Neuropilin-2 Signaling Modulates Mossy Fiber Sprouting by Regulating Axon Collateral Formation Through CRMP2 in a Rat Model of Epilepsy - Yuxiang Li; Fangchao Tong; Yiying Zhang; Yiying Cai; Jing Ding; Qiang Wang; Xin Wang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Programmed neural circuit formation constitutes the foundation for normal brain functions. Axon guidance cues play crucial roles in neural circuit establishment during development. Whether or how they contribute to maintaining the stability of networks in mature brains is seldom studied. Upon injury, neural rewiring could happen in adulthood, of which mossy fiber sprouting (MFS) is a canonical example. Here, we uncovered a novel role of axon guidance molecule family Sema3F/Npn-2 signaling in MFS and epileptogenesis in a rat model of epilepsy. Dentate gyrus-specific Npn-2 knockdown increased seizure activity in epileptic animals along with increased MFS. Hippocampal culture results suggested that Npn-2 signaling modulates MFS via regulating axon outgrowth and collateral formation. In addition, we discovered that Sema3F/Npn-2 signal through CRMP2 by regulating its phosphorylation in the process of MFS. Our work illustrated that Npn-2 signaling in adult epilepsy animals could potentially modulate seizure activity by controlling MFS. MFS constitutes the structural basis for abnormal electric discharge of neurons and recurrent seizures. Therapies targeting Npn-2 signaling could potentially have disease-modifying anti-epileptogenesis effects in epilepsy treatment.

Novel SNPs in the 3′UTR Region of GHRb Gene Associated with Growth Traits in Striped Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), a Valuable Aquaculture Species - Liang-Sen Jiang; Zhuo-Hao Ruan; Zhi-Qiang Lu; Yi-Fu Li; Yuan-Yuan Luo; Xi-Quan Zhang; Wen-Sheng Liu (Fishes, 2022)
The striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is an important freshwater aquaculture species in Southeast Asian countries due to its rapid growth. The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a significant regulatory factor for the growth axis and has great potential applications in animal genetic breeding. This study aims to characterize the GHRb cDNA of the striped catfish and analyze the distribution of its mRNA. Screening of single nucleotide polymorphisms’ (SNPs) loci and diplotypes was performed to provide basic information for the assisted selection of molecular markers in genetic breeding. The results showed that the GHRb cDNA of striped catfish had 2791 bp, which encoded for 569 amino acids. In a phylogenyic study, the ghrb of the striped catfish was clustered with those of other catfish and they were highly homologous. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments showed that GHRb mRNA was expressed in ten different organs of the striped catfish, with the highest expression level in the liver. Five SNP and a haplotype block were identified in the 3′UTR of the GHRb gene using the direct sequencing of 307 individuals. Three haplotypes were found and four diplotypes were constructed. The association analysis revealed that these polymorphisms were significantly associated with growth traits in the striped catfish (p

Potential millennial‐scale avian declines by humans in southern China - Feng Dong; Qiang Zhang; Yi‐Lin Chen; Fu‐Min Lei; Shou‐Hsien Li; Fei Wu; Xiao‐Jun Yang (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Mounting observational records demonstrate human‐caused faunal decline in recent decades, while accumulating archaeological evidence suggests an early biodiversity impact of human activities during the Holocene. A fundamental question arises concerning whether modern wildlife population declines began during early human disturbance. Here, we performed a population genomic analysis of six common forest birds in East Asia to address this question. For five of them, demographic history inference based on 25–33 genomes of each species revealed dramatic population declines by 4‐ to 48‐fold over millennia (e.g. 2000–5000 thousand years ago). Nevertheless, summary statistics detected nonsignificant correlations between these population size trajectories and Holocene temperature variations, and ecological niche models explicitly predicted extensive range persistence during the Holocene, implying limited demographic consequence of Holocene climate change. Further analyses suggest high negative correlations between the reconstructed population declines and human disturbance intensities and indicate a potential driver of human activities. These findings provide a deep‐time and large‐scale insight into the recently recognized avifaunal decline and support an early origin hypothesis of human effects on biodiversity. Overall, our study sheds light on the current biodiversity crisis in the context of long‐term human–environment interactions and offers a multi‐evidential framework for quantitatively assessing the ecological consequences of human disturbance.

The long non-coding RNA LIMT inhibits metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma and is suppressed by EGF signaling - Yu Hu; Hao Li; Hongwei Zhang; Qiang Tang; Guangtan Zhang; Xiqing Li; Fei Xue (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Background The long non-coding RNA LIMT (lncRNA inhibiting metastasis) acts as a tumor suppressor factor in some cancers. However, the biological role of LIMT in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been explored. Methods and Results Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to evaluate the expression of LIMT in HCC tissue. The effects of LIMT on tumor growth and metastasis were assessed by in vitro experiments, including colony formation and transwell assays, and in vivo in nude mouse models. Western blot analysis was used to evaluate the expression levels of proteins associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). LIMT expression was significantly lower in HCC than in normal liver tissue. Functionally, overexpression of LIMT repressed the proliferation, invasion, and EMT of HCC cells, while LIMT knockdown increased proliferation, invasion, and EMT of HCC cells in vitro . Furthermore, LIMT overexpression suppressed HCC growth and metastasis while silencing of LIMT had an opposite effect in vivo . Finally, LIMT overexpression reversed EGF-induced EMT. Conclusions Our results suggest that LIMT could play an anti-cancer effect in HCC and might be a potential novel therapeutic target in HCC.

lncRNA BDNF-AS Attenuates Propofol-Induced Apoptosis in HT22 Cells by Modulating the BDNF/TrkB Pathway - Yu-Hai Xu; Yuan Luo; Jiang-Bei Cao; Yan-Hong Liu; Yu-Xiang Song; Xiao-Ying Zhang; Qiang Fu; Wei-Dong Mi; Hao Li (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Propofol is widely used as an intravenous anesthetic in clinical practice. Previous studies have indicated that propofol induces apoptosis in neurons. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a neurotrophic factor, is associated with neuronal apoptosis. BDNF-AS, a relatively conserved long non-coding RNA, can reverse the transcription of BDNF. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of BDNF-AS in propofol-induced apoptosis in HT22 cells. HT22 cells were treated with various concentrations of propofol at different time points. BDNF-AS was silenced using BDNF-AS-targeting siRNA. TrkB was antagonized by the TrkB inhibitor, ANA-12. Flow cytometry, quantitative reverse-transcription PCR, and western blotting were performed to analyze apoptosis and the expression of genes and proteins, respectively. In propofol-treated HT22 cells, BDNF-AS was upregulated, and BDNF was downregulated in a time- and dose-dependent manner. BDNF-AS downregulation mediated by siRNA mitigated apoptosis, upregulated the expression of Bcl-2, and downregulated the expression of Bax and caspase-3, 7, and 9. ANA-12 downregulated the expression of Bcl-2, upregulated the expression of Bax and caspase-3, 7, and 9, and increased apoptosis. Our study implied that inhibition of BDNF-AS can decrease propofol-induced apoptosis by activating the BDNF/TrkB pathway. Thus, the BDNF-AS-BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway may be a valuable target for treating propofol-induced neurotoxicity.

Phenotypic plasticity of light use favors a plant invader in nitrogen‐enriched ecosystems - Xiao Xu; Chenhao Zhou; Qiang He; Shiyun Qiu; Yan Zhang; Ji Yang; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Ecology, 2022)
Eutrophication is believed to promote plant invasion, resulting in high growth performances of invasive plants and, therefore, the great potential for growth‐induced intraspecific competition for light. Current hypotheses predict how eutrophication promotes plant invasion but fail to explain how great invasiveness is maintained under eutrophic conditions. In diverse native communities, co‐occurring plants of varying sizes can avoid light competition by exploiting light complementarily; however, whether this mechanism applies to intraspecific competition in invasive plant populations remains unknown. Using a 2‐year field nitrogen (N)‐enrichment experiment on one of the global invasive plants, Spartina alterniflora , we found that the plasticity of light use reduced intraspecific competition and increased biomass production in S. alterniflora . This plasticity effect was enhanced when S. alterniflora had no nutrient limitations. In the N‐enrichment treatments, the height difference among S. alterniflora ramets increased as light intensity decreased under the canopy. Compared with ambient N, under N enrichment, shorter individuals increased their light‐use efficiency and specific leaf area in response to the reduced light intensity under the canopy. However, such ecophysiological plasticity was not found for taller individuals. Our findings revealed that the light‐use plasticity of short individuals can be envisaged as a novel mechanism by which an invasive plant alleviates intraspecific competition and increases its invasiveness, challenging the prevailing perspective that the invasiveness of exotic plants is constrained by intraspecific competition.

Dissection of the practical soybean breeding pipeline by developing ZDX1, a high-throughput functional array - Rujian Sun; Bincheng Sun; Yu Tian; Shanshan Su; Yong Zhang; Wanhai Zhang; Jingshun Wang; Ping Yu; Bingfu Guo; Huihui Li; Yanfei Li; Huawei Gao; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message We developed the ZDX1 high-throughput functional soybean array for high accuracy evaluation and selection of both parents and progeny, which can greatly accelerate soybean breeding. Abstract Microarray technology facilitates rapid, accurate, and economical genotyping. Here, using resequencing data from 2214 representative soybean accessions, we developed the high-throughput functional array ZDX1, containing 158,959 SNPs, covering 90.92% of soybean genes and sites related to important traits. By application of the array, a total of 817 accessions were genotyped, including three subpopulations of candidate parental lines, parental lines and their progeny from practical breeding. The fixed SNPs were identified in progeny, indicating artificial selection during the breeding process. By identifying functional sites of target traits, novel soybean cyst nematode-resistant progeny and maturity-related novel sources were identified by allele combinations, demonstrating that functional sites provide an efficient method for the rapid screening of desirable traits or gene sources. Notably, we found that the breeding index (BI) was a good indicator for progeny selection. Superior progeny were derived from the combination of distantly related parents, with at least one parent having a higher BI. Furthermore, new combinations based on good performance were proposed for further breeding after excluding redundant and closely related parents. Genomic best linear unbiased prediction (GBLUP) analysis was the best analysis method and achieved the highest accuracy in predicting four traits when comparing SNPs in genic regions rather than whole genomic or intergenic SNPs. The prediction accuracy was improved by 32.1% by using progeny to expand the training population. Collectively, a versatile assay demonstrated that the functional ZDX1 array provided efficient information for the design and optimization of a breeding pipeline for accelerated soybean breeding.

GNSS observable-specific phase biases for all-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution - Jianghui Geng; Qiang Wen; Qiyuan Zhang; Guangcai Li; Kunlun Zhang (Journal of Geodesy, 2022)
An unwritten rule to resolve GNSS ambiguities in precise point positioning (PPP-AR) is that users should follow faithfully the frequency choices and observable combinations mandated by satellite clock and phase bias providers. Switching to other frequencies of measurements requires that the satellite clocks be converted, albeit in a roundabout way, to agree with the new frequencies of code biases. Satellite phase biases, on the other hand, are prescribed conventionally as wide-lane and narrow-lane combinations, which prevents users from resolving other phase combinations in the case of multi-frequency observables. We therefore develop an approach to compute observable-specific phase biases (phase OSBs) in concert with the legacy, but ambiguity-fixed, satellite clocks to enable PPP-AR over any frequency choices and observable combinations at the user end, i.e. , all-frequency PPP-AR. In particular, the phase OSBs on the baseline frequencies ( e.g. , L1/L2 for GPS and E1/E5a for Galileo) are estimated by decoupling the code OSBs pre-aligned with the satellite clocks; then satellite clocks are re-estimated by holding pre-resolved undifferenced ambiguities and phase OSBs on the baseline frequencies; finally, all third-frequency phase OSBs are determined by introducing the ambiguity-fixed satellite clocks above. We used a global network of multi-frequency GPS/Galileo data over a month to verify this approach. In dual-frequency PPP-AR using GPS L1/L2, L1/L5, Galileo E1/E5a, E1/E5b, E1/E5 and E1/E6 signals, over 95% of wide-lane and narrow-lane ambiguity residuals were within ±0.25 and ±0.15 cycles, respectively, after the code and phase OSB corrections on raw GNSS measurements. As a result, the ambiguity fixing rates reached around 95% in all PPP-AR tests, though it was only the satellite clocks aligned with the GPS L1/L2 and Galileo E1/E5a pseudorange that were applied throughout. We stress that the key to computing such phase OSBs for all-frequency PPP-AR is that the code OSBs have the same bias datum as that of the satellite clocks.

Pore-Scale Investigation of the Electrical Property and Saturation Exponent of Archie’s Law in Hydrate-Bearing Sediments - Jinhuan Zhao; Changling Liu; Chengfeng Li; Yongchao Zhang; Qingtao Bu; Nengyou Wu; Yang Liu; Qiang Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Characterizing the electrical property of hydrate-bearing sediments is essential for hydrate reservoir identification and saturation evaluation. As the major contributor to electrical conductivity, pore water is a key factor in characterizing the electrical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments. The objective of this study is to clarify the effect of hydrates on pore water and the relationship between pore water characteristics and the saturation exponent of Archie’s law in hydrate-bearing sediments. A combination of X-ray computed tomography and resistivity measurement technology is used to derive the three-dimensional spatial structure and resistivity of hydrate-bearing sediments simultaneously, which is helpful to characterize pore water and investigate the saturation exponent of Archie’s law at the micro-scale. The results show that the resistivity of hydrate-bearing sediments is controlled by changes in pore water distribution and connectivity caused by hydrate formation. With the increase of hydrate saturation, pore water connectivity decreases, but the average coordination number and tortuosity increase due to much smaller and more tortuous throats of pore water divided by hydrate particles. It is also found that the saturation exponent of Archie’s law is controlled by the distribution and connectivity of pore water. As the parameters of connected pore water (e.g., porosity, water saturation) decrease, the saturation exponent decreases. At a low hydrate-saturation stage, the saturation exponent of Archie’s law changes obviously due to the complicated pore structure of hydrate-bearing sediments. A new logarithmic relationship between the saturation exponent of Archie’s law and the tortuosity of pore water is proposed which helps to calculate field hydrate saturation using resistivity logging data.

Divergence in the Aquilegia ecalcarata complex is correlated with geography and climate oscillations: Evidence from plastid genome data - Cheng Xue; Fang‐Dong Geng; Jiao‐Jie Li; Dan‐Qing Zhang; Fei Gao; Lei Huang; Xiao‐Hui Zhang; Ju‐Qing Kang; Jian‐Qiang Zhang; Yi Ren (Molecular Ecology, 2021)
Quaternary climate oscillations and geographical heterogeneity play important roles in determining species and genetic diversity distribution patterns, but how these factors affect the migration and differentiation of East Asian plants species at the population level remains poorly understood. The Aquilegia ecalcarata complex, a group that originated in the Late Tertiary and is widely distributed throughout East Asia, displays high genetic variation that is suitable for studying elaborate phylogeographic patterns and demographic history related to the impact of Quaternary climate and geography. We used plastid genome data from 322 individuals in 60 populations of the A . ecalcarata complex to thoroughly explore the impact of Quaternary climate oscillations and geography on the phylogeographic patterns and demographic history of the A . ecalcarata complex through a series of phylogenetic, divergence time estimation, and demographic history analyses. The dry, cold climate and frequent climate oscillations that occurred during the early Pleistocene and the Mid‐Pleistocene transition led to the differentiation of the A . ecalcarata complex, which was isolated in various areas. Geographically, the A . ecalcarata complex can be divided into Eastern and Western Clades and five subclades, which conform to the divergence of the East Asian flora. Our results clearly show the impact of Quaternary climate and geography on evolutionary history at the population level. These findings promote the understanding of the relationship between plant genetic differentiation and climate and geographical factors of East Asia at the population level.

Understanding the variability of the rainfall dipole in West Africa using the EC-Earth last millennium simulation - Qiong Zhang; Ellen Berntell; Qiang Li; Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist (Climate Dynamics, 2021)
There is a well-known mode of rainfall variability associating opposite hydrological conditions over the Sahel region and the Gulf of Guinea, forming a dipole pattern. Previous meteorological observations show that the dipole pattern varies at interannual timescales. Using an EC-Earth climate model simulation for last millennium (850–1850 CE), we investigate the rainfall variability in West Africa over longer timescales. The 1000-year-long simulation data show that this rainfall dipole presents at decadal to multidecadal and centennial variability and long-term trend. Using the singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, we identified that the rainfall dipole present in the first SVD mode with 60% explained variance and associated with the variabilities in tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST). The second SVD mode shows a monopole rainfall variability pattern centred over the Sahel, associated with the extra-tropical Atlantic SST variability. We conclude that the rainfall dipole-like pattern is a natural variability mode originated from the local ocean–atmosphere-land coupling in the tropical Atlantic basin. The warm SST anomalies in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean favour an anomalous low pressure at the tropics. This low pressure weakens the meridional pressure gradient between the Saharan Heat Low and the tropical Atlantic. It leads to anomalous northeasterly, reduces the southwesterly moisture flux into the Sahel and confines the Gulf of Guinea's moisture convergence. The influence from extra-tropical climate variability, such as Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, tends to modify the rainfall dipole pattern to a monopole pattern from the Gulf of Guinea to Sahara through influencing the Sahara heat low. External forcing—such as orbital forcing, solar radiation, volcanic and land-use—can amplify/dampen the dipole mode through thermal forcing and atmosphere dynamical feedback.

Application of an improved multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis approach for estimation of the complexity of daily precipitation - Liangliang Zhang; Heng Li; Dong Liu; Qiang Fu; Mo Li; Muhammad Abrar Faiz; Shoaib Ali; Muhammad Imran Khan; Tianxiao Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Affected by climate change and high‐intensity human activities, the precipitation series is characterized by nonlinear complex fluctuations. In order to accurately quantify the precipitation complexity, the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method was introduced to address the shortcomings of the traditional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA), and the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method was proposed to explore the spatiotemporal variability and possible causes of precipitation complexity in Northeast China (NEC). The results showed that the traditional MFDFA method generally overestimated precipitation complexity. However, the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method improved the accuracy and reliability of precipitation complexity analysis. Daily precipitation series in NEC were characterized by multifractal with high uncertainty and anti‐persistence. The lowest precipitation complexity was 0.573, which appeared in Qian'an, Jilin Province, and the highest precipitation complexity was 1.108, which appeared in the Boketu, Inner Mongolia. The cities with high complexity of daily precipitation are sporadically distributed in the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. The average complexity is ~0.892, accounting for 22.5% of the total administrative districts. The complexity of daily precipitation showed a statistically insignificant downward trend with time. The precipitation dynamics structure in the southeast and northwest of the study area was complex, and the precipitation was less predictable than other regions. However, the precipitation dynamics structure was relatively simple and the precipitation was easily predictable in the northeastern, central and southwestern regions. Elevation, topographic relief, changes in water area, forest area and agricultural production were the main influencing factors for the differences in precipitation complexity. Results also revealed that increasing the area of forestland by means of protecting and breeding forests, via regulation of the forest ecosystems to alleviate the complex precipitation process will become a reliable approach to cope with nonstationary precipitation.

Natural Infection of Covert Mortality Nodavirus in Small Yellow Croaker in Coastal Water - Tingting Xu; Yingxia Li; Xiujuan Shan; Jingwei Hao; Qiang Wu; Kathy F. J. Tang; Qingli Zhang; Cuiluan Yao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Covert mortality nodavirus (CMNV) is an alphanodavirus mainly infecting marine shrimp and co-inhabiting organisms in aquaculture ponds. To evaluate the possibility of CMNV prevalence in the wild fish species, epidemiological survey of CMNV infection in Larimichthys polyactis , the dominant species in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, were conducted in the present study. We performed CMNV RT-LAMP assay in samples of L. polyactis collected in August 2018 and 2019 and found that CMNV prevalence was 18% and 7%, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of both RdRp and capsid protein genes of CMNV from L. polyactis were 99% similar to those of CMNV isolated from shrimp. CMNV-positive L. polyactis exhibited necrosis of cardiac muscle, oocytes loosely arranging, severe cytoplasmic vacuolation of hepatocytes, moderate pyknosis of brain pyramidal cells, degenerate renal tubular cells with ill-defined margins, and declined spleen cells in the histological examination. Moreover, CMNV-positive signals were further observed in pyramidal cells of the brain, the cortical area of the kidney, oocyte growth rings, and in necrotic tissues of cardiac muscle, liver, and spleen in the in situ hybridization assay. The results revealed that CMNV had colonized in the wild populations of L. polyactis and the ecological risk of CMNV spread and epidemic in wild fish in the coastal water was non-negligible.

Ambient fine particulate matter of 2.5 μm or less in diameter (PM 2.5 ) of environment contamination is deemed as a risk factor of cerebrovascular diseases. Yet there is still no explicit evidence strongly supporting that PM 2.5 with per unit increment can increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS). Literatures were searched from PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase. After the systemic review of relevant studies, random effects model was used to perform meta-analysis and to evaluate the association between PM 2.5 and risk of HS. Seven cohort studies were finally included, involving more than 6 million people and 37,667 endpoint events (incidence or mortality of HS). Total scores of quality assessment were 50. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) for crude HRs was 1.13 (95%CI: 1.09–1.17) (CI for confidence interval). Pooled HR of subgroup analysis for current smoking with exposure to growing PM 2.5 was 1.14 (95%CI: 0.92–2.15) and for never and former smoking was 1.04 (95%CI: 0.74–1.46). Ambient PM 2.5 level is significantly associated with the risk of HS, which might be a potential risk factor of HS. Smoking does not further increase the risk of HS under exposure of PM 2.5 .

TLR8 in the Trigeminal Ganglion Contributes to the Maintenance of Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain in Mice - Lin-Xia Zhao; Ming Jiang; Xue-Qiang Bai; De-Li Cao; Xiao-Bo Wu; Jing Zhang; Jian-Shuang Guo; Tong-Tong Chen; Juan Wang; Hao Wu; Yong-Jing Gao; Zhi-Jun Zhang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP) is a significant health problem but the involved mechanism has not been completely elucidated. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have recently been demonstrated to be expressed in the dorsal root ganglion and involved in chronic pain. Here, we show that TLR8 was persistently increased in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons in model of TNP induced by partial infraorbital nerve ligation (pIONL). In addition, deletion or knockdown of Tlr8 in the TG attenuated pIONL-induced mechanical allodynia, reduced the activation of ERK and p38-MAPK, and decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TG. Furthermore, intra-TG injection of the TLR8 agonist VTX-2337 induced pain hypersensitivity. VTX-2337 also increased the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration, induced the activation of ERK and p38, and increased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TG. These data indicate that TLR8 contributes to the maintenance of TNP through increasing MAPK-mediated neuroinflammation. Targeting TLR8 signaling may be effective for the treatment of TNP.

Habitat‐dependent impacts of exotic plant invasions on benthic food webs in a coastal wetland - Sikai Wang; Qiang He; Youzheng Zhang; Qiang Sheng; Bo Li; Jihua Wu (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Exotic plants with wide ecological niches often invade multiple types of habitats, leading to homogenization of ecosystem structure and functions. How exotic plant invasions affect the structure and functions of benthic food webs in different habitats is poorly understood. We tested how Spartina alterniflora invasions affected benthic food webs in four contrasting types of habitat ( Scirpus mariqueter marshes, Phragmites australis marshes, unvegetated tidal creeks, and bare tidal flats) in the Yangtze estuary. We examined distribution pattern of benthic macroinvertebrates, and documented the differences in basal resources of benthic food web by stable isotope analyses of δ 13 C and δ 15 N in different habitats. Our results showed that in unvegetated habitats, conversion of tidal creeks and bare tidal flats to exotic marshes following Spartina invasions significantly altered the functional composition of benthic food webs, which was driven partially by bottom‐up processes related to a consumer dietary shift from benthic organic matter to detritus (trophic effect) and by alteration in species composition related to habitat changes (nontrophic effect). In vegetated native habitats, while the replacement of native plants by Spartina consistently led to a shift in consumer diet from benthic organic matter to detritus, it did not significantly alter the functional composition of benthic food webs. These data suggested the relative importance of trophic and nontrophic effects of plant invasions on benthic food webs could vary with habitat structure (e.g., the presence of native vegetation). Our study provides new insights into the mechanisms underlying homogenization of ecosystem structure and functions by exotic plant invasions.

Variance Component Decomposition for Growth Traits of the Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) - Hengde Li; Yangfan Wang; Qiang Xing; Qifan Zeng; Liang Zhao; Yaqun Zhang; Xiaoli Hu; Zhenmin Bao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The bay scallop ( Argopecten irradians irradians ) is one of the most important shellfish species in China. Since their introduction into China, only mass selection has been used in bay scallop breeding. With its gradual expansion and shortage of mate selection, population homozygosity increased, and fitness decreased. To investigate the effects of inbreeding and provide reference for improving breeding strategies and mating management, the variance components of the growth traits of the bay scallop were decomposed with genomic relationship matrices. The results indicated that the genetic variations in shell height and length were mainly accounted for by the additive effects. The genetic variation in shell width was mainly caused by dominance or dominance-by-dominance epistasis. The genetic variation in body weight was accounted for by dominance. No significant directional dominances were detected for all growth traits. Cross-validation for genomic prediction showed that including insignificant inbreeding in the genomic prediction model is not necessary, and we suggest that the genomic prediction model should be optimized with both likelihood ratio tests and cross-validation before utilization in practice.

BCC-ESM1 is the first version of the Beijing Climate Center’s Earth System Model, and is participating in phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The Aerosol Chemistry Model Intercomparison Project (AerChemMIP) is the only CMIP6-endorsed MIP in which BCC-ESM1 is involved. All AerChemMIP experiments in priority 1 and seven experiments in priorities 2 and 3 have been conducted. The DECK (Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima) and CMIP historical simulations have also been run as the entry card of CMIP6. The AerChemMIP outputs from BCC-ESM1 have been widely used in recent atmospheric chemistry studies. To facilitate the use of the BCC-ESM1 datasets, this study describes the experiment settings and summarizes the model outputs in detail. Preliminary evaluations of BCC-ESM1 are also presented, revealing that: the climate sensitivities of BCC-ESM1 are well within the likely ranges suggested by IPCC AR5; the spatial structures of annual mean surface air temperature and precipitation can be reasonably captured, despite some common precipitation biases as in CMIP5 and CMIP6 models; a spurious cooling bias from the 1960s to 1990s is evident in BCC-ESM1, as in most other ESMs; and the mean states of surface sulfate concentrations can also be reasonably reproduced, as well as their temporal evolution at regional scales. These datasets have been archived on the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) node for atmospheric chemistry studies.

Knowledge of Cervical Cancer, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and HPV Vaccination Among Women in Northeast China - Yu-e Ning; Yao Liu; Xiao-yu Xu; Xin-yu Zhang; Ning Wang; Li-qiang Zheng (Journal of Cancer Education, 2020)
This study aimed to research the understanding and knowledge of cervical cancer, human papilloma virus (HPV), and HPV vaccination, and the acceptance of HPV vaccination, among a population of women in northeastern China. A cross-sectional survey was carried out by questionnaire to investigate knowledge of cervical cancer, HPV, and HPV vaccination. The 230 female participants were native residents of northeastern China, and their ages ranged between 18 and 65 years. Questionnaires were randomly acquired by the respondents from online and paper questionnaire distribution. The questionnaire included questions on three major aspects to record people’s perceptions of cervical cancer, HPV, and vaccines. Of the sample of 230 women surveyed, 80.9% had heard of cervical cancer, but understanding was only 15.7%; 38.3% knew about HPV; 20% knew about HPV vaccine; 39.6% agreed to receive HPV vaccination, and the remainder were mainly concerned about its safety and effectiveness. Data analysis showed that age, family income, and whether there was experience of screening all influenced knowledge of cervical cancer, but this was not statistically significant. The level of education had no obvious effect on the degree of knowledge about cervical cancer; however, with an improvement in education, women’s awareness of HPV vaccine improved significantly ( p < 0.05). Women who have received cervical cancer screening had significantly greater knowledge about cervical cancer and HPV than those with no screening ( p < 0.05). Women in northeastern China have little knowledge of cervical cancer, HPV, and HPV vaccine, lack disease knowledge, and hold a skeptical attitude about HPV vaccination. Medical institutions are the main channel providing information to these women.

Upregulation of miRNA-23a-3p rescues high glucose-induced cell apoptosis and proliferation inhibition in cardiomyocytes - Fang Wu; Feng Wang; Qian Yang; Yawen Zhang; Ke Cai; Lian Liu; Shuchun Li; YuanZheng Zheng; Jialing Zhang; Yiting Gui; Youhua Wang; Xu Wang; et al. (In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 2020)
Maternal hyperglycemia potentially inhibits the development of the fetal heart by suppressing cardiomyocyte proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Different studies have indicated that miRNAs are key regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis and play a protective role in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. However, the biological function of miRNA-23a in hyperglycemia-related cardiomyocyte injury is not fully understood. The present study investigated the effect of miRNA-23a-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis in a myocardial injury model induced by high glucose. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were exposed to high glucose to establish an in vitro myocardial injury model and then transfected with miRNA-23a-3p mimics. After miRNA-23a-3p transfection, lens-free microscopy was used to dynamically monitor cell numbers and confluence and calculate the cell cycle duration. CCK-8 and EdU incorporation assays were performed to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to measured cell apoptosis. Upregulation of miRNA-23a-3p significantly alleviated high glucose-induced cell apoptosis and cell proliferation inhibition ( p < 0.01 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The cell cycle of the miRNA-23a-3p mimics group was significantly shorter than that of the negative control group ( p < 0.01). The expression of cell cycle–activating and apoptosis inhibition-associated factors Ccna2 , Ccne1 , and Bcl-2 was downregulated by high glucose and upregulated by miRNA-23a-3p overexpression in high glucose-injured H9c2 cells. miRNA-23a-3p mimics transfection before high glucose treatment had a significantly greater benefit than transfection after high glucose treatment ( p < 0.0001), and the rescue effect of miRNA-23a-3p increased as the concentration increased. This study suggests that miRNA-23a-3p exerted a dose- and time-dependent protective effect on high glucose-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury.
