CircEpha5 regulates the synthesis and secretion of androgen in mouse preantral follicles by targeting miR-758-5p
No full textCircular RNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases, although its expression pattern and role in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), characterised by hyperandrogenism, are not very clear. This article assessed the circRNAs expression profile in the ovaries of PCOS mice by circRNAs high-throughput sequencing and explored the role of circEpha5 in hyperandrogenism. The results showed that the overexpression of circEpha5 in mouse preantral follicles could increase the expression of Cyp17a1, an androgen synthesis-related gene, which resulted in a higher serum level of testosterone. Dual-luciferase reporter gene studies identified miR-758-5p as a direct target of circEpha5. Consequently, miR-758-5p expression was downregulated upon circEpha5 overexpression. Ectopically expressed miR-758-5p reversed the stimulation effects of circEpha5 on steroidogenesis-related gene expression and testosterone release. Therefore, circEpha5 could sponge miR-758-5p to regulate the expression of Cyp17a1, thereby promoting the synthesis and secretion of androgen in the preantral follicles. This work is contributed to the understanding of the pathogenesis of hyperandrogenemia and lays the foundation for the development of therapeutic targets of PCOS hyperandrogenism. What is already known on this subject? PCOS is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorders with hyperandrogenism as the main clinical manifestation. There are a variety of abnormal expression circRNAs in PCOS, however, the relationship between circEpha5 and hyperandrogenism has yet to be fully elucidated. What do the results of this study add? We first found that expression levels of serum circEpha5 were significantly higher in PCOS than in a normal group. Using mouse preantral follicle culture model and the letrozole-induced PCOS mouse model, the mechanism of CircEpha5 regulating androgen secretion was studied. What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? It was revealed that CircEpha5 can absorb miR-758-5p in the sponge to regulate the expression of Cyp17a1, thereby promoting the synthesis and secretion of androgen in preantral follicles, which may become a key target for the screening and treatment of PCOS hyperandrogenism.</p
Late Neogene carbonate sedimentation and stable isotope record of ODP Site 121-758
No full textThe evolution of oceanic and climatic conditions the northeast Indian Ocean during the last 7 m.y. is revealed in the sediments from Site 758. We present detailed and continuous records of d18O and d13C from planktonic foraminifers, weight percent calcium carbonate, weight percent coarse fraction, magnetic susceptibility, and geomagnetic reversals. Sample spacing of the records ranges from 3 to 10 cm and is equivalent to an average time interval of 2000 to 6000 yr. Despite the fact that core recovery ranged between 100% and 105%, recovery gaps as large as 2.7 m occurred at nearly every break between advanced hydraulic piston cores. Approximately 12% of the late Neogene sequence was not recovered in each of the two holes drilled at Site 758. To circumvent the discontinuity introduced by the gaps, a composite depth section was constructed from multiple cores taken from offset holes at Site 758. The resulting composite depth section extends continuously from 0 to 116 mbsf, from the Holocene to the upper Miocene.
A detailed chronostratigraphy is based on geomagnetic reversals which extend from the Brunhes Chron to Chron 6, and on d18O stages 1 through 105, which span from 0 to 2.5 Ma. The d18O record is dominated by a ~40-k.y. cycle in the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene, and is followed by a change to a ~100-k.y. cycle in the late Pleistocene. The mid-Pleistocene transition between these two modes of variability occurs between d18O stages 25 and 22 (between 860 and 800 Ka). Thirteen major volcanic ash horizons from the Indonesian arc are observed throughout the sedimentary section and are dated by their relative position within the geomagnetic reversals and the d18O chronostratigraphy.
Since 5 Ma, there has been a long-term decline in weight percent CaCO3 and CaCO3 mass accumulation rates, and an associated rise in non-CaCO3 mass accumulation rates. We attribute these changes to a decrease in CaCO3 productivity and an increase in terrigenous sedimentation through enhanced riverine input. Such input may be linked to rapid tectonic uplift of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau via mechanisms such as the intensification of the monsoonal rains, increased fluvial erosion, and regional glaciation. The long-term increase in percent coarse fraction since 5 Ma suggests a gradual increase in CaCO3 preservation. Higher frequency fluctuations in CaCO3 preservation are superimposed on the long-term trend and are related to climate fluctuations. The abrupt drop (-50%) in CaCO3 accumulation at 3.4 Ma signals a dramatic decrease in CaCO3 production that occurred over much of the Indian Ocean

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
