Park JH, Kwon S, Choi SY, Kim B, Oh J. Optimizing the Amino Acid Sequence Enhances the Productivity and Bioefficacy of the RBP-Albumin Fusion Protein. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:617. [PMID: 38927853 PMCID: PMC11200973 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11060617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The significant growth of the global protein drug market, including fusion proteins, emphasizes the crucial role of optimizing amino acid sequences to enhance the productivity and bioefficacy. Among these fusion proteins, RBP-IIIA-IB, comprising retinol-binding protein in conjunction with the albumin domains, IIIA and IB, has displayed efficacy in alleviating liver fibrosis by inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). This study aimed to address the issue of the low productivity in RBP-IIIA-IB. To induce structural changes, the linking sequence, EVDD, between domain IIIA and IB in RBP-IIIA-IB was modified to DGPG, AAAA, and GGPA. Among these, RBP-IIIA-AAAA-IB demonstrated an increase in yield (>4-fold) and a heightened inhibition of HSC activation. Furthermore, we identified amino acid residues that could form disulfide bonds when substituted with cysteine. Through the mutation of N453S-V480S in RBP-IIIA-AAAA-IB, the productivity further increased by over 9-fold, accompanied by an increase in anti-fibrotic activity. Overall, there was a more than 30-fold increase in the fusion protein's yield. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of modifying linker sequences and introducing extra disulfide bonds to improve both the production yield and biological efficacy of fusion proteins.

Baicalin attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced intestinal inflammatory injury via suppressing PARP1-mediated NF-κB and NLRP3 signalling pathway. Toxicon 2024; 239:107612. [PMID: 38211803 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2024.107612] [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: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure is a key inducer of intestinal inflammatory injury in weaned piglets, resulting in decreased growth performance of pigs and causing severe economic losses to the swine industry; however, the mechanism of intestinal inflammatory injury is still unclear. Baicalin is one of the main active ingredients extracted from the natural plant Scutellaria baicalensis that has biological functions, including anti-inflammatory activity. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect and mechanism of baicalin intervention on intestinal inflammatory injury caused by bacterial LPS exposure. In the present study, network pharmacology, molecular docking and DARTS results identified that baicalin has the potential to target PARP1, thereby potentially regulating a series of inflammation-related pathways, including the MAPK, NF-κB and Toll-like receptor signalling pathways, which play the role of antagonizing LPS-induced intestinal inflammatory injury. Further application of the LPS-induced IPEC-J2 cell model validated the finding that baicalin could alleviate LPS-induced intestinal inflammatory injury by inhibiting the PARP1-mediated NF-κB and NLRP3 signalling pathway. These findings demonstrate that baicalin can regulate the expression of PARP1 and that PARP1 has the potential to serve as an effective therapeutic target in the LPS-induced intestinal inflammatory injury.

Integrating network pharmacology and experimental validation to explore the mechanisms of luteolin in alleviating fumonisin B1-induced intestinal inflammatory injury. Toxicon 2024; 237:107531.

Abstract
Contamination with fumonisin B1 (FB1) represents a global health problem. FB1 exposure may also trigger intestinal injury by activating inflammatory responses, leading to a reduction in production performance and economic benefits. However, the mechanism of FB1-induced intestinal inflammatory injury is still unclear. At the same time, it is urgent to develop antibiotic alternatives and therapeutic targets to alleviate antibiotic resistance and to ensure effective treatment of intestinal inflammatory injury. We combined network pharmacology and in vitro experiments to explore the core therapeutic targets and potential mechanism of luteolin in FB1-induced intestinal inflammatory injury. Network pharmacology and molecular docking revealed that nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-1β are the important targets, and the NF-κB and ERK signalling pathways are critical in FB1-induced intestinal inflammatory injury. Besides, in vitro experiments further demonstrated that luteolin can inhibit FB1-induced intestinal inflammatory injury by inhibiting activation of the NF-κB and ERK signalling pathways and reducing the expression of IL-6 and IL-1β in IPEC-J2 cells. We have comprehensively illustrated the potential targets and molecular mechanism by which luteolin can alleviate FB1-induced intestinal inflammatory injury. Luteolin may be an effective antibiotic alternative to prevent intestinal inflammatory injury.

Kinship analysis of mecA gene of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from milk and risk factors from the farmers in Blitar, Indonesia. Vet World 2024; 17:216-225. [PMID: 38406357 PMCID: PMC10884576 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2024.216-225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim There are numerous reports of subclinical mastitis cases in Blitar, which is consistent with the region's high milk production and dairy cattle population. Staphylococcus aureus, which is often the cause of mastitis cases, is widely known because of its multidrug-resistant properties and resistance to β-lactam antibiotic class, especially the methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains. This study aimed to molecular detection and sequence analysis of the mecA gene in milk and farmer's hand swabs to show that dairy cattle are reservoirs of MRSA strains. Materials and Methods A total of 113 milk samples and 39 farmers' hand swab samples were collected from a dairy farm for the isolation of S. aureus using Mannitol salt agar. The recovered isolates were further characterized using standard microbiological techniques. Isolates confirmed as S. aureus were tested for sensitivity to antibiotics. Oxacillin Resistance Screening Agar Base testing was used to confirm the presence of MRSA, whereas the mecA gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction and sequencing. Results A total of 101 samples were confirmed to be S. aureus. There were 2 S. aureus isolates that were multidrug-resistant and 14 S. aureus isolates that were MRSA. The mecA gene was detected in 4/14 (28.6%) phenotypically identified MRSA isolates. Kinship analysis showed identical results between mecA from milk and farmers' hand swabs. No visible nucleotide variation was observed in the two mecA sequences of isolates from Blitar, East Java. Conclusion The spread of MRSA is a serious problem because the risk of zoonotic transmission can occur not only to people who are close to livestock in the workplace, such as dairy farm workers but also to the wider community through the food chain.

Abstract
With the increasing focus on food security, a screening method with high-throughput, ultra-sensitivity, and user-friendly operation is urgently needed for monitoring of sulfonamides residues in animal-derived foods. In this study, the sulfonamides' receptor dihydropteroate synthase of Staphylococcus aureus was subjected to saturate mutation, and a mutant with higher affinities for sulfonamides was obtained. The mutant was then used as recognition material to establish a fluorescence polarization assay for determination of 35 sulfonamides in pork. Due to the use of an enhanced fluorescent tracer containing two fluorophore molecules, the sensitivities for the 35 sulfonamides were improved for 2.8-8.6 folds (LODs 0.03-1.16 ng/mL) in comparison with using conventional fluorescent tracer. The present method outperformed all previous fluorescence polarization (immuno)assays for sulfonamides due to its broader spectrum, higher sensitivity, and shorter assay time. Furthermore, this is the first study reporting an enhanced fluorescence polarization assay for determination of small molecule substance.

Abstract
Background At present, the treatment and prevention of Pasteurella multocida infections in pigs mainly rely on antibiotics and vaccines, but inflammatory injury cannot be eliminated. The compound 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid extracted from Glycyrrhiza glabra L. root (liquorice) and with a chemical structure similar to that of steroidal hormones, has become a research focus because of its anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective and neuroprotective effects, but its potential for the treatment of vascular endothelial inflammatory injury by P. multocida infections has not been evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of GA intervention in the treatment of vascular endothelial inflammatory injury by P. multocida infections. Materials and Methods Putative targets of GA intervention in the treatment of vascular endothelial inflammatory injury by P. multocida infections were identified using network pharmacological screening and molecular docking simulation. The cell viability of PIEC cells was investigated via the CCK-8 assay. The mechanism of GA intervention in the treatment of vascular endothelial inflammatory injury by P. multocida infections were investigated using cell transfection and western blot. Results Through network pharmacological screening and molecular docking simulation, this study found that PARP1 may be a core target for GA to exert anti-inflammatory effects. Mechanistically, GA alleviates P. multocida-induced vascular endothelial inflammation by PARP1-mediated NF-κB and HMGB1 signalling suppression. Conclusion These findings, for the first time, demonstrate the potential therapeutic relationship among GA, PARP1 and inflammatory injury, providing a candidate drug, therapeutic targets and explanation for treating vascular endothelial inflammatory injury caused by P. multocida infection.

Abstract
The consistently mutating bacterial genotypes appear to have accelerated the global challenge with antimicrobial resistance (AMR); it is therefore timely to investigate certain less-explored fields of targeting AMR mechanisms in bacterial pathogens. One of such areas is beta-lactamase (BLA) induction that can provide us with a collection of prospective therapeutic targets. The key genes (ampD, ampE and ampG) to which the AmpC induction mechanism is linked are also involved in regulating the production of fragmented muropeptides generated during cell-wall peptidoglycan recycling. Although the involvement of these genes in inducing class C BLAs is apparent, their effect on serine beta-lactamase (serine-BLA) induction is little known. Here, by using ∆ampD and ∆ampE mutants of E. coli, we attempted to elucidate the effects of ampD and ampE on the expression of serine-BLAs originating from Enterobacteriaceae, viz., CTX-M-15, TEM-1 and OXA-2. Results show that cefotaxime is the preferred inducer for CTX-M-15 and amoxicillin for TEM-1, whereas oxacillin for OXA-2. Surprisingly, exogenous BLA expressions are elevated in ∆ampD and ∆ampE mutants but do not always alter their beta-lactam susceptibility. Moreover, the beta-lactam resistance is increased upon in trans expression of ampD, whereas the same is decreased upon ampE expression, indicating a differential effect of ampD and ampE overexpression. In a nutshell, depending on the BLA, AmpD amidase moderately facilitates a varying level of serine-BLA expression whereas AmpE transporter acts likely as a negative regulator of serine-BLA.

Abstract
When two drugs are combined, drug-drug interactions (DDI) often occur. Metabolic DDI usually occur due to inhibition of the metabolism of one drug by the other. This leads to an increase in the plasma concentration of the drug whose metabolism is inhibited. The objective of this research study was to verify the DDI risk of two antibacterial, florfenicol (FF) and doxycycline (DOX) due to metabolism. Because food containing residues of any pharmacologically active substance could potentially constitute a public health hazard, we selected a food producing animal, goat, goat liver microsomes and recombinant metabolic enzymes, for in vivo and in vitro metabolism studies. In vitro experiments showed that CYP3A was the key enzyme subfamily in FF metabolism, DOX slowed down FF metabolism and R440 was possibly the key amino acid in the metabolic interaction between FF and DOX. In vivo studies in the goats showed that DOX inhibited up-regulation of CYP3A24 gene expression produced by FF; in liver and kidney, DOX slightly slowed down FF metabolism. Quantitative prediction of DDI risk suggest that when DOX is used in combination with FF in veterinary medicine, may result in a clinical significant increase of FF plasma and tissue concentrations, resulting a prevalence of harmful tissue residues of medicinal products in the food chain. Through our experimentation, when DOX is used in combination with FF, the withdrawal period of FF in the kidney was extended by 1 day. Otherwise, an appropriate withdrawal period (20 days) of FF was established for FF and DOX combined use to ensure that the animal can be safely slaughtered for food.

[PMID: 33066313 PMCID: PMC7602013 DOI: 10.3390/toxins12100655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2020] [Revised: 10/06/2020] [Accepted: 10/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Immunoassays are developed based on antigen–antibody interactions. A mimotope is an effective recognition receptor used to study the mechanism of action of antigens and antibodies, and is used for improving the sensitivity of the antibody. In this study, we built a 3D structure of the citrinin (CIT) mimotope X27 and anti-CIT single-chain antibody fragment (ScFv) through a “homologous modeling” strategy. Then, CIT and X27 were respectively docked to anti-CIT ScFv by using the “molecular docking” program. Finally, T28, F29, N30, R31, and Y32 were confirmed as the key binding sites in X27. Furthermore, the result of the phage-ELISA showed that the mutational phage lost the binding activity to the anti-CIT ScFv when the five amino acids were mutated to “alanine”, thereby proving the correctness of the molecular docking model. Lastly, a site-directed saturation strategy was adopted for the sites (T28, F29, N30, R31, and Y32). Eighteen different amino acids were introduced to each site on average. The activities of all mutants were identified by indirect competitive ELISA. The sensitivities of mutants T28F, T28I, F29I, F29V, N30T, and N30V were 1.83-, 1.37-, 1.70-, 2.96-, 1.31-, and 2.01-fold higher than that of the wild-type, respectively. In conclusion, the binding model between the CIT and antibody was elaborated for the first time based on the mimotope method, thereby presenting another strategy for improving the sensitivity of citrinin detection in immunoassays.

Construction of an Electrochemical Receptor Sensor Based on Graphene/Thionine for the Sensitive Determination of β-Lactam Antibiotics Content in Milk. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21093306. [PMID: 32392795 PMCID: PMC7246818 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21093306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2020] [Revised: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In antibiotics, β-lactam is one kind of major concern acknowledged as an unavoidable contaminant in milk. Thus, a facile and sensitive method is essential for rapid β-lactam antibiotics detection. In our work, a specific electrochemical receptor sensor based on the graphene/thionine (GO/TH) composite was established. The mechanism of the electrochemical receptor sensor was a direct competitive inhibition of the binding of horseradish peroxidase-labeled ampicillin (HRP-AMP) to the mutant BlaR-CTD protein by free β-lactam antibiotics. Then, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzed the hydrolysis of the substrate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which produced an electrochemical signal. Under optimal experimental conditions, this method could quantitatively detect cefquinome from 0.1 to 8 μg L−1 and with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.16 μg L−1, much lower than the maximum residue limit (MRL) of 5 μg L−1 set by the European Union. In addition, the LOD of spiked milk samples with cefalexin, cefquinoxime, cefotafur, penicillin G and ampicillin were 14.88 μg L−1, 2.46 μg L−1, 17.16 μg L−1, 0.06 μg L−1, 0.21 μg L−1 and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 36.09 μg L−1, 5.40 μg L−1, 41.45 μg L−1, 0.13 μg L−1, 0.42 μg L−1, respectively. The sensor showed a favorable recovery of 84.89–102.44%. Moreover, the electrochemical receptor sensor was successfully applied to assay β-lactam antibiotics in milk, which showed good correlation with the results obtained from liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
