Abstract
The pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) remains obscure. Recently, the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis's role in MDD has an increasing attention. However, the specific mechanism of the multi-level effects of gut microbiota on host metabolism, immunity, and brain structure is unclear. Multi-omics approaches based on the analysis of different body fluids and tissues using a variety of analytical platforms have the potential to provide a deeper understanding of MGB axis disorders. Therefore, the data of metagenomics, metabolomic, inflammatory factors, and MRI scanning are collected from the two groups including 24 drug-naïve MDD patients and 26 healthy controls (HCs). Then, the correlation analysis is performed in all omics. The results confirmed that there are many markedly altered differences, such as elevated Actinobacteria abundance, plasma IL-1β concentration, lipid, vitamin, and carbohydrate metabolism disorder, and diminished grey matter volume (GMV) of inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) in the MDD patients. Notably, three kinds of discriminative bacteria, Ruminococcus bromii, Lactococcus chungangensis, and Streptococcus gallolyticus have an extensive correlation with metabolome, immunology, GMV, and clinical symptoms. All three microbiota are closely related to IL-1β and lipids (as an example, phosphoethanolamine (PEA)). Besides, Lactococcus chungangensis is negatively related to the GMV of left IFG. Overall, this study demonstrate that the effects of gut microbiome exert in MDD is multifactorial.

Abstract
Background Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are attractive nanomaterials for various biomedical applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and biomimetic properties. However, their immunoregulatory properties are insufficiently investigated, especially in relation to their functionalization, which could cause problems during their clinical application. Methods Using a model of human dendritic cells (DC), which have a central role in the regulation of immune response, we investigated how differentially functionalized CNF, ie, native (n) CNF, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl radical-oxidized (c) CNF, and 3-aminopropylphosphoric acid-functionalized (APAc) CNF, affect DC properties, their viability, morphology, differentiation and maturation potential, and the capacity to regulate T cell-mediated immune response. Results Nontoxic doses of APAcCNF displayed the strongest inhibitory effects on DC differentiation, maturation, and T helper (Th) 1 and Th17 polarization capacity, followed by cCNF and nCNF, respectively. These results correlated with a specific pattern of regulatory cytokines production by APAcCNF-DC and their increased capacity to induce suppressive CD8+CD25+IL-10+ regulatory T cells in immunoglobulin-like transcript (ILT)-3- and ILT-4- dependent manner. In contrast, nCNF-DC induced predominantly suppressive CD4+CD25hiFoxP3hi regulatory T cells in indolamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1-dependent manner. Different tolerogenic properties of CNF correlated with their size and APA functionalization, as well as with different expression of CD209 and actin bundles at the place of contact with CNF. Conclusion The capacity to induce different types of DC-mediated tolerogenic immune responses by functionalized CNF opens new perspectives for their application as well-tolerated nanomaterials in tissue engineering and novel platforms for the therapy of inflammatory T cell-mediated pathologies.

Abstract
AIM This study sought to characterize the plasma metabolite profiling of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). METHODS Psychiatric assessments were made with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders. In the exploratory cohort, plasma metabolite profiles of 34 MDD patients and 31 mentally healthy controls were compared using capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry. Among the candidate metabolites, we focused on a metabolite showing the largest difference. The absolute concentrations were measured in two cohorts from a psychiatric primary care clinic to characterize the accuracy of the metabolite biomarker. RESULTS Among 23 metabolites significantly lower in the MDD group than in healthy controls, we focused on phosphoethanolamine (PEA) as a candidate. The reduction of PEA levels in MDD was checked in independent clinical sample sets. An ion-chromatography-fluorescence detection method was developed to measure plasma PEA levels. In the preliminary cohort, we examined 34 MDD and 43 non-MDD subjects. The area under the receiver-operator curve (AUC) was 0.92, with sensitivity/specificity greater than 88%, at a cut-off of 1.46 μM. In the checking cohort, with 10 MDD and 13 non-MDD subjects, AUC was 0.89, with sensitivity/specificity of 86% and 100%, respectively, at a cut-off of 1.48 μM. Plasma PEA inversely correlated with MDD severity, depressed mood, loss of interest, and psychomotor retardation. CONCLUSION These results suggest that plasma PEA level could be a candidate biomarker of MDD in the clinical setting. Further studies comparing MDD and mentally healthy controls are needed to confirm the utility of PEA as a biomarker for depression.

Abstract
Red rice (Oryza sativa L.) that has a red (reddish brown) bran layer in de-hulled rice is known to contain rich biofunctional components. Germination is an effective technique to improve the nutritional quality, digestibility, and flavor of de-hulled rice. Ultrasonication, a form of physical stimulation, has been documented as a novel approach to improve the nutritional quality of plant-based food. This study was undertaken to test the use of ultrasound to enhance the nutritional value of red rice. Ultrasonication (5min, 16W/L) was applied to rice during soaking or after 66h germination. Changes of metabolites (amino acids, sugars, and organic acids) in red rice treated by ultrasonication were determined using a GC/MS plant primary metabolomics analysis platform. Differential expressed metabolites were identified through multivariate statistical analysis. Results showed that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and riboflavin (vitamin B2) in red rice significantly increased after germination for 72h, and then experienced a further increase after treatment by ultrasound at different stages during germination. The metabolomics analysis showed that some plant metabolites, i.e. GABA, O-phosphoethanolamine, and glucose-6-phosphate were significantly increased after the ultrasonic treatment (VIP>1.5) in comparison with the untreated germinated rice. The findings of this study showed that controlled germination with ultrasonic stress is an effective method to enhance GABA and other health-promoted components in de-hulled rice.

Abstract
L-Glutamate, a major excitatory amino acid, plays an important role in learning and memory. L-Glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles is an ATP-dependent process. Exposure of neurons to high, sustained extracellular concentrations of glutamate results in excitotoxicity. Elevated levels of phosphomonoesters (PMEs), phosphodiesters (PDEs), and phosphocreatine (PCr) have been reported in Alzheimer disease (AD). In this article, the effects of selected PMEs, PDEs, and PCr on vesicular L-[3H]glutamate uptake into isolated bovine synaptic vesicles are investigated. D-myo-Inositol-1-monophosphate (I1P), D-myo-inositol-2-monophosphate (I2P), sn-glycero-3-phosphate, (alpha-GP) and PCr significantly stimulated L-[3H]glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles. Phosphoethanolamine (PE), phosphocholine (PC), L-phosphoserine (L-PS) sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (GPC), and sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (GPE) had little or no effect on vesicular L-glutamate uptake. These observations suggested that the vesicular uptake of glutamate can be regulated by endogenous PMEs and PCr. The mechanism of activation by I1P, I2P, and alpha-GP appears to be stimulation of Mg(2+)-ATPase activity. These effects on vesicular glutamate uptake may be important in diseases in which the levels of these metabolites are altered, as they are in AD.
