    Abstract People tend to make positive self-presentations on social networking sites (SNS). We aim to compare people's attitudes toward others' positive self-presentations on SNS and its mechanism. The sample in Experimental 1 included 71 Chinese college students. We measured participants' attitudes to others' positive self-presentation, life details self-presentation, and demotivation self-presentation on SNS. Results from Experiment 1 showed that participants preferred others' life details self-presentations over positive self-presentations, and mostly disliked demotivation self-presentations. In Experiment 2, with another sample, we tested idealization, perceived interpersonal distance, stress, anxiety, and depression as mediators of participants' attitudes toward others' positive self-presentation. The results suggested that feelings of depression and interpersonal distance play a mediating role in the relationship between the self-presentation types and people's likability of these posts. The results have implications for understanding why people dislike positive self-presentations on SNS. Positive self-presentations lead people to feel more depressed and far interpersonally distanced from the sharer, and thus they are less likely to like positive self-presentation.

    Abstract Biological disasters in farmland have become a serious threat to global sustainability. Quantitative studies on spatiotemporal change in regional intensity of biological disasters in farmland (RIBDF) are crucial for promoting sustainable intensification of farmland use and global food security. Many studies have revealed the impacts of natural environment on biological disasters in farmland. However, research on the impacts of farmers' activities on biological disasters remains very limited from the perspective of induced substitution in agricultural production. Based on the principle of induced substitution in agricultural production, a theoretical framework for the impacts of farmland use intensity (FUI), the occurrence intensity of biological disasters (OIBD), the natural loss intensity resulting from biological disasters (NLIBD), and the actual loss intensity controlled by human activities (ALIBD) on change in RIBDF was presented, and we therefore established an assessment model integrating these four key indices in this study. Taking Guangdong Province in China as the study area, this study analyzed the spatiotemporal changes in RIBDF from 1996 to 2017 and found that RIBDF increased overall with three change stages of slow growth, rapid growth, and decline at the provincial and regional levels. Moreover, the gravity center of RIBDF appeared to shift towards the coastal region in southwestern Guangdong at a speed of 18.20 km per year. The results reveal that the spatiotemporal change in RIBDF is determined by the key influencing factors including the substitution of chemical fertilizers for farmland and crop substitution. These findings suggest that it is necessary to expand the scale of farmland management and to encourage farmers to implement diversified cropping as well as chemical fertilizers reduction. The foremost contribution of this study is its exploration of an understanding of the linkage between farmland use activities characterized as induced substitution in agricultural production and biological disasters. Moreover, policy implications for sustainable intensification of farmland use were discussed based on these findings.

    Abstract Background: Drought stress is a serious threat to land use efficiency and crop yields worldwide. Understanding the mechanisms that plants use to withstand drought stress will help breeders to develop drought-tolerant medicinal crops. Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.) is an important medicinal crop in the legume family and is currently grown mostly in northwest China, it is highly tolerant to drought. Given this, it is considered an ideal crop to study plant stress tolerance and can be used to identify drought-resistant proteins. Therefore, to understand the effects of drought stress on protein levels of liquorice, we undertook a comparative proteomic analysis of liquorice seedlings grown for 10 days in soil with different relative water content (SRWC of 80%, 65%, 50% and 35%, respectively). We used an integrated approach of Tandem Mass Tag labeling in conjunction with LC-MS/MS.
    Results: A total of 7409 proteins were identified in this study, of which 7305 total proteins could be quantified. There were 837 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) identified after different drought stresses. Compared with CK, 123 DEPs (80 up-regulated and 43 down-regulated) were found in LS; 353 DEPs (254 up-regulated and 99 down-regulated) in MS; and 564 DEPs (312 up-regulated and 252 down-regulated) in SS.The number of differentially expressed proteins increased with increasing water stress, and the number of up-regulated proteins was higher than that of down-regulated proteins in the different drought stress treatments compared with the CK. Used systematic bioinformatics analysis of these data to identify informative proteins we showed that osmolytes such as cottonseed sugars and proline accumulated under light drought stress and improved resistance. Under moderate and severe drought stress, oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and accumulation of glucose and galactose increased in response to drought stress. Under moderate and severe drought stress synthesis of the terpene precursors, pentacene 2,3-epoxide and β-coumarin, was inhibited and accumulation of triterpenoids (glycyrrhetinic acid) was also affected.
    Conclusions: These data provide a baseline reference for further study of the downstream liquorice proteome in response to drought stress. Our data show that liquorice roots exhibit specific response mechanisms to different drought stresses.

    Abstract Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains the worst molecular subtype due to high heterogeneity and lack of effective therapeutic targets. Here we investigated the tumor and immune microenvironment heterogeneity of TNBC using scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq data from public databases and our cohort. Macrophage subpopulations accounted for a high proportion of tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), and M1 macrophages were associated with better clinical outcomes. Furthermore, three maker genes including IFI35, PSMB9, and SAMD9L showed a close connection with M1 macrophages. Specifically, IFI35 was positively associated with macrophage activation, chemotaxis, and migration. Also, patients with high IFI35 expression had a better prognosis.

    Abstract Innate immunity protects us in youth but turns against us as we age. The reason for this tradeoff is unclear. Seeking a thermodynamic basis, we focused on death fold domains (DFDs), whose ordered polymerization has been stoichiometrically linked to innate immune signal amplification. We hypothesized that soluble ensembles of DFDs function as phase change batteries that store energy via supersaturation and subsequently release it through nucleated polymerization. Using imaging and FRET-based cytometry to characterize the phase behaviors of all 109 human DFDs, we found that the hubs of innate immune signaling networks encode large nucleation barriers that are intrinsically insulated from cross-pathway activation. We showed via optogenetics that supersaturation drives signal amplification and that the inflammasome is constitutively supersaturated

    Abstract Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer with poor prognosis due to the lack of therapeutic targets. Although immunotherapy brings survival benefits to patients diagnosed with TNBC, it remains limited and treatment resistance is widespread. Here we demonstrate that IFI35 is highly expressed in tumor tissues and can be induced by Interferon-γ in a time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner in breast cancer cells. In xenograft models, we reveal that IFI35 dramatically increases myeloid-derived suppressor cells infiltration in tumors, along with depletion and anergy of CD8

    Abstract Tubal inflammation, endometritis, and uterine adhesions due to post-pelvic inflammatory disease (SPID) are important causes of infertility. Chronic endometritis (CE) belongs to SPID, which seriously affects women's reproductive health, quality of life, and family harmony, and is a hot and difficult problem in clinical research. The efficacy of Pen Yan Kang Fu Decoction (PYKFD) has been verified in long-term clinical practice for chronic endometritis infertility caused by the SPID. Numerous studies have confirmed that the LIF/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway is important in embryo implantation and development, and endometritis infertility is close to LIF/JAK2/STAT3. In vivo results showed that PYKFD increased endometrial receptivity, repaired uterine tissue damage, and regulates the expression of endometrial receptivity-related factors ER (estrogen receptor), PR (progesterone receptor), CD31, and integrin αvβ3, and induced the transduction of LIF/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. PYKFD can also regulate the expression of IL-6. The results of in vitro experiments showed that PYKFD regulates the behavior of rat endometrial epithelial cells (REECs) involving LIF. In conclusion, PYKFD can improve endometrial receptivity and promote endometrial repair by LIF/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

    Abstract Ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins are dioxygenases that convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxylmethylcytosine (5hmC) in DNA and RNA. However, their involvement in adult stem cell regulation remains unclear. Here, we identify a novel enzymatic activity-independent function of Tet in the Drosophila germline stem cell (GSC) niche. Tet activates the expression of Dpp, the fly homologue of BMP, in the ovary stem cell niche, thereby controlling GSC self-renewal. Depletion of Tet disrupts Dpp production, leading to premature GSC loss. Strikingly, both wild-type and enzyme-dead mutant Tet proteins rescue defective BMP signaling and GSC loss when expressed in the niche. Mechanistically, Tet interacts directly with Bap55 and Stat92E, facilitating recruitment of the Polybromo Brahma associated protein (PBAP) complex to the dpp enhancer and activating Dpp expression. Furthermore, human TET3 can effectively substitute for Drosophila Tet in the niche to support BMP signaling and GSC self-renewal. Our findings highlight a conserved novel catalytic activity-independent role of Tet as a scaffold protein in supporting niche signaling for adult stem cell self-renewal.
