ObjectiveTo explore the correlations between botanical characteristics, biological characteristics, growth environment, and medicinal properties of common pteridophyte-derived Chinese medicinal materials, thus providing evidence for the theory of quality evaluation through morphological identification and giving insights into the extensive and reasonable application of pteridophytes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). MethodThe medicine parts, habitats, natures, tastes, and effects of the commonly used pteridophyte-derived Chinese medicinal materials were summarized. The commonly used pteridophyte-derived Chinese medicinal materials were retrieved from the Pharmacopoeia of China, Dictionary of Chinese Materia Medica, and related literature. Excel 2016, ChiPlot, Cytoscape 3.7.1, SPSS 21.0, and weiciyun software were used for statistical analysis. ResultThe frequency of the habitats followed the trend of streamside wetland>tree trunk and rock crevices>sunslope>water surface. The frequency of medicinal parts presented the trend of whole plant>rhizome>leaf>dried aboveground part>spore. The frequency of natures was in the order of cool>cold>plain>warm>hot, and that of tastes was in an order of bitter>pungent>sweet>bland>salty. The frequency of meridian tropism followed the trend of liver meridian>stomach meridian>lung meridian>kidney meridian>bladder meridian>heart meridian>large intestine meridian>spleen meridian>small intestine meridian. The effects of the pteridophyte-derived Chinese medicinal materials followed a frequency trend of clearing heat and detoxifying>promoting urination and relieving stranguria>cooling blood and stopping bleeding>activating blood and resolving stasis>dispelling wind and eliminating dampness. ConclusionThe pteridophyte-derived Chinese medicinal materials mainly have a cool nature, a bitter taste, and tropism to the liver meridian. Whole plants and roots are mainly used for medicinal purposes, and most of these plants grow in the wetlands near rivers, under trees, and in tree trunk and rock crevices. The main effects of these medicinal materials are clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling wind and removing dampness, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, activating blood and resolving stasis, and soothing meridians and dredging collaterals. There are certain correlations between the structures, habitats, medicinal parts, and effects of pteridophyte-derived Chinese medicinal materials, which provide reference for the development and utilization of pteridophyte-derived Chinese medicinal material resources.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation among the botanical characteristics, biological characteristics, chemical composition, and medicinal properties and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) from latex-containing plants, so as to strengthen the theory of "identifying symptoms for qualities" and provide a reference for the development and utilization of the latex-containing plant resources. MethodStatistics on the meridians for properties and tastes, efficacy, medicinal parts, family and genus, and chemical components of TCM from latex-containing plants were carried out. A total of 53 TCM from latex-containing plants included in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia were screened by mining the Chinese Botanical Journal, Chinese Materia Medica, Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicines, and related literature. In addition, their meridians for properties and tastes, medicinal parts, chemical components, and TCM classifications were summarized and statistically analyzed by using Excel 2013 and ChiPlot 2023.3.31 software. ResultIt was found that latex-containing plants were mainly distributed in one kingdom, one phylum, two classes, and 20 families, and most of the TCM from latex-containing plants belonged to Dicotyledonaceae under Angiosperms. In terms of properties and tastes, plain>cold>warm>cool>hot and bitter>pungent>sweet>sour>salty. In terms of meridians, liver>lung>kidney>spleen=large intestine=stomach>heart>bladder=gallbladder=small intestines. In terms of medicinal parts, roots (root, rhizomes, tuberous root, and root bark)>resin>seed>whole herb (whole herb and above-ground part)>stem (stem and branch)>fruit>leaf>flower=skin. In terms of research on chemical components, they were mostly glycosides. In terms of TCM classification, they were mostly medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. ConclusionThe TCM from latex-containing plants is mainly plain, with a uniform warm and cold distribution. The tastes are mainly bitter and pungent, and the major meridians are the liver and lung. The roots and resins are mainly used as medicines. The components mostly contain glycosides, alkaloids, and volatile oils, and most of them are medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as well as for removing heat and toxins. There is a certain degree of correlation among the growth habits, medicinal parts, chemical components, and the properties, tastes, and efficacy of the TCM from latex-containing plants. It may provide a reference for resource development and utilization of TCM from latex-containing plants.

RBM46 is a germ cell-specific RNA-binding protein required for gametogenesis, but the targets and molecular functions of RBM46 remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that RBM46 binds at specific motifs in the 3'UTRs of mRNAs encoding multiple meiotic cohesin subunits and show that RBM46 is required for normal synaptonemal complex formation during meiosis initiation. Using a recently reported, high-resolution technique known as LACE-seq and working with low-input cells, we profiled the targets of RBM46 at single-nucleotide resolution in leptotene and zygotene stage gametes. We found that RBM46 preferentially binds target mRNAs containing GCCUAU/GUUCGA motifs in their 3'UTRs regions. In Rbm46 knockout mice, the RBM46-target cohesin subunits displayed unaltered mRNA levels but had reduced translation, resulting in the failed assembly of axial elements, synapsis disruption, and meiotic arrest. Our study thus provides mechanistic insights into the molecular functions of RBM46 in gametogenesis and illustrates the power of LACE-seq for investigations of RNA-binding protein functions when working with low-abundance input materials.
