Project description:To characterize naproxen and NO-naproxen, their effects on gene expression in livers of treated rats was examined. We have previously worked with liver and could therefore identify a moderate to strong antioxidant response element signature. There were two goals to this study: 1) to determine whether naproxen and NO-naproxen yield similar gene expression profiles, which would imply that their effects are mediated by the parent NSAID, and 2) to determine whether NO-naproxen, due to the release of NO, might cause increases in expression of genes associated with the antioxidant response element (ARE). In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from liver of untreated rats and rats treated with naproxen (400mg/kg diet) or NO-naproxen (550mg/kg diet) for 7 days. Total 12 samples were analyzed. We generated the following comparisons: NO-Naproxen vs. Control and Naproxen vs. Control. Genes with a p-value < 0.05 and a fold-change M-bM-^IM-%1.5 were selected.

Project description:Bio-augmentation could be a promising strategy to improve processes for treatment and resource recovery from wastewater. In this study, the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis was co-cultured with the microbial communities present in wastewater samples with high concentrations of nitrate or ammonium. Glucose supplementation (1%) was used to boost biomass growth in all wastewater samples. In anaerobic conditions, the indigenous microbial community bio-augmented with B. subtilis was able to rapidly remove nitrate from wastewater. In these conditions, B. subtilis overexpressed nitrogen assimilatory and respiratory genes including NasD, NasE, NarG, NarH, and NarI, which arguably accounted for the observed boost in denitrification. Next, we attempted to use the the ammonium- and nitrate-enriched wastewater samples bio-augmented with B. subtilis in the cathodic compartment of bioelectrochemical systems (BES) operated in anaerobic condition. B. subtilis only had low relative abundance in the microbial community, but bio-augmentation promoted the growth of Clostridium butyricum and C. beijerinckii, which became the dominant species. Both bio-augmentation with B. subtilis and electrical current from the cathode in the BES promoted butyrate production during fermentation of glucose. A concentration of 3.4 g/L butyrate was reached with a combination of cathodic current and bio-augmentation in ammonium-enriched wastewater. With nitrate-enriched wastewater, the BES effectively removed nitrate reaching 3.2 mg/L after 48 h. In addition, 3.9 g/L butyrate was produced. We propose that bio-augmentation of wastewater with B. subtilis in combination with bioelectrochemical processes could both boost denitrification in nitrate-containing wastewater and enable commercial production of butyrate from carbohydrate- containing wastewater, e.g. dairy industry discharges. These results suggest that B. subtilis bio-augmentation in our BES promotes simultaneous wastewater treatment and butyrate production.
Project description:The goals of this study are to use SWATH-MS to detect bacterial proteomic profiles of wild-type Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1, and its protein response under the exposure of non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals, including ibuprofen, naproxen, gemfibrozil, diclofenac, propanolol, and iopromide. The concentrations were 0.5 mg/L for ibuprofen, naproxen, gemfibrozil, diclofenac, propanolol, and 1.0 mg/L for iopromide. The group without dosing pharmaceutical was the control group. Each concentration was conducted in triplicate. By comparing the proteomic profiles of experimental groups and control group, the effects of non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals on translational levels can be revealed.
