    Abstract: Iron homeostasis is crucial for a variety of biological processes, but the biological role of iron homeostasis in pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) remains largely unknown. The present study aimed to determine whether iron homeostasis is involved in maintaining the pluripotency of human PSCs (hPSCs). We found that the intracellular depletion of iron leads to a rapid downregulation of NANOG and a dramatic decrease in the self-renewal of hPSCs as well as spontaneous and nonspecific differentiation. Moreover, long-term depletion of iron can result in the remarkable cell death of hPSCs via apoptosis and necrosis pathways. Additionally, we found that the depletion of iron increased the activity of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (LP-PLA2) and the production of lysophosphatidylcholine, thereby suppressing NANOG expression by enhancer of zeste homolog 2-mediated trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27. Consistently, LP-PLA2 inhibition abrogated iron depletion-induced loss of pluripotency and differentiation. Altogether, the findings of our study demonstrates that iron homeostasis, acting through glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway, is essential for the pluripotency and survival of hPSCs.

    Abstract: To explore the effect of cordycepin on reducing lipid droplets in adipocytes. Methods Rats were fed a 60% high-fat diet to construct a hyperlipidaemia animal model and then treated with cordycepin at different concentrations for 8 weeks. Adipocytes were extracted, and BODIPY staining was used to detect the size of the lipid droplets. The adipocyte membrane proteins ASC-1, PAT2 and P2RX5 were assessed to determine the transformation of white adipocytes to beige and brown adipocytes. In an in vitro study, 3T3-L1 cells were cultured, and Western blotting was used to determine the expression of the lipid droplet-related genes Fsp27, perilipin 3, perilipin 2, PPAR-γ, Rab5, Rab7, Rab11, perilipin 1, ATGL and CGI-58. Results We found that cordycepin could promote the transformation of white adipocytes into beige and brown adipocytes. Cordycepin also downregulated the lipid droplet-associated genes Fsp27, perilipin 3, perilipin 2, Rab5, Rab11 and perilipin 1. Moreover, cordycepin reduced the expression of protein CGI-58, which inhibits lipid droplet degradation. In addition, cordycepin significantly increased the expression of ATGL, suggesting that cordycepin might stimulate lipolysis by upregulating the expression of ATGL instead of CGI-58 and by downregulating the expression of perilipin 1. Conclusions Cordycepin could blockade lipid droplet formation and promote lipid droplet degradation.

    Abstract: Adipose tissue plays a pivotal role in the pathology of metabolic disorders. In the past decade, brown and brown-like adipose tissues were detected in adult humans and show therapeutic potential in ageing-related metabolic diseases. Objective This study investigated expressions of major brown adipose markers in white adipose tissue (WAT) of different ages. Their associations with metabolic parameters and key adipokines were interrogated. Design Cross-sectional study, 2019-2021. Methods We recruited 21 young, 67 middle-aged, and 34 older patients. Omental adipose tissues were collected, and expressions of key brown markers and adipokines and the adipocyte size were evaluated. The fat depot distribution was evaluated by computed tomography. Results UCP1 and PRDM16 mRNA expressions declined with ageing in WAT and were more associated with age, than with the body mass index (BMI). The increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) amount, as well as the VAT to subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) ratio, was decreased in the highest tertile of UCP1 expression, while individuals in different PRDM16 mRNA tertiles exhibited similar fat distribution. UCP1 mRNA was positively correlated with ADIPOQ and the strength of the correlation declined with ageing. In contrast, the association between UCP1 and LEP was insignificant in young and middle-aged groups but became significantly correlated in the older-people group. We also found a positive correlation between UCP1 and PRDM16. Conclusions PRDM16 and UCP1, despite their key functions in adipose browning, exhibit differential clinical correlations with metabolic features in human WAT in an age-dependent manner. These two genes may participate in the pathogenesis of ageing-related metabolic diseases, but with distinct mechanisms.

    Abstract: Transitory starch, a major photosynthetic product in the leaves of land plants, accumulates in chloroplasts during the day and is hydrolyzed to maltose and Glc at night to support respiration and metabolism. Previous studies in Arabidopsis thaliana indicated that the degradation of transitory starch only occurs in the chloroplasts. Here, we report that autophagy, a nonplastidial process, participates in leaf starch degradation. Excessive starch accumulation was observed in Nicotiana benthamiana seedlings treated with an autophagy inhibitor and in autophagy-related (ATG) gene-silenced N. benthamiana and in Arabidopsis atg mutants. Autophagic activity in the leaves responded to the dynamic starch contents during the night. Microscopy showed that a type of small starch granule-like structure (SSGL) was localized outside the chloroplast and was sequestered by autophagic bodies. Moreover, an increased number of SSGLs was observed during starch depletion, and disruption of autophagy reduced the number of vacuole-localized SSGLs. These data suggest that autophagy contributes to transitory starch degradation by sequestering SSGLs to the vacuole for their subsequent breakdown.

    Abstract: The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) urgently calls for more sensitive molecular diagnosis to improve sensitivity of current viral nuclear acid detection. We have developed an anchor primer (AP)-based assay to improve viral RNA stability by bioinformatics identification of RNase-binding site of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA and implementing AP dually targeting the N gene of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and RNase 1, 3, 6. The arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) improvement of viral RNA integrity was supported by (a) the AP increased resistance of the targeted gene (N gene) of SARS-CoV-2 RNA to RNase treatment; (b) the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA by AP-PCR with lower cycle threshold values (−2.7 cycles) compared to two commercially available assays; (c) improvement of the viral RNA stability of the ORF gene upon targeting of the N gene and RNase. Furthermore, the improved sensitivity by AP-PCR was demonstrated by detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in 70–80% of sputum, nasal, pharyngeal swabs and feces and 36% (4/11) of urine of the confirmed cases (n = 252), 7% convalescent cases (n = 54) and none of 300 negative cases. Lastly, AP-PCR analysis of 306 confirmed and convalescent cases revealed prolonged presence of viral loading for & gt;20 days after the first positive diagnosis. Thus, the AP dually targeting SARS-CoV-2 RNA and RNase improves molecular detection by preserving SARS-CoV-2 RNA integrity and reveals the prolonged viral loading associated with older age and male gender in COVID-19 patients.
