Distribution and physical–biological controls of dimethylsulfide in the western tropical Indian Ocean during winter monsoon - Shi-Mei Liang; Xing Zhai; Cheng-Xuan Li; Ming Xin; Ping Sun; Xuan-Li Liu; Lin Liu; Bao-Dong Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
New field observation on distribution, turnover, and sea–air flux of three dimethylated sulfur compounds (dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethylsulfoniopropionate, and dimethylsulfoxide) in the western tropical Indian Ocean (WTIO; 4°N–10°S, 61°–65°E) were conducted under the major Global Change and Air–Sea Interaction Program during the 2021/2022 Northeast Monsoon (December 21, 2021 to January 11, 2022). Significantly high surface concentrations of DMS were identified in the region of the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR; 5°–10°S). This occurred because the shallow thermocline/nitracline and associated upwelling fueled biological production of DMS in the subsurface, which was brought to the surface through vertical mixing. The calculated sea–air DMS flux was also significantly strong in the SCTR region during the Northeast Monsoon owing to combination of high wind speed and high surface concentration of DMS. This finding is similar to results obtained previously during the Southwest Monsoon, suggesting that the SCTR region is an area of active DMS emission during both the Northeast Monsoon and the Southwest Monsoon. Microbial consumption was the dominant pathway of DMS removal, accounting for 74.4% of the total, whereas the processes of photolysis (17.7%) and ventilation (7.9%) were less important. Future work should be undertaken in the WTIO to establish how DMS emission is linked to aerosol properties and climate change.

Response of bacterial communities (Marivita, Marinobacter, and Oceanicaulis) in the phycosphere to the growth of Phaeodactylum tricornutum in different inorganic nitrogen sources - Xiaoxue Wei; Feng Shi; Zixi Chen; Jianfeng Feng; Lin Zhu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Introduction In marine ecosystems, microbial communities are important drivers of material circulation and energy flow. The complex interactions between phytoplankton and bacterial communities constitute one of the most crucial ecological relationships in the marine environment. Inorganic nitrogen can affect the type of relationship between algae and bacteria. However, the quantitative relationship between the bacterial communities, inorganic nitrogen, and phytoplankton remains unclear. Methods Under laboratory conditions, we altered the forms (nitrate and ammonium) and amounts of nitrogen sources to study the dynamics of bacterial biomass, diversity, and community structure in the phycosphere of the marine model species Phaeodactylum tricornutum . The bacterial community structure during P. tricornutum growth was analyzed using Illumina HiSeq sequencing of 16S rDNA amplicons. Results The results indicated that inorganic nitrogen concentration was the main factor promoting P. tricornutum biomass growth. The change in the algal biomass would significantly increase the phycosphere bacterial biomass. The bacterial biomass in the algal-bacteria co-culture system was 1.5 ~ 5 times that of the conditional control groups without microalgae under the same culture conditions. The variation of P. tricornutum biomass also affected the bacterial communities in the phycosphere. When P. tricornutum was in the exponential phase (96 ~ 192 h), the bacterial community structure differed between the high- and low-concentration groups. The difference in the bacterial communities over time in the high-concentration groups was more prominent than in the low-concentration groups. Under high-concentration groups (HA and HN), the relative abundance of Marivita and Marinobacter , engaged in the transformation of aquatic inorganic nitrogen, gradually decreased with time. However, the relative abundance of Oceanicaulis , closely related to algal growth, gradually increased with time. Discussion The above phenomena might be related to the change in P. tricornutum biomass. Our results explain when and how the phycosphere bacterial communities responded to algal biomass variations. The study provides a foundation for the quantitative relationship among nutrients, microalgae, and bacteria in this system.

RNA-seq analysis reveals the effect of the metamorphic cue (juvenile oysters) on the Rapana venosa larvae - Mei-Jie Yang; Ying Shi; Zhi-Shu Lin; Pu Shi; Zhi Hu; Cong Zhou; Peng-Peng Hu; Zheng-Lin Yu; Tao Zhang; Hao Song (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
As a vital developmental event, metamorphosis controls the population dynamics of most marine invertebrates and affects the breeding of economic shellfish. Rapana venosa is an economically important species in China, but artificial aquaculture has hampered its metamorphosis process. Previous studies have found that juvenile oysters can effectively induce the metamorphosis of R. venosa , but the specific induction mechanism is not clear. Here, we investigated the mechanism underlying the response of R. venosa to juvenile oysters through the RNA-seq analysis. In this study, the gene set responses to metamorphosis cues (juvenile oysters) in R. venosa were identified, and GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were further performed on these gene sets. The results showed that the expression of the prototype of the class of immediate early genes, the transcription factor AP-1, was rapidly and significantly increased, and the molecular chaperone of NOS, HSP90, exhibited lower expression in the M12 group than in the control group. In contrast, the expression of inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) was significantly increased upon exposure to juvenile oysters. Additionally, the Wnt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway were enriched in the trend analysis. These pathways may also play critical regulatory roles in the response to juvenile oysters. Taken together, the results show that competent larvae rapidly respond to the inducing effects of oysters via some immediate early genes, such as the transcription factor AP-1, which may further regulate downstream pathways such as the MAPK signaling pathway to cause subsequent changes, including a decrease in HSP90 and an increase in IAPs. These changes together may regulate the metamorphosis of R. venosa . This study provides further evidence that juvenile oysters are the metamorphosis cues of R. venosa , which may enhance our understanding of the metamorphosis mechanism in this marine invertebrate.

Somatostatin-Positive Neurons in the Rostral Zona Incerta Modulate Innate Fear-Induced Defensive Response in Mice - Shan Lin; Meng-Yue Zhu; Meng-Yu Tang; Mi Wang; Xiao-Dan Yu; Yi Zhu; Shi-Ze Xie; Dan Yang; Jiadong Chen; Xiao-Ming Li (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2023)
Defensive behaviors induced by innate fear or Pavlovian fear conditioning are crucial for animals to avoid threats and ensure survival. The zona incerta (ZI) has been demonstrated to play important roles in fear learning and fear memory, as well as modulating auditory-induced innate defensive behavior. However, whether the neuronal subtypes in the ZI and specific circuits can mediate the innate fear response is largely unknown. Here, we found that somatostatin (SST)-positive neurons in the rostral ZI of mice were activated by a visual innate fear stimulus. Optogenetic inhibition of SST-positive neurons in the rostral ZI resulted in reduced flight responses to an overhead looming stimulus. Optogenetic activation of SST-positive neurons in the rostral ZI induced fear-like defensive behavior including increased immobility and bradycardia. In addition, we demonstrated that manipulation of the GABAergic projections from SST-positive neurons in the rostral ZI to the downstream nucleus reuniens (Re) mediated fear-like defensive behavior. Retrograde trans-synaptic tracing also revealed looming stimulus-activated neurons in the superior colliculus (SC) that projected to the Re-projecting SST-positive neurons in the rostral ZI (SC-ZIr SST -Re pathway). Together, our study elucidates the function of SST-positive neurons in the rostral ZI and the SC-ZIr SST -Re tri-synaptic circuit in mediating the innate fear response.

Data‐driven models employed to waste plastic in China: Generation, classification, and environmental assessment - Kunsen Lin; Youcai Zhao; Meilan Zhang; Wenjie Shi; Jia‐Hong Kuo (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2023)
It is crucial to precisely predict the generation of plastic waste and realize its fine classification in terms of policy demand and environmental benefits. Only a few studies have used the date‐driven model to forecast the amount of plastic waste. The benefits of classifying the plastic waste using deep learning have also been only scarcely reported in the literature. Therefore, this study used the Prophet model to estimate the amount of plastic waste from 2005 to 2025. Four types of Visual Geometry Group Networks based on Transfer Learning (TLVGGNet) were performed for classifying the plastic waste. Potentials of saved energy, the reduction of green‐house gases emission (GHG), and air pollutants were also discussed under different scenarios (current recycling system and TLVGGNet system). The results showed that the amount of waste plastic was anticipated to be 26.44 Mt in 2020 and 33.18 Mt in 2025 in China. The method of transfer learning could shorten the training time and improve the performance of the TLVGGNet‐11 model in the test dataset (41.6–68.1%). Moreover, TLVGGNet‐16 was considered to be the most optimum model for plastic waste classification in terms of training time (83.94 s), accuracy (75.5%), precision (76.9%), recall (75.5%), and F1 score (75.1%). The TLVGGNet‐16 system contributes about 12.15–15.97% in terms of electricity‐savings. Compared with the current recycling system, the amount of CO 2 emissions saved and reduction in CH 4 emissions could be more than 8–10% and 0.4–0.5%, respectively, in the TLVGGNet‐16 system. The saved VOC S and NO X emissions were within the ranges of 34.84–127.22 billion kg and 93.64–414.14 billion kg between 2017 and 2025 using the method of deep learning.

Unique bacterial communities and lifestyles in deep ocean blue holes: Insights from the Yongle Blue Hole (South China Sea) - Shun Zhou; Jiwen Liu; Peng Yao; Liang Fu; Zuosheng Yang; Yulin Zhang; Rui Du; Chao Jia; Lin Chen; Jinchang Liang; Xiaolei Wang; Xiaochong Shi; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Deep ocean blue holes possess steep physicochemical gradients, especially low dissolved oxygen concentration, which shape the extraordinary microbial communities. However, the environmental responses of microorganisms with different lifestyles and knowledge of culturable microorganisms in the blue holes are still unknown. Here, we investigated the bacterial community structure with different lifestyles of the world’s deepest blue hole - the Yongle Blue Hole (YBH) in the South China Sea using both culture-dependent and -independent methods. YBH can be divided by oxygen content into an oxic zone, a suboxic zone and two anoxic zones. The abundance of bacteria, archaea, genes dsrB and soxB were all higher in the free-living (FL) lifestyle than in the particle-associated (PA) lifestyle, yet the diversity and richness of PA bacteria were higher than that of FL bacteria. More Gammaproteobacteria and less Alphaproteobacteria , Chloroflexi and Nitrospinae were observed within the FL fraction than within the PA fraction. The relative abundance of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) was dominant between 100-140 m (anoxic zone I) in YBH, with a maximum of 90.0% (140 m FL fraction). The SOB in YBH were mainly colorless sulfur bacteria and purple non-sulfur bacteria, of which Thiomicrorhabdus and Sulfurimonas were the main representatives. In addition, a total of 294 bacterial strains were isolated on a variety of media and culture conditions, and 22.2% (18/81) of anaerobic strains were identified as potential novel species. Our study reveals a distinction between FL and PA bacteria in YBH. It contributes to further understanding of the bacterial community in deep ocean blue holes, and provides bacterial resources for subsequent studies on their adaptation to extreme marine environments.

Andrographolide ameliorates hepatic steatosis by suppressing FATP2-mediated fatty acid uptake in mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease - Li-Sha Ran; Ya-Zeng Wu; Yi-Wen Gan; Hong-Lian Wang; Li-Juan Wu; Chun-Mei Zheng; Yao Ming; Ran Xiong; Yong-Lin Li; Shi-Hang Lei; Xue Wang; Xiao-Qing Lao; et al. (Journal of Natural Medicines, 2023)
Excessive intrahepatocellular lipid accumulation or steatosis is caused by abnormal lipid metabolism and a common character of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which may progress into cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. Andrographolide (Andro) is the primary active ingredient extracted from Andrographis paniculata , showing a protective role against dietary steatosis with the mechanism not fully understood. In this study, we showed that administration of Andro (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks, respectively) attenuated obesity and metabolic syndrome in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice with improved glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and reduced hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. HFD-fed mice presented hepatic steatosis, which was significantly prevented by Andro. In vitro, Andro decreased the intracellular lipid droplets in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells. The selected RT-PCR array revealed a robust expression suppression of the fatty acid transport proteins (FATPs) by Andro treatment. Most importantly, we found that Andro consistently reduced the expression of FATP2 in both the oleic acid-treated LO2 cells and liver tissues of HFD-fed mice. Overexpression of FATP2 abolished the lipid-lowering effect of Andro in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells. Andro treatment also reduced the fatty acid uptake in oleic acid-treated LO2 cells, which was blunted by FATP2 overexpression. Collectively, our findings reveal a novel mechanism underlying the anti-steatosis effect of Andro by suppressing FATP2-mediated fatty acid uptake, suggesting the potential therapeutic application of Andro in the treatment of NAFLD.

Spectrum and mortality of opportunistic infections among HIV/AIDS patients in southwestern China - Sirun Meng; Qiao Tang; Zhiman Xie; Nianning Wu; Yingmei Qin; Rongfeng Chen; Xiaoyu Chen; Xiu Chen; Yueqi Li; Minjuan Shi; Li Ye; Hao Liang; et al. (European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2023)
We describe the opportunistic infections (OIs) of HIV/AIDS to understand the spectrum, mortality, and frequency of multiple coinfected OIs among HIV/AIDS patients in southern China, where OIs are severe. We carried out a retrospective cohort study of hospitalized HIV-infected individuals at the Fourth People’s Hospital of Nanning, Guangxi, China, from Jan. 2011 to May. 2019. The chi-square test was used to analyze cross-infection; the Kaplan‒Meier analysis was used to compare mortality. A total of 12,612 HIV-infected patients were admitted to this cohort study. Among them, 8982 (71.2%) developed one or more OIs. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 9.0%. Among the patients, 35.6% coinfected one OI, and 64.4% coinfected more than two OIs simultaneously. Almost half of the patients (60.6%) had CD4 + T-cell counts < 200 cells/μL. Pneumonia (39.8%), tuberculosis (35.3%), and candidiasis (28.8%) were the most common OIs. Coinfected cryptococcal meningitis and dermatitis are the most common combined OIs. The rate of anaemia (17.0%) was highest among those common HIV-associated complications. Multiple OIs are commonly found in hospitalized HIV/AIDS patients in southwestern China, which highlights the need for improved diagnosis and treatment.

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.

Effect of Schizochytrium limacinum supplementation to a low fish-meal diet on growth performance, lipid metabolism, apoptosis, autophagy and intestinal histology of Litopenaeus vannamei - Xinzhou Yao; Yingying Lin; Menglin Shi; Liutong Chen; Kangyuan Qu; Yucheng Liu; Beiping Tan; Shiwei Xie (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
In this experiment, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the addition of Schizochytrium limacinum to low fish meal diets on growth performance, apoptosis, autophagy, lipid metabolism, and intestinal health of Lipenaeus vanamei . The diet containing 25% fish meal was used as a positive control (FM) and the other three diets contained 15% fish meal and were supplemented with 0, 0.3, and 0.6% S. Limacinum (LF, LFLD, LFHD). The shrimp (0.22 ± 0.00 g) were divided into four replicates of 40 shrimp per tank and fed four times daily to apparent satiation for 8 weeks. Results showed that the final weight (FBW) and weight gain rate (WGR) of shrimp fed FM and LFHD diets were significantly increased compared to those fed the LFLD diet ( P <0.05), and there was no significant difference in survival rate (SR) and feed conversion rate (FCR) among the groups ( P >0.05). Supplementation of S. Limacinum in low fish meal diets had no effects on shrimp body composition ( P <0.05). There were significant differences ( P <0.05) in low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) glucose (GLU), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) in the hemolymph of shrimp fed the LF diet compared to those fed the LFLD and LFHD diets. HE staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that the microvilli height, mucosal folds height, mucosal folds width and muscle layer thickness in the intestine of shrimp fed the LF diet were significantly reduced compared to those fed the other three diets ( P <0.05). Swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and irregular mitochondria in the gut of shrimp fed the LF diet was also observed by TEM, and the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria of shrimp fed the LFHD diet returned to a healthy state. Hepatopancreas genes expression results were showed that the gene expression of 5′ -AMP-activated protein kinase ( ampk ), stearoyl-CoA desaturase ( scd1 ), acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 ( acc1 ), and malonyl-CoA decarboxylase ( mcd ) of shrimp fed the LF diet was significantly increased compared to those fed the FM diet ( P <0.05). The gene expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein ( srbep ) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 ( cpt-1 ) of shrimp fed the LFLD diet was significantly increased compared to those fed the LF diet ( P <0.05). The gene expression of acc1, mcd and scd1 of shrimp fed the LFHD diet was significantly reduced compared to those fed the LF diet ( P <0.05). Results of genes expression associated with apoptosis in the hepatopancreas showed that the gene expression of B lymphocytoma-2 ( bcl-2 ), BCL2 associated X apoptosis regulator ( bax ) and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 8 ( caspase 8 ) of shrimp fed the LF diet was significantly reduced compared to those fed the FM diet ( P <0.05). The gene expression of bcl-2 of shrimp fed the LFHD diet was significantly reduced compared to those fed the LF diet ( P <0.05). Genes related to autophagy in the hepatopancreas showed that the expression of autophagy-related protein 12 ( atg 12 ), autophagy-related protein 13 ( atg 13 ) and beclin1 of shrimp fed LF the diet was significantly reduced compared to those fed the FM diet ( P <0.05). The gene expression of atg 12 and atg 13 of shrimp fed the LFHD diet was significantly increased compared to those fed the LF diet ( P <0.05). In summary, reducing fish meal is detrimental to the growth performance and intestinal health of shrimp, and 0.6% S. Limacinum supplementation can improve the growth performance, promotes hepatopancreas lipid metabolism, reduces apoptosis, promotes autophagy and improve intestinal health of Litopenaeus vannamei .

Volumetric Imaging of Neural Activity by Light Field Microscopy - Lu Bai; Zhenkun Zhang; Lichen Ye; Lin Cong; Yuchen Zhao; Tianlei Zhang; Ziqi Shi; Kai Wang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Recording the highly diverse and dynamic activities in large populations of neurons in behaving animals is crucial for a better understanding of how the brain works. To meet this challenge, extensive efforts have been devoted to developing functional fluorescent indicators and optical imaging techniques to optically monitor neural activity. Indeed, optical imaging potentially has extremely high throughput due to its non-invasive access to large brain regions and capability to sample neurons at high density, but the readout speed, such as the scanning speed in two-photon scanning microscopy, is often limited by various practical considerations. Among different imaging methods, light field microscopy features a highly parallelized 3D fluorescence imaging scheme and therefore promises a novel and faster strategy for functional imaging of neural activity. Here, we briefly review the working principles of various types of light field microscopes and their recent developments and applications in neuroscience studies. We also discuss strategies and considerations of optimizing light field microscopy for different experimental purposes, with illustrative examples in imaging zebrafish and mouse brains.

Diversity and distribution of Perkinsus spp. along the coast of China: Implications for widespread transmission of Perkinsus spp. in mollusks - Lingtong Ye; Lin Wu; Jie Lu; Tuo Yao; Jiangyong Wang; Shaokun Shi; Gang Yu; Wang Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Perkinsus species, which are parasitic pathogens of mollusks, have been transmitted and dispersed to various molluscan species along the coastal waters of many countries. However, few studies have addressed the diversity and distribution of Perkinsus spp. along the coast of China. Here we used conventional PCR amplification and sequencing techniques, combined with a qPCR assay as a confirmatory test, to evaluate the prevalence of Perkinsus species in molluscan species among different sea regions of China. Three Perkinsus species —P. olseni , P. beihaiensis , and P. chesapeaki— were detected, with P. chesapeaki reported for the first time along the Chinese coast. Seven of eight molluscan species carried Perkinsus species, including Crassostrea gigas , C. hongkongensis , Sinonovacula constricta , Ruditapes philippinarum , Scapharca subcrenata , Meretrix lyrate , and Haliotis diversicolor . Perkinsus olseni was prominent in the Yellow and Bohai Sea and East China Sea, while P. beihaiensis was prominent in the South China Sea. Most of the molluscan species carried Perkinsus spp. with the medium or low levels of PCR-prevalence (<30%). The three Perkinsus species possess high levels of internal transcriber spacer haplotypes, some of which are shared among many countries. The much higher PCR-prevalence of Perkinsus spp. in the clam Ruditapes philippinarum and the oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis suggests that Perkinsus species may be transmitted and dispersed to other mollusks through the transportation of Perkinsus -carried R. philippinarum and C. hongkongensis . Perkinsus carrying tended to be generally linked with a broader geographic range, lower prevalence, more diversified molluscan hosts, and more diversified Perkinsus haplotypes.

Horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F cold seep, the South China Sea - Xinyi Zhai; Xiaochong Shi; Haojin Cheng; Peng Yao; Bin Zhao; Lin Chen; Jiwen Liu; Lei Cao; Minxiao Wang; Lulu Fu; Xiao-Hua Zhang; Min Yu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Site F is the most vigorous cold seep known on the continental slope of the northern South China Sea. Up to now, the microbial community structures in sediments of Site F based on the high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes have been studied extensively. However, few studies investigated the microbial community structures at fine vertical scales of Site F and control stations outside Site F. In this study, a comprehensive investigation of microbial communities in sediments of Site F along the depths varying from 0 to 24 cm below sea floor (cmbsf) of four sampling sites—SRS (Southern Reduced Sediment), NRS (Northern Reduced Sediment), Control 1 (close to Site F), and Control 2 (far from Site F)—was carried out. The high relative abundances of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME), Desulfobacterota [sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)], and Campylobacteria [sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB)] in SRS and NRS indicated that these two sites were newborn cold seep sites compared with non-seep sites, Control 1, and Control 2. A positive correlation between ANME-1b, ANME-2, and SEEP-SRB and an enrichment of Sulfurovum and Methlomonadaceae were found in the surface sediments of both SRS and NRS, indicating that the processes of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), sulfur oxidation, and sulfate reduction might occur in seep sites. SRS was enriched with ANME-1b and SEEP-SRB2 with a proposed sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ) approximately located at 8 cmbsf. The high abundance of ANME in SRS may due to the high concentration of methane. NRS was enriched with ANME-2, Desulfatiglans , Sulfurovum , and Methanosarcinaceae with a proposed SMTZ at about 10 cmbsf. According to the analyses of microbial community structure and environmental factors, NRS could be described as a notable cold seep reduced sediment site with low sulfate and high H 2 S that nourished abundant SEEP-SRB1, ANME-2, Methanosarcinales , and Sulfurovum , which showed similar distribution pattern. Our study expands the current knowledge on the differences of microbial communities in cold seep sites and non-seep sites and sheds light on the horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of sediment microbial community in Site F.

Recently, the prevalence of hypertension has become a global challenge. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been made to identify and purify antihypertensive peptides (AHTPs) from food-derived proteins to aid the discovery of new hypotensive drugs with fewer side effects. In this study, we performed high-throughput prediction of AHTPs based on multi-omics data, providing an overview of AHTPs in the lined seahorse proteins and suggesting their potential application as bioactive agents to lower blood pressure. We identified 14,695 AHTP-derived genes in the lined seahorse, and most of them were supported by transcriptomic evidence, whereas only 495 genes were further detected by proteome sequencing. Among these predicted AHTP-derived genes, the longest titin had the most hits with 104 AHTPs, some of which were clustered in exon 158, 194, and 204. Another AHTP-rich group was in the collagen family, and four AHTP-rich collagens exhibited much higher transcription in the pouch than in other examined tissues, including brain, testis, and embryos. Additionally, antihypertensive triplets, comprised of the permutations of Gly, Pro, and Lys, prevailed in all collagen sequences due to the representative XaaYaaGly repeat units. In summary, our present findings provide a solid basis for understanding the abundance of various AHTPs in the lined seahorse as well as shed light on the development of antihypertensive products and drugs using seahorses as an important resource.

Discovery of the non‐cosmopolitan lineages in Candidatus Thermoprofundales - Yi‐Fan Liu; Liu Yang; Zhong‐Lin Liu; Jing Chen; Bo Fang; Lei Zhou; Jin‐Feng Liu; Shi‐Zhong Yang; Ji‐Dong Gu; Bo‐Zhong Mu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary The recently proposed order Candidatus Thermoprofundales, currently containing only one family‐level lineage Marine Benthic Group‐D (MBG‐D), is distributed in global subsurface ecosystems and ecologically important, but its diversity, evolution and metabolism remain largely unknown. Here we described two novel family‐level specialized lineages in Ca . Thermoprofundales, JdFR‐43 and HyVt, which are restricted to specific biotopes (primarily in marine hydrothermal vents and occasionally in oil reservoirs and hot springs) in contrast to the cosmopolitan lineage MBG‐D. The comparative genomics revealed that the specialized lineages have streamlined genomes, higher GC contents, enriched genes associated with nucleotide biosynthesis, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair and additional thermostable aminopeptidases, enabling them to adapt to high‐temperature habitats such as marine hydrothermal vents, deep subsurface oil reservoirs and hot springs. On the contrary, the unique metabolic traits of the cosmopolitan MBG‐D, motility, glycolysis, butanoate metabolism, secondary metabolites production and additional genes for specific peptides and carbohydrates degradation potentially enhance its response to environmental change. Substrate preference is found for most MAGs across all lineages with the ability to utilize both polysaccharides (chitin and starch) and proteinaceous substances, whereas JdFR‐43 members from oil reservoirs can only utilize proteins. These results expand the diversity of C a . Thermoprofundales significantly and further improve our understandings of the adaptations of C a . Thermoprofundales to various environments.

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.

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.

Functionality‐based life cycle assessment framework: An information and communication technologies (ICT) product case study - Lin Shi; Katharine J. Mach; Sangwon Suh; Adam Brandt (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2022)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely applied to assessing the environmental impacts of information and communication technologies (ICT) products throughout their lifetime. Building upon LCA methodology, this study proposes a user‐oriented, functionality‐based LCA (FLCA) framework that evaluates the environmental impact of multifunctional ICT products such as smartphones. Incorporating the quality function deployment and LCA literature, we develop an approach that highlights the linkages among user behavior, product functionalities, and product environmental footprints. We use matrix algebra to outline a computational method and a streamlined process to operationalize such analysis. FLCA analyzes the impact of materials in the context of how they are used. To illustrate the concept with a simple example, our first case study calculates the manufacturing GHG emissions of a well‐known multifunctional product, a Swiss Army knife. In the second case study, we estimate the functionality‐based GHG emissions of a hypothetical smartphone. We consider various scopes of impact, including at the levels of device, infrastructure, and supply chains. Extending from LCA methods, FLCA moves away from a general understanding of functionality to a more granular perspective to accommodate the complexity in modern ICT products. Our study advances a user‐oriented perspective to understand product sustainability impacts. Additionally, it offers a method to provide empirical evidence of the “hidden” impacts of industrial products during consumption, enabling more precise linkage of the production‐consumption relationship through LCA toward better design to uncover and address users' needs.

Microcosmic Characteristics of Hydrate Formation and Decomposition in the Different Particle Size Sediments Captured by Cryo-SEM - Jingsheng Lu; Decai Lin; Dongliang Li; Deqing Liang; Long Wen; Siting Wu; Yiqun Zhang; Yong He; Lingli Shi; Youming Xiong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Sand production and sand control studies in non-diagenetic reservoirs are the weak point in the conventional petroleum industry. However, natural gas hydrate (NGH) mainly exists in non-diagenetic strata, and sand production occurs during exploitation, which restricts the safe and sustainable production of NGH. To study the microcosmic characteristics of sand production, the hydrate decomposition behaviours in the sediments were captured by the Cryo-SEM method. The micromorphology of different particle sizes of sand samples containing NGH (the sand median diameter d50 is 150, 87, 55, 38, 24, and 13 µm) and the microcosmic processes of NGH decomposition were observed. Then, the microcosmic characteristics of sand production, during the decomposition process, were analysed. (1) The gas hydrate decomposition increases pore space and reduces reservoir strength; the expansion action of the decomposition of water and gas, the softening action of the decomposition of water, and the compression action by overlying stress (crustal stress) promoted sand production, deformation, and subsidence of the NGH reservoirs in the mining process. (2) The decomposition of NGH has a more significant impact on sediments with smaller particle sizes. (3) The particle size of NGH may be larger than the particle size of the mud in the reservoirs, and acting as “gravel” plays a particular role in sand control. Therefore, the particle size of NGH cannot be ignored in the design of sand control. (4) It has been revealed, and verified, that sputtering (splashing) is a unique process of sand production caused by NGH decomposition. In other words, the rapid expansion of the volume of the decomposed gas and water from NGH leads to the eruption and sputtering of hydrate particles, providing the driving force for sand migration, which is a different process of sand production than in conventional oil and gas.

Potential Application of Biosurfactant-Producing Bacteria for Bioremediation of Oil Polluted Marine Intertidal Sediments - Ping Guo; Wei-Wei Xu; Dan-Na Wei; Man-Xia Zhang; Jin Zhang; Shi Tang; Bin-Xia Cao; Jian-Guo Lin; Wei Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The removal of oil contaminants in marine intertidal sediments under cold climate is an urgent issue. Although the bioavailability of petroleum hydrocarbons decreases at low temperatures, biosurfactants can promote oil biodegradation. In this study, characteristics of biosurfactants produced by cold-adapted oil-degrading bacteria Planococcus sp. XW-1 were studied. Adding the XW-1 biosurfactant could effectively facilitate the solubility of phenanthrene, pyrene, diesel oil, and crude oil. The solubilization was limited by the number of rings and the molecular weight (WSRphenanthrene = 0.0234; WSRpyrene = 0.0165; WSRdiesel oil = 0.0027; WSRcrude oil = 0.0015). Additional biosurfactants significantly washed out crude oil adsorbed to the sand (reduction from 17.1%, 22.7% to 87.9% and 94.28% in 24 h). With the increase in particle size, the removal efficiency increased from 87.9% to 94.28%. After the addition of biosurfactant, the effect of degradation increased by 20% in 20 days. The results suggest that the biosurfactant-producing bacteria Planococcus sp. XW-1 is a promising candidate used in the in situ bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated intertidal sediment.

Massive Heat Shock Protein 70 Genes Expansion and Transcriptional Signatures Uncover Hard Clam Adaptations to Heat and Hypoxia - Zhi Hu; Hao Song; Jie Feng; Cong Zhou; Mei-Jie Yang; Pu Shi; Zheng-Lin Yu; Yong-Ren Li; Yong-Jun Guo; Hai-Zhou Li; Tao Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) members participate in a wide range of housekeeping and stress-related activities in eukaryotic cells. In marine ecosystems, bivalves encounter abiotic stresses, including high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen. Here, 133 MmHSP70 genes were identified through combined methods including Blastp, HMM and manual filtration, based on the whole Mercenaria mercenaria genome. The MmHSP70 genes were unevenly distributed, and 41 genes (33.08%) were located on Chr 7. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the MmHSP70 gene family mainly consisted of two clusters and the Hspa12 subfamily underwent lineage-specific expansion. A high-density collinear gene block was observed between M. mercenaria Chr 7 and Cyclina sinensis Chr 14. Tandem duplication MmHSP70 gene pairs experienced different levels of purifying selection, which could be an important source of sequence and functional constraints. MmHSP70 genes showed tissue-specific and stress-specific expression. Most tandem duplication HSP70 gene pairs had high expression under hypoxia stress. HSP70 B2 tandem duplication gene pairs showed significantly increased expression under heat plus severe hypoxia stress. This study provided a comprehensive understanding of the MmHSP70 gene family in the M. mercenaria and laid a significant foundation for further studies on the functional characteristics of MmHSP70 genes during exposure to heat and hypoxia stress.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

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.

Dissecting the Neural Circuitry for Pain Modulation and Chronic Pain: Insights from Optogenetics - Fang Guo; Yu Du; Feng-Hui Qu; Shi-Da Lin; Zhong Chen; Shi-Hong Zhang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage. The processing of pain involves complicated modulation at the levels of the periphery, spinal cord, and brain. The pathogenesis of chronic pain is still not fully understood, which makes the clinical treatment challenging. Optogenetics, which combines optical and genetic technologies, can precisely intervene in the activity of specific groups of neurons and elements of the related circuits. Taking advantage of optogenetics, researchers have achieved a body of new findings that shed light on the cellular and circuit mechanisms of pain transmission, pain modulation, and chronic pain both in the periphery and the central nervous system. In this review, we summarize recent findings in pain research using optogenetic approaches and discuss their significance in understanding the pathogenesis of chronic pain.

The management of bone defect using long non-coding RNA as a potential biomarker for regulating the osteogenic differentiation process - Jia-lin Liu; Yan-shi Liu; Mei-jie Zheng; Hui-yu He (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Tissue engineered bone brings hope to the treatment of bone defects, and the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is the key link. Inducing osteogenic differentiation of stem cells may be a potential approach to promote bone regeneration. In recent years, lncRNA has been studied in the field increasingly, which is believed can regulate cell cycle, proliferation, metastasis, differentiation and immunity, participating in a variety of physiology and pathology processes. At present, it has been confirmed that certain lncRNAs regulate the osteogenesis of stem cells and take part in mediating signaling pathways including Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK, TGF-β/BMP, and Notch pathways. Here, we provided an overview of lncRNA, reviewed its researches in the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, emphasized the importance of lncRNA in bone regeneration, and focused on the roles of lncRNA in signaling pathways, in order to make adequate preparations for applying lncRNA to bone tissue Engineering, letting it regulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells for bone regeneration.

Autophagy plays a double-edged sword role in liver diseases - Jing-chao Zhou; Jing-lin Wang; Hao-zhen Ren; Xiao-lei Shi (Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 2022)
As a highly evolutionarily conserved process, autophagy can be found in all types of eukaryotic cells. Such a constitutive process maintains cellular homeostasis in a wide variety of cell types through the encapsulation of damaged proteins or organelles into double-membrane vesicles. Autophagy not only simply eliminates materials but also serves as a dynamic recycling system that produces new building blocks and energy for cellular renovation and homeostasis. Previous studies have primarily recognized the role of autophagy in the degradation of dysfunctional proteins and unwanted organelles. However, there are findings of autophagy in physiological and pathological processes. In hepatocytes, autophagy is not only essential for homeostatic functions but also implicated in some diseases, such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and hepatic failure. In the present review, we summarized the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and its role in several liver diseases and put forward several new strategies for the treatment of liver disease.

Experimental and Numerical Study of the Discharge Performance of Particle-Laden Turbulent Flow - Hongbo Shi; Xikun Wang; Qingjiang Xiang; Gonghe Zhang; Lin Xue (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In the marine fire suppression system, continuous delivery of dry chemical powder to the fire source with long powder discharge range and high dispersion concentration is essential. The work is devoted to experimental and numerical studies of the flow characteristics of the dry chemical powder jet from a horizontal injector with a wide range of Stokes numbers between 6 to 30 and Reynolds numbers between 4792 to 23,960 by considering the effect of gravitational acceleration. A CFD-based Eulerian–Eulerian multiphase model combined with Standard k-ω turbulence model was used to predict flow characteristics of particle-laden jet using dimensionless numbers, including the solid volume fraction, the normalized velocity magnitude, and the turbulent viscosity ratio. Experimental studies have been carried out for three different inflow velocities (2.06, 2.45, and 2.81 m/s). The results indicate that the particle density plays a significant role in the dispersion of the particles in the radial and axial directions. The transition from U-shaped to V-shaped solid dispersion structure on the ground can be captured with the increase of particle density. Moreover, the higher level turbulence intensity enhances the solid dispersion concentration. Finally, it was found that the Portland cement powder exhibits better discharge performance in terms of solid discharge range and dispersion concentration in comparison with other dry powders. These results have implications in the design of powder-based fire suppression system. Further studies should aim to the in-depth research on the fire extinguishing mechanism of the Portland cement powder, especially the fire suppression effectiveness and thermal decomposition process.

Mussel Byssal Attachment Weakened by Anthropogenic Noise - Xinguo Zhao; Shuge Sun; Wei Shi; Xuemei Sun; Yan Zhang; Lin Zhu; Qi Sui; Bin Xia; Keming Qu; Bijuan Chen; Guangxu Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The increasing underwater noise generated by anthropogenic activities has been widely recognized as a significant and pervasive pollution in the marine environment. Marine mussels are a family of sessile bivalves that attach to solid surfaces via the byssal threads. They are widely distributed along worldwide coastal areas and are of great ecological and socio-economic importance. Studies found that anthropogenic noise negatively affected many biological processes and/or functions of marine organisms. However, to date, the potential impacts of anthropogenic noise on mussel byssal attachment remain unknown. Here, the thick shell mussels Mytilus coruscus were exposed to an ambient underwater condition (∼50 dB re 1 μPa) or the playbacks of pile-driving noise (∼70 or ∼100 dB re 1 μPa) for 10 days. Results showed that the noise significantly reduced the secretion of byssal threads (e.g., diameter and volume) and weakened their mechanical performances (e.g., strength, extensibility, breaking stress, toughness and failure location), leading to a 16.95–44.50% decrease in mussel byssal attachment strength. The noise also significantly down-regulated the genes expressions of seven structural proteins (e.g., mfp-1, mfp-2, mfp-3, mfp-6, preCOL-P, preCOL-NG, and preCOL-D) of byssal threads, probably mediating the weakened byssal attachment. Given the essential functions of strong byssal attachment, the findings demonstrate that the increasing underwater anthropogenic noise are posing a great threat to mussel population, mussel-bed community and mussel aquaculture industry. We thus suggest that future work is required to deepen our understanding of the impacts of anthropogenic noise on marine invertebrates, especially these with limited locomotion ability, like bivalves.

Roles of Crustacean Female Sex Hormone 1a in a Protandric Simultaneous Hermaphrodite Shrimp - Fang Liu; Wenyuan Shi; Lin Huang; Guizhong Wang; Zhihuang Zhu; Haihui Ye (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Crustacean female sex hormone (CFSH) plays a pivotal role in the development of secondary sex characteristics in dioecious crustaceans. However, until now the knowledge concerning its functions in hermaphroditic species is scanty. Herein, we explored the function of CFSH ( Lvit-CFSH1a ) in the peppermint shrimp Lysmata vittata , a species characterized by a rare reproductive system of protandric simultaneous hermaphroditism (PSH). Lvit-CFSH1a cDNA was 1,220-bp in length with a 720-bp ORF encoded a polypeptide of 239-aa. RT-PCR showed that Lvit-CFSH1a was exclusively expressed in the eyestalk ganglion. For female physiology, it was found that Lvit- CFSH1a was indispensable for the development of female gonopores, but it might not involve vitellogenesis of the species. For male physiology, Lvit- CFSH1a suppressed Lvit-IAG2 expression in short-term silencing experiment and recombinant protein injection experiment, but did not affect male sexual differentiation in long-term silencing experiment. In addition, silencing the Lvit-CFSH1a gene impeded individual growth in L. vittata.
