Syntheses, characterization and biological activities of rare earth metal complexes with curcumin and 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione

Three new solid complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of rare earth(III) nitrate with the first ligand curcumin (HL) and the second ligand 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (L′) in alcohol solution (pH = 6.5-7.0). The composition of the complexes has been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, thermogravimetric analysis, IR, UV-vis methods. The results reveal that β-diketone group of the first ligand to coordinates with rare earth ions in bidentate mode after deprotonated. But the second ligand uses its two N atoms coordinates with rare earth ions in bidentate mode. The general formula of the complexes is REL₃L′ (RE = Sm, Eu, Dy). The results of antibacterial activity indicated that the complexes have excellent antibacterial ability for the testing bacterium than that of curcumin. The result of agarose gel electrophoresis suggested that the complex of SmL₃L′ can cleave the plasmid DNA at physiological pH and temperature. And it was found that the cleavage process of plasmid DNA was sensitive to pH, however, adding radical scavengers almost had no effect on the DNA cleavage reaction, therefore, the cleavage of DNA by SmL₃L′ does not produce diffusible hydroxyl radicals via the Fenton reaction.

Distinct effects of the UvrD helicase on topoisomerase-quinolone-DNA ternary complexes

Quinolone antibacterial drugs target both DNA gyrase (Gyr) and topoisomerase IV (Topo IV) and form topoisomerase-quinolone-DNA ternary complexes. The formation of ternary complexes results in the inhibition of DNA replication and leads to the generation of double-strand breaks and subsequent cell death. Here, we have studied the consequences of collisions between the UvrD helicase and the ternary complexes formed with either Gyr, Topo IV, or a mutant Gyr, Gyr (A59), which does not wrap the DNA strand around itself. We show (i) that Gyr-norfloxacin (Norf)-DNA and Topo IV-Norf-DNA, but not Gyr (A59)-Norf-DNA, ternary complexes inhibit the UvrD-catalyzed strand-displacement activity, (ii) that a single-strand break is generated at small portions of the ternary complexes upon their collisions with UvrD, and (iii) that the majority of Topo IV-Norf-DNA ternary complexes become nonreversible when UvrD collides with the Topo IV-Norf-DNA ternary complexes, whereas the majority of Gyr-Norf-DNA ternary complexes remain reversible after their collision with the UvrD helicase. These results indicated that different DNA repair mechanisms might be involved in the repair of Gyr-Norf-DNA and Topo IV-Norf-DNA ternary complexes.     

Fluorescence emission mechanism and fluorescence properties of ternary Tb(III) complex with diphenyl sulphoxide and bipyridine

A novel ternary complex, TbL₅L′(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O, two binary complexes, TbL₇(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O and TbL′_3.5(ClO₄)₃·4H₂O has been synthesized (using diphenyl sulphoxide as the first ligand L, bipyridine as the second ligand L′). Their composition was analysed by element analysis, coordination titration, IR spectra and ¹H‐NMR, and the fluorescence emission mechanism, fluorescence intensities and phosphorescence spectra were also investigated by comparison. It was shown that the ternary rare‐earth complex showed stronger fluorescence intensities than the binary rare‐earth complexes in such material. The strongest characteristic fluorescence emission intensity of the ternary system was 8.23 times, 3.58 times as strong as that of the binary systems TbL₇(ClO₄)₃·3H₂O and TbL′_3.5 (ClO₄)₃·4H₂O, respectively. By fluorescence analysis it was found that both diphenyl sulphoxide and bipyridine could sensitize the fluorescence intensities of rare‐earth ions. In particular, in the ternary rare‐earth complex, introduction of bipyridine was of benefit to the fluorescence properties of Tb(III). Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Interactions between DNA helicases and frozen topoisomerase IV-quinolone-DNA ternary complexes.

Collisions between replication forks and topoisomerase-drug-DNA ternary complexes result in the inhibition of DNA replication and the conversion of the normally reversible ternary complex to a nonreversible form. Ultimately, this can lead to the double strand break formation and subsequent cell death. To understand the molecular mechanisms of replication fork arrest by the ternary complexes, we have investigated molecular events during collisions between DNA helicases and topoisomerase-DNA complexes. A strand displacement assay was employed to assess the effect of topoisomerase IV (Topo IV)-norfloxacin-DNA ternary complexes on the DnaB, T7 gene 4 protein, SV40 T-antigen, and UvrD DNA helicases. The ternary complexes inhibited the strand displacement activities of these DNA helicases. Unlike replication fork arrest, however, this general inhibition of DNA helicases by Topo IV-norfloxacin-DNA ternary complexes did not require the cleavage and reunion activity of Topo IV. We also examined the reversibility of the ternary complexes after collisions with these DNA helicases. UvrD converted the ternary complex to a nonreversible form, whereas DnaB, T7 gene 4 protein, and SV40 T-antigen did not. These results suggest that the inhibition of DnaB translocation may be sufficient to arrest the replication fork progression but it is not sufficient to generate cytotoxic DNA lesion.     

DNA gyrase-mediated wrapping of the DNA strand is required for the replication fork arrest by the DNA gyrase-quinolone-DNA ternary complex

The ability of DNA gyrase (Gyr) to wrap the DNA strand around itself allows Gyr to introduce negative supercoils into DNA molecules. It has been demonstrated that the deletion of the C-terminal DNA-binding domain of the GyrA subunit abolishes the ability of Gyr to wrap the DNA strand and catalyze the supercoiling reaction (Kampranis, S. C., and Maxwell, A. (1996) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 93, 14416-14421). By using this mutant Gyr, Gyr (A59), we have studied effects of Gyr-mediated wrapping of the DNA strand on its replicative function and its interaction with the quinolone antibacterial drugs. We find that Gyr (A59) can support oriC DNA replication in vitro. However, Gyr (A59)-catalyzed decatenation activity is not efficient enough to complete the decatenation of replicating daughter DNA molecules. As is the case with topoisomerase IV, the active cleavage and reunion activity of Gyr is required for the formation of the ternary complex that can arrest replication fork progression in vitro. Although the quinolone drugs stimulate the covalent Gyr (A59)-DNA complex formation, the Gyr (A59)-quinolone-DNA ternary complexes do not arrest the progression of replication forks. Thus, the quinolone-induced covalent topoisomerase-DNA complex formation is necessary but not sufficient to cause the inhibition of DNA replication. We also assess the stability of ternary complexes formed with Gyr (A59), the wild type Gyr, or topoisomerase IV. The ternary complexes formed with Gyr (A59) are more sensitive to salt than those formed with either the wild type Gyr or topoisomerase IV. Furthermore, a competition experiment demonstrates that the ternary complexes formed with Gyr (A59) readily disassociate from the DNA, whereas the ternary complexes formed with either the wild type Gyr or topoisomerase IV remain stably bound. Thus, Gyr-mediated wrapping of the DNA strand is required for the formation of the stable Gyr-quinolone-DNA ternary complex that can arrest replication fork progression.     

Synthesis, characterization, antioxidative and antitumor activities of solid quercetin rare earth(III) complexes

Eight rare earth metal(II) complexes with quercetin ML3 x 6H2O [L=quercetin (3-OH group deprotonated); M = La, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Tm and Y] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, complexometric titration, thermal analysis, conductivity, IR, UV, 1HNMR and fluorescence spectra techniques as well as cyclic voltammetry. The quercetin:metal stoichiometry and the equilibrium stability constant for metal binding to quercetin have been determined. The antioxidative and antitumor activities of quercetin x 2H2O and the complexes were tested by both the MTT and SRB methods. The results show that the suppression ratio of the complexes against the tested tumour cells are superior to quercetin x 2H2O. The property of LaL3 x 6H2O reacting with calf thymus DNA was studied by fluorescence methods. The La-complex binding to DNA has been determined by fluorescence titration in 0.05 M Tris-HCl, 0.5 M NaCl buffer (pH 7.0). The results indicate that the interaction of the complex with DNA is very evident.     

Analysis of the interaction between the Saccharomyces cerevisiae MSH2-MSH6 and MLH1-PMS1 complexes with DNA using a reversible DNA end-blocking system

The Lac repressor-operator interaction was used as a reversible DNA end-blocking system in conjunction with an IAsys biosensor instrument (Thermo Affinity Sensors), which detects total internal reflectance and allows monitoring of binding and dissociation in real time, in order to develop a system for studying the ability of mismatch repair proteins to move along the DNA. The MSH2-MSH6 complex bound to a mispaired base was found to be converted by ATP binding to a form that showed rapid sliding along the DNA and dissociation via the DNA ends and also showed slow, direct dissociation from the DNA. In contrast, the MSH2-MSH6 complex bound to a base pair containing DNA only showed direct dissociation from the DNA. The MLH1-PMS1 complex formed both mispair-dependent and mispair-independent ternary complexes with the MSH2-MSH6 complex on DNA. The mispair-independent ternary complexes were formed most efficiently on DNA molecules with free ends under conditions where ATP hydrolysis did not occur, and only exhibited direct dissociation from the DNA. The mispair-dependent ternary complexes were formed in the highest yield on DNA molecules with blocked ends, required ATP and magnesium for formation, and showed both dissociation via the DNA ends and direct dissociation from the DNA.     

Effect of albumin and polyanion on the structure of DNA complexes with polycation containing hydrophilic nonionic block.

Self-assembling systems based on ionic complexes of DNA with block copolymer of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide with 2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl methacrylate were studied as systems suitable for gene delivery. In this study, the influence of albumin and polyanion on parameters of the DNA polyelectrolyte complexes in aqueous solutions was investigated. Static and dynamic light-scattering methods were used as a main tool for characterizing these interactions. It was found that albumin is not able to release free DNA, but it can rather bind to the complexes forming ternary DNA-polycation-albumin complexes with increased hydrodynamic radii of about 10 nm. Polyanion tested, sodium poly(styrenesulfonate), was able to release free DNA in the presence of a low-molecular-weight electrolyte. In the absence of a low-molecular-weight electrolyte, only formation of ternary complexes and no DNA release was observed. The in vivo biodistribution analysis of DNA complexes showed no effect of the presence of hydrophilic nonionic poly(HPMA) on the circulatory time or organ distribution. The interaction of DNA complexes with albumin and other plasma proteins was suggested to be a major reason for the short circulatory times.     

Dependence of the cellular internalization and transfection efficiency on the structure and physicochemical properties of cationic detergent/DNA/liposomes

BACKGROUND: Control of the structure and physicochemical properties of DNA complexed with nonviral vectors is essential for efficient biodistribution and gene delivery to cells. Cationic liposomes interact with DNA giving transfection competent but large and heterogeneous aggregates. On the other hand, cationic detergents condense DNA into small homogeneous but reversible complexes inefficient for transfection. METHODS: In order to combine the favorable features of both vectors, ternary complexes were prepared by adding cationic liposomes to plasmid DNA condensed by cationic detergents. The structure and physicochemical properties of these complexes were investigated by electron microscopy, quasi-elastic light scattering, gel electrophoresis and fluorescence techniques. These data were then correlated with the transfection efficiency and intracellular trafficking of the ternary complexes determined by luciferase gene expression and confocal microscopy, respectively. RESULTS: The ternary complexes were found to form small, homogeneous, globular, stable and positively charged particles with a highly dense and packed lamellar internal structure differing from the multilamellar structure (L(alpha)(C)) of the corresponding lipoplexes. In the presence of serum, the ternary complexes were more efficiently internalized into cells, less toxic and showed 20-fold higher transfection efficiency than lipoplexes. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that small, monodisperse and highly stable complexes could be obtained by precompaction of DNA with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, followed by addition of cationic lipids. The higher efficiency of the ternary complexes with respect to their corresponding lipoplexes was related to their internal structure which prevents their dissociation by serum proteins and allows efficient internalization in the target cells.
