The neuropeptide sulfakinin is a peripheral regulator of insect behavioral switch between mating and foraging by Hong-Fei Li, Bao Dong, Yuan-Yuan Peng, Hao-Yue Luo, Xiao-Lan Ou, Zheng-Lin Ren, Yoonseong Park, Jin-Jun Wang, Hong-Bo Jiang

“…Further analysis of the mutant flies revealed that sets of odorant receptor (OR) genes were differentially expressed. Functional characterization of the differentially expressed ORs suggested that sulfakinin directly suppresses the expression of ORs that respond to opposite-sex hormones while enhancing the expression of ORs that detect food volatiles. …”

Sodium formate induces development-dependent intestinal epithelial injury via necroptosis and apoptosis by Jingjing Wei, Yuan Tian, Meiqi Guan, Jinshu Wei, Yong Ji, Guozhong Tao, Karl G. Sylvester

“…Mice were sacrificed after 24 h of feces collection, and the blood and small intestinal tissues were collected to detect the pathological damage of intestinal tissue, intestinal permeability, oxidative stress indicators including SOD, HO-1, MDA, and 4-HNE, inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6, mitochondrial function such as ATP and PGC-1α in mice intestinal tissue, indicators of the cell death modes including necroptosis-related protein RIPK1 and p-MLKL, and apoptosis- related protein cleaved-caspase-3 and p-AKT (S473).Results NaF treatment significantly damaged intestinal epithelial tissue and barrier function, caused mitochondrial dysfunction, manifesting as decreased ATP and PGC-1α levels, increased lipid peroxidation products MDA and 4-HNE, depleted antioxidant enzyme SOD, and upregulated the expression of HO-1. …”

Genome Mining of Terpene Synthases from Fourteen <i>Streptomyces</i> Strains by Yuanyuan Li, Xi Xiang, Zhiyuan Ren, Rui Wang, Minghui Xie, Gen Li, Xiaohui Yan, Zhilong Zhao, Zixin Deng, Min Xu, Anwei Hou

“…A total of forty-eight TPSs were identified and categorized through phylogenetic analysis, and five representative TPSs distantly related to known TPSs were selected for functional investigation. Biochemical assays revealed that TAC28_6116 is a sesquiterpene synthase producing thujopsan-2β-ol (<b>1</b>) and thujopsene (<b>2</b>), marking the first report of thujopsan-2β-ol production from a bacterial source. …”

Current status of transcriptome sequencing technology in ruminants by Cui JiaYu, Song Lili, Wang Dawei, Liu ZhiLin, Zhang Xin, Jia Zelin, Zhang Yuhang, Xiong Huisheng, Wang Xueli

“…During the lactation stage of ruminants, transcriptome sequencing is used to screen for differentially expressed genes in blood tissue, which can identify candidate functional genes for milk production traits. Transcriptome sequencing can detect genes with low expression levels, identify new gene transcripts and alternative splicing events, detect and analyze the biological regulatory mechanisms of the body, reveal differences in gene expression levels during breeding, and reveal the interaction between hosts and pathogens. …”
