    Abstract: To examine the microbial profiles in parenchyma tissues in bladder cancer. Methods Tissue samples of cancerous bladder mucosa were collected from patients diagnosed with bladder cancer (22 carcinoma tissues and 12 adjacent normal tissues). The V3‐V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene was PCR amplified, followed by sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq platform. Bioinformatics analysis for microbial classification and functional assessment was performed to assess bladder microbiome diversity and variations. Results The predominant phylum in both tissues was Proteobacteria . The cancerous tissues exhibited lower species richness and diversity. Beta diversity significantly differed between the cancerous and normal tissues. Lower relative abundances of the microbial genera Lactobacillus , Prevotella_9, as well as Ruminococcaceae were observed, whereas those of Cupriavidus spp., an unknown genus of family Brucellaceae , and Acinetobacter , Anoxybacillus , Escherichia‐Shigella , Geobacillus , Pelomonas , Ralstonia , and Sphingomonas were higher in the cancerous tissues. These findings indicate that these genera may be potentially utilized as biomarkers for bladder cancer. PICRUSt analysis revealed that several pathways involved in the metabolism of harmful chemical compounds were enriched in the cancer tissues, thereby providing evidence that environmental factors are strongly associated with bladder cancer etiology. Conclusion This is the first study that has described and analyzed the dysbiotic motifs of urinary microbiota in the parenchymatous tissues of bladder cancer via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Our results suggest that changes in the bladder microbiome may serve as biomarkers for bladder cancer, possibly assisting in disease screening and monitoring.

    Abstract: We report a draft sequence for the genome of the domesticated silkworm ( Bombyx mori ), covering 90.9% of all known silkworm genes. Our estimated gene count is 18,510, which exceeds the 13,379 genes reported for Drosophila melanogaster . Comparative analyses to fruitfly, mosquito, spider, and butterfly reveal both similarities and differences in gene content.

    Abstract: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune liver disease with a strong hereditary component. Here, we report a genome-wide association study that included 1,122 PBC cases and 4,036 controls of Han Chinese descent, with subsequent replication in a separate cohort of 907 PBC cases and 2,127 controls. Our results show genome-wide association of 14 PBC risk loci including previously identified 6p21 ( HLA-DRA and DPB1 ), 17q12 ( ORMDL3 ), 3q13.33 ( CD80 ), 2q32.3 ( STAT1 / STAT4 ), 3q25.33 ( IL12A ), 4q24 ( NF-κB ) and 22q13.1 ( RPL3 / SYNGR1 ). We also identified variants in IL21 , IL21R , CD28/CTLA4/ICOS , CD58 , ARID3A and IL16 as novel PBC risk loci. These new findings and histochemical studies showing enhanced expression of IL21 and IL21R in PBC livers (particularly in the hepatic portal tracks) support a disease mechanism in which the deregulation of the IL21 signalling pathway, in addition to CD4 T-cell activation and T-cell co-stimulation are critical components in the development of PBC.

    Abstract: Objectives: Tumor cells were reported to have perpetual negative surface charges due to elevated glycolysis, and multifunctional nanoprobes (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2, mNPs) could attach onto tumor cells via opposite surface charges. We thus evaluated whether mixing mNPs with urine could improve the sensitivity of urine cytology test (UCT). Methods: We developed a novel UCT method by mixing urine with mNPs (Nano-cytology) to harvest more tumor cells during UCT procedures. The same voided urine sample was divided equally for the Nano-cytology and UCT assay, and evaluated by cytopathologists in a blinded way. The accuracy of UCT, Nano-cytology, and the combination of the two approaches (Nano-UCT) for detecting bladder cancer were determined. Results: Urine samples were prospectively collected from 102 bladder cancer patients and 49 non-cancer participants from June 2020 to February 2021 in Changhai Hospital. Overall sensitivity of the Nano-cytology assay was significantly higher than that of the UCT assay (82.4 vs. 59.8%, p & lt; .01). Sensitivity for low- and high-grade tumors was 79.1% and 39.5% ( p & lt; .01) and 84.7% and 74.6% ( p = .25) for Nano-cytology and UCT, respectively. Specificity of Nano-cytology was slightly lower than that of UCT (89.8% vs. 100%, p = .022), which is mainly caused by severe urinary tract infection. In addition, Nano-UCT showed increased sensitivity with 90.2% for overall patients, and 83.7% and 94.9% for low- and high-grade tumor, respectively. Conclusion: The Nano-cytology assay had a significantly improved sensitivity compared with UCT for detecting bladder cancer patients. It represents a promising tool for diagnosis of bladder cancer in clinical practice.

    Abstract: The fast growth, ease of metabolic labelling and potential for feedstock and biofuels production make duckweeds not only an attractive model system for understanding plant biology, but also a potential future crop. However, current duckweed research is constrained by the lack of efficient genetic manipulation tools. Here, we report a case study on genome editing in a duckweed species, Lemna aequinoctialis , using a fast and efficient transformation and CRISPR /Cas9 tool. By optimizing currently available transformation protocols, we reduced the duration time of Agrobacterium‐ mediated transformation to 5–6 weeks with a success rate of over 94%. Based on the optimized transformation protocol, we generated 15 (14.3% success rate) biallelic La PDS mutants that showed albino phenotype using a CRISPR /Cas9 system. Investigations on CRISPR /Cas9‐mediated mutation spectrum among mutated L. aequinoctialis showed that most of mutations were short insertions and deletions. This study presents the first example of CRISPR /Cas9‐mediated genome editing in duckweeds, which will open new research avenues in using duckweeds for both basic and applied research.

    Abstract: Fiber photometry is a recently-developed method that indirectly measures neural activity by monitoring Ca 2+ signals in genetically-identified neuronal populations. Although fiber photometry is widely used in neuroscience research, the relationship between the recorded Ca 2+ signals and direct electrophysiological measurements of neural activity remains elusive. Here, we simultaneously recorded odor-evoked Ca 2+ and electrophysiological signals [single-unit spikes and local field potentials (LFPs)] from mitral/tufted cells in the olfactory bulb of awake, head-fixed mice. Odors evoked responses in all types of signal but the response characteristics (e.g., type of response and time course) differed. The Ca 2+ signal was correlated most closely with power in the β-band of the LFP. The Ca 2+ signal performed slightly better at odor classification than high-γ oscillations, worse than single-unit spikes, and similarly to β oscillations. These results provide new information to help researchers select an appropriate method for monitoring neural activity under specific conditions.

    Abstract: Senile osteoporosis with age-related bone loss is diagnosed depending on radiographic changes of bone and bone mineral density (BMD) measurement. However, radiographic alterations are usually signs of medium-late stage osteoporosis. Therefore, biomarkers have been proposed as indicators of bone loss. In the current study, Galectin-1 (Gal-1) showed age-related decline in mice serum. The role of Gal-1 in osteoporosis has not been investigated so far. Hence, the current study illustrated the relationship of serum Gal-1 level with bone loss. Methods We employed 6- and 18-month-old mice to establish an animal model of age-related trabecular bone loss, whose bone density and microstructure were investigated by micro-CT. ELISA was used to measure the levels of Gal-1 in serum. The correlation analysis was performed to illustrate the relationship between serum Gal-1 levels and trabecular bone loss. In addition, immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the abundance of Gal-1 in bone marrow of mice. ELISA and western blot were performed to measure the secretion ability and protein expression of Gal-1 in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC), hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and myeloid progenitor (MP) respectively. Flow cytometry was used to measure BMSC number in bone marrow. Finally, male volunteers with age-related BMD decrease were recruited and the relationship between serum Gal-1 and BMD was analyzed. Results Gal-1 showed age-related decline in mice serum. Serum Gal-1 was positively associated with BV/TV of femur, tibia and L1 vertebrae in mice. BMSC secreted more Gal-1 compared with HSC and MP. BMSC number in bone marrow was significantly lower in aged mice compared with young mice. Significant attenuation of Gal-1 protein expression was observed in BMSC and HSC from aged mice compared with young mice. Further, we found a decline in serum Gal-1 levels in men with age-related BMD decrease. There was positive correlation between BMD and serum Gal-1 levels in these men. Conclusions Age-related trabecular bone loss is associated with a decline in serum Gal-1 level in mice and men. Our study suggested Gal-1 had great potential to be a biomarker for discovering BMSC senescence, diagnosing early osteoporosis and monitoring trabecular bone loss.
