Recently, interest in mucosal surfaces, more specifically fish skin and its secreted mucus, has greatly increased among immunologists. The abundance of terminal carbohydrates, several enzymes (proteases, lysozyme, peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, esterases and ceruloplasmin), bactericidal activity against fish pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria and several physico-chemical parameters (protein concentration, pH, conductivity, redox potential, osmolarity, density and viscosity) in the skin mucus of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis, Kaup) have been evaluated. Present results evidence the abundance of N-acetylneuraminic acid, mannose, glucose and N-acetyl-galactosamine in skin mucus. The levels of lysozyme, proteases, esterases and alkaline phosphatase were very similar (from 20 to 30 Units mg−1 protein). However, 93 Units mg−1 protein were detected of ceruloplasmin and only 4′88 Units mg−1 protein of peroxidase. Skin mucus of S. senegalensis showed high bactericidal activity against the tested pathogen bacteria but weak activity against non-pathogenic bacteria. Finally, a clear relationship between mucus density and temperature was detected, while viscosity showed a direct shear- and temperature-dependent behaviour. These results could be useful for better understanding the role of the skin mucus as a key component of the innate immune system, as well as, for elucidating possible relationships between biological and physico-chemical parameters and disease susceptibility.

Liquid-liquid equilibra for ternary mixtures of 1-alkyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imides, n-hexane and organic compounds at 303.15 K and 0.1 MPa
( Elsevier , 2016-08-30) García Montalbán, Mercedes; Trigo, Rocío; Collado-González, Mar; Díaz Baños, F. Guillermo; Víllora Cano, Gloria; Ingeniería Química
Ternary liquid–liquid equilibria were experimentally determined for eight systems composed of an ionic liquid + n-hexane + an organic compound implicated in the racemic resolution of rac-2-pentanol (rac-2-pentanol, vinyl butyrate, rac-2-pentyl butyrate or butyric acid) at a temperature of 303.15 K and pressure of 0.1MPa. The following ionic liquids were used: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide, [emim+][NTf2-], and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide, [hmim+][NTf2-]. The binodal curves and the tie line of the conjugate phases compositions were determined through measurement of the refractive index for the ionic liquid-rich phase and by using gas chromatography for the hexane-rich phase, enabling their potential to be assessed for selective extraction of organic compounds from a mixture of ionic liquid reaction media for the resolution of rac-2-pentanol. Liquid phase activity coefficients were calculated using the Non-Random Two-Liquid equation and the tie line theoretical data calculated from the model are in good agreement with the experimental data. As yet, the literature contains no data for the systems studied in this paper.

Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the biological effects of MTA Repair HP and ProRoot MTA on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) after exposure to acidic and neutral environments. Materials and methods Discs of each material (n = 30) were exposed to phosphate buffered saline (pH = 7.4) or butyric acid (pH = 5.2) for 7 days, and biological testing was carried out in vitro on hPDLSCs. Cell viability and apoptosis assays were performed using eluates of each root-end filling material. To evaluate cell attachment to the different materials, hPDLSCs were directly seeded onto the material surfaces and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The chemical composition of the rootend filling materials was determined by energy-dispersive x-ray and eluates were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Statistical differences were assessed by ANOVA and Tukey test (p < 0.05). Results Under an acidic environment, both materials displayed similar ion release abilities, with the increased release of Si and Ca ions. Substantial changes in microstructure were observed for both materials after exposure to acidic pH. In addition, material exposure to an acidic environment showed a similar degree of cell adherence, and, surprisingly, MTA Repair HP exhibited higher cell viability rates at pH 5.2 than ProRoot MTA. Conclusions Exposure to an acidic environment promoted Si and Ca ion release from ProRoot MTA and MTA Repair HP. Moreover, we observed optimal biological properties of ProRoot MTA and MTA Repair HP in terms of cell viability, cell death, and cell attachment in both environments. Clinical relevance These results may suggest that MTA Repair HP and ProRoot exhibited optimal biological properties in terms of cell viability, cell death and cell attachment in acidic environment, being considered as materials for root-end filling and perforations.

Aggregation behaviour of gold nanoparticles in presence of chitosan
(Springer, 2015-06-13) Fernández Espín, Vanesa ; Pamies, Ramón ; García de la Torre, José; García Montalbán, Mercedes; collado; Collado-González, Mar; Hernández Cifre, José Ginés; Díaz Baños, F. Guillermo; Víllora Cano, Gloria; Ingeniería Química
Chitosan (CS) is a biocompatible polysaccharide with positive charge that is widely used as a coating agent for negatively charged nanoparticles. However, the types of structures that emerge by combining CS and anoparticles as well as their behaviour are still poorly understood. In this work, we characterize the nanocomposites formed by gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and CS and study the influence of CS in the expected aggregation process that should experience those nanoparticles under the favourable conditions of low pH and high ionic strength. Thus, at the working CS concentration, we observe the existence of CS structures that quickly trap the AuNPs and avoid the formation of nanoparticle aggregates in environmental conditions that, otherwise, would lead to such an aggregation.

(Elsevier Science, 2017-03-23) Collado-González, Mar; Tomás Catalá, Christopher Joseph; Oñate Sánchez, Ricardo Elías; Moraleda Jiménez, José María; Rodríguez Lozano, Francisco Javier; Dermatología, Estomatología, Radiología y Medicina Física
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro cytotoxicity of endodontic sealers (GuttaFlow Bioseal, GuttaFlow2, and MTA Fillapex) on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). As a reference, AH Plus was compared with the more recent endodontic sealers regarding cell viability and cell attachment. Methods: Biological testing was carried out in vitro on hPDLSCs. Cell viability assay was performed by using eluates from each endodontic sealer. To assess cell orphology and attachment to the different sealers, the hPDLSCs were directly seeded onto the material surfaces and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Chemical composition of the sealers was determined by energy-dispersive x-ray, and eluates were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Statistical differences were assessed by analysis of variance and Tukey test (P < .05). Results: Cell viability was evident after 24 hours in the presence of GuttaFlow Bioseal and GuttaFlow 2 but not in the case of AH Plus or MTA Fillapex. At 168 hours, GuttaFlow Bioseal and GuttaFlow 2 exhibited high and moderate cell viability, respectively, whereas AH Plus and MTA Fillapex revealed low rates of cell cell viability (P < .001). Finally, scanning electron microscopy studies revealed a high degree of proliferation, cell spreading, and attachment, especially when using GuttaFlow Bioseal disks. Conclusions: GuttaFlow Bioseal and GuttaFlow2 showed lower cytotoxicity than MTA Fillapex and AH plus. Further in vitro and in vivo investigations are required to confirm the suitability of GuttaFlow Bioseal for clinical application.

(SAGE Publications, 2015-07-01) Guardiola Abellán, Francisco Antonio; Cuartero, María; Collado-González, Mar; Arizcún, Marta; Díaz Baños, F. Guillermo; Meseguer, José; Esteban Abad, María de los Ángeles; Biología Celular e Histología
The study of mucosal surfaces, and in particular the fish skin and its secreted mucus, has been of great interest recently among immunologists. Measurement of the viscosity and other physico-chemical parameters (protein concentration, pH, conductivity, redox potential, osmolality and density) of the skin mucus can help to understand its biological functions. We have used five marine species of teleost: gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.), European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.), shi drum (Umbrina cirrosa L.), common dentex (Dentex dentex L.) and dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus L.), all of them with commercial interest in the aquaculture of the Mediterranean area. Mucus showed a direct shear- and temperature-dependent viscosity, with a non-Newtonian behavior, which differed however between two groups: one with higher viscosity (D. labrax, U. cirrosa, D. dentex) and the other with lower viscosity (S. aurata, E. marginatus). In addition, there was a clear interrelation between density and osmolality, as well as between density and temperature. Taking into account that high values of viscosity should improve the barrier effect against pathogens but low values of viscosity are needed for good locomotion characteristics, our results may help elucidate the relationship between physico-chemical and biological parameters of skin mucus, and disease susceptibility.

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2016-11-15) Sánchez Vera, María del Mar; Aznar-Cervantes, Salvador; Jover, Eva; García Bernal, David; Oñate Sánchez, Ricardo Elías; Hernández Romero, Diana; Moraleda Jiménez, José María; Collado-González, Mar; Rodríguez Lozano, Francisco Javier; Cenís, José L.; Dermatología, Estomatología, Radiología y Medicina Física
Graphene represents one of the most interesting additions to the tissue engineering toolbox. Novel graphenebased composites are required to improve the beneficial graphene properties in terms of tridimensional polymeric structure, conferring a higher mechanical strength and favoring the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. Here, we have demonstrated in a wide range of composite combinations, the successful use of graphene and silk-fibroin constructs for future bioengineering applications in the field of clinical regenerative dentistry using human periodontal ligament stem cells. Our results provide exciting new data for the development of suitable scaffolds that allow good cell engrafting, preservation of cell viability and proliferation, promotion of spontaneous osteoblastic differentiation, and importantly, stimulation of a higher cementum physiological synthesis than using other different available biomaterials.

(Willey, 2016-09-26) Collado-González, Mar; García Bernal, David; Oñate Sánchez, Ricardo Elías; Ortolani-Seltenerich, P.S.; Lozano, Adrián; Forner, Leopoldo; Llena, Carmen; Rodríguez Lozano, Francisco Javier; Dermatología, Estomatología, Radiología y Medicina Física
Aim To evaluate the biocompatibility of three calcium silicate-based endodontic sealers, Bioroot BC Sealer (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses, France), Endoseal MTA (EndoSeal, Maruchi, Seoul, Korea) and Nano-ceramic Sealer (B&L Biotech, Fairfax, VA, USA) (NCS), on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs). Methodology human periodontal ligament stem cells were cultured in the presence of various endodontic sealer eluates for 24 h. Cell viability was determined using the MTT assay. Cell death and changes in phenotype induced by the set endodontic sealer eluates were evaluated through flow cytometry. Also, an in vitro scratch wound-healing model was used to determine their effects in cell migration. Finally, to assess cell morphology and attachment to the different sealers, hPDLSCs were directly seeded onto the material surfaces and analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a Bonferroni post-test was performed (P < 0.05). Results At 24 h, cell spreading was evident in the presence of Bioroot BC Sealer (BR) and Nano-ceramic Sealer (NCS), but not Endoseal MTA (ES). At 72 h, BR and NCS exhibited high and moderate cell proliferation, respectively, whereas ES revealed low rates of cell proliferation (P < 0.05). Similar results were obtained in a cell death assay. In addition, hPDLSCs maintained their mesenchymal phenotype in all conditions although their capacity to migrate was higher in the presence of BR. Finally, SEM studies revealed a good degree of proliferation, cell spreading and attachment, especially when using BR and NCS discs. Conclusions BR and NCS were associated with better cytocompatibility than ES. Further in vitro and in vivo investigations are required to confirm the suitability of these calcium silicate-based endodontic sealers for clinical application.

Resveratrol lacks antifungal activity against Candida albicans.
(Springer, 2012-03-30 ) Collado-González, Mar; Guirao-Abad, José Pedro; Sánchez-Fresneda Pinto, Ruth; Belchí Navarro, Sarai; Argüelles Ordóñez, Juan Carlos; Genética y Microbiología
The putative candicidal activity of resveratrol is currently a matter of controversy. Here, the antifungal activity as well as the antioxidant response of resveratrol against Candida albicans, have been tested in a set of strains with a well-established genetic background At the doses usually employed in antifungal tests (10–40 lg/ml), resveratrol has no effect on the exponential growth of the C. albicans CAI.4 strain, a tenfold increase (400 lg/ml) was required in order to record a certain degree of cell killing, which was negligible in comparison with the strong antifungal effect caused by the addition of amphotericin B (5 lg/ml). An identical pattern was recorded in the prototrophic strains of C. albicans SC5314 and RM-100, whereas the oxidative sensitive trehalose-deficient mutant (tps1/tps1 strain) was totally refractory to the presence of resveratrol. In turn, the serum-induced yeast-to-hypha transition remained unaffected upon addition of different concentrations of resveratrol. Determination of endogenous trehalose and catalase activity, two antioxidant markers in C. albicans; revealed no significant changes in their basal contents induced by resveratrol. Collectively, our results seem to dismiss a main antifungal role as well as the therapeutic application of resveratrol against the infections caused by C. albicans.

Density and refractive index data of binary and ternary mixtures of imidazolium-based ionic liquids, n-hexane and organic compounds involved in the kinetic resolution of rac-2-pentanol
(Elsevier, 2018-05-05) García Montalbán, Mercedes; Collado-González, Mar; Lozano-Pérez, A. Abel; Díaz Baños, F. Guillermo; Víllora Cano, Gloria; Ingeniería Química
This data article is related to the subject of the research article “Extraction of Organic Compounds Involved in the Kinetic Resolution of rac-2-Pentanol from n-hexane by Imidazolium-based Ionic Liquids:Liquid-LiquidEquilibrium” (Montalbán etal.,2018) [1]. It contains experimental data of density and refractive index of binary and ternary mixtures of imidazolium-based ionic liquids, n-hexane and organic compounds involved in the kinetic resolution of rac-2-pentanol (rac-2-pentanol, vinylbutyrate, rac-2-pentyl butyrate or butyric acid) measured at 303.15 K and 1 atm. These data are presented as calibration curves which help to determine the composition of the ionic liquid-rich phase knowing its density or refractive index.
