Abstract
Background Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease associated with increased development of metabolic abnormalities including obesity and dyslipidemia, as well as increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Shared pathophysiological mechanisms linking psoriasis to CVD include altered immune activation, elevated chronic systemic inflammation, and lipoprotein dysfunction characterized by oxidative damage to lipids and apolipoproteins. Objective This review aims to provide evidence-based proof for existing relationships between psoriatic inflammation, lipid oxidation, and increased CVD risk. Methods We included review articles and original research papers, published between 1980 and 2020, using the following key words: psoriasis, oxidized lipids, oxidation, dyslipidemia, and inflammation. Results Systemic inflammation underlying psoriasis leads to increased skin accumulation of pro-inflammatory oxidized lipids, derived from the omega-6 fatty acids, along with counteracting anti-inflammatory lipid mediators, products of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Imbalance in these metabolites culminates in impaired inflammation resolution and results in multisystemic biological alterations. Sustained systemic inflammation results in excessive lipid oxidation, generating proatherogenic oxidized low- and high-density lipoproteins. Together, these pathophysiological mechanisms contribute to increased CVD risk associated with psoriasis disease. Conclusion Available anti-inflammatory treatment showed promising clinical results in treating psoriasis, although further research is warranted on managing associated dyslipidemia and establishing novel cardiometabolic markers specific for both skin and vascular pathology.

Abstract
We evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics of AZD4831, a novel oral myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitor, in a randomized, single‐blind, placebo‐controlled study, following once‐daily multiple ascending dosing to steady‐state in healthy subjects. Target engagement was measured as specific MPO activity in plasma following ex vivo zymosan stimulation of whole blood. Except for generalized maculopapular rash in 4 of 13 subjects receiving the 2 highest doses, 15 and 45 mg AZD4831, no clinically relevant safety and tolerability findings were observed. AZD4831 was rapidly absorbed and plasma concentrations declined slowly with an elimination half‐life of ~ 60 hours. A dose/concentration‐effect relationship between MPO inhibition vs. AZD4831 exposure was established with > 50% MPO inhibition in plasma at concentrations in the low nanomolar range. Steady‐state levels were achieved within 10 days. Taken together, the PK profile, the sustained dose/concentration‐dependent MPO inhibition, and available clinical data support further clinical development of AZD4831 in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a vital component of the innate immune system, which produces the potent oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl) to kill invading pathogens. However, an overproduction of HOCl during chronic inflammatory conditions causes damage to host cells, which promotes disease, including atherosclerosis. As such, there is increasing interest in the use of thiocyanate (SCN-) therapeutically to decrease inflammatory disease, as SCN- is the favoured substrate for MPO, and a potent competitive inhibitor of HOCl formation. Use of SCN- by MPO forms hypothiocyanous acid (HOSCN), which can be less damaging to mammalian cells. In this study, we examined the ability of SCN- to modulate damage to macrophages induced by HOCl, which is relevant to lesion formation in atherosclerosis. Addition of SCN- prevented HOCl-mediated cell death, altered the extent and nature of thiol oxidation and the phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinases. These changes were dependent on the concentration of SCN- and were observed in some cases, at a sub-stoichiometric ratio of SCN-: HOCl. Co-treatment with SCN- also modulated HOCl-induced perturbations in the expression of various antioxidant and inflammatory genes. In general, the data reflect the conversion of HOCl to HOSCN, which can induce reversible modifications that are repairable by cells. However, our data also highlight the ability of HOSCN to increase pro-inflammatory gene expression and cytokine/chemokine release, which may be relevant to the use of SCN- therapeutically in atherosclerosis. Overall, this study provides further insight into the cellular pathways by which SCN- could exert protective effects on supplementation to decrease the development of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Significance: Pulmonary neurophilic inflammation (PNI) is the homing and activation of neutrophil with damage to the microvasculature. This process is involved in pulmonary damage in patients exposed to airborne pollutants (exogenous stressors) and also to systemic inflammation/oxidative stress (endogenous stressors) associated with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Recent Advances: PNI is an important trigger of the early onset and progression of NCD in susceptible patients exposed to airborne pollutants. Irritation of the lung microvasculature by exogenous and endogenous stressors causes PNI. Circulating endogenous stressors in NCD can cause PNI. Critical Issues: Air pollution-triggered PNI causes increased circulating endogenous stressors that can trigger NCD in susceptible patients. Systemic inflammation/oxidative stress associated with NCD can cause PNI. Inflammation/end-oxidation products of macromolecules are also potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for NCD-triggered PNI- and PNI-triggered NCD. Future Directions: Understanding the molecular mechanism of PNI triggered by exogenous or endogenous stressors will help explain the early onset of NCD in susceptible patients exposed to air pollution. It can also help undercover biomarkers and mechanism-based therapeutic targets in air pollutant-triggered PNI, PNI-triggered NCD, and NCD-triggered PNI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronary artery disease (CAD) poses significant morbidity and mortality globally. Despite significant advances in treatment interventions, residual cardiovascular risks remain unchecked. Recent clinical trials have shed light on the potential therapeutic benefits of targeting anti-inflammatory pathways. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) plays an important role in atherosclerotic plaque formation and destabilization of the fibrous cap; both increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and especially CAD. AREAS COVERED This article examines the role of MPO in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic CAD and the mechanistic data from several key therapeutic drug targets. There have been numerous interesting studies on prototype compounds that directly or indirectly attenuate the enzymatic activities of MPO, and subsequently exhibit atheroprotective effects; these include aminobenzoic acid hydrazide, ferulic acid derivative (INV-315), thiouracil derivatives (PF-1355 and PF-06282999), 2-thioxanthines derivative (AZM198), triazolopyrimidines, acetaminophen, N-acetyl lysyltyrosylcysteine (KYC), flavonoids, and alternative substrates such as thiocyanate and nitroxide radical. EXPERT OPINION Future investigations must determine if the cardiovascular benefits of direct systemic inhibition of MPO outweigh the risk of immune dysfunction, which may be less likely to arise with alternative substrates or MPO inhibitors that selectively attenuate atherogenic effects of MPO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an important oxidative enzyme participating in different stages of cardiovascular disease and predicts prognosis. Little is known about its role in acute cerebrovascular events and carotid plaque vulnerability. In this study, the aim was to assess plasma MPO levels in acute stroke patients and their correlation to stroke severity and stroke outcome. METHODS Plasma MPO levels were assessed in patients presenting with acute brain ischaemia within 36 h of symptom onset (n = 144, mean age 64.7 ± 11.6 years, 67% men) and in patients with moderate-to-severe carotid stenosis undergoing carotid artery stenting (n = 51, mean age 66.3 ± 8.4 years, 75% men). Patients presenting with acute brain ischaemia were assessed serially for stroke severity and disability. RESULTS Plasma MPO concentrations (ng/ml) were associated with interleukin-6 (r = 0.38, P < 0.0001) and gender (median interquartile range) of 68.6 (49.8-107.0) vs. 59.7 (42.7-85.5) in women vs. men (P = 0.02). In acute brain ischaemia, MPO concentrations were associated with non-lacunar subtype (bottom, middle and top tertiles 37.5%, 71.7% and 71.7% respectively; P = 0.001), with stroke severity (baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score > 10, bottom, middle and top tertiles 6.3%, vs. 41.7% and 31.3%, respectively; P < 0.006) as well as with stroke severity at days 1-2, days 4-5 and at discharge (P < 0.05 for all), but less with disability at discharge (modified Rankin Scale score ≥ 2, 41.7% vs. 60.4% and 58.7% for the bottom, middle and top tertiles, respectively; P = 0.096). CONCLUSIONS Amongst patients with acute brain ischaemia, plasma MPO concentrations were associated with stroke severity and non-lacunar subtype, but not with long-term functional disability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is characterized by severe bacterial infections, excessive neutrophilic inflammation and oxidative stress. The neutrophil enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), which produces hypochlorous acid, is associated with worse disease outcomes. Therefore, pharmacological inhibition of MPO in the airways has therapeutic potential. We investigated whether treating mice with an MPO inhibitor during pulmonary infection decreases oxidative stress and improves infection outcomes in mice with CF-like lung inflammation without impacting on bacterial clearance. METHODS Transgenic β-epithelial sodium channel (βENaC)-overexpressing mice (n = 10) were infected with Burkholderia multivorans and treated twice daily with the MPO inhibitor AZM198 (125 μmol/kg) or vehicle administered by oral gavage for two days. Bodyweight was recorded daily. MPO activity, markers of oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines and leukocytes numbers were measured in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Bacterial burden was determined in lung tissue homogenates. RESULTS During the course of infection, mice treated with AZM198 lost less weight than vehicle-treated mice (p < 0.01). MPO activity and glutathione sulfonamide, a hypochlorous acid-specific glutathione oxidation product, were significantly lower in BALF from AZM198-treated mice (p < 0.05). The inflammatory cytokines CXCL1 and TNF-α in BALF and bacterial burden in the lung were not significantly different between treated and control mice. CONCLUSIONS Orally administered AZM198 inhibits MPO activity in epithelial lining fluid. Blocking hypochlorous acid production in epithelial lining fluid during pulmonary infections through inhibition of MPO improves morbidity in mice with CF-like lung inflammation without interfering with clearance of bacteria. Pharmacological inhibition of MPO is an approach to limit destructive oxidative stress in cystic fibrosis lung disease in humans.

Abstract
The GlycA test is a recently developed proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy-based assay that has been gaining increased interest as a serum biomarker for systemic inflammation, and consequently, as a potential biomarker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment. The test has undergone investigation in several large cohort studies, since its development, to assess its predictive value for incident CVD events, CVD-associated mortality, and all-cause mortality. Despite variation in the generated estimates by these studies, they have all consistently demonstrated moderate-strength positive correlations between baseline GlycA levels, and incident CVD event rates and associated mortality. These correlations withheld testing even after adjusting for several other established CVD risk factors, including notable inflammatory biomarkers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Compared with hsCRP, which is a well-known inflammatory biomarker for CVD risk assessment, GlycA has a comparable predictive value for future CVD-related events. However, the indications to pursue GlycA testing, and its clinical utility in patient care management, are yet to be determined. In this review, we define the GlycA test and what it "measures", and provide a brief summary of the findings of studies showing its association with incident CVD rates, and CVD-related mortality, as well as its correlation with other inflammatory biomarkers, namely hsCRP. Finally, we highlight the analytical advantages of the GlycA test, compared with "traditional" inflammatory biomarkers, while also mentioning its current limitations.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is positively associated with obesity and diet-induced insulin resistance. Angiopoietin-like protein 6 (ANGPTL6) regulates metabolic processes and counteract obesity through increased energy expenditure. This study aims to evaluate the plasma MPO and ANGPTL6 levels in obese and diabetic individuals as well as MPO association with biochemical markers of obesity. A total of 238 participants were enrolled, including 137 control and 101 type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. ANGPTL6 and MPO levels and other biomarkers were measured via ELISA. ANGPTL6 levels were significantly higher in the diabetic population and obese individuals. When the group was stratified based on T2D, ANGPTL6 levels were significantly higher in obese-diabetic participants compared with non-obese-diabetics, but obese-non-diabetic individuals had similar ANGPTL6 levels to their controls. MPO levels were higher in obese compared with non-obese participants but did not differ between T2D and control participants. MPO levels were upregulated in obese compared with non-obese in both diabetics and non-diabetics. MPO was positively associated with ANGPTL6, triglyceride, BMI, TNF-alpha, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. Taken together, our findings suggest that both MPO and ANGPTL6 may regulate obesity, although MPO exerts this effect independent of diabetes while ANGPTL6 may have a modulatory role in diabetes.

Abstract
Oxidative stress resulting from accumulation of reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and halogen species (ROS, RNS, and RHS, respectively) causes the damage of cells and biomolecules. However, over the long evolutionary time, living organisms have developed the mechanisms for adaptation to oxidative stress conditions including the activity of the antioxidant system (AOS), which maintains low intracellular levels of RONS (ROS and RNS) and RHS. Moreover, living organisms have adapted to use low concentrations of these electrophiles for the regulation of cell functions through the reversible post-translational chemical modifications of redox-sensitive amino acid residues in intracellular effectors of signal transduction pathways (protein kinases and protein phosphatases), transcription factors, etc. An important fine-tuning mechanism that ensures involvement of RONS and RHS in the regulation of physiological processes is interconversion between different reactive species. This review focuses on the complex networks of interacting RONS and RHS types and their endogenous sources, such as NOX family of NADPH oxidases, complexes I and III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, NO synthases, cytochrome P450-containing monooxygenase system, xanthine oxidoreductase, and myeloperoxidases. We highlight that kinetic parameters of reactions involving RONS and RHS determine the effects of these reactive species on cell functions. We also describe the functioning of enzymatic and non-enzymatic AOS components and the mechanisms of RONS and RHS scavenging under physiological conditions. We believe that analysis of interactions between RONS and relationships between different endogenous sources of these compounds will contribute to better understanding of their role in the maintenance of cell redox homeostasis as well as initiation and progression of diseases.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation impacts the development and function of innate immune cells. The glycophenotypes and the glycan remodelling associated with the maturation of macrophages from monocytic precursor populations remain incompletely described. Herein, label-free porous graphitised carbon–liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (PGC-LC-MS/MS) was employed to profile with high resolution the N- and O-glycome associated with human monocyte-to-macrophage transition. Primary blood-derived CD14+ monocytes were differentiated ex vivo in the absence of strong anti- and proinflammatory stimuli using a conventional 7-day granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor differentiation protocol with longitudinal sampling. Morphology and protein expression monitored by light microscopy and proteomics validated the maturation process. Glycomics demonstrated that monocytes and macrophages display similar N-glycome profiles, comprising predominantly paucimannosidic (Man1-3GlcNAc2Fuc0–1, 22.1–30.8%), oligomannosidic (Man5-9GlcNAc2, 29.8–35.7%) and α2,3/6-sialylated complex-type N-glycans with variable core fucosylation (27.6–39.1%). Glycopeptide analysis validated conjugation of these glycans to human proteins, while quantitative proteomics monitored the glycoenzyme expression levels during macrophage differentiation. Significant interperson glycome variations were observed suggesting a considerable physiology-dependent or heritable heterogeneity of CD14+ monocytes. Only few N-glycome changes correlated with the monocyte-to-macrophage transition across donors including decreased core fucosylation and reduced expression of mannose-terminating (paucimannosidic-/oligomannosidic-type) N-glycans in macrophages, while lectin flow cytometry indicated that more dramatic cell surface glycan remodelling occurs during maturation. The less heterogeneous core 1-rich O-glycome showed a minor decrease in core 2-type O-glycosylation but otherwise remained unchanged with macrophage maturation. This high-resolution glycome map underpinning normal monocyte-to-macrophage transition, the most detailed to date, aids our understanding of the molecular makeup pertaining to two vital innate immune cell types and forms an important reference for future glycoimmunological studies.

Abstract
KEY POINTS It was unknown whether respiratory alkalosis impacts the global cerebral metabolic response as well as the cerebral pro-oxidation and inflammatory response in passive hyperthermia. This study demonstrated that the cerebral metabolic rate was increased by ∼20% with passive hyperthermia of up to +2°C oesophageal temperature, and this response was unaffected by respiratory alkalosis. Additionally, the increase in cerebral metabolism did not significantly impact the net cerebral release of oxidative and inflammatory markers. These data indicate that passive heating of up to +2°C core temperature in healthy young men is not enough to confer a major oxidative and inflammatory burden on the brain, but it does markedly increase the cerebral metabolic rate, independently of P aC O 2 . ABSTRACT There is limited information concerning the impact of arterial P C O 2 /pH on heat-induced alteration in cerebral metabolism, as well as on the cerebral oxidative/inflammatory burden of hyperthermia. Accordingly, we sought to address two hypotheses: (1) passive hyperthermia will increase the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2 ) consistent with a combined influence of Q10 and respiratory alkalosis; and (2) the net cerebral release of pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory markers will be elevated in hyperthermia, particularly in poikilocapnic hyperthermia. Healthy young men (n = 6) underwent passive heating until an oesophageal temperature of 2°C above resting was reached. At 0.5°C increments in core temperature, CMRO2 was calculated from the product of cerebral blood flow (ultrasound) and the radial artery-jugular venous oxygen content difference (cannulation). Net cerebral glucose/lactate exchange, and biomarkers of oxidative and inflammatory stress were also measured. At +2.0°C oesophageal temperature, arterial P C O 2 was restored to normothermic values using end-tidal forcing. The primary findings were: (1) while CMRO2 was increased (P < 0.05) by ∼20% with hyperthermia of +1.5-2.0°C, this was not influenced by respiratory alkalosis, and (2) although biomarkers of pro-oxidation and pro-inflammation were systemically elevated in hyperthermia (P < 0.05), there were no differences in the trans-cerebral exchange kinetics. These novel data indicate that passive heating of up to +2°C core temperature in healthy young men is not enough to confer a major oxidative and inflammatory burden on the brain, despite it markedly increasing CMRO2 , irrespective of arterial pH.

Abstract
COMP-4, a nutraceutical combination consisting of ginger rhizome, muira puama, Paullinia cupana, and L-citrulline, enhances intracellular nitric oxide (NO) production by the corporal smooth muscle cells (CSMC). This study aims to determine if the previously shown beneficial effect of COMP-4 on the histology and function of the aging penis is associated with an antioxidative effect from endogenously produced NO. Ten-month-old male rats were treated daily for 2 months with COMP-4 or vehicle at which time the corpora and penile dorsal artery (PDA) were evaluated by immunohistochemistry for (a) apoptosis (b) proliferative cell nuclear antigen, (c) heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), (d) myeloperoxidase (MPO), and (e) nitrotyrosine (NT). CSMC were cultured and incubated with COMP-4 in order to determine intracellular oxidative stress via the GSH/GSSG ratio. In both the corpora and PDA, daily treatment with COMP-4 resulted in an increase in both smooth muscle cell proliferation and HO-1 expression as well as a decrease in MPO. There was no change in either apoptosis or NT expression. In the CSMC cell culture, treatment with COMP-4 increased the intracellular GSH/GSSG ratio. COMP-4 appears to have an antioxidant effect on the aging vascular smooth muscle cells both in the corpora and peripheral vasculature.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Over the past 2 decades, increasing research attention is converging on the early detection and monitoring of atherosclerotic plaque. Among several invasive and noninvasive imaging modalities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as a promising option. Advantages include its versatility, excellent soft tissue contrast for plaque characterization and lack of ionizing radiation. In this review, we will explore the recent advances in multicontrast and multiparametric imaging sequences that are bringing the aspiration of simultaneous arterial lumen, vessel wall, and plaque characterization closer to clinical feasibility. We also discuss the latest advances in molecular magnetic resonance and multimodal atherosclerosis imaging.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The performed study focused on determining the effect of vitamin D supplementation on enzymes involved in both inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and ROS degradation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS The 6-month follow-up, randomized, controlled study included 140 patients with T2DM, ≥ 30 years old, with good metabolic control, treated with metformin and lifestyle advice only. All patients were randomly assigned to two groups (70 each). Patients from the first group (Intervention group) were assigned to receive vitamin D3 50 000 IU or 14 000 IU regarding their vitamin D baseline levels. Patients from the second (Metformin) group continued to receive only metformin during the 6-month study period. RESULTS After 6 months, the myeloperoxidase activity was significantly lower and gradually decreased in the Intervention group by about 40%, compared to the baseline measurement (p = 0.015) and compared to the Metformin group (p = 0.001). After 6 months, the xanthine oxidase (XO) activity decreased significantly in the Intervention group compared to the baseline and 3rd month levels (p < 0.001). In the Metformin group there was also a significant decrease in XO after 6 months compared to baseline (p < 0.001) and the 3rd month (p = 0.003). The catalase activity significantly increased within the Intervention group only when comparing the 3rd and 6th month (p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that vitamin D may improve endothelial dysfunction in patients with T2DM on metformin therapy by influencing two important factors implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications - ROS production and inflammation, which can additionally contribute to a stable metabolic control during metformin therapy.

Abstract
The composition of the bacterial community affects the intestinal health and growth performance of broiler chickens. The main purpose of this study was to explore the effects of flavomycin and colistin sulfate on the resistance to Salmonella typhimurium infection, ileal bacteria and intestinal health. In total, 396 1-day-old broiler chickens were randomly divided into six groups. Two groups were fed each one of the diets-the control diet (CON), the flavomycin at 10 mg/kg diet (AntiG+), and the colistin sulfate at 40 mg/kg diet (AntiG-), for 5 days. Then, one of each of the two groups was challenged with S. typhimurium on the 8th day; these were named CONS, AntiG+S and AntiG-S, respectively. The results showed that S. typhimurium significantly reduced the feed intake and body weight gain, and increased the feed conversion ratio (p < 0.05). It also increased the inflammatory expressions of NF-κB and MyD88 genes (p < 0.05); and reduced the expressions of claudin-1, occludin and mucin-2 (p < 0.05) tight junction genes in the intestines. S. typhimurium significantly reduced ileal bacterial diversity indexes of observed-species, chao1 and Shannon (p < 0.05). Compared with AntiG+S group, AntiG-S group increased the body weight gain of broiler chickens (p < 0.05), reduced the expression of inflammatory genes (p < 0.05) and intestinal permeability to fluorescein isothiocyanate (p < 0.05). AntiG-S group also improved the ileal bacterial diversity indexes of observed-species and Shannon (p < 0.05). There were many significant correlations between intestinal bacteria, intestinal gene expressions and intestinal morphology (p < 0.05). This study indicated that pre-constructed AntiG- bacteria could against a S. typhimurium infection by inhibiting the expressions of intestinal inflammation genes and increasing the diversity of intestinal bacteria.

Abstract
Various internal and external factors negatively affect the homeostatic equilibrium of organisms at the molecular to the whole-body level, inducing the so-called state of stress. Stress affects an organism's welfare status and induces energy-consuming mechanisms to combat the subsequent ill effects; thus, the individual may be immunocompromised, making them vulnerable to pathogens. The information presented here has been extensively reviewed, compiled, and analyzed from authenticated published resources available on Medline, PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct, and other scientific databases. Stress levels can be monitored by the quantitative and qualitative measurement of biomarkers. Potential markers of stress include thermal stress markers, such as heat shock proteins (HSPs), innate immune markers, such as Acute Phase Proteins (APPs), oxidative stress markers, and chemical secretions in the saliva and urine. In addition, stress biomarkers also play critical roles in the prognosis of stress-related diseases and disorders, and therapy guidance. Moreover, different components have been identified as potent mediators of cardiovascular, central nervous system, hepatic, and nephrological disorders, which can also be employed to evaluate these conditions precisely, but with stringent validation and specificity. Considerable scientific advances have been made in the detection, quantitation, and application of these biomarkers. The present review describes the current progress of identifying biomarkers, their prognostic, and therapeutic values.

Abstract
Various internal and external factors negatively affect the homeostatic equilibrium of organisms at the molecular to the whole-body level, inducing the so-called state of stress. Stress affects an organism's welfare status and induces energy-consuming mechanisms to combat the subsequent ill effects; thus, the individual may be immunocompromised, making them vulnerable to pathogens. The information presented here has been extensively reviewed, compiled, and analyzed from authenticated published resources available on Medline, PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct, and other scientific databases. Stress levels can be monitored by the quantitative and qualitative measurement of biomarkers. Potential markers of stress include thermal stress markers, such as heat shock proteins (HSPs), innate immune markers, such as Acute Phase Proteins (APPs), oxidative stress markers, and chemical secretions in the saliva and urine. In addition, stress biomarkers also play critical roles in the prognosis of stress-related diseases and disorders, and therapy guidance. Moreover, different components have been identified as potent mediators of cardiovascular, central nervous system, hepatic, and nephrological disorders, which can also be employed to evaluate these conditions precisely, but with stringent validation and specificity. Considerable scientific advances have been made in the detection, quantitation, and application of these biomarkers. The present review describes the current progress of identifying biomarkers, their prognostic, and therapeutic values.

Abstract
Products of lipid peroxidation include a number of reactive lipid aldehydes such as malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxy-nonenal, 4-oxo-nonenal, and isolevuglandins (IsoLGs). Although these all contribute to disease processes, the most reactive are the IsoLGs, which rapidly adduct to lysine and other cellular primary amines, leading to changes in protein function, cross-linking and immunogenicity. Their rapid reactivity means that only IsoLG adducts, and not the unreacted aldehyde, can be readily measured. This high reactivity also makes it challenging for standard cellular defense mechanisms such as aldehyde reductases and oxidases to dispose of them before they react with proteins and other cellular amines. This led us to seek small molecule primary amines that might trap and inactivate IsoLGs before they could modify cellular proteins or other endogenous cellular amines such as phosphatidylethanolamines to cause disease. Our studies identified 2-aminomethylphenols including 2-hydroxybenzylamine as IsoLG scavengers. Subsequent studies showed that they also trap other lipid dicarbonyls that react with primary amines such as 4-oxo-nonenal and malondialdehyde, but not hydroxyalkenals like 4-hydroxy-nonenal that preferentially react with soft nucleophiles. This review describes the use of these 2-aminomethylphenols as dicarbonyl scavengers to assess the contribution of IsoLGs and other amine-reactive lipid dicarbonyls to disease and as therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Aberrant innate immune response drives the pathophysiology of many diseases. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a highly oxidative enzyme secreted by activated myeloid pro-inflammatory immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, and is a key mediator of the damaging innate immune response. Current technologies for detecting MPO activity in living organisms are sparse and suffer from any combination of low specificity, low tissue penetration, or low spatial resolution. We describe a versatile imaging platform to detect MPO activity using an activatable construct conjugated to a biotin moiety (MPO-activatable biotinylated sensor, MABS) that allows monitoring the innate immune response and its modulation at different scales and settings. Methods:We designed and synthesized MABS that contains MPO-specific and biotin moieties, and validated its specificity and sensitivity combining with streptavidin-labeled fluorescent agent and gold nanoparticles imaging in vitro and in vivo in multiple mouse models of inflammation and infection, including Matrigel implant, dermatitis, cellulitis, cerebritis and complete Fraud's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammation. Results: MABS MPO imaging non-invasively detected varying MPO concentrations, MPO inhibition, and MPO deficiency in vivo with high sensitivity and specificity. MABS can be used to obtain not only a fluorescence imaging agent, but also a CT imaging agent, conferring molecular activity information to a structural imaging modality. Importantly, using this method on tissue-sections, we found that MPO enzymatic activity does not always co-localize with MPO protein detected with conventional techniques (e.g., immunohistochemistry), underscoring the importance of monitoring enzymatic activity. Conclusion:By choosing from different available secondary probes, MABS can be used to create systems suitable to investigate and image MPO activity at different scales and settings.

Iodide modulates protein damage induced by the inflammation-associated heme enzyme myeloperoxidase. Redox Biol 2019; 28:101331.

Abstract
Iodide ions (I-) are an essential dietary mineral, and crucial for mental and physical development, fertility and thyroid function. I- is also a high affinity substrate for the heme enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), which is involved in bacterial cell killing during the immune response, and also host tissue damage during inflammation. In the presence of H2O2 and Cl-, MPO generates the powerful oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl), with excessive formation of this species linked to multiple inflammatory diseases. In this study, we have examined the hypothesis that elevated levels of I- would decrease HOCl formation and thereby protein damage induced by a MPO/Cl-/H2O2 system, by acting as a competitive substrate. The presence of increasing I- concentrations (0.1-10 μM; i.e. within the range readily achievable by oral supplementation in humans), decreased damage to both model proteins and extracellular matrix components as assessed by gross structural changes (SDS-PAGE), antibody recognition of parent and modified protein epitopes (ELISA), and quantification of both parent amino acid loss (UPLC) and formation of the HOCl-biomarker 3-chlorotyrosine (LC-MS) (reduced by ca. 50% at 10 μM I-). Elevated levels of I- ( > 1 μM) also protected against functional changes as assessed by a decreased loss of adhesion (eg. 40% vs. < 22% with >1 μM I-) of primary human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs), to MPO-modified human plasma fibronectin. These data indicate that low micromolar concentrations of I-, which can be readily achieved in humans and are readily tolerated, may afford protection against cell and tissue damage induced by MPO.

Abstract
It has been proposed that a chronic state of inflammation correlated with aging known as inflammaging, is implicated in multiple disease states commonly observed in the elderly population. Inflammaging is associated with over-abundance of reactive oxygen species in the cell, which can lead to oxidation and damage of cellular components, increased inflammation, and activation of cell death pathways. This review focuses on inflammaging and its contribution to various age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Recently published mechanistic details of the roles of reactive oxygen species in inflammaging and various diseases will also be discussed. Advancements in potential treatments to ameliorate inflammaging, oxidative stress, and consequently, reduce the morbidity of multiple disease states will be explored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and new treatment strategies are highly sought-after. Paradoxically, reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium, as achieved with early percutaneous intervention, results in substantial damage to the heart (ischemia/reperfusion injury) caused by cell death due to aggravated inflammatory and oxidative stress responses. Chronic therapy with vitamin E is not effective in reducing the cardiovascular event rate, presumably through failing to reduce atherosclerotic plaque instability. Notably, acute treatment with vitamin E in patients suffering a MI has not been systematically investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS We applied alpha-tocopherol (α-TOH), the strongest anti-oxidant form of vitamin E, in murine cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 60 min. α-TOH significantly reduced infarct size, restored cardiac function as measured by ejection fraction, fractional shortening, cardiac output, and stroke volume, and prevented pathological changes as assessed by state-of-the-art strain and strain-rate analysis. Cardioprotective mechanisms identified, include a decreased infiltration of neutrophils into cardiac tissue and a systemic anti-inflammatory shift from Ly6Chigh to Ly6Clow monocytes. Furthermore, we found a reduction in myeloperoxidase expression and activity, as well as a decrease in reactive oxygen species and the lipid peroxidation markers phosphatidylcholine (PC) (16:0)-9-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE) and PC(16:0)-13-HODE) within the infarcted tissue. CONCLUSION Overall, α-TOH inhibits ischemia/reperfusion injury-induced oxidative and inflammatory responses, and ultimately preserves cardiac function. Therefore, our study provides a strong incentive to test vitamin E as an acute therapy in patients suffering a MI.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) has been recognized as the primary receptor for carbamylated low-density lipoproteins (cLDL) and is increasingly being viewed as a critical mediator of vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the possible role of circulating cLDL and soluble LOX-1 (sLOX-1) as potential biomarkers of metabolic syndrome (MetS) as well as of coronary artery disease (CAD) among MetS patients. Materials and Methods: The serum levels of cLDL and sLOX-1 were measured by ELISA in 30 MetS patients without CAD, 30 MetS patients with CAD, and 30 healthy controls. Results: Patients with MetS had significantly higher serum levels of both cLDL and sLOX-1 than the healthy controls but lower in comparison to MetS + CAD subjects. Serum sLOX-1 concentration correlated significantly with fasting glucose (rs = 0.414, p = 0.001) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (rs = -0.273, p = 0.035) in the whole MetS cohort, whereas it correlated with cLDL only in the MetS + CAD subgroup (rs = 0.396, p = 0.030). The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves of cLDL and sLOX-1 for MetS diagnosis had area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.761 and 0.692, respectively. AUC values of cLDL and sLOX-1 for CAD diagnosis among MetS patients were 0.811 and 0.739. Elevated serum levels of cLDL and sLOX-1 were associated with a higher risk of MetS development [odds ratio (OR) 24.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.86-104.61, p < 0.001 and OR 4.75; 95% CI: 1.58-14.25, p = 0.009] as well as with presence of CAD among MetS subjects (OR 11.23; 95% CI: 3.10-40.71, p < 0.001 and OR 4.03; 95% CI: 1.73-11.84, p = 0.019, respectively). Conclusions: The present study underscores the potential of cLDL and sLOX-1 as promising biomarkers for diagnosis and risk assessment of MetS and CAD among the MetS population.

Abstract
Objective The present study aimed to elucidate the underlying pathogenesis of Kawasaki
disease (KD) and to identify potential biomarkers for KD. Methods Gene expression profiles for the GSE68004 dataset were downloaded from the
Gene Expression Omnibus database. The pathways and functional annotations of
differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in KD were examined by Gene Ontology
and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses
using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery
(DAVID) tool. Protein–protein interactions of the above-described DEGs were
investigated using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes
(STRING). Results Gene Ontology analysis revealed that DEGs in KD were significantly enriched
in biological processes, including the inflammatory response, innate immune
response, defense response to Gram-positive bacteria, and antibacterial
humoral response. In addition, 10 hub genes with high connectivity were
selected from among these DEGs (ITGAM,
MPO, MAPK14, SLC11A1,
HIST2H2BE, ELANE,
CAMP, MMP9, NTS, and
HIST2H2AC). Conclusion The identification of several novel hub genes in KD enhances our
understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of this
disease. These genes may be potential diagnostic biomarkers and/or
therapeutic molecular targets in patients with KD. ITGAM inhibitors in
particular may be potential targets for KD therapy.

Abstract
Background and Aim Exercise is an effective strategy to reduce obesity-induced oxidative stress. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two training modalities (moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT)) on the pro/antioxidant status of different tissues in obese Zucker rats. Methods Eight-week-old male Zucker rats (fa/fa, n = 36) were subdivided in three groups: MICT, HIIT, and control (no exercise) groups. Trained animals ran on a treadmill (0° slope), 5 days/week for 10 weeks (MICT: 51 min at 12 m·min-1; HIIT: 6 sets of 3 min at 10 m·min-1 followed by 4 min at 18 m·min-1). Epididymal (visceral) and subcutaneous adipose tissue, gastrocnemius muscle, and plasma samples were collected to measure oxidative stress markers (advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)), antioxidant system markers (ferric-reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities), and prooxidant enzymes (NADPH oxidase and xanthine oxidase (XO) activities, myeloperoxidase content). Results Compared with the control, MICT increased GPx and catalase activities and the FRAP level in epididymal adipose tissue. HIIT increased the AOPP level in subcutaneous adipose tissue. In the muscle, HIIT increased both SOD and GPx activities and reduced the AOPP level, whereas MICT increased only SOD activity. Finally, plasma myeloperoxidase content was similarly decreased by both training modalities, whereas oxLDL was reduced only in the MICT group. Conclusion Both HIIT and MICT improved the pro/antioxidant status. However, HIIT was more efficient than MICT in the skeletal muscle, whereas MICT was more efficient in epididymal adipose tissue. This suggests that oxidative stress responses to HIIT and MICT are tissue-specific. This could result in ROS generation via different pathways in these tissues. From a practical point of view, the two training modalities should be combined to obtain a global response in people with obesity.

Bubb KJ, Drummond GR, Figtree GA. New opportunities for targeting redox dysregulation in cardiovascular disease. Cardiovasc Res 2019; 116:532-544. [DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvz183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2019] [Revised: 06/02/2019] [Accepted: 07/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Despite substantial promise, the use of antioxidant therapy to improve cardiovascular outcomes has been disappointing. Whilst the fundamental biology supporting their use continues to build, the challenge now is to differentially target dysregulated redox signalling domains and to identify new ways to deliver antioxidant substances. Looking further afield to other disciplines, there is an emerging ‘tool-kit’ containing sophisticated molecular and drug delivery applications. Applying these to the cardiovascular redox field could prove a successful strategy to combat the increasing disease burden. Excessive reactive oxygen species production and protein modifications in the mitochondria has been the target of successful drug development with several positive outcomes emerging in the cardiovascular space, harnessing both improved delivery mechanisms and enhanced understanding of the biological abnormalities. Using this as a blueprint, similar strategies could be applied and expanded upon in other redox-hot-spots, such as the caveolae sub-cellular region, which houses many of the key cardiovascular redox proteins such as NADPH oxidase, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, angiotensin II receptors, and beta adrenoceptors. The expanded tool kit of drug development, including gene and miRNA therapies, nanoparticle technology and micropeptide targeting, can be applied to target dysregulated redox signalling in subcellular compartments of cardiovascular cells. In this review, we consider the opportunities for improving cardiovascular outcomes by utilizing new technology platforms to target subcellular ‘bonfires’ generated by dysregulated redox pathways, to improve clinical outcomes.

Copper oxide and closantel prevent alterations in hepatic energetic metabolism and reduce inflammation in Haemonchus contortus infection. Exp Parasitol 2019; 204:107726. [PMID: 31299264 DOI: 10.1016/j.exppara.2019.107726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2019] [Revised: 06/10/2019] [Accepted: 07/05/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The aims of this study were to evaluate if the use of copper oxide wire particles, isolated or in association with closantel, in lambs infected with Haemonchus contortus enhances the anthelmintic efficacy of closantel, as well as to evaluate the effects of treatment in hepatic energy metabolism, inflammatory markers and hematological and biochemical tests. The lambs were randomly divided into five groups (6 animals each), as follows: uninfected animals (Control); animals infected with H. contortus (HC); infected and treated with closantel (HC + CL); infected and treated with copper oxide wire particles (HC + Cu); and infected and treated with closantel plus copper oxide wire particles (HC + CL + Cu). The animals of infected groups were infected orally with H. contortus (5,000 L3 -larvae) and on day 14 post infection (p.i) the treatments were initiated. The egg per gram of feces (EPG), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), myeloperoxidase (MPO), adenylate kinase (AK) and pyruvate kinase (PK) activities and hematological and biochemical tests were evaluated. Treatments with copper oxide (isolated and associated) were able to reduce the EPG count on days 28, 35, 42 and 49 p.i when compared to HC group, while closantel was able to reduce EPG only from day 35 p.i. Moreover, treatment with closantel (isolated or associated) was able to prevent the inhibition of hepatic AK and PK activities caused by H. contortus infection, which may contribute to efficient intracellular energetic communication in order to maintain the balance between cellular ATP consumption and production. Butyrylcholinesterase and MPO activities were higher in infected lambs compared to uninfected, while treated groups showed lower enzymatic activity compared to the group HC. The use of all therapeutic protocols was able to reduce the EPG count. Based on these evidences, the use of copper oxide plus closantel may be considered an alternative to treat lambs infected by H. contortus.

Abstract
Rupture of a saccular intracranial aneurysm (sIA) is often fatal. Thus, early detection of rupture-prone sIAs is vital. Myeloperoxidase (MPO), derived mainly from neutrophils, associates with sIA rupture, and therefore its role in sIA pathogenesis warrants further studies. We analyzed MPO and its association with other histological markers in 36 (16 unruptured and 20 ruptured) sIA samples by immunohistochemistry. MPO was present in all studied sIAs, and its expression associated with wall inflammatory cell infiltrations (r = 0.50, 0.63, and 0.75, all p ≤ 0.002), degenerative remodeling (p = 0.002) and rupture (p = 0.003). MPO associated strongly with the presence of organized luminal thrombi (p < 0.001), which also stained positive for MPO. Polymorphonuclear MPO+ cells were detected in the sIA walls, indicating neutrophils as MPO-source. MPO correlated strongly with accumulation of oxidized lipids (r = 0.67, p < 0.001) and loss of smooth muscle cells (r = -0.68, p < 0.001), suggesting that MPO is a relevant source of oxidative stress leading to cell death in the sIA wall. Furthermore, MPO associated with erythrocyte fragmentation (r = 0.74, p < 0.001) and iron deposition (p = 0.041), 2 outcomes known to amplify MPO-dependent oxidative stress. Taken together, these results suggest that MPO associates with degenerative remodeling predisposing to sIA wall rupture and may serve as a biomarker of a rupture-prone sIA wall.

Abstract
Tea polyphenols (TP) possess the ability to regulate dyslipidemia and gut microbiota dysbiosis. However, the underlying mechanism is still elusive. The present study explored the intervention of TP on high fat diet induced metabolic disorders, gut microbiota dysbiosis in mice, and the underlying intestinal mechanism. As a result, TP significantly ameliorated hyperlipidemia, improved the expression levels of hepatic lipid metabolism genes, and modulated gut microbiota. The underlying mechanism was supposed to rely on the maintaining of intestinal redox state by TP. Intestinal redox related indicators were significantly correlated with the distribution of gut microbiota. An unidentified genus of Lachnospiraceae, Bacteroides, Alistipes, and Faecalibaculum were identified as the biomarkers for intestinal redox state. Importantly, different dosages of TP modulated intestinal redox state and gut microbiota in varied patterns, and an overdose intake attenuated the beneficial effects on gut health. Our findings offered novel insights into the mechanism of TP on intestinal homeostasis.

Abstract
AIMS Poisoning with aluminium phosphide (AlP) commonly has a high rate of mortality and morbidities. Phosphine gas is the main cause of AlP poisoning that has deleterious effect on multi-organs especially heart, kidney, and liver. Furthermore, several studies reported that resveratrol has cytoprotective effects through its pleiotropic property. The purpose of this study was to estimate the dose-dependent role of resveratrol on phosphine induced acute hepatic toxicity in rat model. MAIN METHODS The rats have been exposed to LD50 of AlP (12 mg/kg) by gavage, and resveratrol doses (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg) were injected 30 min after intoxication. After 24 h, the serum and liver tissue were collected for present study. KEY FINDINGS The results indicated that phosphine causes an alteration in oxidative stress markers including elevation of ROS, and GSH level, MPO activity, reduction in SOD, catalase and G6PD activity as well as reduction in SOD1 and catalase expression. Furthermore, phosphine significantly induced phosphorylation of IkappaB, NF-kappaB and up-regulation of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and ICAM-1 expression. Also, phosphine induces markedly reduced hepatocytes lives cell and elevated apoptosis and necrosis. Co-treatment of resveratrol in a dose-dependent manner reversed aforementioned alterations. All in all, histological analysis indicated a deleterious effect of phosphine on the liver, which is mitigated by resveratrol administration. SIGNIFICANCE The results of the present study suggest targeting ROS/NF-kappaB signalling pathway by resveratrol may have a significant effect on the improvement of hepatic injury induced by phosphine. It also may be a possible candidate for the treatment of phosphine-poisoning.

Abstract
Background Myocardial inflammation following acute ischemic injury has been linked to poor cardiac remodeling and heart failure. Many studies have linked myeloperoxidase (MPO), a neutrophil and inflammatory marker, to cardiac inflammation in the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the prognostic role of MPO for adverse clinical outcomes in ACS patients has not been well established. Methods MEDLINE and Cochrane databases were searched for studies from 1975 to March 2018 that investigated the prognostic value of serum MPO in ACS patients. Studies which have dichotomized patients into a high MPO group and a low MPO group reported clinical outcomes accordingly and followed up patients for at least 30 days to be eligible for enrollment. Data were analyzed using random-effects model. Sensitivity analyses were conducted for quality control. Results Our meta-analysis included 13 studies with 9090 subjects and a median follow-up of 11.4 months. High MPO level significantly predicted mortality (odds ratio (OR) 2.03; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.40-2.94; P < 0.001), whereas it was not significantly predictive of major adverse cardiac events and recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) (OR 1.28; CI: 0.92-1.77, P = 0.14 and OR 1.23; CI: 0.96-1.58, P = 0.101, respectively). Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and age did not affect the prognostic value of MPO for clinical outcomes, whereas female gender and smoking status have a strong influence on the prognostic value of MPO in terms of mortality and recurrent MI (metaregression coefficient -8.616: 95% CI -14.59 to -2.633, P = 0.0048 and 4.88: 95% CI 0.756 to 9.0133, P = 0.0204, respectively). Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggests that high MPO levels are associated with the risk of mortality and that MPO can be incorporated in risk stratification models that guide therapy of high-risk ACS patients.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a critical proinflammatory enzyme implicated in cardiovascular, neurological, and rheumatological diseases. Emerging therapies targeting inflammation have raised interest in tracking MPO activity in patients. We describe 18F-MAPP, an activatable MPO activity radioprobe for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The activated radioprobe binds to proteins and accumulates at sites of MPO activity. The radioprobe 18F-MAPP has a short blood half-life, remains stable in plasma, does not demonstrate cytotoxicity, and crosses the intact blood-brain barrier. The 18F-MAPP imaging detected sites of elevated MPO activity in living mice embedded with human MPO and in mice induced with chemical inflammation or myocardial infarction. The 18F-MAPP PET imaging noninvasively differentiated varying amounts of MPO activity, competitive inhibition, and MPO deficiency in living animals, confirming specificity and showing that the radioprobe can quantify changes in in vivo MPO activity. The radiosynthesis has been optimized and automated, an important step in translation. These data indicate that 18F-MAPP is a promising translational candidate to noninvasively monitor MPO activity and inflammation in patients.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is the root of approximately one-third of global mortalities. Nanotechnology exhibits splendid prospects to combat atherosclerosis at the molecular level by engineering smart nanoagents with versatile functionalizations. Significant advances in nanoengineering enable nanoagents to autonomously navigate in the bloodstream, escape from biological barriers, and assemble with their nanocohort at the targeted lesion. The assembly of nanoagents with endogenous and exogenous stimuli breaks down their shells, facilitates intracellular delivery, releases their cargo to kill the corrupt cells, and gives imaging reports. All these improvements pave the way toward personalized medicine for atherosclerosis. This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in stimuli-responsive nanoagents for atherosclerosis management and its progress in clinical trials.

Abstract
Background Free radicals found in cigarette smoke can harm all tissues and cellular structures in the human body. Passive smoking increases free radical production, leads to the depletion of antioxidants and increases oxidative stress which causes lipid peroxidation. Many studies have been conducted to determine the effects of passive smoking on antioxidant enzymes and lipid levels in adults, but pediatric studies on this topic are few. In our study, we compared the levels of antioxidants, oxidants, total and LDL cholesterol in children exposed to passive cigarette smoking with a healthy control group that was not exposed to passive smoking. Methods A total of 41 children (4–17 years of age, 24 girls and 17 boys) exposed to passive smoking and 18 healthy girls and 12 healthy boys were included in this study. Secondhand smoking was confirmed via measurement of the cotinine/creatinine ratio. Various sociodemographic characteristics of patients were recorded. The levels of catalase, thiol, myeloperoxidase were measured to determine the antioxidant and oxidant levels in children, while the levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were measured to determine the alterations in lipid profile. Results The groups were similar in regard to demographic characteristics. Myeloperoxidase levels were significantly higher in the passive cigarette smoking group compared to the non-exposure group; however, catalase and thiol levels were similar. In regard to lipid profile, the levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were also similar in those with and without exposure to passive smoking. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the effects of passive smoking initially influence oxidants (MPO), but not antioxidants (thiol and catalase). However, it is apparent that passive smoking adversely affects oxidative balance in children and this may lead to the development of various diseases which could cause significant morbidity and mortality.

Liver Fat Is Associated With Markers of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Analysis of Data From the Framingham Heart Study. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2019; 17:1157-1164.e4. [PMID: 30476583 PMCID: PMC6475462 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2018.11.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2018] [Revised: 11/05/2018] [Accepted: 11/13/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is an inflammatory condition that results in progressive liver disease. It is unknown if individuals with hepatic steatosis, but not known to have liver disease, have higher serum concentrations of markers of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. METHODS We collected data from 2482 participants from the Framingham Heart Study (mean age, 51 ± 11 y; 51% women) who underwent computed tomography and measurement of 14 serum markers of systemic inflammation. Heavy alcohol users were excluded. The liver:phantom ratio (a continuous parameter of liver attenuation relative to a calibration phantom) was used to identify individuals with radiographic evidence of liver fat. Primary covariates included age, sex, smoking, alcohol, aspirin use, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Body mass index and visceral fat were secondary covariates. We used multivariable linear regression models to assess the association between liver fat and systemic inflammatory markers. RESULTS In multivariable-adjusted models, liver fat was associated with the following inflammatory markers: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (P < .001), urinary isoprostanes (P < .001), interleukin 6 (P < .001), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (P < .001), and P-selectin (P = .002). Additional adjustment for body mass index or visceral fat attenuated the results slightly, although all associations remained statistically significant (P for all ≤ .01). CONCLUSIONS In a community-based cohort, individuals with hepatic steatosis without known liver disease had higher mean serum concentrations of systemic markers of inflammation. Studies are needed to determine whether treatment of hepatic steatosis reduces systemic inflammation.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a critical member of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by immune cells to fight infections. On the other hand, HOCl in homeostasis causes oxidative damage to biomolecules and is linked to many diseases, including inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular diseases. Herein, we detail a procedure for the preparation of a boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-derived fluorescent probe for HOCl (BClO) and its application as an imaging reagent in living cells. BClO is synthesized in one pot through a four-step procedure that is nearly the same as that for conventional BODIPY dye preparation, except for the ratio of starting materials. BClO has an extremely rapid response (saturated within seconds) and is ultrasensitive to HOCl. The detection limit of BClO reaches the subnanomolar range, which is the highest HOCl sensitivity to date. Taking advantage of the ultrasensitive character of BClO, we have previously demonstrated its ability to detect endogenous HOCl generated by macrophages and shown that it can also be used to discriminate cancer cell lines (which show high HOCl production) from non-cancer cell lines (which show low HOCl production). The protocol requires ~2 d for probe synthesis and up to ~18 h for fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry assays.

Oxidative cross-linking of calprotectin occurs in vivo, altering its structure and susceptibility to proteolysis. Redox Biol 2019; 24:101202. [PMID: 31015146 PMCID: PMC6477633 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2019.101202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2019] [Revised: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 04/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Calprotectin, the major neutrophil protein, is a critical alarmin that modulates inflammation and plays a role in host immunity by strongly binding trace metals essential for bacterial growth. It has two cysteine residues favourably positioned to act as a redox switch. Whether their oxidation occurs in vivo and affects the function of calprotectin has received little attention. Here we show that in saliva from healthy adults, and in lavage fluid from the lungs of patients with respiratory diseases, a substantial proportion of calprotectin was cross-linked via disulfide bonds between the cysteine residues on its S100A8 and S100A9 subunits. Stimulated human neutrophils released calprotectin and subsequently cross-linked it by myeloperoxidase-dependent production of hypochlorous acid. The myeloperoxidase-derived oxidants hypochlorous acid, taurine chloramine, hypobromous acid, and hypothiocyanous acid, all at 10 μM, cross-linked calprotectin (5 μM) via reversible disulfide bonds. Hypochlorous acid generated A9-A9 and A8-A9 cross links. Hydrogen peroxide (10 μM) did not cross-link the protein. Purified neutrophil calprotectin existed as a non-covalent heterodimer of A8/A9 which was converted to a heterotetramer - (A8/A9)2 - with excess calcium ions. Low level oxidation of calprotectin with hypochlorous acid produced substantial proportions of high order oligomers, whether oxidation occurred before or after addition of calcium ions. At high levels of oxidation the heterodimer could not form tetramers with calcium ions, but prior addition of calcium ions afforded some protection for the heterotetramer. Oxidation and formation of the A8-A9 disulfide cross link enhanced calprotectin's susceptibility to proteolysis by neutrophil proteases. We propose that reversible disulfide cross-linking of calprotectin occurs during inflammation and affects its structure and function. Its increased susceptibility to proteolysis will ultimately result in a loss of function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM High salt diet and uninephrectomy are associated with high blood pressure with attendant cardiovascular disease conditions such as hypertension, renal damage, myocardial infarction, and stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate the beneficial effects of consumption of cocoa and cocoa-containing products in the management of high blood pressure in uninephrectomized hypertensive rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effect of cocoa powder on blood pressure, markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and histopathology were investigated in uninephrectomized animals fed with cocoa feed alone or in combination with a high salt diet. Male rats were randomly divided into five groups: Group A was the control group and fed with normal feed alone, Group B was fed with cocoa feed alone, Group C was fed with high salt diet (8% salt), GroupD was fed with cocoa-feed compounded with 8% salt for 4weeks after uninephrectomy, and GroupE was uninephrectomized rats on a normal diet. The left kidneys of animals in GroupsC, D, and E were removed by surgery. After 4weeks of treatment, the systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure was measured. The serum markers of renal damage and oxidative stress were determined. Histological examination was also performed on renal and cardiac tissues. RESULTS Results showed significant increases in biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and renal damage with a concomitant decrease in antioxidant status in hypertensive uninephrectomized rats. Cocoa feed, however, significantly improved blood pressure and nitric oxide bioavailability, antioxidant status and reduced markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. CONCLUSION These findings show that cocoa powder could be used to maintain blood pressure levels in hypertensive rats through its antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a nitrogen mustard alkylating drug used for the treatment of chronic and acute malignant lymphomas, myeloma, leukemia, neuroblastoma, adenocarcinoma, retinoblastoma, breast carcinoma, and immunosuppressive therapy. Despite its vast therapeutic uses, it is known to cause severe cardiac toxicity. Kolaviron (KV), a Garcinia kola seed extract containing a mixture of flavonoids, is reputed for its antioxidant and membrane stabilizing properties. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the protective effect of KV on CP-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. METHODS Thirty rats were used, and they were divided into 6 groups of 5 rats each. Group I received 2 mL/kg propylene glycol orally for 14 days; group II received CP (50 mg/kg/d, intraperitoneally [i.p.]) for 3 days; groups III and IV received 200 and 400 mg/kg/d KV, respectively, orally for 14 days and groups V and VI were pretreated with 200 and 400 mg/kg/d KV, respectively, orally for 14 days followed by CP (50 mg/kg/d, i.p.) for 3 days. RESULTS CP treatment resulted in a significantly lower food consumption and body weight in rats. The lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase enzymes in cardiac tissues of rats treated with CP were significantly higher. In cardiac tissues, 3-day doses of CP resulted in significantly higher heart weight, cardiac troponin I, myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide and lower superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase activities, and reduced glutathione levels. Histological examination of cardiac tissues showed sign of necrosis of myocardium after CP treatment. However, administration of KV at 200 and 400 mg/kg for 14 days prior to CP treatment, increase food consumption, body weight, and attenuates the biochemical and histological changes induced by CP. CONCLUSIONS These results revealed that KV attenuates CP-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress and preserving the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a highly abundant protein within the neutrophil that is associated with lipoprotein oxidation, and increased plasma MPO levels are correlated with poor prognosis after myocardial infarct. Thus, MPO inhibitors have been developed for the treatment of heart failure and acute coronary syndrome in humans. 2-(6-(5-Chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-2-thioxo-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)acetamide PF-06282999 is a recently described selective small molecule mechanism-based inactivator of MPO. Here, utilizing PF-06282999, we investigated the role of MPO to regulate atherosclerotic lesion formation and composition in the Ldlr-/- mouse model of atherosclerosis. Though MPO inhibition did not affect lesion area in Ldlr-/- mice fed a Western diet, reduced necrotic core area was observed in aortic root sections after MPO inhibitor treatment. MPO inhibition did not alter macrophage content in and leukocyte homing to atherosclerotic plaques. To assess non-invasive monitoring of plaque inflammation, [18F]-Fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) was administered to Ldlr-/- mice with established atherosclerosis that had been treated with clinically relevant doses of PF-06282999, and reduced FDG signal was observed in animals treated with a dose of PF-06282999 that corresponded with reduced necrotic core area. These data suggest that MPO inhibition does not alter atherosclerotic plaque area or leukocyte homing, but rather alters the inflammatory tone of atherosclerotic lesions; thus, MPO inhibition could have utility to promote atherosclerotic lesion stabilization and prevent atherosclerotic plaque rupture.
