Local Cytotoxic Effects in Cobra Envenoming: A Pilot Study

Jing-Hua Lin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical toxicology of cobra venom through analyzing envenomed tissues from four cases of N. atra snake envenomation. The study found that high concentrations of venom and toxins, particularly cytotoxin A3, persisted in the bullae, wound discharge fluid, and necrotic tissue even after treatment with specific antivenom. Wide excision and advanced debridement were effective in removing these toxins and promoting wound healing. The point-of-care apparatus, ICT-Cobra kit, could be used for monitoring the wound condition and as an indicator for surgical intervention in cases of cobra envenomation in Taiwan.

Effects of Cardiotoxins from Naja oxiana Cobra Venom on Rat Heart Muscle and Aorta: A Comparative Study of Toxin-Induced Contraction Mechanisms

Alexey S. Averin et al.

Summary: In this study, the effects of different types of snake toxins on the cardiovascular system were investigated. The results showed dose-dependent effects of the toxins on myocardial contraction and arterial contraction, with the P-type toxin having a stronger effect. Furthermore, it was found that the involvement of reverse-mode Na+/Ca2+ exchange plays a role in the toxins' effects on the arteries.

Investigating Toxin Diversity and Abundance in Snake Venom Proteomes

Theo Tasoulis et al.

Summary: Understanding snake venom proteomes is crucial for comprehending snake venom biology, evolution, as well as the clinical effects of venoms and approaches to antivenom development. This study reviewed a range of research on snake venom proteomes and found that different methodological strategies can enhance protein identification, while combining methods can maximize proteome coverage. Variation in protein diversity and abundance was observed among different snake species, with viper venoms being compositionally more complex than elapid venoms. To ensure equivalent comparisons between studies, it is necessary to clarify methodological differences and establish standardized protein classification, nomenclature, and reporting procedures.

Functional and structural properties of cardiotoxin isomers produced by blocking negatively charged groups

Guan-Lin Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role of carboxyl groups in maintaining the structure and function of Naja atra cardiotoxin 3 (CTX3). Modification of the carboxyl groups resulted in changes in the gross and fine structures of CTX3. The modified CTX3 showed reduced permeabilizing effect on anionic phospholipid vesicles and lower activity in inducing membrane leakage in U937 cells. The membrane interaction mode of CTX3 was also altered by the modification of carboxyl groups.

A comparison of two different analytical workflows to determine the venom proteome composition of Naja kaouthia from North-East India and immunological profiling of venom against commercial antivenoms

Hirakjyoti Kakati et al.

Summary: This study used two proteomic approaches to analyze the composition of Indian monocled cobra venom. The venom was found to contain toxins from multiple families, with phospholipase A2 and three-finger toxins being the most abundant enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins, respectively. Commercial antivenom showed poor efficacy in recognizing low molecular weight toxins, but specific antibodies for this venom were found in the antivenom.

Cytotoxicity of Venoms and Cytotoxins from Asiatic Cobras (Naja kaouthia, Naja sumatrana, Naja atra) and Neutralization by Antivenoms from Thailand, Vietnam, and Taiwan

Ho Phin Chong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the cytotoxicity of venoms and purified cytotoxins from different species of cobras, and tested the neutralization ability of three antivenoms against the cytotoxicity. The results showed that different types of cobra venoms and cytotoxins exhibited varying concentration-dependent cytotoxicity, and the antivenoms had different levels of neutralization potency against the cytotoxicity.

The myth of cobra venom cytotoxin: More than just direct cytolytic actions

Jia Jin Hiu et al.

Summary: This article discusses the interaction between cobra venom cytotoxin (CTX) and the cell membrane, including electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic partitioning, isotropic phase, and oligomerization. Oligomerization of CTX causes pore formation in the cell membrane lipid bilayer, and CTX can induce apoptosis through both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways. The article also discusses lysosomal-mediated necrosis and the occurrence of necroptosis following CTX action. The study provides insights into the concentration-dependent transition of cell death patterns caused by CTX and suggests new directions for further research on cytotoxic pathways and the development of biotherapeutics targeting CTX-induced pathological effects.

Equatorial Spitting Cobra (Naja sumatrana) from Malaysia (Negeri Sembilan and Penang), Southern Thailand, and Sumatra: Comparative Venom Proteomics, Immunoreactivity and Cross-Neutralization by Antivenom

Choo Hock Tan et al.

Summary: The Equatorial Spitting Cobra is a venomous snake species in Southeast Asia that lacks a species-specific antivenom. The study found that the venom of this snake species has variations in its protein content, with three-finger toxins and phospholipases A(2) being the major proteins. The Thai Naja kaouthia Monovalent Antivenom was found to partially neutralize the venom's lethality, indicating its potential use as a treatment for Equatorial Spitting Cobra envenomation.

Summary: This study presents a successful attempt to describe the step-by-step embedding of the MBP cardiotoxin CT2 into a lipid bilayer, revealing distinct stages and molecular interactions involved in membrane insertion. The dynamic molecular portraits of the protein and the membrane determine the interplay of specific and nonspecific interactions, facilitating the design of MBPs with predetermined properties for specific membrane targets.

A Neurotoxic Snake Venom without Phospholipase A2: Proteomics and Cross-Neutralization of the Venom from Senegalese Cobra, Naja senegalensis (Subgenus: Uraeus)

Kin Ying Wong et al.

Summary: The Senegalese cobra, Naja senegalensis, has a venom composition dominated by three-finger toxins, including cardiotoxin/cytotoxin and alpha-neurotoxins. Unlike other cobra species, the venom of N. senegalensis does not contain phospholipase A(2), making it unique. Although highly lethal, the efficacy of existing antivenom in neutralizing the venom's effects is limited, suggesting a need for further improvement in treatment strategies for cobra bite envenomation in Africa.

Summary: Snake venoms, complex mixtures of peptides and proteins, have the potential to affect the cardiovascular system with effects ranging from cardiotoxic to cardioprotective. Some venom proteins and peptides show promise as candidates for the design of new drugs to prevent or treat cardiovascular diseases, which are a major cause of death worldwide. Studies on snake venom components and their physiological mechanisms are ongoing for potential medical applications.

Naja atra Cardiotoxin 1 Induces the FasL/Fas Death Pathway in Human Leukemia Cells

Jing-Ting Chiou et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of Naja atra CTX1-induced cell death in leukemia cell lines. Results showed that CTX1 increased Ca2+ and ROS levels, leading to cell death through activation of the NOX4/ROS/p38 MAPK axis and subsequent activation of c-Jun-mediated Fas and ATF-2-mediated FasL transcription. The study also found that only CTX1 induced Fas/FasL expression and the intact Met residues were essential for its activity.
