[PMID: 38845911 PMCID: PMC11153188 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31788] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The fascial space of the oral and maxillofacial region contains loose connective tissues, which possess weak anti-infection ability and are often prone to infection, leading to acute suppurative inflammation and sepsis through blood. Although antibiotic use can reduce the probability of bacterial infections, owing to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the search for new antimicrobial drugs is imminent. Herein, we report a metal-organic framework (MOF) antibacterial material designed and synthesized with gallium (Ga) as the central atom, which possesses significant antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Our data suggested that GA-based MOFs (Ga-MOFs; 1 μg/mL) could sufficiently kill Porphyromonas gingivalis, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. Ga-MOFs exhibited a bactericidal effect against these three pathogens by disrupting biofilm formation, exopolysaccharide production, and bacterial membrane integrity. In addition, we found that 1 μg/mL of Ga-MOFs was not cytotoxic to human oral epithelial cell (HOEC) lines and it significantly reduced the adhesion of the three pathogens to HOEC. Ga-MOFs protect macrophages from excessive oxidative stress by scavenging excess intracellular reactive oxygen species and upregulating antioxidant gene levels, thereby enhancing cellular antioxidant defense. In addition, Ga-MOFs can promote the transformation of macrophages from the proinflammatory phenotype to the anti-inflammatory phenotype, thereby protecting oral health. Herein, novel Ga-MOF materials were chemically synthesized for therapeutic applications in oral infections, which provides new ideas for the development of novel nonantibiotic drugs to accelerate patient recovery.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms combined with the ever-draining antibiotic pipeline poses a disturbing and immensely growing public health challenge that requires a multidisciplinary approach and the application of novel therapies aimed at unconventional targets and/or applying innovative drug formulations. Hence, bacterial iron acquisition systems and bacterial Fe2+/3+-containing enzymes have been identified as a plausible target of great potential. The intriguing "Trojan horse" approach deprives microorganisms from the essential iron. Recently, gallium's potential in medicine as an iron mimicry species has attracted vast attention. Different Ga3+ formulations exhibit diverse effects upon entering the cell and thus supposedly have multiple targets. The aim of the current study is to specifically distinguish characteristics of great significance in regard to the initial gallium-based complex, allowing the alien cation to effectively compete with the native ferric ion for binding the siderophores pyochelin and pyoverdine secreted by the bacterium P. aeruginosa. Therefore, three gallium-based formulations were taken into consideration: the first-generation gallium nitrate, Ga(NO3)3, metabolized to Ga3+-hydrated forms, the second-generation gallium maltolate (tris(3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyronato)gallium), and the experimentally proven Ga carrier in the bloodstream-the protein transferrin. We employed a reliable in silico approach based on DFT computations in order to understand the underlying biochemical processes that govern the Ga3+/Fe3+ rivalry for binding the two bacterial siderophores.

Abstract
Owing to the development of glass 45S5 (Bioglass®) comprising 45 mol% SiO2, 24.5 mol% Na2O, 24.5 mol% CaO, and 6 mol% P2O5, different compositions of silicate glasses have been developed. When these silicate glasses contact an aqueous environment, such as body fluids, they induce apatite layer formation on their surfaces owing to ion exchange. In addition to promoting hard tissue formation, researchers have sought to enhance the antibacterial properties of these glasses, thereby resulting in the development of metal-doped silicate glasses. The addition of antibacterial metals (silver, copper, zinc, and gallium) to silicate glass offers a promising avenue for combating oral pathogens. In recent years, there has been growing interest in metal-doped phosphate glasses. The release of metal ions can be regulated by modifying the dissolution rate of the phosphate glasses. This review summarizes the metal-doped silicate and phosphate glasses that confer antibacterial activity. Future strategies for the development of dental biomaterials that incorporate metal-doped glass and exhibit antibacterial effects are discussed.

Abstract
Increased antibiotic resistance has made bacterial infections a global concern, which requires novel non-antibiotic-dependent antibacterial strategies to address the menace. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising antibiotic alternative, whose antibacterial mechanism is mainly to destroy the membrane of bacteria. Gallium ions exhibit an antibacterial effect by interfering with the iron metabolism of bacteria. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, it is worth studying the potential of gallium-AMP-based nanocomposites for treating bacterial infections. Herein, novel gallium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized at room temperature, followed by in situ loading of the model AMP melittin. The obtained nanocomposites exhibited stronger antibacterial activity than pure MEL and gallium ions, achieving the effects of "one plus one is greater than two". Moreover, the nanocomposites showed favorable biocompatibility and accelerated healing of a wound infected by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by down-regulation of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α. This work presents an innovative antibacterial strategy to overcome the antibiotic resistance crisis and expand the application of AMPs.

Abstract
Ga(III) polypyridyl catecholate complexes of type [Ga(bipy)2(O,O)](NO3) or [Ga(phen)2(O,O)](NO3) respectively were readily synthesised on reaction of Ga(NO3)3 in methanol with 1 equivalent of catecholate ligand (2,3-DHBA, 3,4-DHBA, 2,3,4-THBA or CafA) and then 2 equivalents of either bipy or phen. The complexes were characterised in full including by X-ray crystallography, which established that the catecholate ligands coordinate the Ga(III) centres in a bidentate manner via the two deprotonated hydroxy groups. All Ga(III) complexes exhibited good in vitro antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The complexes were inactive against the Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus including against a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain (MRSA). [Ga(bipy)2(2,3-DHBA-2H)](NO3)·1.5H2O (1) was shown to be non toxic in vivo in larvae of Galleria mellonella at doses up to 2000 μg mL-1 and to offer protection at doses of 100 and 250 μg mL-1 at 48 and 96 h to larvae infected with P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
A series of Ga(Qn)3 coordination compounds have been synthesized, where HQn is 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-RC(═O)-pyrazolo-5-one. The complexes have been characterized through analytical data, NMR and IR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography, and density functional theory (DFT) studies. Cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines was determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, with interesting results in terms of both cell line selectivity and toxicity values compared with cisplatin. The mechanism of action was explored by spectrophotometric, fluorometric, chromatographic, immunometric, and cytofluorimetric assays, SPR biosensor binding studies, and cell-based experiments. Cell treatment with gallium(III) complexes promoted several cell death triggering signals (accumulation of p27, PCNA, PARP fragments, activation of the caspase cascade, and inhibition of the mevalonate pathway) and induced changes in cell redox homeostasis (decreased levels of GSH/GPX4 and NADP(H), increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), mitochondrial damage, and increased activity of CPR and CcO), identifying ferroptosis as the mechanism responsible for cancer cell death.

Abstract
Calcium phosphates (CaPs) have been used in bone regeneration for decades. Among the described CaPs, synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) has a chemical composition similar to that of natural bone. Gallium-containing compounds have been studied since the 1970s for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and have shown beneficial properties, such as antibacterial activity and inhibition of osteoclast activity. In this study, we synthesized hydroxyapatite (HAp) powder with Ga doping ratios up to 6.9 ± 0.5 wt% using the wet chemical precipitation method. The obtained products were characterized using XRD, BET, FTIR, and ICP-MS. Ga3+ ion release was determined in the cell culture media for up to 30 days. Antibacterial activity was assessed against five bacterial species: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus pyogenes. The biocompatibility of the GaHAp samples was determined in human fibroblasts (hTERT-BJ1) through direct and indirect tests. The structure of the synthesized products was characteristic of HAp, as revealed with XRD and FTIR, although the addition of Ga caused a decrease in the crystallite size. Ga3+ was released from GaHAp paste in a steady manner, with approximately 40% being released within 21 days. GaHAp with the highest gallium contents, 5.5 ± 0.1 wt% and 6.9 ± 0.5 wt%, inhibited the growth of all five bacterial species, with the greatest activity being against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Biocompatibility assays showed maintained cell viability (~80%) after seven days of indirect exposure to GaHAp. However, when GaHAp with Ga content above 3.3 ± 0.4 wt% was directly applied on the cells, a decrease in metabolic activity was observed on the seventh day. Overall, these results show that GaHAp with Ga content below 3.3 ± 0.4 wt% has attractive antimicrobial properties, without affecting the cell metabolic activity, creating a material that could be used for bone regeneration and prevention of infection.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapy remains the main systemic treatment of ovarian cancer (OC). However, the inevitable development of platinum and poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) resistance is associated with poor outcomes, which becomes a major obstacle in the management of this disease. The present study developed "all-in-one" nanoparticles that contained the PARPi olaparib and gallium (Ga) (III) (olaparib-Ga) to effectively reverse PARPi resistance in platinum-resistant A2780-cis and SKOV3-cis OC cells and in SKOV3-cis tumor models. Notably, the olaparib-Ga suppressed SKOV3-cis tumor growth with negligible toxicity. Moreover, the suppression effect was more evident when combining olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin, as evaluated in A2780-cis and SKOV3-cis cells. Mechanistically, the combined treatment induced DNA damage, which elicited the activation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)/AMT- and Rad3-related (ATR) checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1)/Chk2 signal transduction pathways. This led to the arrest of cell cycle progression at S and G2/M phases, which eventually resulted in apoptosis and cell death due to unrepairable DNA damage. In addition, effective therapeutic responses to olaparib-Ga and cisplatin combination or olaparib-Ga and carboplatin combination were observed in SKOV3-cis tumor-bearing animal models. Altogether, the present findings demonstrate that olaparib-Ga has therapeutic implications in platinum-resistant OC cells, and the combination of olaparib-Ga with cisplatin or carboplatin may be promising for treating patients with OC who exhibit resistance to both PARPi and platinum.

Abstract
Food packages have been detected carrying novel coronavirus in multi-locations since the outbreak of COVID-19, causing major concern in the field of food safety. Metal-based supported materials are widely used for sterilization due to their excellent antibacterial properties as well as low biological resistance. As the principal part of antibacterial materials, the active component, commonly referred to Ag, Cu, Zn, etc., plays the main role in inhibiting and killing pathogenic microorganisms by destroying the structure of cells. As another composition of metal-based antibacterial materials, the carrier could support and disperse the active component, which on one hand, could effectively decrease the usage amount of active component, on the other hand, could be processed into various forms to broaden the application range of antibacterial materials. Different from other metal-based antibacterial reviews, in order to highlight the detailed function of various carriers, we divided the carriers into biocompatible and adsorptable types and discussed their different antibacterial effects. Moreover, a novel substitution antibacterial mechanism was proposed. The coating and shaping techniques of metal-based antibacterial materials as well as their applications in food storage at ambient and low temperatures are also comprehensively summarized. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis and reference for researchers in this field to develop new metal-based antibacterial materials.

Abstract
The hazards caused by drug-resistant bacteria are rocketing along with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics. The development of new non-antibiotic antibacterial drugs is urgent. The excellent biocompatibility and diverse multifunctionalities of liquid metal have stimulated the studies of antibacterial application. Several gallium-based antimicrobial agents have been developed based on the mechanism that gallium (a type of liquid metal) ions disorder the normal metabolism of iron ions. Other emerging strategies, such as physical sterilization by directly using LM microparticles to destroy the biofilm of bacteria or thermal destruction via infrared laser irradiation, are gaining increasing attention. Different from traditional antibacterial agents of gallium compounds, the pronounced property of gallium-based liquid metal materials would bring innovation to the antibacterial field. Here, LM-based antimicrobial mechanisms, including iron metabolism disorder, production of reactive oxygen species, thermal injury, and mechanical destruction, are highlighted. Antimicrobial applications of LM-based materials are summarized and divided into five categories, including liquid metal motors, antibacterial fabrics, magnetic field-responsive microparticles, liquid metal films, and liquid metal polymer composites. In addition, future opportunities and challenges towards the development and application of LM-based antimicrobial materials are presented.

Abstract
Poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are used in ovarian cancer treatment and have greatly improved the survival rates for homologous recombination repair (HRR)-deficient patients. However, their therapeutic efficacy is limited in HRR-proficient ovarian cancer. Thus, sensitizing HRR-proficient ovarian cancer cells to PARP inhibitors is important in clinical practice. Here, a nanodrug, olaparib-Ga, was designed using self-assembly of the PARP inhibitor olaparib into bovine serum albumin through gallic acid gallium(III) coordination via a convenient and green synthetic method. Compared with olaparib, olaparib-Ga featured an ultrasmall size of 7 nm and led to increased suppression of cell viability, induction of DNA damage, and enhanced cell apoptosis in the SKOV3 and OVCAR3 HRR-proficient ovarian cancer cells in vitro. Further experiments indicated that the olaparib-Ga nanodrug could suppress RRM2 expression, activate the Fe2+/ROS/MAPK pathway and HMOX1 signaling, inhibit the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, and enhance the expression of cleaved-caspase 3 and BAX protein. This, in turn, led to increased cell apoptosis in HRR-proficient ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, olaparib-Ga effectively restrained SKOV3 and OVCAR3 tumor growth and exhibited negligible toxicity in vivo. In conclusion, we propose that olaparib-Ga can act as a promising nanodrug for the treatment of HRR-proficient ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Amidst an ever-increasing demand for the enhancement of the lifestyle and the modulation of modern diseases, the functionalization of biomaterials is of utmost importance. One of the leading materials for the aforementioned purpose have been calcium phosphates (CaPs). They have been widely used in bone regeneration displaying favourable regenerative potential and biological properties. Many studies have placed their entire focus on facilitating the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and bone progenitor cells, while the aspect of antibacterial properties has been surmounted. Nevertheless, increasing antibiotic resistance of bacteria requires the development of new materials and the usage of alternative approaches such as ion doping. Gallium (Ga) has been the potential star on the rise among the ions. However, the obstacle that accompanies gallium is the scarcity of research performed and the variety of amalgamations. The question that imposes itself is how a growing field of therapeutics can be further entwined with advances in material science, and how will the incorporation of gallium bring a new outlook. The present study offers a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art gallium containing calcium phosphates (GaCaPs), their synthesis methods, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility. Considering their vast potential as antibacterial agents, the need for a methodical perspective is highly necessary to determine if it is a direction on the brink of recognition or a fruitless endeavour. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: : Although several studies have been published on various metal ions-containing calcium phosphates, to this date there is no systematic overview pointing out the properties and benefits of gallium containing calcium phosphates. Here we offer a critical overview, including synthesis, structure and biological properties of gallium containing calcium phosphates.

Abstract
A magnetic metal-organic framework nanocomposite (magnetic MIL-68(Ga)) was synthesized through a "one pot" reaction and used for heavy metal ion removal. The morphology and elemental properties of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), as well as zeta potential. Moreover, the factors affecting the adsorption capacity of the nanocomposite, including time, pH, metal ion type and concentration, were studied. It was found that the adsorption capacity of magnetic MIL-68(Ga) for Pb2+ and Cu2+ was 220 and 130 mg/g, respectively. Notably, the magnetic adsorbents could be separated easily using an external magnetic field, regenerated by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-Na2) and reused three times, in favor of practical application. This study provides a reference for the rapid separation and purification of heavy metal ions from wastewater.

Abstract
With the abuse and misuse of antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance has become a challenging issue in the medical system. Iatrogenic and non-iatrogenic infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens pose serious threats to global human life and health because the efficacy of traditional antibiotics has been greatly reduced and the resulting socio-economic burden has increased. It is important to find and develop non-antibiotic-dependent antibacterial strategies because the development of new antibiotics can hardly keep pace with the emergence of resistant bacteria. Gallium (III) is a multi-target antibacterial agent that has an excellent antibacterial activity, especially against MDR pathogens; thus, a gallium (III)-based treatment is expected to become a new antibacterial strategy. However, some limitations of gallium ions as antimicrobials still exist, including low bioavailability and explosive release. In recent years, with the development of nanomaterials and clathrates, the progress of manufacturing technology, and the emergence of synergistic antibacterial strategies, the antibacterial activities of gallium have greatly improved, and the scope of application in medical systems has expanded. This review summarizes the advancement of current optimization for these key factors. This review will enrich the knowledge about the efficiency and mechanism of various gallium-based antibacterial agents and provide strategies for the improvement of the antibacterial activity of gallium-based compounds.

Ca 2+/Sr 2+ Selectivity in Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR): Implications for Strontium's Anti-Osteoporosis Effect. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11111576. [PMID: 34827574 PMCID: PMC8615369 DOI: 10.3390/biom11111576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) controls vital bone cell functions such as cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. The binding of the native agonist (Ca2+) to CaSR activates the receptor, which undergoes structural changes that trigger a cascade of events along the cellular signaling pathways. Strontium (in the form of soluble salts) has been found to also be a CaSR agonist. The activation of the receptor by Sr2+ is considered to be the major mechanism through which strontium exerts its anti-osteoporosis effect, mostly in postmenopausal women. Strontium-activated CaSR initiates a series of signal transduction events resulting in both osteoclast apoptosis and osteoblast differentiation, thus strengthening the bone tissue. The intimate mechanism of Sr2+ activation of CaSR is still enigmatic. Herewith, by employing a combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and polarizable continuum model (PCM) computations, we have found that the Ca2+ binding sites 1, 3, and 4 in the activated CaSR, although possessing a different number and type of protein ligands, overall structure and charge state, are all selective for Ca2+ over Sr2+. The three binding sites, regardless of their structural differences, exhibit almost equal metal selectivity if they are flexible and have no geometrical constraints on the incoming Sr2+. In contrast to Ca2+ and Sr2+, Mg2+ constructs, when allowed to fully relax during the optimization process, adopt their stringent six-coordinated octahedral structure at the expense of detaching a one-backbone carbonyl ligand and shifting it to the second coordination layer of the metal. The binding of Mg2+ and Sr2+ to a rigid/inflexible calcium-designed binding pocket requires an additional energy penalty for the binding ion; however, the price for doing so (to be paid by Sr2+) is much less than that of Mg2+. The results obtained delineate the key factors controlling the competition between metal cations for the receptor and shed light on some aspects of strontium’s therapeutic effects.
