Production of a biocompatible hyperpolarized bolus for signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) could open the door to simple clinical diagnosis via magnetic resonance imaging. Essential to successful progression to preclinical/clinical applications is the determination of the toxicology profile of the SABRE reaction mixture. Herein, we exemplify the cytotoxicity of the SABRE approach using in vitro cell assays. We conclude that the main cause of the observed toxicity is due to the SA ...[more]

Project description:Signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) is shown to allow access to strongly enhanced 1 H?NMR signals in a range of substrates in aqueous media. To achieve this outcome, phase-transfer catalysis is exploited, which leads to less than 1.5×10-6 ?mol dm-3 of the iridium catalyst in the aqueous phase. These observations reflect a compelling route to produce a saline-based hyperpolarized bolus in just a few seconds for subsequent in vivo MRI monitoring. The new process has been called catalyst separated hyperpolarization through signal amplification by reversible exchange or CASH-SABRE. We illustrate this method for the substrates pyrazine, 5-methylpyrimidine, 4,6-d2 -methyl nicotinate, 4,6-d2 -nicotinamide and pyridazine achieving 1 H signal gains of approximately 790-, 340-, 3000-, 260- and 380-fold per proton at 9.4?T at the time point at which phase separation is complete.

Project description:In mammals, ovarian folliculogenesis leading to the ovulation of completely mature oocytes is a long and complex process that is regulated at different levels. The mechanisms that underlie the selection of one or several dominant follicles as well as the regulation of the number of ovulating follicles are largely unknown. In this project, we proposed to study the genetic determinism that underlies the difference of ovulation rate between species (cattle and pigs). Towards this purpose, we made a comparative transcriptomics study on granulosa cells. Pig and cattle comparison was achieved by a transcriptome analysis with a 9K nylon pig microarray (GPL3729) on granulosa cells from either small healthy antral follicles (SHF) or large healthy antral follicles (LHF). The images were quantified using AGscan software and the data were managed with BASE software. Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Transcriptomic analysis on pig and cattle evidenced 252 differentially expressed genes (FDR5%) between the two follicle classes and/or the two species. This research project which implicated three laboratories from INRA: « Laboratoire de Génétique Cellulaire » (UMR444-LGC) , « Station d’Amélioration Génétique des Animaux » (UR 631-SAGA) and « Physiologie des Comportements et de la reproduction » (UMR 85-PRC) benefited from both European funding through SABRE project and French ANR funding through GenOvul project.

Project description:Cytokines IL-1 and IFN-gamma have been shown to be the primary effectors of beta-cell destruction during the immune response. The aim of this study was to identify the gene expression changes that are associated with resistance of beta cells to cytokines. INS-1 rat insulinoma cells were grown in increasing doses of cytokines until a resistance phenotype had developed. RNA was prepared from these cytokine resistant sublines as well as the original, cytokine-sensitive parental INS-1 cells in Dr. Chris Newgard's lab, quantified and sent frozen in water. 3-7 biological replicates per condition were sent for the following three conditions: (i) 834/40, Cytokine-sensitive (CS), (ii) 833/15 and 833/117, Cytokine resistant grown in the absence of cytokines (CRu), (iii) 833/15C and 833/117C: Cytokine Resistant Grown in the Presence of Cytokines (CRt)

Project description:para-Hydrogen (p-H2) induced polarisation (PHIP) is an increasingly popular method for sensitivity enhancement in NMR spectroscopy. Its growing popularity is due in part to the introduction of the signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) method that generates renewable hyperpolarisation in target analytes in seconds. A key benefit of PHIP and SABRE is that p-H2 can be relatively easily and cheaply produced, with costs increasing with the desired level of p-H2 purity. In this work, the efficiency of the SABRE polarisation transfer is explored by measuring the level of analyte hyperpolarisation as a function of the level of p-H2 enrichment. A linear relationship was found between p-H2 enrichment and analyte 1H hyperpolarisation for a range of molecules, polarisation transfer catalysts, NMR detection fields and for both the SABRE and SABRE-Relay transfer mechanisms over the range 29-99% p-H2 purity. The gradient of these linear relationships were related to a simple theoretical model to define an overall efficiency parameter, E, that quantifies the net fraction of the available p-H2 polarisation that is transferred to the target analyte. We find that the efficiency of SABRE is independent of the NMR detection field and exceeds E = 20% for methyl-4,6-d2-nicotinate when using a previously optimised catalyst system. For the SABRE-Relay transfer mechanism, efficiencies of up to E = 1% were found for 1H polarisation of 1-propanol, when ammonia was used as the polarisation carrier.

Project description:Two melanotic human melanoma cell lines, IRE 1 and IRE 2, and the lymphoma- and leukaemia-derived cell lines Raji and K 562, were exposed to different concentrations (from 5 X 10(-3) M to 10(-5) M) of phenols, both substrates (s) and non-substrates (ns) of tyrosinase, in the presence or absence of the oxygen-radical-scavenger enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase. Monophenols were tyrosine (s), 4-hydroxyanisole (s) and butylated hydroxyanisole (ns); diphenols were L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (s), dopamine (3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) (s), terbutylcatechol (s), hydroquinone (s) and resorcinol (ns); triphenols were 6-hydroxydopa (3,4,6-trihydroxyphenylalanine) (s) and methyl gallate (s). Triphenols and o- and p-diphenols underwent complete oxidation in culture medium within 24 h of incubation and were significantly more toxic than monophenols and the m-diphenol resorcinol, which, under the same cultural conditions, were much more stable. No significant differences in percentage survival were found among the different cell lines for each drug tested. The major component of toxicity up to 24 h of di- and tri-phenols is due to toxic oxygen species acting outside the cells and not to cellular uptake of these phenols as such. In fact the addition of oxygen-radical-scavenger enzymes significantly (P less than 0.01) decreased the adverse effect of these drugs on all cell lines. The lower toxicity of monophenols and resorcinol as compared with that of di- and tri-phenols is due, in our opinion, to the fact that they are less oxidized under the conditions existing in the culture medium, and therefore do not produce sufficient levels of oxygen radicals. For these compounds, a primary intracellular action has to be taken into account to explain their cytotoxicity.

Project description:Methyl benzoate (MB) is a small, hydrophobic organic compound that is isolated from the freshwater fern, Salvinia molesta. Because of its pleasant odor, it has been used as a fragrance and flavor enhancer. In addition, it is used to attract orchid bees for pollination in the farm and has been tested for its potential to be developed as a green pesticide targeting a diverse group of insects. In spite of its wide applications, the safety of MB to humans remains poorly understood. In this study, we tested the cytotoxicity of MB against cultured human cells, including kidney, colon, and neuronal cells. Furthermore, other natural and synthetic benzoic acids such as ethyl benzoate (EB) and vinyl benzoate (VB) were compared with MB for their similarity and broad commercial and industrial applications. We found that MB and VB have the least and most overall toxicity to the tested human cells, respectively. In addition, the expression of some genes involved in cell cycle, protein quality control, and neurotransmission such as cyclin D1, HSP70, and ACHE genes was differentially expressed in the presence of these chemicals, most noticeably in treatment of VB. Our study provided the LC50 values of these benzoic acids for human cells in vitro and suggested their mild toxicity that should be considered in the industrial and agricultural applications to be within safe limits.

Project description:Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has garnered tremendous interest as conventional methods include the use and production of toxic chemicals, products, by-products and reagents. In this regard, the synthesis of AgNPs using green tea (GT) extract and two of its components, (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and (+)-catechin (Ct) as capping/stabilizing agents, is reported. The synthesized AgNPs showed antibacterial activity against the bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, along with anticancer activity against HeLa cells. After administering nanoparticles to the body, they come in contact with proteins and results in the formation of a protein corona; hence we studied the interactions of these biocompatible AgNPs with hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) as a carrier protein. Static quenching mechanism was accountable for the quenching of HEWL fluorescence by the AgNPs. The binding constant (Kb) was found to be higher for EGCG-AgNPs ((2.309 ± 0.018) × 104 M−1) than for GT-AgNPs and Ct-AgNPs towards HEWL. EGCG-AgNPs increased the polarity near the binding site while Ct-AgNPs caused the opposite effect, but GT-AgNPs had no such observable effects. Circular dichroism studies indicated that the AgNPs had no such appreciable impact on the secondary structure of HEWL. The key findings of this research included the synthesis of AgNPs using GT extract and its constituent polyphenols, and showed significant antibacterial, anticancer and protein-binding properties. The –OH groups of the polyphenols drive the in situ capping/stabilization of the AgNPs during synthesis, which might offer new opportunities having implications for nanomedicine and nanodiagnostics. Graphical abstract Image 1 Highlights • Green tea and its constituent polyphenols can effectively reduce Ag+ ion to AgNPs.• Synthesized AgNPs could bind to HEWL and quench its intrinsic fluorescence.• Binding of AgNPs with HEWL was found to be spontaneous in nature.• AgNPs showed promising anti-bacterial effects against E. coli and S. aureus.• Biocompatible AgNPs showed enhanced cytotoxicity towards HeLa cells.

Project description:Electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs), which were modified with hydroxyapatite, were fabricated to be used as a substrate for bone cell proliferation. The CNFs were derived from electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers after two steps of heat treatment: stabilization and carbonization. Carbon nanofibrous (CNF)/hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocomposites were prepared by two different methods; one of them being modification during electrospinning (CNF-8HA) and the second method being hydrothermal modification after carbonization (CNF-8HA; hydrothermally) to be used as a platform for bone tissue engineering. The biological investigations were performed using in-vitro cell counting, WST cell viability and cell morphology after three and seven days. L929 mouse fibroblasts were found to be more viable on the hydrothermally-modified CNF scaffolds than on the unmodified CNF scaffolds. The biological characterizations of the synthesized CNF/HA nanofibrous composites indicated higher capability of bone regeneration.

Project description:Many processes in living cells have electrochemical characteristics that are suitable for measurement by potentiometric biosensors. Potentiometric biosensors allow non-invasive, real time monitoring of the extracellular environment changes by measuring the potential at cell/sensor interface. This can be used as an indicator for overall cell cytotoxicity. The present work employs a potentiometric sensor array to investigate the cytotoxicity of hydroquinone to cultured mammalian V79 cells. Various electrode substrates (Au, PPy-HQ and PPy-PS) used for cell growth were designed and characterized. The controllable release of hydroquinone from PPy substrates was studied. Our results showed that hydroquinone exposure affected cell proliferation and delayed cell growth and attachment in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, we have shown that exposure of V79 cells to hydroquinone at low doses (i.e. 5 microM) for more than 15 h allows V79 cells to gain enhanced adaptability to survive exposure to high toxic HQ doses afterwards. Compared with traditional methods, the potentiometric biosensor not only provides non-invasive and real time monitoring of the cellular reactions but also is more sensitive for in vitro cytotoxicity study. By real time and non-invasive monitoring of the extracellular potential in vitro, the potentiometric sensor system represents a promising biosensor system for drug discovery.
