ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:27071-27084. [PMID: 38947787 PMCID: PMC11209914 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c00487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Here, the antioxidant potency of a binuclear Bi(III) complex {[Bi2(μ-ox)(dipic)2(H2O)2 (taa)2].H2O, where ox2- = oxalato, dipic2- = pyridine 2,6-dicarboxylato, and taa = thiourea} was evaluated using the •DPPH assay. It was demonstrated that the Bi complex exhibited a high ability to inhibit DPPH free radicals. The binding mechanism of the complex with bovine liver catalase (BLC) was also investigated, revealing structural and activity changes in the enzyme in the presence of the complex. The catalase activity in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide increased in the presence of the Bi complex, reaching 39.8% higher than its initial activity at a concentration of 7.77 × 10-6 M. The complex exhibited a relatively high affinity for BLC, with K b values of 3.98, 0.13, and 0.09 × 105 M-1 at 303, 310, and 317 K, respectively. The mechanisms involved in the interaction were hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions, as validated through molecular docking simulations. Synchronous fluorescence showed that tryptophan was more affected by enzyme-complex interactions than tyrosine. In addition, a cell viability test using the MTT method revealed that at its highest concentration, the Bi complex caused a decrease in the number of cells below 50% compared to the control, while cisplatin showed negative effects at all concentrations. These findings suggest that the Bi complex has the potential to be developed as a promising candidate for BLC-related therapeutic target therapy.

Abstract
The growing utilization of rare earth elements (REEs) in industrial and technological applications has captured global interest, leading to the development of high-performance technologies in medical diagnosis, agriculture, and other electronic industries. This accelerated utilization has also raised human exposure levels, resulting in both favourable and unfavourable impacts. However, the effects of REEs are dependent on their concentration and molecular species. Therefore, scientific interest has increased in investigating the molecular interactions of REEs with biomolecules. In this current review, particular attention was paid to the molecular mechanism of interactions of Lanthanum (La), Cerium (Ce), and Gadolinium (Gd) with biomolecules, and the biological consequences were broadly interpreted. The review involved gathering and evaluating a vast scientific collection which primarily focused on the impact associated with REEs, ranging from earlier reports to recent discoveries, including studies in human and animal models. Thus, understanding the molecular interactions of each element with biomolecules will be highly beneficial in elucidating the consequences of REEs accumulation in the living organisms.

Abstract
DNA is widely used as building block material for the construction of polyhedral nanostructures. DNA polyhedrons (DNA prism, cube, and square pyramid) are small 3D wireframed nanostructures with tunable shapes and sizes. Despite substantial progress in synthesis, the study regarding cellular responses to DNA polyhedrons is limited. Herein, the molecular interaction between DNA polyhedrons and the antioxidant enzyme, catalase has been explored. The enzymatic activity of bovine liver catalase (BLC) remains unaltered in the presence of DNA polyhedrons after 1 h of incubation. However, the activity of BLC was protected after 24 h of incubation in the presence of DNA polyhedrons as compared to the natural unfolding. The kinetics study confirmed the protective role of DNA polyhedrons on BLC with lower KM and higher catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, no profound conformational changes of BLC occur in the presence of DNA polyhedrons as observed in spectroscopic studies. From fluorescence quenching data we confirmed the binding between DNA polyhedrons and BLC. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that non-covalent bonds played a major role during the interaction of BLC with DNA polyhedrons. Moreover, the hepatic catalase activity remains unaltered in the presence of DNA polyhedrons. The cytotoxicity assay revealed that DNA polyhedrons were biocompatible in the cellular environment. The protective role of DNA polyhedrons on enzyme activity and the unaltered conformational change of protein ensures the biocompatibility of DNA polyhedrons in the cellular environment.

Abstract
In cancer cells that need a lot of iron for growth and metastasis, halo-transferrin (TF-containing iron) enters the cell with the help of the transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1) protein. If the anticancer drug can bind to the iron site by interacting with apo-transferrin (iron-free FT), it can enter the cancer cell by the same mechanism. Two iron-related proteins, Bovine liver catalase (BLC) and apo-Transferrin (TF), that are important in cancer patients were selected and their interaction with the anti-cancer drug Floxuridine (FUDR) was investigated. Here, the protective role of FUDR was evaluated by several variables such as drug concentration, interaction time, and temperature-induced degradation of enzyme function. The results showed that the protective effect of the FUDR is greater in high concentrations (in 5 × 10-5 M:1.78 % and 2.59 % after 24 and 48 h). The interaction of the FUDR with both proteins can reduce the intensity of the fluorescence emission by a static mechanism. The binding strength of the FUDR with both proteins was almost similar and with the order of 104 M-1 (Kb = 3.90 ± 0.41 × 104 M-1 for BLC-FUDR and 5.01 ± 0.36 × 104 M-1 for TF-FUDR at 310 K). The thermodynamic calculations (in agreement with the docking results) indicated that FUDR-protein complex formation was exothermic and the main binding forces in the binding process were van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds. Both fluorophores tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) of both proteins had significant roles in fluorescence quenching and the interaction process, the polarity of their microenvironment changed. CD results showed that the secondary structure changes of TF are slightly more than BLC. Molecular docking showed that the binding of the FUDR to TF is very close to the Fe-specific site and is placed in the cavity among the wrapping domain, N-Terminal arm, and β-barrel in BLC.

Fucoidan-functionalized gelatin methacryloyl microspheres ameliorate intervertebral disc degeneration by restoring redox and matrix homeostasis of nucleus pulposus.

Abstract
Loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) and dehydration of the nucleus pulposus (NP) are major pathological characteristics of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), the leading cause of low back pain. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by proinflammatory cytokines substantially contribute to IVDD pathogenesis. This study aimed to examine the potential of fucoidan in protecting the matrix metabolism of NP cells and its therapeutic efficacy in the prevention of IVDD. In an inflammatory environment induced by interleukin (IL)-1β, fucoidan treatments demonstrated a dose-dependent enhancement of ECM production in NP cells, while concurrently reducing the expression of matrix degradation enzymes. The protective effect of fucoidan was mediated through the activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and subsequent induction of antioxidant enzymes, whereas silencing Nrf2 abrogated the protection of fucoidan on NP cells against IL-1β-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, a novel fucoidan-functionalized gelatin methacryloyl microsphere (Fu@GelMA-MS) was synthesized. The in vivo application of Fu@GelMA-MS via in situ injection in a rat caudal IVD model effectively conserved the ECM components and maintained the hydration of the NP tissue, thereby preventing IVDD caused by puncture. Collectively, fucoidan-functionalized hydrogel microspheres represent a promising strategy for the regeneration of NP and the treatment of IVDD.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) have become widespread in the modern world posing a hidden threat to the global environment. However, growing accumulation and devastating impact of MPs on human health and the environment have received least attention. In the current investigation, for the first time MPs have been identified which are released from the daily usable materials like polythene bags (PB) and paper cups (PC) in response to hot and cold water exposure at different time intervals. The impact of these MPs has been assessed on the major antioxidant enzyme, bovine liver catalase (BLC). The binding of MPs caused conformational changes in BLC by decreasing the α-helical content, which results in reduction of the enzymatic activity. Kinetics study revealed nearly ∼1.4-fold compromised catalytic efficiency of catalase in response to MPs. Nevertheless, hepatic catalase activity was also significantly decreased in presence of MPs. Further, materials like glass, porcelain, stainless steel, and high-grade plastics are discovered as greener alternatives to PB and PC.

Abstract
The emergence of DNA nanotechnology has shown enormous potential in a vast array of applications, particularly in the medicinal and theranostics fields. Nevertheless, the knowledge of the compatibility between DNA nanostructures and cellular proteins is largely unknown. Herein, we report the biophysical interaction between proteins (circulatory protein bovine serum albumin, BSA, and the cellular enzyme bovine liver catalase, BLC) and tetrahedral DNA (tDNAs), which are well-known nanocarriers for therapeutics. Interestingly, the secondary conformation of BSA or BLC was unaltered in the presence of tDNAs which supports the biocompatible property of tDNA. In addition, thermodynamic studies showed that the binding of tDNAs with BLC has a stable non-covalent interaction via hydrogen bond and van der Waals contact, which is indicative of a spontaneous reaction. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of BLC was increased in the presence of tDNAs during 24 h of incubation. These findings indicate that the presence of tDNA nanostructures not only ensures a steady secondary conformation of proteins, but also stabilize the intracellular proteins like BLC. Surprisingly, our investigation discovered that tDNAs have no effect on albumin proteins, either by interfering or by adhering to the extracellular proteins. These findings will aid in the design of future DNA nanostructures for biomedical applications by increasing the knowledge on the biocompatible interaction of tDNAs with biomacromolecules.

Abstract
AIMS We performed cell and animal experiments to explore the therapeutic effect of artemisinin on Parkinson's disease (PD) and the TLR4/Myd88 signaling pathway. METHODS C57 mice were randomly divided into the blank, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced and artemisinin-treated groups. Clinical symptoms, the number of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the substantia nigra, and microglial cell activation were compared among the three groups. Subsequently, BV-2 cell activation and TLR4/Myd88 pathway component expression were compared among the blank, MPP+ -treated, artemisinin-treated, and TLR4 activator-treated groups. RESULTS Behavioral symptoms were improved, the number of DAergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain was increased, and microglial cell activation was decreased in artemisinin-treated MPTP-induced PD model mice compared with control-treated MPTP-induced PD model mice (p < 0.05). The cell experiments revealed that artemisinin treatment reduced MPP+ -induced BV-2 cell activation and inhibited the TLR4/Myd88 signaling pathway. Moreover, the effect of artemisinin on the BV-2 cell model was inhibited by the TLR4 activator LPS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Artemisinin may reduce damage to DAergic neurons in a PD mouse model by decreasing microglial activation through the TLR4-mediated MyD88-dependent signaling pathway. However, this finding cannot explain the relationship between microglia and DAergic neurons.

Abstract
In the present study, the inhibitory effect of propylthiouracil (PTU) on bovine liver catalase (BLC) activity was studied in the presence of curcumin (CUR). The results suggest that the PTU-induced decrease in BLC activity was caused by a change in conformation of BLC with reduced α-helical content and decrease in zeta potential. Nevertheless, temperature-dependent activation of CUR protects the activity of BLC by restoring the secondary conformation and zeta potential of BLC. CUR inhibited the time-induced reduction in BLC activity and the protection was increased with increasing concentrations of CUR and found to be significant even from 1:0.1 molar ratios. The enzyme kinetics confirmed the high catalytic efficiency of BLC in presence of CUR than PTU. The protective role of CUR was due to the formation of a more stabilized complex as demonstrated by molecular docking, and fourier-transform infrared study. Isothermal titration calorimetric study supports for a favourable reaction between BLC and PTU or CUR due to the negative ΔH, and positive TΔS. Although the number of binding sites for PTU and CUR was found to be 10 and 7, respectively, the binding affinity between CUR and BLC is approximately 3.72 fold stronger than BLC-PTU complex. The increased melting temperature of BLC was noticed in presence of CUR suggesting the protective potential of CUR towards biomolecules. Indeed, this is the first biophysical study to describe the molecular mechanism of PTU-induced reduction in BLC activity and alleviation by CUR with detail kinetics. Thus, CUR can be further extended to other antioxidant enzymes or compromised biomolecules for therapeutic interventions.

Analysis of Mitochondrial Function in Cell Membranes as Indicator of Tissue Vulnerability to Drugs in Humans. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10050980. [PMID: 35625717 PMCID: PMC9138415 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10050980] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Drug side effects are one of the main reasons for treatment withdrawal during clinical trials. Reactive oxygen species formation is involved in many of the drug side effects, mainly by interacting with the components of the cellular respiration. Thus, the early detection of these effects in the drug discovery process is a key aspect for the optimization of pharmacological research. To this end, the superoxide formation of a series of drugs and compounds with antidepressant, antipsychotic, anticholinergic, narcotic, and analgesic properties was evaluated in isolated bovine heart membranes and on cell membrane microarrays from a collection of human tissues, together with specific inhibitors of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Fluphenazine and PB28 promoted similar effects to those of rotenone, but with lower potency, indicating a direct action on mitochondrial complex I. Moreover, nefazodone, a drug withdrawn from the market due to its mitochondrial hepatotoxic effects, evoked the highest superoxide formation in human liver cell membranes, suggesting the potential of this technology to anticipate adverse effects in preclinical phases.

Baral B, Dutta J, Subudhi U. Biophysical interaction between self-assembled branched DNA nanostructures with bovine serum albumin and bovine liver catalase. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 177:119-128. [PMID: 33609575 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.02.095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2020] [Revised: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Branched DNA (bDNA) nanostructures have emerged as self-assembled biomaterials and are being considered for biomedical applications. Herein, we report the biophysical interaction between self-assembled bDNA nanostructure with circulating protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) and cellular enzyme bovine liver catalase (BLC). The binding between bDNA and BSA or BLC was confirmed through the decrease in fluorescence spectra. The Stern-Volmer data supports for non-covalent bonding with ~1 binding site in case of BSA and BLC thus advocating a static binding. Furthermore, FTIR and ITC study confirmed the binding of bDNAs with proteins through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interaction. The negative free energy observed in ITC represent spontaneous reaction for BLC-bDNA interaction. The biophysical interaction between bDNA nanostructures and proteins was also supported by DLS and zeta potential measurement. With an increase in bDNA concentrations up to 100 nM, no significant change in absorbance and CD spectra was observed for both BLC and BSA which suggests structural stability and unaffected secondary conformation of proteins in presence of bDNA. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of BLC was unaltered in presence of bDNAscr even with increasing the incubation period from 1 h to 24 h. Interestingly, the time-dependent decrease in activity of BLC was protected by bDNAmix. The thermal melting study suggests a higher Tm value for proteins in presence of bDNAmix which demonstrates that interaction with bDNAmix increases the thermal stability of proteins. Collectively these data suggest that self-assembled DNA nanostructure may bind to BSA for facilitating circulation in plasma or binding to intracellular proteins like BLC for stabilization, however the secondary conformation of protein or catalytic activity of enzyme is unaltered in presence of bDNA nanostructure. Thus, the newly established genomic sequence-driven self-assembled DNA nanostructure can be explored for in vitro or in vivo experimental work in recent future.
