| 1 | Fibers reinforced composite hydrogels with improved lubrication and load-bearing capacity显示文摘Hydrogels as one kind of soft materials with a typical three-dimensional(3D)hydrophilic network have been getting great attention in the field of biolubrication.However,traditional hydrogels commonly show poor tribology performance under high-load conditions because of their poor mechanical strength and toughness.Herein,pure chemical-crosslinking hydrogels mixed with different types of the micron-scale fibers can meet the requirements of strength and toughness for biolubrication materials,meanwhile the corresponding tribology performance improves significantly.In a typical case,three kinds of reinforcement matrix including needle-punched fibers,alginate fibers,and cottons are separately combined with Poly(n-vinyl pyrrolidone)-poly 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(PVP-PHEMA)hydrogels to prepare fibers reinforced composite hydrogels.The experimental results show that the mechanical properties of fibers reinforced composite hydrogels improve greatly comparable with pure PVP-PHEMA hydrogels.Among three kinds of fibers reinforced composite hydrogel,the as-prepared composite hydrogels reinforced with needle-punched fibers possess the best strength,modulus,and anti-tearing properties.Friction tests indicate that the fibers reinforced composite hydrogels demonstrate stable water-lubrication performance comparable with pure PVP-PHEMA hydrogels.Besides,the hydrogel-spunlace fiber samples show the best load-bearing and anti-wear capacities.The improved tribology performance of the composite hydrogels is highly related to mechanical property and the interaction between the fibers and hydrogel network.Finally,spunlace fibers reinforced hydrogel materials with high load-bearing and low friction properties are expected to be used as novel biomimetic lubrication materials. | Jiawei LI Luyao GAO Rongnian XU Shuanhong MA Zhengfeng MA Yanhua LIU Yang WU Libang FENG Meirong CAI Feng ZHOU | 2022 | Friction2022,10,1: | 1 |
| 2 | Ameliorative effect of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Fmb14 from Chinese yogurt on hyperuricemia显示文摘Hyperuricemia is a critical threat to human health,and a high inosine diet can increase the prevalence of it.Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Fmb14 was isolated from traditional fermented Chinese yogurt,and its inosine degradation rate reached 36.3%at 109 CFU/mL for 24 h.LC-MS analysis revealed that high concentrations of inosine could activate compensatory metabolic pathways of L.rhamnosus Fmb14 to catalyse inosine as an energy source and produce intracellular folic acid and riboflavin.The contents of folic acid and riboflavin were 6.0 and 4.3 fold increased after inosine treatment in the cell-free extracts(CFE).L.rhamnosus Fmb14 CFE treatment ameliorates hyperuricemia through xanthine oxidase(XOD)inhibition and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2(ABCG2)promotion,both of which are responsible for uric acid(UA)synthesis and secretion in HepG2 and Caco2 cells,respectively.The in vivo results showed that the serum UA level decreased from 236.28 to 149.28μmol/L after 8 weeks of oral administration of L.rhamnosus Fmb14 in inosine-induced hyperuricemia model mice.Our results revealed that L.rhamnosus Fmb14 has a potential as a biological therapeutic agent in hyperuricemia prevention. | Hongyuan Zhao Xiaoyu Chen Fanqiang Meng Libang Zhou Xinyi Pang Zhaoxin Lu Yingjian Lu | 2023 | Food Science and Human Wellness2023,12,4: | 0 |
| 3 | Deletion of COM donor and acceptor domains and the interaction between modules in bacillomycin D produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens显示文摘Bacillomycin D is a cyclic lipopeptide produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens fmbJ.At present,no relevant report has described the combinatorial biosynthesis of bacillomycin D.Due to the strong biosynthetic potential of the communication-mediating(COM)domains,its crosstalk between NRPS subunits has been studied to some extent,but the interaction of COM domain between modules is rarely reported.Therefore,in this study,we conducted the combinatorial biosynthesis of bacillomycin D through the deletion of the COM donor and acceptor domains between the modules and elucidated the interaction between the NRPS modules.The results showed that the deletion of the donor domain between modules 2 and 3 did not affect catalysis by upstream modules,but prevented downstream modules from catalysing the extension of the lipopeptide product,ultimately resulting in mutant complexes that could form linear dipeptides with the sequenceβ-NH_(2)FA-Asn-Tyr.However,the engineered hybrid bacillomycin D NRPSs lacking the donor domains between modules 3 and 4 and modules 6 and 7 could form multiple assembly lines that produced bacillomycin D and its analogs(linear tripeptides,cyclic hexapeptides and linear hexapeptides).In addition,all the acceptor domain deletion strains failed to produce bacillomycin D,only truncated peptides produced by module interruption(except for the acceptor domain deletion strains between modules 3 and 4,which also produced cyclic hexapeptides).In conclusion,deletion of the inter-module donor domains led to a more flexible hybrid biosynthetic system for the production of diverse peptide products;compared with the inter-subunit donor domain deletion strains that could only produce truncated peptides,the former had a greater biosynthetic capacity.Meanwhile,the acceptor domains between modules were an important part of module-module interactions and efficient communication within bacillomycin D synthetase. | Ziyan Lv Wenjie Ma Ping Zhang Zhaoxin Lu Libang Zhou Fanqiang Meng Zuwei Wang Xiaomei Bie | 2022 | Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology2022,7,3: | 0 |
| 4 | Surfactin alleviated hyperglycaemia in mice with type 2 diabetes induced by a high-fat diet and streptozotocin显示文摘Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is associated with liver dysfunction and intestinal dysbiosis.Bioactive peptides(BAPs)have been reported to ameliorate T2DM by preventing oxidative damage to the liver.Bacillus amyloliquefaciens fmb50 produces the lipopeptide surfactin with a wide range of biological activities.The effects of surfactin on T2DM,on the other hand,have not been studied.In the present study,80 mg/kg body weight surfactin supplementation lowered fasting blood glucose(FBG)levels by 21.05%and insulin resistance(IR)by 18.18%compared with those in the T2DM group,reduced inflammation,and increased antioxidant activity in mice with T2DM induced by a high-fat diet(HFD)and streptozotocin(STZ).According to further research,surfactin administration reduced Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratios while increasing Bifi dobacterium abundance by 20 times and the level of the tight junction protein Occludin by 18.38%and ZO-1 by 66.60%.Furthermore,surfactin also improved hepatic glucose metabolism by activating the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)signalling pathway,increasing glycogen synthesis and glucose transporter 2(GLUT2)protein expression while reducing glucose-6-phosphatase(G6Pase)protein expression.In addition,the increased Bifi dobacterium abundance indirectly reduced the liver burden of the metabolic products indole,cresol and amine produced by saprophytic bacteria.All of these findings revealed that surfactin not only ameliorated HFD/STZ-induced gut dysbiosis and preserved intestinal barrier integrity but also enhanced hepatic glucose metabolism and detoxifi cation function in T2DM mice.The gut microbiota appeared to be important in controlling glucose metabolism,IR,fat accumulation,inflammation and antioxidation,according to Spearman’s correlation coeffi cients.All data indicated that surfactin alleviated hyperglycaemia in mice with T2DM induced by HFD/STZ. | Xiaoyu Chen Hongyuan Zhao Fanqiang Meng Libang Zhou Zhaoxin Lu Yingjian Lu | 2023 | Food Science and Human Wellness2023,12,6: | 0 |
