Water structuring induced by Ectoine as a possible explanation for its protection against radiation

Ectoine induced water structuring as a possible explanation for its radiation protection properties
(2015)
Microorganisms accumulate molar concentrations of compatible solutes like ectoine to prevent proteins from denaturation. Direct structural or spectroscopic information on the mechanism and about the hydration shell around ectoine are scarce. We combined surface plasmon resonance (SPR), confocal Raman spectroscopy, molecular dynamics simulations, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the local hydration shell around ectoine and its influence on the binding of a gene-S-protein (G5P) to a single-stranded DNA (dT(25)). Due to the very high hygroscopicity of ectoine, it was possible to analyze the highly stable hydration shell by confocal Raman spectroscopy. Corresponding molecular dynamics simulation results revealed a significant change of the water dielectric constant in the presence of a high molar ectoine concentration as compared to pure water. The SPR data showed that the amount of protein bound to DNA decreases in the presence of ectoine, and hence, the protein-DNA dissociation constant increases in a concentration-dependent manner. Concomitantly, the Raman spectra in terms of the amide I region revealed large changes in the protein secondary structure. Our results indicate that ectoine strongly affects the molecular recognition between the protein and the oligonudeotide, which has important consequences for osmotic regulation mechanisms.
Radiation damage to DNA is one of the main causes for cancer and likewise a major tool in its treatment. One of the dogma of the classical radiochemistry and physics involves the opinion that radicals such as OH° produced by ionizing radiation are the most lethal agents. This scenario is increasingly disputed as secondary low-energy electrons are emerging [1] as important, if not predominant, reductive pathway in ionizing damage of biomolecules. These electrons are generated in copious amount in aqueous environment as secondary scattering products. But until now all research concerning the quantification of the effects of low energy electrons on the biomolecular damage was either performed in vacuum with low energy electron sources or with DNA plasmids on metallic surfaces in humid environment. In this work we present detailed experimental and simulation microdosimetry data on electron damage to plasmid DNA in liquid environment: Well-defined electron energy and dosage irradiation was achieve by using an EM and the irradiation through a nanomembrane. The results are analyzed in terms of single- and double-strand break probabilities in the dependence of dose, energy, number of primary and secondary electrons. The results are important not only from the basic scientific point of view but also for the development of effective radiosensitizers, either as protecting or enhancing (radiotherapy) cofactors.
In the last years, secondary low-energy electrons (LEE) emerged as important, if not predominant, reductive pathway in ionizing damage of biomolecules. These electrons are created in copious amount as result of inelastic scattering of high energy radiation at water. Until now, all experiments the quantification of the effects of LEEs on the biomolecular damage was either performed in vacuum with LEE sources or with DNA on surfaces in humid atmosphere.
We present a new experimental setup to irradiate biomolecules with electrons under physiological conditions. In combination with monte carlo simulations this setup makes it possible to determine microdosimetric quantities for biomolecules in liquid environment under electron irradiation.
This opens up new possibilities in radiation research to access the LEE damage under well defined physiological condition, for more complex systems, such as DNA-Protein complexes and even living cells.
Ectoine is an important osmolyte, which allows microorganisms to survive in extreme environmental salinity. The hygroscopic effects of ectoine in pure water can be explained by a strong water binding behavior whereas a study on the effects of ectoine in salty solution is yet missing. We provide Raman spectroscopic evidence that the influence of ectoine and NaCl are opposing and completely independent of each other. The effect can be explained by the formation of strongly hydrogen-bonded water molecules around ectoine which compensate the influence of the salt on the water dynamics. The mechanism is corroborated by first principles calculations and broadens our understanding of zwitterionic osmolytes in aqueous solution. Our findings allow us to provide a possible explanation for the relatively high osmolyte concentrations in halotolerant bacteria.
We report on a study in which plasmid DNA in water was irradiated with 30 keV electrons generated by a scanning electron microscope and passed through a 100 nm thick Si3N4 membrane. The corresponding Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the kinetic energy spectrum of the electrons throughout the water is dominated by low energy electrons (<100 eV). The DNA radiation damage, single-strand breaks (SSB) and double-strand breaks (DSB), was determined by electrophoresis. The median lethal dose of D1/2 = 1.7 ± 0.3 Gy was found to be much smaller compared to partially or fully hydrated DNA irradiated under vacuum conditions. The ratio of DSB to SSB was found to be (1:12) as compared to 1:88) found for hydrated DNA. Our method enables quantitative measurements of radiation damage to biomolecules (DNA, proteins) in solutions under varying conditions (pH, salinity, cosolutes) for an electron energy range which is difficult to probe by standard methods.
The determination of the microscopic dose-damage relationship for DNA in an aqueous environment is of a fundamental interest for dosimetry and applications in radiation therapy and protection. We combine geant4 particle-scattering simulations in water with calculations concerning the movement of biomolecules to obtain the energy deposit in the biologically relevant nanoscopic volume. We juxtaposition these results to the experimentally determined damage to obtain the dose-damage relationship at a molecular level. This approach is tested for an experimentally challenging system concerning the direct irradiation of plasmid DNA (pUC19) in water with electrons as primary particles. Here a microscopic target model for the plasmid DNA based on the relation of lineal energy and radiation quality is used to calculate the effective target volume. It was found that on average fewer than two ionizations within a 7.5-nm radius around the sugar-phosphate backbone are sufficient to cause a single strand break, with a corresponding median lethal energy deposit being E1/2=6±4 eV. The presented method is applicable for ionizing radiation (e.g., γ rays, x rays, and electrons) and a variety of targets, such as DNA, proteins, or cells.
Electron beam therpy is used to treat tumor cells by irradiation with high energy electrons (HEE). The irradiation is performed by medical linear accelerators.
By interaction of the HEE with the irradiated tissue a broad spectra of secondary electrons and water dissoziation products is generated.
These products interact with biomolecules, especially DNA, by various processes. The disentanglement of the resulting direct- and indirect damage to DNA and other cellular components is still under debate.
To increase the efficiency of future therapies a better understanding of the microscopic damaging processes is highly important.
Especially the various contributions of the secondary species produced, such as low energy electrons (LEE) and radicals is far from understood and quantified.
To increase the understanding we present a combination of a microdosimetric simulations and experiments to quantify the damage by means of electron scattering and diffusion simulations within the Geant4-DNA framework.
In combination with in-liquid irradiation of plasmid DNA it possible to determine microdosimetric quantities for biomolecules in liquid environment.
The presented method was applied to the irradiation of plasmid DNA (pUC19) in water.
This opens up new possibilities in radiation research to quantify the dosage-damage relationship for microscopic plasmid volumes under well defined physiological condition.
The damage caused by ionizing radiation to biomolecules, especially DNA, is the reason to treat cancer via radiation therapy. A better understanding of the molecular processes and the quantification of the various damaging mechanisms is the prerequisit to develope efficient therapies. Hereby the understanding of the processes involved in the damage to DNA are of key interest due to its central role in reproduction and mutation. Due to the high amount of water in biological tissue, most of the damage is caused by the secondary particles produced by the interaction of the IR with water. Thereby a multitude of species are produced, e.g. kinetic low energy electrons, prehydrated electrons, OH-radicals and ions. The quantification of the contribution to DNA damage of the various species is of interest. Here we present an experimental approach to disentangle their relative DNA strand break yield. Plasmid DNA is irradiated in water with electrons under the presence of different scavengers. With the presented method it will be possible to reveal the relative contributions of OH-radicals, low energy electrons and prehydrated electrons to the DNA single and double strand break yield.
