[PMID: 38309588 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2024.01.013] [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: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
The attempt of this review article is to determine the impact of nuclear and mitochondrial damages on the propagation of cancer incidences. This review has advanced our understanding to altered genes and their relevant cancerous proteins. The progressive raising effects of free reactive oxygen species ROS and toxicogenic compounds contributed to significant mutation in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA where the incidence of gastric cancer is found to be linked with down regulation of some relevant genes and mutation in some important cellular proteins such as AMP-18 and CA-11. Thereby, the resulting changes in gene mutations induced the apparition of newly polymorphisms eventually leading to unusual cellular expression to mutant proteins. Reduction of these apoptotic growth factors and nuclear damages is increasingly accepted by cell reactivation effect, enhanced cellular signaling and DNA repairs. Acetylation, glycation, pegylation and phosphorylation are among the molecular techniques used in DNA repair for rectifying mutation incidences. In addition, the molecular labeling based fluorescent materials are currently used along with the bioconjugating of signal molecules in targeting disease translocation site, particularly cancers and tumors. These strategies would help in determining relevant compounds capable in overcoming problems of down regulating genes responsible for repair mechanisms. These issues of course need interplay of both proteomic and genomic studies often in combination of molecular engineering to cible the exact expressed gene relevant to these cancerous proteins.

Chen S, Liao Z, Zheng T, Zhu Y, Ye L. Protective effect of ligustrazine on oxidative stress and apoptosis following testicular torsion in rats. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20395. [PMID: 37990048 PMCID: PMC10663624 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47210-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Testicular torsion is a common urologic emergency and one of the causes of infertility in males. It has been reported that ligustrazine may decrease oxidative stress and reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury. This study aims to investigate the protective effect of ligustrazine in ischemia-reperfusion injury after testicular torsion-detorsion. First, 40 rats were randomly and equally divided into TMP (Ligustrazine) group, the Testicular torsion (T/D) group, the Sham (Sham operation) group, and Control group. The left testis of rats in the TMP and T/D group was rotated for 2 h. The TMP group was intraperitoneally injected with ligustrazine solution and the T/D and the Sham groups were injected with normal saline. The left testes of four groups were obtained for assay on the 4th day after the operation. Average level of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and catalase (CAT) were higher in Sham and Control groups than T/D group and TMP group. Conversely, average level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) was lower in Sham and Control groups than T/D group and TMP group. In contrast with the T/D group, SOD, GPX, and CAT enzymatic activities increased, whereas MDA and ROS content decreased in the TMP group (P < 0.05). Microscopic observation showed that the testicular tissue of the Sham and Control groups were basically normal. The TMP and T/D groups had significant testicular tissue damage, whereas the TMP group had less damage and apoptosis than the T/D group. The apoptotic index of germ cells in the TMP group (13.05 ± 4.41) was lower than the T/D group (30.23 ± 11.31) (P < 0.05) and higher (P < 0.05) than the Sham group (0.56 ± 0.29). So we found that Ligustrazine lowered ischemia-reperfusion injury after testicular torsion-detorsion by decreasing the reactive oxygen species and suppressing apoptosis.

Pan J, Wu C, Tan R, Liao Y, Zhao G, Li W, Peng Y, Li W, Zheng J. Difference in hepatotoxicity of furan-containing components in cortex dictamni correlates the efficiency of their metabolic activation. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 114:154778. [PMID: 36996529 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cortex Dictamni (CD) has been associated with an increased risk of liver injury, which may be attributable to the metabolic activation of its furan-containing components (FCC). However, the hepatotoxic potencies of these FCCs and the mechanisms behind the differences in their toxicity intensity remain unknown. METHODS The constituents of CD extract were determined by LC-MS/MS. Potentially toxic FCCs were screened by a previously published method. Hepatotoxicity of potentially toxic FCCs was evaluated in cultured mouse primary hepatocytes and mice. The ability to deplete hepatic glutathione (GSH), along with the formation of the corresponding GSH conjugates, resulting from the metabolic activation was determined ex vivo in mice. Intrinsic clearance rates (CLint,Vmax/Km) were assessed by a microsome-bases assay. RESULTS A total of 18 FCCs were detected in CD extract. Among them, four FCCs, including rutaevin (RUT), limonin (LIM), obacunone (OBA) and fraxinellone (FRA) were found to be bioactivated in microsomal incubations. Only FRA displayed significant hepatotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Similarly, FRA caused GSH depletion and GSH conjugation the most in vivo. The order of CLint for the four FCCs was FRA>>OBA>LIM>RUT. CONCLUSION FRA is the major toxic FCC component of hepatotoxic CD extract. The hepatotoxicity of FCCs is closely related to the efficiency of their metabolic activation.

Abstract
Columbin (CLB) is the most abundant (>1.0%) furan-containing diterpenoid lactone in herbal medicine Tinospora sagittate (Oliv.) Gagnep. The furano-terpenoid was found to be hepatotoxic, but the exact mechanisms remain unknown. The present study demonstrated that administration of CLB at 50 mg/kg induced hepatotoxicity, DNA damage and up-regulation of PARP-1 in vivo. Exposure to CLB (10 μM) induced GSH depletion, over-production of ROS, DNA damage, up-regulation of PARP-1 and cell death in cultured mouse primary hepatocytes in vitro. Co-treatment of mouse primary hepatocytes with ketoconazole (10 μM) or glutathione ethyl ester (200 μM) attenuated the GSH depletion, over-production of ROS, DNA damage, up-regulation of PARP-1, and cell death induced by CLB, while co-exposure to L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO, 1000 μM) intensified such adverse effects resulting from CLB exposure. These results suggest that the metabolic activation of CLB by CYP3A resulted in the depletion of GSH and increase of ROS formation. The resultant over-production of ROS subsequently disrupted the DNA integrity and up-regulated the expression of PARP-1 in response to DNA damage, and ROS-induced DNA damage was involved in the hepatotoxicity of CLB.

Abstract
Dioscorea Bulbifera L. (DBL), an effective traditional Chinese medicine, has been restricted because of multiple reports that it can cause severe hepatotoxicity. 8-Epidiosbulbin E acetate (EEA), one of the main components of DBL, can induce severe liver injury. It has been reported that EEA can be metabolized by CYP3A to the corresponding cis-enedial intermediate which alkylates the lysine residues of proteins to form pyrroline derivatives. The present study unexpectedly found that the reactive intermediate reacted with the amide groups of asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln) residues of hepatic proteins of mice treated with EEA. The amide-derived protein modification increased with the increase in the dose administered. Like the adduction of the primary amine of lysine residues, the electrophilic metabolite reacted with the amide groups of Asn and Gln residues to offer the corresponding pyrrolines. The structures of the pyrrolines were confirmed by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
