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.

Simulation and projection of climate extremes in China by multiple Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 models - Linxiao Wei; Xiaoge Xin; Qilin Li; Yao Wu; Hongyu Tang; Yonghua Li; Baogang Yang (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
This study evaluates the ability of 23 climate models from phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) in simulating extreme climate events over China. The multimodel ensemble (MME) performs better than most individual models in reproducing the climatological mean distribution of all extreme indices. The MME can reproduce well the climatological mean distributions of five extreme climate indices over China, including annual total precipitation (PTOT), maximum consecutive 5‐day precipitation (RX5), simple daily intensity (SDII), maximum daily maximum temperature (TXX), and minimum daily minimum temperature (TNN), with Taylor skill scores exceeding 0.7. SDII and TXX are the most skilful precipitation and temperature extreme indices simulated by the MME, respectively. The MME has relatively lower skill in simulating the climatological mean distribution of warm days (TX90P) and cold nights (TN10P) over China. Future projections of these extreme climate indices by the end of the 21st century are explored with the MME under the SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, and SSP5‐8.5 scenarios. The PTOT and RX5 in northwestern China are all projected to increase by more than 30% under SSP5‐8.5. R20 is projected to increase by 4–5 days over southeastern China under SSP5‐8.5. There are fewer (more) consecutive dry days over north China (south China), with a change of 5 days under SSP5‐8.5. The extreme temperature indices, including TX90P, TXX, and TNN, all increase with time and higher SSP scenarios. The three indices increase by 40–55%, 4–6°C, and 4–7°C under SSP5‐8.5 over east China, respectively. The TN10P decreases by more than 6% over east China. The changes in these extreme indices under SSP1‐2.6 and SSP2‐4.5 are similar to those under SSP5‐8.5 but with a smaller magnitude. Large uncertainties still exist in the future projections, especially under the high SSP scenarios.

Background To date, most countries worldwide have declared that the pandemic of COVID-19 is over, while the WHO has not officially ended the COVID-19 pandemic, and China still insists on the personalized dynamic COVID-free policy. Large-scale nucleic acid testing in Chinese communities and the manual interpretation for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection results pose a huge challenge for labour, quality and turnaround time (TAT) requirements. To solve this specific issue while increase the efficiency and accuracy of interpretation, we created an autoverification and guidance system (AGS) that can automatically interpret and report the COVID-19 reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results relaying on computer-based autoverification procedure and then validated its performance in real-world environments. This would be conductive to transmission risk prediction, COVID-19 prevention and control and timely medical treatment for positive patients in the context of the predictive, preventive and personalized medicine (PPPM). Methods A diagnostic accuracy test was conducted with 380,693 participants from two COVID-19 test sites in China, the Hong Kong Hybribio Medical Laboratory ( n = 266,035) and the mobile medical shelter at a Shanghai airport ( n = 114,658). These participants underwent SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR from March 28 to April 10, 2022. All RT-PCR results were interpreted by laboratorians and by using AGS simultaneously. Considering the manual interpretation as gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy were applied to evaluate the diagnostic value of the AGS on the interpretation of RT-PCR results. Results Among the 266,035 samples in Hong Kong, there were 16,356 (6.15%) positive, 231,073 (86.86%) negative, 18,606 (6.99%) indefinite, 231,073 (86.86%, negative) no retest required and 34,962 (13.14%, positive and indefinite) retest required; the 114,658 samples in Shanghai consisted of 76 (0.07%) positive, 109,956 (95.90%) negative, 4626 (4.03%) indefinite, 109,956 (95.90%, negative) no retest required and 4702 (4.10%, positive and indefinite) retest required. Compared to the fashioned manual interpretation, the AGS is a procedure of high accuracy [99.96% (95%CI, 99.95–99.97%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 100–100%) in Shanghai] with perfect sensitivity [99.98% (95%CI, 99.97–99.98%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 100–100%) in Shanghai], specificity [99.87% (95%CI, 99.82–99.90%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 99.92–100%) in Shanghai], PPV [99.98% (95%CI, 99.97–99.99%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 99.99–100%) in Shanghai] and NPV [99.85% (95%CI, 99.80–99.88%) in Hong Kong and 100% (95%CI, 99.90–100%) in Shanghai]. The need for manual interpretation of total samples was dramatically reduced from 100% to 13.1% and the interpretation time fell from 53 h to 26 min in Hong Kong; while the manual interpretation of total samples was decreased from 100% to 4.1% and the interpretation time dropped from 20 h to 16 min at Shanghai. Conclusions The AGS is a procedure of high accuracy and significantly relieves both labour and time from the challenge of large-scale screening of SARS-CoV-2 using RT-PCR. It should be recommended as a powerful screening, diagnostic and predictive system for SARS-CoV-2 to contribute timely the ending of the COVID-19 pandemic following the concept of PPPM.

A Method for Estimating the Injection Position of Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) Using Semantic Segmentation - Wei Luo; Chen Li; Kang Wu; Songming Zhu; Zhangying Ye; Jianping Li (Fishes, 2022)
Fish vaccination plays a vital role in the prevention of fish diseases. Inappropriate injection positions will cause a low immunization rate and even death. Currently, traditional visual algorithms have poor robustness and low accuracy due to the specificity of the placement of turbot fins in the application of automatic vaccination machines. To address this problem, we propose a new method for estimating the injection position of the turbot based on semantic segmentation. Many semantic segmentation networks were used to extract the background, fish body, pectoral fin, and caudal fin. In the subsequent step, the segmentations obtained from the best network were used for calculating body length (BL) and body width (BW). These parameters were employed for estimating the injection position. The proposed Atten-Deeplabv3+ achieved the best segmentation results for intersection over union (IoU) on the test set, with 99.3, 96.5, 85.8, and 91.7 percent for background, fish body, pectoral fin, and caudal fin, respectively. On this basis, the estimation error of the injection position was 0.2 mm–4.4 mm, which is almost within the allowable injection area. In conclusion, the devised method was able to correctly differentiate the fish body from the background and fins, meaning that the extracted area could be successfully used for the estimation of injection position.

Developing an international public health cooperation mechanism for the cruise industry - Wei Wu; Lu Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The cruise industry has suffered heavy setbacks owing to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Domestic and global pandemic control measures—involving rules varying across countries as well as distinct legal systems—were escalated. We aimed to illustrate the need to establish a public health cooperation mechanism for the cruise industry. First, we analyzed the legal dilemma pertaining to pandemic prevention and control in cooperative situations; namely, the legal loopholes in the prevention, control, and rescue of cruise ships. Second, we focused on international collaboration during cruise ship rescues amid the pandemic, exploring solutions for current industry problems. Third, by analyzing Chinese practices in cruise-related areas, this paper guides the development of a public health cooperation mechanism for the cruise industry. In sum, we call upon the international community to develop such a mechanism within the scope of international law in terms of public health security and pandemic prevention. Research methodology: This is a practical research paper. Per our analysis of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and International Health Regulations of the World Health Organization, we studied the global legal issues pertaining to cruise epidemic prevention and control by sorting out legal regulations. We conclude that an international cooperation mechanism for cruise epidemic prevention and control should be established to ensure the cruise industry’s sustainable development.

Preservation of soil organic carbon in coastal wetlands promoted by glomalin–iron–organic carbon ternary system - Bo Zhao; Yunlong Jia; Shengjie Wu; Lili Wei; Jian Li; Hualong Hong; Chongling Yan; Mark A. Williams; Qiang Wang (Limnology and Oceanography, 2022)
Iron‐bound soil organic carbon (Fe‐bound SOC) and microbial residues are vital for SOC preservation, a process crucial for drawdown of anthropogenic carbon. However, the relative importance of Fe‐bound SOC in coastal wetlands, and its interaction with microbial residues remain poorly understood. Here, we used glomalin as a proxy for microbial residues, with the goal of determining microbial residues binding to Fe and Fe‐bound SOC across a 1000 km coastline of China including seven typical mangrove wetlands. As hypothesized, it was found that the glomalin fraction was strongly associated with and likely bound to Fe‐bound SOC complexes, which accounted for 21.4% ± 1.6% of mangrove SOC. Mean level of Fe‐bound glomalin was 1.2 ± 0.1 mg cm −3 , accounting for 40.6% ± 1.5% of total glomalin and 35.4% ± 3.2% of Fe‐bound SOC in the top 10 cm mangrove soil layer at regional scale. Due to the growing realization that Fe may be a crucial factor of glomalin cycling, we performed multiple chemical characterization techniques to identify the association between Fe and glomalin. Our results suggested that association to Fe was a main stabilization mechanism of glomalin in soils, and glomalin served as organic ligands in the formation of Fe‐bound SOC. We also found that the bulk glomalin extracts were a glomalin–Fe–OC ternary complex, which constituted an important proportion of mangrove SOC. These findings highlight the important effect of glomalin bound to Fe as a major mechanism of SOC persistence in coastal wetlands.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Potential Gene Modules Associated with Cold Tolerance in Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) - Xing Huang; Yongsheng Liang; Baoqing Zhang; Xiupeng Song; Yangrui Li; Changning Li; Zhengqiang Qin; Dewei Li; Jiguang Wei; Jianming Wu (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2022)
Sugarcane is an important crop worldwide, and most sugar is derived directly from sugarcane. Due to its thermophilic nature, the yield of sugarcane is largely influenced by extreme climate conditions, especially cold stress. Therefore, the development of sugarcane with improved cold tolerance is an important goal. However, little is known about the multiple mechanisms underlying cold acclimation at the bud stage in sugarcane. In this study, we emphasized that sensitivity to cold stress was higher for the sugarcane variety ROC22 than for GT42, as determined by physical signs, including bud growth capacity, relative conductivity, malonaldehyde contents, and soluble sugar contents. To understand the factors contributing to the difference in cold tolerance between ROC22 and GT42, comparative transcriptome analyses were performed. We found that genes involved in the regulation of the stability of the membrane system were the relative determinants of difference in cold tolerance. Additionally, genes related to protein kinase activity, starch metabolism, and calcium signal transduction were associated with cold tolerance. Finally, 25 candidate genes, including 23 variety-specific and 2 common genes, and 7 transcription factors were screened out for understanding the possible cold resistance mechanism. The findings of this study provide candidate gene resources for cold resistance and will improve our understanding of the regulation of cold tolerance at the bud stage in sugarcane.

Reduced Hypoxia Tolerance and Altered Gill Morphology at Elevated Temperatures May Limit the Survival of Tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) under Global Warming - Yan Zhou; Yanjie Zhang; Shang Wei; Wei Li; Wenhao Li; Zhichao Wu; Shouwen Jiang; Ying Lu; Qianghua Xu; Liangbiao Chen (Fishes, 2022)
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the most important food fishes in global aquaculture. The optimal rearing temperature for Nile tilapia is 27–30 °C; however, in some Asian breeding areas, such as south China, water temperatures in summer frequently exceed 35 °C for several days. Potential effects of long-term exposure to high temperatures on the survival and metabolism of tilapia are unclear. In this study, genetically improved farmed tilapia, age six weeks, were exposed to water temperatures of 28, 32, and 36 °C for 15 weeks. Mean survival rates and tolerance to hypoxia were significantly reduced, and respiratory rates were increased in fish reared at 36 °C, compared to the 28 and 32 °C treatments (p

Analysis of gene expression changes in wheat in response to Rhizoctonia cerealis infection using RNA-Seq - Xujiang Wu; Junchan Wang; Lei Li; Xiao Zhang; Wei Jiang; Man Li; Derong Gao; Boqiao Zhang; Chengbin Lu (Journal of Plant Pathology, 2022)
Bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely grown crop in the world. Rhizoctonia cerealis , the causal agent of wheat sharp eyespot disease, has 21 become epidemic in many countries. In the present study, we performed transcriptome analysis in wheat infected by R. cerealis at 0, 12, 30, 70, and 98 h post-infection using R. cerealis -resistant and -susceptible genotypes (CI12633 and ‘Yangmai15’, respectively). We used quantitative real-time PCR to validate the Illumina gene expression data, and identified new gene annotations for 23,654 unigenes in the RNA samples from the resistant and susceptible cultivars. Comparing the same inoculation times, we found that the number of DEGs (differentially-expressed genes) increased gradually before 70 h and declined at 98 h in the two RNA samples. Furthermore, the expression of resistance-associated genes occurred earlier in CI12633 than in ‘Yangmai15’, and higher mRNA expression levels were detected in CI12633; this suggests that timing and relative expression levels of these genes are important in the CI12633- R. cerealis interaction. Functional annotations associated with sharp eyespot resistance included genes involved in energy production and conversion, posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport and catabolism, and defense mechanisms. The results of pathway enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs participate in glutathione metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, lysine degradation, plant-pathogen interaction, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and other resistance-associated metabolic pathways. Disease inoculation experiments and the validation of in vitro antifungal activity of the candidate genes showed that the genes were up- or down-regulated in the resistant genotype CI12633 30 h after inoculation compared to its control, which validated the results of the RNA-seq analysis. The results of our study will help to understand the molecular basis of the host response to R. cerealis infection in wheat, and will also enable the future genetic improvement of sharp eyespot resistance in wheat through the incorporation of novel resistance genes.

Phyllosphere fungal communities of rubber trees exhibited biogeographical patterns, but not bacteria - Yaqing Wei; Guoyu Lan; Zhixiang Wu; Bangqian Chen; Fei Quan; Mingmei Li; Shuqing Sun; Haonan Du (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Phyllosphere microbiomes play an essential role in maintaining host health and productivity. Still, the diversity patterns and the drivers for the phyllosphere microbial community of the tropical cash crop Rubber tree ( Hevea brasiliensis ) – are poorly understood. We sampled the phyllosphere of field‐grown rubber trees in South China. We examined the phyllosphere bacterial and fungal composition, diversity and main drivers of these microbes using the Illumina® sequencing and assembly. Fungal communities were distinctly different in different climatic regions (i.e. Xishuangbanna and Hainan Island) and climatic factors, especially mean annual temperature, and they were the main driving factors of foliar fungal communities, indicating fungal communities showed a geographical pattern. Significant differences of phyllosphere bacterial communities were detected in different habitats (i.e. endophytic and epiphytic). Most of the differences in taxa composition came from Firmicutes spp., which have been assigned as nitrogen‐fixing bacteria. Since these bacteria cannot penetrate the cuticle like fungi, the abundant epiphytic Firmicutes spp. may supplement the deficiency of nitrogen acquisition. And the main factor influencing endophytic bacteria were internal factors, such as total nitrogen, total phosphorus and water content of leaves. External factors (i.e. climate) were the main driving force for epiphytic bacteria community assembly. Our work provides empirical evidence that the assembly of phyllosphere bacterial and fungal differed, which creates a precedent for preventing and controlling rubber tree diseases and pests and rubber tree yield improvement.

Improving protected area effectiveness through consideration of different human‐pressure baselines - Chun‐Ting Feng; Ming Cao; Fang‐Zheng Liu; Yue Zhou; Jin‐Hong Du; Li‐Bo Zhang; Wen‐Jie Huang; Jian‐Wu Luo; Jun‐Sheng Li; Wei Wang (Conservation Biology, 2022)
Previous assessments of the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) focused primarily on changes in human pressure over time and did not consider the different human‐pressure baselines of PAs, thereby potentially over‐ or underestimating PA effectiveness. We developed a framework that considers both human‐pressure baseline and change in human pressure over time and assessed the effectiveness of 338 PAs in China from 2010 to 2020. The initial state of human pressure on PAs was taken as the baseline, and changes in human pressure index (HPI) were further analyzed under different baselines. We used the random forest models to identify the management measures that most improved effectiveness in resisting human pressure for the PAs with different baselines. Finally, the relationships between the changes in the HPI and the changes in natural ecosystems in PAs were analyzed with different baselines. Of PAs with low HPI baselines, medium HPI baselines, and high HPI baselines, 76.92% ( n =150), 11.11% ( n =12), and 22.86% ( n =8) , respectively, showed positive effects in resisting human pressure. Overall, ignoring human‐pressure baselines somewhat underestimated the positive effects of PAs, especially for those with low initial human pressure. For PAs with different initial human pressures, different management measures should be taken to improve effectiveness and reduce threats to natural ecosystems. We believe our framework is useful for assessing the effectiveness of PAs globally, and we recommend it be included in the Convention on Biological Diversity Post‐2020 Strategy.

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

Low soil phosphorus (P) bioavailability causes the widespread occurrence of P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems around the globe. Exploring the factors influencing soil P bioavailability at large spatial scales is critical for managing these ecosystems. However, previous studies have mostly focused on abiotic factors. In this study, we explored the effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability of terrestrial ecosystems using a country‐scale sampling effort. Our results showed that soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and acid phosphatase were important predictors of soil P bioavailability of agro‐ and natural ecosystems across China although they appeared less important than total soil P. The two microbial factors had a positive effect on soil P bioavailability of both ecosystem types and were able to mediate the effects of several abiotic factors (e.g., mean annual temperature). Meanwhile, we revealed that soil phytase could affect soil P bioavailability at the country scale via ways similar to those of soil MBC and acid phosphatase, a pattern being more pronounced in agroecosystems than in natural ecosystems. Moreover, we obtained evidence for the positive effects of microbial genes encoding these enzymes on soil P bioavailability at the country scale although their effect sizes varied between the two ecosystem types. Taken together, this study demonstrated the remarkable effects of microbial factors on soil P bioavailability at a large spatial scale, highlighting the importance to consider microbial factors in managing the widespread P‐limited terrestrial ecosystems.

Basin‐scale approach needed for Yangtze River fisheries restoration - Binsong Jin; Kirk O. Winemiller; Wenwei Ren; Dave Tickner; Xiaohua Wei; Li Guo; Qin Li; Hui Zhang; Paulo Santos Pompeu; Marc Goichot; Sikai Wang; Ruichang Shen; et al. (Fish and Fisheries, 2022)
The Yangtze River contains the highest fish diversity and most important inland fishery resources in China, but its biota and ecosystem services face an uncertain future. The river and its basin have undergone vast changes from centuries of human impacts, and fish stocks are in a particularly dire situation. A complete 10‐year moratorium on commercial fishing within the entire Yangtze River was implemented starting in January 2021. By itself, the ban on fishing will unlikely guarantee full recovery. We conclude that multiple human impacts to the basin and its fish stocks require multidisciplinary strategies implemented at the whole basin scale for effective conservation.

GLP-1R Agonist Exendin-4 Protects Against Hemorrhagic Transformation Induced by rtPA After Ischemic Stroke via the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway - Chengli Liu; Shanshan Sun; Jie Xie; Hui Li; Tianyu Li; Qiqi Wu; Yongsheng Zhang; Xiangjun Bai; Jian Wang; Xin Wang; Zhanfei Li; Wei Wang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is recommended by the FDA to dissolve intravascular clots after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, it may contribute to hemorrhagic transformation (HT). The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating the blood–brain barrier (BBB) formation in the central nervous system. We explored whether glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist exendin-4 (EX-4) reduces the risk of HT after rtPA treatment via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by using a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in vivo and an oxygen–glucose deprivation plus reoxygenation (OGD/R) model in vitro. Our results showed that EX-4 attenuated neurological deficits, brain edema, infarct volume, BBB disruption, and rtPA-induced HT in ischemic stroke. EX-4 suppressed the production of ROS and the activation of MMP-9 to protect the integrity of the BBB by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. PRI-724, a selective inhibitor of β-catenin, was able to reverse the therapeutic effect of EX-4 in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, our results indicate that the GLP-1R agonist may be a potential therapeutic agent to decrease the risk of rtPA-induced HT after ischemic stroke via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

The Characteristics and Expression Profile of Peptidoglycan Recognition Protein 2 in the Accessory Nidamental Gland of the Bigfin Reef Squid During Bacterial Colonization - Hau-Wen Li; Wei-Lun Kuo; Chi Chen; Yung-Che Tseng; Ching-Fong Chang; Guan-Chung Wu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Some cephalopods carry microorganisms in two specialized organs, the light organ and the accessory nidamental gland (ANG). For the light organ, comprehensive mechanisms have been described for winnowing (bacterial selection) and maintenance of the symbiotic luminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri ( V. fischeri ). However, the mechanisms controlling bacterial selection and maintenance during bacterial colonization of the ANG are open biological issues with physiological significance. Our recent study on bigfin reef squid ( Sepioteuthis lessoniana ) already showed that the ANG bacterial community shifts gradually and exhibits decreased diversity throughout maturation. This study further describes a potential role of an innate immunity-involved molecule, peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs), in the ANG of bigfin reef squid during bacterial transmission and colonization. First, we found that four homologs of the PGRP family are expressed in the ANG of bigfin reef squid ( sl PGRP2-5), but only slPgrp2 transcript levels are highly correlated with ANG development and bacterial colonization. Besides, slPgrp2 transcripts are mainly expressed in the epithelial cells of certain secondary tubules of ANG, and the expression levels are varied in the epithelial cells of other secondary tubules. This data reveals that slPgrp2 transcripts may associate with the composition of bacterial consortium and its secretary factors. Moreover, recombinant sl PGRP2 had a negative effect of Escherichia coli ( E.coli ) which inhibited bacterial growth in culture. Therefore, our data suggest slPgrp2 expression in the epithelial cells of secondary tubules in the ANG may have an essential role in the winnowing and maintenance of holobiont homeostasis in bigfin reef squid.

An Energy-Saving Position Control Strategy for Deep-Sea Valve-Controlled Hydraulic Cylinder Systems - Jia-Bin Wu; Li Li; Yong-Kang Yan; Pin-Jian Wang; Wei Wei (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The valve-controlled hydraulic cylinder system (VCHCS) is commonly utilized in the underwater manipulator, which is the most important tool for subsea tasks. Hydraulic oil viscosity is very sensitive to pressure. Therefore, when working at different depths under different ambient pressures in the sea, the hydraulic oil viscosity and the pipeline pressure loss in the deep-sea VCHCS vary greatly, which seriously affects the energy efficiency of the system. In addition, the control accuracy of the deep-sea VCHCS is also influenced by changes in the hydraulic oil viscosity and the pipeline pressure loss. In order to realize energy-saving control, this research introduces a proportional relief valve and develops a variable pump pressure control strategy. At the same time, a variable gain proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm is designed to achieve precise control. A co-simulation model of the deep-sea VCHCS is then established, and many simulation analyses are carried out. Compared with traditional PID control with a constant pump pressure, the proposed method presents advantages such as lower energy consumption, better control accuracy, better resistance to load impact, and accuracy consistency under different working depths. Among them, when working at 11 km depth in the sea, the proposed method is capable of saving energy by 36.5% for the multi-step movement, by 30% for the harmonic movement, and by 47% for the complex movement. The present work in this research provides a solution that can realize energy saving and precise control of the deep-sea VCHCS at the same time in the wide span of depth in the sea.

Hypothermal Effects on Energy Supply for Ionocytes in Gills of Freshwater- and Seawater-Acclimated Milkfish, Chanos chanos - Chia-Hao Chang; Chia-Jui Liu; Wei-Jie Lu; Li-Yang Wu; Kuang-Jie Lai; Yu-Ting Lin; Tsung-Han Lee (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The milkfish, Chanos chanos , is an important aquaculture species that can be cultured in freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) ponds because of its high euryhalinity. In winter, cold snap leading to high mortality of this tropical species is a critical issue for the aquaculture industry in Taiwan. Under hypothermal stress, however, changes in energy supply for osmoregulation of this euryhaline species is intriguing. In this study, we used an antibody against glycogen phosphorylase (GP) to identify glycogen-rich (GR) cells distributed adjacent to the mitochondria-rich (MR) ionocytes in milkfish gills. Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), which plays a major role in energy supply, was also identified and localized in GR cells. Moreover, the expression of indicators of aerobic metabolism and energy production, citrate synthase (CS) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX), were analyzed in gills of FW- and SW-acclimated milkfish to reveal different strategies of energy utilization under hypothermal stress. When exposed to a low-temperature environment, SW individuals used branchial glycogen and lactate to match the energy demands of aerobic metabolism in ionocytes, and elevated aerobic capacity to support and maintain normal functions in gills. However, branchial glycogen mainly localized in the GR cells of FW milkfish was not utilized under hypothermal stress. Meanwhile, a similar level of branchial COX activity and COXIV protein abundance at low temperatures between FW and SW milkfish indicated similar energy requirements in gills. This suggested that another source, but not branchial glycogen, maintained the energy demand in FW milkfish. The present study illustrated differential energy supply strategies in gills between SW- and FW-acclimated milkfish for osmoregulation under low temperatures.

Working Performance of the Deep-Sea Valve-Controlled Hydraulic Cylinder System under Pressure-Dependent Viscosity Change and Hydrodynamic Effects - Jia-Bin Wu; Li Li; Xing-Long Zou; Pin-Jian Wang; Wei Wei (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The valve-controlled hydraulic cylinder system (VCHCS) is commonly used for actuators such as manipulators in deep-sea equipment, whose working performance is crucial to subsea tasks. Affected by the ambient pressure introduced by the pressure compensator, the viscosity of the hydraulic oil increases significantly. On this basis, the viscosity changes further when flowing in the slender pipeline, making the pipeline pressure loss substantially increase and subsequently affecting the working performance of the deep-sea VCHCS. Aiming at this issue, a detailed nonlinear mathematical model of the deep-sea VCHCS is established, in which the viscosity-pressure characteristics of the hydraulic oil is considered to take the viscosity changes in the pipeline into account. Besides, the hydrodynamic effects are also included in the model. Then the corresponding numerical simulation model of the deep-sea VCHCS is established, and its working performance at different depths is simulated and analyzed. When the depth is 11km, the extension and retraction movements are delayed by 52.50% and 43.12% respectively. The root cause of the delay is then analyzed and discussed. Finally, the parameters that affect the working performance are studied, and suggestions to reduce or eliminate the delay phenomenon are given. The results can provide theoretical support for the performance optimization of the deep-sea VCHCS.

Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport‐0 ( ESCRT ‐0) are essential for fungal development, pathogenicity, autophagy and ER ‐phagy in Magnaporthe oryzae - Li‐Xiao Sun; Hui Qian; Meng‐Yu Liu; Ming‐Hua Wu; Yun‐Yun Wei; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Jian‐Ping Lu; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Magnaporthe oryzae is an important plant pathogen that causes rice blast. Hse1 and Vps27 are components of ESCRT‐0 involved in the multivesicular body (MVB) sorting pathway and biogenesis. To date, the biological functions of ESCRT‐0 in M. oryzae have not been determined. In this study, we identified and characterized Hse1 and Vps27 in M. oryzae . Disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 caused pleiotropic defects in growth, conidiation, sexual development and pathogenicity, thereby resulting in loss of virulence in rice and barley leaves. Disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 triggered increased lipidation of MoAtg8 and degradation of GFP‐MoAtg8, indicating that ESCRT‐0 is involved in the regulation of autophagy. ESCRT‐0 was determined to interact with coat protein complex II (COPII), a regulator functioning in homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER homeostasis), and disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 also blocked activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER‐phagy). Overall, our results indicate that ESCRT‐0 plays critical roles in regulating fungal development, virulence, autophagy and ER‐phagy in M. oryzae .

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has had a major impact on global human health. During the spread of SARS-CoV-2, weakened host immunity and the use of vaccines with low efficacy may result in the development of more-virulent strains or strains with resistance to existing vaccines and antibodies. The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 mutant strains differs between regions, and this variation may have an impact on the effectiveness of vaccines. In this study, an epidemiological investigation of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal was performed, and the VSV-ΔG-G* pseudovirus system was used to construct 12 spike protein epidemic mutants, D614G, A222V+D614G, B.1.1.7, S477N+D614G, P1162R+D614G+A222V, D839Y+D614G, L176F+D614G, B.1.1.7+L216F, B.1.1.7+M740V, B.1.258, B.1.258+L1063F, and B.1.258+N751Y. The mutant pseudoviruses were used to infect four susceptible cell lines (Huh7, hACE2-293T-293T, Vero, and LLC-MK2) and 14 cell lines overexpressing ACE2 from different species. Mutant strains did not show increased infectivity or cross-species transmission. Neutralization activity against these pseudoviruses was evaluated using mouse serum and 11 monoclonal antibodies. The neutralizing activity of immunized mouse serum was not significantly reduced with the mutant strains, but the mutant strains from Portugal could evade nine of the 11 monoclonal antibodies tested. Neutralization resistance was mainly caused by the mutations S477N, N439K, and N501Y in the spike-receptor binding domain. These findings emphasize the importance of SARS-CoV-2 mutation tracking in different regions for epidemic prevention and control.
