AI Article Synopsis
- New hexylitaconic acid derivatives (1-4) and (3S)-hexylitaconic acid (5) were isolated from a sponge-derived fungus, Penicillium sp.
- The structures of these compounds were identified as α,β-dicarboxylic acid derivatives, similar to previously reported metabolites from other fungal species.
- Compounds 1 and 4 exhibited weak inhibition of IL-1β production at a concentration of 200 µM, suggesting some potential anti-inflammatory activity.
Article Abstract
In the course of our search for bioactive metabolites from marine organisms, new hexylitaconic acid derivatives (1-4), along with (3S)-hexylitaconic acid (5), were isolated from a sponge-derived fungus Penicillium sp. Based on the NMR and MS data, the structures of compounds 1-4 were defined as α,β-dicarboxylic acid derivatives, such as hexylitaconic acid and tensyuic acids which were previously reported as metabolite of Aspergillus niger, Penicillium striatisporum, or Apiospora montagnei. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against a panel of five human solid tumor cell lines, and for anti-inflammatory activity gauged by their inhibitory effects on the production of major pro-inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide (NO), interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-1β) in murine macrophage cells. Compounds 1 and 4 showed weak inhibition of IL-1β production at the concentration of 200 µM.

Sponges harbour complex microbiomes and as ancient metazoans and important ecosystem players are emerging as powerful models to understand the evolution and ecology of symbiotic interactions. Metagenomic studies have previously described the functional features of sponge symbionts, however, little is known about the metabolic interactions and processes that occur under different environmental conditions. To address this issue, we construct here constraint-based, genome-scale metabolic networks for the microbiome of the sponge Stylissa sp.

Overexpression of a global transcriptional regulator LaeA was performed to awaken cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in a marine sponge-derived fungus, Aspergillus niger L14, to obtain secondary metabolites (SMs), and resulted in the production of five previously undiscovered SMs in the wild-type strain, including three cyclic lipopeptides aspochracin (1), JBIR-15 (2) sclerotiotide C (3), kojic acid (4) and penicillic acid (5). Bioassays revealed that compound 2 displayed promising antimicrobial effects on Candida albicans with a minimum inhibitory concentration value of 32 µg/mL and 4 exhibited significant antioxidant activity with a similar half-maximal inhibitory concentration value (5 µg/mL) to that of ascorbic acid. Transcriptome analysis results indicated that the overexpression of LaeA in strain L14 remarkably enhanced the expression of genes involved in polyketide synthase-non-ribosomal peptide synthetase hybrids and amino acid metabolism, demonstrating an effective approach for the production of cyclic lipopeptides.

The basal metazoan phylum Porifera (sponges) is increasingly used as a model to investigate ecological and evolutionary features of microbe-animal symbioses. However, sponges often host complex microbiomes, which has hampered our understanding of their interactions with their microbial symbionts. Here, we describe the discovery and characterization of the simplest sponge holobiont reported to date, consisting of the deep-sea glass sponge Aphrocallistes beatrix and two newly-described microbial symbionts: an autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing archaeon and a bacterial heterotroph.
