Effects of land clearing for agriculture on soil organic carbon stocks in drylands: A meta‐analysis - Yuangang Wang; Geping Luo; Chaofan Li; Hui Ye; Haiyang Shi; Binbin Fan; Wenqiang Zhang; Chen Zhang; Mingjuan Xie; Yu Zhang (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Agricultural activities have been expanding globally with the pressure to provide food security to the earth's growing population. These agricultural activities have profoundly impacted soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in global drylands. However, the effects of clearing natural ecosystems for cropland (CNEC) on SOC are uncertain. To improve our understanding of carbon emissions and sequestration under different land uses, it is necessary to characterize the response patterns of SOC stocks to different types of CNEC. We conducted a meta‐analysis with mixed‐effect model based on 873 paired observations of SOC in croplands and adjacent natural ecosystems from 159 individual studies in global drylands. Our results indicate that CNEC significantly ( p p −1 ). The results derived from our meta‐analysis could be used for refining the estimation of dryland carbon dynamics and developing SOC sequestration strategies to achieve the removal of CO 2 from the atmosphere.

5300‐Year‐old soil carbon is less primed than young soil organic matter - Jiao Su; Haiyang Zhang; Xingguo Han; Ruofei Lv; Li Liu; Yong Jiang; Hui Li; Yakov Kuzyakov; Cunzheng Wei (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Soils harbor more than three times as much carbon (C) as the atmosphere, a large fraction of which (stable organic matter) serves as the most important global C reservoir due to its long residence time. Litter and root inputs bring fresh organic matter (FOM) into the soil and accelerate the turnover of stable C pools, and this phenomenon is termed the “priming effect” (PE). Compared with knowledge about labile soil C pools, very little is known about the vulnerability of stable C to priming. Using two soils that substantially differed in age (500 and 5300 years before present) and in the degree of chemical recalcitrance and physical protection of soil organic matter (SOM), we showed that leaf litter amendment primed 264% more organic C from the young SOM than from the old soil with very stable C. Hierarchical partitioning analysis confirmed that SOM stability, reflected mainly by available C and aggregate protection of SOM, is the most important predictor of leaf litter‐induced PE. The addition of complex FOM (i.e., leaf litter) caused a higher bacterial oligotroph/copiotroph ( K ‐/ r ‐strategists) ratio, leading to a PE that was 583% and 126% greater than when simple FOM (i.e., glucose) was added to the young and old soils, respectively. This implies that the PE intensity depends on the chemical similarity between the primer (here FOM) and SOM. Nitrogen (N) mining existed when N and simple FOM were added (i.e., Glucose+N), and N addition raised the leaf litter‐induced PE in the old soil that had low N availability, which was well explained by the microbial stoichiometry. In conclusion, the PE induced by FOM inputs strongly decreases with increasing SOM stability. However, the contribution of stable SOM to CO 2 efflux cannot be disregarded due to its huge pool size.

Warming reduced flowering synchrony and extended community flowering season in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau - Yaya Chen; Scott L. Collins; Yunpeng Zhao; Tianwu Zhang; Xiangrong Yang; Hang An; Guorui Hu; Chunming Xin; Juan Zhou; Xiongjie Sheng; Mingrui He; Panhong Zhang; et al. (Ecology, 2023)
The timing of phenological events is highly sensitive to climate change, and may influence ecosystem structure and function. Although changes in flowering phenology among species under climate change have been reported widely, how species‐specific shifts will affect phenological synchrony and community‐level phenology patterns remains unclear. We conducted a manipulative experiment of warming and precipitation addition and reduction to explore how climate change affected flowering phenology at the species and community levels in an alpine meadow on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. We found that warming advanced the first and last flowering times differently and with no consistent shifts in flowering duration among species, resulting in the entire flowering period of species emerging earlier in the growing season. Early‐flowering species were more sensitive to warming than mid‐ and late‐flowering species, thereby reducing flowering synchrony among species and extending the community‐level flowering season. However, precipitation and its interactions with warming had no significant effects on flowering phenology. Our results suggest that temperature regulates flowering phenology from the species to community levels in this alpine meadow community, yet how species shifted their flowering timing and duration in response to warming varied. This species‐level divergence may reshape flowering phenology in this alpine plant community. Decreasing flowering synchrony among species and the extension of community‐level flowering seasons under warming may alter future trophic interactions, with cascading consequences to community and ecosystem function.

Diverse variations in middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere spring phenology sensitivity to diurnal temperature during 1982–2015 - Guorong Deng; Hongyan Zhang; Jianjun Zhao; Xiaoyi Guo; Ehsan Biniyaz; Hang Zhao; Dan Guo; Rihan Wu; Hui Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Recent studies have revealed that the influence of diurnal temperature on spring phenology is asymmetric, and the faster night‐time warming in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) has a complex impact on spring phenology. Our understanding from the sensitivity of the start of the growing season (SOS) to daytime (S T _daytime) and night‐time temperatures (S T _night‐time) has urgently needs to be improved. In this study, the SOS sensitivity to diurnal temperature in the middle and high latitudes of the NH (>30°N) from 1982 to 2015 is estimated. The results indicate that although SOS showed stronger sensitivity to daytime than night‐time temperature in most parts of the study areas, the influence of daytime temperature on SOS is decreasing, while the influence of night‐time temperature on SOS is increasing. The variations in S T _daytime and S T _night‐time along the latitude gradient were significantly correlated with the warming rate of the preseason diurnal temperature ( p T _night‐time was higher than S T _daytime at other latitudes due to topography and rapid night‐time warming. On the altitude gradient, the SOS was more sensitive to daytime temperature in areas below 800 and 2,000–4,000 m. S T _night‐time exceeded S T _daytime at other altitudes owing to night‐time warming relief of the severe restrictions on phenological processes and the reduction in frost risk. To reach a comprehensive characterization of the interaction between vegetation and climate systems, the current study suggests more investigation on the response of SOS to diurnal temperature on large scales.

The dose-dependent effect of 1.5-GHz microwave exposure on spatial memory and the NMDAR pathway in Wistar rats - Hui Wang; Lequan Song; Li Zhao; Haoyu Wang; Xinping Xu; Ji Dong; Jing Zhang; Binwei Yao; Xuelong Zhao; Ruiyun Peng (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
A certain power of microwave radiation could cause changes in the nervous, cardiovascular, and other systems of the body, and the brain was a sensitive target organ of microwave radiation injury. Studies have shown that microwaves can impair cognitive functions in humans and animals, such as learning and memory, attention, and orientation. The dose-dependent effect of microwave radiation is still unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of 1.5-GHz microwaves with different average power densities on locative learning and memory abilities, hippocampal structure, and related N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) signalling pathway proteins in rats. A total number of 140 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: S group (sham exposure), L5 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 5 mW/cm 2 ), L30 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 30 mW/cm 2 ), and L50 group (1.5-GHz microwaves with average power density = 50 mW/cm 2 ). Changes in spatial learning and memory, EEG activity, hippocampal structure, and NMDAR signalling pathway molecules were detected from 6 h to 28 d after microwave exposure. After exposure to 1.5-GHz microwaves, rats in the L30 and L50 groups showed impaired spatial memory, inhibited EEG activity, pyknosis and hyperchromatism of neuron nucleus, and changes in NMDAR subunits and downstream signalling molecules. In conclusion, 1.5-GHz microwaves with an average power density of 5, 30, and 50 mW/cm 2 could induce spatial memory dysfunction, hippocampal structure changes, and changes in protein levels in rats, and there was a defined dose-dependent effect.

Contrasting effects of altered precipitation regimes on soil nitrogen cycling at the global scale - Qiqian Wu; Kai Yue; Yuandan Ma; Petr Heděnec; Yanjiang Cai; Jian Chen; Hui Zhang; Junjiong Shao; Scott X. Chang; Yan Li (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Changes in precipitation regimes can strongly affect soil nitrogen (N) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, whether altered precipitation regimes may differentially affect soil N cycling between arid and humid biomes at the global scale is unclear. We conducted a meta‐analysis using 1036 pairwise observations collected from 194 publications to assess the effects of increased and decreased precipitation on the input (N return from plants), storage (various forms of N in soil), and output (gaseous N emissions) of soil N in arid versus humid biomes at the global scale. We found that (1) increased precipitation significantly increased N input (+12.1%) and output (+34.9%) but decreased N storage (−13.7%), while decreased precipitation significantly decreased N input (−10.7%) and output (−34.8%) but increased N storage (+11.1%); (2) the sensitivity of soil N cycling to increased precipitation was higher in arid regions than in humid regions, while that to decreased precipitation was lower in arid regions than in humid regions; (3) the effect of altered precipitation regimes on soil N cycling was independent of precipitation type (i.e., rainfall vs. snowfall); and (4) the mean annual precipitation regulated soil N cycling in precipitation alteration experiments at the global scale. Overall, our results clearly show that the response of soil N cycling to increased versus decreased precipitation differs between arid and humid regions, indicating the uneven effect of climate change on soil N cycling between these two contrasting climate regions. This implies that ecosystem models need to consider the differential responses of N cycling to altered precipitation regimes in different climatic conditions under future global change scenarios.

Modal Identification of Structures by Eliminating the Effect of the High Ocean Wind - Chun-Xu Qu; Chang-Chong Liu; Xiao-Mei Yang; Hui-Juan Liu; Hong-Nan Li; Yu-Feng Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system with severe excitation such as high wind. This severe excitation may change the performance of structures, such as bridges, wharves and wind turbine structures. It is very necessary to monitor this important change. Modal parameters are the ones to reflect the structural instinct behavior. However, many identification methods assume that the excitation is white noise, which is not the truth during high ocean wind excitation. Therefore, the modal identification method to deal with severe ocean wind excitation should be investigated. This paper proposes an innovative method to eliminate the effect of high ocean wind on modal identification. The formulation to generate an impulse response is described, where the effect of high wind is pointed. Then the elimination method is derived using the wind velocity spectrum and correlation function. After the wind field is simulated, the wind velocities and spectra at all accelerometer positions are obtained. The real impulse response form is obtained. Then, modal identification using the real impulse response is performed. Finally, a practical cable-stayed bridge is employed and modal identification is performed. The results show that the identified modes can reflect structural real behavior.

Variation in the attached community structure and function of artificial habitats during ecological succession: A case study of the artificial reef area in Bailong Pearl Bay, China - Ruolin Li; Yu Guo; Ankai Zhang; Shuo Zhang; Hui Zhang; Chuanxin Qin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
With the continuous development of ports, ship transportation, resource extraction and artificial habitat deployment, an increasing number of artificial structures have created new usable spaces for marine organisms, and the biological communities living on their surfaces have undergone ecological succession. However, related studies have ignored ecological functions, interspecific relationships, and stability in different successional stages. Based on traditional taxonomy, this study applied functional diversity, niche overlap and niche breadth indexes to compare the attached organisms on artificial reefs (ARs) with different construction times in Bailong Pearl Bay, Fangchenggang City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. The change trends of richness, habitat resource supply, resource utilization degree and efficiency, and interspecific relationships during the succession process were analysed. The results indicated that richness increased with functional diversity. While the number of species increased, the attached organisms showed different functional characteristics, and the number of species with identical traits decreased. The attached community in the later stage of development had a higher degree of utilization of ecological space, more comprehensive and efficient utilization of effective resources, a stronger degree of complementarity of organismal niches, and weaker interspecific competition. In the early stage of the developmental process, the attached community was affected by more environmental factors and had very significant correlations with those factors. The combination of the niche overlap index and the niche breadth index indicated that the resource supply supporting the survival and development of the attached organisms on the ARs with earlier construction times may be greater. The decrease in the number of biomarkers, the similarity of biomarkers belonging to the same family, and the similarity of dominance alternation all indicated that during the process of long-term development and community succession, the organisms attached to the various parts of the ARs tended to become more similar.

IGFBP2 function as a novel biomarker for active lupus nephritis - Hui Li; Jun Liang; Yingying Gao; Min Liu; Nan Xia; Wei Kong; Lisha Zheng; Yikun Zhang; Zutong Li; Hongwei Chen; Shanshan Liu; Lingyun Sun (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
In search for new targets for the diagnosis and treatment of lupus nephritis (LN), we employed TMT-liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (TMT-LC–MS/MS) combined with RNA-seq and identified a panel of proteins that was dysregulated both at protein level and mRNA level in active LN patients compared with healthy controls. We chose to study the role of IGFBP2 since it is a relatively understudied protein in the context of LN. We further validated that IGFBP2 significantly increased and correlated with SLE activity index in active LN patients. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve suggested that plasma IGFBP2 had a high diagnostic efficiency for distinguishing between inactive and active LN patients (AUC = 0.992; 95% CI = 0.974–1.000; P < 0.001). We demonstrated neutralizing IGFBP2-downregulated CD4 + T cell activation, upregulated the ratio of Treg, downregulated AKT/mTOR/4E-BP1 pathway, and significantly improved nephritis in MRL/lpr mice. In all, our work demonstrated IGFBP2 as a biomarker specific for active LN and blocking IGFBP2 could be a new target for treating LN. Key messages Plasma IGFBP2 is a promising diagnostic marker for distinguishing stable LN from active LN, and it is also a predictor for the poor prognosis of LN. Blockade of IGFBP2 can significantly improve the pathological damage of LN. IGFBP2 may regulate activation of CD4 + T and Treg ratio. Neutralizing IGFBP2 downregulates AKT/mTOR/4E-BP1 pathway.

Purpose To evaluate the potential ethnic differences of ferric pyrophosphate citrate (FPC, Triferic) in healthy subjects and patients with hemodialysis-dependent stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD-5HD) and identify covariates that may influence pharmacokinetics (PK) of FPC. Methods Data were collected from 2 Asian and 4 non-Asian clinical studies involving healthy subjects and CKD-5HD patients. Three population PK models were developed: M1 for intravenous (IV) administration of FPC in healthy subjects; M2 for dialysate administration of FPC in CKD-5HD patients; M3 for pre-dialyzer administration of FPC in CKD-5HD patients. All the models were fitted to concentration versus time data of FPC using the nonlinear mixed effect approach with the NONMEM ® program. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4. Results In total, 26 Asians and 65 non-Asians were included in the final model analysis database. Forty healthy subjects were administered FPC via intravenous (IV) route and 51 patients with CKD-5HD via dialysate ( N = 50) and pre-dialyzer blood circuit administration ( N = 51). The PK parameters of FPC IV were similar. The population PK model showed good parameter precision and reliability as shown by model evaluation, and no relevant influence of ethnicity on PK parameters was observed. In healthy subjects, the maximum observed plasma concentration (C max ) and area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) decreased with increase in lean body mass (LBM) and the average serum total iron at 6 h before the baseline period (Fe av ), whereas, in both patient populations, C max and AUC decreased with increase in LBM and decrease in Fe baseline . Other factors such as gender, age, Fe av , and ethnicity had no influence on PK exposures in patients. The influence of LBM on PK exposures in patients was smaller than that in healthy subjects (ratio of AUC 0-24 for the 5th [68 kg] and 95th [45 kg] patient’s LBM was almost 1). The influence of Fe av and LBM on PK exposures was < 50%. Conclusion The population pharmacokinetics model successfully described the PK parameters of FPC in healthy subjects and CKD-5HD patients and were comparable between Asian and non-Asian populations.

Coastal aquaculture farms for the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus provide spawning and first-year nursery grounds for wild black rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii: A case study from the Luanhe River estuary, Bohai bay, the Bohai Sea, China - Min Xu; Zun-li Qi; Zun-lei Liu; Wei-min Quan; Qi Zhao; Yun-ling Zhang; Hui Liu; Lin-lin Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Aquaculture farms are known to attract wild organisms from nearby areas. Sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus aquaculture farms in Bohai Bay, the Bohai Sea, China, might provide spawning and nursery grounds for wild black rockfish Sebastes schlegelii populations. To identify the above, we studied the variation in the numbers of S. schlegelii larvae (and length-categories as a percentage of the natural population) via ichthyoplankton surveys by months from January to October 2020, and assessed the food web structure and energy flow distribution of the farm and trophic links of S. schlegelii natural stock by using Ecopath modeling in July 2016 to August 2017. Larvae with a length between 3.90-5.80 mm were observed in the farm in May 2020, the juveniles with an estimated trophic level of 4.31. Juveniles used the farms as first-year nursery ground, and then they swam into deeper waters in August of the following year. MTI analysis showed increasing biomass of S. schlegelii might result in a decrease in the biomass of crustacea, and had positive and negative impacts on mollusk and Hexagrammos otakii biomass. We argued that aquacultural infrastructures constructed by artificial reefs could be used as a fisheries management tool to enhance S. schlegelii stocks and that monitoring of other marine organisms, such as oysters, Rapana venosa , Charybdis japonica , and Asterias spp. etc., was necessary to maintain sustainable exploitations of aquacultural farm ecosystems. A paucity of knowledge surrounding the interactions between aquaculture farms and wild organisms needs furthermore researches.

Insights into adaptive divergence of Japanese mantis shrimp Oratosquilla oratoria inferred from comparative analysis of full-length transcriptomes - Jiao Cheng; Liwen Zhang; Min Hui; Yuan Li; Zhongli Sha (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The heterogeneous seascapes in the northwestern Pacific (NWP) can be important selective forces driving adaptive divergence of marine coastal species distributed along the gradients. Here, we tested this hypothesis in Japanese mantis shrimp ( Oratosquilla oratoria ) with a wide distribution in the NWP and a significant north-south population structure. To this end, the full-length (FL) transcriptomes of northern and southern O. oratoria were firstly sequenced using PacBio single molecule real-time sequencing technology. Based on the FL transcriptome data, we captured large-scale FL transcripts of O. oratoria and predicted the FL transcriptome structure, including coding region, transcription factor and long noncoding RNA. To reveal the divergence between northern and southern O. oratoria , we identified 2,182 pairs of orthologous genes and inferred their sequence divergences. The average differences in coding, 5’ untranslated and 3’ untranslated region were 1.44%, 2.79% and 1.46%, respectively, providing additional support to previous proposition that northern and southern O. oratoria are two species. We provided further evolutionary context to our analysis by identifying positive selected genes (PSGs) between northern and southern O. oratoria . In total, 98 orthologs were found evolving under positive selection and involved several environmentally responsive genes associated with stress response, immunity and cytoskeletal organization, etc. Furthermore, we found PSGs also diverged in gene expression response of northern and southern O. oratoria to heat stress. These findings not only highlight the importance of genetic variation in these genes in adapting to environmental changes in O. oratoria , but also suggest that natural selection may act on the plasticity of gene expression to facilitate O. oratoria adaptation to environmental gradients. Overall, our work contributes to understanding how marine coastal species has evolved to adapt to heterogeneous seascapes in the NWP.

Canagliflozin mitigates ferroptosis and ameliorates heart failure in rats with preserved ejection fraction - Sai Ma; Li-Li He; Guo-Rui Zhang; Qing-Juan Zuo; Zhong-Li Wang; Jian-Long Zhai; Ting-Ting Zhang; Yan Wang; Hui-Juan Ma; Yi-Fang Guo (Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2022)
Recently, hypoglycemic drugs belonging to sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have generated significant interest due to their clear cardiovascular benefits for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) since there are no effective drugs that may improve clinical outcomes for these patients over a prolonged period. But, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, particularly its effects on ferroptosis, a newly defined mechanism of iron-dependent non-apoptotic cell death during heart failure (HF). Here, with proteomics, we demonstrated that ferroptosis might be a key mechanism in a rat model of high-salt diet-induced HFpEF, characterized by iron overloading and lipid peroxidation, which was blocked following treatment with canagliflozin. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD029031. The ferroptosis was evaluated with the levels of acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4, glutathione peroxidase 4, ferritin heavy chain 1, transferrin receptor, Ferroportin 1, iron, glutathione, malondialdehyde, and 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal. These findings highlight the fact that targeting ferroptosis may serve as a cardioprotective strategy for HFpEF prevention and suggest that canagliflozin may exert its cardiovascular benefits partly via its mitigation of ferroptosis.

Relationship between summer extreme precipitation anomaly in Central Asia and surface sensible heat variation on the Central-Eastern Tibetan Plateau - Hui Wang; Jie Zhang; Lian Chen; Dongliang Li (Climate Dynamics, 2022)
In the context of global warming, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather and climate events have increased, especially in Central Asia (CA). In this study, we investigate the characteristics of summer extreme precipitation (SEP) in CA and its relationship with the surface sensible heat (SSH) variation over the central–eastern Tibetan Plateau (CETP). The results suggest that the distribution of SEP in CA is extremely uneven, and the SEP thresholds range from 2 to 32 mm/day, and 80% of them are concentrated in 4–10 mm/day. Both the total amount of SEP and the number of SEP days show significant increasing trends, with the climatic tendencies of 4.4 mm/decade and 0.4 day/decade, respectively. The SSH anomalies over the CETP can affect the SEP and summer drought in CA by regulating the strength of South Asia High (SAH) and the subtropical jet over CA. The strong SSH anomalies over the CETP in late spring (April–May) can be transmitted from the lower to the upper layers through the continuous heating to the atmosphere and lead to the anomalously strong subtropical high over northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, the anomalously weak subtropical westerly jet over CA and the anomalously strong SAH in summer. At the same time, the Ural ridge strengthens, the CA trough weakens, and the northern CA is controlled by an anomaly of warm high-pressure ridge. Therefore, the anomaly of water vapor convergence in northern CA weakens. The SEP there will be abnormally less, and the summer drought intensifies. When the SSH over CETP is anomalously weak in late spring, the key circulations are just the opposite. Furthermore, the anomalous water vapor from the Arctic, North Atlantic and western Pacific converges in northern CA and northern Xinjiang, China, which is conducive to the generation of widespread extreme precipitation and the alleviation of summer drought in these regions.

Study on the Mechanical Properties of Silty Clay Sediments with Nodular Hydrate Occurrence - Cheng Lu; Pengfei Xie; Hui Li; Xuhui Zhang; Xiaobing Lu; Bin Zhang; Ziqin Zhang; Xuwen Qin; Shuai Zhang; Hang Bian (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Natural gas hydrates are a strategic energy resource in China. The China Geological Survey has discovered segregated hydrate mass formations under the seepage mechanism in the South China Sea through exploration, and gas hydrates occur in nodular, massive, and vein formations in silty clay sediment. Previous work has focused on the analysis of sediment mechanical properties with respect to the uniform distribution of natural gas hydrates in pore spaces, but the mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments containing segregated hydrate masses are not well understood. Spherical hydrates are used to characterize nodular hydrates, a method is proposed for the preparation of sediment samples containing segregated hydrates masses, and a series of triaxial compression tests are carried out on the samples containing spherical hydrates with two kinds of particle sizes at a certain volume fraction. The paper presents triaxial stress–strain curves for the samples containing spherical hydrates. A model for predicting elastic modulus is established. The results present two distinct stages in the triaxial compression tests of silty clay sediments containing spherical hydrates; they also show that the elastic moduli predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental results when the model parameters are set at α = 0.5 and β = −0.21. These results provide fundamental mechanical parameters for the safety evaluation of strata containing segregated gas hydrates.

Systematic contributions of CFEM domain‐containing proteins to iron acquisition are essential for interspecies interaction of the filamentous pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana - Yue‐Jin Peng; Jia Hou; Hao Zhang; Jia‐Hui Lei; Hai‐Yan Lin; Jin‐Li Ding; Ming‐Guang Feng; Sheng‐Hua Ying (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Common in fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain is unique in fungal proteins and some of which contribute to iron acquisition in yeast. However, their roles in iron acquisition remain largely unknown in filamentous fungi. In this study, 12 CFEM‐containing proteins were bioinformatically identified in the filamentous entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana , and the roles of 11 genes were genetically characterized. Transmembrane helices were critical for their association with intracellular membranes, and their number varied among proteins. Eleven CFEM genes significantly contribute to vegetative growth under iron starvation and virulence. Notably, the virulence of most disruptants could be significantly weakened by a decrease in iron availability, in which the virulence of Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 strains was partially recovered by exogenous hemin. Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 mutants displayed defective competitiveness against the sister entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii . All 11 disruptants displayed impaired growth in the antagonistic assay with the saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus niger , which could be repressed by exogenous ferric ions. These findings not only reveal the systematic contributions of CFEM proteins to acquire two forms of iron (i.e. heme and ferric ion) in the entire lifecycle of entomopathogenic fungi but also help to better understand the mechanisms of fungus–host and inter–fungus interactions.

Research on an Extensible Monitoring System of a Seafloor Observatory Network in Laizhou Bay - Jie Chen; Hailin Liu; Bin Lv; Chao Liu; Xiaonan Zhang; Hui Li; Lin Cao; Junhe Wan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
An extensible remote monitoring system for a seafloor observatory network in Laizhou Bay was established to realize long-term, continuous and on-line monitoring for a marine ranching environment. This paper deals with data communication, device management and data quality control. A control model is introduced that is structured into four layers, enabling bidirectional information flow. Based on the control model, the standardized communication protocol and device object model-oriented dynamic management method are designed as plug-and-play, for data processing and control of a large number of devices. An improved data quality control method is proposed to reduce the data error rate. The monitoring system was developed based on socket network programming, MySQL database technologies and modular ideas. The seafloor observatory network was successfully deployed in Laizhou Bay marine ranching. The experimental results demonstrate that the monitoring system obtains better performance. The proposed algorithms can also be used in many other similar systems with adaptive requirements.

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.

Otolith Marking With Strontium for Stock Assessment in Coilia nasus - Ming-Zhi Liu; Ri-jin Jiang; Hui Zhang; Fan Yang; Xia-Fang Li; Guang-Peng Feng; Rui Yin; Feng Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Mass stock enhancement and release are excellent ways to recover Coilia nasus resources. However, it is challenging to evaluate stock enhancement effectively, and it is important to establish a method suitable for estimating C. nasus populations. We explored the effectiveness of marking otoliths in these fish with strontium by immersing C. nasus in hexahydrate strontium chloride solutions. We used laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to measure the strontium content of otoliths and fish bodies. The larvae (40 d post hatch) were reared in five different concentrations of strontium (0, 12, 24, 48, and 60 mg/L) for 7 d, followed by treatment in non-additive water for 3 wk. The results showed that the cumulative mortality rate was not significantly different between treatment and control groups ( P >0.05), except in the group treated with 24 mg/L strontium. The swimming and feeding behaviors did not change significantly, indicating that strontium did not negatively affect survival in this species. The strontium/calcium ratios of otoliths in the control group were stable (1.78–2.32 mmol/mol), whereas those of the experimental (marked) groups ranged widely (4.47–61.02 mmol/mol). The strontium/calcium ratios increased with increasing strontium concentration, but gradually returned to baseline values, resulting in a 100% success rate of marking with strontium. Following immersion in 12 mg/L strontium, strontium levels in the body returned to normal after 24 d. In summary, a treatment of 12 mg/L strontium for 4 d was identified as viable for marking. We confirmed the feasibility of strontium marking for the mass marking and release of C. nasus . This marking method does not affect the physiology of the fish and may provide a new approach for reasonable and scientific stock assessment of C. nasus post hatch.

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.

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.

Increased precipitation and nitrogen addition accelerate the temporal increase in soil respiration during 8‐year old‐field grassland succession - Jiajia Zhang; Jingyi Ru; Jian Song; Heng Li; Xiaoming Li; Yafei Ma; Zheng Li; Yuanfeng Hao; Zhensheng Chi; Dafeng Hui; Shiqiang Wan (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Ecological succession after disturbance plays a vital role in influencing ecosystem structure and functioning. However, how global change factors regulate ecosystem carbon (C) cycling in successional plant communities remains largely elusive. As part of an 8‐year (2012–2019) manipulative experiment, this study was designed to examine the responses of soil respiration and its heterotrophic component to simulated increases in precipitation and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition in an old‐field grassland undergoing secondary succession. Over the 8‐year experimental period, increased precipitation stimulated soil respiration by 11.6%, but did not affect soil heterotrophic respiration. Nitrogen addition increased both soil respiration (5.1%) and heterotrophic respiration (6.2%). Soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration linearly increased with time in the control plots, resulting from changes in soil moisture and shifts of plant community composition from grass–forb codominance to grass dominance in this old‐field grassland. Compared to the control, increased precipitation significantly strengthened the temporal increase in soil respiration through stimulating belowground net primary productivity. By contrast, N addition accelerated temporal increases in both soil respiration and its heterotrophic component by driving plant community shifts and thus stimulating soil organic C. Our findings indicate that increases in water and N availabilities may accelerate soil C release during old‐field grassland succession and reduce their potential positive impacts on soil C accumulation under future climate change scenarios.

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.

Kai-Xin-San Inhibits Tau Pathology and Neuronal Apoptosis in Aged SAMP8 Mice - Ya-Nan Jiao; Jing-Sheng Zhang; Wen-Jun Qiao; Shu-Yu Tian; Yi-Bin Wang; Chun-Yan Wang; Yan-Hui Zhang; Qi Zhang; Wen Li; Dong-Yu Min; Zhan-You Wang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurological disorder. Currently, there is no effective cure for AD due to its complexity in pathogenesis. In light of the complex pathogenesis of AD, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Kai-Xin-San (KXS), which was used for amnesia treatment, has been proved to improve cognitive function in AD animal models. However, the active ingredients and the mechanism of KXS have not yet been clearly elucidated. In this study, network pharmacology analysis predicts that KXS yields 168 candidate compounds acting on 863 potential targets, 30 of which are associated with AD. Enrichment analysis revealed that the therapeutic mechanisms of KXS for AD are associated with the inhibition of Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, inflammation, and apoptosis. Therefore, we chose 7-month-old senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice as AD mouse model, which harbors the behavioral and pathological hallmarks of AD. Subsequently, the potential underlying action mechanisms of KXS on AD predicted by the network pharmacology analyses were experimentally validated in SAMP8 mice after intragastric administration of KXS for 3 months. We observed that KXS upregulated AKT phosphorylation, suppressed GSK3β and CDK5 activation, and inhibited the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to attenuate Tau hyperphosphorylation and neuroinflammation, thus suppressing neuronal apoptosis and improving the cognitive impairment of aged SAMP8 mice. Taken together, our findings reveal a multi-component and multi-target therapeutic mechanism of KXS for attenuating the progression of AD, contributing to the future development of TCM modernization, including KXS, and broader clinical application.

(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Northern snakehead, Channa argus ( C. argus ), is an important economic and ecological fish species. The wild population of the species was sharply declined in the last decade. A high-quality reference genome could lay a solid foundation for the genetic and conservation studies for C. argus . In this work, we report a chromosomal genome assembly with PacBio and Hi-C technology using the albino northern snakehead, a color variety of C. argus . A 644.1-Mb genome with 24 chromosomes was obtained with a contig and scaffold N50 of 11.78 and 27.8 Mb, respectively. We inferred that C. argus diverged from A. testudineus around 85.6 million years ago. 514 expanded gene families and 214 positively selected genes were identified in the C. argus genome. The chromosome-level genome provides a valuable high-quality genomic resource for population, as well as genetic and evolutionary studies for C. argus and other species in Channidae.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex Mediates Hyperalgesia and Anxiety Induced by Chronic Pancreatitis in Rats - Dan Ren; Jia-Ni Li; Xin-Tong Qiu; Fa-Ping Wan; Zhen-Yu Wu; Bo-Yuan Fan; Ming-Ming Zhang; Tao Chen; Hui Li; Yang Bai; Yun-Qing Li (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Central sensitization is essential in maintaining chronic pain induced by chronic pancreatitis (CP), but cortical modulation of painful CP remains elusive. Here, we examined the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the pathogenesis of abdominal hyperalgesia in a rat model of CP induced by intraductal administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). TNBS treatment resulted in long-term abdominal hyperalgesia and anxiety in rats. Morphological data indicated that painful CP induced a significant increase in FOS-expressing neurons in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and ACC, and some FOS-expressing neurons in the NTS projected to the ACC. In addition, a larger portion of ascending fibers from the NTS innervated pyramidal neurons, the neural subpopulation primarily expressing FOS under the condition of painful CP, rather than GABAergic neurons within the ACC. CP rats showed increased expression of vesicular glutamate transporter 1, and increased membrane trafficking and phosphorylation of the N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunit NR2B and the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunit GluR1 within the ACC. Microinjection of NMDAR and AMPAR antagonists into the ACC to block excitatory synaptic transmission significantly attenuated abdominal hyperalgesia in CP rats, which was similar to the analgesic effect of endomorphins injected into the ACC. Specifically inhibiting the excitability of ACC pyramidal cells via chemogenetics reduced both hyperalgesia and comorbid anxiety, whereas activating these neurons via optogenetics failed to aggravate hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats. Taken together, these findings provide neurocircuit, biochemical, and behavioral evidence for involvement of the ACC in hyperalgesia and anxiety in CP rats, as well as novel insights into the cortical modulation of painful CP, and highlights the ACC as a potential target for neuromodulatory interventions in the treatment of painful CP.

Algal blooms (ABs) in inland lakes have caused adverse ecological effects, and health impairment of animals and humans. We used archived Landsat images to examine ABs in lakes (>1 km 2 ) around the globe over a 37‐year time span (1982–2018). Out of the 176032 lakes with area >1 km 2 detected globally, 863 were impacted by ABs, 708 had sufficiently long records to define a trend, and 66% exhibited increasing trends in frequency ratio (FRQR, ratio of the number of ABs events observed in a year in a given lake to the number of available Landsat images for that lake) or area ratio (AR, ratio of annual maximum area covered by ABs observed in a lake to the surface area of that lake), while 34% showed a decreasing trend.

Infectivity and antigenicity of pseudoviruses with high-frequency mutations of SARS-CoV-2 identified in Portugal - Hai-xin Wang; Li Zhang; Zi-teng Liang; Jian-hui Nie; Jia-jing Wu; Qian-qian Li; Ru-xia Ding; Yue Zhang; Guo-qing Chen; You-chun Wang; Hui-guo Wang; Wei-jin Huang (Archives of Virology, 2022)
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.

New Insight Into the Mechanism of Ecological Effects of Artificial Habitats: Elucidating the Relationship Between Protists Associated With Artificial Reefs and Adjacent Seawater - Ruolin Li; Yu Guo; Chuanxin Qin; Shuo Zhang; Dongping Ji; Hui Zhang; Jing Wang; Naiqian Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Artificial habitat deployment can restore natural habitats or supplement existing natural habitats. The effect of resource proliferation and protection is obvious. However, few reports have addressed the biological community association between artificial habitats and adjacent environments. Here, Illumina sequencing of 18S rDNA was performed, and the diversity, community structure, and co-occurrence networks of protists in different layers of artificial reefs (ARs) and adjacent seawater (WAR) were described to verify that constructing ARs in Bailong Pearl Bay improves local spatial heterogeneity and functional diversity. In terms of the degree of species interaction, the protist communities were ranked as follows: surface and bottom of WAR > ARs and WAR > different layers of ARs. The α-diversity of protists associated with ARs and WAR decreased with an increase in depth. Protist diversity was greater in WAR than in ARs. β-Diversity analysis revealed significant differences in protist community structure between WAR and ARs ( P < 0.05), and the upper layers of ARs and the middle or bottom layers of ARs differed. The key topological features of protist networks showed more positive interspecific interactions in the AR-associated protist community, a higher degree of niche differentiation, and higher complexity and stability. The keystone protists in the bottom seawater layer displayed community functions that were biased toward initial fixation in the ocean carbon cycle. The AR-associated protist community tended to participate in carbon transfer in the food chain and decomposition and utilization of dissolved organic matter (DOM). This study revealed significant differences in protist community structure between ARs and the adjacent environment, and the ecological functions of the key phyla were found to be related. In conclusion, protist communities in WAR may provide food sources for AR-associated heterotrophic protists. A variety of key phyla associated with ARs have biological roles in the carbon pump via their ecological characteristics.

Key message SYL3-k allele increases the outcrossing rate of male sterile line and the yield of hybrid F 1 seeds via enhancement of endogenous GA 4 content in Oryza sativa L. pistils. The change in style length might be an adaptation of rice cultivation from south to north in the northern hemisphere. Abstract The style length (SYL) in rice is one of the major factors influencing the stigma exertion, which affects the outcross rate of male sterile line and the yield of hybrid F 1 seeds. However, the biological mechanisms underlying SYL elongation remain elusive. Here, we report a map-based cloning and characterisation of the allele qSYL3-k . The qSYL3-k allele encodes a MADS-box family transcription factor, and it is expressed in various rice organs. The qSYL3-k allele increases SYL via the elongation of cell length in the style, which is associated with a higher GA 4 content in the pistil. The expression level of OsGA3ox2 in pistils with qSYL3-k alleles is significantly higher than that in pistils with qSYL3-n allele on the same genome background of Nipponbare. The yield of F 1 seeds harvested from plants with 7001S SYL3−k alleles was 16% higher than that from plants with 7001S SYL3−n allele. The sequence data at the qSYL3 locus in 136 accessions showed that alleles containing the haplotypes qSYL3 AA , qSYL3 AG , and qSYL3 GA increased SYL, whereas those containing the haplotype qSYL3 GG decreased it. The frequency of the haplotype qSYL3 GG increases gradually from the south to north in the northern hemisphere. These findings will facilitate improvement in SYL and yield of F 1 seeds henceforward.
