Heliyon 2024; 10:e29729. [PMID: 38698985 PMCID: PMC11064092 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29729] [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: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Stem cells exhibit pluripotency and self-renewal abilities. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells can potentially be used to reconstruct various tissues. They possess significant versatility and alleviate various aging-related diseases. Unfortunately, aging leads to senescence, apoptosis, and a decline in regenerative capacity in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. These changes necessitate a strategy to mitigate the effects of aging on stem cells. Ohwia caudata (O. caudata) has therapeutic effects against several illnesses. However, studies on whether O. caudata has therapeutic effects against aging are lacking. In this study, we aimed to identify potential therapeutic anti-aging effects in the crude aqueous extract of O. caudata on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Using 0.1 μM doxorubicin, we induced aging in human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) and evaluated whether various concentrations of O. caudata aqueous extract exhibit anti-aging effects on them. The O. caudata extract exhibited significant antioxidant effects on hADMSCs without any toxicity. Furthermore, after treatment with the O. caudata aqueous extract, the levels of mitochondrial superoxide, DNA double-strand breaks, and telomere shortening were reduced in the hADMSCs subjected to doxorubicin-induced aging. The extract also suppressed doxorubicin-induced aging by upregulating klotho and downregulating p21 in hADMSCs. These findings indicated that the O. caudata extract exhibited anti-aging properties that modulated hADMSC homeostasis. Therefore, it could be a potential candidate for restoring the self-renewal ability and multipotency of aging hADMSCs.

Ohwia caudata aqueous extract attenuates doxorubicin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023; 38:2450-2461. [PMID: 37461261 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to many diseases, including organ degeneration and cancer. Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells provide a valuable source for stem cell-based therapy and represent an emerging therapeutic approach for tissue regeneration. This study focused on screening the senomorphic properties of Ohwia caudata aqueous extract as an emerging strategy for preventing or treating mitochondrial dysfunction in stem cells. Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells were incubated with 0.1 μM doxorubicin, for 24 h to induce mitochondrial dysfunction. Next, the cells were treated with a series concentration of Ohwia caudata aqueous extract (25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL) for another 24 h. In addition, an untreated control group and a doxorubicin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction positive control group were maintained under the same conditions. Our data showed that Ohwia caudata aqueous extract markedly suppressed doxorubicin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction by increasing Tid1 and Tom20 expression, decreased reactive oxygen species production, and maintained mitochondrial membrane potential to promote mitochondrial stability. Ohwia caudata aqueous extract retained the stemness of Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells and reduced the apoptotic rate. These results indicate that Ohwia caudata aqueous extract protects Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells against doxorubicin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and can potentially prevent mitochondrial dysfunction in other cells. This study provides new directions for the medical application of Ohwia caudata.

Abstract
Glutaminase-1 (GLS1) is a critical enzyme involved in several cellular processes, and its overexpression has been linked to the development and progression of cancer. Based on existing research, GLS1 plays a crucial role in the metabolic activities of cancer cells, promoting rapid proliferation, cell survival, and immune evasion. Therefore, targeting GLS1 has been proposed as a promising cancer therapy strategy, with several GLS1 inhibitors currently under development. To date, several GLS1 inhibitors have been identified, which can be broadly classified into two types: active site and allosteric inhibitors. Despite their pre-clinical effectiveness, only a few number of these inhibitors have advanced to initial clinical trials. Hence, the present medical research emphasizes the need for developing small molecule inhibitors of GLS1 possessing significantly high potency and selectivity. In this manuscript, we aim to summarize the regulatory role of GLS1 in physiological and pathophysiological processes. We also provide a comprehensive overview of the development of GLS1 inhibitors, focusing on multiple aspects such as target selectivity, in vitro and in vivo potency and structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
Glutamine metabolism is an important hallmark of several cancers with demonstrated antitumor activity in glioblastoma cancer cells (GBM). GBM cells regulate glutamine and use it as a major energy source for their proliferation through the glutaminolysis process. Enzymes, such as glutaminase in glutaminolysis, can be targeted by small-molecule inhibitors, thus exhibiting promising anticancer properties. The resistance to glutaminolysis demands the development of new therapeutic molecules to overcome drug resistance. Herein, we have reported a novel library of constrained methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocin derivatives as glutaminase (GLS) inhibitors and their anti-GBM potential. The library consisting of seven molecules was obtained through self-condensation of 2'-hydroxyacetophenones, out of which three molecules, namely compounds 3, 5, and 6, were identified with higher binding energy values ranging between -10.2 and -9.8 kcal/mol with GLS (PDB ID; 4O7D). Pharmacological validation of these compounds also showed a higher growth inhibition effect in GBM cells than the standard drug temozolomide (TMZ). The most promising compound, 6, obeyed Lipinski's rule of five and was identified to interact with key residues Arg307, Asp326, Lys328, Lys399, and Glu403 of GLS. This compound exhibited the best cytotoxic effect with IC50 values of 63 µM and 83 µM in LN229 and SNB19 cells, respectively. The potential activation of GLS by the best-constrained dibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocin in the tested series increased apoptosis via reactive oxygen species production in both GBM cells, and exhibited anti-migratory and anti-proliferative properties over time in both cell lines. Our results highlight the activation mechanism of a dibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocin from the structural basis and demonstrate that inhibition of glutaminolysis may facilitate the pharmacological intervention for GBM treatment.

Abstract
A two-step protecting-group-free protocol for the synthesis of 3'-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-4-O-2'-cycloflavan (1) and concise total synthesis of 4'-hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxy-4-O-2'-cycloflavan (8) enabled by a PTSA triggered bioinspired olefin isomerization/hemiacetalization/dehydration/[3 + 3]-type cycloaddition cascade reaction are reported. The successful synthesis of cycloflavan 8 along with GIAO 13C NMR calculations of flavan-4-ol 9 and cycloflavan 8 indicated the misassignment of the flavonoid isolated previously and realized the revision of its actual structure.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is the inflammatory responses that are involved in the pathogenesis of most neurological disorders. Glutaminase (GLS) is the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to produce glutamate. Besides its well-known role in cellular metabolism and excitatory neurotransmission, GLS has recently been increasingly noticed to be up-regulated in activated microglia under pathological conditions. Furthermore, GLS overexpression induces microglial activation, extracellular vesicle secretion, and neuroinflammatory microenvironment formation, which, are compromised by GLS inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. These results indicate that GLS has more complicated implications in brain disease etiology than what are previously known. In this review, we introduce GLS isoforms, expression patterns in the body and the brain, and expression/activities regulation. Next, we discuss the metabolic and neurotransmission functions of GLS. Afterwards, we summarize recent findings of GLS-mediated microglial activation and pro-inflammatory extracellular vesicle secretion, which, in turns, induces neuroinflammation. Lastly, we provide a comprehensive discussion for the involvement of microglial GLS in the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders, indicating microglial GLS as a promising target to treat these diseases.

Abstract
The preparation of unprecedented 6,12-disubstituted methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocins from pyrrolidine catalyzed self-condensation of 2′-hydroxyacetophenones is herein described. This method provides easy access to this highly bridged complex core, resulting in construction of two C–O and two C–C bonds, a methylene bridge and two quaternary centers in a single step. The intricate methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocin compounds were obtained in up to moderate yields after optimization of the reaction conditions concerning solvent, reaction times and the use of additives. Several halide substituted methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocins could be prepared from correspondent 2′-hydroxyacetophenones.
