Coordinated Contribution of NADPH Oxidase- and Mitochondria-Derived Reactive Oxygen Species in Metabolic Syndrome and Its Implication in Renal Dysfunction.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a complex of interrelated risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, is comprised of central obesity (increased waist circumference), hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia (high triglyceride blood levels, low high-density lipoprotein blood levels), and increased blood pressure. Oxidative stress, caused by the imbalance between pro-oxidant and endogenous antioxidant systems, is the primary pathological basis of MetS. The major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) associated with MetS are nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases and mitochondria. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge regarding the generation of ROS from NADPH oxidases and mitochondria, discuss the NADPH oxidase- and mitochondria-derived ROS signaling and pathophysiological effects, and the interplay between these two major sources of ROS, which leads to chronic inflammation, adipocyte proliferation, insulin resistance, and other metabolic abnormalities. The mechanisms linking MetS and chronic kidney disease are not well known. The role of NADPH oxidases and mitochondria in renal injury in the setting of MetS, particularly the influence of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in oxidative stress, inflammation, and subsequent renal injury, is highlighted. Understanding the molecular mechanism(s) underlying MetS may lead to novel therapeutic approaches by targeting the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in MetS and prevent its sequelae of chronic cardiovascular and renal diseases.

Project description:The dopamine D(2) receptor (D(2)R) regulates renal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and impaired D(2)R function results in ROS-dependent hypertension. Paraoxonase 2 (PON2), which belongs to the paraoxonase gene family, is expressed in various tissues, acting to protect against cellular oxidative stress. We hypothesized that PON2 may be involved in preventing excessive renal ROS production and thus may contribute to maintenance of normal blood pressure. Moreover, D(2)R may decrease ROS production, in part, through regulation of PON2. D(2)R colocalized with PON2 in the brush border of mouse renal proximal tubules. Renal PON2 protein was decreased (-33±6%) in D(2)(-/-) relative to D(2)(+/+) mice. Renal subcapsular infusion of PON2 siRNA decreased PON2 protein expression (-55%), increased renal oxidative stress (2.2-fold), associated with increased renal NADPH oxidase expression (Nox1, 1.9-fold; Nox2, 2.9-fold; and Nox4, 1.6-fold) and activity (1.9-fold), and elevated arterial blood pressure (systolic, 134±5 vs 93±6mmHg; diastolic, 97±4 vs 65±7mmHg; mean 113±4 vs 75±7mmHg). To determine the relevance of the PON2 and D(2)R interaction in humans, we studied human renal proximal tubule cells. Both D(2)R and PON2 were found in nonlipid and lipid rafts and physically interacted with each other. Treatment of these cells with the D(2)R/D(3)R agonist quinpirole (1?M, 24h) decreased ROS production (-35±6%), associated with decreased NADPH oxidase activity (-32±3%) and expression of Nox2 (-41±7%) and Nox4 (-47±8%) protein, and increased expression of PON2 mRNA (2.1-fold) and protein (1.6-fold) at 24h. Silencing PON2 (siRNA, 10nM, 48h) not only partially prevented the quinpirole-induced decrease in ROS production by 36%, but also increased basal ROS production (1.3-fold), which was associated with an increase in NADPH oxidase activity (1.4-fold) and expression of Nox2 (2.1-fold) and Nox4 (1.8-fold) protein. Inhibition of NADPH oxidase with diphenylene iodonium (10?M/30 min) inhibited the increase in ROS production caused by PON2 silencing. Our results suggest that renal PON2 is involved in the inhibition of renal NADPH oxidase activity and ROS production and contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. PON2 is positively regulated by D(2)R and may, in part, mediate the inhibitory effect of renal D(2)R on NADPH oxidase activity and ROS production.

Project description:Activation of microglia causes the production of proinflammatory factors and upregulation of NADPH oxidase (NOX) that form reactive oxygen species (ROS) that lead to neurodegeneration. Previously, we reported that 10 daily doses of ethanol treatment induced innate immune genes in brain. In the present study, we investigate the effects of chronic ethanol on activation of NOX and release of ROS, and their contribution to ethanol neurotoxicity.Male C57BL/6 and NF-?B enhanced GFP mice were treated intragastrically with water or ethanol (5 g/kg, i.g., 25% ethanol w/v) daily for 10 days. The effects of chronic ethanol on cell death markers (activated caspase-3 and Fluoro-Jade B), microglial morphology, NOX, ROS and NF-?B were examined using real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and hydroethidine histochemistry. Also, Fluoro-Jade B staining and NOX gp91phox immunohistochemistry were performed in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of human postmortem alcoholic brain and human moderate drinking control brain.Ethanol treatment of C57BL/6 mice showed increased markers of neuronal death: activated caspase-3 and Fluoro-Jade B positive staining with Neu-N (a neuronal marker) labeling in cortex and dentate gyrus. The OFC of human post-mortem alcoholic brain also showed significantly more Fluoro-Jade B positive cells colocalized with Neu-N, a neuronal marker, compared to the OFC of human moderate drinking control brain, suggesting increased neuronal death in the OFC of human alcoholic brain. Iba1 and GFAP immunohistochemistry showed activated morphology of microglia and astrocytes in ethanol-treated mouse brain. Ethanol treatment increased NF-?B transcription and increased NOX gp91phox at 24 hr after the last ethanol treatment that remained elevated at 1 week. The OFC of human postmortem alcoholic brain also had significant increases in the number of gp91phox + immunoreactive (IR) cells that are colocalized with neuronal, microglial and astrocyte markers. In mouse brain ethanol increased gp91phox expression coincided with increased production of O2- and O2- - derived oxidants. Diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), a NOX inhibitor, reduced markers of neurodegeneration, ROS and microglial activation.Ethanol activation of microglia and astrocytes, induction of NOX and production of ROS contribute to chronic ethanol-induced neurotoxicity. NOX-ROS and NF-?B signaling pathways play important roles in chronic ethanol-induced neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.
