Replication data for "A Murine Model of Glioblastoma Initiating Cells and Human Brain Organoid Xenograft for Photodynamic Therapy Testing"
No full textDespite decades of research, brain tumours remain among the deadliest of all forms of cancer. As recurrence in glioblastoma is locally generated around the resection cavity, the ability of these tumours to resist almost all conventional and novel treatments relates, in part, to the unique cell-intrinsic and microenvironmental properties of neural tissues. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) relies on photo-toxic effects induced by specific molecules (photosensitisers) upon absorption of photons from a light source. Such toxic effects are not specific to a particular molecular fingerprint of GBM, but rather depend on selective accumulation of the photosensitiser inside tumour cells and their sensitivity to the effects, triggered by light. Here we report four new GICs obtained in Hospital Clinic Barcelona, HCB-GICs, to optimize preclinical studies of PDT, and to explore neoadjuvant protocols for a more effective PDT and photodiagnostic visualization. HCB-GIC cells express the known “stemness” markers Nestin and SOX2, Vimentin and CD44, contributing to invasiveness and to infiltrative ability within brain organoids, properties associated also to mesenchymal phenotype. HCB-GICs are susceptible to be treated with PDT, since the burden of cells into organoids decreased while increased cell death after irradiation. Moreover, we optimize an experimental in vivo model, able to assess the antitumoral effect of 5-ALA mediated PDT in engraftments of HCB-GICs co-cultures on the kidneys of high immunosupressed mice. In conclusion, we suggest that PDT might be an effective therapy to kill GICs with heterogeneous molecular fingerprint that achieve high levels of PPIX accumulation in tumor niche

Participatory Budgeting in Catalonia through the Decidim Platform
No full textThese data contain two different datasets of the project ‘Citizen evaluation of participatory budgets in Catalonia: satisfaction, problems and effects on political trust and legitimacy’ (DEMOC 2023 EXI/100/22/000007) funded by the Direcció General de Bon Govern, Innovació i Qualitat Democràtiques -Generalitat de Catalunya-. This work was also funded by the Departament de Recerca i Universitats through the support for consolidated research groups (2021 SGR 01397). The project has been carried out by members of the CNSC and GADE research groups of the Open University of Catalonia (UOC).
The research has focused on potential measures to evaluate participatory budgeting and understand the success and institutionalisation of these initiatives, with a focus on the construction of an unpublished database on participatory budgets in Catalonia to explore the explanatory factors of continuity and abandonment and, in particular, the effect of the political context and changes in local government. The first dataset, the 'Participatory Budgeting in Catalonia through the Decidim Platform: Municipalities' Mandates Dataset' (A1 English version, and A2 Catalan version) groups together different variables to examine the continuity of participatory budgeting programmes by municipalities that use the Decidim platform. The dataset is structured around political mandates (2015–2019, 2019–2023, 2023–2027) of municipalities with longitudinal data. The structure of the codebook proceeds as follows in three sections:
1. The first group of variables gathers different information about adoption, continuity, abandonment, and precedent experience of implementation in the municipalities. All these sections have been tagged manually between two data collectors, as it is also part of the ‘Participatory Budgeting in Catalonia through the Decidim Platform.
2. The second group includes different variables regarding the political context of the municipalities across the mandates, from open data sources of the Catalan and Spanish governments and official statistics. All these sections have been developed with data from public statistical records and official open data.
3. The third group contains different variables about the internal procedural features of the implementation of PB programmes in each municipality. Future updates of this dataset will expand this section. This last group, with some 'wrangling' adjustments, can be enriched by the vast number of variables available in the second dataset.
The second dataset, Participatory Budgeting in Catalonia through the Decidim Platform: Participatory Budgeting -PB- Processes Dataset (B1 English version and B2 Catalan version), aims to classify and typologize the different characteristics of participatory budgeting processes based on their initiation and implementation. It is structured around processes, with each unit of analysis representing a participatory budgeting initiative implemented through the Decidim between 2016 and 2025. The structure of the codebook proceeds along 7 groups of variables that categorize different phases of implementation:
1. From the preliminary group to the second group, the dataset gathers various initial characteristics and contextual factors that shape the initiative’s impulse, as well as organizational features and design decisions.
2. From the third to the fifth group, it includes elements of the proposal phase, characteristics of the workshop processes, and features related to the filtering and prioritization of proposals.
3. From the sixth to the seventh group, it covers aspects of the voting phase, along with features related to project monitoring and process evaluation. Furthermore, a final set of supplementary factors is included to facilitate data organization and integration with the ‘Participatory Budgeting in Catalonia through the Decidim Platform: Municipalities’ Mandate Dataset’

Replication Data for: Extracellular vesicles from Escherichia coli strains of the gut microbiota trigger hepatic antioxidant and anti-lipogenic effects via the gut-liver axis in health neonatal rats
No full textExperimental data related to the study analyzing the effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from probiotic and commensal E. coli strains on liver function via the gut-liver axis. The study includes results from an in vivo model of neonatal rats and from HepG2 cells. In the in vivo model, neonatal rats received daily by oral gavage EVs from the probiotic EcN and the commensal EcoR12 from day 2 to day16 of life. Plasma and liver samples were collected on days 8 and 16 for analysis. The impact of the interventions on intestinal permeability was assessd by measuring plasma zonulin levels. The presence of EVs in the liver was confirmed by immunoblot detection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and outer membrane protein A (OmpA). The effects of adminstered EVs on liver function were evaluated by analyzing the expression of genes related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism using RT-qPCR analysis . The modulatory effects observed in vivo were further validated in vitro by direct stimulation of HepG2 cells with EVs
