ObjectiveTo investigate the novel post-translational modifications (PTMs) of SnRK2.6, a central component in the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway, such as SUMOylation, and to establish a foundation for revealing the physiological functions and molecular mechanisms of SnRK2.6 regulated by these new modifications. MethodsThe interaction between SnRK2.6 and the SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1, as well as members of the SUMO protease family, was examined using yeast two-hybrid and in vitro pull-down assays. An in vitro SUMOylation system in Escherichia coli was utilized to determine whether SnRK2.6 undergoes SUMOylation. Mass spectrometry, combined with site-directed mutagenesis of candidate lysine residues, was employed to identify potential SUMOylation sites on SnRK2.6. In vitro de-SUMOylation assays were performed to assess whether SUMO proteases interacting with SnRK2.6 could catalyze the removal of SUMO moieties from modified SnRK2.6. The protein stability of SnRK2.6 was assessed in a cell-free degradation assay using bacterial-purified SnRK2.6 incubated with total protein extracts from Col and siz1 mutant seedlings. To dissect the genetic relationship between SnRK2.6 and SIZ1, stomatal aperture assays were performed under ABA treatment using snrk2.6, siz1, and snrk2.6 siz1 double mutant plants. ResultsSnRK2.6 physically interacts with SIZ1 and the SUMO protease ESD4, with the binding domains localized to the C-terminal region of SIZ1 and the N-terminal region of ESD4, respectively. SnRK2.6 was found to be SUMOylated, exhibiting two distinct high-molecular-mass bands ranging from 70 to 100 ku, indicative of modified forms. Bioinformatics analysis predicted four putative SUMOylation sites on lysine residues K57, K63, K142, and K190. Mass spectrometry identified three SUMOylation sites on K63, K142, and K174. However, individual or combinatorial point mutations on these sites had minimal impact on the pattern or intensity of SUMOylation signals, suggesting that these residues may not be responsible for the SUMOylation on SnRK2.6. Instead, such mutations only weaken the protein stability or accelerate the protein mobility of SnRK2.6. Therefore, the exact SUMOylation sites on SnRK2.6 remain unidentified. In de-SUMOylation experiments, incubation of GST-ESD4 with SUMOylated SnRK2.6 for 1-2 h led to the near-complete disappearance of both SUMOylated bands. In contrast, neither the GST control nor the catalytically inactive mutant GST-ESD4^C448S exhibited any de-SUMOylation activity. In protein turnover experiments, SnRK2.6 exhibited markedly enhanced half-life in siz1 compared with Col, indicating that SIZ1-dependent SUMOylation promotes SnRK2.6 turnover. Phenotypically, snrk2.6 mutants were completely insensitive to ABA-induced stomatal closure; siz1 mutants displayed pronounced hypersensitivity; and the snrk2.6 siz1 double mutant phenocopied snrk2.6—showing no significant response to ABA beyond that of the snrk2.6 mutant. These data indicate that SIZ1 acts as a negative regulator of ABA-triggered stomatal closure and SnRK2.6 functions as a positive regulator, and the inhibitory activity of SIZ1 is strictly dependent on SnRK2.6, placing SnRK2.6 genetically upstream of SIZ1 in the ABA signaling pathway. ConclusionSnRK2.6 undergoes SUMOylation, although the specific SUMOylation sites have not been defined. SnRK2.6 is dynamically regulated by reversible SUMOylation—catalyzed by SIZ1 and reversed by ESD4—which controls its protein stability. SUMOylation acts as a destabilizing signal for SnRK2.6, and SIZ1 exerts its negative effect on ABA-triggered stomatal closure probably through promoting SnRK2.6 degradation via SUMOylation. These findings uncover SUMOylation as a critical regulatory layer fine-tuning SnRK2.6 abundance in ABA signaling.

Thyroid diseases are common clinical endocrine disorders， and their pathogenesis is generally considered to be closely related to genetic predisposition factors， immune system disorders， hormone levels， etc. Xiaoyaosan is widely used in the treatment of various thyroid diseases with excellent effects. This study summarized the relevant literature on the treatment of thyroid diseases with modified Xiaoyaosan prescriptions and their active ingredients from aspects such as theoretical analysis， clinical research， and mechanism research. Theoretical analysis revealed that Xiaoyaosan could not only disperse stagnated liver qi but also replenish deficient spleen Qi， which was consistent with the etiology and pathogenesis of thyroid diseases. Clinical studies found that Xiaoyaosan and its modified prescriptions could be widely used in the treatment of multiple thyroid diseases， such as hyperthyroidism， Hashimoto's thyroiditis， and thyroid nodules. Both the use of modified Xiaoyaosan alone and in combination with medications such as methimazole， propylthiouracil， and euthyrox could effectively improve patients' clinical symptoms. In the mechanism research， this study discovered that the whole formula of Xiaoyaosan and its modified prescriptions could inhibit inflammatory reactions， regulate immune balance， and delay liver damage during the treatment of thyroid diseases. The research on Xiaoyaosan for treating thyroid diseases mainly focused on thyroid cancer， autoimmune thyroiditis， hyperthyroidism， and hypothyroidism. The mechanisms of action mainly involved promoting cell apoptosis， inhibiting cell proliferation and migration， arresting the cell cycle， and regulating thyroid hormone levels. In conclusion， this study systematically combs and summarizes the research status of Xiaoyaosan in treating thyroid diseases through literature retrieval， aiming to provide new perspectives and new ideas for the prevention and treatment of thyroid diseases with traditional Chinese medicine.

[Objective] To systematically evaluate the therapeutic effect of washed red blood cells and white suspended red blood cells on patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and to provide reference for their clinical treatment. [Methods] CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and other databases from the establishment of the database to August 2024 were searched, including the randomized controlled trials of washed red blood cells and white suspended red blood cells in the treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia that met the requirements. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, meta-analysis was performed using Review manager 5.3 software and Stata 15.1 software to analyze the therapeutic effect of blood transfusion in the primary outcome, hematological indicators (Hb, Ret, RBC, and TBIL) of the two groups after blood transfusion and the occurrence of adverse blood transfusion reactions. [Results] After screening, 10 literatures meeting the criteria were retrieved, and a total of 753 patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia were treated with washed red blood cell infusion in the observation group and white suspended red blood cell infusion in the control group. Meta-analysis suggested that there was no significant difference in the therapeutic effect of transfusion between patients who received washed red cells and those received white suspended red cells[SMD=1.16, 95%CI (0.87, 1.54), P>0.05]. The hematological indexes of the two groups after transfusion (Hb [SMD=0.04, 95%CI (-0.14, 0.22), P>0.05]、Ret[SMD=-0.15, 95%CI (-0.34, 0.03), P>0.05]、RBC[SMD=0.08, 95%CI (-0.10, 0.26), P>0.05] and TBIL [SMD=-0.02, 95%CI (-0.18, 0.15), P>0.05]) and the incidence of transfusion adverse reactions[SMD=0.8, 95%CI (0.47, 1.39), P>0.05] were not significantly different. [Conclusion] Based on the current study, the efficacy and safety of infusion of washed red blood cells and white suspended red blood cells are comparable in patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. However, considering the simple preparation process of washed red blood cells and the low price, infusion of washed red blood cells is recommended for patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Objective To reveal the scientific output and trends in pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models. Methods Publications on predictive models of pulmonary nodules/early lung cancer between January 1, 2002 and June 3, 2023 were retrieved and extracted from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and Web of Science database. CiteSpace 6.1.R3 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 were used to analyze the hotspots and theme trends. Results A marked increase in the number of publications related to pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models was observed. A total of 12581 authors from 2711 institutions in 64 countries/regions published 2139 documents in 566 academic journals in English. A total of 282 articles from 1256 authors were published in 176 journals in Chinese. The Chinese and English journals which published the most pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction model-related papers were Journal of Clinical Radiology and Frontiers in Oncology, respectively. Chest was the most frequently cited journal. China and the United States were the leading countries in the field of pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models. The institutions represented by Fudan University had significant academic influence in the field. Analysis of keywords revealed that multi-omics, nomogram, machine learning and artificial intelligence were the current focus of research. Conclusion Over the last two decades, research on risk-prediction models for pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer has attracted increasing attention. Prognosis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, nomogram, and multi-omics technologies are both current hotspots and future trends in this field. In the future, in-depth explorations using different omics should increase the sensitivity and accuracy of pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models. More high-quality future studies should be conducted to validate the efficacy and safety of pulmonary nodules/early-stage lung cancer prediction models further and reduce the global burden of lung cancer.
