Caveolin-1-Mediated Cholesterol Accumulation Contributes to Exaggerated mGluR-Dependent Long-Term Depression and Impaired Cognition in Fmr1 Knockout Mice - Li Luo; Le Yang; Kun Zhang; Shi-Meng Zhou; Yan Wang; Liu-Kun Yang; Bin Feng; Shui-Bing Liu; Yu-Mei Wu; Ming-Gao Zhao; Qi Yang (Molecular Neurobiology, 2023)
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is one of the most common inherited mental retardation diseases and is caused by the loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) expression. The metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) theory of FXS states that enhanced mGluR-dependent long-term depression (LTD) due to FMRP loss is involved in aberrant synaptic plasticity and autistic-like behaviors, but little is known about the underlying molecular mechanism. Here, we found that only hippocampal mGluR-LTD was exaggerated in adolescent Fmr1 KO mice, while N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-LTD was intact in mice of all ages. This development-dependent alteration was related to the differential expression of caveolin-1 (Cav1), which is essential for caveolae formation. Knockdown of Cav1 restored the enhanced mGluR-LTD in Fmr1 KO mice. Moreover, hippocampal Cav1 expression in Fmr1 KO mice induced excessive endocytosis of the α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) receptor subunit GluA2. This process relied on mGluR1/5 activation rather than NMDAR. Interference with Cav1 expression reversed these changes. Furthermore, massive cholesterol accumulation contributed to redundant caveolae formation, which provided the platform for mGluR-triggered Cav1 coupling to GluA2. Importantly, injection of the cholesterol scavenger methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Mβ-CD) recovered AMPA receptor trafficking and markedly alleviated hyperactivity, hippocampus-dependent fear memory, and spatial memory defects in Fmr1 KO mice. Together, our findings elucidate the important role of Cav1 in mediating mGluR-LTD enhancement and further inducing AMPA receptor endocytosis and suggest that cholesterol depletion by Mβ-CD during caveolae formation may be a novel and safe strategy to treat FXS.

Upregulation of glycolytic enzyme PFKFB3 by deubiquitinase OTUD4 promotes cardiac fibrosis post myocardial infarction - Feizuo Wang; Xiaojian Yin; Yuan-Ming Fan; Xinyao Zhang; Chao Ma; Keke Jia; Wei Zhou; Zongxiang Tang; Lian-Wen Qi; Jia Li (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2023)
Metabolic dysregulations have emerged as a major mediator of cardiovascular disorders and fibrotic diseases. Metabolic reprogramming contributes a lot to cardiac fibroblast activation and cardiac fibrosis post-myocardial infarction (MI), yet the mechanism remains incompletely understood. Our work aimed to determine whether or not glycolytic reprogramming, regulated by phosphofructokinase-2/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), is a therapeutic target for alleviating post-MI cardiac fibrosis. Here, we showed that cardiac fibroblasts displayed cell energy phenotype toward augmented glycolysis in response to transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), evidenced by significant extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) increase and lactate accumulation. The expression of glycolytic enzyme PFKFB3, a master activator of glycolysis, was up-regulated in TGF-β1-treated cardiac fibroblasts and in cardiac fibroblasts of post-MI mice. Pharmacological inhibition of PFKFB3 by 3PO diminished TGF-β1-mediated profibrotic phenotypes, attenuated cardiac fibrosis, and preserved cardiac functions in post-MI mice. Meanwhile, the genetic inhibition of PFKFB3 decreased the cardiac fibroblast activation and reversed the differentiated phenotypes in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we identified deubiquitinase OTUD4 as a new binding protein of PFKFB3, and their interaction blocked PFKFB3 degradation via OTUD4-mediated deubiquitylation. Taken together, this work characterized a key role for PFKFB3 in cardiac fibroblast activation and suggested that inhibiting PFKFB3-involved glycolysis is an alternative way to alleviate post-MI cardiac fibrosis. Key messages PFKFB3, a master activator of glycolysis, was highly expressed in ischemic cardiac fibroblasts to enhance cardiac fibrosis The deubiquitinase OTUD4 was identified as a new binding protein of PFKFB3 TGF-β1 blunted the ubiquitination-mediated degradation of PFKFB3 via OTUD4-mediated deubiquitylation Blockade of PFKFB3 contributed to ameliorating ischemia-induced cardiac fibrosis

Comparison of droplet digital PCR and real‐time quantitative PCR for quantitative detection of the parasitic ciliate Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in the water environment - Guangran Hu; Ke Huang; Weitian Zhou; Runqiu Wang; Weishan Zhao; Hong Zou; Wenxiang Li; Shangong Wu; Ming Li; Guitang Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2023)
Ichthyophthiriasis, caused by the parasitic ciliate Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich), is considered one of the most harmful diseases affecting freshwater fish globally. It can cause mass mortalities of fish in intensive farming systems. In such systems, it is thus necessary to detect and quantify the number of Ich in the water so that control measures can be implemented before Ichthyophthiriasis breaks out. In recent years, molecular diagnostic methods have become increasingly important in aquaculture. Real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) have become robust assays for detecting pathogens. In this study, a set of specific primers and a TaqMan‐minor groove binder probe targeting the small‐subunit rDNA (SSU rDNA) of Ich were developed. They were used in qPCR and ddPCR assays to compare the performance of these two different methods in quantitatively detecting Ich. After optimizing the reaction conditions, both qPCR and ddPCR assays were found to have high linearity and quantitative correlations for standard plasmid DNA. When used for the detection of Ich eDNA in water samples, the qPCR assay had a wider detection range, making it a suitable method to screen for the prevalence of Ichthyophthiriasis. However, the ddPCR approach had higher sensitivity, which would help provide advance notice of the disease in complex water environmental samples.

The galU gene is required for in vivo survival of pseudomonas plecoglossicida in large yellow croaker ( Larimichthys crocea ) - Feng‐Ling Shu; Li‐Yun Jin; Hao Liu; Zhen Tao; Fei Yin; Jia‐Song Xie; Su‐Ming Zhou (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2023)
Pseudomonas plecoglossicida is an important pathogenic bacterium in aquaculture that causes visceral granulomas in large yellow croaker ( Larimichthys crocea ). Uridine diphosphate glucose phosphorylase encoded by galU plays a key role in biosynthesis of the bacterial envelope, particularly lipopolysaccharide and the capsule. In this study, we inactivated the galU gene in the P. plecoglossicida isolate XSDHY‐P. The galU mutant strain showed impaired growth in the early exponential stage and lacked the O polysaccharide side chain in lipopolysaccharide, but almost no defect in biofilm formation was detected. The galU mutant strain also exhibited significantly more sensitivity to the bactericidal action of normal fish serum mediated by the complement system compared to the wild‐type strain. In a cell model originating from the head kidney of large yellow croaker, the galU mutant strain showed lower capacities of adhesion, invasion, and intracellular survival compared to the wild‐type strain. In addition, the deficiency of the galU mutant drastically decreased bacterial loads in tissues and attenuated P. plecoglossicida virulence in fish. These results suggest that the galU gene of P. plecoglossicida is required for in vivo survival in large yellow croaker.

The short-term effects of air pollution exposure on preterm births in Chongqing, China: 2015–2020 - Xin Ming; Ziyi He; Yannan Li; Yaqiong Hu; Yunping Yang; Hongyan Chen; Qin Chen; Huan Yang; Wenzheng Zhou (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023)
Accumulating evidence suggested that the risk of preterm births (PTBs) following prenatal exposure to air pollution was inconclusive. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between air pollution exposure in the days before delivery and PTB and assess the threshold effect of short-term prenatal exposure to air pollution on PTB. This study collected data including meteorological factors, air pollutants, and information in Birth Certificate System from 9 districts during 2015–2020 in Chongqing, China. Generalized additive models (GAMs) with the distributed lag non-linear models were conducted to assess the acute impact of air pollutants on the daily counts of PTB, after controlling for potential confounding factors. We observed that PM 2.5 was related to increased occurrence of PTB on lag 0–3 and lag 10–21 days, with the strongest on the first day (RR = 1.017, 95%CI: 1.000–1.034) and then decreasing. The thresholds of PM 2.5 for lag 1–7 and 1–30 days were 100 μg/m 3 and 50 μg/m 3 , respectively. The lag effect of PM 10 on PTB was very similar to that of PM 2.5 . In addition, the lagged and cumulative exposure of SO 2 and NO 2 was also associated with the increased risk of PTB. The lag relative risk and cumulative relative risk of CO exposure were the strongest, with a maximum RR at lag 0 (RR = 1.044, 95%CI: 1.018, 1.069). Importantly, the exposure–response curve of CO showed that RR increased rapidly when the concentration exceeded 1000 μg/m 3 . This study indicated significant associations between air pollution and PTB. The relative risk decreases with day lag, while the cumulative effect increases. Thus, pregnant women should understand the risk of air pollution and try to avoid high concentration exposure.

Low soil moisture suppresses the thermal compensatory response of microbial respiration - Jin‐Tao Li; Yan Zhang; Hongyang Chen; Huiming Sun; Weitao Tian; Jinquan Li; Xiang Liu; Shurong Zhou; Changming Fang; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Global Change Biology, 2023)
The thermal compensatory response of microbial respiration contributes to a decrease in warming‐induced enhancement of soil respiration over time, which could weaken the positive feedback between the carbon cycle and climate warming. Climate warming is also predicted to cause a worldwide decrease in soil moisture, which has an effect on the microbial metabolism of soil carbon. However, whether and how changes in moisture affect the thermal compensatory response of microbial respiration are unexplored. Here, using soils from an 8‐year warming experiment in an alpine grassland, we assayed the thermal response of microbial respiration rates at different soil moisture levels. The results showed that relatively low soil moisture suppressed the thermal compensatory response of microbial respiration, leading to an enhanced response to warming. A subsequent moisture incubation experiment involving off‐plot soils also showed that the response of microbial respiration to 100 d warming shifted from a slight compensatory response to an enhanced response with decreasing incubation moisture. Further analysis revealed that such respiration regulation by moisture was associated with shifts in enzymatic activities and carbon use efficiency. Our findings suggest that future drought induced by climate warming might weaken the thermal compensatory capacity of microbial respiration, with important consequences for carbon–climate feedback.

An Automatic Recognition Method for Fish Species and Length Using an Underwater Stereo Vision System - Yuxuan Deng; Hequn Tan; Minghang Tong; Dianzhuo Zhou; Yuxiang Li; Ming Zhu (Fishes, 2022)
Developing new methods to detect biomass information on freshwater fish in farm conditions enables the creation of decision bases for precision feeding. In this study, an approach based on Keypoints R-CNN is presented to identify species and measure length automatically using an underwater stereo vision system. To enhance the model’s robustness, stochastic enhancement is performed on image datasets. For further promotion of the features extraction capability of the backbone network, an attention module is integrated into the ResNeXt50 network. Concurrently, the feature pyramid network (FPN) is replaced by an improved path aggregation network (I-PANet) to achieve a greater fusion of effective feature maps. Compared to the original model, the mAP of the improved one in object and key point detection tasks increases by 4.55% and 2.38%, respectively, with a small increase in the number of model parameters. In addition, a new algorithm is introduced for matching the detection results of neural networks. On the foundation of the above contents, coordinates of head and tail points in stereo images as well as fish species can be obtained rapidly and accurately. A 3D reconstruction of the fish head and tail points is performed utilizing the calibration parameters and projection matrix of the stereo camera. The estimated length of the fish is acquired by calculating the Euclidean distance between two points. Finally, the precision of the proposed approach proved to be acceptable for five kinds of common freshwater fish. The accuracy of species identification exceeds 94%, and the relative errors of length measurement are less than 10%. In summary, this method can be utilized to help aquaculture farmers efficiently collect real-time information about fish length.

Microbial respiratory thermal adaptation is regulated by r‐/K‐strategy dominance - Hongyang Chen; Qingfang Jing; Xiang Liu; Xuhui Zhou; Changming Fang; Bo Li; Shurong Zhou; Ming Nie (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Microbial thermal adaptation is considered to be one of the core mechanisms affecting soil carbon cycling. However, the role of microbial community composition in controlling thermal adaptation is poorly understood. Using microbial communities from the rhizosphere and bulk soils in an 8‐year warming experiment as a model, we experimentally demonstrate that respiratory thermal adaptation was much stronger in microbial K ‐strategist‐dominated bulk soils than in microbial r ‐strategist‐dominated rhizosphere soils. Soil carbon availability exerted strong selection on the dominant ecological strategy of the microbial community, indirectly influencing respiratory thermal adaptation. Our findings shed light on the linchpin of the dominant ecological strategy exhibited by the microbial community in determining its respiratory thermal adaptation, with implications for understanding soil carbon losses under warming.

Sexual size dimorphism in golden pompano (Trachinotus blochii): Potential roles of changes in energy allocation and differences in muscle metabolism - Jun Long Sun; Fei Biao Song; Lei Wang; Wei Wei Zhang; You Ming Chen; Li Zhou; Jian Fang Gui; Jian Luo (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Golden pompano ( Trachinotus blochii ) is becoming increasingly popular and produces high yields, but the growth differences between males and females are a concern. In this study, the differences between the growth of males and females were compared, and the transcriptome analysis of muscle tissues was performed. A significant difference between the growth of males and females was observed; females were found to be 17% larger than males after reaching 7 months of age. Gonadal histological analysis revealed that the ovaries were arrested in 7- to 9-month-old golden pompano, whereas the testes continued to develop. The AMPK and adipocytokine signaling pathways were also found to be involved in the regulation of muscle growth and metabolism. After reaching 7 months of age, the expression levels of glut1 , glut4 , ldh , gys, acsl and cpt2 in the muscle of females were lower than those in males, but the hk gene, which is involved in glycolysis, was found to remain highly expressed in females. Additionally, in females, the synthesis of arginine and ornithine and the production of carnosine were found to be inhibited, but the breakdown of glutamine was found to be enhanced and OXPHOS ability was found to be stronger in females after reaching 7 months of age. These results support a certain negative correlation between gonadal development and muscle metabolism depending on differences in energy distribution. Clearly, the faster growth in females after reaching 7 months of age was found to be associated with the more active metabolism of glucose, and amino acids, as well as stronger oxidative phosphorylation levels.

Negative air ion exposure ameliorates depression-like behaviors induced by chronic mild stress in mice - Yun-Qing Hu; Ting-Ting Niu; Jian-ming Xu; Li Peng; Qing-Hua Sun; Ying Huang; Ji Zhou; Yu-Qiang Ding (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
The presence of negative air ions (NAI) is suggested to be a beneficial factor in improving psychological status and used in treating depression as an alternative approach. However, more biological evidence from animal models is needed to ensure the effects of NAI on the mood regulation, through which can facilitate identification of possible underlying mechanisms. In this study, the chronic mild stress (CMS) protocol was used to induce depressive-like behaviors in mice, and the effects of NAI exposure on CMS-induced depression-like behaviors were examined. Thirty-day NAI exposure prevented the CMS-induced depression-like behaviors as shown by the restoration of sucrose preference and reduced immobility time in the tail suspension test. In addition, the elevation of serous corticosterone was present in CMS-treated mice but not existed in those with the NAI exposure. Furthermore, we observed altered ratios of some cytokines secreted by type 1 T helper (Th1) cells and Th2 cells in CMS-treated mice, but it could be restored after NAI exposure. In conclusion, NAI intervention is able to ameliorate CMS-induced depression-like behaviors in mice, and this effect is associated with the alteration of corticosterone and functional rebalance between Th1 and Th2 cells.

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

The Effects of Ground and Treadmill Running on Energy Metabolism and Muscle Contractile Properties: A Randomized Cross-Over Study - Yuan Zhou; Jian-gang Chen; Xiao-long Li; Xin-liang Pan; Yi-zheng Zhou; Zheng-ao Li; Zhi-cheng Liang; Jia-min Long; Ming-ze Qin; Jing Zhang; Bing Shi; Bing-jun Wan; et al. (Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise, 2022)
Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of ground and treadmill running on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties, providing a basis for the general public to choose running venues. Methods Ten male college students (age, 20.10 ± 1.53 years; height, 176.20 ± 5.49 cm; weight, 72.14 ± 8.25 kg; body fat percent, 12.41% ± 4.65%) were recruited in this study. Energy expenditure (EE) was measured using the accelerometer (GT9X) combined with specific estimation equations. Average heart rate (HR) was measured using a heart rate band (Polar). Muscle contractile properties were assessed by measuring muscle displacement (Dm) and contraction velocity (Vc) using tensiomyography (TMG-S1). Blood glucose (Glu) and lactate (Lac) were measured by portable devices (eB-G and Lactate Scout). The running speed was 9 km/h and the duration was 25 min. Two-way ANOVA (protocol × time) was used to analyze the effect of running protocols on energy metabolism and muscle contractile properties. Results EE of treadmill running was significantly higher than EE of ground running (protocol main effect, P < 0.001), and HR of treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running in the first testing time (protocol simple effect, P = 0.026; protocol × time interaction P = 0.043). The decrease in Dm of the rectus femoris after treadmill running was significantly higher than that of ground running (protocol main effect, P = 0.009). The interaction of different running protocols and testing times on Lac was significant ( P = 0.025), but all results of the simple effects analysis were not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Our study found a difference in energy expenditure between treadmill and ground running at 9 km/h with duration of 25 min. In addition, treadmills are more likely to cause a decrease in muscle displacement distance of the rectus femoris measured after exercise than ground running. Future studies are needed to further investigate whether the differences are induced by internal metabolism or the environmental conditions of running.

Metagenomic insights into the environmental adaptation and metabolism of Candidatus Haloplasmatales, one archaeal order thriving in saline lakes - Heng Zhou; Dahe Zhao; Shengjie Zhang; Qiong Xue; Manqi Zhang; Haiying Yu; Jian Zhou; Ming Li; Sumit Kumar; Hua Xiang (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary The KTK 4A‐related Thermoplasmata thrives in the sediment of saline lakes; however, systematic research on its taxonomy, environmental adaptation and metabolism is lacking. Here, we detected this abundant lineage in the sediment of five artificially separated ponds (salinity 7.0%–33.0%) within a Chinese soda‐saline lake using culture‐independent metagenomics and archaeal 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The phylogenies based on the 16S rRNA gene, and 122 archaeal ubiquitous single‐copy proteins and genome‐level identity analyses among the metagenome‐assembled genomes demonstrate this lineage forming a novel order, Candidatus Haloplasmatales, comprising four genera affiliated with the identical family. Isoelectric point profiles of predicted proteomes suggest that most members adopt the energetically favourable ‘salt‐in’ strategy. Functional prediction indicates the lithoheterotrophic nature with the versatile metabolic potentials for carbohydrate and organic acids as well as carbon monoxide and hydrogen utilization. Additionally, hydrogenase genes hdrABC ‐ mvhADG are linked with incomplete reductive citrate cycle genes in the genomes, suggesting their functional connection. Comparison with the coupling of HdrABC‐MvhADG and methanogenesis pathway provides new insights into the compatibility of laterally acquired methanogenesis with energy metabolism in the related order Methanomassiliicoccales . Globally, our research sheds light on the taxonomy, environmental adaptative mechanisms, metabolic potentials and evolutional significance of Ca . Haloplasmatales.

Phenotypic plasticity of light use favors a plant invader in nitrogen‐enriched ecosystems - Xiao Xu; Chenhao Zhou; Qiang He; Shiyun Qiu; Yan Zhang; Ji Yang; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Ecology, 2022)
Eutrophication is believed to promote plant invasion, resulting in high growth performances of invasive plants and, therefore, the great potential for growth‐induced intraspecific competition for light. Current hypotheses predict how eutrophication promotes plant invasion but fail to explain how great invasiveness is maintained under eutrophic conditions. In diverse native communities, co‐occurring plants of varying sizes can avoid light competition by exploiting light complementarily; however, whether this mechanism applies to intraspecific competition in invasive plant populations remains unknown. Using a 2‐year field nitrogen (N)‐enrichment experiment on one of the global invasive plants, Spartina alterniflora , we found that the plasticity of light use reduced intraspecific competition and increased biomass production in S. alterniflora . This plasticity effect was enhanced when S. alterniflora had no nutrient limitations. In the N‐enrichment treatments, the height difference among S. alterniflora ramets increased as light intensity decreased under the canopy. Compared with ambient N, under N enrichment, shorter individuals increased their light‐use efficiency and specific leaf area in response to the reduced light intensity under the canopy. However, such ecophysiological plasticity was not found for taller individuals. Our findings revealed that the light‐use plasticity of short individuals can be envisaged as a novel mechanism by which an invasive plant alleviates intraspecific competition and increases its invasiveness, challenging the prevailing perspective that the invasiveness of exotic plants is constrained by intraspecific competition.

The Key Regulator of Necroptosis, RIP1 Kinase, Contributes to the Formation of Astrogliosis and Glial Scar in Ischemic Stroke - Yong-Ming Zhu; Liang Lin; Chao Wei; Yi Guo; Yuan Qin; Zhong-Sheng Li; Thomas A. Kent; Claire E. McCoy; Zhan-Xiang Wang; Yong Ni; Xian-Yong Zhou; Hui-Ling Zhang (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Necroptosis initiation relies on the receptor-interacting protein 1 kinase (RIP1K). We recently reported that genetic and pharmacological inhibition of RIP1K produces protection against ischemic stroke-induced astrocytic injury. However, the role of RIP1K in ischemic stroke-induced formation of astrogliosis and glial scar remains unknown. Here, in a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) rat model and an oxygen and glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/Re)-induced astrocytic injury model, we show that RIP1K was significantly elevated in the reactive astrocytes. Knockdown of RIP1K or delayed administration of RIP1K inhibitor Nec-1 down-regulated the glial scar markers, improved ischemic stroke-induced necrotic morphology and neurologic deficits, and reduced the volume of brain atrophy. Moreover, knockdown of RIP1K attenuated astrocytic cell death and proliferation and promoted neuronal axonal generation in a neuron and astrocyte co-culture system. Both vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) and its receptor VEGFR-3 were elevated in the reactive astrocytes; simultaneously, VEGF-D was increased in the medium of astrocytes exposed to OGD/Re. Knockdown of RIP1K down-regulated VEGF-D gene and protein levels in the reactive astrocytes. Treatment with 400 ng/ml recombinant VEGF-D induced the formation of glial scar; conversely, the inhibitor of VEGFR-3 suppressed OGD/Re-induced glial scar formation. RIP3K and MLKL may be involved in glial scar formation. Taken together, these results suggest that RIP1K participates in the formation of astrogliosis and glial scar via impairment of normal astrocyte responses and enhancing the astrocytic VEGF-D/VEGFR-3 signaling pathways. Inhibition of RIP1K promotes the brain functional recovery partially via suppressing the formation of astrogliosis and glial scar. Graphical Abstract

Improving photosynthesis to increase grain yield potential: an analysis of maize hybrids released in different years in China - Yanyan Yan; Peng Hou; Fengying Duan; Li Niu; Tingbo Dai; Keru Wang; Ming Zhao; Shaokun Li; Wenbin Zhou (Photosynthesis Research, 2021)
In this work, we sought to understand how breeding has affected photosynthesis and to identify key photosynthetic indices that are important for increasing maize yield in the field. Our 2-year (2017–2018) field experiment used five high-yielding hybrid maize cultivars (generated in the 1970s, 2000s, and 2010s) and was conducted in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China. We investigated the effects of planting density on maize grain yield, photosynthetic parameters, respiration, and chlorophyll content, under three planting density regimens: 75,000, 105,000, and 135,000 plants ha −1 . Our results showed that increasing planting density to the medium level (105,000 plants ha −1 ) significantly increased grain yield (Y) up to 20.32% compared to the low level (75,000 plants ha −1 ). However, further increasing planting density to 135,000 plants ha −1 did not lead to an additional increase in yield, with some cultivars actually exhibiting an opposite trend. Interestingly, no significant changes in photosynthetic rate, dark respiration, stomatal density, and aperture were observed upon increasing planting density. Moreover, our experiments revealed a positive correlation between grain yield and the net photosynthetic rate (P n ) upon the hybrid release year. Compared to other cultivars, the higher grain yield obtained in DH618 resulted from a higher 1000-kernel weight (TKW), which can be explained by a longer photosynthetic duration, a higher chlorophyll content, and a lower ratio of chlorophyll a / b . Moreover, we found that a higher leaf area per plant and the leaf area index (HI) do not necessarily result in an improvement in maize yield. Taken together, we demonstrated that higher photosynthetic capacity, longer photosynthetic duration, suitable LAI, and higher chlorophyll content with lower chlorophyll a / b ratio are important factors for obtaining high-yielding maize cultivars and can be used for the improvement of maize crop yield.

Finite Element Analysis of a Novel Anatomical Locking Guide Plate for Anterior Column and Posterior Hemi-Transverse Acetabular Fractures - Junhao Deng; Ming Li; Jiantao Li; Zhirui Li; Fanqi Meng; Yanmei Zhou; Peifu Tang; Yanpeng Zhao; Licheng Zhang (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2021)
Purpose The increasing worldwide prevalence of anterior column-posterior hemi-transverse fracture (ACPHTF) brings formidable challenges to orthopaedic surgeons. Our newly-designed locking plate had previously demonstrated promising effects in ACPHTF, but evidence of their direct comparison with conventional internal fixations remains lacking. In this study, we aimed to compare our novel plate with the traditional devices via finite element analysis. Methods The ACPHTF model was created based on a 48-year-old volunteer’s CT data, and then fixed in three different internal fixations: an anterior column locking plate with posterior column screws, double column locking plates, and our novel anatomical locking plate. These models were next loaded with a downward vertical force of 200 N, 400 N and 600 N, and the stress peaks and displacements of three different sites were recorded and analyzed. Results We first tested the rigidity and found that our newly-designed locking plate as well as its matched screws had a greater stiffness especially when they were under a higher loading force of 600 N. Then we evaluated the displacements of fracture ends after applying these fixations. Both our novel plate and DLP showed significantly smaller displacement than LPPCS at the anterior column fracture line and the pubic branch fracture line, while our novel plate was not obviously inferior to DLP in terms of the displacement. Conclusion This novel plate demonstrates a distinct superiority in the stiffness over LPPCS and DLP and comparable displacements to DLP in ACPHTF, which suggests this novel anatomical locking guide plate should be taken into consideration in ACPHTF.

Highly integrated adaptive mechanisms in Spiribacter halalkaliphilus , a bacterium abundant in Chinese soda‐saline lakes - Qiong Xue; Dahe Zhao; Shengjie Zhang; Heng Zhou; Zhenqiang Zuo; Jian Zhou; Ming Li; Hua Xiang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Soda‐saline lakes are polyextreme environments inhabited by many haloalkaliphiles, including one of the most abundant Spiribacter species. However, its mechanisms of adaptation are not ecophysiologically characterized. Based on a large‐scale cultivation strategy, we obtained a representative isolate of this Spiribacter species whose relative abundance was the highest (up to 15.63%) in a wide range of salinities in the soda‐saline lakes in Inner Mongolia, China. This species is a chemoorganoheterotrophic haloalkaliphile. It has a small and streamlined genome and utilizes a wide variety of compatible solutes to resist osmotic pressure and multiple monovalent cation/proton antiporters for pH homeostasis. In addition to growth enhancement by light under microaerobic conditions, cell growth, organic substrate consumption and polyhydroxybutyrate biosynthesis were also improved by inorganic sulfide. Both quantitative RT‐PCR and enzymatic assays verified that sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase was upregulated during this process. Metatranscriptomic analysis indicated that all genes related to environmental adaptation were transcribed in natural environments. Overall, this study has identified a novel abundant haloalkaliphile with multiple and highly integrated adaptive strategies and found that inorganic sulfide was able to improve the adaptation of a heterotroph to polyextreme environments.

Summary The foliar surface forms one of the largest aboveground habitats on Earth and maintains plant‐fungus relationships that greatly affect ecosystem functioning. Despite many studies with particular plant species, the foliar epiphytic mycobiome has not been studied across a large number of plant species from different taxa. Using high‐throughput sequencing, we assessed epiphytic mycobiomes on leaf surfaces of 592 plant species in a botanical garden. Plants of angiosperms, gymnosperms, and pteridophytes were involved. Plant taxonomy, leaf side, growing environment, and evolutionary relationships were considered. We found that pteridophytes showed the higher fungal species diversity, stronger mutualistic fungal interactions, and a greater percentage of putative pathogens than gymnosperms and angiosperms. Plant taxonomic group, leaf side, and growing environment were significantly associated with the foliar epiphytic mycobiome, but the similarity of the mycobiomes among plants was not directly related to the distance of the host evolutionary tree. Our results provide a general understanding of the foliar fungal mycobiomes from pteridophytes to angiosperms. These findings will facilitate our understanding of foliar fungal epiphytes and their roles in plant communities and ecosystems.

Tracing Nutrients and Organic Matter Changes in Eutrophic Wenchang (China) and Oligotrophic Krka (Croatia) Estuaries: A Comparative Study - You-You Hao; Zhuo-Yi Zhu; Fu-Tao Fang; Tihana Novak; Milan Čanković; Enis Hrustić; Zrinka Ljubešić; Ming Li; Jin-Zhou Du; Rui-Feng Zhang; Blaženka Gašparović (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Estuaries modify the concentration and composition of riverine nutrients and organic matter (OM), which eventually determine the riverine flux effect to coasts. Nutrients, organic carbon (OC), pigments, and amino acids (AAs) from the samples collected in the eutrophic Wenchang River Estuary (WRE) in China and the oligotrophic Krka River Estuary (KRE) in Croatia were analyzed in order to have a better understanding of how estuaries regulate terrestrial materials. We found a clear increase of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentration and its subsequent decrease due to the removal of DIN (over 100 μM) in the WRE, whereas DIN showed minor variation lengthwise in the KRE, i.e., with the salinity changes, ranging between 1.0 and 5.8 μM. The elevated algae-derived OC, dissolved organic nitrogen, and particulate AAs nitrogen suggest that the OM assimilation may explain approximately one-third of the DIN removal in the WRE, whereas in the oligotrophic KRE, such inorganic to organic transformation is not likely to be significant. Due to the prominent estuarine nitrogen removal/assimilation process, DIN/dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) ratio was as high as 425 in the upper WRE under strong riverine influence, but it declined to as low as 5.4 at the mouth of WRE, that is even lower than DIN/DIP ratio at the mouth of oligotrophic KRE (12). When compared with other rivers worldwide, the Wenchang River showed high nutrients and organic carbon yields. Given the contrasting estuarine process (e.g., DIN removal) between the KRE and the WRE, apparent high nutrient yield from eutrophic rivers should be viewed with caution in ocean studies as the final impact to coastal zone could be similar to the oligotrophic rivers like the KRE.

Simultaneous detection of multiple bacterial and viral aquatic pathogens using a fluorogenic loop‐mediated isothermal amplification‐based dual‐sample microfluidic chip - Qian‐Jin Zhou; Jian‐Fei Lu; Xiu‐Rong Su; Jing‐Lei Jin; Shang‐Yang Li; Yan Zhou; Lei Wang; Xin‐Bin Shao; Yao‐Hua Wang; Mao‐Cang Yan; Ming‐Yun Li; Jiong Chen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Rapid and user‐friendly diagnostic tests are necessary for early diagnosis and immediate detection of diseases, particularly for on‐site screening of pathogenic microorganisms in aquaculture. In this study, we developed a dual‐sample microfluidic chip integrated with a real‐time fluorogenic loop‐mediated isothermal amplification assay (dual‐sample on‐chip LAMP) to simultaneously detect 10 pathogenic microorganisms, that is Aeromonas hydrophila , Edwardsiella tarda , Vibrio harveyi , V. alginolyticus , V. anguillarum , V. parahaemolyticus , V. vulnificus , infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus, infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus, and white spot syndrome virus. This on‐chip LAMP provided a nearly automated protocol that can analyse two samples simultaneously, and the tests achieved limits of detection (LOD) ranging from 10 0 to 10 –1 pg/μl for genomic DNA of tested bacteria and 10 –4 to 10 –5 pg/μl for recombinant plasmid DNA of tested viruses, with run times averaging less than 30 min. The coefficient of variation for the time‐to‐positive value was less than 10%, reflecting a robust reproducibility. The clinical sensitivity and specificity were 93.52% and 85.53%, respectively, compared to conventional microbiological or clinical methods. The on‐chip LAMP assay provides an effective dual‐sample and multiple pathogen analysis, and thus would be applicable to on‐site detection and routine monitoring of multiple pathogens in aquaculture.

A single nucleotide polymorphism variant located in the cis ‐regulatory region of the ABCG2 gene is associated with mallard egg colour - Hehe Liu; Jian Hu; Zhanbao Guo; Wenlei Fan; Yaxi Xu; Suyun Liang; Dapeng Liu; Yunsheng Zhang; Ming Xie; Jing Tang; Wei Huang; Qi Zhang; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2021)
Avian egg coloration is shaped by natural selection, but its genetic basis remains unclear. Here, we used genome‐wide association analysis and identity by descent to finely map green egg colour to a 179‐kb region of Chr4 based on the resequencing of 352 ducks ( Anas platyrhynchos ) from a segregating population resulting from the mating of Pekin ducks (white‐shelled eggs) and mallards (green‐shelled eggs). We further narrowed the candidate region to a 30‐kb interval by comparing genome divergence in seven indigenous duck populations. Among the genes located in the finely mapped region, only one transcript of the ABCG2 gene (XM_013093252.2) exhibited higher uterine expression in green‐shelled individuals than in white‐shelled individuals, as supported by transcriptome data from four populations. ABCG2 has been reported to encode a protein that functions as a membrane transporter for biliverdin. Sanger sequencing of the whole 30‐kb candidate region (Chr4: 47.41–47.44 Mb) and a plasmid reporter assay helped to identify a single nucleotide polymorphism (Chr4: 47,418,074 G>A) located in a conserved predicted promoter region whose variation may alter ABCG2 transcription activity. We provide a useful molecular marker for duck breeding and contribute data to the research on ecological evolution based on egg colour patterns among birds.

Leading modes of Asian–Australian monsoon interannual variability as represented in CMIP5 models - Fang Zhou; Hong‐Li Ren; Ming‐Hong Liu; Run Wang; Kai Huang (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
The Asian–Australian monsoon (AAM) exerts a strong impact on the regional climate. The ability of climate models to simulate the AAM is of great importance. This study evaluates the performance of 26 models, which participate in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5), in representing features of the leading modes of the AAM interannual variability. This is achieved by diagnosing quantitative metrics derived from a Season‐reliant Empirical Orthogonal Function (S‐EOF) analysis, and plausible external forcing contributing to the simulation results are presented. Our results show that the CMIP5 models can generally capture the spatial patterns of the leading modes of AAM interannual variability during El Niño development periods because of strong air–sea interactions. The variance percentage explained by the first two S‐EOF modes is found to be closely related to the amplitude of the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the models. In contrast, simulation of the periodicity remains challenging, and the models show deficiencies in the accurate capture of periodic characteristics. Models with realistic ENSO simulations typically perform well in simulating S‐EOF1, and the key to improving the simulation of S‐EOF2 is the greater intensity of the simulated field of background heating over the Northwest Pacific warm pool. The multimodel ensemble (MME) performs better than most of the 26 individual models. Models in the MME with better ENSO simulation and stronger warm pool heating are found to be better able to represent the relationships between the first two leading S‐EOF modes and ENSO, although biases remained.

Role of major histocompatibility complex II antigen‐presentation pathway genes in orange‐spotted grouper infected with Cryptocaryon irritans - Jun‐Jin Deng; Shun Xu; Yan‐Wei Li; Dong‐Dong Xu; Ze‐Quan Mo; Jia‐Zhou Li; Xue‐Ming Dan; Xiao‐Chun Luo (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2020)
Cryptocaryon irritans , a pathogen model for fish mucosal immunity, causes skin mucosal and systematic humoral immune response. Where and how MHC II antigen presentation occurs in fish infected with C . irritans remain unknown. In this study, the full‐length cDNA of the grouper cysteine protease CTSS was cloned. The expression distributions of six genes (CTSB, CTSL, CTSS, GILT, MHC IIA and MHC IIB) involved in MHC II antigen presentation pathway were tested. These genes were highly expressed in systematic immune tissues and skin and gill mucosal‐associated immune tissues. All six genes were upregulated in skin at most time points. Five genes expected CTSS was upregulated in spleen at most time points. CTSB, CTSL and MHC IIA were upregulated in the gill and head kidney at some time points. These results indicate that the presentation of MHC II antigen intensively occurred in local infected skin and gill. Spleen, not head kidney, had the most extensive systematic antigen presentation. In skin, six genes most likely peaked at day 2, earlier than in spleen (5–7 days), marking an earlier skin antibody peak than any recorded in serum previously. This significant and earlier mucosal antigen presentation indicates that specific immune response occurs in local mucosal tissues.

The comment by Sánchez‐Tójar et al . (2020, Ecol Lett) questioned the methodology, transparency and conclusion of our study (Ecol Lett, 22, 2019, 1976). The comment has overlooked important evolutionary assumptions in their reanalysis, and the issues raised were in fact dealt with through the peer‐review process. Far from being biased, the key conclusion of our meta‐analysis still stands; transgenerational effects are largely adaptive.

Host functional and phylogenetic composition rather than host diversity structure plant–herbivore networks - Ming‐Qiang Wang; Yi Li; Douglas Chesters; Helge Bruelheide; Keping Ma; Peng‐Fei Guo; Qing‐Song Zhou; Michael Staab; Chao‐Dong Zhu; Andreas Schuldt (Molecular Ecology, 2020)
Declining plant diversity alters ecological networks, such as plant–herbivore interactions. However, our knowledge of the potential mechanisms underlying effects of plant species loss on plant–herbivore network structure is still limited. We used DNA barcoding to identify herbivore–host plant associations along declining levels of tree diversity in a large‐scale, subtropical biodiversity experiment. We tested for effects of tree species richness, host functional and phylogenetic diversity, and host functional (leaf trait) and phylogenetic composition on species, phylogenetic and network composition of herbivore communities. We found that phylogenetic host composition and related palatability/defence traits but not tree species richness significantly affected herbivore communities and interaction network complexity at both the species and community levels. Our study indicates that evolutionary dependencies and functional traits of host plants determine the composition of higher trophic levels and corresponding interaction networks in species‐rich ecosystems. Our findings highlight that characteristics of the species lost have effects on ecosystem structure and functioning across trophic levels that cannot be predicted from mere reductions in species richness.
