The involvement of CXCL1 in PD pathogenesis was validated using subacute and chronic MPTP-induced mouse models. Based on these findings, 2-month-old C57BL/6J mice were intravenously administered CXCL1 (20 ng/kg/day) for 2 weeks (5 days per week), successfully replicating motor deficits and pathological alterations in the substantia nigra observed in the chronic MPTP model. These results demonstrate the potential of CXCL1-induced inflammation as a mechanism for PD modeling. The model revealed activation of the PPAR signaling pathway in CXCL1-mediated neuronal damage by CXCL1. Linoleic acid, a PPAR-γ activator, significantly mitigated MPTP- and CXCL1-induced toxicity and reduced serum CXCL1 levels.

However, current frameworks, even the IUCN Red List, often neglect critical factors such as genetic diversity and the impacts of climate and land-use changes, hindering effective conservation planning. To address these limitations, we developed an enhanced extinction risk assessment framework using <i>Diploderma</i> lizards as a model. This framework incorporates long-term field surveys, environmental data, and land-use information to predict distributional changes for 10 recently described <i>Diploderma</i> species on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, which hold ecological significance but remain underassessed in conservation assessment. By integrating the distribution data and genetically inferred effective population sizes ( <i>N</i>e), we conducted scenario analyses and used a rank-sum approach to calculate Risk ranking scores (RRS) for each species. This approach revealed significant discrepancies with the IUCN Red List assessments. Notably, <i>D. yangi</i> and <i>D. qilin</i> were identified as facing the highest extinction risk. Furthermore, <i>D. vela</i>, <i>D. batangense</i>, <i>D. flaviceps</i>, <i>D. dymondi</i>, <i>D. yulongense</i>, and <i>D. laeviventre</i>, currently classified as \"Least Concern\", were found to warrant reclassification as \"Vulnerable\" due to considerable threat from projected range contractions. Exploring the relationship between morphology and RRS revealed that traits such as snout-vent length and relative tail length could serve as potential predictors of extinction risk, offering preliminary metrics for assessing species vulnerability when comprehensive data are unavailable. This study enhances the precision of extinction risk assessment frameworks and demonstrates their capacity to refine and update risk assessments, especially for lesser-known taxa.</p>","PeriodicalId":48636,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Research","volume":"46 1","pages":"15-26"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11890995/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142933136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
