Targeted proteo-glycomics analysis of Sialyl Lewis X antigen expressing glycoproteins secreted by human hepatoma cell line.

Sialyl Lewis X (SLEX) antigen, Neu5Acalpha2-3Galbeta1-4 (Fucalpha1-3) GlcNAc-R, plays important roles in cell-to-cell interaction: for example, the E- and P-selectin-mediated influx of SLEX expressing leukocytes into inflamed areas. A human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, HepG2 cells, was highly expressed SLEX on secreted glycoproteins and cell surface, in contrast with HuH-7 cells. We identified SLEX expressing glycoproteins in HepG2 cultured medium by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, followed by in gel digestion and peptide mass fingerprint using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS), including transferrin, alpha1-antitrypsin, alpha2-HS glycoprotein and beta-glycoprotein. We analyzed N-glycans of these glycoproteins by MALDI-TOFMS in combination with exoglycosidase digestion; our results indicate increases in poly-fucosylated and high-branched N-glycans. High alpha1,3-fucosylation in glycoproteins would be caused by increased expression of alpha1,3-fucosyltransferase activities in HepG2 cells.     

Main constituents from the seeds of Vietnamese Cnidium monnieri and cytotoxic activity

From the ethyl acetate extract of the seeds of Vietnamese Cnidium monnieri L., three coumarins, osthole (1), xanthotoxin (2), imperatorin (3) and a sterol, daucosterol (4) have been purified. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Furthermore, 8-(3-hidroxy-3-methylbutyl)-7-methoxycoumarin (5) was synthesised from osthole (1) with a good yield (80%). In addition, compound 1 and its synthesis product (5) show moderate and non-selective cytotoxic activities against four cancer cells, KB (a human epidermal carcinoma), MCF7 (human breast carcinoma), SK-LU-1 (human lung carcinoma) and HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma).     

Simple separation of isomeric sialylated N-glycopeptides by a zwitterionic type of hydrophilic interaction chromatography

Asparagine-linked oligosaccharides (N-glycans) usually show structural heterogeneity, especially in proteins with sialylated N-glycans and, therefore, their structural analysis is still very difficult. A zwitterionic type of hydrophilic interaction chromatography column with sulfobetaine functional groups (called a ZIC-HILIC column) was applied to the separation of tryptic peptides of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein. It was demonstrated that the ZIC-HILIC separation column has a selectivity for sialylated N-glycopeptides and a high capability for separation based on the structural recognition of sialylated N-glycan isomers as well as for the previously reported neutral N-glycans and N-glycopeptides. The retention characteristics of neutral and sialylated N-glycans derivatized with 2-aminopyridine (PA N-glycans) demonstrate that the retentions of the N-glycans are based primarily on hydrophilic interaction with the water-rich liquid layer generated on the surface of the ZIC-HILIC column. In addition, the electrostatic repulsion interaction shielded with counter ions effectively tunes the separation and recognition of sialylated N-glycan isomers.     

Water‐soluble Schiff base Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes: Synthesis,DNA targeting ability and chemotherapeutic potential of Cu(II) complex for hepatocellular carcinoma – in vitro and in vivo approach

Reliable compounds with low toxicity are tempting potential chemotherapeutics. With an aim of achieving less toxic but more potent metallodrugs, four new‐generation hydrophilic Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with DNA‐targeting properties were synthesized and characterized using various physicochemical data. The excellent DNA binding and cleavage results confirmed the mode of binding of DNA with the complexes and their ability to denature it. The profound in vitro cytotoxicity exhibited by complex 3 against a panel of cell lines (HeLa, MCF‐7 and HepG‐2) along with NHDF (normal human dermal fibroblasts) with distinct activity towards HepG‐2 and low toxicity to NHDF prompted in vivo studies of induced hepatocellular carcinoma‐affected Swiss albino rats. On evaluating various serum hepatic, biological and histopathological parameters, complex 3 showed excellent activity in restoring the damaged liver to normal. As a means of identifying the pathway of DNA damage, flow cytometric evaluation of cell cycle analysis was performed, which revealed S phase arrest‐induced apoptosis in HepG‐2 cells by complex 3 , making it a cell cycle‐specific drug.     

Evaluation of newly synthesized derivatives of bis(hydrazine‐1‐carbothioamide) and their metal complexes synthesized in bulk and nano size as potent anticancer agents

A series of new metal complexes were synthesized in both bulk and nano size using green methods, starting with the reaction of (E)‐N′‐[(E)‐2‐bromobenzylidene]‐4‐oxo‐4‐(piperidin‐1‐yl)but‐2‐enehydrazide with thiosemicarbazide and different metal halides such as CuI·2H₂O, CuCl₂·2H₂O, CoCl₂·2H₂O, and ZnCl₂·2H₂O, and metal nitrate such as Ga(NO₃)₃·2H₂O. Structures of these metal complexes were confirmed using different spectroscopic methods, elemental analysis, electronic spectra, and microanalytical methods (scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy) for nano complexes. The distorted octahedral geometry for all complexes was suggested based on magnetic moments and electronic spectral studies. The cytotoxic activity of the compounds was investigated against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) and human colorectal carcinoma (HCT‐116) cell lines. Most tested compounds had higher inhibitory activity than the standard vinblastine drug. Interestingly, the nano‐sized Ga(III) complex 11 was the most potent compound against the two tested cell lines, with 50% inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of 2.56 μg/mL for HepG2, compared with the reference drug vinblastine (IC₅₀ 15.6 μg/mL), and IC₅₀ 4.64 μg/mL for HCT‐116, compared with the standard (IC₅₀ 13.9 μg/mL). The bioassay results helped us identify new potent and selective anticancer agents.     

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of ethyl p-methoxycinnamate from Kaempferia galanga L. rhizome and its apoptotic induction in human HepG2 cells

In this study, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of ethyl p-methoxycinnamate from Kaempferia galanga L. rhizome and its apoptotic induction in human HepG2 cells are reported for the first time. By using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, the yield of ethyl p-methoxycinnamate identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was as high as 2.5% with respect to the raw materials. In the anticancer assay, it was found that ethyl p-methoxycinnamate could inhibit the proliferation of the human hepatocellular liver carcinoma HepG2 cell line in a dose-dependent manner and induce the significant increase of the subG0 cell population. After treatment with ethyl p-methoxycinnamate, phosphatidylserine of HepG2 cells could significantly translocate to the surface of the membrane. The increase of an early apoptotic population was observed by both annexin-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and propidium iodide (PI) staining. It was concluded that ethyl p-methoxycinnamate not only induced cells to enter into apoptosis, but also affected the progress of the cell cycle.     

Mass spectrometric profiling of N-linked oligosaccharides and uncommon glycoform in mouse serum with head and neck tumor

N-linked oligosaccharides obtained from total serum of mice with implanted head and neck tumors were analyzed and compared with those from control samples of healthy mice. Methods used include a combination of a derivatization procedure with phenylhydrazine (PHN) and analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Oligosaccharides were enzymatically released from total serum with PNGaseF and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a reversed-phase column. Mass spectra contained ion peaks of labeled oligosaccharides and MS/MS experiments provided useful data for the structural elucidation of these compounds. More than 40 N-glycans with compositions characteristic of high-mannose, hybrid, complex, neutral, and sialylated structures were identified in the serum of tumoral mice. Significant differences between samples were observed with respect to the abundances of high mannose and hybrid glycans. These oligosaccharides showed higher relative intensities in the spectra obtained from the cancer sera. Complex sialylated oligosaccharides had similar abundances in both types of sera, with the exception of fucosylated biantennary disialylated oligosaccharide, which was mostly detected with lower abundance in control samples. In the MALDI spectra, several minor species corresponded to uncommon carbohydrates. These structures have been investigated in detail by MS/MS. Among these novel glycoforms, a few sialylated oligosaccharides without a free reducing end were identified. Also, glycans with an extra 60 u were observed and likely feature the presence of a 2-acetamido-2-deoxyoctose residue attached on antennae of 3- or 6-linked mannose.
