Changes in the Metabolome of Alexandrium pacificum upon Addition of Algicidal Microorganisms

ABSTRACT: Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis revealed that algal metabolic pathway genes were differentially expressed under treatment with the fungus–bacterium composite system. Genes involved in glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway were upregulated, enhancing energy supply, antioxidant capacity, and biosynthetic repair, respectively. Genes related to the TCA cycle and fatty acid degradation were upregulated, improving respiratory energy supply, supporting anabolism, initiating emergency energy provision, and participating in cellular repair. Photosynthetic system genes were downregulated, reducing photosynthetic efficiency and shifting metabolic priority toward stress resistance. Oxidative phosphorylation genes were upregulated to coordinate energy supply. Ribosomal genes were upregulated to activate protein translation, meeting the demands of metabolic repair and stress resistance and helping algae adapt to stressful environments.

Project description:Background: The International Space Station is an orbiting laboratory for microbial research in space, where microorganisms can be exposed to multiple extremes. Dehydrated cell clusters of extremophilic bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans have survived 3-year exposure outside the International Space Station in frames of the Tanpopo mission. We investigated the robust molecular machinery of Deinococcus radiodurans involved in its recovery after long-term space travel. Methods: The space-exposed and ground control cells of Deinococcus radiodurans were recovered in a complex medium for 5 and 15 h and investigated using integrative –omics techniques combined with electron microscopy tools. Consolidative transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses were performed to investigate molecular kinetics of cell recovery after 3-year exposure to low Earth orbit. Results: Ultrastructure analysis showed that Deinococcus radiodurans cells remained intact after low Earth orbit exposure for 3 years. Multiscale molecular analysis revealed significant alterations in response to long-term space travel. Key adaptations included upregulated DNA repair genes,stress response regulators, and oxidative stress scavenging enzymes. Proteins associated with transmembrane processes, cell division, and stress defence were also upregulated. Metabolomic analysis showed that only a few amino acids, sugars, and specific metabolites were more abundant after low Earth orbit exposure, suggesting energy conservation for molecular repair and regulation.Primordial stress molecule spermidine is also involved in cells recovery, helping combat the stress factors after space travel. Conclusion: Comparative –omics profile of extracted mRNA, proteins and metabolites allowed us to propose a multiscale dynamic molecular response of Deinococcus radiodurans after 3 years of space exposure. The kinetic profile with 2 timepoints during post-exposure analysis enabled the identification of foreground molecular targets employed by this microorganism in recovery after a space journey. Altogether, a multi-omics approach towards space-exposed cells revealed a strong focus on repair mechanisms, stress defence, and the utilization of external resources during the initial recovery phase. These findings expand our understanding of the molecular mechanisms employed by extremophiles to survive in space, providing implications for astrobiology and future space exploration.

Project description:Pulmonary sequelae (PS) in patients with chronic paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) typically include pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema. Knowledge of the molecular pathways involved in PS of PCM is required for treatment and biomarker identification. This non-concurrent cohort study included 29 patients with pulmonary PCM that were followed before and after treatment. From this group, 17 patients evolved to mild/ moderate PS and 12 evolved severe PS. Sera from patients were evaluated before treatment and at clinical cure, serological cure, and apparent cure. A nanoACQUITY UPLC-Xevo QT MS system and PLGS software were used to identify serum differentially expressed proteins, which were then categorized using Cytoscape software and the Reactome pathway database. Seventy-two differentially expressed serum proteins were identified in patients with severe PS compared with patients with mild/moderate PS. Most proteins altered in severe PS were involved in wound healing, inflammatory response, and oxygen transport pathways. Before treatment and at clinical cure, signaling proteins participating in wound healing, complement cascade, cholesterol transport and retinoid metabolism pathways were downregulated in patients with severe PS, whereas signaling proteins in gluconeogenesis and gas exchange pathways were upregulated. At serological cure, the pattern of protein expression reversed. At apparent cure pathways related with tissue repair (fibrosis) became downregulated, and pathway related oxygen transport became upregulated. Additionally, we identified 11 proteins as candidate biomarkers for severe PS. Development of severe PS is related to increased expression of proteins involved in anabolism (gluconeogenesis and oxygen exchange), indicative of the greater cellular activity and replication associated with early dysregulation of wound healing and aberrant tissue repair. Our findings provide new targets to study mechanisms of PS in PCM, as well as potential biomarkers.
