To address this, this paper employs a mixed-effects model to analyze gene expression data. In terms of data selection, 1176 genes from the white mouse gene expression dataset under two experimental conditions were chosen, setting up two conditions: pneumococcal infection and no infection, and constructing a mixed-effects model. After preprocessing the gene chip information, the data were imported into the model, preliminary results were calculated, and permutation tests were performed to biologically validate the preliminary results using GSEA. The final dataset consists of 20 groups of gene expression data from pneumococcal infection, which categorizes functionally related genes based on the similarity of their expression profiles, facilitating the study of genes with unknown functions.展开更多

Until recently, the functions of border-associated macrophages have been poorly understood and largely overlooked. However, a recent study reported that border-associated macrophages participate in stroke-induced inflammation, although many details and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive single-cell analysis of mouse border-associated macrophages using sequencing data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database(GSE174574 and GSE225948). Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analysis was performed to identify the transcription profile of border-associated macrophages. CellChat analysis was conducted to determine the cell communication network of border-associated macrophages. Transcription factors were predicted using the ‘pySCENIC' tool. We found that, in response to hypoxia, borderassociated macrophages underwent dynamic transcriptional changes and participated in the regulation of inflammatory-related pathways. Notably, the tumor necrosis factor pathway was activated by border-associated macrophages following ischemic stroke. The pySCENIC analysis indicated that the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3) was obviously upregulated in stroke, suggesting that Stat3 inhibition may be a promising strategy for treating border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Finally, we constructed an animal model to investigate the effects of border-associated macrophages depletion following a stroke. Treatment with liposomes containing clodronate significantly reduced infarct volume in the animals and improved neurological scores compared with untreated animals. Taken together, our results demonstrate comprehensive changes in border-associated macrophages following a stroke, providing a theoretical basis for targeting border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation in stroke treatment.展开更多

文摘[Objectives]The present study was conducted to investigate the change rule ofβ-fructofuranosidase gene expression and its enzyme activity in the midgut of 5 th instar silkworm(Bombyx mori),in order to provide a reference for illustrating the enzymatic mechanism of usingβ-fructofuranosidase to absorb sucrose nutrition from mulberry leaves.[Methods]Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was applied to analyze the expression of BmSuc1 and BmSuc2 in midgut of 5 th-instar silkworm larvae,meanwhile the activities ofβ-fructofuranosidase was determined.[Results]BmSuc1 was expressed in the midgut of 5 th-instar silkworm larvae at different developmental stages.Its expression was upregulated at the beginning of the 5 th instar and during the peak feeding period,whereas BmSuc2 expression remained very low throughout the entire 5 th instar.The activity ofβ-fructofuranosidase was relatively high during the peak feeding period of 5 th-instar larvae,showing a trend of increasing first and then decreasing.[Conclusions]The expression pattern of the BmSuc1 gene and the changes inβ-fructofuranosidase activity were generally consistent with the physiological process of sugar nutrient absorption and utilization from mulberry leaves in 5 th-instar silkworms.It suggests that BmSuc1,as a sucrose hydrolase gene,plays a major role in the digestion and absorption of sucrose nutrients from mulberry leaves in the midgut tissue.

文摘Glutathione-S-transferase(GST,EC2.5.1.18)multifunctional protease is important for detoxification,defense against biotic and abiotic stresses,and secondary metabolic material transport for plant growth and development.In this study,71 members of the BpGST family were identified from the entire Betula platyphylla Suk.genome.Most of the members encode proteins with amino acid lengths ranging from 101 to 875 and were localized to the cytoplasm by a prediction.BpGSTs can be divided into seven subfamilies,with a majority of birch U and F subfamily members according to gene structure,conserved motifs and evolutionary analysis.GST family genes showed collinearity with 22 genes in Oryza sativa L.,and three genes in Arabidopsis thaliana;promoter cis-acting elements predicted that the GST gene family is functional in growth,hormone regulation,and abiotic stress response.Most members of the F subfamily of GST(BpGSTFs)were expressed in roots,stems,leaves,and petioles,with the most expression observed in leaves.On the basis of the expression profiles of F subfamily genes(BpGSTF1 to BpGSTF13)during salt,mannitol and ABA stress,BpGSTF proteins seem to have multiple functions depending on the type of abiotic stress;for instance,BpGSTs may function at different times during abiotic stress.This study enhances understanding of the GST gene family and provides a basis for further exploration of their function in birch.
文摘DNA microarray technology is an extremely effective technique for studying gene expression patterns in cells, and the main challenge currently faced by this technology is how to analyze the large amount of gene expression data generated. To address this, this paper employs a mixed-effects model to analyze gene expression data. In terms of data selection, 1176 genes from the white mouse gene expression dataset under two experimental conditions were chosen, setting up two conditions: pneumococcal infection and no infection, and constructing a mixed-effects model. After preprocessing the gene chip information, the data were imported into the model, preliminary results were calculated, and permutation tests were performed to biologically validate the preliminary results using GSEA. The final dataset consists of 20 groups of gene expression data from pneumococcal infection, which categorizes functionally related genes based on the similarity of their expression profiles, facilitating the study of genes with unknown functions.

文摘Urea is a major end product of nitrogen catabolism,serving as an osmolyte to regulate osmotic stress in fish exposed to varying water environments.It has been well known that urea transporters(UTs)facilitate the rapid movement of urea across cell membranes.However,researches on ut genes were predominantly focused on elasmobranchs and early developmental stages of fish.In this investigation,a total of three ut genes were identified in spotted sea bass.Phylogenetic,homology,and syntenic analyses were conducted to validate the annotation and assess the evolutionary relationships among ut genes.Both ut-a and ut-b genes have retained their evolutionary stability,demonstrating a significant level of homology between them.To gain deeper insights into the evolution of ut genes in spotted sea bass,we performed selective pressure analysis using site,branch,and branch-site models.The results suggested that positive selection likely played a significant role in shaping the evolution of the ut gene family.Furthermore,tissue-specific expression analyses revealed high expression levels of ut genes in osmoregulatory tissues such as the gill and kidney.Additionally,all three ut genes exhibited salinity-related expression patterns in gill and kidney tissues during both seawater-to-freshwater(SF)and freshwater-to-seawater(FS)adaptation.In situ hybridization results demonstrated the localization of both ut-a and ut-c mRNAs on the gill lamellae and adjacent gill filament epithelium.In summary,our study establishes a solid foundation for future research elucidating the evolutionary relationships and functional significance of ut genes during salinity acclimation in spotted sea bass and other teleost species.

文摘Commercial cultivars of garlic,a popular condiment,are sterile,making genetic variation and germplasm innovation of this plant challenging.Understanding mechanism of gamete sterility in garlic and their key regulatory networks is therefore important for fertility restoration.In this work,we conducted a detailed phenotypic analysis of fertile and sterile garlic genotypes and found that enlargement of topset in the inflorescence of sterile genotypes led to abnormal flowers.Additional cytological observations showed that aberrant meiotic cytokinesis in sterile garlic ultimately resulted in pollen degeneration.Transcriptomics analysis of sterile and fertile genotypes identified possible molecular mechanisms underlying gamete abortion.A total of 100710 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between the fertile and sterile garlic flowers at three stages of gamete development were identified,many of which were involved in homologous chromosome synapsis during meiosis,MYB transcription factor regulation,ribosome biogenesis and plant hormone signal transduction.Taken together,these results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks underlying gamete development in garlic and point to a set of candidate genes for further functional characterization.

文摘Hydrangea macrophylla is a popular ornamental shrub with a lot of economic and aesthetic value.It is known for its different flower shapes(lacecap and mophead)and the way its flowers change color depending on the pH of the soil.Even though it is important for gardening,we still don’t know much about the molecular processes that lead to flower growth.The purpose of this study was to find and study SNP-related genes and transcription factors that are connected to the growth of H.macrophylla flowers.Genome-wide SNP analysis identified 11 SNPs associated with MYB transcription factors and 10 SNPs linked to a MADS-box SEP1 gene,highlighting their potential role in inflorescence-type regulation.These SNPs provide genomic resources for functional validation and markerassisted breeding in Hydrangea macrophylla.We found the MYB and MADS-box gene families,which are important for pigmentation and flower organ identity,through an analysis of the transcriptome and gene expression.The MYB family has 731R-MYBs,105 R2R3-MYBs,and 43R-MYBs.TheMADS-box family had 42 Type I(M-type)members and 36 Type II(MIKC-type)members.Motif and phylogenetic analysis showed that certain domains were preserved.For example,R2R3-MYBs and MIKC-type MADS genes are grouped with Arabidopsis orthologs,which suggests that their functions are also preserved.There was a clear link between the greatest expression ofMADS-box genes and the distinct phases of floral bud differentiation.Some MYB genes,on the other hand,showed alternative expression patterns that may help petals or sepals develop.qRT-PCR validation of representative MYB and MADS-box genes corroborated the transcriptome-based expression profiles,supporting their role in flower development and inflorescence-type regulation.

文摘Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins generally accumulate in seeds during the later stages of maturation.Here we studied the LEA genes in two wild peanut species (Arachis duranensis and Arachis ipaensis) in an effort to create a genetic resource for peanut crop improvement.we identified 65 AdLEA and 69 AiLEA genes representing all 8 LEA subfamilies,which were unevenly distributed across 10 peanut chromosomes.The majority of LEA proteins were found to be highly hydrophilic.MEME analysis indicated that LEA gene motifs were conserved within groups,but not between groups.The LEA genes contained a diverse array of stress-and phytohormoneresponsive cis-acting elements,with the AdLEA2-20 and AiLEA2-20 genes containing the greatest number of elements.Both AdLEA2-20 and AiLEA2-20 were upregulated in response to cold temperatures,drought,salinity,and abscisic acid exposure,although the dynamics were tissue-dependent.This study lays the foundation for future studies on the LEA gene family and abiotic stress in peanut,and our results will be invaluable for the genetic improvement of peanut by characterizing the genetic resources of wild peanut species.

文摘Border-associated macrophages are located at the interface between the brain and the periphery, including the perivascular spaces, choroid plexus, and meninges. Until recently, the functions of border-associated macrophages have been poorly understood and largely overlooked. However, a recent study reported that border-associated macrophages participate in stroke-induced inflammation, although many details and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive single-cell analysis of mouse border-associated macrophages using sequencing data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database(GSE174574 and GSE225948). Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analysis was performed to identify the transcription profile of border-associated macrophages. CellChat analysis was conducted to determine the cell communication network of border-associated macrophages. Transcription factors were predicted using the ‘pySCENIC' tool. We found that, in response to hypoxia, borderassociated macrophages underwent dynamic transcriptional changes and participated in the regulation of inflammatory-related pathways. Notably, the tumor necrosis factor pathway was activated by border-associated macrophages following ischemic stroke. The pySCENIC analysis indicated that the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3) was obviously upregulated in stroke, suggesting that Stat3 inhibition may be a promising strategy for treating border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Finally, we constructed an animal model to investigate the effects of border-associated macrophages depletion following a stroke. Treatment with liposomes containing clodronate significantly reduced infarct volume in the animals and improved neurological scores compared with untreated animals. Taken together, our results demonstrate comprehensive changes in border-associated macrophages following a stroke, providing a theoretical basis for targeting border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation in stroke treatment.

文摘N^(6)-Methyladenosine(m^(6)A)is the most common modification in the transcriptome of biological RNA and plays roles that include maintaining the stability and transportation of mRNA,mRNA precursor shearing,polyadenylation,and the initiation of translation.With the improving understanding of RNA methylation,m^(6)A modification is known to play vital roles in plant development and growth.The multi-petalization of flowering plants has high ornamental and research value in horticultural landscapes.However,the mechanism of RNA methylation in flower formation in Magnolia wufengensis,a classical multi-petalizational plant,remains unclear.This study compared and analyzed RNA m^(6)A methylation and the transcriptome in floral buds of two varieties with large differences in tepal number at the early stage of development.It was found that the degree of RNA m^(6)A methylation and relative expression levels of MawuAGL6-2,MawuPI-4,and MawuAGL9 in‘Jiaodan’with 36 tepals were significantly higher than those in‘Jiaohong’with 9 tepals during the development of floral organ primordia.Combined with quantitative real-time PCR,the expression levels of MawuAGL6-2,MawuPI-4,and MawuAGL9were positively correlated with the number of tepals.Transgenic experiments showed that MawuAGL6-1/2,and MawuPI-4 can increase the number of petals in Arabidopsis.Moreover,MawuAGL6-2 and MawuPI-4 can restore the missing petal phenotype of mutant Arabidopsis.Yeast two hybrid and yeast three hybrid indicated that MawuAGL6-2,MawuAP3-1/2,and MawuPI-4 could interact with each other under the mediation of the class E protein MawuAGL9.Based on these results,it is hypothesized that m^(6)A methylation influences the multi-petalization of Magnolia wufengensis by affecting the expression levels of MawuAGL6-2,MawuAP3-1/2,MawuPI-4,and MawuAGL9.These findings provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of epigenetic modifications in flower developmental diversity.

文摘Background:Small ubiquitin-like modifier(SUMO)-specific proteases(SENPs)cleave the isopeptidic bond between SUMO1/2/3 and protein substrates,thus regulating the structure,activity,and lifetime of a variety of proteins.Recently,accumulating evidence has suggested that SENPs play a role in the initiation and progression of human cancers.Nevertheless,the potential role of the SENP family of proteins in liver cancer has yet to be fully elucidated.Methods:This study conducted a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of the SENP family in liver cancer,including differential expression profiling,survival analysis,mutation and copy number variations(CNVs)assessment,immune infiltration and drug sensitivity correlation,functional enrichment analyses using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA),Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium(CPTAC),LinkedOmics,and other public databases.Furthermore,we performed in vitro experiments using Huh-7 and Hep-3B cell lines to investigate the functional roles of SENP1 and SENP3 in hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation,colony formation,and migration.Results:Our results indicated that SENP1,3,and 7 were significantly overexpressed in liver hepatocellular carcinoma(LIHC).Elevated expressions of SENP1,3,and 7 are positively correlated with poor overall survival(OS)in LIHC patients.In addition,SENP1,3,and 7 expressions are related to immune infiltration and drug sensitivity.SENP1,3,and 7 co-expressed genes were enriched in mitochondrial function,ribosomal translation,and cell cycle control.Conclusion:SENP1,3,and 7 are prognostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for LIHC.Knockdown of SENP1 and SENP3 inhibited the proliferation,clonogenicity,and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
文摘First,statistics on the operational lines and mileage of urban rail transit in China are conducted.The results show that,as of Dec.31,2025,there were 60 cities with urban rail transit in operation nationwide,with a total operational mileage of approximately 12837.8 km(excluding the electronic guideway rubber-tired system,there were 57 cities,with a total operational mileage of 12651.6 km).The metro system dominates,while low-capacity systems exhibit a multi-modal development pattern.Subsequently,the characteristics of China′s urban rail transit industry development are analyzed,indicating that:(1)It should closely align with the theme of urban intensive development,promote quality improvement and efficiency enhancement of existing lines,and focus on the supporting role of initial passenger flow for new line construction,multi-network integration,and economic and financial sustainability.(2)Significant innovative achievements have been made in safety resilience,green and low-carbon development,intelligent construction,and digital transformation.Finally,development recommendations for the"15th Five-Year Plan"period are proposed:promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the rail transit industry,enhancing the operational efficiency of existing networks,continuously exploring railway services for urban commuting,strengthening external exchanges,and driving the"going global"strategy of the urban rail transit industry.
文摘Six new lanthanide complexes:[Ln(3,4-DEOBA)3(4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy)]2·2C_(2)H_(5)OH,[Ln=Dy(1),Eu(2),Tb(3),Sm(4),Ho(5),Gd(6);3,4-DEOBA-=3,4-diethoxybenzoate,4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine]were successfully synthesized by the volatilization of the solution at room temperature.The crystal structures of six complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technology.The results showed that the complexes all have a binuclear structure,and the structures contain free ethanol molecules.Moreover,the coordination number of the central metal of each structural unit is eight.Adjacent structural units interact with each other through hydrogen bonds and further expand to form 1D chain-like and 2D planar structures.After conducting a systematic study on the luminescence properties of complexes 1-4,their emission and excitation spectra were obtained.Experimental results indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 2 and 3 were 0.807 and 0.845 ms,respectively.The emission spectral data of complexes 1-4 were imported into the CIE chromaticity coordinate system,and their corre sponding luminescent regions cover the yellow light,red light,green light,and orange-red light bands,respectively.Within the temperature range of 299.15-1300 K,the thermal decomposition processes of the six complexes were comprehensively analyzed by using TG-DSC/FTIR/MS technology.The hypothesis of the gradual loss of ligand groups during the decomposition process was verified by detecting the escaped gas,3D infrared spectroscopy,and ion fragment information detected by mass spectrometry.The specific decomposition path is as follows:firstly,free ethanol molecules and neutral ligands are removed,and finally,acidic ligands are released;the final product is the corresponding metal oxide.CCDC:2430420,1;2430422,2;2430419,3;2430424,4;2430421,5;2430423,6.
文摘The Savitzky-Golay(SG)filter,which employs polynomial least-squares approximations to smooth data and estimate derivatives,is widely used for processing noisy data.However,noise suppression by the SG filter is recognized to be limited at data boundaries and high frequencies,which can significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).To solve this problem,a novel method synergistically integrating Principal Component Analysis(PCA)with SG filtering is proposed in this paper.This approach avoids the is-sue of excessive smoothing associated with larger window sizes.The proposed PCA-SG filtering algorithm was applied to a CO gas sensing system based on Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy(CRDS).The perform-ance of the PCA-SG filtering algorithm is demonstrated through comparison with Moving Average Filtering(MAF),Wavelet Transformation(WT),Kalman Filtering(KF),and the SG filter.The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior noise reduction capabilities compared to the other algorithms evaluated.The SNR of the ring-down signal was improved from 11.8612 dB to 29.0913 dB,and the stand-ard deviation of the extracted ring-down time constant was reduced from 0.037μs to 0.018μs.These results confirm that the proposed PCA-SG filtering algorithm effectively improves the smoothness of the ring-down curve data,demonstrating its feasibility.

文摘The detection and characterization of non-metallic inclusions are essential for clean steel production.Recently,imaging analysis combined with high-dimensional data processing of metallic materials using artificial intelligence(AI)-based machine learning(ML)has developed rapidly.This technique has achieved impressive results in the field of inclusion classification in process metallurgy.The present study surveys the ML modeling of inclusion prediction in advanced steels,including the detection,classification,and feature prediction of inclusions in different steel grades.Studies on clean steel with different features based on data and image analysis via ML are summarized.Regarding the data analysis,the inclusion prediction methodology based on ML establishes a connection between the experimental parameters and inclusion characteristics and analyzes the importance of the experimental parameters.Regarding the image analysis,the focus is placed on the classification of different types of inclusions via deep learning,in comparison with data analysis.Finally,further development of inclusion analyses using ML-based methods is recommended.This work paves the way for the application of AIbased methodologies for ultraclean-steel studies from a sustainable metallurgy perspective.
文摘[Objective]This study aims to investigate the multi-body hydrodynamic interaction mechanisms during offshore lifting operations of aquaculture net cages in wind-fishery integration systems.By integrating numerical simulations and dynamic analysis methods,this study systematically investigates the coupled dynamic response characteristics during the cage-carrier vessel separation process to reveal its dynamic evolution patterns and key influence mechanisms.[Method]Based on potential flow theory,a fully coupled dynamic analysis model of crane vessel-net cage-semi-submersible barge was established for a marine ranch project in Guangdong.The complete lifting process was dynamically simulated using SESAM software.Five typical operating sea states were configured to investigate the influence of wave parameters on the system's motion response under combined wave-current-wind actions.[Result]The results demonstrate that wave period dominates the system stability.Under short-period conditions,the system maintains stable motion with relatively small horizontal relative displacements,while long-period conditions excite low-frequency resonance,leading to significant slow-drift motions.Vertical response analysis reveals that long-period waves cause severe relative displacement fluctuations between the cage and semi-submersible vessel,with actual displacement amplitudes doubling the preset safety target of 2.045 m.Quantitative analysis further indicates that when significant wave height increases from 1.0 m to 1.5 m,the actual displacement amplitude increases by approximately 20%relative to the target displacement of 2.045 m,demonstrating that its influence is significantly weaker than the displacement variations induced by wave period changes.The complete dynamic simulation successfully captures the continuous dynamic response characteristics during the lifting process.[Conclusion]This research clarifies the influence mechanisms of wave parameters on the cage lifting process,identifying wave period as the crucial factor for operational safety.An operation window assessment method incorporating multi-body coupling effects is established,proposing a safety criterion with peak period not exceeding six seconds as the core requirement.The findings provide theoretical foundation for safe installation of marine ranch net cages and offer valuable references for similar offshore lifting operations.

文摘Humanoid robots hold significant promise for social interaction and emotional companionship.However,their effectiveness hinges on the ability to convey nuanced and authentic emotions.Here,we presented a universal humanoid robot head with a facial kinematics model.Using a reinforcement learning framework guided by symmetry assessment,emotion decoupling,and MLLM authenticity evaluation,our system autonomously learns to generate adaptive facial expressions through dynamic landmark adjustments.By transferring the simulation training results to real-world environments,the robot can perform natural and expressive expressions.Another novel feature is the independent regulation of emotion intensity and expression magnitude across emotional categories,which enhances the ability to achieve culturally adaptive and socially resonant robotic expressions significantly.This research advances adaptive humanoid interaction,offering an easier and more efficient pathway toward culturally resonant and psychologically plausible robotic expressions.
文摘The topics concerning intellectual property and the protection of traditional resources have been under international discussion coordinated by the World Intellectual Property Organization(WIPO)for more than 20 years.The WIPO Treaty on Intellectual Property,Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge was achieved based on the consensus of the origin-disclosure principle and defensive protection preventing the erroneous grant of patents,which leaves a gap with the"prior informed consent+sharing of benefit"mechanism championed by the Convention on Biological Diversity.For the traditional cultural expressions or folklore available in public,the copyright-like protection is controversial due to the obvious divergence between the view of exclusive rights protection and that of free public domain.From the trend of negotiations on reaching an international instrument,a shift from the expectation of"license&royalty"to"attribution&moral rights"as a bottom line might be more realistic for the protection of such folklore already in the public domain,and it is desirable to fully utilize the existing intellectual property system to safeguard the transmission and utilization of folklore by local communities.Adjustments to domestic law should follow the same rationale.
