description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a persistent inflammatory disorder characterized by minor airway inflammation and emphysema involving various cell types and cytokines. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in the pathogenesis of lung diseases. This study investigates the impact of microRNA-24 (miR-24) on airway inflammatory responses in a rat model of COPD. The model was established by combining cigarette smoke exposure and lipopolysaccharide stimulation, and rat lung tissues were transfected with adeno-associated viruses overexpressing miR-24. Pathological changes in the lung were assessed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Expression of miR-24 and S100A8 was detected through quantitative reverse transcription PCR, while protein levels of S100A8, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88) were assessed using western blotting. Bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay were performed to determine the relationship between S100A8 and miR-24. The results demonstrated the downregulation of miR-24 in rats with COPD, and its overexpression resulted in a significant decrease in S1008 mRNA levels. Additionally, the protein level of S100A8 was significantly increased in the lung tissues of COPD rats. The upregulation of miR-24, however, not only inhibited the protein expression of S100A8, TLR4, and MyD88 in lung tissues but also reduced the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, thereby attenuating inflammatory responses and pathological injuries in the lung. Our data suggest that miR-24 attenuates airway inflammatory responses in COPD by inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88 pathway via targeting S100A8.

TF-SepNet: An Efficient 1D Kernel Design in CNNs for Low-Complexity Acoustic Scene Classification

description: Recent studies focus on developing efficient systems for acoustic scene classification (ASC) using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which typically consist of consecutive kernels. This paper highlights the benefits of using separate kernels as a more powerful and efficient design approach in ASC tasks. Inspired by the time-frequency nature of audio signals, we propose TF-SepNet, a CNN architecture that separates the feature processing along the time and frequency dimensions. Features resulted from the separate paths are then merged by channels and directly forwarded to the classifier. Instead of the conventional two dimensional (2D) kernel, TF-SepNet incorporates one dimensional (1D) kernels to reduce the computational costs. Experiments have been conducted using the TAU Urban Acoustic Scene 2022 Mobile development dataset. The results show that TF-SepNet outperforms similar state-of-the-arts that use consecutive kernels. A further investigation reveals that the separate kernels lead to a larger effective receptive field (ERF), which enables TF-SepNet to capture more time-frequency features.

description: Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory disorder. Pyroptosis represents a distinctive form of inflammatory cell death that is mediated through the activation of Caspase-1 and inflammasomes. CircRNAs have emerged as a novel class of biomolecules with implications in various human diseases. This study aims to investigate the circRNAs profile of in COPD progression and identify pivotal circRNAs associated with the development of this disease. Methods: he expression profiles of circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of COPD patients were assessed by circRNA microarray. Furthermore, flag-labeled vectors were constructed to assess the potential protein-coding capacity of has-circ-0008833. 16HBE cells were stably transfected with lentivirus approach, and cell proliferation and death were assessed to clarify the functional roles of has-circ-0008833 and its encoded protein circ-0008833aa. Additionally, western blot analysis was furthered performed to determine the level of Caspase-1, IL-18, IL-1β, NLRP3, ASC, and cleaved GSDMD regulated by has-circ-0008833 and circ-0008833-57aa. Results: Initially, we screened the expression profiles of human circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of COPD patients, and found that has-circ-0008833 exhibited a significant increase in COPD mononuclear cells. Subsequently, we demonstrated that has-circ-0008833 carried an open reading frame (ORF), which encoded a functional protein, referred to as circ-0008833-57aa. By employing gain-of-function approaches, our results suggested that both circ-0008833 and circ-0008833-57aa inhibited proliferation, but accelerated the rate of 16HBE cell death. Finally, we discovered that circ-0008833 and circ-0008833-57aa promoted the expression of Caspase-1, IL-18, IL-1β, NLRP3, ASC, and cleaved GSDMD in 16HBE cells. Conclusions: Upregulation of circ-0008833 might promote COPD progression by inducing pyroptosis of bronchial epithelial cells through the encoding of a 57-amino acid peptide.

description: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have become widely used in model training, as they can improve performance and/or protect sensitive information by generating data. However, this also raises potential risks, as malicious GANs may compromise or sabotage models by poisoning their training data. Therefore, it is important to verify the origin of a model’s training data for accountability purposes. In this work, we take the first step in the forensic analysis of models trained on GAN-generated data. Specifically, we first detect whether a model is trained on GAN-generated or real data. We then attribute these models, trained on GAN-generated data, to their respective source GANs. We conduct extensive experiments on three datasets, using four popular GAN architectures and four common model architectures. Empirical results show the remarkable performance of our detection and attribution methods. Furthermore, we conduct a more in-depth study and reveal that models trained on various data sources exhibit different decision boundaries and behaviours.

description: Recent advances in cystic fibrosis (CF) treatments have led to improved survival, with life expectancy for Australians living with CF at 57yo. As life expectancy improves, long-term cardiovascular disease risk factors (as for the general population) will become an issue in these patients. We hypothesized that increased leukocyte expression of vasoconstriction and pro-fibrotic mediators may contribute to CF severity in adults with CF. We recruited 13 adult and 24 pediatric healthy controls, and 53 adults and 9 children living with CF. Leukocyte expression/release of endothelin-1 (ET1) and members of the TGF-β/Smad signaling were measured by multifluorescence quantitative confocal microscopy, Western blotting, ELISA, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The association between plasma ET1 levels and lung function was assessed. Leukocytes from adults living with CF expressed higher ET1 levels (p = 0.0033), and TGF-β (p = 0.0031); the phosphorylation ratio increased for Smad2/3 (p = 0.0136) but decreased for Smad1/5/8 (p = 0.0007), vs. control subjects. Plasma ET1 levels were significantly increased in adults with CF with FEV1<50% (p = 0.002) vs. controls, and adults with CF with normal lung function. The release of ET1 in adult plasma inversely correlated with CF severity (-0.609, p = 0.046). Our data indicates that upregulated ET1 and TGF-β/Smad signaling in leukocytes may contribute to CF severity, highlighting the need for further investigations into their impact on the clinical outcomes of people living with CF.

description: The transcriptional repressor B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) has been reported to inhibit inflammation. So far, experimental evidence for the role of BCL6 in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is lacking. Our study investigated the roles of BCL6 in the progression of BPD and its downstream mechanisms. Hyperoxia or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to mimic the BPD mouse model. To investigate the effects of BCL6 on BPD, recombination adeno-associated virus serotype 9 expressing BCL6 (rAAV9-BCL6) and BCL6 inhibitor FX1 were administered in mice. The pulmonary pathological changes, inflammatory chemokines and NLRP3-related protein were observed. Meanwhile, BCL6 overexpression plasmid was used in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs). Cell proliferation, apoptosis, and NLRP3-related protein were detected. Either hyperoxia or LPS suppressed pulmonary BCL6 mRNA expression. rAAV9-BCL6 administration significantly inhibited hyperoxia-induced NLRP3 upregulation and inflammation, attenuated alveolar simplification and dysregulated angiogenesis in BPD mice, which were characterized by decreased mean linear intercept, increased radical alveolar count and alveoli numbers, and the upregulated CD31 expression. Meanwhile, BCL6 overexpression promoted proliferation and angiogenesis, inhibited apoptosis and inflammation in hyperoxia-stimulated HPMECs. Moreover, administration of BCL6 inhibitor FX1 arrested growth and development. FX1-treated BPD mice exhibited exacerbation of alveolar pathological changes and pulmonary vessel permeability, with upregulated mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and pro-fibrogenic factors. Furthermore, both rAAV9-BCL6 and FX1 administration exerted a long-lasting effect on hyperoxia-induced lung injury (≥4 wk). BCL6 inhibits NLRP3-mediated inflammation, attenuates alveolar simplification and dysregulated pulmonary vessel development in hyperoxia-induced BPD mice. Hence, BCL6 may be a target in treating BPD and neonatal diseases.

description: Background: Macrophages constitute the main part of infiltrating immune cells in Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and abnormally high ratios of M2 macrophages are present in both pleural effusion and tissue samples of MPM patients. Whether MPM cells affect formation of M2 macrophages is poorly understood. In this study, we focused on identification of MPM-cells-derived soluble factors with M2-promoting effects. Methods: Media of malignant pleural mesothelioma cells were collected and soluble factors affecting macrophages were analyzed by mass spectrometry. TGF-β receptor inhibitor SB431542 was used as the entry point to explore the downstream mechanism of action by qRT-PCR, WB and immunofluorescence. Results: The serum-free culture media collected from the human MPM cells Meso1 and Meso2 significantly enhanced expression of the M2 signature molecules including IL-10, TGF-β and CD206 in the human macrophages THP-1, while the culture medium of the human MPM cells H2452 did not show such M2-promoting effects. Analysis of proteins by mass spectrometry and ELISA suggested that Leucine rich α2 glycoprotein 1(LRG1) was a potential candidate. LRG1 time- and dose-dependently increased expression of the M2 signature molecules, confirming its M2-promoting effects. Furthermore, LRG1’s M2-promoting effects were reduced by the TGF-β receptor inhibitor SB431542, and LRG1 increased phosphorylation of Smad2, indicating that M2-promoting effects of LRG1 were via the TGF-β receptor/Smad2 signaling pathway. Conclusions: Our results provide a potential M2-promoting new member, LRG1, which contributes to the immune escape of MPM via the TGF-β receptor/Smad2 signaling pathway.

description: Information on texture of steam‐cooked potato is of increased importance for consumers of fresh potatoes. As potato texture not only depends on genetic disposition but also on growth conditions, simple and reliable methods are needed to improve characterization of single potato lots. In the present study 65 potato lots were fractionized to 192 tuber samples according to their specific gravity and used for sensory evaluations. The aim was: (1) to further clarify the role of tuber specific gravity, variety and growth condition for texture attributes; and (2) to develop statistical models to predict potato texture objectively and reliably. Texture attributes varied considerably within varieties. The attributes mealiness, dryness, graininess were closely interrelated. Within the varieties, the three attributes as well as sloughing correlated with specific gravity (r = 0.78–0.96). Thus, they were predicted by specific gravity using variety‐dependent models. Alternatively, using variety‐independent models mealiness was predicted by the two parameters specific gravity and sloughing. Softness was related to the variety, but not to specific gravity. The statistical models may be helpful in optimizing the allocation of individual potato lots to specific cooking types for the retail market and for processing. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Information on texture of steam‐cooked potato is of increased importance for consumers of fresh potatoes. We were approached by the potato industry to develop simple and reliable methods for characterization of single potato lots in trade. The objective measurement of texture by instrumental methods is rarely performed for routine testing, probably because of the laborious procedures. The measurement of tuber specific gravity is very simple. However, the relationship between specific gravity and various texture attributes is still not clear. We elaborate the relationship in an extensive evaluation using a broad range of potato lots. The models presented here may be applied directly for routine testing. We also suggest adaptations for routine calibration of new varieties and for routine testing of single lots. Further, the study encourages the scale‐up of technologies which allow the grading of potatoes according to their specific gravity and thereby increase significantly texture homogeneity.
