Dual-Channel Probe of Carbon Dots Cooperating with Lanthanide Complex Employed for Simultaneously Distinguishing and Sequentially Detecting Tetracycline and Oxytetracycline.

ABSTRACT: Tetracycline (TC) and oxytetracycline (OTC) are the most widely used broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents in tetracycline drugs, and their structures and properties are very similar, so it is a great challenge to distinguish and detect these two antibiotics with a single probe at the same time. Herein, a dual-channel fluorescence probe (SiCDs@mMIPs-cit-Eu) was developed by integrating two independent reaction sites with SiCDs-doped mesoporous silica molecular imprinting group and europium complex group into a nanomaterial. The synergistic influence of inner filter effect and "antenna effect" can be guaranteed to solve the distinction between TC and OTC. Moreover, this novel strategy can also sequentially detect TC and OTC in buffer solution and real samples with high sensitivity and selectivity. This method revealed good responses to TC and OTC ranging from 0 to 5.5 μM with a detection limit of 5 and 16 nM, respectively. Combined with the smartphone color-scanning application, the portable and cheap paper-based sensor was designed to realize the multi-color visual on-site detection of TC and OTC. In addition, the logic gate device was constructed according to the fluorescence color change of the probe for TC and OTC, which provided the application possibility for the intelligent detection of the probe.

A multi-signal fluorescent probe for simultaneously distinguishing and sequentially sensing cysteine/homocysteine, glutathione, and hydrogen sulfide in living cells.

Project description:Biothiols, which have a close network of generation and metabolic pathways among them, are essential reactive sulfur species (RSS) in the cells and play vital roles in human physiology. However, biothiols possess highly similar chemical structures and properties, resulting in it being an enormous challenge to simultaneously discriminate them from each other. Herein, we develop a unique fluorescent probe (HMN) for not only simultaneously distinguishing Cys/Hcy, GSH, and H2S from each other, but also sequentially sensing Cys/Hcy/GSH and H2S using a multi-channel fluorescence mode for the first time. When responding to the respective biothiols, the robust probe exhibits multiple sets of fluorescence signals at three distinct emission bands (blue-green-red). The new probe can also sense H2S at different concentration levels with changes of fluorescence at the blue and red emission bands. In addition, the novel probe HMN is able to discriminate and sequentially sense biothiols in biological environments via three-color fluorescence imaging. We expect that the development of the robust probe HMN will provide a powerful strategy to design fluorescent probes for the discrimination and sequential detection of biothiols, and offer a promising tool for exploring the interrelated roles of biothiols in various physiological and pathological conditions.

Global responses to oxytetracycline treatment in tetracycline-resistant Escherichia coli.

Project description:We characterized the global transcriptome of Escherichia coli MG1655:: tetA grown in the presence of ½ MIC (14?mg/L) of OTC, and for comparison WT MG1655 strain grown with 1//2 MIC of OTC (0.25?mg/L OTC). 1646 genes changed expression significantly (FDR?>?0.05) in the resistant strain, the majority of which (1246) were also regulated in WT strain. Genes involved in purine synthesis and ribosome structure and function were top-enriched among up-regulated genes, and anaerobic respiration, nitrate metabolism and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis genes among down-regulated genes. Blocking of the purine-synthesis- did not affect resistance phenotypes (MIC and growth rate with OTC), while blocking of protein synthesis using low concentrations of chloramphenicol or gentamicin, lowered MIC towards OTC. Metabolic-modeling, using a novel model for MG1655 and continuous weighing factor that reflected the degree of up or down regulation of genes encoding a reaction, identified 102 metabolic reactions with significant change in flux in MG1655:: tetA when grown in the presence of OTC compared to growth without OTC. These pathways could not have been predicted by simply analyzing functions of the up and down regulated genes, and thus this work has provided a novel method for identification of reactions which are essential in the adaptation to growth in the presence of antimicrobials.

Doping Lanthanide Nanocrystals With Non-lanthanide Ions to Simultaneously Enhance Up- and Down-Conversion Luminescence.

Project description:The rare-earth nanocrystals containing Er3+ emitters offer very promising tools for imaging applications, as they can not only exhibit up-conversion luminescence but also down-conversion luminescence in the second near-infrared window (NIR II). Doping non-lanthanide cations into host matrix was demonstrated to be an effective measure for improving the luminescence efficiency of Er3+ ions, while still awaiting in-depth investigations on the effects of dopants especially those with high valence states on the optical properties of lanthanide nanocrystals. To address this issue, tetravalent Zr4+ doped hexagonal NaGdF4:Yb,Er nanocrystals were prepared, and the enhancement effects of the Zr4+ doping level on both up-conversion luminescence in the visible window and down-conversion luminescence in NIR II window were investigated, with steady-state and transient luminescence spectroscopies. The key role of the local crystal field distortions around Er3+ emitters was elucidated in combination with the results based on both of Zr4+ and its lower valence counterparts, e.g., Sc3+, Mg2+, Mn2+. Univalent ions such as Li+ was utilized to substitute Na+ ion rather than Gd3+, and the synergistic effects of Zr4+ and Li+ ions by co-doping them into NaGdF4:Yb,Er nanocrystals were investigated toward optimal enhancement. Upon optimization, the up-conversion emission of co-doped NaGdF4:Yb,Er nanocrystals was enhanced by more than one order of magnitude compared with undoped nanocrystals. The current studies thus demonstrate that the local crystal field surrounding emitters is an effective parameter for manipulating the luminescence of lanthanide emitters.

Occurrence of tetracycline resistance genes in aquaculture facilities with varying use of oxytetracycline.

Project description:The contribution of human activities to environmental reservoirs of antibiotic resistance is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to determine if oxytetracycline (OTC) use in aquaculture facilities increased the detection frequency (i.e., prevalence) of tetracycline resistance (tet(R)) genes relative to facilities with no recent OTC treatment. We used polymerase chain reaction to screen water and sediment from four noncommercial fish farms in northwestern Wisconsin for the presence of ten tet(R) determinants: tet(A), tet(B), tet(D), tet(E), tet(G), tet(M), tet(O), tet(Q), tet(S), and tet(W). Water from farms with recent OTC use had significantly higher tet(R) detection frequencies than did water from farms without recent OTC use, with prevalence in raceways and rearing ponds of farms with recent OTC use exceeding by more than twofold that of farms not using OTC. Effluent from all farms, regardless of treatment regime, had higher tet(R) detection frequencies than their corresponding influent for all genes, but the specific combinations of tet(R) genes detected in a sample were not different from their corresponding influent. Although OTC use was associated with the increased occurrence and diversity of tet(R) genes in water samples, it was not found to relate to tet(R) gene occurrence in sediment samples. Sediment samples from facilities with no recent OTC use had significantly higher frequencies of tet(R) gene detection than did samples from facilities with recent OTC use. All of the tet(R) genes were detected in both the medicated and nonmedicated feed samples analyzed in this study. These findings suggest that both OTC treatment in aquaculture facilities and the farms themselves may be sources of tet(R) gene introduction to the environment. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use genotypic and cultivation-independent methods to examine tet(R) gene occurrence associated with OTC use in aquaculture.

Oxytetracycline reduces the diversity of tetracycline-resistance genes in the Galleria mellonella gut microbiome.

Project description:BackgroundClinically-relevant multidrug resistance is sometimes present in bacteria not exposed to human-made antibiotics, in environments without extreme selective pressures, such as the insect gut. The use of antibiotics on naïve microbiomes often leads to decreased microbe diversity and increased antibiotic resistance.ResultsHere we investigate the impact of antibiotics on the insect gut microbiome by identifying tetracycline-resistance genes in the gut bacteria of greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) larvae, feeding on artificial food containing oxytetracycline. We determined that G. mellonella can be raised on artificial food for over five generations and that the insects tolerate low doses of antibiotics in their diets, but doses of oxytetracycline higher than sub-inhibitory lead to early larval mortality. In our experiments, greater wax moth larvae had a sparse microbiome, which is consistent with previous findings. Additionally, we determined that the microbiome of G. mellonella larvae not exposed to antibiotics carries a number of tetracycline-resistance genes and some of that diversity is lost upon exposure to strong selective pressure.ConclusionsWe show that G. mellonella larvae can be raised on artificial food, including antibiotics, for several generations and that the microbiome can be sampled. We show that, in the absence of antibiotics, the insect gut microbiome can maintain a diverse pool of tetracycline-resistance genes. Selective pressure, from exposure to the antibiotic oxytetracycline, leads to microbiome changes and alteration in the tetracycline-resistance gene pool.

Behavioral impacts of sequentially versus simultaneously delivered dietary plus physical activity interventions: the CALM trial.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Few studies have evaluated how to combine dietary and physical activity (PA) interventions to enhance adherence. PURPOSE:We tested how sequential versus simultaneous diet plus PA interventions affected behavior changes. METHODS:Two hundred participants over age 44 years not meeting national PA and dietary recommendations (daily fruit and vegetable servings and percent of calories from saturated fat) were randomized to one of four 12-month telephone interventions: sequential (exercise first or diet first), simultaneous, or attention control. At 4 months, the other health behavior was added in the sequential arms. RESULTS:Ninety-three percent of participants were retained through 12 months. At 4 months, only exercise first improved PA, and only the simultaneous and diet-first interventions improved dietary variables. At 12 months, mean levels of all behaviors in the simultaneous arm met recommendations, though not in the exercise- and diet-first arms. CONCLUSIONS:We observed a possible behavioral suppression effect of early dietary intervention on PA that merits investigation.

Tetracycline Resistance Gene Profiles in Red Seabream (<i>Pagrus major</i>) Intestine and Rearing Water After Oxytetracycline Administration.

Project description:Marine aquaculture fish and the environment are possible hot spots for the maintenance and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). We here show the time courses of changes of six tetracycline resistance genes (tet) in fish rearing seawater and fish intestine in tank experiments. Experimental tanks were prepared as oxytetracycline (OTC) administration tanks and those without OTC. It was found that tet(B), tet(M), and tet(W) were dominant in seawater among the six tet genes. tet(B) and tet(M) abundances increased immediately after OTC administration, indicating that OTC served as a selective pressure to increase the proportion of tet-possessing bacteria. In contrast, the abundance of tet genes in the fish intestine did not differ between the with- and without-OTC administration groups, and clearly was not altered by OTC administration. Profile changing of tet in seawater and fish intestine did not synchronize. These observations suggested that the dynamics of intestinal tet-possessing bacteria do not directly reflect the environment, but reflect selection within the intestine.

Lanthanide-Coordinated Semiconducting Polymer Dots Used for Flow Cytometry and Mass Cytometry.

Project description:Simultaneous monitoring of biomarkers as well as single-cell analyses based on flow cytometry and mass cytometry are important for investigations of disease mechanisms, drug discovery, and signaling-network studies. Flow cytometry and mass cytometry are complementary to each other; however, probes that can satisfy all the requirements for these two advanced technologies are limited. In this study, we report a probe of lanthanide-coordinated semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots), which possess fluorescence and mass signals. We demonstrated the usage of this dual-functionality probe for both flow cytometry and mass cytometry in a mimetic cell mixture and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells as model systems. The probes not only offer high fluorescence signal for use in flow cytometry, but also show better performance in mass cytometry than the commercially available counterparts.

Detecting and distinguishing between apicultural plants using UAV multispectral imaging.

Project description:Detecting and distinguishing apicultural plants are important elements of the evaluation and quantification of potential honey production worldwide. Today, remote sensing can provide accurate plant distribution maps using rapid and efficient techniques. In the present study, a five-band multispectral unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was used in an established beekeeping area on Lemnos Island, Greece, for the collection of high-resolution images from three areas where Thymus capitatus and Sarcopoterium spinosum are present. Orthophotos of UAV bands for each area were used in combination with vegetation indices in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, to classify the area occupied by the two plant species. From the five classifiers (Random Forest, RF; Gradient Tree Boost, GTB; Classification and Regression Trees, CART; Mahalanobis Minimum Distance, MMD; Support Vector Machine, SVM) in GEE, the RF gave the highest overall accuracy with a Kappa coefficient reaching 93.6%, 98.3%, 94.7%, and coefficient of 0.90, 0.97, 0.92 respectively for each case study. The training method used in the present study detected and distinguish the two plants with great accuracy and results were confirmed using 70% of the total score to train the GEE and 30% to assess the method's accuracy. Based on this study, identification and mapping of Thymus capitatus areas is possible and could help in the promotion and protection of this valuable species which, on many Greek Islands, is the sole foraging plant of honeybees.

Green Preparation of Fluorescent Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots for Sensitive Detection of Oxytetracycline in Environmental Samples.

Project description:Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) with strong fluorescence were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method using natural biomass waste. Two efficient fluorescent probes were constructed for selective and sensitive detection of oxytetracycline (OTC). The synthesized N-CQDs were characterized by UV-visible absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), which proved that the synthesized N-CQDs surface were functionalized and had stable fluorescence performance. The basis of N-CQDs detection of OTC was discussed, and various reaction conditions were studied. Under optimized conditions, orange peel carbon quantum dots (ON-CQDs) and watermelon peel carbon quantum dots (WN-CQDs) have a good linear relationship with OTC concentrations in the range of 2-100 µmol L-1 and 0.25-100 µmol L-1, respectively. ON-CQDs and WN-CQDs were both successfully applied in detecting the OTC in pretreated tap water, lake water, and soil, with the recovery rate at 91.724-103.206%, and the relative standard deviation was less than 5.35%. The results showed that the proposed N-CQDs proved to be green and simple, greatly reducing the detection time for OTC in the determination environment.
