This report describes a new "lab-on-a-chip" protocol integrating on-line precolumn biocatalytic reactions of multiple (oxidase and dehydrogenase) enzymes and substrates with effective capillary electrophoresis microseparations and amperometric detection. The operation of the new oxidase/dehydrogenase reaction/separation microchip is illustrated for the simultaneous measurement of glucose and ethanol in connection to the corresponding glucose oxidase and alcohol dehydrogenase reactions, respectively. The enzymatic reactions generate hydrogen peroxide and NADH species that are separated (on the basis of their different charges) and detected amperometrically at the end-column thick-film detector. A driving voltage of 2000 V results in peroxide and NADH migration times of 74 and 230 s, respectively. Operating the gold-coated carbon detector at +1.0 V allows simultaneous anodic detection of both reaction products. Factors influencing the reaction, separation, and detection processes are examined and optimized. The applicability of the new multienzyme assay to wine samples is illustrated.

Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles that store and supply lipids based on cellular needs. While mechanisms preventing oxidative damage to membrane phospholipids are established, the vulnerability of LD neutral lipids to peroxidation and protective mechanisms are unknown. Here, we identify LD-localized Ferroptosis Suppressor Protein 1 (FSP1) as a critical regulator that prevents neutral lipid peroxidation by recycling coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to its lipophilic antioxidant form.

Cell membrane targeting sonodynamic therapy could induce the accumulation of lipid peroxidation (LPO), drive ferroptosis, and further enhances immunogenic cell death (ICD) effects. However, ferroptosis is restrained by the ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) at the plasma membrane, which can catalyze the regeneration of ubiquinone (CoQ10) by using NAD(P)H to suppress the LPO accumulation. This work describes the construction of US-active nanoparticles (TiF NPs), which combinate cell-membrane targeting sonosensitizer TBT-CQi with FSP1 inhibitor (iFSP1), facilitating cell-membrane targeting sonodynamic-triggered ferroptosis.

Studies have confirmed that elevated glucose levels could lead to renal fibrosis through the process of ferroptosis. Liraglutide, a human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, is a potential treatment option for diabetes. This study aimed to examine the potential of liraglutide (LIRA) in inhibiting ferroptosis and reducing high glucose-induced renal fibrotic injury in mice, and whether the Fsp1-CoQ10-NAD(P)H signal pathway is a mechanism for this effect.

Enzymatically formed side-chain oxysterols function as signaling molecules regulating cholesterol homeostasis and act as intermediates in the biosynthesis of bile acids. In addition to these physiological functions, an imbalance in oxysterol homeostasis has been implicated in pathophysiology. Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) and its product 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OHC), also formed by autoxidation, are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The cerebellum, a key target of ethanol's toxic effects, is associated with ataxia following alcohol consumption. However, the impact of ethanol on Purkinje cell (PC) mitochondria remains unclear. To investigate how ethanol administration affects mitochondrial dynamics in cerebellar Purkinje cells, we employed a transgenic mouse model expressing mitochondria-targeted yellow fluorescent protein in Purkinje cells (PC-mito-eYFP).
