| 1 | ZmMs30 Encoding a Novel GDSL Lipase Is Essential for Male Fertility and Valuable for Hybrid Breeding in Maize显示文摘Genic male sterility (GMS) is very useful for hybrid vigor utilization and hybrid seed production. Although a large number of GMS genes have been identified in plants, little is known about the roles of GDSL lipase members in anther and pollen development. Here, we report a maize GMS gene, ZmMs30, which encodes a novel type of GDSL lipase with diverged catalytic residues. Enzyme kinetics and activity assays show that ZmMs30 has lipase activity and prefers to substrates with a short carbon chain. ZmMs30 is specifically expressed in maize anthers during stages 7-9. Loss of ZmMs30 function resulted in defective anther cuticle, irregular foot layer of pollen exine, and complete male sterility. Cytological and lipidomics analyses demonstrate that ZmMs30 is crucial for the aliphatic metabolic pathway required for pollen exine formation and anther cuticle development. Furthermore, we found that male sterility caused by loss of ZmMs30 function was stable in various inbred lines with different genetic background, and that it didn't show any negative effect on maize heterosis and production, suggesting that ZmMs30 is valuable for crossbreeding and hybrid seed production. We then developed a new multi-control sterility system using ZmMs30 and its mutant line, and demonstrated it is feasible for generating desirable GMS lines and valu. able for hybrid maize seed production. Taken together, our study sheds new light on the mechanisms of anther and pollen development, and provides a valuable male-sterility system for hybrid breeding maize. | Xueli An Zhenying Dong Youhui Tian Ke Xie Suowei Wu Taotao Zhu Danfeng Zhang Van Zhou Canfang Niu Biao Ma Quancan Hou Jianxi Bao Simiao Zhang Ziwen Li Yanbo Wang Tingwei Yan Xiaojing Sun Yuwen Zhang Jinping Li Xiangyuan Wan | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019，12，3： | 15 |
| 2 | The impact of UV treatment on microbial control and DBPs formation in full-scale drinking water systems in northern China显示文摘To manage potential microbial risks and meet increasingly strict drinking water health standards,UV treatment has attracted increasing attention for use in drinking water systems in China.However,the effects of UV treatment on microbial control and disinfection byproducts(DBPs)formation in real municipal drinking water systems are poorly understood.Here,we collected water samples from three real drinking water systems in Beijing and Tianjin to investigate the impacts of UV treatment on microbial control and DBP formation.We employed heterotrophic plate count(HPC),flow cytometry(FCM),quantitative PCR analysis,and high-throughput sequencing to measure microorganisms in the samples.Different trends were observed between HPC and total cell count(measured by FCM),indicating that a single indicator could not reflect the real degree of biological re-growth in drinking water distribution systems(DWDSs).A significant increase in the 16S rRNA gene concentration was observed when the UV system was stopped.Besides,the bacterial community composition was similar at the phylum level but differed markedly at the genera level among the three DWDSs.Some chlorine-resistant bacteria,including potential pathogens(e.g.,Acinetobacter)showed a high relative abundance when the UV system was turned off.It can be concluded that UV treatment can mitigate microbial re-growth to some extent.Finally,UV treatment had a limited influence on the formation of DBPs,including trihalomethanes,haloacetic acids,and nitrogenated DBPs.The findings of this study may help to understand the performance of UV treatment in real drinking water systems. | Xiuwei Ao Zhongyun Chen Simiao Li Chen Li Zedong Lu Wenjun Sun | 2020 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2020，32，1： | 2 |
| 3 | Factors Predicting Progression to Severe COVID-19: A Competing Risk Survival Analysis of 1753 Patients in Community Isolation in Wuhan, China显示文摘Most studies of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)progression have focused on the transfer of patients within secondary or tertiary care hospitals from regular wards to intensive care units.Little is known about the risk factors predicting the progression to severe COVID-19 among patients in community iso-lation,who are either asymptomatic or suffer from only mild to moderate symptoms.Using a multivari-able competing risk survival analysis,we identify several important predictors of progression to severe COVID-19—rather than to recovery—among patients in the largest community isolation center in Wuhan,China from 6 February 2020(when the center opened)to 9 March 2020(when it closed).All patients in community isolation in Wuhan were either asymptomatic or suffered from mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms.We performed competing risk survival analysis on time-to-event data from a cohort study of all COVID-19 patients(n=1753)in the isolation center.The potential predictors we inves-tigated were the routine patient data collected upon admission to the isolation center:age,sex,respira-tory symptoms,gastrointestinal symptoms,general symptoms,and computed tomography(CT)scan signs.The main outcomes were time to severe COVID-19 or recovery.The factors predicting progression to severe COVID-19 were:male sex(hazard ratio(HR)=1.29,95%confidence interval(CI)1.04–1.58,p=0.018),young and old age,dyspnea(HR=1.58,95%CI 1.24–2.01,p<0.001),and CT signs of ground-glass opacity(HR=1.39,95%CI 1.04–1.86,p=0.024)and infiltrating shadows(HR=1.84,95%CI 1.22–2.78,p=0.004).The risk of progression was found to be lower among patients with nausea or vomiting(HR=0.53,95%CI 0.30–0.96,p=0.036)and headaches(HR=0.54,95%CI 0.29–0.99,p=0.046).Our results suggest that several factors that can be easily measured even in resource-poor set-tings(dyspnea,sex,and age)can be used to identify mild COVID-19 patients who are at increased risk of disease progression.Looking for CT signs of ground-glass opacity and infiltrating shadows may be an affordable option to support triage decisions in resource-rich settings.Common and unspecific symptoms(headaches,nausea,and vomiting)are likely to have led to the identification and subsequent community isolation of COVID-19 patients who were relatively unlikely to deteriorate.Future public health and clinical guidelines should build on this evidence to improve the screening,triage,and monitoring of COVID-19 patients who are asymtomatic or suffer from mild to moderate symptoms. | Simiao Chen Hui Sun Mei Heng Xunliang Tong Pascal Geldsetzer Zhuoran Wang Peixin Wu Juntao Yang Yu Hu Chen Wang Till Bärnighausen | 2022 | Engineering2022，8，6： | 1 |
| 4 | Long-term outcomes in COVID-19 patients who recovered from the first wave of the pandemic显示文摘This cross-sectional study evaluated the long-term health effects of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)in Jianghan District(Wuhan,China).The results showed that 61.4%of COVID-19 patients reported at least one symptom and 8.8%had depressive symptoms at the 17-month follow-up.The proportion of patients with chest radiographic abnormalities in Fangcang shelter hospitals and designated COVID-19hospitals was 31.6%and 41.1%,respectively,and the proportion of patients with impaired pulmonary diffusion capacity in these hospitals was 52.8%and 60.9%,respectively.Female sex(odds ratio[OR]=1.48,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.16–1.88),severe disease(OR=1.46,95%CI:1.01–2.10)and a higher number of initial symptoms(OR=1.31,95%CI:1.23–1.40)were associated with the development of sequelae symptoms at 17 months.This study involving community-dwelling COVID-19adults may help determine the long-term effects of COVID-19 during the first pandemic wave.Nonetheless,larger follow-up studies are needed to characterize the post-COVID-19 condition. | Dan Cui Simiao Chen Luzhao Feng Mengmeng Jia Yeming Wang Weijun Xiao Yanxia Sun Qiangru Huang Libing Ma Zhiwei Leng Hao Wang Bin Cao Weizhong Yang Juntao Yang Chen Wang | 2022 | National Science Review2022，9，11： | 0 |
| 5 | Prediction of the internal energy contribution of polydimethylsiloxane during elongation显示文摘Rubber elasticity theory is of fundamental importance in polymer science. The traditional theory is athermal, describing rubber deformation behavior as entropy elasticity without an internal energy contribution. It has been found experimentally, however, that the internal energy contribution is not zero. In the present study we have used conformational elasticity theory to calculate the internal energy contribution of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and results obtained are consistent with a number of experimental observations. | WANG SiMiao SUN Juan YANG XiaoZhen | 2012 | Science China Chemistry2012，55，11： | 0 |
| 6 | Identification of S-RNase genotype and analysis of its origin and evolutionary patterns in Malus plants显示文摘Identification of the S genotype of Malus plants will greatly promote the discovery of new genes,the cultivation and production of apple,the breeding of new varieties,and the origin and evolution of self-incompatibility in Malus plants.In this experiment,88 Malus germplasm resources,such as Aihuahong,Xishuhaitang,and Reguanzi,were used as materials.Seven gene-specific primer combinations were used in the genotype identification.PCR amplification using leaf DNA produced a single S-RNase gene fragment in all materials.The results revealed that 70 of the identified materials obtained a complete S-RNase genotype,while only one S-RNase gene was found in 18 of them.Through homology comparison and analysis,13 S-RNase genotypes were obtained:S_(1)S_(2)(Aihuahong,etc.),S_(1)S_(28)(Xixian Haitang,etc.),S_(1)S_(51)(Hebei Pingdinghaitang),S_(1)S_(3)(Xiangyangcun Daguo,etc.),S_(2)S_(3)(Zhaiyehaitang,etc.),S_(3)S_(51)(Xishan 1),S_(3)S_(28)(Huangselihaerde,etc.),S_(2)S_(28)(Honghaitang,etc.),S_(4)S_(28)(Bo 11),S_(7)S_(28)(Jiuquan Shaguo),S_(10)S_e(Dongchengguan 13),S_(10)S_(21)(Dongxiangjiao)and S_(3)S_(51)(Xiongyue Haitang).Simultaneously,the frequency of the S gene in the tested materials was analyzed.The findings revealed that different S genes had varying frequencies in Malus resources,as well as varying frequencies between intraspecific and interspecific.S_(3)had the highest frequency of 68.18%,followed by S_(1)(42.04%).In addition,the phylogenetic tree and origin evolution analysis revealed that the S gene differentiation was completed prior to the formation of various apple species,that cultivated species also evolved new S genes,and that the S_(50)gene is the oldest S allele in Malus plants.The S_(1),S_(29),and S_(33)genes in apple-cultivated species,on the other hand,may have originated in M.sieversii,M.hupehensis,and M.kansuensis,respectively.In addition to M.sieversii,M.kansuensis and M.sikkimensis may have also played a role in the origin and evolution of some Chinese apples. | Zhao Liu Yuan Gao Kun Wang Jianrong Feng Simiao Sun Xiang Lu Lin Wang Wen Tian Guangyi Wang Zichen Li Qingshan Li Lianwen Li Dajiang Wang | 2024 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2024，23，4： | 0 |
| 7 | Cholinergic dysfunction-induced insufficient activation of alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor drives the development of rheumatoid arthritis through promoting protein citrullination via the SP3/PAD4 pathway显示文摘Both cholinergic dysfunction and protein citrullination are the hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis(RA),but the relationship between the two phenomena remains unclear.We explored whether and how cholinergic dysfunction accelerates protein citrullination and consequently drives the development of RA.Cholinergic function and protein citrullination levels in patients with RA and collageninduced arthritis(CIA)mice were collected.In both neuron-macrophage coculture system and CIA mice,the effect of cholinergic dysfunction on protein citrullination and expression of peptidylarginine deiminases(PADs)was assessed by immunofluorescence.The key transcription factors for PAD4 expression were predicted and validated.Cholinergic dysfunction in the patients with RA and CIA mice negatively correlated with the degree of protein citrullination in synovial tissues.The cholinergic or alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(a7nAChR)deactivation and activation resulted in the promotion and reduction of protein citrullination in vitro and in vivo,respectively.Especially,the activation deficiency of a7nAChR induced the earlier onset and aggravation of CIA.Furthermore,deactivation of a7nAChR increased the expression of PAD4 and specificity protein-3(SP3)in vitro and in vivo.Our results suggest that cholinergic dysfunction-induced deficient a7nAChR activation,which induces the expression of SP3 and its downstream molecule PAD4,accelerating protein citrullination and the development of RA. | Changjun Lv Minghui Sun Yilei Guo Wenxin Xia Simiao Qiao Yu Tao Yulai Fang Qin Zhang Yanrong Zhu Yusufu Yalikun Yufeng Xia Zhifeng Wei Yue Dai | 2023 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2023，13，4： | 0 |
