Relation between Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Genotypes and Oxidative Stress Markers in Larynx Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Nitric oxide synthase (eNOS/NOS3) is responsible for the endothelial synthesis of nitric oxide (NO(•)). G894T polymorphism leads to the amino acid substitution from Glu298Asp that causes lower NOS3 activity and basal NO(•) production in NOS3 894T (298Asp) allele carriers compared with the GG homozygotes. NO(•) acts as an antioxidant protecting against Fenton's reaction which generates highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. Allelic variation of NOS3 may influence an individual's risk of laryngeal cancer (LC). In the current study we have examined the possible relationship between NOS3 G894T genotypes and various systemic oxidative damage markers such as protein carbonyl, advanced oxidation protein products, Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase, thiol group fractions, and lipid hydroperoxides in LC patients. Genotyping was carried out by PCR-RFLP. In LC patients with TT genotype, Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase activities and nonprotein thiol levels were significantly higher than the controls. In patients with GT and GG genotype, high levels of lipid hydroperoxides showed statistical significance when compared to controls. Our results indicate a potential relationship among G894T polymorphism of NOS3, and impaired redox homeostasis. Further studies are required to determine the role of NOS3 gene polymorphism and impaired plasma redox homeostasis.

Project description:Vascular endothelial dysfunction develops with aging, as indicated by impaired endothelium-dependent dilation, and is related to increased cardiovascular disease risk. We hypothesized that short-term treatment with fenofibrate, a lipid-lowering agent with potential pleiotropic effects, would improve endothelium-dependent dilation in middle-aged and older normolipidemic adults by reducing oxidative stress. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, a measure of endothelium-dependent dilation, was assessed in 22 healthy adults aged 50 to 77 years before and after 7 days of fenofibrate (145 mg/d; n=12) or placebo (n=10). Brachial flow-mediated dilation was unchanged with placebo, but improved after 2 and 7 days of fenofibrate (5.1 ± 0.7 versus 2 days: 6.0 ± 0.7 and 7 days: 6.4 ± 0.6%δ; both P<0.005). The improvements in flow-mediated dilation after 7 days remained significant (P<0.05) after accounting for modest changes in plasma total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Endothelium-independent dilation was not affected by fenofibrate or placebo (P>0.05). Intravenous infusion of the antioxidant vitamin C improved brachial flow-mediated dilation at baseline in both groups and during placebo treatment (P<0.05), but not after 2 and 7 days of fenofibrate (P>0.05). Fenofibrate treatment also reduced plasma-oxidized low-density lipoprotein, a systemic marker of oxidative stress, compared with placebo (P<0.05). In vascular endothelial cells sampled from peripheral veins of the subjects, endothelial nitric oxide synthase protein expression was unchanged with placebo and after 2 days of fenofibrate, but was increased after 7 days of fenofibrate (0.54 ± 0.03 versus 2 days: 0.52 ± 0.04 and 7 days: 0.76 ± 0.11 intensity/human umbilical vein endothelial cell control; P<0.05, 7 days). Short-term treatment with fenofibrate improves vascular endothelial function in healthy normolipidemic middle-aged and older adults by reducing oxidative stress and induces an increase in endothelial nitric oxide synthase.

Project description:Background & aimsNitric oxide bioactivity (NO) from endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) importantly contributes to the maintenance of vascular homeostasis, and reduced eNOS activity has been associated with cardiovascular disease. Emerging evidence suggests interaction(s) between red blood cells (RBCs) and the endothelium in vascular control; however, the specific role of RBC eNOS is less clear. We aimed to investigate the hypothesis that a lack of RBC eNOS induces endothelial dysfunction.Methods & resultsRBCs from global eNOS knockout (KO) and wildtype (WT) mice were co-incubated ex vivo overnight with healthy mouse aortic rings, followed by functional and mechanistic analyses of endothelium-dependent and independent relaxations. RBCs from eNOS KO mice induced endothelial dysfunction and vascular oxidative stress, whereas WT RBC did not. No differences were observed for endothelium-independent relaxations. This eNOS KO RBC-induced endothelial dysfunctional phenotype was prevented by concomitant co-incubation with reactive oxygen species scavenger (TEMPOL), arginase inhibitor (nor-NOHA), NO donor (detaNONOate) and NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) inhibitor. Moreover, vessels from endothelial cell-specific arginase 1 KO mice were resistant to eNOS KO-RBC-induced endothelial dysfunction. Finally, in mice aortae co-incubated with RBCs from women with preeclampsia, we observed a significant reduction in endothelial function compared to when using RBCs from healthy pregnant women or from women with uncomplicated gestational hypertension.ConclusionsRBCs from mice lacking eNOS, and patients with preeclampsia, induce endothelial dysfunction in adjacent blood vessels. Thus, RBC-derived NO bioactivity acts to prevent induction of vascular oxidative stress occurring via RBC NOX4-derived ROS in a vascular arginase-dependent manner. Our data highlight the intrinsic protective role of RBC-derived NO bioactivity in preventing the damaging potential of RBCs. This provides novel insight into the functional relationship between RBCs and the vasculature in health and cardiovascular disease, including preeclampsia.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Impaired endothelial cell (EC) autophagy compromises shear stress-induced nitric oxide (NO) generation. We determined the responsible mechanism. APPROACH AND RESULTS:On autophagy compromise in bovine aortic ECs exposed to shear stress, a decrease in glucose uptake and EC glycolysis attenuated ATP production. We hypothesized that decreased glycolysis-dependent purinergic signaling via P2Y1 (P2Y purinoceptor 1) receptors, secondary to impaired autophagy in ECs, prevents shear-induced phosphorylation of eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) at its positive regulatory site S1117 (p-eNOSS1177) and NO generation. Maneuvers that restore glucose transport and glycolysis (eg, overexpression of GLUT1 [glucose transporter 1]) or purinergic signaling (eg, addition of exogenous ADP) rescue shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO production in ECs with impaired autophagy. Conversely, inhibiting glucose transport via GLUT1 small interfering RNA, blocking purinergic signaling via ectonucleotidase-mediated ATP/ADP degradation (eg, apyrase), or inhibiting P2Y1 receptors using pharmacological (eg, MRS2179 [2'-deoxy-N6-methyladenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate tetrasodium salt]) or genetic (eg, P2Y1-receptor small interfering RNA) procedures inhibit shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation in ECs with intact autophagy. Supporting a central role for PKC?T505 (protein kinase C delta T505) in relaying the autophagy-dependent purinergic-mediated signal to eNOS, we find that (1) shear stress-induced activating phosphorylation of PKC?T505 is negated by inhibiting autophagy, (2) shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation are restored in autophagy-impaired ECs via pharmacological (eg, bryostatin) or genetic (eg, constitutively active PKC?) activation of PKC?T505, and (3) pharmacological (eg, rottlerin) and genetic (eg, PKC? small interfering RNA) PKC? inhibition prevents shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation in ECs with intact autophagy. Key nodes of dysregulation in this pathway on autophagy compromise were revealed in human arterial ECs. CONCLUSIONS:Targeted reactivation of purinergic signaling and PKC? has strategic potential to restore compromised NO generation in pathologies associated with suppressed EC autophagy.
