    Abstract: Unsynchronized growth is a common phenomenon in farmed crustaceans. The underlying molecular mechanism of unsynchronized growth of crustaceans is unclear. In this study, a comparative proteomic analysis focusing on growth differences was performed using kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus , an economic crustacean species, as the model. The study analyzed kuruma shrimp at fast growth stage and steady growth stage from both fast growth group and slow growth group by an Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)-based quantitative proteomic analysis method. A total of 1,720 proteins, including 12,291 peptides, were identified. Fifty-two and 70 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in the fast growth stage and steady growth stage, respectively. Interestingly, 10 DEPs, including 14-3-3-epsilon-like, GPI, GPD1, MHC-1a, and MHC-1b, were presented in both growth stages. In addition, all these 10 DEPs shared the same expression tendency at these two growth stages. The results indicated that these 10 DEPs are potential growth biomarkers of M. japonicus . Proteins associated with faster growth of M. japonicus may promote cell growth and inhibit cell apoptosis through the Hippo signaling pathway. The fast growth group of M. japonicus may also achieve growth superiority by activating multiple related metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, glycerophospholipid metabolism and Citrate cycle. The present study provides a new perspective to explore the molecular mechanism of unsynchronized growth in crustacean species.

    Abstract: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common infection of the lower genital tract with a vaginal microbiome dysbiosis caused by decreasing of lactobacilli. Previous studies suggested that supplementation with live Lactobacillus may benefit the recovery of BV, however, the outcomes vary in people from different regions. Herein, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of oral Chinese-origin Lactobacillus with adjuvant metronidazole (MET) on treating Chinese BV patients. In total, 67 Chinese women with BV were enrolled in this parallel controlled trial and randomly assigned to two study groups: a control group treated with MET vaginal suppositories for 7 days and a probiotic group treated with oral Lactobacillus gasseri TM13 and Lactobacillus crispatus LG55 as an adjuvant to MET for 30 days. By comparing the participants with Nugent Scores ≥ 7 and & lt; 7 on days 14, 30, and 90, we found that oral administration of probiotics did not improve BV cure rates (72.73% and 84.00% at day 14, 57.14% and 60.00% at day 30, 32.14% and 48.39% at day 90 for probiotic and control group respectively). However, the probiotics were effective in restoring vaginal health after cure by showing higher proportion of participants with Nugent Scores & lt; 4 in the probiotic group compared to the control group (87.50% and 71.43% on day 14, 93.75% and 88.89% on day 30, and 77.78% and 66.67% on day 90). The relative abundance of the probiotic strains was significantly increased in the intestinal microbiome of the probiotic group compared to the control group at day 14, but no significance was detected after 30 and 90 days. Also, the probiotics were not detected in vaginal microbiome, suggesting that L. gasseri TM13 and L. crispatus LG55 mainly acted through the intestine. A higher abundance of Prevotella timonensis at baseline was significantly associated with long-term cure failure of BV and greatly contributed to the enrichment of the lipid IVA synthesis pathway, which could aggravate inflammation response. To sum up, L. gasseri TM13 and L. crispatus LG55 can restore the vaginal health of patients recovering from BV, and individualized intervention mode should be developed to restore the vaginal health of patients recovering from BV.

    Abstract: Background: The genetic factors in assessing therapeutic efficacy and predicting antihypertensive drug response are unclear. Therefore, this study aims to identify the associations between variants and antihypertensive drug response. Methods: A longitudinal study including 1837 hypertensive patients was conducted in Northern China and followed up for a median 2.24 years. The associations of 11 candidate variants with blood pressure changes in response to antihypertensive drugs and with the risk of cardiovascular events during the follow-up were examined. The dual-luciferase assay was carried out to assess the effect of genetic variants on gene transcriptional activity. Results: The variant rs11039149A & gt;G in the promoter of nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 ( NR1H3 ) was associated with the change in systolic blood pressure (ΔSBP) in response to calcium channel blockers (CCBs) monotherapy. Patients carrying rs11039149AG genotype showed a significant increase of systolic blood pressure (SBP) at follow-up compared with AA carriers, and the difference of ΔSBP between AG and AA carriers was 5.94 mm Hg (95%CI: 2.09–9.78, p = 0.002). In 1,184 patients with CCBs therapy, SBP levels decreased in AA carriers, but increased in AG carriers, the difference of ΔSBP between AG and AA carriers was 8.04 mm Hg (95%CI: 3.28–12.81, p = 0.001). Further analysis in 359 patients with CCBs monotherapy, the difference of ΔSBP between AG and AA carriers was 15.25 mm Hg (95%CI: 6.48–24.02, p = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in ΔSBP between AG and AA carriers with CCBs multitherapy. The rs11039149A & gt;G was not associated with the cardiovascular events incidence during the follow-up. Additionally, transcriptional factor forkhead box C1 ( FOXC1 ) bound to the NR1H3 promoter containing rs11039149A and significantly increased the transcriptional activity, while rs11039149 A to G change led to a loss-of-function and disabled FOXC1 binding. For the other 10 variants, associations with blood pressure changes or risk of cardiovascular events were not observed. Conclusion: Hypertensive patients with rs11039149AG genotype in the NR1H3 gene have a significant worse SBP control in response to CCBs monotherapy compared with AA carriers. Our findings suggest that the NR1H3 gene might act as a promising genetic factor to affect individual sensitivity to antihypertensive drugs.

    Abstract: Background: High plasma levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and its precursor choline have been linked to stroke; however, their association with cerebral small vessel disease remains unclear. Here we evaluated the association of plasma levels of TMAO and choline with imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease, including white matter hyperintensities, lacunes, and cerebral microbleeds. Methods: We performed a baseline cross-sectional analysis of a multicenter hospital-based cohort study from 2015 to 2018. The data were collected from 30 hospitals in China and included 1,098 patients with ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack aged ≥18 years. White matter hyperintensities, lacunes, and cerebral microbleeds were evaluated with the patients' demographic, clinical, and laboratory information removed. White matter hyperintensities were rated using the Fazekas visual grading scale, while the degree of severity of the lacunes and cerebral microbleeds was defined by the number of lesions. Results: Increased TMAO levels were associated with severe white matter hyperintensities [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for the highest vs. lowest quartile, 1.5; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0–2.1, p = 0.04]. High TMAO levels were more strongly associated with severe periventricular white matter hyperintensities (aOR for the highest vs. lowest quartile, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.1–2.3, p = 0.009) than deep white matter hyperintensities (aOR for the highest vs. lowest quartile, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.9–1.9, p = 0.16). No significant association was observed between TMAO and lacunes or cerebral microbleeds. Choline showed trends similar to that of TMAO in the association with cerebral small vessel disease. Conclusions: In patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, TMAO and choline appear to be associated with white matter hyperintensities, but not with lacunes or cerebral microbleeds; TMAO and choline were associated with increased risk of a greater periventricular, rather than deep, white matter hyperintensities burden.

    Abstract: Adenocarcinoma at the gastroesophageal junction (ACGEJ) refers to a malignant tumor that occurs at the esophagogastric junction. Despite some progress in targeted therapies for HER2, FGFR2, EGFR, MET, Claudin 18.2 and immune checkpoints in ACGEJ tumors, the 5-year survival rate of patients remains poor. Thus, it is urgent to explore genomic alterations and neoantigen characteristics of tumors and identify CD8+ T-cell infiltration-associated genes to find potential therapeutic targets and develop a risk model to predict ACGEJ patients’ overall survival (OS). Methods Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on 55 paired samples from Chinese ACGEJ patients. Somatic mutations and copy number variations were detected by Strelka2 and FACETS, respectively. SigProfiler and SciClone were employed to decipher the mutation signature and clonal structure of each sample, respectively. Neoantigens were predicted using the MuPeXI pipeline. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data of ACGEJ samples from our previous studies and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used to identify genes significantly associated with CD8+ T-cell infiltration by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA). To construct a risk model, we conducted LASSO and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results Recurrent MAP2K7 , RNF43 and RHOA mutations were found in ACGEJ tumors. The COSMIC signature SBS17 was associated with ACGEJ progression. CCNE1 and VEGFA were identified as putative CNV driver genes. PI3KCA and TP53 mutations conferred selective advantages to cancer cells. The Chinese ACGEJ patient neoantigen landscape was revealed for the first time, and 58 potential neoantigens common to TSNAdb and IEDB were identified. Compared with Siewert type II samples, Siewert type III samples had significant enrichment of the SBS17 signature, a lower TNFRSF14 copy number, a higher proportion of samples with complex clonal architecture and a higher neoantigen load. We identified 10 important CD8+ T-cell infiltration-related Hub genes ( CCL5 , CD2 , CST7 , GVINP1 , GZMK , IL2RB , IKZF3 , PLA2G2D , P2RY10 and ZAP70 ) as potential therapeutic targets from the RNA-seq data. Seven CD8+ T-cell infiltration-related genes ( ADAM28 , ASPH , CAMK2N1 , F2R , STAP1 , TP53INP2 , ZC3H3 ) were selected to construct a prognostic model. Patients classified as high risk based on this model had significantly worse OS than low-risk patients, which was replicated in the TCGA-ACGEJ cohort. Conclusions This study provides new neoantigen-based immunotherapeutic targets for ACGEJ treatment and effective disease prognosis biomarkers.

    Abstract: The plants of the genus Physalis L. have been extensively utilized in traditional and indigenous Chinese medicinal practices for treating a variety of ailments, including dermatitis, malaria, asthma, hepatitis, and liver disorders. The present review aims to achieve a comprehensive and up-to-date investigation of the genus Physalis , a new model crop, to understand plant diversity and fruit development. Several chloroplast DNA-, nuclear ribosomal DNA-, and genomic DNA-based markers, such as psbA-trnH , internal-transcribed spacer (ITS), simple sequence repeat (SSR), random amplified microsatellites (RAMS), sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), were developed for molecular identification, genetic diversity, and phylogenetic studies of Physalis species. A large number of functional genes involved in inflated calyx syndrome development ( AP2-L , MPF2 , MPF3 , and MAGO ), organ growth ( AG1 , AG2 , POS1 , and CNR1 ), and active ingredient metabolism ( 24ISO , DHCRT , P450-CPL , SR , DUF538 , TAS14 , and 3β-HSB ) were identified contributing to the breeding of novel Physalis varieties. Various omic studies revealed and functionally identified a series of reproductive organ development-related factors, environmental stress-responsive genes, and active component biosynthesis-related enzymes. The chromosome-level genomes of Physalis floridana Rydb., Physalis grisea (Waterf.) M. Martínez, and Physalis pruinosa L. have been recently published providing a valuable resource for genome editing in Physalis crops. Our review summarizes the recent progress in genetic diversity, molecular identification, phylogenetics, functional genes, and the application of omics in the genus Physalis and accelerates efficient utilization of this traditional herb.
