AbstractAbstract PDF

Extracellular vesicles derived from probiotics have received considerable attention for their pivotal role in bacterial‒host communication. These nanosized, bilayer-encapsulated vesicles carry diverse bioactive molecules, such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolites. Currently, ample evidence has emerged that probiotic extracellular vesicles may modulate several processes of host physiological hemostasis and offer therapeutic benefits. This review examines the biogenesis, composition, and immunomodulatory functions of probiotic-derived extracellular vesicles in probiotic–host interactions, highlighting the therapeutic potential of probiotic extracellular vesicles in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. We further summarize the techniques for the separation and purification of extracellular vesicles, providing a methodological foundation for future research and applications. Although the field of probiotic extracellular vesicle research is still in its infancy, the prospects for their application in the biomedical field are broad, potentially emerging as a novel therapeutic approach.

AbstractAbstract
Terminators and introns are vital regulators of gene expression in many eukaryotes; however, the functional importance of these elements for controlling gene expression in Agaricomycetes remains unclear. In this study, the effects of Ceriporiopsis subvermispora terminators and introns on the expression of a recombinant hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) were characterized. Using a transient transformation system, we proved that a highly active terminator (e.g., the gpd terminator) is required for the efficient expression of the hph gene. Mutational analyses of the C. subvermispora gpd terminator revealed that hph expression was dictated by an A-rich region, which included a putative positioning element, and polyadenylation sites. In contrast, our results indicated that introns are not required for the expression of hph directed by the Csβ1-tub and Csgpd promoters in C. subvermispora. This study provides insights into the functions and cis-element requirements of transcriptional terminators in Agaricomycetes, which may be relevant for designing recombinant genes for this important fungal class.
