ABSTRACT

Research paper thumbnail of VIP potentiates retinoic-acid effect on tissue transglutaminase activity in human neuroblastoma, the SK-N-SH cells

The comparison between both differentiation and cell death related to tissue transglutaminase was discussed in this model. VIP alone was a potent differentiating agent in SK-N-SH cells but in the presence of retinoic acid (RA), this peptide rather potentiates RA-induced tTG activity which is now considered as an apoptosis marker in neuroblastoma cell line. This paper demonstrated an additional neuromodulator role for VIP.

ABSTRACT

Research paper thumbnail of Chiral capillary electrophoretic determination of the enantiomeric purity of homocamptothecin derivatives, promising antitumor topoisomerase I inhibitors, using highly sulfated CDs and fluorescence detection

Electrophoresis, Dec 1, 2006

EKC methods for the enantiomeric resolution of homocamptothecin derivatives, potent anticancer ag... more EKC methods for the enantiomeric resolution of homocamptothecin derivatives, potent anticancer agents targeting DNA topoisomerase I selected for clinical trials, were developed using highly sulfated beta-CD as chiral selectors at acidic pH. Optimal electrophoretic conditions, with migration times under 15 min, were as follows: for the neutral homocamptothecin analog 1, a BGE of 75 mM phosphate buffer pH 2.5 (H(3)PO(4) + triethanolamine)/ACN - 95/5 v/v, with 7.5% w/v highly S-beta-CD, an applied field of 0.2 kV/cm and a fused capillary temperature control of 30 +/- 0.1 degrees C (typical current approximately 175 microA); for the cationic homocamptothecin 2, a BGE of 25 mM phosphate buffer pH 2.5 (H(3)PO(4) + TEA)/ACN - 90/10 v/v, with 2.5% w/v highly S-beta-CD, an applied field of 0.15 kV/cm and a fused capillary temperature control of 25 +/- 0.1 degrees C (typical current approximately 45 muA), and both are validated. The best results in terms of LOQ were obtained by EC with fluorescence detection: 10 ng/mL and 20 ng/mL for 1 and 2, respectively (LOQ divided by 150 for 1 and 5 for 2 with respect to UV), thus making this method particularly convenient for enantiomeric purity determination of galenic forms. UV detection appears to be an alternative to fluorescence for the analysis of the main component either for the control of galenic forms or for therapeutic adaptation. Moreover, this method exhibits better performances than HPLC.

The molecular structures of 1, 3 and 4 were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Gibbs free energy of the two examples of the two types of complexes (1 and 3) and bonding order in their single-crystals were discussed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The compounds were further evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against several cancerous and HEK-293 T noncancerous cell lines, and the results indicate that B-type complexes show stronger cytotoxicity than A-type complexes. Furthermore, the interactions of the compounds with DNA were investigated by electrophoretic mobility spectrometry studies.

Methods: The quantification of the BPT derivative and the identification of metabolites in the plasma of Wistar rats after i.p. and oral administration of 10 mg/kg were performed by the HPLC-mass spectrometry method. Results: Following a single i.p. dose of the BPT derivative, the plasma concentrations showed a biexponential decay (with a rapid decline) followed by a slow decay with a terminal half-life of 77.90 min. The area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞) was 18.90 µg/ml·min. After oral administration, the plasmatic concentrations reached a peak of 0.06 μg/ml at 35 min and then decayed with a half-life of 108 min. The AUC0-∞ was 10.25 µg/ml·min, representing 54.2% of the relative bioavailability. The compound was well distributed in the body, and its elimination seemed to be fast, regardless of the administration route. The major metabolic pathways were demethylation and hydroxylation reactions, both followed by conjugation with glucuronic acid. Conclusion: In rats, the BPT derivative is well distributed and undergoes extensive metabolism, leading to several metabolites. With promising in vitro activity and very good oral bioavailability, this compound seems to be an attractive candidate for further development as an anticancer agent.

Research paper thumbnail of A new vasoactive intestinal peptide antagonist discriminates VIP receptors on guinea pig trachea and human neuroblastoma cells

In order to gain an understanding of the effect of this alpha helix on receptor binding and stimulation, a human VIP analog has been designed in which the residues 12 to 19 were replaced by a spacer of the same length, (gamma-aminobutyryl)2. This peptide altered neither the basal guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle tonus nor the VIP-induced relaxation. Conversely, the VIP analog was found to displace VIP from its binding sites on LA-N-2 human neuroblastoma cells (VIP IC50: 5.4 nM; VIP analog IC50: 52.2 nM) and to inhibit the VIP-induced cyclic AMP production of 58 +/- 15% at 1 microM and 95 +/- 2% at 10 microM. It seems that the alpha helix structure might only play the role of a spacer holding the important residues, at the N- and C-ends, respectively, at an appropriate distance. In the VIP analog structure, the (gamma-aminobutyryl)2 chain introduced in place of the alpha helix plays the role of adequate spacer to bind the LA-N-2 receptors but probably does not induce the active conformation for receptor stimulation. The lack of VIP analog effects on the tracheal receptors related to relaxation argues for a possible heterogeneity of VIP receptors on a pharmacological basis.

Modifications in the nature of the carbamate function increased the selectivity for the NK 1 receptor, whereas the inclusion of the indole moiety in β-carboline or carbazole rings decreased the affinity for both receptors. Free indolylmethyl and Cbz carbamate groups were shown to be essential for NK 2 affinity.

Since BA alterations are associated with obesity and insulin resistance, plasma BAs have been considered candidates to predict type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. We aimed to determine (1) the association of BAs with glucose homeostasis parameters and (2) their predictive association with the risk of conversion from prediabetes to new-onset diabetes (NOD) in a prospective cohort study. Design: 205 patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) were followed each year during 5 years in the IT-DIAB cohort study. Twenty-one BA species and 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4), a marker of BA synthesis, were quantified by LC/MS-MS in plasma from fasted patients at baseline. Correlations between plasma BA species and metabolic parameters at baseline were assessed by Spearman's coefficients and the association between BAs and NOD was determined using Cox proportional-hazards models. Results: Among the analyzed BA species, total hyocholic acid (HCA) and the total HCA/total chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) ratio, reflecting hepatic BA 6α-hydroxylation activity, negatively correlated with BMI and HOMA-IR. The total HCA/total CDCA ratio also correlated negatively with HbA 1C. Conversion from IFG to NOD occurred in 33.7% of the participants during the follow-up. Plasma BA species were not independently associated with the conversion to NOD after adjustment with classical T2D risk factors. Conclusions: Fasting plasma BAs are not useful clinical biomarkers for predicting NOD in patients with IFG. However, an unexpected association between 6α-hydroxylated BAs and glucose parameters was found, suggesting a role for this specific BA pathway in metabolic homeostasis. IT-DIAB study registry number: NCT01218061.

Research paper thumbnail of Antagonistic effect of a vasoactive intestinal peptide fragment, vasoactive intestinal peptide(1-11), on guinea pig trachea smooth muscle relaxation

PubMed, 1992

VIP(1-11) inhibits 125I-VIP binding to intact guinea pig tracheal epithelial cells and the VIP-induced smooth muscle response. However, the endecapeptide exhibits no effect on the muscle tone. All these data suggest that VIP(1-11) may be a useful tool in studying VIP receptor recognition, its regulation, and cellular functions.

Research paper thumbnail of Slaughterhouse By-Product Valorization: Hydrolysis Degree Modification for Higher Antimicrobial Recovery by Electroseparation

However, depending on the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of the bovine hemoglobin, the TSKYR peptide environment into the hydrolysate will be different and would impact its recovery yield by electrodialysis with ultrafiltration membranes (EDUF), a hybrid and eco-friendly technology. In this context, five DHs (3, 5, 10, 13 and 18%) were investigated to study the influence of the peptide populations on the α137-141 selective separation by EDUF. It appeared from these results that the most appropriate DH was of 5% since a lower population of peptides between 500 and 1000 Da was present and the subunits of hemoglobin were already digested. Hence, an enrichment factor of about 13 folds for the α137-141 was obtained in comparison with the initial hydrolysate. At our knowledge, it was the first time that the effect of the hydrolysis degree of a protein is demonstrated to impact preferentially the separation of a specific peptide by EDUF.

However, an unexpected association between 6α-hydroxylated BAs and glucose parameters was found, suggesting a role for this specific BA pathway in metabolic homeostasis.

Discussion La rapidité et la concordance des réponses des mycologues pour l'identification des champignons impliqués dans les intoxications est une plus-value pour la prise en charge du patient par le médecin. Lorsque la Mycoliste était sollicitée pour des cas d'expositions d'enfants, la gravité des cas était plus fréquemment de PSS0 car il s'agissait d'enfants ayant ingéré un petit morceau de champignon. Pour les adultes, la Mycoliste a été plus fréquemment sollicitée pour des intoxications modérées ou sévères afin de corréler le toxidrome à l'espèce en cause. Cette Mycoliste permettra probablement à terme d'améliorer la connaissance de la toxicité humaine des champignons. Remerciements Nous remercions l'ensemble des mycologues participant à la Mycoliste sans lesquels ce travail n'aurait pas été possible.

VIP(1-11) inhibits 125I-VIP binding to intact guinea pig tracheal epithelial cells and the VIP-induced smooth muscle response. However, the endecapeptide exhibits no effect on the muscle tone. All these data suggest that VIP(1-11) may be a useful tool in studying VIP receptor recognition, its regulation, and cellular functions.

However, depending on the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of the bovine hemoglobin, the TSKYR peptide environment into the hydrolysate will be different and would impact its recovery yield by electrodialysis with ultrafiltration membranes (EDUF), a hybrid and eco-friendly technology. In this context, five DHs (3, 5, 10, 13 and 18%) were investigated to study the influence of the peptide populations on the α137-141 selective separation by EDUF. It appeared from these results that the most appropriate DH was of 5% since a lower population of peptides between 500 and 1000 Da was present and the subunits of hemoglobin were already digested. Hence, an enrichment factor of about 13 folds for the α137-141 was obtained in comparison with the initial hydrolysate. At our knowledge, it was the first time that the effect of the hydrolysis degree of a protein is demonstrated to impact preferentially the separation of a specific peptide by EDUF.
