Abstract
Insulin resistance in brain and amyloidogenesis are principal pathological features of diabetes-related cognitive decline and development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A growing body of evidence suggests that maintaining glucose under control in diabetic patients is beneficial for preventing AD development. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DDP4is) are a class of novel glucose-lowering medications through increasing insulin excretion and decreasing glucagon levels that have shown neuroprotective potential in recent studies. This review consolidates extant evidence from earlier and new studies investigating the association between DPP4i use, AD, and other cognitive outcomes. Beyond DPP4i's benefits in alleviating insulin resistance and glucose-lowering, underlying mechanisms for the potential neuroprotection with DPP4i medications were categorized into the following sections: (Ferrari et al., Physiol Rev, 2021, 101, 1,047-1,081): the benefits of DPP4is on directly ameliorating the burden of β-amyloid plaques and reducing the formation of neurofibrillary tangles; DPP4i increasing the bioactivity of neuroprotective DPP4 substrates including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP), and stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) etc.; pleiotropic effects of DPP4is on neuronal cells and intracerebral structure including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and anti-apoptosis. We further revisited recently published epidemiological studies that provided supportive data to compliment preclinical evidence. Given that there remains a lack of completed randomized trials that aim at assessing the effect of DPP4is in preventing AD development and progression, this review is expected to provide a useful insight into DPP4 inhibition as a potential therapeutic target for AD prevention and treatment. The evidence is helpful for informing the rationales of future clinical research and guiding evidence-based clinical practice.

Zeng L, Zhang X, Xia M, Ye H, Li H, Gao Z. Heme and Cu 2+-induced vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) tyrosine nitration: A possible molecular mechanism for the attenuated anti-inflammatory effect of VIP in inflammatory diseases. Biochimie 2023; 214:176-187. [PMID: 37481062 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2023.07.011] [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: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuropeptide that play an important role in immunoregulation and anti-inflammation. Numerous inflammatory/autoimmune disorders are associated with decreased VIP binding ability to receptors and diminished VIP activation of cAMP generation in immune cells. However, the mechanisms linking oxidative/nitrative stress to VIP immune dysfunction remain unknown. It has been reported that the elevated heme or Cu2+ in inflammatory diseases can cause oxidative and nitrative damage to nearby biological targets under high oxidative stress conditions, which affects the structure and activity of linked peptides or proteins. Thus, the VIP down-regulated immune response may be interfered by redox metal catalyzed VIP tyrosine nitration. To explore this, we systematically investigated the possibility of heme or Cu2+ to catalyze VIP tyrosine nitration. The results showed that Tyr10 and Tyr22 of VIP can both be nitrated in heme/H2O2/NO2- system as well as in Cu2+/H2O2/NO2- system. Then, we used synthetic mutant VIPs with tyrosine residues substituted by 3-nitrotyrosine to study the impact of tyrosine nitration on VIP activity in SHSY-5Y cells. Our findings demonstrated that VIP nitration dramatically decreased the content of its α-helix and random coil, suggesting that VIP nitration might reduce its affinity to the receptor. This was further confirmed in the cAMP assay. The results showed that 10 nM of these tyrosine nitrated VIPs could significantly (p < 0.01) decrease cAMP secretion compared to the wild type VIP. Our data reveal that the attenuation of the neuroprotective effect of VIP in inflammation-related diseases might be attributed to metal-catalyzed VIP tyrosine nitration.

Exploring a new family of designer copper(II) complexes of anthracene-appended polyfunctional organic assembly displaying potential anticancer activity via cytochrome c mediated mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. J Inorg Biochem 2023; 243:112182. [PMID: 36933342 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2023.112182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
The present article describes the systematic study on design and synthesis, physicochemical properties and spectroscopic features, and potential anticancer activities of a family of novel copper(II)-based designer metal complexes [Cu2(acdp)(μ-Cl)(H2O)2] (1), [Cu2(acdp)(μ-NO3)(H2O)2] (2) and [Cu2(acdp)(μ-O2CCF3)(H2O)2] (3) of anthracene-appended polyfunctional organic assembly, H3acdp (H3acdp = N,N'-bis[anthracene-2-ylmethyl]-N,N'-bis[carboxymethyl]-1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol). Synthesis of 1-3 was accomplished under facile experimental conditions, preserving their overall integrity in solution. The incorporation of polycyclic anthracene skeleton within the backbone of organic assembly increases lipophilicity of resulting complexes, thereby dictating the degree of cellular uptake with improved biological activity. Complexes 1-3 were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, FTIR, UV-Vis absorption/fluorescence emission titration spectroscopy, PXRD and TGA/DTA studies, including DFT calculations. The cellular cytotoxicity of 1-3 when studied in HepG2 cancer cell line showed substantial cytotoxic effects, whereas no such cytotoxicity was observed when exposed to normal L6 skeletal muscle cell line. Thereafter, the signaling factors involved in the process of cytotoxicity in HepG2 cancer cells were investigated. Alteration of cytochrome c and Bcl-2 protein expression levels along with modulation of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in the presence of 1-3, strongly suggested the possibility of activating mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway involved in halting the cancer cell propagation. However, when a comparative assessment on their bio-efficacies was made, 1 showed higher cytotoxicity, nuclear condensation, DNA binding and damage, ROS generation and lower rate of cell proliferation compared to 2 and 3 in HepG2 cell line, indicating that the anticancer activity of 1 is significantly higher than that of 2 and 3.

Abstract
Transition-metal-mediated reductive coupling of nitric oxide (NO(g)) to nitrous oxide (N2O(g)) has significance across the fields of industrial chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, and environmental health. Herein, we elucidate a density functional theory (DFT)-supplemented mechanism of NO(g) reductive coupling at a copper-ion center, [(tmpa)CuI(MeCN)]+ (1) {tmpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine}. At -110 °C in EtOH (<-90 °C in MeOH), exposing 1 to NO(g) leads to a new binuclear hyponitrite intermediate [{(tmpa)CuII}2(μ-N2O22-)]2+ (2), exhibiting temperature-dependent irreversible isomerization to the previously characterized κ2-O,O'-trans-[(tmpa)2Cu2II(μ-N2O22-)]2+ (OOXray) complex. Complementary stopped-flow kinetic analysis of the reaction in MeOH reveals an initial mononitrosyl species [(tmpa)Cu(NO)]+ (1-(NO)) that binds a second NO molecule, forming a dinitrosyl species [(tmpa)CuII(NO)2] (1-(NO)2). The decay of 1-(NO)2 requires an available starting complex 1 to form a dicopper-dinitrosyl species hypothesized to be [{(tmpa)Cu}2(μ-NO)2]2+ (D) bearing a diamond-core motif, en route to the formation of hyponitrite intermediate 2. In contrast, exposing 1 to NO(g) in 2-MeTHF/THF (v/v 4:1) at <-80 °C leads to the newly observed transient metastable dinitrosyl species [(tmpa)CuII(NO)2] (1-(NO)2) prior to its disproportionation-mediated transformation to the nitrite product [(tmpa)CuII(NO2)]+. Our study furnishes a near-complete profile of NO(g) activation at a reduced Cu site with tripodal tetradentate ligation in two distinctly different solvents, aided by detailed spectroscopic characterization of metastable intermediates, including resonance Raman characterization of the new dinitrosyl and hyponitrite species detected.

Abstract
Nitrite is a common additive used during meat curing to prevent microbial contamination and retain an attractive red color in the product. However, the effects of nitrite on Fenton reactions catalyzed by free iron in meat products are not well understood, although such processes can induce protein oxidation and nitration, affecting the nutritional and aesthetic quality of meat products. This contribution reveals the mechanism through which nitrite affects Fenton reactions that generate reactive nitrogen and oxygen species by increasing the availability of Fe3+, facilitating its reduction and stabilizing Fe2+, and accelerating Fe3+/Fe2+ cycling, leading to exacerbated oxidative and nitrosative stress on proteins, with implications not only for meat processing but also in many biological and environmental processes due to the ubiquitous presence of iron, hydrogen peroxide, and nitrite in nature.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are characterized by deposits of amyloid proteins. The homeostasis of metal ions is crucial for the normal biological functions in the brain. However, in AD and PD, the imbalance of metal ions leads to formation of amyloid deposits. In the past four decades, there has been extensive effort to design compound agents than can chelate metal ions with the aim of preventing the formation of the amyloid deposits. Unfortunately, the compounds to date that were designed were not successful candidates to be used in clinical trials. Neuropeptides are small molecules that are produced and released by neurons. It has been shown that neuropeptides have neuroprotective effects in the brain and reduce the formation of amyloid deposits. This Review Article is focused on the function of neuropeptides as metal chelators. Experimental and computational studies demonstrated that neuropeptides could bind metal ions, such as Cu2+ and Zn2+. This Review Article provides perspectives and initiates future studies to investigate the role of neuropeptides as metal chelators in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Adult human brains consume a disproportionate amount of energy substrates (2-3% of body weight; 20-25% of total glucose and oxygen). Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a universal energy currency in brains and is produced by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) using ATP synthase, a nano-rotor powered by the proton gradient generated from proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) in the multi-complex electron transport chain (ETC). ETC catalysis rates are reduced in brains from humans with neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). Declines of ETC function in NDDs may result from combinations of nitrative stress (NS)-oxidative stress (OS) damage; mitochondrial and/or nuclear genomic mutations of ETC/OXPHOS genes; epigenetic modifications of ETC/OXPHOS genes; or defects in importation or assembly of ETC/OXPHOS proteins or complexes, respectively; or alterations in mitochondrial dynamics (fusion, fission, mitophagy). Substantial free energy is gained by direct O2-mediated oxidation of NADH. Traditional ETC mechanisms require separation between O2 and electrons flowing from NADH/FADH2 through the ETC. Quantum tunneling of electrons and much larger protons may facilitate this separation. Neuronal death may be viewed as a local increase in entropy requiring constant energy input to avoid. The ATP requirement of the brain may partially be used for avoidance of local entropy increase. Mitochondrial therapeutics seeks to correct deficiencies in ETC and OXPHOS.

Abstract
The concept of metal chelation is based on simple coordination chemistry. The development of an ideal metal chelator that completely and selectively removes toxic metals from a specific metal binding site in proteins is required to prevent and or inhibit a variety of diseases, among them neurodegenerative diseases. This work examines neuropeptide Y (NPY) as a Zn2+ and Cu2+ chelator agent. NPY is a natural peptide that is produced in the human body; therefore, it is not a toxic agent and the complex that it forms is not toxic as well. Our simulations reveal that NPY has an efficient Zn2+ chelation activity but is less effective in chelating Cu2+. Moreover, while NPY demonstrates several conformations, the metal chelation occurs more efficiently in its native structure. Beyond the exploration of the activity of NPY as a Zn2+ and Cu2+ chelator agent, this work provides an insight into the molecular mechanisms of the chelation of these metals at the molecular level. The outcomes from this work may guide future experimental studies to examine NPY in metal chelation therapy for neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Nontransgenic and 3xTG transgenic mice, which express mutant transgenes encoding human amyloid precursor protein (hAPP) along with Alzheimer's disease-associated versions of hTau and a presenilin mutation, acquired the Barnes Maze escape task equivalently at 3-9 months of age. Although nontransgenics retested at 6 and 9 months acquired the escape task more quickly than naïve mice, 3xTG mice did not. Deficits in Kalirin, a multidomain protein scaffold and guanine nucleotide exchange factor that regulates dendritic spines, has been proposed as a contributor to the cognitive decline observed in Alzheimer's disease. To test whether deficits in Kalirin might amplify deficits in 3xTG mice, mice heterozygous/hemizygous for Kalirin and the 3xTG transgenes were generated. Mouse strain, age and sex affected cortical expression of key proteins. hAPP levels in 3xTG mice increased total APP levels at all ages. Kalirin expression showed strong sex-dependent expression in C57 but not B6129 mice. Decreasing Kalirin levels to half had no effect on Barnes Maze task acquisition or retraining in 3xTG hemizygous mice.

Abstract
Flavonoid, as a potent antioxidant, exerts many beneficial effects in type 2 diabetes, whereas the prooxidative property may be also important in vivo if copper is involved. Here, we chose an insulin receptor kinase domain fragment (KK-1, residues 1126-1165), containing the A-loop of the receptor as well as three key autophosphorylation sites (Tyr1158, Tyr1162, and Tyr1163) associated with receptor signal transduction to investigate the roles and the structure-activity relationship of three antidiabetic flavonoids (kaempferol, luteolin, and apigenin) and two others with a similar structure (diosmetin and genistein), on modulation of Cu(II)-mediated tyrosine nitration and the corresponding effect on its functional phosphorylation in the Cu2+/H2O2/NO2- system. We found that both properties of flavonoid played roles on inhibition of Cu(II)-mediated protein nitration in the H2O2/NO2- system: (1) on the one hand, flavonoid scavenged free radicals as antioxidants, inhibited tyrosine nitration, and thus inhibited the reduction of tyrosine phosphorylation caused by tyrosine nitration; and (2) on the other hand, flavonoid promoted •OH production as a prooxidant, which increased 3,3'-dityrosine formation. The formation of 3,3'-dityrosine decreased Cu2+-induced tyrosine nitration and thus interfered with its phosphorylation. This study confirms that the weight relationship between antioxidation and prooxidation of a flavonoid needs to be studied clearly before nutritional and medical applications.

Abstract
We report the formation of a new copper peroxynitrite (PN) complex [CuII (TMG3 tren)(κ1 -OONO)]+ (PN1) from the reaction of [CuII (TMG3 tren)(O2 .- )]+ (1) with NO. (g) at -125 °C. The first resonance Raman spectroscopic characterization of such a metal-bound PN moiety supports a cis κ1 -(- OONO) geometry. PN1 transforms thermally into an isomeric form (PN2) with κ2 -O,O'-(- OONO) coordination, which undergoes O-O bond homolysis to generate a putative cupryl (LCuII -O. ) intermediate and NO2 . . These transient species do not recombine to give a nitrato (NO3 - ) product but instead proceed to effect oxidative chemistry and formation of a CuII -nitrito (NO2 - ) complex (2).

Abstract
Irreversible aggregation can extremely limit the bioavailability and therapeutic activity of peptide-based drugs. Thus, peptide fibrillation is an excellent challenge for biotechnological drug development. Human calcitonin (hCT) is such a peptide hormone known for its hypocalcaemic effect but has limited pharmaceutical potential due to a high tendency to aggregate. hCT is therefore not widely used preparation in clinical practice. Nonetheless, hCT seems to be still an ideal target for clinical therapy when fibrillation is effectively inhibited, because the alternatives of hCT can stimulate undesirable immune responses in patients and cause side effects. Interestingly, heme is an essential component for many livings and has been shown a strong inhibitory effect on some amyloidogenic peptides aggregation. Here we demonstrate that it may be a most suitable, safe, biocompatible small molecule inhibitor on hCT aggregation, and thereby improving its activity when guiding the drug peptide in clinical therapeutics. In this work, we found that heme was able to reversibly bind with hCT to form a heme-hCT complex with a moderate binding constant (9.17 × 106 M-1) and significantly suppress the aggregation of hCT probably accomplished by heme binding to it, blocking the β-sheet structure assembly which is essential in hCT fibril aggregation. Meanwhile, the heme-hCT complexes showed enhanced bioactivity compared to hCT itself after a 24 h incubation time in reducing blood calcium levels in mice. This study may develop a new strategy to reuse the wild-type hCT in clinical therapeutics.
