Project description:Mycotoxin citrinin (CTN) is a contaminant widely found in foods, feeds, and fermented health supplements. To investigate the potential neurotoxic effect of CTN, RNA-seq was performed on human neuroblastoma cells SH-SY5Y exposed to 0, 10, and 20 μM CTN for 72 h. The transcriptomic profile revealed novel underlying mechanisms of CTN neurotoxicity, providing useful information for risk assessment of consuming CTN-contaminated grains and its commercial food products.

Project description:identification and isolation new probiotic of fermented products
Project description:The purpose of this study is to analyze the key enzyme systems of Fermented Food Microorganisms, and trace its beneficial functional microorganisms through key enzymes. The test sample was a traditonal fermented food. To improve the accuracy and credibility of protein Information, 12 test parallels were randomly selected for the following analysis.
Project description:Ethyl carbamate is a common food contaminant prevalent in fermented food with probable carcinogenic effects in animals. To date, other toxicological properties of ethyl carbamate are not well characterized. Using the genetic model Caenorhabditis elegans, we found that chronic exposure to ethyl carbamate during larval development inhibits growth while exposure at adulthood inhibits reproduction, shortens lifespan, and promotes degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Through whole-transcriptome RNA-sequencing, we found that ethyl carbamate invokes a widespread transcriptomic response inducing the differential expression of > 4,000 genes by at least 2-fold. Functional analysis of RNA-sequencing data revealed that genes up-regulated enrich to various neuron regulatory processes and xenobiotic defense. Gene expression analysis confirms that various genes functioning within phase 1 and 2 detoxification responses along with ABC transporters are highly up-regulated in response to ethyl carbamate exposure, suggesting the induction of oxidative stress. Overall, these findings demonstrates new toxicological properties of chronic ethyl carbamate exposure and provide new insights into the effects in has on transcriptome regulation in the C. elegans model.
Project description:Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are of industrial importance in the production of fermented foods, among which sourdough-derived products. Despite their limited metabolic capacity LAB contribute considerably to important characteristics of fermented foods, among which extended shelf-life, microbial safety, improved texture, and enhanced organoleptic properties. Thanks to the considerable amount of LAB genomic information that became available during the last years, transcriptome, and by extension meta-transcriptome studies, are the exquisite research approaches to study whole ecosystem gene expression into more detail. In this study, microarray analyses were performed using RNA sampled during four 10-day spontaneous sourdough fermentations carried out in the laboratory, namely two wheat and two spelt fermentations with daily back-slopping. Hereto, the in-house developed functional gene LAB microarray was used, representing 406 genes that play a key role in sugar and nitrogen metabolism, functional metabolite production, stress responses and health and safety characteristics. The results reveal the activation of different key metabolic pathways, the ability to use different energy sources, and successful acid and oxidative stress responses. Also, a new algorithm was developed to compute a net expression profile for each of the represented genes, thereby exceeding the species level.
