Sharallah OA, Poddar NK, Alwadan OA. Delineation of the role of G6PD in Alzheimer's disease and potential enhancement through microfluidic and nanoparticle approaches. Ageing Res Rev 2024; 99:102394. [PMID: 38950868 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102394] [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: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative pathologic entity characterized by the abnormal presence of tau and macromolecular Aβ deposition that leads to the degeneration or death of neurons. In addition to that, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) has a multifaceted role in the process of AD development, where it can be used as both a marker and a target. G6PD activity is dysregulated due to its contribution to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neuronal death. In this context, the current review presents a vivid depiction of recent findings on the relationship between AD progression and changes in the expression or activity of G6PD. The efficacy of the proposed G6PD-based therapeutics has been demonstrated in multiple studies using AD mouse models as representative animal model systems for cognitive decline and neurodegeneration associated with this disease. Innovative therapeutic insights are made for the boosting of G6PD activity via novel innovative nanotechnology and microfluidics tools in drug administration technology. Such approaches provide innovative methods of surpassing the blood-brain barrier, targeting step-by-step specific neural pathways, and overcoming biochemical disturbances that accompany AD. Using different nanoparticles loaded with G6DP to target specific organs, e.g., G6DP-loaded liposomes, enhances BBB penetration and brain distribution of G6DP. Many nanoparticles, which are used for different purposes, are briefly discussed in the paper. Such methods to mimic BBB on organs on-chip offer precise disease modeling and drug testing using microfluidic chips, requiring lower sample amounts and producing faster findings compared to conventional techniques. There are other contributions to microfluid in AD that are discussed briefly. However, there are some limitations accompanying microfluidics that need to be worked on to be used for AD. This study aims to bridge the gap in understanding AD with the synergistic use of promising technologies; microfluid and nanotechnology for future advancements.

Chalella Mazzocato M, Jacquier JC. Recent Advances and Perspectives on Food-Grade Immobilisation Systems for Enzymes. Foods 2024; 13:2127. [PMID: 38998633 PMCID: PMC11241248 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132127] [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: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The use of enzyme immobilisation is becoming increasingly popular in beverage processing, as this method offers significant advantages, such as enhanced enzyme performance and expanded applications, while allowing for easy process termination via simple filtration. This literature review analysed approximately 120 articles, published on the Web of Science between 2000 and 2023, focused on enzyme immobilisation systems for beverage processing applications. The impact of immobilisation on enzymatic activity, including the effects on the chemical and kinetic properties, recyclability, and feasibility in continuous processes, was evaluated. Applications of these systems to beverage production, such as wine, beer, fruit juices, milk, and plant-based beverages, were examined. The immobilisation process effectively enhanced the pH and thermal stability but caused negative impacts on the kinetic properties by reducing the maximum velocity and Michaelis-Menten constant. However, it allowed for multiple reuses and facilitated continuous flow processes. The encapsulation also allowed for easy process control by simplifying the removal of the enzymes from the beverages via simple filtration, negating the need for expensive heat treatments, which could result in product quality losses.

Abstract
Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) is a plant native in the Amazon rainforest in South America known for its edible seeds, which are rich in lipids, proteins, vitamin E, polyphenols, minerals, and amino acids. Rural communities in developing nations have been using this plant for its health benefits, including as a topical cream for rejuvenating and revitalising skin and as a treatment for muscle pain and rheumatism. Although Sacha Inchi oil has been applied topically to soften skin, treat skin diseases, and heal wounds, its protein-rich seeds have not yet received proper attention for extensive investigation. Proteins in Sacha Inchi seeds are generally known to have antioxidant and antifungal activities and are extensively used nowadays in making protein-rich food alternatives worldwide. Notably, large-scale use of seed proteins has begun in nanoparticle and biofusion technologies related to the human health-benefitting sector. To extract and identify their proteins, the current study examined Sacha Inchi seeds collected from the Malaysian state of Kedah. Our analysis revealed a protein concentration of 73.8 ± 0.002 mg/g of freeze-dried seed flour. Employing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and PEAKS studio analysis, we identified 217 proteins in the seed extract, including 152 with known proteins and 65 unknown proteins. This study marks a significant step towards comprehensively investigating the protein composition of Sacha Inchi seeds and elucidating their potential applications in the food and biopharmaceutical sectors. Our discoveries not only enhance our knowledge of Sacha Inchi's nutritional characteristics but also pave the way for prospective research and innovative advancements in the realms of functional food and health-related domains.

Abstract
Efficient magnetic solid phase extraction using crystalline porous polymers can find important applications in food safety. Herein, the core-shell Fe3O4@COFs nanospheres were synthesized by one-pot method and characterized in detail. The porous COF shell with large surface area had fast and selective adsorption for propylparaben via π-π, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The extraction and desorption parameters were evaluated in detail. Under the optimized conditions, the extraction equilibrium was reached only in 5 min, the maximum adsorption capacity for propylparaben was 500 mg g-1 and the proposed Fe3O4@DhaTab-based-MSPE-HPLC-UV method afforded good linearity (4-20000 μg mL-1) with R2 (0.997), low limits of detection (0.55 μg L-1) and limits of quantification (1.5 μg L-1). Furthermore, the developed method was applied to determine propylparaben in soft drinks with the recoveries (97.0-98.3%) and relative standard deviations (0.61 to 3.75%). These results revealed the potential of Fe3O4@DhaTab as efficient adsorbents for parabens in food samples.

Abstract
Covalent organic framework (COF)-decorated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@DhaTab) with core-shell structure have been synthesized by one-pot method. The prepared Fe3O4@DhaTab was well characterized, and parameters of magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) for parabens were also investigated in detail. Under optimized conditions, the adsorbent dosage was only 3 mg and extraction time was 10 min. The developed Fe3O4@DhaTab-based MSPE-HPLC analysis method offered good linearity (0.01-20 μg mL-1) with R2 (0.999) and low limits of detection (3.3-6.5 μg L-1) using UV detector at 254 nm. The proposed method was applied to determine four parabens in environmental water samples with recoveries in the range 64.0-105% and relative standard deviations of 0.16-7.8%. The adsorption mechanism was explored and indicated that porous DhaTab shell provided π-π, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bonding interactions in the MSPE process. The results revealed the potential of magnetic-functionalized COFs in determination of environmental contaminants.

Abstract
Herein, four novel and bio-based hydrogel samples using sodium alginate (SA) and chitosan (CH) grafted with acrylamide (AAm) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and their reinforced nanocomposites with graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized and coded as SA-g-(AAm-co-GMA), CH-g-(AAm-co-GMA), GO/SA-g-(AAm-co-GMA), and GO/CH-g-(AAm-co-GMA), respectively. The morphology, net charge, and water absorption capacity of samples were entirely changed by switching the biopolymer from SA to CH and adding a nano-filler. The proficiencies of hydrogels were compared in the immobilization of a model metagenomic-derived xylanase (PersiXyn9). The best performance was observed for GO/SA-g-poly(AAm-co-GMA) sample indicating better stabilizing electrostatic attractions between PersiXyn9 and reinforced SA-based hydrogel. Compared to the free enzyme, the immobilized PersiXyn9 on reinforced SA-based hydrogel showed a 110.1% increase in the released reducing sugar and almost double relative activity after 180 min storage. While immobilized enzyme on SA-based hydrogel displayed 58.7% activity after twelve reuse cycles, the enzyme on CH-based carrier just retained 8.5% activity after similar runs.

Abstract
The separation and purification of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins is a fundamental and challenging step in the biotechnology industry. Hierarchical nanostructures with unique features and high stability can be used as efficient adsorbents. In this study, hierarchical magnetic polydopamine-copper phosphate nanoflowers (Cu-PDA MNFs) were synthesized as high-performance magnetic adsorbents in a simple and low-cost method based on green chemistry. The prepared hybrid Cu-PDA MNFs revealed great performance for separating pure recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) and the rhGH acquired from recombinant Pichia pastoris yeast fermentation. The analysis confirmed that Cu-PDA MNFs exhibited a high adsorption capacity of 257.4 mg rhGH g-1 Cu-PDA MNFs and a fast adsorption rate for approaching the adsorption equilibrium within less than 30 min with a recovery efficiency of 74% of rhGH from the real sample. In addition, recycling tests demonstrated the stability and recyclability of Cu-PDA MNFs for at least six cycles with almost constant adsorption capacity and no toxicity. Based on these results, Cu-PDA MNFs could be considered as a promising candidate for separation and purification of rhGH. This work presents a new approach to using organic-inorganic nanoflowers as the hierarchical nanostructure for purification of pharmaceutical proteins with high performance.
