Immunogenic cell death (ICD) can activate immune cells and potentiate the response to immunotherapy. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway regulates the immune response and mediates T-cell receptor signaling. Activation of the MAPK signaling pathway decreases the levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and is associated with worse survival. Here, we investigated the potential of the MEK inhibitor cobimetinib as an ICD inducer in TNBC. We demonstrated that cobimetinib elicited hallmarks of ICD, including elevated levels of damage-associated molecular patterns. Ectopic ERK expression attenuated cobimetinib-induced CRT. Cobimetinib also evoked caspase-8 activation with increased Bax and Bak expression, while caspase inhibitor suppressed cobimetinib-induced CRT expression and apoptosis. In immunocompetent (BALB/c) mice bearing 4T1 tumors, cobimetinib exhibited stronger tumor growth inhibition than in immunodeficient (nude) mice, suggesting an immune-dependent antitumor effect. Furthermore, cobimetinib treatment increased the proportions of naïve CD8 + T cells and effector CD4 + T cells and decreases the proportion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in immunocompetent mice bearing 4T1 tumors. Notably, we observed differential immunomodulatory effects of cobimetinib in tumor-bearing mice compared to non–tumor-bearing immunocompetent mice. Our findings indicate that MEK inhibition is associated with ICD-related molecular alterations, and that cobimetinib may contribute to immune modulation in TNBC.

Peak-at-Intermediate-Salinity Transcriptional and Histological Responses of Triploid Rainbow Trout Gills to Salinity Gradients - Yanming Sui; Jingtao Liu; Haopeng Hu; Yan Ji; Yuanhao Ren; Bo Qin; Na Ying; Tingting Lin; Siping Li; Hanfeng Zheng; Lei Li (Fishes, 2026)
Using a three-factor orthogonal design, we investigated the transcriptomic and histological responses of triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gills across three salinities (10, 20, and 30 ppt) over 60 days, with temperature and body size as background conditions. Results showed that 20 ppt was associated with extensive transcriptional reprogramming, with 3333 differentially expressed transcripts (DETs), whereas 30 ppt induced only 120 DETs; WGCNA further identified salinity-correlated modules involved in ion transport and ribosome biogenesis. Histological alterations remained within physiological ranges with no salinity-dependent severity gradient, as confirmed by semi-quantitative scoring. These findings demonstrate that triploid rainbow trout gills employ distinct molecular strategies at medium versus high salinity. Within the 10–30 ppt range examined, 20 ppt was the salinity at which transcriptional reprogramming was most active, suggesting that this intermediate salinity warrants further investigation as a potential acclimation stage.

Radiation resistance in bacteria is a critical trait with implications for biotechnology, medicine and environmental science. Deinococcus species possess unique genomic features that enable their extraordinary survival in extreme environments. However, the diversity of radiation resistance mechanisms across bacteria remains poorly explored. Here, we analysed the genomic diversity and functional gene repertoire of Deinococcus and extended the analysis to a broader set of radiation‐resistant bacteria. We found that highly resistant strains tend to have smaller genomes and harbour more genes positively associated with radiation resistance, highlighting their potential roles in sustaining cellular homeostasis under radiation‐induced stress. By integrating machine learning with curated genomic datasets, we identified key resistance‐associated gene signatures and developed a predictive tool to quantify bacterial radiation resistance. This study offers new insights into the genomic basis of radiation resistance and provides a practical framework for its assessment in environmental and microbial engineering applications.

An Integrated Stratigraphy Study of a Paralic Lacustrine Basin: Insights into the Organic Matter Accumulation - Meizhou Zhang; Xiaomin Zhu; Wenming Ji; Lei Ye; Xinping Zhou; Hongkui Chen; Xingyue Lin; Mianmo Meng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Several shale oil intervals, including those in offshore China, were deposited in paralic lacustrine basins that experienced marine incursions. Marine incursions could be either favorable or unfavorable for the accumulation of organic matter (OM) and shale oil. However, the influence and specific mechanisms of seawater on OM accumulation require further in-depth investigation. During the deposition of the Triassic Chang 7 Member in the Ordos Basin, seawater from the Paleo-Tethys Ocean intruded into the basin. Taking this interval as a case study, this paper employs comprehensive analyses to reveal the influence of marine incursion on water column conditions and OM accumulation. Under humid climatic conditions, the water body was fresh to brackish, characterized by high productivity and oxic–dysoxic conditions. The OM is primarily derived from algae, and its accumulation was jointly controlled by primary productivity, redox conditions, and terrigenous input. OM accumulation is controlled by fluctuations in the relative water level (RWL) associated with third-order sequences. During the period of high RWL, seawater incursions enhanced water column productivity and reduced conditions by increasing nutrient supply and salinity, resulting in the highest OM content. During the early and late periods of the RWL, as seawater receded, OM production declined while consumption and dilution increased, resulting in a gradual decrease in its content. The RWL fluctuations at the fourth-order scale also significantly influence OM accumulation. These results can enhance the understanding of OM accumulation in paralic lacustrine basins with a history of seawater incursion. While promoting shale oil exploration in the Ordos Basin, they can also serve as a research analog for shale oil exploration in basins with similar geological backgrounds, such as the Bohai Bay Basin.

Differences in Habitat Substrate Preference Selection Among Sexes and Populations of Leptobotia elongata - Lixiong Yu; Min Wang; Jiaxin Li; Fengyue Zhu; Yuliang Yuan; Huiwu Tian; Mingdian Liu; Weiwei Dong; Ji Yang; Senfan Ke; Chenyu Lin; Xinbin Duan (Fishes, 2026)
Cascade hydropower development in the upper Yangtze River has substantially altered riverine habitat conditions. However, quantitative information on fish substrate preferences remains limited. Based on field surveys, six representative substrate types were identified in the Yibin and Jiangjin reaches, and substrate selection patterns of Leptobotia elongata were quantified under controlled flume conditions. This study examined sex-specific and population-level differences in substrate preference. A total of 50 samples were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The results are summarized as follows: (1) Substrates of 40–20 mm: Individual female L. elongata exhibited the longest residence time on the 40 mm substrate (1640 s), while individual males also spent the longest time on the 40 mm substrate (1549 s). Within this substrate range, males showed a preference only for the 40 mm substrate (PR = 739), whereas females preferred three substrate types, with the strongest preference for the 40 mm substrate (PR = 7543). (2) Substrates of 10–2.5 mm: Female individuals spent the longest time on the 10 mm substrate (1468 s), and male individuals likewise showed the longest residence time on the 10 mm substrate (1568 s). In this range, males did not show a significant preference for any substrate (PR = −907), whereas females preferred three substrate types, with the 2.5 mm substrate exhibiting the highest preference intensity (PR = 2059). (3) Population-level patterns for 40–20 mm substrates: The population spent the longest time on the 40 mm substrate (1799 s) and preferred three substrate types, among which the 20 mm substrate had the highest preference ratio relative to the other preferred substrates (PR = 4750). (4) Population-level patterns for 10–2.5 mm substrates: The longest residence time was observed on the 10 mm substrate (1762 s). The population preferred three substrate types, with the 10 mm substrate showing the highest preference ratio (PR = 5709). Overall, L. elongata showed a general tendency to prefer larger-sized substrates. This preference is likely associated with enhanced habitat complexity, improved foraging opportunities, and the formation of low-velocity refuges. Our results suggest that maintaining or restoring coarse substrate patches in regulated reaches may improve habitat suitability for L. elongata and potentially benefit other benthic fishes with similar ecological requirements.

Numerical Modeling of Vegetation Influence on Tsunami-Induced Scour Mechanisms - Xiaosheng Ji; Jiufeng Ji; Ying-Tien Lin; Dongrui Han; Ningdong You; Yong Liu; Yingying Fan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Tsunami-induced scour around coastal embankments and nearshore structures is a primary cause of structural instability and failure. However, the hydrodynamic mechanisms by which coastal vegetation mitigates this scour remain insufficiently understood. This study employs three-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the influence of rigid and flexible vegetation on overflow-induced scour downstream of embankments and local scour around structures under tsunami-like inundation. The simulations were conducted using Ansys Fluent 2021R2, utilizing the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method to capture the free surface and the RNG k − ε turbulence model within the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) framework. Computational geometries were reconstructed from laboratory experiments, and the model’s reliability was validated against measured water surface profiles. The results demonstrated that vegetation significantly alters flow dynamics, velocity distributions, vortex structures, and both the magnitude and patterns of bed shear stress within scour holes. Specifically, in overflow-induced scour, vegetation suppresses scour intensity by inducing backwater effects, enhancing momentum diffusion, attenuating flow impingement on the bed, and reducing peak bed shear stress. Conversely, for local scour around structures, vegetation increases upstream water depth while intensifying downstream wake vortices, leading to scour hole elongation—particularly under dense and tall vegetation. These findings offer novel insights into the hydrodynamics of vegetation-induced scour mitigation and provide guidelines for optimizing vegetation configurations to enhance the tsunami resilience of coastal infrastructure.

Tidal Dynamics Shaped the Dissolved Organic Carbon Fate and Exchange Flux Across Estuary-Coastal Water Continuum in Zhanjiang Bay, China - Xiao-Ling Chen; Peng Zhang; Ying-Xian He; Lin Zhou; Ji-Biao Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is central to biogeochemical cycles in estuarine-coastal zones, with its source-sink dynamics linking regional ecological functions to global carbon budgets. As a typical semi-enclosed bay in southern China, Zhanjiang Bay (ZJB) features intense tidal mixing and significant seasonal runoff variations, making it a representative system for understanding DOM dynamics in complex land–sea interaction zones. The migration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is crucial for bay carbon budgets, yet its estimation is constrained by land–water interface dynamics and in situ observation limitations. To clarify the regulation of DOM’s fate and exchange flux in ZJB, this study integrated in situ observations, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and three-dimensional fluorescence techniques to analyze DOM tidal dynamics and net DOC exchange flux. Results indicated terrestrial runoff dominated rainy-season DOC sources, resulting in slightly higher concentrations (1.86 ± 0.46 mg·L−1) compared to the dry season (1.82 ± 0.20 mg·L−1). Terrestrial inputs endowed rainy-season DOM with high molecular weight and aromaticity, with microbial humic substances (C2) accounting for 36%. Tidal fluctuations affected DOC via water exchange: ebb tides diluted concentrations with low-DOC open-ocean seawater, while flood tides increased them through high-DOC bay water discharge. Dry-season DOM relied on in situ biotransformation, characterized by low molecular weight and aromaticity, with the protein-like fraction (C4) accounting for 24.3%. Fluorescence index (FI = 1.77–1.79) confirmed DOM as a mixture of allochthonous and autochthonous sources, with significant in situ contributions and weak humification. Net DOC exchange flux, regulated by terrestrial runoff, was 3.6–4.6 times higher in the rainy season, decreasing from the estuary to the coast. In conclusion, the joint regulation of terrestrial runoff-driven seasonal dynamics and tidal water exchange governs ZJB’s DOM dynamics, providing valuable insights for biogeochemical research in semi-enclosed bays.
