    Abstract Magnaporthe oryzae is a hemibiotrophic fungus that also needs host nutrients for propagation during infection. During its interaction with rice, reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate important signaling reactions impacting both the pathogen and the host. In M. oryzae, the accumulation of ROS is important for the formation and maturation of the infectious structure appressorium. On the other hand, upon M. oryzae infection, rice generates further ROS to restrict invasive hyphae (IH) spreading. Despite ROS receptors remaining to be identified, M. oryzae recruits several strategies to respond and suppress ROS accumulation through the secretion of various effector molecules. These findings suggest that the balance between the generation and scavenging of ROS is sophisticatedly controlled during M. oryzae‐rice interaction. In this review, we discuss advances to understand the regulation mechanisms for the generation, accumulation, and transduction of ROS.

    Abstract Oceanic transport of heat by ubiquitous mesoscale eddies plays a critical role in regulating climate variability and redistributing excess heat absorbed by ocean under global warming. Eddies have long been simplified as axisymmetric vortices and their influence on heat transport remains unclear. Here, we combine satellite and drifter data and show that oceanic mesoscale eddies are asymmetric and directionally-dependent, and are controlled by their self-sustaining nature and their dynamical environment. Both the direction and amplitude of eddy-induced heat fluxes are significantly influenced by eddy's asymmetry and directional dependence. When the eddy velocity field is decomposed into asymmetric and symmetric components, the eddy kinetic energy exhibits a nearly equal partition between these two components. The total eddy-induced meridional heat flux similarly doubles the heat flux induced by the symmetric components, highlighting the crucial contribution of eddy asymmetry on the magnitude of eddy-induced oceanic heat transport.

    Abstract Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a rare and highly invasive form of breast cancer, renowned for its aggressive behavior, malignant capacity, and unfavorable prognosis. Despite considerable advancements in comprehending the underlying biology of IBC, the immune cell infiltration (ICI) profile in IBC remains inadequately elucidated. The current work endeavors to investigate the ICI characteristics of IBC and ascertain the pivotal immune cell subtypes and genes that impact its prognosis. The present study employed microarray data from the GEO database to demonstrate that IBC exhibited a lower abundance of activated mast cells (AMC) in comparison to non-inflammatory breast cancer (nIBC) or normal breast tissue (NBT). Additionally, the mRNA expression level of the gene polo-like kinase 5 (PLK5), which was correlated with AMC, was found to be lower in IBC relative to nIBC or NBT. Furthermore, this investigation provided compelling evidence indicating a potential association between a decreased mRNA expression level of PLK5 and a shorter progression-free survival in patients with breast cancer. The gene set enrichment analysis performed on PLK5 revealed that the gene expression in IBC was closely associated with diverse immune functions and pathways. Besides, a negative correlation has been established between PLK5 mRNA expression level and a majority of immune checkpoint-related genes, thereby suggesting the potential suitability of immunotherapy treatment for IBC. In summary, this study offers valuable insights into the ICI profile of IBC and identifies potential target PLK5 for improving its clinical management.

    Abstract Background: Cancer continues to be a prominent issue in the field of medicine, as demonstrated by recent studies emphasizing the significant role of autophagy in the development of cancer. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) provides a variety of anti-tumor agents capable of regulating autophagy. However, the clinical application of autophagy-modulating compounds derived from TCM is impeded by their restricted water solubility and bioavailability. To overcome this challenge, the utilization of nanotechnology has been suggested as a potential solution. Nonetheless, the current body of literature on nanoparticles delivering TCM-derived autophagy-modulating anti-tumor compounds for cancer treatment is limited, lacking comprehensive summaries and detailed descriptions.
    Methods: Up to November 2023, a comprehensive research study was conducted to gather relevant data using a variety of databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer Link, Web of Science, and CNKI. The keywords utilized in this investigation included "autophagy", "nanoparticles", "traditional Chinese medicine" and "anticancer".
    Results: This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential of nanotechnology in overcoming delivery challenges and enhancing the anti-cancer properties of autophagy-modulating compounds in TCM. The evaluation is based on a synthesis of different classes of autophagy-modulating compounds in TCM, their mechanisms of action in cancer treatment, and their potential benefits as reported in various scholarly sources. The findings indicate that nanotechnology shows potential in enhancing the availability of autophagy-modulating agents in TCM, thereby opening up a plethora of potential therapeutic avenues.
    Conclusion: Nanotechnology has the potential to enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of autophagy-modulating compounds in traditional TCM, through regulation of autophagy.

    Abstract Sorafenib (SOR) is currently the first line molecular targeting agent for advanced liver cancer therapy. Unfortunately, the insensitivity of liver cancer patients to SOR relatively limits its effectiveness. Huaier (HUA), a natural medicinal parasitic fungus found on the Sophora japonica Linn., has been widely employed as an adjuvant medication for numerous malignancies due to its potent anti-tumoral properties. This study aims to elucidate the enhancing therapeutic efficacy of HUA on SOR treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and mouse models. The CCK-8, clone formation, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, western blot, bioinformatic analysis, and xenograft tumor assays were performed to evaluate the synergistic anti-hepatoma efficacy and mechanisms of HUA-SOR combination treatment on HCC cells. The results revealed combination treatment further inhibited proliferation, promoted apoptosis, enhanced autophagy of HCC cells, and suppressed the growth of transplanted tumors in mice, compared with either HUA or SOR treatment alone. For Hep3B and Huh7 cells, the optimal synergistic doses of HUA in combination with SOR were 8 mg/mL + 4 μM and 4 mg/mL + 2 μM, with combination index values of 0.646 and 0.588, respectively. Additionally, the underlying mechanisms might be related to biological processes that are mediated by mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). The combination treatment downregulated the protein expression levels of p-mTOR, p-p70S6K, p62, and upregulated the protein expression levels of Beclin-1 and LC3B-II. The mTOR activator MHY1485 attenuated the effect of HUA-SOR combination by inhibiting autophagy, suggesting HUA may potentiate the sensitivity of HCC cells to SOR by partially inducing mTOR-mediated autophagic cell death. These findings might provide a rationale experimental foundation for clinical applications of HUA with SOR.
