Summary Interspecific interaction happens frequently among bacterial species and can promote the colonization of polymicrobial community in various environments. However, it is not clear whether the intervention of antibiotics, which is a common therapeutic method for infectious disease, will influence the interacting dynamics of different pathogenic bacteria. By using the frequently co‐isolated bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus as models, here we identify an antibiotic‐determined mutual invasion relationship between bacterial pathogens. We show that although P . aeruginosa has a significant intrinsic competitive advantage over S . aureus by producing the quorum‐sensing (QS)‐controlled anti‐staphylococcal molecules, methicillin‐resistant S . aureus (MRSA) can inhibit neighbouring P . aeruginosa in the presence of subinhibitory aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g. streptomycin) to P . aeruginosa . Importantly, subinhibitory streptomycin decreases the expression of QS‐regulated genes in P . aeruginosa and thus relieves the survival stress of MRSA brought by P . aeruginosa . On the other side, the iron‐uptake systems and pathogenicity of MRSA can be enhanced by the extracellular products of streptomycin‐treated P . aeruginosa . Therefore, this study provides an explanation for the substitution of dominant species and persistent coexistence of bacterial pathogens in the host with repeated antibiotic therapies and contributes to further understanding the pathogenesis of chronic polymicrobial infections.

Impact of MtrA on phosphate metabolism genes and the response to altered phosphate conditions in Streptomyces - Yanping Zhu; Peipei Zhang; Ting Lu; Xinyuan Wang; Aiying Li; Yinhua Lu; Meifeng Tao; Xiuhua Pang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Phosphate metabolism is known to be regulated by the PhoPR regulatory system in Streptomyces and some other bacteria. In this study, we report that MtrA also regulates phosphate metabolism in Streptomyces . Our data showed that, in Streptomyces coelicolor , MtrA regulates not only phosphate metabolism genes such as phoA but also phoP under different phosphate conditions, including growth on rich complex media without added inorganic phosphate and on defined media with low or high concentrations of inorganic phosphate. Cross‐regulation was also observed among mtrA , phoP and glnR under these conditions. We demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo binding of MtrA to the promoter regions of genes associated with phosphate metabolism and to the intergenic region between phoR and phoU , indicating that these phosphate metabolism genes are targets of MtrA. We further showed that MtrA in S . lividans and S . venezuelae has detectable regulatory effects on expression of phosphate metabolism genes. Additionally, the MtrA homologue from Corynebacterium glutamicum bound predicted MtrA sites of multiple phosphate metabolism genes, implying its potential for regulating phosphate metabolism in this species. Overall, our findings support MtrA as a major regulator for phosphate metabolism in Streptomyces and also potentially in other actinobacteria.

Identification of Neuronal Polarity by Node-Based Machine Learning - Chen-Zhi Su; Kuan-Ting Chou; Hsuan-Pei Huang; Chiau-Jou Li; Ching-Che Charng; Chung-Chuan Lo; Daw-Wei Wang (Neuroinformatics, 2021)
Identifying the direction of signal flows in neural networks is important for understanding the intricate information dynamics of a living brain. Using a dataset of 213 projection neurons distributed in more than 15 neuropils of a Drosophila brain, we develop a powerful machine learning algorithm: node-based polarity identifier of neurons (NPIN). The proposed model is trained only by information specific to nodes, the branch points on the skeleton, and includes both Soma Features (which contain spatial information from a given node to a soma) and Local Features (which contain morphological information of a given node). After including the spatial correlations between nodal polarities, our NPIN provided extremely high accuracy (>96.0%) for the classification of neuronal polarity, even for complex neurons with more than two dendrite/axon clusters. Finally, we further apply NPIN to classify the neuronal polarity of neurons in other species (Blowfly and Moth), which have much less neuronal data available. Our results demonstrate the potential of NPIN as a powerful tool to identify the neuronal polarity of insects and to map out the signal flows in the brain’s neural networks if more training data become available in the future.

γ-Aminobutyric Acid Participates in the Adult-Phase Adventitious Rooting Recalcitrance - Xu Li; Xiaozhao Xu; Fei Shen; Wei Li; Changpeng Qiu; Ting Wu; Yi Wang; Xuefeng Xu; Zhenhai Han; Xinzhong Zhang (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2021)
In many tree species especially the rooting-recalcitrant woody perennials, the adventitious root (AR) in the juvenile phase can be easily induced by exogenous auxin, but AR formation becomes recalcitrant in the adult phase. Also, it is reported that the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibits primary root growth in Arabidopsis and the AR formation in poplar ( Populus ssp). So far, how GABA affects or is affected by the ontogenetic phase or auxin remains unclear. Here, we used an apple rootstock, Malus xiaojinensis, and tobacco ( Nicotiana benthamiana ) to investigate this question. We first analyzed the content of GABA, the activity of GABA synthetic enzyme GAD, and the expression of the coding gene MxGADs, respectively, in leafy cuttings of juvenile and adult phase. Next, the effect of exogenous GABA on AR formation was examined in in vitro shoots of M. xiaojinensis and tobacco. Interestingly, significant and consistent increases in GABA concentration, GAD activity, and expression of MxGAD genes in response to exogenous indole butyric acid (IBA) were detected in adult-phase cuttings, but not in juvenile-phase cuttings. Exogenous GABA application inhibited the AR formation by delaying rooting time and reducing root number and the total root length in in vitro shoots of both M. xiaojinensis and tobacco. The expression of MxPIN members increased in response to IBA application, but these changes were restrained by the addition of GABA. These results indicate that both the loss of juvenility and IBA are required to trigger GABA accumulation. GABA may affect the AR formation as a co-actor by inhibiting polar auxin transport. Together, these findings facilitate the understanding of the regulatory network among GABA, juvenility, and auxin signaling on the AR formation.

Characterization of a novel shrimp pathogen, Vibrio brasiliensis , isolated from Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei - Ge Li; Guosi Xie; Hailiang Wang; Xiaoyuan Wan; Xinshu Li; Chengyin Shi; Ziyan Wang; Miao Gong; Ting Li; Ping Wang; Qingli Zhang; Jie Huang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
A novel pathogenic strain Vibrio 20190611023 was isolated from the hepatopancreas of moribund cultured Penaeus vannamei suffering from black gill disease. This strain was identified as V . brasiliensis based on the phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA gene and five other housekeeping genes (i.e., gapA , ftsZ , mreB , topA and gyrB ). Some biochemical features of this strain were determined with an API 20NE system, and its haemolytic activity was determined using a sheep blood agar plate. The pathogenicity of this isolate 20190611023 was confirmed by the experimental challenge tests and histopathological examinations. P. vannamei were challenged via reverse gavage with different doses of bacterial suspensions. The calculated median lethal dose (LD 50 ) was (3.16 ± 1.78) × 10 5 CFU/g (body weight). Moreover, antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed, the results of which showed that the strain 20190611023 was sensitive to chloramphenicol, compound sulphamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline and oxacillin, but resistant to erythromycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, cefamezin and piperacillin. To our knowledge, this is the first report for demonstrating V . brasiliensis as a shrimp pathogen, which expands the host range of V . brasiliensis infection. The present study highlights that more attention should be paid to this novel pathogen in intensive shrimp aquaculture.

Cross‐phytogroup assessment of foliar epiphytic mycobiomes - Ting Zhu; Jia Yao; Hao Liu; Chen‐Hao Zhou; Yuan‐Zhan Liu; Zheng‐Wei Wang; Zhe‐Xue Quan; Bo Li; Ji Yang; Wei‐Chang Huang; Ming Nie (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary The foliar surface forms one of the largest aboveground habitats on Earth and maintains plant‐fungus relationships that greatly affect ecosystem functioning. Despite many studies with particular plant species, the foliar epiphytic mycobiome has not been studied across a large number of plant species from different taxa. Using high‐throughput sequencing, we assessed epiphytic mycobiomes on leaf surfaces of 592 plant species in a botanical garden. Plants of angiosperms, gymnosperms, and pteridophytes were involved. Plant taxonomy, leaf side, growing environment, and evolutionary relationships were considered. We found that pteridophytes showed the higher fungal species diversity, stronger mutualistic fungal interactions, and a greater percentage of putative pathogens than gymnosperms and angiosperms. Plant taxonomic group, leaf side, and growing environment were significantly associated with the foliar epiphytic mycobiome, but the similarity of the mycobiomes among plants was not directly related to the distance of the host evolutionary tree. Our results provide a general understanding of the foliar fungal mycobiomes from pteridophytes to angiosperms. These findings will facilitate our understanding of foliar fungal epiphytes and their roles in plant communities and ecosystems.

Phylogenetic and Phenogenetic Diversity of Synechococcus along a Yellow Sea Section Reveal Its Environmental Dependent Distribution and Co-Occurrence Microbial Pattern - Ting Wang; Xi Chen; Song Qin; Jialin Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Synechococcus is a dominant genus of the coastal phytoplankton with an effective contribution to primary productivity. Here, the phylogenetic and phenogenetic composition of Synechococcus in the coastal Yellow Sea was addressed by sequencing marker gene methods. Meanwhile, its co-occurrence pattern with bacterial and eukaryotic microbes was further investigated based on the construction of networks. The result revealed that Synechococcus abundance ranged from 9.8 × 102 cells mL−1 to 1.6 × 105 cells mL−1, which was significantly correlated to sampling depth and nutrient contents of nitrite, ammonia, and dissolved silicon. A total of eight Synechococcus phylogenetic lineages were detected, of which clade III was dominant in most of the samples. Meanwhile, clade I increased along the water column and even reached a maximum value of 76.13% at 20 m of station B. Phenogenetically, Synechococcus PT3 was always the predominant pigment type across the whole study zone. Only salinity was significantly correlated to the phenogenetic constitution. The networks revealed that Synechococcus co-occurred with 159 prokaryotes, as well as 102 eukaryotes including such possible grazers as Gymnodinium clades and Alveolata. Potential function prediction further showed that microbes co-occurring with Synechococcus were associated with diverse element cycles, but the exact mechanism needed further experimentation to verify. This research promotes exploring regularity in the genomic composition and niche position of Synechococcus in the coastal ecosystem and is significant to further discuss its potential participation in materials circulation and bottom-up effects in microbial food webs.

Background and aims As drought threatens the yield and quality of maize ( Zea mays L.), it is important to dissect the molecular basis of maize drought tolerance. Flavonoids, participate in the scavenging of oxygen free radicals and alleviate stress-induced oxidative damages. This study aims to dissect the function of flavonoids in the improvement of maize drought tolerance. Methods Using far-infrared imaging screening, we previously isolated a drought overly insensitivity ( doi ) mutant from an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-mutagenized maize library and designated it as doi57 . In this study, we performed a physiological characterization and transcriptome profiling of doi57 in comparison to corresponding wild-type B73 under drought stress. Results Under drought stress, doi57 seedlings displayed lower leaf-surface temperature (LST), faster water loss, and better performance in growth than B73. Transcriptome analysis reveals that key genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis are enriched among differentially expressed genes in doi57 . In line with these results, more flavonols and less hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) were accumulated in guard cells of doi57 than in those of B73 with the decrease of soil water content (SWC). Moreover, the capacity determined from doi57 seedling extracts to scavenge oxygen free radicals was more effective than that of B73 under the drought treatment. Additionally, doi57 seedlings had higher photosynthetic rates, stomatal conductance, transpiration rates, and water use efficiency than B73 exposed to drought stress, resulting in high biomass and greater root/shoot ratios in doi57 mutant plants. Conclusion Flavonoids may facilitate maize seedling drought tolerance by lowering drought-induced oxidative damage as well regulating stomatal movement.

Smarcd1 Inhibits the Malignant Phenotypes of Human Glioblastoma Cells via Crosstalk with Notch1 - Yihao Zhu; Handong Wang; Maoxing Fei; Ting Tang; Wenhao Niu; Li Zhang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Smarcd1 is a component of an evolutionary conserved chromatin remodeling complex—SWI/SNF, which is involved in transcription factor recruitment, DNA replication, recombination, and repair. Suppression of the SWI/SNF complex required for cellular differentiation and gene regulation may be inducible for cell proliferation and tumorigenicity. However, the inhibitory role of Smarcd1 in human glioblastoma cells has not been well illustrated. Both U87 and U251 human glioblastoma cell lines were employed in the present study. The lentivirus-mediated gene knockdown and overexpression approach was conducted to determine the function of Smarcd1. The protein levels were tested by western blot, and the relative mRNA contents were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. Cell viability was tested by CCK-8 and colony-forming assay. Transwell assays were utilized to evaluate the motility and invasive ability. Flow cytometry was employed to analyze cell cycle and apoptosis. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. Low expression of Smarcd1 was observed in glioblastoma cell lines and in patients with high-grade glioma. Importantly, the depletion of Smarcd1 promoted cell proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance, whereas enhanced expression of Smarcd1 inhibited tumor-malignant phenotypes. Mechanistic research demonstrated that overexpression of Smarcd1 decreased the expression of Notch1, while knockdown of Notch1 increased the expression of Smarcd1 through Hes1 suppression. Hence, the crosstalk between Smarcd1 and Notch1, which formed a feedback loop, was crucial in regulation of glioblastoma malignant phenotypes. Furthermore, targeting Smarcd1 could be a potential strategy for human glioblastoma treatment.

Population-based meta-analysis of chloroquine: informing chloroquine pharmacokinetics in COVID-19 patients - Xueting Yao; Xiaoyu Yan; Xiaohan Wang; Ting Cai; Shun Zhang; Cheng Cui; Xiaoxu Wang; Zhe Hou; Qi Liu; Haiyan Li; Jing Lin; Zi Xiong; et al. (European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2021)
Aims Chloroquine (CQ) has been repurposed to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Understanding the pharmacokinetics (PK) in COVID-19 patients is essential to study its exposure–efficacy/safety relationship and provide a basis for a possible dosing regimen optimization. Subject and methods In this study, we used a population-based meta-analysis approach to develop a population PK model to characterize the CQ PK in COVID-19 patients. An open-label, single-center study (ethical review approval number: PJ-NBEY-KY-2020-063-01) was conducted to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of CQ in patients with COVID-19. The sparse PK data from 50 COVID-19 patients, receiving 500 mg CQ phosphate twice daily for 7 days, were combined with additional CQ PK data from 18 publications. Results A two-compartment model with first-order oral absorption and first-order elimination and an absorption lag best described the data. Absorption rate (ka) was estimated to be 0.559 h −1 , and a lag time of absorption (ALAG) was estimated to be 0.149 h. Apparent clearance (CL/F) and apparent central volume of distribution (V2/F) was 33.3 l/h and 3630 l. Apparent distribution clearance (Q/F) and volume of distribution of peripheral compartment (Q3/F) were 58.7 l/h and 5120 l. The simulated CQ concentration under five dosing regimens of CQ phosphate were within the safety margin (400 ng/ml). Conclusion Model-based simulation using PK parameters from the COVID-19 patients shows that the concentrations under the currently recommended dosing regimen are below the safety margin for side-effects, which suggests that these dosing regimens are generally safe. The derived population PK model should allow for the assessment of pharmacokinetics–pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) relationships for CQ when given alone or in combination with other agents to treat COVID-19.

Anxiolytic Effects of 8-O-Acetyl Shanzhiside Methylester on Acute and Chronic Anxiety via Inflammatory Response Inhibition and Excitatory/Inhibitory Transmission Imbalance - Ting Sun; Li Luo; Qin-Qin Tian; Wen-Ju Wang; Qing-Qing Liu; Le Yang; Kun Zhang; Wei Zhang; Ming-Gao Zhao; Qi Yang (Neurotoxicity Research, 2020)
Anxiety leads to a global decline in quality of life and increase in social burden. However, treatments are limited, because the molecular mechanisms underlying complex emotional disorders are poorly understood. We explored the anxiolytic effects of 8-O-acetyl shanzhiside methylester (8-OaS), an active component in Lamiophlomis rotata ( L . rotata ; Benth.) or Kudo, a traditional herb that has been shown to be effective in the clinical treatment of chronic pain syndromes in China. Two mouse anxiety models were used: forced swimming stress (FSS)–induced anxiety and complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)–induced chronic inflammatory pain. All animal behaviors were analyzed on the elevated plus maze and in the open-field test. 8-OaS significantly ameliorated anxiety-like behaviors in both anxiety models and inhibited the translation enhancement of GluN2A, GluN2B, and PSD95. Moreover, a reduction in GABA receptors disrupted the excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance in the basolateral amygdala (BLA), indicated by increased excitatory and decreased inhibitory presynaptic release. 8-OaS also blocked microglia activation and reduced the phosphorylation of p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), NF-κB p65, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the BLA of anxiety mice. 8-OaS exhibits obvious anxiolytic effects by regulating the excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) synaptic transmission and attenuating inflammatory responses in the BLA.

Genome-wide characterization and expression analysis of the auxin response factor (ARF) gene family during melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit development - Bei Wu; Lu Wang; Gaoyang Pan; Ting Li; Xin Li; Jinghong Hao (Protoplasma, 2020)
ARFs in plants mediate auxin signaling transduction and regulate growth process. To determine genome-wide characterization of ARFs family in melon ( Cucumis melo L.), ARFs were identified via analysis of information within the melon genomic database, and bioinformatic analyses were performed using various types of software. Based on different treatment methods involving dipping with the growth regulator Fengchanji No. 2 and artificial pollination, Jingmi No. 11 melon was used as the test material, and melon plants with unpollinated ovaries served as controls. The expression of ARF s during the early development of melon was analyzed via qRT-PCR. Seventeen genes that encode ARF proteins were identified in the melon genome for the first time. The expression of these ARF s differed in different tissues. The expression levels of CmARF2 , CmARF16-like , CmARF18-like2 , and CmARF19-like were especially high in melon fruits. The expression of ARF s during the early development of melon fruits differed in response to the different treatments, which suggested that CmARF9 , CmARF16-like , CmARF19-like , CmARF19 , CmARF1 , CmARF2 , CmARF3 , and CmARF5 may be associated with melon fruit growth during early development. Interestingly, the increase in the transverse diameter of fruits treated with growth regulators was significantly greater than that of fruits resulting from artificial pollination, while the increase in the longitudinal diameter of the fruits resulting from artificial pollination was significantly greater.

Design and Experiment of Clamper Used in Antarctic Subglacial Bedrock Drilling - Pavel Talalay; Xingchen Li; Da Gong; Xiaopeng Fan; Nan Zhang; Yang Yang; Yongwen Liu; Yunchen Liu; Ting Wang; Xiao Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
As a result of the severe natural environment with oxygen deficit in the Antarctic, using conventional manual work to screw and unscrew the drill pipe increases the labor intensity tremendously and causes an efficiency reduction. Therefore, it would be useful to design a clamper inside the drilling shelter, which could help to assemble and disassemble the ice core barrel with screw connection. This paper describes the design of and experiments with the clamper inside the movable drilling shelter. A related testing stand was also designed and built to experiment on relationships between the clamper motor current versus clamping torque and force. Through experimental data collation and calculation analysis, the following conclusions could be drawn: (1) according to the rotary ability of the Ice and Bedrock Electromechanical Drill (IBED) to calculate and determine the torque of clamper, the clamping torque required to provide by the clamper is 100 N·m; (2) finite element simulation and analysis of the non-standard transmission chain showed that the mechanical reliability of the subparts; (3) the experimental results showed the range of the clamping force and clamping torque of the clamper. The clamping force and clamping torque increased with the increase of clamper DC motor current, presenting proportional linear relationships. The clamper can meet the clamping requirements of IBED for screwing, unscrewing, and clamping, which will be greatly helpful when it is tested in the field.

The antitoxin MqsA homologue in Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 has a rewired regulatory circuit through evolution - Yong Wang; Si‐Ping Zhang; Meng‐Yuan Zhang; Megan L. Kempher; Ding‐Ding Guo; Jian‐Ting Han; Xuanyu Tao; Yi Wu; Li‐Qun Zhang; Yong‐Xing He (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The mqsRA operon encodes a toxin–antitoxin pair that was characterized to participate in biofilm and persister cell formation in Escherichia coli . Notably, the antitoxin MqsA possesses a C‐terminal DNA‐binding domain that recognizes the [5’‐AACCT(N) 2‐4 AGGTT‐3′] motif and acts as a transcriptional regulator controlling multiple genes including the general stress response regulator RpoS. However, it is unknown how the transcriptional circuits of MqsA homologues have changed in bacteria over evolutionary time. Here, we found mqsA in Pseudomonas fluorescens ( PfmqsA ) is acquired through horizontal gene transfer and binds to a slightly different motif [5′‐TACCCT(N) 3 AGGGTA‐3′], which exists upstream of the PfmqsRA operon. Interestingly, an adjacent GntR‐type transcriptional regulator, which was termed AgtR, is under negative control of PfMqsA. It was further demonstrated that PfMqsA reduces production of biofilm components through AgtR, which directly regulates the pga and fap operons involved in the synthesis of extracellular polymeric substances. Moreover, through quantitative proteomics analysis, we showed AgtR is a highly pleiotropic regulator that influences up to 252 genes related to diverse processes including chemotaxis, oxidative phosphorylation and carbon and nitrogen metabolism. Taken together, our findings suggest the rewired regulatory circuit of PfMqsA influences diverse physiological aspects of P. fluorescens 2P24 via the newly characterized AgtR.
