The down-regulated lncRNA ZNF674-AS1 in granulosa cells (GC) from patients with biochemical premature ovarian insufficiency (bPOI) is induced by energy stress and regulates cell proliferation and glycolysis, potentially leading to follicular dysfunction. Additionally, ZNF674-AS1 exerts its functions through a new lncRNA-ALDOA complex, expanding the understanding of epigenetic regulation of GC function and POI pathogenesis.
Granulosa cell (GC) is a critical somatic component of ovarian follicles to support oocyte development, while the regulatory role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in GCs is largely unknown. Here, we identified a down-regulated lncRNA ZNF674-AS1 in GCs from patients with biochemical premature ovarian insufficiency (bPOI), and its expression correlates with serum levels of clinical ovarian reserve indicators. Functional experiments showed that ZNF674-AS1 is induced by energy stress, and regulates the proliferation and glycolysis of GCs, which possibly leads to follicular dysfunction. Mechanistically, low-expressed ZNF674-AS1 reduced the enzymatic activity of aldolase A (ALDOA), concomitant with promoting the association between ALDOA and v-ATPase to activate the lysosome localized AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). These findings identified a new lncRNA-ALDOA complex through which ZNF674-AS1 exerts its functions, expanding the understanding of epigenetic regulation of GCs function and POI pathogenesis.

The presence of polystyrene nanoplastics enhances the MCLR uptake in zebrafish leading to the exacerbation of oxidative liver damage

Xiaodong Ling, Junli Zuo, Meiqi Pan, Hongyan Nie, Jianzhong Shen, Qing Yang, Tien-Chieh Hung, Guangyu Li

Summary: The accumulation of nanoplastics exacerbates the toxic effects of microcystin on the liver of zebrafish, leading to cellular damage and oxidative stress. The presence of nanoplastics enhances the bioavailability of microcystin in the liver and alters the levels of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, glutathione, and catalase, exacerbating the oxidative stress response.

Bioaccumulation, metabolism and endocrine-reproductive effects of metolachlor and its S-enantiomer in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Kang Ou-Yang, Tangqi Feng, Yifang Han, Guangyu Li, Jianhong Li, Hongju Ma

Summary: The study evaluated the enantioselective bioaccumulation, metabolism, and toxic effects of metolachlor and S-metolachlor in zebrafish, revealing different toxic effects of the two chemicals and potentially gender-specific impacts on the endocrine system. Most biological indicators returned to normal within 7 days after exposure, possibly due to rapid metabolism of the chemicals.

Summary: The abandonment of cropland in China poses a threat to food security and has significant impacts on society, economy, and the natural environment. Mapping and monitoring abandoned cropland on a large scale has been a challenge. This study utilized high-resolution satellite data to detect and map abandoned cropland in China from 1990 to 2019, providing valuable insights into its spatial distribution, intensity, trends, frequency, and recultivation.

Summary: This study found that deficiency of IL-22 was associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). The levels of IL-22 and IL-22BP were measured and compared among different groups, and it was discovered that IL-22 levels were significantly lower in the POI group. The study also identified a correlation between IL-22 and ovarian reserve markers, providing new insights into the autoimmune disturbance in POI and suggesting potential intervention strategies.

Pathogenic bi-allelic variants of meiotic ZMM complex gene SPO16 in premature ovarian insufficiency

Yu Qi, Yiyang Wang, Weilin Li, Shuning Zhuang, Shan Li, Keyan Xu, Qin Yingying, Ting Guo

Summary: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a diverse disease that affects the physical and mental health of millions of women worldwide. Genetic factors play an increasing role in the pathogenesis of POI, with several causative genes involved in meiosis. This study identified a novel homozygous variation in the SPO16 gene in one patient with POI, which disrupts mRNA splicing and leads to non-functional SPO16 protein. Together with previous findings on SHOC1 gene variations, this study highlights the essential roles of ZMM genes in maintaining ovarian function and expands the POI gene spectrum.

Habitual feeding patterns impact polystyrene microplastic abundance and potential toxicity in edible benthic mollusks

Senyang Wang, Liang Zheng, Mengyan Shen, Longsheng Zhang, Yiting Wu, Guangyu Li, Chuanbo Guo, Cunzhi Hu, Mingming Zhang, Yanming Sui, Xuexing Dong, Linlan Lv

Summary: The study found that microplastics eventually end up in sediment, posing a threat to benthic life. Three edible mollusks were exposed to polystyrene microplastics for 7 days and depurated for 3 days. After the exposure, microplastics were found in both the digestive and non-digestive systems of all three mollusks. Most of the microplastics were removed after the depuration period, with higher clearance rates in filter-feeding mollusks compared to surface deposit-feeding mollusks. The digestive enzymes of the deposit-feeding mollusk reacted significantly to the microplastic exposure, while oxidative responses were found in the filter-feeding mollusk. After depuration, the changes in digestive enzymes and oxidative states were fixed, but the neurotoxicity induced by microplastics was not recoverable.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effect of diet energy on adult beagles and analyze the relation between diet and host and gut microbiota. It was found that feeding dogs low- or high-energy diets was harmful for glucostasis and promoted the relative abundance of pathogenic bacteria in the gut, while a medium-energy diet maintained an ideal body condition.

Summary: The fungicide difenoconazole was found to affect the development of the nervous system in zebrafish embryos, leading to inhibitory effects on heart rate and body length, increased malformation rate, and decreased locomotor activity. Difenoconazole treatment also significantly reduced dopamine and acetylcholine levels, while increasing acetylcholinesterase activity. Furthermore, the expression of genes involved in neurodevelopment was significantly altered.

Yaoben Lin, Yuanbo Wang, Xingjun Lv, Shuangyan Yue, Hongmei Liu, Guangyu Li, Jinghui Zhao

Summary: Fallowing is an effective method for self-recovery management of farmland, but it can cause a decline in grain production. Short-term fallow reduces food insecurity, but there are few studies on it. Our study focused on seven treatments and found that fallow management has a significant impact on soil properties. Fallowing can enhance soil microbial nitrogen transformation and has ecological benefits, especially with native vegetation.

Anthropogenic activity, hydrological regime, and light level jointly influence temporal patterns in biosonar activity of the Yangtze finless porpoise at the junction of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, China

Peng -Xiang Duan, Zhi-Tao Wang, Tomonari Akamatsu, Nick Tregenza, Guang-Yu Li, Ke-Xiong Wang, Ding Wang

Summary: The biosonar activities of the Yangtze finless porpoise in the river-lake corridor are correlated with anthropogenic impacts and environmental variables. The corridor plays a key role in the conservation of the porpoise. During the COVID-19 lockdown, there was a significant increase in porpoise sonar detection. The detection of porpoise click trains and buzzes showed a significant negative correlation with boat traffic intensity. Light levels and hydrological conditions also significantly influenced porpoise biosonar activities.
