摘要：Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria have become a global threat to human life and health, and novel antibiotics are urgently needed. The thioredoxin (Trx) system can be used as an antibacterial target to combat MDR bacteria. Here, we found that two active gold(I) selenium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes H7 and H8 show more promising antibacterial effects against MDR bacteria than auranofin. Both H7 and H8 irreversibly inhibit the bacterial TrxR activity via targeting the redox-active motif, abolishing the capacity of TrxR to quench reactive oxygen species (ROS) and finally leading to oxidative stress. The increased cellular superoxide radical levels impact a variety of functions necessary for bacterial survival, such as cellular redox balance, cell membrane integrity, amino acid metabolism, and lipid peroxidation. In vivo data present much better antibacterial activity of H7 and H8 than auranofin, promoting the wound healing and prolonging the survival time of Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) induced peritonitis. Most notably in this study, we revealed the influence of gold(I) complexes on both the Trx system and the cellular metabolic states to better understand their killing mechanism and to support further antibacterial drug design.

摘要：Developing a novel and potent adjuvant with great biocompatibility for immune response augmentation is of great significance to enhance vaccine efficacy. In this work, we prepared a long-term stable, pH-sensitive, and biodegradable Mn3(PO4)2·3H2O nanoparticle (nano-MnP) by simply mixing MnCl2/NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 solution for the first time and employed it as an immune stimulant in the bivalent COVID-19 protein vaccine comprised of wild-type S1 (S1-WT) and Omicron S1 (S1-Omicron) proteins as antigens to elicit a broad-spectrum immunity. The biological experiments indicated that the nano-MnP could effectively activate antigen-presenting cells through the cGAS–STING pathway. Compared with the conventional Alum-adjuvanted group, the nano-MnP-adjuvanted bivalent vaccine elicited approximately 7- and 8-fold increases in IgG antibody titers and antigen-specific IFN-γ secreting T cells, respectively. Importantly, antisera of the nano-MnP-adjuvanted group could effectively cross-neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 and its five variants of concern (VOCs) including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron, demonstrating that this bivalent vaccine based on S1-WT and S1-Omicron proteins is an effective vaccine design strategy to induce broad-spectrum immune responses. Collectively, this nano-MnP material may provide a novel and efficient adjuvant platform for various prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines and provide insights for the development of the next-generation manganese adjuvant.

The realization of the “microbiota–gut–brain” axis plays a critical role in neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly depression, is advancing rapidly. Matrine is a natural bioactive compound, which has been found to possess potential antidepressant effect. However, the underlying mechanisms of regulation of the “microbiota–gut–brain” axis in the treatment of depression by oral matrine remain elusive.Its antidepressant effects were initially evaluated by behavioral tests and relative levels of monoamine neurotransmitters, and matrine has been observed to attenuate the depression-like behavior and increase neurotransmitter content in CUMS-induced mice. Subsequently, studies from the “gut” to “brain” were conducted, including detection of the composition of gut microbiota by 16S rRNA sequencing; the metabolomics detection of gut metabolites and the analysis of differential metabolic pathways; the assessment of relative levels of diamine oxidase, lipopolysaccharide, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) by ELISA kits or immunofluorescence.Matrine could regulate the disturbance of gut microbiota and metabolites, restore intestinal permeability, and reduce intestinal inflammation, thereby reducing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood circulation and brain regions, and ultimately increase the levels of BDNF in brain.Matrine may ameliorate CUMS-induced depression in mice by modulating the “microbiota–gut–brain” axis..
