Sci Rep 2023; 13:18101. [PMID: 37872161 PMCID: PMC10593848 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-43071-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Pomacea canaliculata was by far one of the most harmful invasive organisms in the world, causing serious harm to aquatic crops and ecosystem. Calcium carbonate is a common component of aquatic environment, which is important for the growth of Pomacea canaliculata. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the response characteristics of P. canaliculata suffered shell breakage to the addition of calcium carbonate in water environment. In this experiment, we explored the effects of calcium carbonate addition on the P. canaliculata shell repair rate, food intake, egg production, shell strength, and calcium content through breaking the snails shell and the addition of calcium carbonate treatment. The results showed that snail broken-shell repaired mostly within 21 days. The snails experienced a significant increase in shell repair rates during earlier days of the treatment, especially for female snails. Food intake of snails exhibited different patterns when their shells were broken and calcium carbonate was added. Shell breakage treatment combined with calcium carbonate addition significantly increased the diameter of snail eggs compared with the control and the calcium carbonate addition treatment without shell-broken snail group. There was no significant difference in shell strength or calcium content of male snails between the treatments. The study suggests that P. canaliculata exhibits a sex-dependent response pattern when subjected to shell damage and calcium carbonate addition. The findings can provide some references to better understand the invasion mechanism and survival strategy of the P. canaliculata.

Direct control of shell regeneration by the mantle tissue in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata. J Struct Biol 2023; 215:107956.

Abstract
Molluscs rapidly repair the damaged shells to prevent further injury, which is vital for their survival after physical or biological aggression. However, it remains unclear how this process is precisely controlled. In this study, we applied scanning electronic microscopy and histochemical analysis to examine the detailed shell regeneration process in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata. It was found that the shell damage caused the mantle tissue to retract, which resulted in relocation of the partitioned mantle zones with respect to their correspondingly secreting shell layers. As a result, the relocated mantle tissue dramatically altered the shell morphology by initiating de novo precipitation of prismatic layers on the former nacreous layers, leading to the formation of sandwich-like "prism-nacre-prism-nacre" structure. Real-time PCR revealed the up-regulation of the shell matrix protein genes, which was confirmed by the thermal gravimetric analysis of the newly formed shell. The increased matrix secretion might have led to the change of CaCO3 precipitation dynamics which altered the mineral morphology and promoted shell formation. Taken together, our study revealed the close relationship between the physiological activities of the mantle tissue and the morphological change of the regenerated shells.

Abstract
Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) technology that breaks the diffraction limit has revolutionized the field of cell biology since its appearance, which enables researchers to visualize cellular structures with nanometric resolution, multiple colors and single-molecule sensitivity. With the flourishing development of hardware and the availability of novel fluorescent probes, the impact of SRM has already gone beyond cell biology and extended to nanomedicine, material science and nanotechnology, and remarkably boosted important breakthroughs in these fields. In this review, we will mainly highlight the power of SRM in modern biomedical science, discussing how these SRM techniques revolutionize the way we understand cell structures, biomaterials assembly and how assembled biomaterials interact with cellular organelles, and finally their promotion to the clinical pre-diagnosis. Moreover, we also provide an outlook on the current technical challenges and future improvement direction of SRM. We hope this review can provide useful information, inspire new ideas and propel the development both from the perspective of SRM techniques and from the perspective of SRM's applications.

Abstract
In the animal kingdom, DING proteins were only found in Chordata and Aschelminthes. At present study, a potential DING protein, matrix protein N38, was isolated and purified from the shell of Pinctada fucata. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis revealed that 14 peptide segments matched between N38 and human phosphate-binding protein (HPBP). HPBP belongs to the DING protein family and has a "DINGGG-" sequence, which is considered a "signature" of HPBP. In this study, the mass spectrometry analysis results showed that N38 had a "DIDGGG-" sequence; this structure is a mutation from the "DINGGG-" structure, which is a distinctive feature of the DING protein family. The role of N38 during calcium carbonate formation was explored through the in vitro crystallization experiment. The results of scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectrum analysis indicated that N38 induced vaterite formation. These findings revealed that N38 might regulate and participate in the precise control of the crystal growth of the shell, providing new clues for biomineralization mechanisms in P. fucata and DING protein family studies. In addition, this study helped extend the research of DING protein to the Mollusca world.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralizing organisms have played major roles in the history of life and the global carbon cycle during the past 541 Ma. Both marine diversification and mass extinctions reflect physiological responses to environmental changes through time. An integrated understanding of carbonate biomineralization is necessary to illuminate this evolutionary record and to understand how modern organisms will respond to 21st century global change. Biomineralization evolved independently but convergently across phyla, suggesting a unity of mechanism that transcends biological differences. In this review, we combine CaCO3 skeleton formation mechanisms with constraints from evolutionary history, omics, and a meta-analysis of isotopic data to develop a plausible model for CaCO3 biomineralization applicable to all phyla. The model provides a framework for understanding the environmental sensitivity of marine calcifiers, past mass extinctions, and resilience in 21st century acidifying oceans. Thus, it frames questions about the past, present, and future of CaCO3 biomineralizing organisms.

[PMID: 34793903 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.118522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2021] [Revised: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Microplastics are extremely widespread aquatic pollutants that severely detriment marine life. In this study, the influence of microplastics on biomineralization was investigated. For the first time, multiple forms and types of microplastics were detected and isolated from the shells and pearls of Pinctada fucata. According to the present study, the abundance of microplastics in shells and pearls was estimated at 1.95 ± 1.43 items/g and 0.53 ± 0.37 items/g respectively. Interestingly, microplastics were less abundant in high-quality round pearls. Microplastics may hinder the growth of calcite and aragonite crystals, which are crucial components required for shell formation. During the process of biomineralization microplastics became embedded in shells, suggesting the existence of a novel pathway by which microplastics accumulate in bivalves. After a 96-h exposure to microplastics, the expression level of typical biomineralization-related genes increased, including amorphous calcium carbonate binding protein (ACCBP) gene which experienced a significant increase. ACCBP promotes the formation of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), which is the pivotal precursor of shell formation-related biominerals. ACCBP is highly expressed during the developmental stage of juvenile oysters and the shell-damage repair process. The increased expression of ACCBP suggests biomineralization is enhanced as a result of microplastics exposure. These results provide important evidence that microplastics exposure may impact the appearance of biominerals and the expression of biomineralization-related genes, posing a new potential threat to aquatic organisms.

Abstract
Shell matrix proteins have important roles in the biomineralization of shells. In this study, we isolated and identified a novel shell matrix protein gene, hic7, from the mussel Hyriopsis cumingii. The cDNA of hic7 was 459 bp long, including a 240-bp open reading frame. It encoded a 79 amino acid-long protein, with amino acids 1-19 constituting the signal peptide. The resulting hic7 is rich in cysteine (16.5%). After removing the signal peptide, the molecular weight was 8.85 kDa and the theoretical isoelectric point was 6.34, indicating that hic7 is a weakly acidic shell matrix protein. Hic7 is mainly expressed in the mantle tissue of H. cumingii. In situ hybridization showed hic7 signals at the edge and dorsal region of the mantle outer fold, indicating that it is related to the formation of the prismatic and nacreous layer of the shell. RNA interference indicated that when hic7 was inhibited by 80%, the crystal morphology of the prism and nacre layers of the shell were irregular and disordered. In addition, the expression of hic7 during the early development of the pearl sac indicated that it has an important role in the transformation of calcium carbonate crystals from a disordered to an orderly deposition pattern. These results suggest that matrix protein hic7 take part in constructing the framework of crystal nucleation and regulating the calcium carbonate crystal morphology of the nacreous and prismatic layers of shells and pearls.

Abstract
Shell matrix proteins (SMPs) are key components for the Mollusk shell biomineralization. SMPs function has been hypothesized in several proteins by bioinformatics analysis, and through in vitro crystallization assays. However, studies of the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of SMPs, which contribute to their structure and the function, are limited. This review provides the current status of the SMPs with the most common PTMs described (glycosylation, phosphorylation, and disulfide bond formation) and their role in shell biomineralization. Also, recent studies based on recombinant production of SMPs are discussed. Finally, recommendations for the study of SMPs and their PTMs are provided. The review showed that PTMs are widely distributed in SMPs, and their presence on SMPs may contribute to the modulation of their activity in some SMPs, contributing to the crystal growth formation and differentiation through different mechanisms, however, in a few cases the lack of the PTMs do not alter their inherent function.

Abstract
Inspired by biomineralization, the first synthesis of size-tunable calcium carbonates from nanoparticles (YC-CaCO3 NPs) to nano/microspheres (YC-CaCO3 N/MSs) with a porous structure was accomplished using a facile method under the mediation of the secretion from yeast cells (YCs). The biomolecules derived from the secretion of YCs were used as conditioning and stabilizing agents to control the biosynthesis of the YC-CaCO3 materials. The morphology and crystal forms of YC-CaCO3 materials can be affected by the biomolecules from the secretion of YCs. With increasing concentrations of biomolecules, the morphologies of the obtained CaCO3 materials changed from nanoparticles to nano/microspheres with a porous structure, while the crystal forms transformed from amorphous to calcite. Functional investigations showed that YC-CaCO3 NSs with a porous structure effectively acted as anticancer drug carriers with accurate and selective drug release in tumor tissue, which suggests that they have great potential to function as a therapeutic delivery system. These application features are mainly attributed to the satisfactory biocompatibility and biodegradability, high drug-loading capacity, and pH-dependent sustained drug release performance of the porous YC-CaCO3 NSs. The biomimetic synthesis strategy of YC-CaCO3 materials mediated by YC secretion not only helps to shed light on the biomineralization mechanism in organisms, but may also lead to a new means of biosynthesizing organic–inorganic nanocomposites. The synthesis of cell-tailored calcium carbonate with different crystal forms can be controlled from nanoparticle to nano/microsphere by a bio-inspired strategy.![]()
