Endosomes are characterized by the presence of various phosphoinositides that are essential for defining the membrane properties. However, the interplay between endosomal phosphoinositides metabolism and innate immunity is yet to be fully understood. Here, our findings highlight the evolutionary continuity of RAB-10/Rab10's involvement in regulating innate immunity. Upon infection of Caenorhabditis elegans with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an increase in RAB-10 activity was observed in the intestine. Conversely, when RAB-10 was absent, the intestinal diacylglycerols (DAGs) decreased, and the animal's response to the pathogen was impaired. Further research revealed that UNC-16/JIP3 acts as an RAB-10 effector, facilitating the recruitment of phospholipase EGL-8 to endosomes. This leads to a decrease in endosomal phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and an elevation of DAGs, as well as the activation of the PMK-1/p38 MAPK innate immune pathway. It is noteworthy that the dimerization of UNC-16 is a prerequisite for its interaction with RAB-10(GTP) and the recruitment of EGL-8. Moreover, we ascertained that the rise in RAB-10 activity, due to infection, was attributed to the augmented expression of LET-413/Erbin, and the nuclear receptor NHR-25/NR5A1/2 was determined to be indispensable for this increase. Hence, this study illuminates the significance of endosomal PI(4,5)P2 catabolism in boosting innate immunity and outlines an NHR-25-mediated mechanism for pathogen detection in intestinal epithelia.

2.Mapping the knowledge domain of occupational health research in China
China Occupational Medicine 2022;49(2):186-190
Objective To map the knowledge domain of occupational health research in China. Methods Articles were
searched in the China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database using“occupational health”as the subject term. Journal
sources were limited to the journals of China Social Science Citation Index and core journals of China and Chinese Science
Citation Database. The search period starts in 1992 and ends on November 26,2021. The valid data was visually analyzed using
CiteSpace softwere. Results A total of 2 351 papers related to occupational health from 1992 to 2021 were obtained. In the past
30 years,the number of articles with the title of“occupational health”has been on the rise and reached its peak in 2014. China
Occupational Medicine,Chinese Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Diseases,and Chinese Journal of Industrial
Medicine were the top three journals in terms of number of articles published,which produced 438,339 and 280 articles
respectively. Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Guangdong Province Hospital for Occupational Disease
Prevention and Treatment were the top two organizations in terms of number of articles published,which produced 169 and 116
articles respectively. Occupational medical examination,occupational health surveillance,and occupational health risk
assessment were the three hot issues in the field of occupational health research. Conclusions In the past 30 years,
occupational health research in China has achieved remarkable progress in terms of article publications and interdisciplinary
cooperation,and future work should focus on the academic impact of articles and interdisciplinary research cooperation.
