| 1 | Prognostic assessment of apoptotic gene polymorphisms in non-small cell lung cancer in Chinese显示文摘Apoptosis plays a key role in inhibiting tumor growth, progression and resistance to anti-tumor therapy. We hypothesized that genetic variants in apoptotic genes may affect the prognosis of lung cancer. To test this hypothesis, we selected 38 potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 12 genes (BAX, BCL2, BID, CASP3, CASP6, CASP7, CASP8, CASP9, CASP10, FAS, FASLG and MCL1) involved in apoptosis to assess their prognostic significance in lung cancer in a Chinese case cohort with 568 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Thirty-five SNPs passing quality control underwent association analyses, 11 of which were shown to be significantly associated with NSCLC survival (P<0.05). After Cox stepwise regression analyses, 3 SNPs were independently associated with the outcome of NSCLC (BID rs8190315: P=0.003; CASP9 rs4645981: P=0.007 and FAS rs1800682: P=0.016). A favorable survival of NSCLC was significantly associated with the genotypes of BID rs8190315 AG/GG (adjusted HR=0.65, 95% CI: 0.49-0.88), CASP9 rs4645981 AA (HR=0.22, 95% CI: 0.07-0.69) and FAS rs1800682 GG (adjusted HR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.46-0.97). Time-dependent receptor operation curve (ROC) analysis revealed that the area under curve (AUC) at year 5 was significantly increased from 0.762 to 0.819 after adding the risk score of these 3 SNPs to the clinical risk score. The remaining 32 SNPs were not significantly associated with NSCLC prognosis after adjustment for these 3 SNPs. These findings indicate that BID rs8190315, CASP9 rs4645981 and FAS rs1800682 polymorphisms in the apoptotic pathway may be involved in the prognosis of NSCLC in the Chinese population. | Songyu Cao Cheng Wang Xinen Huang Juncheng Dai Lingmin Hu Yao Liu Jiaping Chen Hongxia Ma Guangfu Jin Zhibin Hu Lin Xu Hongbing Shen | 2013 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2013,27,3: | 6 |
| 2 | Gut microbiota contributes to the development of endometrial glands in gilts during the ovary-dependent period显示文摘Background:The hyper-prolificacy Meishan gilts achieved a superior endometrial gland development(EGD)than white crossbred gilts during the ovary-independent period(before 60 d of age).Then,the EGD continues under the management of ovary-derived steroid hormones that regulated by gut microbiota(after 60 d of age).However,whether Meishan gilts’superiority in EGD lasting to the ovary-dependent period(after 60 d of age)and the role of gut microbiota in this period both remain unclear.Methods:Meishan gilts and Landrace x Yorkshire(LxY)gilts were raised under the same housing and feeding conditions until sexual maturity and then we compared their EGD and gut microbiota.Meanwhile,we transplanted fecal microbiota from Meishan gilts to L×Y gilts to explore the role of gut microbiota in EGD.We sampled plasma every 3 weeks and collected the uterus,ovary,liver,and rectal feces after the sacrifice.We then determined the hormone concentrations and expressions of the EGD-related genes.We also profiled the gut microbiota using 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolites of plasma and liver tissue using untargeted metabolomics.Finally,the correlation analysis and significant test was conducted between FMT-shifted gut microbes and EGD-related indices.Results:Meishan gilts have larger endometrial gland area(P<0.001),longer uterine horn length(P<0.01)but lighter uterine horn weight(P<0.05),a distinctive gut microbiota compared with L×Y gilts.Fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)increased endometrial gland area(P<0.01).FMT markedly shifted the metabolite profiles of both liver and plasma,and these differential metabolites enriched in steroid hormone biosynthesis pathway.FMT increased estradiol and insulin-like growth factor 1 but decreased progesterone dynamically.FMT also increased the expression of the EGD-related genes estrogen receptor 1 gene,epithelial cadherin,and forkhead box protein A2.There is a significant correlation between FMT-shifted gut microbes and EGD-related indices.Conclusion:Sexually matured Meishan gilts achieved a superior EGD than LxY gilts.Meanwhile,gut microbiota contribute to the EGD potentially via regulating of steroid hormones during the ovary-dependent period. | Baoyang Xu Wenxia Qin Yiqin Yan Yimei Tang Shuyi Zhou Juncheng Huang Chunlin Xie Libao Ma Xianghua Yan | 2021 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2021,12,4: | 4 |
| 3 | Association of assisted reproductive technology, germline de novo mutations and congenital heart defects in a prospective birth cohort study显示文摘Emerging evidence suggests that children conceived through assisted reproductive technology(ART)have a higher risk of congenital heart defects(CHDs)even when there is no family history.De novo mutation(DNM)is a well-known cause of sporadic congenital diseases;however,whether ART procedures increase the number of germline DNM(gDNM)has not yet been well studied.Here,we performed whole-genome sequencing of 1137 individuals from 160 families conceived through ART and 205 families conceived spontaneously.Children conceived via ART carried 4.59 more gDNMs than children conceived spontaneously,including 332 paternal and 1.26 maternal DNMs,after correcting for parental age at conception,cigarette smoking,alcohol drinking,and exercise behaviors.Paternal DNMs in offspring conceived via ART are characterized by C>T substitutions at CpG sites,which potentially affect protein-coding genes and are significantly associated with the increased risk of CHD.In addition,the accumulation of non-coding functional mutations was independently associated with CHD and 87.9% of the mutations were originated from the father.Among ART offspring,infertility of the father was associated with elevated paternal DNMs;usage of both recombinant and urinary follicle-stimulating hormone and high-dosage human chorionic gonadotropin trigger was associated with an increase of maternal DNMs.In sum,the increased gDNMs in offspring conceived by ART were primarily originated from fathers,indicating that ART itself may not be a major reason for the accumulation of gDNMs.Our findings emphasize the importance of evaluating the germline status of the fathers in families with the use of ART. | Cheng Wang Hong Lv Xiufeng Ling Hong Li Feiyang Diao Juncheng Dai Jiangbo Du Ting Chen Qi Xi Yang Zhao Kun Zhou Bo Xu Xiumei Han Xiaoyu Liu Meijuan Peng Congcong Chen Shiyao Tao Lei Huang Cong Liu Mingyang Wen Yangqian Jiang Tao Jiang Chuncheng Lu Wei Wu Di Wu Minjian Chen Yuan Lin Xuejiang Guo Ran Huo Jiayin Liu Hongxia Ma Guangfu Jin Yankai Xia Jiahao Sha Hongbing Shen Zhibin Hu | 2021 | Cell Research2021,31,8: | 2 |
| 4 | Structure and Properties of PLA Composite Enhanced with Biomass Fillers from Herbaceous Plants显示文摘PLA composites containing biomass fillers from the three herbaceous plants such as reed,wheat stalk,and coco-nut fiber with length and diameter at the scale of several millimeters were prepared without using additives.The reinforcement effect on the properties of PLA/biomass filler composites is investigated.The research results show that the PLA/biomass filler composites exhibit good stiffness,flexural strength,and impact toughness.Among the three kinds of biomass fillers,reed reinforced PLA composites show optimal mechanical properties.When filled with 40%–50%reed,the flexural moduli of the composites are over 7000 MPa.Flexural strength retains at the same level of pure PLA.The notch impact strength reaches to 4.50±0.73 kJ/m^(2),which is 2.06 times higher than that of pure PLA.Furthermore,the introduction of biomass fillers increases the crystallization ability of PLA and does not increase the water absorption of the composites.This research demonstrated that PLA composites prepared with biomass fillers from the herbaceous plants(namely herb plastic composites,HPCs)is a material with good comprehensive mechanical properties while retaining the intrinsic particularity of biological sources. | Haining Na Juncheng Huang Hongguang Xu Fei Liu Liangke Xie Baoqing Zhu Jiuchen Wang Jin Zhu | 2023 | Journal of Renewable Materials2023,11,2: | 2 |
| 5 | Dietary ellagic acid supplementation attenuates intestinal damage and oxidative stress by regulating gut microbiota in weanling piglets显示文摘Intestinal oxidative stress triggers gut microbiota dysbiosis,which is involved in the etiology of postweaning diarrhea and enteric infections.Ellagic acid(EA)can potentially serve as an antioxidant supplement to facilitate weaning transition by improving intestinal oxidative stress and gut microbiota dysbiosis.Therefore,we aimed to investigate the effects of dietary EA supplementation on the attenuation of intestinal damage,oxidative stress,and dysbiosis of gut microbiota in weanling piglets.A total of126 piglets were randomly assigned into 3 groups and treated with a basal diet and 2 m L saline orally(Ctrl group),or the basal diet supplemented with 0.1%EA and 2 m L saline orally(EA group),or the basal diet and 2 m L fecal microbiota suspension from the EA group orally(FEA group),respectively,for 14 d.Compared with the Ctrl group,EA group improved growth performance by increasing average daily feed intake and average daily weight gain(P<0.05)and decreasing fecal scores(P<0.05).EA group also alleviated intestinal damage by increasing the tight junction protein occludin(P<0.05),villus height,and villus height-to-crypt depth ratio(P<0.05),while decreasing intestinal epithelial apoptosis(P<0.05).Additionally,EA group enhanced the jejunum antioxidant capacity by increasing the total antioxidant capacity(P<0.01),catalase(P<0.05),and glutathione/oxidized glutathione(P<0.05),but decreased the oxidative metabolite malondialdehyde(P<0.05)compared to the Ctrl group.Compared with the Ctrl group,EA and FEA groups increased alpha diversity(P<0.05),enriched beneficial bacteria(Ruminococcaceae and Clostridium ramosum),and increased metabolites short-chain fatty acids(P<0.05).Correspondingly,FEA group gained effects comparable to those of EA group on growth performance,intestinal damage,and intestinal antioxidant capacity.In addition,the relative abundance of bacteria shifted in EA and FEA groups was significantly related to the examined indices(P<0.05).Overall,dietary EA supplementation could improve growth performance and attenuate intestinal damage and oxidative stress by regulating the gut microbiota in weanling piglets. | Wenxia Qin Baoyang Xu Yuwen Chen Wenbo Yang Yunzheng Xu Juncheng Huang Ting Duo Yihua Mao Guozong Zhou Xianghua Yan Libao Ma | 2022 | Animal Nutrition2022,,4: | 2 |
| 6 | Expression of sulfur uptake assimilation-related genes in response to cadmium,bensulfuron-methyl and their co-contamination in rice roots显示文摘The responses of sulfur(S) uptake assimilation-related genes' expression in roots of two rice cultivars to cadmium(Cd), bensulfuron-methyl(BSM) and their co-contamination(Cd+BSM) were investigated by gene-chip microarray analysis and quantitative real-time PCR(QRT-PCR) technology. Treatments of Cd and Cd+BSM induced expression of sulfate transporter and permease genes, and promoted sulfate uptake in rice roots. Cd+BSM could alleviate Cd toxicity to cv. Fengmeizhan seedlings, probably due to Cd+BSM promoting greater S absorption by seedlings. Cd and Cd+BSM induced expression of sulfate assimilation-related genes, and thus activated the sulfur assimilation pathway. Cd and Cd+BSM induced expression of phytochelatin synthase and metallothionein genes, and induced expression of glutathione S-transferases(GSTs), glutathione synthase(GS) and antioxidation enzyme genes, which detoxified Cd2+. It is suggested that(to cope with the toxicity of Cd, BSM and their co-contamination) the S uptake and assimilation pathway was activated in rice roots by increased expression of related genes, thus enhancing the supply of organic S for synthesis of Cd or BSM resistance-related substances. | Jian Zhou Zegang Wang Zhiwei Huang Chao Lu Zhuo Han Jianfeng Zhang Huimin Jiang Cailin Ge Juncheng Yang | 2014 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2014,26,3: | 2 |

| 10 | Identification of A-to-I RNA editing profiles and their clinical relevance in lung adenocarcinoma显示文摘Adenosine-to-inosine(A-to-I)RNA editing is a widespread posttranscriptional modification that has been shown to play an important role in tumorigenesis.Here,we evaluated a total of 19,316 RNA editing sites in the tissues of 80 lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)patients from our Nanjing Lung Cancer Cohort(NJLCC)and 486 LUAD patients from the TCGA database.The global RNA editing level was significantly increased in tumor tissues and was highly heterogeneous across patients.The high RNA editing level in tumors was attributed to both RNA(ADAR1 expression)and DNA alterations(mutation load).Consensus clustering on RNA editing sites revealed a new molecular subtype(EC3)that was associated with the poorest prognosis of LUAD patients.Importantly,the new classification was independent of classic molecular subtypes based on gene expression or DNA methylation.We further proposed a simplified model including eight RNA editing sites to accurately distinguish the EC3 subtype in our patients.The model was further validated in the TCGA dataset and had an area under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.93(95%CI:0.91-0.95).In addition,we found that LUAD cell lines with the EC3 subtype were sensitive to four chemotherapy drugs.These findings highlighted the importance of RNA editing events in the tumorigenesis of LUAD and provided insight into the application of RNA editing in the molecular subtyping and clinical treatment of cancer. | Cheng Wang Mingtao Huang Congcong Chen Yuancheng Li Na Qin Zijian Ma Jingyi Fan Linnan Gong Hui Zeng Liu Yang Xianfeng Xu Jun Zhou Juncheng Dai Guangfu Jin Zhibin Hu Hongxia Ma Fengwei Tan Hongbing Shen | 2022 | Science China(Life Sciences)2022,65,1: | 1 |

| 12 | A novel long-term intravenous combined with local treatment with human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells for a multidisciplinary rescued uremic calciphylaxis patient and the underlying mechanism显示文摘Calciphylaxis is a rare disease characterized histologically by microvessel calcification and microthrombosis,with high mortality and no proven therapy.Here,we reported a severe uremic calciphylaxis patient with progressive skin ischemia,large areas of painful malodorous ulcers,and mummified legs.Because of the worsening symptoms and signs refractory to conventional therapies,treatment with human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells(hAMSCs)was approved.Preclinical release inspections of hAMSCs,efficacy,and safety assessment,including cytokine secretory ability,immunocompetence,tumorigenicity,and genetics analysis in vitro,were introduced.We further performed acute and long-term hAMSC toxicity evaluations in C57BL/6 mice and rats,abnormal immune response tests in C57BL/6 mice,and tumorigenicity tests in neonatal Balbc-nu nude mice.After the preclinical research,the patient was treated with hAMSCs by intravenous and local intramuscular injection and external supernatant application to the ulcers.When followed up to 15 months,the blood-based markers of bone and mineral metabolism improved,with skin soft tissue regeneration and a more favorable profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells.Skin biopsy after 1-month treatment showed vascular regeneration with mature noncalcified vessels within the dermis,and 20 months later,the re-epithelialization restored the integrity of the damaged site.No infusion or local treatment-related adverse events occurred.Thus,this novel long-term intravenous combined with local treatment with hAMSCs warrants further investigation as a potential regenerative treatment for uremic calciphylaxis due to effects of inhibiting vascular calcification,stimulating angiogenesis and myogenesis,anti-inflammatory and immune modulation,multidifferentiation,re-epithelialization,and restoration of integrity. | Lianju Qin Jing Zhang Yujie Xiao Kang Liu Yugui Cui Fangyan Xu Wenkai Ren Yanggang Yuan Chunyan Jiang Song Ning Xiaoxue Ye Ming Zeng Hanyang Qian Anning Bian Fan Li Guang Yang Shaowen Tang Zhihong Zhang Juncheng Dai Jing Guo Qiang Wang Bin Sun Yifei Ge Chun Ouyang Xueqiang Xu Jing Wang Yaoyu Huang Hongqing Cui Jing Zhou Meilian Wang Zhonglan Su Yan Lu Di Wu Jingping Shi Wei Liu Li Dong Yinbing Pan Baiqiao Zhao Ying Cui Xueyan Gao Zhanhui Gao Xiang Ma Aiqin Chen Jie Wang Meng Cao Qian Cui Li Chen Feng Chen Youjia Yu Qiang Ji Zhiwei Zhang Mufeng Gu Xiaojun Zhuang Xiaolin Lv Hui Wang Yanyan Pan Ling Wang Xianrong Xu Jing Zhao Xiuqin Wang Cuiping Liu Ningxia Liang Changying Xing Jiayin Liu Ningning Wang | 2022 | Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2022,14,2: | 1 |
| 13 | Novel vertically aligned nanocomposite of Bi_(2)WO_(6)-Co_(3)O_(4) with room-temperature multiferroic and anisotropic optical response显示文摘A new vertically aligned nanocomposite(VAN)structure based on two-dimensional(2D)layered oxides has been designed and self-assembled on both LaAlO_(3)(001)and SrTiO3(001)substrates.The new VAN structure consists of epitaxially grown Co_(3)O_(4) nanopillars embedded in the Bi_(2)WO_(6) matrix with a unique 2D layered structure,as evidenced by the microstructural analysis.Physical property measurements show that the new Bi_(2)WO_(6)-Co_(3)O_(4) VAN structure exhibits strong ferromagnetic and piezoelectric response at room temperature as well as anisotropic permittivity response.This work demonstrates a new approach in processing multifunctional VANs structure based on the layered oxide systems towards future nonlinear optics,ferromagnets,and multiferroics. | Leigang Li Shikhar Misra Xingyao Gao Juncheng Liu Han Wang Jijie Huang Bruce Zhang Ping Lu Haiyan Wang | 2021 | Nano Research2021,14,12: | 0 |
| 14 | Rice bran oil supplementation protects swine weanlings against diarrhea and lipopolysaccharide challenge显示文摘Early weaned piglets suffer from oxidative stress and enteral infection,which usually results in gut microbial dysbiosis,serve diarrhea,and even death.Rice bran oil(RBO),a polyphenol-enriched by-product of rice processing,has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties both in vivo and in vitro.Here,we ascertained the proper RBO supplementation level,and subsequently determined its effects on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced intestinal dysfunction in weaned piglets.A total of 168 piglets were randomly allocated into four groups of seven replicates(42 piglets each group,(21±1)d of age,body weight(7.60±0.04)kg,and half males and half females)and were given basal diet(Ctrl)or basal diet supplemented with 0.01%(mass fraction)RBO(RBO1),0.02%RBO(RBO2),or 0.03%RBO(RBO3)for 21 d.Then,seven piglets from the Ctrl and the RBO were treated with LPS(100μg/kg body weight(BW))as LPS group and RBO+LPS group,respectively.Meanwhile,seven piglets from the Ctrl were treated with the saline vehicle(Ctrl group).Four hours later,all treated piglets were sacrificed for taking samples of plasma,jejunum tissues,and feces.The results showed that 0.02%was the optimal dose of dietary RBO supplementation based on diarrhea,average daily gain,and average daily feed intake indices in early weaning piglets.Furthermore,RBO protected piglets against LPS-induced jejunal epithelium damage,which was indicated by the increases in villus height,villus height/crypt depth ratio,and Claudin-1 levels,as well as a decreased level of jejunal epithelium apoptosis.RBO also improved the antioxidant ability of LPS-challenged piglets,which was indicated by the elevated concentrations of catalase and superoxide dismutase,and increased total antioxidant capacity,as well as the decreased concentrations of diamine oxidase and malondialdehyde in plasma.Meanwhile,RBO improved the immune function of LPS-challenged weaned piglets,which was indicated by elevated immunoglobulin A(IgA),IgM,β-defensin-1,and lysozyme levels in the plasma.In addition,RBO supplementation improved the LPS challenge-induced dysbiosis of gut microbiota.Particularly,the indices of antioxidant capacity,intestinal damage,and immunity were significantly associated with the RBO-regulated gut microbiota.These findings suggested that 0.02%RBO is a suitable dose to protect against LPS-induced intestinal damage,oxidative stress,and jejunal microbiota dysbiosis in early weaned piglets. | Juncheng HUANG Wenxia QIN Baoyang XU Haihui SUN Fanghua JING Yunzheng XU Jianan ZHAO Yuwen CHEN Libao MA Xianghua YAN | 2023 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2023,24,5: | 0 |
| 15 | High auxin stimulates callus through SDG8-mediated histone H3K36 methylation in Arabidopsis显示文摘Callus induction,which results in fate transition in plant cells,is considered as the first and key step for plant regeneration.This process can be stimulated in different tissues by a callus-inducing medium(CIM),which contains a high concentration of phytohormone auxin.Although a few key regulators for callus induction have been identified,the multiple aspects of the regulatory mechanism driven by high levels of auxin still need further investigation.Here,we find that high auxin induces callus through a H3 K36 histone methylation-dependent mechanism,which requires the methyltransferase SET DOMAIN GROUP 8(SDG8).During callus induction,the increased auxin accumulates SDG8 expression through a TIR1/AFBs-based transcriptional regulation.SDG8 then deposits H3 K36 me3 modifications on the loci of callus-related genes,including a master regulator WOX5 and the cell proliferation-related genes,such as CYCB1.1.This epigenetic regulation in turn is required for the transcriptional activation of these genes during callus formation.These findings suggest that the massive transcriptional reprogramming for cell fate transition by auxin during callus formation requires epigenetic modifications including SDG8-mediated histone H3 K36 methylation.Our results provide insight into the coordination between auxin signaling and epigenetic regulation during fundamental processes in plant development. | Jun Ma Qiang Li Lei Zhang Sen Cai Yuanyuan Liu Juncheng Lin Rongfeng Huang Yongqiang Yu Mingzhang Wen Tongda Xu | 2022 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2022,64,12: | 0 |
| 16 | Multi‑omics analysis reveals gut microbiota‑ovary axis contributed to the follicular development difference between Meishan and Landrace×Yorkshire sows显示文摘Background The mechanism by which Meishan(MS)sows are superior to white crossbred sows in ovarian follicle development remains unclear.Given gut microbiota could regulate female ovarian function and reproductive capacity,this study aimed to determine the role of gut microbiota-ovary axis on follicular development in sows.Methods We compared the ovarian follicular development,gut microbiota,plasma metabolome,and follicular fluid metabolome between MS and Landrace×Yorkshire(L×Y)sows.A H_(2)O_(2)-induced cell apoptosis model was used to evaluate the effects of multi-omics identified metabolites on the apoptosis of porcine ovarian granulosa cells in vitro.Results Compared with L×Y sows,MS sows have greater ovary weight and improved follicular development,including the greater counts of large follicles of diameter≥5 mm,secondary follicles,and antral follicles,but lesser atretic follicles.The ovarian granulosa cells in MS sows had alleviated apoptosis,which was indicated by the increased BCL-2,decreased caspases-3,and decreased cleaved caspases-3 than in L×Y sows.The ovarian follicular fluid of MS sows had higher concentrations of estradiol,progesterone,follicle-stimulating hormone,luteinizing hormone,and insulin like growth factor 1 than L×Y sows.Gut microbiota of MS sows formed a distinct cluster and had improved alpha diversity,including increased Shannon and decreased Simpson than those of L×Y sows.Corresponding to the enhanced function of carbohydrate metabolism and elevated short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs)in feces,the differential metabolites in plasma between MS and L×Y sows are also mainly enriched in pathways of fatty acid metabolism.There were significant correlations among SCFAs with follicular development,ovarian granulosa cells apoptosis,and follicular fluid hormones,respectively.Noteworthily,compared with L×Y sows,MS sows had higher follicular fluid SCFAs concentrations which could ameliorate H_(2)O_(2)-induced porcine granulosa cells apoptosis in vitro.Conclusion MS sows have more secondary and antral follicles,but fewer atretic follicles and apoptotic ovarian granulosa cells,as well as harbored a distinctive gut microbiota than L×Y sows.Gut microbiota may participate in regulating ovarian follicular development via SCFAs affecting granulosa cells apoptosis in sows. | Baoyang Xu Wenxia Qin Yuwen Chen Yimei Tang Shuyi Zhou Juncheng Huang Libao Ma Xianghua Yan | 2023 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2023,14,5: | 0 |
