Abstract
Proteomic analysis of human cerebral organoids may reveal how psychedelics regulate biological processes, shedding light on drug-induced changes in the brain. This study elucidates the proteomic alterations induced by lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in human cerebral organoids. By employing high-resolution mass spectrometry-based proteomics, we quantitatively analyzed the differential abundance of proteins in cerebral organoids exposed to LSD. Our findings indicate changes in proteostasis, energy metabolism, and neuroplasticity-related pathways. Specifically, LSD exposure led to alterations in protein synthesis, folding, autophagy, and proteasomal degradation, suggesting a complex interplay in the regulation of neural cell function. Additionally, we observed modulation in glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, crucial for cellular energy management and synaptic function. In support of the proteomic data, complementary experiments demonstrated LSD's potential to enhance neurite outgrowth in vitro, confirming its impact on neuroplasticity. Collectively, our results provide a comprehensive insight into the molecular mechanisms through which LSD may affect neuroplasticity and potentially contribute to therapeutic effects for neuropsychiatric disorders.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the synthesis of nano-oxali-palladium coated with turmeric extract (PdNPs) using a green chemistry technique based on the reduction in the Pd (II) complex by phytochemicals inherent in turmeric extract. PdNPs were examined and characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Using different spectroscopic and molecular dynamics simulations, a protein-binding analysis of the produced nanoparticle was conducted by observing its interaction with human serum albumin (HSA). Lastly, the cytotoxic effects and apoptotic processes of PdNPs were studied against the HCT116 human colorectal cell line using the MTT assay and flow cytometry tests. According to the findings, PdNPs with spherical and homogenous morphology and a size smaller than 100 nm were generated. In addition, they can induce apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner with a lower Cc50 (78 µL) than cisplatin and free oxali-palladium against HCT116 cells. The thermodynamic characteristics of protein binding of nanoparticles with HSA demonstrated that PdNPs had a great capacity for quenching and interacting with HSA through hydrophobic forces. In addition, molecular dynamics simulations revealed that free oxali-palladium and PdNP attach to the same area of HSA via non-covalent interactions. It is conceivable to indicate that the synthesized PdNPs are a potential candidate for the construction of novel, nature-based anticancer treatments with fewer side effects and a high level of eco-friendliness.

Finding New Molecular Targets of Two Copper(II)-Hydrazone Complexes on Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells Using Mass-Spectrometry-Based Quantitative Proteomics. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24087531. [PMID: 37108690 PMCID: PMC10139133 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24087531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with a high incidence estimated to reach 2.3 million by 2030. Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is the greatest invasive class of breast cancer with a poor prognosis, due to the side-effects exerted by the chemotherapy used and the low effectivity of novel treatments. In this sense, copper compounds have shown to be potentially effective as antitumor agents, attracting increasing interest as alternatives to the usually employed platinum-derived drugs. Therefore, the aim of this work is to identify differentially expressed proteins in MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to two copper(II)-hydrazone complexes using label-free quantitative proteomics and functional bioinformatics strategies to identify the molecular mechanisms through which these copper complexes exert their antitumoral effect in TNBC cells. Both copper complexes increased proteins involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response, as well as the downregulation of proteins related to DNA replication and repair. One of the most relevant anticancer mechanisms of action found for CuHL1 and CuHL2 was the down-regulation of gain-of-function-mutant p53. Moreover, we found a novel and interesting effect for a copper metallodrug, which was the down-regulation of proteins related to lipid synthesis and metabolism that could lead to a beneficial decrease in lipid levels.

Gold(III) Complexes with Phenanthroline-derivatives Ligands Induce Apoptosis in Human Colorectal and Breast Cancer Cell Lines. J Pharm Sci 2022; 111:3215-3223.

Abstract
Due to their promising effects, gold(III) complexes recently drew increasing attention in the design of new metal-based anticancer therapeutics. Two gold(III) complexes, square-planar [Au(DPP)Cl2]+ - Complex 1 and distorted square-pyramidal [Au(DMP)Cl3] - Complex 2 (where DPP=4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline and DMP=2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) were previously synthetized, described and approved as complexes with pronounced cytotoxic effects on colorectal HCT-116 and breast MDA-MB-231 cancer cells. This study investigated the type of cell death by AO/EB double staining, and identification of possible targets responsible for their cytotoxicity, monitored by immunofluorescence and qPCR methods. Both complexes induced apoptosis in all applied concentrations. In the HCT-116 cells apoptosis was activated by external apoptotic pathway, via increase of Fas receptor protein expression and Caspase 8 gene expression. Also, the mitochondrial pathway was triggered by affecting the Bcl-2 members of regulatory proteins and increased caspase 9 protein expression. In MDA-MB-231 cells, apoptosis was initiated from the mitochondria, due to disbalance between expressions of pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members and caspase 9 activation. Complex 1 shows better activity compared to Complex 2, which is in accordance with its structural characteristics. The results deal weighty data about proapoptotic activity of gold(III) complexes and highlighted potential targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Two novel metal complexes, that is, Ni (StmAn)2(4) and Cu (StmAn)2(5), were synthesized from unsymmetrical Schiff base ligand StmAn (3). The ligand was prepared by refluxing streptomycin (2) and aniline (1). They were characterized by elemental microanalysis, conductivity measurements, and spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR, FT-IR, ESI-mass, and electronic absorption spectral study. Interestingly, the study revealed metal coordination through azomethine nitrogen and N-atom of NH-CH3 of N-methyl-L-glucosamine unit of streptomycin. The electronic absorption spectral study supported an octahedral geometry for complex 4 and a tetrahedral geometry for complex 5. Particle size calculation by Scherrer’s formula indicated their nanocrystalline nature. The geometry optimization of the complexes was achieved by running an MM2 job in Gaussian supported Cs-ChemOffice ultra-12.0.1 and ArgusLab 4.0.1 version software. Based on SwissADME predictions, a theoretical drug profile was generated by analyzing absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) scores of the compounds. They were screened for in vitro antibacterial activity study against four clinical pathogens such as E. coli, S. pneumoniae, P. vulgaris, and S. aureus. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) study demonstrated greater inhibitory potency of complex (4) (0.024 g/L) for S. aureus relative to ligand (3) and complex (5). Studies show that metal complexes are more toxic to bacteria.

Abstract
The engineered “obligate” anaerobic Salmonella typhimurium strain YB1 shows a prominent ability to repress tumor growth and metastasis, which has great potential as a novel cancer immunotherapy. However, the antitumor mechanism of YB1 remains unelucidated. To resolve the proteome dynamics induced by the engineered bacteria, we applied tumor temporal proteome profiling on murine bladder tumors after intravenous injection of either YB1 or PBS as a negative control. Our data suggests that during the two weeks treatment of YB1 injections, the cured tumors experienced three distinct phases of the immune response. Two days after injection, the innate immune response was activated, particularly the complement and blood coagulation pathways. In the meantime, the phagocytosis was initiated. The professional phagocytes such as macrophages and neutrophils were recruited, especially the infiltration of iNOS+ and CD68+ cells was enhanced. Seven days after injection, substantial amount of T cells was observed at the invasion margin of the tumor. As a result, the tumor shrunk significantly. Overall, the temporal proteome profiling can systematically reveal the YB1 induced immune responses in tumor, showing great promise for elucidating the mechanism of bacteria-mediated cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
This current research aimed to establish the most required pharmacodynamics parameters of two transition metal complexes of an antimicrobial drug secnidazole. The spectroscopic fluorescence quenching strategy was outlined to evaluate the binding mechanism and binding affinity of nickel (II) and chromium (III) complexes of secnidazole with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The conformational modifications and the interacting patterns of the protein due to the interaction of the parent compound of the metal complexes have been investigated by molecular docking approach. The ligand-protein interactions were confirmed by the spectral quelling of the serum protein's intensity in the presence of metal chelate of secnidazole. The quenching mechanism was an endothermic dynamic process. The calculated thermodynamic factors delineated van der Waals interactions mainly influenced the spontaneous process. The UV-fluorescence curves were studied to establish the energy transformation profile according to the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) theory. The double-logarithm plot exhibited the binding number that ensured the drug-protein interaction was at a 1:1 ratio. The compared binding constants dictated that both metal chelates gained higher binding affinity, longer half-life, and achieved the capacity to show the pharmacological effects by a lower dose than the parent molecule.

Abstract
Among neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common disorders showing slow progressive cognitive decline. Targeting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is one of the major strategies for AD therapeutics, as cholinergic pathways in the cerebral cortex and basal forebrain are compromised. Herein, we report the design of some copper and other metal based donepezil derivatives, employing density functional theory (DFT). All designed compounds are optimized at the B3LYP/SDD level of theory. Dipole moments, electronic energie, enthalpies, Gibbs free energies, and HOMO-LUMO gaps of these modified compounds are also investigated in the subsequent analysis. The molecules were then subjected to molecular docking analysis with AChE to study the molecular interactions broadly. Ensemble based docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the best candidates were also performed. Docking and MD simulation reveal that modified drugs are more potent than unmodified donepezil, where Trp86, Tyr337, Phe330 residues play some important roles in drug-receptor interactions. According to ensemble based docking, D9 shows greater binding affinity compared to the parent in most conformations obtained from protein data bank and MD simulation. In addition, it is observed that the π- π stacking with the residues of Trp86, Tyr337, Tyr341, Tyr124 and Trp286 may be required for strong ligand binding. Moreover, ADME/T analysis suggests that modified derivatives are less toxic and have improved pharmacokinetic properties than those of the parent drug. These results further confirm the ability of metal-directed drugs to bind simultaneously to the active sites of AChE and support them as potential candidates for the future treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Two new metal complexes of general formula M(Haαft)2[M =NiIIandCuII] of asymmetrical Schiff base ligand (HL = Haαft) derived from amoxicillin andα-formylthiophene have been prepared and characterized by various physicochemical and spectral techniques. Molar conductance measurement indicates nonelectrolytic nature of the metal complexes. FT-IR spectral study reveals the ligation of metal ions at two different nitrogen [NN] donor sites of Haαft. FT-IR and electronic absorption spectral evidences suggest distorted tetrahedral and square planar geometry forCuIIandNiIIcomplexes, respectively. The structure optimization by molecular mechanics (MM) force field calculation through ArgusLab 4.0.1 version software also supports the concerned geometry of the complexes. The cell dimensions as suggested by XRPD study,a(6.753 Å),b(13.904 Å),c(20.122 Å),α(142.76°),β(106.580°), andγ(72.4343°) forCuIIanda(24.2547 Å),b(6.6371 Å),c(5.5047 Å) (α=β=γ= 90°) forNiIIcomplexes, are in good agreement with their triclinic and orthorhombic crystal systems. Particle size calculation by Scherrer’s formula indicates nanocrystalline nature of the complexes. The antibacterial sensitivity study suggests promising activities of Haαft (Ligand) and M(Haαft)2complexes against four clinical pathogenic bacteria, namely,E. coli,P. vulgaris,P. aeruginosa, andS. aureus, though being less active than the standard drug amikacin.

Abstract
Metal(II) chelates of Schiff bases derived from the condensation of 4-morpholinoaniline with substituted salicylaldehyde have been prepared and characterized by (1)H NMR, IR, electronic, EPR, and magnetic measurement studies. The complexes are of the type M(X-MPMP)2 [where M=Cu(II), Co(II)), Zn(II), or VO(IV); MPMP=2-[(4 morpholinophenyl imino) methyl] 4-X-phenol, X=Cl, (L1H), X=Br (L2H)]. Single crystal X-ray crystallography studies confirm the structure of newly synthesized Schiff bases. The Schiff bases act as bidentate monobasic ligands, coordinating through deprotonated phenolic oxygen and azomethine nitrogen atoms. The free ligands and metal complexes are screened for their biopotency. Metal complexes exhibit better activity than ligands. Anticancer activity of ligands and their metal complexes are evaluated in human heptocarcinoma(HepG2) cells. The preliminary bioassay indicates that the Schiff base and its zinc complex exhibit inhibitory activity against the human gastric cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapy is the primary treatment for human ovarian cancer. Overcoming platinum resistance has become a critical issue in the current chemotherapeutic strategies of ovarian cancer as drug resistance is the main reason for treatment failure. Cytotoxic gold compounds hold great promise to reach this goal; however, their modes of action are still largely unknown. To shed light on the underlying molecular mechanisms, we performed 2-DE and MS analysis to identify differential protein expression in a cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cell line (A2780/R) following treatment with two representative gold compounds, namely Auranofin and Auoxo6. It is shown that Auranofin mainly acts by altering the expression of Proteasome proteins while Auoxo6 mostly modifies proteins related to mRNA splicing, trafficking and stability. We also found that Thioredoxin-like protein 1 expression is greatly reduced after treatment with both gold compounds. These results are highly indicative of the likely sites of action of the two tested gold drugs and of the affected cellular functions. The implications of the obtained results are thoroughly discussed in the frame of current knowledge on cytotoxic gold agents.

Abstract
Sodium selenite can induce the apoptosis of cancer cells, however its mechanism has seldom been studied via proteomics. In this paper, human cervical cancer HeLa cells were investigated by MTT assay and morphological observation to get appropriate selenite concentrations for proteomic study. Results showed that selenite at concentrations larger than 10 μmol/L significantly inhibited the viability of HeLa cells. 40 μmol/L selenite was in the appropriate range for proteomic study. After 24 h treatment with 40 μmol/L selenite, total proteins were extracted from the cells and applied to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE). Those proteins with their expression levels altered at least 2-fold comparing to the control were picked up for protein identification via MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and further confirmed by Western blot analysis. About 1000 spots were detected by the software in each 2DE gel, among which 13 differentially expressed proteins were identified by mass spectrometry and most of them are relevant to oxidative stress, such as peroxiredoxins, superoxide dismutase, quinolinate phosphoribosyl transferase, and D-dopachrome tautomerase. Meanwhile, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential were also detected by flow cytometry and laser confocal scanning microscope. An increase in ROS generation and a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential were detected in the selenite-treated cells compared with the control, which are consistent with the down-expression of antioxidative proteins in proteomics. Those results indicate that selenite induces the apoptosis of HeLa cells via ROS-mediated mitochondrial pathway. The present study also implies the potentiality of selenium in cervical cancer treatment.

Abstract
Lanthanides possess diverse biological effect and have been shown to promote cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. Our previous studies showing that lanthanide citrate complex has significant antitumor activity in human cervical cancer HeLa cells. This study aims at determining if [LaCit(2)](3-) have the activity against another type of human cervical cancer cell line SiHa and the changes in protein expression that contribute to the mechanism(s) of [LaCit(2)](3-)-mediated apoptosis in SiHa cells. Cell growth inhibition was measured by MTT method, and apoptosis was detected by means of Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry analysis. After [LaCit(2)](3-)-treatment the results show that the growth of SiHa cells was inhibited, the cells displayed typical apoptosis morphological changes, and increase in the rates of apoptosis. Using proteomics approaches, a variety of differentially expressed proteins were identified in SiHa cells before and after treatment with [LaCit(2)](3-). There were profound changes in 10 proteins relating to mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in [LaCit(2)](3-)-induced apoptosis. This was confirmed by a decrease in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Δψ(m)), and increases in H(2)O(2) generation in [LaCit(2)](3-)-treated cells. Among them the alerted proteins, Prx I, ANXA1 and TRAF5 were validated by western blotting analyses. These results suggest that there is an intrinsic molecular pathway of cell apoptosis in [LaCit(2)](3-)-treated SiHa cells. This observation is in accordance with our previous reports about the effects of [LaCit(2)](3-) and [YbCit(2)](3-) on HeLa cells and it provide a molecular mechanism underlying lanthanide citrate complex-mediated cell apoptosis.

Abstract
This review aims to bring the reader up to date with the more recent ruthenium compounds that have been synthesized and tested for their cytotoxicity. The chemistry of these transition metal complexes will be introduced and the basic principles that govern their common behavior outlined. The recent history of established compounds within this field will be presented alongside those that now represent the cutting-edge. The inherent variety within this class of compounds will lead the reader to appreciate their diversity and pose questions as to their similarities aside from the presence of a shared metal ion. This review aims to discuss and contextualize the state-of-the-art research within the context of the speculative advancement of this developing field. There is an evident need to specify the molecular and cellular targets of these drug molecules in order to ultimately elucidate their mode or modes of action. The evidence presented herein suggests that new avenues of research require novel analytical probes and methods for tracing the fate of ruthenium complexes in cells in order to understand their very promising cytotoxic activity.
