Role of Oxidative RNA Damage in Chronic-Degenerative Diseases. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2015; 2015:358713.

Abstract
Normal cellular metabolism and exposure to ionizing and ultraviolet radiations and exogenous agents produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Due to their reactivity, they can interact with many critical biomolecules and induce cell damage. The reaction of ROS with free nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides, or oligonucleotides can generate numerous distinct modifications in nucleic acids. Oxidative damage to DNA has been widely investigated and is strongly implicated in the development of many chronic-degenerative diseases. In contrast, RNA damage is a poorly examined field in biomedical research. In this review, I discuss the importance of RNA as a target of oxidative damage and the role of oxidative damage to RNA in the pathogenesis of some chronic-degenerative diseases, such as neurological disorders, atherosclerosis, and cancer. Furthermore, I review recent evidence suggesting that RNA may be the target for toxic agents and indicating RNA degradation as a powerful tool to treat any pathology in which there is an aberrant expression of mRNA and/or its gene products.

Abstract
NO synthase enzymes (NOS) support unique single-electron transitions of a bound H(4)B cofactor during catalysis. Previous studies showed that both the pterin structure and surrounding protein residues impact H(4)B redox function during catalysis. A conserved Arg residue (Arg375 in iNOS) forms hydrogen bonds with the H(4)B ring. In order to understand the role of this residue in modulating the function of H(4)B and overall NO synthesis of the enzyme, we generated and characterized three mutants R375D, R375K and R375N of the oxygenase domain of inducible NOS (iNOSoxy). The mutations affected the dimer stability of iNOSoxy and its binding affinity toward substrates and H(4)B to varying degrees. Optical spectra of the ferric, ferrous, ferrous dioxy, ferrous-NO, ferric-NO, and ferrous-CO forms of each mutant were similar to the wild-type. However, mutants displayed somewhat lower heme midpoint potentials and faster ferrous heme-NO complex reactivity with O(2). Unlike the wild-type protein, mutants could not oxidize NOHA to nitrite in a H(2)O(2)-driven reaction. Mutation could potentially change the ferrous dioxy decay rate, H(4)B radical formation rate, and the amount of the Arg hydroxylation during single turnover Arg hydroxylation reaction. All mutants were able to form heterodimers with the iNOS G450A full-length protein and displayed lower NO synthesis activities and uncoupled NADPH consumption. We conclude that the conserved residue Arg375 (1) regulates the tempo and extent of the electron transfer between H(4)B and ferrous dioxy species and (2) controls the reactivity of the heme-based oxidant formed after electron transfer from H(4)B during steady state NO synthesis and H(2)O(2)-driven NOHA oxidation. Thus, Arg375 modulates the redox function of H(4)B and is important in controlling the catalytic function of NOS enzymes.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) a free radical having both cytoprotective as well as tumor promoting agent is formed from l-arginine by converting it to l-citrulline via nitric oxide synthase enzymes. The reaction product of nitric oxide with superoxide generates potent oxidizing agent, peroxynitrite which is the main mediator of tissue and cellular injury. Peroxynitrite is reactive towards many biomolecules which includes amino acids, nucleic acid bases; metal containing compounds, etc. NO metabolites may play a key role in mediating many of the genotoxic/carcinogenic effects as DNA damage, protein or lipid modification, etc. The basic reactions of nitric oxide can be divided as direct effect of the radical where it alone plays a role in either damaging or protecting the cell milieu and an indirect effect in which the byproducts of nitric oxide formed by convergence of two independent radical generating pathways play the role in biological reactions which mainly involve oxidative and nitrosative stress. Nitric oxide is also capable of directly interacting with mitochondria through inhibition of respiration or by permeability transition. Reaction of nitric oxide with metal ions include its direct interaction with the metals or with oxo complexes thereby reducing them to lower valent state. Excessive production of nitric oxide can be studied by inhibiting the synthetic pathway of nitric oxide using both selective or specific nitric oxide synthase inhibitor or non-selective nitric oxide synthase inhibitor with respect to isoforms of nitric oxide.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease of young adults that is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. No effective medical therapy is available. Minocycline has been found to exert biological effects independent of its antimicrobial properties, including anti-inflammatory activities such as inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase, upregulation of interleukin 10, and direct suppressive effect on B- and T-cell function. Minocycline may also inhibit cell death pathways by reducing both proapoptotic and proinflammatory enzyme activation. We sought to investigate the safety and efficacy of minocycline among patients with PSC. METHODS We evaluated the efficacy of minocycline in patients with PSC in a pilot study. Sixteen patients with PSC were enrolled. Minocycline, 100 mg orally twice daily, was given for 1 year. RESULTS A statistically significant improvement in serum alkaline phosphatase activity (330 U/l vs. 265 U/l, P=0.04) and Mayo risk score (0.55 vs. 0.02, P=0.05) occurred with treatment. Serum bilirubin and albumin remained essentially unchanged while on treatment. CONCLUSIONS The results of this pilot study indicate that minocycline is reasonably well tolerated and potentially effective in patients with PSC. These findings might be explained by the anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties of minocycline. Though the data presented are too preliminary to support the clinical use of minocycline in the treatment of PSC at this time, its use should be further investigated.

Abstract
In contrast to damage of genomic DNA and despite its potential to affect cell physiology, RNA damage is a poorly examined field in biomedical research. Potential triggers of RNA damage as well as its pathophysiological implications remain largely unknown. While less lethal than mutations in genome, such non-acutely lethal insults to cells have been recently associated with underlying mechanisms of several human chronic diseases. We investigated whether RNA damage could be related to the exposure of particular xenobiotics by testing the RNA-damaging activity of a series of chemicals with different mechanisms of action. Cultured human T-lymphoblastoid cells were treated with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), H(2)O(2), doxorubicin, spermine, or S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP). Furthermore, we studied the potential protective activity of a pomegranate extract against RNA damage induced by different chemicals. Special attention has been paid to the protective mechanisms of the extract. The protective effect of pomegranate can be mediated by alterations of the rates of toxic agent absorption and uptake, by trapping of electrophiles as well as free radicals, and protection of nucleophilic sites in RNA. We used two different treatment protocols (pre- and co-treatment) for understanding the mechanism of the inhibitory activity of pomegranate. We demonstrated that total RNA is susceptible to chemical attack. A degradation of total RNA could be accomplished with doxorubicin, H(2)O(2), spermine and SNAP. However, EMS, a well-known DNA-damaging agent, was devoid of RNA-damaging properties, while spermine and SNAP, although lacking of DNA-damaging properties, were able to damage RNA. Pomegranate reduced the RNA-damaging effect of doxorubicin, H(2)O(2), and spermine. Its inhibitory activity could be related with its ability to forms complexes with doxorubicin and H(2)O(2), or interacts with the intracellular formation of reactive species mediating their toxicity. For spermine, an alteration of the rates of spermine absorption and uptake can also be involved.

Abstract
1. Centrally, nitric oxide (NO) is a sympathoinhibitory substance. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) have an impaired central nitroxidergic system and, consequently, NO-mediated decrease in sympathetic activity is exacerbated in SHR compared with Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. We have demonstrated previously that acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is enhanced by central NO administration. Therefore, in the present study, we hypothesized that accentuation of the HPV by NO would be exacerbated in SHR compared with WKY rats. 2. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure, systemic mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac output and heart rate were measured in pentobarbitone-anaesthetized, artificially ventilated, male SHR and WKY rats. The brief, transient response to a bolus intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) dose of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 150 microg in 10 microL) was recorded in all rats. Upon recovery, rats were exposed to acute hypoxia (10% O(2) for 4 min) before and after the i.c.v. administration of the NO donor 3-[4-morpholinyl]-sydnonimine-hydrochloride (SIN-1; 100 microg in 10 microL). 3. In WKY rats, central inhibition of NO synthesis by L-NAME caused a mild increase in tonic pulmonary vascular tone and induced a large systemic pressor response. These responses were not observed in SHR. In contrast, SIN-1 failed to alter tonic pulmonary vascular tone, although it enhanced the HPV in WKY rats and, significantly more so, in SHR. 4. These results confirm that accentuation of the HPV by NO is exacerbated in SHR compared with WKY rats. The mechanism(s) by which the HPV is accentuated by central NO remains to be fully elucidated, but is likely to be associated with the sympathoinhibitory effects of NO and, if so, supports the idea that the nitroxidergic system of the SHR is impaired. Further electrophysiological studies are essential to confirm these assumptions.

Abstract
The mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) remain unclear. Nitric oxide (NO) centrally attenuates sympathetic outflow and, therefore, may chronically modulate pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), especially during the development of chronic hypoxia-induced PAH. To test this hypothesis, 20 male Sprague-Dawley rats (B.W. approximately 200-320 g) were chronically implanted with a telemetric transmitter for the continuous measurement of PAP, and an osmotic pump for intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of either aCSF (control), L-NAME (150 microg/kg/day) or the NO-donor, SIN-1 (100 microg/kg/day). Rats spent 7 days in normoxia, and then 14 days in hypoxia (CH=12% O2). In normoxia, exogenous NO elevated PAP by approximately 64%, although this increase in PAP could be prevented by isoproterenol (200 mug/kg). PAH occurred in all rats following 14 days of hypoxia. L-NAME did not alter baseline MPAP or the physiological responses to hypoxia. Our results suggest that central NO increases MPAP, although the mechanisms involved remain to be fully elucidated.

Abstract
1. Chronic hypoxia causes sustained pulmonary hypertension and, although impairment of the pulmonary endothelial nitric oxide (NO) pathway has been implicated, no study has described the central role of NO in modulating pulmonary vascular tone and reactivity. Centrally, NO inhibits sympathetic outflow, so we hypothesised that central NO would modulate pulmonary vascular tone and its reactivity to acute hypoxia, especially in the hypertensive state. 2. Male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to normoxia (N) or chronic hypoxia (CH; 12% O2) for 14 days. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), systemic mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), cardiac output and heart rate were then measured in pentobarbitone-anaesthetized, artificially ventilated rats. The N and CH rats were exposed to acute hypoxia (10% O2 for 4 min) after the intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (control) and then again after either i.c.v. NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME; 150 microg in 10 microL) or 3-morpholino-sydnonimine hydrochloride (SIN-1; 100 microg in 10 microL). 3. Chronic hypoxia caused pulmonary hypertension (MPAP 20+/-1 vs 30+/-1 mmHg in N and CH rats, respectively) and attenuated acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Central inhibition of NO synthesis (by l-NAME) did not alter baseline MPAP or the acute HPV in either N or CH rats, but it did elevate MABP. The NO donor SIN-1 did not alter baseline MPAP, but it did enhance (N rats) or restore (CH rats) the HPV and decreased MABP. 4. The results of the present study indicate that central NO has a limited role in the tonic modulation of MPAP during normoxia and after chronic hypoxia. However, the acute HPV seems to be enhanced by exogenous NO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible harmful cytogenetic effects associated with chronic tonsillitis by analyzing the micronucleus frequency and other nuclear abnormalities in exfoliated buccal epithelial cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study consisted of 20 children with chronic tonsillitis, and 20 control subjects with similar age and sex. The ages ranged between 5 and 12 years old (mean age: 7.5). The patients were diagnosed as having chronic tonsillitis on the basis of history, throat culture and clinical examinations. Buccal cell samples were collected with a wooden spatula. The samples were then applied to clean microscope slides. Smears were air dried and fixed in methanol:acetic acid. Then slides were stained by the Feulgen reaction technique. Three slides were prepared for each subject and 1000 cells were evaluated per slide to determine the frequencies of micronucleus and other nuclear abnormalities (binucleats, karyorrhexis and karyolysis). Statistically, Mann-Whitney U-test was used to analyze and compare the data. RESULTS The mean micronucleus frequencies in patient and control groups were 5.29+/-1.67 and 1.58+/-0.33, respectively. In the patient group, mean binucleus, karyorrhexis and karyolysis frequencies were 3.13+/-1.2, 2.04+/-0.64, and 1.74+/-0.47, respectively. However, in the control group, mean binucleus, karyorrhexis and karyolysis frequencies were 1.43+/-0.47, 1.26+/-0.45, and 0.88+/-0.27, respectively. The mean frequencies of all parameters in the patient group were higher than the control values, and the difference was found to be statistically significant (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Our results revealed that children with chronic tonsillitis could be under risk of significant cytogenetic damage.

Abstract
Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) is a bifunctional [4Fe-4S] protein that controls iron homeostasis. Switching off its function from an aconitase to an apo-IRP1 interacting with iron-responsive element-containing mRNAs depends on the reduced availability of iron in labile iron pool (LIP). Although the modulation of IRP1 by nitric oxide has been characterized, its impact on LIP remains unknown. Here, we show that inhibition of IRP1 aconitase activity and induction of its IRE-binding activity during exposure of L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells to NO are associated with an increase in LIP levels. Removal of NO resulted in a reverse regulation of IRP1 activities accompanied by a decrease of LIP. The increased iron burden in LIP caused by NO exacerbated hydrogen peroxide-induced genotoxicity in L5178Y cells. We demonstrate that the increase in LIP levels in response to chronic but not burst exposure of L5178Y cells to NO is associated with alterations in the expression of proteins involved in iron metabolism.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important messenger molecule with multiple biological activities. In the present study, sper/NO, a NO generator, showed a biphasic effect on the proliferation of human salivary gland neoplastic (HSG) cells. Sper/NO of less than 20 micro M stimulated cells to depart from the G2/M phase and so enhanced cell division and cell proliferation. But sper/NO at higher concentrations restrained cell proliferation and blocked cell-cycle progression. Cells were mainly arrested in the G2/M phase and S phase when they were treated with 100-200 and 300-500 micro M sper/NO, respectively. A special S-phase peak was detected in a histogram of the cell-phase distribution of sper/NO-treated HSG. When the concentration of sper/NO increased, the S-phase peak shifted from early the G2/M-phase to later the G1-S-phase boundary. Sper/NO-induced cell-cycle arrests were reversible when the cells were released from NO stress for 48h and hence cell proliferation was recovered. In addition, micronucleus, but no apoptosis, was produced in the sper/NO-treated cells, and its yield tended to a saturation value with increasing concentrations of sper/NO. The sper/NO-induced effects were effectively eliminated or reduced by treating cells with PTIO, a NO-specific scavenger, indicating that NO is the main source of these effects.

Abstract
In the oxygenase domain of mouse inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOSoxy), a conserved tryptophan residue, Trp-457, regulates the kinetics and extent of l-Arg oxidation to N(omega)-hydroxy-l-arginine (NOHA) by controlling electron transfer between bound (6R)-tetrahydrobiopterin (H(4)B) cofactor and the enzyme heme Fe(II)O(2) intermediate (Wang, Z. Q., Wei, C. C., Ghosh, S., Meade, A. L., Hemann, C., Hille, R., and Stuehr, D. J. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 12819-12825). To investigate whether NOHA oxidation to citrulline and nitric oxide (NO) is regulated by a similar mechanism, we performed single turnover reactions with wild type iNOSoxy and mutants W457F and W457A. Ferrous proteins containing NOHA plus H(4)B or NOHA plus 7,8-dihydrobiopterin (H(2)B), were mixed with O(2)-containing buffer, and then heme spectral transitions and product formation were followed versus time. All three proteins formed a Fe(II)O(2) intermediate with identical spectral characteristics. In wild type, H(4)B increased the disappearance rate of the Fe(II)O(2) intermediate relative to H(2)B, and its disappearance was coupled to the formation of a Fe(III)NO immediate product prior to formation of ferric enzyme. In W457F and W457A, the disappearance rate of the Fe(II)O(2) intermediate was slower than in wild type and took place without detectable build-up of the heme Fe(III)NO immediate product. Rates of Fe(II)O(2) disappearance correlated with rates of citrulline formation in all three proteins, and reactions containing H(4)B formed 1.0, 0.54, and 0.38 citrulline/heme in wild type, W457F, and W457A iNOSoxy, respectively. Thus, Trp-457 modulates the kinetics of NOHA oxidation by iNOSoxy, and this is important for determining the extent of citrulline and NO formation. Our findings support a redox role for H(4)B during NOHA oxidation to NO by iNOSoxy.
