Distinct Roles of Estrogen Receptors in the Regulation of Vitellogenin Expression in Orange-Spotted Grouper ().

During their breeding season, estrogen induces vitellogenin (VTG) production in the liver of teleost fish through estrogen receptors (ERs) that support oocyte vitellogenesis. There are at least three ER subtypes in teleost fish, but their roles in mediating E-induced VTG expression have yet to be ascertained. In this study, we investigated the expression of and in the liver of orange-spotted grouper ().

Molecular characterization and functional analysis of IKKα in orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides).

Inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit alpha (IKKα) plays crucial roles in regulating activation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) in response to pathogens infections. Here, we cloned and identified IKKα gene of orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides), named as EcIKKα. The gene transcript contained a 2262 bp open reading frame, which encoded 753 amino acids.

An estradiol-17β/miRNA-26a/cyp19a1a regulatory feedback loop in the protogynous hermaphroditic fish, Epinephelus coioides.

Cyp19a1a is a key gene responsible for the production of estradiol-17β (E), the main functional estrogen and a major downstream regulator of reproduction in teleost fish. It is widely known that CYP19 gene expression, aromatase activity, and E production can influence gonadal differentiation and sex reversal in teleost fish, but the feedback mechanisms whereby E regulates cyp19a1a remain poorly understood, especially regarding the potential roles of endogenous small RNA molecules (miRNAs). Here, we identified miR-26a-5p as a regulatory factor of its predicted target gene (cyp19a1a).

Utilizing -Quinone Methide Chemistry: Synthesis of -Ivacaftor.

Lead time and cost are important factors for any pharmaceutical API. However, these issues become even more important when the drug substance contains an isotope such as deuterium, which has a natural abundance of only ∼0.016% of all hydrogen.

Controllable Co@N-doped graphene anchored onto the NRGO toward electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution at all pH values.

We propose a synthetic strategy to synthesize cobalt nanoparticle cores encapsulated in tunable N-doped graphene shells on N-doped reduced graphene oxide as a highly efficient and stable pH-universal electrocatalyst. The superior performance is mainly attributed to the optimization of the electrocatalytic centre and the improvement of the electronic configuration.

New Insights Into the Role of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone in Sex Differentiation of the Protogynous Orange-Spotted Grouper, .

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) signaling is considered to be essential for early gametogenesis in teleosts, but its functional roles during sex differentiation are largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of long-term and short-term FSH injection on sex differentiation in the protogynous orange-spotted grouper (). Long-term FSH treatment initially promoted the formation of ovaries but subsequently induced a male fate.

Transcriptomic Analysis Revealed the Regulatory Mechanisms of Oocyte Maturation and Hydration in Orange-Spotted Grouper (Epinephelus coioides).

Oocyte maturation and hydration are regulated by a complex interplay of various hormones and local factors. We have investigated the morphological changes of follicles and serum steroid levels during the HCG (human choionic gonadotophin)-induced oocyte maturation in the orange-spotted grouper. For the first time, a large-scale transcriptomic analysis of follicles during the maturation has been conducted in a fish species which produce pelagic oocytes.

Correlation of MicroRNA 17-92 Cluster Host Gene (MIR17HG) Polymorphisms With Susceptibility and Prognosis for Multiple Myeloma.

Purpose: To explore the correlation of MIR17HG polymorphism with susceptibility and prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM).

Patients And Methods: A total of 217 MM patients treated with high-dose melphalan combined with autologous peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation at our hospital were enrolled as the case group, and 220 healthy people were included as the control group. Sequenom MassARRAY iPLEX Gold single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping was used to detect polymorphisms of MIR17HG, including rs7336610, rs17735387, rs4284505, and rs1428.

Socially controlled male-to-female sex reversal in the protogynous orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides.

Socially controlled sex change in teleosts is a dramatic example of adaptive reproductive plasticity. In many cases, the occurrence of sex change is triggered by a change in the social context, such as the disappearance of the dominant individual. The orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides is a typical protogynous hermaphrodite fish that changes sex from female to male and remains male throughout its life span.

Facile preparation and applications of graphitic carbon nitride coating in solid-phase microextraction.

In this study, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was used as a coating material for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) applications. Coupled to gas chromatography (GC), the extraction ability of the SPME fiber was investigated and compared with the commercial fibers of 100 μm PDMS and 85 μm CAR/PDMS using six target analytes including deltamethrin, nerolidol, amphetamine, dodecane, ametryn and acrylamide. The g-C3N4 coating revealed excellent extraction ability and durability comparing with those of the commercial fibers due to its loose structure and unique physicochemical properties.

Studies on Mixed Monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett Films of Schiff-Base Complex Cu(SBC(18))(2) and Calix.

Mixed monolayers of Schiff-base complex Cu(SBC(18))(2) with an octadecyl hydrocarbon chain and Calix[4]arene without a long alkyl chain at an air/water interface were studied in ultrapure water at different temperatures. Interface behavior and thermodynamic estimation of the mixed monolayer indicate that a strong intermolecular interaction exists between the mixed components (Cu(SBC(18))(2) and calix[4]arene) and the two-dimensional miscibility decreases with the molar fraction of Cu(SBC(18))(2). It is noticeable that the calix[4]arene monolayer can be transferred successfully onto solid substrates due to the introduction of Cu(SBC(18))(2).
