RESUMEN
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is one of the most significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in living cells. Zn2+ in living cells plays an essential part in different physiological processes. The abnormal concentration of ONOO- and Zn2+ in living cells are related to many kinds of diseases, such as anemia, epilepsy, diarrhea, Alzheimer's disease, and so on. The relationship of ONOO- and Zn2+ in living cells when the relative disease occurs remains unknown. So we develop the first probe H-1 for detecting ONOO- and Zn2+ at the same time. The probe H-1 shows high selectivity, good anti-interference capability, low detection limit and short response time to ONOO- and Zn2+. When the probe was applied to detect ONOO- and Zn2+ in HeLa cells, we could observe the fluorescence changing in the green and blue channels separately without interference in real time. It has the potential to employ the relation of ONOO- and Zn2+ in some disease mechanism research.

Background: Several studies have pointed to the critical role of gut microbiota (GM) and their metabolites in Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) pathogenesis. However, the detailed causal relationship between GM and HSCR remains unknown. Methods: In this study, we used two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationship between GM and HSCR, based on the MiBioGen Consortium's genome-wide association study (GWAS) and the GWAS Catalog's HSCR data. Reverse MR analysis was performed subsequently, and the sensitivity analysis, Cochran's Q-test, MR pleiotropy residual sum, outlier (MR-PRESSO), and the MR-Egger intercept were used to analyze heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. 16S rDNA sequencing and targeted mass spectrometry were developed for initial validation. Results: In the forward MR analysis, inverse-variance weighted (IVW) estimates suggested that Eggerthella (OR: 2.66, 95%CI: 1.23-5.74, p = 0.01) was a risk factor for HSCR, while Peptococcus (OR: 0.37, 95%CI: 0.18-0.73, p = 0.004), Ruminococcus2 (OR: 0.32, 95%CI: 0.11-0.91, p = 0.03), Clostridiaceae1 (OR: 0.22, 95%CI: 0.06-0.78, p = 0.02), Mollicutes RF9 (OR: 0.27, 95%CI: 0.09-0.8, p = 0.02), Ruminococcaceae (OR: 0.16, 95%CI: 0.04-0.66, p = 0.01), and Paraprevotella (OR: 0.45, 95%CI: 0.21-0.98, p = 0.04) were protective factors for HSCR, which had no heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. However, reverse MR analysis showed that HSCR (OR: 1.02, 95%CI: 1-1.03, p = 0.049) is the risk factor for Eggerthella. Furthermore, some of the above microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were altered in HSCR, showing a correlation. Conclusion: Our analysis established the relationship between specific GM and HSCR, identifying specific bacteria as protective or risk factors. Significant microbiota and SCFAs were altered in HSCR, underlining the importance of further study and providing new insights into the pathogenesis and treatment.
