Molecular Responses to Thermal and Osmotic Stress in Arctic Intertidal Mussels (<i>Mytilus edulis</i>): The Limits of Resilience by Nicholas J. Barrett, Jakob Thyrring, Elizabeth M. Harper, Mikael K. Sejr, Jesper G. Sørensen, Lloyd S. Peck, Melody S. Clark

“…Further analyses comparing the effects of salinity alone (23‰, 15‰ and 5‰) showed high expression of stress and osmoregulatory marker genes at the lowest salinity, implying that the cell is carrying out intracellular osmoregulation to maintain the cytosol as hyperosmotic. Identification of aquaporins and vacuolar-type ATPase transcripts suggested the cell may use fluid-filled cavities to excrete excess intracellular water, as previously identified in embryonic freshwater mussels. …”

Genome sequence of the ectophytic fungus Ramichloridium luteum reveals unique evolutionary adaptations to plant surface niche by Bo Wang, Xiaofei Liang, Mark L. Gleason, Rong Zhang, Guangyu Sun

“…Transcriptomic analysis revealed elevated expression of genes involved in cuticle degradation (cutinase, secretory lipase) and stress responses (melanin biosynthesis, aquaporins, lysozymes and HOG pathway). Conclusions Taken together, our results highlight genomic features associated with evolution of surface niche adaptation by the ectophytic fungus R. luteum, namely the contraction of PCWDEs, PTH11-like GPCRs and effectors, and the expansion of cuticle degradation and stress tolerance.…”

Moringa oleifera leaf alleviates functional constipation via regulating the gut microbiota and the enteric nervous system in mice by Xiaoyu Gao, Xiaoyu Gao, Xiaoyu Gao, Weiqian Yang, Weiqian Yang, Sijin Li, Shuangfeng Liu, Shuangfeng Liu, Weixing Yang, Shuang Song, Jun Sheng, Yan Zhao, Yang Tian, Yang Tian

“…In addition, MOAE also increased fecal water content by inhibiting the mRNA expression of colonic aquaporins (Aqp3 and Aqp4) in FC mice. Interestingly and importantly, MOAE affected the intestinal microbiota by inhibiting some key “constipation-causing” microbiota, such as Bacteroidaceae, Clostridiaceae, Bacteroides, and Ruminococcus, and promoting the growth of other important “constipation-curing” microbiota, such as Butyricoccus, Tyzzerella, and Desulfovibrio. …”

Stewed Rhubarb Decoction Ameliorates Adenine-Induced Chronic Renal Failure in Mice by Regulating Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis by Rui Wang, Rui Wang, Baifei Hu, Cheng Ye, Zhigang Zhang, Mingzhu Yin, Qiushi Cao, Yuanming Ba, Yuanming Ba, Hongtao Liu

“…Using a CRF mouse model induced by a 0.2% adenine diet, we proved that SR decoction (2.0 g crude SR/kg) significantly reduced the levels of urea and creatinine in plasma of CRF mice, accompanied by the improvement of renal fibrosis and tubular atrophy, amelioration of inflammation, and inhibition of aquaporins damage. Also, SR decoction alleviated gut barrier damage, indicative of the elevated mRNA expression of intestinal mucins and tight junctions. …”
