[PMID: 36893932 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2023.105580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
Phytochemical compounds, such as naringin and berberine, have been used for many years due to their antioxidant activities, and consequently, beneficial health effects. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant properties of naringin, berberine and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulated with naringin or berberine and their possible cytotoxic, genotoxic, and apoptotic effects on mouse fibroblast (NIH/3 T3) and colon cancer (Caco-2) cells. According to the results of the study, it was found that the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) inhibition antioxidant activity of naringin, berberine, and naringin or berberine encapsulated PMMA NPs, was significantly increased at higher tested concentrations due to the antioxidant effects of naringin, berberine and naringin or berberine encapsulated PMMA NPs. As a result of the cytotoxicity assay, after 24-, 48- and 72-h of exposure, all of the studied compounds caused cytotoxic effects in both cell lines. Genotoxic effects of studied compounds were not registered at lower tested concentrations. Based on these data, polymeric nanoparticles encapsulated with naringin or berberine may contribute to new treatment approaches for cancer, but further in vivo and in vitro research is required.

Abstract
This study established a high-efficiency fluorescence quenching approach for the in situ visualization and modeling of the spatial distribution of xylanase, β-glucosidase, and phosphatase activities in plant leaves under pollution stress (namely, the leaf zymography technique, LZT). In the LZT, a membrane saturated with an enzyme-specific fluorescent substrate on the leaf surface was incubated and the fluorescence image generated on the membrane under ultraviolet light was recorded. An image-based modeling method for restoring the morphological traits of the true image by reducing noise was developed to ensure the accurate estimation of enzyme activities. The LZT could simultaneously measure 48 samples within 2 h, with good reproducibility. The results obtained by the LZT were comparable to those obtained by a conventional biochemical analysis method and presented low-cost and convenient advantages. This paper explains the theoretical basis required to investigate the realistic application of the LZT for assessing ecotoxicity in large-scale monitoring.

Abstract
A simple plate-assay was developed with the purpose of detecting extracellular naringinase in streptomycetes. The naringin agar medium (NAM) was prepared by mixing carbon utilization medium (ISP9) and naringin. The clearing zones around colonies are correlated with the enzymatic activity. The assay validation was performed through the use of commercial naringinase (Penicillium decumbens).
