Among environmental factors, air pollution is a vital issue in modern life. Despite extensive considerations, it remains uncertain how pollution mediates neurodegeneration in AD. Beta-amyloids and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins are the two main pathological markers that have been studied in AD so far. Tau protein is basically a phosphoprotein whose functions are controlled by phosphorylation. The function of tau protein is to be located on the surface of microtubules and stabilize them. Studies have shown that phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau) exists in cis and trans conformations at Thr231, among which cis is highly neurotoxic. The Pin1 enzyme performs the conversion of cis to trans or vice versa. In this study, an experimental mouse model was designed to investigate the formation of cis p-tau by inducing air pollution. In this way, mice were randomly exposed to pollution at 2-week, 1-month, and 2-month intervals. We investigated the formation of phosphorylated cis tau form during air pollution on mouse brains using Western blots and immunofluorescence. The fluorescent imaging results and Western blotting analysis of mouse brains revealed a significant accumulation of cis p-tau in pollution-treated mice models compared to the healthy control mice. According to Western blot results, air pollution induction caused a significant decrease in Pin1 protein. The results clearly show that the tauopathy observed during air pollution is mediated through the formation of cis tau. Our findings unravel tauopathy mysteries upon pollution and would help find a possible therapeutic target to fight the devastating disorder caused by modern life.</p>","PeriodicalId":9274,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology and applied biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142079214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excessive levels of 5-FU in the human body can lead to notable adverse effects, including severe diarrhea, infection, mouth sores, skin peeling, skin inflammation, and ulcers, which are important and relatively common digestive side effects. In addition, 5-FU is an analog of uracil and also has similarities to pyrimidines. Therefore, it is not easy to separate them. This research presented a sensor capable of detecting drugs in minimal amounts. An alginate-derived carbon dot (CD) was synthesized by unique optical properties that obey an on-off fluorescence mechanism for 5-FU sensing. Introducing copper (Cu(I)) to CDs results in fluorescence quenching through electron transfer. However, when 5-FU is added to the system as an oxidizing agent, a redox reaction occurs on the surface of the CDs, which leads to the restoration of fluorescence as Cu(I) is altered to Cu(II). Experimental results showed a strong linear correlation (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.99) in the concentration range of 1.00-45.00 nM, with the following linear regression, and revealed the relative standard deviation (RSD%) and detection limit of 2.57%, and 1.00 nM, respectively. These results validated the excellent detection capability of the proposed method even at low concentrations of 5-FU and in the presence of other drugs and interfering substances. Also, the recovery of 5-FU (varies from 100.46% to 113.7%, with RSD equal to 1.89-3.63) in serum samples indicates the absence of matrix interference in the determination of 5-FU.

The characterization of the nanocomposite involved X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to analyze its structure and functional groups, whereas scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were utilized to examine its morphology. TEM analysis revealed the formation of roll-GO, forming multi-walled tubes with inner and outer diameters of 50 and 70 nm, respectively.

The well diffusion method was used to determine the inhibition zones, revealing that the nanocomposite demonstrated broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against all the pathogens tested. The largest inhibition zones were observed for B. subtilis, followed by S. aureus, E. coli, and Salmonella sp. Notably, the inhibition zones increased when the samples were exposed to light compared to dark conditions, with increases of 33 and 18 mm noted for B. subtilis. This enhanced activity under light exposure is attributed to the photocatalytic properties of the nanocomposite. The antibacterial mechanism is based on both adsorption and degradation processes. Moreover, antibacterial activity was found to increase with increasing concentrations of nanoparticles, ranging from 100 to 500 ppm. This suggests that the nanocomposite has potential as an alternative to antibiotics, especially considering the growing issue of bacterial resistance.

The glucose oxidase enzyme was immobilized by the entrapment method in polyaniline-polypyrrole-poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) film. Glucose determination was made based on the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, which is formed as a result of the enzymatic reaction on the surface of the prepared biosensor at +0.40 V. The working range for the glucose determination of the biosensor was determined. The effects of pH and temperature on the response of the glucose biosensor were investigated. The reusability and shelf life of the biosensor were determined. The effects of interference in biological environments on the response of the biosensor were investigated. Glucose determination was made in the biological fluid (blood) with the prepared biosensor. This study has a feature that sheds light on biosensor studies to be developed for the detection of substances in the human body, such as glucose, uric acid, and urea. This article will set an example for future scientific research on the development of a sensor for other biological fluids in the human body, such as the sensor developed for blood samples. In addition, this developed sensor provides an innovation that improves the quality of life of patients by allowing them to constantly monitor their glucose levels and intervene when necessary.</p>","PeriodicalId":9274,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology and applied biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141900932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
