Interaction Between Toddalolatone and Human Serum Albumin

A combination of fluorescence, UV–Vis absorption, circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic and molecular modeling approaches was employed to investigate the interaction between toddalolactone (TDT) and human serum albumin (HSA) at physiological buffer conditions (pH 7.4). Fluorescence titration suggests that the mechanism of the fluorescence quenching of HSA is static, resulting from the formation of a TDT–HSA complex. Binding parameters calculated from the modified Stern–Volmer equation show that TDT binds to HSA with high affinity. Negative enthalpy change and positive entropy change values suggest that the binding process is primarily driven by hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. The binding of TDT to HSA results in an increase in the surface hydrophobicity of HSA. The binding distance between the Trp-214 residue (donor) and TDT (acceptor) was determined to be 4.18 nm based on the Förster theory of non-radioactive energy transfer. Displacement studies of site markers reveal that the binding site of TDT to HSA is located in the subdomain IIA (Sudlow’s site I). Furthermore, the molecular docking results corroborate and illustrate the specific binding mode and binding site. Analysis of UV–Vis absorption, CD and FT-IR spectra demonstrated that TDT induced a small alteration of the protein’s conformation.

Interaction Between Plumbagin and Human Serum Albumin by Fluorescence Spectroscopy

The interaction of plumbagin (PLU) with human serum albumin (HSA) in physiological buffer (pH=7.4) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. Results obtained from analysis of the fluorescence spectra indicated that PLU has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching procedure. Fluorescence quenching data revealed that the quenching constants (K) are 4.43×10⁴, 3.26×10⁴ and 1.69×10⁴ L?mol^?1 at 293, 303 and 313 K, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH° and ΔS° were calculated to be ?36.63 kJ?mol^?1, and ?35.702 J?mol^?1?K^?1 respectively, which suggested that van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds play a major role in the interaction of PLU with HSA. The distance between donor (HSA) and acceptor (PLU) was calculated to be 3.76 nm based on Förster’s non-radiative energy transfer theory. The results of synchronous fluorescence spectra showed that binding of PLU to HSA can induce conformational changes in HSA.     

ATR Kinase Activity Limits Mutagenesis and Promotes the Clonogenic Survival of Quiescent Human Keratinocytes Exposed to UVB Radiation

The ATR protein kinase has well-described roles in maintaining genomic integrity during the DNA synthesis phase of the cell cycle. However, ATR function in cells that are not actively replicating DNA remains largely unexplored. Using HaCaT and telomerase-immortalized human keratinocytes maintained in a confluent, nonreplicating state in vitro, ATR was found to be robustly activated in response to UVB radiation in a manner dependent on the nucleotide excision repair factor and DNA translocase XPB. Inhibition of ATR kinase activity under these conditions negatively impacted acute cell survival and cytotoxicity and severely inhibited the ability of UVB-irradiated HaCaT keratinocytes to proliferate upon stimulation with growth factors. Furthermore, ATR kinase inhibition in quiescent HaCaT keratinocytes potentiated UVB mutagenesis at the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase locus. Though ATR inhibition did not impact the rate of removal of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers from genomic DNA, elevated levels of PCNA mono-ubiquitination and chromatin-associated PCNA and RPA indicate that excision gap-filling synthesis was altered in the absence of ATR signaling. These results indicate that the ATR kinase plays important roles in preventing mutagenesis and in promoting the proliferative potential of quiescent keratinocytes exposed to UVB radiation.     

UVA and UVB Radiation Differentially Regulate Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression in Keratinocyte-derived Cell Lines and in Human Keratinocytes

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a central regulator of neoangiogenesis in inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. Ultraviolet irradiation is one of the mainstays of dermatological therapy for various inflammatory skin diseases. In the present study we have compared the effects of UV irradiation on the production of VEGF by keratinocytes (KC) and by the KC-derived cell lines A431 and HaCaT. Irradiation of A431 and HaCaT cells with both UVA (10 J/cm2 and 20 J/cm2) and UVB (8 mJ/cm2 and 16 mJ/cm2) led to strong upregulation of VEGF mRNA and protein. Induction of VEGF by UVA and UVB in these cells was mediated by different pathways, i.e. the generation of free radicals and the secretion of (a) soluble factor(s), respectively. Unlike KC-derived cell lines, no increase in VEGF production was observed in KC in primary culture after irradiation with the same UV doses. Increasing the irradiation dose in these cells of UVA to 40 J/cm2 led to a marked decrease in soluble VEGF, whereas doses as high as 32 mJ/cm2 UVB only minimally affected VEGF levels. Reduction of VEGF production by KC might contribute to the effect of UVA irradiation in inflammatory skin diseases. The differential response of primary KC and autonomously growing KC-derived cell lines to the induction of VEGF by UV light could favor neoangiogenesis in the vicinity of epidermal tumor cells in vivo, thereby endowing them with a growth advantage over normal cells.

Toxic Interaction between Dibutyl Phthalate and Human Serum Albumin: Spectroscopic and Molecular Modeling Investigations

Because of the widely usage of Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), its residue exist extensively in the environment and can enter human body, being potential harmful. Human serum albumin (HSA) is a major transporter for endogenous and exogenous compounds in vivo. The aim of this study was to examine the interaction of HSA with DBP through spectroscopic and molecular modeling methods. The experiments revealed that DBP binds to site I (subdomain IIA) of HSA mainly through hydrophobic interactions, illustrated by the calculated ΔH and ΔS. Furthermore, molecular docking was applied to define the specific binding sites, the results of which show that DBP mainly interacts with the positively charged amino acid residues LEU 219, PHE 223, LEU 234, LEU 238, ALA 258, LEU 260, and ILE 290 predominately through hydrophobic interactions, in accordance with the conclusion of thermodynamic analysis. The binding of DBP can cause conformational and some microenvironmental changes of HSA, revealed by UV‐vis absorption, synchronous fluorescence, and circular dichroism results. The accurate and full basic data in the work is beneficial to clarifying the binding mechanism of DBP with HSA in vivo and understanding its effect on protein function during the blood transportation process.

Determination of Nicotine-Related Alkaloids in Tobacco and Cigarette Smoke by GC-FID

A simple and accurate method, gas chromatography (GC) with flame-ionization detection (FID) has been used for determination of the four main nicotine-related alkaloids in tobacco. Tobacco samples were treated with a small quantity of aqueous ammonia solution, to loosen the tobacco tissue and to convert all alkaloids to free bases, then extracted with 1:3 CH₃OH-CH₂Cl₂. A method for further simultaneous and comprehensive determination of six nicotine-related alkaloids in cigarette smoke was also developed. Because of the complexity of the cigarette smoke matrix and the small amounts of alkaloids, except nicotine, in cigarette smoke, the smoke extract was concentrated after removal of the acidic and neutral fractions. To reduce the adsorption and thermal degradation of alkaloids in the liner, especially for nornicotine, a suitable injector temperature was selected and pulsed injection mode was studied. Different cigarette smokes and tobaccos were analyzed for levels of nicotine-related alkaloids.Revised: 3 January and 21 March 2005

Effects of a Single Exposure to UVB Radiation on the Activities and Protein Levels of Copper-Zinc and Manganese Superoxide Dismutase in Cultured Human Keratinocytes

Abstract— Ultraviolet B irradiation has been believed to decrease or impair the activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the skin. It has been recently reported that two isozymes of SOD, namely copper-zinc SOD (Cu-Zn SOD) and manganese SOD (Mn SOD), exist in mammalian cells and that the two enzymes play different roles in living systems. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in SOD activities and protein levels in cultured human keratinocytes after acute UVB irradiation. In addition, the protein levels of Cu-Zn SOD and Mn SOD were quantified separately. A single exposure to UVB irradiation produced an increase in SOD activity and protein level that peaked immediately after UVB irradiation, after which a decline was observed, with subsequent recovery to baseline levels 24 h after irradiation. In individual assays of Mn SOD and Cu-Zn SOD, the amount of Mn SOD protein decreased and then gradually recovered 24 h after irradiation. In contrast, the amount of Cu-Zn SOD protein increased immediately after UVB irradiation, and then gradually declined. To evaluate the mechanisms of these changes, we examined the effects of the cytokines, interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which can be secreted from keratinocytes after UVB irradiation, on the SOD activity and protein levels in keratinocytes. Interleukin-la and TNF-α enhanced both the SOD activity and protein level of Mn SOD, while these cytokines had no effect on Cu-Zn SOD protein levels in cultured human keratinocytes after incubation for 24 h. Furthermore, when neutralizing antibodies against IL-1α and TNF-α were added separately or together to the culture medium before UVB irradiation, the recovery of total SOD activity and Mn SOD protein level were markedly inhibited 24 h after irradiation. Our results suggest that significant increases in SOD activity and protein level occur as a cutaneous antioxidant defense mechanism that protects against the cytotoxicity as a result of UVB irradiation, and that this increase in SOD is attributed to Cu-Zn SOD. The Cu-Zn SOD and Mn SOD protein levels changed in a different manner after UVB irradiation. The former may participate in an early phase and the latter in a late phase defense mechanism directed against oxidant cytotoxicity through UVB irradiation. In addition, the recovery of Mn SOD to baseline levels 24 h after UVB irradiation seems to be mediated through cytokines such as IL-1α and TNF-α, which are secreted from keratinocytes.
