Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15177. [PMID: 37894857 PMCID: PMC10607292 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242015177] [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: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
When the skin is overexposed to ultraviolet rays, free radicals will accumulate in the skin, causing lipid damage and even inducing photoaging of the skin. Combination therapy with antioxidant drugs is a good choice for topical treatment of skin photoaging due to its special physiological structure. In this paper, shikonin was encapsulated in β-cyclodextrin (SH-β-CD) by the precipitation crystallization method, which delayed the release of the drug and increased drug solubility. The average diameter of SH-β-CD was 203.0 ± 21.27 nm with a zeta potential of -14.4 ± 0.5 mV. The encapsulation efficiency (EE%) was 65.9 ± 7.13%. The results of the in vitro permeation across the dialysis membrane and ex vivo transdermal release rates were 52.98 ± 1.21% and 88.25 ± 3.26%, respectively. In vitro antioxidant and antilipid peroxidation model assay revealed the antioxidant potential of SH and SH-β-CD. In the mice model of skin photoaging, SH and SH-β-CD had a recovery effect on the skin damage of mice, which could significantly increase the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the skin. Briefly, SH-β-CD had an obvious therapeutic effect on the skin photoaging of mice caused by UV, and it is promising in skin disease treatment and skin care.

Abstract
Sinomenine (SIN), a natural product, has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China for thousands of years. SIN has been developed for the treatment of RA by way of tablets and injections, but both dosage forms have been associated with severe adverse reactions. Making SIN into liposomes-in-hydrogel biomaterials for external use has a good slow-release effect and can play an important role in avoiding the first-pass effect, gastrointestinal reaction, and increasing the local action time of drugs. SIN-loaded liposomes were formed by the thin-film dispersion method, then SIN-loaded liposomes-in-hydrogels were prepared by combining the SIN-L with hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels. In this paper, the basic characteristics, In vitro and Ex vivo release, and antioxidant activity of SIN-loaded liposomes-in-hydrogels were studied. The results showed that SIN-loaded liposomes-in-hydrogels have good sustained-release and antioxidant effects, and the preparation is expected to be a good biomaterial.

Abstract
The lipid peroxidation end product, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), is a secondary mediator of oxidative stress due to its strong ability to form adducts to the side chains of lysine, histidine, and cysteine residues (Cys) at increasing reactivities. This reaction can take place in various cellular environments and may be dependent on solvent. Moreover, approximately 10% of cysteine residues within the cells exist as the negatively charged cysteinate, which may also have a distinct reactivity toward HNE. In this study, quantum chemical calculations are used to investigate the reactivity of HNE toward Cys and cysteinate in three distinct solvent environments to mimic the aqueous, polar, and hydrophobic regions within the cell. Water enhances the reactivity of HNE to cysteine compared to that of the polar and hydrophobic solvents, and the reactivity of HNE is further augmented when Cys is first ionized to cysteinate. This is also confirmed by the transition state rate constant calculations. This study reveals the role of solvent polarity in these reactions and how cysteinate can account for the seemingly high reactivity of HNE toward Cys compared to other amino acid residues and demonstrates how a strong nucleophile can enhance the reactivity of an antioxidant analogue of the Cys residue.

Abstract
The organization of biomolecules and bioassemblies is highly governed by the nature and extent of their interactions with water. These interactions are of high intricacy and a broad range of methods based on various principles have been introduced to characterize them. As these methods view the hydration phenomena differently (e.g., in terms of time and length scales), a detailed insight in each particular technique is to promote the overall understanding of the stunning “hydration world.” In this prospective mini-review we therefore critically examine time-dependent fluorescence shift (TDFS)—an experimental method with a high potential for studying the hydration in the biological systems. We demonstrate that TDFS is very useful especially for phospholipid bilayers for mapping the interfacial region formed by the hydrated lipid headgroups. TDFS, when properly applied, reports on the degree of hydration and mobility of the hydrated phospholipid segments in the close vicinity of the fluorophore embedded in the bilayer. Here, the interpretation of the recorded TDFS parameters are thoroughly discussed, also in the context of the findings obtained by other experimental techniques addressing the hydration phenomena (e.g., molecular dynamics simulations, NMR spectroscopy, scattering techniques, etc.). The differences in the interpretations of TDFS outputs between phospholipid biomembranes and proteins are also addressed. Additionally, prerequisites for the successful TDFS application are presented (i.e., the proper choice of fluorescence dye for TDFS studies, and TDFS instrumentation). Finally, the effects of ions and oxidized phospholipids on the bilayer organization and headgroup packing viewed from TDFS perspective are presented as application examples.

Abstract
We review the use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation as a drug design tool in the context of the role that the lipid membrane can play in drug action, i.e., the interaction between candidate drug molecules and lipid membranes. In the standard "lock and key" paradigm, only the interaction between the drug and a specific active site of a specific protein is considered; the environment in which the drug acts is, from a biophysical perspective, far more complex than this. The possible mechanisms though which a drug can be designed to tinker with physiological processes are significantly broader than merely fitting to a single active site of a single protein. In this paper, we focus on the role of the lipid membrane, arguably the most important element outside the proteins themselves, as a case study. We discuss work that has been carried out, using MD simulation, concerning the transfection of drugs through membranes that act as biological barriers in the path of the drugs, the behavior of drug molecules within membranes, how their collective behavior can affect the structure and properties of the membrane and, finally, the role lipid membranes, to which the vast majority of drug target proteins are associated, can play in mediating the interaction between drug and target protein. This review paper is the second in a two-part series covering MD simulation as a tool in pharmaceutical research; both are designed as pedagogical review papers aimed at both pharmaceutical scientists interested in exploring how the tool of MD simulation can be applied to their research and computational scientists interested in exploring the possibility of a pharmaceutical context for their research.

Abstract
The effects of oxidative stress on cells are associated with a wide range of pathologies. Oxidative stress is predominantly initiated by the action of reactive oxygen species and/or lipoxygenases on polyunsaturated fatty acid containing lipids. The downstream products are oxidised phospholipids, bioactive aldehydes and a range of Schiff base by-products between aldehydes and lipids, or other biomacromolecules. In this review we assess the impact of oxidative stress on lipid membranes, focusing on the changes that occur to the curvature preference (lipid spontaneous curvature) and elastic properties of membranes, since these biophysical properties modulate phospholipid homeostasis. Studies show that the lipid products of oxidative stress reduce stored curvature elastic energy in membranes. Based upon this observation, we hypothesize that the effects of oxidative stress on lipid membranes will be reduced by compounds that increase stored curvature elastic energy. We find a strong correlation appears across literature studies that we have reviewed, such that many compounds like vitamin E, Curcumin, Coenzyme Q10 and vitamin A show behaviour consistent with this hypothesis. Finally, we consider whether age-related changes in lipid composition represent the homeostatic response of cells to compensate for the accumulation of in vivo lipid oxidation products.

Effect of magnesium sulfate in oxidized lipid bilayers properties by using molecular dynamics. Biochem Biophys Rep 2021; 26:100998.

Abstract
Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) has been used as a protector agent for many diseases related to oxidative stress. The effect of MgSO4 on the oxidized lipid bilayer has not yet been studied using molecular dynamics calculations. In this work, the effects of oxidation were evaluated by using a POPC membrane model at different concentrations of its aldehyde (-CHO) and hydroperoxide (-OOH) derivatives with and without MgSO4. Several quantitative and qualitative properties were evaluated, such as membrane thickness, area per lipid, area compressibility modulus, snapshots after simulation finish, density distributions, time evolutions of oxidized group positions, and radial distributions of oxidized group concerning Mg. Results indicate that in the absence of MgSO4 the mobility of oxidized groups, particularly –CHO, toward the surface interface is high. At a low oxidation level of the bilayer there is an increase in the compressibility modulus as compared to the unoxidized bilayer. MgSO4, at a low oxidation level, tends to lessen the oxidation effects by lowering the dispersion in the distribution of oxidized species toward the membrane surface and the water region. However, MgSO4 does not change the trends of decreasing membrane thickness and area compressibility modulus and increasing area per lipid upon oxidation. In this regard, MgSO4 diminishes the electrostatic long-distance attractive interactions between the oxidized groups and the charged headgroups of the interface, owing to the Mg+2 and SO4-2 screening effects and an electrostatic stabilization of the headgroups, preventing the pore formation, which is well-known to occur in oxidized membranes. MgSO4 in vitro restores oxidized membranes but its molecular mechanism is unclear. MD simulations of oxidized lipid bilayers were performed with and without of MgSO4. A restriction in the mobility of oxidized groups is produced by MgSO4. Mg+2 and SO4= produce screening effects on the oxidized membranes. MgSO4 produce a diminution of electrostatic long-distance attractive interactions.

Neuroprotective Effects of Withania somnifera on 4-Hydroxynonenal Induced Cell Death in Human Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y Cells Through ROS Inhibition and Apoptotic Mitochondrial Pathway.

Abstract
The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities of Withania somnifera (WS) are known for a long time. This study was aimed to examine whether WS also diminishes 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE)-induced neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cell line. The cytotoxic response of HNE (0.1-50 μM) and WS (6.25-200 μg/ml) was measured by MTT assay after exposing SH-SY5Y cells for 24 h. Then neuroprotective potential was assessed by exposing the cells to biologically safe concentrations of WS (12.5, 25, and 50 μg/ml) then HNE (50 μM). Results showed a concentration-dependent protective effect of WS at 12.5, 25, and 50 μg/ml against HNE (50 μM) induced cytotoxicity and cell inhibition. Pre-exposure to WS resulted in a strong inhibition of 24, 55 and 83% in malondialdehyde (MDA) level; 5, 27 and 60% in glutathione (GSH) level; 12, 36 and 68% in catalase activity; 11, 33 and 67% in LDH leakage; and 40, 80 and 120% in cellular LDH activity at 12.5, 25, and 50 μg/ml, respectively, induced by 50 μM HNE in SH-SY5Y cells. The HNE-mediated cellular changes (cell shrinkage, rounded bodies, and inhibition of outgrowth) and increased caspase-3 activity were also prevented by WS. The HNE-induced upregulation of proapoptotic markers (p53, caspase-3, and -9, and Bax) and downregulation of antiapoptotic marker Bcl-2 genes were also blocked by pretreatment with WS. Altogether, our findings indicate that WS possesses a protective potential against HNE-induced neurotoxicity.

Vibrational spectroscopy combined with molecular dynamics simulations as a tool for studying behavior of reactive aldehydes inserted in phospholipid bilayers. Chem Phys Lipids 2019; 225:104793.

Abstract
Vibrational Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy aided with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is used for studying the interaction of several reactive aldehydes (RAs), nonanal (NA), 2-nonenal (NE), 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and 4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE), with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) bilayer. The results obtained by the combination of these two techniques, supported also by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, show that NA has the strongest stabilization in the bilayer, followed by less stabilized NE, HNE and ONE. We also revealed that HNE readily makes hydrogen bonds to carbonyl groups of POPC (but not to phosphate groups), in contrast to other RAs which are hydrogen bond acceptors and do not make hydrogen bonds with lipids. A combination of FTIR spectroscopy and MD simulations is sensitive to small chemical changes in the structures of RAs, thus making it a valuable tool for studying the weak interactions between compounds inserted to phospholipid bilayers.

Abstract
The concept of cell signaling in the context of nonenzyme-assisted protein modifications by reactive electrophilic and oxidative species, broadly known as redox signaling, is a uniquely complex topic that has been approached from numerous different and multidisciplinary angles. Our Review reflects on five aspects critical for understanding how nature harnesses these noncanonical post-translational modifications to coordinate distinct cellular activities: (1) specific players and their generation, (2) physicochemical properties, (3) mechanisms of action, (4) methods of interrogation, and (5) functional roles in health and disease. Emphasis is primarily placed on the latest progress in the field, but several aspects of classical work likely forgotten/lost are also recollected. For researchers with interests in getting into the field, our Review is anticipated to function as a primer. For the expert, we aim to stimulate thought and discussion about fundamentals of redox signaling mechanisms and nuances of specificity/selectivity and timing in this sophisticated yet fascinating arena at the crossroads of chemistry and biology.

Abstract
Diatoms rapidly release extracellular oxylipins (oxygenated lipids) including polyunsaturated aldehydes in response to herbivory and other stresses. Oxylipins have several defense-related activities including inhibition of reproduction in herbivores and signaling to distant diatoms. Physiological changes in diatoms exposed to varying levels of oxylipins are only beginning to be understood. In this study, Phaeodactylum tricornutum cultures were treated with sublethal concentrations of the polyunsaturated aldehyde trans,trans-2,4-decadienal (DD) to assess effects on lipid composition and membrane permeability. In cells treated with DD for 3 hr, all measured saturated and unsaturated fatty acids significantly decreased (0.46–0.69 fold of levels in solvent control cells) except for 18:2 (decreased but not significantly). The decrease was greater in the polyunsaturated fatty acid pool than the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid pool. Analysis of lipid classes revealed increased abundances of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine at 3 and 6 hr. Concomitantly, these and other membrane lipids exhibited increased saturated and monounsaturated acyl chains content relative to polyunsaturated acyl chains compared to control cells. Evidence of decreased plasma membrane permeability in DD treated cells was obtained, based on reduced uptake of two of three dyes relative to control cells. Additionally, cells pre-conditioned with a sublethal DD dose for 3 hr then treated with a lethal DD dose for 2 hr exhibited greater membrane integrity than solvent pre-conditioned control cells that were similarly treated. Taken together, the data are supportive of the hypothesis that membrane remodeling induced by sublethal DD is a key element in the development of cellular resistance in diatoms to varying and potentially toxic levels of polyunsaturated aldehydes in environments impacted by herbivory or other stresses.

Abstract
Objective Obesity-associated impaired fat accumulation in the visceral adipose tissue can lead to ectopic fat deposition and increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study investigated whether impaired adipogenesis of omental (OM) adipose tissues and elevated 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) accumulation contribute to this process, and if combined metformin and insulin treatment in T2DM patients could rescue this phenotype. Methods OM adipose tissues were obtained from forty clinically well characterized obese individuals during weight reduction surgery. Levels of 4-HNE protein adducts, adipocyte size and number of macrophages were determined within these tissues by immunohistochemistry. Adipogenic capacity and gene expression profiles were assessed in preadipocytes derived from these tissues in relation to insulin resistance and in response to 4-HNE, metformin or combined metformin and insulin treatment. Results Preadipocytes isolated from insulin resistant (IR) and T2DM individuals exhibited lower adipogenesis, marked by upregulation of anti-adipogenic genes, compared to preadipocytes derived from insulin sensitive (IS) individuals. Impaired adipogenesis was also associated with increased 4-HNE levels, smaller adipocytes and greater macrophage presence in the adipose tissues. Within the T2DM group, preadipocytes from combined metformin and insulin treated subset showed better in vitro adipogenesis compared to metformin alone, which was associated with less presence of macrophages and 4-HNE in the adipose tissues. Treatment of preadipocytes in vitro with 4-HNE reduced their adipogenesis and increased proliferation, even in the presence of metformin, which was partially rescued by the presence of insulin. Conclusion This study reveals involvement of 4-HNE in the impaired OM adipogenesis-associated with insulin resistance and T2DM and provides a proof of concept that this impairment can be reversed by the synergistic action of insulin and metformin. Further studies are needed to evaluate involvement of 4-HNE in metabolically impaired abdominal adipogenesis and to confirm benefits of combined metformin-insulin therapy in T2DM patients.

Abstract
4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and 4-oxo-2-nonenal (ONE) are biologically important reactive aldehydes formed during oxidative stress in phospholipid bilayers. They are highly reactive species due to presence of several reaction centers and can react with amino acids in peptides and proteins, as well as phosphoethanolamine (PE) lipids, thus modifying their biological activity. The aim of this work is to study in a molecular detail the reactivity of HNE and ONE toward PE lipids in a simplified system containing only lipids and reactive aldehydes in dichloromethane as an inert solvent. We use a combination of quantum chemical calculations, 1H NMR measurements, FT-IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry experiments and show that for both reactive aldehydes two types of chemical reactions are possible: formation of Michael adducts and Schiff bases. In the case of HNE, an initially formed Michael adduct can also undergo an additional cyclization step to a hemiacetal derivative, whereas no cyclization occurs in the case of ONE and a Michael adduct is identified. A Schiff base product initially formed when HNE is added to PE lipid can also further cyclize to a pyrrole derivative in contrast to ONE, where only a Schiff base product is isolated. The suggested reaction mechanism by quantum-chemical calculations is in a qualitative agreement with experimental yields of isolated products and is also additionally investigated by 1H NMR measurements, FT-IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry experiments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Increased adipose production of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), a bioreactive aldehyde, directly correlates with obesity and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of 4-HNE in mediating adipocyte differentiation and function in two metabolically distinct obese groups; the insulin sensitive (IS) and the insulin resistant (IR). METHODS Subcutaneous (SC) adipose tissues were obtained from eighteen clinically well characterized obese premenopausal women undergoing weight reduction surgery. Cellular distribution of 4-HNE in the form of protein adducts was determined by immunohistochemistry in addition to its effect on oxidative stress, cell growth, adipogenic capacity and insulin signaling in preadipocytes derived from the IS and IR participants. RESULTS 4-HNE was detected in the SC adipose tissue in different cell types with the highest level detected in adipocytes and blood vessels. Short and long-term in vitro treatment of SC preadipocytes with 4-HNE caused inhibition of their growth and increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant enzymes. Repeated 4-HNE treatment led to a greater reduction in the adipogenic capacity of preadipocytes from IS subjects compared to IR and caused dephosphorylation of IRS-1 and p70S6K while activating GSK3α/β and BAD, triggering an IR phenotype. CONCLUSION These data suggest that 4-HNE-induced oxidative stress plays a role in the regulation of preadipocyte growth, differentiation and insulin signaling and may therefore contribute to adipose tissue metabolic dysfunction associated with insulin resistance.

Abstract
In an ischemic environment, brain tissue responds to oxygen deprivation with the initiation of rapid changes in bioenergetic metabolism to ensure ion and metabolic homeostasis. At the same time, the accelerated cleavage of membrane phospholipids changes membrane composition and increases free fatty acid concentration. Phospholipid breakdown also generates specific messengers that participate in signaling cascades that can either promote neuronal protection or cause injury. The net impact of signaling events affects the final outcome of the stroke. While reoxygenation is a life-saving intervention, it can exacerbate brain damage. Although compromised energy metabolism is restored shortly after reperfusion, alterations in membrane phospholipid composition with subsequent accumulation of lipid oxoderivates are neurotoxic, causing oxidative stress and ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Thus, plasma and mitochondrial membranes are the first responders as well as mediators of IR-induced stress signals. In this review, we focus on ischemia-induced changes in brain energy metabolism and membrane functions as the causal agents of cell stress responses upon reoxygenation. The first part of the review deals with the specificities of neuronal bioenergetics during IR and their impact on metabolic processes. The second part is concentrated on involvement of both plasma and mitochondrial membranes in the production of messengers which can modulate neuroprotective pathways or participate in oxidative/electrophilic stress responses. Although the etiology of IR injury is multifactorial, deciphering the role of membrane and membrane-associated processes in brain damage will uncover new therapeutic agents with the ability to stabilize neuronal membranes and modulate their responses in favor of prosurvival pathways.

Abstract
Nutrient sensing mechanisms of carbohydrates, amino acids and lipids operate distinct pathways that are essential for the adaptation to varying metabolic conditions. The role of nutrient-induced biosynthesis of hormones is paramount for attaining metabolic homeostasis in the organism. Nutrient overload attenuate key metabolic cellular functions and interfere with hormonal-regulated inter- and intra-organ communication, which may ultimately lead to metabolic derangements. Hyperglycemia and high levels of saturated free fatty acids induce excessive production of oxygen free radicals in tissues and cells. This phenomenon, which is accentuated in both type-1 and type-2 diabetic patients, has been associated with the development of impaired glucose tolerance and the etiology of peripheral complications. However, low levels of the same free radicals also induce hormetic responses that protect cells against deleterious effects of the same radicals. Of interest is the role of hydroxyl radicals in initiating peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and generation of α,β-unsaturated reactive 4-hydroxyalkenals that avidly form covalent adducts with nucleophilic moieties in proteins, phospholipids and nucleic acids. Numerous studies have linked the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2E-nonenal (4-HNE) to different pathological and cytotoxic processes. Similarly, two other members of the family, 4-hydroxyl-2E-hexenal (4-HHE) and 4-hydroxy-2E,6Z-dodecadienal (4-HDDE), have also been identified as potential cytotoxic agents. It has been suggested that 4-HNE-induced modifications in macromolecules in cells may alter their cellular functions and modify signaling properties. Yet, it has also been acknowledged that these bioactive aldehydes also function as signaling molecules that directly modify cell functions in a hormetic fashion to enable cells adapt to various stressful stimuli. Recent studies have shown that 4-HNE and 4-HDDE, which activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) in vascular endothelial cells and insulin secreting beta cells, promote such adaptive responses to ameliorate detrimental effects of high glucose and diabetes-like conditions. In addition, due to the electrophilic nature of these reactive aldehydes they form covalent adducts with electronegative moieties in proteins, phosphatidylethanolamine and nucleotides. Normally these non-enzymatic modifications are maintained below the cytotoxic range due to efficient cellular neutralization processes of 4-hydroxyalkenals. The major neutralizing enzymes include fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH), aldose reductase (AR) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which transform the aldehyde to the corresponding carboxylic acid or alcohols, respectively, or by biding to the thiol group in glutathione (GSH) by the action of glutathione-S-transferase (GST). This review describes the hormetic and cytotoxic roles of oxygen free radicals and 4-hydroxyalkenals in beta cells exposed to nutritional challenges and the cellular mechanisms they employ to maintain their level at functional range below the cytotoxic threshold.

Abstract
Membrane transporters are involved in enormous number of physiological and pathological processes. Under oxidative stress they become targets for reactive oxygen species and its derivatives which cause protein damage and/or influence protein function(s). The molecular mechanisms of this interaction are poorly understood. Here we describe a novel lipid-mediated mechanism by which biologically important reactive aldehydes (RAs; 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal and 4-oxo-2-nonenal) modify the activity of several membrane transporters. We revealed that investigated RAs covalently modify the membrane lipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), that lead to the formation of different membrane active adducts. Molecular dynamic simulations suggested that anchoring of PE-RA adducts in the lipid headgroup region is primarily responsible for changes in the lipid membrane properties, such as membrane order parameter, boundary potential and membrane curvature. These caused the alteration of transport activity of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1, potassium carrier valinomycin and ionophore CCCP. In contrast, neither direct protein modification by RAs as previously shown for cytosolic proteins, nor its insertion into membrane bilayers influenced the studied transporters. Our results explain the diversity of aldehyde action on cell proteins and open a new field in the investigation of lipid-mediated effects of biologically important RAs on membrane receptors, channels and transporters.

Abstract
Metastable aldehydes produced by lipid peroxidation act as 'toxic second messengers' that extend the injurious potential of free radicals. 4-hydroxy 2-nonenal (HNE), a highly toxic and most abundant stable end product of lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in the tissue damage, dysfunction, injury associated with aging and other pathological states such as cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, cardiovascular and inflammatory complications. Further, HNE has been considered as a oxidative stress marker and it act as a secondary signaling molecule to regulates a number of cell signaling pathways. Biological activity of HNE depends on its intracellular concentration, which can differentially modulate cell death, growth and differentiation. Therefore, the mechanisms responsible for maintaining the intracellular levels of HNE are most important, not only in the defense against oxidative stress but also in the pathophysiology of a number of disease processes. In this review, we discussed the significance of HNE in mediating various disease processes and how regulation of its metabolism could be therapeutically effective.

Abstract
Since computing resources have advanced enough to allow routine molecular simulation studies of drug molecules interacting with biologically relevant membranes, a considerable amount of work has been carried out with fluid phospholipid systems. However, there is very little work in the literature on drug interactions with gel phase lipids. This poses a significant limitation for understanding permeation through the stratum corneum where the primary pathway is expected to be through a highly ordered lipid matrix. To address this point, we analyzed the interactions of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and its ethyl (benzocaine) and butyl (butamben) esters with two membrane bilayers, which differ in their fluidity at ambient conditions. We considered a dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayer in a fluid state and a ceramide 2 (CER2, ceramide NS) bilayer in a gel phase. We carried out unbiased (100 ns long) and biased z-constraint molecular dynamics simulations and calculated the free energy profiles of all molecules along the bilayer normal. The free energy profiles converged significantly slower for the gel phase. While the compounds have comparable affinities for both membranes, they exhibit penetration barriers almost 3 times higher in the gel phase CER2 bilayer. This elevated barrier and slower diffusion in the CER2 bilayer, which are caused by the high ordering of CER2 lipid chains, explain the low permeability of the gel phase membranes. We also compared the free energy profiles from MD simulations with those obtained from COSMOmic. This method provided the same trends in behavior for the guest molecules in both bilayers; however, the penetration barriers calculated by COSMOmic did not differ between membranes. In conclusion, we show how membrane fluid properties affect the interaction of drug-like molecules with membranes.

Abstract
We claim that (1) cholesterol protects bilayers from disruption caused by lipid oxidation by sequestering conical shaped oxidized lipid species such as 1-palmitoyl-2-azelaoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PZPC) away from phospholipid, because cholesterol and the oxidized lipid have complementary shapes and (2) mixtures of cholesterol and oxidized lipids can self-assemble into bilayers much like lysolipid–cholesterol mixtures. The evidence for bilayer protection comes from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. Unimodal size distributions of extruded vesicles (LUVETs) made up of a mixture of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) and PZPC containing high amounts of PZPC are only obtained when cholesterol is present in high concentrations. In simulations, bilayers containing high amounts of PZPC become porous, unless cholesterol is also present. The protective effect of cholesterol on oxidized lipids has been observed previously using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron microscopy imaging of vesicles. The evidence for the pairing of cholesterol and PZPC comes mainly from correlated 2-D density and thickness plots from simulations, which show that these two molecules co-localize in bilayers. Further evidence that the two molecules can cohabitate comes from self-assembly simulations, where we show that cholesterol-oxidized lipid mixtures can form lamellar phases at specific concentrations, reminiscent of lysolipid–cholesterol mixtures. The additivity of the packing parameters of cholesterol and PZPC explains their cohabitation in a planar bilayer. Oxidized lipids are ubiquitously present in significant amounts in high- and low-density lipoprotein (HDL and LDL) particles, diseased tissues, and in model phospholipid mixtures containing polyunsaturated lipids. Therefore, our hypothesis has important consequences for cellular cholesterol trafficking; diseases related to oxidized lipids, and to biophysical studies of phase behaviour of cholesterol-containing phospholipid mixtures.

Abstract
Peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids is intensified in cells subjected to oxidative stress and results in the generation of various bioactive compounds, of which 4-hydroxyalkenals are prominent. During the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus, the ensuing hyperglycemia promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that contribute to the development of diabetic complications. It has been suggested that ROS-induced lipid peroxidation and the resulting 4-hydroxyalkenals markedly contribute to the development and progression of these pathologies. Recent findings, however, also suggest that noncytotoxic levels of 4-hydroxyalkenals play important signaling functions in the early phase of diabetes and act as hormetic factors to induce adaptive and protective responses in cells, enabling them to function in the hyperglycemic milieu. Our studies and others' have proposed such regulatory functions for 4-hydroxynonenal and 4-hydroxydodecadienal in insulin secreting β-cells and vascular endothelial cells, respectively. This review presents and discusses the mechanisms regulating the generation of 4-hydroxyalkenals under high glucose conditions and the molecular interactions underlying the reciprocal transition from hormetic to cytotoxic agents.

Abstract
Elevated levels of pro-oxidants and various markers of oxidative tissue damage were found in diabetic patients, indicating involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM). On one side, physiological levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in redox signaling of various cells, while on the other, excessive ROS production can jeopardize the integrity and physiological functions of cellular macromolecules, in particular proteins, thus contributing to the pathogenesis of DM. Reactive aldehydes, especially 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), are considered as second messengers of free radicals that act both as signaling molecules and as cytotoxic products of lipid peroxidation causing long-lasting biological consequences, in particular by covalent modification of macromolecules. Accordingly, the HNE and related reactive aldehydes may play important roles in the pathophysiology of DM, both in the development of the disease and in its progression and complications due to the following: (i) exposure of cells to supraphysiological levels of 4-hydroxyalkenals, (ii) persistent and sustained generation of 4-hydroxyalkenals that progressively affect vulnerable cells that lack an efficient bioactive aldehyde neutralization system, (iii) altered redox signaling influenced by reactive aldehydes, in particular by HNE, and (iv) induction of extracellular generation of similar aldehydes under secondary pathological conditions, such as low-grade inflammation.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is a degenerative oxidative process that modifies the structure of membranes, influencing their biological functions. Lignans, natural polyphenolic antioxidants widely distributed in plants, can prevent this membrane damage by free-radical scavenging. Here, we rationalize the difference in lipid peroxidation inhibition activity of argenteane, a natural dilignan isolated from wild nutmeg, and 3,3'-dimethoxy-1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diol, which represents the central part of argenteane responsible for its antioxidant activity. Although both compounds have the same capacity to scavenge free radicals, argenteane is a more active inhibitor of lipid peroxidation. We show that both compounds penetrate into DOPC and PLPC lipid bilayers and adopt similar positions and orientations, which therefore does not explain the difference in their lipid peroxidation inhibition activity. However, free energy profiles indicate that argenteane has a significantly higher affinity to the lipid bilayer, and thus a higher effective concentration to scavenge radicals formed during lipid peroxidation. This finding explains the higher activity of argenteane to inhibit lipid peroxidation.
