Biomimetic Design of Manganese-Doped Carbon Dot Nanozymes with Ultrahigh SOD-Like Activity for ALS Management

ABSTRACT: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease without cure. Mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress are considered critical factors in ALS pathogenesis. Here, we design carbon dot superoxide dismutase (SOD) nanozymes with manganese doping (Mn@CDs) by screening for the optimal active site according to the special structures of natural SODs. Mn interacts with N and O in the CD scaffold, optimizing its structure, enhancing electron transfer and superoxide anion binding, and achieving superhigh specific activity of more than 7×104 U/mg. Theoretical calculations reveal the SOD-like activity of Mn@CDs from both kinetic and thermodynamic perspectives, identifying MnN₂O₂ (with amide-derived N) as the most likely active center. After being applied in ALS therapy, Mn@CDs which target and accumulate in mitochondria, effectively prevent oxidative stress and protect mitochondria from abnormalities in morphology, quantity, and function. Hence, administration of Mn@CDs prolonged survival by 14.5 days, with a 93% increase over the effect of edaravone. These results suggest that Mn@CD hold significant potential as a promising therapeutic candidate for ALS treatment.

Efficient and economical iron metabolism of Aspergillus fumigatus protects its mitochondria in the absence of Mn-superoxide dismutase

Project description:The importance of manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), an evolutionarily ancient metalloenzyme maintaining the integrity and functions of mitochondria, was studied in oxidative stress treated Aspergillus fumigatus cultures. Deletion of the Mn-SOD gene (sodB) increased both the menadione sodium bisulfite (MSB) elicited oxidative stress, and the deferiprone (DFP) induced iron limitation stress sensitivity of the strain. Moreover, DFP treatment enhanced the MSB sensitivity of both the gene deletion mutant and the reference strain. Concurring with these results, RNS sequencing data also demonstrated that deletion of sodB largely altered the MSB induced oxidative stress response. The difference between the oxidative stress responses of the two strains manifested mainly in the intensity of the response. Importantly, upregulation of “Ribosome protein”, “Iron uptake”, and Fe-S cluster assembly” genes, alterations in the transcription of “Fe-S cluster protein” genes, downregulation of “Heme binding protein” genes under MSB stress were characteristic for only the DsodB gene deletion mutant. We assume that the elevated superoxide level generated by MSB treatment may have destroyed Fe-S cluster proteins of mitochondria in the absence of SodB mediated protection. Re-synthesis of Fe-S cluster proteins enhanced translation and increased iron demand changing iron metabolism and increasing DFP sensitivity considerably.

Transcriptomic analyses reveal carbon dot-based seed priming in regulation of root growth in rice

Project description:Carbon dots (CDs) can affect plant growth and disease resistance and assist siRNA/DNA delivery. Salvia miltiorrhiza-Derived Carbon Dots were recently found to facilitate plants to adapt to environmental stresses through amplifying Ca2+ signaling and scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). More importantly, CDs can be degraded into CO2 and H2O within plant cells, thereby having fewer biosafety issues as compared to those undegradable ones and receiving more attentions in the plant community. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying effects of CD priming on plant growth and development have not been well characterized. In this study, we conducted transcriptomic assays and aim to reveal how CD priming affect root development through transcriptional reprogramming in rice.

Bacterial Superoxide Dismutase variants, metal-loaded or apo - structural dynamics study

Project description:The proteins are a pair of closely related superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes from the Gram positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus. SodA is a Mn-specific SOD (MnSOD), which is inactive when loaded with Fe, whereas SodM is a 'cambialistic' SOD (camSOD), which is catalytically active with either Mn or Fe as a cofactor. Their sequences are 75% identical across their 199 amino acid sequences: the crystal structures of each enzyme in each metal-loaded form: Mn-loaded MnSOD SodA: PDB ID 5N56 Fe-loaded MnSOD SodA: PDB ID 6EX3 Mn-loaded camSOD SodM: PDB ID 5N57 Fe-loaded camSOD SodM: PDB ID 6EX4 The resulting structures (all to approximately 2A resolution) showed no significant differences that indicated molecular reasons for the differences in activity. Because of the differences in activity, therefore, the project aimed to compare three forms of these enzymes to determine whether there are any differences in the dynamics of regions of their structure, most notably those within the active site and the putative substrate access route(s).

Gene expression from pericytes and endothelial cells

Project description:Aims: Vascular wall resident stem cells (SCs) hold great promise for cardiovascular regenerative therapy. This study evaluated the impact of oxidative stress on the viability and functionality of saphenous vein'derived pericytes (SVPs), SVPs'deriv ed cells and terminally differentiated vascular cells. We also investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the SVP resistance to oxidative stress. Results: SVPs exhibit a significantly higher resistance to oxidative stress resulting in reduced apoptosis upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide in comparison to endothelial cells (ECs). This was attributed to upregulation of genes encoding for anti'oxidant enzymes, especially superoxide dismutases (SODs) and catalase. Pharmacological inhibition of SODs increased ROS levels in SVPs and impaired their survival. Furthermore, we confirm that, when exposed to differentiation stimuli, SVPs are able to generate mesodermic lineages. Interestingly, differentiation of SVPs resulted in SOD down'regulation and increased apoptosis upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide. Oxidative stress caused an incremental increase on SVPs migration, whilst being inhibitory for the ECs. Additionally, oxidative stress did not impair SVPs capacity to promote angiogenesis in vitro. Innovations: This study for the first time demonstrates that SCs resident in veins of cardiovascular patients are endowed with enhanced detoxifier and antioxidant system. Conclusions: SVPs expanded from vein remnants of coronary artery bypass graft surgery express antioxidant defense mechanisms which allow them resist to high levels of ROS. These properties highlight the potential of SVPs in cardiovascular regenerative medicine. 2 groups 3 replicates

Mitochondria enriched proteome from heart of heart Sod2 knockout mice LC MS/MS

Project description:Superoxide dismutases (SOD) convert superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and therefore provide an important ROS defence mechanism. SOD2 is the sole superoxide dismutase in mitochondrial matrix and thus SOD2 knockout mice can be utilized to analyse what effects increased oxidative stress has on mitochondrial proteome. To this end, we purified heart mitochondria from heart Sod2 knockout mice (Sod2 Ckmm cre) and controls and analysed their proteome with label free LS MS/MS.

Natural plant-derived superoxide dismutase nanoenzyme for sepsis-induced liver injury therapy.

Project description:Sepsis-induced liver injury is an important cause of septicemia deaths, this injury is characterized by an overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the liver, which activates the inflammatory response and results in the release of numerous inflammatory factors, ultimately leading to liver damage. Thus, the development of medicines capable of eliminating ROS and reducing inflammatory factors holds significant prospects. In this study, we synthesized and characterized a natural superoxide dismutase-mimicking carbon dots (G-CDs) form a greenery Glycyrrhiza with distinctive ROS scavenging ability for SILI therapy. The abundant surface unsaturated groups especially oxhydry and carbonyl groups enable G-CDs to exhibit excellent SOD-like enzyme activity exceeding 10000 U/mg and significantly reduce the excessive production of ROS and inflammatory factors. In addition, G-CDs reduced inflammation, oxidative damage, and tissue damage in the liver of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced SILI mice model. Mechanistically, G-CDs protect liver tissue by activating Keap-1/Nrf-2 mediated antioxidant signaling and inhibiting NF-κB-dependent inflammatory responses. In conclusion, this study establishes the potential of G-CDs as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment SILI.

heart/muscle-specific MnSOD-deficient mouse

Project description:To investigate the pathological significance of excess oxidative stress in the heart, we generated heart/muscle-specific manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) -deficient mice on a C57BL/6 background using the Cre-loxP system uder the control of the muscle reatin kinase (MCK) promoter. The mutant mice developed progressive congestive heart failure with dilated cardiomyopathy and physical disability and died with a median survival rate of 15.4 ± 4.0 weeks. The pathological changes in our model were compatible with human cardiac aging. To investigate the transcriptional alterations in the mutant heart, we carried out an Affymetrix microarray analysis for comparison between the mutant and normal heart at 16 weeks of age. Keywords = Mn-SOD Keywords = manganese superoxide dismutase Keywords = knockout Keywords = heart failure Keywords = heart Keywords = muscle Keywords: parallel sample

Genome wide analysis points towards subtype specific diseases in different genetic forms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Project description:We established iPSCs from healthy donors, FUS-ALS and SOD1-ALS patients. Using our differentiation protocol originally developed by Reinhardt et al.,2013, we diferentiated these iPSCs toward spinal motor neurons (MNs) and reproduce ALS pathology in a dish. To extend our understanding of finding different molecular mechanisms and pathways related to FUS- and SOD mutations in ALS disease, we have performed a comprehensive gene expression profiling study using microarray hybridization of the iPSC-derived MN models from control individuals and carefully compared with those from FUS-ALS and SOD1-ALS patients. In addition, we further analyzed previously published independent datasets containing the genome-wide RNA profiling of iPSC-derived MN samples from patients with FUS and SOD1 mutations and controls. This microaray dataset GSE10638 (Fujimori et al., 2018) was retrieved from GEO database and was screened to identifiy potential drug candidates which suppressed the detected ALS-related phenotypes of these ALS models. Finally, we made a systematic comparison with our results to the ones independently obtained previously.Here through this study, we create a gene profile of ALS by analyzing the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), the kyoto encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, the interactome as well as transcription factor profiles (TF) that would identify altered functional/molecular signatures and their interactions at both transcriptional (mRNAs) and translational levels (hub proteins and TFs) which stands validation across the different datasets (including different differentiation protocols etc.). By doing so we provide condensed pathophysiological pathways of FUS-ALS and SOD1-ALSto better understand the biological mechanisms underlying motor neuron disease.

The protective effect of edaravone on TDP-43 plus oxidative stress-induced neurotoxicity in neuronal cells: Analysis of its neuroprotective mechanisms using RNA sequencing

Project description:Edaravone is a free-radical scavenger drug that was recently approved for the treatment of amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease. A pathological hallmark of ALS is the accumulation of ubiquitinated or phosphorylated aggregates of the 43-kDa transactive response DNA binding protein (TDP-43) within the cytoplasm of motor neurons. This study revealed the efficacy of edaravone in preventing neuronal cell death in a TDP-43 proteinopathy model and analyzed the molecular changes associated with the neuroprotection. The viability of the neuronal cells expressing TDP-43 was reduced by oxidative stress, and edaravone (≥10 μmol/L) protected in a concentration-dependent manner against the neurotoxic insult. Differential gene expression analysis revealed changes among pathways related to nuclear erythroid 2-related-factor (Nrf2)-mediated oxidative stress response in cells expressing TDP-43. In edaravone-treated cells express-ing TDP-43, significant changes in gene expression were also identified among Nrf2-oxidative re-sponse, unfolded protein response, and autophagy pathways. In addition, the expression of genes belonging to phosphatidylinositol metabolism pathways was modified. These findings suggest that the neuroprotective effect of edaravone involves the prevention of TDP-43 misfolding and en-hanced clearance of pathological TDP-43 in TDP-43 proteinopathy.
