- Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) poses a significant threat to the global swine industry; however, the host factors that support its replication remain poorly understood. Our previous study showed that myeloid cell leukemia 1 (MCL1) is a pro-PEDV replication cellular factor through genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9-knockout (KO) screening. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism whereby MCL1 promotes PEDV replication is unclear. In this study, we first demonstrated that MCL1 promotes PEDV replication through its BCL-2 homology (BH) domain. Deletion of MCL1 prevented arachidonic acid (AA) from undergoing β-oxidation which led to the increase of free AA and activation of its secondary metabolic pathways resulting in significant inhibition of PEDV replication. Complementation of MCL1-KO cells with a BH domain fragment of MCL1 restored β-oxidation capacity and rescued PEDV replication. In addition, we identified acyl-CoA synthetase bubblegum family member 1 (ACSBG1) as a novel metabolic regulator that binds to the N-terminus of MCL1, rather than its BH domain, and cooperates with MCL1 to facilitate AA β-oxidation. We further demonstrated that ACSBG1 and MCL1 act together as proviral factors specifically during the replication stage of PEDV infection. In summary, this work reveals a unique and concerted interaction between MCL1 and ACSBG1 that function together to promote PEDV replication by regulating the AA metabolic pathway. - Source: PubMed

Shang HongqiYang ShanshanSun MinZhao YongxiangGuo RongliWang WeiQian BingxuLi YunchuanHu MiBian XianyuCao QiuxiaLi ChengchengFan BaochaoLi Bin - Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains a leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality with limited prognostic biomarkers. Fatty acid metabolism (FAM) reprogramming serves a pivotal role in tumor progression; however, the functional importance of specific FAM genes, such as ACSBG1, in LUAD remains elusive. In the present study, transcriptomics data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (n=517) and Gene Expression Omnibus‑GSE13213 (n=117) were analyzed to identify FAM‑related differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression and Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) interpretable analyses established a prognostic model, and experiments using A549 and H1299 cell lines with ACSBG1 overexpression (OE) and knockdown. Functional assays included Cell Counting Kit‑8, EdU, Transwell and apoptosis analyses. A total of 35 FAM‑related DEGs were identified, which were enriched in PPAR signaling and fatty acid degradation pathways (false discovery rate <0.05). Subsequently, a seven‑gene prognostic model was established, and demonstrated strong predictive power for 1‑, 3‑ and 5‑year survival (area under the curve values: 0.767, 0.769 and 0.700, respectively). SHAP analysis prioritized ACSBG1 as the dominant protective factor, and its low expression was associated with advanced Tumor‑Node‑Metastasis stages and poor survival. Mechanistically, ACSBG1 OE suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted apoptosis. Immune profiling revealed ACSBG1 expression was positively correlated with the infiltration of CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells and B cells, suggesting its immunomodulatory potential. In conclusion, to the best of our knowledge, the present study established the first FAM‑based prognostic model for LUAD, and identified ACSBG1 as a novel tumor suppressor through dual mechanisms of metabolic regulation and immune microenvironment modulation. The risk score system established in the current study provides a clinically actionable tool for precision oncology, and ACSBG1‑targeted therapy represents a promising strategy against LUAD progression. - Source: PubMed

Hu PanxinLi Anan - This study characterized phenotypic distinctions between high- and low-motility sperm from 40-week-old Yufen1 roosters and the alteration in epididymal transcriptional networks underlighting sperm motility. Temperature challenge tests (4 °C and 37 °C) revealed that high-viability sperm maintained significantly better survival rates at both temperatures compared to low-viability samples, and high-motility sperm consistently exhibited lower morphological abnormality rates across temperature conditions ( < 0.05), which was further confirmed by extended fertilization windows ( < 0.05) and produced more fertilized eggs ( < 0.05) compared to the low-motility group. Transcriptomic analysis of the epididymis showed 723 differentially expressed genes between the low- and high- motility groups, with functional enrichment indicating significant alterations in lipid metabolism pathways and ATP synthesis-related processes. Accordingly, genes related to fat deposition such as acyl-CoA synthetase bubblegum family member 1 (), glycerate kinase (), and CDP-diacylglycerol synthase 1 () were downregulated (all < 0.05), whereas the mRNA level of β-oxidation gene acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 6 () was increased ( < 0.05) in the high motility group as compared to the low motility group. In addition, when compared to the low motility group, the high motility semen exhibited decreased levels of both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde in seminal plasma (both < 0.05). In conclusion, the maintenance of sperm motility is associated with lipid metabolism remodeling, where these metabolic adaptations enhance ATP production while simultaneously reducing ROS generation in Yufen1 roosters. - Source: PubMed

Li JiweiLiu PingquanZhang JuanTian YadongSun GuirongKang XiangtaoGu YalingLi Donghua - Ammonia stress (AS) constitutes a significant environmental challenge that impedes aquaculture development. In this investigation, histomorphology assessments, physiological, and biochemical parameter analyses, and multiomics approaches were employed to elucidate the impact of acute AS on yellow catfish (). Findings indicated that serum ammonia concentrations exhibited a dose-dependent increase, correlating with the intensity and duration of stress. As the primary detoxification organ, the liver facilitates ammonia clearance by upregulating genes involved in glutamine and ureagenesis (glutamine synthase [], carbamoyl-phosphate synthase [], ornithine transcarbamylase [], argininosuccinate lyase [], argininosuccinate synthase [], arginase []), thereby promoting glutamine and ureagenesis while consuming glutamate, argininosuccinic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Physiological and biochemical data revealed that AS significantly elevated serum glucose, liver triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) levels. Histological examination demonstrated a marked reduction in liver glycogen stores alongside a progressive accumulation of lipid droplets proportional to stress severity, suggesting activation of liver glycogenolysis coupled with suppression of lipolysis. Integrative transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses indicated a reprograming of liver energy metabolism characterized by enhanced glycogenolysis and suppressed lipogenesis: liver glycogen content decreased, key glycolytic gene expression (, ) was downregulated, and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux was diminished due to decreased expression. Concurrently, transcription of fatty acid β-oxidation enzymes (, ) was suppressed, leading to palmitic acid accumulation and impaired lipid-derived energy production. Nonetheless, reorganization of carbon flux through upregulation of and facilitated pyruvate utilization in the TCA cycle, promoting NADH generation and sustaining oxidative phosphorylation, as evidenced by increased ATP turnover and content. This study elucidates the metabolic response to AS via increased glycogenolysis. Optimizing liver glycogen reserves serves as a nutritional strategy to enhance ammonia tolerance. Targeted regulation of key genes (, , , ) to promote glycogen-pyruvate metabolism may mitigate ammonia toxicity effects and improving aquaculture productivity. - Source: PubMed

Li XueWang ShidongZhang MuziLi MingChen Chao - The immune balance in mucosal tissues depends on a delicate interplay between inflammatory T helper 17 (Th17) cells and immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs). But what happens when this balance is disturbed? In this study, we uncovered a critical role for Acyl-CoA synthetase bubblegum family member 1 (Acsbg1) in shaping Th17 and Treg dynamics. Using Acsbg1-deficient mice, we show that while its absence does not disrupt homeostasis under steady-state conditions, it significantly alters Treg populations, particularly in gut-associated tissues. Under high-fat diet-induced metabolic stress, Acsbg1-deficient mice display mild metabolic changes but maintain systemic immune and metabolic function, indicating that Acsbg1 is dispensable for metabolic adaptation in vivo. However, upon infection with Citrobacter rodentium, these mice exhibit excessive Th1/Th17-driven inflammation and impaired resolution, accompanied by a strong reduction in IL-10-producing and ST2 Treg subsets. The impact is even more striking in an adoptive transfer colitis model, where Acsbg1-deficient Tregs fail to control inflammation, resulting in severe colitis and tissue damage. Our findings identify Acsbg1 as a key regulator of ST2 Treg function and a central player in mucosal immune homeostasis, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. - Source: PubMed
