Project description:Background: Cyanobacteria are ecologically significant prokaryotes that can be found in heavy metals contaminated environments. As their photosynthetic machinery imposes high demands for metals, homeostasis of these micronutrients has been extensively considered in cyanobacteria. Recently, most studies have been focused on different habitats using microalgae leads to a remarkable reduction of an array of organic and inorganic nutrients, but what takes place in the extracellular environment when cells are exposed to external supplementation with heavy metals remains largely unknown. Methods: Here, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production in strains Nostoc sp. N27P72 and Nostoc sp. FB71 was isolated from different habitats and thenthe results were compared and reported . Result: Cultures of both strains, supplemented separately with either glucose, sucrose, lactose, or maltose showed that production of EPS and cell dry weight were boosted by maltose supplementation. The production of EPS (9.1 ± 0.05 μg/ml) and increase in cell dry weight (1.01 ± 0.06 g/l) were comparatively high in Nostoc sp. N27P72 which was isolated from lime stones.The cultures were evaluated for their ability to remove Cu (II), Cr (III), and Ni (II) in culture media with and without maltose. The crude EPS showed metal adsorption capacity assuming the order Ni (II)> Cu (II)> Cr (III) from the metal-binding experiments .Nickel was preferentially biosorbed with a maximal uptake of 188.8 ± 0.14 mg (g cell dry wt) -1 crude EPS. We found that using maltose as a carbon source can increase the production of EPS, protein, and carbohydrates content and it could be a significant reason for the high ability of metal absorbance. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed that the treatment with Ni can change the functional groups and glycoside linkages in both strains. Results of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) were used to determine the biochemical composition of Nostoc sp. N27P72, showed that strong Ni (II) removal capability could be associated with the high silicon containing heterocyclic compound and aromatic diacid compounds content. Conclusion: The results of this studyindicatede that strains Nostoc sp. N27P72 can be a good candidate for the commercial production of EPS and might be utilized in bioremediation field as an alternative to synthetic and abiotic flocculants.

Project description:BackgroundOxygen deprivation or hypoxia in the kidney drives CKD and contributes to end organ damage. The erythrocyte's role in delivery of oxygen (O2) is regulated by hypoxia, but the effects of CKD are unknown.MethodsWe screened all of the metabolites in the whole blood of mice infused with angiotensin II (Ang II) at 140 ng/kg per minute up to 14 days to simulate CKD and compared their metabolites with those from untreated mice. Mice lacking a receptor on their erythrocytes called ADORA2B, which increases O2 delivery, and patients with CKD were studied to assess the role of ADORA2B-mediated O2 delivery in CKD.ResultsUntargeted metabolomics showed increased production of 2,3-biphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG), an erythrocyte-specific metabolite promoting O2 delivery, in mice given Ang II to induce CKD. Genetic studies in mice revealed that erythrocyte ADORA2B signaling leads to AMPK-stimulated activation of BPG mutase, promoting 2,3-BPG production and O2 delivery to counteract kidney hypoxia, tissue damage, and disease progression in Ang II-induced CKD. Enhancing AMPK activation in mice offset kidney hypoxia by triggering 2,3-BPG production and O2 delivery. Patients with CKD had higher 2,3-BPG levels, AMPK activity, and O2 delivery in their erythrocytes compared with controls. Changes were proportional to disease severity, suggesting a protective effect.ConclusionsMouse and human evidence reveals that ADORA2B-AMPK signaling cascade-induced 2,3-BPG production promotes O2 delivery by erythrocytes to counteract kidney hypoxia and progression of CKD. These findings pave a way to novel therapeutic avenues in CKD targeting this pathway.

Project description:We report for the first time movement of Correia Repeat Enclosed Elements, through inversion of the element at its chromosomal location. Analysis of Ion Torrent generated genome sequence data from Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain NCCP11945 passaged for 8 weeks in the laboratory under standard conditions and stress conditions revealed a total of 37 inversions: 24 were exclusively seen in the stressed sample; 7 in the control sample; and the remaining 3 were seen in both samples. These inversions have the capability to alter gene expression in N. gonorrhoeae through the previously determined activities of the sequence features of these elements. In addition, the locations of predicted non-coding RNAs were investigated to identify potential associations with CREE. Associations varied between strains, as did the number of each element identified. The analysis indicates a role for CREE in disrupting ancestral regulatory networks, including non-coding RNAs. RNA-Seq was used to examine expression changes related to Correia repeats in the strain

Project description:Reduction of residual albuminuria during single-agent renin-angiotensin-aldosterone blockade is accompanied by improved cardiorenal outcomes in CKD. We studied the individual and combined effects of the vitamin D receptor activator paricalcitol (PARI) and dietary sodium restriction on residual albuminuria in CKD. In a multicenter, randomized, placebo (PLAC)-controlled, crossover trial, 45 patients with nondiabetic CKD stages 1-3 and albuminuria >300 mg/24 h despite ramipril at 10 mg/d and BP<140/90 mmHg were treated for four 8-week periods with PARI (2 μg/d) or PLAC, each combined with a low-sodium (LS) or regular sodium (RS) diet. We analyzed the treatment effect by linear mixed effect models for repeated measurements. In the intention-to-treat analysis, albuminuria (geometric mean) was 1060 (95% confidence interval, 778 to 1443) mg/24 h during RS + PLAC and 990 (95% confidence interval, 755 to 1299) mg/24 h during RS + PARI (P=0.20 versus RS + PLAC). LS + PLAC reduced albuminuria to 717 (95% confidence interval, 512 to 1005) mg/24 h (P<0.001 versus RS + PLAC), and LS + PARI reduced albuminuria to 683 (95% confidence interval, 502 to 929) mg/24 h (P<0.001 versus RS + PLAC). The reduction by PARI beyond the effect of LS was nonsignificant (P=0.60). In the per-protocol analysis restricted to participants with ≥95% compliance with study medication, PARI did provide further albuminuria reduction (P=0.04 LS + PARI versus LS + PLAC). Dietary adherence was good as reflected by urinary excretion of 174±64 mmol Na+ per day in the combined RS groups and 108±61 mmol Na+ per day in the LS groups (P<0.001). In conclusion, moderate dietary sodium restriction substantially reduced residual albuminuria during fixed dose angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition. The additional effect of PARI was small and nonsignificant.

Project description:BackgroundOur metabolome approach found that levels of circulating, free deoxycholic acid (DCA) is associated with the severity of vascular calcification in patients with CKD. However, it is not known whether DCA directly causes vascular calcification in CKD.MethodsUsing various chemicals and animal and cell culture models, we investigated whether the modulation of DCA levels influences vascular calcification in CKD.ResultsCKD increased levels of DCA in mice and humans by decreasing urinary DCA excretion. Treatment of cultured VSMCs with DCA but no other bile acids (BAs) induced vascular calcification and osteogenic differentiation through endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated activating transcription factor-4 (ATF4) activation. Treatment of mice with Farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-specific agonists selectively reduced levels of circulating cholic acid-derived BAs, such as DCA, protecting from CKD-dependent medial calcification and atherosclerotic calcification. Reciprocal FXR deficiency and DCA treatment induced vascular calcification by increasing levels of circulating DCA and activating the ER stress response.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that DCA plays a causative role in regulating CKD-dependent vascular diseases through ER stress-mediated ATF4 activation.

Project description:From the beginning of research on receptors of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily (TNFRSF), agonistic antibodies have been used to stimulate TNFRSF receptors in vitro and in vivo. Indeed, CD95, one of the first cloned TNFRSF receptors, was solely identified as the target of cell death-inducing antibodies. Early on, it became evident from in vitro studies that valency and Fcγ receptor (FcγR) binding of antibodies targeting TNFRSF receptors can be of crucial relevance for agonistic activity. TNFRSF receptor-specific antibodies of the IgM subclass and secondary cross-linked or aggregation prone dimeric antibodies typically display superior agonistic activity compared with dimeric antibodies. Likewise, anchoring of antibodies to cell surface-expressed FcγRs potentiate their ability to trigger TNFRSF receptor signaling. However, only recently has the relevance of oligomerization and FcγR binding for the in vivo activity of antibody-induced TNFRSF receptor activation been straightforwardly demonstrated in vivo. This review discusses the crucial role of oligomerization and/or FcγR binding for antibody-mediated TNFRSF receptor stimulation in light of current models of TNFRSF receptor activation and especially the overwhelming relevance of these issues for the rational development of therapeutic TNFRSF receptor-targeting antibodies.

Project description:The Rhodopsin family of G-protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprises the targets of nearly a third of all pharmaceuticals. Despite structural water present in GPCR X-ray structures, the physiological relevance of these solvent molecules to rhodopsin signaling remains unknown. Here, we show experimental results consistent with the idea that rhodopsin activation in lipid membranes is coupled to bulk water movements into the protein. To quantify hydration changes, we measured reversible shifting of the metarhodopsin equilibrium due to osmotic stress using an extensive series of polyethylene glycol (PEG) osmolytes. We discovered clear evidence that light activation entails a large influx of bulk water (∼80–100 molecules) into the protein, giving insight into GPCR activation mechanisms. Various size polymer osmolytes directly control rhodopsin activation, in which large solutes are excluded from rhodopsin and dehydrate the protein, favoring the inactive state. In contrast, small osmolytes initially forward shift the activation equilibrium until a quantifiable saturation point is reached, similar to gain-of-function protein mutations. For the limit of increasing osmolyte size, a universal response of rhodopsin to osmotic stress is observed, suggesting it adopts a dynamic, hydrated sponge-like state upon photoactivation. Our results demand a rethinking of the role of water dynamics in modulating various intermediates in the GPCR energy landscape. We propose that besides bound water, an influx of bulk water plays a necessary role in establishing the active GPCR conformation that mediates signaling.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical syndrome with complex pathogenesis, characterized by a rapid decline in kidney function in the short term. Worse still, the incomplete recovery from AKI increases the risk of progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the pathogenesis and underlying mechanism remain largely unknown. Macrophages play an important role during kidney injury and tissue repair, but its role in AKI-to-CKD transition remains elusive. Herein, single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-Seq) and flow cytometry validations showed that E-type prostaglandin receptor 4 (EP4) was selectively activated in renal macrophages, rather than proximal tubules, in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced AKI-to-CKD transition mouse model. EP4 inhibition aggravated AKI-to-CKD transition, while EP4 activation impeded the progression of AKI to CKD though regulating macrophage polarization. Mechanistically, network pharmacological analysis and subsequent experimental verifications revealed that the activated EP4 inhibited macrophage polarization through inducing Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2)-mediated lipophagy in macrophages. Further, CPT2 inhibition abrogated the protective effect of EP4 on AKI-to-CKD transition. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that EP4-CPT2 signaling-mediated lipophagy in macrophages plays a pivotal role in the transition of AKI to CKD and targeting EP4-CPT2 axis could serve as a promising therapeutic approach for retarding AKI and its progression to CKD.

Project description:IntroductionSoluble urokinase plasminogen activation receptor (suPAR) is an immune-derived pathogenic factor for kidney and atherosclerotic disease. Whether the association between suPAR and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes is dependent on the severity of underlying kidney disease is unclear.MethodsWe measured serum suPAR levels in 4994 participants (mean age 60 years; 60% men; 36% with diabetes mellitus; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 49 ml/min per 1.73 m2, SD 18) of the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) cohort and examined its association with all-cause death, CV death, and major CV events (MACE) across the range of eGFR and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR).ResultsThe median suPAR level was 1771 pg/ml (interquartile range [IQR] 1447-2254 pg/ml). SuPAR levels were positively and independently correlated with age, eGFR, UACR, and parathyroid hormone levels. There were 573 deaths, including 190 CV deaths and 683 MACE events at a follow-up time of 6.5 years. In multivariable analyses, suPAR levels (log2) were associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21-1.53), CV death (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.03-1.57), and MACE (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.00-1.28), and were not found to differ according to diabetes mellitus status, baseline eGFR, UACR, or parathyroid hormone levels. In mediation analysis, suPAR's direct effect on all-cause death, CV death, and MACE accounted for 77%, 67%, and 60% of the total effect, respectively; whereas the effect mediated through eGFR accounted for 23%, 34%, and 40%, respectively.ConclusionIn a large cohort of individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), suPAR levels were associated with mortality and CV outcomes independently of indices of kidney function, consistent with its independent role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
