| 4 | GSDMB promotes non-canonical pyroptosis by enhancing caspase-4 activity显示文摘Gasdermin B (GSDMB) has been reported to be associated with immune diseases in humans, but the detailed molecular mechanisms remain unsolved. The N-terminus of GSDMB by itself, unlike other gasdermin family proteins, does not induce cell death. Here, we show that GSDMB is highly expressed in the leukocytes of septic shock patients, which is associated with increased release of the gasdermin D (GSDMD) N-terminus. GSDMB expression and the accumulation of the N-terminal fragment of GSDMD are induced by the activation of the non-canonical pyroptosis pathway in a human monocyte cell line. The downregulation of GSDMB alleviates the cleavage of GSDMD and cell death. Consistently, the overexpression of GSDMB promotes GSDMD cleavage, accompanied by increased LDH release. We further found that GSDMB promotes caspase-4 activity, which is required for the cleavage of GSDMD in non-canonical pyroptosis, by directly binding to the CARD domain of caspase-4. Our study reveals a GSDMB-mediated novel regulatory mechanism for non-canonical pyroptosis and suggests a potential new strategy for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. | Qin Chen Peiliang Shi Yufang Wang Dayuan Zou Xiuwen Wu Dingyu Wang Qiongyuan Hu Yujie Zou Zan Huang Jianan Ren Zhaoyu Lin Xiang Gao | 2019 | Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2019,11,6: | 22 |
| 5 | Mitochondrial ROS promote macrophage pyroptosis by inducing GSDMD oxidation显示文摘Disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation are often associated with macrophage pyroptosis. It remains unclear how these forms of mitochondrial dysfunction relate to inflammasome activation and gasdermin-D (Gsdmd) cleavage, two central steps of the pyroptotic process. Here, we also found MMP collapse and ROS generation induced by Nlrp3 inflammasome activation as previous studies reported. The elimination of ROS alleviated the cleavage of Gsdmd, suggesting that Gsdmd cleavage occurs downstream of ROS release. Consistent with this result, hydrogen peroxide treatment augmented the cleavage of Gsdmd by caspase-1. Indeed, four amino acid residues of Gsdmd were oxidized under oxidative stress in macrophages. The efficiency of Gsdmd cleavage by inflammatory caspase-1 was dramatically reduced when oxidative modification was blocked by mutation of these amino acid residues. These results demonstrate that Gsdmd oxidation serves as a de novo mechanism by which mitochondrial ROS promote Nlrp3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptotic cell death. | Yufang Wang Peiliang Shi Qin Chen Zan Huang Dayuan Zou Jingzi Zhang Xiang Gao Zhaoyu Lin | 2019 | Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2019,11,12: | 23 |
| 6 | Upreguiation of human telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA expression by in vitro transfection of hepatitis B virus X gene into human hepatocarcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma cells显示文摘AIM: To study the changes of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA expression in human hepatocarcinoma cell lines (HepG2) and cholangiocarcinoma cell lines (QBC939) after HBx gene transfection and to illustrate the significance of transcriptional regulation of hTERT gene by HBx gene in the carcinogenesis.METHODS: HepG2 and QBC939 cell lines were cultured and co-transfected with eukaryotic expression vector containing the HBx coding region and cloning vector containing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) coding sequence using lipid-mediated gene transduction technique. Thirty-six hours after transfection, EGFP expression in cells was used as the indicator of successful transfection. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the transfection efficiency.Cells were harvested and total RNA was extracted using TRIzol() reagent. The expression of hTERT mRNA in HepG2and QBC939 cell lines was assayed by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction. The expression of HBx protein in both cell lines was detected by immunocytochemical staining and Western blotting.RESULTS: Flow cytometry showed that the transfection efficiency was 46.4% in HepG2 cells and 29.6% in QBC939cells for both HBx gene expression vector and blank vector. The expression of hTERT mRNA was meaningfully increased in HepG2 and QBC939 cell lines when transfected with HBx gene expression vector compared to those transfected with OPTI-MEM medium and blank vector.Immunocytochemical staining and Western blotting revealed HBx protein expression in HepG2 and QBC939cells only when transfected with HBx gene.CONCLUSION: HBx gene transfection can upregulate the transcriptional expression of hTERT mRNA. The transactivation of hTERT gene by HBx gene is a newfound mechanism for pathogenesis of hepatocarcinomas and cholangiocarcinomas after HBV infection. | Zhen-Liang Qu Sheng-Quan Zou Nai-Qiang Cui Xian-Zhong Wu Ming-Fang Qin Di Kong Zhen-Li Zhou | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,36: | 21 |
| 7 | Human urokinase-type plasminogen activator gene-modifiedbone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells attenuateliver fibrosis in rats by down-regulating the Wnt signalingpathway显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) with human urokinase-type plasminogen activator(u PA) on liver fibrosis, and to investigate the mechanism of gene therapy.METHODS: BMSCs transfected with adenovirusmediated human urokinase plasminogen activator(Adu PA) were transplanted into rats with CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. All rats were sacrificed after 8 wk, and their serum and liver tissue were collected for biochemical, histopathologic, and molecular analyzes. The degree of liver fibrosis was assessed by hematoxylin and eosin or Masson's staining. Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction were used to determine protein and m RNA expression levels.RESULTS: Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, aminotransferase, total bilirubin, hyaluronic acid, laminin, and procollagen type Ⅲ were markedly decreased, whereas the levels of serum albumin were increased by u PA gene modified BMSCs treatment. Histopathology revealed that chronic CCl4-treatment resulted in significant fibrosis while u PA gene modified BMSCs treatment significantly reversed fibrosis. By quantitatively analysing the fibrosis area of liver tissue using Masson staining in different groups of animals, we found that model animals with CCl4-induced liver fibrosis had the largest fibrotic area(16.69% ± 1.30%), while fibrotic area was significantly decreased by BMSCs treatment(12.38% ± 2.27%) and was further reduced by u PA-BMSCs treatment(8.31% ± 1.21%). Both protein and m RNA expression of β-catenin, Wnt4 and Wnt5 a was down-regulated in liver tissues following u PA gene modified BMSCs treatment when compared with the model animals.CONCLUSION: Transplantation of u PA gene modified BMSCs suppressed liver fibrosis and ameliorated liver function and may be a new approach to treating liver fibrosis. Furthermore, treatment with u PA gene modified BMSCs also resulted in a decrease in expression of molecules of the Wnt signaling pathway. | Zhi-Gang Ma Xiao-Dan Lv Ling-Ling Zhan Lan Chen Qi-Yuan Zou Ji-Qiao Xiang Jiao-Li Qin Wei-Wei Zhang Zhao-Jing Zeng Hui Jin Hai-Xing Jiang Xiao-Ping Lv | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,6: | 21 |
| 8 | Histological Subtypes of Lung Cancer in Chinese Males from 2000 to 2012显示文摘Objective To characterize the histological and epidemiological features of male lung cancer patients in China. Methods The demographic and histological information about male lung cancer patients identified from 2000-01-01 to 2012-12-31,was collected from the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Relative frequencies(RF) were estimated for major histological subtypes and compared according to the years of diagnosis and birth. Results The RF of adenocarcinoma(ADC) increased from 21.96% to 43.36% and the RF of squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) decreased from 39.11% to 32.23% from 2000 to 2012 in the 15 427 male lung cancer patients included in this study(Z=17.909,P<0.0001; Z=-6.117,P<0.0001). The RF of ADC increased from 28.72% in 2000-2004,36.88% in 2005-2008 to 48.61% in 2009-2012 in patients born after 1960. The age-adjusted RF of ADC in 2007-2012 increased consistently in all the investigated areas. Conclusion The increased RF of ADC in male lung cancer patients highlights the need for further investigation of the etiologic factors of these tumors. Smoke-free policies rather than modifying tobacco products should be enforced. | ZOU Xiao Nong LIN Dong Mei WAN Xia CHAO Ann FENG Qin Fu DAI Zhen YANG Gong Huan LV Ning | 2014 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2014,27,1: | 19 |

| 11 | Clinical significance of changes in the Th17/Treg ratio in autoimmune liver disease显示文摘AIM To investigate the levels, ratios, and clinical significance of T helper 17(Th17) cells and regulatory T(Treg) cells in the peripheral blood of patients with autoimmune liver disease(AILD). METHODS F o r t y-t w o A I L D p a t i e n t s w e r e i n c l u d e d i n t h e experimental group(group E), and 11 healthy subjects were recruited as the control group(group C). Flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentages of Th17 and Treg cells in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Furthermore, a range of biochemical indices was measured simultaneously in the blood of group E patients. RESULTS The percentage of Th17 cells and the Th17/Treg ratio were higher in group E than in group C(P < 0.01), whereas the percentage of Tregs was lower in the group E patients(P < 0.05). Patients in group E who were admitted with AILD in the active stage showed significantly higher Th17 percentages and Th17/Treg ratios than those measured in patients with AILD in remission(P < 0.05). In addition, among patients with AILD in the active stage, individuals that remained unhealed after hospitalization showed significantly higher baseline values of the Th17 percentage and the Th17/Treg ratio than those detected in patients who improved after treatment(P < 0.05). The results suggested that imbalance in the Th17/Treg ratio plays an important role in the pathogenesis and development of AILD.CONCLUSION A high Th17/Treg ratio appears to predict poor shortterm prognosis in patients with AILD in the active stage. | Ting-Ting Feng Ting Zou Xin Wang Wei-Feng Zhao Ai-Lan Qin | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,21: | 15 |

| 14 | Genetic variation of yellow pigment and its components in foxtail millet(Setaria italica(L.) P.Beauv.) from different eco-regions in China显示文摘Kernel color is an important trait for assessing the commercial and nutritional quality of foxtail millet.Yellow pigment content(YPC)and carotenoid components(lutein and zeaxanthin)of 270 foxtail millet accessions,including 50 landraces and 220improved cultivars,from four different eco-regions in China were surveyed using spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography methods.Results indicated that YPC had rich variance,ranging from 1.91 to 28.54 mg kg^(–1),with an average value of 17.80 mg kg^(–1).The average YPC of improved cultivars(18.31 mg kg^(–1))was significantly higher than that of landraces(15.51 mg kg^(–1)).The YPC in cultivars from the Loess Plateau spring sowing region(LPSSR)was the highest(20.59 mg kg^(–1)),followed by the North China summer sowing region(NCSSR,18.25 mg kg^(–1)),the northeast spring sowing region(NSSR,17.25 mg kg^(–1)),and the Inner Mongolia Plateau spring sowing region(IMPSSR,13.92 mg kg^(–1)).The variation coefficients of YPC in cultivars from NSSR,LPSSR,and IMPSSR were higher than that from NCSSR.A similar carotenoid profile was also obtained for 270 foxtail millet cultivars.Lutein and zeaxanthin accounted for approximately 55–65%of YPC in accessions.The lutein content was higher than zeaxanthin content in all cultivars.The ratio of lutein to zeaxanthin ranged from 1.51 to 6.06 with an average of 3.34.YPC was positively correlated with lutein(r=0.935,P<0.01),zeaxanthin(r=0.808,P<0.01),and growth duration(r=0.488,P<0.01),whereas it was negatively correlated with grain protein(r=-0.332,P<0.01)and 1 000-kernel weight(r=-0.153,P<0.05).Our study is useful for screening and selecting cultivars with high levels of yellow pigment and for enhancing phytochemical concentrations in breeding programs. | YANG Yan-bing JIA Guan-qing DENG Li-gang QIN Ling CHEN Er-ying CONG Xin-jun ZOU Ren-feng WANG Hai-lian ZHANG Hua-wen LIU Bin GUAN Yan-an DIAO Xian-min YIN Yan-ping | 2017 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2017,16,11: | 15 |
| 15 | Mogroside V inhibits LPS-induced COX-2 expression/ROS production and overexpression of HO-1 by blocking phosphorylation of AKT1 in RAW264.7 cells显示文摘Momordica grosvenori is a valuable edible plant with medicinal purposes, and it is widely used in medicated diets and traditional Chinese medicine in Asia. Mogroside V (MV), the main bioactive component from M. grosvenori, is comm only used as a natural sweetener. M. grosvenori extracts have been reported to exert potent anti-inflammatory property, however the underlying molecular mechanism still remains unknown. In the present study, the biological effect of MV in inflammation was investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. The ELISA and western blot analysis results showed that MV significantly inhibited LPS-induced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression. MV markedly decreased the phosphorylation of IxB-a, increased IkB-oc, and reduced nuclear p-65 and C/EBP6. Furthermore, MV attenuated LPS-induced phosphorylation of MAPKs and AKT1, and only the phosphorylation status of AKT1 was found to be consistent with the expression trend of COX-2. Moreover, MV reduced ROS level and restored overexpressed HO-1 and AP-1 to basal level, which can be markedly reversed by AKT1 inhibitor LY294002. These results revealed that AKT1 plays a key role in LPS-induced COX-2 expression, and acts as a mediator to keep the redox balance in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. MV exerts anti-inflammatory property by blocking AKT1-mediated NF-kB and C/EBP6 activation, ROS generation and AP-1/ HO-1 expression. Therefore, the present study indicated that MV has a significant chemopreventive effect on the inflammatory lesions and suggested that AKT1 is a potential specific target of MV for relieving inflammation. | Yong Li Luyan Zou Tao Li Dengni Lai Yanyang Wu Si Qin | 2019 | Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica2019,51,4: | 14 |
| 16 | Effect of Nitrogen Regimes on Grain Yield,Nitrogen Utilization,Radiation Use Efficiency,and Sheath Blight Disease Intensity in Super Hybrid Rice显示文摘Poor nitrogen use efficiency in rice production is a critical issue in China. Site-specific N managements (SSNM) such as real-time N management (RTNM) and fixed-time adjustable-dose N management (FTNM) improve fertilizer-N use efficiency of irrigated rice. This study was aimed to compare the different nitrogen (N) rates and application methods (FFP, SSNM, and RTNM methods) under with- and without-fungicide application conditions on grain yield, yield components, solar radiation use efficiency (RUE), agronomic-nitrogen use efficiency (AEN), and sheath blight disease intensity. Field experiments were carried out at Liuyang County, Hunan Province, China, during 2006 and 2007. A super hybrid rice Liangyou 293 (LY293) was used as experimental material. The results showed that RTNM and SSNM have great potential for improving agronomic-nitrogen use efficiency without sacrificing the grain yield. There were significant differences in light interception rate, sheath blight disease incidence (DI) and the disease index (ShBI), and total dry matter among the different nitrogen management methods. The radiation use efficiency was increased in a certain level of applied N. But, the harvest index (HI) decreased with the increase in applied N. There is a quadratic curve relationship between grain yield and applied N rates. With the same N fertilizer rate, different fertilizer-N application methods affected the RUE and grain yield. The fungicide application not only improved the canopy light interception rate, RUE, grain filling, and harvest index, but also reduced the degree of sheath blight disease. The treatment of RTNM under the SPAD threshold value 40 obtained the highest yield. While the treatment of SSNM led to the highest nitrogen agronomic efficiency and higher rice yield, and decreased the infestation of sheath blight disease dramatically as well. Nitrogen application regimes and diseases control in rice caused obvious effects on light interception rate, RUE, and HI. Optimal N rate is helpful to get higher light interception rate, RUE, and HI. Disease control with fungicide application decreased and delayed the negative effects of the high N on rice yield formation. SSNM and RTNM under the proper SPAD threshold value obtained high-yield with high efficiency and could alleviate environmental pollution in rice production. | LI Di-qin TANG Qi-yuan ZHANG Yun-bo QIN Jian-quan LI Hu CHEN Li-jun YANG Sheng-hai ZOU Ying-bin PENG Shao-bing | 2012 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2012,11,1: | 13 |
| 17 | Artesunate attenuates LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis by suppressing TLR4/TRAF6 and PLCγ1-Ca^(2+)-NFATc1 signaling pathway显示文摘In chronic infectious diseases caused by gram-negative bacteria,such as osteomyelitis,septic arthritis,and periodontitis,osteoclastic activity is enhanced with elevated inflammation,which disturbs the bone homeostasis and results in osteolysis.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS),as a bacteria product,plays an important role in this process.Recent evidence shows that an antimalarial drug artesunate attenuates LPS-induced osteolysis independent of RANKL.In this study we evaluated the effects of artesunate on LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro and femur osteolysis in vivo,and explored the mechanisms underlying the effects of artesunate on LPS-induced osteoclast differentiation independent of RANKL.In preosteoclastic RAW264.7 cells,we found that artesunate(1.56?12.5μM)dose dependently inhibited LPS-induced osteoclast formation accompanied by suppressing LPS-stimulated osteoclast-related gene expression(Fra-2,TRAP,Cathepsin K,β3-integrin,DC-STAMP,and Atp6v0d2).We showed that artesunate(3.125?12.5μM)inhibited LPS-stimulated nuclear factor of activated T cells c1(NFATc1)but not NF-κB transcriptional activity;artesunate(6.25,12.5μM)significantly inhibited LPS-stimulated NFATc1 protein expression.Furthermore,artesunate treatment markedly suppressed LPS-induced Ca2+influx,and decreased the expression of PP2B-Aα(calcineurin)and pPLCγ1 in the cells.In addition,artesunate treatment significantly decreased the expression of upstream signals TLR4 and TRAF6 during LPS-induced osteoclastogenesis.Administration of artesunate(10 mg/kg,ip)for 8 days effectively inhibited serum TNF-αlevels and ameliorated LPS(5 mg/kg,ip)-induced inflammatory bone loss in vivo.Taken together,artesunate attenuates LPS-induced inflammatory osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting the expression of TLR4/TRAF6 and the downstream PLCγ1-Ca^2+-NFATc1 signaling pathway.Artesunate is a valuable choice to treat bone loss induced by gram-negative bacteria infection or inflammation in RANKL-independent pathway. | Xiang-zhou Zeng Yue-yang Zhang Qin Yang Song Wang Bin-hua Zou Yan-hui Tan Min Zou Shu-wen Liu Xiao-juan Li | 2020 | Acta Pharmacologica Sinica2020,41,2: | 12 |
| 18 | A Novel RT-LAMP Assay for Rapid and Simple Detection of Classical Swine Fever Virus显示文摘A simple and rapid assay for the detection of Classical swine fever virus(CSFV)was established using reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification(RT-LAMP).This study describes the amplification of the genomic RNA of CSFV under isothermal conditions(63℃)within one hour,using a set of six primers(two outer primers,two inner primers and two loop primers).This RT-LAMP assay showed 100-fold higher sensitivity than the standard RT-PCR method and identified eighteen additional positive cases that were negative when tested by RT-PCR.This RT-LAMP was able to detect all the 13 strains of CSFV but not the BVDV.PRRSV.SIV. PRV-PCV,thus showed a good specificity.Products amplified by RT-LAMP can be visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis and in addition,either as a white precipitate at the bottom of the tube after a pulse spin or as a color change when dyed with SYBR Green I which are visible to the naked eye.Because RT-LAMP is low-cost and produces rapid results,it has the potential to be an excellent tool for CSFV surveillance in the field,especially in developing countries. | Lei CHEN Xue-zheng FAN Qin WANG Lu XU Qi-zu ZHAO Yuan-chen ZHOU Jun LIU Bo TANG Xing-qi ZOU | 2010 | Virologica Sinica2010,25,1: | 12 |
| 19 | Solution structure of the RNA recognition domain of METTL3-METTL14 N^6-methyladenosine methyltransferase显示文摘N^6-methyladenosine(m6A),a ubiquitous RNA modification,is installed by METTL3-METTL14 complex.The structure of the heterodimeric complex between the methyltransferase domains(MTDs)of METTL3 and METTL14 has been previously determined.However,the MTDs alone possess no enzymatic activity.Here we present the solution structure for the zinc finger domain(ZFD)of METTL3,the inclusion of which fulfills the methyltransferase activity of METTL3-METTL14.We show that the ZFD specifically binds to an RNA containing 5'-GGACU-3'consensus sequence,but does not to one without.The ZFD thus serves as the target recognition domain,a structural feature previously shown for DNA methyltransferases,and cooperates with the MTDs of METTL3-METTL14 for catalysis.However,the interaction between the ZFD and the specific RNA is extremely weak,with the binding affinity at several hundred micromolar under physiological conditions.The ZFD contains two CCCH-type zinc fingers connected by an anti-parallel P-sheet.Mutational analysis and NMR titrations have mapped the functional interface to a contiguous surface.As a division of labor,the RNA-binding interface comprises basic residues from zinc finger 1 and hydrophobic residues fromβ-sheet and zinc finger 2.Further we show that the linker between the ZFD and MTD of METTL3 is flexible but partially folded,which may permit the cooperation between the two domains during catalysis.Together,the structural characterization of METTL3 ZFD paves the way to elucidate the atomic details of the entire process of RNA m6A modification. | Jinbo Huang Xu Dong Zhou Gong Ling-Yun Qin Shuai Yang Yue-Ling Zhu Xiang Wang Delin Zhang Tingting Zou Ping Yin Chun Tang | 2019 | Protein & Cell2019,10,4: | 11 |
| 20 | Dietary seaweed-derived polysaccharides improve growth performance of weaned pigs through maintaining intestinal barrier function and modulating gut microbial populations显示文摘Background:Seaweed-derived polysaccharides(SDP)represent an attractive source of prebiotic nutraceuticals for the food and animal husbandry industry.However,the mechanism by which SDP from Enteromorpha mediates pig growth are not fully understood.This study aimed to investigate how SDP supplementation influences the growth performance and intestinal health in weaned pigs.Results:In Exp.1,240 weaned pigs were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments and fed with a basal diet or a basal diet containing 200,400 or 800 mg/kg SDP,respectively,in a 21-day trial.Pigs on the 400 or 800 mg/kg SDP-supplemented group had greater ADG and lower F/G ratio than those on the control group(P<0.05).In Exp.2,20 male weaned pigs were randomly assigned to two treatments and fed with a basal diet(CON group)or a basal diet supplemented with 400 mg/kg SDP(the optimum does from Exp.1),in a 21-day trial.Pigs fed the SDP diet had greater ADG,the concentrations of serum IL-6 and TNF-αand the activities of glutathione peroxidase,superoxide dismutase and catalase(P<0.05),and lower F/G,diarrhea rate,as well as serum D-lactate concentrations and diamine oxidase activity(P<0.05).Moreover,dietary SDP supplementation enhanced secretory immunoglobulin A content,villus height and villous height:crypt depth ratio in small intestine,as well as the lactase and maltase activities in jejunum mucosa(P<0.05).SDP supplementation elevated the mRNA levels of inflammatory responserelated genes(IL-6,TNF-α,TLR4,TLR6 and MyD88),and the mRNA and protein levels of ZO-1,claudin-1 and occludin in jejunum mucosa(P<0.05).Importantly,SDP not only increased the Lactobacillus population but also reduced the Escherichia coli population in cecum(P<0.05).Furthermore,SDP increased acetic acid and butyric acid concentrations in cecum(P<0.05).Conclusions:These results not only suggest a beneficial effect of SDP on growth performance and intestinal barrier functions,but also offer potential mechanisms behind SDP-facilitated intestinal health in weaned pigs. | Tiande Zou Jin Yang Xiaobo Guo Qin He Zirui Wang Jinming You | 2021 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2021,12,3: | 10 |
