RNA interference (RNAi) is a conservative and important functional pathway in eukaryocyte. It regulates the expression of genes that are engaged in a variety of cellular physiological functions. Among the functions of RNAi, its antiviral function have attracted many attentions.The RNAi pathway molecules are able to recognize virus-related dsRNA and degrade it, therefore killing the virus. More importantly, RNAi could mediate systemic antiviral responses, transmit from cell to cell, and systemic RNA interference defective 1 (SID1) was thought to play an important role in this process. In the present study, a gene () of was cloned. LvSID1 could locate to both plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. Result of real-time RT-PCR assay showed that it was highly expressed in shrimp gills. Besides, it was shown that over-expressed LvSID1 in Sf9 cells could significant enchane RNAi efficiency. It was found that the expression of LvSID1was regulated by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), and knockdown expression of increased the cumulative mortality of WSSV infection shrimp. These results suggested that LvSID1 likely to played a role in L. systemic RNAi, and was involved in WSSV resistence.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a type of head-to-tail closed RNA molecules, have been implicated in various aspects of plant development and stress responses through transcriptome sequencing; however, the precise functional roles of circRNAs in plants remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a highly expressed circular RNA, circZmMED16, derived from exon 8 of the mediator complex subunit 16 (ZmMED16) across different maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines using circRNA-seq analysis.

The activin cascade is activated when a pair of extracellular ligand (Myoglianin, Myo; Activin β, Actβ; Dawdle, Daw) binds to two pairs of transforming growth factor β (TGF) serine-threonine receptor kinases, TGF-β type I (Baboon, Babo) and II receptors. However, the roles of activin way have not well been explored in non-Drosophilid insects. In the present paper, we compared the functions of Activin β (Actβ) ligand and receptor isoform BaboB in post-embryonic development in a defoliating ladybird Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata.

RNA interference (RNAi) technology is widely used in gene functional studies and has been shown to be a promising next generation alternative for insect pest management. To understand the efficiency of RNAi machinery in Leucinodes orbonalis (L. orbonalis) Guenee, a destructive pest of eggplant, core RNAi pathway genes Argonaute-2, Dicer-2, Loquacious, and Sid-1 were mined from the transcriptome and characterized.

Oviposition behavior in insects has received considerable attention, but studies have mainly focused on the antennae, neglecting the role of the ovipositor. In this study, we investigated the functional characteristics of the ovipositor in oviposition site selection by the fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda, a destructive invasive pest of maize and other cereals. In oviposition choice assays females exhibited significant repellency to isothiocyanate (ITC), volatiles specific to non-preferred cruciferous plants.

Aims: Aurora kinase A (AURKA) has been implicated in promoting myeloid and renal fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the impact and underlying mechanism of AURKA on liver fibrosis and to assess the therapeutic potential of MLN8237, a small-molecule AURKA inhibitor, in preventing liver fibrosis in mice.
Methods: The research used bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemistry staining on fibrotic liver tissues from human and mouse models to assess AURKA expression.
