    Abstract Some species of the genus Cunninghamella (C. elegans, C. echinulata and C. blaskesleeana) produce the same phase I and phase II metabolites when incubated with xenobiotics as mammals, and thus are considered microbial models of mammalian metabolism. This had made these fungi attractive for metabolism studies with drugs, pesticides and environmental pollutants. As a substantial proportion of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals are fluorinated, their biotransformation has been studied in Cunninghamella fungi and C. elegans in particular. This article details the methods employed for cultivating the fungi in planktonic and biofilm cultures, and extraction and analysis of fluorinated metabolites. Furthermore, protocols for the heterologous expression of Cunninghamella cytochromes P450 (CYPs), which are the enzymes associated with phase I metabolism, are described.

    Abstract Cunninghamella elegans is a long-established microbial model of mammalian drug and xenobiotic metabolism enabled by the actions of cytochrome P450 enzymes that are poorly characterised. In this paper we describe the identification of a new cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase in the fungus that catalyses the biotransformation of a range of structurally distinct xenobiotic substrates. The fungal enzyme was heterologously expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris X-33 alone and in combination with previously identified C. elegans CYP reductases (CPRs A, B and C). Enzyme activity was assessed against a panel of drugs (flurbiprofen, diclofenac and ibuprofen), pesticides (transfluthrin, β-cyfluthrin and λ-cyhalothrin) and a perfluoroalkyl substance (6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol) that were incubated with whole yeast cells expressing CYP5208A3. The biotransformation products were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealing the same metabolites that had been previously observed in the fungus. Co-expression of the CPRs improved metabolite production and the degree of improvement depended on the substrate and the CYP/CPR combination. Optimal pyrethroid biotransformation was achieved with CYP/CPR_C, whereas the best combination for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug hydroxylation was CYP/CPR_A; fluorotelomer alcohol oxidation was only observed with CYP/CPR_B. The change in substrate specificity observed with CYP5208A3 in combination with the different CPRs might help explain how C. elegans can biotransform such a broad spectrum of xenobiotics.

    Abstract The biological synthesis of nanoparticles is a growing research trend because it has numerous pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. The present study describes the preparation, characterization and anti-cancer evaluation of silver nanoparticles synthesized using an aqueous extract of Bergenia ligulata whole plant as a reducing agent. The physiochemical properties of the Bergenia ligulata silver nanoparticles (BgAgNPs) were measured by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotmetry (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis for identifying functional groups, crystallinity, structural and morphological features, respectively. Further, BgAgNps, along with the Bergenia ligulata aqueous extract (BgAE), were investigated for their effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis through MTT, colony-forming assay, wound-healing assay and flow cytometry-based approaches. The cytotoxic effects were more pronounced in cells treated with BgAgNps in comparison to BgAE. These effects were evidenced by the decreasing cell viability, migration capacity and loss of characteristic morphological features. In addition, BgAgNps unveiled significant induction of apoptosis in human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, possibly through oxidative stress-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Moreover, molecular mechanism-based studies revealed that BgAgNps robustly augmented p53 levels and pro-apoptotic downstream targets of p53 like Bax and cleaved caspase 3 in MCF-7 cells. Of note, BgAgNps had little or no cytotoxic effect on p53-deficient cancer cells (Mda-mb-231 and SW-620). These findings confirm that the BgAgNPs exhibited superior anti-cancer potential and could be exploited as a promising, cost-effective, and environmentally benign strategy in treating this disease in the future.

    Abstract The filamentous fungus Cunninghamella echinulata is a model of mammalian xenobiotic metabolism. Under certain conditions it grows as a biofilm, which is a natural form of immobilisation and enables the fungus to catalyse repeated biotransformations. Putative signalling molecules produced by other Cunninghamella spp., such as 3-hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol, do not affect the biofilm growth of C. echinulata, suggesting that it employs a different molecule to regulate biofilm growth. In this paper we report that 2-phenylethanol is produced in higher concentrations in planktonic cultures of C. echinulata than when the fungus is grown as a biofilm. We demonstrate that exogenously added 2-phenylethanol inhibits biofilm growth of C. echinulata but has no effect on planktonic growth. Furthermore, we show that addition of 2-phenylethanol to established C. echinulata biofilm causes detachment. Therefore, we conclude that this molecule is produced by the fungus to regulate biofilm growth.
