RESUMO
Methane is a renewable biomass energy source produced via anaerobic digestion (AD). Interspecies electron transfer (IET) between methanogens and syntrophic bacteria is crucial for mitigating energy barriers in this process. Understanding IET is essential for enhancing the efficiency of syntrophic methanogenesis in anaerobic digestion. Interspecies electron transfer mechanisms include interspecies H2/formate transfer, direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET), and electron-shuttle-mediated transfer. This review summarizes the mechanisms, developments, and research gaps in IET pathways. Interspecies H2/formate transfer requires strict control of low H2 partial pressure and involves complex enzymatic reactions. In contrast, DIET enhances the electron transfer efficiency and process stability. Conductive materials and key microorganisms can be modulated to stimulate the DIET. Electron shuttles (ES) allow microorganisms to interact with extracellular electron acceptors without direct contact; however, their efficiency depends on various factors. Future studies should elucidate the key functional groups, metabolic pathways, and regulatory mechanisms of IET to guide the optimization of AD processes for efficient renewable energy production.

BACKGROUND: Drug resistance is an important constraint on clinical outcomes in advanced cancers. LAMP2A is a limiting protein in molecular chaperone-mediated autophagy. This study was aimed to explore LAMP2A function in cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum, DDP) resistance colorectal cancer (CRC) to seek new ideas for CRC clinical treatment. METHODS: In this study, LAMP2A expression was analyzed by molecular experimental techniques,such as qRT-PCR and western blot. Then, LAMP2A in cells was interfered by cell transfection experiments. Subsequently, the function of LAMP2A on proliferation, migration, invasion, DDP sensitivity, and autophagy of CRC/DDP cells were further investigated by a series of experiments, such as CCK-8, transwell, and western blot. RESULTS: We revealed that LAMP2A was clearly augmented in DDP-resistant CRC and was related to poor patient prognosis. Functionally, LAMP2A insertion remarkably CRC/DDP proliferation, migration, invasion ability and DDP resistance by strengthen autophagy. In contrast, LAMP2A knockdown limited the proliferation, migration, and invasion while heightened cellular sensitivity to DDP by restraining autophagy in CRC/DDP cells. Furthermore, LAMP2A silencing was able to curb tumor formation and enhance sensitivity to DDP in vivo. CONCLUSION: In summary, LAMP2A boosted malignant progression and DDP resistance in CRC/DDP cells through mediating autophagy. Clarifying LAMP2A function in DDP resistance is promising to seek cancer therapies biomarkers targeting LAMP2A activity.
