Dailah HG. Therapeutic Potential of Small Molecules Targeting Oxidative Stress in the Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A Comprehensive Review. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27175542. [PMID: 36080309 PMCID: PMC9458015 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27175542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an increasing and major global health problem. COPD is also the third leading cause of death worldwide. Oxidative stress (OS) takes place when various reactive species and free radicals swamp the availability of antioxidants. Reactive nitrogen species, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and their counterpart antioxidants are important for host defense and physiological signaling pathways, and the development and progression of inflammation. During the disturbance of their normal steady states, imbalances between antioxidants and oxidants might induce pathological mechanisms that can further result in many non-respiratory and respiratory diseases including COPD. ROS might be either endogenously produced in response to various infectious pathogens including fungi, viruses, or bacteria, or exogenously generated from several inhaled particulate or gaseous agents including some occupational dust, cigarette smoke (CS), and air pollutants. Therefore, targeting systemic and local OS with therapeutic agents such as small molecules that can increase endogenous antioxidants or regulate the redox/antioxidants system can be an effective approach in treating COPD. Various thiol-based antioxidants including fudosteine, erdosteine, carbocysteine, and N-acetyl-L-cysteine have the capacity to increase thiol content in the lungs. Many synthetic molecules including inhibitors/blockers of protein carbonylation and lipid peroxidation, catalytic antioxidants including superoxide dismutase mimetics, and spin trapping agents can effectively modulate CS-induced OS and its resulting cellular alterations. Several clinical and pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that these antioxidants have the capacity to decrease OS and affect the expressions of several pro-inflammatory genes and genes that are involved with redox and glutathione biosynthesis. In this article, we have summarized the role of OS in COPD pathogenesis. Furthermore, we have particularly focused on the therapeutic potential of numerous chemicals, particularly antioxidants in the treatment of COPD.

[PMID: 35994434 PMCID: PMC9394840 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0010692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Haemaphysalis longicornis (Neumann), a tick of public health and veterinary importance, spend the major part of their life cycle off-host, especially the adult host-seeking period. Thus, they have to contend with prolonged starvation. Here, we investigated the underlying molecular mechanism of tick starvation endurance in the salivary glands, midguts, ovaries, and Malpighian tubules of starved H. longicornis ticks using the data-independent acquisition quantitative proteomic approach to study the proteome changes. Essential synthases such as glutamate synthase, citrate synthase, and ATP synthase were up-regulated probably due to increased proteolysis and amino acid catabolism during starvation. The up-regulation of succinate dehydrogenase, ATP synthase, cytochrome c oxidase, and ADP/ATP translocase closely fits with an increased oxidative phosphorylation function during starvation. The differential expression of superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, thioredoxin, and peroxiredoxin indicated fasting-induced oxidative stress. The up-regulation of heat shock proteins could imply the activation of a protective mechanism that checks excessive protein breakdown during starvation stress. The results of this study could provide useful information about the vulnerabilities of ticks that could aid in tick control efforts. Ticks are a common blood-sucking parasite, which spread many pathogens that cause serious diseases such as Lyme disease to people. Ixodid ticks can take up to three blood meals in their life. During the long process of waiting for their host in the wild, they have evolved a strong ability to tolerate hunger, which should not take more than a year. To study these tenacious molecular regulatory mechanisms, we conducted the DIA quantitative proteomics technology to perform large-scale protein quantitative research on various tissues of Haemaphysalis longicornis starved for a long time. Through the analysis of thousands of proteins produced by the performed research, the results showed that many proteins in the ticks starved for a long time had expressed quantitative changes such as the increased expression of some synthase enzymes. The large amount of data provided by this study can help to better understand the molecular mechanism of ticks’ long-term hunger tolerance. Although this study focuses on finding possible mechanisms for tick starvation resistance at the protein level, the current findings may well have a bearing on research about special activities such as ultra long-distance space travel in the dormant state of the human body in the future.

Abstract
The integration of biological components and artificial devices requires a bio-machine interface that can simultaneously trigger and monitor the activities in biosystems. Herein, we use an organically modified silicate (ormosil) composite coating containing a light-responsive nanocapsule and a fluorescent bioprobe for reactive oxygen species (ROS) to decorate ultrathin optical fibers, namely, ormosil-decorated ultrathin fibers (OD-UFs), and demonstrate that these OD-UFs can optically trigger and monitor the intracellular metabolism activities in living cells. The sizes and shapes of UF tips were finely controlled to match the dimension and mechanical properties of living cells. The increased elasticity of the ormosil coating of OD-UFs reduces possible mechanical damage during the cell membrane penetration. The light-responsive nanocapsule was physically absorbed on the surface of the ormosil coating and could release a stimulant to trigger the metabolism activities in cells upon the guided laser through OD-UFs. The fluorescent bioprobe was covalently linked with the ormosil matrix for monitoring the intracellular ROS generation, which was verified by the in vitro experiments on the microdroplets of a hydrogen peroxide solution. Finally, we found that the living cells could maintain most of their viability after being inserted with OD-UFs, and the intracellular metabolism activities were successfully triggered and monitored at the single-cell level. The OD-UF provides a new platform for the investigation of intracellular behaviors for drug stimulations and represents a new proof of concept for a bio-machine interface based on the optical and chemical activities of organic functional molecules.

Abstract
The carbon dioxide/bicarbonate (CO2/HCO3-) molecular pair is ubiquitous in mammalian cells and tissues, mainly as a result of oxidative decarboxylation reactions that occur during intermediary metabolism. CO2 is in rapid equilibrium with HCO3-via the hydration reaction catalyzed by carbonic anhydrases. Far from being an inert compound in redox biology, CO2 enhances or redirects the reactivity of peroxides, modulating the velocity, extent, and type of one- and two-electron oxidation reactions mediated by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-/ONOOH). Herein, we review the biochemical mechanisms by which CO2 engages in peroxide-dependent reactions, free radical production, redox signaling, and oxidative damage. First, we cover the metabolic formation of CO2 and its connection to peroxide formation and decomposition. Next, the reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and processes by which the CO2/peroxide interplay modulates mammalian cell redox biology are scrutinized in-depth. Importantly, CO2 also regulates gene expression related to redox and nitric oxide metabolism and as such influences oxidative and inflammatory processes. Accumulated biochemical evidence in vitro, in cellula, and in vivo unambiguously show that the CO2 and peroxide metabolic pathways are intertwined and together participate in key redox events in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) mediates pathogen destruction by generating the bactericidal oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Formation of this oxidant is however associated with host tissue damage and disease. MPO also utilizes H2O2 to oxidize other substrates, and we hypothesized that mixtures of other plasma anions, including bromide (Br-), iodide (I-), thiocyanate (SCN-) and nitrite (NO2-), at normal or supplemented concentrations, might modulate MPO-mediated HOCl damage. For the (pseudo)halide anions, only SCN- significantly modulated HOCl formation (IC50 ∼33 μM), which is within the normal physiological range, as judged by damage to human plasma fibronectin or extracellular matrix preparations detected by ELISA and LC-MS. NO2- modulated HOCl-mediated damage, in a dose-dependent manner, at physiologically-attainable anion concentrations. However, this was accompanied by increased tyrosine and tryptophan nitration (detected by ELISA and LC-MS), and the overall extent of damage remained approximately constant. Increasing NO2- concentrations (0.5-20 μM) diminished HOCl-mediated modification of tyrosine and methionine, whereas tryptophan loss was enhanced. At higher NO2- concentrations, enhanced tyrosine and methionine loss was detected. These analytical data were confirmed in studies of cell adhesion and metabolic activity. Together, these data indicate that endogenous plasma levels of SCN- (but not Br- or I-) can modulate protein modification induced by MPO, including the extent of chlorination. In contrast, NO2- alters the type of modification, but does not markedly decrease its extent, with chlorination replaced by nitration. These data also indicate that MPO could be a major source of nitration in vivo, and particularly at inflammatory sites where NO2- levels are often elevated.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the right concentration promote cell proliferation in cell culture, stem cells, and model organisms. However, the mystery of how ROS signaling is coordinated with cell cycle progression and integrated into the cell cycle control machinery on the molecular level remains unsolved. Here, we report increasing levels of mitochondrial ROS during the cell cycle in human cell lines that target cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2). Chemical and metabolic interferences with ROS production decrease T-loop phosphorylation on CDK2 and so impede its full activation and thus its efficient DNA replication. ROS regulate CDK2 activity through the oxidation of a conserved cysteine residue near the T-loop, which prevents the binding of the T-loop phosphatase KAP. Together, our data reveal how mitochondrial metabolism is coupled with DNA replication and cell cycle progression via ROS, thereby demonstrating how KAP activity toward CDKs can be cell cycle regulated. Mitochondrial ROS drive cell cycle progression and proliferation Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is increasingly oxidized during the cell cycle The oxidation state of a conserved cysteine on CDK2 regulates KAP binding CDK2 oxidation promotes T-loop phosphorylation and DNA replication

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been causally linked to various diseases. Electron transport chain (ETC) inhibitors such as rotenone and antimycin A are frequently used in model systems to study oxidative stress. Oxidative stress that is provoked by ETC inhibitors can be visualized using the fluorogenic probe 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein-diacetate (DCFH2-DA). Non-fluorescent DCFH2-DA crosses the plasma membrane, is deacetylated to 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCFH2) by esterases, and is oxidized to its fluorescent form 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) by intracellular ROS. DCF fluorescence can, therefore, be used as a semi-quantitative measure of general oxidative stress. However, the use of DCFH2-DA is complicated by various protocol-related factors that mediate DCFH2-to-DCF conversion independently of the degree of oxidative stress. This study therefore analyzed the influence of ancillary factors on DCF formation in the context of ETC inhibitors. It was found that ETC inhibitors trigger DCF formation in cell-free experiments when they are co-dissolved with DCFH2-DA. Moreover, the extent of DCF formation depended on the type of culture medium that was used, the pH of the assay system, the presence of fetal calf serum, and the final DCFH2-DA solvent concentration. Conclusively, experiments with DCFH2-DA should not discount the influence of protocol-related factors such as medium and mitochondrial inhibitors (and possibly other compounds) on the DCFH2-DA-DCF reaction and proper controls should always be built into the assay protocol.

Abstract
As an emerging therapeutic gas, hydrogen (H2) is gifted with excellent biosafety, high tissue permeability, and radical-trapping capacity and is extensively considered as a highly promising antioxidant in clinics. However, a facile and effective strategy of H2 production for major inflammatory disease treatments is still lacking. In this study, by a facile wet-chemical exfoliation synthesis, a hydrogen-terminated silicon nanosheet (H-silicene) has been synthesized, which can favorably react with environmental water to generate H2 rapidly and continuously without any external energy input. Furthermore, theoretical calculations were employed to reveal the mechanism of enhanced H2 generation efficacy of H-silicene nanosheets. The as-synthesized H-silicene has been explored as a flexible hydrogen gas generator for efficient antioxidative stress application for the first time, which highlights a promising prospect of this two-dimensional H-silicene nanomaterial for acute inflammatory treatments by on-demand H2 production-enabled reactive oxygen species scavenging. This study provides a novel and efficient modality for nanomaterial-mediated H2 therapy.

Abstract
The protein modulation by light illumination enables the biological role investigation in high spatiotemporal precision. Compared to genetic methods, the small molecules approach is uniquely suited for modulating endogenous proteins. The endogenous protein modulation in live cells with small molecules and light has recently advanced on three distinctive frontiers: i) the infrared-light-induced or localized decaging of small molecules by photolysis, ii) the visible-light-induced photocatalytic releasing of small molecules, and iii) the small-molecule-ligand-directed caging for photo-modulation of proteins. Together, these methods provide powerful chemical biology tool kits for spatiotemporal modulation of endogenous proteins with potential therapeutic applications. This Concept aims to inspire organic chemists and chemical biologists to delve into this burgeoning endogenous protein modulation field for new biological discoveries.

Abstract
'Reactive oxygen species' (ROS) is a generic term that defines a wide variety of oxidant molecules with vastly different properties and biological functions that range from signalling to causing cell damage. Consequently, the description of oxidants needs to be chemically precise to translate research on their biological effects into therapeutic benefit in redox medicine. This Expert Recommendation article pinpoints key issues associated with identifying the physiological roles of oxidants, focusing on H2O2 and O2.-. The generic term ROS should not be used to describe specific molecular agents. We also advocate for greater precision in measurement of H2O2, O2.- and other oxidants, along with more specific identification of their signalling targets. Future work should also consider inter-organellar communication and the interactions of redox-sensitive signalling targets within organs and whole organisms, including the contribution of environmental exposures. To achieve these goals, development of tools that enable site-specific and real-time detection and quantification of individual oxidants in cells and model organisms are needed. We also stress that physiological O2 levels should be maintained in cell culture to better mimic in vivo redox reactions associated with specific cell types. Use of precise definitions and analytical tools will help harmonize research among the many scientific disciplines working on the common goal of understanding redox biology.

Abstract
A therapeutic tumor vaccine is a promising approach to cancer treatment. One of its strategies is to treat patient-derived tumor cells in vitro and then administer them in vivo to induce an adaptive immune response and achieve cancer treatment. Here, we want to explore the possibility of converting cancer tissue into a therapeutic tumor vaccine through induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) in situ. We loaded indocyanine green (ICG) into liposomes (ICG-Lipo) and modified it with the pardaxin peptide to realize an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeting function (Par-ICG-Lipo). A microfluidic technique was developed for loading ICG, a water-soluble molecule, into liposomes with a high encapsulation efficiency (greater than 90%). Under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, ER-targeting photodynamic therapy (PDT) induced by Par-ICG-Lipo could promote the release of danger-signaling molecules (DAMPs) and tumor antigens (TAAs) in vivo, which significantly enhanced the immunogenicity in vivo and thus stimulates a strong antitumor immune response. This process would be further amplified by adopting dendritic cells. In general, our strategy transformed in situ tumor cells into therapeutic vaccines by ER-targeting PDT, which could provide a clinically applicable and effective approach for cancer treatment.

Vitamin C Is Essential for the Maintenance of Skeletal Muscle Functions. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11070955.

Abstract
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid, VC) is a water-soluble antioxidant essential for collagen polymerization. Previously, we reported that long-term VC deficiency causes muscle atrophy and deterioration in physical ability using female senescence marker protein-30 (SMP30)-deficient mice with a lack of VC synthesis, which is similar to that observed in humans. To determine whether these findings also hold true for male SMP30-deficient mice, two-month-old male SMP30-deficient mice were divided into two groups: the VC-treated group (VC(+)) was administered 1.5 g/L VC, and the VC-untreated group (VC(−)) was supplied water without VC. The VC level at four weeks in the gastrocnemius muscles from the VC(+) and VC(−) groups was 205.7 ± 8.5 nmol/g tissue and 13.1 ± 0.6 nmol/g tissue, respectively. Thus, four weeks was enough to reduce the VC level in the skeletal muscle in the VC-untreated group. On the other hand, muscle weights of the gastrocnemius, soleus, plantaris, tibialis anterior, and extensor digitorum longus in the VC(−) group were significantly reduced by VC deficiency after twelve weeks. The physical endurance of the VC(−) group at eight weeks was markedly lower than that of the VC(+) group. The grasping strength and activity in the cage in the nocturnal phases of the VC(−) group were markedly lower at twelve and sixteen weeks than those of the VC(+) group. Interestingly, muscle atrophy and declined physical ability were completely restored with VC supplementation for twelve weeks after VC deficiency. Thus, VC is essential for maintaining skeletal muscle function in both male and female SMP30-deficient mice with a lack of VC synthesis.

Abstract
Living organisms need to be able to cope with environmental challenges and other stressors and mount adequate responses that are as varied as the spectrum of those challenges. Understanding how the multi-layered biological stress responses become integrated across and between different levels of organization within an organism can provide a different perspective on the nature and inter-relationship of complex systems in health and disease. We here compare two concepts which have been very influential in stress research: Selye's 'General Adaptation Syndrome' and Sies's 'Oxidative Stress' paradigm. We show that both can be embraced within a more general framework of 'change and response'. The 'Reactive Species Interactome' allows each of these to be considered as distinct but complementary aspects of the same system, representative of roles at different levels of organization within a functional hierarchy. The versatile chemistry of sulfur - exemplified by hydrogen sulfide, glutathione and proteinous cysteine thiols - enriched by its interactions with reactive oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur species, would seem to sit at the heart of the 'Redox Code' and underpin the ability of complex organisms to cope with stress.

Abstract
The development of fluorescent probes derived from thiocarbonyl compounds for reactive oxygen species has been actively pursued in recent years. However, a better understanding of the optical response behaviors of thiocarbonyl compounds toward reactive oxygen species remains a challenge. Along with this, further studies to overcome the limitation of a single emission channel and aggregation-caused quenching features of thiocarbonyl-based fluorescent probes are highly desirable. Due to the important role of hypochlorite and singlet oxygen in biological processes and their common coexistence in living systems with frequent intertransformations, the design of a fluorescent probe that can recognize both hypochlorite and singlet oxygen is of great interest. Herein, a thiocarbonyl-based ratiometric fluorescent probe (Fcoum-S) for simultaneous detection of hypochlorite and singlet oxygen in aqueous solution and living cells was designed and synthesized. Upon the addition of hypochlorite in Fcoum-S solution (phosphate-buffered saline, 10 mM, pH 7.4, 10% acetonitrile), a ratiometric fluorescence response was observed via a specific hypochlorite-promoted desulfurization reaction with a good linear relationship between the ratio of fluorescence intensities at 526 and 602 nm (I 526nm/I 602nm) and the hypochlorite concentrations (a low detection limit of 0.15 μM). Furthermore, upon green light irradiation, Fcoum-S was efficiently desulfurized to its oxo analogue (Fcoum-O) by in situ generated singlet oxygen, leading to a significant change in fluorescence. Fcoum-S could work well in an aqueous medium owing to the high reactivity of the thiocarbonyl group and the aggregation-induced emission characteristics. More importantly, Fcoum-S could target mitochondria and was successfully utilized for fluorescence imaging of mitochondrial hypochlorite/singlet oxygen in live cells. This work provides a molecular design guideline for further exploring thioketone derivatives as fluorescent probes.

Abstract
Luminescence chemosensors are one of the most useful tools for the determination and imaging of small biomolecules and ions in situ in real time. Based on the unique photo-physical/-chemical properties of ruthenium(II) (Ru(II)) complexes, the development of Ru(II) complex-based chemosensors has attracted increasing attention in recent years, and thus many Ru(II) complexes have been designed and synthesized for the detection of ions and small biomolecules in biological and environmental samples. In this work, we summarize the research advances in the development of Ru(II) complex-based chemosensors for the determination of ions and small biomolecules, including anions, metal ions, reactive biomolecules and amino acids, with a particular focus on binding/reaction-based chemosensors for the investigation of intracellular analytes' evolution through luminescence analysis and imaging. The advances, challenges and future research directions in the development of Ru(II) complex-based chemosensors are also discussed.

Evaluation of Hydroxyl Radical Reactivity by Thioether Group Proximity in Model Peptide Backbone: Methionine versus S-Methyl-Cysteine. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23126550. [PMID: 35742994 PMCID: PMC9224496 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23126550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Hydroxyl radicals (HO•) have long been regarded as a major source of cellular damage. The reaction of HO• with methionine residues (Met) in peptides and proteins is a complex multistep process. Although the reaction mechanism has been intensively studied, some essential parts remain unsolved. In the present study we examined the reaction of HO• generated by ionizing radiation in aqueous solutions under anoxic conditions with two compounds representing the simplest model peptide backbone CH3C(O)NHCHXC(O)NHCH3, where X = CH2CH2SCH3 or CH2SCH3, i.e., the Met derivative in comparison with the cysteine-methylated derivative. We performed the identification and quantification of transient species by pulse radiolysis and final products by LC-MS and high-resolution MS/MS after γ-radiolysis. The results allowed us to draw for each compound a mechanistic scheme. The fate of the initial one-electron oxidation at the sulfur atom depends on its distance from the peptide backbone and involves transient species of five-membered and/or six-membered ring formations with different heteroatoms present in the backbone as well as quite different rates of deprotonation in forming α-(alkylthio)alkyl radicals.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the primary histological subtype of liver cancer, and its incidence rates increase with age. Recently, systemic therapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), have been more beneficial than conventional therapies for treating HCC. Nonetheless, the prognosis of late-stage HCC remains dismal because of its high recurrence rates, even with substantial advances in current therapeutic strategies. A new treatment, such as a combination of current systemic therapies, is urgently required. Therefore, we adopted a repurposing strategy and tried to combine ascorbate with TKIs, including lenvatinib and regorafenib, in HepG2 and Hep3B cells. We investigated the potential functional impact of pharmacological concentrations of ascorbate on the cell-cycle profiles, mitochondrial membrane potential, oxidative response, synergistic effects of lenvatinib or regorafenib, and differential responsiveness between HepG2 and Hep3B cells. Our data suggest that the relative level of cell density is an important determinant for ascorbate cytotoxicity in HCC. Furthermore, the data also revealed that the cytotoxic effect of pharmacological concentrations of ascorbate might not be mediated via our proposed elevation of ROS generation. Ascorbate might be involved in redox homeostasis to enhance the efficacy of TKIs in HepG2 and Hep3B cells. The synergistic effects of ascorbate with TKIs (lenvatinib and regorafenib) support their potential as an adjuvant for HCC targeted TKI therapy. This research provides a cheap and new combinatory therapy for HCC treatment.

Abstract
Methionine is an amino acid long thought to be essential, but only in the case of protein synthesis initiation. In more recent years, methionine has been found to play an important role in antioxidant defense, stability, and modulation of cell and protein activity. Though these findings have expanded the previously held sentiment of methionine having a singular purpose within cells and proteins, the essential nature of methionine can still be challenged. Many of the features that give methionine its newfound functions are shared by the other sulfur-containing amino acid: cysteine. While the antioxidant, stabilizing, and cell/protein modulatory functions of cysteine have already been well established, recent findings have shown a similar hydrophobicity to methionine which suggests cysteine may be able to replace methionine in all functions outside of protein synthesis initiation with little effect on cell and protein function. Furthermore, a number of novel mechanisms for alternative initiation of protein synthesis have been identified that suggest a potential to bypass the traditional methionine-dependent initiation during times of stress. In this review, these findings are discussed with a number of examples that demonstrate a potential model for synthesizing a protein in the absence of methionine.

Abstract
p66Shc is a widely expressed protein that governs a variety of cardiovascular pathologies by generating, and exacerbating, pro-apoptotic ROS signals. Here, we review p66Shc’s connections to reactive oxygen species, expression, localization, and discuss p66Shc signaling and mitochondrial functions. Emphasis is placed on recent p66Shc mitochondrial function discoveries including structure/function relationships, ROS identity and regulation, mechanistic insights, and how p66Shc-cyt c interactions can influence p66Shc mitochondrial function. Based on recent findings, a new p66Shc mitochondrial function model is also put forth wherein p66Shc acts as a rheostat that can promote or antagonize apoptosis. A discussion of how the revised p66Shc model fits previous findings in p66Shc-mediated cardiovascular pathology follows.

Multiplex analysis of mass imaging data: Application to the pathology of experimental myocardial infarction. Acta Physiol (Oxf) 2022; 235:e13790.

Abstract
Aim Imaging mass cytometry (IMC) affords simultaneous immune‐labelling/imaging of multiple antigens in the same tissue. Methods utilizing multiplex data beyond co‐registration are lacking. This study developed and applied an innovative spatial analysis workflow for multiplex imaging data to IMC data determined from cardiac tissues and revealed the mechanism(s) of neutrophil‐mediated post‐myocardial‐infarction damage. Methods IMC produced multiplex images with various redox/inflammatory markers. The cardiac peri‐infarct zone (PIZ) was determined to be up to 240 µm from the infarct border based on the presence of neutrophils. The tissue region beyond the infarct was defined as the remote area (RA). ImageJ was used to quantify the immunoreactivity. Functional assessments included infarct size, cell necro/apoptosis, total thiol assay and echocardiogram. Results Expression of damage markers decreased in order from the infarct area to PIZ and then RA, reflecting the neutrophil density in the regions. Concentrically spaced “shoreline contour analysis” around the cardiac infarct extending into the PIZ showed that immunoreactivity for damage markers decreased linearly with increasing distance from the infarct, concomitant with a decreasing neutrophil‐myeloperoxidase (MPO) gradient from the infarct to the PIZ. Stratifying by concentric bands around individual MPO+‐signal identified that the immunoreactivity of haem‐oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) and phosphorylated‐p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (pP38) peaked near neutrophils. Furthermore, spatial dependence between neutrophils and markers of cardiac cellular damage was confirmed by nearest‐neighbour distance analysis. Post‐infarction tissue exhibited declined functional parameters that were associated with neutrophil migration from the infarct to PIZ. Conclusion This image‐based quantitative protocol revealed the spatial association and provided potential molecular pathways responsible for neutrophil‐mediated damage post‐infarction.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in living activities as signaling molecules that regulate the living activities of organisms. There are many types of ROS, mainly including hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hypochlorous acid (HOCl), hydroxyl radical (•OH), peroxyl radical (ROO•), singlet oxygen (1O2), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and superoxide anion radical (O2-•) etc. Existing studies have shown that changes in ROS levels are closely associated with the development of many diseases, such as inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative damage. Small molecule fluorescent probes have been widely used in biology, pathology and medical diagnosis due to their advantages of noninvasive, high sensitivity and in vivo real-time detection. It is extremely important to better apply small-molecule fluorescent probes to detect ROS levels in organisms to achieve early diagnosis of diseases and assessment of therapeutic conditions. This work focuses on summarizing the representative applications of some fluorescent probes in ROS disease models in recent years. This article focuses on summarizing the construction methods of various ROS-related disease models, and classifying and analyzing the basic ideas and methods of fluorescent probes applied to disease models according to the characteristics of various diseases.

Abstract
Research over almost 40 years has established that reactive oxygen species are generated at different sites in skeletal muscle and that the generation of these species is increased by various forms of exercise. Initially, this was thought to be potentially deleterious to skeletal muscle and other tissues, but more recent data have identified key roles of these species in muscle adaptations to exercise. The aim of this review is to summarise our current understanding of these redox signalling roles of reactive oxygen species in mediating responses of muscle to contractile activity, with a particular focus on the effects of ageing on these processes. In addition, we provide evidence that disruption of the redox status of muscle mitochondria resulting from age-associated denervation of muscle fibres may be an important factor leading to an attenuation of some muscle responses to contractile activity, and we speculate on potential mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a key member of the reactive oxygen species family of transient small molecules that has broad contributions to oxidative stress and redox signaling. The development of selective and sensitive chemical probes can enable the study of H2O2 biology in cell, tissue and animal models. Peroxymycin-1 is a histochemical activity-based sensing probe that responds to H2O2 via chemoselective boronate oxidation to release puromycin, which is then covalently incorporated into nascent proteins by the ribosome and can be detected by antibody staining. Here, we describe an optimized two-step, one-pot protocol for synthesizing Peroxymycin-1 with improved yields over our originally reported procedure. We also present detailed procedures for applying Peroxymycin-1 to a broad range of biological samples spanning cells to animal tissues for profiling H2O2 levels through histochemical detection by using commercially available anti-puromycin antibodies. The preparation of Peroxymycin-1 takes 9 h, the confocal imaging experiments of endogenous H2O2 levels across different cancer cell lines take 1 d, the dot blot analysis of mouse liver tissues takes 1 d and the confocal imaging of mouse liver tissues takes 3-4 d.

Abstract
Drosophila melanogaster is a prominent model organism in developmental biology research and in studies related to pathophysiological conditions like cancer and Alzheimer's disease. The fruit fly gut contains several cytochrome P450s (CYP450s) which have central roles in Drosophila development and in the normal physiology of the gut. Since the crystal structures of these proteins have not been deciphered yet, we modeled the structure of 29 different D. melanogaster gut CYP450s using Prime (Schrödinger). The sequences of chosen D. melanogaster gut CYP450s were compared with that of their human counterparts. The common gut (and liver) microsomal CYP450s in humans were chosen for structural comparison to find the homology and identity % of D. melanogaster CYPs with that of their human counterparts. The modeled structures were validated using PROCHECK and the best fit models were used for docking several known human pharmacological agents/drugs to the modeled D. melanogaster gut CYP450s. Based on the binding affinities (ΔG values) of the selected drug molecules with the modeled fly gut CYPs, the plausible differences in metabolism of the prominent drugs in humans and fly were projected. The gut is involved in absorption of oral drugs/pharmacological agents and hence, upregulation of intestinal CYP450 and their reactions with endobiotics and xenobiotics is envisaged. The insights gleaned from this work can validate D. melanogaster as a model organism for studying intestinal drug metabolism, particularly in the context of a) toxicology of pharmacological agents to the gut cells and b) how gut P450 metabolites/products can influence gut homeostasis. This work can help establish a platform for further in vitro investigations on how intestinal CYP450 metabolism can influence gut health. The data from this work can be used for further in silico studies and this work can serve as a platform for future in vitro investigations on intestinal CYP450-mediated metabolism of endo- and xeno-biotics in D. melanogaster.

A reversible mitochondrial complex I thiol switch mediates hypoxic avoidance behavior in C. elegans. Nat Commun 2022; 13:2403.

Abstract
C. elegans react to metabolic distress caused by mismatches in oxygen and energy status via distinct behavioral responses. At the molecular level, these responses are coordinated by under-characterized, redox-sensitive processes, thought to initiate in mitochondria. Complex I of the electron transport chain is a major site of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and is canonically associated with oxidative damage following hypoxic exposure. Here, we use a combination of optogenetics and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing to exert spatiotemporal control over ROS production. We demonstrate a photo-locomotory remodeling of avoidance behavior by local ROS production due to the reversible oxidation of a single thiol on the complex I subunit NDUF-2.1. Reversible thiol oxidation at this site is necessary and sufficient for the behavioral response to hypoxia, does not respond to ROS produced at more distal sites, and protects against lethal hypoxic exposure. Molecular modeling suggests that oxidation at this thiol residue alters the ability for NDUF-2.1 to coordinate electron transfer to coenzyme Q by destabilizing the Q-binding pocket, causing decreased complex I activity. Overall, site-specific ROS production regulates behavioral responses and these findings provide a mechanistic target to suppress the detrimental effects of hypoxia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium ions (Ca2+) are among the major effectors of Ang II (angiotensin II) in vascular smooth muscle cells. ROS are related to Ca2+ signaling or contraction induced by Ang II, but little is known about their detailed functions. Here, NOX (NADPH oxidase), a major ROS source responsive to Ang II, was investigated regarding its contribution to Ca2+ signaling. METHODS Vascular smooth muscle cells were primary cultured from rat aorta. Ca2+ and ROS were monitored mainly using fura-2 and HyPer family probes' respectively. Signals activating NOX were examined with relevant pharmacological inhibitors and genetic manipulation techniques. RESULTS Ang II-induced ROS generation was found to be biphasic: the first phase of ROS production, which was mainly mediated by NOX1, was small and transient, preceding a rise in Ca2+, and the second phase of ROS generation, mediated by NOX1 and NOX4, was slow but sizeable, continuing over tens of minutes. NOX1-derived superoxide in the first phase is required for Ca2+ influx through nonselective cation channels. AT1R (Ang II type 1 receptor)-Gβγ-PI3Kγ (phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ) signaling pathway was responsible for the rapid activation of NOX1 in the first phase, while in the second phase, NOX1 was further activated by a separate AT1R-Gαq/11-PLC (phospholipase C)-PKCβ (protein kinase C β) signaling axis. Consistent with these observations, aortas from NOX1-knockout mice exhibited reduced contractility in response to Ang II, and thus the acute pressor response to Ang II was also attenuated in NOX1-knockout mice. CONCLUSIONS NOX1 mediates Ca2+ signal generation and thereby contributes to vascular contraction and blood pressure elevation by Ang II.

Abstract
The toxic potential of H2O2 is limited, even if intracellular concentrations of H2O2 under conditions of oxidative stress increase to the micromolar concentration range. Its toxicity is mostly restricted to the oxidation of highly reactive thiol groups, some of which are functionally very important. Subsequently, the HO· radical is generated spontaneously from H2O2 in the Fenton reaction. The HO· radical is extremely toxic and destroys any biological structure. Due to the high reactivity, its action is limited to a locally restricted site of its generation. On the other hand, H2O2 with its stability and long half-life can reach virtually any site and distribute its toxic effect all over the cell. Thereby HO·, in spite of its ultra-short half-life (10-9 s), can execute its extraordinary toxic action at any target of the cell. In this oxidative stress scenario, H2O2 is the pro-radical, that spreads the toxic action of the HO· radical. It is the longevity of the H2O2 molecule allowing it to distribute its toxic action from the site of origin all over the cell and may even mediate intercellular communication. Thus, H2O2 acts as a spreader by transporting it to sites where the extremely short-lived toxic HO· radical can arise in the presence of "free iron". H2O2 and HO· act in concert due to their different complementary chemical properties. They are dependent upon each other while executing the toxic effects in oxidative stress under diabetic metabolic conditions in particular in the highly vulnerable pancreatic beta cell, which in contrast to many other cell types is so badly protected against oxidative stress due to its extremely low H2O2 inactivating enzyme capacity.

Abstract
Oxidative stress in organisms is a factor leading to a series of diseases including tumors and neurological disorders, while methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs) may provide an antioxidant and self-repair mechanism through redox cycles of methionine residues in proteins. Thus, it is important to understand the crucial role of Msrs in maintaining the redox homeostasis. However, it remains a great challenge for real-time and quantitative monitoring of Msrs in live systems due to the lack of appropriate sensing tools. Herein, a novel unimolecular platform integrating the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) dual mechanisms was successfully developed. By employing the highly specific Msrs-catalyzed reduction from the electron-withdrawing sulfoxide moiety in the probe to an electron-donating sulfide group, a synergistic ICT-FRET activation process was achieved, leading to a ratiometric fluorescence response toward Msrs with high selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy. Moreover, benefiting from the favorable features, including mitochondria-targeting, near-infrared two-photon excitation, low cytotoxicity, good stability, and biocompatibility, the probe was successfully used for monitoring mitochondrial Msrs levels in live-neurons, and a positively correlated up-regulation of endogenous Msrs levels under O2•- stimulation was observed for the first time, confirming a Msrs-involved adaptive antioxidant mechanism in neurons. Furthermore, two-photon microscopic imaging of various regions in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice brains revealed a down-regulated Msrs levels compared with that in normal brains, especially in the cornuammonis of the hippocampus region, which may in turn lead to an aggravation of AD pathogenesis due to the weakened antioxidant and self-repair capability of neurons.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common cardiac emergencies with high morbidity and is a leading cause of death worldwide. Since MI could develop into a life-threatening emergency and could also seriously affect the life quality of patients, continuous efforts have been made to create an effective strategy to prevent the occurrence of MI and reduce MI-related mortality. Numerous studies have confirmed that neutrophils play important roles in inflammation and innate immunity, which provide the first line of defense against microorganisms by producing inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, releasing reactive oxygen species, and degranulating components of neutrophil cytoplasmic granules to kill pathogens. Recently, researchers reported that neutrophils are closely related to the severity and prognosis of patients with MI, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in post-MI patients had predictive value for major adverse cardiac events. Neutrophils have been increasingly recognized to exert important functions in MI. Especially, granule proteins released by neutrophil degranulation after neutrophil activation have been suggested to involve in the process of MI. This article reviewed the current research progress of neutrophil granules in MI and discusses neutrophil degranulation associated diagnosis and treatment strategies. Video abstract

Basis for using thioredoxin as an electron donor by Schizosaccharomyces pombe Gpx1 and Tpx1. AMB Express 2022; 12:41.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) peroxidases (GPxs or GSHPx) and thioredoxin (Trx) peroxidases (TPxs) are two classes of peroxidases that catalyze the reduction of peroxides. GPxs and TPxs generally use GSH or Trx, respectively, to recycle the oxidized cysteine (Cys) residue in the protein. However, it is unclear why unlike human GPxs, the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Gpx1 (spGpx1) prefers Trx over GSH for recycling of the active-site peroxidatic Cys residue. Here, we compared spGpx1 and S. pombe Tpx1 (spTpx1) protein sequences with those of their respective homologs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and humans. Our analysis revealed that like spTpx1, spGpx1 contains a pair of conserved Cys residues (Cys36 and Cys82). These two conserved Cys residues are named peroxidatic and resolving Cys residues, respectively, and are found only in GPxs and TPxs that prefer Trx as an electron donor. Our analysis suggested that Cys36 and Cys82 in spGpx1 are most likely to form a disulfide bond upon oxidation of Cys36. Molecular modelling predicted that a conformational change might be required for the formation of this disulfide bond. Evolutionary analysis suggested that fungal GPxs and TPxs are related by divergent evolution from a common ancestor. Our analyses support a prediction that while spGpx1 and spTpx1 are phylogenetically and functionally different, they evolved from a common ancestor and use a similar mechanism for recycling of the active-site peroxidatic Cys residue. spGpx1 contains two conserved Cys residues (Cys36 and Cys82), which may form a disulfide bond upon oxidation and the reduction of this disulfide bond is most likely to be mediated by Trx in vivo. Fungal GPxs and TPxs evolved from a common ancestor.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric strategy based electrochemical sensor was developed to quantitative assay of H2O2 in different food samples. 4-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester (ABAPE) dissociation was specifically triggered by H2O2 to generate electro-active 4-aminophenol (4-AP), which not only can be oxidized to indirectly indicate the concentration of H2O2, but also endowed the sensor with high selectivity. Meanwhile, a reference probe of poly(thionine) (TH) was modified with ketjen black (KB) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on electrode surface. KB and AuNPs displayed high electrocatalytic activity to 4-AP. A current ratio between 4-AP and TH (i/iTH) showed a good linear relationship with the concentration of H2O2 in a range of 3.0 × 10-7 - 1.0 × 10-4 mol/L (0.010 ppm - 3.40 ppm) with a limit of detection of 2.6 × 10-7 mol/L (0.009 ppm) (S/N = 3). Moreover, the ratiometric strategy based sensor possessed good accuracy, reliability, and stability, and successfully determined H2O2 in food samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Brain injuries typically result in neural tissue damage and trigger a permanent neurologic deficit. Current methods exhibit limited effects due to the harsh microenvironment of injury regions rich in reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, a microenvironment regulation combined with cellular differentiation strategy is designed for repairing injured nerves. We prepare PMNT/F@D-NP nanoparticles comprising a bioactive polythiophene derivative (PMNT) and fullerenol as a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform. PMNT/F@D-NPs can significantly reduce the accumulation of ROS in the simulated ischemic brain injury trial and inhibit cell apoptosis due to the effective free radical scavenging ability of fullerenol. Interestingly, the bioactive PMNT/F@D-NPs can promote the proliferation and differentiation of neurons, confirmed by immunofluorescence and western blotting studies. This newly developed strategy exhibits a combinatorial therapeutic effect by promoting nerve cell survival and differentiation while improving the microenvironment in the damaged area, which paves the way for the rational design of multifunctional agents for brain injury therapy.

Abstract
Homeostasis of the cellular redox status plays an indispensable role in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Hypochlorite anion (ClO-) and glutathione (GSH) represent an important redox couple to reflect the redox status in living cells. The current cellular redox probes that detect either ClO- or GSH alone are not accurate enough to monitor the real redox status. In this work, a reversible photoacoustic (PA) probe, DiOH-BDP, has been synthesized and applied for PA imaging to monitor the ClO-/GSH couple redox state in an acute liver injury (ALI) model. The near-infrared PA probe DiOH-BDP features significant changes in absorption between 648 and 795 nm during the selective oxidation by ClO- and the reductive recovery of GSH, which exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity toward ClO- and GSH with the limits of detection of 77.7 nM and 7.2 μM, respectively. Additionally, using PA770 as a detection signal allows for the in situ monitoring of the ClO-/GSH couple, which realizes mapping of the localized redox status of the ALI by the virtue of a PA imaging system. Therefore, the probe provides a potentially technical tool to understand redox imbalance-related pathological formation processes.

Abstract
Aberrant production of H2O2 is involved in cancer. The levels of H2O2 are significantly higher in tumor cells than in normal cells. It is important to develop fluorescent probes to image basal H2O2 selectively in tumor cells. So far, a cancer cell-targeting probe to image basal H2O2 has not been reported. Thus, we developed a fluorescent probe, BBHP, which contains benzil as a H2O2-recognition site and biotin as a target binding motif for the selective and sufficient detection of H2O2 in tumor cells. BBHP enables a selective fluorescence turn-on response to H2O2. The binding of the probe with biotin receptors can greatly accelerate the fluorescence response to H2O2. As a result, BBHP can sufficiently image basal H2O2 in biotin receptor-positive cancer cells and tumor tissues. Finally, BBHP was successfully applied to discriminate between cancerous and normal tissues.

Abstract
The reaction of 1 O2 with the amino acids tryptophan and tyrosine, either free or inserted in peptides or proteins, gives rise to hydroperoxides. To understand the impact of these hydroperoxides in complex biological systems, methods allowing their characterization and accurate quantification must be available. In this work, hydroperoxides derived from tryptophan, tyrosine and from peptides containing these amino acids were synthesized by photooxidation, and characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry. In addition, experiments were carried out to compare two colorimetric methods commonly used for quantification of peroxides, namely the iodometric and the ferric-xylenol orange assays. For the tryptophan hydroperoxide, the quantifications obtained by colorimetric methods were then compared to that obtained by NMR. The results showed that for the ferric-xylenol orange, the stoichiometry between peroxide and Fe3+ ions vary considerably. On the other hand, for the iodometric assay, the stoichiometry peroxide : I3 - ions is always 1:1. However, the kinetics of the reactions of peroxides with I- vary, and the assay must be perfomed in anaerobic conditions. Thus, the iodometric method is more appropriate for precise quantification of a given peroxide. The characterization and accurate quantification of biological peroxides is key to understand the mechanisms involved in redox processes.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are well-described agents in physiology and pathology. Chronic inflammation causes incessant H2O2 generation associated with disease occurrences such as diabetes, autoimmunity, and cancer. In cancer, conditioning of the tumor microenvironment, e.g., hypoxia and ROS generation, has been associated with disease outcomes and therapeutic efficacy. Many reports have investigated the roles of the action of H2O2 across many cell lines and disease models. The genes predisposing tumor cell lines to H2O2-mediated demise are less deciphered, however. To this end, we performed in-house transcriptional profiling of 35 cell lines and simultaneously investigated each cell line's H2O2 inhibitory concentration (IC25) based on metabolic activity. More than 100-fold differences were observed between the most resistant and sensitive cell lines. Correlation and gene ontology pathway analysis identified a rigid association with genes intertwined in cell cycle progression and proliferation, as such functional categories dominated the top ten significant processes. The ten most substantially correlating genes (Spearman r > 0.70 or < -0.70) were validated using qPCR, showing complete congruency with microarray analysis findings. Western blotting confirmed the correlation of cell cycle-related proteins negatively correlating with H2O2 IC25. Top genes related to ROS production or antioxidant defense were only modest in correlation (Spearman r > 0.40 or < -0.40). In conclusion, our in-house transcriptomic correlation analysis revealed a set of cell cycle-associated genes associated with a priori resistance or sensitivity to H2O2-induced cellular demise with the detailed and causative roles of individual genes remaining unclear.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an important component for maintaining normal physiological activities in organisms, and abnormal changes in their level are often accompanied by many diseases. As the two most representative components of ROS, HClO and H2O2 play vital roles in many physiological and pathological processes and are interdependent and mutually transformable. Although there is a lot of work that has specifically detected HClO or H2O2, there are few reports on the simultaneous differential detection of HClO and H2O2. Here, we report a ratio-based fluorescent probe capable of simultaneously distinguishing HClO and H2O2 based on making the best use of the untapped potential of coumarin derivatives. This probe was triumphantly put into use in the discriminative identification of HClO and H2O2 in aqueous media with high sensitivity and selectivity, and the probe was appropriate in a wide pH range. Furthermore, the imaging experiment for HClO and H2O2 in cells and zebrafish was eventually proven to be feasible. Importantly, this probe was qualified for monitoring the variation of HClO and H2O2 levels in organisms with alcoholic liver injury.
