Aptamer-enhanced the Ag(I) ion-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzdine catalytic system as a novel colorimetric biosensor for ultrasensitive and selective detection of paraquat. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 280:121571. [PMID: 35780760 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.121571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
A facile and simple colorimetric biosensor was first established for paraquat (PQ) detection based on the aptamer-enhanced oxidation process of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by Ag+. The study confirmed that the interaction of PQ-15 aptamer with Ag+ accelerates the electron transfer from the aptamer-Ag+ complex to dissolved oxygen, which enhances the release of superoxide anion radicals (O2̇-) and facilitates the catalytic oxidation of the chromogenic substrate. PQ-15 aptamer will preferentially bind to PQ molecules, resulting in no further enhancement of the catalytic activity of Ag+. Molecular docking results revealed that the PQ molecules are attached to the stem-loop region of the PQ-15 aptamer through σ-π conjugation interactions. The proposed method is simple that only contains Ag+ and corresponding aptamer. The limit of detection (LOD) of the constructed colorimetric biosensor for PQ detection was determined to be 16.5 μg·L-1, belowing the maximum residue limit in fruits and vegetables set by the EU. Moreover, the colorimetric biosensor showed excellent selectivity and anti-interference properties, which was validated for detecting PQ residues in several typical agricultural and water samples.

Abstract
The contamination of hydrosoluble pesticides in water could generate a serious problem for biotic and abiotic components. The removal of a hazardous agrochemical (paraquat) from water was achieved by adsorption processes using poly(vinyl alcohol)-cyclodextrin nanosponges, which were prepared with various formulations via the crosslinking between citric acid and β-cyclodextrin in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). The physicochemical properties of nanosponges were also characterized by different techniques, such as gravimetry, thermogravimetry, microscopy (SEM and Stereo), spectroscopy (UV-visible, NMR, ATR-FTIR, and Raman), acid-base titration, BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction, and ion exchange capacity. The C10D-P2 nanosponges displayed 60.2% yield, 3.14 mmol/g COOH groups, 0.335 mmol/g β-CD content, 96.4% swelling, 94.5% paraquat removal, 0.1766 m2 g-1 specific surface area, and 5.2 × 10-4 cm3 g-1 pore volume. The presence of particular peaks referring to specific functional groups on spectroscopic spectra confirmed the successful polycondensation on the reticulated nanosponges. The pseudo second-order model (with R2 = 0.9998) and Langmuir isotherm (with R2 = 0.9979) was suitable for kinetics and isotherm using 180 min of contact time and a pH of 6.5. The maximum adsorption capacity was calculated at 112.2 mg/g. Finally, the recyclability of these nanosponges was 90.3% of paraquat removal after five regeneration times.

Successful treatment of severe toxic hepatitis and encephalopathy without respiratory failure caused by paraquat intoxication. Am J Med Sci 2021; 363:267-272.

Abstract
Lung damage is a characteristic feature of paraquat intoxication; most deaths resulting from ingesting paraquat are due to progressive respiratory failure. Liver failure caused by paraquat intoxication is rare. A case of orally ingested paraquat intoxication is reported in which serious liver injury and toxic encephalopathy were observed, but little lung damage was found. The principal systemic symptom was severe liver injury, characterized by cholestasis, that gradually became aggravated. In addition to standard treatment, aggressive treatment through liver protection and cholestasis was administered. Finally, liver function returned to normal and central nervous system symptoms were controlled. The patient was successfully discharged. This case suggests that the hepatotoxicity of paraquat intoxication is possibly characterized by cholestasis, and the treatment of cholestasis promotes recovery of severe hepatocyte damage.

Abstract
Pepsin is an aspartic protease that is involved in the digestion of food in the stomach of mammals. Continuous and long-term use of therapeutic agents will cause chronic contact of the drug with pepsin, and as a result, the structure and function of enzyme may change. In this regard the interactions of isoniazid and rifampin as the first line treatments of tuberculosis with pepsin were investigated by various methods such as fluorescence spectroscopy, FTIR, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Based on the results obtained in this study, the mentioned drugs can form stable complexes with pepsin and the structure of protein changes slightly. According to the results, the major forces in the formation of the protein-drug complex are electrostatic and hydrophobic forces for isoniazid and rifampin respectively and isoniazid shows to form a stronger binding with protein. The FTIR spectrum of the protein shows that little change was occurred in the structure of pepsin in the presence of the drugs. Molecular modeling results of the binding of isoniazid and rifampin to the pepsin confirm laboratory results and show that the binding site of drugs is close to the active site of the enzyme. Also, the activity of pepsin in the presence of both drugs has significantly increased.

Abstract
The study of the interaction of persistent organic pollutants with biosubstrates helps to unravel the pathways for toxicity, however, few mechanistic data are present in the literature for these systems. We analyzed the binding of paraquat (PQ) and diquat (DQ) herbicides to natural calf thymus DNA and a DNA G-quadruplex by spectrophotometric titrations, ethidium bromide exchange tests, viscometry, and melting experiments. The interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein was studied spectrofluorimetrically at different temperatures. The retention of the targets on positive, negative, and neutral micellar aggregates and liposomes was analyzed by ultrafiltration experiments. Despite some favorable features, PQ and DQ only externally bind natural DNA and do not interact with DNA oligonucleotides. Both herbicides bind bovine serum albumin (BSA). PQ binds BSA mainly according to an electrostatics-driven process. However, ultrafiltration data also show that some hydrophobic contribution participates in the features of these systems. The practical problems related to unfavorable spectroscopic signals and inner filter effects are also discussed. Overall, both herbicides show a low affinity for nucleic acids and weak penetration into liposomes; in addition, the equilibrium constants values found for BSA system suggest optimal conditions for transport in the body.

Abstract
Pepsin, as the main protease of the stomach, plays an important role in the digestion of food proteins into smaller peptides and performs about 20% of the digestive function. The role of pepsin in the development of gastrointestinal ulcers has also been studied for many years. Edible drugs that enter the body through the gastrointestinal tract will interact with this enzyme as one of the first targets. Continuous and long-term usage of some drugs will cause chronic contact of the drug with this protein, and as a result, the structure and function of pepsin may be affected. Therefore, the possible effect of atenolol and diltiazem on the structure and activity of pepsin was studied. The interaction of drugs with pepsin was evaluated using various experimental methods including UV-Visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, FTIR and enzymatic activity along with computational approaches. It was showed that after binding of atenolol and diltiazem to pepsin, the inherent fluorescence of the protein is quenched. Determination of the thermodynamic parameters of interactions between atenolol and diltiazem with pepsin indicates that the major forces in the formation of the protein-drug complexes are hydrophobic forces and also atenolol has a stronger protein bonding than diltiazem. Additional tests also show that the protease activity of pepsin, decreases and increases in the presence of atenolol and diltiazem, respectively. Investigation of the FTIR spectrum of the protein in the presence and absence of atenolol and diltiazem show that in the presence of atenolol the structure of protein has slightly changed. Molecular modeling studies, in agreement with the experimental results, confirm the binding of atenolol and diltiazem to the enzyme pepsin and show that the drugs are bind close to the active site of the enzyme. Finally, from experimental and computational results, it can be concluded that atenolol and diltiazem interact with the pepsin and change its structure and protease activity.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of long-term use drugs of cholesterol-lowering atorvastatin and simvastatin on the activity and molecular structure of pepsin as important gastric enzyme was investigated by various experimental and computational methods. Based on the results obtained from fluorescence experiments, both drugs can bond to pepsin and quench the fluorescence intensity of protein through the static quenching mechanism. Also analysis of the thermodynamic parameters of binding the drugs to pepsin showed that the main forces in the complex formation for both are hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces. The effects of the drugs on the enzymatic activity of pepsin were then investigated and results showed that in the presence of both drugs the catalytic activity of the enzyme was significantly increased in lower (0.3-0.6 mM) concentrations however about the atorvastatin, increasing the concentration (0.9 mM) decreased the protease activity of pepsin. Also as a result of the FTIR studies, it was found that binding of the drugs to protein did not significant alteration in the structure of the protein. In order to obtain the atomic details of drug-protein interactions, the computational calculations were performed. The results in good agreement with those obtained from the experimental for interaction; confirm that the drugs both are bind to a cleft near the active site of the protein without any change in the structure of pepsin. Overall from the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that both simvastatin and atorvastatin can strongly bond to a location close to the active site of pepsin and the binding change the enzymatic activity of protein.

Abstract
Application of proteinous drugs can be associated with difficulties during both in storage/transportation and in the body when they are used. However, using pharmaceutical carbohydrates that are widely employed in drug delivery systems, besides the drug can be protected, these systems leading to gradually release the drug over time, or deliver it to the target cell. Using a combination of molecular modeling and simulation techniques, in this study the effects of five carbohydrate polymers of Chitosan, Alginate, Cyclodextrin, Hyaluronic acid and Pectin on structure and dynamics of interleukin2 protein at 298 K and 343 K, are investigated. Data achieved using molecular modeling methods showed that when the temperature rises, the protein stability decreases. Among different polymers, Chitosan and Cyclodextrin have shown to be able to protect protein against the negative effects of high temperatures in comparison with other polymers which suggests that the use of Cyclodextrin biopolymer for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations of interleukin2 can be the best possible choice among other polymers investigated in this research.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Testis-specific gene antigen 10 (TSGA10) is a protein overexpressed in most cancers; except for some certain types where its expression is reduced. TSGA10 overexpression in HeLa cells has been shown to disrupt hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) axis and exert potent inhibitory effects. Since HIF-1α is structurally and biochemically similar to HIF-2α, TSGA10 is expected to bind HIF-2α and inhibit its function as well. This study elucidated that increased expression of TSGA10 in manipulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) decreased the proliferation and migration of these cells as affirmed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and wound healing tests, respectively. It also inhibited in vitro angiogenesis of these cells in 3D collagen-cytodex model. Expression levels of genes controlled by HIF-2α including autocrine vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were also assessed using real-time PCR. Our bioinformatic analysis also showed that TSGA10 could bind HIF-2α. Moreover, flow cytometry results indicated a cell cycle arrest in G2/M. Therefore, this study showed that overexpression of TSGA10, as a tumor suppressor gene, in endothelial cells resulted in decreased proliferation, migration and therefore, angiogenic activity of HUVECs. Since angiogenesis is vital for tumor development and metastasis, our findings could be of clinical significance in cancer therapy.

Abstract
While a number of genetic mutations are associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), it is also widely acknowledged that the environment plays a significant role in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases. Epidemiological evidence suggests that occupational exposure to pesticides (e.g., dieldrin, paraquat, rotenone, maneb, and ziram) is associated with a higher risk of developing PD in susceptible populations. Within dopaminergic neurons, environmental chemicals can have an array of adverse effects resulting in cell death, such as aberrant redox cycling and oxidative damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, unfolded protein response, ubiquitin-proteome system dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and metabolic disruption. More recently, our understanding of how pesticides affect cells of the central nervous system has been strengthened by computational biology. New insight has been gained about transcriptional and proteomic networks, and the metabolic pathways perturbed by pesticides. These networks and cell signaling pathways constitute potential therapeutic targets for intervention to slow or mitigate neurodegenerative diseases. Here we review the epidemiological evidence that supports a role for specific pesticides in the etiology of PD and identify molecular profiles amongst these pesticides that may contribute to the disease. Using the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, these transcripts were compared to those regulated by the PD-associated neurotoxicant MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine). While many transcripts are already established as those related to PD (alpha-synuclein, caspases, leucine rich repeat kinase 2, and parkin2), lesser studied targets have emerged as “pesticide/PD-associated transcripts” [e.g., phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class C (Pigc), allograft inflammatory factor 1 (Aif1), TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 3, and DNA damage inducible transcript 4]. We also compared pesticide-regulated genes to a recent meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in PD which revealed new genetic mutant alleles; the pesticides under review regulated the expression of many of these genes (e.g., ELOVL fatty acid elongase 7, ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit a1, and bridging integrator 3). The significance is that these proteins may contribute to pesticide-related increases in PD risk. This review collates information on transcriptome responses to PD-associated pesticides to develop a mechanistic framework for quantifying PD risk with exposures.

Abstract
It has been reported that the antiestrogen Tamoxifen induces liver tumors in rats and genotoxic effects in vitro through DNA interaction. So, it can be proposed that its structural analogue, Clomifene, also can bind to DNA. To test this hypothesis, the DNA binding properties of Clomifene have been studied by absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, cellular uptake, cell viability, cell proliferation and molecular modeling techniques. Evidences are provided that Clomifene could interact with DNA via minor groove interaction mode. The negative ΔG value implied that the interaction occurred between DNA and Clomifene spontaneously. Also, the positive ΔH and positive ΔS values indicated that the binding of Clomifene with DNA is mainly entropy driven and the enthalpy is unfavorable parameter. This also suggests that the hydrophobic interaction plays a major role in the binding with overall binding constant of K=5.645×107M-1 at 298K. From the results of docking, it can be concluded that Hydrogen bonds is also one of the most important interactions. The increase in entropy of system after binding might be due to the destruction of the DNA structure.
