Further analysis of the Cu- and Cd-binding proteins from the anatomic view suggested that DBH and NOS1 were obviously increased in the leading edge than the central tumor region.

In relation to this, we analyzed the impact of pH on Fe³⁺-DOX complex formation. The optimal conditions for Fe³⁺-DOX complex formation are pH = 4 and [Fe³⁺]/[DOX] = 6 molar ratio. HESI-MS showed that Fe³⁺-DOX complex has 1:1 stoichiometry. Raman spectra of Fe³⁺-DOX complex indicate the presence of two Fe³⁺-binding sites in DOX structure: tricarbonylamide group of ring A and phenolic-diketone oxygens of BCD rings. The Fe³⁺-DOX complex formed at pH = 4 is less susceptible to oxidation than DOX at this pH. The increase of pH induces the decomposition of Fe³⁺-DOX complex without oxidative degradation of DOX. The pH dependence of Fe³⁺-DOX complex formation may promote unwanted effects of DOX, impeding the absorption that mainly takes place in duodenum.

In this work, Se uptake and Se isotope fractionation were measured during the biofortification of baker’s yeast (<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>)—a product widely used in dietary Se supplementation and in cancer prevention. On the other hand, metabolic labeling with ¹⁵N is a valuable tool in mass spectrometry-based comparative proteomics. For Se-yeast, such labeling would facilitate the assessment of Se impact on yeast proteome; however, the question arises whether the presence of ¹⁵N in the microorganisms affects Se uptake and its isotope fractionation. To address the above-mentioned aspects, extracellularly reduced and cell-incorporated Se fractions were analyzed by hydride generation–multi-collector inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (HG MC ICP–MS). It was found that extracellularly reduced Se was enriched in light isotopes; for cell-incorporated Se, the change was even more pronounced, which provides new evidence of mass fractionation during biological selenite reduction. In the presence of ¹⁵N, a weaker preference for light isotopes was observed in both, extracellular and cell-incorporated Se. Furthermore, a significant increase in Se uptake for ¹⁵N compared to ¹⁴N biomass was found, with good agreement between hydride generation microwave plasma–atomic emission spectrometry (HG MP–AES) and quadrupole ICP–MS results. Biological effects observed for heavy nitrogen suggest ¹⁵N-driven alteration at the proteome level, which facilitated Se access to cells with decreased preference for light isotopes.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":603,"journal":{"name":"JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"28 7","pages":"655 - 667"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41079722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Curiously, several published studies have suggested significant mechanistic differences between phosphaplatins and conventional platinum antitumor drugs. Controversial findings have been published regarding the role of RRD2 binding to DNA in the mechanism of its antiproliferative activity in cancer cells. This prompted us to perform detailed studies to confirm or rule out the role of RRD2 binding to DNA in its antiproliferative effect in cancer cells. Here, we show that RRD2 exhibits excellent antiproliferative activity in various cancer cell lines, with IC₅₀ values in the low micromolar or submicromolar range. Moreover, the results of this study demonstrate that DNA lesions caused by RRD2 contribute to killing cancer cells treated with this phosphaplatin derivative. Additionally, our data indicate that RRD2 accumulates in cancer cells but to a lesser extent than cisplatin. On the other hand, the efficiency of cisplatin and RRD2, after they accumulate in cancer cells, in binding to nuclear DNA is similar. Our results also show that RRD2 in the medium, in which the cells were cultured before RRD2 accumulated inside the cells, remained intact. This result is consistent with the view that RRD2 is activated by releasing free pyrophosphate only in the environment of cancer cells, thereby allowing RRD2 to bind to nuclear DNA.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":603,"journal":{"name":"JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"28 7","pages":"669 - 678"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00775-023-02017-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41080301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ligands 1-(2′-thiopyridyl)isoquinoline (1TPIQ) and 2-(2′-thiopyridyl)quinoline (2TPQ) were synthesized and characterized before being electrochemically investigated in the presence of different oxidizing and reducing agents in solution with a physiological pH relevant to the brain. The electrochemical response of each compound with copper was studied by employing both hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as an oxidizing agent and ascorbic acid (AA) as an antioxidant during analysis using cyclic voltammetry (CV). The cyclic voltammograms of each quinoline were compared with similar ligands that contained aromatic N-donor groups but no sulfur groups to provide relative electrochemical properties of each complex in solution. In a dose-dependent manner, it was observed that AA exerted dual-efficacy when combined with these chelating ligands: promoting synergistic metal binding while also scavenging harmful ROS, suggesting AA is an effective adjuvant therapeutic agent. Overall, this study shows how coordination by sulfur-bridged quinoline ligands can alter copper electrochemistry in the presence of AA to limit ROS production in solution.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":603,"journal":{"name":"JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"28 7","pages":"643 - 653"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41079967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have shown that stress conditions can induce their overexpression, but the role of those globins is still unclear. To better understand the functions of nsHb, the reactivity of rice Hb1 toward hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) has been studied in vitro. Our results show that recombinant rice Hb1 dimerizes through dityrosine cross-links in the presence of H₂O₂. By site-directed mutagenesis, we suggest that tyrosine 112 located in the FG loop is involved in this dimerization. Interestingly, this residue is not conserved in the sequence of the five rice non-symbiotic hemoglobins. Stopped-flow spectrophotometric experiments have been performed to measure the catalytic constants of rice Hb and its variants using the oxidation of guaiacol. We have shown that Tyrosine112 is a residue that enhances the peroxidase activity of rice Hb1, since its replacement by an alananine leads to a decrease of guaiacol oxidation. In contrast, tyrosine 151, a conserved residue which is buried inside the heme pocket, reduces the protein reactivity. Indeed, the variant Tyr151Ala exhibits a higher peroxidase activity than the wild type. Interestingly, this residue affects the heme coordination and the replacement of the tyrosine by an alanine leads to the loss of the distal ligand. Therefore, even if the amino acid at position 151 does not participate to the formation of the dimer, this residue modulates the peroxidase activity and plays a role in the hexacoordinated state of the heme.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":603,"journal":{"name":"JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry","volume":"28 6","pages":"613 - 626"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00775-023-02014-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5118540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
