Substrate diversity of NSUN enzymes and links of 5-methylcytosine to mRNA translation and turnover.

Maps of the RNA modification 5-methylcytosine (m5C) often diverge markedly not only because of differences in detection methods, data depand analysis pipelines but also biological factors. We re-analysed bisulfite RNA sequencing datasets from five human cell lines and seven tissues using a coherent m5C site calling pipeline. With the resulting union list of 6,393 m5C sites, we studied site distribution, enzymology, interaction with RNA-binding proteins and molecular function. We confirmed tRNA:m5C methyltransferases NSUN2 and NSUN6 as the main mRNA m5C "writers," but further showed that the rRNA:m5C methyltransferase NSUN5 can also modify mRNA. Each enzyme recognises mRNA features that strongly resemble their canonical substrates. By analysing proximity between mRNA m5C sites and footprints of RNA-binding proteins, we identified new candidates for functional interactions, including the RNA helicases DDX3X, involved in mRNA translation, and UPF1, an mRNA decay factor. We found that lack of NSUN2 in HeLa cells affected both steady-state levels of, and UPF1-binding to, target mRNAs. Our studies emphasise the emerging diversity of m5C writers and readers and their effect on mRNA function.

Heteryunine A, an amidated tryptophan-catechin-spiroketal hybrid with antifibrotic activity from Heterosmilax yunnanensis.

An unprecedented spiro-C-glycoside adduct, heteryunine A (1), along with two uncommon alkaloids featuring a 2,3-diketopiperazine skeleton, heterpyrazines A (2) and B (3), were discovered in the roots of Heterosmilax yunnanensis. The detailed spectroscopic analysis helped to clarify the planar structures of these compounds. Compound 1, containing 7 chiral centers, features a catechin fused with a spiroketal and connects with a tryptophan derivative by a CC bond. Its complex absolute configuration was elucidated by rotating frame overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (ROESY), specific rotation, and the 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. The possible biosynthetic routes for 1 were deduced. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant antifibrotic effects and further research revealed that they inhibited the activation, migration and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) through suppressing the activity of Ras homolog family member A (RhoA).

Analysis of changes in social isolation, loneliness, or both, and subsequent cognitive function among older adults: Findings from a nationwide cohort study.

INTRODUCTION: The study aimed to investigate the associations of changes in social isolation, loneliness, or both, with cognitive function. METHODS: Data were from 7299 older adults in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. We defined four change patterns (no, incident, transient, and persistent) for social isolation and loneliness, and created nine-category variable to represent the joint changes. Tobit regression models and Cox models were performed. RESULTS: Incident, transient, and persistent social isolation or loneliness may accelerate cognitive decline (p < 0.05). Incident, transient, and persistent social isolation were associated with higher cognitive impairment risk, while only persistent loneliness was associated with higher cognitive impairment risk (p < 0.001). Notably, short-term or persistent social isolation was associated with accelerated cognitive decline and incident cognitive impairment, regardless of different loneliness change status (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION: Short-term or persistent social isolation and persistent loneliness may be a salient risk factor for cognitive decline and cognitive impairment. HIGHLIGHTS: Incident, transient, and persistent social isolation were associated with accelerated cognitive decline and higher cognitive impairment risk. Persistent loneliness was associated with accelerated cognitive decline and higher cognitive impairment risk. Short-term or persistent social isolation with concurrent different loneliness change status accelerated cognitive decline and higher cognitive impairment risk.

An optimal combination of four active components in Huangqin decoction for the synergistic sensitization of irinotecan against colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND: Irinotecan (CPT-11) is a first-line treatment for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). Four components (baicalin, baicalein, wogonin, and glycyrrhizic acid) derived from Huangqin Decoction (HQD) have been proven to enhance the anticancer activity of CPT-11 in our previous study. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the optimal combination of the four components for sensitizing CPT-11 as well as to explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The orthogonal design method was applied to obtain candidate combinations (Cmb1-9) of the four components. The influence of different combinations on the anticancer effect of CPT-11 was first evaluated in vitro by cell viability, wound healing ability, cloning formation, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest. Then, a CRC xenograft mice model was constructed to evaluate the anticancer effect of the optimal combination in vivo. Potential mechanisms of the optimal combination exerting a sensitization effect combined with CPT-11 against CRC were analyzed by targeted metabolomics. RESULTS: In vitro experiments determined that Cmb8 comprised of baicalin, baicalein, wogonin, and glycyrrhizic acid at the concentrations of 17 µM, 47 µM, 46.5 µM and 9.8 µM respectively was the most effective combination. Importantly, the cell viability assay showed that Cmb8 exhibited synergistic anticancer activity in combination with CPT-11. In in vivo experiments, this combination (15 mg/kg of baicalin, 24 mg/kg of baicalein, 24 mg/kg of wogonin, and 15 mg/kg of glycyrrhizic acid) also showed a synergistic anticancer effect. Meanwhile, inflammatory factors and pathological examination of the colon showed that Cmb8 could alleviate the gastrointestinal damage induced by CPT-11. Metabolic profiling of the tumors suggested that the synergistic anticancer effect of Cmb8 might be related to the regulation of fatty acid metabolism. CONCLUSION: The optimal combination of four components derived from HQD for the synergistic sensitization of CPT-11 against CRC was identified.

Development of a 166.6 MHz ß = 1 higher-order-mode-damped superconducting cavity.

The storage ring of the high energy photon source will be driven by five 166.6 MHz ß = 1 quarter-wave superconducting cavities operating at 4 K. A higher-order-mode-damped superconducting cavity was designed with excellent rf and mechanical properties based on the successful development of the proof-of-principle cavity. The mechanical design of the dressed cavity was focused on addressing stress safety throughout the processes, tunability, frequency detuning due to pressure fluctuation, and Lorentz force, among other factors. A new liquid helium vessel was designed along with a comprehensive stiffening scheme to mitigate the surging peak stress on the cavity resulting from the significantly unequal beam pipe size. In the first batch, three cavities were manufactured, and surface preparations were carefully conducted to eliminate defects and etching traces while ensuring cleanliness. The cavity's Q0 at the design voltage of 1.5 MV reached 3.8 × 109 at 4 K, comfortably surpassing the design goal. Field emission onset was not observed during the entire test up to a peak electric field of 60 MV/m, thanks to the optimized processing procedures. Subsequently, one cavity was welded with the newly designed helium vessel and vertically tested at 2 K, achieving an rf performance comparable to the bare cavities, demonstrating the success of the jacketed cavity. This paper presents the design, fabrication, surface preparation, and cryogenic tests of the first higher-order-mode-damped 166.6 MHz ß = 1 superconducting cavity.

Two new cucurbitane-type triterpenoid saponins from the fruit of Citrullus colocynthis.

Two new cucurbitane-type triterpenoid saponins, 2,20ß,22ß-trihydroxy-16α,23(R)-epoxycucurbita-1,5,24-triene-3,11-dione 2-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (1), 2,20ß,22α-trihydroxy-16α,23(S)-epoxycucurbita-1,5,11,24-tetraene-3-one 2-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (2) were isolated from the fruit of Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad. Their structures were elucidated by mass spectrometry, IR, 1D, and 2D NMR spectroscopy, etc. Besides, both of the compounds showed significant hepatoprotective activities at 10 µM against paracetamol-induced HepG2 cell damage.

Switching Reaction Pathways of CO2 Electroreduction by Modulating Cations in the Electrochemical Double Layer.

Tuning the selectivity of CO2 electroreduction reaction (CO2RR) solely by changing electrolyte is a very attractive topic. In this study, we conducted CO2RR in different aqueous electrolytes over bulk metal electrodes. It was discovered that controlled CO2RR could be achieved by modulating cations in the electrochemical double layer. Specifically, ionic liquid cations in the electrolyte significantly inhibits the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), while yielding high Faraday efficiencies toward CO (FECO) or formate (FEformate) depending on the alkali metal cations. For example, the product could be switched from CO (FECO = 97.3%) to formate (FEformate = 93.5%) by changing the electrolyte from 0.1 M KBr-0.5 M 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (OmimBr) to 0.1 M CsBr-0.5M OmimBr aqueous solutions over pristine Cu foil electrode. In situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal that the ordered structure generated by the assembly of Omim+ under an applied negative potential alters the hydrogen bonding structure of the interfacial water, thereby inhibiting the HER. The difference in selectivity in the presence of different cations is attributed to the hydrogen bonding effect caused by Omim+, which alters the solvated structure of the alkali metal cations and thus affects the stabilization of intermediates of different pathways.

ESF1 positively regulates MDM2 and promotes tumorigenesis.

Eighteen S rRNA factor 1 (ESF1) is a predominantly nucleolar protein essential for embryogenesis. Our previous studies have suggested that Esf1 is a negative regulator of the tumor suppressor protein p53. However, it remains unclear whether ESF1 contributes to tumorigenesis. In this current research, we find that increased ESF1 expression correlates with poor survival in multiple tumors including pancreatic cancer. ESF1 is able to regulate cell proliferation, migration, DNA damage-induced apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, ESF1 physically interacts with MDM2 and is essential for maintaining the stability of MDM2 protein by inhibiting its ubiquitination. Additionally, ESF1 also prevented stress-induced stabilization of p53 in multiple cancer cells. Hence, our findings suggest that ESF1 is a potent regulator of the MDM2-p53 pathway and promotes tumor progression.

Hsp47 promotes biogenesis of multi-subunit neuroreceptors in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) deficiency is an important contributing factor to neurological and metabolic diseases. However, how the proteostasis network orchestrates the folding and assembly of multi-subunit membrane proteins is poorly understood. Previous proteomics studies identified Hsp47 (Gene: SERPINH1), a heat shock protein in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen, as the most enriched interacting chaperone for gamma-aminobutyric type A (GABAA) receptors. Here, we show that Hsp47 enhances the functional surface expression of GABAA receptors in rat neurons and human HEK293T cells. Furthermore, molecular mechanism study demonstrates that Hsp47 acts after BiP (Gene: HSPA5) and preferentially binds the folded conformation of GABAA receptors without inducing the unfolded protein response in HEK293T cells. Therefore, Hsp47 promotes the subunit-subunit interaction, the receptor assembly process, and the anterograde trafficking of GABAA receptors. Overexpressing Hsp47 is sufficient to correct the surface expression and function of epilepsy-associated GABAA receptor variants in HEK293T cells. Hsp47 also promotes the surface trafficking of other Cys-loop receptors, including nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and serotonin type 3 receptors in HEK293T cells. Therefore, in addition to its known function as a collagen chaperone, this work establishes that Hsp47 plays a critical and general role in the maturation of multi-subunit Cys-loop neuroreceptors.

Phylogenetic and mutational analysis of H10N3 avian influenza A virus in China: potential threats to human health.

In recent years, the avian influenza virus has emerged as a significant threat to both human and public health. This study focuses on a patient infected with the H10N3 subtype of avian influenza virus, admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Kunming City on March 6, 2024. Metagenomic RNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis were conducted on the patient's sputum, confirming the H10N3 infection. The patient presented severe pneumonia symptoms such as fever, expectoration, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and cough. Phylogenetic analysis of the Haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of the virus showed that the virus was most closely related to a case of human infection with the H10N3 subtype of avian influenza virus found in Zhejiang Province, China. Analysis of amino acid mutation sites identified four mutations potentially hazardous to human health. Consequently, this underscores the importance of continuous and vigilant monitoring of the dynamics surrounding the H10N3 subtype of avian influenza virus, utilizing advanced genomic surveillance techniques.

Predictive models for functional cure in patients with CHB receiving PEG-IFN therapy based on HBsAg quantification through meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The efficacy of achieving HBsAg clearance through pegylated interferon (PEG-IFNα) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains uncertain, especially regarding the probability of achieving functional cure among patients with varying baseline HBsAg levels. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of HBsAg quantification for HBsAg seroclearance in CHB patients undergoing PEG-IFNα treatment. METHODS: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to January 11, 2022. Subgroup analyses were performed for HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients, PEG-IFNα monotherapy and PEG-IFNα combination therapy, treatment-naive and treatment-experienced patients, and patients with or without liver cirrhosis. RESULTS: This predictive model incorporated 102 studies. The overall HBsAg clearance rates at the end of treatment (EOT) and the end of follow-up (EOF) were 10.6% (95% CI 7.8-13.7%) and 11.1% (95% CI 8.4-14.1%), respectively. Baseline HBsAg quantification was the most significant factor. According to the model, it is projected that when baseline HBsAg levels are 100, 500, 1500, and 10,000 IU/ml, the HBsAg clearance rates at EOF could reach 53.9% (95% CI 40.4-66.8%), 32.1% (95% CI 24.8-38.7%), 14.2% (95% CI 9.8-18.8%), and 7.9% (95% CI 4.2-11.8%), respectively. Additionally, treatment-experienced patients with HBeAg-negative status, and without liver cirrhosis exhibited higher HBsAg clearance rates after PEG-IFNα treatment. CONCLUSION: A successful predictive model has been established to predict the achievement of functional cure in CHB patients receiving PEG-IFNα therapy.

A new chemical derivatization reagent sulfonyl piperazinyl for the quantification of fatty acids using LC-MS/MS.

In our previous study, a chemical derivatization reagent named 5-(dimethylamino) naphthalene-1-sulfonyl piperazine (Dns-PP) was developed to enhance the chromatographic retention and the mass spectrometric response of free fatty acids (FFAs) in reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (RPLC-ESI-MS). However, Dns-PP exhibited strong preferences for long-chain FFAs, with limited improvement for short- or medium-chain FFAs. In this study, a new series of labeling reagents targeting FFAs were designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Among these reagents, Tmt-PP (N2, N2, N4, N4-tetramethyl-6-(4-(piperazin-1-ylsulfonyl) phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) exhibited the best MS response and was selected for further evaluations. We compared Tmt-PP with Dns-PP and four commonly used carboxyl labeling reagents from existing studies, demonstrating the advantages of Tmt-PP. Further comparisons between Tmt-PP and Dns-PP in measuring FFAs from biological samples revealed that Tmt-PP labeling enhanced the MS response for about 80 % (30/38) of the measured FFAs, particularly for short- and medium-chain FFAs. Moreover, Tmt-PP labeling significantly improved the chromatographic retention of short-chain FFAs. To ensure accurate quantification, we developed a stable isotope-labeled Tmt-PP (i.e., d12-Tmt-PP) to react with chemical standards and serve as one-to-one internal standards (IS). The method was validated for accuracy, precision, sensitivity, linearity, stability, extraction efficiency, as well as matrix effect. Overall, this study introduced a new chemical derivatization reagent Tmt-PP (d12-Tmt-PP), providing a sensitive and accurate option for quantifying FFAs in biological samples.

Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes of Renal Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Children with Lupus Nephritis in Terms of Pathological and Clinical Features.

BACKGROUND: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is an important risk factor for the prognosis of lupus nephritis (LN). Patients with LN complicated with TMA tend to be critically ill with high mortality and poor prognosis. In the present study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical manifestations, laboratory results, renal pathological manifestations, and prognosis of children with LN-TMA and analyzed the risk factors for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in children with LN-TMA. METHODS: Seventy-four patients with LN and renal TMA (rTMA) were selected and compared to 128 LN controls without TMA (1:2 ratio) matched according to demographics, pathological type and treatments. RESULTS: The mean values of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urinary protein quantitation (PRO), urine red blood cells, N-acetyl-ß-D-glucosidase (NAG), retinol-binding protein, systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity score (SLEDAI), and activity index (AI) scores in the TMA group were all higher than those in the non-TMA group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01). The mean values of complement C3, hemoglobin, platelets, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and chronic index (CI) score in the TMA group were all lower than those in the non-TMA group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01). The number of cases of glomerular crescent, fibrous crescent, endocapillary proliferation, tubular atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, C3 and C1q deposition in the TMA group was higher than that in the non-TMA group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01). The 3-year and 5-year renal survival rates in the TMA group (88.93% vs. 97.00%, p < 0.05) and TMA group (61.41% vs. 82.31%, p < 0.05) were significantly lower than those in the non-TMA group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that serum creatinine before treatment (≥110 µmol/L), TMA and interstitial fibrosis were independent risk factors for the development of ESRD in LN children. CONCLUSION: The general condition of children with TMA is critical, and the prognosis is poor. Early detection, early treatment and the development of new treatments are key to improving LN-TMA outcomes in children.

Observation of Diverse Asymmetric Structures in High-Dimensional Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering, a distinctive quantum correlation, reveals a unique and inherent asymmetry. This research delves into the multifaceted asymmetry of EPR steering within high-dimensional quantum systems, exploring both theoretical frameworks and experimental validations. We introduce the concept of genuine high-dimensional one-way steering, wherein a high Schmidt number of bipartite quantum states is demonstrable in one steering direction but not reciprocally. Additionally, we explore two criteria to certify the lower and upper bounds of the Schmidt number within a one-sided device-independent context. These criteria serve as tools for identifying potential asymmetric dimensionality of EPR steering in both directions. By preparing two-qutrit mixed states with high fidelity, we experimentally observe asymmetric structures of EPR steering in the C^{3}⊗C^{3} Hilbert space. Our Letter offers new perspectives to understand the asymmetric EPR steering beyond qubits and has potential applications in asymmetric high-dimensional quantum information tasks.

The sublethal concentration of acetamiprid suppresses the population growth of 2 species of wheat aphids, Sitobion miscanthi and Schizaphis graminum (Hemiptera: Aphididae).

Sitobion miscanthi and Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) are the 2 main aphid species that occur simultaneously, causing significant loss to wheat production. Acetamiprid has been used to control a variety of pests, including aphids. In this study, the sublethal effect of acetamiprid on S. miscanthi and S. graminum was evaluated using life-table analyses. The results showed that acetamiprid has a high toxicity to S. miscanthi and S. graminum with a LC50 of 1.90 and 3.58 mg/L at 24 h, respectively. The adult longevity and fecundity of S. miscanthi and S. graminum F0 generation were significantly reduced after being exposed to a sublethal concentration of acetamiprid. Additionally, the sublethal concentration of acetamiprid had negative transgenerational effects on S. miscanthi and S. graminum, which showed a significant decrease in fecundity and population life-table parameters involving age-stage-specific survival rate (sxj), age-specific survival rate (lx), and intrinsic rate of increase (r). Furthermore, the population projections showed that the total population size of S. miscanthi and S. graminum was significantly lower in the aphid group exposed to sublethal concentration of acetamiprid compared to the control group. These results suggest that sublethal concentration of acetamiprid suppresses the population growth of S. miscanthi and S. graminum. This finding is beneficial to the control of wheat aphids, and is important to fully understand the role of acetamiprid in integrated pest management.

Alternating bilateral sensory stimulation alleviates alcohol-induced conditioned place preference via a superior colliculus-VTA circuit.

Alcohol is the most widely used addictive substance, potentially leading to brain damage and genetic abnormalities. Despite its prevalence and associated risks, current treatments have yet to identify effective methods for reducing cravings and preventing relapse. In this study, we find that 4-Hz alternating bilateral sensory stimulation (ABS) effectively reduces ethanol-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in male mice, while 4-Hz flash light does not exhibit therapeutic effects. Whole-brain c-Fos mapping demonstrates that 4-Hz ABS triggers notable activation in superior colliculus GABAergic neurons (SCGABA). SCGABA forms monosynaptic connections with ventral tegmental area dopaminergic neurons (VTADA), which is implicated in ethanol-induced CPP. Bidirectional chemogenetic manipulation of SC-VTA circuit either replicates or blocks the therapeutic effects of 4-Hz ABS on ethanol-induced CPP. These findings elucidate the role of SC-VTA circuit for alleviating ethanol-related CPP by 4-Hz ABS and point to a non-drug and non-invasive approach that might have potential for treating alcohol use disorder.

Effects of acute and chronic heat stress on the rumen microbiome in dairy goats.

Objective: The objective of this study was to reveal the influence of acute and chronic heat stress (HS) on the abundance and function of rumen microbiome and host metabolism. Methods: The forty mid-lactation goats were randomly divided into two artificial environments a control group and a heat-stressed group. This study was collected from two periods, 1 day and 28 days. The first day was defined as control 1 (CT1) and HS 1 (acute HS), and the last day was defined as CT28 and HS28 (chronic HS). On the first and last day, 6 dairy goats in each group were randomly selected to collect rumen liquid after the morning feeding through oral stomach tubes. The barn temperature and humidity were recorded every day. Results: Disruption of the rumen microbiome was observed under chronic HS, represented by an increase in the abundance of Prevotella and Bacteroidales (p<0.05), and upregulation of carbohydrate transport and metabolism functions (p<0.05). Additionally, the abundance of Succinimonas and Ruminobacter in chronic HS is lower than in acute HS (p<0.05), and the functions of intracellular trafficking, secretion and vesicular transport, and the cytoskeleton were downregulated (p<0.05). Conclusion: HS affected the interaction between the microbiota and host, thereby regulating milk production in dairy goats. These findings increased understanding of the crosstalk between hosts and microorganisms.

Biosafety assessments of hexafluoropropylene trimer derivative as a fluorinated cooling fluid for electronics.

The Internet Data Center (IDC) is one of the most important infrastructures in the field of information technology. The cooling system for heat dissipation of IDC is indispensable due to it generates a large amount of heat during its calculation process, which may potentially harm its normal operation. Electronic fluorinated fluids have been widely used in cooling systems of IDC with stable physical and chemical properties. However, the biological toxicity of electronic fluorinated fluids has not been fully evaluated and there is a lack of unified safety standards, which may pose potential risks to the environment and human health. Here, hexafluoropropylene terpolymer (HFPT) as an example has been systematically studied, fully considering the application scenarios of data centers. Also, the emergency effects of fluorinated coolants in mammalian models from the perspectives of inhalation, skin contact, accidental entry into eyes, accidental ingestion, and chronic toxicity, are evaluated. Multiple in vivo experiments have proven that HFPT not only has stable physical and chemical properties, that can maintain the safe operation of IDC, but also has low physiological toxicity to mammals and can provide health benefits to data center staff and the assurance of surrounding environment. This study proves the good biological safety of electronic fluorinated fluids and provides a reference for environmental assessment and risk management of liquid cooling technology in IDC.
