Probiotics have received considerable attention owing to their potential benefits in maintaining intestinal health,modulating immune function,and antioxidant activity.The antioxidant capacity of recently isolated and screened probiotics have not been characterized.Therefore,the present study used Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to investigate the effects of three novel probiotics(Limosiactobacillus reuteri B1-10,Lactobacillus paragasseri B1-26,and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus B2-1)and their probiotic complexes,isolated from breast milk,on the ability to delay aging and antioxidant capacity.Probiotics significantly prolonged the lifespan of nematodes by reducing lipofuscin accumulation,and their average lifespan was prolonged by19.40%(B1-10),7.72%(B1-26),19.72%(B2-1)and 20.30%(complex probiotic),respectively.The probiotics reduce nematode fecundity and retard their growth and development,possibly due to dietary restriction.Additionally,the probiotics reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde content,the reductions were 9.7%-44.5%and 18.69%-46.99%,respectively,and increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes,such as superoxide dismutase,catalase,and glutathione,the increases were 26.22%to 41.72%,30.33%to 83.20%and 77.13%to 171.85%,respectively.The complex probiotic was the most effective in improving the C.elegans resistance to hydrogen peroxide stressors.Furthermore,the probiotics acts on the insulin/insulin-like pathway to regulate the expression of daf-16,which in turn upregulates the expression of sod-3,ctl-1,sod-1,down-regulated the expression of age-1,and promoted the nuclear localization of DAF-16::GFP nematodes to prolong the lifespan and antioxidant capacity of C.elegans.These results provide a new basis and research direction for further analyses of the role of probiotics in maintaining the health,improving stress resistance,and prolonging the lifespan of the host.They also provide potential insights into the development of functional food to facilitate anti-aging management in humans. 展开更多

Heat shock factor-1(HSF-1)plays a crucial role in orchestrating stress responses across diverse organisms and disease conditions.Here,we investigate how the HSF-1 signaling pathway influences the degradation of toxic proteins and neuropathological changes in the Caenorhabditis elegans model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS).We found that overexpressing HSF-1 improves locomotor ability and increases the survival rate of ALS C.elegans.Moreover,we observed a deceleration of motor neuron degeneration,demonstrating the protective effect of HSF-1 on neurodegenerative processes.Transcriptomic analysis revealed notable changes in genes associated with autophagy and neurodegeneration,underscoring HSF-1’s critical involvement in ALS pathology.In addition,metabolomic profiling further highlighted the involvement of this pathway in metabolic reprogramming.Overall,our study underscores the critical role of the HSF-1 signaling pathway in improving survival rate,movement velocity,cellular integrity,and metabolic adaptation,providing new insights into the mechanisms underlying ALS and potential targets for therapeutic intervention. 展开更多

Gelsemium elegans(G.elegans)is a toxic medicinal plant traditionally used to treat chronic pain,with its toxicity linked to indole alkaloids such as gelsemine and humantenmine(HMT).Chronic pain often co-occurs with depression,a condition known to disrupt host-microbiota interactions,potentially affecting drug metabolism and toxicity.However,the impact of comorbid depression on the toxicity of G.elegans remains unclear.This study investigates how depression exacerbates the neurotoxicity of G.elegans and explores the role of the gut microbiota−host metabolic axis in this process.Depression-model mice were treated with G.elegans aqueous extract,gelsemine and HMT.Multi-omics approaches,including 16S rRNA sequencing and shotgun metagenomics,were used to analyze microbiota changes under depressive conditions.Functional validation was performed using pseudo-germ-free mice,fecal microbiota transplantation,and supplementation with Clostridium species and lithocholic acid(LCA),as well as pregnane X receptor(Pxr)knockout models.The results showed that depression significantly heightened the neurotoxicity of G.elegans,gelsemine and HMT.Mechanistically,depression reduced Clostridium abundance and LCA levels,impairing PXR activation and downregulating hepatic CYP3A11 expression.This disruption of the Clostridium-LCA-PXR-CYP3A11 axis hindered the detoxification of indole alkaloids,leading to increased systemic exposure and exacerbated neurotoxicity.Restoration of this pathway through Clostridium or LCA supplementation alleviated the toxicity.These findings highlight the role of the Clostridium-LCA-PXR-CYP3A11 axis in the altered toxicity of G.elegans in a depressive state,and suggest that Clostridium species and their metabolites may serve as a potential strategy for mitigating toxicity. 展开更多

In the current study,the Zygomycetes fungus Cunninghamella elegans NRRL Y-1392 was evaluated for its ability to grow in extracts derived from dried and ground agricultural residues,such as mushroom stalks and roots from hydroponically cultivated lettuces and produce poly-unsaturated fatty acids(PUFA)andγ-linolenic acid(GLA)rich lipids.Initially,the compositions of stalks and lettuce roots were analysed,and the fungus was batch-flask cultivated on six different commercial semi-defined substrates containing different sugars detected in stalks and roots to evaluate its catabolic ability.C.elegans was capable to assimilate all sugars,but at a lower rate in the case of arabinose.Subsequently,C.elegans was cultivated on tailor-made semi-defined commercial substrates,resembling hydrolysates containing carbohydrates found in mushroom stalks,under both nitrogen-excess and nitrogen-limited conditions,and resembling that of hydrolysates of roots,under nitrogen-excess conditions.Based on the results,under nitrogen-excess conditions,in the case of media resembling stalks hydrolysates,higher production values for biomass,PUFAs,and GLA were observed(20.3 g/L,1906 mg/L,668 mg/L),accompanied by high productivity values due to short cultivation periods,while under nitrogen limitation,high lipid accumulation(lipid in dry cell weight=48%,w/w)was presented,and lipids rich in oleic acid were produced.Finally,the fungus was cultivated on a medium derived from hot water-extraction applied to mush-room stalks,enriched with organic nitrogen sources.The fungus was successfully grown on the sugar-rich waterextract derived from mushroom stalks,resulting in dry biomass of 14.5 g/L,lipids of 1.8 g/L,with 15%(w/w)of GLA in cellular lipids. 展开更多

Nanoplastics are emerging contaminants that may co-exist with organochlorine pesticides and adversely affect invertebrates in the environment.However,the impact of environmental aging on the combined toxicity of nanoplastics and organochlorine pesticides remains unclear.This study investigated the effects of aging on the combined toxicity of polystyrene nanoplastics(PS NPs)and chlordane against Caenorhabditis elegans.The results showed that photo-aging altered the physicochemical properties of PS NPs and promoted the combined toxicity of PS NPs and chlordane to nematodes by reducing survival rate,body length and enhancing germline apoptosis.Additionally,combined exposure of nematodes to aged PS NPs and chlordane significantly increased reactive oxygen species production and intestinal permeability,suggesting that aging enhances combined toxicity through oxidative stress and intestinal damage.Moreover,aging increased chlordane contents in nematodes without promoting PS NPs accumulation,potentially leading to increased combined toxicity of PS NPs and chlordane.Notably,aging significantly increased the accumulation of PS NPs in the posterior intestine of the nematode during co-exposure,which may be responsible for the most sensitive and highest degree of change in germline apoptosis.These observations emphasize the significance of accounting for environmental aging as well as the accumulation and distribution of nanoplastics in organisms when assessing the combined effects of nanoplastics and coexisting pollutants. 展开更多

A class of persistent organic pollutants,polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs),are ubiquitous in the environment and human tissues which are continuously and long-term threatened.We aim to investigate the toxic effects and the underlying mechanisms of PCB153 using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism.Our findings demonstrated that exposure to an optimized concentration of 2μmol/L PCB153 had adverse effects on C.elegans,led to reduction of lifespan,body length,frequency of body bending,and head wiggling.Additionally,this exposure led to an increase in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species,superoxide dismutase,lipofuscin and fat content within the organism.Furthermore,gene set enrichment analysis and whole transcriptome sequencing revealed,a significant up-regulation of Cytochrome P450(CYP)family genes,which are crucial for the xenobiotics metabolism in C.elegans.Knocking down specific genes within the CYPs family,including cyp-35C1,cyp-35A5,cyp-35A3,cyp-34A1,and cyp-34A10,via RNA interference were able to reverse the shortening of lifespan and fat accumulation induced by PCB153 exposure.Moreover,a comprehensive a competing endogenous RNA network was constructed by integrating qPCR-validated differentially expressed m RNA along with lncRNA,circRNA,and miRNA identified by transcriptomic sequencing.This study emphasizes that PCB153 exposure leads to the physiological impairments,particularly fat accumulation and a shorter lifespan,through the modulation of CYP450 family genes.These findings contribute to our understanding of environmental pollutants and their impact on biological systems and provide valuable information on the toxic effects and potential risks associated with PCB153 exposure. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Neurodegeneration refers to the progressive loss of neurons,affecting both their structure and function.It is driven by synaptic dysfunction,disruptions in neural networks,and the accumulation of abnormal protein variants.Endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress,caused by the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded protein,is a major contributor to neurodegeneration.Dithiothreitol(DTT)is a widely used redox reagent that disrupts the oxidative protein folding environment,inducing ER stress and leading to the imbalance in protein homeostasis can activate stress response pathway,potentially contributing to neurodegenerative processes.Caenorhabditis elegans(C.elegans)is a widely used model organism for studying neurodegeneration due to its well-mapped nervous system,approximately onethird of neuron cells in their body,complete genome sequenced,and conserved stress response pathway.AIM To study the neurodegeneration in C.elegans caused by DTT-induced ER stress,assessed by behavioral,molecular,and lifespan changes.METHODS C.elegans were cultured on nematode growth medium plates with OP50,and ER stress was induced using DTT.Effects were assessed via behavioral assays such as locomotion,chemotaxis,lifespan assay,and molecular studies.RESULTS DTT exposure led to a significant decline in locomotion and chemotaxis response,indicating neurotoxicity.A reduction in lifespan was observed,suggesting an overall impact on health.Molecular analysis confirmed ER stress activation.DTT-induced ER stress negatively affects C.elegans,leading to behavioral impairments and molecular alterations associated with neurodegeneration.CONCLUSION These findings establish C.elegans as a potential model for studying ER stress-mediated neurotoxicity and its implications in neurodegenerative diseases. 展开更多

We examined the possible multiple defects induced by acute and prolonged exposure to high levels of manganese(Mn) solution by monitoring the endpoints of lifespan,development,reproduction,and stress response.Our data suggest that acute exposure(6 h) to Mn did not cause severe defects of life span,development,and reproduction,similarly,no significant defect could be found in animals exposed to a low concentration of Mn(2.5 μmol/L) for 48 h.In contrast,prolonged exposure(48 h) to high Mn concentrations(75 and 200 μmol/L) resulted in significant defects of life span,development,and reproduction,as well as the increase of the percentage of population with hsp-16.2::gfp expression indicating the obvious induction of stress responses in exposed animals.Moreover,prolonged exposure(48 h) to high concentrations(75 and 200 μmol/L) of Mn decreased the expression levels of antioxidant genes of sod-1,sod-2,sod-3,and sod-4 compared to control.Therefore,prolonged exposure to high concentrations of Mn will induce the severe defects of life span,development,and reproduction in nematodes possibly by affecting the stress response and expression of antioxidant genes in Caenorhabditis elegans. 展开更多

Sophora moorcroftiana(S. moorcroftiana) is an endemic leguminous dwarf shrub in Tibet, China. Decoctions of the seeds have been used in Chinese folk medicine for dephlogistication, detoxication, and infectious diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the constituent and biological effects of polysaccharides from S. moorcroftiana seeds in Caenorhabditis elegans(C. elegans). Polysaccharides from S. moorcroftiana seeds(SMpol) were extracted with 60% ethanol and constituent was analyzed by GC-MS. SMpol was composed of glucose, galactose and inositol in the molar ratio of 35.7 : 1.3 : 17.0. Synchronized worms were treated with SMpol and then lifespan, motility, reproduction, stress resistance and antimicrobial activity were examined. Compared with the control group, the lifespan was increased to the average of 27.3 days and the number of laying eggs showed a 1.3-fold increase in nematodes treated with SMpol(4 mg×mL–1). In SMpol(4 mg×mL–1) treated worms, there was a 1.1-fold increase in 24-h survival of acute heat stress and a 1.6-fold increase in 2-h survival of oxidative stress The colonization of the bacteria in the SMpol treated nematode was significantly lower than that of the untreated group by 68.3%. In vivo studies showed SMpol significantly extended the life span, improved reproduction, increased stress resistance and antimicrobial capacity of C. elegans. In conclusion, those results indicated that the polysaccharides from S. moorcroftiana seeds were involved in a variety of biological activities leading to its modulatory effects on C. elegans which may be developed as a natural supplement agent. 展开更多

Aging is the major risk factor for many human diseases and degeneration.Thus,clinically effective medicine could delay the process of aging and aging-related diseases are desperately wanted.In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),some were claimed to slow down aging.Qingyangshen(Cynanchum otophyllum schneid)is such a TCM.Here,we assayed the longevity effect of compound Otophylloside B(Ot B),a C-21 steroidal glycoside isolated from Qingyangshen,in Caenorhabditis elegans,which is a popular model for aging research.Our results showed that Ot B could modestly extend the lifespan of C.elegans,delay the age-related decline of body movement and improve the stress resistance.Further investigating the molecular mechanism of lifespan extension effect revealed that Ot B could activate the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16.Ot B could not further extend the lifespan of long-lived mutant of insulin/IGF-1-like receptor(daf-2).In addition,Ot B also requires SIR-2.1 and CLK-1 which is an enzyme in ubiquinone synthesis,for lifespan extension. 展开更多

Sulfamethoxazole(SMX)is one of the most common detected antibiotics in the environment.In order to study whether SMX can affect behavior and growth and whether these effects could be transferred to the progeny,Caenorhabditis elegans was exposed at environmentally relevant concentrations for 24,48,72 and 96 hr,respectively.After exposure,the exposed parent generation(P0)was measured for behavior and growth indicators,which were presented as percentage of controls(POC).Then their corresponding unexposed progeny(F1)was separated and measured for the same indicators.The lowest POC for P0 after 96 hr-exposure at 100 mg/L were 37.8%,12.7%,45.8%and 70.l%for body bending frequency(BBF),reversal movement(RM),Omega turns(OT)and body length(BL),respectively.And F1 suffered defects with the lowest POC as 55.8%,24.1%,48.5%and 60.7%for BBF,RM,OT and BL,respectively.Defects in both P0 and F1 showed a time-and concentration-dependent fashion and behavior indicators showed better sensitivity than growth indicator.The observed effects on F1 demonstrated the transferable properties of SMX.Defects of SMX at environmental concentrations suggested that it is necessary to perform further systematical studies on its ecological risk in actual conditions. 展开更多

Parasite infections of humans and animals remain a major global health problem, with limited choice of drugs being available to the treatment of parasitosis in the clinic. Sophora moorcroftiana(S. moorcroftiana) is a shrub that grows in Tibet Plateau of China. Decoction of the seeds has been used as a traditional Tibetan medicine to treat parasitosis for years. But the anti-parasitic effects of water-soluble fractions in the seeds need further investigation. In the present study, the water-soluble alkaloid fractions(E2) were obtained from S. moorcroftiana seeds by refluxing extraction with 60% ethanol and low polarity fraction(E2-a) and high polarity fraction(E2-b) were subsequently isolated from E2 using column chromatography. As a parasite model, Caenorhabditis elegans(C. elegans) were treated with different fractions and their survivals were recorded. The results showed that that E2-a induced a lower survival rate in C. elegans than E2-b and E2. The protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus(E. granulosus) were cultured in the presence of E2-a. Compared with E2-b and E2, protoscoleces exhibited decreased survival rate following E2-a treatment. Furtherly, the effects of E2-a on the behavior, brood size, and lifespan of the worms were investigated. Body bend frequencies of the worms treated with the high concentration of E2-a were reduced by two-thirds compared with the control group(P < 0.01). Compared with non-E2-a-treated group, exposure of nematodes to E2-a led to a decrease in head thrashes and pharyngeal pumps frequency(P < 0.01). E2-a treatment resulted in a significantly lower brood size(P < 0.01). Additional E2-a treatment induced a significantly shortened lifespan, compared with the control(P < 0.05). These findings indicated that water-soluble fraction E2-a from S. moorcroftiana seeds was a potential helminthic agent. 展开更多

Among more than 75 variants of microcystin (MC), microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most common toxins. In this study, the feasibility of using Caenorhabditis elegans to evaluate MC-LR toxicity was studied. C. elegans was treated with MC-LR at different concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 80 μg/L. The results showed that MC-LR could reduce lifespan, delay development, lengthen generation time, decrease brood size, suppress locomotion behavior, and decreases hsp-16-2-gfp expression. The endpoints of generation time, brood size, and percentage of the population expressing hsp-16-2-gfp were very sensitive to 1.0μg/L of MC-LR, and would be more useful for the evaluation of MC-LR toxicity. Furthermore, the tissue-specific hsp-16-2-gfp expressions were investigated in MC-LR-exposed animals, and the nervous system and intestine were primarily affected by MC-LR. Therefore, the generation time, brood size, and hsp-16-2-gfp expression in C. elegans can be explored to serve as valuable endpoints for evaluating the potential toxicity from MC-LR exposure. 展开更多

Chemotaxis to water-soluble attractants is mainly controlled by ASE sensory neuron whose specification is regulated by che-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans.Our data suggested that exposure to high concentrations of metals,such as Pb,Cu,Ag,and Cr,would result in severe defects of chemotaxis to water-soluble attractants of NaCl,cAMP,and biotin.Moreover,the morphology of ASE neuron structures as observed by relative fluorescent intensities and relative size of fluorescent puncta of cell bodies,relative lengths of sensory endings in ASE neurons,and the expression patterns of che-1 were obviously altered in metal exposed animals when they meanwhile exhibited obvious chemotaxis defects to water-soluble attractants.In addition,the dendrite morphology could be noticeably changed in animals exposed to 150μmol/L of Pb,Cu,and Ag.Furthermore,we observed significant decreases of chemotaxis to water-soluble attractants in Pb exposed che-1 mutant at concentrations more than 2.5μmol/L,and in Cu,Ag,and Cr exposed che-1 mutant at concentrations more than 50μmol/L.Therefore,impairment of the ASE neuron structures and functions may largely contribute to the appearance of chemotaxis defects to water-soluble attractants in metal exposed nematodes. 展开更多

Whether the multi-biological toxicity from lead exposure could be transferred to progeny has not been clarified. In the present study, we explored the Caenorhabditis elegans to analyze the multiple toxicities from lead exposure and their possibly transferable properties. The lead exposure could cause series of severe multi-biological defects with a concentration-dependent manner by affecting the endpoints of life span, development, reproduction and locomotion behaviors in nematodes. Moreover, most of these toxicities could be transferred to progeny from lead exposed animals and some of the defects in progeny appeared even more severe than in their parents, such as the body sizes and mean life spans. We summarized the defects caused by lead exposure into three groups according to their transferable properties or rescue patterns. That is, the defects caused by lead exposure could be largely, or partially, or became even more severe in progeny animals. Therefore, our results suggest that lead exposure can cause severely multi-biological defects, and most of these multiple toxicities can be considered as transferable for exposed animals in C. elegans. 展开更多

Objective To identify new genes required for neurosecretory control of aging in C. elegans. Methods In view of the importance of nervous system in aging regulation, we performed the screen for genes involved in the aging regulation from genetic loci encoding synaptic proteins by lifespan assay and accumulation of lipofuscin autofluorescence. We further investigated the dauer formation phenotypes of their corresponding mutants and whether they were possibly up-regulated by the insulin-like signaling pathway. Results The genetic loci of unc-10, syd-2, hlb-1, dlk-1, mkk-4, scd- 2, snb-1, ric-4, nrx-1, unc-13, sbt-1 and unc-64 might be involved in the aging control. In addition, functions of unc-10, syd-2, hlb-1, dlk-1, mkk-4, scd-2, snb-1, ric-4 and nrx-1 in regulating aging may be opposite to those of unc-13, sbt-1 and unc-64. The intestinal autofluorescence assay further indicated that the identified long-lived and short-lived mutants were actually due to the suppressed or accelerated aging. Among the identified genes, syd-2, hlb-1, mkk-4, scd-2, snb-1, ric-4 and unc-64 were also involved in the control of dauer formation. Moreover, daf-2 mutation positively regulated the expression of syd-2 and hlb-1, and negatively regulated the expression of mkk-4, nrx-1, ric-4, sbt-1, rpm-1, unc-10, dlk- 1 and unc-13. The daf-16 mutation positively regulated the expression of syd-2 and hlb-1, and negatively regulated the expression of mkk-4, nrx-1, sbt-1, rpm-1, unc-10, dlk-1 and unc-13. Conclusion These data suggest the possibly important status of the synaptic transmission to the animal' s life-span control machinery, as well as the dauer formation control. 展开更多
