Abstract
Covalent amino acid modification significantly expands protein functional capability in regulating biological processes. Tyrosine residues can undergo phosphorylation, sulfation, adenylation, halogenation, and nitration. These posttranslational modifications (PTMs) result from the actions of specific enzymes: tyrosine kinases, tyrosyl-protein sulfotransferase(s), adenylate transferase(s), oxidoreductases, peroxidases, and metal-heme containing proteins. Whereas phosphorylation, sulfation, and adenylation modify the hydroxyl group of tyrosine, tyrosine halogenation and nitration target the adjacent carbon residues. Because aberrant tyrosine nitration has been associated with human disorders and with animal models of disease, we have created an updated and curated database of 908 human nitrated proteins. We have also analyzed this new resource to provide insight into the role of tyrosine nitration in cancer biology, an area that has not previously been considered in detail. Unexpectedly, we have found that 879 of the 1971 known sites of tyrosine nitration are also sites of phosphorylation suggesting an extensive role for nitration in cell signaling. Overall, the review offers several forward-looking opportunities for future research and new perspectives for understanding the role of tyrosine nitration in cancer biology.

Inhibition Mechanism of Components Isolated from Morus alba Branches on Diabetes and Diabetic Complications via Experimental and Molecular Docking Analyses. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11020383. [PMID: 35204264 PMCID: PMC8869400 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020383] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Previously, we reported the anti-diabetic effect of Morus alba root bark and the compounds therein. In our continuous study of other parts of this plant, the ability of the branch of Morus alba to inhibit α-glucosidase, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation was evaluated. Moreover, there are no previous studies that have performed enzyme kinetics and molecular docking analyses, along with assessments of peroxynitrite (ONOO−) inhibitory activities. Since the Morus alba branch exhibited favorable inhibitory effects, repeated column chromatography was performed to obtain eight compounds, including four flavonoids (1, 3, 6, 8), one arylbenzofuran (2), one stilbene (5), one Diels–Alder-type adduct (7), and one sterol (4). Among them, compounds 1–3 and 5–7 were mixed-type inhibitors of α-glucosidase, sharing the same catalytic residues with acarbose and the same allosteric sites with (Z)-3-bytylidenephthalide. On the other hand, kuwanon C (1) and oxyresveratrol (5) interacted with residues of the allosteric site (α3 and α6 helices) of PTP1B, indicating their use as non-competitive inhibitors. Interestingly, kuwanon G (7) directly bound the catalytic site, or interrupted the binding between the substrate and the active site, as a mixed-type inhibitor. Moreover, most of the compounds exhibited greater activity against AGE formation and ONOO− than positive controls. The IC50 values required to inhibit ONOO− using compounds 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 were reported for the first time, and range from 1.08 to 12.92 μM. Based on the structure–activity relationship, the presence of hydroxyl, resorcinol, and prenyl moieties was important in the prevention of diabetes’ pathological mechanisms, and these findings have been further supported by molecular docking analysis. These computational and experimental results will be useful in the development of therapeutic candidates to prevent/treat diabetes and its complications.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical acting as a cellular signaling molecule in many different biochemical processes. NO is synthesized from l-arginine through the action of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) family of enzymes, which includes three isoforms: endothelial NOS (eNOS), neuronal NOS (nNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS). iNOS-derived NO has been associated with the pathogenesis and progression of several diseases, including liver diseases, insulin resistance, obesity and diseases of the cardiovascular system. However, transient NO production can modulate metabolism to survive and cope with stress conditions. Accumulating evidence strongly imply that iNOS-derived NO plays a central role in the regulation of several biochemical pathways and energy metabolism including glucose and lipid metabolism during inflammatory conditions. This review summarizes current evidence for the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism by iNOS during inflammation, and argues for the role of iNOS as a metabolic enzyme in immune and non-immune cells.

Abstract
Aging has been related to zinc deficiency, resulting in protein oxidation and age-related decline of methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) activity. This study was designed to investigate the levels of methionine sulfoxide reductase B1 (MsrB1) mRNA and oxidized proteins in human lens epithelial (hLE) cells after treatment with exogenous zinc. The role of exogenous zinc in regulation of MsrB1 gene expression and protein oxidation in hLE cells was studied by MTT assay, oxidized protein measurement kit, and real-time PCR. The results showed that hLE cell viability was significantly decreased by MsrB1 gene knockdown or peroxynitrite (ONOO-) treatment, while it was significantly increased after treatment with exogenous zinc (P < 0.05). Protein carbonyl content in hLE cell by MsrB1 gene knockdown or ONOO- treatment was significantly decreased after treatment with ZnSO4 (P < 0.01). And exogenous zinc could increase the level of MsrB1 in hLE cell under normal (P < 0.001) and oxidative stress (P < 0.01) conditions. In conclusion, exogenous zinc could protect hLE cells against MsrB1 gene knockdown or ONOO--induced cell death by upregulation of MsrB1 involved in the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidized proteins.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests a potential pro-diabetic effect of selenite treatment in type 2 diabetics; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here we investigated the effects and the underlying mechanisms of selenite treatment in a nongenetic mouse model of type 2 diabetes. High-fat diet (HFD)/streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice were orally gavaged with selenite at 0.5 or 2.0mg/kg body weight/day or vehicle for 4 weeks. High-dose selenite treatment significantly elevated fasting plasma insulin levels and insulin resistance index, in parallel with impaired glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance and pyruvate tolerance. High-dose selenite treatment also attenuated hepatic IRS1/Akt/FoxO1 signaling and pyruvate kinase gene expressions, but elevated the gene expressions of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxyl kinase (PEPCK), glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase), peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) and selenoprotein P (SelP) in the liver. Furthermore, high-dose selenite treatment caused significant increases in MDA contents, protein carbonyl contents, and a decrease in GSH/GSSG ratio in the liver, concurrent with enhanced ASK1/MKK4/JNK signaling. Taken together, these findings suggest that high-dose selenite treatment exacerbates hepatic insulin resistance in mouse model of type 2 diabetes, at least in part through oxidative stress-mediated JNK pathway, providing new mechanistic insights into the pro-diabetic effect of selenite in type 2 diabetes.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2013; 443:876-81.

Abstract
F-actin plays a crucial role in fundamental cellular processes, and is extremely susceptible to peroxynitrite attack due to the high abundance of tyrosine in the peptide. Methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) B1 is a selenium-dependent enzyme (selenoprotein R) that may act as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger. However, its function in coping with reactive nitrogen species (RNS)-mediated stress and the physiological significance remain unclear. Thus, the present study was conducted to elucidate the role and mechanism of MsrB1 in protecting human lens epithelial (hLE) cells against peroxynitrite-induced F-actin disruption. While exposure to high concentrations of peroxynitrite and gene silencing of MsrB1 by siRNA alone caused disassembly of F-actin via inactivation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in hLE cells, the latter substantially aggravated the disassembly of F-actin triggered by the former. This aggravation concurred with elevated nitration of F-actin and inactivation of ERK compared with that induced by the peroxynitrite treatment alone. In conclusion, MsrB1 protected hLE cells against the peroxynitrite-induced F-actin disruption, and the protection was mediated by inhibiting the resultant nitration of F-actin and inactivation of ERKs.

Abstract
Methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs) in lens cells are important for the maintenance of lens cell viability and resistance to oxidative stress damage. Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), as a strong oxidizing and nitrating agent, occurred in diabetic retinopathy patients and diabetic model animal. In an attempt to shed light on the roles of MsrB1, known as selenoprotein R, in protecting human lens epithelial (HLE) cells against peroxynitrite damage, and contribution of loss of its normal activity to cataract, the influences of MsrB1 gene silencing on peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis in HLE cells were studied. The results showed that both exogenous peroxynitrite and MsrB1 gene silencing by short interfering RNA (siRNA) independently resulted in oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, activation of caspase-3 as well as an increase of apoptosis in HLE cells; moreover, when MsrB1-gene-silenced cells were exposed to 300 μM peroxynitrite, these indexes were further aggravated at the same conditions and DNA strand breaks occurred. The results demonstrate that in HLE cells MsrB1 may play important roles in regulating redox balance and mitigating ER stress as induced by oxidative stress under physiological conditions; MsrB1 may also protect HLE cells against peroxynitrite-induced apoptosis by inhibiting the activation of caspase-3 and oxidative damage of DNA under pathological conditions. Our results imply that loss of its normal activity is likely to contribute to cataract.

Abstract
AIM The antioxidative and antinitrative activities of (1→3)-β-D-glucan (1-4μg/ml) from the yeast cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in human plasma treated with strong oxidants - peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) (0.1mM) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) (2mM) were studied in vitro. The main purpose of this study was to assess if (1→3)-β-D-glucan, a well known strong immunostimulatory agent, possesses a protective function against dual mechanism of ONOO(-) stroke associated with nitrative and oxidative damages to human plasma biomolecules. SCOPE The protein changes were determined in vitro by estimating the level of oxidative stress markers - carbonyl groups, and nitrative products - 3-nitrotyrosine residues. The plasma lipid peroxidation was also investigated. The obtained results show that (1→3)-β-D-glucan inhibits in vitro ONOO(-)-induced oxidation and nitration of plasma proteins, even by 50% and 30%, respectively. The antioxidative activity of (1→3)-β-D-glucan was confirmed by its inhibitory effect on plasma lipids peroxidation induced by ONOO(-) or by H(2)O(2). CONCLUSIONS The obtained results demonstrate that (1→3)-β-D-glucan from S. cerevisiae protects plasma components against toxic effects of ONOO(-) and H(2)O(2) due to its antioxidative and antinitrative activities. Therefore (1→3)-β-D-glucan supplementation during inflammatory may be beneficial not only regard for its ability to stimulate the immune system but also by antioxidative properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study was undertaken to assess the contribution of inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) to lipid-induced insulin resistance in vivo. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Wild-type and iNOS(-/-) mice were infused for 6 h with a 20% intralipid emulsion, during which a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp was performed. RESULTS In wild-type mice, lipid infusion led to elevated basal hepatic glucose production and marked insulin resistance as revealed by impaired suppression of liver glucose production and reduced peripheral glucose disposal (R(d)) during insulin infusion. Liver insulin resistance was associated with a robust induction of hepatic iNOS, reduced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR) beta, insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, and IRS-2 but elevated serine phosphorylation of IRS proteins as well as decreased Akt activation. The expression of gluconeogenic enzymes Pepck and G6Pc was also increased in the liver of wild-type mice. In contrast to their wild-type counterparts, iNOS(-/-) mice were protected from lipid-induced hepatic and peripheral insulin resistance. Moreover, neither the phosphorylation of insulin signaling intermediates nor expression of gluconeogenic enzymes were altered in the lipid-infused iNOS(-/-) mice compared with their saline-infused controls. Importantly, lipid infusion induced tyrosine nitration of IRbeta, IRS-1, IRS-2, and Akt in wild-type mice but not in iNOS(-/-) animals. Furthermore, tyrosine nitration of hepatic Akt by the NO derivative peroxynitrite blunted insulin-induced Akt tyrosine phosphorylation and kinase activity. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that iNOS induction is a novel mechanism by which circulating lipids inhibit hepatic insulin action. Our results further suggest that iNOS may cause hepatic insulin resistance through tyrosine nitration of key insulin signaling proteins.
