<p>Atomically dispersed Pd +2 cations with ultra-dilute loading of palladium (0.005-0.05 wt%) were anchored on anatase titania and characterized with FTIR, microscopy and catalytic tests. CO infrared adsorption produces a sharp, narrow mono-carbonyl Pd(II)-CO band at ~2,130 cm<sup>-1</sup> indicating formation of highly uniform and stable Pd+2 ions on anatase titania. The 0.05 wt% Pd/TiO<sub>2</sub> sample was evaluated for methane combustion under dry and wet (industrially relevant) conditions in the presence and absence of carbon monoxide. Notably, we find the isolated palladium atoms respond dynamically upon oxygen concentration modulation (switching-on and switching off). When oxygen is removed from the wet methane stream, palladium ions are reduced to metallic state by methane and catalyze methane steam reforming instead of complete methane oxidation. Re-admission of oxygen restores Pd<sup>+2</sup> cations and switches off methane steam reforming activity. Moreover, 0.05 wt% Pd/TiO<sub>2</sub> is a competent CO oxidation catalyst in the presence of water steam with 90% CO conversion and TOF ~ 4,000 hr<sup>-1</sup> at 260 ⁰C. </p><p>More importantly, we find that diluting 0.05 wt% Pd/titania sample with titania to ultra-low 0.005 wt% palladium loading produces a remarkably active material for nitric oxide reduction with carbon monoxide under industrially relevant conditions with >90% conversion of nitric oxide at 180 ⁰C (~460 ppm NO and 150 L/g*hr flow rate in the presence of >2% water steam) and TOF ~6,000 hr<sup>-1</sup>. Pd thus outperforms state-of-the-art rhodium containing catalysts with (15-20 times higher rhodium loading; rhodium is ~ 3 times more expensive than palladium). Furthermore, palladium catalysts are more selective towards nitrogen and produce significantly less ammonia relative to the more traditional rhodium catalysts due to lower Pd amount nd lower water-gas-shift activity. Our study is the first example of utilizing ultra-low (0.05 wt% and less) noble metal (Pd) amounts to produce heterogeneous catalysts with extraordinary activity for nitric oxide reduction. This opens up a pathway to study other Pd, Pt and Rh containing materials with ultra-low loadings of expensive noble metals dispersed on titania or titania-coated oxides for industrially relevant nitric oxide abatement.</p>

We have studied the influence of nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), putative messenger molecules in the brain as well as in the islets of Langerhans, on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and on the activities of the acid α-glucoside hydrolases, enzymes which we previously have shown to be implicated in the insulin release process. We have shown here that exogenous NO gas inhibits, while CO gas amplifies glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in intact mouse islets concomitant with a marked inhibition (NO) and a marked activation (CO) of the activities of the lysosomal/vacuolar enzymes acid glucan-1,4-α-glucosidase and acid α-glucosidase (acid α-glucoside hydrolases). Furthermore, CO dose-dependently potentiated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in the range 0.1–1000 μM. In intact islets, the heme oxygenase substrate hemin markedly amplified glucose-stimulated insulin release, an effect which was accompanied by an increased activity of the acid α-glucoside hydrolases. These effects were partially suppressed by the guanylate cyclase inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one. Hemin also inhibited inducible NO synthase (iNOS)-derived NO production probably through a direct effect of CO on the NOS enzyme. Further, exogenous CO raised the content of both cGMP and cAMP in parallel with a marked amplification of glucose-stimulated insulin release, while exogenous NO suppressed insulin release and cAMP, leaving cGMP unaffected. Emiglitate, a selective inhibitor of α-glucoside hydrolase activities, was able to markedly inhibit the stimulatory effect of exogenous CO on both glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and the activityof acid glucan-1,4-α-glucosidase and acid α-glucosidase, while no appreciable effect on the activities of other lysosomal enzyme activities measured was found. We propose that CO and NO, both produced in significant quantities in the islets of Langerhans, have interacting regulatory roles on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. This regulation is, at least in part, transduced through the activity of cGMP and the lysosomal/vacuolar system and the associated acid α-glucoside hydrolases, but probably also through a direct effect on the cAMP system.

Inflammatory Effect

Abstract Microglia are the immune competent cell of the central nervous system (CNS), promoting brain homeostasis and regulating inflammatory response against infection and injury. Chronic or exacerbated neuroinflammation is a cause of damage in several brain pathologies. Endogenous carbon monoxide (CO), produced from the degradation of heme, is described as anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory in several contexts, including in the CNS. Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a haemoglobin-homologous protein, which upregulation triggers antioxidant defence and prevents neuronal apoptosis. Thus, we hypothesized a crosstalk between CO and Ngb, in particular, that the anti-neuroinflammatory role of CO in microglia depends on Ngb. A novel CO-releasing molecule (ALF826) based on molybdenum was used for delivering CO in microglial culture.BV-2 mouse microglial cell line was challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for triggering inflammation, and after 6h ALF826 was added. CO exposure limited inflammation by decreasing inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression and the production of nitric oxide (NO) and tumour necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), and by increasing interleukine-10 (IL-10) release. CO-induced Ngb upregulation correlated in time with CO’s anti-inflammatory effect. Moreover, knocking down Ngb reversed the anti-inflammatory effect of CO, suggesting that dependents on Ngb expression. CO-induced Ngb upregulation was independent on ROS signalling, but partially dependent on the transcriptional factor SP1. Finally, microglial cell metabolism is also involved in the inflammatory response. In fact, LPS treatment decreased oxygen consumption in microglia, indicating a switch to glycolysis, which is associated with a proinflammatory. While CO treatment increased oxygen consumption, reverting LPS effect and indicating a metabolic shift into a more oxidative metabolism. Moreover, in the absence of Ngb this phenotype was no longer observed, indicating Ngb is needed for CO’s modulation of microglial metabolism. Finally, the metabolic shift induced by CO did not depend on alteration of mitochondrial population. In conclusion, neuroglobin emerges for the first time as a key player for CO signalling against exacerbated neuroinflammation in microglia.
