Homeostasis Regulation by Potassium Channel Subfamily K Member 3 (KCNK3) in Various Fishes - Zheng-Yong Wen; Chuan-Jie Qin; Yun-Yun Lv; Yan-Ping Li; Yuan-Chao Zou; Sheng-Tao Guo; Qiong Shi (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Potassium channels are important for K + transport and cell volume regulation, which play important roles in many biological processes such as hormone secretion, ion homeostasis, excitability, and cell development. In mammals, a total of 15 potassium channels were identified and they were divided into six subfamilies, including TALK (TALK1, TALK2, TASK2), TASK (TASK1, TASK3, TASK5), TREK (TREK1, TREK2, TRAAK), TWIK (TWIK1, TWIK2, KCNK7), THIK (THIK1, THIK2) and TRESK. TASK1, also known as potassium channel subfamily k member 3 (KCNK3), is the first member identified in the TASK subfamily. This K 2 P channel has potential applications in fish breeding and aquaculture industry due to its important roles in various physiological processes. Despite its functional role has been well studied in mammals; however, it is less known in fishes. In this review, we systematically summarize recent research advances of this critical potassium channel in representative fishes, such as gene number variation, tissue distribution, phylogeny, and potential homeostasis regulation role. This paper provides novel insights into the functional properties of these fish kcnk3 genes (including osmoregulation, energy homeostasis maintenance and fatty acids metabolism regulation), and also expands our knowledge about their variations among diverse fishes.

Liquid–Solid Flow Characteristics in Vertical Swirling Hydraulic Transportation with Tangential Jet Inlet - Jiyang Qi; Jie Yin; Fei Yan; Ping Liu; Tieli Wang; Chen Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
In order to improve the efficiency and safety of vertical hydraulic transport systems for non-spherical particles, a new pipeline transport system with a tangential jet inlet is adopted in this study, and a modified non-spherical drag coefficient model is used to analyze the liquid–solid flow characteristics based on the CFD-DEM (Computational Fluid Dynamics-Discrete Element Method) coupling method. The focus of the study is on the influence of different tangential flow proportions in terms of the velocity distribution, the vorticity, the total pressure, the concentration and drag force of particles of various shapes. The conveying efficiency is measured according to the fluid velocity distribution and the particle concentration, and the safety of conveying is evaluated according to the flow structure and drag force of the particles. The result shows that the velocity of the swirling pipes is significantly higher than the straight pipe. With the increase of the tangential flow proportion, the swirling number and the vorticity magnitude increase, and the vortex core is broken and merged more quickly. Furthermore, the concentration gap and axial drag force gap between particles of various shapes are reduced with the effect of swirling flow, the particle concentration increases, and the particles of each component are uniformly mixed and transported.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) caused by Candida spp. affects 70–75% of women at least once during their lives. We aim to elucidate the potential mechanism of VVC and investigate the therapeutic effects of long noncoding RNA 9708-1. Female BALB/c mice were randomized to four treatment groups, including the blank control group, VVC control group, vehicle control group and lncRNA 9708-1-overexpressed group. Mice were euthanized on Day 4, Day 7 and Day 14 after treatment. Colony-forming unit (CFU) was measured, and the inflammation was detected by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Gene and protein expression levels of lncRNA 9708-1 and FAK were determined by real-time PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. The overexpression of lncRNA 9708-1 significantly decreased the fungal load from Day 4 to 7. H&E staining indicated that the impaired histological profiles were improved in lncRNA 9708-1-overexpressed group. LncRNA 9708-1 led to a significant increase in FAK level of vagina tissue which is expressed mainly in epithelial basal layer. This study suggests that lncRNA 9708-1 played a protective role on murine experimental VVC by upregulating the expression levels of FAK.

(Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Recently, minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic evacuation and minimally invasive catheter (MIC) evacuation, have been used for the treatment of patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH). However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effects of these techniques. To explore the long-term outcomes of both surgical techniques in the treatment of SCH. Fifty-two patients with SCH who received endoscopic evacuation or MIC evacuation were retrospectively reviewed. Six-month mortality and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the effects of the different surgical techniques on patient outcomes. In the present study, the mortality rate for the entire cohort was 34.6%. Univariate analysis showed that the surgical technique and preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score affected 6-month mortality. However, no variables were found to be correlated with 6-month mRS scores. Further multivariate analysis demonstrated that 6-month mortality in the endoscopic evacuation group was significantly lower than that in the MIC evacuation group (OR = 4.346, 95% CI 1.056 to 17.886). The 6-month mortality rate in the preoperative GCS 9–14 group was significantly lower than that in the GCS 3–8 group (OR = 7.328, 95% CI 1.723 to 31.170). Compared with MIC evacuation, endoscopic evacuation significantly decreased 6-month mortality in SCH patients. These preliminary results warrant further large, prospective, randomized studies.

Paeoniflorin ameliorates ulcerative colitis by modulating the dendritic cell-mediated TH17/Treg balance - Kai Zheng; Jia Jia; Shihai Yan; Hong Shen; Ping Zhu; Jiangyi Yu (Inflammopharmacology, 2020)
Immunological tolerance is critical for maintaining gut homeostasis. An imbalance between interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing T helper 17 (T H 17) cells and regulatory T cells (T reg cells) is involved in ulcerative colitis (UC) pathogenesis. Dendritic cells (DCs) are able to induce T cell differentiation. Paeoniflorin (PF) is a monoterpene glucoside that is commonly used for treatment of autoimmune disease. However, the immunological mechanism of PF involvement in UC treatment is unclear. The present study aimed to explore whether PF can restore the T H 17/T reg balance by modulating DCs. The effects of PF on DCs, T H 17 cells and T reg cells were measured. Furthermore, PF-treated DCs were injected into mice with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. PF inhibited MHC-II and CD86 expression on the DC surface ( P < 0.05), decreased interleukin (IL)-12 secretion in vitro and in vivo ( P < 0.05), and restored the T H 17/T reg ratio in the mouse model of colitis ( P < 0.05). PF-treated DCs diminished T H 17 differentiation (4.26% in vitro and 1.64% in vivo) and decreased IL-17 expression ( P < 0.05) while inducing CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + T reg differentiation (7.82% in vitro and 6.85% in vivo) and increasing Foxp3 and IL-10 production ( P < 0.05). Additionally, both PF and PF-treated DCs improved colonic histopathology in the mouse model of colitis ( P < 0.05). In conclusion this study suggested that PF can ameliorate TNBS-induced colitis by modulating the DC-mediated T H 17/T reg balance.

The response of soil respiration to precipitation change is asymmetric and differs between grasslands and forests - Yue Du; Ying‐Ping Wang; Fanglong Su; Jun Jiang; Chen Wang; Mengxiao Yu; Junhua Yan (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Intensification of the Earth's hydrological cycle amplifies the interannual variability of precipitation, which will significantly impact the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. However, it is still unknown whether previously observed relationship between soil respiration ( R s ) and precipitation remains applicable under extreme precipitation change. By analyzing the observations from a much larger dataset of field experiments (248 published papers including 151 grassland studies and 97 forest studies) across a wider range of precipitation manipulation than previous studies, we found that the relationship of R s response with precipitation change was highly nonlinear or asymmetric, and differed significantly between grasslands and forests, between moderate and extreme precipitation changes. Response of R s to precipitation change was negatively asymmetric (concave‐down) in grasslands, and double‐asymmetric in forests with a positive asymmetry (concave‐up) under moderate precipitation changes and a negative asymmetry (concave‐down) under extreme precipitation changes. In grasslands, the negative asymmetry in R s response was attributed to the higher sensitivities of soil moisture, microbial and root activities to decreased precipitation (DPPT) than to increased precipitation (IPPT). In forests, the positive asymmetry was predominantly driven by the significant increase in microbial respiration under moderate IPPT, while the negative asymmetry was caused by the reductions in root biomass and respiration under extreme DPPT. The different asymmetric responses of R s between grasslands and forests will greatly improve our ability to forecast the C cycle consequences of increased precipitation variability. Specifically, the negative asymmetry of R s response under extreme precipitation change suggests that the soil C efflux will decrease across grasslands and forests under future precipitation regime with more wet and dry extremes.

Characterization of brain microstructural abnormalities in cirrhotic patients without overt hepatic encephalopathy using diffusion kurtosis imaging - Qing Sun; Wenliang Fan; Yuan Liu; Yan Zou; Natalie Wiseman; Zhifeng Kou; Ping Han (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2020)
Cirrhosis is a major public health concern. However, little is known about the neurobiological mechanisms underlying brain microstructure alterations in cirrhotic patients. The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate brain microstructural alterations in cirrhosis with or without minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) and their relationship with patients’ neurocognitive performance and disease duration using voxel-based analysis of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). DKI data were acquired from 30 cirrhotic patients with MHE, 31 patients without MHE (NMHE) and 59 healthy controls. All DKI-derived parametric maps were compared across the three groups to investigate their group differences. Correlation analyses were further performed to assess relationships between altered imaging parameters and clinical data. Voxel-based analysis of DKI data results showed that MHE/NMHE patients had increased radial diffusivity, axial diffusivity (AD) and mean diffusivity in addition to decreased axial kurtosis (AK) and fractional anisotropy of kurtosis in several regions. Compared to controls, these regions were primarily the cingulum, temporal and frontal cortices. The DKI metrics (i.e., AK and AD) were correlated with clinical variables in the two patient groups. In conclusion, DKI is useful for detecting brain microstructural abnormalities in MHE and NMHE patients. Abnormal DKI parameters suggest alterations in brain microstructural complexity in cirrhotic patients, which may contribute to the neurobiological basis of neurocognitive impairment. These results may provide additional information on the pathophysiology of cirrhosis.

EFFECT OF A ROOT‐ZONE INJECTION IRRIGATION METHOD ON WATER PRODUCTIVITY AND APPLE PRODUCTION IN A SEMI‐ARID REGION IN NORTH‐WESTERN CHINA - Yan‐Ping Wang; Lin‐Sen Zhang; Yan Mu; Wei‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Xing Guo; Tian‐Ran Chang (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
Within the Chinese Loess Plateau, water resources are scarce and irrigation efficiency is a challenging issue. Traditional surface drip irrigation (SDI) methods have failed to improve irrigation efficiency and reduce surface evaporation in the region. An easy‐to‐install and practicable root‐zone injection irrigation (RII) method, with a low risk of emitter clogging and which uses subsurface infiltration‐promoting apparatuses (SIPA) to deliver water directly to the root zone, was designed and tested in an apple orchard over 3 years in northern Shaanxi, China. In the 0–0.6 m soil layer (where the apple roots are concentrated), the RII method produced consistently higher soil water content than the SDI method over all three growing seasons. The soil water content was consistently higher than 60% of field capacity, thus meeting the water requirements of fruit‐bearing apple trees. In addition, the RII method alleviated soil desiccation, significantly increased apple yields and improved fruit quality compared with the SDI method using the same volume of irrigation water. Both irrigation efficiency and water‐use efficiency were improved with the RII method. These results provide a theoretical basis for the utilization of the RII irrigation method in apple orchards in semi‐arid regions, which may improve water conservation and the sustainability of apple production. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The false smut pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens requires rice stamens for false smut ball formation - Jing Fan; Jie Liu; Zhi‐You Gong; Pei‐Zhou Xu; Xiao‐Hong Hu; Jin‐Long Wu; Guo‐Bang Li; Juan Yang; Yu‐Qiu Wang; Yu‐Feng Zhou; Shuang‐Cheng Li; Li Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Rice false smut has emerged as a serious grain disease in rice production worldwide. The disease is characterized by the transformation of individual rice florets into false smut balls, which is caused by the fungal pathogen Ustilaginoidea virens . To date, little is known about the host factors required for false smut ball formation by U . virens . In this study, we identified histological determinants for the formation of false smut balls by inoculating U . virens into rice floral mutants defective with respect to individual floral parts. The results showed that U . virens could form mature false smut balls in rice floral mutants with defective pistils, but failed to develop false smut balls in the superwoman mutant lacking stamens, identifying that U . virens requires rice stamens to complete its infection cycle. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated a list of candidate host genes that may facilitate nutrient acquisition by U . virens from the rice stamens, such as SWEET11 , SWEET14 and SUT5 , and genes involved in the biosynthesis of trehalose and raffinose family sugars. These data pinpoint rice stamens as the key target organ of U . virens infection and provide a valuable starting point for dissecting the molecular mechanism of false smut ball formation.

(International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Differences, arising from differences in gross primary production (GPP) model structures and driving forces, have fuelled arguments concerning interannual changes of GPP in China since 2000. To better investigate the interannual variability of GPP and its covariance with climate factors in China, this study adopted a multi‐model analysis based on three GPP models (i.e., Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon flux model [TEC], Breathing Earth System Simulator model [BESS], and MOD17 GPP model). The results show that annual GPP in China increased by 0.021–0.057 Pg C year −1 from 2000 to 2015 attributable to atmospheric‐CO 2 fertilization effects and favourable climate change, that is, increasing precipitation ( P r ) and temperature ( T a ). However, northern China and southern China had a large difference in the amplitude of these GPP changes; annual GPP increased by 0.017–0.039 Pg C year −1 in northern China but only 0.001–0.018 Pg C year −1 in southern China. Northern China and southern China occupy contrasting climate zones and this contrast produced different interannual variability of GPP through different mechanisms. Northern China has a dry climate with GPP changes sensitive to P r . As a result, more P r along with higher T a in northern China produced the strong uptrend of GPP from 2000 to 2015. In contrast, southern China has a wet climate with its GPP sensitive to solar radiation and T a . For the interval of 2000–2015, decreasing radiation plus drought exerted a negative influence on GPP in southern China. This study highlights the diverse mechanisms in which climate change affects GPP in dry and wet climate zones. A robust multi‐model analysis is preferred to reduce uncertainties arising from a single GPP model and its driving data.

HprK Xcc is a serine kinase that regulates virulence in the Gram‐negative phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris - Rui‐Fang Li; Ping Cui; Ping‐Zhen Wei; Xing‐Yan Liu; Ji‐Liang Tang; Guang‐Tao Lu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The HprK serine kinase is a component of the phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (PTS) of bacteria that generally regulates catabolite repression through phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of the PTS protein PtsH at a conserved serine residue. However, many bacteria do not encode a complete PTS or even have an HprK homologue. Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris ( Xcc ) is a pathogen that cause black rot disease in crucifer plants and one of the few Gram‐negative bacteria that encodes a homologue of HprK protein (herein HprK Xcc ). To gain insight into the role of HprK Xcc and other PTS‐related components in Xcc we individually mutated and phenotypically assessed the resulting strains. Deletion of hprK Xcc demonstrated its requirement for virulence and other diverse cellular processes associated including extracellular enzyme activity, extracellular‐polysaccharide production and cell motility. Global transcriptome analyses revealed the HprK Xcc had a broad regulatory role in Xcc . Additionally, through overexpression, double gene deletion and transcriptome analysis we demonstrated that hprK Xcc shares an epistatic relationship with ptsH . Furthermore, we demonstrate that HprK Xcc is a functional serine kinase, which has the ability to phosphorylate PtsH. Taken together, the data illustrates the previously unappreciated global regulatory role of HprK Xcc and previously uncharacterized PTS components that control virulence in this pathogen.

Gene structure, recombinant expression and function characterization of Siniperca chuatsi Fsrp‐3 - Jianhua Wang; Jia Cheng; Yulong Li; Huiling Yan; Ping Wu; Xin Zhu; Li Liu; Lin Chen; Wuying Chu; Jianshe Zhang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2019)
A full‐length complementary (c)DNA sequence encoding follistatin‐related protein 3 ( fsrp‐3 ) was determined from skeletal muscle in Chinese mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi , its molecular structure was characterised and its function suggested. The putative structure of S. chuatsi Fsrp‐3 contains an N‐terminal domain and two follistatin domains. Quantitative reverse‐transcription (qRT)‐PCR assays revealed that fsrp‐3 messenger (m)RNA was differentially expressed among assayed tissues and was highly expressed in heart and intestine. fsrp‐3 mRNA exhibited increasing expression from the larval to the juvenile stage (500 g). To investigate the potential function of S. chuatsi fsrp‐3 in muscle growth, we constructed a Fsrp‐3 prokaryotic expression system and injected the purified Fsrp‐3 fusion protein into the dorsal muscle. Fsrp‐3 administration significantly influenced cross‐section area, satellite cell activation frequency and nuclear density of S. chuatsi muscle fibres. Following Fsrp‐3 treatment, the expression of myogenic regulatory factors was up‐regulated and decline in the expression of myostatin was observed. The study revealed that Fsrp‐3 may affect muscle growth by regulating myogenic regulatory factor expression and antagonizing myostatin function to initiate satellite cell activation and differentiation in S. chuatsi .
