Vinblastine resets tumor-associated macrophages toward M1 phenotype and promotes antitumor immune response by Jing Wang, Jin Wang, Yi-Na Wang, Yuan-Yuan Wang, Wen-Juan Bai, Nai-Jun Miao

“…RNA-seq of TAM of treated and untreated with VBL was performed to explore the changes in pathway activities. siRNA mediated knockdown experiments were performed to verify the target pathway that was affected by VBL treatment.Results Here, we showed that VBL, an antineoplastic agent that destabilizes microtubule, drove macrophage polarization into the M1-like phenotype both in vitro and in tumor models. The antitumor effect of VBL was attenuated in the absence of macrophages or CD8+ T cells. …”

How do various strategies for returning residues change microbiota modulation: potential implications for soil health by Nan Jiang, Nan Jiang, Zhenhua Chen, Zhenhua Chen, Yi Ren, Shichang Xie, Zimeng Yao, Zimeng Yao, Dongqi Jiang, Yulan Zhang, Yulan Zhang, Lijun Chen, Lijun Chen

“…However, the effects of various returning strategies on the soil microbiota, which play an essential vital role in maintaining soil health, remains largely unexplored.MethodsIn a study conducted, different residue management strategies were implemented, involving the application of chemical fertilizers and residues that had undergone chopping (SD), composting (SC), and pyrolysis (BC) processes, with conventional fertilization serving as the control (CK).Results and discussionUsing metagenomic sequencing, the analysis revealed that while all residue returning strategies had minimal effects on the diversity (both α and β) of microbiota, they did significantly alter microbial functional genes related to carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) cycling, as well as the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogens. …”
