AI Article Synopsis

  • Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), especially sialyllacto-tetraose c (LST c), are crucial for infant health, prompting research into their efficient production.
  • The study utilized multivariate modular metabolic engineering (MMME) to enhance the biosynthesis of LST c by optimizing sialyltransferases and metabolic pathways in microbial strains.
  • The engineered strain W15 achieved a high LST c production, with a concentration of 922.2 mg/L in fed-batch fermentation, demonstrating a successful strategy for producing this important oligosaccharide.

Article Abstract

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have attracted considerable interest for their vital role in supporting infant health. Among these, sialyllacto--tetraose c (LST c), a pentasaccharide with the structure Neu5Ac(α2,6)Gal(β1,4)GlcNAc(β1,3)Gal(β1,4)Glc, stands out due to its critical importance in the development and application of complex HMOs. In this study, we employed multivariate modular metabolic engineering (MMME) to screen for efficient sialyltransferases and balance metabolic fluxes, successfully constructing strains capable of LST c biosynthesis. Additionally, by blocking competing pathway genes, enhancing the supply of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-Gal precursors, and establishing a CTP cofactor regeneration system, we developed a high-yielding strain, W15. This strain achieved an LST c titer of 220.9 mg/L in shake flask cultures. In a 3-L fed-batch fermentation, the LST c concentration reached 922.2 mg/L, with a productivity of 10.25 mg/L/h and a specific yield of 38.70 mg/g DCW. This research provides an effective strategy for producing LST c in microbial cell factories.

The cell of origin (COO) classification is an expression-based tumor algorithm identifying molecular subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with distinct prognostic characteristics. Traditional immunohistochemical methods for classifying COO subtypes have poor concordance and limited prognostic value in frontline DLBCL. In contrast, RNA-based metrics like the NanoString Lymphoma Subtyping Test (LST) define more robust subtypes with validated prognostic associations.

Objective: To explore the prognosis and influencing factors of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to late stent thrombosis (LST) and very late stent thrombosis (VLST).

Methods: Patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI caused by LST and VLST at Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and long-term follow-up was conducted. The baseline clinical features, laboratory examination indicators, echocardiography results, coronary angiography and intervention treatment characteristics, and antiplatelet treatment status of patients were collected.
