Benzothiazole aniline tetra(ethylene glycol) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole inhibit neuroprotection against amyloid peptides by catalase overexpression in vitro.

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease, Familial British dementia, Familial Danish dementia, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, plus Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are associated with amyloid fibril deposition and oxidative stress. The antioxidant enzyme catalase is a neuroprotective amyloid binding protein. Herein the effects of catalase overexpression in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells on the toxicity of amyloid-β (Aβ), amyloid-Bri (ABri), amyloid-Dan (ADan), amylin (IAPP), and prion protein (PrP) peptides were determined. Results showed catalase overexpression was neuroprotective against Aβ, ABri, ADan, IAPP, and PrP peptides. The catalase inhibitor 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) and catalase-amyloid interaction inhibitor benzothiazole aniline tetra(ethylene glycol) (BTA-EG4) significantly enhanced neurotoxicity of amyloid peptides in catalase overexpressing neuronal cells. This suggests catalase neuroprotection involves breakdown of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plus a direct binding interaction between catalase and the Aβ, ABri, ADan, IAPP, and PrP peptides. Kisspeptin 45-50 had additive neuroprotective actions against the Aβ peptide in catalase overexpressing cells. The effects of 3-AT had an intracellular site of action, while catalase-amyloid interactions had an extracellular component. These results suggest that the 3-AT and BTA-EG4 compounds may be able to inhibit endogenous catalase mediated neuroprotection. Use of BTA-EG4, or compounds that inhibit catalase binding to amyloid peptides, as potential therapeutics for Neurodegenerative diseases may therefore result in unwanted effects.

Emission Properties of Diblock Copolymers Composed of Poly(ethylene glycol) and Dense 1,2,3-Triazole Blocks.

Project description:This article describes a new block copolymer (EGm-b-APn, where m and n denote the degrees of polymerization) of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(1,4-(1-H-1,2,3-triazolylene)methylene) prepared by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) polymerization of 3-azido-1-propyne (AP) in the presence of PEG carrying a propargyl moiety. The EGm-b-APn samples are well soluble in polar organic solvents. Unexpectedly, we observed that solutions of EGm-b-APn in N,N-dimethylformamide emitted fluorescence. We systematically studied absorption and emission properties of the block copolymers. The experimental data have exhibited that APn block is an intrinsic fluorophore. Interestingly, the emission of EGm-b-APn can be easily tuned from ultraviolet to green fluorescence by changing the excitation wavelength. This enables fine-tuning of its optical property without the need of changing the chromophore. Moreover, the block copolymers show a fluorescence response to metal ions (e.g., Cu2+). Our discoveries contribute to the fundamental understanding of the optical properties of dense triazole-based polymer and raise intriguing prospects for fabricating novel emissive triazole-based materials.

Interaction of hyaluronan binding peptides with glycosaminoglycans in poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels.

Project description:This study investigates the incorporation of hyaluronan (HA) binding peptides into poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels as a mechanism to bind and retain hyaluronan for applications in tissue engineering. The specificity of the peptide sequence (native RYPISRPRKRC vs non-native RPSRPRIRYKC), the role of basic amino acids, and specificity to hyaluronan over other GAGs in contributing to the peptide-hyaluronan interaction were probed through experiments and simulations. Hydrogels containing the native or non-native peptide retained hyaluronan in a dose-dependent manner. Ionic interactions were the dominating mechanism. In diH2O the peptides interacted strongly with HA and chondroitin sulfate, but in phosphate buffered saline the peptides interacted more strongly with HA. For cartilage tissue engineering, chondrocyte-laden PEG hydrogels containing increasing amounts of HA binding peptide and exogenous HA had increased retention and decreased loss of cell-secreted proteoglycans in and from the hydrogel at 28 days. This new matrix-interactive hydrogel platform holds promise for tissue regeneration.

Temporally tunable, enzymatically responsive delivery of proangiogenic peptides from poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels.

Project description:Proangiogenic drugs hold great potential to promote reperfusion of ischemic tissues and in tissue engineering applications, but efficacy is limited by poor targeting and short half-lives. Methods to control release duration or provide enzymatically responsive drug delivery have independently improved drug efficacy. However, no material has been developed to temporally control the rate of enzymatically responsive drug release. To address this void, hydrogels are developed to provide sustained, tunable release of Qk, a proangiogenic peptide mimic of vascular endothelial growth factor, via tissue-specific enzymatic activity. After confirmation that sustained delivery of Qk is necessary for proangiogenic effects, a variety of previously identified matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-degradable linkers are used to tether Qk to hydrogels. Of these, three (IPES?LRAG, GPQG?IWGQ, and VPLS?LYSG) show MMP-responsive peptide release. These linkers provide tunable Qk release kinetics, with rates ranging from 1.64 to 19.9 × 10(-3) h(-1) in vitro and 4.82 to 8.94 × 10(-3) h(-1) in vivo. While Qk is confirmed to be bioactive as released, hydrogels releasing Qk fail to induce significant vascularization in vivo after one week, likely due to the use of nonenzymatically degradable hydrogels. While Qk is the focus of this study, the approach could easily be adapted to control the delivery of a variety of therapeutic molecules.

Affinity peptides protect transforming growth factor beta during encapsulation in poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels.

Project description:Transforming growth factor beta (TGF?(1)) influences a host of cellular fates, including proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Due to its short half-life and cross reactivity with a variety of cells, clinical application of TGF?(1) may benefit from a localized delivery strategy. Photoencapsulation of proteins in polymeric matrices offers such an opportunity; however, the reactions forming polymer networks often result in lowered protein bioactivity. Here, PEG-based gels formed from the chain polymerization of acrylated monomers were studied as a model system for TGF?(1) delivery. Concentrations of acrylate group ranging from 0 to 50 mM and photopolymerization conditions were systematically altered to study their effects on TGF?(1) bioactivity. In addition, two peptide sequences, WSHW (K(D) = 8.20 nM) and KRIWFIPRSSWY (K(D) = 10.41 nM), that exhibit binding affinity for TGF?(1) were introduced into the monomer solution prior to encapsulation to determine if affinity binders would increase the activity and release of the encapsulated growth factor. The addition of affinity peptides enhanced the bioactivity of TGF?(1) in vitro from 1.3- to 2.9-fold, compared to hydrogels with no peptide. Further, increasing the concentration of affinity peptides by a factor of 100-10000 relative to the TGF?(1) concentration increased fractional recovery of the protein from PEG hydrogels.

Poly(ethylene glycol)-crosslinked gelatin hydrogel substrates with conjugated bioactive peptides influence endothelial cell behavior.

Project description:The basement membrane is a specialized extracellular matrix substrate responsible for support and maintenance of epithelial and endothelial structures. Engineered basement membrane-like hydrogel systems have the potential to advance understanding of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions by allowing precise tuning of the substrate or matrix biochemical and biophysical properties. In this investigation, we developed tunable hydrogel substrates with conjugated bioactive peptides to modulate cell binding and growth factor signaling by endothelial cells. Hydrogels were formed by employing a poly(ethylene glycol) crosslinker to covalently crosslink gelatin polymers and simultaneously conjugate laminin-derived YIGSR peptides or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mimetic QK peptides to the gelatin. Rheological characterization revealed rapid formation of hydrogels with similar stiffnesses across tested formulations, and swelling analysis demonstrated dependency on peptide and crosslinker concentrations in hydrogels. Levels of phosphorylated VEGF Receptor 2 in cells cultured on hydrogel substrates revealed that while human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) responded to both soluble and conjugated forms of the QK peptide, conditionally-immortalized human glomerular endothelial cells (GEnCs) only responded to the conjugated presentation of the peptide. Furthermore, whereas HUVECs exhibited greatest upregulation in gene expression when cultured on YIGSR- and QK-conjugated hydrogel substrates after 5 days, GEnCs exhibited greatest upregulation when cultured on Matrigel control substrates at the same time point. These results indicate that conjugation of bioactive peptides to these hydrogel substrates significantly influenced endothelial cell behavior in cultures but with differential responses between HUVECs and GEnCs.

5-Amino-3-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(4)H(5)N(7), comprises two independent but virtually superimposable mol-ecules. Each mol-ecule is planar with the dihedral angles between the five-membered rings being 2.8?(3) and 2.1?(3)°. The crystal structure is formed by an extensive network of relatively strong N-H?N hydrogen-bond inter-actions. Individual mol-ecules are arranged into supra-molecular zigzag chains running parallel to [001] by way of the strongest N-H?N inter-actions. Adjacent chains are inter-connected by rather long (D?A distances range from ca 3.00 to 3.03?Å) but highly directional (inter-action angles above ca 173°) hydrogen bonds forming a supra-molecular layer in the bc plane.
