Investigations were carried out on a salt tolerant (Manak, H77-216) and a comparatively salt sensitive (ICPL 88039) genotypes of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) under NaCl, B and NaCl + B stress to examine the acclimatory response to H2O2, glutathione and H2O2 + glutathione through their effect on mineral nutrition, morpho-physiological parameters and antioxidant defense system. Both B and NaCl alone and their combinations had deleterious effect on dry biomass of plumule, enhanced relative stress injury (RSI), lipid peroxidation with concomitant increase in Na, Cl and B contents. However it did not bear any correlation with osmotic potential of plumule and K contents. Antioxidative enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), peroxidase (POX) and glutathione reductase (GR) also decreased with salt, B and salt + B treatments. However contents of H2O2 enhanced and that of ascorbate declined under aforementioned treatments. These injurious effects are partially alleviated by exogenous application of H2O2; glutathione (GSH) and H2O2 + GSH treatments. The role of H2O2 and GSH in the present study is suggestive of triggering multifunctional signal transduction in plant defense mechanisms to prevent cellular oxidation, membrane injury, lipid peroxidation and protein enzyme inactivation.

Due to the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME), current tumor treatments cannot achieve satisfactory results. A nanocomposite material, UCNPs@PVP-Hemin-GOx@CaCO (UPHGC NPs) is developed that responds to the TME and controls release to achieve multimodal synergistic therapy in tumor tissues. UPHGC NPs mediate photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and starvation therapy (ST) synergistically, ultimately inducing self-amplification of ferroptosis.

The main objectives of the present investigation were to elucidate the possible induction of antioxidant genes under the TiO NP-induced oxidative stress and the potential involvement of endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) in its antioxidant strategies in primary hepatocytes of air-breathing magur catfish (Clarias magur). As expected, exposure to TiO NPs led to (1) more ROS production as evidenced by a sharp rise of hydrogen peroxide (HO) and malonaldehyde (MDA) associated with cellular damage as evidenced by the increase of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage from hepatocytes, (2) induction of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), followed by induction of different glutathione-related genes such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and thioredoxin glutathione reductase (TGR) with the induction of activities of corresponding enzymes, and (3) more production of NO associated with induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity and its corresponding gene. However, inhibition of NO production in primary hepatocytes using certain inhibitors in the presence of TiO NPs, resulted in (1) more generation of HO and MDA, (2) inhibition of SOD and CAT genes expression in primary hepatocytes with more leakage of LDH leakage into the culture media.

Natural enzymes, despite their superior catalytic proficiency, are frequently constrained by their environmental sensitivity and the intricacies associated with their extraction and preservation. Consequently, there has been a significant impetus in the scientific community to develop robust, economical, and accessible enzyme mimics. In this context, transition metal borides have risen to prominence as auspicious contenders, capitalizing on their distinctive electronic and catalytic attributes to replicate the functionalities of natural enzymes.

Diabetic wounds are highly prone to persistent pathogenic infections due to the complex nature of their microenvironment, which significantly hinders the healing process under hyperglycemic conditions. In this study, we developed a bio-heterojunction enzyme system consisting of hollow CeO/TiCT MXene quantum dots (CeO@MQD) integrated with glucose oxidase (GOx-CeO@MQD). The GOx-CeO@MQD system exhibits multifunctional enzymatic activities, including peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT)-like activity, resulting in the production of •OH and O, alongside the consumption of glucose and glutathione (GSH).
