Abstract
Though taurine has been reported very useful in preventing oxidative stress and various age-related diseases, the detailed biochemical mechanism of its biological functions is not well understood. Direct reaction of malondialdehyde (MDA) with taurine was studied using spectrofluorometry, spectrophotometry and liquid chromatography online with mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The results indicated that taurine reacted readily with MDA at supraphysiological conditions to yield mainly two products: a fluorescent 1,4-dihydropyridine and non-fluorescent enaminal derivatives. Taurine also significantly inhibited the formation of lipofuscin-like fluorescence induced by MDA-modified bovine serum albumin. These findings suggested that taurine effectively reduces carbonyl stress due to the amino group in its molecular structure, and we propose that it should be the mechanism related with the pathophysiological functions of taurine in the biological system.

Abstract
Chemical reactions in living cells are under strict enzyme control and conform to a tightly regulated metabolic program. However, uncontrolled and potentially deleterious endogenous reactions occur, even under physiological conditions. Aging, in this chemical context, could be viewed as an entropic process, the result of chemical side reactions that chronically and cumulatively degrade the function of biological systems. Mitochondria are a main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chemical sidereactions in healthy aerobic tissues and are the only known extranuclear cellular organelles in animal cells that contain their own DNA (mtDNA). ROS can modify mtDNA directly at the sugar-phosphate backbone or at the bases, producing many different oxidatively modified purines and pyrimidines, as well as single and double strand breaks and DNA mutations. In this scenario, natural selection tends to decrease the mitochondrial ROS generation, the oxidative damage to mtDNA, and the mitochondrial mutation rate in long-lived species, in agreement with the mitochondrial oxidative stress theory of aging.

Abstract
We report herein that oxidation of a mitochondria-specific phospholipid tetralinoleoyl cardiolipin (L(4)CL) by cytochrome c and H(2)O(2) leads to the formation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) via a novel chemical mechanism that involves cross-chain peroxyl radical addition and decomposition. As one of the most bioactive lipid electrophiles, 4-HNE possesses diverse biological activities ranging from modulation of multiple signal transduction pathways to the induction of intrinsic apoptosis. However, where and how 4-HNE is formed in vivo are much less understood. Recently a novel chemical mechanism has been proposed that involves intermolecular dimerization of fatty acids by peroxyl bond formation; but the biological relevance of this mechanism is unknown because a majority of the fatty acids are esterified in phospholipids in the cellular membrane. We hypothesize that oxidation of cardiolipins, especially L(4)CL, may lead to the formation of 4-HNE via this novel mechanism. We employed L(4)CL and dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) as model compounds to test this hypothesis. Indeed, in experiments designed to assess the intramolecular mechanism, more 4-HNE is formed from L(4)CL and DLPC oxidation than 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoylphosphatydylcholine. The key products and intermediates that are consistent with this proposed mechanism of 4-HNE formation have been identified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Identical products from cardiolipin oxidation were identified in vivo in rat liver tissue after carbon tetrachloride treatment. Our studies provide the first evidence in vitro and in vivo for the formation 4-HNE from cardiolipin oxidation via cross-chain peroxyl radical addition and decomposition, which may have implications in apoptosis and other biological activities of 4-HNE.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) product accumulation in human tissues is a major cause of tissular and cellular dysfunction that plays a major role in ageing and most age-related and oxidative stress-related diseases. The current evidence for the implication of LPO in pathological processes is discussed in this review. New data and literature review are provided evaluating the role of LPO in the pathophysiology of ageing and classically oxidative stress-linked diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and atherosclerosis (the main cause of cardiovascular complications). Striking evidences implicating LPO in foetal vascular dysfunction occurring in pre-eclampsia, in renal and liver diseases, as well as their role as cause and consequence to cancer development are addressed.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major risk factor for secondary malignancy after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin and mucous membranes are especially frequent in this setting where aneuploidy and tetraploidy are associated with aggressive disease. The current study is directed at the mechanism of neoplasia in this setting. Unmanipulated keratinocytes from areas of oral GVHD in 9 patients showed tetraploidy in 10% to 46% of cells when examined by florescein in situ hybridization (FISH). Keratinocytes isolated from biopsy sites of GVHD but not from normal tissue showed even greater numbers of tetraploid cells (mean = 78%, range: 15%-85%; N = 9) after culture. To mimic the inflammatory process in GVHD, allogeneic HLA-mismatched lymphocytes were mixed with normal keratinocytes. After 2 weeks, substantial numbers of aneuploid and tetraploid cells were evident in cultures with lymphocytes and with purified CD8 but not CD4 cells. Telomere length was substantially decreased in the lymphocyte-treated sample. No mutations were present in the p53 gene, although haploinsufficiency for p53 due to the loss of chromosome 17 was common in cells exposed to lymphocytes. These findings suggest that in GVHD, inflammation and repeated cell division correlate with the development of karyotypic abnormalities.

Abstract
Pesticides are widely used in agricultural and other settings, resulting in continued human exposure. Pesticide toxicity has been clearly demonstrated to alter a variety of neurological functions. Particularly, there is strong evidence suggesting that pesticide exposure predisposes to neurodegenerative diseases. Epidemiological data have suggested a relationship between pesticide exposure and brain neurodegeneration. However, an increasing debate has aroused regarding this issue. Paraquat is a highly toxic quaternary nitrogen herbicide which has been largely studied as a model for Parkinson's disease providing valuable insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in the toxic effects of pesticides and their role in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we review the molecular mechanisms involved in the neurotoxic action of pesticides, with emphasis on the mechanisms associated with the induction of neuronal cell death by paraquat as a model for Parkinsonian neurodegeneration.

Abstract
PTEN, a phosphoinositide-3-phosphatase, serves dual roles as a tumor suppressor and regulator of cellular anabolic/catabolic metabolism. Adaptation of a redox-sensitive cysteinyl thiol in PTEN for signal transduction by hydrogen peroxide may have superimposed a vulnerability to other mediators of oxidative stress and inflammation, especially reactive carbonyl species, which are commonly occurring by-products of arachidonic acid peroxidation. Using MCF7 and HEK-293 cells, we report that several reactive aldehydes and ketones, e.g. electrophilic α,β-enals (acrolein, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal) and α,β-enones (prostaglandin A2, Δ12-prostaglandin J2 and 15-deoxy-Δ-12,14-prostaglandin J2) covalently modify and inactivate cellular PTEN, with ensuing activation of PKB/Akt kinase; phosphorylation of Akt substrates; increased cell proliferation; and increased nuclear β-catenin signaling. Alkylation of PTEN by α,β-enals/enones and interference with its restraint of cellular PKB/Akt signaling may accentuate hyperplastic and neoplastic disorders associated with chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, or aging.

Abstract
Trans-4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE) is a peroxidation product of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Michael addition of HNE to deoxyguanosine yields four diastereomeric 1,N(2)-dG adducts. The adduct of (6S,8R,11S) stereochemistry forms interstrand N(2)-dG:N(2)-dG cross-links in the 5'-CpG-3' sequence. It has been compared with the (6R,8S,11R) adduct, incorporated into 5'-d(GCTAGCXAGTCC)-3' . 5'-d(GGACTCGCTAGC)-3', containing the 5'-CpG-3' sequence (X = HNE-dG). Both adducts rearrange in DNA to N(2)-dG aldehydes. These aldehydes exist in equilibrium with diastereomeric cyclic hemiacetals, in which the latter predominate at equilibrium. These cyclic hemiacetals mask the aldehydes, explaining why DNA cross-linking is slow compared to related 1,N(2)-dG adducts formed by acrolein and crotonaldehyde. Both the (6S,8R,11S) and (6R,8S,11R) cyclic hemiacetals are located within the minor groove. However, the (6S,8R,11S) cyclic hemiacetal orients in the 5'-direction, while the (6R,8S,11R) cyclic hemiacetal orients in the 3'-direction. The conformations of the diastereomeric N(2)-dG aldehydes, which are the reactive species involved in DNA cross-link formation, have been calculated using molecular mechanics methods. The (6S,8R,11S) aldehyde orients in the 5'-direction, while the (6R,8S,11R) aldehyde orients in the 3'-direction. This suggests a kinetic basis to explain, in part, why the (6S,8R,11S) HNE adduct forms interchain cross-links in the 5'-CpG-3' sequence, whereas (6R,8S,11R) HNE adduct does not. The presence of these cross-links in vivo is anticipated to interfere with DNA replication and transcription, thereby contributing to the etiology of human disease.

Abstract
Cells use redox signaling to adapt to oxidative stress. For instance, certain transcription factors exist in a latent state that may be disrupted by oxidative modifications that activate their transcription potential. We hypothesized that DNA-binding sites (response elements) for redox-sensitive transcription factors may also exist in a latent state, maintained by co-repressor complexes containing class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, and that HDAC inactivation by oxidative stress may antagonize deacetylase activity and unmask electrophile-response elements, thus activating transcription. Electrophiles suitable to test this hypothesis include reactive carbonyl species, often derived from peroxidation of arachidonic acid. We report that alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, e.g. the cyclopentenone prostaglandin, 15-deoxy-Delta12,14-PGJ(2) (15d-PGJ(2)), and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE), alkylate (carbonylate), a subset of class I HDACs including HDAC1, -2, and -3, but not HDAC8. Covalent modification at two conserved cysteine residues, corresponding to Cys(261) and Cys(273) in HDAC1, coincided with attenuation of histone deacetylase activity, changes in histone H3 and H4 acetylation patterns, derepression of a LEF1.beta-catenin model system, and transcription of HDAC-repressed genes, e.g. heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), Gadd45, and HSP70. Identification of particular class I HDACs as components of the redox/electrophile-responsive proteome offers a basis for understanding how cells stratify their responses to varying degrees of pathophysiological oxidative stress associated with inflammation, cancer, and metabolic syndrome.

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

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory processes induce oxidative and nitrative stress that trigger lipid peroxidation (LPO), whereby DNA-reactive aldehydes such as trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) are generated. Miscoding etheno-modified DNA adducts including 1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine (epsilondA) are formed by reaction of HNE with DNA-bases which are excreted in urine, following elimination from tissue DNA. An ultrasensitive and specific immunoprecipitation/HPLC-fluorescence detection method was developed for quantifying epsilondA excreted in urine. Levels in urine of Thai and European liver disease-free subjects were in the range of 3-6 fmol epsilondA/micromol creatinine. Subjects with inflammatory cancer-prone liver diseases caused by viral infection or alcohol abuse excreted massively increased and highly variable epsilondA-levels. Groups of Thai subjects (N=21) with chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) due to HBV infection had 20, 73 and 39 times higher urinary epsilondA levels, respectively when compared to asymptomatic HBsAg carriers. In over two thirds of European patients (N=38) with HBV-, HCV- and alcohol-related liver disease, urinary epsilondA levels were increased 7-10-fold compared to healthy controls. Based on this pilot study we conclude: (i) high urinary epsilondA-levels, reflecting massive LPO-derived DNA damage in vivo may contribute to the development of HCC; (ii) epsilondA-measurements in urine and target tissues should thus be further explored as a putative risk marker to follow malignant progression of inflammatory liver diseases in affected patients; (iii) etheno adducts may serve as biomarkers to assess the efficacy of (chemo-)preventive and therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Aging is an inevitable universal biological process, which can be characterized by a general decline in physiological function with the accumulation of diverse adverse changes and increased probability of death. Among several theories, oxidative stress/free radical theory offers the best mechanistic elucidation of the aging process and other age -related phenomenon. In the present paper , we discuss the aging process and have focused on the importance of some reliable markers of oxidative stress which may be used as biomarkers of the aging process.

Abstract
This chapter describes a mass spectrometry-based strategy that facilitates the unambiguous identification and characterization of proteins modified by lipid peroxidation-derived 2-alkenals. The approach employs a biotinylated hydroxyl amine derivative as an aldehyde/keto-reactive probe in conjunction with selective enrichment and tandem mass spectrometric analysis. Methodological details are given for model studies involving a distinct protein and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE). The method was also evaluated for an exposure study of a cell culture system with HNE that yielded the major protein targets of HNE in human monocytic THP-1 cells. The application of the approach to complex biological systems is demonstrated for the identification and characterization of endogenous protein targets of aldehydic lipid peroxidation products present in cardiac mitochondria.

Abstract
The oxidative DNA damage by copper (II) complexes in the presence of chlorogenic acid was explored using agarose gel electrophoresis. The extent of pBR322 DNA damage was enhanced significantly with increasing concentration of [Cu-phen-Thr] complex and incubation time. A fluorescence quenching activity of calf thymus DNA-EB was observed more remarkably with chlorogenic acid than without chlorogenic acid. The fluorescence measurements suggested that [Cu-phen-Thr] complex not only can bind to DNA by intercalation but also can damage the double strand DNA in the presence of chlorogenic acid. Further, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, a biomarker of DNA oxidative damage was determined by electrochemical method. The control experiments revealed that the structure of copper (II) complexes affected capability of complex to DNA damage. The planar structure copper (II) complex showed high efficiency to DNA damage. The chlorogenic acid as biological reductant could improve copper (II) complex to DNA damage. A mechanism on [Cu-phen-Thr] complex to DNA damage in the presence of chlorogenic acid was proposed.

Abstract
The reaction of DNA-damaging agents with the genome results in a plethora of lesions, commonly referred to as adducts. Adducts may cause DNA to mutate, they may represent the chemical precursors of lethal events and they can disrupt expression of genes. Determination of which adduct is responsible for each of these biological endpoints is difficult, but this task has been accomplished for some carcinogenic DNA-damaging agents. Here, we describe the respective contributions of specific DNA lesions to the biological effects of low molecular weight alkylating agents.

Abstract
Oxidative stress in biological systems can result in radical-induced lipid peroxidation (LPO), which can lead to the production of secondary reactive by-products such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), malondialdehyde (MDA), acrolein, and acetaldehyde. These deleterious compounds are known to react with and concomitantly modify nucleophilic amino acid residues on proteins. Oxidative stress induced by cigarette smoke (CS) has been put forth as a major mechanism for tobacco-induced pathologies. At present, there are few reliable biomarkers for measuring the extent of oxidatively-induced damage resulting from CS exposure in vivo. This study has utilized a previously reported CS exposure system to expose cultured cells in-vitro to whole CS and determine the extent of LPO resulting from CS exposure by quantifying the increase in HNE within the exposure media versus controls via gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Additionally, we obtained protein enriched cell lysate post-CS exposures and measured the fluorescent signal obtained via direct injection fluorescent analysis at 375 nm ex./415 nm em. This study determined that the fluorescent signal intensity was directly proportional to the quantity increase of HNE in CS exposed media. It further tested this correlation by performing HNE titration addition experiments to cultured cells and Western blot analysis on proteins obtained from cell lysates. Finally, the fluorescent signal increase from authentic BSA solutions incubated with increasing concentrations of HNE was measured. It is proposed that the fluorescent signal observed from the protein lysate of CS exposed cultured cells corresponds to the extent of biological damage resulting from secondary reactive by-products formed from LPO induced via CS exposure and represented by HNE. The fluorescent signals increased in intensity upon increasing CS dose up to 20 min and remained elevated over 24 h after cessation of CS exposure.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) detect invading microbial pathogens and initiate immune responses as part of host defense mechanisms. They also respond to host-derived substances released from injured cells and tissues to ensure wound healing and tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation of TLRs increases the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases and immune disorders. Inflammatory events are often accompanied by oxidative stress, which generates lipid peroxidation products such as 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE). Therefore, we investigated if 4-HNE affects TLR activation. We found that 4-HNE blocked LPS (a TLR4 agonist)-induced activation of NFkappaB and IRF3 as well as expression of IFNbeta, IP-10, RANTES, and TNFalpha. To investigate the mechanism of inhibition by 4-HNE, we examined its effects on TLR4 dimerization, one of the initial steps in TLR4 activation. 4-HNE suppressed both ligand-induced and ligand-independent receptor dimerization. The thiol donors, DTT and NAC, prevented the inhibitory effects of 4-HNE on TLR4 dimerization, and LC-MS/MS analysis showed that 4-HNE formed adducts with cysteine residues of synthetic peptides derived from TLR4. These observations suggest that the reactivity of 4-HNE with sulfhydryl moieties is implicated in the inhibition of TLR4 activation. Furthermore, inhibition of TLR4 activation by 4-HNE resulted in down-regulation of the phagocytic activity of macrophages. Collectively, these results demonstrate that 4-HNE blocks TLR4-mediated macrophage activation, gene expression, and phagocytic functions, at least partly by suppressing receptor dimerization. They further suggest that 4-HNE influences innate immune responses at sites of infection and inflammation by inhibiting TLR4 activation.

Abstract
DNA is affected by background damage of the order of one lesion per one hundred thousand nucleotides, with depurination and oxidative damage accounting for a major part. This damage contributes to spontaneous mutation and cancer. DNA adducts can be measured with high sensitivity, with limits of detection lower than one adduct per one billion nucleotides. Minute exposures to an exogenous DNA-reactive agent may therefore result in measurable adduct formation, although, as an increment over total DNA damage, a small increment in mutation cannot be measured and would be considered negligible. Here, we investigated whether this discrepancy also holds for adducts that are present as background induced by oxidative stress. L5178Y tk(+/-) mouse lymphoma cells were incubated for 4h with hydrogen peroxide (0, 0.8, 4, 20, 100, 500muM) or cumene hydroperoxide (0, 0.37, 1.1, 3.3, 10muM). Five endpoints of genotoxicity were measured in parallel from aliquots of three replicates of large batches of cells: Two DNA adducts, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) and 1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine (varepsilondAdo) measured by LC-MS/MS, as well as strand breaks assessed with the comet assay and in vitro micronucleus test, and gene mutation as assessed using the thymidine kinase gene mutation assay. Background measures of 8-oxodGuo and varepsilondAdo were 500-1000 and 50-90 adducts per 10(9) nucleotides. Upon treatment, neither hydrogen peroxide nor cumene hydroperoxide significantly increased the DNA adduct levels above control. In contrast, dose-related increases above background were observed with both oxidants in the comet assay, the micronucleus test and the gene mutation assay. Differences in sensitivity of the assays were quantified by estimating the concentration of oxidant that resulted in a doubling of the background measure. We conclude that the increase in DNA breakage and mutation induced by hydrogen peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide observed in our in vitro experimental set-up was no direct consequence of the measured DNA adducts. In comparison with data obtained with the methylating agent methyl methanesulfonate we further conclude that the assumption of DNA adducts being oversensitive biomarkers is adduct-specific.

Abstract
HNE (4-hydroxynonenal), a byproduct of lipid peroxidation, reacts with nucleophilic centers on proteins. A terminal alkynyl analog of HNE (alkynyl HNE, aHNE) serves as a surrogate for HNE itself, both compounds reacting with protein amine and thiol functional groups by similar chemistry. Proteins modified with aHNE undergo reaction with a click reagent that bears azido and biotin groups separated by a photocleavable linker. Peptides and proteins modified in this way are affinity purified on streptavidin beads. Photolysis of the beads with a low intensity UV light releases bound biotinylated proteins or peptides, i.e. proteins or peptides modified by aHNE. Two strategies, (a) protein catch and photorelease and (b) peptide catch and photorelease, are employed to enrich adducted proteins or peptide mixtures highly enriched in adducts. Proteomics analysis of the streptavidin-purified peptides by LC-MS/MS permits identification of the adduction site. Identification of 30 separate peptides from human serum albumin by peptide catch and photorelease reveals 18 different aHNE adduction sites on the protein. Protein catch and photorelease shows that both HSA and ApoA1 in human plasma undergo significant modification by aHNE.

Abstract
The (6S,8R,11S) 1,N(2)-HNE-dGuo adduct of trans-4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) was incorporated into the duplex 5'-d(GCTAGCXAGTCC)-3'.5'-d(GGACTAGCTAGC)-3' [X = (6S,8R,11S) HNE-dG], in which the lesion was mismatched opposite dAdo. The (6S,8R,11S) adduct maintained the ring-closed 1,N(2)-HNE-dG structure. This was in contrast to when this adduct was correctly paired with dCyd, conditions under which it underwent ring opening and rearrangement to diastereomeric minor groove cyclic hemiacetals [ Huang , H. , Wang , H. , Qi , N. , Lloyd , R. S. , Harris , T. M. , Rizzo , C. J. , and Stone , M. P. ( 2008 ) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130 , 10898 - 10906 ]. The (6S,8R,11S) adduct exhibited a syn/anti conformational equilibrium about the glycosyl bond. The syn conformation was predominant in acidic solution. Structural analysis of the syn conformation revealed that X(7) formed a distorted base pair with the complementary protonated A(18). The HNE moiety was located in the major groove. Structural perturbations were observed at the neighbor C(6).G(19) and A(8).T(17) base pairs. At basic pH, the anti conformation of X(7) was the major species. The 1,N(2)-HNE-dG intercalated and displaced the complementary A(18) in the 5'-direction, resulting in a bulge at the X(7).A(18) base pair. The HNE aliphatic chain was oriented toward the minor groove. The Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding of the neighboring A(8).T(17) base pair was also disrupted.

Abstract
Covalent binding of reactive electrophiles to cellular targets is a molecular interaction that has the potential to initiate severe adverse biological effects. Therefore, a measure for electrophilic reactivity with biological nucleophiles could serve as an important correlate to toxic effects such as hepatocyte death. To determine if electrophile reactivity correlates with rat hepatocyte cytotoxicity, the inherently electrophilic alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes were chosen for investigation. Reactivity was measured with simple assays that used glutathione, a soft nucleophile, and butylamine, a harder nucleophile, as models for protein thiol and amine nucleophilic sites, respectively. Despite their higher reactivity with thiols, a linear relationship was only observed between hepatocyte cytotoxicity and amine reactivity. Structure-activity relationships were also investigated for hepatocyte toxicity, and results showed toxicity was well modelled by log P and electronic parameters E(LUMO) and partial charge of the carbonyl carbon (C'(carb)). Hydrophobicity and electronic descriptors were only significant in separate distinct models, suggesting that there were simultaneously occurring mechanisms that affected toxicity. Log P was linked to the ease of oxidation by a microsomal aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, while the electronic descriptors and amine reactivity were linked to direct alkylation. Even with the presence of electrophile characteristics, alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde hepatocyte toxicity could not be predicted exclusively by electrophilic reactivity as oxidative metabolism was also a factor for toxicity.

Abstract
Biotransformation is essential to convert lipophilic chemicals to water-soluble and readily excretable metabolites. Formally, biotransformation reactions are classified into phase I and phase II reactions. Phase I reactions represent the introduction of functional groups, whereas phase II reactions are conjugations of such functional groups with endogenous, polar products. Biotransformation also plays an essential role in the toxicity of many chemicals due to the metabolic formation of toxic metabolites. These may be classified as stable but toxic products, reactive electrophiles, radicals, and reactive oxygen metabolites. The interaction of toxic products formed by biotransformation reactions with cellular macromolecules initiates the sequences resulting in cellular damage, cell death and toxicity.

Abstract
Apoptosis is an evolutionary conserved homeostatic process involved in distinct physiological processes including organ and tissue morphogenesis, development and senescence. Its deregulation is also known to participate in the etiology of several human diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders. Environmental stressors (cytotoxic agents, pollutants or toxicants) are well known to induce apoptotic cell death and to contribute to a variety of pathological conditions. Oxidative stress seems to be the central element in the regulation of the apoptotic pathways triggered by environmental stressors. In this work, we review the established mechanisms by which oxidative stress and environmental stressors regulate the apoptotic machinery with the aim to underscore the relevance of apoptosis as a component in environmental toxicity and human disease progression.

Abstract
The trans-4-hydroxynonenal (HNE)-derived exocyclic 1, N(2)-dG adduct with (6S,8R,11S) stereochemistry forms interstrand N(2)-dG-N(2)-dG cross-links in the 5'-CpG-3' DNA sequence context, but the corresponding adduct possessing (6R,8S,11R) stereochemistry does not. Both exist primarily as diastereomeric cyclic hemiacetals when placed into duplex DNA [Huang, H., Wang, H., Qi, N., Kozekova, A., Rizzo, C. J., and Stone, M. P. (2008) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 130, 10898-10906]. To explore the structural basis for this difference, the HNE-derived diastereomeric (6S,8R,11S) and (6R,8S,11R) cyclic hemiacetals were examined with respect to conformation when incorporated into 5'-d(GCTAGC XAGTCC)-3' x 5'-d(GGACTCGCTAGC)-3', containing the 5'-CpX-3' sequence [X = (6S,8R,11S)- or (6R,8S,11R)-HNE-dG]. At neutral pH, both adducts exhibited minimal structural perturbations to the DNA duplex that were localized to the site of the adduction at X(7) x C(18) and its neighboring base pair, A(8) x T(17). Both the (6S,8R,11S) and (6R,8S,11R) cyclic hemiacetals were located within the minor groove of the duplex. However, the respective orientations of the two cyclic hemiacetals within the minor groove were dependent upon (6S) versus (6R) stereochemistry. The (6S,8R,11S) cyclic hemiacetal was oriented in the 5'-direction, while the (6R,8S,11R) cyclic hemiacetal was oriented in the 3'-direction. These cyclic hemiacetals effectively mask the reactive aldehydes necessary for initiation of interstrand cross-link formation. From the refined structures of the two cyclic hemiacetals, the conformations of the corresponding diastereomeric aldehydes were predicted, using molecular mechanics calculations. Potential energy minimizations of the duplexes containing the two diastereomeric aldehydes predicted that the (6S,8R,11S) aldehyde was oriented in the 5'-direction while the (6R,8S,11R) aldehyde was oriented in the 3'-direction. These stereochemical differences in orientation suggest a kinetic basis that explains, in part, why the (6S,8R,11S) stereoisomer forms interchain cross-links in the 5'-CpG-3' sequence whereas the (6R,8S,11R) stereoisomer does not.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated within cells or, more generally, in a tissue environment, may easily turn into a source of cell and tissue injury. Aerobic organisms have developed evolutionarily conserved mechanisms and strategies to carefully control the generation of ROS and other oxidative stress-related radical or non-radical reactive intermediates (that is, to maintain redox homeostasis), as well as to 'make use' of these molecules under physiological conditions as tools to modulate signal transduction, gene expression and cellular functional responses (that is, redox signalling). However, a derangement in redox homeostasis, resulting in sustained levels of oxidative stress and related mediators, can play a significant role in the pathogenesis of major human diseases characterized by chronic inflammation, chronic activation of wound healing and tissue fibrogenesis. This review has been designed to first offer a critical introduction to current knowledge in the field of redox research in order to introduce readers to the complexity of redox signalling and redox homeostasis. This will include ready-to-use key information and concepts on ROS, free radicals and oxidative stress-related reactive intermediates and reactions, sources of ROS in mammalian cells and tissues, antioxidant defences, redox sensors and, more generally, the major principles of redox signalling and redox-dependent transcriptional regulation of mammalian cells. This information will serve as a basis of knowledge to introduce the role of ROS and other oxidative stress-related intermediates in contributing to essential events, such as the induction of cell death, the perpetuation of chronic inflammatory responses, fibrogenesis and much more, with a major focus on hepatic chronic wound healing and liver fibrogenesis.

Abstract
trans-4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE) is a peroxidation product of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The Michael addition of deoxyguanosine to HNE yields four diastereomeric exocyclic 1,N(2)-dG adducts. The corresponding acrolein- and crotonaldehyde-derived exocyclic 1,N(2)-dG adducts undergo ring-opening to N(2)-dG aldehydes, placing the aldehyde functionalities into the minor groove of DNA. The acrolein- and the 6R-crotonaldehyde-derived exocyclic 1,N(2)-dG adducts form interstrand N(2)-dG:N(2)-dG cross-links in the 5'-CpG-3' sequence context. Only the HNE-derived exocyclic 1,N(2)-dG adduct of (6S,8R,11S) stereochemistry forms interstrand N(2)-dG:N(2)-dG cross-links in the 5'-CpG-3' sequence context. Moreover, as compared to the exocyclic 1,N(2)-dG adducts of acrolein and crotonaldehyde, the cross-linking reaction is slow (Wang, H.; Kozekov, I. D.; Harris, T. M.; Rizzo, C. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 5687-5700). Accordingly, the chemistry of the HNE-derived exocyclic 1,N(2)-dG adduct of (6S,8R,11S) stereochemistry has been compared with that of the (6R,8S,11R) adduct, when incorporated into 5'-d(GCTAGCXAGTCC)-3'.5'-d(GGACTCGCTAGC)-3', containing the 5'-CpG-3' sequence (X = HNE-dG). When placed complementary to dC in this duplex, both adducts open to the corresponding N(2)-dG aldehydic rearrangement products, suggesting that the formation of the interstrand cross-link by the exocyclic 1,N(2)-dG adduct of (6S,8R,11S) stereochemistry, and the lack of cross-link formation by the exocyclic 1,N(2)-dG adduct of (6R,8S,11R) stereochemistry, is not attributable to inability to undergo ring-opening to the aldehydes in duplex DNA. Instead, these aldehydic rearrangement products exist in equilibrium with stereoisomeric cyclic hemiacetals. The latter are the predominant species present at equilibrium. The trans configuration of the HNE H6 and H8 protons is preferred. The presence of these cyclic hemiacetals in duplex DNA is significant as they mask the aldehyde species necessary for interstrand cross-link formation.

Abstract
There is a vast literature on the generation and effects of reactive oxygen species in biological systems, both in relation to damage they cause and their involvement in cell regulatory and signaling pathways. The biological chemistry of different oxidants is becoming well understood, but it is often unclear how this translates into cellular mechanisms where redox changes have been demonstrated. This review addresses this gap. It examines how target selectivity and antioxidant effectiveness vary for different oxidants. Kinetic considerations of reactivity are used to assess likely targets in cells and how reactions might be influenced by restricted diffusion and compartmentalization. It also highlights areas where greater understanding is required on the fate of oxidants generated by cellular NADPH oxidases and on the identification of oxidant sensors in cell signaling.

Abstract
Compounds that are enzymatically transformed to reactive intermediates are common in nature. Some drugs and many phytochemicals that contain a thiophene ring are oxidized by cytochrome P450 to biological reactive intermediates (BRI) that can covalently bind to thiol nucleophiles. The investigational anticancer agent 3-[(quinolin-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-amide (OSI-930) contains a thiophene moiety that can be oxidized by P450s to an apparent sulfoxide, which can react via Michael-addition to the 5-position of the thiophene ring, as demonstrated by mass spectral characterization of several thioether conjugates of the presumed thiophene S-oxide. Furthermore, a stable deuterium isotope retention experiment in which solvent deuterium was incorporated into the thiophene verifies the sulfoxide pathway. Various thiol nucleophiles are shown by tandem mass spectra to bind with this BRI, which is activated by P450 3A4 and to a slight degree, P450 2D6. Yet various safe drugs, phytochemicals, and endogenous molecules, all noted for their activation to BRI, are not toxic at a normal dose. Thus, multiple features determine any consequence of a BRI, with these complexities determining why one BRI is benign while another is not. The retention of covalent protein adducts of radio-labeled intermediate rat tissue has a half-life of about 1-1.5 days; hence, modified protein is cleared and replaced relatively quickly.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress have been considered in a variety of disease models, and cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes have been suggested to be a source of ROS. Induction of P450s by phenobarbital (PB), beta-naphthoflavone (betaNF), or clofibrate in a mouse model increased ROS parameters in the isolated liver microsomes, but isoniazid treatment did not. However, when F(2)-isoprostanes (F(2)-IsoPs) were measured in tissues and urine, PB showed the strongest effect and betaNF had a measurable but weaker effect. The same trend was seen when an Nfr2-based transgene reporter sensitive to ROS was analyzed in the mice. This pattern had been seen earlier with F(2)-IsoPs both in vitro and in vivo with rats (Dostalek, M., Brooks, J. D., Hardy, K. D., Milne, G. L., Moore, M. M., Sharma, S., Morrow, J. D., and Guengerich, F. P. (2007) Mol. Pharmacol. 72, 1419-1424). One possibility for the general in vitro-in vivo discrepancy in oxidative stress found in both mice and rats is that PB treatment might attenuate protective systems. One potential candidate suggested by an mRNA microarray was nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. PB was found to elevate nicotinamide N-methyltransferase activity 3- to 4-fold in mice and rats and to attenuate levels of NAD(+), NADP(+), NADH, and NADPH in both species (20-40%), due to the enhanced excretion of (N-methyl)nicotinamide. PB also down-regulated glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase, which together constitute a key enzymatic system that uses NADPH in protecting against oxidative stress. These multiple effects on the protective systems are proposed to be more important than P450 induction in oxidative stress and emphasize the importance of studying in vivo models.

Abstract
Although investigation of the toxicological and physiological actions of alpha/beta-unsaturated 4-hydroxyalkenals has made great progress over the last 2 decades, understanding of the chemical mechanism of formation of 4-hydroxynonenal and related aldehydes has advanced much less. The aim of this review is to discuss mechanistic evidence for these non-enzymatic routes, especially of the underappreciated intermolecular pathways that involve dimerized and oligomerized fatty acid derivatives as key intermediates. These cross-molecular reactions of fatty acid peroxyls have also important implications for understanding of the basic initiation and propagation steps during lipid peroxidation and the nature of the products that arise.

Abstract
We report on the identification of novel epoxide products formed during the autoxidative transformation of 15 S-hydroxy- and 15 S-hydroperoxy-eicosatetra-5 Z,8 Z,11 Z,13 E-enoic acids (15 S-HETE and 15 S-HPETE). These epoxides account for about 20-30% of the polar compounds detected during the early stages of autoxidation. Their common structural features are retention of the original 15 S-hydroxy or 15 S-hydroperoxy moiety with epoxidation of the 11 Z or 13 E double bonds in the conjugated diene of the starting material. Four main epoxyalcohol isomers were characterized from the hydroxy fatty acid 15 S-HETE, comprising two pairs of diastereomers with either an 11,12- trans or 13,14- trans epoxide functionality. Four main epoxyhydroperoxides identified from 15 S-HPETE comprised two pairs with cis or trans epoxide configuration at the 11,12 position. To account for these transformations, we propose a mechanism involving peroxyl radical dependent dimerization or oligomerization of the fatty acid hydroxy or hydroperoxy derivatives into covalent intermediates resulting in intermolecular transfer of oxygen from the peroxyl radical to the epoxide group. Autoxidation of [ (18)O 2]-15 S-HPETE carrying an O-18 labeled hydroperoxide showed that the 11,12- cis epoxy oxygen of the epoxy-hydroperoxide product was enriched in the labeled oxygen, providing evidence that in part it was derived directly from the starting hydroperoxide and not from molecular oxygen. Thus, intermediate dimerization and possibly oligomerization of fatty acid peroxyl radicals provides a mechanism of epoxidation of fatty acid derivatives during lipid peroxidation and a potential route to other products including aldehydes formed via carbon chain cleavage.

Abstract
Mitochondria serve a pivotal role in the regulation of apoptosis or programmed cell death. Recent studies have demonstrated that reactive electrophiles induce mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis. We hypothesize that covalent modification of specific mitochondrial proteins by reactive electrophiles serves as a trigger leading to the initiation of apoptosis. In this study, we identified protein targets of the model biotin-tagged electrophile probes N-iodoacetyl- N-biotinylhexylene-diamine (IAB) and 1-biotinamido-4-(4'-[maleimidoethylcyclohexane]carboxamido)butane (BMCC) in HEK293 cell mitochondrial fractions by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). These electrophiles reproducibly adducted a total of 1693 cysteine residues that mapped to 809 proteins. Protein modifications were selective in that only 438 cysteine sites in 1255 cysteinyl peptide adducts (35%) and 362 of the 809 identified protein targets (45%) were adducted by both electrophiles. Of these, approximately one-third were annotated to the mitochondria following protein database analysis. IAB initiated apoptotic events including cytochrome c release, caspase-3 activation, and poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) cleavage, whereas BMCC did not. Of the identified targets of IAB and BMCC, 44 were apoptosis-related proteins, and adduction site specificity on these targets differed between the two probes. Differences in sites of modification between these two electrophiles may reveal alkylation sites whose modification triggers apoptosis.

Abstract
The use of powerful analytical technologies to detect endogenous carbonyls formed as byproducts of oxidative cell injury has revealed that these species contribute to many human diseases. As electrophiles, they are attacked by reactive centers in cell macromolecules to form adducts, the levels of which serve as useful biomarkers of oxidative cell injury. Because the pathobiological significance of such damage is often unclear, the possibility of using low molecular weight drugs as exploratory sacrificial nucleophiles to intercept reactive carbonyls within cells and tissues is appealing. This perspective highlights the potential benefits of using carbonyl scavengers to evaluate the significance of endogenous carbonyls in particular diseases but also canvasses a number of challenges confronting this therapeutic strategy. Chief among the latter is the task of confirming that carbonyl sequestration underlies any suppression of disease symptoms elicited by these multipotent reagents, an issue needing clarification if these compounds are to command consideration as drug interventions in humans. Other problems include adverse consequences of reactions between carbonyl scavengers and important endogenous carbonyls (e.g., neurotoxicity due to pyridoxal depletion), as well as the potential for drugs to form ternary complexes with carbonylated cell proteins, raising the prospect of immunotoxicological outcomes. Strategies for moving carbonyl sequestering reagents from the laboratory bench to a clinical testing environment are discussed within the context of the search for new treatments for spinal cord injury, one of the most debilitating medical conditions sustainable by humans. This condition seems an appropriate test case for assessing carbonyl sequestering drugs given growing evidence for noxious carbonyls in the wave of neuronal cell death that follows traumatic injury to the spinal cord.

Abstract
The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mammalian cells is tightly regulated because of their potential to damage macromolecules, including DNA. To investigate possible links between high ROS levels, oxidative DNA damage, and genomic instability in mammalian cells, we established a novel model of chronic oxidative stress by coexpressing the NADPH oxidase human (h) NOX1 gene together with its cofactors NOXO1 and NOXA1. Transfectants of mismatch repair (MMR)-proficient HeLa cells or MMR-defective Msh2(-/-) mouse embryo fibroblasts overexpressing the hNOX1 complex displayed increased intracellular ROS levels. In one HeLa clone in which ROS were particularly elevated, reactive nitrogen species were also increased and nitrated proteins were identified with an anti-3-nitrotyrosine antibody. Overexpression of the hNOX1 complex increased the steady-state levels of DNA 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine and caused a threefold increase in the HPRT mutation rate in HeLa cells. In contrast, additional oxidatively generated damage did not affect the constitutive mutator phenotype of the Msh2(-/-) fibroblasts. Because no significant changes in the expression of several DNA repair enzymes for oxidative DNA damage were identified, we suggest that chronic oxidative stress can saturate the cell's DNA repair capacity and cause significant genomic instability.

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