Cholesterol extraction from ghee using glass beads functionalized with beta cyclodextrin.

ABSTRACT: Beta-cyclodextrin (?-CD) was covalently immobilized on glass surface. Functionalized glass surface was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and elemental analysis. Glass surface functionalized with ?-CD was used to remove cholesterol from ghee (clarified butter fat). 78.8 % cholesterol was reduced in 2 h at 25 °C and 170 rpm. Same surface was used repeatedly for 10 cycles and no reduction in cholesterol removal efficiency was observed. Modified glass surface showed almost no degradation in repeated use in cholesterol reduction experiments.

Molecular mechanism of cyclodextrin mediated cholesterol extraction.

Project description:The depletion of cholesterol from membranes, mediated by ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) is well known and documented, but the molecular details of this process are largely unknown. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have been able to study the CD mediated extraction of cholesterol from model membranes, in particular from a pure cholesterol monolayer, at atomic resolution. Our results show that efficient cholesterol extraction depends on the structural distribution of the CDs on the surface of the monolayer. With a suitably oriented dimer, cholesterol is extracted spontaneously on a nanosecond time scale. Additional free energy calculations reveal that the CDs have a strong affinity to bind to the membrane surface, and, by doing so, destabilize the local packing of cholesterol molecules making their extraction favorable. Our results have implications for the interpretation of experimental measurements, and may help in the rational design of efficient CD based nano-carriers.

Computational microscopy of cyclodextrin mediated cholesterol extraction from lipid model membranes.

Project description:Beta-cyclodextrins (?-CDs) can form inclusion complexes with cholesterol, and are commonly used to manipulate cholesterol levels of biomembranes. In this work, we have used multiscale molecular dynamics simulations to provide a detailed view on the interaction between ?-CDs and lipid model membranes. We show that cholesterol can be extracted efficiently upon adsorption of ?-CD dimers at the membrane/water interface. However, extraction is only observed to occur spontaneously in membranes with high cholesterol levels. Free energy calculations reveal the presence of a kinetic barrier for cholesterol extraction in the case of low cholesterol content. Cholesterol uptake is facilitated in case of (poly)unsaturated lipid membranes, which increases the free energy of the membrane bound state of cholesterol. Comparing lipid/cholesterol compositions typical of liquid-disordered (L(d)) and liquid-order (L(o)) domains, we furthermore show that cholesterol is preferentially extracted from the disordered regions, in line with recent experimental data.

β-Cyclodextrin-Functionalized Cellulose Nanocrystals and Their Interactions with Surfactants.

Project description:β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) forms a host-guest inclusion complex with many organic and amphiphilic compounds found in pharmaceutical, textile, cosmetic, food, and personal care systems. Therefore, grafting of β-CD onto a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) offers a possible strategy to use functionalized CNC to complex with surface-active molecules. We have successfully grafted β-CD onto CNCs in a stepwise manner using cyanuric chloride as the linker. The structure of β-CD-grafted CNC (CNC-CD) was characterized by UV-vis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and the grafting ratio of β-CD was determined by the phenolphthalein inclusion protocol. Ionic surfactants induced the aggregation of CNC-CDs by forming inclusion complexes with β-CDs on the surface of CNC. The interactions of amphiphilic compounds with CNC-CD were examined by surface tensiometry, conductometric and potentiometric titration, and isothermal titration calorimetry. Mechanisms describing the complex formation between surfactants and CNC-CD were proposed, where an improved understanding of CD interactions with surfactants and lipids would enable better strategies for drug encapsulation and delivery with CDs.

Micromotor-Based Biosensing Using Directed Transport of Functionalized Beads.

Project description:Previous micromotor-based biosensing studies used to functionalize the surface of the micromotor with specific molecular probes for binding of target analyte, thus limiting the use of the micromotor for the specific target. In contrast, here, we introduce a novel approach of using a nonfunctionalized micromotor as a generic cargo carrier being able to perform label-free and dynamic loading, transport, and release of functionalized beads. Hence, such an approach enables one to use the same micromotor system for sensing of varying targets via different commercially available functionalized beads, demonstrating the use of micromotors as a practical and versatile means for biosensing. We have also introduced a simplified microfluidic design that can be used for immunosensing or DNA binding tests without necessity for complicated fluid handling (buffer exchange, washing, etc.) steps. We expect this approach to open up new realizations of simplified and generic biosensing platforms.

Norovirus Extraction from Frozen Raspberries Using Magnetic Silica Beads.

Project description:Human noroviruses (HuNoV) are among the main causes of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Frozen raspberries have been linked to several HuNoV food-related outbreaks. However, the extraction of HuNoV RNA from frozen raspberries remains challenging. Recovery yields are low, and real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-qPCR) inhibitors limit the sensitivity of the detection methodologies. A new approach using fine magnetic silica beads was developed for the extraction of HuNoV spiked on frozen raspberries. Relatively low recovery yields were observed with both the magnetic silica bead and the reference ISO 15216-1:2017 methods. High RT-qPCR inhibition was observed with the ISO 15216-1:2017 recommended amplification kit but could be reduced by using an alternative kit. Reducing RT-qPCR inhibition is important to limit the number of inconclusive HuNoV assays thus increasing the capacity to assess the HuNoV prevalence in frozen raspberries.

Injectable Thixotropic β-Cyclodextrin-Functionalized Hydrogels Based on Guanosine Quartet Assembly.

Project description:Facile method for the preparation of β-cyclodextrin-functionalized hydrogels based on guanosine quartet assembly was described. A series of seven hydrogels were prepared by linking β-cyclodextrin molecules with guanosine moieties in different ratios through benzene-1,4-diboronic acid linker in the presence of potassium hydroxide. The potassium ions acted as a reticulation agent by forming guanosine quartets, leading to the formation of self-sustained transparent hydrogels. The ratios of the β-cyclodextrin and guanosine components have a significant effect on the internal structuration of the components and, correspondingly, on the mechanical properties of the final gels, offering a tunablity of the system by varying the components ratio. The insights into the hydrogels' structuration were achieved by circular dichroism, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Rheological measurements revealed self-healing and thixotropic properties of all the investigated samples, which, in combination with available cyclodextrin cavities for active components loading, make them remarkable candidates for specific applications in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Moreover, all the prepared samples displayed selective antimicrobial properties against S. aureus in planktonic and biofilm phase, the activity also depending on the guanosine and cyclodextrin ratio within the hydrogel structure.

High-density lipoprotein or cyclodextrin extraction of cholesterol from aggregated LDL reduces foam cell formation.

Project description:Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) deposition, aggregation and retention in the endothelial sub-intima are critical initiating events during atherosclerosis. Macrophages digest aggregated LDL (agLDL) through a process called exophagy. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) plays an atheroprotective role, but studies attempting to exploit it therapeutically have been unsuccessful, highlighting gaps in our current understanding of HDL function. Here, we characterized the role of HDL during exophagy of agLDL. We find that atherosclerotic plaque macrophages contact agLDL and form an extracellular digestive compartment similar to that observed in vitro During macrophage catabolism of agLDL in vitro, levels of free cholesterol in the agLDL are increased. HDL can extract free cholesterol directly from this agLDL and inhibit macrophage foam cell formation. Cholesterol-balanced hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin similarly reduced macrophage cholesterol uptake and foam cell formation. Finally, we show that HDL can directly extract free cholesterol, but not cholesterol esters, from agLDL in the absence of cells. Together, these results suggest that the actions of HDL can directly extract free cholesterol from agLDL during catabolism, and provide a new context in which to view the complex relationship between HDL and atherosclerosis.

Effects of beta-cyclodextrin on the structure of sphingomyelin/cholesterol model membranes.

Project description:The interaction of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) with mixed bilayers composed of sphingomylein and cholesterol (Chol) above and below the accepted stable complexation ratio (67:33) was investigated. Membranes with the same (symmetric) and different (asymmetric) compositions in their inner and outer leaflets were deposited at surface pressures of 20, 30, and 40 mN/m at the solid-liquid interface. Using neutron reflectometry, membranes of various global molar ratios (defined as the sum of the molar ratios of the inner and outer leaflets), were characterized before and after beta-CD was added to the subphase. The structure of bilayers with global molar ratios at or above the stable complexation ratio was unchanged by beta-CD, indicating that beta-CD is unable to remove sphingomyelin or complexed Chol. However, beta-CD removed all uncomplexed Chol from bilayers composed of global molar ratios below the stable complexation ratio. The removal of Chol by beta-CD was independent of the initial structure of the membranes as deposited, suggesting that asymmetric membranes homogenize by the exchange of molecules between leaflets. The interaction of beta-CD with the aforementioned membranes was independent of the deposition surface pressure except for a symmetric 50:50 membrane deposited at 40 mN/m. The scattering from 50:50 bilayers with higher packing densities (deposited at 40 mN/m) was unaffected by beta-CD, suggesting that the removal of Chol can depend on both the composition and packing density of the membrane.

Using hyperbranched oligomer functionalized glass fillers to reduce shrinkage stress.

Project description:Fillers are widely utilized to enhance the mechanical properties of polymer resins. However, polymerization stress has the potential to increase due to the higher elastic modulus achieved upon filler addition. Here, we demonstrate a hyperbranched oligomer functionalized glass filler UV curable resin composite which is able to reduce the shrinkage stress without sacrificing mechanical properties.A 16-functional alkene-terminated hyperbranched oligomer is synthesized by thiol-acrylate and thiol-yne reactions and the product structure is analyzed by (1)H NMR, mass spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography. Surface functionalization of the glass filler is measured by thermogravimetric analysis. Reaction kinetics, mechanical properties and shrinkage stress are studied via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis and a tensometer, respectively.Silica nanoparticles are functionalized with a flexible 16-functional alkene-terminated hyperbranched oligomer which is synthesized by multistage thiol-ene/yne reactions. 93% of the particle surface was covered by this oligomer and an interfacial layer ranging from 0.7 nm to 4.5 nm thickness is generated. A composite system with these functionalized silica nanoparticles incorporated into the thiol-yne-methacrylate resin demonstrates 30% reduction of shrinkage stress (from 0.9 MPa to 0.6 MPa) without sacrificing the modulus (3100 ± 300 MPa) or glass transition temperature (62 ± 3°C). Moreover, the shrinkage stress of the composite system builds up at much later stages of the polymerization as compared to the control system.Due to the capability of reducing shrinkage stress without sacrificing mechanical properties, this composite system will be a great candidate for dental composite applications.
