Unlabelled: Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) suppress inflammation by reducing polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) recruitment to the affected organs. We investigated modulation of PMN-endothelial cell adhesive interactions by water-soluble CORM-401 using an experimental model of endotoxemia in vitro. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) grown on laminar-flow perfusion channels were stimulated with 1 μg/mL lipopolysaccharide for 6 hours and perfused with 100 μmol/L CORM-401 (or inactive compound iCORM-401)-pretreated PMN for 5 minutes in the presence of 1.0 dyn/cm shear stress.
Huvec: PMN co-cultures were perfused for additional 15 minutes with PMN-free medium containing CORM-401/inactive CORM-401. The experiments were videorecorded (phase-contrast microscopy), and PMN adhesion/migration were assessed off-line. In parallel, CORM-401-dependent modulation of PMN chemotaxis, F-actin expression/distribution, and actin-regulating pathways [eg, p21-activated protein kinases (PAK1/2) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/C-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)] were assessed in response to N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) stimulation. Pretreating PMN with CORM-401 did not suppress PMN adhesion to HUVEC, but significantly reduced PMN transendothelial migration (P < 0.0001) and fMLP-induced PMN chemotaxis (ie, migration directionality and velocity). These changes were associated with CORM-401-dependent suppression of F-actin levels/cellular distribution and fMLP-induced phosphorylation of PAK1/2 and ERK/JNK MAPK (P < 0.05). CORM-401 had no effect on p38 MAPK activation. In summary, this study demonstrates, for the first time, CORM-401-dependent suppression of neutrophil migratory potential associated with modulation of PAK1/2 and ERK/JNK MAPK signaling and F-actin dynamics.

Medical catheters are susceptible to biological contamination and pathogen invasion, leading to infection and inflammatory complications. The development of antimicrobial coatings for medical devices has emerged as a promising strategy. However, limited biological functionality and the incompatibility between bactericidal properties and biosafety remain great challenges.

Flavonoids are naturally occurring compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods, and they are known for their health benefits, such as UV protection, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative properties. This study investigates whether flavonoids, such as quercetin and 2,3-dehydrosilybin, can act as photoactivatable carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules under physiological conditions. CO has been recently recognized as an important signaling molecule.

Over the last two decades, manganese(I) carbonyl complexes have been widely investigated as carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) to transfer small quantities of CO to biological targets to have beneficial impacts such as preventing ischemia reperfusion injury and reducing organ transplant rejection. Furthermore, these complexes exhibit beneficial anti-coagulative, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative properties. Owing to their highly controlled substitution chemistry and oxidative durability, Mn(I) carbonyl moieties were combined with a wide range of auxiliary ligands, including biomolecules.

The prevalence of cancer is increasing steadily over the past few decades due to social and environmental factors. Several drugs and medications have also been reported, but with inevitable side effects. Herein comes the urgent need for the development of precision medicine, which increases the efficiency of the drug on the target tissue and minimizes systemic toxicity and non-specificity.
