Abstract
p53 is a key tumor suppressor that is frequently mutated in human tumors. In this study, we investigated how p53 is regulated in precancerous lesions prior to mutations in the p53 gene. Analyzing esophageal cells in conditions of genotoxic stress that promotes development of esophageal adenocarcinoma, we find that p53 protein is adducted with reactive isolevuglandins (isoLGs), products of lipid peroxidation. Modification of p53 protein with isoLGs diminishes its acetylation and binding to the promoters of p53 target genes causing modulation of p53-dependent transcription. It also leads to accumulation of adducted p53 protein in intracellular amyloid-like aggregates that can be inhibited by isoLG scavenger 2-HOBA in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our studies reveal a posttranslational modification of p53 protein that causes molecular aggregation of p53 protein and its non-mutational inactivation in conditions of DNA damage that may play an important role in human tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Hypertension remains a major health problem in Western Societies, and blood pressure is poorly controlled in a third of patients despite use of multiple drugs. Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to hypertension, and mitochondria-targeted agents can potentially improve treatment of hypertension. We have proposed that mitochondrial oxidative stress produces reactive dicarbonyl lipid peroxidation products, isolevuglandins, and that scavenging of mitochondrial isolevuglandins improves vascular function and reduces hypertension. To test this hypothesis, we have studied the accumulation of mitochondrial isolevuglandins-protein adducts in patients with essential hypertension and Ang II (angiotensin II) model of hypertension using mass spectrometry and Western blot analysis. The therapeutic potential of targeting mitochondrial isolevuglandins was tested by the novel mitochondria-targeted isolevuglandin scavenger, mito2HOBA. Mitochondrial isolevuglandins in arterioles from hypertensive patients were 250% greater than in arterioles from normotensive subjects, and ex vivo mito2HOBA treatment of arterioles from hypertensive subjects increased deacetylation of a key mitochondrial antioxidant, SOD2 (superoxide dismutase 2). In human aortic endothelial cells stimulated with Ang II plus TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-α, mito2HOBA reduced mitochondrial superoxide and cardiolipin oxidation, a specific marker of mitochondrial oxidative stress. In Ang II-infused mice, mito2HOBA diminished mitochondrial isolevuglandins-protein adducts, raised Sirt3 (sirtuin 3) mitochondrial deacetylase activity, reduced vascular superoxide, increased endothelial nitric oxide, improved endothelium-dependent relaxation, and attenuated hypertension. Mito2HOBA preserved mitochondrial respiration, protected ATP production, and reduced mitochondrial permeability pore opening in Ang II-infused mice. These data support the role of mitochondrial isolevuglandins in endothelial dysfunction and hypertension. We conclude that scavenging of mitochondrial isolevuglandins may have therapeutic potential in treatment of vascular dysfunction and hypertension.

Abstract
Oxidative injury due to elevated levels of reactive oxygen species is implicated in cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, lung and liver diseases, and many cancers. Antioxidant therapies have generally been ineffective at treating these diseases, potentially due to ineffective doses but also due to interference with critical host defense and signaling processes. Therefore, alternative strategies to prevent oxidative injury are needed. Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species induce lipid peroxidation, generating reactive lipid dicarbonyls. These lipid oxidation products may be the most salient mediators of oxidative injury, as they cause cellular and organ dysfunction by adducting to proteins, lipids, and DNA. Small-molecule compounds have been developed in the past decade to selectively and effectively scavenge these reactive lipid dicarbonyls. This review outlines evidence supporting the role of lipid dicarbonyls in disease pathogenesis, as well as preclinical data supporting the efficacy of novel dicarbonyl scavengers in treating or preventing disease.

Abstract
Products of lipid peroxidation include a number of reactive lipid aldehydes such as malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxy-nonenal, 4-oxo-nonenal, and isolevuglandins (IsoLGs). Although these all contribute to disease processes, the most reactive are the IsoLGs, which rapidly adduct to lysine and other cellular primary amines, leading to changes in protein function, cross-linking and immunogenicity. Their rapid reactivity means that only IsoLG adducts, and not the unreacted aldehyde, can be readily measured. This high reactivity also makes it challenging for standard cellular defense mechanisms such as aldehyde reductases and oxidases to dispose of them before they react with proteins and other cellular amines. This led us to seek small molecule primary amines that might trap and inactivate IsoLGs before they could modify cellular proteins or other endogenous cellular amines such as phosphatidylethanolamines to cause disease. Our studies identified 2-aminomethylphenols including 2-hydroxybenzylamine as IsoLG scavengers. Subsequent studies showed that they also trap other lipid dicarbonyls that react with primary amines such as 4-oxo-nonenal and malondialdehyde, but not hydroxyalkenals like 4-hydroxy-nonenal that preferentially react with soft nucleophiles. This review describes the use of these 2-aminomethylphenols as dicarbonyl scavengers to assess the contribution of IsoLGs and other amine-reactive lipid dicarbonyls to disease and as therapeutic agents.
