Knockdown of Arginyl-tRNA Synthetase Attenuates Ischemia-Induced Cerebral Cortex Injury in Rats After Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion - Yang Liu; Xue-Bin Hu; Li-Zhi Zhang; Zi Wang; Rong Fu (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Some researchers have previously shown that RNAi knockdown of arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) before or after a hypoxic injury can rescue animals from death, based on the model organism, C. elegans . However, there has been no study on the application of arginyl-tRNA synthetase knockdown in treating mammalian ischemic stroke, and its potential mechanism and effect on ischemic brain damage are still unknown. Here, we focused on the Rars gene, which encodes an arginyl-tRNA synthetase, and examined the effects of Rars knockdown in a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion model in rats. To achieve this aim, adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were given right cerebral cortex injections of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) adenovirus (AV) particles to knock down arginyl-tRNA synthetase, and a non-targeting control (NTC) vector or phosphate-buffered solution served as the controls. After 4 days, the rats were exposed to permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO). Then, the right cerebral cortex level of arginyl-tRNA synthetase was examined, and the effects of the Rars knockdown were evaluated by differences in infarction volume, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier, mitochondrial function, and glucose metabolism at 1 day and 3 days after MCAO. The injection of shRNA adenovirus particles successfully suppressed the expression of arginyl-tRNA synthetase in the cerebral cortex. We observed an improvement in oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and glucose utilization and a reduction in brain edema compared with the non-targeting control rats with suppressed expression of arginyl-tRNA synthetase mRNA in the ipsilateral ischemic cortex of the brain. Our findings indicate that knockdown of arginyl-tRNA synthetase in the cerebral cortex exerted neuroprotective effects, which were achieved not only by the improvement of oxidative stress and glucose utilization but also by the maintenance of mitochondrial morphological integrity and the preservation of mitochondrial function. Knockdown of ArgRS administration could be a promising approach to protect ischemic stroke.

Systematic identification and characterization of circular RNAs involved in flag leaf senescence of rice - Xiaoping Huang; Hongyu Zhang; Rong Guo; Qiang Wang; Xuanzhi Liu; Weigang Kuang; Haiyan Song; Jianglin Liao; Yingjin Huang; Zhaohai Wang (Planta, 2021)
Main conclusion Circular RNAs (circRNAs) identification, expression profiles, and construction of circRNA-parental gene relationships and circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA networks indicate that circRNAs are involved in flag leaf senescence of rice. Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of 3′-5′ head-to-tail covalently closed non-coding RNAs which have been proved to play important roles in various biological processes. However, no systematic identification of circRNAs associated with leaf senescence in rice has been studied. In this study, a genome-wide high-throughput sequencing analysis was performed using rice flag leaves developing from normal to senescence. Here, a total of 6612 circRNAs were identified, among which, 113 circRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) during the leaf senescence process. Moreover, 4601 (69.59%) circRNAs were derived from the exons or introns of their parental genes, while 2110 (71%) of the parental genes produced only one circRNA. The sequence alignment analysis showed that hundreds of rice circRNAs were conserved among different plant species. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed that parental genes of DE circRNAs were enriched in many biological processes closely related to leaf senescence. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), six continuously down-expressed circRNAs, 18 continuously up-expressed circRNAs and 15 turn-point high-expressed circRNAs were considered to be highly associated with leaf senescence. Additionally, a total of 17 senescence-associated circRNAs were predicted to have parental genes, in which, regulations of three circRNAs to their parental genes were validated by qRT-PCR. The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were also constructed. And a total of 11 senescence-associated circRNAs were predicted to act as miRNA sponges to regulate mRNAs, in which, regulation of two circRNAs to eight mRNAs was validated by qRT-PCR. It is discussed that senescence-associated circRNAs were involved in flag leaf senescence probably through mediating their parental genes and ceRNA networks, to participate in several well-studied senescence-associated processes, mainly including the processes of transcription, translation, and posttranslational modification (especially protein glycosylation), oxidation–reduction process, involvement of senescence-associated genes, hormone signaling pathway, proteolysis, and DNA damage repair. This study not only showed the systematic identification of circRNAs involved in leaf senescence of rice, but also laid a foundation for functional research on candidate circRNAs.

A teleconnection between sea surface temperature in the central and eastern Pacific and wintertime haze variations in southern China - Xugeng Cheng; Jane Liu; Tianliang Zhao; Sunling Gong; Xiangde Xu; Xiaoning Xie; Rong Wang (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2021)
Haze pollution in recent decades varies largely with both pollutant emissions and meteorological conditions. Using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method, we separate these two influences on haze variations in southern China in the time series of haze observations from 1981 to 2011. This helps us to identify the meteorological influence on interannual variation in haze occurrences in southern China and thus observe a teleconnection between the thermal forcing of sea surface temperature (SST) in the central and eastern Pacific and wintertime haze occurrences in southern China ( R = − 0.51, p < 0.05). The total haze days in winter is highest among all seasons over southern China and the climotological mean of number of winter haze days is 7.5 days for the region. Compared with the normal winters, the regional mean of the number of haze days in southern China is reduced by ~ 5 days in the winters with above-normal Niño3.4 SST (during El Niño phases), but increased by ~ 4 days in the winters with below-normal Niño3.4 SST (during La Niña phases). In the warm SST winters, the cumulative consequences of strong winds, more precipitation, and a more unstable atmosphere with an “upper colder and lower warmer” vertical pattern leading to more ascendance can all hinder haze formation, whereas in the cold SST winters, opposite meteorological conditions are favorable to haze formation. These meteorological conditions induced by anomalous SST make wintertime haze pollution in southern China vary from year to year to a large extent. This study suggests a strong sensitivity of winter haze occurrences in southern China to the viability of the SST in the central and eastern Pacific.

Red elemental selenium (Se 0 ) improves the immunoactivities of EPC cells, crucian carp and zebrafish against spring viraemia of carp virus - Jinbao Tian; Yong Zhang; Rong Zhu; Yeqing Wu; Xiaoxiao Liu; Xingguo Wang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2021)
Selenium, as an essential trace element, interferes through selenoproteins in many physiological processes of plants and mammals. Its antiviral activity has recently attracted much attention because selenium improves the antiviral capacity of animal cells against a few viruses relevant to human diseases. In this study, the red elemental selenium was purified from the fermentative culture of Herbaspirillum camelliae WT00C and then used to culture epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells or feed crucian carp and zebrafish. Finally, its antiviral effects were investigated at the cell level and living fishes after spring viraemia of carp virus infection. At the cell level, 5, 10 and 20 μg ml –1 red elemental selenium significantly induced the expression of interferon ( IFN ) and ISG 15 genes in EPC cells. The viral TCID 50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) values in the EPC cells incubated with 5, 10 and 20 μg ml –1 red elemental selenium were significantly less than those of the control. More expression of IFN and ISG 15 genes and less TCID 50 values indicate that red elemental selenium indeed improves the antiviral capability of EPC cells. In the crucian carp fed with the food containing 5 and 10 μg g –1 red elemental selenium, IFN expressions showed 13‐ and 39‐fold increases at the 16th day of post‐injection, and its expression was dependent on selenium concentrations. Meanwhile, no fish death occurred in all the experimental groups. In the zebrafish fed with the red worm containing 5 μg g –1 red elemental selenium, IFN and Mx expressions and survival rate were significantly higher than those of the control. The results of this study show that red elemental selenium indeed improves the antiviral activity of fish. The antiviral effects of selenium mainly come from its immune regulation through its incorporation into selenoproteins. The optimum level of selenium contributes to improving fish immunity, whereas excess selenium causes excessive immune and inflammatory responses.

The Joubert Syndrome Gene arl13b is Critical for Early Cerebellar Development in Zebrafish - Jian Zhu; Han-Tsing Wang; Yu-Rong Chen; Ling-Ya Yan; Ying-Ying Han; Ling-Yan Liu; Ying Cao; Zhi-Zhi Liu; Hong A. Xu (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2020)
Joubert syndrome is characterized by unique malformation of the cerebellar vermis. More than thirty Joubert syndrome genes have been identified, including ARL13B . However, its role in cerebellar development remains unexplored. We found that knockdown or knockout of arl13b impaired balance and locomotion in zebrafish larvae. Granule cells were selectively reduced in the corpus cerebelli, a structure homologous to the mammalian vermis. Purkinje cell progenitors were also selectively disturbed dorsomedially. The expression of atoh1 and ptf1 , proneural genes of granule and Purkinje cells, respectively, were selectively down-regulated along the dorsal midline of the cerebellum. Moreover, wnt1 , which is transiently expressed early in cerebellar development, was selectively reduced. Intriguingly, activating Wnt signaling partially rescued the granule cell defects in arl13b mutants. These findings suggested that Arl13b is necessary for the early development of cerebellar granule and Purkinje cells. The arl13b -deficient zebrafish can serve as a model organism for studying Joubert syndrome.

Influence of mature El Niño‐Southern Oscillation phase on seasonal precipitation and streamflow in the Yangtze River Basin, China - Jia Wei; Weiguang Wang; Quanxi Shao; Yanshu Rong; Wanqiu Xing; Catherine Liu (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
As one of the most influential oceanic and atmospheric oscillations in the Earth system, El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has modulated numerous geophysical processes. This is particularly true for the Yangtze River Basin (YRB), which is vulnerable to Asian Monsoon and faces serious hydrological hazards. In this study, the co‐variability between lag–lead precipitation and sea surface temperature anomalies was evaluated utilizing singular value decomposition (SVD) method. Moreover, certain teleconnections between ENSO and streamflow were identified by wavelet methods. In addition, the contribution of related atmospheric variables was revealed by composite analysis. Results indicate that there are strong associations in lag–lead seasons between the wet condition (dry condition) and September–November (December–February) mature ENSO phase. Significant common power and coherence signals between the ENSO indices and the streamflow occur in the 4–8, 8–16 and 16–32 seasonal scales. Meanwhile, the activity cycle of the ENSO indices ahead of streamflow increases from the mid‐lower reaches to the source region. In addition, the Western Pacific Subtropical High is strengthened during the mature ENSO phase. Anomalous sinking motions and divergent water vapour flux occupy the YRB, reducing the precipitation and leading to the dry condition in the source region until the following March–May. On the other hand, ascending movements and abundant water vapour flux coming from northern Pacific, equatorial western Pacific and the Bay of Bengal result in the wet condition in the mid‐lower reaches.

Sky islands as foci for divergence of fig trees and their pollinators in southwest China - Jun‐Yin Deng; Rong‐Hua Fu; Stephen G. Compton; Mei Liu; Qin Wang; Chuan Yuan; Lu‐Shui Zhang; Yan Chen (Molecular Ecology, 2020)
The dynamics of populations and their divergence over time have shaped current levels of biodiversity and in the case of the “sky islands” of mountainous southwest (SW) China have resulted in an area of exceptional botanical diversity. Ficus tikoua is a prostrate fig tree subendemic to the area that displays unique intraspecific diversity, producing figs typical of different pollination modes in different parts of its range. By combining climate models, genetic variation in populations of the tree's obligate fig wasp pollinators and distributions of the different plant phenotypes, we examined how this unusual situation may have developed. We identified three genetically distinct groups of a single Ceratosolen pollinator species that have largely parapatric distributions. The complex topography of the region contributed to genetic divergence among the pollinators by facilitating geographical isolation and providing refugia. Migration along elevations in response to climate oscillations further enhanced genetic differentiation of the three pollinator groups. Their distributions loosely correspond to the distributions of the functionally significant morphological differences in the male figs of their host plants, but postglacial expansion of one group has not been matched by spread of its associated plant phenotype, possibly due to a major river barrier. The results highlight how interplay between the complex topography of the “sky island” complex and climate change has shaped intraspecies differentiation and relationships between the plant and its pollinator. Similar processes may explain the exceptional botanical diversity of SW China.

Interaction Between Planetary Boundary Layer and PM2.5 Pollution in Megacities in China: a Review - Yucong Miao; Jing Li; Shiguang Miao; Huizheng Che; Yaqiang Wang; Xiaoye Zhang; Rong Zhu; Shuhua Liu (Current Pollution Reports, 2019)
Purpose of Review During the past decades, the number and size of megacities have been growing dramatically in China. Most of Chinese megacities are suffering from heavy PM 2.5 pollution. In the pollution formation, the planetary boundary layer (PBL) plays an important role. This review is aimed at presenting the current state of understanding of the PBL-PM 2.5 interaction in megacities, as well as to identify the main gaps in current knowledge and further research needs. Recent Findings The PBL is critical to the formation of urban PM 2.5 pollution at multiple temporal scales, ranging from diurnal change to seasonal variation. For the essential PBL structure/process in pollution, the coastal megacities have different concerns from the mountainous or land-locked megacities. In the coastal cities, the recirculation induced by sea-land breeze can accumulate pollutants, whereas in the valley/basin, the blocking effects of terrains can lead to stagnant conditions and thermal inversion. Within a megacity, although the urbanization-induced land use change can cause thermodynamic perturbations and facilitate the development of PBL, the increases in emissions outweigh this impact, resulting in a net increase of aerosol concentration. Moreover, the aerosol radiative effects can modify the PBL by heating the upper layers and reducing the surface heat flux, suppressing the PBL and exacerbating the pollution. Summary This review presented the PBL-PM 2.5 interaction in 13 Chinese megacities with various geographic conditions and elucidated the critical influencing processes. To further understand the complicated interactions, long-term observations of meteorology and aerosol properties with multi-layers in the PBL need to be implemented.

Summary Autophagy is important for growth, development and pathogenesis in fungi. Although autophagic process is generally considered to be conserved, the conservation and evolution of ATG genes at kingdom‐wide remains to be conducted. Here we systematically identified 41 known ATG genes in 331 species and analyzed their distribution across the fungal kingdom. In general, only 20 ATG genes are highly conserved, including most but not all the yeast core‐autophagy‐machinery genes. Four functional protein groups involved in autophagosome formation had conserved and non‐conserved components, suggesting plasticity in autophagosome formation in fungi. All or majority of the key ATG genes were lost in several fungal groups with unique lifestyles and niches, such as Microsporidia, Pneumocystis and Malassezia . Moreover, majority of ATG genes had A‐to‐I RNA editing during sexual reproduction in two ascomycetes and deletion of FgATG11 , the ATG gene with the most editing sites in Fusarium affected ascospore releasing. Duplication and divergence also was observed to several core ATG genes, such as highly divergent ATG8 paralogs in dermatophytes and multiple ATG15 duplications in mushrooms. Taken together, independent losses and duplications of ATG genes have occurred throughout the fungal kingdom and variations in autophagy exist among different lineages and possibly different developmental stages.

Late spring soil moisture variation over the Tibetan Plateau and its influences on the plateau summer monsoon - Juan Zhou; Jun Wen; Rong Liu; Xin Wang; Yan Xie (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Based on the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) ERA‐Interim reanalysis data from 1979 to 2016, an index for Tibetan Plateau (TP) soil moisture ( I TPSM ), which could represent inter‐annual variation in spring soil moisture, is defined after removing the linear trend in soil moisture. The late spring soil moisture variation over the TP and its influences on the plateau summer monsoon are analysed. The results show that the TP soil moisture variation is non‐uniform, and spring soil moisture over the northeastern TP shows an increasing trend, while the western TP (especially the peripheral area) renders a significantly decreasing trend. When the I TPSM shows positive (negative) anomalies (i.e., spring soil moisture over the northeastern TP is higher (lower), soil moisture over the western TP is lower (higher) than normal), the plateau summer monsoon may be stronger (weaker). Anomalous variations in spring TP soil moisture can eventually affect the plateau summer monsoon by changing atmospheric circulation, diabatic heating, and water vapour transportation. It is found that when the I TPSM exhibits positive anomalies, diabatic heating over the centre and eastern TP is remarkably enhanced, and warm and humid moisture from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea and cold air from high latitudes merge over the central and eastern TP; coupled with lower‐level convergence and upper‐level divergence, all these contribute to an increase in plateau summer monsoonal precipitation. When the I TPSM shows negative anomalies, diabatic heating over the centre and eastern TP is weakened, the anomalous cyclone to the south of the TP hinders warm and humid air flows transportation to the TP, and the anomalous anticyclone to the southeast of Lake Baikal weakens cold air to the south; coupled with weakened convergence and upwards motion, these factors all lead to a decrease in plateau summer monsoonal precipitation.

Diversity of herbaceous plants and bacterial communities regulates soil resistome across forest biomes - Hang‐Wei Hu; Jun‐Tao Wang; Brajesh K. Singh; Yu‐Rong Liu; Yong‐Liang Chen; Yu‐Jing Zhang; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Antibiotic resistance is ancient and prevalent in natural ecosystems and evolved long before the utilization of synthetic antibiotics started, but factors influencing the large‐scale distribution patterns of natural antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) remain largely unknown. Here, a large‐scale investigation over 4000 km was performed to profile soil ARGs, plant communities and bacterial communities from 300 quadrats across five forest biomes with minimal human impact. We detected diverse and abundant ARGs in forests, including over 160 genes conferring resistance to eight major categories of antibiotics. The diversity of ARGs was strongly and positively correlated with the diversity of bacteria, herbaceous plants and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). The ARG composition was strongly correlated with the taxonomic structure of bacteria and herbs. Consistent with this strong correlation, structural equation modelling demonstrated that the positive effects of bacterial and herb communities on ARG patterns were maintained even when simultaneously accounting for multiple drivers (climate, spatial predictors and edaphic factors). These findings suggest a paradigm that the interactions between aboveground and belowground communities shape the large‐scale distribution of soil resistomes, providing new knowledge for tackling the emerging environmental antibiotic resistance.

TRI6 and TRI10 play different roles in the regulation of deoxynivalenol (DON) production by cAMP signalling in Fusarium graminearum - Cong Jiang; Chengkang Zhang; Chunlan Wu; Panpan Sun; Rui Hou; Huiquan Liu; Chenfang Wang; Jin‐Rong Xu (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary The biosynthesis of mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) in Fusarium graminearum is regulated by two pathway‐specific transcription factors Tri6 and Tri10 and affected by various host and environmental factors. In this study, we showed that cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) treatment induced DON production by stimulating TRI gene expression and DON‐associated cellular differentiation in F. graminearum . Interestingly, exogenous cAMP had no effects on the tri6 mutant but partially recovered the defect of tri10 mutant in DON biosynthesis. Although the two cAMP phosphodiesterase genes PDE1 and PDE2 had overlapping functions in vegetative growth, conidiation, sexual reproduction and plant infection, deletion of PDE2 but not PDE1 activated intracellular PKA activities and increased DON production. Whereas the tri6 pde2 mutant failed to produce DON, the tri10 pde2 double mutant produced a significantly higher level of DON than the tri10 mutant. Cellular differentiation associated with DON production was stimulated by exogenous cAMP or deletion of PDE2 in both tri10 and tri6 mutants. These data indicate that TRI6 is essential for the regulation of DON biosynthesis by cAMP signalling but elevated PKA activities could partially bypass the requirement of TRI10 for TRI gene‐expression and DON production, and Pde2 is the major cAMP phosphodiesterase to negatively regulate DON biosynthesis in F. graminearum .

The MADS ‐box transcription factor FgMcm1 regulates cell identity and fungal development in F usarium graminearum - Cui Yang; Huiquan Liu; Guotian Li; Meigang Liu; Yingzi Yun; Chenfang Wang; Zhonghua Ma; Jin‐Rong Xu (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary In eukaryotic cells, MADS ‐box genes are known to play major regulatory roles in various biological processes by combinatorial interactions with other transcription factors. In this study, we functionally characterized the FgMCM1 MADS ‐box gene in F usarium graminearum , the causal agent of wheat and barley head blight. Deletion of FgMCM1 resulted in the loss of perithecium production and phialide formation. The F gmcm1 mutant was significantly reduced in virulence, deoxynivalenol biosynthesis and conidiation. In yeast two‐hybrid assays, FgMcm1 interacted with M at1‐1‐1 and F st12, two transcription factors important for sexual reproduction. Whereas F gmcm1 mutants were unstable and produced stunted subcultures, F gmcm1 mat1‐1‐1 but not F gmcm1 fst12 double mutants were stable. Furthermore, spontaneous suppressor mutations occurred frequently in stunted subcultures to recover growth rate. Ribonucleic acid sequencing analysis indicated that a number of sexual reproduction‐related genes were upregulated in stunted subcultures compared with the F gmcm1 mutant, which was downregulated in the expression of genes involved in pathogenesis, secondary metabolism and conidiation. We also showed that culture instability was not observed in the F vmcm1 mutants of the heterothallic F usarium verticillioides . Overall, our data indicate that FgMcm1 plays a critical role in the regulation of cell identity, sexual and asexual reproduction, secondary metabolism and pathogenesis in F . graminearum .
