AB  - Background  Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disorder intricately linked to perturbations in trace element levels. While previous studies have explored circulating trace elements in a limited sample, understanding the impact of demographic and clinical variables on the elemental profile within a larger cohort remains elusive. Methods  This study aimed to evaluate essential trace elements (Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, and Se) in the sera of 215 MS patients compared to a meticulously matched control group of 100 individuals with similar gender and age. Our main objective was to identify potential variations in elemental profiles based on demographic and clinical parameters among MS patients, elucidating the prospective relevance of supplementing specific essential trace elements. Results  Data indicated a significant decrease in serum levels of Mn, Co, Zn, and Se, and an increase in Cr in MS patients compared to controls. These trace elements not only discriminated between MS patients and controls but also exhibited distinctive capabilities among demographic subgroups. Gender, smoking habits, and age strata (20-40 years and 41-60 years) revealed discernible variations in elemental profiles between MS patients and their control counterparts. Se demonstrated the singular ability to stratify cases of extreme MS severity, mild relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and highly severe secondary progressive MS (SPMS). In contrast, Co significantly differentiated RRMS from primary progressive MS (PPMS), while Cu significantly differentiated SPMS from PPMS. Additionally, Cu showed a negative correlation with MSSS, while Mn and Zn showed a positive correlation with EDSS. Conclusion  These findings underscore a substantive deficiency in Mn, Co, Zn, and Se in the MS cohort, supporting targeted supplementation with these trace elements. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between essential trace elements and MS, paving the way for further research into personalized nutritional interventions for this complex neurological disorder.

AB  - Anthropogenic pollution poses a major threat to aquatic ecosystems, which can lead to their degradation. The accumulation and toxicity of metals and trace elements in fish leads to physiological and chemical changes in the fish body. In this study, we investigated the effects of bioaccumulation of metals and trace elements on freshwater fish fatty acid profiles at two different sites before and after the discharge of untreated municipal wastewater in two fish species with different diet habits. Although the concentrations of toxic elements were below the maximum levels proposed by the EU and the Republic of Serbia, this study showed statistically significant correlations between the presence of certain elements and the fatty acid (FA) profile in fish muscle. Lower concentrations of polyunsaturated FA in fish sampled after the discharge of untreated municipal wastewater were detected.
AB  - In this study, the concentrations of metals and trace elements (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn) were determined in the muscle tissue of adult roach and white bream at two different sites in the Belgrade section of the Danube. Twenty-six fatty acids, consisting of nine saturated FA (SFAs), seven monosaturated FA (MUFAs) and ten polysaturated FA (PUFAs), were identified. The analysis of the concentration of metals and trace elements of the roach and white bream showed species-specific differences in their bioaccumulation. Four of all elements analyzed (As, Hg, Ni and Pb) correlated significantly with the changes in FA profiles in fish from both sampling sites, with the exception of Cu, which correlated with the FA profile at the site before, and Zn, whose concentration influenced the FA profile at the site after wastewater discharges. The lower PUFA content in the fish from a site under higher environment pressure could indicate that the fish are stressed. The results suggest that changes in lipid composition may be one of the protective mechanisms of cells to cope with anthropogenic stressors.

AB  - Introduction: During fetal development, the proper development of neural and visual systems relies on the maternal supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids through placental transfer. Pregnant women are strongly advised to augment their diet with additional sources of omega-3, such as fish oil (FO). This supplementation has been linked to a reduced risk of preterm birth, pre-eclampsia, and perinatal depression. Recently, higher doses of omega-3 supplementation have been recommended for pregnant women. Considering that omega-3 fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), play a crucial role in maintaining the delicate homeostasis required for the proper functioning of the retina and photoreceptors the effects of high-dose fish oil (FO) supplementation during pregnancy and lactation on the retina and retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) in healthy offspring warrant better understanding.  Methods: The fatty acid content and the changes in the expression of the genes regulating cholesterol homeostasis and DHA transport in the retina and RPE were evaluated following the high-dose FO supplementation.  Results: Our study demonstrated that despite the high-dose FO treatment during pregnancy and lactation, the rigorous DHA homeostasis in the retina and RPE of the two-month-old offspring remained balanced. Another significant finding of this study is the increase in the expression levels of major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein (Mfsd2a), a primary DHA transporter. Mfsd2a also serves as a major regulator of transcytosis during development, and a reduction in Mfsd2a levels poses a major risk for the development of leaky blood vessels.  Conclusion: Impairment of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) is associated with the development of numerous ocular diseases, and a better understanding of how to manipulate transcytosis in the BRB during development can enhance drug delivery through the BRB or contribute to the repair of central nervous system (CNS) barriers.

AB  - Background: Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Triple-negaƟ ve breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype and is associated with high recurrence rates, high incidence of distant metastases and poor overall survival. The aim of this study was to invesƟ gate the role of cludin 3, claudin 4 and claudin 7 in TNBC promoƟ on and progression. Claudins are Ɵ ght juncƟ on (TJ) integral membrane proteins that are key regulators of the paracellular pathway. Materials and methods: This is a retrospecƟ ve analysis of 125 paƟ ents with triple-negaƟ ve breast cancer operated at the InsƟ tute of Oncology and Radiology of Serbia in the period from 2009 to 2014. The expression of claudin 3, 4 and 7 was observed using the immunohistochemical staining method. The Allred scoring system was used with cut-off values: ≤4 and >4 (low/ high expression). Results: Our results showed that the expression of claudins 3 and 4 correlate with higher nuclear gradus and low desease free interval (DFI). More over, the expression of claudin 3 and claudin 4 correlates (Spearman test p˂0.0001). In addiƟ on, high expression of claudin 7 is signifi cantly related to low DFI of paƟ ents (p˂0.005) and distant metastases. Conclusions: We concluded that claudin 3, claudin 4 and claudin 7 have signifi cant impact on TNBC progression. Namely, elevated expression of these proteins signifi cantly correlates with low DFI and distant metastases. In other words, elevated expression of claudins is a bad news for TNBC paƟ ents. Therefore, the expression of claudins could be a good prognosƟ c marker for TNBC paƟ ents and potential target for future therapy protocols.

AB  - The careful monitoring of patients with mild/moderate COVID-19 is of particular importance because of the rapid progression of complications associated with COVID-19. For prognostic reasons and for the economic management of health care resources, additional biomarkers need to be identified, and their monitoring can conceivably be performed in the early stages of the disease. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we found that serum concentrations of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), at the time of hospital admission, could be useful biomarkers for COVID-19 management. The study included 160 randomly selected recovered patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 on admission. Compared with healthy controls, serum HMGB1 and HO-1 levels increased by 487.6 pg/mL versus 43.1 pg/mL and 1497.7 pg/mL versus 756.1 pg/mL, respectively. Serum HO-1 correlated significantly with serum HMGB1, oxidative stress parameters (malondialdehyde (MDA), the phosphatidylcholine/lysophosphatidylcholine ratio (PC/LPC), the ratio of reduced and oxidative glutathione (GSH/GSSG)), and anti-inflammatory acute phase proteins (ferritin, haptoglobin). Increased heme catabolism/hemolysis were not detected. We hypothesize that the increase in HO-1 in the early phase of COVID-19 disease is likely to have a survival benefit by providing protection against oxidative stress and inflammation, whereas the level of HMGB1 increase reflects the activity of the innate immune system and represents levels within which the disease can be kept under control.

AB  - Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation in the blood vessels and is associated with cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The increased accumulation of Aβ is also present in the retinal blood vessels and a significant correlation between retinal and brain amyloid deposition was demonstrated in living patients and animal AD models. The Aβ accumulation in the retinal blood vessels can be the result of impaired transcytosis and/or the dysfunctional ocular glymphatic system in AD and during aging. We analyzed the changes in the mRNA and protein expression of major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein2a (Mfsd2a), the major regulator of transcytosis, and of Aquaporin4 (Aqp4), the key player implicated in the functioning of the glymphatic system, in the retinas of 4- and 12-month-old WT and 5xFAD female mice. A strong decrease in the Mfsd2a mRNA and protein expression was observed in the 4 M and 12 M 5xFAD and 12 M WT retinas. The increase in the expression of srebp1-c could be at least partially responsible for the Mfsd2a decrease in the 4 M 5xFAD retinas. The decrease in the pericyte (CD13+) coverage of retinal blood vessels in the 4 M and 12 M 5xFAD retinas and in the 12 M WT retinas suggests that pericyte loss could be associated with the Mfsd2a downregulation in these experimental groups. The observed increase in Aqp4 expression in 4 M and 12 M 5xFAD and 12 M WT retinas accompanied by the decreased perivascular Aqp4 expression is indicative of the impaired glymphatic system. The findings in this study reveal the impaired Mfsd2a and Aqp4 expression and Aqp4 perivascular mislocalization in retinal blood vessels during physiological (WT) and pathological (5xFAD) aging, indicating their importance as putative targets for the development of new treatments that can improve the regulation of transcytosis or the function of the glymphatic system.

AB  - Introduction In the present study, we assessed the effects of the hyper-harmonized-hydroxylated fullerene–water complex (3HFWC) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathological hallmarks in 5XFAD mice, an AD animal model. Methods The 3-week-old 5XFAD mice were exposed to 3HFWC water solution ad libitum for 3 months in the presymptomatic phase of pathology. The functional effects of the treatment were confirmed through near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) analysis through machine learning (ML) using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to classify the control and 3HFWC-treated brain tissue samples. The effects of 3HFWC treatment on amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation, plaque formation, gliosis, and synaptic plasticity in cortical and hippocampal tissue were assessed. Results The 3HFWC treatment significantly decreased the amyloid-β plaque load in specific parts of the cerebral cortex. At the same time, 3HFWC treatment did not induce the activation of glia (astrocytes and microglia) nor did it negatively affect synaptic protein markers (GAP-43, synaptophysin, and PSD-95). Conclusion The obtained results point to the potential of 3HFWC, when applied in the presymptomatic phase of AD, to interfere with amyloid plaque formation without inducing AD-related pathological processes such as neuroinflammation, gliosis, and synaptic vulnerability.

AB  - The aim of the study was to investigate the potency of Cinnamomum camphora cineoliferum and Melaleuca ericifolia essential oils (EOs) against facultative and obligate anaerobes isolated from teeth’ infected root canals. Biocompatibility of the EOs was also in the study focus. Chemical composition of the EOs was determined by GC/MS analysis. Their antibacterial potential and cytotoxicity were evaluated by microdilution and MTT assays, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by Student’s t-test and one way ANOVA. Two the most abundant constituents of C. camphora cineoliferum EO were 1,8-cineole and sabinene, while in M. ericifolia EO the dominant were linalool and 1,8-cineole. MICs achieved against all tested strains were in the ranges 0.95±0.50 - 22.50±0.00 mg/mL and 0.65±0.00 - 23.35±7.80 mg/mL for the C. camphora cioneoliferum and M. ericifolia EOs, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that response to both oils has not differed between facultative and obligate anaerobes. Sensitivity pattern of the tested strains was different for the EOs and the positive control triple antibiotic paste (TAP): while E. faecalis and certain strains of S. salivarius were among the most sensitive to the oils, they were the least susceptible to the conventional antimicrobial TAP. Although the observed cytotoxicity of the EOs after 30 min of cell exposition was high (50.78-66.35% and up to 70% for C. camphora cioneoliferum and M. ericifolia EOs, respectively) it was lower than that of positive control (1.5% NaOCl, p<0.05). To conclude, both EOs showed promising antibacterial potential and achieved at least the same or even better biocompatibility than the conventional intracanal antimicrobials. Obtained results strongly encourage future research with an aim to formulate C. camphora cioneoliferum and M. ericifolia EO- based irrigants and medicaments, that could be used in endodontic practice.

AB  - Rak dojke (RD) je najčešći tip maligniteta i vodeći uzrok smrti od raka kod žena širom sveta. RD je izuzetno heterogena bolest i stoga su neophodni različiti modaliteti lečenja da bi se pokrile ove razlike. Cilj našeg istraživanja je bio da se ispita uticaj inaktivacije TP53 i PTEN tumor supresorskih gena (TSG) na odgovor RD na različite modalitete lečenja, kao i njihova moguća saradnja u tome, na postoperativnim uzorcima RD.

AB  - Introduction. Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent type of malignancy and the leading cause of cancer related death among women worldwide. BC is exceptionally heterogeneous disease and therefore distinct treatment modalities are necessary to address these differences. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of TP53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) inactivation on BC response to different treatment modalities and their possible cooperation, on post-operative BC samples.   Methods. Patients were classified, based on applied adjuvant therapy, into four distinct groups: those that received hormonal therapy (HT) only, hormonal therapy combined with chemotherapy (HT/CHT), hormonal therapy combined with chemo and biological therapy (HT/CHT/H), and other systemic therapies that exclude HT. Functional inactivation of TP53 and PTEN TSG’s were studied by mutation, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and hypermethylation analysis.   Results. Our results revealed that TP53 gene was altered in 63 out of 90 specimens (70%), while the frequency of PTEN alterations was slightly lower, 54 out of 90 (60%). Simultaneous inactivation was detected in 43 tested samples (48%) with significant association between two analyzed TSGs. Further, we found that TP53 status has significant influence on patients’ therapy response. Contrary to this, no significance was found between mutational status of PTEN and various treatment modalities. However, significant association was found between the type of applied therapy and simultaneous alterations of these two TSGs (p = 0.00001).   Conclusion. Patients with wtTP53 show significantly better therapy response regardless of the type of therapy, compared to carriers of altered TPp53 gene.

However, significant association was found between the type of applied therapy and simultaneous alterations of these two TSGs (p = 0.00001).   Conclusion. Patients with wtTP53 show significantly better therapy response regardless of the type of therapy, compared to carriers of altered TPp53 gene.",

AB  - A number of alterations have been identified in lipid metabolism within adipose tissue and liver in obesity. Less is known about the capacity of skeletal muscle for the metabolism of fatty acids in obesity-related insulin resistance, though it is evident that dry cow muscles may contain increased triglyceride content. The current study was therefore undertaken to evaluate the skeletal muscle expression of proteins of the fatty acid metabolism in dry cows with different body condition scores (BCS). Sixteen Holstein-Friesian close-up cows were divided into 2 equal groups based on their BCS as optimal (3.25 ≤ BCS ≤ 3.5) and high (4.0 ≤ BCS ≤ 4.25). Blood samples collection and skeletal muscle biopsies were carried out at day 10 before calving. Blood serum was assayed for concentration of resistin using a bovine specific ELISA. Protein expression of insulin receptor beta subunit (IRβ), glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36), fatty acid transporter 1 (FATP1), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), AMP-acitvated protein kinase (AMPK) and lipin 1 were analyzed in semitendinosus muscle by immunoblot. Resistin differed non-significantly between high-BCS and optimal-BCS cows. Insulin-resistant lipid metabolism in obese cows was paralleled with increased skeletal muscle expression of lipin 1 and GLUT4, and decreased expression of IRβ and FATP1. These data suggest that in obesity-related insulin resistance, metabolic capacity in dry cow skeletal muscles appears to be organized towards the synthesis of signaling intermediates rather than fatty acids oxidation and that altered fatty acid uptake does not contribute to this disposition.

AB  - The present study aimed to examine the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell 11 and Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell 52 on glucose (blood level and tolerance), lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), transaminases (AST and ALT), ALP, urea, and creatinine, along with body weight, food intake, liquid consumption, and gross pathology in a mouse model of metabolic syndrome. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat high-sucrose diet and treated by oral gavage with a probiotic mixture in three different concentrations (107, 108, and 109 CFU/mL) once daily for 2 months. Probiotic supplementation, particularly at a concentration of 109 CFU, significantly decreased blood glucose and serum triglyceride levels, improved glucose tolerance, and promoted body weight loss in mice fed a high-fat high-sucrose diet. According to the obtained results, probiotic supplementation is useful for controlling glucose and triglyceride levels and could be used as an adjunctive therapeutic approach in patients with metabolic syndrome.

AB  - Glucocorticoids are the most potent anti-inflammatory agents known. Limited in vivo data are available to characterize the mechanism underlying their cognitive side effects and transient occurrence of steroid psychosis. Cholesterol is important for proper neurotransmission and brain plasticity, and disruption of its homeostasis in the brain has been closely associated with memory decline during aging and in age-related neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study, we assessed the direct effects of dexamethasone, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, on the expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and cholesterol 24S-hydroxylase (CYP46A1), major enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis, metabolism, and excretion, respectively. The effects of the dexamethasone were examined during aging, in the cortex and hippocampus of 6-, 12- and 18-month-old rats, and following long-term food restriction (FR). The most prominent change observed was the age-related decrease in ApoE mRNA regardless of the food regimen applied. In animals kept on FR, this decrease was accompanied by an increase in the mRNA expression of HMGCR and CYP46A1. The present study also demonstrates that food restriction reversed most of the dexamethasone-induced changes in the expression of genes involved in regulation of cholesterol homeostasis in aging rats, in a region-specific manner.

AB  - The recommended fish oil (FO) supplementation doses often yield low omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) tissue bioavailability, and higher doses (up to 10 g per day) have been increasingly recommended. However, the exact effects of such FO supplementation on the healthy retina and retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) are unknown. Our study showed that the high dose FO treatment did not imbalance the rigorous docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n3) homeostasis in the retina and RPE in the three-month-old female B6/SLJ mice. Instead, we have found the significant increase in the expression of Mfsd2a, the main DHA transporter. Mfsd2a is also an essential regulator of blood vessel transcytosis and the decrease in Mfsd2a expression can be a risk factor for developing leaky blood vessels. Therefore, the high-dose FO supplementation emerges as the prophylactic fortifier of the retinal blood vessels.

AB  - A potential relationship between unrestricted sucrose intake (USI), overweight, and emotional/behavioral control has not been well documented. We examined the influence of USI and having less sweetness than expected on body weight (BW), motor/exploratory, anxiety-like, and social dominant behavior in adult C57BL/6J male mice. Animals had free access to water (group 1) or 32% sucrose and water (sucrose groups 2–5) for 10 days. Then, group 2 remained with 32% sucrose while groups 3–5 were subjected to the downshift (24 h access to 4%, 8%, or 16% sucrose). All experimental groups were weighed and tested in the novel-open arena (NA), elevated plus maze (EPM), and tube tests to assess BW, motor/exploratory, anxiety-like, and social dominance behavior, respectively. USI did not influence animals’ BW but produced hyperactivity and anxiolytic-like behavior, which was evident in EPM but not in NA; the outcomes of the downshift were comparable. USI did not influence successes/wins in the tube test but altered emotions that drive the winning, favoring a less anxious behavioral phenotype; this was not evident in the downshifted groups. Observed findings suggest that USI promotes sensation-seeking and motivates dominance, without changing BW, while blunted emotional base of social dominance might be an early mark of the downshift.

AB  - Aim: The objective was to formulate and characterize the nanoemulsion based on Cymbopogon citratus oil, intended for use in infected teeth root canal therapy. The investigation of the antioxidant and antibiofilm potential toward Enterococcus faecalis was aimed as well. Materials & methods: Characterization of oil (by GC/MS analysis) and nanoemulsion (by dynamic light scattering instrument), and determination of antibacterial (by microdilution assay), antibiofilm (by crystal violet assay) and antioxidant properties (by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate and thiobarbituric acid assay methods) were provided. Antibiofilm efficacy of irrigation procedure including nanoemulsion was screened on extracted teeth (by CFU-counting assay). Results: Notable antibacterial and antibiofilm activity, both against forming and preformed biofilms of oil, was observed. Irrigation involved nanoemulsion showed remarkable antibiofilm potential. Both substances induced some antioxidant activity. Conclusion: Results encourage further research with the aim of application of the nanoemulsion in dental practice.

AB  - The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of different radiopacifiers on the physicochemical and biological properties of novel calcium silicate based endodontic ceramic enriched with bioactive nano-particulated hydroxyapatite – ECHA. Namely, ECHA was used as a basis for mixing with the following radiopacifiers: strontium fluoride (SrF2), zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) and bismuth oxide (Bi2O3). For comparison, Portland cement (PC) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) were used. The following physicochemical characteristics were examined: the radiopacity, setting time, compressive strength, porosity, wettability and pH value. The biocompatibility of the cements was assessed by crystal violet, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and cell adhesion assays. The highest radiopacity was obtained for the ECHA + Bi2O3 mixture and MTA that were statistically significant in comparison to other materials (p < 0.05). Both initial and final setting times as well as compressive strengths were statistically lower for experimental cements than for PC and MTA (p < 0.05). The lowest total porosity was observed in the ECHA + ZrO2 group when compared with the other two experimental cements (p < 0.05), but not when compared with PC and MTA (p > 0.05). Experimental cements exhibited statistically higher contact angles of glycerol than PC and MTA (p < 0.05). For blood plasma, a statistical difference was found only between ECHA + Bi2O3 and PC (p < 0.05). All investigated materials had alkalization ability. Cell viability assays revealed that the extracts of tested cements did not exhibit cytotoxic effect on L929 cells. Scanning electron microscopy had shown a high degree of cell proliferation and adhesion of cells from apical papilla on experimental cements’ surfaces. Novel endodontic ceramics with nano-hydroxyapatite addition have satisfactory biological and physicochemical properties when compared to MTA and PC controls. Considerable lower setting time of experimental cements might present a huge advantage of these synthesized materials in clinical practice. SrF2 presents a novel promising radiopacifying agent for dental cements manufacturing.

AB  - We investigated the ability of graphene quantum dot (GQD) nanoparticles to protect SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells from oxidative/nitrosative stress induced by iron-nitrosyl complex sodium nitroprusside (SNP).GQD reduced SNP cytotoxicity by preventing mitochondrial depolarization, caspase-2 activation, and subsequent apoptotic death. Although GQD diminished the levels of nitric oxide (NO) in SNP-exposed cells, NO scavengers displayed only a slight protective effect, suggesting that NO quenching was not the main protective mechanism of GQD. GQD also reduced SNP-triggered increase in the intracellular levels of hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxide anion (O2•- ), and lipid peroxidation. Nonselective antioxidants, •OH scavenging, and iron chelators, but not superoxide dismutase, mimicked GQD cytoprotective activity, indicating that GQD protect cells by neutralizing •OH generated in the presence of SNP-released iron. Cellular internalization of GQD was required for optimal protection, since a removal of extracellular GQD by extensive washing only partly diminished their protective effect. Moreover, GQD cooperated with SNP to induce autophagy, as confirmed by the inhibition of autophagylimiting Akt/PRAS40/mTOR signaling and increase in autophagy gene transcription, protein levels of proautophagic beclin-1 and LC3-II, formation of autophagic vesicles, and degradation of autophagic target p62. The antioxidant activity of GQD was not involved in autophagy induction, as antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and dimethyl sulfoxide failed to stimulate autophagy in SNP-exposed cells. Pharmacological inhibitors of early (wortmannin, 3-methyladenine) or late stages of autophagy (NH4Cl) efficiently reduced the protective effect of GQD. Therefore, the ability of GQD to prevent the in vitro neurotoxicity of SNP depends on both •OH/NO scavenging and induction of cytoprotective autophagy.

AB  - The study aimed to investigate the potency of Leptospermum petersonii, Eucalyptus citriodora, Pelargonium graveolens, and Pelargonium roseum essential oils (EOs) against Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus salivarius dental isolates. To examine the variation in sensitivity among strains of different origin, isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic root canal infections, as well as the reference, strains S. sanguinis ATCC 10556 and S. salivarius ATCC 9222 were used in the study. EOs were chemically characterised (GC/MS). Their antibacterial and antibiofilm properties were detected by microdilution and CV assay respectively. Statistical analysis was performed by One way ANOVA. Examined bacterial strains, regardless clinical or ATCC, exhibited the highest sensitivity to L. petersonii and E. citriodora EOs (MIC ranged 0.53±0.00 - 5.88±1.27 mg/ml and 0.08±0.03 - 9.37±1.25 mg/ml respectively), while two other EOs were less efficient. Comparison of MIC values showed that sensitivity of the isolates recovered from symptomatic infections was the least, while the susceptibility of asymptomatic isolates and especially of reference strains were higher. EO inhibition of biofilm formation differed between clinical isolates of S. salivarius and their reference strain. Inhibition was higher in the case of S. salivarius ATCC 9222 (84 %-89 %) in comparison to that of clinical isolates (24 %-75 %). Regardless of the strains tested, E. citriodora exhibited the highest antibiofilm potential. To conclude: L. petersonii induced notable antibacterial potential, while E. citriodora EO proved promising antibacterial and antibiofilm activity. Due to the variable sensitivity of the isolates to EOs, it is suggested to screen activity on a large number of strains, especially from symptomatic infections.

AB  - Soy isoflavone genistein (Gen) exerts beneficial effects against prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. However, its use as a chemoprevention/therapeutic agent is largely limited due to its low bioavailability. In this study we synthesized two variants of a new delivery system, genistein–gold nanoparticles conjugates Gen@AuNPs1 and Gen@AuNPs2, by an environmentally friendly method, using a dual role of Gen to reduce Au3+ and stabilize the formed AuNPs, with no additional component. The formation of Gen@AuNPs was confirmed via UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, and Raman spectra measurements. The spherical shape and uniform size of Gen@AuNPs1 and Gen@AuNPs2 (10 ± 2 and 23 ± 3 nm, respectively), were determined by transmission electron microscopy. The nano-conjugates also varied in hydrodynamic diameter (65.0 ± 1.7 and 153.0 ± 2.2 nm) but had similar negative zeta potential (−35.0 ± 2.5 and −37.0 ± 1.6 mV), as measured by dynamic light scattering. The Gen loading was estimated to be 46 and 48%, for Gen@AuNPs1 and Gen@AuNPs2, respectively. The antiproliferative activities of GenAuNPs were confirmed by MTT test in vitro on three malignant prostate carcinoma cell lines (PC3, DU 145, and LNCaP), while selectivity toward malignant phenotype was confirmed using non-cancerous MRC-5 cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the inhibition on cell proliferation of more potent Gen@AuNPs1 nano-conjugate is comparable with the effects of free Gen. In conclusion, the obtained results, including physicochemical characterization of newly synthesized AuNPs loaded with Gen, cytotoxicity, and IC50 assessments, indicate their stability and bioactivity as an antioxidant and anti-prostate cancer agent, with low toxicity against human primary cells. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype and is associated with high recurrence rates, high incidence of distant metastases, and poor overall survival. The aim of this study was to investigate the PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR pathway as one of the most frequently deregulated pathways in cancer. We aimed to explore the impact of PI3K and mTOR oncogenes as well as the PTEN tumor suppressor on TNBC clinical behavior, prognosis, and multidrug resistance (MDR), using immunohistochemistry and copy number analysis by quantitative real-time PCR. Our results revealed that loss of PTEN and high expression of PI3K and mTOR proteins are associated with poor outcome of TNBC patients. PTEN deletions appeared as a major cause of reduced or absent PTEN expression in TNBC. Importantly, homozygous deletions of PTEN (and not hemizygous deletions) are a potential molecular marker of metastasis formation and good predictors of TNBC outcome. In conclusion, we believe that concurrent examination of PTEN/PI3K/mTOR protein expression may be more useful in predicting TNBC clinical course than the analysis of single protein expression. Specifically, our results showed that PTEN-reduced/PI3K-high/mTOR-high expression constitutes a 'high risk' profile of TNBC.

AB  - Thioacetamide (TAA) is widely used to study liver toxicity accompanied by oxidative stress, inflammation, cell necrosis, fibrosis, cholestasis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. As an efficient free radical’s scavenger, C60 fullerene is considered a potential liver-protective agent in chemically-induced liver injury. In the present work, we examined the hepatoprotective effects of two C60 doses dissolved in virgin olive oil against TAA-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. We showed that TAA-induced increase in liver oxidative stress, judged by the changes in the activities of SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, GST, the content of GSH and 4-HNE, and expression of HO-1, MnSOD, and CuZnSOD, was more effectively ameliorated with a lower C60 dose. Improvement in liver antioxidative status caused by C60 was accompanied by a decrease in liver HMGB1 expression and an increase in nuclear Nrf2/NF-κB p65 ratio, suggesting a reduction in inflammation, necrosis and fibrosis. These results were in accordance with liver histology analysis, liver comet assay, and changes in serum levels of ALT, AST, and AP. The changes observed in gut microbiome support detrimental effects of TAA and hepatoprotective effects of low C60 dose. Less protective effects of a higher C60 dose could be a consequence of its enhanced aggregation and related pro-oxidant role.

AB  - Pumpkin seed oil (PSO) possesses a protective potential against liver injury due to the presence of biologically active ingredients. Adult male albino rats were administrated PSO (per os, 2 mL/kg b.w./day) and a 12% ethanol solution in water, ad libitum, with an average intake of 8.14 g of ethanol/kg bw/day for 6 weeks. Congestion, hepatic central vein dilation, portal vein branch dilation, Kupffer cell hyperplasia, fatty liver changes, hepatocyte focal necrosis were observed after daily alcohol intake. All observed changes were reduced when PSO was ingested with ethanol. PSO intake itself induced discrete cellular edema, congestion and slight dilatation of the central and portal vain branches. Chronic ethanol intake elevated catalase (CAT) activity and glutathione reductase (GR) protein expression; concomitant PSO intake had no effect on CAT activity or GR protein expression. PSO intake decreased the activities of GR, glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and xanthine oxidase (XOD) in the liver, probably due to the ingestion of antioxidants. Intake of PSO and ethanol significantly decreased cytosolic superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and increased NF-?B protein expression compared to ethanol intake, suggesting that the protective effects of PSO were mediated by the NF-?B signaling pathway. Our results reveal a therapeutic potential of PSO in alcoholic liver disease.

AB  - Medicinal plant Gentiana lutea is considered as an official drug for gastrointestinal disorders in many pharmacopoeias. Its uncontrolled overexploitation led to the protection regime and encouraged development of in vitro culture. The aim of this work was to chemically characterize root and leaf methanol extracts of plant grown in plantation and in vitro conditions, and to determine their antigenotoxicity against heterocyclic aromatic amines IQ and PhIP, the food-borne mutagens that are formed during high temperature cooking of protein-reach foods. High yields and growth ratios were determined for in vitro plants. Higher content of polyphenols and flavonoids were determined in aerial parts, while UPLC-MS/MS analysis pointed at the richness of in vitro grown shoot extract (GLvS) in active constituents, and high amounts of gentiopicroside in all tested extracts. Notable amounts of sweroside were detected in plantation root extract (GLR) and in GLvS, and of loganic acid in plantation leaf extract (GLL) and GLvS. Two experimental models for genotoxicity/antigenotoxicity study, i.e. SOS/umuC test with metabolic activation (addition of rat liver S9 fraction) and alkaline comet assay on hepatocellur carcinoma HepG2 cells indicated dual effects: genotoxic of high and antigenotoxic of lower non-genotoxic doses. While in vitro extracts were genotoxic in both models, plantation extracts were active only in SOS/umuC with S9. In contrast, inhibition of genotoxicity was observed in both models for all extracts (up to 83 %). Results of DPPH assay indicated that antioxidativity could be responsible for antigenotoxic properties. In conclusion, genoprotective effect encourages further investigation of antigenotoxicity, while high growth ratio and richness of GLvS in active compounds justify the use of in vitro cultivation method.
