Exploring the Probiotic Potential of Bacteroides spp. Within One Health Paradigm - Muhammad Aammar Tufail; Ruth A. Schmitz (Probiotics and Antimicrobial Proteins, 2025)
Probiotics are pivotal in maintaining or restoring the balance of human intestinal microbiota, a crucial factor in mitigating diseases and preserving the host’s health. Exploration into Bacteroides spp. reveals substantial promise in their development as next-generation probiotics due to their profound interaction with host immune cells and capability to regulate the microbiome’s metabolism by significantly impacting metabolite production. These beneficial bacteria exhibit potential in ameliorating various health issues such as intestinal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, behavioral disorders, and even cancer. Though it’s important to note that a high percentage of them are as well opportunistic pathogens, posing risks under certain conditions. Studies highlight their role in modifying immune responses and improving health conditions by regulating lymphocytes, controlling metabolism, and preventing inflammation and cancer. The safety and efficacy of Bacteroides strains are currently under scrutiny by the European Commission for authorization in food processing, marking a significant step towards their commercialization. The recent advancements in bacterial isolation and sequencing methodologies, coupled with the integration of Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs) binning from metagenomics data, continue to unveil the potential of Bacteroides spp., aiding in the broader understanding and application of these novel probiotics in health and disease management.

Climate change perception, adaptation, and constraints in irrigated agriculture in Punjab and Sindh, Pakistan - Muhammad Mobeen; Khondokar H. Kabir; Uwe A. Schneider; Tauqeer Ahmed; Jürgen Scheffran (Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, 2025)
Pakistan's irrigated agriculture suffers from climate change due to its high exposure to climate extreme events and the low adaptation of its farming systems. Understanding the human aspects of adaptation decisions in a vulnerable climatic environment is integral for policymakers who want to enhance farmers’ adaptive capacity. This study investigates how farmers perceive climate change and what adaptation strategies they consider. Furthermore, we assess the enabling and constraining factors influencing farmers’ adaptation decisions. We conducted in-person interviews with 800 farmers across Pakistan's irrigated districts of the Punjab and Sindh provinces. We used a standardized questionnaire to gather primary cross-sectional data, which we analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results show that farmers in the Indus Plain have noticed changes in climate extremes along with longer summer and shorter winter seasons during the last ten years. Most farmers are aware of adaptation options and have already applied some measures. However, the dominant adaptation strategies differ between regions. The farmers in Punjab have primarily adopted crop and farm management practices, while farmers in Sindh have focused on implementing irrigation measures. In both provinces, farmers regarded rainwater harvesting as the least adopted strategy due to perceived lower effectiveness and practical challenges. The main constraints in the region are a lack of financial resources, water scarcity, and poor soil fertility. Farming decisions are primarily influenced by the availability of financial capital, and specific challenges such as variable rainfall patterns and rising temperatures. Our findings can help policymakers design better policy instruments that account for farmers’ perceptions, motivations, and constraints and are thus more effective in promoting sustainable farming practices in Pakistan.

Development of a genotype-matched Newcastle disease DNA vaccine candidate adjuvanted with IL-28b for the control of targeted velogenic strains of Newcastle disease virus in Africa - Charlie F. Amoia; Augustino A. Chengula; Jean N. Hakizimana; Philemon N. Wambura; Muhammad Munir; Gerald Misinzo; James Weger-Lucarelli (Veterinary Research Communications, 2025)
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an extremely contagious and deadly virus that affects numerous bird species, posing serious threats to poultry production on a global scale. In addition to implementing biosecurity practices in farming systems, vaccination remains the most effective means of controlling Newcastle disease (ND). However, while existing commercial vaccines provide some level of protection, the effectiveness of these vaccines can be questionable, particularly in field settings where the complexity of vaccination program implementation poses significant challenges, especially against virulent genotypes of NDV. A genotype-matched NDV DNA vaccine could potentially offer a more effective vaccination approach than currently available live attenuated vaccines. By being specifically tailored to match circulating strains, such a vaccine might improve efficacy and reduce the risk of vaccine failure due to genotype mismatch. To develop an alternative vaccine approach, two ND DNA vaccines were constructed in this study. Each vaccine developed in this study contains the fusion (F) and haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) genes of a virulent NDV genotype VII isolate from Tanzania. Interferon lambda-3 (IFNλ3; IL-28b), which has demonstrated capacity to significantly enhance specific adaptive immune responses and decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines, as well as improved protective responses at a high viral challenge dose, was included in one of the developed vaccines. These plasmids were designated pTwist-F-HN-VII-IL28b and pTwist-F-HN-VII. The two plasmids differed in that pTwist-F-HN-VII-IL28b contained the cytokine adjuvant IL-28b. Transfection of cells and subsequent immunofluorescence assays indicated that both plasmids expressed high levels of NDV F-HN proteins. In vivo immunization demonstrated that chicks intramuscularly immunized with pTwist-F-HN-VII-IL28b exhibited significant immune responses compared to chicks immunized with pTwist-F-HN-VII or the commonly used LaSota vaccine (LaSota), which was used as a control. The protective efficacy of pTwist-F-HN-VII-IL28b was 80% after challenge with the highly virulent NDV strain ON148423, compared to 60% for chicks vaccinated using LaSota, and pTwist-F-HN-VII. The findings of this study indicate that IL-28b can be employed as a molecular adjuvant for NDV vaccines. This study represents a key milestone in Newcastle disease vaccine research, particularly in the development of a genotype-matched DNA vaccine candidate. Additionally, this study demonstrated that the combination of F, HN, and IL-28b elicits an efficacious immune response against virulent NDV strains.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a collection of intestinal disorders that cause inflammation in the digestive tract. Prolonged inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer. The objective of this study was to fucus on gene expression levels of ( KRT-14 ; associated with epithelial cell integrity) and enhancer of zeste homolog-1 ( EZH-2; involved in cellular proliferation) in a IBD rat model in order to rule out impact of nutraceuticals (pumpkin seed oil; PSO) as a complementary approach to conventional treatments of IBD. In the current study, IBD was induced using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Following acclimatization, rats were separated into three groups: the negative control, the positive control, and the treatment group. The DSS (1 ml/kg bw) was given to the positive control and treatment groups. Negative control was given only a normal diet. Pumpkin seed oil (PSO) was given orally as a treatment (0.5 ml/kg bw). Blood and colon tissue were obtained on the 5 th , 10 th , 14 th, and 18 th days. Physical parameters, hematology, biochemical assays, gene expression, and histopathology were carried out. After statistical analyses, macroscopic parameters showed significant differences. Biochemical analyses revealed a significant ( P ≤ 0.05) decrease in serum potassium concentrations, total cholesterol, triglycerides, total proteins, total oxidants status, and C-reactive proteins in PSO treated group as compared with positive control. Gene expression levels of KRT-14 and EZH2 were significantly ( P ≤ 0.05) upregulated in PSO treated group as compared to positive control group. Histopathology revealed that pumpkin seed oil preserved the structural integrity of colon.

Environmental Conditions Modulate Warming Effects on Plant Litter Decomposition Globally - Sarah Schwieger; Ellen Dorrepaal; Matteo Petit Bon; Vigdis Vandvik; Elizabeth le Roux; Maria Strack; Yan Yang; Susanna Venn; Johan van den Hoogen; Fernando Valiño; Haydn J. D. Thomas; Mariska te Beest; et al. (Ecology Letters, 2025)
Empirical studies worldwide show that warming has variable effects on plant litter decomposition, leaving the overall impact of climate change on decomposition uncertain. We conducted a meta‐analysis of 109 experimental warming studies across seven continents, using natural and standardised plant material, to assess the overarching effect of warming on litter decomposition and identify potential moderating factors. We determined that at least 5.2° of warming is required for a significant increase in decomposition. Overall, warming did not have a significant effect on decomposition at a global scale. However, we found that warming reduced decomposition in warmer, low‐moisture areas, while it slightly increased decomposition in colder regions, although this increase was not significant. This is particularly relevant given the past decade's global warming trend at higher latitudes where a large proportion of terrestrial carbon is stored. Future changes in vegetation towards plants with lower litter quality, which we show were likely to be more sensitive to warming, could increase carbon release and reduce the amount of organic matter building up in the soil. Our findings highlight how the interplay between warming, environmental conditions, and litter characteristics improves predictions of warming's impact on ecosystem processes, emphasising the importance of considering context‐specific factors.

Empagliflozin-activated AMPK elicits neuroprotective properties in reserpine-induced depression via regulating dynamics of hippocampal autophagy/inflammation and PKCζ-mediated neurogenesis - Radwa N. Muhammad; Mohammed A. Albahairy; Mai A. Abd El Fattah; Weam W. Ibrahim (Psychopharmacology, 2024)
Rationale Major depression has been an area of extensive research during the last decades, for it represents a leading cause of disability and suicide. The stark rise of depression rates influenced by life stressors, economic threats, pandemic era, and resistance to classical treatments, has made the disorder rather challenging. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis and plasticity are particularly sensitive to the dynamic interplay between autophagy and inflammation. In fact, the intricate balance between the two processes contributes to neuronal homeostasis and survival. Objectives Having demonstrated promising potentials in AMPK activation, a major metabolic sensor and autophagy regulator, empagliflozin (Empa) was investigated for possible antidepressant properties in the reserpine rat model of depression. Results While the reserpine protocol elicited behavioral, biochemical, and histopathological changes relevant to depression, Empa outstandingly hindered these pathological perturbations. Importantly, hippocampal autophagic response markedly declined with reserpine which disrupted the AMPK/mTOR/Beclin1/LC3B machinery and, conversely, neuro-inflammation prevailed under the influence of the NLRP3 inflammasome together with oxidative/nitrative stress. Consequently, AMPK-mediated neurotrophins secretion obviously deteriorated through PKCζ/NF-κB/BDNF/CREB signal restriction. Empa restored hippocampal monoamines and autophagy/inflammation balance, driven by AMPK activation. By promoting the atypical PKCζ phosphorylation (Thr403) which subsequently phosphorylates NF-κB at Ser311, AMPK successfully reinforced BDNF/CREB signal and hippocampal neuroplasticity. The latter finding was supported by hippocampal CA3 toluidine blue staining to reveal intact neurons. Conclusion The current study highlights an interesting role for Empa as a regulator of autophagic and inflammatory responses in the pathology of depression. The study also pinpoints an unusual contribution for NF-κB in neurotrophins secretion via AMPK/PKCζ/NF-κB/BDNF/CREB signal transduction. Accordingly, Empa can have special benefits in diabetic patients with depressive symptoms. Limitations The influence of p -NF-κB (Ser311) on NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation has not been investigated, which can represent an interesting point for further research.

The present study outlines an easy, cheap, and environmentally friendly way to make Staphylococcus aureus -mediated bimetallic silver-copper nanocomposites (Ag/Cu) that can fight cancer and germs. The gram-positive S. aureus synthesized Ag, Cu, and their bi-metallic nanocomposites extracellularly. We aimed to prepare the bimetallic nanocomposite in two different ways, and we compared them in terms of characterization and biological applications. The first one is a bimetallic nanocomposite (Ag/Cu b ) that was made by mixing Ag and Cu metal ions in equal amounts (50:50). Then, the whole mixture was reduced. The second is the after-reduction bimetallic nanocomposite (Ag/Cu a ), in which each metal ion was reduced separately, and then the nanocomposites were mixed (50:50%) during biological applications. Nanocomposites were characterized using UV–visible spectrophotometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that surface plasmon bands were at 320 nm for Ag NPs and 525 nm for Cu NPs, and a shift from these peaks was observed at 290 nm in the Ag/Cu b bimetallic nanocomposite. The synthesized nanocomposites were confirmed to be in the nanoscale with 20, 40, and 80 nm spherical crystals, respectively. Nanocomposites were assayed for their antimicrobial activity against the gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa , the acid-fast Mycobacterium smegmatis , the gram-positive Bacillus cereus, and S. aureus, in addition to three fungal species, which were Aspergillus flavus , A. fumigatus, and Candida albicans . The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration were determined. The Ag/Cua/Cuaetallic nanocomposite was the most potent antimicrobial compound. The anticancer activity of the tested compounds was assayed against the hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG-2). Low cytotoxic activity was recorded in most assayed nanocomposites against the baby hamster kidney cell line (BHK).

Snow leopards ( Panthera uncia ) inhabit the mountainous regions of High Asia, which experienced serial glacial contraction and expansion during climatic cycles of the Pleistocene. The corresponding impacts of glacial vicariance may have alternately promoted or constrained genetic differentiation to shape the distribution of genetic lineages and population structure. We studied snow leopard phylogeography across High Asia by examining range-wide historical and contemporary genetic structure with mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite markers. We genotyped 182 individuals from across snow leopard range and sequenced portions of the mitogenome in a spatially stratified subset of 80 individuals to infer historical biogeographic and contemporary patterns of genetic diversity. We observed a lack of phylogeographic structure, and analyses suggested a single refugial origin for all sampled populations. Molecular data provided tentative evidence of a hypothesized glacial refugia in the Tian Shan-Pamir-Hindu Kush-Karakoram mountain ranges, and detected mixed signatures of population expansion. Concordant assessments of microsatellite data indicated two global genetic populations, though we detected geographic differences between historical and contemporary population structure and connectivity inferred from mitochondrial and microsatellite data, respectively. Using the largest sample size and geographic coverage to date, we demonstrate novel information on the phylogeographic history of snow leopards, and corroborate existing interpretations of snow leopard connectivity and genetic structure. We recommend that conservation efforts incorporate genetic data to define and protect meaningful conservation units and their underlying genetic diversity, and to maintain the snow leopard’s adaptive potential and continued resilience to environmental changes.

Earthworm, Perionyx excavatus as an alternate protein source for Nile tilapia: Effects on growth performance, blood biochemistry, erythrocyte morphology and intestinal health - Bethi Das; S. M. Majharul Islam; Sudipta Kumar Nag; Al-Azim; Ioannis N. Vatsos; Muhammad A. B. Siddik (Aquaculture International, 2024)
Recently, an increasing disparity has emerged in the need for raw fish meal (FM) and its supply, along with the environmental and financial obstacles associated with its use. Therefore, increasing and elevating the diversity of alternative protein sources for aquaculture nutrition is imperative. The study investigated the impact of substituting FM protein with EW meal on the growth, haemato-biochemical response and intestinal histomorphology of Nile tilapia. Up to 20% fishmeal replacement with EW meal had no adverse effects on fish growth performance. A quadratic analysis of the final body weight and EW meal level indicated the best growth performance at 17.5% replacement. Fish fed the 40% replacement level had significantly decreased height and width of intestinal folds and number of mucosal goblet cells compared to the control. Although red and white blood cell counts were found unchanged between the control, the 10% and 20% replacement groups, a significantly higher number of white blood cells and a lower number of red blood cells were found in the 40% group compared to the control. Blood glucose level was the highest, while haemoglobin level was the lowest in the 40% group. In the same group, significantly higher frequencies of erythrocyte cellular and nuclear abnormalities were noted. Lipid droplet accumulation in the liver was significantly higher in the 40% group, whilst the 10% and 20% groups showed no significant difference compared to the control.

Congenital heart defects (CHD) appear in almost one percent of live births. Asian countries have the highest birth prevalence of CHD in the world. Recessive genotypes may represent a CHD risk factor in Asian populations with a high degree of consanguineous marriages. Genetic analysis of consanguineous families may represent a relatively unexplored source for investigating CHD etiology. To obtain insight into the contribution of recessive genotypes in CHD we analysed a cohort of forty-nine Pakistani CHD probands, originating from consanguineous unions. The majority (82%) of patient’s malformations were septal defects. We identified protein altering, rare homozygous variants (RHVs) in the patient’s coding genome by whole exome sequencing. The patients had a median of seven damaging RHVs each, and our analysis revealed a total of 758 RHVs in 693 different genes. By prioritizing these genes based on variant severity, loss-of-function intolerance and specific expression in the developing heart, we identified a set of 23 candidate disease genes. These candidate genes were significantly enriched for genes known to cause heart defects in recessive mouse models (P < 2.4e−06). In addition, we found a significant enrichment of cilia genes in both the initial set of 693 genes (P < 5.4e−04) and the 23 candidate disease genes (P < 5.2e−04). Functional investigation of ADCY6 in cell- and zebrafish-models verified its role in heart development. Our results confirm a significant role for cilia genes in recessive forms of CHD and suggest important functions of cilia genes in cardiac septation.
