Article Abstract
Walnut oil with very high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids exhibits many health beneficial effects. We hypothesized that the oil composition is led by a special pattern/mechanism for triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis as well as accumulation in walnut kernel during embryo development. To test this hypothesis, shotgun lipidomics was performed for class-targeted lipid analysis (including TAG, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and lysophosphatidylcholine species) in walnut kernels from three cultivar collected at three critical stages of embryo development. The results indicated that TAG synthesis in the kernel happened before 84 days after flowering (DAF) and was significantly enhanced between 84 and 98 DAF. Moreover, TAG profile was changing along with DAFs due to the increased composition of 18:1 FA in TAG pool. Moreover, lipidomics also demonstrated that the enhanced acyl editing was responsible for the flux of FA through phosphatidylcholine for eventual TAG synthesis. Therefore, TAG biosynthesis in walnut kernel was characterized directly from lipid metabolism.

EZH2 variants derived from cryptic splice sites govern distinct epigenetic patterns during embryonic development.

EZH2 catalyzes H3K27me3 and is essential for embryonic development. Although multiple EZH2 variants have been identified, the functional implications and physiological significance of its heterogeneity remain unclear. Here, we revealed that conserved cryptic splice sites generated two EZH2 variants with (EZH2A) or without (EZH2B) a 27-nt region, coding for a 9-aa segment.

Bivalve mollusks represent a taxonomically and economically significant clade within Mollusca. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing their embryonic development remain poorly characterized. The dwarf surf clam ( ), characterized by a short generation time and high fecundity, has recently gained recognition as an ideal model system for bivalve embryological research.

The etiology of alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) is complex, representing the early reversible stage of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Alleviating oxidative stress, reducing inflammation, and preventing the development of liver fibrosis are considered the most effective strategies for treating AFL. Consequently, we selected isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a flavonoid compound recognized for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer pharmacological properties.

Apicomplexan AP2 (ApiAP2) family proteins are a family of transcription factors that are known to regulate gene expression in apicomplexan pathogens, including . In this study, we focused on TgAP2X-7, a member of the APiAP2 family that is predicted to be essential for fitness. Endogenous tagging of TgAP2X-7 followed by immunofluorescence analysis revealed that it's a cell cycle-regulated nuclear protein with peak expression in the G1 phase.
