Abstract
It has been reported that mannose exerts antitumour effects against certain types of cancer. The present study was designed to evaluate whether mannose exerted potential anticancer effects on A549 and H1299 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in vitro, which has not been reported previously. A Cell Counting Kit-8 cell viability assay was used to assess the antiproliferative effects of mannose on NSCLC cells. Flow cytometry-based methods were used to evaluate the effects of mannose on the cell cycle distribution and cisplatin-mediated apoptosis of NSCLC cells. Transwell migration and invasion assays were conducted to examine whether mannose could inhibit the invasive abilities of NSCLC cells. The effects of mannose on the PI3K/AKT and ERK signalling pathways were explored through western blot analysis assessing the expression of phosphorylated (p)-AKT and p-ERK1/2. It was found that mannose showed potential anticancer effects against NSCLC cells in vitro by inhibiting proliferation, inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, promoting cisplatin-induced apoptosis and decreasing the invasive abilities. These data indicate the potential anticancer properties of mannose and suggest the application of mannose-based therapies to treat NSCLC.

Abstract
Organ constructs are organ-like structures grown in vitro or in vivo that harbor the components, architecture, and function of in vivo organs, in part or in toto. The convergence of stem cell biology, bioengineering, and gene editing tools have substantially broadened our ability to generate various types of organ constructs for regenerative medicine as well as to address pressing biomedical questions. In this Review, we highlight prevailing approaches for generating organ constructs, from organoids to chimeric organ engineering. We also discuss design principles of different approaches, their utility and limitations, and propose strategies to resolve existing hurdles.

Design of light/ROS cascade-responsive tumor-recognizing nanotheranostics for spatiotemporally controlled drug release in locoregional photo-chemotherapy. Acta Biomater 2020; 111:327-340. [PMID: 32434075 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.04.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2020] [Revised: 04/27/2020] [Accepted: 04/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Carrier-free nanotheranostics with high drug loading and no carrier-related toxicity are highly promising cancer therapy agents. However, the limited tumor accumulation and poorly controlled drug release of these nanotheranostics continue to be major challenges that restrict clinical applications. In this study, we develop a tumor-recognizing carrier-free nanotheranostic with light/reactive oxygen species (ROS) cascade-responsiveness for spatiotemporally selective photo-chemotherapy. The nanotheranostic is constructed by co-assembly of the indocyanine green (ICG) photosensitizer and the mannose-thioketal-doxorubicin conjugate (MAN-TK-DOX) (abbreviated as IMTD), efficiently preventing premature DOX leakage during blood circulation while reducing nonspecific damage to normal tissues/cells. Once accumulated in tumor tissues, IMTD rapidly diffuses into cancer cells via lectin receptors-mediated endocytosis. Photoacoustic/fluorescence-imaging-guided laser irradiation induces local hyperthermia and ROS generation in tumor cells, thereby promoting apoptosis. Together, the ICG-generated ROS and the endogenous ROS in cancer cells synergistically enhance DOX release, resulting in more efficient chemotherapeutic effects. The in vitro and in vivo results consistently demonstrate that IMTD achieves superior tumor accumulation, highly controllable drug release, and synergetic photo-chemotherapy. Therefore, the co-assembly of an ROS-sensitive targeting ligand-chemodrug conjugate and a photosensitizer could be used to develop spatiotemporally light-activatable nanotheranostics for precision cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Synergistic phototherapy and chemotherapy have been considered as a promising cancer treatment modality to maximize the therapeutic efficacy. Unfortunately, most nanodrugs consisting of chemotherapeutic drug and photosensitizer suffer from suboptimal tumor accumulation and poorly controlled drug release, which results in reduced therapeutic outcome. In this study, Mannose (MAN) was conjugated to the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) by a ROS-sensitive thioketal linker (TK), the obtained amphiphilic MAN-TK-DOX could serve as an ideal self-carrier material to deliver photosensitizer, thus to achieve high-efficient tumor-targeting, spatiotemporal controlled drug release, and superior antitumor effect. We believe that the ROS-sensitive amphiphilic targeting ligand-chemodrug conjugate could be developed as a universal approach for designing tumor-targeted nanodrugs with precisely controlled drug release.

Abstract
In this preliminary study, the acidic hydrolysate fingerprints of polysaccharides based on hydrophilic-interaction chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection-electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HILIC-ELSD/ESI-TOF/MS) combined with multivariate statistical analysis was developed and applied to investigate the quality of Ganoderma lucidum from different regions. Projection-to-latent-structure discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) could distinguish samples of Zhejiang regions from those of other regions. Orthogonal-projection-to-latent-structure discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) provided clear discrimination between G. lucidum samples cultivated in Zhejiang and that from other regions, in which Polysaccharides and D-galactose could be considered as candidate biomarkers. In addition, the intraspecific differentiation of G. lucidum was preliminarily investigated with samples from Shaanxi region. They were classified into four groups by PCA and PLS-DA, in which L-rhamnose, D-xylose, L-arabinose, and mannose were considered as potential chemical markers. These preliminary results contributed to our understanding of the variance of polysaccharides in Ganoderma spp. from different geographic origins and the intraspecific differentiation from the same region, which suggest great potential in the quality control of Ganoderma spp.

Abstract
The concept that dietary changes could improve the response to cancer therapy is extremely attractive to many patients, who are highly motivated to take control of at least some aspect of their treatment. Growing insight into cancer metabolism is highlighting the importance of nutrient supply to tumor development and therapeutic response. Cancers show diverse metabolic requirements, influenced by factors such as tissue of origin, microenvironment, and genetics. Dietary modulation will therefore need to be matched to the specific characteristics of both cancers and treatment, a precision approach requiring a detailed understanding of the mechanisms that determine the metabolic vulnerabilities of each cancer.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) causes annually well over 400,000 deaths world-wide and remains one of the major unresolved health problems. This exocrine pancreatic cancer originates from the mutated epithelial cells: acinar and ductal cells. However, the epithelia-derived cancer component forms only a relatively small fraction of the tumor mass. The majority of the tumor consists of acellular fibrous stroma and diverse populations of the non-neoplastic cancer-associated cells. Importantly, the tumor microenvironment is maintained by dynamic cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In this article, we aim to review the most common drivers of PDAC. Then we summarize the current knowledge on PDAC microenvironment, particularly in relation to pancreatic cancer therapy. The focus is placed on the acellular stroma as well as cell populations that inhabit the matrix. We also describe the altered metabolism of PDAC and characterize cellular signaling in this cancer.

Abstract
Cellular starvation is typically a consequence of tissue injury that disrupts the local blood supply but can also occur where cell populations outgrow the local vasculature, as observed in solid tumors. Cells react to nutrient deprivation by adapting their metabolism, or, if starvation is prolonged, it can result in cell death. Cell starvation also triggers adaptive responses, like angiogenesis, that promote tissue reorganization and repair, but other adaptive responses and their mediators are still poorly characterized. To explore this issue, we analyzed secretomes from glucose-deprived cells, which revealed up-regulation of multiple cytokines and chemokines, including IL-6 and IL-8, in response to starvation stress. Starvation-induced cytokines were cell type-dependent, and they were also released from primary epithelial cells. Most cytokines were up-regulated in a manner dependent on NF-κB and the transcription factor of the integrated stress response ATF4, which bound directly to the IL-8 promoter. Furthermore, glutamine deprivation, as well as the antimetabolic drugs 2-deoxyglucose and metformin, also promoted the release of IL-6 and IL-8. Finally, some of the factors released from starved cells induced chemotaxis of B cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, suggesting that nutrient deprivation in the tumor environment can serve as an initiator of tumor inflammation.

Abstract
Background: D-mannose exhibits strong anti-inflammatory properties, but whether it has beneficial effects on preventing and treating osteoporosis remains unknown. Methods: Female, 12-month-old senile C57BL6/J mice (s-Man group) and 8-week-old ovariectomized C57BL6/J mice (OVX-Man group) were treated with D-mannose in drinking water for 2 months (six mice/group). Microcomputed tomography analysis and hematoxylin and eosin staining were performed to investigate the effect of D-mannose on attenuation of bone loss. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining of tissue sections, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and gut microbiome biodiversity tests were used to explore the underlying mechanisms. Results: D-mannose-induced marked increases in cortical bone volume and trabecular bone microarchitecture in the s-Man and OVX-Man group compared with that in the s-CTRL (senile control) and OVX group, respectively. Moreover, D-mannose downregulated osteoclastogenesis-related cytokines in the bone marrow and expanded regulatory T cells in the spleen of mice. Furthermore, D-mannose reconstructed the gut microbiota and changed the metabolite composition. Conclusion: D-mannose attenuated bone loss induced by senility and estrogen deficiency in mice, and this effect may be mediated by D-mannose-induced proliferation of regulatory T cells and gut microbiota-dependent anti-inflammatory effects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It has been found that mannose exerts antitumoural properties in vitro and in animal models. Whether mannose has potential anti-proliferative and anti-metastatic properties against non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. METHODS Here, we performed ex vivo experiments and established a nude mouse model to evaluate the anticancer effects of mannose on NSCLC cells and its effects on the ERK/GSK-3β/β-catenin/SNAIL axis. A CCK-8 assay was conducted to evaluate the effects of mannose on lung cancer cells (A549 and HCC827) and normal lung cells (HPAEpiC). Transwells were used to examine the motility of cancer cells. qRT-PCR was used to evaluate the effects of mannose on the mRNA expression of β-catenin. Western blotting was conducted to explore the effects of mannose on the ERK/GSK-3β/β-catenin/SNAIL axis and nuclear accumulation of β-catenin. An animal model was established to evaluate the antitumoural effect of mannose on hepatic metastasis in vivo. RESULTS In this study, we found that mannose inhibited the proliferation of A549 and HCC827 cells in vitro both time- and dose-dependently. However, it exerted only a slight influence on the viability of normal lung cells in vitro. Moreover, mannose also inhibited the migrating and invading capacity of NSCLC cells in vitro. Using Western blotting, we observed that mannose reduced SNAIL and β-catenin expression and ERK activation and promoted phospho-GSK-3β expression. The ERK agonist LM22B-10 promoted the metastatic ability of NSCLC cells and increased SNAIL and β-catenin expression in cancer cells, which could be reversed by mannose. Furthermore, ERK-mediated phosphorylation of the β-catenin-Tyr654 residue might participate in the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin and its transcriptional function. The results from animal experiments showed that mannose effectively reduced hepatic metastasis of A549 cells in vivo. Furthermore, mannose inhibited ERK/GSK-3β/β-catenin/SNAIL in tumour tissues obtained from nude mice. DISCUSSION Collectively, these findings suggest that mannose exerts anti-metastatic activity against NSCLC by inhibiting the activation of the ERK/GSK-3β/β-catenin/SNAIL axis, which indicates the potential anticancer effects of mannose.

Abstract
Monocyte rolling, adhesion, and transmigration across the endothelium are mediated by specific interactions between surface adhesion molecules. This process is fundamental to innate immunity and to inflammatory disease, including atherosclerosis, where monocyte egress into the intimal space is central to formation of fatty plaques. Monocytes are a heterogeneous population of three distinct subsets of cells, all of which play different roles in atherosclerosis progression. However, it is not well understood how interactions between different monocyte subsets and the endothelium are regulated. Furthermore, it is appreciated that endothelial adhesion molecules are heavily N-glycosylated, but beyond regulating protein trafficking to the cell surface, whether and if so how these N-glycans contribute to monocyte recruitment is not known. This review discusses how changes in endothelial N-glycosylation may impact vascular and monocytic inflammation. It will also discuss how regulating N-glycoforms on the endothelial surface may allow for the recruitment of specific monocyte subsets to sites of inflammation, and how further understanding in this area may lead to the development of glyco-specific therapeutics in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide converts immunosuppressive macrophages into M1-like phenotype and activates T lymphocytes by inhibiting the PD-L1/PD-1 axis between TAMs and T lymphocytes. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 150:261-280.

Abstract
Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) inhibit the killing effect of T lymphocytes on tumour cells through the immunocheckpoint programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1)/programmed death-1 (PD-1) axis. TAMs-targeted therapy is a promising approach that could be used to reverse the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment. Here, we further report CMPB90-1, a novel natural polysaccharide from Cordyceps militaris, could function as an anti-tumour modulator that resets TAMs from a tumour-promoting M2 phenotype to a tumour-killing M1 phenotype. This process involves reversing the functional inhibition of T lymphocytes by inhibiting the PD-L1/PD-1 axis between TAMs and T lymphocytes. Mechanistically, the membrane receptor of CMPB90-1 binding to M2 macrophages was identified by tandem mass spectrometry. CMPB90-1 converts immunosuppressive TAMs via binding to toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), which causes the release of Ca2+ and the activation of p38, Akt and NF-κB, or ERK. This process then leads to the polarization of TAMs from M2 phenotype to the M1 phenotype. In vivo experiment shows that CMPB90-1 is able to polarize TAMs into the M1 phenotype and has anti-tumour effects with improved safety. Additionally, the anti-tumour effects of CMPB90-1 in vivo depend on the phenotypic conversion of TAMs. The results demonstrated that CMPB90-1 could be developed as a potential immune-oncology treatment reagent.

Abstract
Mannooligosaccharides (MOS) were derived using Aspergillus oryzae β-mannanase (ManAo) from different mannan-rich agro-wastes, palm kernel cake (PKC), guar gum and copra meal (CM). Guar gum (GG) released higher amount of MOS (56.31% w/w) from which purification of mannobiose (0.68 mg) and mannotriose (1.26 mg) was demonstrated using size-exclusion chromatography. FTIR analysis of mannan hydrolysates showed characteristic peaks in 1200-900 cm-1 region indicating the presence of MOS. 1H &13C NMR spectra showed presence of anomeric sugar forms of MOS in different mannan hydrolysates. MOS from locust bean gum and guar gum had both α- and β-anomers while PKC and CM had only α-anomer. Growth promotional activities of different MOS were demonstrated using two probiotic Lactobacilli. Besides, enzymatically derived MOS also showed metal (Fe2+) chelating and anti-oxidant activities, wherein best anti-glycating agent was evaluated as MOS from PKC. PKC derived MOS showed highest cytotoxicity (74.19%) against human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco-2). This study demonstrated the prebiotic potential of agro-waste derived MOS and possibility of their utilization as a functional food ingredient.

Abstract
Yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) has been an economically important freshwater species in China because of its good meat quality. In present, the high-density breeding industry has suffered great damage from bacterial infections, in especial, the rapid illness and death of fish caused by bacterial septicemia leads to huge economic losses. Therefore, it is urgent and important to identify pathogenic bacteria and study its pathogenicity. In this study, we isolated a bacterial strain from the yellow catfish with typical septicemia and named it E. 719, then, by morphological observations, regression infection, biochemical identification, 16S rDNA sequence analysis and triple PCR identification, E. 719 was determined to be Edwardsiella ictaluri. Further, we infected yellow catfish with E. ictaluri to study its effects on mortality rate, hematological, histopathological disturbances and expression of immune genes. The mortality results showed that E. ictaluri was highly pathogenic, all infected fish died after 14 days post injection, and the distribution of bacteria in body kidney, spleen, liver, head kidney and brain of fish was continuously detected by measuring the amount of bacteria in the tissues. In addition, the number of red blood cells decreased significantly with the time of infection, while the number of white blood cells and thrombocytes increased. In particular, the number of monocytes and neutrophils increased significantly in the differential leucocyte count (DLC). Histopathologic changes observed by HE staining showed similar results, gill, intestine, spleen and head kidney showed obvious inflammation, bleeding and necrosis. Besides, checking by real time quantitative RT-PCR assays, in both spleen and head kidney tissues which were the major immune organs, mRNA expressions of immune gene IL-1β, TNF-α, and MR significantly increased in the early and middle stages of infection, which suggested that the infection of E. ictaluri caused a strong immune response in yellow catfish. This study provides a preliminary basis for the diagnosis and treatment of pathophysiology septicemia in yellow catfish induced by E. ictaluri.

Abstract
Glycomics refers to the comprehensive analysis of glycans. Recent progress in glycotechnology enables the determination of a variety of biological functions of glycans. Among different glycosylation patterns, certain types of aberrant glycosylation are linked to cancer and/or inflammation, and thus have biological importance. Glycotechnology has been applied to many fields of medical science, including hepatology. In particular, dramatic changes in glycosylation are observed in the progression of liver diseases. As the liver produces so many serum glycoproteins, changes in glycosylation of these proteins might provide useful disease biomarkers. Furthermore, many patients with genetic diseases of glycosylation who have liver dysfunction have been found as a result from whole genome sequencing, and various kinds of glycotherapy have been developed, especially in immunotherapy. In this review, we describe our basic knowledge of glycobiology and discuss the application of these data to medical science, especially hepatology.

Abstract
Migraine is a very common, multifactorial, and recurrent central nervous system disorder that causes throbbing headache, photophobia, phonophobia, nausea, and disability. Migraine occurs more often in females, and its complex physiopathology is not yet fully understood. An increasing number of gastrointestinal disorders have been linked to the occurrence of migraine suggesting that gut microbiota might play a pivotal role in migraine through the gut–brain axis. In the present work, we performed a metagenome-wide association study (MWAS) to determine the relationship between gut microbiota and migraine by analyzing 108 shotgun-sequenced fecal samples obtained from elderly women who suffer from migraine and matched healthy controls. Notably, the alpha diversity was significantly decreased in the migraine group at species, genus, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) orthologous levels. Firmicutes, especially the “unfriendly” Clostridium spp., were significantly enriched in the migraine group. Conversely, the healthy controls held more beneficial microorganisms, such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, and Methanobrevibacter smithii. For functional modules, the migraine group was enriched in gut–brain modules (GBMs) including kynurenine degradation and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis. However, the healthy controls held higher gut metabolic modules (GMMs) including glycolysis, homoacetogenesis, and GBMs including quinolinic acid degradation and S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) synthesis. The differences in gut microbiota composition and function between the migraine and healthy groups provided new information as well as novel therapeutic targets and strategies for migraine treatment, which could help to improve the early diagnosis of the disease, as well as the long-term prognosis and the life quality of patients suffering from migraine.

Abstract
Mannose is a glucose-associated serum metabolite mainly released by the liver. Recent studies have shown several unexpected pleiotropic effects of mannose including increased regulatory T cells (Tregs), prevention of auto-immune disease and ability to reduce growth of human cancer cells. We have previously shown in large cohorts that elevated serum mannose levels are associated with future development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease. However, potential direct effects of mannose on insulin sensitivity in vivo or in vitro are unknown. We here show that administration of mannose (0.1 g/kg BW twice daily) for one week in man did not elicit negative effects on meal-modified glucose tolerance, markers of inflammation or insulin levels. Tregs number and insulin signaling in human liver cells were unchanged. These data suggest that mannose is a marker, and not a mediator, of insulin resistance. To verify this, we examined serum mannose levels during long-term euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps in non-diabetic and T2D individuals. Mannose was reduced by insulin infusion in proportion to whole-body insulin sensitivity. Thus, mannose is a biomarker of insulin resistance which may be useful for the early identification of diabetic individuals with insulin resistance and increased risk of its complications.

Abstract
Local photothermal hyperthermia for tumor ablation and specific stimuliresponsive gas therapy feature the merits of remote operation, noninvasive intervention, and in situ tumor-specific activation in cancer-therapeutic biomedicine. Inspired by synergistic/sequential therapeutic modality, herein a novel therapeutic modality is reported based on the construction of two-dimensional (2D) core/shell-structured Nb2C-MSNs-SNO composite nanosheets for photonic thermogaseous therapy. A phototriggered thermogas-generating nanoreactor is designed via mesoporous silica layer coating on the surface of Nb2C MXene nanosheets, where the mesopores provide the reservoirs for NO donor (S-nitrosothiol (RSNO)), and the core of Nb2C produces heat shock upon second near-infrared biowindow (NIR-II) laser irradiation. The Nb2C-MSNs-SNO-enabled photonic thermogaseous therapy undergoes a sequential process of phototriggered heat production from the core of Nb2C and thermotriggered NO generation, together with photoacoustic-imaging (PAI) guidance and monitoring. The constructed Nb2C-MSNs-SNO nanoreactors exhibit high-NIR-induced photothermal effect, intense NIR-controlled NO release, and desirable PAI performance. Based on these unique theranostic properties of Nb2C-MSNs-SNO nanocomposites, sequential photonic thermogaseous therapy with limited systematic toxicity on efficiently suppressing tumor growth is achieved by PAI-guided NIR-controlled NO release as well as heat generation. Such a thermogaseous approach representes a stimuli-selective strategy for synergistic/sequential cancer treatment.

Abstract
The growing burden of liver fibrosis and lack of effective antifibrotic therapies highlight the need for identification of pathways and complementary model systems of hepatic fibrosis. A rare, monogenic disorder in which children with mutations in mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI) develop liver fibrosis led us to explore the function of MPI and mannose metabolism in liver development and adult liver diseases. Herein, analyses of transcriptomic data from three human liver cohorts demonstrate that MPI gene expression is down-regulated proportionate to fibrosis in chronic liver diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and hepatitis B virus. Depletion of MPI in zebrafish liver in vivo and in human hepatic stellate cell (HSC) lines in culture activates fibrotic responses, indicating that loss of MPI promotes HSC activation. We further demonstrate that mannose supplementation can attenuate HSC activation, leading to reduced fibrogenic activation in zebrafish, culture-activated HSCs, and in ethanol-activated HSCs. Conclusion: These data indicate the prospect that modulation of mannose metabolism pathways could reduce HSC activation and improve hepatic fibrosis.

Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) has been confirmed to be the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and the second in females. We investigated the blood plasma metabolome in CRC patients and in healthy adults to elucidate the role of monosaccharides, amino acids, and their respective metabolic pathways as prognostic factors in patients with CRC. Methods Fifteen patients with CRC and nine healthy adults were enrolled in the study and their blood plasma samples analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Univariate Student's t-test, multivariate principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were conducted on MetaboAnalyst 4.0. The analysis of metabolic profiles was carried out by the web-based extension Metabolite Sets Enrichment Analysis (MSEA). Results Overall, 125 metabolites were identified in plasma samples by GC-MS. In CRC patient samples, nine metabolites, including D-mannose and fructose, were significantly more abundant than in controls; conversely, eleven amino derivatives were less abundant, including methionine, valine, lysine, and proline. Methionine was significantly less abundant in died patients compared with survivors. The most significantly altered metabolic pathways in CRC patients are those involving monosaccharides (primarily the catabolic pathway of fructose and D-mannose), and amino acids (primarily methionine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine). Conclusions The abundance of D-mannose in CRC patient samples contributes to inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, while the abundance of fructose may be consistent either with low consumption of fructose by aerobic glycolysis within cancer cells or with a high bioavailability of fructose from diet. The reduction in methionine concentration may be related to increased activity of the threonine and methionine catabolic pathways, confirmed by high levels of α-hydroxybutyrate.

Abstract
Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are an essential kind of protein that exists in the neuron and are responsible for glucose transport. In the present study, we performed molecular dynamic simulations to deeply understand the glucose uptake mechanism. According to our results, we reconstruct the glucose uptake model of the GLUT3, which is similar to the working model of GLUTs raised by Yan et al., and find a new intermediate state ( Yan, N., et al. ( 2015 ) Molecular basis of ligand recognition and transport by glucose transporters , Nature 526 , 391 - 396 ). In addition, we discover the bottleneck residues for the protein conformational switch. Water molecules are also important for the conformational switch by influencing the hydrogen bond networks of the glucose-protein complex, which can cause the obvious rearrangement of corresponding transmembrane segments. Our findings may shed light on the glucose uptake process of this key neuronic transmembrane protein and the functional relationships between the multiple intermediate states.

Hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate MRI detects real-time metabolic flux in prostate cancer metastases to bone and liver: a clinical feasibility study. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2019; 23:269-276. [PMID: 31685983 PMCID: PMC7196510 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-019-0180-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2019] [Revised: 10/10/2019] [Accepted: 10/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Background Hyperpolarized (HP) 13C-pyruvate MRI is a stable-isotope molecular imaging modality that provides real-time assessment of the rate of metabolism through glycolytic pathways in human prostate cancer. Heretofore this imaging modality has been successfully utilized in prostate cancer only in localized disease. This pilot clinical study investigated the feasibility and imaging performance of HP 13C-pyruvate MR metabolic imaging in prostate cancer patients with metastases to the bone and/or viscera. Methods Six patients who had metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer were recruited. Carbon-13 MR examination were conducted on a clinical 3T MRI following injection of 250 mM hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate, where pyruvate-to-lactate conversion rate (kPL) was calculated. Paired metastatic tumor biopsy was performed with histopathological and RNA-seq analyses. Results We observed a high rate of glycolytic metabolism in prostate cancer metastases, with a mean kPL value of 0.020 ± 0.006 (s−1) and 0.026 ± 0.000 (s−1) in bone (N = 4) and liver (N = 2) metastases, respectively. Overall, high kPL showed concordance with biopsy-confirmed high-grade prostate cancer including neuroendocrine differentiation in one case. Interval decrease of kPL from 0.026 at baseline to 0.015 (s−1) was observed in a liver metastasis 2 months after the initiation of taxane plus platinum chemotherapy. RNA-seq found higher levels of the lactate dehydrogenase isoform A (Ldha,15.7 ± 0.7) expression relative to the dominant isoform of pyruvate dehydrogenase (Pdha1, 12.8 ± 0.9). Conclusions HP 13C-pyruvate MRI can detect real-time glycolytic metabolism within prostate cancer metastases, and can measure changes in quantitative kPL values following treatment response at early time points. This first feasibility study supports future clinical studies of HP 13C-pyruvate MRI in the setting of advanced prostate cancer.

Abstract
To aid in generating complex and diverse natural glycan libraries for functional glycomics, more efficient and reliable methods are needed to derivatize glycans. Here we present our development of a reversible, cleavable bifunctional linker 3-(methoxyamino)propylamine (MAPA). As the fluorenylmethyloxycarbonate (Fmoc) version (F-MAPA), it is highly fluorescent and efficiently derivatizes free reducing glycans to generate closed-ring derivatives that preserve the structural integrity of glycans. A library of glycans were derivatized and used to generate a covalent glycan microarray using N-hydroxysuccinimide derivatization. The array was successfully interrogated by a variety of lectins and antibodies, demonstrating the importance of closed-ring chemistry. The glycan derivatization was also performed at large scale using milligram quantities of glycans and excess F-MAPA, and the reaction system was successfully recycled up to five times, without an apparent decrease in conjugation efficiency. The MAPA-glycan is also easy to link to protein to generate neoglycoproteins with equivalent glycan densities. Importantly, the MAPA linker can be reversibly cleaved to regenerate free reducing glycans for detailed structural analysis (catch-and-release), often critical for functional studies of undefined glycans from natural sources. The high conjugation efficiency, bright fluorescence, and reversible cleavage of the linker enable access to natural glycans for functional glycomics.

Abstract
Mannose has been reported as a novel drug to kill cancer cells. The prodrug of mannose will promote its targeted delivery and enrichment at the tumor site and cancer cells. Here, a pH-sensitive polypeptide copolymer with a tertiary amine group has been prepared and a mannose molecule was conjugated to the polymer through the formation of a Schiff base. At the same time, an iodinated boron dipyrromethene (BDPI) photosensitizer with high singlet oxygen generation efficacy and near infrared (NIR) fluorescence was encapsulated by the nanoparticles, which makes it a potential pH-sensitive NIR imaging-guided chemotherapy/PDT agent. In vitro and in vivo studies reveal that in a tumor acidic environment, the protonation of the tertiary amine group destroyed the nanostructure of the nanoparticles, resulting in increased BDPI release. Meanwhile, the bond cleavage of the Schiff base led to the release of conjugated mannose and synergistic inhibition of tumor cell growth with the PDT effect was realized. The combination of these two kinds of tumor suppression effects and photodynamic therapy made this pH-sensitive polypeptide delivery system show great potential for further cancer therapy.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal cancers, with a five-year survival rate of around 5% to 8%. To date, very few available drugs have been successfully used to treat PDAC due to the poor understanding of the tumor-specific features. One of the hallmarks of pancreatic cancer cells is the deregulated cellular energetics characterized by the “Warburg effect”. It has been known for decades that cancer cells have a dramatically increased glycolytic flux even in the presence of oxygen and normal mitochondrial function. Glycolytic flux is the central carbon metabolism process in all cells, which not only produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP) but also provides biomass for anabolic processes that support cell proliferation. Expression levels of glucose transporters and rate-limiting enzymes regulate the rate of glycolytic flux. Intermediates that branch out from glycolysis are responsible for redox homeostasis, glycosylation, and biosynthesis. Beyond enhanced glycolytic flux, pancreatic cancer cells activate nutrient salvage pathways, which includes autophagy and micropinocytosis, from which the generated sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids are used to buffer the stresses induced by nutrient deprivation. Further, PDAC is characterized by extensive metabolic crosstalk between tumor cells and cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In this review, we will give an overview on recent progresses made in understanding glucose metabolism-related deregulations in PDAC.

Abstract
Lipid Droplets (LDs) are emerging as crucial players in colon cancer development and maintenance. Their expression has been associated with high tumorigenicity in Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs), so that they have been proposed as a new functional marker in Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells (CR-CSCs). They are also indirectly involved in the modulation of the tumor microenvironment through the production of pro-inflammatory molecules. There is growing evidence that a possible connection between metabolic alterations and malignant transformation exists, although the effects of nutrients, primarily glucose, on the CSC behavior are still mostly unexplored. Glucose is an essential fuel for cancer cells, and the connections with LDs in the healthy and CSC populations merit to be more deeply investigated. Here, we showed that a high glucose concentration activated the PI3K/AKT pathway and increased the expression of CD133 and CD44v6 CSC markers. Additionally, glucose was responsible for the increased amount of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and LDs in both healthy and CR-CSC samples. We also investigated the gene modulations following the HG treatment and found out that the healthy cell gene profile was the most affected. Lastly, Atorvastatin, a lipid-lowering drug, induced the highest mortality on CR-CSCs without affecting the healthy counterpart.

Abstract
Zinc(II) complexes of curcumin display moderate cytotoxicity towards cancer cells at low micromolar concentrations. However, the clinical use of zinc(II) complexes is hampered by hydrolytic insolubility and poor bioavailability and their anticancer mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the efficacy and mechanism of action of a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-k30)-based solid dispersion of Zn(II)-curcumin (ZnCM-SD) against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vitro and in vivo. In vitro assays revealed ZnCM-SD not only reduced the viability of HepG2 cells and SK-HEP1 cells in a dose-dependent manner, but also potently and synergistically enhanced cell growth inhibition and cell death in response to doxorubicin by regulating cellular zinc homeostasis. ZnCM-SD was internalized into the cells via non-specific endocytosis and degraded to release curcumin and Zn2+ ions within cells. The anticancer effects also occur in vivo in animals following the oral administration of ZnCM-SD, without significantly affecting the weight of the animals. Interestingly, ZnCM-SD did not reduce tumor growth or affect zinc homeostasis in HepG2-bearing mice after gut microbiome depletion. Moreover, administration of ZnCM-SD alone or in combination with doxorubicin significantly attenuated gut dysbiosis and zinc dyshomeostasis in a rat HCC model. Notably, fecal microbiota transplantation revealed the ability of ZnCM-SD to regulate zinc homeostasis and act as a chemosensitizer for doxorubicin were dependent on the gut microbiota. The crucial role of the gut microbiota in the chemosensitizing ability of ZnCM-SD was confirmed by broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment. Collectively, ZnCM-SD could represent a simple, well-tolerated, safe, effective therapy and function as a novel chemosensitizing agent for cancer.

Abstract
Metformin is the first-line therapy for treating type 2 diabetes and a promising anti-aging drug. We set out to address the fundamental question of how gut microbes and nutrition, key regulators of host physiology, affect the effects of metformin. Combining two tractable genetic models, the bacterium E. coli and the nematode C. elegans, we developed a high-throughput four-way screen to define the underlying host-microbe-drug-nutrient interactions. We show that microbes integrate cues from metformin and the diet through the phosphotransferase signaling pathway that converges on the transcriptional regulator Crp. A detailed experimental characterization of metformin effects downstream of Crp in combination with metabolic modeling of the microbiota in metformin-treated type 2 diabetic patients predicts the production of microbial agmatine, a regulator of metformin effects on host lipid metabolism and lifespan. Our high-throughput screening platform paves the way for identifying exploitable drug-nutrient-microbiome interactions to improve host health and longevity through targeted microbiome therapies.

Abstract
Oral drug delivery systems (ODDSs) have attracted considerable attention in relation to orthotopic colon cancer therapy due to certain popular advantages. Unfortunately, their clinical applications are generally limited by the side-effects caused by systemic drug exposure and poor real-time monitoring capabilities. Inspired by the characteristics of pH changes of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and specific enzymes secreted by the colonic microflora, we anchored polyacrylic acid (PAA) and chitosan (CS) on Gd3+-doped mesoporous hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Gd-MHAp NPs) to realize programmed drug release and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the tumor sites. In particular, the grafted PAA, as a pH-responsive switch, could effect controlled drug release in the colon. Further, CS is functionalized as the enzyme-sensitive moiety, which could be degraded by β-glycosidase in the colon. Gadolinium is a paramagnetic lanthanide element used in chelates, working as a contrast medium agent for an MRI system. Interestingly, after oral administration, CS and PAA could protect the drug-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) against variable physiological conditions in the GIT, allowing the drug to reach the colon tumor sites, preventing premature drug release. Enhanced drug concentrations at the colon tumor sites were achieved via this programmed drug release, which subsequently ameliorated the therapeutic effect. In addition, encapsulating both chemotherapeutic (5-fluorouracil, 5-FU) and targeted therapy drug (gefitinib, Gef) within Gd-MHAp NPs produced a synergistic therapeutic effect. In summary, this study demonstrated that such a novel drug system (Gd-MHAp/5-FU/Gef/CS/PAA NPs) could protect, transport, and program drug release locally within the colonic environment; further, this system exhibited a worthwhile therapeutic effect, providing a promising novel treatment strategy for orthotopic colon cancer.

Abstract
Tumor metabolism and its specific alterations have become an integral part of understanding functional alterations leading to malignant transformation and maintaining cancer progression. Here, we review the metabolic changes in B-cell neoplasia, focusing on the effects of tumor metabolism on the tumor microenvironment (TME). Particularly, innate and adaptive immune responses are regulated by metabolites in the TME such as lactate. With steadily increasing therapeutic options implicating or utilizing the TME, it has become essential to address the metabolic alterations in B-cell malignancy for therapeutic approaches. In this review, we discuss metabolic alterations of B-cell lymphoma, consequences for currently used therapy regimens, and novel approaches specifically targeting metabolism in the TME.

Abstract
The cell membrane plays an important role in protecting the cell from its extracellular environment. As such, extensive work has been devoted to studying its structure and function. Crucial intercellular processes, such as signal transduction and immune protection, are mediated by cell surface glycosylation, which is comprised of large biomolecules, including glycoproteins and glycosphingolipids. Because perturbations in glycosylation could result in dysfunction of cells and are related to diseases, the analysis of surface glycosylation is critical for understanding pathogenic mechanisms and can further lead to biomarker discovery. Different mass spectrometry-based techniques have been developed for glycan analysis, ranging from highly specific, targeted approaches to more comprehensive profiling studies. In this review, we summarized the work conducted for extensive analysis of cell membrane glycosylation, particularly those employing liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in combination with various sample preparation techniques.

Abstract
Recently, rare sugars have caused extensively attention due to their beneficial physiological functions and potential applications in food systems and medical fields. Ketose 3-epimerase (KEase) can catalyze reversibly the epimerization between ketoses which is the pivotal enzyme in Izumoring strategy and an effective tool for biological production of rare sugars. In this work, a KEase from Caballeronia fortuita was recombined and characterized as a d-tagatose 3-epimerase (DTEase, EC 5.1.3.31). The recombinant DTEase displayed the highest activity at pH7.5 and 65°C in the presence of Co2+. The recombinant DTEase displayed the relatively high thermostability and the half-life (t1/2) was determined to be 7.13, 5.13, and 1.05h at 50, 55, and 60°C, respectively. The recombinant DTEase had a wide substrate specificity and the specific activities towards d-tagatose, d-allulose, d-fructose and l-sorbose were measured to be 801±2.3, 450±2.7, 270±1.5 and 55±1.8Umg-1, respectively. So far, the recombinant DTEase exhibited the highest specific activity towards d-tagatose compared with other reported KEases. Furthermore, the recombinant DTEase could produce 314.2g/L d-sorbose from 500g/L d-tagatose and 147.0g/L d-allulose from 500g/L d-fructose, with a transformation ratio of 68.2% and 29.4%, respectively. The recombinant DTEase could realize effectively the transformations between various ketoses and was a prominent candidate for production of rare sugars.

Abstract
Many neurotoxicants affect energy metabolism in man, but currently available test methods may still fail to predict mito- and neurotoxicity. We addressed this issue using LUHMES cells, i.e., human neuronal precursors that easily differentiate into mature neurons. Within the NeuriTox assay, they have been used to screen for neurotoxicants. Our new approach is based on culturing the cells in either glucose or galactose (Glc-Gal-NeuriTox) as the main carbohydrate source during toxicity testing. Using this Glc-Gal-NeuriTox assay, 52 mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial toxicants were tested. The panel of chemicals comprised 11 inhibitors of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I (cI), 4 inhibitors of cII, 8 of cIII, and 2 of cIV; 8 toxicants were included as they are assumed to be mitochondrial uncouplers. In galactose, cells became more dependent on mitochondrial function, which made them 2-3 orders of magnitude more sensitive to various mitotoxicants. Moreover, galactose enhanced the specific neurotoxicity (destruction of neurites) compared to a general cytotoxicity (plasma membrane lysis) of the toxicants. The Glc-Gal-NeuriTox assay worked particularly well for inhibitors of cI and cIII, while the toxicity of uncouplers and non-mitochondrial toxicants did not differ significantly upon glucose ↔ galactose exchange. As a secondary assay, we developed a method to quantify the inhibition of all mitochondrial respiratory chain functions/complexes in LUHMES cells. The combination of the Glc-Gal-NeuriTox neurotoxicity screening assay with the mechanistic follow up of target site identification allowed both, a more sensitive detection of neurotoxicants and a sharper definition of the mode of action of mitochondrial toxicants.

Abstract
Metronomic chemotherapy, a relatively new dosing paradigm for anticancer therapy, is an alternative to traditional chemotherapy that uses maximal tolerated dose (MTD). Although these two dosing regimens both lead to tumor cell death, how cell metabolism is differentially affected during apoptosis remains elusive. Herein, we employed metabolomics to monitor the metabolic profiles of MCF-7 cells in response to the two dosing regimens that mimic MTD and MN treatments using a model chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin (Dox), and correlated the changes of metabolic genes examined by PCR array to integratively describe the reprogrammed metabolic patterns. We found glycolysis, amino acid, and nucleotide synthesis-associated metabolic pathways were activated in response to the MN treatment, whereas these pathways were inhibited in a pronounced way in response to the MTD treatment. Direct supplementation of key metabolites and pharmacological modulation of targeted metabolic enzymes can both regulate cell fates. Subsequently, we tested the combined use of MN dosing with targeted metabolic intervention using a normal cell line and found the combined treatment hardly affected its apoptotic rate. Our in vitro findings using MCF-7 and MCF-10A cells thus suggest the promising perspective of combining MN dosing of chemotherapeutic agents with metabolic modulation to selectively kill cancer cells rather than normal cells.

Abstract
Fructose is an important alternative carbon source for several tumors, and GLUT5 is the major fructose transporter which mediates most of fructose uptake in cells. So far, it is unclear whether GLUT5-mediated fructose utilization is important for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Here, we demonstrated that GLUT5 was highly expressed in a panel of ccRCC cell lines. High GLUT5 expression exacerbated the neoplastic phenotypes of ccRCC cells, including cell proliferation and colony formation. On the other hand, deletion of the GLUT5-encoding gene SLC2A5 dramatically attenuated cellular malignancy via activating the apoptotic pathway. Moreover, administration of 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol (2,5-AM), a competitive inhibitor of fructose uptake, could markedly suppress ccRCC cell growth. Together, we provide a new mechanistic insight for GLUT5-mediated fructose utilization in ccRCC cells and highlight the therapeutic potential for targeting this metabolic pathway against ccRCC.

Abstract
Probiotic bacteria exopolysaccharides (EPS) have been recognized as molecules that regulate immune development and have anti-inflammation and anticancer effects. Yet, these bioactivities are of interspecies diversity; thus, examining the gene clusters of EPS and biosynthesis pathways are essential for selecting the better application of specific EPS. In this study, we isolated a new Bifidobacterium strain, named B. breve lw01. A complete genome of B. breve lw01 was sequenced revealing a circular 2,313,172 bp chromosome. Furthermore, a deep excavation of genome sequence from different database based on the comparison-selected results was performed to explore the gene cluster responsible for EPS synthesis. We found that B. breve lw01 harbors a new EPS-encoding cluster with 14 predicted genes, which could be divided into three groups according to the biosynthesis pathway hypothesis. Using tertiary purification, high purity EPS were obtained. EPS is composed of rhamnose (Rha), arabinose (Ara), galactose (Gal), glucose (Glc), and mannose (Man) in a molar ratio of 0.35:0.44:1.38:0.67:1.65. With reference to its bioactivity, it showed to possess anticancer activity against Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma cell line by regulating cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis promotion. To sum up, this study examined the biosynthesis and bioactivity of EPS using a new isolated B. breve strain, which could be used to clarify its further application in functional food or drug industry.

Abstract
Carbohydrates make up the largest component of plant-based foods and have long been known to provide fuel. However, many carbohydrates possess intrinsic biological activities that are dictated by their structures. Carbohydrates are the most abundant biopolymers in nature and are also the most structurally complicated and diverse. Consequently, the structural analysis of carbohydrates remains severely limited. To further understand their biological activities, we need new analytical tools to analyze the different classes of carbohydrates that range in size from monosaccharides to polysaccharides. These tools must be capable of rapid throughput with highly sensitive quantitation for use in clinical studies that probe their fate in human and animal fluids and tissues.

Abstract
AMPK, a master regulator of metabolic homeostasis, is activated by both AMP-dependent and AMP-independent mechanisms. The conditions under which these different mechanisms operate, and their biological implications are unclear. Here, we show that, depending on the degree of elevation of cellular AMP, distinct compartmentalized pools of AMPK are activated, phosphorylating different sets of targets. Low glucose activates AMPK exclusively through the AMP-independent, AXIN-based pathway in lysosomes to phosphorylate targets such as ACC1 and SREBP1c, exerting early anti-anabolic and pro-catabolic roles. Moderate increases in AMP expand this to activate cytosolic AMPK also in an AXIN-dependent manner. In contrast, high concentrations of AMP, arising from severe nutrient stress, activate all pools of AMPK independently of AXIN. Surprisingly, mitochondrion-localized AMPK is activated to phosphorylate ACC2 and mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) only during severe nutrient stress. Our findings reveal a spatiotemporal basis for hierarchical activation of different pools of AMPK during differing degrees of stress severity.
