Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most challenging malignant brain tumors to treat. Herein, we describe a nanoenzyme hemostatic matrix strategy with the tumor cavity in situ application that simultaneously serves as photothermal agent and induces immunogenic cell death after GBM surgical resection to enhance the antitumor immunity and delay tumor recurrence. The hemostatic matrix system (Surgiflo@PCN) contains Surgiflo, a multispace structure that can be used to penetrate different shapes of tumor cavities to prevent postoperative tumor cavity hemorrhage. As well, porous palladium-copper nanoclusters (PCNs) have adjustable enzyme-like activities (oxidase, peroxidase, and catalase) responsible for formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under near-infrared (808 nm) laser irradiation. When the Surgiflo@PCN entered the resected tumor cavity, the first action was the direct killing of glioma cells via ROS and photothermal therapy (PTT). The second action was the induction of immunogenic cell death by PCN-enhanced oxidative stress and PTT, which reversed the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and enhanced the antitumor immune response. This eradicated residual glioma cells and prevented recurrence. The collective findings demonstrate that Surgiflo@PCN kills glioma cells directly through ROS and PTT and enhances antiglioma immunity and kills glioma cells indirectly. The "one-stone, two-birds" strategy could become an effective photothermal immunotherapy in GBM patients.

Theoretical and experimental studies on mechanochromic triphenylamine based fluorescent "ON-OFF-ON" sensor for sequential detection of Fe 3+ and deferasirox. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 297:122745.

Abstract
A novel triphenylamine (TPA) based sensor TTU was rationally designed and synthesized that exhibited reversible mechanochromic and aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties. The AIEE active sensor was employed for fluorometric detection of Fe3+ in aqueous medium, with distinguished selectivity. The sensor showed a highly selective quenching response towards Fe3+ that is ascribed to complex formation with paramagnetic Fe3+. Subsequently, TTU-Fe3+ complex acted as a fluorescence sensor for the detection of deferasirox (DFX). The subsequent addition of DFX to TTU-Fe3+ complex led to the recovery of fluorescence emission intensity of sensor TTU that was attributed to the displacement of Fe3+ by DFX and release of sensor TTU. The proposed sensing mechanisms for Fe3+ and DFX was confirmed through 1H NMR titration experiment and DFT calculations. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), density of states (DOS), natural bond orbital (NBO), non-covalent interaction (NCI) and electron density difference (EDD) analysis were performed using DFT calculations to support the experimental results. Moreover, sensor TTU displayed colorimetric detection of Fe3+. Further, the sensor was employed for the detection of Fe3+ and DFX in real water samples. Finally, logic gate was fabricated by using sequential detection strategy.

Environ Health Prev Med 2023; 28:78.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate diurnal variations in copper-induced hepatic toxicity and the molecular mechanisms underlying this chronotoxicity. METHODS Male C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with copper chloride (CuCl2) at zeitgeber time 2 (ZT2) or 14 (ZT14), twice per week for 5 or 8 weeks. Seventy-two hours after the final CuCl2 injection, the mice were euthanized, and plasma samples were collected. The livers and kidneys were collected and weighed. In vitro experiments were performed to assess cell viability and fluctuations in clock gene expression levels in Hepa1-6 cells after CuCl2 treatment. We examined copper homeostasis- and apoptosis-related genes under clock genes overexpression. RESULTS Repeated CuCl2 administration for 8 weeks resulted in more severe toxicity at ZT14 compared to ZT2. CuCl2 administration at ZT14 elevated plasma aspartate aminotransferase, hepatic tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 for 5 weeks, whereas the toxic effects of CuCl2 administration at ZT2 were weaker. Moreover, CuCl2 treatment inhibited Hepa1-6 cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. We observed increased expression of three clock genes (Ciart, Cry2, and Per1) after CuCl2 treatment. Among them, overexpression of Cry2 and Per1 accelerated CuCl2-induced inhibition of Hepa1-6 cell viability. Moreover, we found that the overexpression of Cry2 and Per1 regulates cleaved caspase-3 by modulating the copper transporter genes ATP7B and CTR1. CONCLUSION These results suggest that CuCl2-induced diurnal toxicity is associated with Cry2 and Per1 expression through the regulation of copper transporter genes in mice.

Abstract
Iron [Fe(II)] and copper [Cu(II)] overloads in rat brain are associated with oxidative stress and damage. The purpose of this research is to study whether brain antioxidant enzymes are involved in the control of intracellular redox homeostasis in the brain of rats male Sprague-Dawley rats (80-90 g) that received drinking water supplemented with either 1.0 g/L of ferrous chloride (n = 24) or 0.5 g/L cupric sulfate (n = 24) for 42 days. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione transferase (GT) activities in brain were determined by spectrophotometric methods and NO production by the content of nitrite concentration in the organ. Chronic treatment with Fe(II) and Cu(II) led to a significant decrease of nitrite content and SOD activity in brain. Activity of NADPH oxidase increased with Cu(II) treatment. Concerning Fe(II), catalase and GT activities increased in brain after 28 and 4 days of treatment, respectively. In the case of Cu(II), catalase activity decreased whereas GT activity increased after 2 and 14 days, respectively. The regulation of redox homeostasis in brain involves changes of the activity of these enzymes to control the steady state of oxidant species related to redox signaling pathways upon Cu and Fe overload. NO may serve to detoxify cells from superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide with the concomitant formation of peroxynitrite. However, the latest is a powerful oxidant which leads to oxidative modifications of biomolecules. These results suggest a common pathway to oxidative stress and damage in brain for Cu(II) and Fe(II).

Abstract
The cerebral hypoxia-ischemia can induce a wide spectrum of biologic responses that include depolarization, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, and result in neurodegeneration. Several adaptive and survival endogenous mechanisms can also be activated giving an opportunity for the affected cells to remain alive, waiting for helper signals that avoid apoptosis. These signals appear to help cells, depending on intensity, chronicity, and proximity to the central hypoxic area of the affected tissue. These mechanisms are present not only in a large list of brain pathologies affecting commonly older individuals, but also in other pathologies such as refractory epilepsies, encephalopathies, or brain trauma, where neurodegenerative features such as cognitive and/or motor deficits sequelae can be developed. The hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is a master transcription factor driving a wide spectrum cellular response. HIF-1α may induce erythropoietin (EPO) receptor overexpression, which provides the therapeutic opportunity to administer pharmacological doses of EPO to rescue and/or repair affected brain tissue. Intranasal administration of EPO combined with other antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds could become an effective therapeutic alternative, to avoid and/or slow down neurodegenerative deterioration without producing adverse peripheral effects.

Abstract
Neurons are post-mitotic cells in the brain and their integrity is of central importance to avoid neurodegeneration. Yet, the inability of self-replenishment of post-mitotic cells results in the need to withstand challenges from numerous stressors during life. Neurons are exposed to oxidative stress due to high oxygen consumption during metabolic activity in the brain. Accordingly, DNA damage can occur and accumulate, resulting in genome instability. In this context, imbalances in brain trace element homeostasis are a matter of concern, especially regarding iron, copper, manganese, zinc, and selenium. Although trace elements are essential for brain physiology, excess and deficient conditions are considered to impair neuronal maintenance. Besides increasing oxidative stress, DNA damage response and repair of oxidative DNA damage are affected by trace elements. Hence, a balanced trace element homeostasis is of particular importance to safeguard neuronal genome integrity and prevent neuronal loss. This review summarises the current state of knowledge on the impact of deficient, as well as excessive iron, copper, manganese, zinc, and selenium levels on neuronal genome stability. Post-mitotic neurons show an increased vulnerability to oxidative stress. Trace element dyshomeostasis impairs neuronal genome maintenance, affecting DNA damage response as well as DNA repair. The review summarises the effects of excessive and deficient trace element levels neuronal genome stability maintenance.

Abstract
Chronic copper exposure impaired spermatogenesis in adult male mice. The aim of this study was to determine whether chronic copper exposure can induce apoptosis of testicular cell and hypospermatogenesis via disturbing testosterone synthesis in adult male mice. In the present study, sixty CD-1 male mice were randomly divided into four groups, and were continuously administered for 8 weeks by oral gavage with copper sulfate at a dose of 0, 25, 100, and 150 mg/kg/day, respectively. We determined the content of serum and testicular copper, testicular coefficient, testicular histopathology, sperm count and motility, the mRNA and protein levels of Caspase-3, Bax, and Bcl-2, Leydig cell count, testosterone content, testosterone synthetase, and testosterone synthesis-related genes. The results showed that the copper levels in serum increased in a dose-dependent manner, and the copper levels in testes were significantly related to serum copper levels. Male mice given copper sulfate 100 and 150 dosage groups showed significant decreased in sperm motility and sperm number as well as increased in testes damage, and there was no significant change in testicular coefficient in the four groups. The mRNA levels of Bcl-2 decreased and Caspase-3 increased in 150 dosage group, and Bax increased in two higher dosage groups. Meanwhile, Caspase-3 and Bax proteins increased in 150 dosage group, and Bcl-2 protein decreased in three copper treatment groups. Nevertheless, there were no differences on the levels of testosterone content and testosterone synthetase of 3β-HSD, 17β-HSD, 17α-Hyd, and 20α-Hyd, mRNA levels of Cyp11a1, Cyp17a1, and Star, and quantity of Leydig cells in four groups. Overall, these data showed that chronic copper exposure led to copper residues in the testes, and the doses of 100 and 150 mg/kg/day copper sulfate may induce hypospermatogenesis by increasing apoptosis without affecting testosterone secretion.

Abstract
The pattern of copper (Cu) toxicity in humans is similar to Wilson disease, and they have movement disorders and frequent involvement of corpus striatum. The extent of cell deaths in corpus striatum may be the basis of movement disorder and may be confirmed in the experimental study. To evaluate the extent of apoptosis and glial activation in corpus striatum following Cu toxicity in a rat model, and correlate these with spontaneous locomotor activity (SLA), six male Wistar rats were fed normal saline (group I) and another six were fed copper sulfate 100 mg/kgBWt/daily orally (group II). At 1 month, neurobehavioral studies including SLA, rotarod, and grip strength were done. Corpus striatum was removed and was subjected to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and caspase-3 immunohistochemistry. The concentration of tissue Cu, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutamate were measured. Group II rats had higher expression of caspase-3 (Mean ± SEM 32.67 ± 1.46 vs 4.47 ± 1.08; p < 0.01) and GFAP (41.81 ± 1.68 vs 31.82 ± 1.27; p < 0.01) compared with group I. Neurobehavioral studies revealed reduced total distance traveled, time moving, the number of rearing, latency to fall on the rotarod, grip strength, and increased resting time compared with group I. The expression of GFAP and caspase-3 correlated with SLA parameters, tissue Cu, GSH, MDA, TAC, and glutamate levels. The impaired locomotor activity in Cu toxicity rats is due to apoptotic and inflammatory-mediated cell death in the corpus striatum because of Cu-mediated oxidative stress and excitotoxicity.

Abstract
Background The consequences of excess copper in human tissue are the alterations in the oxidative stress markers and peroxidative damage of membrane lipids. Unselective copper binding may be the clue to damaging impact to protein construction and hence modifying their biological functions. The aim of this study is to match the hepatoprotective efficacy of curcumin (CM) or nanocurcumin (NCM) with that of desferrioxamine (DSF; standard heavy metal chelator) against toxic doses of copper sulphate (CuSO4). Method All treatments were given simultaneously with CuSO4 for 7 days. Result CuSO4 administration elevated serum alanine transaminase, and hepatic nitric oxide (NO), lipid peroxide, and caspase-3 as well as protein expression of cytochrome P4502E1, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and Bax gene expressions. On the other hand, hepatic levels of reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and interleukin-10 were decreased, whereas DNA degradation was increased as well compared with the control group. The administration of the aforementioned antioxidants ameliorated all the previous altered measured parameters. Interestingly, NCM achieved the most pronounced hepatoprotective effect nearly equivalent to that of DSF. Conclusion It was concluded that NCM is considered a promising candidate against CuSO4 toxicity, and cytochrome P450, NF-κB, and Bax are involved in its toxicity and treatment.

Abstract
Two novel acridine-based fluorescence chemosensors (L1 and L2) were prepared and their metal ions sensing properties were investigated. L1 (L2) exhibited an excellent selective fluorescence response toward Fe3+ (Ni2+) and the stoichiometry ratio of L1-Fe3+ and L2-Ni2+ were 1:1. The detection limits of L1 and L2 were calculated by the fluorescence titration to be 4.13μM and 1.52μM, respectively, which were below the maximum permissive level of Fe3+ and Ni2+ ions in drinking water set by the EPA. The possible mechanism of the fluorescence detection of Fe3+ and Ni2+ had been proposed according to the analysis of Job's plot, IR spectra and ESI-MS. The determination of Fe3+ and Ni2+ ions in living cells had been applied successfully.

Abstract
The prototype disease of Cu toxicity in human is Wilson disease, and cognitive impairment is the presenting symptom of it. There is no study correlating Cu-induced excitotoxicity, apoptosis, and astrocytic reaction with memory dysfunction. We report excitotoxicity, apoptosis, and astrocytic reaction of the hippocampus and frontal cortex with memory dysfunction in rat model of Cu toxicity. Thirty-six rats were divided into group I (control) and group II (100 mg/kgBwt/day CuSO4 orally). Y-maze was performed for memory and learning at 0, 30, 60, and 90 days. Frontal and hippocampal free Cu concentration, oxidative stress markers [glutathione (GSH), total antioxidant toxicity (TAC), and malondialdehyde (MDA)], and glutamate were measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy, spectrophotometry, and ELISA, respectively. N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) NR1, NR2A, and NR2B were done by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemistry for caspase-3 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were done and quantified using the ImageJ software. The glutamate level in hippocampus was increased, and NMDAR expression was decreased at 30, 60, and 90 days in group II compared to group I. In the frontal cortex, glutamate was increased at 90 days, but NMDARs were not significantly different in group II compared to group I. Caspase-3 and GFAP expressions were also higher in group II compared to group I, and these changes were more marked in hippocampus than frontal cortex. These changes correlated with respective free tissue Cu, oxidative stress, and Y-maze attention score. Cu toxicity induces apoptosis and astrocytosis of the hippocampus and frontal cortex through direct or glutamate and oxidative stress pathways, and results in impaired memory and learning.

Abstract
Environmental profiles for the selected metals were compiled on the basis of available data on their biological activities. Analysis of the profiles suggests that the concept of toxic heavy metals and safe nontoxic alternatives based on lighter metals should be re-evaluated. Comparison of the toxicological data indicates that palladium, platinum, and gold compounds, often considered heavy and toxic, may in fact be not so dangerous, whereas complexes of nickel and copper, typically assumed to be green and sustainable alternatives, may possess significant toxicities, which is also greatly affected by the solubility in water and biological fluids. It appears that the development of new catalysts and novel applications should not rely on the existing assumptions concerning toxicity/nontoxicity. Overall, the available experimental data seem insufficient for accurate evaluation of biological activity of these metals and its modulation by the ligands. Without dedicated experimental measurements for particular metal/ligand frameworks, toxicity should not be used as a "selling point" when describing new catalysts.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) at a higher level becomes toxic and it can catalyze the formation of highly reactive hydroxyl radical. We report the vulnerability of liver, kidney and brain to different dose of copper sulfate (CuSO4) induced oxidative stress at different time duration. Fifty-four male Wistar rats (weight range=205±10g) were equally divided into three groups. CuSO4 was administered orally to the experimental groups (Group-II and III) up to 90 days in a dose of 100 and 200mg/Kg body weight per day. Saline water was given to the control group (Group-I). At the end of 30, 60 and 90 days of administration, neurobehavioral studies were done and six rats from each group were sacrificed. Their liver, kidney and brain tissues were subjected for Cu, glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assay. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, bilirubin and transaminases were measured. GSH, TAC and MDA levels were correlated with the markers of respective organ dysfunction. Administration of CuSO4 resulted in increased free Cu and MDA level, and decrease GSH and TAC levels in group-II and III compared with group-I. In experimental groups, the reduction in TAC and GSH levels was maximum in liver tissue followed by brain and kidney; whereas increase in MDA level was highest in liver followed by brain and kidney at 30, 60 and 90 days. TAC and GSH levels in the liver inversely correlated with serum transaminases and bilirubin, and tissue free Cu, and positively correlated with MDA levels. Free Cu level in kidney tissue and BUN inversely correlated with TAC and GSH, and positively with MDA level. Grip-strength, rotarod and Y-maze findings were inversely correlated with brain free Cu and MDA levels and positively with GSH and TAC levels. The oxidative stress was highest in liver followed by brain and kidney after oral CuSO4 exposure in a rat model. These levels correlated with the respective organ dysfunction and tissue free Cu concentration.

Abstract
Although ferric ion (Fe(3+)) performs critical roles in diverse biochemical processes in living systems, its physiological and pathophysiological functions have not been fully explored due to the lack of methods for quantification of Fe(3+) ions in biological system. In this work, a highly sensitive and selective fluorescence chemosensor, L, was developed for the detection of Fe(3+) ions in aqueous solution and in living cells. L was facile synthesized by one step reaction and well characterized by NMR, API-ES, FT-IR, and elementary analysis. The prepared chemosensor displayed excellent selectivity for Fe(3+) ions detection over a wide range of tested metal ions. In the present of Fe(3+) ions, the strong green fluorescence of L was substantially quenched. The 1:1 stoichiometry of the complexation was confirmed by a Job's plot. The association constant (Ka) of L with Fe(3+) was evaluated using the Benesi-Hildebrand method and was found to be 1.36×10(4) M(-1). The MTT assay determined that L exhibits low cytotoxicity toward living cells. Confocal imaging and flow cytometry studies showed that L is readily interiorized by MDA-MB-231 cells through an energy-dependent pathway and could be used to detect of Fe(3+) ions in living cells.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) in higher concentration is toxic and results in various organ dysfunction. We report Cu concentration in liver, brain and kidney in the rat model following chronic exposure of oral copper sulphate at different subtoxic doses and correlate the tissue Cu concentrations with respective organ dysfunction. Fifty-four male wistar rats divided in 3 groups, the control group received saline water and the experimental group (Group-IIA and IIB) received oral copper sulphate in dose of 100 and 200mg/kg Body Weight. At the end of 30 days, 60 days and 90 days of exposure, six rats were sacrificed from each group. The maximum peak force in grip strength, latency to fall in rotarod and percentage attention score in Y-maze were significantly reduced in the copper sulphate exposed rats compared to the controls at all time points and these were more marked in Group-IIB compared to Group-IIA. Cu concentration was significantly higher in liver, kidney and brain in the Group-II compared to the Group-I. The Cu concentration was highest in the liver (29 folds) followed by kidney (3 folds) and brain (1.5 folds). Serum ALT, AST and bilirubin correlated with liver Cu, BUN with kidney Cu, and grip strength, rotarod and Y-maze findings correlated with brain Cu level. In rats, chronic oral copper sulphate exposure at subtoxic level results in neurobehavioral abnormality and liver and kidney dysfunctions due to increased Cu concentration in the respective organs. Liver is the most vulnerable organ and copper toxicity increases with increasing dose and duration of exposure.
