N-methyladenosine (mA), the most abundant epitranscriptomic modification in eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA), plays important roles in regulation of gene expression for fundamental biological processes and diverse physiological functions, including combating with pathogen infection. Here, we were first profile transcriptome-wide mA sequencing in four stages of skin ulceration syndrome-diseased Apostichopus japonicus following Vibrio splendidus infection, including Control (healthy), Early (small ulcer), Later (extensive ulcer), and Resistant (no ulcer) groups. Our results revealed that three experimental groups were all extensively methylated by mA and the proportion of the mA modified genes were also significantly increased to 28.90% (Early), 27.97% (Later), and 29.98% (Resistant) when compared with Control group (15.15%), indicating mA modification could be induced by V. splendidus infection. Intriguingly, we discovered a positive correlation between the mA methylation level and mRNA abundance, indicating a positive regulatory role of mA in sea cucumber gene expression during V. splendidus infection. Moreover, genes with specific and differentially expressed mA methylation in Later group were both enriched in cell adhesion, while Early and Resistant groups were both mainly involved in DNA conformation change and chromosome organization when compared with Control, suggesting the higher-methylated mA might serve as "conformational marker" and associated to the initiation of related anti-disease genes transcription in order to improve disease resistance of sea cucumber. Subsequently, we selected the pivotal genes enriched in cell adhesion pathway and found that the IggFc-binding protein (FcGBP) and Fibrocystin-L both had higher levels of mA methylation and higher level of mRNA expressions in Later group. Conversely, Fibrinogen C domain-containing protein 1 (F1BCD1) gene presented as an antibacterial role in sea cucumber and showed higher mRNA expression and higher mA methylation in Resistant group and lower mRNA level in Later group. The levels of mA methylation and mRNA abundance of FcGBP and F1BCD1 genes indicates disease occurrence or disease resistant were also verified by MeRIP-qPCR. Overall, our study presents the first comprehensive characterize of dynamic mA methylation modification in the different stages of disease in sea cucumber. These data provide an invaluable resource for future studies of function and biological significance of mA in mRNA in marine invertebrates.

Bone metabolic disorders such as osteoporosis are characterized by the loss of mineral from the bone tissue leading to its structural weakening and increased susceptibility to fractures. A growing body of evidence suggests that inflammation and oxidative stress play an important role in the pathophysiological processes involved in the rise of these conditions. As the currently available therapeutic strategies are often characterized by toxic effects associated with their long-term use, natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds such as polyphenols promise to be a valuable alternative for the prevention and treatment of these disorders.

The prevalence of food allergies has increased in Asian countries. The aim of this study was to determine the potential value of sea cucumber peptide (SCP) for anti-allergic therapeutics in terms of their effect on immune response and gut microbiota composition. Results exhibited that SCP could significantly improve the allergy symptoms caused by ovalbumin and could reduce the risk of IgE mediated allergic disorders, as well as repair the morphological damage in the colon.

We compared antioxidant activity of the synthetic peptide Val-Leu-Leu-Tyr-Gln-Asp-His-Cys-His (VLLYQDHCH), sea cucumber peptide Val-Leu-Leu-Tyr (VLLY) and pine seed peptide Gln-Asp-His-Cys-His (QDHCH). The structure-activity relationship was analyzed based on radical scavenging ability and Raman, circular dichroism (CD) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Based on RP-HPLC, the contents of peptides in simulated gastrointestinal tract and digestive juices in rat intestinal sac were determined, and their absorption stability were explored. Read More
