Morphological Tracing and Functional Identification of Monosynaptic Connections in the Brain: A Comprehensive Guide - Yuanyuan Li; Yuanyuan Fang; Kaiyuan Li; Hongbin Yang; Shumin Duan; Li Sun (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2024)
Behavioral studies play a crucial role in unraveling the mechanisms underlying brain function. Recent advances in optogenetics, neuronal typing and labeling, and circuit tracing have facilitated the dissection of the neural circuitry involved in various important behaviors. The identification of monosynaptic connections, both upstream and downstream of specific neurons, serves as the foundation for understanding complex neural circuits and studying behavioral mechanisms. However, the practical implementation and mechanistic understanding of monosynaptic connection tracing techniques and functional identification remain challenging, particularly for inexperienced researchers. Improper application of these methods and misinterpretation of results can impede experimental progress and lead to erroneous conclusions. In this paper, we present a comprehensive description of the principles, specific operational details, and key steps involved in tracing anterograde and retrograde monosynaptic connections. We outline the process of functionally identifying monosynaptic connections through the integration of optogenetics and electrophysiological techniques, providing practical guidance for researchers.

Sox17 protects human brain microvascular endothelial cells from AngII-induced injury by regulating autophagy and apoptosis - Yanyan Wang; Marong Fang; Qiannan Ren; Wei Qi; Xinli Bai; Nashwa Amin; Xiangjian Zhang; Zhenzhong Li; Lihong Zhang (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2024)
Intracranial aneurysm (IA), is a localized dilation of the intracranial arteries, the rupture of which is catastrophic. Hypertension is major IA risk factor that mediates endothelial cell damage. Sox17 is highly expressed in intracranial vascular endothelial cells, and GWAS studies indicate that its genetic alteration is one of the major genetic risk factors for IA. Vascular endothelial cell injury plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of IA. The genetic ablation of Sox17 plus hypertension induced by AngII can lead to an increased incidence of intracranial aneurysms had tested in the previous animal experiments. In order to study the underlying molecular mechanisms, we established stable Sox17-overexpressing and knockdown cell lines in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) first. Then flow cytometry, western blotting, and immunofluorescence were employed. We found that the knockdown of Sox17 could worsen the apoptosis and autophagy of HBMECs caused by AngII, while overexpression of Sox17 had the opposite effect. Transmission electron microscopy displayed increased autophagosomes after the knockdown of Sox17 in HBMECs. The RNA-sequencing analysis shown that dysregulation of the Sox17 gene was closely associated with the autophagy-related pathways. Our study suggests that Sox17 could protect HBMECs from AngII-induced injury by regulating autophagy and apoptosis.

Protective Effect of CXCR7 Against Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Injury in Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells - Ping Meng; Chunli Liu; Jingchun Li; Ping Fang; Liling Chen (Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2024)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a multifactorial syndrome with complex pathophysiology and prognosis. Ischaemia‒reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major cause of induced AKI. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of upregulated CXCR7 expression on renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). HK-2 cells were divided into three groups: control group (pcDNA3.1), hypoxia/reoxygenation + pcDNA3.1 group (H/R+pcDNA3.1) and CXCR7 overexpression + hypoxia/reoxygenation group (H/R+ Flag-CXCR7). Protein levels of renal tubular epithelial cell injury-, apoptosis- and autophagy-related markers were assessed by qRT‒PCR, Western blotting, flow cytometry (FCM), immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, HK-2 cells were treated with the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA and divided into 3 groups: control group, 3-MA + pcDNA3.1 group, and 3-MA + Flag-CXCR7 group. Changes in autophagy and apoptosis in renal tubule epithelial cells were assessed by Western blotting and FCM. Compared with those in the control group, the protein and mRNA expression levels of CXCR7 in HK-2 cells were significantly lower under H/R conditions. Under H/R conditions, CXCR7 overexpression in HK-2 cells significantly downregulated the expression of NGAL. Moreover, CXCR7 overexpression significantly decreased H/R-induced cleaved PARP-1 and cleaved Caspase 3 levels, increased the level of the antiapoptotic protein BCL-2 and the autophagy-related molecules ATG5 and LC3B II, and significantly inhibited the expression of P62. Autophagy flow and TEM also showed that CXCR7 significantly promoted autophagy. CXCR7 significantly alleviated the 3-MA-induced inhibition of autophagy and increase in apoptosis. Upregulated CXCR7 expression can inhibit renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis and damage by regulating autophagy. In conclusion, CXCR7 is a promising target for the prevention and/or treatment of AKI.

The Effects of Controlling Gas Escape and Bottom Current Activity on the Evolution of Pockmarks in the Northwest of the Xisha Uplift, South China Sea - Xuelin Li; Xudong Guo; Fei Tian; Xiaochen Fang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2024)
Submarine pockmarks are typical indicators of submarine gas escape activity. The deep strata of the Xisha Uplift are rich in biogenic and thermogenic gas, accompanied by strong bottom current activity. Investigating the effects of controlling submarine gas escape and bottom current activity on the formation and development of pockmarks in the Xisha Uplift is significant for understanding the evolution of submarine topography and geomorphology. This study utilized high-resolution multibeam data to identify 261 submarine pockmarks in the northwest of the Xisha Uplift. These pockmarks were categorized based on their morphology into circular, elliptical, elongated, crescent-shaped, and irregular types. The diameters of pockmarks in the study area range from 0.21 to 4.96 km, with maximum depths reaching 30.88 m. Using high-resolution multi-channel seismic data, we conducted a detailed analysis of the subsurface strata characteristics of the pockmarks, identifying chaotic weak reflections, bright spots, and high-angle reflectors. We believe that deep gas in the northwest of the Xisha Uplift escapes to the seafloor through migration pathways, such as faults, fractures, and gas chimneys, resulting in the formation of submarine pockmarks. Bottom current activity has a significant impact on already-formed pockmarks. Crescent-shaped and elongated pockmarks in the Xisha Uplift are largely the result of bottom current modifications of pre-existing pockmarks.

Fucoidan changes lipid accumulation in the liver of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) by modulating lipid and glucose metabolism - Fang Li; Hanchang Sun; Jianxi Mei; Yaxin Deng; Guangdi Hu; Chengke Zhu; Xiao Xiang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2024)
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary fucoidan levels (0 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, 1,000 mg/kg, 1,500 mg/kg, and 2,000 mg/kg) on the hepatic ultrastructure and the transcriptomic landscape within the liver tissue of common carp. The results revealed that the addition of 1,000 mg/kg fucoidan to the diet significantly altered the ultrastructure of hepatocytes. Notably, the quantities of lipid droplets, autolysosomes, enlarged mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum were increased in the hepatocytes. The liver transcriptome analysis revealed that DEGs were notably abundant in the 1,000-mg/kg fucoidan group in glucolipid metabolism signaling pathways, including eukaryotes and nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, steroid biosynthesis, and PPAR signaling pathways. The quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) results showed an excellent agreement on those of RNA-seq for both up- and down-regulated genes (a total of 13 genes selected for validation). Furthermore, fucoidan significantly influenced hepatic glucolipid metabolism of common carp at the mRNA level. Notably, the inclusion of lower concentrations of fucoidan in the diet, specifically at 500 mg/kg and 1,000 mg/kg, was found to significantly enhance the expression of mRNA for genes involved in glycolysis, including hk, gk, and pk, as well as genes linked to lipogenesis, such as srebf1, fasn, elovl5, acsl3a, scd, fads2, and cyp24a1. Conversely, higher concentrations of dietary fucoidan, at 1,500 mg/kg and 2,000 mg/kg, were observed to markedly upregulate the mRNA expression of genes associated with gluconeogenesis, including pck1, pck2, gs, gsk3a, gsk3b, and g6pca.1, along with genes related to lipolysis, such as hadhb, acadl, ecil, acacba, cpt1, fabp1, and fabp3. In summary, varying levels of fucoidan intake appear to exert differential influences on the hepatic glucolipid metabolism of common carp, suggesting a complex dose-dependent regulatory mechanism. For the first time, this research has established that fucoidan possesses a pronounced regulatory influence on the hepatic glucolipid metabolism in fish. This discovery not only underscores its potential as an immunostimulant but also opens new avenues for its application as a feed additive, with implications for modulating the nutritional metabolism of aquatic species.

Exosomal MicroRNAs modulate the cognitive function in fasudil treated APPswe/PSEN1dE9 transgenic (APP/PS1) mice model of Alzheimer’s disease - Yuqing Yan; Ye Gao; Gajendra Kumar; Qingli Fang; Hailong Yan; Nianping Zhang; Yuna Zhang; Lijuan Song; Jiehui Li; Yucheng Zheng; Nan Zhang; Peijun Zhang; et al. (Metabolic Brain Disease, 2024)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive decline stemming from the accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and the propagation of tau pathology through synapses. Exosomes, crucial mediators in neuronal development, maintenance, and intercellular communication, have gained attention in AD research. Yet, the molecular mechanisms involving exosomal miRNAs in AD remain elusive. In this study, we treated APPswe/PSEN1dE9 transgenic (APP/PS1) mice, a model for AD, with either vehicle (ADNS) or fasudil (ADF), while C57BL/6 (control) mice received vehicle (WT). Cognitive function was evaluated using the Y-maze test, and AD pathology was confirmed through immunostaining and western blot analysis of Aβ plaques and phosphorylated tau. Exosomal RNAs were extracted, sequenced, and analyzed from each mouse group. Our findings revealed that fasudil treatment improved cognitive function in AD mice, as evidenced by increased spontaneous alternation in the Y-maze test and reduced Aβ plaque load and phosphorylated tau protein expression in the hippocampus. Analysis of exosomal miRNAs identified three miRNAs (mmu-let-7i-5p, mmu-miR-19a-3p, mmu-miR-451a) common to both ADNS vs ADF and WT vs ADNS groups. Utilizing miRTarBase software, we predicted and analyzed target genes associated with these miRNAs. Gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of miRNA target genes indicated that mmu-miR-19a-3p and mmu-miR-451a are implicated in signal transduction, immune response, cellular communication, and nervous system pathways. Specifically, mmu-miR-19a-3p targeted genes involved in the sphingolipid signaling pathway, such as Pten and Tnf, while mmu-miR-451a targeted Nsmaf, Gnai3, and Akt3. Moreover, mmu-miR-451a targeted Myc in signaling pathways regulating the pluripotency of stem cells. In conclusion, fasudil treatment enhanced cognitive function by modulating exosomal MicroRNAs, particularly mmu-miR-451a and mmu-miR-19a-3p. These miRNAs hold promise as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for novel AD treatments. Graphical Abstract

YAP/TAZ-TEAD activity promotes the malignant transformation of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia through enhancing the characteristics and Warburg effect of cancer stem cells - Shu Li; Xing Li; Yong-bin Yang; Su-fang Wu (Apoptosis, 2024)
A number of studies have confirmed that Yes-associated protein (YAP)/transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ)-transcriptional enhanced associate domain (TEAD) activity is the driver of cancer development. However, the role and mechanism of the YAP/TAZ-TEAD pathway in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) remain to be clarified. Therefore, this study was designed to observe the effect of YAP/TAZ-TEAD activity on the development of CIN and provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of CIN. Firstly, cervical tissues were collected from CIN patients in different stages [CIN grade 1 (CIN1) tissue, CIN grade 2/3 (CIN 2/3) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)] and healthy volunteers. Next, the expression levels of YAP, TAZ and TEAD in cervical tissues and cells were observed by immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR and western blot. Besides, Z172 and Z183 cells were transfected with siRNA-YAP/TAZ (si-YAP/TAZ) and YAP/TAZ overexpression vector (YAP-5SA). Also, Z172 cells were co-transfected with YAP-5SA and si-TEAD2/4. Subsequently, the stemness characteristics, glycolysis level and malignant transformation of cells in each group were observed by sphere-formation assay, commercial kit, MTT, Transwell, scratch experiment, xenotransplantation and western blot.The expression of YAP, TAZ and TEAD increased significantly in cervical cancer tissue and cell line at the stage of CIN2/3 and SCC. When YAP/TAZ was knocked down, the stemness characteristics, glycolysis level and malignant transformation of cancer cells were notably inhibited; while activating YAP/TAZ exhibited a completely opposite result. In addition, activating YAP/TAZ and knocking down the TEAD expression at the same time significant weakened the effect of activated YAP/TAZ signal on precancerous cells and reduced inhibitory effect of knocking down TEAD alone. YAP/TAZ-TEAD signal activates the characteristics and Warburg effect of cancer stem cells, thereby promoting the malignant transformation of CIN.

Enhanced silicate rock weathering (ERW) is an emerging strategy for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere to mitigate anthropogenic climate change. ERW aims at promoting soil inorganic carbon sequestration by accelerating geochemical weathering processes. Theoretically, ERW may also impact soil organic carbon (SOC), the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems, but experimental evidence for this is largely lacking. Here, we conducted a 2‐year field experiment in tropical rubber plantations in the southeast of China to evaluate the effects of wollastonite powder additions (0, 0.25, and 0.5 kg m −2 ) on both soil organic and inorganic carbon at 0–10 cm depth. We found that ERW significantly increased the concentration of SOC and HCO 3 − , but the increases in SOC were four and eight times higher than that of HCO 3 − with low‐ and high‐level wollastonite applications. ERW had positive effects on the accrual of organic carbon in mineral‐associated organic matter (MAOM) and macroaggregate fractions, but not on particulate organic matter. Path analysis suggested that ERW increased MAOM mainly by increasing the release of Ca, Si, and Fe, and to a lesser extent by stimulating root growth and microbial‐derived carbon inputs. Our study indicates that ERW with wollastonite can promote SOC sequestration in stable MOAM in surface soils through both the soil mineral carbon pump and microbial carbon pump. These effects may have been larger than the inorganic CDR during our experiment. We argue it is essential to account for the responses of SOC in the assessments of CDR by ERW.

Micro/nanoplastics pollution poses a potential threat to soil health - Li Chen; Tianyi Qiu; Fengyu Huang; Yi Zeng; Yongxing Cui; Jing Chen; Jason C. White; Linchuan Fang (Global Change Biology, 2024)
Micro/nanoplastic (MNP) pollution in soil ecosystems has become a growing environmental concern globally. However, the comprehensive impacts of MNPs on soil health have not yet been explored. We conducted a hierarchical meta‐analysis of over 5000 observations from 228 articles to assess the broad impacts of MNPs on soil health parameters (represented by 20 indicators relevant to crop growth, animal health, greenhouse gas emissions, microbial diversity, and pollutant transfer) and whether the impacts depended on MNP properties. We found that MNP exposure significantly inhibited crop biomass and germination, and reduced earthworm growth and survival rate. Under MNP exposure, the emissions of soil greenhouse gases (CO 2 , N 2 O, and CH 4 ) were significantly increased. MNP exposure caused a decrease in soil bacteria diversity. Importantly, the magnitude of impact of the soil‐based parameters was dependent on MNP dose and size; however, there is no significant difference in MNP type (biodegradable and conventional MNPs). Moreover, MNPs significantly reduced As uptake by plants, but promoted plant Cd accumulation. Using an analytical hierarchy process, we quantified the negative impacts of MNP exposure on soil health as a mean value of −10.2% (−17.5% to −2.57%). Overall, this analysis provides new insights for assessing potential risks of MNP pollution to soil ecosystem functions.
