Fullerene derivatives induce premature senescence: A new toxicity paradigm or novel biomedical applications

Engineered fullerenes (C₆₀) are extensively used for commercial and clinical applications based on their unique physicochemical properties. Such materials have also been recognized as byproducts of many industrial activities. Functionalization of C₆₀ may significantly influence the nature of its interactions with biological systems, impacting its applications and raising uncertainties about its health effects. In the present study, we compared the bioimpact of two chemically modified fullerene derivatives, hexa carboxyl fullerene adduct (Hexa-C₆₀) and tris carboxyl fullerene adduct (tris-C₆₀) to pristine fullerene C₆₀ encapsulated with gamma (γ)-cyclodextrin C₆₀ (CD-C₆₀), using human cutaneous epithelial cells (HEK) to simulate possible applications and occupational dermal exposure route. We report, for the first time, the discovery of premature senescence as a potential endpoint of nanomaterial elicited biological effects, providing a new paradigm for nanoparticle-induced toxicity in human cells. Moreover, this response appeared to be functionalization specific, in that, only tris-C₆₀ induced senescence. We investigated key biological responses, such as cellular viability, intracellular ROS generation, cell proliferation and cell cycle responses. Our results indicate that the often observed ‘anti-apoptotic’ function of fullerene derivatives may be independent of their ‘ROS scavenging’ role as previously reported. We discovered that the tris-C₆₀-induced responses were associated with G₀/G₁ cell cycle arrest and cellular senescence. On further evaluation of the molecular mechanisms underlying the senescent response, a significant decrease in the expression levels of HERC5 was noted. HERC5 is a ubiquitin ligase of the HERC family and is implicated to be involved in innate immune responses to viral and bacterial infections.     

A longitudinal assessment of aflatoxin M1 excretion in breast milk of selected Egyptian mothers.

Aflatoxins are potent toxins and carcinogens which can be excreted in the milk of exposed lactating mothers mainly in the form of aflatoxin M(1) (AFM(1)). We previously evaluated the level and frequency of AFM(1) in breast milk in a group of Egyptian mothers attending the New El-Qalyub Hospital, Qalyubiyah governorate, Egypt. In this study, fifty of those women who were AFM(1) positive were revisited monthly for 12 months to assess the temporal variation in breast milk AFM(1). AFM(1) was detected in 248 of 443 (56%) samples. In a multilevel model of the data there was a highly significant (p<0.001) effect of month of sampling on the frequency of AFM(1) detection with summer months having the highest frequency (>80%) and winter months the lowest frequency (<20%) of detection. AFM(1) was observed most frequently in June [OR 63, 95% CI (7.6, 522)]. The level of AFM(1) detection also followed this seasonal pattern with highest mean level in July (64 pg/ml milk, range 6.3-497 pg/ml milk) and the lowest mean level in January (8 pg/ml milk, range 4.2-108 pg/ml milk). The duration of lactation [p=0.0035, OR=1.08, 95% CI (1.02, 1.13)], and peanut consumption [p=0.06, OR=1.69, 95% CI (0.9, 2.9)] also contributed to the model. The identification and understanding of factors determining the presence of toxicants in human milk is important and may provide a knowledge driven basis for controlling the transfer of chemicals to infants.     

Nimbolide and isonimbolide

Nimbolide 1, a potent molecule of biological significance, was isolated. Attempts were made to cleave the ether linkage in nimbolide using boron trifluoride etherate in the presence of tetrabutyl ammonium bromide so as to generate a ring-opened structure akin to azadirachtins, which are known to possess excellent antifeedant properties. However, a novel rearranged product was envisaged during the course of the reaction, which was determined as isonimbolide 2—a structural isomer of nimbolide through spectroscopic methods.     

In praise of H2O2, the versatile ROS,and its vanadium complexes

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is generated in mitochondria in aerobic cells as a minor product of electron transport, is inhibited selectively by phenolic acids (in animals) or salicylhydroxamate (in plants) and is regulated by hormones and environmental conditions. Failure to detect this activity is due to presence of H₂O₂-consuming reactions or inhibitors present in the reaction mixture. H₂O₂ has a role in metabolic regulation and signal transduction reactions. A number of enzymes and cellular activities are modified, mostly by oxidizing the protein-thiol groups, on adding H₂O₂ in mM concentrations. On complexing with vanadate, also occurring in traces, H₂O₂ forms diperoxovanadate (DPV), stable at physiological pH and resistant to degradation by catalase. DPV was found to substitute for H₂O₂ at concentrations orders of magnitude lower, and in presence of catalase, as a substrate for user reaction, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and in inactivating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. superoxide dismutase (SOD) -sensitive oxidation of NADH was found to operate as peroxovanadate cycle using traces of DPV and decameric vanadate (V₁₀) and reduces O₂ to peroxide (DPV in presence of free vanadate). This offers a model for respiratory burst. Diperoxovanadate reproduces several actions of H₂O₂ at low concentrations: enhances protein tyrosine phosphorylation, activates phospholipase D, produces smooth muscle contraction, and accelerates stress induced premature senescence (SIPS) and rounding in fibroblasts. Peroxovanadates can be useful tools in the studies on H₂O₂ in cellular activities and regulation.     

Prediction of volume of distribution in preclinical species and humans: application of simplified physiologically based algorithms

1. The present study was aimed at developing simplified physiologically based semi-mechanistic algorithms to predict V_ss and interspecies scaling factors to predict tissue-K_ps which require minimum input parameters, diminish the computing complexity and have better predictability.

2. V_ss of 86 structurally diverse compounds in preclinical species and 27 compounds in humans were predicted using only lung- and muscle-K_p as inputs. Interspecies scaling factor (s) were developed based on fold-differences in individual tissue lipid contents, relative organ blood flow: relative organ weight ratio between two species. Tissue-K_ps were predicted for 34 compounds using the newly developed interspecies scaling factors.

3. The predicted-to-experimental V_ss values for all the 113 compounds was 1.3?±?0.9 with 83% values being within a factor of two. The tissue-K_ps in rat, dog and human were predicted using experimental tissue-K_p data in rodents and interspecies scaling factors and here also, 83% of tissue-K_ps were within two-fold of the experimental values.

4. In conclusion, simplified physiologically based algorithms have been developed to predict both volume of distribution and tissue-K_ps, in which required input parameters as well as computing complexity have been noticeably reduced.

Serotonergic approaches in the development of novel antipsychotics

Schizophrenia is a chronic, debilitating neuropsychological disease characterised by positive, negative, and cognitive deficits. In recent years, new pharmacological treatment strategies have been developed to treat the sequalae of schizophrenia based upon more selective receptor activity profiles in the hope that treatment efficacy can be increased without inducing the side-effect profiles seen with current available therapies. One such strategy involves the development of combined (partial) 5-HT_1A agonists and D₂ receptor (partial) antagonists such as bifeprunox, SLV313, F15063 and SSR-181507 in an attempt to increase therapeutic efficacy of all symptom domains whilst alleviating adverse side effects. Other novel drugs including SLV310 and SLV314 combine selective serotonin reuptake inhibition (SSRI) functionality with D₂ receptor antagonism in an attempt to not only improve schizophrenic symptoms, but to also relieve other affective disorders intricately linked with the disorder. The main scope of this review will evaluate the major preclinical and clinical pharmacological findings concerning the aforementioned strategies and pharmacological agents, and compare their therapeutic potential with currently available antipsychotics; however, recent developments at other emerging serotonergic targets such as 5-HT_2C, 5-HT₆ and 5-HT₇ receptors will also be considered.     

Integrin antagonists as therapeutics for inflammatory diseases

Integrins are a family of heterodimeric cell surface receptors that mediate adhesion events crucial to cellular migration, proliferation and activation. Although critical to a normal immune response, integrins can also facilitate the progression of many inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. As such, they have attracted the attention of the pharmaceutical industry. Several humanised monoclonal antibodies directed against integrin targets have proven to be successful in clinical trials and have been approved for use in humans. This has not only resulted in effective therapies for patients, but also has provided important proof-of-concept studies for the development of small-molecule antagonists. This review focuses on those integrin subclasses that are being evaluated for their potential role in pulmonary, dermatological, gastrointestinal or rheumatic diseases. These include the α₄ and β₂ integrins, as well as an emerging group of targets from the collagen-binding family of integrins. Interfering with integrin signalling pathways represents a future area of interest. The rationale for pursuing these targets, as well as the drugs presently under development, are discussed.     

Urinary biomarkers of aflatoxin exposure in young children from Egypt and Guinea.

Aflatoxins are a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and thus understanding the pattern of aflatoxin exposure in different regions is important in order to develop targeted intervention strategies. Given the early onset of HCC in many countries early life exposures may be important. This study investigated aflatoxin exposure in Egyptian children (n=50, aged 1-2.5 years) by assessing urinary aflatoxin metabolite (AFM(1), AFB(1), AFB(2), AFG(1), AFG(2)) levels. Samples from Guinean children (n=50, aged 2-4 years) were analyzed in parallel providing a comparison to a region of established frequent aflatoxin exposure. Aflatoxins were isolated from urine using C18-cartridges followed by immunoaffinity clean-up, and quantified by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Overall aflatoxins were less frequently present in Egyptian (38%) than Guinean urine samples (86%) (p<0.001), which was particularly related to differences in detection rates of AFM(1) (8% compared to 64%, respectively, (p<0.001)). For AFM(1) the geometric mean level in Guinea (16.3 pg/ml; 95% CI: 10.1, 26.6 pg/ml) was 6-fold higher (p<0.001) than in Egypt (2.7 pg/ml; 95% CI: 2.5, 2.8 pg/ml). Urinary aflatoxins from healthy children in these two regions have not previously been reported, and exposure appears modest in Egypt compared to Guinea. These data suggest that measures to reduce aflatoxin exposure in both regions are important, though particularly in Guinea.
