    Abstract: As an important feeding organ and taxonomical characteristic, the pharyngeal teeth of cyprinid fish have very high morphological diversity and exhibit species-specific numbers and arrangements. Many genes have been verified to regulate the pharyngeal teeth development and act as the initiation marker for teeth. Six initiation marker genes for pharyngeal teeth were used as RNA probes to investigate the expression pattern, and these genes were further used to construct a phylogenetic tree for cyprinid fish including some distant hybrids. The results from in situ hybridization showed that similarities and differences existed in the expression of dlx2b , dlx4b , dlx5a , pitx2, fth1b , and scpp5 in the pharyngeal region of the hybrids (BT) by the crosses of blunt snout bream (BSB, ♀) × topmouth culter (TC, ♂). Particularly, we found a high specificity marker gene scpp5 for the early development of pharyngeal teeth. The Scpp5 expression pattern established a clear graphic representation on the spatiotemporal characteristics of the early morphogenesis of pharyngeal teeth in BT and BSB. Our results suggested that the s cpp5 expression in 4V 1 , 3V 1 , and 5V 1 in BT occurred earlier than that in BSB, while the replacement rate of pharyngeal teeth (4V 2 , 3V 2 , and 5V 2 ) was faster in BSB. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the six marker genes were highly conserved and could be used as the molecular marker for identifying the parents of the distant hybrids in cyprinid fish. The expression patterns of the scpp5 gene was examined in various tissues, including the brain, gill, heart, liver, muscle, skin, fins, gonad, eye, and kidney, showing that the scpp5 gene was ubiquitously expressed, indicating its important role in cyprinid fish.

    Abstract: The model uncertainty may result in inconsistency about the environmental factors of myopia among students, and the Bayesian model average (BMA) is an effective way to eliminate it. We aimed to explore the influencing factors of myopia in primary and middle school students by BMA. Methods The data came from the 2021 National Surveillance of Common Diseases and Health Influencing Factors of students. By stratified random cluster sampling, the physical and mental health status of students in Tianjin and the factors affecting their physical health, such as diet, exercise, mental stress, school bullying, sleep time, and internet use, were investigated. The sample consisted of 8,457 primary school students, 8,191 junior middle school students, and 5,901 senior middle school students. Besides the physical examination, we used computer optometry (non-ciliary paralysis) to screen myopia. And we used BMA to select the risk factors through the BMS package in R. Results The exercise was the only factor that affected the eyesight of junior and senior middle schoolers by BMA, with the posterior probability of 0.9736 and 0.9762, but not for the primary students. And we failed to select variables that affected eyesight in grades 4–6 of primary school. Conclusion The exercise was a strong influencing factor for the eyesight of students in Tianjin's junior and senior middle schools.

    Abstract: As a critical immune checkpoint molecule, PD-L1 is expressed at significantly higher levels in multiple neoplastic tissues compared to normal ones. PD-L1/PD-1 axis is a critical target for tumor immunotherapy, blocking the PD-L1/PD-1 axis is recognized and has achieved unprecedented success in clinical applications. However, the clinical efficacy of therapies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway remains limited, emphasizing the need for the mechanistic elucidation of PD-1/PD-L1 expression. In this study, we found that RNF125 interacted with PD-L1 and regulated PD-L1 protein expression. Mechanistically, RNF125 promoted K48-linked polyubiquitination of PD-L1 and mediated its degradation. Notably, MC-38 and H22 cell lines with RNF125 knockout, transplanted in C57BL/6 mice, exhibited a higher PD-L1 level and faster tumor growth than their parental cell lines. In contrast, overexpression of RNF125 in MC-38 and H22 cells had the opposite effect, resulting in lower PD-L1 levels and delayed tumor growth compared with parental cell lines. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis of MC-38 tumors with RNF125 overexpression showed significantly increased infiltration of CD4+, CD8+ T cells and macrophages. Consistent with these findings, analyses using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) public database revealed a positive correlation of RNF125 expression with CD4+, CD8+ T cell and macrophage tumor infiltration. Moreover, RNF125 expression was significantly downregulated in several human cancer tissues, and was negatively correlated with the clinical stage of these tumors, and patients with higher RNF125 expression had better clinical outcomes. Our findings identify a novel mechanism for regulating PD-L1 expression and may provide a new strategy to increase the efficacy of immunotherapy.

    Abstract: Chalkiness is one of several major restricting factors for the improvement of rice quality. Although many chalkiness-related quantitative trait loci have been mapped, only a small number of genes have been cloned to date. In this study, the candidate gene GSE5 of a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for rice chalkiness, qDEC5 , was identified by map-based cloning. Phenotyping and haplotype analysis of proActin:GSE5 transgenic line, gse5-cr mutant, and 69 rice varieties further confirmed that GSE5 had the pleiotropic effects and regulated both chalkiness and grain shape. Genetic analysis showed GSE5 was a dominant gene for grain length and a semi-dominant gene for grain width and chalkiness. The DNA interval closely linked to GSE5 was introgressed to Zhenshan 97B (ZB) based on molecular marker-assisted selection, and the improved ZB showed lower chalkiness and longer but smaller grains, which showed that GSE5 played an important role in breeding rice varieties with high yield and good quality. Transcriptomics, proteomics, and qRT-PCR analyses showed that thirty-nine genes associated with carbon and protein metabolism are regulated by GSE5 to affect the formation of chalkiness, including some newly discovered genes, such as OsCESA9 , OsHSP70 , OsTPS8 , OsPFK04 , OsSTA1 , OsERdj3A , etc. The low-chalkiness lines showed higher amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism at 10 days after pollination (DAP), lower carbohydrate metabolism at 15 DAP, and lower protein metabolism at 10 and 15 DAP. With heat shock at 34/30°C, rice chalkiness increased significantly; OsDjC10 and OsSUS3 were upregulated at 6 and 12 DAP, respectively, and OsGSTL2 was downregulated at 12 DAP. Our results identified the function and pleiotropic effects of qDEC5 dissected its genetic characteristics and the expression profiles of the genes affecting the chalkiness formation, and provided a theoretical basis and application value to harmoniously pursue high yield and good quality in rice production.

    Abstract: The complex gut bacterial communities may facilitate the function, distribution, and diversity of birds. For migratory birds, long-distance traveling poses selection pressures on their gut microbiota, ultimately affecting the birds’ health, fitness, ecology, and evolution. However, our understanding of mechanisms that underlie the assembly of the gut microbiome of migratory birds is limited. In this study, the gut microbiota of winter migratory birds in the Poyang Lake wetland was characterized using MiSeq sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. The sampled bird included herbivorous, carnivorous, and omnivorous birds from a total of 17 species of 8 families. Our results showed that the gut microbiota of migratory birds was dominated by four major bacterial phyla: Firmicutes (47.8%), Proteobacteria (18.2%), Fusobacteria (12.6%), and Bacteroidetes (9.1%). Dietary specialization outweighed the phylogeny of birds as an important factor governing the gut microbiome, mainly through regulating the deterministic processes of homogeneous selection and stochastic processes of homogeneous dispersal balance. Moreover, the omnivorous had more bacterial diversity than the herbivorous and carnivorous. Microbial networks for the gut microbiome of the herbivorous and carnivorous were less integrated, i.e., had lower average node degree and greater decreased network stability upon node attack removal than those of the omnivorous birds. Our findings advance the understanding of host-microbiota interactions and the evolution of migratory bird dietary flexibility and diversification.

    Abstract: Adolescent patients with depressive disorders commonly exhibit somatic symptoms, which have a significant negative impact on their treatment and prognosis. Despite this, specific brain imaging characteristics of these symptoms have been poorly studied. Methods The Hamilton Depression Rating scale (HAMD-17), Children’s Functional Somatization scale (CSI), and Toronto Alexithymia scale (TAS) were used to evaluate the clinical symptoms of adolescent depression. We analyzed the correlation between brain gray matter volume (GMV) and clinical symptoms in adolescent patients with depression and somatic symptoms. Results The depression subgroups with and without functional somatic symptoms (FSS) had higher scores on the HAMD-17, CSI, and TAS than the normal control group. The group with FSS had higher HAMD-17, CSI, and TAS scores than the depression group without FSS ( p   & lt; 0.05). CSI and TAS scores were positively correlated ( r  = 0.378, p   & lt; 0.05). The GMV of the right supplementary motor area was higher in the depression groups with and without FSSs than in the normal control group, and the GMV was higher in the group without FSS than in the group with FSS ( F  = 29.394, p   & lt; 0.05). The GMV of the right supplementary motor area was negatively correlated with CSI in the depressed group with FSS ( r  = −0.376, p   & lt; 0.05). In the group with depression exhibiting FSS, CSI scores were positively correlated with GMV of the middle occipital gyrus ( pr  = 0.665, p  = 0.0001), and TAS scores were positively correlated with GMV of the caudate nucleus ( pr  = 0.551, p  = 0.001). Conclusion Somatic symptoms of adolescent depressive disorder are associated with alexithymia; moreover, somatic symptoms and alexithymia in adolescent patients with depressive disorders are correlated with GMV changes in different brain regions.

    Abstract: Despite tremendous progress made in the diagnosis and managements, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) remains a global medical dilemma with dismal clinical prognosis and high mortality. Gene NT5E encodes the ecto-5’-nucleotidase (CD73), which facilitates the formation of immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) permissive for tumor progression in various malignancies. Nevertheless, the cell subsets NT5E expressed on and the potential function of NT5E in the TME of HNSC remain virgin lands in HNSC. In this study, we comprehensively performed integrated prognostic analysis and elucidated that NT5E was an independent prognostic indicator for HNSC, for which a high NT5E level predicted poor overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS) and progression-free interval (PFI) in HNSC patients ( p & lt;0.05). Enrichment analyses revealed the close correlation between NT5E and ECM remodeling, and the latent function of NT5E may involve in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis during HNSC progression. HNSC-related immune infiltration analysis and single-cell type analysis demonstrated that NT5E expression was significantly positively associated with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in HNSC ( p & lt;0.01). NT5E-related TME analysis revealed that NT5E-high group are characterized by low neoantigen loads (NAL, p & lt;0.001) and tumor mutation burden (TMB, p & lt;0.01), indicating high-NT5E-expression HNSC patients may be recalcitrant to immunotherapy. In-situ multicolor immunofluorescence staining was later conducted and the results further verified our findings. Taken together, NT5E could be a novel biomarker in HNSC. Predominantly expressed on CAFs, the upregulation of NT5E might predict an immunosuppressive TME for HNSC patients who may benefit little from immunotherapy. Targeting CAFs with high NT5E expression might be a novel therapeutic strategy for HNSC patients.

    Abstract: Gut microbiome alteration was closely associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). Previous studies had demonstrated the bacteria composition changes but lacked virome profiles, trans-kindom interactions, and reliable diagnostic model explorations in CRC. Hence, we performed metagenomic sequencing to investigate the gut microbiome and microbial interactions in adenoma and CRC patients. We found the decreased microbial diversity in CRC and revealed the taxonomic alterations of bacteria and viruses were highly associated with CRC at the species level. The relative abundance of oral-derived species, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum , Fusobacterium hwasookii , Porphyromonas gingivalis , and Bacteroides fragilis , increased. At the same time, butyrate-producing and anti-inflammatory microbes decreased in adenoma and CRC by non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Despite that, the relative abundance of Escherichia viruses and Salmonella viruses increased, whereas some phages, including Enterobacteria phages and Uncultured crAssphage , decreased along with CRC development. Gut bacteria was negatively associated with viruses in CRC and healthy control by correlation analysis (P=0.017 and 0.002, respectively). Viruses were much more dynamic than the bacteria as the disease progressed, and the altered microbial interactions were distinctively stage-dependent. The degree centrality of microbial interactions decreased while closeness centrality increased along with the adenoma to cancer development. Uncultured crAssphage was the key bacteriophage that enriched in healthy controls and positively associated with butyrate-producing bacteria. Diagnostic tests based on bacteria by random forest confirmed in independent cohorts showed better performance than viruses for CRC. In conclusion, our study revealed the novel CRC-associated bacteria and viruses that exhibited specific differences and intensive microbial correlations, which provided a reliable diagnostic panel for CRC.

    Abstract: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the leading causes of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Many studies have shown the significance of pathological manifestations in predicting the outcome of patients with IgAN, especially T -score of Oxford classification. Evaluating prognosis may be hampered in patients without renal biopsy. Methods A baseline dataset of 690 patients with IgAN and an independent follow-up dataset of 1,168 patients were used as training and testing sets to develop the pathology T -score prediction ( T pre ) model based on the stacking algorithm, respectively. The 5-year ESKD prediction models using clinical variables (base model), clinical variables and real pathological T -score (base model plus T bio ), and clinical variables and T pre (base model plus T pre ) were developed separately in 1,168 patients with regular follow-up to evaluate whether T pre could assist in predicting ESKD. In addition, an external validation set consisting of 355 patients was used to evaluate the performance of the 5-year ESKD prediction model using T pre . Results The features selected by AUCRF for the T pre model included age, systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, proteinuria, eGFR, serum IgA, and uric acid. The AUC of the T pre was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.80–0.85) in an independent testing set. For the 5-year ESKD prediction model, the AUC of the base model was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.75–0.97). When the T bio was added to the base model, there was an increase in AUC [from 0.86 (95% CI: 0.75–0.97) to 0.92 (95% CI: 0.85–0.98); P = 0.03]. There was no difference in AUC between the base model plus T pre and the base model plus T bio [0.90 (95% CI: 0.82–0.99) vs . 0.92 (95% CI: 0.85–0.98), P = 0.52]. The AUC of the 5-year ESKD prediction model using T pre was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.87–0.99) in the external validation set. Conclusion A pathology T -score prediction ( T pre ) model using routine clinical characteristics was constructed, which could predict the pathological severity and assist clinicians to predict the prognosis of IgAN patients lacking kidney pathology scores.
