PLXDC2 enhances invadopodium formation to promote invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer cells via interacting with PTP1B - Bin Wu; Yan-xia Wang; Jun-jie Wang; Dong-fang Xiang; Meng-si Zhang; Ze-xuan Yan; Wen-ying Wang; Jing-ya Miao; Xi Lan; Jia-jia Liu; Zheng-yan Li; Chuan Li; et al. (Clinical & Experimental Metastasis, 2022)
Plexin-domain containing 2 (PLXDC2) has been reported as an oncoprotein in several human malignancies. However, its expression and roles in gastric cancer remain largely unclear. In this study, we found that PLXDC2 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, and the expression levels were positively correlated with clinicopathological features, but negatively with the patients’ outcome. Cox regression analysis identified PLXDC2 as an independent prognostic indicator for the patients. Knockdown of PLXDC2 markedly suppressed the in vitro invasion and in vivo metastasis of gastric cancer cells, while overexpression of PLXDC2 resulted in opposite effects. Mechanistically, PLXDC2 enhanced the level of phosphorylated Cortactin (p-Cortactin) by physically interacting with protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), an important dephosphorylase, to prevent its dephosphorylating of p-Cortactin, thereby promoting the formation of invadopodia. Collectively, our results indicate that PLXDC2 contributes to the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer by inhibiting PTP1B to facilitate the invadopodium formation, and may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for this disease.

Polystyrene microplastics alter bioaccumulation, and physiological and histopathological toxicities of cadmium in the polychaete Perinereis aibuhitensis - Yi Cong; Yadi Lou; Huan Zhao; Zhaochuan Li; Mingxing Zhang; Fei Jin; Ying Wang; Juying Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Heavy metal (HM) pollution in the marine environment has been of concern for decades. The potential impact of HMs carried by emerging marine pollutants such as microplastics (MPs) has attracted attention only in recent years. In this study, we investigated the single and combined chronic toxic effects (growth, burrowing behavior, and histopathology) of cadmium (Cd, three concentrations of low, medium, and high) and polystyrene (PS) microspheres (1 μm, 10 μg/L) on the coastal polychaete Perinereis aibuhitensis . Cd bioaccumulation under two exposure scenarios was also explored. Our results showed that Cd and PS did not affect worm growth for single or combined exposure, while 13.08 μg/L of Cd (Cd L ) alone significantly decreased the burrowing time of P. aibuhitensis in sediment. The presence of PS mitigated the hormetic effect of Cd on worm burrowing behavior, and this influence was Cd concentration-related. Cd body burdens in worms exposed to the medium and high Cd concentrations (Cd M and Cd H ) were significantly greater than those of control worms with or without the presence of PS. In addition, Cd bioaccumulation was significantly higher with the coexistence of PS than those of Cd alone at the Cd L and Cd M groups. Histopathological analyses demonstrated a trend of epidermal and intestinal damages for single Cd/PS and their combined groups, and the contribution of PS-MPs should not be ignored. Our results indicate that the toxic effects and bioaccumulation pattern of Cd could be altered with the presence of PS-MPs for P. aibuhitensis , especially at environmentally relevant concentrations.

Influence of Corrosion Damage on Fatigue Limit Capacities of Offshore Wind Turbine Substructure - Ying Li; Yu Zhang; Wenhua Wang; Xin Li; Bin Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The decrease in structural capacities under the limit states caused by structural corrosion is a potential hazard for the safety of offshore structures. Considering the influence of corrosion factors, a fatigue analysis of the typical tubular joints of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) substructure under operation and wave loads during the service period was performed. The structural corrosion was equivalent to a two-parameter Weibull distribution in the analysis. According to the Miner linear fatigue accumulation criterion, the accumulated fatigue damage of three different typical tubular joints in the initial stage and at operation periods of 10, 20, and 30 years was calculated. The most critical tubular joint of the studied OWT substructure is located at the connection between the pile foundations and braces. Owing to the increase in structural corrosion during the operation period, a remarkable decrease in the tubular joint fatigue capacities under the operation and wave loads was observed.

Nile tilapia TRIM39 recruits I3K413 and I3KL45 as adaptors and is involved in the NF‐κB pathway - Feng‐ying Gao; Xin Zhou; Mai‐xin Lu; Miao Wang; Zhi‐gang Liu; Jiang‐meng Cao; Xiao‐li Ke; Meng‐meng Yi (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins play a regulatory function in cancer, cell apoptosis and innate immunity. To understand the role of TRIM39 in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), TRIM39 cDNA was isolated. The total length of TRIM39 cDNA was 5025 bp. The deduced OnTRIM39 protein contains 549 amino acids and has conserved domains of the TRIM family, which are the RING, B‐box, coiled‐coil and PRY‐SPRY domains. OnTRIM39 mRNA was widely expressed in various tissues. After challenge with Streptococcus agalactiae and stimulation with polyinosinic polycytidylic acid [poly (I:C)] and lipopolysaccharides (LPS), the amount of OnTRIM39 transcript was changed in various tested tissues. OnTRIM39 overexpression increased NF‐κB activity. OnTRIM39 was present in the cytoplasm. Mass spectrometry of proteins pulled down with recombinant OnTRIM39 showed that 250 proteins potentially interact with OnTRIM39. The authors selected I3K4I3 from the 250 candidate proteins to verify its interaction with TRIM39. They also selected I3KL45, a member of the same 14‐3‐3 protein family, to verify its interaction with TRIM39. The results of pull‐down assays showed that OnTRIM39 interacted with both I3K413 and I3KL45. These results contribute to further study of the innate immune mechanism of tilapia.

Sporosarcina aquimarina MS4 Regulates the Digestive Enzyme Activities, Body Wall Nutrients, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites of Apostichopus japonicus - Hong Yi; Qinglu Bai; Ying Li; Honglei Zhan; Yujia Liu; Bingnan Liu; Jihui Wang (Fishes, 2022)
Sporosarcina aquimarina MS4 is a microecological preparation for overwintering Apostichopus japonicus, which has an immune regulation function, but its role in the nutritional regulation of A. japonicus is not clear. This study aimed to describe the effects of S. aquimarina MS4 on the growth, digestion, and body wall nutrition of A. japonicus through feeding experiments and to discuss the potential mechanism of S. aquimarina MS4 regulating gut function through the detection of gut microbiota and metabolites. After 60 days of culture, the growth performance of A. japonicus fed S. aquimarina MS4 (108 cfu/g) significantly improved, and the content of polysaccharide, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine, and docosahexaenoic acid in the body wall significantly increased. Gut microbiota analysis showed that although Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were the predominant phyla in all the sea cucumbers, Haloferula and Rubritalea showed significant difference between the group fed with or without S. aquimarina MS4. Metabolomics analysis showed that differential metabolites in the gut were mainly enriched in amino acid metabolism and lipid metabolism. The association analysis of differential metabolites and microbiota showed that the production of some differential metabolites was significantly related to differential microorganisms, which improved the understanding of the function of microorganisms and their roles in the gut of A. japonicus. This study reveals the life activities such as growth and metabolism of A. japonicus, and it provides support for the functional study of the gut microbiome of A. japonicus.

Natural component plumbagin as a potential antibacterial agent against Streptococcus agalactiae infection - Ai‐Guo Huang; Lin‐Jun Su; Wei‐Hao He; Fa‐Li Zhang; Chao‐Shuai Wei; Ying‐Hui Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Streptococcus agalactiae , also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), can infect humans, terrestrial animals and fish. The emergence of bacterial resistance of S. agalactiae to antibiotics leads to an urgent need of exploration of new antimicrobial agents. In the study, the antibacterial activity of natural component plumbagin (PLB) against S. agalactiae was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PLB against S. agalactiae was 8 mg/L. The growth curve assay revealed that PLB could inhibit the growth of S. agalactiae . In addition, the time‐killing curve showed that S. agalactiae was killed almost completely by 2‐fold MIC of PLB within 12 h. Transmission electron microscopy results showed obvious severe morphological destruction and abnormal cells of S. agalactiae after treated with PLB. The pathogenicity of S. agalactiae to zebrafish was significantly decreased after preincubation with PLB for 2 h in vitro, further indicating the bactericidal activity of PLB. Interestingly, PLB could kill S. agalactiae without inducing resistance development. Furthermore, pretreatment and post‐treatment assays suggested that PLB also exhibited the antibacterial activity against S. agalactiae infection in vivo by effectively reducing the bacterial load and improving the survival rate of S. agalactiae ‐infected zebrafish. In summary, PLB had potent antibacterial activity against S. agalactiae in vitro and in vivo, and it could be an excellent antimicrobial candidate to prevent and control S. agalactiae infection.

Mycorrhizal fungi alleviate acidification‐induced phosphorus limitation: Evidence from a decade‐long field experiment of simulated acid deposition in a tropical forest in south China - Yuanliu Hu; Ji Chen; Dafeng Hui; Ying‐Ping Wang; Jianling Li; Jingwen Chen; Guoyin Chen; Yiren Zhu; Leiyi Zhang; Deqiang Zhang; Qi Deng (Global Change Biology, 2022)
South China has been experiencing very high rate of acid deposition and severe soil acidification in recent decades, which has been proposed to exacerbate the regional ecosystem phosphorus (P) limitation. We conducted a 10‐year field experiment of simulated acid deposition to examine how acidification impacts seasonal changes of different soil P fractions in a tropical forest with highly acidic soils in south China. As expected, acid addition significantly increased occluded P pool but reduced the other more labile P pools in the dry season. In the wet season, however, acid addition did not change microbial P, soluble P and labile organic P pools. Acid addition significantly increased exchangeable Al 3+ and Fe 3+ and the activation of Fe oxides in both seasons. Different from the decline of microbial abundance in the dry season, acid addition increased ectomycorrhizal fungi and its ratio to arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi in the wet season, which significantly stimulated phosphomonoesterase activities and likely promoted the dissolution of occluded P. Our results suggest that, even in already highly acidic soils, the acidification‐induced P limitation could be alleviated by stimulating ectomycorrhizal fungi and phosphomonoesterase activities. The differential responses and microbial controls of seasonal soil P transformation revealed here should be implemented into ecosystem biogeochemical model for predicting plant productivity under future acid deposition scenarios.

Exogenous artificial DNA forms chromatin structure with active transcription in yeast - Jianting Zhou; Chao Zhang; Ran Wei; Mingzhe Han; Songduo Wang; Kaiguang Yang; Lihua Zhang; Weigang Chen; Mingzhang Wen; Cheng Li; Wei Tao; Ying-Jin Yuan (Science China Life Sciences, 2022)
Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) are important tools for sequencing, gene cloning, and transferring large quantities of genetic information. However, the structure and activity of YAC chromatin, as well as the unintended impacts of introducing foreign DNA sequences on DNA-associated biochemical events, have not been widely explored. Here, we showed that abundant genetic elements like TATA box and transcription factor-binding motifs occurred unintentionally in a previously reported data-carrying chromosome (dChr). In addition, we used state-of-the-art sequencing technologies to comprehensively profile the genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional, and proteomic characteristics of the exogenous dChr. We found that the data-carrying DNA formed active chromatin with high chromatin accessibility and H3K4 tri-methylation levels. The dChr also displayed highly pervasive transcriptional ability and transcribed hundreds of noncoding RNAs. The results demonstrated that exogenous artificial chromosomes formed chromatin structures and did not remain as naked or loose plasmids. A better understanding of the YAC chromatin nature will improve our ability to design better data-storage chromosomes.

Association between congenital heart defects and maternal manganese and iron concentrations: a case–control study in China - Meixian Wang; Yan Tian; Ping Yu; Nana Li; Ying Deng; Lu Li; Hong Kang; Dapeng Chen; Hui Wang; Zhen Liu; Juan Liang (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
To investigate the correlation between maternal manganese and iron concentrations and the risk of CHD among their infant. A multi-center hospital-based case control study was conducted in China. There were 322 cases and 333 controls have been selected from pregnant women who received prenatal examinations. Correlations between CHDs and maternal manganese and iron concentrations were estimated by conditional logistic regression. Moreover, the interaction between manganese and iron on CHDs was analyzed. Compared with the controls, mothers whose hair manganese concentration was 3.01 μg/g or more were more likely to have a child with CHD than those with a lower concentration. The adjusted OR was 2.68 (95%CI = 1.44–4.99). The results suggested that mothers whose iron content was 52.95 μg/g or more had a significantly higher risk of having a child with CHD ( aOR = 2.87, 95%CI = 1.54–5.37). No interaction between maternal manganese and iron concentrations was observed in the multiplicative or additive model. The concurrently existing high concentration of manganese and iron may bring higher risk of CHD ( OR = 7.02). Women with excessive manganese concentrations have a significantly increased risk of having offspring with CHDs. The high maternal iron status also correlates with CHDs. The concurrently existing high concentration of manganese and iron may bring higher risk of CHD.

Root-associated microbiota drive phytoremediation strategies to lead of Sonchus Asper (L.) Hill as revealed by intercropping-induced modifications of the rhizosphere microbiome - Xinyue Mei; Ying Wang; Zuran Li; Marie Larousse; Arthur Pere; Martine da Rocha; Fangdong Zhan; Yongmei He; Linlong Pu; Franck Panabières; Yanqun Zu (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Intercropping or assistant endophytes promote phytoremediation capacities of hyperaccumulators and enhance their tolerance to heavy metal (HM) stress. Findings from a previous study showed that intercropping the hyperaccumulator Sonchus asper (L.) Hill grown in HM-contaminated soils with maize improved the remediating properties and indicated an excluder-to-hyperaccumulator switched mode of action towards lead. In the current study, RNA-Seq analysis was conducted on Sonchus roots grown under intercropping or monoculture systems to explore the molecular events underlying this shift in lead sequestering strategy. The findings showed that intercropping only slightly affects S. asper transcriptome but significantly affects expression of root-associated microbial genomes. Further, intercropping triggers significant reshaping of endophytic communities associated with a ‘root-to-shoot’ transition of lead sequestration and improved phytoremediation capacities of S. asper . These findings indicate that accumulator activities of a weed are partially attributed to the root-associated microbiota, and a complex network of plant–microbe-plant interactions shapes the phytoremediation potential of S. asper . Analysis showed that intercropping may significantly change the structure of root-associated communities resulting in novel remediation properties, thus providing a basis for improving phytoremediation practices to restore contaminated soils.

Future changes in the meteorological potential for winter haze over Beijing during periods of peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality in China projected by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 models - Jing Wang; Yanju Liu; Yihui Ding; Yang Yang; Ying Xu; Qiaoping Li; Yingxian Zhang; Meng Gao; Jianbo Yang; Qingyuan Wu; Chunhui Li; Mingcai Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Hazy conditions have a significant impact on the environment and societal development. Their occurrence and persistence depend largely on climatological conditions, including the important role of climate change. Based on monthly data from 15 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models under three Tier 1 scenarios (SSP1–2.6, SSP2–4.5, and SSP5–8.5), the meteorological potential for winter haze pollution over Beijing was assessed during periods of peak carbon emissions (P CP ; 2021–2030) and carbon neutrality (approximate net‐zero emissions) (P CN ; 2051–2060) in China. The results show that a possible high‐emission strategy during P CP may not obviously enhance winter hazy conditions over Beijing in the near future. Rather, the high‐emission scenario in this period may decrease the meteorological potential that is favourable for the enhanced Beijing haze pollution by inducing a Northeast Asia cyclonic anomaly, compared to situations under SSP2–4.5, with medium emissions. Further analyses indicated that, under the continued sustainable pathway (SSP1–2.6 in P CN plus SSP1–2.6 in P CP ; the better pathway simulating the effects of approximate net‐zero emissions during P CN through model results), atmospheric conditions such as the East Asian winter monsoon as well as decadal oceanic forcings of the mega‐El Niño and the warm Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, which are conducive to more frequent Beijing haze, are significantly suppressed in the farther future P CN . Under such circumstances, in situ haze pollution is highly repressed, suggesting a critical and positive role for the low‐carbon policy advocated by China during P CN in suppressing longer‐term hazy conditions over Beijing. In contrast, Beijing haze pollution during P CN is frequent under the discontinued sustainable pathway (SSP2–4.5/SSP5–8.5 in P CN plus SSP1–2.6 in P CP ). Our findings demonstrate the possible insignificant impact of the high‐emission strategy of China during the near‐future P CP on Beijing haze exacerbation, and an important role for carbon neutrality advocated by China to suppress the haze potential in the farther future P CN , highlighting the significance of future pathway selections.

Genetic Stock Identification and Adaptability of Hatchery-Reared Black Rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii, Released Into the North Yellow Sea waters - Qi Liu; Ziwei Wang; Weiyuan Li; Qi Zhang; Binwei Liu; Meiyuan Li; Ying Liu; Tao Tian; Hongwei Yan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Successful stock enhancement refers to the maintenance of economic profit, whilst minimizing negative genetic and ecological effects. As hatchery environments differ from natural habitats, post-release identification of hatchery-reared juveniles, and estimation of their adaptability are essential steps in conducting responsible stock enhancement. The black rockfish is an important fishery species in Japan, South Korea and China. Overfishing has dramatically decreased natural resources and a stock enhancement program was first initiated in the Liaodong peninsula in 2019. We traced this program and used nine microsatellite markers to identify 279 individuals as being hatchery-reared, out of 710 captured fish, with a resource contribution rate of 39.30%. These results indicated that stock enhancement of this species is likely to maintain a positive economic performance. To understand the potential genetic impacts on the local wild population, the genetic patterns of S. schlegelii stocks (wild controls from 2017, wild controls from 2018, female broodstock from 2019, recaptured hatchery-reared fish from 2019 and recaptured non-hatchery-reared fish from 2019 stocks) from the same habitat were evaluated before and after artificial stocking. We found that the S. schlegelii population was able to maintain high genetic diversity and showed weak genetic differentiation, but potential genetic introgression derived from stock enhancement should be concerned. The hatchery-reared individuals showed good adaptability, as shown by feeding condition and growth status. There was no obvious morphology difference between hatchery-reared fish and their wild counterparts, but hatchery-reared fish seemed to be bigger in size (significantly higher in MDB and BW), had a larger head (significantly larger in PRL/HL and ID/HL) and smaller paired fins (significantly smaller PCFL/BL), when compared with wild individuals across all investigation months. Our results provided insights into management of black rockfish enhancement in the future.

Background Previous studies suggested that CXCL12 was involved in the development, metastasis, and invasion of breast cancer, and genetic variants were associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with breast cancer. The present study was aimed to assess the relationships between CXCL12 polymorphisms (rs1801157, rs2297630, and rs2839693) and susceptibility and clinicopathological features of breast cancer. Methods A case-control study was conducted in 434 breast cancer patients and 450 health controls. Student t -test and chi-square test were used to analyze the differences of age distribution and genotype frequencies between the two groups. Correlations between polymorphisms and clinical parameters were also assessed by chi-square test. The potential effects of the three polymorphisms on CXCL12 were investigated by the public database. Results A statistical association was found between CXCL12 rs1801157 polymorphism and breast cancer risk, possibility of metastasis, and estrogen receptor status. Patients with rs2839693 C/T or C/T-T/T genotypes were more likely to be progesterone receptor-negative. However, no associations of rs2297630 polymorphism with breast cancer risk or any clinicopathological characteristics were observed. In addition, rs2297630 affected the splicing quantitative trait loci of CXCL12 in the subcutaneous fat, rs2839693 polymorphism affected the splicing quantitative trait loci of CXCL12 in the human breast mammary tissues. Conclusions Those results indicated that CXCL12 polymorphisms might be potential diagnostic indicators, and more investigation is needed in the future.

MoOpy2 is essential for fungal development, pathogenicity, and autophagy in Magnaporthe oryzae - Ying‐Ying Cai; Jing‐Yi Wang; Xi‐Yu Wu; Shuang Liang; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Lin Li; Jian‐Ping Lu; Xiao‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Cheng Lin (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary The development and pathogenicity of the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , the causal agent of destructive rice blast disease, require it to perceive external environmental signals. Opy2, an overproduction‐induced pheromone‐resistant protein 2, is a crucial protein for sensing external signals in Saccharomyces cerevisiae . However, the biological functions of the homologue of Opy2 in M. oryzae are unclear. In this study, we identified that MoOPY2 is involved in fungal development, pathogenicity, and autophagy in M. oryzae . Deletion of MoOPY2 resulted in pleiotropic defects in hyphal growth, conidiation, germ tube extension, appressorium formation, appressorium turgor generation, and invasive growth, therefore leading to attenuated pathogenicity. Furthermore, MoOpy2 participates in the Osm1 MAPK pathway and the Mps1 MAPK pathway by interacting with the adaptor protein Mst50. The interaction sites of Mst50 and MoOpy2 colocalized with the autophagic marker protein MoAtg8 in the preautophagosomal structure sites (PAS). Notably, the Δ Moopy2 mutant caused cumulative MoAtg8 lipidation and rapid GFP‐MoAtg8 degradation in response to nitrogen starvation, showing that MoOpy2 is involved in the negative regulation of autophagy activity. Taken together, our study revealed that MoOpy2 of M. oryzae plays an essential role in the orchestration of fungal development, appressorium penetration, autophagy and pathogenesis.

Responses of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa under Pb( II ) stress: carotenoid production and budding - Zhijun Wang; Ying Zhang; Liu Jiang; Jingjing Qiu; Yanan Gao; Tingting Gu; Zhen Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Rhodotorula mucilaginosa resists heavy metal (HM) stress because of its abundant extracellular polymeric substances and functional vesicles. In this study, we provided new insights into its survival strategies at both biochemical and genetic levels. After lead exposure, carotenoid biosynthesis was initiated within 24 h incubation and then increased to the maximum after 96 h of incubation. Raman analysis confirmed that carotenoids (primarily β‐carotene) were the major identifiable chemical substances on the cell surface. Moreover, the increased carotenoid production was accompanied by a rising budding rate, ~40% higher than that in the cultures without Pb. During the 96 h of incubation, the driving force for Pb accumulation was assigned to this elevated budding rate. After 96 h, biosorption was primarily attributed to the enhanced antioxidant ability of the single cells during carotenoid production. Furthermore, the yeast budding cells demonstrated an evidently heterogeneous biosorption of Pb, i.e., the rejuvenated daughters had a relatively lower Pb level than the mother cells. This resulted in the protection of the buds from Pb stress. After investigating phosphorus uptake and the RNA sequencing data, we finally confirmed two tightly correlated pathways that resist HM stress, i.e., biochemical (carotenoid production) and reproductive (healthy buds) pathways.

Passive Sonar Target Tracking Based on Deep Learning - Ying Wang; Hongjian Wang; Qing Li; Yao Xiao; Xicheng Ban (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
At present, the tracking accuracy of underwater passive target tracking is often limited due to models that are overly simple, with low complexity, poor universality, and an inability to learn. In this paper, a cubature Kalman filter (CKF) algorithm based on a gated recurrent unit (GRU) network is proposed. The filter innovation, prediction error, and filter gain obtained from the CKF are used as the input to the GRU network, and the filter error value is used as the output to train the network. End-to-end online learning is carried out using the designed fully connected network, and the current state of the target is predicted. In this paper, a deep neural network based on the GRU architecture is used to convert the tracking prediction problem into a time series prediction problem in the field of artificial intelligence, and its strong fitting ability is used to resolve the uncertainty of the target motion. Simulation results show that an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) state estimation method based on the GRU filter proposed in this paper offers better accuracy and stability than the traditional state estimation method.

Unsupervised Machine Learning for Improved Delaunay Triangulation - Tao Song; Jiarong Wang; Danya Xu; Wei Wei; Runsheng Han; Fan Meng; Ying Li; Pengfei Xie (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Physical oceanography models rely heavily on grid discretization. It is known that unstructured grids perform well in dealing with boundary fitting problems in complex nearshore regions. However, it is time-consuming to find a set of unstructured grids in specific ocean areas, particularly in the case of land areas that are frequently changed by human construction. In this work, an attempt was made to use machine learning for the optimization of the unstructured triangular meshes formed with Delaunay triangulation in the global ocean field, so that the triangles in the triangular mesh were closer to equilateral triangles, the long, narrow triangles in the triangular mesh were reduced, and the mesh quality was improved. Specifically, we used Delaunay triangulation to generate the unstructured grid, and then developed a K-means clustering-based algorithm to optimize the unstructured grid. With the proposed method, unstructured meshes were generated and optimized for global oceans, small sea areas, and the South China Sea estuary to carry out data experiments. The results suggested that the proportion of triangles with a triangle shape factor greater than 0.7 amounted to 77.80%, 79.78%, and 79.78%, respectively, in the unstructured mesh. Meanwhile, the proportion of long, narrow triangles in the unstructured mesh was decreased to 8.99%, 3.46%, and 4.12%, respectively.

Immersion immunization of common carp with bacterial ghost‐based DNA vaccine inducing prophylactic protective immunity against spring viraemia of carp virus - Yu‐Ying Zheng; Chen Zhang; Yang Li; Peng‐Qi Zhang; Guo Chen; Gao‐Xue Wang; Bin Zhu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
The interactive applications of immunization route, vaccine type and delivery vectors are emerging as a key area of research within the field of mass immunization in fishery production. In an effort to improve DNA vaccine's immune efficiency in large‐scale immunization, a promising bacterial ghost‐loaded DNA vaccine was constructed based on Escherichia coli DH5α. In common carp was investigated the immune response to immersion immunization via related indicator analysis, and the challenge test of spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) was carried out. The result indicated that BG‐loaded DNA vaccine induced higher serum antibody level than naked pEG‐G. Simultaneously, the immunophysiological indicators and genes change at the more advanced levels in the BG/pEG‐G immune group. At the treatment concentration of 20 mg/L of the BG/pEG‐G group, IgM and IgZ expressions in vivo were markedly increased by 21.62 times and 6.91 times, respectively, and the relative percentage survival reached the peak of 59.57%. This study paves the way for future aquatic animal vaccine research, which aimed to develop the highly effective immersion vaccine system by delivery vectors, with the ultimate aim to prevent and restrict SVCV in actual production.

A single nucleotide polymorphism in an R2R3 MYB transcription factor gene triggers the male sterility in soybean ms6 (Ames1) - Junping Yu; Guolong Zhao; Wei Li; Ying Zhang; Peng Wang; Aigen Fu; Limei Zhao; Chunbao Zhang; Min Xu (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021)
Key message Identification and functional analysis of the male sterile gene MS6 in Glycine max . Abstract Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr . ) is an important crop providing vegetable oil and protein. The male sterility-based hybrid breeding is a promising method for improving soybean yield to meet the globally growing demand. In this research, we identified a soybean genic male sterile locus, MS6 , by combining the bulked segregant analysis sequencing method and the map-based cloning technology. MS6 , highly expressed in anther, encodes an R2R3 MYB transcription factor (GmTDF1-1) that is homologous to Tapetal Development and Function 1, a key factor for anther development in Arabidopsis and rice. In male sterile ms6 (Ames1), the mutant allele contains a missense mutation, leading to the 76th leucine substituted by histidine in the DNA binding domain of GmTDF1-1. The expression of soybean MS6 under the control of the AtTDF1 promoter could rescue the male sterility of attdf1 but ms6 could not. Additionally, ms6 overexpression in wild-type Arabidopsis did not affect anther development. These results evidence that GmTDF1-1 is a functional TDF1 homolog and L76H disrupts its function. Notably, GmTDF1-1 shows 92% sequence identity with another soybean protein termed as GmTDF1-2, whose active expression also restored the fertility of attdf1 . However, GmTDF1-2 is constitutively expressed at a very low level in soybean, and therefore, not able to compensate for the MS6 deficiency. Analysis of the TDF1-involved anther development regulatory pathway showed that expressions of the genes downstream of TDF1 are significantly suppressed in ms6 , unveiling that GmTDF1-1 is a core transcription factor regulating soybean anther development.

Terpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus: effects and prospects of environmental factors in metabolic engineering - Yongliang Liu; Barunava Patra; Sanjay Kumar Singh; Priyanka Paul; Yan Zhou; Yongqing Li; Ying Wang; Sitakanta Pattanaik; Ling Yuan (Biotechnology Letters, 2021)
Plants synthesize a vast array of specialized metabolites that primarily contribute to their defense and survival under adverse conditions. Many of the specialized metabolites have therapeutic values as drugs. Biosynthesis of specialized metabolites is affected by environmental factors including light, temperature, drought, salinity, and nutrients, as well as pathogens and insects. These environmental factors trigger a myriad of changes in gene expression at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. The dynamic changes in gene expression are mediated by several regulatory proteins that perceive and transduce the signals, leading to up- or down-regulation of the metabolic pathways. Exploring the environmental effects and related signal cascades is a strategy in metabolic engineering to produce valuable specialized metabolites. However, mechanistic studies on environmental factors affecting specialized metabolism are limited. The medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle) is an important source of bioactive terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs), including the anticancer therapeutics vinblastine and vincristine. The emerging picture shows that various environmental factors significantly alter TIA accumulation by affecting the expression of regulatory and enzyme-encoding genes in the pathway. Compared to our understanding of the TIA pathway in response to the phytohormone jasmonate, the impacts of environmental factors on TIA biosynthesis are insufficiently studied and discussed. This review thus focuses on these aspects and discusses possible strategies for metabolic engineering of TIA biosynthesis. Purpose of work Catharanthus roseus is a rich source of bioactive terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs). The objective of this work is to present a comprehensive account of the influence of various biotic and abiotic factors on TIA biosynthesis and to discuss possible strategies to enhance TIA production through metabolic engineering.

MiR-200c-3p aggravates gastric cell carcinoma via KLF6 - Ying Wang; Kaijuan Lu; Weibing Li; Zhigang Wang; Jing Ding; Zeyu Zhu; Zhipeng Li (Genes & Genomics, 2021)
Background Gastric cell carcinoma (GCC) is a common and high-incidence malignant gastrointestinal cancer that seriously threatens human life and safety. Evidences suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) exhibit an essential role in regulating the occurrence and development of GCC, while the effects and possible mechanisms remain to be further explored. Objective This study was designed to explore whether miR-200c-3p exerted its functional role in the growth and metastasis of GCC, and investigate the possible mechanisms. Methods The expression levels of miR-200c-3p in GCC tissues and cell lines were detected by qRT-PCR analysis. The functional role of miR-200c-3p in the viability, proliferation, migration and invasion of GCC cells were evaluated by CCK-8, EdU, wound healing and Transwell assays. In addition, the candidate targets of miR-200c-3p was predicted and confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, the relationship between miR-200c-3p and target (Krüppel like factor 6, KLF6) was assessed by qRT-PCR and western blot assays. Besides, the expression levels of KLF6 in GCC cells were determined by qRT-PCR and western blot assays. Furthermore, the role of KLF6 in the viability, proliferation, migration and invasion of GCC cells mediated with miR-200c-3p mimics was evaluated by CCK-8, EdU, wound healing and Transwell assays. Results In the present study, a new tumor promoting function of miR-200c-3p was disclosed in GCC. We found that the expression of miR-200c-3p was obviously increased in clinic GCC tissues and cell lines. In addition, down-regulation of miR-200c-3p suppressed cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion in GCC cells. Moreover, KLF6 was verified as a direct target of miR-200c-3p by binding its 3’-UTR. Additionally, KLF6 was remarkably decreased and was negatively associated with the miR-200c-3p expression in GCC cell lines. Furthermore, over-expression of KLF6 retarded the effects of miR-200c-3p on the growth and metastasis of GCC cell lines. Conclusions MiR-200c-3p potentially played a tumor-promoting role in the occurrence and development of GCC, which may be achieved by targeting KLF6. Graphic abstract

Microbial ecology of sulfur cycling near the sulfate–methane transition of deep‐sea cold seep sediments - Wen‐Li Li; Xiyang Dong; Rui Lu; Ying‐Li Zhou; Peng‐Fei Zheng; Dong Feng; Yong Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Microbial sulfate reduction is largely associated with anaerobic methane oxidation and alkane degradation in sulfate–methane transition zone (SMTZ) of deep‐sea cold seeps. How the sulfur cycling is mediated by microbes near SMTZ has not been fully understood. In this study, we detected a shallow SMTZ in three of eight sediment cores sampled from two cold seep areas in the South China Sea. One hundred ten genomes representing sulfur‐oxidizing bacteria (SOB) and sulfur‐reducing bacteria (SRB) strains were identified from three SMTZ‐bearing cores. In the layers above SMTZ, SOB were mostly constituted by Campylobacterota, Gammaproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria that probably depended on nitrogen oxides and/or oxygen for oxidation of sulfide and thiosulfate in near‐surface sediment layers. In the layers below the SMTZ, the deltaproteobacterial SRB genomes and metatranscriptomes revealed CO 2 fixation by Wood–Ljungdahl pathway, sulfate reduction and nitrogen fixation for syntrophic or fermentative lifestyle. A total of 68% of the metagenome assembled genomes were not adjacent to known species in a phylogenomic tree, indicating a high diversity of bacteria involved in sulfur cycling. With the large number of genomes for SOB and SRB, our study uncovers the microbial populations that potentially mediate sulfur metabolism and associated carbon and nitrogen cycles, which sheds light on complex biogeochemical processes in deep‐sea environments.

Reduced Firing of Nucleus Accumbens Parvalbumin Interneurons Impairs Risk Avoidance in DISC1 Transgenic Mice - Xinyi Zhou; Bifeng Wu; Wenhao Liu; Qian Xiao; Wei He; Ying Zhou; Pengfei Wei; Xu Zhang; Yue Liu; Jie Wang; Jufang He; Zhigang Zhang; et al. (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
A strong animal survival instinct is to approach objects and situations that are of benefit and to avoid risk. In humans, a large proportion of mental disorders are accompanied by impairments in risk avoidance. One of the most important genes involved in mental disorders is disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1 ( DISC1 ), and animal models in which this gene has some level of dysfunction show emotion-related impairments. However, it is not known whether DISC1 mouse models have an impairment in avoiding potential risks. In the present study, we used DISC1-N terminal truncation ( DISC1-N TM ) mice to investigate risk avoidance and found that these mice were impaired in risk avoidance on the elevated plus maze (EPM) and showed reduced social preference in a three-chamber social interaction test. Following EPM tests, c-Fos expression levels indicated that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) was associated with risk-avoidance behavior in DISC1-N TM mice. In addition, in vivo electrophysiological recordings following tamoxifen administration showed that the firing rates of fast-spiking neurons (FS) in the NAc were significantly lower in DISC1-N TM mice than in wild-type (WT) mice. In addition, in vitro patch clamp recording revealed that the frequency of action potentials stimulated by current injection was lower in parvalbumin (PV) neurons in the NAc of DISC1-N TM mice than in WT controls. The impairment of risk avoidance in DISC1-N TM mice was rescued using optogenetic tools that activated NAc PV neurons. Finally, inhibition of the activity of NAc PV neurons in PV-Cre mice mimicked the risk-avoidance impairment found in DISC1-N TM mice during tests on the elevated zero maze. Taken together, our findings confirm an impairment in risk avoidance in DISC1-N TM mice and suggest that reduced excitability of NAc PV neurons is responsible.

Resource status and protection strategies of mangroves in China - Xiu-Mei Fu; Hui-Ying Tang; Yang Liu; Meng-Qi Zhang; Shan-Shan Jiang; Fang Yang; Xiao-Yan Li; Chang-Yun Wang (Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2021)
Mangrove is a typical natural landscape with great ecological, social and economic functions and values, and should be highly valued and protected. However, in the past few decades, mangrove resources have suffered serious damage, and there are also many deficiencies in mangrove protection. Chinese mangroves, as an important part of the global mangroves, are of great research value. In the present study, the status and historical dynamic process of Chinese mangrove resources were investigated and discussed to illustrate the problems of resources from three aspects, including mangrove distribution, area and plant species. Based on field research, literature research and data analysis, it was revealed that Chinese mangroves are distributed in eight provinces and regions along the southeast coast with an area of 35,749.25 hm 2 , 38 species and 40 nature reserves. The protection situation and deficiencies were analyzed from the establishment and management of nature reserves. Based on the resource status and problems, reasonable strategies were proposed to protect and manage mangroves mainly from four aspects, including publicity and education, resources restoration and protection technology, legal system establishment, and comprehensive protection and management.

Exogenous Glutathione Alleviates Cadmium Toxicity in Wheat by Influencing the Absorption and Translocation of Cadmium - Ge-Zi Li; Shi-Juan Chen; Na-Ying Li; Ying-Ying Wang; Guo-Zhang Kang (Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2021)
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, is harmful to plants and human health. Glutathione (GSH) could alleviate Cd toxicity of plant species, whereas its mechanism responsible for wheat remains poorly understood. Here, we found that exogenous GSH application significantly increased the fresh and dry weight, root elongation, chlorophyll contents, while decreased the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and GSH, and translocation factor of Cd compared with Cd treatment. Moreover, GSH application significantly increased activities of antioxidant enzymes and expression of related genes, which involved in GSH synthesis, especially in roots. In addition, we found that GSH application suppressed Cd-induced expression of metal transporter genes TaNramp1 , TaNramp5 , TaHMA2 , TaHMA3 , TaLCT1 and TaIRT2 in roots. Taken together, our results suggested that GSH could alleviate Cd toxicity in wheat by increasing GSH synthesis gene expression or suppressing Cd transporter genes expression, and further affecting Cd uptake and translocation in wheat plants.

Risk factors for sleep disorders in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis - Gui-Ling Liu; Qiu-Nan Zhan; You-Lu Zhao; Zu-Ying Xiong; Jin-Lan Liao; Ye-Ping Ren; Qin Wang; Li-Ping Duan; Zhao-Xia Zheng; Li Hao; Jie Dong (Sleep and Biological Rhythms, 2021)
Sleep disorders in patients with end-stage renal disease are common but have rarely been reported in previous studies. Therefore, we examined the prevalence of sleep disorders and the risk factors for declining sleep quality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). A multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted at five PD centers across different provinces in China. A total of 449 patients who underwent PD between March to November 2013 were enrolled. Demographic data, laboratory indicators, presence of depression, and sleep assessment data were collected. Sleep questionnaires reflecting five categories of sleep disorders, namely, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, excessive daytime sleepiness, possible narcolepsy, and sleepwalking and nightmares, were administered at baseline and at 24 months postoperatively. Sleep disorders were diagnosed when a patient had at least one sleep problem. At baseline, 335 (74.6%) patients had at least one type of sleep disorder. Depression, diabetes mellitus (DM), and male were found to be associated with the presence of a sleep disorder. At follow-up, the prevalence of insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and excessive daytime sleepiness had significantly increased in 285 patients. Furthermore, cardiovascular disease (CVD) was found to be associated with the presence of sleep disorders in patients with one or more disorders at baseline, whereas a low serum albumin level was found to be associated with sleep disorders in patients without any sleep disorders at baseline. The prevalence of sleep disorders was relatively high among PD patients at baseline and increased afterthe2-year follow-up. Depression, DM, and male were associated with all sleep disorders at baseline. CVD was associated with the presence of a sleep disorder at baseline and worse sleep quality at the 2-year follow-up; whereas a low serum albumin level was associated with the risk of acquiring a sleep disorder at the 2-year follow-up among patients with normal sleep status at baseline.

Kidney disease is manifested in a wide variety of phenotypes, many of which have an important hereditary component. To delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pediatric nephropathy, a multicenter registration system is being implemented based on the Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database (CCGKDD). In this study, all the patients with kidney and urological diseases were recruited from 2014 to 2020. Genetic analysis was conducted using exome sequencing for families with multiple affected individuals with nephropathy or clinical suspicion of a genetic kidney disease owing to early-onset or extrarenal features. The genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 883 of 2256 (39.1%) patients from 23 provinces in China. Phenotypic profiles showed that the primary diagnosis included steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS, 23.5%), glomerulonephritis (GN, 32.2%), congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT, 21.2%), cystic renal disease (3.9%), renal calcinosis/stone (3.6%), tubulopathy (9.7%), and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu, 5.8%). The pathogenic variants of 105 monogenetic disorders were identified. Ten distinct genomic disorders were identified as pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs) in 11 patients. The diagnostic yield differed by subgroups, and was highest in those with cystic renal disease (66.3%), followed by tubulopathy (58.4%), GN (57.7%), CKDu (43.5%), SRNS (29.2%), renal calcinosis /stone (29.3%) and CAKUT (8.6%). Reverse phenotyping permitted correct identification in 40 cases with clinical reassessment and unexpected genetic conditions. We present the results of the largest cohort of children with kidney disease in China where diagnostic exome sequencing was performed. Our data demonstrate the utility of family-based exome sequencing, and indicate that the combined analysis of genotype and phenotype based on the national patient registry is pivotal to the genetic diagnosis of kidney disease.

(Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Offshore wind turbines are a complex, dynamically sensitive structure due to their irregular mass and stiffness distribution, and complexity of the loading conditions they need to withstand. There are other challenges in particular locations such as typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, sea-bed currents, and tsunami. Because offshore wind turbines have stringent Serviceability Limit State (SLS) requirements and need to be installed in variable and often complex ground conditions, their foundation design is challenging. Foundation design must be robust due to the enormous cost of retrofitting in a challenging environment should any problem occur during the design lifetime. Traditionally, engineers use conventional types of foundation systems, such as shallow gravity-based foundations (GBF), suction caissons, or slender piles or monopiles, based on prior experience with designing such foundations for the oil and gas industry. For offshore wind turbines, however, new types of foundations are being considered for which neither prior experience nor guidelines exist. One of the major challenges is to develop a method to de-risk the life cycle of offshore wind turbines in diverse metocean and geological conditions. The paper, therefore, has the following aims: (a) provide an overview of the complexities and the common SLS performance requirements for offshore wind turbine; (b) discuss the use of physical modelling for verification and validation of innovative design concepts, taking into account all possible angles to de-risk the project; and (c) provide examples of applications in scaled model tests.
