    Disease where you dine: plant species and floral traits associated with pathogen transmission in bumble bees (2018)
    Wiley
    In: Ecology
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018
    Description: Abstract Hotspots of disease transmission can strongly influence pathogen spread. Bee pathogens may be transmitted via shared floral use, but the role of plant species and floral trait variation in shaping transmission dynamics is almost entirely unexplored. Given the importance of pathogens for the decline of several bee species, understanding whether and how plant species and floral traits affect transmission could give us important tools for predicting which plant species may be hotspots for disease spread. We assessed variation in transmission via susceptibility (probability of infection) and mean intensity (cell count of infected bees) of the trypanosomatid gut pathogen Crithidia bombi to uninfected Bombus impatiens workers foraging on 14 plant species, and assessed the role of floral traits, bee size and foraging behavior on transmission. We also conducted a manipulative experiment to determine how the number of open flowers affected transmission on three plant species, Penstemon digitalis, Monarda didyma, and Lythrum salicaria. Plant species differed fourfold in the overall mean abundance of Crithidia in foraging bumble bees (mean including infected and uninfected bees). Across plant species, bee susceptibility and mean intensity increased with the number of reproductive structures per inflorescence (buds, flowers and fruits); smaller bees and those that foraged longer were also more susceptible. Trait‐based models were as good or better than species‐based models at predicting susceptibility and mean intensity based on AIC values. Surprisingly, floral size and morphology did not significantly predict transmission across species. In the manipulative experiment, more open flowers increased mean pathogen abundance fourfold in Monarda, but had no effect in the other two plant species. Our results suggest that variation among plant species, through their influence on pathogen transmission, may shape bee disease dynamics. Given widespread investment in pollinator‐friendly plantings to support pollinators, understanding how plant species affect disease transmission is important for recommending plant species that optimize pollinator health.

    The cyclopropene radical cation: Rovibrational level structure at low energies from high-resolution photoelectron spectra (2014)
    American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2014-08-15
    Description: The cyclopropene radical cation ( c -C 3 H 4 + ) is an important but poorly characterized three-membered-ring hydrocarbon. We report on a measurement of the high-resolution photoelectron and photoionization spectra of cyclopropene and several deuterated isotopomers, from which we have determined the rovibrational energy level structure of the X ̃ + 2 B 2 ground electronic state of c -C 3 H 4 + at low energies for the first time. The synthesis of the partially deuterated isotopomers always resulted in mixtures of several isotopomers, differing in their number of D atoms and in the location of these atoms, so that the photoelectron spectra of deuterated samples are superpositions of the spectra of several isotopomers. The rotationally resolved spectra indicate a C 2v -symmetric R 0 structure for the ground electronic state of c -C 3 H 4 + . Two vibrational modes of c -C 3 H 4 + are found to have vibrational wave numbers below 300 cm −1 , which is surprising for such a small cyclic hydrocarbon. The analysis of the isotopic shifts of the vibrational levels enabled the assignment of the lowest-frequency mode (fundamental wave number of ≈110 cm −1 in c -C 3 H 4 + ) to the CH 2 torsional mode ( ν 8 + , A 2 symmetry) and of the second-lowest-frequency mode (≈210 cm −1 in c -C 3 H 4 + ) to a mode combining a CH out-of-plane with a CH 2 rocking motion ( ν 15 + , B 2 symmetry). The potential energy along the CH 2 torsional coordinate is flat near the equilibrium structure and leads to a pronounced anharmonicity.

    Autophagy-dependent anticancer immune responses induced by chemotherapeutic agents in mice (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-12-17
    Description: Antineoplastic chemotherapies are particularly efficient when they elicit immunogenic cell death, thus provoking an anticancer immune response. Here we demonstrate that autophagy, which is often disabled in cancer, is dispensable for chemotherapy-induced cell death but required for its immunogenicity. In response to chemotherapy, autophagy-competent, but not autophagy-deficient, cancers attracted dendritic cells and T lymphocytes into the tumor bed. Suppression of autophagy inhibited the release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from dying tumor cells. Conversely, inhibition of extracellular ATP-degrading enzymes increased pericellular ATP in autophagy-deficient tumors, reestablished the recruitment of immune cells, and restored chemotherapeutic responses but only in immunocompetent hosts. Thus, autophagy is essential for the immunogenic release of ATP from dying cells, and increased extracellular ATP concentrations improve the efficacy of antineoplastic chemotherapies when autophagy is disabled.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Michaud, Mickael -- Martins, Isabelle -- Sukkurwala, Abdul Qader -- Adjemian, Sandy -- Ma, Yuting -- Pellegatti, Patrizia -- Shen, Shensi -- Kepp, Oliver -- Scoazec, Marie -- Mignot, Gregoire -- Rello-Varona, Santiago -- Tailler, Maximilien -- Menger, Laurie -- Vacchelli, Erika -- Galluzzi, Lorenzo -- Ghiringhelli, Francois -- di Virgilio, Francesco -- Zitvogel, Laurence -- Kroemer, Guido -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Dec 16;334(6062):1573-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1208347.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉INSERM, U848, Villejuif, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22174255" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An immunosurveillance mechanism controls cancer cell ploidy (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-09-29
    Description: Cancer cells accommodate multiple genetic and epigenetic alterations that initially activate intrinsic (cell-autonomous) and extrinsic (immune-mediated) oncosuppressive mechanisms. Only once these barriers to oncogenesis have been overcome can malignant growth proceed unrestrained. Tetraploidization can contribute to oncogenesis because hyperploid cells are genomically unstable. We report that hyperploid cancer cells become immunogenic because of a constitutive endoplasmic reticulum stress response resulting in the aberrant cell surface exposure of calreticulin. Hyperploid, calreticulin-exposing cancer cells readily proliferated in immunodeficient mice and conserved their increased DNA content. In contrast, hyperploid cells injected into immunocompetent mice generated tumors only after a delay, and such tumors exhibited reduced DNA content, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and calreticulin exposure. Our results unveil an immunosurveillance system that imposes immunoselection against hyperploidy in carcinogen- and oncogene-induced cancers.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Senovilla, Laura -- Vitale, Ilio -- Martins, Isabelle -- Tailler, Maximilien -- Pailleret, Claire -- Michaud, Mickael -- Galluzzi, Lorenzo -- Adjemian, Sandy -- Kepp, Oliver -- Niso-Santano, Mireia -- Shen, Shensi -- Marino, Guillermo -- Criollo, Alfredo -- Boileve, Alice -- Job, Bastien -- Ladoire, Sylvain -- Ghiringhelli, Francois -- Sistigu, Antonella -- Yamazaki, Takahiro -- Rello-Varona, Santiago -- Locher, Clara -- Poirier-Colame, Vichnou -- Talbot, Monique -- Valent, Alexander -- Berardinelli, Francesco -- Antoccia, Antonio -- Ciccosanti, Fabiola -- Fimia, Gian Maria -- Piacentini, Mauro -- Fueyo, Antonio -- Messina, Nicole L -- Li, Ming -- Chan, Christopher J -- Sigl, Verena -- Pourcher, Guillaume -- Ruckenstuhl, Christoph -- Carmona-Gutierrez, Didac -- Lazar, Vladimir -- Penninger, Josef M -- Madeo, Frank -- Lopez-Otin, Carlos -- Smyth, Mark J -- Zitvogel, Laurence -- Castedo, Maria -- Kroemer, Guido -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Sep 28;337(6102):1678-84.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉INSERM, U848, Villejuif, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23019653" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The microbial metabolites, short-chain fatty acids, regulate colonic Treg cell homeostasis (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-07-06
    Description: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) that express the transcription factor Foxp3 are critical for regulating intestinal inflammation. Candidate microbe approaches have identified bacterial species and strain-specific molecules that can affect intestinal immune responses, including species that modulate Treg responses. Because neither all humans nor mice harbor the same bacterial strains, we posited that more prevalent factors exist that regulate the number and function of colonic Tregs. We determined that short-chain fatty acids, gut microbiota-derived bacterial fermentation products, regulate the size and function of the colonic Treg pool and protect against colitis in a Ffar2-dependent manner in mice. Our study reveals that a class of abundant microbial metabolites underlies adaptive immune microbiota coadaptation and promotes colonic homeostasis and health.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3807819/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3807819/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Smith, Patrick M -- Howitt, Michael R -- Panikov, Nicolai -- Michaud, Monia -- Gallini, Carey Ann -- Bohlooly-Y, Mohammad -- Glickman, Jonathan N -- Garrett, Wendy S -- F32 DK095506/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- F32 DK098826/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- F32DK095506/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- F32DK098826/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- K08 AI078942/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- K08AI078942/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK034854/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA154426/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM099537/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01CA154426/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Aug 2;341(6145):569-73. doi: 10.1126/science.1241165.

    Tuft cells, taste-chemosensory cells, orchestrate parasite type 2 immunity in the gut (2016)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-02-06
    Description: The intestinal epithelium forms an essential barrier between a host and its microbiota. Protozoa and helminths are members of the gut microbiota of mammals, including humans, yet the many ways that gut epithelial cells orchestrate responses to these eukaryotes remain unclear. Here we show that tuft cells, which are taste-chemosensory epithelial cells, accumulate during parasite colonization and infection. Disruption of chemosensory signaling through the loss of TRMP5 abrogates the expansion of tuft cells, goblet cells, eosinophils, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells during parasite colonization. Tuft cells are the primary source of the parasite-induced cytokine interleukin-25, which indirectly induces tuft cell expansion by promoting interleukin-13 production by innate lymphoid cells. Our results identify intestinal tuft cells as critical sentinels in the gut epithelium that promote type 2 immunity in response to intestinal parasites.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Howitt, Michael R -- Lavoie, Sydney -- Michaud, Monia -- Blum, Arthur M -- Tran, Sara V -- Weinstock, Joel V -- Gallini, Carey Ann -- Redding, Kevin -- Margolskee, Robert F -- Osborne, Lisa C -- Artis, David -- Garrett, Wendy S -- F31DK105653/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- F32DK098826/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA154426/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM099531/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2016 Mar 18;351(6279):1329-33. doi: 10.1126/science.aaf1648.

    Bacteria driven production of alkyl nitrates in seawater (2015)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-01-07
    Description: Aircraft and ship-borne measurements have shown that the ocean is a large, diffuse source for short chain (C 1 -C 3 ) gas-phase alkyl nitrates (RONO 2 ). Photochemical production of RONO 2 has been demonstrated previously as a viable mechanism in surface waters, however, it cannot account for the observed depth profile of RONO 2 , suggesting an additional, dark RONO 2 production mechanism. We present measurements of gas-phase C 1 -C 5 alkyl nitrates emitted from seawater in a controlled mesocosm experiment conducted under low-light conditions in a glass walled wave channel. Ethyl and butyl nitrate emission rates from sea-water are strongly correlated with the abundance of heterotrophic bacteria (R 2 ≥ 0.89) and show no correlation to chlorophyll-a concentration. Controlled flask experiments conducted using ambient and sterile seawater, inoculated with a heterotrophic bacterium, confirm that bacterial driven production of select RONO 2 can proceed efficiently in the absence of light.

    Dynamic surface tension of xylem sap lipids (2020)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-02-06
    Description: The surface tension of xylem sap has been traditionally assumed to be close to that of the pure water because decreasing surface tension is thought to increase vulnerability to air seeding and embolism. However, xylem sap contains insoluble lipid-based surfactants, which also coat vessel and pit membrane surfaces, where gas bubbles can enter xylem under negative pressure in the process known as air seeding. Because of the insolubility of amphiphilic lipids, the surface tension influencing air seeding in pit pores is not the equilibrium surface tension of extracted bulk sap but the local surface tension at gas–liquid interfaces, which depends dynamically on the local concentration of lipids per surface area. To estimate the dynamic surface tension in lipid layers that line surfaces in the xylem apoplast, we studied the time-dependent and surface area-regulated surface tensions of apoplastic lipids extracted from xylem sap of four woody angiosperm plants using constrained drop surfactometry. Xylem lipids were found to demonstrate potent surface activity, with surface tensions reaching an equilibrium at ~25 mN m-1 and varying between a minimum of 19 mN m-1 and a maximum of 68 mN m-1 when changing the surface area between 50 and 160% around the equilibrium surface area. It is concluded that xylem lipid films in natural conditions most likely range from nonequilibrium metastable conditions of a supersaturated compression state to an undersaturated expansion state, depending on the local surface areas of gas–liquid interfaces. Together with findings that maximum pore constrictions in angiosperm pit membranes are much smaller than previously assumed, low dynamic surface tension in xylem turns out to be entirely compatible with the cohesion–tension and air-seeding theories, as well as with the existence of lipid-coated nanobubbles in xylem sap, and with the range of vulnerabilities to embolism observed in plants.
