Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as a promising treatment option for antibacterial and biofilm eradication. However, their therapeutic efficacy is significantly hampered by the unique microenvironments of diabetic wounds. In this study, we designed and synthesized porphyrin-based Fe covalent organic frameworks (Fe-COF) through a Schiff base condensation reaction. Subsequently, Fe-COF were encapsulated with hyaluronic acid (HA) through electrostatic adsorption, resulting in a novel formulation named HA-Fe-COF for diabetic wound healing. HA-Fe-COF were engineered to respond to hyaluronidase in the infected wound, leading to the controlled release of Fe-COF. Those released Fe-COF served a dual role as photosensitizers, generating singlet oxygen and localized heating when exposed to dual light sources. Additionally, they acted as peroxidase-like nanozymes, facilitating the production of ROS through enzymatic reactions. This innovative approach enabled a synergistic therapeutic effect combining photodynamic, photothermal, and chemodynamic modalities. Furthermore, the sustained release of HA from HA-Fe-COF promoted angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization during the diabetic wound healing process. This "all-in-one" strategy offers a novel approach for the development of antimicrobial and biofilm eradication strategies that minimize damage to healthy tissues in vivo.

Wang K, Lu H, Zou M, Wang G, Zhao J, Huang X, Ren F, Hu H, Huang J, Min X. DegS protease regulates antioxidant capacity and adaptability to oxidative stress environment in Vibrio cholerae. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1290508. [PMID: 38053530 PMCID: PMC10694293 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1290508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Adaptation to oxidative stress is critical for survival of Vibrio cholerae in aquatic ecosystems and hosts. DegS activates the σE envelope stress response. We have previously revealed that DegS may be involved in regulating the oxidative stress response. In this study, we demonstrated that deletion of the degS gene attenuates the antioxidant capacity of V. cholerae. In addition, our results further revealed that the regulation of antioxidant capacity by DegS in V. cholerae could involve the cAMP-CRP complex, which regulates rpoS. XthA is an exonuclease that repairs oxidatively damaged cells and affects the bacterial antioxidant capacity. qRT-PCR showed that DegS, σE, cAMP, CRP, and RpoS positively regulate xthA gene transcription. XthA overexpression partially compensates for antioxidant deficiency in the degS mutant. These results suggest that DegS affects the antioxidant capacity of V.cholerae by regulating xthA expression via the cAMP-CRP-RpoS pathway. In a mouse intestinal colonization experiment, our data showed that V.cholerae degS, rpoE, and rpoS gene deletions were associated with significantly reduced resistance to oxidative stress and the ability to colonize the mouse intestine. In conclusion, these findings provide new insights into the regulation of antioxidant activity by V.cholerae DegS.

Microb Cell Fact 2023; 22:158. [PMID: 37596674 PMCID: PMC10436651 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-023-02160-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND During the production of L-arginine through high dissolved oxygen and nitrogen supply fermentation, the industrial workhorse Corynebacterium glutamicum is exposed to oxidative stress. This generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), which are harmful to the bacteria. To address the issue and to maintain redox homeostasis during fermentation, the flavohaemoprotein (Hmp) was employed. RESULTS The results showed that the overexpression of Hmp led to a decrease in ROS and RNS content by 9.4% and 22.7%, respectively, and improved the survivability of strains. When the strains were treated with H2O2 and NaNO2, the RT-qPCR analysis indicated an up-regulation of ammonium absorption and transporter genes amtB and glnD. Conversely, the deletion of hmp gives rise to the up-regulation of eight oxidative stress-related genes. These findings suggested that hmp is associated with oxidative stress and intracellular nitrogen metabolism genes. Finally, we released the inhibitory effect of ArnR on hmp. The Cc-ΔarnR-hmp strain produced 48.4 g/L L-arginine during batch-feeding fermentation, 34.3% higher than the original strain. CONCLUSIONS This report revealed the influence of dissolved oxygen and nitrogen concentration on reactive species of Corynebacterium glutamicum and the role of the Hmp in coping with oxidative stress. The Hmp first demonstrates related to redox homeostasis and nitrite metabolism, providing a feasible strategy for improving the robustness of strains.
