Regulation of peroxiredoxin-3 gene expression under basal and hyperglycemic conditions: Key roles for transcription factors Sp1, CREB and NF-κB. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2023; 1869:166691. [PMID: 36933848 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2023.166691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
Peroxiredoxin-3 (Prx-3), a thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase located exclusively in the mitochondrial matrix, catalyses peroxides/peroxinitrites. Altered levels of Prx-3 is associated with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, molecular mechanisms of Prx-3 gene regulation remain partially understood. We undertook a systemic analysis of the Prx-3 gene to identify the key motifs and transcriptional regulatory molecules. Transfection of promoter-reporter constructs in the cultured cells identified -191/+20 bp domain as the core promoter region. Stringent in silico analysis of this core promoter revealed putative binding sites for specificity protein 1 (Sp1), cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB). Interestingly, while co-transfection of the -191/+20 bp construct with Sp1/CREB plasmid diminished Prx3 promoter-reporter activity, mRNA and protein levels, co-transfection with NF-κB expression plasmid augmented the same. Consistently, inhibition of Sp1/CREB/NF-κB expression reversed the promoter-reporter activity, mRNA and protein levels of Prx-3, thereby confirming their regulatory effects. ChIP assays provided evidence for interactions of Sp1/CREB/NF-κB with the Prx-3 promoter. H9c2 cells treated with high glucose as well as streptozotocin (STZ)-treated diabetic rats showed time-dependent reduction in promoter activity, endogenous transcript and protein levels of Prx-3. Augmentation of Sp1/CREB protein levels and their strong binding with Prx-3 promoter are responsible for diminished Prx-3 levels under hyperglycemia. The activation/increase in the NF-κB expression under hyperglycemia was not sufficient to restore the reduction of endogenous Prx-3 levels owing to its weak binding affinity. Taken together, this study elucidates the previously unknown roles of Sp1/CREB/NF-κB in regulating Prx-3 gene expression under hyperglycemic condition.

The Key Role of Peroxisomes in Follicular Growth, Oocyte Maturation, Ovulation, and Steroid Biosynthesis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:7982344.

Abstract
The absence of peroxisomes can cause disease in the human reproductive system, including the ovaries. The available peroxisomal gene-knockout female mouse models, which exhibit pathological changes in the ovary and reduced fertility, are listed in this review. Our review article provides the first systematic presentation of peroxisomal regulation and its possible functions in the ovary. Our immunofluorescence results reveal that peroxisomes are present in all cell types in the ovary; however, peroxisomes exhibit different numerical abundances and strong heterogeneity in their protein composition among distinct ovarian cell types. The peroxisomal compartment is strongly altered during follicular development and during oocyte maturation, which suggests that peroxisomes play protective roles in oocytes against oxidative stress and lipotoxicity during ovulation and in the survival of oocytes before conception. In addition, the peroxisomal compartment is involved in steroid synthesis, and peroxisomal dysfunction leads to disorder in the sexual hormone production process. However, an understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these physiological and pathological processes is lacking. To date, no effective treatment for peroxisome-related disease has been developed, and only supportive methods are available. Thus, further investigation is needed to resolve peroxisome deficiency in the ovary and eventually promote female fertility.

Abstract
Valproate (VPA) induced changes in ovarian morphology are observed in humans with epilepsy and in non-epileptic animals. The effects of lamotrigine (LTG) on female reproduction is not well known. We investigated whether LTG might be a safer drug for use with patients of reproductive age. Forty Wistar albino female rats were divided into five groups. The control group was injected with saline-vehicle solution. The low dose (LD)-VPA group was injected with 100 mg/kg VPA. The high dose (HD)-VPA group was injected with 500 mg/kg VPA. The LD-LTG group was injected with 10 mg/kg LTG. The HD-LTG group was injected with 50 mg/kg LTG. We evaluated histological and biochemical changes in the ovaries. The number of atretic and cystic follicles was increased in the HD-VPA and HD-LTG groups compared to the control group. A significant increase in malondialdehyde level was found in the VPA groups compared to the control and LTG groups. No significant differences in total glutathione levels or superoxide dismutase activity were found among study groups. Catalase activity was significantly higher in HD-VPA and HD-LTG groups compared to the control, LD-VPA and LD-LTG groups. Prevalence and intensity of caspase-3 immunoreactivity in the luteal cells were significantly greater in the HD-LTG group compared to the control group. VPA administration caused polycystic ovarian syndrome-like changes in the ovary. We found that LD-LTG, which reflects the dose for humans, might be a safer option for use during the reproductive age.

Abstract
Proper physiological function of the ovaries is very important for the entire female reproductive system and overall health. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products during ovarian physiological metabolism, and antioxidants are indicated as factors that can maintain the balance between ROS production and clearance. A disturbance in this balance can induce pathological consequences in oocyte maturation, ovulation, fertilization, implantation, and embryo development, which can ultimately influence pregnancy outcomes. However, our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying these physiological and pathological processes is lacking. This article presents up-to-date findings regarding the effects of antioxidants on the ovaries. An abundance of evidence has confirmed the various significant roles of these antioxidants in the ovaries. Some animal models are discussed in this review to demonstrate the harmful consequences that result from mutation or depletion of antioxidant genes or genes related to antioxidant synthesis. Disruption of antioxidant systems may lead to pathological consequences in women. Antioxidant supplementation is indicated as a possible strategy for treating reproductive disease and infertility by controlling oxidative stress (OS). To confirm this, further investigations are required and more antioxidant therapy in humans has to been performed.

Abstract
The chemistry behind the phenomenon of ultra-weak photon emission has been subject of considerable interest for decades. Great progress has been made on the understanding of the chemical generation of electronically excited states that are involved in these processes. Proposed mechanisms implicated the production of excited carbonyl species and singlet molecular oxygen in the mechanism of generation of chemiluminescence in biological system. In particular, attention has been focused on the potential generation of singlet molecular oxygen in the recombination reaction of peroxyl radicals by the Russell mechanism. In the last ten years, our group has demonstrated the generation of singlet molecular oxygen from reactions involving the decomposition of biologically relevant hydroperoxides, especially from lipid hydroperoxides in the presence of metal ions, peroxynitrite, HOCl and cytochrome c. In this review we will discuss details on the chemical aspects related to the mechanism of singlet molecular oxygen generation from different biological hydroperoxides.

Abstract
Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) is a vital mitochondrial protein promoting transfer of cholesterol into steroid making mitochondria in specialized cells of the adrenal cortex and gonads. Our previous work has demonstrated that StAR is rapidly degraded upon import into the mitochondrial matrix. To identify the protease(s) responsible for this rapid turnover, murine StAR was expressed in wild-type Escherichia coli or in mutant strains lacking one of the four ATP-dependent proteolytic systems, three of which are conserved in mammalian mitochondria-ClpP, FtsH, and Lon. StAR was rapidly degraded in wild-type bacteria and stabilized only in lon (-)mutants; in such cells, StAR turnover was fully restored upon coexpression of human mitochondrial Lon. In mammalian cells, the rate of StAR turnover was proportional to the cell content of Lon protease after expression of a Lon-targeted small interfering RNA, or overexpression of the protein. In vitro assays using purified proteins showed that Lon-mediated degradation of StAR was ATP-dependent and blocked by the proteasome inhibitors MG132 (IC(50) = 20 microm) and clasto-lactacystin beta-lactone (cLbetaL, IC(50) = 3 microm); by contrast, epoxomicin, representing a different class of proteasome inhibitors, had no effect. Such inhibition is consistent with results in cultured rat ovarian granulosa cells demonstrating that degradation of StAR in the mitochondrial matrix is blocked by MG132 and cLbetaL but not by epoxomicin. Both inhibitors also blocked Lon-mediated cleavage of the model substrate fluorescein isothiocyanate-casein. Taken together, our former studies and the present results suggest that Lon is the primary ATP-dependent protease responsible for StAR turnover in mitochondria of steroidogenic cells.

Abstract
We evaluated the ability of various drugs to prevent the decrease in focal cochlear blood flow induced by photochemical reaction and investigated the mechanisms underlying this decrease. By means of a photochemical reaction, which produces reactive oxygen species, focal lesions measuring about 1 mm in diameter were induced in the lateral wall of the guinea pig cochlea. The protective effects of hydrocortisone, amidotrizoate and ATP on cochlear blood flow and cochlear vascular conductance changes were evaluated by using a non-contact laser flowmeter. Cochlear blood flow and cochlear vascular conductance were decreased to 65.1+/-4.9% (mean +/- S.E.M.) and 57.0+/-3.7% (mean +/- S.E.M.) of the initial level 30 min after the start of the photochemical reaction, respectively. Hydrocortisone significantly prevented the decline in the cochlear blood flow and cochlear vascular conductance and reduced the area of stria vascularis degeneration in a dose-dependent manner. Neither amidotrizoate nor ATP significantly prevented the decrease in cochlear blood flow or cochlear vascular conductance. Hydrocortisone was more effective than vasodilators or other agents which increase cochlear blood flow in preventing the photochemically induced decrease in cochlear blood flow. This might be due to the antioxidative effects of hydrocortisone.

Abstract
SP-22 is a mitochondrial antioxidant protein in bovine adrenal cortex. The protein is homologous to thioredoxin peroxidase and other antioxidant proteins. It protects radical-sensitive enzymes from oxidative damage by a radical-generating system (Fe2+/dithiothreitol) in the presence of a small amount of serum. In this study we purified a second mitochondrial protein with Mr 11,777, which cooperates with SP-22 to protect glutamine synthetase and other proteins from Fe2+/dithiothreitol-mediated damage. Without SP-22, the protein had no protecting activity. We determined amino acid and nucleotide sequences of the protein and its cDNA, respectively, and found that it was a protein of the thioredoxin family. The protein, designated as mt-Trx (mitochondrial thioredoxin), had a presequence composed of 59 amino acids that seemed to be a mitochondrial targeting signal. Mitochondrial extract prepared from adrenal cortex contained NADPH-dependent 5,5'dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (Nbs2) reductase activity. The enzyme was thought to have thioredoxin reductase activity, since the Nbs2-reducing activity was stimulated by mt-Trx. We partially purified the Nbs2 reductase from bovine adrenocortical mitochondria. In the presence of the partially purified reductase, mt-Trx, and NADPH, SP-22 showed the activity to protect oxyhemoglobin against ascorbate-induced damage. Furthermore, with the three protein components (Nbs2 reductase, mt-Trx, and SP-22) NADPH was oxidized in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The oxidation of NADPH was concomitant with the disappearance of an equimolar amount of hydrogen peroxide. Without any one of the protein components no hemoglobin-protecting and peroxide-dependent NADPH-oxidizing activities were observed. From these results we concluded that SP-22 is thioredoxin-dependent peroxide reductase or so-called thioredoxin peroxidase in mitochondria from the adrenal cortex.

Abstract
The ovaries of immature rats were used to prepare a peroxisome-enriched fraction by differential centrifugation. Following gonadotropin stimulation, which caused large numbers of follicles to develop into corpora lutea, the specific activity of catalase in the peroxisome-enriched fraction increased 5-fold, while catalase recovered in the post-30,000 x g supernatant did not increase in activity. The increase in catalase specific activity in the peroxisome enriched fraction was shown to be due to an increased concentration of the enzyme as determined by Western blotting. Catalase in pig granulosa cells also increased in specific activity as the follicles aged and luteinized. This increase appeared to parallel increases in the concentration of cytochrome P-450scc. We conclude there is a differential regulation of the peroxisomal and cytosolic pools of rat ovarian catalase.

Abstract
We studied the role of prostaglandins and free radicals in the induction of the functional and morphological pial arteriolar abnormalities produced by concussive brain injury. Anesthetized cats equipped with a cranial window for the observation of the pial microcirculation were subjected to concussive brain injury using a fluid-percussion device following administration of cyclooxygenase inhibitors (indomethacin or AHR-5850) or the vehicle for the solution of these agents (NaCl or Na2CO3 solution). Pial arterioles from vehicle-treated animals displayed sustained dilation, reduced responsiveness to the vasoconstrictor effect of arterial hypocapnia, and a high density of endothelial lesions. Animals pretreated with cyclooxygenase inhibitors showed less pronounced vasodilation, normal responsiveness to hypocapnia, and a significantly reduced number of lesions. The vasodilation and reduced responsiveness to the vasoconstrictor effects of hypocapnia after brain injury also were inhibited by topical application of free radical scavengers (nitroblue tetrazolium, superoxide dismutase, or mannitol). The vessels from cats pretreated with free radical scavengers also had a lower density of endothelial lesions than controls. The results support the view that the immediate cause of cerebral arteriolar damage in concussive brain injury is the generation of free oxygen radicals associated with increased prostaglandin synthesis.

Abstract
Application of arachidonic acid or prostaglandin G(2) to the brain surface of anesthetized cats induced cerebral arteriolar damage. Scavengers of free oxygen radicals inhibited this damage. Prostaglandin H(2), prostaglandin E(2), and 11,14,17-eicosatrienoic acid did not produce arteriolar damage. It appears that increased prostaglandin synthesis produces cerebral vascular damage by generating free oxygen radicals.

Abstract
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (3-phospho-D-glycerate carboxy-lyase (dimerizing), EC 4.1.1.39) is deactivated by the removal of oxygen, and reversibly reactivated by its readdition to the enzyme solution. A short pulse of oxygen to the anaerobic enzyme solution is sufficient to trigger the reactivation process; the Ka value for this reaction was estimated as 0.12 mM oxygen. The enzyme could not be reactivated under anaerobic conditions by an organic oxidant (benzoylperoxide) or by sulfhydryl group reducing reagents (dithiothreitol or beta-mercaptoethanol), suggesting that the process of reactivation was oxygen specific. Furthermore, the inhibition of the reactivation by superoxide anion scavengers such as Tiron (1,2-dihydroxybenzene-3,5-disulfonic acid), copper penicillamine, hydroxylamine, nitroblue tetrazolium, and ascorbate, indicated that the monovalent reduced oxygen was involved as the reacting species in this process. The deactivation of the enzyme associated with the removal of oxygen was also sensitive to the presence of scavengers of O2(-), suggesting that superoxide anion was also involved in the deactivation process. Both the carboxylase and the oxygenase activities were similarly affected under all the experimental conditions studied. On the basis of these results it is argued that the enzyme molecules are able to reduce oxygen and that superoxide anion causes the deactivation or reactivation of the enzyme.

Abstract
Initiation of lipid peroxidation in foods may be accomplished by a variety of mechanisms. Two principal initiation reactions involve homolytic scission of preformed peroxides as catalyzed by metal ions and heme proteins and the reaction of activated oxygen species with the lipid substrate to yield peroxides and free radicals. Copper and cytochromes in the milk fat globule membrane may serve as focal points for initiation of lipid peroxidation by catalyzing homolytic scission of peroxides. Activated oxygen species which may be important in initiating oxidative changes in foods include singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, ozone, superoxide anion (perhydroxyl radical at low pH), and hydrogen peroxide. Chemical and enzymic reactions in biological materials can generate singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion, and hydrogen peroxide. Ozone is primarily a product of photoreactions in polluted air. Reactions involving singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, and ozone with food constituents ultimately can yield peroxides which decompose to initiate oxidative chain reactions. Superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide are relatively inert toward organic molecules but can decompose to produce the more reactive singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical. Inhibition of reactions initiated by reactive oxygen species in foods should be very important in preserving the oxidative stability of foods. This paper presents a brief review of possible initiation reactions for lipid peroxidation and inhibition of reactions of activated oxygen species that are of importance in food systems.

Abstract
Activated oxygen species which may be important in initiating oxidative changes in foods include singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, ozone, superoxide anion (perhydroxyl radical at low pH), and hydrogen peroxide. Chemical and enzymic reactions known to occur in biological materials can generate singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion, and hydrogen peroxide. Ozone is primarily a product of photoreactions in polluted air. Reactions involving singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, and ozone with food constituents can ultimately yield peroxides which decompose to initiate oxidative chain reactions. Superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide are relatively inert toward organic molecules but can decompose to produce the more reactive singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radical. Inhibition of reactions initiated by reactive oxygen species in foods should be very important in preserving the oxidative stability of foods. The generation, detection, measurement, reaction, and inhibition of reactions of active oxygen species are surveyed in this review.

Abstract
It is attempted to describe the complex pathogenesis of the inflammatory reaction by analysing the mechanisms of several reactions involved. Phagocytosis is a central phenomenon of host defense mechanisms responding to an invasion of foreign bodies. The induction of secondary reactions following phagocytosis is looked at. Several pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for a switch from acute to chronic inflammation are suggested. Known principles of the autonomous regulation of cell effector functions are discussed in relation to their participation in inflammatory reactions.

Abstract
Human platelets and platelet particulate fractions were found to emit a burst of chemiluminescence during incubation with arachidonic acid. The magnitude of light emission was directly related to the number of platelets in the reaction mixture and varied little for the same individual from day to day. The chemiluminescence response of platelets was localized to the particulate fraction and was almost totally oxygen dependent. In addition to arachidonate, seven other polyunsaturated fatty acids, including several that are not prostaglandin precursors, also induced platelet chemiluminescence.A correlation was sought between chemiluminescence and platelet prostaglandin synthesis. Platelets incubated in low concentrations of aspirin, or platelets from subjects who had ingested aspirin, had markedly decreased arachidonic acid-induced chemiluminescence. Salicylic and sulfosalicylic acid had no inhibitory effect. A time-response curve of aspirin inhibition of arachidonate-induced chemiluminescence closely paralleled a time-response curve of aspirin inhibition of malondialdehyde production. Linoleic acid-induced platelet chemiluminescence was also markedly inhibited using aspirin-incubated platelets or platelets from subjects who had ingested aspirin. These studies implicate activation of the enzyme prostaglandin synthetase in the arachidonate-induced platelet chemiluminescence. They provide evidence that linoleic acid may also specifically activate platelet cyclooxygenase to produce electronically excited species capable of light emission.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence of human alveolar macrophages (AM) was evaluated in vitro. Unstimulated AM generated chemiluminescence that remained constant during incubation. Addition of heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus 502A (HKB) or a chemical agent, phorbol myristate acetate, produced high rates of chemiluminescence that were significantly (P less than 0.05) increased over unstimulated AM. Phorbol myristate acetate-and HKB-stimulated increases in AM chemiluminescence were completely blocked by the enzyme superoxide dismutase. In comparison with unstimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes, unstimulated AM had significantly (P less than 0.005) greater levels of chemiluminescence. However, after stimulation by phorbol myristate acetate or HKB, AM showed less chemiluminescence than similarly treated polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Abstract
The relationship between the degradation reaction of cytochrome P-450 and lipid peroxidation was studied utilizing bovine adrenal cortex mitochondria. The two reactions were found to be closely correlated in terms of their response to storage of the mitochondrial preparation, stimulation by Fe2+, inhibition by EDTA and their initiation by cumene hydroperoxide. Both reactions were also found not to be inhibited by catalase, superoxide dismutase, 1,4-diazabicyclo-(2,2,2)-octane and alcohols, indicating that H2O2, superoxide, singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals do not participate in these reactions. Yet, diphenylamine proved to be a powerful inhibitor for both reactions, suggesting the involvement of a radical species. Cumene hydroperoxide could induce these two reactions at below 0.1 mM concentrations in the presence of molecular oxygen. The chemiluminescence observed during the Fe2+-mediated lipid peroxidation reaction which was not inhibited by either superoxide dismutase or 1,4-diazabicyclo-(2,2,2)-octane, was biphasic: one was a rapid burst; and the other was a slowly increasing emission. The latter portion of the emission of light coincided with the formation of malondialdehyde. These results indicate that in adrenal cortex mitochondria the degradation of cytochrome P-450 is closely related to lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
In the presence of Fe-3+ and complexing anions, the peroxidation of unsaturated liver microsomal lipid in both intact microsomes and in a model system containing extracted microsomal lipid can be promoted by either NADPH and NADPH : cytochrome c reductase or by xanthine and xanthine oxidase. Erythrocuprein effectively inhibits the activity promoted by xanthine and xanthine oxidase but produces much less inhibition of NADPH-dependent peroxidation. The singlet-oxygen trapping agent, 1, 3-diphenylisobenzofuran, had no effect on NADPH-dependent peroxidation but strongly inhibited the peroxidation promoted by xanthine and xanthine oxidase. NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation was also shown to be unaffected by hydroxyl radical scavengers.. The addition of catalase had no effect on NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation, but it significantly increased the rate of malondialdehyde formation in the reaction promoted by xanthine and xanthine oxidase. The results demonstrate that NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation is promoted by a reaction mechanism which does not involve either superoxide, singlet oxygen, HOOH, or the hydroxyl radical. It is concluded that NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation is initiated by the reduction of Fe-3+ followed by the decomposition of hydroperoxides to generate alkoxyl radicals. The initiation reaction may involve some form of the perferryl ion or other metal ion species generated during oxidation of Fe-2+ by oxygen.

Abstract
Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes kill a colorless mutant strain of Sarcina lutea much more readily than a carotenoid-containing strain. A similar protective effect has been reported in the organism during photodynamic inactivation, where it is attributable to the quenchintg of singlet excited oxygen by carotenoids. The findings with leukocytes support the suggestion that singlet excited oxygen acts as one of the mediators of their bactericidal action.

Abstract
During the process of phagocytosis, human leukocytes emit a burst of luminescence which can be measured in a liquid scintillation spectrometer. The enzyme superoxide dismutase, which removes superoxide anions (O(2.)), inhibited this chemiluminescence by 70% at a concentration of 100 mug/ml. The enzyme did not inhibit phagocytosis. These results support other studies indicating that O(2.) is elaborated by phagocytizing leukocytes. They also indicate that O(2.) plays a major role in phagocytosis-associated chemiluminescence, though not necessarily as the luminescing agent. Catalase and benzoate inhibited the chemiluminescence of phagocytosis to a slight extent, suggesting that hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical, respectively, might also be involved in this phenomenon. The relationship between the mediators of chemiluminescence and those responsible for phagocytic bactericidal activity remains to be defined.
