BMC Pharmacol Toxicol 2024; 25:44. [PMID: 39090674 PMCID: PMC11295349 DOI: 10.1186/s40360-024-00766-2] [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: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC), now the second most prevalent malignant tumor worldwide, is more prevalent in young adults. In recent decades, there has been progress in creating anti-colorectal cancer medications, including cytotoxic compounds. OBJECTIVES Novel anticancer drugs are needed to surmount existing obstacles. A recent study investigated the effectiveness of novel formulations in preventing colorectal cancer. METHODS During this study, we assessed a new kind of niosome called cyclo-Gly-L-DOPA (CG-Nio-CGLD) made from chitosan glutamate. We evaluated the anti-colorectal cancer properties of CG-Nio-CGLD utilizing CCK-8, invasion assay, MTT assay, flow cytometry, and cell cycle analysis. The transcription of genes associated with apoptosis was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. At the same time, the cytotoxicity of nanomaterials on both cancer and normal cell lines was assessed using MTT assays. Novel anticancer drugs are needed to surmount existing obstacles. A recent study investigated the effectiveness of newly developed formulations in preventing colorectal cancer. RESULTS The Nio-CGLD and CG-Nio-CGLD were spherical mean diameters of 169.12 ± 1.87 and 179.26 ± 2.17 nm, respectively. Entrapment efficiency (EE%) measurements of the Nio-CGLD and CG-Nio-CGLD were 63.12 ± 0.51 and 76.43 ± 0.34%, respectively. In the CG-Nio-CGLD group, the percentages of early, late, necrotic, and viable CL40 cells were 341.93%, 23.27%, 9.32%, and 25.48%. The transcription of the genes PP53, cas3, and cas8 was noticeably higher in the treatment group compared to the control group (P > 0.001). Additionally, the treatment group had lower BCL2 and survivin gene expression levels than the control group (P < 0.01). Additionally, CG-Nio-CGLD formulations demonstrated a biocompatible nanoscale delivery mechanism and displayed little cytotoxicity toward the CCD 841 CoN reference cell line. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that chitosan-based noisome encapsulation may enhance the effectiveness of CG-Nio-CGLD formulations in fighting cancer.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have promising applications in biomedical fields, such as disease monitoring, real-time imaging diagnosis, and disease treatment. As a promising luminescent material with tunable emission, high brightness and excellent stability, CPs are widely used as fluorescent probes in biological detection and imaging. Rational molecular design and structural optimization have broadened absorption/emission range of CPs, which are more conductive for disease diagnosis and precision therapy. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the application of CPs, aiming to elucidate their structural and functional relationships. The fluorescence properties of CPs and the mechanism of detection signal amplification are first discussed, followed by an elucidation of their emerging applications in biological detection. Subsequently, CPs-based imaging systems and therapeutic strategies are illustrated systematically. Finally, recent advancements in utilizing CPs as electroactive materials for bioelectronic devices are also investigated. Moreover, the challenges and outlooks of CPs for precision medicine are discussed. Through this systematic review, it is hoped to highlight the frontier progress of CPs and promote new breakthroughs in fundamental research and clinical transformation.

Abstract
More than half of the world's population is infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which may lead to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and stomach cancer. LeoA, a conserved antigen of H. pylori, aids in preventing this infection by triggering specific CD3+ T-cell responses. In this study, recombinant plasmids containing the LeoA gene of H. pylori are created and conjugated with chitosan nanoparticle (CSNP) to immunize BALB/c mice against the H. pylori infection. We used the online Vaxign tool to analyze the genomes of five distinct strains of H. pylori, and we chose the outer membrane as a prospective vaccine candidate. Afterward, the proteins' immunogenicity was evaluated. The DNA vaccine was constructed and then encapsulated in CSNPs. The effectiveness of the vaccine's immunoprotective effects was evaluated in BALB/c mice. Purified activated splenic CD3+ T cells are used to test the anticancer effects in vitro. Nanovaccines had apparent spherical forms, were small (mean size, 150-250 nm), and positively charged (41.3 ± 3.11 mV). A consistently delayed release pattern and an entrapment efficiency (73.35 ± 3.48%) could be established. Compared to the non-encapsulated DNA vaccine, vaccinated BALB/c mice produced higher amounts of LeoA-specific IgG in plasma and TNF-α in splenocyte lysate. Moreover, BALB/c mice inoculated with nanovaccine demonstrated considerable immunity (87.5%) against the H. pylori challenge and reduced stomach injury and bacterial burdens in the stomach. The immunological state in individuals with GC with chronic infection with H. pylori is mimicked by the H. pylori DNA nanovaccines by inducing a shift from Th1 to Th2 in the response. In vitro human GC cell development is inhibited by activated CD3+ T lymphocytes. According to our findings, the H. pylori vaccine-activated CD3+ has potential immunotherapeutic benefits.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are the second leading cause of death around the world, especially those caused by delayed treatment and misdiagnosis. Therefore, rapid discrimination and effective elimination of multiple bacteria are of great importance for improving the survival rate in clinic. Herein, a novel colorimetric sensor array for bacterial discrimination and elimination is constructed using programmable DNA-encoded iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) as sensing elements. Utilizing differential interactions of bacteria on DNA-encoded IONPs, 11 kinds of dental bacteria and 6 kinds of proteins have been successfully identified by linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Moreover, the developed sensing system also performs well in the quantitative determination of individual bacteria and identification of bacterial mixtures. More importantly, the practicability of this sensing strategy is further verified by precise differentiation of blind and artificial saliva samples. Furthermore, the sensor array is used for efficiently killing multiple bacteria, demonstrating great potential in clinical prophylaxis and therapy.

BMC Immunol 2024; 25:11. [PMID: 38310250 PMCID: PMC10838413 DOI: 10.1186/s12865-024-00602-6] [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: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori), is an established causative factor for the development of gastric cancer and the induction of persistent stomach infections that may lead to peptic ulcers. In recent decades, several endeavours have been undertaken to develop a vaccine for H. pylori, although none have advanced to the clinical phase. The development of a successful H. pylori vaccine is hindered by particular challenges, such as the absence of secure mucosal vaccines to enhance local immune responses, the absence of identified antigens that are effective in vaccinations, and the absence of recognized indicators of protection. METHODS The DNA vaccine was chemically cloned, and the cloning was verified using PCR and restriction enzyme digestion. The efficacy of the vaccination was investigated. The immunogenicity and immune-protective efficacy of the vaccination were assessed in BALB/c mice. This study demonstrated that administering a preventive Alginate/pCI-neo-UreH Nanovaccine directly into the stomach effectively triggered a robust immune response to protect against H. pylori infection in mice. RESULTS The level of immune protection achieved with this nano vaccine was similar to that observed when using the widely accepted formalin-killed H. pylori Hel 305 as a positive control. The Alginate/pCI-neo-UreH Nanovaccine composition elicited significant mucosal and systemic antigen-specific antibody responses and strong intestinal and systemic Th1 responses. Moreover, the activation of IL-17R signaling is necessary for the defensive Th1 immune responses in the intestines triggered by Alginate/pCI-neo-UreH. CONCLUSION Alginate/pCI-neo-UreH is a potential Nanovaccine for use in an oral vaccine versus H. pylori infection, according to our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite an increasing incidence of Staphylococcus aureus infection and dissemination in Pakistan, the epidemiology of different Staphylococcus aureus research clones has been the subject of only a small number of investigations. By analyzing the collected data sequence, this study was designed to study the epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus in the area using multilocus sequence typing (MLST). METHODS A total of 1015 staphylococcus strains collected from the city's tertiary care facilities were biochemically screened, followed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing against a panel of 13 antibiotics. Analyzed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was subjected to molecular characterization using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), clonal complex analysis, recombination testing, and phylogenetic analysis. RESULTS Approximately 421 bacteria were verified as Staphylococcus aureus by biochemical analysis. 57% of the isolates exhibited multidrug resistance, of which 89% were found to be methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MLST results in a total of 39 sequence types (ST) and 5 clonal complexes (CC), out of which twenty-two STs were newly documented worldwide. The most common CC identified was CC8. The direct sequencing data also revealed significant shifts at MLST loci, with point mutations resulting in the aroE-343 and tpi-278 alleles. CONCLUSIONS This study concludes that there is high diversity in the locally circulating clones of Staphylococcus aureus present in nature and that they are defined by their geographic epidemiology. These findings have practical implications for public health, including the need for tailored infection control strategies, antibiotic stewardship, global surveillance, and a deeper understanding of bacterial evolution.

Abstract
Despite the recent advances in food preservation techniques and food safety, significant disease outbreaks linked to foodborne pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses still occur worldwide indicating that these pathogens still constitute significant risks to public health. Although extensive reviews of methods for foodborne pathogens detection exist, most are skewed towards bacteria despite the increasing relevance of other pathogens such as viruses. Therefore, this review of foodborne pathogen detection methods is holistic, focusing on pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This review has shown that culture-based methods allied with new approaches are beneficial for the detection of foodborne pathogens. The current application of immunoassay methods, especially for bacterial and fungal toxins detection in foods, are reviewed. The use and benefits of nucleic acid-based PCR methods and next-generation sequencing-based methods for bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens' detection and their toxins in foods are also reviewed. This review has, therefore, shown that different modern methods exist for the detection of current and emerging foodborne bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. It provides further evidence that the full utilization of these tools can lead to early detection and control of foodborne diseases, enhancing public health and reducing the frequency of disease outbreaks.

Abstract
Simple and efficient identification of multiple bacteria and sterilization in real time is of considerable significance for clinical diagnostics and quality control in food. Herein, a novel chemical-tongue sensor array with 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a single probe was developed for bacterial identification and photothermal elimination. The synthesized bimetallic palladium/platinum nanoparticles (Pd/PtNPs) present excellent catalytic capability that can catalyze TMB into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) with four feature absorption peaks. Bacteria have different ability on inhibiting the reaction between TMB and Pd/PtNPs. With the absorbance intensity of oxTMB at the four feature peaks as readout, nine kinds of bacteria including two drug-resistant bacteria can be successfully distinguished via linear discriminant analysis. Remarkably, oxTMB exhibits excellent photothermal properties and can effectively kill bacteria in real time under near-infrared laser irradiation. The strategy of selecting TMB as a single probe simplifies the experimental operation and reduces the time cost. Furthermore, the developed sensing system was used to promote the wound healing process of MRSA-infected mice in vivo. The investigation provides a promising simple and efficient strategy for bacterial identification and sterilization with a universal platform, which has great potential application in clinical diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
A flow cytometry (FCM)-based method was developed for the faster detection of Staphylococcus aureus in milk and milk powder. Viable S. aureus cells were recognized by highly selective, fluorescently labeled antibodies and Propidium Iodide, and then analyzed by FCM. Using a 5-h pre-enrichment period, the method could detect low numbers of S. aureus cells in 6 h, with a limit of detection of 7.50 cells/mL in milk and 8.30 cells/g in milk powder. The established method was compared with the plate-based method using 75 ultra-high-temperature-treated milk samples, 25 pasteurized milk samples, 66 raw milk samples, and 123 milk powder samples. The two methods yielded similar results for the detection of the pathogen in all sample types. The FCM-based method allows effective and faster monitoring of S. aureus contamination and can be applied to the rapid detection of microorganisms in milk and dairy products.

Abstract
On-site detection demands are quickly increasing to control foodborne pathogenic bacteria along with the long food supply chains. Combining the isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) with lateral flow strips (LFSs) is a promising molecular detection approach for the short reaction time, low isothermal condition, and simple and "instrument-free" procedure. However, the method comes with a non-negligible intrinsic risk of the primer-dependent artifacts. In this study, with an important foodborne pathogenic bacterium Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) as the model, system measures including the careful selection of primers targeting unique virulence genes, use of a probe in the RPA reaction, introducing base substitutions with specific guidelines in the primer and probe sequences, and analyzing and screening the primer-probe complex formation were taken to eliminate the primer-dependent artifacts. The measures were strictly tested for the efficacy, and the standardized method was able to specifically detect S. typhimurium within 30 min at 42°C without any interference of probe-primer signals. The established RPA-LFS method shared high sensitivity with the detection limit of 1 CFU/μl of unpurified culture. Our study provided practical measures for the prevention of false positive signals from primer-dimers or primer-probe complexes when using the RPA-LFS method in pathogen detections, and also established a readily applicable method for S. Typhimurium detection.

Abstract
In this work, a new platform for pathogen discrimination and killing based on a conjugated polymer-quantum dot hybrid material was designed and constructed through the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) process. The hybrid material comprises water-soluble anionic CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and a cationic poly(fluorene-alt-phenylene) derivative (PFP) through electrostatic interactions, thus promoting efficient FRET between PFP and QDs. Upon addition of different pathogen strains, the FRET from PFP to QDs was interrupted because of the competitive binding between PFP and the pathogens. Complexation of PFP and QDs also reduced the dark toxicity to a more desirable level, therefore potentially realizing the controllable killing of pathogens. The technique provides a promising theranostic platform in pathogen discrimination and disinfection based on FRET and phototoxicity of the PFP and QDs.

Front Microbiol 2020; 11:423.

Abstract
Exploring the relationships between free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) bacterial communities can provide insight into their connectivity and the partitioning of biogeochemical processes, which is crucial to understanding the elemental cycles and metabolic pathways in aquatic ecosystems. However, there is still intense debate about that whether FL and PA fractions have the same assemblage. To address this issue, we investigated the extent of similarity between FL and PA bacterial communities along the environmental gradients in Lake Wuli, China. Our results revealed that the west Lake Wuli was slightly eutrophic and the east lake was moderately and highly eutrophic. The alpha-diversity of the FL bacterial communities was significantly lower than that of the PA fraction in the west lake, whereas the alpha-diversity of the two fractions was comparable in the east lake. The beta-diversity of both communities significantly differed in the west lake, whereas it resembled that in the east lake. Moreover, functional prediction analysis highlighted the significantly larger differences of metabolic functions between the FL and PA fractions in the west lake than in the east lake. Suspended particles and carbon resource promote the similarity between the FL and PA fractions. Collectively, our result reveals a convergent succession of aquatic communities along the eutrophic gradient, highlighting that the connectivity between FL and PA bacterial communities is nutrient related.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to formulate a new single nonselective pre-enrichment medium (ELSS) that can support the concurrent growth of four major foodborne pathogens containing E. coli O157: H7, L. monocytogenes, S. aureus and S. enterica serovar Entertidis to develop a multiplex TaqMan Real-time PCR (mRT-PCR). Methods: The mRT-PCR with a new pre-enrichment was carried out for simultaneous detection and quantification of these foodborne bacteria. Results: By using mRT-PCR after 16 h pre-enrichment in ELSS, the detection limit of each pathogen was 1 CFU/25 ml contaminated milk, as well as inclusivity and exclusivity reached 100%. Conclusion: The mRT-PCR assay with pre-enrichment step is a fast and reliable technique for detecting single or multiple pathogens in food products.
