The article reports on discrimination of dried sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (A. japonicus) products from different geographical regions in China (Xiapu, Jiaonan, Weihai, Yantai, Dalian). For this purpose, sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion mass spectra (SWATH-MS)-based proteomic analysis combined with chemometrics was evaluated. Proteome variations of A. japonicus samples determined by SWATH-MS using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometer were mined by chemometric tools to clarify the correlation between protein quantitation data and geographical origin. A differentiating OPLS-DA model was constructed with 55 SWATH-MS quantified proteins. A. japonicus samples from five locations were clearly classified by the developed OPLS-DA model and 100% prediction accuracy was achieved in validation testing as well as real-life sample analysis. Seventeen proteins were identified as discriminatory biomarkers allowing geographical provenance. The proposed method might be applied in origin authentication of commercially dried A. japonicus products.

Autophagy is essential for maintaining material balance and energy circulation and plays a critical role as a regulatory mechanism in tissue regeneration. However, current studies primarily describe this phenotype, with limited exploration of its molecular mechanisms. In this study, we provided the first evidence that autophagy is required for intestinal regeneration in Apostichopus japonicus and identified a previously unrecognized regulatory mechanism involved in this process.

Air pollution is highest in winter. The high concentration of particulate matter (PM) and trace elements (TE) after the growing season is influenced by increased pollutant emissions, unfavorable meteorological conditions, and the low efficiency of air phytofiltration. Plants that can remove pollutants from the air during the growing season are leafless in autumn/winter, and therefore unable to capture PM/TE effectively.

A number of studies have been demonstrated that arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX-5) plays a role in regulating a range of physiological and pathological processes through the catalysis of leukotriene formation from arachidonic acid (ARA). The coding sequence of ALOX-5 from Apostichopus japonicus (Aj-ALOX-5) was successfully amplified, resulting in a 2028 bp ORF sequence that encodes 674 amino acids. A comparison of the amino acid sequence with those of other 5-lipoxygenases revealed that Aj-ALOX-5 has the N-terminal "PLAT domain" and C-terminal "lipoxygenase structural domain" characteristic of this enzyme family.

In order to study the optimal use of Lactobacillus plantarum in sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus), 49 days feeding trial was conducted to determine the influence of immersion bathing in different concentrations of Lactobacillus plantarum CLY-05 on body weight gain rate and non-specific immune activities. The potential effect of CLY-05 on gut microbiota was also analyzed during the immersion bathing at the optimum concentration. The results showed that the body weight growth rate of all bathing groups was higher than that of control.
