Dual promoter strategy enhances co-expression of α-L-rhamnosidase and enhanced fluorescent protein for whole-cell catalysis and bioresource valorization. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 722:137865. [PMID: 32192973 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.137865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2019] [Revised: 02/17/2020] [Accepted: 03/10/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Developing circular economy is the only way to improve the efficiency of resource utilization. Whole-cell catalysis is an effective method to recycle enzymes, improve catalytic efficiency, and reduce production costs. The enzyme, α-L-rhamnosidase has considerable application prospects in the field of biocatalysis as it can hydrolyze a variety of α-L rhamnoses. In the present study, the genes for α-L-rhamnosidase (rhaB1) and enhanced fluorescent protein (EGFP) were co-expressed using a bi-promoter expression vector pRSFDuet1 and their enzymatic properties were evaluated. To our knowledge, this study has established an effective rhamnosidase-fluorescent indicator and whole-cell catalytic system for the first time. Moreover, we analyzed the change in the activity of the crude rhaB1-EGFP as well as its whole-cell during the biocatalysis process using fluorescence intensity. Recombinant rhaB1-EGFP as a product which contains rhaB1 and EGFP showed higher thermal stability, pH stability, and conversion efficiency than rhaB1, and its optimum temperature for rutin catalysis was ideal for industrial applications. Moreover, under the optimal conditions of a rutin concentration of 0.05 g/L, pH of 6.0, temperature of 40 °C, a yield of 92.5% was obtained. Furthermore, we demonstrated the relationship between the fluorescence intensity and enzyme activity. This study established a highly efficient whole-cell catalytic system whose activity can be evaluated by fluorescence intensity, providing a reference for enzyme recycling.

Effect of dietary date seed meal as an alternative carbohydrate source on immune-related gene expression of Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 86:994-998. [PMID: 30592966 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2018.12.053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Revised: 12/19/2018] [Accepted: 12/23/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Current study aimed to examine the effect of dietary date seed meal (DSM) as an alternative carbohydrate ingredient on immune-related genes expression of Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei). A total number of 750 shrimp (4.0 ± 0.1 g) were randomly assigned into five experimental treatments, each with three replicates. Experimental diets contained 0, 50, 100, 150 and 230 g/kg DSM substituted for both wheat and rice flour. Shrimp were fed at a rate of 5% body weight three times daily and the mRNA expression of α2-macroglobulin (α2-M), lipopolysaccharide and beta-1,3-glucan-binding protein (LGBP), integrin β, and peroxinectin (PX) was studied on five shrimp per treatment after 8 weeks feeding trial. The results showed that replacement of DSM up to 100 g/kg in the diet of P. vannamei caused no significant changes in the expression of α2-M and integrin β, however both of these genes showed lower expression in shrimp fed diets containing 150 and 230 g/kg DSM compared to control group. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in the expression of PX and LGBP between shrimp fed diets containing different amounts of DSM and control group. These findings demonstrated that as an inexpensive source of carbohydrate, DSM could be substituted up to 100 g/kg for wheat and rice flour in the diet of farmed shrimp without suppressive effects on the immune status.

Immunohaematological status and mRNA expression of the genes encoding interleukin-6, nuclear-factor kappa B, and tumor-necrosis factor-α in the spleen of broilers supplemented with dietary rutin.

Abstract
Rutin, also known as vitamin P or rutoside, has been explored for many pharmacological activities. Apples, tea leaves, and many other plants contain rutin as one of the active constituents. Haematological, immunological indices and the expression of inflammatory cytokine genes in spleen tissue were assessed to investigate the influence of different levels of dietary rutin supplement (0.25, 0.5, or 1 g/kg diet) on the immune response of broilers. After 6 weeks, rutin-fed chickens showed an increase in the haematological indices, including the number of blood lymphocytes. Similarly, serum total protein and globulin were also elevated. By contrast, serum cholesterol, triglycerides and liver enzymes were lower in the experimental birds than in the control birds. Moreover, compared with the control birds, there was no significant change in the bilirubin concentration, either total or direct, and kidney-function indices in response to rutin supplementation in the experimental birds. Among the immune parameters examined, lysozyme activity, nitric oxide concentrations, and immunologlobulin M (IgM) production were significantly higher in rutin-fed birds than in the control birds; however, there was no significant effect of rutin at any concentration on the IgG and IgA concentrations and lymphoid organ weight. Of the cytokine-encoding genes studied, the genes encoding interleukin-6, nuclear-factor kappa B, and tumour-necrosis factor-α were upregulated in the spleen of the experimental birds, while the expression of interferon gamma-encoding gene was unaffected in the experimental birds. Here, rutin promoted the immune strength in birds mainly at 1 g/kg diet, suggesting that rutin is a promising feed additive for broilers.

Abstract
Dietary supplementation with rutin may have some pharmacological qualities including anti-inflammatory effects. Kupffer cell activation resulted in increased transcription of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the pro- and anti-inflammatory activities in juvenile freshwater tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, in response to 0.1 or 0.3 g/kg dietary supplementation of rutin. Results showed that hepatic IgM, anti-inflammatory-cytokines, and pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased in groups treated with high doses of rutin. Hepatic IgM and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and IFN-γ) transcripts were significantly decreased, whereas the transcripts of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNFα and IL-1β were significantly decreased, whereas IL-8 was significantly increased. The number of Kupffer cells in rutin-treated groups was significantly decreased, and scanning electron micrographs showed that rutin enriched the number of gut microvilli and secretion pits. With the phenomena of cell apoptosis occurred in the rutin groups, the present study demonstrated that optimum levels of rutin may be beneficial but excessive level may cause liver impairment, which may be absorbed by the gut and then transported to the liver.

Abstract
The polysaccharide fucoidan from brown seaweed Sargassum wightii was extracted and it was incorporated with pellet diets at three concentrations (0.1, 0.2 & 0.3%). The fucoidan incorporated diets were fed to shrimp Penaeus monodon for 60 days and the growth performance was assessed. The weight gain and SGR of control group was 6.83 g and 9.72%, respectively, but the weight gain and SGR of various concentrations (0.1-0.3%) of fucoidan incorporated diets fed groups of shrimp was increased from 7.30 to 8.20 g and 9.83 to 10.03%, respectively. After 60 days of feeding experiment, the relative quantification of prophenoloxidase gene of experimental groups over control group was analysed by RT-PCR and it was ranged between 2.13 and 7.95 fold increase within 33.52-34.61 threshold cycles, respectively at 0.1-0.3% concentrations of fucoidan. After 60 days of feeding experiment, the P. monodon were challenged with shrimp pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus and the mortality percentage was recorded daily up to 21 days. The reduction in mortality percentage of experimental groups over control group was recorded from 44.56 to 72.79%, respectively in 0.1-0.3% of fucoidan incorporated diets fed groups. During challenge experiment, all the immunological parameters such as THC, prophenoloxidase activity, respiratory burst activity, superoxide dismutase activity, phagocytic activity, bactericidal activity and bacterial clearance ability of experimental groups were significantly (P < 0.05) increased than control group. The V. parahaemolyticus load was enumerated from the infected shrimp at every 10 days intervals during challenge experiment. In control group, the Vibrio load was increased in hepatopancreas and muscle tissues from 10th to 21st days of challenge test. But in the experimental groups, the Vibrio load in both the tissues decreased positively from 10th to 21st days of challenge duration. It is concluded that the S. wightii fucoidan had enhanced the innate immunity and increased resistance to V. parahaemolyticus infection in P. monodon.

Abstract
During the course of evolution, animals encountered the harmful effects of fungi, which are strong pathogens. Therefore, they have developed powerful mechanisms to protect themselves against these fungal invaders. β-Glucans are glucose polymers of a linear β(1,3)-glucan backbone with β(1,6)-linked side chains. The immunostimulatory and antitumor activities of β-glucans have been reported; however, their mechanisms have only begun to be elucidated. Fungal and particulate β-glucans, despite their large size, can be taken up by the M cells of Peyer's patches, and interact with macrophages or dendritic cells (DCs) and activate systemic immune responses to overcome the fungal infection. The sampled β-glucans function as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on innate immune cells. Dectin-1 receptor systems have been incorporated as the PRRs of β-glucans in the innate immune cells of higher animal systems, which function on the front line against fungal infection, and have been exploited in cancer treatments to enhance systemic immune function. Dectin-1 on macrophages and DCs performs dual functions: internalization of β-glucan-containing particles and transmittance of its signals into the nucleus. This review will depict in detail how the physicochemical nature of β-glucan contributes to its immunostimulating effect in hosts and the potential uses of β-glucan by elucidating the dectin-1 signal transduction pathway. The elucidation of β-glucan and its signaling pathway will undoubtedly open a new research area on its potential therapeutic applications, including as immunostimulants for antifungal and anti-cancer regimens.
