Abstract

Molecular imprinting polymers (MIP) have been applied to capture and stabilize complex protein matrices at plasmonic sensor surfaces. Ultrathin MIP layers at the surface of gold nanodisks enable the label free quantification of global interactions of polyphenols with protein mixtures. Separate polyphenols (catechin, procyanidin B3- catechin dimer, and PGG-pentagalloyl glucose) give specific and different binding levels to the MIP supported saliva plasmonic sensor. The demonstrated biosensor has application to study bioavailability of polyphenols or evaluation of local retention of small drug molecules.

(Nature Publishing Group)The accumulation of β-sheet-rich amyloid fibrils or aggregates is a complex, multistep process that is assocd. with cellular toxicity in a no. of human protein misfolding disorders, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. It involves the formation of various transient and intransient, on- and off-pathway aggregate species, whose structure, size and cellular toxicity are largely unclear. Here we demonstrate redirection of amyloid fibril formation through the action of a small mol., resulting in off-pathway, highly stable oligomers. The polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate efficiently inhibits the fibrillogenesis of both α-synuclein and amyloid-β by directly binding to the natively unfolded polypeptides and preventing their conversion into toxic, on-pathway aggregation intermediates. Instead of β-sheet-rich amyloid, the formation of unstructured, nontoxic α-synuclein and amyloid-β oligomers of a new type is promoted, suggesting a generic effect on aggregation pathways in neurodegenerative diseases.

(Blackwell Publishing Ltd.)Cerebral deposition of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) in the brain is an invariant feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A consistent protective effect of wine consumption on AD has been documented by epidemiol. studies. In the present study, we used fluorescence spectroscopy with thioflavin T and electron microscopy to examine the effects of wine-related polyphenols (myricetin, morin, quercetin, kaempferol (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin) on the formation, extension, and destabilization of β-amyloid fibrils (fAβ) at pH 7.5 at 37°C in vitro. All examd. polyphenols dose-dependently inhibited formation of fAβ from fresh Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42), as well as their extension. Moreover, these polyphenols dose-dependently destabilized preformed fAβs. The overall activity of the mols. examd. was in the order of: myricetin = morin = quercetin > kaempferol > (+)-catechin = (-)-epicatechin. The effective concns. (EC50) of myricetin, morin and quercetin for the formation, extension and destabilization of fAβs were in the order of 0.1-1 μM. In cell culture expts., myricetin-treated fAβ were suggested to be less toxic than intact fAβ, as demonstrated by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Although the mechanisms by which these polyphenols inhibit fAβ formation from Aβ, and destabilize pre-formed fAβ in vitro are still unclear, polyphenols could be a key mol. for the development of preventives and therapeutics for AD.

(Blackwell Publishing Ltd.)A review. The formation of well-ordered fibrillar protein deposits is common to a large group of amyloid-assocd. disorders. This group consists of several major human diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, prion diseases, and type II diabetes. Currently, there is no approved therapeutic agent directed towards the formation of fibrillar assemblies, which have been recently shown to have a key role in the cytotoxic nature of amyloidogenic proteins. One important approach in the development of therapeutic agents is the use of small mols. that specifically and efficiently inhibit the aggregation process. Several small polyphenol mols. have been demonstrated to remarkably inhibit the formation of fibrillar assemblies in vitro and their assocd. cytotoxicity. Yet, the inhibition mechanism was mostly attributed to the antioxidative properties of these polyphenol compds. Based on several observations demonstrating that polyphenols are capable of inhibiting amyloid fibril formation in vitro, regardless of oxidative conditions, and in view of their structural similarities, we suggest an addnl. mechanism of action. This mechanism is assuming structural constraints and specific arom. interactions, which direct polyphenol inhibitors to the amyloidogenic core. This proposed mechanism is highly relevant for future de novo inhibitors' design as therapeutic agents for the treatment of amyloid-assocd. diseases.

(Nature Publishing Group)Ethanol-free exts. from 23 red wines, four white wines, one rose wine and one red grape juice were prepd. to det. their inhibitory effect on the synthesis of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a vasoactive peptide that is crucial in the development of coronary atherosclerosis. The degree of inhibition of ET-1 by red wine was correlated with its total phenol content. The red-grape juice did not significantly inhibit ET-1 synthesis, while no effect was obsd. with white and rose wine. The polyphenol content of the red wines were responsible for their inhibitory effect on ET-1 synthesis. The red wine ext. caused a significant change in the cell morphol. and a redistribution of phosphotyrosine staining. These effects on tyrosine phosphorylation were due to the modified tyrosine-kinase signaling in endothelial cells. Thus, moderate intake of red wine can prevent coronary heart disease.

(Blackwell Science Ltd.)A review with 99 refs. The concept that cancer can be prevented, or its onset postponed, by certain diet-derived substances is eliciting considerable interest. Agents which interfere with tumor promotion and progression are of potential clin. value. As chemopreventive agents have to be administered over a long period of time to establish whether they possess efficacy in humans, it is important to establish their lack of toxicity. The desire to select the best drug candidates for clin. trials and the necessity to monitor efficacy in the short and intermediate terms give the identification of specific mechanism-based in vivo markers of biol. activity a high priority. Antioxidn., inhibition of arachidonic acid metab., modulation of cellular signal transduction pathways, inhibition of hormone and growth factor activity, and inhibition of oncogene activity are discussed as mechanisms by which the soybean constituent genistein, the curry ingredient curcumin, and the vitamin A analog 13-cis-retinoic acid exert their tumor suppression activity. Better understanding of the mechanisms will help to screen and discover new chemopreventive agents and to identify surrogate markers to assess the outcome of clin. chemoprevention trials.

(American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics)A review with about 1000 refs. Flavonoids are nearly ubiquitous in plants and are recognized as the pigments responsible for the colors of leaves, esp. in autumn. They are rich in seeds, citrus fruits, olive oil, tea, and red wine. They are low mol. wt. compds. composed of a three-ring structure with various substitutions. This basic structure is shared by tocopherols (vitamin E). Flavonoids can be subdivided according to the presence of an oxy group at position 4, a double bond between carbon atoms 2 and 3, or a hydroxyl group in position 3 of the C (middle) ring. These characteristics appear to also be required for best activity, esp. antioxidant and antiproliferative, in the systems studied. The particular hydroxylation pattern of the B ring of the flavonoles increases their activities, esp. in inhibition of mast cell secretion. Certain plants and spices contg. flavonoids have been used for thousands of years in traditional Eastern medicine. In spite of the voluminous literature available, however, Western medicine has not yet used flavonoids therapeutically, even though their safety record is exceptional. Suggestions are made where such possibilities may be worth pursuing.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. While fruits and vegetables are recommended for prevention of cancer and other diseases, their active ingredients (at the mol. level) and their mechanisms of action less well understood. Extensive research during the last half century has identified various mol. targets that can potentially be used not only for the prevention of cancer but also for treatment. However, lack of success with targeted monotherapy resulting from bypass mechanisms has forced researchers to employ either combination therapy or agents that interfere with multiple cell-signaling pathways. In this review, we present evidence that numerous agents identified from fruits and vegetables can interfere with several cell-signaling pathways. The agents include curcumin (turmeric), resveratrol (red grapes, peanuts, and berries), genistein (soybean), diallyl sulfide (allium), S-allyl cysteine (allium), allicin (garlic), lycopene (tomato), capsaicin (red chilli), diosgenin (fenugreek), 6-gingerol (ginger), ellagic acid (pomegranate), ursolic acid (apples, pears, prunes), silymarin (milk thistle), anethol (anise, camphor, and fennel), catechins (green tea), eugenol (cloves), indole-3-carbinol (cruciferous vegetables), limonene (citrus fruits), β-carotene (carrots), and dietary fiber. For instance, the cell-signaling pathways inhibited by curcumin alone include NF-κB, AP-1, STAT3, Akt, Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, caspases, PARP, IKK, EGFR, HER2, JNK, MAPK, COX2, and 5-LOX. The active principle identified in fruit and vegetables and the mol. targets modulated may be the basis for how these dietary agents not only prevent but also treat cancer and other diseases. This work reaffirms what Hippocrates said 25 centuries ago, let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by higher plants, which play multiple essential roles in plant physiol. and have potential healthy properties on human organism, mainly as antioxidants, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antihypertensive, and antimicrobial agents. In the present review the antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activities of the most active polyphenol classes are reported, highlighting, where investigated, the mechanisms of action and the structure-activity relationship. Moreover, considering that the microbial resistance has become an increasing global problem, and there is a compulsory need to find out new potent antimicrobial agents as accessories to antibiotic therapy, the synergistic effect of polyphenols in combination with conventional antimicrobial agents against clin. multidrug-resistant microorganisms is discussed.

(MDPI AG)A review. Polyphenols constitute one of the most common groups of substances in plants. Polyphenolic compds. have been reported to have a wide range of biol. activities, many of which are related to their conventional antioxidant action; however, increasing scientific knowledge has highlighted their potential activity in preventing oral disease, including the prevention of tooth decay. The aim of this review is to show the emerging findings on the anti-cariogenic properties of polyphenols, which have been obtained from several in vitro studies investigating the effects of these bioactive mols. against Streptococcus mutans, as well as in vivo studies. The anal. of the literature supports the anti-bacterial role of polyphenols on cariogenic streptococci, suggesting (1) a direct effect against S. mutans; (2) an interaction with microbial membrane proteins inhibiting the adherence of bacterial cells to the tooth surface; and (3) the inhibition of glucosyl transferase and amylase. However, more studies, particularly in vivo and in situ, are necessary to establish conclusive evidence for the effectiveness and the clin. applications of these compds. in the prevention of dental caries. It is essential to better det. the nature and distribution of these compds. in our diet and to identify which of the hundreds of existing polyphenols are likely to provide the greatest effects.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. Epigenetics refers to heritable changes that are not encoded in the DNA sequence itself, but play an important role in the control of gene expression. In mammals, epigenetic mechanisms include changes in DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs. Although epigenetic changes are heritable in somatic cells, these modifications are also potentially reversible, which makes them attractive and promising avenues for tailoring cancer preventive and therapeutic strategies. Burgeoning evidence in the last decade has provided unprecedented clues that diet and environmental factors directly influence epigenetic mechanisms in humans. Dietary polyphenols from green tea, turmeric, soybeans, broccoli and others have shown to possess multiple cell-regulatory activities within cancer cells. More recently, we have begun to understand that some of the dietary polyphenols may exert their chemopreventive effects in part by modulating various components of the epigenetic machinery in humans. In this article, the authors 1st discuss the contribution of diet and environmental factors on epigenetic alterations; subsequently, the authors provide a comprehensive review of literature on the role of various dietary polyphenols. In particular, we summarize the current knowledge on a large no. of dietary agents and their effects on DNA methylation, histone modifications and regulation of expression of the non-coding miRNAs in various in vitro and in vivo models. We emphasize how increased understanding of the chemopreventive effects of dietary polyphenols on specific epigenetic alterations may provide unique and yet unexplored novel and highly effective chemopreventive strategies for reducing the health burden of cancer and other diseases in humans.

Here we review studies evaluating modulation of miRNAs by dietary and pharmacol. agents, which could potentially be exploited for inhibition of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. This review covers natural agents, including vitamins, oligoelements, polyphenols, isoflavones, indoles, isothiocyanates, phospholipids, saponins, anthraquinones and polyunsatd. fatty acids, and synthetic agents, including thiols, nuclear receptor agonists, histone deacetylase inhibitors, antiinflammatory drugs, and selective estrogen receptor modulators. As many as 145 miRNAs, involved in the control of a variety of carcinogenesis mechanisms, were modulated by these agents, either individually or in combination. Most studies used cancer cells in vitro with the goal of modifying their phenotype by changing miRNA expression profiles. In vivo studies evaluated regulation of miRNAs by chemopreventive agents in organs of mice and rats, either untreated or exposed to carcinogens, with the objective of evaluating their safety and efficacy. The tissue specificity of miRNAs could be exploited for the chemoprevention of site-specific cancers, and the study of polymorphic miRNAs is expected to predict the individual response to chemopreventive agents as a tool for developing new prevention strategies.

(Elsevier)A review. Curcumin is a well-known dietary polyphenol derived from the rhizomes of turmeric, an Indian spice. The anticancer effect of curcumin has been demonstrated in many cell and animal studies, and recent research has shown that curcumin can target cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs are proposed to be responsible for initiating and maintaining cancer, and contribute to recurrence and drug resistance. A no. of studies have suggested that curcumin has the potential to target CSCs through regulation of CSC self-renewal pathways (Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, sonic hedgehog) and specific microRNAs involved in acquisition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The potential impact of curcumin, alone or in combination with other anticancer agents, on CSCs was evaluated as well. Furthermore, the safety and tolerability of curcumin have been well-established by numerous clin. studies. Importantly, the low bioavailability of curcumin has been dramatically improved through the use of structural analogs or special formulations. More clin. trials are underway to investigate the efficacy of this promising agent in cancer chemoprevention and therapy. In this article, we review the effects of curcumin on CSC self-renewal pathways and specific microRNAs, as well as its safety and efficacy in recent human studies. In conclusion, curcumin could be a very promising adjunct to traditional cancer treatments.

(Istituto Superiore di Sanita)A review. Excessive inflammation is considered as a crit. factor in many human diseases, including cancer, obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and aging. Compds. derived from botanic sources, such as phenolic compds., have shown anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo. Recent data suggest that polyphenols can work as modifiers of signal transduction pathways to elicit their beneficial effects. These natural compds. express anti-inflammatory activity by modulation of pro-inflammatory gene expression such as cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, nitric oxide synthases and several pivotal cytokines, mainly by acting through nuclear factor-kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling. This review will discuss recent data on the control of inflammatory signalling exerted by some dietary polyphenols contained in Mediterranean diet. A clear understanding of the mol. mechanisms of action of phenolic compds. is crucial in the valuation of these potent mols. as potential prophylactic and therapeutic agents.

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. Healthy individuals can harbor microscopic tumors and dysplastic foci in different organs in an undetectable and asymptomatic state for many years. These lesions do not progress in the absence of angiogenesis or inflammation. Targeting both processes before clin. manifestation can prevent tumor growth and progression. Angioprevention is a chemoprevention approach that interrupts the formation of new blood vessels when tumor cell foci are in an indolent state. Many efficacious chemopreventive drugs function by preventing angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment. Blocking the vascularization of incipient tumors should maintain a dormancy state such that neoplasia or cancer exist without disease. The current limitations of antiangiogenic cancer therapy may well be related to the use of antiangiogenic agents too late in the disease course. In this Review, we suggest mechanisms and strategies for using antiangiogenesis agents in a safe, preventive clin. angioprevention setting, proposing different levels of clin. angioprevention according to risk, and indicate potential drugs to be employed at these levels. Finally, angioprevention may go well beyond cancer in the prevention of a range of chronic disorders where angiogenesis is crucial, including different forms of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, ocular disorders, and neurodegeneration.

(Elsevier B.V.)Mol. mechanisms underlying modulation of inflammatory responses in primary human keratinocytes by plant polyphenols (PPs), namely the glycosylated phenylpropanoid verbascoside, the stilbenoid resveratrol and its glycoside polydatin, and the flavonoid quercetin and its glycoside rutin were evaluated. As non-lethal stimuli, the prototypic ligand for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transforming growth factor alpha (TGFalpha), the combination of tumor necrosis factor (TNFalpha) and interferon (IFNgamma) (T/I), UVA + UVB irradn., and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used. We demonstrated differential modulation of inflammatory responses in keratinocytes at signal transduction, gene transcription, and protein synthesis levels as a function of PP chem. structure, the pro-inflammatory trigger used, and PP interaction with intracellular detoxifying systems. The PPs remarkably inhibited constitutive, LPS- and T/I-induced but not TGFalpha-induced ERK phosphorylation. They also suppressed NFkappaB activation by LPS and T/I. Verbascoside and quercetin invariably impaired EGFR phosphorylation and UV-assocd. aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-mediated signaling, while rutin, polydatin and resveratrol did not affect EGFR phosphorylation and further activated AhR machinery in UV-exposed keratinocytes. In general, PPs down-regulated gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines/enzymes, except significant up-regulation of IL-8 obsd. under stimulation with TGFalpha. Both spontaneous and T/I-induced release of IL-8 and IP-10 was suppressed, although 50 μM resveratrol and polydatin up-regulated IL-8. At this concn., resveratrol activated both gene expression and de novo synthesis of IL-8 and AhR-mediated mechanisms were involved. We conclude that PPs differentially modulate the inflammatory response of human keratinocytes through distinct signal transduction pathways, including AhR and EGFR.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Prevention of cancer through dietary intervention recently has received an increasing interest, and dietary polyphenols have become not only important potential chemopreventive, but also therapeutic, natural agents. Polyphenols have been reported to interfere at the initiation, promotion and progression of cancer. They might lead to the modulation of proteins in diverse pathways and require the integration of different signals for the final chemopreventive or therapeutic effect. Polyphenols have been demonstrated to act on multiple key elements in signal transduction pathways related to cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, inflammation, angiogenesis and metastasis; however, these mol. mechanisms of action are not completely characterized and many features remain to be elucidated. The aim of this review is to provide insights into the mol. basis of potential chemopreventive and therapeutic activities of dietary polyphenols with emphasis in their ability to control intracellular signaling cascades considered as relevant targets in a cancer preventive approach.

(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.)The widespread consumption of diets rich in anthocyanin and catechin content prompted the evaluation of their in vitro inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and on the proliferation of human cancer cell lines. Five anthocyanidins consisting of cyanidin (1), delphinidin (2), pelargonidin (3), peonidin (4), and malvidin (5) were tested for COX-1 and -2 enzyme inhibitory activities at 40 μM. Eleven catechins consisting of (+)-catechin (6), (-)-catechin (7), (±)-catechin (8), (+)-epicatechin (9), (-)-epicatechin (10), (-)-epigallocatechin (11), (-)-gallocatechin (12), (-)-epicatechin gallate (13), (-)-catechin gallate (14), (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (15), and (-)-gallocatechin gallate (16) were tested for inhibitory effects of COX-1 and -2 enzymes at 80 μM. Of the compds. tested, the galloyl derivs. of the catechins 11-15, cyanidin and malvidin , showed the best COX inhibitory activities compared with the com. anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen (at 10 μM), naproxen (at 10 μM), Vioxx (at 1.67 ppm), and Celebrex (at 1.67 ppm). Inhibition of the proliferation of the human cancer cell lines MCF-7 (breast), SF-268 (central nervous system, CNS), HCT-116 (colon), and NCI-H460 (lung) was evaluated at concns. between 100 and 6.25 μM compared with the com. std., adriamycin (doxorubicin) at 6.25 μM. At 100-μM concns., anthocyanidins 1-5 and catechins 6-10 did not inhibit proliferation of the four cell lines.

(Nature Publishing Group)1 We have previously shown that the flavonoid luteolin inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory mols. induced by LPS. In the present study we tested the ability of luteolin to block signaling pathways implicated in LPS-induced inflammatory gene expression in macrophages. 2 Exposure of the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 to LPS increased phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family members ERK1/2, p38 and JNK1/2 in a time-dependent manner. Pretreatment of RAW 264.7 with luteolin inhibited the LPS-induced ERK1/2 and p38, but not JNK1/2, phosphorylation, and blocked the LPS-induced TNF-α release. 3 To investigate which of these pathways contribute to the inhibitory effects of luteolin on TNF-α release, cells were pretreated with pharmacol. inhibitors of these pathways; PD98059 and SB203580 when used alone failed to inhibit TNF-α release, whereas pretreatment with both agents attenuated TNF-α release. 4 We have previously shown that luteolin blocks Akt phosphorylation in response to LPS in RAW 264.7 macrophages. To det. the role of Akt in TNF-α release, cells were transiently transfected with a dominant neg. form of Akt (K179M). Overexpression of K179M Akt did not alter LPS-induced TNF-α release, suggesting that inhibition of this kinase does not mediate the inhibitory action of luteolin. 5 In addn., DRB (a pharmacol. inhibitor of CK2) blocked TNF-α release in a concn.-dependent manner, whereas co-treatment of cells with luteolin and DRB did not have an additive effect. 6 We conclude that luteolin interferes with LPS signaling by reducing the activation of several MAPK family members and that its inhibitory action of TNF-α release correlates with inhibition of ERK, p38 and CK2 activation.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)We report a simple, ultra-sensitive, and straightforward method for non-labeling detection of a cancer biomarker, using Rayleigh light scattering spectroscopy of the individual nanosensor based on antibody-antigen recognition and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) λmax shifts. By exptl. measuring the refractive index sensitivity of Au nanorods, the Au nanorod with an aspect ratio of ∼3.5 was proven optimal for the LSPR sensing. To reduce the steric hindrance effect as well as to immobilize a large amt. of ligand on the nanoparticle surface, various mixts. contg. different molar ratios of HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)6OCH2COOH and HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)3OH were applied to form different self-assembled monolayer surfaces. The results showed that the best molar ratio for antibody conjugation was 1 : 10. When using individual Au nanorod sensors for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA), the lowest concn. recorded was ∼1 aM (∼6 × 105 mols.), corresponding to LSPR λmax shifts of ∼4.2 nm. These results indicate that sensor miniaturization down to the nanoscale level, the redn. of steric hindrance, and optimization of size, shape, and aspect ratio of nanorods have led to a significant improvement in the detection limit of sensors.

(Wiley-Blackwell)A localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor surface was fabricated by the deposition of gold nanorods on a glass substrate and subsequent immobilization of the DNA aptamer, which specifically bind to thrombin. This LSPR aptamer sensor showed a response of 6-nm λmax shift for protein binding with the detection limit of at least 10pM, indicating one of the highest sensitivities achieved for thrombin detection by optical extinction LSPR. We also tested the LSPR sensor fabricated using gold bipyramid, which showed higher refractive index sensitivity than the gold nanorods, but the overall response of gold bipyramid sensor appears to be 25% less than that of the gold nanorod substrate, despite the approx. twofold higher refractive index sensitivity. XPS anal. showed that this is due to the low surface d. of aptamers on the gold bipyramid compared with gold nanorods. The low surface d. of the aptamers on the gold bipyramid surface may be due to the effect of shape of the nanostructure on the kinetics of aptamer monolayer formation. The small size of aptamers relative to other bioreceptors is the key to achieving high sensitivity by biosensors on the basis of LSPR, demonstrated here for protein binding. The generality of aptamer sensors for protein detection using gold nanorod and gold nanobipyramid substrates is anticipated to have a large impact in the important development of sensors toward biomarkers, environmental toxins, and warfare agents.

(American Chemical Society)Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) offers powerful means for sensitive label-free detection of protein-protein interactions in a highly multiplexed format. The authors have here established self-assembly and surface modification of plasmonic nanostructures on solid support suitable for quant. protein-protein interaction anal. by spectroscopic and microscopic LSPR detection. These architectures were obtained by layer-by-layer assembly via electrostatic attraction. Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were adsorbed on a biocompatible amine-terminated poly-(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer brush and further functionalized by poly-L-lysine graft PEG (PLL-PEG) copolymers. Stable yet reversible protein immobilization was achieved via tris-(nitrilotriacetic acid) groups incorporated into the PLL-PEG coating. Thus, site-specific immobilization of His-tagged proteins via complexed Ni(II) ions was achieved. Functional protein immobilization on the surface was confirmed by real-time detection of LSPR scattering by reflectance spectroscopy.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Interactions of peptides and proteins with inorg. surfaces are important to both natural and artificial systems; however, a detailed understanding of such interactions is lacking. In this study, we applied new approaches to quant. measure the binding of amino acids and proteins to gold surfaces. Real-time surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements showed that TEM1-β-lactamase inhibitor protein (BLIP) interacts only weakly with Au nanoparticles (NPs). However, fusion of three histidine residues to BLIP (3H-BLIP) resulted in a significant increase in the binding to the Au NPs, which further increased when the histidine tail was extended to six histidines (6H-BLIP). Further increasing the no. of His residues had no effect on the binding. A parallel study using continuous (111)-textured Au surfaces and single-cryst., (111)-oriented, Au islands by ellipsometry, FTIR, and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy further confirmed the results, validating the broad applicability of Au NPs as model surfaces. Evaluating the binding of all other natural amino acid homotripeptides fused to BLIP (except Cys and Pro) showed that arom. and pos.-charged residues bind preferentially to Au with respect to small aliph. and neg. charged residues, and that the rate of assocn. is related to the potency of binding. The binding of all fusions was irreversible. These findings were substantiated by SPR measurements of synthesized, free, sol. tripeptides using Au-NP-modified SPR chips. Here, however, the binding was reversible allowing for detn. of binding affinities that correlate with the binding potencies of the related BLIP fusions. Competition assays performed between 3H-BLIP and the histidine tripeptide (3 His) suggest that Au binding residues promote the adsorption of proteins on the surface, and by this facilitate the irreversible interaction of the polypeptide chain with Au. The binding of amino acids to Au was simulated by using a continuum solvent model, showing agreement with the exptl. values. These results, together with the obsd. binding potencies and kinetics of the BLIP fusions and free peptides, suggest a binding mechanism that is markedly different from biol. protein-protein interactions.

KGaA)A bioassay strategy is designed to detect small-mol. targets such as cocaine, potassium, and adenosine, based on gold nanoparticles and engineered DNA aptamers. In this design, an aptamer is engineered to be two pieces of random, coil-like single-stranded DNA, which reassembles into the intact aptamer tertiary structure in the presence of the specific target. Au nanoparticles can effectively differentiate between these two states via their characteristic surface-plasmon resonance-based color change. Using this method, cocaine in the low-micromolar range is selectively detected within minutes. This strategy is also generic and applicable to the detection of several other small-mol. targets.

(American Chemical Society)A simple and straightforward technique for coating microplate wells with molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) to develop assays similar to the ELISA is presented here for the first time. NanoMIPs were synthesized by a solid-phase approach with an immobilized vancomycin (template) and characterized using Biacore 3000, dynamic light scattering, and electron microscopy. Immobilization, blocking, and washing conditions were optimized in microplate format. The detection of vancomycin was achieved in competitive binding expts. with a horseradish peroxidase-vancomycin conjugate. The assay was capable of measuring vancomycin in buffer and in blood plasma within the range of 0.001-70 nM with a detection limit of 0.0025 nM (2.5 pM). The sensitivity of the assay was 3 orders of magnitude better than a previously described ELISA based on antibodies. In these expts., nanoMIPs showed high affinity and minimal interference from blood plasma components. Immobilized nanoMIPs were stored for 1 mo at room temp. without any detrimental effects to their binding properties. The high affinity of nanoMIPs and the lack of a requirement for cold chain logistics make them an attractive alternative to traditional antibodies used in ELISA. - 34Abbas, A.; Tian, L.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The development of biomol. imprinting over the last decade has raised promising perspectives in replacing natural antibodies with artificial antibodies. A significant no. of reports have been dedicated to imprinting of org. and inorg. nanostructures, but very few were performed on nanomaterials with a transduction function. Herein, a relatively fast and efficient plasmonic hot spot-localized surface imprinting of gold nanorods using reversible template immobilization and siloxane copolymn. is described. The technique enables a fine control of the imprinting process at the nanometer scale and provides a nanobiosensor with high selectivity and reusability. Proof of concept was established by the detection of neutrophil gelatinase-assocd. lipocalin (NGAL), a biomarker for acute kidney injury, using localized surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. The work represents a valuable step towards plasmonic nanobiosensors with synthetic antibodies for label-free and cost-efficient diagnostic assays. It is expected that this novel class of surface imprinted plasmonic nanomaterials will open up new possibilities in advancing biomedical applications of plasmonic nanostructures.

(Elsevier B.V.)This work introduces two major changes to the conventional protocol for designing plastic antibodies: (i) the imprinted sites were created with charged monomers while the surrounding environment was tailored using neutral material; and (ii) the protein was removed from its imprinted site by means of a protease, aiming at preserving the polymeric network of the plastic antibody. To our knowledge, these approaches were never presented before and the resulting material was named here as smart plastic antibody material (SPAM). As proof of concept, SPAM was tailored on top of disposable gold-screen printed electrodes (Au-SPE), following a bottom-up approach, for targeting myoglobin (Myo) in a point-of-care context. The existence of imprinted sites was checked by comparing a SPAM modified surface to a neg. control, consisting of similar material where the template was omitted from the procedure and called non-imprinted materials (NIMs). All stages of the creation of the SPAM and NIM on the Au layer were followed by both electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). AFM imaging was also performed to characterize the topog. of the surface. There are two major reasons supporting the fact that plastic antibodies were effectively designed by the above approach: (i) they were visualized for the first time by AFM, being present only in the SPAM network; and (ii) only the SPAM material was able to rebind to the target protein and produce a linear elec. response against EIS and square wave voltammetry (SWV) assays, with NIMs showing a similar-to-random behavior. The SPAM/Au-SPE devices displayed linear responses to Myo in EIS and SWV assays down to 3.5 μg/mL and 0.58 μg/mL, resp., with detection limits of 1.5 and 0.28 μg/mL. SPAM materials also showed negligible interference from troponin T (TnT), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and urea under SWV assays, showing promising results for point-of-care applications when applied to spiked biol. fluids.

(Elsevier Science B.V.)The adsorption kinetics of three model proteins--human serum albumin, fibrinogen and Hb--has been measured and compared using three different exptl. techniques: optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS), ellipsometry (ELM) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D). The studies were complemented by also monitoring the corresponding antibody interactions with the pre-adsorbed protein layer. All measurements were performed with identically prepd. titanium oxide coated substrates. All three techniques are suitable to follow in-situ kinetics of protein-surface and protein-antibody interactions, and provide quant. values of the adsorbed adlayer mass. The results have, however, different phys. contents. The optical techniques OWLS and ELM provide in most cases consistent and comparable results, which can be straightforwardly converted to adsorbed protein molar ('dry') mass. QCM-D, produces measured values that are generally higher in terms of mass. This, in turn, provides valuable, complementary information in two respects: (i) the mass calcd. from the resonance frequency shift includes both protein mass and water that binds or hydrodynamically couples to the protein adlayer; and (ii) anal. of the energy dissipation in the adlayer and its magnitude in relation to the frequency shift (c.f. adsorbed mass) provides insight about the mech./structural properties such as viscoelasticity.

(Nature Publishing Group)The accumulation of β-sheet-rich amyloid fibrils or aggregates is a complex, multistep process that is assocd. with cellular toxicity in a no. of human protein misfolding disorders, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. It involves the formation of various transient and intransient, on- and off-pathway aggregate species, whose structure, size and cellular toxicity are largely unclear. Here we demonstrate redirection of amyloid fibril formation through the action of a small mol., resulting in off-pathway, highly stable oligomers. The polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate efficiently inhibits the fibrillogenesis of both α-synuclein and amyloid-β by directly binding to the natively unfolded polypeptides and preventing their conversion into toxic, on-pathway aggregation intermediates. Instead of β-sheet-rich amyloid, the formation of unstructured, nontoxic α-synuclein and amyloid-β oligomers of a new type is promoted, suggesting a generic effect on aggregation pathways in neurodegenerative diseases.

(Blackwell Publishing Ltd.)Cerebral deposition of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) in the brain is an invariant feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A consistent protective effect of wine consumption on AD has been documented by epidemiol. studies. In the present study, we used fluorescence spectroscopy with thioflavin T and electron microscopy to examine the effects of wine-related polyphenols (myricetin, morin, quercetin, kaempferol (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin) on the formation, extension, and destabilization of β-amyloid fibrils (fAβ) at pH 7.5 at 37°C in vitro. All examd. polyphenols dose-dependently inhibited formation of fAβ from fresh Aβ(1-40) and Aβ(1-42), as well as their extension. Moreover, these polyphenols dose-dependently destabilized preformed fAβs. The overall activity of the mols. examd. was in the order of: myricetin = morin = quercetin > kaempferol > (+)-catechin = (-)-epicatechin. The effective concns. (EC50) of myricetin, morin and quercetin for the formation, extension and destabilization of fAβs were in the order of 0.1-1 μM. In cell culture expts., myricetin-treated fAβ were suggested to be less toxic than intact fAβ, as demonstrated by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Although the mechanisms by which these polyphenols inhibit fAβ formation from Aβ, and destabilize pre-formed fAβ in vitro are still unclear, polyphenols could be a key mol. for the development of preventives and therapeutics for AD.

(Blackwell Publishing Ltd.)A review. The formation of well-ordered fibrillar protein deposits is common to a large group of amyloid-assocd. disorders. This group consists of several major human diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, prion diseases, and type II diabetes. Currently, there is no approved therapeutic agent directed towards the formation of fibrillar assemblies, which have been recently shown to have a key role in the cytotoxic nature of amyloidogenic proteins. One important approach in the development of therapeutic agents is the use of small mols. that specifically and efficiently inhibit the aggregation process. Several small polyphenol mols. have been demonstrated to remarkably inhibit the formation of fibrillar assemblies in vitro and their assocd. cytotoxicity. Yet, the inhibition mechanism was mostly attributed to the antioxidative properties of these polyphenol compds. Based on several observations demonstrating that polyphenols are capable of inhibiting amyloid fibril formation in vitro, regardless of oxidative conditions, and in view of their structural similarities, we suggest an addnl. mechanism of action. This mechanism is assuming structural constraints and specific arom. interactions, which direct polyphenol inhibitors to the amyloidogenic core. This proposed mechanism is highly relevant for future de novo inhibitors' design as therapeutic agents for the treatment of amyloid-assocd. diseases.

The degree of inhibition of ET-1 by red wine was correlated with its total phenol content. The red-grape juice did not significantly inhibit ET-1 synthesis, while no effect was obsd. with white and rose wine. The polyphenol content of the red wines were responsible for their inhibitory effect on ET-1 synthesis. The red wine ext. caused a significant change in the cell morphol. and a redistribution of phosphotyrosine staining. These effects on tyrosine phosphorylation were due to the modified tyrosine-kinase signaling in endothelial cells. Thus, moderate intake of red wine can prevent coronary heart disease.

(Blackwell Science Ltd.)A review with 99 refs. The concept that cancer can be prevented, or its onset postponed, by certain diet-derived substances is eliciting considerable interest. Agents which interfere with tumor promotion and progression are of potential clin. value. As chemopreventive agents have to be administered over a long period of time to establish whether they possess efficacy in humans, it is important to establish their lack of toxicity. The desire to select the best drug candidates for clin. trials and the necessity to monitor efficacy in the short and intermediate terms give the identification of specific mechanism-based in vivo markers of biol. activity a high priority. Antioxidn., inhibition of arachidonic acid metab., modulation of cellular signal transduction pathways, inhibition of hormone and growth factor activity, and inhibition of oncogene activity are discussed as mechanisms by which the soybean constituent genistein, the curry ingredient curcumin, and the vitamin A analog 13-cis-retinoic acid exert their tumor suppression activity. Better understanding of the mechanisms will help to screen and discover new chemopreventive agents and to identify surrogate markers to assess the outcome of clin. chemoprevention trials.

(American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics)A review with about 1000 refs. Flavonoids are nearly ubiquitous in plants and are recognized as the pigments responsible for the colors of leaves, esp. in autumn. They are rich in seeds, citrus fruits, olive oil, tea, and red wine. They are low mol. wt. compds. composed of a three-ring structure with various substitutions. This basic structure is shared by tocopherols (vitamin E). Flavonoids can be subdivided according to the presence of an oxy group at position 4, a double bond between carbon atoms 2 and 3, or a hydroxyl group in position 3 of the C (middle) ring. These characteristics appear to also be required for best activity, esp. antioxidant and antiproliferative, in the systems studied. The particular hydroxylation pattern of the B ring of the flavonoles increases their activities, esp. in inhibition of mast cell secretion. Certain plants and spices contg. flavonoids have been used for thousands of years in traditional Eastern medicine. In spite of the voluminous literature available, however, Western medicine has not yet used flavonoids therapeutically, even though their safety record is exceptional. Suggestions are made where such possibilities may be worth pursuing.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. While fruits and vegetables are recommended for prevention of cancer and other diseases, their active ingredients (at the mol. level) and their mechanisms of action less well understood. Extensive research during the last half century has identified various mol. targets that can potentially be used not only for the prevention of cancer but also for treatment. However, lack of success with targeted monotherapy resulting from bypass mechanisms has forced researchers to employ either combination therapy or agents that interfere with multiple cell-signaling pathways. In this review, we present evidence that numerous agents identified from fruits and vegetables can interfere with several cell-signaling pathways. The agents include curcumin (turmeric), resveratrol (red grapes, peanuts, and berries), genistein (soybean), diallyl sulfide (allium), S-allyl cysteine (allium), allicin (garlic), lycopene (tomato), capsaicin (red chilli), diosgenin (fenugreek), 6-gingerol (ginger), ellagic acid (pomegranate), ursolic acid (apples, pears, prunes), silymarin (milk thistle), anethol (anise, camphor, and fennel), catechins (green tea), eugenol (cloves), indole-3-carbinol (cruciferous vegetables), limonene (citrus fruits), β-carotene (carrots), and dietary fiber. For instance, the cell-signaling pathways inhibited by curcumin alone include NF-κB, AP-1, STAT3, Akt, Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, caspases, PARP, IKK, EGFR, HER2, JNK, MAPK, COX2, and 5-LOX. The active principle identified in fruit and vegetables and the mol. targets modulated may be the basis for how these dietary agents not only prevent but also treat cancer and other diseases. This work reaffirms what Hippocrates said 25 centuries ago, let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by higher plants, which play multiple essential roles in plant physiol. and have potential healthy properties on human organism, mainly as antioxidants, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antihypertensive, and antimicrobial agents. In the present review the antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal activities of the most active polyphenol classes are reported, highlighting, where investigated, the mechanisms of action and the structure-activity relationship. Moreover, considering that the microbial resistance has become an increasing global problem, and there is a compulsory need to find out new potent antimicrobial agents as accessories to antibiotic therapy, the synergistic effect of polyphenols in combination with conventional antimicrobial agents against clin. multidrug-resistant microorganisms is discussed.

(MDPI AG)A review. Polyphenols constitute one of the most common groups of substances in plants. Polyphenolic compds. have been reported to have a wide range of biol. activities, many of which are related to their conventional antioxidant action; however, increasing scientific knowledge has highlighted their potential activity in preventing oral disease, including the prevention of tooth decay. The aim of this review is to show the emerging findings on the anti-cariogenic properties of polyphenols, which have been obtained from several in vitro studies investigating the effects of these bioactive mols. against Streptococcus mutans, as well as in vivo studies. The anal. of the literature supports the anti-bacterial role of polyphenols on cariogenic streptococci, suggesting (1) a direct effect against S. mutans; (2) an interaction with microbial membrane proteins inhibiting the adherence of bacterial cells to the tooth surface; and (3) the inhibition of glucosyl transferase and amylase. However, more studies, particularly in vivo and in situ, are necessary to establish conclusive evidence for the effectiveness and the clin. applications of these compds. in the prevention of dental caries. It is essential to better det. the nature and distribution of these compds. in our diet and to identify which of the hundreds of existing polyphenols are likely to provide the greatest effects.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review. Epigenetics refers to heritable changes that are not encoded in the DNA sequence itself, but play an important role in the control of gene expression. In mammals, epigenetic mechanisms include changes in DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs. Although epigenetic changes are heritable in somatic cells, these modifications are also potentially reversible, which makes them attractive and promising avenues for tailoring cancer preventive and therapeutic strategies. Burgeoning evidence in the last decade has provided unprecedented clues that diet and environmental factors directly influence epigenetic mechanisms in humans. Dietary polyphenols from green tea, turmeric, soybeans, broccoli and others have shown to possess multiple cell-regulatory activities within cancer cells. More recently, we have begun to understand that some of the dietary polyphenols may exert their chemopreventive effects in part by modulating various components of the epigenetic machinery in humans. In this article, the authors 1st discuss the contribution of diet and environmental factors on epigenetic alterations; subsequently, the authors provide a comprehensive review of literature on the role of various dietary polyphenols. In particular, we summarize the current knowledge on a large no. of dietary agents and their effects on DNA methylation, histone modifications and regulation of expression of the non-coding miRNAs in various in vitro and in vivo models. We emphasize how increased understanding of the chemopreventive effects of dietary polyphenols on specific epigenetic alterations may provide unique and yet unexplored novel and highly effective chemopreventive strategies for reducing the health burden of cancer and other diseases in humans.

Here we review studies evaluating modulation of miRNAs by dietary and pharmacol. agents, which could potentially be exploited for inhibition of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. This review covers natural agents, including vitamins, oligoelements, polyphenols, isoflavones, indoles, isothiocyanates, phospholipids, saponins, anthraquinones and polyunsatd. fatty acids, and synthetic agents, including thiols, nuclear receptor agonists, histone deacetylase inhibitors, antiinflammatory drugs, and selective estrogen receptor modulators. As many as 145 miRNAs, involved in the control of a variety of carcinogenesis mechanisms, were modulated by these agents, either individually or in combination. Most studies used cancer cells in vitro with the goal of modifying their phenotype by changing miRNA expression profiles. In vivo studies evaluated regulation of miRNAs by chemopreventive agents in organs of mice and rats, either untreated or exposed to carcinogens, with the objective of evaluating their safety and efficacy. The tissue specificity of miRNAs could be exploited for the chemoprevention of site-specific cancers, and the study of polymorphic miRNAs is expected to predict the individual response to chemopreventive agents as a tool for developing new prevention strategies.

(Elsevier)A review. Curcumin is a well-known dietary polyphenol derived from the rhizomes of turmeric, an Indian spice. The anticancer effect of curcumin has been demonstrated in many cell and animal studies, and recent research has shown that curcumin can target cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs are proposed to be responsible for initiating and maintaining cancer, and contribute to recurrence and drug resistance. A no. of studies have suggested that curcumin has the potential to target CSCs through regulation of CSC self-renewal pathways (Wnt/β-catenin, Notch, sonic hedgehog) and specific microRNAs involved in acquisition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The potential impact of curcumin, alone or in combination with other anticancer agents, on CSCs was evaluated as well. Furthermore, the safety and tolerability of curcumin have been well-established by numerous clin. studies. Importantly, the low bioavailability of curcumin has been dramatically improved through the use of structural analogs or special formulations. More clin. trials are underway to investigate the efficacy of this promising agent in cancer chemoprevention and therapy. In this article, we review the effects of curcumin on CSC self-renewal pathways and specific microRNAs, as well as its safety and efficacy in recent human studies. In conclusion, curcumin could be a very promising adjunct to traditional cancer treatments.

(Istituto Superiore di Sanita)A review. Excessive inflammation is considered as a crit. factor in many human diseases, including cancer, obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and aging. Compds. derived from botanic sources, such as phenolic compds., have shown anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo. Recent data suggest that polyphenols can work as modifiers of signal transduction pathways to elicit their beneficial effects. These natural compds. express anti-inflammatory activity by modulation of pro-inflammatory gene expression such as cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, nitric oxide synthases and several pivotal cytokines, mainly by acting through nuclear factor-kappa B and mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling. This review will discuss recent data on the control of inflammatory signalling exerted by some dietary polyphenols contained in Mediterranean diet. A clear understanding of the mol. mechanisms of action of phenolic compds. is crucial in the valuation of these potent mols. as potential prophylactic and therapeutic agents.

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. Healthy individuals can harbor microscopic tumors and dysplastic foci in different organs in an undetectable and asymptomatic state for many years. These lesions do not progress in the absence of angiogenesis or inflammation. Targeting both processes before clin. manifestation can prevent tumor growth and progression. Angioprevention is a chemoprevention approach that interrupts the formation of new blood vessels when tumor cell foci are in an indolent state. Many efficacious chemopreventive drugs function by preventing angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment. Blocking the vascularization of incipient tumors should maintain a dormancy state such that neoplasia or cancer exist without disease. The current limitations of antiangiogenic cancer therapy may well be related to the use of antiangiogenic agents too late in the disease course. In this Review, we suggest mechanisms and strategies for using antiangiogenesis agents in a safe, preventive clin. angioprevention setting, proposing different levels of clin. angioprevention according to risk, and indicate potential drugs to be employed at these levels. Finally, angioprevention may go well beyond cancer in the prevention of a range of chronic disorders where angiogenesis is crucial, including different forms of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, ocular disorders, and neurodegeneration.

(Elsevier B.V.)Mol. mechanisms underlying modulation of inflammatory responses in primary human keratinocytes by plant polyphenols (PPs), namely the glycosylated phenylpropanoid verbascoside, the stilbenoid resveratrol and its glycoside polydatin, and the flavonoid quercetin and its glycoside rutin were evaluated. As non-lethal stimuli, the prototypic ligand for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) transforming growth factor alpha (TGFalpha), the combination of tumor necrosis factor (TNFalpha) and interferon (IFNgamma) (T/I), UVA + UVB irradn., and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used. We demonstrated differential modulation of inflammatory responses in keratinocytes at signal transduction, gene transcription, and protein synthesis levels as a function of PP chem. structure, the pro-inflammatory trigger used, and PP interaction with intracellular detoxifying systems. The PPs remarkably inhibited constitutive, LPS- and T/I-induced but not TGFalpha-induced ERK phosphorylation. They also suppressed NFkappaB activation by LPS and T/I. Verbascoside and quercetin invariably impaired EGFR phosphorylation and UV-assocd. aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-mediated signaling, while rutin, polydatin and resveratrol did not affect EGFR phosphorylation and further activated AhR machinery in UV-exposed keratinocytes. In general, PPs down-regulated gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines/enzymes, except significant up-regulation of IL-8 obsd. under stimulation with TGFalpha. Both spontaneous and T/I-induced release of IL-8 and IP-10 was suppressed, although 50 μM resveratrol and polydatin up-regulated IL-8. At this concn., resveratrol activated both gene expression and de novo synthesis of IL-8 and AhR-mediated mechanisms were involved. We conclude that PPs differentially modulate the inflammatory response of human keratinocytes through distinct signal transduction pathways, including AhR and EGFR.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Prevention of cancer through dietary intervention recently has received an increasing interest, and dietary polyphenols have become not only important potential chemopreventive, but also therapeutic, natural agents. Polyphenols have been reported to interfere at the initiation, promotion and progression of cancer. They might lead to the modulation of proteins in diverse pathways and require the integration of different signals for the final chemopreventive or therapeutic effect. Polyphenols have been demonstrated to act on multiple key elements in signal transduction pathways related to cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, inflammation, angiogenesis and metastasis; however, these mol. mechanisms of action are not completely characterized and many features remain to be elucidated. The aim of this review is to provide insights into the mol. basis of potential chemopreventive and therapeutic activities of dietary polyphenols with emphasis in their ability to control intracellular signaling cascades considered as relevant targets in a cancer preventive approach.

(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc.)The widespread consumption of diets rich in anthocyanin and catechin content prompted the evaluation of their in vitro inhibitory effects on cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and on the proliferation of human cancer cell lines. Five anthocyanidins consisting of cyanidin (1), delphinidin (2), pelargonidin (3), peonidin (4), and malvidin (5) were tested for COX-1 and -2 enzyme inhibitory activities at 40 μM. Eleven catechins consisting of (+)-catechin (6), (-)-catechin (7), (±)-catechin (8), (+)-epicatechin (9), (-)-epicatechin (10), (-)-epigallocatechin (11), (-)-gallocatechin (12), (-)-epicatechin gallate (13), (-)-catechin gallate (14), (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (15), and (-)-gallocatechin gallate (16) were tested for inhibitory effects of COX-1 and -2 enzymes at 80 μM. Of the compds. tested, the galloyl derivs. of the catechins 11-15, cyanidin and malvidin , showed the best COX inhibitory activities compared with the com. anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen (at 10 μM), naproxen (at 10 μM), Vioxx (at 1.67 ppm), and Celebrex (at 1.67 ppm). Inhibition of the proliferation of the human cancer cell lines MCF-7 (breast), SF-268 (central nervous system, CNS), HCT-116 (colon), and NCI-H460 (lung) was evaluated at concns. between 100 and 6.25 μM compared with the com. std., adriamycin (doxorubicin) at 6.25 μM. At 100-μM concns., anthocyanidins 1-5 and catechins 6-10 did not inhibit proliferation of the four cell lines.

(Nature Publishing Group)1 We have previously shown that the flavonoid luteolin inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory mols. induced by LPS. In the present study we tested the ability of luteolin to block signaling pathways implicated in LPS-induced inflammatory gene expression in macrophages. 2 Exposure of the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 to LPS increased phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family members ERK1/2, p38 and JNK1/2 in a time-dependent manner. Pretreatment of RAW 264.7 with luteolin inhibited the LPS-induced ERK1/2 and p38, but not JNK1/2, phosphorylation, and blocked the LPS-induced TNF-α release. 3 To investigate which of these pathways contribute to the inhibitory effects of luteolin on TNF-α release, cells were pretreated with pharmacol. inhibitors of these pathways; PD98059 and SB203580 when used alone failed to inhibit TNF-α release, whereas pretreatment with both agents attenuated TNF-α release. 4 We have previously shown that luteolin blocks Akt phosphorylation in response to LPS in RAW 264.7 macrophages. To det. the role of Akt in TNF-α release, cells were transiently transfected with a dominant neg. form of Akt (K179M). Overexpression of K179M Akt did not alter LPS-induced TNF-α release, suggesting that inhibition of this kinase does not mediate the inhibitory action of luteolin. 5 In addn., DRB (a pharmacol. inhibitor of CK2) blocked TNF-α release in a concn.-dependent manner, whereas co-treatment of cells with luteolin and DRB did not have an additive effect. 6 We conclude that luteolin interferes with LPS signaling by reducing the activation of several MAPK family members and that its inhibitory action of TNF-α release correlates with inhibition of ERK, p38 and CK2 activation.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)We report a simple, ultra-sensitive, and straightforward method for non-labeling detection of a cancer biomarker, using Rayleigh light scattering spectroscopy of the individual nanosensor based on antibody-antigen recognition and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) λmax shifts. By exptl. measuring the refractive index sensitivity of Au nanorods, the Au nanorod with an aspect ratio of ∼3.5 was proven optimal for the LSPR sensing. To reduce the steric hindrance effect as well as to immobilize a large amt. of ligand on the nanoparticle surface, various mixts. contg. different molar ratios of HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)6OCH2COOH and HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)3OH were applied to form different self-assembled monolayer surfaces. The results showed that the best molar ratio for antibody conjugation was 1 : 10. When using individual Au nanorod sensors for the detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA), the lowest concn. recorded was ∼1 aM (∼6 × 105 mols.), corresponding to LSPR λmax shifts of ∼4.2 nm. These results indicate that sensor miniaturization down to the nanoscale level, the redn. of steric hindrance, and optimization of size, shape, and aspect ratio of nanorods have led to a significant improvement in the detection limit of sensors.

(Wiley-Blackwell)A localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor surface was fabricated by the deposition of gold nanorods on a glass substrate and subsequent immobilization of the DNA aptamer, which specifically bind to thrombin. This LSPR aptamer sensor showed a response of 6-nm λmax shift for protein binding with the detection limit of at least 10pM, indicating one of the highest sensitivities achieved for thrombin detection by optical extinction LSPR. We also tested the LSPR sensor fabricated using gold bipyramid, which showed higher refractive index sensitivity than the gold nanorods, but the overall response of gold bipyramid sensor appears to be 25% less than that of the gold nanorod substrate, despite the approx. twofold higher refractive index sensitivity. XPS anal. showed that this is due to the low surface d. of aptamers on the gold bipyramid compared with gold nanorods. The low surface d. of the aptamers on the gold bipyramid surface may be due to the effect of shape of the nanostructure on the kinetics of aptamer monolayer formation. The small size of aptamers relative to other bioreceptors is the key to achieving high sensitivity by biosensors on the basis of LSPR, demonstrated here for protein binding. The generality of aptamer sensors for protein detection using gold nanorod and gold nanobipyramid substrates is anticipated to have a large impact in the important development of sensors toward biomarkers, environmental toxins, and warfare agents.

(American Chemical Society)Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) offers powerful means for sensitive label-free detection of protein-protein interactions in a highly multiplexed format. The authors have here established self-assembly and surface modification of plasmonic nanostructures on solid support suitable for quant. protein-protein interaction anal. by spectroscopic and microscopic LSPR detection. These architectures were obtained by layer-by-layer assembly via electrostatic attraction. Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were adsorbed on a biocompatible amine-terminated poly-(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer brush and further functionalized by poly-L-lysine graft PEG (PLL-PEG) copolymers. Stable yet reversible protein immobilization was achieved via tris-(nitrilotriacetic acid) groups incorporated into the PLL-PEG coating. Thus, site-specific immobilization of His-tagged proteins via complexed Ni(II) ions was achieved. Functional protein immobilization on the surface was confirmed by real-time detection of LSPR scattering by reflectance spectroscopy.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Interactions of peptides and proteins with inorg. surfaces are important to both natural and artificial systems; however, a detailed understanding of such interactions is lacking. In this study, we applied new approaches to quant. measure the binding of amino acids and proteins to gold surfaces. Real-time surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurements showed that TEM1-β-lactamase inhibitor protein (BLIP) interacts only weakly with Au nanoparticles (NPs). However, fusion of three histidine residues to BLIP (3H-BLIP) resulted in a significant increase in the binding to the Au NPs, which further increased when the histidine tail was extended to six histidines (6H-BLIP). Further increasing the no. of His residues had no effect on the binding. A parallel study using continuous (111)-textured Au surfaces and single-cryst., (111)-oriented, Au islands by ellipsometry, FTIR, and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy further confirmed the results, validating the broad applicability of Au NPs as model surfaces. Evaluating the binding of all other natural amino acid homotripeptides fused to BLIP (except Cys and Pro) showed that arom. and pos.-charged residues bind preferentially to Au with respect to small aliph. and neg. charged residues, and that the rate of assocn. is related to the potency of binding. The binding of all fusions was irreversible. These findings were substantiated by SPR measurements of synthesized, free, sol. tripeptides using Au-NP-modified SPR chips. Here, however, the binding was reversible allowing for detn. of binding affinities that correlate with the binding potencies of the related BLIP fusions. Competition assays performed between 3H-BLIP and the histidine tripeptide (3 His) suggest that Au binding residues promote the adsorption of proteins on the surface, and by this facilitate the irreversible interaction of the polypeptide chain with Au. The binding of amino acids to Au was simulated by using a continuum solvent model, showing agreement with the exptl. values. These results, together with the obsd. binding potencies and kinetics of the BLIP fusions and free peptides, suggest a binding mechanism that is markedly different from biol. protein-protein interactions.

KGaA)A bioassay strategy is designed to detect small-mol. targets such as cocaine, potassium, and adenosine, based on gold nanoparticles and engineered DNA aptamers. In this design, an aptamer is engineered to be two pieces of random, coil-like single-stranded DNA, which reassembles into the intact aptamer tertiary structure in the presence of the specific target. Au nanoparticles can effectively differentiate between these two states via their characteristic surface-plasmon resonance-based color change. Using this method, cocaine in the low-micromolar range is selectively detected within minutes. This strategy is also generic and applicable to the detection of several other small-mol. targets.

(American Chemical Society)A simple and straightforward technique for coating microplate wells with molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) to develop assays similar to the ELISA is presented here for the first time. NanoMIPs were synthesized by a solid-phase approach with an immobilized vancomycin (template) and characterized using Biacore 3000, dynamic light scattering, and electron microscopy. Immobilization, blocking, and washing conditions were optimized in microplate format. The detection of vancomycin was achieved in competitive binding expts. with a horseradish peroxidase-vancomycin conjugate. The assay was capable of measuring vancomycin in buffer and in blood plasma within the range of 0.001-70 nM with a detection limit of 0.0025 nM (2.5 pM). The sensitivity of the assay was 3 orders of magnitude better than a previously described ELISA based on antibodies. In these expts., nanoMIPs showed high affinity and minimal interference from blood plasma components. Immobilized nanoMIPs were stored for 1 mo at room temp. without any detrimental effects to their binding properties. The high affinity of nanoMIPs and the lack of a requirement for cold chain logistics make them an attractive alternative to traditional antibodies used in ELISA. - 34Abbas, A.; Tian, L.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)The development of biomol. imprinting over the last decade has raised promising perspectives in replacing natural antibodies with artificial antibodies. A significant no. of reports have been dedicated to imprinting of org. and inorg. nanostructures, but very few were performed on nanomaterials with a transduction function. Herein, a relatively fast and efficient plasmonic hot spot-localized surface imprinting of gold nanorods using reversible template immobilization and siloxane copolymn. is described. The technique enables a fine control of the imprinting process at the nanometer scale and provides a nanobiosensor with high selectivity and reusability. Proof of concept was established by the detection of neutrophil gelatinase-assocd. lipocalin (NGAL), a biomarker for acute kidney injury, using localized surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. The work represents a valuable step towards plasmonic nanobiosensors with synthetic antibodies for label-free and cost-efficient diagnostic assays. It is expected that this novel class of surface imprinted plasmonic nanomaterials will open up new possibilities in advancing biomedical applications of plasmonic nanostructures.

Among all the templates, small mols. have dominated in the synthesis of MIPs. In contrast, progress made in imprinting macromols. has been slow, mainly due to the challenges presented by the size, structure and conformational fragility of biol. macromols. In this review, we focus on discussing some key issues involved in the imprinting of macromols. from recent publications. The similarity and difference between imprinting small mols. and macromols. are highlighted. Other aspects relating to polymer design and function are also discussed.

(Elsevier B.V.)This work introduces two major changes to the conventional protocol for designing plastic antibodies: (i) the imprinted sites were created with charged monomers while the surrounding environment was tailored using neutral material; and (ii) the protein was removed from its imprinted site by means of a protease, aiming at preserving the polymeric network of the plastic antibody. To our knowledge, these approaches were never presented before and the resulting material was named here as smart plastic antibody material (SPAM). As proof of concept, SPAM was tailored on top of disposable gold-screen printed electrodes (Au-SPE), following a bottom-up approach, for targeting myoglobin (Myo) in a point-of-care context. The existence of imprinted sites was checked by comparing a SPAM modified surface to a neg. control, consisting of similar material where the template was omitted from the procedure and called non-imprinted materials (NIMs). All stages of the creation of the SPAM and NIM on the Au layer were followed by both electrochem. impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). AFM imaging was also performed to characterize the topog. of the surface. There are two major reasons supporting the fact that plastic antibodies were effectively designed by the above approach: (i) they were visualized for the first time by AFM, being present only in the SPAM network; and (ii) only the SPAM material was able to rebind to the target protein and produce a linear elec. response against EIS and square wave voltammetry (SWV) assays, with NIMs showing a similar-to-random behavior. The SPAM/Au-SPE devices displayed linear responses to Myo in EIS and SWV assays down to 3.5 μg/mL and 0.58 μg/mL, resp., with detection limits of 1.5 and 0.28 μg/mL. SPAM materials also showed negligible interference from troponin T (TnT), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and urea under SWV assays, showing promising results for point-of-care applications when applied to spiked biol. fluids.

(Elsevier Science B.V.)The adsorption kinetics of three model proteins--human serum albumin, fibrinogen and Hb--has been measured and compared using three different exptl. techniques: optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS), ellipsometry (ELM) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D). The studies were complemented by also monitoring the corresponding antibody interactions with the pre-adsorbed protein layer. All measurements were performed with identically prepd. titanium oxide coated substrates. All three techniques are suitable to follow in-situ kinetics of protein-surface and protein-antibody interactions, and provide quant. values of the adsorbed adlayer mass. The results have, however, different phys. contents. The optical techniques OWLS and ELM provide in most cases consistent and comparable results, which can be straightforwardly converted to adsorbed protein molar ('dry') mass. QCM-D, produces measured values that are generally higher in terms of mass. This, in turn, provides valuable, complementary information in two respects: (i) the mass calcd. from the resonance frequency shift includes both protein mass and water that binds or hydrodynamically couples to the protein adlayer; and (ii) anal. of the energy dissipation in the adlayer and its magnitude in relation to the frequency shift (c.f. adsorbed mass) provides insight about the mech./structural properties such as viscoelasticity.
