Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Abnormal bilirubin metabolism can result in various liver function disorders. Current clinical practice for bilirubin level detection involves invasive blood collection from patients, which is time-consuming, painful, and poses infection risks. Thus, there is a pressing need for non-invasive bilirubin detection methods. This study aims to develop a non-invasive total serum bilirubin(TSB) detection method in humans based on multi-wavelength photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. METHODS The experimental instrument includes a light source and a spectrometer. PPG signals are collected from the subjects' fingers, and the samples are selected based on the PPG deviation degree screening method. The absorption spectrum of blood is extracted from the PPG signal using dynamic spectroscopy. Finally, locally developed software calculates the total bilirubin value. The instrument is modeled and validated according to the clinical-biochemical test values. RESULTS The results of the prediction set (correlation coefficient is 0.91, RSMEP is 2.32 umol/L, average absolute error percentage is 9.3%) show that our method has a strong correlation with the detection results of clinical-biochemical analysis instruments. The Bland-Altman test showed that the device deviated from the data detected by biochemical methods in the clinic with a mean deviation of about 0.12 umol/L and a 95% confidence interval between -2.95 umol/L and 2.7 umol/L. CONCLUSIONS This study's non-invasive bilirubin detection method has high accuracy, which can meet the needs of continuous non-invasive total bilirubin detection in clinical practice.

Iron response elements (IREs)-mRNA of Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein binding to iron regulatory protein (IRP1): a combined molecular docking and spectroscopic approach. Sci Rep 2023; 13:5073. [PMID: 36977734 PMCID: PMC10050399 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-32073-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The interaction between the stem-loop structure of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein IRE mRNA and iron regulatory protein was examined by employing molecular docking and multi-spectroscopic techniques. A detailed molecular docking analysis of APP IRE mRNA∙IRP1 reveals that 11 residues are involved in hydrogen bonding as the main driving force for the interaction. Fluorescence binding results revealed a strong interaction between APP IRE mRNA and IRP1 with a binding affinity and an average binding sites of 31.3 × 106 M-1 and 1.0, respectively. Addition of Fe2+(anaerobic) showed a decreased (3.3-fold) binding affinity of APP mRNA∙IRP1. Further, thermodynamic parameters of APP mRNA∙IRP1 interactions were an enthalpy-driven and entropy-favored event, with a large negative ΔH (-25.7 ± 2.5 kJ/mol) and a positive ΔS (65.0 ± 3.7 J/mol·K). A negative ΔH value for the complex formation suggested the contribution of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The addition of iron increased the enthalpic contribution by 38% and decreased the entropic influence by 97%. Furthermore, the stopped-flow kinetics of APP IRE mRNA∙IRP1 also confirmed the complex formation, having the rate of association (kon) and the rate of dissociation (koff) as 341 μM-1 s-1, and 11 s-1, respectively. The addition of Fe2+ has decreased the rate of association (kon) by ~ three-fold, whereas the rate of dissociation (koff) has increased by ~ two-fold. The activation energy for APP mRNA∙IRP1 complex was 52.5 ± 2.1 kJ/mol. The addition of Fe2+ changed appreciably the activation energy for the binding of APP mRNA with IRP1. Moreover, circular dichroism spectroscopy has confirmed further the APP mRNA∙IRP1 complex formation and IRP1 secondary structure change with the addition of APP mRNA. In the interaction between APP mRNA and IRP1, iron promotes structural changes in the APP IRE mRNA∙IRP1 complexes by changing the number of hydrogen bonds and promoting a conformational change in the IRP1 structure when it is bound to the APP IRE mRNA. It further illustrates how IRE stem-loop structure influences selectively the thermodynamics and kinetics of these protein-RNA interactions.

Abstract
Binding of phosphorylated eIFiso4E with viral genome-linked protein (VPg) of turnip mosaic virus was examined by stopped-flow, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and molecular docking analysis. Phosphorylation of eIFiso4E increased (4-fold) the binding rates as compared to unphosphorylated eIFiso4E with VPg. Stopped-flow kinetic studies of phosphorylated eIFiso4E with VPg showed a concentration-independent conformational change. The dissociation rate was about 3-fold slower for eIFiso4E∙VPg complex upon phosphorylation. Phosphorylation enhanced the association rates and lowered the dissociation rates for the eIFiso4E∙VPg binding, with having higher preferential binding to eIFiso4Ep. Binding rates for the interaction of eIFiso4Ep with VPg increased (6-fold) with an increase in temperature, 278 K to 298 K. The activation energies for binding of eIFiso4Ep and eIFiso4E with VPg were 37.2 ± 2.8 and 52.6 ± 3.6 kJ/mol, respectively. Phosphorylation decreased the activation energy for the binding of eIFiso4E to VPg. The reduced energy barrier suggests more stable platform for eIFiso4Ep∙VPg initiation complex formation, which was further supported by molecular docking analysis. Moreover, far-UV CD studies revealed that VPg formed complex with eIFiso4Ep with substantial change in the secondary structure. These results suggested that phosphorylation, not only reduced the energy barrier and dissociation rate but also enhanced binding rate, and an overall conformational change, which provides a more stable platform for efficient viral translation.

Abstract
This short communication describes the interaction between toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS, its specific ligand) using analytical methods. Their interaction has been evidenced in many reports. Nevertheless, there are few reports focused on their binding constant. In this research, the interaction between TLR4 and LPS is investigated using mobility shift method by CZE. To optimize the electrophoresis conditions, the effecting factors, running buffer, sample concentration, injection duration, and operation voltage of electrophoretic on the mobility shift are studied in detail. Electrophoresis conditions were described as follows: borate buffer (pH 7.4, 20 mM), 5 s for 50 mbar pressure injection duration, and 13 kV of separation voltage in 41.5 cm fused silica capillary with 75 μm id and 375 μm od. The combination constant of TLR4 and LPS is calculated using Scatchard methods. The Scatchard liner correlation is y=-0.0165x+0.1456, binding constant is K=1.65 x 10⁴ (g/mL)⁻¹.

Abstract
We previously identified conformationally denatured albumin (D2 and D3 albumin) in rats with endotoxicosis (Bito R, Shikano T, and Kawabata H. Biochim Biophys Acta 1646: 100-111, 2003). In the present study, we attempted first to confirm whether the denatured albumins generally increase in conditions of oxidative stress and second to characterize the degradative process of the denatured albumin using primary cultured rat liver endothelial cells. We used five models of oxidative stress, including endotoxicosis, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, acute inflammation, and aging, and found that serum concentrations of D3 albumin correlate with the serum levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (R = 0.87), whereas the concentrations of D2 albumin are 0.52. Ligand blot analysis showed that the D3 albumin binds to gp18 and gp30, which are known endothelial scavenger receptors for chemically denatured albumin. Primary cultured rat liver endothelial cells degraded the FITC-D3 albumin, and the degradation rate decreased to approximately 60% of control levels in response to anti-gp18 and anti-gp30 antibodies, respectively. An equimolar mixture of these antibodies produced an additive inhibitory effect on both uptake and degradation, resulting in levels approximately 20% those of the control. Furthermore, filipin and digitonin, inhibitors of the caveolae-related endocytic pathway, reduced the FITC-D3 albumin uptake and degradation to <20%. Laser-scanning confocal microscopic observation supported these data regarding the uptake and degradation of D3 albumin. These results indicate that conformationally denatured D3 albumin occurs generally under oxidative stress and is degraded primarily via gp18- and gp30-mediated and caveolae-related endocytosis in liver endothelial cells.

Abstract
Due to its rapid breakdown in the body, denatured serum albumin has not been identified in biological samples. In this study we attempted to determine whether denatured albumin could be identified in rats with endotoxicosis. Male Wistar rats were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 5 mg/kg body weight). Plasma albumin concentration decreased to one-third the normal level at 2 days after the injection. By using the purified IgG against the specific epitope of chemically denatured albumin, two immunoreactive plasma proteins (bands D2 and D3) were identified by native PAGE followed by Western blot analysis. The plasma concentration of these two proteins increased significantly at 1 and 1.5 days after LPS injection. Peptide mass fingerprinting using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF-MS) identified these two proteins as serum albumin. In order to characterize their conformational nature, ion-exchange chromatography was used to isolate D2 and D3 albumins from rats injected with LPS. Far- and near-UV circular dichroism (CD), tryptophan and 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) fluorescence, and proteolytic susceptibility showed conformational alterations in the D2 and D3 albumins as compared with native albumin. These data indicate the presence of denatured albumin in circulating rat plasma, and this fact may contribute to a further understanding of the molecular mechanisms of albumin breakdown in physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
Bilirubin (BR) binding properties of serum albumins from different mammalian species viz. human (HSA), equine (ESA), dog (DSA) and guinea pig (GPSA) were studied by absorption, fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. Whereas, a complex of BR with ESA produced maximum change, GPSA-BR complex showed weaker interaction as reflected from absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic data. Conformational analysis of these albumins by near- and far-UV CD spectra suggested similar structural characteristics (both secondary and tertiary structures) for ESA and HSA, whereas, DSA and GPSA had lower amounts of secondary and tertiary structures being minimum for GPSA. Photoirradiation results of BR-albumin complexes showed GPSA-bound BR more labile compared with other complexes, whereas, BR-ESA complex was found to be more stable against photoinduced chemical changes. Taken together, all these results suggest that chiroptical properties/stability of albumin bound BR varies with albumin species.
