Activation of the STING pathway induces peripheral sensitization via neuroinflammation in a rat model of bone cancer pain - Yuxin Zhang; Wei Wang; Zhihao Gong; Yuan Peng; Xin Li; Zuojing Zhang; Xiaoxuan Zhang; Xingji You; Jingxiang Wu (Inflammation Research, 2023)
Background Neuroinflammation in the peripheral nervous system has been linked to cancer metastasis-induced bone pain. The stimulator of interferon genes (STING), an innate immune sensor for cytosolic DNA, plays an important role in inflammation and cancer metastasis and is reported to be a critical regulator of nociception. Here, we examined the role of STING in primary nociceptive neurons and chronic pain to determine if it could be a new target for treating bone cancer pain (BCP). Methods Walker 256 cancer cells were injected intratibially to induce bone cancer pain in rats. STING and its downstream inflammatory factors in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were detected using western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. Transmission electron microscopy and the BCL2-associated X (Bax) expression were used to detect the mitochondrial stress in DRG neurons. C-176, a specific inhibitor of STING, was used to block STING activation and to test the pain behavior. Results Mechanical hyperalgesia and spontaneous pain were observed in BCP rats, accompanied by the upregulation of the STING expression in the ipsilateral L4-5 DRG neurons which showed significant mitochondrion stress. The STING/TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway activation was observed in the DRGs of BCP rats as well as increased IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α expression. C-176 alleviated bone cancer pain and reduced the STING and its downstream inflammatory pathway. Conclusion We provide evidence that STING pathway activation leads to neuroinflammation and peripheral sensitization. Pharmacological blockade of STING may be a promising novel strategy for preventing BCP.

Effects of Dietary Eucommia ulmoides Leaf Extract on Growth, Muscle Composition, Hepatopancreas Histology, Immune Responses and Microcystin-LR Resistance of Juvenile Red Claw Crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) - Yao-Peng Lu; Pei-Hua Zheng; Jia-Rui Xu; Yan-Lei Cao; Jun-Tao Li; Chen-Guang Hao; Ze-Long Zhang; Jian-An Xian; Xiu-Xia Zhang; An-Li Wang (Fishes, 2022)
The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of different doses of dietary Eucommia ulmoides leaf extract (ELE) on juvenile red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus). A total number of 720 red claw crayfish (initial body weight of 0.24 ± 0.01 g) were randomly assigned to six groups and fed diets containing 0 (Diet 1), 0.5 (Diet 2), 1 (Diet 3), 2 (Diet 4), 4 (Diet 5) and 10 (Diet 6) g dry weight (dw) ELE kg (dw)−1 diets for eight weeks and challenged with microcystin-LR stress. The results indicated that dietary supplementation with 1–2 g dw ELE kg (dw)−1 diet could significantly improve the weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) of crayfish. Muscle crude protein contents of crayfish fed Diet 2, Diet 3, and Diet 4 were significantly higher than those of the control group. Compared with the control group, dietary ELE could increase total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and phenoloxidase (PO) activities and decrease malondialdehyde (MDA) level of crayfish. Dietary ELE significantly increased the relative expression levels of SOD, thioredoxin 1 (TRX1), GPx, selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (Se-GPx), cytochrome P450 (CYP450), anti-lipopolysaccharide factor (ALF) and C-type lysozyme (C-LZM) mRNA of crayfish compared with the control group during the feeding experiment. When subjected to MC-LR stress for 48 h, the mRNA expression levels of SOD, GPx, Se-GPx, glutathione-s-transferase 1 (GST1), ALF, hemocyanin (HEM), and C-LZM in the hepatopancreas could be improved to varying degrees compared with the Diet 1. Supplementation of 1–2 g dw ELE kg (dw)−1 diet could improve the survival rate (SR) of crayfish under MC-LR stress. These results indicated that dietary ELE (1–2 g dw ELE kg (dw)−1 diet) could improve the growth performance, muscle protein, and non-specific immune response and increase the SR of crayfish under MC-LR stress by regulating the mRNA expression levels of the immune- and antioxidant-related genes.

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.

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.

Population structure and genetic diversity in wild dotted gizzard shad (Konosirus punctatus) revealed by microsatellite markers - Bingjian Liu; Jiasheng Li; Kun Zhang; Ying Peng; Yifan Liu; Xun Jin; Sixu Zheng; Yunpeng Wang; Liqin Liu; Zhenming Lü; Shufei Zhang; Li Gong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Uncovering the fine-scale genetic structure has been long recognized as a key component in policymaking for the management of marine fisheries. Many species of Clupeiformes have suffered declines owing to overexploitation and habitat destruction. In this study, twenty polymorphic microsatellite markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of Konosirus punctatus , a pelagic fish of economic and ecological importance in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. Although most of the variance occurred within individuals, significant differentiation ( F ST = 0.00384~0.19346) was shown in wild K. punctatus populations. Population structure analyses revealed five genetically divergent clades in K. punctatus in the Northwestern Pacific. Significant isolation by distance and one potentially outlier locus were revealed in K. punctatus , suggesting that interactions between historical climate shifts and environmental factors may contribute to the present-day genetic architecture. In summary, these results provided new perspectives on the population genetic structure of K. punctatus , facilitating the development of effective management strategies for this species.

Ferroptosis induced by the biocontrol agent Pythium oligandrum enhances soybean resistance to Phytophthora sojae - Yang Cheng; Huanxin Zhang; Wenyi Zhu; Qing Li; Rui Meng; Kun Yang; Ziqian Guo; Ying Zhai; Haijing Zhang; Rui Ji; Hao Peng; Daolong Dou; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of cell death accompanied by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. Both biotic and abiotic stresses can induce ferroptosis in plant cells. In the case of plant interactions with pathogenic Phytophthora oomycetes, the roles of ferroptosis are still largely unknown. Here, we performed transcriptome analysis on soybean plants treated with the biocontrol agent Pythium oligandrum , a soilborne and non‐pathogenic oomycete capable of inducing plant resistance against Phytophthora sojae infection. Expression of homologous soybean genes involved in ferroptosis and resistance was reprogrammed upon P. oligandrum treatment. Typical hallmarks for characterizing ferroptosis were detected in soybean hypocotyl cells, including decreased glutathione (GSH) level, accumulation of ferric ions, and lipid peroxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Meanwhile, ferroptosis‐like cell death was triggered by P. oligandrum to suppress P. sojae infection in soybean. Protection provided by P. oligandrum could be attenuated by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin‐1 (Fer‐1), suggesting the critical role of ferroptosis in soybean resistance against P. sojae . Taken together, these results demonstrate that ferroptosis is a P. oligandrum ‐inducible defence mechanism against oomycete infection in soybean.

Copper uptake and subcellular distribution in five marine phytoplankton species - Peng Zhang; Yang Liu; Li Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Copper (Cu) uptake and trophic transfer in marine plankton at the environmentally relevant levels have rarely been investigated. In this study, we investigated the Cu uptake and subcellular distribution in five phytoplankton ( Isochrysis zhanjiangensis , Phaeocystis sp., Isochrysis galbana, Chaetoceros sp. and Phaeodactylum tricornutum ) belonging to two taxa Chrysophyta and Bacillariophyta, and the following trophic transfer to rotifer Brachionus plicatilis by using stable isotope tracing method. In 2-hour exposure, Cu uptake rates were 20.8–60.3 amol h -1 cell -1 (amol = 10 -18 mol) in the phytoplankton exposure to 4.82 × 10 -13 mol L -1 free Cu activity ([Cu 2+ ]). Cu uptake rates were increased with the increase of [Cu 2+ ] in all the phytoplankton species. Generally, Cu uptake rate constants (k u s) were lower in Bacillariophyta ( Chaetoceros sp. and P. tricornutum ) than Chrysophyta ( I. zhanjiangensis , Phaeocystis sp. and I. galbana ). While in long-term (6 day) exposure, more Cu was accumulated in the Bacillariophyta than in Chrysophyta, suggesting Bacillariophyta might have more Cu capacity than Chrysophyta. Size effects of cells on Cu uptake were not observed among these five phytoplankton. Cu was mainly distributed in the heat-denatured protein plus organelle fraction and head-stable protein fraction in all the five phytoplankton. The Cu assimilation efficiencies (AEs) in rotifer feeding I. zhanjiangensis, Phaeocystis sp. , I. galbana , Chaetoceros sp. and P. tricornutum were 63.4%, 57.6%, 60.2%, 77.4% and 14.6%, respectively. These Cu AEs were positively correlated to the Cu distribution in the trophically available metal fraction (TAM) in different phytoplankton. These results herein demonstrated that different marine phytoplankton had different strategies to accumulate Cu that influence Cu transfer to the predators. Therefore, the variation of the phytoplankton community will change the Cu biogeochemistry in marine environment.

PITPNC1 promotes the thermogenesis of brown adipose tissue under acute cold exposure - Guoqing Tang; Chengxin Ma; Liangkui Li; Shaoyan Zhang; Fengsheng Li; Jin Wu; Yesheng Yin; Qing Zhu; Yan Liang; Ru Wang; He Huang; Tong-Jin Zhao; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2022)
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an essential role in non-shivering thermogenesis. The phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, cytoplasmic 1 (PITPNC1) is identified as a lipid transporter that reciprocally transfers phospholipids between intracellular membrane structures. However, the physiological significance of PITPNC1 and its regulatory mechanism remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PITPNC1 is a key player in thermogenesis of BAT. While Pitpnc1 −/− mice do not differ with wildtype mice in body weight and insulin sensitivity on either chow or high-fat diet, they develop hypothermia when subjected to acute cold exposure at 4°C. The Pitpnc1 −/− brown adipocytes exhibit defective β-oxidation and abnormal thermogenesis-related metabolism pathways in mitochondria. The deficiency of lipid mobilization in Pitpnc1 −/− brown adipocytes might be the result of excessive accumulation of phosphatidylcholine and a reduction of phosphatidic acid. Our findings have uncovered significant roles of PITPNC1 in mitochondrial phospholipid homeostasis and BAT thermogenesis.

Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an essential role in biological processes. However, the expression patterns of lncRNAs that regulate the non-Mendelian inheritance feather phenotypes remain unknown. Objective This study aimed to compare the expression profiles of lncRNAs in the follicles of the late-feathering cocks (LC) and late-feathering hens (LH) that followed genetic rules and the early-feathering hen (EH) and early-feathering cock (EC) that did not conform to the genetic laws. Methods We performed RNA sequencing and investigated the differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) between the early- and late-feathering chickens, which function by cis-acting or participate in the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Results A total of 53 upregulated and 43 downregulated lncRNAs were identified in EC vs. LC, and 58 upregulated and 109 downregulated lncRNAs were identified in EH vs. LH. The target mRNAs regulated by lncRNAs in cis were enriched in the pentose phosphate pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway and Jak-STAT signaling pathway in EC vs. LC and were associated with the TGF-β signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway and Jak-STAT signaling pathway in EH vs. LH. In addition, the lncRNA-mediated ceRNA regulatory pathways of hair follicle formation were mainly enriched in the TGF-β signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, melanogenesis, and calcium signaling pathways. The levels of ENSGALG00000047626 were significantly higher in the late-feathering chickens than in the early-feathering chickens, which regulated the expression of SSTR2 by gga-miR-1649-5p. Conclusion This study provides a novel molecular mechanism of lncRNA’s response to the feather rate that does not conform to the genetic laws in chickens.

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.

Biocrust diazotrophs and bacteria rather than fungi are sensitive to chronic low N deposition - Xiaoying Rong; Xiaobing Zhou; Xiangzhen Li; Minjie Yao; Yongxing Lu; Peng Xu; Benfeng Yin; Yonggang Li; Zachary T. Aanderud; Yuanming Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Anthropogenic long‐term nitrogen (N) deposition may dramatically impact biocrusts due to the overarching N limitation of soil biota in deserts. Even low levels of N may reach a critical loading threshold altering biocrust constituents and function. To identify the impact of chronic and continuous low levels of N deposition on biocrusts, we created a realistic gradient mirroring anthropogenic N addition rate (2:1 NH 4 + : NO 3 − rates: 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 3 g N m −2 yr −1 ) and measured the response of bacteria and fungi within cyanobacterial‐dominated biocrusts over 8 years in a temperate desert, the Gurbantunggut Desert, China. We found that once N deposition reached 1.5 g N m −2 yr −1 biocrust bacterial communities, including diazotrophs, were altered while no such tipping point existed for fungi. Above the threshold, bacterial richness was enhanced, the relative abundance of Chloroflexi, FBP and Gemmatimonadetes was elevated, and diazotrophs shifted from being dominated by Nostocaceae and Scytonemataceae (Cyanobacteria) to free‐living Bradyrhizobiaceae (Alphaproteobacteria). Alternatively, the relative recovery of a few fungal species within the Lecanorales, Pleosporales and Verrucariales became either enriched or diminished due to N deposition. The chronic addition of N resulted in a dense and interconnected bacterial co‐occurrence network that accentuated a functional shift from networks dominated by phototrophic species within the Nostocaceae, Xenococcaceae, Phormidiaceae and Scytonemataceae (Cyanobacteria) to ammonia‐oxidizing species within the Nitrosomonadaceae (Betaproteobacteria) and nitrifying bacteria [i.e. Nitrospiraceae (Nitrospirae)]. Based on structural equation models, the effects of N additions on biocrust constituents were imposed through indirect effects on pH, soil electrical conductivity and ammonium concentrations. In summary, biocrust constituents are generally insensitive to chronic low levels of N depositions until rates reach above 1.5 g N m −2 yr −1 with diazotrophs being the most sensitive biocrust constituents followed by bacteria and finally fungi. Ultimately once the threshold is reached N deposition favours biocrust constituents utilizing inorganic N and other C sources over relying on phototrophic and/or N‐fixing cyanobacteria for C and N.

Identification and Characterization of microRNAs in the Gonads of Litopenaeus vannamei Using High-Throughput Sequencing - Wei Li; Pingping He; Xingzhi Zhang; Junliang Guan; Yongxian Chen; Li Zhang; Bin Zhang; Yusi Zheng; Xin Li; Qingsong He; Longcheng Liu; Chang Yuan; et al. (Fishes, 2022)
Although the expression of miRNAs has been widely applied to investigate on gonads, the role of miRNAs in the gonadal development of white Pacific shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) remains unknown. In this study, we performed high-throughput sequencing to identify the sex-related microRNAs (miRNAs) that elucidated the regulatory mechanisms on the gonadal differentiation of L. vannamei. We obtained a total of 29,671,557 and 28,526,942 raw reads from the ovaries and testes library, respectively. We then mapped 26,365,828 (92.73%) of the ovarian clean sequences and 23,694,294 (85.65%) of the testicular clean sequences for a transcriptome reference sequence of L. vannamei. After blasting the miRNA sequences against the miRBase database, we identified 153 significantly differentially expressed miRNAs between the ovaries and testes. To confirm the high-throughput sequencing results, we used a reverse transcriptase–quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to verify the expression patterns of the seven most differentially expressed miRNAs (i.e., novel_mir23, miR-92b-3p_3, miR-12-5p_2, novel_mir67, miR-279_1, let-7-5p_6, miR-263a-5p_1). According to the results of RT-qPCR, most of the miRNAs were expressed consistently with the high-throughput sequencing results. In addition, the target genes significantly enriched several Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathways that were closely related to gonadal differentiation and development, including extracellular matrix–receptor interaction, Hedgehog signaling pathway, protein digestion and absorption and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). This study revealed the first miRNAs sequencing of L. vannamei gonads. We identified sex-related differentially expressed miRNAs and KEGG pathways, which will be helpful to facilitate future research into the regulatory mechanism on the gonadal differentiation of L. vannamei.

Being an industrially valuable species of bivalve, Mytilus is widespread in the area around the eastern coast of China. Starvation is an environmental stress that mussels often encounter in their growth. However, few report carried out on the physiological and biochemical response and molecular regulation and adaptation mechanism of mussels under starvation. To illustrate the molecular mechanism of hosts of Mytilus to starvation, the gill transcriptome was used for analysis before and after 9 days of starvation in Mytilus using the Illumina/HiSeq-2000 deep sequencing platform, accompanied by the study of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In total, 42.137 GB of clean data were obtained from six sample libraries, the average amount of clean data of each sample is 7.023 GB, and 58,540 unigenes that average 780 bp in length were assembled. Unigenes were illustrated by commenting them against the NR, Swiss-Prot, Pfam, String, GO and KEGG databases. After 9 days of starvation, 2,188 and 2,672 genes were determined to be significantly up- or down-regulated expression genes, separately. Amongst, 4,860 genes were associated with 260 pathways, contains vital enrichment pathways, such as “Metabolic”, “PI3K-Akt signaling pathway”, “Phagosome”, “Apoptosis” and “Lysosome”. In inclusion, autophagy cells were investigated by an electron microscopy, alongside further observations of the expression of autophagy-related genes in gill tissue before and after starvation. The data indicates that the amount of autophagosomes increased and found that atg2 , atg6 and atg13 were significantly up-regulated. These results indicated that Mytilus may use autophagy to cope with their damage after starvation. With our research results, we have contributed to a deeper understanding of the role of the molecular mechanisms of immune defence in Mytilus under environmental stress, which has given insights into mussel breeding and the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of Mytilus immune system.

Spatiotemporal resilience assessment and comparison in China’s bay area - Yu Han; Yaowen Zhang; Han Zhang; Cuicui Feng; Tianran Hua; Yiqun Yang; Peng Yun; Jian Zeng; Li Peng; Jiangning Zeng; Guanqiong Ye (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The bay area is a crucial land–sea junction zone containing essential urban clusters while receiving extremely complex internal and external disturbances that challenge more on its resilience management. However, a sound management tool based on the bay area’s resilience is widely lacking due to the difficulty of unifying resilience indicators and quantifying resilience relationships between regions. This paper tries to establish a comprehensive resilience index for coastal bays from four major resilience-related dimensions, namely, physical structure, social development, ecological environment, and hazards, and applies it into the three major developed bay areas in China. A coupling coordination degree model was used to further reveal the resilience development and its internal coordination by temporal and spatial differences. The results show that the index could clearly reveal the resilience changes from the year 2000 to 2020 of the three bays with the common key drivers of socioeconomic development. It also explains the resilience changes among three bay areas through analyzing synergistic and conflict relationships between the four sub-resilience systems.

Acoustic deterrence to facilitate the conservation of pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata) in the Western Pacific Ocean - Weijie Fu; Zhongchang Song; Teng Wang; Zhanyuan Gao; Jie Li; Peng Zhang; Yu Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Commercial fishing constitutes an important food source but induces undesirable bycatch on animals worldwide. This study extends bycatch research geographically to the Western Pacific Ocean, filling a knowledge gap regarding bycatch and mitigation measures in the region. Bycatch has caused many lethal consequences to the pantropical spotted dolphins ( Stenella attenuata ) during their interaction with fisheries in the research area. We provided a self-developed acoustic deterrent system and conducted field experiments, suggesting its effectiveness as a potential useful conservation tool to reduce bycatch. Dolphins departed the area and the number of dolphins in sight declined to zero after the deployment of the system. Additional evidence was reflected in acoustic recordings, showing the number of clicks emitted by dolphins decreased from 1,502 to 136 per minute after the ADS was activated. Meanwhile, click amplitude was reduced by 84%, indicating an increase in the distance between dolphins and the system. These combined results indicate that the system was effective in driving dolphins away to facilitate the conservation of the species by protecting them from potential bycatch.

Survival virulent characteristics and transcriptomic analyses of Vibrio mimicus exposed to starvation - Ziyan Jiang; Shuwen Gu; Qieqi Qian; Jie Li; Peng Ji; Congcong Wu; Yingjie Zhang; Xiaojian Gao; Qun Jiang; Xiaojun Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Vibrio mimicus is a global causative agent of vibriosis in a variety of aquatic animals and causes major economic losses to aquaculture. It could survive in water for extended periods of time under environmental stress, but its survival strategy remains unknow. This study described the survival, virulent and gene expression changes of V. mimicus cells undergoing starvation stress. After 4 weeks’ cultivation in media without nutrients, V. mimicus Y4 showed reduced rates of activity with marked changes in morphology and physiological activities. The culturable cell counts declined gradually to 10 4 CFU/mL and the shape changed from rod-shaped to coccoid with short rods or spherical. The motility of starved cells decreased after starvation and the biofilm production was significantly lower than wild cells. The starved cells still produced β-hemolysis, lecithinase and caseinase, but its infectivity to Macrobrachium nipponense was weakened. To investigate the mechanism behind morphological and physiological changes, we further analyzed differently expressed genes (DEGs) between starved and wild cells at the whole transcriptional level. The RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that large-scale DEGs were involved in transferase, membrane, dehydrogenase, synthase, flagellar, hemolysin, pilus assembly, and starvation, etc. Among them, the well-known virulence-related genes were downregulated significantly, including vmh , pilA , vipA , capB , tadC , huvX , ompA , etc. These data provide a key resource to understand the regulatory mechanisms of V. mimicus to starvation stress.

Spatiotemporally varied extreme precipitation events simultaneously controlled by multiple circulation factors in China's Loess Plateau - Yuling Ren; Jingpeng Zhang; Jinxia Fu; Shouzhang Peng; Zhi Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
The intensive and frequent extreme precipitation events (EPE) greatly contribute to the severe soil loss in China's Loess Plateau, and it is thus essential to understand how and why EPE varies with space and time. Particularly, the combined influence of multiple factors on EPE has rarely been explored. This study analysed the spatiotemporal variability of EPE for 1961–2017 after defining six indices for intensity, frequency, and duration of EPE (R5d, SDII, R90t, R90n, CDD, CWD). We employed 12 atmospheric circulation factors to determine their combined effects on EPE on different time scales over time by the multiple wavelet coherence. The EPE indices spatially varied with obvious southeast‐northwest gradients. Averaged across the whole plateau, SDII, R90t, and R90n increased insignificantly, while R5d, CDD, and CWD decreased insignificantly. In addition, the change trend had spatial variations with most wet EPE indices increasing in the north and the southernmost areas and decreasing in the middle‐south areas. SDII, R90t, and R90n at 68%, 66%, and 53% of stations tended to increase, respectively, and R5d, CDD, and CWD decreased at 66%, 70%, and 77% of stations, respectively. The temperature had a greater correlation with the duration of EPE in summer and on the intensity and frequency of EPE in winter. El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific North American teleconnection pattern (PNA), ENSO‐Arctic Oscillation (AO), and ENSO‐AO‐PNA were found to be the main factors influencing EPE individually or simultaneously. This study provides technical support for the identification of combined effects of multiple factors, and the results are helpful for regional environmental management. Specific to the Loess Plateau, the identified individual or multiple factors can be used to project future changes in EPE, and the more frequent and intensive EPE in some regions may increase the difficulty in future soil loss control.

Lasiodiplodia theobromae protein LtScp1 contributes to fungal virulence and protects fungal mycelia against hydrolysis by grapevine chitinase - Junbo Peng; Xinghong Li; Yonghua Li; Wei Zhang; Ying Zhou; Jiye Yan (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
The LysM proteins have been reported to be important for the virulence and host immunity suppression in herbaceous plant pathogens, whereas far less information is documented in the woody plant pathogen Lasiodiplodia theobromae . To investigate the functional mechanism of LysM protein in L. theobromae , one gene LtScp1 was cloned and characterized detailedly in the current study. Transcription profiling revealed that LtScp1 was highly expressed at the infectious stages. Compared to wild type, overexpression and silencing of LtScp1 in L. theobromae led to significantly increased and decreased lesion areas, respectively. Moreover, LtScp1 was determined to be a secreted protein via a yeast signal peptide trapping system. Interestingly, LtScp1 was confirmed to be modified by the N ‐glycosylation, which is necessary for the homodimerization of LtScp1 molecules. Furthermore, it was found that LtScp1 interacted with the grapevine chitinase VvChi4 and interfered the ability of VvChi4 to bind chitin. Collectively, these results suggest that LtScp1 functions as a virulence factor to protect the fungus from degradation during the infection.

AUV Path Planning Algorithm for Terrain Aided Navigation - Wenjun Zhang; Peng Shen; Haodong Qi; Qianyi Zhang; Teng Ma; Ye Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Terrain aided navigation (TAN) technology can yield accurate navigation results in long-endurance underwater operation of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Most TAN research focus on the high-precision terrain matching algorithms. However, terrain matching algorithms estimate the position of the vehicle by observing a unique combination of features in the terrain, making it difficult to locate a vehicle with flat terrain. This paper presents a path planning method for AUV seabed TAN process to decrease positioning errors by avoiding flat areas. In this paper, a TAN path planning algorithm based on sector search is proposed. Parameters of the sector search algorithm are determined through theoretical analysis, which means the generated path can stably provide accurate TAN location results. Meanwhile, a control coefficient is proposed to maximize the terrain information contained in the sector searching area, bring out a high success rate of AUV positioning. The TAN performance of the paths generated using the proposed path planning method was verified in simulations, which show that the TAN can yield accurate positioning results stably on the path planned.

On the Sparse Gradient Denoising Optimization of Neural Network Models for Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis Illustrated by a Ship Propulsion System - Shuangzhong Wang; Ying Zhang; Bin Zhang; Yuejun Fei; Yong He; Peng Li; Mingqiang Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The drive rolling bearing is an important part of a ship’s system; the detection of the drive rolling bearing is an important component in ship-fault diagnosis, and machine learning methods are now widely used in the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. However, training methods based on small batches have a disadvantage in that the samples which best represent the gradient descent direction can be disturbed by either other samples in the opposite direction or anomalies. Aiming at this problem, a sparse denoising gradient descent (SDGD) optimization algorithm, based on the impact values of network nodes, was proposed to improve the updating method of the batch gradient. First, the network is made sparse by using the node weight method based on the mean impact value. Second, the batch gradients are clustered via a distribution-density-based clustering method. Finally, the network parameters are updated using the gradient values after clustering. The experimental results show the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed method. The SDGD model can achieve up to a 2.35% improvement in diagnostic accuracy compared to the traditional network diagnosis model. The training convergence speed of the SDGD model improves by 2.16%, up to 17.68%. The SDGD model can effectively solve the problem of falling into the local optimum point while training a network.

Study on the seasonal variations of dimethyl sulfide, its precursors and their impact factors in the Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea - Yu Guo; Liying Peng; Zishi Liu; Xiaoting Fu; Guicheng Zhang; Ting Gu; Danyang Li; Jun Sun (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is one of the most important volatile biogenic sulfur compounds and plays a significant role in global climate change. Studying the seasonal variations and the environmental factors that affect the concentration of DMS would aid in understanding the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur compounds. Using benzene-assisted photoionization positive ion mobility spectrometry (BAPI-PIMS), the seasonal distribution and the key impact factors of DMS and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in the Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea were investigated in the summer and autumn of 2019. The concentrations of DMS and its precursors, DMSPp and DMSPd, in the surface seawater were 0.11–23.90, 0.67–41.38, and 0.03–12.28 nmol/L, respectively, in summer, and 0.10–20.79, 0.39–13.51, and 0.18–20.58 nmol/L, respectively, in autumn. The air-to-sea exchange flux of DMS was 43.05 ± 44.52 and 34.06 ± 63.38 μmol/(m·d), respectively, in summer and autumn. The results demonstrated that the temperature was the most dominant environmental factor, and the abundance of dinoflagellates was the most dominant biological factor that affected the distribution of DMS and DMSP in summer. The abundance of diatoms was the most dominant biological factor, and the levels of PO 4 3- , NO 2 - , NO 3 - , and SiO 3 2- were the dominant environmental factors that affected the distribution of DMS and DMSP in autumn. These results of this study would be of great significance in understanding the biochemical cycle of DMS in BS and NYS.

Exploring the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Frigate Tuna (Auxis thazard) Habitat in the South China Sea in Spring and Summer during 2015–2019 Using Fishery and Remote Sensing Data - Xingxing Zhou; Zuozhi Chen; Pengli Xiong; Yancong Cai; Jie Li; Peng Zhang; Jun Zhang; Miao Li; Jiangtao Fan (Fishes, 2022)
Frigate tuna Auxis thazard fishery is considered a potential marine resource in the open South China Sea (SCS). However, little is known about the spatial and temporal distribution of its habitat, and how this may respond to environmental changes. Using fish survey and remote sensing data from 2015–2019, we applied generalized additive models to identify relationships between environmental factors and the distribution of A. thazard in the SCS. To examine seasonal patterns in the habitat of A. thazard in the SCS, we generated a habitat suitability index model using environmental factors screened by generalized additive models. Results showed that A. thazard migrates from south to north in the SCS, and its suitable habitat is patchily distributed. Significant environmental factors affecting the habitat of A. thazard distribution were different in different seasons; we demonstrated A. thazard to be sensitive to Chl-a in spring (optimum 0.155, optimal range ~0.1252–0.1840), and in summer to be sensitive to SST (optimum 30.405, optimal range ~29.789–31.021) and SSH (optimum 0.741, optimal range ~0.618–0.864). Suitable habitat in spring occurs mainly in northeastern areas, while in summer it occurs mainly around the southeastern Nansha Islands. Compared with that in spring, the area of suitable habitat increases in summer, as does the habitat suitability index of the entire sea area. These results improve our understanding of environmental factors that affect the distribution of A. thazard habitat in the SCS, and provide a scientific basis for the development and management of A. thazard resources.

Microbial community characteristics of the intestine and gills of medium-form populations of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis in the South China Sea - Xiaojuan Hu; Haochang Su; Peng Zhang; Zuozhi Chen; Yu Xu; Wujie Xu; Jie Li; Guoliang Wen; Yucheng Cao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis (purpleback squid) is an excellent biological resource in the South China Sea. However, the microbiological characteristics of this South China Sea squid, especially those of the medium-form of different sexes and gonadal maturities, are poorly understood. In this study, the characteristics of the bacterial community in the intestinal and gill tissues of female and male S. oualaniensis with different gonadal maturities, collected from the Nansha Sea of China in spring 2020, were analyzed. The results showed that Tenericutes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla in the intestinal microbial samples of female immature gonad (FN), male immature gonad (MN), and male sexual maturity (MY) samples of the S. oualaniensis populations. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, and Tenericutes were the dominant phyla in the intestinal microbial sample of the female sexual maturity (FY) group. The microbial community in the gills differed from that of the intestinal flora. The dominant phyla in the gill samples were Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes, regardless of sex or gonadal maturity. According to the random forest analysis, the gill samples had significantly ( p <0.001) more Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways in the top 20 than the intestinal samples. Correlation analysis showed that the mantle length of S. oualaniensis was significantly ( p <0.05) negatively correlated with the abundance of Tenericutes, but significantly ( p <0.01) positively correlated with Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. The mantle length of FY was significantly ( p <0.05) longer than that of the other types. The results indicated that the differences in the intestinal bacterial community were related to the growth and feeding characteristics of S. oualaniensis of different sexes and maturities.

Microbial Community Structure and Metabolic Characteristics of Intestine and Gills of Dwarf-Form Populations of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis in South China Sea - Xiaojuan Hu; Haochang Su; Peng Zhang; Zuozhi Chen; Yu Xu; Wujie Xu; Jie Li; Guoliang Wen; Yucheng Cao (Fishes, 2022)
Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis is an important biological resource in the South China Sea. However, the microbiological characteristics of this squid, especially those of the dwarf-form, are poorly understood. This study was conducted to analyze the microbial community structure and metabolic characteristics of the intestinal and gill tissues of dwarf-form populations of S. oualaniensis. The dwarf-form squids of different sexes and gonadal maturities were collected from South China Sea in spring 2020. Results showed that Mycoplasma was the most dominant group of bacteria in the intestinal samples of the females with immature gonads (FN), females at sexual maturity (FY), and males at sexual maturity (MY) and the second-highest relative abundance group in males with immature gonads (MN). The microbial community structure in squid gills differed from that of intestinal flora. The BD1-7 clade was the dominant genus in gill samples of all groups. Furthermore, the microbial community activities in gills were higher than in intestinal groups, especially FYG. The larger dwarf-form populations had microbial communities with more robust utilization of carbon sources, assessed via average well color development (AWCD). Correlation and redundancy analysis determined that AWCD significantly positively correlated with the relative abundance of BD1-7 clade (p

Mental health conditions and academic burnout among medical and non-medical undergraduates during the mitigation of COVID-19 pandemic in China - Qian Yang; Yueheng Liu; Winson Fuzun Yang; Pu Peng; Shubao Chen; Yunfei Wang; Xin Wang; Manyun Li; Yingying Wang; Yuzhu Hao; Li He; Qianjin Wang; et al. (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed a great impact on people’s mental health, especially for undergraduate students. This study aimed to compare the mental health conditions and academic burnout between medical and non-medical undergraduates in China when the COVID-19 pandemic is mitigating. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 4,972 undergraduates between October 2020 and April 2021, when the pandemic was basically under control. The survey included basic demographics information and standardized scales to evaluate depression, anxiety, perceived stress, daytime sleepiness, alcohol abuse/dependence, quality of life, fatigue, and academic burnout. Compared with medical undergraduates, non-medical undergraduates had higher rates of moderate to severe depression symptoms (29.1% vs. 17.9%, P < 0.001), moderate to severe anxiety symptoms (19.7% vs. 8.9%, P < 0.001), alcohol abuse/dependence (16.3% vs.10.3%, P < 0.001), excessive daytime sleepiness (47.4% vs. 43.4%, P = 0.018), high perceived stress (34.7% vs. 22.2%, P < 0.001), high level of fatigue (51.8% vs. 42.2%, P < 0.001), low QOL (35.8% vs. 21.4%, P < 0.001), and higher academic burnout score (59.4 vs. 57.5, P < 0.001). Being non-medical undergraduates, depression, alcohol abuse/dependence, excessive daytime sleepiness, and high perceived stress were positively associated with academic burnout, while high QOL was negatively associated with the burnout (all P < 0.001). Excessive daytime sleepiness was the strongest predictor for academic burnout.

Effects of climate change on major elements of the hydrological cycle in Aksu River basin, northwest China - Peng Yang; Wenyu Wang; Jun Xia; Yaning Chen; Chesheng Zhan; Shengqing Zhang; Cai Wei; Xiangang Luo; Jiang Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Water resources systems in arid regions are sensitive to climate change, which critically impacts the water cycle. In this study, we applied historical hydrometeorological data, CMIP5 data, and a large‐scale hydrological model (Community Land Model–Distributed Time‐Variant Gain Model [CLM–DTVGM]) to study the impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle (i.e., runoff, actual evapotranspiration (ET a ), and terrestrial water storage [TWS]) under different scenarios at the Aksu River basin (ARB) located in the arid region of northwest China. The primary findings of this study: (a) As the determination coefficient ( R 2 ) and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (NSE) reached desirable levels ( R 2 ≥ 0.583, NSE ≥ 0.371, and root‐mean‐square error ≤ 155.727), the CLM–DTVGM achieved a better simulation of runoff in the ARB; under climate change, the runoff depth in the irrigation area became shallower and followed a decreasing trend, with a minimum depth of 0.5 mm and a significant decreasing trend of −8 mm·a −1 . (b) Along with changes in the precipitation and temperature of the baseline period (i.e., 1980–2010), runoff, ET a , and TWS were predicted to change significantly in future scenarios. (c) Climate change significantly impacted the historical runoff from the Shaliguilanke and Xiehela hydrological stations, with correlation coefficients larger than 0.9; however, the runoff from the Alaer hydrological station was not affected. However, runoff, ET a , and TWS in the ARB were very closely correlated with climate change in the future scenarios, with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.9. Related research in the future would be important for guiding the sustainable development of the ARB.

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

Discrete Element Simulation of the Macro-Meso Mechanical Behaviors of Gas-Hydrate-Bearing Sediments under Dynamic Loading - Yujing Jiang; Meng Li; Hengjie Luan; Yichen Shi; Sunhao Zhang; Peng Yan; Baocheng Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Under the action of dynamic loadings such as earthquakes and volcanic activities, the mechanical properties of gas-hydrate-bearing sediments will deteriorate, leading to a decrease in the stability of hydrate reservoirs and even inducing geological disasters such as submarine landslides. In order to study the effect of dynamic loading on the mechanical properties of hydrate sediments, triaxial compression tests of numerical specimens were carried out by using particle flow code (PFC2D), and the macro-meso mechanical behaviors of specimens were investigated. The results show that the loading frequency has a small effect on the stiffness of the hydrate sediment, while it has a large effect on the peak strength. The peak strength increases and then decreases with the increase in loading frequency. Under the same loading frequency, the peak strength of the hydrate sediment increases with the increase in loading amplitude, and the stiffness of the specimen decreases with the increase in loading amplitude. The maximum shear expansion of the specimen changes with the movement of the phase change point and the rearrangement of the particles. The maximum shear expansion of the specimen changes with the movement of the phase change point and the change of the bearing capacity of the particles after the rearrangement, and the more forward the phase change point is, the stronger the bearing capacity of the specimen in the plastic stage. The shear dilatancy angle and the shear dilatancy amount both increase linearly with the increase in loading amplitude. The influence of loading frequency and amplitude on the contact force chain, displacement, crack expansion, and the number of cementation damage inside the sediment is mainly related to the average axial stress to which the specimen is subjected, and the number of cracks and cementation damage of the sediment specimen increases with the increase in the average axial stress to which the sediment specimen is subjected. As the rate of cementation damage increases, the distribution of shear zones becomes more obvious.

Tidal variation shaped microplastic enrichment patterns in mangrove blue carbon ecosystem of northern Beibu Gulf, China - Li Zhang; Shujia Wang; Qiying Jian; Peng Zhang; Yejin Lu; Haoqi Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Mangroves are considered to be a sink for microplastics (MPs) due to their unique characteristics. Previous studies mainly focused on the spatial distribution of MPs, but few researchers have addressed the influence of tidal variation on this distribution, especially since the MP total number in mangroves was unknown. In this study, surface sediment samples were collected in mangroves from the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea, and the abundance, composition, and number of MPs were investigated. The results showed that MPs were widely present in all mangrove sediment samples, with abundances ranging from 26.67 ± 9.43 to 239.94 ± 37.80 items/kg. The distribution of MPs was heterogeneous among different sampling sites, with the highest levels in the Shankou (SK) area. The MP abundance in the same mangrove forest gradually increased from the low tidal zone to the high tidal zone, with the enrichment factor ranging from 1.50 to 4.00. The MP abundance was significantly correlated with particulate organic carbon (POC) ( n = 12, R = 0.664, p < 0.05). Results showed that mangroves had an interception effect on MPs and factors affecting MP distribution in mangrove sediments included not only tides but also human activities, such as aquaculture, agriculture, and residential life. Finally, this paper estimated the MP total number in mangroves at different sampling areas and tidal zones, and the middle tidal zone was considered to be more accurate for MP pollution assessment in mangroves.

Functional Characterization of the Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol Synthase Gene ptMGD2 in the Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum - Shuo Shang; Ruyi Liu; Ling Luo; Xitong Li; Shengqiang Zhang; Yi Zhang; Peng Zheng; Zhuo Chen; Baoshan Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) is the most abundant polar lipid in thylakoid membrane, wherein it plays critical roles related to thylakoid membrane assembly and function in diatoms. However, diatom MGDG biosynthesis has not been fully characterized. In this study, we investigated the role of a novel MGDG synthase (ptMGD2), which is one of the key enzymes for MGDG biosynthesis, in the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum . An analysis of subcellular localization demonstrated that the ptMGD2 is mainly localized in plastids. Gene disruption by gene editing of ptMGD2 resulted in delayed growth, decrease in oxygen evolution rate, reduced MGDG and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (using MGDG as the substrate) content as well as lipid remodeling. Considered together, these observations provide novel insights into the importance of ptMGD2 for regulating MGDG biosynthesis and its potential roles in biotechnical application of Phaeodactylum .

Temporal Dynamics in Energy Fluxes and Trophic Structure of a Portunus trituberculatus Polyculture Ecosystem During Different Culture Periods - Jie Feng; Xiang-Li Tian; Shuang-Lin Dong; Rui-Peng He; Kai Zhang; Dong-Xu Zhang; Qing-Qi Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Swimming crab ( Portunus trituberculatus ) are an important aquaculture species in eastern coastal areas of China. To improve the understanding of P. trituberculatus culture ecosystem functioning, the dynamics of energy flow and trophic structure of a P. trituberculatus polyculture system (co-culture with white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and short-necked clam Ruditapes philippinarum ) were investigated in this study. Three Ecopath models representing the early, middle, and late culture periods of a P. trituberculatus polyculture ecosystem, respectively, were constructed to compare ecosystem traits at different culture periods. The results demonstrated that detritus was the main energy source in this polyculture ecosystem, and most of the total system throughput occurred at trophic levels I and II. Artificial food input and consumption by the culture organisms increased from early to middle and late periods, which produced marked impacts on biomass structure and primary production. R. philippinarum was considered to have a dominant influence on phytoplankton community dynamics which changed from nano- to pico-phytoplankton predominance, from the middle to the late period. Considering the low utilization efficiency of pico-phytoplankton production, large amounts of detritus accumulated in the sediment in the late period, which may constitute a potential risk for the ecosystem. Ecological network analyses indicated that the total energy flow and level of system organization increased from the early to the middle and late periods, whereas food web complexity and system resilience decreased from early to middle and late periods, which may indicate a trend of decreasing ecosystem stability. The system may be further optimized by increased stocking density of R. philippinarum and by introducing macro-algae at a suitable biomass to increase ecosystem stability, energy utilization efficiency, and aquaculture production.

A TMT-based shotgun proteomics uncovers overexpression of thrombospondin 1 as a contributor in pyrrolizidine alkaloid-induced hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome - Weiqian Wang; Yan Chen; Yue Yin; Xunjiang Wang; Xuanling Ye; Kaiyuan Jiang; Yi Zhang; Jiwei Zhang; Wei Zhang; Yuzheng Zhuge; Li Chen; Chao Peng; et al. (Archives of Toxicology, 2022)
Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction disease (HSOS) is a rare but life-threatening vascular liver disease. However, its underlying mechanism and molecular changes in HSOS are largely unknown, thus greatly hindering the development of its effective treatment. Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSECs) are the primary and essential target for HSOS. A tandem mass tag-based shotgun proteomics study was performed using primary cultured HSECs from mice with HSOS induced by senecionine, a representative toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA). Dynamic changes in proteome were found at the initial period of damage and the essential role of thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) was highlighted in PA-induced HSOS. TSP1 over-expression was further confirmed in human HSECs and liver samples from patients with PA-induced HSOS. LSKL peptide, a known TSP1 inhibitor, protected mice from senecionine-induced HSOS. In addition, TSP1 was found to be covalently modified by dehydropyrrolizidine alkaloids in human HSECs and mouse livers upon senecionine treatment, thus to form the pyrrole-protein adduct. These findings provide useful information on early changes in HSECs upon PA treatment and uncover TSP1 overexpression as a contributor in PA-induced HSOS. Graphical abstract

The effect of meteorological drought on vegetation cover in the Yellow River basin, China - Lu Jia; Kun‐xia Yu; Zhan‐bin Li; Peng Li; Guo‐ce Xu; Yu‐ting Cheng; Xiang Zhang; Zhi Yang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
As a widespread natural disaster, drought has a significant impact on changes in regional vegetation cover. Based on 1‐month standardized precipitation index (SPI1), this study took the Yellow River basin (YRB) with frequent droughts as the research object, using NDVI data from 1999 to 2018, Mann–Kendall trend test, and correlation test to study the temporal and spatial characteristics of meteorological drought, explored the response of vegetation cover to meteorological drought, and further discussed the possible factors affecting meteorological drought. The results of the study showed that from 1999 to 2018, the SPI1 in the YRB had not increased significantly in a large area in different months ( p > .05). On the monthly time scale, the NDVI of the YRB gradually increased from north to south, showing a significant increasing trend the central area ( p p p

Otolith Marking With Strontium for Stock Assessment in Coilia nasus - Ming-Zhi Liu; Ri-jin Jiang; Hui Zhang; Fan Yang; Xia-Fang Li; Guang-Peng Feng; Rui Yin; Feng Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Mass stock enhancement and release are excellent ways to recover Coilia nasus resources. However, it is challenging to evaluate stock enhancement effectively, and it is important to establish a method suitable for estimating C. nasus populations. We explored the effectiveness of marking otoliths in these fish with strontium by immersing C. nasus in hexahydrate strontium chloride solutions. We used laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to measure the strontium content of otoliths and fish bodies. The larvae (40 d post hatch) were reared in five different concentrations of strontium (0, 12, 24, 48, and 60 mg/L) for 7 d, followed by treatment in non-additive water for 3 wk. The results showed that the cumulative mortality rate was not significantly different between treatment and control groups ( P >0.05), except in the group treated with 24 mg/L strontium. The swimming and feeding behaviors did not change significantly, indicating that strontium did not negatively affect survival in this species. The strontium/calcium ratios of otoliths in the control group were stable (1.78–2.32 mmol/mol), whereas those of the experimental (marked) groups ranged widely (4.47–61.02 mmol/mol). The strontium/calcium ratios increased with increasing strontium concentration, but gradually returned to baseline values, resulting in a 100% success rate of marking with strontium. Following immersion in 12 mg/L strontium, strontium levels in the body returned to normal after 24 d. In summary, a treatment of 12 mg/L strontium for 4 d was identified as viable for marking. We confirmed the feasibility of strontium marking for the mass marking and release of C. nasus . This marking method does not affect the physiology of the fish and may provide a new approach for reasonable and scientific stock assessment of C. nasus post hatch.
