title: Cholinergic modulation of Candida albicans virulence factors and the pathogenesis of candidiasis
Creators: name: Alghamdi, Abeer Muhammad
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal pathogen causing both superficial and invasive fungal infections leading to various challenges on healthcare systems. Normally, C. albicans is a harmless commensal of the human body, but under certain conditions of stress, it can express virulence traits leading to disease. It causes a wide range of infections starting from superficial infections such as oropharyngeal candidiasis to systemic infections such as Candidemia. Biofilm formation is an important feature of C. albicans pathogenesis. There are several factors in C. albicans which contribute to this trait, such as morphological transition, expression of virulence factors, metabolic flexibility, and stress response machinery. Understanding the complexity of the pathways behind the virulence traits of C. albicans is essential for developing effective therapeutic strategies to combat superficial and life threatening systemic infections. In this research, we present a novel antifungal activity of pilocarpine hydrochloride against C. albicans biofilms. We hypothesize that C. albicans may possess muscarinic like receptor(s) that mediate the ability of pilocarpine hydrochloride to inhibit biofilm formation. Pilocarpine hydrochloride reduced filamentation and biofilm formation significantly in a dose dependent manner in both the wild type strain and clinical isolates. The M5 allosteric modulator, similarly, inhibited the biofilm formation significantly in a dose dependent manner. Moreover, pilocarpine hydrochloride reduced the damage and inhibited the innate immune response stimulated by C. albicans infection in both TR146 cells and a three-dimensional human oral tissue model. The transcriptomic profile of C. albicans upon treatment with pilocarpine hydrochloride and acetylcholine revealed differential expression among crucial genes that play a vital role in C. albicans pathogenesis such as downregulation of hyphal specific genes; HWP1, ECE1, and IHD1. RNAseq data also revealed a considerable number of unannotated genes that may play a role in the cholinergic modulation of C. albicans biofilm formation by acetylcholine and pilocarpine hydrochloride. The data generated herein suggest that C. albicans may possess a cholinergic receptor or receptors mediating C. albicans virulence factors. This research provides a foundation to explore further cholinergic pathways in fungal pathogens and their involvement in pathogenicity. It also reveals potential novel effective antifungal therapeutic targets in C. albicans. Furthermore, it emphasizes the feasibility and effectiveness of repurposing known licensed drugs, used for treatment of other conditions, to treat C. albicans infections singularly or as an adjunctive therapy. In the light of the global increased resistance to antifungal and antimicrobial therapies, this work may contribute to the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.

description: This paper analyses the long-term effects of Neonatal Calf Diarrhoea (NCD) on the first milk production. A total number of 41 dairy heifers, belonging to two commercial dairy farms were admitted to our Clinic for NCD between 2008 and 2015. Survived animals, once returned to their farm, were followed until the end of the first lactation. As a treatment for NCD, we administered fluids and sodium bicarbonate intravenously according to the dehydration score described by Boccardo et al. (2017) and blood-gas analysis results. The quantity of replacement fluid in liters was calculated as: replacement fluid (L)=dehydration (%) x bodyweight (kg). The required amount of sodium bicarbonate was calculated as: sodium bicarbonate (g) = body weight (kg) × base excess (mmol/L) × 0.6 (L/kg) × 0.084 (g/mmol). Calves with a history of anorexia received 5 mg/kg glucose added to the saline solution. Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid was administered SC at the dose of 10 + 2.5 mg/kg for 5 days to each calf.

During lactation, we analyzed: milk production in a 305-day lactation, average fat percentage, average protein percentage, average somatic cell count and interval from birth to first calving.Furthermore, days of hospitalization and severity of diseasewere considered (average calves age = 8,09 days, average body weight = 41,66 kg, average hospitalization = 10,61 days, average duration of treatment = 5,24 days). As a control, we considered non-hospitalized heifers (n.=238) with the same age, from the same herd, without clinical history of NCD. Differences between the NCD group and control group were analyzed with general linear models. No statistic difference between the NCD group and control group was underlined (Table 1). These findings differ from previous literature results. In fact, Aghakeshmiriet al.(2017) found that the NCD increased the first calving age and heifer raising costs; Svensson and Hultgren (2008) showed that animals survived from NCD had a lower milk production. On the other hand, our results are similar to those reported by Warnicket al.(1994;1995), even if in these works no data regarding the type of treatment and severity of clinical sings were considered. This study, while preliminary, suggests that the timely treatment of NCD could prevent irreversible damages and ensure to reach a reproductive and productive standard during the first lactation. However the simple size needs to be increased.

description: Modern farming is increasingly relying on in vitro embryo production (IVP). However, in vitro culture systems are not yet capable to fully support oocyte and early embryonic development. Recent studies in mice have revealed the importance of zinc in regulating oogenesis and early embryogenesis (Bernhardt et al. 2012; Tian & Diaz, 2013). Moreover, zinc transporters are differentially expressed in different cell types throughout several steps of oogenesis and embryogenesis in cattle (Dieci et al. 2016; http://emb-bioinfo.fsaa.ulaval.ca/IMAGE/). Nevertheless, zinc modulation during culture of oocytes and early embryos has not been yet implemented in cattle. Thus, we assessed whether zinc is one of the essential players in the process of bovine oocyte competence acquisition and embryo quality by supplementing the media used to 1) grow oocytes collected from small antral follicle (SAF), 2) mature oocytes collected from middle-size antral follicles (MAF) and 3) culture in vitro produced zygotes. In each experiment, oocytes cultured under standard conditions served as control group. Zinc supplementation during oocytes in vitro growth significantly improved the proportion of oocytes reaching the metaphase-II stage of meiosis after subsequent standard in vitro maturation (IVM). On the contrary supplementation of IVM or embryo culture media had no effects on blastocysts rates and embryo quality, as assessed by cell number per embryo. In conclusion, zinc supplementation can greatly improve the exploitation of the ovarian reserve since it increases the meiotic competence of growing oocytes, which are usually discarded in standard IVP settings. These results are in accordance with in vivo studies in mouse, showing the detrimental effects of zinc deficiency before ovulation on subsequent maturation and embryonic development (Tian & Diaz, 2013). On the contrary, bovine fully-grown oocyte from MAF seems able to compensate for zinc absence in the in vitro culture medium.

description: The histopathological assessment of the first node receiving lymphatic drainage from a tumor – defined as Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) – is essential to determine stage, therapy and outcome in oncological patients. Both in human and veterinary medicine, lymphoscintigraphy is a recognized procedure for SLN detection (Mariani et al., 2004; Tuohy et al., 2009; Beer et al., 2017). In this study, we want to determine the most suitable pre-operative planar lymphoscintigraphy protocol for SLN mapping in dogs with mast cell tumor (MCT). We selected 5 dogs diagnosed with cutaneous MTC, with clinically negative lymph nodes and no distant metastasis, undergoing surgical tumor removal, and we obtained owner’s written consent. Planar lymphoscintigraphy was performed in patients under general anesthesia, after subcutaneous peritumoral injection of different doses of technetium-99m (Tc-99m) labelled colloid diluted reaching a 0.5 ml volume (Worley, 2014). The MegaBecquerel value (MBq) of the syringe was measured before and after the injection. Dynamic images (1 frame/second for 60 seconds) were taken at the moment of the injection, 3 and 8 minutes after the injection. Ventrodorsal (VD) and lateral (L) static images (120 seconds/frame) were taken until the identification of SLN had been made. If needed, the injection site was masked with a 2-mm lead foil. Results are showed in Table 1. In patient 1, the SLN was not identify, probably due to a superimposition with the injection site. During the study, we increased the injected MBq dose, in order to better visualize lymphatic path and SLN (Balogh et al., 2002). In fact, the number of static images needed to identify SLN have been reduced from 8,7 to 6. Masking the injection site proved to be useful for a better visualization of SLN. Dynamic images showed to be unnecessary for the SLN identification. For further studies, we suggest the injection of minimum 23,5 MBq Tc-99m activity and the acquisition of VD and L static images with and without masking the injection site.

description: In many countries of Europe rabbit meat is consumed for its nutritional characteristics, (Dalle Zotte, 2014; Hernández and Gondret, 2006). Since the ban of the use of antibiotic as growth promoter, natural substances have been studied as alternative with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobic and antiviral properties. The aim was to evaluate the effect of a dietary supplementation with natural extract mixture in growing rabbit on growth performances, carcass characteristics and Longissimus lumborum (LL) muscle parameters. The trial was performed at the Research Institute for Animal Production (Nitra, Slovak Republic) and lasted 42 days. At 35 days of age, 144 New Zealand White rabbits were randomly selected and divided in 3 experimental groups (4 rabbits/cage). The first fed a basal diet, the second (T1) and the third one (T2) received 0.3% and 0.6% of natural extract mixture, containing polyphenols from plants and seaweeds.  Dietary integration with natural extract improve (P<0.05) growth performances (ADG, FI and FC) in T1 group. The fatty acid composition of LL muscle was positively affected (P=0.037) by natural extract supplementation with an increase of n-3 FA in T2 group than other treatments. Cholesterol content tended to be lower in T2 group (P=0.082) than T1 and C group (24.8 mg/100g T2 vs 34.6 mg/100g T1 vs 33.2 mg/100g C). Sensory analysis revealed that only the aroma was affected (P<0.05) by dietary treatments. Overall these results highlight that dietary supplementation with natural extract mixture, containing polyphenols from plants and seaweeds enhance growth performances, carcass weight, improving LL muscle nutritional parameters.

description: The Italian goat autochthonous breeds are appreciated for their milk and characteristics, especially for the rusticity, frugality, fertility and longevity. For these reasons the local goat breeds play an important role in the livestock sector, and it is important to guarantee sanitary strategies control, prevention or treatment of diseases. It is well known that the hematological parameters in goats undergo changes in relation with many factors like breed, age (Piccione et al. 2014), physiological/reproductive status environmental factors and stress (Waziri M.A. et al. 2010).  Based on these differences it is necessary to establish appropriate physiological baseline values for every single breed which could be used in the realistic evaluation physiological or pathological status of the animal (Arfuso et al. 2016). The aim of this work was to evaluate the differences between a local goat breed (Verzasca) and a cosmopolite one (Alpine) from the hematological point of view, and to establish hematological reference values. A total number of 71 female goats, of Alpine (n=37), and Verzasca (n=34) were enrolled for this study, for a total of 716 blood samples. Data were processed by a mixed model-repeated measures ANCOVA in order to evaluate the effects of breed, parity, and season, while baseline values for each breed have been calculated by evaluating the 2.5-97.5th  percentile of variables distribution.

The results showed that the breeds differ in a significant manner (Table 1). Verzasca goat shows significantly higher values in the erythroid parameters, whereas the Alpine goat shows higher mean values of leucocyte count and absolute neutrophil count. A further interesting result is the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio which is 0.96  in the Alpine and 0,57 in the Verzasca.

The results here presented can add some knowledge to the definition of the health status of the two breeds, evidencing some environmental and physiological variation mechanisms.

description: Mycobacteria in cats are responsible for cutaneous or visceral disease, often with systemic involvement (Gunn-Moore et al., 2011). Infection can be sustained by tuberculous (e.g. M.bovis) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (e.g. M.avium and M.lepraemurium) (Lee et al., 2017). The aim of this study is to evaluate the distribution of the lesions in feline visceral mycobacteriosis.
Twenty-nine necropsy cases of feline visceral mycobacteriosis, conferred from 1965 to 2017, were studied. On histopathology hematoxylin-eosin and acid-fast stains were performed. Mycobacteria strains were identified by microbiological and molecular methods.

Twenty-three out of 29 cases were submitted for necropsy in autumn and winter. When breed was known: nine cats were Persian, 8 Siamese and 10 crossbreed. In 17 out of 24 cases where age was known, it was lesser than 5 years. Two cases had lesions confined to the digestive system, 3 to the respiratory system, while 24 cases were systemic forms. Thirteen cases out of 29 were identified: 2 as Mycobacterium spp, 7 as M.bovis and 4 as M.avium.

Siamese, Persian breeds and young cats were overrepresented as already described (Gunn-Moore, 2014). The occurrence of mycobacterioses in our cases was higher during cold seasons, contrary to the man in which tuberculosis is a long term localized disease, more often diagnosed in summer even if acquired in winter; in cat the disease tends to generalize making shorter the course of the disease (Fares, 2011). This is confirmed by lesions’ distribution that indicates a greater occurrence of systemic compared to localized forms. Features of gastrointestinal lesions indicate the alimentary as the primary route of infection (Fig.1). Since the most recent cases were sustained exclusively by M.avium, while older cases were caused by M.bovis, a switching in the most diffused species or a different source of infection might occurred in the last years (Pesciaroli et al., 2014).

The fight against these criminal phenomena must be developed not only on the side of the prosecution, but also on the side of the prevention, with administrative tools focused on the detection of suspicious conducts and the protection of the integrity.
In the Italian anti-money laundering system the Financial Intelligence Unit acts as a “filter” between the entities obliged to report suspicious transactions and the law-enforcement authorities in charge of financial crimes investigations and prosecutions. The effectiveness of the Italian system has been recognized in the recent mutual evaluation conducted by the FATF-IMF, and the importance of the role of the UIF has been emphasized, due to the quantitative and qualitative growth of STRs, the significant contribution to the detection of financial crimes, and the capacity to cooperate and exchange information at domestic and international level. The fight against corruption could benefit from further consolidation of this role.

description: Francis Alÿs's, Santiago Sierra's, and Tania Bruguera´s artistic practices occupy an "in between" space, lodged between Western constructions and non-Western counter-narratives, active as a site for transcultural dialogues. Born in Belgium, Francis Alÿs moved to Mexico City in the late 1980s. Similarly, in the late 1990s, the Spanish artist Santiago Sierra also relocated to Mexico City. Inverting this migratory pattern (from North to South), in the late 1990s, Cuban artist Tania Bruguera migrated to the United States. These physical displacements, along with their ensuing cultural dislocations, have effectively exposed these three contemporary artists to different notions about the benefits and shortcomings of both the ideology of modernity and the historical construction of "The West". This paper explores how these narratives have been debunked, appropriated and criticized by works such as Politics of Rehearsal (Alÿs), Jewels Collection (Sierra and Burés), and Cátedra Arte de Conducta (Bruguera). By paying close attention to each work's contexts and conditions of possibility, I investigate how each articulates a complex process of three of the main tenets of modernity: the teleological orientation of time, the emancipatory role of art, and the separation between art and life.

description: Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease in which the definitive diagnosis is achieved by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on post-mortem biopsies. The clinical suspicion is aroused by signalment, clinical signs and several laboratory tests, including alpha-1-acid glycoprotein measurement for which the only validated kit is no longer available. Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) is a serum enzyme with antioxidant activity, considered as a negative acute phase protein in several species. Since inflammation plays a major role in FIP, and due to the high susceptibility of cats to oxidation, it could be of great interest the evaluation of this enzyme as a diagnostic marker for FIP. The aim of this study was to measure paraoxonase-1 in healthy cats and cats with clinical signs consistent with FIP (both wet or dry form), in order to evaluate the utility of this parameter in the diagnosis of FIP. Sixty-two cats were enrolled and divided into three groups: healthy (n=16), confirmed FIP (n=22) and NON FIP with similar clinical signs (n=24). PON-1 was measured on serum, using a paraoxon-based enzymatic method, already validated in cats. Results showed significantly lower PON-1 activity in FIP cats (mean ± SD: 29.1 ± 16.3 U/mL; median: 24.4; IQR: 16.6-38.3), compared with healthy cats (90.1 ± 24.1 U/mL; median: 86.0; IQR: 76.7-105.7; P<0.001) and with “non-FIP” cats (55.9 ± 28.3 U/mL; median: 51.9; IQR: 35.7-68.8, P<0.001). A significant difference was also found between healthy and “non-FIP” cats (P<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve demonstrated that PON-1 may discriminate cats with and without FIP (Fig.1). At the cut-off that maximizes the diagnostic power of the test, sensitivity and specificity for FIP were 77% each, suggesting that PON-1 may be a reliable marker in association with other confirmatory tests and with signs consistent with the disease.

description: Recently, many studies in livestock have focused on the identification of Copy Number Variants (CNVs) using high-density Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) arrays, but few have focused on studying chicken ecotypes coming from many locations. CNVs are polymorphisms, which may influence phenotype and are an important source of genetic variation in populations. The aim of this study was to explore the genetic difference and structure, using a high density SNP chip in 936 individuals from seven different countries (Brazil, Italy, Egypt, Mexico, Rwanda, Sri Lanka and Uganda). The DNA was genotyped with the Affymetrix Axiom®600k Chicken Genotyping Array and processed with stringent quality controls to obtain 559,201 SNPs in 915 individuals. The Log R Ratio (LRR) and the B Allele Frequency of SNPs were used to perform the CNV calling with PennCNV software based on a Hidden Markov Model analysis and the LRR was used to perform CNV detection with SVS Golden Helix software.After filtering, a total of 19,027 CNVs were detected with the SVS software, while 9,065 CNVs were identified with the Penn CNV software. The CNVs were summarized in 7,001 Copy Number Variant Regions (CNVRs) and 4,414 CNVRs, using the software BedTool.The consensus analysis across the CNVRs allowed the identification of 2,820 consensus CNVR, of which 1,721 were gain, 637 loss and 462 complex, for a total length of 53 Mb corresponding to the 5 % of the GalGal5 chicken autosomes. Only the consensus CNV regions obtained from both detections were considered for further analysis.The intersection analysis performed between the chicken gene database (Gallus_gallus-5.0) and the 1,927 consensus CNVRs allowed the identification (within or partial overlap) of a total of 2,354 unique genes with an official gene ID.  The CNVRs identified here represent the first comprehensive mapping in several worldwide populations, using a high-density SNP chip.

description: Feed additives are commonly used to improve pig performance and health, but they need to be tested so new biomarkers for intestinal health, non- or minimally invasive, are under investigations.

The quantification of Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and Pancreatitis Associated Protein (PAP) in feces could prove useful to non-invasively monitor intestinal health (Niewold, 2015). MPO is an enzyme that permits to quantify the number of inflammatory cells present in tissues and feces (Prokopowicz et al., 2012) , while PAP is a protein mainly produced in the small intestine with anti-inflammatory and bactericidal activity (Cash et al., 2006; Mukherjee et al., 2014). Because of the lack of a commercial ELISA kit for porcine PAP detection, the main aim of this study was to develop and validate a new sandwich ELISA test for the quantification of PAP in pig fecal samples. Our study consisted of two phases: test development and test validation. During the development phase we used polyclonal antibodies previously immunized from rabbit serum with a pure peptide containing the N-terminus of pig PAP (Soler et al., 2015). The validation of the test was then performed with fecal extraction samples derived from animals with known high or low growth performance.

Moreover, the temperature stability of PAP in feces and the optimal extraction method was tested. Even if only preliminary, our results seem to show a fair relationship between fecal consistency, used as health indicator, and PAP fecal concentrations. Furthermore, no relevant differences in PAP concentration after 24h of incubation at 37 °C, 4°C or room temperature were detected.

To date, the present results suggest that PAP seems to be exceptionally stable in feces and is a very promising candidate as a non-invasive (fecal) biomarker for intestinal health and growth.
