Dynamic microRNAome profiles in the developing porcine liver
<p>Increasing evidence suggests that micro (mi)RNAs play important roles in various biological process. To evaluate the roles of miRNA in the porcine liver, we investigated the dynamic profiles of microRNAomes using liver tissue from pigs during the embryonic period (embryonic day 90), weaning stage (postnatal day 30), and adult stage (7 years old). A total of 186 unique miRNAs were differentially expressed during liver development. We also identified that 17, 13, and 6 miRNAs were specifically abundant at embryonic day 90, postnatal day 30, and at 7 years, respectively. Besides regulating basic cellular roles in development, miRNAs expressed at the three developmental stages also participated in regulating “embryonic liver development,” “early hepatic growth and generating a functioning liver,” and “energy metabolic processes,” respectively. Our study indicates that miRNAs are extensively involved in liver development, and provides a valuable resource for the further elucidation of miRNA regulatory roles during liver development.</p> <p>miRNAs are extensively involved in liver development, especially for these stage-enriched miRNAs.</p

Latitudinal variation in body size in Fejervarya limnocharis supports the inverse of Bergmann’s rule: Supplementary Material
Bergmann’s
rule states that within a species of endotherms smaller individuals are found in warmer conditions, which is consistent for nearly all endotherms,
while in ectotherms body size patterns are less consistent. As ectothermic vertebrates, the morphology of amphibians is likely impacted by climatic
conditions.
Here, we examined latitudinal variation in body size in the ranid frog, <i>Fejervarya limnocharis</i>, based on literature and our own data on mean body size of 3637
individuals from 50 populations and average age of 2873
individuals from 40 populations in China. The
results showed that body size was positively correlated with environmental
temperature, but not with precipitation. Body
size was negatively correlated with latitude among populations in this
species, which supported the inverse of Bergmann’s rule. Our findings suggest
that a larger body size in low-latitude populations is associated
with a longer growing season related to the higher
environmental temperatur
Effect of MK-0626 on the expression of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine, manganese superoxide dismutase and heme oxygenase-1 during tacrolimus-induced pancreatic islet injury.
<p>(A and B) Immunohistochemistry for 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and its quantitative analysis in islet show intense nuclear expression and larger positive area for 8-OHdG in tacrolimus (TAC) groups. These changes are markedly decreased in TAC plus MK-0626 (M)-treated groups. (C) The TAC-induced serum 8-OHdG level is lowered by the addition of MK-0626. Immunoblot analysis of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) (D) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1, inducible form) and HO-2 (constitutive form) (E) in isolated pancreatic islets from the experimental rats. Note that the level of MnSOD and HO-1/HO-2 is lower in the TAC group; however, MK-0626 treatment leads to the recovery of its expression.

Self-Powered Nanocomposites under an External Rotating Magnetic Field for Noninvasive External Power Supply Electrical Stimulation
Electrical
stimulation in biology and gene expression has attracted
considerable attention in recent years. However, it is inconvenient
that the electric stimulation needs to be supplied an implanted power-transported
wire connecting the external power supply. Here, we fabricated a self-powered
composite nanofiber (CNF) and developed an electric generating system
to realize electrical stimulation based on the electromagnetic induction
effect under an external rotating magnetic field. The self-powered
CNFs generating an electric signal consist of modified MWNTs (m-MWNTs)
coated Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/PCL fibers. Moreover, the output
current of the nanocomposites can be increased due to the presence
of the magnetic nanoparticles during an external magnetic field is
applied. In this paper, these CNFs were employed to replace a bullfrog’s
sciatic nerve and to realize the effective functional electrical stimulation.
The cytotoxicity assays and animal tests of the nanocomposites were
also used to evaluate the biocompatibility and tissue integration.
These results demonstrated that this self-powered CNF not only plays
a role as power source but also can act as an external power supply
under an external rotating magnetic field for noninvasive the replacement
of injured nerve
<i>CF</i><sub><i>2</i></sub><i>–II</i> Alternative Splicing Isoform Regulates the Expression of Xenobiotic Tolerance-Related Cytochrome P450 <i>CYP6CY22</i> in <i>Aphis gossypii</i> Glover
The expression of P450 genes is regulated by trans-regulatory factors or cis-regulatory
elements and
influences how endogenous or xenobiotic substances are metabolized
in an organism’s tissues. In this study, we showed that overexpression
of the cytochrome P450 gene, CYP6CY22, led to resistance
to cyantraniliprole in Aphis gossypii. The expression of CYP6CY22 increased in the midgut
and remaining carcass of the CyR strain, and after repressing the
expression of CYP6CY22, the mortality of cotton aphids
increased 2.08-fold after exposure to cyantraniliprole. Drosophila ectopically expressing CYP6CY22 exhibited tolerance
to cyantraniliprole and cross-tolerance to xanthotoxin, quercetin,
2-tridecanone, tannic acid, and nicotine. Moreover, transcription
factor CF2–II (XM_027994540.2) is transcribed only as the splicing variant isoform CF2–II-AS, which was found to be 504 nucleotides shorter than CF2–II in A. gossypii. RNAi and yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) results
indicated that CF2–II-AS positively regulates CYP6CY22 and binds to cis-acting element p (−851/-842)
of CYP6CY22 to regulate its overexpression. The above
results indicated that CYP6CY22 was regulated by
the splicing isoform CF2-II-AS, which will help us
further understand the mechanism of transcriptional adaption of cross-tolerance
between synthetic insecticides and plant secondary metabolites mediated
by P450s
Changes in the level of DPP IV, GLP-1, and insulin after glucose loading in experimental rats.
<p>Tacrolimus (TAC)-and/or MK-0626 (M)-treated rats were given glucose at 0 min, followed by the measurement of plasma DPP IV activity, serum active GLP-1 level, and plasma insulin level at 0, 3.75, 7.5, 15, and 60 min. (A) MK-0626 treatment significantly inhibits DPP IV activity, and GLP-1 level reach a higher level in MK-0626 combined groups compared with the TAC group (B). (C) Note that plasma insulin level is sustained until 60 min in TAC plus MK-0626-treated groups compared with the TAC group. <i>n</i> = 8 rats per group. *P<0.05 vs. TAC. <sup>#</sup>P<0.05 vs. TAC+M10.</p
