Correlation between matrix metalloproteinase-2, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 and white matter hyperintensities in patients with cerebral small vessel disease based on cranial magnetic resonance 3D imaging.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) levels and their ratios with the severity of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). METHODS: This cross-sectional study was done on a prospective cohort of patients with CSVD. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of WMHs were performed using Fazekas grading and lesion prediction algorithm (LPA) methods. Biomarkers MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 were measured to explore their correlation with the severity of WMHs. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 144 patients with CSVD. There were 63 male and 81 female patients, with an average age of 67.604 ±â€¯8.727 years. Among these, 58.33% presented with white matter hyperintensities at Fazekas grading level 1, with an average total template volume of WMHs of 4.305 mL. MMP-2 (P = 0.025), MMP-9 (P = 0.008), TIMP-1 (P = 0.026), and age (P = 0.007) were identified as independent correlates of WMHs based on Fazekas grading. Independent correlates of the total template volume of WMHs included MMP-2 (P = 0.023), TIMP-1 (P = 0.046), age (P = 0.047), systolic blood pressure (P = 0.047), and homocysteine (Hcy) (P = 0.014). In addition, age (P = 0.003; P < 0.001), interleukin-6 (IL-6) (P < 0.001; P = 0.044), Hcy (P < 0.001; P < 0.001), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (P = 0.016; P = 0.043), and chronic kidney disease (P < 0.001; P < 0.001) were associated with both WMHs Fazekas grading and the total template volume of WMHs. CONCLUSION: Serum levels of MMP-9, MMP-2, and TIMP-1 were independently associated with the Fazekas grading, while serum TIMP-1 and MMP-2 levels were independently related to the total template volume of WMHs. The association of TIMP-1 and MMP-2 with the severity of CSVD-related WMHs suggests their potential role as disease-related biomarkers. However, further research is required to uncover the specific mechanisms underlying these interactions.

Chlorantraniliprole Resistance in Spodoptera frugiperda: Resistance Monitoring, Resistance Risk, and Resistance Mechanisms.

Spodoptera frugiperda is a significant global pest, and chlorantraniliprole (CAP) is extensively used in China for its control. Understanding CAP resistance in S. frugiperda is crucial for effective management of this pest. Field populations exhibited varying degrees of resistance to CAP (RR = 1.74-5.60-fold). After 10 generations of selection, the CAP-resistant strain developed over 10-fold resistance, with a realized heritability (h2) of 0.10. Genetic analysis reveals inheritance patterns as autosomal, incomplete recessive, and monofactorial. The CAP-resistant strain showed limited cross-resistance to lufenuron and tetrachlorantraniliprole, negative cross-resistance to spinetoram, and no observed cross-resistance to other insecticides. Biochemical analysis suggested that P450-mediated detoxification is the primary resistance mechanism, with 26 genes overexpressed in the CAP-resistant strain. Additionally, the knockdown of CYP4L13, CYP6B39, CYP6B40, and CYP4G74 significantly increased the sensitivity of the resistant larvae to CAP. These findings highlight the resistance risk of CAP in S. frugiperda and emphasize the crucial role of P450 enzymes in resistance.

Treatment outcomes of endoscopic resection for nonampullary duodenal neuroendocrine tumors.

Background: The incidence rate of duodenal neuroendocrine tumors has been increasing in recent years. Endoscopic resection [ER; endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)] is recommended for nonampullary duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NAD-NETs) ≤10 mm in diameter that are confined to the submucosal layer and without lymph node or distant metastasis. However, the efficacy and safety of and indications for EMR/ESD remain unclear. Methods: Between November 2011 and April 2021, 12 NAD-NETs in 12 patients who underwent either EMR or ESD were analyzed retrospectively. The rates of en bloc resection, complete resection, pathologic complete resection, margin involvement, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, complications and prognosis were determined during follow-up (median observation period 53.0 months). Results: EMR was performed for two tumors, and ESD was performed for ten tumors. En bloc resection was performed for both tumors (100%) in the EMR group, and complete resection was achieved in one case (50%). Pathological complete resection was achieved in one case (50%), while in the ESD group, these three rates were 90% (9/10), 80% (8/10), and 80% (8/10), respectively. Intraoperative perforation occurred in one patient (10%) during ESD treatment, with no intraoperative or delayed bleeding in either group. Recurrence and distant metastasis were not observed during the mean follow-up period of 53.0 months (range, 18-131 months). Conclusions: For NAD-NETs that measure ≤10 mm in size, are confined to the submucosal layer and have neither suspicious lymph nodes nor distant metastasis, ER (EMR and ESD) may be a safe, effective, and feasible endoscopic technique for removing them.

Synchronized lineage tracing of cell membranes and nuclei by dual recombinases and dual fluorescent.

Genetic lineage tracing has been widely employed to investigate cell lineages and fate. However, conventional reporting systems often label the entire cytoplasm, making it challenging to discern cell boundaries. Additionally, single Cre-loxP recombination systems have limitations in tracing specific cell populations. This study proposes three reporting systems that utilize Cre, Dre and Dre + Cre mediated recombination. These systems incorporate tdTomato expression on the cell membrane and PhiYFP expression within the cell nucleus, allowing for clear observation of the cell nucleus and membrane. The efficacy of these systems is successfully demonstrated by labeling cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes. The potential for dynamic visualization of the cell membrane is showcased using intravital imaging microscopy or three-dimensional imaging. Furthermore, by combining this dual recombinase system with the ProTracer system, hepatocyte proliferation is traced with enhanced precision. This reporting system holds significant importance in advancing the understanding of cell fate studies in development, homeostasis, and diseases.

A putative endonuclease reduces the efficiency of oral RNA interference in Nilaparvata lugens.

BACKGROUND: The RNA interference (RNAi) efficiency of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) delivery to insects by various methods is different and the reduced efficacy of feeding dsRNA is partly due to the presence of DNA/RNA non-specific endonuclease in the insect gut. However, the mechanism leading to the low RNAi efficiency of Nilaparvata lugens by feeding remains elusive. RESULTS: In this study, we identified a putatively DNA/RNA non-specific endonuclease gene in the N. lugens genome database that was highly expressed in the first nymphal instar and the midgut. Different expression levels of NldsRNase after feeding and injection suggested that NldsRNase might interfere with oral RNAi in N. lugens. A co-delivery RNAi strategy further revealed that the presence of NldsRNase reduces RNAi efficiency. In vitro dsRNA degradation experiments also showed that the stability of dsRNA was higher in a gut mixture from nymphs injected with dsNldsRNase. These results support the idea that the low oral RNAi response observed in N. lugens is likely due to the presence of NldsRNase. CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides insight into the differences in RNAi response between the injection and feeding of dsRNA in N. lugens and sheds light on the mechanisms underlying the reduced efficacy of RNAi via feeding. These findings may help to inform the development of more-effective RNAi-based strategies controlling N. lugens and other insect pests. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

NtWIN1 regulates the biosynthesis of scopoletin and chlorogenic acid by targeting NtF6'H1 and NtCCoAMT genes in Nicotiana tabacum.

Scopoletin and chlorogenic acid (CGA) are important polyphenols that regulate plant growth, development, and stress resistance. The ERF transcription factor WAX INDUCER1 (WIN1) promotes the biosynthesis of cutin, suberine, and wax. However, its full roles in regulating the accumulation of plant secondary metabolites still remain to be further clarified. In this study, NtWIN1 gene encoding a SHINE-type AP2/ERF transcription factor of the Va subgroup was identified from N. tabacum. NtWIN1 showed high expression levels in tobacco stems, sepals, and pistils. Overexpression (OE) and knock-out of NtWIN1 showed that it promoted the accumulation of total polyphenols and altered their composition. Compare to that of WT plants, the CGA contents significantly increased by 25%-50% in the leaves, flowers, and capsules of OE lines, while the scopoletin contents in the OE plants significantly decreased by 30%-67%. In contrast, the CGA contents in ntwin1 lines reduced by 23%-26%, and the scopoletin contents in ntwin1 increased by 38%-75% compare to that of WT plants. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and Dual-Luc transcription activation assays showed that NtWIN1 could bind to the promoters of NtF6'H1 and NtCCoAMT, thereby modulating their expression. The scopoletin content in ntwin1/ntf6'h1 double mutant was significantly lower than that in ntwin1 and WT plants, but showed no significant differences with that in ntf6'h1 mutant, further indicating that the inhibition of NtWIN1 on scopoletin accumulation depends on the activity of NtF6'H1. Our study illustrates the new roles of NtWIN1, and provides a possible target for regulating the synthesis of polyphenols in tobacco.

Investigation of lambda-cyhalothrin resistance in Spodoptera frugiperda: Heritability, cross-resistance, and mechanisms.

Lambda-cyhalothrin, a representative pyrethroid insecticide widely used for Spodoptera frugiperda control in China, poses challenges due to the development of resistance. This study investigates the realized heritability, inheritance pattern, cross-resistance, and resistance mechanisms to lambda-cyhalothrin. After 21 generations of selection, the lambda-cyhalothrin-resistant strain (G21) developed a 171.11-fold resistance compared to a relatively susceptible strain (RS-G9), with a realized heritability (h2) of 0.11. Cross-resistance assays revealed that lambda-cyhalothrin-resistant strains showed no significant cross-resistance to the majority of tested insecticides. Genetic analysis indicated that lambda-cyhalothrin resistance in S. frugiperda was autosomal, incompletely dominant, and polygenic inheritance. The P450 enzyme inhibitor PBO significantly enhanced lambda-cyhalothrin toxicity in the resistant strains. Compared with the RS-G9 strain, the P450 enzyme activity was significantly increased and multiple P450 genes were significantly up-regulated in the lambda-cyhalothrin-resistant strains. RNAi targeting the most overexpressed P450 genes (CYP337B5 and CYP321B1) significantly increased the susceptibility of resistant S. frugiperda larvae to lambda-cyhalothrin. This study provides comprehensive insights into lambda-cyhalothrin resistance in S. frugiperda, and the results are helpful for developing effective resistance management strategies of this pest.

Smart and Sustainable Crop Protection: Design and Evaluation of a Novel α-Amylase-Responsive Nanopesticide for Effective Pest Control.

In this study, an α-amylase-responsive controlled-release formulation was developed by capping polydopamine onto ß-cyclodextrin-modified abamectin-loaded hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles. The prepared Aba@HMS@CD@PDA were subjected to characterization using various analytical techniques. The findings revealed that Aba@HMS@CD@PDA, featuring a loading rate of 18.8 wt %, displayed noteworthy release behavior of abamectin in the presence of α-amylase. In comparison to abamectin EC, Aba@HMS@CD@PDA displayed a significantly foliar affinity and improved rainfastness on lotus leaves. The results of field trail demonstrated a significantly higher control efficacy against Spodoptera litura Fabricius compared to abamectin EC at all concentrations after 7, 14, and 21 days of spaying, showcasing the remarkable persistence of Aba@HMS@CD@PDA. These results underscore the potential of Aba@HMS@CD@PDA as a novel and persistently effective strategy for sustainable on-demand crop protection. The application of nanopesticides can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of pesticide utilization, contributing to more sustainable agricultural practices.

One-Component Cationic Lipids for Systemic mRNA Delivery to Splenic T Cells.

Unlocking the full potential of mRNA immunotherapy necessitates targeted delivery to specific cell subsets in the spleen. Four-component lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) utilized in numerous clinical trials are primarily limited in hepatocyte and muscular targeting, highlighting the imperative demand for targeted and simplified non-liver mRNA delivery systems. Herein, we report the rational design of one-component ionizable cationic lipids to selectively deliver mRNA to the spleen and T cells with high efficacy. Unlike the tertiary amine-based ionizable lipids involved in LNPs, the proposed cationic lipids rich in secondary amines can efficiently deliver mRNA both in vitro and in vivo as the standalone carriers. Furthermore, these vectors facilitate efficacious mRNA delivery to the T cell subsets following intravenous administration, demonstrating substantial potential for advancing immunotherapy applications. This straightforward strategy extends the utility of lipid family for extrahepatic mRNA delivery, offering new insights into vector development beyond LNPs to further the field of precise mRNA therapy.

Comparative transcriptomic evidence of physiological changes and potential relationships in vertebrates under different dormancy states.

Dormancy represents a fascinating adaptive strategy for organisms to survive in unforgiving environments. After a period of dormancy, organisms often exhibit exceptional resilience. This period is typically divided into hibernation and aestivation based on seasonal patterns. However, the mechanisms by which organisms adapt to their environments during dormancy, as well as the potential relationships between different states of dormancy, deserve further exploration. Here, we selected Perccottus glenii and Protopterus annectens as the primary subjects to study hibernation and aestivation, respectively. Based on histological and transcriptomic analysis of multiple organs, we discovered that dormancy involved a coordinated functional response across organs. Enrichment analyses revealed noteworthy disparities between the two dormant species in their responses to extreme temperatures. Notably, similarities in gene expression patterns pertaining to energy metabolism, neural activity, and biosynthesis were noted during hibernation, suggesting a potential correlation between hibernation and aestivation. To further explore the relationship between these two phenomena, we analyzed other dormancy-capable species using data from publicly available databases. This comparative analysis revealed that most orthologous genes involved in metabolism, cell proliferation, and neural function exhibited consistent expression patterns during dormancy, indicating that the observed similarity between hibernation and aestivation may be attributable to convergent evolution. In conclusion, this study enhances our comprehension of the dormancy phenomenon and offers new insights into the molecular mechanisms underpinning vertebrate dormancy.

Long-term outcomes of endoscopic or surgical resection in T1 colorectal cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: The personalized treatments of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) remains controversial. We compared the long-term outcomes of T1 CRC patients after endoscopic resection (ER) and surgery, and evaluated the risk factors for the long-term prognosis. METHODS: T1 CRCs after resection at the Cancer Hospital, Chines Academy of Medical Sciences from June 2011 to November 2021 were reviewed. High-risk factors included positive resection margin, poor differentiation, deep submucosal invasion (DSI ≥ 1000 µm), lymphovascular invasion and intermediate/high tumor budding. Comparative analyses were conducted based on three treatment methods: follow-up after ER (Group A), additional surgery after ER (Group B) and initial surgery (Group C). The primary endpoints included recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). Cox proportional hazard regression models were constructed to identify risk factors for RFS and OS. RESULTS: A total of 528 patients were enrolled (173 patients in Group A, 102 patients in Group B, 253 patients in Group C). The 3-year RFS, 5-year RFS, 3-year OS, and 5-year OS rates were 96.7%, 94.7%, 99.1%, and 97.8%, respectively. In the absence of other high-risk factors, RFS (P = 0.321) and OS (P = 0.155) of patients with DSI after ER were not inferior to those after surgery. Multivariate analyses identified sex (HR 0.379; 95% CI 0.160-0.894), Charlson comorbidities index (CCI) (HR 3.330; 95% CI 1.571-7.062), margin (HR 8.212; 95% CI 2.325-29.006), and budding (HR 3.794; 95% CI 1.686-8.541) as independent predictive factors of RFS, and identified CCI (HR 10.266; 95% CI 2.856-36.899) as an independent predictive factor of OS. CONCLUSION: The long-term outcomes of ER are comparable to those of surgery in T1 CRC patients with DSI when other high-risk factors are negative. Resection margin, tumor budding, sex, and CCI may be the most important long-term prognostic factors for T1 CRC patients.

A strategy combining endoscopic hand-suturing with clips for closure of rectal defects after endoscopic submucosal dissection with or without myectomy (with video).

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic hand-suturing (EHS) has been preliminarily demonstrated to be effective in closing defects after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), but it is not easily performed. We proposed a strategy combining EHS with clips (EHS-Clips) and explored its effectiveness in closing rectal defects after ESD or ESD with myectomy (ESD-ME). METHODS: In this observational study, data from patients with rectal defects closed using EHS-Clips were reviewed. EHS-Clips refers to a strategy where defects are sutured as much as possible by EHS first, with clips being used to close the remaining parts of defects that cannot be completely sutured. The primary endpoints included complete closure rate, delayed bleeding (DB) rate, and sustained closure rate. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for the sustained closure. RESULTS: All 49 (100%) defects (42 ESD defects and 7 ESD-ME defects) were completely closed through the strategy of EHS-Clips, with 35 (71.4%) through EHS alone and 14 (28.6%) through EHS and additional clips. No patients experienced DB. Thirty-six (73.5%) defects remained sustained closure on postoperative days 3 to 5 (73.8% for ESD defects vs 71.4% for ESD-ME defects). The multivariate analyses identified a stitch margin of ≥5 mm (hazard ratio, 0.313; 95% confidence interval, 0.023-0.781; P = .009) as the only independent advantage factor for the sustained closure. CONCLUSIONS: EHS-Clips can be used to effectively close the rectal defects after ESD or ESD-ME and prevent DB. Complete suture with a stitch margin of ≥5 mm may achieve more reliable sustained closure.

Their respective chemical structures, synthesis approaches, properties, advantages, and therapeutic applications are summarized and discussed. Furthermore, we highlight the challenges and future opportunities associated with the development of zwitterionic vector materials. This review will aid to understand the zwitterionic materials in aiding gene delivery, contributing to the continual progress of nucleic acid therapeutics.

Redox/Near-Infrared Dual-Responsive Hollow Mesoporous Organosilica Nanoparticles for Pesticide Smart Delivery.

Extremely inefficient utilization of pesticides has prompted a study of low-cost, sustainable, and smart application systems. Herein, as a promising pesticide nanocarrier, hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (HMONs) were first synthesized by using inexpensive CaCO3 nanoparticles as the hollow templates. A redox/near-infrared light dual-triggered pesticide release system was further achieved via loading avermectin (AVM) into the HMONs and coating a layer of polydopamine (PDA). The as-prepared AVM@HMONs@PDA displays a favorable pesticide load capability (24.8 wt %), outstanding photothermal performance, and high adhesion to leaves. In addition, with glutathione (GSH), the AVM cumulative release from AVM@HMONs@PDA was 3.5 times higher than that without GSH. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, the half-life of AVM@HMONs@PDA was prolonged by 17.0-fold compared to that of the AVM technical. At day 21 after treatment in the insecticidal activity, the median lethal concentrations (LC50) values displayed that the toxicity of AVM@HMONs@PDA for Panonychus citri (McGregor) was enhanced 4.0-fold compared with the commercial emulsifiable concentrate. In the field trial, at day 28 after spraying, AVM@HMONs@PDA was significantly more control effective than AVM-EC in controlling the P. citri (McGregor), even at a 50% reduced dosage. Moreover, HMONs@PDA was safe for crops. This research presents a novel preparation approach for HMONs, and it also offers a promising nanoplatform for the precise release of pesticides.

NtERF4 promotes the biosynthesis of chlorogenic acid and flavonoids by targeting PAL genes in Nicotiana tabacum.

Chlorogenic acid (CGA) and flavonoids are important secondary metabolites, which modulate plant growth and development, and contribute to plant resistance to various environmental stresses. ERF4 has been shown to be a repressor of anthocyanin accumulation in grape, but its full roles in regulating the biosynthesis of other phenylpropanoid compounds still needs to be further studied. In the present study, two NtERF4 genes were identified from N. tabacum genome. The expression level of NtERF4a was higher than that of NtERF4b in all the tobacco tissues examined. Over-expression of NtERF4a significantly promoted the accumulation of CGA and flavonoids in tobacco leaves, while silencing of NtERF4a significantly repressed the biosynthesis of CGA and flavonoids. RNA-seq analysis of NtERF4a-OE and WT plants revealed 8 phenylpropanoids-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 4 NtPAL genes that encode key enzymes in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Activation of NtERF4a-GR fusion protein in tobacco significantly induced the transcription of NtPAL1 and NtPAL2 in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitor. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and Dual-Luc assays further indicated that NtERF4a could bind to the GCC box presented in the promoters of NtPAL1 and NtPAL2, thereby activating their transcription. Moreover, ectopic expression of NtERF4a induced the transcription of NtGSK1, NtMYC2, and NtJAZ3 genes, and enhanced the resistance of tobacco seedlings to salt and drought stresses, indicating multiple roles of NtERF4a in plants. Our findings revealed new roles of NtERF4a in modulating the accumulation of phenylpropanoid compounds in tobacco, and provided a putative target for improving phenylpropanoids synthesis and stress resistance in plants.

Spatial-temporal proliferation of hepatocytes during pregnancy revealed by genetic lineage tracing.

The maternal liver undergoes dramatic enlargement to adapt to the increased metabolic demands during pregnancy. However, the cellular sources for liver growth during pregnancy remain largely elusive. Here, we employed a proliferation recording system, ProTracer, to examine the spatial-temporal proliferation of hepatocytes during pregnancy. We discovered that during early to late pregnancy, hepatocyte proliferation initiated from zone 1, to zone 2, and lastly to zone 3, with the majority of new hepatocytes being generated in zone 2. Additionally, using single-cell RNA sequencing, we observed that Ccnd1 was highly enriched in zone 2 hepatocytes. We further applied dual-recombinase-mediated genetic lineage tracing to reveal that Ccnd1+ hepatocytes expanded preferentially during pregnancy. Moreover, we demonstrated that estrogen induces liver enlargement during pregnancy, which was abolished in Ccnd1 knockout mice. Our work revealed a unique spatial-temporal hepatocyte proliferation pattern during pregnancy, with Ccnd1+ hepatocytes in zone 2 serving as the major cellular source for hepatic enlargement.

Metal-Organic Framework-Based Insecticide and dsRNA Codelivery System for Insecticide Resistance Management.

Targeted silencing of resistance-associated genes by specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is an attractive strategy for overcoming insecticide resistance in insect pests. However, silencing target genes of insect pests by feeding on dsRNA transported via plants remains challenging. Herein, a codelivery system of insecticide and dsRNA is designed by encapsulating imidacloprid and dsNlCYP6ER1 within zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles to improve the susceptibility of Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) to imidacloprid. With an average particle size of 195 nm and a positive surface charge, the derived imidacloprid/dsNlCYP6ER1@ZIF-8 demonstrates good monodispersity. Survival curve results showed that the survival rates of N. lugens treated with imidacloprid and imidacloprid@ZIF-8 were 82 and 62%, respectively, whereas, in the imidacloprid/dsNlCYP6ER1@ZIF-8 treatment group, the survival rate of N. lugens is only 8%. Pot experiments demonstrate that the survival rate in the imidacloprid/dsNlCYP6ER1@ZIF-8 treatment group was much lower than that in the imidacloprid treatment group, decreasing from 54 to 24%. The identification of NlCYP6ER1 expression and the fluorescence tracking of ZIF-8 demonstrate that ZIF-8 can codeliver dsRNA and insecticide to insects via rice. Safety evaluation results showed that the dsNlCYP6ER1@ZIF-8 nanoparticle had desirable biocompatibility and biosafety to silkworm. This dsRNA and insecticide codelivery system may be extended to additional insecticides with potential resistance problems in the future, greatly enhancing the development of pest resistance management.
