The role of NAD metabolism in neuronal differentiation
Neves, Diogo; Goodfellow, Brian J.; Vieira, Sandra I.; Silva, RaquelBackground: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolism is involved in redox and non-redox reactions that regulate several processes including differentiation of cells of different origins. Here, the role of NAD metabolism in neuronal differentiation, which remains elusive so far, was investigated. Material and methods: A protein-protein interaction network between neurotrophin signaling and NAD metaboli...

NMR metabolomics assessment of osteogenic differentiation of adipose-tissue-der...
Bispo, Daniela S. C.; Jesus, Catarina S. H.; Correia, Marlene; Ferreira, Filipa; Bonifazio, Giulia; Goodfellow, Brian J.; Oliveira, Mariana B.This Article presents, for the first time to our knowledge, an untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomic characterization of the polar intracellular metabolic adaptations of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells during osteogenic differentiation. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for bone regeneration is a promising alternative to conventional bone grafts, and untargeted metabolomics...
Endo- and exometabolome crosstalk in mesenchymal stem cells undergoing osteogen...
Bispo, Daniela S. C.; Michálková, Lenka; Correia, Marlene; Jesus, Catarina S. H.; Duarte, Iola F.; Goodfellow, Brian J.; Oliveira, Mariana B.This paper describes, for the first time to our knowledge, a lipidome and exometabolome characterization of osteogenic differentiation for human adipose tissue stem cells (hAMSCs) using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The holistic nature of NMR enabled the time-course evolution of cholesterol, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids (including ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids), several phospholipids (phosph...
Binding and transport properties of a benzo[b]thiophene‐based mono‐(thio)urea l...
Moiteiro, Cristina; Marques, Igor; Ryder, William G.; Cachatra, Vasco; Carvalho, Sílvia; Chen, Li‐Jun; Goodfellow, Brian J.; Gale, Philip A.Using the chemical versatility of the benzo[b]thiophene motif, an extensive library of 24 (thio)urea receptors, with different binding properties and lipophilicities, was prepared and included α,α-, α,β-, β,β-, β,γ-, α,γ-, and γ,γ-benzo[b]thiophene positional isomers, as well as β- or γ-benzo[b]thiophene-based molecules decorated with aliphatic chains or aryl moieties with different fluorination degrees. 1H NMR...
Chitosan film as a replacement for conventional sulphur dioxide treatment of wh...
Rodrigues, Joao A.; Nunes, Cláudia; Coimbra, Manuel A.; Goodfellow, Brian J.; Gil, Ana M.Chitosan-genipin (Ch-Ge) films have been proposed for the replacement of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in white wines preservation to circumvent the adverse health consequences caused by SO2 intake. To assess the effects of different-sized Ch-Ge films (25 and 100 cm2) on wine composition compared to SO2-treated and untreated wines, nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics was applied. Relative to SO2, 100 cm2 films induc...
NMR metabolic composition profiling of high pressure pasteurized milk preserved...
Lemos, Álvaro T.; Goodfellow, Brian J.; Delgadillo, Ivonne; Saraiva, Jorge A.1H NMR spectroscopy was used to study the effect of hyperbaric storage (HS) on the chemical composition of high pressure pasteurized milk (HPP milk). A subsequent multivariate analysis (MVA) was applied to distinguish samples stored under different conditions. Three different pressure levels (50/75/100 MPa), at naturally variable uncontrolled room temperature (≈ 20 ◦C), and up to 40 days of storage were compare...
The long-term culture of human fibroblasts reveals a spectroscopic signature of...
Magalhães, Sandra; Almeida, Idália; Pereira, Cátia D.; Rebelo, Sandra; Goodfellow, Brian J.; Nunes, AlexandraAging is a complex process which leads to progressive loss of fitness/capability/ability, increasing susceptibility to disease and, ultimately, death. Regardless of the organism, there are some features common to aging, namely, the loss of proteostasis and cell senescence. Mammalian cell lines have been used as models to study the aging process, in particular, cell senescence. Thus, the aim of this study was to...
The SOUL family of heme-binding proteins: structure and function 15 years later
Goodfellow, Brian J.; Freire, Filipe; Carvalho, Ana Luísa; Aveiro, Susana S.; Charbonnier, Peggy; Moulis, Jean-Marc; Delgado, LeonildoThe SOUL, or heme-binding protein HBP/SOUL, family represents a group of evolutionary conserved putative heme-binding proteins that contains a number of members in animal, plant and bacterial species. The structures of the murine form of HEBP1, or p22HBP, and the human form of HEBP2, or SOUL, have been determined in 2006 and 2011 respectively. In this work we discuss the structures of HEBP1 and HEBP2 in light o...
