Exploring the binding mechanism and adverse toxic effects of degradation metabolites of pyrethroid insecticides to human serum albumin: Multi-spectroscopy, calorimetric and molecular docking approaches. Food Chem Toxicol 2023; 179:113951. [PMID: 37479174 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Pyrethroid insecticides (PIs), a class of structurally similar non-persistent organic pollutants, can be degraded and metabolized to more toxic, and longer half-life products. In this study, the binding interaction mechanisms between human serum albumin (HSA) and the main degradation metabolites of PIs, 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) and 4-fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid (4-F-3-PBA), were studied by theoretical simulation and experimental verification. Steady state fluorescence spectra showed that the fluorescence quenching mechanism was static. According to the binding constant, 4-F-3-PBA (1.53 × 105 L mol-1) was bound more strongly to HSA than 3-PBA (1.42 × 105 L mol-1) in subdomain ⅡA (site I). It was found by isothermal titration calorimetry that the metabolites and HSA spontaneously combined mainly through hydrogen bond and van der Waals interaction. Ultraviolet absorption spectra and circular dichroism spectra showed that the metabolites caused slight changes in the microenvironment and conformation of HSA. The above results were proved by molecular docking. The toxicity properties of the metabolites were further analyzed by software, and 4-F-3-PBA was found to be more toxic than 3-PBA. Considering the high exposure level of these metabolites in food, the environment and human body, it is necessary to further explore the toxicity of PIs metabolites.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting compound, and the binding mechanism of BPA with carrier proteins has drawn widespread attention. Halogen substitutions can significantly impact the properties of BPA, resulting in various effects for human health. Here, we selected tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and tetrachlorobisphenol A (TCBPA) to investigate the interaction between different halogen-substituted BPAs and human serum albumin (HSA). TBBPA/TCBPA spontaneously occupied site I and formed stable binary complexes with HSA. Compared to TCBPA, TBBPA has higher binding affinity to HSA. The effect of different halogen substituents on the negatively charged surface area of BPA was an important reason for the higher binding affinity of TBBPA to HSA compared to TCBPA. Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces were crucial in the TCBPA-HSA complex, while the main driving factor for the formation of the TBBPA-HSA complex was hydrophobic interactions. Moreover, the presence of TBBPA/TCBPA changed the secondary structure of HSA. Amino acid residues such as Lys199, Lys195, Phe211, Arg218, His242, Leu481, and Trp214 were found to play crucial roles in the binding process between BPA compounds and HSA. Furthermore, the presence of halogen substituents facilitated the binding of BPA compounds with HSA.

Abstract
The health effects of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water drew great attention recently. Herein, by using in vitro (fluorescence quenching, UV absorbance, circular dichroism) and in silico (molecular docking) method, binding interactions of two halophenolic DBPs (2,4,6-trichlorophenol [TCP] and 2,4,6-tribromophenol [TBP]) with human serum albumin (HSA) and the influence of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPCD) on the interactions were investigated. TCP/TBP could form complexes with HSA mainly by hydrogen bonding, while changing its secondary structure, among which TBP showed more influential effect. Interestingly, the binding constants for halophenol-HSA complexes decreased obviously with the involvement of HPCD. Molecular docking results revealed that HPCD could include TCP/TBP into its cavity and change their original binding sites from subdomain IB to IIA, resulting in a more stable binding system. These findings are beneficial for understanding the toxicity of halophenols inside the human body and indicated that HPCD could be a promising detoxication agent for DBPs.

Abstract
Metallodrugs are important for anticancer treatments. They bind mainly to human serum albumin (HSA) in blood circulation, greatly modulating their pharmacokinetics and anticancer efficacy. Fatty acid (FA) is one of the most important endogenous ligands of HSA with tight binding to HSA and affecting its conformation. However, the effect of fatty acids on metallodrugs interaction with HSA is unknown. Here we identify the binding sites of a widely used metallodrug, cisplatin, in HSA in the presence or absence of a representative fatty acid, myristate, by X-ray crystallography. Our crystal structures indicate that the sidechain of residue Met548 becomes more exposed to solvent in the presence of fatty acid, and is the main Pt binding site together with Met329 in HSA:Myr:cisplatin ternary structure. An undoubted new Pt binding site is detected at His338 in the presence of fatty acid, and additional two sites are also identified at His146 and His440 + K436. In addition, we revealed the mechanism of cisplatin-induced HSA aggregation, which is due to the crosslinking between Met298 and His510 of two HSA molecules.

Abstract
Phthalate esters (PAEs) are a type of persistent organic pollutants and have received widespread concerns due to their adverse effects on human health. Dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) and its metabolite monocyclohexyl phthalate (MCHP) were selected to explore the mechanism for interaction of PAEs with human serum albumin (HSA) through molecular docking and several spectroscopic techniques. The results showed that DCHP/MCHP can spontaneously occupy site I to form a binary complex with HSA, and DCHP exhibited higher binding affinity to HSA than MCHP. At 298 K, the binding constants (Kb) of DCHP and MCHP to HSA were 24.82 × 104 and 1.04 × 104 M-1, respectively. Hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces were the major driving forces in DCHP/MCHP-HSA complex. The presence of DCHP/MCHP induced the secondary structure changes in HSA, and the pi electrons of the benzene ring skeleton of DCHP/MCHP played a key role in this binding processes. Exposure of DCHP/MCHP to TM4 cells revealed that interactions between PAEs and serum albumin can affect their cytotoxicity; DCHP showed higher toxicity than MCHP. The binding affinity of PAEs with HSA may be a valuable parameter for rapid assessment of their toxicity to organisms.

A Novel Muscle Synergy Extraction Method Used for Motor Function Evaluation of Stroke Patients: A Pilot Study. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21113833. [PMID: 34205957 PMCID: PMC8199433 DOI: 10.3390/s21113833] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel muscle synergy extraction method based on multivariate curve resolution–alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) to overcome the limitation of the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) method for extracting non-sparse muscle synergy, and we study its potential application for evaluating motor function of stroke survivors. Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is the most widely used method for muscle synergy extraction. However, NMF is susceptible to components’ sparseness and usually provides inferior reliability, which significantly limits the promotion of muscle synergy. In this study, MCR-ALS was employed to extract muscle synergy from electromyography (EMG) data. Its performance was compared with two other matrix factorization algorithms, NMF and self-modeling mixture analysis (SMMA). Simulated data sets were utilized to explore the influences of the sparseness and noise on the extracted synergies. As a result, the synergies estimated by MCR-ALS were the most similar to true synergies as compared with SMMA and NMF. MCR-ALS was used to analyze the muscle synergy characteristics of upper limb movements performed by healthy (n = 11) and stroke (n = 5) subjects. The repeatability and intra-subject consistency were used to evaluate the performance of MCR-ALS. As a result, MCR-ALS provided much higher repeatability and intra-subject consistency as compared with NMF, which were important for the reliability of the motor function evaluation. The stroke subjects had lower intra-subject consistency and seemingly had more synergies as compared with the healthy subjects. Thus, MCR-ALS is a promising muscle synergy analysis method for motor function evaluation of stroke patients.

Pseudosterase activity-based specific detection of human serum albumin on gel. Talanta 2021; 224:121906.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) has pseudoesterase activity. So far on gel specific detection of such property of HSA is never reported. Moreover, protein binding dyes are non-specific for albumin. However, many of such dyes are used for HSA detection. So, dye-based albumin detection on the gel is expected to generate false-positive results for HSA. In this context, we have discovered that Fast Blue BB (FBBB, 0.12%) stains specifically HSA pseudoesterase activity with 2 Naphthyl acetate (2NA) as an ester substrate. Further, neostigmine has not inhibited the pseudoesterase activity associated with HSA. Neostigmine is a known inhibitor of many true esterases like acetylcholinesterase. So, neostigmine addition offers specificity to the method developed for staining of HSA. Additionally, 2NA stains HSA better than bovine serum albumin (BSA). Exploring all these novel findings, we have devised a simple method of HSA detection on the gel, accurately where other esterases are not detected. To the best of our knowledge, our method is the first to detect HSA pseudoesterase activity specifically on gel without getting interfered by any other esterase activity. The method detects HSA better than BSA. We feel that this method will go a long way for the specific detection of HSA on the gel. It is also relevant for understanding the purity of donor human milk matrix and pharmaceutical preparation of HSA. Our method can detect 7 μM of added HSA in human urine. Therefore, our method can be proceeded further for microalbuminuria detection in days to come.
