Mitochondria play a crucial role in maintaining cellular energy through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). However, OXPHOS is impaired as the mitochondrial oxygen supply decreases with age. We explored whether pharmacologically increased oxygen diffusion by crocetin can restore OXPHOS and help delay the aging of the brain and other vital organs. We found that aged mice treated with crocetin for four months displayed significantly improved memory behavior, neuromuscular coordination, and ATP and NAD<sup>+</sup> levels in the brain and other vital organs, leading to an increased median life span. The transcriptomic analysis of hippocampi from crocetin-treated mice revealed that enhanced brain energy level was caused by the upregulation of genes linked to OXPHOS, and their expression was close to that in young mice. The chronic treatment of aged astrocytes also showed improved mitochondrial membrane potential and energy state of the cells. Moreover, chronic treatment with crocetin did not cause any oxidative stress. Our data suggest that restoring OXPHOS and the normal energy state of the cell can delay aging and enhance longevity. Therefore, molecules such as crocetin should be further explored to treat age-related diseases.","PeriodicalId":501473,"journal":{"name":"ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to their complex chemical and physical properties, method development for the separation of vaccine adjuvants is considered a highly challenging and laborious task. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) is among the most important tests in the (bio)pharmaceutical industry for release and stability indicating measurements including adjuvant content, identity, and purity profile. However, the time constraints of developing “on-demand” robust quantitative methods prior to each change in formulation can easily lead to sample analysis becoming a bottleneck in vaccine development. Herein, a simple and efficient generic analytical framework capable of chromatographically resolving the most commonly used non-aluminum-based adjuvants across academic and industrial sectors is introduced. This was designed to seek a more proactive approach for fast-paced assay development endeavors that evolved from extensive stationary phase screening in conjunction with multifactorial <i>in silico</i> simulations of adjuvant retention time (RT) as a function of gradient time, temperature, organic modifier blending, and buffer concentration. The multifactorial retention models yield 3D resolution maps with excellent baseline separation of all adjuvants in a single run, which was found to be very accurate, with differences between experimental and simulated retention times of less than 1%. The analytical framework described here also includes the introduction of a more versatile approach to method development by introducing a dynamic RT database for adjuvants covering the entire library of adjuvants with broad mechanisms of action across numerous vaccine formulations with excellent linearity, accuracy, precision, and specificity. The power of this framework was also demonstrated with numerous analytical assays that can be generated rapidly from simulations guiding vaccine processes in the development of new adjuvant formulations. Analytical assay in this work covers content, purity profile by LC with diode array detector (DAD) and charged aerosol detector (CAD), and component identification by LC with mass spectrometry (MS) across complex vaccine formulations, including the use of surfactants (<i>e.g.</i>, polysorbates) as well as their separation from adjuvant targets.","PeriodicalId":501473,"journal":{"name":"ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One known dietary nutrient that maintains the intestinal environment is dietary fiber. A recent study showed that maintaining the intestinal environment with dietary fiber alleviated symptoms of psychiatric disorders in animals. However, such effects have only been reported with soluble fiber, which is highly fermentable and promotes short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, and not with insoluble fiber. Therefore, we aimed to verify whether insoluble fiber, such as cellulose, can alter emotion via changes in the gut. We divided mice into two groups and fed either a standard diet (SD, which contains both insoluble and soluble dietary fibers) or a cellulose-rich diet (CRD, which contains cellulose alone as the dietary fibers). We found that CRD-fed mice display increased anxiety-like behavior. CRD-fed animals also showed decreased intestinal SCFA levels along with increased intestinal permeability, dysmotility, and hypersensitivity. This behavioral and physiological effect of CRD has been completely abolished in vagotomized mice, indicating the direct link between intestinal environment exacerbation to the emotion through the gut-brain axis. Additionally, we found that amygdalar dopamine signaling has been modified in CRD-fed animals, and the opioid antagonist abolished this dopaminergic modification as well as CRD-induced anxiety. Altogether, our findings indicate that consumption of cellulose alone as the dietary fiber may evoke intestinal abnormalities, which fire the vagus nerve, then the opioidergic system, and amygdalar dopamine upregulation, resulting in the enhancement of anxiety.","PeriodicalId":501473,"journal":{"name":"ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is growing interest in drug repositioning and repurposing strategies for FDA-approved medications as potential candidates that may further advance AD therapeutics. The FDA drug efavirenz has been investigated as a candidate drug for repurposing as an AD medication. The proposed mechanism of action of efavirenz (at low doses) is the activation of the neuron-specific enzyme CYP46A1 that converts excess brain cholesterol into 24-hydroxycholesterol (24-HC) that is exported to the periphery. Efavirenz at a low dose was found to improve memory deficit in the 5XFAD model of AD that was accompanied by elevated 24-HC and reduction in Aβ; furthermore, efavirenz reduced pTau and excess cholesterol levels in human iPSC-derived Alzheimer’s neurons. The low dose of efavirenz used in the AD mouse model to increase 24-HC contrasts with the use of more than 100-fold higher doses of efavirenz for clinical treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through inhibition of reverse transcriptase. Low doses of efavirenz may avoid neurotoxic adverse effects that occur at high efavirenz doses used for HIV treatment. This review evaluates the drug properties of efavirenz with respect to its preclinical data on regulating memory deficit, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, metabolites, and genetic variabilities in drug metabolism as well as its potential adverse effects. These analyses discuss the challenges and questions that should be addressed in future studies to consider the opportunity for low dose efavirenz as a candidate for AD drug development.","PeriodicalId":501473,"journal":{"name":"ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle this issue, we systematically compared plain and PEGylated LNPs by combining dynamic light scattering, electrophoretic light scattering, and synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) that unveils a striking similarity in size and core structure but a significant reduction in surface charge. Upon administration to human embryonic kidney (HEK 293) cells, plain and PEGylated LNPs were internalized through different endocytic routes, as revealed by spatiotemporal correlation spectroscopy. An imaging-derived mean square displacement (iMSD) analysis shows that PEGylated LNPs exhibit a significantly stronger preference for caveolae-mediated endocytosis (CAV) and clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) pathways compared to plain LNPs, with these latter being better tailored to MCR-dependent internalization and trafficking. This suggests that PEG plays a crucial role in directing LNPs toward specific cellular uptake routes. Further studies should explore how PEG-mediated endocytosis impacts intracellular trafficking and ultimately translates to therapeutic efficacy, guiding the design of next-generation LNP delivery systems.","PeriodicalId":501473,"journal":{"name":"ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ubiquitination plays a prominent role in the regulation of physiological pathways. Since the first mention of Ub in protein degradation pathways, a plethora of nonproteolytic functions of this post-translational modification have been identified and investigated in detail. In addition, several other structurally and functionally related proteins have been identified and investigated for their Ub-like structures and functions. Ubiquitination and Ub-like modifications play vital roles in modulating the pathways involved in crucial biological processes and thus affect the global proteome. In this Review, we provide a snapshot of pathways, substrates, diseases, and novel therapeutic targets that are associated with ubiquitination or Ub-like modifications. In the past few years, a large number of proteomic studies have identified pools of ubiquitinated proteins (ubiquitylomes) involved or induced in healthy or stressed conditions. These comprehensive studies involving identification of new ubiquitination substrates and sites contribute enormously to our understanding of ubiquitination in more depth. However, with the current tools, there are certain limitations that need to be addressed. We review recent technological advancements in ubiquitylomic studies and their limitations and challenges. Overall, large-scale ubiquitylomic studies contribute toward understanding global ubiquitination in the contexts of normal and disease conditions.","PeriodicalId":501473,"journal":{"name":"ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key metabolites significantly contributing to the wound exudates include betaine, lactic acid, carnitine, choline, creatine, and metformin (a widely used first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes). These molecules are known to influence wound healing processes, such as collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, inflammation modulation, and energy metabolism. Notably, the presence of drugs such as metformin and beclomethasone in the exudates suggests significant pharmacodynamic interactions that could influence wound healing.

Addressing TNBC metastasis necessitates innovative approaches and novel therapeutics to specifically target its propensity for dissemination to distant organs. Targeted therapies capable of reversing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) play a crucial role in suppressing metastasis and enhancing the treatment response. Beauvericin, a promising fungal secondary metabolite, exhibits significant potential in diminishing the viability of EMT-induced TNBC cells by triggering intracellular oxidative stress, as evidenced by an enhanced reactive oxygen species level and reduced mitochondrial transmembrane potential. In monolayer cultures, it has exhibited an IC<sub>50</sub> of 2.3 μM in both MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells, while in 3D spheroids, the IC<sub>50</sub> values are 9.7 and 7.1 μM, respectively. Beauvericin has also reduced the migratory capability of MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231 cells by 1.5- and 1.7-fold, respectively. Both qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis have shown significant upregulation in the expression of epithelial marker (E-cadherin) and downregulation in the expression of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, vimentin, Snail, Slug, and β-catenin), following treatment, indicating reversal of EMT. Furthermore, beauvericin has suppressed the Notch signaling pathway by substantially downregulating Notch-1, Notch-3, Hes-1, and cyclinD3 expression and induced autophagy as observed by elevated expression of autophagy markers LC3 and Beclin-1. In conclusion, beauvericin has successfully downregulated TNBC cell survival by inducing oxidative stress and suppressed their migratory potential by reversing EMT through the inhibition of Notch signaling and activation of autophagy.","PeriodicalId":501473,"journal":{"name":"ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
