Abstract
The glutathione (GSH) system is one of the most powerful intracellular antioxidant systems for the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. However, the rapid kinetics information (at the millisecond to the second level) during the dynamic antioxidation process of the GSH system remains unclear. As such, we specifically developed a novel dual-wire nanosensor (DWNS) that can selectively and synchronously measure the levels of GSH and ROS with high temporal resolution, and applied it to monitor the transient ROS generation as well as the rapid antioxidation process of the GSH system in individual cancer cells. These measurements revealed that the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the GSH system is rapidly initiated against ROS burst in a sub-second time scale, but the elimination process is short-lived, ending after a few seconds, while some ROS are still present in the cells. This study is expected to open new perspectives for understanding the GSH antioxidant system and studying some redox imbalance-related physiological.

Lysicamine Reduces Protein Kinase B (AKT) Activation and Promotes Necrosis in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1687. [PMID: 38139812 PMCID: PMC10748177 DOI: 10.3390/ph16121687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is an aggressive form of thyroid cancer (TC), accounting for 50% of total TC-related deaths. Although therapeutic approaches against TC have improved in recent years, the survival rate remains low, and severe adverse effects are commonly reported. However, unexplored alternatives based on natural compounds, such as lysicamine, an alkaloid found in plants with established cytotoxicity against breast and liver cancers, offer promise. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the antineoplastic effects of lysicamine in papillary TC (BCPAP) and ATC (HTH83 and KTC-2) cells. Lysicamine treatment reduced cell viability, motility, colony formation, and AKT activation while increasing the percentage of necrotic cells. The absence of caspase activity confirmed apoptosis-independent cell death. Necrostatin-1 (NEC-1)-mediated necrosome inhibition reduced lysicamine-induced necrosis in KTC-2, suggesting necroptosis induction via a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-independent mechanism. Additionally, in silico analysis predicted lysicamine target proteins, particularly those related to MAPK and TGF-β signaling. Our study demonstrated lysicamine's potential as an antineoplastic compound in ATC cells with a proposed mechanism related to inhibiting AKT activation and inducing cell death.

Combined effects of dietary carbohydrate levels and ammonia stress on growth, antioxidant capacity and glucose metabolism in juvenile oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense). JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY. PART A, ECOLOGICAL AND INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 339:978-993.

Abstract
Ammonia is a common environmental stress factor that constrains aquaculture industry development. This study evaluated the effect of carbohydrate levels and ammonia stress in oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense). The experiment had six treatments containing two water ammonia levels (0 and 5 mg/L) and three dietary carbohydrate levels (low carbohydrate diet (LCD, 10%), medium carbohydrate diet [MCD, 20%], and high carbohydrate diet [HCD, 30%]), and lasted six weeks. The results showed that the prawns fed on MCD had higher weight gain than those fed on LCD and HCD during ammonia stress. Moreover, the prawns fed on MCD had significantly lower acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities during ammonia stress. Feeding the prawns on the MCD increased B cells in the hepatopancreas during ammonia stress. Interestingly, the prawns fed on MCD had significantly lower superoxide dismutase activity compared to LCD and HCD during ammonia stress. Moreover, the prawns fed on MCD had significantly lower pyruvate kinase activity and pyruvate and lactic acid contents, while those fed on LCD had significantly higher succinic dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase, and phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase activities during ammonia stress. The prawns fed on the MCD increased significantly glutaminase activity and decreased the ammonia content in the serum during ammonia exposure. In addition, feeding the prawns on MCD decreased significantly the expression of apoptosis and inflammation-related genes. Taken together, the MCD supplied energy required to counteract ammonia stress, which increased growth, improved antioxidant capacity, facilitated ammonia excretion, and alleviated inflammation and apoptosis of the oriental river prawn.

Abstract
Lycopene is a carotenoid widely used for its dominant antioxidant properties and beneficial health effects. Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) have gained attention for use in many medicinal and consumer products, leading to animal, human, and environmental exposure. This study investigated the dose-dependent effects of lycopene on AgNP-induced hepatotoxicity in albino mice. The four experimental groups, comprising eight albino mice each, were as follows: Group I, vehicle control (C); Group II, AgNP-treated (5 mg/kg/day) (AgNP); Group III, AgNP/lycopene-treated (5 + 10 mg/kg/day) (AgNP + LP10); and Group IV, AgNP/lycopene-treated (5 + 100 mg/kg/day) (AgNP + LP100). All solutions were orally administered to the mice once in a day for consecutive 14 days. The levels of serum aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin were significantly higher in the AgNP-treated group than in the control group but significantly lower in the AgNP + LP100 group than in the AgNP-treated group. A significant decrease in reduced glutathione level and superoxide dismutase activity and an increase in lipid peroxidation were observed in the AgNP-treated group; these were significantly suppressed in the AgNP+LP100 as compared to AgNP-treated group. Histopathological examination showed substantial morphological alterations in hepatic tissues in the AgNP, which were adequately improved in the low and high dose lycopene-treated groups. The dose of 100 mg/kg/day of lycopene was more effective than 10 mg/kg/day, as pretreatment with high dose lycopene significantly diminished the adverse changes occurred due to AgNP in liver weight, hepatic architecture, serum functional markers, and antioxidant markers. Thus, present study shows that pretreatment with lycopene offers protection against AgNP-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the association between the dietary zinc intake and the risk of albuminuria, low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the US general population. This study was a cross-sectional study utilizing the data from the 2003-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Albuminuria was defined as urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) > 30 mg/g. Low eGFR was defined as an eGFR of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. CKD is characterized by albuminuria or low eGFR. Multivariate logistic regression analysis, subgroup analyses, interaction tests, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were performed in this study. For 37,195 enrolled participants in this study, the mean dietary zinc intake was 11.85 ± 0.07 mg/day, and the rate of albuminuria, low eGFR, and CKD was 9.37%, 6.68%, and 14.10%, respectively. Participants with a higher dietary zinc intake showed a lower risk of albuminuria, low eGFR, and CKD. In the fully adjusted model, we found that participants in the highest dietary zinc intake quartile had 26% lower odds of the rate of CKD than those in quartile 1. Subgroup analyses showed that dietary zinc intake was positively associated with the risk of low eGFR in participants who were now smokers. The potential nonlinear relationship between dietary zinc intake and the risk of CKD and albuminuria was also revealed. Higher dietary zinc intake was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of CKD, which might be helpful in kidney function protection among the general population.

Abstract
This study aimed to expand knowledge on lumpfish stress physiology by investigating the effects of acute stress on primary (i.e., cortisol) and secondary (e.g., metabolites) stress responses, as well as oxidative stress biomarkers, from stress exposure to a recovery phase. The results showed that the lumpfish physiological response to 1 min air exposure is mild, in line with recent studies, and comparable to that described for white sturgeons. Cortisol seems to be the most reliable acute stress biomarker in lumpfish, with a significant increase in plasma 30 min after stress exposure, returning to resting levels 2 h after exposure. In contrast, glucose and lactate were not significantly altered by short-term air exposure. Effects on hepatic energy mobilisation were also detected following the acute stress. This study showed that acute 1 min air exposure seems tolerable, allowing a swift recovery. However, more studies on the impacts of air exposure and repeated acute stressors on lumpfish stress and immune responses are required to develop industry standards for lumpfish health and welfare monitoring.

Abstract
Many biological functions of curcumin have been reported. As certain bioactivities of curcumin are eliminated by antioxidants, reactive oxygen species generated by curcumin have been suggested as a relevant mechanism. In the present study, the effects of different types of antioxidants on the stability and bioactivities of curcumin were analyzed. High concentrations (>4 mM) of thiol antioxidants, including N-acetylcysteine (NAC), glutathione (GSH), and β-mercaptoethanol, accelerated the decomposition of curcumin and other curcuminoids; the submillimolar levels (<0.5 mM) of GSH and NAC rather improved their stability. Ascorbic acid or superoxide dismutase also stabilized curcumin, regardless of their concentration. The cellular levels and bioactivities of curcumin, including its cytotoxicity and the induction of heme oxygenase-1, were significantly reduced in the presence of 8 mM of GSH and NAC. The effects were enhanced in the presence of submillilmolar GSH and NAC, or non-thiol antioxidants. The present results indicate that antioxidants with a reduced thiol group could directly interact with the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety of curcuminoids and modulate their stability and bioactivity.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening pulmonary condition characterized by the sudden onset of respiratory failure, pulmonary edema, dysfunction of endothelial and epithelial barriers, and the activation of inflammatory cascades. Despite the increasing number of deaths attributed to ARDS, a comprehensive therapeutic approach for managing patients with ARDS remains elusive. To elucidate the pathological mechanisms underlying ARDS, numerous studies have employed various preclinical models, often utilizing lipopolysaccharide as the ARDS inducer. Accumulating evidence emphasizes the pivotal role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the pathophysiology of ARDS. Both preclinical and clinical investigations have asserted the potential of antioxidants in ameliorating ARDS. This review focuses on various sources of ROS, including NADPH oxidase, uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase, cytochrome P450, and xanthine oxidase, and provides a comprehensive overview of their roles in ARDS. Additionally, we discuss the potential of using antioxidants as a strategy for treating ARDS.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is implicated in numerous diseases, with benzo(α)pyrene (BaP) known for causing substantial oxidative damage. Bifidobacterium longum (B. longum) is recognized as an antioxidant bacterium for certain hosts, yet its influence on oxidative damages instigated by BaP remains undetermined. In our study, we introduced various strains of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) to BaP to trigger oxidative stress, subsequently treating them with different forms of B. longum to evaluate its protective effects. Additionally, we explored the role of daf-16 in this context. Our findings indicated that in wild-type N2 C. elegans, B. longum-even in the form of inactivated bacteria or bacterial ultrasonic lysates (BULs)-significantly extended lifespan. BaP exposure notably decreased lifespan, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and motility, while simultaneously down-regulating the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-associated genes (sod-3, sek-1, cat-1) and daf-16 downstream genes (sod-3, ctl-2). However, it significantly increased the ROS level, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and lipofuscin accumulation and up-regulated another daf-16 downstream gene (clk-1) (P <0.05). Interestingly, when further treated with B. longum peptide-1 (BLP-1), opposite effects were observed, and all the aforementioned indices changed significantly. In the case of RNAi (daf-16) C. elegans, BaP exposure significantly shortened the lifespan (P <0.05), which was only slightly prolonged upon further treatment with BLP-1. Furthermore, the expression of daf-16 downstream genes showed minor alterations in RNAi C. elegans upon treatment with either BaP or BLP-1. In conclusion, our findings suggest that B. longum acts as a probiotic for C. elegans. BLP-1 was shown to safeguard C. elegans from numerous oxidative damages induced by BaP, but these protective effects were contingent upon the daf-16 gene.

Abstract
The influence of modern lifestyle, diet, exposure to chemicals such as phytosanitary substances, together with sedentary lifestyles and lack of exercise play an important role in inducing reactive stress (RS) and disease. The imbalance in the production and scavenging of free radicals and the induction of RS (oxidative, nitrosative, and halogenative) plays an essential role in the etiology of various chronic pathologies, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. The implication of free radicals and reactive species injury in metabolic disturbances and the onset of many diseases have been accumulating for several decades, and are now accepted as a major cause of many chronic diseases. Exposure to elevated levels of free radicals can cause molecular structural impact on proteins, lipids, and DNA, as well as functional alteration of enzyme homeostasis, leading to aberrations in gene expression. Endogenous depletion of antioxidant enzymes can be mitigated using exogenous antioxidants. The current interest in the use of exogenous antioxidants as adjunctive agents for the treatment of human diseases allows a better understanding of these diseases, facilitating the development of new therapeutic agents with antioxidant activity to improve the treatment of various diseases. Here we examine the role that RS play in the initiation of disease and in the reactivity of free radicals and RS in organic and inorganic cellular components.

Abstract
The Nuclear factor Erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is the most important endogenous antioxidant factor in organisms, and it has been demonstrated that it exerts extensive control over the immune response by interacting with crucial innate immunity components directly or indirectly. Although Nrf2 has been widely confirmed to be involved in stress resistance in mammals and some fish, its contribution to mollusks oxidative stress resistance has not frequently been documented. In this investigation, total RNA was taken from the digestive gland of M. coruscus, and a cDNA library was constructed and screened using the GATEWAY recombination technology. The Nrf2 cDNA sequence of M. coruscus was cloned into the pGBKT7 vector to prepare the bait plasmid. Using yeast two-hybrid system, after auxotrophic medium screening, sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis, 13 binding proteins that interacted with Nrf2 were finally identified. They were QM-like protein, 40S ribosomal protein S4 (RPS4), ribosomal protein S2 (RPS2), ribosomal protein L12 (RPL12), EF1-alpha mRNA for elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF1-alpha), ferritin, alpha-amylase, trypsin, vdg3, period clock protein, cyclophilin A isoform 1 (CYP A), serine protease CFSP2, histone variant H2A.Z (H2A.Z). For a better understanding the physiological function of Nrf2 in animals and as a potential target for future research on protein roles in Nrf2 interactions, it is crucial to clarify these protein interactions.

Abstract
Plants are an inexhaustible source of bioactive compounds beneficial for contrasting oxidative stress, leading to many degenerative pathologies. Brassica rapa L. subsp. rapa is well known for its nutraceutical properties among edible vegetable species. In our work, we aimed to explore an eco-friendly way to enhance the beneficial dietary phytochemicals in this vast world of crop-growing plants at selected light quality conditions. White broad-spectrum (W) and red-blue (RB) light regimes were used for growing brassica microgreens. The organic extracts were tested on keratinocytes upon oxidative stress to explore their capability to act as natural antioxidant cell protectors. Our results show that both W and RB extracts caused a notable reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels induced by H2O2. Interestingly, according to its higher contents of polyphenols and flavonoids, the RB was more efficient in reducing ROS amount and DNA damage than the W extract, particularly at the lowest concentration tested. However, at higher concentrations (up to 100 μg/mL), the antioxidant effect reached a plateau, and there was little added benefit. These findings confirm that RB light effectively increases the antioxidant compounds in Brassica rapa L. microgreens, thus contributing to their enhanced activity against oxidative-induced genotoxicity compared to microgreens grown under W light.

Abstract
Despite the growing concern over nanoplastics' (NPls) environmental impacts, their long-term effects on terrestrial organisms remain poorly understood. The main aim of this study was to assess how NPls exposure impacts both the parental (F1) and subsequent generations (F2 and F3) of the soil-dwelling species Folsomia candida. After a standard exposure (28 days), we conducted a multigenerational study along three generations (84 days), applying polystyrene nanoparticles (PS NPs; diameter of 44 nm) as representatives of NPls. Endpoints from biochemical to individual levels were assessed. The standard test: PS NPs (0.015 to 900 mg/kg) had no effect in F. candida survival or reproduction. The multigenerational test: PS NPs (1.5 and 300 mg/kg) induced no effects on F. candida survival and reproduction along the three generations (F1 to F3). PS NPs induced no effects in catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferases, and acetylcholinesterase activities for the juveniles of the F1 to F3. Oxidative damage through lipid peroxidation was detected in the offspring of F1 but not in the juveniles of F2 and F3. Our findings underscore the importance of evaluating multigenerational effects to gain comprehensive insights into the contaminants long-term impact, particularly when organisms are continuously exposed, as is the case with NPls.

Effects of the real-life metal(oid)s mixture on female reproductive function: Less is different. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 895:165181.

Abstract
The current study aimed to examine the effect of toxic metal(oid) mixtures (lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni)) on female reproductive function in Wistar rats after the 28- and 90-day exposure to dose levels calculated on the basis of the previously conducted human study. Experimental groups included: 2 controls (28- and 90-day), treated groups - doses based on: median- F2 (28) and F2(90) and 95th percentile concentrations in the general human population - F3(28) and F3(90); calculated lower Benchmark dose confidence limit (BMDL) for effects on hormone levels - F1(28) and F1(90) and a group given the doses calculated on the basis of the reference values from the literature (F4(28)). Blood and ovarian samples were collected for sex hormones and ovary redox status analysis. After 28-day exposure, changes were present both in prooxidants and antioxidants. However, after the 90-day exposure redox status imbalance was majorly caused by the disturbance of antioxidants. Changes in some parameters were observed even after exposure to the lowest doses. After 28-day exposure, the strongest dose-response relationship was found between hormones: LH and FSH and toxic metal(oid)s and, after 90-day exposure, between investigated redox status parameters: sulfhydryl groups, ischemia-modified albumin and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and toxic metal(oid)s. Low obtained BMDLs and narrow Benchmark intervals for toxic metal(oid)s and some of the parameters might confirm the "no-threshold" paradigm. This study indicates possible detrimental effects of prolonged exposure to real-life mixtures of toxic metal(oid) on female reproductive function.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a common plastic additive, has been demonstrated mechanistically to be a potential endocrine disruptor and to affect a variety of body functions in organisms. Although previous research has shown that BPA is toxic to aquatic organisms, the mechanism of neurotoxic effects in marine bivalves remains unknown. The current study aimed to elucidate the neurotoxic effects of BPA when administered at different concentrations (0.25, 1, 2, and 5 µg/L) for twenty-eight days in the ganglia of a bivalve model, the Mediterranean mussel (Lithophaga lithophaga), which is an ecologically and economically important human food source of bivalve species in the Mediterranean Sea. Our findings revealed an increase in behavioural disturbances and malondialdehyde levels in treated mussel ganglia compared to the control group. Furthermore, superoxide dismutase activity increased in the ganglia of L. lithophaga treated with 0.25 and 2 µg/L. However, at BPA concentrations of 1 and 5 µg/L, SOD activity was significantly reduced, as was total glutathione concentration. BPA causes neurotoxicity, as evidenced by concentration-dependent inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, dopamine, and serotonin. After chronic exposure to BPA, neurons showed distortion of the neuronal cell body and varying degrees of pyknosis. The ultrastructure changes in BPA-treated groups revealed the lightening of the nucleoplasm and a shrunken nuclear envelope. Overall, our findings suggest that BPA exposure altered antioxidation, neurochemical biomarkers, histopathological, and ultrastructural properties, resulting in behavioural changes. As a result, our findings provide a basis for further study into the toxicity of BPA in marine bivalves.

Abstract
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a representative species of cold-water fish. Elevated temperatures during summer often result in significant high mortality rates. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are class of small non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role as post-transcriptional regulators in various biological processes. Emerging evidence suggests that miRNAs are important regulators role during heat stress. Analyzing previously obtained miRNA-sequencing data, we observed substantial down regulation of miR-8159-x in the liver tissue of heat stressed rainbow trout. In this study, we conducted a dual luciferase reporter assay to validate that miR-8159-x target, a key gene involved in heat stress in rainbow trout. By examining the expression patterns of miR-8159-x and hsp90a1 in the liver tissue at 18 °C (CG) and 24 °C (HS) groups, we propose that miR-8159-x may negatively regulate hsp90a1. Furthermore, in vitro hepatocyte assay, transfection with miR-8159-x mimics significantly reduced the expression level of hsp90a1, whereas transfection with a miR-8159-x inhibitor yielded the opposite effect. Additionally, overexpression of miR-8159-x inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in normal rainbow trout hepatocytes. We further investigated the effects of miR-8159-x overexpression or inhibition on the mRNA and protein levels of the target gene hsp90a1 under heat stress conditions. In conclusion, our findings suggest that miR-8159-x participates in the biological response to heat stress by targeting hsp90a1. These results contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying heat stress in rainbow trout and provide valuable insights for future research.

Abstract
The coffee pulp, a by-product of the coffee industry, contains a high concentration of phenolic compounds and caffeine. Simulated gastrointestinal digestion may influence these active compounds' bioaccessibility, bioavailability, and bioactivity. Understanding the impact of the digestive metabolism on the coffee pulp's phenolic composition and its effect on cellular oxidative stress biomarkers is essential. In this study, we evaluated the influence of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of the coffee pulp flour (CPF) and extract (CPE) on their phenolic profile, radical scavenging capacity, cellular antioxidant activity, and cytoprotective properties in intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) and hepatic (HepG2) cells. The CPF and the CPE contained a high amount of caffeine and phenolic compounds, predominantly phenolic acids (3',4'-dihydroxycinnamoylquinic and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acids) and flavonoids (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone derivatives). Simulated digestion resulted in increased antioxidant capacity, and both the CPF and the CPE demonstrated free radical scavenging abilities even after in vitro digestion. The CPF and the CPE did not induce cytotoxicity in intestinal and hepatic cells, and both matrices exhibited the ability to scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species. The coffee pulp treatments prevented the decrease of glutathione, thiol groups, and superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymatic activities evoked by tert-butyl hydroperoxide elicitation in IEC-6 and HepG2 cells. Our findings suggest that the coffee pulp could be used as a potent food ingredient for preventing cellular oxidative stress due to its high content of antioxidant compounds.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion syndrome and its effect on the cardiovascular system: The role of treprostinil, a synthetic prostacyclin analog. World J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 15:1858-1870. [PMID: 37901735 PMCID: PMC10600776 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v15.i9.1858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion syndrome has been the subject of intensive study and experimentation in recent decades since it is responsible for the outcome of several clinical entities, such as major hepatic resections and liver transplantation. In addition to the organ's post reperfusion injury, this syndrome appears to play a central role in the dysfunction of distant tissues and systems. Thus, continuous research should be directed toward finding effective therapeutic options to improve the outcome and reduce the postoperative morbidity and mortality rates. Treprostinil is a synthetic analog of prostaglandin I2, and its experimental administration has shown encouraging results. It has already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States for pulmonary arterial hypertension and has been used in liver transplantation, where preliminary encouraging results showed its safety and feasibility by using continuous intravenous administration at a dose of 5 ng/kg/min. Treprostinil improves renal and hepatic function, diminishes hepatic oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, reduces hepatictoll-like receptor 9 and inflammation, inhibits hepatic apoptosis and restores hepatic adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and ATP synthases, which is necessary for functional maintenance of mitochondria. Treprostinil exhibits vasodilatory properties and antiplatelet activity and regulates proinflammatory cytokines; therefore, it can potentially minimize ischemia-reperfusion injury. Additionally, it may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular parameters, and much current research interest is concentrated on this compound.

Abstract
Neutrophils are innate immune cells that play a key role in pathogen clearance. They contribute to inflammatory diseases, including diabetes, by releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, and extracellular traps (NETs). NETs contain a DNA backbone and catalytically active myeloperoxidase (MPO), which produces hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Chlorination of the DNA nucleoside 8-chloro-deoxyguanosine has been reported as an early marker of inflammation in diabetes. In this study, we examined the reactivity of different chlorinated nucleosides, including 5-chloro-(deoxy)cytidine (5ClC, 5CldC), 8-chloro-(deoxy)adenosine (8ClA, 8CldA) and 8-chloro-(deoxy)guanosine (8ClG, 8CldG), with the INS-1E β-cell line. Exposure of INS-1E cells to 5CldC, 8CldA, 8ClA, and 8CldG decreased metabolic activity and intracellular ATP, and, together with 8ClG, induced apoptotic cell death. Exposure to 8ClA, but not the other nucleosides, resulted in sustained endoplasmic reticulum stress, activation of the unfolded protein response, and increased expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Exposure of INS-1E cells to 5CldC also increased TXNIP and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 (NQO1) expression. In addition, a significant increase in the mRNA expression of NQO1 and GPx4 was seen in INS-1E cells exposed to 8ClG and 8CldA, respectively. However, a significant decrease in intracellular thiols was only observed in INS-1E cells exposed to 8ClG and 8CldG. Finally, a significant decrease in the insulin stimulation index was observed in experiments with all the chlorinated nucleosides, except for 8ClA and 8ClG. Together, these results suggest that increased formation of chlorinated nucleosides during inflammation in diabetes could influence β-cell function and may contribute to disease progression.

Abstract
Citrus is a globally popular fruit crop that contains bioactive compounds with numerous health benefits. Carotenoids are one of the main bioactive compounds present in citrus pulp. They possess exceptional antioxidant and anticancer properties, making them potentially effective in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Different citrus species, identified as ZMPG, DFGJ, NFMJ, XY, and ZHQC, were studied for their antioxidant activity and anticancer activity. XY had the highest total carotenoid content (75.30 µg/g FW), and ZHQC (ZH) had the lowest carotenoid content (19.74 µg/g FW). The composition of NFMJ, ZMPG, and DFHJ consisted of the most abundant number of carotenoids, while XY only had three types. The antioxidant capacity of the carotenoid extracts was evaluated, and ZH and DFHJ were identified as good sources of antioxidants. XY and ZH significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and arresting cells during the G0/G1 phase. XY and ZH enhanced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS); reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP); reduced the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), and peroxidase (POD); decreased glutathione (GSH) levels; and increased the malonaldehyde (MDA) content. Apoptosis occurred through the mitochondrial-mediated pathway through the up-regulation of BAX, caspase-3, and caspase-9 and the down-regulation of Bcl-2. In this study, the carotenoid-rich extracts of citrus pulp were found to induce oxidative stress through their pro-oxidant potential and regulate cell apoptosis in MCF-7 cancer cells. These results indicate that citrus carotenoids act as pro-oxidants and have the potential to be utilized for the development of anti-breast cancer products.

Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) of chickens is an acute, high-contact, lytic infectious disease caused by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). The attenuated inactivated vaccine produced by DF-1 cells is an effective control method, but the epidemic protection demands from the world poultry industry remain unfulfilled. To improve the IBDV vaccine production capacity and reduce the economic losses caused by IBDV in chicken, cellular metabolic engineering is performed on host cells. In this study, when analyzing the metabolomic after IBDV infection of DF-1 cells and the exogenous addition of reduced glutathione (GSH), we found that glutathione metabolism had an important role in the propagation of IBDV in DF-1 cells, and the glutathione synthetase gene (gss) could be a limiting regulator in glutathione metabolism. Therefore, three stable recombinant cell lines GSS-L, GSS-M, and GSS-H (gss gene overexpression with low, medium, and high mRNA levels) were screened. We found that the recombinant GSS-M cell line had the optimal regulatory effect with a 7.19 ± 0.93-fold increase in IBDV titer. We performed oxidative stress and redox status analysis on different recombinant cell lines, and found that the overexpression of gss gene significantly enhanced the ability of host cells to resist oxidative stress caused by IBDV infection. This study established a high-efficiency DF-1 cells system for IBDV vaccine production by regulating glutathione metabolism, and underscored the importance of moderate gene expression regulation on the virus reproduction providing a way for rational and precise cell engineering.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a serious complication affecting the prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction and can cause cardiac arrest, reperfusion arrhythmias, no-reflow, and irreversible myocardial cell death. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent, peroxide-driven, non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death, plays a vital role in reperfusion injury. Acetylation, an important post-translational modification, participates in many cellular signaling pathways and diseases, and plays a pivotal role in ferroptosis. Elucidating the role of acetylation in ferroptosis may therefore provide new insights for the treatment of MIRI. Here, we summarized the recently discovered knowledge about acetylation and ferroptosis in MIRI. Finally, we focused on the acetylation modification during ferroptosis and its potential relationship with MIRI.

Abstract
The ovary holds a significant role as a reproductive endocrine organ in women, and its aging process bears implications such as menopause, decreased fertility, and long-term health risks including osteoporosis, cardiovascular disorders, and cognitive decline. The phenomenon of oxidative stress is tightly linked to the aging metabolic processes. More and more studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress impacts both physiologic and pathologic ovarian aging, and the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway plays a crucial role in regulating the antioxidant response. Furthermore, various therapeutic approaches have been identified to ameliorate ovarian aging by modulating the Nrf2 pathway. This review summarizes the important role of the Nrf2/ Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) signaling pathway in regulating oxidative stress and influencing ovarian aging. Additionally, it highlights the therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing gastrointestinal (GI) disorder characterized by intestinal inflammation. The etiology of IBD is multifactorial and results from a complex interplay between mucosal immunity, environmental factors, and host genetics. Future therapeutics for GI disorders, including IBD, that are driven by oxidative stress require a greater understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the GI tract, oxidative stressors include infections and pro-inflammatory responses, which boost ROS generation by promoting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) represent two important signaling pathways in intestinal immune cells that regulate numerous physiological processes, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Natural antioxidant compounds exhibit ROS scavenging and increase antioxidant defense capacity to inhibit pro-oxidative enzymes, which may be useful in IBD treatment. In this review, we discuss various polyphenolic substances (such as resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, green tea flavonoids, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, luteolin, xanthohumol, genistein, alpinetin, proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, silymarin), phenolic compounds including thymol, alkaloids such as berberine, storage polysaccharides such as tamarind xyloglucan, and other phytochemicals represented by isothiocyanate sulforaphane and food/spices (such as ginger, flaxseed oil), as well as antioxidant hormones like melatonin that target cellular signaling pathways to reduce intestinal inflammation occurring with IBD.

Abstract
Multidomain proteins can exhibit sophisticated functions based on cooperative interactions and allosteric regulation through spatial rearrangements of the multiple domains. This study explored the potential of using multidomain proteins as a basis for Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensors, focusing on protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) as a representative example. PDI, a well-studied multidomain protein, undergoes redox-dependent conformational changes, enabling the exposure of a hydrophobic surface extending across the b' and a' domains that serves as the primary binding site for substrates. Taking advantage of the dynamic domain rearrangements of PDI, we developed FRET-based biosensors by fusing the b' and a' domains of thermophilic fungal PDI with fluorescent proteins as the FRET acceptor and donor, respectively. Both experimental and computational approaches were used to characterize FRET efficiency in different redox states. In vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrated higher FRET efficiency of this biosensor in the oxidized form, reflecting the domain rearrangement and its responsiveness to intracellular redox environments. This novel approach of exploiting redox-dependent domain dynamics in multidomain proteins offers promising opportunities for designing innovative FRET-based biosensors with potential applications in studying cellular redox regulation and beyond.

[PMID: 37627612 PMCID: PMC10451790 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12081617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanoparticle-based therapeutics are being clinically translated for treating cancer. Even when thought to be biocompatible, nanoparticles are being increasingly identified as altering cell regulation and homeostasis. Antioxidant pathways are important for maintaining cell redox homeostasis and play important roles by maintaining ROS levels within tolerable ranges. Here, we sought to understand how a model of a relatively inert nanoparticle without any therapeutic agent itself could antagonize a cancer cell lines' antioxidant mechanism. A label-free protein expression approach was used to assess the glutathione-thioredoxin antioxidative pathway in a prostate cancer cell line (PC-3) after exposure to gold nanoparticles conjugated with a targeting moiety (transferrin). The impact of the nanoparticles was also corroborated through morphological analysis with TEM and classification of pro-apoptotic cells by way of the sub-G0/G1 population via the cell cycle and annexin V apoptosis assay. After a two-hour exposure to nanoparticles, major proteins associated with the glutathione-thioredoxin antioxidant pathway were downregulated. However, this response was acute, and in terms of protein expression, cells quickly recovered within 24 h once nanoparticle exposure ceased. The impact on PRDX-family proteins appears as the most influential factor in how these nanoparticles induced an oxidative stress response in the PC-3 cells. An apparent adaptive response was observed if exposure to nanoparticles continued. Acute exposure was observed to have a detrimental effect on cell viability compared to continuously exposed cells. Nanoparticle effects on cell regulation likely provide a compounding therapeutic advantage under some circumstances, in addition to the action of any cytotoxic agents; however, any therapeutic advantage offered by nanoparticles themselves with regard to vulnerabilities specific to the glutathione-thioredoxin antioxidative pathway is highly temporal.

Abstract
Sepsis is a leading cause of in-hospital mortality resulting from a dysregulated response to infection. Novel immunomodulatory therapies targeting macrophage metabolism have emerged as an important focus for current sepsis research. However, understanding the mechanisms underlying macrophage metabolic reprogramming and how they impact immune response requires further investigation. Here, we identify macrophage-expressed Spinster homolog 2 (Spns2), a major transporter of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), as a crucial metabolic mediator that regulates inflammation through the lactate-reactive oxygen species (ROS) axis. Spns2 deficiency in macrophages significantly enhances glycolysis, thereby increasing intracellular lactate production. As a key effector, intracellular lactate promotes pro-inflammatory response by increasing ROS generation. The overactivity of the lactate-ROS axis drives lethal hyperinflammation during the early phase of sepsis. Furthermore, diminished Spns2/S1P signaling impairs the ability of macrophages to sustain an antibacterial response, leading to significant innate immunosuppression in the late stage of infection. Notably, reinforcing Spns2/S1P signaling contributes to balancing the immune response during sepsis, preventing both early hyperinflammation and later immunosuppression, making it a promising therapeutic target for sepsis.

Abstract
Isolated sulfite oxidase (ISOD) and molybdenum cofactor (MoCD) deficiencies are genetic diseases biochemically characterized by the toxic accumulation of sulfite in the tissues of patients, including the brain. Neurological dysfunction and brain abnormalities are commonly observed soon after birth, and some patients also have neuropathological alterations in the prenatal period (in utero). Thus, we investigated the effects of sulfite on redox and mitochondrial homeostasis, as well as signaling proteins in the cerebral cortex of rat pups. One-day-old Wistar rats received an intracerebroventricular administration of sulfite (0.5 µmol/g) or vehicle and were euthanized 30 min after injection. Sulfite administration decreased glutathione levels and glutathione S-transferase activity, and increased heme oxygenase-1 content in vivo in the cerebral cortex. Sulfite also reduced the activities of succinate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and respiratory chain complexes II and II-III. Furthermore, sulfite increased the cortical content of ERK1/2 and p38. These findings suggest that redox imbalance and bioenergetic impairment induced by sulfite in the brain are pathomechanisms that may contribute to the neuropathology of newborns with ISOD and MoCD. Sulfite disturbs antioxidant defenses, bioenergetics, and signaling pathways in the cerebral cortex of neonatal rats. CII: complex II; CII-III: complex II-III; CK: creatine kinase; GST: glutathione S-transferase; HO-1: heme oxygenase-1; SDH: succinate dehydrogenase; SO32-: sulfite.

Abstract
Background The protective effects of astragaloside IV (ASIV) on various diseases are well known, but its potential impact on radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) has remained unclear. Objective This study aimed to explore the protective mechanism of ASIV against oxidative damage caused by RIBE in LO2 cells. Methods To construct the RIBE model, the conditioned medium from HepG2 cells irradiated with radiation was transferred to nonirradiated LO2 cells. LY294002, a commonly used phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway inhibitor, was added to LO2 cells 1 h before exposing HepG2 cells to radiation. LO2 cells were then collected for analyses after RIBE exposure. Results The study found that ASIV significantly improved cell proliferation and promoted the recovery of mitochondrial membrane potential while reducing the rate of apoptosis. Western blot analyses demonstrated that ASIV upregulated B-cell lymphoma 2 and downregulated B-cell lymphoma 2-related X protein and cleaved-caspase 3. Measurement of reactive oxygen species, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and malondialdehyde levels showed that ASIV effectively restored the oxidative stress state induced by RIBE. Additionally, immunofluorescence and western blots analyses confirmed that ASIV enhanced the translocation of Nrf2 to the nucleus and activated downstream nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate: quinine oxidoreductase 1 and heme oxygenase 1. Importantly, Akt pathway inhibitor repressed ASIV-induced activation of Nrf2 and its protective effect against RIBE. Conclusion This study demonstrates that ASIV protects LO2 cells against oxidative damage caused by RIBE through activation of the Akt/Nrf2 pathway.

Abstract
In previous work, we showed that cancer cells do not depend on glycolysis for ATP production, but they do on fatty acid oxidation. However, we found some cancer cells induced cell death after glucose deprivation along with a decrease of ATP production. We investigated the different response of glucose deprivation with two types of cancer cells including glucose insensitive cancer cells (GIC) which do not change ATP levels, and glucose sensitive cancer cells (GSC) which decrease ATP production in 24 h. Glucose deprivation-induced cell death in GSC by more than twofold after 12 h and by up to tenfold after 24 h accompanied by decreased ATP production to compare to the control (cultured in glucose). Glucose deprivation decreased the levels of metabolic intermediates of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in both GSC and GIC. However, glucose deprivation increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) only in GSC, suggesting that GIC have a higher tolerance for decreased NADPH than GSC. The twofold higher ratio of reduced/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) in GIS than in GSC correlates closely with the twofold lower ROS levels under glucose starvation conditions. Treatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a precursor to the biologic antioxidant glutathione restored ATP production by 70% and reversed cell death caused by glucose deprivation in GSC. The present findings suggest that glucose deprivation-induced cancer cell death is not caused by decreased ATP levels, but rather triggered by a failure of ROS regulation by the antioxidant system. Conclusion is clear that glucose deprivation-induced cell death is independent from ATP depletion-induced cell death.

Abstract
The current study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of fenugreek seed powder against As-induced neurobehavioral and biochemical perturbations using a mouse model. Mice exposed to arsenic at 10 mg/kg body weight showed development of anxiety-like behavior and memory impairment compared to control mice in elevated plus maze and Morris water maze tests, respectively. A significantly decreased acetyl and butyrylcholinesterase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase activities and brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels were found in the brain of arsenic-exposed mice compared to control mice. Interestingly, supplementation of fenugreek seed powder to arsenic-treated mice significantly restored the activity of cholinesterase and antioxidant enzymes (e.g. superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase) as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in the brain tissue of arsenic-exposed mice. Consequently, reduced anxiety-like behavior, improved learning and memory were observed in fenugreek supplemented arsenic treated mice compared to only arsenic-exposed mice group. Thus, this study suggests that fenugreek seed powder reduces arsenic-induced neurotoxicity in mice.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease and one of the oldest known disorders. It is characterized by dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance (IR), and pancreatic cell dysfunction. Although different drugs, metformin (MET), glipizide, glimepiride, etc., have been introduced to treat type 2 DM (T2DM), these drugs are not without side effects. Scientists are now seeking natural treatments such as lifestyle modification and organic products known with limited side effects. Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomized into six groups (n = 6 per group): control, DM untreated rats, DM+orange peel extract (OPE), DM+exercise (EX), DM+OPE +EX, and DM+MET. The administration was once daily through the oral route and lasted for 28 days. EX and OPE synergistically ameliorated the diabetic-induced increase in fasting blood sugar, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA IR), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG), TC/high-density lipoprotein (HDL), TG/HDL, triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, and hepatic lactate dehydrogenase, alanine transaminase, malondialdehyde, c-reactive protein, and tumour necrosis factor α when compared with the diabetic untreated group. Also, EX+OPE blunted DM-induced decrease in serum insulin, homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-B), homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity (HOMA S), quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICK 1), HDL, total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, and hepatic glycogen. Furthermore, EX+OPE ameliorated the observed DM-induced decrease in glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT 4), expression. This study showed that OPE and EX synergistically ameliorate T2DM-induced dysglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, and down-regulation of GLUT4 expression.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of many diseases, including apparently unrelated conditions such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, osteoporosis, and tumors, but the use of conventional anti-inflammatory drugs to treat these diseases is generally not very effective given their adverse effects. In addition, some alternative anti-inflammatory medications, such as many natural compounds, have scarce solubility and stability, which are associated with low bioavailability. Therefore, encapsulation within nanoparticles (NPs) may represent an effective strategy to enhance the pharmacological properties of these bioactive molecules, and poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) NPs have been widely used because of their high biocompatibility and biodegradability and possibility to finely tune erosion time, hydrophilic/hydrophobic nature, and mechanical properties by acting on the polymer's composition and preparation technique. Many studies have been focused on the use of PLGA-NPs to deliver immunosuppressive treatments for autoimmune and allergic diseases or to elicit protective immune responses, such as in vaccination and cancer immunotherapy. By contrast, this review is focused on the use of PLGA NPs in preclinical in vivo models of other diseases in which a key role is played by chronic inflammation or unbalance between the protective and reparative phases of inflammation, with a particular focus on intestinal bowel disease; cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, osteoarticular, and ocular diseases; and wound healing.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 877:162928. [PMID: 36934948 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
Compared with the effect of a single substance on arsenic plant toxicity, the effect of coexisting pyrite and natural organic matter can better reflect actual environmental conditions. In this study, the interaction between pyrite and glutamic acid in arsenite solution was explored, the influence of pyrite and glutamic acid on arsenite plant toxicity was evaluated, and the metabolic regulation mechanism of pyrite and glutamic acid on the arsenite phytotoxic effect was clarified by metabolomics analysis. Combined pyrite and glutamic acid treatment fixed more arsenic by forming chemical bonds such as AsS, AsO, and As-O-OH in culture solution and reduced inorganic arsenic levels in plants. Compared with glutamic acid alone and pyrite alone, the combined treatment reduced the inorganic arsenic concentration in plants by 4.7 % and 40.0 %, respectively. The combined treatment limited plant ROS accumulation and maintained the leaf chlorophyll content by increasing SOD synthesis. Compared with the effect of As(III) alone, the chlorophyll content increased by 15.1-21.0 % on average under the combined treatment. The combined treatment promoted the absorption of Ca, Cu, Fe, Mo and Zn in lettuce, enhanced plant adaptation to As(III) and significantly improved plant nutritional quality. Compared with glutamic acid alone, the combined treatment increased the VC, fiber and protein contents by 128.9 %, 202.8 % and 36.7 %, respectively. Metabolomics analysis indicated that in the combined treatment group, the upregulation of tyrosine, pyruvate and N metabolism increased the plant chlorophyll content. The upregulation of S metabolism increases VC synthesis in plants and inhibits ROS accumulation, thus maintaining normal plant growth and development. The upregulation of glutathione and glycine metabolism enhances plant stress resistance. This study will provide a new way to scientifically and rationally evaluate the ecological risk of arsenic and regulate its toxicity.

Abstract
Selenocysteine is a catalytic residue at the active site of all selenoenzymes in bacteria and mammals, and it is incorporated into the polypeptide backbone by a co-translational process that relies on the recoding of a UGA termination codon into a serine/selenocysteine codon. The best-characterized selenoproteins from mammalian species and bacteria are discussed with emphasis on their biological function and catalytic mechanisms. A total of 25 genes coding for selenoproteins have been identified in the genome of mammals. Unlike the selenoenzymes of anaerobic bacteria, most mammalian selenoenzymes work as antioxidants and as redox regulators of cell metabolism and functions. Selenoprotein P contains several selenocysteine residues and serves as a selenocysteine reservoir for other selenoproteins in mammals. Although extensively studied, glutathione peroxidases are incompletely understood in terms of local and time-dependent distribution, and regulatory functions. Selenoenzymes take advantage of the nucleophilic reactivity of the selenolate form of selenocysteine. It is used with peroxides and their by-products such as disulfides and sulfoxides, but also with iodine in iodinated phenolic substrates. This results in the formation of Se-X bonds (X = O, S, N, or I) from which a selenenylsulfide intermediate is invariably produced. The initial selenolate group is then recycled by thiol addition. In bacterial glycine reductase and D-proline reductase, an unusual catalytic rupture of selenium-carbon bonds is observed. The exchange of selenium for sulfur in selenoproteins, and information obtained from model reactions, suggest that a generic advantage of selenium compared with sulfur relies on faster kinetics and better reversibility of its oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade has emerged as a significant therapeutic development in immunotherapy during the past decade. However, only a small percentage of cancer patients respond to checkpoint blockade, suggesting that a fundamental knowledge of the underlying processes of immune checkpoint receptor signaling remains elusive and that novel therapeutic medications are needed. Here, the programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1) expressing nanovesicles were developed to enhance T cell activity. Iguratimod (IGU) and Rhodium (Rh) nanoparticles (NPs) were loaded in PD-1 nanovesicles (NVs) for synergistic therapeutic antitumor effects against lung cancer and metastasis. For the first time, this study revealed that IGU exhibits an antitumor effect by inhibiting the phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and Rh-NPs provided a photothermal effect by improving reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent apoptosis in lung cancer cells. IGU-Rh-PD-1 NVs also reduced the migration ability through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway. Furthermore, IGU-Rh-PD-1 NVs reached the targeted site and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. This strategy could boost T cell performance and simultaneously possess chemotherapeutic and photothermal therapy to serve as a new combination therapy for lung cancer and potentially other aggressive cancer.

Curcumin Enhances the Anticancer Effects of Binimetinib on Melanoma Cells by Inducing Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Cell Apoptosis with Necroptosis. Ann Dermatol 2023; 35:217-228.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that MEK1/2 inhibitors, including binimetinib, significantly improve malignant melanoma (MM) patient survival. Growing evidence suggests that phytochemicals, especially curcumin, can overcome drug resistance in cancer cells through a variety of mechanisms. OBJECTIVE This study aims to examine curcumin's efficacy in vitro combined with binimetinib in human MM cells. METHODS We used 2D monolayer and 3D spheroid human epidermal melanocyte culture models, HEMn-MP (human epidermal melanocytes, neonatal, moderately pigmented), and two human MM cell lines, G361 and SK-MEL-2, to evaluate cell viability, proliferation, migration, death, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production following single therapy treatment, with either curcumin or binimetinib, or a combination of both. RESULTS Compared to MM cells treated with single therapy, those with combination therapy showed significantly decreased cell viability and increased ROS production. We observed apoptosis following both single and combination therapies. However only those who had had combination therapy had necroptosis. CONCLUSION Collectively, our data demonstrates that curcumin exerts significant synergistic anticancer effects on MM cells by inducing ROS and necroptosis when combined with binimetinib. Therefore, a strategy of adding curcumin to conventional anticancer agents holds promise for treating MM.

Abstract
Evaluation of the possible toxic effects of occupational exposure to anesthetics is of great importance, and the literature is limited in assessing the possible association between occupational exposure to anesthetics and oxidative stress and genetic damage. To contribute to the gap of knowledge in relation to cause-effect, this cohort study was the first to monitor exposure assessment and to evaluate oxidative stress, DNA damage, and gene expression (OGG1, NRF2, HO-1, and TP53) in young adult physicians occupationally exposed to the most modern halogenated anesthetics (currently the commonly used inhalational anesthetics worldwide) in addition to nitrous oxide gas during the medical residency period. Therefore, the physicians were evaluated before the beginning of the medical residency (before the exposure to anesthetics-baseline), during (1 1/2 year) and at the end (2 1/2 years) of the medical residency. Anesthetic air monitoring was performed in operating rooms without adequate ventilation/scavenging systems, and biological samples were analyzed for lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl content, primary and oxidative DNA damage, antioxidant enzymes and plasma antioxidant capacity, and expression of some key genes. The results showed induction of lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, glutathione peroxidase activity, and NRF2 and OGG1 expression up to the end of medical residency. Plasma antioxidant capacity progressively increased throughout medical residency; oxidative DNA damage levels started to increase during medical residency and were higher at the end of residency than at baseline. Protein carbonyls increased during but not at the end of medical residency compared to baseline. The antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase activity remained lower than baseline during and at the end of medical residency, and HO-1 (related to antioxidant defense) expression was downregulated at the end of medical residency. Additionally, anesthetic concentrations were above international recommendations. In conclusion, high concentrations of anesthetic in the workplace induce oxidative stress, gene expression modulation, and genotoxicity in physicians during their specialization period.

Transcriptome profile analysis of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) during seed germination reveals the drought stress-induced genes associated with energy, hormone, and phenylpropanoid pathways. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2023; 200:107750.

Abstract
Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern and Coss) is an important oil and vegetable crop frequently affected by seasonal drought stress during seed germination, which retards plant growth and causes yield loss considerably. However, the gene networks regulating responses to drought stress in leafy Indian mustard remain elusive. Here, we elucidated the underlying gene networks and pathways of drought response in leafy Indian mustard using next-generation transcriptomic techniques. Phenotypic analysis showed that the drought-tolerant leafy Indian mustard cv. 'WeiLiang' (WL) had a higher germination rate, antioxidant capacity, and better growth performance than the drought-sensitive cv. 'ShuiDong' (SD). Transcriptome analysis identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in both cultivars under drought stress during four germination time points (i.e., 0, 12, 24, and 36 h); most of which were classified as drought-responsive, seed germination, and dormancy-related genes. In the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) analyses, three main pathways (i.e., starch and sucrose metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction) were unveiled involved in response to drought stress during seed germination. Furthermore, Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified several hub genes (novel.12726, novel.1856, BjuB027900, BjuA003402, BjuA021578, BjuA005565, BjuB006596, novel.12977, and BjuA033308) associated with seed germination and drought stress in leafy Indian mustard. Taken together, these findings deepen our understanding of the gene networks for drought responses during seed germination in leafy Indian mustard and provide potential target genes for the genetic improvement of drought tolerance in this crop.

Abstract
An increase in life expectancy leads to a greater impact of chronic non-communicable diseases. This is even more remarkable in elder populations, to whom these become main determinants of health status, affecting mental and physical health, quality of life, and autonomy. Disease appearance is closely related to the levels of cellular oxidation, pointing out the importance of including foods in one's diet that can prevent oxidative stress. Previous studies and clinical data suggest that some plant-based products can slow and reduce the cellular degradation associated with aging and age-related diseases. Many plants from one family present several applications that range from the food to the pharmaceutical industry due to their characteristic flavor and scents. The Zingiberaceae family, which includes cardamom, turmeric, and ginger, has bioactive compounds with antioxidant activities. They also have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, and antiemetic activities and properties that help prevent cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. These products are abundant sources of chemical substances, such as alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and diarylheptanoids. The main bioactive compounds found in this family (cardamom, turmeric, and ginger) are 1,8-cineole, α-terpinyl acetate, β-turmerone, and α-zingiberene. The present review gathers evidence surrounding the effects of dietary intake of extracts of the Zingiberaceae family and their underlying mechanisms of action. These extracts could be an adjuvant treatment for oxidative-stress-related pathologies. However, the bioavailability of these compounds needs to be optimized, and further research is needed to determine appropriate concentrations and their antioxidant effects in the body.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ideal perioperative oxygen concentration is controversial and study results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE Current knowledge on the beneficial and adverse effects of perioperative hyperoxia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Narrative review RESULTS: Perioperative hyperoxia is unlikely to increase the incidence of atelectasis, pulmonary or cardiovascular complications or mortality. Few and small potential beneficial effects, such as reduction of surgical wound infections or postoperative nausea and vomiting have been demonstrated. According to the current state of evidence, it is recommended to avoid perioperative hyperoxia and to aim for normoxia instead.

Influences of Glyphosate Contaminations and Concentrate Feed on Performance, Blood Parameters, Blood Cell Functionality and DNA Damage Properties in Fattening Bulls. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13091499. [PMID: 37174536 PMCID: PMC10177583 DOI: 10.3390/ani13091499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Glyphosate (GLY), the active substance in non-selective herbicides, is often found in ruminant feed. The present feeding study aimed to investigate the effects of GLY-contaminated rations and different concentrate feed proportions (CFP) on the health of fattening German Holstein bulls. Bulls were grouped by low (LC) or high (HC) CFP with (GLYLC, GLYHC) or without GLY-contaminations (CONLC, CONHC) in their rations. Intakes (dry matter, water) and body weight were documented continuously lasting over an average range from 392.2 ± 60.4 kg to 541.2 ± 67.4 kg (mean ± SD). Blood samples collected at the trial's beginning, and after 7 and 15 weeks, were analyzed for hematological and clinical-chemical traits, functional properties of leukocytes, redox parameters and DNA damage. The average GLY exposures of 128.6 (GLYHC), 213.7 (GLYLC), 1.3 (CONHC) and 2.0 µg/kg body weight/d (CONLC) did not lead to GLY effects for most of the assessed parameters relating to animal health and performance. CFP and time displayed marked influences on most of the experimental parameters such as higher dry matter intake and average daily gain in HC compared with the LC groups. GLY effects were rather weak. However, the observed interactive effects between GLY and CFP and/or time occurring in an inconsistent manner are likely not reproducible. Finally, all animals remained clinically inconspicuous, which brings into question the physiological relevance of putative GLY effects.

Comparative study of the effects of cigarette smoke versus next-generation tobacco and nicotine product extracts on inflammatory biomarkers of human monocytes. Pflugers Arch 2023:10.1007/s00424-023-02809-9. [PMID: 37081240 DOI: 10.1007/s00424-023-02809-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023]
Abstract
Monocytes exhibiting a pro-inflammatory phenotype play a key role in adhesion and development of atherosclerotic plaques. As an alternative to smoking, next-generation tobacco and nicotine products (NGP) are now widely used. However, little is known about their pro-inflammatory effects on monocytes. We investigated cell viability, anti-oxidant and pro-inflammatory gene and protein expression in THP-1 monocytes after exposure to aqueous smoke extracts (AqE) of a heated tobacco product (HTP), an electronic cigarette (e-cig), a conventional cigarette (3R4F) and pure nicotine (nic). Treatment with 3R4F reduced cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, whereas exposure to alternative smoking products showed no difference to control. At the highest non-lethal dose of 3R4F (20%), the following notable mRNA expression changes were observed for 3R4F, HTP, and e-cig respectively, relative to control; HMOX1 (6-fold, < 2-fold, < 2-fold), NQO1 (3.5-fold, < 2-fold, < 2-fold), CCL2 (4-fold, 3.5-fold, 2.5-fold), IL1B (4-fold, 3-fold, < 2-fold), IL8 (5-fold, 2-fold, 2-fold), TNF (2-fold, 2-fold, < 2-fold) and ICAM1 was below the 2-fold threshold for all products. With respect to protein expression, IL1B (3-fold, < 2-fold, < 2-fold) and IL8 (3.5-fold, 2-fold, 2-fold) were elevated over the 2-fold threshold, whereas CCL2, TNF, and ICAM1 were below 2-fold expression for all products. At higher doses, greater inductions were observed with all extracts; however, NGP responses were typically lower than 3R4F. In conclusion, anti-oxidative and pro-inflammatory processes were activated by all products. NGPs overall showed lower responses relative to controls than THP-1 cells exposed to 3R4F AqE.

Abstract
Redox homeostasis refers to the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and their elimination by antioxidants. It is linked to all important cellular activities and oxidative stress is a result of imbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidant species. Oxidative stress perturbs many cellular activities, including processes that maintain the integrity of DNA. Nucleic acids are highly reactive and therefore particularly susceptible to damage. The DNA damage response detects and repairs these DNA lesions. Efficient DNA repair processes are therefore essential for maintaining cellular viability, but they decline considerably during aging. DNA damage and deficiencies in DNA repair are increasingly described in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington's disease. Furthermore, oxidative stress has long been associated with these conditions. Moreover, both redox dysregulation and DNA damage increase significantly during aging, which is the biggest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. However, the links between redox dysfunction and DNA damage, and their joint contributions to pathophysiology in these conditions, are only just emerging. This review will discuss these associations and address the increasing evidence for redox dysregulation as an important and major source of DNA damage in neurodegenerative disorders. Understanding these connections may facilitate a better understanding of disease mechanisms, and ultimately lead to the design of better therapeutic strategies based on preventing both redox dysregulation and DNA damage.

Abstract
Ginger-derived compounds are abundant sources of anticancer natural products. However, the anticancer effects of (E)-3-hydroxy-1-(4'-hydroxy-3',5'-dimethoxyphenyl)-tetradecan-6-en-5-one (3HDT) have not been examined. This study aims to assess the antiproliferation ability of 3HDT on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. 3HDT showed dose-responsive antiproliferation for TNBC cells (HCC1937 and Hs578T). Moreover, 3HDT exerted higher antiproliferation and apoptosis on TNBC cells than on normal cells (H184B5F5/M10). By examining reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial membrane potential, and glutathione, we found that 3HDT provided higher inductions for oxidative stress in TNBC cells compared with normal cells. Antiproliferation, oxidative stress, antioxidant signaling, and apoptosis were recovered by N-acetylcysteine, indicating that 3HDT preferentially induced oxidative-stress-mediated antiproliferation in TNBC cells but not in normal cells. Moreover, by examining γH2A histone family member X (γH2AX) and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, we found that 3HDT provided higher inductions for DNA damage, which was also reverted by N-acetylcysteine. In conclusion, 3HDT is an effective anticancer drug with preferential antiproliferation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and DNA damage effects on TNBC cells.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:641.

Abstract
The epigenetic regulation of gene expression is a complex and tightly regulated process that defines cellular identity and is associated with health and disease processes. Oxidative stress is capable of inducing epigenetic modifications. The transcription factor NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2) is a master regulator of cellular homeostasis, regulating genes bearing antioxidant response elements (AREs) in their promoters. Here, we report the identification of ARE sequences in the promoter regions of genes encoding several epigenetic regulatory factors, such as histone deacetylases (HDACs), DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), and proteins involved in microRNA biogenesis. In this research, we study this possibility by integrating bioinformatic, genetic, pharmacological, and molecular approaches. We found ARE sequences in the promoter regions of genes encoding several HDACs, DNMTs, and proteins involved in miRNA biogenesis. We confirmed that NRF2 regulates the production of these genes by studying NRF2-deficient cells and cells treated with dimethyl fumarate (DMF), an inducer of the NRF2 signaling pathway. In addition, we found that NRF2 could be involved in the target RNA-dependent microRNA degradation (TDMD) of miR-155-5p through its interaction with Nfe2l2 mRNA. Our data indicate that NRF2 has an epigenetic regulatory function, complementing its traditional function and expanding the regulatory dimensions that should be considered when developing NRF2-centered therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
NAD+ levels decline with age and in certain disease conditions. NAD+ precursors have been shown to stimulate NAD+ biosynthesis and ameliorate various age-associated diseases in mouse models. However, NAD+ metabolism is complicated in cancer and its role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains elusive. Here, we show that NAD+ supplement suppresses tumor metastasis in a TNBC orthotopic patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. Sirtuin1 lysine deacetylase (SIRT1) is required for the effects since SIRT1 knockdown blocks NAD+-suppressed tumor metastasis. Overexpression of SIRT1 effectively impairs the metastatic potential of TNBC. Importantly, the interaction between SIRT1 and p66Shc causes the deacetylation and functional inactivation of p66Shc, which inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Overall, we demonstrate that NAD+ supplementation executes its anti-tumor function via activating the SIRT1-p66Shc axis, which highlights the preventive and therapeutic potential of SIRT1 activators as effective interventions for TNBC.

Abstract
Excessive amounts of molybdenum (Mo) and cadmium (Cd) are toxicant, but their combined immunotoxicity are not clearly understood. To estimate united impacts of Mo and Cd on pyroptosis and autophagy by PI3K/AKT axis in duck spleens, Mo or/and Cd subchronic toxicity models of ducks were established by feeding diets with different dosages of Mo or/and Cd. Data show that Mo or/and Cd cause oxidative stress by increasing MDA concentration, and decreasing T-AOC, CAT, GSH-Px and T-SOD activities, restrain PI3K/AKT axis by decreasing PI3K, AKT, p-AKT expression levels, which evokes pyroptosis and autophagy by elevating IL-1β, IL-18 concentrations and NLRP3, Caspase-1, ASC, GSDME, GSDMA, NEK7, IL-1β, IL-18 expression levels, promoting autophagosomes, LC3 puncta, Atg5, LC3A, LC3B, LC3II/LC3I and Beclin-1 expression levels, and reducing expression levels of P62 and Dynein. Furthermore, the variations of abovementioned indexes are most pronounced in co-treated group. Overall, results reveal that Mo or/and Cd may evoke pyroptosis and autophagy by PI3K/AKT axis in duck spleens. The association of Mo and Cd exacerbates the changes.

Abstract
Mounting evidence indicates that the microbiota, the unique combination of micro-organisms residing in a specific environment, plays an essential role in the development of a wide range of human diseases, including skin cancer. Moreover, a persistent imbalance of microbial community, named dysbiosis, can also be associated with oxidative stress, a well-known emerging force involved in the pathogenesis of several human diseases, including cutaneous malignancies. Although their interplay has been somewhat suggested, the connection between microbiota, oxidative stress, and skin cancer is a largely unexplored field. In the present review, we discuss the current knowledge on these topics, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies.
