| 1 | The ionome and proteome landscape of aging in laying hens and relation to egg white quality显示文摘The ionome is essential for maintaining body function and health status by participating in diverse key biological processes.Nevertheless, the distribution and utilization of ionome among different organs and how aging impacts the ionome leading to a decline in egg white quality remain unknown. Thus, we used inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) to analyze 35 elements and their isotopic contents in eight organs of laying hens at 35, 72, and 100 weeks. Moreover, the magnum proteome, amino acids in egg white, and egg white quality were analyzed in laying hens at three different ages using 4D proteomics techniques, an amino acid analyzer, and an egg quality analyzer. Across the organs, we identified varying distribution patterns among macroelements(Mg24, Ca43/44, K39, and P31), transition metals(Zn64/66, Cu63/65, Fe56/57, and Mn55), and toxic elements(Pb208, Ba137, and Sr86). We observed an organ-specific aging pattern characterized by the accumulation of toxic elements(Pb208, Ba137, and Sr86) and calcification in the small intestine. Additionally, a decrease in the utilization of essential trace elements selenium(Se78/82) and manganese(Mn55) was noted in the oviduct. By analyzing ionome in tandem with egg quality, egg white amino acids, and proteome, we unveiled that the reduction of selenium and manganese concentrations in the magnum during the aging process affected amino acid metabolism, particularly tryptophan metabolism, thereby inhibiting the amino acid synthesis in the magnum. Furthermore, it accelerated the senescence of magnum cells through necroptosis activation, leading to a decline in the albumen secretion function of the magnum and subsequently reducing egg white quality.Overall, this study provides insights into the evolution of 35 elements and their isotopes across 8 organs of laying hens with age.It also reveals the elemental composition, interactions, and utilization patterns of these organs, as well as their correlation with egg white quality. The present study highlights the significance of ionome and offers a comprehensive perspective on the selection of ionome for regulating the aging of laying hens. | Guang Li Yuqing Feng Jian Cui Qihang Hou Tanfang Li Meiting Jia Zhengtian lv Qiuyu Jiang Ying Wang Ming Zhang Lin Wang Zengpeng Lv Junyou Li Yuming Guo Bingkun Zhang | 2023 | Science China(Life Sciences)2023,66,9: | 0 |
| 2 | Comparison of point detection and area detection for point-scanning structured illumination microscopy显示文摘Structured illumination microscopy(SIM)is suitable for biological samples because of its relatively low-peak illumination intensity requirement and high imaging speed.The system resolution is affected by two typical detection modes:Point detection and area detection.However,a systematic analysis of the imaging performance of the different detection modes of the system has rarely been conducted.In this study,we compared laser point scanning point detection(PS-PD)and point scanning area detection(PS-AD)imaging in nonconfocal microscopy through theoretical analysis and simulated imaging.The results revealed that the imaging resolutions of PSPD and PS-AD depend on excitation and emission point spread functions(PSFs),respectively.Especially,we combined the second harmonic generation(SHG)of point detection(P-SHG)and area detection(A-SHG)with SIM to realize a nonlinear SIM-imaging technique that improves the imaging resolution.Moreover,we analytically and experimentally compared the nonlinear SIM performance of P-SHG with that of A-SHG. | Wenshuai Wu Jiajie Chen Meiting Wang Lei Wang Xiaomin Zheng Jia Li Junle Qu Bruce Zhi Gao Yonghong Shao | 2023 | Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences2023,16,4: | 0 |
| 3 | Application of VIGS system to explore the function of common wheat TaADF7显示文摘As an allohexaploid plant,common wheat has a complex gene structure,making it difficult to study its gene function.Virus-induced gene silencing(VIGS)is an important tool for the rapid analysis of plant gene function.In this study,the gene silencing system,namely,barley stripe mosaic virus(BSMV)-VIGS induced by BSMV was used to silence the wheat phytoene desaturase(TaPDS)and actin depolymerization factor(TaADF7)genes and determine the effect of gene silencing on wheat.TaPDS was used as an indicator gene to determine the feasibility of VIGS system,while TaADF7 was used as a test gene to determine its effect on wheat growth.Results showed that the leaves of tobacco and wheat were bleached by the mixture of pCaBS-α,pCaBS-β,and pCaBS-γ::TaPDS,indicating that the TaPDS gene was silenced,and the bleached leaves had physiological activity as determined by trypan blue staining.Therefore,the VIGS system was efficient and available.After the tobacco was treated with pCaBS-α,pCaBS-β,and pCaBS-γ::TaADF7,the viral suspension was obtained.The expression of TaADF7 gene was downregulated after wheat leaves were infected by friction,indicating that the expression of TaADF7 was silenced.Laser confocal scanning microscopy showed that the silencing of TaADF7 enhanced the fluorescence of microfilament skeleton in mesophyll protoplasts and significantly reduced the plant height.Results showed that TaADF7 affected cell division and plant growth by inhibiting microfilament depolymerization.In conclusion,the BSMV-VIGS system was used to silence wheat TaPDS and TaADF7 genes.Bleaching phenomenon was observed in wheat leaves after TaPDS silencing.After TaADF7 silencing,microfilaments in wheat mesophyll cells gathered into coarse bundles,which affected the dynamics of microfilaments and inhibited plant growth. | HUIZE CHEN XINGTIAN JIA HAIYAN RAN JINGRONG NIU MEITING DU | 2022 | BIOCELL2022,46,2: | 0 |
