The behaviour of caeruloplasmin in stored human extracellular fluids in relation to ferroxidase II activity, lipid peroxidation and phenanthroline-detectable copper.

ABSTRACT: No Cu(II) ion is measurable in human serum or synovial fluid by the phenanthroline assay. On storage of human serum or synovial fluid at 4 degrees C, phenanthroline-detectable copper appears, lipid peroxidation occurs, ferroxidase I activity declines and ferroxidase II activity rises, yet there is no fall in immunologically detectable caeruloplasmin. Storage of body fluids at -20 degrees C or -70 degrees C slows, but does not prevent, these deteriorative changes. It is suggested that the presence of low-molecular-mass Cu(II) ion complexes, ferroxidase II activity, "cytotoxic factors' and "immunosuppressive factors' in body fluids may be, in part or in whole, an artifact of the storage and handling of the fluids. A report [Blake, Blann, Bacon, Farr, Gutteridge & Halliwell (1983) Clin. Sci. 64, 551-553] that the caeruloplasmin present in rheumatoid synovial fluid is deficient in ferroxidase activity is shown to be such an artifact. It is strongly recommended that all such experiments be performed upon freshly taken fluid samples.

Copper:caeruloplasmin ratio.

Project description:Investigation of copper status can be a diagnostic challenge. The non-caeruloplasmin-bound copper (NCC) has deficiencies; accordingly, the copper:caeruloplasmin ratio has been suggested as an alternative index of copper status. A reference interval for this index was derived. In addition to making the interpretation of copper easier, the copper:caeruloplasmin ratio should also enable adjustment for relatively high caeruloplasmin concentrations without recourse to producing gender- and age-derived intervals. The copper:caeruloplasmin ratio has weaknesses similar to those identified for NCC in that immunological methods used for caeruloplasmin can cross react with apocaeruloplasmin and there is no standardised method for caeruloplasmin. Caeruloplasmin assays also have uncertainty from precision, bias and specificity and, accordingly, method-related differences may have a large effect on the copper:caeruloplasmin ratio in a manner similar to the NCC.

Copper-phenanthroline-induced site-specific oxygen-radical damage to DNA. Detection of loosely bound trace copper in biological fluids.

Project description:Copper(II) ions, in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline, O2 and a reducing agent, degrade DNA with the release of thiobarbituric-acid-reactive material. This reaction, dependent on the formation of oxygen radicals, was made the basis of a sensitive and specific assay for loosely bound copper in body fluids. When applied to certain extracellular fluids, trace amounts of copper could be detected in the lower micromolar range.

Diaqua-bis-(perchlorato)(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II).

Project description:In the title compound, [Cu(ClO(4))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) atom is coordinated in a square-planar fashion by the two N atoms of a chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and by two water mol-ecules trans to the N atoms. The coordination sphere of the metal atom is augmented by O atoms of two weakly bonded perchlorate anions, thus yielding a strongly distorted CuN(2)O(4) octa-hedral environment. The crystal packing is stabilized by O-H?O hydrogen bonds between the water mol-ecules and the perchlorate anions. In addition, the organic mol-ecules are associated by ?-? stacking inter-actions between symmetry-equivalent anti-parallel non-nitro-gen aromatic rings, with inter-planar distances of 3.543?(2)?Å.

catena-Poly[[(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II)]-?-oxalato].

Project description:In the title coordination polymer, [Cu(C(2)O(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cu(II) atom is six-coordinated by four O atoms from two oxalate ligands and two N atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The oxalate anions act as bis-bidentate ligands, bridging the Cu-phen units in zigzag chains extending parallel to [100]. Inter-chain C-H?O hydrogen bonding and ?-? stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7439?(17)?Å] assemble neighboring chains, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.

Bleomycin-detectable iron in knee-joint synovial fluid from arthritic patients and its relationship to the extracellular antioxidant activities of caeruloplasmin, transferrin and lactoferrin.

Project description:Some 40% of knee-joint synovial fluids from arthritic patients show the presence of bleomycin-detectable iron. This is released from a protein component of the fluid to bleomycin at acidic pH values. Patients whose fluids release iron have lower contents of transferrin, lactoferrin and caeruloplasmin than do patients whose fluids do not release iron to bleomycin. These proteins are important extracellular antioxidants, and measured antioxidant activities are extremely low in the iron-releasing fluids. The propensity of some fluids to release iron at low pH values, characteristic of the microenvironment beneath adherent macrophages, coupled with their decreased antioxidant protection against iron-stimulated oxygen-radical damage, might explain previously reported correlations between clinical disease severity, lipid peroxide content and the presence of bleomycin-detectable iron [Rowley, Gutteridge, Blake, Farr & Halliwell (1984) Clin. Sci. 66, 691-695].

Bromidobis(1,10-phenanthroline-?N,N')copper(II) dicyanamidate.

Project description:The title compound, [CuBr(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)][N(CN)(2)], is formed of discrete [CuBr(phen)(2)](+) complex cations and uncoordinated [N(CN)(2)](-) anions (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline). The Cu atom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry by two phen mol-ecules and one bromide ligand, which coordinates in the equatorial plane at a distance of 2.5228?(4)?Å and lying along with the Cu and the amide N atoms on a twofold rotation axis. The two axial Cu-N distances [1.9926?(15)?Å] are slightly shorter than the two equatorial Cu-N bonds [2.0979?(15)?Å]. The structure is stabilized by a weak C-H?N hydrogen bond, with a cyanide N atom of the dicyanamide ligand as an acceptor, and ?-? inter-actions between nearly parallel phenyl and pyridine rings of two adjacent phen mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.589?(1)?Å], and between ? electrons of the dicyanamide anion and the pyridine ring [N?Cg(pyridine) = 3.511?(3)?Å; C-N?Cg(pyridine) = 80.2?(2)°].

Project description:In the title complex, [Cu(2)(CN)(NCS)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], which was synthesized under hydro-thermal conditions, both Cu(I) atoms have a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. They are coordinated by two N atoms of one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one bridging thio-cyanate anion and one bridging cyanide anion. In the crystal structure, infinite helical {Cu-CN-Cu-SCN}(n) chains are formed along [01].

Dichlorido(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-?N,N')copper(II).

Project description:In the title compound, [CuCl(2)(C(14)H(12)N(2))], the complex molecule has m symmetry, with the mirror plane oriented parallel to the planar molecule and the ligated Cu(II) atom. The metal centre has a distorted tetra-hedral coordination formed by two N atoms from one 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two Cl atoms. There is inter-molecular ?-? stacking between adjacent 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.733?(2)Å.

catena-Poly[[[(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(I)]-?-cyanido] ethanol hemisolvate].

Project description:In the title coordination polymer, {[Cu(CN)(C(12)H(10)N(2))]·0.5C(2)H(5)OH}(n), there are two Cu(I) ions, two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands and two cyanide ions in the asymmetric unit along with a highly disordered ethanol solvent mol-ecule, which was modelled as being disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.829?(7):0.171?(7) ratio. The orientation/ordering of the C and N atoms of the cyanide ions could not be determined in the present refinement and they were modelled as being statistically disordered. Both copper ions are coordinated by an N,N'-bidentate phen ligand and two cyanide ligands, generating distorted tetra-hedral CuN(2)Q(2) (Q = C or N) tetra-hedra. The ?-cyanide ligands link the metal ions, forming a zigzag chain propagating in [001]. The chains are cross-linked by numerous aromatic ?-? stacking contacts between adjacent phen rings [minimum centroid-centroid separation = 3.620?(3)?Å].

Acoustic Enrichment of Extracellular Vesicles from Biological Fluids.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a rich source of biomarkers providing diagnostic and prognostic information in diseases such as cancer. Large-scale investigations into the contents of EVs in clinical cohorts are warranted, but a major obstacle is the lack of a rapid, reproducible, efficient, and low-cost methodology to enrich EVs. Here, we demonstrate the applicability of an automated acoustic-based technique to enrich EVs, termed acoustic trapping. Using this technology, we have successfully enriched EVs from cell culture conditioned media and urine and blood plasma from healthy volunteers. The acoustically trapped samples contained EVs ranging from exosomes to microvesicles in size and contained detectable levels of intravesicular microRNAs. Importantly, this method showed high reproducibility and yielded sufficient quantities of vesicles for downstream analysis. The enrichment could be obtained from a sample volume of 300 ?L or less, an equivalent to 30 min of enrichment time, depending on the sensitivity of downstream analysis. Taken together, acoustic trapping provides a rapid, automated, low-volume compatible, and robust method to enrich EVs from biofluids. Thus, it may serve as a novel tool for EV enrichment from large number of samples in a clinical setting with minimum sample preparation.
