Rat Hair Metabolomics Analysis Reveals Perturbations of Unsaturated Fatty Acid Biosynthesis, Phenylalanine, and Arachidonic Acid Metabolism Pathways Are Associated with Amyloid-β-Induced Cognitive Deficits - Tian-Hoe Tan; Shih-Wen Li; Chih-Wei Chang; Yuan-Chih Chen; Yu-Hsuan Liu; Jui-Ti Ma; Ching-Ping Chang; Pao-Chi Liao (Molecular Neurobiology, 2023)
Hair is a noninvasive valuable biospecimen for the long-term assessment of endogenous metabolic disturbance. Whether the hair is suitable for identifying biomarkers of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) process remains unknown. We aim to investigate the metabolism changes in hair after β-amyloid (Aβ 1-42 ) exposure in rats using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry–based untargeted and targeted methods. Thirty-five days after Aβ 1-42 induction, rats displayed significant cognitive deficits, and forty metabolites were changed, of which twenty belonged to three perturbed pathways: (1) phenylalanine metabolism and phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis— l -phenylalanine, phenylpyruvate, ortho-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and phenyllactic acid are up-regulated; (2) arachidonic acid (ARA) metabolism—leukotriene B4 (LTB4), arachidonyl carnitine, and 5(S)-HPETE are upregulation, but ARA, 14,15-DiHETrE, 5(S)-HETE, and PGB2 are opposite; and (3) unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis— eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), FA 18:3 + 1O, and FA 18:3 + 2O are downregulated. Linoleic acid metabolism belonging to the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acid includes the upregulation of 8-hydroxy-9,10-epoxystearic acid, 13-oxoODE, and FA 18:2 + 4O, and downregulation of 9(S)-HPODE and dihomo-γ-linolenic acid. In addition, cortisone and dehydroepiandrosterone belonging to steroid hormone biosynthesis are upregulated. These three perturbed metabolic pathways also correlate with cognitive impairment after Aβ 1-42 stimulation. Furthermore, ARA, DHA, EPA, l -phenylalanine, and cortisone have been previously implicated in the cerebrospinal fluid of AD patients and show a similar changing trend in Aβ 1-42 rats’ hair. These data suggest hair can be a useful biospecimen that well reflects the expression of non-polar molecules under Aβ 1-42 stimulation, and the five metabolites have the potential to serve as novel AD biomarkers.

Deepened snow cover increases grassland soil carbon stocks by incorporating carbon inputs into deep soil layers - Meifeng Deng; Ping Li; Weixing Liu; Pengfei Chang; Lu Yang; Zhenhua Wang; Jing Wang; Lingli Liu (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Climate‐induced changes in snow cover can greatly impact winter soil microclimate and spring water supply. These effects, in turn, can influence plant and microbial activity and the strength of leaching processes, potentially altering the distribution and storage of soil organic carbon (SOC) across different soil depths. However, few studies have examined how changes in snow cover will affect SOC stocks, and even less is known about the impact of snow cover on SOC dynamics along soil profiles. By selecting 11 snow fences along a 570 km climate gradient in Inner Mongolia, covering arid, temperate, and meadow steppes, we measured plant and microbial biomass, community composition, SOC content, and other soil parameters from topsoil to a depth of 60 cm. We found that deepened snow increased aboveground and belowground plant biomass, as well as microbial biomass. Plant and microbial carbon input were positively correlated with grassland SOC stocks. More importantly, we found that deepened snow altered SOC distribution along vertical soil profiles. The increase in SOC caused by deepened snow was much greater in the subsoil (+74.7%; 40–60 cm) than that in the topsoil (+19.0%; 0–5 cm). Additionally, the controls on SOC content under deepened snow differed between the topsoil and subsoil layers. The increase in microbial and root biomass jointly enhanced topsoil C accumulation, while the increase in leaching processes became critical in promoting subsoil C accumulation. We conclude that under deepened snow, the subsoil had a high capacity to sink C by incorporating C leached from the topsoil, suggesting that the subsoil, originally thought to be climate insensitive, could have a higher response to precipitation changes due to vertical C transport. Our study highlights the importance of considering soil depth when assessing the impacts of snow cover changes on SOC dynamics.

Comparison of Growth Performance and Muscle Nutrition Levels of Juvenile Siniperca scherzeri Fed on an Iced Trash Fish Diet and a Formulated Diet - Maoyuan Wang; Mingyong Lai; Tian Tian; Meiying Wu; Yinhua Liu; Ping Liang; Liuting Huang; Zhiqing Qin; Xiaojun Ye; Wei Xiao; Honggui Huang (Fishes, 2023)
To assess the possibility of using a formulated diet instead of an iced trash fish diet for feeding spotted mandarin fish (Siniperca scherzeri), a 20-week feeding trial was conducted. The objective of the study was to examine the effects of the formulated diet (FG) and the iced trash fish diet (XG) on the growth performance and muscle nutrient composition of the fish. The results showed that the spotted mandarin fish fed with an XG had slightly higher survival rates, weight gain rate, fullness, hepatic index, and viscera index compared to those fed with an FG, although the differences were not significant (p > 0.05). Additionally, in terms of muscle composition, the FG group had higher levels of crude protein and ash content in the fish muscle compared to the XG group (p

Human Amniotic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate aGVHD after allo-HSCT by Regulating Interactions between Gut Microbiota and Intestinal Immunity - Xiaoyin Bu; Junhui Wang; Zhao Yin; Weifeng Pan; Liping Liu; Hua Jin; Qifa Liu; Lei Zheng; Haitao Sun; Ya Gao; Baohong Ping (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2023)
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation poses one of the most vexing challenges. Gut microbiota dysbiosis can proceed aGVHD and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have promising therapeutic potential for aGVHD. However, whether hAMSCs affect the gut microbiota during aGVHD mitigation remains unknown. Accordingly, we sought to define the effects and underlying mechanisms of human amniotic membrane-derived MSCs (hAMSCs) regulating the gut microbiota and intestinal immunity in aGVHD. By establishing humanized aGVHD mouse models and hAMSCs treatment, we found that hAMSCs significantly ameliorated aGVHD symptoms, reversed the immune imbalance of T cell subsets and cytokines, and restored intestinal barrier. Moreover, the diversity and composition of gut microbiota were improved upon treatment with hAMSCs. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed that there was a correlation between the gut microbiota and tight junction proteins, immune cells as well as cytokines. Our research suggested that hAMSCs alleviated aGVHD by promoting gut microbiota normalization and regulating the interactions between the gut microbiota and intestinal barrier, immunity.

LRRC1 is a regulator of cellular polarity that is expressed at high levels in a range of tumor tissue types. Here, we conducted an analysis of the previously unexplored role of LRRC1 as a component of the adipogenic differentiation network. During the early stage (days 3–7) adipocytic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), LRRC1 was found to be upregulated at both the mRNA and protein levels. Moreover, the expression of LRRC1 was found to be controlled by PPARγ, which is a key transcriptional regulator of adipogenesis. Inhibiting LRRC1 expression reduced the adipogenic potential of hMSCs, with a concomitant reduction in the expression of three adipogenesis-associated proteins (SCD, LIPE, FASN). Together, these data offer new insight into the functional importance of LRRC1 both in general and in the context of adipocytic differentiation.

miR-155 Regulates Photoperiod Induced Gonadal Development in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) by Targeting Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor - Teng Guo; Yanfeng Wang; Ping Jiang; Jun Li; Qinghua Liu; Liang Chi (Fishes, 2023)
This study was designed to explore the impact of the photoperiod on the gonadal development and somatic growth of Atlantic salmon raised in recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs), with specific focus on the role that microRNA (miR)-155 plays as a regulator in the Atlantic salmon’s photoperiodic reproduction. These salmon were reared for 5 months under six different photoperiod regimens, including two with changing photoperiods (LL–SL = 24L:0D–8L:16D and SL–LL = 8L:16D–24L:0D) and four with constant photoperiods (24L:0D, 18L:6D, 12L:12D, and 8L:16D). The longer photoperiod groups (LL–SL and 24L:0D) were ultimately associated with higher gonadosomatic index (GSI) values and an increased proportion of mature fish relative to other exposure groups, indicating that the photoperiod positively impacted the Atlantic salmon’s gonadal development in RAS environments. Hypothalamic miR-155 expression in these Atlantic salmon was also found to be influenced by the photoperiod, showing a markedly decreased expression in salmon exposed to a long photoperiod and upregulation following rearing under a short photoperiod. Functionally, miR-155 was found to suppress the expression of gonadal axis-related genes, including FSH and GnRH, through its ability to target the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and to thereby regulate photoperiod reproduction. Overall, these results suggested that the photoperiod could regulate gonad development in Atlantic salmon with miRNA-155 being involved in this process by targeting the BDNF.

Emerging roles of the P2X7 receptor in cancer pain - Ping Wu; Yin Wang; Yansong Liu; Yan Liu; Guohua Zhou; Xiaoqi Wu; Qingping Wen (Purinergic Signalling, 2023)
Cancer pain is the most prevalent symptom experienced by cancer patients. It substantially impacts a patient’s long-term physical and emotional health, making it a pressing issue that must be addressed. Purinergic receptor P2X7 (P2X7R) is a widely distributed and potent non-selective ATP-gated ion channel that regulates tumor proliferation, chronic pain, and the formation of inflammatory lesions in the central nervous system. P2X7R plays an essential role in cancer pain and complications related to cancer pain including depression and opioid tolerance. This review focuses on the structure and distribution of P2X7R, its role in diverse tissues in cancer pain, and the application of P2X7R antagonists in the treatment of cancer pain to propose new ideas for cancer pain management.

Optimization of the Concentrated Inspection Campaign Model to Strengthen Port State Control - Chiu-Yu Lai; Chung-Ping Liu; Kuo-Ming Huang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The concentrated inspection campaign (CIC) is a derivative of the port state control (PSC) supplement, which is a fixed single series of deficiency inspections performed for three consecutive months at the end of each year. This study used grey relational analysis (GRA) and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to analyze the data of 71,376 deficiency records with 496 deficiency codes and 21 ship types in the Paris MoU for the last three years so as to improve the existing focus inspection pattern, which uses only the most accumulated number of deficiency series of the previous year’s PSC inspection. It also combines the three-sigma rule to find the inspection items most likely to be found as deficient by the port state control officer (PFSO) of the member country and creates a new rolling CIC scheme with deficiency inspection data for the last three years, which can filter out the significant deficiency codes with high numbers of deficiency inspections and use them as a modified CIC. It can not only solve the existing CIC’s lack of thoroughness, but also avoid the problems of missing important inspection codes, missing substandard ships, and failing to meet the inspection consensus. The new CIC inspection mechanism created in this paper can indeed identify potential substandard ships more effectively and fill the inspection gap of the existing port state control.

Juvenile hormone regulates the photoperiodic plasticity of elytra coloration in the ladybird Harmonia axyridis - Jia‐Xu Li; Zhong Tian; Xing‐Feng Liu; Bei Li; Hao‐Min An; Colin S. Brent; Jia‐Lu Wang; Xiao‐Ping Wang; Wen Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2023)
Many animals, including insects, exhibit plasticity of body colour in response to environmental changes. Varied expression of carotenoids, major cuticle pigments, significantly contributes to body colour flexibility. However, the molecular mechanisms by which environmental cues regulate carotenoid expression remain largely unknown. In this study, we used the ladybird Harmonia axyridis as a model to investigate the photoperiodic‐responsive plasticity of elytra coloration and its endocrine regulation. It was found that H. axyridis females under long‐day conditions develop elytra that are much redder than those under short‐day conditions, resulting from the differential accumulation of carotenoids. Exogenous hormone application and RNAi‐mediated gene knockdown indicate that carotenoid deposition was directed through the juvenile hormone (JH) receptor‐mediated canonical pathway. Moreover, we characterized an SR‐BI/CD36 ( SCRB ) gene SCRB10 as the carotenoid transporter responding to JH signalling and regulating the elytra coloration plasticity. Taken together, we propose that JH signalling transcriptionally regulates the carotenoid transporter gene for the photoperiodic coloration plasticity of elytra in the beetles, which reveals a novel role of the endocrine system in the regulation of carotenoid‐associated animal body coloration under environmental stimuli.

Incidence and Risk Factors for Dysphagia Following Cerebellar Stroke: a Retrospective Cohort Study - Li Huang; Yunlu Wang; Jikang Sun; Lequn Zhu; Jimin Liu; Yuwei Wu; Chunlei Shan; Juntao Yan; Ping Wan (The Cerebellum, 2023)
The cerebellum is known to play a supportive role in swallowing-related functions; however, wide discrepancies about the incidence rate of swallowing disorders following cerebellar strokes exist within the literature. This study aimed to investigate the incidence rate of dysphagia and the factors which may affect the presence of dysphagia and clinical recovery in individuals diagnosed with cerebellar stroke. A retrospective chart audit of 1651 post-stroke patients (1049 males and 602 females) admitted with a cerebellar stroke to a comprehensive tertiary hospital in China was conducted. Data on demographics, medical, along with swallowing function assessment were collected. Differences between dysphagic and non-dysphagic groups were evaluated using t -tests and Pearson’s chi-square test. Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed to establish factors associated with the presence of dysphagia. A total of 11.45% of participants were identified with dysphagia during inpatient admission. Individuals with mixed types of stroke, multiple lesions in the cerebellum, and ages older than 85 years old were more likely to develop dysphagia. Moreover, the prognosis of dysphagia following a cerebellar stroke was associated with lesions in different parts of the cerebellum. The cumulative recovery rates from the best to worse were the right hemisphere group, the cerebellum vermis or peduncle group, and both the hemisphere group and the left hemisphere group, respectively.

LC-MS Based Metabolomic Profiling of Largehead Hairtail (Trichiurus japonicus) Ovary Reveals Metabolic Signatures of Ovarian Developmental Process (II–IV) - Liu-Ying Feng; Li-Ping Yan; Run-Wei Li; Sheng-Fa Li; Jia-Hua Cheng; Yan Jin (Fishes, 2023)
Trichiurus japonicus is an economically important fish that ranks 11th in global marine fish capture production. However, the reproductive characteristics of this fish have undergone notable changes in recent decades, potentially affecting the quality of offspring and sustainable utilization. To improve our understanding of the physiological regulation of maturation in T. japonicus, untargeted liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was utilized to identify the small molecules that characterize the comprehensive metabolic profiles of ovaries during ovary development from stage II to stage IV. According to the results of OPLS-DA, the ovarian metabolite profiles of the three developmental stages were separated. The concentrations of 124 and 100 metabolites were significantly altered between stage II vs. III and III vs. IV, respectively. Lipids and lipid-like molecules accounted for the largest proportion of the altered metabolites, followed by amino acids, peptides, and analogues. The significantly altered metabolites-enriched pathways differed slightly between stages II and III and stages III and IV. Steroid-related pathways were heavily affected during stages II to III, while significantly altered metabolites from stages III to IV were involved in oocyte-maturation-related pathways. Through metabonomics analysis, potentially important metabolic pathways and metabolites between different ovarian stages were detected, providing basic information for further investigation of maturation mechanisms in wild fish.

Melatonin inhibits senescence-associated melanin pigmentation through the p53-TYR pathway in human primary melanocytes and the skin of C57BL/6 J mice after UVB irradiation - Li-Ping Ma; Meng-Meng Liu; Fang Liu; Bo Sun; Si-Nian Wang; Jie Chen; Hui-Jie Yu; Juan Yan; Mei Tian; Ling Gao; Qing-Jie Liu (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2023)
UVB exposure accelerates skin aging and pigmentation. Melatonin effectively regulates tyrosinase (TYR) activity and aging. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between premature senescence and pigmentation, and the mechanism of melanin synthesis effected by melatonin. Primary melanocytes were extracted and identified from the male foreskin. To inhibit TYR expression, primary melanocytes were transduced with the lentivirus pLKD-CMV-EGFP-2A-Puro-U6-TYR. The wild-type TYR ( + / + ) and TYR (–/–) or TYR ( + /–) knockout C57BL/6 J mice were used to determine the role of TYR on melanin synthesis in vivo. Results showed that UVB-induced melanin synthesis is dependent on TYR in primary melanocytes and mice. Furthermore, in primary melanocytes pretreated with Nutlin-3 or PFT-α to up or downregulate p53, results showed that premature senescence and melanin synthesis increased in primary melanocytes after UVB irradiation at 80 mJ/cm 2 , and further increased after being treated with Nutlin-3, while significantly decreased with PFT-α. In addition, melatonin inhibited UVB-induced premature senescence associated with inactivation of p53 and phosphorylation of p53 on Ser15 (ser-15), a decrease of melanin synthesis accompanied by reduced TYR expression. Moreover, skin erythema and pigmentation induced by UVB were reduced in the dorsal and ear skin of mice topically pretreated with 2.5% melatonin. These indicate that melatonin inhibits UVB-induced senescence-associated pigmentation via the p53-TYR pathway in primary melanocytes and prevents pigmentation obviously in the dorsal and ear skin of C57BL/6 J mice after UVB irradiation. Key messages P53 links UVB irradiation-induced senescence and senescence-associated pigmentation and regulates TYR in primary melanocytes after UVB irradiation. Melatonin inhibits senescence-associated pigmentation through the p53-TYR pathway in primary melanocytes. Melatonin prevents skin erythema and melanin pigmentation induced by UVB irradiation in the dorsal and ear skin of C57BL/6J mice.

Elevated Interleukin-37 Associated with Dengue Viral Load in Patients with Dengue Fever - Jun-Ai Zhang; Jia-Jun Wang; Wen-Ting Zhang; Li Zhang; Bi-Ying Zheng; Gan-Bin Liu; Jing Liang; Yuan-Bin Lu; Xian-Jin Wu; Shu-Ying Yao; Guo-Ying Chen; Yun-Qi Xie; et al. (Current Microbiology, 2023)
Dengue remains a public health issue worldwide. Similar to chronic infectious diseases, stimulation of cytokine production is not enough to drive immune effector cells for effective virus clearance. One possible mechanism is the virus induces a large number of negative stimulatory cytokines inhibiting immune response. Interleukin 37 (IL-37) plays a crucial regulatory role in infection and immunity, inhibits innate and adaptive immunity as an anti-inflammatory cytokine by inhibiting proinflammatory mediators and pathways. To date, there are few studies reporting correlations between dengue fever (DF) and IL-37. In this study we found that the serum IL-37b and IL-37b-producing monocytes in patients were significantly increased in DF patients. A majority of the IL-37b produced by DF patients was produced by monocytes, not lymphocytes. Increased levels of IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-α were also found in DF patients. However, we failed to detect IL-1β, IL-17A and TNF-α in plasma, because of off-target. In our study, there was no relation between IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-α expressions and IL-37b in serum ( P > 0.05). The IL-37b-producing monocytes were negatively correlated with the level of IFN-α in serum and platelet count, and positively correlated with lymphocytes percentage ( P < 0.05, respectively). Additionally, serum DENV nonstructural protein 1 levels were positively correlated with monocytes percentages ( P < 0.05). Our data represents findings for IL-37b expression and its potential mechanisms in DF patients’ immune response.

High carbon emissions from thermokarst lakes and their determinants in the Tibet Plateau - Cuicui Mu; Mei Mu; Xiaodong Wu; Lin Jia; Chenyan Fan; Xiaoqing Peng; Chien‐Lu Ping; Qingbai Wu; Cunde Xiao; Jianbao Liu (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Thermokarst lakes are potentially important sources of methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). However, considerable uncertainty exists regarding carbon emissions from thermokarst lakes owing to a limited understanding of their patterns and motivators. In this study, we measured CH 4 and CO 2 diffusive fluxes in 163 thermokarst lakes in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) over 3 years from May to October. The median carbon emissions from the QTP thermokarst lakes were 1440 mg CO 2 m −2 day −1 and 60 mg CH 4 m −2 day −1 , respectively. The diffusive rates of CO 2 and CH 4 are related to the catchment land cover type. Sediment microbial abundance and hydrochemistry explain 51.9% and 38.3% of the total variance in CH 4 diffusive emissions, respectively, while CO 2 emissions show no significant relationship with environmental factors. When upscaling carbon emissions from the QTP thermokarst lakes, the annual average CH 4 release per lake area is equal to that of the pan‐Arctic region. Our findings highlight the importance of incorporating in situ observation data with different emission pathways for different land cover types in predicting carbon emissions from thermokarst lakes in the future.

Maternal environmental, occupational, and urinary metabolite levels of benzene compounds and their association with congenital heart diseases in offspring: a case‒control study in China - Meixian Wang; Lu Li; Hong Kang; Hongmei Xu; Qian Huang; Nana Li; Ying Deng; Ping Yu; Zhen Liu (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023)
The conclusions about the association of maternal pregnancy environment, occupation, and benzene compounds with fetal CHD are not entirely consistent. Eight hundred seven CHD cases and 1008 controls were included in this study. All occupations were classified and coded against the Occupational Classification Dictionary of the People’s Republic of China (2015 version). Logistic regressions were used to explore the correlation among environmental factors, occupation types, and CHDs in offspring. We found that living near public facilities and having exposure to chemical reagents and hazardous substances were significant risk factors for CHDs in offspring. We found that offspring of mothers who worked in agriculture and similar work during pregnancy suffered from CHD. The risk of all CHDs in the offspring of pregnant women working in production manufacturing and related work was significantly higher than that in unemployed pregnant women, the risk was also observed in 4 subtypes of CHDs. We compared the concentrations of the five metabolite (MA, mHA, HA, PGA, and SPMA) levels of benzene compounds in the urine of mothers in case and control groups and found no significant differences. Our study suggests that maternal exposure during pregnancy and certain environmental and occupational conditions are risk factors for CHD in offspring, but did not support an association between concentrations of metabolites of benzene compounds in the urine of pregnant women and CHDs in their offspring.

Adaptive Graph-Learning Convolutional Network for Multi-Node Offshore Wind Speed Forecasting - Jingjing Liu; Xinli Yang; Denghui Zhang; Ping Xu; Zhuolin Li; Fengjun Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Multi-node wind speed forecasting is greatly important for offshore wind power. It is a challenging task due to unknown complex spatial dependencies. Recently, graph neural networks (GNN) have been applied to wind forecasting because of their capability in modeling dependencies. However, existing methods usually require a pre-defined graph structure, which is not optimal for the downstream task and limits the application scope of GNN. In this paper, we propose adaptive graph-learning convolutional networks (AGLCN) that can automatically infer hidden associations among multi-nodes through a graph-learning module. It simultaneously integrates the temporal and graph convolutional modules to capture temporal and spatial features in the data. Experiments are conducted on real-world multi-node wind speed data from the China Sea. The results show that our model achieves state-of-the-art results in all multi-scale wind speed predictions. Moreover, the learned graph can reveal spatial correlations from a data-driven perspective.

Survival, Energy Status, and Cellular Stress Responses of the Juvenile Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus under Acute Nitrite Stress - Xiaochen Liu; Daixia Wang; Yan Shang; Xuee Yu; Baoquan Gao; Jianjian Lv; Jitao Li; Ping Liu; Jian Li; Xianliang Meng (Fishes, 2023)
Nitrite is a common pollutant encountered in aquaculture systems. During intensive hatchery, accumulation of nitrite can cause massive mortality of juvenile crustaceans. However, the nitrite toxicity and cellular stress responses in juvenile crustaceans is not clearly understood. Here, we investigate the survival, energy metabolism, and cellular stress responses in juvenile P. trituberculatus, an important aquaculture species in China, under acute nitrite stress. The results revealed nitrite resulted in a significant decrease in survival rate of juvenile swimming crab. After nitrite exposure, the activity of catabolic enzymes, such as HK, PK, CS, and CPT-1, were initially enhanced, and then they showed significant decrease at the late stage of exposure, accompanied by reduction in ATP and adenylate energy charge (AEC). The impaired energy homeostasis was possibly associated with disturbed AMPK signaling and enhanced anaerobic metabolism, which was indicated by the high levels of LDH activity and HIF-1α expression. Furthermore, we found that nitrite stress can depress antioxidant systems and unfold protein responses, causing oxidative damage and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and this, in turn, can trigger autophagy and apoptosis through both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways. The results of the present study improve our understanding regarding adverse effects of nitrite on P. trituberculatus and provide valuable information for hatchery management.

Quantitative Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Forest Ecosystems - Dan Liu; Hao Yan; Cheng Long Yu; Shi Ping Yin; Cheng Wei Wang; Li Juan Gong (Forest Science, 2023)
Characterizing and predicting the response of terrestrial ecosystems to global change is part of the fundamental challenges of contemporary ecology and ecological conservation. The assessment of climate change impact on forest ecosystems has rarely used a multi-index fusion method for quantitative evaluation. We used forest distribution, net primary productivity, and vegetation coverage to establish an assessment model of the impact of climate change on forest ecosystems. We analyzed the change characteristics of these indicators in the Heilongjiang Province of China. Our results indicate the following: (1) from 2001 to 2019, the forest area in Heilongjiang Province ranged from 234,000 to 246,000 km2. The forest net primary productivity (NPP) ranged from 4.40 to 5.55 MgC·ha-1·yr-1, and the vegetation coverage ranged from 42.42% to 67.64%. The forest NPP and the vegetation coverage showed a significant upward trend. (2) The values of forest ecological roles were significantly positively correlated with the climatic potential. (3) The contribution rate of climate change to forest ecosystem change was negatively correlated with forest coverage, which varied from 4.79% to 18.07% in different regions (cities) of the province. Study Implications: Assessing the influence of climate on forest ecosystems comprehensively and accurately before the government prepares ecological measures is necessary. However, the responses of vegetation coverage and net primary productivity to climate change may not be consistent, so climate studies that consider forest ecosystem change trends by a single indicator may have confounding results. We established a model for evaluating the impact of climate change on forest ecosystems to solve this problem. This knowledge may provide a reference for the response, adaptation, and vulnerability assessment of forest ecosystems to climate change.
