Abstract Background The B3 superfamily (B3s) represents a class of large plant-specific transcription factors, which play diverse roles in plant growth and development process including flowering induction. However, identification and functional surveys of B3 superfamily have not been reported in ethylene-induced pineapple flowering (Ananas comosus). Results 57 B3 genes containing B3 domain were identified and phylogenetically classified into five subfamilies. Chromosomal localization analysis revealed that 54 of 57 AcB3s were located on 21 Linkage Groups (LG). Collinearity analysis demonstrated that the segmental duplication was the main event in the evolution of B3 gene superfamily, and most of them were under purifying selection. The analysis of cis-element composition suggested that most of these genes may have function in response to abscisic acid, ethylene, MeJA, light, and abiotic stress. qRT-PCR analysis of 40 AcB3s containing ethylene responsive elements exhibited that the expression levels of 35 genes were up-regulated within 1 d after ethephon treatment and some were highly expressed in flower bud differentiation period in stem apex, such as Aco012003, Aco019552 and Aco014401. Conclusion This study provides a basic information of AcB3s and clues for involvement of some AcB3s in ethylene-induced flowering in pineapple.

AbstractThe B3 superfamily is a plant-specific family, which involves in growth and development process. By now, the identification of B3 superfamily in pineapple (Ananas comosus) has not reported. In this study, 57 B3 genes were identified and further phylogenetically classified into five subfamilies, all genes contained B3 domain. Chromosomal localization analysis revealed that 54 of 57 AcB3 genes were located on 21 chromosomes.Collinearity analysis indicated that the segmental duplication was the main event in the evolution of B3 gene superfamily and most of them were under purifying selection. Moreover, there were 7 and 39 pairs of orthologous B3s were identified between pineapple and Arabidopsis or rice, respectively, which indicated the closer genetic relationship between pineapple and rice. Most genes had cis-element of abscisic acid, ethylene, MeJA, light, and abiotic stress. qRT-PCR showed that the expression level of most AcB3 genes were up-regulated within 1 d after ethephon treatment and expressed high level in flower bud differentiation period in stem apex. This study provide a comprehensive understanding of AcB3s and a basis for future molecular studies of ethephon induced pineapple flowering.

Thermogenic brown and beige adipocytes play an important role in combating obesity. Recent studies in rodents and humans have indicated that these adipocytes release cytokines, termed "batokines". Irisin was discovered as a polypeptide regulator of beige adipocytes released by myocytes, primarily during exercise. We performed global RNA sequencing on adipocytes derived from human subcutaneous and deep-neck precursors, which were differentiated in the presence or absence of irisin. Irisin did not exert an effect on the expression of characteristic thermogenic genes, while upregulated genes belonging to various cytokine signaling pathways. Out of the several upregulated cytokines, CXCL1, the highest upregulated, was released throughout the entire differentiation period, and predominantly by differentiated adipocytes. Deep-neck area tissue biopsies also showed a significant release of CXCL1 during 24 hours irisin treatment. Gene expression data indicated upregulation of the NFκB pathway upon irisin treatment, which was validated by an increase of p50 and decrease of IκBα protein level, respectively. Continuous blocking of the NFκB pathway, using a cell permeable inhibitor of NFκB nuclear translocation, significantly reduced CXCL1 release. The released CXCL1 exerted a positive effect on the adhesion of endothelial cells. Together, our findings demonstrate that irisin stimulates the release of a novel "batokine", CXCL1, via upregulation of NFκB pathway in neck area derived adipocytes, which might play an important role in improving tissue vascularization.
