Abstract
There is considerable interest in the role that mammalian heme peroxidase enzymes, primarily myeloperoxidase, eosinophil peroxidase and lactoperoxidase, may play in a wide range of human pathologies. This has been sparked by rapid developments in our understanding of the basic biochemistry of these enzymes, a greater understanding of the basic chemistry and biochemistry of the oxidants formed by these species, the development of biomarkers that can be used damage induced by these oxidants in vivo, and the recent identification of a number of compounds that show promise as inhibitors of these enzymes. Such compounds offer the possibility of modulating damage in a number of human pathologies. This reviews recent developments in our understanding of the biochemistry of myeloperoxidase, the oxidants that this enzyme generates, and the use of inhibitors to inhibit such damage.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are constantly produced and are tightly regulated to maintain a redox balance (or homeostasis) together with antioxidants (e.g. superoxide dismutase and glutathione) under normal physiological circumstances. These ROS/RNS have been shown to be critical for various biological events including signal transduction, aging, apoptosis, and development. Despite the known beneficial effects, an overproduction of ROS/RNS in the cases of receptor-mediated stimulation and disease-induced oxidative stress can inflict severe tissue damage. In particular, these ROS/RNS are capable of degrading macromolecules including proteins, lipids and nucleic acids as well as polysaccharides, and presumably lead to their dysfunction. The purpose of this review is to highlight (1) chemical mechanisms related to cell-free and cell-based depolymerization of polysaccharides initiated by individual oxidative species; (2) the effect of ROS/RNS-mediated depolymerization on the successive cleavage of the glycosidic linkage of polysaccharides by glycoside hydrolases; and (3) the potential biological outcome of ROS/RNS-mediated depolymerization of polysaccharides.

Abstract
In the vasculature, reactive oxidant species, including reactive oxygen, nitrogen, or halogenating species, and thiyl, tyrosyl, or protein radicals may oxidatively modify lipids and proteins with deleterious consequences for vascular function. These biologically active free radical and nonradical species may be produced by increased activation of oxidant-generating sources and/or decreased cellular antioxidant capacity. Once formed, these species may engage in reactions to yield more potent oxidants that promote transition of the homeostatic vascular phenotype to a pathobiological state that is permissive for atherothrombogenesis. This dysfunctional vasculature is characterized by lipid peroxidation and aberrant lipid deposition, inflammation, immune cell activation, platelet activation, thrombus formation, and disturbed hemodynamic flow. Each of these pathobiological states is associated with an increase in the vascular burden of free radical species-derived oxidation products and, thereby, implicates increased oxidant stress in the pathogenesis of atherothrombotic vascular disease.

Abstract
MPO (myeloperoxidase) catalyses the oxidation of chloride, bromide and thiocyanate to their respective hypohalous acids. We have investigated the generation of HOBr by human neutrophils in the presence of physiological concentrations of chloride and bromide. HOBr was trapped with taurine and detected by monitoring the bromination of 4-HPAA (4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid). With 100 microM bromide and 140 mM chloride, neutrophils generated HOBr and it accounted for approx. 13% of the hypohalous acids they produced. Addition of SOD (superoxide dismutase) doubled the amount of HOBr detected. Therefore we investigated the reaction of superoxide radicals with a range of bromamines and bromamides and found that superoxide radicals stimulated the decomposition of these species, with this occurring in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The protection afforded by SOD against such decay demonstrates that these processes are superoxide-radical-dependent. These data are consistent with neutrophils generating HOBr at sites of infection and inflammation. Both HOBr and bromamines/bromamides have the potential to react with superoxide radicals to form additional radicals that may contribute to inflammatory tissue damage.

Abstract
The extracellular compartments of most biological tissues are significantly less well protected against oxidative damage than intracellular sites and there is considerable evidence for such compartments being subject to a greater oxidative stress and an altered redox balance. However, with some notable exceptions (e.g., plasma and lung lining fluid) oxidative damage within these compartments has been relatively neglected and is poorly understood. In particular information on the nature and consequences of damage to extracellular matrix is lacking despite the growing realization that changes in matrix structure can play a key role in the regulation of cellular adhesion, proliferation, migration, and cell signaling. Furthermore, the extracellular matrix is widely recognized as being a key site of cytokine and growth factor binding, and modification of matrix structure might be expected to alter such behavior. In this paper we review the potential sources of oxidative matrix damage, the changes that occur in matrix structure, and how this may affect cellular behavior. The role of such damage in the development and progression of inflammatory diseases is discussed.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a conspicuous enzyme in neutrophils of many fish species. Although the MPO gene has been identified in some fish species, the structure and functions of the protein remain to be determined in these vertebrates. In the present study, we isolated turbot neutrophil MPO from kidney cells by affinity chromatography, with Ulva rigida acidic sulphated polysaccharides (ASP), some of which resemble glycosaminoglycans, and Sepharose. The product obtained, of approximately 150kDa molecular weight and with peroxidase activity, was examined by SDS-page electrophoresis under reduced conditions and immunoblotting, and a single band of about 75kDa was observed. The results obtained suggest that turbot MPO is a dimer and that the band of 75kDa probably corresponds to a monomer generated by treatment of the samples with the reducing agent. The band was analysed by electromatrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-ion trap mass spectrometry, dynamic exclusion mode (LC-ESI-IT DE), to determine the amino acid composition of some peptides. The peptides obtained were very similar to myeloperoxidases of other organisms, including other fish and mammals, and were used to design the primers for cDNA amplification. A 567bp product was amplified and the deduced amino acid sequence, which contains several putative N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation sites, was compared with other myeloperoxidases. As expected, turbot MPO was more similar to MPO from other fish species (67-86% identity), where the phylogenetic tree obtained agrees with the taxonomic hierarchy, than to MPO from mammals (55-57% identity) and other groups. The results obtained in the present study will also allow functional studies to be carried out with turbot neutrophil MPO enzyme, as well as analysis of MPO gene expression under different stimuli.

Abstract
Hyaluronan is being used increasingly as a component of artificial matrices and in bioengineering for tissue scaffolding. The length of hyaluronan polymer chains is now recognized as informational, involving a wide variety of size-specific functions. Inadvertent scission of hyaluronan can occur during the process of preparation. On the other hand, certain size-specific hyaluronan fragments may be desirable, endowing the finished bioengineered product with specific properties. In this review, the vast arrays of reactions that cause scission of hyaluronan polymers is presented, including those on an enzymatic, free radical, and chemical basis.

Abstract
The oxidant peroxynitrite/peroxynitrous acid (ONOO-/ONOOH) is generated at sites of inflammation via reaction of O2.- with .NO. Previous studies have shown that these species can oxidize cellular targets, but few data are available on damage to extracellular matrix and its components, despite evidence for matrix modification in a number of pathologies. In the current study we show that reaction of ONOO-/ONOOH with glycosaminoglycans results in extensive polymer fragmentation. Bolus authentic ONOO-/ONOOH modifies hyaluronan, heparin, and chondroitin, dermatan, and heparan sulfates, in a concentration-dependent, but O2-independent, manner. The ONOO-/ONOOH generator 3-(4-morpholinyl)sydnoneimine produces similar time- and concentration-dependent damage. These reactions generate specific polymer fragments via cleavage at disaccharide intervals. Studies at different pH values, and in the presence of bicarbonate, are consistent with ONOOH, rather than the carbonate adduct, CO3.- or ONOO-, being the source of damage. EPR spin trapping experiments have provided evidence for the formation of carbon-centered radicals on glycosaminoglycans and related monosaccharides; the similarity of these spectra to those obtained with authentic HO. is consistent with fragmentation being induced by this oxidant. These data suggest that extracellular matrix fragmentation at sites of inflammation may be due, in part, to the formation and reactions of ONOOH.

Abstract
Numerous crosslinking chemistries and methodologies have been investigated as alternative fixatives to glutaraldehyde (GLUT) for the stabilization of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs). Particular attention has been paid to valve leaflet collagen and elastin stability following fixation. However, the stability of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the primary component of the spongiosa layer of the BHV, has been largely overlooked despite recent evidence provided by our group illustrating their structural and functional importance. In the present study we investigate the ability of two different crosslinking chemistries: sodium metaperiodate (NaIO(4)) followed by GLUT (PG) and 1-Ethyl-3-(3 dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) followed by GLUT (ENG) to stabilize GAGs within BHV leaflets and compare resulting leaflet characteristics with that of GLUT-treated tissue. Incubation of fixed leaflets in GAG-degrading enzymes illustrated in vitro resistance of GAGs towards degradation in PG and ENG treated tissue while GLUT fixation alone was not effective in preventing GAG loss from BHV leaflets. Following subdermal implantation, significant amounts of GAGs were retained in leaflets in the ENG group in comparison to GLUT-treated tissue, although GAG loss was evident in all groups. Utilizing GAG-targeted fixation did not alter calcification potential of the leaflets while collagen stability was maintained at levels similar to that observed in conventional GLUT-treated tissue.

Abstract
At sites of chronic inflammation, such as in the inflamed rheumatoid joint, activated neutrophils release hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and the enzyme myeloperoxidase to catalyse the formation of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). 3-chlorotyrosine, a marker of HOCl in vivo, has been observed in synovial fluid proteins from rheumatoid arthritis patients. However the mechanisms of HOCl-induced cytotxicity are unknown. We determined the molecular mechanisms by which HOCl induced cell death in human mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) differentiated into a chondrocytic phenotype as a model of human cartilage cells and show that HOCl induced rapid Bax conformational change, mitochondrial permeability and release of intra-mitochondrial pro-apoptotic proteins which resulted in nuclear translocation of AIF and EndoG. siRNA-mediated knockdown of Bax substantially prevented mitochondrial permeability, release of intra-mitochondrial pro-apoptotic proteins. Cell death was inhibited by siRNA-mediated knockdown of Bax, AIF or EndoG. Although we observed several biochemical markers of apoptosis, caspase activation was not detected either by western blotting, fluorescence activity assays or by using caspase inhibitors to inhibit cell death. This was further supported by findings that (1) in vitro exposure of recombinant human caspases to HOCl caused significant inhibition of caspase activity and (2) the addition of HOCl to staurosporine-treated MPCs inhibited the activity of cellular caspases. Our results show for the first time that HOCl induced Bax-dependent mitochondrial permeability which led to cell death without caspase activity by processes involving AIF/EndoG-dependent pathways. Our study provides a novel insight into the potential mechanisms of cell death in the inflamed human joint.

Abstract
Many human diseases are associated with harmful action of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These species are involved in the degradation of essential tissue or related components. One of such components is synovial fluid that contains a high-molecular-weight polymer--hyaluronan (HA). Uninhibited and/or inhibited hyaluronan degradation by the action of various ROS has been studied in many in vitro models. In these studies, the change of the molecular weight of HA or a related parameter, such as HA solution viscosity, has been used as a marker of inflicted damage. The aim of the presented review is to briefly summarize the available data. Their correct interpretation could contribute to the implementation of modern methods of evaluation of the antioxidative capacity of natural and synthetic substances and prospective drugs--potential inflammatory disease modifying agents. Another focus of this review is to evaluate briefly the impact of different available analytical techniques currently used to investigate the structure of native high-molecular-weight hyaluronan and/or of its fragments.

Abstract
The reactions of the carbonate and dichloride radical anions, CO3- and Cl2-, with the extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) have been studied using the kinetic technique of pulse radiolysis and also by steady-state irradiation combined with gel permeation chromatography/multiangle laser light scattering(gpc/MALLS) to measure the rates of reaction with HA and the yield of HA chain scission, respectively. For comparison, the same measurements were made for the reactions of the free radicals *OH, Br2*-, and N3*. The carbonate and dichloride radical anions were found to react relatively quickly with HA (7.0 x 10(5) and 6.9 x 10(6) dm3 mol(-1) s(-1), respectively) although they are much less reactive than the hydroxyl radical, *OH. Significant yields (20 and 38%, respectively) of chain scission of HA by these radical anions were also determined from the gpc/MALLS experiments, providing some support for their potential participation in the depolymerization of HA in vivo. These results are compared with data obtained for the other free radicals (hydroxyl, azide radicals, and dibromide radical anions) investigated in this study in order to gain an insight into their mechanism of reaction with HA. Earlier chain scission yields of HA by hydroxyl radicals determined by the authors have also been revised using the gpc/MALLS technique employed in the current study. The yields of 52% (absence of air) and 44% (in air) are much lower than the previous values. In the current study, the effect of oxygen on the yields of HA chain breaks is discussed in terms of the reactivity of HA peroxyl radicals in the presence of superoxide radical anions. The relevance of the results of this study to mechanisms of inflammation is discussed.

Abstract
Activated phagocytes release the haem enzyme MPO (myeloperoxidase) and produce superoxide radicals and H2O2 via an oxidative burst. MPO uses H2O2 and Cl- to form HOCl, the physiological mixture of hypochlorous acid and its anion present at pH 7.4. As MPO binds to glycosaminoglycans, oxidation of extracellular matrix and cell surfaces by HOCl may be localized to these materials. However, the reactions of HOCl with glycosaminoglycans are poorly characterized. The GlcNAc (N-acetylglucosamine), GlcNSO3 (glucosamine-N-sulphate) and GlcNH2 [(N-unsubstituted) glucosamine] residues of heparan sulphate are potential targets for HOCl. It is shown here that HOCl reacts with each of these residues to generate N-chloro derivatives, and the absolute rate constants for these reactions have been determined. Reaction at GlcNH2 residues yields chloramines and, subsequently, dichloramines with markedly slower rates, k2 approximately 3.1x10(5) and 9 M(-1) x s(-1) (at 37 degrees C) respectively. Reaction at GlcNSO3 and GlcNAc residues yields N-chlorosulphonamides and chloramides with k2 approximately 0.05 and 0.01 M(-1) x s(-1) (at 37 degrees C) respectively. The corresponding monosaccharides display a similar pattern of reactivity. Decay of the polymer-derived chloramines, N-chlorosulphonamides and chloramides is slow at 37 degrees C and does not result in major structural changes. In contrast, dichloramine decay is rapid at 37 degrees C and results in fragmentation of the polymer backbone. Computational modelling of the reaction of HOCl with heparan sulphate proteoglycans (glypican-1 and perlecan) predicts that the GlcNH2 residues of heparan sulphate are major sites of attack. These results suggest that HOCl may be an important mediator of damage to glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans at inflammatory foci.

Modification of the content of plasma protein carbonyl groups in donors after granulocyte colony stimulating factor-induced stem cell mobilization. Transfus Apher Sci 2005; 33:141-6. [PMID: 16103013 DOI: 10.1016/j.transci.2005.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2005] [Revised: 05/30/2005] [Accepted: 05/31/2005] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), the most established agent for the mobilization of stem cells in current clinical practice, could induce a condition of oxidative stress. Herein plasmatic levels of protein carbonyl groups (a biomarker of oxidative stress) were measured in a group of donors given recombinant human G-CSF (rHuG-CSF) at different times: (1) before starting rHuG-CSF administration, (2) on day 5 of rHuG-CSF administration, (3) on the same day immediately after the end of the first leukapheresis procedure and (4) one week after rHuG-CSF withdrawal. Plasma levels of protein carbonyl groups enhanced significantly in donors after 5 days of rHuG-CSF treatment and appeared further slightly increased following leukapheresis procedure; 7 days following rHuG-CSF withdrawal, they showed a tendency to normalization. These findings may contribute to better understand the oxidative reactions following rHuG-CSF treatment and leukapheresis.

Abstract
Oxygen metabolism has an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in the course of cellular oxidative phosphorylation, and by activated phagocytic cells during oxidative bursts, exceed the physiological buffering capacity and result in oxidative stress. The excessive production of ROS can damage protein, lipids, nucleic acids, and matrix components. They also serve as important intracellular signaling molecules that amplify the synovial inflammatory-proliferative response. Repetitive cycles of hypoxia and reoxygenation associated with changes in synovial perfusion are postulated to activate hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha and nuclear factor-kappaB, two key transcription factors that are regulated by changes in cellular oxygenation and cytokine stimulation, and that in turn orchestrate the expression of a spectrum of genes critical to the persistence of synovitis. An understanding of the complex interactions involved in these pathways might allow the development of novel therapeutic strategies for rheumatoid arthritis.
