Rac1, and not Rac2, is involved in the regulation of the intracellular hydrogen peroxide level in HepG2 cells.

ABSTRACT: In order to elucidate the components of the oxygen sensory complex in HepG2 cells which regulates the production of erythropoietin, we have microinjected recombinant variants of the human small GTP-binding protein hRac1 and measured their effects on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the dihydrorhodamine-123 technique. The dominant-negative mutant hRac1(T17N) inhibits the NADH-stimulated production of ROS in HepG2 cells, whereas the constitutively activated hRac1(G12V) leads to an increase in intracellular ROS concentration. Reverse transcriptase PCR analysis showed that the hRac1, but not the hRac2, gene is expressed in HepG2 cells. These results demonstrate that hRac1, and not hRac2, is involved in the regulation of ROS production in HepG2 cells and suggest that hRac1 specifically functions in the non-phagocytic NAD(P)H oxidase complex.

Spatially-resolved intracellular sensing of hydrogen peroxide in living cells.

Project description:Understanding intracellular redox chemistry requires new tools for the site-specific visualization of intracellular oxidation. We have developed a spatially-resolved intracellular sensor of hydrogen peroxide, HyPer-Tau, for time-resolved imaging in live cells. This sensor consists of a hydrogen peroxide-sensing protein tethered to microtubules. We demonstrate the use of the HyPer-Tau sensor for three applications; dose-dependent response of human cells to exogenous hydrogen peroxide, a model immune response of mouse macrophages to stimulation by bacterial toxin, and a spatially-resolved response to localized delivery of hydrogen peroxide. These results demonstrate that HyPer-Tau can be used as an effective tool for tracking changes in spatially localized intracellular hydrogen peroxide and for future applications in redox signaling.

Identification of MicroRNAs Involved in Growth Arrest and Apoptosis in Hydrogen Peroxide-Treated Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Line HepG2.

Project description:Although both oxidative stress and microRNAs (miRNAs) play vital roles in physiological and pathological processes, little is known about the interactions between them. In this study, we first described the regulation of H2O2 in cell viability, proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2. Then, miRNAs expression was profiled after H2O2 treatment. The results showed that high concentration of H2O2 (600 μM) could decrease cell viability, inhibit cell proliferation, induce cell cycle arrest, and finally promote cell apoptosis. Conversely, no significant effects could be found under treatment with low concentration (30 μM). miRNAs array analysis identified 131 differentially expressed miRNAs (125 were upregulated and 6 were downregulated) and predicted 13504 putative target genes of the deregulated miRNAs. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the putative target genes were associated with H2O2-induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis. The subsequent bioinformatics analysis indicated that H2O2-response pathways, including MAPK signaling pathway, apoptosis, and pathways in cancer and cell cycle, were significantly affected. Overall, these results provided comprehensive information on the biological function of H2O2 treatment in HepG2 cells. The identification of miRNAs and their putative targets may offer new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for liver cancer.

Quantifying intracellular hydrogen peroxide perturbations in terms of concentration.

Project description:Molecular level, mechanistic understanding of the roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a variety of pathological conditions is hindered by the difficulties associated with determining the concentration of various ROS species. Here, we present an approach that converts fold-change in the signal from an intracellular sensor of hydrogen peroxide into changes in absolute concentration. The method uses extracellular additions of peroxide and an improved biochemical measurement of the gradient between extracellular and intracellular peroxide concentrations to calibrate the intracellular sensor. By measuring peroxiredoxin activity, we found that this gradient is 650-fold rather than the 7-10-fold that is widely cited. The resulting calibration is important for understanding the mass-action kinetics of complex networks of redox reactions, and it enables meaningful characterization and comparison of outputs from endogenous peroxide generating tools and therapeutics across studies.

Red fluorescent genetically encoded indicator for intracellular hydrogen peroxide.

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are conserved regulators of numerous cellular functions, and overproduction of ROS is a hallmark of various pathological processes. Genetically encoded fluorescent probes are unique tools to study ROS production in living systems of different scale and complexity. However, the currently available recombinant redox sensors have green emission, which overlaps with the spectra of many other probes. Expanding the spectral range of recombinant in vivo ROS probes would enable multiparametric in vivo ROS detection. Here we present the first genetically encoded red fluorescent sensor for hydrogen peroxide detection, HyPerRed. The performance of this sensor is similar to its green analogues. We demonstrate the utility of the sensor by tracing low concentrations of H2O2 produced in the cytoplasm of cultured cells upon growth factor stimulation. Moreover, using HyPerRed we detect local and transient H2O2 production in the mitochondrial matrix upon inhibition of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) uptake.

Roles of intracellular hydrogen peroxide accumulation in abscisic acid signaling in Arabidopsis guard cells.

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), are among the important second messengers in abscisic acid (ABA) signaling in guard cells. In this study, to investigate specific roles of H(2)O(2) in ABA signaling in guard cells, we examined the effects of mutations in the guard cell-expressed catalase (CAT) genes, CAT1 and CAT3, and of the CAT inhibitor 3-aminotriazole (AT) on stomatal movement. The cat3 and cat1 cat3 mutations significantly reduced CAT activities, leading to higher basal level of H(2)O(2) in guard cells, when assessed by 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein, whereas they did not affect stomatal aperture size under non-stressed condition. In addition, AT-treatment at concentrations that abolish CAT activities, showed trivial affect on stomatal aperture size, while basal H(2)O(2) level increased extensively. In contrast, cat mutations and AT-treatment potentiated ABA-induced stomatal closure. Inducible ROS production triggered by ABA was observed in these mutants and wild type as well as in AT-treated guard cells. These results suggest that ABA-inducible cytosolic H(2)O(2) elevation functions in ABA-induced stomatal closure, while constitutive increase of H(2)O(2) do not cause stomatal closure.

Real-time imaging of intracellular hydrogen peroxide in pancreatic islets.

Project description:A real-time method to measure intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) would be very impactful in characterizing rapid changes that occur in physiologic and pathophysiologic states. Current methods do not provide the sensitivity, specificity and spatiotemporal resolution needed for such experiments on intact cells. We developed the use of HyPer, a genetic indicator for H2O2 that can be expressed in the cytosol (cyto-HyPer) or the mitochondria (mito-HyPer) of live cells. INS-1 cells or islets were permeabilized and the cytosolic HyPer signal was a linear function of extracellular H2O2, allowing fluorescent cyto-HyPer signals to be converted into H2O2 concentrations. Glucose increased cytosolic H2O2, an effect that was suppressed by overexpression of catalase. Large perturbations in pH can influence the HyPer signal, but inclusion of HEPES [4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid] in the perfusate prevented pH changes, but did not affect glucose-induced cyto-HyPer signals, suggesting that this effect is largely pH-independent. Using the assay, two fundamental questions were addressed. Knockdown of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), the mitochondrial form of SOD, completely suppressed glucose-induced H2O2 Furthermore, glucose also induced mitochondrial superoxide and H2O2 production, which preceded the appearance of cytosolic H2O2 Therefore, glucose-induced H2O2 largely originated from mitochondria. Finally, the glucose-induced HyPer signal was less than 1/20th of that induced by toxic levels of H2O2 Overall, the use of HyPer for real-time imaging allowed resolution of acute changes in intracellular levels of H2O2 and will have great utility for islet studies involving mechanisms of H2O2-mediated signaling and oxidative stress.

Aquaporin-3 mediates hydrogen peroxide uptake to regulate downstream intracellular signaling.

Project description:Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) produced by cell-surface NADPH Oxidase (Nox) enzymes is emerging as an important signaling molecule for growth, differentiation, and migration processes. However, how cells spatially regulate H(2)O(2) to achieve physiological redox signaling over nonspecific oxidative stress pathways is insufficiently understood. Here we report that the water channel Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) can facilitate the uptake of H(2)O(2) into mammalian cells and mediate downstream intracellular signaling. Molecular imaging with Peroxy Yellow 1 Methyl-Ester (PY1-ME), a new chemoselective fluorescent indicator for H(2)O(2), directly demonstrates that aquaporin isoforms AQP3 and AQP8, but not AQP1, can promote uptake of H(2)O(2) specifically through membranes in mammalian cells. Moreover, we show that intracellular H(2)O(2) accumulation can be modulated up or down based on endogenous AQP3 expression, which in turn can influence downstream cell signaling cascades. Finally, we establish that AQP3 is required for Nox-derived H(2)O(2) signaling upon growth factor stimulation. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that the downstream intracellular effects of H(2)O(2) can be regulated across biological barriers, a discovery that has broad implications for the controlled use of this potentially toxic small molecule for beneficial physiological functions.

Effects of the cyclophilin-type peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase from Pyropia yezoensis against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells.

Project description:The present study aimed to describe the expression and purification of cyclophilin-type peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPI) from the red alga Pyropia yezoensis. The antioxidant activity of the purified protein was also demonstrated, based on its ability to act against oxidative stress in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. HepG2 cells that were treated with recombinant PPI protein exhibited a reduction in the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‑mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS). In HepG2 cells, treatment of recombinant PPI protein expression diminished H2O2‑mediated oxidative stress and restored both the expression and the activity of certain antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and thioredoxin reductase (TRR). CAT, SOD and TRR activities were upregulated by treatment with the purified protein. CAT mRNA expression was significantly increased in HepG2 cells treated with recombinant PPI protein. These enzymes are the first line of antioxidant defense against ROS generated in times of oxidative stress. Accordingly, data from the present study indicate that the recombinant PPI protein is able to regulate the expression of antioxidant enzymes. Recombinant PPI has antioxidant properties that prevent oxidative stress‑induced toxicity, enhance cell viability, decrease ROS production and inhibit oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction in HepG2 cells. Therefore, the present study hypothesizes that the recombinant PPI protein has the potential to protect the liver against oxidative stress‑induced cell damage and should be considered as an antioxidant.

MARCKS protein mediates hydrogen peroxide regulation of endothelial permeability.

Project description:Impairment of endothelial barrier function is implicated in many vascular and inflammatory disorders. One prevalent mechanism of endothelial dysfunction is an increase in reactive oxygen species under oxidative stress. Previous reports have demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), a highly stable reactive oxygen species that modulates physiological signaling pathways, also enhances endothelial permeability, but the mechanism of this effect is unknown. Here, we identify the actin-binding protein myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) as a key mediator of the H(2)O(2)-induced permeability change in bovine aortic endothelial cells. MARCKS knockdown and H(2)O(2) treatment alter the architecture of the actin cytoskeleton in endothelial cells, and H(2)O(2) induces the phosphorylation and translocation of MARCKS from the cell membrane to the cytosol. Using pharmacological inhibitors and small interference RNA constructs directed against specific proteins, we uncover a signaling cascade from Rac1 to Abl1, phospholipase C?1, and PKC? that is triggered by H(2)O(2) and leads to MARCKS phosphorylation. Our findings establish a distinct role for MARCKS in the regulation of H(2)O(2)-induced permeability change in endothelial cells, and suggest potential new therapeutic targets for the treatment of disorders involving oxidative stress and altered endothelial permeability.
