Abstract
The Fe(II) oxidation mechanism in the ferroxidase center of heavy chain ferritin has been studied extensively. However, the actual production of H2O2 was found to be substantially lower than expected at low flux of Fe(II) to ferritin subunits. Here, we demonstrated that H2O2 could interact with the di-iron nuclear center, leading to the production of hydroxyl radicals and oxygen. Two reaction intermediates were captured in the ferroxidase center by using the time-lapse crystallographic techniques in a shellfish ferritin. The crystal structures revealed the binding of H2O2 as a μ -1,2-peroxo-diferric species and the binding of O2 to the diferric structure. This investigation sheds light on the reaction between the di-iron nuclear center and H2O2 and provides insights for the exploitation of metalloenzymes.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity, namely, nanozymes, have been widely used as substitutes for natural enzymes, and they show excellent potential for application in many fields, such as biotechnology, environmental chemistry, and medicine. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are inorganic nanomaterials with adjustable compositions, simple preparation methods, and low costs and are some of the most promising candidate materials for the preparation of nanozymes. Here, we studied the syntheses and peroxidase-like activities of LDHs with four anions and four cations. First, LDHs prepared by the coprecipitation-hydrothermal method adopted hexagonal lamellar structures with good dispersion and uniform particle sizes. The Lambert-Beer law showed that the prepared LDHs exhibited good enzymatic activity. Later, the Km and Vmax values of the LDHs with different anionic/cationic materials intercalated into their structures were compared. Under the optimum conditions, the Vmax of Mg2Al-NO3-LDH was 7.35 × 10-2, which is 2-4 times higher than that of the LDHs containing other anions; the Vmax values of NiFe-LDH and FeAl-LDH were 0.152 and 0.284, respectively, which are 10 times higher than those of the LDHs with other cations. Importantly, according to kinetic analyses of the enzymatic reactions, the effects of Fe2+ and Fe3+ on the LDH enzyme activity were greater than those of the intercalated anions. This study showed that NiFe-LDH and FeAl-LDH with high catalytic activities are candidate materials for peroxidase simulations, which may provide new strategies for the application of LDHs in biosensors, antioxidants, biotechnology, and other nanozyme applications.

Initial Steps in the Reaction of H2O2 with Fe2+ and Fe3+ Ions: Inconsistency in the Free Radical Theory. REACTIONS 2023.

Abstract
Consideration of the changes in free energy shows that the assumed initial steps in reactions of H2O2 with Fe2+ and Fe3+ in the free radical theory are not consistent. The free radical theory is unable to account for the Fe3+-initiated decomposition of H2O2 or for oxidations by it. In reactions with Fe2+ ions at high [H2O2], where O2 evolution reaches a limit, such limit is not foreseen by the free radical model. At lower [H2O2], because of a disallowed substitution in the equation used, the interpretation is not valid. It appears, therefore, that free radicals derived from H2O2 do not provide a suitable basis for constructing models for these reactions. Non-radical models are more successful in interpreting experimental results.

Abstract
Fossil sourced chemicals such as aromatics, are widely employed in the chemical industry for the production of commodity items. Recognizing the un-sustainability of existing approaches in the production of these chemicals, the current study investigated the valorization of apple pomace (AP) for their production. The present study assessed AP valorization by imposing variations in processing conditions of temperature (100-260 °C), time (0.5-12 h), alcohol/water ratio v/v (0:1-1:0), and Fe3+/H2O2 molar ratio (10:1-100-1), in accordance to the Box-Behnken experimental design. The optimal yield of the oil was 24.6 wt.%, at the temperature, time, alcohol/water ratio v/v, and Fe3+/H2O2 molar ratio of 260 °C, 4.7 h, 1, and 100, respectively. Notably, the application of gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy showed that the oil product contained mainly aromatics and interestingly also alkanes, indicating that the experimental conditions imposed promoted secondary hydrogenation reactions of oxygen-containing species during AP valorization. A consideration of the comparative economics of the proposed AP valorization and the existing AP management approach, using approximate estimation techniques, highlighted the potential of a ~ 59% reduction in the unit cost of AP management. The study therefore presents a compelling basis for future investigations into AP waste management using the thermochemical liquefaction technology. Graphical abstract

Abstract
The redox transformation between the oxidation states of thallium (Tl(I) and Tl(III)) is the key to influencing its toxicity, reactivity, and mobility. Dissolved iron (Fe) is widely distributed in the environment and coexists at a high level with Tl in acidic mine drainages (AMDs). While ultraviolet (UV) light and H2O2 can directly (by inducing Tl(III) reduction) and indirectly (by inducing Fe(III) to form reactive intermediates) impact the redox cycles of Tl in Fe(III)-containing solutions, the kinetics and mechanism remain largely unclear. This study is the first to investigate the UV light- and H2O2-mediated Tl redox kinetics in acidic Fe(III) solutions. The results demonstrate that UV light and H2O2 could directly reduce Tl(III) to Tl(I), with the extent of reduction dependent on the presence of Fe(III) and the solution pH. At pH 3.0, Tl(I) was completely oxidized to Tl(III), which can be ascribed to the generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) from the Fe(III) photoreduction or Fe(III) reaction with H2O2. The kinetics of Tl(I) oxidation were strongly affected by the Fe(III) concentration, pH, light source, and water matrix. Kinetic models incorporating Tl redox kinetics with Fe redox kinetics were developed and satisfactorily interpreted Tl(III) reduction and Tl(I) oxidation under the examined conditions. These findings emphasize the roles of the UV light- and H2O2-driven Fe cycles in influencing the redox state of Tl, with implications for determining its mobility and fate in the environment.

Abstract
Dual Brønsted/Lewis acid catalysis involving environmentally benign, readily accessible protic acid and iron promotes site-selective tert-butylation of electron-rich arenes using di-tert-butylperoxide. This transformation inspired the development of a synergistic Brønsted/Lewis acid catalyzed aromatic alkylation that fills a gap in the Friedel–Crafts reaction literature by employing unactivated tertiary alcohols as alkylating agents, leading to new quaternary carbon centers. Corroborated by DFT calculations, the Lewis acid serves a role in enhancing the acidity of the Brønsted acid. The use of non-allylic, non-benzylic, and non-propargylic tertiary alcohols represents an underexplored area in Friedel–Crafts reactivity. Dual Brønsted/Lewis acid catalysis involving environmentally benign, readily accessible protic acid and iron promotes site-selective tert-alkylation of arenes using di-tert-butylperoxide and tertiary alcohols.![]()

Abstract
Tea, one of the most widely consumed beverages, is prepared from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis. The promising health recompenses of tea have been linked to its different phenolic components, which have diverse biological characteristics. Tea also contains several flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic, theanine, etc., which are associated with anti-oxidant characteristics and a variety of health benefits. It can also lower the pervasiveness of neurological disorders as well as prevent different types of cancer, metabolic syndromes, cardiovascular diseases, urinary stone, obesity, type 2 diabetes. Keeping in mind that tea helps to improve health and prevents many diseases, its consumption has been regarded as a "health-promoting habit" and current medical investigators have established the scientific basis for this concept over time. The current review provides new updated information and perspectives on the tea phytochemicals and their overall health benefits based on molecular processes, experimental studies, and clinical trials.

Abstract
Ascorbic acid is a multifaceted compound that can perform both antioxidant and pro-oxidant activities in the redox reactions induced by transition metal ions, so its role in nature and especially in the human body is still the subject of debate. In the present study, we have examined the influence of ascorbic acid on lipid peroxidation in a model system that mimics the cell membrane, namely micelles of linoleic acid (LA), induced by chelate complexes of iron and copper ions with quinone-chelator 2-phenyl-4-(butylamino)-naphtholquinoline-7,12-dione (Q1). This quinone effectively generates reactive oxygen species and semiquinone radicals inside cancer cells via a cycling redox reaction. Here it was demonstrated that in the absence of quinone-chelator ascorbic acid significantly accelerates the lipid peroxidation induced by both Fe(II) and Cu(II) ions. It has been shown also that Q1 chelate complexes with Fe(II) and Cu(II) ions are redox active in the LA micelles oxidation. No effect of ascorbate was detected on the reactivity of chelate complex with Fe(II) ions. On the other hand, ascorbate performs pro-oxidant activity in Q1-Cu(II) complex induced reaction. We can conclude that ascorbate-driven redox cycling of Q1 may promote its anti-tumor activity.

Abstract
The iron-catalyzed disproportionation of H2O2 has been investigated for over a century, as has been its ability to induce the oxidation of other species present in the system (Fenton reaction). The mechanisms of these reactions have been under consideration at least since 1932. Unfortunately, little or no attention has been paid to ensuring the conformity of the proposed mechanisms and rate constants with the constraints of the principle of detailed balancing. Here we identify more than 200 publications having mechanisms that violate the principle of detailed balancing. These violations occur through the use of incorrect values for certain rate constants, the use of incorrect forms of the rate laws for certain steps in the mechanisms, and the inclusion of illegal loops. A core mechanism for the iron-catalyzed decomposition of H2O2 is proposed that is consistent with the principle of detailed balancing and includes both the one-electron oxidation of H2O2 by Fe(III) and the Fe(II) reduction of HO2˙.

Abstract
Nanozymes are particles with diameters in the range of 1–100 nm, which has been widely studied due to their biological enzyme-like properties and stability that natural enzymes do not have. In this study, several reducing agents with different structures (catechol (Cc), hydroquinone (Hq), resorcinol (Rs), vitamin C (Vc), pyrogallic acid (Ga), sodium citrate (Sc), sodium malate (Sm), and sodium tartrate (St)) were used to prepare colloidal gold with a negative charge and similar particle size by controlling the temperature and pH. The affinity analysis of the substrate H2O2 and TMB showed that the order of activities of colloidal gold Nanozymes prepared by different reducing agents was Cc, Hq, Rs, Vc, Ga, Sc, Sm, St. It was also found that the enzyme activity of colloidal gold reduced by benzene rings is higher than that of the colloidal gold enzyme reduced by linear chains. Finally, we discussed the activity of the colloidal gold peroxidase based on the number and position of isomers and functional groups; and demonstrated that the nanozymes activity is affected by the surface activity of colloidal gold, the elimination of hydroxyl radicals and the TMB binding efficiency.

Ascorbate-and iron-driven redox activity of Dp44mT and emodin facilitates peroxidation of micelles and bicelles. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2021; 1866:130078. [PMID: 34974127 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2021.130078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron (Fe)-induced oxidative stress leads to reactive oxygen species that damage biomembranes, with this mechanism being involved in the activity of some anti-cancer chemotherapeutics. METHODS Herein, we compared the effect of Fe complexes of the ligand, di-2-pyridylketone 4,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (Dp44mT), or the potential ligand, Emodin, on lipid peroxidation in cell membrane models (micelles and bicelles). These studies were performed in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the absence or presence of ascorbate. RESULTS In the absence of ascorbate, Fe(II)/Emodin mixtures incubated with H2O2 demonstrated slight pro-oxidant properties on micelles versus Fe(II) alone, while the Fe(III)-Dp44mT complex exhibited marked antioxidant properties. Examining more physiologically relevant phospholipid-containing bicelles, the Fe(II)- and Fe(III)-Dp44mT complexes demonstrated antioxidant activity without ascorbate. Upon adding ascorbate, there was a significant increase in the peroxidation of micelles and bicelles in the presence of unchelated Fe(II) and H2O2. The addition of ascorbate to Fe(III)-Dp44mT substantially increased the peroxidation of micelles and bicelles, with the Fe(III)-Dp44mT complex being reduced by ascorbate to the Fe(II) state, explaining the increased reactivity. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrated ascorbyl radical anion generation after mixing ascorbate and Emodin, with signal intensity being enhanced by H2O2. This finding suggested Emodin semiquinone radical formation that could play a role in its reactivity via ascorbate-driven redox cycling. Examining cultured melanoma cells in vitro, ascorbate at pharmacological levels enhanced the anti-proliferative activity of Dp44mT and Emodin. CONCLUSIONS AND GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Ascorbate-driven redox cycling of Dp44mT and Emodin promotes their anti-proliferative activity.

Abstract
Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for cellular processes, excessive ROS could be a major cause of various inflammatory diseases because of the oxidation of proteins, DNA, and membrane lipids. It has recently been suggested that the amount of ROS could thus be regulated to treat such physiological disorders. A ROS-scavenging hydrogel is a promising candidate for therapeutic applications because of its high biocompatibility, 3D matrix, and ability to be modified. Approaches to conferring antioxidant properties to normal hydrogels include embedding ROS-scavenging catalytic nanoparticles, modifying hydrogel polymer chains with ROS-adsorbing organic moieties, and incorporating ROS-labile linkers in polymer backbones. Such therapeutic hydrogels can be used for wound healing, cardiovascular diseases, bone repair, ocular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. ROS-scavenging hydrogels could eliminate oxidative stress, accelerate the regeneration process, and show synergetic effects with other drugs or therapeutic molecules. In this review, the mechanisms by which ROS are generated and scavenged in the body are outlined, and the effects of high levels of ROS and the resulting oxidative stress on inflammatory diseases are described. Next, the mechanism of ROS scavenging by hydrogels is explained depending on the ROS-scavenging agents embedded within the hydrogel. Lastly, the recent achievements in the development of ROS-scavenging hydrogels to treat various inflammation-associated diseases are presented.

Scavenger with Protonated Phosphite Ions for Incredible Nanoscale ZrO 2-Abrasive Dispersant Stability Enhancement and Related Tungsten-Film Surface Chemical-Mechanical Planarization. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11123296. [PMID: 34947644 PMCID: PMC8706925 DOI: 10.3390/nano11123296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 11/27/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
For scaling-down advanced nanoscale semiconductor devices, tungsten (W)-film surface chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) has rapidly evolved to increase the W-film surface polishing rate via Fenton-reaction acceleration and enhance nanoscale-abrasive (i.e., ZrO2) dispersant stability in the CMP slurry by adding a scavenger to suppress the Fenton reaction. To enhance the ZrO2 abrasive dispersant stability, a scavenger with protonate-phosphite ions was designed to suppress the time-dependent Fenton reaction. The ZrO2 abrasive dispersant stability (i.e., lower H2O2 decomposition rate and longer H2O2 pot lifetime) linearly and significantly increased with scavenger concentration. However, the corrosion magnitude on the W-film surface during CMP increased significantly with scavenger concentration. By adding a scavenger to the CMP slurry, the radical amount reduction via Fenton-reaction suppression in the CMP slurry and the corrosion enhancement on the W-film surface during CMP performed that the W-film surface polishing rate decreased linearly and notably with increasing scavenger concentration via a chemical-dominant CMP mechanism. Otherwise, the SiO2-film surface polishing rate peaked at a specific scavenger concentration via a chemical and mechanical-dominant CMP mechanism. The addition of a corrosion inhibitor with a protonate-amine functional group to the W-film surface CMP slurry completely suppressed the corrosion generation on the W-film surface during CMP without a decrease in the W- and SiO2-film surface polishing rate.

Abstract
In recent decades, artificial nanozymes with excellent stability, low cost and availability have been gradually explored to avoid the limits of natural enzymes such as poor stability, high cost and difficult preparation. Herein, for the first time, we investigated the capability of nanoscale Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) as a nanozyme, which was quickly synthesized in situ by a microwave-assisted method within 20 min using Fe3O4 as the metal precursor. The obtained Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) showed satisfactory intrinsic dual enzyme mimetic activities, including peroxidase (POD)- and catalase (CAT)-like activities. Moreover, a simple and effective colorimetric biosensor was fabricated to detect glutathione (GSH) based on its POD-like activity. The proposed measurement had a linear range of 1-45 μM and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.26 μM (3.3 δ/S). It was proved that the established colorimetric sensing system could be successfully applied to detect GSH in actual biological samples. Importantly, the outstanding reusability and stability made it extremely valuable as a catalyst. The present work implied that Fe3O4@MIL-100(Fe) synthesized in situ by the microwave-assisted method was a very promising candidate for biocatalyst and biosensing.

Abstract
The origin of an upper limit to the amount of O2 evolved in the rapid reaction between Fe2+ and H2O2 was investigated at a high concentration of H2O2. Using a nonradical model, including the formation of a primary Fe2+–biperoxy complex with a diminished rate of formation of the active intermediate FeO2+, agreement has been reached for the first time with the experimental data obtained by Barb et al. A limited formation of O2 requires that a finite concentration of H2O2 should be present in the reaction mixture when [Fe2+] falls to zero. It has been shown that in Barb et al.’s model the condition for such a state ([Fe2+] = 0, [H2O2] > 0) does not exist. Free radical based models fail as mechanisms for the Fenton reaction.

Abstract
Radiotherapy has been widely used in clinical cancer treatment. However, the ionizing radiation required to kill the tumor will inevitably cause damage to the surrounding normal tissues. To minimize the radiation damage and side effects, small molecular radioprotective agents have been used as clinical adjuvants for radiation protection of healthy tissues. However, the shortcomings of small molecules such as short circulation time and rapid kidney clearance from the body greatly hinder their biomedical applications. In recent years, nanozymes have attracted much attention because of their potential to treat a variety of diseases. Nanozymes exhibit catalytic properties and antioxidant capabilities to provide a potential solution for the development of high-efficiency radioprotective agents in radiotherapy and nuclear radiation accidents. Therefore, in this review, we systematically summarize the catalytic nanozymes used for radiation protection of healthy tissues and discuss the challenges and future prospects of nanomaterials in the field of radiation protection.

Abstract
Simple Summary One fundamental feature that has emerged from in vitro application of cold plasmas in cancer treatment is the key role of the liquid phase covering the cells. In the present work, we investigated the effect of direct and indirect plasma treatments on two cancer and three normal cell lines to assess the benefits of one treatment over the other in terms of death of tumor versus healthy cells. Our results demonstrate that indirect plasma treatment is as efficient at killing tumor cells as an appropriate combination of H2O2, NO2− and acidic pH in ad hoc solutions, while sparing normal cells. However, direct plasma treatment is far more efficient at killing normal than tumor cells, and we provide evidence that short- and long-lived reactive species contribute synergistically to kill normal cells, while having an additive effect regarding tumor cell death. Collectively, our results call the use of plasma-activated liquid in cancer treatment into question. Abstract (1) Plasma-activated liquids (PAL) have been extensively studied for their anti-cancer properties. Two treatment modalities can be applied to the cells, direct and indirect plasma treatments, which differ by the environment to which the cells are exposed. For direct plasma treatment, the cells covered by a liquid are present during the plasma treatment time (phase I, plasma ON) and the incubation time (phase II, plasma OFF), while for indirect plasma treatment, phase I is cell-free and cells are only exposed to PAL during phase II. The scope of this work was to study these two treatment modalities to bring new insights into the potential use of PAL for cancer treatment. (2) We used two models of head and neck cancer cells, CAL27 and FaDu, and three models of normal cells (1Br3, NHK, and RPE-hTERT). PBS was used as the liquid of interest, and the concentration of plasma-induced H2O2, NO2− and NO3−, as well as pH change, were measured. Cells were exposed to direct plasma treatment, indirect plasma treatment or reconstituted buffer (PBS adjusted with plasma-induced concentrations of H2O2, NO2−, NO3− and pH). Metabolic cell activity, cell viability, lipid peroxidation, intracellular ROS production and caspase 3/7 induction were quantified. (3) If we showed that direct plasma treatment is slightly more efficient than indirect plasma treatment and reconstituted buffer at inducing lipid peroxidation, intracellular increase of ROS and cancer cell death in tumor cells, our data also revealed that reconstituted buffer is equivalent to indirect plasma treatment. In contrast, normal cells are quite insensitive to these two last treatment modalities. However, they are extremely sensitive to direct plasma treatment. Indeed, we found that phase I and phase II act in synergy to trigger cell death in normal cells and are additive concerning tumor cell death. Our data also highlight the presence in plasma-treated PBS of yet unidentified short-lived reactive species that contribute to cell death. (4) In this study, we provide strong evidence that, in vitro, the concentration of RONS (H2O2, NO2− and NO3−) in combination with the acidic pH are the main drivers of plasma-induced PBS toxicity in tumor cells but not in normal cells, which makes ad hoc reconstituted solutions powerful anti-tumor treatments. In marked contrast, direct plasma treatment is deleterious for normal cells in vitro and should be avoided. Based on our results, we discuss the limitations to the use of PAL for cancer treatments.

Abstract
A proof-of-concept for the fabrication of a self-polymerizing system for sampling of gut microbiome in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract is presented. An orally ingestible microdevice is loaded with the self-polymerizing reaction mixture to entrap gut microbiota and biomarkers. This polymerization reaction is activated in the aqueous environment, like fluids in the intestinal lumen, and causes site-specific microsampling in the gastrointestinal tract. The sampled microbiota and protein biomarkers can be isolated and analyzed via high-throughput multiomic analyses. The study utilizes a hollow microdevice (Su-8, ca. 250 μm), loaded with an on-board reaction mixture (iron chloride, ascorbic acid, and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate monomers) for diacrylate polymerization in the gut of an animal model. An enteric-coated rat capsule was used to orally gavage these microdevices in a rat model, thereby, protecting the microdevices in the stomach (pH 2), but releasing them in the intestine (pH 6.6). Upon capsule disintegration, the microdevices were released in the presence of luminal fluids (in the small intestine region), where iron chloride reacts with ascorbic acid, to initiate poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate polymerization via a free radical mechanism. Upon retrieval of the microdevices, gut microbiota was found to be entrapped in the polymerized hydrogel matrix, and genomic content was analyzed via 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing. Herein, the results show that the bacterial composition recovered from the microdevices closely resemble the bacterial composition of the gut microenvironment to which the microdevice is exposed. Further, histological assessment showed no signs of local tissue inflammation or toxicity. This study lays a strong foundation for the development of untethered, non-invasive microsampling technologies in the gut and advances our understanding of host-gut microbiome interactions, leading to a better understanding of their commensal behavior and associated GI disease progression in the near future.

Abstract
Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is an important posttranscriptional event in eukaryotes; however, many features remain largely unexplored in prokaryotes. This study focuses on a serine-to-proline recoding event (S128P) that originated in the mRNA of fliC, which encodes a flagellar filament protein; the editing event was observed in RNA-seq samples exposed to oxidative stress. Using Sanger sequencing, we show that the S128P editing event is induced by H2O2. To investigate the in vivo interaction between RNAs and TadA, which is the principal enzyme for A-to-I editing, genome-wide RNA immunoprecipitation–coupled high-throughput sequencing (iRIP-Seq) analysis was performed using HA-tagged TadA from Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola. We found that TadA can bind to the mRNA of fliC and the binding motif is identical to that previously reported by Bar-Yaacov and colleagues. This editing event increased motility and enhanced tolerance to oxidative stress due to changes in flagellar filament structure, which was modelled in 3D and measured by TEM. The change in filament structure due to the S128P mutant increased biofilm formation, which was measured by the 3D laser scanning confocal microscopy. RNA-seq revealed that a gene cluster that contributes to siderophore biosynthesis and Fe3+ uptake was upregulated in S128P compared with WT. Based on intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species and an oxidative stress survival assay, we found that this gene cluster can contribute to the reduction of the Fenton reaction and increases biofilm formation and bacterial virulence. This oxidative stress response was also confirmed in Pseudomonas putida. Overall, our work demonstrates that A-to-I RNA editing plays a role in bacterial pathogenicity and adaptation to oxidative stress. Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is an important posttranscriptional event in eukaryotes that has only been recently documented in bacteria. In this study, we use multiple ‘omic’ approaches to show that A-to-I RNA editing can occur in fliC, a flagellar filament protein. We show that TadA, which encodes adenosine deaminase, can directly bind to mRNA of target genes through recognition of a GACG motif. This editing event changes a single amino acid residue from serine to proline in FliC, resulting in a structural change in the flagellar filament. This posttranscriptional editing event contributes to virulence and increases tolerance to oxidative stress by enhancing biofilm formation. Our results provide insight into a new mechanism that bacterial pathogens use to adapt to oxidative stress, which can also increase virulence.

Photocatalytic enhancement of antibacterial effects of photoreactive nanohybrid films in an in vitro Streptococcus mitis model. Arch Oral Biol 2020; 117:104837. [PMID: 32673821 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2020.104837] [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: 02/28/2020] [Revised: 05/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bacterial adhesion and colonization on implanted devices are major etiological factors of peri-implantitis in dentistry. Enhancing the antibacterial properties of implant surfaces is a promising way to reduce the occurrence of inflammations. In this in vitro study, the antibacterial potential of two nanocomposite surfaces were investigated, as possible new materials for implantology. MATERIAL AND METHODS The structural and photocatalytic properties of the TiO2 and Ag-TiO2 (with 0.001 wt% plasmonic Ag content) photocatalyst containing polymer based composite layers were also studied and compared to the unmodified standard sandblasted and acid etched Ti discs (control). The presence of visible light induced reactive oxygen species was also verified and quantified by luminol based chemiluminescence (CL) probe method. The discs with adhered Streptococcus mitis were illuminated for 5, 10 and 15 min. The antibacterial effect was determined by the metabolic activities of the adhered and proliferated bacterial cells and protein assay at each time point. RESULTS The Ag-TiO2 containing surfaces with obvious photocatalytic activity eliminated the highest amount of the metabolically active bacteria, compared to the control discs in the dark, after 15 min illumination. CONCLUSIONS The plasmonic Ag-enhanced and illuminated surface exhibits significantly better antibacterial activity under harmless visible light irradiation, than the control Ti or TiO2 containing copolymer. The studied surface modifications could be promising for further, more complex investigations associated with dental research on infection prevention in connection with oral implantation.

Redox Interactions of Vitamin C and Iron: Inhibition of the Pro-Oxidant Activity by Deferiprone. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21113967.

Abstract
Ascorbic acid (AscH2) is one of the most important vitamins found in the human diet, with many biological functions including antioxidant, chelating, and coenzyme activities. Ascorbic acid is also widely used in medical practice especially for increasing iron absorption and as an adjuvant therapeutic in iron chelation therapy, but its mode of action and implications in iron metabolism and toxicity are not yet clear. In this study, we used UV–Vis spectrophotometry, NMR spectroscopy, and EPR spin trapping spectroscopy to investigate the antioxidant/pro-oxidant effects of ascorbic acid in reactions involving iron and the iron chelator deferiprone (L1). The experiments were carried out in a weak acidic (pH from 3 to 5) and neutral (pH 7.4) medium. Ascorbic acid exhibits predominantly pro-oxidant activity by reducing Fe3+ to Fe2+, followed by the formation of dehydroascorbic acid. As a result, ascorbic acid accelerates the redox cycle Fe3+ ↔ Fe2+ in the Fenton reaction, which leads to a significant increase in the yield of toxic hydroxyl radicals. The analysis of the experimental data suggests that despite a much lower stability constant of the iron–ascorbate complex compared to the FeL13 complex, ascorbic acid at high concentrations is able to substitute L1 in the FeL13 chelate complex resulting in the formation of mixed L12AscFe complex. This mixed chelate complex is redox stable at neutral pH = 7.4, but decomposes at pH = 4–5 during several minutes at sub-millimolar concentrations of ascorbic acid. The proposed mechanisms play a significant role in understanding the mechanism of action, pharmacological, therapeutic, and toxic effects of the interaction of ascorbic acid, iron, and L1.

Abstract
Low H2O2 utilization efficiency is the main problem when Fenton system was used to oxidize NO in flue gas. To understand the behaviour of the free radicals during NO oxidation process in Fenton system is crucial to solving this problem. The oxidation capacity of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on NO in Fenton system was compared and the useless consumption path of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] that caused the low utilization efficiency of H2O2 were studied. A method to enhance the oxidation ability and H2O2 utilization efficiency by adding reducing additives in Fenton system was proposed. The results showed that both of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were active substances that oxidize NO. However, the oxidation ability of [Formula: see text] radicals was stronger. The vast majority of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] was consumed by rapid reaction [Formula: see text] , which was the primary reason for the low utilization efficiency of H2O2 in Fenton system. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride and ascorbic acid could accelerate the conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+, thereby increase the generation rate of ·OH and decrease the generation rate of [Formula: see text]. As a result, the oxidation ability and H2O2 utilization efficiency were enhanced.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes are powerful biocatalysts that can catalyze particular chemical reactions with high activity, selectivity, and specificity under mild conditions. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composed of metal ions or metal clusters and organic ligands with defined cavities have the potential to impart enzyme-like catalytic activity and mimic metalloenzymes. Here, a new metal-organic framework implanted with hydroxo iron(III) sites with the structural and reactivity characteristics of iron-containing lipoxygenases is reported. Similar to lipoxygenases, the hydrogen atoms and electrons of the substrate can transfer to the hydroxo iron(III) sites, showing typical proton-coupled electron transfer behavior. In the reactivity mimicking biology system, similar to alcohol oxidase, the material also catalyses the oxidation of alcohol into aldehyde by using O2 with a high yield and 100% selectivity under mild conditions, without the use of a radical cocatalyst or photoexcitation. These results provide strong evidence for the high structural fidelity of enzymatically active sites in MOF materials, verifying that MOFs provide an ideal platform for designing biomimetic heterogeneous catalysts with high conversion efficiency and product selectivity.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death pathway that can eradicate certain apoptosis-insensitive cancer cells. The ferroptosis-inducing molecules are tailored lipid peroxides whose efficacy is compromised in hypoxic solid tumor and lack of tumor selectivity. It has been demonstrated that ascorbate (Asc) in pharmacological concentrations can selectively kill cancer cells via accumulating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) only in tumor extracellular fluids. It was hypothesized that Asc-induced, selective enrichment of H2O2 in tumor coupled with Fe3+ codelivery could simultaneously address the above two problems via boosting the levels of hydroxyl radicals and oxygen in the tumor site to ease peroxidation initiation and propagation, respectively. The aim of this work was to synergize the action of Asc with lipid-coated calcium phosphate (CaP) hybrid nanocarrier that can concurrently load polar Fe3+ and nonpolar RSL3, a ferroptosis inducer with the mechanism of inhibiting lipid peroxide repair enzyme (GPX4). The hybrid nanocarriers showed accelerated cargo release at acidic conditions (pH 5.0). The combinational approach (Asc plus nanocarrier) produced significantly elevated levels of hydroxyl radicals, lipid peroxides, and depleted glutathione under hypoxia, which was accompanied with the strong cytotoxicity (IC50 = 1.2 ± 0.2 μM) in the model 4 T1 cells. In the 4 T1 tumor-bearing xenograft mouse model, the intravenous nanocarrier delivery plus intraperitoneal Asc administration resulted in a superior antitumor performance in terms of tumor suppression, which did not produce supplementary adverse effects to the healthy organs. This work provides a novel approach to enhance the potency of ferroptotic nanomedicine against solid tumors without inducing additional side effects.

Abstract
The research on nanozymes has increased dramatically in recent years and a new interdiscipline, nanozymology, has emerged. A variety of nanomaterials have been designed to mimic the characteristics of natural enzymes, which connects an important bridge between nanotechnology and biological science. Unlike natural enzymes, the nanoscale properties of nanozymes endow them with the potential to regulate their enzymatic-like activity from different perspectives. The mechanisms behind those methods are intriguing. In this Review, we introduce these mechanisms from the aspects of surface chemistry, surface modification, molecular imprinting, and hybridization and then focus attention on some specific catalytic mechanisms of several representative nanozymes. The applications of nanozymes ranging from bioassay, imaging, to disease therapy are also discussed in detail to prove the fact that the inherent physicochemical properties of nanomaterials not only make nanozymes the analogues of biological enzymes, but also endow them with incomparable advantages and broad prospects in biomedical fields. Finally, four characteristics and some challenges of nanozymes are summarized.

Abstract
An ultrafine α-CeO2-α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite was prepared from the ultradispersed nanoparticles of cerium (IV) and iron (III) amorphous hydroxides heat-treated at 600 °С and 900 °С in the air. The initial composites were obtained by the successive ionic layer deposition (SILD) method. According to scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), the cerium/iron ratio in the synthesized nanocomposite is close to 1:2, and the α-CeO2 and α-Fe2O3 nanocrystals are isometrically shaped and have an average size of 4 ± 1 and 7 ± 1 nm (600 °С) and 24 ± 2 and 35 ± 3 nm (900 °С), respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) have shown that nanocrystals are evenly distributed in the composite volume and are spatially conjugated. The formation mechanisms of both initial amorphous composites of cerium (IV) and iron (III) hydroxides and of α-CeO2 and α-Fe2O3 nanocrystals were established. It was shown that synthesis of the initial hydroxide composite using the SILD method proceeds via the formation of amorphous cerium hydroxo-peroxide (CeO(OOH)2). As a result of the study, a schematic mechanism for the formation of a composite based on ultrafine nanocrystals of cerium (IV) and iron (III) oxides has been proposed.

Abstract
We studied the exothermic laws of Fe3+/H2O2 homogeneous quasi-Fenton degradation of o-phenylenediamine in waste water, and analyzed the effects of [H2O2] and [Fe3+], initial reaction temperature, and other factors on the solution temperature elevation (Δt), temperature elevation duration (T), and chemical oxygen demand degradation rate (η) during the degradation of the target pollutant. Our study found that [H2O2] is a major factor affecting Δt, while [Fe3+] and t0 are the main factors influencing the exothermic reaction rate. For the conditions wherein [H2O2] is 0.2 mol L−1, [Fe3+] is 10 mmol L−1, pH = 7.8, initial reaction temperature is 30 °C, and reaction duration is 30 min, Δt of 200 mL of 0.04 mol L−1o-phenylenediamine is 7.2 °C and η is 93.45%. The exothermic reaction between the free radicals (·OH and ) and o-phenylenediamine and the exothermic reaction due to auto-consumption of free radicals are the main reasons for the increased temperature of the solution. The external consumption and the self-consumption of reactive oxygen species are found to be the main exothermic reactions.![]()

Abstract
The effect of ethanol on the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 by Fe3+ was investigated. While expecting a simple competitive oxidation of C2H5OH, far more complex kinetics were encountered experimentally: already minute amounts of C2H5OH (1% of H2O2) had a powerful retardation effect on the disappearance of H2O2. This fact indicated the operation of an intricate mechanism. It excluded the possibility of OH• radicals being the active agents in the oxidation: OH• radicals generated by radiolysis react with C2H5OH with a very high rate constant. The interpretation of the experimental results was based on a mechanism involving iron in a +5 oxidation state (FeO3+) as the active intermediate and its binding in complex structures in which activity is reduced. The question of free radical versus non-radical mechanisms is discussed. The conclusions differ from generally accepted concepts in relation to the Fenton and related reactions.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a significant self-renewal capacity and can differentiate into a variety of cell types. Cell labeling is crucial as it is difficult to detect cell fate after transplantation in vivo. MSCs labeled with iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), which can be tracked by MRI, have tremendous potential in regenerative medicine and oncological research. As a part of nanoparticle, the iron oxide core is a key aspect that can exhibit adverse or beneficial effects on MSCs labeled for tracking. Some IONPs exhibit adverse effects, such as cytotoxicity and apoptosis, while other IONPs exhibit beneficial functions that can promote both MSC proliferation and homing efficiency. This review reveals the cytotoxic mechanisms and potential functions of the iron oxide core of IONPs in cell labeling as well as strategies for minimizing the intracellular effects of IONPs.

Abstract
Abstract
The role of metal ions in the mechanism of light-stimulated redox activity of potential anticancer agent 2-phenyl-4-(butylamino)naphtha[2,3-h]quinoline-7,12-dione (Qc) has been studied by CIDNP (chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization) and EPR methods. The photo-induced oxidation of NADH and its synthetic analog – substituted dihydropyridine (DHP) – by quinone Qc was used as a model. The Qc capability of producing chelating complexes with divalent metal ions of Fe, Zn and Ca was studied quantitatively by optical absorption spectroscopy. A significant decrease of electrochemical reduction potential of Qc (ΔE=0.4−0.6 eV for ACN and ACN/PBS solutions) in chelating complexes and in protonated form of Qc was observed. A pronounced increase in efficiency of DHP oxidation in chelating complexes with Zn2+ and Ca2+ ions compared with free Qc was demonstrated. The yields of free radicals, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reaction products, were a few times higher than those in the absence of metal ions. Application of such chelating compounds to enhance ROS generation looks very promising for anti-cancer therapy, including the photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
The combination of intense solar radiation and soil desiccation creates a short circuit in the biogeochemical carbon cycle, where soils release significant amounts of CO2 and reactive nitrogen oxides by abiotic oxidation. Here we show that desert soils accumulate metal superoxides and peroxides at higher levels than non-desert soils. We also show the photogeneration of equimolar superoxide and hydroxyl radical in desiccated and aqueous soils, respectively, by a photo-induced electron transfer mechanism supported by their mineralogical composition. Reactivity of desert soils is further supported by the generation of hydroxyl radical via aqueous extracts in the dark. Our findings extend to desert soils the photogeneration of reactive oxygen species by certain mineral oxides and also explain previous studies on desert soil organic oxidant chemistry and microbiology. Similar processes driven by ultraviolet radiation may be operating in the surface soils on Mars.

Free Radic Biol Med 2015; 78:118-22. [PMID: 25451643 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2014.10.513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2014] [Revised: 09/22/2014] [Accepted: 10/13/2014] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Deferiprone (L1) is an effective iron-chelating drug that is widely used for the treatment of iron-overload diseases. It is known that in aqueous solutions Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) ions can produce hydroxyl radicals via Fenton and photo-Fenton reactions. Although previous studies with Fe(2+) have reported ferroxidase activity by L1 followed by the formation of Fe(3+) chelate complexes and potential inhibition of Fenton reaction, no detailed data are available on the molecular antioxidant mechanisms involved. Similarly, in vitro studies have also shown that L1-Fe(3+) complexes exhibit intense absorption bands up to 800nm and might be potential sources of phototoxicity. In this study we have applied an EPR spin trapping technique to answer two questions: (1) does L1 inhibit the Fenton reaction catalyzed by Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) ions and (2) does UV-Vis irradiation of the L1-Fe(3+) complex result in the formation of reactive oxygen species. PBN and TMIO spin traps were used for detection of oxygen free radicals, and TEMP was used to trap singlet oxygen if it was formed via energy transfer from L1 in the triplet excited state. It was demonstrated that irradiation of Fe(3+) aqua complexes by UV and visible light in the presence of spin traps results in the appearance of an EPR signal of the OH spin adduct (TMIO-OH, a(N)=14.15G, a(H)=16.25G; PBN-OH, a(N)=16.0G, a(H)=2.7G). The presence of L1 completely inhibited the OH radical production. The mechanism of OH spin adduct formation was confirmed by the detection of methyl radicals in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide. No formation of singlet oxygen was detected under irradiation of L1 or its iron complexes. Furthermore, the interaction of L1 with Fe(2+) ions completely inhibited hydroxyl radical production in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. These findings confirm an antioxidant targeting potential of L1 in diseases related to oxidative damage.

Abstract
Xanthophyll carotenoids zeaxanthin and lutein play a special role in the prevention and treatment of visual diseases. These carotenoids are not produced by the human body and must be consumed in the diet. On the other hand, extremely low water solubility of these carotenoids and their instability restrict their practical application as components of food or medicinal formulations. Preparation of supramolecular complexes of zeaxanthin and lutein with glycyrrhizic acid, its disodium salt and the natural polysaccharide arabinogalactan allows one to minimize the aforementioned disadvantages when carotenoids are used in food processing as well as for production of therapeutic formulations with enhanced solubility and stability. In the present study, the formation of supramolecular complexes was investigated by NMR relaxation, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and optical absorption techniques. The complexes increase carotenoid solubility more than 1000-fold. The kinetics of carotenoid decay in reactions with ozone molecules, hydroperoxyl radicals and metal ions were measured in water and organic solutions, and significant increases in oxidation stability of lutein and zeaxanthin in arabinogalactan and glycyrrhizin complexes were detected.

Investigation of the antibacterial effects of silver-modified TiO2 and ZnO plasmonic photocatalysts embedded in polymer thin films.

Abstract
Nanosilver-modified TiO2 and ZnO photocatalysts were studied against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus on the surface and against naturally occurring airborne microorganisms. The photocatalysts/polymer nanohybrid films were prepared by spray coating technique on the surface of glass plates and on the inner surface of the reactive light source. The photoreactive surfaces were activated with visible light emitting LED light at λ = 405 nm. The optical properties of the prepared photocatalyst/polymer nanohybrid films were characterized by diffuse reflectance measurements. The photocatalytic properties were verified with the degradation of ethanol by gas chromatography measurements. The destruction of the bacterial cell wall component was examined with transmission electron microscope. The antibacterial effect of the photocatalyst/polymer nanohybrid films was tested with different methods and with the associated standard ISO 27447:2009. With the photoreactive coatings, an extensive disinfectant film was developed and successfully prepared. The cell wall component of S. aureus was degraded after 1 h of illumination. The antibacterial effect of the nanohybrid films has been proven by measuring the decrease of the number of methicillin-resistant S. aureus on the surface and in the air as the function of illumination time. The photocatalyst/polymer nanohybrid films could inactivate 99.9 % of the investigated bacteria on different thin films after 2 h of illumination with visible light source. The reactive light source with the inner-coated photocatalyst could kill 96 % of naturally occurring airborne microorganisms after 48 h of visible light illumination in indoor air sample. The TEM results and the microbiological measurements were completed with toxicity tests carried out with Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence bacterium.
