CircUGGT2 downregulation by METTL14-dependent m6A modification suppresses gastric cancer progression and cisplatin resistance through interaction with miR-186-3p/MAP3K9 axis.

Chemoresistance is a major therapeutic challenge in advanced gastric cancer (GC). N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification has been shown to play fundamental roles in cancer progression. However, the underlying mechanisms by which m6A modification of circRNAs contributes to GC and chemoresistance remain unknown. We found that hsa_circ_0030632 (circUGGT2) was a predominant m6A target of METTL14, and METTL14 knockdown (KD) reduced circUGGT2 m6A levels but increased its mRNA levels. The expression of circUGGT2 was markedly increased in cisplatin (DDP)-resistant GC cells. CircUGGT2 KD impaired cell growth, metastasis and DDP-resistance in vitro and in vivo, but circUGGT2 overexpression prompted these effects. Furthermore, circUGGT2 was validated to sponge miR-186-3p and upregulate MAP3K9 and could abolish METTL14-caused miR-186-3p upregulation and MAP3K9 downregulation in GC cells. circUGGT2 negatively correlated with miR-186-3p expression and harbored a poor prognosis in patients with GC. Our findings unveil that METTL14-dependent m6A modification of circUGGT2 inhibits GC progression and DDP resistance by regulating miR-186-3p/MAP3K9 axis.

Ferroptosis: A new strategy for targeting Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a complex pathogenesis, which involves the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Many recent studies have revealed a close association between ferroptosis and the pathogenesis of AD. Factors such as ferroptosis-associated iron overload, lipid peroxidation, disturbances in redox homeostasis, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species have been found to contribute to the pathological progression of AD. In this review, we explore the mechanisms underlying ferroptosis, describe the link between ferroptosis and AD, and examine the reported efficacy of ferroptosis inhibitors in treating AD. Finally, we discuss the potential challenges to ferroptosis inhibitors use in the clinic, enabling their faster use in clinical treatment.

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and fludarabine conditioning for X-linked adrenal cerebral leukodystrophy.

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the safety and efficacy of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (SCT) in pediatric patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of transplantation data from 29 cases of ALD, treated between December 2014 and April 2022, was conducted. Neurologic function scores (NFS) were assessed. The conditioning regimen was busulfan 9.6 mg/kg, cyclophosphamide 200 mg/kg, and fludarabine 90 mg/m2 (BFC). Graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis consisted of anti-human thymocyte globulin, cyclosporine A, mycophenolate mofetil, and short course of methotrexate. RESULTS: Among the 29 cases, 14 cases (NFS = 0) were asymptomatic, and 15 (NFS ≥ 1) were symptomatic. The median age at SCT was 8 years (range: 4-16 years); the median follow-up time was 1058 days (range: 398-3092 days); 28 cases were father donors and 1 case was a grandfather donor. Hematopoietic reconstitution was successful in all patients, and all of them achieved complete donor chimerism at the time of engraftment. The leading cause of death was still primary disease progression (n = 4). Survival free of major functional disabilities was 100% in asymptomatic patients versus 66.67% in the symptomatic group (p = .018). CONCLUSION: BFC regimen used in haploidentical SCT was administered safely without major transplant-related complications even in symptomatic patients, and neurological symptoms were stabilized after SCT.

Detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy for the noninvasive diagnosis of esophageal diseases: A prospective, blind clinical study.

BACKGROUND: Traditional esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), an invasive examination method, can cause discomfort and pain in patients. In contrast, magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE), a noninvasive method, is being applied for the detection of stomach and small intestinal diseases, but its application in treating esophageal diseases is not widespread. AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of detachable string MCE (ds-MCE) for the diagnosis of esophageal diseases. METHODS: Fifty patients who had been diagnosed with esophageal diseases were prospectively recruited for this clinical study and underwent ds-MCE and conventional EGD. The primary endpoints included the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy of ds-MCE for patients with esophageal diseases. The secondary endpoints consisted of visualizing the esophageal and dentate lines, as well as the subjects' tolerance of the procedure. RESULTS: Using EGD as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy of ds-MCE for esophageal disease detection were 85.71%, 86.21%, 81.82%, 89.29%, and 86%, respectively. ds-MCE was more comfortable and convenient than EGD was, with 80% of patients feeling that ds-MCE examination was very comfortable or comfortable and 50% of patients believing that detachable string v examination was very convenient. CONCLUSION: This study revealed that ds-MCE has the same diagnostic effects as traditional EGD for esophageal diseases and is more comfortable and convenient than EGD, providing a novel noninvasive method for treating esophageal diseases.

Simultaneous Determination of Ibrutinib, Dihydroxydiol Ibrutinib, and Zanubrutinib in Human Plasma by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry.

BACKGROUND: Ibrutinib and zanubrutinib are Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors used to treat mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and small lymphocytic lymphoma. Dihydroxydiol ibrutinib (DHI) is an active metabolite of the drug. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to detect ibrutinib, DHI, and zanubrutinib in human plasma. METHODS: The method involved a protein precipitation step, followed by chromatographic separation using a gradient of 10 mM ammonium acetate (containing 0.1% formic acid)-acetonitrile. Ibrutinib-d5 was used as an internal standard. Analytes were separated within 6.5 minutes. The optimized multiple reaction monitoring transitions of m/z 441.1 → 304.2, 475.2 → 304.2, 472.2 → 455.2, and 446.2 → 309.2 were selected to inspect ibrutinib, DHI, zanubrutinib, and the internal standards in positive ion mode. RESULTS: The validated curve ranges included 0.200-800, 0.500-500, and 1.00-1000 ng/mL for ibrutinib, DHI, and zanubrutinib, respectively. The precisions of the lower limit of quantification of samples were below 15.5%, the precisions of the other level samples were below 11.4%, and the accuracies were between -8.6% and 8.4%. The matrix effect and extraction recovery of all compounds ranged between 97.6%-109.0% and 93.9%-105.2%, respectively. The selectivity, accuracy, precision, matrix effect, and extraction recovery results were acceptable according to international method validation guidelines. CONCLUSIONS: A simple and rapid method was developed and validated in this study. This method was used to analyze plasma concentrations of ibrutinib and zanubrutinib in patients with mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The selected patients were aged between 44 and 74 years.

Remarkable purification of organic dyes by NiOOH-modified industrial waste residues.

Extracting functional materials from industrial waste residues to absorb organic dyes can maximize waste reuse and minimize water pollution. However, the extraordinarily low purification efficiency still limits the practical application of this strategy. Herein, the lamellar NiOOH is in-situ anchored on the industrial waste red mud surface (ARM/NiOOH) as an adsorbent to purify organic dyes in wastewater. ARM/NiOOH adsorbent with high specific surface area and porosity provides considerable active sites for the congo red (CR), thereby significantly enhancing the removal efficiency of CR. Besides, we fit a reasonable adsorption model for ARM/NiOOH adsorbent and investigate its adsorption kinetics. Resultantly, ARM/NiOOH adsorbent can remarkably adsorb 348.0 mg g-1 CR within 5 min, which is 7.91 times that of raw RM. Our work provides a strategy for reusing industrial waste and purifying sewage pollution, which advances wastewater treatment engineering.

Ucp4 Knockdown of Cerebellar Purkinje Cells Induces Bradykinesia.

Although uncoupling protein 4 (UCP4) is the most abundant protein reported in the brain, the biological function of UCP4 in cerebellum and pathological outcome of UCP4 deficiency in cerebellum remain obscure. To evaluate the role of Ucp4 in the cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), we generated the conditional knockdown of Ucp4 in PCs (Pcp2cre;Ucp4fl/fl mice) by breeding Ucp4fl/fl mice with Pcp2cre mice. Series results by Western blot, immunofluorescent staining, and triple RNAscope in situ hybridization confirmed the specific ablation of Ucp4 in PCs in Pcp2cre;Ucp4fl/fl mice, but did not affect the expression of Ucp2, the analog of Ucp4. Combined behavioral tests showed that Pcp2cre;Ucp4fl/fl mice displayed a characteristic bradykinesia in the spontaneous movements. The electromyogram recordings detection excluded the possibility of hypotonia in Pcp2cre;Ucp4fl/fl mice. And the electrical patch clamp recordings showed the altered properties of PCs in Pcp2cre;Ucp4fl/fl mice. Moreover, transmission electron microscope (TEM) results showed the increased mitochondrial circularity in PCs; ROS probe imaging showed the increased ROS generation in molecular layer; and finally, microplate reader assay showed the significant changes of mitochondrial functions, including ROS, ATP, and MMP in the isolated cerebellum tissue. The results suggested that the specific knockdown of mitochondrial protein Ucp4 could damage PCs possibly by attacking their mitochondrial function. The present study is the first to report a close relationship between UCP4 deletion with PCs impairment, and suggests the importance of UCP4 in the substantial support of mitochondrial function homeostasis in bradykinesia. UCP4 might be a therapeutic target for the cerebellar-related movement disorder.

Median arcuate ligament syndrome complicated with gallbladder stones: A case report.

BACKGROUND: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare disease caused by compression of the celiac trunk artery by the median arcuate ligament (MAL). It can cause symptoms of postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and nausea and vomiting. CASE SUMMARY: A 55-year-old woman was admitted due to abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. On admission, the patient presented with epigastric pain that worsened after eating, without signs of peritoneal irritation. Computed tomography angiography of the upper abdomen showed compression of the proximal segment of the abdominal trunk, local luminal stenosis with angular "fishhook" changes, which changed significantly during forceful inspiration and expiration; gallbladder stones; and multiple cysts in the liver. Abdominal duplex ultrasonography showed that peak systolic velocity was 352 cm/s. After diagnosis of MALS was confirmed, an arch ligament release procedure was performed. MALS has no specific symptoms and can be misdiagnosed as other abdominal diseases. Awareness of MALS should be improved to avoid misdiagnosis. The commonly used treatment option is MAL release and resection of the peripheral ganglion of the celiac trunk artery. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis and treatment of MALS must be individualized, and MAL release is effective and provides immediate symptomatic relief.

Programming Peptide Liquid Crystal Media to Acquire Independent Sets of Residual Dipolar Couplings and Enantiodiscrimination in Multiple Solvent Systems.

Multiple independent sets of residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) acquired by relying on different alignment media show the great potential for de novo structure determination of organic compounds. However, this methodology is severely compromised by the limited availability of multialignment media. In this work, an engineering strategy was developed to program the oligopeptide amphiphiles (OPAs) to create different peptide liquid crystal (LC) media for the acquisition of independent sets of RDCs. With no need for de novo design on peptide sequences, the molecular alignment can be simply modulated by varying the length of the hydrophobic tails within OPAs. Relying on these programmed peptide LC media, five independent sets of RDCs were extracted in a highly efficient and accurate manner. Because of the similar bulk composition of OPAs, this approach offers the significant advantage in circumventing the possible incompatibilities of analytes with one or several different alignment media, therefore avoiding the analysis complication. Notably, these peptide LC media show enantiodifferentiating properties, and the enantiodiscriminating capabilities could also be optimized through the programmed strategy. Furthermore, we show that these media are compatible with different polar solvents, allowing the possible de novo structure elucidation of organic compounds with varied polarities and solubilities.

LC-MS/MS methods for determination of venetoclax in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid.

We developed and validated sensitive MS/MS methods for the determination of venetoclax, an oral selective B-cell lymphoma-2 inhibitor, in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Acetonitrile was used as protein precipitant. The mobile phase was 10 mM ammonium formate consisting of 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile (40:60, v/v). The analytes were separated on an ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column (2.1 × 50 mm, 1.8 µm) in 5 min. An API 4000 mass spectrometer was selected to quantify venetoclax and internal standard using m/z 868.3 → 636.3 and 876.3 → 644.3 under multiple response monitoring mode. In plasma, the calibration curve exhibited good linearity ranging from 20.0 to 5000 ng/mL, whereas in the CSF, the linear range was 0.500-100 ng/mL. The matrix effect of venetoclax and internal standard (venetoclax-d8) was not obvious in both plasma and CSF. The inter- and intra-run accuracy was within ±11.9%, and the inter- and intra-run precision was below 13.6%. Both methods had no carryover, and the recovery was close to 100%. The validated methods were employed to quantify the concentrations of venetoclax in the plasma and CSF of patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia.

Flexible, recoverable, and efficient photocatalysts: MoS2/TiO2 heterojunctions grown on amorphous carbon-coated carbon textiles.

Most traditional powder photocatalysts are not easily recovered. Herein, we report a flexible and recoverable photocatalyst with superior photocatalytic activity, in which MoS2/TiO2 heterojunctions are grown on amorphous carbon-coated carbon textiles (CT@C-MoS2/TiO2). Recoverable CT@C-MoS2/TiO2 textile was used to degrade 10 mg L-1 rhodamine B, leading to a degradation rate of up to 98.8 % within 30 min. Such a degradation rate is much higher than that of most of the reported studies. A density functional theory (DFT) calculation results illustrate charge transfer mechanism inside TiO2-C, MoS2-C, and MoS2/TiO2 heterojunctions, which shows that CT@C-MoS2/TiO2 textile with three electron separation channels has a high photogenerated carrier separation rate, which remarkably enhances the photocatalytic activity. Our work provides a novel strategy to design an efficient and recoverable photocatalyst with high activity.

Cu3(hexaamino triphenylhexane)2/reduced graphene oxide composites with boosting electron-transfer properties for acetaminophen electrocatalytic degradation.

Electron-transfer properties, as great contributors for electrocatalytic oxidation on the anode, are crucial to pollution degradation. The strong relationship between electron-transfer properties and active species (such as radicals) generation of anode catalysts suggests a new strategy for pollution-degradation efficiency improvement. In this study, a novel composite of Cu3(hexaamino triphenylhexane)2 [Cu3(HITP)2] and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was synthesized to construct electron-transfer pathways between the two layers. Benefiting from the connection formed through RGO-O-N-Cu, the electron transfer from RGO to Cu3(HITP)2 was accelerated. The resettled charge distribution led the C atoms in the RGO layer, and the Cu and C atoms in Cu3(HITP)2 layer acted as the main surface active sites. O2•-, 1O2, and reactive chlorine were then triggered to boost the degradation of acetaminophen. The source of O2•- and 1O2 was more likely from surface oxygen groups rather than dissolved O2. Overall, this research provided a perspective proof of conductive Cu3(HITP)2/RGO composite construction with 2D/2D structure for electrocatalytic-oxidation improvement.

Polyketides from the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia and their bioactivities.

Three previously undescribed griseofulvin derivatives, namely pochonichlamydins A-C, one small polyketide, namely pochonichlamydin D, together with nine known compounds, have been isolated from cultures of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia. Their structures with absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectrometric methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Dechlorogriseofulvin and griseofulvin exhibited inhibitory activities against Candida albicans at the concentration of 100 µM, with inhibition rates of 69.1% and 56.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, pochonichlamydin C showed mild cytotoxicity against the human cancer MCF-7 cell line with an IC50 value of 33.1 µM.

A strategy-purifying wastewater with waste materials: Zn2+ modified waste red mud as recoverable adsorbents with an enhanced removal capacity of congo red.

The strategy, called purifying wastewater with waste materials (PWWM), can simultaneously improve the secondary utilization of industrial waste materials and in turn, reduce environmental pollution. However, the PWWM strategy has still not been extensively used because of its low purification efficiency of organic pollutants and extremely difficult secondary utilization process. Herein, we use zinc aluminum silicate (ZAS) to modify waste granular red mud (GRM) to form a recoverable adsorbent, called ZAS/GRM adsorbent. The ZAS has been found to exhibit exceptional adsorption performance with the ability to firmly anchor onto the surface of GRM, in which heavy metal ions can effectively solidify and reduce their outflow. Furthermore, many voids have been tactfully designed in the ZAS/GRM adsorbents by using a water vapor project, which provide more active sites for congo red (CR) organic dye, thereby remarkably improving the removal efficiency of CR. From our purification of CR, we find that the CR adsorption capacity of the ZAS/GRM adsorbent is 3.509 mg g-1, which is four times higher than pure GRM (0.820 mg g-1). This study demonstrates our PWWM strategy is highly effective and can inspire more research on waste reuse.

Determination of Orelabrutinib in Human Plasma Using LC-MS/MS.

BACKGROUND: Orelabrutinib is a second-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor that improves the management of B-cell malignancies. The objective of this study was to develop and validate an LC-MS/MS method for quantifying orelabrutinib in human plasma. METHODS: Plasma samples were processed using acetonitrile to precipitate proteins. Ibrutinib-d5 was used as the internal standard. The mobile phase comprised 10 mM ammonium formate containing 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile (62:38, vol/vol). The multiple reaction monitoring transitions at m / z = 428.1 → 411.2 and 446.2 → 309.2 were selected for orelabrutinib and ibrutinib-d5, respectively, after ionization in the positive mode. RESULTS: Total runtime was 4.5 minutes. The validated curve ranges were 1.00-500 ng/mL. This method exhibited acceptable selectivity, dilution integrity, matrix effects, and recovery. Interrun and intrarun accuracy ranged from -3.4% to 6.5%, and interrun and intrarun precision was between 2.8% and 12.8%. Stability was studied under different conditions. The incurred sample reanalysis demonstrated good reproducibility. CONCLUSIONS: The LC-MS/MS method provided a simple, specific, and rapid quantification of orelabrutinib in the plasma of patients with mantle cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. The results indicated that orelabrutinib exhibits large variability between individuals and should be prudently used in combination with CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Case report: An asymptomatic mother with an inborn error of cobalamin metabolism (cblC) detected through high homocysteine levels during prenatal diagnosis.

Background: The most common disorder of the intracellular cobalamin metabolism pathway is the combined methylmalonic acidemia and homocysteinemia, cblC type (cblC). There is a variation in its clinical spectrum ranging from severe neonatal-onset forms that are highly fatal to later-onset forms which are milder. In this study, the first case of an asymptomatic Chinese woman with a defect in congenital cobalamin (cblC type) metabolism at prenatal diagnosis due to elevated homocysteine level is identified. Case presentation: The proband, a male child born to a 29-year-old G1P0 mother, admitted to local hospital with feeding disorder, intellectual disability, seizures, microcephaly, as well as heterophthalmos. The level of the urine methylmalonic was elevated. Equally found were increased blood propionylcarnitine (C3) and propionylcarnitine/free carnitine ratio (C3/C0) and decreased methionine levels. The plasma total homocysteine level was elevated at 101.04 µmol/L (normal < 15 µmol/L). The clinical diagnosis of combined methylmalonic acidemia and homocysteinemia was supported. Four years later, the mother of the boy married again and came to us for prenatal diagnosis exactly 15 weeks after her last menstrual period. Subsequently, there is an increase in the amniotic fluid methylmalonate. The level of the amniotic fluid total homocysteine was marginally high. A considerably elevated amniotic fluid C3 was equally observed. In addition, there is a respective significant increase in the plasma and urine total homocysteine at 31.96 and 39.35 µmol/L. After the sequencing of MMACHC genes, it is found that the boy, a proband carried a homozygous mutation of the MMACHC at c.658_660delAAG. While the boy's mother, she carries two mutations in MMACHC: c.658_660delAAG and c.617G>A. The fetus is a carrier of the MMACHC gene. Following the administration of routine treatment, the mother remained symptom-free in the course of pregnancy, and she gave birth to a healthy boy. Conclusion: Variable and nonspecific symptoms characterized the cblC type of methylmalonic acidemia combined with homocysteinemia. Both biochemical assays and mutation analysis are recommended as crucial complementary techniques.

Case report: Muscle involvement in a Chinese patient with TRNT1-related disorder.

The TRNT1 gene encodes tRNA nucleotidyltransferase 1, which catalyzes the addition of cytosine-cytosine-adenosine (CCA) to the ends of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial tRNAs. The most common clinical phenotype associated with TRNT1 is autosomal recessive sideroblastic anemia with B-cell immunodeficiency, periodic fever, and developmental delay (SIFD). Muscle involvement has rarely been reported in TRNT1-related disorders. Here we report a Chinese patient with incomplete SIFD and hyperCKemia, and explored the skeletal muscle pathological changes. The patient was a 3-year-old boy with sensorineural hearing loss, sideroblastic anemia, and developmental delay since infancy. At the age of 11 months, significantly increased levels of creatine kinase were noted, accompanied by mild muscle weakness. Whole-exome sequencing revealed compound heterozygous variants of the TRNT1 gene, c.443C > T (p.Ala148Val) and c.692C > G (p.Ala231Gly), in the patient. Western blot showed a decreased expression of TRNT1 and cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV (COX IV) in the skeletal muscle of the patient. Electron microscopy observation of skeletal muscle pathology revealed abnormal mitochondria of various sizes and shapes, supporting a diagnosis of mitochondrial myopathy. The present case indicates that in addition to the classic SIFD phenotype, TRNT1 mutations can cause mitochondrial myopathy, a rare clinical phenotype of TRNT1-related disorders.

Weakly aligned Ti3C2Tx MXene liquid crystals: measuring residual dipolar coupling in multiple co-solvent systems.

Residual Dipolar Coupling (RDC), acquired relying on weakly alignment media, is highly valuable for the structural elucidation of organic molecules. Arising from the striking features of no background signals and low critical concentrations, two-dimensional (2D) liquid crystals (LCs) show the clear advantages of acting as alignment media to measure RDCs. So far, creating multisolvent compatible 2D LC media through a simple and versatile method is still formidably challenging. Herein, we report the rapid creation of aligned media based on the Ti3C2Tx MXene, which self-aligned in multiple co-solvents including CH3OH-H2O, DMSO-H2O, DMF-H2O, and acetone-H2O. We demonstrated the applicability of these aligned media for the RDC measurement of small organic molecules with different polarities and solubilities. Notably, Ti3C2Tx MXene LCs without chemical modification enabled RDC measurements on aromatic molecules. The straightforward preparation of Ti3C2Tx media and its compatibility with multiple solvents will push RDC measurement as a routine methodology for structural elucidation. It may also facilitate the investigation of solvation effects on conformational dynamics.

Ferroptosis is a new therapeutic target for spinal cord injury.

Spinal cord injury is a serious traumatic disease. As Ferroptosis has been increasingly studied in recent years, it has been found to be closely related to the pathophysiological processes of spinal cord injury. Iron overload, reactive oxygen species accumulation, lipid peroxidation and glutamate accumulation associated with Ferroptosis are all present in spinal cord injury, and thus Ferroptosis is thought to be involved in the pathological processes secondary to spinal cord injury. This article highlights the relationship between Ferroptosis and spinal cord injury, lists substances that improve spinal cord injury by inhibiting Ferroptosis, and concludes with a discussion of the problems that may be encountered in the clinical translation of Ferroptosis inhibitors as a means of enabling their faster use in clinical treatment.

Meshed neuronal mitochondrial networks empowered by AI-powered classifiers and immersive VR reconstruction.

Mitochondrial networks are defined as a continuous matrix lumen, but the morphological feature of neuronal mitochondrial networks is not clear due to the lack of suitable analysis techniques. The aim of the present study is to develop a framework to capture and analyze the neuronal mitochondrial networks by using 4-step process composed of 2D and 3D observation, primary and secondary virtual reality (VR) analysis, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Aivia segmentation an classifiers. In order to fulfill this purpose, we first generated the PCs-Mito-GFP mice, in which green fluorescence protein (GFP) could be expressed on the outer mitochondrial membrane specifically on the cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), thus all mitochondria in the giant neuronal soma, complex dendritic arborization trees and long projection axons of Purkinje cells could be easily detected under a laser scanning confocal microscope. The 4-step process resolved the complicated neuronal mitochondrial networks into discrete neuronal mitochondrial meshes. Second, we measured the two parameters of the neuronal mitochondrial meshes, and the results showed that the surface area (µm2) of mitochondrial meshes was the biggest in dendritic trees (45.30 ± 53.21), the smallest in granular-like axons (3.99 ± 1.82), and moderate in soma (27.81 ± 22.22) and silk-like axons (17.50 ± 15.19). These values showed statistically different among different subcellular locations. The volume (µm3) of mitochondrial meshes was the biggest in dendritic trees (9.97 ± 12.34), the smallest in granular-like axons (0.43 ± 0.25), and moderate in soma (6.26 ± 6.46) and silk-like axons (3.52 ± 4.29). These values showed significantly different among different subcellular locations. Finally, we found both the surface area and the volume of mitochondrial meshes in dendritic trees and soma within the Purkinje cells in PCs-Mito-GFP mice after receiving the training with the simulating long-term pilot flight concentrating increased significantly. The precise reconstruction of neuronal mitochondrial networks is extremely laborious, the present 4-step workflow powered by artificial intelligence and virtual reality reconstruction could successfully address these challenges.
