| 1 | Synchronous estimation of DTM and fractional vegetation cover in forested area from airborne LIDAR height and intensity data显示文摘We proposed a method to separate ground points and vegetation points from discrete return,small footprint airborne laser scanner data,called skewness change algorithm.The method,which makes use of intensity of laser scanner data,is especially applicable in steep,and forested areas.It does not take slope of forested area into account,while other algorithms consider the change of slope in steep forested area.The ground points and vegetation points can be used to estimate digital terrain model(DTM) and fractional vegetation cover,respectively.A few vegetation points which were classified into the ground points were removed as noise before the generation of DTM.This method was tested in a test area of 10000 square meters.A LiteMapper -5600 laser system was used and a flight was carried out over a ground of 700―800 m.In this tested area,a total number of 1546 field measurement ground points were measured with a total station TOPCON GTS-602 and TOPCON GTS -7002 for validation of DTM and the mean error value is -18.5 cm and the RMSE(root mean square error) is ±20.9 cm.A data trap sizes of 4m in diameter from airborne laser scanner data was selected to compute vegetation fraction cover.Validation of fractional vegetation cover was carried out using 15 hemispherical photographs,which are georeferenced to centimeter accuracy by differential GPS.The gap fraction was computed over a range of zenith angles 10° using the gap light analyzer(GLA) from each hemispherical photograph.The R2 for the regression of fractional vegetation cover from these ALS data and the respective field measurements is 0.7554.So this study presents a method for synchronous estimation of DTM and fractional vegetation cover in forested area from airborne LIDAR height and intensity data. | BAO YunFei1,2,CAO ChunXiang1,ZHANG Hao1,CHEN ErXue3,HE QiSheng1,2,HUANG HuaBing1,LI ZengYuan3,LI XiaoWen1,4 & GONG Peng1 1 State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science,jointly sponsored by the Institute for Remote Sensing Applications of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Normal University,Beijing 100101,China 2 Graduate University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences,Beijing 100049,China 3 Institute of Forest Resource Information Technique,the Chinese Academy of Forestry,Beijing 100091,China 4 Research Center for Remote Sensing and GIS,Department of Geography and Beijing Key Laboratory for Remote Sensing of Environment and Digital Sites,Beijing Normal University,Beijing 100875,China | 2008 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2008,51,S2: | 10 |
| 2 | Cooperative Spectrum Allocation with QoS Support in Cognitive Cooperative Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks显示文摘To solve the contradiction between the increasing demand of diverse vehicular wireless applications and the shortage of spectrum resource,a novel cognitive cooperative vehicular ad-hoc network(CCVANET) framework is proposed in this paper.Firstly,we develop an adaptive cognitive spectrum sensing(ACSS) mechanism which can help to trigger and adjust the spectrum sensing window according to network traffic load status and communication quality.And then,Generalized Nash Bargaining Solution(GNBS),which can achieve a good tradeoff between efficiency and weighted fairness,is proposed to formulate the asymmetric intercell resource allocation.Finally,GNBSSafety(GNBS-S) scheme is developed to enhance the Quality of Service(QoS) of safety applications,especially in the heavy load status,where the bandwidth demanded and supplied cannot be matched well.Furthermore,the primary user activity(PUA)which can cause rate loss to secondary users,is also considered to alleviate its influence to fairness.Simulation results indicate that the proposed CC-VANET scheme can greatly improve the spectrum efficiency and reduce the transmission delay and packet loss rate on the heavy contention status.And GNBS spectrum allocation scheme outperforms both the Max-min and Max-rate schemes,and can enhance the communication reliability of safety service considerably in CC-VANET. | ZHANG Lei LUO Tao LIU Wei ZHU Siting LI Jianfeng | 2014 | China Communications2014,11,10: | 5 |
| 3 | Depression accelerates gastric cancer invasion and metastasis by inducing a neuroendocrine phenotype via the catecholamine/β_(2)-AR/MACC1 axis显示文摘Background:Depression is a common,easily ignored,accompanied disease of gastric cancer(GC)patients and is often observed with elevated plasma catecholamine levels.Depression frequently promotes GC progression and leads to poor clinical outcomes;however,the molecular mechanisms underlying depression-induced GC progression remain poorly understood.We aimed to study the effects of depression on GC progression and explore possible mechanisms mediating the action of depression-associated catecholamines on GC.Methods:Depression states of GC patients were graded using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9,and plasma catecholamine levels were examined by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry.Migrative and invasive GC cells were examined using transwell assays,and metastatic GC niches were imaged using bioluminescence technology in a depression mouse model established with chronic unpredictable mild stress.Mouse depression-like behaviors were assessed through sucrose preference,forced swimming,and tail suspension tests.Characteristics of the neuroendocrine phenotype were observed via RT-PCR,Western blotting,flow cytometry,and transmission electron microscopy.Results:Fifty-one GC patients(age:53.61±1.79 years;cancer duration:3.71±0.33 months;depression duration:2.37±0.38 months;male-to-female ratio:1.55:1)were enrolled in the study.Depression grade was significantly higher in GC patients showing higher plasma levels of catecholamines(epinephrine:P=0.018;noradrenaline:P=0.009),higher oncogene metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1(MACC1)level(P=0.018),and metastasis(P<0.001).Further,depression-associated catecholamine specifically bound to the beta-2 adrenergic receptor(β_(2)-AR)and upregulated MACC1 expression,and thus promoting neuroendocrine phenotypic transformation through direct binding betweenMACC1 and synaptophysin.Eventually,the neuroendocrine phenotypic transformation accelerated GC invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo.However,β_(2)-AR antagonist ICI-118,551 or MACC1 silencing effectively blocked the catecholamineinduced neuroendocrine phenotypic transformation and eliminated depressionenhanced GC migration and invasion.Moreover,β_(2)-AR blocking or MACC1 silencing prevented GC metastasis attributed to a neuroendocrine phenotype in a depression mouse model.Conclusions:Catecholamine-induced neuroendocrine phenotypes of GC cells led to depression-accelerated GC invasion and metastasis via the β_(2)-AR/MACC1 axis,while β_(2)-AR antagonist or MACC1 silencing could reverse it,showing promising potential therapeutic strategies for improving the outcome of GC patients with comorbid depression. | Changqie Pan Jianhua Wu Siting Zheng Huiying Sun Yisheng Fang Zhenhua Huang Min Shi Li Liang Jianping Bin Yulin Liao Jinzhang Chen Wangjun Liao | 2021 | Cancer Communications2021,41,10: | 4 |
| 4 | UIF-based cooperative tracking method for multi-agent systems with sensor faults显示文摘For maneuvering target tracking with sensor faults, consensus-based distributed state estimation problems are studied herein. The communication status of the nonlinear system composed of multiple agents is described using the graph theory. Considering the impacts caused by sensor failures on measurement equations, a weighted average consensus-based unscented information filter(UIF) algorithm is proposed to improve tracking accuracy. Moreover, the estimation error for the investigated nonlinear system has been analyzed based on the stochastic boundedness theory to evaluate the proposed algorithm's performance and feasibility. Finally, simulation results are presented to assert the validity of the method. | Yingrong YU Siting PENG Xiwang DONG Qingdong LI Zhang REN | 2019 | Science China(Information Sciences)2019,62,1: | 3 |
| 5 | RAVL1 Activates IDD3 to Negatively Regulate Rice Resistance to Sheath Blight Disease显示文摘Sheath blight disease (ShB) has a severe impact on the production of rice. ABI3/VP1-like 1(RAVL1) negatively regulated the rice defense mechanism against ShB, however, this regulatorymechanism is not clearly understood. In this study, we identified that indeterminate domain 3 (IDD3) waspositively regulated by RAVL1. Further, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, yeast one-hybridassay and transient expression assay indicated a direct binding between RAVL1 and the IDD3 promoterregion. IDD3 was ubiquitously expressed in different tissues and at different stages, and its expressionwas significantly enhanced by Rhizoctonia solani infection. IDD3 exhibited transcription activation activityin yeast and IDD3-GFP was found to be localized in the nucleus. IDD3 mutants exhibited no significantdifferences in response to ShB, while IDD3 overexpressors were more susceptible to ShB compared withwild type (WT) plants. Furthermore, IDD3 repressors were less susceptible to R. solani than WT plants.Interestingly, the expression of brassinosteroid-related genes (D2, D11 and BRI1) was lower in IDD3repressors and higher in IDD3 overexpressors compared with WT. However, the ChIP assay revealedthat IDD3 did not directly bind to the D2 and D11 promoters. Overexpression of IDD3 in BRI1 mutantd61-1 inhibited the activity of IDD3, reducing its susceptibility to ShB compared with IDD3 overexpressorand WT plants, indicating that IDD3 negatively regulated the rice defense mechanism against ShB by activatingthe BR signaling pathway. Thus, our analyses provided information to enhance the understanding of therice defense mechanism against ShB. | SUN Qian YANG Shuo GUO Xiaofan WANG Siting JIA Xintong LI Shuang XUAN Yuanhu | 2021 | Rice science2021,28,2: | 2 |
| 6 | HSF1 facilitates the multistep process of lymphatic metastasis in bladder cancer via a novel PRMT5-WDR5-dependent transcriptional program显示文摘Background:Lymphatic metastasis has been associated with poor prognosis in bladder cancer patients with limited therapeutic options.Emerging evidence shows that heat shock factor 1(HSF1)drives diversified transcriptome to promote tumor growth and serves as a promising therapeutic target.However,the roles of HSF1 in lymphatic metastasis remain largely unknown.Herein,we aimed to illustrate the clinical roles and mechanisms of HSF1 in the lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer and explore its therapeutic potential.Methods:We screened the most relevant gene to lymphatic metastasis among overexpressed heat shock factors(HSFs)and heat shock proteins(HSPs),and analyzed its clinical relevance in three cohorts.Functional in vitro and in vivo assays were performed in HSF1-silenced and-regained models.We also used Coimmunoprecipitation to identify the binding proteins of HSF1 and chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays to investigate the transcriptional program directed by HSF1.The pharmacological inhibitor of HSF1,KRIBB11,was evaluated in popliteal lymph node metastasis models and patientderived xenograft models of bladder cancer.Results:HSF1 expression was positively associated with lymphatic metastasis status,tumor stage,advanced grade,and poor prognosis of bladder cancer.Importantly,HSF1 enhanced the epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of cancer cells in primary tumor to initiate metastasis,proliferation of cancer cells in lymph nodes,and macrophages infiltration to facilitate multistep lymphatic metastasis.Mechanistically,HSF1 interacted with protein arginine methyltransferase 5(PRMT5)and jointly induced the monomethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2(H3R2me1)and symmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2(H3R2me2s).This recruited the WD repeat domain 5(WDR5)/mixed-lineage leukemia(MLL)complex to increase the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4(H3K4me3);resulting in upregulation of lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1(LEF1),matrix metallopeptidase 9(MMP9),C-C motif chemokine ligand 20(CCL20),and E2F transcription factor 2(E2F2).Application of KRIBB11 significantly inhibited the lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer with no significant toxicity.Conclusion:Our findings reveal a novel transcriptional program directed by the HSF1-PRMT5-WDR5 axis during the multistep process of lymphatic metastasis in bladder cancer.Targeting HSF1 could be a multipotent and promising therapeutic strategy for bladder cancer patients with lymphatic metastasis. | Ming Huang Wen Dong Ruihui Xie Jilin Wu Qiao Su Wuguo Li Kai Yao Yuelong Chen Qianghua Zhou Qiang Zhang Wenwen Li Liang Cheng Shengmeng Peng Siting Chen Jian Huang Xu Chen Tianxin Lin | 2022 | Cancer Communications2022,42,5: | 2 |
| 7 | Truncated glycoprotein E of varicella-zoster virus is an ideal immunogen for Escherichia coli-based vaccine design显示文摘Varicella-zoster virus(VZV)is a highly infectious agent responsible for both varicella and herpes zoster disease.Despite high efficacy,there remain safety and accessibility concerns with the licensed vaccines.Here,we sought to produce a VZV g E immunogen using an E.coli expression system.We found that the soluble expression and yield of g E protein could be enhanced via C-terminal truncations to the protein,thereby facilitating a robust and scalable purification process for the purpose of vaccine manufacturing.The lead truncated g E(aa 31–358),hereafter referred to as tg E,was a homogenous monomer in solution and showed excellent antigenicity.Finally,we assessed and compared the immunogenicity of tg E with commercial v Oka LAV and Shingrix vaccine.We found that aluminum-adjuvanted tg E was immunogenic as compared with v Oka LAV.When adjuvanted with AS01B,a two-dose immunization of tg E showed comparable or better potency in antibody responses and cell-mediated immunity with those of the Shingrix vaccine at the same dosage,especially in terms of the proportion of IFN-γ-expressing CD4^(+)T cells.In conclusion,this method of E.coli-mediate tg E expression offers a cost-effective and scalable strategy to generate an ideal VZV g E immunogen for the development of both varicella and zoster vaccines. | Tingting Chen Jie Sun Sibo Zhang Tingting Li Liqin Liu Wenhui Xue Lizhi Zhou Siting Liang Zhili Yu Qingbing Zheng Hai Yu Tong Cheng Jun Zhang Ying Gu Shaowei Li Ningshao Xia | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023,66,4: | 1 |
| 8 | Grafting Propagation Techniques of Red Sandalwood(Pterocarpus santalinus),a Precious Hongmu Tree Species显示文摘[Objectives] This article aimed to study the grafting propagation techniques of red sandalwood ( Pterocarpus santalinus ), so as to provide technical support for the effective propagation of seedlings of this precious Hongmu species.[Methods] Based on the analysis and comparison of the growth performance of the Hongmu tree species introduced to China, taking 1 to 2-year-old Pterocarpus indicus seedlings as rootstocks and single-bud stems of P. santalinus as scions, grafting was carried out from January to April using three grafting propagation methods, cut grafting propagation, skin grafting propagation and oblique grafting propagation.[Results] The results of several years of experiments show that in early spring, P. santalinus could be propagated well using the grafting propagation methods of skin grafting propagation and oblique grafting propagation, with survival rate over 80%. For rootstocks with young age or thin stems, the joint unions of the oblique grafting propagation healed well, without apparent protrusions, unlike those of skin grafting propagation. The survival rate of oblique grafting propagation that is fast and reliable was higher than that of cut grafting propagation.[Conclusions] It is feasible to use the grafting propagation methods to propagate P. santalinus seedlings. This is a traditional and innovative technology path in the propagation of high-quality seedlings of precious Hongmu trees, and can be promoted and applied in industrial practice. | Xiaonan HUANG Yanming LI Yiqing LI Tingting LIU Siting CHEN Chengxiang XU Yingshan QIU Yesheng LIANG | 2019 | Asian Agricultural Research2019,11,7: | 1 |

| 10 | Evolution of tumor microenvironment in colorectal liver metastases under treatment stress显示文摘Dear editor,The tumor microenvironment(TME)heavily impacts disease biology and may influence responses to systemic treatments,and thereby,affects patients’prognosis.In our previous study,we found that immune features could predict prognosis and guide the therapy choices for stage I-III colon cancer[1,2].Increasing evidence shows that therapyinduced TME changes can promote tumor progression,metastasis,and the development of resistance[3,4].However,the TME dynamics in colorectal liver metastases(CRLM)under treatment are still incompletely clear. | Na Huang Dongqiang Zeng Xiaoxiang Rong Chunlin Wang Zhenzhen Wu Jian Guo Yuqi Wang Jin Li Jing Li Jiao Wang Siting Zheng Genjie Huang Jianping Bin Yulin Liao Qian Li Xin Yi Wangjun Liao Min Shi | 2022 | Cancer Communications2022,42,5: | 1 |
| 11 | Deep learning for fast channel estimation in millimeter-wave MIMO systems显示文摘Channel estimation has been considered as a key issue in the millimeter-wave(mmWave)massive multi-input multioutput(MIMO)communication systems,which becomes more challenging with a large number of antennas.In this paper,we propose a deep learning(DL)-based fast channel estimation method for mmWave massive MIMO systems.The proposed method can directly and effectively estimate channel state information(CSI)from received data without performing pilot signals estimate in advance,which simplifies the estimation process.Specifically,we develop a convolutional neural network(CNN)-based channel estimation network for the case of dimensional mismatch of input and output data,subsequently denoted as channel(H)neural network(HNN).It can quickly estimate the channel information by learning the inherent characteristics of the received data and the relationship between the received data and the channel,while the dimension of the received data is much smaller than the channel matrix.Simulation results show that the proposed HNN can gain better channel estimation accuracy compared with existing schemes. | LYU Siting LI Xiaohui FAN Tao LIU Jiawen SHI Mingli | 2022 | Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics2022,33,6: | 0 |
| 12 | Supercontinuum fiber laser-based coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy for label-free chemical imaging显示文摘Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering(CA RS)microscopy can resolve the chemical compo-nents and distribution of living biological systems in a label-firee manner and is favored in several disciplines.Current CA RS microscopes typically use bulky,high-performance solid-state lasers,which are expensive and sensitive to environmental changes.With their relatively low cost and environmental sensitivity,supercontinum fiber(SF)lasers with a small footprint have found increasing use in biomedical applications.Upon these features,in this paper,we homebuilt a low-cost CARS microscope based on a SF laser module(scCA RS microscope).This SF laser module is specially customized by adding a time synchronized seed source channel to the SF laser to form a dual-channel output laser.The performance of the scCARS microscope is evaluated with dimethyl sulfoxide,whose results confirm a spatial resolution of better than 500nm and a detection sensitivity of millimolar concentrations.The dual-color imaging capability is further demonstrated by imaging different species of mixed microspheres.We finally explore the potential of our scCARS microscope by mapping lipid droplets in different cancer cells and corneal stromal lenses. | Nan Wang Jiaojiao Zhang Wangting Zhou Siting Liu Jing Li Xinyi Xu Qi Zeng Yong Li Shouping Zhu Xueli Chen | 2022 | Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences2022,15,4: | 0 |
| 13 | Glutamine metabolic microenvironment drives M2 macrophage polarization tomediate trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive gastric cancer显示文摘Background:Trastuzumab is a first-line targeted therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2)-positive gastric cancer.However,the inevitable occurrence of acquired trastuzumab resistance limits the drug benefit,and there is currently no effective reversal measure.Existing researches on the mechanism of trastuzumab resistance mainly focused on tumor cells themselves,while the understanding of the mechanisms of environment-mediated drug resistance is relatively lacking.This study aimed to further explore the mechanisms of trastuzumab resistance to identify strategies to promote survival in these patients.Methods:Trastuzumab-sensitive and trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive tumor tissues and cells were collected for transcriptome sequencing.Bioinformatics were used to analyze cell subtypes,metabolic pathways,and molecular signaling pathways.Changes in microenvironmental indicators(such as macrophage,angiogenesis,and metabolism)were verified by immunofluorescence(IF)and immunohistochemical(IHC)analyses.Finally,a multi-scale agent-based model(ABM)was constructed.The effects of combination treatment were further validated in nude mice to verify these effects predicted by the ABM.Results:Based on transcriptome sequencing,molecular biology,and in vivo experiments,we found that the level of glutamine metabolism in trastuzumabresistant HER2-positive cells was increased,and glutaminase 1(GLS1)was significantly overexpressed.Meanwhile,tumor-derived GLS1 microvesicles drove M2macrophage polarization.Furthermore,angiogenesis promoted trastuzumab resistance.IHC showed high glutamine metabolism,M2 macrophage polarization,and angiogenesis in trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive tumor tissues from patients and nudemice.Mechanistically,the cell division cycle 42(CDC42)promoted GLS1 expression in tumor cells by activating nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)p65 and drove GLS1microvesicle secretion through IQmotif-containing GTPase-activating protein 1(IQGAP1).Based on the ABM and in vivo experiments,we confirmed that the combination of anti-glutamine metabolism,anti-angiogenesis,and pro-M1 polarization therapy had the best effect in reversing trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive gastric cancer.Conclusions:This study revealed that tumor cells secrete GLS1 microvesicles via CDC42 to promote glutamine metabolism,M2 macrophage polarization,and pro-angiogenic function of macrophages,leading to acquired trastuzumab resistance in HER2-positive gastric cancer.A combination of anti-glutamine metabolism,anti-angiogenesis,and pro-M1 polarization therapy may provide a new insight into reversing trastuzumab resistance. | Xingbin Hu Zhenfeng Ma Beibei Xu Shulong Li Zhiqi Yao Bishan Liang Jiao Wang Wangjun Liao Li Lin Chunling Wang Siting Zheng Qijing Wu Qiong Huang Le Yu Fenghua Wang Min Shi | 2023 | Cancer Communications2023,43,8: | 0 |
| 14 | Transcriptomics reveals substance biosynthesis and transport on membranes of Listeria monocytogenes affected by antimicrobial lipopeptide brevilaterin B显示文摘Listeria monocytogenes is a worrisome food-borne pathogen threatening global food safety.Our previous study proved that lipopeptide brevilaterin B showed efficient antibacterial activity against L.monocytogenes by interacting with the cell membrane.This research further explored the antibacterial mechanism of brevilaterin B against L.monocytogenes at the sub-minimum inhibition concentration via transcriptomic analysis.Brevilaterin B induced growth inhibition rather than direct membrane lysis in L.monocytogenes at the minimum inhibitory concentration.Transcriptomic analysis showed 1779 difference expressed genes,including 895 up-regulated and 884 down-regulated genes.Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis indicated that brevilaterin B influenced multiple pathways of L.monocytogenes,including peptidoglycan biosynthesis,membrane transport(ATP-binding cassette transports,ion transport),cellular metabolism(amino acid and lipid metabolism),ATP synthesis,and activation of the stress response(quorum sensing and bacterial chemotaxis).In conclusion,brevilaterin B affects gene expression related to biosynthesis,transport and stress response pathways on the membrane of L.monocytogenes.The present work provides the first transcriptomic assessment of the antibacterial mechanism of lipopeptide brevilaterin B at the gene level. | Yangliu Liu Yawei Ning Zhou Chen Panpan Han Tongxin Zhi Siting Li Aijin Ma Yingmin Jia | 2023 | Food Science and Human Wellness2023,12,4: | 0 |

| 16 | Selective deletion of zinc transporter 3 in amacrine cells promotes retinal ganglion cell survival and optic nerve regeneration after injury显示文摘Vision depends on accurate signal conduction from the retina to the brain through the optic nerve,an important part of the central nervous system that consists of bundles of axons originating from retinal ganglion cells.The mammalian optic nerve,an important part of the central nervous system,cannot regenerate once it is injured,leading to permanent vision loss.To date,there is no clinical treatment that can regenerate the optic nerve and restore vision.Our previous study found that the mobile zinc(Zn^(2+))level increased rapidly after optic nerve injury in the retina,specifically in the vesicles of the inner plexiform layer.Furthermore,chelating Zn^(2+)significantly promoted axonal regeneration with a long-term effect.In this study,we conditionally knocked out zinc transporter 3(ZnT3)in amacrine cells or retinal ganglion cells to construct two transgenic mouse lines(VGAT^(Cre)ZnT3^(fl/fl)and VGLUT2^(Cre)ZnT3^(fl/fl),respectively).We obtained direct evidence that the rapidly increased mobile Zn^(2+)in response to injury was from amacrine cells.We also found that selective deletion of ZnT3 in amacrine cells promoted retinal ganglion cell survival and axonal regeneration after optic nerve crush injury,improved retinal ganglion cell function,and promoted vision recovery.Sequencing analysis of reginal ganglion cells revealed that inhibiting the release of presynaptic Zn^(2+)affected the transcription of key genes related to the survival of retinal ganglion cells in postsynaptic neurons,regulated the synaptic connection between amacrine cells and retinal ganglion cells,and affected the fate of retinal ganglion cells.These results suggest that amacrine cells release Zn^(2+)to trigger transcriptomic changes related to neuronal growth and survival in reginal ganglion cells,thereby influencing the synaptic plasticity of retinal networks.These results make the theory of zinc-dependent retinal ganglion cell death more accurate and complete and provide new insights into the complex interactions between retinal cell networks. | Zhe Liu Jingfei Xue Canying Liu Jiahui Tang Siting Wu Jicheng Lin Jiaxu Han Qi Zhang Caiqing Wu Haishun Huang Ling Zhao Yehong Zhuo Yiqing Li | 2023 | Neural Regeneration Research2023,18,12: | 0 |
| 17 | Targeted genome engineering in human induced pluripotent stem cells by penetrating TALENs显示文摘Background:Zinc-finger nucleases(ZFNs)and transcription activator-like effector nucleases(TALENs)have been successfully used to knock out endogenous genes in stem cell research.However,the deficiencies of current gene-based delivery systems may hamper the clinical application of these nucleases.A new delivery method that can improve the utility of these nucleases is needed.Results:In this study,we utilized a cell-penetrating peptide-based system for ZFN and TALEN delivery.Functional TAT-ZFN and TAT-TALEN proteins were generated by fusing the cell-penetrating TAT peptide to ZFN and TALEN,respectively.However,TAT-ZFN was difficult to purify in quantities sufficient for analysis in cell culture.Purified TAT-TALEN was able to penetrate cells and disrupt the gene encoding endogenous human chemokine(C-C motif)receptor 5(CCR5,a co-receptor for HIV-1 entry into cells).Hypothermic treatment greatly enhanced the TAT-TALENmediated gene disruption efficiency.A 5%modification rate was observed in human induced pluripotent stem cells(hiPSCs)treated with TAT-TALEN as measured by the Surveyor assay.Conclusions:TAT-TALEN protein-mediated gene disruption was applicable in hiPSCs and represents a promising technique for gene knockout in stem cells.This new technique may advance the clinical application of TALEN technology. | Renli Ru Yongchao Yao Songlin Yu Benpeng Yin Wanwan Xu Siting Zhao Li Qin Xiaoping Chen | 2013 | Cell Regeneration2013,2,1: | 0 |
| 18 | Size Effects of Atomically Precise Gold Nanoclusters in Catalysis显示文摘The emergence of ligand-protected,atomically precise gold nanoclusters(NCs)in recent years has attracted broad interest in catalysis due to their well-defined atomic structures and intriguing properties.Especially,the precise formulas of NCs provide an opportunity to study the size effects at the atomic level without complications by the polydispersity in conventional nanoparticles that obscures the relationship between the size/structure and properties.Herein,we summarize the catalytic size effects of atomically precise,thioate-protected gold NCs in the range of tens to hundreds of metal atoms.The catalytic reactions include electrochemical catalysis,photocatalysis,and thermocatalysis.With the precise sizes and structures,the fundamentals underlying the size effects are analyzed,such as the surface area,electronic properties,and active sites.In the catalytic reactions,one or more factors may exert catalytic effects simultaneously,hence leading to different catalytic-activity trends with the size change of NCs.The summary of literature work disentangles the underlying fundamental mechanisms and provides insights into the size effects.Future studies will lead to further understanding of the size effects and shed light on the catalytic active sites and ultimately promote catalyst design at the atomic level. | Site Li Xiangsha Du Zhongyu Liu Yingwei Li Yucai Shao Rongchao Jin | 2023 | Precision Chemistry2023,1,1: | 0 |
| 19 | Intratumoral Bacteria Dysbiosis Is Associated with Human Papillary Thyroid Cancer and Correlated with Oncogenic Signaling Pathways显示文摘Emerging evidence suggests that microbial dysbiosis plays vital roles in many human cancers.However,knowledge of whether the microbial community in thyroid tumor is related to tumorigenesis remains elusive.In this study,we aimed to explore the microbial community in thyroid tissues and its contribution to papillary thyroid cancer(PTC).In parallel,we performed microbial profiling and transcriptome sequencing in the tumor and adjacent normal tissues of a large cohort of 340 PTC and benign thyroid nodule(BTN)patients.Distinct microbial signatures were identified in PTC,BTN,and their adjacent nontumor tissues.Intra-thyroid tissue bacteria were verified by means of bacteria staining,fluorescence in situ hybridization,and immunoelectron microscopy.We found that 17 bacterial taxa were differentially abundant in PTC compared with BTN,which included enrichment in PTC of the pathobionts Rhodococcus,Neisseria,Streptococcus,Halomonas,and Devosia,and depletion of the beneficial bacteria Amycolatopsis.These differentially abundant bacteria could differentiate PTC tumor tissues(PTC-T)from BTN tissues(BTN-T)with an area under the curve(AUC)of 81.66%.Microbial network analysis showed increased correlation strengths among the bacterial taxa in PTC-T in comparison with BTN-T.Immunefunction-corresponding bacteria(i.e.,Erwinia,Bacillus,and Acinetobacter)were found to be enriched in PTC with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.Moreover,our integrative analysis revealed that the PTC-enriched bacteria had a positive association with key PTC-oncogenic pathway-related genes,including BRAF,KRAS,IRAK4,CTNNB1,PIK3CA,MAP3K7,and EGFR.In conclusion,our results suggest that intratumor bacteria dysbiosis is associated with the thyroid tumorigenesis and oncogenic signaling pathways of PTC. | Shuang Yu Yanqiang Ding Xuejie Wang Siu Kin Ng Siting Cao Weixin Liu Zhuming Guo Yubin Xie Shubin Hong Lixia Xu Xiaoxing Li Jie Li Weiming Lv Sui Peng Yanbing Li Joseph J.Y.Sung Jun Yu Haipeng Xiao | 2023 | Engineering2023,,9: | 0 |
| 20 | Tissue Culture of Red Sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus)显示文摘[Objectives] This study was conducted to develop a rapid propagation method for red sandalwood ( Pterocarpus santalinus ) by tissue culture.[Methods] The well-grown red sandalwood seed embryos were inoculated into three kinds of culture media after aseptic treatment,and the aseptic explants were obtained and inoculated into six kinds of media for light culture.[Results] In the best disinfection schemes of red sandalwood,disinfecting with HgCl 2 for 8 min achieved the highest germination and survival rates;when the medium for inducing red sandalwood explants was MS+0.2 mg/L IBA,the induction rate reached a maximum value;and when the culture medium for inducing stem segments of aseptic red sandalwood plantlets was MS+3.0 mg/L 6-BA+0.3 mg/L IBA,the growth of the stem segments achieved the best effect.The optimal medium for inducing red sandalwood explants was MS+IBA 0.2 mg/L,and the optimal medium for inducing stem segments of red sandalwood was MS+3.0 mg/L 6-BA+0.3 mg/L IBA.[Conclusions] The results of this study have a large reproductive coefficient,simple process and low cost,which have outstanding value for promoting the breeding and promotion of red sandalwood seedlings. | Siting CHEN Yiqing LI Chengxiang XU Xiaonan HUANG Tingting LIU Bilin PENG Jianfang PAN Minting LIN Yuanbei LIAO | 2019 | Agricultural Biotechnology2019,8,5: | 0 |
