DHXT1, a Virulence Factor of Dactylellina haptotyla, Regulates Pathogenicity by Participating in Trap Formation and Metabolite Synthesis.

The capsule-associated protein 10 gene (CAP10) is indispensable due to its involvement in pod formation and virulence maintenance in Cryptococcus neoformans. The function of the CAP10 gene in nematode-predatory fungi remains unreported. As a typical nematode-trapping fungus, Dactylellina haptotyla efficiently captures nematodes using adhesive knobs, which has potential applications in the biological control of plant-parasitic nematodes. In this study, we investigated the function of DHXT1 (a CAP10 homologous protein) in D. haptotyla-nematode interactions based on the disruption and overexpression of DHXT1, phenotypic analysis and metabolomic analysis. As a result, it was shown that the disruption of the DHXT1 gene causes a marked decrease in the number of adhesive knobs, and on the contrary, the overexpression of the DHXT1 gene causes a substantial increase in the number of adhesive knobs. Interestingly, the variety of metabolites increased with the disruption of the DHXT1 and decreased with the overexpression of the DHXT1 gene. The results suggest that DHXT1 effects pathogenicity through its involvement in adhesive knobs' formation and metabolite synthesis and serves as a key virulence factor in D. haptotyla.

[Anti-myocardial ischemic injury effects and mechanisms of cryptotanshinone in regulating macrophage polarisation through Dectin-1 signalling pathway].

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential mechanism by which cryptotanshinone(CTS) may exert its anti-myo-cardial ischemic effect through the regulation of macrophage polarization via the dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin 1(Dectin-1) signaling pathway. Male C57BL/6 mice, aged six weeks, were utilized to establish myocardial ischemia models and were subsequently divided into five groups: sham, model, CTS low-dose(21 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), CTS high-dose(84 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), and dapagliflozin(0.14 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)). The cardiac function, serum enzyme levels, Dectin-1 expression, macrophage polarization, and neutrophil infiltration in the myocardial infarction area were assessed in each group. An in vitro model of M1-type macrophages was constructed using lipopolysaccharide/interfe-ron-γ(LPS/IFN-γ) stimulated RAW264.7 cells to investigate the impact of CTS on macrophage polarization and to examine alterations in key proteins within the Dectin-1 signaling pathway. In the CTS group, compared to the model group mice, there was a significant improvement in the cardiac function and myocardial injury, along with a notable increase in the ratio of M2/M1-type macrophages in the myocardial infarcted area and a decrease in neutrophil infiltration. Additionally, Dectin-1 exhibited low expression. The results of in vitro experiments demonstrated that CTS can decrease the expression of M1-type marker genes and increase the expression of M2-type marker genes. Besides, it can decrease the levels of Dectin-1 and the phosphorylation of its associated proteins, including spleen tyrosine kinase(Syk), protein kinase B(Akt), nuclear factor-kappaB p65(NF-κB p65), and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases(ERK1/2). Additionally, CTS was found to enhance the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-6(STAT6). The above results suggest that CTS exerts its anti-myocardial ischemic injury effect by regulating macrophage polarization through the Dectin-1 signaling pathway.

Appressoria-Small but Incredibly Powerful Structures in Plant-Pathogen Interactions.

Plant-pathogenic fungi are responsible for many of the most severe crop diseases in the world and remain very challenging to control. Improving current protection strategies or designating new measures based on an overall understanding of molecular host-pathogen interaction mechanisms could be helpful for disease management. The attachment and penetration of the plant surface are the most important events among diverse plant-fungi interactions. Fungi evolved as small but incredibly powerful infection structure appressoria to facilitate attachment and penetration. Appressoria are indispensable for many diseases, such as rusts, powdery mildews, and blast diseases, as well as devastating oomycete diseases. Investigation into the formation of plant-pathogen appressoria contributes to improving the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of plant-pathogen interactions. Fungal host attachment is a vital step of fungal pathogenesis. Here, we review recent advances in the molecular mechanisms regulating the formation of appressoria. Additionally, some biocontrol agents were revealed to act on appressorium. The regulation of fungal adhesion during the infective process by acting on appressoria formation is expected to prevent the occurrence of crop disease caused by some pathogenic fungi.

[Medicinal plant resources in Inner Mongolia autonomous region of China and Mongolia: a comparative study].

Inner Mongolia autonomous region of China and Mongolia are the primary regions where Chinese and Mongolian medicine and its medicinal plant resources are distributed. In this study, 133 families, 586 genera, and 1 497 species of medicinal plants in Inner Mongolia as well as 62 families, 261 genera, and 467 species of medicinal plants in Mongolia were collected through field investigation, specimen collection and identification, and literature research. And the species, geographic distribution, and influencing factors of the above medicinal plants were analyzed. The results revealed that there were more plant species utilized for medicinal reasons in Inner Mongolia than in Mongolia. Hotspots emerged in Hulunbuir, Chifeng, and Tongliao of Inner Mongolia, while there were several hotspots in Eastern province, Sukhbaatar province, Gobi Altai province, Bayankhongor province, Middle Gobi province, Kobdo province, South Gobi province, and Central province of Mongolia. The interplay of elevation and climate made a non-significant overall contribution to the diversity of plant types in Inner Mongolia and Mongolia. The contribution of each factor increased significantly when the vegetation types of Inner Mongolia and Mongolia were broadly divided into forest, grassland and desert. Thus, the distribution of medicinal plant resources and vegetation cover were jointly influenced by a variety of natural factors such as topography, climate and interactions between species, and these factors contributed to and constrained each other. This study provided reference for sustainable development and rational exploitation of medicinal plant resources in future.

Angiotensin-(1-7), the product of ACE2 ameliorates NAFLD by acting through its receptor Mas to regulate hepatic mitochondrial function and glycolipid metabolism.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most general liver disease characterized by a continuum of liver abnormalities ranging from simple fatty liver to advanced stage of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathological drivers of NAFLD are complex and largely undefined. It is increasingly identified that the imbalance between renin-angiotensin system and ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction associated with NAFLD. However, no known empirical research has focused on exploring the effect of the regulation of mitochondrial respiration chain activity by Ang-(1-7)/Mas on the prevention of NAFLD. Here, we evaluated the interaction and relevance of hepatic Ang-(1-7)/Mas-axis challenge with glucolipid metabolism and mitochondrial condition in vivo and in vitro. In this context, we found that Mas deletion in mice contributed to the severe glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis which accompanied by elevated levels of serum/ hepatic alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and triglycerides, as well as the mitochondrial dysfunction. Whereas forced upregulation of Mas or Ang-(1-7) administration could significantly attenuate these consequences by downregulating the expression of hepatic lipogenic proteins and enzymes for gluconeogenesis. Furthermore, activation of Ang-(1-7)/Mas arm could improve the IRS-1/Akt/AMPK pathway and enhance the mitochondrial energy utilization. Considered together, it is becoming extremely hopeful to provide a new perspective for Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis for the therapeutics of NAFLD.

Influence of the timing of bronchoscopic alveolar lavage on children with adenovirus pneumonia: a comparative study.

BACKGROUND: Adenovirus pneumonia is prone to severe clinical and imaging manifestations in children. Bronchoscopic alveolar lavage (BAL) is an important adjunctive therapy for patients with severe imaging findings. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the timing on the efficacy of bronchoalveolar lavage in children with adenovirus pneumonia. METHODS: This study included 134 patients with adenovirus pneumonia treated with BAL at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2019 to January 2020.They were classified into the severe and mild groups. Based on the timing of BAL, each group was divided into the early BAL layer (received BAL within 1-9 days of the illness course) and the late BAL layer (received BAL within 10-14 days of the illness course). The clinical data of patients with different BAL timings were analyzed in two groups. RESULTS: Among the 134 patients, 70 were categorized into the mild group and 64 were categorized into the severe group. Of the 134 patients, 42 patients received BAL early (mild group: n = 21 and severe group: n = 21) and 92 patients received BAL later (mild group: n = 49 and severe group: n = 43). In the mild group, the fever and hospital duration were shorter in patients who received BAL early than in those who received BAL later (p < 0.05). However, in the severe group, there were no statistically significant differences in the fever and hospital duration between patients who received BAL early and those who received BAL later. However, the need for mechanical ventilation and the incidence of BAL complications, such as new need for oxygen, were higher in patients who received BAL early than in those who received BAL later in the severe group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: For mild adenovirus pneumonia, early BAL may shorten the fever and hospital duration. However, early BAL in severe cases might not shorten the course of the disease or improve prognosis and may even increase the risks of mechanical ventilation and BAL complications.

[Application of remote sensing technology in medicinal plant resources].

The sustainable use of medicinal plants is the foundation of the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the acquisition of information on medicinal plants is the basis for the development of TCM. The traditional methods of investigating medicinal plant resources are disadvantageous in strong subjectivity and poor timeliness, making it difficult to real-time monitor medicinal plant resources. In recent years, remote sensing technology has become an important means of obtaining information on medicinal plants. The application of this technology has made up for the shortcomings of traditional methods. The open-access remote sensing data with medium spatial resolution satellites provide an opportunity for extracting information on medicinal plant resources.

Secondly, it reviewed the applications of remote sensing technology in the extraction of information on the cultivation of medicinal plants and the common methods for extracting the planting structure information of medicinal plants based on remote sensing technology. Thirdly, the applications of remote sensing technology in the investigation and monitoring of medicinal plants were further analyzed with the research objects divided into wild and cultivated medicinal plants according to the characteristics of the habitats. Finally, it pointed out the key unsolved technical problems in the remote sensing monitoring of medicinal plant resources, and proposed solutions for the intelligent information processing of medicinal plants based on remote sensing big data, which is expected to provide references for the development of remote sensing technology in derivative application in medicinal plant resources.

Total and double-stranded DNA-specific immunoglobulin E in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of children with human adenovirus pneumonia.

BACKGROUND: Some antibodies and autoreactive antibodies are associated with the severity of infectious diseases. The roles of humoral responses to lung inflammation in children with human adenovirus (HAdVs) pneumonia remain unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was done to compare plasma immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels between HAdVs pneumonia patients and healthy children by searching the electronic medical record system of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center. Then, a prospective study was performed for children with HAdVs pneumonia who needed flexible bronchoscopy for examination and treatment purposes during July 2017 to July 2019. We examined the IgE and autoreactive IgE levels in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of these children to explore their role in HAdVs pneumonia. RESULTS: A significantly higher level of IgE was found in plasma from children hospitalized with HAdVs pneumonia compared with that from healthy children in the same age range. Furthermore, the levels of IgE, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and double-stranded DNA-specific immunoglobulin E (dsDNA-IgE) in BALF were increased compared to plasma in children with HAdVs pneumonia. The levels of IgE, dsDNA, and dsDNA-IgE in BALF were significantly higher in the severe group compared to the non-severe group. The ability of IgE in BALF to recognize dsDNA was verified by the ELISPOT test. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that IgE and dsDNA-IgE in BALF may contribute to lung injury caused by HAdVs, especially in severe cases. Elevated dsDNA-IgE may serve as an indicator of severity in children with HAdVs pneumonia.

[Research on remote sensing recognition of wild planted Lonicera japonica based on deep convolutional neural network].

Identification of Chinese medicinal materials is a fundamental part and an important premise of the modern Chinese medicinal materials industry. As for the traditional Chinese medicinal materials that imitate wild cultivation, due to their scattered, irregular, and fine-grained planting characteristics, the fine classification using traditional classification methods is not accurate. Therefore, a deep convolution neural network model is used for imitating wild planting. Identification of Chinese herbal medicines.

Parameters, further optimize the network structure, and obtain a L. japonica recognition model. The research results show that the deep convolutional neural network based on GoogLeNet can effectively extract the L. japonica information that is relatively fragmented in the image, and realize the fine classification of L. japonica. After training and optimization, the overall classification accuracy of L. japonica can reach 97.5%, and total area accuracy is 94.6%, which can provide a reference for the application of deep convolutional neural network method in remote sensing classification of Chinese medicinal materials.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 inhibits endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated pathway to preserve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

BACKGROUND: Previous works indicated that the stress on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) affected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, there is no clear evident on the effect of the regulation of ER stress by angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on the prevention of NAFLD. METHODS: HepG2 cells were treated with thapsigargin (Tg) or palmitic acid (PA). We analysed ACE2 expression using Western-blotting analyses. ER stress-related proteins were detected in ACE2 knockout mice and Ad-ACE2-treated db/db mice by immunofluorescence or Western-blotting analyses. In ACE2-overexpression HepG2 cells, the triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and glycogen content were detected by assay kits. Meanwhile, the expression of hepatic lipogenic proteins (ACCα, SREBP-1c, FAS, and LXRα), enzymes for gluconeogenesis (PEPCK, G6Pase, and IRS2), and IKKß/NFκB/IRS1/Akt pathway were analysed by Western-blotting analyses. RESULTS: ACE2 was significantly increased in Tg/PA-induced cultured hepatocytes. Additionally, ACE2 knockout mice displayed elevated levels of ER stress, while Ad-ACE2-treated db/db mice showed reduced ER stress in liver. Furthermore, activation of ACE2 can ameliorate ER stress, accompanied by decreased TG content, increased intracellular glycogen, and downregulated expression of hepatic lipogenic proteins and enzymes for gluconeogenesis in Tg/PA-induced hepatocytes. As a consequence of anti-ER stress, the activation of ACE2 led to improved glucose and lipid metabolism through the IKKß/NFκB/IRS1/Akt pathway. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first time documented that ACE2 had a notable alleviating role in ER stress-induced hepatic steatosis and glucose metabolism via the IKKß/NFκB/IRS1/Akt-mediated pathway. This study may further provide insight into a novel underlying mechanism and a strategy for treating NAFLD.
