{"title":"The whole-genome survey of Acer griseum, its polymorphic simple sequence repeats development and application","authors":"Xiao-jun Zhou, Yu Tian, Rui Li","doi":"10.32604/biocell.2023.030191","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32604/biocell.2023.030191","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Acer griseum Pax is an endangered species endemic to China with both ornamental and economic value. However, the lack of information on its genome size and characteristics hinders further work at the genome level. Methods: This paper applied bioinformatics methods to predict the characteristics and patterns of the A. griseum genome, providing an important basis for formulating its whole-genome sequencing scheme. This study also characterized the simple sequence repeats (SSRs) of A. griseum, laying the foundation for the development and application of genome-wide SSR markers. In this study, PE150 sequencing was performed by the BGI MGISEQ platform, and the sequence files were analyzed by the K-mer method to estimate the characteristic information by GCE software. Results: The genome size was finally determined to be 739.63 Mb, its heterozygosity ratio was 1.33%, and the repetition ratio was 65.68%. A total of 825,960 SSR loci were identified in the assembled genome sequence, and primers were successfully designed for 526,020 loci. To verify the effectiveness of these primers, 100 pairs of primers were randomly selected and synthesized, and 81 pairs successfully amplified the target fragments. Fourteen pairs of primers with good polymorphism were selected for principal component analysis of 31 A. griseum individuals from two populations, showing favorable heterozygosity and PIC values. According to the findings, these SSRs might identify genetic variations based on geographic areas. Conclusion: It is suggested that Illumina + PacBio assembly strategy should be used for whole-genome sequencing due to the high heterozygosity rate and high repetition rate of the genome. In addition, the SSR primers designed in batches in this study laid a foundation for the in-depth study of population structure and population maintenance mechanism of A. griseum, which is helpful for the effective conservation and sustainable utilization of this germplasm resource.","PeriodicalId":55384,"journal":{"name":"Biocell","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84522032","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}

Then, using co-expression analysis of m7G-associated mRNAs & lncRNAs & differential expression analysis (DEA) among LSCC & normal sample categories, we discovered lncRNAs that were connected to m7G. The prognosis prediction model was built for the training category using univariate & multivariate COX regression & LASSO regression analyses, & the model’s efficacy was checked against the test category data. In addition, we conducted DEA of prognostic m7G-lncRNAs among LSCC & normal sample categories & compiled a list of co-expression networks & the structure of prognosis m7G-lncRNAs. To compare the prognoses for individuals with LSCC in the high- & low-risk categories in the prognosis prediction model, survival and risk assessments were also carried out. Finally, we created a nomogram to accurately forecast the outcomes of LSCC patients & created receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to assess the prognosis prediction model’s predictive capability. <b>Results:</b> Using co-expression network analysis & differential expression analysis, we discovered 774 m7G-lncRNAs and 551 DEm7G-lncRNAs, respectively. We then constructed a prognosis prediction model for six m7G-lncRNAs (<i>FLG−AS1</i>, <i>RHOA−IT1</i>, <i>AC020913.3</i>, <i>AC027307.2</i>, <i>AC010973.2</i> and <i>AC010789.1</i>), identified 32 DEPm7G-lncRNAs, analyzed the correlation between 32 DEPm7G-lncRNAs and 13 DEPm7G-mRNAs, and performed survival analyses and risk analyses of the prognosis prediction model to assess the prognostic performance of LSCC patients. By displaying ROC curves and a nomogram, we finally checked the prognosis prediction model's accuracy. <b>Conclusion:</b> By creating novel predictive lncRNA signatures for clinical diagnosis & therapy, our findings will contribute to understanding the pathogenetic process of LSCC.","PeriodicalId":55384,"journal":{"name":"Biocell","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135755380","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}

In recent years, scientists have regarded exosomes as an ideal small molecule carrier for the targeted treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) across the blood-brain barrier due to their nanoscale size and low immunogenicity. A large amount of evidence shows that exosomes are rich in biomarkers, and it has been found that the changes in biomarker content in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine are often associated with the onset of AD patients. In this paper, some recent advances in the use of exosomes in the treatment of AD are reviewed, and various exosome markers and some latest detection methods are summarized to provide some evidence for the detection or treatment of AD by exosomes.","PeriodicalId":55384,"journal":{"name":"Biocell","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135504583","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}

Mitochondria are the cellular integrators of environmental stressors that ultimately translate their responses at the organismal level, and are thus central to the process whereby organisms adapt to their respective environments. Mitochondria produce molecular energy via oxidative phosphorylation that then allows cells to biosynthetically respond and adapt to changes in their environment. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are by-products of oxidative phosphorylation that can be either beneficial or damaging, depending on the context;ROS are hence both the conveyors of environmental stress as well as cellular \"adaptogens”. Mitohormesis refers to the process whereby low levels of oxidative stress spur survival adaptations, whereas excessive levels stymie survival. Low energy and frequency pulsing electromagnetic fields have been recently shown capable of stimulating mitochondrial respiration and ROS production and instilling mitohormetic survival adaptations, similarly to, yet independently of, exercise, opening avenues for the future development of Magnetic Mitohormetic interventions for the improvement of human health. This viewpoint explores the possibilities and nuances of magnetic-based therapies as a form of clinical intervention to non-invasively activate magnetic mitohormesis for the management of chronic diseases. © 2023 Centro Regional de Invest.
