JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:2783-2791. [PMID: 38009805 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lycopene (LYC), a carotenoid found in abundance in ripe red fruits, exhibits higher singlet oxygen quenching activity than other carotenoids. However, the stability of LYC is extremely poor due to its high double-bond content. In this paper, a nano-encapsulation strategy based on highly stable marine-derived ferritin GF1 nanocages was used to improve the thermal stability and oxidation resistance of LYC, thereby boosting its functional effectiveness and industrial applicability. RESULTS The preparation of GF1-LYC nanoparticles benefited from the pH-responsive reversible self-assembly of GF1 to capture LYC molecules into GF1 cavities with a LYC-to-protein ratio of 51 to 1. After the encapsulation of the LYC, the reassembled GF1 nanocages maintained intact morphology and good monodispersity. The GF1-LYC nanoparticles incorporated the characteristic LYC peaks in spectrograms, and their powder form contained the crystalline form of LYC. Molecular docking revealed that LYC bound with the inner triple-axis channel areas of GF1, interacting with VAL139, LYS72, LYS65, TYR69, PHE129, HIS133, HIS62, and TYR134 amino acids through hydrophobic bonds. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy also demonstrated the bonding of GF1 and LYC. In comparison with free LYC, GF1 reduced the thermal degradation of encapsulated LYC at 37 °C significantly and maintained the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-scavenging ability of LYC. CONCLUSION As expected, the water solubility, thermal stability, and antioxidant capacity of encapsulated LYC from GF1-LYC nanoparticles was notably improved in comparison with free LYC, indicating that the shell-like marine ferritin nanoplatform might enhance the stable delivery of LYC and promote its utilization in the field of food nutrition and in other industries. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Ferroptosis as a promising method of cancer treatment heavily relies on the intracellular iron ion level. Herein, a new iron-supplement nanodrug was developed by conjugating transferrin-homing peptide T10 on the surface of cross-linked lipoic acid vesicles (T10@cLAV), which could hijack blood transferrin (Tf) and specifically deliver it to tumor cells to elevate the Fe2+ level. Meanwhile, the intracellular degradation product of cLAV, dihydrolipoic acid, could regenerate Fe2+ to further boost the ferroptosis. The results disclosed that T10@cLAV achieved tumor inhibition comparable to that of cisplatin at a dose as low as 5 mg/kg in the HeLa tumor-bearing nude mice model and caused no toxicity at the dose up to 300 mg/kg. This tactful iron-supplement strategy of hijacking blood Tf is superior to the current strategies: one is the induction of intracellular ferritin degradation, which is limited by the low content of ferritin, and the other is the delivery of iron-based materials, which easily causes adverse effects.

Abstract
MnO2 is a nanozyme that inhibits the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into a hydroxyl radical (OH•), thus preventing its conversion into reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oyster ferritin (GF1) is a macromolecular protein that provides uniform size and high stability and serves as an excellent template for the biomineralization of nanozyme. This study presents a unique method in which MnO2 is grown in situ in the GF1 cavity, yielding a structurally stable ferritin-based nanozyme (GF1@Mn). GF1@Mn is demonstrated to be stable at 80 °C and pH 4-8, exhibiting a higher affinity with H2O2 than many other catalases (CAT) with a Michaelis constant (Km) of 25.45 mmol/L. In vitro experiments have demonstrated the potential of GF1@Mn to enhance cell survival by reducing nitric oxide (NO) production while mitigating macrophage damage from ROS. The findings are essential to developing ferritin-based nanozymes and hold great potential for applications in functional food development.

Abstract
Lead can induce oxidative stress and increase lipid peroxidation in biofilms, leading to liver damage and physiological dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate how oyster ferritin (GF1) attenuates lead-induced oxidative damage to the liver in vitro and in vivo. Animal experiments have confirmed that lead exposure can lead to oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation of the liver, and ferritin can regulate the activity of antioxidant enzymes and alleviate pathological changes in the liver. At the same time, oyster ferritin can regulate the expression of oxidative stress-related genes and reduce the expression of inflammasome-related genes. In addition, lead can induce apoptosis and mitophagy, leading to overproduction of reactive oxygen species and cell death, which can be effectively alleviated by oyster ferritin. Overall, this study provides a theoretical foundation for the use of oyster ferritin as a means of mitigating and preventing lead-induced damage.

Abstract
Ferritin has a unique hollow spherical structure, which makes it a promising nanocarrier for food functional substances. In this study, a new ferritin was successfully extracted from the liver of Northern pike, purified, and identified. We used the reversible self-assembly characteristics of ferritin to fabricate chlorogenic acid (CA)-loaded apoferritin (Apo) complex (Apo-CA) and sodium alginate (SA)-apoferritin (Apo) co-encapsulate system. Apo-CA was encapsulated into the SA system to form SA-Apo-CA. The fabricated composites were analyzed using particle size, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, flourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope. Physicochemical property of analysis confirmed th successful preparation of Apo-CA/SA-Apo-CA and improved thermal and UV radiation stability. The effect of sustained-release of CA were tested in vitro of simulated gastrointestinal tract digestion. SA-Apo-CA exhibited greater release ability than unencapsulated CA and Apo-CA. This study provides a new strategy for designing a multilayer delivery system with improved stability and sustained-release property.

Abstract
The conversion of toxic Fe2+ into non-toxic Fe3+ stored in the inner cavity of ferritin nanocage could effectively reduce the occurrence of the Fenton reaction and inhibit the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we reveal that oyster ferritin (GF1) can rely on its high catalytic activity (7.7 times that of rHuHF) and high binding ability of Fe2+ (9.1 times that of rHuHF) to reduce the precursors of Fenton reaction, thus inhibiting the occurrence of Fenton reaction and slowing down reactive oxygen species-mediated inflammation. The above significant advantage of GF1 can be attributed to the Asp at the position 120th, which could increase the negatively charged area of three-fold channels from 37.8% (rHuHF) to 67.8% and then enhance its oxidation rate and ability of GF1. The findings are of great value in advancing novel nanoparticle drug design based on crystalline structure.

Abstract
Ferritin, as an iron storage protein, regulates iron metabolism and delivers bioactive substances. It has been regarded as a safe, new type of natural iron supplement, with high bioavailability. In this paper, we extracted and purified ferritin from northern pike liver (NPLF). The aggregation stabilities, assemble properties, and structural changes in NPLF were investigated using electrophoresis, dynamic light scattering (DLS), circular dichroism (CD), UV–Visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) under various thermal treatments. The solubility, iron concentration, and monodispersity of NPLF all decreased as the temperature increased, and macromolecular aggregates developed. At 60 °C and 70 °C, the α-helix content of ferritin was greater. The content of α-helix were reduced to 8.10% and 1.90% at 90 °C and 100 °C, respectively, indicating the protein structure became loose and lost its self-assembly ability. Furthermore, when treated below 80 °C, NPLF maintained a complete cage-like shape, according to the microstructure. Partially unfolded structures reassembled into tiny aggregates at 80 °C. These findings suggest that mild thermal treatment (80 °C) might inhibit ferritin aggregation while leaving its self-assembly capacity unaffected. Thus, this study provides a theoretical basis for the processing and use of NPLF.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions pollution can cause damage to human body through food, so the development of a new kind of macromolecular that can remove heavy metal ions damage has a good application prospect. The possibilities of removing heavy metal ions from food system with ferritin were studied in this paper. In this study, oyster ferritin (GF1) can resistant to denaturation induced by Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr3+ and still maintains its basic structure. GF1 can bind more Pb2+, Cd2+, Cr3+ than recombinant human H-chain ferritin (rHuHF), especially Pb2+, and the findings suggest that each GF1 can capture about 51.42 Pb2+ in solution. The hard and soft acids and base also verifies that Pb2+ have stronger binding ability to the key amino acids at the outer end of the three-fold symmetry channel. Cells preprotected by ferritin could resistant to heavy metal ions. And GF1 can reduce the high blood lead in mice and may play a role in alleviating lead poisoning in vivo. All findings demonstrated that GF1 can be used as a novel macromolecule to bind heavy metal ions, and the study can broaden the research scope of ferritin in contaminated food systems.

Abstract
Prokaryotic expression systems are widely used to produce many types of biologics because of their extreme conveniences and unmatchable cost. However, production of recombinant human ferritin light chain (rhFTL) protein is largely restrained because its expression in Escherichia coli tends to form inclusion bodies (IBs). In this study, a prokaryotic expression vector (FTL-pBV220) harboring the rhFTL gene was constructed using a pBV220 plasmid. The tag-free rhFTL was highly expressed and almost entirely converted to soluble form, and thus the rhFTL was successfully self-assembled into uniform nanoparticles in E. coli. To establish a simplified downstream process, a precipitation procedure based on the optimized incubation temperature, pH condition, and ionic strength was developed to remove impurities from the crude lysate supernatant. The rhFTL retained in the clarified supernatant was subsequently purified in a single step using Capto Butyl column resulting in a considerable recovery and high purity. The purified rhFTL was characterized and verified by mass spectrometry and spectral and morphological analyses. The results revealed that rhFTL exhibited highly ordered and fairly compact structures and the spherical structures were preserved.

Abstract
Recently, owing to well-controlled release, enhanced distribution and increased permeability, nanocarriers used for alternative drug and food-delivery strategies have received increasingly attentions. Nanocarriers have attracted a large amount of interest as potential carriers of various bioactive molecules for multiple applications. Drug and food-based delivery via polymeric-based nanocarriers and lipid-based nanocarriers has been widely investigated. Nanocarriers, especially liposomes, are more and more widely used in the area of novel nano-pharmaceutical or food-based design. Herein, we aimed to discuss the recent advancement of different surface-engineered nanocarriers type, along with cutting-edge applications for food and nanomedicine and highlight the alternative of phytochemical as nanocarrier. Additionally, safety concern of nanocarriers was also highlighted.
