Global analysis of gene expression in response to double trisomy loquat (Eriobotrya japonica).

Aneuploidy generally has severe phenotypic consequences. However, the molecular basis for this has been focused on single chromosomal dosage changes. It is not clear how the karyotype of complex aneuploidies affects gene expression. Here, we identified six different double-trisomy loquat strains from Q24 progenies of triploid loquat. The differences and similarities of the transcriptional responses of different double trisomy loquat strains were studied systematically via RNA-seq. The global modulation of gene expression indicated that both cis and trans-effects coordinately regulated gene expression in aneuploid loquat to some extent, and this coordinated regulation was determined by different gene functional groups. Aneuploidy can induce specific transcriptional responses on loquat chromosomes. The differentially expressed genes exhibited regional gene expression dysregulation domains along chromosomes. Furthermore, Aneuploidy could also promote the expression of genes with moderate and high in loquats. Our results provide new insights into the genome-wide transcriptional effects of karyotypes with complex aneuploidies.

Investigation of the relationship between COVID-19 and pancreatic cancer using bioinformatics and systems biology approaches.

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, poses a huge threat to human health. Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a malignant tumor with high mortality. Research suggests that infection with SARS-CoV-2 may increase disease severity and risk of death in patients with pancreatic cancer, while pancreatic cancer may also increase the likelihood of contracting SARS-CoV-2, but the link is unclear. METHODS: This study investigated the transcriptional profiles of COVID-19 and PC patients, along with their respective healthy controls, using bioinformatics and systems biology approaches to uncover the molecular mechanisms linking the 2 diseases. Specifically, gene expression data for COVID-19 and PC patients were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus datasets, and common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Gene ontology and pathway enrichment analyses were performed on the common DEGs to elucidate the regulatory relationships between the diseases. Additionally, hub genes were identified by constructing a protein-protein interaction network from the shared DEGs. Using these hub genes, we conducted regulatory network analyses of microRNA/transcription factors-genes relationships, and predicted potential drugs for treating COVID-19 and PC. RESULTS: A total of 1722 and 2979 DEGs were identified from the transcriptome data of PC (GSE119794) and COVID-19 (GSE196822), respectively. Among these, 236 common DEGs were found between COVID-19 and PC based on protein-protein interaction analysis. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that these shared DEGs were involved in pathways related to viral genome replication and tumorigenesis. Additionally, 10 hub genes, including extra spindle pole bodies like 1, holliday junction recognition protein, marker of proliferation Ki-67, kinesin family member 4A, cyclin-dependent kinase 1, topoisomerase II alpha, cyclin B2, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 C, aurora kinase B, and targeting protein for Xklp2, were identified. Regulatory network analysis revealed 42 transcription factors and 23 microRNAs as transcriptional regulatory signals. Importantly, lucanthone, etoposide, troglitazone, resveratrol, calcitriol, ciclopirox, dasatinib, enterolactone, methotrexate, and irinotecan emerged as potential therapeutic agents against both COVID-19 and PC. CONCLUSION: This study unveils potential shared pathogenic mechanisms between PC and COVID-19, offering novel insights for future research and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of PC and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of two pomelo accessions with different parthenocarpic ability provides insight into the molecular mechanisms of parthenocarpy in pomelo (Citrus grandis).

Parthenocarpy is an important way for seedless fruit production in citrus. However, the molecular mechanism(s) of parthenocarpy in pomelo is still unknown. Our initial study found significantly different parthenocarpic abilities in Guanximiyou (G) and Shatianyou (S) pomelo following emasculation, and an endogenous hormone content assay revealed that indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA3) and zeatin (ZT) jointly promoted fruit expansion and cell division in parthenocarpic pomelo (G pomelo). To unravel the underlying molecular mechanism(s), we conducted the first transcriptome analysis on the two pomelo accessions at these two critical stages: the fruit initiation stage and the rapid expansion stage, in order to identify genes associated with parthenocarpy. This analysis yielded approximately 7.86 Gb of high-quality reads, and the subsequent de novo assembly resulted in the identification of 5,792 DEGs (Differentially Expressed Genes). Among these, a range of transcription factor families such as CgERF, CgC2H2, CgbHLH, CgNAC and CgMYB, along with genes like CgLAX2, CgGH3.6 and CgGH3, emerged as potential candidates contributing to pomelo parthenocarpy, as confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis. The present study provides comprehensive transcriptomic profiles of both parthenocarpic and non-parthenocarpic pomelos, reveals several metabolic pathways linked to parthenocarpy, and highlights the significant role of plant hormones in its regulation. These findings deepen our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying parthenocarpy in pomelo.

Unveiling the hidden dangers: a review of non-apoptotic programmed cell death in anesthetic-induced developmental neurotoxicity.

Anesthetic-induced developmental neurotoxicity (AIDN) can arise due to various factors, among which aberrant nerve cell death is a prominent risk factor. Animal studies have reported that repeated or prolonged anesthetic exposure can cause significant neuroapoptosis in the developing brain. Lately, non-apoptotic programmed cell deaths (PCDs), characterized by inflammation and oxidative stress, have gained increasing attention. Substantial evidence suggests that non-apoptotic PCDs are essential for neuronal cell death in AIDN compared to apoptosis. This article examines relevant publications in the PubMed database until April 2024. Only original articles in English that investigated the potential manifestations of non-apoptotic PCD in AIDN were analysed. Specifically, it investigates necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and parthanatos, elucidating the signaling mechanisms associated with each form. Furthermore, this study explores the potential relevance of these non-apoptotic PCDs pathways to the pathological mechanisms underlying AIDN, drawing upon their distinctive characteristics. Despite the considerable challenges involved in translating fundamental scientific knowledge into clinical therapeutic interventions, this comprehensive review offers a theoretical foundation for developing innovative preventive and treatment strategies targeting non-apoptotic PCDs in the context of AIDN.

Influential factors of adherence to inhalation drug therapy in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the influential factors of adherence to inhalation drug therapy (IDT) in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: A total of 243 patients with stable COPD who visited the chronic disease clinic of the respiratory department of our hospital between April 2022 and October 2022 were selected as participants using the convenience sampling method. Relevant information about all participants was collected by questionnaire for investigation, including basic information, clinical characteristics, inhaled drug names, situational awareness, dose and frequency. RESULTS: Univariate analysis revealed positive correlations between the following factors: (1) the total score of drug adherence and the total scores of the COPD knowledge questionnaire (COPD-Q), social support, subjective support, objective support and support utilisation, (2) the total score of dosage adherence and the total scores of COPD-Q, objective support and support utilisation and (3) the total score of technical standardisation and the total scores of social support, subjective support and objective support (p < 0.05). Multifactorial analysis showed that COPD health literacy, number of acute exacerbations in the past year and social support factors collectively accounted for 37.4% of the variable of patient adherence to IDT, as did COPD health literacy, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) grading, duration of COPD, utilisation of support and marital status collectively account for 47.4% of the variable of patient dosage adherence. The goodness-of-fit of age, mMRC grading, social support, mode of residence, number of acute exacerbations in the past year and literacy to the patients' inhalation technical standardisation in the model was 47.4%. CONCLUSION: Dose adherence was predominantly influenced by COPD health literacy, mMRC grading, duration of COPD, utilisation of support and marital status. Inhalation technical standardisation was substantially limited by age, mMRC grading, social support, mode of residence, number of acute exacerbations in the past year and literacy.

Characterization of flavor volatiles in raw and cooked pigmented onion (Allium cepa L) bulbs: A comparative HS-GC-IMS fingerprinting study.

Variations in volatile flavor components in pigmented onion bulbs (purple, white, and yellow) before and after cooking were characterized by headspace gas chromatography-ion migration spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) to investigate their odor traits. Results showed that 39 and 45 volatile flavor compounds were identified from pigmented onion bulbs before and after cooking via the HS-GC-IMS fingerprinting, respectively. Sulfurs (accounting for 50.65%-63.42%), aldehydes (13.36%-22.11%), and alcohols (11.32%-17.94%) ranked the top three prevailing compound categories in all pigmented onions (both raw and cooked). Compared to the raw colored onion bulbs, the relative proportion of sulfurs in cooked onions decreased, whereas the relative proportion of alcohols, esters, pyrazines, and furans increased. Two reliable prediction models were established through orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), and 8 and 22 distinctive odor compounds were sieved out by variable importance in projection (VIP>1.0) as volatile labels, respectively. Both principal component analysis (PCA) and clustering heatmap exhibited favorable distinguishing effects for various pigmented onion bulbs before and after cooking. These results might offer insights into understanding the odor characteristics of different pigmented onions.

Miao sour soup alleviates DSS-induced colitis in mice: modulation of gut microbiota and intestinal barrier function.

Miao sour soup (MSS), a daily fermented food in Guizhou, China, is rich in microorganisms with various beneficial activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, the therapeutic effects of MSS on IBD remain unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of MSS against colitis in mice. In this study, we examined the microbial community structure of MSS by metagenomic sequencing and also explored the protective effect of MSS on DSS-induced colitis in mice. We investigated the effects of MSS on intestinal inflammatory response and intestinal barrier function in mice. Finally, the changes in intestinal flora were analyzed based on the 16S rRNA gene sequencing results. Significantly, the experiment result shows that MSS ameliorated the severity of DSS-induced disease in mice by mitigating colitis-associated weight loss, reducing the disease activity index of IBD, alleviating colonic hemorrhagic lesions, increasing colon length, and improving colonic tissue damage. Moreover, MSS preserved intestinal barrier integrity and restored intestinal epithelial function in mice. Additionally, MSS modulated the structure and composition of the intestinal flora. Furthermore, MSS downregulated pro-inflammatory factors and attenuated the NF-κB p65 expression, thereby mitigating the inflammatory response. These findings highlight the protective effect of MSS against DSS-induced colitis, providing substantial scientific support for potential applications of MSS as a functional food.

Real-World Treatment Patterns and Clinical Outcomes Among Patients with Metastatic or Unresectable EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Previously Treated with Osimertinib and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy.

INTRODUCTION: For patients with epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) locally advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose disease has progressed on or after osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC), no uniformly accepted standard of care exists. Moreover, limited efficacy of standard treatments indicates an unmet medical need, which is being addressed by ongoing clinical investigations, including the HERTHENA-Lung01 (NCT04619004) study of patritumab deruxtecan (HER3­DXd). However, because limited information is available on real-world clinical outcomes in such patients, early-phase trials of investigational therapies lack sufficient context for comparison. This study describes the real-world clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes for patients with EGFRm mNSCLC who initiated a new line of therapy following previous osimertinib and PBC, including a subset matched to the HERTHENA-Lung01 population. METHODS: This retrospective analysis used a US database derived from deidentified electronic health records. The reference cohort included patients with EGFRm mNSCLC who had initiated a new line of therapy between November 13, 2015 and June 30, 2021, following prior osimertinib and PBC. A subset of patients resembling the HERTHENA-Lung01 population was then extracted from the reference cohort; this matched subset was optimized using propensity score (PS) weighting. Endpoints were real-world overall survival (rwOS) and real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS). Confirmed real-world objective response rate (rwORR; partial/complete response confirmed ≥ 28 days later) was calculated for the response-evaluable subgroups of patients (with ≥ 2 response assessments spaced ≥ 28 days apart). RESULTS: In the reference cohort (N = 273), multiple treatment regimens were used, and none was predominant. Median rwPFS and rwOS were 3.3 and 8.6 months, respectively; confirmed rwORR (response evaluable, n = 123) was 13.0%. In the matched subset (n = 126), after PS weighting, median rwPFS and rwOS were 4.2 and 9.1 months, respectively; confirmed rwORR (response evaluable, n = 57) was 14.1%. CONCLUSION: The treatment landscape for this heavily pretreated population of patients with EGFRm mNSCLC is fragmented, with no uniformly accepted standard of care. A high unmet need exists for therapeutic options that provide meaningful improvements in clinical benefit.

Autism-associated neuroligin-3 deficiency in medial septum causes social deficits and sleep loss in mice.

Patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently experience sleep disturbance. Genetic mutations in Neuroligin-3 (NLG3) genes are highly correlative with ASD and sleep disturbance. However, the cellular and neural circuit bases of this correlation remain elusive. Here, we find the conditional knockout of NLG3 (NLG3-CKO) in the medial septum (MS) impairs social memory and reduces sleep. NLG3 knockout in MS causes hyperactivity of MS-GABA neurons during social avoidance and wakefulness. Activation of MSGABA neurons induces social memory deficits and sleep loss in C57BL/6 mice. In contrast, inactivation of these neurons ameliorates social memory deficits and sleep loss in NLG3-CKO mice. Sleep deprivation leads to social memory deficits, while social isolation causes sleep loss, both resulting in a reduction of NLG3 expression and an increase in activity of GABAergic neurons in MS from C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, MS-GABA-innervated CA2 neurons specifically regulate social memory without impacting sleep, whereas MSGABA-innervating neurons in the preoptic area selectively control sleep without affecting social behavior. Together, these findings demonstrate that the hyperactive MS-GABA neurons impair social memory and disrupt sleep resulting from NLG3 knockout in MS, and achieve the modality specificity through their divergent downstream targets.

Change in resilience among spousal caregivers of patients with newly-diagnosed advanced cancer over the first six months posttreatment in China.

OBJECTIVE: A longitudinal observational study was conducted and aimed to examine the change in resilience among spousal caregivers of newly-diagnosed advanced cancer patients over the first six months after initial treatment. METHODS: In total, 312 Chinese spousal caregivers who were taking care of their patients with newly-diagnosed advanced cancer were recruited. The level of resilience was measured using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale at the first month post-initial treatment (T1), three-month post-initial treatment (T2), and six-month post-initial treatment (T3). Latent growth modeling analyses were performed to examine changes in resilience using Mplus 8.3. RESULTS: The mean scores of resilience in spousal caregivers were 54.01 ± 7.68 at T1, 56.20 ± 6.38 at T2, and 57.97 ± 6.70 at T3, respectively. Results of latent growth modeling indicated that spousal caregivers showed a significant increase in their resilience scores over the first six months post-treatment (Mean slope = 1.98, p < 0.001). Furthermore, a significant individual variation in the rate of changes in resilience scores allowed spouses to be categorized into two groups: 42.9% participants with fast growth and 57.1% participants with slight growth. CONCLUSION: Our findings highlight the importance that new knowledge about change patterns of resilience in the nursing field is beneficial to reveal different psychosomatic health. Acknowledging that resilience is a dynamic process that changes over time, it is crucial for healthcare providers to monitor the psychological adjustment and focus of vulnerable caregivers, particularly spouses.

The critical roles of the Zn2Cys6 transcription factor Fp487 in the development and virulence of Fusarium pseudograminearum: A potential target for Fusarium crown rot control.

Fusarium crown rot (FCR) caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum poses a significant threat to wheat production in the Huang-Huai-Hai region of China. However, the pathogenic mechanism of F. pseudograminearum is still poorly understood. Zn2Cys6 transcription factors, which are exclusive to fungi, play pivotal roles in regulating fungal development, drug resistance, pathogenicity, and secondary metabolism. In this study, we present the functional characterization of a Zn2Cys6 transcription factor F. pseudograminearum, designated Fp487. In F. pseudograminearum, Fp487 is shown to be required for mycelial growth through gene knockout and phenotypic analyses. Compared with wild-type CF14047, the ∆Fp487 mutant displayed a slight reduction in growth rate but a significant decrease in conidiogenesis, pathogenicity and 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (3AcDON) production. Moreover, the mutant exhibited heightened sensitivity to oxidative and cytomembrane stress. Furthermore, we synthesized dsRNA from the Fp487 gene in vitro, resulting in a reduction in the growth rate of F. pseudograminearum and its virulence on barley leaves through spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS). Notably, this study makes the first instance of inducing the expression of abundant dsRNA from F. pseudograminearum by engineering the Escherichia coli strain HT115 (DE3) and utilizing the SIGS technique to evaluate the virulence effect of dsRNA on F. pseudograminearum. In conclusion, our findings revealed the crucial role of Fp487 in regulating pathogenicity, stress responses, DON production, and conidiogenesis in F. pseudograminearum. Furthermore, Fp487 is a potential RNAi-based target for FCR control.

"Ion-imprinting" strategy towards metal sulfide scavenger enables the highly selective capture of radiocesium.

Highly selective capture of radiocesium is an urgent need for environmental radioactive contamination remediation and spent fuel disposal. Herein, a strategy is proposed for construction of "inorganic ion-imprinted adsorbents" with ion recognition-separation capabilities, and a metal sulfide Cs2.33Ga2.33Sn1.67S8·H2O (FJSM-CGTS) with "imprinting effect" on Cs+ is prepared. We show that the K+ activation product of FJSM-CGTS, Cs0.51K1.82Ga2.33Sn1.67S8·H2O (FJMS-KCGTS), can reach adsorption equilibrium for Cs+ within 5 min, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 246.65 mg·g-1. FJMS-KCGTS overcomes the hindrance of Cs+ adsorption by competing ions and realizes highly selective capture of Cs+ in complex environments. It shows successful cleanup for actual 137Cs-liquid-wastes generated during industrial production with removal rates of over 99%. Ion-exchange column filled with FJMS-KCGTS can efficiently treat 540 mL Cs+-containing solutions (31.995 mg·L-1) and generates only 0.12 mL of solid waste, which enables waste solution volume reduction. Single-crystal structural analysis and density functional theory calculations are used to visualize the "ion-imprinting" process and confirm that the "imprinting effect" originates from the spatially confined effect of the framework. This work clearly reveals radiocesium capture mechanism and structure-function relationships that could inspire the development of efficient inorganic adsorbents for selective recognition and separation of key radionuclides.

Cost-utility analysis of add-on vericiguat for the treatment of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in China.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the cost-utility of the addition of vericiguat for treating chronic heart failure (CHF) in China from the healthcare payer's perspective. METHODS: A Markov model was built to estimate the cost and utility of treating CHF using vericiguat plus standard treatment (vericiguat group) vs. standard treatment alone (standard treatment group). The clinical parameters (mortality of cardiovascular and hospitalization rate of HF) were calculated according to the VICTORIA clinical trial. The HF cost and utility data were obtained from the literature published in China. One-way sensitivity analysis and probability sensitivity analysis were performed. RESULTS: According to the 13-year model, vericiguat was more expensive (155599.07 CNY vs. 259396.83 CNY) and more effective (4.41 QALYs vs. 4.54 QALYs). The incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) was 802389.27 CNY per QALY. One-way sensitivity analysis revealed that cardiovascular mortality in the two groups was the parameter that had the greatest impact on the results. The GDP per capita in 2022 in China was 85,700 CNY. The probability sensitivity analysis (PSA) showed that the probability of vericiguat being cost-effective was only 41.7% at the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of 3 times GDP per capita (257,100 CNY). CONCLUSIONS: In China, the treatment of CHF with vericiguat is not cost-effective. The drug price could decrease to 145.8 CNY, which could be considered cost-effective.

Research progress of post-acute sequelae after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

SARS-CoV-2 has spread rapidly worldwide and infected hundreds of millions of people worldwide. With the increasing number of COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals, the emergence of its associated complications, sequelae, has become a new global health crisis secondary to acute infection. For the time being, such complications and sequelae are collectively called "Post-acute sequelae after SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC)", also referred to as "long COVID" syndrome. Similar to the acute infection period of COVID-19, there is also heterogeneity in PASC. This article reviews the various long-term complications and sequelae observed in multiple organ systems caused by COVID-19, pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of PASC, aiming to raise awareness of PASC and optimize management strategies.

Knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward tuberculosis in high school students in Qingdao, China.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study is to assess the levels of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) related to TB, and to analyze the differences among various demographic groups. METHODOLOGY: A total of 621 students enrolled in Qingdao High School, coming from high TB burden settings. The cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July of 2022. Participants completed an online questionnaire. Differences in knowledge and practice based on participant characteristics were analyzed using the Wilcoxon rank test and Kruskal-Wallis rank test. Group differences were assessed using a rank-based analysis of variance. RESULTS: The mean percentage of correct answers for TB knowledge and practice was 82.09% and 83.25%, respectively. Grade Three students showed higher knowledge and practice scores than Grade One or Grade Two students (t = -3.9935, p = 0.0002, t = 3.4537, p = 0.0018. 8.58 vs 7.94, 8.58 vs 8.23. t = 3.4562, p = 0.0018, t = -2.8688, p = 0.0128. 1.78 vs 1.61, 1.78 vs 1.64). A significant majority (78.42%) of students expressed fear of being affected by TB. 49.28% of the students would support and help TB patients. 88.08% of participants had heard of TB, with 72.94% learning about it at school, mainly through visual aids like posters. Information was predominantly obtained from online sources (websites, microblogs, WeChat, etc.). CONCLUSIONS: It is recommended to develop a TB curriculum for lower-grade students to enhance awareness of TB prevention through various means, including the internet and social media.

Comparative transcriptome analysis provides insights into the resistance regulation mechanism and inhibitory effect of fungicide phenamacril in Fusarium asiaticum.

Fusarium asiaticum is a destructive phytopathogenic fungus that causes Fusarium head blight of wheat (FHB), leading to serious yield and economic losses to cereal crops worldwide. Our previous studies indicated that target-site mutations (K216R/E, S217P/L, or E420K/G/D) of Type I myosin FaMyo5 conferred high resistance to phenamacril. Here, we first constructed one sensitive strain H1S and three point mutation resistant strains HA, HC and H1R. Then we conducted comparative transcriptome analysis of these F. asiaticum strains after 1 and 10 µg·mL-1 phenamacril treatment. Results indicated that 2135 genes were differentially expressed (DEGs) among the sensitive and resistant strains. The DEGs encoding ammonium transporter MEP1/MEP2, nitrate reductase, copper amine oxidase 1, 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, amino-acid permease inda1, succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoic acid decarboxylase, etc., were significantly up-regulated in all the phenamacril-resistant strains. Compared to the control group, a total of 1778 and 2097 DEGs were identified in these strains after 1 and 10 µg·mL-1 phenamacril treatment, respectively. These DEGs involved in 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, chitin synthase 1, multiprotein-bridging factor 1, transcriptional regulatory protein pro-1, amino-acid permease inda1, ATP-dependent RNA helicase DED1, acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase, sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2, etc., showed significantly down-regulated expression in phenamacril-sensitive strain but not in resistant strains after phenamacril treatment. In addition, cyanide hydratase, mating-type protein MAT-1, putative purine nucleoside permease, plasma membrane protein yro2, etc., showed significantly co-down-regulated expression in all the strains after phenamacril treatment. Taken together, This study provides deep insights into the resistance regulation mechanism and the inhibitory effect of fungicide phenamacril and these new annotated proteins or enzymes are worth for the discovery of new fungicide targets.
