Influenza a Neuraminidase-Based Bivalent mRNA Vaccine Induces Th1-Type Immune Response and Provides Protective Effects in Mice.

Vaccines are one of the most effective means of preventing influenza A, typically containing the hemagglutinin (HA) of the influenza A virus. However, antigenic drift and shift of the influenza A virus can lead to instability in vaccine efficacy. Compared to HA, the antigenic variation rate of neuraminidase (NA) is slower. In traditional inactivated influenza vaccines, although they contain a certain amount of NA, there are significant differences between different batches, which cannot consistently induce NA-based immune responses. Therefore, NA is often overlooked in vaccine development. In this study, we report an mRNA vaccine encoding the NA of two strains of influenza A virus. The experimental results demonstrated that when matched with the viral strain, this mRNA vaccine induced high levels of neutralizing antibodies, providing a protective effect to mice in viral challenge experiments, and this immune response was shown to be biased towards the Th1 type. In summary, this study demonstrates that NA is a promising potential antigen, providing new insights for the development of influenza A virus vaccines.

Recent trends in design of healthier fat replacers: Type, replacement mechanism, sensory evaluation method and consumer acceptance.

In recent years, with the increasing awareness of consumers about the relationship between excessive fat intake and chronic diseases, such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, etc., the demand for low-fat foods has increased year by year. However, a simple reduction of fat content in food will cause changes in physical and chemical properties, physiological properties, and sensory properties of food. Therefore, developing high-quality fat replacers to replace natural fats has become an emerging trend, and it is still a technical challenge to completely simulate the special function of natural fat in low-fat foods. This review aims to provide an overview of development trends of fat replacers, and the different types of fat replacers, the potential fat replacement mechanisms, sensory evaluation methods, and their consumer acceptance are discussed and compared, which may provide a theoretical guidance to produce fat replacers and develop more healthy low-fat products favored by consumers.

Characteristics of hen egg white lysozyme, strategies to break through antibacterial limitation, and its application in food preservation: A review.

Hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) is used as a food additive in China due to its outstanding antibacterial properties. It is listed as GRAS grade (generally recognized as safe) by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA, US) and has been extensively researched and used in food preservation. And the industrial production of HEWL already been realized. Given the complex food system that can affect the antibacterial activity of HEWL, and the limitations of HEWL itself on Gram-negative bacteria. Based on the structure and main biological characteristics of HEWL, this paper focuses on reviewing methods to enhance the stability and antibacterial properties of HEWL. Immobilization tactics such as chemically driven self-assembly, embedding and adsorption address the restriction of poor HEWL antibacterial activity effected by external factors. Both intermolecular and intramolecular modification strategies break the bactericidal deficiencies of HEWL itself. It also comprehensively analyzes the current application status and future prospects of HEWL in the food preservation. There was limited research on the biological methods in modifying HEWL. If the HEWL is genetically engineered, it can broaden its antimicrobial spectrum, improve its other biological activities, so as to further expand its application in the food industry. At present, research on HEWL mainly focused on its antibacterial properties, whereas its application in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects also presented great potential.

Effects of different temperatures on the physicochemical characteristics, microstructure and protein structure of preserved egg yolk.

To clarify the mechanism of lower temperatures promoted the solidification of preserved egg yolk, the effects of temperature (4 °C, 10 °C and 25 °C) on the physicochemical properties, microstructure and protein structure of preserved egg yolk were studied. Results showed that the exterior egg yolk (EEY) exhibited higher pH, hardness and free sulfhydryl content at low-temperature pickling. The microstructure showed that the EEY gradually formed a denser gel network structure at lower temperatures. Electrophoresis results and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that there were different degrees of protein degradation and cross-linking of proteins in the IEY (the interior egg yolk) and EEY and the decrease of ß-sheets in the secondary structure was accompanied by an increase of ß-turns during the formation of egg yolk gels. These results indicated that egg yolk solidification was faster and denser gel structure at 4 °C and 10 °C.

Comparative key aroma compounds and sensory correlations of aromatic coconut water varieties: Insights from GC × GC-O-TOF-MS, E-nose, and sensory analysis.

Aroma is a key criterion in evaluating aromatic coconut water. A comparison regarding key aroma compounds and sensory correlations was made between Thailand Aromatic Green Dwarf (THD) and Cocos nucifera L. cv. Wenye No. 4 coconut water using E-nose and GC × GC-O-TOF-MS combined with chemometrics. Twenty-one volatile components of coconut water were identified by GC × GC-O-TOF-MS, and 5 key aroma compounds were analyzed by relative odor activity value and aroma extract dilution analysis. Moreover, the combination of the E-nose with orthogonal partial least squares was highly effective in discriminating between the two coconut water samples and screened the key sensors responsible for this differentiation. Additionally, the correlation between volatile compounds and sensory properties was established using partial least squares. The key aroma compounds of coconut water exhibited positive correlations with the corresponding sensory properties.

Mechanism of ultrasonic enhancement of the gelling properties of salted ovalbumin-cooked soybean isolate hybrid gels.

The influence of ultrasonic processing on the physicochemical characteristics, microstructure, and intermolecular forces of the hybrid gels obtained by heating the mixtures of different ratios of salted ovalbumin (SOVA)-cooked soybean protein isolate (CSPI) was investigated. With the growth of SOVA addition, ζ-potential in absolute value, cohesiveness, water-holding capacity (WHC), surface hydrophobicity, and the content of soluble protein of the hybrid gels decreased (P < 0.05), while the hardness, T2 relaxation time of the hybrid gels increased (P < 0.05). And the compactness of the network structure of the hybrid gel increased with the increase of SOVA addition. After being treated with ultrasound, significant increases (P < 0.05) of ζ-potential in absolute value, cohesiveness, WHC, and surface hydrophobicity of the hybrid gels were observed. In general, ultrasonic processing is one of the effective means to improve the gel properties of SOVA-CSPI hybrid gels.

Nondestructive identification and classification of starch types based on multispectral techniques coupled with chemometrics.

Starch is the main source of energy and nutrition. Therefore, some merchants often illegally add cheaper starches to other types of starches or package cheaper starches as higher priced starches to raise the price. In this study, 159 samples of commercially available wheat starch, potato starch, corn starch and sweet potato starch were selected for the identification and classification based on multispectral techniques, including near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR) and Raman spectroscopy combined with chemometrics, including pretreatment methods, characteristic wavelength selection methods and classification algorithms. The results indicate that all three spectral techniques can be used to discriminate starch types. The Raman spectroscopy demonstrated superior performance compared to that of NIR and MIR spectroscopy. The accuracy of the models after characteristic wavelength selection is generally superior to that of the full spectrum, and two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) achieves better model performance than other wavelength selection methods. Among the four classification methods, convolutional neural network (CNN) exhibited the best prediction performance, achieving accuracies of 99.74 %, 97.57 % and 98.65 % in NIR, MIR and Raman spectra, respectively, without pretreatment or characteristic wavelength selection.

The Effect of Ionic Strength on the Formation and Stability of Ovalbumin-Xanthan Gum Complex Emulsions.

Protein-polysaccharide complexes have been widely used to stabilize emulsions, but the effect of NaCl on ovalbumin-xanthan gum (OVA-XG) complex emulsions is unclear. Therefore, OVA-XG complex emulsions with different XG concentrations at pH 5.5 were prepared, and the effects of NaCl on them were explored. The results indicated that the NaCl significantly affected the interaction force between OVA-XG complexes. The NaCl improved the adsorption of proteins at the oil-water interface and significantly enhanced emulsion stability, and the droplet size and zeta potential of the emulsion gradually decreased with increasing NaCl concentrations (0-0.08 M). In particular, 0.08 M NaCl was added to the OVA-0.2% XG emulsion, which had a minimum droplet size of 18.3 µm. Additionally, XG as a stabilizer could improve the stability of the emulsions, and the OVA-0.3% XG emulsion also exhibited good stability, even without NaCl. This study further revealed the effects of NaCl on emulsions, which has positive implications for the application of egg white proteins in food processing.

Cell-Free Supernatant of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 90: A Clean Label Strategy to Improve the Shelf Life of Ground Beef Gel and Its Bacteriostatic Mechanism.

Lactic acid bacteria metabolites can be used as a clean-label strategy for meat products due to their "natural" and antibacterial properties. In this study, the feasibility of using cell-free supernatant of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 90 (LCFS) as a natural antibacterial agent in ground beef was investigated. The sensitivity of LCFS to pH, heat and protease, as well as the changes of enzyme activities of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and Na+/K+-ATP together with the morphology of indicator bacteria after LCFS treatment, were analyzed to further explore the antibacterial mechanism of LCFS. The results showed that the addition of 0.5% LCFS inhibited the growth of microorganisms in the ground beef gel and extended its shelf-life without affecting the pH, cooking loss, color and texture characteristics of the product. In addition, the antibacterial effect of LCFS was the result of the interaction of organic acids and protein antibacterial substances in destroying cell structures (cell membrane, etc.) to achieve the purpose of bacteriostasis. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of LCFS in meat products and a new clean-label strategy for the food industry.

Egg yolk phosphatidylcholine alleviates DSS-induced colitis in BALB/c mice.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common inflammatory bowel disease, whose incidence is on the rise worldwide. The drugs commonly used for UC are often associated with a number of side effects. Therefore, the development of effective, food-borne substances for UC is in line with the current needs. Egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) is one of the abundant lipids in egg yolk and possesses various biological activities. However, its protective effect against UC has not been clarified. In this study, the anti-UC activity of EYPC was investigated using a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis model of BALB/c mice. The results showed that EYPC supplementation inhibited DSS-induced colon shortening, the spleen index and disease activity index increase and intestinal structural damage. EYPC could down-regulate the levels of TNF-α, IL-1ß, IL-6 and MPO in the colon and restore the number of goblet cells and the level of tight junction (TJ) proteins. Besides, EYPC modulated the composition of the gut microbiota, lowered the relative abundance of the pathogenic bacterium Parabacteroides and upregulated the abundance of the beneficial bacteria Alistipes and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group. These results evidenced that EYPC could attenuate DSS-induced colitis in mice and had the potential to prevent and treat UC.

Base-Stacking-Driven Catalytic Hairpin Assembly: A Nucleic Acid Amplification Reaction Using Electrode Interface as a "Booster" for SARS-CoV-2 Point-of-Care Testing.

Electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) biosensors based on interface-mediated hybridization reactions are promising for point-of-care testing (POCT). However, the low efficiency of target recycle amplification and the steric hindrance at the electrode interface limit their sensing performance. Herein, we propose a base-stacking-driven catalytic hairpin assembly (BDCHA), a nucleic acid amplification reaction strategy, for POCT. The introduction of the base-stacking effect in this strategy increases the thermodynamic stability of the product, thereby effectively improving the recycling efficiency. Also, it enables the interface-mediated hybridization to maintain stability with even fewer bases in the reaction-binding domain, hence minimizing DNA secondary structure formation or intertwining at the electrode surface and ameliorating the steric hindrance limitation. The introduced base-stacking effect makes the electrode serve as a "booster" by integrating the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, giving BDCHA an increased reaction rate of about 20-fold, compared to the conventional catalytic hairpin assembly. As a proof of concept, our BDCHA was applied in constructing a portable E-DNA biosensor for the detection of a SARS-CoV-2 N gene sequence fragment. A simple 30 min one-pot incubation is required, and the results can be readily read on a smartphone, making it portable and user-friendly for POCT.

Immune persistence of an inactivated poliovirus vaccine derived from the Sabin strain: a 10-year follow-up of a phase 3 study.

Background: In a previous phase 3 clinical trial, we showed that an inactivated poliovirus vaccine derived from the Sabin strain (sIPV) can induce neutralising antibodies against currently circulating and reference wild poliovirus strains. However, the immune persistence of sIPV remains to be evaluated. Methods: In this study, 400 participants who were eligible for an early phase 3 clinical trial (Jan 1, 2012-Aug 31, 2014) in Pingle County, GuanXi Province, China, were initially involved in one site. Of the participants in the previous phase 3 clinical trial, sera of 287, 262, 237, and 207 participants were sampled at the ages of 4, 6, 8, and 10 years, respectively, after the prime-boost regimen. Neutralising antibodies against attenuated Sabin strains were detected using these serum samples to determine immune persistence. The serum neutralising antibodies titre of 1:8 against poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 is considered to be a seroprotection level for polio. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01510366. Findings: The protective rates against poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 in the sIPV group were all 100% at 10 years after the booster immunisation, compared with 98.1%, 100%, and 97.1%, respectively, in the wIPV control group after 10 years. After the booster at 18 months, the geometric mean titres (GMTs) of neutralising antibodies against poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 in the sIPV group were 13,265.6, 7856.7, and 6432.2, respectively, and the GMTs in the control group (inoculated with inactivated poliovirus vaccine derived from wild strain (wIPV)) were 3915.6, 2842.6, and 4982.7, respectively. With increasing time after booster immunisation, the GMTs of neutralising antibodies against poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 gradually decreased in both the sIPV and wIPV groups. At the age of ten years, the GMTs of neutralising antibodies against poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 in the sIPV group were 452.3, 392.8, and 347.5, respectively, and the GMTs in the wIPV group 108.5, 154.8, and 229.3, respectively, which were still at a higher-than-protective level (1:8). Interpretation: Both sIPV and wIPV maintained sufficiently high immune persistence against poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 for at least 10 years after booster immunisation.

Integrated Analysis of Metabolomics Combined with Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Reveals the Effects of Processing on Metabolites of Dendrobium officinale.

Dendrobium officinale (D. officinale) is a precious medicinal species of Dendrobium Orchidaceae, and the product obtained by hot processing is called "Fengdou". At present, the research on the processing quality of D. officinale mainly focuses on the chemical composition indicators such as polysaccharides and flavonoids content. However, the changes in metabolites during D. officinale processing are still unclear. In this study, the process was divided into two stages and three important conditions including fresh stems, semiproducts and "Fengdou" products. To investigate the effect of processing on metabolites of D. officinale in different processing stages, an approach of combining metabolomics with network pharmacology and molecular docking was employed. Through UPLC-MS/MS analysis, a total of 628 metabolites were detected, and 109 of them were identified as differential metabolites (VIP ≥ 1, |log2 (FC)| ≥ 1). Next, the differential metabolites were analyzed using the network pharmacology method, resulting in the selection of 29 differential metabolites as they have a potential pharmacological activity. Combining seven diseases, 14 key metabolites and nine important targets were screened by constructing a metabolite-target-disease network. The results showed that seven metabolites with potential anticoagulant, hypoglycemic and tumor-inhibiting activities increased in relative abundance in the "Fengdou" product. Molecular docking results indicated that seven metabolites may act on five important targets. In general, processing can increase the content of some active metabolites of D. officinale and improve its medicinal quality to a certain extent.

Screening of a new candidate coxsackievirus B1 vaccine strain based on its biological characteristics.

Coxsackievirus B1 (CVB1) is one of the significant pathogens causing viral myocarditis, hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), and aseptic meningitis, and it has been associated with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). No effective antiviral drugs against CVB1 infection or preventive vaccines are available. Due to the success of two inactivated vaccines against enterovirus 71 and poliovirus, an inactivated Vero cell-based CVB1 vaccine could be developed. In this study, we isolated a high-growth CVB1 virus strain KM7 in Vero cells and developed a Vero-adapted vaccine candidate strain KM7-X29 via three rounds of plaque purification and serial passages. The KM7-X29 strain was grouped into the GII sub-genotype, which belonged to the Chinese epidemic strain and grew to a titer of more than 107 CCID50/ml in Vero cells. The inactivated CVB1 vaccine produced by the KM7-X29 strain induced an effective neutralizing antibody response in BALB/c mice, and maternal antibodies were able to provide a 100% protective effect against lethal challenges with a CVB1 strain in suckling BALB/c mice. Thus, the KM7-X29 strain might be used as a new candidate coxsackievirus B1 vaccine strain. The neonatal murine model of CVB1 infection will contribute to the development of the CVB1 vaccine.

Nanozyme-Integrated Thermoresponsive In Situ Forming Hydrogel Enhances Mesenchymal Stem Cell Viability and Paracrine Effect for Efficient Spinal Cord Repair.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the hostile microenvironment of SCI, which can adversely affect the survival and paracrine effect of the implanted MSCs, severely limits the therapeutic efficacy of this approach. Here, we report on a ceria nanozyme-integrated thermoresponsive in situ forming hydrogel (CeNZ-gel) that can enable dual enhancement of MSC viability and paracrine effect, leading to highly efficient spinal cord repair. The sol-gel transition property of the CeNZ-gel at body temperature ensures uniform coverage of the hydrogel in injured spinal cord tissues. Our results demonstrate that the CeNZ-gel significantly increases the viability of transplanted MSCs in the microenvironment by attenuating oxidative stress and, more importantly, promotes the secretion of angiogenic factors from MSCs by inducing autophagy of MSCs. The synergy between the oxidative stress-relieving effect of CeNZs and the paracrine effect of MSCs accelerates angiogenesis, nerve repair, and motor function recovery after SCI, providing an efficient strategy for MSC-based SCI therapy.

Coxsackievirus B: The important agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common pediatric infectious illness caused by enteroviruses (EVs). EV-A serotypes are the main pathogens associated with HFMD. In this study, 213 stool samples from 213 children with severe HFMD in Yunnan, China in 2013, 2015, and 2016 were further analyzed retrospectively for EV-B infection. A total of 70.0% of the specimens tested positive for EV.20 EV serotypes were detected. The predominant serotype was enterovirus A71 (EV-A71, 27.7%), followed by coxsackievirus B4 (CV-B4, 16.4%), CV-A16 (9.9%), CV-B5 (6.6%), and Echovirus 9 (E-9,4.7%). EV-A and EV-B accounted for 45.1% and 41.3%, respectively. Among the positive specimens, 28.6% were CV-Bs. Co-infection was present in 19.3% of these cases. In the study, CV-B5 and the majority of CV-B4 isolates belonged to genotypes VI and C3, respectively. This result indicates that EV-B, especially CV-Bs, might be the important agents associated with HFMD and this knowledge will contribute to the prevention and treatment of the disease.

An Enzymatic Antibiotic Adjuvant Modulates the Infectious Microenvironment to Overcome Antimicrobial Resistance of Pathogens.

The emergence and evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose a significant challenge to the current arsenal to fight infection. Antibiotic adjuvants represent an appealing tactic for tackling the AMR of pathogens, however, their practical applications are greatly constrained by the harsh infectious microenvironment. Herein, it is found that silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) can possess tunable enzymatic activities to modulate infectious microenvironments. Based on this finding, an enzymatic nanoadjuvant (EnzNA) self-assembled from Ag NCs, which is inert under neutral physiological conditions but can readily disassemble into isolated Ag NCs exhibiting biofilm destructive oxidase-mimetic activity in the acidic biofilm microenvironment, is developed. Once internalized into the neutral cytoplasm of bacteria, Ag NCs switch to reveal the thiol oxidase-mimetic activity to suppress ribosomal biogenesis for AMR reversal and evolution inhibition of pathogens. Consequently, EnzNAs revitalize various existing antibiotics against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and potentiate the antibiotic efficacy against biofilm-mediated skin infection and lethal lung infection in mice. These findings highlight the capability of enzyme-mimetic nanomaterials to modulate the infectious microenvironment and potentiate antibiotics, providing a paradigm shift for anti-infection therapy.

Gel properties of okara dietary fiber-fortified soy protein isolate gel with/without NaCl.

BACKGROUND: Soy protein isolate (SPI) is widely used as an alternative to animal-based protein, and its gelling property is essential for producing plant protein-based foods. Insoluble dietary fiber has been used to improve the properties of protein gels. RESULTS: Effects of partial replacement of SPI by okara dietary fiber (ODF) on the gelling properties of ODF-fortified SPI gels with and without 0.1 m NaCl were investigated. The presence of ODF hindered the SPI self-aggregation and reduced the surface hydrophobicity of SPI. The presence of ODF reduced the hydrophobic interaction and improved the proportion of disulfide bonds in the gels. In the microstructure, the swollen ODF promoted the local aggregation of SPI at 0.1 m NaCl. Texture profile analysis showed that 5% and 10% ODF improved the SPI gel hardness in the absence of NaCl, whereas only 5% ODF improved the gel hardness at 0.1 m NaCl. The results of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance imaging revealed that ODF shortened the T2 relaxation time of the free water in the gel. The gel of ODF-10 had the highest storage modulus. CONCLUSION: Using an appropriate amount of ODF to replace SPI could improve the quality of SPI gel and increase the dietary fiber content in the product. In addition, the appropriate ratio of ODF/SPI varied in different solution environments. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Influence of soybean dietary fiber with varying particle sizes and transglutaminase on soy protein isolate gel.

In this study, soybean dietary fiber (DF) was used as nutritional supplement and gel enhancer in soy protein isolate (SPI) gels. The effects of DF particle sizes (100-mesh, DF100; 200-mesh, DF200), DF content and transglutaminase (TGase) addition on the gel properties of DF-enriched soy protein isolate (DSPI) gels were studied. The results showed that 10 % DF100 was beneficial for improving gel hardness (from 137.61 to 148.86 g), but caused the declined gel cohesiveness (from 0.87 to 0.80). with the use of 10 % DF200, the gel cohesiveness was improved from 0.80 to 0.83. However, the water holding capacity of DSPI gels containing DF200 was poor and the ionic and hydrogen bonds were reduced. When 20 % DF100 was added, the overall gel quality decreased. The effect of TGase depended on situations. When DF was well wrapped, the addition of TGase improved the textural property and the ß-turn proportion (from 40.22 % to 42.88 %) of DSPI gels owing to the enhanced protein cross-linking. While when SPI was separated by excessive amount of DF, the addition of TGase caused the deteriorated gel properties because TGase-induced local protein aggregation destroyed the gel continuousness. This research will guide the rational application of DF in gel products.

Sensitive fluorescent detection of exosomal microRNA based on enzymes-assisted dual-signal amplification.

The analysis of microRNAs (miRNAs) in exosomes offers significant information for a rapid and non-invasive diagnosis of cancer. However, the clinical utility of miRNAs as biomarkers is often hampered by their low abundance in exosomes. Herein, we develop a dual-signal amplification biosensor for the sensitive detection of exosomal miRNA-21 (miR-21). In the presence of a cognate target, it hybridizes with a biotin-modified capture probe (Cp) to form a DNA-RNA heteroduplex that serves as a substrate for duplex-specific nuclease (DSN). With the assistance of DSN, the Cps are enzymatically hydrolyzed and numerous DNA catalysts are released, leading to the first signal amplification. After magnetic isolation, the DNA catalyst remaining in the supernatant triggers a strand displacement reaction based on the nicking-assisted reactant recycling strategy, without depleting the reactants, to implement the second signal amplification. Using this dual-signal amplification concept, our biosensor achieves a limit of detection of miR-21 of 0.34 fM, with a linear range of 0.5-100 fM. The receiver operating characteristic curve generated during clinical sample analysis indicates that the exosomal miR-21 outperforms serum carcinoembryonic antigen in discriminating between patients with gastric cancer (GC) and patients with precancerous (PC) lesions (area under the curve: 0.89 versus 0.74, n = 40). Moreover, the proposed biosensor exhibits an 83.9% accuracy in classifying patients with GC or PC lesions and healthy donors using a confusion matrix. Furthermore, patients with GC with or without metastases are discriminated using the proposed biosensor. Our technology may expand the applications of DNA-based biosensor-enabled cancer diagnostic tools.
