Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1P2) attenuates reactive oxygen species formation and inhibits cell death: implications for otoprotective therapy.

ABSTRACT: Ototoxic drugs, such as platinum-based chemotherapeutics, often lead to permanent hearing loss through apoptosis of neuroepithelial hair cells and afferent neurons of the cochlea. There is no approved therapy for preventing or reversing this process. Our previous studies identified a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), S1P2, as a potential mediator of otoprotection. We therefore sought to identify a pharmacological approach to prevent cochlear degeneration via activation of S1P2. The cochleae of S1pr2(-/-) knockout mice were evaluated for accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with a nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) assay. This showed that loss of S1P2 results in accumulation of ROS that precedes progressive cochlear degeneration as previously reported. These findings were supported by in vitro cell-based assays to evaluate cell viability, induction of apoptosis, and accumulation of ROS following activation of S1P2 in the presence of cisplatin. We show for the first time, that activation of S1P2 with a selective receptor agonist increases cell viability and reduces cisplatin-mediated cell death by reducing ROS. Cumulatively, these results suggest that S1P2 may serve as a therapeutic target for attenuating cisplatin-mediated ototoxicity.

Oxygen metabolism and reactive oxygen species cause chromosomal rearrangements and cell death.

Project description:The absence of Tsa1, a key peroxiredoxin that functions to scavenge H(2)O(2) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, causes the accumulation of a broad spectrum of mutations including gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs). Deletion of TSA1 also causes synthetic lethality in combination with mutations in RAD6 and several key genes involved in DNA double-strand break repair. In the present study we investigated the causes of GCRs and cell death in these mutants. tsa1-associated GCRs were independent of the activity of the translesion DNA polymerases zeta, eta, and Rev1. Anaerobic growth reduced substantially GCR rates of WT and tsa1 mutants and restored the viability of tsa1 rad6, tsa1 rad51, and tsa1 mre11 double mutants. Anaerobic growth also reduced the GCR rate of rad27, pif1, and rad52 mutants, indicating a role of reactive oxygen species in GCR formation in these mutants. In addition, deletion of TSA1 or H(2)O(2) treatment of WT cells resulted in increased formation of Rad52 foci, sites of repair of multiple DNA lesions. H(2)O(2) treatment also induced the GCRs. Our results provide in vivo evidence that oxygen metabolism and reactive oxygen species are important sources of DNA damages that can lead to GCRs and lethal effects in S. cerevisiae.

Salicylic acid signaling inhibits apoplastic reactive oxygen species signaling.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are used by plants as signaling molecules during stress and development. Given the amount of possible challenges a plant face from their environment, plants need to activate and prioritize between potentially conflicting defense signaling pathways. Until recently, most studies on signal interactions have focused on phytohormone interaction, such as the antagonistic relationship between salicylic acid (SA)-jasmonic acid and cytokinin-auxin. RESULTS: In this study, we report an antagonistic interaction between SA signaling and apoplastic ROS signaling. Treatment with ozone (O3) leads to a ROS burst in the apoplast and induces extensive changes in gene expression and elevation of defense hormones. However, Arabidopsis thaliana dnd1 (defense no death1) exhibited an attenuated response to O3. In addition, the dnd1 mutant displayed constitutive expression of defense genes and spontaneous cell death. To determine the exact process which blocks the apoplastic ROS signaling, double and triple mutants involved in various signaling pathway were generated in dnd1 background. Simultaneous elimination of SA-dependent and SA-independent signaling components from dnd1 restored its responsiveness to O3. Conversely, pre-treatment of plants with SA or using mutants that constitutively activate SA signaling led to an attenuation of changes in gene expression elicited by O3. CONCLUSIONS: Based upon these findings, we conclude that plants are able to prioritize the response between ROS and SA via an antagonistic action of SA and SA signaling on apoplastic ROS signaling.

Phenethyl isothiocyanate inhibits oxidative phosphorylation to trigger reactive oxygen species-mediated death of human prostate cancer cells.

Project description:Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a constituent of edible cruciferous vegetables such as watercress, not only affords significant protection against chemically induced cancer in experimental rodents but also inhibits growth of human cancer cells by causing apoptotic and autophagic cell death. However, the underlying mechanism of PEITC-induced cell death is not fully understood. Using LNCaP and PC-3 human prostate cancer cells as a model, we demonstrate that the PEITC-induced cell death is initiated by production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting from inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Exposure of LNCaP and PC-3 cells to pharmacologic concentrations of PEITC resulted in ROS production, which correlated with inhibition of complex III activity, suppression of OXPHOS, and ATP depletion. These effects were not observed in a representative normal human prostate epithelial cell line (PrEC). The ROS production by PEITC treatment was not influenced by cyclosporin A. The Rho-0 variants of LNCaP and PC-3 cells were more resistant to PEITC-mediated ROS generation, apoptotic DNA fragmentation, and collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential compared with respective wild-type cells. The PEITC treatment resulted in activation of Bax in wild-type LNCaP and PC-3 cells, but not in their respective Rho-0 variants. Furthermore, RNA interference of Bax and Bak conferred significant protection against PEITC-induced apoptosis. The Rho-0 variants of LNCaP and PC-3 cells also resisted PEITC-mediated autophagy. In conclusion, the present study provides novel insight into the molecular circuitry of PEITC-induced cell death involving ROS production due to inhibition of complex III and OXPHOS.

Post-stress bacterial cell death mediated by reactive oxygen species.

Project description:Antimicrobial efficacy, which is central to many aspects of medicine, is being rapidly eroded by bacterial resistance. Since new resistance can be induced by antimicrobial action, highly lethal agents that rapidly reduce bacterial burden during infection should help restrict the emergence of resistance. To improve lethal activity, recent work has focused on toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) as part of the bactericidal activity of diverse antimicrobials. We report that when Escherichia coli was subjected to antimicrobial stress and the stressor was subsequently removed, both ROS accumulation and cell death continued to occur. Blocking ROS accumulation by exogenous mitigating agents slowed or inhibited poststressor death. Similar results were obtained with a temperature-sensitive mutational inhibition of DNA replication. Thus, bacteria exposed to lethal stressors may not die during treatment, as has long been thought; instead, death can occur after plating on drug-free agar due to poststress ROS-mediated toxicity. Examples are described in which (i) primary stress-mediated damage was insufficient to kill bacteria due to repair; (ii) ROS overcame repair (i.e., protection from anti-ROS agents was reduced by repair deficiencies); and (iii) killing was reduced by anti-oxidative stress genes acting before stress exposure. Enzymatic suppression of poststress ROS-mediated lethality by exogenous catalase supports a causal rather than a coincidental role for ROS in stress-mediated lethality, thereby countering challenges to ROS involvement in antimicrobial killing. We conclude that for a variety of stressors, lethal action derives, at least in part, from stimulation of a self-amplifying accumulation of ROS that overwhelms the repair of primary damage.

Loss of sphingosine kinase-1 in carcinoma cells increases formation of reactive oxygen species and sensitivity to doxorubicin-induced DNA damage.

Project description:Background and purposeSphingosine kinases (SK) catalyse the formation of sphingosine 1-phosphate, which is a key lipid mediator regulating cell responses such as proliferation, survival and migration. Here we have investigated the effect of targeted inhibition of SK-1 on cell damage and elucidated the mechanisms involved.Experimental approachThree human carcinoma cell lines (colon HCT-116, breast MDA-MB-231, lung NCI-H358) were used, which were either transduced with shRNA constructs to deplete SK-1, or treated with a SK-1 inhibitor. Cell growth and viability were assayed by [(3) H]thymidine incorporation and colony formation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured by fluorescence and apoptosis by annexin V with flow cytometry. Proteins were analysed by Western blotting. DNA damage was induced by doxorubicin.Key resultsKnock-down of SK-1 by shRNA strongly inhibited DNA synthesis and colony formation of carcinoma cells. SK-1 knock-down (SK-1kd) cells revealed dysfunctional extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase and PKB/Akt cascades, and contained increased levels of ROS. After SK-1kd, treatment with doxorubicin increased DNA damage, measured by histone-2AX phosphorylation. Similar effects were found in cells with a SK-1 inhibitor and doxorubicin. The increased damage response in SK-1kd cells was accompanied by greater reduction of DNA synthesis and colony formation, and by more pronounced apoptosis. Addition of a NADPH oxidase inhibitor reduced the increased apoptosis in doxorubicin-treated SK-1kd cells.Conclusions and implicationsSK-1kd in carcinoma cells triggered oxidative stress by increasing intracellular Ros production. Targeted inhibition of SK-1 represents a promising approach to sensitize cells to DNA damage and facilitate apoptosis upon doxorubicin treatment.

A prochelator activated by beta-secretase inhibits Abeta aggregation and suppresses copper-induced reactive oxygen species formation.

Project description:The intersection of the amyloid cascade hypothesis and the implication of metal ions in Alzheimer's disease progression has sparked an interest in using metal-binding compounds as potential therapeutic agents. In the present work, we describe a prochelator SWH that is enzymatically activated by beta-secretase to produce a high affinity copper chelator CP. Because beta-secretase is responsible for the amyloidogenic processing of the amyloid precursor protein, this prochelator strategy imparts disease specificity toward copper chelation not possible with general metal chelators. Furthermore, once activated, CP efficiently sequesters copper from amyloid-beta, prevents and disassembles copper-induced amyloid-beta aggregation, and diminishes copper-promoted reactive oxygen species formation.

S1P3-mediated cardiac fibrosis in sphingosine kinase 1 transgenic mice involves reactive oxygen species.

Project description:AimsSphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1), its product sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), and S1P receptor subtypes have been suggested to play protective roles for cardiomyocytes in animal models of ischaemic preconditioning and cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion injury. To get more insight into roles for SPHK1 in vivo, we have generated SPHK1-transgenic (TG) mice and analysed the cardiac phenotype.Methods and resultsSPHK1-TG mice overexpressed SPHK1 in diverse tissues, with a nearly 20-fold increase in enzymatic activity. The TG mice grew normally with normal blood chemistry, cell counts, heart rate, and blood pressure. Unexpectedly, TG mice with high but not low expression levels of SPHK1 developed progressive myocardial degeneration and fibrosis, with upregulation of embryonic genes, elevated RhoA and Rac1 activity, stimulation of Smad3 phosphorylation, and increased levels of oxidative stress markers. Treatment of juvenile TG mice with pitavastatin, an established inhibitor of the Rho family G proteins, or deletion of S1P3, a major myocardial S1P receptor subtype that couples to Rho GTPases and transactivates Smad signalling, both inhibited cardiac fibrosis with concomitant inhibition of SPHK1-dependent Smad-3 phosphorylation. In addition, the anti-oxidant N-2-mercaptopropyonylglycine, which reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS), also inhibited cardiac fibrosis. In in vivo ischaemia/reperfusion injury, the size of myocardial infarct was 30% decreased in SPHK1-TG mice compared with wild-type mice.ConclusionThese results suggest that chronic activation of SPHK1-S1P signalling results in both pathological cardiac remodelling through ROS mediated by S1P3 and favourable cardioprotective effects.

VSIG4 inhibits RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis by suppressing Nrf2-mediated reactive oxygen species production

Project description:Osteoporosis is a common systemic skeletal disorder especially in postmenopausal women due to excessive production and activation of osteoclasts. However, current anti-osteoporotic drugs used in clinical practice may cause some side effects. Thus, it is necessary to further explore the potential mechanisms regulating the differentiation of osteoclast and develop novel targets for the treatment of osteoporosis. In our study, we found that VSIG4 exhibited the most significant decline among VSIG family members. Overexpression of VSIG4 significantly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption function. Mechanismly, the western blot and immunofluorescence results also showed that overexpression of VSIG4 attenuated the expression of osteoclast marker genes and the activation of MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. We found that overexpression of VSIG4 could suppress the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activate the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidant enzymes. ML385, a potent Nrf2 inhibitor, was found to reverse the inhibitory impact of VSIG4 on osteoclast differentiation. Consistently, overexpression of VSIG4 also rescued OVX-induced bone loss and attenuated the activation of osteoclasts in vivo. Taken together, our results indicated that VSIG4 could be an novel target to address postmenopausal osteoporosis by suppressing osteoclast formation via regulation of Nrf 2-mediated ROS generation.

Inhibition of Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 reduces reactive oxygen species production and attenuates aminoglycoside- and cisplatin-induced hair cell death.

Project description:Hair cells in the inner ear have been shown to be susceptible to ototoxicity from some beneficial pharmaceutical drugs, such as aminoglycosides and cisplatin. Thus, there is great interest in discovering new targets or compounds that protect hair cells from these ototoxic drugs. Epigenetic regulation is closely related to inner ear development; however, little is known about epigenetic regulation in the process of ototoxic drugs-induced hearing loss. Methods: In this study, we investigated the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) in aminoglycoside- and cisplatin-induced hair cell loss by using EPZ020411, a selective small molecule PRMT6 inhibitor, in vitro in neonatal mouse cochlear explants and in vivo in C57BL/6 mice. We also took advantage of the HEI-OC1 cell line to evaluate the anti-apoptosis effects of PRMT6 knockdown on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Apoptotic cells were identified using cleaved caspase-3 staining and TUNEL assay. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated by DCFH-DA and cellROX green staining. The mitochondrial membrane potential (??m) were determined by JC-1, TMRM, and rhodamine 123 staining. Results: We found that EPZ020411 significantly alleviated neomycin- and cisplatin-induced cell apoptosis and increased hair cell survival. Moreover, pretreatment with EPZ020411 could attenuate neomycin- and cisplatin-induced hearing loss in vivo. Mechanistic studies revealed that inhibition of PRMT6 could reverse the increased expression of caspase-3 and cytochrome c translocation, mitochondrial dysfunction, increased accumulation of ROS, and activation of cell apoptosis after cisplatin injury. Conclusions: Our findings suggested that PRMT6 might serve as a new therapeutic target to prevent hearing loss caused by aminoglycoside- and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by preventing ROS formation and modulating the mitochondria-related damage and apoptosis.

Contribution of reactive oxygen species to thymineless death in Escherichia coli.

Project description:Nutrient starvation usually halts cell growth rather than causing death. Thymine starvation is exceptional, because it kills cells rapidly. This phenomenon, called thymineless death (TLD), underlies the action of several antibacterial, antimalarial, anticancer, and immunomodulatory agents. Many explanations for TLD have been advanced, with recent efforts focused on recombination proteins and replication origin (oriC) degradation. Because current proposals account for only part of TLD and because reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in bacterial death due to other forms of harsh stress, we investigated the possible involvement of ROS in TLD. Here, we show that thymine starvation leads to accumulation of both single-stranded DNA regions and intracellular ROS, and interference with either event protects bacteria from double-stranded DNA breakage and TLD. Elevated levels of single-stranded DNA were necessary but insufficient for TLD, whereas reduction of ROS to background levels largely abolished TLD. We conclude that ROS contribute to TLD by converting single-stranded DNA lesions into double-stranded DNA breaks. Participation of ROS in the terminal phases of TLD provides a specific example of how ROS contribute to stress-mediated bacterial self-destruction.
