"As you step out on the road I'll say a prayer. So that in my heart you always will be there.This is not goodbye, I know we'll meet again. So let your life begin because this is not goodbye. It's just "I love you" to take with you until you're home again"
"当你踏上旅程,我会为你祈祷,这样你会一直留在我内心深处。这不是告别,我知道我们会再次相见。开启你新的生命吧,因为,这不是告别;带着我对你的爱上路吧,直到你归来。"

Hi Dr. Xie,
I hope you had a good thanksgiving in heaven. The Christmas of this year is close. We miss you, especially in December. Each time thinking of you, I would work harder and smarter than usual because I know that you are still staring at me in heaven, and I can not disappoint you. No matter where I work and who I work for, I always thought to be well behaved because I know that we still represent you as being trained by you. Now you see how much influence you put on us! Yes, you just had this magical power. It's good to talk to you a little bit today. Merry Christmas!

今日突然得知Dr. Xie去世的噩耗,彻夜难眠。我是三年前作为访学来到MIIR完成毕业实习的,从一到美国开始您就对我们百般照顾,请我们吃晚餐、给我们买球票、陪我们散步,帮助我们快速融入美国的新生活。你常常会在Lab meeting上停下来问我们问题,让我们积极参与讨论,还记得有一次你问到蛋白质加热之后会怎么样,我说precipitate,你夸我smart,之后每当我遇到困难时我总会想起这个画面,告诉自己我能行。MIIR这三个多月是我真正科研训练的开端,为我后来的研究生生活奠定了坚实的基础。一直想着找个时间回去看看,没曾想……愿您在天堂一切安好!

Rest in Peace, Dr. Xie!

Dr. Xie and his family have been some of our closest friends for literally as long as I can remember. I was in preschool when we moved into a house on the same street as them. I have fond childhood memories of having dinner with their family...I was a big fan of the pork ribs and cheese soup he made. Afterwards we would play board games or watch movies while the adults played cards. Without fail, Dr. Xie would always have a humorous comment ready to share at our gatherings. For example, once I was in high school he often happily offered me a beer.

I am also one of those many family friends who made the rite of passage through his research lab. I was maybe a high school sophomore then. It was my first time learning what research was, and from my few weeks there I could tell that Dr. Xie really cared about his work. I was tired out by riding in the car for an hour each morning and evening, let alone driving it and doing a full day's work. I also realized that Dr. Xie wanted his students to succeed and improve. I recall him reading my first write-up on a research article and saying that as a professor he thought I did a solid job, but if he were my parent reading it would make him want to spank me.

Later, I did more lab research in college, and ultimately went to medical school. While there's no chance I would touch basic science research again, I've taken quite a liking to clinical research and hope he would take some satisfaction in that (but maybe not!). As I continue learning to take care of patients, I remember those who helped me get here, including Dr. Xie.

I had hoped to make it to the memorial but unfortunately wasn't able to attend, so wanted to say that I have cherished memories of Dr. Xie and his family. I won't forget them.

Dear Jian:
今晚晓亮打电话告诉我, 你们的paper 终于被Science Advances接收了。我的泪水顿时涌了出来....
你的新理论终于被人接受了。这是你30多年的努力和付出,你始终坚信你的理念,无论别人如何排斥你,孤立你,你告诉我,你不在乎他们。 你好坚强。 记得吗?我曾鼓励你 :Don’t wrong, you lost just a battle now, but you will win a war if you believe the trues. 你终于赢了。我为你高兴!为你自豪!
多想亲亲你! 看到你欣慰的一笑!
我的笑容被泪水代替了.....

Dear Jian
Tonight, Xiao Liang called and told me that your paper was finally accepted by the Science Advances. My tears burst out.
Your new theory is finally accepted. This is more than 30 years of your efforts, you always believe in your ideas, no matter how others reject you, isolate you, you tell me, you don't care about them. You're strong man. Do you Remember? I encouraged you: “Don't wrong, you lost just a battle now, but you will win a war if you believe the trues.” you finally won. I'm happy for you! Proud of you!
I want to kiss you! See your happy smile!
My smile was replaced by tears. ...

It is so shocking and saddening to hear the news about Jian from Sandrine. Even though I've known Jian for only 2 years through work and remote collaboration, he has impressed me very much as a talented and brilliant scientist, a dedicated teacher, an effective collaborator, and a kind gentleman. My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to Yahong, Jian's family and colleagues. He will be truly missed.

我们和子建虽然见面不多,但是通过和亚红的聊天及别人的交通,觉得子建不仅是一位模范丈夫和一位严慈的父亲,他更是一位杰出的教授和科学家。我们非常悲痛癌症使他英年早逝,这不仅仅是亚红朋友巨大的损失,也是我们侨居美国的中国人的损失,也是科学界的巨大损失。

Jian,请允许我这样继续称呼您,当我抵达上海在酒店清晨醒来时,得知您的消息,瞬间觉得胸口很闷透不过气,原本以为回美后找机会再去陪您聊聊天,可这一切竟成为了一种奢求。2005年5月25日至2007年5月31日在您的实验室里做交换生,是我学生时代度过的最美好时光,您学术严谨、生活简单的态度令我受益匪浅,您的一言一行在我脑海里依旧是那样的清晰,能成为您指导的学生是我莫大的荣幸。记得2007年5月底离开实验室回国前一天,您带我去学校的shopping store让我选一件礼物,我说:“Jian,不用了,您已经送我非常精美的水晶玻璃球了,这个原本只有您的学生毕业答辩后您才颁发的礼物,我已经提前拿到了,这是您对我在您实验室里工作的最大认可了”。完了,您说:Changjun, you do not want to make my life to be complicated, right?我说:“那好吧,那我选一条带UT logo的领带吧,我回国答辩时可以带”。那是一条金黄色的领带,我依然保留着,因为它意义非凡。您知道吗,后来每当我送好朋友一些小礼物时,他们会说昌军好朋友间不用这么客气的。我就把导师您说过的话对朋友再转述一遍: you do not want to make my life to be complicated, right?一句简单的话,让彼此双方感觉是那样的舒服。所有的这些过往点点滴滴,想忘是忘不掉的,非常遗憾没有见上您最后一面,希望您在另一个世界一切安好,大家相见的那一天,您依旧是我最敬佩的恩师!

I have never thought, that I would have become one of those suffering from long, sleepless nights.

It was a well-attended celebration of your life, Lao Xie. You would be very proud of Joe and all of your family members. I met many of your friends, neighbours, colleagues and former students. The vivid life of yours was relived.

Like Sheng and Wei’s comments, I recalled your peering gaze after you gave us a glass of wine to taste. As we murmured and could not express ourselves clearly, you would smile and encouragingly say, “Come on, you know better than this.”

You had impact so many people’s lives and we are very fortunate to be part of your life.

Jian, we celebrated your life yesterday at a place you are familiar with. I met so many old friends, each one of them reminds me of you. They are your friends, colleagues, and students. I worked with you for 22 years. 22-year is not a short time in a person’s life. I don’t know how much you influenced me, I remember one time David told me “you talk like Jian”. I know even at the last few days of your life, you still cares me and my work. I know we gathered here yesterday, not to say goodbye to you, but to celebrate your beautiful life. We know we will see you again and we will remember all you have taught us.

This is Yaqi, Yahong’s high schoolmate even though we didn’t know at the time until we became friends in Ann Arbor. On behalf of my husband Ying Yuan and several our former Pfizer colleagues and friends, Xiaodan Ren, Xianxian Zheng and Ling Li, I would like to say few words. Today we are celebrating Jian’s extraordinary life, at meanwhile we have to say something about Yahong. Yes she is Jian’s loving wife, they raised two wonderful sons, she also has her own career as a biologist. This is a happy family, husband achieved huge success in science, two kids became or soon become medical doctors. As we all knew, Yahong is not aggressive but quiet. Quietly made all the family business done, quietly took good care of her husband, her sons, her and Jian’s nephews, quietly support them in all aspects. She is a great contributor to their family’s happinesses. Can’t imagine all the family success if without Yahong’s efforts and supports. Yahong, Jian is the lucky one to have you as his wife. He is in heaven now, eventually we’ll be all united there. But in this moment and coming days, months and years, you still have all of us, your good friends. We’ll be here for you. Be strong! We all love you and will forever miss Jian.

亚红,真不知道用什么方式来安慰你。任聪和我每天都在念叨你们一家人。30年前在Toledo 与子健和你及家人度过的那些时光让人难以忘怀。我们的孩子们在一起摸爬滚打,大人们钓鱼,包饺子,聊着家常话,打地铺的曰子也过得欢乐无比,一幕幕就像发生在昨天一样!让我们怎么会相信子健走了?他的音容笑貌时时都浮现在我们面前。What we once enjoyed , we can never loss; All the time we spent together becomes a part of us. 让绽放的鲜花带去我们的思念,子健永远活在我们的心间!

We first met Zijian and his family in 2006. We are neighbors and good friends since then. We always see them walking in the neighborhood. Zijian,we call him 老谢,in addition to his success in science, will be remembered forever as a gentleman with a smiley face and a character of deep humor. He was a fine wine lover, and created arts displaying the numerous bottle corks he collected. We talked a lot about organic gardening, and loved him to come to our garden for a few hot peppers or anything he liked. We enjoyed his 高超的厨艺 at dinners in his house. Just a couple of months ago, we had the pleasure to be invited to have dinner with him and his wife, Yahong, in their house. As always, we enjoyed the dishes he made, stat of the art of cooking. We cannot believe he will not come to our backyard garden for a bunch of hot peppers or other vegetables he liked. 老谢,you will be remembered forever by us.

His Life

Biography/Obituary

January 19, 2020
Dr. Zijian Xie. Ph.D, passed away on January 17 th , 2020 at the age of 59 after a long and
courageous battle against pancreatic cancer.

Zijian was born on December 27 th , 1960 in Changzhou, China, as the oldest of three siblings. He earned a Bachelor’s degree from Nanjing College of Pharmacy in Nanjing, China, in 1982, followed by a Master’s degree in toxicology at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing in 1984. He was the first in his family to earn the opportunity to travel to and study in the United States and received his doctorate in pharmacology at the Medical College of Ohio (now University of Toledo) in 1990.

At the University of Toledo, he served as a tenured Professor of Physiology, Pharmacology and Medicine, and co-director of the M.D./Ph.D. program. His laboratory became internationally recognized for its work in elucidating the mechanism of several cellular pathways and their association with renal, heart and vascular disease, and cancer. In 2013, Zijian was recruited to Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia to be the Director of the Marshall Institute for Interdisciplinary Research (MIIR), where he continued his ground-breaking research.

At the time of his passing, he had authored or co-authored over 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts and book chapters. He also served as the principal investigator or co-investigator on National Institutes of Health-sponsored research totaling over $10 million and international projects totaling more than $1 million in funding. His work also led to several patented applications for medical inventions and spin-off companies. However, throughout his illustrious 30-year career in academia, he most cherished the friendships he formed along the way with hundreds of former colleagues, collaborators, students, and staff.

Zijian is survived by his wife of 35 years, Yahong, and their children, Joe and Jeff. His
immediate family also includes his mother, Liu Yan Qing, his sisters Min Min and Yong Hong,
and his nephews and niece, Xiao Liang, Li Xin, and Xin Rui. He will be deeply missed by all.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 1st, 2020. Further details on the event location and time can be found on this website.

怀念我们的大哥哥,谢子建
今天有位朋友要去MCO就职,我就突然想起了子建大哥和亚红姐,上网去查查吧,却突然发现子建大哥过世的噩耗。心中是万般的悲伤,泪如泉涌。虽然我们认识你是在31年前,但子建大哥在我们心目当中永远是一位顶天立地的男子汉. 
那是一九八九年的秋天我先生褚衍芳,被MCO录取了。只有25岁的他只身面对种种困难,要到MCO来求学。我们全家人在国内焦急地等待他的回音。他写给我的信当中详细描述了子建大哥和亚红姐去Toledo机场接他,然后带他到家里留宿。之后又帮他安排一系列的学校里注册,找公寓,直到把他安顿了下来。我们在国内都觉得非常非常的欣慰,幸运有如此的好学长。等到我来到MCO读书的时候我们都在一个系,天天可在走廊里或者是Lunch Room看到子建大哥高大的身影,和蔼可亲的笑容,听到他朗朗的笑声。记得第一次被邀请到他们家去开party,那时他们已经有两个孩子,还有房子。他们的生活就是我们这些初来乍到的学生的梦想。他们为我们做了一个非常好的榜样,让我们看到生活在这个国家也是可以非常美好的..... 很快三四年的学习就这样子结束了。毕业了我们都各奔了东西,过去的美好记忆像陈年的酒,都留在了心底,总想等时机,再回首再相聚,时间过得真是太快了,一晃都30年了,真的也没想到子建大哥就这样快地离开了我们。相聚易难,别亦难,在此真心的想告诉子建大哥,谢谢你,怀念你。

A caveolin binding motif in Na/K-ATPase is required for stem cell differentiation and organogenesis in mammals and C. elegans

Xiaoliang Wang1*†, Liquan Cai1*, Jeffrey X. Xie2, Xiaoyu Cui1, Jue Zhang1, Jiayan Wang1,Yiliang Chen3, Isabel Larre1, Joseph I. Shapiro4, Sandrine V. Pierre1, Dianqing Wu5,Guo-Zhang Zhu1,6, Zijian Xie1

Several signaling events have been recognized as essential for regulating cell lineage specification and organogenesis in animals. We find that the gain of an amino-terminal caveolin binding motif (CBM) in the subunit of the Na/K–adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (NKA) is required for the early stages of organogenesis in both mice and Caenorhabditis elegans. The evolutionary gain of the CBM occurred at the same time as the acquisition of the binding sites for Na+/K+. Loss of this CBM does not affect cell lineage specification or the initiation of organogenesis, but arrests further organ development. Mechanistically, this CBM is essential for the dynamic operation of Wnt and the timely up-regulation of transcriptional factors during organogenesis. These results indicate that the NKA was evolved as a dual functional protein that works in concert with Wnt as a hitherto unrecognized common mechanism to enable stem cell differentiation and organogenesis in multicellular organisms within the animal kingdom.

Dear Jian,
Congratulations! Your newest and brightest concept of life science has finally come out.

(Sci. Adv. 2020; 6 : eaaw5851 27 May 2020)

I believe that in the near future, people will rewrite the meaning of Na/K-ATPase to life and apply it to treat diseases for the benefit of mankind. In the psalms for human life, you can finally draw a full stop.

你是一个永远为他人着想的人,特别是为我。当你为他人安排完毕之后,在你清醒的最后一刻,你握着我的手说:“Hong,我不能再陪伴你了。我对不起你,对不起”

昨天,当我清理我的书桌时,发现了一封不知你何时留给我的最后一封信。你写到:“ 亲爱的亚红:你是一个坚强的人。太多的爱在环绕着你;太多的心在保护着你,特别是我,特别是现在。”

亲爱的建,我知道,我们都知道,你累了,太累了,该休息了。

放心吧,我们会沿着你的路永不停步!你会永远,永远活在我,和我们的心里!

亲爱的建,你知道吗?今天有106位亲朋好友来自不同的地方用鲜花和香槟庆祝你光辉灿烂的一生。你会为自己的一生而骄傲! 我们会永远爱你!永记心中!

To my Darling-Jian

Thank you to my Dear parents-in-law, for raising a son who was confident, optimistic, warm-hearted, ambitious and aspiring. A loving gift to me, that’s you, my darling Jian.

Thank you, Jian, for having me as your wife. There were so many girls who admired you. But you chose me and gave me a happy loving home. Your love never stopped from our first kiss until the end. You kissed me all the time in front of our kids and friends even though you knew this was not customary in Chinese culture to show your love openly. You took care of me.

We walked on this earth shoulder to shoulder for 35 years, we shared many happy moments and so many hobbies together, including golf. You were my first and the best golf coach. But you did get mad when I beat you. We also raised 2 sons and 2 nephews who grew up to be kind, intelligent, and aspiring just like you.

In our time together, wherever you were, you were surrounded by many, many dearest friends. You opened your heart to them, and they filled our lives with affection and love.

You were an intelligent and aspiring scholar. You loved your work. Your passion for science was fierce and never stopped until the end. You told me, your love for science was what you could hold on to when you fought for your life.

You fought a brave battle with cancer to make the most of your time. In the last phase of your life, you worked tirelessly day and night. You cared for every student and employee who worked for you. You mentored them and helped guide their future.

You were such a tough person. When you were in the hospital, you were afraid the painkiller would have clouded your mind. So, you refused to take them until the end.

You always put others before yourself, especially me. After you made all the proper arrangements for others, you held my hands in the last moment of your life, and said: “Hong, I can’t stay with you anymore. I am sorry, I am sorry….”

Yesterday, I found a card you hid on my table. You wrote: Dear Yahong: you are a strong woman. So many loves surrounding you, So many hearts are caring for you, Especially mine, Especially now. Love, Jian

Dear Jian, I know, we all know, you were too tired. You shall rest.

Don’t worry. We will continue the path you wished. You will forever live in my heart and our hearts.

Dear Jian, today, your family and friends, either here in person or in thoughts, are here to celebrate your life and achievement. You should be proud for yourself. We all love you and will remember you forever in our hearts.

I am so lucky to have you, Thank you, my darling Jian!

Yours Hong
