Abstract
Enhanced glucose uptake in insulin-sensitive tissues is one of the therapeutic strategies to ameliorate hyperglycemia and maintain glucose homeostasis in type 2 diabetes. This study disclosed the role of fungal depsidones in glucose uptake and the underlying mechanism in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Depsidones, including nidulin, nornidulin, and unguinol, isolated from Aspergillus unguis, stimulate glucose uptake in adipocytes. Compared to the others, nidulin exhibited an upward trend in glucose uptake. The effect of nidulin was found to be dose- and time-dependent. Nidulin also enhanced insulin- and metformin-stimulated glucose uptake. Upregulation of GLUT4 expression and AKT and AMPK phosphorylation were observed with nidulin treatment. Blockage of AKT, but not AMPK, phosphorylation was largely accompanied by diminished glucose uptake. In agreement, nidulin triggered the translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. Importantly, nidulin elevated glucose uptake associated with increased AKT phosphorylation in insulin-resistant adipocytes. Taken together, nidulin could stimulate glucose uptake mainly through AKT-dependent GLUT4 translocation, serving as a seed compound in drug discovery for type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Non-typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS) caused by ingesting Salmonella enterica contaminated food or drink remains a major bacterial foodborne disease. Clinical outcomes of NTS range from self-limited gastroenteritis to life-threatening invasive NTS (iNTS). In this study, we isolated Salmonella spp. from the stool and blood of patients hospitalized at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital, Chiang Mai, Thailand, between 2016-2021 (a total of 395 cases). Then, serovar Typhimurium and Enteritidis were identified and further characterized by multiplex PCR, and multi-locus sequence typing. Our data show that multidrug resistance (MDR) sequence type 34 (ST34) and ST11 are the predominant sequence types for serovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis, respectively. Most S. Typhimurium ST34 lacks spvB, and most S. Enteritidis ST11 harbor sseI, sodCI, rpoS and spvB genes. NTS can be found in a wide range of ages, and anemia could be a significant factor for S. Typhimurium infection (86.3%). Both S. Typhimurium (6.7%) and S. Enteritidis (25.0%) can cause iNTS in immunocompromised patients. S. Typhimurium conferred MDR phenotype higher than S. Enteritidis with multiple antibiotic resistance indexes of 0.22 and 0.04, respectively. Here, we characterized the important S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis, and human clinical factors of NTS within the region.

Abstract
Inulin might improve body composition in obese children. We aimed to determine the effects of inulin supplementation on body composition and metabolic outcomes in obese children. A randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled study was conducted in obese Thai children aged 7–15 years. Participants were assigned to 3 treatment groups for 6 months: 13 g of extracted inulin powder from Thai Jerusalem artichoke, isocaloric maltodextrin, and dietary fiber advice groups. Body composition was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis. One-hundred and fifty-five children completed the study (mean age 10.4 ± 2.2 years, BMI z-score 3.2 ± 1.0, 59% male). The drop-out rate was 6%. The inulin extract yielded more than 90% compliance without significant gastrointestinal side effects. All three groups demonstrated a significant decrease in BMI z-score, fat mass index (FMI), and trunk FMI, but the differences between groups were not observed. Fat-free mass index significantly increased only in the inulin group (16.18 ± 1.90 vs. 16.38 ± 1.98 kg/m2, P = 0.009). There were no significant differences in the metabolic profiles between groups. Despite showing no substantial effect on adiposity, inulin may increase fat-free mass in obese children. Further research in the change of gut microbiota composition is needed to determine inulin’s impact on host-microbe interaction in pediatric obesity.

Abstract
Abstract
Microbial food safety in cultured tilapia remains a challenge to public health worldwide, due in part to intensive aquaculture leading to poor water quality and high organic matter deposition. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of indicator and potential pathogenic bacteria in hybrid red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) and their cultivation water and to identify environmental parameters and other bacterial contaminants associated with Salmonella contamination. A total of 120 fish were sampled, which were partitioned into fish carcasses (n=120), muscle (n=120), intestine (n=120), liver and kidney (n=120), and cultivation water (n=120) from three commercial farms in western Thailand from October 2019 to November 2020. The prevalence of fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli in these 600 samples was 74.8% and 56.7%, respectively. The prevalence of Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Vibrio vulnificus was 32.0%, 17.5%, 2.5% and 1.7%, respectively. None of the samples tested positive for S. agalactiae. Cultivation water exhibited a high prevalence for Salmonella (58.3%). Among fish samples, Salmonella had the highest prevalence at 25.4%, which was mainly from fish intestine. There was a significant association of Salmonella with the presence of fecal coliforms, E. coli, V. cholerae, and V. vulnificus. The predominant serovars of Salmonella included Saintpaul, Neukoelln, Escanaba, and Papuana. Grazing ducks that were raised in proximity to these cultured tilapia shared the same isolates of Salmonella based on the similarity of their rep-PCR DNA fingerprints, suggesting that ducks may function as either a biological reservoir for tilapia or at minimum participate in the environmental replication of this strain of Salmonella. Taken together, the results suggest that the environment used for tilapia aquaculture may be contaminated with pathogenic bacteria; therefore, food safety precautions are needed during processing, transportation, cooking, and consumption.

Abstract
Skin aging is accompanied by an increase in the number of senescent cells, resulting in various pathological outcomes. These include inflammation, impaired barrier function, and susceptibility to skin disorders such as cancer. Kaempferia parviflora (Thai black ginger), a medicinal plant native to Thailand, has been shown to counteract inflammation, cancer, and senescence. This study demonstrates that polymethoxyflavones (5,7-dimethoxyflavone, 5,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone, and 3,5,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavone) purified from K. parviflora rhizomes suppressed cellular senescence, reactive oxygen species, and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype in primary human dermal fibroblasts. In addition, they increased tropocollagen synthesis and alleviated free radical-induced cellular and mitochondrial damage. Moreover, the compounds mitigated chronological aging in a human ex vivo skin model by attenuating senescence and restoring expression of essential components of the extracellular matrix, including collagen type I, fibrillin-1, and hyaluronic acid. Finally, we report that polymethoxyflavones enhanced epidermal thickness and epidermal-dermal stability, while blocking age-related inflammation in skin explants. Our findings support the use of polymethoxyflavones from K. parviflora as natural anti-aging agents, highlighting their potential as active ingredients in cosmeceutical and nutraceutical products.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a serious problem affecting health of the elderly. Drugs (bisphosphonates) applied for treatment are often accompanied by adverse side effects. Thus, fish byproduct-derived peptides, particularly hydrolyzed collagen (HC) from defatted sea bass skin, could be a safe source of anti-osteoporosis agents. This study aimed to examine the effects of HC on proliferation and differentiation of preosteoblast cells. HC prepared using papain before Alcalase hydrolysis was determined for molecular weight (MW) distribution. Thereafter, the resulting HC (50-800 µg/mL) was added to the cell. Proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity (AP-A) and mineralization of cells were investigated. Moreover, the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and the p-Akt/Akt pathway were also determined using Western blot. The results showed that HC had an MW < 3 kDa. HC (50-200 µg/mL) could promote cell proliferation. Nevertheless, HC at 100 µg/mL (HC-100) had enhanced AP-A and increased mineralization during the first 7 days of culture. Moreover, HC-treated cells had higher calcium depositions than the control (p < 0.05). Additionally, cells treated with HC-100 had higher levels of RUNX2 and p-Akt expressions than control (p < 0.05). Therefore, HC could be a promising functional ingredient to promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, which could enhance bone strength.

Abstract
Biofloc systems generate and accumulate microbial aggregates known as bioflocs. The presence of bioflocs has been shown to change gut bacterial diversity and stimulate innate immunity in shrimp. The microbial niche of bioflocs may therefore have the potential to drive shifts in the shrimp gut microbiota associated with stimulation of innate immunity. We performed shotgun metagenomic analysis and 16S rRNA-based amplicon sequencing to characterize complex bacterial members in bioflocs and the shrimp digestive tract, respectively. Moreover, we determined whether biofloc-grown shrimp with discrete gut microbiomes had an elevation in local immune-related gene expression and systemic immune activities. Our findings demonstrated that the bacterial community in bioflocs changed dynamically during Pacific white shrimp cultivation. Metagenomic analysis revealed that Vibrio comprised 90% of the biofloc population, while Pseualteromonas, Photobacterium, Shewanella, Alteromonas, Bacillus, Lactobacillus, Acinetobacter, Clostridium, Marinifilum, and Pseudomonas were also detected. In the digestive tract, biofloc-grown shrimp maintained the presence of commensal bacteria including Vibrio, Photobacterium, Shewanella, Granulosicoccus, and Ruegeria similar to control shrimp. However, Vibrio and Photobacterium were significantly enriched and declined, respectively, in biofloc-grown shrimp. The presence of bioflocs upregulated immune-related genes encoding serine proteinase and prophenoloxidase in digestive organs which are routinely exposed to gut microbiota. Biofloc-grown shrimp also demonstrated a significant increase in systemic immune status. As a result, the survival rate of biofloc-grown shrimp was substantially higher than that of the control shrimp. Our findings suggested that the high relative abundance of vibrios in bioflocs enriched the number of vibrios in the digestive tract of biofloc-grown shrimp. This shift in gut microbiota composition may be partially responsible for local upregulation of immune-related gene expression in digestive organs and systemic promotion of immune status in circulating hemolymph.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium [STM]) is a leading cause of nontyphoidal salmonellosis (NTS) worldwide. The pathogenesis of NTS has been studied extensively using a streptomycin-pretreated mouse colitis model with the limited numbers of laboratory STM strains. However, the pathogenicity of the clinically isolated STM (STMC) strains endemic in Thailand in mice has not been explored. The aim of this study was to compare the pathogenicity of STMC strains collected from Northern Thailand with the laboratory STM (IR715) in mice. Five STMC isolates were obtained from the stool cultures of patients with acute NTS admitted to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital in 2016 and 2017. Detection of virulence genes and sequence type (ST) of the strains was performed. Female C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with streptomycin sulfate 1 day prior to oral infection with STM. On Day 4 postinfection, mice were euthanized, and tissues were collected to analyze the bacterial numbers, tissue inflammation, and cecal histopathological score. We found that all five STMC strains are ST34 and conferred the same or reduced pathogenicity compared with that of IR715 in mice. A strain-specific effect of ST34 on mouse gut colonization was also observed. Thailand STM ST34 exhibited a significant attenuated systemic infection in mice possibly due to the lack of spvABC-containing virulence plasmid.

Abstract
Cellular homeostasis of zinc, an essential element for living organisms, is tightly regulated by a family of zinc transporters. The zinc transporter 7, ZnT7, is highly expressed on the membrane of the Golgi complex of intestinal epithelial cells and goblet cells. It has previously been shown that Znt7 knockout leads to zinc deficiency and decreased weight gain in C57BL/6 mice on a defined diet. However, effects within the colon are unknown. Given the expression profile of Znt7, we set out to analyze the changes in mucin density and gut microbial composition in the mouse large intestine induced by Znt7 knockout. We fed a semi-purified diet containing 30 mg Zn/kg to Znt7-/- mice with their heterozygous and wild type littermates and found a sex specific effect on colonic mucin density, goblet cell number, and microbiome composition. In male mice Znt7 knockout led to increased goblet cell number and mucin density but had little effect on gut microbiome composition. However, in female mice Znt7 knockout was associated with decreased goblet cell number and mucin density, with increased proportions of the microbial taxa, Allobaculum, relative to wild type. The gut microbial composition was correlated with mucin density in both sexes. These findings suggest that a sex-specific relationship exists between zinc homeostasis, mucin production and the microbial community composition within the colon.

Abstract
The use of probiotics in aquaculture is a practical alternative to promote animal health and disease prevention. Meanwhile, this practice can also reduce the use of prophylactic antibiotics. The purpose of this study was to identify candidate probiotics that could control pathogen populations in host's gastrointestinal (GI) tract and stimulate host immunity in shrimp aquaculture. Bacillus aryabhattai TBRC8450, a bacterial strain isolated from the environment in a shrimp farm, has an antimicrobial activity against many pathogenic strains of Vibrio harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus. Supplementation of B. aryabhattai to Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) not only decreased the abundance of Vibrio populations, but also shifted the bacterial community in the shrimp GI tract. We found that supplementation of B. aryabhattai triggered shrimp innate immunity and antioxidant activities. mRNA expression of genes encoding microbial peptides and antioxidant enzymes, including C-type lectin, penaeidin-3, heat shock protein 60, thioredoxin, and ferritin, was significantly upregulated in the hepatopancreas of shrimp fed B. aryabhattai. Furthermore, phenoloxidase activity in the hemocytes and the total antioxidant activity in the plasma were increased, indicating enhanced immune and antioxidant responses at the systemic level. In contrast, supplementation of B. aryabhattai had no effect on the total hemocyte count and superoxide dismutase activity in the plasma and hepatopancreas. Importantly, a pathogen challenge test using V. harveyi 1562 showed a significant increase in survival rates of shrimp fed B. aryabhattai compared to the control group. Our findings suggest that B. aryabhattai TBRC8450 can likely be used as a probiotic to reduce the population of V. harveyi in the shrimp GI tract and to enhance shrimp innate immunity and antioxidant capacity for vibriosis resistance in shrimp aquaculture.

Abstract
Background A genome-wide mapping study using male F2zinc transporter 7-knockout mice (znt7-KO) and their wild type littermates in a mixed 129P1/ReJ (129P1) and C57BL/6J (B6) background identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 7, which had a synergistic effect on body weight gain and fat deposit with the znt7-null mutation. Results The genetic segment for body weight on mouse chromosome 7 was investigated by newly created subcongenic znt7-KO mouse strains carrying different lengths of genomic segments of chromosome 7 from the 129P1 donor strain in the B6 background. We mapped the sub-QTL for body weight in the proximal region of the previously mapped QTL, ranging from 47.4 to 64.4 megabases (Mb) on chromosome 7. The 129P1 donor allele conferred lower body weight gain and better glucose handling during intraperitoneal glucose challenge than the B6 allele control. We identified four candidate genes, including Htatip2, E030018B13Rik, Nipa1, and Atp10a, in this sub-QTL using quantitative RT-PCR and cSNP detection (single nucleotide polymorphisms in the protein coding region). Conclusions This study dissected the genetic determinates of body weight and glucose metabolism in znt7-KO mice. The study demonstrated that a 17-Mb long 129P1 genomic region on mouse chromosome 7 conferred weight reduction and improved glucose tolerance in znt7-KO male mice. Among the four candidate genes identified, Htatip2 is the most likely candidate gene involved in the control of body weight based on its function in regulation of lipid metabolism. The candidate genes discovered in this study lay a foundation for future studies of their roles in development of metabolic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effect of lead (Pb) on bone ultrastructure and chemistry using an in vitro bone model. MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts were differentiated and treated with lead acetate at 0.4, 2, 10, and 50 μM. No abnormalities in either cell growth or bone nodule formation were observed with the treated dose of lead acetate. However, Pb treatments could significantly increase Pb accumulation in differentiated osteoblast cultures and upregulate expression of Divalent metal transporter 1 (Dmt1) in a dose dependent manner. Pb treatments also altered the expression of osteogenic genes, including secreted phosphoprotein 1, osteocalcin, type I collagen, and osteoprotegerin. Moreover, in mineralized osteoblast cultures, Pb was found to be mainly deposited as Pb salts and oxides, respectively. Ultrastructure analysis revealed Pb localizing with calcium and phosphorus in the mineralized matrix. In mineralizing osteoblast cells, Pb was found in the intracellular calcified vesicles which is one of the bone mineralization mechanisms. Pb was also present in mineral deposits with various shapes and sizes, such as small and large globular or needle-like mineral deposits representing early to mature stages of mineral deposits. Furthermore, Pb was found more in the globular deposits than the needle shaped mineral crystals. Taken together, our observations revealed how Pb incorporates into bone tissue, and showed a close association with bone apatite.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed at investigating white striping (WS) and wooden breast (WB) cases in breast meat collected from commercial broilers. Methods A total of 183 breast samples were collected from male Ross 308 broilers slaughtered at the age of 6 weeks (n = 100) and 7 weeks (n = 83). The breasts were subjected to meat defect inspection, meat quality determination and histology evaluation. Results Of 183, 4 breasts from 6-week-old broilers were classified as non-defective while the others exhibited the WS lesion. Among the 6-week-old birds, the defective samples from the medium size birds (carcass weight ≤2.5 kg) showed mild to moderate WS degree with no altered meat quality. Some of the breasts from the 6-week-old birds with carcass weight above 2.5 kg exhibited WB in accompanied with the WS condition. Besides of a reduction of protein content, increases in collagen matter and pH values in the defective samples (p<0.05), no other impaired quality indices were detected within this group. All 7-week-old broilers yielded carcasses weighing above 2.5 kg and showed abnormal characteristics with progressive severity. The breasts affected with severe WS and WB showed the greatest cook loss, hardness, springiness and chewiness (p<0.05). Development of WB induced significantly increased drip loss in the samples (p<0.05). Histology indicated necrotic events in the defective myofibers. Based on logistic regression, increasing percent breast weight by one unit enhanced the chance of WS and WB development with advanced severity by 50.9% and 61.0%, respectively. Delayed slaughter age from 6 to 7 weeks increased the likelihood of obtaining increased WS severity by 56.3%. Conclusion Cases of WS and WB defects in Southeast Asia have been revealed. Despite few cases of the severe WS and WB, such abnormal conditions significantly impaired technological properties and nutritional quality of broiler breasts.

Abstract
ZnT7 (Slc30a7) is a widely expressed zinc transporter involved in sequestration of zinc into the Golgi apparatus and vesicular compartments. znt7-knockout (KO) mice are mildly zinc-deficient and lean. Despite their lean phenotype, adult male znt7-KO mice are prone to insulin resistance. We hypothesized that fat partitioning from adipose to nonadipose tissues causes insulin resistance in znt7-KO mice. Here, we used biological and biochemical methods, including fatty acid and oxylipin profiling, EM, immunohistochemistry, quantitative RT-PCR, and Western blot analysis, to identify the underlying mechanism of insulin resistance in znt7-KO mice. We found that insulin resistance in this model was primarily associated with increased intracellular fatty acid levels in the skeletal muscle, which promoted intracellular lipid accumulation and production of bioactive lipid mediators, such as 12,13-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid (12,13-DiHOME) and 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE). The expression of fatty acid-binding protein 3 (Fabp3) was dramatically up-regulated in the znt7-KO muscle cells accompanied by increased expression of Cd36, Slc27a1, and Slc27a4, the three major fatty acid transporters in the skeletal muscle. We also demonstrated that znt7-KO muscle cells had increased fatty acid oxidative capacity, indicated by enlarged mitochondria and increased mRNA or protein expression of key enzymes involved in the fatty acid mitochondrial shuttle and β-oxidation. We conclude that increased fatty acid uptake in the znt7-KO skeletal muscle is a key factor that contributes to the excessive intracellular lipid deposit and elevated production of bioactive lipid mediators. These mediators may play pivotal roles in oxidative stress and inflammation, leading to insulin resistance.

Abstract
Zinc deficiency impairs the immune system leading to frequent infections. Although zinc is known to play critical roles in maintaining healthy immune function, the underlying molecular targets are largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that zinc is important for the CD154–CD40‐mediated activation of downstream signaling pathways in human B lymphocytes. CD40 is a receptor localized on the cell surface of many immune cells, including B lymphocytes. It binds to CD154, a membrane protein expressed on antigen‐activated T helper (Th) lymphocytes. This CD154‐CD40 interaction leads to B‐cell activation. We showed that cellular zinc deficiency impaired the CD154‐CD40‐mediated p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) phosphorylation. We also showed that zinc supplemental treatment of B lymphocytes had limited effect on this CD40‐mediated p38 MAPK signaling. Most importantly, we demonstrated that the zinc transporter protein zinc transporter 7 (ZNT7) interacted with CD40 using immunoprecipitation analyses. ZNT7 knockdown in B lymphocytes had a negative effect on the cell surface expression of CD40. Consequently, the CD40‐mediated p38 MAPK signaling transduction was down‐regulated in ZNT7KD B lymphocytes. Conversely, this p38 MAPK signaling activity was up‐regulated by overexpression (OE) of ZNT7 in B lymphocytes. Moreover, we found that ZNT7 knockdown in B lymphocytes constitutively up‐ and down‐regulated the inhibitor of i kappa B kinase and AKT serine/threonine kinase phosphorylation, respectively, which implies the activation of survival signaling in ZNT7KD B cells. We conclude that CD40 is the target molecule for ZNT7 in regulation of immune function of B lymphocytes.

Abstract
Mice deficient for zinc transporter 7 protein (ZnT7) are mildly zinc deficient with low body weight gain and body fat accumulation. To investigate the underlying mechanism of ZnT7 deficiency in body adiposity, we examined fatty acid composition and insulin sensitivity in visceral (epididymal) and subcutaneous fat pads from Znt7 knockout and control mice. We showed that ZnT7 deficiency had adverse effects on fatty acid metabolism and insulin action in subcutaneous fat but not in epididymal fat in mice, consistent with the ZnT7 protein expression pattern in adipose tissues. Importantly, we found that the expression of ZnT7 protein was induced by lipogenic differentiation and reached a peak when the adipocyte was fully differentiated in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. We demonstrated, using Znt7 knockdown (Znt7KD) 3T3-L1 adipocytes, that reduction in Znt7 expression blunted activations of the signal transduction pathways that regulated both basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes, resulting in low glucose uptake and lipid accumulation. The expression of the signaling mediators critical for the initiation of pre-adipocyte differentiation, including Pparγ and C/Ebpα, appeared not to be affected by Znt7KD in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These findings strongly suggest a role for ZnT7 in adipocyte lipogenesis.

Abstract
Zinc transporter 7 (Znt7, Slc30a7) knockout (KO) mice display abnormalities in body weight gain and body adiposity. Regulation of body weight and body fat accumulation is complex, involving multiple genetic and environmental factors. To understand how zinc homeostasis influences body weight and fat deposit and to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that link zinc metabolism to growth and adiposity, we conducted a genome-wide mapping study using male F2 Znt7 KO mice and wild-type (WT) littermates with a mixed 129P1/ReJ and C57BL/6J genetic background. The mice were fed a semi-purified diet containing 30-mg Zn/kg diet at weaning. Body weights and fat pad weights including epididymal, retroperitoneal, and femoral subcutaneous fat pads were measured at 16 weeks of age. We detected two significant QTLs (p < 0.05) for body weight and fat deposit. One was in the F2 Znt7 KO population and the other in the F2 WT population. In Znt7 KO mice, the body weight and fat deposit was significantly linked to a locus on chromosome 7 ranging from 64.3 to 78.3 Mb. In WT mice, a significant linkage of retroperitoneal fat mass was found on chromosome 8 between 14.5 and 63.5 Mb. In addition, several other suggestive QTLs (p < 0.63) for body weight and fat accumulation were detected in Znt7 KO and WT mice. In conclusion, the QTLs identified in this study may provide new hints to uncover the genes linking cellular zinc status to growth and body fat accumulation.
