[PMID: 39000492 PMCID: PMC11242736 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 07/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress can damage neuronal cells, greatly contributing to neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). In this study, the protective activity of arzanol, a natural prenylated α-pyrone-phloroglucinol heterodimer, was evaluated against the H2O2-induced oxidative damage in trans-retinoic acid-differentiated (neuron-like) human SH-SY5Y cells, widely used as a neuronal cell model of neurological disorders. The pre-incubation (for 2 and 24 h) with arzanol (5, 10, and 25 μM) significantly preserved differentiated SH-SY5Y cells from cytotoxicity (MTT assay) and morphological changes induced by 0.25 and 0.5 mM H2O2. Arzanol reduced the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by 2 h oxidation with H2O2 0.5 mM, established by 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate assay. The 2 h incubation of differentiated SH-SY5Y cells with H2O2 determined a significant increase in the number of apoptotic cells versus control cells, evaluated by propidium iodide fluorescence assay (red fluorescence) and NucView® 488 assay (green fluorescence). Arzanol pre-treatment (2 h) exerted a noteworthy significant protective effect against apoptosis. In addition, arzanol was tested, for comparison, in undifferentiated SH-SY5Y cells for cytotoxicity and its ability to protect against H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Furthermore, the PubChem database and freely accessible web tools SwissADME and pkCSM-pharmacokinetics were used to assess the physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties of arzanol. Our results qualify arzanol as an antioxidant agent with potential neuroprotective effects against neuronal oxidative stress implicated in NDs.

Evaluation of Human Platelet Lysate as an Alternative to Fetal Bovine Serum for Potential Clinical Applications of Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth. Cells 2024; 13:847. [PMID: 38786069 PMCID: PMC11120611 DOI: 10.3390/cells13100847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a surge in demand for and research focus on cell therapy, driven by the tissue-regenerative and disease-treating potentials of stem cells. Among the candidates, dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) or human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) have garnered significant attention due to their easy accessibility (non-invasive), multi-lineage differentiation capability (especially neurogenesis), and low immunogenicity. Utilizing these stem cells for clinical purposes requires careful culture techniques such as excluding animal-derived supplements. Human platelet lysate (hPL) has emerged as a safer alternative to fetal bovine serum (FBS) for cell culture. In our study, we assessed the impact of hPL as a growth factor supplement for culture medium, also conducting a characterization of SHED cultured in hPL-supplemented medium (hPL-SHED). The results showed that hPL has effects in enhancing cell proliferation and migration and increasing cell survivability in oxidative stress conditions induced by H2O2. The morphology of hPL-SHED exhibited reduced size and elongation, with a differentiation capacity comparable to or even exceeding that of SHED cultured in a medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS-SHED). Moreover, no evidence of chromosome abnormalities or tumor formation was detected. In conclusion, hPL-SHED emerges as a promising candidate for cell therapy, exhibiting considerable potential for clinical investigation.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 271:115966. [PMID: 38219620 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.115966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Aluminum (Al) is a common neurotoxicant in the environment, but the molecular mechanism of its toxic effects is still unclear. Studies have shown that aluminum exposure causes an increase in neuronal apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism and signaling pathway of neuronal apoptosis induced by aluminum exposure. The rat model was established by intraperitoneal injection of maltol aluminum for 90 days. The results showed that the escape latency of the three groups exposed to maltol aluminum was higher than that of the control group on the 3rd, 4th and 5th days of the positioning cruise experiment (P < 0.05). On the 6th day of the space exploration experiment, compared with the control group(6.00 ± 0.71,15.33 ± 1.08) and the low-dose group(5.08 ± 1.69,13.67 ± 1.09), the number of times that the high-dose group crossed the platform(2.25 ± 0.76) and the platform quadrant(7.58 ± 1.43) was significantly reduced (P < 0.01). The relative expression levels of Sirt1 and Nrf2 in hippocampal tissues of all groups decreased gradually with increasing maltol aluminum exposure dose the relative expression levels of Sirt1 and Nrf2 in high-dose group (0.261 ± 0.094,0.325 ± 0.108) were significantly lower than those in control group (1.018 ± 0.222,1.009 ± 0.156)(P < 0.05). The relative expression level of Keap1 increased gradually with increasing maltol aluminum exposure dose (P < 0.05). The relative expression level of miR-128-3p in the high-dose group(1.520 ± 0.280) was significantly higher than that in the control group(1.000 ± 0.420) (P < 0.05). The content of GSH-Px in the hippocampus of rats decreased with increasing dose. ROS levels gradually increased. We speculated that subchronic aluminum exposure may lead to the activation of miR-128-3p in rat hippocampus of rats, thereby inhibiting the Sirt1-Keap1/Nrf2 pathway so that the Sirt1-Keap1/Nrf2 pathway could not be activated to exert antioxidant capacity, resulting in an imbalance in the antioxidant system of rats and the apoptosis of neurons, which caused reduced cognitive impairment in rats.

J Cancer 2024; 15:1124-1137. [PMID: 38230207 PMCID: PMC10788729 DOI: 10.7150/jca.91360] [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: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Unrestrained chronic inflammation leads to the abnormal activity of NOX4 and the subsequent production of excessive hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Excessive H2O2 signaling triggered by prolonged inflammation is thought to be one of the important reasons for the progression of some types of cancer including cervical cancer. Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) is a member of the water channel protein family, and it remains unknown whether AQP3 can regulate the transmembrane transport of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 4 (NOX4)-derived H2O2 induced by the stimulation of inflammatory factors to facilitate the malignant progression in cervical cancer. In this study, cervical cancer HeLa cell line was respectively treated with diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) or lentivirus-shRNA- AQP3. Plate cloning, cell migration or transwell invasion assays, etc. were performed to detect the invasive and migration ability of the cells. Western blot and CO-IP were used to analyze the mechanism of AQP3 regulating H2O2 conduction. Finally, in vivo assays were performed for validation in nude mice. AQP3 Knockdown, DPI or NAC treatments all reduced intracellular H2O2 influx, and the activation of Syk/PI3K/Akt signal axis was inhibited, the migration and invasive ability of the cells was attenuated. In vivo assays confirmed that the excessive H2O2 transport through AQP3 enhanced the infiltration and metastasis of cervical cancer. These results suggest that AQP3 activates H2O2/Syk/PI3K/Akt signaling axis through regulating NOX4-derived H2O2 transport to contribute to the progression of cervical cancer, and AQP3 may be a potential target for the clinical treatment of advanced cervical cancer.
