Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a major site of metabolic activity and is the most abundant tissue in the human body. Age-related muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and weakness, characterized by progressive loss of lean muscle mass and function, is a major contributor to morbidity and has a profound effect on the quality of life of older people. With a continuously growing older population (estimated 2 billion of people aged >60 by 2050), demand for medical and social care due to functional deficits, associated with neuromuscular ageing, will inevitably increase. Despite the importance of this 'epidemic' problem, the primary biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying age-related deficits in neuromuscular integrity and function have not been fully determined. Skeletal muscle generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) from a variety of subcellular sources, and age-associated oxidative damage has been suggested to be a major factor contributing to the initiation and progression of muscle atrophy inherent with ageing. RONS can modulate a variety of intracellular signal transduction processes, and disruption of these events over time due to altered redox control has been proposed as an underlying mechanism of ageing. The role of oxidants in ageing has been extensively examined in different model organisms that have undergone genetic manipulations with inconsistent findings. Transgenic and knockout rodent studies have provided insight into the function of RONS regulatory systems in neuromuscular ageing. This review summarizes almost 30 years of research in the field of redox homeostasis and muscle ageing, providing a detailed discussion of the experimental approaches that have been undertaken in murine models to examine the role of redox regulation in age-related muscle atrophy and weakness.

Abstract
Reversible and irreversible post-translational modifications (PTMs) induced by endogenously generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in regulatory enzymes and proteins plays an essential role in cellular signaling. Almost all cellular processes including metabolism, transcription, translation and degradation have been identified as containing redox regulated proteins. Specific redox modifications of key amino acids generated by ROS offers a dynamic and versatile means to rapidly alter the activity or functional structure of proteins in response to biochemical, environmental, genetic and pathological perturbations. How the proteome responds to these stimuli is of critical importance in oxidant physiology, as it can regulate the cell stress response by reversible and irreversible PTMs, affecting protein activity and protein-protein interactions. Due to the highly labile nature of many ROS species, applying redox proteomics can provide a signature footprint of the ROS species generated. Ideally redox proteomic approaches would allow; (1) the identification of the specific PTM, (2) identification of the amino acid residue that is modified and (3) the percentage of the protein containing the PTM. New developments in MS offer the opportunity of a more sensitive targeted proteomic approach and retrospective data analysis. Subsequent bioinformatics analysis can provide an insight into the biochemical and physiological pathways or cell signaling cascades that are affected by ROS generation. This mini-review will detail current redox proteomic approaches to identify and quantify ROS induced PTMs and the subsequent effects on cellular signaling.

Abstract
Objectives: To prospectively study the profile of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in patients presenting to a phlebology practice. Methods: The study uses prospective questionnaire and clinical observation study. In all, 174 consecutive patients and 174 matched controls were evaluated in detail. The diagnosis of restless legs syndrome (RLS) was established by the International RLS study group (IRLSSG) criteria. Detailed clinical, systemic and Duplex ultrasound evaluations were done to establish the presence of chronic venous disorders (CVD) (reflux > 0.5s on augmentation manoeuvers and revised clinical, aetiological, anatomical and pathological [CEAP] criteria). Results: Of the 174 consecutive subjects studied (22M: 152F), 63 (36%) had evidence of RLS compared with only 34 of 174 of the controls (19%, P <0.05). Sixty-two (98%) of these RLS-positive study subjects were subsequently diagnosed with CVD. In comparison, 31 (91%) of the RLS-positive control subjects ( n = 34) were found to have CVD. This prevalence of CVD was comparable with RLS-positive study subjects, but was significantly higher than the prevalence in CVD in RLS-negative controls ( P <0.01). Only three (9%) of the controls had RLS without CVD. RLS-positive subjects were typically women above the age of 40 years ( P <0.01 vs. men, P <0.01 vs. below 40 years). A significant difference in clinical presentation in the study subjects was the high prevalence of leg cramps in the RLS-positive subjects ( P <0.01). None of the patients with RLS in this series gave history of anaemia, chronic renal failure or an established psychiatric or neurological disease as found pathognomic for RLS by others. Conclusions: RLS appears to be a common overlapping clinical syndrome in patients with CVD. Prospective blinded therapeutic trials are planned to study the influence of definitive treatments for CVD on sequential RLS scores.

Abstract
Objectives: Tostudy the clinical spectrum of recurrent varices after surgery (REVAS) and the efficacy of sclerotherapy under the comprehensive objective mapping, precise image-guided injection, antireflux positioning and sequential sclerotherapy (COMPASS) technique in their management. Methods: Design: prospective open study with 1.5-5.7-year follow up. Patients: 253 legs of 168 consecutive patients who had received previous surgery for primary varicosity. Main outcome measures: obliteration, recanalization, residual reflux, neovascularization, venous dysfunction score and cumulative obliteration. Results: REVAS presents as a symptomatic chronic venous disease of women in their fifties, a decade later than primary varicosities are reported. Almost 75% of REVAS occurred at the groin, mostly with features of chronic venous disease. The COMPASS technique achieved sustained obliteration in 97% of the groin varices and in 100% of the thigh and isolated refluxes around the popliteal fossa. The cumulative obliteration rate was sustained at >90% and obliteration of perforator reflux was sustained. There was a significant decrease in the venous dysfunction score. In the mean 3.1±1.7 years of follow up, only 3% possible neovascularization was seen. There were no serious adverse experiences reported. Conclusions: REVAS is a symptomatic chronic venous disease requiring skilled medical attention. The COMPASS technique appears to be more efficacious than the presently available surgical approaches to its long-term management.

Abstract
Objective: To study the clinical profile of Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) and the management of venous malformations (VMs) with ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy using the compass technique. Methods: In this open prospective series, 11 consecutive patients with KTS seeking therapy at a phlebology group practice were included. Seven (64%) of them were post-surgical recurrences. Results: Pain was the commonest presenting complaint (100%), accompanied with VMs/ varicose veins in all except one (91%). Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) was seen in seven (64%). Soft tissue and bone deformity was present in all (100%). Limb lengthening was frequent and detected in eight (73%), thickening in six (54%); unusually, one patient (9%) presented with severe thinning and shortening of the leg. Venous malformation was the primary vascular problem in nine patients (82%), with capillary malformation (CM)/port wine stain in seven (64%) and isolated lymphatic malformation (LM) in two (18%). The lateral embryonic/Klippel–Trenaunay (KT) vein was detected in 10 patients (91%). Deep vein deformity was not detected in any of them. All the deformities were of the lower limb (100%), while two (18%) had deformities of the thorax and one (9%) had gastrointestinal (GI) malformation. None of the patients gave family history of KTS, while five (45%) had history of varicosities in the family. Eight patients (73%) completed the therapeutic plan with a mean follow-up of 5±3.9 years. An excellent to good type result could be documented in six of the eight cases (75%). These patients had an event-free, good quality of life. Follow-up duplex studies revealed the evolving refluxing tracts requiring sequential therapies. Conclusions: The results in this series demonstrate the utility of foam sclerotherapy using the compass technique in the management of KTS. Chronicity of the VMs in KTS necessitates strict clinical monitoring and sequential therapies.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the COMPASS technique in the management of greater saphenous varicosities with saphenofemoral incompetence. Design: Prospective open trial (2-6 year follow-up). Patients: One hundred and eighty-six limbs with refluxing greater saphenous vein (5.4–25.4 mm) and incompetent saphenofemoral junction (6.1–31.3 mm). Main outcome measure: Obliteration, recanalisation, residual veins, neovascularisation, venous dysfunction score. Results: Greater saphenous varicosity is commonly a disease of individuals in their forties, with morbid clinical presentations. Three stages of the COMPASS technique achieved 100% and 98% obliteration of the saphenofemoral junction and greater saphenous vein respectively. There was significant improvement in the venous dysfunction score. Residual refluxing veins were easily managed by sequential treatment. The results are sustained in the 3.4 SD 1.7 year follow up. There was no serious adverse experience reported. Conclusion: The COMPASS technique is safe and highly efficacious in the management of extensive large vein varicose disease.

Abstract
Ageing is associated with a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, quality and function—sarcopenia, associated with reduced independence and quality of life in older generations. A better understanding of the mechanisms, both genetic and epigenetic, underlying this process would help develop therapeutic interventions to prevent, slow down or reverse muscle wasting associated with ageing. Currently, exercise is the only known effective intervention to delay the progression of sarcopenia. The cellular responses that occur in muscle fibres following exercise provide valuable clues to the molecular mechanisms regulating muscle homoeostasis and potentially the progression of sarcopenia. Redox signalling, as a result of endogenous generation of ROS/RNS in response to muscle contractions, has been identified as a crucial regulator for the adaptive responses to exercise, highlighting the redox environment as a potentially core therapeutic approach to maintain muscle homoeostasis during ageing. Further novel and attractive candidates include the manipulation of microRNA expression. MicroRNAs are potent gene regulators involved in the control of healthy and disease-associated biological processes and their therapeutic potential has been researched in the context of various disorders, including ageing-associated muscle wasting. Finally, we discuss the impact of the circadian clock on the regulation of gene expression in skeletal muscle and whether disruption of the peripheral muscle clock affects sarcopenia and altered responses to exercise. Interventions that include modifying altered redox signalling with age and incorporating genetic mechanisms such as circadian- and microRNA-based gene regulation, may offer potential effective treatments against age-associated sarcopenia.

Abstract
Ageing is associated with loss of skeletal muscle fibres, atrophy of the remaining fibres and weakness. These changes in muscle are accompanied by disruption of motor neurons and neuromuscular junctions although the direct relationship between the nerve and muscle degeneration is not understood. Oxidative changes have been implicated in the mechanisms leading to age-related loss of muscle mass and in degeneration of the central nervous system, but little is known about age-related changes in oxidation in specific peripheral nerves that supply muscles that are affected by ageing. We have therefore examined the sciatic nerve of old mice at an age when loss of tibialis anterior muscle mass and function is apparent. Sciatic nerve from old mice did not show a gross increase in oxidative damage, but electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies indicated an increase in the activity of superoxide and/or peroxynitrite in the nerves of old mice at rest that was further exacerbated by electrical stimulation of the nerve to activate muscle contractions. Proteomic analyses indicated that specific redox-sensitive proteins are increased in content in the nerves of old mice that may reflect an adaptation to regulate the increased superoxide/peroxynitrite and maintain redox homoeostasis. Analysis of redox active cysteines showed some increase in reversible oxidation in specific proteins in nerves of old mice, but this was not universally seen across all redox-active cysteines. Detailed analysis of the redox-active cysteine in one protein in the nerve of old mice that is key to redox signalling (Peroxiredoxin 6, Cys 47) showed a minor increase in reversible oxidation that would be compatible with a change in its redox signalling function. In conclusion, the data presented indicate that sciatic nerve from old mice does not show a gross increase in oxidative damage similar to that seen in the TA and other muscles that it innervates. Our results indicate an adaptation to increased oxidation with minor changes in the oxidation of key cysteines that may contribute to defective redox signalling in the nerve.

Abstract
AIMS A three-step catalytic cycle is common to all peroxiredoxins (Prxs), despite structural and kinetic differences. The second step in 1-Cys type Prxs is a matter of debate since they lack an additional cysteine to play the resolving role, as happens with the 2-Cys Prxs. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of glutathione (GSH) in the thioredoxin-dependent peroxidase activity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial Prx1p, a 1-Cys type Prx. RESULTS The peroxidatic Cys91 residue of two Prx1p peptides can be linked by a disulfide, which can be reduced by thioredoxin and by GSH (Km=6.1 μM). GSH forms a mixed disulfide with the peroxidatic cysteine spontaneously in vitro and in vivo. Mitochondrial Trx3p deglutathionylates Prx1p without formation of GSSG so that GSH is not consumed in the process. The structural unit of native Prx1p is a dimer whose subunits are not covalently linked, but a hexameric assembly of three disulfide-bound dimers can also be formed. INNOVATION GSH is presented as a protective cofactor of Prx1p, which is not consumed during the peroxidase reaction, but provides a robust mechanism as the resolving cysteine and efficiently prevents Prx1p overoxidation. GSH exerts these roles at concentrations well below those commonly considered necessary for its antioxidant and redox buffering functions. CONCLUSION A 1-Cys peroxide scavenging mechanism operates in yeast mitochondria involving an autonomous glutathione molecule and the thioredoxin system, which could have universal validity. Prx1p is fairly well protected from overoxidation, questioning its role in a floodgate mechanism for H2O2 signaling.

The data provides information in support of the research article, "Differential Cysteine Labeling and Global Label-Free Proteomics Reveals an Altered Metabolic State in Skeletal Muscle Aging", Journal of Proteome Research, 2014, 13 (11), 2008-21 [1]. Raw data is available from ProteomeXchange [2] with identifier PDX001054. The proteome of gastrocnemius muscle from adult and old mice was analyzed by global label-free proteomics and the relative quantification of specific reduced and reversibly oxidized Cysteine (Cys) residues was performed using Skyline [3]. Briefly, reduced Cysteine (Cys) containing peptides was alkylated using N-ethylmalemide (d0-NEM). Samples were desalted and reversibly oxidized Cys residues were reduced using tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) and the newly formed reduced Cys residues were labeled with heavy NEM( d5-NEM). Label-free analysis of the global proteome of adult (n=5) and old (n=4) gastrocnemius muscles was performed using Peaks7™ mass spectrometry data analysis software [4]. Relative quantification of Cys containing peptides that were identified as reduced (d(0) NEM labeled) and reversibly oxidized d(5)-NEM labeled was performed using the intensity of their precursor ions in Skyline. Results indicate that muscles from old mice show reduced redox flexibility particularly in proteins involved in the generation of precursor metabolites and energy metabolism, indicating a loss in the flexibility of the redox energy response.

Abstract
![]()
The
molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle aging and associated
sarcopenia have been linked to an altered oxidative status of redox-sensitive
proteins. Reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species (ROS/RNS)
generated by contracting skeletal muscle are necessary for optimal
protein function, signaling, and adaptation. To investigate the redox
proteome of aging gastrocnemius muscles from adult and old male mice,
we developed a label-free quantitative proteomic approach that includes
a differential cysteine labeling step. The approach allows simultaneous
identification of up- and downregulated proteins between samples in
addition to the identification and relative quantification of the
reversible oxidation state of susceptible redox cysteine residues.
Results from muscles of adult and old mice indicate significant changes
in the content of chaperone, glucose metabolism, and cytoskeletal
regulatory proteins, including Protein DJ-1, cAMP-dependent protein
kinase type II, 78 kDa glucose regulated protein, and a reduction
in the number of redox-responsive proteins identified in muscle of
old mice. Results demonstrate skeletal muscle aging causes a reduction
in redox-sensitive proteins involved in the generation of precursor
metabolites and energy metabolism, indicating a loss in the flexibility
of the redox energy response. Data is available via ProteomeXchange
with identifier PXD001054.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The kidney helps to maintain low blood pressure in the human body, and impaired kidney function is a common attribute of aging that is often associated with high blood pressure (hypertension). Kidney-related pathologies are important contributors (either directly or indirectly) to overall human mortality. In comparison with other organs, kidney has an unusually wide range of oxidative status, ranging from the well-perfused cortex to near-anoxic medulla. RECENT ADVANCES Oxidative stress has been implicated in many kidney pathologies, especially chronic kidney disease, and there is considerable research interest in oxidative stress biomarkers for earlier prediction of disease onset. Proteomics approaches have been taken to study of human kidney tissue, serum/plasma, urine, and animal models of hypertension. CRITICAL ISSUES Redox proteomics, in which oxidative post-translational modifications can be identified in protein targets of oxidative or nitrosative stress, has not been very extensively pursued in this set of pathologies. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Proteomics studies of kidney and related tissues have relevance to chronic kidney disease, and redox proteomics, in particular, represents an under-exploited toolkit for identification of novel biomarkers in this commonly occurring pathology.

Abstract
Very low nitrogen concentration is a critical limitation in the oligotrophic oceans inhabited by the cyanobacterium Prochlorococccus, one of the main primary producers on Earth. It is well known that nitrogen starvation affects redox homeostasis in cells. We have studied the effect of nitrogen starvation on the thiol redox proteome in the Prochlorococcus sp. SS120 strain, by using shotgun proteomic techniques to map the cysteine modified in each case and to quantify the ratio of reversibly oxidized/reduced species. We identified a number of proteins showing modified cysteines only under either control or N-starvation, including isocitrate dehydrogenase and ribulose phosphate 3-epimerase. We detected other key enzymes, such as glutamine synthetase, transporters and transaminases, showing that nitrogen-related pathways were deeply affected by nitrogen starvation. Reversibly oxidized cysteines were also detected in proteins of other important metabolic pathways, such as photosynthesis, phosphorus metabolism, ATP synthesis and nucleic acids metabolism. Our results demonstrate a wide effect of nitrogen limitation on the redox status of the Prochlorococcus proteome, suggesting that besides previously reported transcriptional changes, this cyanobacterium responds with post-translational redox changes to the lack of nitrogen in its environment.

Abstract
Cysteines are one of the most rarely used amino acids in proteins, therefore when conserved in proteins they usually play critical roles in structure, function, or regulation of the protein. These cysteines or thiols can be reversibly oxidised to sulfenic acid (-SOH), thiyl radicals (-S) or nitrosothiols (-SNO) or form both inter-and intra-disulfide bridges (PSSP). The protein thiol groups PSSPs, represent a larger active redox pool than glutathione and are likely to be directly involved in cellular defence against oxidative stress. Diagonal electrophoresis is a relatively simple technique to analyze the formation of protein disulfides by sequential non-reducing/reducing electrophoresis. Proteins that do not form disulfides, electrophorese identically in both dimensions and form a diagonal after the second dimension, proteins that contained intra-chain disulfides lie above this diagonal, while those that formed inter-disulfides fall below the diagonal. This technique therefore allows for the detection and identification of protein disulfides.

Abstract
Redoxins are involved in maintenance of thiol redox homeostasis, but their exact sites of action are only partly known. We have applied a combined redox proteomics and transcriptomics experimental strategy to discover specific functions of two interacting redoxins: dually localized glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2p) and mitochondrial peroxiredoxin 1 (Prx1p). We have identified 139 proteins showing differential postranslational thiol redox modifications when the cells do not express Grx2p, Prx1p, or both and have mapped the precise cysteines involved in each case. Some of these modifications constitute functional switches that affect metabolic and signaling pathways as the primary effect, leading to gene transcription remodeling as the secondary adaptive effect as demonstrated by a parallel high throughput gene expression analysis. The results suggest that in the absence of Grx2p, the metabolic flow toward nucleotide and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis is slowed down by redox modification of the key enzymes Rpe1p (D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase), Tkl1p (transketolase) and Aro4p (3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase). The glycolytic mainstream is then diverted toward carbohydrate storage by induction of trehalose and glycogen biosynthesis genes. Porphyrin biosynthesis may also be compromised by inactivation of the redox-sensitive cytosolic enzymes Hem12p (uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase) and Sam1p (S-adenosyl methionine synthetase) and a battery of respiratory genes sensitive to low heme levels are induced. Genes of the Aft1p-dependent iron regulon were induced specifically in the absence of Prx1p despite optimal mitochondrial Fe-S biogenesis, suggesting dysfunction of the mitochondria to the cytosol signaling pathway. Strikingly, requirement of Grx2p for these events places dithiolic Grx2 in the framework of iron metabolism.

Abstract
Kidneys are the mammalian organs with widest range of oxidative status ranging from the well-perfused cortex to the relatively anoxic medulla. This organ is of key interest from the perspective of hypertension, an important contributor to human mortality, and there has been growing use of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) as a model to explore oxidative stress in hypertensive kidney. Nitrosative stress is often associated with oxidative stress and, like oxidative stress, can lead to covalent modification of protein side-chains. It is especially relevant to kidney because of high levels of both nitrite/nitrate and nitric oxide synthase in medulla. Because of their relatively low abundance and their well-known role in signal transduction, nitration of tyrosines to 3-nitrotyrosines (3NT) is of particular interest in this regard. This modification has the potential to contribute to changes in regulation, in protein activity and may provide a means of specific targeting of key proteins. Mass spectrometry (MS) offers a promising route to detecting this modification. This review surveys protein nitration in kidney disease and highlights opportunities for MS detection of nitrated residues in the SHR.

Abstract
Ubiquitination and carbonylation of proteins were investigated in the gill and digestive gland of Ruditapes decussatus exposed to NP (nonylphenol) (100 μgL(-1)) using redox proteomics. After 21 d of exposure, clams were dissected and cytosolic proteins of both tissues separated by 2DE SDS-PAGE. Protein expression profiles were tissue-dependent and differently affected by NP exposure. Ubiquitination and carbonylation were also tissue-specific. NP exposure induced significantly more ubiquitinated proteins in gills than in digestive glands, compared to controls. Digestive gland showed a significant higher number of carbonylated proteins than gills after NP exposure. Protein ubiquitination and carbonylation are therefore independent processes. Results showed that NP exposure generated ROS in gill and digestive gland of R. decussatus that significantly altered the proteome. Results also highlighted the advantage of using redox proteomics in the assessment of protein ubiquitination and carbonylation, which may be markers of oxidative stress in R. decussatus.

Abstract
The mechanism for regeneration of the active-site "peroxidatic" cysteine in 1-Cys peroxiredoxins is a matter of debate. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Prx1 is a mitochondrial enzyme belonging to the 1-Cys Prx, whereas Grx2 is involved in antioxidant defense and localizes at the mitochondria, so we hypothesized that it could be a perfect candidate to resolve the sulfenate in Prx1 with GSH. In vitro experiments with purified Prx1p and Grx2p demonstrate that Grx2p, at concentrations <1 microM, coupled to GSH, is a very efficient thiolic intermediary for the reduction of the peroxidatic Cys in Prx1p. Prx1p forms oligomeric aggregates natively, but depolymerizes down to a dimeric state after treatment with GSH. The catalytic cycle involves glutathionylation of dimeric Prx1p and deglutathionylation by Grx2p. Dihydrolipoamide, a genuine mitochondrial dithiol, can efficiently substitute for GSH. The activity is highest at alkaline pH, consistent with the conditions of active respiring mitochondria, and the process is highly specific for 1-Cys Prx because Grx2p is totally inactive with human PRX1, a typical 2-Cys Prx, as opposed to the promiscuity of Trx. Our results suggest that although Trx is the reductant involved in the reduction of peroxides by 2-Cys-Prx, Grx might be the natural resolving partner of 1-Cys Prx through a monothiolic mechanism.

Abstract
We have previously shown that glutaredoxin 2 (Grx2) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae localizes at 3 different subcellular compartments, cytosol, mitochondrial matrix and outer membrane, as the result of different postranslational processing of one single gene. Having set the mechanism responsible for this remarkable phenomenon, we have now aimed at defining whether this diversity of subcellular localizations correlates with differences in structure and function of the Grx2 isoforms. We have determined the N-terminal sequence of the soluble mitochondrial matrix Grx2 by mass spectrometry and have determined the exact cleavage site by Mitochondrial Processing Peptidase (MPP). As a consequence of this cleavage, the mitochondrial matrix Grx2 isoform possesses a basic tetrapeptide extension at the N-terminus compared to the cytosolic form. A functional relationship to this structural difference is that mitochondrial Grx2 displays a markedly higher activity in the catalysis of GSSG reduction by the mitochondrial dithiol dihydrolipoamide. We have prepared Grx2 mutants affected on key residues inside the presequence to direct the protein to one single cellular compartment; either the cytosol, the mitochondrial membrane or the matrix and have analyzed their functional phenotypes. Strains expressing Grx2 only in the cytosol are equally sensitive to H(2)O(2) as strains lacking the gene, whereas those expressing Grx2 exclusively in the mitochondrial matrix are more resistant. Mutations on key basic residues drastically affect the cellular fate of the protein, showing that evolutionary diversification of Grx2 structural and functional properties are strictly dependent on the sequence of the targeting signal peptide.
