Relative importance of ENSO and IOD on interannual variability of Indonesian Throughflow transport - Aojie Li; Yongchui Zhang; Mei Hong; Jian Shi; Jing Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Introduction The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) connects the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It plays an important role in the global ocean circulation system. The interannual variability of ITF transport is largely modulated by climate modes, such as Central-Pacific (CP) and Eastern-Pacific (EP) El Niño and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). However, the relative importance of these climate modes importing on the ITF is not well clarified. Methods Dominant roles of the climate modes on ITF in specific periods are quantified by combining a machine learning algorithm of the random forest (RF) model with a variety of reanalysis datasets. Results The results reveal that during the period from 1993 to 2019, the average ITF transport derived from high-resolution reanalysis datasets is -14.97 Sv with an intensification trend of -0.06 Sv year -1 , which mainly occurred in the upper layer. Four periods, which are 1993–2000, 2002–2008, 2009–2012 and 2013–2019, are identified as Niño 3.4, Dipole Mode Index (DMI), no significant dominant index, and DMI dominated, respectively. Discussion The corresponding sea surface height differences between the Northwest Tropical Pacific Ocean (NWP) and Southeast Indian Ocean (SEI) in these three periods when exist dominant index are -0.50 cm, 0.99 cm and -3.22 cm, respectively, which are responsible for the dominance of the climate modes. The study provides a new insight to quantify the response of ITF transport to climate drivers.

MicroRNA‑124: an emerging therapeutic target in central nervous system disorders - Wen-Hao Zhang; Lian Jiang; Mei Li; Jing Liu (Experimental Brain Research, 2023)
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of neuron and non-neuron cells including neural stem/precursor cells (NSPCs), neuroblasts, glia cells (mainly astrocyte, oligodendroglia and microglia), which thereby form a precise and complicated network and exert diverse functions through interactions of numerous bioactive ingredients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), with small size approximately ~ 21nt and as well-documented post-transcriptional key regulators of gene expression, are a cluster of evolutionarily conserved endogenous non-coding RNAs. More than 2000 different miRNAs has been discovered till now. MicroRNA-124(miR-124), the most brain-rich microRNA, has been validated to possess important functions in the central nervous system, including neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation, cell fate determination, neuron migration, synapse plasticity and cognition, cell apoptosis etc. According to recent studies, herein, we provide a review of this conversant miR-124 to further understand the potential functions and therapeutic and clinical value in brain diseases.

Discovery of a natural small-molecule AMP-activated kinase activator that alleviates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis - Jin Chen; Li Xu; Xue-Qing Zhang; Xue Liu; Zi-Xuan Zhang; Qiu-Mei Zhu; Jian-Yu Liu; Muhammad Omer Iqbal; Ning Ding; Chang-Lun Shao; Mei-Yan Wei; Yu-Chao Gu (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2023)
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a primary cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unfortunately, there is no approved drug treatment for NASH. AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is an important metabolic sensor and whole-body regulator. It has been proposed that AMPK activators could be used for treating metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and NASH. In this study, we screened a marine natural compound library by monitoring AMPK activity and found a potent AMPK activator, candidusin A ( CHNQD-0803 ). Further studies showed that CHNQD-0803 directly binds recombinant AMPK with a K D value of 4.728 × 10 –8 M and activates AMPK at both molecular and intracellular levels. We then investigated the roles and mechanisms of CHNQD-0803 in PA-induced fat deposition, LPS-stimulated inflammation, TGF-β-induced fibrosis cell models and the MCD-induced mouse model of NASH. The results showed that CHNQD-0803 inhibited the expression of adipogenesis genes and reduced fat deposition, negatively regulated the NF-κB-TNFα inflammatory axis to suppress inflammation, and ameliorated liver injury and fibrosis. These data indicate that CHNQD-0803 as an AMPK activator is a novel potential therapeutic candidate for NASH treatment.

Improving topside ionospheric empirical model using FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 data - Xiaodong Ren; Yan Li; Dengkui Mei; Wei Zhu; Xiaohong Zhang (Journal of Geodesy, 2023)
The precise description of the topside ionosphere using an ionospheric empirical model has always been a work in progress. The NeQuick topside model is greatly enhanced by adopting radio occultation data from the FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 constellation. The topside scale height H formulation in the NeQuick model is simplified into a linear combination of an empirically deduced parameter H 0 and a gradient parameter g . The two-dimensional grid maps for the H 0 and g parameters are generated as a function of the foF 2 and hmF 2 parameters. Corrected H 0 and g values can be interpolated easily from two grid maps, allowing a more accurate description of the topside ionosphere than the original NeQuick model. The improved NeQuick model (namely NeQuick_GRID model) is statistically validated by comparing it to Total Electron Content (TEC) integrated from COSMIC-2 electron density profiles and space-borne TEC derived from onboard Global Navigation Satellite System observations, respectively. The results show that the NeQuick_GRID model can reduce relative errors by 38% approximately when compared to the integrated TEC from COSMIC profiles and by 15% approximately when compared to the space-borne TEC. Furthermore, a long-term statistical analysis during years of both high and low solar activities reveals that grid maps of the scale factor H 0 and the gradient parameter g have very similar features, allowing rapid and efficient acquisition of high-precision electron density during different solar activity.

Orbital‐ to millennial‐scale variation of the speleothem δ 18 O record during Marine Isotope Stages 5 to 3 on the southeast Chinese Loess Plateau and its climatic and environmental implications - YANJUN CAI; HAI CHENG; XING CHENG; ZHENGGUO SHI; YANBIN LU; LE MA; CARLOS PÉREZ‐MEJÍAS; HAIWEI ZHANG; YINGYING WEI; GANG XUE; HANYING LI; MEI HE; et al. (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2023)
The Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is located in northern China, a region climatically dominated by the East Asian monsoon. Speleothem records from this region are crucial to fully understand the variability of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and reconcile the disparity seen between loess records and speleothem δ 18 O records for the EASM. Here, we present an absolutely dated stalagmite isotope record spanning most of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5 to MIS 3 from Xiaotian Cave, southeast CLP. The Xiaotian speleothem δ 18 O record is dominated by precessional variations and punctuated by notable millennial‐scale oscillations; in particular, the δ 18 O values in MIS 5e, 5c and 5a were in the same range, consistent with other speleothem δ 18 O records from the EASM region within quoted errors, verifying the difference between speleothem δ 18 O and loess records (e.g. magnetic susceptibility) and the proposition that those two archives may record different aspects of the EASM changes. The similar values in MIS 5e, 5c and 5a observed from the speleothem δ 18 O records in EASM regions, incompatible with the relatively higher North Hemisphere Summer Insolation (NHSI) during MIS 5e, were probably caused by an equivalent or even increased contribution of 18 O‐enriched moisture from the South China Sea and North Pacific, implying that an El Niño‐like state existed during MIS 5e. The Xiaotian δ 18 O values increased abruptly at ~121.7 thousand years (kyr) before the present ( bp , present refers to ad 1950), consistent with the trend seen in previously reported Chinese speleothem δ 18 O records, indicating an abrupt regime shift in atmospheric circulations or hydroclimate conditions in the Asian monsoon systems. It cannot be definitely ruled out that an increase in sea ice extent in the northern North Atlantic, responding to a decrease of NHSI, reached a threshold to have led to abrupt changes in the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) through rapid shifts in the position of circulation of the westerlies and/or in the position of Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Here, we hypothesized that sea surface cooling in the tropical Indian and Pacific Ocean caused by the decreased summer insolation reached a threshold that eventually resulted in an abrupt shift to more positive precipitation δ 18 O, either through weakened convection over the tropical ocean, or through abrupt shifts in moisture transport and cycling of tropical moisture sources for the ASM. The Xiaotian speleothem δ 18 O record also shows centennial‐scale variability with amplitude up to 3‰ within MIS 5e. These changes are similar to variations recorded by the speleothem δ 18 O record from Tianmen Cave on the south‐central Tibetan Plateau and Shangxiaofeng Cave in Shandong Province, northern China, suggesting a heightened sensitivity of precipitation δ 18 O to climate changes at the marginal zone of the ASM even during the warm and humid MIS 5e interglacial. Climatic oscillations during MIS 5e appear to be comparable to those typical of the Holocene, implying rather unstable climate conditions during the Last Interglacial.

Genome-wide identification, structural and evolutionary characteristics, and expression analysis of aquaporin gene family members in Mercenaria mercenaria - Cong Zhou; Zhi-shu Lin; Ying Shi; Jie Feng; Zhi Hu; Mei-jie Yang; Pu Shi; Yong-ren Li; Yong-jun Guo; Tao Zhang; Hao Song (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Aquaporins (AQPs) are highly-selective transmembrane water transporters that are involved in the adaptation to environmental challenges. However, the structure, function, and evolution of AQPs in bivalves remain largely unknown. In this study, AQP gene family members were identified in nine bivalve species, and their abundance rangs from 7 to 15. Nine AQPs (MmAQPs) were identified in the genome of hard clam ( Mercenaria mercenaria ), which is a euryhaline bivalve that has evolved sophisticated osmoregulatory mechanisms and salinity adaptation. Structurally, all MmAQPs contain 6 or 12 transmembrane α-helices, a major intrinsic protein (MIP) domain, and 2 asparagine-proline-alanine (NPA) motifs. MmAQPs were classified into three subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis: AQP1-like, AQP3-like, and AQP8-like. No AQP11-like subfamily member was identified in the genome of hard clam. Tandem duplication resulted in a lineage-specific expansion in AQP8-like subfamily in hard clams. MmAQP8 genes showed different expression sensitivity to different environmental stressors. The gene expression patterns of three MmAQP8 were similar under heat, hypoxia, and air exposure stress, but differed greatly under salinity stress, indicating that tandem duplication events may accelerate the functional divergence of AQP8 genes in hard clams. AQP3-like members may have undergone gene loss during evolution, resulting in weakened glycerol and urea penetration in hard clams. Three orthologs of MmAQPs were detected in the genomes of Cyclina sinensis and Archivesica marissinica through synteny analyses. Tissue expression profiles showed that MmAQP genes were highly expressed in the foot and hepatopancreas. Under environmental stress, the expression levels of most of the MmAQP genes changed significantly to maintain metabolic homeostasis. Several MmAQP genes were downregulated to reduce water permeability under salinity and air exposure stress. Several MmAQP genes were significantly upregulated to promote the transmembrane transport of ammonia and reactive oxygen species and activate anti-apoptotic responses to resist stress. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the AQP gene family in hard clams, and lays a foundation for further studies to explore the functions of AQPs in bivalves.

P2X7Rs: new therapeutic targets for osteoporosis - Haoyun Huang; Yu-Mei He; Miao-Miao Lin; Yanchao Wang; Xiaomei Zhang; Li Liang; Xueling He (Purinergic Signalling, 2023)
Increasing evidence suggests that both the occurrence and progression of osteoporosis are associated with inflammation, especially in primary osteoporosis. The maintenance of skeletal homeostasis is dependent on the complex regulation of bone metabolism. Numerous evidence suggested that purinoceptor networks are essential for bone homeostasis. In this review, the relationship between inflammation and the development of osteoporosis and the role of P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) in regulating the dynamic regulation of bone reconstruction were covered. We also discussed how P2X7R regulates the balance between resorption and bone formation by osteoblasts and reviewed the relevance of P2X7R polymorphisms in skeletal physiology. Finally, we analyzed potential targets of P2X7R for osteoporosis.

High cholesterol intake remodels cholesterol turnover and energy homeostasis in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) - Rui-Xin Li; Ling-Yun Chen; Samwel M. Limbu; Yu-Cheng Qian; Wen-Hao Zhou; Li-Qiao Chen; Yuan Luo; Fang Qiao; Mei-Ling Zhang; Zhen-Yu Du (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2023)
The roles of dietary cholesterol in fish physiology are currently contradictory. The issue reflects the limited studies on the metabolic consequences of cholesterol intake in fish. The present study investigated the metabolic responses to high cholesterol intake in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), which were fed with four cholesterol-contained diets (0.8, 1.6, 2.4 and 3.2%) and a control diet for eight weeks. All fish-fed cholesterol diets showed increased body weight, but accumulated cholesterol (the peak level was in the 1.6% cholesterol group). Then, we selected 1.6% cholesterol and control diets for further analysis. The high cholesterol diet impaired liver function and reduced mitochondria number in fish. Furthermore, high cholesterol intake triggered protective adaptation via (1) inhibiting endogenous cholesterol synthesis, (2) elevating the expression of genes related to cholesterol esterification and efflux, and (3) promoting chenodeoxycholic acid synthesis and efflux. Accordingly, high cholesterol intake reshaped the fish gut microbiome by increasing the abundance of Lactobacillus spp. and Mycobacterium spp., both of which are involved in cholesterol and/or bile acids catabolism. Moreover, high cholesterol intake inhibited lipid catabolic activities through mitochondrial β-oxidation, and lysosome-mediated lipophagy, and depressed insulin signaling sensitivity. Protein catabolism was elevated as a compulsory response to maintain energy homeostasis. Therefore, although high cholesterol intake promoted growth, it led to metabolic disorders in fish. For the first time, this study provides evidence for the systemic metabolic response to high cholesterol intake in fish. This knowledge contributes to an understanding of the metabolic syndromes caused by high cholesterol intake or deposition in fish.

Analysis of Whole Blood and Urine Trace Elements in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Autistic Behaviors - Gang Zhao; Si-jin Liu; Xin-yu Gan; Jun-ru Li; Xiao-xue Wu; Si-yan Liu; Yi-si Jin; Ke-rang Zhang; Hong-mei Wu (Biological Trace Element Research, 2023)
The relationship between trace elements and neurological development is an emerging research focus. We performed a case–control study to explore (1) the differences of 13 trace elements chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd), stannum (Sn), stibium (Sb), mercury (Hg), titanium (TI), and plumbum (Pb) concentration in whole blood and urine between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children and their typical development peers, and (2) the association between the 13 trace elements and core behaviors of ASD. Thirty ASD subjects (cases) and 30 age-sex-matched healthy subjects from Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, were recruited. Element analysis was carried out by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. Autistic behaviors were assessed using Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), and Children Neuropsychological and Behavior Scale (CNBS). The whole blood concentrations of Mo ( p = 0.004), Cd (0.007), Sn ( p = 0.003), and Pb ( p = 0.037) were significantly higher in the ASD cases than in the controls. Moreover, Se (0.393), Hg (0.408), and Mn (− 0.373) concentrations were significantly correlated between whole blood and urine levels in ASD case subjects. There were significant correlations between whole blood Sb (0.406), Tl (0.365), Mo (− 0.4237), Mn (− 0.389), Zn (0.476), and Se (0.375) levels and core behaviors of ASD. Although the mechanism of trace element imbalance in ASD is unclear, these data demonstrate that core behaviors of ASD may be affected by certain trace elements. Further studies are recommended for exploring the mechanism of element imbalance and providing corresponding clinical treatment measures.

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.

Scaling-up and proteomic analysis reveals photosynthetic and metabolic insights toward prolonged H2 photoproduction in Chlamydomonas hpm91 mutant lacking proton gradient regulation 5 (PGR5) - Peng Liu; De-Min Ye; Mei Chen; Jin Zhang; Xia-He Huang; Li-Li Shen; Ke-Ke Xia; Xiao-Jing Xu; Yong-Chao Xu; Ya-Long Guo; Ying-Chun Wang; Fang Huang (Photosynthesis Research, 2022)
Clean and sustainable H 2 production is crucial to a carbon–neutral world. H 2 generation by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an attractive approach for solar-H 2 from H 2 O. However, it is currently not large-scalable because of lacking desirable strains with both optimal H 2 productivity and sufficient knowledge of underlying molecular mechanism. We hereby carried out extensive and in-depth investigations of H 2 photoproduction of hpm91 mutant lacking PGR5 (Proton Gradient Regulation 5) toward its up-scaling and fundamental mechanism issues. We show that hpm91 is at least 100-fold scalable (up to 10 L) with continuous H 2 collection of 7287 ml H 2 /10L-HPBR in averagely 26 days under sulfur deprivation. Also, we show that hpm91 is robust and active during sustained H 2 photoproduction, most likely due to decreased intracellular ROS relative to wild type. Moreover, we obtained quantitative proteomic profiles of wild type and hpm91 at four representing time points of H 2 evolution, leading to 2229 and 1350 differentially expressed proteins, respectively. Compared to wild type, major proteome alterations of hpm91 include not only core subunits of photosystems and those related to anti-oxidative responses but also essential proteins in photosynthetic antenna, C/N metabolic balance, and sulfur assimilation toward both cysteine biosynthesis and sulfation of metabolites during sulfur-deprived H 2 production. These results reveal not only new insights of cellular and molecular basis of enhanced H 2 production in hpm91 but also provide additional candidate gene targets and modules for further genetic modifications and/or in artificial photosynthesis mimics toward basic and applied research aiming at advancing solar-H 2 technology.

The cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway regulates hyphal growth, conidiation, trap morphogenesis, stress tolerance, and autophagy in Arthrobotrys oligospora - Mei‐Chen Zhu; Na Zhao; Yan‐Kun Liu; Xue‐Mei Li; Zheng‐Yi Zhen; Ya‐Qing Zheng; Ke‐Qin Zhang; Jin‐Kui Yang (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
The cyclic adenosine monophosphate‐protein kinase A (cAMP‐PKA) signalling pathway is evolutionarily conserved in eukaryotes and plays a crucial role in defending against external environmental challenges, which can modulate the cellular response to external stimuli. Arthrobotrys oligospora is a typical nematode‐trapping fungus that specializes in adhesive networks to kill nematodes. To elucidate the biological roles of the cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway, we characterized the orthologous adenylate cyclase AoAcy, a regulatory subunit (AoPkaR), and two catalytic subunits (AoPkaC1 and AoPkaC2) of PKA in A. oligospora by gene disruption, transcriptome, and metabolome analyses. Deletion of Aoacy significantly reduced the levels of cAMP and arthrobotrisins. Results revealed that Aoacy , AopkaR , and AopkaC1 were involved in hyphal growth, trap morphogenesis, sporulation, stress resistance, and autophagy. In addition, Aoacy and AopkaC1 were involved in the regulation of mitochondrial morphology, thereby affecting energy metabolism, whereas AopkaC2 affected sporulation, nuclei, and autophagy. Multi‐omics results showed that the cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway regulated multiple metabolic and cellular processes. Collectively, these data highlight the indispensable role of cAMP‐PKA signalling pathway in the growth, development, and pathogenicity of A. oligospora, and provide insights into the regulatory mechanisms of signalling pathways in sporulation, trap formation, and lifestyle transition.

Resource availability drives bacteria community resistance to pathogen invasion via altering bacterial pairwise interactions - Mei Li; Thomas Pommier; Yue Yin; Wenhui Cao; Xiaohui Zhang; Jie Hu; Yann Hautier; Tianjie Yang; Yangchun Xu; Qirong Shen; George A. Kowalchuk; Alexandre Jousset; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Microbial interactions within resident communities are a major determinant of resistance to pathogen invasion. Yet, interactions vary with environmental conditions, raising the question of how community composition and environments interactively shape invasion resistance. Here, we use resource availability (RA) as a model parameter altering the resistance of model bacterial communities to invasion by the plant pathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum . We found that at high RA, interactions between resident bacterial species were mainly driven by the direct antagonism, in terms of the means of invader inhibition. Consequently, the competitive resident communities with a higher production of antibacterial were invaded to a lesser degree than facilitative communities. At low RA, bacteria produced little direct antagonist potential, but facilitative communities reached a relatively higher community productivity, which showed higher resistance to pathogen invasion than competitive communities with lower productivities. This framework may lay the basis to understand complex microbial interactions and biological invasion as modulated by the dynamic changes of environmental resource availability.

Divergent responses of autumn vegetation phenology to climate extremes over northern middle and high latitudes - Mei Wang; Peng Li; Changhui Peng; Jingfeng Xiao; Xiaolu Zhou; Yunpeng Luo; Cicheng Zhang (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022)
Aim Compared with gradual climate change, extreme climatic events have more direct and dramatic impacts on vegetation growth. However, the influence of climate extremes on important phenological periods, such as the end of the growing season (EOS), remains unclear. Here, we investigate the temporal trends of EOS across different biomes and quantify the response of EOS to multiple climate extreme indices (CEIs). Location Northern middle and high latitudes. Time period 2000–2020. Major taxa studied Plants. Methods Three phenology extraction methods were used to compute EOS from satellite, FLUXNET and Pan European Phenology Project PEP725 phenological datasets. Different stress states of cold, hot, dry and wet extremes were represented by 12 CEIs. Partial correlation and ridge regression analysis were used to quantify the response of EOS to climate extremes across latitudinal and biome scales. Results Our study showed a delayed EOS in boreal biomes, but a significantly advanced EOS in temperate biomes. The advanced EOS induced by cold stress was observed for c . 80% of the vegetated pixels. The warm‐related CEIs delayed the EOS in high latitudes, and the delayed effect weakened or even reversed with decreasing latitude. In contrast, EOS exhibited opposite response patterns to dry days and wet‐related CEIs. Overall, EOS exhibited higher sensitivity to extreme temperature in boreal biomes than in temperate biomes. Specifically, continuous drought and high heat stress induced an earlier EOS in some temperate forest biomes, whereas moderate heat stress delayed the EOS in most study biomes. In contrast, EOS was not sensitive to extreme drought in water‐restricted biomes. Main conclusions EOS exhibited divergent responses to various climate extremes with different intensities and frequencies. Moreover, the response of EOS to extreme climate stress was dependent on the biome and latitude. These findings emphasize the importance of incorporating the divergent extreme climate effects into vegetation phenological models and Earth system models.

Modal Identification of Structures by Eliminating the Effect of the High Ocean Wind - Chun-Xu Qu; Chang-Chong Liu; Xiao-Mei Yang; Hui-Juan Liu; Hong-Nan Li; Yu-Feng Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with severe excitation such as high wind. This severe excitation may change the performance of structures, such as bridges, wharves and wind turbine structures. It is very necessary to monitor this important change. Modal parameters are the ones to reflect the structural instinct behavior. However, many identification methods assume that the excitation is white noise, which is not the truth during high ocean wind excitation. Therefore, the modal identification method to deal with severe ocean wind excitation should be investigated. This paper proposes an innovative method to eliminate the effect of high ocean wind on modal identification. The formulation to generate an impulse response is described, where the effect of high wind is pointed. Then the elimination method is derived using the wind velocity spectrum and correlation function. After the wind field is simulated, the wind velocities and spectra at all accelerometer positions are obtained. The real impulse response form is obtained. Then, modal identification using the real impulse response is performed. Finally, a practical cable-stayed bridge is employed and modal identification is performed. The results show that the identified modes can reflect structural real behavior.

Citrinin Derivatives From Penicillium Citrinum Y34 That Inhibit α-Glucosidase and ATP-Citrate Lyase - Shanji Chen; Danmei Tian; Jihua Wei; Cong Li; Yihan Ma; Xiaoshuang Gou; Yiran Shen; Mei Chen; Sihao Zhang; Jia Li; Bin Wu; Jinshan Tang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Two new citrinin dimers bearing a 6,6-spiroketal moiety (1 and 2) and four known analogues (3–6), together with 18 known citrinin monomers (7–24), were isolated from the culture of hydrothermal vent-associated fungus Penicillium citrinum Y34. Their structures were identified by extensive spectroscopic analyses, 13 C NMR calculation in combination with DP4+, linear correlation coefficient ( R 2 ), and mean absolute error (MAE) values analyses, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. The α -glucosidase and ATP-citrate lyase (ACL) inhibitory activities of isolated compounds were evaluated. Compounds 1, 3, and 12 displayed moderate α -glucosidase inhibitory activities with IC 50 values of 239.8, 176.2, and 424.4 μM, respectively. Enzyme kinetics investigations of 1 and 3 suggested their non-competitive inhibition of α -glucosidase with K i values of 204.3 and 212.7 μM, respectively. Meanwhile, compound 4 showed significant ACL inhibitory potential with an IC 50 value of 17.4 μM. Furthermore, the interactions of 1, 3, and 12 with α -glucosidase and 4 with ACL were investigated by molecular docking assay. This study demonstrates that citrinins, especially for their dimers, could be potential lead compounds for the development of new agents for the treatment of metabolic diseases.

Massive Heat Shock Protein 70 Genes Expansion and Transcriptional Signatures Uncover Hard Clam Adaptations to Heat and Hypoxia - Zhi Hu; Hao Song; Jie Feng; Cong Zhou; Mei-Jie Yang; Pu Shi; Zheng-Lin Yu; Yong-Ren Li; Yong-Jun Guo; Hai-Zhou Li; Tao Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) members participate in a wide range of housekeeping and stress-related activities in eukaryotic cells. In marine ecosystems, bivalves encounter abiotic stresses, including high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen. Here, 133 MmHSP70 genes were identified through combined methods including Blastp, HMM and manual filtration, based on the whole Mercenaria mercenaria genome. The MmHSP70 genes were unevenly distributed, and 41 genes (33.08%) were located on Chr 7. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the MmHSP70 gene family mainly consisted of two clusters and the Hspa12 subfamily underwent lineage-specific expansion. A high-density collinear gene block was observed between M. mercenaria Chr 7 and Cyclina sinensis Chr 14. Tandem duplication MmHSP70 gene pairs experienced different levels of purifying selection, which could be an important source of sequence and functional constraints. MmHSP70 genes showed tissue-specific and stress-specific expression. Most tandem duplication HSP70 gene pairs had high expression under hypoxia stress. HSP70 B2 tandem duplication gene pairs showed significantly increased expression under heat plus severe hypoxia stress. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the MmHSP70 gene family in the M. mercenaria and laid a significant foundation for further studies on the functional characteristics of MmHSP70 genes during exposure to heat and hypoxia stress.

Biogeography of culturable marine bacteria from both poles reveals that ‘everything is not everywhere’ at the genomic level - Qi‐Long Qin; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Qian‐Qian Cha; Sha‐Sha Liu; Xue‐Bing Ren; Hui‐Hui Fu; Mei‐Ling Sun; Dian‐Li Zhao; Andrew McMinn; Yin Chen; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yu‐Zhong Zhang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Based on 16S rRNA gene analyses, the same bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) are common to both the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, supporting the concept ‘everything is everywhere’. However, whether the same OTUs from both poles have identical genomes, i.e. whether ‘everything is still everywhere’ at the genomic level has not yet been examined systematically. Here, we isolated, sequenced and compared the genomes of 45 culturable marine bacteria belonging to three genera of Salinibacterium , Psychrobacter and Pseudoalteromonas from both polar oceans. The bacterial strains with identical 16S rRNA genes were common to both poles in every genus, and four identical genomes were detected in the genus Salinibacterium from the Arctic region. However, no identical genomes were observed from opposite poles in this study. Our data, therefore, suggest that ‘everything is not everywhere’ at the genomic level. The divergence time between bacteria is hypothesized to exert a strong impact on the bacterial biogeography at the genomic level. The geographical isolation between poles was observed for recently diverged, highly similar genomes, but not for moderately similar genomes. This study thus improves our understanding of the factors affecting the genomic‐level biogeography of marine microorganisms isolated from distant locations.

Summary The clinical and environmental infections caused by AmpC β‐lactamases have been increasingly reported recently. In this study, we characterize the novel chromosome‐encoded AmpC β‐lactamase SFDC‐1 identified in Serratia fonticola strain R28, which was isolated from a rabbit raised on a farm in southern China. SFDC‐1 shared the highest amino acid identity of 79.6% with the functionally characterized AmpC β‐lactamase gene bla YRC‐1 , although it had highly homologous functionally uncharacterized relatives in the same species from different sources, including some of the clinical significance. The cloned bla SFDC‐1 exhibited resistance to a broad spectrum of β‐lactam antibiotics, including most cephalosporins with the highest resistance to ampicillin, cefazolin and ceftazidime, with increased MIC levels ≥128‐fold compared with the control strains. The purified SFDC‐1 showed catalytic activities against β‐lactams with the highest catalytic activity to cefazolin. The genetic context of bla SFDC‐1 and its relatives was conserved in the chromosome, and no mobile genetic elements were found surrounding them.
