The cotton MYB33 gene is a hub gene regulating the trade-off between plant growth and defense in Verticillium dahliae infection.

INTRODUCTION: Sessile plants engage in trade-offs between growth and defense capacity in response to fluctuating environmental cues. MYB is an important transcription factor that plays many important roles in controlling plant growth and defense. However, the mechanism behind how it keeps a balance between these two physiological processes is still largely unknown. OBJECTIVES: Our work focuses on the dissection of the molecular mechanism by which GhMYB33 regulates plant growth and defense. METHODS: The CRISPR/Cas9 technique was used to generate mutants for deciphering GhMYB33 functions. Yeast two-hybrid, luciferase complementary imaging, and co-immunoprecipitation assays were used to prove that proteins interact with each other. We used the electrophoretic mobility shift assay, yeast one-hybrid, and luciferase activity assays to analyze GhMYB33 acting as a promoter. A ß-glucuronidase fusion reporter and 5' RNA ligase mediated amplification of cDNA ends analysis showed that ghr-miR319c directedly cleaved the GhMYB33 mRNA. RESULTS: Overexpressing miR319c-resistant GhMYB33 (rGhMYB33) promoted plant growth, accompanied by a significant decline in resistance against Verticillium dahliae. Conversely, its knockout mutant, ghmyb33, demonstrated growth restriction and concomitant augmentation of V. dahliae resistance. GhMYB33 was found to couple with the DELLA protein GhGAI1 and bind to the specific cis-elements of GhSPL9 and GhDFR1 promoters, thereby modulating internode elongation and plant resistance in V. dahliae infection. The ghr-miR319c was discovered to target and suppress GhMYB33 expression. The overexpression of ghr-miR319c led to enhanced plant resistance and a simultaneous reduction in plant height. CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that GhMYB33 encodes a hub protein and controls the expression of GhSPL9 and GhDFR1, implicating a pivotal role for the miR319c-MYB33 module to regulate the trade-offs between plant growth and defense.

Genetic diagnosis of microcephaly / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of chromosome karyotype analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole exome sequencing (WES) in microcephaly.Methods:A total of 9 cases of microcephaly fetuses diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound or children with microcephaly diagnosed after birth were selected from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2014 to August 2022.Karyotype analysis and/or CMA were used to detect. The cases with negative karyotype analysis and CMA results were further sequenced by trio-based WES (Trio-WES). Then the coding genes contained in the pathogenic copy number variation (CNV) fragments were analyzed by gene ontology (GO) enrichment. The genes related to the development of the central nervous system contained in the pathogenic CNV and the pathogenic genes found by Trio-WES were combined for gene interaction network analysis.Results:In this study, 9 cases of microcephaly were recruited, with the time of diagnosis ranged from 23 weeks of gestation to 7 years after birth, and the head circumference of fetus or children ranged from 18.3 to 42.5 cm (-7SD to -2SD). Karyotype analysis was detected in all 9 cases and no abnormality result was found. Eight cases were detected by CMA, and one abnormal was found. Five cases were detected by Trio-WES, and two cases were detected with likely pathogenic genes. The GO enrichment analysis of the coding gene in the 4p16.3 microdeletion (pathogenic CNV) region showed that: in biological process, it was mainly concentrated in phototransduction, visible light; in terms of molecular function, it was mainly concentrated in fibroblast growth factor binding; in terms of cell components, it was mainly concentrated in rough endoplasmic reticulum. Gene interaction network analysis suggested that CDC42 gene could interact with CTBP1, HTT and ASPM gene.Conclusions:CMA could be used as a first-line detection technique for microcephaly. When the results of chromosome karyotype analysis and/or CMA are negative, Trio-WES could improve the detection rate of pathogenicity of microcephaly.

Prenatal genetic diagnosis of the fetuses with isolated corpus callosum abnormality / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective:To explore the application value of chromosome karyotype analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole exome sequencing (WES) in prenatal diagnosis of isolated corpus callosum abnormality (CCA) fetus.Methods:Fetuses diagnosed with isolated CCA by ultrasound and MRI and receiving invasive prenatal diagnosis in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center and Qingyuan People′s Hospital from January 2010 to April 2021 were selected. Karyotype analysis and/or CMA [or copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq)] were performed on all fetal samples, and WES was performed on fetal samples and their parents whose karyotype analysis and/or CMA (or CNV-seq) results were not abnormal.Results:Among 65 fetuses with isolated CCA, 38 cases underwent karyotype analysis, and 3 cases were detected with abnormal karyotypes, with a detection rate of 8% (3/38). A total of 49 fetuses with isolated CCA underwent CMA (or CNV-seq) detection, and 6 cases of pathogenic CNV were detected, the detection rate was 12% (6/49). Among them, the karyotype analysis results were abnormal, and the detection rate of further CMA detection was 1/1. The karyotype results were normal, and the detection rate of further CMA (or CNV-seq) detection was 14% (3/21). The detection rate of CMA as the first-line detection technique was 7% (2/27). A total of 25 fetuses with isolated CCA with negative results of karyotyping and/or CMA were tested by WES, and 9 cases (36%, 9/25) were detected with pathogenic genes. The gradient genetic diagnosis of chromosomal karyotyping, CMA and WES resulted in a definite genetic diagnosis of 26% (17/65) of isolated CCA fetuses.Conclusions:Prenatal genetic diagnosis of isolated CCA fetuses is of great clinical significance. The detection rate of CMA is higher than that of traditional karyotyping. CMA detection could be used as a first-line detection technique for fetuses with isolated CCA. WES could increase the pathogenicity detection rate of fetuses with isolated CCA when karyotype analysis and/or CMA test results are negative.

IFN-γ inhibits acute allergic airway inflammation in mice / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of IFN-γ on acute allergic airway inflammation induced by IL-33 in mice.Methods Twenty-four female C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks) were randomly divided into four groups: IL-33 model group, IFN-γ treatment group, IL-33+IFN-γ treatment group and PBS control group.A mouse model of acute allergic airway inflammation was induced by IL-33.Samples of bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissues were collected.Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and eosinophils were analyzed by flow cytometry.Levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in the supernatants of lung homogenate and BALF were measured by ELISA.Expression of IL-5, IL-13 and ST2 at mRNA level was detected by real-time PCR.Pathological changes in lung tissues were observed following hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining.Results Compared with the PBS control group, no infiltration with inflammatory cells, goblet cell hyperplasia or mucus secretion was observed in the IFN-γ group;the numbers of ILC2s and eosinophils were not affected by IFN-γ;the levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in the supernatants of BALF and lung homogenate, and the expression of IL-5, IL-13 and ST2 at mRNA level in lung tissues were not significantly changed by IFN-γ (P>0.05).Compared with the PBS control group, massive infiltration with inflammatory cells, excessive mucus secretion, increased numbers of ILC2s and eosinophils, up-regulated levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in the supernatants of BALF and lung homogenate, and enhanced expression of IL-5, IL-13 and ST2 at mRNA level in lung tissues were detected in the IL-33 model group (P<0.05).Compared with the IL-33 model group, the combined treatment with IL-33 and IFN-γ significantly alleviated inflammatory cell infiltration, inhibited mucus secretion, reduced the numbers of ILC2s and eosinophils, down-regulated the levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in the supernatants of BALF and lung homogenate, and suppressed the expression of IL-5, IL-13 and ST2 at mRNA in lung tissues (P<0.05).Conclusion IFN-γ can inhibit the proliferation of eosinophils and ILC2s induced by IL-33, and reduce the secretion of IL-5 and IL-13, which indicates that IFN-γ has an inhibitory effect on acute allergic airway inflammation induced by IL-33 in mice.

Repaglinide effected on proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of pre-osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 subclone 14 cell in hyperglycemia condition / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective This study examined the effects of repaglinide on the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of mouse pre-osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 subclone 14 cell under high glucose condition.Methods MC3T3-E1 cells cultured in vitro for 48h were divided into the following groups: control group and repaglinide with different concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 μmol/L).Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay.mRNA levels of type I collagen(COL-Ⅰ), osteopontin(OPN) and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) were assayed using quantitative real-time PCR.Expression of apoptosis related proteins (Bcl-2, Bax) was measured by western blot analysis.Results (1)Compared with control group, the proliferation rate of repaglinide with different concentrations increased, while the proliferation rate of the 1 μmol/L repaglinide group significantly higher than that of the control group(P0.05).Compared with control group, the OPN and ALP mRNA expression increased significantly in the 1 μmol/L repaglinide group(P<0.05), while the OPN expression was significantly declined in the 10 μmol/L repaglinide group(P<0.05).(3)The protein expression of Bcl-2 was positively related with repaglinide concentration(P<0.05), while the protein expression of Bax went down in the 1 and 10 μmol/L repaglinide groups(P<0.05).Conclusion When exposed to high glucose concentration, repaglinide in a certain concentration range may promote the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 subclone 14, while restrain its apoptosis.

Effects of cholesterol-lowering probiotics on the metabolism of bile acid in a rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the possible mechanism / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To investigate the effects of two cholesterol-lowering probiotics, DM9054 (Lac-tobacillus Rhamnosus GG, LGG) in combination with 86066 (Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1, LP), on the metabolism of bile acid via a rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the possible mecha-nism. Methods Twenty-one SD male rats were randomly divided into three groups including control group, NAFLD model group and probiotics intervention group. Rats in the control group received normal diet. The rat model of NAFLD was established by feeding rats with chronic high fat diet (45% of calories derived from fat di-et) for 20 weeks. Rats in the probiotics intervention group were given high fat diet together with cholesterol-low-ering probiotics through oral gavage. General indexes of each group including body weight and the levels of tri-glyceride, cholesterol and CK18-M30 in serums samples were detected. The expression of cholesterol 7-alpha hydroxy-lase (CYP7A1), fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4), farnesoid X receptor (FXR), fibroblast grwoth factor 15 (FGF15) and apical sodium-dependent bile acid transparter(ASBT) at mRNA level were de-tected by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression of CYP7A1, FXR in liver tissues and ASBT in ileum tissues. The expression of FXR in liver and ileum tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Results Rats with NAFLD showed loss of body weight and decreased levels of the serological markers after treating with the probiotics (P0. 05). Conclusion Probiotics intervention might up-regulate the expression of CYP7A1 by suppressing the FXR path-way in liver tissues and inhibiting the expression of ASBT in ileum tissues. Treating NAFLD rats with cholester-ol-lowering probiotics could activate the FXR-FGF15 pathway in ileum tissues and enhance the metabolism of bile acid, which contributed to the alleviation of NAFLD.

Effects of lactitol and Bifidobacterium infantis on AQP3 and ICC in a rat model of constipation / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To analyze the roles and mechanisms of lactitol and Bifidobacterium infantis in the treatment of rat constipation and to investigate their effects on aquaporin3 (AQP3) and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in colon tissues.Methods Thirty SD male rats were recruited in this study,6 of which were randomly selected as the control and the rest were given 4 mg/kg.d of loperamide for 5 consecutive days to construct the rat model of constipation.The rats with constipation were randomly divided into four groups including model group,lactitol treatment group,Bifidobacterium infantis treatment group and lactitol in combination with Bifidobacterium infantis treatment group.General indexes including food intake,water intake,body weight,fecal water content and intestinal transit rate of each rat were measured after receiving corresponding treatments for 7 consecutive days.The levels of substance P (SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in serums samples were detected by ELISA.The expression of protein kinase A (PKA) and neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1) at mRNA level in colon tissues were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR).Western blot assay and real-time PCR analysis were used to detect the expression of AQP3 and c-kit at protein and mRNA levels,respectively.Results Compared with the rats in model group,the levels of fecal water content and intestinal transit rate,the concentrations of SP and VIP in serums samples,the expression of PKA and NK-1 at mRNA level and the expression of AQP3 and c-kit at mRNA and protein levels were significantly increased in rats from the three treatment groups (P＜0.05).The most effective treatment was lactitol in combination with Bifidobacterium infantis,followed by the lactitol treatment and then the Bifidobacterium infantis treatment.Conclusion The combination therapy with lactitol and Bifidobacterium infantis increased the serum levels of SP and VIP in rats with constipation.SP could enhance the contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscles and improve the intestinal motility by binding to the NK-1 receptor on the membrane of ICC.VIP could promote the absorption of water in intestinal tracts,soften stools and alleviate constipation by upregulating the expression of AQP3 at both protein and mRNA levels via the cyclic adenosine monophosphate-PKA (cAMP-PKA) signaling pathway.
