1p53 upregulated by HIF-la promotes hypoxiainduced G2/M arrest and renal fibrosis in vitro and in vivo显示文摘Hypoxia plays an important role in the genesis and progression of renal fibrosis.The underlying mechanisms, however, have not been sufficiently elucidated. We examined the role of p53 in hypoxia-induced renal fibrosis in cell culture (human and rat renal tubular epithelial cells) and a mouse unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model. Cell cycle of tubular cells was determined by flow cytometry, and the expression of profibrogenic factors was determined by RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter experiments were performed to explore the effect of HIF-lα on p53 expression. We showed that, in hypoxic tubular cells, p53 upregulation suppressed the expression of CDK1 and cyclins Bl and DI, leading to cell cycle (G2/M) arrest (or delay) and higher expression of TGF-β, CTGF, collagens, and fibronectin. p53 suppression by siRNA or by a specific p53 inhibitor (PIF-α) triggered opposite effects preventing the G2/M arrest and profibrotic changes. In vivo experiments in the UUO model revealed similar antifibrotic results following intraperitoneal administration of PIF-α(2.2 mg/kg). Using gain-of-function, loss-of-function, and luciferase assays, we further identified an HRE3 region on the p53 promoter as the HIF-lα-binding site. The HIF-la-HRE3 binding resulted in a sharp transcriptional activation of p53. Collectively, we show the presence of a hypoxia-activated, p53-responsive profibrogenic pathway in the kidney. During hypoxia, p53 upregulation induced by HIF-la suppresses cell cycle progression, leading to the accumulation of G2/M cells, and activates profibrotic TGF-β and CTGF-mediated signaling pathways, causing extracellular matrix production and renal fibrosis.Limin Liu Peng Zhang Ming Bai Lijie He Lei Zhang Ting Liu Zhen Yang Menglu Duan Minna Liu Baojian Liu Rui Du Qi Qian Shiren Sun 2019Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2019,11,5:18
2Response of the sediment geochemistry of the Changjiang River(Yangtze River) to the impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam显示文摘Based on the measurement of major and trace elements in suspended sediments in the low reaches of the Changjiang River during throughout a whole hydrologic year, the origins, seasonal variations, and fluxes of multielements and the human impacts on multielements transport processes have been analyzed along with the influence of weathering in the Changjiang River basin. The results show that most element contents were high in both autumn and winter and low in summer, which was largely caused by the dilution of discharge. Weathering detritus in the Changjiang River basin is the main source of most elements in suspended sediments. However, riverine pollution could bring more loadings of Cd, Pb, As and Zn into river water than it did a few decades ago. The annual average fluxes of Cd, Pb and Zn, which are major contamination elements, to the sea were 179 ± 21 tons/year, 7810 ± 675 tons/year, and 12,000 ± 1320 tons/year,respectively, in which approximately 8.7%, 11.9% and 2.7% of their loadings, respectively,were contributed by pollution inputs. Element exports mainly occurred in the summer(44.4%–57.4%) in the lower part of the Changjiang River. A general relationship between sediment retention and element content suggests a positive feedback mechanism for the decreased number of particles, in which element riverine loadings are reduced due to the enhanced trapping effect by the Three Gorges Dam(TGD). Compared to those in 1980,current element shares of the Changjiang River compared to the global budget have declined due to the construction of the TGD.Hao Wang Xiangbin Ran Jingxi Li Jun Liu Wentao Wu Menglu Li Jiaye Zang 2019Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,9:6
3Evolution and Domestication Footprints Uncovered from the Genomes of Coix显示文摘Coix lacryma-jobi,a plant species closely related to Zea and Sorghum,is an important food and medicinal crop in Asia.However,no reference genome of this species has been reported,and its exact phylogeny within the Andropogoneae remains unresolved.Here,we generated a high-quality genome assembly of coix comprising~1.73 Gb with 44485 predicted protein-coding genes.We found coix to be a typical diploid plant with an overall 1-to-1 syntenic relationship with the Sorghum genome,despite its drastic genome expansion(~2.3-fold)due mainly to the activity of transposable elements.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that coix diverged with sorghum~10.41 million years ago,which was~1.49 million years later than the divergence between sorghum and maize.Resequencing of 27 additional coix accessions revealed that they could be unambiguously separated into wild relatives and cultivars,and suggested that coix experienced a strong genetic bottleneck,resulting in the loss of about half of the genetic diversity during domestication,even though many traits have remained undomesticated.Our data not only provide novel comparative genomic and evolutionary insights into the Andropogoneae lineage,but also an important resource that will greatly benefit molecular breeding of this important crop.Hongbing Liu Junpeng Shi Zexi Cai Yumin Huang Menglu Lv Huilong Du Qiang Gao Yi Zuo Zhaobin Dong Wei Huang Rui Qin Chengzhi Liang Jinsheng Lai Weiwei Jin 2020Molecular Plant2020,13,2:4
4Preliminary Analysis of Diesel-Degrading Bacteria Immobilized on Organic Carriers in Seawater显示文摘Oil pollution in marine environment is becoming increasingly serious. Oil bioremediation by immobilization technology has been widely studied. However, the effect of bacteria immobilization was limited because of lack of nutrients. In this paper, the organic materials(corn straw, corn cob and corn leaf) were used as carriers. The diesel removal rate achieved by the immobilized bacteria was studied, and the effects of nutrients(e.g. nitrogen and phosphorus) released from organic carriers to the immobilized bacteria were analyzed. Test results indicated that a certain amount of nutrients was released from organic carriers. Additionally, the diesel removal rates achieved by different immobilized bacteria were all higher than those achieved by free bacteria. And, the diesel removal rates achieved by bacteria decreased in the following order: bacteria immobilized on corn straw(79%), bacteria immobilized on corn leaf(70%) and bacteria immobilized on corn cob(43%). These findings indicated two aspects, viz.: the carriers porous structure and the nutrients, which were favorable to biodegradation. Finally, the changes in nitrogen and phosphorus contents that were released from different carriers during biodegradation were studied. The results showed that the rate of diesel biodegradation was fast in the initial phase because of the sufficient nutrients released from carriers. Meanwhile, in the final phase, the rate of diesel biodegradation was relatively slow because of few nutrients released from carriers.Liu Zhixiu Xue Jianliang Wu Yanan Li Menglu Sun Xiyu Cui Hao Cheng Lijie Gao Yu Xiao Xinfeng 2017China Petroleum Processing & Petrochemical Technology2017,19,2:4

6Multiplex detection of KRAS and BRAF mutations using cationic conjugated polymers显示文摘The mutation detections of KRAS and BRAF genes are of significant importance to predict the responses to anti-cancer therapy and develop new drugs. In this paper, we developed a multi-step fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay for multiplex detection of KRAS and BRAF mutations using cationic conjugated polymers (CCP). The newly established detection system could detect as low as 2% mutant DNAs in DNA admixtures. By triggering the emission intensity change of CCP and the dyes labeled in the DNA, four possible statuses (three mutations and one wildtype) can be differentiated in one extension reaction. The detection efficiency of this new method in clinical molecular diagnosis was validated by determining KRAS and BRAF mutations of 51 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) ovary tissue samples. Furthermore, the result of the CCP-based multi-step FRET assay can be directly visualized under UV light so that no expensive instruments and technical expertise are needed. Thus, the assay provides a sensitive, reliable, cost-effective and simple method for the detection of disease-related gene mutations.XING BaoLing SONG JinZhao GE SuMei TANG ZhengHua LIU MengLu YANG Qiong Lü FengTing LIU LiBing WANG Shu 2013Chinese Science Bulletin2013,58,8:1
7Band degeneracy enhanced thermoelectric performance in layered oxyselenides by first-principles calculations显示文摘Band degeneracy is effective in optimizing the power factors of thermoelectric(TE)materials by enhancing the Seebeck coefficients.In this study,we demonstrate this effect in model systems of layered oxyselenide family by the density functional theory(DFT)combined with semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory.TE transport performance of layered LaCuOSe and BiCuOSe are fully compared.The results show that due to the larger electrical conductivities caused by longer electron relaxation times,the n-type systems show better TE performance than p-type systems for both LaCuOSe and BiCuOSe.Besides,the conduction band degeneracy of LaCuOSe leads to a larger Seebeck coefficient and a higher optimal carrier concentration than n-type BiCuOSe,and thus a higher power factor.The optimal figure of merit(ZT)value of 1.46 for n-type LaCuOSe is 22%larger than that of 1.2 for n-type BiCuOSe.This study highlights the potential of wide band gap material LaCuOSe for highly efficient TE applications,and demonstrates that inducing band degeneracy by cations substitution is an effective way to enhance the TE performance of layered oxyselenides.Ning Wang Menglu Li Haiyan Xiao Zhibin Gao Zijiang Liu Xiaotao Zu Sean Li Liang Qiao 2021npj Computational Materials2021,,1:1
8Measurement of small vibration by laser interferometer显示文摘The method and experimental results of measuring a small vibrating displacement by laser interferometer are introduced in this paper. The dynamic response of a new kind of tiny piezoelectric driver is detected. Results show that this kind of PZN-PZT tiny driver not only has high voltage-displacement sensitivity, but also its frequency response approaches to 1 kHz.Therefore this kind of piezoelectric driver can be used widely in many fields.QIAN Menglu, LIU Hewei (Institute of Acoustics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092) 2003声学技术2003,22,z1:0
9Simvastatin Blocks Reinstatement of Cocaine-induced Conditioned Place Preference in Male Mice with Brain Lipidome Remodeling显示文摘Drug-associated reward memories are conducive to intense craving and often trigger relapse.Simvastatin has been shown to regulate lipids that are involved in memory formation but its influence on other cognitive processes is elusive.Here,we used a mass spectrometry-based lipidomic method to evaluate the impact of simvastatin on the mouse brain in a cocaine-induced reinstatement paradigm.We found that simvastatin blocked the reinstatement of cocaine-induced conditioned place preference(CPP)without affecting CPP acquisition.Specifically,only simvastatin administered during extinction prevented cocaine-primed reinstatement.Global lipidome analysis showed that the nucleus accumbens was the region with the greatest degree of change caused by simvastatin.The metabolism of fatty-acids,phospholipids,and triacylglycerol was profoundly affected.Simvastatin reversed most of the effects on phospholipids induced by cocaine.The correlation matrix showed that cocaine and simvastatin significantly reshaped the lipid metabolic pathways in specific brain regions.Furthermore,simvastatin almost reversed all changes in the fatty acyl profile and unsaturation caused by cocaine.In summary,pre-extinction treatment with simvastatin facilitates cocaine extinction and prevents cocaine relapse with brain lipidome remodeling.Wei Xu Yuman He Jiamei Zhang Hongchun Li Xuemei Wan Menglu Li Yonghai Wang Rui Xu Haoluo Zhang Yanping Dai Haxiaoyu Liu Linhong Jiang Ying Zhao Xiaobo Cen 2021Neuroscience Bulletin2021,37,12:0
10Efficacy and Safety of Sofosbuvir-based Regimens in Hepatitis C Patients With Decompensated Cirrhosis:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis显示文摘Background and Aims:Decompensated cirrhotic patients with hepatitis C(HCV)are often under-represented in clinical trials.We aimed to evaluate pooled data on the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir(SOF)-based regimens in these patients.Methods:We conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis by searching multiple databases for studies published from October 2010 to October 2020.Outcomes of interest were sustained virologic response(SVR)and safety of SOFbased regimens in decompensated HCV patients.Two reviewers independently performed the study selection and data extraction.Results:We included 33 studies that enrolled 5,302 HCV patients.The pooled SVR rate in decompensated patients with SOF-based regimens was 85.1%(95%CI:82.8–87.3).Patients on SOF/velpatasvir±ribavirin achieved a significantly higher SVR(91.0%,95%CI:87.7–93.9)than that of SOF/ledipasvir±ribavirin[(86.3%,95%CI:84.6–87.8);p=0.004],or on SOF/daclatasvir±ribavirin(82.4%,95%CI:78.2–86.2%;p<0.001).Adding ribavirin to SOFbased regimens(pooled SVR 84.9%,95%CI:81.7–87.9)did not significantly increase the SVR[83.8%(95%CI:76.8–89.8%;p=0.76)]in decompensated patients,which was also true in subgroup analyses for each regimen within the same treatment duration.However,adding ribavirin significantly increased the frequency of adverse events from 52.9%(95%CI:28.0–77.1)to 89.2%(95%CI:68.1–99.9)and frequency of severe events.The pooled incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and case-fatality of decompensated patients were 3.1%(95%CI:1.5–5.0)and 4.6%(95%CI:3.1–6.3),respectively.The overall heterogeneity was high.There was no publication bias.Conclusions:The analysis found that 12 weeks of SOF/velpatasvir without ribavirin is the preferred therapy,with a significantly higher SVR compared with other SOF-based regimens in decompensated HCV patients.Wenyan Zhang Jing Zhang Shan Tang Yali Liu Xiaofei Du Lixia Qiu Menglu Liu Haibin Yu Calvin Q.Pan 2023Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology2023,11,1:0
