Characterization of Joint Roughness Heterogeneity and Its Application in Representative Sample Investigations - Shi-Gui Du; Hang Lin; Rui Yong; Guang-Jian Liu (Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2022)
Rock joint surface roughness is usually characterized by heterogeneity, but the determination of a required number of samples for achieving a reasonable heterogeneity assessment remains a challenge. In this paper, a novel method, the global search method, was proposed to investigate the heterogeneity of rock joint roughness. In this method, the roughness heterogeneity was characterized based on a statistical analysis of the roughness of all samples extracted from different locations of a given rock joint. Analyses of the effective sample number were conducted, which showed that sampling bias was caused by an inadequate number of samples. To overcome this drawback, a large natural slate joint sample (1000 mm × 1000 mm in size) was digitized in a laboratory using a high-accuracy laser scanner. The roughness heterogeneities of both two-dimensional (2D) profiles and three-dimensional (3D) surface topographies were systematically investigated. The results show that the expected value obtained from conventional methods failed to accurately represent the overall roughness. The relative errors between the population parameter and the expected value varied not only from sample to sample but also with the scale. The roughness heterogeneity characteristics of joint samples of various sizes can be obtained using the global search method. This new method could facilitate the determination of the most representative samples and their positions.

Genetic manipulation of Haematococcus pluvialis is difficult because of the lack of a stable and convenient transformation system. The pH124-EGFP-Ble vector containing ble as a selective gene and EGFP as a reporter gene was constructed and employed for effective transformation. H. pluvialis protoplasts were obtained by treating with cellulase and macerozeme. Then polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation was established by incubating the protoplast with the vector. To improve the transformation efficiency of H. pluvialis protoplasts, the transformation system was optimized in consideration of different influencing factors, including zeomycin concentration, growth stage, amount of transformed vector, linearization of the vector, and duration of low-intensity illumination. The integration and expression of ble and EGFP was confirmed in the transformants. Moreover, the optimal combination for protoplast transformation of H. pluvialis was determined to be 5 µg of the linearized vector used to transform cells in the log growth phase, and then the transformed protoplasts allowed to recover under low-intensity illumination for 6 h. This study represents and describes the successful development of an H. pluvialis transformation protocol using protoplasts, which will enable convenient genetic manipulation of this important algal species.

A novel microRNA regulates cooperation between symbiont and a laterally acquired gene in the regulation of pantothenate biosynthesis within Bemisia tabaci whiteflies - Xiang Sun; Bing‐Qi Liu; Chu‐Qiao Li; Zhan‐Bo Chen; Xiao‐Rui Xu; Jun‐Bo Luan (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
Horizontally transferred genes (HTGs) play a key role in animal symbiosis, and some horizontally transferred genes or proteins are highly expressed in specialized host cells (bacteriocytes). However, it is not clear how HTGs are regulated, but microRNAs (miRNAs) are prime candidates given their previously demonstrated roles in symbiosis and impacts on the expression of host genes. A horizontally acquired PanBC that is highly expressed in whitefly bacteriocytes can cooperate with an obligate symbiont Portiera for pantothenate production, facilitating whitefly performance and Portiera titre. Here, we found that a whitefly miRNA, novel‐m0780‐5p, was up‐regulated and its target panBC was down‐regulated in Portiera ‐eliminated whiteflies. This miRNA was located in the cytoplasmic region of whitefly bacteriocytes. Injection of novel‐m0780‐5p agomir reduced the expression of PanBC in whitefly bacteriocytes, while injection of novel‐m0780‐5p antagomir enhanced PanBC expression. Agomir injection also reduced the pantothenate level, Portiera titre and whitefly performance. Supplementation with pantothenate restored Portiera titre and the fitness of agomir‐injected whiteflies. Thus, we demonstrate that a whitefly miRNA regulates panBC ‐mediated host–symbiont collaboration required for pantothenate synthesis, benefiting the whitefly– Portiera symbiosis. Both panBC and novel‐m0780‐5p are present in the genomes of six Bemisia tabaci species. The expression of a novel miRNA in multiple B . tabaci species suggests that the miRNA evolved after panBC acquisition, and allowed this gene to be more tightly regulated. Our discovery provides the first account of a HTG being regulated by a miRNA from the host genome, and suggests key roles for interactions between miRNAs and HTGs in the functioning of symbiosis.

Evolutionary and ecological patterns of scatter‐ and larder‐hoarding behaviours in rodents - Yongjun Zhang; Fei Yu; Xianfeng Yi; Weiwei Zhou; Rui Liu; Marcel Holyoak; Lin Cao; Mingming Zhang; Jiani Chen; Zhibin Zhang; Chuan Yan (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Scatter‐ and larder hoarding are the primary strategies of food‐hoarding animals and have important implications for plant‐animal interactions and plant recruitment. However, their origins and influencing factors have not been fully investigated across a wide range of taxa. Our systematic literature search amassed data for 183 seed‐hoarding rodent species worldwide and tested relationships of seed‐hoarding behaviours with phylogenetic signal, functional traits and environmental factors. We found that the evolution of hoarding strategies was not random in phylogeny, and scatter hoarding originated independently multiple times from larder hoarding. Rodents with higher encephalisation quotient (relative brain size), omnivorous diet (related to dependence on seeds) and inhabiting lower latitudes were disproportionately likely to scatter hoard. Despite body mass’s potential relationship with competition through food defence, it was associated with food‐hoarding strategy only in a few families. Our results show the need to study the community and ecological context of food‐hoarding behaviours.

Cultivation and Functional Characterization of a Deep-Sea Lentisphaerae Representative Reveals Its Unique Physiology and Ecology - Tianhang Zhang; Rikuan Zheng; Rui Liu; Ronggui Li; Chaomin Sun (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
As a member of Planctomycetes – Verrucomicrobia – Chlamydia (PVC) superphylum, the phylum Lentisphaerae is broadly distributed in various environments. Lentisphaerae members have been recognized as being typically difficult to isolate in pure culture—only five strains belonging to this phylum were cultured up to now—and therefore their major physiology and ecology are largely unknown. Here, using a polysaccharide degradation-driven strategy, we successfully cultured a representative of Lentisphaerae bacteria ( Candidatus Coldseepensis marina zth2) from the deep-sea cold seep. Based on physiological and phylogenetic analyses, strain zth2 is identified as a type strain of a novel family. Notably, strain zth2 divides by a budding manner and a unique feature seen in ultrathin-section electron microscopic observation is the occurrence of narrow protrusions, namely, both cell wall and cytoplasm on the surface of strain zth2. Through growth assays and transcriptomic analyses, strain zth2 was verified to efficiently utilize polysaccharides, phosphate, and iron for growth. Strikingly, the utilization of polysaccharide, phosphate, and iron is correlative and jointly contributes to carbon, phosphorus, and iron metabolisms and thereby facilitating the production of energy. By mimicking the ocean environment and using operational taxonomic units (OTUs) analysis, we demonstrated that strain zth2 significantly enrich the microbial diversity by metabolizing polysaccharides or other substances. Overall, we propose that Lentisphaerae members are potential contributors to the cycling of nutrient, carbon, phosphorus, and other elements in the deep biosphere.

Dysfunction of FadA‐cAMP signalling decreases Aspergillus flavus resistance to antimicrobial natural preservative Perillaldehyde and AFB1 biosynthesis - Kunlong Yang; Qingru Geng; Yue Luo; Rui Xie; Tongzheng Sun; Zhen Wang; Ling Qin; Wei Zhao; Man Liu; Yongxin Li; Jun Tian (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that colonizes agriculture crops with aflatoxin contamination. We found that Perillaldehyde (PAE) effectively inhibited A . flavus viability and aflatoxin production by inducing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). Transcriptome analysis indicated that the Gα protein FadA was significantly induced by PAE. Functional characterization of FadA showed it is important for asexual development and aflatoxin biosynthesis by regulation of cAMP‐PKA signalling. The Δ fadA mutant was more sensitive to PAE, while Δ pdeL and Δ pdeH mutants can tolerate excess PAE compared to wild‐type A . flavus . Further RNA‐sequence analysis showed that fadA was important for expression of genes involved in oxidation–reduction and cellular metabolism. The flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that Δ fadA accumulated more concentration of ROS in cells, and the transcriptome data indicated that genes involved in ROS scavenging were downregulated in Δ fadA mutant. We further found that FadA participated in regulating response to extracellular environmental stresses by increasing phosphorylation levels of MAPK Kinase Slt2 and Hog1. Overall, our results indicated that FadA signalling engages in mycotoxin production and A . flavus resistance to antimicrobial PAE, which provide valuable information for controlling this fungus and AF biosynthesis in pre‐ and postharvest of agricultural crops.

Establishing a Risk Assessment Framework for Marine Assets and Assessing Typhoon Lekima Storm Surge for the Laizhou Bay Coastal Area of the Bohai Sea, China - Jian Li; Dongxue Mo; Rui Li; Yijun Hou; Qingrong Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Effective risk assessment can reduce the economic losses and physical damage caused by marine dynamic processes, such as storm surges. Most risk assessments of marine disasters are based on regional parameters and discrete hazard grades. Targeted, multilevel, and multiangle risk assessments are urgently needed. This study focuses on specific types of affected infrastructure. We established a sensitivity matrix by considering the effects of different disaster causal factors on different types of affected infrastructure. Through this matrix, hazards, vulnerability, and emergency response and recovery capability were effectively combined in a risk assessment framework. We completed the risk calculation for multiple concurrent effects of disasters in areas with superimposed key infrastructure using complementary risk superposition. The hazard grade, vulnerability grade, and coefficient of emergency response and recovery capability were established based on the means of return period, characteristics of disaster distribution, types of affected infrastructure and disaster relief distance, and were continuous by solving functions, normal cumulative distributions, and analytic functions. On the basis of reasonable MIKE21 numerical simulation and abstract spatial distribution of vulnerable assets, we tested the rationality of the assessment system in the Lekima typhoon storm surge process. The results showed that the assessment system accurately reflected the risk of damage to the important infrastructure in terms of spatial distribution. Therefore, this risk assessment framework was suitable for the assessment of a marine dynamic disaster process in the lower Laizhou Bay coastal area of the Bohai Sea, China. Moreover, it provided a reference for disaster prevention and reduction, guided the way for decision making, and effectively reduced disaster losses.

Linking net interaction effects with network topologies in food webs - Chuan Yan; Yongjun Zhang; Rui Liu (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022)
Aim The difficulty in predicting responses to press perturbation is largely due to the tangled nature of indirect interactions in natural ecological networks. Although previous theories have paved the way for evaluating net interaction effects by incorporating direct and indirect effects related to press perturbation, there are still critical knowledge gaps regarding the relationships between net interaction effects and network topologies because of lack of comparable interaction strengths across ecosystems. Location Global. Time period 1984–2020. Major taxa studied Aquatic organisms. Methods We compiled a global dataset of food webs with a consistent modelling method to estimate direct interaction strength. We revealed the general patterns of net interaction effects and their associations with network topologies by applying matrix theory and network analysis. Results In the examined food webs, the net (absolute) interaction strengths followed a right‐skewed pattern (many weak and few strong net strengths) and were significantly associated with various network‐ and species‐level topological structures. Indirect effects led to the emergence of net mutualism and competition effects rather than simply net predator–prey interaction effects, and might play an important role in changing signs from direct to net interaction effects in species‐rich and highly connected food webs and for species with a large number of interaction partners. Main conclusions Our results highlight the ecological significance and necessity of linking net interaction effects with network topologies, which can help target ecosystems and species that are more vulnerable to sustained perturbation in the application of conservation and biodiversity management.

Conservation planning on China's borders with Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam - Lin Wang; Bin Yang; Yang Bai; Xiaoqiang Lu; Richard T. Corlett; Yunhong Tan; Xiao‐Yong Chen; Jianguo Zhu; Yan Liu; Rui‐Chang Quan (Conservation Biology, 2021)
Transboundary conservation is playing an increasingly important role in maintaining ecosystem integrity and halting biodiversity loss caused by anthropogenic activities. However, lack of information on species distributions in transboundary regions and understanding of the threats in these areas impairs conservation. We developed a spatial conservation plan for the transboundary areas between Yunnan province, southwestern China, and neighboring Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam in the Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspot. To identify priority areas for conservation and restoration, we determined species distribution patterns and recent land‐use changes and examined the spatiotemporal dynamics of the connected natural forest, which supports most species. We assessed connectivity with equivalent connected area (ECA), which is the amount of reachable habitat for a species. An ECA incorporates the presence of habitat in a patch and the amount of habitat in other patches within dispersal distance. We analyzed 197,845 locality records from specimen collections and monographs for 21,004 plant and vertebrate species. The region of Yunnan immediately adjacent to the international borders had the highest species richness, with 61% of recorded species and 56% of threatened vertebrates, which suggests high conservation value. Satellite imagery showed the area of natural forest in the border zone declined by 5.2% (13,255 km 2 ) from 1995 to 2018 and monoculture plantations increased 92.4%, shrubland 10.1%, and other cropland 6.2%. The resulting decline in connected natural forest reduced the amount of habitat, especially for forest specialists with limited dispersal abilities. The most severe decline in connectivity was along the Sino‐Vietnamese border. Many priority areas straddle international boundaries, indicating demand and potential for establishing transboundary protected areas. Our results illustrate the importance of bi‐ and multilateral cooperation to protect biodiversity in this region and provide guidance for future conservation planning and practice.

Characteristics of Ichthyoplankton Communities and Their Relationship With Environmental Factors Above the Ninety East Ridge, Eastern Indian Ocean - Liyan Zhang; Jing Zhang; Shigang Liu; Rui Wang; Jiali Xiang; Xing Miao; Ran Zhang; Puqing Song; Longshan Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The Ninety East Ridge is a submarine north–south oriented volcanic ridge in the eastern Indian Ocean. Surface-layer ichthyoplankton collected in this area from September to October were identified by combined morphological and molecular (DNA barcoding) techniques, and their species composition, diversity, and abundance, and correlations with environmental variables were described. Collections comprised 109 larvae and 507 eggs, which were identified to 37 taxa in 7 orders, 20 families, and 27 genera, and were dominated by the order Perciformes and species Vinciguerria sp., Oxyporhamphus micropterus , and Decapterus macarellus . Species abundances at each station and of each species were relatively low, suggesting that this area or the time of sampling were not of major importance for fish spawning. Waters above Ninety East Ridge had lower species diversity but higher species richness than waters further offshore. A generalized additive model revealed that high abundance of ichthyoplanktonic taxa occurred in areas with low sea surface height and high sea surface salinity, temperature, and chlorophyll a concentration. Of these, sea surface height was most correlated with ichthyoplankton abundance. We provided baseline data on surface-dwelling ichthyoplankton communities in this area to aid in development of pelagic fishery resources in waters around the Ninety East Ridge.

Chronic Exposure to Hypoxia Inhibits Myelinogenesis and Causes Motor Coordination Deficits in Adult Mice - Lin Chen; Shu-Yu Ren; Rui-Xue Li; Kun Liu; Jing-Fei Chen; Yu-Jian Yang; Yong-Bin Deng; Han-Zhi Wang; Lan Xiao; Feng Mei; Fei Wang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Exposure to chronic hypoxia is considered to be a risk factor for deficits in brain function in adults, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Since active myelinogenesis persists in the adult central nervous system, here we aimed to investigate the impact of chronic hypoxia on myelination and the related functional consequences in adult mice. Using a transgenic approach to label newly-generated myelin sheaths ( NG2-CreER TM ; Tau-mGFP ), we found that myelinogenesis was highly active in most brain regions, such as the motor cortex and corpus callosum. After exposure to hypoxia (10% oxygen) 12 h per day for 4 weeks, myelinogenesis was largely inhibited in the 4-month old brain and the mice displayed motor coordination deficits revealed by the beam-walking test. To determine the relationship between the inhibited myelination and functional impairment, we induced oligodendroglia-specific deletion of the transcription factor Olig2 by tamoxifen ( NG2-CreER TM ; Tau-mGFP; Olig2 fl/fl ) in adult mice to mimic the decreased myelinogenesis caused by hypoxia. The deletion of Olig2 inhibited myelinogenesis and consequently impaired motor coordination, suggesting that myelinogenesis is required for motor function in adult mice. To understand whether enhancing myelination could protect brain functions against hypoxia, we treated hypoxic mice with the myelination-enhancing drug-clemastine, which resulted in enhanced myelogenesis and improved motor coordination. Taken together, our data indicate that chronic hypoxia inhibits myelinogenesis and causes functional deficits in the brain and that enhancing myelinogenesis protects brain functions against hypoxia-related deficits.

Dicer Deletion in Astrocytes Inhibits Oligodendroglial Differentiation and Myelination - Kun Liu; Bin Yu; Jing-Fei Chen; Rui-Xue Li; Lin Chen; Shu-Yu Ren; Fei Wang; Feng Mei; Lan Xiao (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Increasing evidence has shown that astrocytes are implicated in regulating oligodendrocyte myelination, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. To understand whether microRNAs in astrocytes function in regulating oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination in the developing and adult CNS, we generated inducible astrocyte-specific Dicer conditional knockout mice (hGFAP-CreERT; Dicer fl/fl). By using a reporter mouse line (mT/mG), we confirmed that hGFAP-CreERT drives an efficient and astrocyte-specific recombination in the developing CNS, upon tamoxifen treatment from postnatal day 3 (P3) to P7. The Dicer deletion in astrocytes resulted in inhibited oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination in the developing CNS of Dicer cKO mice at P10 and P14, and did not alter the densities of neurons or axons, indicating that Dicer in astrocytes is required for oligodendrocyte myelination. Consequently, the Dicer deletion in astrocytes at P3 resulted in impaired spatial memory and motor coordination at the age of 9 weeks. To understand whether Dicer in astrocytes is also required for remyelination, we induced Dicer deletion in 3-month-old mice and then injected lysolecithin into the corpus callosum to induce demyelination. The Dicer deletion in astrocytes blocked remyelination in the corpus callosum 14 days after induced demyelination. Together, our results indicate that Dicer in astrocytes is required for oligodendroglia myelination in both the developing and adult CNS.

Maribellus comscasis sp. nov., a novel deep‐sea Bacteroidetes bacterium, possessing a prominent capability of degrading cellulose - Rikuan Zheng; Ruining Cai; Rui Liu; Ge Liu; Chaomin Sun (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Bacteroidetes are thought to be specialized for the degradation of algae‐derived ocean polysaccharides. Here, we show that Bacteroidetes are the predominant phylum in deep‐sea sediments and possess more genes associated with polysaccharides degradation than other bacteria. We have isolated a novel Bacteroidetes species from the deep‐sea sediments by using a special polysaccharide containing medium, Maribellus comscasis WC007, which possesses 82 putative polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) containing 374 glycoside hydrolases and 82 SusC/D pairs (Sus indicates s tarch u tilization s ystem; SusC represents the actual TonB‐dependent transporter, and SusD is an associated substrate‐binding outer membrane lipoprotein) together with 58 sigma/antisigma factors. Through an in‐depth analysis of these PULs, strain WC007 can efficiently degrade numerous different polysaccharides including cellulose, pectin, fucoidan, mannan, xylan and starch, which are verified by growth assays. Notably, we find that cellulose has the most significant growth‐promoting effect on M . comscasis WC007. And based on scanning electron microscope observation, transcriptomics and metabolomics, we further report on the underlying mechanisms of cellulose degradation and utilization, as well as potential contributions to the carbon cycle. Overall, our results suggest that Bacteroidetes may play key roles in the carbon cycle, likely due to their high abundance and prominent polysaccharide degradation capabilities.

Growth promotion of a deep‐sea bacterium by sensing infrared light through a bacteriophytochrome photoreceptor - Ge Liu; Yeqi Shan; Rikuan Zheng; Rui Liu; Chaomin Sun (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Photoreceptors are found in all kingdoms of life and bacteriophytochromes (Bphps) are the most abundant photo‐sensing receptors in bacteria. Interestingly, BphPs have been linked to some bacterial physiological responses, yet most of the biological processes they regulate are still elusive, especially in non‐photosynthetic bacteria. Here, we show that a bacteriophytochrome (CmoBphp) from a deep‐sea bacterium Croceicoccus marinus OT19 perceives infrared light (wavelength at 940 nm) and transduces photo‐sensing signals to a downstream intracellular transduction cascade for better growth. We discover that the infrared light‐mediated growth promotion of C. marinus OT19 is attributed partly to the enhancement of pyruvate and propanoate metabolism. Further study suggests that CmoBphp plays a crucial role in integrating infrared light with intracellular signalling to control the bacterial growth and metabolism. This is the first report that deep‐sea non‐photosynthetic bacteria can sense infrared light to control growth through a bacteriophytochrome photoreceptor, thus providing new understandings towards light energy utilization by microorganisms.

Swi6B , an alternative splicing isoform of Swi6, mediates the cell wall integrity of Ganoderma lucidum - Lingdan Lian; Guang Zhang; Jing Zhu; Yunxiao Wang; Lingshuai Wang; Rui Liu; Liang Shi; Ang Ren; Mingwen Zhao (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary The cell wall integrity (CWI) signaling activates the transcription factor Swi6 through a MAPK signaling cascade in response to cell wall stresses. In this study, we observed two different mRNA variants of swi6 ( GlSwi6A and GlSwi6B ) existed, due to alternative splicing. Besides, the expression level of GlSwi6B was higher than that of the GlSwi6A mRNA variant. The co‐silencing of GlSwi6A and GlSwi6B was more sensitive to cell wall stress compared with WT, resulting in a decrease of 78% and 76% in chitin and β‐1,3‐ d ‐glucan content respectively. However, only the overexpression of GlSwi6B decreased the sensitivity to cell wall stress and increased the content of chitin and β‐1,3‐ d ‐glucan compared with the WT strain. Furthermore, Y1H, EMSA and BLI assays revealed that the GlSwi6B could bind to the promoters of chitin and glucan synthesis genes (GL24454 and GL18134). However, the binding phenome has not been observed in the isoform GlSwi6A. Taken together, our results found two different transcripts generated from Swi6 , in which the alternative splice isoform of GlSwi6B participates in regulating the CWI of G . lucidum . This study provides the first insight into the alternative splicing isoform of GlSwi6B in the regulation of CWI signaling in fungi.

Calcium protects bacteria against cadmium stress via reducing nitric oxide production and increasing iron acquisition - Zuodong Wu; Rikuan Zheng; Ge Liu; Rui Liu; Shimei Wu; Chaomin Sun (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Cadmium (Cd) is a common toxic heavy metal in the environment, and bacteria have evolved different strategies against Cd‐toxicity. Here, we found that marine bacterium Bacillus sp. 98 could significantly alleviate Cd‐toxicity by recruiting calcium (Ca) for reducing excessive intracellular nitric oxide (NO) and enhancing iron acquisition. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, mass spectrometry‐based proteomic analysis was applied to Bacillus sp. 98 after treated with Cd supplemented with or without Ca. Compared with bacterial cells treated with Cd only, the proteomic results showed that the expression level of NO synthase was markedly down‐regulated, while the expression levels of NO dioxygenase, which is responsible for converting NO to nitrate, and proteins associated with iron uptake were profoundly enhanced when Ca was supplemented. Consistently, bacterial intracellular NO amount was dramatically increased after Bacillus sp. 98 was treated with Cd, and reversed to a normal level when Ca or iron was supplemented. Notably, Ca also protected bacteria against stresses from other heavy metals including Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni and Zn, and this self‐protection strategy was adopted as well in zebrafish, which encourages us to develop Ca‐associated products against heavy metals toxicity in the future.

Antifungal Effect of Long Noncoding RNA 9708-1 in the Vulvovaginal Candidiasis Murine Model - Ying Wu; Lisha Jiang; Lingling Zhang; Xia Liu; Lina Yan; Ting Luan; Can Rui; Zhiyuan Mao; Chong Fan; Yu Liu; Ping Li; Xin Zeng (Mycopathologia, 2021)
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.

Vertical influence of temperature and precipitation on snow cover variability in the Yarlung Zangbo River basin, China - Chunguang Ban; Zongxue Xu; Depeng Zuo; Xiaowan Liu; Rui Zhang; Jing Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Seasonal snow cover in mountainous areas is a key source of water for downstream regions. The snow cover area (SCA) in the Northern Hemisphere has significantly decreased during the past decades in response to global warming. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the primary factors controlling the spatiotemporal variabilities in the SCA in high altitude regions. In this study, based on remote sensing data of SCA, temperature, and precipitation in the Yarlung Zangbo River basin, Pearson's correlation analysis was used to identify the relative importance of temperature and precipitation on the SCA variability with altitude. The results showed that temperature played a more dominant role for the SCA than precipitation at all elevation during the period 2001–2017; three threshold altitudes at high, moderate, and low elevation were identified, and these threshold altitudes are dynamic and vary with time; the threshold altitude at high elevation was 5,925 ± 125 m, below which temperature (precipitation) was negatively (positively) correlated and above which temperature (precipitation) was positively (negatively) correlated with the SCA; the threshold altitude at moderate elevation was 3,200 ± 300 m, below which temperature (precipitation) was positively (negatively) correlated and above which temperature (precipitation) was negatively (positively) correlated with the SCA; the threshold altitude in low elevation regions was 2,100 ± 200 m. This study sheds light on the dominant climatic control factors on the variability in SCA in high altitude regions. These results have major implications for SCA and water resources availability under future climate change.

T4 ‐like myovirus community shaped by dispersal and deterministic processes in the South China Sea - Huifang Li; Lu Liu; Yu Wang; Lanlan Cai; Maoqiu He; Long Wang; Chen Hu; Nianzhi Jiao; Rui Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary As the most abundant and genetically diverse biological entities, viruses significantly influence ecological, biogeographical and evolutionary processes in the ocean. However, the biogeography of marine viruses and the drivers shaping viral community are unclear. Here, the biogeographic patterns of T4‐like viruses and the relative impacts of deterministic (environmental selection) and dispersal (spatial distance) processes were investigated in the northern South China Sea. The dominant viral operational taxonomic units were affiliated with previously defined Marine, Estuary, Lake and Paddy Groups. A clear viral biogeographic pattern was observed along the environmental gradient from the estuary to open sea. Marine Groups I and IV had a wide geographical distribution, whereas Marine Groups II, III and V were abundant in lower‐salinity continental or eutrophic environments. A significant distance‐decay pattern was noted for the T4‐like viral community, especially for those infecting cyanobacteria. Both deterministic and dispersal processes influenced viral community assembly, although environmental selection (e.g. temperature, salinity, bacterial abundance and community, etc.) had a greater impact than spatial distance. Network analysis confirmed the strong association between viral and bacterial community composition, and suggested a diverse ecological relationship (e.g. lysis, co‐infection or mutualistic) between and within viruses and their potential bacterial hosts.

The substrate‐dependent regulatory effects of the AfeI /R system in Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans reveals the novel regulation strategy of quorum sensing in acidophiles - Xue‐Yan Gao; Chang‐Ai Fu; Likai Hao; Xiu‐Feng Gu; Rui Wang; Jian‐Qiang Lin; Xiang‐Mei Liu; Xin Pang; Cheng‐Jia Zhang; Jian‐Qun Lin; Lin‐Xu Chen (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary A LuxI/R‐like quorum sensing (QS) system (AfeI/R) has been reported in the acidophilic and chemoautotrophic Acidithiobacillus spp. However, the function of AfeI/R remains unclear because of the difficulties in the genetic manipulation of these bacteria. Here, we constructed different afeI mutants of the sulfur‐ and iron‐oxidizer A . ferrooxidans , identified the N‐acyl homoserine lactones (acyl‐HSLs) synthesized by AfeI, and determined the regulatory effects of AfeI/R on genes expression, extracellular polymeric substance synthesis, energy metabolism, cell growth and population density of A . ferrooxidans in different energy substrates. Acyl‐HSLs‐mediated distinct regulation strategies were employed to influence bacterial metabolism and cell growth of A . ferrooxidans cultivated in either sulfur or ferrous iron. Based on these findings, an energy‐substrate‐dependent regulation mode of AfeI/R in A . ferrooxidans was illuminated that AfeI/R could produce different types of acyl‐HSLs and employ specific acyl‐HSLs to regulate specific genes in response to different energy substrates. The discovery of the AfeI/R‐mediated substrate‐dependent regulatory mode expands our knowledge on the function of QS system in the chemoautotrophic sulfur‐ and ferrous iron‐oxidizing bacteria, and provides new insights in understanding energy metabolism modulation, population control, bacteria‐driven bioleaching process, and the coevolution between the acidophiles and their acidic habitats.

Nitric oxide regulates ganoderic acid biosynthesis by the S‐nitrosylation of aconitase under heat stress in Ganoderma lucidum - Rui Liu; Ting Zhu; Tao Yang; Zhengyan Yang; Ang Ren; Liang Shi; Jing Zhu; Hanshou Yu; Mingwen Zhao (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signalling molecule in stress response of organisms. We previously reported that NO decreases heat stress (HS)‐induced ganoderic acid (GA) accumulation in Ganoderma lucidum . To explore the mechanisms by which NO modulates GA biosynthesis under HS, the effect of NO on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content was examined. The results showed that NO decreased the production of mitochondrial ROS (mitROS) by 60% under HS. Further research revealed that NO reduced the mitROS content by inhibiting aconitase (Acon) activity. The GA content in Acon‐silenced (Aconi) strains treated with NO donor did not differ significantly from that in untreated Aconi strains. To study the mechanism by which Acon activity is inhibited, the S‐nitrosylation level of Acon was determined. Biotin‐switch technology and mass spectrometry analysis were used to show that Acon is S‐nitrosylated at the Cys‐594 amino acid residue. Substitution of Cys‐594 with a Ser, which cannot be S‐nitrosylated, abolished the responsiveness of Acon to the NO‐induced reduction in its enzymatic activity. These findings demonstrate that NO inhibits Acon activity through S‐nitrosylation at Cys‐594. In summary, these findings describe mechanism by which NO regulates GA biosynthesis via S‐nitrosylation of Acon under HS condition in G . lucidum .

Ca2+/Calmodulin-NOS/NO-TNFs Pathway Hallmarks the Inflammation Response of Oyster During Aerial Exposure - Hao Chen; Lusheng Xin; Lin Wang; Huan Zhang; Rui Liu; Hao Wang; Xue Qiao; Lingling Wang; Linsheng Song (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Aerial exposure (emersion) due to the periodical ebb and flow of tides is a major stressor for intertidal organisms and a key environmental factor in shaping their local communities. Oysters are among the most emersion-tolerant mollusk species and can survive for several days under aerial exposure. Noticeably, overwhelming inflammation responses could occur during the emersion stress. However, mechanisms beneath the activation and modulation of emersion-induced inflammation response have remained largely unknown. Ca 2+ is an important intracellular second messenger that plays indispensable roles in inflammation response by cooperation with calmodulin (CaM) genes. Here, we showed that intracellular Ca 2+ accumulates rapidly in oyster hemocytes during emersion stress along with the changes in the protein levels of three CaM genes, which function as intracellular sensors of Ca 2+ . As downstream effector of Ca 2+ /CaM complex, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in hemocytes was enhanced during the emersion stress, facilitating a greater production of nitrite oxide (NO). Augmentation of NO concentration was associated with the increased mRNA expression levels of two oyster cytokines (CgTNFs) during aerial exposure. The robust accumulation of cytokines and severe injury of tissues in oysters have been regarded as potential cause and marker of their death in prolonged emersion stress. Here, both the expression levels of CgTNFs and the tissue injuries of oysters were attenuated when Ca 2+ /CaM complex or NOS activity were repressed in vivo during the emersion stress. These findings indicate that Ca 2+ /CaM-NOS/NO-CgTNFs pathway is critically involved in the emersion-induced inflammation response in oysters and plays a role in the resistance against long-term aerial exposure.
