    Abstract Aims: Cardiomyocyte apoptosis is an important factor leading to the occurrence and development of heart failure (HF), which is associated with high mortality of patients with cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms of HF in terms of expression and regulation patterns using bioinformatics and experimental validation.
    Methods and results: Two HF datasets were collected: a dataset GSE112056 downloaded from the GEO database (including mRNA and miRNA sequencing data) and another is the laboratory-owned mRNA dataset. Differential mRNAs and miRNAs in the two datasets were screened using the raw Bayesian approach method. Gene Ontology was used to perform functional enrichment analysis of the differential mRNAs and co-expression network analysis of the differential mRNAs, combined with nuclear transcription factors in the differential miRNAs and mRNAs for target gene prediction. A HF cell model was constructed using mouse cardiomyocytes (HL-1), and the role and mechanism of miRNA-103-3p-Hlf (hepatic leukaemia factor) in the process of HF was verified by cell transfection, luciferase reporter gene, WB, and qPCR. We found that Hlf gene expression was decreased in the HF model group and strongly correlated with FYCO1 (FYVE and coiled-coil domain-containing protein 1) gene, a phenomenon enriched in apoptotic autophagy-related pathways. MiR-103-3p expression was up-regulated in the HF model group, and its targeting correlation with Hlf was confirmed by luciferase activity assay. In the HL-1 cell model, miR-103-3p significantly promoted apoptosis and inhibited autophagy in HL-1 cells (all P < 0.05), and overexpression of the Hlf gene reversed this phenomenon, inhibiting apoptosis and promoting autophagy in HL-1 cells (all P < 0.05).
    Conclusions: MiR-103-3p affects myocardial cells apoptosis and autophagy by targeting Hlf, playing as a potential therapeutic biomarker for HF progression.

    Abstract Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of angiotensin II-induced ferroptosis in vascular endothelial cells.
    Methods: In vitro, HUVECs were treated with AngII, AT
    Results: As the concentration of Ang II (0, 0.1,1,10,100, and 1000uM for 48 h) increased, the level of MDA and intracellular iron content increased in HUVECs. Compared with the single AngII group, ALOX12, p53, MDA, and intracellular iron content in AT
    Conclusions: AngII can induce ferroptosis of vascular endothelial cells. The mechanism of AngII-induced ferroptosis may be regulated through the signal axis of p53-ALOX12.

    Abstract: Background: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) GMDS-AS1 has been reported as a tumor regulator in tumor growth and metastasis, but its effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. ESET, a histone H3K9 methyl-transferase, is involved in epigenomic ...

    Abstract Background: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) GMDS-AS1 has been reported as a tumor regulator in tumor growth and metastasis, but its effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. ESET, a histone H3K9 methyl-transferase, is involved in epigenomic regulation of tumor progression in multiple cancers. However, the correlation between ESET and lncRNA in HCC is less reported.
    Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was taken to determine the expression of ESET and GMDS-AS1. Western blot was taken to determine the target protein levels of ESET and GMDS-AS1. Online database and bioinformatics analysis were used to screen abnormally expressed genes. Luciferase assay was performed to confirm the binding of GMDS-AS1 and PSMB1. Ki67 and Edu were used for evaluated the proliferation of tumor cells. ChIP assay was performed to verify the relationship between H3K9me1 and lncRNA GMDS-AS1 promoter. Transwell was taken to determine the migration and invasion ability of tumor cells. CCK-8 was used for determining the viability of tumor cells. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the cell cycle of tumor cells.
    Results: The expression of GMDS-AS1 was decreased and the expression of ESET was increased in HCC. GMDS-AS1 inhibition contributed to tumor development, and this effect was closely related to epigenetic inhibition of GMDS-AS1 by ESET. PSMB1, a downstream target of GMDS-AS1, promoted the tumor proliferation and was negatively regulated by GMDS-AS1.
    Conclusion: Our result demonstrates anti-tumorigenic traits of lncRNA GMDS-AS1 in HCC and explains its pattern of regulation mediated by ESET. Our work unmasked an essential role of GMDS-AS1 in HCC progression and detected a novel pathway for ESET to promote HCC.

    Abstract The rapid development of offshore wind farms (OWFs) has raised concerns about the increasing conflicts and synergies with existing marine activities, especially the traditional fishery industry, from socioeconomic and environmental perspectives. Quantifying the conflicts and synergies require frameworks that can consider environment and economic systems simultaneously. This study builds on and extends a well-established computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to incorporate a natural capital and ecosystem service into the modelling framework, enabling a comprehensive analysis of the two-way interactions between the economy and natural environment. Our results suggest that expansion of OWFs has significant negative impacts on the seafood sectors, whereas fish stocks benefit slightly as fewer fish are harvested. Moreover, the increase in fish stocks due to the closed areas and artificial reef effect could bring benefits to the fishing sector, and pass onto the wider economy. The combined impacts of expansion of OWFs and increased fish stock demonstrate the potential benefits of multi-use of marine spaces by the OWFs and fishing activities. This modelling approach provides an illustration of the potential and importance of incorporating natural capital into CGE models in practice, which could be used for policy making regarding marine renewable energy and sustainable development planning in the marine environment.

    Abstract This study mainly focuses on revealing the role of PLAGL2 in lung cancer stemness. In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of PLAGL2 on lung cancer cell stemness. Mechanistic analysis using luciferase reporter and ChIP assays were implemented to reveal the underlying mechanisms. The transcriptional factor E2F1 transcriptionally activated PLAGL2 expression via directly binding to PLAGL2 promoter in lung cancer cells. Moreover, PLAGL2 promoted the stemness of lung cancer cells dependent on E2F1‐mediated transcriptional activation. This study provides a potential target for lung cancer progression.

    Abstract The nexus of energy, water and greenhouse gas plays a vital role in resource management and response to climate change for all nations. Actions in China is decisive. In this study, the environmentally-extended input-output model and structural path analysis are combined to analyze the energy-water-greenhouse gas nexus for China 2017. The sectors of Mining and washing of coal, Production and distribution of water, Mining and washing of coal are revealed to show the highest embodied energy consumption intensity, embodied water consumption intensity, and embodied greenhouse gas emission intensity, respectively. Among all 149 sectors, some sectors are identified to be more sensitive than others: Farming, Production and supply of electricity and steam are more energy-water-greenhouse gas sensitive, and Mining and washing of coal, Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas are more energy-greenhouse gas sensitive, and Animal husbandry, Manufacture of pharmaceutical products are more water-greenhouse gas sensitive. Structural path analysis shows that the top 30 supply chain paths contribute to 34.99% of energy consumption, to 39.18% of water consumption, and to 40.18% of greenhouse gas emissions. By studying the main paths, critical sectors of the energy-water-greenhouse gas nexus are further identified as Farming, Mining and washing of coal, Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas, Production and supply of electricity and steam, Construction of buildings, Civil engineering. Exploring the energy-water-greenhouse gas nexus of 149 sectors could help to lock the key nodes of China's resource management and greenhouse gas emission control in the supply chains.

    Abstract Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to synergize with low or even zero-carbon electricity towards a deep mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and ultimately carbon neutrality. These benefits are only obtainable when EV charging maximizes the consumption of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. However, the current mismatch between renewable energy output and EV charging demand poses a substantial challenge. Rescheduling charging events, namely charging coordination, has the potential to integrate renewable electricity and tap into higher GHG emission reductions. In this study, with Beijing as the research domain, we develop a charging demand model informed by real-world usage data generated by a massive fleet of private cars, and evaluate the comprehensive impacts of various charging coordination schemes in the future with higher adoption rates of both private EVs and renewable power sources. The research finds that strategies aiming at maximizing renewable power consumption, netload valley filling, and charging cost minimization have similar climate benefits, which can reduce well-to-wheels GHG emissions by approximately 20%, cut charging cost by half, and erase 95% of the need for newly installed generation capacity compared to the benchmark scenario without coordinated charging. On the other hand, conventional charging strategies, such as the simple demand-valley-filling strategy, would increase GHG emissions. The study indicates that substantial benefits can be synergistically achieved between power and transport systems towards improved grid stability, lower fuel cost, and greater emission mitigation by leveraging EV charging flexibility at the end-user side (i.e., charging facility). Furthermore, the potential need for sophisticated charging coordination with multiple optimization objectives is brought to attention.

    Abstract Aims: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and prognostic value of anxiety and depression in glioma patients.
    Methods: A total of 190 glioma patients who underwent resection were consecutively enrolled. Anxiety was assessed using hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) and Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS); depression was assessed with the use of HADS and Zung self-rating depression scale (SDS). All patients were followed up to death or 36 months. Overall survival (OS) was calculated according to the survival data.
    Results: The prevalence of anxiety ranged from 36.3 to 37.4%, and the prevalence of depression ranged from 28.4 to 32.6% based on different assessment scales. Female, diabetes, and increased WHO grade were correlated with HADS anxiety and SAS anxiety, while female, single/divorced/widowed status, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and CKD were associated with HADS depression and SDS depression. Further multivariate logistic analyses disclosed the following: single/divorced/widowed status and WHO grade were independent risk factors for HADS anxiety; female and hyperlipidemia were independent risk factors for SAS anxiety; whereas education duration (< 12 years), single/divorced/widowed status, and CKD were independent risk factors for HADS depression; female, single/divorced/widowed status, and hyperlipidemia were independent risk factors for SDS depression. Besides, HADS anxiety, SAS anxiety and SDS depression were correlated with shorter OS, while HADS depression was not.
    Conclusions: Our findings about the risk factors and prognostic value of anxiety and depression might aid for their early prevention and prognosis improvement in glioma patients.
