The immune system is essential to maintain the mutualistic homeostatic interaction between the host and its micro- and mycobiota. Living as a commensal, Saccharomyces cerevisiae could potentially shape the immune response in a significant way. We observed that S. cerevisiae cells induce trained immunity in monocytes in a strain-dependent manner through enhanced TNFα and IL-6 production upon secondary stimulation with TLR ligands, as well as bacterial and fungal commensals. Differential chitin content accounts for the differences in training properties observed among strains, driving induction of trained immunity by increasing cytokine production and direct antimicrobial activity both in vitro and in vivo. These chitin-induced protective properties are intimately associated with its internalization, identifying a critical role of phagosome acidification to facilitate microbial digestion. This study reveals how commensal and passenger microorganisms could be important in promoting health and preventing mucosal diseases by modulating host defense toward pathogens and thus influencing the host microbiota-immune system interactions. 相似文献

Little is known about the vegetation and fire history of Sardinia, and especially the long-term history of the thermo-Mediterranean belt that encompasses its entire coastal lowlands. A new sedimentary record from a coastal lake based on pollen, spores, macrofossils and microscopic charcoal analysis is used to reconstruct the vegetation and fire history in north-eastern Sardinia. During the mid-Holocene (c. 8,100–5,300 cal bp), the vegetation around Stagno di Sa Curcurica was characterised by dense Erica scoparia and E. arborea stands, which were favoured by high fire activity. Fire incidence declined and evergreen broadleaved forests of Quercus ilex expanded at the beginning of the late Holocene. We relate the observed vegetation and fire dynamics to climatic change, specifically moister and cooler summers and drier and milder winters after 5,300 cal bp. Agricultural activities occurred since the Neolithic and intensified after c. 7,000 cal bp. Around 2,750 cal bp, a further decline of fire incidence and Erica communities occurred, while Quercus ilex expanded and open-land communities became more abundant. This vegetation shift coincided with the historically documented beginning of Phoenician period, which was followed by Punic and Roman civilizations in Sardinia. The vegetational change at around 2,750 cal bp was possibly advantaged by a further shift to moister and cooler summers and drier and milder winters. Triggers for climate changes at 5,300 and 2,750 cal bp may have been gradual, orbitally-induced changes in summer and winter insolation, as well as centennial-scale atmospheric reorganizations. Open evergreen broadleaved forests persisted until the twentieth century, when they were partly substituted by widespread artificial pine plantations. Our results imply that highly flammable Erica vegetation, as reconstructed for the mid-Holocene, could re-emerge as a dominant vegetation type due to increasing drought and fire, as anticipated under global change conditions. 相似文献

The present work investigated the in vitro effects of isovaleric acid (IVA) and isovalerylglycine (IVG), which accumulate in isovaleric acidemia (IVAcidemia), on important parameters of oxidative stress in supernatants and mitochondrial preparations from brain of 30-day-old rats. IVG, but not IVA, significantly increased TBA-RS and chemiluminescence values in cortical supernatants. Furthermore, the addition of free radical scavengers fully prevented IVG-induced increase of TBA-RS. IVG also decreased GSH concentrations, whereas IVA did not modify this parameter in brain supernatants. Furthermore, IVG did not alter lipid peroxidation or GSH concentrations in mitochondrial preparations, indicating that the generation of oxidants by IVG was dependent on cytosolic mechanisms. On the other hand, IVA significantly induced carbonyl formation both in supernatants and purified mitochondrial preparations from rat brain, with no effect observed for IVG. Therefore, it is presumed that oxidative damage may be at least in part involved in the pathophysiology of the neuropathology of IVAcidemia. 相似文献

A series of substituted benzoylamino-2-[(4-benzyl)thio]-1,3,4-thiadiazoles has been discovered as potent Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Molecular docking simulations on the Abl tyrosine kinase were conducted in order to rationalize the SAR of the synthesized inhibitors. The most active compound identified from the enzymatic screening (6a) showed interesting inhibitory activity on Imatinib-sensitive murine myeloid 3B clone and Bcr-Abl-independent Imatinib-resistant leukemia cells. Surprisingly, 6a was also proved to act as differentiating inducers in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). 相似文献

Insulin expression in the thymus has been implicated in regulating the negative selection of autoreactive T cells and in mediating the central immune tolerance towards pancreatic β‐cells. To further explore the function of this ectopic insulin expression, we knocked out the mouse Ins2 gene specifically in the Aire‐expressing medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs), without affecting its expression in the β‐cells. When further crossed to the Ins1 knockout background, both male and female pups (designated as ID‐TEC mice for insulin‐deleted mTEC) developed diabetes spontaneously around 3 weeks after birth. β‐cell‐specific autoimmune destruction was observed, as well as islet‐specific T cell infiltration. The presence of insulin‐specific effector T cells was shown using ELISPOT assays and adoptive T cell transfer experiments. Results from thymus transplantation experiments proved further that depletion of Ins2 expression in mTECs was sufficient to break central tolerance and induce anti‐insulin autoimmunity. Our observations may explain the rare cases of type 1 diabetes onset in very young children carrying diabetes‐resistant HLA class II alleles. ID‐TEC mice could serve as a new model for studying this pathology. 相似文献
