RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) characterized by immune escape is the most malignant primary brain tumors, which has strong immunosuppressive effect. Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is a recognized immunosuppressive member on the surface of tumor cells, and plays a crucial role in immune evasion of tumors. Actually, little is known about the regulation of PD-L1 expression in GBM. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) is upregulated in GBM and is related to poor patient prognosis. However, it remains unclear whether IGFBP3 plays a role in the regulation of PD-L1 expression in GBM. METHODS: The role of IGFBP3 in the glioma immune microenvironment was investigated using the CIBERSORT algorithm. The correlation between IGFBP3 and PD-L1 expression was analyzed using TCGA and CGGA databases. QRT-PCR, immunoblotting and RNA-seq were used to examine the regulatory effect of IGFBP3 on PD-L1 expression. Co-culture assay, cell counting kit (CCK-8), qRT-PCR, ELISA and flow cytometry were performed to explore the function of IGFBP3 in inducing immunosuppression. The biological role of IGFBP3 was verified using immunohistochemical, immunofluorescence and mice orthotopic tumor model. RESULTS: In this study, we analyzed immune cells infiltration in gliomas and found that IGFBP3 may be associated with an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Then, by analyzing TCGA and CGGA databases, our results showed that IGFBP3 and PD-L1 expression were positively correlated in GBM patients, but not in LGG patients. In vitro experiments conducted on different GBM cell lines revealed that the overexpression of IGFBP3 led to an increase in PD-L1 expression, which was reversible upon knockdown IGFBP3. Mechanistically, IGFBP3 activated the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, leading to an increase in PD-L1 expression. Additionally, co-culture experiments results showed IGFBP3 overexpression induced upregulation of PD-L1 expression promoted apoptosis in Jurkat cells, and this effect was blocked by IGFBP3 antibody and PDL-1 inhibitors. Importantly, in vivo experiments targeting IGFBP3 suppressed tumor growth and significantly prolonged the survival of mice. CONCLUSIONS: This research demonstrated IGFBP3 is a novel regulator for PD-L1 expression in GBM, and identified a new mechanism by which IGFBP3 regulates immune evasion through PD-L1, suggesting that IGFBP3 may be a potential novel target for GBM therapy.
RESUMEN
Chloroflexi members are ubiquitous and have been extensively studied; however, the evolution and metabolic pathways of Chloroflexi members have long been debated. In the present study, the evolution and the metabolic potentials of 17 newly obtained Chloroflexi metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were evaluated using genome and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) analysis. Taxonomic analysis suggests that the MAGs of the present study might be novel. One MAG encodes genes for anoxygenic phototrophy. The HGT analysis suggest that genes responsible for anoxygenic phototrophy in the MAG might have been transferred from Proteobacteria/Chlorobi. The evolution of anaerobic photosynthesis, which has long been questioned, has now been shown to be the result of HGT events. An incomplete Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (with missing genes metF, acsE, fdh, and acsA) was reported in Dehalococcoidetes members. In the present study, MAGs that were not the Dehalococcoidetes members encode genes acsA, acsB, metF and acsE. The genes responsible for sulfate reduction (sat, cysC and sir), dissimilatory sulfite reductase (dsrA and dsrB), and aerobic and anaerobic carbon monoxide oxidation (coxSML and cooSF) were detected in the present study MAGs. The present study expands our knowledge of the possible metabolic potentials of the phylum Chloroflexi and clarifies the evolution of anaerobic photosynthesis.

Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch is a widely cultivated traditional Chinese medicine plant. In the present study, culture-independent microbial diversity analysis and functional prediction of rhizosphere microbes associated with wild and cultivated G. uralensis Fisch plant (collected from two locations) were carried. Soil physicochemical parameters were tested to assess their impact on microbial communities. A total of 4428 OTUs belonging to 41 bacterial phyla were identified. In general, cultivated sample sites were dominated by Actinobacteria whereas wild sample sites were dominated by Proteobacteria. The alpha diversity analysis showed the observed species number was higher in cultivated soil samples when compared with wild soil samples. In beta diversity analysis, it was noticed that the weighted-unifrac distance of two cultivated samples was closer although the samples were collected from different regions. Functional annotation based on PICRUST and FAPROTAX showed that the nitrogen metabolism pathway such as nitrate reduction, nitrogen fixation, nitrite ammonification, and nitrite respiration were more abundant in rhizosphere microorganisms of wild G. uralensis Fisch. These results also correlate in redundancy analysis results which show correlation between NO3--N and wild samples, which indicated that nitrogen nutrition conditions might be related to the quality of G. uralensis Fisch.

A Gram-positive strain APA H-16(1)T was isolated from a saline-alkali soil sample collected from Heilongjiang Province, China. Cells were rod shaped, non-motile, endospore forming, and aerobic. Growth occurred at 10-45 °C (optimum, 35 °C), pH 7.0-10.5 (optimum, pH 9.5), and could tolerate NaCl up to 15.0% (w/v). Strain showed low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Alteribacter natronophilus (97.8%), Alteribacter aurantiacus (97.7%), and Alteribacter populi (97.1%). The cell wall peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminophospholipids, unidentified phospholipid, and unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0, and iso-C15:0. The genomic G + C content was 45.1%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain APA H-16(1)T and the most closely related species were below the cut-off level (95-96%; 70%) for species delineation. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and genome comparison, strain APA H-16(1)T represents a novel species of the genus Alteribacter, for which the name Alteribacter salitolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is APA H-16(1)T (= KCTC 43228T = CICC 25092T).

Strain DRQ-2T (type strain of Nonomuraea indica) is worthy for genome sequencing, due to its ability to produce a wide variety of industrially important enzymes such as amylase, asparaginase, cellulase, gelatinase, glutaminase, and protease. Genome sequencing and comparison of strain DRQ-2T is described in the present work. The genome size was estimated to be 8,288,417 (bp) that consisted of 59 contigs. The G + C content of the genome was 72.4%. A total of 7730 genes were predicted with two rRNAs and 64 tRNAs. The genome analysis of the strain DRQ-2T showed the presence of a wide range of secondary metabolite gene clusters. Pan-Genomes Analysis Pipeline (PGAP) indicated that strain DRQ-2T had large numbers of unique genes. The majority of N. indica DRQ-2T genes encode for hypothetical proteins, indicating the functions of these ortholog clusters were still remain to be determined.

Two Gram-positive, rod-shaped, motile, endospore-forming strains, SYSU K30003T and SYSU K30004T, were isolated from cave soil sampled in Xingyi County, Guizhou Province, south-west PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence results indicated that strains SYSU K30003T and SYSU K30004T had highest sequence similarities to Paenibacillus thermoaerophilus DSM 26310T (93.2â%) and Paenibacillus haemerocallicola KCTC 33185T (97.8â%), respectively. Optimum growth for both strains occurred at pH 7.0 and 37 °C. Both strains contained meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid in their cell-wall peptidoglycan and MK-7 was the only isoprenoid quinone detected. The polar lipid profile of strain SYSU K30004T consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two aminophospholipids, an unidentified glycolipid, unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified polar lipids. The polar lipid profile of strain SYSU K30003T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid. The major fatty acids (>5â%) of strain SYSU K30003T were anteiso-C15:0, C16â:â0, anteiso-C17â:â0 and iso-C16â:â0, while those of strain SYSU K30004T were anteiso-C15:0, C16:0, anteiso-C17â:â0, iso-C15â:â0, iso-C16:0 and iso-C17â:â0. The genome G+C contents of strains SYSU K30003T and SYSU K30004T were 59.0 and 53.6 mol%, respectively. The average nucleotide identity values between strains SYSU K30003T and SYSU K30004T and other closely related Paenibacillus members were below the cut-off level (95-96â%) for species identification. Based on the results of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genome analyses, strains SYSU K30003T and SYSU K30004T represent two novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the names Paenibacillus antri sp. nov. and Paenibacillus mesophilus sp. nov. are proposed.

The present study aimed to determine the taxonomic positions of strains designated R-5-52-3T, R-5-33-5-1-2, R-5-48-2 and R-5-51-4 isolated from hot spring water samples. Cells of these strains were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped. The strains shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Vulcaniibacterium thermophilum KCTC 32020T (95.1%). Growth occurred at 28-55 °C, at pH 6-8 and with up to 3â% (w/v) NaCl. DNA fingerprinting, biochemical, phylogenetic and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses suggested that R-5-52-3T, R-5-33-5-1-2, R-5-48-2 and R-5-51-4 were different strains but belonged to the same species. Hence, R-5-52-3T was chosen for further analysis and R-5-33-5-1-2, R-5-48-2 and R-5-51-4 were considered as additional strains of this species. R-5-52-3T possessed Q-8 as the only quinone and iso-C15:0, iso-C11:0, C16â:â0 and iso-C17â:â0 as major fatty acids. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified polar lipids and two unidentified phospholipids. The genomic G+C content was 71.6 mol%. Heat shock proteins (e.g. Hsp20, GroEL, DnaK and Clp ATPases) were noted in the R-5-52-3T genome, which could suggest its protection in the hot spring environment. Pan-genome analysis showed the number of singleton gene clusters among Vulcaniibacterium members varied. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between R-5-52-3T, Vulcaniibacterium tengchongense YIM 77520T and V. thermophilum KCTC 32020T were 80.1-85.8â%, which were below the cut-off level (95-96â%) recommended as the ANI criterion for interspecies identity. Thus, based on the above results, strain R-5-52-3T represents a novel species of the genus Vulcaniibacterium, for which the name Vulcaniibacterium gelatinicum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R-5-52-3T (=KCTC 72061T=CGMCC 1.16678T).

China is a hotspot for hot springs and during microbial diversity analysis of Tengchong hot spring, Yunnan province, south-west PR China, two strains designated SYSU G01001T and SY-13 were isolated. SYSU G01001T and SY-13 were Gram-stain-positive, motile and spore-forming. Colonies were white, circular, raised and punctiform. SYSU G01001T and SY-13 grew at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum pH 8.0) and at 23-37 °C (optimum 28 °C). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between SYSU G01001T and SY-13 was 99.6â% but these strains shared low sequence similarity with Paenibacillus azotifigens (97.5â%) indicating that they represented a novel species. On the basis of the results, SYSU G01001T was selected for further investigations and SY-13 was considered to represent a second strain of the species. The cell wall peptidoglycan of SYSU G01001T was meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid and MK-7 was the only respiratory quinone. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), two unidentified aminolipids (AL), two unidentified amino phospholipids (APL), an unidentified phospholipid (PL) and an unidentified polar lipid (L). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 53.9 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANIb and ANIm) values between SYSU G01001T and Paenibacillus azotifigens LMG 29963T were below the cut-off level (95-96â%) recommended as the average nucleotide identity (ANI) criterion for interspecies identity. On the basis of the above results strain SYSU G01001T represents a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus tepidiphilus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SYSU G01001T (=KCTC 33952T=CGMCC 1.13870T).

The group Nitriliruptoria, recently classified as a separate class of phylum Actinobacteria, has five members at present, which belong to halophilic or halotolerant Actinobacteria. Here, we sequenced the genomes of Egicoccus halophilus EGI 80432T and Egibacter rhizosphaerae EGI 80759T, and performed a comparative genomics approach to analyze the genomic differences and salt adaptation mechanisms in Nitriliruptoria. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Euzebya tangerina F10T has a closer phylogenetic relationship to Euzebya rosea DSW09T, while genomic analysis revealed highest genomic similarity with Nitriliruptor alkaliphilus ANL-iso2T and E. halophilus EGI 80432T. Genomic differences of Nitriliruptoria were mainly observed in genome size, gene contents, and the amounts of gene in per functional categories. Furthermore, our analysis also revealed that Nitriliruptoria possess similar synthesis systems of solutes, such as trehalose, glutamine, glutamate, and proline. On the other hand, each member of Nitriliruptoria species possesses specific mechanisms, K+ influx and efflux, betaine and ectoine synthesis, and compatible solutes transport to survive in various high-salt environments.

The present study was carried out to clarify the taxonomic relationship between two closely related Bacillus species, Bacillus okuhidensis Li et al. 2002 and Bacillus halodurans (ex Boyer 1973) Nielsen et al. 1995. The maximum-likelihood tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the phylogenomic tree based on concatenation of 16 protein-marker genes showed that these species were similar. Average nucleotide identity (ANIm 99.25â%, ANIb 98.2â%) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values (93.5â%) between B. okuhidensis DSM 13666T and B. halodurans DSM 497T were greater than the threshold values for bacterial species delineation, indicating that they belong to the same species. Therefore, B. okuhidensis Li et al. 2002 should be reclassified as a later heterotypic synonym of B. halodurans (ex Boyer 1973) Nielsen et al. 1995.

A novel endophytic bacterium, designated strain SZ4R5S7T, was isolated from surface-sterilized root of an endangered medicinal plant (Ferula songorica Pall. ex Spreng) collected from Xinjiang, north-west China. The taxonomic position of the strain was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. The strain was found to be aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive, short rods and non-motile. Strain SZ4R5S7T grew at 4-37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), pH 5.0-9.0 (pH 6.0-8.0) and in the presence of 0-4â% (w/v) NaCl. The polar lipids detected for strain SZ4R5S7T were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and two unidentified lipids. The predominant menaquinone of strain SZ4R5S7T was MK-8(H4), and the major fatty acids were iso-C16â:â0 and anteiso-C14â:â0. The DNA G+C content was determined to be 72.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain SZ4R5S7T belongs to the genus Nocardioides and showed highest levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to members of the strain Nocardioideskribbensis KSL-2T (97.8â%). On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SZ4R5S7T represents a novel species in the genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides ferulae sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is SZ4R5S7T (=CGMCC 4.7456T=KCTC 39994T).

A Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile strain, SYSUP0001T, was isolated from tubers of Gastrodia elata Blume. The 16S rRNA gene sequence result indicated that SYSUP0001T represents a member of the genus Sphingomonas, with the highest sequence similarity (97.7â%) to the type strain of Sphingomonasginsengisoli. SYSUP0001T grew at 14-37 °C and pH 6-8, with optimum growth at 28 °C and pH 7. Tolerance to NaCl was up to 3â% (w/v) with optimum growth in the absence of NaCl. The respiratory quinone was Q-10. The major fatty acids were C18â:â1ω7c, Summed feature 3 (C16â:â1ω7c/C16â:â1ω6c), and C16â:â0. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), sphingoglycolipid (SGL), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and four unidentified polar lipids (L). The DNA G+C content was 67.5â%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between SYSUP0001T and closely related members of the genus Sphingomonas were below the cut-off level (95-96â%) for species delineation. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characterizations, SYSUP0001T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas, for which the name Sphingomonasmesophila sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SYSUP0001T (=KCTC 62179 T=CGMCC 1.16462T).

A novel endophytic bacterium, designated strain SX2RGS8T, was isolated from the surface-sterilized roots of an endangered medicinal plant (Ferula sinkiangensis K. M. Shen) collected from Xinjiang, north-western PR China. The taxonomic position of the candidate was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Strain SX2RGS8T was found to be aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive and axiolitic-shaped. Strain SX2RGS8T grew at 4-45 °C (optimum, 28 °C), pH 4.0-10.0 (pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0-5â% (w/v) NaCl. The polar lipids detected for strain SX2RGS8T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, unidentified phosphoglycolipids, an unidentified phospholipid and unidentified lipids. The major respiratory quinone of strain SX2RGS8T was ubiquinone 10 and the major fatty acid was summed feature 8 (C18â:â1ω7c and/or C18â:â1ω6c). The DNA G+C content was determined to be 66.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the family Erythrobacteraceae and showed 99.2â% (Porphyrobacter mercurialis), 95.5â% (Porphyrobacter donghaensisi) and 95.4â% (Porphyrobacter colymbi) similarities to its closest relatives. The isolate contained carotenoids, but no bacteriochlorophyll a. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SX2RGS8T represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Erythrobacteraceae, for which the name Croceibacterium ferulae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SX2RGS8T (=CGMCC 1.16402T=KCTC 62090T). In addition, Porphyrobacter mercurialis Coil et al. 2016 is proposed to be transferred to this new genus as Croceibacterium mercuriale comb. nov.
