Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play essential roles in a variety of biological processes. It has been recently reported that lncRNAs can regulate mRNA expression by binding to microRNAs (miRNAs) as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). However, the involvement of this regulatory mechanism during cold acclimation in fish remains unclear. In this study, we constructed a ceRNA network mediated by lncRNAs in cold-acclimated zebrafish ZF4 cells through bioinformatic analysis of the mRNA, miRNA, and lncRNA profiles obtained from ZF4 cells cultured at 18 °C for 30 days. A previously uncharacterized lncRNA, MSTRG3207, was selected for further analysis. MSTRG3207 was upregulated and dre-miR-736 was downregulated during cold acclimation. MSTRG3207 was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and functionally characterized. The binding of MSTRG3207 to dre-miR-736 was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Under cold acclimation, MSTRG3207 promoted apoptosis by sponging dre-miR-736 and upregulating bbc3 and LOC101885512, two apoptotic genes targeted by dre-miR-736. Taken together, our findings indicate that MSTRG3207 upregulation promotes apoptosis by sponging dre-miR-736 during cold acclimation in fish.

Daily brief whole-body immersion in 14 °C water temporarily decreases glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity.

Despite growing popularity, experimental evidence regarding the impact of daily cold exposure as an intervention for metabolic health has been lacking, especially with brief cold exposures. Thus, we aimed to investigate the effects of brief repeated whole-body immersion in 14 °C water on glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and resting energy expenditure (REE) in young, nonobese adults. Twelve participants completed sixteen daily 10-min sessions involving whole-body immersion in 14 °C water.

Plant acclimation occurs through system-wide mechanisms that include proteome shifts, some of which occur at the level of protein synthesis. All proteins are synthesized by ribosomes. Rather than being monolithic, transcript-to-protein translation machines, ribosomes can be selective and cause proteome shifts.

Temperature has an overriding impact on microbial physiology, but the molecular basis of thermal acclimation in many ecologically relevant marine bacterial taxa remains unexplored. We used quantitative transcriptomics to analyse the transcriptional reprogramming of a proteorhodopsin-based photoheterotroph, Dokdonia sp. MED134, during thermal acclimation from 10°C to 34°C.

Cold acclimation is critical for the survival of plants in temperate regions under low temperatures, and C-REPEAT BINDING FACTORs (CBFs) are well established as key transcriptional factors that regulate this adaptive process by controlling the expression of cold-responsive genes. Here we demonstrate that CBFs are involved in modulating alternative splicing during cold acclimation through their interaction with subunits of the spliceosome complex. Under cold stress, CBF proteins accumulate and directly interact with SKI-INTERACTING PROTEIN (SKIP), a key component of the spliceosome, which positively regulates acquired freezing tolerance.

Introduction: Cold acclimatization in tropical region-originated plants involves complex gene expression reprogramming to adapt to fluctuating temperatures. However, the molecular mechanisms and gene networks regulating cold tolerance in king grass remain largely unknown.
Methods: To address this, we established a full-length reference transcriptome of king grass to enhance assembly quality and performed multiple time-point transcriptomic analyses following cold treatment at 4°C.
