Plant-associated microorganisms from HM-contaminated environments play a vital role in enhancing host stress tolerance and are promising candidates for sustainable, microbe-based strategies to support plant fitness. Non-legume-associated rhizobia, however, remain poorly described in this context. In this study, we characterized Rhizobium metallidurans strain NS41, an endophyte of goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) growing at a highly metal-contaminated site. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this species associated with a non-leguminous host, thereby expanding current knowledge about R. metallidurans. Genome analysis revealed determinants of HM resistance, oxidative and osmotic stress mitigation, and metabolism of plant-derived compounds, but no canonical nodulation genes, indicating a facultative endophytic, rather than nodulation-dependent, lifestyle adapted to metalliferous environments. In vitro, NS41 demonstrated tolerance to high Zn, Cd, and As(III) concentrations (MIC 20 mM, 2.5 mM, 5 mM, respectively), produced indole-3-acetic acid and ammonia, and solubilized phosphates. In a maize pot experiment in HM-contaminated soil, seed inoculation with NS41 resulted in lower hydrogen peroxide and anthocyanin levels and higher chlorophyll content, without significantly altering biomass or Cd accumulation. This identifies NS41 as a stress-mitigating endophyte rather than a strong direct growth promoter under the tested conditions. Together, these genomic features and stress-mitigating phenotype support further investigation of NS41 as a plant-protective bioinoculant for improving plant performance on HM-contaminated soils.</p>","PeriodicalId":18816,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Genetics and Genomics","volume":"301 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148549715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TRPV3 gene has been found to be associated with wool yield. This study aims to investigate the correlation between TRPV3 and wool production traits in rabbits, with the goal of improving wool yield. In the current study, flow cytometry and CCK-8 assays were used to investigate the effect of the TRPV3 gene on the proliferation and apoptosis of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) in rabbit hair follicles (HFs). Results showed that the TRPV3 gene regulates the mRNA expression of genes involved in HF development (BMP4, SFRP2, TGF-β1, WNT5a, and STAT1), as detected by qRT-PCR analysis. The core promoter region of TRPV3 was identified through dual luciferase activity tests, and Sanger sequencing was used to detect polymorphisms in both the exonic and promoter regions of TRPV3. The analysis showed a single SNP in the exon region, which had no significant association with wool production. However, five SNPs were detected in the promoter region, with the g.48897415G> A site showing a significant association with wool production in Zhexi Angora rabbits. Moreover, rabbits carrying the AA genotype also showed higher transcriptional activity.

In conclusion, the g.48897415G > A mutation in TRPV3 is significantly associated with wool yield, and the TRPV3 gene inhibits the proliferation of DPCs.

Recent studies have shown that RUNX2, a member of the RUNX family known for its role in osteoblast differentiation and bone morphogenesis, is associated with the pathogenesis and progression of GC, while the underlying mechanisms of the pathogenesis and progression of GC are largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of RUNX2 in GC progression by analyzing its effects on gene expression and alternative splicing (AS) in HGC-27 cells. We silenced RUNX2 by small interfering RNA (siRUNX2), and then analyzed the globally regulated transcriptome profile by sequencing method (RNA-seq) to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and alternative splicing (AS) genes. The downstream targets of RUNX2 were identified by performing CUT&Tag and sequencing experiment in HGC-27 cells. Using RNA-seq, we identified 314 DEGs and 1120 regulated AS events (RASEs) in HGC-27 cells upon RUNX2 knockdown. The DEGs were enriched in pathways related to cell cycle regulation and apoptosis, while the RASEs were predominantly involved in cell cycle processes. These findings suggest that RUNX2 not only modulates gene expression but also extensively influences AS, which is crucial for cellular processes such as proliferation and survival. Notably, we found that RUNX2 regulates the expression of the splicing factor SF3B6 by binding to its promoter region. Our results showed that SF3B6 expression was significantly decreased in siRUNX2 samples, and its downregulation was associated with altered AS profiles of genes involved in the cell cycle. Our findings demonstrate that RUNX2 modulates the transcriptome and AS profile in GC cells, with a particular focus on its regulation of SF3B6. This study highlights the multifaceted role of RUNX2 in GC progression and suggests that targeting the RUNX2-SF3B6 axis could be a promising therapeutic strategy for GC.</p>","PeriodicalId":18816,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Genetics and Genomics","volume":"301 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148345830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
