Abstract
Microbes are evolutionarily robust organisms capable of rapid adaptation to complex stress, which enables them to colonize harsh environments. In nature, microbes are regularly challenged by starvation, which is a particularly complex stress because resource limitation often co-occurs with changes in pH, osmolarity, and toxin accumulation created by metabolic waste. Often overlooked are the additional complications introduced by eventual resource replenishment, as successful microbes must withstand rapid environmental shifts before swiftly capitalizing on replenished resources to avoid invasion by competing species. To understand how microbes navigate trade-offs between growth and survival, ultimately adapting to thrive in environments with extreme fluctuations, we experimentally evolved 16 Escherichia coli populations for 900 days in repeated feast/famine conditions with cycles of 100-day starvation before resource replenishment. Using longitudinal population-genomic analysis, we found that evolution in response to extreme feast/famine is characterized by narrow adaptive trajectories with high mutational parallelism and notable mutational order. Genetic reconstructions reveal that early mutations result in trade-offs for biofilm and motility but trade-ups for growth and survival, as these mutations conferred positively correlated advantages during both short-term and long-term culture. Our results demonstrate how microbes can navigate the adaptive landscapes of regularly fluctuating conditions and ultimately follow mutational trajectories that confer benefits across diverse environments.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
TMZ, is the first line chemotherapeutic drug for glioma, and drug resistance is one of the most important reasons for glioma treatment failure. Our previous studies have found that: 1) Type I interferon (IFN) could reverse the resistance of TMZ by inhibiting NF-κB activity, and down-regulating the expression of MGMT in vivo and in vitro; 2) IFN-α could significantly improve chemtherapeautic effect of TMZ for GBM patients. We aim to investigate the therapeutic effect of a cocktail chemotherapy regimen combining temozolomide (TMZ)- Levetiracetam(LEV) - interferon (IFN) on human glioma U138 and U251 subcutaneous xenograft tumor.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
30 xenograft tumors were established by subcutaneously injecting 1×106 glioma cells into the right flank of 4-week-old female BALB/C nude mice and then randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6/group): Control group; TMZ group; TMZ+IFN group; TMZ+LEV group; TMZ+LEV+IFN group. Anti-tumor efficacy of five regimens for tumor-bearing mice was tested after treatment with TMZ (50 mg/kg, i.p.), IFN (2×105 IU, s.c.), LEV (150 mg/kg, i.p.), while TMZ dose were reduced to 12.5 mg/kg for U251 tumors. All drugs are given once a day for five consecutive days. After therapy, the size of tumor was measured every day until the control tumors reached 2000 mm3. Mice bearing U138 tumors were sacrificed at 40 days after therapy, and mice bearing U251 tumors were killed at 26 days after therapy.
RESULTS
We identified that both U138 and U251 tumor growth among TMZ group, TMZ+IFN group, TMZ+LEV group and TMZ+LEV+IFN group were significantly inhibited (P<0.05), compared with the control group. Tumor weight of all treating group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The tumor weight of TMZ+LEV+IFN group was the lowest and significantly lower than that of TMZ+LEV group and TMZ group (P<0.05, respectively). No significant difference was found between TMZ+LEV+IFN group and TMZ+IFN group in U251 subcutaneous xenograft tumors, although the tumor weight was lower in TMZ+LEV+IFN group (P>0.05). In the treatment of mice bearing U138 glioma, TMZ+LEV+IFN regimen was significantly superior to TMZ+IFN regimen.
CONCLUSION
Our data demonstrate that both IFN and LEV can sensitize TMZ effect on glioma. TMZ-LEV-IFN cocktail appears the best regimen.
