    Antiradical and Cytoprotective Properties of Allium nutans L. Honey Against CCL4-Induced Liver Damage in Rats
    (Frontiers, 2021) Sergazy, S.; Gulyayev, A.; Amangeldiyeva, A.; Nurgozhina, A.; Nurgaziyev, M.; Shulgau, Z.; Chulenbayeva, L.; Khassenbekova, Z.; Kushugulova, A.; Aljofan, M.
    The aim of this study is determine the in vitro and in vivo antiradical properties and the cytoprotective activity of Allium nutans L. honey extract. The antiradical properties of the extracts were investigated in rabbit alveolar macrophages and human foreskin fibroblast (hFFs) cells in the presence of doxorubicin, a cytotoxic substance using DPPH and ABTS assays. The cytoprotective activities were determined using 18 Wistar rats divided into three different groups, a negative control, and two other groups with experimentally induced hepatotoxicity by a single intraperitoneal injection of 50% carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) oil solution. A positive control group, received drinking water only and an experimental group that was treated with Allium nutans L. honey extracts for 7 days. In vitro treatment with Allium nutans L. honey extracts resulted in 78% reduction in radical activity in DPPH and 91.6% inhibition using the ABTS. Also, honey extracts were able to preserve 100% of cell viability in the presence of the cytotoxic, doxorubicin. Furthermore, the treatment with honey extracts resulted in a significant reduction in damage to the structure of liver tissue, as well significant reduction in the levels of ALT and AST in the experimental group compared to the control group

    Investigating the Suitability of Mare’s Milk-Derived Exosomes as Potential Drug Carriers.
    (MDPI, 2024) Sergazy, S.; Zhetkenev, S; Shulgau, Z.; Chulenbayeva, L.; Kamyshanskiy, Y.; Nurgaziyev, M.; Nurgozhina, A.; Mukhanbetzhanova, Z.; Berikkhanova, K.; Gulyayev, A.; Aljofan M.
    Exosomes are cell-derived, membrane-surrounded particles that deliver bioactive molecules to various cells. Due to their small size, low immunogenicity, extended blood circulation, and involvement in cellular communication, they hold potential as effective drug carriers. Exosomes are present in various biological fluids, including mare’s milk, a traditional drink in Central Asia. This study aims to compare exosome isolation methodologies and determine the stability of mare’s milk-derived exosomes as potential therapeutic carriers. Three extraction methods—immunoprecipitation, size exclusion chromatography, and total exosome isolation—were compared in terms of exosome characteristics, purity, and content. The isolated exosomes were then loaded with quercetin, and their ability to increase its bioavailability was tested in vitro and in vivo. Total exosome isolation was identified as the most efficient method for producing high-quality exosomes. These exosomes were loaded with quercetin and compared to free quercetin and exosomes alone. Exosomes loaded with 80 µM quercetin significantly restored β-galactosidase activity and cellular viability in doxorubicin-treated cells, exhibiting similar potency to 160 µM free quercetin. In aged model animals, treatment with quercetin-loaded exosomes resulted in significantly less acute and subacute damage to the myocardium, kidneys, and liver compared to untreated control animals. This study provides a proof-of-concept that mare’s milk-derived exosomes can be effectively absorbed by cells and animal tissues, supporting their potential use as drug carriers.
