    Abstract Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease affecting the rectum and colon. Numerous epidemiological studies have identified smoking as a protective factor for UC. Dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota and release of inflammatory factors are well-established characteristics associated with UC. Therefore, we have observed that nicotine exhibits the potential to ameliorate colitis symptoms in UC mice. Additionally, it exerts a regulatory effect on colonic microbiota dysbiosis by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while suppressing harmful bacteria. Combined

    Abstract Adipose tissue is a widely distributed organ that plays a critical role in age-related physiological dysfunctions as an important source of chronic sterile low-grade inflammation. Adipose tissue undergoes diverse changes during aging, including fat depot redistribution, brown and beige fat decrease, functional decline of adipose progenitor and stem cells, senescent cell accumulation, and immune cell dysregulation. Specifically, inflammaging is common in aged adipose tissue. Adipose tissue inflammaging reduces adipose plasticity and pathologically contributes to adipocyte hypertrophy, fibrosis, and ultimately, adipose tissue dysfunction. Adipose tissue inflammaging also contributes to age-related diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. There is an increased infiltration of immune cells into adipose tissue, and these infiltrating immune cells secrete proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Several important molecular and signaling pathways mediate the process, including JAK/STAT, NFκB and JNK, etc. The roles of immune cells in aging adipose tissue are complex, and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this review, we summarize the consequences and causes of inflammaging in adipose tissue. We further outline the cellular/molecular mechanisms of adipose tissue inflammaging and propose potential therapeutic targets to alleviate age-related problems.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of high-fat diet (HFD) supplemented with berberine on growth, lipid metabolism, antioxidant capacity and lipometabolism-related genes expression of AMPK signaling pathway in juvenile black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus). Five hundred and forty healthy fish (4.04 ± 0.01 g) were randomly distributed into six groups, and fed six experimental diets: normal-fat diet (NFD, 5% fat), HFD (15% fat), and four HFDs supplemented with graded levels of berberine, respectively. The results showed that, compared with fish fed NFD, HFD had no effects on the growth of fish except for reducing survival rate, whereas HFD caused extensive lipid accumulation, oxidative stress injury and hepatic abnormalities. However, compared with the HFD group, fish fed HFD containing an appropriate berberine (98.26 or 196.21 mg/kg) improved the growth performance, increased hepatic lipid metabolism and antioxidant enzymes activities, and up-regulated the mRNA expression levels of ampk subunits and lipolysis genes such as pparα, cpt-1, acox, atgl and hsl (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, HFD supplemented with an appropriate berberine reduced crude lipid contents in liver and whole-body, decreased serum lipid contents, and ALT and AST activities, and down-regulated the mRNA expression levels of lipogenesis genes such as srebp-1, acc1, gpat, fas and pparγ, and lipid transporter genes such as fatp, fabp and fat/cd36 (P < 0.05). Thus, HFD supplemented with an appropriate berberine could improve growth of black carp, promote lipid metabolism and enhance antioxidant capacity. The lipid-lowering mechanism of berberine might be mediated by activating AMPK pathway, up-regulating lipolysis genes expression, and down-regulating lipogenesis and transport genes expression.

    Abstract Although widely used in many applications, accurate and efficient human action recognition remains a challenging area of research in the field of computer vision. Most recent surveys have focused on narrow problems such as human action recognition methods using depth data, 3D-skeleton data, still image data, spatiotemporal interest point-based methods, and human walking motion recognition. However, there has been no systematic survey of human action recognition. To this end, we present a thorough review of human action recognition methods and provide a comprehensive overview of recent approaches in human action recognition research, including progress in hand-designed action features in RGB and depth data, current deep learning-based action feature representation methods, advances in human⁻object interaction recognition methods, and the current prominent research topic of action detection methods. Finally, we present several analysis recommendations for researchers. This survey paper provides an essential reference for those interested in further research on human action recognition.

    Abstract Many insect pests, including the brown planthopper (BPH), undergo windborne migration that is challenging to observe and track. It remains controversial about their migration patterns and largely unknown regarding the underlying genetic basis. By analyzing 360 whole genomes from around the globe, we clarify the genetic sources of worldwide BPHs and illuminate a landscape of BPH migration showing that East Asian populations perform closed-circuit journeys between Indochina and the Far East, while populations of Malay Archipelago and South Asia undergo one-way migration to Indochina. We further find round-trip migration accelerates population differentiation, with highly diverged regions enriching in a gene desert chromosome that is simultaneously the speciation hotspot between BPH and related species. This study not only shows the power of applying genomic approaches to demystify the migration in windborne migrants but also enhances our understanding of how seasonal movements affect speciation and evolution in insects.

    Abstract WD repeat domain 5 (WDR5) is a prominent target for pharmacological inhibition in cancer through its scaffolding role with various oncogenic partners such as MLL and MYC. WDR5-related drug discovery efforts center on blocking these binding interfaces or degradation have been devoted to developing small-molecule inhibitors or degraders of WDR5 for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, the precise role of WDR5 in these cancer cells has not been well elucidated genetically. Here, by using an MLL-AF9 murine leukemia model, we found that genetically deletion of Wdr5 impairs cell growth and colony forming ability of MLL-AF9 leukemia cells in vitro or ex vivo and attenuates the leukemogenesis in vivo as well, which acts through direct regulation of ribosomal genes. Pharmacological inhibition of Wdr5 recapitulates genetic study results in the same model. In conclusion, our current study demonstrated the first genetic evidence for the indispensable role of Wdr5 in MLL-r leukemogenesis in vivo, which supports therapeutically targeting WDR5 in MLL-rearranged leukemia by strengthening its disease linkage genetically and deepening insights into its mechanism of action.

    Abstract Background: Hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms, CYP1A2, is one of important enzymes for many drugs metabolism. Studies have confirmed that sustained hypoxia can influence the expression of hepatic CYP, including CYP1A2. The impact of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a marked characteristic of sleep apnea, on CYP1A2 remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of CIH on the expression of hepatic CYP1A2 in a mouse model with sleep apnea.
    Methods: Twenty four old male (6-8 weeks) C57BL/6J mice (n=12 in each group) were randomly assigned to either normoxia group or CIH group. Mice in CIH group underwent 12 weeks intermittent hypoxia exposure. The different gene expression of hepatic CYP1A2 between two groups was analyzed by quantity real-time polymerase chain reaction. The protein levels of hepatic CYP1A2 in each group were observed by using western blotting and immunohistochemistry.
    Results: After 12 weeks of exposure to intermittent hypoxia, the expression of hepatic CYP1A2, at the mRNA and protein levels was decreased more significantly in the CIH group than the normoxia group (P<0.01).
    Conclusions: CIH contributes to inhibiting the expression of hepatic CYP1A2. This implies that the dosage of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2, should be adjusted in patients with sleep apnea.

    Abstract Genistein, a plant isoflavone, is reported to have therapeutic potentials in multiple cancers, However, the molecular mechanism underlying promoting cell apoptosis in laryngeal cancer remains unclear. In this study, we report that miR-1469 was induced by genistein in laryngeal cancer. Elevated miR-1469 promoted cell apoptosis and inhibited Mcl1 expression. In addition, we also observed that tumor suppressor p53 was increased under genistein treatment. Elevation of p53 promoted miR-1469 expression, leading to miR-1469 increase and Mcl1 decrease. Therefore, our findings suggest that genistein can suppress laryngeal cancer cell survival through p53 -miR-1469-Mcl1pathway.
