海水酸化及升温对刺参生长及能量收支的影响

以东亚浅海生态系统中的关键种——刺参(Apostichopus japonicus)为实验对象,研究了CO₂驱动的海水酸化及升温对其生长及能量收支的影响。实验设置对照组(大连近海水温, pCO₂ 400μatm)、升温组(大连近海水温+3℃, pCO₂ 400μatm)、酸化组(大连近海水温, pCO₂ 1100μatm)和酸化升温组(大连近海水温+3℃,pCO₂ 1100μatm)。结果表明:与对照组相比,温度升高3℃对刺参的生长无显著影响;酸化组刺参的特定生长率最低,较对照组降低0.19%/d,个体体重的变异系数最大;酸化升温组刺参的终末体重和特定生长率与对照组相较无显著差异,但其摄食率和排粪率均显著高于对照组。升温组和酸化组的刺参能量的分配模式与对照组相比未发生明显改变,但酸化升温组刺参的能量分配模式发生显著变化,其粪便能所占摄食能的比例显著升高。研究表明,海水酸化抑制了刺参的生长但未改变其能量的分配,生长的降低主要取决于摄食减少;而海水酸化与温度升高的共同作用可能会通过...

circPVT1通过miR-24-3p/let-7a-5p/FSCN1轴促进鼻咽癌细胞侵袭迁移

目的 鼻咽癌是一种来源于鼻咽上皮的恶性肿瘤,其临床特征之一是易发生淋巴转移,但是目前鼻咽癌转移的分子机制尚未阐明。circPVT1是由PVT1基因2号外显子反向拼接形成的环状RNA (circRNA),在多种肿瘤中表达上调,本文探讨了circPVT1在鼻咽癌侵袭迁移中的作用和分子机制。方法 通过RT-qPCR检测circPVT1及其下游miRNA和FSCN1在鼻咽癌细胞的表达情况,Transwell和划痕愈合实验检测circPVT1对鼻咽癌细胞侵袭迁移的影响,RNA pull-down实验检测circPVT1结合的miRNA,双荧光素酶报告实验检测miR-24-3p和let-7a-5p靶向抑制FSCN1 mRNA表达。结果 在鼻咽癌细胞中过表达circPVT1可以促进鼻咽癌细胞侵袭迁移,而敲低circPVT1则可以抑制鼻咽癌细胞的侵袭迁移。进一步研究发现,circPVT1可以通过竞争性吸附miR-24-3p和let-7a-5p,上调FSCN1的表达,从而促进鼻咽癌细胞的侵袭迁移。结论 circPVT1通过miR-24-3p/let-7a-5p/FSCN1轴促进鼻咽癌细胞侵袭迁移,证实c...

杨树拟茎点菌溃疡病的研究

本病系我国杨树新发生的一种病害。病原菌的分生孢子有2种形状,无色透明、单胞,呈纺缍形孢子大小为1.64—2.74×9.59—13.7μm。线形孢子顶端弯钩状大小为1.37—1.78×15—27.4μm。病原菌适宜生长的培养基为PDA、麦芽粉、豆饼粉培养基;温度为25—32℃和pH6—10。本病于4月下旬发病,5月中下旬分生孢子成熟,6月中下旬为分生孢子飞散高峰期。经室内采用多菌灵、甲基托布津、福美砷的200倍液浸泡插穗30、60、90分钟处理均有药害,采用100—200倍液浸泡10分钟无药害,对病害有防效。造林地幼树可采用上述药剂的100倍液进行刮破病斑涂抹,防效可达87.5％。

Development and validation of robust metabolism-related gene signature in the prognostic prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumours worldwide. Given metabolic reprogramming in tumours was a crucial hallmark, several studies have demonstrated its value in the diagnostics and surveillance of malignant tumours. The present study aimed to identify a cluster of metabolism-related genes to construct a prediction model for the prognosis of HCC. Multiple cohorts of HCC cases (466 cases) from public datasets were included in the present analysis. (GEO cohort) After identifying a list of metabolism-related genes associated with prognosis, a risk score based on metabolism-related genes was formulated via the LASSO-Cox and LASSO-pcvl algorithms. According to the risk score, patients were stratified into low- and high-risk groups, and further analysis and validation were accordingly conducted. The results revealed that high-risk patients had a significantly worse 5-year overall survival (OS) than low-risk patients in the GEO cohort. (30.0% vs. 57.8%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.411; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.302–0.651; p < 0.001) This observation was confirmed in the external TCGA-LIHC cohort. (34.5% vs. 54.4%; HR 0.452; 95% CI, 0.299–0.681; p < 0.001) To promote the predictive ability of the model, risk score, age, gender and tumour stage were integrated into a nomogram. According to the results of receiver operating characteristic curves and decision curves analysis, the nomogram score possessed a superior predictive ability than conventional factors, which indicate that the risk score combined with clinicopathological features was able to achieve a robust prediction for OS and improve the individualized clinical decision making of HCC patients. In conclusion, the metabolic genes related to OS were identified and developed a metabolism-based predictive model for HCC. Through a series of bioinformatics and statistical analyses, the predictive ability of the model was approved.
