Dengue remains a public health issue worldwide. Similar to chronic infectious diseases, stimulation of cytokine production is not enough to drive immune effector cells for effective virus clearance. One possible mechanism is the virus induces a large number of negative stimulatory cytokines inhibiting immune response. Interleukin 37 (IL-37) plays a crucial regulatory role in infection and immunity, inhibits innate and adaptive immunity as an anti-inflammatory cytokine by inhibiting proinflammatory mediators and pathways. To date, there are few studies reporting correlations between dengue fever (DF) and IL-37. In this study we found that the serum IL-37b and IL-37b-producing monocytes in patients were significantly increased in DF patients. A majority of the IL-37b produced by DF patients was produced by monocytes, not lymphocytes. Increased levels of IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-α were also found in DF patients. However, we failed to detect IL-1β, IL-17A and TNF-α in plasma, because of off-target. In our study, there was no relation between IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-α expressions and IL-37b in serum ( P > 0.05). The IL-37b-producing monocytes were negatively correlated with the level of IFN-α in serum and platelet count, and positively correlated with lymphocytes percentage ( P < 0.05, respectively). Additionally, serum DENV nonstructural protein 1 levels were positively correlated with monocytes percentages ( P < 0.05). Our data represents findings for IL-37b expression and its potential mechanisms in DF patients’ immune response.

Comparison and Investigation of Exosomes from Human Amniotic Fluid Stem Cells and Human Breast Milk in Alleviating Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis - Xiaohan Hu; Rui Zhang; Hansi Liang; Jingnan An; Yuan Yang; Jie Huo; Zhenjiang Chen; Wei Quan; Lu Jiang; Cancan Li; Jian Li; Fang Li; et al. (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2023)
In view of the devastating impact of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) on newborns, the research on its intervention is particularly important. Although exosomes from human amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC) and human breast milk (HBM) can protect against NEC, their mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we intend to compare the intervention effects of two types of exosomes on NEC mouse model and reveal their respective regulatory mechanisms. In general, both AFSC-derived exosomes (AFSC-exos) and HBM-derived exosomes (HBM- exos) can alleviate NEC- associated intestinal injury, significantly reduce NEC score, and reduce systemic and ileal inflammation and NEC related brain injury during experimental NEC. However, the mode and mechanism of action of the two sources of exosomes were not identical. In vivo, the number of ileal crypts was more significantly restored after HBM-exos intervention than AFSC-exos, and in vitro, HBM-exos preferentially inhibited the inflammatory response of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), whereas AFSC-exos preferentially regulated the migration of IECs. Mechanistically, GO and KEGG analyses revealed the different therapeutic mechanisms of AFSC-exos and HBM-exos in NEC. Taken together, our results illustrate that AFSC-exos and HBM-exos reduce the severity of experimental NEC and intestinal damage through different mechanisms, supporting the potential of cell-free or breast milk free exosome therapy for NEC.

Selective feeding of the mullet larvae Liza haematocheila during ontogeny in Laizhou Bay, Bohai Sea, China: The importance of small copepods in mesozooplankton as prey - Xiaohong Sun; Minpeng Song; Zhengguang Li; Yan Song; Xiaonan Yuan; Bing Dong; Lu Zhang; Lixin Zhu; Zhenlin Liang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The mullet Liza haematocheila is widely distributed in low-salinity waters around the world and has high economic value. However, details regarding the foraging ecology of mullet larvae remain unclear. Larvae of L. haematocheila were sampled in Laizhou Bay of the Bohai Sea, China, in May 2016, and diet composition was detected using gut content analysis to compare differences in feeding parameters and diet shift in dominant prey during ontogeny. The results showed no linear relationship between gape size (GS) and standard length (SL) at larva length <7 mm (flexion larvae, FL), but linear increase was observed for SL >7 mm (post-flexion larvae, PFL). Maximum prey size (MPS) overlapped with GS during the FL stage but was never higher than GS during the PFL stage. Trends of increasing MPS and prey size range (PSR) during the PFL stage were lower than those during the FL stage, but prey number (PN) increased significantly during the PFL stage. Diet composition analyses in mullet larvae showed a total of 10 mesozooplankton species (or categories), of which 8 species were copepods (including copepods nauplii and copepodites), and showed the dominance of 4 small copepods (<1 mm). Analyses of the numerical proportion of dominant copepods showed that the largest prey (Paracalanus parvus) gradually increased as GS increased; conversely, the smallest prey (nauplii of Calanus sinicus) decreased. Collectively, these results suggest that PFL tends to exhibit increased PN but not prey size or size range, and diet shifts from smaller to larger prey during ontogeny in mullet larvae. All these indicate that PFL has higher prey selection ability compared with FL, specifically switching the diet to include larger small copepods during the PFL stage and increasing the prey number instead of increasing prey size. These determine the importance of small copepods in mesozooplankton as dominant prey and facilitate predictions of the impact of climate change on mesozooplankton and fish larvae.

Building feature‐based machine learning regression to quantify urban material stocks: A Hong Kong study - Liang Yuan; Weisheng Lu; Fan Xue; Maosu Li (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2023)
Urban material stock (UMS) represents elegant thinking by perceiving cities as a repository of construction materials that can be reused in the future, rather than a burdensome generator of construction and demolition waste. Many studies have attempted to quantify UMS but they often fall short in accuracy, primarily owing to the lack of proper quantification methods or good data available at a micro level. This research aims to develop a simple but satisfactory model for UMS quantification by focusing on individual buildings. Generally, it is a “bottom‐up” approach that uses building features to proximate the material stocks of individual buildings. The research benefits from a set of valuable, “post‐mortem” ground truth data related to 71 buildings that have been demolished in Hong Kong. By comparing a series of machine learning‐based models, a multiple linear regression model with six building features, namely building type, building year, height, perimeter, total floor area, and total floor number, is found to yield a satisfactory estimate of building material stocks with a mean absolute percentage error of 9.1%, root‐mean‐square error of 474.13, and R ‐square of 0.93. The major contribution of this research is to predict a building's material stock based on several easy‐to‐obtain building features. The methodology of machine learning regression is novel. The model provides a useful reference for quantifying UMS in other regions. Future explorations are recommended to calibrate the model when data in these regions is available.

Genetic diversity in early maturity Chinese and European elite soybeans: A comparative analysis - Xindong Yao; Jiang-yuan Xu; Zhang-xiong Liu; Martin Pachner; Eva Maria Molin; Leopold Rittler; Volker Hahn; Willmar Leiser; Yong-zhe Gu; Yu-qing Lu; Li-juan Qiu; Johann Vollmann (Euphytica, 2023)
Soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is a legume crop important for global food security due to supplying high-quality vegetable protein and oil. China is the origin and rich center of soybean genetic diversity represented by numerous landraces and other genetic resources. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, world-wide dissemination of plant introductions laid the foundation of modern soybean production. Due to selection for regional adaptation, present-day elite soybean cultivars do have a comparatively narrow genetic base. However, as genetic variation is the major component of future breeding progress, diversity of early maturity Chinese and European elite soybeans was comparatively analyzed using a high-throughput functional SNP array and an SSR marker set. Results revealed a clear differentiation between Chinese and European elite cultivars, and the level of genetic diversity was similar between the two populations. Both in Chinese and European cultivars, unique SSR alleles were found which indicates that selection for specific adaptation can preserve genetic variation. The European population was markedly structured by maturity groups which was less clear in the Chinese population. Structure analysis indicated that European cultivars are based on two major ancestral lines, whereas Chinese elite soybean cultivars trace back to more ancestral lines pointing to the rich natural soybean diversity of China. The results confirm that long-term selection under divergent environmental and agronomic conditions can produce specific diversity which could potentially be utilized for future enhancing both Chinese and European soybean breeding.

Morphology has been a leading taxonomic guiding light to systematists for the last couple of hundred years. However, the genetic and – more recently – genomic revolution have produced numerous demonstrations of erroneous classifications that were based on labile morphological traits. We used thousands of genome‐wide markers to shed light on evolutionary dynamics in a confusing and taxonomically obscure group of Asian Cyornis flycatchers. Using genomic data, we corroborated recent findings based on three mitochrondrial and five nuclear genes that the two taxa hainanus and klossi which were previously treated as separate species ( Cyornis hainanus and Cyornis rubeculoides klossi , respectively) are genomically homogeneous and form a single species, C. hainanus . We also uncovered a novel case of interbreeding between C. hainanus and a non‐sister species, C. glaucicomans , illustrating these flycatchers' ability to hybridise in marginal situations even after substantial times of divergence. Our study illustrates how genome‐wide loci can shed light on complicated taxonomic problems, resulting in a better integration of phenotypic and genotypic data.

An Introduction to the Application of Marine Controlled-Source Electromagnetic Methods for Natural Gas Hydrate Exploration - Yuan Li; Evert Slob; Dieter Werthmüller; Lipeng Wang; Hailong Lu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Natural gas hydrates have been an unconventional source of energy since the beginning of this century. Gas-hydrate-filled reservoirs show higher resistivity values compared with water-filled sediments. Their presence can be detected using marine controlled-source electromagnetic methods. We classify acquisition configurations into stationary and moving receiver configurations, which are described in terms of the design group, the operational details, and where they have been used successfully in the field for natural gas hydrate exploration. All configurations showed good numerical results for the detection of a 700 m long gas hydrate reservoir buried 200 m below the seafloor, but only the stationary configurations provided data that can be used to estimate the horizontal boundaries of the resistive part of the reservoir when the burial depth is known from seismic data. We discuss the operational steps of the configurations and provide the steps on how to choose a suitable configuration. Different CSEM configurations were used together with seismic data to estimate the edge of the gas hydrate reservoir and the total volume of the gas hydrates, to optimize the drilling location, to increase production safety, and to improve geological interpretations. It seems that CSEM has become a reliable method to aid in the decision-making process for gas hydrate reservoir appraisal and development.

Establishment of an astrocyte‐like cell line from the brain of tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) for virus pathogenesis and a vitro model of the blood–brain barrier - Yuan Li; Yu Huang; Jia Cai; Dongneng Jiang; Ji‐chang Jian; Yi‐shan Lu; Bei Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
A new cell line was established from the brain of a cultured fish, tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), designated as TA‐02 (Tilapia Astrocyte clone 02 cell line). The TA‐02 cells are grown for 300 days in an L‐15 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). This cell line showed excellent proliferative capacity and expressed various neuroglial cell markers, including SOX2, SOX10, Hes1, Notch1, Occludin, E‐cadherin, and GFAP. In addition, TA‐02 cells were susceptible to Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) as demonstrated by the presence of a severe cytopathic effect (CPE), virus particle in a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and PCR positive signal. Bacterial cytotoxicity studies showed that Streptococcus agalactiae was toxic to TA‐02 cells. When co‐culture with trans‐well, TA‐02 exhibited prominent barrier properties, manifested by tight intercellular junctions and increased trans‐endothelial electrical resistance (TEER). In addition, the barrier is effective against Escherichia coli (non‐meningitis pathogenic bacteria). In contrast, S. agalactiae (meningitis pathogenic bacteria) can pass through the membrane comprising the cells in the trans‐well insert. The newly established TA‐02 cell line provided a valuable tool for virus pathogenesis and a vitro model of the fish blood–brain barrier.

Histone methyltransferase GLP epigenetically activates GPCPD1 to sustain cancer cell metastasis and invasion - He Wen; Minghui Shu; Jia-Yi Chen; Xiaofan Li; Qian Zhu; Jun Zhang; Yuan Tian; Xiaopeng Lu; Wei-Guo Zhu (Genome Instability & Disease, 2022)
Disordered choline metabolism is associated with tumor progression. Glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase 1 (GPCPD1) is critical for cleaving glycerophosphocholine (GPC) to produce choline. However, whether and how GPCPD1 is epigenetically regulated remains largely unknown. In the current study, we report that histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase GLP (G9a-like Protein) is essential for transcriptional activation of GPCPD1 through H3K9me1 to promote tumor cell migration and invasion. Knocking down GLP or inhibiting its methyltransferase activity impaired GPCPD1 expression and decreased the choline levels. Importantly, we confirmed that both GPCPD1 and choline levels are positively correlated with cancer cell migration. The reduced migration and invasion of GPCPD1-knockdown cells were rescued by choline treatment. Interestingly, GPCPD1 gene expression was found regulated by transcription factor Krüppel-like Factor 5 (KLF5). KLF5 recruitment was GLP-dependent and was indispensable for GPC-induced GPCPD1 expression. These data suggest that GLP promotes tumor cell migration and invasion by transcriptionally activating GPCPD1 . GLP and KLF5 are potential therapeutic targets in future cancer treatment.

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

A Review of Natural Gas Hydrate Formation with Amino Acids - Bo Li; You-Yun Lu; Yuan-Le Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Natural gas is a kind of low-carbon energy source with abundant reserves globally and high calorific value. It is cleaner and more efficient than oil and coal. Enlarging the utilization of natural gas is also one of the important ways to reduce carbon emissions in the world. Solidified natural gas technology (SNG) stores natural gas in solid hydrates, which is a prospective, efficient, safe and environmental-friendly strategy of natural gas storage and transport. However, the slow growth rate and randomness of nucleation during natural gas hydrate formation in pure water hinder the industrial application of this technology. As a kind of new and potential additives, biodegradable amino acids can be adopted as favorable kinetic promoters for natural gas hydrate synthesis. Compared with other frequently used chemical additives, amino acids are usually more friendly to the environment, and are capable of avoiding foam formation during complete decomposition of gas hydrates. In this paper, we have reviewed the research progress of gas hydrate generation under the promotion of amino acids. The formation systems in which amino acids can enhance the growth speed of gas hydrates are summarized, and the impact of the concentration in different systems and the side chains of amino acids on hydrate growth have been illustrated. The thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors as well as the morphology properties of hydrate formation with amino acids are summarized, and the promotion mechanism is also analyzed for better selection of this kind of potential additives in the future.

Long-term changes in zooplankton in the Changjiang estuary from the 1960s to 2020 - Ping Du; Wen-Jian Ye; Bang-Ping Deng; Ming Mao; Yuan-Li Zhu; Fang-Ping Cheng; Zhi-Bing Jiang; Lu Shou; Quan-Zhen Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The Changjiang estuary (CJE) is a large estuary that is affected by multiple anthropogenic stressors and climate change. The long-term trend of zooplankton in the CJE is an important indicator of the ecological response to stressors. We applied the Mann–Kendall trend analysis and Pettitt test to detect the trend and breakpoints of the biomass of the large mesozooplankton (LMZ; 505–20 000 μm) in four seasons, abundance of main LMZ taxa in summer from the 1960s to 2020, and abundance of dominant species in summer from 2000 to 2020 in the CJE. Results showed that LMZ biomass increased significantly during spring and summer, and the breakpoints both occurred in the 1980s. After the breakpoint, the mean biomass increased from 142.88 to 429.42 mg/m 3 in spring and from 296.28 to 723.92 mg/m 3 in summer. After 2000, the abundance of Copepoda in summer increased by more than 10 times compared to the 1960s. Under the conditions of warming and increased dinoflagellate abundance in the CJE, the abundance of the warm-water and omnivorous small calanoid copepod Paracalanus aculeatus increased significantly. Meanwhile, the significant decrease in the abundance of the temperate brackish species Labidocera euchaeta was probably mainly related to warming. The rapid changes in LMZ biomass during the late 1980s and mid-1990s is probably the result of a combination of enhanced bottom–up support, reduced top–down pressure, and promotion of temperature. This study provides scientific evidence and insights into the adaptive management of the Changjiang Basin.

Genomic Comparison and Genetic Marker Identification of the White-Spotted Bamboo Shark Chiloscyllium plagiosum - Ruirui Zhao; Shanshan Cai; Dingfang Lu; Pengfei Li; Shengyong Xu; Yuan Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The white-spotted bamboo shark ( Chiloscyllium plagiosum ) is an ecologically and commercially important marine cartilaginous fish in the Indo-Western Pacific. However, the resources of this species are declining in recent years due to habitat degradation and overfishing. Studies on genomics and genetic markers can provide valuable information for sound management and conservation of C. plagiosum . In this study, genome resequencing data of a domesticated C. plagiosum individual were generated for genomic comparison between wild and domesticated samples. Based on 281.17 Gb of clean sequencing data, the genome size of the domesticated sample was estimated as 4.99 Gb, with heterozygosity of 0.51% and repeat ratio of 74.67%, which is about 1 Gb larger than that of the wild sample (3.85 Gb with a repeat ratio of 63.53%). By using a reference-based approach, we assembled a nearly 3.45 Gb genome sequence of the domesticated sample, with the scaffold N50 of 69.45 Mb. Subsequent identification of genome-wide microsatellite markers confirmed the different abundance of repeat elements in wild and domesticated C. plagiosum . Additionally, a total of 8,703,211 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected and annotated. The demographic analysis based on identified SNPs revealed a large and constant effective population size of C. plagiosum after the last population expansion (~0.3 million years ago). The genomic data and identified genetic markers in this study can provide fundamental and useful information for further comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and conservation genetics of C. plagiosum .

RIG-I acts as a tumor suppressor in melanoma via regulating the activation of the MKK/p38MAPK signaling pathway - Rui Guo; Shun-Yuan Lu; Jin-Xia Ma; Qian-Lan Wang; Lu Zhang; Ling-Yun Tang; Yan Shen; Chun-Ling Shen; Jin-Jin Wang; Li-Ming Lu; Zhu-Gang Wang; Hong-Xin Zhang (Human Cell, 2022)
Studies have indicated that RIG-I may act as a tumor suppressor and participate in the tumorigenesis of some malignant diseases. However, RIG-I induces distinct cellular responses via different downstream signaling pathways depending on the cell type. To investigate the biological function and underlying molecular mechanism of RIG-I in the tumorigenesis of melanoma, we constructed RIG-I knockout, RIG-I -overexpressing B16-F10 and RIG-I knockdown A375 melanoma cell lines, and analyzed the RIG-I-mediated change in the biological behavior of tumor cells in spontaneous and poly (I:C)-induced RIG-I activation. Cell proliferation, cell cycling, apoptosis and migration were detected by CCK-8 assay, BrdU incorporation assay, Annexin V–PI staining assay and Transwell assay, respectively. In vivo tumorigenicity was evaluated by tumor xenograft growth in nude mice and subsequently by Ki67 staining and TUNEL assays. Furthermore, Western blotting was utilized to explore the underlying mechanism of RIG-I in melanoma cells. Our data showed that RIG-I promotes apoptosis and inhibits proliferation by G1 phase cell cycle arrest in the melanoma cell lines. Mechanistically, RIG-I induced the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and MAPK kinases MKK3 and MKK4. In conclusion, the current study demonstrated that RIG-I suppressed the development of melanoma by regulating the activity of the MKK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway, which is relevant to research on novel therapeutic targets for this malignant disease.

The effects of Ni availability on H 2 production and N 2 fixation in a model unicellular diazotroph: The expression of hydrogenase and nitrogenase - Hsin‐Ting Li; Sing‐How Tuo; Mei‐Chen Lu; Tung‐Yuan Ho (Limnology and Oceanography, 2022)
We investigated the effects of Ni concentration on hydrogen (H 2 ) net production and nitrogen (N 2 ) fixation rates in a model unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacterium, Cyanothece . We quantified NiFe uptake hydrogenase of the diazotroph to examine how Ni deficiency affects the expression of hydrogenase and nitrogenase and N 2 fixation rates. We found that Ni availability controls its H 2 net production and the expression of HupL, the major subunit of the uptake hydrogenase. Low Ni availability induced low HupL expression levels while yielding high H 2 net production, and vice versa. We also identified the threshold range of Ni concentrations that may differentiate low and high H 2 net production patterns in the diazotroph. However, the substantial variations in Ni availability and H 2 net production did not affect nitrogenase expression and N 2 fixation rates in Cyanothece . From two independent studies in the Atlantic tropical and subtropical oceans, we found that dissolved Ni concentrations and H 2 oversaturation percentage exhibited a statistically significant negative correlation, which is consistent with the findings of this culture study. Overall, these results indicate that Ni availability may affect H 2 net production and concentrations in the euphotic zone of the oceanic regions. H 2 concentrations may be used as a promising proxy to reflect N 2 fixation activities in tropical and subtropical oceans only under Ni‐deficient conditions.

Effect of Culture Period and Stocking Density on Input Demand and Scale Economies of Milkfish (Chanos chanos) Polycultures with White Shrimp (Penaeus indicus) - Wei-Tse Pai; Christian Schafferer; Jie-Min Lee; Li-Ming Ho; Yung-Hsiang Lu; Han-Chung Yang; Chun-Yuan Yeh (Fishes, 2022)
Milkfish, Chanos chanos, is one of the major inland cultured fish species in Taiwan. Variations in land resources and climate have led to the application of two distinct culture practices of milkfish polycultures with white shrimp, Penaeus indicus. This study applies a translog cost function model to analyze the production scale economy and input demand price elasticity of four milkfish polyculture systems with two different culture periods (OWC and NOWC) and two different white shrimp–milkfish fry stocking ratios (low SMR: 10–55 fry/ha; high SMR: 56–100 fry/ha). The findings show that the four milkfish polyculture systems require different operational adjustments to increase production while reducing the average culture cost. More specifically, overwinter cultures (OWC) have economies of scale. Farmers may reduce the average cost by expanding the production scale. Non-overwinter polycultures (NOWC) with high SMR are at the stage of decreasing return to scale, meaning that gains in output of milkfish cannot reduce the average cost. In terms of input factor use, farmers of OWC systems with high SMR are sensitive to fluctuations in the fry price since fry constitutes the input factor exhibiting the highest own-price elasticity. Moreover, fry and feed of OWC households with high SMR have high levels of substitutability, whereas fry and other input exhibit substitutability in OWC systems with low SMR. In NOWC farming households with high SMR, fry and capital have substitutability. It is thus recommended to modify the input factor use according to the culture mode and the white shrimp–milkfish stocking density ratio. Moreover, the study found that NOWCs have considerably higher SMR than OWCs, which may lead to a deterioration of the water quality in NOWC fishponds and lower survival rates. It is thus recommended to reduce the SMR to 31:1 to achieve economies of scale in production and increase the survival rate of milkfish and white shrimp.

Culture Enrichment Combined With Long-Read Sequencing Facilitates Genomic Understanding of Hadal Sediment Microbes - Huan Wang; Meng Wang; Shen Fan; Jie Lu; Yi Lan; Menggong Li; Jiangyan Li; Rulong Liu; Jin Sun; Jiasong Fang; Pei-Yuan Qian; Yu-Zhong Zhang; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Culture enrichment was developed to discover the uncharted microbial species in the environmental microbiota. Yet this strategy has not been widely used to study microbes of deep-sea environments. Here, we report the cultivation and metagenomic analysis of oceanic sediment microbiota collected from 6,477 m deep in the Mariana Trench. The sediment samples were cultured anaerobically in the laboratory for 4 months, before being subjected to full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing using the PacBio technique and metagenome sequencing using both the Illumina and Oxford Nanopore techniques. The 16S rRNA gene analyses revealed 437 operational taxonomic units specific to the cultured microbes, despite the lower diversity of the cultured microbiota in comparison with the original. Metagenome analyses revealed the prevalence of functions related to respiration, energy production, and stress response in the cultured microbes, suggesting these functions may contribute to microbial proliferation under laboratory conditions. Binning of the assembled metagenome contigs of the cultured microbiota generated four nearly complete genomes affiliated to yet unclassified species under the genera Alcanivorax , Idiomarina , Sulfitobacter , and Erythrobacter . Excepting Alcanivorax , the other three genera were almost undetectable in the original samples and largely enriched in the cultured samples. The four genomes possessed a variety of genes for carbohydrate utilization and nitrite reduction, pointing to an ability to respire diverse carbon sources using nitrite as the final electron acceptor. Taken together, the findings suggest that a combination of culture enrichment and long-read sequencing is an ideal way to mine novel microbial species in the hadal environment, particularly species that are rare in their native environmental niches, and thus expand our understanding of the hadal microbial diversity and function.

Dynamic evolution of eukaryotic mitochondrial and nuclear genomes: a case study in the gourmet pine mushroom Tricholoma matsutake - Shu Zhang; Xue Bai; Li‐Yuan Ren; Hui‐Hui Sun; Hui‐Ping Tang; Lu‐Min Vaario; Jianping Xu; Yong‐Jie Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Fungi, as eukaryotic organisms, contain two genomes, the mitochondrial genome and the nuclear genome, in their cells. How the two genomes evolve and correlate to each other is debated. Herein, taking the gourmet pine mushroom Tricholoma matsutake as an example, we performed comparative mitogenomic analysis using samples collected from diverse locations and compared the evolution of the two genomes. The T. matsutake mitogenome encodes 49 genes and is rich of repetitive and non‐coding DNAs. Six genes were invaded by up to 11 group I introns, with one cox1 intron cox1P372 showing presence/absence dynamics among different samples. Bioinformatic analyses suggested limited or no evidence of mitochondrial heteroplasmy. Interestingly, hundreds of mitochondrial DNA fragments were found in the nuclear genome, with several larger than 500 nt confirmed by PCR assays and read count comparisons, indicating clear evidence of transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome. Nuclear DNA of T. matsutake showed a higher mutation rate than mitochondrial DNA. Furthermore, we found evidence of incongruence between phylogenetic trees derived from mitogenome and nuclear DNA sequences. Together, our results reveal the dynamic genome evolution of the gourmet pine mushroom.

Activation of autophagy reverses gemcitabine-induced immune inhibition of RAW264.7 macrophages by promoting TNF-α, IL-6 and MHC-II expression - Shanshan Jiang; Rong Wang; Lu Han; Kudelaidi Kuerban; Li Ye; Shu Pan; Shengnan Li; Yongfang Yuan (Immunologic Research, 2021)
This research aims to investigate the effect of gemcitabine (GEM) on various activities and functions of macrophages. Phagocytosis, cell autophagy and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analysed by laser scanning confocal microscope. The cell cycle status and major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II) expression were examined by flow cytometry. Inflammatory cytokine secretion such as tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) was detected by Elisa assay. The expression of proteins was analysed by western blot method. The results revealed that GEM-induced immune inhibition of M1-type RAW264.7 macrophages activated by interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We also found that GEM inhibited autophagy, as evidenced by the reduced formation of autophagosome-like vacuoles and autophagosomes. Further study showed that incubation of activated macrophages with the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA induced immune suppression. In contrast, treatment with the autophagy inducer trehalose (Tre) restored phagocytosis, TNF-α and IL-6 secretion, and MHC-II expression in GEM-induced immune-inhibited macrophages. GEM reduced immune effect of M1-type RAW264.7 macrophages via inhibiting TNF-α, IL-6 and MHC-II expression. Furthermore, activation of autophagy by Tre reversed GEM-induced immune inhibition of RAW264.7 macrophages.

(European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2020)
Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus infection pneumonia in Wuhan City, China, in late 2019, such cases have been gradually reported in other parts of China and abroad. Children have become susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) because of their immature immune function. As the outbreak has progressed, more cases of novel coronavirus infection/pneumonia in children have been reported. Compared with adults, the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is less severe, with a lower incidence and susceptibility in children, which results in fewer children being tested, thereby underestimating the actual number of infections. Therefore, strengthening the diagnosis of the disease is particularly important for children, and early and clear diagnosis can determine treatment strategies and reduce the harm caused by the disease to children. According to the Novel Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Standards ( trial version 7 ) issued by National Health Committee and the latest diagnosis and treatment strategies for novel coronavirus infection pneumonia in children, this review summarizes current strategies on diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children.

Analysis of endophytic and rhizosphere bacterial diversity and function in the endangered plant Paeonia ludlowii - Yazhou Lu; Erhao Zhang; Mingsheng Hong; Xiu Yin; Hao Cai; Lei Yuan; Fang Yuan; Lianqiang Li; Kentian Zhao; Xiaozhong Lan (Archives of Microbiology, 2020)
Paeonia ludlowii is indigenous to Tibet and has an important ecological and economic value in China. In Tibet, P. ludlowii has been used in folk medicine with relative success. Plant microbial endophytes play an important role in plant growth, health and ecological function. The diversity of endophytic bacteria associated with P. ludlowii remains poorly understood. In this study, the structure of the endophytic bacterial communities associated with different tissues, including fruits, flowers, leaves, stems, and roots, and rhizosphere soils was analyzed with Illumina MiSeq sequencing of bacterial 16S rDNA. A total of 426,240 sequences and 4847 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained. The OTUs abundance of roots was higher than that of other tissues; however, the OTUs abundance was similar among different deep soil samples. In the plant tissues, Cyanobacteria was the most abundant bacterial phylum, followed by Proteobacteria; however, the most abundant phyla were Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria in soil samples from three different layers. In addition, the diversity and richness of the microorganisms in the soil were very similar to those in roots but higher than those in other tissues of P. ludlowii . Predictive metagenome analysis revealed that endophytic bacteria play critical functional roles in P. ludlowii . This conclusion could facilitate the study of the ecological functions of endophytic bacteria and their interactions with P. ludlowii to analyze the reasons why this important medicinal plant is becoming endangered.

Examining two sets of introgression lines across multiple environments reveals background-independent and stably expressed quantitative trait loci of fiber quality in cotton - Yuzhen Shi; Aiying Liu; Junwen Li; Jinfa Zhang; Shaoqi Li; Jinfeng Zhang; Liujun Ma; Rui He; Weiwu Song; Lixue Guo; Quanwei Lu; Xianghui Xiang; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2020)
Key message Background-independent (BI) and stably expressed (SE) quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified using two sets of introgression lines across multiple environments. Genetic background more greatly affected fiber quality traits than environmental factors. Sixty-one SE-QTLs, including two BI-QTLs, were novel and 48 SE-QTLs, including seven BI-QTLs, were previously reported. Abstract Cotton fiber quality traits are controlled by QTLs and are susceptible to environmental influence. Fiber quality improvement is an essential goal in cotton breeding but is hindered by limited knowledge of the genetic basis of fiber quality traits. In this study, two sets of introgression lines of Gossypium hirsutum × G. barbadense were used to dissect the QTL stability of three fiber quality traits (fiber length, strength and micronaire) across environments using 551 simple sequence repeat markers selected from our high-density genetic map. A total of 76 and 120 QTLs were detected in the CCRI36 and CCRI45 backgrounds, respectively. Nine BI-QTLs were found, and 78 (41.71%) of the detected QTLs were reported previously. Thirty-nine and 79 QTLs were SE-QTLs in at least two environments in the CCRI36 and CCRI45 backgrounds, respectively. Forty-eight SE-QTLs, including seven BI-QTLs, were confirmed in previous reports, and 61 SE-QTLs, including two BI-QTLs, were considered novel. These results indicate that genetic background more strongly impacts on fiber quality traits than environmental factors. Twenty-three clusters with BI- and/or SE-QTLs were identified, 19 of which harbored favorable alleles from G. barbadense for two or three fiber quality traits. This study is the first report using two sets of introgression lines to identify fiber quality QTLs across environments in cotton, providing insights into the effect of genetic backgrounds and environments on the QTL expression of fiber quality and important information for the genetic basis underlying fiber quality traits toward QTL cloning and molecular breeding.
