Abstract
Selenium-containing compounds have emerged as promising treatment for redox-based and inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of a novel diselenide named as dibenzyl[diselanediyIbis(propane-3-1diyl)] dicarbamate (DD). DD reacted with HOCl (k = 9.2 x 107 M-1s-1), like glutathione (k = 1.2 x 108 M-1s-1), yielding seleninic and selenonic acid derivatives, and it also decreased HOCl formation by activated human neutrophils (IC50=4.6 μM) and purified myeloperoxidase (MPO) (IC50=3.8 μM). However, tyrosine, MPO-I and MPO-II substrates, did not restore HOCl formation in presence of DD. DD inhibited the oxidative burst in dHL-60 cells with no toxicity up to 25 µM for 48h. Next, an intraperitoneal administration of 25, 50, and 75 mg/kg DD decreased total leukocyte, neutrophil chemotaxis, and inflammation markers (MPO activity, lipid peroxidation, albumin exudation, nitrite, TNF-α, IL-1β, CXCL1/KC, and CXCL2/MIP-2) on a murine model of carrageenan-induced peritonitis. Likewise, 50 mg/kg DD (i.p.) decreased carrageenan-induced paw edema over 5h. Histological and immunohistochemistry analyses of the paw tissue showed decreased neutrophil count, edema area, and MPO, carbonylated, and nitrated protein staining. Furthermore, DD treatment decreased the fMLP-induced chemotaxis of human neutrophils (IC50=3.7 μM) in vitro with no toxicity. Lastly, DD presented no toxicity in a single-dose model using mice (50 mg/kg, i.p.) over 15 days and in Artemia salina bioassay (50 to 2000 µM), corroborating findings from in silico toxicological study. Altogether, these results demonstrate that DD attenuates carrageenan-induced inflammation mainly by reducing neutrophil migration and the resulting damage from MPO-mediated oxidative burst.

[PMID: 37630307 PMCID: PMC10459737 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28166055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) has been implicated in numerous pathologies associated with an inflammatory component, but its selective and sensitive detection in biological settings remains a challenge. In this report, imaging of HOCl was realized with a thiomorpholine-based probe as derivative of nitrobenzothiadiazole (NBD-S-TM). The fluorescence is based on photoinduced electron transfer by using nitrobenzothiadiazole core as a donor and thiomorpholine substituent as an acceptor. NBD-S-TM showed high sensitivity and a fast response to HOCl k = (2.6 ± 0.2) × 107 M-1s-1 with a 1:1 stoichiometry. The detection limit for HOCl was determined to be 60 nM. Furthermore, the desirable features of NBD-S-TM for the detection of HOCl in aqueous solutions, such as its reliability at physiological pH, rapid fluorescence response, and biocompatibility, enabled its application in the detection of HOCl in myeloperoxidase enzymatic system. Moreover, NBD-S-TM exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity for HOCl over other biologically relevant species, such as hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite. The fluorescent S-oxidized product (NBD-S-TSO) is only formed in the presence of HOCl. Probing with NBD-S-TM may be helpful to further the development of high throughput screening assays to monitor the activity of myeloperoxidase.

Toxicol In Vitro 2023; 89:105583. [PMID: 36924976 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2023.105583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023]
Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a major oxidant produced by activated neutrophils via the myeloperoxidase catalyzed reaction. The production of HOCl eliminates a wide range of pathogens. However, HOCl can also cause significant oxidative damage in cells and tissues where it is generated. The protective effect of curcumin was studied on HOCl-induced oxidative damage to human red blood cells (RBC). Isolated RBC were incubated with HOCl at 37 °C in absence or presence of different concentrations of curcumin. Hemolysates were prepared and assayed for various biochemical parameters. Treatment of RBC with HOCl alone increased hemolysis, protein carbonyls, heme degradation and chloramines as compared to untreated control cells. This was accompanied by reduction in glutathione level, total sulfhydryls and free amino groups. HOCl also lowered the activities of major antioxidant enzymes and diminished the antioxidant power of RBC. Pre-treatment of RBC with different concentrations of curcumin resulted in concentration-dependent attenuation in all these parameters while curcumin alone had no significant effect. Scanning electron microscopy showed that curcumin prevented HOCl-induced morphological changes in RBC and restored their normal biconcave shape. Thus curcumin can be used as a chemoprotective agent to mitigate HOCl-induced oxidative damage to cells. These results also explain the beneficial effects of curcumin against Helicobacter pylori induced stomach ulcers, caused by excessive production of HOCl at the site of bacterial infection.

Abstract
A simple thiomorpholine-based fluorescent probe was designed and synthesized by combining thiomorpholine (TM) and nitrobenzenoselenadiazoles fluorophore (NBD-Se). The thiomorpholine group quenches the fluorescence of NBD-Se efficiently through the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) oxidizes the NBD-Se-TM probe to its fluorescent S-oxide (NBD-Se-TSO) with a 1:1 stoichiometry. The desirable features of NBD-Se-TM for detecting HOCl in aqueous solutions, such as its high sensitivity and selectivity, reliability at physiological pH, and rapid fluorescence response, enabled its application in the detection of HOCl produced by myeloperoxidase. The results proved that NBD-Se-TM is a promising fluorescent probe that can be used in screening assays for MPO inhibitors. Its high reaction rate constant with HOCl (2k = 2.0 × 107M-1s-1) indicates the possibility of application in more complex biological systems.

Antioxidant Strategies to Modulate NETosis and the Release of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps during Chronic Inflammation. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12020478. [PMID: 36830036 PMCID: PMC9952818 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12020478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Extracellular traps are released by neutrophils and other immune cells as part of the innate immune response to combat pathogens. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) consist of a mesh of DNA and histone proteins decorated with various anti-microbial granule proteins, such as elastase and myeloperoxidase (MPO). In addition to their role in innate immunity, NETs are also strongly linked with numerous pathological conditions, including atherosclerosis, sepsis and COVID-19. This has led to significant interest in developing strategies to inhibit NET release. In this study, we have examined the efficacy of different antioxidant approaches to selectively modulate the inflammatory release of NETs. PLB-985 neutrophil-like cells were shown to release NETs on exposure to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), hypochlorous acid or nigericin, a bacterial peptide derived from Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Studies with the probe R19-S indicated that treatment of the PLB-985 cells with PMA, but not nigericin, resulted in the production of HOCl. Therefore, studies were extended to examine the efficacy of a range of antioxidant compounds that modulate HOCl production by MPO to prevent NETosis. It was shown that thiocyanate, selenocyanate and various nitroxides could prevent NETosis in PLB-985 neutrophils exposed to PMA and HOCl, but not nigericin. These results were confirmed in analogous experiments with freshly isolated primary human neutrophils. Taken together, these data provide new information regarding the utility of supplementation with MPO inhibitors and/or HOCl scavengers to prevent NET release, which could be important to more specifically target pathological NETosis in vivo.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic inflammatory disease destroying lungs irreversibly with high mortality rates. There are challenges in diagnosing IPF and treating it at an early stage. Mounting evidence suggests that hypochlorous acid (HClO) can help in diagnosing inflammation and relevant conditions. Pulmonary fibrosis is linked to the mitochondrial oxidative stress where excessive HClO production is a key molecular mechanism. Measuring mitochondrial HClO levels assists in the investigations of how the mitochondrial oxidative stress affects IPF. Herein, NIR-PTZ-HClO was developed and optimized as a probe for detecting fluctuations in HClO concentrations of cells and mice models through near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence. The probe featured large Stokes shift of 150 nm, NIR turn-on signal at 650 nm, high sensitivity (45-fold) and quick HClO detection (2 s). The probe is selective for HClO in the presence of range of other analytes. NIR-PTZ-HClO visualized both endogenous and exogenous HClO in living cells (RAW264.7, H460 and A549). The probe monitored HClO in mice models with IPF and moreover the HClO profile could be tracked during the IPF process. The probe also detected precipitous decrease in HClO levels in IPF mice treated with OFEV. NIR-PTZ-HClO probe has thus the potential for earlier diagnosis of lung fibrosis, thereby improving the treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is due to the oxidation of alpha synuclein (αSyn) contributing to motor impairment. We developed a transgenic mouse model of PD that overexpresses the mutated human αSyn gene (A53T) crossed to a mouse expressing the human MPO gene. This model exhibits increased oxidation and chlorination of αSyn leading to greater motor impairment. In the current study, the hMPO-A53T mice were treated with thiocyanate (SCN-) which is a favored substrate of MPO as compared to chlorine. We show that hMPO-A53T mice treated with SCN- have less chlorination in the brain and show an improvement in motor skills compared to the nontreated hMPO-A53T mice. Interestingly, in the hMPO-A53T mice we found a possible link between MPO-related disease and the glymphatic system which clears waste including αSyn from the brain. The untreated hMPO-A53T mice exhibited an increase in the size of periventricular glymphatic vessels expressing the glymphatic marker LYVE1 and aquaporin 4 (AQP4). These vessels also exhibited an increase in MPO and HOCl-modified epitopes in the glymphatic vessels correlating with loss of ependymal cells lining the ventricles. These findings suggest that MPO may significantly promote the impairment of the glymphatic waste removal system thus contributing to neurodegeneration in PD. Moreover, the inhibition of MPO chlorination/oxidation by SCN- may provide a potential therapeutic approach to this disease.

Abstract
As an inflammatory signaling molecule, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which is generated by myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalysis, is associated with neuronal cell death during neuroinflammation and the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, it is significant to employ effective tools for the in vivo mapping of HOCl during the early pathology of AD. In this study, we propose the use of an easily available two-photon fluorogenic probe, named Q-HOCl, for the specific and sensitive detection of HOCl in AD brains. The Q-HOCl probe displayed favorable selectivity and rapid response (20 s) to HOCl with a limit of detection of 12.5 nM. In addition, the Q-HOCl probe manifested splendid ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Subsequently, it was utilized to visualize HOCl fluctuation induced by LPS in PC12 cells via two-photon imaging. Importantly, we monitored the elevated level of HOCl in AD brains compared to normal brains. Ultimately, based on the two-photon imaging of the hippocampus of brain slices and Morris water maze test, the cognitive ability of the AD model mice was effectually ameliorated by treatment with an MPO inhibitor. Thus, we expect that the Q-HOCl probe can be applied to reveal the capacity of HOCl in AD pathology and develop efficacious MPO inhibitor drugs for the treatment of AD.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential element for human health as it is involved in different physiological functions. Moreover, a great number of Se compounds can be considered potential agents in the prevention and treatment of some diseases. It is widely recognized that Se activity is related to multiple factors, such as its chemical form, dose, and its metabolism. The understanding of its complex biochemistry is necessary as it has been demonstrated that the metabolites of the Se molecules used to be the ones that exert the biological activity. Therefore, the aim of this review is to summarize the recent information about its most remarkable metabolites of acknowledged biological effects: hydrogen selenide (HSe−/H2Se) and methylselenol (CH3SeH). In addition, special attention is paid to the main seleno-containing precursors of these derivatives and their role in different pathologies.

Abstract
There are no licensed therapeutics or vaccines available against porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV) to eliminate its potential for congenital disease. In the absence of effective treatments, it has led to significant economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. Similar to the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, PDCoV is trans-species transmissible and there is still a large desert for scientific exploration. We have reported that selenomethionine (SeMet) has potent antiviral activity against PDCoV. Here, we systematically investigated the endogenous immune mechanism of SeMet and found that STAT3/miR-125b-5p-1/HK2 signalling is essential for the exertion of SeMet anti-PDCoV replication function. Meanwhile, HK2, a key rate-limiting enzyme of the glycolytic pathway, was able to control PDCoV replication in LLC-PK1 cells, suggesting a strategy for viruses to evade innate immunity using glucose metabolism pathways. Overall, based on the ability of selenomethionine to control PDCoV infection and transmission, we provide a molecular basis for the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) mediates pathogen destruction by generating the bactericidal oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Formation of this oxidant is however associated with host tissue damage and disease. MPO also utilizes H2O2 to oxidize other substrates, and we hypothesized that mixtures of other plasma anions, including bromide (Br-), iodide (I-), thiocyanate (SCN-) and nitrite (NO2-), at normal or supplemented concentrations, might modulate MPO-mediated HOCl damage. For the (pseudo)halide anions, only SCN- significantly modulated HOCl formation (IC50 ∼33 μM), which is within the normal physiological range, as judged by damage to human plasma fibronectin or extracellular matrix preparations detected by ELISA and LC-MS. NO2- modulated HOCl-mediated damage, in a dose-dependent manner, at physiologically-attainable anion concentrations. However, this was accompanied by increased tyrosine and tryptophan nitration (detected by ELISA and LC-MS), and the overall extent of damage remained approximately constant. Increasing NO2- concentrations (0.5-20 μM) diminished HOCl-mediated modification of tyrosine and methionine, whereas tryptophan loss was enhanced. At higher NO2- concentrations, enhanced tyrosine and methionine loss was detected. These analytical data were confirmed in studies of cell adhesion and metabolic activity. Together, these data indicate that endogenous plasma levels of SCN- (but not Br- or I-) can modulate protein modification induced by MPO, including the extent of chlorination. In contrast, NO2- alters the type of modification, but does not markedly decrease its extent, with chlorination replaced by nitration. These data also indicate that MPO could be a major source of nitration in vivo, and particularly at inflammatory sites where NO2- levels are often elevated.

Abstract
The main production area of HClO and NO is the mitochondria and has modulatory effects on multiple human diseases. Simultaneous detection of signaling molecules such as HClO and NO is an important approach for exploring the complex relationship between HClO and NO in mitochondria. However, most probes can detect only one species or are unable to complete the monitoring of HClO and NO in the NIR channel. There are only few reports on reasonable tools that can simultaneously monitor the presence of HClO and NO in the NIR channel. In this work, to solve this difficulty, a POSS-assisted NIR fluorescent probe with dual-response was rationally devised and developed. The probe Mito-Cy possessed high specificity and responsiveness to HClO and NO in spectral experiments. Notably, the probe exhibited excellent responsiveness and sensitivity to HClO and NO in living cells and the zebrafish model.

Abstract
The review presents the latest data on the role of selenium-containing agents in the regulation of diseases of the immune system. We mainly considered the contributions of selenium-containing compounds such as sodium selenite, methylseleninic acid, selenomethionine, and methylselenocysteine, as well as selenoproteins and selenium nanoparticles in the regulation of defense mechanisms against various viral infections, including coronavirus infection (COVID-19). A complete description of the available data for each of the above selenium compounds and the mechanisms underlying the regulation of immune processes with the active participation of these selenium agents, as well as their therapeutic and pharmacological potential, is presented. The main purpose of this review is to systematize the available information, supplemented by data obtained in our laboratory, on the important role of selenium compounds in all of these processes. In addition, the presented information makes it possible to understand the key differences in the mechanisms of action of these compounds, depending on their chemical and physical properties, which is important for obtaining a holistic picture and prospects for creating drugs based on them.
