| 1 | Four-Octyl itaconate ameliorates periodontal destruction via Nrf2-dependent antioxidant system显示文摘Periodontitis is a widespread oral disease characterized by continuous inflammation of the periodontal tissue and an irreversible alveolar bone loss, which eventually leads to tooth loss. Four-octyl itaconate(4-OI) is a cell-permeable itaconate derivative and has been recognized as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Here, we explored, for the first time,the protective effect of 4-OI on inhibiting periodontal destruction, ameliorating local inflammation, and the underlying mechanism in periodontitis. Here we showed that 4-OI treatment ameliorates inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide in the periodontal microenvironment. 4-OI can also significantly alleviate inflammation and alveolar bone loss via Nrf2 activation as observed on samples from experimental periodontitis in the C57BL/6 mice. This was further confirmed as silencing Nrf2 blocked the antioxidant effect of 4-OI by downregulating the expression of downstream antioxidant enzymes. Additionally, molecular docking simulation indicated the possible mechanism under Nrf2 activation. Also, in Nrf2-/-mice, 4-OI treatment did not protect against alveolar bone dysfunction due to induced periodontitis, which underlined the importance of the Nrf2 in 4-OI mediated periodontitis treatment.Our results indicated that 4-OI attenuates inflammation and oxidative stress via disassociation of KEAP1-Nrf2 and activation of Nrf2 signaling cascade. Taken together, local administration of 4-OI offers clinical potential to inhibit periodontal destruction,ameliorate local inflammation for more predictable periodontitis. | Liangjing Xin Fuyuan Zhou Chuangwei Zhang Wenjie Zhong Shihan Xu Xuan Jing Dong Wang Si Wang Tao Chen Jinlin Song | 2022 | International Journal of Oral Science2022,14,3: | 3 |

| 3 | PRMT1 promotes the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells by recruiting MLXIP for the transcriptional activation of theβ-catenin pathway显示文摘Protein arginine methyltransferase 1(PRMT1),a type I PRMT,is overexpressed in gastric cancer(GC)cells.To elucidate the function of PRMT1 in GC,PRMT1 expression in HGC-27 and MKN-45 cells was knocked down by short hairpin RNA(shRNA)or inhibited by PRMT1 inhibitors(AMI-1 or DCLX069),which resulted in inhibition of GC cell proliferation,migration,invasion,and tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo.MLX-interacting protein(MLXIP)and Kinectin 1(KTN1)were identified as PRMT1-binding proteins.PRMT1 recruited MLXIP to the promoter ofβ-catenin,which inducedβ-catenin transcription and activated theβ-catenin signaling pathway,promoting GC cell migration and metastasis.Furthermore,KTN1 inhibited the K48-linked ubiquitination of PRMT1 by decreasing the interaction between TRIM48 and PRMT1.Collectively,our findings reveal a mechanism by which PRMT1 promotes cell proliferation and metastasis mediated by theβ-catenin signaling pathway. | Feng Wang Shitong Chen Shihan Peng Xujun Zhou Houyi Tang Hanghua Liang Xi Zhong He Yang Xiaoxue Ke MuHan Lü Hongjuan Cui | 2023 | Genes & Diseases2023,10,6: | 0 |
| 4 | Single-cell RNA landscape of the special fiber initiation process in Bombax ceiba显示文摘As a new source of natural fibers,the Bombax ceiba tree can provide thin,light,extremely soft and warm fiber material for the textile industry.Natural fibers are an ideal model system for studying cell growth and differentiation,but the molecular mechanisms that regulate fiber initiation are not fully understood.In B.ceiba,we found that fiber cells differentiate from the epidermis of the inner ovary wall.Each initiated cell then divides into a cluster of fiber cells that eventually develop into mature fibers,a process very different from the classical fiber initiation process of cotton.We used high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)to examine the special characteristics of fiber initiation in B.ceiba.A total of 15567 high-quality cells were identified from the inner wall of the B.ceiba ovary,and 347 potential marker genes for fiber initiation cell types were identified.Two major cell types,initiated fiber cells and epidermal cells,were identified and verified by RNA in situ hybridization.A developmental trajectory analysis was used to reconstruct the process of fiber cell differentiation in B.ceiba.Comparative analysis of scRNAseq data from B.ceiba and cotton(Gossypium hirsutum)confirmed that the additional cell division process in B.ceiba is a novel species-specific mechanismfor fiber cell development.Candidate genes and key regulators that may contribute to fiber cell differentiation and division in B.ceiba were identified.This work reveals gene expression signatures during B.ceiba fiber initiation at a single-cell resolution,providing a new strategy and viewpoint for investigation of natural fiber cell differentiation and development. | Yuanhao Ding Wei Gao Yuan Qin Xinping Li Zhennan Zhang Wenjie Lai Yong Yang Kai Guo Ping Li Shihan Zhou Haiyan Hu | 2023 | Plant Communications2023,4,5: | 0 |
| 5 | The transcription factor IbNAC29 positively regulates the carotenoid accumulation in sweet potato显示文摘Carotenoid is a tetraterpene pigment beneficial for human health.Although the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway has been extensively studied in plants,relatively little is known about their regulation in sweet potato.Previously,we conducted the transcriptome database of differentially expressed genes between the sweet potato(Ipomoea batatas)cultivar‘Weiduoli’and its high-carotenoid mutant‘HVB-3’.In this study,we selected one of these candidate genes,IbNAC29,for subsequent analyses.IbNAC29 belongs to the plant-specific NAC(NAM,ATAF1/2,and CUC2)transcription factor family.Relative IbNAC29 mRNA level in the HVB-3 storage roots was∼1.71-fold higher than Weiduoli.Additional experiments showed that the contents ofα-carotene,lutein,β-carotene,zeaxanthin,and capsanthin are obviously increased in the storage roots of transgenic sweet potato plants overexpressing IbNAC29.Moreover,the levels of carotenoid biosynthesis genes in transgenic plants were also up-regulated.Nevertheless,yeast one-hybrid assays indicated that IbNAC29 could not directly bind to the promoters of these carotenoid biosynthesis genes.Furthermore,the level of IbSGR1 was down-regulated,whose homologous genes in tomato can negatively regulate carotene accumulation.Yeast three-hybrid analysis revealed that the IbNAC29-IbMYB1R1-IbAITR5 could form a regulatory module.Yeast one-hybrid,electrophoretic mobility shift assay,quantitative PCR analysis of chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that IbAITR5 directly binds to and inhibits the promoter activity of IbSGR1,up-regulating carotenoid biosynthesis gene IbPSY.Taken together,IbNAC29 is a potential candidate gene for the genetic improvement of nutritive value in sweet potato. | Shihan Xing Ruijie Li Haoqiang Zhao Hong Zhai Shaozhen He Huan Zhang Yuanyuan Zhou Ning Zhao Shaopei Gao Qingchang Liu | 2023 | Horticulture Research2023,10,3: | 0 |
| 6 | Extracellular vesicles derived from human dental mesenchymal stem cells stimulated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound alleviate inflammation-induced bone loss in a mouse model of periodontitis显示文摘Extracellular vesicles(EVs)derived from mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)have emerged as a new mode of intercellular crosstalk and are responsible for many of the thera-peutic effects of MSCs.To promote the application of MSC-EVs,recent studies have focused on the manipulation of MSCs to improve the production of EVs and EV-mediated activities.The current paper details an optimization method using non-invasive low-intensity pulsed ul-trasound(LIPUS)as the stimulation for improving oral MSC-EV production and effectiveness.Stem cells from apical papilla(SCAP),a type of oral mesenchymal stem cell,displayed inten-sity-dependent pro-osteogenic and anti-inflammatory responses to LIPUS without significant cytotoxicity or apoptosis.The stimuli increased the secretion of EVs by promoting the expres-sion of neutral sphingomyelinases in SCAP.In addition,EVs from LIPUS-induced SCAP exhibited stronger efficacy in promoting the osteogenic differentiation and anti-inflammation of peri-odontal ligament cells in vitro and alleviating oral inflammatory bone loss in vivo.In addition,LIPUS stimulation affected the physical characteristics and miRNA cargo of SCAP-EVs.Further investigations indicated that miR-935 is an important mediator of the pro-osteogenic and anti-inflammatory capabilities of LIPUS-induced SCAP-EVs.Taken together,these findings demonstrate that LIPUS is a simple and effective physical method to optimize SCAP-EV produc-tion and efficacy. | Tingwei Zhang Ziqi Chen Mengyuan Zhu Xuan Jing Xiaohui Xu Xulei Yuan Mengjiao Zhou Yanan Zhang Miao Lu Duanjing Chen Shihan Xu Jinlin Song | 2023 | Genes & Diseases2023,10,4: | 0 |
| 7 | Systemic antibiotics increase microbiota pathogenicity and oral bone loss显示文摘Periodontitis is the most widespread oral disease and is closely related to the oral microbiota.The oral microbiota is adversely affected by some pharmacologic treatments.Systemic antibiotics are widely used for infectious diseases but can lead to gut dysbiosis,causing negative effects on the human body.Whether systemic antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis can affect the oral microbiota or even periodontitis has not yet been addressed.In this research,mice were exposed to drinking water containing a cocktail of four antibiotics to explore how systemic antibiotics affect microbiota pathogenicity and oral bone loss.The results demonstrated,for the first time,that gut dysbiosis caused by long-term use of antibiotics can disturb the oral microbiota and aggravate periodontitis.Moreover,the expression of cytokines related to Th17 was increased while transcription factors and cytokines related to Treg were decreased in the periodontal tissue.Fecal microbiota transplantation with normal mice feces restored the gut microbiota and barrier,decreased the pathogenicity of the oral microbiota,reversed the Th17/Treg imbalance in periodontal tissue,and alleviated alveolar bone loss.This study highlights the potential adverse effects of long-term systemic antibiotics-induced gut dysbiosis on the oral microbiota and periodontitis.A Th17/Treg imbalance might be related to this relationship.Importantly,these results reveal that the periodontal condition of patients should be assessed regularly when using systemic antibiotics in clinical practice. | Xulei Yuan Fuyuan Zhou He Wang Xinxin Xu Shihan Xu Chuangwei Zhang Yanan Zhang Miao Lu Yang Zhang Mengjiao Zhou Han Li Ximu Zhang Tingwei Zhang Jinlin Song | 2023 | International Journal of Oral Science2023,15,1: | 0 |
| 8 | Design and preparation of a crosslinkable,oil-resistant,and bio-based elastomer from fumarate显示文摘Poly(diethyl fumarate-co-methoxyethyl acrylate-co-vinyl chloroacetate)(PDEFMV),a novel bio-based elastomer with a saturated structure,was synthesized via redox emulsion polymerization.The glass-transition temperatures of PDEFMV,adjusted through the variation of the diethyl fumarate-to-methoxyethyl acrylate feeding ratio,ranged from-36.1 to-14.8 ℃.The number-average molecular weights of PDEFMV ranged from 384,000 to 46,000 g/mol.In designing the molecular structure,vinyl chloroacetate was used to provide active sites for subsequent vulcanization and crosslinking.The active chlorine groups within the PDEFMV chain reacted with the crosslinking agent trithiocyanuric acid under high temperature and pressure to form a nonsulfur crosslinked three-dimensional network structure.To achieve the desired properties,carbon black(CB,N330) was incorporated to reinforce PDEFMV,leading to the formation of PDEFMV/CB composites.A comprehensive study was conducted on the high-temperature oil resistance of PDEFMV/CB composites.Following immersion in IRM903 oil at temperatures of 150 and 200 ℃ for 72 h,the mass and volume changes in PDEFMV/CB were lower than those observed in commercially available acrylate rubber(AR)/CB,indicating that PDEFMV exhibited superior oil resistance.Furthermore,the aging characteristics and mechanisms of oil resistance in the PDEFMV/CB and AR/CB composites were investigated at different temperatures(150,200,and 250 ℃).The results provide insights into the operational temperature ranges suitable for PDEFMV/CB and offer valuable guidance for potential industrial applications. | Hui Yang Haijun Ji Xinxin Zhou Shihan Yang Liwei Li Chaoying Sun Weiwei Lei Runguo Wang Liqun Zhang | 2024 | Science China Chemistry2024,67,2: | 0 |
