Octopamine-MAPK-SKN-1 signaling suppresses mating-induced oxidative stress in Caenorhabditis elegans gonads to protect fertility. iScience 2023; 26:106162.

Abstract
Sexual conflict over mating is costly to female physiology. Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites generally produce self-progeny, but they can produce cross-progeny upon successfully mating with a male. We have uncovered that C. elegans hermaphrodites experience sexual conflict over mating, resulting in severe costs in terms of their fertility and longevity. We show that reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulate on the apical surfaces of spermathecal bag cells after successful mating and induce cell damage, leading to ovulation defects and fertility suppression. To counteract these negative impacts, C. elegans hermaphrodites deploy the octopamine (OA) regulatory pathway to enhance glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis and protect spermathecae from mating-induced ROS. We show that the SER-3 receptor and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) KGB-1 cascade transduce the OA signal to transcription factor SKN-1/Nrf2 in the spermatheca to upregulate GSH biosynthesis.

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
In this paper, we describe the potential of the LHCb experiment to detect stealth physics. This refers to dynamics beyond the standard model that would elude searches that focus on energetic objects or precision measurements of known processes. Stealth signatures include long-lived particles and light resonances that are produced very rarely or together with overwhelming backgrounds. We will discuss why LHCb is equipped to discover this kind of physics at the Large Hadron Collider and provide examples of well-motivated theoretical models that can be probed with great detail at the experiment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intestinal fibrosis and stricture formation are common complications of Crohn’s disease (CD). Recently, the stricturing phenotype has been recognized to be primarily attributable to hypertrophy/hyperplasia of smooth muscle, rather than an increase in fibrosis alone. Despite advances in treatment of CD, current therapies do little to prevent or reverse strictures. NR4A1 is an orphan nuclear receptor that has been reported as anti-fibrotic in non-intestinal systems and exhibits anti-proliferative effects in smooth muscle cells (SMCs). NR4A1 gene variants have been associated with increased risk of IBD, however, the mechanisms regulating NR4A1 expression and its role in intestinal SMC function has not been investigated.
Aims
To characterize and understand the role of NR4A1 activation in the regulation of mitogen-induced proliferation of intestinal SMCs.
Methods
Primary intestinal SMCs were isolated from Nr4a1+/+ and Nr4a1-/- mice. Furthermore, a commercially sourced human primary intestinal SMC line was used. To assess the response of SMCs to culture and identify growth differences, proliferation was measured via trypan blue exclusion and EdU incorporation. In mouse and human SMCs, proliferation was induced by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and NR4A1 activation was assessed by pretreating with selective agonists, cytosporone B (Csn-B) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), at various concentrations. Mass spectrometry was used to characterize proteomic differences between Nr4a1+/+ and Nr4a1-/- SMCs. Expression levels of NR4A1 were assessed by qPCR and western blot after mitogen exposure and Csn-B treatment.
Results
Nr4a1-/- cells exhibited a significantly higher rate of proliferation compared to Nr4a1+/+ cells, under both basal and mitogen-exposed conditions. Proteomic analysis showed that Nr4a1-/- SMCs exhibited increased expression of proteins related to the cell cycle and metabolism, compared to Nr4a1+/+ SMCs. Pretreating human intestinal SMCs with Csn-B and 6-MP significantly attenuated proliferation induced by PDGF-BB. Similar effects were observed in Nr4a1+/+ SMCs, however, the anti-proliferative effect of Csn-B was absent in Nr4a1-/- cells. Furthermore, NR4A1 expression was rapidly induced by Csn-B and PDGF-BB, the latter response suggesting the existence of a potential negative feedback mechanism to control mitogen-induced SMC proliferation.
Conclusions
Our results suggest that NR4A1 is a critical regulator of intestinal SMC proliferation and its induction by mitogens may contribute to a negative feedback loop to control smooth muscle growth. These data support targeting NR4A1 to treat excessive smooth muscle hypertrophy/hyperplasia that contributes to tissue remodelling observed in fibrostenotic CD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Lifelong antithrombotic therapy is necessary for patients undergoing mechanical valve replacement. However, the optimal regimen and duration of antithrombotic agents are still controversial for patients underwent bioprosthetic valve replacement.
Purpose
We investigated the effect of different antithrombotic strategies on the prognosis of patients underwent bioprosthetic valve replacement in the elder Asian population.
Methods
Based on the National Health Insurance Database in Taiwan, 1227 patients elderly than 50 years-old and underwent bioprosthetic valve replacement between 2003 to 2010 were enrolled for analysis. Patients were classified according to their antithrombotic therapies within 3 months after bioprosthetic valve replacements.
Results
The 1227 patients were stratified to three groups, including aspirin alone (19.6%), warfarin alone (60.6%), and the combined use of aspirin and warfarin (19.9%) within 3 months after surgery. After adjusting propensity scores, the warfarin group (relative risk: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.54–0.88) and the combination group (relative risk: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.42–0.79) both had lower mortality rate compared to the aspirin alone group. Neither increasing major bleeding risk (adjusted relative risk: 0.62, 95% CI: 0.15–2.68) nor decreasing ischemic stroke risk (adjusted relative risk: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.36–1.14) was noticed in the combination group.

Conclusion
Comparing with aspirin alone, warfarin only or combined warfarin with aspirin therapy have a lowering one-year all-cause mortality rate without increasing the occurrence of bleeding events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Vitamin D deficiency had been suggested to be the risk factor of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. However, current evidence about the association between vitamin D deficiency and atherosclerosis are conflicted and inconclusive.
Purpose
We tried to investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D concentrations and subclinical atherosclerosis in the elderly Asian population.
Methods
The I-Lan longitudinal study (ILAS), 1798 community-dwelling adults older than 50 years old were enrolled and divided into two groups according to serum vitamin D level (sufficient, ≥20 ng/mL, and deficient <20 ng/mL). The concentrations of serum vitamin D3 was measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay and demographic data recorded from chart review. The carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) was measured at bilateral common carotid arteries. Subclinical atherosclerosis was defined as mean cIMT more than 0.81mm, which had been proved to be associated with an increased risk of stroke and coronary events.
Results
Subjects with vitamin D deficiency (n=604, 33.6%) were younger, composed of more woman, smoker, with a higher incidence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. Compared with subjects without vitamin D sufficiency, patients with vitamin D deficiency were associated with lower risk of subclinical atherosclerosis (crude OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.50–0.81, p<0.001) in the univariate analysis. However, after adjusting gender and age, vitamin D deficiency was no more associated with risk of subclinical atherosclerosis.
Risk of vitD3 and cIMT Subclinical Atherosclerosis (cIMT >0.8mm) Odds Ratio 95% Confidence Interval p-value Model 1 Vit D3 normal (≥20) Reference – – Vit D3 deficiency (<20) 0.63 0.50–0.81 <0.001 Model 2 Vit D3 normal (≥20) Reference – – Vit D3 deficiency (<20) 0.81 0.62–1.06 0.127 Model 3 Vit D3 normal (≥20) Reference – – Vit D3 deficiency (<20) 0.93 0.69–1.24 0.599 Model 1: adjust for vit D3 (univariate); Model 2: adjusted for age, vit D3, Gender; Model 3: adjusted multivariate significantly in univariate analysis.
Conclusion
Vitamin D deficiency was not an independent risk factor for subclinical atherosclerosis in the elderly Asian population. The association observed in the univariate analysis may be confounded by gender difference or comorbidities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The small intestine is the primary site for absorption of dietary zinc. Intestinal transplant recipients are at high risk for zinc deficiency because of the long process of posttransplant adaptation. We initiated an intestinal transplant program in Taiwan in 2007. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively investigate the incidence of zinc deficiency in recipients after intestinal transplantation. METHODS Twenty-one isolated intestinal transplants were performed in 20 patients with 1 retransplantation. The level of serum zinc was monitored periodically, and zinc supplements were administered when zinc level was below 700 ng/mL. Twelve patients with graft above 1-year survival and with available related data were enrolled for the analysis of zinc deficiency. The levels of serum zinc were tracked, and the protocol of zinc supplementation is discussed herein. RESULTS The survival rates of 20 transplant recipients for 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years were 85%, 75%, and 65%, respectively. In the 12 grafts that survived longer than 1 year, we found that zinc deficiency was highest during the third (41.7%) to sixth (50%) month after transplantation. Sustained supplementation of zinc was required for over 70% of patients throughout the 3-year period to maintain their zinc level around the lower normal limit. CONCLUSION The outcome of isolated small bowel transplantation is promising. Periodical monitoring and sufficient dosing of zinc supplements should be considered into the posttransplant protocol to prevent zinc deficiency after intestinal transplantation.

Abstract
Innate immune responses are important for pathogen elimination and adaptive immune response activation. However, excess inflammation may contribute to immunopathology and disease progression (e.g. inflammation-associated hepatocellular carcinoma). Immune modulation resulting from pattern recognition receptor-induced responses is a potential strategy for controlling immunopathology and related diseases. This study demonstrates that the mycotoxin patulin suppresses Toll-like receptor- and RIG-I/MAVS-dependent cytokine production through GSH depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, the activation of p62-associated mitophagy, and p62-TRAF6 interaction. Blockade of autophagy restored the immunosuppressive activity of patulin, and pharmacological activation of p62-dependent mitophagy directly reduced RIG-I-like receptor-dependent inflammatory cytokine production. These results demonstrated that p62-dependent mitophagy has an immunosuppressive role to innate immune response and might serve as a potential immunomodulatory target for inflammation-associated diseases.

Abstract
Materials often exhibit fundamentally new phenomena in reduced dimensions that potentially lead to novel applications. This is true for single-layer, two-dimensional semiconductor crystals of transition-metal dichalcogenides, MX2 (M = Mo, W and X = S, Se). They exhibit direct bandgaps with energies in the visible region at the two non-equivalent valleys in the Brillouin zone. This makes them suitable for optoelectronic applications that range from light-emitting diodes to light harvesting and light sensors, and to valleytronics. Here, we report the results of a magnetoluminescence study of WS2 single-layer crystals in which the strong spin-orbit interaction additionally locks the valley and spin degrees of freedom. The recombination of the negatively charged exciton in the presence of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is found to be circularly polarized at zero magnetic field despite being excited with unpolarized light, which indicates that the existence of a valley polarized 2DEG is caused by valley and spin locking and strong electron-electron interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The disease burden of influenza-like illnesses (ILIs) on the working population has been documented in the literature, but statistical evidence of ILI-related work absenteeism in the USA is limited due to data availability. AIMS To assess work absenteeism due to ILIs among privately insured employees in the USA in 2007-8 and 2008-9. METHODS We used the 2007-9 MarketScan® research databases. Full-time employees aged 18-64 years, with the ability to incur work absence and continuously enrolled in the same insurance plan during each season were included. We identified ILI episodes using ICD-9 codes for influenza and pneumonia (480-487). For each season, we calculated the mean work-loss hours per ILI episode and the proportion of employees who had at least one ILI episode. Work-loss hours and ILI rates were examined by subgroups. RESULTS The mean number of work hours lost per ILI episode was 23.6 in 2007-8 and 23.9 in 2008-9. The proportion of employees with at least one ILI was 1.7% in 2007-8 and 1.2% in 2008-9. In both seasons, the proportion with ILI was higher among older (2.1 and 1.5%) and hourly workers (2.0 and 1.3%), workers in the southern region (1.9 and 1.3%) and those in oil, gas or mining industries (1.9 and 1.4%). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that the disease burden associated with ILIs in the working population is not trivial and deserves attention from policymakers and health care professionals to design effective strategies to reduce this burden.

Hepatic expression of HCV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase triggers innate immune signaling and cytokine production. Mol Cell 2012; 48:313-21.

Abstract
Innate immunity controls pathogen replication and spread. Yet, certain pathogens, such as Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), escape immune elimination and establish persistent infections that promote chronic inflammation and related diseases. Whereas HCV regulatory proteins that attenuate antiviral responses are known, those that promote inflammation and liver injury remain to be identified. Here, we show that transient expression of HCV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), NS5B, in mouse liver and human hepatocytes results in production of small RNA species that activate innate immune signaling via TBK1-IRF3 and NF-κB and induce cytokine production, including type I interferons (IFN) and IL-6. NS5B-expression also results in liver damage.

Abstract
Overexpression of the Ha-ras(val12) oncogene has frequently been detected in primary and metastatic carcinomas. NM23 is a metastasis inhibition factor and plays a suppressive role in metastasis in many types of cancer. In this study, a stable NIH/3T3 cell line harboring an inducible Ha-ras(val12) oncogene (designated as 7-4) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were used to clarify the inverse correlation between nm23 and Ha-ras expression both in vitro and in vivo. A derivative 7-4/Z-3 cell line harboring a β-galactosidase reporter gene was used to trace cell metastasis in a murine tumor model. The data presented here reveal that Ha-ras(val12) is able to cause cell morphological changes, induce tumor formation, and promote metastasis of tumor cells to the lungs. In mice with metastases, the immune surveillance against tumor formation was suppressed by Ha-ras(val12) overexpression through an increase in T-reg cells and a decrease of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cell populations. Our results suggest that the Ha-ras oncogene regulates morphogenesis, tumorigenesis, and metastasis through suppressing nm23 expression and modulation of immune cell function.
