Reactive oxygen species mediate the down-regulation of mitochondrial transcripts and proteins by tumour necrosis factor-alpha in L929 cells.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we show that reactive oxygen species production induced by tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in L929 cells was associated with a decrease in the steady-state mRNA levels of the mitochondrial transcript ATPase 6-8. Simultaneously, the transcript levels of two nuclear-encoded glycolytic enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and phosphofructokinase, were increased. These changes were associated with decreased protein levels of the ATPase subunit a (encoded by the mitochondrial ATPase 6 gene) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit II, and increased protein levels of phosphofructokinase. Since TNF-alpha had no effect on the amount of mitochondrial DNA, the results suggested that TNF-alpha acted at the transcriptional and/or post-transcriptional level. Reactive oxygen species scavengers, such as butylated hydroxianisole and butylated hydroxytoluene, blocked the production of free radicals, prevented the down-regulation of ATPase 6-8 transcripts, preserved the protein levels of ATPase subunit a and cytochrome c oxidase subunit II, and attenuated the cytotoxic response to TNF-alpha, indicating a direct link between these two phenomena.

Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Mediate Lysophosphatidylcholine-Induced Endothelial Cell Activation.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Hyperlipidemia-induced endothelial cell (EC) activation is considered as an initial event responsible for monocyte recruitment in atherogenesis. However, it remains poorly defined what is the mechanism underlying hyperlipidemia-induced EC activation. Here, we tested a novel hypothesis that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) serve as signaling mediators for EC activation in early atherosclerosis. APPROACH AND RESULTS:Metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses revealed that several lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) species, such as 16:0, 18:0, and 18:1, and their processing enzymes, including Pla2g7 and Pla2g4c, were significantly induced in the aortas of apolipoprotein E knockout mice during early atherosclerosis. Using electron spin resonance and flow cytometry, we found that LPC 16:0, 18:0, and 18:1 induced mtROS in primary human aortic ECs, independently of the activities of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase. Mechanistically, using confocal microscopy and Seahorse XF mitochondrial analyzer, we showed that LPC induced mtROS via unique calcium entry-mediated increase of proton leak and mitochondrial O2 reduction. In addition, we found that mtROS contributed to LPC-induced EC activation by regulating nuclear binding of activator protein-1 and inducing intercellular adhesion molecule-1 gene expression in vitro. Furthermore, we showed that mtROS inhibitor MitoTEMPO suppressed EC activation and aortic monocyte recruitment in apolipoprotein E knockout mice using intravital microscopy and flow cytometry methods. CONCLUSIONS:ATP synthesis-uncoupled, but proton leak-coupled, mtROS increase mediates LPC-induced EC activation during early atherosclerosis. These results indicate that mitochondrial antioxidants are promising therapies for vascular inflammation and cardiovascular diseases.

Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Mediate Cardiac Structural, Functional, and Mitochondrial Consequences of Diet-Induced Metabolic Heart Disease.

Project description:BackgroundMitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) are associated with metabolic heart disease (MHD). However, the mechanism by which ROS cause MHD is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that mitochondrial ROS are a key mediator of MHD.Methods and resultsMice fed a high-fat high-sucrose (HFHS) diet develop MHD with cardiac diastolic and mitochondrial dysfunction that is associated with oxidative posttranslational modifications of cardiac mitochondrial proteins. Transgenic mice that express catalase in mitochondria and wild-type mice were fed an HFHS or control diet for 4 months. Cardiac mitochondria from HFHS-fed wild-type mice had a 3-fold greater rate of H2O2 production (P=0.001 versus control diet fed), a 30% decrease in complex II substrate-driven oxygen consumption (P=0.006), 21% to 23% decreases in complex I and II substrate-driven ATP synthesis (P=0.01), and a 62% decrease in complex II activity (P=0.002). In transgenic mice that express catalase in mitochondria, all HFHS diet-induced mitochondrial abnormalities were ameliorated, as were left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction. In HFHS-fed wild-type mice complex II substrate-driven ATP synthesis and activity were restored ex vivo by dithiothreitol (5 mmol/L), suggesting a role for reversible cysteine oxidative posttranslational modifications. In vitro site-directed mutation of complex II subunit B Cys100 or Cys103 to redox-insensitive serines prevented complex II dysfunction induced by ROS or high glucose/high palmitate in the medium.ConclusionMitochondrial ROS are pathogenic in MHD and contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction, at least in part, by causing oxidative posttranslational modifications of complex I and II proteins including reversible oxidative posttranslational modifications of complex II subunit B Cys100 and Cys103.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species mediate GPCR-induced TACE/ADAM17-dependent transforming growth factor-alpha shedding.

Project description:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation by GPCRs regulates many important biological processes. ADAM metalloprotease activity has been implicated as a key step in transactivation, yet the regulatory mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we investigate the regulation of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) shedding by reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the ATP-dependent activation of the P2Y family of GPCRs. We report that ATP stimulates TGF-alpha proteolysis with concomitant EGFR activation and that this process requires TACE/ADAM17 activity in both murine fibroblasts and CHO cells. ATP-induced TGF-alpha shedding required calcium and was independent of Src family kinases and PKC and MAPK signaling. Moreover, ATP-induced TGF-alpha shedding was completely inhibited by scavengers of ROS, whereas calcium-stimulated shedding was partially inhibited by ROS scavenging. Hydrogen peroxide restored TGF-alpha shedding after calcium chelation. Importantly, we also found that ATP-induced shedding was independent of the cytoplasmic NADPH oxidase complex. Instead, mitochondrial ROS production increased in response to ATP and mitochondrial oxidative complex activity was required to activate TACE-dependent shedding. These results reveal an essential role for mitochondrial ROS in regulating GPCR-induced growth factor shedding.

Human fibroblasts release reactive oxygen species in response to interleukin-1 or tumour necrosis factor-alpha.

Project description:Human fibroblasts in primary culture released reactive oxygen species upon stimulation with cytokines such as interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1) or tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF). The primary radical produced was O2.- as determined by e.s.r. spin trapping and cytochrome c reduction. In contrast to the oxidative burst in granulocytes and monocytes, radical formation took place continuously for at least 4 h. Low-level chemiluminescence was increased by stimulation with IL-1 and TNF. Spectral characteristics and tests with azide led to the conclusion that the photoemissive species were excited carbonyls and not singlet oxygen. Further, there was a liberation of ethane from the cells. Radical production and light emission were not altered by either xanthine or allopurinol, nor by azide, cyanide or rotenone. O2.- production increased in the presence of NADH or NADPH, making an NAD(P)H oxidase a likely source.

BRCA1 down-regulates cellular levels of reactive oxygen species.

Project description:Previous studies have shown that the breast cancer suppressor BRCA1 stimulates antioxidant gene expression and protects cells against oxidative stress. To further examine this important function, we tested whether BRCA1 could modulate intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Wild-type BRCA1 (but not a cancer-associated mutant) significantly reduced ROS levels, determined by DCF fluorescence assays by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. The BRCA1 and REF1 pathways for reduction of ROS levels appear to exhibit cross-talk. BRCA1 also reduced the levels of protein nitration and H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative damage to DNA. Thus, BRCA1 may protect cellular macromolecules by reducing intracellular ROS levels.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species regulate mitochondrial biogenesis in porcine embryos.

Project description:The number of mitochondria in blastocysts is a potential marker of embryo quality. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the mitochondrial number in embryos are unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels on mitochondrial biogenesis in porcine embryos. Oocytes were collected from gilt ovaries and activated to generate over 4 cell-stage embryos at day 2 after activation. These embryos were cultured in media containing either 0.1 μM MitoTEMPOL (MitoT), 0.5 μM Mitoquinol (MitoQ), or vehicle (ethanol) for 5 days to determine the rate of development to the blastocyst stage. The mitochondrial number in blastocysts was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Five days after activation, the embryos (early morula stage) were subjected to immunostaining to determine the expression levels of NRF2 in the nucleus. In addition, the expression levels of PGC1α and TFAM in the embryos were examined by reverse transcription PCR. One day of incubation with the antioxidants reduced the ROS content in the embryos but did not affect the rate of development to the blastocyst stage. Blastocysts developed in medium containing MitoT had lower mitochondrial DNA copy numbers and ATP content, whereas MitoQ showed similar but insignificantly trends. Treatment of embryos with either MitoT or MitoQ decreased the expression levels of NRF2 in the nucleus and levels of PGC1α and TFAM. These findings indicate that reductions in mitochondrial ROS levels are associated with low mitochondrial biogenesis in embryos.

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species regulate the temporal activation of nuclear factor kappaB to modulate tumour necrosis factor-induced apoptosis: evidence from mitochondria-targeted antioxidants.

Project description:ROS (reactive oxygen species) from mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial sources have been implicated in TNFalpha (tumour necrosis factor alpha)-mediated signalling. In the present study, a new class of specific mitochondria-targeted antioxidants were used to explore directly the role of mitochondrial ROS in TNF-induced apoptosis. MitoVit E {[2-(3,4-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)ethyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide} (vitamin E attached to a lipophilic cation that facilitates accumulation of the antioxidant in the mitochondrial matrix) enhanced TNF-induced apoptosis of U937 cells. In time course analyses, cleavage and activation of caspase 8 in response to TNF were not affected by MitoVit E, whereas the activation of caspase 3 was significantly increased. Furthermore, there was an increased cleavage of the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bid and an increased release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, in cells treated with TNF in the presence of MitoVit E. We considered several mechanisms by which MitoVit E might accelerate TNF-induced apoptosis including mitochondrial integrity (ATP/ADP levels and permeability transition), alterations in calcium homoeostasis and transcription factor activation. Of these, only the transcription factor NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB) was implicated. TNF caused maximal nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB within 15 min, compared with 1 h in cells pretreated with MitoVit E. Thus the accumulation of an antioxidant within the mitochondrial matrix enhances TNF-induced apoptosis by decreasing or delaying the expression of the protective antiapoptotic proteins. These results demonstrate that mitochondrial ROS production is a physiologically relevant component of the TNF signal-transduction pathway during apoptosis, and reveal a novel functional role for mitochondrial ROS as a temporal regulator of NF-kappaB activation and NF-kappaB-dependent antiapoptotic signalling.

Are mitochondrial reactive oxygen species required for autophagy?

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are said to participate in the autophagy signaling. Supporting evidence is obscured by interference of autophagy and apoptosis, whereby the latter heavily relies on ROS signaling. To dissect autophagy from apoptosis we knocked down expression of cytochrome c, the key component of mitochondria-dependent apoptosis, in HeLa cells using shRNA. In cytochrome c deficient HeLa1.2 cells, electron transport was compromised due to the lack of electron shuttle between mitochondrial respiratory complexes III and IV. A rapid and robust LC3-I/II conversion and mitochondria degradation were observed in HeLa1.2 cells treated with staurosporine (STS). Neither generation of superoxide nor accumulation of H(2)O(2) was detected in STS-treated HeLa1.2 cells. A membrane permeable antioxidant, PEG-SOD, plus catalase exerted no effect on STS-induced LC3-I/II conversion and mitochondria degradation. Further, STS caused autophagy in mitochondria DNA-deficient ?° HeLa1.2 cells in which both electron transport and ROS generation were completely disrupted. Counter to the widespread view, we conclude that mitochondrial ROS are not required for the induction of autophagy.

Metabolic determinants of cellular fitness dependent on mitochondrial reactive oxygen species

Project description:Mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species (mROS) are required for the survival, proliferation, and metastasis of cancer cells. The mechanism by which mitochondrial metabolism regulates mROS levels to support cancer cells is not fully understood. To address this, we conducted a metabolism-focused CRISPR/Cas9 genetic screen and uncovered that loss of genes encoding subunits of mitochondrial complex I were deleterious in the presence of the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito-Vitamin E (MVE). Genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of mitochondrial complex I in combination with the mitochondria-targeted antioxidants, MVE or MitoTEMPO, induced a robust integrated stress response (ISR) and markedly diminished cell survival and proliferation in vitro. Notably, this was not observed following inhibition of mitochondrial complex III. Administration of MitoTEMPO in combination with the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor phenformin decreased the leukemic burden in a mouse model of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Thus, mitochondrial complex I is a dominant metabolic determinant of mROS-dependent cellular fitness.

Expression of Reactive Oxygen Species-Related Transcripts in Egyptian Children With Autism.

Project description:The molecular basis of the pathophysiological role of oxidative stress in autism is understudied. Herein, we used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array to analyze transcriptional pattern of 84 oxidative stress genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cell pools isolated from 32 autistic patients (16 mild/moderate and 16 severe) and 16 healthy subjects (each sample is a pool from 4 autistic patients or 4 controls). The PCR array data were further validated by quantitative real-time PCR in 80 autistic children (55 mild/moderate and 25 severe) and 60 healthy subjects. Our data revealed downregulation in GCLM, SOD2, NCF2, PRNP, and PTGS2 transcripts (1.5, 3.8, 1.2, 1.7, and 2.2, respectively; P < .05 for all) in autistic group compared with controls. In addition, TXN and FTH1 exhibited 1.4- and 1.7-fold downregulation, respectively, in severe autistic patients when compared with mild/moderate group (P = .005 and .0008, respectively). This study helps in a better understanding of the underlying biology and related genetic factors of autism, and most importantly, it presents suggested candidate biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis purposes as well as targets for therapeutic intervention.
