Prognostic and immunological role of Fam20C in pan-cancer

Background: The family with sequence similarity 20-member C (Fam20C) kinase plays important roles in physiopathological process and is responsible for majority of the secreted phosphoproteome, including substrates associated with tumor cell migration. However, it remains unclear whether Fam20C plays a role in cancers. Here, we aimed to analyze the expression and prognostic value of Fam20C in pan-cancer and to gain insights into the association between Fam20C and immune infiltration.Methods: We analyzed Fam20C expression patterns and the associations between Fam20C expression levels and prognosis in pan-cancer via the ONCOMINE, TIMER (Tumor Immune Estimation Resource), PrognoScan, GEPIA (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis), and Kaplan–Meier Plotter databases. After that, GEPIA and TIMER databases were applied to investigate the relations between Fam20C expression and immune infiltration across different cancer types, especially BLCA (bladder urothelial carcinoma), LGG (brain lower grade glioma), and STAD (stomach adenocarcinoma).Results: Compared with adjacent normal tissues, Fam20C was widely expressed across many cancers. In general, Fam20C showed a detrimental role in pan-cancer, it was positively associated with poor survival of BLCA, LGG, and STAD patients. Specifically, based on TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) database, a high expression level of Fam20C was associated with worse prognostic value in stages T2–T4 and stages N0–N2 in the cohort of STAD patients. Moreover, Fam20C expression had positive associations with immune infiltration, including CD4⁺ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells, and other diverse immune cells in BLCA, LGG, and STAD.Conclusion: Fam20C may serve as a promising prognostic biomarker in pan-cancer and has positive associations with immune infiltrates.     

Identification and Genetic Division of Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium asiaticum by Species‐Specific SCAR Markers

Fusarium head blight (FHB), also called scab, is a devastating and insidious disease of cereals including wheat (Triticum spp.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) worldwide. Apart from direct yield losses, the most serious concern about FHB is the contamination of the crop with mycotoxins, which pose a health risk to human and livestock. Recent research reported that phylogenetic species F. asiaticum (Fa) and F. graminearum (Fg) were the major causal agents of FHB from infected wheat heads in China. To investigate the population structure of Fusarium species in China by species‐specific as well as the chemotype‐specific markers, sequence‐related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers were screened on representative isolates of F. asiaticum‐NIV, F. asiaticum‐ 3ADON and F. graminearum‐15ADON to find amplification products characteristic of either species or chemotypes. Selected amplified fragments were cloned and sequenced so that sequence‐characterized amplified region (SCAR) primer pairs could be developed which permit specific detection of Fusarium species using conventional PCR. Primer pairs SCAR‐Fa1 and SCAR‐Fg1 were confirmed to be able to amplify specific products only in F. asiaticum and F. graminearum isolates, respectively. These species‐specific primers were applied to determine genetic division of F. asiaticum and F. graminearum isolates collected in Yangtze–Huaihe valley. The results indicated that F. asiaticum was the predominant species causing FHB in this wheat production area. It is the first report that SRAP markers were adapted for species characterization in Fusarium isolates.

目的研究色胺酮对葡聚糖硫酸钠(DSS)诱导溃疡性结肠炎(UC)模型小鼠肠道菌群的影响。方法用3%DSS自由饮用7 d诱导昆明种小鼠UC模型,灌胃125 mg/kg柳氮磺胺吡啶作为阳性对照,色胺酮组以78 mg/kg水溶液灌胃给药,观察小鼠给药前后的体征,进行疾病活动指数(DAI)评分,观察结肠组织形态变化;ELISA法检测小鼠血清中IL-6、IL-8、IL-10、IL-1β和TNF-α水平变化;每组收集5个粪便样本,利用Illumina MiSeq测序平台采用细菌的16S rRNA进行V4-V5区高通量测序,对测序结果进行生物信息学分析。结果色胺酮和阳性药干预后,DAI评分表明小鼠体征有所改善,HE染色显示UC小鼠结肠组织损伤有一定程度修复,炎性细胞减少;ELISA检测显示小鼠血清中促炎性细胞因子IL-6、IL-8、IL-1β和TNF-α水平下调,抑炎性细胞因子IL-10水平上升;测序后菌群物种注释及生物多样性分析显示色胺酮干预后UC小鼠失调的厚壁菌门/拟杆菌门比例得到一定程度恢复,菌群多样性有一定程度回调,菌群结构向正常状态恢复;肠道菌群LEfSe组间差异显著性分析结果表明4个菌属Erysipelotrichaceae_UCG_003、Sellimonas、Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group和Tyzzerella丰度可能与色胺酮对UC治疗作用相关。结论色胺酮治疗UC小鼠后,小鼠体征、结肠组织病理结构、细胞因子水平及肠道菌群变化等结果均表明色胺酮对UC小鼠肠道微生态具有调节作用,为色胺酮抗UC作用机制研究提供了新思路。     

盐胁迫下囊果碱蓬出苗状况及苗期抗盐性

研究了盐胁迫对囊果碱蓬出苗、幼苗生长、离子积累以及光合放氧速率的影响.囊果碱蓬生长的最适盐浓度在200 mmol/L NaCl左右.高浓度NaCl(400 mmol/L和600 mmol/L)没有显著降低其出苗率,200 mmol/L NaCl对出苗率具有促进作用.400 mmol/L和600 mmol/L NaCl显著降低了光合放氧速率.囊果碱蓬在高浓度NaCl处理下能够维持叶片较高的K+/Na+ 及含水量可能是其适应高盐生境的重要机制.     

不同起源时间的植物叶凋落物在中亚热带的分解特性

选择9种起源时间不同的植物的凋落叶,采用分解袋法,在浙江千岛湖地区从2006年6月到2008年6月进行了分解试验,试图探索植物进化过程中凋落物分解特性的演变趋势.所选的9种植物分属于4个类群,按起源时间由早到晚依次为蕨类植物(芒萁和桫椤)、裸子植物(苏铁、水杉、杉木和马尾松)、双子叶植物(木荷和青冈)及单子叶植物(毛竹).每隔一个月取样,每种凋落物3次重复.结果表明:不同植物类群凋落物基质的氮(N)、木质素(Lignin)含量及Lignin/N比值与分解速率具有良好的相关性.起源时间越晚的植物凋落物的基质N含量越高,为单子叶植物>双子叶植物>裸子植物>蕨类植物.Lignin含量和Lignin/N比值的趋势一致,均为起源时间越晚而值越低,即蕨类植物>裸子植物>双子叶植物>单子叶植物.凋落物分解系数k值的范围在0.25～0.63之间,表现出毛竹>青冈>木荷>水杉>马尾松>杉木>苏铁>桫椤>芒萁的趋势.4个植物类群的凋落物分解速率的均值为单子叶植物>双子叶植物>裸子植物>蕨类植物.试验结果初步表明:植物凋落物分解的进化趋势是由分解缓慢逐渐演变为分解较快.     

高温冲击对沃尔巴克氏体(Wolbachia)诱导孤雌产雌的丽蚜小蜂(Encarsia formosa)生殖和发育的影响

研究了持续高温(31℃恒温)和高适温交替(白天31℃/夜间25℃变温)条件对感染沃尔巴克氏体(Wolbachia)的丽蚜小蜂生殖和发育的影响.结果发现在持续高温条件下,丽蚜小蜂的生殖力和羽化率降低、寿命缩短、后代雄性比例增加,丽蚜小蜂从F1代开始产生雄性后代,且雄性比例在45%以上,F2代雄性比例达到最高值,表明高温冲击会对丽蚜小蜂的控害潜能产生不利的影响,因此在丽蚜小蜂的商业生产和田间应用中要注意环境温度,避免因高温带来的损失.在31℃恒温条件下连续培养3代或6代再转入25℃培养,丽蚜小蜂雄性后代比例和沃尔巴克氏体在丽蚜小蜂雌性群体中的感染率都能够很快恢复到高温处理前的水平.说明沃尔巴克氏体对环境变化有一个自动调节和适应的过程.变温条件下丽蚜小蜂从F2代开始产生雄性后代,但雄性后代比例较低(13%),表明短期高温冲击对丽蚜小蜂的生殖方式影响不大,但是短期高温冲击如果持续作用就会产生积累效应,影响丽蚜小蜂的后代性别.
