Cellular metabolism of dopamine (DA) generates H2O2, which is further reduced to hydroxyl radicals in the presence of iron. Cellular damage inflicted by DA-derived hydroxyl radicals is thought to contribute to Parkinson's disease. We have previously developed procedures for detecting proteins that contain H2O2-sensitive cysteine (or selenocysteine) residues. Using these procedures, we identified ERP72 and ERP60, two members of the protein disulfide isomerase family, creatine kinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phospholipase C-gamma1, and thioredoxin reductase as the targets of DA-derived H2O2. Experiments with purified enzymes identified the essential Cys residues of creatine kinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, that are specifically oxidized by H2O2. Although the identified proteins represent only a fraction of the targets of DA-derived H2O2, functional impairment of these proteins has previously been associated with cell death. The oxidation of proteins that contain reactive Cys residues by DA-derived H2O2 is therefore proposed both to be largely responsible for DA-induced apoptosis in neuronal cells and to play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

Reaction of certain peptides and proteins with singlet oxygen (generated by visible light in the presence of rose bengal dye) yields long-lived peptide and protein peroxides. Incubation of these peroxides with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, in the absence of added metal ions, results in loss of enzymatic activity. Comparative studies with a range of peroxides have shown that this inhibition is concentration, peroxide, and time dependent, with H2O2 less efficient than some peptide peroxides. Enzyme inhibition correlates with loss of both the peroxide and enzyme thiol residues, with a stoichiometry of two thiols lost per peroxide consumed. Blocking the thiol residues prevents reaction with the peroxide. This stoichiometry, the lack of metal-ion dependence, and the absence of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-detectable species, is consistent with a molecular (nonradical) reaction between the active-site thiol of the enzyme and the peroxide. A number of low-molecular-mass compounds including thiols and ascorbate, but not Trolox C, can prevent inhibition by removing the initial peroxide, or species derived from it. In contrast, glutathione reductase and lactate dehydrogenase are poorly inhibited by these peroxides in the absence of added Fe2+-EDTA. The presence of this metal-ion complex enhanced the inhibition observed with these enzymes consistent with the occurrence of radical-mediated reactions. Overall, these studies demonstrate that singlet oxygen-mediated damage to an initial target protein can result in selective subsequent damage to other proteins, as evidenced by loss of enzymatic activity, via the formation and subsequent reactions of protein peroxides. These reactions may be important in the development of cellular dysfunction as a result of photo-oxidation.

Free radicals are reactive chemical species that differ from other compounds in that they have unpaired electrons in their outer orbitals. They are capable of damaging cellular components, and accumulating evidence suggests that they may contribute to various disease entities including inflammatory joint disease. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as reactive nitrogen species (RNS) can directly or indirectly damage basic articular constituents and lead to the clinical expression of the inflammatory arthritis. Hydroxyl radicals degrade isolated proteoglycans, and HOCl fragments collagen. Hydrogen peroxide, which is very diffusible, readily inhibits cartilage proteoglycan synthesis, e.g. by interfering with ATP synthesis, in part by inhibiting the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in chondrocytes, aggravating the effects of proteolytic and free-radical-mediated cartilage degradation. Peroxynitrite and HOCl may facilitate cartilage damages by inactivating TIMPs. TIMP-1 inhibits stromelysins, collagenases and gelatinases and this ability is lost after ONOO(-) or HOCl treatment. HOCl can also activate latent forms of neutrophil collagenases and gelatinase with obvious consequences. Hypochlorous acid, ONOO(-) and O(2)(*-) react with ascorbate, which is essential for cartilage function, leading to low levels of ascorbate in synovial fluid. Low concentrations of H2O(2), O(2)(*-) or both, accelerate bone resorption by osteoclasts, whereas NO. inhibits it. NO. promotes chondrocyte apoptosis, inhibits proteoglycan synthesis and activates latent metalloproteinases and cyclooxygenase. ROS, produced by activated phagocytes, could alter the antigenic behaviour of immunoglobulin G, producing fluorescent protein aggregates that can further activate phagocytic cells. Radical-exposed IgG is able to bind rheumatoid factor and results in the generation of C3alpha. This reaction may be self-perpetuating within the rheumatoid joint, suggesting that free radicals play a role in the chronicity of the inflammatory reaction which is a key question regarding to which extent free radicals contribute to the consequences of inflammation, such as the cartilage and bone destruction. Reactive oxygen intermediates can also function as signaling messengers to activate transcription factors, like NFkB and AP-1, and induce gene expression. All this knowledge might serve to apply a rational selection of antioxidants for possible therapeutic purposes, enforcing combination therapy of the inflammatory joint disease.

Elevated production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the central nervous system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, ischemic reperfusion, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. Pyruvic acid has a critical role in energy metabolism and a capability to nonenzymatically decarboxylate H2O2 into H2O. This study examined the effects of glycolytic regulation of pyruvic acid on H2O2 toxicity in murine neuroblastoma cells. Glycolytic energy substrates including D-(+)-glucose, D-(-) fructose and the adenosine transport blocker dipyridamole, were not effective in providing protection against H2O2 toxicity, negating energy as a factor. On the other hand, pyruvic acid completely prevented H2O2 toxicity, restoring the loss of ATP and cell viability. H2O2 toxicity was also attenuated by D-fructose 1,6 diphosphate (FBP), phospho (enol) pyruvate (PEP), niacinamide, beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (beta-NAD+), and reduced form (beta-NADH). Both FBP and PEP exerted positive kinetic effects on pyruvate kinase (PK) activity. Interestingly, only pyruvic acid and beta-NADH exhibited powerful stoichiometric H2O2 antioxidant properties. Further, beta-NADH may exert positive effects on PK activity. Subsequent pyruvic acid accumulation can lead to the recycling of beta-NAD+ through lactate dehydrogenase and beta-NADH through glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. It was concluded from these studies that intracellular pyruvic acid and beta-NADH appear to act in concert through glycolysis, to enhance H2O2 intracellular antioxidant capacity in neuroblastoma cells. Future research will be required to examine whether similar effects are observed in primary neuronal culture or intact tissue.

This study examined the influence of high light levels on antioxidant metabolism and the photosynthetic properties of Begonia x erythrophylla leaves. The pigment composition of shaded leaves and those developing in full sunlight was typical of shade- and sun-leaves, respectively. After 28 d in full sunlight, the preformed leaves of shade plants transferred to full sunlight (transferred-leaves) showed photo-bleaching with lower Chl (a + b) content and Chl a : Chl b ratios than shade-leaves, with Chl (a + b) : carotenoid ratios not significantly different. The variable/maximal fluorescence (Fv/Fm) of sun-leaves was not significantly different from that of shade-leaves, but transferred-leaves had reduced Fv : Fm ratios. Light response curves for the electron transport rate (ETR), the oxidation state of photosystem II (qP) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) showed significant differences between the three leaf types, with transferred-leaves not able to acclimate completely to full sunlight, having lower ETR, qP and NPQ values at high light levels than sun-leaves. Transfer to full sunlight caused a rapid increase in H2O2 and lipid hyperoxides, and a slight increase in protein oxidation. Ascorbate and glutathione levels decreased rapidly, as did the size of the total glutathione pool and, in addition to the general oxidation of proteins, rapid decreases in both the initial and total activities of chloroplastic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase were observed. These results suggest that a more oxidizing cellular environment is the likely cause of the photo-bleaching observed upon transfer of shade-leaves to full sunlight. Acclimation of transferred-leaves to full sunlight involved gradual increases in the activities of enzymes involved in antioxidant metabolism, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase and monodehydroascorbate reductase, but the levels of these enzymes still remained at levels lower than those found in sun-leaves.

As has been previously shown, Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown in 2% or 0.025% glucose uses this carbohydrate by the fermentative or oxidative pathways, respectively. Depending on the glucose concentration in the medium, the effect of the addition of H2O2 on the level of ATP and on glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) activity differed. In the presence of 2% glucose, ATP and GAPDH decreased sharply during the first few minutes of treatment, whereas in the presence of 0.025% glucose, GAPDH activity decreased similarly, but the ATP level remained practically unchanged. The addition of 3 mM glutathione to the culture media prevented the depletion of ATP levels and GAPDH activity in the presence of H2O2. Catalase and superoxide dismutase activities did not vary significantly when yeast cells were grown either in 2% or in 0.025% glucose.

The high-resolution two-dimensional protein gel electrophoresis technique combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used to analyse the oxidative stress response in Staphylococcus aureus COL. Exponentially growing cells were supplemented with 100 mM H2O2 leading to a growth arrest lasting 30 min. The comparison of the two-dimensional pattern of cytoplasmic protein extracts of stressed and unstressed cells revealed only a few changes in the protein synthesis profile. However, the isoelectric points of Gap (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase), AhpC (alkylhydroperoxide reductase) and MvaS (HMG-CoA-synthase) changed strikingly. For analysis of the modification of Gap, tandem hybrid mass spectrometry (Q-Star) was used. The observed pI shift resulted from the oxidation to sulphonic acid of cysteine 151, which is crucial for catalytic activity. A drop in ATP and a complete inactivation of Gap was accompanied by the growth arrest. About 30 min after the addition of H2O2, the damaged Gap was still present, but a new protein spot at the original location became visible, representing the newly synthesized enzyme that is active again. This is accompanied by the restoration of Gap enzyme activity, ATP levels and recovery of growth. There is a strong correlation between growth, ATP level and Gap activity under oxidative stress conditions, indicating that the H2O2-triggered Gap inactivation might be one reason for growth arrest under these conditions. Our data indicate that the damaged Gap protein was not repaired.

It has been demonstrated that estrogens are potent antioxidants and protect against H2O2-mediated depletion of intracellular ATP in human lens epithelial cells (HLE-B3) [Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 44 (2003) 2067]. To investigate the mechanism by which 17beta-estradiol (17beta-E2) protects against oxidative stress, HLE-B3 cells were exposed to insult with H2O2 at physiological (50 microm) and moderately supra- physiological (100 microm) levels over a time course of several hours, with and without pretreatment with 17beta-E2. The ability of 17beta-E2 to prevent H2O2-induced injury to several oxidant susceptible components of the cellular ATP generating machinery, including abundances of mitochondrial gene transcripts encoding respiratory chain subunits and cytochrome c, the glycolytic pathway enzyme, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and the energy-shuttling creatine kinase (CK) system, and mitochondrial membrane potential (deltapsi(m)) a measure of mitochondrial membrane integrity, were determined 3 hr after oxidative insult. Northern blot analysis revealed H2O2-induced reductions in mitochondrial transcripts for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase (NADH) subunits 4 and 5 and cytochrome c. H2O2 also inactivated GAPDH but did not alter CK activity. Pretreatment and simultaneous addition of 17beta-E2 with H2O2 did not prevent the reductions in mitochondrial transcript levels and GAPDH activity. 17beta-Estradiol did moderate the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (deltapsi(m)) in response to H2O2 as demonstrated by JC-1 staining and fluorescence microscopy. Although the precise mode of action responsible for protection by estradiols against oxidative stress remains to be determined, these results indicate that the hormone stabilizes the mitochondrial membrane, thereby preserving the driving force for oxidative ATP synthesis.

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) was used as a marker molecule to clarify the mechanism of gastric mucosal damage as a side effect of using piroxicam. Piroxicam inactivated ADH during interaction of ADH with horseradish peroxidase and H2O2 (HRP-H2O2). The ADH was more easily inactivated under aerobic than anaerobic conditions, indicating participation by oxygen. Superoxide dismutase, but not hydroxyl radical scavengers, inhibited inactivation of ADH, indicating participation by superoxide. Sulfhydryl (SH) groups in ADH were lost during incubation of piroxicam with HRP-H2O2. Adding reduced glutathione (GSH) efficiently blocked ADH inactivation. Other SH enzymes, including creatine kinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, were also inactivated by piroxicam with HRP-H2O2. Thus SH groups in the enzymes seem vulnerable to piroxicam activated by HRP-H2O2. Spectral change in piroxicam was caused by HRP-H2O2. ESR signals of glutathionyl radicals occurred during incubation of piroxicam with HRP-H2O2 in the presence of GSH. Under anaerobic conditions, glutathionyl radical formation increased. Thus piroxicam free radicals interact with GSH to produce glutathionyl radicals. Piroxicam peroxyl radicals or superoxide, or both, seem to inactivate ADH. Superoxide may be produced through interaction of peroxyl radicals with H2O2. Thus superoxide dismutase may inhibit inactivation of ADH through reducing piroxicam peroxyl radicals or blocking interaction of SH groups with O2 , or both. Other oxicam derivatives, including isoxicam, tenoxicam and meloxicam, induced ADH inactivation in the presence of HRP-H2O2.

Cysteine residues of certain peroxiredoxins (Prxs) undergo reversible oxidation to sulfinic acid (Cys-SO2H) and the reduction reaction is catalyzed by sulfiredoxin (Srx). Specific Cys residues of various other proteins are also oxidized to sulfinic acid, suggesting that formation of Cys-SO2H might be a novel posttranslational modification that contributes to regulation of protein function. To examine the susceptibility of sulfinic forms of proteins to reduction by Srx, we prepared such forms of all six mammalian Prx isoforms and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Purified sulfiredoxin reduced the sulfinic forms of the four 2-Cys members (Prx I to Prx IV) of the Prx family in vitro, but it did not affect those of Prx V, Prx VI, or GAPDH. Furthermore, Srx bound specifically to the four 2-Cys Prxs in vitro and in cells. Sulfinic forms of Prx I and Prx II, but not of Prx VI or GAPDH, present in H2O2-treated A549 cells were gradually reduced after removal of H2O2; overexpression of Srx increased the rate of the reduction of Prx I and Prx II but did not induce that of Prx VI or GAPDH. These results suggest that reduction of Cys-SO2H by Srx is specific to 2-Cys Prx isoforms. For proteins such as Prx VI and GAPDH, sulfinic acid formation might be an irreversible process that causes protein damage.
