A versatile drug delivery system targeting senescent cells

ABSTRACT: Senescent cells accumulate in many ageing-associated diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, and targeting these cells has recently emerged as a promising therapeutic approach. Here, we take advantage of the high β-galactosidase activity of senescent cells to design a targeted drug delivery system based on the encapsulation of drugs with galacto-oligosaccharides (GalNP beads). In this experiment we show that gal-encapsulated rhodamine target senescent cells in the context of pulmonary fibrosis in mice.

Transcriptional and Functional Characterization of genetic elements involved in galacto-oligosaccharide utilisation by Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003

Project description:It is increasingly recognised that the gastrointestinal microbiota plays a critical role in human health and promising evidence is accumulating that with dietary strategies, of prebiotic intervention, microbiota imbalances can be corrected and host health improved. Several prebiotics are widely used commercially in foods including inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides and resistant starches and there is convincing evidence, in particular for galacto-oligosaccharides, that prebiotics can modulate the microbiota and promote the growth of bifidobacteria in the intestinal tract of infants and adults. In this study we describe the identification and functional characterisation of the genetic loci responsible for the transport and metabolism of purified galacto-oligosaccharides (PGOS) by our model bifidobacterial strain, B. breve UCC2003. We further demonstrate that the extracellular endogalactanase specified by several B. breve strains, including B. breve UCC2003, is essential for metabolism of PGOS components with a long retention time and high degree of polymerisation. These PGOS components are transported into the bifidobacterial cell via various ABC transport systems and sugar permeases where they are further metabolised to galactose and glucose monomers that feed into the bifid shunt. This research described here advances our understanding of GOS metabolism by bifidobacteria and for the future there is great potential for exploiting bifidobacterial beta-galactosidase to create targeted prebiotics that can enrich for selected Bifiobacteria sp. and other beneficial microbes among the gut microbiota.

Transcriptomic Responses of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Encapsulated in Silica Gel

Project description:Global gene expression of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encapsulated in silica gel was examined by microarray analysis. Cultures were encapsulated in gels derived from aqueous precursors and gels derived from alkoxide precursors and incubated under constant light for 24 hours prior to RNA extraction. Cultures suspended in liquid media were also exposed to 500 mM salt stress and incubated under identical conditions, for comparison purposes. The expression of 414 genes was significantly altered by encapsulation in aqueous-derived gels (fold change >/= 1.5 and P-value < 0.01), the expression of 1143 genes were significantly altered by encapsulation in alkoxide derived gels, and only 243 genes were common to both encapsulation chemistries. Additional qRT-PCR analyses of four select genes; ggpS, cpcG2, slr5055, and sll5057, confirmed microarray results. These results illustrate that encapsulation stress is quite different than salt stress in terms of gene expression response. Furthermore, a number of hypothetical and unknown proteins associated with encapsulation and alcohol stress have been identified, with implications for improving encapsulation protocols and rationally engineering microorganisms for direct biofuel production. 16 samples; 4 biological replicates each of 4 treatments

Metabolism of a plant derived galactose-containing polysaccharide by Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003

Project description:In this study, we describe the functional characterisation of the B. breve UCC2003 gal locus, which is dedicated to the utilisation of galactan, a plant-derived polysaccharide. Using a combination of molecular approaches we conclude that the galA gene of B. breve UCC2003 encodes a beta-1,4-endogalactanase producing galacto-oligosaccharides, which are specifically internalised by an ABC transport system, encoded by galBCDE, and which are then hydrolysed to galactose moieties by a dedicated intracellular beta-galactosidase, specified by galG. The generated galactose molecules are presumed to be fed into the fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase pathway via the Leloir pathway, thereby allowing B. breve UCC2003 to use galactan as its sole carbon and energy source. In addition to these findings we demonstrate that GalR is a LacI-type DNA-binding protein, which not only appears to control transcription of the galCDEGR operon, but also that of the galA gene.

Single Cell Analysis of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Project description:<p>Pulmonary fibrosis is a heterogenous syndrome in which fibrotic scar replaces normal lung tissue. We performed massively parallel single-cell RNA-Seq on lung tissue from eight lung transplant donors and eight patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Combined with in situ RNA hybridization, with amplification, these data provide a molecular atlas of disease pathobiology. We identified a distinct, novel population of profibrotic alveolar macrophages exclusively in patients with fibrosis. Within epithelial cells, the expression of genes involved in Wnt secretion and response was restricted to non-overlapping cells. We identified rare cell populations including airway stem cells and senescent cells emerging during pulmonary fibrosis. Analysis of a cryobiopsy specimen from a patient with early disease supports the clinical application of single-cell RNA-Seq to develop personalized approaches to therapy.</p>

Fermentation of soy juice by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum confers a yogurt-like texture, flavours and health-promoting metabolites

Project description:The aim of the study was to decipher metabolisms responsible (i) for the peculiar adaptation of L. plantarum during soy juice fermentation and (ii) for the release of aroma compounds, amino and short-chain fatty acid, and metabolites with health-promoting properties in soy yogurt. The strategy was the sequencing and annotation of a strain (L. plantarum CIRM-BIA777, PRJEB77707) able to degrade galacto- oligosaccharides, the sampling of soy yogurt, RNA-seq to identify differentially expressed genes of L. plantarum and corresponding metabolisms throughout the kinetics of fermentation. Acids and volatile compounds were also quantified.

Metabolism of biosynthetic oligosaccharides by human-derived Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 and Bifidobacterium longum NCIMB 88099

Project description:This work aimed to investigate the ability of two human-derived bifidobacterial strains, i.e. Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 and Bifidobacterium longum NCIMB 8809, to utilize various oligosaccharides (i.e., 4-galactosyl-kojibiose, lactulosucrose, lactosyl-oligofructosides, raffinosyl-oligofructosides and lactulose-derived galacto-oligosaccharides) synthesized by means of microbial glycoside hydrolases. With the exception of raffinosyl-oligofructosides, these biosynthetic oligosaccharides were shown to support growth of at least one of the two studied strains. Short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) analysis by HPLC corroborated the suitability of most of the studied novel oligosaccharides as growth substrates for the two bifidobacterial strains, showing that acetate is the main metabolic end product followed by lactic and formic acids. Transcriptomic and functional genomic approaches carried out for B. breve UCC2003 allowed the identification of key genes encoding glycoside hydrolases and protein transport systems involved in the metabolism of 4-galactosyl-kojibiose and lactulosucrose. In particular, the role of β-galactosidases in the hydrolysis of these particular trisaccharides was demonstrated, highlighting their importance in oligosaccharide metabolism by human bifidobacterial strains.
