Cyclodextrins: Assessing the Impact of Cavity Size, Occupancy, and Substitutions on Cytotoxicity and Cholesterol Homeostasis
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides; the most common CDs contain six, seven, or eight glucose units called α-CDs, β-CDs, and γ-CDs, respectively. The use of CDs in biomedical research is increasing due to their ability to interact with membrane lipids as well as a wide variety of poorly...

description | Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides; the most common CDs contain six, seven, or eight glucose units called α-CDs, β-CDs, and γ-CDs, respectively. The use of CDs in biomedical research is increasing due to their ability to interact with membrane lipids as well as a wide variety of poorly water-soluble molecules. We assessed the impact of CD cavity size, occupancy, and substitutions on cytotoxicity and cholesterol homeostasis. The potency of CD-mediated cytotoxicity was in the order of β-CDs, α-CDs, and γ-CDs. Substitutions with hydroxypropyl or carboxymethyl group attenuated cytotoxicity compared with the native CDs, whereas CDs substituted with methyl groups exhibited cytotoxicity that was similar to that of the native CDs. The lipid components in blood exerted remarkable hemolysis-alleviating effects in methyl-β-CD-induced hemolysis. Occupancy of the CD cavity with cholesterol or a structurally related lipid molecule abrogated the cytotoxic capacity of the CDs. Interestingly, hydroxypropyl-γ-CD (HPγCD) was able to reduce intracellular cholesterol accumulation in Niemann–Pick disease type C (NPC) patient-derived fibroblasts as efficiently as HPβCD. Proteomic study indicated that HPβCD and HPγCD treatments altered the expression pattern of cellular proteins, suggesting that some of the CD-induced cellular proteins may play an important function in modulating intracellular cholesterol homeostasis. |
