Abstract
AIM: To determine whether increased blood flow of the liver can cause oxidative stress and hepatocyte damage, and to elaborate methods suitable for measuring the antioxidant defence during hepatic surgery on rat model.
METHODS: In nembutal narcosis, the left lateral and the medial lobes of the liver were clipped for 45 min to make the total blood supply flow through the other lobes. Total antioxidant status, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dysmutase activity, as well as the concentrations of diene conjugates and free sulphydril groups, H-donating ability and reducing power of the liver samples were determined. Chemiluminescent intensity of the liver was also measured. Metal ions (Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn) and P and S concentrations of the liver were determined with an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer and Se content was measured by cathodic stripping voltammetry.
RESULTS: Glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dysmutase activities of the liver decreased significantly in the hyperemia group compared to those observed in the sham operated group. The level of total antioxidant status was also significantly lower in the hyperemia group. H-donating ability, reducing power and free sulphydril group concentration showed the same tendency. A significant correlation (P<0.05) was found between the changes in non-specific antioxidant activities. This pointed to simultaneous activity of the antioxidant defence system. Al, Cu, Mn, Zn, and S were lower in the hyperemia group than in the sham operated group when the levels of Ca, Fe, Mg, Se and P ions were higher during hyperemia.
CONCLUSION: Oxidative stress is one of the main factors for the injury of intact liver lobes during ischaemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of inhibition of cell proliferation by mixed isomers of CLA (9-cis, 11-trans CLA; 10-trans, 12-cis CLA) on human, non-tumorigenic MCF10A cells that were derived from mammary ductal epithelial cells and MCF7 cells that were derived from a well differentiation mammary adenocarcinoma. When treated in the log phase of growth, the uptake of CLA by MCF7 exceeded the levels measured in MCF10A cells. Treatment with CLA in the presence of HPO doubled the incorporation of CLA in MCF7 cells, independent of the isomer, but reduced the incorporation of CLA by MCF10A cells. CLA caused tumor cell-targeted increased expression of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE), a product of lipid peroxidation, and decreased proliferation in MCF7 cells, as measured by the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and expression of phosphorylated histone H3, and the effects of CLA in combination with HPO on mitosis were greater than the effects of either agent alone. Decreased cell proliferation in CLA-treated MCF7 cells coincided with increased nuclear localization of phosphorylated, activated p53 protein, and decreased nuclear localization of the transcription factor FKHRSer256. Importantly, CLA-treated MCF7 cells were more sensitive than MCF10A cells to HPO-induced 4HNE, expression of p53, and decreased mitotic activity. These studies suggest that tumor cell-targeted increased sensitivity to oxidative stress and activation of p53 play important roles in the regulation of human breast cancer cell proliferation by CLA.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is abundantly expressed in pulmonary hypertension, but its effect on the pulmonary circulation remains unsettled. We studied the consequences of TGF-beta1 stimulation on freshly isolated human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMC). TGF-beta1 initially promoted differentiation, with upregulated expression of smooth muscle contractile proteins. TGF-beta1 also induced expression of Nox4, the only NAD(P)H oxidase membrane homolog found in HPASMC, through a signaling pathway involving Smad 2/3 but not mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases. TGF-beta1 likewise increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), an effect significantly reduced by the NAD(P)H oxidase flavoprotein inhibitor diphenylene iodonium (DPI) and by Nox4 siRNAs. In the absence of TGF-beta1, Nox4 was present in freshly cultured cells but progressively lost with each passage in culture, paralleling a decrease in ROS production by HPASMC over time. At a later time point (72 h), TGF-beta1 promoted HPASMC proliferation in a manner partially inhibited by Nox4 small interfering RNA and dominant negative Smad 2/3, indicating that TGF-beta1 stimulates HPASMC growth in part by a redox-dependent mechanism mediated through induction of Nox4. HPASMC activation of the MAP kinases ERK1/2 was reduced by the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitors DPI and 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride, suggesting that TGF-beta1 may facilitate proliferation by upregulating Nox4 and ROS production, with transient oxidative inactivation of phosphatases and augmentation of growth signaling cascades. These findings suggest that Nox4 is the relevant Nox homolog in HPASMC. This is the first observation that TGF-beta1 regulates Nox4, with important implications for mechanisms of pulmonary vascular remodeling.

Abstract
Alterations in maternal dietary choline availability during days 12-17 of pregnancy led to an increase in the level of immunoreactive netrin-1 and a decrease in the level of DCC protein in the developing fetal mouse brain hippocampus compared with controls. Changes in the expression of cell migration cues during development could account for some of the lifelong consequences of maternal dietary choline availability for cognitive and memory processes.

Abstract
Previous studies show that acute choline deficiency (CD) triggers apoptosis in cultured rat hepatocytes (CWSV-1 cells). We demonstrate that prolonged EGF stimulation (10 ng/mL x 48 hrs) restores cell proliferation, as assessed by BrdU labeling, and protects cells from CD-induced apoptosis, as assessed by TUNEL labeling and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. However, EGF rescue was not accompanied by restoration of depleted intracellular concentrations of choline, glycerphosphocholine, phosphocholine, or phosphatidylcholine. In contrast, we show that EGF stimulation blocks apoptosis by restoring mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi(m)), as determined using the potential-sensitive dye chloromethyl-X-rosamine, and by preventing the release and nuclear localization of cytochrome c. We investigated whether EGF rescue involves EGF receptor phosphorylation and activation of the down-stream cell survival factor Akt. Compared to cells in control medium (CT, 70 micromol choline x 48 hrs), cells in CD medium (5 micromol choline) were less sensitive to EGF-induced (0-300 ng/mL x 5 min) receptor tyrosine phosphorylation. Compared to cells in CT medium, cells in CD medium treated with EGF (10 ng/mL x 5 min) exhibited higher levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent phosphorylation of AktSer473. Inactivation of PI3K was sufficient to block EGF-stimulated activation of Akt, restoration of mitochondrial Delta Psi(m), and prevention of cytochrome c release. These studies indicate that stimulation with EGF activates a cell survival response against CD-apoptosis by restoring mitochondrial membrane potential and preventing cytochrome c release and nuclear translocation which are mediated by activation of Akt in hepatocytes.

Abstract
Cerebral endothelial cells in the rat, pig, and, most recently, human have been shown to express several types of receptors specific for glutamate. High levels of glutamate disrupt the cerebral endothelial barrier via activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. We have previously suggested that this glutamate-induced barrier dysfunction was oxidant dependent. Here, we provide evidence that human cerebral endothelial cells respond to glutamate by generating an intracellular oxidant stress via NMDA receptor activation. Cerebral endothelial cells loaded with the oxidant-sensitive probe dihydrorhodamine were used to measure intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation in response to glutamate receptor agonists, antagonists, and second message blockers. Glutamate (1 mM) significantly increased ROS formation compared with sham controls (30 min). This ROS response was significantly reduced by 1) MK-801, a noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist; 2) 8-( N, N-diethylamino)- n-octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate, an intracellular Ca2+antagonist; 3) LaCl3, an extracellular Ca2+channel blocker; 4) diphenyleiodonium, a heme-ferryl-containing protein inhibitor; 5) itraconazole, a cytochrome P-450 3A4 inhibitor; and 6) cyclosporine A, which prevents mitochondrial membrane pore transition required for mitochondrial-dependent ROS generation. Our results suggest that the cerebral endothelial barrier dysfunction seen in response to glutamate is Ca2+dependent and may require several intracellular signaling events mediated by oxidants derived from reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase, cytochrome P-450, and the mitochondria.

Abstract
The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in neuronal death has been determined in culture, and in association with several neurodegenerative disorders. We examined whether ROS participate in the cell death observed during spinal cord development. We found that the general pattern of high ROS levels, gene expression for some antioxidant enzymes, and motoneuron death correlated positively along spinal cord development. ROS were reduced in spinal cords cultured in the presence of a synthetic superoxide dismutase and catalase mimetic, with a concomitant reduction in cell death and an increase in the number of motoneurons. The number of motoneurons was higher in spinal cords treated with the antioxidant than in those treated with caspase inhibitors. In general, the increase in motoneuron survival did not correlate with the reduction in cells undergoing DNA degradation in the motoneuronal region. These results suggest that ROS are signaling molecules controlling caspase-dependent and caspase-independent programmed motoneuron death, and support the hypothesis that this mechanism is abnormally turned on in some neurodegenerative disorders and aging.

Abstract
Choline deficiency (CD) is involved in hepatocellular carcinoma and CD-induced apoptosis may be implicated in cellular malignant transformation. In this report, we studied the effects of choline deficiency on generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) using the fluorescent probe dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate and the possible role of ROS on CD-induced apoptosis in cultured CWSV-1 cells, an immortalized rat hepatocyte. This cell line is reported to become tumorigenic by step-wise culturing in lower levels of choline. Our data demonstrate that CD induces a time- and dose-dependent increase in ROS in CWSV-1 cells. The increase in ROS production may be related to dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Our data also demonstrated that ROS generation occurred before CD-induced apoptosis, suggesting ROS may play a key role in signaling CD-induced apoptosis in CWSV-1 cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Choline is a required nutrient, and humans deprived of choline develop liver damage. OBJECTIVE This study examined the effect of choline deficiency on muscle cells and the release of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) as a sequela of that deficiency. DESIGN Four men were fed diets containing adequate and deficient amounts of choline, and serum was collected at intervals for measurement of CPK. C2C12 mouse myoblasts were cultured in a defined medium containing 0 or 70 micromol choline/L for up to 96 h, and CPK was measured in the media; choline and metabolites were measured in cells. Apoptosis was assessed by using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin end labeling and activated caspase-3 immunohistochemistry. Cell fragility in response to hypo-osmotic stress was also assessed. RESULTS Three of 4 humans fed a choline-deficient diet had significantly elevated serum CPK activity derived from skeletal muscle (up to 66-fold; P < 0.01) that resolved when choline was restored to their diets. Cells grown in choline-deficient medium for 72 h leaked 3.5-fold more CPK than did cells grown in medium with 70 micromol choline/L (control medium; P < 0.01). Apoptosis was induced in cells grown in choline-deficient medium. Phosphatidylcholine concentrations were diminished in choline-deficient cells (to 43% of concentrations in control cells at 72 h; P < 0.01), as were concentrations of intracellular choline, phosphocholine, and glycerophosphocholine. Cells grown in choline-deficient medium had greater membrane osmotic fragility than did cells grown in control medium. CONCLUSIONS Choline deficiency results in diminished concentrations of membrane phosphatidylcholine in myocytes, which makes them more fragile and results in increased leakage of CPK from cells. Serum CPK may be a useful clinical marker for choline deficiency in humans.

Abstract
Activation of transforming growth factor-beta type 1- (TGFbeta1) mediated signaling occurs in response to cell injury affecting stem-type cells and hepatocytes in liver. In this work we used WB stemlike liver epithelial cells and p53-defective CWSV-1 nontumorigenic rat hepatocytes to investigate the possible roles of caspases and oxidative stress in TGFbeta1 signaling. TGFbeta1 significantly increased the level of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), a stable product of lipid peroxidation. In addition, TGFbeta1-treated cells exhibited activation of caspases that accompanied by enhanced cleavage of the caspase substrate poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) and induction of apoptosis. WB cells were twice as sensitive as sensitive as CWSV-1 cells to induction of TGFbeta1 apoptosis. TGFbeta1-apoptosis was significantly reduced when cells were treated with TGFbeta1 in the presence of inhibitors of caspase-1, -3, -8, and -9. Importantly, in addition to suppression of apoptosis, treatment of cells with the caspase-3 inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK in the presence of TGFbeta1 suppressed the formation 4-HNE and restored mitotic activity. Together, these data suggest TGFbeta1 induces activation of a caspase signaling cascade that includes an oxidative damage response, PARP cleavage, and apoptosis that do not require intact p53 in rat hepatocytes.
