    Abstract: Psoriasis is a chronic multifactorial disease and is considered to be strongly associated with the major histocompatibility complex ( MHC ) region. We have discovered an independent, novel and susceptible psoriasis risk HLA loci, rs9266150; P  = 4.52 × 10 −9 for the first time. In this study, we aimed to verify the relationship between the susceptible locus and the subphenotypes of psoriasis vulgaris ( PV ), including geographic location, gender, age of onset, family history and present skin lesion types (chronic plaque and guttate). To investigate the distribution and association of the rs9266150 gene with clinical phenotypes of PV in Chinese Han population, we conducted an analysis in case‐control and case‐only subjects in the 9906 controls and 8744 cases by MHC targeted sequencing stratified analysis in this study. Significant associations were found with a northern geographic location in the case‐only ( P  = 1.97 × 10 −4 ) and the subphenotype‐control analyses ( P  = 5.57 × 10 −5 ), males in the case‐only ( P  = 4.77 × 10 −3 ) and the subphenotype‐control analyses ( P  = 7.31 × 10 −4 ), and guttate psoriasis in the case‐only ( P  = 4.08 × 10 −3 ) and the subphenotype‐control analyses ( P  = 1.27 × 10 −3 ). There were no significant differences observed between the age of onset ( OR  = 1.062, 95% CI : 0.9725‐1.16, P  = 1.8 × 10 −1 ) and the family history of psoriasis ( OR  = 0.981, 95% CI : 0.9048‐1.064, P  = 6.43 × 10 −1 ). The recessive model provided the best fit for rs9266150 ( P  = 4.38 × 10 −7 ). Our results implied that rs9266150 might not only play an important role in the development of psoriasis, but also be positively associated with the geographic location, gender and present skin lesion in the Chinese population.

    Abstract: The study of microorganisms in outer space has focused mainly on investigating phenotypic changes in microbial pathogens induced by factors encountered in space. This study aimed to investigate the effect of space exposure on a probiotic bacterium, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Probio-M9. Probio-M9 cells were exposed to space in a spaceflight. Interestingly, our results showed that a substantial proportion of space-exposed mutants (35/100) exhibited a ropy phenotype, characterized by their larger colony sizes and an acquired ability to produce capsular polysaccharide (CPS), compared with the original Probio-M9 or the ground control isolates without space exposure. Whole-genome sequencing analyses on both the Illumina and PacBio platforms revealed a skewed distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms (12/89 [13.5%]) toward the CPS gene cluster, particularly in the wze ( ywqD ) gene. The wze gene encodes a putative tyrosine-protein kinase that regulates CPS expression through substrate phosphorylation. Transcriptomics analysis of two space-exposed ropy mutants revealed increased expression in the wze gene relative to a ground control isolate. Finally, we showed that the acquired ropy phenotype (CPS-producing ability) and space-induced genomic changes could be stably inherited. Our findings confirmed that the wze gene directly influences the capacity for CPS production in Probio-M9, and space mutagenesis is a potential strategy for inducing stable physiological changes in probiotics. IMPORTANCE This work investigated the effect of space exposure on a probiotic bacterium, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Probio-M9. Interestingly, the space-exposed bacteria became capable of producing capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Some probiotic-derived CPSs have nutraceutical potential and bioactive properties. They also enhance the survival of probiotics through the gastrointestinal transit and ultimately strengthen the probiotic effects. Space mutagenesis seems to be a promising strategy for inducing stable changes in probiotics, and the obtained high-CPS-yielding mutants are valuable resources for future applications.

    Abstract: The human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is known to be highly polymorphic and has been identified to be associated with numerous diseases. The HLA‐DPB1 and BTNL2 genes were associated with psoriasis for the first time. The present study aims to investigate the relevance of the HLA‐DPB1 and BTNL2 genes with respect to clinical phenotypes of psoriasis vulgaris (PV). Methods To investigate whether the HLA‐DPB1 and BTNL2 polymorphisms were associated with clinical phenotypes of PV in Chinese Han population, we conducted an analysis in case–controls and case‐only subjects (9906 controls and 8744 cases) via MHC targeted sequencing stratified analysis. Results In cases and controls, analysis showed that the genotype of HLA‐DPB1*05:01 was associated with type of guttate [ p  = 3.914 × 10 −2 , odds ratio (OR = 0.9335)] and northern region ( p  = 1.182 × 10 −3 , OR = 0.9108). In the case‐only analysis, the genotype of HLA‐DPB1*05:01 was significantly correlated with geographical region ( p  = 1.36 × 10 −3 , OR = 1.134). In cases and controls, analysis showed that the genotype of BTNL2 (rs 41355746) was associated with being male ( p  = 2.563 × 10 −2 , OR = 0.8897), early‐onset ( p  = 9.399 × 10 −3 , OR = 0.8856), guttate ( p  = 2.469 × 10 −2 , OR = 0.8558) and family history ( p  = 1.51 × 10 −4 , OR = 0.772). In the case‐only analysis, the genotype of BTNL2 (rs41355746) was significantly correlated with family history ( p  = 1.768 × 10 −3 , OR = 0.757) and age of onset ( p  = 3.818 × 10 −2 , OR = 1.195). Conclusions The results of the present study indicate that the HLA‐DPB1*05:01 gene was associated with the geographical region of PV and the BTNL2 gene was significantly associated with family history and age of onset of PV. In conclusion, the HLA‐DPB1*05:01 and BTNL2 genes might be responsible for the complicacy of clinical features.

    Abstract: At present, there is no noninvasive biomarker of renal fibrosis. The potential diagnostic value of urinary exosome-derived circRNAs from glomerular disease patients for renal fibrosis is still uncertain. Here, we first detected the expression of hsa_circ_0008925 in TGF-β1-cultured HK-2 cell-derived exosomes. Secondly, we collected urine samples from 95 biopsy-proven glomerular disease patients and 34 healthy controls. The expression of hsa_circ_0008925 was analyzed, and the correlation with renal function and pathological changes was calculated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the diagnosis of renal fibrosis was performed. The results showed that in exosomes derived from TGF-β1-cultured HK-2 cells, the expression of hsa_circ_0008925 was increased compared with normal cultured. Further, the expression level of hsa_circ_0008925 was increased in urinary exosomes from renal fibrosis patients and correlated with serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), estimated glomerular filtration rate, and cystatin C. The level of hsa_circ_0008925 was furthermore correlated with the score of tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) and the score of glomerular sclerosis. The ROC curve showed that hsa_circ_0008925 can diagnose renal fibrosis at a cut-off value of 0.093 with a sensitivity of 52.2% and specificity of 96.4%. In summary, we indicated that urinary exosomal hsa_circ_0008925 could be acted as a noninvasive biomarker for renal fibrosis in glomerular diseases patients.

    Abstract: Sepsis is organ dysfunction due to the host’s deleterious response to infection, and the kidneys are one of the organs damaged in common sepsis. Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) increases the mortality in patients with sepsis. Although a substantial volume of research has improved the prevention and treatment of the disease, SA-SKI is still a significant clinical concern. Purpose Aimed to use weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and immunoinfiltration analysis to study SA-AKI-related diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets. Methods Immunoinfiltration analysis was performed on SA-AKI expression datasets from the Gene Expression Synthesis (GEO) database. A weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) analysis was performed on immune invasion scores as trait data, and modules associated with immune cells of interest were identified as hub modules. Screening hub geneset in the hub module using protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. The hub gene was identified as a target by intersecting with significantly different genes screened by differential expression analysis and validated using two external datasets. Finally, the correlation between the target gene, SA-AKI, and immune cells was verified experimentally. Results Green modules associated with monocytes were identified using WGCNA and immune infiltration analysis. Differential expression analysis and PPI network analysis identified two hub genes ( AFM and GSTA1 ). Further validation using additional AKI datasets GSE30718 and GSE44925 showed that AFM was significantly downregulated in AKI samples and correlated with the development of AKI. The correlation analysis of hub genes and immune cells showed that AFM was significantly associated with monocyte infiltration and hence, selected as a critical gene. In addition, Gene single-enrichment analysis (GSEA) and PPI analyses results showed that AFM was significantly related to the occurrence and development of SA-AKI. Conclusions AFM is inversely correlated with the recruitment of monocytes and the release of various inflammatory factors in the kidneys of AKI. AFM can be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for monocyte infiltration in sepsis-related AKI.

    Abstract: The uptake of proven stroke treatments varies widely. We aimed to determine the association of evidence‐based processes of care for acute ischemic stroke ( AIS ) and clinical outcome of patients who participated in the HEADPOST (Head Positioning in Acute Stroke Trial), a multicenter cluster crossover trial of lying flat versus sitting up, head positioning in acute stroke. Methods and Results Use of 8 AIS processes of care were considered: reperfusion therapy in eligible patients; acute stroke unit care; antihypertensive, antiplatelet, statin, and anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation; dysphagia assessment; and physiotherapist review. Hierarchical, mixed, logistic regression models were performed to determine associations with good outcome (modified Rankin Scale scores 0–2) at 90 days, adjusted for patient and hospital variables. Among 9485 patients with AIS, implementation of all processes of care in eligible patients, or “defect‐free” care, was associated with improved outcome (odds ratio, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.18–1.65) and better survival (odds ratio, 2.23; 95% CI , 1.62–3.09). Defect‐free stroke care was also significantly associated with excellent outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0–1) (odds ratio, 1.22; 95% CI , 1.04–1.43). No hospital characteristic was independently predictive of outcome. Only 1445 (15%) of eligible patients with AIS received all processes of care, with significant regional variations in overall and individual rates. Conclusions Use of evidence‐based care is associated with improved clinical outcome in AIS . Strategies are required to address regional variation in the use of proven AIS treatments.

    Abstract: Stem cell therapy is a potentially effective and promising treatment for ischemic heart disease. Resistin, a type of adipokine, has been found to bind to adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs). However, the effects of resistin on cardiac homing by ADSCs and on ADSC-mediated cardioprotective effects have not been investigated. ADSCs were obtained from enhanced green fluorescent protein transgenic mice. C57BL/6J mice were subjected to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) or sham operations. Six hours after the I/R operation, mice were intravenously injected with resistin-treated ADSCs (ADSC-resistin) or vehicle-treated ADSCs (ADSC-vehicle). Cardiac homing by ADSCs and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were investigated 3 days after I/R. Cardiac function, fibrosis, and angiogenesis were evaluated 4 wk after I/R. Cellular and molecular mechanisms were investigated in vitro using cultured ADSCs. Both immunostaining and flow cytometric experiments showed that resistin treatment promoted ADSC myocardial homing 3 days after intravenous injection. Echocardiographic experiments showed that ADSC-resistin, but not ADSC-vehicle, significantly improved left ventricular ejection fraction. ADSC-resistin transplantation significantly mitigated I/R-induced fibrosis and reduced atrial natriuretic peptide/brain natriuretic peptide mRNA expression. In addition, cardiomyocyte apoptosis was reduced, whereas angiogenesis was increased by ADSC-resistin treatment. At the cellular level, resistin promoted ADSC proliferation and migration but did not affect H 2 O 2 -induced apoptosis. Molecular experiments identified the ERK1/2-matrix metalloproteinase-9 pathway as a key component mediating the effects of resistin on ADSC proliferation and migration. These results demonstrate that resistin can promote homing of injected ADSCs into damaged heart tissue and stimulate functional recovery, an effect mediated through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway and matrix metalloproteinase-9. NEW & NOTEWORTHY First, intravenous injection of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) treated with resistin significantly increased angiogenesis and reduced myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis in a murine model of ischemia-reperfusion, resulting in improved cardiac performance. Second, resistin treatment significantly increased myocardial homing of intravenously delivered ADSCs. Finally, the ERK1/2-matrix metalloproteinase 9 pathway contributed to the higher proliferative and migratory capacities of ADSCs treated with resistin.
