Affinity Constants of Bovine Serum Albumin for 5 nm Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs) with ω-Functionalized Thiol Monolayers Determined by Fluorescence Spectroscopy. LANGMUIR : THE ACS JOURNAL OF SURFACES AND COLLOIDS 2024; 40. [PMID: 39013805 PMCID: PMC11295198 DOI: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.4c01234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
A detailed understanding of the binding of serum proteins to small (dcore <10 nm) nanoparticles (NPs) is essential for the mediation of protein corona formation in next generation nanotherapeutics. While a number of studies have investigated the details of protein adsorption on large functionalized NPs, small NPs (with a particle surface area comparable in size to the protein) have not received extensive study. This study determined the affinity constant (Ka) of BSA when binding to three different functionalized 5 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). AuNPs were synthesized using three ω-functionalized thiols (mercaptoethoxy-ethoxy-ethanol (MEEE), mercaptohexanoic acid (MHA), and mercaptopentyltrimethylammonium chloride (MPTMA)), giving rise to particles with three different surface charges. The binding affinity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to the different AuNP surfaces was investigated using UV-visible absorbance spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and fluorescence quenching titrations. Fluorescence titrations indicated that the affinity of BSA was actually highest for small AuNPs with a negative surface charge (MHA-AuNPs). Interestingly, the positively charged MPTMA-AuNPs showed the lowest Ka for BSA, indicating that electrostatic interactions are likely not the primary driving force in binding of BSA to these small AuNPs. Ka values at 25 °C for MHA, MEEE, and MPTMA-AuNPs were 5.2 ± 0.2 × 107, 3.7 ± 0.2 × 107, and 3.3 ± 0.16 × 107 M-1 in water, respectively. Fluorescence quenching titrations performed in 100 mM NaCl resulted in lower Ka values for the charged AuNPs, while the Ka value for the MEEE-AuNPs remained unchanged. Measurement of the hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) by dynamic light scattering (DLS) suggests that adsorption of 1-2 BSA molecules is sufficient to saturate the AuNP surface. DLS and negative-stain TEM images indicate that, despite the lower observed Ka values, the binding of MPTMA-AuNPs to BSA likely induces significant protein misfolding and may lead to extensive BSA aggregation at specific BSA:AuNP molar ratios.

Abstract
Proteins can alter their shape when interacting with a surface. This study explores how bovine serum albumin (BSA) modifies structurally when it adheres to a gold surface, depending on the protein concentration and pH. We verified that the gold surface induces significant structural modifications to the BSA molecule using circular dichroism, infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Specifically, adsorbed molecules displayed increased levels of disordered structures and β-turns, with fewer α-helices than the native structure. MP-SPR spectroscopy demonstrated that the protein molecules preferred a planar orientation during adsorption. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the interaction between cysteines exposed to the outside of the molecule and the gold surface was vital, especially at pH=3.5. The macroscopic properties of the protein film observed by AFM and contact angles confirm the flexible nature of the protein itself. Notably, structural transformation is joined with the degree of hydration of protein layers.

Abstract
The interaction of inorganic nanomaterials with biological fluids containing proteins can lead not only to the formation of a protein corona and thereby to a change in the biological activity of nanoparticles but also to a significant effect on the structural and functional properties of the biomolecules themselves. This work studied the interaction of nanoscale CeO2, the most versatile nanozyme, with human serum albumin (HSA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, UV-vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the formation of HSA-CeO2 nanoparticle conjugates. Changes in protein conformation, which depend on the concentration of both citrate-stabilized CeO2 nanoparticles and pristine CeO2 nanoparticles, did not affect albumin drug-binding sites and, accordingly, did not impair the HSA transport function. The results obtained shed light on the biological consequences of the CeO2 nanoparticles' entrance into the body, which should be taken into account when engineering nanobiomaterials to increase their efficiency and reduce the side effects.

Investigation of the Interaction between Mechanosynthesized ZnS Nanoparticles and Albumin Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1219. [PMID: 37765027 PMCID: PMC10536685 DOI: 10.3390/ph16091219] [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: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In this paper, ZnS nanoparticles were bioconjugated with bovine serum albumin and prepared in a form of nanosuspension using a wet circulation grinding. The stable nanosuspension with monomodal particle size distribution (d50 = 137 nm) and negative zeta potential (-18.3 mV) was obtained. The sorption kinetics and isotherm were determined. Interactions between ZnS and albumin were studied using the fluorescence techniques. The quenching mechanism, describing both static and dynamic interactions, was investigated. Various parameters were calculated, including the quenching rate constant, binding constant, stoichiometry of the binding process, and accessibility of fluorophore to the quencher. It has been found that tryptophan, in comparison to tyrosine, can be closer to the binding site established by analyzing the synchronous fluorescence spectra. The cellular mechanism in multiple myeloma cells treated with nanosuspension was evaluated by fluorescence assays for quantification of apoptosis, assessment of mitochondrial membrane potential and evaluation of cell cycle changes. The preliminary results confirm that the nontoxic nature of ZnS nanoparticles is potentially applicable in drug delivery systems. Additionally, slight changes in the secondary structure of albumin, accompanied by a decrease in α-helix content, were investigated using the FTIR method after analyzing the deconvoluted Amide I band spectra of ZnS nanoparticles conjugated with albumin. Thermogravimetric analysis and long-term stability studies were also performed to obtain a complete picture about the studied system.

Abstract
Arsenic sulfide (As4S4) nanoparticles have been intensively researched as a promising drug in a cancer treatment. For the first time, the interaction between As4S4 and bovine serum albumin has been studied in this paper. Initially, the sorption kinetics of albumin on the surface of nanoparticles was investigated. Subsequently, its structural changes influenced by interaction with the As4S4 nanoparticles during wet stirred media milling were studied in deep. Both the dynamic and static quenching were detected after analyzing the fluorescence quenching spectra. From the synchronous fluorescence spectra it was investigated, that the fluorescence intensity for tyrosine residues decreased by about 55%, and for tryptophan it was about 80%. It indicates the fluorescence from tryptophan is more intense and gets more efficiently quenched than those from tyrosine residues in presence of As4S4, implying that the tryptophan can be closer to the binding site. From the circular dichroisms and FTIR spectra it was observed that conformation of the protein remains almost unchanged. The content of appropriate secondary structures was determined by deconvolution of the absorption peak attributed to the amide I band in FTIR spectra. The preliminary anti-tumor cytotoxic effect of prepared albumin-As4S4 system was also tested on multiple myeloma cell lines.

Abstract
Traditionally, toxicity of microplastics is ascribed to the chemicals adsorbed on them. However, microplastics can also interact with biomolecules, such as secretory proteins from aquatic organisms, and form protein-coated microplastics corona complex with unknown toxic effects. Here, we investigated the toxic effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) coated PS corona complex (PS + BSA) on adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) intestines. The food intake ratio, accumulation and distribution of microplastics, histopathological changes, and molecular effects related to the antioxidant system in the intestine were studied. For the first time, we observed that PS + BSA aggregated on the inner surface of the zebrafish intestine, whereas PS dispersed. The aggregation of PS + BSA resulted in increased microplastics accumulation and longer residence time in the zebrafish intestine, which inhibited food intake and generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the intestine. Furthermore, the functions of the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE antioxidant signaling pathway and the activation of antioxidant enzymes were significantly affected by PS + BSA after a 21-day exposure. Ultimately, a higher accumulation of ROS and stronger inhibition of antioxidants led to more severe intestinal injury. These results suggest that the increased toxicity of protein-coated microplastics corona complex may be affected by oxidative damage and can result in the inhibition of digestion due to their aggregation and longer residence time in the intestine. Therefore, the ecological risk of microplastics may be underestimated owing to the interactive mechanisms of microplastics and protein coronas.

Abstract
Nanoparticles and protein bioconjugates have been studied for multiple biomedical applications. We sought to investigate the interaction and structural modifications of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). The IONPs were green synthesized using E. crassipes aqueous leaf extract following characterization using transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-Ray Diffraction. Two different concentrations of native/glycated albumin (0.5 and 1.5 mg/ml) with IONPs were allowed to interact for 1 h at 37 °C. Glycation markers, protein modification markers, cellular antioxidant, and hemolysis studies showed structural modifications and conformational changes in albumin due to the presence of IONPs. UV-Visible absorbance resulted in hyperchromic and bathochromic effects of IONPs-BSA conjugates. Fluorescence measurements of tyrosine, tryptophan, advanced glycated end products, and ANS binding assay were promising and quenching effects proved IONPs-BSA conjugate formation. In FTIR of BSA-IONPs, transmittance was increased in amide A and B bands while decreased in amide I and II bands. In summary, native PAGE, HPLC, and FTIR analysis displayed a differential behaviour of IONPs with native and glycated BSA. These results provided an understanding of the interaction and structural modifications of glycated and native BSA which may provide fundamental repercussions in future studies.

Abstract
The fates of nanomaterials (NMs) in vivo are greatly dependent on their interactions with human serum proteins. However, the interfacial molecular details of NMs-serum proteins are still difficult to be probed. Herein, the molecular interaction details of human serum albumin (HSA) with Au and SiO2 nanoparticles have been systematically interrogated and compared by using lysine reactivity profiling mass spectrometry (LRP-MS). We demonstrated the biocompatibility of Au is better than SiO2 nanoparticles and the NMs surface charge state played a more important role than particle size in the combination of NMs-HSA at least in the range of 15-40 nm. Our results will contribute to the fundamental mechanism understanding of NMs-serum protein interactions as well as the NMs rational design.

Abstract
The biocompatible nanosuspension of CuS nanoparticles (NPs) using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a capping agent was prepared using a two-stage mechanochemical approach. CuS NPs were firstly synthetized by a high-energy planetary ball milling in 15 min by milling elemental precursors. The stability of nanoparticles in the simulated body fluids was studied, revealing zero copper concentration in the leachates, except simulated lung fluid (SLF, 0.015%) and simulated gastric fluid (SGF, 0.078%). Albumin sorption on CuS NPs was studied in static and dynamic modes showing a higher kinetic rate for the dynamic mode. The equilibrium state of adsorption was reached after 90 min with an adsorption capacity of 86 mg/g compared to the static mode when the capacity 59 mg/g was reached after 2 h. Then, a wet stirred media milling in a solution of BSA was introduced to yield the CuS-BSA nanosuspension, being stable for more than 10 months, as confirmed by photon cross-correlation spectroscopy. The fluorescent properties of the nanosuspension were confirmed by photoluminescence spectroscopy, which also showed that tryptophan present in the BSA could be closer to the binding site of CuS than the tyrosine residue. The biological activity was determined by in vitro tests on selected cancer and non-tumor cell lines. The results have shown that the CuS-BSA nanosuspension inhibits the metabolic activity of the cells as well as decreases their viability upon photothermal ablation.

Abstract
Colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have found wide-ranging applications in nanomedicine due to their unique optical properties, ease of preparation, and functionalization. To avoid the formation of GNP aggregates in the physiological environment, molecules such as lipids, polysaccharides, or polymers are employed as GNP coatings. Here, we present the colloidal stabilization of GNPs using ultrashort α,β-peptides containing the repeating unit of a diaryl β2,3-amino acid and characterized by an extended conformation. Differently functionalized GNPs have been characterized by ultraviolet, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy analysis, allowing us to define the best candidate that inhibits the aggregation of GNPs not only in water but also in mouse serum. In particular, a short tripeptide was found to be able to stabilize GNPs in physiological media over 3 months. This new system has been further capped with albumin, obtaining a material with even more colloidal stability and ability to prevent the formation of a thick protein corona in physiological media.

Abstract
Antiemetic drugs are used to control excessive vomiting and nausea and generally absorbed through gastrointestinal tract. In present study, the in-vitro binding interactions two of the antiemetic drugs (dimenhydrinate and ondansetron) between Trypsin (Tsn) secreted from pancreas to small intestine for protein digestion were investigated by fluorescence emission spectroscopy (FES), UV-VIS spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS), FT-IR spectroscopy and molecular modeling methods. Also, the effect of these drugs on the catalytic activity of Tsn was determined. The fluorescence quenching experiments indicated that each drugs quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of Tsn with their increased concentrations. The results of SFS and UV-VIS spectra proved the interaction of dimenhydrinate and ondansetron with Tsn. FT-IR spectra showed that the secondary structure of enzyme was altered in the presence of the drugs. All these spectroscopy results were validated and explained by molecular docking studies. Both drugs have inhibition effect on the catalytic activity of Tsn and the IC50 values were determined as 2.6 × 10-4 M and 6.4 × 10-4 M for dimenhydrinate and ondansetron, respectively. Docking results revealed that the hydrogen bond interaction of dimenhydrinate with active-site residue Ser195 and ondansetron with active-site residues His57 and Ser195 hydrogen bonds might be cause the inhibition of enzyme activity. The results of this study can provide valuable information in the field of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Abstract
Novel methods for introducing chemical and biological functionality to the surface of gold nanoparticles serve to increase the utility of this class of nanomaterials across a range of applications. To date, methods for functionalising gold surfaces have relied upon uncontrollable non-specific adsorption, bespoke chemical linkers, or non-generalisable protein-protein interactions. Herein we report a versatile method for introducing functionality to gold nanoparticles by exploiting the strong interaction between chemically functionalised bovine serum albumin (f-BSA) and citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). We establish the generalisability of the method by introducing a variety of functionalities to gold nanoparticles using cheap, commercially available chemical linkers. The utility of this approach is further demonstrated through the conjugation of the monoclonal antibody Ontruzant to f-BSA-AuNPs using inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) click chemistry, a hitherto unexplored chemistry for AuNP-IgG conjugation. Finally, we show that the AuNP-Ontruzant particles generated via f-BSA-AuNPs have a greater affinity for their target in a lateral flow format when compared to conventional physisorption, highlighting the potential of this technology for producing sensitive diagnostic tests.

Abstract
The interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and nanoparticles (NPs) to form HSA corona has widely been studied since endogenous functions of albumin are highly attractive for drug delivery. However, a full understanding of the molecular dynamics and factors behind the formation of HSA corona, including interactions between HSA and different surface ligands and between neighboring HSA molecules, resulting in conformational change of HSA is presently lacking. Here, we assembled 14 HSA molecules around gold nanorods (AuNRs) with different surface chemistries (bare gold surface, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC)) in silico and examined the dynamics of HSA corona formation using coarse-grained molecular dynamics for 300 ns of simulation. We observed that PDADMAC, being more flexible than PSS, resulted in all HSA molecules moving toward AuNR-PDADMAC, while the instability of CTAB on AuNR resulted in fewer HSA molecules moving toward AuNR-CTAB compared to AuNR-PSS. HSA molecules around AuNR-PDADMAC also exhibited the largest conformational change in terms of their radius of gyration (Rg) and root mean square deviation (RMSD). In the absence of surface ligands, HSA molecules around the bare AuNR were susceptible to steric hindrance with conformational change observed in terms of their RMSD but not their Rg unlike that of HSA molecules around AuNR-PDADMAC. The insights gained from the inclusion of neighboring HSA molecules in the simulation of corona formation could be more representative than examining a single adsorbed HSA molecule on AuNRs with different surface passivations.

Abstract
The nano-conjugation of proteins is an active area of research due to potential biomedical and nanotechnological applications. Many protein-nanoconjugates were designed for various applications, such as drug delivery, molecular imaging, and liquid biopsy etc. However, the challenges remain to ensure protein stability and to retain the conformational state of the protein intact upon nano-conjugation. In this communication we have reported the status of stability and refolding ability of Au-NP conjugated zDHFR protein. The effect of nano-conjugation of zDHFR on the thermal stability and it's refolding from thermally denatured state have been extensively studied. Zebrafish Dihydrofolate reductase (zDHFR) is an essential enzyme which acts as a crucial part in synthesis of purine, thymidylate and various amino acids in cells. We have nano-conjugated zDHFR protein with Au-nanoparticles and studies were conducted for thermally denatured Au-NP conjugated zDHFR and compared with the non-conjugated protein. Refolding experiment of heat denatured Au-NP conjugated zDHFR was carried out to check the status of refolding and the result was compared with the non-conjugated protein. Our observation reveals that nano-conjugation stabilises the zDHFR protein against thermal denaturation. Furthermore, the nano-conjugation promotes refolding process of thermally unfolded DHFR such that the yield of refolding substantially increases.

Abstract
The neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is of great value in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. On the basis of the two related signaling pathways that direct the neural differentiation of ESCs, we used gold nanoparticles (GNP) as a means of combining chemical and physical cues to trigger the neurogenic differentiation of stem cells. Neural differentiation-related functional units (glyco and sulfonate units on glycosaminoglycans, GAG) were anchored on the GNP surface and were then transferred to the cell membrane surface via GNP-membrane interactions. The functional units were able to activate the GAG-related signaling pathway, in turn promoting differentiation and maturation of stem cells into neuronal lineages. In addition, using the photothermal effect of GNP, the differentiation-inducing factor retinoic acid (RA), could be actively delivered into cells via laser irradiation. The RA-related intracellular signaling pathway was thereby further triggered, resulting in strong promotion of neurogenesis with a 300-fold increase in mature neural marker expression. The gold nanocomposites developed in this work provide the basis for a new strategy directing ESCs differentiation into nerve cells with high efficiency and high purity by acting on two related signaling pathways.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles are utilized in a variety of sensing and detection technologies because of their unique physiochemical properties. Their tunable size, shape, and surface charge enable them to be used in an array of platforms. The purpose of this study is to conduct a thorough spectroscopic characterization of Au and functionalized hybrid Au@SiO2 nanoparticles under physiological conditions and in the presence of two proteins known to be abundant in serum, bovine serum albumin and human ubiquitin. The information obtained from this study will enable us to develop design principles to synthesize an array of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy-based nanoparticles as platforms for theranostic applications. We are particularly interested in tailoring the surface chemistry of the Au@SiO2 nanoparticles for applications in theranostic technologies. We employ common spectroscopic techniques, with particular emphasis on circular dichroism and heteronuclear single quantum correlation nuclear magnetic resonance (HSQC NMR) spectroscopy, as combinatorial tools to understand protein conformational dynamics, binding site interactions, and protein corona for the design of nanoparticles capable of reaching their intended target in vivo. Our results conclude that protein adsorption onto the nanoparticle surface prevents nanoparticle aggregation. We observed that varying the ionic strength and type of ion influences the aggregation and aggregation rate of each respective nanoparticle. The conformation of proteins and the absorption of proteins on the surface of Au nanoparticles are also influenced by ionic strength. Using two-dimensional [15N-1H]-HSQC NMR experiments to compare the interactions of Au and Au@SiO2 nanoparticles with 15N-ubiquitin, we observed small chemical shift perturbations in some amino acid peaks and differences in binding site interactions with ubiquitin and respective nanoparticles.

Abstract
In this paper, it has been demonstrated that Au(III) is able to act instead of O2 in the oxidase enzymatic reaction, so that it becomes reduced to purple gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The plasmon band (at 540 nm) can be used as the analytical signal. Tyramine has been determined using its enzymatic reaction with tyramine oxidase (TAO). The kinetic of the AuNP formation has been studied in the light of both the Avrami equation for crystallization and the Finke-Watsy mechanism for AuNP nucleation and growth. The effects of the Au(III), TAO and tyramine concentrations on the corresponding kinetic constants have been investigated. Working at room temperature, under optimal conditions (phosphate buffer pH 7.0, TAO 0.5 U.mL-1 Au(III) 1 mM), the linear response ranges from 2.5 × 10-5 M to 3.3 × 10-4 M Tyramine (5.6% RSD) and the LOD is 2.9 × 10-6 M. Under these conditions, the signal is measured after 30 min reaction (to obtain the highest sensitivity), but this time can be significantly reduced by increasing the temperature (the reaction is finished after 4 min when working at 50 °C). The method has been applied to tyramine determination in a cheese sample with good results. The new scheme proposed in this paper can be extended, in principle, to other enzymatic methods based on oxidase enzymes. Graphical abstractTyramine is determined by measuring the plasmon band of the gold nanoparticles formed during its enzymatic reaction with Tyramine oxidase. Moreover, a mathematical model has been developed to explain the formation of the gold nanoparticles during the reaction.

Abstract
Owing to the peculiar broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), we envisaged their use to treat bacterial/mycobacterial/fungal infections during peritoneal dialysis (PD) of end-stage renal failure patients. However, a recent study from our lab showed that ZnO-NPs cannot be employed for the same in their naked form owing to their rapid agglomeration. Also, the naked ZnO-NPs showed strong interaction with organic acids present in the PD fluid (i.e., lactate and citrate present abundantly in almost all biological fluids) resulting in the formation of bioconjugates. Here, we propose that the surface coating of ZnO NPs may inhibit the binding interactions of NPs with the constituents of PD fluid. Therefore, in this study, we have carried out the surface coating of ZnO NPs with polyethylene glycol (PEG) of different molecular weights, followed by the investigations of physicochemical properties of PEGylated ZnO NPs dispersed in PD fluid using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The interaction of PEGylated ZnO NPs has also been studied separately in glucose and lactic acid which are the main constituents of PD fluid and in citric acid. Although the X-ray diffraction and TEM results infer the colloidal stability of PEGylated ZnO NPs in PD fluid, FT-IR, UV-vis, and nuclear magnetic resonance results revealed the binding interactions of PEGylated ZnO NPs with the PD constituents. PEGylated ZnO NPs also interact strongly with the lactic acid and citric acid, leading to agglomeration, as observed previously for uncoated ZnO NPs. Further, the antibacterial activities of bare and PEG-coated ZnO NPs dispersion in PD fluid have been studied. A reduction in the bacterial inhibition effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was observed for both the bare and PEG-coated ZnO NPs dispersed in PD fluid, indicating that the complex nature of PD fluid counteract on the efficiency of these nanobiotics.

Abstract
Transition-metal nanomaterials are very important to non-enzymatic glucose sensing because of their excellent electrocatalytic ability, good selectivity, the fact that they are not easily interfered with by chloride ion (Cl-), and low cost. However, the linear detection range needs to be expanded. In this paper, Cu2O-bovine serum albumin (BSA) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized for the first time in air at room temperature by a facile and green route. The structure and morphology of Cu2O-BSA NPs were characterized. The as-prepared Cu2O-BSA NPs were used to modify the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in a Nafion matrix. By using cyclic voltammetry (CV), the influence from scanning speed, concentration of NaOH, and load of Cu2O-BSA NPs for the modified electrodes was probed. Cu2O-BSA NPs showed direct electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of glucose in 50 mM NaOH solution at 0.6 V. The chronoamperometry result showed this constructing sensor in the detection of glucose with a lowest detection limit of 0.4 μM, a linear detection range up to 10 mM, a high sensitivity of 1144.81 μAmM-1cm-2 and reliable anti-interference property to Cl-, uric acid (UA), ascorbic acid (AA), and acetaminophen (AP). Cu2O-BSA NPs are promising nanostructures for the fabrication of non-enzymatic glucose electrochemical sensing devices.

Insulin adsorption onto zinc oxide nanoparticle mediates conformational rearrangement into amyloid-prone structure with enhanced cytotoxic propensity. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2018; 1863:153-166. [PMID: 30315849 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2018.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2018] [Revised: 09/02/2018] [Accepted: 10/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Injection localized amyloidosis is one of the most prevalent disorders in type II diabetes mellitus (TIIDM) patients relying on insulin injections. Previous studies have reported that nanoparticles can play a role in the amyloidogenic process of proteins. Hence, the present study deals with the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) on the amyloidogenicity and cytotoxicity of insulin. METHODS ZnONP is synthesised and characterized using XRD, Zeta Sizer, UV-Visible spectroscope and TEM. The characterization is followed by ZnONP interaction with insulin, which is studied employing fluorescence spectroscopes, isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular dynamics simulations. The interaction leads insulin conformational rearrangement into amyloid-like fibril, which is studied using thioflavin T dye binding assay, circular dichroism spectroscopy and TEM, followed by cytotoxicity propensity using Alamar Blue dye reduction assay. RESULTS Insulin has very weak interaction with ZnONP interface. Insulin at studied concentration forms amorphous aggregates at physiological pH, whereas in presence of ZnONP interface amyloid-like fibrils are formed. While the amyloid-like fibrils are cytotoxic to MIN6 and THP-1 cell lines, insulin and ZnONP individual solutions and their fresh mixtures enhance the cells proliferation. CONCLUSIONS The presence of ZnONP interface enhances insulin fibrillation at physiological pH by providing a favourable template for the nucleation and growth of insulin amyloids. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The studied protein-nanoparticle system from protein conformational dynamics point of view throws caution over nanoparticle use in biological applications, especially in vivo applications, considering the amyloidosis a very slow but non-curable degenerative disease.

Abstract
Binding interaction of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) with newly prepared rhodamine 6G-capped gold nanoparticles (Rh6G-Au NPs) under physiological conditions (pH 7.2) was investigated by a wide range of photophysical techniques. Rh6G-Au NPs caused the static quenching of the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA that resulted from the formation of ground-state complex between BSA and Rh6G-Au NPs. The binding constant from fluorescence quenching method (Ka = 1.04 × 104 L mol-1; LoD = 14.0 μM) is in accordance with apparent association constant (Kapp = 1.14 × 101 M-1), which is obtained from absorption spectral studies. Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency between the tryptophan (Trp) residue of BSA and fluorophore of Rh6G-Au NPs during the interaction was calculated to be 90%. The free energy change (ΔG = -23.07 kJ/mol) of BSA-Rh6G-Au NPs complex was calculated based on modified Stern-Volmer Plot. The time-resolved fluorescence analysis confirmed that quenching of BSA follows static mechanism through the formation of ground state complex. Furthermore, synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence measurement, Raman spectral analysis and Circular Dichroism spectrum results corroborate the strong binding between Rh6G-Au NPs and BSA, which causes the conformational changes on BSA molecule. In addition, fluorescence imaging experiments of BSA in living human breast cancer (HeLa) cells was successfully demonstrated, which articulated the value of Rh6G-Au NPs practical applications in biological systems.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was selected as template for the synthesis of AuNPs@gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) core/shell nanoparticles, in which BSA not only acted as dual functions agent for both anchoring and reducing Au3+ ions, but also was employed as a bridge between the AuNPs and AuNCs. Optical properties of AuNPs@AuNCs core/shell nanoparticles were studied using UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy. The prepared AuNPs@AuNCs core/shell nanoparticles exhibited sphere size uniformity with improved monodispersity, excellent fluorescence and fluorescent stability. Compared with AuNCs, AuNPs@AuNCs core/shell nanoparticles possessed large size and strong fluorescence intensity due to the effect of AuNPs as core. Moreover, the mechanism of the AuNPs induced fluorescence changes of the core/shell nanoparticles was first explored.

Abstract
Optical emission behaviours of lysozyme and bovine serum albumin, from bulk and thin film geometry, were studied in the presence of three different divalent ions (Mg2+ , Ca2+ or Ba2+ ) using different spectroscopic [steady-state fluorescence, UV-Vis and Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR)] techniques. Additionally, protein thin films on silicon surfaces were prepared and morphological studies were carried out using atomic force microscopy. Dynamic quenching was mainly identified for both proteins in the presence of Mg2+ , Ca2+ and Ba2+ ions. The molecular conformation of the proteins was modified in thin films compared with that in solution, consequently quenching efficiencies also varied. ATR-FTIR studies confirmed the conformational changes of proteins in the presence of all divalent ions. All metal ions used were divalent in nature and belonged to the same group of the periodic table but, depending on their individual characteristics such as electron affinity, ionic radius, etc., the magnitude of the protein and hydrated ion interaction varied and accordingly the quenching efficiency was modified. Quenching was maximum for Ca2+ ions, followed by the other two ions. Our study clearly illustrates the geometry-dependent physical and biological functions of proteins.

Abstract
Four novel gold(III) complexes of general formulae [AuCl2{(S,S)-R2eddl}]PF6 (R2eddl=O,O'-dialkyl-(S,S)-ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-2-(4-methyl)pentanoate, R=n-Pr, n-Bu, n-Pe, i-Bu; 1-4, respectively), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV/Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy, as well as high resolution mass spectrometry. Density functional theory calculations pointed out that (R,R)-N,N'-configuration diastereoisomers were energetically the most favorable. Duo to high cytotoxic activity complex 3 was chosen for stability study in DMSO, no decomposition occurs within 24h, and for the reaction with ascorbic acid in which was reduced immediately. Additionally, 3 interacts with bovine serum albumin (BSA) as proven by UV/Vis spectroscopy. In vitro antitumor activity was determined against human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa), human myelogenous leukemia (K562), and human melanoma (Fem-x) cancer cell lines, as well as against non-cancerous human embryonic lung fibroblast cells MRC-5. The highest activity was observed against K562 cells (IC50: 5.04-6.51μM). Selectivity indices showed that these complexes are less toxic than cisplatin. 3 had a similar viability kinetics on HeLa cells as cisplatin. Drug accumulation studies in HeLa cells showed that the total gold uptake increased much faster than that of cisplatin pointing out that 3 more efficiently enters the cells than cisplatin. Furthermore, morphological and cell cycle analysis reveal that gold(III) complexes induced apoptosis in time- and dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are considered as ideal materials for biotechnological and medical applications. An important feature of halloysite is that it has a different surface chemistry on the inner and outer sides of the tubes. This property means that negatively-charged molecules can be selectively loaded inside the halloysite nanoscale its lumen. Loaded HNTs can be used for the controlled or sustained release of proteins, drugs, bioactive molecules and other agents. We studied the interaction between HNTs and bovine serum albumin, α lactalbumin and β -lactoglobulin loaded into HTNs using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. These techniques enabled us to study the protein conformation and thermal stability, respectively, and to estimate the amount of protein loaded into the HNTs. TEM images confirmed the loading of proteins into HTNs.

Abstract
As the nanoparticles (NPs) enter into the biological interface, they have to encounter immediate and first exposure to many proteins of different concentrations. The physicochemical interaction of NPs and proteins is greatly influenced not only by the number and type of proteins; but also the surface chemistry of NPs. To analyze the effects of NPs on proteins, the interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) at different concentrations were investigated. The interaction, BSA conformations, kinetics and adsorption were analyzed by UV-Visible spectrophotometer, dynamic light scattering (DLS), FT-IR spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching. DLS, FTIR and UV-visible spectrophotometric analysis confirms the interaction with minor alterations in size of the protein. Fluorescence quenching analysis confirms the side-on or end-on interaction of 1.5 molecules of BSA to AgNP. Further, pseudo-second order kinetics was determined with equilibrium contact-time of 30 min. The data of the present study determines the detailed evaluation of BSA adsorption on AgNP along with mechanism, kinetics and isotherm of the adsorption.

Abstract
Nanoparticles present a wide spectrum of chemical, biological, and physical properties which result in their usage in many branches of science. We present an investigation of the interaction between human serum albumin and hybrid gold-tannic acid nanoparticles synthesized via a chemical reduction method. The results obtained demonstrate that tannic acid can be a very effective reducing and stabilizing agent and allows monodisperse hybrid gold nanomaterial to be obtained. The synthesized hybrid gold-tannic acid nanoparticles strongly interact with human serum albumin by formation of protein-corona complexes. The strength of the interaction with albumin depends on the number of tannic acid molecules on the surface of the nanoparticles and the presence of citric acid. Nanoparticles of large size and rich in tannic acid react more strongly with the protein [K SV = (8.00 ± 0.2) × 105 M-1] compared with smaller ones [K SV = (6.83 ± 0.5) × 104 M-1] containing citric acid and low concentration of tannic acid.

Abstract
The potential of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in therapeutic and diagnostic cancer applications is becoming increasingly recognized, which focuses on their efficient and specific delivery from passive accumulation in tumour tissue to directly targeting tumor-specific biomarkers. AuNPs functionalized by pH low insertion peptide (pHLIP) have recently revealed the capability of targeting acidic tissues and inserting into cell membranes. However, the structure of AuNP-pHLIP conjugates and fundamental gold-peptide interactions still remain unknown. In this study, we have developed a series of molecular dynamics (MD) models reproducing a small gold nanoparticle coupled to pHLIP. We focus on Au135 nanoparticles that comprise a nearly spherical Au core (diameter ∼ 1.4 nm) functionalized with a monomaleimide moiety, mimicking a commercially available monomaleimido NANOGOLD® labelling agent. To probe the structure and folding of pHLIP, which is attached covalently to the maleimide NANOGOLD particle, we have benchmarked the performances of a series of popular, all-atom force fields (FF), including those of OPLS-AA, AMBER03, three variations of CHARMM FFs, as well as united-atom GROMOS G53A6 FF. We found that CHARMMs and OPLSAA FFs predict that in an aqueous salt solution at a neutral pH, pHLIP is partially bound onto the gold surface through some short hydrophobic peptide stretches, while at the same time, a large portion of peptide remains in solution. In contrast, AMBER03 and G53A6 FFs revealed the formation of compact, tightly bound peptide configurations adsorbed onto the nanoparticle core. To reproduce the experimental physical picture of the peptide adsorption onto gold in unfolded and unstructured conformations, our study suggests CHARMM36 and OPLS-AA FFs as a tool of choice for the computational studies of NANOGOLD decorated by pHLIP.

Abstract
The toxicity of selenium (Se) as an antioxidant supplement in the treatment of arthritis is debatable. In this study, Dextrin stabilized Se nanoparticles (SeNP) of size 64 nm ± 0.158 were used to explore its effects as a potent antioxidant with reduced toxicity in both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro toxicity of SeNP was determined using cytotoxicity assay. In vitro interactions of SeNP with DNA and protein was established. Subacute toxicity of SeNP was studied. Wistar rats with complete freunds adjuvant induced arthritis were used. Various concentrations of SeNP per kg body weight were fed orally daily upto to 21 days. Arthritic profile based on paw swelling, histopathological changes in joints, blood indices, and antioxidant enzymes level in organs such as liver, kidney, and spleen were investigated. Dextrin-SeNP when interacted with NIH-3T3 cells showed 15% cytotoxicity at 100 µg/mL whereas, bulk Se showed 95% at the same concentration. SeNP at 250 µg/mL showed protective effect on DNA. Interaction of SeNP with BSA showed increase in quenching of BSA fluorescence. SeNP did not show any subacute toxicity at concentration as high as 5 mg/kg b.w. in Wistar rats. SeNP at a concentration of 250 µg/kg b.w. acted as potent anti-inflammatory agent and significantly reduced (p < 0.05) arthritis induced parameters. The enzymatic antioxidant levels in liver, kidney, and spleen were restored significantly (p < 0.05) at 500 µg/kg b.w. while CRP was regained to normal at concentration of 100 µg/kg b.w. concluding SeNP at 500 µg/kg b.w. can be a potential antiarthritic drug supplement. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The interaction of Citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with Bovine gamma globulin (BGG) was studied using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-Visible and Fluorescence spectroscopy. FTIR has confirmed the conjugation of AuNPs and BGG. Fluorescence quenching of tryptophan has confirmed the strong interaction between BGG and AuNPs. UV-Visible and Fluorescence spectroscopy have investigated the extent of interaction by determining the binding constants. Binding constants evaluated from UV-Visible and Fluorescence data are in good agreement with each other. An independent class of binding site on BGG for AuNPs has been predicted, where AuNPs interact with a highly solvent accessible tryptophan residue.

Abstract
Five novel gold(III) complexes of general formulas [AuCl2{(S,S)-R2eddip}]PF6, ((S,S)-eddip = (S,S)-ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-2-propanoate, R = n-Bu, n-Pe, i-Bu, i-Am, cPe; 1-5, respectively) were synthesized and characterized by UV/Vis, IR and NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. DFT calculations indicated that (R,R)-N,N'-configuration diastereoisomers were the most stable for 1-5. 3 is stable in DMSO for at least 24 h, but immediate hydrolysis in PBS occurs. 3 is readily reduced with ascorbic acid and forms adducts with bovine serum albumin (BSA). In vitro anticancer activity of the gold(III) complexes against human cervix adenocarcinoma HeLa, human myelogenous leukemia K562, human melanoma Fem-x tumor cell lines, as well as against non-cancerous human embryonic lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5 was determined using MTT assay. Complex 4 showed highest activity and selectivity (IC50(Fem-x) = 1.3 ± 0.2; IC50(MRC-5)/IC50(Fem-x) = 72.5 ± 12.4), 4 times more active and 28 times more selective than cisplatin. Complexes induced apoptotic mode of death in a time-dependent manner in HeLa cells.

Abstract
Upon entering biological systems, such as the blood stream, nanoparticles form molecular complexes with the proteins encountered called protein coronas, which shield the surface of the exogenous nanoparticle. The most abundant blood proteins, such as albumin, initially occupy the surface of the nanoparticle. Owing to the widespread applications of gold nanoparticles in medicine, in this study, the docking of human serum albumin to gold nanoparticles was examined and the changes in protein structure were investigated by a molecular dynamic simulation and GOLP force field. The results showed that after the adsorption of albumin on the gold nanoparticle, human serum albumin was denatured and the amount of alpha-helix significantly decreased. Domain III, which has a large cavity of fatty acids binding sites, plays an important role in the adsorption on the gold nanoparticles. Lys464, Thr504, Phe505, and Leu581 are critical amino acids in HSA adsorption on the GNPs. After the adsorption of albumin on the surface of gold nanoparticles, the fluctuations in some of the domains of the protein increased. Variations in the helix properties, such as helix length, dipole, radius, average phi and psi angles, and the length of hydrogen bonds, were calculated in detail.
