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.

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.

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.

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.

D’souza, Kenneth published the artcileWhey peptides stimulate differentiation and lipid metabolism in adipocytes and ameliorate lipotoxicity-induced insulin resistance in muscle cells, Recommanded Product: (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, the main research area is whey peptide lipid adipocyte lipotoxicity insulin resistance muscle cell; PPAR; adipocytes; differentiation; insulin resistance; lipolysis; lipotoxicity; metabolism; mitochondria; myocytes; whey peptides.

Deregulation of lipid metabolism and insulin function in muscle and adipose tissue are hallmarks of systemic insulin resistance, which can progress to type 2 diabetes. While previous studies suggested that milk proteins influence systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin function, it remains unclear whether bioactive peptides generated from whey alter lipid metabolism and its accumulation in muscle and adipose tissue. Therefore, we incubated murine 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and C2C12 myotubes with a whey peptide mixture produced through pepsin-pancreatin digestion, mimicking peptides generated in the gut from whey protein hydrolysis, and examined its effect on indicators of lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Whey peptides, particularly those derived from bovine serum albumin (BSA), promoted 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and triacylglycerol (TG) accumulation in accordance with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) upregulation. Whey/BSA peptides also increased lipolysis and mitochondrial fat oxidation in adipocytes, which was associated with the upregulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ). In C2C12 myotubes, whey but not BSA peptides ameliorated palmitate-induced insulin resistance, which was associated with reduced inflammation and diacylglycerol accumulation, and increased sequestration of fatty acids in the TG pool. Taken together, our study suggests that whey peptides generated via pepsin-pancreatin digestion profoundly alter lipid metabolism and accumulation in adipocytes and skeletal myotubes.

Yang, Huan published the artcileSigma-1 receptor ablation impedes adipocyte-like differentiation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts, Safety of (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, the main research area is sigma 1 adipocyte differentiation embryonic fibroblast; Adipogenic induction; Body weight gain; Mouse embryonic fibroblast; Sigma-1 receptor.

The sigma-1 receptor (Sig1R) is a unique ligand-operated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein without any mammalian homolog. It has long been a pharmacol. target for intervention of psychiatric disorders, and recently garnered refreshed interest for its neuroprotective potential. Though reported to modulate various intracellular events, its influence on cell identity is little known. We explored a role for Sig1R in adipocyte differentiation. We induced adipogenic differentiation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with a differentiation medium. MEFs were isolated from Sigmar1-/- and Sigmar1+/+ mice. The induced adipocyte-like phenotype was detected through Western blots of master transcription factors (PPARγ, CEBPA, SREBP1, SREBP2), lipogenic proteins (FABP4, ACC1, ACAT2), and Oil-Red-O staining of lipids. We found that the induced upregulation of these proteins and lipid accumulation were severely mitigated in Sigmar1-/- (vs Sigmar1+/+) MEFs. Sig1R activation with a selective agonist (PRE084) increased Sig1R protein and further enhanced the induced adipocyte-like phenotype in Sigmar1+/+ MEFs. We also determined mouse body weight gain induced by high-fat diet for 6 mo, which was impeded in Sigmar1-/- (vs Sigmar1+/+) male mice. In summary, genetic ablation of Sig1R impairs, and agonist activation of Sig1R enhances adipocyte-like phenotype of induced MEFs. In vivo, Sig1R ablation impedes the body weight gain of male mice on high-fat diet. This study warrants further investigation of a previously unrecognized role for Sig1R in adipocyte differentiation.

Quek, Lake-Ee published the artcileDynamic 13C Flux Analysis Captures the Reorganization of Adipocyte Glucose Metabolism in Response to Insulin, Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks, the main research area is metabolome insulin glucose metabolism adipocyte dynamic carbon flux analysis; Biological Sciences; Flux Data; Metabolic Flux Analysis; Metabolomics.

Cellular metabolism is dynamic, but quantifying non-steady metabolic fluxes by stable isotope tracers presents unique computational challenges. Here, we developed an efficient 13C-tracer dynamic metabolic flux anal. (13C-DMFA) framework for modeling central carbon fluxes that vary over time. We used B-splines to generalize the flux parameterization system and to improve the stability of the optimization algorithm. As proof of concept, we investigated how 3T3-L1 cultured adipocytes acutely metabolize glucose in response to insulin. Insulin rapidly stimulates glucose uptake, but intracellular pathways responded with differing speeds and magnitudes. Fluxes in lower glycolysis increased faster than those in upper glycolysis. Glycolysis fluxes rose disproportionally larger and faster than the tricarboxylic acid cycle, with lactate a primary glucose end product. The uncovered array of flux dynamics suggests that glucose catabolism is addnl. regulated beyond uptake to help shunt glucose into appropriate pathways. This work demonstrates the value of using dynamic intracellular fluxes to understand metabolic function and pathway regulation.

Winter, Klaus published the artcileEcophysiology of constitutive and facultative CAM photosynthesis, Application of (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, the main research area is review Kalanchoe crassulacean acid metabolism photosynthesis; Hatiora ; Kalanchoe ; Portulaca ; Acidity; carbon assimilation; evolution; facultative CAM; ontogeny; photosynthesis; photosynthetic intermediate.

In plants exhibiting crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), CAM photosynthesis almost always occurs together with C3 photosynthesis, and occasionally with C4 photosynthesis. Depending on species, ontogeny, and environment, CAM input to total carbon gain can vary from values of <1% to 100%. The wide range of CAM phenotypes between and within species is a fascinating example of functional diversity and plasticity, but poses a significant challenge when attempting to define CAM. CO2 gas exchange experiments designed for this review illustrate key patterns of CAM expression and highlight distinguishing features of constitutive and facultative CAM. Furthermore, they help to address frequently recurring questions on CAM terminol. The functional and evolutionary significance of contrasting CAM phenotypes and of intermediate states between extremes is discussed. Results from a study on nocturnal malate accumulation in 50 species of Aizoaceae exposed to drought and salinity stress suggest that facultative CAM is more widespread amongst vascular plants than previously thought. Journal of Experimental Botany published new progress about Aizoaceae. 97-67-6 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid, and the molecular formula is C4H6O5, Application of (S)-2-hydroxysuccinic acid.

Cheng, Shih-Chun published the artcileMetabolomic biomarkers in cervicovaginal fluid for detecting endometrial cancer through nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Computed Properties of 97-67-6, the main research area is metabolome biomarker cervicovaginal fluid endometrial cancer NMR spectroscopy; Biomarkers; Endometrial neoplasms; Magnetic resonance spectroscopy; Metabolomics.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecol. neoplasms in developed countries but lacks screening biomarkers. We aim to identify and validate metabolomic biomarkers in cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) for detecting EC through NMR (NMR) spectroscopy. We screened 100 women with suspicion of EC and benign gynecol. conditions, and randomized them into the training and independent testing datasets using a 5:1 study design. CVF samples were analyzed using a 600-MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a cryoprobe. Four machine learning algorithms-support vector machine (SVM), partial least squares discriminant anal. (PLS-DA), random forest (RF), and logistic regression (LR), were applied to develop the model for identifying metabolomic biomarkers in cervicovaginal fluid for EC detection. A total of 54 women were eligible for the final anal., with 21 EC and 33 non-EC. From 29 identified metabolites in cervicovaginal fluid samples, the top-ranking metabolites chosen through SVM, RF and PLS-DA which existed in independent metabolic pathways, i.e. phosphocholine, malate, and asparagine, were selected to build the prediction model. The SVM, PLS-DA, RF, and LR methods all yielded area under the curve values between 0.88 and 0.92 in the training dataset. In the testing dataset, the SVM and RF methods yielded the highest accuracy of 0.78 and the specificity of 0.75 and 0.80, resp. Phosphocholine, asparagine, and malate from cervicovaginal fluid, which were identified and independently validated through models built using machine learning algorithms, are promising metabolomic biomarkers for the detection of EC using NMR spectroscopy.
