RESUMO

Dollar spot, a highly destructive turfgrasses disease worldwide, is caused by multiple species within the genus Clarireedia. Previous research indicated varying sensitivity to boscalid among Clarireedia populations not historically exposed to succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs). This study confirms that the differential sensitivity pattern is inherent among different Clarireedia spp., utilizing a combination of phylogenetic analyses, in vitro cross-resistance assays, and genetic transformation of target genes with different mutations. Furthermore, greenhouse inoculation experiments revealed that the differential boscalid sensitivity did not lead to pathogenicity issues or fitness penalties, thereby not resulting in control failure by boscalid. This research underscores the importance of continuous monitoring of fungicide sensitivity trends and highlights the complexity of chemical control of dollar spot due to the inherent variability in fungicide sensitivity among different Clarireedia spp.

RESUMO

The destructive disease gray leaf spot, caused by Stemphylium solani, is prevalent in tomato plants in China. A variety of fungicides have been extensively used for controlling the disease, with a particular focus on succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) and quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs). However, there was a lack of information regarding the resistance of S. solani to boscalid (SDHI) and pyraclostrobin (QoI) in China. In this study, the sensitivity of S. solani to boscalid and pyraclostrobin was monitored. The EC50 values for boscalid ranged from 0.02 to 3.0 µg∙mL-1, with an average value of 0.62 µg∙mL-1, while the EC50 values for pyraclostrobin ranged from 0.21 to 14.71 µg∙mL-1, with an average value of 6.03 µg∙mL-1. Based on these findings, the frequencies of observed resistance were as follows: 36.7% for boscalid and 50% for pyraclostrobin; while the resistance frequency to both boscalid and pyraclostrobin in S. solani was 19.4%. The mutation associated with boscalid resistance in S. solani within tomato fields was identified as SdhB-H277Y, while the mutation related to pyraclostrobin resistance was found in cytochrome b, specifically Cytb-G143A. The resistant mutants displayed diminished fitness in terms of mycelial growth, yet their pathogenicity exhibited no significant disparities. To delay the development of resistance, it is advisable to employ a rotation strategy using alternative fungicides with different modes of action or mix with fungicides with multi-site-contact activity for disease management.

RESUMO

Glaucoma is a blinding disease where the retinal ganglion cells and their axons degenerate. Degradation of axonal microtubules is thought to play a critical role in the pathogenesis, but the mechanism is unknown. Here we investigate whether microtubule disruption in glaucoma can be alleviated by metabolic rescue. The integrity of axonal microtubules and the morphology of the retinal nerve fibers were evaluated by second-harmonic generation microscopy in a mouse model of glaucoma, DBA/2J, which received a dietary supplement of nicotinamide (NAM) for reducing metabolic stress. It was compared with control DBA/2J, which did not receive NAM, and non-glaucomatous DBA/2J-Gpnmb+. We found that the morphology of the retinal nerve fibers, but not axonal microtubules, are significantly protected by NAM. The decoupling is analogous to microtubule deficit, a glaucoma pathology in which axonal microtubules exhibit rapid degradation compared to the morphology of the retinal nerve fibers. Understanding microtubule deficit could provide insights into the divergent responses to NAM. From co-registered images of second-harmonic generation and immunofluorescence, it was determined that microtubule deficit was not due to a shortage of tubulins. Furthermore, microtubule deficit colocalized with the sectors in which the retinal ganglion cells were disconnected from the brain, suggesting that microtubule disruption is associated with axonal transport deficit in glaucoma. Together, our data suggests significant role axonal microtubules play in glaucomatous degeneration, offering a new opportunity for neuroprotection.

RESUMO

In the presented clinical observation of complex therapy of severe combined trauma: severe brain contusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage, closed fracture of the occipital bone, closed compression fracture of ThVI-ThVIII vertebral bodies, contusion of the lungs and kidneys, blunt abdominal trauma and closed fracture of both bones of the right leg in lower third with displacement) in a teenager after an accident, the need for dynamic introscopic examination of the patient is shown for timely detection of abnormalities in the state of brain structures and correction of treatment up to surgical intervention. The effectiveness of the inclusion of Cytoflavin in complex treatment regimens was noted in the form of positive dynamics of the clinical and introscopic picture. The results obtained may serve as a basis for further research.

RESUMO

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury exacerbates cellular damage upon restoring blood flow to ischemic cardiac tissue, causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. This study investigates Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), for its cardioprotective effects. Administering NR to mice before I/R injury and evaluating heart function via echocardiography showed that NR significantly improved heart function, increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (FS), and reduced left ventricular end-diastolic (LVDd) and end-systolic diameters (LVSd). NR also restored E/A and E/e' ratios. It reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro, inhibiting elevated caspase-3 activity and returning Bax protein levels to normal. In vitro, NR reduced the apoptotic rate in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-treated HL-1 cells from 30% to 10%. Mechanistically, NR modulated the SIRT3/mtROS/JNK pathway, reversing H2O2-induced SIRT3 downregulation, reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), and inhibiting JNK activation. Using SIRT3-knockout (SIRT3-KO) mice, we confirmed that NR's cardioprotective effects depend on SIRT3. Echocardiography showed that NR's benefits were abrogated in SIRT3-KO mice. In conclusion, NR provides significant cardioprotection against myocardial I/R injury by enhancing NAD+ levels and modulating the SIRT3/mtROS/JNK pathway, suggesting its potential as a novel therapeutic agent for ischemic heart diseases, meriting further clinical research.

RESUMO

Cellular NAD+ is continuously degraded and synthesized under resting conditions. In mammals, NAD+ synthesis is primarily initiated from nicotinamide (Nam) by Nam phosphoribosyltransferase, whereas poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and 2 (PARP2), sirtuin1 (SIRT1), CD38, and sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 (SARM1) are involved in NAD+ breakdown. Using flux analysis with 2H-labeled Nam, we found that when mammalian cells were cultured in the absence of Nam, cellular NAD+ levels were maintained and NAD+ breakdown was completely suppressed. In the presence of Nam, the rate of NAD+ breakdown (RB) did not significantly change upon PARP1, PARP2, SIRT1, or SARM1 deletion, whereas stable expression of CD38 did not increase RB. However, RB in PARP1-deleted cells was much higher compared with that in wild-type cells, in which PARP1 activity was blocked with a selective inhibitor. In contrast, RB in CD38-overexpressing cells in the presence of a specific CD38 inhibitor was much lower compared with that in control cells. The results indicate that PARP1 deletion upregulates the activity of other NADases, whereas CD38 expression downregulates the activity of endogenous NADases, including PARP1 and PARP2. The rate of cellular NAD+ breakdown and the resulting NAD+ concentration may be maintained at a constant level, despite changes in the NAD+-degrading enzyme expression, through the compensatory regulation of NADase activity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: ß-nicotinamide mononucleotide stands out as an essential breakthrough in "anti-aging" and consistently leads the list of top-selling nutritional supplements in terms of quantity. As the metabolites of ß-nicotinamide mononucleotide, the detection of nicotinamide and N1-methylnicotinamide is of great significance for evaluating the nutritional effect of dietary supplements of ß-nicotinamide mononucleotide. However, due to the extremely low concentration of nicotinamide and N1-methylnicotinamide in vivo and the serious matrix interference in biological samples, there is an increasing demand for materials and methods of pre-treatment. RESULTS: In this study, Fe3O4@hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose@dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid magnetic fluid was synthesized for the first time, and it was used as pretreatment material to detect nicotinamide and N1- methylnicotinamide in urine samples by high performance liquid chromatography. Compared with other adsorption materials, Fe3O4@hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose@dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid nanoparticles are a kind of uniform magnetic fluid. Furthermore, they have more types and quantities of interaction sites (electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding interactions, and π-π interactions), so they own greater adsorption capacity. When the pH of the solution is 4, they can be adsorbed quickly within 10 s. The method successfully detected trace nicotinamide and N1-methylnicotinamide in urine samples in the linear range of 0.1-80 µg mL-1, the low detection limits were 0.30 ng mL-1 and 1.5 ng mL-1 respectively, and the quantification limits were 1.0 ng mL-1 and 5.0 ng mL-1, respectively. At the same time, the standard urine samples of nicotinamide and N1-methylnicotinamide showed satisfactory recovery rate 94.50-109.1 %. The results indicated that the established method can accurately and quantitatively determine trace nicotinamide and N1-methylnicotinamide in urine samples. SIGNIFICANCE: Consequently, low concentration of ß-nicotinamide mononucleotide metabolites can be detected simultaneously, and the interference can be eliminated during the detection process, which provides an efficient and convenient pretreatment method and a rapid and sensitive detection method for the analysis of ß-nicotinamide mononucleotide metabolites. What's more, it has a wide application prospect in the analysis of other similar metabolites in biological samples.

RESUMO

Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), has robust cognitive benefits and alleviates neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) mouse models without decreasing beta-amyloid plaque pathology. Such effects may be mediated by the reactive species interactome (RSI), at the metabolome level. In this study, we employed in vitro and in vivo models of oxidative stress, aging and AD to profile the effects of NR on neuronal survival, RSI, and the whole proteome characterization of cortex and hippocampus. RSI analysis yielded a complex modulation upon NR treatment. We constructed protein co-expression networks and correlated them to NR treatment and all measured reactive species. We observed brain-area specific effects of NR on co-expressed protein modules of oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidation, and neurotransmitter regulation pathways, which correlated with RSI components. The current study contributes to the understanding of modulation of the metabolome, specifically after NR treatment in AD and how it may play disease-modifying roles.

RESUMO

Plant protection products (PPPs), which are frequently used in agriculture, can be major stressors for honeybees. They have been found abundantly in the beehive, particularly in pollen. Few studies have analysed effects on honeybee larvae, and little is known about effects of insecticide-fungicide-mixtures, although this is a highly realistic exposure scenario. We asked whether the combination of a frequently used insecticide and fungicides would affect developing bees. Honeybee larvae (Apis mellifera carnica) were reared in vitro on larval diets containing different PPPs at two concentrations, derived from residues found in pollen. We used the neonicotinoid acetamiprid, the combined fungicides boscalid/dimoxystrobin and the mixture of all three substances. Mortality was assessed at larval, pupal, and adult stages, and the size and weight of newly emerged bees were measured. The insecticide treatment in higher concentrations significantly reduced larval and adult survival. Interestingly, survival was not affected by the high concentrated insecticide-fungicides-mixture. However, negative synergistic effects on adult survival were caused by the low concentrated insecticide-fungicides-mixture, which had no effect when applied alone. The lower concentrated combined fungicides led to significantly lighter adult bees, although the survival was unaffected. Our results suggest that environmental relevant concentrations can be harmful to honeybees. To fully understand the interaction of different PPPs, more combinations and concentrations should be studied in social and solitary bees with possibly different sensitivities.

RESUMO

Freesia refracta (FR), a perennial flower of the Iris family (Iridaceae), is widely used in cosmetics despite limited scientific evidence of its skin benefits and chemical composition, particularly of FR callus extract (FCE). This study identified biologically active compounds in FCE and assessed their skin benefits, focusing on anti-aging. FR calli were cultured, extracted with water at 40 °C, and analyzed using Centrifugal Partition Chromatography (CPC), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and HCA, revealing key compounds, namely nicotinamide and pyroglutamic acid. FCE significantly increased collagen I production by 52% in normal and aged fibroblasts and enhanced fibroblast-collagen interaction by 37%. An in vivo study of 43 female volunteers demonstrated an 11.1% reduction in skin roughness and a 2.3-fold increase in collagen density after 28 days of cream application containing 3% FCE. Additionally, the preservation tests of cosmetics containing FCE confirmed their stability over 12 weeks. These results suggest that FCE offers substantial anti-aging benefits by enhancing collagen production and fibroblast-collagen interactions. These findings highlighted the potential of FCE in cosmetic applications, providing significant improvements in skin smoothness and overall appearance. This study fills a gap in the scientific literature regarding the skin benefits and chemical composition of FR callus extract, supporting its use in the development of effective cosmeceuticals.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have emerged as transformative tools in the field of radiation oncology, significantly advancing the precision of contouring practices. However, the adaptability of these algorithms across diverse scanners, institutions, and imaging protocols remains a considerable obstacle. This study aims to investigate the effects of incorporating institution-specific datasets into the training regimen of CNNs to assess their generalization ability in real-world clinical environments. Focusing on a data-centric analysis, the influence of varying multi- and single center training approaches on algorithm performance is conducted. METHODS: nnU-Net is trained using a dataset comprising 161 18F-PSMA-1007 PET images collected from four distinct institutions (Freiburg: n = 96, Munich: n = 19, Cyprus: n = 32, Dresden: n = 14). The dataset is partitioned such that data from each center are systematically excluded from training and used solely for testing to assess the model's generalizability and adaptability to data from unfamiliar sources. Performance is compared through a 5-Fold Cross-Validation, providing a detailed comparison between models trained on datasets from single centers to those trained on aggregated multi-center datasets. Dice Similarity Score, Hausdorff distance and volumetric analysis are used as primary evaluation metrics. RESULTS: The mixed training approach yielded a median DSC of 0.76 (IQR: 0.64-0.84) in a five-fold cross-validation, showing no significant differences (p = 0.18) compared to models trained with data exclusion from each center, which performed with a median DSC of 0.74 (IQR: 0.56-0.86). Significant performance improvements regarding multi-center training were observed for the Dresden cohort (multi-center median DSC 0.71, IQR: 0.58-0.80 vs. single-center 0.68, IQR: 0.50-0.80, p < 0.001) and Cyprus cohort (multi-center 0.74, IQR: 0.62-0.83 vs. single-center 0.72, IQR: 0.54-0.82, p < 0.01). While Munich and Freiburg also showed performance improvements with multi-center training, results showed no statistical significance (Munich: multi-center DSC 0.74, IQR: 0.60-0.80 vs. single-center 0.72, IQR: 0.59-0.82, p > 0.05; Freiburg: multi-center 0.78, IQR: 0.53-0.87 vs. single-center 0.71, IQR: 0.53-0.83, p = 0.23). CONCLUSION: CNNs trained for auto contouring intraprostatic GTV in 18F-PSMA-1007 PET on a diverse dataset from multiple centers mostly generalize well to unseen data from other centers. Training on a multicentric dataset can improve performance compared to training exclusively with a single-center dataset regarding intraprostatic 18F-PSMA-1007 PET GTV segmentation. The segmentation performance of the same CNN can vary depending on the dataset employed for training and testing.

RESUMO

A 75-year-old man underwent a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan with fluorine-18-prostate specific membrane antigen ([¹8F]F-PSMA-1007) for initial staging of prostate adenocarcinoma. The scan showed lung infiltrates predominantly in both lower lobes with moderate uptake, in addition to a bilateral pulmonary hilar lymph node uptake. CT images revealed ground-glass opacities and a reticular pattern, suggesting COVID-19 pneumonia, which was confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Similar incidental findings have been reported in patients undergoing PET/CT scans with other radiotracers. In this case, the probable lung angiogenesis linked to COVID-19 infection can be potencially demonstrated by [¹8F]F-PSMA-1007, which helps ensure timely diagnosis and appropriate care for cancer patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To screen biomarkers for forensic identification of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by non-targeted metabolomic studies on changes of urine metabolites in rats with AMI. METHODS: The rat models of the sham surgery group, AMI group and hyperlipidemia + acute myocardial infarction (HAMI) group were established. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) was used to analyze the changes of urine metabolic spectrometry in AMI rats. Principal component analysis, partial least squares-discriminant analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were used to screen differential metabolites. The MetaboAnalyst database was used to analyze the metabolic pathway enrichment and access the predictive ability of differential metabolites. RESULTS: A total of 40 and 61 differential metabolites associated with AMI and HAMI were screened, respectively. Among them, 22 metabolites were common in both rat models. These small metabolites were mainly concentrated in the niacin and nicotinamide metabolic pathways. Within the 95% confidence interval, the area under the curve (AUC) values of receiver operator characteristic curve for N8-acetylspermidine, 3-methylhistamine, and thymine were greater than 0.95. CONCLUSIONS: N8-acetylspermidine, 3-methylhistamine, and thymine can be used as potential biomarkers for AMI diagnosis, and abnormal metabolism in niacin and nicotinamide may be the main causes of AMI. This study can provide reference for the mechanism and causes of AMI identification.

RESUMO

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a global health concern, lacking specific therapeutic strategies. Time-restricted feeding (TRF) regimen demonstrated beneficial effects in NAFLD; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we established a NAFLD mouse model through a high-fat diet (HFD) and implemented the 16:8 TRF regimen for a duration of 6 weeks. We demonstrated that TRF remarkably alleviated hepatic steatosis in HFD mice. Of note, aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1), a key enzyme in hepatic nicotinamide (NAM) catabolism, exhibited apparent upregulation in response to HFD, leading to abnormal accumulation of N-Methyl-6-pyridone-3-carboxamide (N-Me-6-PY, also known as 2PY) and N-Methyl-4-pyridone-5-carboxamide (N-Me-4-PY, also known as 4PY), whereas it was almost restored by TRF. Both N-Me-6-PY and N-Me-4-PY promoted de novo lipogenesis and fatty acid uptake capacities in hepatocyte, and aggravated hepatic steatosis in mice either fed chow diet or HFD. In contrast, pharmacological inhibition of AOX1 was sufficient to ameliorate the hepatic steatosis and lipid metabolic dysregulation induced by HFD. Moreover, transplantation of fecal microbiota efficiently mimicked the modulatory effect of TRF on NAM metabolism, thus mitigating hepatic steatosis and lipid metabolic disturbance, suggesting a gut microbiota-dependent manner.

RESUMO

In the previous study, the culture medium was treated with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) under the hypothesis that NAD+ regeneration is a major factor causing excessive lactate accumulation in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The NAD+ treatment improved metabolism by not only reducing the Warburg effect but also enhancing oxidative phosphorylation, leading to enhanced antibody production. Building on this, four NAD+ precursors - nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), nicotinic acid (NA), nicotinamide riboside (NR), and nicotinamide (NAM) - were tested to elevate intracellular NAD+ levels more economically. First, the ability of CHO cells to utilize both the salvage and Preiss-Handler pathways for NAD+ biosynthesis was verified, and then the effect of NAD+ precursors on CHO cell cultures was evaluated. These precursors increased intracellular NAD+ levels by up to 70.6% compared to the non-treated group. Culture analysis confirmed that all the precursors induced metabolic changes and that NMN, NA, and NR improved productivity akin to NAD+ treatment, with comparable integral viable cell density. Despite the positive effects such as the increase in the specific productivity and changes in cellular glucose metabolism, none of the precursors surpassed direct NAD+ treatment in antibody titer, presumably due to the reduction in nucleoside availability, as evidenced by the decrease in ATP levels in the NAD+ precursor-treated groups. These results underscore the complexity of cellular metabolism as well as the necessity for further investigation to optimize NAD+ precursor treatment strategies, potentially with the supplementation of nucleoside precursors. Our findings suggest a feasible approach for improving CHO cell culture performances by using NAD+ precursors as medium and feed components for the biopharmaceutical production.

RESUMO

Nicotinamide is an important functional compound and, in the form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), is used as a co-factor by protein-based enzymes to catalyze redox reactions. In the context of the RNA world hypothesis, it is therefore reasonable to assume that ancestral ribozymes could have used co-factors such as NAD or its simpler analog nicotinamide riboside (NAR) to catalyze redox reactions. The only described example of such an engineered ribozyme uses a nicotinamide moiety bound to the ribozyme through non-covalent interactions. Covalent attachment of NAR to RNA could be advantageous, but the demonstration of such scenarios to date has suffered from the chemical instability of both NAR and its reduced form, NARH, making their use in oligonucleotide synthesis less straightforward. Here, we review the literature describing the chemical properties of the oxidized and reduced species of NAR, their synthesis, and previous attempts to incorporate either species into RNA. We discuss how to overcome the stability problem and succeed in generating RNA structures incorporating NAR.

RESUMO

Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial in initiating and shaping both innate and adaptive immune responses. Clinical studies and experimental models have highlighted their significant involvement in various autoimmune diseases, positioning them as promising therapeutic targets. Nicotinamide (NAM), a form of vitamin B3, with its anti-inflammatory properties, has been suggested, while the involvement of NAM in DCs regulation remains elusive. Here, through analyzing publicly available databases, we observe substantial alterations in NAM levels and NAM metabolic pathways during DCs activation. Furthermore, we discover that NAM, but not Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), significantly inhibits DCs over-activation in vitro and in vivo. The suppression of DCs hyperactivation effectively alleviates symptoms of psoriasis. Mechanistically, NAM impairs DCs activation through a Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs)-NF-κB dependent manner. Notably, phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) and PARPs are significantly upregulated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated DCs and psoriasis patients; elevated NAMPT and PARPs expression in psoriasis patients correlates with higher psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) scores. In summary, our findings underscore the pivotal role of NAM in modulating DCs functions and autoimmune disorders. Targeting the NAMPT-PARP axis emerges as a promising therapeutic approach for DC-related diseases.
