AMPK signaling pathway regulated the expression of the ApoA1 gene via the transcription factor Egr1 during G. parasuis stimulation.

Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis) is the causative agent of porcine Glässer's disease, resulting in high mortality rates in pigs due to excessive inflammation-induced tissue damage. Previous studies investigating the protective effects of G.

Cerebellar connectome alterations and associated genetic signatures in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.

Background: The cerebellum plays key roles in the pathology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), but the way in which these conditions affect how the cerebellum communicates with the rest of the brain (its connectome) and associated genetic correlates remains largely unknown.

Methods: Combining multimodal MRI data from 208 MS patients, 200 NMOSD patients and 228 healthy controls and brain-wide transcriptional data, this study characterized convergent and divergent alterations in within-cerebellar and cerebello-cerebral morphological and functional connectivity in MS and NMOSD, and further explored the association between the connectivity alterations and gene expression profiles.

Results: Despite numerous common alterations in the two conditions, diagnosis-specific increases in cerebellar morphological connectivity were found in MS within the cerebellar secondary motor module, and in NMOSD between cerebellar primary motor module and cerebral motor- and sensory-related areas.

[Pyramiding of 3-resistant-gene to improve rice blast resistance of a restorer line, Fuhui 673].

To improve the blast resistance of elite rice restorer line Fuhui 673, 3 blast resistance genes Pi-1, Pi-9 and Pi-kh were introduced into Fuhui 673 from a good-quality restorer line Jinhui 1059 through 3 successive backcrosses followed by one selfing using the technique of marker-assisted selection. Ten near-isogenic lines (NILs) of Fuhui 673 carrying the 3 introduced resistance genes were created. Genotype analysis using 68 SSR markers evenly distributed in the genome indicated that 92.
