Tsikas D. Acetazolamide and human carbonic anhydrases: retrospect, review and discussion of an intimate relationship. J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem 2024; 39:2291336. [PMID: 38078375 DOI: 10.1080/14756366.2023.2291336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Acetazolamide (AZM) is a strong pharmacological sulphonamide-type (R-SO2-NH2, pKa 7.2) inhibitor of the activity of several carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms, notably of renal CA II (Ki, 12 nM) and CA IV (Ki, 74 nM). AZM is clinically used for about eighty years in various diseases including epilepsy and glaucoma. Pharmacological AZM increases temporarily the urinary excretion of bicarbonate (HCO3-) and sodium ions (Na+) and sustainably the urinary pH. AZM is excreted almost unchanged over several hours at high rates in the urine. Closely parallel concentrations of circulating and excretory AZM are observed upon administration of therapeutical doses of AZM. In a proof-of-principle study, we investigated the effects of the ingestion of a 250-mg AZM-containing tablet by a healthy volunteer on the urinary excretion of organic and inorganic substances over 5 h (range, 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5 h). Measured analytes included: AZM, amino acids and their metabolites such as guanidinoacetate, i.e. the precursor of creatine, of asymmetrically (ADMA) and symmetrically (SDMA) dimethylated arginine, nitrite (O = N-O-, pKa 3.4) and nitrate (O2N-O-, pKa -1.37), the major metabolites of nitric oxide (NO), the C-H acidic malondialdehyde (MDA; (CHO)2CH2, pKa 4.5), and creatinine for correction of analytes excretion. All analytes were measured by validated isotopologues using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods. AZM excretion in the urine reached its maximum value after 2 h and was fairly stable for the next 3 h. Time series analysis by the ARIMA method was performed. AZM ingestion increased temporarily the urinary excretion of the amino acids Leu + Ile, nitrite and nitrate, decreased temporarily the urinary excretion of other amino acids. AZM decreased sustainably the urinary excretion of MDA, a biomarker of oxidative stress (i.e. lipid peroxidation). Whether this decrease is due to inhibition of the excretion of MDA or attenuation of oxidative stress by AZM is unknown. The acute and chronic effects of AZM on the urinary excretion of electrolytes and physiological substances reported in the literature are discussed in depth in the light of its extraordinary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Tolerance development/drug resistance to AZM in chronic use and potential mechanisms are also addressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysregulated circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in osteoarthritis (OA) progression. OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the effect of hsa_circ_0044719 (circTRIM25) on the ferroptosis of chondrocytes. METHODS Chondrocytes were treated with interleukin (IL)-1β to generate cell model. Cellular behaviours were measured using cell counting kit-8, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, relevant kits, propidium iodide staining, and immunofluorescence assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to examine the expression of circTRIM25, miR-138-5p, and cAMP responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1), and their interactions were assessed using luciferase reporter analysis and RNA pull-down assay. RESULTS CircTRIM25 was upregulated in OA tissues and IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes. Knockdown of circTRIM25 facilitated the viability and suppressed ferroptosis and inflammation of IL-1β-induced cells. CircTRIM25 served as a sponge of miR-138-5p, which directly targets CREB1. Downregulation of miR-138-5p abrogated the effect induced by knockdown of circTRIM25. Furthermore, enforced CREB1 reversed the miR-138-5p induced effect. Moreover, knockdown of circTRIM25 attenuated cartilage injury in vivo. CONCLUSION Silencing of circTRIM25 inhibited ferroptosis of chondrocytes via the miR-138-5p/CREB axis and thus attenuated OA progression.

Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 422:110809. [PMID: 38955023 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Sterigmatocystin (STC) is an emerging mycotoxin that poses a significant threat to the food security of cereal crops. To mitigate STC contamination in maize, this study employed selected lactic acid bacteria as biocontrol agents against Aspergillus versicolor, evaluating their biocontrol potential and analyzing the underlying mechanisms. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HJ10, isolated from pickle, exhibited substantial in vitro antifungal activity and passed safety assessments, including antibiotic resistance and hemolysis tests. In vivo experiments demonstrated that L. plantarum HJ10 significantly reduced the contents of A. versicolor and STC in maize (both >84 %). The impact of heat, enzymes, alkali, and other treatments on the antifungal activity of cell-free supernatant (CFS) was investigated. Integrated ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed that lactic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid are the key substances responsible for the in vitro antifungal activity of L. plantarum HJ10. These metabolites induced mold apoptosis by disrupting cell wall structure, increasing cell membrane fluidity, reducing enzyme activities, and disrupting energy metabolism. However, in vivo antagonism by L. plantarum HJ10 primarily occurs through organic acid production and competition for growth space and nutrients. This study highlights the potential of L. plantarum HJ10 in reducing A. versicolor and STC contamination in maize.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 354:124188.

Abstract
Cadmium is the most prevalent heavy metal pollutant in the environment and can be readily combined with micro/nanoplastics (M/NPs) to change their bioavailability. In the present study, we comprehensively investigated the effect of polystyrene (PS) NPs on dandelion plants grown under Cd stress. Cd exposure significantly inhibited the growth of dandelion seedlings, resulting in a decrease in seedling elongation from 26.47% to 28.83%, a reduction in biomass from 29.76% to 54.14%, and an exacerbation of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. The interaction between PS NPs and Cd resulted in the formation of larger aggregates, with the Cd bioavailability reduced by 12.56%. PS NPs affect ion absorption by regulating reactive oxygen production and increasing superoxide dismutase activity, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of Cd. PSCd aggregates induced significant changes in the metabolic profiles of dandelions, affecting various carbohydrates related to alcohols, organic acids, sugar metabolism, and bioactive components related to flavonoids and phenolic acids. Furthermore, based on a structural equation model, exposure to PSCd activated oxidative stress and nutrient absorption, thereby affecting plant growth and Cd accumulation. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the effects of PS NPs on Cd bioavailability, accumulation, and plant growth, which are crucial for understanding the food safety of medicinal plants in a coexistence environment.

Abstract
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is an important pathogen harming the global pig industry. Vaccines available for swine cannot protect against PRV completely. Furthermore, no antiviral drugs are available to treat PRV infections. Rehmmannia glutinosa polysaccharide (RGP) possesses several medicinal properties. However, its antiviral activity is not reported. In the present study, we found that RGP can inhibit PRV/XJ5 infection by western blotting, immunofluorescent assay (IFA), and TCID50 assay quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). We revealed RGP can inhibit virus adsorption and invasion into PK-15 cells in a dose-dependent manner via western blotting, IFA, TCID50 assay, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and suppressed PRV/XJ5 replication through western blotting, and qPCR. Additionally, it also reduced PRV/XJ5-induced ROS, lipid oxidation, and improved SOD levels in PK-15 cells, which was observed by using corresponding test kits. To conclude, our findings suggest that RGP might be a novel therapeutic agent for preventing and controlling PRV infection and antioxidant agent.

Gentiopicroside and swertiamarin induce non-selective oxidative stress-mediated cytotoxic effects in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 398:111103.

Abstract
Gentiopicroside (Gp) and swertiamarin (Sm), secoiridoid glycosides commonly found in plants of the Gentianaceae family, differ in one functional group. They exhibit promising cytotoxic effects in cancer cell lines and overall protective outcomes, marking them as promising molecules for developing novel pharmaceuticals. To investigate potential variations in cellular sensitivity to compounds of similar molecular structures, we analyzed the mode of Gp and Sm induced cell death in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after 48 h of treatment. The lowest tested concentration that significantly reduces cell viability, 50 μM, was applied. Oxidative stress parameters were estimated by measuring the levels of prooxidative/antioxidative balance, lipid peroxidation products, and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2-deoxyguanosine, while gene expression of DNA repair enzymes was evaluated by employing quantitative real-time PCR. Cellular morphology was analyzed by fluorescent microscopy, and immunoblot analysis of apoptosis and necroptosis-related proteins was used to assess the type of cell death induced by the treatments. The discriminatory impact of Gp/Sm treatments on apoptosis and necroptosis-induced cell death was evaluated by monitoring the cell survival in co-treatment with specific cell death inhibitors. Obtained results show greater cytotoxicity of Gp than Sm suggesting that variations in the molecular structures of the tested compounds can substantially affect their biological effects. Gp/Sm co-treatment with apoptosis and necroptosis inhibitors revealed a distinct, albeit non-specific mechanism of PBMCs cell death. Although the therapeutic may not directly cause a specific type of cell death, its extent can be pivotal in assessing the safety of therapeutic application and developing phytopharmaceuticals with improved features. Since phytopharmaceuticals affect all exposed cells, identification of cytotoxic mechanisms on PBMCs after Gp and Sm treatment is important for addressing the formulation and dosage of potential phytopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Nuclear factor erythroid factor 2 (Nrf2) is the key regulatory of the antioxidant response elements. Also, Nrf2 interacts with nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB) to inhibit subsequent inflammatory cascade. Activation of Nrf2 signaling ameliorates drug-induced liver injury. Sodium valproate (SVP) is an anti-epilepsy drug with a hepatotoxic adverse effect that restricts its clinical use. In this study, coadministration of Dihydromyricetin (DHM), a natural flavonoid, with SVP to rats upregulated gene expression of Nrf2 and its downstream gene, heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), while suppressed the Nrf2 repressor, Keap-1. Additionally, DHM led to downregulation of proinflammatory factors in liver tissues, including NF-ĸB, interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). This was accompanied by a decrease in the proapoptotic protein (cleaved caspase-3) expression level. Furthermore, biochemical and histopathological studies showed that DHM treatment improved liver function and lipid profile while decreased inflammatory cell infiltration, congestion, and hepatocellular damage. According to our knowledge, prior research has not examined the protective effect of DHM on the liver injury induced by SVP. Consequently, this study provides DHM as a promising herbal medication that, when used with SVP, can prevent its induced hepatotoxicity owing to its potential anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties.

Abstract
Heat stress seriously threatens fish survival and health, demanding immediate attention. Teprenone is a gastric mucosal protective agent that can induce heat shock protein expression. This research investigated the effects of teprenone on largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) subjected to heat stress. Juvenile fish were assigned to different groups: group C (control group, 0 mg teprenone/kg diet), T0, T200, T400, and T800 (0, 200, 400, and 800 mg teprenone/kg diet, respectively), which were fed for 3 days, followed by a day without the diet. All groups except group C were subjected to acute heat stress (from 24 °C to 35 °C at 1 °C per hour and then maintained at 35 °C for 3 h). The results were as follows: The critical thermal maxima were significantly higher in the T200, T400, and T800 groups compared with the T0 group (P < 0.05). Heat stress caused severe damage to the tissue morphology of the liver, while teprenone significantly reduced this injury (P < 0.05). Serum cortisol concentration decreased gradually as teprenone concentration increased, and the lowest concentration was observed in the T800 group (P < 0.05). Compared with the T0 group, the serum activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase were significantly lower in the T200, T400, and T800 groups (P < 0.05). The liver activities of catalase, total superoxide dismutase, and peroxidase were significantly higher in the T200 group than in the T0 group (P < 0.05). Transcript levels of the heat shock proteins (hsp90, hsp70, hspa5, and hsf1) and caspase family (caspase3 and caspase9) in the liver of the T200 group were significantly higher than those of the T0 group (P < 0.05). Western blot results showed that HSP70 and HSPA5 in the liver were significantly upregulated in the T200 group compared with the T0 group (P < 0.05). In summary, dietary teprenone improved thermal tolerance, alleviated heat stress damage in the liver, enhanced antioxidant capacity, and upregulated heat shock proteins in juvenile largemouth bass. This study offers theoretical support for applying teprenone in aquaculture to reduce financial losses caused by abiotic factors.

Nayak SPRR, Boopathi S, Almutairi BO, Arokiyaraj S, Kathiravan MK, Arockiaraj J. Indole-3-acetic acid induced cardiogenesis impairment in in-vivo zebrafish via oxidative stress and downregulation of cardiac morphogenic factors. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 109:104479. [PMID: 38821154 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2024.104479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are increasingly used to promote sustainable agriculture, but their unregulated use raises concerns about potential environmental risks. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a commonly used PGR, has been the subject of research on its developmental toxicity in the in-vivo zebrafish model. IAA exposure to zebrafish embryos caused oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and cellular apoptosis. The study also revealed that critical antioxidant genes including sod, cat, and bcl2 were downregulated, while pro-apoptotic genes such as bax and p53 were upregulated. IAA exposure also hampered normal cardiogenesis by downregulating myl7, amhc, and vmhc genes and potentially influencing zebrafish neurobehavior. The accumulation of IAA was confirmed by HPLC analysis of IAA-exposed zebrafish tissues. These findings underscore the need for further study on the potential ecological consequences of IAA use and the need for sustainable agricultural practices.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2024; 1870:167210.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin has been included as a basal drug in various chemotherapy regimens for colorectal cancer (CRC), a global health concern. However, acquired resistance to oxaliplatin affects the prognosis. This study aimed to determine whether the consumption of a KD increases the sensitivity of CRC cells to oxaliplatin via the inhibition of a classical stem cell marker, Krupple-like factor 5 (KLF5). KLF5 functions as a transcription factor for the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and directly binds to its promoter region. LIF upregulation induces dephosphorylation of metal regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF1), which is recruited to the promoter area of Ferroportin (FPN1), the only cellular iron exporter. FPN1 upregulation reduces the labile iron pool (LIP) and ferroptosis in CRC cells. KLF5 knockdown inhibits the LIF/MTF1/FPN1 axis and induces iron overload, thereby conferring sensitivity to oxaliplatin to CRC cells. KD mimicked KLF5 silencing and sensitized CRC cells to oxaliplatin via a similar mechanism. Thus, potential correlations were observed among ketogenesis, stemness, and iron homeostasis. This finding can be used to formulate a new strategy for overcoming oxaliplatin resistance in patients with CRC.

Abstract
The SWEETs (sugars will eventually be exported transporter) family comprises a class of recently identified sugar transporters that play diverse roles in regulating plant development. Beyond those fundamental functions, emerging evidence suggests that SWEETs may also be involved in plant stress responses, such as salt tolerance. However, the specific role of maize SWEETs in regulating salt tolerance remains unexplored. In this study, we demonstrate that two maize SWEET family members, ZmSWEET15a and ZmSWEET15b, are typical sugar transporters with seven transmembrane helices localized in the cell membrane. The heterologous expression of ZmSWEET15a and ZmSWEET15b in the yeast mutant strain confirms their role as sucrose transporters. Overexpression of ZmSWEET15a and ZmSWEET15b in Arabidopsis resulted in improved NaCl resistance and significant increase in seed germination rate compared to the wild type. Furthermore, by generating maize knockout mutants, we observe that the absence of ZmSWEET15a and ZmSWEET15b affects both plant growth and grain development. The salt treatment results indicate that the knockout mutants of these two genes are more sensitive to salt stress. Comparative analyses revealed that wild-type maize plants outperformed the knockout mutants in terms of growth parameters and physiological indices. Our findings unravel a novel function of ZmSWEET15a and ZmSWEET15b in the salt stress response, offering a theoretical foundation for enhancing maize salt resistance.

Intravenous calcitriol administration improves the liver redox status and attenuates ferroptosis in mice with high-fat diet-induced obesity complicated with sepsis. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 177:116926. [PMID: 38906016 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Obesity aggravates ferroptosis, and vitamin D (VD) may inhibit ferroptosis. We hypothesized that weight reduction and/or calcitriol administration have benefits against the sepsis-induced liver redox imbalance and ferroptosis in obese mice. Mice were fed a high-fat diet for 11 weeks, then half of the mice continued to consume the diet, while the other half were transferred to a low-energy diet for 5 weeks. After feeding the respective diets for 16 weeks, sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Septic mice were divided into four experimental groups: OS group, obese mice injected with saline; OD group, obese mice with calcitriol; WS group, weight-reduction mice with saline; and WD group, weight-reduction mice with calcitriol. Mice in the respective groups were euthanized at 12 or 24 h after CLP. Results showed that the OS group had the highest inflammatory mediators and lipid peroxide levels in the liver. Calcitriol treatment reduced iron content, enhanced the reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio, upregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, ferroptosis-suppressing protein 1, and solute carrier family 7 member 11 expression levels. Also, mitochondrion-associated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, and heme oxidase-1 expression levels increased in the late phase of sepsis. These results were not noted in the WS group. These findings suggest that calcitriol treatment elicits a more-balanced glutathione redox status, alleviates liver ferroptosis, and enhances mitochondrial biogenesis-associated gene expressions. Weight reduction alone had minimal influences on liver ferroptosis and mitochondrial biogenesis in obese mice with sepsis.

Abstract
This study investigates whether Andrographolide-loaded Lactose β-Cyclodextrin (ALN-βCD) nanoparticles enhance cognitive function, particularly spatial learning and memory. The successful conjugation of lactose to β-cyclodextrin was confirmed via 1H NMR spectroscopy, facilitating neuronal cell entry. The solvent evaporation method was used to create the nanoparticles, which were characterised for particle size, PDI, zeta potential, and drug release. The nanoparticles exhibited a size of 247.9 ± 3.2 nm, a PDI of 0.5 ± 0.02, and a zeta potential of 26.8 ± 2.5 mV. FTIR and TEM analyses, along with in vitro drug release and BBB permeability studies, confirmed their stability and efficacy. Behavioural tests, including the Elevated Plus Maze, Y-Maze, Object Recognition, and Locomotor Activity tests, demonstrated significant improvements in memory, motor coordination, and exploration time in the nanoparticle-treated groups. The group treated with ALN-βCD at a dose of 100 mg/kg/p.o. showed superior cognitive performance compared to the group receiving free andrographolides (AG). Biochemical assays indicated a significant reduction in acetylcholinesterase activity and lipid peroxidation, suggesting increased acetylcholine levels and reduced oxidative stress. Histopathological examination showed improved neuronal function without toxicity. The results showed significant improvements (p < 0.001) in memory and cognitive abilities in experimental animals, highlighting the potential of ALN-βCD nanoparticles as a non-invasive treatment for memory loss. These promising findings warrant further exploration through clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic illnesses characterized by elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream as a result of abnormalities in the generation or function of insulin. Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is an essential component of diabetes management. Dietary fats are essential in both the prevention and progression of chronic diseases. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are recognized for their advantageous impact on health. They assist in controlling blood sugar levels and lipid profile in patients with all types of diabetes. Furthermore, they reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events and death linked to DM. RECENT FINDINGS After evaluating the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antilipidemic, and antidiabetic mechanisms of omega-3 fatty acid supplements, as well as the results from randomized controlled studies, it is clear that these supplements have positive effects in both preventing and treating diabetes, as well as preventing and treating complications related to diabetes, specifically cardiovascular diseases. However, current evidence does not support the use of omega-3 supplementation in people with diabetes for the purpose of preventing or treating cardiovascular events. People with all types of diabetes are suggested to include fatty fish and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids in their diet twice a week, as is prescribed for the general population.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of dietary erucic acid (EA) on growth, lipid accumulation, antioxidant and immune abilities, and lipid metabolism in black carp fed six diets containing varying levels of EA (0.00%, 0.44%, 0.81%, 1.83%, 2.74%, and 3.49%), for 8 weeks. Results showed that fish fed the 3.49% EA diet exhibited lower weight gain, compared to those fed the 0.81% EA diet. In a dose-dependent manner, the serum triglycerides and total cholesterol were significantly elevated in the EA groups. The 1.83%, 2.74%, and 3.49% levels of EA increased alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities, as well as decreased acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase values compared to the EA-deficient group. The hepatic catalase activity and transcriptional level were notably reduced, accompanied by increased hydrogen peroxide contents in the EA groups. Furthermore, dietary EA primarily increased the C22:1n-9 and C20:1n-9 levels, while decreasing the C18:0 and C18:1n-9 contents. In the EA groups, expressions of genes, including hsl, cpt1a, cpt1b, and ppara were downregulated, whereas the fas and gpat expressions were enhanced. Additionally, dietary EA elevated the mRNA level of il-1β and reduced the expression of il-10. Collectively, high levels of EA (2.74% and 3.49%) induced lipid accumulation, reduced antioxidative and immune abilities in black carp by inhibiting lipid catabolism and increasing lipogenesis. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the use of rapeseed oil rich in EA for black carp and other carnivorous fish species.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical medical condition characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates. The pathogenesis of AKI potentially involves bursts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) bursts and elevated levels of inflammatory mediators. Developing nanoparticles (NPs) that downregulate ROS and inflammatory mediators is a promising approach to treat AKI. However, such NPs would be affected by the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). Typically, NPs are too large to penetrate the glomerular system and reach the renal tubules─the primary site of AKI injury. Herein, we report the development of ultrasmall carbon dots-gallic acid (CDs-GA) NPs (∼5 nm). These NPs exhibited outstanding biocompatibility and were shown not only to efficiently eliminate ROS and alleviate oxidative stress but also to suppress the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, leading to a reduction in the release of inflammatory factors. Importantly, CDs-GA NPs were shown to be able to rapidly accumulate rapidly in the renal tissues without the need for intricate targeting strategies. In vivo studies demonstrated that CDs-GA NPs significantly reduced the incidence of cisplatin (CDDP)-induced AKI in mice, surpassing the efficacy of the small molecular drug, N-acetylcysteine. This research provides an innovative strategy for the treatment of AKI.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune-mediated condition that affects the digestive system and includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Although the exact etiology of IBD remains uncertain, dysfunctional immunoregulation of the gut is believed to be the main culprit. Amongst the immunoregulatory factors, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), components of the oxidative stress event, are produced at abnormally high levels in IBD. Their destructive effects may contribute to the disease's initiation and propagation, as they damage the gut lining and activate inflammatory signaling pathways, further exacerbating the inflammation. Oxidative stress markers, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and serum-free thiols (R-SH), can be measured in the blood and stool of patients with IBD. These markers are elevated in patients with IBD, and their levels correlate with the severity of the disease. Thus, oxidative stress markers can be used not only in IBD diagnosis but also in monitoring the response to treatment. It can also be targeted in IBD treatment through the use of antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine. In this review, we summarize the role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of IBD, its diagnostic targets, and the potential application of antioxidant therapies to manage and treat IBD.

Abstract
Previous studies have highlighted the toxicity of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in plants, yet understanding their spatial distribution within plant tissues and specific toxic effects remains limited. This study investigates the spatial-specific toxic effects of carbamazepine (CBZ), a prevalent PPCP, in plants. Utilizing desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI), CBZ and its transformation products were observed predominantly at the leaf edges, with 2.3-fold higher concentrations than inner regions, which was confirmed by LC-MS. Transcriptomic and metabolic analyses revealed significant differences in gene expression and metabolite levels between the inner and outer leaf regions, emphasizing the spatial location's role in CBZ response. Notably, photosynthesis-related genes were markedly downregulated, and photosynthetic efficiency was reduced at leaf edges. Additionally, elevated oxidative stress at leaf edges was indicated by higher antioxidant enzyme activity, cell membrane impairment, and increased free fatty acids. Given the increased oxidative stress at the leaf margins, the study suggests using in situ Raman spectroscopy for early detection of CBZ-induced damage by monitoring reactive oxygen species levels. These findings provide crucial insights into the spatial toxicological mechanisms of CBZ in plants, forming a basis for future spatial toxicology research of PPCPs.

Anti-oxidative stress and cognitive improvement of a semi-synthetic isoorientin-based GSK-3β inhibitor in rat pheochromocytoma cell PC12 and scopolamine-induced AD model mice via AKT/GSK-3β/Nrf2 pathway. Exp Neurol 2024; 380:114881. [PMID: 38996864 DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2024.114881] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive deficits. Although the pathogenesis of AD is unclear, oxidative stress has been implicated to play a dominant role in its development. The flavonoid isoorientin (ISO) and its synthetic derivatives TFGF-18 selectively inhibit glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), a potential target of AD treatment. PURPOSE To investigate the neuroprotective effect of TFGF-18 against oxidative stress via the GSK-3β pathway in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells in vitro and scopolamine (SCOP)-induced AD mice in vivo. METHOD The oxidative stress of PC12 cells was induced by H2O2 (600 μM) and the effects of TFGF-18 (2 and 8 μM) or ISO (12.5 and 50 μM) were observed. The AD mouse model was induced by SCOP (3 mg/kg), and the effects of TFGF-18 (2 and 8 mg/kg), ISO (50 mg/kg), and donepezil (DNP) (3 mg/kg) were observed. DNP, a currently accepted drug for AD was used as a positive control. The neuronal cell damages were analyzed by flow cytometry, LDH assay, JC-1 assay and Nissl staining. The oxidative stress was evaluated by the detection of MDA, SOD, GPx and ROS. The level of ACh, and the activity of AChE, ChAT were detected by the assay kit. The expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase3, cleaved-caspase3, p-AKT (Thr308), AKT, p-GSK-3β (Ser9), GSK-3β, Nrf2, and HO-1, as well as p-CREB (Ser133), CREB, and BDNF were analyzed by western blotting. Morris water maze test was performed to analyze learning and memory ability. RESULTS TFGF-18 inhibited neuronal damage and the expressions of Bax, caspase3 and cleaved-caspase3, and increased the expression of Bcl-2 in vitro and in vivo. The level of MDA and ROS were decreased while the activities of SOD and GPx were increased by TFGF-18. Moreover, TFGF-18 increased the p-AKT, p-GSK-3β (Ser9), Nrf2, HO-1, p-CREB, and BDNF expression reduced by H2O2 and SCOP. Meanwhile, MK2206, an AKT inhibitor, reversed the effect of TFGF-18 on the AKT/GSK-3β pathway. In addition, the cholinergic system (ACh, ChAT, and AChE) disorders were retrained and the learning and memory impairments were prevented by TFGF-18 in SCOP-induced AD mice. CONCLUSIONS TFGF-18 protects against neuronal cell damage and cognitive impairment by inhibiting oxidative stress via AKT/GSK-3β/Nrf2 pathway.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:827. [PMID: 39061896 PMCID: PMC11273690 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13070827] [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: 05/25/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Colistin is commonly regarded as the "last-resort" antibiotic for combating life-threatening infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) gram-negative bacteria. Neurotoxicity is a potential adverse event associated with colistin application in clinical settings, yet the exact molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined the detrimental impact of colistin exposure on PC12 cells and the associated molecular mechanisms. Colistin treatment at concentrations of 0-400 μM decreased cell viability and induced apoptotic cell death in both time- and concentration-dependent manners. Exposure to colistin triggered the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and caused oxidative stress damage in PC12 cells. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) supplementation partially mitigated the cytotoxic and apoptotic outcomes of colistin. Evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction was observed through the dissipation of membrane potential. Additionally, colistin treatment upregulated the expression of AhR and CYP1A1 mRNAs in PC12 cells. Pharmacological inhibition of AhR (e.g., using α-naphthoflavone) or intervention with the CYP1A1 gene significantly decreased the production of ROS induced by colistin, subsequently lowering caspase activation and cell apoptosis. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate, for the first time, that the activation of the AhR/CYP1A1 pathway contributes partially to colistin-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis, offering insights into the cytotoxic effects of colistin.

Five coexisting brominated flame retardants in a water-sediment-Vallisneria system: Bioaccumulation and effects on oxidative stress and photosynthesis. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 933:173230.

Abstract
The pollution of various brominated flame retardants (BFRs) is concurrence, while their environmental fate and toxicology in water-sediment-submerged plant systems remain unclear. In this study, Vallisneria natans plants were co-exposed to 2,3,4,5,6-pentabromotoluene (PBT), hexabromobenzene (HBB), 1,2-bis (2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (BTBPE), decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE209), and decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE). The ∑BFRs concentration in the root was 2.15 times higher than that in the shoot. Vallisneria natans accumulated more BTBPE and HBB in 0.2, 1, and 5 mg/kg treatments, while they accumulated more DBDPE and BDE209 in 25 and 50 mg/kg treatments. The bioaccumulation factors in the shoot and root were 1.08-96.95 and 0.04-0.70, respectively. BFRs in sediments had a more pronounced effect on bioaccumulation levels than BFRs in water, and biotranslocation was another potential influence factor. The SOD activity, POD activity, and MDA content were significantly increased under co-exposure. The DBDPE separate exposure impacted the metabolism of substances and energy, inhibited mismatch repair, and disrupted ribosomal functions in Vallisneria natans. However, DBDPE enhanced their photosynthesis by upregulating the expression level of genes related to the light reaction. This study provides a broader understanding of the bioaccumulation and toxicity of BFRs in submerged plants, shedding light on the scientific management of products containing BFRs.

Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), often stemming from reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation due to various factors such as ototoxic drugs, acoustic trauma, and aging, remains a significant health concern. Oxidative stress-induced damage to the sensory cells of the inner ear, particularly the non-regenerating hair cells, is a critical pathologic mechanism leading to SNHL. Despite the proven efficacy of antioxidants in mitigating oxidative stress, their clinical application for otoprotection is hindered by the limitations of conventional drug delivery methods. This review highlights the challenges associated with systemic and intratympanic administration of antioxidants, including the blood-labyrinthine barrier, restricted permeability of the round window membrane, and inadequate blood flow to the inner ear. To overcome these hurdles, the application of nanoparticles as a delivery platform for antioxidants emerges as a promising solution. Nanocarriers facilitate indirect drug delivery to the cochlea through the round and oval window membrane, optimising drug absorption while reducing dosage, Eustachian tube clearance, and associated side effects. Furthermore, the development of nanoparticles carrying antioxidants tailored to the intracochlear environment holds immense potential. This literature research aimed to critically examine the root causes of SNHL and ROS overproduction in the inner ear, offering insights into the application of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for safeguarding sensorineural hair cells. By focusing on the intricate interplay between oxidative stress and hearing loss, this research aims to contribute to the advancement of innovative therapeutic strategies for the prevention of SNHL.

Abstract
The focus on phytoremediation in soil cadmium (Cd) remediation is driven by its cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness. Selecting suitable hyperaccumulators and optimizing their growth conditions are key to enhance the efficiency of heavy metal absorption and accumulation. Our research has concentrated on the role of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) in facilitating Cd phytoextraction by "Sedum alfredii (S. alfredii)" through improved soil-microbe interactions. Results showed that SA or JA significantly boosted the growth, stress resistance, and Cd extraction efficiency in S. alfredii. Moreover, these phytohormones enhanced the chemical and biochemical attributes of the rhizosphere soil, such as pH and enzyme activity, affecting soil-root interactions. High-throughput sequencing analysis has shown that Patescibacteria and Umbelopsis enhanced S. alfredii's growth and Cd extraction by modifying the bioavailability and the chemical conditions of Cd in soil. Structural Equation Model analysis further verified that phytohormones significantly enhanced the interaction between S. alfredii, soil, and microbes, leading to a marked increase in Cd accumulation in the plant. These discoveries emphasized the pivotal role of phytohormones in modulating the hyperaccumulators' response to environmental stress and offered significant scientific support for further enhancing the potential of hyperaccumulators in ecological restoration technologies using phytohormones.

Abstract
Sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam], the crop with the seventh highest annual production globally, is susceptible to various adverse environmental influences, and the study of stress-resistant genes is important for improving its tolerance to abiotic stress. The enzyme trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) is indispensable in the one pathway for synthesizing trehalose in plants. TPS is known to participate in stress response in plants, but information on TPS in sweet potato is limited. This study produced the N-terminal truncated IbTPS1 gene (△NIbTPS1) overexpression lines of Arabidopsis thaliana and sweet potato. Following salt and mannitol-induced drought treatment, the germination rate, root elongation, and fresh weight of the transgenic A. thaliana were significantly higher than that in the wild type. Overexpression of △NIbTPS1 elevated the photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) and the activity of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase in sweet potato during drought and salt treatments, while reducing malondialdehyde and O2∙- contents, although expression of the trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase gene IbTPP and trehalose concentrations were not affected. Thus, overexpressing the △NIbTPS1 gene can improve the stress tolerance of sweet potato to drought and salt by enhancing the photosynthetic efficiency and antioxidative enzyme system. These results will contribute to understand the functions of the △NIbTPS1 gene and trehalose in the response mechanism of higher plants to abiotic stress.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising natural polymer prized for its biocompatibility, microporosity, transparency, conformability, elasticity, and ability to maintain a moist wound environment while absorbing exudates. These attributes make BC an attractive material in biomedical applications, particularly in skin tissue repair. However, its lack of inherent antimicrobial activity limits its effectiveness. In this study, BC was enhanced by incorporating cerium (IV)-oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles, resulting in a series of bacterial cellulose-CeO2 (BC-CeO2) composite materials. Characterization via FESEM, XRD, and FTIR confirmed the successful synthesis of the composites. Notably, BC-CeO2-1 exhibited no cytotoxic or genotoxic effects on peripheral blood lymphocytes, and it additionally protected cells from genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in H2O2-treated cultures. Redox parameters in blood plasma samples displayed concentration and time-dependent trends in PAB and LPP assays. The incorporation of CeO2 nanoparticles also bolstered antimicrobial activity, expanding the potential biomedical applications of these composites.

PEX3 promotes regenerative repair after myocardial injury in mice through facilitating plasma membrane localization of ITGB3. Commun Biol 2024; 7:795.

Abstract
The peroxisome is a versatile organelle that performs diverse metabolic functions. PEX3, a critical regulator of the peroxisome, participates in various biological processes associated with the peroxisome. Whether PEX3 is involved in peroxisome-related redox homeostasis and myocardial regenerative repair remains elusive. We investigate that cardiomyocyte-specific PEX3 knockout (Pex3-KO) results in an imbalance of redox homeostasis and disrupts the endogenous proliferation/development at different times and spatial locations. Using Pex3-KO mice and myocardium-targeted intervention approaches, the effects of PEX3 on myocardial regenerative repair during both physiological and pathological stages are explored. Mechanistically, lipid metabolomics reveals that PEX3 promotes myocardial regenerative repair by affecting plasmalogen metabolism. Further, we find that PEX3-regulated plasmalogen activates the AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway via the plasma membrane localization of ITGB3. Our study indicates that PEX3 may represent a novel therapeutic target for myocardial regenerative repair following injury.

Effects of Pterostilbene on Heart and Lung Oxidative Stress Parameters in 2 Experimental Models of Cardiovascular Disease: Myocardial Infarction and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2024; 84:101-109. [PMID: 38573589 DOI: 10.1097/fjc.0000000000001572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
ABSTRACT Myocardial infarction (MI) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are 2 prevalent cardiovascular diseases. In both conditions, oxidative stress is associated with a worse prognosis. Pterostilbene (PTE), an antioxidant compound, has been studied as a possible therapy for cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to evaluate the effect of PTE on oxidative stress in the hearts of animals with MI and in the lungs of animals with PAH. Male Wistar rats were used in both models. In the MI model, the experimental groups were sham, MI, and MI + PTE. In the PAH model, the experimental groups were control, PAH, and PAH + PTE. Animals were exposed to MI through surgical ligation of the left coronary artery, or to PAH, by the administration of monocrotaline (60 mg/kg). Seven days after undergoing cardiac injury, the MI + PTE animals were treated with PTE (100 mg/kg day) for 8 days. After this, the heart was collected for molecular analysis. The PAH + PTE animals were treated with PTE (100 mg/kg day) for 14 days, beginning 7 days after PAH induction. After this, the lungs were collected for biochemical evaluation. We found that PTE administration attenuated the decrease in ejection fraction and improved left ventricle end-systolic volume in infarcted animals. In the PAH model, PTE improved pulmonary artery flow and decreased reactive oxygen species levels in the lung. PTE administration promoted protective effects in terms of oxidative stress in 2 experimental models of cardiac diseases: MI and PAH. PTE also improved cardiac function in infarcted rats and pulmonary artery flow in animals with PAH.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammation of the colon lining, represents the main form of inflammatory bowel disease IBD. Nutritional therapy is extremely important in the management of ulcerative colitis. Fish oil contains long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which have beneficial effects on health, including anti-inflammatory effects. This study aims to investigate the benefits of bluefin tuna oil extracted by the Soxhlet method in vitro by determining the anti-radical and anti-inflammatory activities and in vivo by evaluating the preventive and curative effects. The experiments were carried out using two doses of oil (100 and 260 mg/kg) and glutamine (400 and 1000 mg/kg) on the acetic acid-induced UC model. UC has been induced in Wistar rats by intrarectal administration of a single dose of 1 mL acetic acid (5% v/v in distilled water). The obtained results indicate that tuna oil and glutamine have a significant anti-free radical effect. Tuna oil has a marked anti-inflammatory power based on membrane stabilization and inhibiting protein denaturation. The reduction of various UC parameters, such as weight loss, disease activity score DAS, and colonic ulceration in rats pre-treated with tuna oil and glutamine, demonstrate that these treatments have a significant effect on UC. Total glutathione GSH, superoxide dismutase SOD, and catalase activities are significantly restored in the tuna oil and glutamine groups, while lipid peroxidation has been markedly reduced.

Naringenin mitigates cadmium-induced cell death, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation in KGN cells by regulating the expression of sirtuin-1.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the potential protective role of naringenin against the harmful effects induced by cadmium in KGN cell line. Cell viability was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 assay. Caspase-3/-9 activities were determined by caspase-3/-9 activity assay kits, respectively. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by ROS-Glo™ H2O2 Assay, antioxidant capacity was determined by a total antioxidant capacity assay kit. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), ATP level, and ATP synthase activity were determined by JC-1, ATP assay kit, and ATP synthase activity assay kit, respectively. The mRNA expression was determined by qRT-PCR. Cadmium reduced cell viability and increased caspase-3/-9 activities in a concentration-dependent manner. Naringenin improved cell viability and reduced caspase-3/-9 activities in cadmium-stimulated KGN cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Cadmium diminished the antioxidant capacity, increased ROS production, and induced mitochondrial dysfunction in KGN cells. These effects were ameliorated by naringenin treatment in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, naringenin reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in KGN cells exposed to cadmium. SIRT1 knockdown downregulated its expression in KGN cells and compromised the protective effects of naringenin on cell viability and caspase-3/-9 activities in cadmium-stimulated KGN cells. Naringenin prevented the reduction of MMP, ATP levels, and ATP synthase activity in cadmium-stimulated KGN cells in a concentration-dependent manner. However, these protective effects were significantly reversed by SIRT1 knockdown. In conclusion, this study suggests that naringenin protects against cadmium-induced damage by regulating oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and inflammation in KGN cells, with SIRT1 playing a potential mediating role.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2024; 273:107016.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) accumulate and integrate into aquatic environments, raising concerns about the well-being and safety of aquatic ecosystems. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a persistent PAH commonly detected in the environment, has been extensively studied. However, the broader multifaceted toxicity potential of BaP on the early life stages of marine fish during chronic exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations needs further exploration. To fill these knowledge gaps, this study assessed the in vivo biotoxicity of BaP (1, 4, and 8 μg/L) in marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) during early development over a 30-day exposure period. The investigation included morphological, biochemical, and molecular-level analyses to capture the broader potential of BaP toxicity. Morphological analyses showed that exposure to BaP resulted in skeletal curvatures, heart anomalies, growth retardation, elevated mortality, delayed and reduced hatching rates. Biochemical analyses revealed that BaP exposure not only created oxidative stress but also disrupted the activities of antioxidant enzymes. This disturbance in redox balance was further explored by molecular level investigation. The transcriptional profiles revealed impaired oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle pathways, which potentially inhibited the oxidative respiratory chain in fish following exposure to BaP, and reduced the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). Furthermore, this investigation indicated a potential connection to apoptosis, as demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy and histological analyses, and supported by an increase in the expression levels of related genes via real-time quantitative PCR. This study enhances our understanding of the molecular-level impacts of BaP's multifaceted toxicity in the early life stages of marine medaka, and the associated risks.

Respiratory Symptoms and Changes of Oxidative Stress Markers among Motorbike Drivers Chronically Exposed to Fine and Ultrafine Air Particles: A Case Study of Douala and Dschang, Cameroon. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3816. [PMID: 38999382 PMCID: PMC11242172 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13133816] [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: 05/11/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Recent studies revealed that the high production of reactive oxidative species due to exposure to fine or ultrafine particles are involved in many chronic respiratory disorders. However, the poor standard of clinical data in sub-Saharan countries makes the assessment of our knowledge on the health impacts of air pollution in urban cities very difficult. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of respiratory disorders associated with exposure to fine and ultrafine air particles through the changes of some oxidative stress biomarkers among motorbike drivers from two cities of Cameroon. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a standardized questionnaire was conducted in 2019 on 191 motorcycle drivers (MDs) working in Douala and Dschang. Then, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured using colorimetric methods. The data of participants, after being clustered in Microsoft Excel, were analyzed and statistically compared using SPSS 20 software. Results: The motorbike drivers recruited from both cities were from 21 to 40 years old, with a mean age of 29.93 (±0.82). The distribution of respiratory disorders, such as a runny nose, cold, dry cough, chest discomfort, and breathlessness, was significantly increased among MDs in Douala. According to the results of biological assays, SOD and MDA were significantly greater among the MDs recruited in Douala compared to those of Dschang. The change in these oxidative stress markers was significantly positively correlated with the mobilization of monocytes and negatively correlated with neutrophils, showing the onset and progression of subjacent inflammatory reactions, and it seemed to be significantly influenced by the location MDs lived in. Conclusions: Through this study, we have confirmed the evidence supporting that the onset and progression of oxidative stress is caused by the long-term exposure to fine or ultrafine air particles among working people living in urban cities. Further studies should be conducted to provide evidence for the cellular damage and dysfunction related to the chronic exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) in the air among working people in the metropolitan sub-Saharan Africa context.

Abstract
Yeast culture (YC) plays a significant role in enhancing the performance and health of poultry breeding. This study investigated the impact of different YC supplementation concentrations (basal diet with 1.0 g/kg and 2.0 g/kg of YC, YC1.0, and YC2.0) on egg production performance, egg quality, antioxidant properties, intestinal mucosal structure, and intestinal flora of laying hens. Both YC1.0 and YC2.0 groups significantly enhanced the egg protein height, Haugh unit, and crude protein content of egg yolks compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The supplementation with YC2.0 notably increased the egg production rate, reduced feed-to-egg ratio, and decreased the broken egg rate compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Additionally, YC supplementation enhanced serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) activity while reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) content (p < 0.05). Moreover, YC supplementation promoted duodenal villus height and villus ratio in the duodenum and jejunum (p < 0.05). Analysis of cecal microorganisms indicated a decrease in Simpson and Shannon indices with YC supplementation (p < 0.05). YC1.0 reduced the abundance of Proteobacteria, while YC2.0 increased the abundance of Bacteroidales (p < 0.05). Overall, supplementation with YC improved egg production, quality, antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, and cecal microbial composition in laying hens, with significant benefits observed at the 2.0 g/kg supplementation level.

Abstract
Human health is becoming concerned about exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) emanating from plastic, such as phthalates, which are industrially employed as plasticizers in the manufacturing of plastic products. Due to some toxicity concerns, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) was replaced by diisononyl phthalate (DiNP). Recent data, however, highlights the potential of DiNP to interfere with the endocrine system and influence allergic responses. Asthma affects brain function through hypoxia, systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and sleep disturbances and its effective management is crucial for maintaining respiratory and brain health. Therefore, in DiNP-induced asthmatic mice, this study investigated possible crosstalk between the lungs and the brain inducing perturbations in neural mitochondrial antioxidant status, inflammation biomarkers, energy metabolizing enzymes, and apoptotic indicators. To achieve this, twelve (n = 12, 20-30 g) male BALB/c mice were divided into two (2) experimental groups, each with five (6) mice. Mice in group II were subjected to 50 mg/kg body weight (BW) DiNP (Intraperitoneal and intranasal), while group I served as the control group for 24 days. The effects of DiNP on neural energy metabolizing enzymes (Hexokinase, Aldolase, NADase, Lactate dehydrogenase, Complex I, II, II & IV), biomarkers of inflammation (Nitric oxide, Myeloperoxidase), oxidative stress (malondialdehyde), antioxidants (catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, and reduced glutathione), oncogenic and apoptotic factors (p53, K-ras, Bcl, etc.), and brain histopathology were investigated. DiNP-induced asthmatic mice have significantly (p < 0.05) altered neural energy metabolizing capacities due to disruption of activities of enzymes of glycolytic and oxidative phosphorylation. Other responses include significant inflammation, oxidative distress, decreased antioxidant status, altered oncogenic-apoptotic factors level and neural degeneration (as shown in hematoxylin and eosin-stained brain sections) relative to control. Current findings suggest that neural histoarchitecture, energy metabolizing potentials, inflammation, oncogenic and apoptotic factors, and mitochondrial antioxidant status may be impaired and altered in DiNP-induced asthmatic mice suggesting a pivotal crosstalk between the two intricate organs (lungs and brain).

Effects of hesperidin on the histological structure, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in the liver and kidney induced by NiCl 2. Front Vet Sci 2024; 11:1424711. [PMID: 38983771 PMCID: PMC11231102 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2024.1424711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hesperidin on the liver and kidney dysfunctions induced by nickel. The mice were divided into six groups: nickel treatment with 80 mg/kg, 160 mg/kg, 320 mg/kg hesperidin groups, 0.5% CMC-Na group, nickel group, and blank control group. Histopathological techniques, biochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and the TUNEL method were used to study the changes in structure, functions, oxidative injuries, and apoptosis of the liver and kidney. The results showed that hesperidin could alleviate the weight loss and histological injuries of the liver and kidney induced by nickel, and increase the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) in liver and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr) and N-acetylglucosidase (NAG) in kidney. In addition, hesperidin could increase the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the liver and kidney, decrease the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and inhibit cell apoptosis. It is suggested that hesperidin could help inhibit the toxic effect of nickel on the liver and kidney.

Abstract
Metformin is the most widely used drug in type 2 diabetes. Regular metformin use has been associated with changes in concentrations of amino acids. In the present study, we used valid stable-isotope labeled GC-MS methods to measure amino acids and metabolites, including creatinine as well as malondialdehyde (MDA), as an oxidative stress biomarker in plasma, urine, and dialysate samples in a patient at admission to the intensive care unit and during renal replacement treatment because of metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA, 21 mM lactate, 175 µM metformin). GC-MS revealed lower concentrations of amino acids in plasma, normal concentrations of the nitric oxide (NO) metabolites nitrite and nitrate, and normal concentrations of MDA. Renal tubular reabsorption rates were altered on admission. The patient received renal replacement therapy over 50 to 70 h of normalized plasma amino acid concentrations and their tubular reabsorption, as well as the tubular reabsorption of nitrite and nitrate. This study indicates that GC-MS is a versatile analytical tool to measure different classes of physiological inorganic and organic substances in complex biological samples in clinical settings such as MALA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between oxidative stress in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) and the clinical characteristics of severe MPP (SMPP) and refractory MPP (RMPP). METHODS Clinical and BALF-related data were collected from 83 patients with MPP, of which 29 had SMPP and 54 had general MPP (GMPP); 37 patients were in the RMPP group and 46 in the non-RMPP group. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) as well as the activity levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in BALF were detected. Logistic regression analyses were performed on MDA, AOPP, SOD, GSH-PX, gender, heat peak, neutrophil percentage, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, d-dimer, lung consolidation, sputum embolus, and pleural effusion. RESULTS The levels of MDA and AOPP in the BALF of the MPP group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < .05), whereas SOD and GSH-PX levels were lower than those in the control group (p < .05). The BALF AOPP levels in the RMPP group were higher than those in the non-RMPP group, and the SOD and GSH-PX levels in the BALF were lower than those in the non-RMPP group; the difference was statistically significant (p < .05). The levels of MDA and AOPP in the BALF of children in the SMPP group were higher than those in the GMPP group, and the levels of SOD and GSH-PX were lower than those in the GMPP group, with statistically significant differences (p < .05). The C-index of the logistic regression model was 0.960 (95% confidence interval 0.958-0.963), which indicates that the model has good predictive ability. CONCLUSION Advanced oxidation protein products may be a marker for predicting the conditions of SMPP and RMPP, and the prediction model can assess the risk of progression in children to RMPP, which is conducive to clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High temperatures significantly affect the growth, development, and yield of plants. Anoectochilus roxburghii prefers a cool and humid environment, intolerant of high temperatures. It is necessary to enhance the heat tolerance of A. roxburghii and breed heat-tolerant varieties. Therefore, we studied the physiological indexes and transcriptome of A. roxburghii under different times of high-temperature stress treatments. RESULTS Under high-temperature stress, proline (Pro), H2O2 content increased, then decreased, then increased again, catalase (CAT) activity increased continuously, peroxidase (POD) activity decreased rapidly, then increased, then decreased again, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), and soluble sugars (SS) content all decreased, then increased, and chlorophyll and soluble proteins (SP) content increased, then decreased. Transcriptomic investigation indicated that a total of 2740 DEGs were identified and numerous DEGs were notably enriched for "Plant-pathogen interaction" and "Plant hormone signal transduction". We identified a total of 32 genes in these two pathways that may be the key genes for resistance to high-temperature stress in A. roxburghii. CONCLUSIONS To sum up, the results of this study provide a reference for the molecular regulation of A. roxburghii's tolerance to high temperatures, which is useful for further cultivation of high-temperature-tolerant A. roxburghii varieties.

Abstract
Increasing the seed germination potential and seedling growth rates play a pivotal role in increasing overall crop productivity. Seed germination and early vegetative (seedling) growth are critical developmental stages in plants. High-power microwave (HPM) technology has facilitated both the emergence of novel applications and improvements to existing in agriculture. The implications of pulsed HPM on agriculture remain unexplored. In this study, we have investigated the effects of pulsed HPM exposure on barley germination and seedling growth, elucidating the plausible underlying mechanisms. Barley seeds underwent direct HPM irradiation, with 60 pulses by 2.04 mJ/pulse, across three distinct irradiation settings: dry, submerged in deionized (DI) water, and submerged in DI water one day before exposure. Seed germination significantly increased in all HPM-treated groups, where the HPM-dry group exhibited a notable increase, with a 2.48-fold rise at day 2 and a 1.9-fold increment at day 3. Similarly, all HPM-treated groups displayed significant enhancements in water uptake, and seedling growth (weight and length), as well as elevated levels of chlorophyll, carotenoids, and total soluble protein content. The obtained results indicate that when comparing three irradiation setting, HPM-dry showed the most promising effects. Condition HPM seed treatment increases the level of reactive species within the barley seedlings, thereby modulating plant biochemistry, physiology, and different cellular signaling cascades via induced enzymatic activities. Notably, the markers associated with plant growth are upregulated and growth inhibitory markers are downregulated post-HPM exposure. Under optimal HPM-dry treatment, auxin (IAA) levels increased threefold, while ABA levels decreased by up to 65 %. These molecular findings illuminate the intricate regulatory mechanisms governing phenotypic changes in barley seedlings subjected to HPM treatment. The results of this study might play a key role to understand molecular mechanisms after pulsed-HPM irradiation of seeds, contributing significantly to address the global need of sustainable crop yield.

Functional Characterization of the Soybean Glycine max Actin Depolymerization Factor GmADF13 for Plant Resistance to Drought Stress. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1651.

Abstract
Abiotic stress significantly affects plant growth and has devastating effects on crop production. Drought stress is one of the main abiotic stressors. Actin is a major component of the cytoskeleton, and actin-depolymerizing factors (ADFs) are conserved actin-binding proteins in eukaryotes that play critical roles in plant responses to various stresses. In this study, we found that GmADF13, an ADF gene from the soybean Glycine max, showed drastic upregulation under drought stress. Subcellular localization experiments in tobacco epidermal cells and tobacco protoplasts showed that GmADF13 was localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. We characterized its biological function in transgenic Arabidopsis and hairy root composite soybean plants. Arabidopsis plants transformed with GmADF13 displayed a more robust drought tolerance than wild-type plants, including having a higher seed germination rate, longer roots, and healthy leaves under drought conditions. Similarly, GmADF13-overexpressing (OE) soybean plants generated via the Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of the hairy roots showed an improved drought tolerance. Leaves from OE plants showed higher relative water, chlorophyll, and proline contents, had a higher antioxidant enzyme activity, and had decreased malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide anion levels compared to those of control plants. Furthermore, under drought stress, GmADF13 OE activated the transcription of several drought-stress-related genes, such as GmbZIP1, GmDREB1A, GmDREB2, GmWRKY13, and GmANK114. Thus, GmADF13 is a positive regulator of the drought stress response, and it may play an essential role in plant growth under drought stress conditions. These results provide new insights into the functional elucidation of soybean ADFs. They may be helpful for breeding new soybean cultivars with a strong drought tolerance and further understanding how ADFs help plants adapt to abiotic stress.

Abstract
In chronic kidney disease (CKD), renal fibrosis is an unavoidable result of various manifestations. However, its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood. Here, we revealed the novel role of Homeobox D10 (HOXD10) in CKD-related fibrosis. HOXD10 expression was downregulated in CKD-related in vitro and in vivo fibrosis models. UUO model mice were administered adeno-associated virus (AAV) containing HOXD10, and HOXD10 overexpression plasmids were introduced into human proximal tubular epithelial cells induced by TGF-β1. The levels of iron, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid ROS, the oxidized glutathione/total glutathione (GSSG/GSH) ratio, malonaldehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined using respective assay kits. Treatment with AAV-HOXD10 significantly attenuated fibrosis and renal dysfunction in UUO model mice by inhibiting NOX4 transcription, ferroptosis pathway activation, and oxidative stress. High levels of NOX4 transcription, ferroptosis pathway activation and profibrotic gene expression induced by TGF-β1/erastin (a ferroptosis agonist) were abrogated by HOXD10 overexpression in HK-2 cells. Moreover, bisulfite sequencing PCR result determined that HOXD10 showed a hypermethylated level in TGF-β1-treated HK-2 cells. The binding of HOXD10 to the NOX4 promoter was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assays. Targeting HOXD10 may represent an innovative therapeutic strategy for fibrosis treatment in CKD.

Quantifying reactive aldehyde biomarkers, such as malondialdehyde, acrolein, and crotonaldehyde, is the most preferred approach to determine oxidative stress. However, reported analytical methods lack specificity for accurately quantifying these aldehydes as certain methodologies may produce false positive results due to harsh experimental conditions. Thus, in this research work, a novel HILIC-MS/MS method with endogenous histidine derivatization is developed, which proves to have higher specificity and reproducibility in quantifying these aldehydes from the biological matrix. To overcome the reactivity of aldehyde, endogenous histidine is used for its derivatization. The generated adduct is orthogonally characterized by NMR and LC-HRMS. The method employed a hydrophilic HILIC column and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) to accurately quantify these reactive aldehydes. The developed method is an unequivocal solution for quantifying stress in in vivo and in vitro studies.

Liu Z, Bian Q, Wang D. Exposure to 6-PPD quinone causes ferroptosis activation associated with induction of reproductive toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134356. [PMID: 38643579 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Exposure to N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone (6-PPDQ) caused toxicity on Caenorhabditis elegans, including reproductive toxicity. However, the underlying mechanisms for this induced reproductive toxicity by 6-PPDQ remain largely unclear. We examined possible association of ferroptosis activation with reproductive toxicity of 6-PPDQ. In 1-100 μg/L 6-PPDQ exposed nematodes, Fe2+ content was increased, which was accompanied with enhanced lipid peroxidation, increased malonydialdehyde (MDA) content, and decreased L-glutathione (GSH) content. Exposure to 1-100 μg/L 6-PPDQ decreased expressions of ftn-1 encoding ferritin, ads-1 encoding AGPS, and gpx-6 encoding GPX4 and increased expression of bli-3 encoding dual oxidase. After 6-PPDQ exposure, RNAi of ftn-1 decreased ads-1 and gpx-6 expressions and increased bli-3 expression. RNAi of ftn-1, ads-1, and gpx-6 strengthened alterations in ferroptosis related indicators, and RNAi of bli-3 suppressed changes of ferroptosis related indicators in 6-PPDQ exposed nematodes. Meanwhile, RNAi of ftn-1, ads-1, and gpx-6 induced susceptibility, and RNAi of bli-3 caused resistance to 6-PPDQ reproductive toxicity. Moreover, expressions of DNA damage checkpoint genes (clk-2, mrt-2, and hus-1) could be increased by RNAi of ftn-1, ads-1, and gpx-6 in 6-PPDQ exposed nematodes. Therefore, our results demonstrated activation of ferroptosis in nematodes exposed to 6-PPDQ at environmentally relevant concentrations, and this ferroptosis activation was related to reproductive toxicity of 6-PPDQ.

Relationship between jejunum ATPase activity and antioxidant function on the growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, and jejunum microbiota in Hu sheep (Ovis aries). BMC Vet Res 2024; 20:242.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ATPase activity and the antioxidant function of intestinal tissue can reflect intestinal cell metabolic activity and oxidative damage, which might be related to intestinal function. However, the specific influence of intestinal ATPase activity and antioxidant function on growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, and the intestinal microbiota in sheep remains unclear. RESULTS This study analyzed the correlation between ATPase activity and antioxidant function in the jejunum of 92 Hu sheep and their growth performance and feed conversion efficiency. Additionally, individuals with the highest (H group) and lowest (L group) jejunum MDA content and Na+ K+-ATPase activity were further screened, and the effects of jejunum ATPase activity and MDA content on the morphology and microbial community of sheep intestines were analyzed. There was a significant correlation between jejunum ATPase and SOD activity and the initial weight of Hu sheep (P < 0.01). The H-MDA group exhibited significantly higher average daily gain (ADG) from 0 to 80 days old and higher body weight (BW) after 80 days. ATPase and SOD activities, and MDA levels correlated significantly and positively with heart weight. The jejunum crypt depth and circular muscle thickness in the H-ATP group were significantly higher than in the L-ATP group, and the villus length, crypt depth, and longitudinal muscle thickness in the H-MDA group were significantly higher than in the L-MDA group (P < 0.01). High ATPase activity and MDA content significantly reduced the jejunum microbial diversity, as indicated by the Chao1 index and observed species, and affected the relative abundance of specific taxa. Among species, the relative abundance of Olsenella umbonata was significantly higher in the H-MDA group than in the L-MDA group (P < 0.05), while Methanobrevibacter ruminantium abundance was significantly lower than in the L-MDA group (P < 0.05). In vitro culture experiments confirmed that MDA promoted the proliferation of Olsenella umbonata. Thus, ATPase and SOD activities in the jejunum tissues of Hu sheep are predominantly influenced by congenital factors, and lambs with higher birth weights exhibit lower Na+ K+-ATPase, Ca2+ Mg2+-ATPase, and SOD activities. CONCLUSIONS The ATPase activity and antioxidant performance of intestinal tissue are closely related to growth performance, heart development, and intestinal tissue morphology. High ATPase activity and MDA content reduced the microbial diversity of intestinal tissue and affect the relative abundance of specific taxa, representing a potential interaction between the host and its intestinal microbiota.

Redox homeostasis in human renal cells that had been treated with amphotericin B in combination with selected 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. Pharmacol Rep 2024; 76:557-571.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of amphotericin B (AmB) in the therapy of systemic mycosis is associated with strong side effects, including nephrotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity. Therefore, agents that can reduce the toxic effects of AmB while acting synergistically as antifungal agents are currently being sought. 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives are promising compounds that have an antifungal activity and act synergically with AmB. Such combinations might allow the dose of AmB, which is essential for preventing patients from having serious side effects, to be decreased. This might result from the antioxidant properties of 1,3,4-thiadiazoles. Thus, the aim of the study was to investigate redox homeostasis in human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTEC) after they had been treated with AmB in combination with 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives. METHODS Cellular redox homeostasis was assessed by investigating the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of cells, the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, and the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT). TAC was measured using an ABTS method. The MDA concentration, and the activity of SOD, GPX, and CAT were determined spectrophotometrically using commercially available assays. Additionally, the antioxidant defense system-related gene expression profile was determined using oligonucleotide microarrays (HG-U133A 2.0). Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to confirm the microarray results. RESULTS Amphotericin B and selected 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives had a significant effect on the total antioxidant capacity of the RPTEC cells, and the activity of the antioxidant enzymes. We also revealed that the effect of thiadiazoles on the SOD and CAT activities is dependent on the treatment of RPTEC cells with AmB. At the transcriptional level, the expression of several genes was affected by the studied compounds and their combinations. CONCLUSIONS The results confirmed that thiadiazoles can stimulate the RPTEC cells to defend against the oxidative stress that is generated by AmB. In addition, together with the previously demonstrated synergistic antifungal activity, and low nephrotoxicity, these compounds have the potential to be used in new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of fungal infections.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a critical global health challenge, with current treatments limited by the complex MI microenvironment, particularly the excessive oxidative stress and intense inflammatory responses that exacerbate cardiac dysfunction and MI progression. Herein, a mannan-based nanomedicine, Que@MOF/Man, is developed to target the inflammatory infarcted heart and deliver the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory agent quercetin (Que), thereby facilitating a beneficial myocardial microenvironment for cardiac repair. The presence of mannan on the nanoparticle surface enables selective internalization by macrophages rather than cardiomyocytes. Que@MOF/Man effectively neutralizes reactive oxygen species in macrophages to reduce oxidative stress and promote their differentiation into a reparative phenotype, reconciling the inflammatory response and enhancing cardiomyocyte survival through intercellular communication. Owing to the recruitment of macrophages into inflamed myocardium post-MI, in vivo, administration of Que@MOF/Man in MI rats revealed the specific distribution into the injured myocardium compared to free Que. Furthermore, Que@MOF/Man exhibited favorable results in resolving inflammation and protecting cardiomyocytes, thereby preventing further myocardial remodeling and improving cardiac function in MI rats. These findings collectively validate the rational design of an inflammation-targeted delivery strategy to mitigate oxidative stress and modulate the inflammation response in the injured heart, presenting a therapeutic avenue for MI treatment.

Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a complex degradation process with a dual role in cell death that is influenced by the cell types that are involved and the stressors they are exposed to. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent oxidative form of cell death characterized by unrestricted lipid peroxidation in the context of heterogeneous and plastic mechanisms. Recent studies have shed light on the involvement of specific types of autophagy (e.g. ferritinophagy, lipophagy, and clockophagy) in initiating or executing ferroptotic cell death through the selective degradation of anti-injury proteins or organelles. Conversely, other forms of selective autophagy (e.g. reticulophagy and lysophagy) enhance the cellular defense against ferroptotic damage. Dysregulated autophagy-dependent ferroptosis has implications for a diverse range of pathological conditions. This review aims to present an updated definition of autophagy-dependent ferroptosis, discuss influential substrates and receptors, outline experimental methods, and propose guidelines for interpreting the results.Abbreviation: 3-MA:3-methyladenine; 4HNE: 4-hydroxynonenal; ACD: accidentalcell death; ADF: autophagy-dependentferroptosis; ARE: antioxidant response element; BH2:dihydrobiopterin; BH4: tetrahydrobiopterin; BMDMs: bonemarrow-derived macrophages; CMA: chaperone-mediated autophagy; CQ:chloroquine; DAMPs: danger/damage-associated molecular patterns; EMT,epithelial-mesenchymal transition; EPR: electronparamagnetic resonance; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; FRET: Försterresonance energy transfer; GFP: green fluorescent protein;GSH: glutathione;IF: immunofluorescence; IHC: immunohistochemistry; IOP, intraocularpressure; IRI: ischemia-reperfusion injury; LAA: linoleamide alkyne;MDA: malondialdehyde; PGSK: Phen Green™ SK;RCD: regulatedcell death; PUFAs: polyunsaturated fatty acids; RFP: red fluorescentprotein;ROS: reactive oxygen species; TBA: thiobarbituricacid; TBARS: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances; TEM:transmission electron microscopy.

Long-term tributyltin exposure alters behavior, oocyte maturation, and histomorphology of the ovary due to oxidative stress in adult zebrafish. Reprod Toxicol 2024; 126:108600. [PMID: 38670349 DOI: 10.1016/j.reprotox.2024.108600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Tributyltin (TBT), an organotin endocrine-disrupting substance, is recognized as one of the important toxic environmental pollutants. The present study was carried out to investigate the toxic effects of TBT on behavior and the ovary of adult zebrafish with a focus on oxidative stress markers and oocyte maturation. Adult zebrafish were exposed to three different concentrations (125, 250, and 500 ng/L of water) of TBT for 28 days. TBT exposure produced a concentration-dependent negative effect on the body weight and behavior (anxiety-like symptoms) of adult zebrafish. Alterations in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), the total antioxidant capacity of ovarian tissue by the highest exposure level of TBT resulted in lipid peroxidation as indicated by increased malondialdehyde (MDA) level. The numbers of early-vitellogenic oocytes were significantly increased in zebrafish exposed to TBT as low as 125 ng/L. However, the numbers and size of fully-grown (mature) oocytes were significantly reduced in the highest exposure group only. Correlation between the MDA level and pre-vitellogenic oocytes in the 500 ng/L group indicated that lipid peroxidation prevented the maturation of pre-vitellogenic oocytes. TBT exposure produced significant histological changes in the ovary as evidenced by disturbed maturation of oocytes. In conclusion, TBT adversely affected the maturation of oocytes in zebrafish ovary through oxidative stress-mediated mechanisms.

Animal Model Exp Med 2024; 7:275-282.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Around the world, there is a high incidence of gastric ulcers. YS, an extract from the Chinese herb Albizzia chinensis (Osbeck) Merr, has potential therapeutic applications for gastrointestinal diseases. Here we elucidated the protective effect and underlying mechanism of action of YS on gastric ulcer in rats injured by ethanol. METHODS The ethanol-induced gastric ulcer rat model was used to assess the protective effect of YS. A pathological examination of gastric tissue was performed by H&E staining. GES-1 cells damaged by hydrogen peroxide were used to simulate oxidative damage in gastric mucosal epithelial cells. Endogenous NRF2 was knocked down using small interfering RNA. Immunoprecipitation was used to detect ubiquitination of NRF2. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to detect the NRF2-Keap1 interaction. RESULTS YS (10 and 30 mg/kg, i.g.) significantly reduced the ulcer index, decreased MDA level, and increased SOD and GSH levels in gastric tissues damaged by ethanol. YS promoted NRF2 translocation from cytoplasm to nucleus and enhanced the NQO1 and HO-1 expression levels in injured rat gastric tissue. In addition, YS regulated NQO1 and HO-1 via NRF2 in H2O2-induced oxidative injured GES-1 cells. Further studies on the underlying mechanism indicated that YS reduced the interaction between NRF2 and Keap1 and decreased ubiquitylation of NRF2, thereby increasing its stability and expression of downstream factors. NRF2 knockdown abolished the effect of YS on MDA and SOD in GES-1 cells treated with H2O2. CONCLUSION YS reduced the NRF2-Keap1 interaction, promoting NRF2 translocation into the nucleus, which increasing the transcription and translation of NQO1 and HO-1 and improved the antioxidant capacity of rat stomach.

Associations of global biomarkers of oxidative stress with osteoporosis, bone microstructure and bone turnover: Evidence from human and animal studies. Bone 2024; 183:117077. [PMID: 38521234 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Human evidence on the association between oxidative stress and osteoporosis is inconsistent. Fluorescent Oxidation Products (FlOPs) are global biomarkers of oxidative stress. We examined the associations of FlOPs (excitation/emission wavelengths 320/420 nm for FlOP_320, 360/420 nm for FlOP_360, and 400/475 nm for FlOP_400) with osteoporosis, bone microstructure, and bone turnover markers in humans and rats. METHODS In humans, we conducted a 1:2 age, sex, hospital, and specimen-matched case-control study to test the association between FlOPs and osteoporosis diagnosed from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. In eight-week-old male Wistar rats, we administrated D-galactose and 0.9 % saline for 90 days in treatment and control groups (n = 8/group); micro-CT was used to determine bone microstructure. RESULTS In humans, higher levels of FlOP_320 (OR for per 1 SD increase = 1.49, 95 % CI: 1.01-2.20) and FlOP_360 (OR for per 1 SD increase = 1.59, 95 % CI: 1.07-2.37) were associated with increased odds of osteoporosis. FlOP_400 were not associated with osteoporosis. D-galactose treated rats, as compared with control rats, showed higher levels of FlOP_320 and MDA, and lower P1NP levels during 90 days of experiment (all P < 0.05). The D-galactose group had lower trabecular bone volume fraction (0.07 ± 0.03 vs. 0.13 ± 0.05; P = 0.008) and volumetric BMD (225.4 ± 13.8 vs. 279.1 ± 33.2 mg HA/cm3; P = 0.001) than the control group. CONCLUSION In conclusion, higher FlOP_320 levels were associated with increased odds of osteoporosis, impaired bone microstructure and decreased bone formation.

Ziyanok-Demirtas S. Therapeutic potentials of Hibiscus trionum: Antioxidant, anti-lipid peroxidative, hypoglycemic, and hepatoprotective effects in type 1 diabetic rats. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116630. [PMID: 38677247 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116630] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Recent advances in diabetes treatment have primarily focused on insulin and hypoglycemic agents; however, there is growing interest in exploring herbal and synthetic alternatives. Numerous studies have highlighted the preventive effectiveness of regular plant consumption in managing chronic conditions, particularly diabetes. Hibiscus, a medicinal plant recognized in various cultures, is known for its diverse health benefits. This study investigated the impact of Hibiscus trionum on glycemic control and assessed its influence on glucose and insulin levels in diabetes-induced rats. The concentrations of antioxidant enzymes, particularly superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), were scrutinized across multiple body tissues (plasma, heart, muscle, liver, and kidney). The malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, an indicator of lipid peroxidation, was examined in both plasma and tissue samples. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were evaluated. Diabetic Group (D) exhibited a significant decrease in body weight, increased fluid and food consumption, elevated blood glucose levels, and increased antioxidant enzyme activity. Moreover, the diabetic group also showed increased levels of MDA, TC, TG, AST, and ALT, along with reduced insulin levels, compared to the control group. A substantial improvement in all parameters impaired by diabetes was observed following the application of Hibiscus trionum (HTT) in the Diabetes+HTT group. The antioxidative stress-reducing, lipid peroxidation-improving, and hepatoprotective potential of Hibiscus trionum in mitigating diabetes-induced oxidative stress is noteworthy. These findings indicate that HTT supplementation has valuable beneficial effects in protecting against the harmful impacts of diabetes.
