ABSTRACT: Four species of phytoplankton representing important bloom-forming species from three globally important phyla (Bacillariophyta, Haptophyta, and Ochrophyte) were cultured in this study. These species include the cosmopolitan diatom Chaetoceros affinis CCMP159 (isolated from Great South Bay, NY, USA, 1958), the haptophytes Chrysochromulina polylepis CCMP1757 (isolated from the North Sea 1988) and Gephyrocapsa oceanica RCC1303 (isolated from Arachon Bay, France, Jan 1999), and the raphidophyte Heterosigma akashiwo strain CCMP 2393 (isolated from Rehoboth Bay, Delaware, USA). Cultures were grown under three conditions: nitrogen-stress, phosphorus-stress, and replete conditions. Intracellular metabolites were extracted from cultures and analyzed with targeted and untargeted mass spectrometry-based metabolomics methods.

Project description:Late exponential growth phase (18 h) Emericella nidulans mycelia were transferred to minimal media also supplemented with 1.8 mM diamide, 75 mM H2O2 or 0.8 mM menadione (sodium bisulfite addition compound) and transcriptome profiles were recorded at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 3, 6 and 9 h incubation times. Double printed EST-based (3533 unique sequences) DNA chips were used to monitor changes in cDNA populations prepared from mRNA pools isolated from oxidative stress exposed and untreated control cultures. Gene expression ratios were estimated with Genisphere (Hatfield, PA, USA) 3DNA Submicro EX Expression Array Detection Kit. Expression data were read with a GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments). Intensity ratios were calculated with GenePix Pro 3.0 software. Gene expression ratios were subjected to LOESS-type block-by-block normalization using SAS for Windows, version 8. (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA.) software. Global gene expression profiles were correlated to physiological changes quantified by intracellular reactive oxygen species levels and redox balances. Primary unprocessed experimental data are summarized Series GSE2100. Keywords: time-course

Project description:Introduction: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex multi-factorial disease for which physiologically relevant in vitro models are lacking. Existing models are often a compromise between biological relevance and scalability. Here, we integrated intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) derived from human intestinal organoids from 3 different donors in a gut-on-a-chip platform to model the human intestine and key aspects of IBD. The goal of our transcriptomics experiment was to compare microfluidic-grown IEC to donor-paired HIO cultures in standard Matrigel droplets used for gut-on-a-chip seeding. Methods: For the microfluidic gut-on-a-chip, IEC cells were seeded in the top channel of a 3-lane OrganoPlate on top of a Collagen I gel embedded in the middle channel. Cells were kept in HISC medium devoid of A83-01 for 2 days, before medium was switched back to HISC medium. 6 days after seeding, cells were triggered with LPS 100ng/mL, IFN-γ 20ng/mL for 24 hours. RNA was isolated with TRI-reagent followed by a phenol-chloroform extraction. For the static Matrigel-grown HIO, RNA was isolated of confluent cultures with TRI-reagent followed by a phenol-chloroform extraction. Library preparations, sequencing reactions were conducted at GENEWIZ, LLC. (South Plainfield, NJ, USA). RNA samples were quantified using Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and RNA integrity was checked with 4200 TapeStation (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA). rRNA depletion was performed using Ribozero rRNA Removal Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). RNA sequencing library preparation used NEBNext Ultra RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina by following the manufacturer’s recommendations (NEB, Ipswich, MA, USA). Briefly, enriched RNAs were fragmented for 15 minutes at 94 °C. First strand and second strand cDNA were subsequently synthesized. cDNA fragments were end repaired and adenylated at 3’ends, and universal adapter was ligated to cDNA fragments, followed by index addition and library enrichment with limited cycle PCR. Sequencing libraries were validated using the Agilent Tapestation 4200 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA), and quantified by using Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) as well as by quantitative PCR (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The sequencing libraries were multiplexed and clustered on one lane of a flowcell and loaded on the Illumina HiSeq instrument according to manufacturer’s instructions. The samples were sequenced using a HiSeq 2x150 Paired End (PE) configuration. Image analysis and base calling were conducted by the HiSeq Control Software (HCS). Raw sequence data (.bcl files) generated from Illumina HiSeq was converted into fastq files and de-multiplexed using Illumina's bcl2fastq 2.17 software. One mis-match was allowed for index sequence identification.

Project description:Glutathionylspermdine synthetase/amidase (Gss) and the encoding gene (gss) have only been described in two widely separated species; namely Escherichia coli and several members of the Kinetoplastida phyla. In the present paper we have studied the species distribution more extensively. It is striking that all of the 75 Enterobacteria species that has been sequenced contain sequences with very high degree of homology to the E. coli Gss protein. Although homologous sequences are also present in various other bacteria, in contrast to Enterobacteria they are not present in all species of a given phyla. As previously reported homologous sequences were found in all five species of Kinetoplastids tested (including Trypansosma cruzi), but it is striking that comparable sequences are not found in a variety of invertebrate and vertebrate species, Archea and plants. Studies in E. coli show that the highest accumulation of glutathionylspermidine is found in stationary phase cultures where most of the intracellular spermidine is converted to glutathionylspermidine. However, even in log phase cells there is some formation of glutathionylspermidine, and isotope exchange experiments show that there is a rapid exchange between glutathionylspermidine and intracellular spermidine. We have not been able to define a specific physiologic function for glutathionylspermidine, but microarray studies comparing gss+ and -gss strains of E. coli show that a large number of genes are either upregulated or downregulated by the loss of the gss gene.

Project description:Plasma oncology is a promising therapeutic method that employs ionized gas to selectively target cancer cells. However, despite its efficacy in directly exposing external cancer cells to plasma, a stable delivery method through the circulatory system to internal cancer cells has yet to be developed. In this study, we revealed that bioinspired exosome-mimetic nanovesicles (EMs) can serve as a plasma adjuvant to enhance the anti-cancer effect. EM treatment increased the half-life of plasma reactive species such as nitrogen oxide in solution, thereby increasing the cytotoxicity towards cancer cells. Our syngeneic mice model experiment demonstrated that EM-treated plasma (EM-Plasma) inhibited in vivo cancer growth more efficiently than conventional plasma administration. Furthermore, we uncovered a molecular mechanism through which EM-Plasma selectively induces cancer cell death, namely, Golgi stress-associated ferroptosis. Our study provides a promising approach for the clinical application of plasma oncology in cancer treatment.

Project description:Photoautotrophic cyanobacteria assimilate the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide as their sole carbon source for producing useful bioproducts. However, harvesting the cells from their liquid media is a major bottleneck in the process. Thus, an easy-to-harvest method, such as auto-flocculation, is desirable. Here, we found that cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 co-flocculated with a natural fungal contamination in the presence of the antibiotic erythromycin (EM) but not without EM. The fungi in the co-flocculated biomass were isolated and found to consist of five species with the filamentous Purpureocillium lilacinum and Aspergillus protuberus making up 71% of the overall fungal population. The optimal co-cultivation for flocculation was an initial 5 mg (fresh weight) of fungi, an initial cell density of Synechocystis of 0.2 OD730, 10 µM EM, and 14 days of cultivation in 100 mL of BG11 medium with no organic compound. This yielded 248 ± 28 mg/L of the Synechocystis-fungi flocculated biomass from 560 ± 35 mg/L of total biomass, a 44 ± 2 % biomass flocculation efficiency. Furthermore, the EM treated Synechocystis cells in the Synechocystis-fungi flocculate had a normal cell color and morphology, while those in the axenic suspension exhibited strong chlorosis. Thus, the occurrence of the Synechocystis-fungi flocculation was mediated by EM, and the co-flocculation with the fungi helped Synechocystis to alleviate the negative effect of EM. Transcriptomic analysis of suspended and flocculated (with the fungi) Synechocystis cells suggested that the EM-mediated co-flocculation was a result of down-regulation of the minor pilin genes and up-regulation of several genes including the chaperone gene for pilin regulation, the S-layer protein genes, the exopolysaccharide-polymerization gene, and the genes for signaling proteins involved in cell attachment and abiotic-stress responses. The EM treatment may be applied in the co-culture between other cyanobacteria and fungi to mediate cell bio-flocculation.
