Conclusion:Medical universities should further encourage good relationship among students, and enhance students' interest in learning through various measures, especially for female students and students who has relative poorer maternal education.

LRG1 inhibits hepatic macrophage activation by enhancing TGF-β1 signaling to alleviate MAFLD in mice / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein (LRG1) derived from hepatocytes on activation of hepatic M1 Kupffer cells.@*METHODS@#A metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) model was established in BALB/c mice by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding for 16 weeks. Oleic acid was used to induce steatosis in primary cultures of mouse hepatocytes. The mRNA and protein expressions of LRG1 in mouse liver tissues and hepatocytes were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Primary hepatic macrophages were stimulated with the conditioned medium (CM) from steatotic hepatocyte along with LRG1 or transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), or both for 24 h, and the expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was detected with Western botting, and the mRNA expressions of iNOS, chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL-1) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were measured by RT-PCR. The MAFLD mice were injected with LRG1 (n=6), TGF-β1 (n=6), or both (n=6) through the caudal vein, and the live tissues were collected for HE staining and immumohistochemical detection of F4/80 expression; the mRNA expressions of iNOS, CXCL-1 and IL-1β in liver tissues were detected using RT-PCR.@*RESULTS@#The mRNA and protein expression levels of LRG1 were significantly downregulated in the liver tissues of MAFLD mice and steatotic hepatocytes (P < 0.05). Treatment of the hepatic macrophages with CM from steatosis hepatocytes significantly enhanced the mRNA expression levels of iNOS, CXCL-1 and IL-1β, and these changes were significantly inhibited by the combined treatment with TGF-β1 and LRG1 (P < 0.05). In MAFLD mice, injections with either LRG1 or TGF-β1 alone reduced hepatic lipid deposition and intrahepatic macrophage infiltration, and these effects were significantly enhanced by their combined treatment, which also more strongly inhibited the mRNA expression levels of iNOS, CXCL-1 and IL-1β (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#LRG1 inhibits hepatic macrophage infiltration by enhancing TGF-β1 signaling to alleviate fatty liver inflammation in MAFLD mice.

Preparation of colloidal gold test strips for the detection of antibodies to peste des petits ruminants based on monoclonal antibodies to N protein / 生物工程学报

A simple, fast, and visual method for detecting antibodies against peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) using colloidal gold strips was developed. In this study, the pET-32a-N was transformed into Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) for expression. Hybridoma cell lines were generated by fusing SP2/0 myeloma cells with splenocytes from immunized mice with the expressed and purified N protein of PPRV. The PPRV N protein was labeled with colloidal gold particles as the gold-labeled antigen. The N protein served as the gold standard antigen and as the test (T) line-coated antigen, while the monoclonal antibody served as the quality control (C) line-coated antibody to assemble the colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips for detecting antibodies against the N protein of PPRV. Hybridoma cell line designated as 1F1 was able to stably secrete the monoclonal antibody against the N protein of PPRV. The titer of 1F1 monoclonal antibody in ascites was 1:128 000 determined by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and the immunoglobulin subtype of the monoclonal antibody was IgG1, with kappa chain. The obtained monoclonal antibody was able to specifically recognize the N protein of PPRV, as shown by Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA). The developed colloidal gold test strip method was able to detect PPRV antibodies specifically, and there was no difference between different batches of the test strips. Testing of a total of 122 clinical sera showed that the compliance rate of the test strip with ELISA test was 97.6%.The test strip assay developed in this study has good specificity, reproducibility, and sensitivity, and it can be used for the rapid detection of PPRV antibodies.

The Role of GLUT⁃1 in Cancer Metabolism Reprogramming / 中国生物化学与分子生物学报

In recent years, with the deepening of tumor biology research, people have a newer and more comprehensive understanding of complex tumor metabolism reprogramming. The glucose transport protein-1(GLUT-1) is a glucose transporter widely expressed in the cell membranes of various tissues and represents unusual overexpression in the plasma membrane of virous cancer cell. GLUT-1 can transport man-nose, galactose, glucosamine and ascorbic acid (AA). GLUT-1 is overexpressed in different degrees on the plasma membrane of different tumor cells. Overexpressed GLUT-1 will make tumor cells take in more glucose to reprogram the metabolic mode of cells, and at the same time, it influences the change of tumor microenvironment. And the regulation of GLUT-1 in tumors has been the focus of attention in recent years, and the upstream regulators that have been reported mainly include phosphatase and tension homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). GLUT-1 also plays an important role in tumorigenesis and development by influencing the p53 and cellular tumorigenic gene (c-Myc) pathways. The review introduces structure and function of GLUT-1, the effects of transporting different substrates in tumor metabolic reprogramming, the regulation of GLUT-1, and the current treatment of GLUT-1. Meanwhile, the review discusses mechanisms and development of the role of GLUT-1 in cancer metabolism reprogramming, and points out the existing problems to provide reference for the research of metabolism reprogramming and targeted therapy of malignant tumors.

Reactivation of PPARα alleviates myocardial lipid accumulation and cardiac dysfunction by improving fatty acid β-oxidation in Dsg2-deficient arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a fatal heart disease characterized by fibroadipocytic replacement of cardiac myocytes, accounts for 20% of sudden cardiac death and lacks effective treatment. It is often caused by mutations in desmosome proteins, with Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) mutations as a common etiology. However, the mechanism underlying the accumulation of fibrofatty in ACM remains unknown, which impedes the development of curative treatment. Here we investigated the fat accumulation and the underlying mechanism in a mouse model of ACM induced by cardiac-specific knockout of Dsg2 (CS-Dsg2 -/-). Heart failure and cardiac lipid accumulation were observed in CS-Dsg2 -/- mice. We demonstrated that these phenotypes were caused by decline of fatty acid (FA) β-oxidation resulted from impaired mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. Rapamycin worsened while overexpression of mTOR and 4EBP1 rescued the FA β-oxidation pathway in CS-Dsg2 -/- mice. Reactivation of PPARα by fenofibrate or AAV9-Pparα significantly alleviated the lipid accumulation and restored cardiac function. Our results suggest that impaired mTOR-4EBP1-PPARα-dependent FA β-oxidation contributes to myocardial lipid accumulation in ACM and PPARα may be a potential target for curative treatment of ACM.

Prediction model of gonadotropin starting dose and its clinical application in controlled ovarian stimulation.

BACKGROUND: Selecting an appropriate and personalized Gn starting dose (GSD) is an essential procedure for determining the quality and quantity of oocytes in the controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) process of the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycle. The current approach for determining the GSD is mainly based on the experience of a clinician, lacking unified and scientific standards. This study aims to establish a prediction model of GSD, based on which good COS outcomes can be achieved with the influencing factors comprehensively evaluated quantitatively. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We collected a total of 1555 patients undergoing the first oocytes retrieving cycle and conducted correlation analysis to find the significant factors related to the GSD. Two GSD models are built based on two popular machine learning approaches, and the one with better model performance is selected as the final model. Finally, clinical application and validation were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model. RESULTS: (1) Age, duration of infertility, type of infertility, body mass index (BMI), antral follicle count (AFC), basal follicle stimulating hormone (bFSH), estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and COS treatment regimen were closely related to the GSD (P < 0.05). (2) The selected model has good modeling performance in terms of both root mean square error (RMSE) (29.87 ~ 34.21) and regression coefficient R (0.947 ~ 0.953). (3) A comprehensive evaluation of influencing factors for GSD is conducted and shows that the top four most significant factors are age, AMH, AFC, and BMI. (4) The proposed GSD can approximate the actual value well in the clinical application, with the mean absolute error of only 11.26 units, and the recommended results can prompt the number of oocytes retrieved (NOR) close to the optimal number. CONCLUSION: Modeling the GSD value with machine learning approaches is feasible and effective, and the proposed model has good clinical application for determining the GSD in the IVF treatment cycle.

A dynamic and multilocus metabolic regulation strategy using quorum-sensing-controlled bacterial small RNA.

Metabolic regulation strategies have been developed to redirect metabolic fluxes to production pathways. However, it is difficult to screen out target genes that, when repressed, improve yield without affecting cell growth. Here, we report a strategy using a quorum-sensing system to control small RNA transcription, allowing cell-density-dependent repression of target genes. This strategy is shown with convenient operation, dynamic repression, and availability for simultaneous regulation of multiple genes. The parameters Ai, Am, and RA (3-oxohexanoyl-homoserine lactone [AHL] concentrations at which half of the maximum repression and the maximum repression were reached and value of the maximum repression when AHL was added manually, respectively) are defined and introduced to characterize repression curves, and the variant LuxRI58N is identified as the most suitable tuning factor for shake flask culture. Moreover, it is shown that dynamic overexpression of the Hfq chaperone is the key to combinatorial repression without disruptions on cell growth. To show a broad applicability, the production titers of pinene, pentalenene, and psilocybin are improved by 365.3%, 79.5%, and 302.9%, respectively, by applying combinatorial dynamic repression.

Research Progress in Genetic Research of Fatigue / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Fatigue refers to the manifestation of disorders in the process of carrying out or maintaining random activities， which can be regarded as an independent disease or as a symptom in a variety of chronic diseases. The high incidence of fatigue has seriously affected people's physical and mental health， and the prevention and treatment of fatigue has become an important problem to be solved urgently. The pathogenesis of fatigue mainly includes energy consumpation， accumulation of metabolites， abnormal secretion of neurotransmitters， decline of mitochondrial function， dysfunction of hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis， etc. At present， there is no unified understanding about the pathogenesis of fatigue at home and abroad. The gene research of fatigue is the current research frontier. Gene expression profiling provides a new method for the study of the mechanism of fatigue. The combination of gene chip technology and traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） theory is expected to bring a breakthrough in the study of the pathogenesis of fatigue. In the study of fatigue gene chip， messenger RNA（mRNA） and microRNA（miRNA） are the common research objects， but few explorations are focused on the gene expression rule of fatigue by a specific signaling pathway and the effective regulation targets of TCM for treating fatigue. In recent years， the dysfunction of reward and inhibition mechanism in the central nervous system has become a research hotspot. In particular， gamma amino butyric acid （GABA） and dopamine （DA） have attracted much attention as the main substances of inhibition and reward mechanism， respectively. GABA and DA are used as inhibition and reward mechanisms to maintain the balance， and the body will not feel fatigue. Once the balance is broken， the fatigue will be formed. At the same time， DA and GABA receptors can also regulate cyclic adenosine monophosphate signaling pathway（cAMP） to affect fatigue. The research on key genes in GABA/DA balance mechanism and related cAMP signaling pathway by gene chip technology is expected to reveal the pathogenesis of fatigue in depth. The gene chip method is used to detect the changes of key genes in GABA/DA pathway and the related cAMP signaling pathway in the fatigue population and the normal population， so as to further explore the pathogenesis of fatigue. In this paper， the key genes in GABA/DA balance mechanism and cAMP signaling pathway related to fatigue were summarized by using the review method， so as to provide the basis for further study on the pathogenesis of fatigue and effective prevention and treatment from the perspective of genetics.

Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase 1 (ACC1) Affects the Proliferation of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) by Regulating Cyclin D1/CDK4 / 中国生物化学与分子生物学报

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is the rate limiting enzyme of fatty acid synthesis pathway. Studies have shown that ACC1 is implicated in a variety of metabolic diseases and cancer. However, the role and mechanism of action of ACC1 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been reported. In this study, 786-O and Caki-1 clear cell renal carcinoma cells were used as research objects to investigate the effect of abnormal expression of ACC1 on their proliferation and unravel the underlying mechanism. Red oil-O-staining results showed that the lipid content of 786-O and Caki-1 cells was significantly higher than that of human kidney 2 (HK2) cells. By searching TCGA database, we found that the expression of ACC1 proteins in ccRCC was significantly higher than that in normal renal tissues (P < 0.001). Plus, ACC1 protein expression in all clinical TNM stages was significantly higher than that in normal tissues, and the higher the expression of ACC1, the higher the pathological grade. Furthermore, high expression of ACC1 mRNA is positively correlated with poor prognosis in ccRCC patients. Western blotting analysis showed that the expression of ACC1 in 786-O and Caki-1 cells was significantly higher than that in HK2 cells. The results of red oil-O-staining showed that knocking down ACC1 could significantly reduce the lipid content of 786-O and Caki-1 cells. The results of CCK-8 assays and clonogenicity analysis showed that knocking down ACC1 could significantly reduce the proliferation and colony forming ability of 786-O and Caki-1 cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that after knocking down ACC1, the cell cycle was blocked at the G
