Native forests transformed into cash crops reduced soil multi-functionality by modifying the microbial community composition and keystone species' abundance in the Jianghuai Hilly Region.

Conversion of native forest to cash crops is the predominant form of land use change in the Jianghuai Hilly Region. However, how plantations with different cash crops affect the soil multi-functionality is not well documented. In this study, we collected three kinds of cash crops soils (vegetable, orchard, and tea) and forest soil, to systematically review the relationship between soil microbial communities and soil multi-functionality.

Comprehensive analysis of alternative polyadenylation regulators of CTLA4 and immune infiltration in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common renal cancer. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays an important role in the progression and immunity of multiple tumors. Although immunotherapy has emerged as an important treatment option for metastatic renal cell carcinoma, whether APA affects the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in ccRCC remains unclear.

Lengthening of 3' Untranslated Regions of mRNAs by Alternative Polyadenylation Is Associated With Tumor Progression and Poor Prognosis of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as a major posttranscriptional mechanism for gene regulation in cancer. A prevailing hypothesis is that shortening of the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) increases oncoprotein expression because of the loss of miRNA-binding sites (MBSs). We showed that the longer 3'UTR is associated with a more advanced tumor stage in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Comprehensive analysis of alternative polyadenylation regulators concerning CD276 and immune infiltration in bladder cancer.

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is emerging as a crucial regulatory mechanism in bladder cancer (BC), while it remains elusive whether APA influences the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in BC. We identified two distinct subtypes of BC by APA-related regulatory genes expression profiles. The two subtypes have different pathological grades, prognostic outcomes, tumor immune infiltration characteristics, and pathway enrichment.

Comprehensive analysis of lower mitochondrial complex I expression is associated with cell metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by high metastasis potential. It is of great importance to explore the mechanisms underlying ccRCC metastasis and to enable development of potent therapeutics. The mitochondrial complex I (CI) had been considered to play an important role in the development of cancers, but less known in ccRCC.

Protective Effect of Curcumin on Bone Trauma in a Rat Model via Expansion of Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells.

BACKGROUND Bone fracture, a common injury to bones leads to various biophysiological changes and pathological responses in the body. The current study investigated curcumin for treatment of bone fracture in a rat model of bone trauma, and evaluated the related mechanism. MATERIAL AND METHODS The rats were separated randomly into 3 groups; sham, model, and curcumin treatment groups.

miR-190b promotes tumor growth and metastasis via suppressing NLRC3 in bladder carcinoma.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common urogenital malignancies. However, its pathogenesis, especially molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Thus, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying bladder cancer is important for the discovery of novel therapeutic paradigms for these diseases.

Diaqua-(5-carb-oxy-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ato-κO(1))[8-ethyl-5-oxo-2-(piperazin-4-ium-1-yl)-5,8-dihydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxyl-ato-κ(2)O(5),O(6)]zinc monohydrate.

The Zn(II) ion exhibits a distorted tetra-gonal-pyramidal geometry, being coordinated by two O atoms from the zwitterionic 8-ethyl-5-oxo-2-(piperazin-4-ium-1-yl)-5,8-dihydro-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxyl-ate (L) ligand, one O atom from the 5-carb-oxy-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate dianion, [Hbtc](2-), and two O atoms from two aqua ligands. In the crystal, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional structure.

In the title compound, [Mn(C(10)H(7)N(6))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, the complex unit comprises an Mn(2+) ion, coordinated by two imidazole N atoms from cis-related monodentate 5-[4-(imidazol-1-yl)phen-yl]tetra-zolide ligands and four water mol-ecules, together with two water mol-ecules of solvation. The Mn(2+) ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The mol-ecules are connected by O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving both coordinated and solvent water mol-ecules, generating a three-dimensional structure.
