Temperate mesophotic reef ecosystems (TMREs) are among the least known marine habitats. Information on their diversity and ecology is geographically and temporally scarce, especially in highly productive large upwelling ecosystems. Lack of information remains an obstacle to understanding the importance of TMREs as habitats, biodiversity reservoirs and their connections with better‐studied shallow reefs. Here, we use environmental DNA (eDNA) from water samples to characterize the community composition of TMREs on the central Chilean coast, generating the first baseline for monitoring the biodiversity of these habitats. We analyzed samples from two depths (30 and 60 m) over four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) and at two locations approximately 16 km apart. We used a panel of three metabarcodes, two that target all eukaryotes (18S rRNA and mitochondrial COI) and one specifically targeting fishes (16S rRNA). All panels combined encompassed eDNA assigned to 42 phyla, 90 classes, 237 orders, and 402 families. The highest family richness was found for the phyla Arthropoda, Bacillariophyta, and Chordata. Overall, family richness was similar between depths but decreased during summer, a pattern consistent at both locations. Our results indicate that the structure (composition) of the mesophotic communities varied predominantly with seasons. We analyzed further the better‐resolved fish assemblage and compared eDNA with other visual methods at the same locations and depths. We recovered eDNA from 19 genera of fish, six of these have also been observed on towed underwater videos, while 13 were unique to eDNA. We discuss the potential drivers of seasonal differences in community composition and richness. Our results suggest that eDNA can provide valuable insights for monitoring TMRE communities but highlight the necessity of completing reference DNA databases available for this region.

Os HPV são uma família de vírus de DNA com mais de 200 tipos e podem ser classificados em HPVs de baixo e alto risco. Os HPVs de alto risco mais relevantes são os HPV-16 e -18, que juntos são responsáveis por mais de 70% dos casos de carcinoma cervical. As modalidades atuais de tratamento para o câncer cervical são cirurgia, e a combinação de quimioterapia à base de cisplatina com radiação, porém apresentam efeitos adversos graves. Portanto, esforços contínuos são necessários para desenvolver novas drogas e estratégias terapêuticas eficazes para aumentar a eficácia da quimioterapia e diminuir esses efeitos colaterais. A emodina tem atraído grande atenção devido a seu efeito anti-inflamatório, antineoplásico e proapoptótico nos últimos anos. Além disso, a emodina pode ser utilizada como agente fotossensibilizador na terapia fotodinâmica. O interesse na terapia fotodinâmica no tratamento do câncer tem crescido exponencialmente, uma vez que é um tratamento minimamente invasivo, onde se erradica as células alvo, evitando-se a toxicidade sistêmica e os efeitos colaterais nos tecidos saudáveis. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o efeito da emodina associada à terapia fotodinâmica em linhagens de carcinoma cervical infectadas por HPV de alto risco (SiHa e CaSki) e queratinócitos humanos imortalizados (HaCaT). Inicialmente, as investigações demonstraram que a emodina apresentou citotoxicidade em concentração e tempo dependentes, mostrando mais de 80% de viabilidade celular para linhagens celulares SiHa, CaSki e HaCaT em concentrações abaixo de 30 µmol/L. As imagens de microscopia de fluorescência mostraram uma internalização celular eficiente de emodina em todas as linhas celulares analisadas. Uma diminuição significativa da viabilidade celular para as linhagens celulares SiHa, CaSki e HaCaT foi observado após tratamento com emodina associada à terapia fotodinâmica. Isto foi acompanhado por um aumento na produção de EROs, aumento nas atividades de caspase-3 e aumento na intensidade de fluorescência dos vacúolos autofágicos, sugerindo morte celular por apoptose e autofagia, provavelmente devido ao aumento na produção de EROs. Além disso, 22 genes alvo de drogas anticâncer foram superexpressos e 2 genes alvo de drogas anticâncer tiveram sua expressão diminuída em células SiHa após o tratamento com terapia fotodinâmica mediada por emodina. Estes resultados mostram que a emodina em combinação com a terapia fotodinâmica tem um grande potencial terapêutico para ser utilizada como um tratamento alternativo para o câncer cervical. Cervical cancer is a worldwide public health problem, especially due to its relation to the previous infection by human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV is a family of DNA viruses with more than 200 types, and can be classified in low and high risk HPVs. The most important high risk HPVs are the HPV-16 and -18, which together are responsible for more than 70% cervical carcinoma cases. Current treatment modalities for cervical cancer are surgery, and the combination of cisplatin based chemotherapy with radiation, however they present severe adverse effects. Therefore, ongoing efforts are necessary to developed new drugs and effective therapeutic strategies to enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy and decrease these side effects. Emodin has attracted extensive attention due to its anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, and proapoptotic effects in recent years. Furthermore, emodin may be used as a photosensitizing agent in photodynamic therapy. The interest in photodynamic therapy in the treatment of cancer has grown exponentially, since it is a minimally invasive treatment where eradicate target cells while avoiding systemic toxicity and side effects on healthy tissues. So, the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of emodin associated with photodynamic therapy in cervical carcinoma cell lines infected with high-risk HPV (SiHa and CaSki) and immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Initially, the investigations demonstrated that emodin presented cytotoxicity in concentration and time-dependent manner showing more than 80% of cell viability for SiHa, CaSki and HaCaT cell lines in concentrations below 30 µmol/L. The fluorescence microscopy images showed an efficient cellular uptake of emodin in all the cell lines analyzed. A significant decrease of the cell viability for SiHa, CaSki and HaCaT cell lines was observed after treatment with photodynamic therapy mediated by emodin. This was accompanied by an increase of ROS production, increase in caspase-3 activity and increase in the fluorescence intensity of autophagic vacuoles, suggesting cell death by apoptosis and autophagy probably due to the increase in production of ROS. Additionally, 22 target genes for anti-cancer drugs were overexpressed and 2 target genes for anti-cancer drugs were downregulated in SiHa cells after treatment with photodynamic therapy mediated by emodin. These results show that emodin in combination with photodynamic therapy has a great therapeutic potential to be used as an alternative treatment for cervical cancer. CAPES: 88882.434472/2019-01

Dissertação de mestrado, Biologia Marinha, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Universidade do Algarve, 2015 Atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased by at least 30% since pre-industrial times due to human activities. Part of this CO2 has been absorbed by oceans, inducing ocean acidification and, therefore, several impacts in the marine biota. Natural shallow-water CO2 vents have generated a substantial interest in recent years as in situ laboratories for ocean acidification studies. The present study was focused on the effects of ocean acidification on mesozooplankton communities. Two active volcanic areas with submarine CO2 emissions, in the islands of São Miguel and Faial, were chosen and independently studied, through the choice of three different sites: Reference, Intermediate and Vent, characterized for their increase in the CO2 degassing activity, and consequent pH decrease. Differences in the abundance, diversity and structure of mesozooplankton among sites were described, along with the characterization of the community in these areas, since previous information is scarce. Differences were found in the composition of the zooplanktonic assemblages among sites in São Miguel and among dates in Faial. Through the nMDS analyses, Radiozoa, Paracalanus parvus and Evadne spinifera appeared more related to vent conditions, while Cirripedia nauplii were closer to the reference conditions. Conditions in Faial did not allow a clear separation among sites in the nMDS analyses, since the strong currents mix the water, dissipating the effect of the gas emissions, and variation among days becomes more important and statistically significant. The RNA:DNA ratio of selected mesozooplankton populations was used, as proxies for physiological condition. RNA:DNA did not show a clear pattern of variation, copepods in São Miguel and cladocerans in Faial had an higher ratio in the reference sites, but with no gradual decrease to the Vent. Fish eggs seem to have an inverted pattern. Additional experiments conducted under natural conditions were performed to determine the egg production rate (EPR) of the dominant free-spawning copepod species, as a proxy for secondary production. In São Miguel, the EPR showed a decreasing trend along the CO2 gradient, with no differences between the exposure times. In Faial, EPR was higher in the reference, but it did not differ significantly from the other sites. This study demonstrated the suitability of the submarine degassing sites in S. Miguel and Faial Islands for investigating the effect of future dissolved CO2 levels in planktonic and pelagic communities of the NE Atlantic. It also provided the first in-situ evidence of a significant decrease of EPR of copepods under near future CO2 levels. Desde os tempos pre-industriais que se registou um incremento do CO2 atmosférico, de pelo menos 30% devido a atividades humanas, principalmente pelo uso de combustíveis fósseis. Os oceanos têm absorvido parte deste CO2 através da sua capacidade de “sumidouro de carbono”, induzindo mudanças na composição química da água do mar (acidificação do oceano), com potenciais impactos nos organismos marinhos. As possíveis consequências ecológicas deste processo têm motivado um incremento no esforço de investigação nos últimos anos. A maioria dos efeitos nos organismos marinhos tem sido observada em experiências no laboratório, onde o CO2 é manipulado em escalas temporais curtas. Não obstante, a necessidade de usar diferentes abordagens, como experiências de campo, em ambientes marinhos específicos que contenham comunidades, mais do que espécies isoladas, tornou-se evidente. Locais de desgaseificação natural de CO2 em águas pouco profundas têm gerado um interesse substancial como laboratórios in situ para estudos de acidificação do oceano. Alterações significativas na estrutura da comunidade bentónica têm sido associadas com estes locais de desgaseificação, mas os efeitos no plâncton permanecem largamente desconhecidos. O presente estudo analisou os efeitos da acidificação do oceano nas comunidades de mesozooplâncton. Os objetivos especificos foram (i): o estudo observacional sobre as comunidades zooplanctónicas, para determinar se existem diferenças consistentes na abundância, diversidade e composição entre os locais afetados por emissões de CO2 e os locais de controlo, sem emissões; e (ii) a relação entre os padrões observados no zooplâncton em relação aos resultados detetados na química da água do mar e do gás das emissões, (iii) a descrição do estado ecofisiológico de grandes grupos de zooplâncton utilizando índices derivados dos ácidos nucleicos e índices de produção de ovos e a sua relação com o possível stress causado pela acidificação. Para atingir estes objetivos foram seleccionadas duas áreas vulcânicas activas, com emanações de CO2 submarinas, uma na ilha de São Miguel e outra na ilha de Faial, no arquipélago dos Açores. Cada ilha foi independentemente estudada, através da escolha de três lugares diferentes: Reference, Intermediate e Vent, ao longo de um gradiente na emissão de CO2, e consequente diminuição de pH. O pH em São Miguel variou de 8.06 no Reference (pCO2 383.80 μatm) a 7.75 no Vent (pCO2 983.10 μatm), enquanto que no Faial diminuiu de 8.13 no Reference (pCO2 319.37 μatm) a 7.88 no Vent (pCO2 894.08 μatm). O CO2 foi o principal constituinte das emissões de gás nas duas ilhas (acima de 98%), minimizando o efeito de outros gases como H2S. Em São Miguel o mesozooplâncton foi amostrado usando arrastos oblíquos com uma rede WP2 de Ø60cm e malhagem de 200 μm, entre os dias 3 e 7 de Julho de 2014, enquanto que no Faial foi usada uma rede com malhagem de 500μm e a amostragem foi feita entre os dias 10 e 15 de Julho de 2014. Foram descritas as diferenças na abundância, diversidade e estrutura do mesozooplâncton entre locais, em paralelo com a caracterização das comunidades nestas áreas, já que a informação prévia era escassa. Foram identificados organismos de nove filos, num total de 71 taxa diferentes, 45 em S. Miguel e 61 no Faial. Em São Miguel foram encontradas diferenças entre locais na abundância total e nas abundâncias de Arthropoda e Chordata, com um incremento no Vent, relativamente ao Intermediate e o Reference. No Faial foram apenas encontradas diferenças na diversidade dos Arthropoda. A análise PERMANOVA ilustrou as diferenças na composição do zooplâncton entre locais, em São Miguel, e entre datas, no Faial. Os principais contribuintes para estas diferenças, realçados pelas anaáises SIMPER, foram Evadne spinifera, Paracalanus parvus, nauplios de Cirripedia e Radiozoa. Através das análises nMDS, Radiozoa, Paracalanus parvus e Evadne spinifera apareceram mais relacionados às condições do Vent, enquanto que nauplios de Cirripedia estiveram mais perto das condições do Reference. No Faial, os principais contribuintes foram Bassia bassensis, Radiozoa e efiras de Scyphozoa. As condições nesta ilha não permitiram uma separação entre locais nas análises nMDS, dado que as fortes correntes misturaram a coluna de àgua, dissipando o efeito das emissões de gases, e a variação entre dias é aparentemente mais importante e estatisticamente significativa. O racio RNA:DNA de populações de mesozooplâncton seleccionadas foi usado como indicador da condição fisiológica. O RNA:DNA não mostrou um padrão claro de variação: Copepoda em São Miguel e Cladocera no Faial apresentaram valores mais elevados no Reference, mas este não diminuiu de forma gradual ao longo do gradiente de CO2. Os ovos de peixe parecem ter um padrão invertido. Experiências adicionais foram levados a cabo para determinar a taxa de produção de ovos (EPR) das espécies dominantes de copépodes, como indicador da produção secundária. As câmaras de incubação foram colocadas perto do fundo durante períodos de 24 e 72h em São Miguel, e 72h no Faial. Em São Miguel, a EPR mostrou uma tendência de diminuição ao longo do gradiente de CO2, sem diferenças nos tempos de exposição. No Faial, EPR foi maior no Reference, mas não diferiu significativamente dos outros locais. Este estudo demonstrou o potencial das zonas de desgaseificação submarina nas ilhas de S. Miguel e Faial para a investigação dos efeitos dos níveis futuros de CO2 dissolvido nas comunidades planctónicas e pelágicas do Atlântico NE. Este trabalho também permitiu registar a primeira evidência in-situ de uma diminuição significativa da produção secundária em copépodes sob concentrações de CO2 previstas para o final do século.
