Proteome specialization of anaerobic fungi during ruminal degradation of recalcitrant plant fiber

The rumen harbors a complex microbial mixture of archaea, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi that efficiently breakdown plant biomass and its complex dietary carbohydrates into soluble sugars that can be fermented and subsequently converted into metabolites and nutrients utilized by the host animal. While rumen bacterial populations have been well documented, only a fraction of the rumen eukarya are taxonomically and functionally characterized, despite the recognition that they contribute to the cellulolytic phenotype of the rumen microbiota. To investigate how anaerobic fungi actively engage in digestion of recalcitrant fiber that is resistant to degradation, we resolved genome-centric metaproteome and metatranscriptome datasets generated from switchgrass samples incubated for 48 h in nylon bags within the rumen of cannulated dairy cows. Across a gene catalog covering anaerobic rumen bacteria, fungi and viruses, a significant portion of the detected proteins originated from fungal populations. Intriguingly, the carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) profile suggested a domain-specific functional specialization, with bacterial populations primarily engaged in the degradation of hemicelluloses, whereas fungi were inferred to target recalcitrant cellulose structures via the detection of a number of endo- and exo-acting enzymes belonging to the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 5, 6, 8, and 48. Notably, members of the GH48 family were amongst the highest abundant CAZymes and detected representatives from this family also included dockerin domains that are associated with fungal cellulosomes. A eukaryote-selected metatranscriptome further reinforced the contribution of uncultured fungi in the ruminal degradation of recalcitrant fibers. These findings elucidate the intricate networks of in situ recalcitrant fiber deconstruction, and importantly, suggest that the anaerobic rumen fungi contribute a specific set of CAZymes that complement the enzyme repertoire provided by the specialized plant cell wall degrading rumen bacteria.

A single inactivating amino acid change in the SARS-CoV-2 NSP3 Mac1 domain attenuates viral replication in vivo

Despite unprecedented efforts, our therapeutic arsenal against SARS-CoV-2 remains limited. The conserved macrodomain 1 (Mac1) in NSP3 is an enzyme exhibiting ADP-ribosylhydrolase activity and a possible drug target. To determine the role of Mac1 catalytic activity in viral replication, we generated recombinant viruses and replicons encoding a catalytically inactive NSP3 Mac1 domain by mutating a critical asparagine in the active site. While substitution to alanine (N40A) reduced catalytic activity by ~10-fold, mutations to aspartic acid (N40D) reduced activity by ~100-fold relative to wild-type. Importantly, the N40A mutation rendered Mac1 unstable in vitro and lowered expression levels in bacterial and mammalian cells. When incorporated into SARS-CoV-2 molecular clones, the N40D mutant only modestly affected viral fitness in immortalized cell lines, but reduced viral replication in human airway organoids by 10-fold. In mice, the N40D mutant replicated at >1000-fold lower levels compared to the wild-type virus while inducing a robust interferon response; all animals infected with the mutant virus survived infection. Our data validate the critical role of SARS-CoV-2 NSP3 Mac1 catalytic activity in viral replication and as a promising therapeutic target to develop antivirals.

Atp7b-dependent choroid plexus dysfunction causes transient copper deficit and metabolic changes in the developing mouse brain

Copper (Cu) has a multifaceted role in brain development, function, and metabolism. Two homologous Cu transporters, Atp7a (Menkes disease protein) and Atp7b (Wilson disease protein), maintain Cu homeostasis in the tissue. Atp7a mediates Cu entry into the brain and activates Cu-dependent enzymes, whereas the role of Atp7b is less clear. We show that during postnatal development Atp7b is necessary for normal morphology and function of choroid plexus (ChPl). Inactivation of Atp7b causes reorganization of ChPl’ cytoskeleton and cell-cell contacts, loss of Slc31a1 from the apical membrane, and a decrease in the length and number of microvilli and cilia. In ChPl lacking Atp7b, Atp7a is upregulated but remains intracellular, which limits Cu transport into the brain and results in significant Cu deficit, which is reversed only in older animals. Cu deficiency is associated with down-regulation of Atp7a in locus coeruleus and catecholamine imbalance, despite normal expression of dopamine-β-hydroxylase. In addition, there are notable changes in the brain lipidome, which can be attributed to inhibition of diacylglyceride-to-phosphatidylethanolamine conversion. These results identify the new role for Atp7b in developing brain and identify metabolic changes that could be exacerbated by Cu chelation therapy.

Isolation and characterization of an anti-proliferative polysaccharide from the North American fungus Echinodontium tinctorium

Abstract A novel polysaccharide EtGIPL1a was purified from fruiting bodies of Echinodontium tinctorium , a fungus unique to western North America. EtGIPL1a has an estimated weight average molecular weight of 275 kDa and is composed of glucose (54.3%), galactose (19.6%), mannose (11.1%), fucose (10.3%), glucuronic acid (4%), and rhamnose (0.6%). It has multiple glycosidic linkages, with 3-Glc p (28.9%), 6-Glc p (18.3%), 3,6-Glc p (13%), 4-Glc p A (9.2%), 6-Gal p (3.9%), 2,6-Gal p (2.6%), 3-Fuc p (2.5%), 6-Man p (2.4%) being the most prominent, and unsubstituted glucose (15.3%), mannose (1.3%) and fucose (0.9%) as major terminal sugars. EtGIPL1a has a backbone containing mostly 3-substituted β -glucopyranose with 4-substituted glucopyranosyluronic acid. EtGIPL1a showed anti-proliferative activity against multiple cancer cell lines, with IC 50 ranging from 50.6 to 1446 nM. Flow cytometry analyses confirmed that apoptosis induction is one mechanism for its anti-proliferative activity. EtGIPL1a should be further investigated for its potential anti-cancer activity in animal models, and for its possible utility in differentiation cancer therapy.

The Presence of Virus Neutralizing Antibodies Is Highly Associated with Protection against Virulent Challenge in Domestic Pigs Immunized with ASFV live Attenuated Vaccine Candidates

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is currently producing a pandemic affecting a large area of Eurasia, and more recently, the Dominican Republic in the Western Hemisphere. ASFV is a large and structurally complex virus with a large dsDNA genome encoding for more than 150 genes. Live attenuated virus strains can induce protection in domestic swine against disease produced by homologous virulent parental viruses. The roles of the different immune mechanisms induced by the attenuated strains in protection still need to be understood. In particular, the role of ASFV neutralizing antibody in protection still is an important controversial issue to be elucidated. Here we present the development of a novel methodology to detect virus neutralizing antibodies based on the reduction of virus infectivity in a Vero cell adapted ASFV strain. The described method was used to assess levels of virus neutralizing antibodies in domestic swine inoculated with live attenuated ASFV. Results demonstrated a high association between the presence of virus neutralizing antibodies and protection in 84 animals immunized with the recombinant vaccine candidates ASFV-G-Δ9GL/ΔUK or ASFV-G-ΔI177L. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating an association between virus neutralizing antibodies and protection against virulent challenge in such a large number of experimental individuals.

Lignin’s Indispensable role in orchestrating seed stone formation: Insights from jujuba, peach and pear with future prospective on pitless fruits

A hard endocarp (i.e., stone) inside fruit is a characteristic of drupe fruits such as jujube, peach, mango, etc. Hard stone significantly affects the quality and downstream processing of fruits. The complex aromatic polymer lignin deposition in the secondary cell wall determines stone hardness. Lignin comprises phenylpropanoid units formed by hydroxycinnamoyl alcohol, which includes coniferyl, sinapyl, and p-coumaroyl alcohols. Lignin biosynthesis pathway involves a series of complex enzymatic reactions initiated from phenylalanine ammonia lyase and ends up polymerizing lignin monomers by laccase and peroxidase enzymes. Phytohormones, particularly auxin, gibberellins, and Ca²⁺ signaling, further modulate endocarp lignification by regulating transcriptional networks and lignin biosynthetic genes, thereby fine-tuning secondary cell wall thickening and stone hardness in drupe fruits. Lignin biosynthesis is controlled by both structural genes and transcriptional regulators. The structural genes encoding lignin biosynthetic enzymes include LAC12–1, PAL2, C4H, C3H, CSE, CCoAOMT, F5H, CAD, and PRX1. In addition, several transcription factors regulating secondary cell wall and lignin deposition, such as MYB24, bZIP48, and bZIP33 play key regulatory roles. Conversely, delignification or suppression of stone formation is associated with transcription factors (Pistillata, MYB32, FUL, and REPLUMLESS) and post-transcriptional regulators, including miR397a, miR31-3p, and miR8-5p. Accurate alteration in the expression of these genes will result in the attainment of stoneless fruits for cheap and hazel-free downstream processing.

TRIM46 contributes to high glucose-induced ferroptosis and cell growth inhibition in human retinal capillary endothelial cells by facilitating GPX4 ubiquitination

Increased permeability of retinal capillary endothelial cells is a key feature in the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Precisely why and how diabetes causes dysfunction in retinal capillary endothelial cells is not well understood, making it challenging to explore more advanced therapeutics.

Complementary antibody lineages achieve neutralization breadth in an HIV-1 infected elite neutralizer

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) have remarkable breadth and potency against most HIV-1 subtypes and are able to prevent HIV-1 infection in animal models. However, bNAbs are extremely difficult to induce by vaccination. Defining the developmental pathways towards neutralization breadth can assist in the design of strategies to elicit protective bNAb responses by vaccination. Here, HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env)-specific IgG + B cells were isolated at various time points post infection from an HIV-1 infected elite neutralizer to obtain monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Multiple antibody lineages were isolated targeting distinct epitopes on Env, including the gp120-gp41 interface, CD4-binding site, silent face and V3 region. The mAbs each neutralized a diverse set of HIV-1 strains from different clades indicating that the patient’s remarkable serum breadth and potency might have been the result of a polyclonal mixture rather than a single bNAb lineage. High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures of the neutralizing mAbs (NAbs) in complex with an Env trimer generated from the same individual revealed that the NAbs used multiple strategies to neutralize the virus; blocking the receptor binding site, binding to HIV-1 Env N-linked glycans, and disassembly of the trimer. These results show that diverse NAbs can complement each other to achieve a broad and potent neutralizing serum response in HIV-1 infected individuals. Hence, the induction of combinations of moderately broad NAbs might be a viable vaccine strategy to protect against a wide range of circulating HIV-1 viruses.

Organotypic platform for studying cancer cell metastasis

Highlights: • Liver and brain slices can be stable, realistic in vitro 3D models. • Cell stiffness and adhesion to the tissue play determinant roles in cellular invasion in 3D. • MEK inhibitors can lead to increased cell stiffness and adhesion forces, and consequently reduced cancer cell invasion. • MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells migrate faster and deeper into brain tissue compared to liver tissue. Metastasis is the leading cause of mortality in cancer patients. To migrate to distant sites, cancer cells would need to adapt their behaviour in response to different tissue environments. Thus, it is essential to study this process in models that can closely replicate the tumour microenvironment. Here, we evaluate the use of organotypic liver and brain slices to study cancer metastasis. Morphological and viability parameters of the slices were monitored daily over 3 days in culture to assess their stability as a realistic 3D tissue platform for in vitro metastatic assays. Using these slices, we evaluated the invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and of a subpopulation that was selected for increased motility. We show that the more aggressive invasion of the selected cells likely resulted not only from their lower stiffness, but also from their lower adhesion to the surrounding tissue. Different invasion patterns in the brain and liver slices were observed for both subpopulations. Cells migrated faster in the brain slices (with an amoeboid-like mode) compared to in the liver slices (where they migrated with mesenchymal or collective migration-like modes). Inhibition of the Ras/MAPK/ERK pathway increased cell stiffness and adhesion forces, which resulted in reduced invasiveness. These results illustrate the potential for organotypic tissue slices to more closely mimic in vivo conditions during cancer cell metastasis than most in vitro models.

Target of 1 Rapamycin kinase is a positive regulator of plant fatty acid 2 and lipid synthesis

In eukaryotes, Target of Rapamycin (TOR), a conserved protein sensor kinase, integrates a diverse set of environmental cues, including growth factor signals, energy availability, and nutritional status, to direct cell growth. In plants, TOR is activated by light and sugars and regulates a wide range of cellular processes, including protein synthesis and metabolism. Fatty acid synthesis is key to membrane biogenesis that in turn, is required for cell growth. To elucidate the primary regulatory role(s) of TOR in lipid metabolism, we followed fatty acid and lipid changes in plants with altered TOR protein levels or activity for short durations, using Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, Arabidopsis seedlings and Brassica napus cell suspension cultures. Transient expression of TOR significantly elevated the levels of total fatty acids in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, while treatment of Arabidopsis seedlings with Torin 2, a TOR specific inhibitor, for one day, caused significant reductions in fatty acids and membrane lipids. Similarly, incubating oil-producing Brassica napus suspension culture cells with Torin 2 for eight hours led to significant decreases in the levels of TFA and TAG. Taken together the results from three independent systems presented here establishes that TOR positively regulates lipid synthesis in plants, consistent with its role in animals. Furthermore, RNA-seq analysis of Torin 2-treated Arabidopsis seedlings showed that TOR promotes the upregulation of a number of genes involved in de novo fatty acid synthesis while downregulating genes involved in lipid turnover, which we propose as a mechanistic explanation for its promotion of lipid synthesis and accumulation.

A novel in vivo mouse intervertebral disc degeneration model induced by compressive suture

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the root cause of many musculoskeletal disorders of the spine. However, the etiology of IDD is complex and still not well understood. Animal models of IDD would be useful in deciphering the underlying mechanisms. But the existing animal models have their limitations. Therefore, to establish a novel mouse model that can simulate the human IDD process in vivo, we proposed to carefully circumcise the 2 mm-wide tail skin and then compressively sutured the defect with a simple end-to-end suture to exert excessive pressure on the disc. After 1-week, 2-week, and 4-week compression, the mice were sacrificed and the intervertebral discs were harvested for tissue analysis. The radiological, morphological, and molecular modifications of intervertebral discs were measured to characterize this model. Radiologically, the water content of the intervertebral disc decreased significantly after 2-week compression. Morphologically, the nucleus pulposus showed a decrease in volume and the number of notochordal cells. The compressive suture also broke the balance between anabolic and catabolic enzymes in nucleus pulposus, which led to the remodeling of the extracellular matrix in nucleus pulposus as the content of aggrecan and collagen II decreased. The compressive suture could induce intervertebral discs degeneration in a more reasonable way, which was solely influenced by mechanical loading, as the mice caudal vertebrae still moved freely after the operation. This kind of animal model could be adapted as a reliable in vivo mouse IDD model for the research regarding the etiology and treatments of IDD.

Biophysical principles of choanoflagellate self-organization

Inspired by the patterns of multicellularity in choanoflagellates, the closest living relatives of animals, we quantify the biophysical processes underlying the morphogenesis of rosette colonies in the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta . We find that rosettes reproducibly transition from an early stage of 2-dimensional (2D) growth to a later stage of 3D growth, despite the underlying variability of the cell lineages. Our perturbative experiments demonstrate the fundamental importance of a basally secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) for rosette morphogenesis and show that the interaction of the ECM with cells in the colony physically constrains the packing of proliferating cells and, thus, controls colony shape. Simulations of a biophysically inspired model that accounts for the size and shape of the individual cells, the fraction of ECM, and its stiffness relative to that of the cells suffices to explain our observations and yields a morphospace consistent with observations across a range of multicellular choanoflagellate colonies. Overall, our biophysical perspective on rosette development complements previous genetic perspectives and, thus, helps illuminate the interplay between cell biology and physics in regulating morphogenesis.

Complete Inactivation of Blood Borne Pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi in Stored Human Platelet Concentrates and Plasma Treated With 405 nm Violet-Blue Light

The introduction of pathogen reduction technologies (PRTs) to inactivate bacteria, viruses and parasites in donated blood components stored for transfusion adds to the existing arsenal toward reducing the risk of transfusion-transmitted infectious diseases (TTIDs). We have previously demonstrated that 405 nm violet-blue light effectively reduces blood-borne bacteria in stored human plasma and platelet concentrates. In this report, we investigated the microbicidal effect of 405 nm light on one important bloodborne parasite Trypanosoma cruzi that causes Chagas disease in humans. Our results demonstrated that a light irradiance at 15 mWcm -2 for 5 h, equivalent to 270 Jcm -2 , effectively inactivated T. cruzi by over 9.0 Log 10 , in plasma and platelets that were evaluated by a MK2 cell infectivity assay. Giemsa stained T. cruzi infected MK2 cells showed that the light-treated parasites in plasma and platelets were deficient in infecting MK2 cells and did not differentiate further into intracellular amastigotes unlike the untreated parasites. The light-treated and untreated parasite samples were then evaluated for any residual infectivity by injecting the treated parasites into Swiss Webster mice, which did not develop infection even after the animals were immunosuppressed, further demonstrating that the light treatment was completely effective for inactivation of the parasite; the light-treated platelets had similar in vitro metabolic and biochemical indices to that of untreated platelets. Overall, these results provide a proof of concept toward developing 405 nm light treatment as a pathogen reduction technology (PRT) to enhance the safety of stored human plasma and platelet concentrates from bloodborne T. cruzi, which causes Chagas disease.

A human cell type similar to murine central nervous system perivascular fibroblasts

Highlights: • Human diploid cell lines were established from tumor and non-tumor brain tissue. • Human cells share a common transcriptomic profile with murine perivascular fibroblasts. • Human cells resemble commercially available cell of presumed pericyte origin. The brain vasculature has several specific features, one of them being the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which supports and protects the brain by allowing for the passage of oxygen and nutrients, while at the same time preventing passage of pathogens and toxins. The BBB also prevents efficient delivery of drugs to the brain, e.g. for treatment of brain tumors. In the murine brain, perivascular fibroblasts were recently identified as a novel potential constituent of the BBB. Here we present the existence of human cells that could be the equivalent to the murine brain perivascular fibroblasts. Using RNA sequencing, we show a similar transcriptomic profile of cultured human brain cells and murine perivascular fibroblasts. These data open up a window for new hypotheses on cell types involved in human CNS diseases.

The PI3K/mTOR inhibitor Gedatolisib eliminates dormant breast cancer cells in organotypic culture, but fails to prevent metastasis in preclinical settings

Dormant, disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) are thought to be the source of breast cancer metastases several years or even decades after initial treatment. To date, a selective therapy that leads to their elimination has not been discovered. While dormant DTCs resist chemotherapy, evidence suggests that this resistance is driven not by their lack of proliferation, but by their engagement of the surrounding microenvironment, via integrin-β1-mediated interactions. Because integrin-β1-targeted agents have not been translated readily to the clinic, signaling nodes downstream of integrin-β1 could serve as attractive therapeutic targets in order to sensitize dormant DTCs to therapy. By probing a number of kinases downstream of integrin-β1, we determined that PI3K inhibition with either a tool compounds or a compound (PF-05212384; aka Gedatolisib) in clinical trials robustly sensitizes quiescent breast tumor cells seeded in organotypic bone marrow cultures to chemotherapy. These results motivated the preclinical study of whether Gedatolisib—with or without genotoxic therapy—would reduce DTC burden and prevent metastases. Despite promising results in organotypic culture, Gedatolisib failed to reduce DTC burden or delay, reduce or prevent metastasis in murine models of either triple-negative or estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer dissemination and metastasis. This result held true whether analyzing Gedatolisib on its own (vs. vehicle-treated animals) or in combination with dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (vs. animals treated only with dose-dense chemotherapies). These data suggest that PI3K is not the node downstream of integrin-β1 that confers chemotherapeutic resistance to DTCs. More broadly, they cast doubt on the strategy to target PI3K in order to eliminate DTCs and prevent breast cancer metastasis.

Quantitative Bioluminescence Tomography-Guided Conformal Irradiation for Preclinical Radiation Research

Widely used cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided irradiators in preclinical radiation research are limited to localize soft tissue target because of low imaging contrast. Knowledge of target volume is a fundamental need for radiation therapy (RT). Without such information to guide radiation, normal tissue can be overirradiated, introducing experimental uncertainties. This led us to develop high-contrast quantitative bioluminescence tomography (QBLT) for guidance. The use of a 3-dimensional bioluminescence signal, related to cell viability, for preclinical radiation research is one step toward biology-guided RT.

Chemical Imaging for In Situ Detection and Discrimination of Aquatic Toxins Targeting Voltage Gated Sodium Channels

Biologically derived neurotoxins from cyanobacteria and algae impact environmental resources in addition to being considered a potential biological threat to human and animal health. Activity based assays are essential to detecting and responding to toxic neurotoxin events either naturally occurring or deliberate. Two toxins of interest include saxitoxin and brevetoxin. These toxins bind to and alter the function of voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV channels) which are essential for generating cell membrane action potential. We report the development and refinement of a System for Analysis at Liquid Vacuum Interface (SALVI) to assess the functional activity of saxitoxin and brevetoxin. This approach utilizes a vacuum-compatible microfluidic reactor that permits analysis at the liquid vacuum interface of human derived cells with a neurotoxin of interest in a biologically relevant environment.

The NRG3/ERBB4 signaling cascade as a novel therapeutic target for canine glioma

Highlights: • miR-190a was downregulated in canine brain tumors. • miR-190a functioned as a tumor-suppressor through targeting NRG3. • A pan-ERBB inhibitor exhibited a tumor suppressive effect in canine glioma cells. Canine glioma is a common brain tumor with poor prognosis despite surgery and/or radiation therapy. Therefore, newer and more effective treatment modalities are needed. Neuregulin 3 (NRG3) has known to be a ligand of ERBB4. This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of the NRG3/ERBB4 signaling cascade as a novel therapeutic target in canine glioma. We found out that microRNA (miR)-190a was downregulated in canine brain tumor tissues, including glioma and meningioma. miR-190a directly targeted NRG3 and inhibited the growth of canine glioma cells. The level of p-Akt, which is a downstream target of ERBB4 signaling, was decreased by transfection with miR-190a. NRG3 silencing also suppressed cell growth and decreased the levels of p-Akt and p-ERK1/2, and NRG3 overexpression exhibited opposed effects in canine glioma J3T-1 cells. The mRNA level of erbb4 was significantly upregulated in glioma tissues compared with that in normal brain tissues and meningioma tissues. Furthermore, compared with gefitinib and lapatinib, afatinib exerted a greater inhibitory effect on the growth of canine glioma cells. In conclusion, NRG3/ERBB4 signaling is negatively regulated by miR-190a and contributes to the growth of canine glioma cells, indicating that it may be a promising therapeutic target in canine glioma.
