Soil salinity, depending on its intensity, drives a challenged plant either to death, or survival with compromised productivity. On exposure to moderate salinity, plants can often survive by sacrificing some of their cells ‘in target’ following a route called programmed cell death (PCD). In animals, PCD has been well characterised, and involvement of mitochondria in the execution of PCD events has been unequivocally proven. In plants, mechanistic details of the process are still in grey area. Previously, we have shown that in green tissues of rice, for salt induced PCD to occur, the presence of active chloroplasts and light are equally important. In the present work, we have characterised the chloroplast proteome in rice seedlings at 12 and 24 h after salt exposure and before the time point where the signature of PCD was observed. We identified almost 100 proteins from chloroplasts, which were divided in to 11 categories based on the biological functions in which they were involved. Our results concerning the differential expression of chloroplastic proteins revealed involvement of some novel candidates. Moreover, we observed maximum phosphorylation pattern of chloroplastic proteins at an early time point (12 h) of salt exposure.

Abstract Background Solutes distribution by the intracranial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fluxes along perivascular spaces and through interstitial fluid (ISF) play a key role in the clearance of brain metabolites, with essential functions in maintaining brain homeostasis. Objective To investigate the impact of decompressive craniectomy (DC) and cranioplasty (CP) on the efficacy of solutes distribution by the intracranial CSF and ISF flux. Methods Mice were allocated in 3 groups: sham surgery, DC, and DC followed by CP. The solutes distribution in the brain parenchyma was assessed using T1 magnetic resonance imaging after injection of DOTA-Gadolinium in the cisterna magna. This evaluation was performed at an early time point following DC (after 2 d) and at a later time point (after 15 d). We evaluated the solutes distribution in the whole brain and in the region underneath the DC area. Results Our results demonstrate that the global solutes distribution in the brain parenchyma is impaired after DC in mice, both at early and late time-points. However, there was no impact of DC on the solutes distribution just under the craniectomy. We then provide evidence that this impairment was reversed by CP. Conclusion The solute distribution in the brain parenchyma by the CSF and ISF is impaired by DC, a phenomenon reversed by CP.

Abstract Introduction Positron emission tomography (PET) using small ligands of the fibroblast activation protein (FAP) was recently introduced. However, optimal uptake time has not been defined yet. Here, we systematically compare early (~ 10 min p.i.) and late (~ 60 min p.i.) FAPI-46 imaging in patients with various types of cancer. Methods This is a retrospective single-institutional study. Imaging was performed at the Essen University Hospital, Germany. A total of 69 patients who underwent dual time-point imaging for either restaging (n = 52, 75%) or staging (n = 17, 25%) of cancer were included. Patients underwent PET with two acquisitions: early (mean 11 min, SD 4) and late (mean 66 min, SD 9). Mean injected activity was 148 MBq (SD 33). Results In total, 400 lesions were detected in 69 patients. Two of 400 (0.5%) lesions were only seen in early time-point imaging but not in late time-point imaging. On a per-patient level, there was no significant difference between SUVmax of hottest tumor lesions (Wilcoxon: P = 0.73). Organ uptake demonstrated significant early to late decrease in SUVmean (average ∆SUVmean: − 0.48, − 0.14, − 0.27 for gluteus, liver, and mediastinum, respectively; Wilcoxon: P < 0.001). On a per-lesion basis, a slight increase of SUVmax was observed (average ∆SUVmax: + 0.4, Wilcoxon: P = 0.03). Conclusion In conclusion, early (~ 10 min p.i.) versus late (~ 60 min p.i.) FAPI-46 imaging resulted in equivalent lesion uptake and tumor detection. For improved feasibility and scan volume, we implement early FAPI-46 PET in future clinical and research protocols.

ABSTRACTIn this work, we exploit recent advances in metagenomic assembly and bacteriophage identification to describe the phage content of saliva from 5 mother-baby pairs sampled twice 7 - 11 months apart during the first year of the babies’ lives. We identify 25 phage genomes that are comprised of one to 71 contigs, with 16 having a single contig. At the detectable level, phage were sparsely distributed with the most common one being present in 4 of the 20 samples, derived from two mothers and one baby. However, if they were present in the early time point sample from an individual, they were also present in the later sample from the same person more frequently than expected by chance. The nucleotide diversity (π) in phage from the same sample or the same person was much lower than between different individuals, indicating dominance of one strain in each person. This was different from bacterial genomes, which had higher diversity indicating the presence of multiple strains within an individual. We identify likely bacterial hosts for 16 of the 25 phage, including an apparent inovirus that is capable of integrating in the dif site ofHaemophilusspecies. It appears that phage in the oral cavity are sparsely distributed, but can be maintained for months once acquired.

Background and Aims: Surgical management of intracerebral (ICH) remains controversial due to unclear benefit. In this study, we analyzed temporal changes in expression of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory survival genes to discern the molecular differences between favorable and unfavorable outcomes after surgery. Methods: Venous blood collected in Paxgene Blood RNA from ICH patients before surgery at ‘early’ (Day 0-2) and at ‘delayed’ (Day 3-5) timepoints. Extracted total RNA was used for real-time Taqman PCR analysis for anti-inflammatory, survival genes superoxide dismutase 1(SOD1), COX-2, IL-10, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARG), TGF-B1, and IL-10. The pro-inflammatory genes included arginase-1 (ARG1), TNF, IL-1B, monocyte/macrophage activity markers (CD36, CD163) and NF-kB members (NFKB1, NFKB2, RELA, RELB, REL, NFKBIA). Relative fold changes were determined after normalizing to GAPDH. 90-day Modified Rankin Score (mRS) were collected and classified as favorable, mRS 0-3 (n=4) and unfavorable, mRS 4-6 (n=8). Statistical analysis was carried out by Welch’s ANOVA test (p<0.05). Results: Mean age was 56.25yrs (SD 19.7). ICH location was 10 deep nuclei (thalamus or basal ganglia), 1 cerebellum, and 1 lobar. ICH volume was lower in the mRS 0-3 group (24.15ml SD21.2 vs 35.8ml SD 31.7 p=0.68). All patients had a decompressive hemicraniectomy and 7 included hematoma evacuation. Overall, the NFkB family gene expression was increased at ‘delayed’ relative to the early time points in both groups. However, RELB expression was significantly higher at the early time point of mRS 0-3 compared to mRS 4-6 group. Expression of ARG1, SOD1, COX2, IL-1B, IL-10, TGF-B1, PPARG and CD36 increased significantly at the delayed compared to the early time point. In the unfavorable outcome group (mRS 4-6), TNF expression increased significantly at the delayed timepoints compared to mRS 0-3 which was unchanged. Conclusions: The studied genes were highly expressed and differed significantly between time points. TNF was significantly expressed at the delayed time point in the mRS 4-6 group but unchanged in the mRS 0-3 group. Further studies will explore the role of TNF and related genes in patient selection and outcomes for surgical management of ICH.

ABSTRACT Early interactions between pathogens and host cells are often decisive for the subsequent course of infection. Here we investigated early events during infection by Listeria monocytogenes, a ubiquitously occurring facultative intracellular microorganism that exhibits severe pathogenicity, mainly in immunocompromised individuals. We show that the inflammatory chemokine CCL2 is highly up-regulated early after Listeria infection in spleens of BALB/c mice. ERTR-9+ macrophages of the marginal zone were identified as the only infected cells and exclusive producers of CCL2 at the early time point. Consequently, clusters of different cell types were formed around infected ERTR-9+ cells. Metallophilic MOMA-1+ marginal zone macrophages were, however, excluded from the clusters and migrated into the B-cell follicles. Depletion of CCL2 during infection resulted in a different composition of cell clusters in the spleen and increased the mortality rate of treated mice. Interestingly, ERTR-9+ macrophages no longer were part of clusters in such mice but remained at their original location in the marginal zone.
