Study of Tissue-Specific Reactive Oxygen Species Formation by Cell Membrane Microarrays for the Characterization of Bioactive Compounds.

ABSTRACT: The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increases considerably in situations of cellular stress, inducing lipid peroxidation and multiple alterations in proteins and nucleic acids. However, sensitivity to oxidative damage varies between organs and tissues depending on the triggering process. Certain drugs used in the treatment of diverse diseases such as malaria have side effects similar to those produced by oxidative damage, although no specific study has been conducted. For this purpose, cell membrane microarrays were developed and the superoxide production evoked by the mitochondrial activity was assayed in the presence of specific inhibitors: rotenone, antimycin A and azide. Once the protocol was set up on cell membrane isolated from rat brain areas, the effect of six antimalarial drugs (atovaquone, quinidine, doxycycline, mefloquine, artemisinin, and tafenoquine) and two essential oils (Rosmarinus officinalis and Origanum majoricum) were evaluated in multiple human samples. The basal activity was different depending on the type of tissue, the liver, jejunum and adrenal gland being the ones with the highest amount of superoxide. The antimalarial drugs studied showed specific behavior according to the type of human tissue analyzed, with atovaquone and quinidine producing the highest percentage of superoxide formation, and doxycycline the lowest. In conclusion, the analysis of superoxide production evaluated in cell membranes of a collection of human tissues allowed for the characterization of the safety profile of these antimalarial drugs against toxicity mediated by oxidative stress.

Mechanisms underlying reductant-induced reactive oxygen species formation by anticancer copper(II) compounds.

Project description:Intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via thiol-mediated reduction of copper(II) to copper(I) has been assumed as the major mechanism underlying the anticancer activity of copper(II) complexes. The aim of this study was to compare the anticancer potential of copper(II) complexes of Triapine (3-aminopyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone; currently in phase II clinical trials) and its terminally dimethylated derivative with that of 2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone and that of 2,2'-bipyridyl-6-carbothioamide. Experiments on generation of oxidative stress and the influence of biologically relevant reductants (glutathione, ascorbic acid) on the anticancer activity of the copper complexes revealed that reductant-dependent redox cycling occurred mainly outside the cells, leading to generation and dismutation of superoxide radicals resulting in cytotoxic amounts of H(2)O(2). However, without extracellular reductants only weak intracellular ROS generation was observed at IC(50) levels, suggesting that cellular thiols are not involved in copper-complex-induced oxidative stress. Taken together, thiol-induced intracellular ROS generation might contribute to the anticancer activity of copper thiosemicarbazone complexes but is not the determining factor.

Reactive oxygen species in inflammation and tissue injury.

Project description:Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key signaling molecules that play an important role in the progression of inflammatory disorders. An enhanced ROS generation by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) at the site of inflammation causes endothelial dysfunction and tissue injury. The vascular endothelium plays an important role in passage of macromolecules and inflammatory cells from the blood to tissue. Under the inflammatory conditions, oxidative stress produced by PMNs leads to the opening of inter-endothelial junctions and promotes the migration of inflammatory cells across the endothelial barrier. The migrated inflammatory cells not only help in the clearance of pathogens and foreign particles but also lead to tissue injury. The current review compiles the past and current research in the area of inflammation with particular emphasis on oxidative stress-mediated signaling mechanisms that are involved in inflammation and tissue injury.

NCF4 dependent intracellular reactive oxygen species regulate plasma cell formation.

Project description:Defective reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by genetically determined variants of the NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) complex component, NCF4, leads to enhanced production of autoantibodies to collagen type II (COL2) and severe collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice. To further understand this process, we used mice harboring a mutation in the lipid endosomal membrane binding site (R58A) of NCF4 subunit. This mutation did not affect the extracellular ROS responses but showed instead decreased intracellular responses following B cell stimulation. Immunization with COL2 led to severe arthritis with increased antibody levels in Ncf458A mutated animals without significant effects on antigen presentation, autoreactive T cell activation and germinal center formation. Instead, plasma cell formation was enhanced and had altered CXCR3/CXCR4 expression. This B cell intrinsic effect was further confirmed with chimeric B cell transfer experiments and in vitro LPS or CD40L with anti-IgM stimulation. We conclude that NCF4 regulates the terminal differentiation of B cells to plasma cells through intracellular ROS.

Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Formation Determines ACSL4/LPCAT2-Mediated Ferroptosis.

Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of oxidative cell death that is characterized by enhanced lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial impairment. The enzymes acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) play an essential role in the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-containing phospholipids, thereby providing the substrates for lipid peroxidation and promoting ferroptosis. To examine the impact of mitochondria in ACSL4/LPCAT2-driven ferroptosis, HEK293T cells overexpressing ACSL4 and LPCAT2 (OE) or empty vector controls (LV) were exposed to 1S, 3R-RSL3 (RSL3) for induction of ferroptosis. The ACSL4/LPCAT2 overexpression resulted in higher sensitivity against RSL3-induced cell death compared to LV-transfected controls. Moreover, mitochondrial parameters such as mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial respiration deteriorated in the OE cells, supporting the conclusion that mitochondria play a significant role in ACSL4/LPCAT2-driven ferroptosis. This was further confirmed through the protection of OE cells against RSL3-mediated cell death by the mitochondrial ROS scavenger mitoquinone (MitoQ), which exerted protection via antioxidative properties rather than through previously reported metabolic effects. Our findings implicate that mitochondrial ROS production and the accompanying organelle disintegration are essential for mediating oxidative cell death initiated through lipid peroxidation in ferroptosis.

Loss of plasma membrane integrity, complement response and formation of reactive oxygen species during early myocardial ischemia/reperfusion.

Project description:Loss of plasma membrane integrity (LPMI) is a hallmark of necrotic cell death. The involvement of complement and ROS in the development of LPMI during the early stages of murine myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury was investigated. LPMI developed within 1 h of reperfusion to a level that was sustained through 24 h. C3 deposition became significant at 3-h reperfusion and thus contributed little to LPMI prior to this time. SOD1 transgenic mice had significantly less LPMI compared with WT mice at 1 h of reperfusion but not at later time points. Catalase transgenic mice were not protected from LPMI at 1-h reperfusion compared with WT mice, but had 69% less LPMI at 3-h reperfusion. This protection was transient. At 24-h reperfusion the LPMI of catalase transgenic mice was identical to that of WT mice. The delayed benefits of over-expressed catalase compared with SOD1 are consistent with its antioxidant action downstream of SOD1. The onset of LPMI occurs within 1 h of reperfusion at a level that is maintained through 24 h. ROS contribute significantly to LPMI during the first 3 h of reperfusion, while complement deposition, which becomes significant after 3-h reperfusion, may contribute thereafter.

Mitochondrion-derived reactive oxygen species lead to enhanced amyloid beta formation.

Project description:AimsIntracellular amyloid beta (Aβ) oligomers and extracellular Aβ plaques are key players in the progression of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). Still, the molecular signals triggering Aβ production are largely unclear. We asked whether mitochondrion-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) are sufficient to increase Aβ generation and thereby initiate a vicious cycle further impairing mitochondrial function.ResultsComplex I and III dysfunction was induced in a cell model using the respiratory inhibitors rotenone and antimycin, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and enhanced ROS levels. Both treatments lead to elevated levels of Aβ. Presence of an antioxidant rescued mitochondrial function and reduced formation of Aβ, demonstrating that the observed effects depended on ROS. Conversely, cells overproducing Aβ showed impairment of mitochondrial function such as comprised mitochondrial respiration, strongly altered morphology, and reduced intracellular mobility of mitochondria. Again, the capability of these cells to generate Aβ was partly reduced by an antioxidant, indicating that Aβ formation was also ROS dependent. Moreover, mice with a genetic defect in complex I, or AD mice treated with a complex I inhibitor, showed enhanced Aβ levels in vivo.InnovationWe show for the first time that mitochondrion-derived ROS are sufficient to trigger Aβ production in vitro and in vivo.ConclusionSeveral lines of evidence show that mitochondrion-derived ROS result in enhanced amyloidogenic amyloid precursor protein processing, and that Aβ itself leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and increased ROS levels. We propose that starting from mitochondrial dysfunction a vicious cycle is triggered that contributes to the pathogenesis of sporadic AD.

Increased Reactive Oxygen Species Formation and Oxidative Stress in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Project description:BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Highly reactive oxygen free radicals are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. In this study, RA patients were sub-grouped depending upon the presence or absence of rheumatoid factor, disease activity score and disease duration. RA Patients (120) and healthy controls (53) were evaluated for the oxidant-antioxidant status by monitoring ROS production, biomarkers of lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and DNA damage. The level of various enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants was also monitored. Correlation analysis was also performed for analysing the association between ROS and various other parameters.MethodsIntracellular ROS formation, lipid peroxidation (MDA level), protein oxidation (carbonyl level and thiol level) and DNA damage were detected in the blood of RA patients. Antioxidant status was evaluated by FRAP assay, DPPH reduction assay and enzymatic (SOD, catalase, GST, GR) and non-enzymatic (vitamin C and GSH) antioxidants.ResultsRA patients showed a higher ROS production, increased lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and DNA damage. A significant decline in the ferric reducing ability, DPPH radical quenching ability and the levels of antioxidants has also been observed. Significant correlation has been found between ROS and various other parameters studied.ConclusionRA patients showed a marked increase in ROS formation, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, DNA damage and decrease in the activity of antioxidant defence system leading to oxidative stress which may contribute to tissue damage and hence to the chronicity of the disease.

Isoform-specific regulation of Akt by PDGF-induced reactive oxygen species.

Project description:Isoform-specific signaling of Akt, a major signaling hub and a prominent therapeutic target, remained poorly defined until recently. Subcellular distribution, tissue-specific expression, substrate specificity, and posttranslational modifications are believed to underlie isoform-specific signaling of Akt. The studies reported here show inhibition of Akt2 activity under physiologically relevant conditions of oxidation created by PDGF-induced reactive oxygen species. Combined MS and functional assays identified Cys124 located in the linker region between the N-terminal pleckstrin homology domain and the catalytic kinase domain as one of the unique regulatory redox sites in Akt2 with functional consequence on PDGF-stimulated glucose uptake. A model is proposed describing the consequence of increased endogenous oxidation induced by extracellular cues such as PDGF on Akt2 activity.
