Induced resistance response is a potent and cost effective plant defense against pathogen attack. The effectiveness underlying mechanisms of the suppressive ability by Bacillus cereus AR156 to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000) in Arabidopsis has been investigated previously; however, strength induced systemic (ISR) activity Botrytis cinerea remains unknown. Here, we show that root-drench application significantly reduces disease incidence through activation ISR. This...

Most primary liver cancer (PLC) cases progress mainly due to underlying chronic inflammation, yet the mechanisms of inflammation-mediated PLC remain unclear. Here we uncover a TNF receptor II (TNFR2)-hnRNPK-YAP signaling axis in hepatic progenitor cells (HPC) essential for development. TNFR2, but not I (TNFR1), was required TNFα-induced activation YAP during malignant transformation HPCs and tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, heterogeneous nuclear ribonuclear protein K (hnRNPK) acted downstream...
Hyperactivation of YAP has been commonly associated with tumorigenesis, and emerging evidence hints at multilayered Hippo-independent regulations YAP. In this study, we identified a new MST4-YAP axis, which acts as noncanonical Hippo signaling pathway that limits stress-induced activation. MST4 kinase directly phosphorylated Thr83 to block its binding importin α, therefore leading cytoplasmic retention inactivation. Due consequential interplay between MST4-mediated phospho-Thr83 the...
Abstract As an important part of tumor microenvironment, neutrophils are poorly understood due to their spatiotemporal heterogeneity in tumorigenesis. Here we defined, at single-cell resolution, CD44 −CXCR2 − as tumor-specific (tsNeus) both mouse and human gastric cancer (GC). We uncovered a Hippo regulon with unique YAP signature genes (e.g., ICAM1, CD14, EGR1) distinct from those identified epithelial and/or cells. Importantly, knockout YAP/TAZ neutrophiles impaired differentiation into...
The striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complexes integrate extracellular stimuli that result in intracellular activities. Previously, we discovered STRIPAK is a key machinery responsible for loss of the Hippo tumor suppressor signal cancer. Here, identified Hippo-STRIPAK complex as an essential player control DNA double-stranded break (DSB) repair genomic stability. Specifically, found mammalian STE20-like protein kinases 1 2 (MST1/2), independent classical signaling,...
Small RNAs function to regulate plant defense responses pathogens. We previously showed that miR825 and miR825* downregulate Bacillus cereus AR156 (AR156)-triggered systemic resistance Pseudomonassyringae pv. tomato DC3000 in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). Here, Northern blotting revealed were more strongly downregulated wild type Col-0 (Col-0) plants pretreated with than nontreated upon Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) B1301 infection. Furthermore, compared Col-0, transgenic attenuated...
The Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a major oncoprotein responsible for cell proliferation control. YAP's oncogenic activity regulated by both the Hippo kinase cascade and uniquely mechanical-force-induced actin remodeling process. Inspired reports that ovarian cancer cells specifically accumulate phosphatase ALPP on lipid rafts physically link to cytoskeleton, we developed molecular self-assembly (MSA) technology selectively halts inactivating YAP. We designed ruthenium-complex-peptide...
Low temperatures significantly affect the growth and yield of peanuts. Temperatures lower than 12 °C are generally detrimental for germination To date, there has been no report on precise information quantitative trait loci (QTL) cold tolerance during in In this study, we developed a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population comprising 807 RILs by tolerant sensitive parents. Phenotypic frequencies rate low-temperature conditions among RIL showed normally distributed five environments. Then,...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a fatal malignancy that has limited treatment options. This study focused on the potential therapeutic effects of curcumin (CUR) and berberine (BBR) miR-221/SRY-box transcription factor 11 (SOX11) axis in HCC. We investigated combined CUR BBR HEPG2 Huh7 cell survival miR-221 expression using Cell Counting Kit-8 assays RT-qPCR, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect changes apoptosis-related caspase-3/9 protein levels. performed bioinformatics...

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) formation is a multi‐step pathological process that involves evolution of heterogeneous immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. However, the specific cell populations involved and their origins contribution to HCC development remain largely unknown. Here, comprehensive single‐cell transcriptome sequencing was applied profile rat models toxin‐induced liver tumorigenesis patients. Specifically, we identified three hepatic parenchymal cells emerging...
Ascorbate peroxidases (APXs) maintain cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis through their peroxidase activity. Here, we report that OsAPX1 also promotes ROS production such a delicate is achieved temporally after Magnaporthe oryzae infection. specifically induces increasing respiratory burst oxidase homologs ( OsRBOHs ) expression and can be inhibited by DPI, inhibitor. The time-course experiment data show the simultaneous induction of leads to accumulation at an early stage;...
Blast disease is one of the major rice diseases, and causes nearly 30% annual yield loss worldwide. Resistance genes that have been cloned, however, are effective only against specific strains. In cultivation practice, broad-spectrum resistance to various strains highly valuable, requires researchers investigate basal defense responses for diverse types pathogens. this study, we took a quantitative proteomic approach identified 634 proteins responsive infections by both Magnaporthe oryzae...
