文摘AIM:To explore the role of a previously-found MYH9 tail domain mutation(p.E1384Q)in the pathogenesis of congenital cataract.METHODS:The cell experiments were conducted in vitro.Wild-type(WT)MYH9 and p.E1384Q mutant fragments were constructed,which was then transiently transfected into Hek293T cell lines.Western blotting and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)were used to analyze the protein and mRNA level of non-muscle myosin IIA(NM IIA)and F-actin in transfected cells,and fluorescence microscopy was applied to explore the subcellular localization of NM IIA and F-actin.Cell counting kit-8(CCK8),woundhealing and double staining flow cytometry assays were performed to evaluate the proliferation,migration and apoptosis function of transfected cells,respectively.Transmission electron microscope was conducted to observe the alteration of organelle structure.RESULTS:The transiently-transfected WT and p.E1384Q mutant Hek293T cell lines was constructed.Western blot demonstrated that,comparing with MYH9WT group,the relative protein amount of NM IIA and F-actin significantly decreased in MYH9E1384Q cells(P<0.001).qRT-PCR analysis revealed that the relative mRNA amount of NM IIA and F-actin also significantly reduced in MYH9E1384Q cells when compared with MYH9WT.The immunofluorescence microscopy showed that the fluorescence signal of NM IIA and F-actin significantly decreased in E1384Q cells.The diffuse cytoplasmic distribution of NM IIA in MYH9WT was changed to be clumped distribution,presenting a“speckled”pattern characterized by aggregates of small size in MYH9E1384Q.Functional study revealed that the E1384Q mutation significantly inhibited cell proliferation(P=0.003)and migration(P<0.001),and promoted apoptosis(P<0.001).Electron microscope showed that the mutation remarkably decreased the number of mitochondria(P<0.001)and changed the phenotype of mitochondria.CONCLUSION:The missense gene mutation in MYH9(p.E1384Q)causing congenital cataract results in decreased amount and altered subcellular distribution of NM IIA and F-actin,accompanied by decreased cell proliferation and migration,promotes apoptosis and mitochondrial alteration.
文摘By using a certain hybrid-type convolution operator,we first introduce a new subclass of normalized analytic functions in the open unit disk.For members of this analytic function class,we then derive several properties and characteristics including(for example)the modified Hadamard products,Holder's inequalities and convolution properties as well as some closure properties under a general family of integral transforms.
文摘With the popularization of social media,stickers have become an important tool for young students to express themselves and resist mainstream culture due to their unique visual and emotional expressiveness.Most existing studies focus on the negative impacts of spoof stickers,while paying insufficient attention to their positive functions.From the perspective of multimodal metaphor,this paper uses methods such as virtual ethnography and image-text analysis to clarify the connotation of stickers,understand the evolution of their digital dissemination forms,and explore the multiple functions of subcultural stickers in the social interactions between teachers and students.Young students use stickers to convey emotions and information.Their expressive function,social function,and cultural metaphor function progress in a progressive manner.This not only shapes students’values but also promotes self-expression and teacher-student interaction.It also reminds teachers to correct students’negative thoughts by using stickers,achieving the effect of“cultivating and influencing people through culture.”

文摘Mining activities have caused significant land degradation globally,emphasizing the need for effective restoration.Microbial inoculants offer a promising solution for sustainable remediation by enhancing soil nutrients,enzyme activities,and microbial communities to support plant growth.However,the mechanisms by which inoculants influence soil microbes and their relationship with plant growth require further investigation.Metagenomic sequencing was employed for this study,based on a one-year greenhouse experiment,to elucidate the effects of Bacillus thuringiensis NL-11 on the microbial functions of abandoned mine soils.Our findings revealed that the application of microbial inoculants significantly enhanced the soil total carbon(TC),total sulfur(TS),organic carbon(SOC),available phosphorus(AP),ammonium(NH4+),urease,arylsulfatase,phosphatase,β-1,4-glucosidase(BG),β-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminidase(NAG).Moreover,this led to substantial improvements in plant height,as well as aboveground and belowground biomass.Microbial inoculants impacted functional gene structures without altering diversity.The normalized abundance of genes related to the degradation of carbon and nitrogen,methane metabolism,and nitrogen fixation were observed to increase,as well as the functional genes related to phosphorus cycling.Significant correlations were found between nutrient cycling gene abundance and plant biomass.Partial Least Squares Path Model analysis showed that microbial inoculants not only directly influenced plant biomass but also indirectly affected the plant biomass through C cycle modifications.This study highlights the role of microbial inoculants in promoting plant growth and soil restoration by improving soil properties and enhancing normalized abundance of nutrient cycling gene,making them essential for the recovery of abandoned mine sites.
