Plant cell and organ cultures of Helianthella quinquenervis, a medicinal plant whose roots are used by the Tarahumara Indians of Chihuahua, Mexico, to relieve several ailments, were established to identify and quantify some chromenes with biological activity, such as encecalin, and to evaluate their potential for biotechnological production.
-
- Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis corroborated the presence of quantifiable amounts of encecalin in H. quinquenervis cell cultures (callus and cell suspensions).
-
- In addition, hairy roots were obtained through three transformation protocols (prick, 45-s sonication and co-culture), using wild type Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4.
-
- After three months, cocultivation achieved the highest percentage of transformation (66%), and a comparable production (FW) of encecalin (110 μg/g) than the sonication assay (120 μg/g), both giving far higher yields than the prick assay (19 μg/g).
-
- Stable integration of rolC and aux1 genes in the transformed roots was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Hairy roots from cocultivation (six months-old) accumulated as much as 1086 μg/g (FW) of encecalin, over three times higher than the cell suspension cultures. The production of encecalin varied with growth kinetics, being higher at the stationary phase.
This is the first report of encecalin production in hairy roots of H. quinquenervis, demonstrating the potential for a future biotechnological production of chromenes.

Intrinsic Type 1 Interferon (IFN1) Profile of Uncultured Human Bone Marrow CD45 low CD271 + Multipotential Stromal Cells (BM-MSCs): The Impact of Donor Age, Culture Expansion and IFNα and IFNβ Stimulation
Skeletal aging is associated with reduced proliferative potential of bone marrow (BM) multipotential stromal cells (MSCs). Recent data suggest the involvement of type 1 interferon (IFN1) signalling in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) senescence.
Considering that BM-HSCs and BM-MSCs share the same BM niche, we investigated IFN1 expression profile in human BM-MSCs in relation to donor age, culture-expansion and IFN1 (α and β) stimulation.
-
- Fluorescence-activated cell sorting was used to purify uncultured BM-MSCs from younger (19-41, n = 6) and older (59-89, n = 6) donors based on the CD45lowCD271+ phenotype, and hematopoietic-lineage cells (BM-HLCs, CD45+CD271–) were used as controls.
-
- Gene expression was analysed using integrated circuits arrays in sorted fractions as well as cultured/stimulated BM-MSCs and Y201/Y202 immortalised cell lines.
-
- IFN1 stimulation led to BM-MSC growth arrest and upregulation of many IFN1-stimulated genes (ISGs), with IFNβ demonstrating stronger effects. Uncultured MSCs were characterised by a moderate-level ISG expression similar to Y201 cells.
Age-related changes in ISG expression were negligible in BM-MSCs compared to BM-HLCs, and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in BM-MSCs did not significantly correlate with donor age. Antiaging genes Klotho and SIRT6 correlated with more ISGs in BM-MSCs than in BM-HLCs.
In patients with osteoarthritis (OA), BM-MSCs expressed considerably lower levels of several ISGs, indicating that their IFN1 signature is affected in a pathological condition. In summary, BM-MSCs possess homeostatic IFN1 gene expression signature in health, which is sensitive to in vitro culture and external IFN1 stimulation. IFN signalling may facilitate in vivo BM-MSC responses to DNA damage and combating senescence and aberrant immune activation.

Ozone disinfection kinetics of poliovirus 1 determined by cell culture assay, RT-qPCR, and Ethidium Monoazide qPCR Reduction in a Continuous Quench-Flow Reactor
Aims:Â A continuous quench-flow (CQF) reactor was developed to collect samples at the reaction times of less than one second. The reactor is applied to determine ozone disinfection kinetics of poliovirus and to study whether EMA-qPCR can assess the viral infectivity after ozone disinfection.
Methods:Â Ozone disinfection of poliovirus was conducted in the developed CQF, and the disinfection kinetics were tested in the range of 0.7 – 5.0 seconds at ozone concentration of 0.08 and 0.25 mg/L. Inactivation, damage on viral genome and damage on capsid integrity were determined by plaque assay, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and ethidium monoazide treatment coupled with RT-qPCR (EMA-qPCR), respectively.
Postsynthetic Functionalization of DNA-Nanocomposites with Proteins Yields Bioinstructive Matrices for Cell Culture Applications
We report on the directed postsynthetic functionalization of soft DNA nanocomposite materials with proteins. Using the example of the functionalization of silica nanoparticle-modified DNA polymer materials with agonists or antagonists of the epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR cell membrane receptor, we demonstrate that hierarchically structured interfaces to living cells can be established.
Due to the modular design principle, even complex DNA nanostructures can also be integrated into the materials, thereby enabling the high-precision arrangement of ligands on the lower nanometer length scale. We believe that such complex biohybrid material systems can be used for new applications in biotechnology.
Keywords:Â DNA nanocomposites; DNA origami nanostructure; epidermal growth factor receptor; phosphorylation; protein-DNA conjugates.
