Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is increasingly being recognized as an important factor in many inflammatory diseases, particularly cardiovascular and neurological diseases. MPO-specific imaging agents would thus be highly useful to diagnose early disease, monitor disease progression, and quantify treatment effects. This study reports in vitro and in vivo characterizations of the mechanism of interaction between MPO and paramagnetic enzyme substrates based on physical and biological measurements. We show that these agents are activated through a radical mechanism, which can combine to form oligomers and, in the presence of tyrosine-containing peptide, bind to proteins. We further identified two new imaging agents, which represent the near extremes in either oligomerization (mono-5HT-DTPA-Gd) or protein-binding in their activation mechanism (bis-o-dianisidine-DTPA-Gd). On the other hand, we found that the agent bis-5HT-DTPA-Gd utilizes both mechanisms when activated. These properties yield distinct in vivo pharmacokinetics profiles for each of these agents that may be exploited for different applications. Specificity studies show that only MPO, but not eosinophil peroxidase, can highly activate these agents, and that MPO activity as low as 0.005 U/mg of tissue can be detected. Gd kinetic lability and cytotoxicity studies further confirm stability of the Gd ion and low toxicity for the 5HT-based agents, suggesting that these agents are suitable for translational in vivo studies.

Abstract
Oxidative stress during reperfusion of ischemia is associated with a phenotypic change in circulating monocytes from CD14++CD16- to a proinflammatory CD14+CD16+ subpopulation resulting in altered immunity and development of organ failure. However, the mechanism responsible remains unknown. We hypothesize that this phenotypic change, modeled by hydrogen peroxide exposure in vitro, is due to oxidative-induced intracellular calcium flux and distinct cytoskeletal and lipid raft changes. Peripheral blood monocytes obtained from healthy volunteers underwent 100 mM H2O2 exposure for 0 to 24 h. Selected cells were pretreated with 2 microM cytochalasin D, 1 microM lactrunculin A, or 30 microM 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid for 30 min. Cells underwent fluorescence-activated cell sorter for CD14, CD16, and cytokine expression. Cellular and lipid raft CD16 expression was determined by immunoblot and confocal microscopy. H2O2 exposed monocytes underwent a rapid time-dependent increase in the surface expression of CD16 from 12.81% +/- 3.53% to 37.12% +/- 7.61% at 24 h (P = 0.001). Total cellular CD16 was not changed by H2O2, but an increase in lipid raft and decrease in intracellular CD16 expression were seen after H2O2 exposure. This increase in CD16 expression was associated with a 27% increase in intracellular TNF-alpha, an alteration in actin polymerization, and the formation of raft macrodomains. These changes induced by H2O2 were inhibited by inhibition of actin polymerization (cytochalasin D and lactrunculin A) and intracellular calcium flux [1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid]. This study provides the first evidence that phenotypic alterations induced by oxidative stress during reperfusion may occur as a result of changes in cytoskeletal architecture due to calcium flux that result in lipid raft alterations rather than solely from demargination and/or production of bone marrow-derived CD16+ monocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) represents a prime pathogenic factor of peri-implantitis because of its ability to adhere tenaciously to dental titanium implants. Despite this, the current therapeutic approach to this disease remains based mainly on bacterial decontamination, paying little attention to the neutralization of bioactive bacterial products. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether irradiation with low-energy neodymium-doped:yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, in addition to the effects on bacterial implant decontamination, was capable of attenuating the LPS-induced inflammatory response. METHODS RAW 264.7 macrophages or human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured on titanium disks coated with Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS, subjected or not to irradiation with the Nd:YAG laser, and examined for the production of inflammatory cytokines and the expression of morphologic and molecular markers of cell activation. RESULTS Laser irradiation of LPS-coated titanium disks significantly reduced LPS-induced nitric oxide production and cell activation by the macrophages and strongly attenuated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule expression, as well as interleukin-8 production by the endothelial cells. CONCLUSION By blunting the LPS-induced inflammatory response, Nd:YAG laser irradiation may be viewed as a promising tool for the therapeutic management of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
The incidence and severity of mastitis can be high during the period of transition from pregnancy to lactation when dairy cattle are susceptible to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress may contribute to the pathogenesis of mastitis by modifying the expression of proinflammatory genes. The overall goal of this study was to determine the relationship between critical antioxidant defense mechanisms and proinflammatory markers in normal bovine mammary tissue during the periparturient period. Mammary tissue samples were obtained from 12 cows at 35, 20, and 7 d before expected calving and during early lactation (EL, 15 to 28 d in milk). Enzyme activities for cytosolic glutathione peroxidase and phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase were relatively low during the dry period, but increased during EL, whereas activity of thioredoxin reductase 1 did not change significantly as a function of time. In contrast, gene expression for these antioxidant selenoproteins and for heme oxygenase-1 gradually decreased as parturition approached and then increased during EL. The expression of intercellular vascular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 followed a similar trend where mRNA abundance gradually declined as parturition approached with a slight rebound in EL. Gene expression of the pro-oxidant, 15-lipoxygenase 1, which is known to increase during times of oxidative stress, also increased dramatically in mammary tissue from EL cows. Expression of the proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8 did not change significantly during the periparturient period. Strong positive correlations were found between several antioxidant enzymes (cytosolic glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxin reductase 1, and heme oxygenase-1) and vascular adhesion molecules (intercellular vascular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) suggesting a protective response of these antioxidants to an enhanced proinflammatory state. Ability to control oxidative stress through manipulation of key antioxidant enzymes in the future may modify the proinflammatory state of periparturient cows and reduce incidence and severity of some diseases such as mastitis.

Abstract
Atomic force microscopy (AFM), malondialdehyde (MDA) assays, and amperometric measurements of extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) were used to test the hypothesis that graded hyperoxia induces measurable nanoscopic changes in membrane ultrastructure and membrane lipid peroxidation (MLP) in cultured U87 human glioma cells. U87 cells were exposed to 0.20 atmospheres absolute (ATA) O(2), normobaric hyperoxia (0.95 ATA O(2)) or hyperbaric hyperoxia (HBO(2), 3.25 ATA O(2)) for 60 min. H(2)O(2) (0.2 or 2 mM; 60 min) was used as a positive control for MLP. Cells were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde immediately after treatment and scanned with AFM in air or fluid. Surface topography revealed ultrastructural changes such as membrane blebbing in cells treated with hyperoxia and H(2)O(2). Average membrane roughness (R(a)) of individual cells from each group (n=35 to 45 cells/group) was quantified to assess ultrastructural changes from oxidative stress. The R(a) of the plasma membrane was 34+/-3, 57+/-3 and 63+/-5 nm in 0.20 ATA O(2), 0.95 ATA O(2) and HBO(2), respectively. R(a) was 56+/-7 and 138+/-14 nm in 0.2 and 2 mM H(2)O(2). Similarly, levels of MDA were significantly elevated in cultures treated with hyperoxia and H(2)O(2) and correlated with O(2)-induced membrane blebbing (r(2)=0.93). Coapplication of antioxidant, Trolox-C (150 microM), significantly reduced membrane R(a) and MDA levels during hyperoxia. Hyperoxia-induced H(2)O(2) production increased 189%+/-5% (0.95 ATA O(2)) and 236%+/-5% (4 ATA O(2)) above control (0.20 ATA O(2)). We conclude that MLP and membrane blebbing increase with increasing O(2) concentration. We hypothesize that membrane blebbing is an ultrastructural correlate of MLP resulting from hyperoxia. Furthermore, AFM is a powerful technique for resolving nanoscopic changes in the plasma membrane that result from oxidative damage.

Abstract
Annexins are intracellular molecules implicated in the down-regulation of inflammation. Recently, annexin-1 has also been identified as a secreted molecule, suggesting it may have more complex effects on inflammation than previously appreciated. We studied the role of annexin-1 in mediating MMP-1 secretion from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fibroblasts (SF) stimulated with TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha induced a biphasic secretion of annexin-1 from RA SF. Early (< or = 60 min), cycloheximide-independent secretion from preformed intracellular pools was followed by late (24 h) cycloheximide-inhibitable secretion requiring new protein synthesis. Exogenous annexin-1 N-terminal peptide Ac2-26 stimulated MMP-1 secretion in a dose- (EC(50) approximately 25 microM) and time- (8-24 h) dependent manner; full-length annexin-1 had a similar effect. Down-regulation of annexin-1 using small interfering RNA resulted in decreased secretion of both annexin-1 and MMP-1, confirming that annexin-1 mediates TNF-alpha-stimulated MMP-1 secretion. Erk, Jnk, and NF-kappaB have been implicated in MMP-1 secretion. Erk, Jnk, and NF-kappaB inhibitors had no effect on annexin-1 secretion stimulated by TNF-alpha but inhibited MMP-1 secretion in response to Ac2-26, indicating that these molecules signal downstream of annexin-1. Annexin-1 stimulation of MMP-1 secretion was inhibited by both a formyl peptide receptor antagonist and pertussis toxin, suggesting that secreted annexin-1 acts via formyl peptide family receptors, most likely FPLR-1. In contrast to its commonly appreciated anti-inflammatory roles, our data indicate that annexin-1 is secreted by RA SF in response to TNF-alpha and acts in an autacoid manner to engage FPRL-1, activate Erk, Jnk, and NF-kappaB, and stimulate MMP-1 secretion.

Abstract
This mini-review summarizes current ideas of how hyperbaric gases (>1-10 atmospheres absolute) affect neuronal mechanisms of excitability through molecular interaction with membrane components. The dynamic nature of the lipid bilayer, its resident proteins, and the underlying cytoskeleton make each respective nanostructure a potential target for modulation by hyperbaric gases. Depending on the composition of the gas mixture, the relative concentrations of O(2) and inert gas, and total barometric pressure, the net effect of a particular gas on the cell membrane will be determined by the gas' 1) lipid solubility, 2) ability to oxidize lipids and proteins (O(2)), and 3) capacity, in the compressed state, to generate localized shear and strain forces between various nanostructures. A change in the properties of any one membrane component is anticipated to change conductance of membrane-spanning ion channels and thus neuronal function.

Abstract
In addition to the amplifying action of enzymes in the cell-signaling cascade, another important mechanism has been shown to amplify the signals massively when ligands bind to their receptors, which is characterized by clustering of membrane lipid microdomains or lipid rafts and formation of various signaling platforms. In this process, many receptor molecules aggregate on stimulation, thereby resulting in a very high density of the receptors and other signaling molecules to form signaling platforms and transmit and amplify the signals from receptor activation. Recent studies have indicated lipid rafts or lipid microdomain platforms may be importantly implicated in redox signaling of a variety of cells in response to agonists or stimuli. In this forum, we collected four original research communications, five review articles, and one news or views report to summarize recent progress in this research area. Information is offered for further understanding of the formation and function of lipid rafts and ceramide-enriched platforms and their roles in redox signaling. We hope that this forum could lead to more studies in this area and enhance our understanding of lipid rafts and redox regulation under physiologic and pathologic conditions.
