Antony, Binu published the artcilePheromone receptor of the globally invasive quarantine pest of the palm tree, the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus), Formula: C5H12O, the main research area is Rhynchophorus ferrugineus pheromone receptor palm tree; Rhynchophorus ferrugineus ; aggregation pheromone; deorphanization; pheromone receptor; red palm weevil.

Palm trees are of immense economic, sociocultural, touristic, and patrimonial significance all over the world, and date palm-related knowledge, traditions, and practices are now included in UNESCOs list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Of all the pests that infest these trees, the red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), is its primary enemy. The RPW is a category-1 quarantine insect pest that causes enormous economic losses in palm tree cultivation worldwide. The RPW synchronizes mass gathering on the palm tree for feeding and mating, regulated by a male-produced pheromone composed of two methyl-branched compounds, (4RS, 5RS)-4-methylnonan-5-ol (ferrugineol) and 4(RS)-methylnonan-5-one (ferrugineone). Despite the importance of odorant detection in long-range orientation towards palm trees, palm colonization, and mating, the pheromone receptor has not been identified in this species. In this study, we report the identification and characterization of the first RPW pheromone receptor, RferOR1. Using gene silencing and functional expression in Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons, we demonstrate that RferOR1 is tuned to ferrugineol and ferrugineone and binds five other structurally related mols. We reveal the lifetime expression of RferOR1, which correlates with adult mating success irresp. of age, a factor that could explain the wide distribution and spread of this pest. As palm weevils are challenging to control based on conventional methods, elucidation of the mechanisms of pheromone detection opens new routes for mating disruption and the early detection of this pest via the development of pheromone receptor-based biosensors.

Zhang, Hong published the artcileCytotoxicity and degradation product identification of thermally treated ceftiofur, Name: 2,2-Dimethoxyethanamine, the main research area is ceftiofur cytotoxicity thermal treatment cell proliferation.

Ceftiofur (CEF) is a cephalosporin antibiotic and is a commonly used drug in animal food production As a heat-labile compound, the residual CEF toxicity after thermal treatment has rarely been reported. This study was to investigate the potential toxicity of thermally treated CEF and determine the toxic components. By cytotoxicity tests and liquid chromatog.-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) assays, the cytotoxicity of the thermally treated CEF (TTC) and the components of TTC was identified, resp. Our results showed that TTC exhibited significantly increased toxicity compared with CEF towards LO2 cells by inducing apoptosis. Through LC-MS assays, we identified that the toxic compound of TTC was CEF-aldehyde (CEF-1). The IC50 value of CEF-1 on LO2 cells treated for 24 h was 573.1μg mL-1, approx. 5.3 times lower than CEF (3052.0μg mL-1) and 3.4 times lower than TTC (1967.0μg mL-1). Moreover, we found that CEF-1 was also present in thermally treated desfuroylceftiofur (DFC), the primary metabolite of CEF, indicating that residual CEF or DFC could produce CEF-1 during the heating process. These findings suggest that CEF-1 is a newly identified toxic compound, and CEF-1 may pose a potential threat to food safety or public health.

Gu, Jinyan published the artcilePreparation, characterization and bioactivity of polysaccharide fractions from Sagittaria sagittifolia L., Formula: C6H12O6, the main research area is polysaccharide fraction Sagittaria sagittifolia antioxidant extraction; Antioxidant activity; Characterization; Fractional precipitation; Immunoactivity; Sagittaria sagittifolia L. polysaccharide; Ultrasonic assisted extraction.

To ascertain the preliminary structural characteristics and biol. activity of different fractions of polysaccharides from Sagittaria sagittifolia L. (SPCs) by ultrasonic assisted extraction (UAE), four new polysaccharides (SPC-60, SPC-70, SPC-80 and SPC-90) were successively fractionated by ethanol. The results implied that except for neutral sugar, four contained proteins and uronic acids in their structure, which were further confirmed by the UV and IR spectra. Mol. weight and monosaccharide composition anal. exhibited that SPC-60 (52.0 kDa), SPC-70 (294.9 kDa), SPC-80 (230.6 kDa) and SPC-90 (229.4 kDa) were a neutral polysaccharide composed of rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, glucose and galactose with dramatically different mole ratios. In addition, SPC-70 exhibited stronger antioxidant activity in vitro than the other three components. SPCs could significantly promote macrophage proliferation, NO release and phagocytosis. Thus, these results provided a reference for applications of S. sagittifolia L. polysaccharides which would benefit the development of industry and agriculture.

Reed, Kristi J. published the artcileDiethylene glycol and its metabolites induce cell death in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells in vitro, Application of 2,2′-Oxydiacetic acid, the main research area is diethylene glycol neuronal cell death neurotoxicity diglycolic acid HEAA; Diethylene glycol; Diglycolic acid; Hydroxyethoxyacetate; Neurotoxicity; SH-SY5Y cell death.

Diethylene glycol (DEG) intoxication results in metabolic acidosis, renal and hepatic dysfunction, and late-stage neurotoxicity. Though the renal and hepatic toxicity of DEG and its metabolites 2-hydroxyethoxyacetic acid (2-HEAA) and diglycolic acid (DGA) have been well characterized, the resultant neurotoxicity has not. SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were incubated with all 3 compounds at increasing concentrations for 24, 48, or 120 h. At all 3 time points, 50 mmol/L DGA and 100 mmol/L DEG showed significant Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) staining with addnl. concentrations showing similar staining patterns at 24 h (100 mmol/L DGA) and 48 h (50 mmol/L DEG, 100 mmol/L DGA). Only the 200 mmol/L 2-HEAA concentration induced SH-SY5Y cell death. Interestingly at 24 and 48 h, 100 mmol/L DEG induced significant increases in apoptotic cell death markers, which progressed to necrosis at 120 h. Similar to DEG, 50 mmol/L DGA induced significant increases in SH-SY5Y cell apoptosis and necrosis markers at both 24 and 48 h. As expected, high DGA concentrations (100 mmol/L) at 120 h induced significant SH-SY5Y cell necrosis with no apoptosis detected. However, at 120 h lower DGA concentrations (20 mmol/L) significantly increased oligonucleosome formation alone and in combination with 2-HEAA or DEG. Taken together, these results indicate that DGA and DEG at threshold concentrations induce neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells.

Qi, Zihe published the artcileEnhanced Cytotoxicity of Cadmium by a Sulfated Polysaccharide from Abalone, Product Details of C4H6O5, the main research area is cytotoxicity cadmium sulfated polysaccharide abalone lipid metabolism disorder; abalone gonadal polysaccharide; apoptosis; cadmium ion; cell cycle; lipidomics; metabolism.

Consumption of seafood is a common route of cadmium ion (Cd2+) exposure to consumers. The seafood matrixes may alter the toxicity profile of Cd2+ due to the interaction between Cd2+ and biomacromols. in seafood. In this study, enhanced cytotoxicity of Cd2+ was found in the presence of an abalone gonad sulfated polysaccharide (AGSP) and the mechanism was investigated at a metabolic level. The formation of the AGSP-Cd2+ complex was demonstrated by isothermal titration calorimetry. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased and mitochondrial membrane potential reduced upon exposure to the AGSP-Cd2+ complex as compared with those of Cd2+ exposure. The decreased cell viability after incubation with the AGSP-Cd2+ complex also suggested enhanced Cd2+ toxicity induced by AGSP. The metabolomics and lipidomics anal. revealed that, compared with the Cd2+ group, the AGSP-Cd2+ downregulated the phospholipid metabolism and resulted in more serious damage in the cellular membrane. The lipid metabolism disorder, in turn, amplified the generation of ROS, leading to a decrease in cell viability. These results provided new evidence of the enhanced Cd2+ toxicity upon interaction with seafood polysaccharides, and much attention should be paid to the effect of food ingredients on heavy metal ion toxicity.

Huo, Jiaying published the artcileStructural characterization and immuno-stimulating activities of a novel polysaccharide from Huangshui, a byproduct of Chinese Baijiu, Synthetic Route of 59-23-4, the main research area is Baijiu Huangshui polysaccharide phagocytosis macrophage mmunostimulant activity apoptosis; Bioactive substances; Cytokines; Heteropolysaccharide; NMR; Structural identification; THP-1 cells.

Huangshui (HS), a byproduct of Baijiu, has been widely studied for the utilization of aromatic compounds and microorganisms. However, there is little information on the bioactive polysaccharides in HS. In this study, a novel complex polysaccharide (HSP-2) composed of mannose, glucose, galactose, arabinose, xylose, and rhamnose at approx. percentages of 53.0, 29.6, 11.5, 2.7, 2.1, and 1.0, resp., was successfully extracted and purified from HS. The results of FT-IR, methylation anal., and NMR showed that the backbone of HSP-2 was â†?2)-β-D-Manp-(1 â†?2,6)-β-D-Manp-(1 â†?6)-α-D-Glcp-(1 â†?4)-α-L-Rhap-(1 â†?3,4)-α-L-Rhap-(1â†? In addition, HSP-2 showed significant immuno-stimulating effects via increasing the ROS and NO generation, and enhancing the pinocytic and phagocytic capacities of THP-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, HSP-2 treatment increased IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β secretion through activating the expression of the related mRNAs and proteins. These results will provide a mol. basis for immuno-stimulating effects of HSP-2 and lay a foundation for the potential application of HS in functional foods.

Giordano, Luca published the artcileAlternative oxidase attenuates cigarette smoke-induced lung dysfunction and tissue damage, Application of (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, the main research area is lung dysfunction tissue damage cigarette smoke alternative oxidase; COPD; alternative oxidase; cigarette smoke; mitochondria.

Cigarette smoke (CS) exposure is the predominant risk factor for the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the third leading cause of death worldwide. We aimed to elucidate whether mitochondrial respiratory inhibition and oxidative stress are triggers in its etiol. In different models of CS exposure, we investigated the effect on lung remodeling and cell signaling of restoring mitochondrial respiratory electron flow using alternative oxidase (AOX), which bypasses the cytochrome segment of the respiratory chain. AOX attenuated CS-induced lung tissue destruction and loss of function in mice exposed chronically to CS for 9 mo. It preserved the cell viability of isolated mouse embryonic fibroblasts treated with CS condensate, limited the induction of apoptosis, and decreased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In contrast, the early phase inflammatory response induced by acute CS exposure of mouse lung, i.e., infiltration by macrophages and neutrophils and adverse signaling, was unaffected. The use of AOX allowed us to obtain novel pathomechanistic insights into CS-induced cell damage, mitochondrial ROS production, and lung remodeling. Our findings implicate mitochondrial respiratory inhibition as a key pathogenic mechanism of CS toxicity in the lung. We propose AOX as a novel tool to study CS-related lung remodeling and potentially to counteract CS-induced ROS production and cell damage.

Miniero, Daniela Valeria published the artcileThe Interaction of Hemin, a Porphyrin Derivative, with the Purified Rat Brain 2-Oxoglutarate Carrier, Product Details of C4H6O5, the main research area is hemin porphyrin derivative rat brain oxoglutarate carrier; induced-fit molecular docking; inhibition; kinetic study; mitochondrial carrier; porphyrin derivatives; single binding centre gated pore mechanism.

The mitochondrial 2-oxoglutarate carrier (OGC), isolated and purified from rat brain mitochondria, was reconstituted into proteoliposomes to study the interaction with hemin, a porphyrin derivative, which may result from the breakdown of heme-containing proteins and plays a key role in several metabolic pathways. By kinetic approaches, on the basis of the single binding center gated pore mechanism, we analyzed the effect of hemin on the transport rate of OGC in uptake and efflux experiments in proteoliposomes reconstituted in the presence of the substrate 2-oxoglutarate. Overall, our exptl. data fit the hypothesis that hemin operates a competitive inhibition in the 0.5-10 μM concentration range. As a consequence of the OGC inhibition, the malate/aspartate shuttle might be impaired, causing an alteration of mitochondrial function. Hence, considering that the metabolism of porphyrins implies both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial processes, OGC may participate in the regulation of porphyrin derivatives availability and the related metabolic pathways that depend on them (such as oxidative phosphorylation and apoptosis). For the sake of clarity, a simplified model based on induced-fit mol. docking supported the in vitro transport assays findings that hemin was as good as 2-oxoglutarate to bind the carrier by engaging specific ionic hydrogen bond interactions with a number of key residues known for participating in the similarly located mitochondrial carrier substrate binding site.

Du, Zheng-De published the artcileNADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin decreases mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in the ventral cochlear nucleus of D-galactose-induced aging model in rats, Safety of (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is NADPH oxidase inhibitor galactose apocynin mitochondrial dysfunction apoptosis aging; Apocynin; Apoptosis; Central presbycusis; D-galactose; Mitochondrial dysfunction; NADPH oxidase.

Presbycusis has become a common sensory deficit in humans. Oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA and mitochondrial dysfunction is strongly associated with the aging of the auditory system. A previous study established a mimetic rat model of aging using D-galactose (D-gal) and first reported that NADPH oxidase-dependent mitochondrial oxidative damage and apoptosis in the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN) might contribute to D-gal-induced central presbycusis. In this study, we investigated the effects of apocynin, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, on mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Our data showed that apocynin decreased NADPH oxidase activity, H2O2 levels, mitochondrial DNA common deletion, and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) expression and increased total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Moreover, apocynin also decreased the protein levels of phospho-p47phox (p-p47phox), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Meanwhile, apocynin alleviated mitochondrial ultrastructure damage and enhanced ATP production and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) levels in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Furthermore, apocynin inhibited cytochrome c (Cyt c) translocation from mitochondria to the cytoplasm and suppressed caspase 3-dependent apoptosis in the VCN of D-gal-induced aging model in rats. Consequently, our findings suggest that neuronal survival promoted by an NADPH oxidase inhibitor is a potentially effective method to enhance the resistance of neurons to central presbycusis.
