    Abstract Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a special class of functional RNA molecules that are not translated into proteins. ncRNAs have emerged as pivotal regulators of diverse developmental processes in plants. Recent investigations have revealed the association of ncRNAs with the regulation of leaf senescence, a complex and tightly regulated developmental process. However, a comprehensive review of the involvement of ncRNAs in the regulation of leaf senescence is still lacking. This manuscript aims to summarize the molecular mechanisms underlying ncRNAs-mediated leaf senescence and the potential applications of ncRNAs to manipulate the onset and progression of leaf senescence. Various classes of ncRNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are discussed in terms of their regulatory mechanisms in leaf senescence. Furthermore, we explore the interactions between ncRNA and the key regulators of senescence, including transcription factors as well as core components in phytohormone signaling pathways. We also discuss the possible challenges and approaches related to ncRNA-mediated leaf senescence. This review contributes to a further understanding of the intricate regulatory network involving ncRNAs in leaf senescence.

    Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a severe autoimmune disease with symptoms including synovial inflammation, cartilage erosion, and bone loss in RA lesions, which eventually lead to joint deformity and function loss. Most current treatments fail to achieve satisfying therapeutic outcomes with some adverse effects. Extracellular vesicles derived from apoptotic cells (apoEVs) have emerged as important mediators in intercellular communication regulating diverse physiological and pathological processes. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of macrophage-derived and osteoclast-derived apoEVs (Mφ-apoEVs and OC-apoEVs) on RA. The

    Abstract Aimed at the stability of calibration coefficients in a general non-orthogonal retrieval algorithm (NRA) of pure rotational Raman lidars (PRRLs), an orthogonal retrieval algorithm (ORA) of atmospheric temperature profiles based on the orthogonal basis function is proposed. This algorithm eliminates the correlation between the calibration coefficients in the NRA to reduce the influence of the number of calibration points and the selection scheme on the calibration coefficients. In this paper, the stabilities of calibration coefficients in the NRA and ORA are compared and analyzed, and the data analysis for atmospheric temperature profiles with a time resolution of minute-level are given, based on the developed Cloud Precipitation Potential Evaluation (CPPV) lidar data and the parallel radiosonde temperature data. The analysis results show that coefficients of variation (CVs) of ORA calibration coefficients are one order of magnitude smaller than those of NRA coefficients. The mean deviation of the ORA retrieval results is roughly reduced by 16.1% compared with the NRA, and the root-mean-square deviation is roughly reduced by 15.0% compared with the NRA. Therefore, the temperature retrieval performance of the ORA is better than that of the NRA.

    Abstract Nano-scale crystal defects extremely affect the security and reliability of explosive charges of weapons. In this work, the nano-scale crystal defects of 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) single crystals were characterized by two-dimension SAXS. Deducing from the changes of SAXS pattern with sample stage rotating, we firstly found the parallel lamellar nano-scale defects in both RDX and HMX single crystals. Further analysis shows that the average diameter and thickness of nano-scale lamellar defects for RDX single crystal are 66.4 nm and 19.3 nm, respectively. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicate that the lamellar nano-scale defects distribute along the (001) in RDX and the (011) in HMX, which are verified to be the crystal planes with the lowest binding energy by the theoretical calculation.

    Abstract Insulin has many important biological functions. Insulin interacts with the insulin receptor (IR) to play its physiological role and execute its functions. Here, we isolated porcine hepatocytes from young and aged pigs, which endogenously express the IR, as a model to study the intracellular signalling properties and cellular behaviour of insulin with aging. Firstly, we analysed the intracellular signal transduction that is triggered by insulin in porcine hepatocytes that were isolated from young and aged pigs and found that insulin can strongly activate insulin receptor subunit (IRS), protein kinase B (AKT), and GSK in a time- and dose-dependent manner in hepatocytes from young pigs. On the contrary, the signalling response to insulin in hepatocytes from aged pigs was significantly reduced compared to that of the young pig. Secondly, the different subcellular locations of insulin/insulin receptor (IR) may result in different biological activities, although nuclear-localized insulin/IR still could exhibit important functions and roles. We found that insulin can translocate into cell nuclei in the hepatocytes of the young pigs; however, insulin/insulin receptor fails to transports into the cell nucleus in hepatocytes from aged pigs, although insulin/insulin receptor could internalize into cell cytoplasm. In summary, in the current study, we explored and compared for the first time insulin's behaviour and signalling properties in the cells of young pig hepatocytes and aged pig hepatocytes. Furthermore, we found that the insulin signalling response in hepatocytes was significantly reduced with age; more importantly, we found that the cell behaviour of insulin was changed significantly in the hepatocytes from aged pigs compared to young pigs, and it is noteworthy that insulin/IR cannot translocate into the cell nuclei in the hepatocytes from the aged pig. This may be a potential new reason contributing to insulin resistance with aging, suggesting that we need to study the reason for insulin resistance from a new point of view.

    Abstract There are two distinct phenotypes of activated microglia, pro-inflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2. Accumulating evidence indicates that shifting the microglial polarization from M1 to M2 is a potential strategy for the treatment of neuroinflammation-associated brain diseases, including ischemic stroke. Cycloastragenol (CAG) is a hydrolysis product of astragaloside IV, the major active component of Astragalus radix. We have previously demonstrated that CAG has anti-inflammatory effect in a mouse model of ischemic stroke. This study investigated the effect of CAG on the phenotype polarization of microglia in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV-2 mouse microglial cells and ischemic stroke mice. In LPS-treated BV-2 cells, we found that CAG significantly reduced the expression of M1 markers, including pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes. In contrast, CAG promoted the expression of M2 markers, including anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factor. In addition, CAG inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and enhanced the activation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and the expression of its downstream heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Furthermore, CAG also inhibited levels of M1 markers, promoted those of M2 markers, and enhanced Nrf2 activation and HO-1 expression in ischemic mouse brain. Importantly, the effect of CAG on M2 markers, but not M1 markers, was reversed by Nrf2 siRNA in LPS-stimulated BV-2 cells. Together, our results suggested that CAG promoted microglial M2 and suppressed M1 polarization through activating Nrf2 and inhibiting NF-κB, respectively, in LPS-stimulated BV-2 cells and ischemic mouse brain. CAG is a promising candidate for the treatment of neuroinflammation-related diseases, including ischemic stroke.

    Abstract Post-ischemic peripheral immunosuppression increases vulnerability to infection which is a common complication and worsens outcome in ischemic stroke patients. Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis plays a key role in post-ischemic immunosuppression. Astragaloside IV (ASIV), isolated from Astragalus membranaceus, possesses immunomodulatory and neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemic injury. This study investigated the effect of ASIV on cerebral ischemia-induced peripheral immunosuppression and the underlying mechanism in a mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Our results showed that ASIV significantly prevented the atrophy of spleen and the reduction of splenic cell count. Meanwhile, ASIV preserved cell numbers of splenic NK, T, and B cells in the spleen. ASIV also suppressed apoptosis of splenic cells and preserved their proliferation ability. In addition, ASIV robustly reduced the mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and CRH in the hypothalamus, as well as the enlargement of adrenal gland and the increase of corticosterone in blood, indicating the inhibition of HPA axis by ASIV. Furthermore, ASIV did not enhance the effect of HPA inhibition on reducing splenic atrophy and preserving splenic NK, T, and B cell numbers in MCAO mice. Of note, ASIV did not attenuate splenic cell apoptosis induced by prednisolone, suggesting that ASIV may ameliorate splenic apoptosis through reducing peripheral glucocorticoid level. Our findings demonstrate that ASIV ameliorates post-ischemic peripheral immunosuppression through inhibiting the activation of HPA axis and targeting HPA activation to ameliorate peripheral immunosuppression may be a promising strategy to improve clinical outcomes of ischemic stroke.
