While multiple studies have investigated Ca isotopes in patients suffering from diseases affecting BMB, comparatively little effort has been devoted to understanding the homeostasis of Ca isotopes in healthy individuals. Here, we report on a longitudinal study of the urine Ca isotope composition (δ44/42CaUrine) from 22 healthy participants (age 19-60) over timescales ranging from days to months. Data from a single participant collected over a 30-day period show that morning urine is an excellent proxy for 24-h pooled urine fractions. Data from all participants reveal large inter-individual variability in δ44/42CaUrine (up to 2.2‰), which is partly due to anthropometric differences, as shown by a correlation between the participants' body mass index (BMI) and δ44/42CaUrine values. In contrast, intra-individual data reveal encouraging stability (within ∼±0.2-0.3‰) over timescales >160 days, indicating that self-referencing approaches for BMB monitoring hold greater promise than cross-sectional ones. Our data confirm that intra-individual δ44/42CaUrine variations are mainly a function of Ca reabsorption in the kidney, but also reveal the impact of other (and at times equally important) drivers, such as diet, alcohol consumption, physical exercise, or fasting. We also find that a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent (gadolinium) can lead to artifacts during Ca isotope analysis. Based on our results, a series of practical considerations for the use of Ca isotopes in urine as tracers of BMB are presented.</p>","PeriodicalId":89,"journal":{"name":"Metallomics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Replacement of peptone by natural nitrogen sources regularly used as fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, sodium nitrate, and urea also triggered siderophore production in S. scabiei. The observed effect is not mediated by alkalinization of the medium as increasing the pH without providing additional nitrogen sources did not induce siderophore production.

Nicotiana tabacum has been widely used as a model plant for gene function analysis; however, the tobacco ZIP genes have not been identified systematically. In this study, we have identified a comprehensive set of 32 NtZIP genes, which were phylogenetically categorized into three distinct clades. The gene structures, characterized by their exon/intron organization, and the protein motifs are relatively conserved, particularly among genes within the same clade. These NtZIP genes exhibit an uneven distribution across 12 chromosomes. The gene localization analysis revealed the presence of 11 pairs of homeologous locus genes and 7 pairs of tandem duplication genes within the genome. To further explore the functionality of these genes, real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR was employed to assess their expression levels in roots subjected to metal deficiency. The results indicated that certain NtZIP genes are specifically upregulated in response to either Fe or Zn deficiency. Additionally, the presence of specific cis-elements within their promoter regions, such as the E-box associated with Fe deficiency response and the ZDRE box linked to Zn deficiency response, was identified.
