Cloning of Mn-SOD gene and its mRNA expression difference and antioxidant enzyme activities under hypoxia stress of cobia Rachycentron canadum. Mol Biol Rep 2021; 48:6897-6909. [PMID: 34453674 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-021-06692-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Environmental hypoxia affects the survival and development of organisms. It is also an important environmental factor that leads to oxidative damage. Hypoxia is a condition in which tissues are deprived of oxygen; reoxygenation is the phenomenon in which hypoxic tissues are exposed to oxygen. Hypoxia-reoxygenation is vital in pathogenesis, where the production of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant disparity significantly contribute to disease progression, and it is one of the most common physiological stressors in the aquaculture industry. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, the full length of complementary DNA (cDNA) of the manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) gene of healthy cobia Rachycentron canadum was analysed using rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The real-time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction was used to measure the expression levels of Mn-SOD mRNAs in various tissues (heart, muscle, brain, liver, kidney, gill, intestine, and spleen). The 2-ΔΔCT method was used to performed the expression analysis. The experimental data were analysed using SPSS ver. 19.0 ( https://spss.software.informer.com/19.0/ ). P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 were set as significant differences. The values were articulated as mean ± standard deviation. The Mn-SOD gene cDNA sequence was 1209 bp long, including a 684 bp open reading frame, 42 bp 5'UTR and 483 bp 3'UTR, encoding 227 amino acids. Under hypoxia-reoxygen stress, the expression of Mn-SOD in brain tissue was significantly lower than in the control group after 8 h of reoxygenation and higher than the control group after 24 h. Hypoxia and subsequent reoxygenation triggered a disturbance in antioxidant homeostasis, displayed in the modification of GPx expression/activity in the liver: GPx was improved. CONCLUSIONS These results provide valuable information on the role of Mn-SOD regulation in oxidative stress caused by hypoxia.

Oxidative Stress Promotes Corticosteroid Insensitivity in Asthma and COPD. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10091335. [PMID: 34572965 PMCID: PMC8471691 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10091335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Corticosteroid insensitivity is a key characteristic of patients with severe asthma and COPD. These individuals experience greater pulmonary oxidative stress and inflammation, which contribute to diminished lung function and frequent exacerbations despite the often and prolonged use of systemic, high dose corticosteroids. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) promote corticosteroid insensitivity by disrupting glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling, leading to the sustained activation of pro-inflammatory pathways in immune and airway structural cells. Studies in asthma and COPD models suggest that corticosteroids need a balanced redox environment to be effective and to reduce airway inflammation. In this review, we discuss how oxidative stress contributes to corticosteroid insensitivity and the importance of optimizing endogenous antioxidant responses to enhance corticosteroid sensitivity. Future studies should aim to identify how antioxidant-based therapies can complement corticosteroids to reduce the need for prolonged high dose regimens in patients with severe asthma and COPD.

Abstract
There are few studies on the role of iron metabolism genes in predicting the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Therefore, our research aims to screen key genes and to establish a prognostic signature that can predict the overall survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma patients. RNA-Seq data and corresponding clinical materials of 594 adenocarcinoma patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) were downloaded. GSE42127 of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was further verified. The multi-gene prognostic signature was constructed by the Cox regression model of the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO). We constructed a prediction signature with 12 genes (HAVCR1, SPN, GAPDH, ANGPTL4, PRSS3, KRT8, LDHA, HMMR, SLC2A1, CYP24A1, LOXL2, TIMP1), and patients were split into high and low-risk groups. The survival graph results revealed that the survival prognosis between the high and low-risk groups was significantly different (TCGA: P < 0.001, GEO: P = 0.001). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that the risk value is a predictor of patient OS (P < 0.001). The area under the time-dependent ROC curve (AUC) indicated that our signature had a relatively high true positive rate when predicting the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS of the TCGA cohort, which was 0.735, 0.711, and 0.601, respectively. In addition, immune-related pathways were highlighted in the functional enrichment analysis. In conclusion, we developed and verified a 12-gene prognostic signature, which may be help predict the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma and offer a variety of targeted options for the precise treatment of lung cancer.

The interplay of DAMPs, TLR4, and proinflammatory cytokines in pulmonary fibrosis. J Mol Med (Berl) 2021; 99:1373-1384. [PMID: 34258628 PMCID: PMC8277227 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-021-02113-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic debilitating condition characterized by progressive deposition of connective tissue, leading to a steady restriction of lung elasticity, a decline in lung function, and a median survival of 4.5 years. The leading causes of pulmonary fibrosis are inhalation of foreign particles (such as silicosis and pneumoconiosis), infections (such as post COVID-19), autoimmune diseases (such as systemic autoimmune diseases of the connective tissue), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The therapeutics currently available for pulmonary fibrosis only modestly slow the progression of the disease. This review is centered on the interplay of damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-17) as they contribute to the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis, and the possible avenues to develop effective therapeutics that disrupt this interplay.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are powerful cytosolic sensors of environmental stressors and are critical for triggering interleukin-1 (IL-1)-mediated inflammatory responses. However, dysregulation of inflammasome activation may lead to pathological conditions, and the identification of negative regulators for therapeutic purposes is increasingly being recognized. Anakinra, the recombinant form of the IL-1 receptor antagonist, proved effective by preventing the binding of IL-1 to its receptor, IL-1R1, thus restoring autophagy and dampening NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) activity. As the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxidative species (ROS) is a critical upstream event in the activation of NLRP3, we investigated whether anakinra would regulate mitochondrial ROS production. By profiling the activation of transcription factors induced in murine alveolar macrophages, we found a mitochondrial antioxidative pathway induced by anakinra involving the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) or SOD2. Molecularly, anakinra promotes the binding of SOD2 with the deubiquitinase Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 36 (USP36) and Constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 (COP9) signalosome, thus increasing SOD2 protein longevity. Functionally, anakinra and SOD2 protects mice from pulmonary oxidative inflammation and infection. On a preclinical level, anakinra upregulates SOD2 in murine models of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and cystic fibrosis (CF). These data suggest that protection from mitochondrial oxidative stress may represent an additional mechanism underlying the clinical benefit of anakinra and identifies SOD2 as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive disease with significant gas exchange impairment owing to exaggerated extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and myofibroblast activation. IPF has no cure, and although nintedanib and pirfenidone are two approved medications for symptom management, the total treatment cost is exuberant and prohibitive to a global uninsured patient population. New therapeutic alternatives with moderate costs are needed to treat IPF. ECM hydrogels derived from decellularized lungs are cost-effective therapeutic candidates to treat pulmonary fibrosis because of their reported antioxidant properties. Oxidative stress contributes to IPF pathophysiology by damaging macromolecules, interfering with tissue remodeling, and contributing to myofibroblast activation. Thus, preventing oxidative stress has beneficial outcomes in IPF. For this purpose, this review describes ECM hydrogel's properties to regulate oxidative stress and tissue remodeling in IPF.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a significant role in human cells. Excessive ROS production damages important macromolecules such as nucleic acids and can initiate and develop the carcinogenesis process. Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) are responsible for maintaining the balance between the functions of free radical formation and eliminating their excessive amounts. Based on the analyzed literature, the following conclusions can be made: 1. Antioxidant enzymes activity are important for diagnosing neoplastic diseases such as non-small-cell lung cancer, bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, and colon cancer. 2. Non-small-cell lung cancer is usually characterized by decreased SOD and CAT activity and increased glutathione GST activity. Lowered SOD, CAT, and GPx activity is characteristic of bladder cancer. XOR, CAT, SOD and GPx expression is decreased in patients with ovarian cancer. Colorectal cancer is characterized by increased MnSOD expression (in vitro studies) and SOD expression while CAT, GPx, and GR are decreased (in vivo study). 3. SOD, CAT, and XOR are promising prognostic markers in cancer of the lung, bladder, ovarian, and colon.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metalloenzymes that play a major role in antioxidant defense against oxidative stress in the body. SOD supplementation may therefore trigger the endogenous antioxidant machinery for the neutralization of free-radical excess and be used in a variety of pathological settings. This paper aimed to provide an extensive review of the possible uses of SODs in a range of pathological settings, as well as describe the current pitfalls and the delivery strategies that are in development to solve bioavailability issues. We carried out a PubMed query, using the keywords "SOD", "SOD mimetics", "SOD supplementation", which included papers published in the English language, between 2012 and 2020, on the potential therapeutic applications of SODs, including detoxification strategies. As highlighted in this paper, it can be argued that the generic antioxidant effects of SODs are beneficial under all tested conditions, from ocular and cardiovascular diseases to neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic diseases, including diabetes and its complications and obesity. However, it must be underlined that clinical evidence for its efficacy is limited and consequently, this efficacy is currently far from being demonstrated.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is closely linked to various diseases, and many studies have been conducted to determine how to reduce this stress. In particular, efforts are being made to find potential antioxidants from natural products. Studies have shown that raspberry ketone (RK; 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone) has various pharmacological activities. This review summarizes the antioxidant activities of RK and their underlying mechanisms. In several experimental models, it was proven that RK exhibits antioxidant properties through increasing total antioxidant capacity (TAC); upregulating antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT); and improving lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, research about RK’s antioxidant activities is directly or indirectly related to its other various physiological activities. Further studies at the clinical level will be able to verify the value of RK as an effective antioxidant, functional health food, and therapeutic agent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The regulation system for oxidative stress in systemic sclerosis (SSc) remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the possible involvement of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), which plays a key role in DNA repair and redox balance, in the pathogenesis of SSc. METHODS Thirty patients with SSc and 15 healthy controls were enrolled. Expression of ATM and phosphorylated ATM (pATM), an activated form of ATM, in phagocytes in whole blood samples was analysed by FACS. Correlations between expression levels of ATM/pATM and clinical parameters of SSc patients were statistically analysed. Peripheral monocytes were cultured with an ATM-specific inhibitor (KU55933), and reactive oxygen species production in the cells was measured. RESULTS Expression level of pATM in peripheral monocytes and neutrophils from SSc patients was significantly lower than those in healthy controls (P = 0.04 and P < 0.001, respectively), while no significant difference in total ATM expression was observed between SSc and healthy controls. In addition, pATM expression in monocytes of SSc patients with interstitial lung disease or digital pitting scar was remarkably lower than in the patients without these clinical features (P = 0.02 and P = 0.03), respectively. Moreover, pATM expression in monocytes positively correlated with forced vital capacity and negatively correlated with the serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 level. Notably, KU55933, an ATM-specific inhibitor, enhanced reactive oxygen species production by monocytes under oxidative stress. CONCLUSION Our data revealed that decreased ATM activation in monocytes was associated with SSc-interstitial lung disease and that impaired ATM activation in monocytes may contribute to the disease process of SSc via uncontrolled reactive oxygen species production.

Abstract
Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health and a global public health concern. In 2016, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), ambient air pollution in cities and rural areas was estimated to cause 4.2 million premature deaths. It is estimated that around 91% of the world’s population lives in places where air pollution exceeds the limits recommended by the WHO. Sources of air pollution are multiple and context-specific. Air pollution exposures are established risk factors for development and adverse health outcomes in many respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or lung cancer. However, possible associations between air pollution and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have not been adequately studied and air pollution seems to be an underrecognized risk factor for IPF. This narrative review describes potential mechanisms triggered by ambient air pollution and their possible roles in the initiation of the pathogenic process and adverse health effects in IPF. Additionally, we summarize the most current research evidence from the clinical studies supporting links between air pollution and IPF.

Abstract
As aerobic organisms, we are continuously and throughout our lifetime subjected to an oxidizing atmosphere and, most often, to environmental threats. The lung is the internal organ most highly exposed to this milieu. Therefore, it has evolved to confront both oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a variety of pollutants, pathogens, and allergens that promote inflammation and can harm the airways to different degrees. Indeed, an excess of ROS, generated intrinsically or from external sources, can imprint direct damage to key structural cell components (nucleic acids, sugars, lipids, and proteins) and indirectly perturb ROS-mediated signaling in lung epithelia, impairing its homeostasis. These early events complemented with efficient recognition of pathogen- or damage-associated recognition patterns by the airway resident cells alert the immune system, which mounts an inflammatory response to remove the hazards, including collateral dead cells and cellular debris, in an attempt to return to homeostatic conditions. Thus, any major or chronic dysregulation of the redox balance, the air-liquid interface, or defects in epithelial proteins impairing mucociliary clearance or other defense systems may lead to airway damage. Here, we review our understanding of the key role of oxidative stress and inflammation in respiratory pathology, and extensively report current and future trends in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory treatments focusing on the following major acute and chronic lung diseases: acute lung injury/respiratory distress syndrome, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis.

Abstract
Since the Great Oxidation Event, about 2.4 billion years ago, the Earth is immersed in an oxidizing atmosphere. Thus, it has been proposed that excess oxygen, originally a waste product of photosynthetic cyanobacteria, induced oxidative stress and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have since acted as fundamental drivers of biologic evolution and eukaryogenesis. Indeed, throughout an organism’s lifespan, ROS affect directly (as mutagens) or indirectly (as messengers and regulators) all structural and functional components of cells, and many aspects of cell biology. Whether left unchecked by protective antioxidant systems, excess ROS not only cause genomic mutations but also induce irreversible oxidative modification of proteins (protein oxidation and peroxidation), lipids and glycans (advanced lipoxidation and glycation end products), impairing their function and promoting disease or cell death. Conversely, low-level local ROS play an important role both as redox-signaling molecules in a wide spectrum of pathways involved in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis (MAPK/ERK, PTK/PTP, PI3K-AKT-mTOR), and regulating key transcription factors (NFκB/IκB, Nrf2/KEAP1, AP-1, p53, HIF-1). Consequently, ROS can shape a variety of cellular functions, including proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. In this review, we will give a brief overview of the relevance of ROS in both physiological and pathological processes, particularly inflammation and aging. In-depth knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of ROS actuation and their influence under steady-state and stressful conditions will pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic interventions. This will mitigate the harmful outcomes of ROS in the onset and progression of a variety of chronic inflammatory and age-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation are important predisposing factors for the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), leading to increased morbidity and mortality in premature infants. Oxygen toxicity mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) may play an important part in the development of BPD. We studied the effects of MnTBAP, a catalytic antioxidant on airway responsiveness and alveolar simplification in adult mice following neonatal hyperoxia. METHODS Mice litters were randomized to 85 %O2 or room air (RA) on D3 for 12 days to receive either MnTBAP (10 mg/kg/d) or saline intraperitoneally. Methacholine challenge (MCC) performed at 8 and 12 weeks of age by whole-body plethysmography to assess airway reactivity. Alveolarization quantified on lung sections by radial alveolar count (RAC) and mean linear intercept (MLI). Cell counts assessed from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) performed at 15 weeks. RESULTS Mice exposed to hyperoxia and MnTBAP (OXMN) had significantly higher airway reactivity post-MCC at 8 weeks compared to RA and O2 groups. At 12 weeks, airway reactivity was higher post-MCC in both hyperoxia and OXMN groups. MnTBAP did not attenuate hyperoxia-induced airway reactivity in adult mice. Hyperoxia exposed mice demonstrated large and distended alveoli on histopathology at 2 and 15 weeks. MnTBAP did not ameliorate hyperoxia-induced lung injury as assessed by RAC/MLI. Absolute lymphocyte count was significantly higher in BAL in the hyperoxia and OXMN groups. CONCLUSIONS MnTBAP, a catalytic antioxidant, did not afford protection from hyperoxia-induced lung injury in adult mice.

Abstract
Introduction: In vitro evidence suggests that pirfenidone and nintedanib, approved agents for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), exert anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. We aimed to investigate such effects in vivo in IPF patients. Methods: Systemic circulating markers of oxidative stress [nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2), thiobarbituric acid- reactive substances (TBARS), homocysteine (Hcy), cysteine (Cys), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and ADMA/Arginine ratio, glutathione (GSH), plasma protein –SH (PSH), and taurine (Tau)] and inflammation [Kynurenine (Kyn), Tryptophan (Trp) and Kyn/Trp ratio] were measured at baseline and after 24-week treatment in 18 IPF patients (10 treated with pirfenidone and 8 with nintedanib) and in 18 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Results: Compared to controls, IPF patients had significantly lower concentrations of reduced blood GSH (457 ± 73 µmol/L vs 880 ± 212 µmol/L, p < 0.001) and plasma PSH (4.24 ± 0.95 µmol/g prot vs 5.28 ± 1.35 µmol/g prot, p = 0.012). Pirfenidone treatment significantly decreased the Kyn/Trp ratio (0.030 ± 0.011 baseline vs 0.025 ± 0.010 post-treatment, p = 0.048) whilst nintedanib treatment significantly increased blood GSH (486 ± 70 μmol/L vs 723 ± 194 μmol/L, p = 0.006) and reduced ADMA concentrations (0.501 ± 0.094 vs. 0.468 ± 0.071 μmol/L, p = 0.024). Conclusion: pirfenidone and nintedanib exert beneficial effects on specific markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in IPF patients.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes are considered the first line of Defence against reactive oxygen species. Among the intracellular isoforms of SOD, Cu,ZnSOD is widely distributed, and the MnSOD is localised in the mitochondria. The SOD activities have been measured indirectly by inhibiting oxidation reactions. Most techniques assessing the hepatic SOD activity are adaptations of classical methods and differ significantly from each other. This work assessed the hepatic Cu,ZnSOD activity in the supernatants of two different centrifugations, using two isotonic medium and the pyrogallol method. In most studies conducted in rat liver, only the Cu,Zn or total SOD activities were assessed and sometimes the Cu,ZnSOD activity was calculated based on the inhibition by cyanide. But, as demonstrated here, this inhibition is not complete. Besides, the novelty of this work is that we presented a method for the evaluating the Cu,ZnSOD and MnSOD activities separately and from the same liver.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxygen toxicity mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an essential role in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants. By reducing oxidative stress, antioxidants protect the immature lung. We studied the effects of MnTBAP, a catalytic antioxidant on angiogenesis and alveolar growth following neonatal hyperoxia. METHODS Newborn mouse litters randomized to room air (RA) or >95% O2 for 72 hours from day 4 (D4) to D7 to receive either MnTBAP (10 mg/kg/d) or saline intraperitoneally (every 24 h for three doses). Lungs harvested for angiogenic gene expression, protein expression, and histopathology post-hyperoxia exposure. Radial alveolar count (RAC), mean linear intercept (MLI) and vessel density assessed by histopathology. RESULTS Angiogenic gene expression was significantly lower in the hyperoxia group compared to the RA group. The protein expression for VEGF and its receptor, VEGFR1, was significantly lower following treatment with MnTBAP compared to hyperoxia alone. Expression of VEGFR2, Angiopoietin-1 and TIE2, were substantially higher in the RA groups compared to hyperoxia groups with or without MnTBAP. Hyperoxia groups demonstrated alveolar simplification. MnTBAP reduced vessel density and failed to improve alveolar growth following hyperoxia. CONCLUSIONS MnTBAP, a catalytic antioxidant, does not offer protection from hyperoxia-induced alveolar impairment. The lack of angiogenic upregulation by MnTBAP may contribute to alveolar simplification in newborn mice.

Pursuing the Elixir of Life: In Vivo Antioxidative Effects of Manganosalen Complexes. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9080727.

Abstract
Manganosalen complexes are coordination compounds that possess a chelating salen-type ligand, a class of bis-Schiff bases obtained by condensation of salicylaldehyde and a diamine. They may act as catalytic antioxidants mimicking both the structure and the reactivity of the native antioxidant enzymes active site. Thus, manganosalen complexes have been shown to exhibit superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities, and they could potentially facilitate the scavenging of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby restoring the redox balance in damaged cells and organs. Initial catalytic studies compared the potency of these compounds as antioxidants in terms of rate constants of the chemical reactivity against ROS, giving catalytic values approaching and even exceeding that of the native antioxidative enzymes. Although most of these catalytic studies lack of biological relevance, subsequent in vitro studies have confirmed the efficiency of many manganosalen complexes in oxidative stress models. These synthetic catalytic scavengers, cheaper than natural antioxidants, have accordingly attracted intensive attention for the therapy of ROS-mediated injuries. The aim of this review is to focus on in vivo studies performed on manganosalen complexes and their activity on the treatment of several pathological disorders associated with oxidative damage. These disorders, ranging from the prevention of fetal malformations to the extension of lifespan, include neurodegenerative, inflammatory, and cardiovascular diseases; tissue injury; and other damages related to the liver, kidney, or lungs.

Abstract
The commonly used respiratory monitoring methods in clinical medicine are chest belt or ventilators, which are not easy to carry and cumbersome to operate. In order to solve this problem, a low-cost and portable magnetic induction phase detection system for respiratory monitoring is proposed. In this study, a magnetic induction tomography system for respiration detection is established, and the phase sensitivity of the system to conductive object is evaluated through a series of experiments. At the same time, phantom experiments are carried out to simulate the respiratory process, and the phase monitoring indicators are collected to describe different respiratory states. The experimental results show that the phase detection results are consistent with the changes in the respiratory cycle. The signal-to-noise ratio of the system is 79 dB. It proves the feasibility of using magnetic induction phase measurement in respiratory monitoring and provides a new detection method of respiratory monitoring.

Abstract
One of the well-known toxicants of the mammary tissue is 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). This study was carried out to investigate the possible prophylactic's role of increased dietary intake of vitamin K on the induction of toxicity in the lung tissue. Twenty-eight Wistar albino rats (120-150 g) were randomly divided into different groups. Group 1 served as the control and were fed with a normal diet (containing the recommended daily allowance of vitamin K (0.0075%)). Groups 2 and 3 received a single dose of DMBA (80 mg/kg body weight) intragastically. In addition, group 3 rats were maintained on surplus vitamin K diet (0.075% diet) as against the group 2 animals that were on a normal diet. Group 4 rats were on surplus vitamin K diet (0.075% diet) throughout the experimental period of 16 weeks. Our results revealed that supplementation of diet with surplus vitamin K significantly increased the activities of catalase. Superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferase, and glutathione peroxidase were significantly increased in the serum and lungs when compared with the DMBA-treated group, which was maintained on a normal diet. Significant alterations in malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and interleukin 17F were observed in rats challenged with DMBA-fed normal diets but were normalized in rats with surplus vitamin K. These alterations and reversal were confirmed by histopathology studies. This suggests the prophylactic benefit of increased dietary intake of vitamin K without any observed deleterious effect on DMBA-induced pulmonary toxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relation between oxidative stress (OS) and sarcopenia in COPD remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To analyze OS levels and its association with sarcopenia in COPD. METHODS Thirty-nine individuals with COPD (69±7years; 41%female) and thirty-five for the control group (69±7years; 43%female) were included. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), paraoxonase-1 (PON1), superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), catalase dismutase activity (CAT), sulfhydryl group (SH), nitric oxide metabolites (NOX), total radical trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP) were analysed. OS markers were correlated with handgrip and quadriceps strength, gait speed, skeletal muscle mass index, fat-free mass index, maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure. European criteria were used to identify sarcopenia. RESULTS In COPD, antioxidant capacity was correlated with muscle mass and strength (r from 0.5 to 0.64) P<0.05 for all. TRAP≤ 850 μM/trolox and AOPP≤65 μM/l were associated with sarcopenia (OR:8.3; 95% CI: 1.4-49.6 and OR:14; 95%CI: 2.2-87.1, respectively; P<0.05 for both). CONCLUSION OS is associated with sarcopenia in COPD.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most prevalent obstructive lung disease worldwide characterized by decline in lung function. It is associated with airway obstruction, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, and enhanced autophagy and cellular senescence. Cigarette smoke being the major risk factor, other secondary risk factors such as the exposure to air pollutants, occupational exposure to gases and fumes in developing countries, also contribute to the pathogenesis of COPD. Conventional therapeutic strategies of COPD are based on anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, traditional anti-oxidant pharmacological therapies are commonly used to alleviate the impact of COPD as they have many associated repercussions such as low diffusion rate and inappropriate drug pharmacokinetics. Recent advances in nanotechnology and stem cell research have shed new light on the current treatment of chronic airway disease. This review is focused on some of the anti-oxidant therapies currently used in the treatment and management of COPD with more emphasis on the recent advances in nanotechnology-based therapeutics including stem cell and gene therapy approaches for the treatment of chronic airway disease such as COPD and asthma.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is the second most common cause of death in men after prostate cancer, and the third most recurrent type of tumor in women after breast and colon cancers. Unfortunately, when LC symptoms begin to appear, the disease is already in an advanced stage and the survival rate only reaches 2%. Thus, there is an urgent need for early diagnosis of LC using specific biomarkers, as well as effective therapies and strategies against LC. On the other hand, the influence of metals on more than 50% of proteins is responsible for their catalytic properties or structure, and their presence in molecules is determined in many cases by the genome. Research has shown that redox metal dysregulation could be the basis for the onset and progression of LC disease. Moreover, metals can interact between them through antagonistic, synergistic and competitive mechanisms, and for this reason metals ratios and correlations in LC should be explored. One of the most studied antagonists against the toxic action of metals is selenium, which plays key roles in medicine, especially related to selenoproteins. The study of potential biomarkers able to diagnose the disease in early stage is conditioned by the development of new analytical methodologies. In this sense, omic methodologies like metallomics, proteomics and metabolomics can greatly assist in the discovery of biomarkers for LC early diagnosis.

J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2020; 29:104942. [PMID: 32807413 DOI: 10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2020.104942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2020] [Revised: 04/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Studies implicate the lung in moderating systemic immune activation via effects on circulating leukocytes. In this study, we investigated whether targeted expression of the antioxidant extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3) within the lung would influence post-ischemic peripheral neutrophil activation and CNS reperfusion injury. METHODS Adult, male mice expressing human SOD3 within type II pneumocytes were subjected to 15 min of transient global cerebral ischemia. Three days post-reperfusion, lung and brain tissue was collected and analyzed by immunohistochemistry for inflammation and injury markers. In vitro motility and neurotoxicity assays were conducted to ascertain the direct effects of hSOD3 on PMN activation. Results were compared against C57BL/6 age and sex-matched controls. RESULTS Relative to wild-type controls, hSOD3 heterozygous mice exhibited a reduction in lung inflammation, blood-brain barrier damage, and post-ischemic neuronal injury within the hippocampus and cortex. PMNs harvested from hSOD3 mice were also resistant to LPS priming, slower-moving, and less toxic to primary neuronal cultures. CONCLUSIONS Constitutive, focal expression of hSOD3 is neuroprotective in a model of global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. The underlying mechanism of SOD3-dependent protection is attributable in part to effects on the activation state and toxic potential of circulating neutrophils. These results implicate lung-brain coupling as a determinant of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and highlight post-stroke lung inflammation as a potential therapeutic target in acute ischemic cerebrovascular injuries.

Abstract
Purpose/Aim: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is characterized by the progressive and ultimately fatal accumulation of fibroblasts and extracellular matrix in the lung that distorts its architecture and compromises its function.Objective: The present study investigated the potential protective effects of schisandrin B (Sch B) on the Wingless/Integrase-1 (Wnt) signaling pathway in attenuating inflammation and oxidative stress in ICR mice.Methods: Sixty healthy ICR mice were randomly divided into the following groups: control group, bleomycin (BLM) group, Sch B low dose (Sch B-L) group, Sch B medium dose (Sch B-M) group, Sch B high dose (Sch B-H) group, and dexamethasone (DXM) group. The expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 was examined by ELISA. In addition, the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), hydroxyproline (HYP), and the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were determined. The protein and mRNA levels of matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) and β-catenin in mice were analyzed by western blot and quantitative real -quantitative time PCR (qRT-PCR), respectively.Results: Lung tissues from the BLM group exhibited significantly more inflammatory changes and a significantly greater number of collagen fibers than lung tissues from the control group. In addition, the lung tissues from these BLM-treated mice exhibited slightly increased MMP7 and β-catenin protein expression. Lung tissues from the Sch B-H group exhibited fewer inflammatory changes and fewer collagen fibers than lung tissues from the BLM group. Furthermore, the lung tissues from the Sch B-H mice exhibited decreased HYP and TGF-β1 levels, but increased SOD and T-AOC levels.Conclusions: The present study provided evidence that Sch B may be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of PF.

Abstract
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EcSOD) is the only extracellular scavenger of superoxide anion (O2.-) with unique binding capacity to cell surface and extracellular matrix through its heparin-binding domain. Enhanced EcSOD activity prevents oxidative stress and damage, which are fundamental in a variety of disease pathologies. In this review we will discuss the findings in humans and animal studies supporting the benefits of EcSOD induced by exercise training in reducing oxidative stress in various tissues. In particularly, we will highlight the importance of skeletal muscle EcSOD, which is induced by endurance exercise and redistributed through the circulation to the peripheral tissues, as a molecular transducer of exercise training to confer protection against oxidative stress and damage in various disease conditions.

Abstract
Aims: Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) are detrimental to immune cellular functions that control pathogenic microbes; however, the mechanisms are poorly understood. Our aim was to determine the immunological consequences of increased ROS levels during acute bacterial infection. Results: We used a model of Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) lung infection and superoxide dismutase 3-deficient (SOD3-/-) mice, as SOD3 is a major antioxidant enzyme that catalyses the dismutation of superoxide radicals. First, we observed that in vitro, macrophages from SOD3-/- mice generated excessive phagosomal ROS during acute bacterial infection. In vivo, there was a significant reduction in infiltrating neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and reduced peribronchial and alveoli inflammation in SOD3-/- mice 2 days after Spn infection. Annexin V/propidium iodide staining revealed enhanced apoptosis in neutrophils from Spn-infected SOD3-/- mice. In addition, SOD3-/- mice showed an altered macrophage phenotypic profile, with markedly diminished recruitment of monocytes (CD11clo, CD11bhi) in the airways. Further investigation revealed significantly lower levels of the monocyte chemokine CCL-2, and cytokines IL-23, IL-1β, and IL-17A in Spn-infected SOD3-/- mice. There were also significantly fewer IL-17A-expressing gamma-delta T cells (γδ T cells) in the lungs of Spn-infected SOD3-/- mice. Innovation: Our data demonstrate that SOD3 deficiency leads to an accumulation of phagosomal ROS levels that initiate early neutrophil apoptosis during pneumococcal infection. Consequent to these events, there was a failure to initiate innate γδ T cell responses. Conclusion: These studies offer new cellular and mechanistic insights into how excessive ROS can regulate innate immune responses to bacterial infection.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in mouse and human lung is associated with oxidative injury and pathogenic inflammation. RSV impairs antioxidant responses by increasing the degradation of transcription factor NRF2, which controls the expression of several antioxidant enzyme (AOE) genes, including catalase. Since catalase is a key enzyme for the dismutation of virus-mediated generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) we developed a model of intranasal supplementation of polyethylene glycol-conjugated catalase (PG-CAT) for RSV-infected mice. The results of our study show that PG-CAT supplementation was able to increase specific enzymatic activity along with reduction in H2O2 in the airways and had a significant protective effect against RSV-induced clinical disease and airway pathology. PG-CAT treated mice showed amelioration in airway obstruction, reduction in neutrophil elastase and inflammation. Improved airway hyperresponsiveness was also observed in mice that received PG-CAT as a treatment post-viral inoculation. In addition, PG-CAT greatly reduced the concentration of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including IL-1, TNF-α, IL-9, CXCL1, CCL2, and CCL5 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of RSV-infected mice, without increasing viral replication in the lung. In conclusion, catalase supplementation may represent a novel pharmacologic approach to be explored in human for prevention or treatment of respiratory infections caused by RSV.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related death mainly due to its high metastatic rate. Impairment of redox homeostasis mechanisms has been previously described in NSCLC and is associated with the disease itself as well as with comorbidities such as smoking. The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of selective and non-competitive inhibition of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on cancer redox homeostasis with particular regards to glutathione (GSH) metabolism related enzymes. NSCLC cell line (A549) was treated with the HO-1 activity inhibitor VP13/47 (10 µM) and we further evaluated cell viability, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Our results showed that VP13/47 significantly reduced HO-1 expression and total HO activity thus, resulting in a significant reduction of cell viability, proliferation and increased apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Consistently with increased oxidative stress, we also showed that reduced GSH was significantly decreased and such effect was also accompanied by a significant downregulation of the enzymes involved in its biosynthesis. Taken all together our results show that selective HO-1 inhibition significantly impairs NSCLC progression and may represent a possible pharmacological strategy for new chemotherapy agents.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is associated with oxidative lung injury, decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes (AOEs), and the degradation of the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a master regulator of AOE expression. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in AOE and NRF2 genes have been associated with various lung disorders. To test whether specific NRF2 and/or AOE gene SNPs in children with RSV lower respiratory tract infection were associated with disease severity, one hundred and forty one children <24 month of age with bronchiolitis were assessed for seven AOE and two NRF2 SNPs, and data were correlated with disease severity, which was determined by need of oxygen supplementation and intensive care support. One SNP in the promoter region of the catalase gene, rs1001179, which is associated with higher enzyme expression, was significantly underrepresented (p = 0.01, OR 0.38) among patients with moderate to severe RSV bronchiolitis, suggesting a protective effect against disease severity. Our results suggest that increasing catalase expression/activity could exert a protective role in the context of RSV infection and represent a potential novel therapeutic target to ameliorate viral-induced lung disease.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can be generated endogenously (by mitochondria, peroxisomes, and phagocytic cells) and exogenously (by pollutions, UV exposure, xenobiotic compounds, and cigarette smoke). The negative effects of free radicals are neutralized by antioxidant molecules synthesized in our body, like glutathione, uric acid, or ubiquinone, and those obtained from the diet, such as vitamins C, E, and A, and flavonoids. Different microelements like selenium and zinc have no antioxidant action themselves but are required for the activity of many antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, circulating blood proteins are suggested to account for more than 50% of the combined antioxidant effects of urate, ascorbate, and vitamin E. Antioxidants together constitute a mutually supportive defense against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species to maintain the oxidant/antioxidant balance. This article outlines the oxidative and anti-oxidative molecules involved in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive lung disease. The role of albumin and alpha-1 antitrypsin in antioxidant defense is also discussed.

Abstract
A human single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the matrix-binding domain of extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), with arginine to glycine substitution at position 213 (R213G), redistributes EC-SOD from the matrix into extracellular fluids. We reported that, following bleomycin (bleo), knockin mice harboring the human R213G SNP (R213G mice) exhibit enhanced resolution of inflammation and protection against fibrosis, compared with wild-type (WT) littermates. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the EC-SOD R213G SNP promotes resolution via accelerated apoptosis of recruited alveolar macrophage (AM). RNA sequencing and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis 7 d postbleo in recruited AM implicated increased apoptosis and blunted inflammatory responses in the R213G strain exhibiting accelerated resolution. We validated that the percentage of apoptosis was significantly elevated in R213G recruited AM vs. WT at 3 and 7 d postbleo in vivo. Recruited AM numbers were also significantly decreased in R213G mice vs. WT at 3 and 7 d postbleo. ChaC glutathione-specific γ-glutamylcyclotransferase 1 (Chac1), a proapoptotic γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase that depletes glutathione, was increased in the R213G recruited AM. Overexpression of Chac1 in vitro induced apoptosis of macrophages and was blocked by administration of cell-permeable glutathione. In summary, we provide new evidence that redistributed EC-SOD accelerates the resolution of inflammation through redox-regulated mechanisms that increase recruited AM apoptosis.-Allawzi, A., McDermott, I., Delaney, C., Nguyen, K., Banimostafa, L., Trumpie, A., Hernandez-Lagunas, L., Riemondy, K., Gillen, A., Hesselberth, J., El Kasmi, K., Sucharov, C.

Abstract
Free radicals and other oxidants are critical determinants of the cellular signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of several human diseases including inflammatory diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated the protective effects of antioxidant enzymes during inflammation by elimination of free radicals. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant enzyme, plays an essential pathogenic role in the inflammatory diseases by not only catalyzing the conversion of the superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen but also affecting immune responses. There are three distinct isoforms of SOD, which distribute in different cellular compartments such as cytosolic SOD1, mitochondrial SOD2, and extracellular SOD3. Many studies have investigated the anti-oxidative effects of SOD3 in the inflammatory diseases. Herein, in this review, we focus on the current understanding of SOD3 as a therapeutic protein in inflammatory diseases such as skin, autoimmune, lung, and cardiovascular inflammatory diseases. Moreover, the mechanism(s) by which SOD3 modulates immune responses and signal initiation in the pathogenesis of the diseases will be further discussed.

Abstract
Significance: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive age-related lung disease with a median survival of only 3 years after diagnosis. The pathogenic mechanisms behind IPF are not clearly understood, and current therapeutic approaches have not been successful in improving disease outcomes. Recent Advances: IPF is characterized by increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), primarily by NADPH oxidases (NOXes) and mitochondria, as well as altered antioxidant defenses. Recent studies have identified the NOX isoform NOX4 as a key player in various important aspects of IPF pathology. In addition, mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to enhance pathological features of IPF, in part by increasing mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) production and altering cellular metabolism. Recent findings indicate reciprocal interactions between NOX enzymes and mitochondria, which affect regulation of NOX activity as well as mitochondrial function and mtROS production, and collectively promote epithelial injury and profibrotic signaling. Critical Issues and Future Directions: The precise molecular mechanisms by which ROS from NOX or mitochondria contribute to IPF pathology are not known. This review summarizes the current knowledge with respect to the various aspects of ROS imbalance in the context of IPF and its proposed roles in disease development, with specific emphasis on the importance of inappropriate NOX activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the emerging evidence of NOX-mitochondria cross-talk as important drivers in IPF pathobiology.

Activity of Antioxidant Enzymes in the Tumor and Adjacent Noncancerous Tissues of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:2901840.

Abstract
Lung tissue is directly exposed to high oxygen pressure, as well as increased endogenous and exogenous oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in these conditions play an important role in the initiation and promotion of neoplastic growth. In response to oxidative stress, the antioxidant activity increases and minimizes ROS-induced injury in experimental systems. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the activity of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD; isoforms: Cu/ZnSOD and MnSOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione S-transferase (GST), along with the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in tumor and adjacent noncancerous tissues of two histological types of NSCLC, i.e., adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, collected from 53 individuals with surgically resectable NSCLC. MDA concentration was similar in tumors compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues. Tumor cells had low MnSOD activity, usually low Cu/ZnSOD activity, and almost always low catalase activity compared with those of the corresponding tumor-free lung tissues. Activities of GSH-related enzymes were significantly higher in tumor tissues, irrespective of the histological type of cancer. This pattern of antioxidant enzymes activity could possibly be the way by which tumor cells protect themselves against increased oxidative stress.

Abstract
Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can play a role in the pathogenesis of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) by contributing to epithelial damage. Bcl-2-like 11 (BIM) is involved in the generation of ROS via forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), and a BIM deletion polymorphism related to apoptosis has been reported to be specific to Asians. Here we examine the clinical features of IPF in patients with BIM deletion polymorphism. Methods In this single-center retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of 63 patients with IPF who were treated at our hospital from January 2006 through April 2018. Patients with and without BIM deletion polymorphism were compared in relation to clinical characteristics, pulmonary function test results, frequency of acute exacerbation (AE)-IPF, and redox status [including oxidized glutathione (GSSG), reduced glutathione (GSH), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and 8-isoprostane (8-iso)] at baseline and at 1 and 2 years after treatment. Results No fatal AE-IPF occurred in patients with BIM deletion polymorphism (0% vs. 36.4% of polymorphism-negative cases; P=0.038). Change in forced vital capacity from baseline (ΔFVC) at 2 years was significantly lower in patients with the BIM deletion polymorphism than in those without the polymorphism (‒0.42±0.50 vs. ‒0.88±0.83 L, respectively; P=0.045). Total blood glutathione (tGSH) was significantly higher in patients with the deletion polymorphism than in those without the polymorphism (988±48.3 vs. 858±25.8 µM, respectively; P=0.042). 8-iso was significantly lower in the former group (246.1±81.6 vs. 400.9±334.1 pg/mL, respectively; P=0.022). Conclusions IPF patients with BIM deletion polymorphism had a good redox balance and may thus have a better clinical outcome than patients without this polymorphism.

Mitochondrial Entry of Cytotoxic Proteases: A New Insight into the Granzyme B Cell Death Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:9165214.

Abstract
The mitochondria represent an integration and amplification hub for various death pathways including that mediated by granzyme B (GB), a granule enzyme expressed by cytotoxic lymphocytes. GB activates the proapoptotic B cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family member BH3-interacting domain death agonist (BID) to switch on the intrinsic mitochondrial death pathway, leading to Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax)/Bcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer- (Bak-) dependent mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP), the dissipation of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm), and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). GB can also induce mitochondrial damage in the absence of BID, Bax, and Bak, critical for MOMP, indicating that GB targets the mitochondria in other ways. Interestingly, granzyme A (GA), GB, and caspase 3 can all directly target the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I for ROS-dependent cell death. Studies of ROS biogenesis have revealed that GB must enter the mitochondria for ROS production, making the mitochondrial entry of cytotoxic proteases (MECP) an unexpected critical step in the granzyme death pathway. MECP requires an intact ΔΨm and is mediated though Sam50 and Tim22 channels in a mtHSP70-dependent manner. Preventing MECP severely compromises GB cytotoxicity. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the canonical mitochondrial death pathway in order to put into perspective this new insight into the GB action on the mitochondria to trigger ROS-dependent cell death.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a pernicious lung disease characterized by alveolar epithelial apoptosis, dysregulated repair of epithelial injury, scar formation, and respiratory failure. In this study, we identified phospholipase D (PLD)-generated phosphatidic acid (PA) signaling in the development of pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Of the PLD isoenzymes, the protein expression of PLD2, but not PLD1, was upregulated in lung tissues from IPF patients and bleomycin challenged mice. Both PLD1 (Pld1-/-)- and PLD2 (Pld2-/-)-deficient mice were protected against bleomycin-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis, thereby establishing the role of PLD in fibrogenesis. The role of PLD1 and PLD2 in bleomycin-induced lung epithelial injury was investigated by infecting bronchial airway epithelial cells (Beas2B) with catalytically inactive mutants of PLD (hPLD1-K898R or mPld2-K758R) or downregulation of expression of PLD1 or PLD2 with siRNA. Bleomycin stimulated mitochondrial (mt) superoxide production, mtDNA damage, and apoptosis in Beas2B cells, which was attenuated by the catalytically inactive mutants of PLD or PLD2 siRNA. These results show a role for PLD1 and PLD2 in bleomycin-induced generation of mt reactive oxygen species, mt DNA damage, and apoptosis of lung epithelial cells in mice. Thus, PLD may be a novel therapeutic target in ameliorating experimental PF in mice.

Abstract
We sought to determine the mechanism by which angiotensin II (ANGII) stimulates NADPH oxidase-mediated superoxide (O2 .- ) production in bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (BPASMCs). ANGII-induced increase in phospholipase D (PLD) and NADPH oxidase activities were inhibited upon pretreatment of the cells with chemical and genetic inhibitors of PLD2, but not PLD1. Immunoblot study revealed that ANGII treatment of the cells markedly increases protein kinase C-α (PKC-α), -δ, -ε, and -ζ levels in the cell membrane. Pretreatment of the cells with chemical and genetic inhibitors of PKC-ζ, but not PKC-α, -δ, and -ε, attenuated ANGII-induced increase in NADPH oxidase activity without a discernible change in PLD activity. Transfection of the cells with p47phox small interfering RNA inhibited ANGII-induced increase in NADPH oxidase activity without a significant change in PLD activity. Pretreatment of the cells with the chemical and genetic inhibitors of PLD2 and PKC-ζ inhibited ANGII-induced p47phox phosphorylation and subsequently translocation from cytosol to the cell membrane, and also inhibited its association with p22phox (a component of membrane-associated NADPH oxidase). Overall, PLD-PKCζ-p47phox signaling axis plays a crucial role in ANGII-induced increase in NADPH oxidase-mediated O2 .- production in the cells.

Abstract
The development of molecular biology has led to the identification of protein-based therapeutics as an intriguing approach for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. To manufacture transcellular protein delivery shuttles, we attempted charge reversal chemistry on native proteins [e.g., superoxide dismutase (SOD): an enzyme capable of scavenging detrimental reactive oxygen species] by the selective conversion of the positively charged amino residues of native SOD to conjugated negatively charged citraconic moieties, eliciting overall negatively charged polyelectrolytes for the subsequent electrostatic self-assembly with cationic metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives into protein delivery systems. Please note that the charge conversion was reversible, restoring the original amino groups in intracellular acidic endosome compartments (pH 5), which afforded facile charge reversible functions to reclaim the active SOD in the cell interior. In particular, the strategic manufacture of dendritic MOF supramolecular architectures as transcellular shuttles for the aforementioned charge-reversible SOD derivatives is noteworthy. The MOF was surface-functionalized with several polycationic segments, thus contributing to the hyper-charged architecture for the easy accommodation of the negatively charged SOD derivatives. Consequently, the SOD derivatives managed to internalize into cells by hitchhiking via endocytosis of the positively charged MOF. Once they resided in the acidic endosomes, the charge reversal of the SOD derivatives could occur smoothly and result in reduced interactions between the charged-reversed SOD and MOF, leading to the release of active SOD. Simultaneously, the dendritic MOF due to protein release presented a highly positive-charged architecture to provoke endosome membrane disruption, consequently spurring the translocation of SOD to the cytosol for the execution of its enzymatic activities. Herein, the intracellular ROS level of the activated macrophages was validated to be markedly suppressed by our proposed transcellular SOD shuttles, thereby indicating their wide availability to diverse functional proteins for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Carcinogenesis is a very complex process in which metals have been found to be critically involved. In this sense, a disturbed redox status and metal dyshomeostasis take place during the onset and progression of cancer, and it is well-known that trace elements participate in the activation or inhibition of enzymatic reactions and metalloproteins, in which they usually participate as cofactors. Until now, the role of metals in cancer have been studied as an effect, establishing that cancer onset and progression affects the disturbance of the natural chemical form of the essential elements in the metabolism. However, it has also been studied as a cause, giving insights related to the high exposure of metals giving a place to the carcinogenic process. On the other hand, the chemical species of the metal or metallobiomolecule is very important, since it finally affects the biological activity or the toxicological potential of the element and their mobility across different biological compartments. Moreover, the importance of metal homeostasis and metals interactions in biology has also been demonstrated, and the ratios between some elements were found to be different in cancer patients; however, the interplay of elements is rarely reported. This review focuses on the critical role of metals in lung cancer, which is one of the most insidious forms of cancer, with special attention to the analytical approaches and pitfalls to extract metals and their species from tissues and biofluids, determining the ratios of metals, obtaining classification profiles, and finally defining the metallome of lung cancer.

Abstract
Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels largely determine pulmonary fibrosis. Antioxidants have been found to ameliorate lung fibrosis after long-term paraquat (PQ) exposure. The effects of antioxidants, however, on the signalling pathways involved in PQ-induced lung fibrosis have not yet been investigated sufficiently. Here, we examined the impacts of ligustrazin on lung fibrosis, in particular ROS-related autophagy and pro-fibrotic signalling pathways, using a murine model of PQ-induced lung fibrosis. Methods We explored the effects of microRNA-193 (miR-193a) on Hedgehog (Hh) and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling and oxidative stress in lung tissues. Levels of miR-193a, protein kinase B (Akt), phosphoinositide 3-Kinase (PI3K), ceclin1, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), sonic hedgehog (SHH), myosin-like Bcl2 interacting protein (LC3), smoothened (Smo), and glioma-associated oncogene-1 (Gli-1) mRNAs were determined with quantitative real-time PCR. Protein levels of PI3K, p-mTOR, p-Akt, SHH, beclin1, gGli-1, LC3, smo, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), mothers against DPP homologue-2 (Smad2), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), collagen I, collagen III, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) nuclear factor erythroid 2p45-related factor-2 (Nrf2), and p-Smad2 were detected by western blotting. In addition, α-SMA, malondialdehyde, ROS, superoxide dismutase (SOD), oxidised and reduced glutathione, hydroxyproline, and overall collagen levels were identified in lung tissues using immunohistochemistry. Results Long-term PQ exposure blocked miR-193a expression, reduced PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling, increased oxidative stress, inhibited autophagy, increased Hh signalling, and facilitated the formation of pulmonary fibrosis. Ligustrazin blocked PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Hh signalling as well as reduced oxidative stress via increasing miR-193a expression and autophagy, all of which reduced pulmonary fibrosis. These effects of ligustrazin were accompanied by reduced TGF-β1, CTGF, and Collagen I and III expression. Conclusions Ligustrazin blocked PQ-induced PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Hh signalling by increasing miR-193a expression, thereby attenuating PQ-induced lung fibrosis.

Abstract
Bleomycin is a commonly used cancer therapeutic that is associated with oxidative stress leading to pulmonary toxicity. Bleomycin has been used in animal studies to model pulmonary fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pulmonary hypertension secondary to interstitial lung disease. The toxicity with bleomycin is initiated by direct oxidative damage, which then leads to subsequent inflammation and fibrosis mediated by generation of both extracellular ROS and intracellular ROS. While most studies focus on the intracellular ROS implicated in TGFβ signaling and fibrosis, the changes in the extracellular redox environment, particularly with the initiation of early inflammation, is also critical to the pathogenesis of bleomycin induced injury and fibrosis. In this review, we focus on the role of extracellular redox environment in bleomycin toxicity, with attention to the generation of extracellular ROS, alterations in the redox state of extracellular thiols, and the central role of the extracellular isoform of superoxide dismutase in the development of bleomycin induced injury and fibrosis.

Abstract
Six Mn-Schiff base complexes, [Mn(X-salpn)]0/+ (salpn = 1,3-bis(sal-ic-ylidenamino)propane, X = H [1], 5-Cl [2], 2,5-F2 [3], 3,5-Cl2 [4], 5-NO2 [5], 3,5-(NO2)2 [6]), were synthesized and characterized in solution, and second-sphere effects on their electrochemical and spectroscopic properties were analyzed. The six complexes catalyze the dismutation of superoxide with catalytic rate constants in the range 0.65 to 1.54 × 106 M-1 s-1 obtained through the nitro blue tetrazolium photoreduction inhibition superoxide dismutases assay, in aqueous medium of pH 7.8. In solution, these compounds possess two labile solvent molecules in the axial positions favoring coordination of the highly nucleophilic O2 •- to the metal center. Even complex 5, [Mn(5-(NO2)salpn) (OAc) (H2O)], with an axial acetate in the solid state, behaves as a 1:1 electrolyte in methanolic solution. Electron paramagnetic resonance and UV-vis monitoring of the reaction of [Mn(X-salpn)]0/+ with KO2 demonstrates that in diluted solutions these complexes behave as catalysts supporting several additions of excess O2 •-, but at high complex concentrations (≥0.75 mM) catalyst self-inhibition occurs by the formation of a catalytically inactive dimer. The correlation of spectroscopic, electrochemical, and kinetics data suggest that second-sphere effects control the oxidation states of Mn involved in the O2 •- dismutation cycle catalyzed by complexes 1-6 and modulate the strength of the Mn-substrate adduct for electron-transfer through an inner-sphere mechanism.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 510:329-333.

Abstract
Specific study about the inhibitory effect of costunolide (CN) and relevant mechanism is of great significance for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Here, the pharmacological activity of costunolide on the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis was investigated in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo mice study, mice were received intratracheal injection of bleomycin (BLM, 5 mg/kg) on 0 day to obtain BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis firstly. From 2 day to 21 day, mice were orally administered with different dose of CN (low dose(CNL): 10 mg/kg, high dose(CNH): 20 mg/kg) and pirfenidone (PFD)(positive control, 50 mg/kg). The in vitro cells model, cells were incubated with recombinant human TGF-β1 for 24 h to get TGF-β1-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Cells were treated differently for 24 h and divided into five groups. Then, the activity of CN was evaluated by the expression level of related protein and the factors of oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro, and the mechanism was tested from the involved channel protein aspect. As a result, from the comparison of multiple factors (α-SMA, collagen type I/III, HYP, MDA, SOD) between pirfenidone group and CN group, it revealed the beneficial effects of CN against BLM-induced and TGF-β1-induced pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, our study also proved that CN exerted its effects through suppressing the NF-kB dependent inflammation and regulated TGF-β1/Smad2/ NOX4-Nrf2 signaling pathways. In conclusion, CN could be a potential theraputic candidate for the treatment pulmonary fibrosis in the future.
