The Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in In Vitro Cardiac Maturation. Trends Mol Med 2019; 25:482-493.

Abstract
Recent advances in developmental biology and biomedical engineering have significantly improved the efficiency and purity of cardiomyocytes (CMs) generated from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). Regardless of the protocol used to derive CMs, these cells exhibit hallmarks of functional immaturity. In this Opinion, we focus on reactive oxygen species (ROS), signaling molecules that can potentially modulate cardiac maturation. We outline how ROS impacts nearly every aspect associated with cardiac maturation, including contractility, calcium handling, metabolism, and hypertrophy. Though the precise role of ROS in cardiac maturation has yet to be elucidated, ROS may provide a valuable perspective for understanding the molecular mechanisms for cardiac maturation under various conditions.

Abstract
When exposed to an abrupt stretch, cardiac muscle exhibits biphasic active force enhancement. The initial, instantaneous, force enhancement is well explained by the Frank-Starling mechanism. However, the cellular mechanisms associated with the second, slower phase remain contentious. This review explores hypotheses regarding this "slow force response" with the intention of clarifying some apparent contradictions in the literature. The review is partitioned into three sections. The first section considers pathways that modify the intracellular calcium handling to address the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the mechanism underlying the slow force response. The second section focuses on extracellular calcium fluxes and explores the identity and contribution of the stretch-activated, non-specific, cation channels as well as signalling cascades associated with G-protein coupled receptors. The final section introduces promising candidates for the mechanosensor(s) responsible for detecting the stretch perturbation.

Abstract
The increase in myocardial reactive oxygen species after epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation is a crucial step in the autocrine/paracrine angiotensin II/endothelin receptor activation leading to the slow force response to stretch (SFR). Since experimental evidence suggests a link between angiotensin II or its AT1 receptor and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), and MR transactivates the epidermal growth factor receptor, we thought to determine whether MR activation participates in the SFR development in rat myocardium. We show here that MR activation is necessary to promote reactive oxygen species formation by a physiological concentration of angiotensin II (1 nmol l(-1)), since an increase in superoxide anion formation of ~50% of basal was suppressed by blocking MR with spironolactone or eplerenone. This effect was also suppressed by blocking AT1, endothelin (type A) or epidermal growth factor receptors, by inhibiting NADPH oxydase or by targeting mitochondria, and was unaffected by glucocorticoid receptor inhibition. All interventions except AT1 receptor blockade blunted the increase in superoxide anion promoted by an equipotent dose of endothelin-1 (1 nmol l(-1)) confirming that endothelin receptors activation is downstream of AT1. Similarly, an increase in superoxide anion promoted by an equipotent dose of aldosterone (10 nmol l(-1)) was blocked by spironolactone or eplerenone, by preventing epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation, but not by inhibiting glucocorticoid receptors or protein synthesis, suggesting non-genomic MR effects. Combination of aldosterone plus endothelin-1 did not increase superoxide anion formation more than each agonist separately. We found that aldosterone increased phosphorylation of the redox-sensitive kinases ERK1/2-p90RSK and the NHE-1, effects that were eliminated by eplerenone or by preventing epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation. Finally, we provide evidence that the SFR is suppressed by MR blockade, by preventing epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation or by scavenging reactive oxygen species, but it is unaffected by glucocorticoid receptor blockade or protein synthesis inhibition. Our results suggest that MR activation is a necessary step in the stretch-triggered reactive oxygen species-mediated activation of redox-sensitive kinases upstream NHE-1.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in different metabolic processes including the respiratory burst of neutrophils accompanying local inflammation. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-activated neutrophils, isolated from the guinea pig peritoneal cavity, on isolated rings of a large (conduit) artery, the rat thoracic aorta. FMLP-activated neutrophils enhanced the basal tension increased by α(1)-adrenergic stimulation. In phenylephrine-precontracted aortae, they elicited marked contraction, while in noradrenaline-precontracted rat aortal rings they caused a biphasic response (contraction-relaxation). To eliminate interaction of activated neutrophils with catecholamines, in the subsequent experiments the basal tension was increased by KCl-induced depolarization. Activated neutrophils evoked a low-amplitude biphasic response (relaxation-contraction) on the KCl-induced contraction. Not only the acetylcholine- and A(23187)-induced relaxations but also the catalase sensitive hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) elicited contractions were endothelium-dependent. Even though the acetylcholine-induced relaxation was changed by activated neutrophils and by the ROS studied, their effects differed significantly, yet none of them did eliminate fully the endothelium-dependent acetylcholine relaxation. The effect of activated neutrophils resembled the effect of superoxide anion radical (O(2) (•-)) produced by xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO) and differed from the inhibitory effects of Fe(2)SO(4)/H(2)O(2)-produced hydroxyl radical ((•)OH) and H(2)O(2). Thus O(2) (•-) produced either by activated neutrophils or X/XO affected much less the endothelium-dependent acetylcholine-activated relaxation mechanisms than did (•)OH and H(2)O(2). In the large (conduit) artery, the effects of activated neutrophils and various ROS (O(2) (•-), (•)OH and H(2)O(2)) seem to be more dependent on muscle tension than on endothelial mechanisms.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a role in cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and heart failure. The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of endogenous ROS in atrial hemodynamics and ANP secretion in isolated perfused beating rat atria. Pyrogallol (a generator of superoxide anion, 0.1, 1mM) or hydrogen peroxide (0.1, 1, 10, 30mM) was perfused into atria paced at 1.2Hz. Pyrogallol and hydrogen peroxide stimulated ANP secretion and concentration in a dose-dependent manner and dramatically decreased atrial contractility and translocation of extracellular fluid. The stimulatory effect of pyrogallol and hydrogen peroxide on ANP secretion was attenuated by the pretreatment with ascorbic acid (an antioxidant; 1mM) and cariporide (an inhibitor of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger; 1μM) but negative inotropic effect was not changed. U120 (a MAPK(erk) pathway inhibitor; 10μM) attenuated the stimulatory effect of hydrogen peroxide on ANP secretion. However, U120 augmented negative inotropic effect and stimulatory effect of ANP concentration induced by pyrogallol. Antioxidant such as N-acetyl cystein, gallate, propyl gallate, or ellagic acid did not cause any significant changes in atrial parameters. These results suggest that intracellular - formed ROS stimulates ANP secretion partly through activation of MAPK(erk) pathway and Na(+)/H(+) exchanger.

Abstract
Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been linked to the pathogenesis of contractile dysfunction in heart failure. However, it is unclear whether ROS can regulate physiological cellular processes in the myocardium. Here, we characterized the role of endogenous ROS production in the acute regulation of cardiac contractility in the intact rat heart. In isolated perfused rat hearts, endothelin-1 (ET-1, 1nmol/L) stimulated ROS formation in the left ventricle, which was prevented by the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine and the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor apocynin. N-acetylcysteine, the superoxide dismutase mimetic MnTMPyP, and apocynin significantly attenuated ET-1-mediated inotropic effect, which was accompanied by inhibition of extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation. Moreover, the mitochondrial K(ATP) channel blocker 5-HD, and the mitochondrial large conductance calcium activated potassium channel blocker paxilline, but not the sarcolemmal K(ATP) channel blocker HMR 1098 attenuated the inotropic response to ET-1. However, ET-1-induced ROS generation was not abolished by inhibiting mitochondrial K(ATP) channel opening. In contrast to ET-1 stimulation, the positive inotropic effect of β(1)-adrenergic receptor agonist dobutamine (250nmol/L) was significantly augmented by N-acetylcysteine and apocynin. Moreover, dobutamine-induced phospholamban phosphorylation was markedly enhanced by apocynin. In conclusion, NAD(P)H oxidase-derived ROS play a physiological role in the acute regulation of cardiac contractility in the intact rat heart. Our results reveal that ET-1-induced increase in cardiac contractility is partially dependent on enhanced ROS generation, which in turn, activates the ERK1/2 pathway. On the other hand, β-adrenergic receptor-induced positive inotropic effect and phospholamban phosphorylation is enhanced by NAD(P)H oxidase inhibition.

Abstract
AIMS We assessed regulation of volume-sensitive Cl(-) current (I(Cl,swell)) by endothelin-1 (ET-1) and characterized the signalling pathway responsible for its activation in rabbit atrial and ventricular myocytes. METHODS AND RESULTS ET-1 elicited I(Cl,swell) under isosmotic conditions. Outwardly rectified Cl(-) current was blocked by the I(Cl,swell)-selective inhibitor DCPIB or osmotic shrinkage and involved ET(A) but not ET(B) receptors. ET-1-induced current was abolished by inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase or phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI-3K), indicating that these kinases were downstream. Regarding upstream events, activation of I(Cl,swell) by osmotic swelling or angiotensin II (AngII) was suppressed by ET(A) blockade, whereas AngII AT(1) receptor blockade failed to alter ET-1-induced current. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by NADPH oxidase (NOX) stimulate I(Cl,swell). As expected, blockade of NOX suppressed ET-1-induced I(Cl,swell), but blockade of mitochondrial ROS production with rotenone also suppressed I(Cl,swell). I(Cl,swell) was activated by augmenting complex III ROS production with antimycin A or diazoxide; in this case, I(Cl,swell) was insensitive to NOX inhibitors, indicating that mitochondria were downstream from NOX. ROS generation in HL-1 cardiomyocytes measured by flow cytometry confirmed the electrophysiological findings. ET-1-induced ROS production was inhibited by blocking either NOX or mitochondrial complex I, whereas complex III-induced ROS production was insensitive to NOX blockade. CONCLUSION ET-1-ET(A) signalling activated I(Cl,swell) via EGFR kinase, PI-3K, and NOX ROS production, which triggered mitochondrial ROS production. ET(A) receptors were downstream effectors when I(Cl,swell) was elicited by osmotic swelling or AngII. These data suggest that ET-1-induced ROS-dependent I(Cl,swell) is likely to participate in multiple physiological and pathophysiological processes.

Abstract
This study investigated the role of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) and signalling molecules, such as cAMP, PKC, PI 3-kinase, and immune defence enzymes, NADPH oxidase and nitric oxide synthase, in the induction of protein glutathionylation and carbonylation in cadmium-treated haemocytes of mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Glutathionylation was detected by western blot analysis and showed actin as its main target. A significant increase of both actin glutathionylation and protein carbonylation, were observed in haemocytes exposed to micromolar concentration of cadmium chloride (5 micromol l(-1)). Cadmium seems to cause actin polymerization that may lead to its increased glutathionylation, probably to protect it from cadmium-induced oxidative stress. It is therefore possible that polymerization of actin plays a signalling role in the induction of both glutathionylation and carbonylation processes. NHE seems to play a regulatory role in the induction of oxidative damage and actin glutathionylation, since its inhibition by 2 micromol l(-1) cariporide, significantly diminished cadmium effects in each case. Similarly, attenuation of cadmium effects were observed in cells pre-treated with either 11 micromol l(-1) GF-109203X, a potent inhibitor of PKC, 50 nmol l(-1) wortmannin, an inhibitor of PI 3-kinase, 0.01 mmol l(-1) forskolin, an adenylyl cyclase activator, 10 micromol l(-1) DPI, a NADPH oxidase inhibitor, or 10 micromol l(-1) L-NAME, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, suggesting a possible role of PKC, PI 3-kinase and cAMP, as well as NADPH oxidase and nitric oxide synthase in the enhancement of cadmium effects on both actin glutathionylation and protein carbonylation.

The positive inotropic effect of endothelin-1 is mediated by mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Life Sci 2008; 83:264-71.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated the participation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the positive inotropic effect of a physiological concentration of Angiotensin II (Ang II, 1 nM). The objective of the present work was to evaluate the role and source of ROS generation in the positive inotropic effect produced by an equipotent concentration of endothelin-1 (ET-1, 0.4 nM). Isolated cat ventricular myocytes were used to measure sarcomere shortening with a video-camera, superoxide anion (()O(2)(-)) with chemiluminescence, and ROS production and intracellular pH (pH(i)) with epifluorescence. The ET-1-induced positive inotropic effect (40.4+/-3.1%, n=10, p<0.05) was associated to an increase in ROS production (105+/-29 fluorescence units above control, n=6, p<0.05). ET-1 also induced an increase in ()O(2)(-) production that was inhibited by the NADPH oxidase blocker, apocynin, and by the blockers of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (mK(ATP)), glibenclamide and 5 hydroxydecanoic acid. The ET-1-induced positive inotropic effect was inhibited by apocynin (0.3 mM; 6.3+/-6.6%, n=13), glibenclamide (50 microM; 8.8+/-3.5%, n=6), 5 hydroxydecanoic acid (500 microM; 14.1+/-8.1, n=9), and by scavenging ROS with MPG (2 mM; 0.92+/-5.6%, n=8). ET-1 enhanced proton efflux (J(H)) carried by the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) after an acid load, effect that was blocked by MPG. Consistently, the ET-induced positive inotropic effect was also inhibited by the NHE selective blocker HOE642 (5 microM; 9.37+/-6.07%, n=7). The data show that the effect of a concentration of ET-1 that induces an increase in contractility of about 40% is totally mediated by an intracellular pathway triggered by mitochondrial ROS formation and stimulation of the NHE.

Abstract
Mitochondria have been a central focus of several theories of aging as a result of their critical role in bioenergetics, oxidant production, and regulation of cell death. A decline in cardiac mitochondrial function coupled with the accumulation of oxidative damage to macromolecules may be causal to the decline in cardiac performance with age. In contrast, regular physical activity and lifelong caloric restriction can prevent oxidative stress, delay the onset of morbidity, increase life span, and reduce the risk of developing several pathological conditions. The health benefits of life long exercise and caloric restriction may be, at least partially, due to a reduction in the chronic amount of mitochondrial oxidant production. In addition, the available data suggest that chronic exercise may serve to enhance antioxidant enzyme activities, and augment certain repair/removal pathways, thereby reducing the amount of oxidative tissue damage. However, the characterization of age-related changes to cardiac mitochondria has been complicated by the fact that two distinct populations of mitochondria exist in the myocardium: subsarcolemmal mitochondria and interfibrillar mitochondria. Several studies now suggest the importance of studying both mitochondrial populations when attempting to elucidate the contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction to myocardial aging. The role that mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress play in contributing to cardiac aging will be discussed along with the use of lifelong exercise and calorie restriction as countermeasures to aging.

Abstract
The objective of this article is to investigate the influence of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on human monocyte Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) activity and on the atherosclerosis-related monocyte functions. ET-1 caused an increase in pHi and in (22)Na influx of monocytes. A reversal of ET-1 effect on pHi was observed in the presence of the NHE1 inhibitor, cariporide. In addition, the activation of NHE1 by ET-1 was mediated via protein kinase C (PKC), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), and NADPH oxidase. Also, a link between ET-1 and nitric oxide (NO) was observed. Furthermore, after ET-1 treatment, an increase of the adhesive capacity, the migration ability on laminin and CD36 expression of monocytes, was observed; using cariporide this increase was abolished. Our results showed that ET-1 induces a signaling pathway with the involvement of PKC, MAPK, PI3K, and NADPH oxidase where NHE1 plays a key role. ET-1 also plays a significant role in atherosclerosis-related functions of human monocytes, via NHE1 activation.

Abstract
There is no information available on left ventricular (LV) systolic function and the response to stress echocardiography in asymptomatic subjects with hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). To evaluate this topic, 43 asymptomatic subjects with HH homozygous for the C282Y HFE gene mutation (22 untreated subjects [group A] and 21 long-term treated subjects [group B]) were compared with 21 age- and gender-matched normal volunteers negative for HFE mutations. Contractile reserve, as a measure of LV systolic function, was assessed using continuous echocardiographic imaging and electrocardiography during supine bicycle exercise. Nineteen subjects in group A had repeat tests after 6 months of induction phlebotomy therapy to assess the effect of iron removal. Exercise performance and hemodynamic variables of supine bicycle exercise were comparable between subjects with HH and controls. LV contractile reserve of asymptomatic subjects with HH was not impaired at either a 75-W submaximal exercise level (mean +/- SD difference in ejection fraction from baseline 13.8 +/- 6.2%, 11.5 +/- 6.8%, and 13.4 +/- 7.8% in groups A, B, and C, respectively; p = NS for all by analysis of variance) or at peak exercise (difference in ejection fraction from baseline 18.9 +/- 6.9%, 18.4 +/- 7.8%, and 20.3 +/- 8.1% in groups A, B, and C, respectively; p = NS for all by analysis of variance). However, the incidence of abnormal ischemic stress electrocardiographic responses was more frequent in subjects with HH as a whole (33%) compared with normal subjects (10%). Stress imaging revealed no regional wall motion abnormalities, suggesting that these were false-positive results. Iron removal by induction phlebotomy did not affect stress echocardiographic performance. In conclusion, LV systolic function during exercise in asymptomatic subjects with HH is preserved, and 6-month induction phlebotomy does not affect stress echocardiographic performance.

Abstract
The present study investigates the cytotoxic mechanisms induced by zinc (Zn) in haemocytes of mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Haemocytes play a key role in the immune defence of mussels. Micromolar concentration of Zn (50 microM) play an important role in the elevation of pHi and increase in Na+ influx in haemocytes. The observed effects were inhibited by the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) inhibitor, ethyl-N-isopropyl-amiloride (EIPA). Furthermore, our results showed that Zn caused an increase in O(-)(2) production that was reversed after NHE inhibition. Phorbol ester (PMA) caused a significant rise both in pHi and Na+ influx as well as in O(-)(2) production. These effects were reversed by calphostin C. Our results indicated that Zn also enhanced haemocyte attachment to both BSA and laminin which was reversed by EIPA and calphostin C. The enhancement of haemocytes attachment to both BSA and laminin after Zn suggests that it is likely to play a signal role in cytoskeleton-dependent process of cell growth and migration in mussel M. galloprovincialis haemocytes. We conclude that Zn induces a signaling pathway with the involvement of NHE, PKC, O(-)(2) and alpha1- and beta-adrenergic receptors.

Abstract
Many effects believed to be because of angiotensin II (Ang II) are attributable to the action of endothelin (ET)-1, which is released/produced by Ang II. We investigated whether Ang II elicits its positive inotropic effect (PIE) by the action of endogenous ET-1, in addition to the role played by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this mechanism. Cat cardiomyocytes were used for: (1) sarcomere shortening measurements; (2) ROS measurements by epifluorescence; (3) immunohistochemical staining for preproET-1, BigET-1, and ET-1; and (4) measurement of preproET-1 mRNA by RT-PCR. Cells were exposed to 1 nmol/L Ang II for 15 minutes. This low concentration of Ang II increases sarcomere shortening by 29.2+/-3.7% (P<0.05). This PIE was abrogated by Na+/H+ exchanger or Na+/Ca2+ exchanger reverse mode inhibition. The production of ROS increased in response to Ang II treatment (DeltaROS respect to control: 68+/-15 fluorescence units; P<0.05). The Ang II-induced PIE and ROS production were blocked by the Ang II type 1 receptor blocker losartan, the nonselective ET-1 receptor blocker TAK044, the selective ETA receptor blocker BQ-123, or the ROS scavenger N-(2-mercapto-propionyl)glycine. Exogenous ET-1 (0.4 nmol/L) induced a similar PIE and increase in ROS production to those caused by Ang II. Immunostaining for preproET-1, BigET-1, and ET-1 was positive in cardiomyocytes. The preproET-1 mRNA abundance increased from 100+/-4.6% in control to 241.9+/-39.9% in Ang II-treated cells (P<0.05). We conclude that the PIE after exposure to 1 nmol/L Ang II is due to endogenous ET-1 acting through the ETA receptor and triggering ROS production, Na+/H+ exchanger stimulation, and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger reverse mode activation.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to elucidate the events that are involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA damage after adrenergic receptors stimulation by cadmium, in relation to cAMP, protein kinase C (PKC) and Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE). Cadmium (50 microM) caused increased levels of ROS with a concomitant increase in DNA damage in digestive gland of Mytilus galloprovincialis. Either the use of EIPA, a NHE blocker, or calphostin C, the inhibitor of PKC, reduced cadmium effects. Cells treated with alpha1-, alpha2-, beta- and beta1- adrenergic antagonists together with cadmium reversed cadmium alone effects, while the respective adrenergic agonists, phenylephrine and isoprenaline, mimic cadmium effects. Moreover, cadmium caused an increase in the levels of cAMP in digestive gland cells that were reversed after NHE and PKC inhibition as well as in the presence of each type of adrenergic antagonist. The different sensitivity of alpha1-, alpha2-, beta-, beta1- adrenergic receptors on ROS, cAMP production and DNA damage possibly leads to the induction of two signaling pathways that may be interacting or to the presence of a compensatory pathway that acts in concert with the alpha- and beta- adrenergic receptors. In these signaling pathways PKC and NHE play significant role.

Abstract
The stretch of adult papillary muscle elicits a chain of autocrine/paracrine events in which the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE-1) activation is the central step. This activation is induced by a sequential angiotensin II-endothelin (Ang II-ET) release and results in an increase in intracellular Na(+) (Na(+)(i)) without significant changes in intracellular pH. The increase in Na(+)(i) negatively shifts the reverse potential of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) thus inducing cell Ca(2+) influx that augments myocardial contractility. This increase in force represents the mechanical counterpart of the autocrine/paracrine mechanism triggered by stretch and has been called the slow force response (SFR) to stretch.

Abstract
Growth factors play vital roles in the regulation of various biologic processes, including those in cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Accumulating evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species mediate growth factor signal transduction. The discovery of reactive oxygen species production by angiotensin II in vascular smooth muscle cells via the activation of NAD(P)H oxidase promoted studies of redox control of growth factor signaling. In the past few years, there have been further advances in this field. In addition to established roles of reactive oxygen species in vascular smooth muscle growth, these species have been demonstrated to serve as second messengers for cardiac hypertrophy induced by angiotensin II. NAD(P)H oxidase also produces reactive oxygen species in response to endothelin-1 in vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells. These results suggest that inhibiting NAD(P)H oxidase might be a useful therapeutic strategy. In fact, adenovirus-mediated gene transfer appears to be an effective approach to prevent vascular hypertrophy in rodent models. Growth factors also induce survival signaling in cardiac and smooth muscle cells, and redox control may play a role in such events. It is likely that studies reporting the mechanisms of redox control of growth factor signaling will rapidly emerge in the next several years, and understanding of such regulation should help in the development of therapeutic strategies against heart and lung diseases.
