Ali MS, Al-Lohedan HA, Bhati R, Muthukumaran J. Interaction of the lysozyme with anticoagulant drug warfarin: Spectroscopic and computational analyses. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30818. [PMID: 38784535 PMCID: PMC11112289 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Warfarin is a cardiovascular drug, used to treat or inhibit the coagulation of the blood. In this paper, we have studied the interaction of lysozyme with warfarin using several experimental (fluorescence, UV-visible and circular dichroism spectroscopies) and computational (molecular docking, molecular dynamics and DFT) approaches. Experimental studies have suggested that there was a strong interaction between lysozyme and warfarin. Inner filter effect played important role in fluorescence experimental data which show that the emission intensity of lysozyme decreased on the addition of warfarin, however, after inner filter effect correction the actual outcome turned out be the fluorescence enhancement. The extent of binding, increased with temperature rise. The interaction was primarily taken place via the dominance of hydrophobic forces. Small amount of warfarin didn't influence the secondary structure of lysozyme; however, the higher concentration of warfarin caused a decrease in the helicity of the protein and a consequent partial unfolding. Molecular docking studies were also performed which revealed that warfarin binds with lysozyme mainly with hydrophobic forces along with a significant contribution of hydrogen bonding. The flexibility of warfarin played important role in fitting the molecule into the binding pocket of lysozyme. Frontier molecular orbitals of warfarin, using DFT, in free as well as complexed form have also been calculated and discussed. Molecular dynamics simulations of unbound and warfarin bound lysozyme reveal a stable complex with slightly higher RMSD values in the presence of warfarin. Despite slightly increased RMSF values, the overall compactness and folding properties remain consistent, emphasizing strong binding towards lysozyme through the results obtained from intermolecular hydrogen bonding analysis. Essential dynamics analysis suggests warfarin induces slight structural changes without significantly altering the conformation, additionally supported by SASA patterns. Aside from the examination of global and essential motion, the MM/PBSA-based analysis of binding free energy elucidates the significant binding of warfarin to lysozyme, indicating a binding free energy of -13.3471 kcal/mol.

Impact of Dietary Egg Yolk IgY Powder on Behavior, Meat Quality, Physiology, and Intestinal Escherichia coli Colonization of Broiler Chicks. Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:783094. [PMID: 35425829 PMCID: PMC9004463 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.783094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The current study investigated the impact of different concentrations of purified egg yolk immunoglobulin Y (IgY) supplemental food on the growth performance, behaviors, cecal contents of Escherichia coli, and the meat quality of broiler chicks. Four dietary groups were given to 180 female Ross broiler chicks at random (n = 45 for each). The control group was fed a standard diet only, whereas the other three experimental groups were fed the same basic diet supplemented with 1,500, 3,000, and 4,000 μg/ml IgY for a duration of 42 days. Significant greater behavioral activities, including, feeding, drinking, and dust bathing (p < 0.05), in the birds fed 4,000 μg/ml of IgY compared to the control group were observed. Greater weight gains of the crop, proventriculus, gizzard, and intestine (p < 0.05) were observed for broiler chicks fed 4,000 μg/ml of IgY when compared to the control group. After 3 weeks of feeding, the groups fed 3,000 and 4,000 μg/ml IgY had significant lower E. coli counts in the muscle and cecal contents (p < 0.05) when compared to the control group. Moreover, dietary supplementation with 4,000 μg/ml IgY in the third week and 3,000 μg/ml IgY in the sixth week resulted in greater weight gain (p < 0.01) when compared to the control group. Also, at week 3, chicks fed 4,000 μg/ml of IgY had a lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). At week 6, chicks fed 3,000 μg/ml of IgY had lower FCR than the control (p < 0.05). The circulating heterophile/lymphocyte ratio was simply altered in birds fed variable IgY concentrations (1,500, 3,000, and 4,000 μg/ml), with no significant differences compared to the control group due to the individual resistance of each bird to physiological stress. The addition of 4,000 μg/ml IgY to the diet enhanced the nutritive value of meat, including protein, fat, and ash content (p < 0.05). Our study concluded that dietary supplementation of 3,000 and/or 4,000 μg/ml IgY improved the growth rates, behavioral activities, intestinal health indices, and meat quality of broiler chicks.

Abstract
Lysozyme is a ~14 kDa protein present in many mucosal secretions (tears, saliva, and mucus) and tissues of animals and plants, and plays an important role in the innate immunity, providing protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Three main different types of lysozymes are known: the c-type (chicken or conventional type), the g-type (goose type), and the i-type (invertebrate type). It has long been the subject of several applications due to its antimicrobial properties. The problem of antibiotic resistance has stimulated the search for new molecules or new applications of known compounds. The use of lysozyme as an alternative antibiotic is the subject of this review, which covers the results published over the past two decades. This review is focused on the applications of lysozyme in medicine, (the treatment of infectious diseases, wound healing, and anti-biofilm), veterinary, feed, food preservation, and crop protection. It is available from a wide range of sources, in addition to the well-known chicken egg white, and its synergism with other compounds, endowed with antimicrobial activity, are also summarized. An overview of the modified lysozyme applications is provided in the form of tables.

Abstract
The Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) is a commensal of the human skin, but also an opportunistic pathogen that contributes to the pathophysiology of the skin disease acne vulgaris. C. acnes can form biofilms; cells in biofilms are more resilient to antimicrobial stresses. Acne therapeutic options such as topical or systemic antimicrobial treatments often show incomplete responses. In this study we measured the efficacy of nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF), a new promising cell and tissue ablation technology, to inactivate C. acnes. Our results show that all tested nsPEF doses (250 to 2000 pulses, 280 ns pulses, 28 kV/cm, 5 Hz; 0.5 to 4 kJ/ml) failed to inactivate planktonic C. acnes and that pretreatment with lysozyme, a naturally occurring cell-wall-weakening enzyme, increased C. acnes vulnerability to nsPEF. Surprisingly, growth in a biofilm appears to sensitize C. acnes to nsPEF-induced stress, as C. acnes biofilm-derived cells showed increased cell death after nsPEF treatments that did not affect planktonic cells. Biofilm inactivation by nsPEF was confirmed by treating intact biofilms grown on glass coverslips with an indium oxide conductive layer. Altogether our results show that, contrary to other antimicrobial agents, nsPEF kill more efficiently bacteria in biofilms than planktonic cells.

Abstract
Hydrogels with controlled degradation and sustained bactericidal activities are promising biomaterial substrates to repair or regenerate the injured tissue. In this work, we present a unique pair of lysozyme and chitosan as a hydrogel that can promote cell growth and proliferation while concomitantly preventing infection during the gradual process of hydrogel degradation and tissue ingrowth. Lysozyme and chitosan containing cell adhesion motifs are chemically modified with photoreactive methacrylate moieties to obtain a crosslinked hydrogel network by visible light irradiation. The resulting lysozyme-chitosan conjugate successfully modulates the degradation rate of hydrogels while promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and matrix formation with no cytotoxicity. The hydrogel also exerts an intrinsic antibacterial effect by combining antimicrobial features of chitosan and lysozyme. This work demonstrates an advanced hydrogel platform with dual function of tunable degradation and infection control for tissue engineering and wound healing applications.

Abstract
Fluorescence properties of N, N'-bis(salicylidene) trans 1, 2-diaminocyclohexane (H 2 L) is used to probe the anionic (SDS), cationic (CTAB) and nonionic (TX-100) micelles as well as in serum albumins (BSA and HSA) and chicken egg white lysozyme (LYZ) by steady state and picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence band intensity was found to increase with concomitant blue-shift with gradual addition of different surfactants. All the experimental results suggest that the probe molecule resides in the micelle-water interface rather than going into the micellar core. However, the penetration is more towards the micellar hydrocarbon core in nonionic surfactant (TX-100) while comparing with ionic surfactants (SDS and CTAB). Several mean microscopic properties such as critical micelle concentration, polarity parameters and binding constant were calculated in presence of different surfactants. The decrease in nonradiative decay rate constants in micellar environments indicates restricted motion of the probe inside the micellar nanocages with increasing fluorescence emission intensity and quantum yields. Further in this work, we also investigated the interaction behavior of the probe with different proteins at low concentrations under physiological conditions (pH = 7.4). Stern-Volmer analysis of the tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence quenching data in presence of probe reveals Stern-Volmer constant (Ksv) as well as bimolecular quenching rate constant (Kq). The binding constant as well as the number of binding sites of the probe with proteins were also monitored and found to be 1:1 stoichiometry ratio.

Abstract
Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disorder, and is caused by Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and can induce inflammation. Antibiotic therapy often needs to be administered for long durations in acne therapy, which results in extensive antibiotic exposure. The present study investigated a new treatment model for evaluating the antibacterial effects of lysozyme (LY)-shelled microbubbles (MBs) and ultrasound (US)-mediated LY-shelled MBs cavitation against P. acnes both in vitro and in vivo, with the aims of reducing the dose and treatment duration and improving the prognosis of acne vulgaris. In terms of the in vitro treatment efficacy, the growth of P. acnes was inhibited by 86.08 ± 2.99% in the LY-shelled MBs group and by 57.74 ± 3.09% in the LY solution group. For US power densities of 1, 2, and 3 W/cm2 in the LY-shelled MBs group, the growth of P. acnes was inhibited by 95.79 ± 3.30%, 97.99 ± 1.16%, and 98.69 ± 1.13%, respectively. The in vivo results showed that the recovery rate on day 13 was higher in the US group with LY-shelled MBs (97.8 ± 19.8%) than in the LY-shelled MBs group (90.3 ± 23.3%). Our results show that combined treatments of US and LY-shelled MBs can significantly reduce the treatment duration and inhibit P.-acnes-induced inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
Lysozyme is mainly described active against Gram-positive bacteria, but is also efficient against some Gram-negative species. Especially, it was recently demonstrated that lysozyme disrupts Escherichia coli membranes. Moreover, dry-heating changes the physicochemical properties of the protein and increases the membrane activity of lysozyme. In order to elucidate the mode of insertion of lysozyme into the bacterial membrane, the interaction between lysozyme and a LPS monolayer mimicking the E. coli outer membrane has been investigated by tensiometry, ellipsometry, Brewster angle microscopy and atomic force microscopy. It was thus established that lysozyme has a high affinity for the LPS monolayer, and is able to insert into the latter as long as polysaccharide moieties are present, causing reorganization of the LPS monolayer. Dry-heating increases the lysozyme affinity for the LPS monolayer and its insertion capacity; the resulting reorganization of the LPS monolayer is different and more drastic than with the native protein.

Abstract
Synthetic antibiotics and antimicrobial agents, such as sulfonamide and triclosan (TCS), have provided new avenues in the treatment of bacterial infections, as they target lethal intracellular pathways. Sulfonamide antibiotics block synthesis of folic acid by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) while TCS block fatty acid synthesis through inhibition of enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI). They are water-insoluble agents and high doses are toxic, limiting their therapeutic efficiency. In this study, an antibiotic drug-targeting strategy based on utilizing ovotransferrin (OTf) as a carrier to allow specific targeting of the drug to microbial or mammalian cells via the transferrin receptor (TfR) is explored, with potential to alleviate insolubility and toxicity problems. Complexation, through non-covalent interaction, with OTf turned sulfa antibiotics or TCS into completely soluble in aqueous solution. OTf complexes showed superior bactericidal activity against several bacterial strains compared to the activity of free agents. Strikingly, a multi-drug resistant Salmonella strain become susceptible to antibiotics-OTf complexes while a tolC-knockout mutant strain become susceptible to OTf and more sensitive to the complexes. The antibiotic bound to OTf was, thus exported through the multi-drug efflux pump TolC in Salmonella wild-type strain. Further, antibiotics-OTf complexes were able to efficiently kill intracellular pathogens after infecting human colon carcinoma cells (HCT-116). The results demonstrate, for the first time, that the TfR mediated endocytosis of OTf can be utilized to specifically target drugs directly to pathogens or intracellularly infected cells and highlights the potency of the antibiotic-OTf complex for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Abstract
A comprehensive insight into the interaction between proteins and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is crucial to understand the behavior of PEG, which is widely used in pharmaceutical and medical applications. Although PEG is believed to be an excellent material to resist non-specific protein adsorption, there is a lack of quantitative information about the interactions between proteins and PEG. In this paper the interactions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme (LYZ) with different molecular weight (MW) PEGs were investigated through the T2 relaxation time of PEGs measured by low field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The integrated signal intensity of PEGs was quantified under various conditions from the concentrations and MWs of PEG, and ionic strength of solutions, as well as the molar ratios of PEG to protein. The results show that a large number of PEG molecules could associate with protein molecules with association constants in the range ~10(4)-10(5) M(-1). The association constant is insensitive to the ionic strength change in the physiological range and the lowest associate constant occurs at the medium MW PEG with protein. This suggests that the interaction between PEG and protein molecules might not be negligible in investigations of the resistance to non-specific protein adsorption. Long chain PEG coatings might cause modest protein adsorption, which could interfere with any weak specific interaction between ligand and receptor. Thus, it is necessary to reconsider the popular accepted method of protecting nanoparticles (NP) in blood with long chain PEG coatings since these NPs might be surrounded by a layer of weakly adsorbed plasma protein in the circulatory system.

Abstract
Magnetic Fe3O4/chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized for lysozyme separation from solution. The adsorption of lysozyme was investigated on magnetic Fe3O4/chitosan nanoparticles at fixed pH 6.0, because the enzymatic activity of lysozyme reaches its maximum in this condition. The influence of initial lysozyme concentration, temperature and contact time on lysozyme adsorption was studied. The results of lysozyme adsorption indicated that the adsorption isotherm fitted Sips model well. The maximum adsorption capacity was 144.11mg/g at 310 K. The thermodynamic parameters, ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0, illustrated that the adsorption of lysozyme was endothermic and spontaneous process.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem that continues to challenge the healthcare sectors and has become increasingly alarming in the past few years. To face this emerging global crisis, there is a need to find a new class of antibiotics that act on new microbial targets and/or harness existing antibiotics by developing new drug-targeting strategies. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW This review: explores an innovative drug-delivery strategy of using hen egg lysozyme as a carrier to enable water solubilization and to allow specific targeting to the microbial cells of a water-insoluble antimicrobial agent with a powerful killing action; addresses potentials for lysozyme in antibiotics drug targeting; and provides insight for the future direction of this highly prospective technology. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN The unique features and advantages of lysozyme-based drug delivery system are highlighted. The efficiency of lysozyme in solubilization and delivery of lipophilic antibiotics, to reformulate drugs that may fail clinical trials owing to low solubility, is emphasized. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Fewer pharmaceutical companies are inventing new antibiotics because of long development times and high failure rates. Combining lysozyme with a powerful old antibiotic may open doors to revolutionizing medicine, particularly in the treatment of deadly infections.

Abstract
Triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacterial fatty acid synthesis by blocking the active site of enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI), is a water-insoluble agent that limits its therapeutic candidacy. We have recently shown that the water solubility and antimicrobial activity of TCS were greatly enhanced when complexed to lysozyme (LZ). This study is to examine the therapeutic potential of triclosan-lysozyme (T-LZ) complex against common skin pathogens expressing different levels of FabI, and to delineate the drug-targeting mechanism by lysozyme. The T-LZ exhibited superior antimicrobial activity against two bacterial skin pathogens, Propionibacterium acnes and Corynebacterium minutissimum, while yeast pathogens, Candida albicans and Malassezia furfur lacking FabI enzyme were insensitive to the complex. Unlike free TCS or LZ, the T-LZ complex exhibited a potent antibacterial activity under a wide range of pH condition and salt concentration. Interestingly, P. acnes expressing greater amount of FabI was more susceptible to the T-LZ complex than C. minutissimum that produces lesser amount of the enzyme. A sensitive assay of FabI activity revealed that P. acnes and C. minutissimum treated with the complex exhibited significant inhibition of the intracellular FabI activity than cells treated with free TCS, indicating the efficiency of lysozyme to specifically deliver TCS to its target (FabI) in the cytoplasm of bacterial cells. These results demonstrate, for the first time, that lysozyme is a potential drug carrier that allows specific targeting to the microbial cells of the water-insoluble triclosan and highlights the potency of the complex for the treatment of skin bacterial infections.

Abstract
In this article, we discuss metal-protein interactions in the Ag-lysozyme complex by spectroscopic measurements. The analysis of the variation in relative intensities of SERS bands reveals the orientation and the change in conformation of the protein molecules on the Ag surface with time. The interaction kinetics of metal-protein complexes has been analyzed over a period of 3h via Raman measurements. Our analysis indicates that the Ag nanoparticles most likely interact with Trp123 which is in close proximity to Phe34 of the lysozyme molecule.

Abstract
The interaction of a N-methylated diaminotriphenylmethane dye, malachite green, with lysozyme was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopic techniques under physiological conditions. The binding parameters have been evaluated by fluorescence quenching methods. The results revealed that malachite green caused the fluorescence quenching of lysozyme through a static quenching procedure. The thermodynamic parameters like DeltaH and DeltaS were calculated to be -15.33 kJ mol(-1) and 19.47 J mol(-1) K(-1) according to van't Hoff equation, respectively, which proves main interaction between malachite green and lysozyme is hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bond contact. The distance r between donor (lysozyme) and acceptor (malachite green) was obtained to be 3.82 nm according to Frster's theory. The results of synchronous fluorescence, UV/vis and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra showed that binding of malachite green with lysozyme can induce conformational changes in lysozyme. In addition, the effects of common ions on the constants of lysozyme-malachite green complex were also discussed.
