Instant Effects of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Wave on Hemoglobin in Single Living Intact Red Blood Cell

The absorption spectrum of the hemoglobin （Hb） in single riving intact red blood cell（RBC）, exposed in 900 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic wave （RF-EMW）, was non-invasive,in situ, real-time measured by employing a highly sensitive fast multi-channel microspectrophotometer system. Both the absorption intensity and site of intracellular Hb were altered after RBCs were exposed in 900 MHz RF-EMW with power density at 5 mW/cm^2. It was indicated that not only the concentration of Hb in living RBCs was decreased, but the molecular structure of Hb was changed by the RF-EMW action.     

Study of the Interaction Between Peroxynitrite and Hemoglobin

Abstract

Peroxynitrite (ONOO^?), which is usually generated as a response of the immune system or in inflammatory processes, is a powerful oxidant species, while hemoglobin is an important peroxynitrite scavenger in vivo. In this work, we have studied the interaction between peroxynitrite and hemoglobin through an electrochemical method and UV-Vis spectroscopy. It is found that peroxynitrite, at a relatively high concentration level, may make the protein exhibit a concentration-dependent increase of its catalytic activity towards hydrogen peroxide, whereas peroxynitrite at low concentration will result in the slight decrease of the catalytic activity. Further studies reveal that the diversification of the enzymatic activity is ascribed to the different extent of tyrosine nitration and, accordingly, the spatial conformation of the protein.     

牛血红蛋白与银纳米粒子相互作用的光谱研究

运用紫外-可见吸收光谱(UV-Vis)、荧光光谱、同步荧光光谱、圆二色光谱(CD)及傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)等手段, 研究牛血红蛋白(Bovine Hemoglobin, 简称BHb)与银纳米粒子的相互作用. 结果表明, BHb能吸附在银纳米粒子的表面, 使其415 nm处的特征等离子体共振吸收峰强度下降, 峰位红移. 随银纳米粒子的浓度增大, BHb分子中Soret带的吸收持续降低, 说明银纳米粒子可能使部分血红素辅基从它们的键腔中脱离出来. Stern-Volmer方程分析表明, 银纳米粒子静态猝灭BHb的内源荧光. 由UV-Vis和荧光光谱的变化, 计算BHb与银纳米粒子的结合常数, 其数量级达到10⁹～10¹⁰. 同步荧光光谱的蓝移说明, 银纳米粒子扰动BHb分子内部的酪氨酸、色氨酸残基所处的微环境, 使之包埋于疏水腔中. 拟合计算远紫外CD数据发现, 银纳米粒子诱导BHb产生轻微的二级结构改变, α-螺旋含量降低. FTIR光谱结果提示, BHb中半胱氨酸残基的硫、羧基氧、酰胺及氨基酸残基中的氮原子与银纳米粒子可能有表面键合作用.

Interaction of Soy Protein Isolate Hydrolysates with Cyanidin-3-O-Glucoside and Its Effect on the In Vitro Antioxidant Capacity of the Complexes under Neutral Condition

The interaction of soy protein isolate (SPI) and its hydrolysates (SPIHs) with cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) at pH 7.0 were investigated to clarify the changes in the antioxidant capacity of their complexes. The results of intrinsic fluorescence revealed that C3G binds to SPI/SPIHs mainly through hydrophobic interaction, and the binding affinity of SPI was stronger than that of SPIHs. Circular dichroism and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses revealed that the interaction with C3G did not significantly change the secondary structures of SPI/SPIHs, while the surface hydrophobicity and average particle size of proteins decreased. Furthermore, the SPI/SPIHs-C3G interaction induced an antagonistic effect on the antioxidant capacity (ABTS and DPPH) of the complex system, with the masking effect on the ABTS scavenging capacity of the SPIHs-C3G complexes being lower than that of the SPI-C3G complexes. This study contributes to the design and development of functional beverages that are rich in hydrolysates and anthocyanins.     

The Redox Potential of the β-93-Cysteine Thiol Group in Human Hemoglobin Estimated from In Vitro Oxidant Challenge Experiments

Glutathionyl hemoglobin is a minor form of hemoglobin with intriguing properties. The measurement of the redox potential of its reactive β-⁹³-Cysteine is useful to improve understanding of the response of erythrocytes to transient and chronic conditions of oxidative stress, where the level of glutathionyl hemoglobin is increased. An independent literature experiment describes the recovery of human erythrocytes exposed to an oxidant burst by measuring glutathione, glutathione disulfide and glutathionyl hemoglobin in a two-hour period. This article calculates a value for the redox potential E₀ of the β-⁹³-Cysteine, considering the erythrocyte as a closed system at equilibrium described by the Nernst equation and using the measurements of the literature experiment. The obtained value of E₀ of −121 mV at pH 7.4 places hemoglobin as the most oxidizing thiol of the erythrocyte. By using as synthetic indicators of the concentrations the electrochemical potentials of the two main redox pairs in the erythrocytes, those of glutathione–glutathione disulfide and of glutathionyl–hemoglobin, the mechanism of the recovery phase can be hypothesized. Hemoglobin acts as the redox buffer that scavenges oxidized glutathione in the oxidative phase and releases it in the recovery phase, by acting as the substrate of the NAD(P)H-cofactored enzymes.

血竭总黄酮与人血红蛋白结合的同步荧光特性

采用同步荧光法研究了血竭总黄酮(tFSD)与人血红蛋白(HHb)的相互作用,并与血清白蛋白的同步荧光光谱进行比较。tFSD可以猝灭HHb、牛血清白蛋白(BSA)、人血清白蛋白(HSA)的荧光,但只有HHb的峰位因分子构象改变蓝移10 nm。HHb的同步荧光蓝移表明,tFSD使HHb内部芳香族氨基酸所处微环境的疏水性增强。0.4 mol.L-1的NaCl可阻止两者的结合,说明tFSD与HHb的弱结合力是氢键和静电力,而tFSD-HHb复合物的作用时间、酸度对结果无影响。     

Silylation Improves the Photodynamic Activity of Tetraphenylporphyrin Derivatives In Vitro and In Vivo

The effects of silyl and hydrophilic groups on the photodynamic properties of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) derivatives have been studied in vitro and in vivo. Silylation led to an improvement in the quantum yield of singlet oxygen sensitization for both sulfo and carboxy derivatives, although the silylation did not affect other photophysical properties. Silylation also improved the cellular uptake efficiency for both sulfo and carboxy derivatives, enhancing the in vitro photodynamic activity of the photosensitizer in U251 human glioma cells. The carboxy derivative (SiTPPC₄) was found to show higher cellular uptake efficiency and in vitro photodynamic activity than the corresponding sulfo derivative (SiTPPS₄), which indicates that the carboxy group is a more promising hydrophilic group than the sulfo group in the silylated porphyrin. SiTPPC₄ was found to show high selective accumulation efficiency in tumors, although almost no tumor selectivity was observed for the nonsilylated porphyrin. The concentration of SiTPPC₄ in tumors was 13 times higher than that in muscle 12 h after drug administration. We also studied tumor response after treatment and found that silylation enhanced in vivo photodynamic activity significantly. SiTPPC₄ shows higher photodynamic activity than NPe6 with white light irradiation.     

Voltammetry and Spectroscopy Study of In Vitro Interaction of Fenitrothion with DNA

The interaction of Fenitrothion with DNA has been studied using the voltammetric and spectroscopic methods. An irreversible reduction was concluded from the CV data of Fenitrothion. The values of (αn)_f=1.91 and (αn)_b=2.06 were measured and the reduction process of Fenitrothion was performed with 4 electrons. By using non‐linear regression analysis of CV data, the binding constant, binding site size, and diffusion coefficient for free Fenitrothion (D_f) and DNA‐Fenitrothion (D_b) were calculated as: 1.03×10⁴, 1.204, 5.2×10^?4 and 1.72×10^?5, respectively. Also the voltammetric, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and activation energy of DNA‐Fenitrothion complex revealed that the mode of interaction might be partial‐intercalative and complex formation is entropy favored.

Permeability of the Perindopril Arginine under In Vitro Conditions across Caco-2 Monolayer and Biomimetic Phospholipid Membrane

Perindopril arginine (PA) as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor is widely used in cardiovascular diseases, especially in systemic hypertension and heart failure. Although the pharmacokinetics of PA are well documented, there is no available detailed data on its permeation in in vitro conditions. The present study aimed to assess the transport of PA across both biological membranes and artificial biomimetic ones. For the determination of PA transport, the Caco-2 cell line was selected as a reliable in vitro model of gastrointestinal biological barriers. Additionally, a novel 96-well plate with phospholipid membrane PermeaPad was used to evaluate the transport of PA by passive diffusion. We confirmed that PA is relatively poorly permeable across the Caco-2 monolayer. The permeability results obtained from the non-cell-based model demonstrated higher transport of PA as compared to that of Caco-2. Thus, PA transport across the biological membranes might be suggested to be regulated by the membrane transporters.
