    Abstract Corneal epithelium and stroma are the major cellular structures for ocular protection and vision accuracy; they play important roles in corneal wound healing and inflammation under pathological conditions. Unlike human, murine corneal and stromal fibroblast cells are difficult to isolate for cell culture. In our laboratory, we successfully used an ex vivo culture procedure and an enzymatic procedure to isolate, purify, and culture mouse corneal epithelial and stromal fibroblast cells. Key features • Primary cell culture models of a disease are critical for cellular and molecular mechanism studies. • Corneal tissues with the limbus contain stem cells to generate both epithelial and stromal cells. • An ex vivo corneal culture provides a constant generation of primary corneal cells for multiple passages. • The isolated cells are validated by the corneal epithelial cell markers Krt12 and Cdh1 and the stromal fibroblast marker Vim.

    Abstract Disulfide constrained peptides (DCPs) show great potential as templates for drug discovery. They are characterized by conserved cysteine residues that form intramolecular disulfide bonds. Taking advantage of phage display technology, we designed and generated twenty-six DCP phage libraries with enriched molecular diversity to enable the discovery of ligands against disease-causing proteins of interest. The libraries were designed based on five DCP scaffolds, namely Momordica charantia 1 (Mch1), gurmarin, Asteropsin-A, antimicrobial peptide-1 (AMP-1), and potato carboxypeptidase inhibitor (CPI). We also report optimized workflows for screening and producing synthetic and recombinant DCPs. Examples of novel DCP binders identified against various protein targets are presented, including human IgG Fc, serum albumin, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). We identified DCPs against human IgG Fc and serum albumin with sub-micromolar affinity from primary panning campaigns, providing alternative tools for potential half-life extension of peptides and small protein therapeutics. Overall, the molecular diversity of the DCP scaffolds included in the designed libraries, coupled with their distinct biochemical and biophysical properties, enables efficient and robust identification of de novo binders to drug targets of therapeutic relevance.

    Abstract Massive growth is posing threat to the ecological security and sustainability of cities. Ecosystem service value (ESV) and ecological risk index (ERI) assessment can be conducted to enhance urban ecosystem management through the enhanced recognition of these values and risks in decision-making. This paper aimed to measure spatiotemporal ESV and ERI for Shizuishan City located in central China, and, based on this, how to zone urban ecological space using land cover data (for the years 2010, 2015, and 2020). The management options of different zones were suggested to mitigate and manage any potential negative impacts on urban ecological security. Results show that: (1) The spatial distribution characteristic of ESV is “high in the south and low in the north”. The total ESV exhibited an upward tendency from 2010 to 2020. (2) The high-ERI areas were distributed in the peripheral region, while the low-ERI areas were concentrated in the central region. The ERI of water was in decline continuously, whereas the ERI of wetland maintained a high level. (3) The zoning approach integrating ESV and ERI assessment can truly reflect the status of the environment and better clarify the direction of ecological development for different areas. Among four different ecological zones, the high-ESV and low-ERI areas (I) have abundant ecological resources, and they are set as “Priority Development Areas”. The low-ESV and low-ERI areas (II) are set as “Ecological Improvement Areas” because the area of ecological lands are confined. The low-ESV and high-ERI areas (III) have a fragile ecological environment, and they are set as “Exploitation-Prohibited Areas”. The high-ESV and high-ERI areas (IV) are mainly distributed near water and wetland, and they are set as “Research-focused Areas”.

    Abstract The sparse recovery (SR) space-time adaptive processing (STAP) method has excellent clutter suppression performance under the condition of limited observation samples. However, when the cluttering is nonlinear in a spatial-Doppler profile, it will cause an off-grid effect and reduce the sparse recovery performance. A meshless search using a meta-heuristic algorithm (MH) can completely eliminate the off-grid effect in theory. Therefore, genetic algorithm (GA), differential evolution (DE), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and grey wolf optimization (GWO) methods are applied to SR-STAP for selecting exact clutter atoms in this paper. The simulation results show that MH-STAP can estimate the clutter subspace more accurately than the traditional algorithm; PSO-STAP and GWO-STAP showed better clutter suppression performance in four MH-STAP methods. To search for more accurate clutter atoms, PSO and GWO are combined to improve the method's capacity for global optimization. Meanwhile, the fitness function is improved by using prior knowledge of the clutter distribution. The simulation results show that the improved PSO-GWO-STAP algorithm provides excellent clutter suppression performance, which solves the off-grid problem better than does single MH-STAP.

    Abstract Phage display technology has been a powerful tool in peptide drug development. However, the supremacy of phage display-based peptide drug discovery is plagued by the follow-up process of peptides synthesis, which is costly and time consuming, but is necessary for the accurate measurement of binding kinetics in order to properly triage the best peptide leads during the affinity maturation stages. A sensitive technology is needed for directly measuring the binding kinetics of peptides on phages to reduce the time and cost of the entire process. Here, we show the capability of a charge-sensitive optical detection (CSOD) method for the direct quantification of binding kinetics of phage-displayed peptides to their target protein, using whole phages. We anticipate CSOD will contribute to streamline the process of phage display-based drug discovery.

    Abstract The Mie-scattering lidar can detect atmospheric turbulence intensity by using the return signals of Gaussian beams at different heights. The power spectrum method and Zernike polynomial method are used to simulate the non-Kolmogorov turbulent phase plate, respectively, and the power spectrum method with faster running speed is selected for the subsequent simulation. In order to verify the possibility of detecting atmospheric turbulence by the Mie-scattering lidar, some numerical simulations are carried out. The power spectrum method is used to simulate the propagation of the Gaussian beam from the Mie-scattering lidar in a vertical path. The propagation characteristics of the Gaussian beam using a non-Kolmogorov turbulence model are obtained by analyzing the intensity distribution and spot drift effect. The simulation results show that the scintillation index of simulation is consistent with the theoretical value trend, and the accuracy is very high, indicating that the method of atmospheric turbulence detection using Mie-scattering lidar is effective. The simulation plays a guiding role for the subsequent experimental platform construction and equipment design.

    Abstract MicroRNA exerts an important regulatory role in almost all the biological process, including hair follicle development in Liaoning Cashmere goat. In order to improve the Cashmere performance of goat, the regulatory role of microRNA in hair follicle cycle has drawn hotspot attention. However, the molecular mechanisms of miRNA-1-3p involved in hair follicle development are poorly understood. In this study, we found that miRNA-1-3p was less expressed in anagen stage of hair follicle cycle of Cashmere goat than that in telogen stage by using RT-qPCR and immunoblotting analysis, in contrast to the expression pattern of FGF14. The Dual-Luciferase reporter assay was employed to verify the relationship between miRNA-1-3p and FGF14. The results showed that miRNA-1-3p specifically binds to the 3′UTR of FGF14 mRNA, and FGF14 is the target gene of miR-1-3p. In conclusion, this study shows that miRNA-1-3p may regulate hair follicle development in Liaoning Cashmere goats by targeting FGF14.
