[PMID: 33130048 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2020.109305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Erythrocytes (RBCs) represent the main cell component in circulation and recently have become a topic of intensive scientific interest. The relevance of erythrocytes as a model for cytotoxicity screening of xenobiotics is under the spotlight of this review. Erythrocytes constitute a fundamental cellular model to study potential interactions with blood components of manifold novel polymer or biomaterials. Morphological changes, subsequent disruption of RBC membrane integrity, and hemolysis could be used to determine the cytotoxicity of various compounds. Erythrocytes undergo a programmed death (eryptosis) which could serve as a good model for evaluating certain mechanisms which correspond to apoptosis taking place in nucleated cells. Importantly, erythrocytes can be successfully used as a valuable cellular model in examination of oxidative stress generated by certain diseases or multiple xenobiotics since red cells are subjected to permanent oxidative stress. Additionally, the antioxidant capacity of erythrocytes, and the activity of anti-oxidative enzymes could reflect reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating properties of various substances and allow to determine their effects on tissues. The last part of this review presents the latest findings on the possible application of RBCs as drug delivery systems (DDS). In conclusion, all these findings make erythrocytes highly valuable cells for in vitro biocompatibility assessment, cytotoxicity screening of a wide variety of substances as well as drug delivery.

Abstract
Lithium as a mood stabilizer has been used as the standard pharmacological treatment for Bipolar Disorder (BD) for more than 60 years. Recent studies have also shown that it has the potential for the treatment of many other neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, through its neurotrophic, neuroprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. Therefore, exploring its pharmacokinetic features and designing better lithium preparations are becoming important research topics. We reviewed many studies on the pharmacokinetics, drug design and toxicity of lithium based on recent relevant research from PubMed, Web of Science, Elsevier and Springer databases. Keywords used for searching references were lithium, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, drug design and toxicity. Lithium is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Its level is initially highest in serum and then is evidently redistributed to various tissue compartments. It is not metabolized and over 95% of lithium is excreted unchanged through the kidney, but different lithium preparations may have different pharmacokinetic features. Lithium has a narrow therapeutic window limited by various adverse effects, but some novel drugs of lithium may overcome these problems. Various formulations of lithium have the potential for treating neurodegenerative brain diseases but further study on their pharmacokinetics will be required in order to determine the optimal formulation, dosage and route of administration.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) is a typical mood stabilizer and the first choice for treatment of bipolar disorder (BD). Despite an extensive clinical use of Li, its mechanisms of action remain widely different and debated. In this work, we studied the time-course of the therapeutic Li effects on ouabain-sensitive Na+/K+-ATPase in forebrain cortex and hippocampus of rats exposed to 3-day sleep deprivation (SD). We also monitored lipid peroxidation as malondialdehyde (MDA) production. In samples of plasma collected from all experimental groups of animals, Li concentrations were followed by ICP-MS. The acute (1 day), short-term (7 days) and chronic (28 days) treatment of rats with Li resulted in large decrease of Na+/K+-ATPase activity in both brain parts. At the same time, SD of control, Li-untreated rats increased Na+/K+-ATPase along with increased production of MDA. The SD-induced increase of Na+/K+-ATPase and MDA was attenuated in Li-treated rats. While SD results in a positive change of Na+/K+-ATPase, the inhibitory effect of Li treatment may be interpreted as a pharmacological mechanism causing a normalization of the stress-induced shift and return the Na+/K+-ATPase back to control level. We conclude that SD alone up-regulates Na+/K+-ATPase together with increased peroxidative damage of lipids. Chronic treatment of rats with Li before SD, protects the brain tissue against this type of damage and decreases Na+/K+-ATPase level back to control level.

Abstract
:
Lithium is the smallest monovalent cation with many different biological effects.
Although lithium is present in the pharmacotherapy of psychiatric illnesses for decades, its
precise mechanism of action is still not clarified. Today lithium represents first-line therapy
for bipolar disorders (because it possesses both antimanic and antidepressant properties) and
the adjunctive treatment for major depression (due to its antisuicidal effects). Beside, lithium
showed some protective effects in neurological diseases including acute neural injury, chronic
degenerative conditions, Alzheimer's disease as well as in treating leucopenia, hepatitis and
some renal diseases. Recent evidence suggested that lithium also possesses some anticancer
properties due to its inhibition of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) which is included
in the regulation of a lot of important cellular processes such as: glycogen metabolism,
inflammation, immunomodulation, apoptosis, tissue injury, regeneration etc.
:
Although recent evidence suggested a potential utility of lithium in different conditions, its
broader use in clinical practice still trails. The reason for this is a narrow therapeutic index of
lithium, numerous toxic effects in various organ systems and some clinically relevant interactions
with other drugs. Additionally, it is necessary to perform more preclinical as well as
clinical studies in order to a precise therapeutic range of lithium, as well as its detailed
mechanism of action. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge concerning
the pharmacological and toxicological effects of lithium.

Abstract
In the reported study we prepared gallic acid modified γ-AlOOH nanoparticles. We proposed mechanism of phenolic compounds binding on the alumina, suggesting covalent and electrostatic interactions. Most of the properties of alumina nanoparticles (NPs) are unchanged, but there is partial reduction of surface charge. Prepared samples are colloidally stable hydrosols. It allowed us to perform biological studies on cellular and non-cellular models, which showed nontoxicity of both pure and hybrid γ-AlOOH nanoparticles. Furthermore, pure alumina NPs exhibit antioxidant properties, which are enhanced after gallic acid immobilization on their surface. Also, hybrid alumina-gallic acid NPs showed membrane-protective activity.

Abstract
It is proposed that the specific reversal by serum albumin of the erythrocyte echinocytosis in an inorganic phosphate buffer saline or in a saline, either after 24 h in blood or after a storage of 6-7 weeks in SGAM or PAGGSM media, is due to a cell dehydration by a decrease of the total NaCl and KCl concentrations favoring the stomatocytogenic slow outward transport of inorganic phosphate with a hydrogen ion by band 3 anion exchanger, which was previously proposed to control the erythrocyte shape. This proposal would indicate that the opposition of the erythrocyte echinocytosis by serum albumin is not limited to binding to echinocytogenic amphiphiles, supported by the ability of the band 3-based mechanism of control of the erythrocyte shape to explain a variety of observations on the erythrocyte shape. It would also imply that this mechanism is a determinant of the erythrocyte rheological properties since influenced by cell shape and volume. It is shown that the above process of stomatocytosis can explain stomatocytoses by different agents as well as a knizocytosis induced in vitro and occurring in acquired and inherited disorders and other situations. Lastly, it can also explain the opposition of hemolysis by mannitol in SGAM and PAGGSM media.

Abstract
Background The human malaria parasite remains a burden in developing nations. It is responsible for up to one million deaths a year, a number that could rise due to increasing multi-drug resistance to all antimalarial drugs currently available. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the discovery of new drug therapies. Recently, our laboratory developed a simple one-step fluorescence-based live cell-imaging assay to integrate the complex biology of the human malaria parasite into drug discovery. Here we used our newly developed live cell-imaging platform to discover novel marine natural products and their cellular phenotypic effects against the most lethal malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Methods A high content live cell imaging platform was used to screen marine extracts effects on malaria. Parasites were grown in vitro in the presence of extracts, stained with RNA sensitive dye, and imaged at timed intervals with the BD Pathway HT automated confocal microscope. Results Image analysis validated our new methodology at a larger scale level and revealed potential antimalarial activity of selected extracts with a minimal cytotoxic effect on host red blood cells. To further validate our assay, we investigated parasite's phenotypes when incubated with the purified bioactive natural product bromophycolide A. We show that bromophycolide A has a strong and specific morphological effect on parasites, similar to the ones observed from the initial extracts. Conclusion Collectively, our results show that high-content live cell-imaging (HCLCI) can be used to screen chemical libraries and identify parasite specific inhibitors with limited host cytotoxic effects. All together we provide new leads for the discovery of novel antimalarials.

Abstract
In the paper, we present an improved method for evaluation of a compound ability to destabilize erythrocyte plasma membrane. The proposed method is based on the continuous monitoring of the light scattered by erythrocytes exposed to osmotic pressure differences. The kinetics of hemolysis depends on the plasma membrane mechanics and the extent of the osmotic stress. Generally, the osmotic pressure difference of approximately 150 mOsm is taken for measurements, as a result of the equal volume mixing with the physiological salt solutions. In this approach the hemolytic process completion is not established which may result in poor quality and reproducibility of the experimental data. In consequence, inaccurate parameters of the kinetic are determined due to the low quality fitting to the, widely used, single exponential model. In the paper we propose a new experimental protocol allowing to determine the extended set of parameters for kinetics of hemolysis. Namely, the method of the minimal osmotic pressure difference determination is proposed which ensures the completeness of the hemolytic process. This step allows improving the quality and exactness of the calculated parameters. The developed methodology was tested on two qualitatively different, biologically relevant, experiments; evaluation of the peptide effect on the plasma membrane properties and differentiating between human and rabbit erythrocytes.

Abstract
Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are widely used in medical applications. However, dendrimers bearing positively charged surface groups are prone to destabilize cell membrane and cause cell lysis. The lytic effect of dendrimers on red blood cells (RBCs) namely hemolysis is extremely dangerous when administered in vivo. To diminish the hematologic toxicity, we modified PAMAM dendrimers with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of three molecular weights (2k, 5k, and 20k). The protective effect of PEGylation against PAMAM dendrimer-induced hemolysis was studied. RBCs morphology and surface structure were analyzed by optical microscopy (OM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results indicated that PAMAM and PEG-2k modified dendrimers induced hemolysis at 0.1 and 0.5 mg/mL respectively, whereas PEG-5k and PEG-20k modified dendrimers showed no significant difference in hemolysis compared with control even at 5 mg/mL. OM and AFM investigation indicated PAMAM and PEG-2k modified dendrimers caused RBCs aggregation and lysis. However, no changes were observed in the overall shape of RBCs treated with PEG-5k and PEG-20k modified dendrimers. The surface roughness of RBCs treated with PEGylated dendrimers were far lower than that of RBCs treated with PAMAM dendrimers. This study demonstrated that hemocompatibility of PAMAM dendrimers could be greatly enhanced by PEGylation.
