miR-24-3p Regulates Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition and the Malignant Phenotype of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma by Regulating ASF1B Expression - Wentao Huang; Tiansheng Lin; Long Huang; Junyi Wu; Jiaming Hong; Funan Qiu; Yifeng Tian; Yaodong Wang (Biochemical Genetics, 2023)
Anti-silencing function protein 1 homolog B (ASF1B) has been implicated in the occurrence and development of cancers. The present work explored the functional role and the expression regulation of ASF1B in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Based on the real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), ASF1B was significantly upregulated in PDAC tissues. High expression of ASF1B was associated with a poor overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (DFS) in the PDAC patients. ASF1B also showed a relatively higher expression in PDAC cells (AsPC-1, PANC-1) when compared with human pancreatic ductal epithelial cells (HPDFe-6). CCK8 and clone formation assay demonstrated that silencing ASF1B impaired the proliferation in PANC-1 and AsPC-1 cells, and Annexin V-PI staining showed an increased level of apoptosis upon ASF1B silencing. ASF1B silencing also suppressed the migration and invasion in PDAC cells, as revealed by Transwell assays. We further showed that miR-24-3p was downregulated in PDAC tissues and cells, which functionally interacted with ASF1B by dual-luciferase reporter assay. miR-24-3p negatively regulated ASF1B expression to modulate the malignant phenotype of PDAC cells. ASF1B shows high expression in PDAC, which promotes the malignancy and EMT process of PDAC cells. miR-24-3p is a negative regulator of ASF1B and is downregulated in PDAC cells. Our data suggest that targeting ASF1B/miR-24-3p axis may serve as an intervention strategy for the management of PDAC.

Metabolic reprogramming of Helicoverpa armigera larvae by HearNPV facilitates viral replication and host immune suppression - Zhiqiang Tian; Lin Zhu; J. P. Michaud; Meng Zha; Jie Cheng; Zhongjian Shen; Xiaoming Liu; Xiaoxia Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Baculoviruses are highly evolved parasites that genetically reprogram the developing phenotype of their host insect to produce a vessel for virus replication and dispersal. Here we show that larvae of Helicoverpa armigera infected with HearNPV accumulate glucose in the midgut, which reduces food consumption and alters the dynamics of pathways governing metabolism and immunity. We used transcriptomics to demonstrate the role of the insulin signalling pathway in regulating the HearNPV infection process. Dietary restriction decreased mortality of infected larvae and reduced viral replication prior to death, whereas dietary supplementation with glucose produced the opposite effects. The expression of most tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and energy metabolism‐related genes was reduced in infected larvae, whereas the expression of immunity‐, glycolysis‐ and insulin‐related genes was enhanced. Treatment of infected larvae with insulin increased their survival, reduced viral replication and inhibited climbing behaviour compared to a control treatment with DMSO, whereas RNAi suppression of the insulin receptor gene produced the opposite effects. Inhibition of glycolysis with dichloroacetate (DCA) promoted viral replication and accelerated larval death, but inhibition of the TCA cycle with 2‐deoxyglucose (2‐DG) did not, although both diminished climbing behaviour. This work demonstrates that successful baculovirus infections hinge on metabolic reprogramming of the host and concurrent suppression of immune responses in the larval midgut, with the insulin signalling pathway mediating a trade‐off between glucose metabolism and virus resistance.

Application of the Gini Index on the Evaluation of the Environmental Heterogeneity and Habitat Suitability Index for Larval Gobies - Lu Zhai; Rong Wan; Siquan Tian; Zengguang Li; Pengbo Song; Jun Lin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Spatial environmental heterogeneity in the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) is always mentioned but rarely quantified and included in the evaluation process. This study introduced the habitat suitability index evaluation model based on the Gini index (HSIgini) to evaluate the optimal ranges of suitable environmental factors for three typical estuarine gobies, i.e., Rhinogobius giurinus, Acentrogobius pflaumii, Odontamblyopus rubicundus, and their habitat quality. The evaluation was carried out based on field surveys conducted in the spring and summer of 2018–2020. The Lorentz curve and Gini index were used to evaluate the spatial environmental heterogeneities in the YRE. The spatial heterogeneity of environmental factors in the Yangtze Estuary ranged from 0.62 to 0.05, with the highest Gini index for salinity and the lowest for temperature. The combination of environmental factors had significant spatial effects on habitat, with temperature showing mainly seasonal effects. The study indicated that the YRE is a good habitat for gobies and that there is spatial and seasonal differentiation in the habitats of different species, greatly reducing interspecific competition. Environmental heterogeneity is important for biological processes and should be incorporated into the modeling of bio–environmental relationships in future research to provide a basis for environmental and biological conservation and management.

Provenance and paleoenvironmental significance of sediments in the Beipo seamount of the northern South China Sea during the last deglaciation - Xu Tian; Xilin Zhang; Jinli Wang; Zhilei Sun; Ming Liu; Jinhuan Zhao; Lin Zhang; Dejiang Fan; Fangjian Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The sedimentary processes of seamount regions are closely related to climate change and ocean evolution. The clay minerals, grain size and 14 C ages of core SCS18-1, which was collected from the Beipo seamount in the northern South China Sea (SCS) were analyzed to discuss the provenance and paleoenvironmental conditions during the last deglaciation. The sediments of core SCS18-1 are dominated by clayey silt, which is mainly composed of illite (55.2~62.1%) and chlorite (17.1~22.5%), with subordinate kaolinite (9.5~12.6%) and smectite (7.3~15.1%). The illite chemical index and illite crystallinity indicate strong physical weathering conditions. The results of the end-member modeling algorithm (EMMA) suggest that the sediments of core SCS18-1 consist of three end-members containing EM1 (0.98 μm), EM2 (9.29 μm) and EM3 (44.19 μm), with average contents of 3%, 66% and 31%, respectively. The finest endmember represents fluvial mud, the middle and coarsest endmembers are considered fluvial fine silt and eolian dust, respectively. The mean grain size is mainly controlled by the coarser fraction EM3. Based on the clay minerals, grain size and SEM analysis, we can conclude that since the onset of the last deglaciation (16.1 ka BP), the sediments of core SCS18-1 mainly originate from fluvial input, and eolian material also contributed to the sediments. The clay mineral assemblages of core SCS18-1 are stable and originate mainly from Taiwan. Additionally, the Pearl River appears to be a secondary contributor of clay minerals. Further, the Luzon Islands only account for a small proportion. Major kaolinite and moderate illite and chlorite are thought to originate from the Pearl River, predominant illite and chlorite from Taiwan, and principal smectite from the Luzon Islands. Both the relative content of EM1+ EM2 and the illite chemical index effectively represent the variation of East Asia summer monsoon (EASM) strength. Meanwhile, the relative content of EM3 effectively represents the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) change. The material supply of core SCS18-1 is mainly controlled by solar radiation in the Northern Hemisphere.

Subsurface oxygen minima regulated by remineralization and bottom flushing along 123°E in the inner East China Sea - Bin Wang; Jianfang Chen; Haiyan Jin; Dewang Li; Shengquan Gao; Shichao Tian; Lin Sun; Haizhou Zhang; Linwei Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The summer hypoxia off the Changjiang Estuary is one of the largest coastal hypoxic systems in the world and has displayed spatial heterogeneity in recent years. Based on observation data in the summer of 2014, hypoxia was identified both in the bottom and mid-layers. Except for the typical bottom hypoxia in the submarine canyon, the subsurface oxygen minima (SOM) were captured in the mid-layer of 10~15 m, with lower dissolved oxygen in the mid-layer than at the bottom (30–50 m). This SOM phenomenon was located in the lower boundary of the pycnocline and above the Taiwan warm current (TWC) and Kuroshio subsurface water (KSSW). Due to the southern expansion of Changjiang diluted water (CDW), a high phytoplankton biomass (the maximum chlorophyll a of 25 μg L −1 , pH of 8.6, and DO of 11 mg L −1 ) band occupied the surface area along 123°E. By analyzing the 24-h continuous observation and high-resolution profile data, we revealed that the subsurface oxygen minima were predominantly controlled by remineralization and bottom-flushing effects. Fast local consumption occurred near the pycnocline layer, while the lateral transport of oxygen-rich ambient water replenished the bottom oxygen deficit from south to north. We summarize and contextualize three hot spots of hypoxia into a conceptual diagram and emphasize the influences of advection, mixing, and respiration on their location and severity. Overall, compared with the discussion about the low DO background of TWC/KSSW, this research highlights the flushing effects of TWC/KSSW that will reshape the hypoxia structure and alleviate the hypoxia severity in the south hypoxia area off the Changjiang Estuary.

Nitrogen mineralization and immobilization in surface sediments of coastal reclaimed aquaculture ecosystems - Xianbiao Lin; Genmei Lin; Yijie Zheng; Wenjing Li; Peng Guo; Shiyuan Fan; Tiantian Kong; Dongfan Tian; Dongyao Sun; Zhuo Shen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Sediment nitrogen (N) mineralization and immobilization are two crucial processes driven by microorganisms, which may play significant roles in the regulation of water quality in aquaculture ecosystems. However, limited information is available about the quantitative importance of sedimentary N mineralization and immobilization in coastal aquaculture systems. Here, a combination of incubation experiments with a 15 N isotope dilution technique were employed, aiming to quantify N mineralization and immobilization processes in surface sediments (0–5 cm) of three types of aquaculture ecosystems (seabass, white shrimp, and green crab ponds) reclaimed within the western bank of the Pearl River Estuary. Our results showed that no significant difference in sediment N mineralization and immobilization rates, microbial abundances, and organic matter among different aquaculture types on small-scale range. Meanwhile, prolonged pond-drying significant reduced sediment N mineralization and immobilization rates, bacterial abundances, organic matter, moisture content, ferrous ion (Fe 2+ ), Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ , and ammonium (NH 4 + ), while not strongly altered sediment percentage of NH 4 + mineralized per day (PAM), relative ammonium immobilization (RAI), fungal abundances, TOC/TN, nitrate (NO 3 − ), and δ 13 C org . N mineralization and immobilization rates were both significantly related to overlying water NO 3 − , as well as sediment moisture content, bulk density, organic matter, Fe 2+ , and microbial abundances. In addition, the total mineralized and immobilized N in aquaculture surface sediments from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were estimated to be approximately 4.55×10 4 and 3.68×10 4 t N yr -1 , respectively. Higher N mineralization relative to N immobilized fluxes indicated that the sediment serves as an important source of eutrophication in reclaimed aquaculture system of coastal wetlands.

Fast satellite selection algorithm for GNSS multi-system based on Sherman–Morrison formula - Junpeng Shi; Kezhao Li; Lin Chai; Lingfeng Liang; Chendong Tian; Keke Xu (GPS Solutions, 2023)
Efficient use of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) observations improves when applying rational satellite selection algorithms. By combining the Sherman–Morrison formula and singular value decomposition, a smaller-GDOP (geometric dilution of precision)-value method is proven for an increasing number of visible satellites. By combining this smaller-GDOP-value method with the maximum-volume-tetrahedron method, a new rapid satellite selection algorithm based on the Sherman–Morrison formula for GNSS multi-systems is proposed. The basic idea of the algorithm is as follows: First, the maximum-volume-tetrahedron method is used to obtain four initial visible satellites. Then, the other visible satellites are selected by using the smaller-GDOP-value method to reduce the GDOP value and improve the accuracy of the overall algorithm. When the number of included satellites reaches a certain value, the rate of GDOP decrease tends to approach zero. Considering the algorithm precision and the computation efficiency, reasonable thresholds and end of calculation condition equation are given, which can make the proposed algorithm autonomous. The reasonable thresholds and the end of calculation parameters are suggested by means of experiments. Under the thresholds and the end of calculation parameters, the algorithm has an adaptive functionality. Furthermore, the GDOP values of the algorithm are less than 2, indicating that this algorithm can meet one of the requirements of high-precision navigation. Moreover, compared with the computation complexity values of the optimal GDOP estimation method, which includes all visible satellites, the values of the new algorithm are about half, indicating that this algorithm has a rapid performance. These findings verify that the proposed satellite selection algorithm based on the Sherman–Morrison formula provides autonomous functionality, high-performance computing, and high-accuracy results.

Aloe polysaccharide promotes osteogenesis potential of adipose-derived stromal cells via BMP-2/Smads and prevents ovariectomized-induced osteoporosis - Xue-wei Yao; He-dong Liu; Mao-xian Ren; Tian-lin Li; Wen-kai Jiang; Zhi Zhou; Zhi-yi Liu; Min Yang (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Background Aloe polysaccharide (AP) is a type of an active macromolecule of Aloe vera, which contributes to its function. However, whether AP possesses anti-osteoporosis properties is unknown. Methods Adipose-derived stromal cells were treated with different concentrations of AP. Early and late osteogenesis were, respectively, evaluated by ALP and Alizarin Red S staining. The effect of AP on the processes of adipogenesis inhibition in ADSCs was analyzed by oil red O staining. Western blot was used to assess the expression of osteogenic and adipogenic related factors. Then, Noggin was administered to further confirm the mechanism by which AP promotes the osteogenesis of ADSCs. Finally, 40 female SD rats were classified into a bilateral laparotomy group (Sham group) and three bilateral ovariectomy groups: OVX group, OVX + AP group, and OVX + AP + Noggin group. The bilateral rat femurs were collected to perform micro-CT scanning, HE, Masson trichrome, and Oil red O staining. Results The results indicated that AP could increase ALP expression and calcium deposition. Through molecular mechanisms, AP promotes the protein expression of COL1A1, OPN, and ALP in ADSCs, but downregulates the expression of PPARγ. Also, AP directs ADSCs’ fate by stimulating the BMP2/Smads signaling pathway. In vivo, the rat AP-treated had more trabecular bone than the OVX rat, indicating partial protection from cancellous bone loss after treatment with AP. Conclusion Our results show that AP may promote osteogenesis of ADSCs through BMP-2/Smads signaling pathway and inhibits lipogenic differentiation. Thus, AP might be a promising alternative medicine to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Long‐term drought aggravates instability of alpine grassland productivity to extreme climatic event - Yun L. He; Jin S. Wang; Da S. Tian; Quan Quan; Lin Jiang; Fang F. Ma; Lu Yang; Fang Y. Zhang; Qing P. Zhou; Shu L. Niu (Ecology, 2022)
The frequency and severity of extreme weather events are increasing and expected to increase more in the future, together with global change. However, how extreme events and global change factors interactively influence community structures and ecosystem processes is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the responses of the temporal stability and resilience of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) of an alpine meadow to an extreme flooding event under different treatments of experimental drought and clipping. We found that ecosystems that were exposed to drought treatments for 3 years significantly decreased the temporal stability of community productivity but increased resilience to flooding, whereas their resistance to or recovery from flooding did not change. Neither clipping nor its interaction with drought altered the responses of these community stability metrics to flooding. Drought treatments significantly decreased plant species richness and asynchrony and dominant species stability, leading to a decrease in temporal stability and an increase in resilience in response to the extreme flooding event. The study also revealed that the change in species asynchrony was the dominant impact pathway determining the responses of resilience and temporal stability to flooding. Our results highlight that alpine grassland that experiences a multiyear drought may aggravate the instability of community productivity to extreme climatic events by reducing species asynchrony.

Countrywide inter‐epidemic region migration pattern suggests the role of southwestern population in wheat stripe rust epidemics in China - Muhammad Awais; Sajid Ali; Meng Ju; Wei Liu; Gensheng Zhang; Zedong Zhang; Zejian Li; Xinyao Ma; Lin Wang; Zhimin Du; Xiaxia Tian; Qingdong Zeng; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Understanding countrywide pathogen population structure and inter‐epidemic region spread is crucial for deciphering crop potential losses. Wheat stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is a destructive disease that affects worldwide wheat production, widespread in China, representing largest epidemic region globally. This study aimed to understand the population structure and migration route of P . striiformis f. sp. tritici across China based on sampling from 15 provinces representing six epidemic zones, viz., over‐summering, over‐wintering, eastern, Yun‐Gui, Xinjiang and Tibet epidemic regions. High genotypic diversity was recorded in over‐summering, Tibet and over‐wintering epidemic regions. Epidemic regions partly explain population subdivision with variable divergence ( F ST = 0.005–0.344). Xinjiang and Tibet epidemic regions were independent epidemic zones with least sharing of genotypes. Among other epidemic zones, i.e. over‐summering, over‐wintering, eastern and Yun‐Gui epidemic zones, re‐sampling MLGs, clustering‐based structure, DAPC analyses, relative migration and low divergence ( F ST from 0.006 to 0.073) revealed frequent geneflow. Yun‐Gui epidemic regions, with a potential for both over‐summering and over‐wintering, could play an important role in causing epidemics in main wheat‐cultivating areas of China. High diversity, recombination signatures and inter‐epidemic region migration patterns need to be considered in host‐resistant cultivar development in China and neighbouring countries, considering risk of long‐distance migration capacity of pathogen.

Plant secondary metabolite and temperature determine the prevalence of Arsenophonus endosymbionts in aphid populations - Chun‐Yan Chang; Xiao‐Wan Sun; Pan‐Pan Tian; Ning‐Hui Miao; Yu‐Lin Zhang; Xiang‐Dong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Transmission rate and role in hosts contribute to the prevalence of an endosymbiont. However, factors affecting transmission and role of facultative endosymbionts are still not well understood. Here, we illustrated that host plants and environmental temperatures affected the transmission, relative abundance and role of Arsenophonus in the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii . The transmission rate of this endosymbiont from mother aphids to offspring was relatively lower. High temperatures impeded the transmission, and infection rates declined as aphids were exposed to 30°C. Contents of amino acids and secondary metabolites were remarkably different among host plants. Aphids feeding on zucchini leaves containing a higher titre of amino acids and lower secondary metabolites harboured a relatively lower abundance of Arsenophonus . Concentrations of an amino acid and a plant secondary metabolite, cucurbitacin B, in aphid diet were not associated with Arsenophonus abundance. However, gossypol, another plant secondary metabolite, was strongly related with the abundance. Arsenophonus imparted a fitness benefit to aphids, and the benefit was dependent on host plants and gossypol concentration. In sum, plant secondary metabolite and environmental temperature affect transmission, relative abundance and role of Arsenophonus , which determine the endosymbiont prevalence in aphid populations.

To improve the understanding of P. trituberculatus culture ecosystem functioning, the dynamics of energy flow and trophic structure of a P. trituberculatus polyculture system (co-culture with white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and short-necked clam Ruditapes philippinarum ) were investigated in this study. Three Ecopath models representing the early, middle, and late culture periods of a P. trituberculatus polyculture ecosystem, respectively, were constructed to compare ecosystem traits at different culture periods. The results demonstrated that detritus was the main energy source in this polyculture ecosystem, and most of the total system throughput occurred at trophic levels I and II. Artificial food input and consumption by the culture organisms increased from early to middle and late periods, which produced marked impacts on biomass structure and primary production. R. philippinarum was considered to have a dominant influence on phytoplankton community dynamics which changed from nano- to pico-phytoplankton predominance, from the middle to the late period. Considering the low utilization efficiency of pico-phytoplankton production, large amounts of detritus accumulated in the sediment in the late period, which may constitute a potential risk for the ecosystem. Ecological network analyses indicated that the total energy flow and level of system organization increased from the early to the middle and late periods, whereas food web complexity and system resilience decreased from early to middle and late periods, which may indicate a trend of decreasing ecosystem stability. The system may be further optimized by increased stocking density of R. philippinarum and by introducing macro-algae at a suitable biomass to increase ecosystem stability, energy utilization efficiency, and aquaculture production.

Sandstorms cause shrinkage of Haloxylon ammodendron shrubs and limit their self-renewal - Sheng-bo Shi; Dang-wei Zhou; Fang-lin Wang; Rui Shi; Tao Sun; Tian-cai Li; Jia-lin Ma; Xiang Wan; Jian-ping Ma; Jing-nian Tang (Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology, 2022)
Haloxylon ammodendron is an excellent windproof and sand-fixing species whose shrubs are widely cultivated in arid desert areas of northwest China but are now at risk of degradation and shrinkage. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence image analysis technique, the response of photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency and non-photochemical quenching capacity to sediment-carrying wind and sand-free wind (both 12 m s −1 ) lasting for 10, 20, and 40 min were studied with seedlings in a wind tunnel. The results indicated that the sand-free wind had little influence on the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry, F v / F m , which was approximately 0.80 on average; however, the F v / F m decreased over exposure time in the sediment-carrying wind group, with values smaller than those in the wind-only group. The non-photochemical quenching was sensitive to wind erosion, and sediment-carrying wind could aggravate the reduction in non-photochemical quenching ( NPQ ). Except for the 10 min duration, the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry after dark recovery for 15 min, F v r / F m r , was lower in seedlings exposed to sediment-carrying wind than in those in the wind-only group. Compared to wind-only, wind-blown sand led to a water imbalance and withering in seedlings, causing the concentration of photosynthetic pigments (when based on the fresh mass of green branches) to not decrease. With a longer exposure time to sediment-carrying wind, both the probability and extent of lignified spots occurring increased in green assimilative branches. Our results demonstrated that sediment-carrying wind at 12 m s −1 lasting for 20 min or more could cause irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of H. ammodendron seedlings. Therefore, frequent and strong sandstorms are the main disturbance factors leading to shrinkage of shrubs and limiting their self-renewal.

Identification of Key Pathways and Genes in SARS-CoV-2 Infecting Human Intestines by Bioinformatics Analysis - Ji-Chun Chen; Tian-Ao Xie; Zhen-Zong Lin; Yi-Qing Li; Yu-Fei Xie; Zhong-Wei Li; Xu-Guang Guo (Biochemical Genetics, 2022)
COVID-19 is a serious infectious disease that has recently swept the world, and research on its causative virus, SARS-CoV-2, remains insufficient. Therefore, this study uses bioinformatics analysis techniques to explore the human digestive tract diseases that may be caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The gene expression profile data set, numbered GSE149312, is from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and is divided into a 24-h group and a 60-h group. R software is used to analyze and screen out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and then gene ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses are performed. In KEGG, the pathway of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease exists in both the 24-h group and 60-h group. STRING is used to establish a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network, and Cytoscape is then used to visualize the PPI and define the top 12 genes of the node as the hub genes. Through verification, nine statistically significant hub genes are identified: AKT1, TIMP1, NOTCH, CCNA2, RRM2, TTK, BUB1B, KIF20A, and PLK1. In conclusion, the results of this study can provide a certain direction and basis for follow-up studies of SARS-CoV-2 infection of the human digestive tract and provide new insights for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Baculoviruses hijack the visual perception of their caterpillar hosts to induce climbing behaviour thus promoting virus dispersal - Xiaoming Liu; Zhiqiang Tian; Limei Cai; Zhongjian Shen; J. P. Michaud; Lin Zhu; Shuo Yan; Vera I. D. Ros; Kelli Hoover; Zhen Li; Songdou Zhang; Xiaoxia Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
Baculoviruses can induce climbing behaviour in their caterpillar hosts to ensure they die at elevated positions to enhance virus transmission, providing an excellent model to study parasitic manipulation of host behaviour. Here, we demonstrate that climbing behaviour occurred mostly during daylight hours, and that the height at death of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV)‐infected larvae increases with the height of the light source. Phototaxic and electroretinogram (ERG) responses were enhanced after HearNPV‐infection in host larvae, and ablation of stemmata in infected larvae prevented both phototaxis and climbing behaviour. Through transcriptome and quantitative PCR, we confirmed that two opsin genes (a blue light‐sensitive gene, HaBL ; and a long wave‐sensitive gene, HaLW ) as well as the TRPL (transient receptor potential‐like channel protein) gene, all integral to the host's visual perception pathway, were significantly upregulated after HearNPV infection. Knockout of HaBL , HaLW , or TRPL genes using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulted in significantly reduced ERG responses, phototaxis, and climbing behaviour in HearNPV‐infected larvae. These results reveal that HearNPV alters the expression of specific genes to hijack host visual perception at fundamental levels—photoreception and phototransduction—in order to induce climbing behaviour in host larvae.

QTL identification, fine mapping, and marker development for breeding peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) resistant to bacterial wilt - Feiyan Qi; Ziqi Sun; Hua Liu; Zheng Zheng; Li Qin; Lei Shi; Qingzheng Chen; Haidong Liu; Xiufang Lin; Lijuan Miao; Mengdi Tian; Xiao Wang; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022)
Key message A major QTL, qBWA12 , was fine mapped to a 216.68 kb physical region, and A12.4097252 was identified as a useful KASP marker for breeding peanut varieties resistant to bacterial wilt. Abstract Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum , is a major disease detrimental to peanut production in China. Breeding disease-resistant peanut varieties is the most economical and effective way to prevent the disease and yield loss. Fine mapping the QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance is critical for the marker-assisted breeding of disease-resistant varieties. A recombinant inbred population comprising 521 lines was used to construct a high-density genetic linkage map and to identify QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance following restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing. The genetic map, which included 5120 SNP markers, covered a length of 3179 cM with an average marker distance of 0.6 cM. Four QTLs for bacterial wilt resistance were mapped on four chromosomes. One major QTL, qBWA12 , with LOD score of 32.8–66.0 and PVE of 31.2–44.8%, was stably detected in all four development stages investigated over the 3 trial years. Additionally, qBWA12 spanned a 2.7 cM region, corresponding to approximately 0.4 Mb and was fine mapped to a 216.7 kb region by applying KASP markers that were polymorphic between the two parents based on whole-genome resequencing data. In a large collection of breeding and germplasm lines, it was proved that KASP marker A12.4097252 can be applied for the marker-assisted breeding to develop peanut varieties resistant to bacterial wilt. Of the 19 candidate genes in the region covered by qBWA12 , nine NBS-LRR genes should be further investigated regarding their potential contribution to the resistance of peanut against bacterial wilt.

Genetic and biological characteristics of the globally circulating H5N8 avian influenza viruses and the protective efficacy offered by the poultry vaccine currently used in China - Pengfei Cui; Xianying Zeng; Xuyong Li; Yanbing Li; Jianzhong Shi; Conghui Zhao; Zhiyuan Qu; Yanwen Wang; Jing Guo; Wenli Gu; Qi Ma; Yuancheng Zhang; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2022)
The H5N8 avian influenza viruses have been widely circulating in wild birds and are responsible for the loss of over 33 million domestic poultry in Europe, Russia, Middle East, and Asia since January 2020. To monitor the invasion and spread of the H5N8 virus in China, we performed active surveillance by analyzing 317 wild bird samples and swab samples collected from 41,172 poultry all over the country. We isolated 22 H5N8 viruses from wild birds and 14 H5N8 viruses from waterfowls. Genetic analysis indicated that the 36 viruses formed two different genotypes: one genotype viruses were widely detected from different wild birds and domestic waterfowls; the other genotype was isolated from a whopper swan. We further revealed the origin and spatiotemporal spread of these two distinct H5N8 virus genotypes in 2020 and 2021. Animal studies indicated that the H5N8 isolates are highly pathogenic to chickens, mildly pathogenic in ducks, but have distinct pathotypes in mice. Moreover, we found that vaccinated poultry in China could be completely protected against H5N8 virus challenge. Given that the H5N8 viruses are likely to continue to spread in wild birds, vaccination of poultry is highly recommended in high-risk countries to prevent H5N8 avian influenza.

Zkscan3 affects erythroblast development by regulating the transcriptional activity of GATA1 and KLF1 in mice - Zixuan Li; Binjie Sheng; Tingting Zhang; Tian Wang; Dan Chen; Gangli An; Xingbing Wang; Huimin Meng; Lin Yang (Journal of Molecular Histology, 2022)
ZKSCAN3 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that regulates the expression of important genes and plays a significant role in tumor development, pathogenesis, and metastasis. However, its biological functions under normal physiological conditions remain largely unknown. In our previous studies, using flow cytometry, we found that the deletion of Zkscan3 may cause abnormal erythropoiesis. In this study, we found that, in a Zkscan3 knockout mice model, the number of splenic early-stage (basophilic-erythroblasts) and late-stage (chromatophilic-erythroblasts to polychromatophilic-erythroblasts through orthochromatophilic-erythroblasts) erythroblasts increased, whereas the number of late erythroblasts in the bone marrow decreased. Moreover, the phenotype was exacerbated after treating mice with phenylhydrazine (PHZ), which causes severe hemolytic anemia. In the knockout mice treated with PHZ, the percentage of reticulocyte in the peripheral blood conspicuously increased, whereas MCHC and red blood cells decreased. Then, we performed RNA-seq and quantitative-polymerase chain reaction assay and found that the expression of GATA1 and Tiam1 in erythroblasts were upregulated, whereas KLF1 was downregulated. Luciferase assays showed that Zkscan3 inhibited the transcription of GATA1 and Tiam1 and promoted the expression of KLF1 . Additionally, ChIP and CO-IP results confirmed that Zkscan3 directly interacts with GATA1 and inhibits its transcriptional activity in MEL cells. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, the significant role of Zkscan3 in physiological erythropoiesis through the interaction with GATA1, both at the DNA and protein level, and with Tiam1 and KLF1 at the DNA level.

Functional traits explain the consistent resistance of biodiversity to plant invasion under nitrogen enrichment - Shao‐peng Li; Pu Jia; Shu‐ya Fan; Yingtong Wu; Xiang Liu; Yani Meng; Yue Li; Wen‐sheng Shu; Jin‐tian Li; Lin Jiang (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Elton's biotic resistance hypothesis, which posits that diverse communities should be more resistant to biological invasions, has received considerable experimental support. However, it remains unclear whether such a negative diversity–invasibility relationship would persist under anthropogenic environmental change. By using the common ragweed ( Ambrosia artemisiifolia ) as a model invader, our 4‐year grassland experiment demonstrated consistently negative relationships between resident species diversity and community invasibility, irrespective of nitrogen addition, a result further supported by a meta‐analysis. Importantly, our experiment showed that plant diversity consistently resisted invasion simultaneously through increased resident biomass, increased trait dissimilarity among residents, and increased community‐weighted means of resource‐conservative traits that strongly resist invasion, pointing to the importance of both trait complementarity and sampling effects for invasion resistance even under resource enrichment. Our study provides unique evidence that considering species’ functional traits can help further our understanding of biotic resistance to biological invasions in a changing environment.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Paragonimus skrjabini Complex from Yunnan, China: A Brief Report - Qiu-Hong Shu; Shu-De Li; Ming Tian; Yong Meng; Shu-Mei-Qi He; Min Zhu; Miao-Miao Wang; Wen-Lin Wang (Acta Parasitologica, 2022)
Purpose To perform environmental sampling and molecular identification of Paragonimus in endemic regions, which may help in minimizing transmission among humans. Methods Mountain crabs from the genus Potamiscus were collected and the encysted metacercariae were extracted and subjected to morphological identification, followed by animal inoculation in Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. After 112 days of infection, animals were killed and adult worms were extracted from lungs and muscles. The morphology of adult worms was characterized by microscopy and molecular identification was done by polymerase chain reaction, followed by sequencing of cox1 and ITS2 genes. Phylogenetic analysis was done by maximum parsimony method. Results A total of 447 crabs were captured from the streams of Tongchang Town, Jinping County, Yunnan Province, China. The infection rate was found to be 41% (186 out of 447 crabs). The metacercariae of Paragonimus skrjabini was identified by the characteristics round or spherical encysted form measuring 410 to 460 × 400 to 460 µm. After animal infection in SD rats, adults were presumptively confirmed to be P. skrjabini , which was also confirmed by gene amplification and sequence analysis of cox1 and ITS2 regions. Paragonimus skrjabini clustered with previously reported P. skrjabini from Yunnan and Vietnam. The confidence values of their branches were > 95%. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS2 region revealed two distinct clusters with distinct geographical grouping. Phylogenetic analysis with the combined data sets reiterated the geographical grouping with P. skrjabini from Yunnan clustering with strains from Vietnam. Conclusion Metacercariae of P. skrjabini was discovered in freshwater crabs in Yunnan province, China, and the strains were phylogenetically related to P. skrjabini from Vietnam.

Individual exposure to ambient PM2.5 and hospital admissions for COPD in 110 hospitals: a case-crossover study in Guangzhou, China - Jie-Qi Jin; Dong Han; Qi Tian; Zhao-Yue Chen; Yun-Shao Ye; Qiao-Xuan Lin; Chun-Quan Ou; Li Li (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Few studies have evaluated the short-term association between hospital admissions and individual exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM 2.5 ). Particularly, no studies focused on hospital admissions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at the individual level. We assessed the short-term effects of PM 2.5 on hospitalization admissions for COPD in Guangzhou, China, during 2014–2015, based on satellite-derived estimates of ambient PM 2.5 concentrations at a 1-km resolution near the residential address as individual-level exposure for each patient. Around 40,002 patients with COPD admitted to 110 hospitals were included in this study. A time-stratified case-crossover design with conditional logistic regression models was applied to assess the effects of PM 2.5 based on a 1-km grid data of aerosol optical depth provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on hospital admissions for COPD. Further, we performed stratified analyses by individual demographic characteristics and season of hospital admission. Around 10 μg/m 3 increase in individual-level PM 2.5 was associated with an increase of 1.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.6%, 2.7%) in hospitalization for COPD at a lag of 0–5 days. The impact of PM 2.5 on hospitalization for COPD was greater significantly in males and patients admitted in summer. Our study strengthened the evidence for the adverse effect of PM 2.5 based on satellite-based individual-level exposure data.
