Influence of bovine serum albumin on corrosion behaviour of pure Zn in phosphate buffered saline.

ABSTRACT: Zinc (Zn) and its alloys have received increasing attention as new alternative biodegradable metals. However, consensus has not been reached on the corrosion behaviour of Zn. As cardiovascular artery stent material, Zn is supposed to contact with plasma that contains inorganic salts and organic components. Protein is one of the most important constitute in the plasma and could adsorb on the material surface. In this paper, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a typical protein. Influences of BSA on pure Zn corrosion in phosphate buffered saline is investigated as a function of BSA concentrations and immersion durations by electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. Results showed that pure Zn corrosion was progressively accelerated with BSA concentrations (ranging from 0.05 to 5 g L^-1) at 0.5 h. With time evolves, formation of phosphates as corrosion product was delayed by BSA adsorption, especially at concentration of 2 g L^-1. Within 48 h, the corrosion of pure Zn was alleviated by BSA at concentration of 0.1 g L^-1, whereas the corrosion was enhanced after 168 h. Addition of 2 g L^-1 BSA has opposite influence on the pure Zn corrosion. Furthermore, schematic corrosion behaviour at protein/Zn interfaces was proposed. This work encourages us to think more about the influence of protein on the material corrosion and helps us to better understand the corrosion behaviour of pure Zn.

Preservation Method and Phosphate Buffered Saline Washing Affect the Acute Myeloid Leukemia Proteome.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) primary cells can be isolated from peripheral blood, suspended with media containing bovine serum and cryoprotectant, and stored in liquid nitrogen before being processed for proteomic analysis by mass spectrometry (MS). The presence of bovine serum and human blood proteins in AML samples can hamper the identifications of proteins, and thereby reduce the proteome coverage of the study. Herein, we have established the effect of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) washing on AML patient samples stored in media. Although PBS washes effectively removed serum and blood contaminants, the saline wash resulted in cell burst and remarkable protein material loss. We also compared different methods to preserve the AML proteome from THP-1 and Molm-13 cell lines before MS analysis: (1) stored in media containing bovine serum and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); (2) stored as dried cell pellets; and (3) stored as cell lysates in 4% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). MS analysis of differently preserved AML cell samples shows that preservation with DMSO produce a high number of fragile cells that will burst during freezing and thawing. Our studies encourage the use of alternative preservation methods for future MS analysis of the AML proteome.

Interaction mechanism of oseltamivir phosphate with bovine serum albumin: multispectroscopic and molecular docking study.

Project description:Oseltamivir phosphate (OP) is an antiviral drug with potential risks to human health due to overuse, leading to serious consequences such as gastrointestinal disturbances, abnormal neuropsychiatric symptoms, and sudden death. Therefore, gaining an in-depth understanding of its interaction with proteins is crucial. We investigated the interaction between OP and bovine serum albumin (BSA) utilizing multispectral methods (i.e., fluorescence, ultraviolet absorption, circular dichroism) combined with molecular docking techniques. Fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that OP quenched BSA fluorescence by forming the OP-BSA complex. The Stern-Volmer constants (KSV) between OP and BSA were determined to be 3.06 × 103 L/mol, 2.36 × 103 L/mol, and 1.86 × 103 L/mol at 293 K, 298 K, and 303 K, respectively. OP occupies exclusively one binding site on BSA, and the fluorescent probe displacement measurements revealed that this is BSA site I. Thermodynamic data (∆H, ∆S, and ∆G) obtained by fitting the van't Hoff equation were - 77.49 kJ/mol, -176.54 J/(mol∙K), and - 24.88 kJ/mol, respectively, suggesting that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces mainly participate in OP-BSA complex stabilization. Moreover, the reaction occurs spontaneously at room temperature. Synchronous fluorescence spectra indicated that OP interacts with tryptophan residue of BSA. The results of ultraviolet (UV) and 3D fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that the OP-BSA complex formation altered the microenvironment around amino acid residues. Circular dichroism spectra revealed that the addition of OP decreased the α-helix content of BSA by 7.13%. Docking analysis confirmed that OP binds to BSA site I through hydrogen bonding with amino acids VAL342, SER453, and ASP450. Finally, ADMET studies were conducted to explore the pharmacokinetics of OP as an antiviral drug.

Antibacterial property, corrosion and discoloration resistance of pure copper containing Zn or Ni.

Project description:This study focused on the effects of Zn and Ni addition on the antibacterial properties and corrosion resistance of copper alloys. The antimicrobial properties of copper and copper alloys were evaluated using Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 bacterial strain by employing the overlay and plate counting methods. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze the surface composition of the alloy after contact with bacteria. A salt spray method was used to simulate an artificial sweat contact environment to test the discoloration and corrosion resistance of the alloy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the film layer and surface material composition of the corroded samples. The addition of Ni reduced the antibacterial performance of pure copper; however, the antibacterial performance of the alloy remained fast and efficient after the addition of Zn. Moreover, the addition of Zn and Ni significantly improved the corrosion resistance and surface discoloration of copper alloys in artificial sweat environments. This study provided support for the future application of copper alloys as antimicrobial surface-contact materials with safer public and medical environments in the face of diseases spread by large populations.Graphical abstractSupplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12598-022-02098-8.

Denaturation studies on bovine serum albumin-bile salt system: Bile salt stabilizes bovine serum albumin through hydrophobicity.

Project description:Protein denaturation is under intensive research, since it leads to neurological disorders of severe consequences. Avoiding denaturation and stabilizing the proteins in their native state is of great importance, especially when proteins are used as drug molecules or vaccines. It is preferred to add pharmaceutical excipients in protein formulations to avoid denaturation and thereby stabilize them. The present study aimed at using bile salts (BSs), a group of well-known drug delivery systems, for stabilization of proteins. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was taken as the model protein, whose association with two BSs, namely sodium cholate (NaC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC), was studied. Denaturation studies on the pre-formed BSA-BS systems were carried out under chemical and physical denaturation conditions. Urea was used as the chemical denaturant and BSA-BS systems were subjected to various temperature conditions to understand the thermal (physical) denaturation. With the denaturation conditions prescribed here, the data obtained is informative on the association of BSA-BS systems to be hydrophobic and this effect of hydrophobicity plays an important role in stabilizing the serum albumin in its native state under both chemical and thermal denaturation.

Expression data from Staphylococcus aureus and Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) treated mouse wound bed

Project description:Environmental factors that enhance regeneration are largely unknown. We hypothesized that skin bacteria modulate regeneration. Here, we assessed low, medium, and high levels of bacterial burden in Wound Induced Hair follicle Neogenesis (WIHN), a rare adult organogenesis model. WIHN levels and stem cell markers indeed correlated with bacterial counts, being lowest in germ free (GF), intermediate in conventional specific pathogen free (SPF), and highest even in mice infected with pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus. We identified IL-1β and keratinocyte-dependent IL-1R-MyD88 signaling as necessary and sufficient for bacteria to promote regeneration. Finally, in a small clinical trial, we found that a topical broad-spectrum antibiotic slowed skin wound healing. These results counter conventional notions that infection inhibits regeneration and the need for full sterility of small wounds.

The novel behaviour of interactions between Ni2+ ion and human or bovine serum albumin.

Project description:We discovered a series of novel behaviours of interactions between Ni2+ ion and human or bovine serum albumin. Our results indicated that there exist two closely neighbouring identical prior binding sites in the binding of human or bovine serum albumin with Ni2+ ions, not only one. It is very likely that, after the binding of the first Ni2+ ion, an induced slow conformational transition happens, which leads to the binding of the second Ni2+ ion and shows itself as a hysteretic effect for a process of non-enzymic protein binding with metal ions. As the concentrations of the 1:1 (molar ratio of Ni2+ ion to protein) system increase, an increasing hypochromic effect is observed. Such a hypochromic effect has not been reported previously; however, it is in accord with the mechanism of dipole-dipole interactions between the electric dipole transition moments of chromophores.

Covalent Surface Functionalization of Bovine Serum Albumin to Magnesium Surface to Provide Robust Corrosion Inhibition and Enhance In Vitro Osteo-Inductivity.

Project description:Herein, we describe precisely a covalent modification of pure magnesium (Mg) surface and its application to induce in vitro osteogenic differentiation. The new concept of a chemical bonding method is proposed for developing stable chemical bonds on the Mg surface through the serial assembly of bioactive additives that include ascorbic acid (AA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). We studied both the physicochemical and electrochemical properties using scanning electron microscopy and other techniques to confirm how the covalent bonding of BSA on Mg can, after coating, significantly enhance the chemical stability of the substrate. The modified Mg-OH-AA-BSA exhibits better anti-corrosion behavior with high corrosion potential (Ecorr = -0.96 V) and low corrosion current density (Icorr = 0.2 µA cm-2) as compared to the pure Mg (Ecorr = -1.46 V, Icorr = 10.42 µA cm-2). The outer layer of BSA on Mg protects the fast degradation rate of Mg, which is the consequence of the strong chemicals bonds between amine groups on BSA with carboxylic groups on AA as the possible mechanism of peptide bonds. Collectively, the results suggest that the surface-modified Mg provides a strong bio-interface, and enhances the proliferation and differentiation of pre-osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cells through a protein-lipid interaction. We therefore conclude that the technique we describe provides a cost-effective and scalable way to generate chemically stable Mg surface that inherits a biological advantage in orthopedic and dental implants in clinical applications.

Comparison of bovine serum albumin and chitosan effects on calcium phosphate formation in the presence of silver nanoparticles.

Project description:The precipitation of calcium phosphates (CaPs) in the presence of more than one type of additive is of interest both from a fundamental point of view and as a possible biomimetic route for the preparation of multicomponent composites in which the activity of the components is preserved. In this study, the effect of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and chitosan (Chi) on the precipitation of CaPs in the presence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) stabilized with sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT-AgNPs), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP-AgNPs), and citrate (cit-AgNPs) was investigated. In the control system, the precipitation of CaPs occurred in two steps. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) was the first precipitated solid, which transformed into a mixture of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CaDHA) and a smaller amount of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) after 60 min of ageing. Both biomacromolecules inhibited ACP transformation, with Chi being a stronger inhibitor due to its flexible molecular structure. As the concentration of the biomacromolecules increased, the amount of OCP decreased both in the absence and presence of AgNPs. In the presence of cit-AgNPs and two highest BSA concentrations, a change in the composition of the crystalline phase was observed. Calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate was formed in the mixture with CaDHA. An effect on the morphology of both the amorphous and crystalline phases was observed. The effect depended on the specific combination of biomacromolecules and differently stabilized AgNP. The results obtained suggest a simple method for fine-tuning the properties of precipitates using different classes of additives. This could be of interest for the biomimetic preparation of multifunctional composites for bone tissue engineering.

Biogenic and synthetic polyamines bind bovine serum albumin.

Project description:Biogenic polyamines are found to modulate protein synthesis at different levels, while polyamine analogues have shown major antitumor activity in multiple experimental models, including breast cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with biogenic polyamines, spermine and spermidine, and polyamine analogues 3,7,11,15-tetrazaheptadecane x 4 HCl (BE-333) and 3,7,11,15,19-pentazahenicosane x 5 HCl (BE-3333) in aqueous solution at physiological conditions. FTIR, UV-visible, CD, and fluorescence spectroscopic methods were used to determine the polyamine binding mode and the effects of polyamine complexation on protein stability and secondary structure. Structural analysis showed that polyamines bind BSA via both hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions. Stronger polyamine-protein complexes formed with biogenic than synthetic polyamines with overall binding constants of K(spm) = 3.56 (+/-0.5) x 10(5) M(-1), K(spmd) = 1.77 (+/-0.4) x 10(5) M(-1), K(BE-333) = 1.11 (+/-0.3) x 10(4) M(-1) and K(BE-3333) = 3.90 (+/-0.7) x 10(4) M(-1) that correlate with their positively charged amino group contents. Major alterations of protein conformation were observed with reduction of alpha-helix from 63% (free protein) to 55-33% and increase of turn 12% (free protein) to 28-16% and random coil from 6% (free protein) to 24-17% in the polyamine-BSA complexes, indicating a partial protein unfolding. These data suggest that serum albumins might act as polyamine carrier proteins in delivering polyamine analogues to target tissues.
