(Inflammation Research, 2023)
Objectives and design Dendritic cells (DCs) are one of the key immune cells in bridging innate and adaptive immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. Interferons (IFNs) play important roles in regulating DC activation and function. Virus-inhibitory protein, endoplasmic reticulum-associated, interferon-inducible (Viperin) is one of the important IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs), and elicits host defense against infection. Methods We investigated the effects and mechanisms of Viperin on DC activation and function using Viperin deficient bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) during Mtb infection. Results Viperin deficiency enhanced phagocytic activity and increased clearance of Mtb in DCs, produced higher abundance of NO, cytokine including interleukin-12 (IL-12), Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α ), IL-1 β , IL-6 and chemokine including CXCL1, CXCL2 and CXCL10, elevated MHC I, MHC II and co-stimulatory molecules expression, and enhanced CD4 + and CD8 + T cell responses. Mechanistically, Viperin deficiency promoted DC activation and function through NF-κB p65 activation. NF-κB p65 inhibitor prevented cytokine and chemokine production, and co-stimulatory molecules expression promoted by Viperin deficiency. Conclusions These results suggest that Mtb induced Viperin expression could impair the activation of host defense function of DCs and DC-T cell cross talk during Mtb infection. This research may provide a potential target for future HDT in TB therapy.

Effects of land clearing for agriculture on soil organic carbon stocks in drylands: A meta‐analysis - Yuangang Wang; Geping Luo; Chaofan Li; Hui Ye; Haiyang Shi; Binbin Fan; Wenqiang Zhang; Chen Zhang; Mingjuan Xie; Yu Zhang (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Agricultural activities have been expanding globally with the pressure to provide food security to the earth's growing population. These agricultural activities have profoundly impacted soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in global drylands. However, the effects of clearing natural ecosystems for cropland (CNEC) on SOC are uncertain. To improve our understanding of carbon emissions and sequestration under different land uses, it is necessary to characterize the response patterns of SOC stocks to different types of CNEC. We conducted a meta‐analysis with mixed‐effect model based on 873 paired observations of SOC in croplands and adjacent natural ecosystems from 159 individual studies in global drylands. Our results indicate that CNEC significantly ( p p −1 ). The results derived from our meta‐analysis could be used for refining the estimation of dryland carbon dynamics and developing SOC sequestration strategies to achieve the removal of CO 2 from the atmosphere.

The dose-dependent effect of 1.5-GHz microwave exposure on spatial memory and the NMDAR pathway in Wistar rats - Hui Wang; Lequan Song; Li Zhao; Haoyu Wang; Xinping Xu; Ji Dong; Jing Zhang; Binwei Yao; Xuelong Zhao; Ruiyun Peng (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
A certain power of microwave radiation could cause changes in the nervous, cardiovascular, and other systems of the body, and the brain was a sensitive target organ of microwave radiation injury. Studies have shown that microwaves can impair cognitive functions in humans and animals, such as learning and memory, attention, and orientation. The dose-dependent effect of microwave radiation is still unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of 1.5-GHz microwaves with different average power densities on locative learning and memory abilities, hippocampal structure, and related N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) signalling pathway proteins in rats. A total number of 140 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: S group (sham exposure), L5 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 5 mW/cm 2 ), L30 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 30 mW/cm 2 ), and L50 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 50 mW/cm 2 ). Changes in spatial learning and memory, EEG activity, hippocampal structure, and NMDAR signalling pathway molecules were detected from 6 h to 28 d after microwave exposure. After exposure to 1.5-GHz microwaves, rats in the L30 and L50 groups showed impaired spatial memory, inhibited EEG activity, pyknosis and hyperchromatism of neuron nucleus, and changes in NMDAR subunits and downstream signalling molecules. In conclusion, 1.5-GHz microwaves with an average power density of 5, 30, and 50 mW/cm 2 could induce spatial memory dysfunction, hippocampal structure changes, and changes in protein levels in rats, and there was a defined dose-dependent effect.

Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation Regulates MCT1-PPA-PTEN-LONP1 Signaling to Confer Neuroprotection After Rat Cerebral Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury - Xiangyi Kong; Wenjie Hu; Yu Cui; Jingchen Gao; Xujin Yao; Jinyang Ren; Tao Lin; Jiangdong Sun; Yunyi Gao; Xiaohua Li; Hui Wang; Huanting Li; et al. (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Propionic acid (PPA) is a critical metabolite involved in microbial fermentation, which functions to reduce fat production, inhibit inflammation, and reduce serum cholesterol levels. The role of PPA in the context of cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury has yet to be clarified. Increasing evidence indicate that transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe approach that confers neuroprotection in cerebral ischemia injury. Here, we show that the levels of PPA were reduced in the ischemic brain following a rat cerebral I/R injury and in the cultured rat cortical neurons after oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD), an in vitro model of ischemic injury. We found that the decreased levels of transporter protein monocarboxylate transporter-1 (MCT1) were responsible for the OGD-induced reduction of PPA. Supplementing PPA reduced ischemia-induced neuronal death after I/R. Moreover, our results revealed that the neuroprotective effect of PPA is mediated through downregulation of phosphatase PTEN and subsequent upregulation of Lon protease 1 (LONP1). We demonstrated that direct-current stimulation (DCS) increased MCT1 expression and PPA level in OGD-insulted neurons, while tDCS decreased the brain infarct volume in the MCAO rats via increasing the levels of MCT1 expression and PPA. This study supports a potential application of tDCS in ischemic stroke.

Changes of production and consumption structures in coastal regions lead to mercury emission control in China - Qiumeng Zhong; Hui Li; Sai Liang; Jetashree; Xiaohui Wu; Jianchuan Qi; Shuxiao Wang (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2022)
China is important in the global mercury (Hg) cycle and is experiencing substantial economic structure transitions. There are pronounced differences in economic development, industrial structure, and consumption patterns across regions in China. However, the impacts of regional economic structure transitions (i.e., production and final demand structures) on Hg emissions in China remain unknown. Here, we reveal the transboundary impacts of changes in regional economic structures on provincial Hg emissions in China. We found that the transitions of production and final demand structures in coastal regions led to Hg emission reductions in China during 2007–2017. In particular, production structure changes in East Coast contributed to 36 metric tons of national Hg emission reduction, where 28 metric tons occurred in other regions (especially Hebei). Its final demand structure transition contributed to 19 metric tons of national emission reduction, where 15 metric tons occurred in other regions (especially Henan). Unfortunately, production structure changes in Northwest and final demand structure changes in Southwest contributed to Hg emission increments in China during 2007–2017. For instance, changes in the final demand structure of Southwest caused 34 metric tons of emission increments, mainly from provinces within the region. Thus, spatially explicit measures for China's Hg emission control can focus on the optimizations of production structure in Northwest and final demand structure in Southwest, as well as the promotion of interregional joint actions between East Coast and North China (especially Hebei and Henan). The findings of this study can inform region‐specific policy decisions and interregional joint efforts to control Hg emissions around the world.

Aeromonas hydrophila is a common pathogen of freshwater fish. In this study, A. hydrophila infection was shown to cause tissue damage, trigger physiological changes as well as alter the expression profiles of immune‐ and metabolic‐related genes in immune tissues of red crucian carp (RCC). Transcriptome analysis revealed that acute A. hydrophila infection exerted a profound effect on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation linking metabolic regulation to immune response. In addition, we further identified cellular senescence, apoptosis, necrosis and mitogen‐activated protein kinase signal pathways as crucial signal pathways in the kidney of RCC subjected to A. hydrophila infection. These findings may have important implications for understanding modulation of immunometabolic response to bacterial infection.

Reference evapotranspiration estimation using long short‐term memory network and wavelet‐coupled long short‐term memory network - Xiaoxu Long; Jiandong Wang; Shihong Gong; Guangyong Li; Hui Ju (Irrigation and Drainage, 2022)
Evapotranspiration (ET) is a vital component of the hydrological cycle, and accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) is of great importance in agriculture water resources planning and management. In this study, long short‐term memory network (LSTM), artificial neural network (ANN), extreme learning machine (ELM), and their wavelet‐coupled models were used for daily ET 0 estimation. For comparison purposes, this study also investigated the ET 0 estimation capability of three typical empirical models, that is, the Hargreaves–Samani (HS) equation, Penman (PM) equation, and Priestley–Taylor (PT) equation. Daily meteorological data were obtained from two weather stations, Beijing and Baoding, located in the northern part of the North China Plain. Results demonstrated that single machine learning (ML) models, for example, ANN, ELM, LSTM, are steadier and generally have better overall performance than wavelet‐coupled ML models. Besides, the LSTM model performed best among the single ML models and was far superior to the HS, PM, and PT models. The LSTM model helped the root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) of the ANN and ELM models decrease by 5%–69% and 8%–72%, respectively. Moreover, the LSTM model helped the RMSE and MAE of the empirical models decrease by 6%–83% and 5%–84%, respectively.

Future precipitation changes in three key sub-regions of East Asia: the roles of thermodynamics and dynamics - Jiao Li; Yang Zhao; Deliang Chen; Yanzhen Kang; Hui Wang (Climate Dynamics, 2022)
Previous studies have projected an increase in future summer precipitation across East Asia (EA). This study investigates the relative contributions of thermodynamic and dynamic components to future precipitation changes in three key sub-regions of EA where the maximum centers of the historical precipitation are located (the tropical region, East China, and the Japan and Korea sector), and analyzes the causes of the changes in thermodynamic and dynamic components. Outputs from 30 climate models of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) are used. From these, the five best-performing models for historical summer precipitation climatology for EA are selected. The future summer precipitations in the three sub-regions over the near- to mid-term (2020–2069) and the long-term (2070–2095) are then examined using the multi-model ensemble mean of the five models selected (MMM05). The projections were driven by four combined scenarios of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and forcing levels of the Representative Concentration Pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5). The results show that long-term precipitations under SSP5-8.5 are greater than those under the other scenarios across all sub-regions. After the 2070s under SSP5-8.5, a marked precipitation intensification is identified in all three sub-regions, but with different rates of increase. The projected precipitation increase is primarily attributed to the thermodynamic component, while the dynamic component related to circulation changes is relatively weak. Further analysis indicates that the pattern of the thermodynamic component in the three sub-regions is dominated by the climatological upward motion, mediated by an increase in moisture.

Canagliflozin mitigates ferroptosis and ameliorates heart failure in rats with preserved ejection fraction - Sai Ma; Li-Li He; Guo-Rui Zhang; Qing-Juan Zuo; Zhong-Li Wang; Jian-Long Zhai; Ting-Ting Zhang; Yan Wang; Hui-Juan Ma; Yi-Fang Guo (Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2022)
Recently, hypoglycemic drugs belonging to sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have generated significant interest due to their clear cardiovascular benefits for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) since there are no effective drugs that may improve clinical outcomes for these patients over a prolonged period. But, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, particularly its effects on ferroptosis, a newly defined mechanism of iron-dependent non-apoptotic cell death during heart failure (HF). Here, with proteomics, we demonstrated that ferroptosis might be a key mechanism in a rat model of high-salt diet-induced HFpEF, characterized by iron overloading and lipid peroxidation, which was blocked following treatment with canagliflozin. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD029031. The ferroptosis was evaluated with the levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4, glutathione peroxidase 4, ferritin heavy chain 1, transferrin receptor, Ferroportin 1, iron, glutathione, malondialdehyde, and 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal. These findings highlight the fact that targeting ferroptosis may serve as a cardioprotective strategy for HFpEF prevention and suggest that canagliflozin may exert its cardiovascular benefits partly via its mitigation of ferroptosis.

Relationship between summer extreme precipitation anomaly in Central Asia and surface sensible heat variation on the Central-Eastern Tibetan Plateau - Hui Wang; Jie Zhang; Lian Chen; Dongliang Li (Climate Dynamics, 2022)
In the context of global warming, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather and climate events have increased, especially in Central Asia (CA). In this study, we investigate the characteristics of summer extreme precipitation (SEP) in CA and its relationship with the surface sensible heat (SSH) variation over the central–eastern Tibetan Plateau (CETP). The results suggest that the distribution of SEP in CA is extremely uneven, and the SEP thresholds range from 2 to 32 mm/day, and 80% of them are concentrated in 4–10 mm/day. Both the total amount of SEP and the number of SEP days show significant increasing trends, with the climatic tendencies of 4.4 mm/decade and 0.4 day/decade, respectively. The SSH anomalies over the CETP can affect the SEP and summer drought in CA by regulating the strength of South Asia High (SAH) and the subtropical jet over CA. The strong SSH anomalies over the CETP in late spring (April–May) can be transmitted from the lower to the upper layers through the continuous heating to the atmosphere and lead to the anomalously strong subtropical high over northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, the anomalously weak subtropical westerly jet over CA and the anomalously strong SAH in summer. At the same time, the Ural ridge strengthens, the CA trough weakens, and the northern CA is controlled by an anomaly of warm high-pressure ridge. Therefore, the anomaly of water vapor convergence in northern CA weakens. The SEP there will be abnormally less, and the summer drought intensifies. When the SSH over CETP is anomalously weak in late spring, the key circulations are just the opposite. Furthermore, the anomalous water vapor from the Arctic, North Atlantic and western Pacific converges in northern CA and northern Xinjiang, China, which is conducive to the generation of widespread extreme precipitation and the alleviation of summer drought in these regions.

Low soil phosphorus (P) bioavailability causes the widespread occurrence of P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems around the globe. Exploring the factors influencing soil P bioavailability at large spatial scales is critical for managing these ecosystems. However, previous studies have mostly focused on abiotic factors. In this study, we explored the effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability of terrestrial ecosystems using a country‐scale sampling effort. Our results showed that soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and acid phosphatase were important predictors of soil P bioavailability of agro‐ and natural ecosystems across China although they appeared less important than total soil P. The two microbial factors had a positive effect on soil P bioavailability of both ecosystem types and were able to mediate the effects of several abiotic factors (e.g., mean annual temperature). Meanwhile, we revealed that soil phytase could affect soil P bioavailability at the country scale via ways similar to those of soil MBC and acid phosphatase, a pattern being more pronounced in agroecosystems than in natural ecosystems. Moreover, we obtained evidence for the positive effects of microbial genes encoding these enzymes on soil P bioavailability at the country scale although their effect sizes varied between the two ecosystem types. Taken together, this study demonstrated the remarkable effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability at a large spatial scale, highlighting the importance to consider microbial factors in managing the widespread P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems.

Basin‐scale approach needed for Yangtze River fisheries restoration - Binsong Jin; Kirk O. Winemiller; Wenwei Ren; Dave Tickner; Xiaohua Wei; Li Guo; Qin Li; Hui Zhang; Paulo Santos Pompeu; Marc Goichot; Sikai Wang; Ruichang Shen; et al. (Fish and Fisheries, 2022)
The Yangtze River contains the highest fish diversity and most important inland fishery resources in China, but its biota and ecosystem services face an uncertain future. The river and its basin have undergone vast changes from centuries of human impacts, and fish stocks are in a particularly dire situation. A complete 10‐year moratorium on commercial fishing within the entire Yangtze River was implemented starting in January 2021. By itself, the ban on fishing will unlikely guarantee full recovery. We conclude that multiple human impacts to the basin and its fish stocks require multidisciplinary strategies implemented at the whole basin scale for effective conservation.

Model Simulation of Storm Surge in the Northwestern South China Sea Under the Impact of Sea Level Rise: A Case Study of Super Typhoon Rammasun (2014) - Yongdong Zhou; Zekai Ni; Philip Adam Vetter; Hongzhou Xu; Bo Hong; Hui Wang; Wenshan Li; Sumin Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Because of global warming, the sea level is expected to continue to rise, possibly having a significant impact on the intensities and spatial distribution characteristics of coastal storm surges. In this study, we took super typhoon Rammasun (2014) as a case study and applied the SCHISM (Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model) to simulate storm surge in the northwestern South China Sea under future sea level rise (SLR) scenarios. To improve the accuracy of storm surge hindcast, we used reconstructed wind field to drive the model in which ERA5 reanalysis data were superposed on the wind field calculated from the Holland parametric cyclone model. The results show that the storm surge hindcast was significantly improved by using this reconstructed wind forcing. 2-D and 3-D model hindcast capabilities were compared; the 3-D model reproduced the storm surge better. The regional sea level projections in 2050, 2100, 2200, and 2300 for RCP 4.5 scenarios (provided by the IPCC AR6 dataset) were superposed on the original water depth as the predicted sea levels, then those depths were used in models of storm surge in the study area under a typhoon identical to Rammasun. Model results demonstrate that storm surge peaks in most sea areas decrease nearly linearly with SLR, especially in regions of high surges.

GLP-1R Agonist Exendin-4 Protects Against Hemorrhagic Transformation Induced by rtPA After Ischemic Stroke via the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway - Chengli Liu; Shanshan Sun; Jie Xie; Hui Li; Tianyu Li; Qiqi Wu; Yongsheng Zhang; Xiangjun Bai; Jian Wang; Xin Wang; Zhanfei Li; Wei Wang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is recommended by the FDA to dissolve intravascular clots after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, it may contribute to hemorrhagic transformation (HT). The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating the blood–brain barrier (BBB) formation in the central nervous system. We explored whether glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist exendin-4 (EX-4) reduces the risk of HT after rtPA treatment via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by using a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in vivo and an oxygen–glucose deprivation plus reoxygenation (OGD/R) model in vitro. Our results showed that EX-4 attenuated neurological deficits, brain edema, infarct volume, BBB disruption, and rtPA-induced HT in ischemic stroke. EX-4 suppressed the production of ROS and the activation of MMP-9 to protect the integrity of the BBB by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. PRI-724, a selective inhibitor of β-catenin, was able to reverse the therapeutic effect of EX-4 in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, our results indicate that the GLP-1R agonist may be a potential therapeutic agent to decrease the risk of rtPA-induced HT after ischemic stroke via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analyses of CONSTANS-Like Family Genes in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) - Zhen Tian; Xiaodong Qin; Hui Wang; Ji Li; Jinfeng Chen (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2022)
The CONSTANS - like ( COL ) gene family is one of the plant-specific transcription factor families that play important roles in plant growth and development. However, the knowledge of COLs related in cucumber is limited, and their biological functions, especially in the photoperiod-dependent flowering process, are still unclear. In this study, twelve CsaCOL genes were identified in the cucumber genome. Phylogenetic and conserved motif analyses provided insights into the evolutionary relationship between the CsaCOLs . Further, the comparative genome analysis revealed that COL genes are conserved in different plant species, especially collinearity gene pairs related to CsaCOL5 . Ten kinds of cis-acting elements were vividly detected in CsaCOLs promoter regions, including five light-responsive elements, which echo the diurnal rhythm expression patterns of seven CsaCOL genes under SD and LD photoperiod regimes. Combined with the expression data of developmental stage, three CsaCOL genes are involved in the flowering network and play pivotal roles for the floral induction process. Our results provide useful information for further elucidating the structural characteristics, expression patterns, and biological functions of COL family genes in many plants

Shear behavior of sliding zone soil of loess landslides via ring shear tests in the South Jingyang Plateau - Rongsen Zhu; Wan-li Xie; Qiqi Liu; Hui Yang; Qiyao Wang (Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2022)
Since the 1970s, a large number of loess collapses and landslides have occurred in the Loess Plateau of China due to water diversion and irrigation projects. A large amount of ancient landslide deposits are accumulated at the foot of the tableland, which is likely to slide again in the case of a rapid increase in short-term rainfall or long-term irrigation. The weak characteristics of the sliding zone soil often become the key factor affecting the revival of old landslides. To explore the effects of water content and shear rate on shear behavior of the sliding zone soil, a series of ring shear tests were conducted on reconstituted loess in the South Jingyang Plateau. Experimental results suggest that under the condition of normal consolidation, the soil sample with the optimum moisture content has the highest shear strength. The increase in the shear rate effectively reduces the strength of the soil. Because of the high shear rate, the pore water that cannot be dissipated and fine particles accumulated at the shear plane form a weak base (slurry making theory), which cannot be easily stopped once the landslides start, leading to high-speed and long-distance landslides. In addition, the changes in the soil particles and pores were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the observations were consistent with macroscopic results. From these studies, we come to the conclusion that the motion mechanism of reactivated landslide was associated with the interaction of water content and shear rate, which reduces the shear strength of the displaced materials to a great extent.

Natural component plumbagin as a potential antibacterial agent against Streptococcus agalactiae infection - Ai‐Guo Huang; Lin‐Jun Su; Wei‐Hao He; Fa‐Li Zhang; Chao‐Shuai Wei; Ying‐Hui Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Streptococcus agalactiae , also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), can infect humans, terrestrial animals and fish. The emergence of bacterial resistance of S. agalactiae to antibiotics leads to an urgent need of exploration of new antimicrobial agents. In the study, the antibacterial activity of natural component plumbagin (PLB) against S. agalactiae was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PLB against S. agalactiae was 8 mg/L. The growth curve assay revealed that PLB could inhibit the growth of S. agalactiae . In addition, the time‐killing curve showed that S. agalactiae was killed almost completely by 2‐fold MIC of PLB within 12 h. Transmission electron microscopy results showed obvious severe morphological destruction and abnormal cells of S. agalactiae after treated with PLB. The pathogenicity of S. agalactiae to zebrafish was significantly decreased after preincubation with PLB for 2 h in vitro, further indicating the bactericidal activity of PLB. Interestingly, PLB could kill S. agalactiae without inducing resistance development. Furthermore, pretreatment and post‐treatment assays suggested that PLB also exhibited the antibacterial activity against S. agalactiae infection in vivo by effectively reducing the bacterial load and improving the survival rate of S. agalactiae ‐infected zebrafish. In summary, PLB had potent antibacterial activity against S. agalactiae in vitro and in vivo, and it could be an excellent antimicrobial candidate to prevent and control S. agalactiae infection.

Mycorrhizal fungi alleviate acidification‐induced phosphorus limitation: Evidence from a decade‐long field experiment of simulated acid deposition in a tropical forest in south China - Yuanliu Hu; Ji Chen; Dafeng Hui; Ying‐Ping Wang; Jianling Li; Jingwen Chen; Guoyin Chen; Yiren Zhu; Leiyi Zhang; Deqiang Zhang; Qi Deng (Global Change Biology, 2022)
South China has been experiencing very high rate of acid deposition and severe soil acidification in recent decades, which has been proposed to exacerbate the regional ecosystem phosphorus (P) limitation. We conducted a 10‐year field experiment of simulated acid deposition to examine how acidification impacts seasonal changes of different soil P fractions in a tropical forest with highly acidic soils in south China. As expected, acid addition significantly increased occluded P pool but reduced the other more labile P pools in the dry season. In the wet season, however, acid addition did not change microbial P, soluble P and labile organic P pools. Acid addition significantly increased exchangeable Al 3+ and Fe 3+ and the activation of Fe oxides in both seasons. Different from the decline of microbial abundance in the dry season, acid addition increased ectomycorrhizal fungi and its ratio to arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi in the wet season, which significantly stimulated phosphomonoesterase activities and likely promoted the dissolution of occluded P. Our results suggest that, even in already highly acidic soils, the acidification‐induced P limitation could be alleviated by stimulating ectomycorrhizal fungi and phosphomonoesterase activities. The differential responses and microbial controls of seasonal soil P transformation revealed here should be implemented into ecosystem biogeochemical model for predicting plant productivity under future acid deposition scenarios.

Kai-Xin-San Inhibits Tau Pathology and Neuronal Apoptosis in Aged SAMP8 Mice - Ya-Nan Jiao; Jing-Sheng Zhang; Wen-Jun Qiao; Shu-Yu Tian; Yi-Bin Wang; Chun-Yan Wang; Yan-Hui Zhang; Qi Zhang; Wen Li; Dong-Yu Min; Zhan-You Wang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurological disorder. Currently, there is no effective cure for AD due to its complexity in pathogenesis. In light of the complex pathogenesis of AD, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Kai-Xin-San (KXS), which was used for amnesia treatment, has been proved to improve cognitive function in AD animal models. However, the active ingredients and the mechanism of KXS have not yet been clearly elucidated. In this study, network pharmacology analysis predicts that KXS yields 168 candidate compounds acting on 863 potential targets, 30 of which are associated with AD. Enrichment analysis revealed that the therapeutic mechanisms of KXS for AD are associated with the inhibition of Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, inflammation, and apoptosis. Therefore, we chose 7-month-old senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice as AD mouse model, which harbors the behavioral and pathological hallmarks of AD. Subsequently, the potential underlying action mechanisms of KXS on AD predicted by the network pharmacology analyses were experimentally validated in SAMP8 mice after intragastric administration of KXS for 3 months. We observed that KXS upregulated AKT phosphorylation, suppressed GSK3β and CDK5 activation, and inhibited the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to attenuate Tau hyperphosphorylation and neuroinflammation, thus suppressing neuronal apoptosis and improving the cognitive impairment of aged SAMP8 mice. Taken together, our findings reveal a multi-component and multi-target therapeutic mechanism of KXS for attenuating the progression of AD, contributing to the future development of TCM modernization, including KXS, and broader clinical application.

Association between congenital heart defects and maternal manganese and iron concentrations: a case–control study in China - Meixian Wang; Yan Tian; Ping Yu; Nana Li; Ying Deng; Lu Li; Hong Kang; Dapeng Chen; Hui Wang; Zhen Liu; Juan Liang (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
To investigate the correlation between maternal manganese and iron concentrations and the risk of CHD among their infant. A multi-center hospital-based case control study was conducted in China. There were 322 cases and 333 controls have been selected from pregnant women who received prenatal examinations. Correlations between CHDs and maternal manganese and iron concentrations were estimated by conditional logistic regression. Moreover, the interaction between manganese and iron on CHDs was analyzed. Compared with the controls, mothers whose hair manganese concentration was 3.01 μg/g or more were more likely to have a child with CHD than those with a lower concentration. The adjusted OR was 2.68 (95%CI = 1.44–4.99). The results suggested that mothers whose iron content was 52.95 μg/g or more had a significantly higher risk of having a child with CHD ( aOR = 2.87, 95%CI = 1.54–5.37). No interaction between maternal manganese and iron concentrations was observed in the multiplicative or additive model. The concurrently existing high concentration of manganese and iron may bring higher risk of CHD ( OR = 7.02). Women with excessive manganese concentrations have a significantly increased risk of having offspring with CHDs. The high maternal iron status also correlates with CHDs. The concurrently existing high concentration of manganese and iron may bring higher risk of CHD.

The Predictability of Ocean Environments that Contributed to the 2020/21 Extreme Cold Events in China: 2020/21 La Niña and 2020 Arctic Sea Ice Loss - Fei Zheng; Ji-Ping Liu; Xiang-Hui Fang; Mi-Rong Song; Chao-Yuan Yang; Yuan Yuan; Ke-Xin Li; Ji Wang; Jiang Zhu (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
Several consecutive extreme cold events impacted China during the first half of winter 2020/21, breaking the low-temperature records in many cities. How to make accurate climate predictions of extreme cold events is still an urgent issue. The synergistic effect of the warm Arctic and cold tropical Pacific has been demonstrated to intensify the intrusions of cold air from polar regions into middle-high latitudes, further influencing the cold conditions in China. However, climate models failed to predict these two ocean environments at expected lead times. Most seasonal climate forecasts only predicted the 2020/21 La Niña after the signal had already become apparent and significantly underestimated the observed Arctic sea ice loss in autumn 2020 with a 1–2 month advancement. In this work, the corresponding physical factors that may help improve the accuracy of seasonal climate predictions are further explored. For the 2020/21 La Niña prediction, through sensitivity experiments involving different atmospheric–oceanic initial conditions, the predominant southeasterly wind anomalies over the equatorial Pacific in spring of 2020 are diagnosed to play an irreplaceable role in triggering this cold event. A reasonable inclusion of atmospheric surface winds into the initialization will help the model predict La Niña development from the early spring of 2020. For predicting the Arctic sea ice loss in autumn 2020, an anomalously cyclonic circulation from the central Arctic Ocean predicted by the model, which swept abnormally hot air over Siberia into the Arctic Ocean, is recognized as an important contributor to successfully predicting the minimum Arctic sea ice extent.

Global divergent trends of algal blooms detected by satellite during 1982–2018 - Chong Fang; Kaishan Song; Hans W Paerl; Pierre‐Andre Jacinthe; Zhidan Wen; Ge Liu; Hui Tao; Xiaofeng Xu; Tiit Kutser; Zongming Wang; Hongtao Duan; Kun Shi; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Algal blooms (ABs) in inland lakes have caused adverse ecological effects, and health impairment of animals and humans. We used archived Landsat images to examine ABs in lakes (>1 km 2 ) around the globe over a 37‐year time span (1982–2018). Out of the 176032 lakes with area >1 km 2 detected globally, 863 were impacted by ABs, 708 had sufficiently long records to define a trend, and 66% exhibited increasing trends in frequency ratio (FRQR, ratio of the number of ABs events observed in a year in a given lake to the number of available Landsat images for that lake) or area ratio (AR, ratio of annual maximum area covered by ABs observed in a lake to the surface area of that lake), while 34% showed a decreasing trend. Across North America, an intensification of ABs severity was observed for FRQR ( p p p p

Ero1‐Pdi1 module‐catalysed dimerization of a nucleotide sugar transporter, FonNst2 , regulates virulence of Fusarium oxysporum on watermelon - Yizhou Gao; Xiaohui Xiong; Hui Wang; Jiajing Wang; Yan Bi; Yuqing Yan; Zhongye Cao; Dayong Li; Fengming Song (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum ( Fon ) is a soil‐borne fungus causing vascular Fusarium wilt on watermelon; however, the molecular network regulating Fon virulence remains to be elucidated. Here, we report the function and mechanism of nucleotide sugar transporters (Nsts) in Fon . Fon genome harbours nine FonNst genes with distinct functions in vegetative growth, asexual production, cell wall stress response and virulence. FonNst2 and FonNst3 are required for full virulence of Fon on watermelon and FonNst2 is mainly involved in fungal colonization of the plant tissues. FonNst2 and FonNst3 form homo‐ or hetero‐dimers but function independently in Fon virulence. FonNst2, which has UDP‐galactose transporter activity in yeast, interacts with FonEro1 and FonPdi1, both of which are required for full virulence of Fon . FonNst2, FonPdi1 and FonEro1 target to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are essential for ER homeostasis and function. FonEro1‐FonPdi1 module catalyses the dimerization of FonNst2, which is critical for Fon virulence. Undimerized FonNst2 is unstable and degraded via ER‐associated protein degradation in vivo . These data demonstrate that FonEro1‐FonPdi1 module‐catalysed dimerization of FonNst2 is critical for Fon virulence on watermelon and provide new insights into the regulation of virulence in plant fungal pathogens via disulfide bond formation of key pathogenicity factors.

Integration Bioprocess of B-Phycoerythrin and Exopolysaccharides Production From Photosynthetic Microalga Porphyridium cruentum - Hao-Chan Yin; Ji-Kang Sui; Tian-Li Han; Tian-Zhong Liu; Hui Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Red microalga Porphyridium cruentum has great potential for converting CO 2 into high-value bioactive compounds, such as B-phycoerythrin (B-PE) and extracellular polysaccharides or exopolysaccharides (EPS). This study aimed to establish the integration bioprocess of B-PE and EPS production from P. cruentum . First, different kinds of growth medium and CO 2 concentration were assessed indoor in terms of high biomass and B-PE and EPS contents. As follows, P. cruentum cells were outdoor scale-up cultured in 700 L pressurized tubular reactors for 9 days till the biomass reached 0.85 g/L and then separated from supernatants via centrifugation. Three different methods were adopted to extract phycobiliproteins, and the highest PE contents were extracted from cells by repeated freeze-thawing treatment along with the optimization of significant variables, and finally, 7.99 mg/L B-PE (16,500 Da) with a purity index of 0.82 was obtained. Moreover, analysis of physicochemical properties of EPS extracted from P. cruentum showed that the sulfate content was 14.85% and the uronic acid content was 9.36%.

Multiple-Stage Mineralization in the Huayangchuan U−REE−Mo−Cu−Fe Ore Belt of the Qinling Orogen, Central China: Geological and Re−Os Geochronological Constraints - Hongjun Jiang; Chunsi Yang; Dequan Wang; Hui Zheng; Jie Li; Huayong Chen (Journal of Earth Science, 2022)
The Huayangchuan ore belt is located in the western segment of Xiaoqinling Orogen in the southern margin of the North China Craton (NCC), and hosts voluminous magmatism and significant U−REE−Mo−Cu−Fe polymetallic mineralization. However, geochronological framework of the various mineralization phases in this region is poorly understood. Here, we present new Re−Os isochron ages on magnetite from the Caotan Fe deposit (2 675 ± 410 Ma, MSWD = 0.55), and on pyrite from the Jialu REE deposit (2 127 ± 280 Ma, MSWD = 1.9) and Yuejiawa Cu deposit (418 ± 23 Ma, MSWD = 11.5), and Re−Os weighted average model age on pyrite from the Taoyuan Mo−U deposit (235 ± 14 Ma, MSWD = 0.17). These ages, combined with regional geology and mineralization ages from other deposits, suggest that mineralization in the Huayangchuan ore belt lasted from the Neoarchean to the Late Mesozoic. The mineralization corresponds to regional tectono-magmatic events, including the Neoar-chean alkali magmatism (REE mineralization), Paleoproterozoic plagioclase-amphibolite emplacement (Fe mineralization), Paleoproterozoic pegmatite magmatism (U mineralization), Paleozoic Shangdan oceanic slab subduction-related arc magmatism (Cu mineralization), Early Mesozoic Paleo-Tethys Ocean subduction-related arc magmatism (Mo−U mineralization), and Late Mesozoic Paleo-Pacific oceanic plate subduction direction change-related Mo(-Pb) mineralization. We proposed that the Huayang-chuan ore belt has undergone prolonged metallogenic evolution, and the magmatism and associated mineralization were controlled by regional geodynamic events.

Infectivity and antigenicity of pseudoviruses with high-frequency mutations of SARS-CoV-2 identified in Portugal - Hai-xin Wang; Li Zhang; Zi-teng Liang; Jian-hui Nie; Jia-jing Wu; Qian-qian Li; Ru-xia Ding; Yue Zhang; Guo-qing Chen; You-chun Wang; Hui-guo Wang; Wei-jin Huang (Archives of Virology, 2022)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has had a major impact on global human health. During the spread of SARS-CoV-2, weakened host immunity and the use of vaccines with low efficacy may result in the development of more-virulent strains or strains with resistance to existing vaccines and antibodies. The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 mutant strains differs between regions, and this variation may have an impact on the effectiveness of vaccines. In this study, an epidemiological investigation of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal was performed, and the VSV-ΔG-G* pseudovirus system was used to construct 12 spike protein epidemic mutants, D614G, A222V+D614G, B.1.1.7, S477N+D614G, P1162R+D614G+A222V, D839Y+D614G, L176F+D614G, B.1.1.7+L216F, B.1.1.7+M740V, B.1.258, B.1.258+L1063F, and B.1.258+N751Y. The mutant pseudoviruses were used to infect four susceptible cell lines (Huh7, hACE2-293T-293T, Vero, and LLC-MK2) and 14 cell lines overexpressing ACE2 from different species. Mutant strains did not show increased infectivity or cross-species transmission. Neutralization activity against these pseudoviruses was evaluated using mouse serum and 11 monoclonal antibodies. The neutralizing activity of immunized mouse serum was not significantly reduced with the mutant strains, but the mutant strains from Portugal could evade nine of the 11 monoclonal antibodies tested. Neutralization resistance was mainly caused by the mutations S477N, N439K, and N501Y in the spike-receptor binding domain. These findings emphasize the importance of SARS-CoV-2 mutation tracking in different regions for epidemic prevention and control.

Surface wind and vertical extent features of the explosive cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere based on the ERA‐I reanalysis data - Li‐Zhi Jiang; Shen‐Ming Fu; Jian‐Hua Sun; Rui Fu; Wan‐Li Li; Si‐Xiong Zhao; Hui Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Although explosive cyclones (ECs) have long been a focus of research, there remains a lack of knowledge of the statistical characteristics of their associated maximum surface winds and vertical extents. This study fills this gap by conducting a targeted statistical analysis of ECs in the Northern Hemisphere using the ERA‐I reanalysis data during a 40‐year period. Some new findings are obtained: (a) The average location of formation of ECs undergoes a notable westward and equatorward shift from September to April in the next year which is consistent with the location variations of sea surface temperature's strong gradients in subtropical regions. (b) Extreme ECs with a deepening rate more than 2.0 Bergeron or with a longer lifespan more than 10 days tend to have a larger occurrence number over the Northern Atlantic Ocean than over the Northern Pacific. (c) The maximum surface wind associated with an EC tends to appear between the EC reaching its maximum deepening rate and reaching its minimum central pressure. (d) The northeastern quadrant of ECs accounts for the highest proportion of maximum surface wind and strongest wind speed, as the baroclinic energy conversion is generally strongest in this quadrant. (e) Over 60% of ECs belong to a type of vertically deep cyclone (ECs' top levels show close relationship to ascending motions within their central regions), and they tend to reach their maximum vertical extent around the time when they reach their minimum central pressures. (f) The highest top levels of ECs exhibit an overall upward extending trend as their minimum central pressure decreases or their maximum deepening rate increases.

New Insight Into the Mechanism of Ecological Effects of Artificial Habitats: Elucidating the Relationship Between Protists Associated With Artificial Reefs and Adjacent Seawater - Ruolin Li; Yu Guo; Chuanxin Qin; Shuo Zhang; Dongping Ji; Hui Zhang; Jing Wang; Naiqian Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Artificial habitat deployment can restore natural habitats or supplement existing natural habitats. The effect of resource proliferation and protection is obvious. However, few reports have addressed the biological community association between artificial habitats and adjacent environments. Here, Illumina sequencing of 18S rDNA was performed, and the diversity, community structure, and co-occurrence networks of protists in different layers of artificial reefs (ARs) and adjacent seawater (WAR) were described to verify that constructing ARs in Bailong Pearl Bay improves local spatial heterogeneity and functional diversity. In terms of the degree of species interaction, the protist communities were ranked as follows: surface and bottom of WAR > ARs and WAR > different layers of ARs. The α-diversity of protists associated with ARs and WAR decreased with an increase in depth. Protist diversity was greater in WAR than in ARs. β-Diversity analysis revealed significant differences in protist community structure between WAR and ARs ( P < 0.05), and the upper layers of ARs and the middle or bottom layers of ARs differed. The key topological features of protist networks showed more positive interspecific interactions in the AR-associated protist community, a higher degree of niche differentiation, and higher complexity and stability. The keystone protists in the bottom seawater layer displayed community functions that were biased toward initial fixation in the ocean carbon cycle. The AR-associated protist community tended to participate in carbon transfer in the food chain and decomposition and utilization of dissolved organic matter (DOM). This study revealed significant differences in protist community structure between ARs and the adjacent environment, and the ecological functions of the key phyla were found to be related. In conclusion, protist communities in WAR may provide food sources for AR-associated heterotrophic protists. A variety of key phyla associated with ARs have biological roles in the carbon pump via their ecological characteristics.

SYL3-k increases style length and yield of F1 seeds via enhancement of endogenous GA4 content in Oryza sativa L. pistils - Xiaojing Dang; Yuanqing Zhang; Yulong Li; Siqi Chen; Erbao Liu; Bingjie Fang; Qiangming Liu; Dong She; Zhiyao Dong; Zhilan Fan; Dalu Li; Hui Wang; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message SYL3-k allele increases the outcrossing rate of male sterile line and the yield of hybrid F 1 seeds via enhancement of endogenous GA 4 content in Oryza sativa L. pistils. The change in style length might be an adaptation of rice cultivation from south to north in the northern hemisphere. Abstract The style length (SYL) in rice is one of the major factors influencing the stigma exertion, which affects the outcross rate of male sterile line and the yield of hybrid F 1 seeds. However, the biological mechanisms underlying SYL elongation remain elusive. Here, we report a map-based cloning and characterisation of the allele qSYL3-k . The qSYL3-k allele encodes a MADS-box family transcription factor, and it is expressed in various rice organs. The qSYL3-k allele increases SYL via the elongation of cell length in the style, which is associated with a higher GA 4 content in the pistil. The expression level of OsGA3ox2 in pistils with qSYL3-k alleles is significantly higher than that in pistils with qSYL3-n allele on the same genome background of Nipponbare. The yield of F 1 seeds harvested from plants with 7001S SYL3−k alleles was 16% higher than that from plants with 7001S SYL3−n allele. The sequence data at the qSYL3 locus in 136 accessions showed that alleles containing the haplotypes qSYL3 AA , qSYL3 AG , and qSYL3 GA increased SYL, whereas those containing the haplotype qSYL3 GG decreased it. The frequency of the haplotype qSYL3 GG increases gradually from the south to north in the northern hemisphere. These findings will facilitate improvement in SYL and yield of F 1 seeds henceforward.

Essential Role of Sptan1 in Cochlear Hair Cell Morphology and Function Via Focal Adhesion Signaling - Qingxiu Yao; Hui Wang; Hengchao Chen; Zhuangzhuang Li; Yumeng Jiang; Zhipeng Li; Jiping Wang; Yazhi Xing; Feng Liu; Dongzhen Yu; Shankai Yin (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Hearing loss is the most common human sensory deficit. Hearing relies on stereocilia, inserted into the cuticular plate of hair cells (HCs), where they play an important role in the perception of sound and its transmission. Although numerous genes have been associated with hearing loss, the function of many hair cell genes has yet to be elucidated. Herein, we focused on nonerythroid spectrin αII (SPTAN1), abundant in the cuticular plate, surrounding the rootlets of stereocilia and along the plasma membrane. Interestingly, mice with HC-specific Sptan1 knockout exhibited rapid deafness, abnormal formation of stereocilia and cuticular plates, and loss of HCs from middle and apical turns of the cochlea during early postnatal stages. Additionally, Sptan1 deficiency led to the decreased spreading of House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 cells, and induced abnormal formation of focal adhesions and integrin signaling in mouse HCs. Altogether, our findings highlight SPTAN1 as a critical molecule for HC stereocilia morphology and auditory function via regulation of focal adhesion signaling.
