Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor Based on Horseradish Peroxidase Combined with CaCO_3 Microspheres and Gold Nanoparticles

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of horseradish peroxidase（HRP） were achieved by entrapping the enzyme between CaCO3 microspheres and gold nanoparticles through forming sandwich configuration （CaCO3-HRP-AuNPs）. Polyanion, poly（styrene sulfonate）（PSS）, was hybrid with CaCO3 microspheres to increase the surface negative charges for binding with HRP through electrostatic interaction. After the bioconjugate CaCO3 PSS-HRP was entrapped in chitosan based sol-gel（CS-GPTMS） film, HRP was encapsulated by in situ formation of an outer layer of AuNPs through electrochemical reduction of HAuCl4. The composite film containing AuNPs, CaCO3-PSS-HRP bioconjugates and CS-GPTMS can provide favorable microenvironment for HRP to perform direct electron transfer at glassy carbon electrode（GCE）. HRP retained its bioelectrocatalytic activity and lead to sensitive and fast amperometric response for the determination of H2O2. H2O2 could be detected in a very wide linear range from 5.0×10-6 mol/L to 7.1×10-2 mol/L. The sandwich configuration of CaCO3-biomolecules-AuNPs could serve as a versatile platform for enzyme immobilization and biosensing.

Effects of different valences of cerium ion on conformation of Horseradish Peroxidase

Our previous studies demonstrated that Ce^4＋could induce reactive oxygen species （ROS） burst as a signal to promote pacilitaxel biosynthesis in suspension cultured Taxus cuspidate cells. To further understand the mechanism of cerium ions inducing ROS burst, circular dichroism （CD）, synchronous fluorescence, and electron paramagnetic resonance （EPR） were used to detect them inducing conformational change of horseradish peroxidase （HRP）. Horseradish peroxidase activity was reduced by 78% by 0.1 mmol/L Ce^4＋, whereas it was only reduced by 28% by 0.1 mmol/L Ce^3＋. Circular dichroism spectra showed that the percentage of transition from helical content and other structure to β strands and flturns was 23.1 when induced by Ce^4＋, whereas it was only 13.2 when induced by Ce^3＋. In synchronous fluorescence spectra, Ce^4＋ led to red shift and intensity-elevation of tryptophan fluorescence emission maximum, whereas in the case of Ce^3＋, the results were a contrast to the above. Furthermore, g factor （gx and gy） in electron paramagnetic resonance （EPR） induced by Ce^4＋ and Ce^3＋ was significantly different. These results indicated that the different valence of cerium ion induced various conformations of HRP, and Ce^4＋ was more effective than Ce^3＋. This suggested that Ce^4＋ affected the burst of ROS through changing the conformation of oxidoreductase.

INHIBITION AND RADIATION SENSITIZING EFFECT OF INDOLEACETIC ACID COMBINED WITH HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE ON HELA CELLS

Objective To observe the inhibition and radiation-sensitizing effect of Indoleacetic acid (IAA) combined with horseradish peroxidase(HRP)on Hela cells. Methods Hela cells were cultured in vitro and classified into control group, drug group incubated with different doses of IAA(30, 60, 90μmol·L -1) plus 1.2μg·mL -1 HRP, radiation group (6MV-X, 4Gy ) and group of radiation plus IAA plus HRP(same dose as above). All the above were treated for 24-96 hours.The growth inhibition, radiation-sensitizing effect were observed with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) photocolorimetric assay and trypan blue dye assay. The-effect on cell proliferation cycle was determined by flow cytometry. Results The antiproliferation activities showed a significant time-effect and dose-effect relationship to some extent after Hela cells were treated with IAA combined with HRP. The group of radiation plus 60μmol·L -1 IAA plus 1.2μg·mL -1 HRP and radiation plus 90μmol·L -1 IAA plus 1.2μg·mL -1 HRP showed an obvious radiation sensitizing effect. After treatment with 90μmol·L -1 IAA plus 1.2 μg·mL -1 HRP for 72 hours, the determination of cell cycle showed that the percentages of the cells on stages G 2-M and S were all higher than those of the control group. For the group of radiation plus IAA combined with HRP, the percentages of the cells on stages G 2-M were higher than those of the radiation group. Conclusion The above findings suggest that IAA combined with HRP has an inhibitive and killing effect on Hela cells. The effect was stronger during the cell cycles of G 2-M and S. It also has a radiation sensitizing effect. Its mechanism might be that Hela cells were blocked on stages G 2-M, and it presents a collaborative killing effect during miototic time.

Apoptosis of pancreatic cancer BXPC-3 cells induced by indole-3-acetic acid in combination with horseradish peroxidase

AIM: To explore the mechanisms underlying the apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer BXPC-3 cells induced by indole-3-acetic acid (TAA) in combination with horseradish peroxidase (HRP).METHODS: BXPC-3 cells derived from human pancreatic cancer were exposed to 40 or 80 μmol/L IAA and 1.2 μg/mL HRP at different times. Then, MTT assay was used to detect the cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze cell cycle. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP nick end labeling assay was used to detect apoptosis. 2,7-Dichlorofluorescin diacetate uptake was measured by confocal microscopy to determine free radicals. Level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured by biochemical methods.RESULTS: IAA/HRP initiated growth inhibition of BXPC-3 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Flow cytometry revealed that the cells treated for 48 h were arrested at G1/G0. After exposure to 80 μmol/L IAA plus 1.2 μg/mL HRP for 72 h, the apoptosis rate increased to 72.5‰,which was nine times that of control. Content of MDA and activity of SOD increased respectively after treatment compared to control. Meanwhile, IAA/HRP stimulated the formation of free radicals.CONCLUSION: The combination of IAA and HRP can inhibit the growth of human pancreatic cancer BXPC-3 cells in vitro by inducing apoptosis.

Nitration of Phenol Catalyzed by Horseradish Peroxidase

Horseradish peroxidase, an acidic peroxidase from the horseradish, is one of the most important enzymes as analytical reagent. The enzymatic nitration of phenol by oxidation of nitrite was studied using horseradish peroxidase in the presence of H2O2. The results showed that nitration occur at 2- and 4- positions of phenol. There were also minor products of hydroquinone and catechol. The influence of various reaction parameters, including pH, organic solvent, and concentration of H2O2, on nitration products were discussed. The best nitration pH was 7.0, and H2O2 should be added to the reaction mixture slowly.

The difference of sensitivity to indole- 3-acetic acid （ IAA ） combined with horseradish peroxidase （HRP） in K562 and BXPC- 3 cells was investigated. The cell proliferation was determined by MTF assay. The cell cycle and apoptosis of K562 and BXPC-3 cells were examined by a fluorescence flow cytometer （FCM） and terminal deoxynacleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling （TUNEL） respectively. The experimental results show that IAA and HRP could inhibit BXPC- 3 cell proliferation greatly compared with K562 cell during the first 48 h . The cell cycle was arrested predominantly at G2/ M phase in K562 and BXPC- 3 cells. The cell apoptosis of K562 and BXPC- 3 was induced by IAA/ HRP. There was a significant difference between the two cell lines since BXPC-3 cells were more sensitive than K562 cells by treatments with combination of IAA and HRP.
