Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Using the UK Biobank, this study assessed the value of nuclear magnetic resonance measured metabolites as predictors of progression to diabetes. The authors identified a panel of 9 circulating metabolites that improved the ability in risk prediction of progression from prediabetes to diabetes. In general, this is a well-performed study, and the findings may provide a new approach to identifying those at high risk of developing diabetes.

I have some comments that may improve the importance of this study.

(1) It is unclear why the authors only considered the top 20 variables in the metabolite selection and why they did not set a wider threshold.

(2) The methods section would benefit from a more detailed exposition of how parameter tuning was conducted and the range of parameters explored during the training of the RSF model.

(3) It is hard to understand the meaning of the decision curve analysis and the clinical implications behind the net benefit, which are required to clarify the application values of models.

(4) Notably, the NMR platform utilized within the UK Biobank primarily focused on lipid species. This limitation should be discussed in the manuscript to provide context for interpreting the results and acknowledge the potential bias from the measuring platform.

(5) The manuscript should explain the potential influence of non-fasting status on the findings, particularly concerning lipoprotein particles and composition. There should be a detailed discussion of how non-fasting status may impact the measurement and the findings.

(6) Cross-platform standardization is an issue in metabolism, and further descriptions of quality control are recommended.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Deciphering the metabolic alterations characterizing the prediabetes-diabetes spectrum could provide early time windows for targeted preventive measures to extend precision medicine while avoiding disproportionate healthcare costs. The authors identified a panel of 9 circulating metabolites combined with basic clinical variables that significantly improved the prediction from prediabetes to diabetes. These findings provided insights into the integration of these metabolites into clinical and public health practice. However, the interpretation of these findings should take account of the following limitations.

First, the causal relationship between identified metabolites and diabetes or prediabetes deserves to be further examined particularly when the prediabetic status was partially defined. Some metabolites might be the results of prediabetes rather than the casual factors for progression to diabetes.

Second, the blood samples were taken at random (not all in a non-fasting state) and so the findings were subjected to greater variability. This should be discussed in the limitations.

Third, the strength of NMR in metabolic profiling compared to other techniques (i.e., mass spectrometry [MS], another commonly used metabolic profiling method) could be added in the Discussion section.

Fourth, the applied platform focuses mostly on lipid species which may be a limitation as well.

Fifth, it is a very large group with pre-diabetes, but the results only apply to prediabetes and not to the general population. This should be clear, although the authors have also validated the predictive value of these metabolites in the general population.

eLife assessment

This study provides important findings regarding the stability over time of the response properties of neurons in the auditory cortex, including their nonlinear sensitivity to sound context. The data obtained from chronic recordings combined with nonlinear stimulus-response estimation provide convincing evidence that auditory cortical representations are stable over a period of days to weeks. While this study should be of widespread interest to sensory neuroscientists, the paper would be strengthened by a more thorough assessment and discussion of the effects of context and of the stability of the responses, as well as by the inclusion of more information about the location and types of neurons that were sampled.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

Recent studies have used optical or electrophysiological techniques to chronically measure receptive field properties of sensory cortical neurons over long time periods, i.e. days to weeks, to ask whether sensory receptive fields are stable properties. Akritas et al expand on prior studies by investigating whether nonlinear contextual sensitivity, a property not previously investigated in the context of so-called 'representational drift,' remains stable over days or weeks of recording. They performed chronic tetrode recordings of auditory cortical neurons over at least five recording days while also performing daily measurements of both the linear spectro-temporal receptive field (principal receptive field, PRF) and non-linear 'contextual gain field' (CGF), which captures the neuron's sensitivity to acoustic context. They found that spike waveforms could be reliably matched even when recorded weeks apart. In well-matched units, by comparing the correlation between tuning within one day's session to sessions across days, both PRFs and CGFs showed remarkable stability over time. This was the case even when recordings were performed over weeks. Meanwhile, behavioral and brain state, measured with locomotion and pupil diameter, respectively, resulted in small but significant shifts in the ability of the PRF/CGF model to predict fluctuations in the neuronal response over time.

Strengths:

The study addresses a fundamental question, which is whether the neural underpinnings of sensory perception, which encompasses both sensory events and their context, are stable across relevant timescales over which our experiences must be stable, despite biological turnover. Although two-photon calcium imaging is ideal for identifying neurons stably regardless of their activity levels and tuning, it lacks temporal precision and is therefore limited in its ability to capture the complexity of sensory responses. Akritas et al performed painstaking chronic extracellular recordings in the auditory cortex with the temporal resolution to investigate complex receptive field properties, such as neural sensitivities to acoustic context. Prior studies, particularly in the auditory cortex, focused on basic tuning properties or sensory responsivity, but Akritas et al expand on this work by showing that even the nonlinear, contextual elements of sensory neurons' responses can remain stable, providing a mechanism for the stability of our complex perception. This work is both novel and broadly applicable to those investigating cortical stability across sensory modalities.

Weaknesses:

Apart from some aspects such as single-unit versus multi-unit, the study largely treats their dataset as a monolith rather than showing how factors such as firing rate, depth, and cell type could define more or less stable subpopulations. It is likely that their methodology did not enable an even sampling over these qualities, and the authors should discuss these biases to put their findings more in context with related studies.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

This study explores the fundamental neuroscience question of the stability of neuronal representation. The concept of 'representational-drift' has been put forward after observations made using 2-photon imaging of neuronal activity over many days revealed that neurons contribute in a time-limited manner to population representation of stimuli or experiences. The authors contribute to the still contested concept of 'drifts' by measuring representation across days using electrophysiology and thus with sufficient temporal resolution to characterize the receptive fields of neurons in timescales relevant to the stimuli used. The data obtained from chronic recordings over days combined with nonlinear stimulus-response estimation allows the authors to conclude that both the spectrotemporal receptive fields as well as contextual gain fields dependent on combination sensitivity to complex stimuli were stable over time. This suggests that when a neuron is responsive to experimental parameters across long periods of time (days), its sensory receptive field is stable.

Strengths:

The strength of this study lies in the capacity to draw novel conclusions on auditory cortex representation based on the experimentally difficult combination of stable recordings of neuronal activity, behavior, and pupil over days and state-of-the-art analysis of receptive fields.

Weaknesses:

It would have been desirable, but too ambitious in the current setting, to be able to assess what proportion if any of the neurons drop out or in to draw a closer parallel with the 2-photon studies.

Reviewer #3 (Public Review):

Summary:

In their study on "Nonlinear sensitivity to acoustic context is a stable feature of neuronal responses to complex sounds in auditory cortex of awake mice", Akritas et al. investigate the stability of the response properties of neurons in the auditory cortex of mice. They estimate a model with restricted non-linearities for individual neurons and compare the model properties between recordings on the same day and subsequent days. They find that both the linear and nonlinear components of the model stay rather constant over this period and conclude that on the level of the tuning properties, there is no evidence for representational drift on this time scale.

Strengths:

- The study has a clear analytical approach that goes beyond linear models and investigates this in a rigorous way, in particular comparing across-day variability to within-day variability.<br /> - The use of tetrodes is a rather reliable way in electrophysiological recordings to assess neuron identity over multiple days.<br /> - The comparison with pupil and motion activity was useful and insightful.<br /> - The presentation of the study is very logical and pretty much flawless on the writing level.

Weaknesses:

- The stability results across cells show a good amount of variability, which is only partially addressed.<br /> - In particular, no attempt is made to localize the cells in space, in order to check whether these differences could be layer or area-dependent.<br /> - The full context model also includes the possibility to estimate the input non-linearity, which was not done here, but could have been insightful.

We did, in fact, investigate whether firing rate and other physiological response properties of units might differentiate subpopulations with different stability. This analysis is shown in Figure 7B-D. There was no apparent relationship between stability of nonlinear contextual gain fields and physiological properties such as mean evoked firing rate, signal-to-noise ratio for evoked firing, or predictive power of the context model (a measure of model goodness-of-fit).

The reviewer is correct, however, that we did not address possible differences between units recorded at different cortical depths or of different cell types, due to limitations of our methodology and sampling.

We certainly agree that this comparison would have been desirable in principle. In practice, however, it was technically infeasible and would have been likely to produce misleading results. Our criteria for spike waveform matching across days were extremely conservative, to minimise the potential for a false positive match (which could artifactually decrease apparent stability of unit responses). Therefore, we were likely to have missed some neurons that did in fact remain active over days, due to small changes in extracellular waveform or just noise (which could artifactually decrease apparent stability of population representations). Two-photon imaging is more appropriate for analysing population stability, because cell identity is determined by spatial location. However, as we mention in the paper, electrophysiology is more appropriate for analysing receptive-field stability, because the temporal resolution is sufficient to resolve structure at the millisecond timescales relevant to auditory perception.

We agree with these comments and acknowledge these limitations, which arise from technological constraints. In particular, the tangential trajectory of our chronic tetrode implant, used to maximise stability of chronic recordings, limited our ability to sample cells from different cortical layers/areas and to explore how these factors might relate to variability in stability across units. Estimating input nonlinearities would have been valuable but also would have increased the number of parameters in the model and the data required to obtain reliable, predictive model fits.

eLife assessment

This study shows that a peptide called galanin can decrease or increase seizure activity in experimental models of seizures depending on the way seizures are induced (genetic vs. pharmacological). The authors use zebrafish and several methods to address the effects of galanin. The study will be useful to researchers who use zebrafish as experimental animals and who are interested in how the peptides in the brain (neuropeptides) regulate seizures. However, the strength of evidence was considered incomplete at the present time due to several limitations of the results.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

In this study, the authors explored how galanin affects whole-brain activity in larval zebrafish using wide-field Ca2+ imaging, genetic modifications, and drugs that increase brain activity. The authors conclude that galanin has a sedative effect on the brain under normal conditions and during seizures, mainly through the galanin receptor 1a (galr1a). However, acute "stressors(?)" like pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) reduce galanin's effects, leading to increased brain activity and more seizures. The authors claim that galanin can reduce seizure severity while increasing seizure occurrence, speculated to occur through different receptor subtypes. This study confirms galanin's complex role in brain activity, supporting its potential impact on epilepsy.

Strengths:

The overall strength of the study lies primarily in its methodological approach using whole-brain Calcium imaging facilitated by the transparency of zebrafish larvae. Additionally, the use of transgenic zebrafish models is an advantage, as it enables genetic manipulations to investigate specific aspects of galanin signaling. This combination of advanced imaging and genetic tools allows for addressing galanin's role in regulating brain activity.

Weaknesses:

The weaknesses of the study also stem from the methodological approach, particularly the use of whole-brain Calcium imaging as a measure of brain activity. While epilepsy and seizures involve network interactions, they typically do not originate across the entire brain simultaneously. Seizures often begin in specific regions or even within specific populations of neurons within those regions. Therefore, a whole-brain approach, especially with Calcium imaging with inherited limitations, may not fully capture the localized nature of seizure initiation and propagation, potentially limiting the understanding of Galanin's role in epilepsy.

Furthermore, Galanin's effects may vary across different brain areas, likely influenced by the predominant receptor types expressed in those regions. Additionally, the use of PTZ as a "stressor" is questionable since PTZ induces seizures rather than conventional stress. Referring to seizures induced by PTZ as "stress" might be a misinterpretation intended to fit the proposed model of stress regulation by receptors other than Galanin receptor 1 (GalR1).

The description of the EAAT2 mutants is missing crucial details. EAAT2 plays a significant role in the uptake of glutamate from the synaptic cleft, thereby regulating excitatory neurotransmission and preventing excitotoxicity. Authors suggest that in EAAT2 knockout (KO) mice galanin expression is upregulated 15-fold compared to wild-type (WT) mice, which could be interpreted as galanin playing a role in the hypoactivity observed in these animals.

However, the study does not explore the misregulation of other genes that could be contributing to the observed phenotype. For instance, if AMPA receptors are significantly downregulated, or if there are alterations in other genes critical for brain activity, these changes could be more important than the upregulation of galanin. The lack of wider gene expression analysis leaves open the possibility that the observed hypoactivity could be due to factors other than, or in addition to, galanin upregulation.

Moreover, the observation that in double KO mice for both EAAT2 and galanin, there was little difference in seizure susceptibility compared to EAAT2 KO mice alone further supports the idea that galanin upregulation might not be the reason for the observed phenotype. This indicates that other regulatory mechanisms or gene expressions might be playing a more pivotal role in the manifestation of hypoactivity in EAAT2 mutants.

These methodological shortcomings and conceptual inconsistencies undermine the perceived strengths of the study, and hinders understanding of Galanin's role in epilepsy and stress regulation.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

This study is an investigation of galanin and galanin receptor signaling on whole-brain activity in the context of recurrent seizure activity or under homeostatic basal conditions. The authors primarily use calcium imaging to observe whole-brain neuronal activity accompanied by galanin qPCR to determine how manipulations of galanin or the galr1a receptor affect the activity of the whole-brain under non-ictal or seizure event conditions. The authors' Eaat2a-/- model (introduced in their Glia 2022 paper, PMID 34716961) that shows recurrent seizure activity alongside suppression of neuronal activity and locomotion in the time periods lacking seizures is used in this paper in comparison to the well-known pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) pharmacological model of epilepsy in zebrafish. Given the literature cited in their Introduction, the authors reasonably hypothesize that galanin will exert a net inhibitory effect on brain activity in models of epilepsy and at homeostatic baseline, but were surprised to find that this hypothesis was only moderately supported in their Eaat2a-/- model. In contrast, under PTZ challenge, fish with galanin overexpression showed increased seizure number and reduced duration while fish with galanin KO showed reduced seizure number and increased duration. These results would have been greatly enriched by the inclusion of behavioral analyses of seizure activity and locomotion (similar to the authors' 2022 Glia paper and/or PMIDs 15730879, 24002024). In addition, the authors have not accounted for sex as a biological variable, though they did note that sex sorting zebrafish larvae precludes sex selection at the younger ages used. It would be helpful to include smaller experiments taken from pilot experiments in older, sex-balanced groups of the relevant zebrafish to increase confidence in the findings' robustness across sexes. A possible major caveat is that all of the various genetic manipulations are non-conditional as performed, meaning that developmental impacts of galanin overexpression or galanin or galr1a knockout on the observed results have not been controlled for and may have had a confounding influence on the authors' findings. Overall, this study is important and solid (yet limited), and carries clear value for understanding the multifaceted functions that neuronal galanin can have under homeostatic and disease conditions.

Strengths:

- The authors convincingly show that galanin is upregulated across multiple contexts that feature seizure activity or hyperexcitability in zebrafish, and appears to reduce neuronal activity overall, with key identified exceptions (PTZ model).

- The authors use both genetic and pharmacological models to answer their question, and through this diverse approach, find serendipitous results that suggest novel underexplored functions of galanin and its receptors in basal and disease conditions. Their question is well-informed by the cited literature, though the authors should cite and consider their findings in the context of Mazarati et al., 1998 (PMID:982276). The authors' Discussion places their findings in context, allowing for multiple interpretations and suggesting some convincing explanations.

- Sample sizes are robust and the methods used are well-characterized, with a few exceptions (as the paper is currently written).

- Use of a glutamatergic signaling-based genetic model of epilepsy (Eaat2a-/-) is likely the most appropriate selection to test how galanin signaling can alter seizure activity, as galanin is known to reduce glutamatergic release as an inhibitory mechanism in rodent hippocampal neurons via GalR1a (alongside GIRK activation effects). Given that PTZ instead acts through GABAergic signaling pathways, it is reasonable and useful to note that their glutamate-based genetic model showed different effects than did their GABAergic-based model of seizure activity.

Weaknesses:

- The authors do not include behavioral assessments of seizure or locomotor activity that would be expected in this paper given their characterizations of their Eaat2a-/- model in the Glia 2022 paper that showed these behavioral data for this zebrafish model. These data would inform the reader of the behavioral phenotypes to expect under the various conditions and would likely further support the authors' findings if obtained and reported.

- No assessment of sex as a biological variable is included, though it is understood that these specific studied ages of the larvae may preclude sex sorting for experimental balancing as stated by the authors.

- The reported results may have been influenced by the loss or overexpression of galanin or loss of galr1a during developmental stages. The authors did attempt to use the hsp70l system to overexpress galanin, but noted that the heat shock induction step led to reduced brain activity on its own (Supplementary Figure 1). Their hsp70l:gal model shows galanin overexpression anyways (8x fold) regardless of heat induction, so this model is still useful as a way to overexpress galanin, but it should be noted that this galanin overexpression is not restricted to post-developmental timepoints and is present during development.

Reviewer #3 (Public Review):

Summary:

The neuropeptide galanin is primarily expressed in the hypothalamus and has been shown to play critical roles in homeostatic functions such as arousal, sleep, stress, and brain disorders such as epilepsy. Previous work in rodents using galanin analogs and receptor-specific knockout has provided convincing evidence for the anti-convulsant effects of galanin.

In the present study, the authors sought to determine the relationship between galanin expression and whole-brain activity. The authors took advantage of the transparent nature of larval zebrafish to perform whole-brain neural activity measurements via widefield calcium imaging. Two models of seizures were used (eaat2a-/- and pentylenetetrazol; PTZ). In the eaat2a-/- model, spontaneous seizures occur and the authors found that galanin transcript levels were significantly increased and associated with a reduced frequency of calcium events. Similarly, two hours after PTZ galanin transcript levels roughly doubled and the frequency and amplitude of calcium events were reduced. The authors also used a heat shock protein line (hsp70I:gal) where galanin transcript levels are induced by activation of heat shock protein, but this line also shows higher basal transcript levels of galanin. Again, the higher level of galanin in hsp70I:gal larval zebrafish resulted in a reduction of calcium events and a reduction in the amplitude of events. In contrast, galanin knockout (gal-/-) increased calcium activity, indicated by an increased number of calcium events, but a reduction in amplitude and duration. Knockout of the galanin receptor subtype galr1a via crispants also increased the frequency of calcium events.

In subsequent experiments in eaat2a-/- mutants were crossed with hsp70I:gal or gal-/- to increase or decrease galanin expression, respectively. These experiments showed modest effects, with eaat2a-/- x gal-/- knockouts showing an increased normalized area under the curve and seizure amplitude.

Lastly, the authors attempted to study the relationship between galanin and brain activity during a PTZ challenge. The hsp70I:gal larva showed an increased number of seizures and reduced seizure duration during PTZ. In contrast, gal-/- mutants showed an increased normalized area under the curve and a stark reduction in the number of detected seizures, a reduction in seizure amplitude, but an increase in seizure duration. The authors then ruled out the role of Galr1a in modulating this effect during PTZ, since the number of seizures was unaffected, whereas the amplitude and duration of seizures were increased.

Strengths:

(1) The gain- and loss-of function galanin manipulations provided convincing evidence that galanin influences brain activity (via calcium imaging) during interictal and/or seizure-free periods. In particular, the relationship between galanin transcript levels and brain activity in Figures 1 & 2 was convincing.

(2) The authors use two models of epilepsy (eaat2a-/- and PTZ).

(3) Focus on the galanin receptor subtype galr1a provided good evidence for the important role of this receptor in controlling brain activity during interictal and/or seizure-free periods.

Weaknesses:

(1) Although the relationship between galanin and brain activity during interictal or seizure-free periods was clear, the manuscript currently lacks mechanistic insight in the role of galanin during seizure-like activity induced by PTZ.

(2) Calcium imaging is the primary data for the paper, but there are no representative time-series images or movies of GCaMP signal in the various mutants used.

(3) For Figure 3, the authors suggest that hsp70I:gal x eaat2a-/-mutants would further increase galanin transcript levels, which were hypothesized to further reduce brain activity. However, the authors failed to measure galanin transcript levels in this cross to show that galanin is actually increased more than the eaat2a-/- mutant or the hsp70I:gal mutant alone.

(4) Similarly, transcript levels of galanin are not provided in Figure 2 for Gal-/- mutants and galr1a KOs. Transcript levels would help validate the knockout and any potential compensatory effects of subtype-specific knockout.

(5) The authors very heavily rely on calcium imaging of different mutant lines. Additional methods could strengthen the data, translational relevance, and interpretation (e.g., acute pharmacology using galanin agonists or antagonists, brain or cell recordings, biochemistry, etc).

Indeed, our observation of the unexpected hypoactivity in EAAT2a mutants, described in our description of this mutant (Hotz et al., 2022), prompted us to initiate this study formulating the hypothesis that the observed upregulation of galanin is a neuroprotective response to epilepsy.

However, the study does not explore the misregulation of other genes that could be contributing to the observed phenotype. For instance, if AMPA receptors are significantly downregulated, or if there are alterations in other genes critical for brain activity, these changes could be more important than the upregulation of galanin. The lack of wider gene expression analysis leaves open the possibility that the observed hypoactivity could be due to factors other than, or in addition to, galanin upregulation.

We have performed a transcriptome analysis that we are still evaluation. We can already state that AMPA receptor genes are not significantly altered in the mutant.

Moreover, the observation that in double KO mice for both EAAT2 and galanin, there was little difference in seizure susceptibility compared to EAAT2 KO mice alone further supports the idea that galanin upregulation might not be the reason for the observed phenotype. This indicates that other regulatory mechanisms or gene expressions might be playing a more pivotal role in the manifestation of hypoactivity in EAAT2 mutants.

We agree that upregulation of galanin transcripts is at best one of a suite of regulatory mechanisms that lead to hypoactivity in EAAT2 zebrafish mutants.

These methodological shortcomings and conceptual inconsistencies undermine the perceived strengths of the study, and hinders understanding of Galanin's role in epilepsy and stress regulation.

- The authors use both genetic and pharmacological models to answer their question, and through this diverse approach, find serendipitous results that suggest novel underexplored functions of galanin and its receptors in basal and disease conditions. Their question is well-informed by the cited literature, though the authors should cite and consider their findings in the context of Mazarati et al., 1998 (PMID:982276). The authors' Discussion places their findings in context, allowing for multiple interpretations and suggesting some convincing explanations.

- Sample sizes are robust and the methods used are well-characterized, with a few exceptions (as the paper is currently written).

- Use of a glutamatergic signaling-based genetic model of epilepsy (Eaat2a-/-) is likely the most appropriate selection to test how galanin signaling can alter seizure activity, as galanin is known to reduce glutamatergic release as an inhibitory mechanism in rodent hippocampal neurons via GalR1a (alongside GIRK activation effects). Given that PTZ instead acts through GABAergic signaling pathways, it is reasonable and useful to note that their glutamate-based genetic model showed different effects than did their GABAergic-based model of seizure activity.

Weaknesses:

- The authors do not include behavioral assessments of seizure or locomotor activity that would be expected in this paper given their characterizations of their Eaat2a-/- model in the Glia 2022 paper that showed these behavioral data for this zebrafish model. These data would inform the reader of the behavioral phenotypes to expect under the various conditions and would likely further support the authors' findings if obtained and reported.

We agree that a thorough behavioral assessment would have strengthened the study, but we deemed it outside of the scope of this study.

- No assessment of sex as a biological variable is included, though it is understood that these specific studied ages of the larvae may preclude sex sorting for experimental balancing as stated by the authors.

The study was done on larval zebrafish (5 days post fertilization). The first signs of sexual differentiation become apparent at about 17 days post fertilization (reviewed in Ye and Chen, 2020). Hence sex is no biological variable at the stage studied. 

- The reported results may have been influenced by the loss or overexpression of galanin or loss of galr1a during developmental stages. The authors did attempt to use the hsp70l system to overexpress galanin, but noted that the heat shock induction step led to reduced brain activity on its own (Supplementary Figure 1). Their hsp70l:gal model shows galanin overexpression anyways (8x fold) regardless of heat induction, so this model is still useful as a way to overexpress galanin, but it should be noted that this galanin overexpression is not restricted to post-developmental timepoints and is present during development.

The developmental perspective is an important point to consider. Due to the rapid development of the zebrafish it is not trivial to untangle this. In the zebrafish we first observe epileptic seizures as early as 3 days post fertilization (dpf), where the brain is clearly not well developed yet (e.g. behavioral response to light are still minimal). Even the 5 dpf stage, where most of our experiments have been conducted, cannot by far not be considered post-development.  

Reviewer #3 (Public Review):

Summary:

The neuropeptide galanin is primarily expressed in the hypothalamus and has been shown to play critical roles in homeostatic functions such as arousal, sleep, stress, and brain disorders such as epilepsy. Previous work in rodents using galanin analogs and receptor-specific knockout has provided convincing evidence for the anti-convulsant effects of galanin.

In the present study, the authors sought to determine the relationship between galanin expression and whole-brain activity. The authors took advantage of the transparent nature of larval zebrafish to perform whole-brain neural activity measurements via widefield calcium imaging. Two models of seizures were used (eaat2a-/- and pentylenetetrazol; PTZ). In the eaat2a-/- model, spontaneous seizures occur and the authors found that galanin transcript levels were significantly increased and associated with a reduced frequency of calcium events. Similarly, two hours after PTZ galanin transcript levels roughly doubled and the frequency and amplitude of calcium events were reduced. The authors also used a heat shock protein line (hsp70I:gal) where galanin transcript levels are induced by activation of heat shock protein, but this line also shows higher basal transcript levels of galanin. Again, the higher level of galanin in hsp70I:gal larval zebrafish resulted in a reduction of calcium events and a reduction in the amplitude of events. In contrast, galanin knockout (gal-/-) increased calcium activity, indicated by an increased number of calcium events, but a reduction in amplitude and duration. Knockout of the galanin receptor subtype galr1a via crispants also increased the frequency of calcium events.

In subsequent experiments in eaat2a-/- mutants were crossed with hsp70I:gal or gal-/- to increase or decrease galanin expression, respectively. These experiments showed modest effects, with eaat2a-/- x gal-/- knockouts showing an increased normalized area under the curve and seizure amplitude.

Lastly, the authors attempted to study the relationship between galanin and brain activity during a PTZ challenge. The hsp70I:gal larva showed an increased number of seizures and reduced seizure duration during PTZ. In contrast, gal-/- mutants showed an increased normalized area under the curve and a stark reduction in the number of detected seizures, a reduction in seizure amplitude, but an increase in seizure duration. The authors then ruled out the role of Galr1a in modulating this effect during PTZ, since the number of seizures was unaffected, whereas the amplitude and duration of seizures were increased.

Strengths:

(1) The gain- and loss-of function galanin manipulations provided convincing evidence that galanin influences brain activity (via calcium imaging) during interictal and/or seizure-free periods. In particular, the relationship between galanin transcript levels and brain activity in Figures 1 & 2 was convincing.

(2) The authors use two models of epilepsy (eaat2a-/- and PTZ).

(3) Focus on the galanin receptor subtype galr1a provided good evidence for the important role of this receptor in controlling brain activity during interictal and/or seizure-free periods.

Weaknesses:

(1) Although the relationship between galanin and brain activity during interictal or seizure-free periods was clear, the manuscript currently lacks mechanistic insight in the role of galanin during seizure-like activity induced by PTZ.

We completely agree and concede that this study constitutes only a first attempt to understand the (at least for us) perplexing complexity of galanin function on the brain.

(2) Calcium imaging is the primary data for the paper, but there are no representative time-series images or movies of GCaMP signal in the various mutants used.

We are in the process of preparing some time series images and will include them in the next revision.

(3) For Figure 3, the authors suggest that hsp70I:gal x eaat2a-/-mutants would further increase galanin transcript levels, which were hypothesized to further reduce brain activity. However, the authors failed to measure galanin transcript levels in this cross to show that galanin is actually increased more than the eaat2a-/- mutant or the hsp70I:gal mutant alone.

This is an excellent suggestion. We will perform the necessary qPCR experiments and will include the data in the next revision.

(4) Similarly, transcript levels of galanin are not provided in Figure 2 for Gal-/- mutants and galr1a KOs. Transcript levels would help validate the knockout and any potential compensatory effects of subtype-specific knockout.

(5) The authors very heavily rely on calcium imaging of different mutant lines. Additional methods could strengthen the data, translational relevance, and interpretation (e.g., acute pharmacology using galanin agonists or antagonists, brain or cell recordings, biochemistry, etc).

Again, we agree and concede that a number of additional approaches are needed to get more insight into the complex role of galanin in regulation overall brain activity. These include, among others, also behavioral, multiple single cell recordings and pharmacological interventions.

The work introduces a valuable new method for depleting the ribosomal RNA from bacterial single-cell RNA sequencing libraries and shows that this method is applicable to studying the heterogeneity in microbial biofilms. The evidence for a small subpopulation of cells at the bottom of the biofilm which upregulates PdeI expression is solid. However, more investigation into the unresolved functional relationship between PdeI and c-di-GMP levels with the help of other genes co-expressed in the same cluster would have made the conclusions more significant.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

In this manuscript, Yan and colleagues introduce a modification to the previously published PETRI-seq bacterial single-cell protocol to include a ribosomal depletion step based on a DNA probe set that selectively hybridizes with ribosome-derived (rRNA) cDNA fragments. They show that their modification of the PETRI-seq protocol increases the fraction of informative non-rRNA reads from ~4-10% to 54-92%. The authors apply their protocol to investigating heterogeneity in a biofilm model of E. coli, and convincingly show how their technology can detect minority subpopulations within a complex community.

Strengths:

The method the authors propose is a straightforward and inexpensive modification of an established split-pool single-cell RNA-seq protocol that greatly increases its utility, and should be of interest to a wide community working in the field of bacterial single-cell RNA-seq.

Weaknesses:

The manuscript is written in a very compressed style and many technical details of the evaluations conducted are unclear and processed data has not been made available for evaluation, limiting the ability of the reader to independently judge the merits of the method.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

This work introduces a new method of depleting the ribosomal reads from the single-cell RNA sequencing library prepared with one of the prokaryotic scRNA-seq techniques, PETRI-seq. The advance is very useful since it allows broader access to the technology by lowering the cost of sequencing. It also allows more transcript recovery with fewer sequencing reads. The authors demonstrate the utility and performance of the method for three different model species and find a subpopulation of cells in the E.coli biofilm that express a protein, PdeI, which causes elevated c-di-GMP levels. These cells were shown to be in a state that promotes persister formation in response to ampicillin treatment.

Strengths:

The introduced rRNA depletion method is highly efficient, with the depletion for E.coli resulting in over 90% of reads containing mRNA. The method is ready to use with existing PETRI-seq libraries which is a large advantage, given that no other rRNA depletion methods were published for split-pool bacterial scRNA-seq methods. Therefore, the value of the method for the field is high. There is also evidence that a small number of cells at the bottom of a static biofilm express PdeI which is causing the elevated c-di-GMP levels that are associated with persister formation. Given that PdeI is a phosphodiesterase, which is supposed to promote hydrolysis of c-di-GMP, this finding is unexpected.

Weaknesses:

With the descriptions and writing of the manuscript, it is hard to place the findings about the PdeI into existing context (i.e. it is well known that c-di-GMP is involved in biofilm development and is heterogeneously distributed in several species' biofilms; it is also known that E.coli diesterases regulate this second messenger, i.e. https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/jb.00604-15).<br /> There is also no explanation for the apparently contradictory upregulation of c-di-GMP in cells expressing higher PdeI levels. Perhaps the examination of the rest of the genes in cluster 2 of the biofilm sample could be useful to explain the observed association.

This descriptive study reports the genetic requirements for growth and fitness of multiple clinical strains of a relatively understudied species of mycobacteria, Mycobacterium intracellulare. The findings are valuable however, the study is incomplete as the primary claims related to hypoxia adaptation need additional experimental support and data presentation requires more clarity. The work will be of interest to microbiologists.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

Tateishi et al. report a Tn-seq-based analysis of genetic requirements for growth and fitness in 8 clinical strains of Mycobacterium intracellulare Mi), and compare the findings with a type strain ATCC13950. The study finds a core set of 131 genes that are essential in all nine strains, and therefore are reasonably argued as potential drug targets. Multiple other genes required for fitness in clinical isolates have been found to be important for hypoxic growth in the type strain.

Strengths:

The study has generated a large volume of Tn-seq datasets of multiple clinical strains of Mi from multiple growth conditions, including from mouse lungs. The dataset can serve as an important resource for future studies on Mi, which despite being clinically significant remains a relatively understudied species of mycobacteria.

Weaknesses:

The paper lacks clarity in data presentation and organization. For example, some of the key data on cfu counts of clinical Mi strains in a mouse model can be presented along with the Tn-seq dataset in Figure 6, the visualization of which can be improved with volcano plots. etc. Improvement in data visualization is perhaps necessary throughout the paper.

The primary claim of the study that the clinical strains are better adapted for hypoxic growth is not well-supported by the data presented in Figure 7.

The title of the paper is misleading as the study doesn't provide any mechanistic aspect of hypoxic adaptation in Mi.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

In the study titled "Functional genomics reveals the mechanism of hypoxic adaptation in nontuberculous mycobacteria" by Tateishi et al., the authors have used TnSeq to identify the common essential and growth-defect-associated genes that represent the genomic diversity of clinical M. intracellulare strains in comparison to the reference type strain. By estimating the frequency of Tn insertion, the authors speculate that genes involved in gluconeogenesis, the type VII secretion system, and cysteine desulfurase are relatively critical in the clinical MAC-PD strains than in the type strain, both for the extracellular survival and in a mouse lung infection model.

Based on their analysis, the authors proposed to identify the mechanism of hypoxic adaptation in nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) which offer promising drug targets in the strains causing clinical Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD).

Strengths:

A major strength of the manuscript is the performance of the exhaustive set of TnSeq experiments with multiple strains of M. intracellulare during in vitro growth and animal infection.

Weaknesses:

(1) The study suffers from the authors' preconceived bias toward a small subset of genes involved in hypoxic pellicle formation in ATCC13950.

(2) An important set of data with the ATCC13950 reference strain is missing in the mouse infection study. In the absence of this, it is difficult to establish whether the identified genes are critical for infection/intracellular proliferation, specifically in the clinical isolates that are relatively more adapted for hypoxia.

(3) Statistical enrichment analysis of gene sets by GSEA wrongly involves genes required for hypoxic pellicle formation in ATCC13950 together with the gene sets found essential in the clinical MAC-PD strains, to claim that a significant % of genes belong to hypoxia-adaptation pathways. It could be factually incorrect because a majority of these might overlap with those found critical for the in vitro survival of MAC-PD strains (and may not be related to hypoxia).

(4) Validation of mouse infection experiments with individual mutants is missing.

(5) Phenotypes with TnSeq and CRISPRi-based KD exhibit poor correlation with misleading justifications by the authors.

In summary, this study is unable to provide mechanistic insights into why and how different MAC-PD mutant strains exhibit differential survival (in vitro and in animals) and adaptation to hypoxia. It remains to understand why the clinical strains show better adaptation to hypoxia and what is the impact of other stresses on their growth rates.

Reviewer #3 (Public Review):

Summary:

The study by Tateishi et al. utilized TnSeq in nine genetically diverse M. intracellulare strains, identifying 131 common essential and growth-defect-associated genes across those strains, which could serve as potential drug targets. The authors also provided an overview of the differences in gene essentiality required for hypoxic growth between the reference strain and the clinical strains. Furthermore, they validated the universal and accessory/strain-dependent essential genes by knocking down their expression using CRISPRi technique. Overall, this study offers a comprehensive assessment of gene requirements in different clinical strains of M. intracellular.

(1) The rationale for using ATCC13950 versus clinical strains needs to be clarified. The reference strain ATCC13950 was obtained from the abdominal lymph node of a patient around 10 years ago and is therefore considered a clinical strain that has undergone passages in vitro. How many mutations have accumulated during these in vitro passages? Are these mutations significant enough to cause the behavior of ATCC13950 to differ from other recently sampled clinical strains? From the phylogenetic tree, ATCC13950 is located between M018 and M.i.27. Did the authors observe a similarity in gene essentiality between ATCC13950 and its neighbor strains? What is the key feature that separates ATCC13950 from these clinical strains? The authors should provide a strong rationale for how to interpret the results of this comparison in a clinical or biological context.

(2) Regarding the 'nine representative strains of M. intracellulare with diverse genotypes in this study,' how were these nine strains selected? To what extent do they represent the genetic diversity of the M. intracellulare population? A phylogenetic tree illustrating the global genetic diversity of the M. intracellulare population, with these strains marked on it, would be important to demonstrate their genetic representativeness.

(3) The authors observed a considerable amount of differential gene requirements in clinical strains. However, the genetic underpinning underlying the differential requirement of genes in clinical strains was not investigated or discussed. Because M. intracellulare has a huge number of accessory genes, the authors should at least check whether the differential requirement could be explained by the existence of a second copy of functional analogous genes or duplications.

(4) Growth in aerobic and hypoxic conditions: The authors concluded that clinical strains are better adapted to hypoxia, as reflected by their earlier entry into the log phase. They presented the 'Time at midpoint' and 'Growth rate at midpoint.' However, after reviewing the growth curves, I noticed that ATCC13950 had a longer lag phase compared to other strains under hypoxic conditions, and its phylogenetic neighbor M018 also had a longer lag phase. Hence, I do not believe a conclusion can be drawn that clinical strains are better adapted to hypoxia, as this behavior could be specific to a particular clade. It's also possible that the ATCC13950 strain has adapted to aerobic growth. I would suggest that the authors include growth curves in the main figures. The difference in 'Time at midpoint' could be attributed to several factors, and visualizing the growth curves would provide additional context and clarity.

(5) Lack of statistical statement: The authors emphasized the role of pellicle-formation-associated genes in strain-dependent essential and accessory essential genes. Additionally, the authors observed that 10% of the genes required for mouse infection are also required for hypoxic pellicle formation. However, these are merely descriptive statements. There is no enrichment analysis to justify whether pellicle-formation-associated genes are significantly enriched in these groups.

This important study shows the effect of gut dysbiosis on the colonization of mycobacteria in the lung. The data with comprehensive analysis of gene expression profiles in the lung with dysbiotic mice is compelling and goes beyond the current state of the art. However, the mechanistic insight and the experiments with Mtb infection are incomplete. With those parts strengthened, this paper would be of interest to researchers working on Mtb infection.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

This work sought to demonstrate that gut microbiota dysbiosis may promote the colonization of mycobacteria, and they tried to prove that Nos2 down-regulation was a key mediator of such gut-lung pathogenesis transition.

Strengths:

They did large-scale analysis of RNAs in lungs to analyze the gene expression of mice upon gut dysbiosis in MS-infected mice. This might help provide an overview of gene pathways and critical genes for lung pathology in gut dysbiosis. This data is somewhat useful and important for the TB field.

Weaknesses:

(1) They did not use wide-type Mtb strain (e.g. H37Rv) to develop mouse TB infection models, and this may lead to the failure of the establishment of TB granuloma and other TB pathology icons.

(2) The usage of in vitro assays based on A542 to examine the regulation function of Nos2 expression on NO and ROS may not be enough. A542 is not the primary Mtb infection target in the lungs.

(3) They did not examine the lung pathology upon gut dysbiosis to examine the true significance of increased colonization of Mtb.

(4) Most of the studies are based on MS-infected mouse models with a lack of clinical significance.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

The manuscript entitled "Intestinal microbiome dysbiosis increases Mycobacteria pulmonary colonization in mice by regulating the Nos2-associated pathways" by Han et al reported that using clindamycin, an antibiotic to selectively disorder anaerobic Bacteriodetes, intestinal microbiome dysbiosis resulted in Mycobacterium smegmatis (MS) colonization in the mice lungs. The authors found that clindamycin induced damage of the enterocytes and gut permeability and also enhanced the fermentation of cecum contents, which finally increased MS colonization in the mice's lungs. The study showed that gut microbiota dysbiosis up-regulated the Nos2 gene-associated pathways, leading to increased nitric oxide (NO) levels and decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and β-defensin 1 (Defb1) levels. These changes in the host's immune response created an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory environment that favored MS colonization in the lungs. The findings suggest that gut microbiota dysbiosis can modulate the host's immune response and increase susceptibility to pulmonary infections by altering the expression of key genes and pathways involved in innate immunity. The authors reasonably provided experimental data and subsequent gene profiles to support their conclusion. Although the overall outcomes are convincing, there are several issues that need to be addressed:

(1) In Figure S1, the reviewer suggests checking the image sizes of the pathological sections of intestinal tissue from the control group and the CL-treatment group. When compared to the same intestinal tissue images in Figure S4, they do not appear to be consistently magnified at 40x. The numerical scale bars should be presented instead of just magnification such as "40x".

(2) In Figure 4d, the ratio of Firmicutes in the CL-FMT group decreased compared to the CON-FMT group, whereas the CL-treatment group showed an increase in Firmicutes compared to the Control group in Figure 3b. The author should explain this discrepancy and discuss its potential implications on the study's findings.

(3) In Figure 6, did the authors have a specific reason for selecting Nos2 but not Tnf for further investigation? The expression level of the Tnf gene appears to be the most significant in both RT-qPCR and RNA-sequencing results in Figure 5f. Tnf is an important cytokine involved in immune responses to bacterial infections, so it is also a factor that can influence NO, ROS, and Defb1 levels.

The manuscript by Carbo et al. reports a novel role for the MltG homolog AgmT in gliding motility in M. xanthus. The authors provide convincing data to demonstrate that AgmT is a cell wall lytic enzyme (likely a lytic transglycosylase), its lytic activity is required for gliding motility, and that its activity is required for proper binding of a component of the motility apparatus to the cell wall. The findings are valuable as they contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between gliding motility and the bacterial cell wall.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

This manuscript nicely outlines a conceptual problem with the bFAC model in A-motility, namely, how is the energy produced by the inner membrane AglRQS motor transduced through the cell wall into mechanical force on the cell surface to drive motility? To address this, the authors make a significant contribution by identifying and characterizing a lytic transglycosylase (LTG) called AgmT. This work thus provides clues and a future framework work for addressing mechanical force transmission between the cytoplasm and the cell surface.

Strengths:

(1) Convincing evidence shows AgmT functions as an LTG and, surprisingly, that mltG from E. coli complements the swarming defect of an agmT mutant.

(2) Authors show agmT mutants develop morphological changes in response to treatment with a -lactam antibiotic, mecillinam.

(3) The use of single-molecule tracking to monitor the assembly and dynamics of bFACs in WT and mutant backgrounds.

(4) The authors understand the limitations of their work and do not overinterpret their data.

Weaknesses:

(1) A clear model of AgmT's role in gliding motility or interactions with other A-motility proteins is not provided. Instead, speculative roles for how AgmT enzymatic activity could facilitate bFAC function in A-motility are discussed.

(2) Although agmT mutants do not swarm, in-depth phenotypic analysis is lacking. In particular, do individual agmT mutant cells move, as found with other swarming defective mutants, or are agmT mutants completely nonmotile, as are motor mutants?

(3) The bioinformatic and comparative genomics analysis of agmT is incomplete. For example, the sequence relationships between AgmT, MltG, and the 13 other LTG proteins in M. xanthus are not clear. Is E. coli MltG the closest homology to AgmT? Their relationships could be addressed with a phylogenetic tree and/or sequence alignments. Furthermore, are there other A-motility genes in proximity to agmT? Similarly, does agmT show specific co-occurrences with the other A-motility genes across genera/species?

(4) Related to iii, what about the functional relationship of the endogenous 13 LTG genes? Although knockout mutants were shown to be motile, presumably because AgmT is present, can overexpression of them, similar to E. coli MltG, complement an agmT mutant? In other words, why does MltG complement and the endogenous LTG proteins appear not to be relevant?

(5) Based on Figure 2B, overexpression of MltG enhances A-motility compared to the parent strain and the agmT-PAmCh complemented strain, is this actually true? Showing expanded swarming colony phenotypes would help address this question.

(6) Cell flexibility is correlated with gliding motility function in M. xanthus. Since AgmT has LTG activity, are agmT mutants less flexible than WT cells and is this the cause of their motility defect?

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

The manuscript by Carbo et al. reports a novel role for the MltG homolog AgmT in gliding motility in M. xanthus. The authors conclusively show that AgmT is a cell wall lytic enzyme (likely a lytic transglycosylase), its lytic activity is required for gliding motility, and that its activity is required for proper binding of a component of the motility apparatus to the cell wall. The data are generally well-controlled. The marked strength of the manuscript includes the detailed characterization of AgmT as a cell wall lytic enzyme, and the careful dissection of its role in motility. Using multiple lines of evidence, the authors conclusively show that AgmT does not directly associate with the motility complexes, but that instead its absence (or the overexpression of its active site mutant) results in the failure of focal adhesion complexes to properly interact with the cell wall.

An interpretive weakness is the rather direct role attributed to AgmT in focal adhesion assembly. While their data clearly show that AgmT is important, it is unclear whether this is the direct consequence of AgmT somehow promoting bFAC binding to PG or just an indirect consequence of changed cell wall architecture without AgmT. In E. coli, an MltG mutant has increased PG strain length, suggesting that M. xanthus's PG architecture may likewise be compromised in a way that precludes AglR binding to the cell wall. However, this distinction would be very difficult to establish experimentally. MltG has been shown to associate with active cell wall synthesis in E.c oli in the absence of protein-protein interactions, and one could envision a similar model in M. xanthus, where active cell wall synthesis is required for focal adhesion assembly, and MltG makes an important contribution to this process.

This important study demonstrates a potential mechanism by which adjuvants influence T-cell responses. The observation that adjuvant impacts the exogenous peptide repertoire presented by MHC II molecules is fascinating and the strength of the evidence is solid, with studies comparing different adjuvants and an H pylori vaccine in murine models and in vitro systems, analysis of MHCII: peptide complexes in antigen-presenting cells and assessment of differential peptide binding affinities. This work will be of broad interest to vaccinologists as well as immunologists.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

Li et al investigated how adjuvants such as MPLA and CpG influence antigen presentation at the level of the Antigen-presenting cell and MHCII : peptide interaction. They found that the use of MPLA or CpG influences the exogenous peptide repertoire presented by MHC II molecules. Additionally, their observations included the finding that peptides with low-stability peptide:MHC interactions yielded more robust CD4+ T cell responses in mice. These phenomena were illustrated specifically for 2 pattern recognition receptor activating adjuvants. This work represents a step forward for how adjuvants program CD4+ Th responses and provides further evidence regarding the expected mechanisms of PRR adjuvants in enhancing CD4+ T cell responses in the setting of vaccination.

Strengths:

The authors use a variety of systems to analyze this question. Initial observations were collected in an H pylori model of vaccination with a demonstration of immunodominance differences simply by adjuvant type, followed by analysis of MHC:peptide as well as proteomic analysis with comparison by adjuvant group. Their analysis returns to peptide immunization and analysis of strength of relative CD4+ T cell responses, through calculation of IC:50 values and strength of binding. This is a comprehensive work. The logical sequence of experiments makes sense and follows an unexpected observation through to trying to understand that process further with peptide immunization and its impact on Th responses. This work will premise further studies into the mechanisms of adjuvants on T cells

Weaknesses:

While MDP has a different manner of interaction as an adjuvant compared to CpG and MPLA, it is unclear why MDP has a different impact on peptide presentation and it should be further investigated, or at minimum highlighted in the discussion as an area that requires further investigation.

It is alluded by the authors that TLR activating adjuvants mediate selective, low affinity, exogenous peptide binding onto MHC class II molecules. However, this was not demonstrated to be related specifically to TLR binding. I wonder if some work with TLR deficient mice (TLR 4KO for example) could evaluate this phenomenon more specifically.

It is unclear to me if this observation is H pylori model/antigen-specific. It may have been nice to characterize the phenomenon with a different set of antigens as supplemental. Lastly, it is unclear if the peptide immunization experiment reveals a clear pattern related to high and low-stability peptides among the peptides analyzed.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Adjuvants boost antigen-specific immune responses to vaccines. However, whether adjuvants modulate the epitope immunodominance and the mechanisms involved in adjuvant's effect on antigen processing and presentation are not fully characterized. In this manuscript, Li et al report that immunodominant epitopes recognized by antigen-specific T cells are altered by adjuvants.

Using MPLA, CpG, and MDP adjuvants and H. pylori antigens, the authors screened the dominant epitopes of Th1 responses in mice post-vaccination with different adjuvants and found that adjuvants altered antigen-specific CD4+ T cell immunodominant epitope hierarchy. They show that adjuvants, MPLA and CpG especially, modulate the peptide repertoires presented on the surface of APCs. Surprisingly, adjuvant favored the presentation of low-stability peptides rather than high-stability peptides by APCs. As a result, the low stability peptide presented in adjuvant groups elicits T cell response effectively.

This study provides valuable insights into how IL-1 cytokines may protect cells against SARS-COV-2 infection. By inducing a non-canonical RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway, IL-1beta appears to inhibit the ability of SARS-COV-2 infected cells to fuse with uninfected cells and produce syncytia. The evidence underlying the identification of the key signaling components required for this inhibitory phenotype in vitro is solid and could be further improved by addressing key weaknesses. However, data supporting this specific mechanism of inhibition in IL-1-mediated control of SARS-COV-2 infection in vivo remains incomplete.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces syncytia formation, which promotes viral transmission. In this paper, the authors aimed to understand how host-derived inflammatory cytokines IL-1α/β combat SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Strengths:

First, they used a cell-cell fusion assay developed previously to identify IL-1α/β as the cytokines that inhibit syncytia formation. They co-cultured cells expressing the spike protein and cells expressing ACE2 and found that IL-1β treatment decreased syncytia formation and S2' cleavage.

Second, they investigated the IL-1 signaling pathway in detail, using knockouts or pharmacological perturbation to understand the signaling proteins responsible for blocking cell fusion. They found that IL-1 prevents cell-cell fusion through MyD88/IRAK/TRAF6 but not TAK1/IKK/NF-κB, as only knocking out MyD88/IRAK/TRAF6 eliminates the inhibitory effect on cell-cell fusion in response to IL-1β. This revealed that the inhibition of cell fusion did not require a transcriptional response and was mediated by IL-1R proximal signaling effectors.

Third, the authors identified RhoA/ROCK activation by IL-1 as the basis for this inhibition of cell fusion. By visualizing a RhoA biosensor and actin, they found a redistribution of RhoA to the cell periphery and cell-cell junctions after IL-1 stimulation. This triggered the formation of actin bundles at cell-cell junctions, preventing fusion and syncytia formation. The authors confirmed this molecular mechanism by using constitutively active RhoA and an inhibitor of ROCK.

Diverse Cell types and in vivo models were used, and consistent results were shown across diverse models. These results were convincing and well-presented.

Weaknesses:

As the authors point out in the discussion, whether IL-1-mediated RhoA activation is specific to viral infection or regulates other RhoA-regulated processes is unclear. We would also require high-magnification images of the subcellular organization of the cytoskeleton to appreciate the effect of IL-1 stimulation.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

In this study, Zheng et al investigated the role of inflammatory cytokines in protecting cells against SARS-CoV-2 infection. They demonstrate that soluble factors in the supernatants of TLR-stimulated THP1 cells reduce fusion events between HEK293 cells expressing SARS-CoV-2 S protein and the ACE2 receptor. Using qRT-PCR and ELISA, they demonstrate that IL-1 cytokines are (not surprisingly) upregulated by TLR treatment in THP1 cells. Further, they convincingly demonstrate that recombinant IL-1 cytokines are sufficient to reduce cell-to-cell fusion mediated by the S protein. Using chemical inhibitors and CRISPR knock-out of key IL-1 receptor signaling components in HEK293 cells, they demonstrate that components of the myddosome (MYD88, IRAK1/4, and TRAF6) are required for fusion inhibition, but that downstream canonical signaling (i.e., TAK1 and NFKB activation) is not required. Instead, they provide evidence that IL-1-dependent non-canonical activation of RhoA/Rock is important for this phenotype. Importantly, the authors demonstrate that expression of a constitutively active RhoA alone is sufficient to inhibit fusion and that chemical inhibition of Rock could reverse this inhibition. The authors followed up these in vitro experiments by examining the effects of IL-1 on SARS-COV-2 infection in vivo and they demonstrate that recombinant IL-1 can reduce viral burden and lung pathogenesis in a mouse model of infection. However, the contribution of the RhoA/Rock pathway and inhibition of fusion to IL-1-mediated control of SARS-CoV-2 infection in vivo remains unclear.

Strengths:

(1) The bioluminescence cell-cell fusion assay provides a robust quantitative method to examine cytokine effects on viral glycoprotein-mediated fusion.

(2) The study identifies a new mechanism by which IL-1 cytokines can limit virus infection.

(3) The authors tested IL-1 mediated inhibition of fusion induced by many different coronavirus S proteins and several SARS-CoV-2 strains.

Weaknesses:

(1) The qualitative assay demonstrating S2 cleavage and IL-1 mediated inhibition of this phenotype is extremely variable across the data figures. Sometimes it appears like S2 cleavage (S2') is reduced, while in other figures immunoblots show that total S2 protein is decreased. Based on the proposed model the expectation would be that S2 abundance would be rescued when cleavage is inhibited.

(2) The text referencing Figure 1H suggests that TLR-stimulated THP-1 cell supernatants "significantly" reduce syncytia, but image quantification and statistics are not provided to support this statement.

(3) The authors conclude that because IL-1 accumulates in TLR2-stimulated THP1 monocyte supernatants, this cytokine accounts for the ability of these supernatants to inhibit cell-cell fusion. However, they do not directly test whether IL-1 is required for the phenotype. Inhibition of the IL-1 receptor in supernatant-treated cells would help support their conclusion.

(4) Immunoblot analysis of IL-1 treated HEK293 cells suggests that this cytokine does not reduce the abundance of ACE2 or total S protein in cells. However, it is possible that IL-1 signaling reduces the abundance of these proteins on the cell surface, which would result in a similar inhibition of cell-cell fusion. The authors should confirm that IL-1 treatment of their cells does not change Ace2 or S protein on the cell surface.

(5) In Figure 5A, expression of constitutively active RhoA appears to have profound effects on how ACE2 runs by SDS-PAGE, suggesting that RhoA may have additional effects on ACE2 biology that might account for the decreased cell-cell fusion. This phenotype should be addressed in the text and explored in more detail.

(6) The experiments linking IL-1 mediated restriction of SARS-COV-2 fusion to the control of virus infection in vivo are incomplete. The reported data demonstrate that recombinant IL-1 can restrict virus replication in vivo, but they fall short of confirming that the in vitro mechanism described (reduced fusion) contributes to the control of SARS-CoV2 replication in vivo. A critical piece of data that is missing is the demonstration that the ROCK inhibitor phenocopies IL-1RA treatment of SARS-COV-2 infected mice (viral infection and pathology).

eLife assessment

In this valuable study, the authors propose a model wherein the bacterial redox state plays a crucial role in the differentiation of Chlamydia trachomatis into elementary and reticulate bodies. They provide evidence to argue that a highly oxidising environment favours the formation of elementary bodies while a reducing condition slows down development. Whilst aspects related to the role of AhpC in regulating redox, and implications on differentiation, are solid, more precise measurements of the redox potential are required to convincingly demonstrate the role of redox in developmental progression.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

Chlamydia spp. has a biphasic developmental cycle consisting of an extracellular, infectious form called an elementary body (EB) and an intracellular, replicative form known as a reticular body (RB). The structural stability of EBs is maintained by extensive cross-linking of outer membrane proteins while the outer membrane proteins of RBs are in a reduced state. The overall redox state of EBs is more oxidized than RBs. The authors propose that the redox state may be a controlling factor in the developmental cycle. To test this, alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit C (ahpC) was overexpressed or knocked down to examine effects on developmental gene expression. KD of ahpC induced increased expression of EB-specific genes and accelerated EB production. Conversely, overexpression of phpC delayed differentiation to EBs. The results suggest that chlamydial redox state may play a role in differentiation.

Strengths:

Uses modern genetic tools to explore the difficult area of temporal gene expression throughout the chlamydial developmental cycle.

Weaknesses:

The environmental signals triggering ahpC expression/activity are not determined.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

The factors that influence the differentiation of EBs and RBs during Chlamydial development are not clearly understood. A previous study had shown a redox oscillation during the Chlamydial developmental cycle. Based on this observation, the authors hypothesize that the bacterial redox state may play a role in regulating the differentiation in Chlamydia. To test their hypothesis, they make knock-down and overexpression strains of the major ROS regulator, ahpC. They show that the knock-down of ahpC leads to a significant increase in ROS levels leading to an increase in the production of elementary bodies and overexpression leads to a decrease in EB production likely caused by a decrease in oxidation. From their observations, they present an interesting model wherein an increase in oxidation favors the production of EBs.

Major concern:

In the absence of proper redox potential measurements, it is not clear if what they observe is a general oxidative stress response, especially when the knock-down of ahpC leads to a significant increase in ROS levels. Direct redox potential measurement in the ahpC overexpression and knock-down cells is required to support the model. This can be done using the roGFP-based measurements mentioned in the Wang et al. 2014 study cited by the authors.

Reviewer #3 (Public Review):

Summary:

The study reports clearly on the role of the AhpC protein as an antioxidant factor in Chlamydia trachomatis and speculates on the role of AhpC as an indirect regulator of developmental transcription induced by redox stress in this differentiating obligate intracellular bacterium.

Strengths:

The question posed and the concluding model about redox-dependent differentiation in chlamydia is interesting and highly relevant. This work fits with other propositions in which redox changes have been reported during bacterial developmental cycles, potentially as triggers, but have not been cited (examples PMID: 2865432, PMID: 32090198, PMID: 26063575). Here, AhpC over-expression is shown to protect Chlamydia towards redox stress imposed by H2O2, CHP, TBHP, and PN, while CRISPRi-mediated depletion of AhpC curbed intracellular replication and resulted in increased ROS levels and sensitivity to oxidizing agents. Importantly, the addition of ROS scavengers mitigated the growth defect caused by AhpC depletion. These results clearly establish the role of AhpC affects the redox state and growth in Ct (with the complicated KO genetics and complementation that are very nicely done).

Weaknesses:

However, with respect to the most important implication and claims of this work, the role of redox in controlling the chlamydial developmental cycle rather than simply being a correlation/passenger effect, I am less convinced about the impact of this work. First, the study is largely observational and does not resolve how this redox control of the cell cycle could be achieved, whereas in the case of Caulobacter, a clear molecular link between DNA replication and redox has been proposed. How would progressive oxidation in RBs eventually trigger the secondary developmental genes to induce EB differentiation? Is there an OxyR homolog that could elicit this change and why would the oxidation stress in RBs gradually accumulate during growth despite the presence of AhpC? In other words, the role of AhpC is simply to delay or dampen the redox stress response until the trigger kicks in, again, what is the trigger? Is this caused by increasing oxidative respiration of RBs in the inclusion? But what determines the redox threshold?

I also find the experiment with Pen treatment to have little predictive power. The fact that transcription just proceeds when division is blocked is not unprecedented. This also happens during the Caulobacter cell cycle when FtsZ is depleted for most developmental genes, except for those that are activated upon completion of the asymmetric cell division and that is dependent on the completion of compartmentalization. This is a smaller subset of developmental genes in caulobacter, but if there is a similar subset that depends on division on chlamydia and if these are affected by redox as well, then the argument about the interplay between developmental transcription and redox becomes much stronger and the link more intriguing. Another possibility to strengthen the study is to show that redox-regulated genes are under the direct control of chlamydial developmental regulators such as Euo, HctA, or others and at least show dual regulation by these inputs -perhaps the feed occurs through the same path.

This redox-transcription shortcoming is also reflected in the discussion where most are about the effects and molecular mitigation of redox stress in various systems, but there is little discussion on its link with developmental transcription in bacteria in general and chlamydia.

eLife assessment

This important study examines the role of TNF in modulating energy metabolism during parasite infection. The authors perform an elegant set of studies, however the evidence supporting the major claims of the manuscript is incomplete. This work integrates an interesting set of observations that will be of interest to the Plasmodium and pathogenesis communities with an expanded set of experiments.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

The manuscript by Kely C. Matteucc et al. titled "Reprogramming of host energy metabolism mediated by the TNF-iNOS-HIF-1α axis plays a key role in host resistance to Plasmodium infection" describes that TNF induces HIF-1α stabilization that increases GLUT1 expression as well as glycolytic metabolism in monocytic and splenic CD11b+ cells in P. chabaudi infected mice. Also, TNF signaling plays a crucial role in host energy metabolism, controlling parasitemia, and regulating the clinical symptoms in experimental malaria.

Weaknesses:

Even though iNOS deficiency reduced the expression of the glycolytic enzymes as well as reduced GLUT1 expression and lower ECAR in splenic monocytes, there is no data to support that RNI induces the expression and stabilization of HIF-1α.

This paper involves an incredible amount of work, and the authors have done an exciting study addressing the TNF-iNOS-HIF-1α axis as a critical role in host immune defense during Plasmodium infection.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

The premise of the manuscript by Matteucci et al. is interesting and elaborates on a mechanism via which TNFa regulates monocyte activation and metabolism to promote murine survival during Plasmodium infection. The authors show that TNF signaling (via an unknown mechanism) induces nitrite synthesis, which (via yet an unknown mechanism), and stabilizes the transcription factor HIF1a. Furthermore, HIF1a (via an unknown mechanism) increases GLUT1 expression and increases glycolysis in monocytes. The authors demonstrate that this metabolic rewiring towards increased glycolysis in a subset of monocytes is necessary for monocyte activation including cytokine secretion, and parasite control.

Strengths:

The authors provide elegant in vivo experiments to characterize metabolic consequences of Plasmodium infection, and isolate cell populations whose metabolic state is regulated downstream of TNFa. Furthermore, the authors tie together several interesting observations to propose an interesting model.

Weaknesses:

The main conclusion of this work - that "Reprogramming of host energy metabolism mediated by the TNF-iNOS-HIF1a axis plays a key role in host resistance to Plasmodium infection" is unsubstantiated. The authors show that TNFa induces GLUT1 in monocytes, but never show a direct role for GLUT1 or glucose uptake in monocytes in host resistance to infection (nor the hypoglycemia phenotype they describe).

eLife assessment

The work provides a valuable assessment of how antibiotics impact the human gut microbiota in diverse observational cohorts. Although the data presented are solid, some of the assumptions underlying their models may have affected the interpretation of their findings. The study is relevant for researchers and clinicians interested in antimicrobial resistance.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

In this manuscript, the authors provide a study among healthy individuals, general medical patients and patients receiving haematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) to study the gut microbiome through shotgun metagenomic sequencing of stool samples. The first two groups were sampled once, while the patients receiving HCT were sampled longitudinally. A range of metadata (including current and previous (up to 1 year before sampling) antibiotic use) was recorded for all sampled individuals. The authors then performed shotgun metagenomic sequencing (using the Illumina platform) and performed bioinformatic analyses on these data to determine the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota and the antibiotic resistance genes therein. The authors conclude, on the basis of these analyses, that some antibiotics had a large impact on gut microbiota diversity, and could select opportunistic pathogens and/or antibiotic resistance genes in the gut microbiota.

Strengths:

The major strength of this study is the considerable achievement of performing this observational study in a large cohort of individuals. Studies into the impact of antibiotic therapy on the gut microbiota are difficult to organise, perform and interpret, and this work follows state-of-the-art methodologies to achieve its goals. The authors have achieved their objectives and the conclusion they draw on the impact of different antibiotics and their impact on the gut microbiota and its antibiotic resistance genes (the 'resistome', in short), are supported by the data presented in this work.

Weaknesses:

The weaknesses are the lack of information on the different resistance genes that have been identified and which could have been supplied as Supplementary Data. In addition, no attempt is made to assess whether the identified resistance genes are associated with mobile genetic elements and/or (opportunistic) pathogens in the gut. While this is challenging with short-read data, alternative approaches like long-read metagenomics, Hi-C and/or culture-based profiling of bacterial communities could have been employed to further strengthen this work. Unfortunately, the authors have not attempted to perform corrections for multiple testing because many antibiotic exposures were correlated.

Impact:

The work may impact policies on the use of antibiotics, as those drugs that have major impacts on the diversity of the gut microbiota and select for antibiotic resistance genes in the gut are better avoided. However, the primary rationale for antibiotic therapy will remain the clinical effectiveness of antimicrobial drugs, and the impact on the gut microbiota and resistome will be secondary to these considerations.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

In this manuscript by Peto et al., the authors describe the impact of different antimicrobials on gut microbiota in a prospective observational study of 225 participants (healthy volunteers, inpatients and outpatients). Both cross-sectional data (all participants) and longitudinal data (a subset of 79 haematopoietic cell transplant patients) were used. Using metagenomic sequencing, they estimated the impact of antibiotic exposure on gut microbiota composition and resistance genes. In their models, the authors aim to correct for potential confounders (e.g. demographics, non-antimicrobial exposures and physiological abnormalities), and for differences in the recency and total duration of antibiotic exposure. I consider these comprehensive models an important strength of this observational study. Yet, the underlying assumptions of such models may have impacted the study findings (detailed below). Other strengths include the presence of both cross-sectional and longitudinal exposure data and the presence of both healthy volunteers and patients. Together, these observational findings expand on previous studies (both observational and RCTs) describing the impact of antimicrobials on gut microbiota.

Weaknesses:

(1) The main weaknesses result from the observational design. This hampers causal interpretation and corrects for potential confounding necessary. The authors have used comprehensive models to correct for potential confounders and for differences between participants in duration of antibiotic exposure and time between exposure and sample collection. I wonder if some of the choices made by the authors did affect these findings. For example, the authors did not include travel in the final model, but travel (most importantly, south Asia) may result in the acquisition of AMR genes [Worby et al., Lancet Microbe 2023; PMID 37716364). Moreover, non-antimicrobial drugs (such as proton pump inhibitors) were not included but these have a well-known impact on gut microbiota and might be linked with exposure to antimicrobial drugs. Residual confounding may underlie some of the unexplained discrepancies between the cross-sectional and longitudinal data (e.g. for vancomycin).

In addition, the authors found a disruption half-life of 6 days to be the best fit based on Shannon diversity. If I'm understanding correctly, this results in a near-zero modelled exposure of a 14-day-course after 70 days (purple line; Supplementary Figure 2). However, it has been described that microbiota composition and resistome (not Shannon diversity!) remain altered for longer periods of time after (certain) antibiotic exposures (e.g. Anthony et al., Cell Reports 2022; PMID 35417701). The authors did not assess whether extending the disruption half-life would alter their conclusions.

(2) Another consequence of the observational design of this study is the relatively small number of participants available for some comparisons (e.g. oral clindamycin was only used by 6 participants). Care should be taken when drawing any conclusions from such small numbers.

(3) The authors assessed log-transformed relative abundances of specific bacteria after subsampling to 3.5 million reads. While I agree that some kind of data transformation is probably preferable, these methods do not address the compositional data of microbiome data and using a pseudocount (10-6) is necessary for absent (i.e. undetected) taxa [Gloor et al., Front Microbiol 2017; PMID 29187837]. Given the centrality of these relative abundances to their conclusions, a sensitivity analysis using compositionally-aware methods (such as a centred log-ratio (clr) transformation) would have added robustness to their findings.

(4) An overall description of gut microbiota composition and resistome of the included participants is missing. This makes it difficult to compare the current study population to other studies. In addition, for correct interpretation of the findings, it would have been helpful if the reasons for hospital visits of the general medical patients were provided.

eLife assessment

This valuable study reports data showing the link between a disruption in testicular mineral (phosphate) homeostasis, FGF23 expression, and Sertoli cell dysfunction. The data supporting the conclusion remains incomplete. This work will be of interest to biomedical researchers working on testis biology and male infertility.

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary:

Despite the study being a collation of important results likely to have an overall positive effect on the field, methodological weaknesses and suboptimal use of statistics make it difficult to give confidence to the study's message.

Strengths:

Relevant human and mouse models approached with in vivo and in vitro techniques.

Weaknesses:

The methodology, statistics, reagents, analyses, and manuscripts' language all lack rigour.

(1) The authors used statistics to generate P-values and Rsquare values to evaluate the strength of their findings.

However, it is unclear how stats were used and/or whether stats were used correctly. For instance, the authors write: "Gaussian distribution of all numerical variables was evaluated by QQ plots". But why? For statistical tests that fall under the umbrella of General Linear Models (line ANOVA, t-tests, and correlations (Pearson's)), there are several assumptions that ought to be checked, including typically:

(a) Gaussian distribution of residuals.

(b) Homoskedasticity of the residuals.

(c) Independence of Y, but that's assumed to be valid due to experimental design.

So what is the point of evaluating the Gaussian distribution of the data themselves? It is not necessary. In this reviewer's opinion, it is irrelevant, not a good use of statistics, and we ought to be leading by example here.

Additionally, it is not clear whether the homoscedasticity of the residuals was checked. Many of the data appear to have particularly heteroskedastic residuals. In many respects, homoscedasticity matters more than the normal distribution of the residuals. In Graphpad analyses if ANOVA is used but equal variances are assumed (when variances among groups are unequal then standard deviations assigned in each group will be wrong and thus incorrect p values are being calculated.

Based on the incomplete and/or wrong statistical analyses it is difficult to evaluate the study in greater depth.

While on the subject of stats, it is worth mentioning this misuse of statistics in Figure 3D, where the authors added the Slc34a1 transcript levels from controls in the correlation analyses, thereby driving the intercept down. Without the Control data there does not appear to be a correlation between the Slc34a1 levels and tumor size.

There is more. The authors make statements (e.g. in the figure levels as: "Correlations indicated by R2.". What does that mean? In a simple correlation, the P value is used to evaluate the strength of the slope being different from zero. The authors also give R2 values for the correlations but they do not provide R2 values for the other stats (like ANOVAs). Why not?

(2) The authors used antibodies for immunos and WBs. I checked those antibodies online and it was concerning:

(a) Many are discontinued.

(b) Many are not validated.

(c) Many performed poorly in the Immunos, e.g. FGF23, FGFR1, and Kotho are not really convincing. PO5F1 (gene: OCT4) is the one that looks convincing as it is expressed at the correct cell types.

(d) Others like NPT2A (product of gene SLC34A1) are equally unconvincing. Shouldn't the immuno show them to be in the plasma membrane?

If there is some brown staining, this does not mean the antibodies are working. If your antibodies are not validated then you ought to omit the immunos from the manuscript.

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

This study set out to examine microlithiasis associated with an increased risk of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). This reviewer considers this to be an excellent study. It raises questions regarding exactly how aberrant Sertoli cell function could induce osteogenic-like differentiation of germ cells but then all research should raise more questions than it answers.

Strengths:

Data showing the link between a disruption in testicular mineral (phosphate) homeostasis, FGF23 expression, and Sertoli cell dysfunction, are compelling.

Weaknesses:

Not sure I see any weaknesses here, as this study advances this area of inquiry and ends with a hypothesis for future testing.

La escritura creativa nos invita a explorar mundos imaginarios, conectar con nuestras emociones y reflexionar sobre el mundo que nos rodea es una herramienta poderosa para el desarrollo personal, la conexión con los demás y el cambio social me encantó mucho está tesis ya que nos comparte que mejora la comunicación, la expresión escrita, la creatividad y la inteligencia emocional fortalece la autoestima, aumenta confianza en uno mismo. Fomenta el pensamiento crítico, analizar y reflexionar sobre diferentes temas.

En resumen a todo este texto es que la escritura creativa es una herramienta valiosa para el desarrollo del alumno, tanto a nivel personal como académico. La escuela tiene la responsabilidad de fomentar la escritura creativa en el aula, proporcionando a los alumnos las herramientas y el apoyo necesarios para expresarse libremente a través de la escritura. Y así el niño pueda seguir progresando en todo el transcurso de su vida estudiantil.

Este texto me ha parecido muy interesaste pero lo que mas me gusto y me llamo la atención fue sobre la escritura creativa en el aula de Educación Primaria. Este trabajo no solo resalta la importancia de la creatividad en la enseñanza de la escritura, sino que también proporciona metodologías y propuestas didácticas concretas para implementar en el aula. Me ha gustado mucho la forma en que el trabajo combina la teoría con la práctica, proponiendo el uso de nuevas tecnologías, como blogs, para motivar a los estudiantes y desarrollar sus competencias lingüísticas. Además, la revisión del currículo y los métodos históricos de enseñanza de la escritura nos ha permitido conocer y comprender de una mejor manera la evolución de las prácticas educativas en este campo. En definitiva, considero que este trabajo es una valiosa herramienta para cualquier docente que busque fomentar la creatividad y mejorar las habilidades de escritura de sus alumnos ya que la escritura es vital para la expresión y comunicación de docentes a estudiantes y de estudiantes así los docentes.

Es tan cierto como escritores como Vargas Llosa (2001 nos hacen caer en cuenta en como nos hemos acostumbrado solo a escribir mensajes de texto en vez de volver ha escribir cartas en las cuales podemos expresarnos emociones y pensamiento los cuales son muy dificles de expresar o talvez en adentrarnos en leer llibros que nos puede hacer imaginar otras mundos y realidades, mandamos de un 1000000 de mensajes al dia pero no somos capaces de leer un libro escribir algo a mano es por eso que hoy en dia prefieren darle a un niño un celular en vez de un cuaderno o un libro esto causa muchos problemos debido a que genera falencias en el aparendizaje y concentración por que los niños se enfocan en lo artifical a pensar en otras cosas.

Se refiere a que debemos tener la disposición y la motivación para iniciar nuevas ideas, proyectos o acciones sin esperar a que otros te digan qué hacer. Implica ser proactivo y estar dispuesto a tomar la iniciativa para explorar nuevas posibilidades, experimentar con diferentes enfoques y buscar soluciones innovadoras.

Este texto nos menciona el que debemos incentivar la práctica de hablar, ya que así se mejora la claridad y precisión en la pronunciación de palabras y al igual a eso se aprende a apreciar y disfrutar los sonidos y ritmos de cada de las palabras que estamos aprendiendo.

Este texto menciona que el escribir es un acto de comunicación que debe ser planeado y por lo tanto antes de empezar a escribir, el escritor necesita pasar por una fase previa en la que organiza y estructura la información que quiere comunicar.

Este documento es muy interesante por que nos hace reflexionar y a su vez entender sobre la escritura en el aula de igual manera nos hacer ver como el ser humano es capaz de trasmitir emociones y sentimientos atravez de una escritura de hecho como es capaz de compartir sus pensamientos en una simple o compleja escritura es más si hoy en día lo replicaramos como en la antiguedad es más esta lectura nos caer en cuenta de tan importante que es fomentar la escritura creativa en los alumnos sobre todo nos ayuda a nosotros que vamos ha ser futuros maestros y as u vez nos reclaca lo negativo y positvo de las tecnologias o TICS en la educación pero a su expresando y proponiendo métodos efectivos para fomentar la escritura creatividad, partiendo de lo simple a lo complejo y permitiendo a los estudiantes escribir desde sus intereses pero sobre todo destacar que no debería ser por obligación sino por placer, por gusto por que les nace y les apasiona o como forma de expresar ,desahorgarse ante alguna situación .esto ayuda a cambiar el enfoque educativo hacia la creatividad e imaginación. El objetivo de nosotros como futuros docentes es transformar la educación y motivar a los estudiantes o alumn@s a disfrutar del proceso de escritura como una manera de desahogarse o expresar su vida no como una obligación por una nota si un simple placer por escribir y brindar información que para otros podria ser una salvación.

Acerca de este texto trata de decir que la escritura es considerada como una herramienta donde podemos expresar ideas, pensamientos, sentimientos o la información y debido esto es que nos podemos comunicar con otros. Debido a esto la escritura no debe ser vista únicamente como una actividad que se realiza por si misma, en tanto se puede decir que la escritura su principal objetivo es transmitir algo significativo y conectar con los demás.

Es tan real esto porque aveces solemos tomar un fracaso como un fin y no debe de ser asi de hecho los fracasos debe ser fomas de valentia para mejorar día a día de igual manera seria una oportunidad de seguir intentando algo hasta lograrlo esto nos ayuda a generar autoconfianza para no rendirnos sino para transformar los errores a aprendizajes para mejorar algo que se esta construyendo para así llegarlo a cumplir como una meta un logro de vida porque cada error tiene una enseñanza de vida.

La escritura es vital para la expresión y comunicación, pero muchos estudiantes son dejados al escribir en la escuela, el enfoque tradicional, centrado en memorizar reglas, no fomenta la creatividad, fomentar la escritura creativa desarrolla la invención y el pensamiento crítico, esenciales para el crecimiento personal ,los docentes necesitan recursos y metodologías, como blogs con estrategias prácticas, para enriquecer la experiencia de escritura en el aula también la escritura creativa es clave para formar comunicadores competentes, y es responsabilidad de los docentes hacerla significativa este seria mi comentario sobre el texto ya que lo que mas me llamo fue la creatividad en relación con la escritura y su importancia en esta.

El texto habla de la importancia de fomentar una escritura que vaya más allá de lo "formal", se habla de que la escritura debe ser libre para así provocar que los estudiantes generen ese gusto por escribir, que sean más imaginativos y creativos. Promover una escritura creativa.

yo creo que la escritura es fundamental para la comunicación human ya que nos permite no solo compartir ideas y conocimientos, sino también explorar y entender nuestras emociones compartirlas con alguien mas y hacer saber al resto como nos sentimos, a través de la escritura, podemos construir puentes con otros y dejar un legado que trasciende el tiempo ya que como nos dice esto jamás pasara de moda por que se a mantenido durante años, la escritura es un medio que nos ayuda a reflexionar y a conectar con el mundo.

La escritura creativa busca generar nuevas ideas, textos originales que pueden verse relacionadas con la poesía, la novela, el ensayo y otros textos que requieren de un pensamiento creativo.

La escritura tiene muchas funciones, la utilizamos en nuestro día al registrar direcciones, al hacer un resumen, al escribir un ensayo; al enviar un mensaje a alguien...Tiene demasiadas funciones que son esenciales en la sociedad actual y en toda la historia ya que prácticamente registra la historia.

En las ideas que plasma Álvarez, me doy cuenta de que la escritura creativa es un proceso artístico complejo que va más allá de la simple redacción. Reconozco que el desafío que implica transformar pensamientos y emociones abstractas en palabras concretas, especialmente ante la intimidante página en blanco. Me llamo mucho la atención que este acto de narración se considere un arte, ya que se eleva la escritura creativa a un nivel que trasciende la comunicación y abarca la expresión multidimensional en las ideas, sentimientos y experiencias personales.

Corrales (2001) explica que leer y escribir son habilidades importantes porque nos ayudan a entender el mundo y hablar sobre él, desde mi punto de vista esto es muy útil para mejorar nuestra escritura creativa, leer nos muestra diferentes formas de pensar y escribir, mientras que escribir nos permite expresar nuestras propias ideas sentimientos abriendo esa puerta para poder dar nuestra opinión o lo que nosotros creemos de algo, juntas, la lectura y la escritura nos ayudan a ser más creativos y pensar de manera crítica logrando que un día seamos los que con nuestra forma de pensar y expresarnos cambiemos el mundo en el que vivimos .

La creatividad es esencial para que los estudiantes vayan más allá de las expectativas y escriban textos que superan los estándares de la educación.

Este párrafo me intereso mucho ya que la importancia de su enfoque práctico en las Nuevas Tecnologías, considero que es acertado por su relevancia en el entorno actual del alumnado y su creciente presencia en el sistema educativo. Valoro positivamente esta consideración del contexto tecnológico de los estudiantes, ya que puede aumentar su interés y motivación. Sin embargo, tengo varias cuestiones sobre los desafíos que esta integración tecnológica puede suponer, como la formación del profesorado o la posible brecha digital entre estudiantes. A pesar de estos retos, veo en este enfoque una oportunidad para desarrollar formas de enseñanza y aprendizaje más dinámicas e interactivas, lo cual me parece una evolución necesaria en el ámbito educativo actual.

Estoy completamente de acuerdo con la afirmación esta afirmación, desarrollar el hábito de escribir regularmente es esencial para mejorar nuestras habilidades, la práctica constante nos permite encontrar nuestra voz y estilo, y cada texto es una oportunidad para aprender, hacer de la escritura un hábito diario es clave para perfeccionar este oficio.

Del texto que esta presente destaca como la escritura terapéutica como una herramienta poderosa para la expresión y comprensión emocional y explica cómo la escritura puede ser útil tanto en terapia como en el desarrollo personal. Además, menciona que escribir en días buenos puede proporcionar apoyo emocional en momentos difíciles la escritura no requiere habilidades literarias, sino una auténtica expresión de sentimientos.

Me identifico profundamente con esto. La idea de hablar cara a cara con un terapeuta puede ser un poco incomodo, expresar mis sentimientos verbalmente se vuelve casi imposible

Escribir una carta en un "día bueno" para ti mismo puede ser una herramienta poderosa. En momentos de debilidad leer palabras de apoyo y comprensión que vengan de ti mismo te ayudará a encontrar fuerza y ánimo cuando más lo necesites.

En la actualidad la mayoría de personas no encuentra formas de expresión y este método ayuda a muchos adolescentes y personas que no tengan forma de asistir a un terapeuta el texto tiene toda la razón porque va a ayudar a aquellas personas que no son capaces de expresarse a escribir sus sentimientos sus emociones mediante la escritura mediante un diario personal que les va a ayudar a sentirse mejor y sí es una muy buena terapia Y como dice ahí puede ser la más poderosa pienso aplicar este método para mí misma.

Para algunas personas, escribir es simplemente una acción para comunicarse pero para otras, la escritura es una herramienta poderosa para la comprensión emocional. Al escribir, pueden explorar sus pensamientos y sentimientos más profundos, organizar sus ideas y encontrar claridad en medio del caos emocional. Este proceso puede ser terapéutico y revelador, permitiendo a las personas conectarse con su yo interior de una manera que otras formas de expresión no pueden igualar.

Pues el texto tiene toda la razón ya que como lo menciona es súper importante que se exprese emocionalmente la persona que escribe y así logre una paz interior gracias a esta escritura terapéutica y me parece súper interesante que no tenga forma que no tenga parámetros para escribir que no sea basado en ningún reglamento sino en Cómo pensamos y en cómo nos expresamos cada una de las personas que elegimos escribir así para sanarnos emocionalmente.

Me parece muy interesante este método de utilizar la escritura terapéutica pienso que algunas personas no somos capaces de expresar nuestras emociones delante de alguien que nos quiera ayudar como un terapeuta pero si tal vez lo integramos como dice en el texto a utilizar esta escritura para ayudarnos a nosotros mismos y poder superar nuestras dificultades emocionales y también entender de un modo diferente las cosas y a las personas pienso que este método puede ayudar mucho a las futuras generaciones porque vivimos en un mundo rodeado de tecnología y es verdad que a veces no tenemos tiempo de agendar una cita con un terapeuta o a veces no nos animamos por miedo a decir que tal vez Estamos locos pero es una buena forma de ayudarnos a nosotros mismos y ayudar a las personas que nos rodean ya que si estamos nosotros mal emocionalmente también afectamos a las personas que también nos quieren implementar esta estrategia sería muy beneficioso en mi vida.

La escritura terapéutica es una herramienta poderosa que va más allá de ser solo un medio para el desarrollo personal y el bienestar emocional.

La escritura les brinda un espacio seguro y libre de juicios donde pueden plasmar sus pensamientos, emociones y experiencias de una manera que les resulte más accesible y confortable.

Como menciona el texto, se ha demostrado que la escritura terapéutica es eficaz en la recuperación de personas que enfrentan problemas de salud mental como la depresión o el trastorno de estrés postraumático, también es importante destacar que la escritura terapéutica puede ser especialmente beneficiosa para aquellas personas que encuentran dificultades para expresar sus sentimientos verbalmente, ya sea por ansiedad, angustia u otros motivos.

Este artículo trata sobre la escritura terapéutica y sus beneficios para la salud mental. Discute el uso de la escritura como herramienta para expresar emociones no expresadas o inexploradas. El autor describe el método del diario intensivo y otras formas de escritura expresiva. La escritura terapéutica puede ser útil para personas que sufren de depresión o trastorno de estrés postraumático. El artículo también menciona los beneficios de escribir cartas a uno mismo en los "días buenos" para leer en los "días malos".

Me parece muy bueno el método que se está utilizando en la actualidad de parte de los terapeutas al ofrecer sus servicios en línea a través del correo electrónico ya que la mayoría de personas no dispone del tiempo suficiente para ir presencialmente a una cita sin embargo este sistema puede proporcionar ciertas desventajas como por ejemplo: al estar comunicándose vía correo electrónico con el terapeuta donde a veces las personas no son capaces de expresar su situación emocional ni aun estando de una manera presencial con el terapeuta ni mucho menos por una plataforma virtual, evitando así al terapeuta obtener toda la información para poder ayudar.

This page should be pitches as the main resource for finding secondary datasets, not an after thought.

The link in the bullet point will likely go dead from August 1 as the checklist will become part pf the planner. I think you can coner this later.

Oh I love this idea! I think hearing questions and concerns straight from the staff is a great idea. The teachers are able to get answers quickly and ask follow up questions if needed.

Open communication between all group is vital to make the school district a positive one.

When all of the issues are able to be settled before they get to individual schools then the school and teacher are able to provide students with their education. If school districts are able to focus on academics this will entice other families to come to the school district that strives in academics.

This danger zone statement is one that will tear a county apart. The teachers will stand together and ruin the school board.

Unfortunately I have seen where individuals forget this question. I feel certain individuals have their own plan without doing what is best for the child. We need to definitely start asking this question more.

If this is how the school board and superintendent act, this is only going to filter down to staff then to students then the community. This is going to cause a lot of issues for the entire community.

This is such a powerful statement! I feel as though this should be the mentality of everyone in education.

I think professional development to board members is great idea. I was just recently thinking the school board needs to be held responsible attending PD put on school board associattions.

Unfortunately about 5 years ago this was an issue for my school district. The board of education had some members siding with the superintendent and while others were not. This made for a very toxic environment.
