Abstract
Zinc, a crucial trace element is vital for the growth and development of humans. It is frequently described as 'the flower of life' and 'the source of intelligence'. Zinc supplements play a pivotal role in addressing zinc deficiency by serving as a vital source of this essential micronutrients, effectively replenishing depleted zinc levels in the body. In this paper, we first described the biological behavior of zinc in the human body and briefly described the physiological phenomena associated with zinc levels. The benefits and drawbacks of various zinc supplement forms are then discussed, with emphasis on the most recent zinc supplement formulations. Finally, the application of zinc supplements in food, medicine, and animal husbandry is further summarized. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Biomaterials in Cancer Therapy: Investigating the Interaction between Kaempferol and Zinc Ions through Computational, Spectroscopic and Biological Analyses. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:2526. [PMID: 38893790 PMCID: PMC11172956 DOI: 10.3390/ma17112526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
A complex of the natural flavonoid kaempferol with zinc (Kam-Zn) was synthesized, and its physicochemical properties were investigated using spectroscopic methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and theoretical chemistry. Biological studies were conducted to evaluate the cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects of these complexes on MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Treatment with Kam 100 µM (84.86 ± 7.79%; 64.37 ± 8.24%) and Kam-Zn 100 µM (91.87 ± 3.80%; 87.04 ± 13.0%) showed no significant difference in proliferation between 16 h and 32 h, with the gap width remaining stable. Both Kam-Zn 100 μM and 200 μM demonstrated effective antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity, significantly decreasing cell viability and causing cell death and morphology changes. Antioxidant assays revealed that Kam (IC50 = 5.63 ± 0.06) exhibited higher antioxidant potential compared to Kam-Zn (IC50 = 6.80 ± 0.075), suggesting that zinc coordination impacts the flavonoid's radical scavenging activity by the coordination of metal ion to hydroxyl groups. Computational studies revealed significant modifications in the electronic structure and properties of Kam upon forming 1:1 complexes with Zn2+ ions. Spectroscopy analyses confirmed structural changes, highlighting shifts in absorption peaks and alterations in functional group vibrations indicative of metal-ligand interactions. FT-IR and UV-Vis spectra analysis suggested that Zn coordinates with the 3-OH and 4C=O groups of ligand. These findings suggest that the Kam-Zn complex exhibits interesting antiproliferative, cytotoxic and modified antioxidant effects on MCF-7 cells, providing valuable insights into their structural and anticancer properties.

Abstract
Kaempferol (KPR), a flavonoid compound found in various plants and foods, has garnered attention for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. In preliminary studies, KPR can modulate several signaling pathways involved in inflammation, making it a candidate for treating cholecystitis. This study aimed to explore the effects and mechanisms of KPR on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human gallbladder epithelial cells (HGBECs). To assess the impact of KPR on HGBECs, the HGBECs were divided into control, KPR, LPS, LPS + KPR, and LPS + UDCA groups. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were evaluated by MTT assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, respectively, and concentrations of KPR (10-200 μM) were tested. LPS-induced inflammatory responses in HGBECs were to create an in vitro model of cholecystitis. The key inflammatory markers (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) levels were quantified using ELISA, The modulation of the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway was measured by western blot using specific antibodies against pathway components (p-IκBα, IκBα, p-p65, p65, p-JNK, JNK, p-ERK, ERK, p-p38, and p38). The cell viability and LDH levels in HGBECs were not significantly affected by 50 μM KPR, thus it was selected as the optimal KPR intervention concentration. KPR increased the viability of LPS-induced HGBECs. Additionally, KPR inhibited the inflammatory factors level (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) and protein expression (iNOS and COX-2) in LPS-induced HGBECs. Furthermore, KPR reversed LPS-induced elevation of p-IκBα/IκBα, p-p65/p65, p-JNK/JNK, p-ERK/ERK, and p-p38/p38 ratios. KPR attenuates the LPS-induced inflammatory response in HGBECs, possibly by inhibiting MAPK/NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
The role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating diseases is receiving increasing attention. Chinese herbal medicine is an important part of TCM with various applications and the active ingredients extracted from Chinese herbal medicines have physiological and pathological effects. Tissue engineering combines cell biology and materials science to construct tissues or organs in vitro or in vivo. TCM has been proposed by the World Health Organization as an effective treatment modality. In recent years, the potential use of TCM in tissue engineering has been demonstrated. In this review, the classification and efficacy of TCM active ingredients and delivery systems are discussed based on the TCM theory. We also summarized the current application status and broad prospects of Chinese herbal active ingredients in different specialized biomaterials in the field of tissue engineering. This review provides novel insights into the integration of TCM and modern Western medicine through the application of Chinese medicine in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is one of the most important trace elements in the human body and plays a key role in various physiological processes, especially in bone metabolism. Zn-containing materials have been reported to enhance bone repair through promoting cell proliferation, osteogenic activity, angiogenesis, and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation. Therefore, Zn-based biomaterials are potential substitutes for traditional bone grafts. In this review, the specific mechanisms of bone formation promotion by Zn-based biomaterials were discussed, and recent developments in their application in bone tissue engineering were summarized. Moreover, the challenges and perspectives of Zn-based biomaterials were concluded, revealing their attractive potential and development directions in the future.

Abstract
The flavonoid naringenin and a family of naringenin derivative Cu(II) complexes having phenanthroline-based second ligands were selected to study alkaline phosphatase activation. This enzyme plays a critical role in tissue formation, increasing the inorganic phosphate formation, favoring mineralization, and being essential to producing bone mineralization. The effects of those compounds on the function and structure of the enzyme were evaluated by kinetic measurements, fluorescence, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectroscopies. The results showed that naringenin did not affect alkaline phosphatase activity, having a value of the Michaelis-Menten-constant close to the enzyme (Km = 3.07 × 10-6). The binary complex, Cu(II)-naringenin, and the ternary complex Cu(II)-naringenin-phenanthroline behaved as an enzyme activator in all the concentrations range used in this study. Those complexes increased in c.a. 1.9% the catalytic efficiency concerning enzyme and naringenin. The ternary complex Cu(II)-naringenin-bathophenanthroline, provokes an activator mixed effect, dependent on the substrate concentrations. The different kinetic behavior can be correlated with different conformational changes observed under the interaction with ALP. Fluorescence experiments showed a raising of the binding constant with temperature. FTIR determinations showed that the complex with bathophenanthroline modifies the ALP structure but maintains the helical structure. The other copper complexes provoked a structural unfolding, decreasing the α-helix content. None of them affect the dephosphorylation enzyme ability. Even though the interactions and structural modifications on ALP are different, it is evident that the presence of copper favors enzymatic activity. The observed electrostatic interactions probably benefit the dissociation of the bound phosphate. The results suggest potential biological applications for the studied compounds.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor promotes osteoblast differentiation of dental pulp stem cells and bone formation in a zebrafish scale regeneration model. Peptides 2023; 163:170974.

Abstract
Bone cells express the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R). However, its presence and role in human dental pulp derived stem cells (hDPSCs) remains elusive. Hence, in the current study, we isolated hDPSCs and differentiated them into osteoblasts, where GLP-1R expression was found to be upregulated during osteoblast differentiation. GLP-1 receptor agonist, liraglutide peptide treatment, increased osteoblast differentiation in hDPSCs by increasing calcium deposition, ALP activity, and osteoblast marker genes, Runx2, type 1 col, osteonectin, and osteocalcin. Furthermore, activation of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) LINC00968 and microRNA-3658 signalling increased Runx2 expression. Specifically, liraglutide increased LncRNA-LINC00968 expression while decreasing miR-3658 expression. LINC00968 targets miR-3658, and miR-3658 targets Runx2. Additionally, in an in-vivo study, zebrafish scale regeneration model, liraglutide promoted calcium deposition, osteoblastic cell count, collagen 1α, osteonectin, osteocalcin, runx2a MASNA isoform expression (transcribed from promoter P1), and Ca/P ratio in scales. Overall, GLP-1R activation promotes osteoblast differentiation via Runx2/LncRNA-LINC00968/miR-3658 signalling in hDPSCs and promotes bone formation in zebrafish scale regeneration.

Abstract
Inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity is an effective way for controlling postprandial blood glucose-related diabetes. The study found that hesperetin-Cu(II) complex (Hsp-Cu(II)) exhibited a stronger inhibitory ability on α-amylase and α-glucosidase compared to hesperetin (Hsp), with smaller IC50 values of Hsp-Cu(II) (60.3 ± 0.9 µM for α-amylase; 1.25 ± 0.03 µM for α-glucosidase) than Hsp (115.6 ± 1.1 µM for α-amylase; 55.2 ± 0.1 µM for α-glucosidase). Interestingly, Hsp-Cu(II) and acarbose exerted a synergistic effect on inhibition of α-glucosidase. The binding affinities of Hsp-Cu(II) to α-amylase and α-glucosidase were strong with the Ka values (binding constant) in the magnitude order of 105, which was 9 times larger than Hsp. After interacting, Hsp-Cu(II) reduced α-helix contents of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, resulting in a looser conformation of these two enzymes. Molecular simulations manifested that Hsp-Cu(II) bound to the active center of enzymes driven by hydrogen bonds and interacted with the key catalytic amino acids (α-amylase: Gln63, Asp300 and His305; α-glucosidase: Tyr158, Asp215, Glu277 and Glu411), altering the conformation of enzymes, blocking the entrance of substrates, ultimately reducing the activities of α-glucosidase and α-amylase. This study has demonstrated that Hsp-Cu(II) may be a promising candidate of functional nutritional additive and medicine for the prevention of diabetes.

Abstract
Flavonoid metal complexes have interesting properties and are widely explored for bone regeneration owing to their potent biological activity. In the present study, we investigated the biocompatibility and osteogenic properties of the Copper(II)-chrysin complex (C/Cu). The biocompatibility of C/Cu was assessed in vitro with human osteoblastic cells and in vivo using chick embryo and zebrafish models. The C/Cu complex was found to be cytofriendly with good biocompatibility. The osteogenic property of C/Cu was studied at cellular and molecular levels. C/Cu promoted mineralization in osteoblastic cultures by increasing ALP activity. At the molecular level, C/Cu significantly promoted the mRNA levels of osteoblast differentiation marker genes such as runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Type 1 collagen and ALP. In addition to this, secretory proteins, osteonectin (ON) and osteocalcin (OC) levels were also stimulated. We have also identified that C/Cu exhibited enhanced osteogenic properties and antibacterial activity compared with Chrysin. Thus, C/Cu can be used as an osteogenic agent in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated that chitosan-applied zebrafish (Danio rerio) tissue metabolite alteration, metabolic discrimination, and metabolic phenotypic expression occurred. The spectroscopy of solid-state 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (ss 1H-NMR) has been used. Chitosan has no, or low, toxicity and is a biocompatible biomaterial; however, the metabolite mechanisms underlying the biological effect of chitosan are poorly understood. The zebrafish is now one of the most popular ecotoxicology models. Zebrafish were exposed to chitosan concentrations of 0, 50, 100, 200, and 500 mg/L, and the body tissue was subjected to metabolites-targeted profiling. The zebrafish samples were measured via solvent-suppressed and T2-filtered methods with in vivo zebrafish metabolites. The metabolism of glutamate, glutamine, glutathione (GSH), taurine, trimethylamine (TMA), and its N-oxide (TMAO) is also significantly altered. Here, we report the quantification of metabolites and the biological application of chitosan. The metabolomics profile of chitosan in zebrafish has been detected, and the results indicated disturbed amino acid metabolism, the TCA cycle, and glycolysis. Our results demonstrate the potential of comparative metabolite profiling for discovering bioactive metabolites and they highlight the power of chitosan-applied chemical metabolomics to uncover new biological insights.

Abstract
Due to the abuse of antibiotics and the emergence of multidrug resistant microorganisms, medical devices, and related biomaterials are at high risk of microbial infection during use, placing a heavy burden on patients and healthcare systems. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs), an emerging organic-inorganic hybrid network system developed gradually in recent years, have exhibited excellent multifunctional properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties by making use of the coordination between phenolic ligands and metal ions. Further, MPNs have received widespread attention in antimicrobial infections due to their facile synthesis process, excellent biocompatibility, and excellent antimicrobial properties brought about by polyphenols and metal ions. In this review, different categories of biomaterials based on MPNs (nanoparticles, coatings, capsules, hydrogels) and their fabrication strategies are summarized, and recent research advances in their antimicrobial applications in biomedical fields (e.g., skin repair, bone regeneration, medical devices, etc.) are highlighted.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a promising method for the repair of difficult-to-heal bone tissue damage by providing three-dimensional structures for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been introduced as an effective global medical program by the World Health Organization, comprising intricate components, and promoting bone regeneration by regulating multiple mechanisms and targets. This study outlines the potential therapeutic capabilities of TCM combined with BTE in bone regeneration. The effective active components promoting bone regeneration can be generally divided into flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, and polyphenols, among others. The chemical structures of the monomers, their sources, efficacy, and mechanisms are described. We summarize the use of compounds and medicinal parts of TCM to stimulate bone regeneration. Finally, the limitations and prospects of applying TCM in BTE are introduced, providing a direction for further development of novel and potential TCM.

Abstract
Kaempferol and its derivatives are naturally occurring phytochemicals with promising bioactivities. This flavonol can reduce the lipid oxidation in the human body, prevent the organs and cell structure from deterioration and protect their functional integrity. This review has extensively highlighted the antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, neuroprotective, and hepatoprotective activity of kaempferol. However, poor water solubility and low bioavailability of kaempferol greatly limit its applications. The utilization of advanced delivery systems can improve its stability, efficacy, and bioavailability. This is the first review that aimed to comprehensively collate some of the vital information published on biosynthesis, mechanism of action, bioactivities, bioavailability, and toxicological potential of kaempferol. Besides, it provides insights into the future direction on the improvement of bioavailability of kaempferol for wide applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is reported that the osteogenesis in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can alleviate osteoporosis progression. It has been found that Kae can promote the osteogenesis in BMSCs. However, the mechanism by which Kae mediates the osteogenesis in BMSCs is largely unknown. METHODS RBMSCs were collected from rats. The cytotoxicity of Kae was detected by CCK-8 assay. The osteogenic calcification in rBMSCs was measured by alizarin red staining, and ALP staining was performed to test the ALP activity in osteoblasts. The binding relationship between SOX2 and miR-124-3p was explored by dual luciferase report assay and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP). RT-qPCR and western blot were performed to assess mRNA and protein levels, respectively. RESULTS Kae (10 μM) significantly increased the calcification, ALP activity, SOX2 level, activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling and inhibited miR-124-3p level in rBMSCs, while knockdown of SOX2 reversed this phenomenon. Meanwhile, SOX2 suppressed the transcription of miR-124-3p, and SOX2 promoted the osteogenic differentiation in rBMSCs via regulation of miR-124-3p. MiR-124-3p could inactivate PI3K/Akt/mTOR to inhibit the osteogenic differentiation. CONCLUSION Kae significantly promoted the osteogenesis in rBMSCs via mediation of SOX2/miR-124-3p/PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis. Thus, our study might shed new lights in exploring new methods against osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bone disorders have become a global concern illustrated with decreased bone mineral density and disruption in microarchitecture of natural bone tissue organization. Natural compounds that promote bone health by augmenting osteoblast functions and suppressing osteoclast functions has gained much attention and offer greater therapeutic value compared to conventional therapies. Amongst several plant-based molecules, flavonoids act as a major combatant in promoting bone health through their multi-faceted biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic properties. They protect bone loss by regulating the signalling cascades involved in osteoblast and osteoclast functions. Flavonoids augment osteoblastogenesis and inhibits osteoclastogenesis through their modulation of various signalling pathways. This review discusses the role of various flavonoids and their molecular mechanisms involved in maintaining bone health by regulating osteoblast and osteoclast functions.

Abstract
We have assessed the molecular role of Rutin and rutin-Zn(II) complex on osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in human dental pulp cells and zebrafish model. The biocompatibility of the rutin-Zn(II) complex was determined using MTT and chick embryotoxicity assays. Alizarin red staining and ALP measurements were performed to study the osteogenic role of Rutin and rutin-Zn(II) complex at the cellular level in hDPSCs. At molecular level, following rutin and rutin-Zn(II) exposure, the mRNA expression profile of osteoblast markers such Runx2, type 1 col, OC, and ON were investigated. In addition to this, the expression of negative regulators of osteoblast development such Smad7, Smurf1, and HDAC7 waere studied by Real time RT-PCR analysis. The osteogenic role of prepared complex under in vivo was studied by an in-house zebrafish scale model followed by osteoblast differentiation markers expression profiling and Ca:P level measurement by ICP-MS. Rutin and the rutin-Zn(II) complex were found to be non-toxic till 10 μM and increased the expression of osteoblast differentiation marker genes. It also enhanced calcium deposition in both in vitro and in vivo models. Osteogenic property of rutin-Zn(II) in hDPSCs was found be mediated by Smad7, Smurf1, and HDAC7 and enhancing Runx2 expression. Our study warrants the possible use of rutin-Zn(II) as naïve agent or in combination with other bone scaffolding systems/materials for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Flavonoid-metal complexes possess more effective functional properties than flavonoids. However, the research of iso-orientin (Iso)-metal complex has rarely been reported. In this study, Iso-zinc complex (Iso-Zn, [Zn3(C21H14O11)2]·4H2O) had been synthesized and characterized. From the UV-vis spectra and IR spectra, the 4-carbonyl group in the C-ring of Iso was involved in the metal chelation besides A-ring and B-ring hydroxyl group. Thermal gravimetric analysis and the water contact angle test showed that Iso-Zn had higher thermal stability and better hydrophilicity than Iso, respectively. The radical scavenger and antibacterial potencies of Iso-Zn were significantly stronger than those of Iso. Furthermore, Iso-Zn showed lower erythrocytes hemolysis ratio and cytotoxicity. The present study demonstrated that Iso-Zn exhibited better water solubility, antioxidative and antibacterial activities, and lower cytotoxicity and provided a theoretical basis for expanding the utilization scope of Iso through enhancing its hydrophilicity.

Abstract
Biomaterials function as an essential aspect of tissue engineering and have a profound impact on cell growth and subsequent tissue regeneration. The development of new biomaterials requires a potential platform to understand the host-biomaterial interaction, which is crucial for successful biomaterial implantation. Biomaterials analyzed in rodent models for in vivo research are cost-effective but tedious, and the practice has many technical difficulties. As an alternative, zebrafish provide an excellent biomaterial testing platform over the current rodent models. During growth and recovery, zebrafish bone morphogenesis shows a variety of inductive signals involved in the cycle that are close to those influencing differentiation of bone and cartilage in mammals, including humans. This platform is cheap, optically transparent, quick to change genes, and provides reliable reproducibility on short life cycles. Chitosan is a well-known biomaterial in the field of tissue engineering. In view of its documented use in bone regeneration, the biological characterization of chitosan-based bioactive materials in the zebrafish model has been featured in an outstanding note. We, therefore, outlined this review of the zebrafish as a potential in vivo research model for the rapid characterization of the biological properties of new biomaterials for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering compasses the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) along with engineered biomaterial construct to augment bone regeneration. Till now, MSCs were isolated from various sources and used in cellular constructs. For the first time, in this study, MSCs were isolated from human Ovarian Follicular Fluid (OFF) and characterized by CD 44+ and CD 105+ markers via confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. Additionally, MSCs stemness, proliferation and colony-forming unit ability, multi-lineage differentiation potential were also studied. To test its suitability for bone tissue engineering applications, we grew the MSCs with the conditioned medium obtained from biocomposite scaffold by fusing a natural polymer, Chitosan (CS) and a synthetic polymer, Polycaprolactone (PCL) and the scaffold were coated with Zinc divalent ions to impart osteogenic properties. The physico-chemical characterization of scaffold, such as FTIR, XRD, and SEM studies was carried out. The biological characterization showed that the scaffolds were compatible with MSCs and promoted osteoblast differentiation which was confirmed at both cellular and molecular levels. The cellular construct increased calcium deposition, analyzed by alizarin red staining and ALP activity at cellular level. At the molecular level, the osteoblast markers expression such as Runx2 and type 1 collagen mRNAs, and osteonectin (ON) and osteocalcin (OC) secretory proteins were increased in the presence of scaffold. Overall, the current study recommends that MSCs can be easily obtained from human waste OFF, and grown in standard in vitro conditions. Successful growth of such MSCs with CS/PCL/Zn scaffold opens new avenues in utilizing the cell source for bone tissue engineering.
