Summary: Plants convert carbohydrates into energy-dense lipids through photosynthesis, making plant oils an economically and sustainably attractive feedstock for biofuels and value-added bioproducts. Various strategies have been developed to enhance lipid accumulation and produce specialty lipids with increased uses and value. Successful metabolic engineering involves expression of lipogenic factors from other sources or with specialized functionality.

Summary: The study systematically analyzed AP2/ERF family members in avocado and identified 10 highly expressed PaAP2/ERF genes potentially related to fatty acid accumulation in avocado fruit. This analysis provides a foundation for future studies on the functions of AP2/ERF associated with fatty acid accumulation.

Summary: Previous research on lipid nutrition in farmed fish has focused mainly on n-3 LC-PUFA, with limited understanding of the relationship between different dietary fatty acids. This study found a direct link between the physical properties of dietary fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acid metabolism in Atlantic salmon, suggesting new possibilities for lipid nutrition in aquaculture species.

Summary: Predicting transcription factors (TFs) associated with Camelina lipid metabolism using gene expression datasets. Identified DNA-binding sites and predicted target genes for 16 TFs using DNA affinity purification followed by sequencing. These TFs may play important roles in seed fatty acid elongation and triacylglycerol synthesis and degradation.

Summary: An unbalanced gut microbiota in fish may promote bacterial infections. However, the interactions between different bacterial groups and their effects on fish health are not well understood. This study found that pathogenic species were present in the digestive tract and gut mucosa of healthy salmon, and the dysbiosis in sick salmon may be associated with cooperative interactions between different taxonomic families of bacteria, leading to clinical symptoms.

Summary: The study showed that feed ingredients significantly influence the mucosal protective barrier of fish organs. Supplementation of probiotics can alleviate inflammatory responses and activate specific innate immune defense molecules. The positive effects of these probiotics on the skin, gills, and intestine are consistent, suggesting their potential as immune regulators.

Summary: The research investigated the effects of different SFA:MUFA ratios on the growth performance, tissue fatty acid composition, and gene expression involved in lipid metabolism of juvenile California Yellowtail. It was found that the fish fed the control diet outperformed the experimental feeds with increasing SFA:MUFA ratio in terms of weight gain and liver index. The fatty acid composition in tissues reflected the dietary composition, with a slight sparing effect of LC-PUFA observed.

Summary: The study reveals that HOXB13 suppresses lipogenic transcriptional program in prostate cancer through HDAC3 recruitment, which inhibits tumor metastasis. Loss or mutation of HOXB13 leads to lipid accumulation in PCa cells, promoting cell motility and tumor metastasis.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of dietary selenium supplementation on physiological parameters, selenoprotein and antioxidant enzyme gene expression in Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae. It was found that feeding a diet containing 4.42 μg Se/g dry mass improved the expression of selenoproteins and antioxidant genes. This suggests that non-selenium-enriched rotifers may be suboptimal for first-feeding Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary choline supplementation on Pacific white shrimp. The results showed that dietary choline supplementation promoted the deposition of choline and its metabolites, had negative effects on the histological structure and fatty acid profile of the hepatopancreas, and regulated lipid metabolism. Appropriate dietary choline levels promoted the development of hepatopancreas R cells and maintained normal lipid accumulation, while high dietary choline levels enhanced lipid export and fatty acid oxidation, and inhibited de novo fatty acid synthesis.

Summary: Recently, genetically modified Camelina sativa has been used to produce oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can potentially replace fish oil in the feeds for juvenile Atlantic Bluefin tuna. The study found that the oils showed positive effects on the growth, survival, and feed utilization of the tuna. Furthermore, the oils upregulated the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism.

Summary: The study reveals that fish farmers familiar with manufactured feed have a more positive attitude towards feed containing non-conventional ingredients. Peer pressure, importance and benefits of the novel aquafeed, perceived comparative advantage, and uncertainty regarding outcomes are the main determinants of intention to adopt the new feed innovation.

Summary: The study used IVT-SAPAS sequencing to analyze the dynamic changes of APA sites during adipogenesis in bovine subcutaneous preadipocytes and intramuscular preadipocytes. The results showed that APA plays an important role in adipocyte differentiation, and UTR-APA switching genes have different trends, with intramuscular preadipocytes tending to use shorter 3'UTR for differentiation. TRIB3, WWTR1, and INSIG1 play important roles in intramuscular preadipocyte differentiation.

Summary: This study investigates the genetic diversity and natural selection of the Pfama-1 gene in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Cameroon. The study finds a considerable nucleotide and haplotype diversity, as well as specific mutations in Cameroonian isolates. Positive diversifying selection and the identification of selected codon sites suggest the potential implication of these genetic variations in host immune pressure and parasite-binding complex modulation. The findings provide valuable baseline data for malaria vaccine design.

Summary: RSC is an essential ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It regulates nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) by sliding flanking nucleosomes away from NDRs. Depletion of RSC leads to nucleosome encroachment in NDRs and transcription initiation defects. The study compared the effects of catalytic-dead Sth1 and rapid depletion of Sth1 on transcription. Rapid depletion of Sth1 reduces recruitment of TBP and Pol II, while the catalytic-dead mutant exhibits a severe reduction in TBP binding but accumulates Pol II in coding regions. The results suggest a role for RSC in transcription elongation and termination processes.

Summary: This study analyzed the expression of Ptpn1 and miR-124-3p in testicular tissues of mice and investigated their regulatory relationship. The results showed that Ptpn1 expression was up-regulated in adult mouse testis compared to juvenile mouse testis, while miR-124-3p expression showed an opposite pattern. Further analysis suggested that the down-regulation of miR-124-3p may contribute to the high expression of Ptpn1 in adult mouse testis.

Summary: This study found that exosomes secreted by young BMSCs can promote the healing of tendon-bone interface after rotator cuff tears. These exosomes can improve extracellular matrix remodeling, osteogenic differentiation, angiogenesis, and stemness of tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs). The exosomes from young BMSCs have better effects compared to those from aged BMSCs.
