| 1 | Efficient synthesis of lithium rare-earth tetrafluoride nanocrystals via a continuous flow method显示文摘As an important upconversion illuminant material, LiREF4 nanocrystals were efficiently synthesized in a continuous reactor with the assistant of a new precursor solution. The employed trioctylamine solvent in the solution had a strong interaction with HF, and helped to avoid the generation of unnecessary solid components as LiF and NH4REF4 during the reaction. A silicon carbide reactor was developed to carry out the synthesis reaction, where LiYF4:Yb,Er/Ho/Tm quickly nucleated in 5 min at 300℃. The reaction time to successfully prepare 15 nm sized nanocrystals was less than 30 min, and the space-time yield of the flow synthesis method was 14.8 times that of a control group batch reaction. The prepared nanocrystals had a strong illuminant ability, which could find its use in the area of security mark printing. | Jinsong Sui Junyu Yan Kai Wang Guangsheng Luo | 2020 | Nano Research2020,13,10: | 4 |
| 2 | Comparative transcriptional analysis provides insights of possible molecular mechanisms of wing polyphenism induced by postnatal crowding in Aphis gossypii显示文摘Background:Aphis gossypii is a worldwide sap-sucking pest with a variety of hosts and a vector of more than 50 plant viruses.The strategy of wing polyphenism,mostly resulting from population density increasing,contributes to the evolutionary success of this pest.However,the related molecular basis remains unclear.Here,we identified the effects of postnatal crowding on wing morph determination in cotton aphid,and examined the transcriptomic differences between wingless and wing morphs.Results:Effect of postnatal crowding on wing determination in A gossypii was evaluated firstly.Under the density of 5 nymphs·cm-2,no wing aphids appeared.Proportion of wing morphs rised with the increase of density in a certain extent,and peaked to 56.1% at the density of 20 nymphs·cm-2,and reduced afterwards.Then,transcriptomes of wingless and wing morphs were assembled and annotated separately to identify potentially exclusively or differentially expressed transcripts between these two morphs,in which 3 126 and 3 392 unigenes annotated in Nr(Non-redundant protein sequence) database were found in wingless or wing morphs exclusively.Moreover,3 187 up-and 1 880 down-regulated genes were identified in wing versus wingless aphid.Pathways analysis suggested the involvement of differentially expressed genes in multiple cellular signaling pathways involved in wing morphs determination,including lipid catabolic and metabolism,insulin,ecdysone and juvenile hormone biosynthesis.The expression levels of related genes were validated by the reverse transcription quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR) soon afterwards.Conclusions:The present study identified the effects of postnatal crowding on wing morphs induction and demonstrated that the critical population density for wing morphs formation in A gossypii was 20 nymphs·cm-2.Comparative transcriptome analysis provides transcripts potentially expressed exclusively in wingless or wing morph,respectively.Differentially expressed genes between wingless and wing morphs were identified and several signaling pathways potentially involved in cotton aphid wing differentiation were obtained. | JI Jichao ZHANG Shuai LUO Junyu WANG Li ZHU Xiangzhen ZHANG Kaixin ZHANG Lijuan CUI Jinjie | 2019 | Journal of Cotton Research2019,2,3: | 3 |
| 3 | Emission source-based ozone isopleth and isosurface diagrams and their significance in ozone pollution control strategies显示文摘In the past decade,ozone(O_(3))pollution has been continuously worsening in most developing countries.The accurate identification of the nonlinear relationship between O_(3) and its precursors is a prerequisite for formulating effective O_(3) control measures.At present,precursor-based O_(3) isopleth diagrams are widely used to infer O_(3) control strategy at a particular location.However,there is frequently a large gap between the O_(3)-precursor nonlinearity delineated by the O_(3) isopleths and the emission source control measures to reduce O_(3) levels.Consequently,we developed an emission source-based O_(3) isopleth diagram that directly illustrates the O_(3) level changes in response to synergistic control on two types of emission sources using a validated numerical modeling system and the latest regional emission inventory.Isopleths can be further upgraded to isosurfaces when co-control on three types of emission sources is investigated.Using Guangzhou and Foshan as examples,we demonstrate that similar precursor-based O_(3) isopleths can be associated with significantly different emission source co-control strategies.In Guangzhou,controlling solvent use emissions was the most effective approach to reduce peak O_(3) levels.In Foshan,co-control of on-road mobile,solvent use,and fixed combustion sources with a ratio of 3:1:2 or 3:1:3 was best to effectively reduce the peak O_(3) levels below 145 ppbv.This study underscores the importance of using emission source-based O_(3) isopleths and isosurface diagrams to guide a precursor emission control strategy that can effectively reduce the peak O_(3) levels in a particular area. | Huihong Luo Kaihui Zhao Zibing Yuan Leifeng Yang Junyu Zheng Zhijiong Huang Xiaobo Huang | 2021 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2021,33,7: | 3 |
| 4 | Neuroligins Differentially Mediate Subtype-Specific Synapse Formation in Pyramidal Neurons and Interneurons显示文摘Neuroligins(NLs) are postsynaptic cell-adhesion proteins that play important roles in synapse formation and the excitatory-inhibitory balance. They have been associated with autism in both human genetic and animal model studies, and affect synaptic connections and synaptic plasticity in several brain regions. Yet current research mainly focuses on pyramidal neurons, while the function of NLs in interneurons remains to be understood. To explore the functional difference among NLs in the subtypespecific synapse formation of both pyramidal neurons and interneurons, we performed viral-mediated shRNA knockdown of NLs in cultured rat cortical neurons and examined the synapses in the two major types of neurons. Our results showed that in both types of neurons, NL1 and NL3 were involved in excitatory synapse formation, and NL2 in GABAergic synapse formation. Interestingly, NL1 affectedGABAergic synapse formation more specifically than NL3,and NL2 affected excitatory synapse density preferentially in pyramidal neurons. In summary, our results demonstrated that different NLs play distinct roles in regulating the development and balance of excitatory and inhibitory synapses in pyramidal neurons and interneurons. | Qiang-Qiang Xia Jing Xu Tai-Lin Liao Jie Yu Lei Shi Jun Xia Jian-Hong Luo Junyu Xu | 2019 | Neuroscience Bulletin2019,35,3: | 2 |
| 5 | Spatiotemporal Mapping of Salt Marshes in the Intertidal Zone of China during 1985-2019显示文摘This study mapped the areal extent,identified the species composition,and analyzed the changes of salt marshes in the intertidal zone of China during the period 1985–2019.With the aid of the cloud platform of the Google Earth Engine,we selected Landsat 5/8 and Sentinel-2 images and used the support vector machine classification method to extract salt marsh information for the years of 1985,1990,1995,2000,2005,2010,2015,and 2019.Seven major species of salt marshes:Phragmites australis,Suaeda spp.,Spartina alterniflora,Scirpus mariqueter,Tamarix chinensis,Cyperus malaccensis,and Sesuvium portulacastrum were identified.Our results showed that salt marshes are mainly distributed in Liaoning,Shandong,Jiangsu,Shanghai,and Zhejiang,with varying patterns of shrinking,expansion,or wavering in different places.The distribution of salt marshes has declined considerably from 151,324 ha in 1985 to 115,397 ha in 2019,a drop of 23.7%.During the same period,the area of native species has dropped 95.4%from 77,741 ha to 3,563 ha for Suaeda spp.and 45.1%from 60,511 ha to 33,193 ha for P.australis;on the contrary,the area of exotic species,S.alterniflora,has exhibited a sharp rise from just 99 ha to 67,527 ha.For the past 35 years,the driving factors causing salt marsh changes are mainly land reclamation,variations in water and sand fluxes,and interspecific competition and succession of salt marsh vegetation.These results provide fundamental reference information and could form the scientific basis for formulating policies for the conservation and utilization of salt marsh resources in China. | Guangwei Chen Runjie Jin Zhanjiang Ye Qi Li Jiali Gu Min Luo Yongming Luo George Christakos James Morris Junyu He Dan Li Hengwei Wang Li Song Qiuxuan Wang Jiaping Wu | 2022 | Journal of Remote Sensing2022,,1: | 2 |
| 6 | Insights into wing dimorphism in worldwide agricultural pest and hostalternating aphid Aphis gossypii显示文摘Background:The worldwide pest Aphis gossypii has three-winged morphs in its life cycle,namely,winged parthenogenetic female(WPF),winged gynopara(GP),and winged male,which are all produced by a wingless parthenogenetic female(WLPF).Most studies on A.gossypii have focused on WPF,while few have investigated GP and male.The shared molecular mechanism underlying the wing differentiation in the three wing morphs of A.gossypii remains unknown.The wing differentiation of WPF was explored in a previous study.Herein,GP and male were induced indoors.The characters of the body,internal genitals,wing veins,and fecundity of GP and male were compared with those of WPF or WLPF.Compared with WLPF,the shared and separate differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified in these three-wing morphs.Results:Newly-born nymphs reared in short photoperiod condition(8 L:16D,18°C)exclusively produced gynoparae(GPe)and males in adulthood successively,in which the sex ratio was GP biased.A total of 14 GPe and 9 males were produced by one mother aphid.Compared with WLPF,the three-wing morphs exhibited similar morphology and wing vein patterns but were obviously discriminated in the length of fore-and underwings,reproductive system,and fecundity.A total of 37090 annotated unigenes were obtained from libraries constructed using the four morphs via RNA sequencing(RNA-Seq).In addition,10867 and 19334 DEGs were identified in the pairwise comparison of GP versus WLPF and male versus WLPF,respectively.Compared with WLPF,the winged morphs demonstrated 2335 shared DEGs(1658 upregulated and 677 downregulated).The 1658 shared upregulated DEGs were enriched in multiple signaling pathways,including insulin,FoxO,MAPK,starch and sucrose metabolism,fatty acid biosynthesis,and degradation,suggesting their key roles in the regulation of wing plasticity in the cotton aphid.Forty-four genes that spanned the range of differential expression were chosen to validate statistical analysis based on RNA-Seq through the reverse transcription quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).The comparison concurred with the expression pattern(either up-or downregulated)and supported the accuracy and reliability of RNA-Seq.Finally,the potential roles of DEGs related to the insulin signaling pathway in wing dimorphism were discussed in the cotton aphid.Conclusions:The present study established an efficiently standardized protocol for GP and male induction in cotton aphid by transferring newly-born nymphs to short photoperiod conditions(8 L:16D,18°C).The external morphological characters,especially wing vein patterns,were similar among WPFs,GPe,and males.However,their reproductive organs were strikingly different.Compared with WLPF,shared(2335)and exclusively(1470 in WLPF,2419 in GP,10774 male)expressed genes were identified in the three-wing morphs through RNA-Seq,and several signaling pathways that are potentially involved in their wing differentiation were obtained,including insulin signaling,starch and sucrose metabolism. | JI Jichao HUANGFU Ningbo LUO Junyu GAO Xueke NIU Lin ZHANG Shuai CUI Jinjie | 2021 | Journal of Cotton Research2021,4,1: | 2 |
| 7 | Efficiency of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera Hübner) control of different Bt cotton varieties in North China显示文摘Background: The cotton bollworm(Helicoverpa armigera) is one of cotton's most destructive insect pests in terms of yield and quality. Since 1997, China has grown commercially available transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt) cotton. We aimed to investigate the variation in resistance of transgenic Bt cotton varieties to cotton bollworm in North China.Methods: Populations of cotton bollworm were monitored from 2008 to 2015 in environments where Bt cotton was planted adjacent to other non-Bt crops. The study included 197 Bt cotton varieties planted in 42 counties/locations in three provinces(Hebei, Shandong and Henan) of North China, which were evaluated through field investigations,bioassays, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays(ELISA).Results: The average number of cotton bollworms never exceeded the action threshold(10 larvae per 100 cotton plants), however, their number reached 19.55 per 100 cotton plants in 2011. The ratios of damaged plants to total Bt cotton stem-tips, buds, and bolls was low except in 2010, when the ratios reached 1.82%, 2.09%, and 10.63%,respectively. The results of bioassay showed that the corrected mortality were higher at the second generation cotton bollworm stage than the third and fourth germination stages. Totally, Bt protein content declined sharply at the seedling stage from 2008 to 2015.Conclusions: This study indicated that almost all Bt cotton varieties were capable to effectively control the populations of cotton bollworm in North China. | Lü Limin LUO Junyu ZHANG Shuai YU Qianlin MA Ligang LIU Xiaofeng WANG Chunyi MA Xiaoyan MA Yan CUI Jinjie | 2018 | Journal of Cotton Research2018,1,1: | 1 |
| 8 | Effects of NaCl stress on the biochemical substances in Bt cotton as well as on the growth and development and adult oviposition selectivity of Helicoverpa armigera显示文摘Background:Recently,due to the development of food security strategies,cotton has been planted in inland saline-alkali dry soils or in coastal some saline-alkali soils in China.Under the condition,to comprehensively prevent and control Helicoverpa armigera in cotton fields with saline-alkali soils,it is important to study the larval growth and development of H.armigero and to study adult oviposition selectivity in H.armigera adults that feed on NaCI-stNaCled cotton plants.Results:In this study,Bt cotton GK19 was used for the experimental group and its nontransgenic parent Simian 3 was used for the control to study the effects of biochemical substances in cotton as well as larval growth and development and adult oviposition selectivity of H.armigera.The experiments were performed by growing cotton indoors under NaCl stress at concentrations of 0 mmol-L-1,75 mmol-L-1 and 150 mmol-L-1,respectively.The results showed that the expression of Bt protein was significantly inhibited for NaCI-stressed Bt cotNaClThe content of soluble protein and K+ in the leaves of cotton were decreased,while the content of gossypol and Na+were increased.In addition,the 5th instar H.armigera larvae exhibited shorten the life span in a 13-day trial period.Under enclosure treatments and at different female densities,the adult oviposition of H.armigera decreased on high NaCI-stressed nontransgenic coNaCl,while the oviposition on Bt cotton tended to first increase but then decrease under low,moderate and high NaCl stress treatments.Conclusions:Under certain content ranges of NaCl stress treatments,larval of H.armigera growth and development,and adult oviposition were no significant difference in the change for a certain period.However,under high NaCl stress,larval growth,development and adult oviposition were affected,which may provide insights for the prevention and control of H.armigero for Bt cotton in saline-alkali soils. | LUO Junyu ZHANG Shuai ZHU Xiangzhen JI Jichao ZHANG Kaixin WANG Chunyi ZHANG Lijuan WANG Li CUI Jinlie | 2019 | Journal of Cotton Research2019,2,1: | 1 |

| 12 | Haemorrhage risk of brain arteriovenous malformation during pregnancy and puerperium显示文摘Background This study aimed to assess whether pregnancy and puerperium were associated with the risk of brain arteriovenous malformation(bAVM)haemorrhage.Methods A retrospective review was conducted in Xiangya Hospital,Central South University from January 2012 to December 2021.A case-crossover design was adopted to calculate the incidence density of bAVM-related haemorrhage among female patients in risk(pregnancy and puerperium)and control(non-pregnancy and non-puerperium)periods,according to four scenarios observed in different populations scenario I:patients with haemorrhagic bAVM of all ages;scenario II:patients with haemorrhagic bAVM of all ages,with at least one previous pregnancy;scenario III:patients with haemorrhagic bAVM who are of reproductive age(15-45 years);scenario IV:patients with haemorrhagic bAVM of reproductive age(15-45 years),with at least one previous pregnancy.Next,a comprehensive literature aggregation(up to April 2022)was performed for evidence synthesis.Results Among the 311 female patients with haemorrhagic bAVM,a significant haemorrhage risk during pregnancy and puerperium was found in Scenarios I(relative risk[RR],2.08;95%CI,1.28 to 3.39),II(RR,3.21;95%CI,1.95 to 5.31)and IV(RR,2.92;95%CI,1.73 to 4.93);however,a suggestive risk was found in scenario III(RR,1.62;95%CI,0.99 to 2.67).Evidence synthesis revealed a consistent haemorrhage risk among patients of all ages(RR,3.15;95%CI,1.93 to 5.15)and those of reproductive age(RR,1.29;95%CI,0.89 to 1.86).Conclusion Compared with most previous studies,a higher but relatively moderate risk for bAVM-related haemorrhage was identified during pregnancy and puerperium.Individualised prevention and treatment strategies should be preferred when neurosurgeons make clinical decisions. | Junyu Liu Honghao Zhang Chun Luo Yuxin Guo Yifeng Li Dun Yuan Weixi Jiang Junxia Yan | 2023 | Stroke & Vascular Neurology2023,8,4: | 1 |
| 13 | Retrospective Case Series on The Enduring Rotational Stability of The AcrySof IQ Toric Intraocular Lens in Cataract Patients Suffering from Myopia显示文摘Objective:To analyze the enduring rotational steadiness of AcrySof IQ Toric intraocular lens(IOL)in cataract patients suffering from myopia in a long-term study.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on a case series involving 78 patients.A total of 120 eyes with an axial length(AL)ranging from 24-30 mm and corneal astigmatism≥1.50 D underwent implantation of AcrySof IQ Toric IOL guided by the version navigation system.The eyes were divided into two groups based on AL.Group A included 60 eyes with high myopia(AL≥26 mm),while Group B consisted of eyes with low to moderate myopia(24 mm≤AL<26 mm).Data on the preoperative AL were collected.Measurements were taken for residual astigmatism,the best corrected visual acuity(BCDVA),corneal astigmatism,and IOL rotation occurring between 24-and 48-months post-surgery.The percentage of eyes with an IOL rotation of under 5°and 10°was analyzed.Results:The mean length of follow-up times was recorded as 34.27±4.98,and the average rotation was 2.73±1.29°.Group A exhibited a slightly higher average rotation of 2.87±1.31°,compared to the rotation of 2.59±1.27°observed in Group B.At both the 24-36 month and 26-48 month post-operation marks,the degree of IOL rotation did not show a statistically significant difference between the two groups,with none of the patients experiencing a rotation exceeding 10°(P>0.05).The percentage of rotation degrees under 5°was recorded as 98.22%.After the procedure,the BCDVA was 0.1322±0.03 LogMAR.There was a substantial increase in theχvalue after the operation as compared to the pre-operativeχ^(2) value(χ^(2)=76.79).The standard deviation of preoperative corneal astigmatism was statistically significant(P<0.05)at 2.17±1.08 D.Following the surgical procedure,the remaining astigmatism was measured at 0.41±0.26 D.The data showed a notable gap in statistical significance(t=4.281,P<0.05).Conclusion:The AcrySof Toric IOL was a reliable solution for managing corneal astigmatism in cataract patients with myopia,demonstrating excellent long-term rotational stability. | Jie Luo Yang Liu Bing Wang Lei Li Junyu Yang | 2024 | Journal of Clinical and Nursing Research2024,8,3: | 0 |
| 14 | Endogenous reverse transcriptase and RNase H-mediated antiviral mechanism in embryonic stem cells显示文摘Nucleic acid-based systems play important roles in antiviral defense,including CRISPR/Cas that adopts RNA-guided DNA cleavage to prevent DNA phage infection and RNA interference(RNAi)that employs RNA-guided RNA cleavage to defend against RNA virus infection.Here,we report a novel type of nucleic acid-based antiviral system that exists in mouse embryonic stem cells(mESCs),which suppresses RNA virus infection by DNA-mediated RNA cleavage.We found that the viral RNA of encephalomyocarditis virus can be reverse transcribed into complementary DNA(vcDNA)by the reverse transcriptase(RTase)encoded by endogenous retrovirus-like elements in mESCs.The vcDNA is negative-sense single-stranded and forms DNA/RNA hybrid with viral RNA.The viral RNA in the heteroduplex is subsequently destroyed by cellular RNase H1,leading to robust suppression of viral growth. | Junyu Wu Chunyan Wu Fan Xing Liu Cao Weijie Zeng Liping Guo Ping Li Yongheng Zhong Hualian Jiang Manhui Luo Guang Shi Lang Bu Yanxi Ji Panpan Hou Hong Peng Junjiu Huang Chunmei Li Deyin Guo | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,9: | 0 |
| 15 | Crystallography of low Z material at ultrahigh pressure:Case study on solid hydrogen显示文摘Diamond anvil cell techniques have been improved to allow access to the multimegabar ultrahigh-pressure region for exploring novel phenomena in condensedmatter.However,the onlyway to determine crystal structures of materials above 100 GPa,namely,X-ray diffraction(XRD),especially for lowZ materials,remains nontrivial in the ultrahigh-pressure region,even with the availability of brilliant synchrotron X-ray sources.In thiswork,we performa systematic study,choosing hydrogen(the lowest X-ray scatterer)as the subject,to understand how to better perform XRD measurements of low Z materials at multimegabar pressures.The techniques that we have developed have been proved to be effective in measuring the crystal structure of solid hydrogen up to 254GPa at room temperature[C.Ji et al.,Nature 573,558–562(2019)].Wepresent our discoveries and experienceswith regard to several aspects of thiswork,namely,diamond anvil selection,sample configuration for ultrahigh-pressure XRDstudies,XRDdiagnostics for low Z materials,and related issues in data interpretation and pressure calibration.Webelieve that these methods can be readily extended to other low Z materials and can pave the way for studying the crystal structure of hydrogen at higher pressures,eventually testing structural models of metallic hydrogen. | Cheng Ji Bing Li Wenjun Liu Jesse S.Smith Alexander Bjoorling Arnab Majumdar Wei Luo Rajeev Ahuja Jinfu Shu Junyue Wang Stanislav Sinogeikin Yue Meng Vitali B.Prakapenka Eran Greenberg Ruqing Xu Xianrong Huang Yang Ding Alexander Soldatov Wenge Yang Guoyin Shen Wendy L.Mao Ho-Kwang Mao | 2020 | Matter and Radiation at Extremes2020,5,3: | 0 |
| 16 | Development of functional antibodies against influenza B virus by activation-induced cytidine deaminase in hybridoma cells显示文摘Dear Editor,Influenza B viruses(IBVs)have circulated among humans for more than 80 years.Seasonal influenza virus epidemics caused by two IBV lines(Victoria and Yamagata)and influenza A virus have considerable effects on public health globally and result in approximately290,000–650,000 annual influenza-attributed deaths(Caini et al.,2015;Pan et al.,2015).Currently,the most effective countermeasures against influenza B virus infections are influenza virus vaccines(Subbarao and Matsuoka,2013).However,these vaccines have limited efficacy because only strain-matched humoral immune responses are induced. | Yuanzhi Chen Chenguang Shen Jing Chen Junyu Chen Fentian Chen Limin Zhang Xue Liu Siyuan Chen Sen Xue Yongliang Liu Jixian Tang Quan Yuan Yixin Chen Wenxin Luo Ningshao Xia | 2022 | Virologica Sinica2022,37,4: | 0 |
| 17 | Functional characterization of novel NPRL3 mutations identified in three families with focal epilepsy显示文摘Focal epilepsy accounts for 60% of all forms of epilepsy, but the pathogenic mechanism is not well understood. In this study,three novel mutations in NPRL3(nitrogen permease regulator-like 3), c.937_945del, c.1514dup C and 6,706-bp genomic DNA(g DNA) deletion, were identified in three families with focal epilepsy by linkage analysis, whole exome sequencing(WES) and Sanger sequencing. NPRL3 protein is a component of the GATOR1 complex, a major inhibitor of m TOR signaling. These mutations led to truncation of the NPRL3 protein and hampered the binding between NPRL3 and DEPDC5, which is another component of the GATOR1 complex. Consequently, the mutant proteins enhanced m TOR signaling in cultured cells, possibly due to impaired inhibition of m TORC1 by GATOR1. Knockdown of nprl3 in Drosophila resulted in epilepsy-like behavior and abnormal synaptic development. Taken together, these findings expand the genotypic spectrum of NPRL3-associated focal epilepsy and provide further insight into how NPRL3 mutations lead to epilepsy. | Shiyue Du Sheng Zeng Li Song Hongying Ma Rui Chen Junyu Luo Xu Wang Tingbin Ma Xuan Xu Hao Sun Ping Yi Jifeng Guo Yaling Huang Mugen Liu Tao Wang Wei-Ping Liao Luoying Zhang Jing Yu Liu Beisha Tang | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023,66,9: | 0 |
| 18 | Mechanisms of PiT2-loop7 Missense Mutations Induced Pi Dyshomeostasis显示文摘PiT2 is an inorganic phosphate(Pi)transporter whose mutations are linked to primary familial brain calcification(PFBC).PiT2 mainly consists of two ProDom(PD)domains and a large intracellular loop region(loop7).The PD domains are crucial for the Pi transport,but the role of PiT2-loop7 remains unclear.In PFBC patients,mutations in PiT2-loop7 are mainly nonsense or frameshift mutations that probably cause PFBC due to C-PD1131 deletion.To date,six missense mutations have been identified in PiT2-loop7;however,the mechanisms by which these mutations cause PFBC are poorly understood.Here,we found that the p.T390A and p.S434W mutations in PiT2-loop7 decreased the Pi transport activity and cell surface levels of PiT2.Furthermore,we showed that these two mutations attenuated its membrane localization by affecting adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)-or protein kinase B(AKT)-mediated PiT2 phosphorylation.In contrast,the p.S121C and p.S601W mutations in the PD domains did not affect PiT2 phosphorylation but rather impaired its substrate-binding abilities.These results suggested that missense mutations in PiT2-loop7 can cause Pi dyshomeostasis by affecting the phosphorylation-regulated cell-surface localization of PiT2.This study helps understand the pathogenesis of PFBC caused by PiT2-loop7 missense mutations and indicates that increasing the phosphorylation levels of PiT2-loop7 could be a promising strategy for developing PFBC therapies. | Hao Sun Xuan Xu Junyu Luo Tingbin Ma Jiaming Cui Mugen Liu Bo Xiong Shujia Zhu Jing-Yu Liu | 2023 | Neuroscience Bulletin2023,39,1: | 0 |
| 19 | Dynamics and diversity of symbiotic bacteria in Apolygus lucorum at different developmental stages显示文摘Background Apolygus lucorum is a worldwide omnivorous pest damaging a range of crops and causing great economic losses.Symbiotic bacteria living in insects play a key role in the nutrition,physiology,and behavior of hosts.Here,we present an experiment using Illumina HiSeq sequencing targeting the V3–V4 regions of bacteria’s 16S rRNA throughout the entire life cycle of A.lucorum.Results The first and second instar nymphs have the largest alpha diversity compared with other life stages of the insect.Bacterial phyla Proteobacteria(72.29%),Firmicutes(15.24%),Actinobacteria(7.76%)exhibit the largest relative abundance in all developmental stages.Erwinia(23.97%)and Lactococcus(10.62%)are the two genera with the high-est relative abundance.The relative abundance of Erwinia in the nymph stage is significantly greater than the adult stage,and the relative abundance of Lactococcus in 6-day-old and 9-day-old adult females is higher compared with adult males.Conclusions These results reveal that microbial community composition and relative abundance shift dynamically at different life stages,implying that different bacterial phyla and genera may have specific roles in specific life stages such as metabolism,nutrition absorption,detoxification,and reproduction.This study reveals for the first time the community composition and ecological dynamics of symbiotic bacteria throughout the life stages of A.lucorum,and thus may provide insight to new strategies for pest control. | XUE Hui ZHU Xiangzhen WANG Li ZHANG Kaixin LI Dongyang JI Jichao NIU Lin GAO Xueke LUO Junyu CUI Jinjie | 2023 | Journal of Cotton Research2023,6,1: | 0 |
| 20 | Impact assessment of genetically modified herbicide-tolerant cotton on arthropod communities显示文摘Background:Cotton(Gossypium spp.)is one of the most important economic crops worldwide,and its production plays an important role in the economy of many countries.Genetically modified herbicide-tolerant(GMHT)crops,which were developed to minimize the losses caused by weeds,have gradually become the most widely adopted genetically modified crops in the world due to their economic and environmental benefits.However,the potential ecological and environmental risks of GMHT crops have attracted extensive attention and controversy.Arthropod communities form a promine nt part of the biodiversity of agroecosystems and are important indicators of environmental health.Elucidating the effects of GMHT crops on the diversity of arthropod communities is necessary to ensure the safety of GMHT crops.Result:In this 2-year study,we investigated the potential impact of GMHT crops on arthropod communities.The GMHT cotton variety GGK2 with glyphosate tolerance and its near-isogenic non-GMHT variety K312 were used for the experimental groups.The Shannon diversity index(H),Simpson diversity index(D),Pielou evenness index(J),and principal co-ordinates analysis(PCoA)of the Bray-Curtis distance were used to evaluate the population dynamics and biodiversity of arthropods in cotton fields.No significant differences were found between GGK2 and K312 in their total abundance of arthropod communities,and biodiversity indexes on most sampling dates.The arthropod composition in the GGK2 and K312 plots was similar.Sampling elates had a significant effect on biodiversity indexes,whereas no clear tendencies related to cotton variety or cotton variety x sampling elates interaction were recorded.In addition,PCoA revealed high similarity between the arthropod communities in the plots of the GMHT cotton variety GGK2 and its near-isogenic variety K312.Conclusion:There was no obvious difference in abundance,diversity indexes of arthropod communities between GMHT cotto n variety GGK2 and its near-isogenic variety K312 under the small-scale plan ting regime. | LI Dongyang ZHU Xiangzhen ZHANG Kaixin WANG Li ZHANG Rui LIANG Chengzhen LUO Junyu CUI Jinjie | 2022 | Journal of Cotton Research2022,5,2: | 0 |
