    Abstract A general strategy to program self-resettable and dissipative toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions was proposed, using DNA strands as the fuel and lambda exonuclease as the fuel-consuming unit. This non-equilibrium system is reversible and temporally controllable. Furthermore, it can be well integrated into a DNA network to temporally control its cascade reaction or dynamic behaviour.

    Abstract Reversible structural changes in DNA nanomachines have great potential in the field of bioanalysis. Here, we demonstrate an assembly strategy for quencher-free and tunable DNA tweezers based on 2-aminopurine (2-AP), avoiding the tedious fluorescence labelling step. The conformational state of the tweezers could be controlled by specific oligonucleotides (fuel or anti-fuel). Taking advantage of the local environmental sensitivity of 2-AP, the structural changes of the tweezers were easily tracked, and multiple cyclic switching of the tweezers between the open and closed states was achieved. In addition, the influence of oligonucleotide structure on the fluorescence properties of 2-AP was deeply explored. We figured out that the fluorescence of 2-AP was highly quenched by the base-stacking of natural bases in DNA oligonucleotides. Moreover, by comprehensively regulating the type of bases surrounding the inserted 2-AP site, a sensitive fluorescence response towards dynamic change can be obtained. This principle of quencher-free nanodevices based on 2-AP provides a convenient method for monitoring the structural changes of DNA nanomachines.

    Abstract Succinylation modification involves in the progression of human cancers. The present study aimed to investigate the role of CPT1A, which is a succinyltransferase in the progression of prostate cancer (PCa). CCK-8 was used to detect the cell viability. Seahorse was performed to evaluate the cell glycolysis. Luciferase assay was used to detect the transcriptional regulation. ChIP was performed to assess the binding between transcriptional factors with the promoters. Co-IP was used to assess the binding between proteins. We found that CPT1A was highly expressed in PCa tissues and cell lines. Silencing of CPT1A inhibited the viability and glycolysis of PCa cells. Mechanistically, CPT1A promoted the succinylation of SP5, which strengthened the binding between SP5 and the promoter of PDPK1. SP5 activated PDPK1 transcription and PDPK1 activated the AKT/mTOR signal pathway. These findings might provide novel targets for the diagnosis or therapy of prostate cancer.

    Abstract The accumulation of antibiotics in the natural environment can disrupt microbial population dynamics. However, our understanding of how microbial communities adapt to the antibiotic stress in groundwater ecosystems remains limited. By recovering 2675 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from 66 groundwater samples, we explored the effect of antibiotics on bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities, and revealed the pivotal microbes and their mechanisms in coping with antibiotic stress. The results indicated that antibiotics had the most significant influence on bacterial and archaeal communities, while the impact on the fungal community was minimal. Analysis of co-occurrence networks between antibiotics and microbes revealed the critical roles of Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) bacteria and DPANN archaea, two representative microbial groups in groundwater ecosystem, in coping with antibiotic resistance and enhancing network connectivity and complexity. Further genomic analysis demonstrated that CPR bacteria carried approximately 6 % of the identified antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), indicating their potential to withstand antibiotics on their own. Meanwhile, the genomes of CPR bacteria and DPANN archaea were found to encode diverse biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for producing antimicrobial metabolites, which could not only assist CPR and DPANN organisms but also benefit the surrounding microbes in combating antibiotic stress. These findings underscore the significant impact of antibiotics on prokaryotic microbial communities in groundwater, and highlight the importance of CPR bacteria and DPANN archaea in enhancing the overall resilience and functionality of the microbial community in the face of antibiotic stress.

    Abstract The development of a simple, rapid, easy-to-operate, and ultrasensitive DNA walker-based sensing system is challenging but would be very intriguing for the enormous applications in biological analysis and disease monitoring. Herein, a new self-propelled and self-enhanced DNA walking strategy was developed on the basis of a simple DNA polymerase-steered conversion from a typical alternate DNA assembly process. The sensing platform was fabricated easily by immobilizing only one hairpin probe (H1) and the sensing process was based on a simple one-step mixing with another hairpin-like DNA probe (H2) and DNA polymerase. The DNA polymerization could achieve target recycling and successive DNA walking steps. Interestingly, along with each DNA walking step, the new DNA walker sequence could be autonomously accumulated for a self-enhanced DNA walking effect. This provided a multilevel signal amplification ability for the ultrasensitive detection of the target with a low detection limit of 0.18 fM. Moreover, it could greatly reduce the reaction time with the sensing process finished within 1 h. The detection selectivity and the applicative potential in a complicated biological matrix were also demonstrated. Furthermore, the flexible control of sensing modes (self-enhanced DNA walking or the alternate DNA assembly) by using DNA polymerase or not offered a powerful means for sensing performance modulation. It thus opens a new avenue toward the development of a DNA walker-based sensing platform with both rapid and ultrasensitive features and might hold a huge potential for point-of-care diagnostic applications.

    Abstract Development of a flexible, easy-to-use, and well-controllable DNA-based sensing platform would provide enormous opportunities to boost molecular diagnosis and signal transduction or information processing. Herein, a duplex DNA scaffold containing a bulge was deployed for the fabrication of a simple and general DNA-based electrochemical sensing platform. It could be harnessed for different signal output behaviors (one signal-off and two signal-on modes) toward a single-step analysis of the target protein. The detection limit toward the target protein could reach about 0.1 nM. Also, it could be used as a streamlined electrochemical workflow for the successive monitoring of protein binding. Furthermore, such an electrochemical sensing platform could be explored for the operation of the concatenated AND logic gates as a molecular keypad lock system. The current sensing platform based on only one duplex DNA scaffold presented features such as simple biosensor design and fabrication, flexible operation for different signal outputs, sensitive and selective protein detection, and expandable logic operation. It thus would pave a broad road toward the development of high-performance biosensors or logic devices to be applied for molecular diagnosis or computing.

    Abstract Agrobacterium sp. LAD9 capable of heterotrophic-aerobic nitrogen removal was applied into a single biological aerated filter (BAF) for bioaugmented treatment of municipal wastewater. The achievement of simultaneous nitrogen and carbon removal in the bioaugmented system was systematically evaluated by ratios of COD to nitrogen (COD/N), ranging from 1 to 20. The results showed that at an appropriate COD/N ratio of 10, the BAF exhibited excellent carbon and nutrients removal, the averaged removal efficiencies for COD, NH₄ ⁺-N and TN were 92.3%, 100% and 80.0%, respectively. Long-term operation of the bioaugmented system also confirmed the stability of the treatment efficiency. Further comparisons of SOUR and PCR-DGGE profiles between the bioaugmented and the control system revealed that the introduction of strain LAD9 greatly changed the structure of original microbial community and facilitated their capabilities of aerobic nutrients removal. The proposed bioaugmentation strategy is of particular importance to upgrading or retrofitting concurrent municipal wastewater treatment systems.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the long-term effectiveness of self-compassion therapy (SCT) combined with core stability exercise (CSE) versus CSE alone in managing nonspecific chronic low back pain (NCLBP).
    Methods: The combined group received SCT and CSE, while the exercise group only received CSE. Treatment was administered once weekly for four weeks, followed by one year of follow-up. The primary outcomes were changes in functional limitations (measured by Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire scores[RMDQ]) and self-reported back pain (measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale[NRS]) at 52 weeks, with assessments also conducted at 2, 4, and 16 weeks.
    Results: 52 (83.9%) completed the follow-up assessments and were included in the analysis (42 women [80.8%]; mean [SD] age,35.3 [10.0] years). In the combined group, the baseline mean (SD) RMDQ score was 9.3 (4.1),5.7 (5.8) at 2 weeks, 3.8 (3.4) at 4 weeks, 3.8 (3.7) at 16 weeks, and 2.4 (2.7) at 52 weeks. For the exercise group, the RMDQ scores were 8.2 (3.3) at baseline, 6.2 (4.2) at 2 weeks, 5.5 (4.7) at 4 weeks, 4.4 (4.5) at 16 weeks, and 5.2 (5.6) at 52 weeks. The estimated mean difference between the groups at 52 weeks was -3.356 points (95% CI, -5.835 to -0.878; P = 0.009), favoring the combined group. NRS scores showed similar changes.
    Conclusion: The addition of self-compassion therapy enhances the long-term efficacy of core stability training for NCLBP (Preregistered at chictr.org.cn:ChiCTR2100042810).
