Abstract
Cell adhesion experiments are important in tissue engineering and for testing new biologically active surfaces, prostheses, and medical devices. Additionally, the initial state of adhesion (referred to as nascent adhesion) plays a key role and is currently being intensively researched. A critical step in handling all adherent cell types is their dissociation from their substrates for further processing. Various cell dissociation methods and reagents are used in most tissue culture laboratories (here, cell dissociation from the culture surface, cell harvesting, and cell detachment are used interchangeably). Typically, the dissociated cells are re-adhered for specific measurements or applications. However, the impact of the choice of dissociation method on cell adhesion in subsequent measurements, especially when comparing the adhesivity of various surfaces, is not well clarified. In this study, we demonstrate that the application of a label-free optical sensor can precisely quantify the effect of cell dissociation methods on cell adhesivity, both at the single-cell and population levels. The optical measurements allow for high-resolution monitoring of cellular adhesion without interfering with the physiological state of the cells. We found that the choice of reagent significantly alters cell adhesion on various surfaces. Our results clearly demonstrate that biological conclusions about cellular adhesion when comparing various surfaces are highly dependent on the employed dissociation method. Neglecting the choice of cellular dissociation can lead to misleading conclusions when evaluating cell adhesion data from various sources and comparing the adhesivity of two different surfaces (i.e., determining which surface is more or less adhesive).

Seawater pearl hydrolysate inhibits photoaging via decreasing oxidative stress, autophagy and apoptosis of Ultraviolet B-induced human skin keratinocytes. J Cosmet Dermatol 2024; 23:256-270.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultraviolet (UV) is the main reason to cause photoaging skin which not only hinders beauty, brings the patients with psychological burden, but also pathologically leads to the occurrence of tumors in skin. OBJECTIVE This study goes into the inhibitory effect and mechanism of seawater pearl hydrolysate (SPH) to address human skin keratinocytes photoaging induced by UVB. METHODS The photoaging model of Hacat cell was constructed by UVB irradiation, the levels of oxidative stress, apoptosis, aging, autophagy and autophagy-related protein and signal pathway expression were assessed to characterize the inhibitory effect and mechanism of SPH on photoaging Hacat cell. RESULTS Seawater pearl hydrolysate significantly accelerated (p < 0.05) the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, and markedly reduced (p < 0.05) the contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde, protein carbonyl compound and nitrosylated tyrosine protein, aging level, apoptosis rate in Hacat cell induced by 200 mJ cm-2 UVB after 24 and 48 h of culture; high dose SPH significantly raised (p < 0.05) relative expression level of p-Akt, p-mTOR proteins, and markedly decreased (p < 0.05) relative expression level of LC3II protein, p-AMPK, and autophagy level in Hacat cell induced by 200 mJ cm-2 UVB, or in combination with the intervention of PI3K inhibitor or AMPK overexpression after 48 h of culture. CONCLUSION Seawater pearl hydrolysate can effectively inhibit 200 mJ cm-2 UVB-induced photoaging of Hacat cells. The mechanism indicates removing the excessive ROS through increasing the antioxidation of photoaging Hacat cells. Once redundant ROS is eliminated, SPH works to reduce AMPK, increase PI3K-Akt pathway expression, activate mTOR pathway to lowdown autophagy level, and as a result, inhibit apoptosis and aging in photoaging Hacat cells.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of aggressive hematological malignancies commonly associated with treatment resistance, high risk of relapse, and mitochondrial dysregulation. We identified six mitochondria-affecting compounds (PS compounds) that exhibit selective cytotoxicity against AML cells in vitro. Structure-activity relationship studies identified six analogs from two original scaffolds that had over an order of magnitude difference between LD50 in AML and healthy peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Mechanistically, all hit compounds reduced ATP and selectively impaired both basal and ATP-linked oxygen consumption in leukemic cells. Compounds derived from PS127 significantly upregulated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in AML cells and triggered ferroptotic, necroptotic, and/or apoptotic cell death in AML cell lines and refractory/relapsed AML primary samples. These compounds exhibited synergy with several anti-leukemia agents in AML, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), or chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Pilot in vivo efficacy studies indicate anti-leukemic efficacy in a MOLM14/GFP/LUC xenograft model, including extended survival in mice injected with leukemic cells pre-treated with PS127B or PS127E and in mice treated with PS127E at a dose of 5 mg/kg. These compounds are promising leads for development of future combinatorial therapeutic approaches for mitochondria-driven hematologic malignancies such as AML, ALL, and CML.

Abstract
In order to optimize the potency of the first serum-stable peptide agonist of CD47 (PKHB1) in triggering regulated cell death of cancer cells, we designed a maturation process aimed to mimic the trimeric structure of the thrombospondin-1/CD47 binding epitope. For that purpose, an N-methylation scan of the PKHB1 sequence was realized to prevent peptide aggregation. Structural and pharmacological analyses were conducted in order to assess the conformational impact of these chemical modifications on the backbone structure and the biological activity. This structure-activity relationship study led to the discovery of a highly soluble N-methylated peptide that we termed PKT16. Afterward, this monomer was used for the design of a homotrimeric peptide mimic that we termed [PKT16]3, which proved to be 10-fold more potent than its monomeric counterpart. A pharmacological evaluation of [PKT16]3 in inducing cell death of adherent (A549) and nonadherent (MEC-1) cancer cell lines was also performed.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a central and multifunctional role in the progression of tumorigenesis. Although many recent studies have demonstrated correlations between mitochondrial function and genetic makeup or originating tissue, it remains unclear why some cancers are more susceptible to mitocans (anticancer drugs that target mitochondrial function to mediate part or all of their effect). Moreover, fundamental questions of efficacy and mechanism of action in various tumor types stubbornly remain. Here we demonstrate that cancer type is a significant predictor of tumor response to mitocan treatment, and that acute myeloid leukemias (AML) show an increased sensitivity to these drugs. We determined that AML cells display particular defects in mitochondrial metabolism that underlie their sensitivity to mitocan treatment. Furthermore, we demonstrated that combinatorial treatment with a mitocan (CCCP) and a glycolytic inhibitor (2-deoxyglucose) has substantial synergy in AML cells, including primary cells from patients with AML. Our results show that mitocans, either alone or in combination with a glycolytic inhibitor, display anti-leukemia effects in doses much lower than needed to induce toxicity against normal blood cells, indicating that mitochondria may be an effective and selective therapeutic target.

Abstract
Biomineralization in vertebrates is initiated via amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) precursors. These precursors infiltrate the extracellular collagen matrix where they undergo phase transformation into intrafibrillar carbonated apatite. Although it is well established that ACP precursors are released from intracellular vesicles through exocytosis, an unsolved enigma in this cell-mediated mineralization process is how ACP precursors, initially produced in the mitochondria, are translocated to the intracellular vesicles. The present study proposes that mitophagy provides the mechanism for transfer of ACP precursors from the dysfunctioned mitochondria to autophagosomes, which, upon fusion with lysosomes, become autolysosomes where the mitochondrial ACP precursors coalesce to form larger intravesicular granules, prior to their release into the extracellular matrix. Apart from endowing the mitochondria with the function of ACP delivery through mitophagy, the present results indicate that mitophagy, triggered upon intramitochondrial ACP accumulation in osteogenic lineage-committed mesenchymal stem cells, participates in the biomineralization process through the BMP/Smad signaling pathway.
