Antimicrobial use and its association with the isolation of and antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter spp. recovered from fecal samples from Canadian dairy herds: A cross-sectional study. Prev Vet Med 2023; 215:105925. [PMID: 37104967 DOI: 10.1016/j.prevetmed.2023.105925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023]
Abstract
Campylobacteriosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in North America. As opposed to humans, animal infections caused by Campylobacter spp. are often asymptomatic. In this study, data collected through the Canadian Dairy Network for Antimicrobial Stewardship surveillance system were used to determine the proportion of Campylobacter spp. and antimicrobial resistant isolates recovered from dairy cattle herds. Additionally, the association of antimicrobial use (AMU) with fecal carriage and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Campylobacter spp. were investigated. Pooled fecal samples from 5 animals from each production phase (pre-weaned calves, post-weaned heifers, lactating cows), and a manure storage sample were collected from 140 dairy herds across Canada. Samples were cultured using selective media, and Campylobacter isolates were speciated using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. Antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined using the minimum inhibitory concentration test, and interpretation was made according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Two multilevel logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between the AMU with the isolation and antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter spp. Of 560 samples, 63.8% were positive for Campylobacter spp., and 96% of the participating farms had at least one sample source (i.e., calves, heifers, lactating cows, or manure storage) positive for Campylobacter spp. Overall, 54.3% of the Campylobacter spp. isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial. Resistance to tetracycline was observed in 49.7% of the Campylobacter spp. isolates, followed by ciprofloxacin (19.9%) and nalidixic acid (19.3%). The proportion of multi-drug resistant (≥3 antimicrobial classes) Campylobacter spp. isolates was low (0.3%); however, 15.6% were resistant to two different classes of antimicrobials. Samples collected from lactating cows, heifers, and manure storage were more likely to be positive for Campylobacter spp. compared to calves. Total AMU was associated with a decreased probability of recovering Campylobacter spp. In addition, AMR to either tetracycline or ciprofloxacin had an interaction with antimicrobial use. The probability of resistance to tetracycline increased for each unit increase in the total AMU (Defined Course Dose/100 animal-years), while the probability of resistance to ciprofloxacin decreased. Campylobacter coli isolates were more likely to be resistant to ciprofloxacin and tetracycline when compared to C. jejuni. Our study demonstrated that Campylobacter spp. is widespread among Canadian dairy farms, and a higher proportion of resistance to tetracycline was identified. The total AMU was associated with increased resistance to tetracycline in Campylobacter spp. isolates; however, for ciprofloxacin the AMU was associated with decreased resistance.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most malignant subtype of breast cancer. In the absence of effective molecular markers for TNBC, there is an urgent clinical need for promising therapeutic target for TNBC. Histone deacetylases (HDACs), key regulators for chromatin remodeling and gene expression, have been suggested to play critical roles in cancer development. However, little is known ~the functions and implications of HDACs in TNBC treatment in the future. By analyzing the expression and prognostic significance of HDAC family members in TNBC through TCGA and METABRIC databases, HDAC7 was found to be downregulated in TNBC samples and the survival of patients with lower expression of HDAC7 was shorter. Furthermore, HDAC7 was negatively associated with NudC domain containing 1 (NudCD1) and γ-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH). Loss of NudCD1 or GGH predicted improved overall survival time (OS) of patients with TNBC. In vitro experiments showed that silencing of HDAC7 enhanced TNBC cell proliferation, while overexpression HDAC7 inhibited TNBC cell proliferation. The results of functional experiments confirmed that HDAC7 negatively modulated GGH and NudCD1 expression. Furthermore, decrease of NudCD1 or GGH inhibited cell proliferation. Notably, the HDAC7-NudCD1/GGH axis was found to be associated with NK cell infiltration. Overall, the present study revealed a novel role of HDAC7-NudCD1/GGH axis in TNBC, which might provide a promising treatment strategy for patients with TNBC.

Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:913197. [PMID: 35832330 PMCID: PMC9271936 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.913197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The German Antibiotics Minimization Concept defines a farm-level benchmarking process based on half-yearly treatment frequencies that applies to six animal populations for fattening: calves (≤ 8 months), cattle (> 8 months), piglets (≤ 30 kg), pigs (> 30 kg), broiler chickens, and turkeys. The treatment frequency defined in the Minimization Concept takes into account the number of animals treated, the treatment duration, and the number of active antimicrobial ingredients, for each individual treatment, and is equivalent to a treatment frequency based on the used daily dose (UDD) and the actual weight of the animals at the time of treatment. With data from the German benchmarking system for the seven half-year periods from the second semester 2014 to the end of 2017, we compared UDD-based metrics of antimicrobial use (AMU) at the treatment and the farm level with metrics based on defined daily doses for animals (DDDvet) and standardized animal weights assumed at the time most likely for treatment. We show the extent to which DDDvet-based metrics would introduce errors into the measurement of AMU at the treatment level and consequently at the farm level. To that end, we introduce the average animal daily dose ratio, an aggregate measure that quantifies how choice of antimicrobial substances, deviations of used doses from recommended doses, of recommended doses from DDDvet values, and of treatment weights from standardized weights, affect a farm's AMU metrics. Our results show that in all animal populations considered benchmarking processes would become less successful at targeting high users. This would be especially true for broiler chickens and turkeys where the relative weight gain during fattening is the largest and overdosing appears to be common practice. Therefore, in AMU monitoring systems with the purpose of benchmarking farms UDD-based metrics are preferable to DDDvet-based metrics.

Identification and Validation of Ferroptosis-Related LncRNA Signatures as a Novel Prognostic Model for Colon Cancer. Front Immunol 2022; 12:783362. [PMID: 35154072 PMCID: PMC8826443 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.783362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Ferroptosis is a newly defined form of programmed cell death that plays an important role in many cancers. However, ferroptosis-related lncRNAs (FRLs) involved in the regulation of colon cancer are not thoroughly understood. This study aimed to identify a prognostic FRL signature in colon cancer and explore its potential molecular function. Methods RNA-seq data and relevant clinical information were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and a list of ferroptosis-related genes was extracted from the FerrDb website. Analysis of differentially expressed FRLs was performed using the 'limma' package in R software. By implementing coexpression analysis and univariate Cox analysis, we then identified prognostic FRLs. Using Cox regression analysis with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm, we constructed a prognostic model based on 4 FRLs. We evaluated the prognostic power of this model using Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curve analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Moreover, the relationships between the signature and immune landscape, somatic mutation and drug sensitivity were explored. Finally, in vitro experiments were conducted to validate the functions of AP003555.1 and AC000584.1. Results A 4-FRL signature was constructed. Two risk groups were classified based on the risk score calculated by this signature. The signature-based risk score exhibited a more powerful capacity for survival prediction than traditional clinicopathological features in colon patients. Additionally, we observed a significant difference in immune cells, such as CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and macrophages, between the two groups. Moreover, the high-risk group exhibited lower IC50 values for certain chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, docetaxel, bleomycin or axitinib. Finally, the in vitro experiments showed that ferroptosis processes were suppressed after AP003555.1 and AC000584.1 knockdown. Conclusion The proposed 4-FRL signature is a promising biomarker to predict clinical outcomes and therapeutic responses in colon cancer patients.

Informing Stewardship Measures in Canadian Food Animal Species through Integrated Reporting of Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Data-Part I, Methodology Development. Pathogens 2021; 10:pathogens10111492. [PMID: 34832647 PMCID: PMC8618382 DOI: 10.3390/pathogens10111492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 10/08/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study explores methodologies for the data integration of antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) results within and across three food animal species, surveyed at the farm-level by the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS). The approach builds upon existing CIPARS methodology and principles from other AMU and AMR surveillance systems. Species level data integration involved: (1) standard CIPARS descriptive and temporal analysis of AMU/AMR, (2) synthesis of results, (3) selection of AMU and AMR outcomes for integration, (4) selection of candidate AMU indicators to enable comparisons of AMU levels between species and simultaneous assessment of AMU and AMR trends, (5) exploration of analytic options for studying associations between AMU and AMR, and (6) interpretation and visualization. The multi-species integration was also completed using the above approach. In addition, summarized reporting of internationally-recognized indicators of AMR (i.e., AMR adjusted for animal biomass) and AMU (mg/population correction unit, mg/kg animal biomass) is explored. It is envisaged that this approach for species and multi-species AMU-AMR data integration will be applied to the annual CIPARS farm-level data and progressively developed over time to inform AMU-AMR integrated surveillance best practices for further enhancement of AMU stewardship actions.
