Abstract
Resorcinolic lipids are described as potential examples of selective chemotherapeutic adjuvants that can enhance the effects of cyclophosphamide (CYC) while promoting cell death without causing DNA damage. Therefore, the current study attempted to describe how the resorcinolic lipid methyl 3,5-dimethoxy-2-octanoylbenzoate (AMS35BB) interacted with DNA (DNA docking) and how this compound affected genetic toxicology models and other biological characteristics when combined with CYC. We observed that AMS35BB, used alone (7.5 and 10 mg/kg), increases the frequency of genomic damage (comet assay) but not chromosomal damage (micronuclei assay), lowers phagocytosis, and promotes cell death in Swiss male mice. When used in association with CYC, AMS35BB can reduce the risk of genomic damage by up to 33.8% as well as chromosomal damage, splenic phagocytosis, cell death, and lymphocyte frequency. Molecular docking showed that AMS35BB had a higher affinity than the active metabolite of CYC for binding to the DNA double helix major groove. As a result, AMS35BB has the potential to be both an adjuvant when used in association with CYC and a therapeutic candidate for the development of a selective chemotherapeutic drug.

Abstract
Alternanthera littoralis P. Beauv is a plant native to Brazil that exhibits various beneficial activities including antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoal, anti-hyperalgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the ethanol extract of Alternanthera littoralis (EEAl) on reproductive outcomes, embryofetal development, and DNA integrity of pregnant female mice. Pregnant Swiss female mice were randomly assigned to three experimental groups (n = 10): controls were administered either 1% Tween 80 (vehicle), EEAl 100 mg/kg or EEAl 1000 mg/kg. Treatment was administered through gavage during the gestational period until day 18. On gestational days 16, 17, and 18, a peripheral blood sample from the tail vein was obtained for DNA integrity analysis (micronucleus test). After the last collection, animals were euthanized by cervical dislocation. Maternal organs and fetuses were collected, weighed, and subsequently analyzed. Reproductive outcome parameters were assessed by measurement of number of implants, live fetuses, and resorptions. Embryonic development was determined by adequacy of weight for gestational age as well as determination of external, visceral, and skeletal malformations. Data demonstrated that EEAl did not produce maternal toxicity at either dose associated with no marked alterations in any of the reproductive outcome parameters including implantation sites, live/dead fetuses ratio, fetal viability, post-implantation losses, resorptions, and resorption rate. However, EEAl 1000 group reduced embryofetal development by lowering placental weight. In addition, there was an increase in the frequency of external and skeletal malformations in the EEAl 1000 group, which could not be attributed to extract exposure as these values were within control levels. Based upon our findings, evidence indicates that the EEAl at the concentrations employed in our study may be considered safe for use during pregnancy and extracts of this plant show potential for development of phytomedicines to be used in pregnancy.

Abstract
Cancer incidence is increasing, and the drugs are not very selective. These drugs cause adverse effects, and the cells become resistant. Therefore, new drugs are needed. Here, we evaluated the effects of ZIM, a candidate for chemotherapy, and 4-AA alone and in association with commercial chemotherapeutic agents. Subsequently, the results of ZIM and 4-AA were compared. Male Swiss mice were treated with doses of 12, 24, or 48 mg/kg ZIM or 4-AA alone or in association with cisplatin (6 mg/kg), doxorubicin (16 mg/kg), and cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg). Biometric parameters, DNA damage (comet and micronuclei), cell death, and splenic phagocytosis were evaluated. DNA docking was also performed to confirm the possible interactions of ZIM and 4-AA with DNA. 4-AA has been shown to have low genotoxic potential, increase the frequency of cell death, and activate phagocytosis. ZIM causes genomic and chromosomal damage in addition to causing cell death and activating phagocytosis. In association with chemotherapeutical agents, both 4-AA and ZIM have a chemopreventive effect and, therefore, reduce the frequency of DNA damage, cell death, and splenic phagocytosis. The association of 4-AA and ZIM with commercial chemotherapeutic agents increased the frequency of lymphocytes compared to chemotherapeutic agents alone. Molecular docking demonstrated that ZIM has more affinity for DNA than 4-AA and its precursors (1 and 2). This was confirmed by the lower interaction energy of the complex (-119.83 kcal/mol). ZIM can break the DNA molecule and, therefore, its chemotherapeutic effect can be related to DNA damage. It is considered that ZIM has chemotherapeutic potential. However, it should not be used in combination with cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide as it reduces the effects of these drugs.

Abstract
Aromatic amines (AA) are one of the most commonly used classes of compounds in industry and the most common pollutants found in both soil and water. 3,4-Dichloaniline (3,4-DCA) is a persistent residue of the phenylurea herbicide in the environment. In this study, we used a colorimetric method as a new approach to screen 12 filamentous fungal strains of the genera Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, and Mucor to assess their capacity to perform AA N-acetylation since it is considered a potential tool in environmental bioremediation. Subsequently, the selected strains were biotransformed with different AA substrates to evaluate the product yield. The strains Aspergillus niveus 43, Aspergillus terreus 31, and Cladosporium cladosporioides showed higher efficiencies in the biotransformation of 3,4-DCA at 500 µM into its N-acetylated product. These fungal strains also showed great potential to reduce the phytotoxicity of 3,4-DCA in experiments using Lactuca sativa seeds. Furthermore, N-acetylation was shown to be effective in reducing the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of 3,4-DCA and other AA in the immortalized human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell line. The isolated products after biotransformation showed that fungi of the genera Aspergillus and Cladosporium appeared to have N-acetylation as the first and main AA detoxification mechanism. Finally, A. terreus 31 showed the highest 3,4-DCA bioremediation potential, and future research can be carried out on the application of this strain to form microbial consortia with great potential for the elimination of toxic AA from the environment.

Abstract
Copper (Cu), as a common chemical contaminant in environment, is known to be toxic at high concentrations. The current research demonstrates the effects of copper upon hepatocyte cell-cycle progression (CCP) in mice. Institute of cancer research (ICR) mice (n = 240) at an age of four weeks were divided randomly into groups treated with different doses of Cu (0, 4, 8, and 16 mg/kg) for 21 and 42 days. Results showed that high Cu exposure caused hepatocellular G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest (CCA) and reduced cell proportion in the G2/M phase. G0/G1 CCA occurred with down-regulation (p < 0.05) of Ras, p-PI3K (Tyr458), p-Akt (Thr308), p-forkhead box O3 (FOXO3A) (Ser253), p-glycogen synthase kinase 3-β (GSK3-β) (Ser9), murine double minute 2 (MDM2) protein, and mRNA expression levels, and up-regulation (p < 0.05) of PTEN, p-p53 (Ser15), p27, p21 protein, and mRNA expression levels, which subsequently suppressed (p < 0.05) the protein and mRNA expression levels of CDK2/4 and cyclin E/D. These results indicate that Cu exposure suppresses the Ras/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to reduce the level of CDK2/4 and cyclin E/D, which are essential for the G1-S transition, and finally causes hepatocytes G0/G1 CCA.

Calcitriol combined with calcium chloride causes apoptosis in undifferentiated adipose tissue-derived human mesenchymal stem cells, but this effect decreases during adipogenic differentiation. Biomed Pharmacother 2018; 108:914-924. [PMID: 30372903 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2018.09.083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2018] [Revised: 09/01/2018] [Accepted: 09/14/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Calcitriol, the bioactive hormone of vitamin D, is currently linked to several diseases, such as obesity and gain of adipose mass, due to its liposolubility and, consequently, its sequestration by adipocytes. As rates of obesity continue to increase, research on the biology of weight gain should be encouraged. This study evaluated the effects of calcitriol combined with CaCl2 on adipose tissue-derived human mesenchymal stem cells. We evaluated the cytotoxicity of the combination by MTT assays, in which undifferentiated cells and cells undergoing adipogenic differentiation were tested for 7 and 14 days. The results demonstrated that the combination of calcitriol at the IC50 and CaCl2 at the IC20 was effective at reducing the viability of mesenchymal stem cells, but with the progression of cell differentiation towards adipocytes, cell resistance to the cytotoxic effects increased. The percentages of dead cells were 88.29, 57.45 and 28.81% for undifferentiated cells and cells exposed to differentiation medium for 7 and 14 days, respectively. Undifferentiated cells were evaluated for apoptosis in response to the same combination using Annexin V assays, and a possible onset of programmed cell death in undifferentiated cells was detected. Additionally, the combination of the compounds altered the membrane permeability of undifferentiated cells by 16 percentage points and induced cell cycle arrest in S phase due to the accumulation of damage. An evaluation of gene expression revealed the overexpression of the GADD45 and ATM genes and the underexpression of the P21, P53, ATR, BCL-2, EIF2 AK3, IGF1R, DNAse-2, ATF, MAP3K4, ENGO-G, CASP3, CASP7 and CASP8 genes. Our results provide valuable insights into the biology of obesity and may contribute to the development of new anti-obesity therapies focusing on the inhibition of adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cell hyperplasia and adipogenic differentiation.
