Abstract

When lignocellulosic biomass was used for acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation, several lignocellulose-derived inhibitors, which are toxic to Clostridium acetobutylicum, were generated during acid hydrolysis process and seriously hindered the industrialization of lignocellulosic butanol. In this study, an engineered strain 824(proABC) with significantly improved tolerance to multiple lignocellulose-derived inhibitors (formic acid and phenolic compounds) was constructed by strengthening the proline biosynthesis. The engineered strain exhibited more effective synthesis ability of proline and scavenging ability of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Consequently, the butanol produced by 824(proABC) was 1-, 2.4- or 3.4-fold higher than that of the wild type strain when using the undetoxified hydrolysate of soybean straw, rice straw or corn straw as the substrate, respectively. Therefore, enhancing the proline biosynthesis can be used as an effective strategy to improve the tolerance of C. acetobutylicum to multiple lignocellulose-derived inhibitors, and 824(proABC) has great potential to produce butanol from undetoxified lignocellulosic hydrolysates., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract

Background Epidemiological studies of associations between metabolites and cancer risk have typically focused on specific cancer types separately. Here, we designed a multivariate pan-cancer analysis to identify metabolites potentially associated with multiple cancer types, while also allowing the investigation of cancer type-specific associations. Methods We analysed targeted metabolomics data available for 5828 matched case-control pairs from cancer-specific case-control studies on breast, colorectal, endometrial, gallbladder, kidney, localized and advanced prostate cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. From pre-diagnostic blood levels of an initial set of 117 metabolites, 33 cluster representatives of strongly correlated metabolites and 17 single metabolites were derived by hierarchical clustering. The mutually adjusted associations of the resulting 50 metabolites with cancer risk were examined in penalized conditional logistic regression models adjusted for body mass index, using the data-shared lasso penalty. Results Out of the 50 studied metabolites, (i) six were inversely associated with the risk of most cancer types: glutamine, butyrylcarnitine, lysophosphatidylcholine a C18:2, and three clusters of phosphatidylcholines (PCs); (ii) three were positively associated with most cancer types: proline, decanoylcarnitine, and one cluster of PCs; and (iii) 10 were specifically associated with particular cancer types, including histidine that was inversely associated with colorectal cancer risk and one cluster of sphingomyelins that was inversely associated with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma and positively with endometrial cancer risk. Conclusions These results could provide novel insights for the identification of pathways for cancer development, in particular those shared across different cancer types.
