The anaerobic fungi found in four types of cattle could be divided into 16 groups(Neocallimastix, Anaeromyces, Orpinomyces, Caecomyces, Cyllamyces and unknown groups 1-11). There were 10 anaerobic fungal groups in the rumen of gayals, with three belonging to known genera(Orpinomyces, Neocallimastix, and Caecomyces), which accounted for 2.8% of sequences of gayals. There were fewer known anaerobic fungi in gayals than in Yunnan yellow cattle(Orpinomyces), yaks(Anaeromyces, Orpinomyces, and Cyllamyces) and Tibetan yellow cattle(Anaeromyces, Orpinomyces, Caecomyces, and Cyllamyces), accounting for 30.7%, 93.9%, and 35% of each of the relevant cattle species. The other seven unknown groups(NG1, NG4, NG6, NG7, NG9, NG10, and NG11) accounted for 91.6% of sequences from gayals, which was higher than Yunnan yellow cattle [69.3%(NG2, NG8 and NG9)], Tibetan yellow cattle [35%(NG4, NG5 and NG9)], and yaks [6.1%(NG3)]. Furthermore, NG1, NG6, NG7, NG10, and NG11 were only found in gayals,whereas NG3 and NG5 were found only in Tibetan yellow cattle and yak, respectively. Piromyces was not found in any of the four types of cattle. The anaerobic fungi abundance in the rumen of gayals was significantly higher than that of the other three types of cattle. The ruminal anaerobic fungi of gayals might have an important role in cellulose degradation, resulting in the ability of this species to successfully graze coarser fodder.展开更多

X-ray diffraction shows that as the calcination temperature(T(Cal)) increases, the crystal particle diameter increases, but the B-site vacancy content decreases. According to a powder diffraction profile fitting technique and transmission electron microscopy results, the vacancy content can be estimated as 0.08,0.01, and 0.005 for T(Cal) = 1073,1273, and 1473 K, respectively. Magnetization versus temperature curves show that the magnetic transition temperatures, including the Curie temperature, are influenced by both B-site vacancies and double-exchange interaction between Mn^(3+) and Mn^(4+) cations. A core-shell model is proposed for vacancies located on the surfaces of the crystal particles. As an application, the magnetic moment angle θ(ij) between Mn^(3+) and Mn^(4+) cations on the surface, which decreases with decreasing vacancy content, can be obtained.展开更多

文摘Peptidyl arginine deiminase 4(PAD4)plays a pivotal role in infection and inflammatory diseases by facilitating the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs).However,the substrates of PAD4 and its exact role in inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)remain unclear.In this study,we employed single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)and substrate citrullination mapping to decipher the role of PAD4 in intestinal inflammation associated with IBD.Our results demonstrated that PAD4 deficiency alleviated colonic inflammation and restored intestinal barrier function in a dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced colitis mouse model.scRNA-seq analysis revealed significant alterations in intestinal cell populations,with reduced neutrophil numbers and changes in epithelial subsets upon PAD4 deletion.Gene expression analysis highlighted pathways related to inflammation and epithelial cell function.Furthermore,we found that neutrophil-derived extracellular vesicles(EVs)carrying PAD4 were secreted into intestinal epithelial cells(IECs).Within IECs,PAD4 citrullinates mitochondrial creatine kinase 1(CKMT1)at the R242 site,leading to reduced CKMT1 protein stability via the autophagy pathway.This action compromises mitochondrial homeostasis,impairs intestinal barrier integrity,and induces IECs apoptosis.IEC-specific depletion of CKMT1 exacerbated intestinal inflammation and apoptosis in mice with colitis.Clinical analysis of IBD patients revealed elevated levels of PAD4,increased CKMT1 citrullination,and decreased CKMT1 expression.In summary,our findings highlight the crucial role of PAD4 in IBD,where it modulates IECs plasticity via CKMT1 citrullination,suggesting that PAD4 may be a potential therapeutic target for IBD.
