The majority of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) contain transposable elements (TEs). PAHAL, a nuclear-retained lncRNA that is inserted by a Gypsy retrotransposon, has been shown to be a vital regulator of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene expression that controls dopamine biosynthesis and behavioural aggregation in the migratory locust. However, the role of the Gypsy retrotransposon in the transcriptional regulation of PAHAL remains unknown. Here, we identified a Gypsy retrotransposon (named Gypsy element) as an inverted long...

Tire wear particles (TWP) have caused widespread contamination in the environment. However, their behavior and potential impacts in soil remain unclear since studies have so far been mainly conducted in aquatic ecosystems. It is possible that soil ecosystems are already under pressure from pollution by TWP. We here firstly synthesize knowledge about the composition, distribution, and behavior of TWP in soils. By comparing with effects of microplastics (MP) in soil, we further outline several potential...

Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition has the potential to change the leaf water-use strategy in the subtropical region of China. Nevertheless, the whole-tree level response crucial for ecosystem functions has not been well addressed over the past decades. In this study, the stem sap flux density (JS) was monitored for the whole-tree water transport capacity in two dominant species (Schima superba and Castanopsis chinensis) in a subtropical forest. To simulate the increased nitrogen deposition, the NH4NO3 solutions...

This study investigated uptake of two organic compounds including hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and exogenous caffeine by tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), corn (Zea mays L.), and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The plants were grown in a growth chamber under recommended conditions and then were exposed to these compounds for 19 days. The uptake of the compounds was measured by sap concentration factor. The plant samples (stem transpiration stream) and solution in the exposure media were taken and...

ABSTRACT Introduction Although Chinese soccer has experienced many updates in its methods, there is still a large gap in players’ physical endurance compared to the world powers. Therefore, strengthening soccer players’ physical endurance through specific training methods is important in optimizing current performance. Objective Study the application of functional training in soccer players’ physical conditioning. Methods 20 junior soccer physical education student-athletes in colleges and universities were selected as the research object. The global functional...

Adipogenesis involves complex interactions between transcription and metabolic signalling. Exploration of the developmental characteristics of intramuscular adipocyte will provide targets for enhancing beef cattle marbling without increasing obesity. Few reports have compared bovine perirenal and intramuscular adipocyte transcriptomes using the combined analysis of transcriptomes and lipid metabolism to explore differences in adipogenic characteristics. We identified perirenal preadipocytes (PRA) and intramuscular preadipocytes (IMA) in Qinchuan cattle. We found that IMA were highly prolific in the early...

Interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) of both rabbits and humans exhibits a similar whitening phenomenon under physiological conditions. However, a detailed characterization of iBAT whitening in them is still lacking. Here, we chose rabbits as a model to gain a better understanding of the molecular signature changes during the whitening process of iBAT by transcriptomic analysis of rabbit iBAT at day 1, day 14, 1 month and 4 months after birth. We applied non-invasive MRI...

In the Yangjiang profile, a total of 29 (27 groundwater samples and 2 surface water samples: seawater and aquaculture wastewater) and 32 (29 groundwater samples and 2 surface water samples: seawater and aquaculture wastewater) samples were collected on August 12, 2020 (wet season) and November 8, 2020 (dry season), respectively. The measurement procedures for the trace metals (As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) in groundwater samples were described elsewhere (Luo et al.,...

Drought has historically represented the greatest abiotic stress to adversely affect the stability of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) yields in non-irrigated field conditions. To investigate the genetic basis underlying drought tolerance in soybean, we screened the seed yield per plant (YP) in a natural diversity panel of 149 accessions under both water deficit (drought-stressed; YP-S) and well-watered (full irrigation; YP-W) conditions in field and greenhouse trials and calculated a drought susceptibility index (DSI) based...

Periplocymarin (PPM), a cardiac glycoside isolated from Cortex periplocae, has a strong anti-tumor effect against various cancer cells. However, cardiotoxicity and rapid metabolism hinder its clinical applications. In this study, small molecule prodrug was integrated into PEGylated liposome to improve the efficiency of periplocymarin in vivo. The periplocymarin-linoleic acid (PL) prodrug was constructed by conjugating the linoleic acid with PPM via esterification, which was further facilitated to form PEGylated liposome (PL-Lip) through film dispersion. Compared...

PCGEM1 facilitates prostate cancer (PCa) progression. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of action of PCGEM1 in PCa. The expression of PCGEM1, microRNA miR-129-5p, chromatin licensing, and DNA replication factor 1 (CDT1) was detected by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR). A series of function experiments including cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), caspase-3 activity, and cell cycle assays were performed to evaluate the influence of PCGEM1, miR-129-5p, and CDT1 on the biological processes of PCa cells. CyclinD1,...
