Through comprehensive sampling across varied agro-climatic zones, including 91 riverine buffaloes from 12 breeds and 6 non-descript populations, along with 16 swamp buffaloes of the Luit breed, this study employed next-generation sequencing techniques to map the mitogenomic landscape of these subspecies. Sequence alignments were performed with the buffalo mitochondrial reference genome to identify mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations and distinct maternal haplogroups among Indian buffaloes. The results uncovered the existence of 212 variable sites in riverine buffaloes, yielding 67 haplotypes with high haplotype diversity (0.991), and in swamp buffaloes, 194 variable sites resulting in 12 haplotypes, displaying haplotype diversity of 0.950. Phylogenetic analyses elucidated the genetic relationships between Indian buffaloes and the recognized global haplogroups, categorizing Indian swamp buffaloes predominantly into the SA haplogroup. Intriguingly, the haplogroup SB2b was observed for the first time in swamp buffaloes. Conversely, riverine buffaloes conformed to established sub-haplogroups RB1, RB2, and RB3, underscoring the notion of Northwestern India as a pivotal domestication site for riverine buffaloes. The study supports the hypothesis of independent domestication events for riverine and swamp buffaloes, highlighting the critical role of genetic analysis in unraveling the complex evolutionary pathways of domestic animals.

To make thing worse, the scarcity of treatment options is disheartening. However, if detected early, there is a possibility of reversing the condition. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of relevant early screening methods. Considering that Barrett's esophagus (BE), a precursor lesion of EAC, has been confirmed as the only known precursor of EAC. Analyzing which BE cases will progress to EAC and understanding the processes and mechanisms involved is of great significance for early screening of such patients. Considering the significant alterations in the gut microbiota of patients with BE and its potential role in the progression to EAC, this study aims to analyze the relationship between BE, EAC, and GM to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This study utilized comprehensive statistical data on gut microbiota from a large-scale genome-wide association meta-analysis conducted by the MiBioGen consortium (n = 18,340). Subsequently, we selected a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that fell below the genome-wide significance threshold (1 × 10-5) as instrumental variables. To investigate the causal relationship between gut microbiota and BE and EAC, we employed various MR analysis methods, including Inverse Variance Weighting (IVW), MR-Egger regression, weighted median (WM), and weighted mean. Additionally, we assessed the level of pleiotropy, heterogeneity, and stability of genetic variations through MR-Egger intercept test, MR-PRESSO, Cochran's Q test, and \"leave-one-out\" sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, we conducted reverse MR analysis to identify the causal relationships between gut microbiota and BE and EAC. The results from the Inverse Variance-Weighted (IVW) analysis indicate that Alistipes (P = 4.86 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;), Lactobacillus (P = 2.11 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;), Prevotella 7 (P = 4.28 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;), and RuminococcaceaeUCG004 (P = 4.34 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;) are risk factors for Barrett's esophagus (BE), while Flavonifractor (P = 8.81 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-3&lt;/sup&gt;) and RuminococcaceaeUCG004 (P = 4.99 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;) are risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). On the other hand, certain gut microbiota genera appear to have a protective effect against both BE and EAC. These include Eubacterium (nodatum group) (P = 4.51 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;), Holdemania (P = 1.22 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;), and Lactococcus (P = 3.39 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;) in the BE cohort, as well as Eubacterium (hallii group) (P = 4.07 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;) and Actinomyces (P = 3.62 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-3&lt;/sup&gt;) in the EAC cohort.

The functional roles of MARCH1 and PCSK9 in cerebral IRI were subsequently determined by examining the neurological function, brain tissue changes, neuronal viability, inflammation, and pyroptosis through ectopic expression and knockdown experiments. PCSK9 expression was increased in the brain tissues of MCAO/R mice, while PCSK9 knockdown reduced brain damage and neurological deficits. Additionally, inflammation and pyroptosis were inhibited in OGD/R-exposed hippocampal neurons upon PCSK9 knockdown, accompanied by LDLR upregulation and NLRP3 inflammasome inactivation. Mechanistic experiments revealed that MARCH1 mediated ubiquitination and degradation of PCSK9, lowering PCSK9 protein expression. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that MARCH1 suppressed inflammation and pyroptosis after cerebral IRI by downregulating PCSK9 both in vivo and in vitro.

Cuproptosis, a novel mechanism that regulates cell death, may be a new therapeutic approach. However, the relevance of cuproptosis in the immune microenvironment and osteoporosis immunotherapy is still unknown. We intersected the differentially expressed genes from osteoporotic samples with 75 cuproptosis-related genes to identify 16 significantly expressed cuproptosis genes. We further explored the connection between the cuproptosis pattern, immune microenvironment, and immunotherapy. The weighted gene co-expression network analysis algorithm was used to identify cuproptosis phenotype-associated genes, and we used quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry in mouse femur tissues to verify hub gene (MAP2K2, FDX1, COX19, VEGFA, CDKN2A, and NFE2L2) expression. Six hub genes and 59 cuproptosis phenotype-associated genes involved in immunisation were identified among the osteoporosis and control groups, and the majority of these 59 genes were enriched in the inflammatory response, as well as in signal transducers, Janus kinase, and transcription pathway activators. In addition, two different clusters of cuproptosis were found, and immune infiltration analysis showed that gene Cluster 1 had a greater immune score and immune infiltration level. Further analysis revealed that three key genes (COX19, MAP2K2, and FDX1) were highly correlated with immune cell infiltration, and external experiments validated the association of these three genes with the prognosis of osteoporosis. We used the three key mRNAs COX19, MAP2K2, and FDX1 as a classification model that may systematically elucidate the complex connection between cuproptosis and the immune microenvironment of osteoporosis. New insights into osteoporosis pathogenesis and immunotherapy prospects may be gained from this study.</p>","PeriodicalId":18259,"journal":{"name":"Mammalian Genome","volume":" ","pages":"414-431"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141432233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
