Das A, Jana G, Sing S, Basu A. Insights into the interaction and inhibitory action of palmatine on lysozyme fibrillogenesis: Spectroscopic and computational studies. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 268:131703. [PMID: 38643915 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131703] [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: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024]
Abstract
Interaction under amyloidogenic condition between naturally occurring protoberberine alkaloid palmatine and hen egg white lysozyme was executed by adopting spectrofluorometric and theoretical molecular docking and dynamic simulation analysis. In spetrofluorometric method, different types of experiments were performed to explore the overall mode and mechanism of interaction. Intrinsic fluorescence quenching of lysozyme (Trp residues) by palmatine showed effective binding interaction and also yielded different binding parameters like binding constant, quenching constant and number of binding sites. Synchronous fluorescence quenching and 3D fluorescence map revealed that palmatine was able to change the microenvironment of the interacting site. Fluorescence life time measurements strongly suggested that this interaction was basically static in nature. Molecular docking result matched with fluorimetric experimental data. Efficient drug like interaction of palmatine with lysozyme at low pH and high salt concentration prompted us to analyze its antifibrillation potential. Different assays and microscopic techniques were employed for detailed analysis of lysozyme amyloidosis.Thioflavin T(ThT) assay, Congo Red (CR) assay, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) assay, Nile Red (NR) assay, anisotropy and intrinsic fluorescence measurements confirmed that palmatine successfully retarded and reduced lysozyme fibrillation. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) further reiterated the excellent antiamyloidogenic potency of palmatine.

Abstract
Self-assembly of misfolded proteins into ordered fibrillar aggregates known as amyloid results in various human diseases. However, more and more proteins, whether in human body or in food, have been found to be able to form amyloid fibrils with in-depth researches. As a model protein for amyloid research, lysozyme has always been the focus of research in various fields. Firstly, the formation mechanisms of amyloid fibrils are discussed concisely. Researches on the regulation of lysozyme amyloid fibrils are helpful to find suitable therapeutic drugs and unfriendly substances. And this review article summarizes a number of exogenous substances including small molecules, nanoparticles, macromolecules, and polymers. Small molecules are mainly connected to lysozyme through hydrophobic interaction, electrostatic interaction, π-π interaction, van der Waals force and hydrogen bond. Nanoparticles inhibit the formation of amyloid fibers by stabilizing lysozyme and fixing β-sheet. Besides, the applications of lysozyme amyloid fibrils in food-related fields are considered furtherly due to outstanding physical and mechanical properties. Nevertheless, the potential health threats are still worthy of our attention. Finally, we also give suggestions and opinions on the future research direction of lysozyme amyloid fibrils.

Abstract
Protein fibrillation and oxidative damage are closely associated with the development of many chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and transthyretin amyloidoses. This work aimed at evaluating the fibrillogenic, antioxidant, anti-oxidative, hemolytic and cytotoxic activities of phenolic-rich extract from Chromolaena odorata (L) R.M. King & H. Rob aerial parts (COPE). As revealed by Thioflavin-T fluorescence, transmission electron microscopy, NBT redox cycling and ANS fluorescence analyses, COPE suppressed the fibril formation of hen egg-white lysozyme by directly binding to the protein and preventing surface exposure its of hydrophobic clusters. In addition, COPE demonstrated potent radical scavenging activities against DPPH˙ and ABTS˙+, chelated ferrous ions, and inhibited metal-catalyzed oxidation of bovine serum albumin. The observed effects could be explained by the high content of flavonoids (22.82 QE/g) and phenolics (190 mg GAE/g) present in COPE. UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS analysis of COPE in negative ionization mode revealed that the predominant compounds were phenolics and terpenoids. Furthermore, COPE was found to exert very minimal cytotoxic effects against human red blood cells (≤ 5% hemolysis) and human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells (≥ 80% viability). These findings suggested that with further investigations, phenolic-rich extract from C odorata could be effectively valorized for pharmacological applications against protein fibrillogenic and oxidative damage related conditions.

Abstract
α-Synuclein (α-syn) aggregates into cytotoxic amyloid fibrils, which are recognized as the defining neuropathological feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). Therefore, inhibiting α-syn fibrillogenesis and disrupting the preformed fibrils are both considered attractive strategies to cure PD. We discovered that a safe food additive, fast green FCF, is capable of inhibiting α-synuclein fibrillogenesis and reducing the related cytotoxicity. Thioflavin T fluorescence assays demonstrated that fast green FCF could inhibit the fibrillogenesis α-synuclein. In the presence of 100 μM fast green FCF, amorphous aggregates were formed and observed by atomic force microscopy. Toxicity assays in cell cultures revealed that fast green FCF significantly reduced the cytotoxicity of α-syn. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the potential mechanism of the interactions between fast green FCF and α-synuclein. Fast green FCF greatly disrupted the α-synuclein pentamer and reduced the β-sheet content by reducing both nonpolar and polar interactions. Furthermore, two binding sites were identified, named region I (Y39-K45) and region II (H50-Q62). Our data reveal that electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and π-π interactions synergistically contribute to the binding of fast green FCF to the α-synuclein pentamer. These results indicate that fast green FCF is a candidate prototype for the development of drugs against the aggregation of amyloid fibrils in PD.

Abstract
In vivo tissue deposition of fibrillar protein aggregates is the cause of several degenerative diseases. Evidence suggests that interfering with the pathology-associated amyloid fibrillogenesis by inhibitory molecules is envisaged as the primary therapeutic strategy. Amyloid fibril formation of proteins has been demonstrated to be influenced by nanoparticles/nanomaterials. As compared with their molecular form counterpart, this work examined the effect of sucrose-terminated nanoparticles on the in vitro amyloid fibrillogenesis and structural properties of β-lactoglobulin at pH 2.0 and 80 °C. ThT binding and electron microscopy results demonstrated that sucrose-terminated nanoparticles were able to suppress β-lactoglobulin fibrillogenesis in a concentration-dependent fashion. Importantly, sucrose-terminated nanoparticles showed better β-lactoglobulin fibril-inhibiting ability than sucrose molecules. ANS fluorescence and right-angle light scattering results showed reduced solvent exposure and decreased aggregation, respectively, in the β-lactoglobulin samples upon treatment with sucrose-terminated nanoparticles. Moreover, fluorescence quenching analyses revealed that the static quenching mechanism and formation of a non-fluorescent fluorophore-nanoparticle complex are involved in the nanoparticle-β-lactoglobulin interaction. We believe that the results from this study may suggest that the nanoparticle form of biocompatible sugar-related osmolytes may serve as effective inhibiting/suppressing agents toward protein fibrillogenesis.

Abstract
Amyloid self-assembly is pathologically linked to many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). While many inhibitors have been developed individually for specific amyloid proteins, there are a few effective platforms to screen on a large scale general amyloid inhibitors against different amyloid proteins. Herein, we developed a new class of amyloid inhibitor probes by site-specific conjugation of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules with amyloid proteins (i.e., AIE@amyloid probes) to realize a high-throughput screening of small-molecule inhibitors. Optimization of site-specific AIE conjugation with two amyloid proteins, amyloid-β protein (Aβ) and α-synuclein (αSN), enabled us to retain their high amyloidogenic properties; i.e., AIE-amyloid probes alone exhibited strong fluorescence due to amyloid-like aggregation, but they showed no fluorescence in the presence of amyloid inhibitors to prevent amyloid aggregation. From integration of AIE@amyloid probes and computational virtual screening from a large drug database, it was found that tolcapone possessed a dual inhibition against the aggregation and cytotoxicity of both Aβ and αSN. More importantly, tolcapone significantly improved the spatial cognition and recognition of Aβ-treated mice. This work represents an innovative attempt to design an AIE-based anti-amyloid drug platform for identifying new small-molecule inhibitors against amyloidogenesis in both AD and PD or other amyloid diseases.

Abstract
Protein fibrous aggregation is associated with many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. To modulate the process, a number of fibrillation inhibitors have been reported, although their working mechanism remains vague, calling for new means to decipher their interaction. Herein, we identified and characterized a novel inhibitor called Crocein Orange G (COG), which inhibited the nucleation and impeded the protofibril formation, revealed by various experimental approaches as well as molecular docking. In particular, the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) helps to identify the binding sites and illustrate the interaction mechanism and fibrillation process by using Ag IMNPs as SERS substrate for a label-free detection. Combining with molecular docking, the SERS-based approach provides structural information concerning protein-ligand interaction and protein fibrillation. This study suggests that SERS can be a powerful new means to study the interaction between inhibitors and amyloid proteins and can potentially be a common tool for amyloid research. Strikingly, the SERS signal of COG corresponds very well with the state of protein fibrillation, hinting its function as an amyloid SERS signal amplifier. Therefore, this study provides a new means to monitor and interfere amyloid fibrillation.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that amyloid fibril mitigation/inhibition is considered a promising approach toward treating amyloid diseases. In this work, we first examined how amyloid fibrillogenesis of lysozyme was affected by BBG, a safe triphenylmethane compound with nice blood-brain-barrier-permeability, and found that shorter fibrillar species were formed in the lysozyme samples treated with BBG. Next, alterations in the features including the secondary as well as tertiary structure, extent of aggregation, and molecular distribution of lysozyme triggered by the addition of BBG were examined by various spectroscopic techniques, right-angle light scattering, dynamic light scattering, and SDS-PAGE. In addition, we have investigated how BBG affected the lysozyme fibril-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. We found that a large quantity of shorter fibrillar species and more lysozyme monomers were present in the samples treated with BBG. Also, the addition of BBG rescued SH-SY5Y cells from cell death induced by amyloid fibrils of lysozyme. Finally, information about the binding sites and interacting forces involved in the BBG-lysozyme interaction was further explored using synchronous fluorescence and molecular docking approaches. Molecular docking results revealed that, apart from the hydrophobic interaction(s), hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and van der Waal forces may also be involved in the binding interaction.

Abstract
Amyloids result from the aggregation of a set of diverse proteins, due to either specific mutations or promoting intra- or extra-cellular conditions. Structurally, they are rich in intermolecular β-sheets and are the causative agents of several diseases, both neurodegenerative and systemic. It is believed that the most toxic species are small aggregates, referred to as oligomers, rather than the final fibrillar assemblies. Their mechanisms of toxicity are mostly mediated by aberrant interactions with the cell membranes, with resulting derangement of membrane-related functions. Much effort is being exerted in the search for natural antiamyloid agents, and/or in the development of synthetic molecules. Actually, it is well documented that the prevention of amyloid aggregation results in several cytoprotective effects. Here, we portray the state of the art in the field. Several natural compounds are effective antiamyloid agents, notably tetracyclines and polyphenols. They are generally non-specific, as documented by their partially overlapping mechanisms and the capability to interfere with the aggregation of several unrelated proteins. Among rationally designed molecules, we mention the prominent examples of β-breakers peptides, whole antibodies and fragments thereof, and the special case of drugs with contrasting transthyretin aggregation. In this framework, we stress the pivotal role of the computational approaches. When combined with biophysical methods, in several cases they have helped clarify in detail the protein/drug modes of interaction, which makes it plausible that more effective drugs will be developed in the future.

Abstract
Fast Green FCF (FGF), a biocompatible dye, recently drew attention as a potential drug to treat amyloid-deposit diseases due to its effects against amyloid fibrillogenesis in vitro and a high degree of safety. However, its role in inflammatory pain is unknown. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of FGF in the inflammatory pain model induced by complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) and to identify the associated mechanisms. We found that systemic administration of FGF reversed mechanical and thermal pain hypersensitivity evoked by CFA in a dose-dependent manner. FGF treatment decreased purinergic spinal P2X4 expression in the spinal cord of CFA-inflamed mice. FGF also down-regulated spinal and peripheral pro-inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)], but did not alter the spinal level of nerve growth factor (NGF) or brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In conclusion, our results suggest the potential of FGF for controlling the progress of inflammatory pain.
