    Abstract Crowded environments inside cells and biological fluids greatly affect protein stability and activity. PDC-109, a polydisperse oligomeric protein of the bovine seminal plasma selectively binds choline phospholipids on the sperm cell surface and causes membrane destabilization and lipid efflux, leading to acrosome reaction. PDC-109 also exhibits chaperone-like activity (CLA) and protects client proteins against various kinds of stress, such as high temperature and low pH. In the present work, we have investigated the effect of molecular crowding on these two different activities of PDC-109 employing Dextran 70 (D70) - a widely used polymeric dextran - as the crowding agent. The results obtained show that presence of D70 markedly increases membrane destabilization by PDC-109. Isothermal titration calorimetric studies revealed that under crowded condition the binding affinity of PDC-109 for choline phospholipids increases approximately 3-fold, which could in turn facilitate membrane destabilization. In contrast, under identical conditions, its CLA was reduced significantly. The decreased CLA could be correlated to reduced surface hydrophobicity, which was due to stabilization of the protein oligomers. These results establish that molecular crowding exhibits contrasting effects on two different functional activities of PDC-109 and highlight the importance of microenvironment of proteins in modulating their functional activities.

    Abstract As conventional therapeutics can only treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), major focus of research in recent times is to slow down or prevent the progression of neuronal degeneration in PD. Non-targeted antioxidants have been an integral part of the conventional therapeutics regimen; however, their importance have lessened over time because of their controversial outcomes in clinical PD trials. Inability to permeate and localize within the mitochondria remains the main drawback on the part of non-targeted antioxidants inspite of possessing free radical scavenging properties. In contrast, mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants (MTAs), a special class of compounds have emerged having high advantages over non-targeted antioxidants by virtue of efficient pharmacokinetics and better absorption rate with capability to localize many fold inside the mitochondrial matrix. Preclinical experimentations indicate that MTAs have the potential to act as better alternatives compared to conventional non-targeted antioxidants in treating PD; however, sufficient clinical trials have not been conducted to investigate the efficacies of MTAs in treating PD. Controversial clinical outcomes on the part of non-targeted antioxidants and lack of clinical trials involving MTAs have made it difficult to go ahead with a direct comparison and in turn have slowed down the progress of development of safer and better alternate strategies in treating PD. This review provides an insight on the roles MTAs and non-targeted antioxidants have played in the treatment of PD till date in preclinical and clinical settings and discusses about the limitations of mitochondria-targeted and non-targeted antioxidants that can be resolved for developing effective strategies in treating Parkinsonism.

    Abstract Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is known to induce inflammation and immunonomodulation in a piscine model of Danio rerio. Present study aimed to explore the ability of melatonin in attenuating LPS-induced oxidative damages using this model. In LPS-exposed fish, activation of stress marker MDA was observed in brain with corresponding augmentation of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, IL6, IL10 and TNFα). In addition, it also showed marked increase in the levels of heat shock factor (HSF) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) in association with transcription factors (NF-kB and NRF2) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The changes in the levels of these mediators are highly correlated with the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In melatonin-treated fishes, significant amelioration of oxidative stress was observed with reduced levels of MDA and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Melatonin also modulated expression of HSPs that facilitated the brain to overcome inflammation-induced stress by directly initiating NFkB/NRF2 translocation. In summary, melatonin effectively functions to reduce stress induced inflammatory signalling through modulation of oxidative stress and protects the brain from the neuropathological insult.

    Abstract Introduction: Prevalence of asthma is increasing steadily among general population in developing countries over past two decades. One of the causative agents of broncho-constriction in asthma is thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R). However few studies of TBXA2R polymorphism were performed so far. The present study aimed to assess potential association of TBXA2R rs34377097 polymorphism causing missense substitution of Arginine to Leucine (R60L) among 482 patients diagnosed with pollen-induced asthma and 122 control participants from West Bengal, India. Also we performed in-silico analysis of mutated TBXA2R protein (R60L) using homology modeling.
    Methods: Clinical parameters like Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV
    Results: Genotype frequencies differed significantly between the study groups (P=0.03). There was no significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in control population (χ2=1.56). Asthmatic patients have significantly higher frequency of rs34377097TT genotype than control subjects (P=0.03). SPT of patients showed maximum sensitivity in
    Discussion: The present in-silico study is the first one to report association of TBXA2R rs34377097 polymorphism in an Indian population. It may be used as prognostic marker of clinical response to asthma in West Bengal and possible target of therapeutics in future.

    Abstract As controversy exists about the efficacy of substance P (SP) in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) with no previous study highlighting the impact of SP on mitochondrial dysfunction in this diseased condition, it became logical to perform the present study. C57BL/6 J mice were administered with DSS @ 3.5%/gm body weight for 3 cycles of 5 days each followed by i.v. dose of SP @ 5nmole per kg for consecutive 7 days. Histopathological features were noticed in the affected colon along with colonic mitochondrial dysfunction, alterations in mitochondrial stress variables and enhanced colonic cell death. Interestingly, SP failed to reverse colitic features and proved ineffective in inhibiting mitochondrial dysfunction. Unexpectedly SP alone seemed to impart detrimental effects on some of the mitochondrial functions, enhanced lipid peroxidation and increased staining intensities for caspases 3 and 9 in the normal colon. To substantiate in vivo findings and to assess free radical scavenging property of SP, Caco-2 cells were exposed to DSS with or without SP in the presence and absence of specific free radical scavengers and antioxidants. Interestingly, in vitro treatment with SP failed to restore mitochondrial functions and its efficacy proved below par compared to SOD and DMSO indicating involvement of O

    Abstract This article reports the fluorometric detection of toxic hexavalent chromium Cr (VI)) in wastewater and Cr (VI) contaminated living cells using in-situ grown carbon quantum dots into the goethite (α-FeOOH) nano-matrix. The synthesized nano-hybrid shows enormous potential in determining the chromium contamination levels in various types of water samples. This selective fluorometric probe is enormously sensitive (LOD 81 nM) toward hexavalent chromium, which makes it a dedicated chromium sensor. Moreover, the sensing mechanism has been assessed using Stern-Volmer's equation and fluorescence lifetime experiments showing the simultaneous occurrence of photoinduced electron transfer and the inner filter effect. This chromium sensor has also been employed to assess the contamination level in real-life industrial wastewater. The performance of this probe in a real-life wastewater sample is quite commendable. Further, this biocompatible fluorometric probe has been used to demonstrate the in-vitro sensing of Cr (VI) in HeLa cells. The rapid detection mechanism of hexavalent chromium in living cells has been validated using theoretical docking simulations. Henceforth, this fluorometric sensor material could open new avenues not only in wastewater monitoring but also in biomedical applications.
