This work describes the development of a novel biosensor obtained by immobilizing laccase from Pleurotus ostreatus Florida onto a glassy carbon electrode platform modified with zinc oxide quantum dots. For enzyme immobilization, the exopolysaccharide botryosphaeran from Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 was used. Although both biomaterials are from different fungal sources, laccase immobilization was guaranteed, which was demonstrated by the excellent stability of the fabricated biosensor device for the voltammetric determination of 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (2,6-DMP). Under the optimal experimental conditions, the cathodic current from the square-wave voltammograms presented a linear dependence on the 2,6-DMP concentration within the range of 10-400 nmol L-1, with a limit of detection of 9 nmol L-1. This bioanalytical device exhibited excellent repeatability and long-term storage stability.

这项工作描述了一种新型生物传感器的开发过程,该传感器是通过将佛罗里达州黑松属(Pleurotus ostreatus Florida)的漆酶固定在用氧化锌量子点修饰的玻璃碳电极平台上而获得的。在固定酶时,使用了根瘤藻 MAMB-05 的外多糖。虽然这两种生物材料的来源不同,但漆酶的固定性都得到了保证,这体现在制作的生物传感器装置在伏安法测定 2,6-二甲氧基苯酚(2,6-DMP)时具有出色的稳定性。在最佳实验条件下,方波伏安图的阴极电流在 10-400 nmol L-1 范围内与 2,6-DMP 浓度呈线性关系,检测限为 9 nmol L-1。这种生物分析装置具有出色的重复性和长期储存稳定性。

The incidence of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has been rising recently. LSCC is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors of the head and neck. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether tripartite motif containing 71 (TRIM71) could serve as a molecular target for the treatment of LSCC. The mRNA and protein levels were examined by using real-time qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation was determined by cell-counting kit 8 assay. To further confirm the function of TRIM71 in LSCC, an in vivo cell line-derived xenograft study was conducted. The half-life of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (eIF5A2) protein was measured by cycloheximide chase assay. Our results showed that TRIM71 was significantly downregulated in LSCC tumor tissues. TRIM71 overexpression significantly inhibited LSCC cell growth and suppressed tumor volume and weight in the xenograft models. The interaction between TRIM71 and eIF5A2 was verified by co-immunoprecipitation assay. Moreover, overexpression of TRIM71 in LSCC cells significantly inhibited the protein expression of eIF5A2 by down-regulating its stability, while it did not affect its mRNA level. In contrast, overexpression of eIF5A2 abolished the anti-tumor effects of TRIM71. In summary, TRIM71 may exert its anti-tumor effects through regulating eIF5A2, highlighting the potential of TRIM71 as an effective therapeutic target for the treatment of LSCC.

最近,喉鳞状细胞癌(LSCC)的发病率不断上升。喉鳞状细胞癌是头颈部最常见的恶性肿瘤之一。本研究旨在探讨含三方基序71(TRIM71)是否可作为治疗喉鳞状细胞癌的分子靶点。研究采用实时 qPCR 和 Western 印迹技术分别检测其 mRNA 和蛋白水平。细胞增殖由细胞计数试剂盒8测定。为了进一步证实 TRIM71 在 LSCC 中的功能,进行了一项体内细胞系衍生异种移植研究。通过环己亚胺追逐试验测定了真核翻译起始因子 5A2(eIF5A2)蛋白的半衰期。结果显示,TRIM71在LSCC肿瘤组织中明显下调。在异种移植模型中,TRIM71的过表达能明显抑制LSCC细胞的生长,抑制肿瘤体积和重量。TRIM71与eIF5A2之间的相互作用通过共免疫沉淀实验得到了验证。此外,在LSCC细胞中过表达TRIM71可通过下调eIF5A2的稳定性显著抑制其蛋白表达,而不影响其mRNA水平。相反,过表达 eIF5A2 则会取消 TRIM71 的抗肿瘤作用。综上所述,TRIM71可能通过调节eIF5A2发挥其抗肿瘤作用,这凸显了TRIM71作为治疗LSCC的有效靶点的潜力。

Syringaldehyde derived from lignin is one of the essential intermediates for the production of basic chemicals. However, it was poorly understood for the direct microbial conversion of syringaldehyde. Here, this study tried to use cold plasma technique to enhance syringaldehyde conversion for the bacterium Pseudomonas putida. It illustrated that cell growth and syringaldehyde conversion were separately increased by 1.49 times at 3 h and 1.60 times at 6 h for 35 s, 1.16 and 3.44 times for 140 W, and 1.63 and 4.02 times for 105 Pa for P. putida through single factor assays of cold plasma treatment. To be sure, cell growth and syringaldehyde conversion were enhanced by 1.14 and 5.54 times at 3 h under the optimum parameters (35 s, 140 W, and 105 Pa) for P. putida. Furthermore, genome re-sequencing further discovered single-nucleotide polymorphisms of P. putida, such as PP_2589 (A428V), PP_5651 (V82F), and PP_0545 (W335R), and thus indicated that the potential genetic changes derived from cold plasma treatment would be responsible for the acceleration of syringaldehyde conversion. This work would provide a robust strain catalyst and the potential candidate mutation sites for genetic manipulation for microbial bioconversion of the value-added and lignin-based biochemicals.

从木质素中提取的丁香醛是生产基本化学品的重要中间体之一。然而,人们对丁香醛的微生物直接转化知之甚少。在此,本研究尝试使用冷等离子体技术来提高假单胞菌(Pseudomonas putida)的丁香醛转化率。研究表明,通过冷等离子体处理的单因素测定,在 35 s 条件下,3 h 细胞生长和 6 h 丁香醛转化率分别提高了 1.49 倍和 1.60 倍;在 140 W 条件下,分别提高了 1.16 倍和 3.44 倍;在 105 Pa 条件下,分别提高了 1.63 倍和 4.02 倍。可以肯定的是,在最佳参数(35 秒、140 瓦和 105 帕)下,普氏菌的细胞生长和丁香醛转化率在 3 小时内分别提高了 1.14 倍和 5.54 倍。此外,基因组重测序进一步发现了 P. putida 的单核苷酸多态性,如 PP_2589 (A428V)、PP_5651 (V82F) 和 PP_0545 (W335R),从而表明冷等离子体处理产生的潜在基因变化是加速丁香醛转化的原因。这项工作将为微生物生物转化增值和木质素类生化产品提供强大的菌株催化剂和潜在的候选基因突变位点。

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common malignant tumor occurring in various sites such as the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and nasal cavity. This study aimed to explore the biological functions and prognostic value of E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) in HNSCC. Transcriptome and single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of HNSCC patients were analyzed using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). All samples were divided into high and low expression groups based on the expression levels of E2F1. A risk model was constructed based on Lasso-Cox regression, and the differences between the two groups in terms of prognosis were explored. The scRNA-seq data of HNSCC samples were analyzed using the Seurat package to identify cell types. AUCell was used to score different types of cells, and subsequently, the interaction pathways between the high-scoring cell population and other cell populations were explored using the CellChat package. The expression level of E2F1 in tumor tissues was higher than that in normal tissues, which was confirmed by in vitro experiments. Analysis of transcriptome data from TCGA revealed significant differences in overall survival (OS) between the high and low expression groups. Prognostic genes were selected based on DEGs between the two groups, and a risk model was constructed. Subsequently, a nomogram model was constructed based on clinical factors and risk scores, which exhibited good predictive performance. The expression landscape of prognostic genes in different cell types was explored using scRNA-seq data of HNSCC samples. Dendritic cell populations were identified as high-scoring cell populations, and the pathways of interaction between this cell population and other cell populations were explored. We identified E2F1 as an independent prognostic factor closely associated with the prognosis and immune response of HNSCC.

头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)是一种常见的恶性肿瘤,好发于口腔、咽、喉和鼻腔等多个部位。本研究旨在探讨E2F转录因子1(E2F1)在HNSCC中的生物学功能和预后价值。研究人员利用癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)和基因表达总库(GEO)的数据分析了HNSCC患者的转录组和单细胞测序(scRNA-seq)数据。根据 E2F1 的表达水平将所有样本分为高表达组和低表达组。根据 Lasso-Cox 回归法构建了风险模型,并探讨了两组间在预后方面的差异。使用 Seurat 软件包分析了 HNSCC 样本的 scRNA-seq 数据,以确定细胞类型。利用AUCell对不同类型的细胞进行评分,然后利用CellChat软件包探索高分细胞群与其他细胞群之间的相互作用通路。肿瘤组织中 E2F1 的表达水平高于正常组织,体外实验证实了这一点。对 TCGA 转录组数据的分析表明,高表达组和低表达组的总生存率(OS)存在显著差异。根据两组间的 DEGs 筛选出了预后基因,并构建了风险模型。随后,根据临床因素和风险评分构建了一个提名图模型,该模型具有良好的预测性能。利用 HNSCC 样本的 scRNA-seq 数据探索了不同细胞类型中预后基因的表达情况。树突状细胞群被确定为高分细胞群,并探讨了该细胞群与其他细胞群之间的相互作用途径。我们发现 E2F1 是一个独立的预后因子,与 HNSCC 的预后和免疫反应密切相关。

Canine distemper, a viral disease with a global impact on various animals including dogs, foxes, wolves, lions, and leopards, requires early diagnosis for effective treatment and outbreak control. Common laboratory methods, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, polymerase chain reaction, and viral isolation, face challenges such as extended turnaround times, high costs, and the expertise required. This study has developed a field-based biosensor for detecting the canine distemper virus (CDV), utilising a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and a computer-assisted portable potentiostat. A 30-mer oligonucleotide capture probe, designed using Primer3 Plus software version 3.3.0, detected hybridisation with the CDV complementary strand through electrochemical analysis via differential pulsed voltammetry. The developed biosensor exhibited good linearity in quantifying the target analyte concentration (0.1 to 12.8 µM), with a detection limit of 0.05 µM, indicating high sensitivity. Specificity tests using complementary and non-complementary sequences confirmed the biosensor's accuracy. The electrode can be reused up to eight times with a residual capacity of 93.72 ± 5.45% after regeneration using a 50 mM NaOH solution. The developed biosensor was also used to detect CDV in biological samples after RNA extraction and amplification. Results from the biosensor aligned with those from reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) findings, showing 100% agreement. These findings support the potential development of a field-deployable portable device for effectively diagnosing canine distemper in biological samples.

犬瘟热是一种病毒性疾病,在全球范围内对包括狗、狐狸、狼、狮子和豹在内的各种动物都有影响,需要早期诊断才能有效治疗和控制疫情。常用的实验室方法,如酶联免疫吸附测定法、聚合酶链反应法和病毒分离法,都面临着周转时间长、成本高和需要专业知识等挑战。本研究利用丝网印刷碳电极(SPCE)和计算机辅助便携式恒电位仪,开发了一种用于检测犬瘟热病毒(CDV)的现场生物传感器。利用 Primer3 Plus 软件 3.3.0 版设计的 30 个聚合物寡核苷酸捕获探针通过差分脉冲伏安法进行电化学分析,检测与 CDV 互补链的杂交。所开发的生物传感器在定量目标分析物浓度(0.1 至 12.8 µM)方面表现出良好的线性,检测限为 0.05 µM,灵敏度很高。使用互补和非互补序列进行的特异性测试证实了该生物传感器的准确性。使用 50 mM NaOH 溶液再生后,电极的剩余容量为 93.72 ± 5.45%,可重复使用八次。开发的生物传感器还用于检测生物样本中经 RNA 提取和扩增后的 CDV。生物传感器的检测结果与逆转录酶聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)的检测结果一致,一致性达到 100%。这些研究结果支持开发一种可现场部署的便携式设备,用于有效诊断生物样本中的犬瘟热。

Cultured plant cells often biosynthesize secondary metabolites to a lesser extent relative to the mother plants. This phenomenon is associated with epigenetic alterations of the biosynthetic gene(s). Here we investigated the effectiveness of epigenetic modifiers, such as inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and DNA methyltransferase (DNMT), to activate cryptic secondary metabolite biosynthesis in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) BY-2 cells. The BY-2 suspension cells cultured with an HDAC inhibitor, suberoyl bis-hydroxamic acid, exhibited strong biosynthesis of four compounds that were originally present at trace concentrations. The induced compounds were identified as caffeoylputrescine (1), 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosylferulic acid (2), 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3), and feruloylputrescine (4). Biosynthetic activation of compounds 1-4 was reproduced by two other HDAC inhibitors. Treatment of the cells with a DNMT inhibitor (zebularine) also activated the biosynthesis of compounds 1-4, but had a limited effectiveness relative to the HDAC inhibitors, indicating that histone acetylation levels are involved more than DNA methylation levels in the epigenetic regulation of the biosynthesis of compounds 1-4 in the BY-2 cells. Following our previous demonstration using cultured cells of a monocotyledonous plant, this study demonstrates the utility of epigenetic modifiers to activate cryptic secondary metabolite biosynthesis in cultured cells of a dicotyledonous plant.

与母株相比,培养植物细胞生物合成次生代谢物的能力往往较弱。这种现象与生物合成基因的表观遗传学改变有关。在此,我们研究了表观遗传修饰剂(如组蛋白去乙酰化酶(HDAC)和 DNA 甲基转移酶(DNMT)抑制剂)激活烟草(Nicotiana tabacum)BY-2 细胞中隐性次生代谢物生物合成的有效性。用 HDAC 抑制剂--亚伯酰双羟肟酸--培养的 BY-2 悬浮细胞显示出四种化合物的强烈生物合成,而这些化合物原本只存在于微量浓度中。经鉴定,这些被诱导的化合物分别是咖啡酰石蒜碱(1)、4-O-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基阿魏酸(2)、5-O-咖啡酰奎宁酸(3)和阿魏酰石蒜碱(4)。另外两种 HDAC 抑制剂也能再现化合物 1-4 的生物合成活化。用一种 DNMT 抑制剂(zebularine)处理细胞也能激活化合物 1-4 的生物合成,但与 HDAC 抑制剂相比效果有限,这表明组蛋白乙酰化水平比 DNA 甲基化水平更能参与 BY-2 细胞中化合物 1-4 生物合成的表观遗传调控。继我们之前使用单子叶植物培养细胞进行论证之后,本研究证明了表观遗传修饰剂对激活双子叶植物培养细胞中隐性次生代谢物生物合成的作用。

TXNIP is closely associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino (GP), a perennial herb with five leaves, is considered to have medicinal values. However, it is unknown whether GP alleviates DPN by modulating TXNIP-mediated autophagy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of GP on Schwann cell injury during DPN and to investigate the mechanism of GP in DPN for the first time. High-fat diet-fed GK rats and high-glucose-cultured RSC96 cells were used to establish DPN models. The effects of GP on DPN were investigated by blood glucose assay, neurological function assay, pathology assay, and immunohistochemistry. To investigate the effect of GP on autophagy and upstream PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in Schwann cells, Western blot and immunofluorescence assay were performed on RSC96 cells to detect the expression of beclin-1 and LC3. Western blot method was used to detect the expression of PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, p-mTOR/mTOR, and RT-qPCR method and was used to detect the expression of PI3K. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The effects of TXNIP on the above indicators were also detected in RSC96 cells. Finally, the mechanism of GP regulation of autophagy and apoptosis in RSC96 cells was verified. GP reduced blood glucose level, attenuated peripheral nerve myelin damage, and improved nerve function in DPN rats. In addition, GP enhanced autophagy activity and reduced apoptosis in RSC96 cells. GP promoted autophagy by regulating TXNIP-mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, and GP reduced apoptosis in RSC96 cells by promoting cellular autophagy. GP attenuates DPN myelin damage in RSC96 cells by enhancing autophagy, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway by up-regulating the expression of TXNIP.

TXNIP 与糖尿病周围神经病变(DPN)密切相关。绞股蓝(Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino)是一种多年生五叶草本植物,被认为具有药用价值。然而,目前还不清楚绞股蓝是否能通过调节 TXNIP 介导的自噬作用来缓解 DPN。本研究旨在评估 GP 对 DPN 期间许旺细胞损伤的影响,并首次探究 GP 在 DPN 中的作用机制。研究使用高脂饮食喂养的 GK 大鼠和高葡萄糖培养的 RSC96 细胞建立 DPN 模型。通过血糖检测、神经功能检测、病理检测和免疫组化研究了 GP 对 DPN 的影响。为了研究 GP 对许旺细胞自噬和上游 PI3K/AKT/mTOR 信号通路的影响,对 RSC96 细胞进行了 Western 印迹和免疫荧光检测,以检测 beclin-1 和 LC3 的表达。Western 印迹法检测 PI3K、p-Akt/Akt、p-mTOR/mTOR 的表达,RT-qPCR 法检测 PI3K 的表达。流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡。在 RSC96 细胞中也检测了 TXNIP 对上述指标的影响。最后,还验证了 GP 在 RSC96 细胞中调控自噬和细胞凋亡的机制。GP可降低DPN大鼠的血糖水平,减轻周围神经髓鞘损伤,改善神经功能。此外,GP 还能增强 RSC96 细胞的自噬活性并减少细胞凋亡。GP通过调节TXNIP介导的PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路促进自噬,并通过促进细胞自噬减少RSC96细胞的凋亡。GP通过增强自噬作用减轻DPN对RSC96细胞髓鞘的损伤,其机制可能与上调TXNIP的表达抑制PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路有关。

A new lipopeptide-producing strain Cytobacillus sp. R3-1 was isolated from the production water of the Daqing oilfield in China and identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. The strain R3-1 is capable of simultaneously producing both of the surfactin and fengycin, the two major families of the lipopeptide biosurfactant. The chemical structures of the surfactin and fengycin were confirmed by a combination of the ESI-MS, FT-IR, and amino acid analyses, and the impact of various temperatures, pH, and NaCl concentrations on the emulsifying activity (E24) was investigated. The lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by the strain R3-1 exhibited strong emulsifying activity with E24 value over 60% on crude oil and different hydrocarbons, including the cyclohexane, hexadecane, benzene, toluene, kerosene, diesel oil, and liquid paraffin. Meanwhile, it showed excellent emulsifying activity across a broad range of conditions of the temperature up to 60 °C, NaCl tolerance up to 100 g/L, and pH values between 5 and 9, which suggests that the strain R3-1 is a valuable microbial candidate for the simultaneous production of the surfactin and fengycin lipopeptide biosurfactant with strong emulsifying properties and stability under diverse environmental conditions and is a potential application in environmental bioremediation and enhanced oil recovery.

根据 16S rRNA 基因序列分析,从中国大庆油田采出水中分离出一株新的产脂肽菌株 Cytobacillus sp.菌株 R3-1 能够同时产生表面活性剂和芬吉星这两种脂肽类生物表面活性剂。通过 ESI-MS、FT-IR 和氨基酸分析,确认了表面活性剂和芬吉星的化学结构,并研究了不同温度、pH 值和 NaCl 浓度对乳化活性(E24)的影响。R3-1菌株产生的脂肽生物表面活性剂对原油和不同烃类(包括环己烷、十六烷、苯、甲苯、煤油、柴油和液体石蜡)具有很强的乳化活性,E24值超过60%。这表明菌株 R3-1 是同时生产表面活性剂和芬吉素脂肽生物表面活性剂的重要微生物候选菌株,具有很强的乳化性能和在不同环境条件下的稳定性,有望应用于环境生物修复和提高石油采收率。

The incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) are alarmingly high, and the scientific community is consistently engaged in developing newer therapeutic options for cancer cure or prevention. The fluoropyrimidine drug, 5-fluorouracil (5FU), remains the first line of treatment against CRC; nevertheless, relapses frequently occur since the cells gain resistance over time through various mechanisms. Studies have highlighted the significance of combinatorial treatment of a Wnt signaling inhibitor and 5FU as a better treatment strategy to overcome 5FU resistance. Small molecules that specifically target and disrupt β-catenin-TCF interaction, a crucial step of the Wnt signaling, are promising in CRC treatment. In this study, we investigated the synergistic cytotoxic activity of menadione with 5FU as the former has previously been shown to downregulate Wnt signaling in CRC cells. Docking and experimental results suggest that the drug combination interfered with key protein-protein interactions in the β-catenin-TCF complex, exerted synergistic anti-cancerous effects in CRC cells, and downregulated the expression of Wnt signaling proteins. Taken together, our data suggest that the simultaneous binding of 5FU and menadione to β-catenin can block Wnt signaling by disrupting β-catenin-TCF interaction and inhibit the proliferation of CRC cells.

结直肠癌(CRC)的发病率和死亡率之高令人震惊,科学界一直致力于开发新的癌症治疗或预防方案。氟嘧啶类药物 5-氟尿嘧啶(5FU)仍然是治疗 CRC 的一线药物;然而,由于细胞会随着时间的推移通过各种机制产生抗药性,因此经常会出现复发。研究强调,Wnt 信号抑制剂和 5FU 的联合治疗是克服 5FU 耐药性的更好治疗策略。特异性靶向和破坏β-catenin-TCF相互作用(Wnt信号转导的关键步骤)的小分子有望用于CRC的治疗。在本研究中,我们研究了甲萘醌与 5FU 的协同细胞毒性活性,因为前者曾被证明能下调 CRC 细胞的 Wnt 信号转导。对接和实验结果表明,该药物组合干扰了β-catenin-TCF复合物中的关键蛋白-蛋白相互作用,在CRC细胞中发挥了协同抗癌作用,并下调了Wnt信号蛋白的表达。综上所述,我们的数据表明,5FU和甲萘醌同时与β-catenin结合,可通过破坏β-catenin-TCF的相互作用阻断Wnt信号传导,抑制CRC细胞的增殖。
