Development of a brain-targeted nano drug delivery system to enhance the treatment of neurodegenerative effects of resveratrol. J Liposome Res 2024; 34:435-451. [PMID: 38032385 DOI: 10.1080/08982104.2023.2290050] [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: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
As the aging population continues to increase, aging-related inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurodegenerative diseases have become serious global health threats. Resveratrol, a star molecule in natural polyphenols, has been widely reported to have physiological activities such as anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotection. However, its poor water solubility, rapid metabolism, low bioavailability and poor targeting ability, which limits its application. Accordingly, a brain-targeted resveratrol liposome (ANG-RES-LIP) was developed to solve these issues. Experimental results showed that ANG-RES-LIP has a uniform size distribution, good biocompatibility, and a drug encapsulation rate of over 90%. Furthermore, in vitro cell experiments showed that the modification of the targeting ligand ANG significantly increased the capability of RES to cross the BBB and neuronal uptake. Compared with free RES, ANG-RES-LIP demonstrated stronger antioxidant activity and the ability to rescue oxidatively damaged cells from apoptosis. Additionally, ANG-RES-LIP showed the ability to repair damaged neuronal mitochondrial membrane potential. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that ANG-RES-LIP improved cognitive function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation levels in the brains of aging model mice, repairing damaged neurons and glial cells, and increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor. In summary, this study not only provides a new method for further development and application of resveratrol but also a promising strategy for preventing and treating age-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
To facilitate the understanding of the dynamic distribution and activity of lysosomal enzymes, it is highly desirable to develop high-fidelity near-infrared (NIR) activatable fluorescent probes. Here, we propose a general acceptor engineering strategy to construct NIR probes with lysosome-targeting capability. Upon isosteric replacement and additional functionalization, the β-gal-activatable probe OELyso-Gal exhibited excellent lysosome-targeting capability and favorable responsive performance to the enzyme of interest. Notably, the steric hindrance effect from acceptor engineering is modest, which renders the probe unprecedented affinity to enzymes. Upon the introduction of acceptor engineering, the lysosome-targeting probe became more sensitive to β-gal in cells and tissues, boosting the discrimination of high β-gal-expressing ovarian cancer tumours from low β-gal-expressing tissues. Furthermore, the superiority of OELyso-Gal was validated in real-time visualization of ovarian cancer in tumour-bearing mice. This elegant acceptor engineering strategy provides inspirational insights into the development of customized fluorescent probes for monitoring disease-associated biomarkers within subcellular organelles.

Abstract
Senescence is a complex physiological process that can be induced by a range of factors, and cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the major triggers. In order to learn and solve age-related diseases, tracking strategies through biomarkers, including senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal), with high sensitivity and accuracy, have been considered as a promising solution. However, endogenous β-gal accumulation is not only associated with senescence but also with other physiological processes. Therefore, additional assays are needed to define cellular senescence further. In this work, a fancy fluorescent probe SA-HCy-1 for accurately monitoring senescence is developed, with SA-β-gal and HClO as targets under high lysosomal pH conditions (pH > 6.0) specifically, on account of the role β-gal commonly played as an ovarian cancer biomarker. Therefore, precise tracking of cellular senescence could be achieved in view of these three dimensions, with response in dual fluorescence channels providing a ratiometric sensing pattern. This elaborate strategy has been verified to be suitable for biological applications by skin photo-aging evaluation and cellular passage tracing, displaying a significantly improved sensitivity compared with the commercial X-gal kit measurement.

Abstract
Senescence is an important biological process, which leads to the gradual degradation of its physiological function and increases morbidity and mortality. Herein, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe (P1) was constructed by using benzothiazolyl acetonitrile dye as fluorophore, exhibiting significantly enhanced blue-shifted emission to indicate the activity of β-galactosidase (β-gal), a commonly used biomarker for the detection of senescent cells. After incubation with β-gal, the excimer emission of P1 at 620 nm was weakened, while the emission at 533 nm was significantly enhanced, forming an obvious ratiometric probe with high sensitivity and low detection limit (2.7 mU·mL-1). More importantly, probe P1 can locate lysosomes accurately, allowing us to monitor the emergence of living cell senescence in real time. P1 was successfully used to detect β-gal activity in PC-12 cells, Hep G2 cells, and RAW 264.7 cells. It showed strong green fluorescence signal in senescent cells and red fluorescence signal in normal cells, indicating that it can detect endogenous senescence-related β-gal content in living cells. For in vivo drug-induced senescence imaging, after 5 weeks of injection of D-galactose or hydroxyurea, the mice showed significant fluorescence enhancement in specific channels to indicate the activity of β-gal in vivo. At the same time, the senescence of cell-specific organs and skin tissues at the organ level were also detected, which proved that the drug-induced senescence of brain, skin, and muscle tissues was the most serious. These results supported the important application value of P1 in senescence biomedical research.

Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) and glucose metabolic state in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). A total of 52,062 patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were classified according to FAR tertiles (T1: FAR < 0.0073; T2: 0.0073 ≤ FAR ≤ 0.0886; T3: FAR ≥ 0.0887). Patients were also classified into the normal glucose regulation (NGR) and elevated blood glucose (EBG) groups. The relationship between FAR and EBG was analyzed using logistic regression, and the association was evaluated according to sex and age. Among the participants, 32,471 (62.4%) had EBG, which was positively associated with FAR (odds ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-1.23). The OR of the FAR for EBG in males was higher than that in females (1.25; 95% CI 1.18-1.33 vs 1.15; 95% CI 1.10-1.20). Moreover, the OR of FAR for EBG was greater in patients aged 60 or younger (OR: 1.25; 95% CI 1.18-1.33) than in the elderly patients (over 60 years of age) (OR: 1.15; 95% CI 1.10-1.20). The results indicated a significant relationship between FAR and EBG and this association was higher in males and middle-aged patients.

Abstract
Beta-galactosidase (β-gal), a typical glycosidase catalyzing the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds, is regarded as a vital biomarker for cell senescence and cancer occurrence. Given the advantages of high spatiotemporal resolution, high sensitivity, non-invasiveness, and being free of ionizing radiations, fluorescent imaging technology provides an excellent choice for in vivo imaging of β-gal. In this review, we detail the representative biotech advances of fluorescence imaging probes for β-gal bearing diverse fidelity-oriented improvements to elucidate their future potential in preclinical research and clinical application. Next, we propose the comprehensive design strategies of imaging probes for β-gal with respect of high fidelity. Considering the systematic implementation approaches, a range of high-fidelity imaging-guided theragnostic are adopted for the individual β-gal-associated biological scenarios. Finally, current challenges and future trends are proposed to promote the next development of imaging agents for individual and specific application scenarios.

Abstract
Glycosidases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages in oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. These enzymes play a vital role in a wide variety of biological events, such as digestion of nutritional carbohydrates, lysosomal catabolism of glycoconjugates, and posttranslational modifications of glycoproteins. Abnormal glycosidase activities are associated with a variety of diseases, particularly cancer and lysosomal storage disorders. Owing to the physiological and pathological significance of glycosidases, the development of small molecules that target these enzymes is an active area in glycoscience and medicinal chemistry. Research efforts carried out thus far have led to the discovery of numerous glycosidase-targeting small molecules that have been utilized to elucidate biological processes as well as to develop effective chemotherapeutic agents. In this review, we describe the results of research studies reported since 2018, giving particular emphasis to the use of fluorescent probes for detection and imaging of glycosidases, activity-based probes for covalent labelling of these enzymes, glycosidase inhibitors, and glycosidase-activatable prodrugs.

Abstract
Aging accompanied by several age-related complications, is a multifaceted inevitable biological progression involving various genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The major factor in this process is oxidative stress, caused by an abundance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ROS and RNS pose a threat by disrupting signaling mechanisms and causing oxidative damage to cellular components. This oxidative stress affects both the ER and mitochondria, causing proteopathies (abnormal protein aggregation), initiation of unfolded protein response, mitochondrial dysfunction, abnormal cellular senescence, ultimately leading to inflammaging (chronic inflammation associated with aging) and, in rare cases, metastasis. RONS during oxidative stress dysregulate multiple metabolic pathways like NF-κB, MAPK, Nrf-2/Keap-1/ARE and PI3K/Akt which may lead to inappropriate cell death through apoptosis and necrosis. Inflammaging contributes to the development of inflammatory and degenerative diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and retinopathy. The body's antioxidant systems, sirtuins, autophagy, apoptosis, and biogenesis play a role in maintaining homeostasis, but they have limitations and cannot achieve an ideal state of balance. Certain interventions, such as calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, dietary habits, and regular exercise, have shown beneficial effects in counteracting the aging process. In addition, interventions like senotherapy (targeting senescent cells) and sirtuin-activating compounds (STACs) enhance autophagy and apoptosis for efficient removal of damaged oxidative products and organelles. Further, STACs enhance biogenesis for the regeneration of required organelles to maintain homeostasis. This review article explores the various aspects of oxidative damage, the associated complications, and potential strategies to mitigate these effects.

Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1272:341482. [PMID: 37355329 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 06/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/26/2023]
Abstract
β-galactosidase (β-Gal) is an important biomarker of cell senescence and primary ovarian cancer. Therefore, it is of great significance to construct a near-infrared fluorescent probe with deep tissue penetration and a high signal-to-noise ratio for visualization of β-galactosidase in biological systems. However, most near-infrared probes tend to have small Stokes shifts and low signal-to-noise ratios due to crosstalk between excitation and emission spectra. Using d-galactose residues as specific recognition units and near-infrared dye TJ730 as fluorophores, a near-infrared fluorescence probe SN-CR with asymmetric structure was developed for the detection of β-Gal. The probe has a fast reaction equilibrium time (<12 min) with β-Gal, excellent biocompatibility, near-infrared emission (738 nm), low detection limit (0.0029 U/mL), and no crosstalk between the excitation spectrum and emission spectrum (Stokes shifts 142 nm) of the probe. Cell imaging studies have shown that SN-CR can visually trace β-Gal in different cells and distinguish ovarian cancer cells from other cells.

Abstract
Specific imaging of cellular senescence emerges as a promising strategy for early diagnosis and treatment of various age-related diseases. The currently available imaging probes are routinely designed by targeting a single senescence-related marker. However, the inherently high heterogeneity of senescence makes them inaccessible to achieve specific and accurate detection of broad-spectrum cellular senescence. Here, we report the design of a dual-parameter recognition fluorescent probe for precise imaging of cellular senescence. This probe remains silent in non-senescent cells, yet produces bright fluorescence after sequential responses to two senescence-associated markers, namely, SA-β-gal and MAO-A. In-depth studies reveal that this probe allows for high-contrast imaging of senescence, independent of the cell source or stress type. More impressively, such dual-parameter recognition design further allows it to distinguish senescence-associated SA-β-gal/MAO-A from cancer-related β-gal/MAO-A, compared to commercial or previous single-marker detection probes. This study offers a valuable molecular tool for imaging cellular senescence, which is expected to significantly expand the basic studies on senescence and facilitate advances of senescence-related disease theranostics.

Abstract
Polysaccharide is one of the main active ingredients in Lonicera japonica Thunb. (L. japonica). In this study, we examined the anti-aging activities of L.japonica polysaccharides (LJPs) and further explored the mechanisms. Polysaccharides from L.japonica including the crude LJP (CLJP) and the purified fraction (LJP-2-1) were characterized. The molecular weights of CLJP and LJP-2-1 were 1450 kDa and 1280 kDa, respectively. Meanwhile, CLJP was mainly composed of galacturonic acid (23.57 %), galactose (23.45 %) and arabinose (23.45 %). LJP-2-1 was mainly composed of galacturonic acid (51.25 %) and arabinose (22.89 %). In Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), LJPs maximally prolonged mean lifespan by 13.97 %, promoted fitness with increased motility by 40.92 % and pharyngeal pumping by 25.72 %, and decreased lipofuscin accumulation by 38.9 % with intact body length and fecundity. Moreover, CLJP extended the mean lifespan of nematodes under oxidative and heat stress by 16.76 % and 14.05 % respectively by activating stress-related genes and the antioxidant system. Further, CLJP required DAF-16 to prolong the lifespan of nematodes. CLJP upregulated the expression of daf-16 and its targeted downstream genes, including sod-3, gst-4 and hsp-16.2. Moreover, nuclear accumulation of DAF-16 was promoted upon CLJP treatment. Together, our data uncover the role of LJPs in extending lifespan and healthspan through DAF-16.

Abstract
β-Galactosidase (β-gal) is a hydrolytic enzyme in lysosomes and is also an important biomarker of cellular senescence and primary ovarian cancer. Therefore, real-time non-invasive detection of β-gal activity in vivo is of great significance for the prevention of cell senescence and early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. We designed an enzyme-activated proportional near-infrared (NIR) probe (Gal-Br-NO2) for real-time fluorescence quantification and capture of β-gal activity in vivo. The main characteristics of the Gal-Br-NO2 probe include short response time (less than 10 min), large Stokes displacement (155 nm), and near-infrared fluorescence emission (670 nm). The probe has also been successfully used to detect β-gal in ovarian cancer cells and senile cells and can accurately detect endogenous β-gal in zebrafish. Our work provides a potential tool for pre-clinical real-time tracking of β-gal activity in vivo and early diagnosis of disease.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a stable cell cycle arrest state that can be triggered by a wide range of intrinsic or extrinsic stresses. Increased burden of senescent cells in various tissues is thought to contribute to aging and age-related diseases. Thus, the detection and interventions of senescent cells are critical for longevity and treatment of disease. However, the highly heterogeneous feature of senescence makes it challenging for precise detection and selective clearance of senescent cells in different age-related diseases. To address this issue, considerable efforts have been devoted to developing senescence-targeting molecular theranostic strategies, based on the potential biomarkers of cellular senescence. Herein, we review recent advances in the field of anti-senescence research and highlight the specific visualization and elimination of senescent cells. Additionally, the challenges in this emerging field are outlined.

Supplementation with Queen Bee Larva Powder Extended the Longevity of Caenorhabditis elegans. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14193976.

Abstract
Queen bee larva (QBL) is one kind of important edible insect that is harvested during royal jelly production process. QBL has many physiological functions; however, limited information is available regarding its antiaging effects. In this study, the antiaging function of freeze-dried QBL powder (QBLP) was investigated by combining the Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) model and transcriptomics. The administration of QBLP to C. elegans was shown to improve lifespan parameters. Additionally, QBLP improved the mobility of nematodes. Transcriptome analysis showed the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly enriched in Gene Ontology (GO) terms that were almost all related to the biological functions of cell metabolism and stress, which are associated with lifespan. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis suggested that the lifespan of C. elegans was related to the longevity regulating pathway-worm. The expression levels of the key genes sod-3, gst-6, hsp-12.6, lips-7, ins-8, and lips-17 were upregulated. sod-3, hsp-12.6, lips-7, and lips-17 are downstream targets of DAF-16, which is an important transcription factor related to lifespan extension. CF1038 (daf-16(mu86)) supplemented with QBLP did not show a life-prolonging. This indicates that the antiaging function of QBLP is closely related to daf-16. Thus, QBLP is a component that could potentially be used as a functional material to ameliorate aging and aging-related symptoms.

Abstract
Ovarian aging refers to the process by which ovarian function declines until eventual failure. The pathogenesis of ovarian aging is complex and diverse; oxidative stress (OS) is considered to be a key factor. This review focuses on the fact that OS status accelerates the ovarian aging process by promoting apoptosis, inflammation, mitochondrial damage, telomere shortening and biomacromolecular damage. Current evidence suggests that aging, smoking, high-sugar diets, pressure, superovulation, chemotherapeutic agents and industrial pollutants can be factors that accelerate ovarian aging by exacerbating OS status. In addition, we review the role of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), Sirtuin (Sirt), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase B (AKT), Forkhead box O (FoxO) and Klotho signaling pathways during the process of ovarian aging. We also explore the role of antioxidant therapies such as melatonin, vitamins, stem cell therapies, antioxidant monomers and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and investigate the roles of these supplements with respect to the reduction of OS and the improvement of ovarian function. This review provides a rationale for antioxidant therapy to improve ovarian aging.

Abstract
Liver cancer is a primary malignant tumor with a very high fatality rate, which has seriously threatened human health and life. In normal hepatocellular lesions, β-glucuronidase (GLU) activity in liver cancer tissues is significantly increased. Therefore, GLU has become one of the important biomarkers of primary liver cancer. Here, a series of fluorescent probes (DCDH, DCDCH3, DCDOCH3, and DCDNO2) for early diagnosis of liver cancer and auxiliary surgical resection were successfully synthesized. Since the electron-withdrawing group -NO2 connected to the probe DCDNO2 accelerates the rapid cleavage of the glycosidic bond, DCDNO2 exhibits superior fluorescence properties that are more sensitive and rapid than the other three probes DCDH, DCDCH3, and DCDOCH3 when detecting GLU. DCDNO2 has been well-applied in real-time fluorescent visualization imaging for the detection of GLU activity in liver cancer cells and tumor tissues. In addition, DCDNO2 has also been successfully used in the early diagnosis of liver cancer and real-time imaging to guide the surgical resection of liver cancer tumors. Therefore, DCDNO2 has great potential for development in bioclinical medicine for the early detection and treatment of liver cancer.

Abstract
Selective elimination of senescent cells (senolysis) has become a promising therapeutic strategy for the management of chronic renal failure (CRF), but the senolytic molecular pathways towards CRF therapy are limited. Here, we present for the first time a senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activatable theragnostic prodrug strategy to pertinently and effectively treat CRF in mice with the aid of fluorescence-guided senolysis. The signs of premature senescence, including the overexpression of β-gal, have been found in kidneys of mice with CRF, making this enzyme particularly suitable as a trigger of prodrugs for CRF therapy. With this unique design, our pioneering prodrug TSPD achieved the activation of a fluorophore for tracking and the specific release of the parent drug, gemcitabine, in β-gal-enriched cells after activation with SA-β-gal. In mice with CRF, abdominal administration of TSPD was effective for improvement of the kidney functions, supporting the feasibility of the SA-β-gal-dependent senolysis therapy towards CRF. Here, we report a senescence-associated β-galactosidase activatable theragnostic prodrug to pertinently treat chronic renal failure (CRF) in mice with the aid of fluorescence-guided senolysis, providing a creative molecular approach to CRF therapy.![]()
