PRMT5 regulates Golgi apparatus structure through methylation of the golgin GM130

Maintenance of the Golgi apparatus （GA） structure and function depends on Golgi matrix proteins. The posttranslational modification of Golgi proteins such as phosphorylation of members of the golgin and GRASP families is important for determining Golgi architecture. Some Golgi proteins including golgin-84 are also known to be methylated, but the function of golgin methylation remains unclear. Here, we show that the protein arginine methyltransferase 5 （PRMT5） localizes to the GA and forms complexes with several components involved in GA ribbon formation and vesicle tethering. PRMT5 interacts with the golgin GM130, and depletion of PRMT5 causes defects in Golgi ribbon formation. Furthermore, PRMT5 methylates N-terminal arginines in GM130, and such arginine methylation appears critical for GA ribbon formation. Our findings reveal a molecular mechanism by which PRMT5-dependent arginine methylation of GM130 controls the maintenance of GA architecture.

Serum levels of mi RNA in patients with hepatitis B virus-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure

Background: Hepatitis B virus(HBV)-associated acute-on-chronic liver failure(HBV-ACLF) is a lifethreatening condition and its exact pathophysiology and progression remain unclear. The present study aimed to assess the role of serum mi RNAs in the evaluation of HBV-ACLF and to develop a model to predict the outcomes for ACLF.Methods: Serum was collected from 41 chronic hepatitis B and 55 HBV-ACLF patients in addition to30 chronic asymptomatic HBV carriers as controls. The mi RNAs expressions were measured by real-time quantitative PCR(q-PCR). Statistical analyses were conducted to assess the ability of differentially expressed mi RNAs and other prognostic factors in identifying ACLF prognosis and to develop a new predictive model.Results: Real-time q-PCR indicated that serum miR-146 a-5 p, mi R-122-3 p and mi R-328-3 p levels were significantly upregulated in ACLF patients compared to chronic hepatitis B and chronic asymptomatic HBV carriers patients. In addition, multivariate regression analyses indicated that Na+, INR, gastrointestinal bleeding and mi R-122-3 p are all independent factors that are reliable and sensitive to the prognosis of HBV-ACLF. Therefore, we developed a new model for the prediction of HBV-ACLF disease state: Y = 0.402 × Na+-1.72 × INR-4.963 × gastrointestinal bleeding(Yes = 0; No = 1)-0.278 ×(mi R-122-3 p) + 50.449. The predictive accuracy of the model was 95.3% and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC) was 0.847.Conclusions: Expression levels of these mi RNAs(miR-146 a-5 p, mi R-122-3 p and mi R-328-3 p) positively correlate with the severity of liver inflammation in patients with ACLF and may be useful to predict HBV-ACLF severity.

A high-resolution route map reveals distinct stages of chondrocyte dedifferentiation for cartilage regeneration

Articular cartilage damage is a universal health problem.Despite recent progress,chondrocyte dedifferentiation has severely compromised the clinical outcomes of cell-based cartilage regeneration.Loss-of-function changes are frequently observed in chondrocyte expansion and other pathological conditions,but the characteristics and intermediate molecular mechanisms remain unclear.In this study,we demonstrate a time-lapse atlas of chondrocyte dedifferentiation to provide molecular details and informative biomarkers associated with clinical chondrocyte evaluation.We performed various assays,such as single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq),live-cell metabolic assays,and assays for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing(ATAC-seq),to develop a biphasic dedifferentiation model consisting of early and late dedifferentiation stages.Early-stage chondrocytes exhibited a glycolytic phenotype with increased expression of genes involved in metabolism and antioxidation,whereas late-stage chondrocytes exhibited ultrastructural changes involving mitochondrial damage and stress-associated chromatin remodeling.Using the chemical inhibitor BTB06584,we revealed that early and late dedifferentiated chondrocytes possessed distinct recovery potentials from functional phenotype loss.Notably,this two-stage transition was also validated in human chondrocytes.An image-based approach was established for clinical use to efficiently predict chondrocyte plasticity using stage-specific biomarkers.Overall,this study lays a foundation to improve the quality of chondrocytes in clinical use and provides deep insights into chondrocyte dedifferentiation.

Joint electricity and carbon market for Northeast Asia energy interconnection

Decarbonization of the electricity sector is crucial to mitigate the impacts of climate change and global warming over the coming decades.The key challenges for achieving this goal are carbon emission trading and electricity sector regulation,which are also the major components of the carbon and electricity markets,respectively.In this paper,a joint electricity and carbon market model is proposed to investigate the relationships between electricity price,carbon price,and electricity generation capacity,thereby identifying pathways toward a renewable energy transition under the transactional energy interconnection framework.The proposed model is a dynamically iterative optimization model consisting of upper-level and lower-level models.The upper-level model optimizes power generation and obtains the electricity price,which drives the lower-level model to update the carbon price and electricity generation capacity.The proposed model is verified using the Northeast Asia power grid.The results show that increasing carbon price will result in increased electricity price,along with further increases in renewable energy generation capacity in the following period.This increase in renewable energy generation will reduce reliance on carbon-emitting energy sources,and hence the carbon price will decline.Moreover,the interconnection among zones in the Northeast Asia power grid will enable reasonable allocation of zonal power generation.Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be an effective technology to reduce the carbon emissions and further realize the emission reduction targets in 2030-2050.It eases the stress of realizing the energy transition because of the less urgency to install additional renewable energy capacity.

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate alleviates prenatal pyridaben exposureinduced anxiety-like behaviors in offspring

Pyridaben(PY)is a widely used organochlorine acaricide,which can be detected in the peripheral blood of pregnant women.Available evidence suggests that PY has reproductive toxicity.However,it remains uncertain whether prenatal PY exposure impacts neurobehavioral development in offspring.Here,we administered PY to pregnant mice at a dose of 0.5 and 5 mg kg^(-1)day^(-1)via gavage and observed anxietylike behaviors in PY offspring aged five weeks.We then integrated the metabolome and transcriptome of the offspring's brain to explore the underlying mechanism.Metabolome data indicated that the vitamin B6 metabolism pathway was significantly affected,and the pyridoxal 50-phosphate(PLP)concentration and the active form of vitamin B6 was significantly reduced.Moreover,the transcriptome data showed that both PLP generation-related Pdxk and anxiety-related Gad1 were significantly down-regulated.Meanwhile,there was a decreasing trend in the concentration of GABA in the hippocampal DG region.Next,we supplemented PLP at a dose of 20 mg kg^(-1)day^(-1)to the PY offspring via intraperitoneal injection at three weeks.We found up-regulated expression of Pdxk and Gad1 and restored anxiety-like behaviors.This study suggests that prenatal exposure to PY can disrupt vitamin B6 metabolism,reduce the concentration of PLP,down-regulate the expression levels of Pdxk and Gad1,inhibit the production of GABA,and ultimately lead to anxiety-like behaviors in offspring.

Deep learning-based scattering removal of light field imaging

Light field imaging has shown significance in research fields for its high-temporal-resolution 3D imaging ability.However,in scenes of light field imaging through scattering,such as biological imaging in vivo and imaging in fog,the quality of 3D reconstruction will be severely reduced due to the scattering of the light field information.In this paper,we propose a deep learning-based method of scattering removal of light field imaging.In this method,a neural network,trained by simulation samples that are generated by light field imaging forward models with and without scattering,is utilized to remove the effect of scattering on light fields captured experimentally.With the deblurred light field and the scattering-free forward model,3D reconstruction with high resolution and high contrast can be realized.We demonstrate the proposed method by using it to realize high-quality 3D reconstruction through a single scattering layer experimentally.

Glutamate and GABAA receptor crosstalk mediates homeostatic regulation of neuronal excitation in the mammalian brain

Maintaining a proper balance between the glutamate receptor-mediated neuronal excitation and the A type of GABA receptor(GABAAR)mediated inhibition is essential for brain functioning;and its imbalance contributes to the pathogenesis of many brain disorders including neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses.Here we identify a novel glutamate-GABAAR interaction mediated by a direct glutamate binding of the GABAAR.In HEK293 cells overexpressing recombinant GABAARs,glutamate and its analog ligands,while producing no current on their own,potentiate GABA-evoked currents.This potentiation is mediated by a direct binding at a novel glutamate binding pocket located at theα+/β−subunit interface of the GABAAR.Moreover,the potentiation does not require the presence of aγsubunit,and in fact,the presence ofγsubunit significantly reduces the potency of the glutamate potentiation.In addition,the glutamate-mediated allosteric potentiation occurs on native GABAARs in rat neurons maintained in culture,as evidenced by the potentiation of GABAAR-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents and tonic currents.Most importantly,we found that genetic impairment of this glutamate potentiation in knock-in mice resulted in phenotypes of increased neuronal excitability,including decreased thresholds to noxious stimuli and increased seizure susceptibility.These results demonstrate a novel cross-talk between excitatory transmitter glutamate and inhibitory GABAAR.Such a rapid and short feedback loop between the two principal excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission systems may play a critical homeostatic role in fine-tuning the excitation-inhibition balance(E/I balance),thereby maintaining neuronal excitability in the mammalian brain under both physiological and pathological conditions.

Facile scalable one-step wet-spinning of surgical sutures with shape memory function and antibacterial activity for wound healing

Surgical suture is commonly used in clinic due to its action in accelerating the process of wound healing.However,difficultly handling in minimally invasive surgery and bacteria-induced infection usually limit its use in a wide range of applications.Here,we report a facile scalable strategy to fabricate surgical sutures with shape memory function and antibacterial activity for wound healing.Specifically,a shape memory polyurethane(SMPU)with a transition temperature(Ttrans)at 41.3℃was synthesized by adjusting the mole ratio of the hard/soft segment,and then the shape memory surgical sutures containing polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride(PHMB)as a model drug for antibacterial activity were fabricated by a facile scalable one-step wet-spinning approach,in which PHMB was directly dissolved in the coagulation bath that enable its loading into the sutures through the dual diffusion during the phase separation.The prepared sutures were characterized by their morphology,mechanical properties,shape memory,antibacterial activity,as well as biocompatibility before the wound healing capability was tested in a mouse skin suture-wound model.It was demonstrated that the optimized suture is capable of both shape memory function and antibacterial activity,and promote wound healing,suggesting that the facile scalable one-step wet-spinning strategy provides a promising tool to fabricate surgical sutures for wound healing.

A spatial frequency/spectral indicator-driven model for estimating cultivated land quality using the gradient boosting decision tree and genetic algorithm-back propagation neural network

Cultivated land quality(CLQ)is related to national food security.Rapid and high-precision monitoring of CLQ is crucial for the sustainable development of agriculture.However,current satellite image-based evaluation methods that only consider the crop's spatial spectrum characteristics in the key growth stages cannot accurately estimate CLQ.This study proposes a new method based on time-series spectral data of crop growth to improve the accuracy of CLQ estimation.This study was conducted in the Conghua District of Guangzhou,Guangdong Province,China.The results showed that seven spectral indicators were determined as the optimal indicators based on the gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT)and variance inflation factor(VIF).And the genetic algorithm-back propagation neural network(GA-BPNN)model provided more accurate CLQ estimates than the partial least squares regression(PLSR)model,indicating a nonlinear relationship between CLQ and the indicators.In addition,the GA-BPNN model with a normalized root mean square error(NRMSE)of 9.91%demonstrates the excellent potential for mapping CLQ over large areas.The model based on the seven optimal indicators of crop phenology provided higher accuracy than the GA-BPNN model based on the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)indicators in the spatial domain,significantly decreasing the NRMSE of the CLQ estimates by 3.17%.This further implied that the spectral indicators in the spatial frequency domain can improve the accuracy of estimating CLQ.

Maxwell's demon at work: Mitochondria, the organelles that convert information into energy?

Mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion) are important organelles that in the center of energy production and information processing. They are primarily known as the powerhouse of the cell, as they produce most of the energy that cells need for all kinds of activities.This is done by generating the cellular energy currency,adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In addition to energy production, mitochondria play a central role in regulating signal transduction as signaling organelles.Mitochondria control Ca2+ homeostasis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and elimination, cellular differentiation, and programmed cell death (apoptosis).They are involved in many signaling pathways including calcium, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt,mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), wingless-int (Wnt), Ras, and insulin signaling pathways.

The formation of Ca^(2+) gradients at the cleavage furrows during cytokinesis of Zebrafish embryos

In dividing embryos,a localized elevation in intracellular Ca^(2+)([Ca^(2+)]i)at the cleavage furrow has been shown to be essential for cytokinesis.However,the underlying mechanisms for generating and maintaining these[Ca^(2+)]_(i) gradients throughout cytokinesis are not fully understood.In the present study,we analyzed the role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors(IP3Rs)and endoplasmic reticulum(ER)distribution in determining the intracellular Ca^(2+) gradients in early zebrafish blastomeres.Application of the injected Ca^(2+) indicator,Indo-1,showed that during the first cell division a standing Ca^(2+) gradient was formed~35 min after fertilization,with the[Ca^(2+)]_(i) spatially decaying from 500–600 nmol/L at the cleavage furrow to 100–200 nmol/L around the nucleus.While the IP3R immunohistochemical fluorescence was relatively concentrated in the peri-furrow region,ER labeling was relatively enriched in both peri-furrow and peri-nuclear regions.Numeric simulation suggested that a divergence in the spatial distribution of IP3R and the locations of Ca^(2+) uptake within the ER was essential for the formation of a standing Ca^(2+) gradient,and the Ca^(2+) gradient could only be well-established under an optimal stoichiometry of Ca^(2+) uptake and release.Indeed,while inhibition of IP3R Ca^(2+) release blocked the generation of the Ca^(2+)gradient at a lower[Ca^(2+)]_(i) level,both Ca^(2+) release stimulation by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate(IP3)injection and ER Ca^(2+) pump inhibition by cyclopiazonic acid also eliminated the Ca^(2+) gradients at higher[Ca^(2+)]_(i) levels.Our results suggest a dynamic relationship between ER-mediated Ca^(2+) release and uptake that underlies the maintenance of the perifurrow Ca^(2+) gradient and is essential for cytokinesis of zebrafish embryos.
