Non-coding RNAs are crucial orchestrators in the intricate dance between viruses and host cells, among which the expression and function of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) during influenza virus infection remain largely unexplored. This study utilized whole transcriptome high-throughput sequencing to investigate the molecular mechanisms underpinning the species-specific regulation of influenza virus replication by the miR-302 cluster-IRFs-IRF1AS axis both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, the CTNNB1-induced miR-302 cluster targeted various interferon regulatory factors (mainly IRF1 and IRF2) with varying affinities and silencing efficiencies, except for miR-302e and miR-302f. Furthermore, miR-302 cluster-IRFs triggered the induction of interferon-induced hub genes and hub lncRNAs defined through weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Importantly, the intricate interplay between IRFs, direct targets of the miR-302 cluster, and IRF1AS, an indirect target, in terms of gene loci and transcriptional regulation reveals a crosstalk in the miR-302 cluster-IRFs-IRF1AS axis. That is, on the one hand, IRF1 and IRF7 bind to the promoter of IRF1AS to promote the transcription of eRNAs. On the other hand, IRF1AS functions as an enhancer cluster that orchestrates and cis-regulates the transcription of IRF1, thereby rapidly amplifying the antiviral immune response initiated by miR-302 cluster-IRFs. In conclusion, we have unveiled a novel regulatory network governed by the miR-302 cluster-IRFs-IRF1AS, offering fresh perspectives on immune regulatory mechanisms.IMPORTANCENon-coding RNAs play a crucial role in regulating the three-dimensional structure of chromatin. They influence gene expression through various mechanisms and thereby contribute to the onset and progression of influenza A virus pathogenicity. Our comprehensive whole transcriptome sequencing analysis reveals a novel finding: the species-specific regulation of influenza virus replication by the miR-302 cluster-IRFs-IRF1AS axis. Our findings indicate that the miR-302 cluster-IRFs axis facilitates the transcription of key hub genes and hub lncRNAs, most of which significantly inhibit influenza virus replication. Notably, the downstream IRF1AS assembles into an enhancer cluster, orchestrating and cis-regulating the transcription of IRF1 to activate the interferon system. This investigation enhances our understanding of the regulatory network underlying viral infections and offers novel insights into immune regulatory mechanisms.
Urbanization carries essential influences to ecosystem of soil bacteria in coastal cities. Comprehending the patterns and drivers of bacterial diversity are essential to understanding how soil ecosystems respond to environmental change. This study aimed to explore how soil bacterial community (SBC) response to distinct urbanization of coastal cities on composition, assembly process and potential function in Guangdong province, south China. 72 samples from 24 sample sites within 3 cities were included in the study. Soil chemical properties were analyzed, and the bacterial community were investigated by high-throughout sequencing. Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria were the main phyla. Assembly processes remained in stochastic processes and co-occurrence network of SBC kept stable, while urbanization altered SBC by influencing the dominant phyla. The indicators of communities in coastal city soils were the genera gamma_proteobacterium and beta_proteobacterium. Urbanized extent was the non-negligible factor which affected soil bacterial community, despite the total carbon was still the most vital. The impact of urbanization on bacterial communities might follow a non-linear pattern. Faprotax function prediction showed different urbanized coastal city soils share similar metabolic potential. Our study improved our understanding of the response of soil bacterial communities to urbanization in subtropical coastal cities and offered a useful strategy to monitor the ecology risk toward the soil under urbanization.

In this study, we analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Speiredonia retorta, which is a pest and a member of the Lepidoptera order. In total, the S. retorta mitogenome was found to contain 15,652 base pairs encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, as well as an adenine (A)+thymine (T)-rich region. These findings were consistent with the mitogenome composition of other lepidopterans, as we identified all 13 PCGs beginning at ATN codons. We also found that 11 PCGs terminated with canonical stop codons, whereas cox2 and nad4 exhibited incomplete termination codons. By analyzing the mitogenome of S. retorta using Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) models, we were able to further confirm that this species is a member of the Erebidae family.

In the present study, the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Parasa tessellata (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae) is described. The mitogenome (15,308 bp) of P. tessellata encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and an adenine (A) + thymine (T)-rich region. Its gene complement and order are similar to that of other sequenced lepidopterans. Phylogenetic analyses based on 13 PCGs using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) revealed that P. tessellata resides in the Sphingidae family.

The three croakers (Nibea coibor, Protonibea diacanthus and Argyrosomus amoyensis, Perciformes, Sciaenidae) are important commercial species inhabiting the Eastern Indian Ocean and Western Pacific. Molecular data employed in previous research on phylogenetic reconstruction have not been adequate and complete, and systematic and comprehensive phylogenetic relationships for these fish are unresolved. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of the three croakers using next-generation sequencing for the first time. We analyzed the composition and phylogenies between 19 species in the family Sciaenidae using the mitochondrial protein coding sequences of 204 species in the Series Eupercaria. We present the characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of the three croakers. Gene arrangement and distribution of the three croakers are canonically identical and consistent with other vertebrates. We found that the family Sciaenidae is an independent branch that is isolated from the order Perciformes and does not belong to any extant classification. Therefore, this family is expected to belong to a new classification at the order level and needs further analysis. The evolution of Sciaenidae has lagged far behind the Perciformes differentiation. This study presents a novel insight into the phylogenetics of the family Sciaenidae from the order Perciformes and facilitates additional studies on the evolution and phylogeny of Series Eupercaria.
The apple snails Pomacea canaliculata, Pomacea diffusa and Pomacea maculate (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda: Ampullariidae) are invasive pests causing massive economic losses and ecological damage. We sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genomes of these snails to conduct phylogenetic analyses based on comparisons with the mitochondrial protein coding sequences of 47 Caenogastropoda species. The gene arrangements, distribution and content were canonically identical and consistent with typical Mollusca except for the tRNA-Gln absent in P. diffusa. An identifiable control region (d-loop) was absent. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis indicated that all the Ampullariidae species clustered on the same branch. The genus Pomacea clustered together and then with the genus Marisa. The orders Architaenioglossa and Sorbeoconcha clustered together and then with the order Hypsogastropoda. Furthermore, the intergenic and interspecific taxonomic positions were defined. Unexpectedly, Ceraesignum maximum, Dendropoma gregarium, Eualetes tulipa and Thylacodes squamigerus, traditionally classified in order Hypsogastropoda, were isolated from the order Hypsogastropoda in the most external branch of the Bayesian inference tree. The divergence times of the Caenogastropoda indicated that their evolutionary process covered four geological epochs that included the Quaternary, Neogene, Paleogene and Cretaceous periods. This study will facilitate further investigation of species identification to aid in the implementation of effective management and control strategies of these invasive species.
