The protective effect of natural phenolic compound on the functional and structural responses of inhibited catalase by a common azo food dye. Food Chem Toxicol 2021; 160:112801. [PMID: 34974130 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2021.112801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Revised: 12/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
In this research retrieval effects of natural yellow (NY) on the performance of carmoisine (CAR) inhibited bovine liver catalase (BLC) was studied using multispectral and theoretical methods. Kinetic studies showed that CAR inhibited BLC through competitive inhibition (IC50 value of 2.24 × 10-6 M) while the addition of NY recover the activity of CAR-BLC up to 82% in comparison with the control enzyme. Circular dichroism data revealed that NY can repair the structural changes of BLC, affected by CAR. Furthermore, an equilibrium dialysis study indicated that NY could reduce the stability of the CAR-catalase complex. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) data analysis indicated a high affinity of NY to BLC compared to CAR and the binding of NY led to a decrease in the affinity of the enzyme to the inhibitor. On the other hand, fluorescence and molecular docking studies showed that the quenching mechanism of BLC by CAR occurs through a static quenching process, and van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding play a crucial role in the binding of CAR to BLC. MLSD data demonstrated that NY could increase the binding energy of CAR-BLC complex from -7.72 kJ mol-1 to -5.9 kJ mol-1, leading to complex instability and catalase activity salvage.

The interaction between lipocalin 2 and dipyridine ketone hydrazone dithiocarbamte may influence respective function in proliferation and metastasis-related gene expressions in HepG2 cell. J Biol Inorg Chem 2021; 26:123-133.

Abstract
LCN2 (Lipocalins) was first identified as iron transporter through associating with its siderophores and also involved in many cancer metastases, but its function is still paradoxical. We questioned that whether LCN2 might also associate exogenous iron chelator as does in inherent way and the association may influence their respective function. To address this issue, we investigated the effect of LCN2 on action of DpdtC (2,2'-dipyridine ketone hydrazone dithiocarbamte), an iron chelator in proliferation and metastasis-related gene expression. The results showed that exogenous LCN2 and DpdtC could inhibit growth of HepG2 cells, while the combination treatment enhanced their inhibitory effect both in proliferation and colony formation. This encouraged us to investigate the effect of the interaction on metastasis-related gene expression. The results revealed that both LCN2 and DpdtC impaired the wound healing of HepG2, but the inhibitory effect of DpdtC was significantly enhanced upon association with LCN2. Undergoing epithelium-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial step for cancer metastasis, LCN2 and DpdtC had opposite effects on EMT markers, the binding of DpdtC to LCN2 significantly weakened the regulation of it (or its iron chelate) on EMT markers. To insight into the interaction between LCN2 and DpdtC-iron, fluorescence titration and molecular docking were performed to obtain the association constant (~ 104 M-1) and thermodynamic parameters (ΔG = - 26.10 kJ/mol). Importantly this study provided evidence that siderophores-loading state of LCN2 may influence its function, which be helpful for understanding the contradictory role of LCN2 in the metastasis of cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are extensively being used in state-of-the-art nano-based therapies, modern electronics, and consumer products, so can be released into the environment with enhancement interaction with humans. Hence, the exposures to these multifunctional NPs lead to changes in protein structure and functionality, raising serious health issues. This study thoroughly investigated the interaction and adsorption of catalase (CAT) with HfO2-NPs by circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The results indicate that HfO2 NPs cause fluorescence quenching in CAT by a static quenching mechanism. The negative values of Vant Hoff thermodynamic expressions (ΔH

, ΔS

, and ΔG

) corroborate the spontaneity and exothermic nature of static quenching driven by van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding. Also, FTIR, UV-CD, and UV–visible spectroscopy techniques confirmed that HfO2 NPs binding could induce microenvironment perturbations leading to secondary and tertiary conformation changes in CAT. Furthermore, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the significant changes in the microenvironment around tryptophan (Trp) residue caused by HfO2 NPs. The time depending denaturing of CAT biochemistry through HfO2-NPs was investigated by assaying catalase activity elucidates the potential toxic action of HfO2-NPs at the macromolecular level. Briefly, this provides an empathetic knowledge of the nanotoxicity and likely health effects of HfO2 NPs exposure.

Abstract
Dithiocarbamate has been reported to possess a potent antitumor efficacy against several types of cancer, such as ovarian cancer, breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma; however, only a few studies have investigated its inhibitory effect on esophageal cancer. Dipyridylhydrazone dithiocarbamate (DpdtC) is a novel dithiocarbamate derivative that was recently designed, synthesized and evaluated in our previous study. In the present study, the cell growth inhibition and apoptosis induced by DpdtC were measured using the CCK-8 and Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining assays, respectively. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway and apoptosis related protein levels were examined by western blotting. In vivo effect of DpdtC was evaluated in nude mice bearing KYSE-450 ×enograft tumors. The aims of the present study were to further evaluate the antitumor effects of DpdtC on esophageal cancer cells (KYSE-150 and KYSE-450 cells), and to investigate its potential mechanism of action in vitro and in vivo. It was found that DpdtC significantly inhibited KYSE-150 and KYSE-450 cell proliferation by regulating the EGFR/AKT signaling pathway and inducing apoptosis. In addition, this effect was further identified in vivo; DpdtC inhibited the growth of the KYSE-450 esophageal cancer xenografts by regulating the EGFR/AKT signaling pathway. Furthermore, DpdtC did not affect the body weight in mice. Collectively, the present results suggested that DpdtC may be a promising antitumor drug candidate for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Growth Inhibition of a Novel Iron Chelator, DpdtC, against Hepatoma Carcinoma Cell Lines Partly Attributed to Ferritinophagy-Mediated Lysosomal ROS Generation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2018; 2018:4928703. [PMID: 30154950 PMCID: PMC6098875 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4928703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2018] [Revised: 06/10/2018] [Accepted: 07/08/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Some iron chelators display significant anticancer activity that may involve ferritin degradation either in proteasomes or in lysosomes, and the latter might involve ferritinophagy with a period. However, the correlation of ferritinophagy with anticancer activity of iron chelator was not fully determined. Revealing the underlying link therefore is required. Di-2-pyridylketone dithiocarbamate (DpdtC), a novel iron chelator, could mobilize iron from ferritin and displayed excellent antitumor against hepatoma carcinoma cell lines (IC50s = 0.4 ± 0.2 for HepG2 and 3.5 ± 0.3 μM for Bel-7402, resp.); we speculated that the antiproliferative action of DpdtC might involve ferritinophagy. To this end, the alterations of ferritin, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3-II), and nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4) were investigated after exposure of DpdtC to the cells. The results revealed that DpdtC could cause increases of autophagic vacuoles and LC3-II. The data from cellular immunofluorescence and Western blotting showed a reciprocal relation between abundances of ferritin and LC3-II, but the trends of NCOA4 and LC3-II in abundance were in a similar manner, indicating that a ferritinophagy occurred. Further studies revealed that the ferritinophagy evoked an iron-driven intralysosomal oxidative reaction, resulting in LMP change and lipid peroxidation. Thus, a ferritinophagy-mediated lysosomal ROS generation playing a role in the antiproliferative action of DpdtC could be proposed, which will enrich our knowledge of iron chelator in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Dithiocarbamate has been tested for its effective anti-tumor activity, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We previously prepared a novel diththiocarbamate derivative, DpdtC with an ability of catalase inhibition. Here, we for the first time investigated the growth inhibition effects of DpdtC on HER2-amplified cancer cells and elucidated its mechanism of action. Results showed that DpdtC exerted the potent anti-tumor effects against HER2-overexpressed SK-OV-3 and SK-BR-3 cells, especially on SK-OV-3 cells with a higher NDRG1 level, which was also confirmed in the SK-OV-3 xenograft model. Interestingly, we observed that NDRG1 was up-regulated, while membrane expression of HER2 was regressed in SK-OV-3 cells upon DpdtC treatment. In agreement, silencing endogenous NDRG1 also increased the expression of HER2 in SK-OV-3 cells, while overexpressing NDRG1 decreased HER2 expression in SK-BR-3 cells. Furthermore, our results showed the formation of the EGFR/HER2 heterodimer was attenuated and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was inhibited in SK-OV-3 cells when treated with DpdtC. Collectively, these observations demonstrated that NDRG1 plays an important role in mediating the inhibition effects of DpdtC in HER2-overexpressed cancer cells via selective targeting of the HER2-ERK1/2 pathway. Hence, our investigation suggests that up-regulation of NDRG1 by DpdtC is a promising therapeutic approach in HER2-overexpressed cancers.
