Abstract
Dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) are important physiological derivatives of nitric oxide. These complexes have a wide range of biological activities, with antioxidant and antiradical ones being of particular interest and importance. We studied the interaction between DNICs associated with the dipeptide L-carnosine or serum albumin and prooxidants under conditions mimicking oxidative stress. The ligands of these DNICs were histidine residues of carnosine or His39 and Cys34 in bovine serum albumin. Carnosine-bound DNICs reduced the level of piperazine free radicals in the reaction system containing tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH), bivalent iron ions, a nitroxyl anion donor (Angeli's salt), and HEPES buffer. The ability of carnosine DNICs to intercept organic free radicals produced from t-BOOH decay could lead to this effect. In addition, carnosine DNICs reacted with the superoxide anion radical (O2•-) formed in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase enzymatic system. They also reduced the oxoferryl form of the heme group formed in the reaction of myoglobin with t-BOOH. DNICs associated with serum albumin were found to be rapidly destroyed in a model system containing metmyoglobin and t-BOOH. At the same time, these protein DNICs inhibited the t-BOOH-induced oxidative degradation of coenzymes Q9 and Q10 in rat myocardial homogenate. The possible mechanisms of the antioxidant and antiradical action of the DNICs studied and their role in the metabolism of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are discussed.

Abstract
Heme oxygenase (HO) has been shown to control various cellular processes in both mammals and Drosophila melanogaster. Here, we investigated how changes in HO levels in neurons and glial cells during development affect adult flies, by using the TARGET Drosophila system to manipulate the expression of the ho gene. The obtained data showed differences in adult survival, maximum lifespan, climbing, locomotor activity, and sleep, which depended on the level of HO (after ho up-regulation or downregulation), the timing of expression (chronic or at specific developmental stages), cell types (neurons or glia), sex (males or females), and age of flies. In addition to ho, the effects of changing the mRNA level of the Drosophila CNC factor gene (NRF2 homolog in mammals and master regulator of HO), were also examined to compare with those observed after changing ho expression. We showed that HO levels in neurons and glia must be maintained at an appropriate physiological level during development to ensure the well-being of adults. We also found that the downregulation of ho in either neurons or glia in the brain is compensated by ho expressed in the retina.

Abstract
Multiple organ failure (MOF) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care patients, but the mechanisms causing this severe syndrome are still poorly understood. Inflammatory response, tissue hypoxia, immune and cellular metabolic dysregulations, and endothelial and microvascular dysfunction are the main features of MOF, but the exact mechanisms leading to MOF are still unclear. Recent progress in the membrane research suggests that cellular plasma membranes play an important role in key functions of diverse organs. Exploration of mechanisms contributing to plasma membrane damage and repair suggest that these processes can be the missing link in the development of MOF. Elevated levels of extracellular phospholipases, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, pore-forming proteins (PFPs), and dysregulation of osmotic homeostasis occurring upon systemic inflammatory response are the major extracellular inducers of plasma membrane damage, which may simultaneously operate in different organs causing their profound dysfunction. Hypoxia activates similar processes, but they predominantly occur within the cells targeting intracellular membrane compartments and ultimately causing cell death. To combat the plasma membrane damage cells have developed several repair mechanisms, such as exocytosis, shedding, and protein-driven membrane remodeling. Analysis of knowledge on these mechanisms reveals that systemic damage to plasma membranes may be associated with potentially reversible MOF, which can be quickly recovered, if pathological stimuli are eliminated. Alternatively, it can be transformed in a non-resolving phase, if repair mechanisms are not sufficient to deal with a large damage or if the damage is extended to intracellular compartments essential for vital cellular functions.

Abstract
Plant growth under abiotic stress conditions significantly enhances intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative status of plant cells is directly affected by the modulation of iron homeostasis. Among mammals and plants, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a well-known antioxidant enzyme. It catalyzes oxygenation of heme, thereby producing Fe2+, CO and biliverdin as byproducts. The antioxidant potential of HO-1 is primarily due to its catalytic reaction byproducts. Biliverdin and bilirubin possess conjugated π-electrons which escalate the ability of these biomolecules to scavenge free radicals. CO also enhances the ROS scavenging ability of plants cells by upregulating catalase and peroxidase activity. Enhanced expression of HO-1 in plants under oxidative stress accompanies sequestration of iron in specialized iron storage proteins localized in plastids and mitochondria, namely ferritin for Fe3+ storage and frataxin for storage of Fe-S clusters, respectively. Nitric oxide (NO) crosstalks with HO-1 at multiple levels, more so in plants under oxidative stress, in order to maintain intracellular iron status. Formation of dinitrosyl-iron complexes (DNICs) significantly prevents Fenton reaction during oxidative stress. DNICs also release NO upon dissociation in target cells over long distance in plants. They also function as antioxidants against superoxide anions and lipidic free radicals. A number of NO-modulated transcription factors also facilitate iron homeostasis in plant cells. Plants facing oxidative stress exhibit modulation of lateral root formation by HO-1 through NO and auxin-dependent pathways. The present review provides an in-depth analysis of the structure-function relationship of HO-1 in plants and mammals, correlating them with their adaptive mechanisms of survival under stress.

Abstract
Dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) are a physiological form of nitric oxide (•NO) in an organism. They are able not only to deposit and transport •NO, but are also to act as antioxidant and antiradical agents. However, the mechanics of hemoglobin-bound DNICs (Hb-DNICs) protecting Hb against peroxynitrite-caused, mediated oxidative modification have not yet been scrutinized. Through EPR spectroscopy we show that Hb-DNICs are destroyed under the peroxynitrite action in a dose-dependent manner. At the same time, DNICs inhibit the oxidation of tryptophan and tyrosine residues and formation of carbonyl derivatives. They also prevent the formation of covalent crosslinks between Hb subunits and degradation of a heme group. These effects can arise from the oxoferryl heme form being reduced, and they can be connected with the ability of DNICs to directly intercept peroxynitrite and free radicals, which emerge due to its homolysis. These data show that DNICs may ensure protection from myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, HP) is a universal toxin that organisms deploy to kill competing or invading cells. Bactericidal action of H2O2 presents several questions. First, the lethal H2O2 concentrations in bacterial cultures are 1000x higher than, for example, those calculated for the phagosome. Second, H2O2-alone kills bacteria in cultures either by mode-one, via iron-mediated chromosomal damage, or by mode-two, via unknown targets, but the killing mode in phagosomes is unclear. Third, phagosomal H2O2 toxicity is enhanced by production of nitric oxide (NO), but in vitro studies disagree: some show NO synergy with H2O2 antimicrobial action, others instead report alleviation. To investigate this "NO paradox," we treated Escherichia coli with various concentrations of H2O2-alone or H2O2+NO, measuring survival and chromosome stability. We found that all NO concentrations make sublethal H2O2 treatments highly lethal, via triggering catastrophic chromosome fragmentation (mode-one killing). Yet, NO-alone is not lethal, potentiating H2O2 toxicity by blocking H2O2 scavenging in cultures. Catalases represent obvious targets of NO inhibition, and catalase-deficient mutants are indeed killed equally by H2O2-alone or H2O2+NO treatments, also showing similar levels of chromosome fragmentation. Interestingly, iron chelation blocks chromosome fragmentation in catalase-deficient mutants without blocking H2O2-alone lethality, indicating mode-two killing. In fact, mode-two killing of WT cells by much higher H2O2 concentrations is transiently alleviated by NO, reproducing the "NO paradox." We conclude that NO potentiates H2O2 toxicity by promoting mode-one killing (via catastrophic chromosome fragmentation) by otherwise static low H2O2 concentrations, while transiently suppressing mode-two killing by immediately lethal high H2O2 concentrations.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOX) are non-heme iron-containing enzymes that catalyze regio- and stereo-selective dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Mammalian LOXs participate in the eicosanoid cascade during the inflammatory response, using preferentially arachidonic acid (AA) as substrate, for the synthesis of leukotrienes (LT) and other oxidized-lipid intermediaries. This review focus on lipoxygenases (LOX) structural and kinetic implications on both catalysis selectivity, as well as the basic and clinical implications of inhibition and interactions with nitric oxide (•NO) and nitroalkenes pathways. During inflammation •NO levels are increasingly favoring the formation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). •NO may act itself as an inhibitor of LOX-mediated lipid oxidation by reacting with lipid peroxyl radicals. Besides, •NO may act as an O2 competitor in the LOX active site, thus displaying a protective role on lipid-peroxidation. Moreover, RNS such as nitrogen dioxide (•NO2) may react with lipid-derived species formed during LOX reaction, yielding nitroalkenes (NO2FA). NO2FA represents electrophilic compounds that could exert anti-inflammatory actions through the interaction with critical LOX nucleophilic amino acids. We will discuss how nitro-oxidative conditions may limit the availability of common LOX substrates, favoring alternative routes of PUFA metabolization to anti-inflammatory or pro-resolutive pathways.

Abstract
The heme oxygenase (HO) system is essential for heme and iron homeostasis and necessary for adaptation to cell stress. HO degrades heme to biliverdin (BV), carbon monoxide (CO) and ferrous iron. Although mostly beneficial, the HO reaction can also produce deleterious effects, predominantly attributed to excessive product formation. Underrated so far is, however, that HO may exert effects additionally via modulation of the cellular heme levels. Heme, besides being an often-quoted generator of oxidative stress, plays also an important role as a signaling molecule. Heme controls the anti-oxidative defense, circadian rhythms, activity of ion channels, glucose utilization, erythropoiesis, and macrophage function. This broad spectrum of effects depends on its interaction with proteins ranging from transcription factors to enzymes. In degrading heme, HO has the potential to exert effects also via modulation of heme-mediated pathways. In this review, we will discuss the multitude of pathways regulated by heme to enlarge the view on HO and its role in cell physiology. We will further highlight the contribution of HO to pathophysiology, which results from a dysregulated balance between heme and the degradation products formed by HO.

Abstract
Oxidative damages have adverse effects on mammals. Growing studies have focused on exploring new antioxidants. Here, we report that Lactobacillus frumenti increases the total antioxidation capacity activities and decreases the total reactive oxygen species levels in porcine intestinal epithelial cells. Comparative proteomics revealed that expressions of peroxiredoxin 2, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1, NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1, antioxidant protein 1, and metallothionein-2A, which are associated with antioxidant defense system, were significantly increased with L. frumenti treatment. In germ-free mice, L. frumenti treatment also remarkably improves the intestinal antioxidant capacity. We further illustrated that nitric oxide production-mediated by nitric oxide synthase 1 activation is essential for L. frumenti-induced improvements in intestinal epithelial antioxidant capacity and barrier function. This study suggested that L. frumenti may be a potential probiotic used to prevent oxidative stress-induced aging and diseases in mammals.-Nie, Y., Hu, J., Hou, Q., Zheng, W., Zhang, X., Yang, T., Ma, L., Yan, X.

Abstract
Several large epidemiological and animal studies demonstrate a direct correlation between dietary heme iron intake and/or systemic iron levels and cancer risk in several cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the precise mechanisms for how heme iron contributes to CRC and how cancer cells respond to heme iron-induced stress are still unclear. Previously we have shown that one of the stress-inducible proteins, Sestrin2 (SESN2), is a novel tumor suppressor in colon by limiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling and tumor growth. But the relationship between heme iron and SESN2, especially in the context of colon carcinogenesis, was not investigated previously. Here, we found that hemin dose-dependently increased SESN2 expression in an oxidative stress and nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NFE2L2, NRF2)-dependent manner. Since SESN2 overexpression reduced hemin-induced oxidative stress, SESN2 could be an important target of NRF2 exerting antioxidant function. Indeed, expression of several oxidative stress responsive proteins such as NRF2 and its target genes was reduced by SESN2. Although we formerly reported that SESN2 expression was reduced after p53 mutation in colon tumors, mouse colon tumors, which have intact p53 and NRF2, induced SESN2 expression in response to iron stimulus. Although SESN2 overexpression decreased murine colon tumor cell growth both in vitro and in vivo, it rendered colon cancer cells more resistant to hemin-induced apoptosis and therefore promoted tumor growth during hemin treatment. Taken together, although SESN2 generally suppresses tumorigenesis, it can produce tumor-promoting role in iron-rich environment by suppressing oxidative stress-associated cancer cell death.

Abstract
The human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been used for tissue regeneration for over a century. In vivo (in utero), cells of the hAM are exposed to low oxygen tension (1-4% oxygen), while the hAM is usually cultured in atmospheric, meaning high, oxygen tension (20% oxygen). We tested the influence of oxygen tensions on mitochondrial and inflammatory parameters of human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMSCs). Freshly isolated hAMSCs were incubated for 4 days at 5% and 20% oxygen. We found 20% oxygen to strongly increase mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, especially in placental amniotic cells. Oxygen tension did not impact levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS); however, placental amniotic cells showed lower levels of ROS, independent of oxygen tension. In contrast, the release of nitric oxide was independent of the amniotic region but dependent on oxygen tension. Furthermore, IL-6 was significantly increased at 20% oxygen. To conclude, short-time cultivation at 20% oxygen of freshly isolated hAMSCs induced significant changes in mitochondrial function and release of IL-6. Depending on the therapeutic purpose, cultivation conditions of the cells should be chosen carefully for providing the best possible quality of cell therapy.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2018; 4:252.

Abstract
Background Macrophages are cells of the innate immune system that populate every organ. They are required not only for defense against invading pathogens and tissue repair but also for maintenance of tissue homeostasis and iron homeostasis. Aim The aim of this study is to understand whether heme oxygenase (HO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) contribute to the regulation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) activity and phagocytosis, two key components of macrophage function. Methods This study was carried out using resting J774A.1 macrophages treated with hemin or vehicle. Activity of NOS, HO, or NOX was inhibited using specific inhibitors. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation was determined by Amplex® red assay, and phagocytosis was measured using fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled bacteria. In addition, we analyzed the fate of the intracellular heme by using electron spin resonance. Results We show that both enzymes NOS and HO are essential for phagocytic activity of macrophages. NOS does not directly affect phagocytosis, but stimulates NOX activity via nitric oxide-triggered ROS production of mitochondria. Treatment of macrophages with hemin results in intracellular accumulation of ferrous heme and an inhibition of phagocytosis. In contrast to NOS, HO products, including carbon monoxide, neither clearly affect NOX activity nor clearly affect phagocytosis, but phagocytosis is accelerated by HO-mediated degradation of heme. Conclusion Both enzymes contribute to the bactericidal activity of macrophages independently, by controlling different pathways.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the major source of superoxide radicals and superoxide overproduction contributes to cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Endothelial dysfunction and diminished nitric oxide levels are early steps in the development of these pathological conditions. It is known that physiological production of nitric oxide reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, however, the precise mechanism of “antioxidant” effect of nitric oxide is not clear. In this work we tested the hypothesis that physiological levels of nitric oxide diminish mitochondrial superoxide production without inhibition of mitochondrial respiration. In order to test this hypothesis we analyzed effect of low physiological fluxes of nitric oxide (20 nM/min) on superoxide and hydrogen peroxide production by ESR spin probes and Amplex Red in isolated rat brain mitochondria. Indeed, low levels of nitric oxide substantially attenuated both basal and antimycin A-stimulated production of reactive oxygen species in the presence of succinate or glutamate/malate as mitochondrial substrates. Furthermore, slow releasing NO donor DPTA-NONOate (100 μM) did not change oxygen consumption in State 4 and State 3. However, the NO-donor strongly inhibited oxygen consumption in the presence of uncoupling agent CCCP, which is likely associated with inhibition of the over-reduced complex IV in uncoupled mitochondria. We have examined accumulation of dinitrosyl iron complexes and nitrosothiols in mitochondria treated with fast-releasing NO donor MAHMA NONOate (10 μM) for 30 min until complete release of NO. Following treatment with NO donor, mitochondria were frozen for direct detection of dinitrosyl iron complexes using Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) while accumulation of nitrosothiols was measured by ferrous-N-Methyl-D-glucamine dithiocarbamate complex, Fe(MGD)2, in lysed mitochondria. Treatment of mitochondria with NO-donor gave rise to ESR signal of dinitrosyl iron complexes while ESR spectra of Fe(MGD)2 supplemented mitochondrial lysates showed presence of both dinitrosyl iron complexes and nitrosothiols. We suggest that nitric oxide attenuates production of mitochondrial superoxide by post-translational modifications by nitrosylation of protein cysteine residues and formation of protein dinitrosyl iron complexes with thiol-containing ligands and, therefore, nitric oxide reduction in pathological conditions associated with endothelial dysfunction may increase mitochondrial oxidative stress.

Abstract
Changes in nitric oxide (NO) levels have been often associated with various forms of trauma, including secondary damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Several studies demonstrate the upregulation of NO synthase (NOS) enzymes, and concomitant increases in brain NO levels, which contribute to the TBI-associated glutamate cytotoxicity, including the pathogenesis of mitochondrial dysfunction. TBI is also associated with elevated NO levels in remote organs, indicating that TBI can induce systemic changes in NO regulation, which can be either beneficial or detrimental. Here we review the possible mechanisms responsible for changes in NO metabolism during TBI. Better understanding of the changes in NO homeostasis in TBI will be necessary to design rational therapeutic approaches for TBI. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Immune and Metabolic Alterations in Trauma and Sepsis edited by Dr. Raghavan Raju.

Abstract
Nitrite protects various organs from ischemia-reperfusion injury by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction. Here we provide evidence that this protection is due to the inhibition of iron-mediated oxidative reactions caused by the release of iron ions upon hypoxia. We show in a model of isolated rat liver mitochondria that upon hypoxia, mitochondria reduce nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) in amounts sufficient to inactivate redox-active iron ions by formation of inactive dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC). The scavenging of iron ions in turn prevents the oxidative modification of the outer mitochondrial membrane and the release of cytochrome c during reoxygenation. This action of nitrite protects mitochondrial function. The formation of DNIC with nitrite-derived NO could also be confirmed in an ischemia-reperfusion model in liver tissue. Our data suggest that the formation of DNIC is a key mechanism of nitrite-mediated cytoprotection.

Abstract
Dinitrosyl iron(i) complexes (DNICs), intracellular NO donors, are important factors in nitric oxide-dependent regulation of cellular metabolism and signal transduction. It has been shown that NO diminishes the toxicity of iron ions and vice versa. To gain insight into the possible role of DNIC in this phenomenon, we examined the effect of GS-DNIC formation on the ability of iron ions to mediate DNA damage, by treatment of the pUC19 plasmid with physiologically relevant concentrations of GS-DNIC. It was shown that GS-DNIC formation protects against the genotoxic effect of iron ions alone and iron ions in the presence of a naturally abundant antioxidant, GSH. This sheds new light on the iron-related protective effect of NO under the circumstances of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Dinitrosyliron complexes (DNIC) have been found in a variety of pathological settings associated with (•)NO. However, the iron source of cellular DNIC is unknown. Previous studies on this question using prolonged (•)NO exposure could be misleading due to the movement of intracellular iron among different sources. We here report that brief (•)NO exposure results in only barely detectable DNIC, but levels increase dramatically after 1-2 h of anoxia. This increase is similar quantitatively and temporally with increases in the chelatable iron, and brief (•)NO treatment prevents detection of this anoxia-induced increased chelatable iron by deferoxamine. DNIC formation is so rapid that it is limited by the availability of (•)NO and chelatable iron. We utilize this ability to selectively manipulate cellular chelatable iron levels and provide evidence for two cellular functions of endogenous DNIC formation, protection against anoxia-induced reactive oxygen chemistry from the Fenton reaction and formation by transnitrosation of protein nitrosothiols (RSNO). The levels of RSNO under these high chelatable iron levels are comparable with DNIC levels and suggest that under these conditions, both DNIC and RSNO are the most abundant cellular adducts of (•)NO.

Abstract
NO plays diverse roles in physiological and pathological processes, occasionally resulting in opposing effects, particularly in cells subjected to oxidative stress. NO mostly protects eukaryotes against oxidative injury, but was demonstrated to kill prokaryotes synergistically with H2O2. This could be a promising therapeutic avenue. However, recent conflicting findings were reported describing dramatic protective activity of NO. The previous studies of NO effects on prokaryotes applied a transient oxidative stress while arbitrarily checking the residual bacterial viability after 30 or 60min and ignoring the process kinetics. If NO-induced synergy and the oxidative stress are time-dependent, the elucidation of the cell killing kinetics is essential, particularly for survival curves exhibiting a "shoulder" sometimes reflecting sublethal damage as in the linear-quadratic survival models. We studied the kinetics of NO synergic effects on H2O2-induced killing of microbial pathogens. A synergic pro-oxidative activity toward gram-negative and gram-positive cells is demonstrated even at sub-μM/min flux of NO. For certain strains, the synergic effect progressively increased with the duration of cell exposure, and the linear-quadratic survival model best fit the observed survival data. In contrast to the failure of SOD to affect the bactericidal process, nitroxide SOD mimics abrogated the pro-oxidative synergy of NO/H2O2. These cell-permeative antioxidants, which hardly react with diamagnetic species and react neither with NO nor with H2O2, can detoxify redox-active transition metals and catalytically remove intracellular superoxide and nitrogen-derived reactive species such as (•)NO2 or peroxynitrite. The possible mechanism underlying the bactericidal NO synergy under oxidative stress and the potential therapeutic gain are discussed.

Abstract
Production of minute concentrations of superoxide (O2(*-)) and nitrogen monoxide (nitric oxide, NO*) plays important roles in several aspects of cellular signaling and metabolic regulation. However, in an inflammatory environment, the concentrations of these radicals can drastically increase and the antioxidant defenses may become overwhelmed. Thus, biological damage may occur owing to redox imbalance-a condition called oxidative and/or nitrosative stress. A complex interplay exists between iron metabolism, O2(*-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and NO*. Iron is involved in both the formation and the scavenging of these species. Iron deficiency (anemia) (ID(A)) is associated with oxidative stress, but its role in the induction of nitrosative stress is largely unclear. Moreover, oral as well as intravenous (iv) iron preparations used for the treatment of ID(A) may also induce oxidative and/or nitrosative stress. Oral administration of ferrous salts may lead to high transferrin saturation levels and, thus, formation of non-transferrin-bound iron, a potentially toxic form of iron with a propensity to induce oxidative stress. One of the factors that determine the likelihood of oxidative and nitrosative stress induced upon administration of an iv iron complex is the amount of labile (or weakly-bound) iron present in the complex. Stable dextran-based iron complexes used for iv therapy, although they contain only negligible amounts of labile iron, can induce oxidative and/or nitrosative stress through so far unknown mechanisms. In this review, after summarizing the main features of iron metabolism and its complex interplay with O2(*-), H2O2, NO*, and other more reactive compounds derived from these species, the potential of various iron therapies to induce oxidative and nitrosative stress is discussed and possible underlying mechanisms are proposed. Understanding the mechanisms, by which various iron formulations may induce oxidative and nitrosative stress, will help us develop better tolerated and more efficient therapies for various dysfunctions of iron metabolism.

Abstract
Although chemical mechanisms for the formation of nitrosothiol from •NO have been studied extensively "in the test tube", surprisingly little is known regarding the mechanism(s) of how nitrosothiols are formed in vivo. This lack of understanding has hampered more general acceptance of the concept of cysteine nitrosothiol formation as a generally applicable, regulated, and functionally significant protein posttranslational modification (as opposed to multiple other •NO-induced thiol modifications). Here we provide a brief overview/summary of the cellular formation of nitrosothiols from •NO via two possible mechanisms involving oxygen or transition metals.

Abstract
Nymphaea candida is traditional Uighur medicine that is commonly used to treat head pains, cough, hepatitis and hypertension in Xinjiang of China. In this article, the extract of N. candida was measured for antioxidant activity, using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals scavenging assay and reducing power determination, and compared with those of the positive controls of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and gallic acid (GA). The active extract was further purified by liquid-liquid partition to afford four fractions, of which the ethyl acetate-soluble (EA) fraction (NCE) exhibited the strongest antioxidant capacity with IC50 value of 12.6 μg/mL for DPPH. Thirteen phenolic compounds were isolated from this fraction, and they all showed significant antioxidant activities in DPPH model system. Furthermore, NCE showed potent antioxidant capacity with IC50 value of 59.32 μg/mL, 24.48 μg/mL and 86.85 μg/mL, for O2−, ·OH and H2O2 radicals, respectively. Moreover, NCE on BCG plus LPS-induced immunological liver injury was evaluated using primary cultured rat hepatocytes. NCE produced significant hepatoprotective effects as evidenced by decreased supernatant enzyme activities (AST—aspartate transaminase, P < .01; ALT—alanine transferase, P < .01) and nitric oxide (NO, P < .01) production. These results revealed the in vitro antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities of NCE against immunological liver injury. Further investigations are necessary to verify these activities in vivo.

Abstract
The following describes a novel screening method for "new chemical entities" (NCEs), suitable for ADMET studies, that measures ability to form prooxidant radicals on metabolism and their ability to induce oxidative stress in intact cells. The accelerated molecular cytotoxic mechanism screening (ACMS) techniques used with isolated rat hepatocytes showed that cytotoxicity is usually initiated as a result of macromolecular covalent binding or macromolecular oxidative stress. While P450 is likely responsible for drug metabolic activation in the liver, intestine, lung, and in other nonhepatic tissues, where P450 levels are low, peroxidases including prostaglandin synthetase peroxidase can catalyze xenobiotic one-electron oxidation to form prooxidant free radicals that may cause toxicity or carcinogenesis. Inflammation markedly activates H2O2, generating NADPH oxidase and peroxidase of certain immune cells when they infiltrate tissues including the liver. Myeloperoxidase and NADPH oxidase in the Kupffer cells (resident macrophages of the liver) also become activated during inflammation. The addition of noncytotoxic concentrations of peroxidase/H2O2 to the hepatocyte incubate markedly increased drug cytotoxicity and prooxidant radical formation as shown by glutathione or lipid oxidation. Many drugs that have hepato- or gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity problems or were withdrawn from the market for safety problems, e.g., troglitazone, tolcapone, mefenamic acid, diclofenac, and phenylbutazone, were markedly more toxic and prooxidant in this inflammation model system, whereas other drugs, e.g., entacapone, were not toxic in this inflammation model. Some of the idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity responsible for recent drug withdrawals may therefore result from commonplace sporadic inflammatory episodes during drug therapy.

Abstract
One of the most important biological reactions of nitric oxide (nitrogen monoxide, *NO) is its reaction with transition metals, of which iron is the major target. This is confirmed by the ubiquitous formation of EPR-detectable g=2.04 signals in cells, tissues, and animals upon exposure to both exogenous and endogenous *NO. The source of the iron for these dinitrosyliron complexes (DNIC), and its relationship to cellular iron homeostasis, is not clear. Evidence has shown that the chelatable iron pool (CIP) may be at least partially responsible for this iron, but quantitation and kinetic characterization have not been reported. In the murine cell line RAW 264.7, *NO reacts with the CIP similarly to the strong chelator salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH) in rapidly releasing iron from the iron-calcein complex. SIH pretreatment prevents DNIC formation from *NO, and SIH added during the *NO treatment "freezes" DNIC levels, showing that the complexes are formed from the CIP, and they are stable (resistant to SIH). DNIC formation requires free *NO, because addition of oxyhemoglobin prevents formation from either *NO donor or S-nitrosocysteine, the latter treatment resulting in 100-fold higher intracellular nitrosothiol levels. EPR measurement of the CIP using desferroxamine shows quantitative conversion of CIP into DNIC by *NO. In conclusion, the CIP is rapidly and quantitatively converted to paramagnetic large molecular mass DNIC from exposure to free *NO but not from cellular nitrosothiol. These results have important implications for the antioxidative actions of *NO and its effects on cellular iron homeostasis.

Abstract
Prooxidant and antioxidant properties of nitric oxide (NO) during oxidative stress are mostly dependent on its interaction with reactive oxygen species, Fe ions, and hemoproteins. One form of NO storage and transportation in cells and tissues is dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC), which can bind with both low-molecular-weight thiols and proteins, including hemoglobin. It was shown that dinitrosyl iron complexes bound with hemoglobin (Hb-DNIC) were formed in rabbit erythrocytes after bringing low-molecular-weight DNIC with thiosulfate into blood. It was ascertained that Hb-DNIC intercepted free radicals reacting with hemoglobin SH-groups and prevented oxidative modification of this protein caused by hydrogen peroxide. Destruction of Hb-DNIC can take place in the presence of both hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Hb-DNIC can also be destroyed at the enzymatic generation of superoxide-anion radical in the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. If aeration in this system was absent, formation of the nitrosyl R-form of hemoglobin could be seen during the process of Hb-DNIC destruction. Study of Hb-DNIC interaction with reactive oxygen metabolites is important for understanding NO and Hb roles in pathological processes that could result from oxidative stress.

Abstract
Iron is a trace metal essential for normal brain development but toxic in excess as it is capable of generating highly reactive radicals that damage cells and tissue. Iron is stringently regulated by the iron regulatory proteins, IRP1 and IRP2, which regulate proteins involved in iron homeostasis at the posttranscriptional level. In this study, 12 distinct regions were microdissected from the mouse brain and regional changes in the levels of loosely bound and non-heme iron that occur with development were measured. We examined 6, 12, and 24 week old wildtype C57BL/6 mice and mice with a targeted deletion of iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP2-/-) that have been reported to develop neurodegenerative symptoms in adulthood. In wildtype mice, levels of loosely bound iron decreased while non-heme iron increased with development. In contrast, an increase in loosely bound and a more pronounced increase in non-heme iron was seen in IRP2-/- mice between 6 and 12 weeks of age, stemming from lower levels at 6 weeks (the youngest age examined) compared to wildtype. These results have implications for understanding the increase in regional brain iron that is associated with normal aging and is postulated to be exacerbated in neurodegenerative disorders.

Neuroscience 2007; 146:1758-71.

Abstract
Antioxidative properties of alpha-lipoic acid (LA) are widely investigated in different in vivo and in vitro models. The aim of this study was to examine whether LA attenuates oxidative stress induced in rats by reserpine, a model substance frequently used to produce Parkinsonism in animals. Male Wistar rats were treated with reserpine (5 mg/kg) and LA (50 mg/kg) separately or in combination. The levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), nitric oxide (NO) and S-nitrosothiols as well as activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and L-gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) were determined in the striatum and prefrontal cortex homogenates. In the striatum and prefrontal cortex a single dose of reserpine significantly enhanced levels of GSSG and NO but not that of S-nitrosothiols when compared with control. In the striatum, LA administered jointly with reserpine markedly increased the concentration of GSH and decreased GSSG level. In the prefrontal cortex, such treatment produced only an increasing tendency in GSH level but caused no changes in GSSG content. In both structures LA injected jointly with reserpine markedly decreased NO concentrations but did not cause significant changes in S-nitrosothiol levels when compared with control. Enzymatic activities of GPx and GST were intensified by LA in the striatum. In the prefrontal cortex, GPx activity was not altered, while that of GST was decreased. Gamma-GT activity was attenuated by reserpine in the striatum while LA reversed this effect. Such changes were not observed in the prefrontal cortex. The mode of LA action in the striatum during the reserpine-evoked oxidative stress strongly suggests that this compound may be of therapeutic value in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in acute renal failure (ARF) is debatable. In the present study, we investigated the effect of acute administration of NO donor, Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), L-Arginine (L-Arg) and NO synthase inhibitor, N(omega)-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) in Fe-NTA induced renal toxicity. Rats were pretreated with SNP (2.5 mg/kg i.p), L-Arg (125 mg/kg, i.p.) and L-NAME (10 mg/kg, i.p.) prior to administration of Fe-NTA (8 mg iron/kg body weight, i.p.) to determine the urea and creatinine levels along with biochemical analysis of oxidative stress. Fe-NTA administration markedly increased the BUN and serum creatinine level which was coupled with a marked lipid peroxidation, decreased levels of reduced glutathione and total nitric oxide levels of rat kidneys coupled with significant morphological alterations. It also resulted in the significant increase in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in serum. Concomitant treatment with SNP and L-Arg significantly reduced the serum creatinine and BUN levels, reduced lipid peroxidation in a significant manner, restored levels of reduced glutathione, increased total nitric oxide levels and restored the normal morphology. Pretreatment with SNP and L-Arg attenuated the levels of TNF-alpha in serum in a significant manner. Prior administration of L-NAME reversed the protective effects produced by SNP and L-Arg. Present findings strongly suggest that nitric oxide plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of iron-induced renal failure and administration of NO donors can be valuable in the treatment of ARF.

Abstract
Parameters of the EPR signals of monomeric dinitrosyl-iron complexes with 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (DNIC-MT), obtained by treating MT+ferrous iron in DMSO solution with gaseous NO, have been compared with those of the crystalline monomeric DNIC-MT with tetrahedral structure. Dissolved DNIC-MT were characterized by the isotropic EPR signal centered at g=2.03 with half-width of 0.7 mT and quintet hyperfine structure when recorded at ambient temperature or the anisotropic EPR signal with g( perpendicular)=2.045, g( parallel)=2.014 from frozen solution at 77 kappa, Cyrillic. DNIC-MT in crystalline state showed the structure-less symmetrical singlet EPR signal centered at g=2.03 and half-width of 1.7 mT at both room and liquid nitrogen temperature. The Lorentz shape of this signal indicates the strong exchange interaction between these complexes in the DNIC-MT crystal. Being dissolved in DMSO the crystalline sample of DNIC-MT demonstrated the EPR signal typical for DNIC-MT, obtained by treating MT+ferrous iron in DMSO solution with gaseous NO. Low spin (S=1/2) d(9) electron configuration of DNIC-MT with tetrahedral structure (formula [(MT-S(.))(2)Fe(-1)(NO(+))(2)](+)) was suggested to be responsible for the signal of DNIC-MT in crystalline state. Dissolving of the crystals of DNIC-MT may result in the change of their spatial and electronic structure, namely, tetrahedral structure of the complexes characterized by low spin d(9) electronic configuration transforms into a plane-square structure with d(7) electronic configuration and low spin S=1/2 state (formula [(MT- S(-))(2)Fe(+)(NO(+))(2)](+)). The latter was suggested to be characteristic of other DNICs with various thiol-containing ligands in the solutions. The proposed mechanism of these DNICs formation from ferrous iron, thiol and NO shows that the process could be accompanied by the ionization of NO molecules to NO(+) and NO(-) ions in the complexes. Detailed analysis of the shape of the EPR signals of these complexes provided additional information about the exchange interaction typical for DNIC-MT in crystals.

Abstract
Chronic iron overload (CIO) enhances nitric oxide (*NO) production in the liver, which may represent a hepatoprotective mechanism against CIO toxicity. In order to test this hypothesis, the influence of CIO (diet enriched with 3% (wt/wt) carbonyl-iron for 8 weeks) in the absence or presence of the (*)NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on NOS activity, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and NF-kappaB activation was studied, in relation to ferritin expression and liver morphology. CIO increased liver NOS activity, ERK1/2 phosphorylation, NF-kappaB DNA binding, and ferritin expression, with normal liver histology. These changes were suppressed by combined CIO and L-NAME treatment, with the resulting inflammatory response of the liver. It is concluded that (*)NO response induced by CIO represents a molecular mechanism affording protection against iron toxicity, which is related to both the activation of the ERK/NF-kappaB pathway involving inducible NOS expression and ferritin upregulation, changes that may be interrelated.

Abstract
The increased production of NO during the early stages of apoptosis indicates its potential involvement in the regulation of programmed cell death through yet to be identified mechanisms. Recently, an important role for catalytically competent peroxidase form of pentacoordinate cytochrome c (cyt c) in a complex with a mitochondria-specific phospholipid, cardiolipin (CL), has been demonstrated during execution of the apoptotic program. Because the cyt c.CL complex acts as CL oxygenase and selectively oxidizes CL in apoptotic cells in a reaction dependent on the generation of protein-derived (tyrosyl) radicals, we hypothesized that binding and nitrosylation of cyt c regulates CL oxidation. Here we demonstrate by low temperature electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy that CL facilitated interactions of ferro- and ferri-states of cyt c with NO and NO(-), respectively, to yield a mixture of penta- and hexa-coordinate nitrosylated cyt c. In the nitrosylated cyt c.CL complex, NO chemically reacted with H(2)O(2)-activated peroxidase intermediates resulting in their reduction. A dose-dependent quenching of H(2)O(2)-induced protein-derived radicals by NO donors was shown using direct electron paramagnetic resonance measurements as well as immuno-spin trapping with antibodies against protein 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide-nitrone adducts. In the presence of NO donors, H(2)O(2)-induced oligomeric forms of cyt c positively stained for 3-nitrotyrosine confirming the reactivity of NO toward tyrosyl radicals of cyt c. Interaction of NO with the cyt c.CL complex inhibited its peroxidase activity with three different substrates: CL, etoposide, and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine. Given the importance of CL oxidation in apoptosis, mass spectrometry analysis was utilized to assess the effects of NO on oxidation of 1,1'2,2'-tertalinoleoyl cardiolipin. NO effectively inhibited 1,1'2,2'-tertalinoleoyl cardiolipin oxidation catalyzed by the peroxidase activity of cyt c. Thus, NO can act as a regulator of peroxidase activity of cyt c.CL complexes.

Abstract
The amount of iron within the cell is carefully regulated in order to provide an adequate level of the micronutrient while preventing its accumulation to toxic levels. Iron excess is believed to generate oxidative stress, understood as an increase in the steady state concentration of oxygen radical intermediates. The main aspects of cellular metabolism of iron, with special emphasis on the role of iron with respect to oxidative damage to lipid membranes, are briefly reviewed here. Both in vitro and in vivo models are examined. Finally, a discussion of iron overload and its impact on human health is included. Overall, further studies are required to assess more effective means to limit iron-dependent damage, by minimizing the formation and release of free radicals in tissues when the cellular iron steady state concentration is increased either as a consequence of disease or by therapeutic iron supplementation.

Abstract
The toxicity of iron is believed to originate from the Fenton reaction which produces the hydroxyl radical and/or oxoiron2+. The effect of nitrogen monoxide on the kinetics of the reaction of iron(II) bound to citrate, ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetate (edda), ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (edta), (N-hydroxyethyl)amine-N,N',N'-triacetate (hedta), and nitrilotriacetate (nta) with hydrogen peroxide was studied by stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Nitrogen monoxide inhibits the Fenton reaction to a large extent. For instance, hydrogen peroxide oxidizes iron(II) citrate with a rate constant of 5.8x10(3) M(-1) s(-1), but in the presence of nitrogen monoxide, the rate constant is 2.9x10(2) M(-1) s(-1) . Similar to hydrogen peroxide, the reaction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide with iron(II) complexes is also efficiently inhibited by nitrogen monoxide. Generally, nitrogen monoxide binds rapidly to a coordination site of iron(II) occupied by water. The rate of oxidation is influenced by the rate of dissociation of the nitrogen monoxide from iron(II).

Abstract
Iron is an essential micronutrient promoting oxidative stress in the liver of overloaded animals and human, which may trigger the expression of redox-sensitive genes. We have tested the hypothesis that chronic iron overload (CIO) enhances inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in rat liver by extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and NF-kappaB activation. CIO (diet enriched with 3%(wt/wt) carbonyl-iron for 12 weeks) increased liver protein carbonylation and decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) content and the GSH/GSSG ratio after 6 weeks, parameters that are normalized after 8-12 weeks of treatment. These changes are paralleled by higher phosphorylated-ERK1/2 to non-phosphorylated-ERK1/2 ratios at 6 and 8 weeks, increased NF-kappaB DNA binding to the iNOS gene promoter at 8-12 weeks, and higher iNOS mRNA expression and activity at 8 and 12 weeks. It is concluded that CIO triggers liver oxidative stress at early times, with upregulation of iNOS expression involving the ERK/NF-kappaB pathway at later times, a finding that may represent a hepatoprotective mechanism against CIO toxicity in addition to the recovery of GSH homeostasis.

Abstract
Depletion of glutathione (GSH), nitrosative stress and chronic intoxication with some neurotoxins have been postulated to play a major role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. This study aimed to examine the effects of acute and chronic treatments with 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ), an endo-/exogenous substance suspected of producing Parkinsonism in human, on the levels of nitric oxide (NO), S-nitrosothiols and glutathione (GSH) in the whole rat brain and in its dopaminergic structures. TIQ administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg i.p. significantly increased the tissue concentrations of NO and GSH in the substantia nigra (SN), striatum (STR) and cortex (CTX) of rats receiving this compound both acutely and chronically. Moreover, it decreased the level of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and enhanced GSH:GSSG ratio affecting in this way the redox state of brain cells. TIQ also increased the level of S-nitrosothiols when measured in the whole rat brain and CTX, although it markedly decreased their level in the STR after both treatments. Inhibition of the constitutive NO synthase by l-NAME in the presence of TIQ caused decreases in GSH and S-nitrosothiol levels in the brain. The latter effect shows that the TIQ-mediated increases in GSH and S-nitrosothiol concentrations were dependent on the enhanced NO level. The above-described results suggest that TIQ can act as a modulator of GSH, NO and S-nitrosothiol levels but not as a parkinsonism-inducing agent in the rat brain.

Rocchitta G, Migheli R, Mura MP, Grella G, Esposito G, Marchetti B, Miele E, Desole MS, Miele M, Serra PA. Signaling pathways in the nitric oxide and iron-induced dopamine release in the striatum of freely moving rats: Role of extracellular Ca2+ and L-type Ca2+ channels. Brain Res 2005; 1047:18-29. [PMID: 15890318 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2005.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2005] [Revised: 03/25/2005] [Accepted: 04/01/2005] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
We showed previously that exogenous iron potentiated nitric oxide (NO) donor-induced release of striatal dopamine (DA) in freely moving rats, using microdialysis. In this study, the increase in dialysate DA induced by intrastriatal infusion of the NO-donor 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1, 1.0 mM for 180 min) was scarcely affected by Ca2+ omission. N-methyl-d-glucamine dithiocarbamate (MGD) is a thiol compound whose NO trapping activity is potentiated by iron(II). Intrastriatal co-infusion of MGD either alone or associated with iron(II), however, potentiated SIN-1-induced increases in dialysate DA. In contrast, co-infusion of the NO trapper 4-(carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazole-1-oxyl 3-oxide (carboxy-PTIO) significantly attenuated the increase in dialysate DA induced by SIN-1 (5.0 mM for 180 min). SIN-1+MGD+iron(II)-induced increases in dialysate DA were inhibited by Ca2+ omission or co-infusion of either deferoxamine or the L-type (Ca(v) 1.1-1.3) Ca2+ channel inhibitor nifedipine; in contrast, the increase was scarcely affected by co-infusion of the N-type (Ca(v) 2.2) Ca2+ channel inhibitor omega-conotoxin GVIA. These results demonstrate that exogenous NO-induced release of striatal DA is independent on extracellular Ca2+; however, in presence of the NO trapper MGD, NO may preferentially react with either endogenous or exogenous iron to form a complex which releases striatal DA with an extracellular Ca2+-dependent and nifedipine-sensitive mechanism.

Abstract
The conversion of NO into its congeners, nitrosonium (NO+) and nitroxyl (HNO/NO-) species, has important consequences in NO metabolism. Dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) combined with thiol ligands was shown to catalyze the conversion of NO into NO+, resulting in the synthesis of S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) both in vitro and in vivo. The formation mechanism of DNIC was proposed to involve the intermediate release of nitroxyl. Since the detection of hydroxylamine (as the product of a rapid reaction of HNO/NO- with thiols) is taken as the evidence for nitroxyl generation, we examined the formation of hydroxylamine, RSNO, and nitrite (the product of a rapid reaction of NO+ with water) in neutral solutions containing iron ions and thiols exposed to NO under anaerobic conditions. Hydroxylamine was detected in NO treated solutions of iron ions in the presence of cysteine, but not glutathione (GSH). The addition of urate, a major "free" iron-binding agent in humans, to solutions of GSH and iron ions, and the subsequent treatment of these solutions with NO increased the synthesis of GSNO and resulted in the formation of hydroxylamine. This caused a loss of urate and yielded a novel nitrosative/nitration product. GSH attenuated the urate decomposition to such a degree that it could be reflected as the function of GSH:urate. Results described here contribute to the understanding of the role of iron ions in catalyzing the conversion of NO into HNO/NO- and point to the role of uric acid not previously described.

Abstract
We have examined the action of nitric oxide (NO) on the ability of Fenton's reagent (ferrous iron and hydrogen peroxide), to oxidize a number of organic optical probes. We found that NO is able to arrest the oxidation of organic compounds at concentrations of NO found in brain, in vivo. We present evidence that Fenton's reagent proceeds via a ferryl intermediate ([Fe[double bond]O]2+), before the generation of hydroxyl radical *OH. NO reacts rapidly with this ferryl, blocking the production of *OH. We propose that NO has an important role in protecting biological tissues, and the brain in particular, from Fenton chemistry.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of iron on the production of nitric oxide (NO), inducible NO synthase (iNOS), and plasma cytokines induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vivo. Male Wistar rats were preloaded with a single intravenous injection of saccharated colloidal iron (Fesin, 70 mg iron/kg body weight) or normal saline as a control, and then given an intraperitoneal injection of LPS (5.0 mg/kg body weight). Rats, preloaded with iron, had evidence of both iron deposition and strong iNOS induction in liver Kupffer cells upon injection of LPS; phagocytic cells in the spleen and lung had similar findings. LPS-induced NO production in iron-preloaded rats was significantly higher than control rats as accessed by NO-hemoglobin levels measured by ESR (electron spin resonance) and NOx (nitrate plus nitrite) levels. Western blot analysis showed that iron preloading significantly enhanced LPS-induced iNOS induction in the liver, but not in the spleen or lung. LPS-induced plasma levels of IL-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha were also significantly higher in iron-preloaded rats as shown by ELISA, but IFN-gamma levels were unchanged. We conclude that colloidal-iron phagocytosed by liver Kupffer cells enhanced LPS-induced NO production in vivo, iNOS induction in the liver, and release of IL-6, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha.

Abstract
Cytokines represent a multi-diverse family of polypeptide regulators; they are relatively low molecular weight (< 30 kDa), pharmacologically active proteins that are secreted by one cell for the purpose of altering either its own functions (autocrine effect) or those of adjacent cells (paracrine effect). Cytokines are small, nonenzymatic glycoproteins whose actions are both diverse and overlapping (specificity/redundancy) and may affect diverse and overlapping target cell populations. In many instances, individual cytokines have multiple biological activities. Different cytokines can also have the same activity, which provides for functional redundancy (network) within the inflammatory and immune systems. As biological cofactors that are released by specific cells, cytokines have specific effects on cell-cell interaction, communication, and behavior of other cells. As a result, it is infrequent that loss or neutralization of one cytokine will markedly interfere with either of these systems. The biological effect of one cytokine is often modified or augmented by another. Because an interdigitating, redundant network of cytokines is involved in the production of most biological effects, both under physiologic and pathologic conditions, it usually requires more than a single defect in the network to alter drastically the outcome of the process. This fact, therefore, may have crucial significance in the development of therapeutic strategies for biopharmacologic intervention in cytokine-mediated inflammatory processes and infections.

Abstract
We have previously reported a larger and more prolonged increase of slow wave activity (SWA) in NREM sleep after sleep deprivation (SD) in prion protein deficient mice (PrP) compared to wild-type mice. Regional differences in the SWA increase were investigated by comparing the effect of 6 h SD on a frontal and occipital derivation in PrP deficient mice and wild-type mice. The larger increase of SWA after SD in PrP deficient mice was restricted to the occipital derivation. The difference appeared after the waking-NREM sleep transitions, making it unlikely that PrP is involved in the mechanisms enabling the transition to sleep. Our findings may reflect differences between the genotypes in the need for recovery in this particular brain region.
