Aim Similar environmental selection pressures drive the occurrence of convergent evolution among species. However, studies on this phenomenon are scarce at the population level. Here, we used two waist‐shaped bugs to test the hypothesis that similar high‐elevation habitat environments could lead to similar genetic adaptations among populations of different species. Location East Asia. Taxa Malcus sinicus Štys, 1967 & Malcus insularis Štys, 1967. Methods Population genetic structure was determined by phylogenetic and phylogeographical analyses. Demographic history was inferred by comparing simulated history models. Suitable habitat from the last interglacial period (LIG) to the present was predicted by ecological niche modelling (ENM). Convergent evolutionary processes were jointly assessed by the comparison of population ecological differences and the principal component analysis of environmentally related single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Results Our results showed that the land bridge in the Pleistocene helped ancestral populations of M. sinicus and M. insularis diffuse from mainland China to Taiwan Island. Subsequently, the geographical barrier imposed by the Taiwan Strait promoted the species differentiation. Geographic isolation and adaptive evolution jointly promoted the population differentiation in M. sinicus . Genetic similarity was found between the populations of M. sinicus in southwestern China (sin‐YN) and M. insularis on Taiwan Island (ins‐TW). Temperature‐related environmental factors and elevation were found to similarly and significantly clustered with ins‐TW and sin‐YN and were clearly distinguished from the other low−/mid‐elevation populations of M. sinicus (sin‐EA). Furthermore, the SNPs related to these environmental factors presented the same clustering results. Main Conclusions Our study revealed a novel disjunct distribution pattern between southwestern China and Taiwan Island at the population level and provided evidence of convergent evolution of local populations in high‐elevation environments. Here, we revealed that similar environmental selection pressures can drive the occurrence of convergent evolution at the population level among different species.

New perspectives on the genetic structure of dotted gizzard shad (Konosirus punctatus) based on RAD-seq - Ying Peng; Yifan Liu; Jiasheng Li; Kun Zhang; Xun Jin; Sixu Zheng; Yunpeng Wang; Zhenming Lü; Liqin Liu; Li Gong; Bingjian Liu (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2024)
To maintain, develop and rationally utilize marine organisms, understanding their genetic structure and habitat adaptation pattern is necessary. Konosirus punctatus , which is a commercial fish species inhabiting the Indo-west Pacific Ocean, has shown an obvious annual global capture and aquaculture production decline due to climate changes and human activities. In the present study, restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) was used to describe its genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms panel (SNPs). Among 146 individuals collected at nine locations scattered in China, Korea and Japan, a set of 632,090 SNPs were identified. Population genetic analysis showed that K. punctatus individuals were divided into two significant genetic clusters. Meanwhile, potential genetic differentiation between northern and southern population of K. punctatus was found. Treemix results indicated that gene flow existed among sampling locations of K. punctatus , especially from southern Japan to others. Moreover, candidate genes associated with habitat adaptations of K. punctatus were identified, which are involved in diverse physiological processes of K. punctatus including growth and development (e.g., KIDINS220 , PAN3 ), substance metabolism (e.g., PGM5 ) and immune response (e.g., VAV3 , CCT7 , HSPA12B ). Our findings may aid in understanding the possible mechanisms for the population genetic structure and local adaptation of K. punctatus , which is beneficial to establish the management and conservation units of K. punctatus , guiding the rational use of resources, with reference significance for a profound understanding of the adaptative mechanisms of other marine organisms to the environment.

Molecular Determinants of Neurocognitive Deficits in Glioma: Based on 2021 WHO Classification - Kun Zhang; Tianrui Yang; Yu Xia; Xiaopeng Guo; Wenlin Chen; Lijun Wang; Junlin Li; Jiaming Wu; Zhiyuan Xiao; Xin Zhang; Wenwen Jiang; Dongrui Xu; et al. (Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2024)
Cognitive impairment is a common feature among patients with diffuse glioma. The objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between preoperative cognitive function and clinical as well as molecular factors, firstly based on the new 2021 World Health Organization’s updated classification of central nervous system tumors. A total of 110 diffuse glioma patients enrolled underwent preoperative cognitive assessments using the Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Clinical information was collected from medical records, and gene sequencing was performed to analyze the 18 most influenced genes. The differences in cognitive function between patients with and without glioblastoma were compared under both the 2016 and 2021 WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system to assess their effect of differentiation on cognition. The study found that age, tumor location, and glioblastoma had significant differences in cognitive function. Several genetic alterations were significantly correlated with cognition. Especially, IDH , CIC , and ATRX are positively correlated with several cognitive domains, while most other genes are negatively correlated. For most focused genes, patients with a low number of genetic alterations tended to have better cognitive function. Our study suggested that, in addition to clinical characteristics such as age, histological type, and tumor location, molecular characteristics play a crucial role in cognitive function. Further research into the mechanisms by which tumors affect brain function is expected to enhance the quality of life for glioma patients. This study highlights the importance of considering both clinical and molecular factors in the management of glioma patients to improve cognitive outcomes.

The safety assessment of ship cargo securing systems is of significant importance in preventing casualties, vessel instability, and economic losses resulting from the failure of securing systems during transportation in adverse sea conditions. In this study, an independently designed cylindrical cargo securing scheme with supporting structures was adopted for investigation. Utilizing a sway device, three-degree-of-freedom coupled motion encountered during ship transportation was obtained, and data regarding changes in the support forces at the foundations and tension forces in the lashing ropes were collected. Subsequently, numerical simulations were conducted using the multibody dynamics software ADAMS 2020. The results obtained from the simulations were compared with the experimental data. The overall tendencies were accurately predicted in the numerical analysis. It was observed that the difference of the peak support forces between the numerical simulation results and the experimental data were within a 10% margin. In terms of the lashing ropes, the difference was limited, within 9%. These findings demonstrate that numerical simulation techniques can provide valuable insights for verifying the safety of practical cargo securing systems.

Exosomes Derived from Human Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells Inhibits Fibrosis and Treats Oral Submucous Fibrosis via the miR-181a-5p/Smad2 Axis - Zifei Shao; Jinhao Xu; Xiaoyang Xu; Xiang Wang; Yuxi Zhou; Yiyang Li; Kun Li (Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, 2024)
BACKGROUND: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic disease with carcinogenic tendency that poses a non-negligible threat to human health. Exosomes derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC-Exo) reduces visceral and cutaneous fibroses, but their role in OSF has received little attention. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ADSC-Exo on OSF and elucidate the mechanism. METHODS: In brief, ADSCs were extracted from adipose tissues and subjected to flow cytometry and induction culture. Fibroblasts were isolated from human buccal mucosa and subjected to immunofluorescence. Myofibroblasts were obtained from fibroblasts induced by arecoline and identified. Immunofluorescence assay confirmed that myofibroblasts could take up ADSC-Exo. The effects of ADSC-Exo on the proliferative and migratory capacities of myofibroblasts were examined using the Cell Counting Kit-8 and scratch assay. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was performed to evaluate mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2 (Smad2), Smad3, Smad7, collagen type 1 (Col1), Col3, alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), fibronectin, and vimentin. Western blotting was performed to detect phospho (p)-Smad2, Smad2, p-Smad2/3, Smad2/3, Smad7, Col1, Col3, α-SMA, fibronectin, and vimentin. Furthermore, the dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to prove that miR-181a-5p in ADSC-Exo directly inhibited the expression of Smad2 mRNA to regulate the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) pathway. We also performed qPCR and western blotting to verify the results. RESULTS: ADSC-Exo could promote the proliferation and migration of myofibroblasts, reduce the expressions of p-smad2, Smad2, p-smad2/3, Smad2/3, Col1, αSMA, fibronectin, and vimentin and elevated the levels of Smad7 and Col3. In addition, miR-181a-5p was highly expressed in ADSC-Exo and bound to the 3'-untranslated region of Smad2. ADSC-Exo enriched with miR-181a-5p reduced collagen production in myofibroblasts and modulated the TGF-β pathway. CONCLUSIONS: ADSC-Exo promoted the proliferative and migratory capacities of myofibroblasts and inhibited collagen deposition and trans-differentiation of myofibroblasts in vitro . miR-181a-5p in exosomes targets Smad2 to regulate the TGF-β pathway in myofibroblasts. ADSC-Exo perform antifibrotic actions through the miR-181a-5p/Smad2 axis and may be a promising clinical treatment for OSF.

To investigate the embryonic development of the mud crab Scylla paramamosain , we analyzed three critical parameters: egg color of, embryo morphology (through conventional and laser scanning confocal microscopy), and the distribution of cell divisions. During embryonic development, the egg color exhibited a progressive transition, shifting from orange to reddish-orange, then to brown, before ultimately darkening to black. Each embryo displayed a spherical shape, measuring approximately 280 μm in diameter, characterized by a smooth surface devoid of any depressions. The embryonic cell division was in the form of mixed oogenesis, comprised of complete division in the early stage, spiral oogenesis in the middle stage and surface division in the late stage. It is noteworthy that the blastopore appeared at the position where the transparent area and cell aggregation just appeared under the microscope, and the blastomere was a characteristic of the embryo entering the gastrulation stage. After entering the gastrulation stage, the cells aggregated towards the blastopore and formed two symmetrical cell clusters, which formed a V-shape with the void of the classic blastopore. When the transparent region occupied approximately 1/5 of the embryo ’ s volume, the embryo entered the nauplius stage, and the thoracic and abdominal armor, as well as the optic lobe and abdominal limb primordia, could be clearly distinguished. The appearance of the compound eye pigment band indicated the stage of compound eye pigment formation. At this time, the transparent area accounted for 1/4 of the embryo and a large number of ganglia appeared. The change of the compound eye pigment band from red to black was also one of the reasons for the blackening of the egg color of the crabs. The data obtained through this study have potential applications in the determination of embryonic development status and obtaining of high-quality seeds for S. paramamosain culture.

Classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules play an essential role in immune system. In this study, MHC II α (Pf‐MHC II α ) and MHC II β (Pf‐MHC II β ) homology genes from pufferfish ( Takifugu obscurus ) were cloned and their functional characterization in response to bacterial challenge was identified. The nucleotide sequences of the open reading frames (ORFs) of pufferfish Pf‐MHC IIα and Pf‐MHC IIβ were 708 bp and 750 bp, encoding 235 aa and 249 aa, respectively. The structure of Pf‐MHC II α or Pf‐MHC II β contained a signal peptide, an α 1/ β 1 domain, an α 2/ β 2 domain, a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic region. Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis showed that Pf‐MHC II α and Pf‐MHC II β molecules had the highest similarity with Fugu rubripes ( Takifugu rubripes ). Cellular localization analysis indicated that the distribution of Pf‐MHC II α and Pf‐MHC II β was in the lymphocyte membrane and cytoplasm. qRT‐PCR results showed that Pf‐MHC IIα and Pf‐MHC IIβ expressed relatively high in skin, gills and gut. In addition, after stimulation challenge in vitro (lipopolysaccharide, or polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid) and in vivo ( A. hydrophila ), the mRNA expressions of Pf‐MHC IIα and Pf‐MHC IIβ were significantly up‐regulated in lymphocytes and in tissues of skin, gills, gut and head kidney. Moreover, Pf‐MHC II α or Pf‐MHC II β neutralization reduced the ability of A. hydrophila to induce the expressions of lymphocyte cytokines ( TNF‐α , IL‐1β and IL‐10 ). Overall, it is speculated that Pf‐MHC II α and Pf‐MHC II β may play an important role in the host response against A. hydrophila in pufferfish.

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a complex disease that affects billions of people worldwide. Currently, effective etiological treatment of COVID-19 is still lacking; COVID-19 also causes damages to various organs that affects therapeutics and mortality of the patients. Surveillance of the treatment responses and organ injury assessment of COVID-19 patients are of high clinical value. In this study, we investigated the characteristic fragmentation patterns and explored the potential in tissue injury assessment of plasma cell-free DNA in COVID-19 patients. Through recruitment of 37 COVID-19 patients, 32 controls and analysis of 208 blood samples upon diagnosis and during treatment, we report gross abnormalities in cfDNA of COVID-19 patients, including elevated GC content, altered molecule size and end motif patterns. More importantly, such cfDNA fragmentation characteristics reflect patient-specific physiological changes during treatment. Further analysis on cfDNA tissue-of-origin tracing reveals frequent tissue injuries in COVID-19 patients, which is supported by clinical diagnoses. Hence, our work demonstrates and extends the translational merit of cfDNA fragmentation pattern as valuable analyte for effective treatment monitoring, as well as tissue injury assessment in COVID-19.

Environmental heterogeneity affecting spatial distribution of phytoplankton community structure and functional groups in a large eutrophic lake, Lake Chaohu, China - Huijuan Cao; Kun Zhang; Daogui Deng; Huiying Qi; Jun Li; Yaqin Cao; Qide Jin; Yajie Zhao; Yeping Wang; Zhou Wu; Xinyue Li; Ying Li (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023)
The growth and development of phytoplankton are influenced by physico-chemical parameters, which can also affect the spatial distribution of phytoplankton community structure. However, it is unclear whether environmental heterogeneity caused by multiple physico-chemical factors can affect the spatial distribution of phytoplankton and its functional groups. In this study, we investigated the seasonal variation and spatial distribution of phytoplankton community structure and its relationships with environmental factors in Lake Chaohu from August 2020 to July 2021. We recorded a total of 190 species from 8 phyla, which were divided into 30 functional groups, including 13 dominating functional groups. The average annual phytoplankton density and biomass were (5.46 ± 7.17) × 10 7 cells/L and 4.80 ± 4.61 mg/L, respectively. The density and biomass of phytoplankton were higher in summer ((14.64 ± 20.34) × 10 7 cells/L, 10.61 ± 13.16 mg/L) and autumn ((6.79 ± 3.97) × 10 7 cells/L, 5.57 ± 2.40 mg/L), with the M and H2 of dominant functional groups. The dominant functional groups were N, C, D, J, MP, H2, and M in spring, whereas functional groups C, N, T, and Y dominated in winter. The distribution of phytoplankton community structure and dominant functional groups exhibited significant spatial heterogeneity in the lake, which was consistent with the environmental heterogeneity of the lake and could be classified into four locations. Location I had higher phytoplankton density and biomass than the other three locations. Additionally, dominant functional groups M, C, and H2 were present throughout the lake, and all 13 dominant functional groups were observed in Location II. Our findings suggest that environmental heterogeneity is a key factor influencing the spatial distribution of phytoplankton functional groups in Lake Chaohu.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is one of the most common inherited mental retardation diseases and is caused by the loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) expression. The metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) theory of FXS states that enhanced mGluR-dependent long-term depression (LTD) due to FMRP loss is involved in aberrant synaptic plasticity and autistic-like behaviors, but little is known about the underlying molecular mechanism. Here, we found that only hippocampal mGluR-LTD was exaggerated in adolescent Fmr1 KO mice, while N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-LTD was intact in mice of all ages. This development-dependent alteration was related to the differential expression of caveolin-1 (Cav1), which is essential for caveolae formation. Knockdown of Cav1 restored the enhanced mGluR-LTD in Fmr1 KO mice. Moreover, hippocampal Cav1 expression in Fmr1 KO mice induced excessive endocytosis of the α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) receptor subunit GluA2. This process relied on mGluR1/5 activation rather than NMDAR. Interference with Cav1 expression reversed these changes. Furthermore, massive cholesterol accumulation contributed to redundant caveolae formation, which provided the platform for mGluR-triggered Cav1 coupling to GluA2. Importantly, injection of the cholesterol scavenger methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Mβ-CD) recovered AMPA receptor trafficking and markedly alleviated hyperactivity, hippocampus-dependent fear memory, and spatial memory defects in Fmr1 KO mice. Together, our findings elucidate the important role of Cav1 in mediating mGluR-LTD enhancement and further inducing AMPA receptor endocytosis and suggest that cholesterol depletion by Mβ-CD during caveolae formation may be a novel and safe strategy to treat FXS.

Ndufa4 Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Neurons via miR-145a-5p/Homer1/Ccnd2 - Fang Fu; Chen Chen; Kun Du; Lu-shan Li; Ru Li; Ting-ying Lei; Qiong Deng; Dan Wang; Qiu-xia Yu; Xin Yang; Jin Han; Min Pan; et al. (Molecular Neurobiology, 2023)
The Dandy–Walker malformation (DWM) is characterized by neuron dysregulation in embryonic development; however, the regulatory mechanisms associated with it are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of NADH dehydrogenase 1 alpha subcomplex 4 (NDUFA4) in regulating downstream signaling cascades and neuronal proliferation and apoptosis. Ndufa4 overexpression promoted the proliferation of neurons and inhibited their apoptosis in vitro, which underwent reverse regulation by the Ndufa4 short hairpin RNAs. Ndufa4 -knockout (KO) mice showed abnormal histological alterations in the brain tissue, in addition to impaired spatial learning capacity and exploratory activity. Ndufa4 depletion altered the microRNA expressional profiles of the cerebellum: Ndufa4 inhibited miR-145a-5p expression both in the cerebellum and neurons. miR-145a-5p inhibited the proliferation of neurons and promoted their apoptosis. Ndufa4 promoted and miR-145a-5p inhibited the expression of human homer protein homolog 1 and cyclin D2 in neurons. Thus, Ndufa4 promotes the proliferation of neurons and inhibits their apoptosis by inhibiting miR-145a-5p, which directly targets and inhibits the untranslated regions of Homer1 and Ccnd2 expression.

High-resolution mapping of SrTm4, a recessive resistance gene to wheat stem rust - Hongna Li; Jing Luo; Wenjun Zhang; Lei Hua; Kun Li; Jian Wang; Binyang Xu; Chen Yang; Guiping Wang; Matthew N. Rouse; Jorge Dubcovsky; Shisheng Chen (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2023)
Key message The diploid wheat recessive stem rust resistance gene SrTm4 was fine-mapped to a 754-kb region on chromosome arm 2A m L and potential candidate genes were identified. Abstract Race Ug99 of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici ( Pgt ), the causal agent of wheat stem (or black) rust is one of the most serious threats to global wheat production. The identification, mapping, and deployment of effective stem rust resistance ( Sr ) genes are critical to reduce this threat. In this study, we generated SrTm4 monogenic lines and found that this gene confers resistance to North American and Chinese Pgt races. Using a large mapping population (9522 gametes), we mapped SrTm4 within a 0.06 cM interval flanked by marker loci CS4211 and 130K1519 , which corresponds to a 1.0-Mb region in the Chinese Spring reference genome v2.1. A physical map of the SrTm4 region was constructed with 11 overlapping BACs from the resistant Triticum monococcum PI 306540. Comparison of the 754-kb physical map with the genomic sequence of Chinese Spring and a discontinuous BAC sequence of DV92 revealed a 593-kb chromosomal inversion in PI 306540. Within the candidate region, we identified an L-type lectin-domain containing receptor kinase ( LLK1 ), which was disrupted by the proximal inversion breakpoint, as a potential candidate gene. Two diagnostic dominant markers were developed to detect the inversion breakpoints. In a survey of T. monococcum accessions, we identified 10 domesticated T. monococcum subsp. monococcum genotypes, mainly from the Balkans, carrying the inversion and showing similar mesothetic resistant infection types against Pgt races. The high-density map and tightly linked molecular markers developed in this study are useful tools to accelerate the deployment of SrTm4 -mediated resistance in wheat breeding programs.
