Abstract
Ophiocordyceps sinensis (OS), known as "soft gold", played an important role in local economic development. OS from different producing areas was difficult to be discriminated by the appearance. Nagqu OS, a distinguished and safeguarded geographical indication product, commands a premium price in market. The real claim of OS geographical origins is urgently required. Here, 81 OS samples were collected from Tibetan Plateau in China to explore markers for tracing origins. OS from Xigazê can be distinguished by dark color of head of caterpillar. Then 57 samples, a fully representative training-sample set, were used to set up OPLS-DA models by nontargeted metabolomics from UPLC-QTOF-MS. Certain markers were successfully identified and validation using 21 blind test samples confirmed that the markers can trace the geographical origin of OS, especially Nagqu samples. It was affirmed that UPLC-QTOF-MS-based untargeted metabolomics coupled with OPLS-DA was a reliable strategy to trace the geographical origins of OS.

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in MYH7 and MYBPC3 account for the majority of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Targeted drugs like myosin ATPase inhibitors have not been evaluated in children. We generate patient and variant-corrected iPSC-cardiomyocytes (CMs) from pediatric HCM patients harboring single variants in MYH7 (V606M; R453C), MYBPC3 (G148R) or digenic variants (MYBPC3 P955fs, TNNI3 A157V). We also generate CMs harboring MYBPC3 mono- and biallelic variants using CRISPR editing of a healthy control. Compared with isogenic and healthy controls, variant-positive CMs show sarcomere disorganization, higher contractility, calcium transients, and ATPase activity. However, only MYH7 and biallelic MYBPC3 variant-positive CMs show stronger myosin-actin binding. Targeted myosin ATPase inhibitors show complete rescue of the phenotype in variant-positive CMs and in cardiac Biowires to mirror isogenic controls. The response is superior to verapamil or metoprolol. Myosin inhibitors can be effective in genotypically diverse HCM highlighting the need for myosin inhibitor drug trials in pediatric HCM.

Abstract
Background Diabetic cardiomyopathy is one common cardiovascular complication without effective treatments. Dihydromyricetin (DHY), a natural dihydroflavonol compound extracted from Ampelopsis grossedentata, possesses versatile pharmacologically important effects. In our current research, we planned to evaluate the impact and probable DHY mechanisms in high glucose (HG)-induced cardiomyocytes. Methods Primary cardiomyocytes were pretreated with different concentrations of DHY (0, 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 μM) for various time (0, 1, 2, 4, 12, and 24 h). They were then stimulated for 48 h with 5.5 mmol/L normal glucose (NG) and 33.3 mmol/L high glucose (HG). Cell viability, adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) levels, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release of cardiomyocytes were detected. JC-1 staining was employed to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential. MitoSOX staining and dihydroethidium (DHE) staining were applied to evaluate the oxidative stress levels. TDT mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to measure apoptotic levels. Expressions of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), phospholamban (PLB), optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), caspase 3, mixed kinase lineage domain like protein (MLKL), receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), and receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) were detected by immunofluorescence and/or Western blot. Results DHY improved cell viability, enhanced ATP level, and decreased LDH content in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes, suggesting DHY attenuating cell injury. DHY reduced number of TUNEL positive cells, inhibited RIPK3 and cleaved-caspase 3 expression, implying DHY alleviated necroptosis in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes. DHY diminished JC-1 monomers, DHE and MitoSOX fluorescence intensity as well as DRP1 expression but increased JC-1 aggregates intensity and OPA1 expression, indicating that DHY attenuated oxidative stress in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes. DHY also attenuated CaMKII activity by suppressed PLB phosphorylation and inhibited CaMKII oxidation in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes. Conclusions HG-induced cardiomyocytes injury was alleviated wherein DHY attenuated necroptosis, repressed ROS production, and inhibited CaMKII oxidation, suggesting that DHY may serve as potential agent to prevent and treat diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Enzymatic dissociation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into single cells during routine passage leads to massive cell death. Although the Rho-associated protein kinase inhibitor, Y-27632 can enhance hPSC survival and proliferation at high seeding density, dissociated single cells undergo apoptosis at clonal density. This presents a major hurdle when deriving genetically modified hPSC lines since transfection and genome editing efficiencies are not satisfactory. As a result, colonies tend to contain heterogeneous mixtures of both modified and unmodified cells, making it difficult to isolate the desired clone buried within the colony. In this study, we report improved clonal expansion of hPSCs using a retinoic acid analogue, TTNPB. When combined with Y-27632, TTNPB synergistically increased hPSC cloning efficiency by more than 2 orders of magnitude (0.2% to 20%), whereas TTNPB itself increased more than double cell number expansion compared to Y-27632. Furthermore, TTNPB-treated cells showed two times higher aggregate formation and cell proliferation compared to Y-27632 in suspension culture. TTNPB-treated cells displayed a normal karyotype, pluripotency and were able to stochastically differentiate into all three germ layers both in vitro and in vivo. TTNBP acts, in part, by promoting cellular adhesion and self-renewal through the upregulation of Claudin 2 and HoxA1. By promoting clonal expansion, TTNPB provides a new approach for isolating and expanding pure hPSCs for future cell therapy applications.

Abstract
A complete telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome has been a longstanding goal in the field of genomic research. By integrating high-coverage and precise long-read sequencing data using multiple assembly strategies, we present here the first T2T gap-free genome assembly of Ganoderma leucocontextum strain GL72, a Tibetan medicinal mushroom. The T2T genome, with a size of 46.69 Mb, consists 13 complete nuclear chromosomes and typical telomeric repeats (CCCTAA)n were detected at both ends of 13 chromosomes. The high mapping rate, uniform genome coverage, a complete BUSCOs of 99.7%, and base accuracy exceeding 99.999% indicate that this assembly represents the highest level of completeness and quality. Regions characterized by distinct structural attributes, including highest Hi-C interaction intensity, high repeat content, decreased gene density, low GC content, and minimal or no transcription levels across all chromosomes may represent potential centromeres. Sequence analysis revealed the first Copia centromeric retrotransposon in macro-fungi genome. Phylogenomic analysis identified that G. leucocontextum and G. tsugae diverged from the other Ganoderma species approximately 9.8-17.9 MYA. The prediction of secondary metabolic clusters confirmed the capability of this fungus to produce a substantial quantity of metabolites. This T2T gap-free genome will contribute to the genomic 'dark matter' elucidation and server as a great reference for genetics, genomics, and evolutionary studies of G. leucocontextum.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease caused by disorders of insulin secretion and utilization. Long-term hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism cause vascular endothelial cell damage. Endothelial dysfunction is a key feature of diabetic vascular complications such as diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and atherosclerosis. Importantly, cell death is thought to be a key factor contributing to vascular endothelial injury. Morphologically, cell death can be divided into three forms: type I apoptosis, type II autophagy, and type III necrosis. According to the difference in function, cell death can be divided into accidental cell death (ACD) and regulated cell death (RCD). RCD is a controlled process involving numerous proteins and precise signaling cascades. Multiple subroutines covered by RCD may be involved in diabetic endothelial dysfunction, including apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, pyroptosis, entosis, ferroptosis, ferroautophagy, parthanatos, netotic cell death, lysosome-dependent cell death, alkaliptosis, oxeiptosis, cuproptosis, and PANoptosis. This article briefly reviews the mechanism and significance of cell death associated with diabetic endothelial dysfunction, which will help deepen the understanding of diabetic endothelial cell death and provide new therapeutic ideas.

Abstract
Significance: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is considered to be a gasotransmitter along with carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO), and is known as a key regulator of physiological and pathological activities. S-sulfhydration (also known as persulfidation), a mechanism involving the formation of protein persulfides by modification of cysteine residues, is proposed here to explain the multiple biological functions of H2S. Investigating the properties of protein persulfides can provide a foundation for further understanding of the potential functions of H2S. Recent Advances: Multiple methods have been developed to determine the level of protein persulfides. It has been demonstrated that protein persulfidation is involved in many biological processes through various mechanisms including the regulation of ion channels, enzymes, and transcription factors, as well as influencing protein-protein interactions. Critical Issues: Some technical and theoretical questions remain to be solved. These include how to improve the specificity of the detection methods for protein persulfidation, why persulfidation typically occurs on one or a few thiols within a protein, how this modification alters protein functions, and whether protein persulfidation has organ-specific patterns. Future Directions: Optimizing the detection methods and elucidating the properties and molecular functions of protein persulfidation would be beneficial for current therapeutics. In this review, we introduce the detailed mechanism of the persulfidation process and discuss persulfidation detection methods. In addition, this review summarizes recent discoveries of the selectivity of protein persulfidation and the regulation of protein functions and cell signaling pathways by persulfidation. Antioxid.

Abstract
Fungal disease of mushroomCordyceps militaris (CM) caused byCalcarisporium cordycipiticola (CC) is destructive to fruiting body cultivation, resulting in significant economic loss and potential food safety risks. CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing has proven to be a powerful tool for crop improvement but seldom succeeded in mushrooms. Here, the first genomic safe-harbor site, CmSH1 locus, was identified in the CM genome. A safe-harbor-targeted CRISPR/Cas9 system based on an autonomously replicating plasmid was designed to facilitate alien gene integration at the CmSH1 locus. Cmhyd1, one of the hydrophobin genes, was confirmed as a defensive factor against CC infection, and Cmhyd1 overexpression by this system showed enhancement of disease resistance with negligible effect on the agronomic traits of CM. No off-target events and residues of plasmid sequence were tested by PCR and genome resequencing. This study provided the first safe harbor site for genetic manipulations, a safe harbor-targeted CRISPR/Cas9 system, and the first disease-resistant gene-editing breeding system in mushrooms.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one serious and common complication in diabetes without effective treatments. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) fights against a variety of cardiovascular diseases including DCM. Retinoic acid-related orphan receptor α (RORα) has protective effects on cardiovascular system. However, whether RORα mediates the protective effect of H2S against DCM remains unknown. The present research was to explore the roles and mechanisms of RORα in H2S against DCM. The study demonstrated that H2S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) alleviated cell injury but enhanced RORα expression in high glucose (HG)-stimulated cardiomyocytes. However, NaHS no longer had the protective effect on attenuating cell damage and oxidative stress, improving mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibiting necroptosis and enhanced signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) Ser727 phosphorylation in HG-stimulated cardiomyocytes after RORα siRNA transfection. Moreover, NaHS improved cardiac function, attenuated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis, alleviated oxidative stress, inhibited necroptosis, but increased STAT3 phosphorylation in wild type (WT) mice but not in RORα knockout mice (a spontaneous staggerer mice, sg/sg mice) with diabetes. Additionally, NaHS increased RORα promoter activity in cardiomyocytes with HG stimulation, which was related to the binding sites of E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) in the upstream region of RORα promoter. NaHS enhanced E2F1 expression and increased the binding of E2F1 to RORα promoter in cardiomyocytes with HG stimulation. In sum, H2S promoted RORα transcription via E2F1 to alleviate necroptosis and protect against DCM. It is helpful to propose a novel therapeutic implication for DCM.

Abstract
High blood pressure (BP) is the major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic variants for BP, but functional insights into causality and related molecular mechanisms lag behind. We functionally characterize 4,608 genetic variants in linkage with 135 BP loci in vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes by massively parallel reporter assays. High densities of regulatory variants at BP loci (i.e., ULK4, MAP4, CFDP1, PDE5A) indicate that multiple variants drive genetic association. Regulatory variants are enriched in repeats, alter cardiovascular-related transcription factor motifs, and spatially converge with genes controlling specific cardiovascular pathways. Using heuristic scoring, we define likely causal variants, and CRISPR prime editing finally determines causal variants for KCNK9, SFXN2, and PCGF6, which are candidates for developing high BP. Our systems-level approach provides a catalog of functionally relevant variants and their genomic architecture in two trait-relevant cell lines for a better understanding of BP gene regulation.

Abstract
The ICARUS collaboration employed the 760-ton T600 detector in a successful 3-year physics run at the underground LNGS laboratory, performing a sensitive search for LSND-like anomalous ν e appearance in the CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso beam, which contributed to the constraints on the allowed neutrino oscillation parameters to a narrow region around 1 eV2 . After a significant overhaul at CERN, the T600 detector has been installed at Fermilab. In 2020 the cryogenic commissioning began with detector cool down, liquid argon filling and recirculation. ICARUS then started its operations collecting the first neutrino events from the booster neutrino beam (BNB) and the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam off-axis, which were used to test the ICARUS event selection, reconstruction and analysis algorithms. ICARUS successfully completed its commissioning phase in June 2022. The first goal of the ICARUS data taking will be a study to either confirm or refute the claim by Neutrino-4 short-baseline reactor experiment. ICARUS will also perform measurement of neutrino cross sections with the NuMI beam and several Beyond Standard Model searches. After the first year of operations, ICARUS will search for evidence of sterile neutrinos jointly with the Short-Baseline Near Detector, within the Short-Baseline Neutrino program. In this paper, the main activities carried out during the overhauling and installation phases are highlighted. Preliminary technical results from the ICARUS commissioning data with the BNB and NuMI beams are presented both in terms of performance of all ICARUS subsystems and of capability to select and reconstruct neutrino events.

Abstract
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important driving force for virulence evolution of pathogens, however, functions of these transferred genes are still not fully investigated. Here, an HGT effector, CcCYT was reported to contribute to virulence of a mycoparasite, Calcarisporium cordycipiticola to the host Cordyceps militaris, an important mushroom. Cccyt was predicted to be horizontally transferred from Actinobacteria ancestor by phylogenetic, synteny, GC content and codon usage pattern analyses. The transcript of Cccyt was sharply up-regulated at the early stage of infecting C. militaris. This effector was localized to the cell wall and contributed to the virulence of C. cordycipiticola without affecting its morphology, mycelial growth, conidiation, and resistance to abiotic stress. CcCYT can firstly bind the septa, and finally cytoplasm of the deformed hyphal cells of C. militaris. Pull-down assay coupled mass spectrometry revealed that proteins with which CcCYT interacted were related to protein process, folding and degradation. GST-Pull down assay confirmed that C. cordycipiticola effector CcCYT can interact with host protein CmHSP90 to inhibit the immune response of host. The results provided functional evidence that HGT is an important driving force for the virulence evolution and will be helpful for revealing the interaction between mycoparasite and mushroom host.

Abstract
Dihydromyricetin (DHY), the main flavonoid component in Ampelopsis grossedentata, has important benefits for health. The present study aimed to investigate the exact effects and possible mechanisms of DHY on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Male C57BL/6 mice and sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) knockout (SIRT3-KO) mice were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) to induce a diabetic model. Two weeks later, DHY (250 mg/kg) or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were administrated once daily by gavage for twelve weeks. We found that DHY alleviated fasting blood glucose (FBG) and triglyceride (TG) as well as glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels; increased fasting insulin (FINS); improved cardiac dysfunction; ameliorated myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis and injury; suppressed oxidative stress, inflammasome and necroptosis; but improved SIRT3 expression in STZ-induced mice. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were pre-treated with DHY (80 μM) with or without high glucose (HG) stimulation. The results showed that DHY attenuated cell damage but improved SIRT3 expression and inhibited oxidative stress, inflammasome and necroptosis in cardiomyocytes with high glucose stimulation. Moreover, the above protective effects of DHY on DCM were unavailable in SIRT3-KO mice, implying a promising medical potential of DHY for DCM treatment. In sum, DHY improved cardiac dysfunction; ameliorated myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis and injury; and suppressed oxidative stress, inflammation and necroptosis via SIRT3 activation in STZ-induced diabetic mice, suggesting DHY may serve as a candidate for an agent to attenuate diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the associations between internet addiction, screen time (computer/mobile devices use and television watching time) and depressive symptoms in adults. Methods: A total of 6 932 adults aged <60 years from the Tianjin Chronic Low-grade Sgstemic Inflammation and Health (TCLSIH) Cohort of 2013-2019 were surveyed. The information about their computer/mobile devices use and television watching time were collected by using a self-reported questionnaire. The depressive symptoms were assessed using the self-rating depression scale (SDS). The adults surveyed were divided into two groups: non-depressive symptom group (SDS score <45) and depressive symptom group (SDS score ≥45). The associations between internet addiction, screen time and depressive symptoms were estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression models, with adjusting for multiple confounders. Results: After adjusting for confounding factors, the hazard ratios (HRs) of depressive symptom in the adults who had internet addiction before, had light internet addiction and had moderate or severe internet addiction were 0.83 (95%CI: 0.56-1.23) , 1.20 (95%CI: 1.03-1.41) for light and 1.48 (95%CI: 1.16-1.89), respectively, compared with those without internet addiction. The linear trend test results of the association between internet addiction and depressive symptoms was significant (trend P<0.001). Compared with the adults who used computer/mobile devices for <1 hour/day, the HRs of depressive symptoms in those who used computer/mobile devices for >1 hour, >3 hours, >5 hours and >10 hours were 0.59 (95%CI: 0.40-0.88), 0.58 (95%CI: 0.40-0.85), 0.52 (95%CI: 0.36-0.76) and 0.69 (95%CI: 0.45-1.05) respectively, a U-shaped association was found between computer/mobile devices use time and depressive symptoms (trend P<0.001). Compared with the adults who never watch TV, the HR of depressive symptoms was 1.36 (95%CI:1.09-1.69) for those watching TV for ≥3 hours/day in crude model and 1.34 (95%CI: 1.07-1.68) for those watching TV for ≥3 hours/day in adjusted model (trend P<0.001). Conclusion: Our findings suggested that internet addiction and television watching time were associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms, while computer/mobile device use time was associated with a reduced risk of depressive symptoms.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the power source of living cells and implicated in the oxidative metabolism. However, the effect of mitochondria on breeding is usually ignored in conventional research. In this study, the effect of mitochondria on Ganoderma lucidum morphology, yield, and main primary bioactive components was analyzed via structuring and comparing isonuclear alloplasmic strains. The crucial biological pathways were then explored based on the transcriptome. The results showed that isonuclear alloplasmic exhibited difference in mycelial growth rate in potato dextrose agar medium (PDA), basidiospore yield, and polysaccharide and triterpenoid content. Otherwise, mitochondria did not change colony and fruit body morphology, mushroom yield, or mycelial growth rate in solid-state fermentation cultivation material. The transcriptome data of two significant isonuclear alloplasmic strains S1 and S5 revealed that the involvement of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was mainly in pentose and glucuronate interconversions, starch and sucrose metabolism, and steroid biosynthesis. The result was further confirmed by the other isonuclear alloplasmic strains. The above results further proved that mitochondria could affect the active components of G. lucidum. Our results provide information which will contribute to understanding of mitochondria and will be helpful for breeding improved varieties.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Adverse cardiovascular events have day/night patterns with peaks in the morning, potentially related to endogenous circadian clock control of platelet activation. Circadian nuclear receptor Rev-erbα is an essential and negative component of the circadian clock.
Purpose
We aim to investigate the expression profile and biological function of Rev-erbα in platelets.
Methods and results
Here we report the presence and functions of circadian nuclear receptor Rev-erbα in human and mouse platelets. Both human and mouse platelet Rev-erbα showed a circadian rhythm that positively correlated with platelet aggregation. Global Rev-erbα knockout and platelet-specific Rev-erbα knockout mice exhibited defective in hemostasis as assessed by prolonged tail-bleeding times. Rev-erbα deletion also reduced ferric chloride-induced carotid arterial occlusive thrombosis, prevented collagen/epinephrine-induced pulmonary thromboembolism, and protected against microvascular microthrombi obstruction and infarct expansion in an acute myocardial infarction model. In vitro thrombus formation assessed by CD41-labeled platelet fluorescence intensity was significantly reduced in Rev-erbα knockout mouse blood. Platelets from Rev-erbα knockout mice exhibited impaired agonist-induced aggregation responses, integrin αIIbβ3 activation and α-granule release. Consistently, pharmacological inhibition of Rev-erbα by specific antagonists decreased platelet activation markers in both mouse and human platelets. Mechanistically, mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation analyses revealed that Rev-erbα potentiated platelet activation via oligophrenin-1-mediated RhoA/ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) pathway.
Conclusion
We provide the first evidence that circadian protein Rev-erbα is functionally expressed in platelets and potentiates platelet activation and thrombus formation. Rev-erbα may serve as a novel therapeutic target for managing thrombosis-based cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Cordyceps militaris is a popular edible fungus with important economic value worldwide. In this study, an efficient CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing system based on an autonomously replicating plasmid with an AMA1 sequence was constructed. Further, a precisely targeted gene deletion via homology-directed repair was effectively introduced in C. militaris. Gene editing was successful, with efficiencies of 55.1% and 89% for Cmwc-1 and Cmvvd, respectively. Precisely targeted gene deletion was achieved at an efficiency of 73.9% by a single guide RNA supplementation with donor DNAs. Double genes, Cmwc-1 and Cmvvd, were edited simultaneously with an efficiency of 10%. Plasmid loss was observed under non-selective culture conditions, which could permit recycling of the selectable marker and avoid the adverse effects of the CRISPR/Cas9 system on the fungus, which is beneficial for the generation of new cultivars. RNA Pol III promoters, endogenous tRNAPro of C. militaris, and chimeric AfU6-tRNAGly can be used to improve the efficiency. Polyethylene glycol-mediated protoplast transformation was markedly more efficient than Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of C. militaris. To our knowledge, this is the first description of genome editing and precisely targeted gene deletion in mushrooms based on AMA1 plasmids. Our findings will enable the modification of multiple genes in both functional genomics research and strain breeding.

Abstract
Fucosylation is a common glycan terminal modification, which has been reported to be inhibited by 2-fluorofucose (2FF) both in vivo and in vitro. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of 2FF on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver injury, and further clarified the possible mechanisms. In the present study, inhibition of fucosylation by 2FF relieved APAP-induced acute liver injury in vivo. Pretreatment with 2FF remarkably suppressed APAP-induced oxidative stress and mitochondria damage. 2FF markedly enhanced the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and simultaneously promoted the expression of downstream proteins including HO-1 and NQO1. Furthermore, pretreatment with 2FF significantly suppressed the expression of inflammation-associated proteins, such as COX2 and iNOS. The data from lectin blot assay revealed that the alteration of α1,6-fucosylation was involved in APAP-induced acute liver injury. The second part of this study further confirmed that the enhancements to antioxidant capacity of 2FF pretreatment and α1,6-fucose deficiency were related to Nrf2/keap1 and NF-κB signaling pathways in HepG2 cells. Taken together, the current study suggested that 2FF might have a potential therapeutic effect for APAP-induced acute liver injury.

Abstract
DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6 × 6 × 6 m 3 liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LArTPC) that recorded cosmic-muon data at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the DUNE Far Detector. Charged particles propagating through the LArTPC produce ionization and scintillation light. The scintillation light signal in these detectors can provide the trigger for non-beam events. In addition, it adds precise timing capabilities and improves the calorimetry measurements. In ProtoDUNE-DP, scintillation and electroluminescence light produced by cosmic muons in the LArTPC is collected by photomultiplier tubes placed up to 7 m away from the ionizing track. In this paper, the ProtoDUNE-DP photon detection system performance is evaluated with a particular focus on the different wavelength shifters, such as PEN and TPB, and the use of Xe-doped LAr, considering its future use in giant LArTPCs. The scintillation light production and propagation processes are analyzed and a comparison of simulation to data is performed, improving understanding of the liquid argon properties.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathy (CMP) is a heritable disorder. Over 50% of cases are gene-elusive on clinical gene panel testing. The contribution of variants in non-coding DNA elements that result in cryptic splicing and regulate gene expression has not been explored. We analyzed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data in a discovery cohort of 209 pediatric CMP patients and 1953 independent replication genomes and exomes. We searched for protein-coding variants, and non-coding variants predicted to affect the function or expression of genes. Thirty-nine percent of cases harbored pathogenic coding variants in known CMP genes, and 5% harbored high-risk loss-of-function (LoF) variants in additional candidate CMP genes. Fifteen percent harbored high-risk regulatory variants in promoters and enhancers of CMP genes (odds ratio 2.25, p = 6.70 × 10-7 versus controls). Genes involved in α-dystroglycan glycosylation (FKTN, DTNA) and desmosomal signaling (DSC2, DSG2) were most highly enriched for regulatory variants (odds ratio 6.7-58.1). Functional effects were confirmed in patient myocardium and reporter assays in human cardiomyocytes, and in zebrafish CRISPR knockouts. We provide strong evidence for the genomic contribution of functionally active variants in new genes and in regulatory elements of known CMP genes to early onset CMP.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy lacks effective and novel methods. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as the third gasotransmitter plays an important role in the cardiovascular system. Our study was to elucidate the protective effect and possible mechanism of H2S on diabetic cardiomyopathy from the perspective of necroptosis. Leptin receptor deficiency (db/db) mice and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) knockout (KO) mice were investigated. In addition, cardiomyocytes were stimulated with high glucose. We found that plasma H2S level, myocardial H2S production and CSE mRNA expression was impaired in the diabetic mice. CSE deficiency exacerbated diabetic cardiomyopathy, and promoted myocardial oxidative stress, necroptosis and inflammasome in STZ-induced mice. CSE inhibitor dl-propargylglycine (PAG) aggravated cell damage and oxidative stress, deteriorated necroptosis and inflammasome in cardiomyocytes with high glucose stimulation. H2S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) improved diabetic cardiomyopathy, attenuated myocardial oxidative stress, necroptosis and the NLR family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) in db/db mice. NaHS also alleviated cell damage, oxidative stress, necroptosis and inflammasome in cardiomyocytes with high glucose stimulation. In Conclusion, H2S deficiency aggravated mitochondrial damage, increased reactive oxygen species accumulation, promoted necroptosis, activated NLRP3 inflammasome, and finally exacerbated diabetic cardiomyopathy. Exogenous H2S supplementation alleviated necroptosis to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation and attenuate diabetic cardiomyopathy via mitochondrial dysfunction improvement and oxidative stress inhibition. Our study provides the first evidence and a new mechanism that necroptosis inhibition by a pharmacological manner of H2S administration protected against diabetic cardiomyopathy. It is beneficial to provide a novel strategy for the prevention and treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Stropharia rugosoannulata is not only a popular edible mushroom, but also has excellent potential in bioremediation. In this study, we present a high-quality genome of a monokaryotic strain of the S. rugosoannulata commercial cultivar in China. The assembly yielded an N50 length of 2.96 Mb and a total size of approximately 48.33 Mb, encoding 11,750 proteins. The number of heme peroxidase-encoding genes in the genome of S. rugosoannulata was twice the average of all of the tested Agaricales. The genes encoding lignin and xenobiotic degradation enzymes accounted for more than half of the genes encoding plant cell wall degradation enzymes. The expansion of genes encoding lignin and xenobiotic degradation enzymes, and cytochrome P450 involved in the xenobiotic metabolism, were responsible for its strong bioremediation and lignin degradation abilities. S. rugosoannulata was classified as a litter-decomposing (LD) fungus, based on the analysis of the cell wall degrading enzymes. Substrate selection for fruiting body cultivation should consider both the nutritional strategy of LD and a strong lignin degradation ability. Consistent with safe usage as an edible mushroom, the S. rugosoannulata genome does not contain genes for known psilocybin biosynthesis. Genome analysis will be helpful for understanding its nutritional strategy to guide fruiting body cultivation and for providing insight into its application in bioremediation.

Abstract
Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) is involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell metabolism, apoptosis and inflammation. However, the exact role of SIRT3 in macrophages during pathophysiological process of atherosclerosis remains unclear. The present study was to investigate the possible effects and mechanisms of SIRT3 on lipid uptake and foam cells transforming in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-stimulated macrophages. Compared with wild-type (WT) mice, SIRT3 deficiency further increased foam cell formation and cellular cholesterol accumulation, exacerbated oxidative stress, impaired mitochondrial permeability potential, decreased optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) but enhanced dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) expression, and promoted NLR family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) activation in ox-LDL-stimulated macrophages from SIRT3 knockout (KO) mice. Dihydromyricetin (DMY), a potential compound to enhance SIRT3 expression, significantly inhibited cellular cholesterol accumulation, suppressed foam cell formation, improved mitochondrial function, attenuated oxidative stress, and alleviated NLRP3 activation in ox-LDL-stimulated macrophages. Moreover, above protective effects of DMY was unavailable in macrophages from SIRT3 KO mice. Collectively, the study demonstrated the protective role of SIRT3 against oxidative stress and NLRP3 inflammasome in cholesterol accumulation and foam cell formation of macrophages with ox-LDL-stimulation, which is beneficial to provide novel strategy for atherosclerosis prevention and treatment.

Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond the Standard Model (BSM) topics DUNE will probe, this paper presents a selection of studies quantifying DUNE's sensitivities to sterile neutrino mixing, heavy neutral leptons, non-standard interactions, CPT symmetry violation, Lorentz invariance violation, neutrino trident production, dark matter from both beam induced and cosmogenic sources, baryon number violation, and other new physics topics that complement those at high-energy colliders and significantly extend the present reach.

Abstract
Background Despite known clinical risk factors, predicting anthracycline cardiotoxicity remains challenging. Objectives This study sought to develop a clinical and genetic risk prediction model for anthracycline cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors. Methods We performed exome sequencing in 289 childhood cancer survivors at least 3 years from anthracycline exposure. In a nested case-control design, 183 case patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction despite low-dose doxorubicin (≤250 mg/m2), and 106 control patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction despite doxorubicin >250 mg/m2 were selected as extreme phenotypes. Rare/low-frequency variants were collapsed to identify genes differentially enriched for variants between case patients and control patients. The expression levels of 5 top-ranked genes were evaluated in human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes, and variant enrichment was confirmed in a replication cohort. Using random forest, a risk prediction model that included genetic and clinical predictors was developed. Results Thirty-one genes were differentially enriched for variants between case patients and control patients (p < 0.001). Only 42.6% case patients harbored a variant in these genes compared to 89.6% control patients (odds ratio: 0.09; 95% confidence interval: 0.04 to 0.17; p = 3.98 × 10–15). A risk prediction model for cardiotoxicity that included clinical and genetic factors had a higher prediction accuracy and lower misclassification rate compared to the clinical-only model. In vitro inhibition of gene-associated pathways (PI3KR2, ZNF827) provided protection from cardiotoxicity in cardiomyocytes. Conclusions Our study identified variants in cardiac injury pathway genes that protect against cardiotoxicity and informed the development of a prediction model for delayed anthracycline cardiotoxicity, and it also provided new targets in autophagy genes for the development of cardio-protective drugs.

Abstract
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from healthy individuals are important controls for disease-modeling studies. Here we apply precision health to create a high-quality resource of control iPSCs. Footprint-free lines were reprogrammed from four volunteers of the Personal Genome Project Canada (PGPC). Multilineage-directed differentiation efficiently produced functional cortical neurons, cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes. Pilot users demonstrated versatility by generating kidney organoids, T lymphocytes, and sensory neurons. A frameshift knockout was introduced into MYBPC3 and these cardiomyocytes exhibited the expected hypertrophic phenotype. Whole-genome sequencing-based annotation of PGPC lines revealed on average 20 coding variants. Importantly, nearly all annotated PGPC and HipSci lines harbored at least one pre-existing or acquired variant with cardiac, neurological, or other disease associations. Overall, PGPC lines were efficiently differentiated by multiple users into cells from six tissues for disease modeling, and variant-preferred healthy control lines were identified for specific disease settings.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association between the number of teeth missed and the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 26 983 adults from Tianjin Chronic Low-grade Systemic Inflammation and Health Cohort Study. The number of teeth missed (excluding third molars) was recorded and classified into four categories: 0, 1-, 3- and ≥6. NAFLD was diagnosed by at least two liver ultrasonography examinations. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to access the association between the number of missed teeth and NAFLD in adults. Results: The overall prevalence of NAFLD was 7 270 and the number of the subjects with at least one tooth missed was 9 667. The multivariable-adjusted ORs (95%CI) of NAFLD across the categories of tooth missing (0, 1-, 3- and ≥6) were as follows: 1.00, 1.04 (0.93-1.15), 1.08 (0.93-1.26) and 1.38 (1.09-1.76) (trend test P=0.030) in males; 1.00, 0.96 (0.82-1.12), 1.11 (0.91-1.35) and 1.22 (0.90-1.64) (trend test P=0.450) in females. Conclusion: The number of missed teeth was positively associated with a higher prevalence rate of NAFLD in males with over 6 teeth missed, but not in females.

Abstract
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) plays a vital role in several dermatological diseases. However, the role and detailed mechanism of SIRT3 in diabetic wound healing are unknown well yet. To explore possible involvement of SIRT3 and necroptosis in diabetic skin wound healing, SIRT3 knockout (KO) mice and 129S1/SvImJ wild‐type (WT) mice were injected with streptozotocin (STZ), and mice skin fibroblasts were exposed to high glucose (HG). It was found that SIRT3 expression decreased in the skin of diabetic patients. SIRT3 deficiency delayed healing rate, reduced blood supply and vascular endothelial growth factor expression, promoted superoxide production, increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, decreased total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC), reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and aggravated ultrastructure disorder in skin wound of diabetic mice. SIRT3 deficiency inhibited mice skin fibroblasts migration with HG stimulation, which was restored by SIRT3 overexpression. SIRT3 deficiency also suppressed α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA) expression, enhanced superoxide production but decreased mitochondrial membrane potential with HG stimulation after scratch. SIRT3 deficiency further elevated receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), RIPK1 and caspase 3 expression both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, SIRT3 deficiency delayed skin wound healing in diabetes, the mechanism might be related to impaired mitochondria function, enhanced oxidative stress and increased necroptosis. This may provide a novel therapeutic target to accelerate diabetic skin wound healing.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by abnormalities of myocardial structure and function. Researches on the models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as the application of genetic engineering technology help in understanding the molecular mechanism of DCM. DCM has multiple hallmarks, including hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, increased free radical production, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction, and cell death. Essentially, cell death is considered to be the terminal pathway of cardiomyocytes during DCM. Morphologically, cell death can be classified into four different forms: apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, and entosis. Apoptosis, as type I cell death, is the fastest form of cell death and mainly occurs depending on the caspase proteolytic cascade. Autophagy, as type II cell death, is a degradation process to remove damaged proteins, dysfunctional organelles and commences by the formation of autophagosome. Necrosis is type III cell death, which contains a great diversity of cell death processes, such as necroptosis and pyroptosis. Entosis is type IV cell death, displaying “cell-in-cell” cytological features and requires the engulfing cells to execute. There are also some other types of cell death such as ferroptosis, parthanatos, netotic cell death, lysosomal dependent cell death, alkaliptosis or oxeiptosis, which are possibly involved in DCM. Drugs or compounds targeting the signals involved in cell death have been used in clinics or experiments to treat DCM. This review briefly summarizes the mechanisms and implications of cell death in DCM, which is beneficial to improve the understanding of cell death in DCM and may propose novel and ideal strategies in future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND S-nitrosylation (SNO), a prototypic redox-based posttranslational modification, is involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine the role of SNO of MLP (muscle LIM protein) in myocardial hypertrophy, as well as the mechanism by which SNO-MLP modulates hypertrophic growth in response to pressure overload. METHODS Myocardial samples from patients and animal models exhibiting myocardial hypertrophy were examined for SNO-MLP level using biotin-switch methods. SNO sites were further identified through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Denitrosylation of MLP by the mutation of nitrosylation sites or overexpression of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase was used to analyze the contribution of SNO-MLP in myocardial hypertrophy. Downstream effectors of SNO-MLP were screened through mass spectrometry and confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation. Recruitment of TLR3 (Toll-like receptor 3) by SNO-MLP in myocardial hypertrophy was examined in TLR3 small interfering RNA-transfected neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and in a TLR3 knockout mouse model. RESULTS SNO-MLP level was significantly higher in hypertrophic myocardium from patients and in spontaneously hypertensive rats and mice subjected to transverse aortic constriction. The level of SNO-MLP also increased in angiotensin II- or phenylephrine-treated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. S-nitrosylated site of MLP at cysteine 79 was identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and confirmed in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Mutation of cysteine 79 significantly reduced hypertrophic growth in angiotensin II- or phenylephrine-treated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and transverse aortic constriction mice. Reducing SNO-MLP level by overexpression of S-nitrosoglutathione reductase greatly attenuated myocardial hypertrophy. Mechanistically, SNO-MLP stimulated TLR3 binding to MLP in response to hypertrophic stimuli, and disrupted this interaction by downregulating TLR3-attenuated myocardial hypertrophy. SNO-MLP also increased the complex formation between TLR3 and RIP3 (receptor-interacting protein kinase 3). This interaction in turn induced NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3) inflammasome activation, thereby promoting the development of myocardial hypertrophy. CONCLUSIONS Our findings revealed a key role of SNO-MLP in myocardial hypertrophy and demonstrated TLR3-mediated RIP3 and NLRP3 inflammasome activation as the downstream signaling pathway, which may represent a therapeutic target for myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics of levels related to the risk through self-evaluation system, among MSM users in Guangzhou, between 2015 and 2017. Methods: Between 2015 and 2017, data was collected from the users of a self-evaluation system network related to HIV infection, based on the previous 'HIV health risk appraisal model'. Information on risk factors was collected to calculate the scores and levels of risks and to estimate the incidence of HIV. Taking the reference of R value on risks as (R=0.9-1.1) in general population. The ones with very low risk, with low risk, moderate risk, high risk and very high risk were set as R≤0.5, 0.5<R≤0.9, 0.9<R≤1.1, 1.1< R≤2.0 and R>2.0, respectively. The scores of modifiable risk factors were compared with different subgroups of MSM. Results: A total of 4 601 MSM were involved in this study, with the following features presented as: aged 16-64 (28.38±7.11) years, proportions of residence from Guangzhou, Guangdong province or other provinces as 38.6%(1 776/4 601)、35.4%(1 629/4 601) and 26.0%(1 197/4 601), 59.6%(2 742/4 601) received bachelor or above degrees. 81.3%(3 741/4 601) of them claimed as having homosexual orientation. R values of risk level on very low risk, low risk level, moderate risk, high risk and very high risk appeared as 12.9%(594/4 601), 50.9%(2 342/4 601), 17.0%(783/4 601), 14.8%(682/4 601) and 4.3%(200/4 601), respectively. Scores of modifiable risk factors decreased year by year (P<0.05), among MSM in this study. In either of the groups that experiencing insertive or receptive sex, the ones with heterosexual orientation presented the highest scores of modifiable risk factors (P<0.05). Conclusions: The risk levels on HIV infections called for special attention among the users of the self-evaluation network system. Among the MSM that carrying either insertive or receptive sex role, the ones with heterosexual orientation had the highest risk levels and scores of modifiable risk factors in Guangzhou. Further study should be explored to better understand the causes of related risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is emerging as an important public health problem, and evidences have determined that poor sleep is associated with muscle strength, but the potential effects of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), snoring and witnessed apnea on handgrip strength have not been evaluated. AIM We aimed to examine the association between EDS, snoring, witnessed apnea and muscle strength in an adult population. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS This cross-sectional study comprised 19 434 adults. Handgrip strength was measured using a handheld digital dynamometer. EDS was assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale, snoring and witnessed apnea during sleep were reported through simple yes/no questions. Analysis of covariance was carried out to determine the association between EDS with snoring or witnessed apnea and muscle strength. RESULTS The means (95% confidence interval) for average handgrip strength/body weight (kg/kg) across symptoms categories were 0.396 (0.333-0.472), 0.393 (0.330-0.467), 0.396 (0.333-0.471) and 0.386 (0.325-0.460) (P < 0.0001), respectively. Similar results were observed with maximal handgrip strength/body weight (kg/kg). CONCLUSIONS Self-reported EDS accompanied with snoring or apnea is associated with lowest handgrip strength, independently of confounding factors. Whether improvement of EDS, snoring and apnea, can ameliorate age-associated decline in muscle strength warrants further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dilated cardiomyopathy with ataxia syndrome (DCMA) is an understudied autosomal recessive disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the poorly characterized gene DNAJC19. Clinically, DCMA is commonly associated with heart failure and early death in affected children through an unknown mechanism. DCMA has been linked to Barth syndrome, a rare but well-studied disorder caused by deficient maturation of cardiolipin (CL), a key mitochondrial membrane phospholipid. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 2 children with DCMA and severe cardiac dysfunction were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Patient and control iPSCs were differentiated into beating cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) using a metabolic selection strategy. Mitochondrial structure and CL content before and after incubation with the mitochondrially targeted peptide SS-31 were quantified. RESULTS Patient iPSCs carry the causative DNAJC19 mutation (rs137854888) found in the Hutterite population, and the iPSC-CMs demonstrated highly fragmented and abnormally shaped mitochondria associated with an imbalanced isoform ratio of the mitochondrial protein OPA1, an important regulator of mitochondrial fusion. These abnormalities were reversible by incubation with SS-31 for 24 hours. Differentiation of iPSCs into iPSC-CMs increased the number of CL species observed, but consistent, significant differences in CL content were not seen between patients and control. CONCLUSIONS We describe a unique and novel cellular model that provides insight into the mitochondrial abnormalities present in DCMA and identifies SS-31 as a potential therapeutic for this devastating disease.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulphide (H2 S) is an important gasotransmitter with several physiological functions. However, the roles and the detailed mechanisms of H2 S on skin wound healing are not known well. In the present study, 129S1/SvImJ mice were intraperitoneally injected with NaHS (50 μmol/kg/d) for 2 weeks. Then, a round wound of 6 mm diameter with depth into the dermis was made. The skin wound area, blood perfusion, superoxide production, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) were measured. After NaHS (50 μmol/L) pre-administration for 4 hours, cell migration rate, DRP1, OPA1 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression, superoxide production and mitochondrial membrane potential in primary skin fibroblasts were measured. Tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and cell migration in human keratinocytes were also measured. The results showed that NaHS pretreatment significantly accelerated wound healing and improved blood flow in the wound after operation. NaHS increased VEGF expression in the wound and promoted tube formation in HUVECs. Meanwhile, NaHS attenuated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, suppressed MDA level but restored T-AOC in the wound. NaHS also promoted skin fibroblasts migration and α-SMA expression after scratch. Moreover, NaHS alleviated ROS, increased mitochondrial membrane potential, decreased DRP1 but enhanced OPA1 expression in skin fibroblasts after scratch. NaHS also accelerated human keratinocytes migration after scratch. Taken together, exogenous H2 S supplementary accelerated the skin wound healing, which might be related to oxidative stress inhibition and VEGF enhancement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, its pathophysiology is poorly understood. Our previous study showed that hippocampal peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) overexpression displays antidepressive effect and enhances hippocampal neurogenesis during chronic stress. Herein, we further extended our curiosity to investigate whether downregulating PPARδ could cause depressive-like behaviors through downregulation of neurogenesis. METHODS Stereotaxic injection of lentiviral vector, expressing short hairpin RNA complementary to the coding exon of PPARδ, was done into the bilateral dentate gyri of the hippocampus, and the depression-like behaviors were observed in mice. Additionally, hippocampal neurogenesis, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and cAMP response element-binding protein were measured both in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS Hippocampal PPARδ knockdown caused depressive-like behaviors and significantly decreased neurogenesis, neuronal differentiation, levels of mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor and phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein in the hippocampus. In vitro study further confirmed that PPARδ knockdown could inhibit proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells. Furthermore, these effects were mimicked by repeated systemic administration of a PPARδ antagonist, GSK0660 (1 or 3 mg/kg i.p. for 21 d). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that downregulation of hippocampal PPARδ is associated with depressive behaviors in mice through an inhibitory effect on cAMP response element-binding protein/brain-derived neurotrophic factor-mediated adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, providing new insights into the pathogenesis of depression.

Abstract
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIδ (CaMKIIδ) plays a vital role in cardiovascular system. However, the potential protective role of inhibitor 1 of protein phosphatase 1 (I1PP1), which can regulate CaMKII, on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unknown. In the present study, expression of CaMKIIδ variants was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. I1PP1 was overexpressed by pericardial injection of recombinant adenovirus. Two weeks later, rats were subjected to left anterior descending ligation for 30 minutes followed by reperfusion. Myocardial infarct size was assessed by Evans blue/triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining. Serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity as well as myocardial pathological structure were detected. CaMKII activity was evaluated by phosphorylation of phospholamban (PLB) and oxidation of CaMKII. Expression of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) in the mitochondria was measured by Western blot. We found that CaMKIIδA and CaMKIIδB expression decreased, while the expression of CaMKIIδC increased after myocardial I/R. Moreover, after 30-minute ischemia followed by 6 hours of reperfusion, I1PP1 overexpression reduced myocardial infarct size, decreased serum CK and LDH activity, ameliorated myocardial pathological structure, inhibited PLB phosphorylation at Thr17, suppressed CaMKII oxidation, elevated CaMKIIδA and CaMKIIδB variants but reduced CaMKIIδC variants, attenuated myocardial oxidative stress, improved myocardial mitochondrial ultrastructure, increased mitochondrial number and mitochondrial DNA copy number, and decreased DRP1 but increased OPA1 protein expression from the mitochondria in rats. Thus, I1PP1 regulated CaMKII, protected mitochondrial function, reduced oxidative stress, and attenuated myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays an important role in the cardiovascular system. However, the potential protective role of inhibitor 1 of protein phosphatase 1 (I1PP1), which is able to regulate CaMKII, in high glucose-induced cardiomyocytes injury remains unknown. In the present study, cardiomyocytes were transfected with I1PP1 adenovirus to inhibit protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) expression. After the cardiomyocytes were subjected to high glucose stimulation for 48 h, quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect CaMKIIδ alternative splicing. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level were measured to assess cell damage and energy metabolism respectively. CaMKII activity was represented as phospholamban (PLB) phosphorylation, CaMKII phosphorylation (p-CaMKII) and oxidation (ox-CaMKII). Dihydroethidium (DHE), MitoSOX and JC-1 staining were used to assess oxidative stress and mitochondrial membrane potential. Necroptosis was evaluated by receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) expression, TUNEL and cleaved-caspase 3 levels. RIPK3, mixed lineage kinase domain like protein (MLKL) and dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) expressions were also detected. We found that high glucose disordered CaMKIIδ alternative splicing. I1PP1 over-expression suppressed PLB phosphorylation, ox-CaMKII, DRP1, RIPK3 and cleaved-caspase 3 proteins expression, decreased LDH release, attenuated necroptosis, increased ATP level, inhibited oxidative stress, and elevated mitochondrial membrane potential in high glucose-stimulated cardiomyocytes. However, there was no effect on phosphorylation of MLKL (p-MLKL), p-CaMKII, and receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) expression. Altogether, I1PP1 over-expression alleviated CaMKIIδ alternative splicing disorder, suppressed CaMKII oxidation, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and inhibited necroptosis to attenuate high glucose-induced cardiomyocytes injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cognitive impairment is the main character of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study mainly focused on whether mogrol, a tetracyclic triterpenoids compound of Siraitia grosvenorii Swingle, can ameliorate the memory impairment induced by Aβ1-42 . METHODS Memory impairment mice model was made by stereotactic intra-hippocampal microinjection of Aβ1-42 (410 pm/mouse). Mogrol (20, 40, 80 mg/kg) was given to mice by intragastric administration at 3 days after Aβ1-42 injection for totally 3 weeks. Morris water maze test and Y-maze test were operated to evaluate the therapeutic effect of morgrol on Aβ1-42 -induced memory impairments. Immunohistochemical analyses and Hoechst 33258 assay were used to evaluate effect of morgrol on Aβ1-42 -induced microglia overactivation and apoptotic response in hippocampus of mice. Western blotting assay was used to evaluate effect of mogrol on the Aβ1-42 -activated NF-κB signaling. KEY FINDINGS Mogrol could significantly alleviate Aβ1-42 -induced memory impairments, inhibit Aβ1-42 -induced microglia overactivation and prevent Aβ1-42 -triggered apoptotic response in the hippocampus. Mogrol also could suppress Aβ1-42 -activated NF-κB signaling, reduce the production of proinflammatory cytokines. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that mogrol would ameliorate the memory impairment induced by Aβ1-42 , which is involved in anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis in the brain.

Abstract
Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) plays an important role in maintaining normal mitochondrial function and alleviating oxidative stress. After carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 ) administration, the expression of SIRT3 decreased in the liver of mice, which indicated that the SIRT3 might play a crucial role during chemical-induced acute hepatic injury. To verify the hypothesis, CCl 4 was given to induce acute hepatic injury in SIRT3 knockout (KO) mice and wild-type (WT) mice. CCl 4 -induced liver injury was more severe in SIRT3 KO mice compared with the WT mice. In addition, the oxidative stress induced by CCl 4 was enhanced in the SIRT3 KO mice. Furthermore, the increased expression of dynamin-related protein 1 was also aggravated in SIRT3 KO mice after CCl 4 administration. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that SIRT3 deficiency exacerbated CCl 4 -induced impairment of the liver in mice, and the mechanism might be related to enhanced oxidative stress.

Abstract
As the most abundant natural flavonoid in rattan tea, dihydromyricetin (DMY) has shown a wide range of pharmacological effects. In addition to the general characteristics of flavonoids, DMY has the effects of cardioprotection, anti-diabetes, hepatoprotection, neuroprotection, anti-tumor, and dermatoprotection. DMY was also applied for the treatment of bacterial infection, osteoporosis, asthma, kidney injury, nephrotoxicity and so on. These effects to some extent enrich the understanding about the role of DMY in disease prevention and therapy. However, to date, we still have no outlined knowledge about the detailed mechanism of DMY, which might be related to anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation. And the detailed mechanisms may be associated with several different molecules involved in cellular apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation, such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase B (Akt), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) and so on. Here, we summarized the current pharmacological developments of DMY as well as possible mechanisms, aiming to push the understanding about the protective role of DMY as well as its preclinical assessment of novel application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the correlation between the movement distance of small intestinal contents and survival time in female SD rat models after one-time satiation, and to evaluate its application value for postmortem interval estimation. METHODS Adult female SD rats were randomly divided into postprandial groups (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h after feeding) and control group. The postprandial groups were fed for 1 h, meanwhile control group was kept fasting. All rats were sacrificed at the given time. The contents in stomach and small intestine were observed, described, compared and photographed, and the movement distance of small intestinal contents was measured. The data of postprandial groups were analysed by one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS The stomach and duodenum of control group were empty with a little thin and yellow small intestinal liquid. The gastral cavities of 1 h postprandial group were full of undigested food. The evolutionary changes of character, colour and content were observed in the gastric and small intestinal contents of other postprandial groups. The movement distance of intestinal contents increased while the empty part decreased gradually. The differences among the postprandial groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS After a 24 h fasting with free drinking and the following 1 h feeding, an ideal animal model can be established successfully on female SD rats, which can provide an experimental basis for postmortem interval estimation based on the changes of small intestinal contents in forensic practice.

Abstract
AIMS Testis and sperm are particularly susceptible to inflammation and oxidative stress. Although hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been considered an important biological signaling molecule in inflammatory and oxidative stress processes, its role in the male reproductive system was poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of H2S in the regulation of male reproductive system. RESULTS We found that both subfertile and infertile patients, especially asthenospermic patients, exhibited decreased concentration of H2S in their seminal plasma and diminished expression of H2S-generating enzyme (cystathionine β-synthase [CBS]) in sperm. Supplying exogenous H2S to semen improved sperm motility of these asthenospermic patients. Furthermore, decreased sperm motility was observed in animal models with a defective in H2S generation such as lipopolysaccharide-treated mice, diabetic mice, and CBS-deficient mice. Our research showed that stress-induced reductions of endogenous H2S production and CBS expression are correlated with impaired spermatogenesis and a defective blood-testis barrier. Supplying exogenous H2S or overexpressing CBS could relieve the spermatogenic failure. This occurred primarily through the combination of anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. INNOVATION These results provide the first indication that H2S is important for maintaining male fertility and protecting testicular function. CONCLUSION H2S plays an important role in spermatogenic failure and testicular dysfunction mainly by its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 28, 1447-1462.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S), independently of any specific transporters, has a number of biological effects on the cardiovascular system. However, until now, the detailed mechanism of H2 S was not clear. Recently, a novel post-translational modification induced by H2 S, named S-sulfhydration, has been proposed. S-sulfhydration is the chemical modification of specific cysteine residues of target proteins by H2 S. There are several methods for detecting S-sulfhydration, such as the modified biotin switch assay, maleimide assay with fluorescent thiol modifying regents, tag-switch method and mass spectrometry. H2 S induces S-sulfhydration on enzymes or receptors (such as p66Shc, phospholamban, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and ATP synthase subunit α), transcription factors (such as specific protein-1, kelch-like ECH-associating protein 1, NF-κB and interferon regulatory factor-1), and ion channels (such as voltage-activated Ca2+ channels, transient receptor potential channels and ATP-sensitive K+ channels) in the cardiovascular system. Although significant progress has been achieved in delineating the role of protein S-sulfhydration by H2 S in the cardiovascular system, more proteins with detailed cysteine sites of S-sulfhydration as well as physiological function need to be investigated in further studies. This review mainly summarizes the role and possible mechanism of S-sulfhydration in the cardiovascular system. The S-sulfhydrated proteins may be potential novel targets for therapeutic intervention and drug design in the cardiovascular system, which may accelerate the development and application of H2 S-related drugs in the future.
