacts on mollusk and Hexagrammos otakii biomass. We argued that aquacultural infrastructures constructed by artificial reefs could be used as a fisheries management tool to enhance S. schlegelii stocks and that monitoring of other marine organisms, such as oysters, Rapana venosa , Charybdis japonica , and Asterias spp. etc., was necessary to maintain sustainable exploitations of aquacultural farm ecosystems. A paucity of knowledge surrounding the interactions between aquaculture farms and wild organisms needs furthermore researches.

PLXDC2 enhances invadopodium formation to promote invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells via interacting with PTP1B - Bin Wu; Yan-xia Wang; Jun-jie Wang; Dong-fang Xiang; Meng-si Zhang; Ze-xuan Yan; Wen-ying Wang; Jing-ya Miao; Xi Lan; Jia-jia Liu; Zheng-yan Li; Chuan Li; et al. (Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, 2022)
Plexin-domain containing 2 (PLXDC2) has been reported as an oncoprotein in several human malignancies. However, its expression and roles in gastric cancer remain largely unclear. In this study, we found that PLXDC2 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, and the expression levels were positively correlated with clinicopathological features, but negatively with the patients’ outcome. Cox regression analysis identified PLXDC2 as an independent prognostic indicator for the patients. Knockdown of PLXDC2 markedly suppressed the in vitro invasion and in vivo metastasis of gastric cancer cells, while overexpression of PLXDC2 resulted in opposite effects. Mechanistically, PLXDC2 enhanced the level of phosphorylated Cortactin (p-Cortactin) by physically interacting with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), an important dephosphorylase, to prevent its dephosphorylating of p-Cortactin, thereby promoting the formation of invadopodia. Collectively, our results indicate that PLXDC2 contributes to the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer by inhibiting PTP1B to facilitate the invadopodium formation, and may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for this disease.

Systematic contributions of CFEM domain‐containing proteins to iron acquisition are essential for interspecies interaction of the filamentous pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana - Yue‐Jin Peng; Jia Hou; Hao Zhang; Jia‐Hui Lei; Hai‐Yan Lin; Jin‐Li Ding; Ming‐Guang Feng; Sheng‐Hua Ying (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Common in fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain is unique in fungal proteins and some of which contribute to iron acquisition in yeast. However, their roles in iron acquisition remain largely unknown in filamentous fungi. In this study, 12 CFEM‐containing proteins were bioinformatically identified in the filamentous entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana , and the roles of 11 genes were genetically characterized. Transmembrane helices were critical for their association with intracellular membranes, and their number varied among proteins. Eleven CFEM genes significantly contribute to vegetative growth under iron starvation and virulence. Notably, the virulence of most disruptants could be significantly weakened by a decrease in iron availability, in which the virulence of Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 strains was partially recovered by exogenous hemin. Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 mutants displayed defective competitiveness against the sister entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii . All 11 disruptants displayed impaired growth in the antagonistic assay with the saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus niger , which could be repressed by exogenous ferric ions. These findings not only reveal the systematic contributions of CFEM proteins to acquire two forms of iron (i.e. heme and ferric ion) in the entire lifecycle of entomopathogenic fungi but also help to better understand the mechanisms of fungus–host and inter–fungus interactions.

Effects of dietary nucleotides on growth performance, immune response, intestinal morphology and disease resistance of juvenile largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides - Xiao‐chun Chen; Xiao‐quan Huang; Yi‐wen Tang; Lei Zhang; Feng Lin (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
An 8 week feeding trial was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary nucleotides on growth performance, intestinal morphology, immune response and disease resistance of juvenile largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides . Five grades of dietary nucleotide levels were designed as 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g kg −1 , respectively. Each group had 3 replicates, with 40 fish in each replicate. After the feeding experiment, 15 fish from each tank were infected with Aeromonas hydrophila for 14 days. The results indicated that fish fed the diets containing 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g kg −1 nucleotides had higher growth performance and feed utilization than those fed the control diet. Nonetheless, there were no significant differences in survival between all the groups, although fish fed the diets with all‐level nucleotides obtained higher survival than those fed the control diet. Dietary nucleotides significantly affected the superoxide dismutase, acid phosphatase and catalase activities in serum but not the malondialdehyde content. Fish fed the 0.4 g kg −1 nucleotide diets had the highest fold height, enterocyte height and muscular layer thickness significantly. The average mortality of largemouth bass infected with A. hydrophila was significantly influenced by dietary nucleotides. The mortality was significantly higher in the control group (91.11%) and 0.02% nucleotide group (73.11%) followed by the other groups and lowest in the 0.8 g kg −1 nucleotide group. In summary, dietary 0.4–0.8 g kg −1 nucleotides promoted growth performance, enhanced immunity and improved intestinal morphology and disease resistance of largemouth bass.

Discovery of the non‐cosmopolitan lineages in Candidatus Thermoprofundales - Yi‐Fan Liu; Liu Yang; Zhong‐Lin Liu; Jing Chen; Bo Fang; Lei Zhou; Jin‐Feng Liu; Shi‐Zhong Yang; Ji‐Dong Gu; Bo‐Zhong Mu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary The recently proposed order Candidatus Thermoprofundales, currently containing only one family‐level lineage Marine Benthic Group‐D (MBG‐D), is distributed in global subsurface ecosystems and ecologically important, but its diversity, evolution and metabolism remain largely unknown. Here we described two novel family‐level specialized lineages in Ca . Thermoprofundales, JdFR‐43 and HyVt, which are restricted to specific biotopes (primarily in marine hydrothermal vents and occasionally in oil reservoirs and hot springs) in contrast to the cosmopolitan lineage MBG‐D. The comparative genomics revealed that the specialized lineages have streamlined genomes, higher GC contents, enriched genes associated with nucleotide biosynthesis, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair and additional thermostable aminopeptidases, enabling them to adapt to high‐temperature habitats such as marine hydrothermal vents, deep subsurface oil reservoirs and hot springs. On the contrary, the unique metabolic traits of the cosmopolitan MBG‐D, motility, glycolysis, butanoate metabolism, secondary metabolites production and additional genes for specific peptides and carbohydrates degradation potentially enhance its response to environmental change. Substrate preference is found for most MAGs across all lineages with the ability to utilize both polysaccharides (chitin and starch) and proteinaceous substances, whereas JdFR‐43 members from oil reservoirs can only utilize proteins. These results expand the diversity of C a . Thermoprofundales significantly and further improve our understandings of the adaptations of C a . Thermoprofundales to various environments.

QTL identification, fine mapping, and marker development for breeding peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) resistant to bacterial wilt - Feiyan Qi; Ziqi Sun; Hua Liu; Zheng Zheng; Li Qin; Lei Shi; Qingzheng Chen; Haidong Liu; Xiufang Lin; Lijuan Miao; Mengdi Tian; Xiao Wang; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message A major QTL, qBWA12 , was fine mapped to a 216.68 kb physical region, and A12.4097252 was identified as a useful KASP marker for breeding peanut varieties resistant to bacterial wilt. Abstract Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum , is a major disease detrimental to peanut production in China. Breeding disease-resistant peanut varieties is the most economical and effective way to prevent the disease and yield loss. Fine mapping the QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance is critical for the marker-assisted breeding of disease-resistant varieties. A recombinant inbred population comprising 521 lines was used to construct a high-density genetic linkage map and to identify QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance following restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing. The genetic map, which included 5120 SNP markers, covered a length of 3179 cM with an average marker distance of 0.6 cM. Four QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance were mapped on four chromosomes. One major QTL, qBWA12 , with LOD score of 32.8–66.0 and PVE of 31.2–44.8%, was stably detected in all four development stages investigated over the 3 trial years. Additionally, qBWA12 spanned a 2.7 cM region, corresponding to approximately 0.4 Mb and was fine mapped to a 216.7 kb region by applying KASP markers that were polymorphic between the two parents based on whole-genome resequencing data. In a large collection of breeding and germplasm lines, it was proved that KASP marker A12.4097252 can be applied for the marker-assisted breeding to develop peanut varieties resistant to bacterial wilt. Of the 19 candidate genes in the region covered by qBWA12 , nine NBS-LRR genes should be further investigated regarding their potential contribution to the resistance of peanut against bacterial wilt.

Autophagy plays a double-edged sword role in liver diseases - Jing-chao Zhou; Jing-lin Wang; Hao-zhen Ren; Xiao-lei Shi (Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 2022)
As a highly evolutionarily conserved process, autophagy can be found in all types of eukaryotic cells. Such a constitutive process maintains cellular homeostasis in a wide variety of cell types through the encapsulation of damaged proteins or organelles into double-membrane vesicles. Autophagy not only simply eliminates materials but also serves as a dynamic recycling system that produces new building blocks and energy for cellular renovation and homeostasis. Previous studies have primarily recognized the role of autophagy in the degradation of dysfunctional proteins and unwanted organelles. However, there are findings of autophagy in physiological and pathological processes. In hepatocytes, autophagy is not only essential for homeostatic functions but also implicated in some diseases, such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and hepatic failure. In the present review, we summarized the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and its role in several liver diseases and put forward several new strategies for the treatment of liver disease.

Soil phosphorus (P) availability often limits plant productivity. Classical theories suggest that total P content declines at the temporal scale of pedogenesis, and ecosystems develop toward the efficient use of scarce P during succession. However, the trajectory of ecosystem P within shorter time scales of succession remains unclear. We analyzed changes to P pools at the early (I), middle (II), and late (III) stages of growth of plantation forests (PFs) and the successional stages of natural forests (NFs) at 1969 sites in China. We found significantly lower P contents at later growth stages compared to earlier ones in the PF ( p p

Water Temperature at Different Depths Affects the Distribution of Neon Flying Squid (Ommastrephes bartramii) in the Northwest Pacific Ocean - Jintao Wang; Yiqi Cheng; Huajie Lu; Xinjun Chen; Lei Lin; Junbo Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Ommastrephes bartramii can vertically swim during its life, and previous studies have suggested the need to account for preferred habitat distribution influenced by water temperatures at different depths. To explore the impacts of deep-water temperature on O. bartramii spatial distribution, we constructed generalized additive models (GAMs) based on the Chinese squid-jigging fishery data and the Argo deep water temperature data during 2005–2018 in the Northwest Pacific Ocean to analyze the relationships between the local abundance of O. bartramii and deep-water temperatures. The results showed that the variables including surface water temperature ( T 0 ), water temperature at 30- and 100-m depths ( T 30 and T 100 ), and water differences between T 0 and T 30 ( D 0–30 ) significantly affected the spatial distribution of O. bartramii . The suitable ranges of each variable are different, > 15.5°C for T 0 , 11–18°C for T 30 , < 6°C for T 100 , and 4–4.5°C for D 0–30 . The areas occupied by the suitable T 30 seemed to reflect the outline of fishing ground, whereas the areas with suitable T 100 were to indicate the high density of O. bartramii . The predicted suitable habitat area and high-density area for O. bartramii are also regulated by El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. We demonstrated how the estimates of O. bartramii spatial distribution would vary influenced by deep-water temperatures in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. This information may help develop an appropriate method for investigating the effects of deep-water temperature on species with vertical migration.

Larval Fish Assemblages and Distribution Patterns in the Zhongsha Atoll (Macclesfield Bank, South China Sea) - Delian Huang; Jing Chen; Lei Xu; Xuehui Wang; Jiajia Ning; Yafang Li; Lianggen Wang; Shuangshuang Liu; Zhaojin Lin; Feiyan Du (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The remote coral reef in the deep sea is one of the most important nursery grounds for many marine fishes in the South China Sea. Diversity studies on larval fishes in this area are few, and the fish information on the coral reefs ecosystem is lacking. In this study, larval fishes were sampled during the summer of 2019 from the Zhongsha Atoll in the South China Sea and identified using DNA barcodes for the first time. Ninety-five larval fish species were recognized, belonging to 37 families and 12 orders based on morphological classification and DNA barcoding identification. The larval fish collected could be assigned to three categories as reef-associated, deep-sea, and pelagic. Most of the species were small fish with low commercial value but would play an essential role in the coral reef ecosystem. Some commercial fishes, including Auxis thazard, Euthynnus affinis, Sarda orientalis, Decapterus macarellus, Lutjanus viridis , and Centropyge vrolikii , were the dominant species higher than 2% total catch. The larval fish assemblage showed distinct spatial differences responding well with the geographical conditions. The most reef-associated fish occurred inside the Atoll, and the abyssal fish presented near the edge. In addition, larval fish spread over from the southwest to northeast may reflect the oceanography effect.

Generation and characterization of a Myh6-driven Cre knockin mouse line - Xinyan Huang; Lei Yan; Shan Kou; Jufeng Meng; Zhengkai Lu; Chao-Po Lin; Chen Liu; Hui Zhang (Transgenic Research, 2021)
Gene deletion by the Cre-Loxp system has facilitated functional studies of many critical genes in mice, offering important insights and allowing deeper understanding on the mechanisms underlying organ development and diseases, such as heart development and diseases. In this study, we generated a Myh6-Cre knockin mouse model by inserting the IRES-Cre-wpre-polyA cassette between the translational stop codon and the 3′ untranslated region of the endogenous Myh6 gene. By crossing knockin mice with the Rosa26 reporter lines, we found that Myh6-Cre targeted cardiomyocytes at the embryonic and postnatal stages. In addition, we were able to inactivate the desmosome gene Desmoplakin (Dsp) by breeding Myh6-Cre mice with a conditional Dsp flox knockout mouse line, which resulted in embryonic lethality during the mid-term pregnancy. These results suggest that the new Myh6-Cre mouse line can serve as a robust tool to dissect the distinct roles of genes involved in heart development and function.

Surface Chlorophyll-A Fronts in the Yellow and Bohai Seas Based on Satellite Data - Lu Xia; Hao Liu; Lei Lin; Yueqi Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Chlorophyll fronts are important to monitor and map the oceanic front, especially in the season when sea surface temperature (SST) fronts weaken. In this study, surface chlorophyll-a (chl-a) fronts in the Yellow and Bohai seas were characterized for the first time using satellite data. Five distinct chl-a fronts (i.e., the Bohai Strait, Shandong Peninsula, Jiangsu, Liaodong Peninsula, and Korean Peninsula fronts) were observed in summer along the 40 m isobaths and faded in other seasons. Notably, these fronts coincided with SST fronts. Strong chl-a fronts emerged during summer due to chl-a blooms in eutrophic coastal waters paired with surface chl-a fading in strongly stratified offshore waters and coastal physical fronts. Although SST fronts were strong during winter, light limitation and strong vertical mixing in offshore waters led to low chl-a in both coastal and offshore waters, suppressing chl-a front formation. Both chl-a and SST fronts coincided with steep seabed slopes (slope ratio > 1), suggesting that seabed slope may be an indicator of oceanic front location.

Fighting climate change: soil bacteria communities and topography play a role in plant colonization of desert areas - Xiao Sun; Jin Pei; Lei Zhao; Bashir Ahmad; Lin‐Fang Huang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Global warming has exacerbated desertification in arid regions. Exploring the environmental variables and microbial communities that drive the dynamics of geographic patterns of desert crops is important for large‐scale standardization of crops that can control desertification. Here, predictions based on future climate data from CMIP6 show that a steady expand in the suitable production areas for three desert plants ( Cistanche deserticola , Cynomorium songaricum and Cistanche salsa ) under global warming, demonstrating their high adaptability to future climate change. We examined the biogeography of three desert plant soil bacteria communities and assessed the environmental factors affecting the community assembly process. The α‐diversity significantly decreased along elevated latitudes, indicating that the soil bacterial communities of the three species have latitude diversity patterns. The neutral community model evaluated 66.6% of the explained variance of the bacterial community in the soil of desert plants and Modified Stochasticity Ratio Streptomyces eurythermus and OTU4672: Streptomyces flaveus ) drive the colonization of three desert plants. This research offers a promising solution for desert management in arid areas under global warming.

Hemodialysis (HD) is associated with cognitive impairment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the neural mechanism of spatial working memory (SWM) impairment in HD-ESRD patients remains unclear. We investigated the abnormal alterations in SWM-associated brain activity patterns in HD-ESRD patients using blood oxygen level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) technique during n-back tasks. Twenty-two HD-ESRD patients and 22 well-matched controls underwent an fMRI scan while undergoing a three-load n-back tasks with different difficulty levels. Cognitive and mental states were assessed using a battery of neuropsychologic tests. The HD-ESRD patients exhibited worse memory abilities than controls. Compared with the control group, the HD-ESRD patient group showed lower accuracy and longer response time under the n-back tasks, especially in the 2-back task. The patterns of brain activation changed under different working memory loads in the HD-ESRD patients, showing decreased activity in the right medial frontal gyrus and inferior frontal gyrus under 0-back and 1-back task, while more decreased activation in the bilateral frontal cortex, parietal lobule, anterior/posterior cingulate cortex and insula cortex under 2-back task. With the increase of task difficulty, the activation degree of the frontal and parietal cortex decreased. More importantly, we found that lower activation in frontal cortex and parietal lobule was associated with worse cognitive function in the HD-ESRD patients. These results demonstrate that the abnormal brain activity patterns of frontal cortex and parietal lobule may reflect the neural mediation of SWM impairment.

Research on Accurate Prediction of the Container Ship Resistance by RBFNN and Other Machine Learning Algorithms - Yunfei Yang; Haiwen Tu; Lei Song; Lin Chen; De Xie; Jianglong Sun (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Resistance is one of the important performance indicators of ships. In this paper, a prediction method based on the Radial Basis Function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed to predict the resistance of a 13500 transmission extension unit (13500TEU) container ship at different drafts. The predicted draft state in the known range is called interpolation prediction; otherwise, it is extrapolation prediction. First, ship features are extracted to make the resistance Rt prediction. The resistance prediction results show that the performance of the RBFNN is significantly better than the other four machine learning models, backpropagation neural network (BPNN), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). Then, the ship data is processed in a dimensionless manner, and the models mentioned above are used to predict the total resistance coefficient Ct of the container ship. The prediction results show that the RBFNN prediction model still performs well. Good results can be obtained by RBFNN in interpolation prediction, even when using part of dimensionless features. Finally, the accuracy of the prediction method based on RBFNN is greatly improved compared with the modified admiralty coefficient.

Species Diversity of the Pleurostomatid Ciliate Genus Amphileptus (Ciliophora, Haptoria), With Notes on the Taxonomy and Molecular Phylogeny of Three Species - Lei Wu; Jiqiu Li; Alan Warren; Xiaofeng Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Amphileptus is one of the largest genera of pleurostomatid ciliates and its species diversity has been reported in various habitats all over the world. In the present work, we review its biodiversity based on data with reliable morphological records. Our work confirms that there are 50 valid Amphileptus species, some of which have a wide range of salinity adaptability and diverse lifestyles. This genus has a high diversity in China but this might be because of the relatively intensive sampling. Phylogenetic analyses based on SSU rDNA sequence data verify the non-monophyly of the genus Amphileptus . Furthermore, two new and one poorly known Amphileptus species, namely A. shenzhenensis sp. n., A. cocous sp. n., and A . multinucleatus Wang, 1934 , from coastal habitats of southern China were investigated using morphological and molecular phylogenetic methods. These three species are highly similar based on their contractile vacuoles and macronuclear nodules. However, they can be discriminated by details of their living morphology and somatic kineties. We also propose two new combinations, Amphileptus polymicronuclei ( Li, 1990 ) comb. n. (original combination Hemiophrys polymicronuclei Li, 1990 ) and Amphileptus salimicus ( Burkovsky, 1970b ) comb. n. (original combination Hemiophrys salimica Burkovsky, 1970b ).
