Project description:The cadmium-resistant Cupriavidus sp. E324 strain has been previously shown to have a high potential for use in cadmium (Cd) remediation, due to its high capacity for cadmium bioaccumulation. According to the comparative genomic analysis, the E324 strain was most closely related to C. nantongensis X1 T , indicating that the E324 strain should be re-identified as C. nantongensis. To unravel the Cd tolerance mechanisms of C. nantongensis E324, the transcriptional response of this strain to Cd stress was assessed using RNA-seq-based transcriptome analysis, followed by validation through qRT- PCR. The results showed that the upregulated Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched in categories related to metal binding and transport, phosphate transport, and oxidative stress response. Consistently, we observed significant increases in both the cell wall and intracellular contents of certain essential metals (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn) upon Cd exposure). Among these, only the Zn pretreatment resulting in high Zn accumulation in the cell walls could enhance bacterial growth under Cd stress conditions through its role in inhibiting Cd accumulation. Additionally, the promotion of catalase activity and glutathione metabolism upon Cd exposure to cope with Cd-induced oxidative stress was demonstrated. Meanwhile, the upregulation of phosphate transport-related genes upon Cd treatment seems to be the bacterial response to Cd-induced phosphate depletion. Altogether, our findings suggest that these adaptive responses are critical mechanisms contributing to increased Cd tolerance in C. nantongensis E324 strain via the enhancement of metal-chelating and antioxidant capacities of the cells.
Project description:Four small RNA libraries from two contrasting sweet sorghum genotypes were sequenced. In this study, One hundred and ninety-five conserved miRNAs belonging to 56 families and 25 putative novel miRNAs from 28 precursors were identified, among which 38 conserved and 24 novel miRNAs were differentially expressed under Cd stress and/or between H18 and L69. Two groups of them: miR169p/q-nov_23 and miR408 were further focused through the coexpression analysis and might be involved in Cd transport, cytoskeleton activity and cell wall construction by regulating their targets. This study presents new insights into the regulatory roles of miRNAs in Cd accumulation and tolerance in sweet sorghum and will help to develop high-Cd accumulation or high Cd-resistant germplasm of sweet sorghum through molecular breeding and/or genetic engineering approaches.
Project description:Secretory IgA (SIgA) is critical for maintaining the intestinal barrier. A dysregulated B-cell compartment and altered Ig secretion have been well documented in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients, although their origin is unknown. To unravel the role of mucosal humoral immunity in CD pathogenesis, we in-depth phenotype colonic plasma cell (PC) differentiation in CD at the single-cell level, linked to ex vivo functional characterization and experimental mouse models with a congenital mitochondrial defect or under glucose-free high-protein dietary intervention. Here, we demonstrate that despite expanded colonic B cells, CD patients in remission present significantly diminished mucosal dimeric IgA and fecal SIgA. Colonic plasmablasts and immature CD19+CD45+ PCs are increased at the expense of the mature CD19-CD45- phenotype. Accordingly, CD-derived ex vivo differentiated PCs display impaired maturation into dimeric IgA-secreting PCs. In this study, patient-derived data from colonic RNA-seq, spatial single-cell proteomics, and plasma metabolomics are combined with data from both mouse models and highlight the crucial role of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in colonic IgA+-PC differentiation, suggesting promising directions for future therapeutic strategies.
