Molecular mechanism of TRIM32 in antiviral immunity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

TRIM family proteins are widely found in multicellular organisms and are involved in a wide range of life activities, and also act as crucial regulators in the antiviral natural immune response. This study aimed to reveal the molecular mechanism of rainbow trout TRIM protein in the anti-IHNV process. The results demonstrated that 99.1% homology between the rainbow trout and the chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) TRIM32. When rainbow trout were infected with IHNV, the TRIM32 was highly expressed in the gill, spleen, kidney and blood. Meanwhile, rainbow trout TRIM32 has E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and undergoes K29-linked polyubiquitination modifications dependent on the RING structural domain was determined by immunoprecipitation. TRIM32 could interact with the NV protein of IHNV and degrade NV protein through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and was also able to activate NF-κB transcription, thereby inhibiting the replication of IHNV. Moreover, the results of the animal studies showed that the survival rate of rainbow trout overexpressing TRIM32 was 70.2% which was significantly higher than that of the control group, and stimulating the body to produce high levels of IgM when the host was infected with the virus. In addition, TRIM32 can activate the NF-κB signalling pathway and participate in the antiviral natural immune response. The results of this study will help us to understand the molecular mechanism of TRIM protein resistance in rainbow trout, and provide new ideas for disease resistance breeding, vaccine development and immune formulation development in rainbow trout.

Numerical Study on Fluid Flow Behavior and Heat Transfer Performance of Porous Media Manufactured by a Space Holder Method.

The velocity field and temperature field are crucial for metal foams to be used as a heat exchanger, but they are difficult to obtain through physical experiments. In this work, the fluid flow behavior and heat transfer performance in open-cell metal foam were numerically studied. Porous 3D models with different porosities (55-75%) and pore sizes (250 µm, 550 µm, and 1000 µm) were created based on the porous structure manufactured by the Lost Carbonate Sintering method. A wide flow velocity range from 0.0001 m/s to 0.3 m/s, covering both laminar and turbulent flow regimes, is fully studied for the first time. Pressure drop, heat transfer coefficient, permeability, form drag coefficient, temperature and velocity distributions were calculated. The calculated results agree well with our previous experimental results, indicating that the model works well. The results showed that pressure drop increased with decreasing porosity and increasing pore size. Permeability increased and the form drag coefficient decreased with increasing porosity, and both increased with increasing pore size. The heat transfer coefficient increased with increasing velocity and porosity, whereas it slightly decreased with increasing pore size. The results also showed that at high velocity, only the metal foam close to the heat source contributes to heat dissipation.

Predictive model for totally implanted venous access ports­related long­term complications in patients with lung cancer.

Totally implanted venous access ports (TIVAPs), which are typically used in oncological chemotherapy and parenteral nutritional support, are convenient and safe, and thus offer patients a higher quality of life. However, insertion or removal of the device requires a minor surgical operation. Long-term complications (>30 days post insertion), such as catheter migration, catheter-related thrombosis and infection, are major reasons for TIVAP removal and are associated with a number of factors such as body mass index and hemoglobin count. Since management of complications is typically time-consuming and costly, a predictive model of such events may be of great value. Therefore, in the present study, a predictive model for long-term complications following TIVAP implantation in patients with lung cancer was developed. After excluding patients with a large amount of missing data, 902 patients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University (Nanjing, China) were ultimately included in the present study. Of the included patients, 28 had complications, indicating an incidence rate of 3.1%. Patients were randomly divided into training and test cohorts (7:3), and three machine learning-based anomaly detection algorithms, namely, the Isolation Forest, one-class Support Vector Machines (one-class SVM) and Local Outlier Factor, were used to construct a model. The performance of the model was initially evaluated by the Matthew's correlation coefficient (MCC), area under curve (AUC) and accuracy. The one-class SVM model demonstrated the highest performance in classifying the risk of complications associated with the use of the intracavitary electrocardiogram method for TIVAP implantation in patients with lung cancer (MCC, 0.078; AUC, 0.62; accuracy, 66.0%). In conclusion, the predictive model developed in the present study may be used to improve the early detection of TIVAP-related complications in patients with lung cancer, which could lead to the conservation of medical resources and the promotion of medical advances.

IFRD1 promotes tumor cells "low-cost" survival under glutamine starvation via inhibiting histone H1.0 nucleophagy.

Glutamine addiction represents a metabolic vulnerability of cancer cells; however, effective therapeutic targeting of the pathways involved remains to be realized. Here, we disclose the critical role of interferon-related developmental regulator 1 (IFRD1) in the adaptive survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells during glutamine starvation. IFRD1 is induced under glutamine starvation to inhibit autophagy by promoting the proteasomal degradation of the key autophagy regulator ATG14 in a TRIM21-dependent manner. Conversely, targeting IFRD1 in the glutamine-deprived state increases autophagy flux, triggering cancer cell exhaustive death. This effect largely results from the nucleophilic degradation of histone H1.0 and the ensuing unchecked increases in ribosome and protein biosynthesis associated with globally enhanced chromatin accessibility. Intriguingly, IFRD1 depletion in preclinical HCC models synergizes with the treatment of the glutaminase-1 selective inhibitor CB-839 to potentiate the effect of limiting glutamine. Together, our findings reveal how IFRD1 supports the adaptive survival of cancer cells under glutamine starvation, further highlighting the potential of IFRD1 as a therapeutic target in anti-cancer applications.

Low energy consumption pathway to improve sulfamethoxazole degradation by carbon fiber@Fe3O4-CuO: Electrocatalysis activity, mechanism and toxicity.

Catalysts play a pivotal role in advanced oxidation processes for the remediation of organic wastewater. In this study, a 3D carbon fiber@Fe3O4-CuO catalyst was fabricated, and its efficacy for persulfate activation to remove sulfamethoxazole (SMX) was investigated at extremely low current density. The results of characterization revealed that the catalyst was uniformly distributed on the carbon fiber, and the loaded catalyst was Fe3O4-CuO nanoparticles with a diameter range of 20-50 nm. The SMX removal rate was significantly enhanced at extremely low current density by the metallic oxide catalyst loaded on carbon fiber. Approximately 90 % of SMX was degraded within 90 min when the electric current density was set at 0.1 mA cm-2. This modification process not only improved the persulfate activation efficiency but also enhanced the generation of hydrogen peroxide. Both radical and non-radical pathways were involved in the degradation of SMX. The degradation pathway mainly included hydroxylation, carboxylation, aniline cleavage, and desulfonation reactions. The quantitative structure-activity relationship model indicated that the potential risk of intermediate products to fish, daphnia, and green algae significantly decreased during the electrocatalytic oxidation process. This study provides a novel strategy for persulfate activation, which can significantly enhance the degradation efficiency, toxicity abatement, and energy usage effectiveness of electrocatalytic technology.

The long noncoding RNA HNF1A-AS1 with dual functions in the regulation of cytochrome P450 3A4.

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is the most important and abundant drug-metabolizing enzyme in the human liver. Inter-individual differences in the expression and activity of CYP3A4 affect clinical and precision medicine. Increasing evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in the regulation of CYP3A4 expression. Here, we showed that lncRNA hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha-antisense 1 (HNF1A-AS1) exerted dual functions in regulating CYP3A4 expression in Huh7 and HepG2 cells. Mechanistically, HNF1A-AS1 served as an RNA scaffold to interact with both protein arginine methyltransferase 1 and pregnane X receptor (PXR), thereby facilitating their protein interactions and resulting in the transactivation of PXR and transcriptional alteration of CYP3A4 via histone modifications. Furthermore, HNF1A-AS1 bound to the HNF1A protein, a liver-specific transcription factor, thereby blocking its interaction with the E3 ubiquitin ligase tripartite motif containing 25, ultimately preventing HNF1A ubiquitination and protein degradation, further regulating the expression of CYP3A4. In summary, these results reveal the novel functions of HNF1A-AS1 as the transcriptional and post-translational regulator of CYP3A4; thus, HNF1A-AS1 may serve as a new indicator for establishing or predicting individual differences in CYP3A4 expression.

Purine Metabolic Pathway Alterations and Serum Urate Changes after Oral Inosine Loading in Male Chinese Volunteers.

BACKGROUND: Oral inosine loading is a new method to evaluate the effects of purine on urate metabolism. However, individuals respond differently to acute purine intake, and the effects on the metabolism of other purines remain to be explored. METHODS: 35 male participants are recruited. Participants received 500 mg of inosine orally after an overnight fast, and blood and urine samples are collected before and at various time points over 180 min after inosine administration. RESULTS: The serum urate concentration is significantly different between the hyperuricemia (n = 14) and non-hyperuricemia (n = 16) groups before inosine intake, but there is no in urate change after inosine intake. When grouped according to the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the increase in urate level in the high-eGFR group is significantly higher than that in the low-eGFR group (p  =  0.047). The high-eGFR group showed higher levels of serum xanthine and xanthine oxidase (XOD), the key enzyme in urate synthesis, after inosine loading (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The increase in urate level is positively related to eGFR after oral acute inosine administration, which may have been due to a higher level of XOD.

Pathogenicity of duck circovirus 1 in experimentally infected specific pathogen-free ducks.

Ducks infected with duck circovirus (DuCV) show symptoms such as feather loss, growth retardation and low body weight in the flock. The virus induces immunosuppression and increases the prevalence of infection with other pathogens. However, most studies on duck circovirus were focused on coinfection, and fewer studies had been conducted on the pathogenicity of duck circovirus alone. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pathogenesis of DuCV-1 in experimentally infected specific pathogen-free ducks. In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of a strain of duck circovirus and identified the virus genotype as DuCV-1b. This strain of duck circovirus was named SDLH(OR567883). Animal pathogenicity experiments were then conducted, wherein specific pathogen-free ducks were infected by mucosal injection and abdominal injection. Infected ducks were sampled for 4 consecutive weeks after infection and showed symptoms of dwarfism. We further examined the replication of DuCV-1 in the ducks. The highest virus titers in the 2 infection groups were found in the liver and spleen, with different results for the different routes of infection. Pathological sections of duck organs were made and it was found that organs such as the liver and spleen were damaged by DuCV-1. In conclusion, our experimental results indicate that DuCV-1 can infect ducks individually and cause widespread organ damage in infected ducks.

Tailoring the Activity of Electrocatalytic Methanol Oxidation on Cobalt Hydroxide by the Incorporation of Catalytically Inactive Zinc Ions.

Catalytically inactive Zn2+ is incorporated into cobalt hydroxide to synthesize hierarchical ZnCo-layered double hydroxide nanosheet networks supported on carbon fiber (ZnCo-LDH/CF). The incorporation of Zn2+ is revealed to endow ZnCo-LDH/CF with significantly superior performance in the aspects of the activity and selectivity for methanol electrooxidation to formic acid and the boosting effect for cathodic hydrogen production compared with the counterpart without Zn2+. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals that the incorporation of nonactive Zn2+ can increase the density of states near the Fermi level of LDH (i.e., elevate electrical conductivity to form favorable charge transportation during electrocatalysis) and promote the adsorption and subsequent cleavage of methanol, thus leading to the enhanced methanol electrooxidation performance.

High-Glucose-Induced Injury to Proximal Tubules of the Renal System Is Alleviated by Netrin-1 Suppression of Akt/mTOR.

The kidneys have a high level of Netrin-1 expression, which protects against some acute and chronic kidney disorders. However, it is yet unknown how Netrin-1 affects renal proximal tubule cells in diabetic nephropathy (DN) under pathological circumstances. Research has shown that autophagy protects the kidneys in animal models of renal disease. In this study, we looked at the probable autophagy regulation mechanism of Netrin-1 and its function in the pathogenesis of DN. We proved that in HK-2 cell, high blood sugar levels caused Netrin-1 to be downregulated, which then triggered the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and enhanced cell death and actin cytoskeleton disruption. By adding Netrin-1 or an autophagy activator in vitro, these pathogenic alterations were reverted. Our results indicate that Netrin-1 stimulates autophagy by blocking the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, which underlies high-glucose-induced malfunction of the renal proximal tubules. After HK-2 cells were incubated with Netrin-1 recombination protein and rapamycin under HG conditions for 24 h, the apoptosis was significantly reduced, as shown by the higher levels of Bcl-2, as well as lower levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 (P = 0.012, Cohen's d = 0.489, Glass's delta = 0.23, Hedges' g = 0.641). This study reveals that targeting Netrin-1-related signaling has therapeutic potential for DN and advances our knowledge of the processes operating in renal proximal tubules in DN.

Azadirachtin Inhibits Nuclear Receptor HR3 in the Prothoracic Gland to Block Larval Ecdysis in the Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda.

Azadirachtin has been used to control agricultural pests for a long time; however, the molecular mechanism of azadirachtin on lepidopterans is still not clear. In this study, the fourth instar larvae of fall armyworm were fed with azadirachtin, and then the ecdysis was blocked in the fourth instar larval stage (L4). The prothoracic glands (PGs) of the treated larvae were dissected for RNA sequencing to determine the effect of azadirachtin on ecdysis inhibition. Interestingly, one of the PG-enriched genes, the nuclear hormone receptor 3 (HR3), was decreased after azadirachtin treatment, which plays a critical role in the 20-hydroxyecdysone action during ecdysis. To deepen the understanding of azadirachtin on ecdysis, the HR3 was knocked out by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, while the HR3 mutants displayed embryonic lethal phenotype; thus, the stage-specific function of HR3 during larval molting was not enabled to unfold. Hence, the siRNA was injected into the 24 h L4 larvae to knock down HR3. After 96 h, the injected larvae were blocked in the old cuticle during ecdysis which is consistent with the azadirachtin-treated larvae. Taken together, we envisioned that the inhibition of ecdysis in the fall armyworm after the azadirachtin treatment is due to an interference with the expression of HR3 in PG, resulting in larval mortality. The results in this study specified the understanding of azadirachtin on insect ecdysis and the function of HR3 in lepidopteran in vivo.

Plant immunity suppression by an exo-ß-1,3-glucanase and an elongation factor 1α of the rice blast fungus.

Fungal cell walls undergo continual remodeling that generates ß-1,3-glucan fragments as products of endo-glycosyl hydrolases (GHs), which can be recognized as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and trigger plant immune responses. How fungal pathogens suppress those responses is often poorly understood. Here, we study mechanisms underlying the suppression of ß-1,3-glucan-triggered plant immunity by the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. We show that an exo-ß-1,3-glucanase of the GH17 family, named Ebg1, is important for fungal cell wall integrity and virulence of M. oryzae. Ebg1 can hydrolyze ß-1,3-glucan and laminarin into glucose, thus suppressing ß-1,3-glucan-triggered plant immunity. However, in addition, Ebg1 seems to act as a PAMP, independent of its hydrolase activity. This Ebg1-induced immunity appears to be dampened by the secretion of an elongation factor 1 alpha protein (EF1α), which interacts and co-localizes with Ebg1 in the apoplast. Future work is needed to understand the mechanisms behind Ebg1-induced immunity and its suppression by EF1α.

Electrochemical detection of glycoproteins using boronic acid-modified metal-organic frameworks as dual-functional signal reporters.

The sensitive analysis of glycoproteins is of great importance for early diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. In this work, a sandwich-type electrochemical aptasensor was developed for the detection of glycoproteins using 4-formylphenylboric acid (FPBA)-modified Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (FPBA-Cu-MOFs) as dual-functional signal probes. The target captured by the aptamer-modified electrode allowed the attachment of FPBA-Cu-MOFs based on the interaction between boronic acid and glycan on glycoproteins. Large numbers of Cu2+ ions in FPBA-Cu-MOFs produced an amplified signal for the direct voltammetric detection of glycoproteins. The electrochemical aptasensor showed a detection limit as low as 6.5 pg mL-1 for prostate specific antigen detection. The method obviates the use of antibody and enzymes for molecular recognition and signal output. The dual-functional MOFs can be extended to the design of other biosensors for the determination of diol-containing biomolecules in clinical diagnosis.

The diapause-like colorectal cancer cells induced by SMC4 attenuation are characterized by low proliferation and chemotherapy insensitivity.

In response to adverse environmental conditions, embryonic development may reversibly cease, a process termed diapause. Recent reports connect this phenomenon with the non-genetic responses of tumors to chemotherapy, but the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Here, we establish a multifarious role for SMC4 in the switching of colorectal cancer cells to a diapause-like state. SMC4 attenuation promotes the expression of three investment phase glycolysis enzymes increasing lactate production while also suppressing PGAM1. Resultant high lactate levels increase ABC transporter expression via histone lactylation, rendering tumor cells insensitive to chemotherapy. SMC4 acts as co-activator of PGAM1 transcription, and the coordinate loss of SMC4 and PGAM1 affects F-actin assembly, inducing cytokinesis failure and polyploidy, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation. These insights into the mechanisms underlying non-genetic chemotherapy resistance may have significant implications for the field, advancing our understanding of aerobic glycolysis functions in tumor and potentially informing future therapeutic strategies.

Hepatic vessel segmentation based on 3D swin-transformer with inductive biased multi-head self-attention.

PURPOSE: Segmentation of liver vessels from CT images is indispensable prior to surgical planning and aroused a broad range of interest in the medical image analysis community. Due to the complex structure and low-contrast background, automatic liver vessel segmentation remains particularly challenging. Most of the related researches adopt FCN, U-net, and V-net variants as a backbone. However, these methods mainly focus on capturing multi-scale local features which may produce misclassified voxels due to the convolutional operator's limited locality reception field. METHODS: We propose a robust end-to-end vessel segmentation network called Inductive BIased Multi-Head Attention Vessel Net(IBIMHAV-Net) by expanding swin transformer to 3D and employing an effective combination of convolution and self-attention. In practice, we introduce voxel-wise embedding rather than patch-wise embedding to locate precise liver vessel voxels and adopt multi-scale convolutional operators to gain local spatial information. On the other hand, we propose the inductive biased multi-head self-attention which learns inductively biased relative positional embedding from initialized absolute position embedding. Based on this, we can gain more reliable queries and key matrices. RESULTS: We conducted experiments on the 3DIRCADb dataset. The average dice and sensitivity of the four tested cases were 74.8[Formula: see text] and 77.5[Formula: see text], which exceed the results of existing deep learning methods and improved graph cuts method. The Branches Detected(BD)/Tree-length Detected(TD) indexes also proved the global/local feature capture ability better than other methods. CONCLUSION: The proposed model IBIMHAV-Net provides an automatic, accurate 3D liver vessel segmentation with an interleaved architecture that better utilizes both global and local spatial features in CT volumes. It can be further extended for other clinical data.

NIPSNAP1 directs dual mechanisms to restrain senescence in cancer cells.

BACKGROUND: Although the executive pathways of senescence are known, the underlying control mechanisms are diverse and not fully understood, particularly how cancer cells avoid triggering senescence despite experiencing exacerbated stress conditions within the tumor microenvironment. METHODS: Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic screening was used to identify differentially regulated genes in serum-starved hepatocellular carcinoma cells and RNAi employed to determine knockdown phenotypes of prioritized genes. Thereafter, gene function was investigated using cell proliferation assays (colony-formation, CCK-8, Edu incorporation and cell cycle) together with cellular senescence assays (SA-ß-gal, SAHF and SASP). Gene overexpression and knockdown techniques were applied to examine mRNA and protein regulation in combination with luciferase reporter and proteasome degradation assays, respectively. Flow cytometry was applied to detect changes in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and in vivo gene function examined using a xenograft model. RESULTS: Among the genes induced by serum deprivation, NIPSNAP1 was selected for investigation. Subsequent experiments revealed that NIPSNAP1 promotes cancer cell proliferation and inhibits P27-dependent induction of senescence via dual mechanisms. Firstly, NIPSNAP1 maintains the levels of c-Myc by sequestering the E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXL14 to prevent the proteasome-mediated turnover of c-Myc. Intriguingly, NIPSNAP1 levels are restrained by transcriptional repression mediated by c-Myc-Miz1, with repression lifted in response to serum withdrawal, thus identifying feedback regulation between NIPSNAP1 and c-Myc. Secondly, NIPSNAP1 was shown to modulate ROS levels by promoting interactions between the deacetylase SIRT3 and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). Consequent activation of SOD2 serves to maintain cellular ROS levels below the critical levels required to induce cell cycle arrest and senescence. Importantly, the actions of NIPSNAP1 in promoting cancer cell proliferation and preventing senescence were recapitulated in vivo using xenograft models. CONCLUSIONS: Together, these findings reveal NIPSNAP1 as an important mediator of c-Myc function and a negative regulator of cellular senescence. These findings also provide a theoretical basis for cancer therapy where targeting NIPSNAP1 invokes cellular senescence.

Sestrin2-mediated disassembly of stress granules dampens aerobic glycolysis to overcome glucose starvation.

Sestrins are a small gene family of pleiotropic factors whose actions promote cell adaptation to a range of stress conditions. In this report we disclose the selective role of Sestrin2 (SESN2) in dampening aerobic glycolysis to adapt to limiting glucose conditions. Removal of glucose from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells inhibits glycolysis associated with the downregulation of the rate-limiting glycolytic enzyme hexokinase 2 (HK2). Moreover, the accompanying upregulation of SESN2 through an NRF2/ATF4-dependent mechanism plays a direct role in HK2 regulation by destabilizing HK2 mRNA. We show SESN2 competes with insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) for binding with the 3'-UTR region of HK2 mRNA. Interactions between IGF2BP3 and HK2 mRNA result in their coalescence into stress granules via liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), a process which serves to stabilize HK2 mRNA. Conversely, the enhanced expression and cytoplasmic localization of SESN2 under glucose deprivation conditions favors the downregulation of HK2 levels via decreases in the half-life of HK2 mRNA. The resulting dampening of glucose uptake and glycolytic flux inhibits cell proliferation and protect cells from glucose starvation-induced apoptotic cell death. Collectively, our findings reveal an intrinsic survival mechanism allowing cancer cells to overcome chronic glucose shortages, also providing new mechanistic insights into SESN2 as an RNA-binding protein with a role in reprogramming of cancer cell metabolism.
