After birth the proliferation of cardiac cells declines, and further growth of the heart occurs by hypertrophic cell growth. In the present study the cell proliferation capacity of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells versus neonatal cardiomyocytes and the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on cardiomyogenesis and cardiac cell proliferation of ES cells was investigated. Low levels of hydrogen peroxide stimulated cardiomyogenesis of ES cells and induced proliferation of cardiomyocytes derived from ES cells and neonatal mice, as investigated by nuclear translocation of cyclin D1, downregulation of p27(Kip1), phosphorylation of retinoblastoma (Rb), increase of Ki-67 expression and incorporation of BrdU. The observed effects were blunted by the free radical scavengers vitamin E and 2-mercaptoglycin (NMPG). In ES cells ROS induced expression of the cardiac-specific genes encoding alpha-actin, beta-MHC, MLC2a, MLC2v and ANP as well as the transcription factors GATA-4, Nkx-2.5, MEF2C, DTEF-1 and the growth factor BMP-10. During differentiation ES cells expressed the NADPH oxidase isoforms Nox-1, Nox-2 and Nox-4. Treatment of cardiac cells with ROS increased Nox-1, Nox-4, p22-phox, p47-phox and p67-phox proteins as well as Nox-1 and Nox-4 mRNA, indicating feed-forward regulation of ROS generation. Inhibition of NADPH oxidase with diphenylen iodonium chloride (DPI) and apocynin abolished ROS-induced cardiomyogenesis of ES cells. Our data suggest that proliferation of neonatal and ES-cell-derived cardiac cells involves ROS-mediated signalling cascades and point towards an involvement of NADPH oxidase in cardiovascular differentiation of ES cells.

The presence of more than one dental alloy in the oral cavity often causes pathological galvanic currents and voltage resulting in superficial erosions of the oral mucosa and eventually in the emergence of oral cancer. In the present study the mechanisms of apoptosis of oral mucosa cancer cells in response to electromagnetic fields was investigated. Direct current (DC) electrical fields with field strengths between 2 and 16 V/m, applied for 24 h to UM-SCC-14-C oral mucosa cancer cells, dose-dependently resulted in decreased cell proliferation as evaluated by Ki-67 immunohistochemistry and upregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors p21(cip1/waf1) and p27(kip1), which are associated with cell cycle arrest. Electrical field treatment (4 V/m, 24 h) increased apoptosis as evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis of cleaved caspase-3 and poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Furthermore, robust reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, increased expression of NADPH oxidase subunits as well as Hsp70 was observed. Electrical field treatment (4 V/m, 24 h) resulted in increased expression of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase and decreased intracellular concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH), whereas the expression of catalase remained unchanged. Pre-treatment with the free radical scavenger N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) and the superoxide dismutase mimetic EUK-8 abolished caspase-3 and PARP-1 induction, suggesting that apoptosis in oral mucosa cancer cells is initated by ROS generation in response to DC electrical field treatment.

Wound healing is a complex process involving soluble mediators, blood cells, extracellular matrix, and parenchymal cells in a response that occurs after surgical procedure or traumatic injury. The present study aims to investigate the ROS producing from the injury that involved in the wound healing using the ZFL (zebrafish liver cell) and tilapia partial hepatectomy model. In the ZFL, we observed that while over-inhibition of NADPH activity leading to reduce the wound healing moreover, experiment of the oxidative stress by the extracellular hydrogen peroxide exactly presented to increase the PCNA, BrdU and Ki-67 histopathological repair response of tilapia liver follow partial hepatectomy. We conclude that over inhibition of the NADPH oxidase by DPI may reduce the cell even the tissue in the progress of healing after the injury.

We determined effects of the NADPH oxidase (NOX) inhibitor apocynin (APO) or the antioxidant enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) on an early stage of hepatocarcinogenesis in the liver with steatosis. Male rats were given a single intraperitoneal injection of N-diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and fed a high-fat diet (HFD) to subject to a two-stage hepatocarcinogenesis model. Two weeks later, rats were fed a HFD containing the lipogenic substance malachite green (MG), which were co-administered with EMIQ or APO in drinking water for 6 weeks. Three after DEN initiation, rats were subjected to a two-third partial hepatectomy to enhance cell proliferation. The HFD increased total cholesterol and alkaline phosphatase levels, which were reduced by EMIQ co-administration. APO co-administration reduced MG-increased preneoplastic liver lesions, glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive, adipophilin-negative liver foci, and tended to decrease MG-increased Ki-67-positive or active caspase-3-positive cells in the liver foci. EMIQ or APO co-administration reduced the expression of a NOX subunit p22phox in the liver foci, but did not alter the numbers of LC3a-positive cells, an autophagy marker. We identified no treatment-related effects on p47phox and NOX4 expression in the liver foci. The results indicated that APO or EMIQ had the potential to suppress hyperlipidaemia and steatosis-preneoplastic liver lesions, through suppression of NOX subunit expression in rats.

Expression of the voltage gated proton channel (Hv1) as identified by immunocytochemistry has been reported previously in breast cancer tissue. Increased expression of HV1 was correlated with poor prognosis and decreased overall and disease-free survival but the mechanism of its involvement in the disease is unknown. Here we present electrophysiological recordings of HV1 channel activity, confirming its presence and function in the plasma membrane of a breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. With western blotting we identify significant levels of HV1 expression in 3 out of 8 "triple negative" breast cancer cell lines (estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptor expression negative). We examine the function of HV1 in breast cancer using MDA-MB-231 cells as a model by suppressing the expression of HV1 using shRNA (knock-down; KD) and by eliminating HV1 using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing (knock-out; KO). Surprisingly, these two approaches produced incongruous effects. Knock-down of HV1 using shRNA resulted in slower cell migration in a scratch assay and a significant reduction in H2O2 release. In contrast, HV1 Knock-out cells did not show reduced migration or H2O2 release. HV1 KO but not KD cells showed an increased glycolytic rate accompanied by an increase in p-AKT (phospho-AKT, Ser473) activity. The expression of CD171/LCAM-1, an adhesion molecule and prognostic indicator for breast cancer, was reduced in HV1 KO cells. When we compared MDA-MB-231 xenograft growth rates in immunocompromised mice, tumors from HV1 KO cells grew less than WT in mass, with lower staining for the Ki-67 marker for cell proliferation rate. Therefore, deletion of HV1 expression in MDA-MB-231 cells limits tumor growth rate. The limited growth thus appears to be independent of oxidant production by NADPH oxidase molecules and to be mediated by cell adhesion molecules. Although HV1 KO and KD affect certain cellular mechanisms differently, both implicate HV1-mediated pathways for control of tumor growth in the MDA-MB-231 cell line.
