Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:133932. [PMID: 39025173 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-asparagine to L-aspartic acid and ammonia and is used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is also toxic to the cells of some solid tumors, including melanoma cells. Immobilization of this enzyme can improve its activity against melanoma tumor cells. In this work, the properties of bacterial cellulose (BC) and feasibility of BC films as a new carrier for immobilized L-ASNase were investigated. Different values of growth time were used to obtain BC films with different thicknesses and porosities, which determine the water content and the ability to adsorb and release L-ASNase. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the adsorption of the enzyme on the BC films. The total activity of adsorbed L-ASNase and its release were investigated for films grown for 48, 72 or 96 h. BC films grown for 96 h showed the most pronounced release as described by zero-order and Korsmayer-Peppas models. The release was characterized by controlled diffusion where the drug was released at a constant rate. BC films with immobilized L-ASNase could induce cytotoxicity in A875 human melanoma cells. With further development, immobilization of L-ASNase on BC may become a potent strategy for anticancer drug delivery to superficial tumors.

Improved L-Asparaginase Properties and Reusability by Immobilization onto Functionalized Carbon Xerogels. Chempluschem 2024:e202400025. [PMID: 38436967 DOI: 10.1002/cplu.202400025] [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: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Enzyme immobilization can offer a range of significant advantages, including reusability, and increased selectivity, stability, and activity. In this work, a central composite design (CCD) of experiments and response surface methodology (RSM) were used to study, for the first time, the L-asparaginase (ASNase) immobilization onto functionalized carbon xerogels (CXs). The best results were achieved using CXs obtained by hydrothermal oxidation with nitric acid and subsequent heat treatment in a nitrogen flow at 600 °C (CX-OX-600). Under the optimal conditions (81 min of contact time, pH 6.2 and 0.36 g/L of ASNase), an immobilization yield (IY) of 100 % and relative recovered activity (RRA) of 103 % were achieved. The kinetic parameters obtained also indicate a 1.25-fold increase in the affinity of ASNase towards the substrate after immobilization. Moreover, the immobilized enzyme retained 97 % of its initial activity after 6 consecutive reaction cycles. All these outcomes confirm the promising properties of functionalized CXs as support for ASNase, bringing new insights into the development of an efficient and stable immobilization platform for use in the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, and biosensors.

Enhancement of enzyme activity by laser-induced energy propulsion of upconverting nanoparticles under near-infrared light: A comprehensive methodology for in vitro and in vivo applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129343.

Abstract
If the appropriate immobilization method and carrier support are not selected, partial decreases in the activity of enzymes may occur after immobilization. Herein, to overcome this challenge, an excitation mechanism that enables energy transfer was proposed. Modified upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) were constructed and the important role of near-infrared (NIR) excitation in enhancing the catalytic activity of the enzyme was demonstrated. For this purpose, UCNPs were first synthesized via the hydrothermal method, functionalized with isocyanate groups, and then, PEG-L-ASNase was immobilized via covalent binding. UCNPs with and without PEG-L-ASNase were extensively characterized by different methods. These supports had immobilization yield and activity efficiency of >96 % and 78 %, respectively. Moreover, immobilized enzymes exhibited improved pH, thermal, and storage stability. In addition, they retained >65 % of their initial activity even after 20 catalytic cycles. Biochemical and histological findings did not indicate a trend of toxicity in rats due to UCNPs. Most importantly, PEG-L-ASNase activity was triggered approximately 5- and 2-fold under in vitro and in vivo conditions, respectively. Overall, it is anticipated that this pioneering work will shed new light on the realistic and promising usage of NIR-excited UCNPs for the immobilization of enzymes in expensive and extensive applications.

Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2024; 196:971-991.

Abstract
In this study, the third-generation polyamidoamine dendrimer was functionalized with a 5-amino-1H-tetrazole heterocycle to load the synthesis enzyme and its surface groups. Then, chitosan was attached to the dendrimer by a suitable linker, and finally, zinc oxide nanoparticles were inserted into dendrimer cavities to increase loading. FTIR, FESEM, TEM, and DLS analysis showed that this new dendrimer has specific branches, and ZnO nanoparticles were spread between the branches and connected with the branches and chitosan biopolymer. Also proved the presence of stabilized L-asparaginase enzyme and ZnO nanoparticles in the designed system. Furthermore, the extent of L-asparaginase enzyme loading and release was investigated in the laboratory with a dialysis bag. Examining the toxicity of the new third-generation polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimeric nanocarrier based on chitosan-zinc oxide biopolymer (PAMAM-G3@ZnO-Cs nanocarrier) on the Jurkat cell line (human acute lymphoblastic leukemia) at pH 7.4 showed that this nanocarrier effectively encapsulates the drug L-asparaginase and slowly releases it and also preventing the growth of cancer cells. The activity of the loaded enzyme in the nanocarrier and the free enzyme was calculated. During the investigations, it was found that the enzyme attached to the nanocarrier is more stable than the free enzyme at optimal pH and temperature and at high temperatures, acidic and basic pHs. Vmax and Km values were lower for loaded enzymes. The synthesized PAMAM-G3@ZnO-Cs nanocarrier can be a promising candidate in the pharmaceutical industry and medical science for cancer treatment due to its biocompatibility, non-toxicity, stability, and slow release of L-asparaginase.
