| 1 | The ER membrane protein complex subunit Emc3 controls angiogenesis via the FZD4/WNT signaling axis显示文摘The endoplasmic reticulum(ER) membrane protein complex(EMC) regulates the synthesis and quality control of membrane proteins with multiple transmembrane domains. One of the membrane spanning subunits, EMC3, is a core member of the EMC complex that provides essential hydrophilic vestibule for substrate insertion. Here, we show that the EMC subunit Emc3 plays critical roles in the retinal vascular angiogenesis by regulating Norrin/Wnt signaling. Postnatal endothelial cell(EC)-specific deletion of Emc3 led to retarded retinal vascular development with a hyperpruned vascular network, the appearance of bluntended, aneurysm-like tip endothelial cells(ECs) with reduced numbers of filopodia and leakage of erythrocytes at the vascular front. Diminished tube formation and cell proliferation were also observed in EMC3 depleted human retinal endothelial cells(HRECs). We then discovered a critical role for EMC3 in expression of FZD4 receptor of β-catenin signaling using RNA sequencing, real-time quantitative PCR(RT-q PCR) and luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, augmentation of Wnt activity via lithium chloride(Li Cl) treatment remarkably enhanced β-catenin signaling and cell proliferation of HRECs. Additionally, Li Cl partially reversed the angiogenesis defects in Emc3-c KO mice. Our data reveal that Emc3 plays essential roles in angiogenesis through direct control of FZD4 expression and Norrin/β-catenin signaling. | Mu Yang Shujin Li Wenjing Liu† Xiao Li Yunqi He Yeming Yang Kuanxiang Sun Lin Zhang Wanli Tian Lixin Duan Huafu Chen Dezhong Yao Zhenglin Yang Xianjun Zhu | 2021 | Science China(Life Sciences)2021，64，11： | 2 |
| 2 | Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers in context of COVID-19 outbreak:a retrospective analysis显示文摘The possible effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors(ACEIs)or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers(ARBs)on COVID-19 disease severity have generated considerable debate.We performed a single-center,retrospective analysis of hospitalized adult COVID-19 patients in Wuhan,China,who had definite clinical outcome(dead or discharged)by February 15,2020.Patients on anti-hypertensive treatment with or without ACEI/ARB were compared on their clinical characteristics and outcomes.The medical records from 702 patients were screened.Among the 101 patients with a history of hypertension and taking at least one anti-hypertensive medication,40 patients were receiving ACEI/ARB as part of their regimen,and 61 patients were on antihypertensive medication other than ACEI/ARB.We observed no statistically significant differences in percentages of in-hospital mortality(28%vs.34%,P=0.46),ICU admission(20%vs.28%,P=0.37)or invasive mechanical ventilation(18%vs.26%,P=0.31)between patients with or without ACEI/ARB treatment.Further multivariable adjustment of age and gender did not provide evidence for a significant association between ACEI/ARB treatment and severe COVID-19 outcomes.Our findings confirm the lack of an association between chronic receipt of reninangiotensin system antagonists and severe outcomes of COVID-19.Patients should continue previous antihypertensive therapy until further evidence is available. | Jiuyang Xu Chaolin Huang Guohui Fan Zhibo Liu Lianhan Shang Fei Zhou Yeming Wang Jiapei Yu Luning Yang Ke Xie Zhisheng Huang Lixue Huang Xiaoying Gu Hui Li Yi Zhang Yimin Wang Frederick G.Hayden Peter W.Horby Bin Cao Chen Wang | 2020 | Frontiers of Medicine2020，14，5： | 2 |

| 4 | Defective EMC1 drives abnormal retinal angiogenesis via Wnt/β-catenin signaling and may be associated with the pathogenesis of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy显示文摘Endoplasmic reticulum(ER)membrane protein complex(EMC)is required for the co-translational insertion of newly synthesized multi-transmembrane proteins.Compromised EMC function in different cell types has been implicated in multiple diseases.Using inducible genetic mouse models,we revealed defects in retinal vascularization upon endothelial cell(EC)specific deletion of Emc1,the largest subunit of EMC.Loss of Emc1 in ECs led to reduced vascular progression and vascular density,diminished tip cell sprouts,and vascular leakage.We then performed an unbiased transcriptomic analysis on human retinal microvascular endothelial cells(HRECs)and revealed a pivotal role of EMC1 in theβ-catenin signaling pathway.Further in-vitro and in-vivo experiments proved that loss of EMC1 led to compromisedβ-catenin signaling activity through reduced expression of Wnt receptor FZD4,which could be restored by lithium chloride(LiCl)treatment.Driven by these findings,we screened genomic DNA samples from familial exudative vitreoretinopathy(FEVR)patients and identified one heterozygous variant in EMC1 that co-segregated with FEVR phenotype in the family.In-vitro expression experiments revealed that this variant allele failed to facilitate the expression of FZD4 on the plasma membrane and activate theβ-catenin signaling pathway,which might be a main cause of FEVR.In conclusion,our findings reveal that variants in EMC1 gene cause compromisedβ-catenin signaling activity,which may be associated with the pathogenesis of FEVR. | Shujin Li Mu Yang Rulian Zhao Li Peng Wenjing Liu Xiaoyan Jiang Yunqi He Erkuan Dai Lin Zhang Yeming Yang Yi Shi Peiquan Zhao Zhenglin Yang Xianjun Zhu | 2023 | Genes & Diseases2023，10，6： | 1 |
| 5 | Variants in the Wnt co-receptor LRP6 are associated with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy显示文摘Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy(FEVR),an inherited eye disease,is characterized by abnormal retinal vascular development,such as neovascularization,vitreous hemorrhage,exudation,and retinal detachment(Criswick and Schepens,1969;Robitaille et al.,2002).FEVR is inherited as autosomal dominant,autosomal recessive,and X-linked patterns(de Crecchio et al.,1998). | Shujin Li Mu Yang Yunqi He Xiaoyan Jiang Rulian Zhao Wenjing Liu Lulin Huang Yi Shi Xiao Li Kuanxiang Sun Yeming Yang Periasamy Sundaresan Peiquan Zhao Zhenglin Yang Xianjun Zhu | 2022 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2022，49，6： | 1 |
| 6 | Two new species of Mesozoic tree ferns(Osmundaceae:Osmundacaulis)in Eurasia as evidence of long-term geographic isolation显示文摘The fossil trunks and rhizomes of Osmundaceae provide important information about its evolutionary history.Due to limited records of the Mesozoic trunks and rhizomes in the Eurasia of the Northern Hemisphere,our understanding on the fossil diversity of the Osmundaceae is hindered.Two new species of the Osmundaceae trunks,Osmundacaulis asiatica sp.nov.and Osmundacaulis sinica sp.nov.representing the first discovery of the Mesozoic tree fern genus Osmundacaulis in Eurasia,are described from Wudalianchi and Qiqihar,Heilongjiang Province,Northeast China,which enriches the plant diversity of the Osmundaceae in the Eurasia,and provides vital evidence for studying the distribution,radiation and evolution of the genus during the Cretaceous.The fossil records suggest that Osmundacaulis species may have evolved from a common ancestor,which first appeared in the Australian portion of Pangaea,and then spread to ancient northern North America and ancient East Asia.Since then,they developed into different species through their own evolutionary lines.The Chinese species have a special local feature that the outer cortex is thicker than the inner cortex,in contrast with reported Osmundacaulis species having thinner outer cortex and thicker inner cortex.Long-term geographic isolation may have led to the radiation of diverse Osmundacaulis species and the appearance of region-specific features,such as the thick outer cortex and the thin inner cortex of the Chinese species.Among all reported Osmundacaulis species,the two new species found in China,O.nerii from the Jurassic of Australia and the O.lemonii from the Jurassic of the USA,have special groups of mucilage-sacs inside sclerenchyma ring of petiole base.Mucilage sacs probably originated independently among taxonomic groups,representing convergent adaptations to similar habitats,rather than indicating genetic inheritance from a common ancestor. | Yeming Cheng Fengxiang Liu Xiaonan Yang Tongxing Sun | 2020 | Geoscience Frontiers2020，11，5： | 1 |
| 7 | Loss of Wtap results in cerebellar ataxia and degeneration of Purkinje cells显示文摘N^(6)-methyladenosine(m^(6)A)modification,which is achieved by the METTL3/METTL14/WTAP methyltransferase complex,is the most abundant internal mRNA modification.Although recent evidence indicates that m^(6)A can regulate neurodevelopment as well as synaptic function,the roles of m^(6)A modification in the cerebellum and related synaptic connections are not well established.Here,we report that Purkinje cell(PC)-specific WTAP knockout mice display early-onset ataxia concomitant with cerebellar atrophy due to extensive PC degeneration and apoptotic cell death.Loss of Wtap also causes the aberrant degradation of multiple PC synapses.WTAP depletion leads to decreased expression levels of METTL3/14 and reduced m^(6)A methylation in PCs.Moreover,the expression of GFAP and NF-L in the degenerating cerebellum is increased,suggesting severe neuronal injuries.In conclusion,this study demonstrates the critical role of WTAP-mediated m^(6)A modification in cerebellar PCs,thus providing unique insights related to neurodegenerative disorders. | Yeming Yang Guo Huang Xiaoyan Jiang Xiao Li Kuanxiang Sun Yi Shi Zhenglin Yang Xianjun Zhu | 2022 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2022，49，9： | 1 |

| 9 | Impact of corticosteroids on initiation and half-year durability of humoral response in COVID-19 survivors显示文摘Background:The impact of corticosteroids on humoral responses in coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)sur-vivors during the acute phase and subsequent 6-month period remains unknown.This study aimed to determine how the use of corticosteroids influences the initiation and duration of humoral responses in COVID-19 survivors 6 months after infection onset.Methods:We used kinetic antibody data from the lopinavir-ritonavir trial conducted at Jin Yin-Tan Hospital in January 2020,which involved adults hospitalized with severe COVID-19(LOTUS,ChiCTR2000029308).Anti-body samples were collected from 192 patients during hospitalization,and kinetic antibodies were monitored at all available time points after recruitment.Additionally,plasma samples were collected from 101 COVID-19 survivors for comprehensive humoral immune measurement at the half-year follow-up visit.The main focus was comparing the humoral responses between patients treated with systemic corticosteroid therapy and the non-corticosteroid group.Results:From illness onset to day 30,the median antibody titre areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUCs)of nucleoprotein(N),spike protein(S),and receptor-binding domain(RBD)immunoglobulin G(IgG)were significantly lower in the corticosteroids group.The AUCs of N-,S-,and RBD-IgM as well as neutralizing antibodies(NAbs)were numerically lower in the corticosteroids group compared with the non-corticosteroid group.However,peak titres of N,S,RBD-IgM and-IgG and NAbs were not influenced by corticosteroids.During 6-month follow-up,we observed a delayed decline for most binding antibodies,except N-IgM(��−0.05,95%CI[−0.10,0.00])in the corticosteroids group,though not reaching statistical significance.No significant difference was observed for NAbs.However,for the half-year seropositive rate,corticosteroids significantly accelerated the decay of IgA and IgM but made no difference to N-,S-,and RBD-IgG or NAbs.Additionally,corticosteroids group showed a trend towards delayed viral clearance compared with the non-corticosteroid group,but the results were not statistically significant(adjusted hazard ratio 0.71,95%CI 0.50-1.00;P=0.0508).Conclusion:Our findings suggested that corticosteroid therapy was associated with impaired initiation of the antibody response but this did not compromise the peak titres of binding and neutralizing antibodies.Throughout the decay phase,from the acute phase to the half-year follow-up visit,short-term and low-dose corticosteroids did not significantly affect humoral responses,except for accelerating the waning of short-lived antibodies. | Yeming Wang Li Guo Guohui Fan Yang Han Qiao Zhang Lili Ren Hui Zhang Geng Wang Xueyang Zhang Tingxuan Huang Weiyang Wang Lan Chen Lixue Huang Xiaoying Gu Xinming Wang Jingchuan Zhong Ying Wang Hui Li Jiapei Yu Zhibo Liu Chaolin Huang Bin Cao Jianwei Wang | 2024 | Chinese Medical Journal Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine2024，2，1： | 0 |
| 10 | The m^(6)A reader YTHDC2 maintains visual function and retinal photoreceptor survival through modulating translation of PPEF2 and PDE6B显示文摘Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) are major causes of visual impairment and irreversible blindness worldwide, while the precise molecular and genetic mechanisms are still elusive. N6-methyladenosine (m^(6)A) modification is the most prevalent internal modification in eukaryotic mRNA. YTH domain containing 2 (YTHDC2), an m^(6)A reader protein, has recently been identified as a key player in germline development and human cancer. However, its contribution to retinal function remains unknown. Here, we explore the role of YTHDC2 in the visual function of retinal rod photoreceptors by generating rod-specific Ythdc2 knockout mice. Results show that Ythdc2 deficiency in rods causes diminished scotopic ERG responses and progressive retinal degeneration. Multi-omics analysis further identifies Ppef2 and Pde6b as the potential targets of YTHDC2 in the retina. Specifically, via its YTH domain, YTHDC2 recognizes and binds m^(6)A-modified Ppef2 mRNA at the coding sequence and Pde6b mRNA at the 5′-UTR, resulting in enhanced translation efficiency without affecting mRNA levels. Compromised translation efficiency of Ppef2 and Pde6b after YTHDC2 depletion ultimately leads to decreased protein levels in the retina, impaired retinal function, and progressive rod death. Collectively, our finding highlights the importance of YTHDC2 in visual function and photoreceptor survival, which provides an unreported elucidation of IRD pathogenesis via epitranscriptomics. | Yeming Yang Xiaoyan Jiang Junyao Chen Lu Liu Guo Liu Kuanxiang Sun Wenjing Liu Xianjun Zhu Qiuyue Guan | 2024 | Journal of Genetics and Genomics2024，51，2： | 0 |
| 11 | Long-term outcomes in COVID-19 patients who recovered from the first wave of the pandemic显示文摘This cross-sectional study evaluated the long-term health effects of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)in Jianghan District(Wuhan,China).The results showed that 61.4%of COVID-19 patients reported at least one symptom and 8.8%had depressive symptoms at the 17-month follow-up.The proportion of patients with chest radiographic abnormalities in Fangcang shelter hospitals and designated COVID-19hospitals was 31.6%and 41.1%,respectively,and the proportion of patients with impaired pulmonary diffusion capacity in these hospitals was 52.8%and 60.9%,respectively.Female sex(odds ratio[OR]=1.48,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.16–1.88),severe disease(OR=1.46,95%CI:1.01–2.10)and a higher number of initial symptoms(OR=1.31,95%CI:1.23–1.40)were associated with the development of sequelae symptoms at 17 months.This study involving community-dwelling COVID-19adults may help determine the long-term effects of COVID-19 during the first pandemic wave.Nonetheless,larger follow-up studies are needed to characterize the post-COVID-19 condition. | Dan Cui Simiao Chen Luzhao Feng Mengmeng Jia Yeming Wang Weijun Xiao Yanxia Sun Qiangru Huang Libing Ma Zhiwei Leng Hao Wang Bin Cao Weizhong Yang Juntao Yang Chen Wang | 2022 | National Science Review2022，9，11： | 0 |

| 13 | Anatomical Study of Cretaceous,Permineralized,Bennettitalean Fossils from Heilongjiang Province,NE China显示文摘Well-preserved Cretaceous trunk fragments of Cycadeoidea(Cycadeoidaceae)were recently found in Keshan County,Heilongjiang Province,Northeast China.These fossils represent important evidence of the distribution of this group of plants in East Asia.In these trunk fragments,the stem cortices and leaf bases with cones are preserved.The leaf bases are rhombic with cones infrequently distributed among leaf bases.The cortex is broad and consists of fundamental parenchyma cells,numerous secretory ducts and C-shaped leaf traces with adaxial secondary xylem and abaxial secondary phloem.The genus Cycadeoidea,which is widely distributed in the Cretaceous deposits of East Asia,North America and Western Europe,was an important component of Cretaceous floras.Bennettitalean trunk fossils with well-preserved anatomical structures are rarely known from China.These fossils are important for studies of the evolution of genus Cycadeoidea and for stratigraphic correlation. | LIU Fengxiang YANG Xiaonan CHENG Yeming | 2022 | Acta Geologica Sinica(English Edition)2022，96，5： | 0 |
| 14 | The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex subunit Emc6 is essential for rhodopsin localization and photoreceptor cell survival显示文摘The endoplasmic reticulum(ER)membrane protein complex(EMC)is responsible for monitoring the biogenesis and synthetic quality of membrane proteins with tail-anchored or multiple transmembrane domains.The EMC subunit EMC6 is one of the core members of EMC and forms an enclosed hydrophilic vestibule in cooperation with EMC3.Despite studies demonstrating that deletion of EMC3 led to rhodopsin mislocalization in rod photoreceptors of mice,the precise mechanism leading to the failure of rhodopsin trafficking remains unclear.Here,we generated the first rod photoreceptor-specific knockout of Emc6(RKO)and cone photoreceptor-specific knockout of Emc6(CKO)mouse models.Deficiency of Emc6 in rod photoreceptors led to progressive shortening of outer segments(OS),impaired visual function,mislocalization and reduced expression of rhodopsin,and increased gliosis in rod photoreceptors.In addition,CKO mice displayed the progressive death of cone photoreceptors and abnormal localization of cone opsin protein.Subsequently,proteomics analysis of the RKO mouse retina illustrated that several cilium-related proteins,particularly anoctamin-2(ANO2)and transmembrane protein 67(TMEM67),were significantly down-regulated prior to OS degeneration.Detrimental rod photoreceptor cilia and mislocalized membrane disc proteins were evident in RKO mice.Our data revealed that in addition to monitoring the synthesis of rhodopsin-dominated membrane disc proteins,EMC6 also impacted rod photoreceptors'ciliogenesis by regulating the synthesis of membrane proteins associated with cilia,contributing to the mislocalization of membrane disc proteins. | Kuanxiang Sun Lu Liu Xiaoyan Jiang Heting Wang Lin Wang Yeming Yang Wenjing Liu Lin Zhang Xiaohui Zhao Xianjun Zhu | 2024 | Genes & Diseases2024，11，2： | 0 |
