Iron(III)-salophene catalyzes redox cycles that induce phospholipid peroxidation and deplete cancer cells of ferroptosis-protecting cofactors. Redox Biol 2024; 75:103257. [PMID: 38955113 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103257] [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: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Ferroptosis, a lipid peroxidation-driven cell death program kept in check by glutathione peroxidase 4 and endogenous redox cycles, promises access to novel strategies for treating therapy-resistant cancers. Chlorido [N,N'-disalicylidene-1,2-phenylenediamine]iron (III) complexes (SCs) have potent anti-cancer properties by inducing ferroptosis, apoptosis, or necroptosis through still poorly understood molecular mechanisms. Here, we show that SCs preferentially induce ferroptosis over other cell death programs in triple-negative breast cancer cells (LC50 ≥ 0.07 μM) and are particularly effective against cell lines with acquired invasiveness, chemo- or radioresistance. Redox lipidomics reveals that initiation of cell death is associated with extensive (hydroper)oxidation of arachidonic acid and adrenic acid in membrane phospholipids, specifically phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylinositols, with SCs outperforming established ferroptosis inducers. Mechanistically, SCs effectively catalyze one-electron transfer reactions, likely via a redox cycle involving the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) species and reversible formation of oxo-bridged dimeric complexes, as supported by cyclic voltammetry. As a result, SCs can use hydrogen peroxide to generate organic radicals but not hydroxyl radicals and oxidize membrane phospholipids and (membrane-)protective factors such as NADPH, which is depleted from cells. We conclude that SCs catalyze specific redox reactions that drive membrane peroxidation while interfering with the ability of cells, including therapy-resistant cancer cells, to detoxify phospholipid hydroperoxides.

[PMID: 37373088 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24129940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The mechanism of toxicity and cellular response to metal ions present in the environment is still a very current area of research. In this work, which is a continuation of the study of the toxicity of metal ions released by fixed orthodontic appliances, eluates of archwires, brackets, ligatures, and bands are used to test the prooxidant effect, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity on cell lines of the gastrointestinal tract. Eluates obtained after three immersion periods (3, 7, and 14 days) and with known amounts and types of metal ions were used. Four cell lines-CAL 27 (human tongue), Hep-G2 (liver), AGS (stomach) and CaCo-2 (colon)-were treated with each type of eluate at four concentrations (0.1×, 0.5×, 1.0×, and 2.0×) for 24 h. Most eluates had toxic effects on CAL 27 cells over the entire concentration range regardless of exposure time, while CaCo-2 proved to be the most resistant. In AGS and Hep-G2 cells, all samples tested induced free radical formation, with the highest concentration (2×) causing a decrease in free radicals formed compared to the lowest concentrations. Eluates containing Cr, Mn, and Al showed a slight pro-oxidant effect on DNA (on plasmid φX-174 RF I) and slight genotoxicity (comet assay), but these effects are not so great that the human body could not "resist" them. Statistical analysis of data on chemical composition, cytotoxicity, ROS, genotoxicity, and prooxidative DNA damage shows the influence of metal ions present in some eluates on the toxicity obtained. Fe and Ni are responsible for the production of ROS, while Mn and Cr have a great influence on hydroxyl radicals, which cause single-strand breaks in supercoiled plasmid DNA in addition to the production of ROS. On the other hand, Fe, Cr, Mn, and Al are responsible for the cytotoxic effect of the studied eluates. The obtained results confirm that this type of research is useful and brings us closer to more accurate in vivo conditions.

A novel scheme to improve the photo-Fenton performance of iron oxychloride by carbon: Three existent states and roles of carbon in the degradation of tetracycline in water. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 641:916-928. [PMID: 36972626 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.03.113] [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: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
The photo-Fenton process is promising for sincerely treating contaminated water. In this work, carbon-decorated iron oxychloride (C-FeOCl) is synthesized as a photo-Fenton catalyst for removing tetracycline (TC) from water. Three actual states of carbon are identified and their different roles in enhancing photo-Fenton performance are revealed. All carbon on/in FeOCl, including graphite carbon, carbon dots and lattice carbon, enhance visible light adsorption. More importantly, a homogeneous graphite carbon on the outer surface of FeOCl accelerates the transportation-separation of photo-excited electrons along the horizontal direction of FeOCl. Meanwhile, the interlayered carbon dots offer a FeOC bridge in helping the transportation-separation of photo-excited electrons along the vertical direction of FeOCl. In this way, C-FeOCl acquires isotropy in conduction electrons to ensure an efficient Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle. These interlayered carbon dots extend the layer spacing (d) of FeOCl to about 1.10 nm, exposing the internal iron centers. The lattice carbon significantly increases the amounts of coordinatively unsaturated iron sites (CUISs) in activating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to hydroxyl radical (OH). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm this activation on inner and external CUISs with a significantly low activation energy of about 0.33 eV.

Abstract
Conventional adsorbents for decontaminating arsenic exhibit low efficacy for the removal of arsenite (As(III)). This study aims to develop a robust As adsorbent from natural magnetite (M0) via a facile ball milling process, and evaluate their performance for decontaminating As(III) and As(V) in water and soil systems. The ball milling process decreased the particle size and crystallinity of M0, resulting in pronounced As removal by the ball-milled magnetite (Mm). Ball milling under air facilitated the formation of Fe-OH and Fe-COOH functional groups on Mm interface, contributing to effective elimination of As(III) and As(V) via hydrogen bonding and complexation mechanisms. Synergistic oxidation effects of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, and reactive oxygen species (O2·-, and ·OH) on the transformation of As(III) to As(V) during the adsorption were proposed to explain the enhanced As(III) removal by Mm. A short-term soil incubation experiment indicated that the addition of Mm (10 wt%) induced a decrease in the concentration of exchangeable As by 30.25%, and facilitated the transformation of water-soluble As into residual fraction. Ball milling thus is considered as an eco-friendly (chemical-free) and inexpensive (scalable, one-stage process) method for upgrading the performance of natural magnetite towards remediating As, particularly for tackling the highly mobile As(III).

Abstract
Neuro-inflammation and oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Studies demonstrated that neuro-inflammation and associated infiltration of inflammatory cells into central nervous system are inhibited by 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl co-enzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors. Based on these experimental evidences, the present study has been designed to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (atorvastatin and simvastatin) against 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) induced unilateral lesion model of PD. In the present study, the animals were divided into nine groups (n=15 per group). Group I: Naive (without treatment); Group II: Sham (surgery performed, vehicle administered); Group III: Atorvastatin (20mg/kg); Group IV: Simvastatin (30 mg/kg); Group V: Control [Intrastriatal 6-OHDA (20 μg; single unilateral injection)]; Groups VI and VII: 6-OHDA (20 μg)+atorvastatin (10mg/kg and 20mg/kg) respectively; Groups VIII and IX: 6-OHDA (20 μg)+simvastatin (15 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg) respectively. Intrastriatal administration of 6-OHDA (20 μg; 4 μl of 5 μg/μl) significantly caused impairment in body weight, locomotor activity, rota-rod performance, oxidative defense and mitochondrial enzyme complex activity, and increase in the inflammatory cytokine levels (TNF-α and IL-6) as compared to naive animals. Atorvastatin (20mg/kg) and simvastatin (30 mg/kg) drug treatment significantly improved these behavioral and biochemical alterations restored mitochondrial enzyme complex activities and attenuated neuroinflammatory markers in 6-OHDA (20 μg) treated animals as compared to control group. The findings of the present study demonstrate the neuroprotective potential of statins in experimental model of 6-OHDA induced Parkinson like symptoms.
