- Due to intensifying global climate change and coastal eutrophication, dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature constitute crucial environmental factors modulating physiological and biochemical processes of echinoderms. Strongylocentrotus intermedius, a commercially valuable mariculture sea urchin, is increasingly threatened by high temperature and hypoxia. This study established four groups: control (NC), high temperature (HT), hypoxia (LO), and high temperature - hypoxia combined stress (OT), followed by 48-h temperature recovery and reoxygenation. We assayed time to first death (TFD) and median lethal time (LT50), conducted transcriptome sequencing of tube feet, and validated dynamic expression of genes after stress exposure and during the recovery phase via real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Survival time under combined stress was significantly shorter than under individual stress. A total of 2391, 21552, and 2973 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in hypoxia, high temperature and combined stress groups, respectively. DEGs in LO group were enriched in hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signal pathway and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis; DEGs in HT group were mainly enriched in antigen processing and presentation, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum; the apoptosis pathway was uniquely enriched in OT group. Genes such as L-lactate dehydrogenase gene (ldh), mitogen-activated protein kinase 15 gene (mapk15) and phosphatidate phosphatase gene (plpp1_2_3) were selected as key DEGs. Key DEGs were significantly upregulated under stress and reversibly downregulated during recovery. These findings clarify the molecular mechanisms of S. intermedius responding to complex stresses, providing potential molecular targets for breeding stress-resistant sea urchin strains. - Source: PubMed

Dong JialiangSong ZheCong LinYan YuehanGuan YuQin ZilingZheng YiYu Wenchao - Rat adipose tissues were shown to exhibit a high level of autotaxin having lysophospholipase D activity. Previously, we reported that an elevated level of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in rat plasma was due to a decreased lysophosphatidylcholine concentration, increased plasma lysophospholipase D activity, and decreased lipid phosphate phosphatase activity toward LPA in adrenalectomized (ADL) rats. We hypothesized that the profiles of LPA, its precursor lysophospholipids (LPLs), and parent phospholipids (PLs) also may be altered in adipose tissues of ADL rats. To examine this possibility, we determined the tissue levels of molecular species of PLs and LPLs, including LPA, by LC-tandem MS. The levels of six LPLs in rat brown adipose tissue (BAT) were increased in ADL rats. In rat epididymal white adipose tissue (EpiWAT), the levels of LPLs except for LPA were increased. In rat inguinal WAT, the level of phosphatidylglycerol was increased. These results suggest that tissue levels of LPLs were upregulated by adrenal hormones in BAT and EpiWAT by different mechanisms. - Source: PubMed

- Repeated psychological stress is a major risk factor for psychiatric disorders. Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive sphingolipid, is known to contribute to regulating central nervous system functions. However, the relationship between the onset of psychological stress-induced behavioral disorders and S1P metabolism in the brain remains poorly understood. Because prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus are key brain regions involved in psychological stress responses, we investigated whether repeated social defeat stress (SDS) alters S1P metabolism in these regions. The S1P levels in the PFC, but not in the hippocampus, of mice susceptible to 4-day SDS were markedly lower than those in the control mice and were positively correlated with sociability. Additionally, mRNA expressions of an S1P-degrading enzyme Plpp3 and an inflammatory mediator Hmgb1 were increased in the PFC of 4-day SDS-susceptible mice. These results suggest that impaired S1P signaling in the PFC is associated with the onset of psychosocial stress-induced social avoidance. - Source: PubMed
Morito KatsuyaKimura SuzumiFujisawa SakiNishimura YukiTakayama Kentaro - Myopia is one of the most common eye diseases affecting children and adolescents, with its etiology often attributed to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. This study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology to investigate gene expression differences between guinea pigs with spontaneous high myopia (SHM) and those with normal vision. - Source: PubMed
