    Abstract According to information asymmetry theory and stakeholder theory, this article explores the impact and mechanism of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information disclosure on the company's future stock price crash risk based on the A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2019. We find that ESG information disclosure significantly reduces the company's future stock price crash risk. This conclusion remains robust after a series of robustness tests, such as PSM-DID. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the negative relationship between ESG disclosure and stock price crash risk is more significant in state-owned enterprises, companies with higher agency costs, and when companies in the bull market. The mechanism is that companies choose to disclose ESG information to alleviate information asymmetry problems and enhance corporate reputation capital, thus reducing the future stock price crash risk. This article shows that strengthening ESG construction will help improve the efficiency of China's resource allocation and promote the capital market development.

    Abstract Peritrichs are one of the largest groups within the class Oligohymenophorea. They have a worldwide distribution and a high degree of species diversity. Using the single-cell genome sequencing technique, we obtained the genomes of five sessilid peritrichs. Combining both genomic and transcriptomic data of other publicly available oligohymenophorean ciliates (including the genomes of three sessilid peritrichs from our team’s previous study), we conducted a comparative genomics study. Our phylogenomic analyses using both maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods recovered the subclass Peritrichia and each of its two orders (Sessilida and Mobilida) as being monophyletic. The non-monophyly of two families (Vorticellidae and Zoothamniidae) was also well supported in both trees. Molecular clock analysis showed that the origin of the subclass Peritrichia was estimated to be during the late Proterozoic. We also analyzed the stop codon usage of 44 oligohymenophoreans. The results showed that most of these species used TGA as the biased stop codon and reassigned the other two stop codons (TAA and TAG) to code amino acids. In addition, we found that the presence of a typical peritrich lorica is a plesiomorphic character of the family Vaginicolidae. Through GO enrichment analysis for group-specific orthogroups of Vaginicolidae, we successfully identified the biological process and molecular function GO terms that were linked with the typical peritrich lorica, including three glycosaminoglycan-related and two chitin-related GO terms. Finally, our enrichment analyses of significantly expanded gene families in Peritrichia found that sessilids were more tolerant to environmental stress (mainly organic matter) than mobilids, suggesting that peritrich lineages (especially sessilids) may have the potential for application in environmental pollution control and bioremediation. Together, the results presented in this study will facilitate wider genome-scale phylogenetic analyses of Peritrichia and deepen the understanding of their unique advantages for environmental pollution control bioremediation.

    Abstract Th17 cells are powerful inflammation promoters in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) can promote the differentiation of Th17 cells in chronic inflammatory autoimmune injury. Here, we aim to examine whether MDSCs regulate the differentiation of Th17 cells to participate in the development of AAA. We demonstrated an abnormal accumulation of MDSCs in AAA patients, which was positively associated with Th17 cells. We established angiotensin II-induced apolipoprotein E knockout mice and found the impaired immunosuppressive function of M-MDSCs. After systemic injection of anti-Gr-1 antibody in AAA mice to deplete circulating MDSCs, AAA formation and the differentiation of Th17 cells were abolished, and the overexpression of inducible T-cell costimulator (ICOS) on Th17 cells was reversed accordingly. Regulating the expression of ICOS ligand (ICOSL) on MDSCs affects the differentiation of Th17 cells. The adoptive transfer of ICOSL

    Abstract Diabetes is a syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia with or without insulin resistance. Its etiology is attributed to the combined action of genes, environment and immune cells. Myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) is a heterogeneous population of immature cells with immunosuppressive ability. In recent years, different studies have debated the quantity, activity changes and roles of MDSC in the diabetic microenvironment. However, the emerging roles of MDSC have not been fully documented with regard to their interactions with diabetes. Here, the manifestations of MDSC and their subsets are reviewed with regard to the incidence of diabetes and diabetic complications. The possible drugs targeting MDSC are discussed with regard to their potential of treating diabetes. We believe that understanding MDSC will offer opportunities to explain pathological characteristics of different diabetes. MDSC also will be used for personalized immunotherapy of diabetes.

    Abstract Shikonin is an anti-inflammatory natural herbal drug extracted from Lithospermum erythrorhizon and its therapeutic effect on neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) is yet unknown. In our study, Shikonin significantly reversed the cognitive impairment and alleviated the brain tissue damage in NPSLE mice. The permeability of blood-brain barrier was also verified to be repaired in Shikonin-treated NPSLE mice. In particular, we found that Shikonin alleviated neuroinflammation through inhibiting β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby depressing the activation of microglia and the loss of neuronal synapses. Overall, Shikonin may be a promising candidate drug for NPSLE through diminishing neuroinflammation and repairing neuron damage.

    Abstract Rationale: Reversing the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) is crucial for treating malignant melanoma. Seeking a robust platform for the effective reversion of hypoxic and immunosuppressive TME may be an excellent solution to revolutionizing the current landscape of malignant melanoma treatment. Here, we demonstrated a transdermal and intravenous dual-administration paradigm. A tailor-made Ato/cabo@PEG-TK-PLGA NPs were administrated transdermally to melanoma with the help of a gel spray containing a skin-penetrating material borneol. Nanoparticles encased Ato and cabo were released and thereby reversed the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).
    Methods: Ato/cabo@PEG-TK-PLGA NPs were synthesized through a self-assembly emulsion process, and the transdermal ability was assessed using Franz diffusion cell assembly. The inhibition effect on cell respiration was measured by OCR, ATP, and pO
    Results: The transdermally administrated Ato/cabo@PEG-TK-PLGA NPs successfully spread to the skin surface of melanoma and then entered deep inside the tumor with the help of a gel spray and a skin puncturing material borneol. Atovaquone (Ato, a mitochondrial-respiration inhibitor) and cabozantinib (cabo, a MDSCs eliminator) were concurrently released in response to the intratumorally overexpressed H
    Conclusion: Taken together, we developed a transdermal and intravenous dual-administration paradigm, which effectively reversed the hypoxic and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in the treatment of the malignant melanoma. We believe our study will open a new path for the effective elimination of the primary tumors and the real-time control of tumor metastasis.

    Abstract Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is manifested by endometrial fibrosis and inflammation, which seriously affects female reproductive health. Macrophages are mainly inflammatory cells and have been reported to participate in the fibrosis of IUA. Oroxylin A (OA), a kind of flavonoid compounds, was showed to possess the inhibitory effects on inflammation and fibrosis. However, the role of OA in IUA remains unclear. In the present study, we found that OA effectively alleviated the level of inflammation and uterine fibrosis in IUA mice. OA also decreased the macrophage pyroptosis which increased in uteri of IUA mice. Pyroptosis is a programmed cell death accompanied by an inflammatory response. Moreover, OA repressed the mediators of pyroptosis including the expression of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), caspase-1 and Gasdermin D (GSDMD) and the release of IL-1β, IL-18 and cleaved-caspase-1 in J774A.1 cells induced by LPS/ATP in vitro. Mechanistically, the alleviation of OA on uterine fibrosis is achieved by inhibiting macrophage pyroptosis via SIRT3-SOD2-ROS pathway. Our data indicate that OA may serve as an effective agent for the treatment of the endometrial fibrosis with IUA.

    Abstract The transcription factor forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) is closely related to the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer (OC), however its role and molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we found that FoxO1 was highly expressed in clinical samples of OC patients and was significantly correlated with poor prognosis. FoxO1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation of OC cells in vitro and in vivo. ChIP-seq combined with GEPIA2 and Kaplan-Meier database analysis showed that structural maintenance of chromosome 4 (SMC4) is a downstream target of FoxO1, and FoxO1 promotes SMC4 transcription by binding to its -1400/-1390 bp promoter. The high expression of SMC4 significantly blocked the tumor inhibition effect of FoxO1 knockdown. Furtherly, FoxO1 increased SMC4 mRNA abundance by transcriptionally activating methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) and increasing SMC4 m
