Dong Q, Chen M, Yu C, Zhang Y, Zha L, Kakumyan P, Yang H, Zhao Y. Combined Proteomic and Metabolomic Analyses Reveal the Comprehensive Regulation of Stropharia rugosoannulata Mycelia Exposed to Cadmium Stress. J Fungi (Basel) 2024; 10:134. [PMID: 38392806 PMCID: PMC10890358 DOI: 10.3390/jof10020134] [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: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The potential of Stropharia rugosoannulata as a microbial remediation material for cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil lies in its capacity to absorb and accumulate Cd in its mycelia. This study utilized the TMT and LC-MS techniques to conduct integrated proteomic and metabolomic analyses with the aim of investigating the mycelial response mechanisms of S. rugosoannulata under low- and high-Cd stresses. The results revealed that mycelia employed a proactive defense mechanism to maintain their physiological functions, leading to reduced sensitivity to low-Cd stress. The ability of mycelia to withstand high levels of Cd stress was influenced primarily by the comprehensive regulation of six metabolic pathways, which led to a harmonious balance between nitrogen and carbohydrate metabolism and to reductions in oxidative stress and growth inhibition caused by Cd. The results provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in the response of S. rugosoannulata mycelia to Cd stress.

Abstract
Biological metal-organic frameworks (bio-MOFs) constitute a growing subclass of MOFs composed of metals and bio-ligands derived from biology, such as nucleobases, peptides, saccharides, and amino acids. Bio-ligands are more abundant than other traditional organic ligands, providing multiple coordination sites for MOFs. However, bio-MOFs are typically prepared using hazardous or harmful solvents or reagents, as well as laborious processes that do not conform to environmentally friendly standards. To improve biocompatibility and biosafety, eco-friendly synthesis and functionalization techniques should be employed with mild conditions and safer materials, aiming to reduce or avoid the use of toxic and hazardous chemical agents. Recently, bio-MOF applications have gained importance in some research areas, including imaging, tumor therapy, and targeted drug delivery, owing to their flexibility, low steric hindrances, low toxicity, remarkable biocompatibility, surface property refining, and degradability. This has led to an exponential increase in research on these materials. This paper provides a comprehensive review of updated strategies for the synthesis of environmentally friendly bio-MOFs, as well as an examination of the current progress and accomplishments in green-synthesized bio-MOFs for drug delivery aims and tumor treatments. In conclusion, we consider the challenges of applying bio-MOFs for biomedical applications and clarify the possible research orientation that can lead to highly efficient therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The injury of vascular endothelial cells caused by high glucose (HG) is one of the driving factors of vascular complications of diabetes. Oral administration is the most common route of administration for the treatment of diabetes and its vascular complications. Essential oil extracts from Chinese medicine possess potential therapeutic effects on vascular endothelial injury. However, low solubility and volatility of essential oils generally result in poor oral absorption. Development of nanocarriers for essential oils is a promising strategy to overcome the physiological barriers of oral absorption. In this study, a nanoemulsion composed of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-dextran sulfate (DS) conjugate and sodium deoxycholate (SD) was constructed. The nanoemulsions were verified with promoted oral absorption and prolonged circulation time. After the primary evaluation of the nanoemulsion, essential oil from Alpinia zerumbet Fructus (EOFAZ)-loaded nanoemulsion (denoted as EOFAZ@BD5/S) was prepared and characterized. Compared to the free EOFAZ, EOFAZ@BD5/S increased the protective effects on HG-induced HUVEC injury in vitro and ameliorative effects on the vascular endothelium disorder and tunica media fibroelastosis in a T2DM mouse model. Collectively, this study provides a nanoemulsion for the oral delivery of essential oils, which holds strong promise in the treatment of diabetes-induced vascular endothelial injury.

First direct evidence for direct cell-membrane penetrations of polycationic homopoly(amino acid)s produced by bacteria. Commun Biol 2022; 5:1132.

Abstract
Bacteria produce polycationic homopoly(amino acid)s, which are characterized by isopeptide backbones. Although the biological significance of polycationic homopoly(amino acid)s remains unclear, increasing attention has recently been focused on their potential use to achieve cellular internalization. Here, for the first time, we provide direct evidence that two representative bacterial polycationic isopeptides, ε-poly-L-α-lysine (ε-PαL) and ε-oligo-L-β-lysine (ε-OβL), were internalized into mammalian cells by direct cell-membrane penetration and then diffused throughout the cytosol. In this study, we used clickable ε-PαL and ε-OβL derivatives carrying a C-terminal azide group, which were enzymatically produced and then conjugated with a fluorescent dye to analyze subcellular localization. Interestingly, fluorescent proteins conjugated with the clickable ε-PαL or ε-OβL were also internalized into cells and diffused throughout the cytosol. Notably, a Cre recombinase conjugate with ε-PαL entered cells and mediated the Cre/loxP recombination, and ε-PαL was found to deliver a full-length IgG antibody to the cytosol and nucleus.

Abstract
Novel boronic acid-functionalized magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes with flexible branched polymer (Fe3O4@MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA) nanocomposites were fabricated and applied as the desorption/ionization matrix for the MALDI-TOF-MS determination of low molecular weight flavonoids. The prepared nanocomposite was systematically characterized by various techniques. Compared to the traditional organic matrix, the proposed Fe3O4@MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA matrix has excellent ionization efficiency and low-background noise interference due to the MWCNTs unique electron-phonon interaction and the high introduction density of boronic acid functional groups. Good sensitivity and ultra-high salt tolerance of the Fe3O4@MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA-assisted MALDI-TOF-MS were permitted for the determination and quantification of flavonoids in actual samples. Noticeably, the limits of detection (LODs) for the target flavonoids were in the range 17-33 nM. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of spot-to-spot and sample-to-sample (n = 10) were ≤ 9.8% and ≤ 10.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the wide linear ranges (0.1 - 500 µg/mL) and satisfactory calibration plot coefficients (R2 > 0.99) of flavonoids were achieved by MALDI-TOF-MS with the Fe3O4@MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA matrix. Good recoveries (92-105.5%) were achieved for the target flavonoids in practical food samples. Hence, the prepared Fe3O4@MWCNTs@ε-PL@BA nanocomposites have applications in the selective and efficient capture of target flavonoids active biomolecules coupled with MALDI-TOF-MS determination in actual samples.

Abstract
The controlled release of guest molecules from cyclodextrin (CD) inclusion complexes is very important for specific industrial applications in foods, medicine, cosmetics, textiles, agriculture, environmental protection, and chemical materials. The term "controlled release" encompasses several related methods, including those referred to as immediate release, sustained release and targeted release. Many different CD-based controlled release systems are currently used in practical applications. CD inclusion complexes, CD coupling, supramolecular hydrogels, and supramolecular micelles are among the most common. This review systematically introduces the principles and applications of CD-based controlled release systems, providing a theoretical basis for improving the bioavailability of effective substances and broadening their range of application.

Abstract
Hypertension is a common disease for human with high morbidity and mortality, and olmesartan medoxomil (OM) is widely used in the therapy of hypertension. However, poor water solubility and low bioavailability limit its widespread use. To improve the effect of OM, a ternary OM solid dispersion consisting of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) was prepared by mechanochemical method. The best preparation parameters were OM/HP-β-CD/HPMC-E5 with mass ratio of 1:2.6:1 and milling time of 4 h. Under the optimal preparation conditions, the solubility of the ternary solid dispersion could be increased by 12 times as compared with pure OM. Due to the addition of HPMC-E5, the solid dispersion had sustained release performance with prolonged release time of 12 h. Furthermore, in vivo study demonstrated that the prepared solid dispersion could afford significantly improved bioavailability of ~ 3-fold in comparison with pure drug. Hence, the prepared ternary solid dispersion of OM may be a promise delivery system for clinical application.

Abstract
With the advantages in biocompatibility, antimicrobial ability, and comparative facile synthesis technology, poly-L-lysine (PLL) has received considerable attention in recent years. Different arrangement forms and structures of the backbone endow lysine-based polymers with versatile applications, especially for ε-poly-L-lysine (EPL) and lysine-based dendrimer (LBD) compounds. This review summarized the advanced development of the synthesis and modification strategies of EPL and LBD, focus on the modification of bio-synthesis and artificial synthesis, respectively. Meanwhile, biomedical fields, where EPL and LBD are mainly utilized, such as agents, adjuvants, or carriers to anti-pathogen or used in tumor or gene therapies, are also introduced. With the deeper of knowledge of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the drug system, the design and synthesis of these drugs can be further optimized. Furthermore, the performances of combination with other advanced methodologies and technologies demonstrated that challenges, such as scale production and high expenses, will not hinder the prospective future of lysine-based polymers.

Abstract
Lactoferrin (Lf), a bioactive protein initially found in many biological secretions including milk, is regarded as the nutritional supplement or therapeutic ligand due to its multiple functions. Research on its mode of action reveals that intact Lf or its active peptide (i.e., lactoferricin) shows an important multifunctional performance. Oral delivery is considered as the most convenient administration route for this bioactive protein. Unfortunately, Lf is sensitive to the gastrointestinal (GI) physicochemical stresses and lactoferricin is undetectable in GI digesta. This review introduces the functionality of Lf at the molecular level and its degradation behavior in GI tract is discussed in detail. Subsequently, the absorption and transport of Lf from intestine into the blood circulation, which is pivotal to its health promoting effects in various tissues, and some assisting labeling methods are discussed. Stabilization technologies aiming at preserving the structural integrity and functional properties of orally administrated Lf are summarized and compared. Altogether, this work comprehensively reviews the structure-function relationship of Lf, its oral fate and the development of stabilization technologies for the enhancement of the oral bioavailability of Lf. The existing limitations and scope for future research are also discussed.

The nanocarriers of casein emulsion loaded with astaxanthin and casein modified by TPP emulsion encapsulated with astaxanthin were 227 and 543 nm, respectively, with a spherical shape. The thermal stability and resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation ability of astaxanthin were significantly improved after encapsulation by the nanocarriers. The fluorescence colocalization imaging proved an accumulated effect of astaxanthin encapsulated in casein emulsion nanocarriers modified by TPP. Meanwhile, the astaxanthin loaded on TPP-modified nanocarriers could significantly protect the mitochondrial membrane potential from depolarization in the normal rat kidney (NRK) cells after oxidative damage. The cell viability assay demonstrated that the astaxanthin loaded on TPP-modified nanocarriers could enhance the growth of NRK and RAW264.7 cells as compared with astaxanthin encapsulated by casein emulsion without TPP modification.

Abstract
The advancement of the oral route for macromolecules has gained a lot of attention due to its noninvasive nature, safe and challenging in active research but with limited success. Oral administration poses challenges due to poor solubility, short half-life, quick elimination and the physical, chemical and biological barriers of the gastrointestinal tract. Approaches of past for improving oral absorption, such as enhancers, mucoadhesive delivery and enzyme inhibitors have been taken over by novel approaches like advanced liposomes, self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system, nanoparticles and targeted delivery. Eudratech™ Pep, Peptelligence, Rani Pill and Pharm Film are the emerging technologies for delivering oral proteins and peptide. Calcitonin, semaglutide and octreotide are the peptides available in the market for oral delivery as outcomes of these technologies.
