Adaptation of metabolism to multicellular aggregation, hypoxia and obese stromal cell incorporation as potential measure of survival of ovarian metastases

Ovarian metastases exfoliate from the primary tumor and it is thought that aggregation supports their survival in the peritoneal cavity during dissemination but the underlying mechanisms are not clearly identified. We have previously shown that ovarian cancer cells acquire an increasingly glycolytic and metabolic flexible phenotype during progression. In the present study, we investigated how hypoxia, aggregation, and the incorporation of the obese stromal vascular fraction (SVF) affect cellular metabolism and the response to common anti-cancer and anti-diabetic drugs. Our results show a reduction of glucose uptake, lactate secretion, cellular respiration and ATP synthesis in response to hypoxia and aggregation, suggesting that the observed reduced proliferation of cells aggregated into spheroids is the result of a down-regulation of respiration. Recruitment of SVF to spheroids increased the spheroids invasive capacity but reduced respiration only in the most aggressive cells. Further, aggregation and hypoxia reduced the response to the metabolic drugs AICAR and metformin, and the chemotherapeutic agents cisplatin and paclitaxel. Our results suggest that the adaptation of cellular metabolism may contribute to enhanced survival under non-permissive conditions, and that these metabolic alterations may provide targets for future interventions that aim to enhance the survival of women with metastatic ovarian cancer.

Unique life sciences research facilities at NASA Ames Research Center

The Life Science Division at NASA's Ames Research Center has a suite of specialized facilities that enable scientists to study the effects of gravity on living systems. This paper describes some of these facilities and their use in research. Seven centrifuges, each with its own unique abilities, allow testing of a variety of parameters on test subjects ranging from single cells through hardware to humans. The Vestibular Research Facility allows the study of both centrifugation and linear acceleration on animals and humans. The Biocomputation Center uses computers for 3D reconstruction of physiological systems, and interactive research tools for virtual reality modeling. Psycophysiological, cardiovascular, exercise physiology, and biomechanical studies are conducted in the 12 bed Human Research Facility and samples are analyzed in the certified Central Clinical Laboratory and other laboratories at Ames. Human bedrest, water immersion and lower body negative pressure equipment are also available to study physiological changes associated with weightlessness. These and other weightlessness models are used in specialized laboratories for the study of basic physiological mechanisms, metabolism and cell biology. Visual-motor performance, perception, and adaptation are studied using ground-based models as well as short term weightlessness experiments (parabolic flights). The unique combination of Life Science research facilities, laboratories, and equipment at Ames Research Center are described in detail in relation to their research contributions.

Development of a clostridia-based cell-free system for prototyping genetic parts and metabolic pathways

Gas fermentation by autotrophic bacteria, such as clostridia, offers a sustainable path to numerous bioproducts from a range of local, highly abundant, waste and low-cost feedstocks, such as industrial flue gases or syngas generated from biomass or municipal waste. Unfortunately, designing and engineering clostridia remains laborious and slow. The ability to prototype individual genetic part function, gene expression patterns, and biosynthetic pathway performance in vitro before implementing designs in cells could help address these bottlenecks by speeding up design. Unfortunately, a high-yielding cell-free gene expression (CFE) system from clostridia has yet to be developed. Here in this paper, we report the development and optimization of a high-yielding (236 ± 24 μg/mL) batch CFE platform from the industrially relevant anaerobe, Clostridium autoethanogenum. A key feature of the platform is that both circular and linear DNA templates can be applied directly to the CFE reaction to program protein synthesis. We demonstrate the ability to prototype gene expression, and quantitatively map aerobic cell-free metabolism in lysates from this system. We anticipate that the C. autoethanogenum CFE platform will not only expand the protein synthesis toolkit for synthetic biology, but also serve as a platform in expediting the screening and prototyping of gene regulatory elements in non-model, industrially relevant microbes.

In vitro prototyping of limonene biosynthesis using cell-free protein synthesis

Metabolic engineering of microorganisms to produce sustainable chemicals has emerged as an important part of the global bioeconomy. Unfortunately, efforts to design and engineer microbial cell factories are challenging because design-build-test cycles, iterations of re-engineering organisms to test and optimize new sets of enzymes, are slow. To alleviate this challenge, we demonstrate a cell-free approach termed in vitro Prototyping and Rapid Optimization of Biosynthetic Enzymes (or iPROBE). In iPROBE, a large number of pathway combinations can be rapidly built and optimized. The key idea is to use cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) to manufacture pathway enzymes in separate reactions that are then mixed to modularly assemble multiple, distinct biosynthetic pathways. As a model, we apply our approach to the 9-step heterologous enzyme pathway to limonene in extracts from Escherichia coli. In iterative cycles of design, we studied the impact of 54 enzyme homologs, multiple enzyme levels, and cofactor concentrations on pathway performance. In total, we screened over 150 unique sets of enzymes in 580 unique pathway conditions to increase limonene production in 24 h from 0.2 to 4.5 mM (23–610 mg/L). Finally, to demonstrate the modularity of this pathway, we also synthesized the biofuel precursors pinene and bisabolene. Finally, we anticipate that iPROBE will accelerate design-build-test cycles for metabolic engineering, enabling data-driven multiplexed cell-free methods for testing large combinations of biosynthetic enzymes to inform cellular design.

Chapter 20: Advances and Application of CRISPR-Cas Systems

A new gene-editing technique called clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins have revolutionized genome engineering because of its high efficiency, relatively low cost, and ease of use compared with other techniques such as zinc-finger nucleases and transcription activator-like effector nucleases. CRISPR-Cas systems have transformed biological research, quickly becoming the preferred method for engineering specific genome sequences in industrially relevant microbes, important food crops, and human cells. This powerful new tool has the potential for limitless applications ranging from the treatment of human diseases to improving food security to the generation of renewable and sustainable bioproducts and biofuels. In this chapter, we will discuss advances and applications for these CRISPR-Cas systems in biological engineering.

High Temperature Acclimation of Leaf Gas Exchange, Photochemistry, and Metabolomic Profiles in Populus trichocarpa

High temperatures alter the thermal sensitivities of numerous physiological and biochemical processes that impact tree growth and productivity. Foliar and root applications of methanol have been implicated in plant acclimation to high temperature via the C 1 pathway. Here, we characterized temperature acclimation at 35°C of leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and extractable metabolites of potted Populus trichocarpa saplings and examined potential influences of mM concentrations of methanol added during soil watering over a two-month period. Relative to plants grown under the low growth temperature (LGT), high growth temperature (HGT) plants showed a suppression of leaf water use and carbon cycling including transpiration (E), net photosynthesis (P n ), an estimate of photorespiration (R p ), and dark respiration (R d ), attributed to reductions in stomatal conductance and direct negative effects on gas exchange and photosynthetic machinery. In contrast, HGT plants showed an upregulation of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ t ), the optimum temperature for ETR, and leaf isoprene emissions at 40°C. A large number of metabolites (867) were induced under HGT, many implicated in flavonoid biosynthesis highlighting a potentially protective role for these compounds. Methanol application did not significantly alter leaf gas exchange but slightly reduced the suppression of R d and R p by the high growth temperature while slightly impairing ETR, Fv’/Fm’, and q p . However, we were unable to determine if soil methanol was sufficiently taken up by the plant to have a direct effect on foliar processes. A small number of extracted leaf tissue metabolites (55 out of 10,015) showed significantly altered abundances under LGT and methanol treatments relative to water controls, and this increased in compound number (222) at the HGT. The results demonstrate the large physiological and biochemical impacts of high growth temperature on poplar seedlings and highlights the enhancement of the optimum temperature of ETR as a rapid thermal acclimation mechanism. Finally, although no large effect on leaf physiology was observed, the results are consistent with methanol both impairing photochemistry of the light reactions via formaldehyde toxicity, and stimulating photosynthesis and dark respiration through formate oxidation to CO 2 .

Nicotinamide-Loaded Peptoid Nanotubes for Energy Regeneration in Acute Brain Injury

Acute brain injuries such as perinatal asphyxia, stroke, and traumatic brain injury result in ischemia, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and inflammation, leading to a depletion of ATP. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is crucial for ATP regeneration and DNA repair during postinjury recovery. However, the therapeutic benefits of NAD+ and its precursors, such as nicotinamide (NAM), are limited by challenges in achieving effective cell-specific intracellular delivery. In this study, we use a nanopeptoid delivery strategy to replenish the cellular redox state and increase energy production in the acutely injured brain. By self-assembling peptoids into tubular structures, we created biocompatible NAM-conjugated peptoid nanotubes (NAM-PNTs) that vary in tubular length. NAM-PNTs demonstrated significant therapeutic benefits by enhancing cell viability and replenishing intracellular ATP levels within 24 h of treatment in oxygen–glucose-deprived (OGD) BV-2 cells. In organotypic brain slices, NAM-PNT treatment promoted glial proliferation, reduced proinflammatory cytokines, and increased anti-inflammatory cytokines after OGD, an ex vivo model of hypoxia-ischemia. The effect of NAM-PNTs is associated with their uptake into microglia via fluid-phase phagocytosis and caveolae-mediated endocytosis. A single systemic dose of NAM-PNTs localized in microglia in the injured hemisphere and reduced brain tissue loss and improved neuropathology after hypoxia-ischemia in term-equivalent rats. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of NAM-PNTs for cell-specific targeted delivery and energy restoration in the acutely injured neonatal brain. In the neonatal brain injury field, this work demonstrates the development of an innovative nanoparticle platform from first-principles design and synthesis to in vitro screening and then demonstration of efficacy in vivo .

Predicting stress response and improved protein overproduction in Bacillus subtilis

Abstract Bacillus subtilis is a well-characterized microorganism and a model for the study of Gram-positive bacteria. The bacterium can produce proteins at high densities and yields, which has made it valuable for industrial bioproduction. Like other cell factories, metabolic modeling of B. subtilis has discovered ways to optimize its metabolism toward various applications. The first genome-scale metabolic model (M-model) of B. subtilis was published more than a decade ago and has been applied extensively to understand metabolism, to predict growth phenotypes, and served as a template to reconstruct models for other Gram-positive bacteria. However, M-models are ill-suited to simulate the production and secretion of proteins as well as their proteomic response to stress. Thus, a new generation of metabolic models, known as metabolism and gene expression models (ME-models), has been initiated. Here, we describe the reconstruction and validation of a ME model of B. subtilis , i JT964-ME. This model achieved higher performance scores on the prediction of gene essentiality as compared to the M-model. We successfully validated the model by integrating physiological and omics data associated with gene expression responses to ethanol and salt stress. The model further identified the mechanism by which tryptophan synthesis is upregulated under ethanol stress. Further, we employed i JT964-ME to predict amylase production rates under two different growth conditions. We analyzed these flux distributions and identified key metabolic pathways that permitted the increase in amylase production. Models like i JT964-ME enable the study of proteomic response to stress and the illustrate the potential for optimizing protein production in bacteria.

Cacao pod transcriptome profiling of seven genotypes identifies features associated with post-penetration resistance to Phytophthora palmivora

Abstract The oomycete Phytophthora palmivora infects the fruit of cacao trees ( Theobroma cacao ) causing black pod rot and reducing yields. Cacao genotypes vary in their resistance levels to P. palmivora , yet our understanding of how cacao fruit respond to the pathogen at the molecular level during disease establishment is limited. To address this issue, disease development and RNA-Seq studies were conducted on pods of seven cacao genotypes (ICS1, WFT, Gu133, Spa9, CCN51, Sca6 and Pound7) to better understand their reactions to the post-penetration stage of P. palmivora infection. The pod tissue- P. palmivora pathogen assay resulted in the genotypes being classified as susceptible (ICS1, WFT, Gu133 and Spa9) or resistant (CCN51, Sca6 and Pound7). The number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) ranged from 1625 to 6957 depending on genotype. A custom gene correlation approach identified 34 correlation groups. De novo motif analysis was conducted on upstream promoter sequences of differentially expressed genes, identifying 76 novel motifs, 31 of which were over-represented in the upstream sequences of correlation groups and associated with gene ontology terms related to oxidative stress response, defense against fungal pathogens, general metabolism and cell function. Genes in one correlation group (Group 6) were strongly induced in all genotypes and enriched in genes annotated with defense-responsive terms. Expression pattern profiling revealed that genes in Group 6 were induced to higher levels in the resistant genotypes. An additional analysis allowed the identification of 17 candidate cis -regulatory modules likely to be involved in cacao defense against P. palmivora . This study is a comprehensive exploration of the cacao pod transcriptional response to P. palmivora spread after infection. We identified cacao genes, promoter motifs, and promoter motif combinations associated with post-penetration resistance to P. palmivora in cacao pods and provide this information as a resource to support future and ongoing efforts to breed P. palmivora -resistant cacao.

PagMYB128 regulates secondary cell wall formation by direct activation of cell wall biosynthetic genes during wood formation in poplar

The biosynthesis of cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses in plant secondary cell walls (SCWs) is regulated by a hierarchical transcriptional regulatory network. Here, this network features orthologous transcription factors shared between poplar and Arabidopsis, highlighting a foundational similarity in their genetic regulation. However, knowledge on the discrepant behavior of the transcriptional-level molecular regulatory mechanisms between poplar and Arabidopsis remains limited. In this study, we investigated the function of PagMYB128 during wood formation and found it had broader impacts on SCW formation compared to its Arabidopsis ortholog, AtMYB103. Transgenic poplar trees overexpressing PagMYB128 exhibited significantly enhanced xylem development, with fiber cells and vessels displaying thicker walls, and an increase in the levels of cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses in the wood. In contrast, plants with dominant repression of PagMYB128 demonstrated the opposite phenotypes. RNA sequencing and reverse transcription – quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that PagMYB128 could activate SCW biosynthetic gene expression, and chromatin immunoprecipitation along with yeast one-hybrid, and effector–reporter assays showed this regulation was direct. Further analysis revealed that PagSND1 (SECONDARY WALL-ASSOCIATED NAC-DOMAIN PROTEIN1) directly regulates PagMYB128 but not cell wall metabolic genes, highlighting the pivotal role of PagMYB128 in the SND1-driven regulatory network for wood development, thereby creating a feedforward loop in SCW biosynthesis.

Quantifying the inhibitory impact of soluble phenolics on anaerobic carbon mineralization in a thawing permafrost peatland

The mechanisms controlling the extraordinarily slow carbon (C) mineralization rates characteristic of Sphagnum -rich peatlands (“bogs”) are not fully understood, despite decades of research on this topic. Soluble phenolic compounds have been invoked as potentially significant contributors to bog peat recalcitrance due to their affinity to slow microbial metabolism and cell growth. Despite this potentially significant role, the effects of soluble phenolic compounds on bog peat C mineralization remain unclear. We analyzed this effect by manipulating the concentration of free soluble phenolics in anaerobic bog and fen peat incubations using water-soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone (“PVP”), a compound that binds with and inactivates phenolics, preventing phenolic-enzyme interactions. CO 2 and CH 4 production rates (end-products of anaerobic C mineralization) generally correlated positively with PVP concentration following Michaelis-Menten (M.M.) saturation functions. Using M.M. parameters, we estimated that the extent to which phenolics inhibit anaerobic CO 2 production was significantly higher in the bog—62 ± 16%—than the fen—14 ± 4%. This difference was found to be more substantial with regards to methane production—wherein phenolic inhibition for the bog was estimated at 54 ± 19%, while the fen demonstrated no apparent inhibition. Consistent with this habitat difference, we observed significantly higher soluble phenolic content in bog vs. fen pore-water. Together, these findings suggest that soluble phenolics could contribute to bogs’ extraordinary recalcitrance and high (relative to other peatland habitats) CO 2 :CH 4 production ratios.

Editorial: Synthetic metabolism for the third-generation (3G) biorefineries

The demand for energy has increased significantly to meet the development of the economy and the increasing population. With the continuous consumption of energy, the shortage of non-renewable resources and the greenhouse effect have aroused worldwide attention. Therefore, the conversion of one-carbon substrates such as formate, methanol, and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) as sustainable feedstocks into high-value-added products is a potential way to address such concerns. Although one-carbon substrates can be converted into organics by natural pathways, these pathways may not be optimal due to the multiple enzymes involved and remarkable amounts of energy consumption. Thus, synthetic biology, as an emerging field, offers a new approach to boost one-carbon bioconversion.

An experimental system for determining the influence of microgravity on B lymphocyte activation and cell fusion

The influence of microgravity on lymphocyte activation is central to the understanding of immunological function in space. Moreover, the adaptation of ground-based technologies to microgravity conditions presents opportunities for biotechnological applications including high efficiency production of antibody forming hybridomas. Because the emerging technology of microgravity hybridoma generation is dependent upon activation and cultivation of B lymphocytes during flight, mitogen-driven B lymphocyte stimulation and culture were adapted that allow for the in vitro generation of large numbers of antibody forming cells suitable for cell fusion over a period of 1-2 weeks. It is believed that this activation and cultivation system can be flown on near-term space flights to test fundamental hypotheses about mammalian cell activation, cell fusion, metabolism, secretion, growth, and bioseparation.

Halotolerant and Resistant to High pH Hydrogenase from Haloalkaliphilic Sulfate-Reducing Bacterium Desulfonatronum thiodismutans

Hydrogenase is the key enzyme of energetic metabolism in cells, it catalyzing the converse reaction of hydrogen oxidation and responsible for consumption and excretion of hydrogen in bacteria. Hydrogenases are proteins containing either Nickel and Iron, or the only Iron in theirs active center. Hydrogenases have been found in many microorganisms, such as Methanogenic, acetogenic, nitrogen-fixing, photosynthetic and sulfate-reducing bacteria that could utilize the hydrogen as energy source or use it as electron sink. Hydrogenases are subject for wide physiological, biochemical, physicochemical and genetic studies due to theirs abilities produce the molecular hydrogen as alternative source of pure energy. Notwithstanding on enough large quantity of works that deal with intracellular and extrasellular enzymes of halophilic bacteria, the data about hydrogenases and theirs functions of salts practically are absent. The study of hydrogenase in cell-free extracts of extremely halophilic eubacterium Acetohalobium mabaticum showed dramatic increasing activity of the enzyme at high concentrations of NaCl and KCI (close to saturated solution). Here we present the data of free-cells extracted hydrogenase from new haloalkaliphilic sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfonatronum thiodismutans, which grow on highly miniralized carbonate-bicarbonate medium in salinity range 1 to 7 % and at pH 7.8 - 10.5. Studied enzyme was active in Concentration range from 0 to 4.3 M NaCl with optimum at 1.0 M NaCl. At 1.0 M NaCl the enzyme activity was increased on 20 %, but with changing concentration from 2.1 M to 3.4 M the activity decreased and was kept on constant level. NaHCO3 inhibited hydrogenase activity on more then 30 %. The maximum of enzyme activity was observed at pH 9.5 with limits 7.5 and 11.5 that practically equal to pH optimum of bacterial growth. Therefore the hydrogenase of Desulfanatronum thiodismutans is tolerant to high concentrations of sodium salts and it also resistant to high pH that make it the unique subject for different biochemical research and detects the possibility for biotechnological application.

Lighting the Way for Quicker, Safer Healing

Who's to say that a little light can t go a long way? Tiny light-emitting diode (LED) chips used to grow plants in space are lighting the way for cancer treatment, wound healing, and chronic pain alleviation on Earth. In 1993, Quantum Devices, Inc. (QDI), of Barneveld, Wisconsin, began developing the HEALS (High Emissivity Aluminiferous Light-emitting Substrate) technology to provide high-intensity, solid-state LED lighting systems for NASA Space Shuttle plant growth experiments. The company evolved out of cooperative efforts with the Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics (WCSAR) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison a NASA center for the Commercial Development of Space. Ronald W. Ignatius, QDI s president and chairman, represented one of WCSAR s industrial partners at the time. WCSAR was conducting research on light sources for promoting food growth within closed environments where humans would be present for a long duration, such as the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. With the support of WCSAR, Ignatius experimented with LEDs, which provide high-energy efficiency and virtually no heat, despite releasing waves of light 10 times brighter than the Sun. Ignatius admits that some scientists involved in the project were skeptical at first, thinking that the idea of using LEDs to promote plant growth was far-fetched. The experiments, however, demonstrated that red LED wavelengths could boost the energy metabolism of cells to advance plant growth and photosynthesis. This finding prompted Ignatius to develop a line of LED products that emit the exact wavelength of light that plants use in photosynthesis. Our company gives credit to Dr. Ray Bula, the director of WCSAR, for having the foresight to go against the prevailing dogma of the time and design the first plant experiment using monochromatic light to grow lettuce plants, Ignatius proclaims. In 1989, Ignatius formed QDI to bring the salt grain-sized LEDs to market, and in October 1995, the light sources made their Space Shuttle flight debut on the second U.S. Microgravity Laboratory Spacelab mission (STS-73, Columbia)

BioSentinel ISS mission: Analysis of ISS Flight Data and Lessons Learned

As we prepare for a future with a human presence on the Moon, Mars, and beyond, the need for countermeasures to protect astronauts against deep space radiation is ever pressing. However, our understanding of how life operates in the space environment, especially past the protection of the Van Allen radiation belts, is critically limited. BioSentinel, a biological CubeSat, aims to further investigate the effects of deep space ionizing radiation, utilizing the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to examine the cell’s DNA damage response. The yeast wild type and a rad51Δ mutant strain defective for DNA damage repair will be monitored via the redox dye alamarBlue and a 3-color LED detection system. Selected as a secondary payload on Artemis I, BioSentinel will be the first deep space biological experiment in a half-century and the first biological CubeSat or free-flyer to ever reach a heliocentric orbit. Notably, BioSentinel is the only biological CubeSat to include an ISS control study in addition to a ground control. Comparisons between the ground, ISS, and free-flyer experiments will allow us to isolate the effects of deep space radiation from those of microgravity. The ISS study also provides a unique platform to conduct important technological and biological testing of BioSentinel’s instrumentation in preparation for the deep space mission. In this work, we use a series of data processing tools and scripts to analyze ISS flight data as well as samples exposed to simulated space radiation at Brookhaven National Laboratory, specifically looking at cell growth, metabolic activity, and duplication rates based on optical absorbance and alamarBlue kinetics. These analyses provide a crucial set of controls and a framework for analyzing and interpreting future data sets from the free-flyer, helping us gain further insight into the health risks astronauts will face when exposed to deep space radiation.
