Abstract
This review begins with the premise that an organism's life span is determined by the balance between two countervailing forces: (i) the sum of destabilizing effects and (ii) the sum of protective longevity-assurance processes. Against this backdrop, the role of electrophiles is discussed, both as destabilizing factors and as signals that induce protective responses. Because most biological macromolecules contain nucleophilic centers, electrophiles are particularly reactive and toxic in a biological context. The majority of cellular electrophiles are generated from polyunsaturated fatty acids by a peroxidation chain reaction that is readily triggered by oxygen-centered radicals, but propagates without further input of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, the formation of lipid-derived electrophiles such as 4-hydroxynon-2-enal (4-HNE) is proposed to be relatively insensitive to the level of initiating ROS, but to depend mainly on the availability of peroxidation-susceptible fatty acids. This is consistent with numerous observations that life span is inversely correlated to membrane peroxidizability, and with the hypothesis that 4-HNE may constitute the mechanistic link between high susceptibility of membrane lipids to peroxidation and shortened life span. Experimental interventions that directly alter membrane composition (and thus their peroxidizability) or modulate 4-HNE levels have the expected effects on life span, establishing that the connection is not only correlative but causal. Specific molecular mechanisms are considered, by which 4-HNE could (i) destabilize biological systems via nontargeted reactions with cellular macromolecules and (ii) modulate signaling pathways that control longevity-assurance mechanisms.

Abstract
Nε-(Hexanoyl)lysine, formed by the reaction of lysine with n-6 lipid hydroperoxide, is a lipid peroxidation marker during the initial stage of oxidative stress. The aim of the present study is to indentify Nε-(hexanoyl)lysine-modified proteins in neoplastic transformed gastric mucosal cells by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, and to compare the levels of these proteins between gastric mucosal cells and normal gastric cells. Much greater fluorescence of 2-[6-(4'-hydroxy)phenoxyl-3H-xanthen-3-on-9-yl]benzoic acid, an index of the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species, was observed for gastric mucosal cells compared to normal gastric cells. Nε-(Hexanoyl)lysine-modified proteins were detected by SDS-PAGE or two-dimensional electrophoresis and Western blotting using anti-Nε-(hexanoyl)lysine polyclonal antibody, and a protein band of between 30–40 kDa was clearly increased in gastric mucosal cells compared to normal gastric cells. Two Nε-(hexanoyl)lysine-modified protein spots in gastric mucosal cells were identified as the tropomyosin 1 protein by mass spectrometry using a MASCOT search. The existence of Nε-(hexanoyl)lysine modification in tropomyosin 1 was confirmed by Western blotting of SDS-PAGE-separated or two-dimensional electrophoresis-separated proteins as well as by the immunoprecipitation with anti-tropomyosin 1 antibody. These data indicate that Nε-(hexanoyl)lysine modification of tropomyosin 1 may be related to neoplastic transformation by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in gastric epithelial cells.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is implicated in the etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease. PD is treated with chronic administration of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (levodopa, L-DOPA), and typically, increasing doses are used during progression of the disease. Paradoxically, L-DOPA is a pro-oxidant and induces cell death in cellular models of PD through disruption of sulfhydryl homeostasis involving loss of the thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase functions of the glutaredoxin (Grx1) and thioredoxin (Trx1) enzyme systems [Sabens, E. A., Distler, A. M., and Mieyal, J. J. (2010) Biochemistry 49 (12), 2715-2724]. Considering this loss of both Grx1 and Trx1 activities upon L-DOPA treatment, we sought to elucidate the mechanism(s) of L-DOPA-induced apoptosis. In other contexts, both the NFκB (nuclear factor κB) pathway and the ASK1 (apoptosis signaling kinase 1) pathway have been shown to be regulated by both Grx1 and Trx1, and both pathways have been implicated in cell death signaling in model systems of PD. Moreover, mixed lineage kinase (MLK) has been considered as a potential therapeutic target for PD. Using SHSY5Y cells as model dopaminergic neurons, we found that NFκB activity was not altered by L-DOPA treatment, and the selective MLK inhibitor (CEP-1347) did not protect the cells from L-DOPA. In contrast, ASK1 was activated with L-DOPA treatment as indicated by phosphorylation of its downstream mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), p38 and JNK. Chemical inhibition of either p38 or JNK provided protection from L-DOPA-induced apoptosis. Moreover, direct knockdown of ASK1 protected from L-DOPA-induced neuronal cell death. These results identify ASK1 as the main pro-apoptotic pathway activated in response to L-DOPA treatment, implicating it as a potential target for adjunct therapy in PD.

Abstract
The sustained overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species results in an imbalance of cellular prooxidant-antioxidant systems and is implicated in numerous disease states, including alcoholic liver disease, cancer, neurological disorders, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. The accumulation of reactive aldehydes resulting from sustained oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation is an underlying factor in the development of these pathologies. Determining the biochemical factors that elicit cellular responses resulting from protein carbonylation remains a key element to developing therapeutic approaches and ameliorating disease pathologies. This review details our current understanding of the generation of reactive aldehydes via lipid peroxidation resulting in protein carbonylation, focusing on pathophysiologic factors associated with 4-hydroxynonenal-protein modification. Additionally, an overview of in vitro and in vivo model systems used to study the physiologic impact of protein carbonylation is presented. Finally, an update of the methods commonly used in characterizing protein modification by reactive aldehydes provides an overview of isolation techniques, mass spectrometry, and computational biology. It is apparent that research in this area employing state-of-the-art proteomics, mass spectrometry, and computational biology is rapidly evolving, yielding foundational knowledge concerning the molecular mechanisms of protein carbonylation and its relation to a spectrum of diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
![]()
The analysis of protein modification by electrophiles is a challenging problem. Most reported protein–electrophile adducts have been characterized from in vitro reactions or through affinity capture of the adduct moiety, which enables global analyses but is poorly suited to targeted studies of specific proteins. We employed a targeted molecular probe approach to study modifications of the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), which regulates diverse client proteins. Noncovalent affinity capture with a biotinyl–geldanamycin probe isolated both isoforms of the native protein (Hsp90α and Hsp90β) from human RKO colorectal cancer cells. Geldanamycin–biotin capture afforded higher purity Hsp90 than did immunoprecipitation and enabled detection of endogenously phosphorylated protein by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We applied this approach to map and quantify adducts formed on Hsp90 by 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) in RKO cells. LC-MS/MS analyses of tryptic digests by identified His450 and His490 of Hsp90α as having a 158 Da modification, corresponding to NaBH4-reduced HNE adducts. Five histidine residues were also adducted on Hsp90β: His171, His442, His458, His625, and His632. The rates of adduction at these sites were determined with Hsp90 protein in vitro and with Hsp90 in HNE-treated cells with a LC-MS/MS-based, label-free relative quantitation method. During in vitro and cell treatment with HNE, residues on Hsp90α and Hsp90β displayed adduction rates ranging from 3.0 × 10–5 h–1 to 1.08 ± 0.17 h–1. Within the middle client-binding domain of Hsp90α, residue His450 demonstrated the most rapid adduction with kobs of 1.08 ± 0.17 h–1 in HNE-treated cells. The homologous residue on Hsp90β, His442, was adducted more rapidly than the N-terminal residue, His171, despite very similar predicted pKa values of both residues. The Hsp90 middle client-binding domain thus may play a signicant role in HNE-mediated disruption of Hsp90–client protein interactions. The results illustrate the utility of a protein-selective affinity capture approach for targeted analysis of electrophile adducts and their biological effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatosteatosis is a common pathological feature of impaired hepatic metabolism following chronic alcohol consumption. Although often benign and reversible, it is widely believed that steatosis is a risk factor for development of advanced liver pathologies, including steatohepatitis and fibrosis. The hepatocyte alterations accompanying the initiation of steatosis are not yet clearly defined. METHODS Induction of hepatosteatosis by chronic ethanol consumption was investigated using the Lieber-DeCarli (LD) high fat diet model. Effects were assessed by immunohistochemistry and blood and tissue enzymatic assays. Cell culture models were employed for mechanistic studies. RESULTS Pair feeding mice ethanol (LD-Et) or isocaloric control (LD-Co) diets for 6 weeks progressively increased hepatocyte triglyceride accumulation in morphological, biochemical, and zonally distinct cytoplasmic lipid droplets (CLD). The LD-Et diet induced zone 2-specific triglyceride accumulation in large CLD coated with perilipin, adipophilin (ADPH), and TIP47. In LD-Co-fed mice, CLD were significantly smaller than those in LD-Et-fed mice and lacked perilipin. A direct role of perilipin in formation of large CLD was further suggested by cell culture studies showing that perilipin-coated CLD were significantly larger than those coated with ADPH or TIP47. LD-Co- and LD-Et-fed animals also differed in hepatic metabolic stress responses. In LD-Et but not LD-Co-fed mice, inductions were observed in the following: microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system [cytochrome P-4502E1 (CYP2E1)], hypoxia response pathway (hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha, HIF1α), endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway (calreticulin), and synthesis of lipid peroxidation products [4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)]. CYP2E1 and HIF1 α immunostaining localized to zone 3 and did not correlate with accumulation of large CLD. In contrast, calreticulin and 4-HNE immunostaining closely correlated with large CLD accumulation. Importantly, 4-HNE staining significantly colocalized with ADPH and perilipin on the CLD surface. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that ethanol contributes to macrosteatosis by both altering CLD protein composition and inducing lipid peroxide adduction of CLD-associated proteins.

Abstract
4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) is an endogenous product of lipid peroxidation known to play a role in cellular signaling through protein modification and is a major precursor for protein carbonyl adducts found in alcoholic liver disease (ALD). In the present study, a greater than 2-fold increase in protein carbonylation of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial class III histone deacetylase, is reported in liver mitochondrial extracts of ethanol-consuming mice. The consequence of this in vivo carbonylation on SIRT3 deacetylase activity is unknown. Interestingly, mitochondrial protein hyperacetylation was observed in a time-dependent increase in a model of chronic ethanol consumption; however, the underlying mechanisms for this remain unknown. Tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify and characterize the in vitro covalent modification of rSIRT3 by 4-HNE at Cys(280), a critical zinc-binding residue, and the resulting inhibition of rSIRT3 activity via pathophysiologically relevant concentrations of 4-HNE. Computational-based molecular modeling simulations indicate that 4-HNE modification alters the conformation of the zinc-binding domain inducing minor changes within the active site, resulting in the allosteric inhibition of SIRT3 activity. These conformational data are supported by the calculated binding energies derived from molecular docking studies suggesting the substrate peptide of acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (AceCS2-K(ac)) and display a greater affinity for native SIRT3 as compared with the 4-HNE adducted protein. The results of this study characterize altered mitochondrial protein acetylation in a mouse model of chronic ethanol ingestion and thiol-specific allosteric inhibition of rSIRT3 resulting from 4-HNE adduction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress is one component of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) that is manifested in the peroxidation of cellular lipids producing the electrophile, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). This electrophile is proposed to modify essential cellular proteins resulting in loss of protein function and cellular homeostasis. Studies were initiated to identify hepatic proteins that are targets of 4-HNE modification and determine their relationship with progression of the early stages of ALD. METHODS Rat and mouse models were developed using the Lieber-DeCarli diet to simulate early stages of ALD consisting of fatty liver (steatosis) and hepatocellular injury indicated by a 1.5-2-fold elevation of plasma ALT activity. Liver samples obtained from control and ethanol treated animals were subjected to two-dimensional electrophoresis and immunoblotting using polyclonal antibodies generated against 4-HNE epitopes for detection of proteins modified by 4-HNE. Following identification of 4-HNE adducted proteins, the respective recombinant proteins modified with physiologic concentrations of 4-HNE were evaluated to determine the functional consequences of 4-HNE modification. RESULTS One group of proteins identified included Hsp70, Hsp90 and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), all of which are involved in protein folding or processing are targets of adduction. In vitro assays indicated significant impairment of the protein activities following modification with physiologically relevant concentrations of 4-HNE. Liver fatty acid binding protein, L-FABP, was also identified as a target and additional studies revealed that the levels of this protein were significantly decreased because of chronic ethanol ingestion. Erk1/2 was identified as a target for modification and subsequently determined to have impaired activity. CONCLUSIONS Inhibition of Hsp70, Hsp90 and PDI function could be involved in initiation of the early phases of ER stress contributing to stimulation and accumulation of hepatic lipids. Likewise, impairment of L-FABP activity could also disrupt lipid transport also contributing to steatosis. The modification and inhibition of Erk1/2 by 4-HNE may also contribute to the decreased hepatocellular proliferation associated with ALD. Collectively, these results provide new information concerning the mechanisms whereby the modification of hepatic proteins by 4-HNE contributes to ALD.

Abstract

Electrophile-mediated disruption of cell signal-ing is involved in the pathogenesis of several diseases including atherosclerosis and cancer. Diffusible and membrane bound lipid electrophiles are known to modify DNA and protein substrates and modulate cellular pathways including ER stress, antioxidant response, DNA damage, heat shock, and apoptosis. Herein we report on a structure−activity relationship for several electrophilic analogues of 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and 4-oxononenal (ONE) with regard to toxicity and anti-inflammatory activity. The analogues studied were the oxidation products of HNE and ONE, HNEA/ONEA, the in vivo hydrolysis products of oxidized phosphatidylcholine, COOH-HNE/COOH-ONE, and their methyl esters, COOMe-HNE/ONE. The reactivity of each compound toward N-acetylcysteine was determined and compared to the toxicity toward a human colorectal carcinoma cell line (RKO) and a human monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1). Further analysis was performed in differentiated THP-1 macrophages to assess changes in macrophage activation and pro-inflammatory signaling in response to each lipid electrophile. HNE/ONE analogues inhibited THP-1 macrophage production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNFα, after lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/IFNγ activation. Inhibition of cytokine production was observed at submicromolar concentrations of several analogues with as little as 30 min of exposure. Phagocytosis of fluorescent beads was also inhibited by lipid electrophile treatment. Lipid electrophiles related to HNE/ONE are both toxic and anti-inflammatory, but the anti-inflammatory effects in human macrophages are observed at nontoxic concentrations. Neither toxicity nor anti-inflammatory activity are strongly correlated to the reactivity of the model nucleophile, N-acetylcysteine.

Abstract
4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) is a lipid peroxidation product formed during oxidative stress that can alter protein function via adduction of nucleophilic amino acid residues. 4-HNE detoxification occurs mainly via glutathione (GSH) conjugation and transporter-mediated efflux. This results in a net loss of cellular GSH, and restoration of GSH homeostasis requires de novo GSH biosynthesis. The rate-limiting step in GSH biosynthesis is catalyzed by glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL), a heterodimeric holoenzyme composed of a catalytic (GCLC) and a modulatory (GCLM) subunit. The relative levels of the GCL subunits are a major determinant of cellular GSH biosynthetic capacity and 4-HNE induces the expression of both GCL subunits. In this study, we demonstrate that 4-HNE can alter GCL holoenzyme formation and activity via direct posttranslational modification of the GCL subunits in vitro. 4-HNE directly modified Cys553 of GCLC and Cys35 of GCLM in vitro, which significantly increased monomeric GCLC enzymatic activity, but reduced GCL holoenzyme activity and formation of the GCL holoenzyme complex. In silico molecular modeling studies also indicate these residues are likely to be functionally relevant. Within a cellular context, this novel posttranslational regulation of GCL activity could significantly affect cellular GSH homeostasis and GSH-dependent detoxification during periods of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and resulting lipid peroxidation is involved in various and numerous pathological states including inflammation, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. This review is focused on recent advances concerning the formation, metabolism and reactivity towards macromolecules of lipid peroxidation breakdown products, some of which being considered as 'second messengers' of oxidative stress. This review relates also new advances regarding apoptosis induction, survival/proliferation processes and autophagy regulated by 4-hydroxynonenal, a major product of omega-6 fatty acid peroxidation, in relationship with detoxication mechanisms. The use of these lipid peroxidation products as oxidative stress/lipid peroxidation biomarkers is also addressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a feature of metabolic syndrome. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are formed by the Maillard reaction, which contributes to aging and to certain pathological complications of diabetes. A recent study has suggested that glyceraldehyde-derived AGEs (Glycer-AGEs) are elevated in the sera of patients with NASH. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry of Glycer-AGEs showed intense staining in the livers of patients with NASH. The present study aimed to examine the effect of intracellular Glycer-AGEs on hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep3B) cells. METHODS Cell viability was determined by the WST-1 assay. The slot blot and Western blot were used to detect intracellular Glycer-AGEs, and their localization was analyzed by confocal microscopy. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to quantify the mRNA for the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP). RESULTS Glyceraldehyde (GA), which is the precursor of Glycer-AGEs, induced a concentration- and time-dependent increase in cell death, which was associated with an increase in intracellular Glycer-AGEs formation. Aminoguanidine (AG), which prevents AGEs formation, inhibited the formation of intracellular Glycer-AGEs and prevented cell death. Among the intracellular Glycer-AGEs that were formed, heat shock cognate 70 (Hsc70) was identified as a GA-modified protein, and its modification reduced the activity of Hsc70. Furthermore, intracellular Glycer-AGEs increased the CRP mRNA concentration. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that intracellular Glycer-AGEs play important roles in promoting inflammation and hepatocellular death.

Abstract
![]()
Biological electrophiles result from oxidative metabolism of exogenous compounds or endogenous cellular constituents, and they contribute to pathophysiologies such as toxicity and carcinogenicity. The chemical toxicology of electrophiles is dominated by covalent addition to intracellular nucleophiles. Reaction with DNA leads to the production of adducts that block replication or induce mutations. The chemistry and biology of electrophile−DNA reactions have been extensively studied, providing in many cases a detailed understanding of the relation between adduct structure and mutational consequences. By contrast, the linkage between protein modification and cellular response is poorly understood. In this Account, we describe our efforts to define the chemistry of protein modification and its biological consequences using lipid-derived α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as model electrophiles. In our global approach, two large data sets are analyzed: one represents the identity of proteins modified over a wide range of electrophile concentrations, and the second comprises changes in gene expression observed under similar conditions. Informatics tools show theoretical connections based primarily on transcription factors hypothetically shared between the two data sets, downstream of adducted proteins and upstream of affected genes. This method highlights potential electrophile-sensitive signaling pathways and transcriptional processes for further evaluation. Peroxidation of cellular phospholipids generates a complex mixture of both membrane-bound and diffusible electrophiles. The latter include reactive species such as malondialdehyde, 4-oxononenal, and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE). Enriching HNE-adducted proteins for proteomic analysis was a technical challenge, solved with click chemistry that generated biotin-tagged protein adducts. For this purpose, HNE analogues bearing terminal azide or alkyne functionalities were synthesized. Cellular lysates were first exposed to a single type of HNE analogue (azido- or alkynyl-HNE), and then click reactions were performed against the cognate alkynyl- and azido-biotin derivative. The resulting biotin-labeled proteins were captured and enriched over a streptavidin matrix for subsequent mass spectrometric analysis. We thereby identified a multitude of HNE targets. Simultaneous microarray analysis of changes in gene expression triggered by HNE also produced an abundance of data. Functional analysis of both data sets generated the hypothesis that an important pathway of cellular response derives from electrophile modification of protein chaperones, resulting in the release of transcription factors that are their clients. Informatic analysis of the protein modification and microarray data sets identified several transcription factors as potential mediators of the cellular response to HNE-adducted proteins. Among these, heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) was confirmed as a sensitive and robust effector of HNE-induced changes in gene expression. Activation of HSF1 appears, in part, to be mediated by the electrophilic adduction of Hsp70 and Hsp90, which normally maintain HSF1 in an inactive cytosolic complex. The identification of HSF1 as a mediator of biological effects downstream of HSF1 has provided new opportunities for research, illustrating the potential of our systems-based approach. Accordingly, we characterized HSF1-mediated gene expression in protecting against electrophile-induced toxicity. Among the genes induced by HSF1, Bcl-2- associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) is notable for its actions in promoting cell survival through stabilization of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, appearing to have a critical role in mediating cellular protection against electrophile-induced death.

Abstract
Over the past several years, research on biologically relevant electrophiles has been replete with new insights, expanding our understanding of the roles electrophiles play in vivo. Importantly, many electrophiles can form reversible covalent adducts with both proteins and small-molecule thiols in cells. This post-translational protein modification has important ramifications, including changes in protein enzymatic activity, the transduction of signals within and between cells, and alterations in gene expression. Electrophiles modulate a variety of cellular signaling processes that are involved in several major diseases with inflammatory components. The electrophilic fatty-acid derivatives discussed in this work are naturally occurring products of redox reactions and enzymatic activity. Furthermore, several of these electrophilic species and their derivatives represent potential therapeutic candidates.

Abstract
The protein targets and sites of modification by 4-hydroxy-2(E)-nonenal (HNE) in human monocytic THP-1 cells after exogenous exposure to HNE were examined using a multipronged proteomic approach involving electrophoretic, immunoblotting, and mass spectrometric methods. Immunoblot analysis using monoclonal anti-HNE antibodies showed several proteins as targets of HNE adduction. Pretreatment of THP-1 cells with ascorbic acid resulted in reduced levels of HNE-protein adducts. Biotinylation of Michael-type HNE adducts using an aldehyde-reactive hydroxylamine-functionalized probe (aldehyde-reactive probe, ARP) and subsequent enrichment facilitated the identification and site-specific assignment of the modifications by LC-MS/MS analysis. Sixteen proteins were unequivocally identified as targets of HNE adduction, and eighteen sites of HNE modification at Cys and His residues were assigned. HNE exposure of THP-1 cells resulted in the modification of proteins involved in cytoskeleton organization and regulation, proteins associated with stress responses, and enzymes of the glycolytic and other metabolic pathways. This study yielded the first evidence of site-specific adduction of HNE to Cys-295 in tubulin alpha-1B chain, Cys-351 and Cys-499 in alpha-actinin-4, Cys-328 in vimentin, Cys-369 in D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, and His-246 in aldolase A.

Abstract
Acrolein and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) are byproducts of lipid peroxidation and are thought to play central roles in various traumatic injuries and disease states that involve cellular oxidative stress, for example, spinal cord trauma, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. In this review, we will discuss the chemical attributes of acrolein and HNE that determine their toxicities. Specifically, these aldehydes are classified as type 2 alkenes and are characterized by an alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl structure. This structure is a conjugated system that contains mobile pi-electrons. The carbonyl oxygen atom is electronegative and can promote the withdrawal of mobile electron density from the beta-carbon atom causing regional electron deficiency. On the basis of this type of electron polarizability, both acrolein and HNE are considered to be soft electrophiles that preferentially form 1,4-Michael type adducts with soft nucleophiles. Proteomic, quantum mechanical, and kinetic data will be presented, indicating that cysteine sulfhydryl groups are the primary soft nucleophilic targets of acrolein and HNE. This is in contrast to nitrogen groups on harder biological nucleophiles such as lysine or histidine residues. The toxicological outcome of adduct formation is not only dependent upon residue selectivity but also the importance of the targeted amino acid in protein function or structure. In attempting to discern the toxicological significance of a given adduct, we will consider the normal roles of cysteine, lysine, and histidine residues in proteins and the relative merits of corresponding adducts in the manifestations of diseases or toxic states. Understanding the molecular actions of acrolein and HNE could provide insight into many pathogenic conditions that involve initial cellular oxidative stress and could, thereby, offer new efficacious avenues of pharmacological defense.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRX6) belongs to the 1-Cys class of peroxiredoxins and is recognized as an important antioxidant protein in tissues such as cardiac muscle, skin, and lung. Preliminary in vivo proteomic data have revealed that PRX6 is adducted by 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE) in the livers of rats chronically fed an ethanol-containing diet. The goals of this study were to evaluate the in vitro effect of aldehyde adduction on PRX6 peroxidase activity, identify specific sites of aldehyde modification using mass spectrometry, and predict conformational changes due to adduction using molecular modeling. PRX6 was found to be resistant to inactivation via aldehyde modification; however, Western blots of adducted protein revealed that both 4HNE and 4-oxononenal (4ONE) caused extensive cross-linking, resulting in high molecular mass species. Tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-LC-MS/MS) analysis demonstrated multiple sites of modification, but adduction of the active site Cys47 was not observed. Molecular modeling simulations indicated that adduction at Cys91 results in a change in protein active site conformation, which potentially restricts access of 4-HNE to Cys47. The Cys91-Lys209 cross-linked adducts could provide the conformational changes required to inactivate the protein by either restricting access to electrophiles or preventing important amino acid interactions within the catalytic triad.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is implicated in the etiology of many diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Peroxiredoxin 6 is a cytosolic peroxidase that has been demonstrated to protect various tissues, such as skin, lung, and cardiac muscle, against acute oxidative insults. Consequently, peroxiredoxin 6 was hypothesized to also protect the liver from oxidative stress generated during the process of chronic ethanol ingestion. To test this, wild-type peroxiredoxin 6 knockout mice (KO), and transgenic peroxiredoxin 6 overexpressing mice (TG) were fed an ethanol-containing diet. Various biomarkers of ALD were assessed, along with the effects of chronic ethanol consumption on the antioxidant defenses. After 9 weeks of ethanol consumption, all backgrounds exhibited elevations of plasma alanine aminotransferase activity, hepatosteatosis, CYP2E1 induction, and lipid peroxidation; however, hepatic triglyceride accumulation seemed to be exacerbated in ethanol-fed TG mice. Differences in antioxidant protein expression and activity in response to chronic ethanol consumption were also observed. Examples include significant inductions of catalase and glutathione transferase activity in ethanol-fed KO and TG mice, along with elevated levels of glutathione peroxidase activity. These alterations in antioxidant defenses could be attributed to either compensatory responses due to the genetic manipulations or ethanol-mediated responses. In conclusion, both ethanol-fed KO and ethanol-fed TG mice developed early stage ALD and peroxiredoxin 6 may play a role in ethanol-mediated hepatic lipid accumulation.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation yields a variety of electrophiles, which are thought to contribute to the molecular pathogenesis of diseases involving oxidative stress, yet little is known of the scope of protein damage caused by lipid electrophiles. We identified protein targets of the prototypical lipid electrophile 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) in RKO cells treated with 50 or 100 μm HNE. HNE Michael adducts were biotinylated by reaction with biotinamidohexanoic acid hydrazide, captured with streptavidin, and the captured proteins were resolved by one dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, digested with trypsin, and identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Of the 1500+ proteins identified, 417 displayed a statistically significant increase in adduction with increasing HNE exposure concentration. We further identified 18 biotin hydrazide-modified, HNE-adducted peptides by specific capture using anti-biotin antibody and analysis by high resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A subset of the identified HNE targets were validated with a streptavidin capture and immunoblotting approach, which enabled detection of adducts at HNE exposures as low as 1 μm. Protein interaction network analysis indicated several subsystems impacted by endogenous electrophiles in oxidative stress, including the 26 S proteasomal and chaperonin containing TCP-1 (CCT) systems involved in protein-folding and degradation, as well as the COP9 signalosome, translation initiation complex, and a large network of ribonucleoproteins. Global analyses of protein lipid electrophile adducts provide a systems-level perspective on the mechanisms of diseases involving oxidative stress.

Abstract
Alcoholic liver disease is multifactorial and oxidative stress is believed to play an intimate role in the initiation and progression of this pathology. The goals of this study were to investigate the effect of chronic ethanol treatment on inducing hepatic oxidative stress and peroxiredoxin 6 expression. After 9 weeks of treatment with an ethanol-containing diet, significant increases in serum ALT activity, liver to body weight ratio, liver triglycerides, CYP2E1 protein expression, and CYP2E1 activity were observed. Chronic ethanol feeding resulted in oxidative stress as evidenced by decreases in hepatic glutathione content and increased deposition of 4-hydroxynonenal and 4-oxononenal protein adducts. In addition, novel findings of decreased PRX6 protein and mRNA and increased levels of carbonylated PRX6 protein were observed in the ethanol-treated animals compared to the pair-fed controls. Lastly, NF-kappaB activity was found to be significantly increased in the ethanol-treated animals. Concurrent with the increase in NF-kappaB activity, decreases in both MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were also observed in the ethanol-treated animals compared to the pair-fed controls. Together, these data demonstrate that chronic ethanol treatment results in oxidative stress, implicating NF-kappaB activation as an integral mechanism in the negative regulation of PRX6 gene expression in the mouse liver.

Abstract
Reactive electrophiles generated by lipid peroxidation are thought to contribute to cardiovascular disease and other oxidative stress-related pathologies by covalently modifying proteins and affecting critical protein functions. The difficulty of capturing and analyzing the relatively small fraction of modified proteins complicates identification of the protein targets of lipid electrophiles. We recently synthesized a biotin-modified linoleoylglycerylphosphatidylcholine probe called PLPBSO ( Tallman et al. Chem. Res. Toxicol. 2007, 20, 227-234 ), which forms typical linoleate oxidation products and covalent adducts with model peptides and proteins. Supplementation of human plasma with PLPBSO followed by free radical oxidation resulted in covalent adduction of PLPBSO to plasma proteins, which were isolated with streptavidin and identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). Among the most highly modified proteins was apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), which is the core component of high density lipoprotein (HDL). ApoA1 phospholipid adduct sites were mapped by LC-MS-MS of tryptic peptides following mild base hydrolysis to release esterified phospholipid adducts. Several carboxylated adducts formed from phospholipid-esterified 9,12-dioxo-10( E)-dodecenoic acid (KODA), 9-hydroxy, 12-oxo-10( E)-dodecenoic acid (HODA), 7-oxoheptanoic acid, 8-oxooctanoic acid, and 9-oxononanoic acid were identified. Free radical oxidations of isolated HDL also generated adducts with 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and other noncarboxylated electrophiles, but these were only sporadically identified in the PLPBSO-adducted ApoA1, suggesting a low stoichiometry of modification in the phospholipid-adducted protein. Both phospholipid electrophiles and HNE adducted His162, which resides in an ApoA1 domain involved in the activation of Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase and maturation of the HDL particle. ApoA1 lipid electrophile adducts may affect protein functions and provide useful biomarkers for oxidative stress.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The cytoplasmic hepatocyte inclusions, Mallory-Denk bodies (MDBs), are characteristic of several liver disorders, including alcoholic and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. In mice, MDBs can be induced by long-term feeding with 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC) for 3 to 4 months or rapidly reformed in DDC-induced then recovered mice by DDC refeeding or exposure to a wide range of toxins for only 5 to 7 days. The molecular basis for such a rapid reinduction of MDBs is unknown. We hypothesized that protein changes retained after DDC priming contribute to the rapid MDB reappearance and associate with MDB formation in general terms. Two-dimensional differential-in-gel-electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry were used to characterize protein changes in livers from the various treatment groups. The alterations were assessed by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and confirmed by immunoblotting. DDC treatment led to pronounced charged isoform changes in several chaperone families, including Hsp25, 60, 70, GRP58, GRP75, and GRP78, which lasted at least for 1 month after discontinuation of DDC feeding, whereas changes in other proteins normalized during recovery. DDC feeding also resulted in altered expression of Hsp72, GRP75, and Hsp25 and in functional impairment of Hsp60 and Hsp70 as determined using a protein complex formation and release assay. The priming toward rapid MDB reinduction lasts for at least 3 months after DDC discontinuation, but becomes weaker after prolonged recovery. MDB reinduction parallels the rapid increase in p62 and Hsp25 levels as well as keratin 8 cross-linking that is normally associated with MDB formation. CONCLUSION Persistent posttranslational modifications in chaperone proteins, coupled with protein cross-linking and altered chaperone expression and function likely contribute to the "toxic memory" of DDC-primed mice. We hypothesize that similar changes are important contributors to inclusion body formation in several diseases.

Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the proteomic alteration of hepatic mitochondria during sepsis and to explore the possible effects induced by heat shock treatment. Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture in Sprague-Dawley rats. Liver mitochondrial proteins were isolated and evaluated by 2-dimensional electrophoresis with broad pH-ranged (pH 3 - 10) immobile DryStrip and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein spots were visualized with silver stain and analyzed by Bio-2D software. Results showed that around 120 dominant spots could be separated and visualized distinctly by 2-dimensional electrophoresis analysis. Among them, three spots with the same molecular weight (56.4 kd), mitochondrial protein 1 (MP1), MP2, and MP3, were significantly altered in septic specimens. When analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, the three spots all revealed to be an identical enzyme: aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2, EC 1.2.1.3). During sepsis, MP1 and MP2 were downregulated, whereas MP3 was upregulated concomitantly. Interestingly, heat shock treatment could reverse this phenomenon. Phosphoprotein staining showed that the degree of phosphorylation is higher in MP1 and MP2 than that in MP3. The enzyme activity assay showed that ALDH2 activity was downregulated in nonheated septic rats of 18 h after cecal ligation and puncture operation, and preserved in heated septic rats. The results of this study suggest that posttranslation modification, highly possible the phosphorylation, in ALDH2 may play a functional role in the pathogenesis of sepsis and provide a novel protective mechanism of heat shock treatment.

Abstract
Stress response pathways allow cells to sense and respond to environmental changes and adverse pathophysiological states. Pharmacological modulation of cellular stress pathways has implications in the treatment of human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The quinone methide triterpene celastrol, derived from a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, has numerous pharmacological properties, and it is a potent activator of the mammalian heat shock transcription factor HSF1. However, its mode of action and spectrum of cellular targets are poorly understood. We show here that celastrol activates Hsf1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae at a similar effective concentration seen in mammalian cells. Transcriptional profiling revealed that celastrol treatment induces a battery of oxidant defense genes in addition to heat shock genes. Celastrol activated the yeast Yap1 oxidant defense transcription factor via the carboxy-terminal redox center that responds to electrophilic compounds. Antioxidant response genes were likewise induced in mammalian cells, demonstrating that the activation of two major cell stress pathways by celastrol is conserved. We report that celastrol's biological effects, including inhibition of glucocorticoid receptor activity, can be blocked by the addition of excess free thiol, suggesting a chemical mechanism for biological activity based on modification of key reactive thiols by this natural product.

Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are primary targets of free radical damage during oxidative stress. Diffusible electrophilic alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, such as 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), have been shown to modify proteins that mediate cell signaling (e.g., IKK and Keap1) and alter gene expression pathways responsible for inducing antioxidant genes, heat shock proteins, and the DNA damage response. To fully understand cellular responses to HNE, it is important to determine its protein targets in an unbiased fashion. This requires a strategy for detecting and isolating HNE-modified proteins regardless of the nature of the chemical linkage between HNE and its targets. Azido or alkynyl derivatives of HNE were synthesized and demonstrated to be equivalent to HNE in their ability to induce heme oxygenase induction and induce apoptosis in colon cancer (RKO) cells. Cells exposed to the tagged HNE derivatives were lysed and exposed to reagents to effect Staudinger ligation or copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition reaction (click chemistry) to conjugate HNE-adducted proteins with biotin for subsequent affinity purification. Both strategies yielded efficient biotinylation of tagged HNE-protein conjugates, but click chemistry was found to be superior for the recovery of biotinylated proteins from streptavidin-coated beads. Biotinylated proteins were detected in lysates from RKO cell incubations with azido-HNE at concentrations as low as 1 microM. These proteins were affinity purified with streptavidin beads, and proteomic analysis was performed by linear ion trap mass spectrometry. Proteomic analysis revealed a dose-dependent increase in labeled proteins with increased sequence coverage at higher concentrations. Several proteins involved in stress signaling (heat shock proteins 70 and 90 and the 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein) were selectively adducted by azido- and alkynyl-HNE. The use of azido and alkynyl derivatives in conjunction with click chemistry appears to be a valuable approach for the identification of the protein targets of HNE.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown that 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) induces Fas-mediated apoptosis in HLE B-3 cells through a pathway which is independent of FasL, FADD, procaspase 8, and DISC (Li, J., et al. (2006) Biochemistry 45, 12253-12264). The involvement of Daxx has also been suggested in this pathway, but its role is not clear. Here, we report that Daxx plays an important regulatory role during 4-HNE-induced, Fas-mediated apoptosis in Jurkat cells. 4-HNE induces Fas-dependent apoptosis in procaspase 8-deficient Jurkat cells via the activation of ASK1, JNK, and caspase 3, and the apoptosis can be inhibited by masking Fas with the antagonistic anti-Fas antibodies. We demonstrate that 4-HNE exposure to Jurkat cells leads to the induction of both Fas and Daxx. 4-HNE binds to both Fas and Daxx and promotes the export of Daxx from the nucleus to the cytosol, where it binds to Fas and inhibits apoptosis. Depletion of Daxx results in an increase in the activation of ASK1, JNK, and caspase 3 along with exacerbation of 4-HNE-induced apoptosis, suggesting that Daxx inhibits apoptosis by binding to Fas. 4-HNE-induced translocation of Daxx is also accompanied by the activation of the transcription factor HSF1. The results of these studies are consistent with a model in which, by interacting with Fas, 4-HNE promotes proapoptotic signaling via ASK1, JNK, and caspase 3. In parallel, 4-HNE induces Daxx and promotes its export from the nucleus to the cytosol, where it interacts with Fas to self-limit the extent of apoptosis by inhibiting the downstream proapoptotic signaling. Cytoplasmic translocation of Daxx also results in up-regulation of HSF1-associated stress-responsive genes.

Abstract
It has been 60 years since the Millers first described the covalent binding of carcinogens to tissue proteins. Protein covalent binding was gradually overshadowed by the emergence of DNA adduct formation as the dominant paradigm in chemical carcinogenesis but re-emerged in the early 1970s as a critical mechanism of drug and chemical toxicity. Technology limitations hampered the characterization of protein adducts until the emergence of mass spectrometry-based proteomics in the late 1990s. The time since then has seen rapid progress in the characterization of the protein targets of electrophiles and the consequences of protein damage. Recent integration of novel affinity chemistries for electrophile probes, shotgun proteomics methods, and systems modeling tools has led to the identification of hundreds of protein targets of electrophiles in mammalian systems. The technology now exists to map the targets of damage to critical components of signaling pathways and metabolic networks and to understand mechanisms of damage at a systems level. The implementation of sensitive, specific analyses for protein adducts from both xenobiotic-derived and endogenous electrophiles offers a means to link protein damage to clinically relevant health effects of both chemical exposures and disease processes.

Abstract
Chronic ethanol consumption causes increased production of reactive oxygen species in hepatic mitochondria accompanied by elevations in products of lipid peroxidation such as 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). In the current study we investigated the effects of chronic ethanol consumption on a prominent protein-4-HNE adduct in liver mitochondria. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a liquid diet for 31 days in which ethanol constituted 36% of total calories. Immunoblot analyses of liver mitochondria from ethanol-fed and control animals, using an antibody to a 4-HNE-protein adduct, demonstrated elevated 4-HNE binding (+50%) to a mitochondrial protein of approximately 55 kDa due to chronic ethanol consumption. Analysis of this protein using AspN digestion and tandem mass spectrometry identified it as the mitochondrial form of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) synthase. Activity of the activated form of this enzyme was unchanged in livers from ethanol-fed animals, but the protein level was elevated by 36%, which suggests a compensatory mechanism to maintain constant levels of synthase activity in the mitochondrion in the face of continuous inactivation by 4-HNE. Treatment of isolated mitochondria with 4-HNE demonstrated that the enzyme activity decreased as a function of 4-HNE concentration and with time of exposure. This study demonstrates that ethanol consumption increases the formation of a 4-HNE adduct with mitochondrial HMG-CoA synthase, which has the potential to inactivate the enzyme in situ.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is a consequence of both normal physiology and oxidative stress that generates various reactive metabolites, a principal end product being 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE). As a diffusible electrophile, HNE reacts extensively with cellular nucleophiles. Consequently, HNE alters cellular signaling and activates the intrinsic apoptotic cascade. We have previously demonstrated that in addition to promoting apoptosis, HNE activates stress response pathways, including the antioxidant, endoplasmic reticulum stress, DNA damage, and heat shock responses. Here we demonstrate that activation of the heat shock response by HNE is dependent on the expression and nuclear translocation of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), which promotes the expression of heat shock protein 40 (Hsp40) and Hsp70-1. Ectopic expression and immunoprecipitation of c-Myc-tagged Hsp70-1 indicates that HNE disrupts the inhibitory interaction between Hsp70-1 and HSF1, leading to the activation heat shock gene expression. Using siRNA to silence HSF1 expression, we observe that HSF1 is necessary for the induction of Hsp40 and Hsp70-1 by HNE, and the lack of Hsp expression is correlated with an increase in apoptosis. Nrf2, the transcription factor that mediates the antioxidant response, was also silenced using siRNA. Silencing Nrf2 also enhanced the cytotoxicity of HNE, but not as effectively as HSF1. Silencing HSF1 expression facilitates the activation of JNK pro-apoptotic signaling and selectively decreases expression of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bcl-X(L). Overexpression of Bcl-X(L) attenuates HNE-mediated apoptosis in HSF1-silenced cells. Overall, activation of HSF1 and stabilization of Bcl-X(L) mediate a protective response that may contribute significantly to the cellular biology of lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
The smoke-borne electrophile acrolein reacts extensively with proteins, forming carbonyl-retaining Michael adducts that may be attacked by adjacent protein nucleophiles to form cross-links. Because little information is available concerning the extent of intermolecular protein cross-linking during acrolein toxicity in cells, we used an antibody against a known target for toxic carbonyls, the chaperone protein Hsp90, to detect the formation of high-mass protein complexes in acrolein-exposed A549 cells. A 3 h exposure to acrolein (0 to 200 microM) resulted in concentration-dependent formation of a single high-mass band (approx. 180 kDa). This species was detected in cells exposed to just 50 microM acrolein, a concentration that did not elicit acute cell death as assessed by measurements of cell ATP levels. The formation of cross-linked Hsp90 coincided with a rapid loss of carbonyl adducts within cells that had been subjected to a brief "pulse" exposure to a subtoxic concentration of acrolein, suggesting Michael adducts are short-lived within cells due in part to consumption during reactions with protein nucleophiles. Cross-linked Hsp90 persisted following an overnight recovery incubation, suggesting the cellular ability to repair or degrade these species is limited. Two known carbonyl scavengers, hydralazine and bisulfite, strongly protected against the ATP depletion accompanying acrolein exposure, but only the latter suppressed protein adduction and Hsp90 cross-linking. As previously shown for hydralazine, mass spectrometry studies using a model peptide indicated that bisulfite traps carbonyl groups possessed by Michael addition adducts, and such adduct-trapping reactivity appeared to contribute to the blockade of Hsp90 cross-linking in acrolein-preloaded cells. Collectively, these findings establish that formation of stable intermolecular protein cross-links accompanies exposure to acrolein. Future clarification of the chemistry underlying this damage may provide novel biomarkers of acrolein exposure.

Abstract
The modification of proteins by the cytotoxic, reactive aldehyde 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) is known to alter protein function and impair cellular mechanisms. In order to identify susceptible amino acid sites of HNE modification within complex biological mixtures by microcapillary liquid chromatography and linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometry, we have developed a solid-phase capture and release strategy that utilizes reversible hydrazide chemistry to enrich HNE-modified peptides. To maximize the detection of fragment ions diagnostic of HNE modification, both neutral loss-dependent acquisition of MS/MS/MS spectra and the pulsed Q dissociation operation mode were employed. When the solid-phase hydrazide enrichment strategy was applied to a yeast lysate treated with HNE, 125 distinct amino acid sites of HNE modification were mapped on 67 different proteins. The endogenous susceptibility of many of these proteins to HNE modification was demonstrated by analyzing HNE-treated yeast cell cultures with a complementary biotin hydrazide enrichment strategy. Further analysis revealed that the majority of amino acid sites susceptible to HNE modification were histidine residues, with most of these sites being flanked by basic amino acid residues, and predicted to be solvent exposed. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of this novel strategy as a general platform for proteome-scale identification of amino acid sites susceptible to HNE modification from within complex mixtures.

Abstract
We have recently shown that actin can be modified by the Michael addition of 4-hydroxynonenal to Cys374. Here, we have exposed purified actin at increasing acrolein concentrations and have identified the sites of acrolein addition using LC-ESI-MS/MS. Acrolein reacted with Cys374, His87, His173, and, minimally, His40. Cys374 adduction by both 4-hydroxynonenal and acrolein negligibly affected the polymerization of aldehyde-modified (carbonylated) actin, as shown by fluorescence measurements. Differently, acrolein binding at histidine residues, when Cys374 was completely saturated, inhibited polymerization in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular modeling analyses indicated that structural distortions of the ATP-binding site, induced by four acrolein-Michael adducts, could explain the changes in the polymerization process. Aldehyde binding to Cys374 does not alter significantly actin polymerization because this residue is located in a very flexible region, whose covalent modifications do not alter the protein folding. These data demonstrate that Cys374 represents the primary target site of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde addition to actin in vitro. As Cys374 is a preferential target for various oxidative/nitrosative modifications, and actin is one of the main carbonylated proteins in vivo, these findings also suggest that the highly reactive Cys374 could serve as a carbonyl scavenger of reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and other electrophilic lipids.

Abstract
Modulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK-1/2), a signaling pathway directly associated with cell proliferation, survival, and homeostasis, has been implicated in several pathologies, including alcoholic liver disease. However, the underlying mechanism of ethanol-induced ERK-1/2 modulation remains unknown. This investigation explored the effects of ethanol-associated oxidative stress on constitutive hepatic ERK-1/2 activity and assessed the contribution of the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) to the observations made in vivo. Constitutive ERK-1/2 phosphorylation was suppressed in hepatocytes isolated from rats chronically consuming ethanol for 45 days. This observation was associated with an increase in 4-HNE-ERK monomer adduct concentration and a hepatic cellular and lobular redistribution of ERK-1/2 that correlated with 4-HNE-protein adduct accumulation. Chronic ethanol consumption was also associated with a decrease in hepatocyte nuclear ELK-1 phosphorylation, independent of changes in total nuclear ELK-1 protein. Primary hepatocytes treated with concentrations of 4-HNE consistent with those occurring during oxidative stress displayed a concentration-dependent decrease in constitutive ERK-1/2 phosphorylation, activity, and nuclear localization that negatively correlated with 4-HNE-ERK-1/2 monomer adduct accumulation. These data paralleled the decreased phosphorylation of the downstream kinase ELK-1. Molar ratios of purified ERK-2 to 4-HNE consistent with pathologic ratios found in vivo resulted in protein monomer-adduct formation across a range of concentrations. Collectively, these data demonstrate a novel association between ethanol-induced lipid peroxidation and the inhibition of constitutive ERK-1/2, and suggest an inhibitory mechanism mediated by the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal.

Abstract
Obesity is a state of mild inflammation correlated with increased oxidative stress. In general, pro-oxidative conditions lead to production of reactive aldehydes such as trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) and trans-4-oxo-2-nonenal implicated in the development of a variety of metabolic diseases. To investigate protein modification by 4-HNE as a consequence of obesity and its potential relationship to the development of insulin resistance, proteomics technologies were utilized to identify aldehyde-modified proteins in adipose tissue. Adipose proteins from lean insulin-sensitive and obese insulin-resistant C57Bl/6J mice were incubated with biotin hydrazide and detected using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin. High carbohydrate, high fat feeding of mice resulted in a approximately 2-3-fold increase in total adipose protein carbonylation. Consistent with an increase in oxidative stress in obesity, the abundance of glutathione S-transferase A4 (GSTA4), a key enzyme responsible for metabolizing 4-HNE, was decreased approximately 3-4-fold in adipose tissue of obese mice. To identify specific carbonylated proteins, biotin hydrazide-modified adipose proteins from obese mice were captured using avidin-Sepharose affinity chromatography, proteolytically digested, and subjected to LC-ESI MS/MS. Interestingly enzymes involved in cellular stress response, lipotoxicity, and insulin signaling such as glutathione S-transferase M1, peroxiredoxin 1, glutathione peroxidase 1, eukaryotic elongation factor 1alpha-1 (eEF1alpha1), and filamin A were identified. The adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein, a protein implicated in the regulation of insulin resistance, was found to be carbonylated in vivo with 4-HNE. In vitro modification of adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein with 4-HNE was mapped to Cys-117, occurred equivalently using either the R or S enantiomer of 4-HNE, and reduced the affinity of the protein for fatty acids approximately 10-fold. These results indicate that obesity is accompanied by an increase in the carbonylation of a number of adipose-regulatory proteins that may serve as a mechanistic link between increased oxidative stress and the development of insulin resistance.

Abstract
Protein carbonylation induced by reactive carbonyl species (RCS) generated by peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids plays a significant role in the etiology and/or progression of several human diseases, such as cardiovascular (e.g., atherosclerosis, long-term complications of diabetes) and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral ischemia). Most of the biological effects of intermediate RCS, mainly alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, di-aldehydes, and keto-aldehydes, are due to their capacity to react with the nucleophilic sites of proteins, forming advanced lipoxidation end-products (ALEs). Because of the emerging deleterious role of RCS/protein adducts in several human diseases, different potential therapeutic strategies have been developed in the last few years. This review sheds focus on fundamental studies on lipid-derived RCS generation, their biological effects, and their reactivity with proteins, with particular emphasis to 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE)-, acrolein (ACR)-, malondialdehyde (MDA)-, and glyoxal (GO)-modified proteins. It also discusses the recently developed pharmacological approaches for the management of chronic diseases in which oxidative stress and RCS formation are massively involved. Inhibition of ALE formation, based on carbonyl-sequestering agents, seems to be the most promising pharmacological tool and is reviewed in detail.

4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) is a major lipid peroxidation (LPO) product formed during oxidative stress. 4-HNE is highly reactive toward cellular nucleophiles and is implicated in the evolution of numerous pathologies associated with oxidative stress and LPO. Recent evidence suggests that chronic prooxidant exposure results in the loss of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk)-1/2 phosphorylation in vivo, a signaling pathway associated with cellular proliferation, survival, and homeostasis. Immunodetection and molecular analysis were used in this study to evaluate the hypothesis that 4-HNE modification of Erk-1/2 inhibits constitutive Erk-Est-like protein (Elk)-1-activating protein (AP)-1 signaling. Primary rat hepatocytes treated with subcytotoxic, pathologically relevant concentrations of 4-HNE demonstrated a concentration-dependent loss of constitutive Erk-1/2 phosphorylation, activity, and nuclear localization. These findings were consistent with iron-induced intracellular LPO, which also resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in hepatocyte Erk-1/2 phosphorylation and activity. 4-HNE and iron-induced inhibition of Erk-1/2 was inversely correlated with the accumulation of 4-HNE-Erk-1/2 monomer adducts. 4-HNE treatment of hepatocytes decreased nuclear total and phosphorylated Erk-1/2, Elk-1, and AP-1 phosphorylation as well as cFos and cJun activities. The cytosolic modification of unphosphorylated Erk-1/2 was evaluated in vitro using molar ratios of inactive Erk-2 to 4-HNE consistent with increasing oxidative stress in vivo. Liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry confirmed monomer adduct formation and identified the major adduct species at the histidine 178 residue within the kinase phosphorylation lip. These novel results show that the formation of 4-HNE-Erk-1/2 monomer-adducts results in the inhibition of Erk-Elk-AP-1 signaling in hepatocytes and implicates the His 178 residue with the mechanism of inhibition.

Abstract
Free radicals, electrophiles, and endogenous reactive intermediates are generated during normal physiological processes and are capable of modifying DNA, lipids, and proteins. However, elevated levels of oxidative modifications of proteins by reactive species are implicated in the etiology and pathology of oxidative stress-mediated diseases, neurodegeneration, and aging. A mass spectrometry-based approach is reported that aids to the identification and characterization of carbonyl-modified proteins. The method uses N'-aminooxymethylcarbonylhydrazino d-biotin, a biotinylated hydroxylamine derivative that forms an oxime derivative with the aldehyde/keto group found in oxidatively modified proteins. In this paper, the method is demonstrated for one class of carbonyl-modified proteins, namely, oxylipid peptide and protein conjugates formed by Michael addition-type conjugation reactions of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydic lipid peroxidation products with nucleophilic peptide side chains. This new application of an "old" probe, which has been used for the detection of abasic sites in DNA strands, introduces a biotin moiety into the oxylipid peptide conjugate. The biotin-modified oxylipid peptide conjugate is then amenable to enrichment using avidin affinity capture. The described method represents an attractive alternative to hydrazine-based derivatization methods for oxidized peptides and proteins because the reduction step necessary for the transformation of the hydrazone bond to the chemically more stable hydrazine bond can be omitted. Tandem mass spectrometry of the labeled oxylipid peptide conjugates indicates that the biotin moiety is at least partially retained on the fragment ion during the collisionally induced dissociation experiments, a prerequisite for the use of automated database searching of uninterpreted tandem mass spectra. The reported approach is outlined for the detection, identification, and characterization of oxylipid peptide conjugates, but the labeling chemistry may also be applicable to other carbonyl-modified proteins.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is a cellular process that takes place under physiological conditions and particularly after oxidative stress. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a major end product of lipid peroxidation, is known to exert a multitude of biological effects and has high reactivity to various cellular components, including DNA and protein. The thioredoxin system, composed of the selenoenzyme thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), thioredoxin (Trx), and NADPH, plays a key role in redox regulation and is involved in many signaling pathways. The selenocysteine (Sec) and cysteine (Cys) residues (Cys-496/Sec-497) in the active site of TrxR and a pair of Cys residues (Cys-32/Cys-35) in Trx are sensitive to various alkylating reagents. Herein, we report a mechanistic study on the inhibition of rat TrxR by HNE. The inhibition occurs with TrxR only in its reduced form and persists after removal of HNE. Inhibition of TrxR by HNE added to cultured HeLa cells is also observed. In addition, HNE inactivates reduced Escherichia coli Trx irreversibly. We proved that the redox residues (Cys-496/Sec-497 in TrxR and Cys-32/Cys-35 in Trx) were primary targets for HNE modification. The covalent adducts formed between HNE and Trx were also confirmed by mass spectrum. Because the thioredoxin system is one of the core regulation enzymes of cells' function, inhibition of both TrxR and Trx by HNE provides a possibly novel mechanism for explanation of its cytotoxic effect and signaling activity, as well as the further damage indirectly caused under oxidative stress conditions.

Abstract
Hydralazine strongly suppresses the toxicity of acrolein, a reactive aldehyde that contributes to numerous health disorders. At least two mechanisms may underlie the cytoprotection, both of which involve the nucleophilic hydrazine possessed by hydralazine. Under the simplest scenario, hydralazine directly scavenges free acrolein, decreasing intracellular acrolein availability and thereby suppressing macromolecular adduction. In a second "adduct-trapping" mechanism, the drug forms hydrazones with acrolein-derived Michael adducts in cell proteins, preventing secondary reactions of adducted proteins that may trigger cell death. To identify the most important mechanism, we explored these two pathways in mouse hepatocytes poisoned with the acrolein precursor allyl alcohol. Intense concentration-dependent adduct-trapping in cell proteins accompanied the suppression of toxicity by hydralazine. However, protective concentrations of hydralazine did not alter extracellular free acrolein levels, cellular glutathione loss, or protein carbonylation, suggesting that the cytoprotection is not due to minimization of intracellular acrolein availability. To explore ways whereby adduct-trapping might confer cytoprotection, the effect of hydralazine on acrolein-induced protein cross-linking was examined. Using bovine pancreas ribonuclease A as a model protein, acrolein caused rapid time- and concentration-dependent cross-linking, with dimerized protein detectable within 45 min of commencing protein modification. Lysine adduction in monomeric protein preceded the appearance of oligomers, whereas reductive methylation of protein amine groups abolished both adduction and oligomerization. Hydralazine inhibited cross-linking if added 30 min after commencing acrolein exposure but was ineffective if added after a 90-min delay. Adduct-trapping closely accompanied the inhibition of cross-linking by hydralazine. These findings suggest that cross-link blocking may contribute to hydralazine cytoprotection.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation during oxidative stress leads to increased concentrations of thiol-reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde, including 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) and 4-oxo-2-nonenal (4-ONE). These aldehydes have a documented ability to disrupt protein function following adduct formation with specific residues. Therefore, to identify 4-HNE-modified proteins in a model of ethanol-induced oxidative stress, a proteomic approach was applied to liver fractions prepared from rats fed a combination high-fat/ethanol diet. The results revealed that essential 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) was consistently modified by 4-HNE in the alcohol-treated animals. In vitro chaperoning experiments using firefly luciferase as a client protein were then performed to assess the functional effect of 4-HNE modification on purified recombinant human Hsp90, modified with concentrations of this aldehyde ranging from 23 to 450 microM. Modification of Hsp90 with 4-ONE also led to significant inhibition of the chaperone. Because 4-HNE and 4-ONE react selectively with Cys, a thiol-specific mechanism of inhibition was suggested by these data. Therefore, thiol sensitivity was confirmed following treatment of Hsp90 with the specific thiol modifier N-ethylmaleimide, which resulted in more than 99% inactivation of the chaperone by concentrations as low as 6 microM (1:1 M ratio). Finally, tryptic digest of 4-HNE-modified Hsp90 followed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry peptide analysis identified Cys 572 as a site for 4-HNE modification. The results presented here thus establish that 4-HNE consistently modifies Hsp90 in a rat model of alcohol-induced oxidative stress and that the chaperoning activity of this protein is subject to dysregulation through thiol modification.
