Exploration of yeast biodiversity and development of industrial applications / 生物工程学报

Yeast are comprised of diverse single-cell fungal species including budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and various nonconventional yeasts. Budding yeast is well known as an important industrial microorganism, which has been widely applied in various fields, such as biopharmaceutical and health industry, food, light industry and biofuels production. In the recent years, various yeast strains from different ecological environments have been isolated and characterized. Novel species have been continuously identified, and strains with diverse physiological characteristics such as stress resistance and production of bioactive compounds were selected, which proved abundant biodiversity of natural yeast resources. Genome mining of yeast strains, as well as multi-omics analyses (transcriptome, proteome and metabolome, etc.) can reveal diverse genetic diversity for strain engineering. The genetic resources including genes encoding various enzymes and regulatory proteins, promoters, and other elements, can be employed for development of robust strains. In addition to exploration of yeast natural diversity, phenotypes that are more suitable for industrial applications can be obtained by generation of a variety of genetic diversity through mutagenesis, laboratory adaptation, metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology design. The optimized genetic elements can be used to efficiently improve strain performance. Exploration of yeast biodiversity and genetic diversity can be employed to build efficient cell factories and produce biological enzymes, vaccines, various natural products as well as other valuable products. In this review, progress on yeast diversity is summarized, and the future prospects on efficient development and utilization of yeast biodiversity are proposed. The methods and schemes described in this review also provide a reference for exploration of diversity of other industrial microorganisms and development of efficient strains.

OBJECTIVE： To study the mechanism of analgesic effect of 8-O-acetyl-safalinoside （8-OaS） on chronic inflammatory pain model rats. METHODS ：Totally 30 male SD rats were divided into sham operation group （normal saline ）， model group （normal saline ），8-OaS low-dose ，medium-dose and high-dose groups （3，10，30 μg/kg），with 6 rats in each group. Except for sham operation group ，other groups were given planter injection of Freund ’s complete adjuvant to induce chronic inflammatory pain model. After successful modeling ，the rats in each group were given corresponding drugs intrathecally ，once a day，for 7 consecutive days. Then Von-Frey filaments were used to detect the planter pain threshold of the rats in each group ；the area under the planter pain threshold curve of each group and the half effective dose （ED50）of 8-OaS were calculated. Another 36 male SD rats were divided into sham operation group （normal saline ），model group （normal saline ）and 8-OaS group （dose of ED50），and the modeling method and administration route were the same as above. Immunofluorescence histochemical staining was used to observe the positive expression of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1（Iba-1）and signal molecule phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p-p38 MAPK）；Western blotting assay was used to determine the expression of Iba- 1，p-p38 MAPK，IL-1β，IL-6 and TNF-α in spinal dorsal horn of rats. RESULTS：Compared with sham operation group ，plantar pain threshold and area under the curve in model group were reduced significantly （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ，plantar pain threshold increased significantly after 5，6，7 days of administration in 8-OaS low-dose group （P＜0.05），plantar pain threshold and area under the curve in 8-OaS medium-dose and high-dose groups were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Most of above indexes in each dose group of 8-OaS were signifficantly different ，and ED 50 of 8-OaS was 18.87 μ g/kg. Results of immunohistochemistry staining and Western blotting showed that p-p 38 MAPK was mainly expressed in Iba- 1 positive cells. Compared with sham operation group ，the fluorescence density of Iba- 1 and p-p 38 MAPK in spinal dorsal horn ，the expression of Iba-1，p-p38 MAPK，IL-6，IL-1β and TNF-α were significantly increased in model group（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ，the fluorescence density of Iba- 1 and p-p 38 MAPK in spinal dorsal horn ，the expression of Iba- 1，p-p38 MAPK， IL-6，IL-1β and TNF-α were decreased significantly in 8-OaS group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Intrathecal administration of 8-OaS can effectively alleviate chronic inflammatory pain in rats. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the phosphorylation of p 38 MAPK and the expression of IL- 6，IL-1β and TNF-α.

OBJECTIVE： To study the effects of 8-O-acetyl-shanzhiside methylester （8-OaS） on the expression of histone deacetylase 1-5 （HDAC1-5） in the spinal dorsal horn of chronic inflammatory pain model rats， and its relationship with Janus-activated kinase 2-signal transductions and activators of transcription 3 （JAK2-STAT3） signaling pathway. METHODS： SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group， sham operation group （normal saline）， complete Freund’s adjuvant （CFA） group （normal saline）， 8-OaS low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （2， 20， 200 μg/kg）， with 6 rats in each group. Except for normal control group and sham operation group， chronic inflammatory pain model was induced by subcutaneous injection of CFA into the left hind toe of rats in other groups； after modeling， those groups were given relevant medicine intraperitoneally， once a day， for consecutive 7 d. Thermal radiation method was used to detect the latency of paw withdraw in rats on the 1st， 2nd， 3rd， 4th， 5th， 6th， 7th， 8th， 11th and 15th day of administration. Rats were grouped and given medicine according to the above method of the latter 5 groups. The protein expression of HDAC 1-5， phosphorylated JAK2 （pJAK2） and phosphorylated STAT3 （pSTAT3） in the spinal dorsal horn of lumbar enlargement segment in rats were detected by Western blot method after last medication. Rats were randomly divided into sham operation group （normal saline）， CFA group （normal saline）， 8-OaS group （20 μg/kg） and JAK2-STAT3 inhibtor AG490 group （8 mg/kg）， with 6 rats in each group； IP model was established by same method as above and then were given relevant medicine intraperitoneally， once a day， for consecutive 7 d. The expression of HDAC5 and glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP） in spinal dorsal horn of rats were detected by immunofluorescence histochemical staining. RESULTS： Compared with normal control group and sham operation group， the latency of paw withdraw was shortened significantly in other groups （P＜0.05）. Compared with CFA group， the latency of paw withdraw was prolonged significantly in 8-OaS low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （P＜0.05）， in dose-dependent manner. Compared with sham operation group， the protein expression of HDAC 1-5， pJAK2 and pSTAT3 in spinal dorsal horn of rats were increased significantly in CFA group （P＜0.05）. Compared with CFA group， the protein expression of HDAC5， pJAK2 and pSTAT3 in spinal dorsal horn of rats were decreased significantly in 8-OaS low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （P＜0.05）， but there was no statistical significance in the protein expression of HDAC 1-4 （P＞0.05）. HDAC5 was expressed on astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn； compared with sham operation group， the expression of GFAP and HDAC 5 were increased significantly in spinal dorsal horn of rats in CFA group （P＜0.05）. Compared with CFA group， the expression of GFAP and HDAC5 in spinal dorsal horn of rats were decreased significantly in 8-OaS group and AG490 group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS： 8-OaS can effectively relieve CFA-induced chronic inflammatory pain， the mechanism of which may be associated with the down-regulation of HDAC5 expression and the phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3.

Long-term effect of fully covered metal stents on benign bile duct stenosis / 中华消化内镜杂志

Objective To evaluate the long-term outcome of fully covered self-expandable metal stents(FCSEMS)for the treatment of benign biliary strictures(BBS). Methods Between June 2008 and September 2013, 68 patients with BBS receiving endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and FCSEMS placement were retrospectively enrolled. Data of endoscopic treatment, stricture resolution and recurrence were collected, and related risk factors were analyzed. Results FCSEMSs were successfully placed in all patients and removed in 93.4%(57/61). The median stent duration was 9.0(range 0.2-37.1)months. Stricture resolution occurred in 74.2%(46/62)patients. During median follow-up of 54.0 (range 2.5-96.0)months,stricture recurrences were seen in 16.7%(6/36)patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that distance between stricture and hepatic bifurcation of less than 1.5 cm(P=0.034,OR=6.395, 95%CI:1.153-35.464), and stent migration(P= 0.024, OR= 0.153, 95%CI:0.030-0.782)were significant risk factors for stricture resolution. Meanwhile, the stricture length longer than 1.0 cm(P=0.028, HR = 6.766, 95% CI:1.233-37.122)was a significant risk factor for stricture recurrence. Conclusion Endoscopic treatment combined with FCSEMS can achieve excellent efficacy in resolving BBS with low recurrence rate. However, location and length of BBS, as well as stent migration may impair its effectiveness.
