Exploring thyroxine binding globulin structural changes and its release from human hepatoblastoma cells upon interaction with silica particles: A prelude to unrevealing the mechanism of thyroid hormone dysregulation. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 251:126240. [PMID: 37567530 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Endocrine dysregulation in the presence of environmental chemical risk factors is a global adverse health concern. The aim of this investigation was to explore the structural changes and binding affinity of thyroxine (T4) binding protein (TBG) upon interaction with SiO2 particles as the second largest mineral in the Earth's crust and one of the most important constituents of rock, soil, and dust. Therefore, the interaction of TBG with SiO2 particles was assessed by fluorescence quenching, molecular docking, ANS and synchronous fluorescence, and far-UV CD analyses. Also, the release of TBG from human hepatoblastoma cell line, Hep G2, was assessed by ELISA assay. The results displayed that the value of stoichiometry of binding site (n) of TBG for T4 was approximately equal to one, which was reduced to 0.36 in the presence of SiO2 particles. Also, the binding affinity (Kb) values revealed that the binding affinity between T4 and TBG was strong (97.90 × 105 L/mol), while the presence of SiO2 particles resulted in the calculation of a Kb around 0.00159 × 105 L/mol, which was significantly lower than that of the absence of SiO2 particles. This data was also verified by molecular docking analyses which indicated that SiO2 particles interacted with the T4 binding pocket of TBG. Moreover, further studies exhibited that although the equimolar concentration of T4 to TBG resulted in the superior stability of TBG-T4 complex relative to free TBG, the presence of SiO2 particles with the same concentration led to denaturation of the secondary structure of TBG. Furthermore, it was seen that the amount of released TBG in the cell culture medium of Hep G2 was about 2.21 ng/mL protein, whereas this amount in SiO2 particles-treated cell group was significantly reduced to 1.71 ng/mL protein (*P < 0.05). In conclusion, this study implies that SiO2 particles show the potential to result in inhibition of TBG release, TBG denaturation, and interfere with TBG binding affinity which may lead to dysregulation of the thyroid hormone transport and associated signaling pathways.

Abstract
In the presented study, advanced experimental techniques, including electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies [with Resonance Light Scattering (RLS)], measurements of fluorescence lifetimes in the frequency domain, calculations of dipole moment fluctuations, quantum yields, and radiative and non-radiative transfer constants, were used to characterize a selected analogue from the group of 1,3,4-thiadiazole, namely: 4-[5-(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]benzene-1,3-diol (NTBD), intrinsically capable to demonstrate enol → keto excited-states intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) effects. The results of spectroscopic analyses conducted in solvent media as well as selected mixtures were complemented by considering biological properties of the derivative in question, particularly in terms of its potential microbiological activity. The compound demonstrated a dual fluorescence effect in non-polar solvents, e.g. chloroform and DMSO/H2O mixtures, while in polar solvents only a single emission maximum was detected. In the studied systems, ESIPT effects were indeed observed, as was the associated phenomenon of dual fluorescence, and, as demonstrated for the DMSO: H2O mixtures, the same could be relatively easily induced by aggregation effects related to aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Subsequently conducted quantum-chemical (TD-)DFT calculations supported further possibility of ESIPT effects. The following article provides a comprehensive description of the spectroscopic and biological properties of the analyzed 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives, highlighting its potential applicability as a very good fluorescence probes as well as a compound capable of high microbiological activity.

Abstract
The effect of manganese (Mn) on protein conformation is closely related to its chemical species. To further realize the behavior of different species of Mn in vivo, this study is designed to analyze the separate and simultaneous interactions of Mn(ii) and Mn(iii) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) using multi-spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that the interaction of Mn(ii) or Mn(iii) with BSA is a process of static quenching and Mn(iii) formed a more stable complex. The binding constants and thermodynamic constants indicated that a 1:1 complex was formed between Mn(ii)/Mn(iii) and BSA through a moderate binding force, and hydrophobic interaction played an important role in the binding. UV-Vis spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy results revealed that the conformation changes in BSA induced by Mn(ii)/Mn(iii) binding. The results of the ternary systems suggested that both Mn species interfered the interaction of the other with BSA. The conformation of BSA may change more to adapt to the simultaneous binding to Mn (ii) and Mn (iii) when two Mn species coexist.

Ligand binding constants for human serum albumin evaluated by ratiometric analysis of DSC thermograms. Anal Biochem 2021; 628:114293.

Abstract
This paper describes an expanded application of our recently reported method (Eskew et al., Analytical Biochemistry 621,1 2021) utilizing thermogram signals for thermal denaturation measured by differential scanning calorimetry. Characteristic signals were used to quantitatively evaluate ligand binding constants for human serum albumin. In our approach the ensemble of temperature dependent calorimetric responses for various protein-ligand mixtures and native HSA were compared, in a ratiometric manner, to extract binding constants and stoichiometries. Protein/ligand mixtures were prepared at various ligand concentrations and subjected to thermal denaturation analysis by calorimetry. Measurements provided the melting temperature, Tm, and free-energy ΔGcal(37°C) for melting ligand-bound Albumin as a function of ligand concentration. Concentration dependent behaviors of these parameters derived from protein/ligand mixtures were used to construct dose-response curves. Fitting of dose-response curves yielded quantitative evaluation of the ligand binding constant and semi-quantitative estimates of the binding stoichiometry. Many of the ligands had known binding affinity for Albumin with binding constants reported in the literature. Evaluated binding parameters for the ligands impressively agreed with reported literature values determined using other standard experimental methods. Results are reported for 29 drug ligands binding to Albumin. These validate our calorimetry-based process for applications in pre-clinical drug screening.

Abstract
The ability of drugs to diffuse through the lipid bilayer of cell membranes is important for their metabolism, distribution, and efficacy. In this study, the interaction between phloretin and human serum albumin (HSA) in an L-egg lecithin phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposome suspension was investigated by fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy. The spectroscopic and fluorescence quenching experiments show that phloretin molecules penetrated into the lumen of the liposome. The partition coefficient of phloretin in the PC liposome suspensions was calculated from fluorescence quenching measurements. The results show that phloretin efficiently quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a combination of dynamic and static quenching. The values of Gibbs free energy, and the enthalpy and entropic change in the binding process of phloretin with HSA in the PC liposome suspensions were negative, suggesting that the binding process of phloretin and HSA was spontaneous. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals force interactions play an important role in the interaction between the two molecules. In addition, binding of phloretin to HSA in liposome suspensions was investigated by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many diseases can be treated with metformin. People with serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels higher than 10 mIU/L are at a risk of cardiovascular events. Some studies have suggested that metformin can lower serum TSH levels to a subnormal level in patients with hyperthyrotropinaemia or hypothyroidism. OBJECTIVE The objective of this analysis is to evaluate the effect of metformin treatment on serum TSH, free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4) levels and other associated physiological indices. METHODS A comprehensive search using the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central databases was undertaken for controlled trials on the effect of metformin on serum TSH, FT3, and FT4 levels and associated physiological indices. The primary outcome measures were serum TSH, FT3 and FT4 levels, thyroid size, thyroid nodule size, blood pressure, heart rate, body weight, and body mass index (BMI). The final search was conducted in April 2019. RESULTS Six RCTs were included. A total of 494 patients met the inclusion criteria. Metformin treatment did not significantly lower the serum TSH levels at 3 or 6 months but did at 12 months. Moreover, forest plots also suggested that metformin can significantly lower the serum TSH levels in patients with normal thyroid function but cannot statistically change the serum TSH levels in patients with abnormal thyroid function. In addition, metformin treatment clearly lowered the serum FT3 levels and had no significant effect on serum FT4 levels. Lastly, metformin cannot significantly change the systolic blood pressure (SBP) or BMI but can clearly increase the diastolic blood pressure (DBP). CONCLUSION Metformin treatment can significantly lower the serum TSH levels, and this effect was much clearer after a 12-month treatment duration and in people with normal thyroid function. However, metformin cannot significantly change the serum FT4 levels or lower serum FT3 levels in people with non-thyroid cancer diseases. In addition, metformin can significantly increase DBP, but it has no clear effect on SBP or BMI.

Abstract
Fludarabine (Flu) is widely used to treat B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. HSA is of the essence to human, especially in blood circulation system. The interaction mechanism between Flu and HSA was studied by comprehensive spectroscopic methods and molecular docking technique. UV-vis and FL spectrum results indicated that Flu bond with HSA, and there was a new complex produced at the binding site I in subdomain IIA. Association constants at 298 K were 1.637 × 104 M-1 and 1.552 × 104 M-1 at 310 K, respectively. The negative enthalpy (ΔH) and positive entropy (ΔS) values for the interaction revealed that the binding behavior was driven by hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonds. The results obtained from UV, RLS spectra, 3D fluorescence and CD spectrum illustrated that Flu could change the secondary structure of HSA. According to molecule docking result, the binding energy of interaction is -11.15 kcal/mol.

Abstract
Two novel water-soluble pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives, 5-chloro-7-(4-methyl-piperazin -1-yl)-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (CMPS) and N'-(5-chloro-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-N,N-dimethyl -propane-1,3-diamine (NCPS), were synthesized and characterized with antibacterial activity. Then, the interactions of these compounds with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and molecular docking. The results indicate that both CMPS and NCPS could effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via a static quenching process. The energy transfer from BSA to CMPS and NCPS may occur with high probability. Both CMPS and NCPS bind in the site I of BSA. The hydrophobic force and hydrogen bonds play major roles in the complex formation. Binding constants for both systems show that the affinity of CMPS binding to BSA is stronger than that of NCPS. The results of three-dimensional fluorescence and CD spectra reveal that the binding of CMPS and NCPS to BSA can induce conformational changes of BSA, and the influence of CMPS is slightly stronger than that of NCPS.

Abstract
As the most abundant protein with a variety of physiological functions, albumin has been used extensively for the delivery of therapeutic molecules. Thiolactone chemistry provides a powerful tool to prepare spin-labeled albumin-based multimodal imaging probes and therapeutic agents. We report the synthesis of a tamoxifen homocysteine thiolactone derivative and its use in thiol-'click' chemistry to prepare multi-functionalized serum albumin. The released sulfhydryl group of the homocysteine functional handle was labeled with a nitroxide reagent to prepare a spin-labeled albumin-tamoxifen conjugate confirmed by MALDI-TOF-MS, EPR spectroscopy, UV-vis and fluorescent emission spectra. This is the basis for a novel multimodal tamoxifen-albumin theranostic with a significant (dose-dependent) inhibitory effect on the proliferation of malignant cells. The response of human glioblastoma multiforme T98G cells and breast cancer MCF-7 cells to tamoxifen and its albumin conjugates was different in tumor cells with different expression level of ERα in our experiments. These results provide further impetus to develop a serum protein for delivery of tamoxifen to cancer cells.

Abstract
This study is focused on the fabrication and characterization of titanium oxide (TiO2) NPs. Afterwards; the interaction of TiO2 NPs with human hemoglobin (Hb) was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking studies. Also, the cytotoxic effect of fabricated TiO2 NPs against human white blood cells (WBCs) was considered by MTT assay. The antibacterial effect of synthesized NPs was examined on Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853); Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). TEM and DLS investigations showed that the synthesized TiO2 NPs have a narrow nano-sized distribution. XRD pattern of the fabricated NPs exhibited that the TiO2 NPs contain anatase phase. Similarity in amide I and II signal intensities showed that secondary structure of the adsorbed Hb is preserved. The intrinsic fluorescence study revealed that the fluorescence quenching of Hb was done by complex formation between Hb and TiO2 NPs trough the hydrogen bond and van der Waals interactions. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy determined that interaction of TiO2 NPs with Hb did not unfold the Hb structure in the vicinity of the Tyr and Trp residues. Molecular docking study depicted that Glu-95, Thr-134 and Tyr-140 are involved in the formation of hydrophilic bonds. MTT data and antibacterial assays indicated that TiO2 NPs endow distinguished antibacterial activities against Gram-negative and Gram positive strains at safe concentrations. This study may reveal that fabricated TiO2 NP can be used as a safe and potent antibacterial agent. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In this paper, brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) was selected as a sonosensitizer. The sonodynamic damage to human serum albumin (HSA) in the presence of BCB and the mechanism were studied by means of fluorescence and absorption spectra. Firstly, BCB could quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA obviously and the quenching mechanism was static quenching due to the formation of HSA-BCB complex. The results of the displacement experiments and the molecular modeling suggested that the binding site of BCB on HSA was site I, and hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonds played major roles in the interaction between HSA and BCB. Secondly, the damage of HSA induced by the combined effects of ultrasonic irradiation and BCB was more efficient than that only BCB or ultrasound irradiation, which confirmed that BCB had sonodynamic activity. The damage degree of HSA was positively correlated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in the system, which indicated that ultrasound could activate BCB to produce ROS, and the kinds of ROS produced by the combined effects of ultrasonic irradiation and BCB were mainly hydroxyl free radical, singlet oxygen and superoxide anion radical.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein found in human blood and is extensively employed in clinical applications such as hypovolemic shock treatment. Also, there has been a lot of attempt to use HSA as a carrier to deliver various drugs to their specific targets. Thus, clarify of structure, dynamics, functions, and features of HSA-drug complexes play an important role from the viewpoint of pharmaceutical and/or biochemical sciences. In this study, the interaction of letrozole, as a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, with HSA has been studied by combining different techniques such as UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and computational methods. The binding of letrozole quenches the serum albumin fluorescence intensities. A clear decrease in fluorescence intensities of letrozole-HSA complex with the increase in temperature showed the static mode of fluorescence quenching. The results of Stern-Volmer procedure analysis showed that letrozole is bound only to a site from the HSA. The results of thermodynamic analysis showed that reaction between HSA and letrozole is spontaneous and exothermic. Furthermore, by monitoring the intrinsic fluorescence and using site markers competitive measurement, the binding of letrozole in the neighborhood of Sudlow's site I of HSA has been proved. Finally, computational methods substantiated the experimental findings and it was revealed that letrozole was bound to Arg-209, Trp-214, Ala-350, and Gly-238 residues of subdomain IIA and IIIA of HSA, respectively.

Abstract
Study on the side effects of the nanoparticles (NPs) can provide useful information regarding their biological and medical applications. Herein, the colloidal stability of the silicon dioxide NPs (SiO2 NPs) in the absence and presence of tau was investigated by TEM and DLS techniques. Afterwards, the thermodynamic parameters of interaction between SiO2 NPs and tau were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy and docking studies. Finally, the cytotoxic effects of SiO2 NPs on the viability of PC12 cells were investigated by MTT, AO/EB staining and flow cytometry assays. TEM, DLS, and zeta potential investigations revealed that tau can reduce the colloidal stability of SiO2 NPs. Fluorescence spectroscopy study indicated that SiO2 NPs bound to the tau with high affinity through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions. Docking study also determined that Ser, Thr and Tyr residues provide a polar microenvironment for SiO2 NPs/tau interaction. Cellular studies demonstrated that SiO2 NPs can induce cell mortality through both apoptosis and necrosis mechanisms. Therefore, it may be concluded that the biological systems such as nervous system proteins can affect the colloidal stability of NPs and vice versa NPs in the biological systems can bind to proteins and cell membranes non-specifically and may induce toxicity.

Abstract
To understand drug-protein dynamics, it is necessary to account for drug molecular flexibility and binding site plasticity. Herein, we exploit fluorescence from a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, AG1478, as a reporter of its conformation and binding site environment when complexed with its cognate kinase. Water-soluble kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase APH(3')-Ia and mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (MAPK14), were chosen for this study. On the basis of our prior work, the AG1478 conformation (planar or twisted) was inferred from the fluorescence excitation spectrum and the polarity of the AG1478-binding site was deduced from the fluorescence emission spectrum, while red-edge excitation shift (REES) probed the heterogeneity of the binding site (protein conformation and hydration) distributions in the protein conformational ensemble. In the AG1478-APH(3')-Ia complex, both twisted (or partially twisted) and planar AG1478 conformations were evidenced from emission wavelength-dependent excitation spectra. The binding site environment provided by APH(3')-Ia was moderately polar (λmax = 480 nm) with evidence for considerable heterogeneity (REES = 34 nm). In contrast, in the AG1478-MAPK14 complex, AG1478 was in a predominantly planar conformation with a lower degree of conformational heterogeneity. The binding site environment provided by the MAPK14 protein was of relatively low polarity (λmax = 430 nm) with a smaller degree of heterogeneity (REES = 11 nm). The results are compared with the available X-ray data and discussed in the context of our current understanding of tyrosine kinase inhibitor conformation and protein conformational ensembles.
