We have previously shown that the inflammatory mediator interleukin-1 suppressed transcription of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNAs (Barker, C.W., Fagan, J.B., and Pasco, D.S. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 8050-8055). Since many of the actions of inflammatory mediators are mimicked by oxidative stress, we treated isolated hepatocytes with 0.25-1.0 mM H2O2 to determine whether expression of these genes is also modulated by oxidative stress. Inducer-dependent accumulation of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNAs were maximally reduced approximately 50 and 70%, respectively, by 1.0 mM H2O2. Run-on transcription analysis suggested that the effect of H2O2 was mediated transcriptionally. The reduction in CYP1A mRNA levels was not due to a reduction in the levels of all mRNAs due to some general toxic effect since H2O2 did not reduce glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, alpha-tubulin, beta-fibrinogen, or albumin mRNA levels, and did not increase lactate dehydrogenase released into the medium. Insulin-mimicked H2O2 action, reducing the expression of both mRNAs, and N-acetylcysteine, which increases intracellular glutathione levels, completely reversed the insulin effect on both mRNAs and the H2O2 effect on CYP1A1 mRNA, but only partially reversed the H2O2 effect on CYP1A2 mRNA. This study indicates that the CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 genes are responsive to oxidative stress and that the majority of this responsiveness can be modified by cellular redox potential.

4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), one of the major products of membrane lipid peroxidation, has been shown recently to be present in a form covalently attached to proteins in the renal proximal tubules of rats treated with a renal carcinogen, ferric nitrilotriacetate (Toyokuni, S., et al. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91, 2616-2620; Uchida, K., et al. (1995) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 317, 405-411). In the present study, the mechanism of HNE cytotoxicity was studied using the renal tubular epithelial cells (LLC-PK1), focusing on the protein modification and alteration of cellular redox status induced by HNE. Upon treatment with HNE for 2 h, the LLC-PK1 cells were found to be resistant to the low concentration (10 microM) of HNE, while HNE at higher concentrations (> or = 50 microM) mediated cell death. The cytotoxicity of HNE appeared to be correlated with the HNE modification of cellular proteins. Among a number of proteins modified by HNE, a glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was detected as one of the major targets of HNE in the cells. On the other hand, exposure of LLC-PK1 cells to HNE resulted in rapid reduction of cellular glutathione (GSH) levels, suggesting that HNE influenced primarily the redox status of the cells. Depletion of GSH with buthionine sulfoximine, a potent suppressor of GSH biosynthesis, before HNE treatment caused the cells to be sensitive to HNE cytotoxicity and to HNE modification of cellular proteins, whereas the increase in intracellular GSH levels by treatment with N-acetylcysteine before HNE treatment resulted in a dose-dependent inhibition of HNE-mediated protein modification. These results suggest that intracellular GSH is a determinant on cellular resistance against the HNE-mediated cytotoxicity.

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether diabetic embryopathy may be associated with the inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) resulting from an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the embryo. Recent demonstrations of enhanced ROS production in mitochondria of bovine aortic endothelial cells exposed to high glucose have supported the idea that the pathogenesis of diabetic complications may involve ROS-induced GAPDH inhibition. We investigated whether a teratogenic diabetic environment also inhibits embryonic GAPDH activity and alters GAPDH gene expression and whether antioxidants diminish such GAPDH inhibition. In addition, we determined whether the inhibition of GAPDH with iodoacetate induces dysmorphogenesis, analogous to that caused by high glucose concentration, and whether antioxidants modulated the putative teratogenic effect of such direct GAPDH inhibition. We found that embryos from diabetic rats and embryos cultured in high glucose concentrations showed decreased activity of GAPDH (by 40-60%) and severe dysmorphogenesis on gestational days 10.5 and 11.5. GAPDH mRNA was decreased in embryos of diabetic rats compared to control embryos. Supplementing the high-glucose culture with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) increased GAPDH activity and diminished embryonic dysmorphogenesis. Embryos cultured with iodoacetate showed both decreased GAPDH activity and dysmorphogenesis; supplementing the culture with NAC increased both parameters toward normal values. In conclusion, dysmorphogenesis caused by maternal diabetes is correlated with ROS-induced inhibition of GAPDH in embryos, which could indicate that inhibition of GAPDH plays a causal role in diabetic embryopathy.

Calcitriol, the hormonal form of vitamin D, enhances the anticancer activity of the immune cytokine tumor necrosis factor, interleukin 1 and interleukin 6 in human breast and renal cell carcinoma cells without affecting the cytotoxic action of interferon-alpha or killer lymphocytes. It also enhances cytotoxicity induced by the anticancer drug doxorubicin, by the redox cycling quinone menadione, and by the reactive oxygen species hydrogen peroxide. The synergistic interaction was accompanied by increased oxidative stress, as manifested by glutathione depletion and was abolished by exposure to the thiol antioxidant N-acetylcysteine. The hormone on its own brought about an increase in the cellular redox state as reflected in the ratio between oxidized and reduced glutathione and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and a reduction in the expression of the antioxidant enzyme Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase. These results support the notion that the interplay between active vitamin D derivatives and other anticancer agents such as immune cytokines and anticancer drugs plays a role in the in vivo anticancer activity of vitamin D and that reactive oxygen species are involved in the anticancer activity of vitamin D on its own and in its cross-talk with other anticancer modalities.

We investigated the mechanisms by which two nitric oxide (NO) donors, diethylenetriamine/NO adduct (DETA/NO) and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), induced cell death in a J774 macrophage cell line. Both NO donors induced caspase activation within 6 h, but only DETA/NO-induced caspase activation was sensitive to inhibition of p38 and was completely prevented by antioxidants catalase, ascorbate, dehydroascorbate, or N-acetylcysteine, suggesting that DETA/NO-induced apoptosis may be mediated by H(2)O(2). Consistent with this, DETA/NO acutely stimulated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by mitochondria and cells, and inhibited catalase-mediated H(2)O(2) breakdown in cells. After prolonged, 24 h exposure of cells to DETA/NO, inactivation of caspases occurred, which was accompanied by an increase in necrosis. DETA/NO-induced necrosis was insensitive to caspase inhibitors, but was partially prevented by catalase or N-acetylcysteine, and was preceded by inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and a decrease in cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP). GSNO was even more potent in inhibiting glycolysis and switching apoptosis to necrosis. In cells depleted of glutathione, GSNO and DETA/NO induced rapid necrosis, which resulted from rapid depletion of ATP due to inhibition of glycolysis. Glycolytic intermediate 3-phosphoglycerate decreased DETA/NO-induced necrosis and increased apoptosis. We conclude that: (i). NO-induced apoptosis is mediated by H(2)O(2); (ii). NO-induced necrosis is mediated by energy failure speeded by thiol depletion.

Arsenite is well documented as a chemotherapeutic agent capable of inducing cell death. However, the cellular response at the molecular level has not been studied extensively. In the present study, we provide for the first time a proteomic analysis of rat LECs (lung epithelial cells) treated with arsenite, with the aim of identifying defence proteins, probably expressed to protect the cells during the course of arsenic-induced apoptosis. Comparative proteome analysis was conducted on LECs and LECs treated with 40 microM arsenite to identify global changes in their protein expression profiles. Over 1000 protein spots were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis and visualized by silver staining. Seven proteins changed expression levels significantly and were identified by matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and database searching. The proteins up-regulated were mostly HSPs (heat-shock proteins) and antioxidative stress proteins, including HSP70, aldose reductase, haem oxygenase-1, HSP27, ferritin light chain and alphaB-crystallin. The glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was down-regulated. Pretreatment with the thiol antioxidants glutathione or N-acetylcysteine before arsenite insult effectively abrogated the induction of these defence proteins and sustained cell viability, whereas antioxidants were protective only at earlier time points if they were added to cells after arsenite. Taken together, our results demonstrate that high levels of arsenite cause oxidative stress-induced apoptosis.

D-Glyceraldehyde (D-GLYC) is usually considered to be a stimulator of insulin secretion but theoretically can also form reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can inhibit beta cell function. We examined the time- and concentration-dependent effects of D-GLYC on insulin secretion, insulin content, and formation of ROS. We observed that a 2-h exposure to 0.05-2 mM D-GLYC potentiated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in isolated Wistar rat islets but that higher concentrations inhibited GSIS. A 24-h exposure to 2 mm D-GLYC inhibited GSIS, decreased insulin content, and increased intracellular peroxide levels (2.14 +/- 0.31-fold increase, n = 4, p < 0.05). N-Acetylcysteine (10 mM) prevented the increase in intracellular peroxides and the adverse effects of d-GLYC on GSIS. In the presence of 11.1 but not 3.0 mm glucose, koningic acid (10 microM), a specific glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase inhibitor, increased intracellular peroxide levels (1.88 +/- 0.30-fold increase, n = 9, p < 0.01) and inhibited GSIS (control GSIS = p < 0.001; koningic acid GSIS, not significant). To determine whether oxidative phosphorylation was the source of ROS formation, we cultured rat islets with mitochondrial inhibitors. Neither rotenone or myxothiazol prevented D-GLYC-induced increases in islet ROS. Adenoviral overexpression of manganese superoxide dismutase also failed to prevent the effect of D-GLYC to increase ROS levels. These observations indicate that exposure to excess D-GLYC increases reactive oxygen species in the islet via non-mitochondrial pathways and suggest the hypothesis that the oxidative stress associated with elevated D-GLYC levels could be a mechanism for glucose toxicity in beta cells exposed chronically to high glucose concentrations.

Protein tyrosine nitration is a post-translational modification that occurs under conditions of oxidative stress and may play a role in the pathogenesis of diseases such as asthma. Through their ability to generate reactive oxygen species in macrophages and epithelial cells, particulate pollutants, such as diesel exhaust particles (DEPs), may lead to a worsening of the asthmatic condition. In this study, we looked for evidence of oxidative modification of proteins in RAW 264.7 cell line treated with DEP chemicals. We show that the induction of oxidative stress is accompanied by 53 newly expressed proteins which are suppressed by a thiol antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine. These include antioxidant enzymes, pro-inflammatory components, and products of intermediary metabolism. In addition, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was identified as a biologically relevant oxidative stress protein that is induced concurrent with increased NO production and protein tyrosine-nitration in DEP-exposed RAW 264.7 cells. Utilizing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, anti-nitrotyrosine immunoblotting, and mass spectrometry led to the identification of an additional ten nitrotyrosine modified proteins, including oxidative stress proteins involved in intermediary metabolism (e.g., GAPDH and enolase), antioxidant defense (e.g., MnSOD) and inhibition of proteosomal activity (e.g., Hsp 90alpha). These oxidative proteins may serve as markers for oxidative stress generation in vivo.

Erythrocyte glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PD), is a glycolytic enzyme normally inhibited upon binding to the anion transporter Band 3 and activated when free in the cytosol. We have previously reported that ferric protoporphyrin IX (FP) enhances G3PD activity in human erythrocytes (RBC). This could be due to two mechanisms considered in this work: Band 3 tyrosine phosphorylation or oxidative damage of specific G3PD binding sites in the membrane. In both cases binding of G3PD to the membrane would be prevented, leading to the enhancement of G3PD activity. Here, we show that FP induces a dose- and time-dependent phosphorylation of tyrosine 8 and 21 of Band 3, as confirmed by the recruitment of SHP2 phosphatase to the membrane. It appears that Band 3 phosphorylation is due to the oxidation of critical sulfydryl groups of a membrane phosphatase (PTP). Data on membrane localization, Mg2+ dependence, sensitivity to thiol oxidizing agents and protection by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and DTT strongly suggest the involvement of PTP1B, the major PTP of human RBC associated to and acting on Band 3. However, FP activates G3PD even when Band 3 phosphorylation is inhibited, therefore phosphorylation is not the mechanism underlying G3PD activation by FP. The capacity of NAC of counteracting the stimulatory activity of FP, supports the hypothesis that FP might induce the oxidative damage of specific G3PD binding sites in the membrane, causing the displacement of the enzyme into the cytosol and/or the release from its binding site and therefore its activation.

The free-radical-operated mechanism of death of activated macrophages at sites of inflammation is unclear, but it is important to define it in order to find targets to prevent further tissue dysfunction. A well-defined model of macrophage activation at sites of inflammation is the treatment of RAW 264.7 cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), with the resulting production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS and other free radicals can be trapped with the nitrone spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), a cell-permeable probe with antioxidant properties, which thus interferes with free-radical-operated oxidation processes. Here we have used immuno-spin trapping to investigate the role of free-radical-operated protein oxidation in LPS-induced cytotoxicity in macrophages. Treatment of RAW 264.7 cells with LPS resulted in increased ROS production, oxidation of proteins, cell morphological changes and cytotoxicity. DMPO was found to trap protein radicals to form protein-DMPO nitrone adducts, to reduce protein carbonyls, and to block LPS-induced cell death. N-Acetylcysteine (a source of reduced glutathione), diphenyleneiodonium (an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase), and 2,2'-dipyridyl (a chelator of Fe(2+)) prevented LPS-induced oxidative stress and cell death and reduced DMPO-nitrone adduct formation, suggesting a critical role of ROS, metals, and protein-radical formation in LPS-induced cell cytotoxicity. We also determined the subcellular localization of protein-DMPO nitrone adducts and identified some candidate proteins for DMPO attachment by LC-MS/MS. The LC-MS/MS data are consistent with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, one of the most abundant, sensitive, and ubiquitous proteins in the cell, becoming labeled with DMPO when the cell is primed with LPS. This information will help find strategies to treat inflammation-associated tissue dysfunction by focusing on preventing free radical-operated proteotoxic stress and death of macrophages.
