ZNT1 Involves Cuproptosis through Regulating MTF1-conduced Expression of MT1X under Copper Overload

Industrial activities such as smelting emissions,mineral combustion and industrial wastewater discharge might lead to copper pollution in the environment.This kind of copper pollution has harmful effects on aquatic o rganisms,plants and animals through direct or indirect exposure.However,the current understanding of the toxicity of copper is rather limited.Copper overload can perturb intracellular homeostasis and induce oxidative stress and e ven cell death.Recently,cuproptosis has been identified as a copper-dependent form of cell death induced by o xidative stress in mitochondria.We uncover here that zinc transporter 1(ZNT1)is an important regulator involved in cuproptosis.Firstly,we established the copper overload-induced cell death model with the overexpression of copper importer SLC31A1 in HeLa cells.Using this model,we conducted unbiased genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens in cells treated with copper.Our results revealed a significant enrichment of ZNT1 gene in both library A and library B plasmids.Knocking out of ZNT1 in HeLa cells notably prevented cuproptosis.Subsequent knockout of metal transcription factor 1(MTF1)in ZNT1-deficient cells nearly abolished their ability to resist copper-induced cell death.However,overexpression of metallothionein 1X(MT1X)in the double-knockout cells could p artially restored the resistance to cuproptosis by loss of MTF1.Mechanistically,knockout of ZNT1 could promote MT1X expression by activating MTF1.As a consequence,the interaction between MT1X and copper was e nhanced,reducing the flow of copper into mitochondria and eliminating mitochondria damage.Taken together,this study reveals the important role of ZNT1 in cuproptosis and shows MTF1-MT1X axis mediated resistance to c uproptosis.Moreover,our study will help to understand the regulatory mechanism of cellular and systemic copper homeostasis under copper overload,and present insights into novel treatments for damages caused by both genetic copper overload diseases and environmental copper contamination.

A Novel Method for Synthesizing p-Benzoquinone by Direct Catalytic Oxidation of Benzene with Hydrogen Peroxide over Copper-Doped TS-1

E xisting methods for synthesizing p -benzoquinone have drawbacks with respect to environmental protection, production scale, or industrial value. Therefore, it is imperative that a simple and environmentally friendly alternative be developed. The approach that involves preparing p -benzoquinone by the catalytic oxidation of benzene with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) over copper-modi ed titanium silicalite-1 (Cu/TS-1) has a certain superiority due to its green synthesis and mild reaction condi- tions. In this study, Cu/TS-1 catalyst was prepared by the wet impregnation of TS-1 with an aqueous solution of Cu(NO 3 ) 2 and then characterized by X-ray di raction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, di use re ectance UV Vis spectros- copy, scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray uorescence, and analysis of the N 2 adsorption desorption isotherms. The results reveal that Cu species exist mainly in the form of amorphous CuO that is well dispersed on the surface of catalysts, with no major change in the molecular sieve framework. After optimizing the reaction conditions, a desirable p -benzoquinone selectivity (88.4%) and benzene conversion (18.3%) were obtained when the doping of Cu in Cu/TS-1 is 1.95 wt%. In addition, Cu/TS-1 can be conveniently regenerated, showing a slight decrease in catalytic capability after initial use, which then stabilizes in subsequent circulations. The satisfactory stability and low cost of synthesizing Cu/TS-1 give this method considerable potential for further industrialization.

Investigation of Structural and Electronic Properties of [Tris(Benzene-1,2-Dithiolato)M]^3-(M = V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co) Complexes: A Spectroscopic and Density Functional Theoretical Study

In this study, the first raw transition metals from V to Co complexes with benzene-1,2-dithiolate (L2-) ligand have been studied theoretically to elucidate the geometry, electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of the complexes. Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) methods have been used. The ground state geometries, binding energies, spectral properties (UV-vis), frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) analysis, charge analysis and natural bond orbital (NBO) have been investigated. The geometrical parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental data. The metal-ligand binding energies are 1 order of magnitude larger than the physisorption energy of a benzene-1, 2-dthiolate molecule on a metallic surface. The electronic structures of the first raw transition metal series from V to Co have been elucidated by UV-vis spectroscopic using DFT calculations. In accordance with experiment the calculated electronic spectra of these tris complexes show bands at 522, 565, 559, 546 and 863 nm for V3+, Cr3+, Mn3+, Fe3+ and Co3+ respectively which are mainly attributed to ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) transitions. The electronic properties analysis shows that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is mainly centered on metal coordinated sulfur atoms whereas the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is mainly located on the metal surface. From calculation of intramolecular interactions and electron delocalization by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, the stability of the complexes was estimated. The NBO results showed significant charge transfer from sulfur to central metal ions in the complexes, as well as to the benzene. The calculated charges on metal ions are also reported at various charge schemes. The calculations show encouraging agreement with the available experimental data.

Combining Experimental and Quantum Chemical Study of 2-(5-Nitro-1,3-Dihydro Benzimidazol-2-Ylidene)-3-Oxo-3-(2-Oxo-2H-Chromen-3-yl) Propanenitrile as Copper Corrosion Inhibitor in Nitric Acid Solution

Due to acidic solutions aggressiveness, corrosion inhibitors use is considered to be one the most practical methods to delay metals dissolution in the said solutions. In this study benzimidazolyl derivative namely 2-cyanochalcones 2-(5-nitro-1,3-dihydrobenzimidazol-2-ylidene)-3-oxo-3-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl) propanenitrile which was synthesized was then applied as a corrosion inhibitor for copper in 1 M HNO3 solution. The inhibition action of this molecule was evaluated by gravimetric and density functional theory (DFT) methods. It was found experimentally that this compound has a better inhibition performance and its adsorption on copper surface follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm. This adsorption evolves with temperature and inhibitor concentration, it is endothermic and occurs spontaneously with an increase in disorder. Corrosion kinetic parameters analysis supported by Adejo-Ekwenchi model revealed the existence of both physisorption and chemisorption. DFT calculations related that compound adsorption on copper surface is due to its electron donating and accepting capacity. The reactive regions specifying the electrophilic and nucleophilic attack sites were analyzed using Fukui and dual descriptor functions. Experimental results obtained were compared with the theoretical findings.
