Singh D, Yadav A, Singh C. Autonomous regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase and cytochrome P450 2E1-mediated oxidative stress in maneb- and paraquat-treated rat polymorphs. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2021; 178:104944. [PMID: 34446210 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2021.104944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Revised: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Maneb (MB)- and paraquat (PQ)-induced oxidative stress in rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) is regulated in parallel by cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). However, mechanism underlying their regulation is not yet understood. The study investigated the role of nuclear factor- kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal regulated kinase/protein kinase C (MEK/ERK/PKC) pathway in the regulation of iNOS- and CYP2E1-induced oxidative stress in PMNs. MB + PQ-induced changes in nitrite content, lipid peroxidation (LPO), iNOS expression/activity and inflammatory mediators were alleviated by aminoguanidine (AG), an iNOS inhibitor, without any change in CYP2E1. Alternatively, diallyl sulphide (DAS), a CYP2E1 inhibitor, rescued from MB + PQ-induced changes in CYP2E1 activity/expression, free radical generation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, LPO and pro-inflammatory cytokines without any alterations in nitrite content and iNOS activity/expression. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), NF-κB inhibitor, did not alter CYP2E1 but mitigated free radical generation, SOD activity, LPO, nitrite content, iNOS activity/expression and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukine-1β and interleukine-4). Ex-vivo treatment with MEK inhibitor (PD98059), ERK1/2 inhibitor (AG126) or PKC inhibitor (rottlerin) ameliorated MB + PQ-induced increase in free radical generation and CYP2E1 activity/expression in PMNs. While PD98059 and AG126 abated MB + PQ-induced increase in ERK1/2, PKC-α/δ and CYP2E1 levels, rottlerin restored PKC-α/δ and CYP2E1 towards normalcy without affecting ERK1/2 level in MB + PQ-treated group. The results suggest that iNOS and CYP2E1 contributing to MB + PQ-induced oxidative stress in rat PMNs exhibit differential regulatory mechanisms. The inflammatory mediators regulate iNOS expression while CYP2E1 expression is triggered via MEK-ERK1/2-PKC pathway.

iASPP-Mediated ROS Inhibition Drives 5-Fu Resistance Dependent on Nrf2 Antioxidative Signaling Pathway in Gastric Adenocarcinoma. Dig Dis Sci 2020; 65:2873-2883. [PMID: 31938994 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-019-06022-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Inhibitor for the apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53 (iASPP) has been reported to be correlated with 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) resistance in renal cell carcinoma. Here, we uncover mechanisms of iASPP-Nrf2-ROS regulation of 5-Fu resistance which are important for the development of alternative treatment strategies for gastric adenocarcinoma treatment. METHODS We analyzed iASPP and Nrf2 through TCGA RNA-seq data, UALCAN analysis, and cBioPortal datasets. Intracellular ROS generation was determined by 2',7'-dichloro-fluorescin diacetate staining. Transwell was used to evaluate the invasion. The expression of iASPP, Nrf2, HO-1, and GSTP1 was tested using western blot. RESULTS We found that iASPP KD led to an apparent 5-Fu-induced ROS accumulation in MGC803 and SCG790 cells. Accompanied by iASPP KD, Nrf2 was markedly decreased. iASPP-induced ROS inhibition relies on Nrf2, and due to both knocked down iASPP and Nrf2, the level of ROS did not show an obvious difference with Nrf2 KD solely. Similarly, iASPP KD failed to enhance the Nrf2 KD-mediated ROS accumulation after 5-Fu treatment, suggesting that iASPP-induced antioxidative effects related to 5-Fu resistance are partially dependent on Nrf2. Also, the combination of iASPP KD and Nrf2 KD did not show any synergistic effect on apoptosis after 5-Fu treatment in MGC803 and SCG790 cells. Further studies revealed that iASPP KD or Nrf2 KD could decrease the expression of HO-1 and GSTP1. CONCLUSIONS Our data highlight that iASPP plays a crucial role in the inhibition of 5-Fu-induced apoptosis resistance by removing ROS accumulation in gastric adenocarcinoma, and that the removal of ROS induced by iASPP is Nrf2 signaling dependent.

Abstract
Chronic exposure to 1-bromopropane (1-BP), an alternative to ozone-depleting solvents, produces potential neurotoxicity in occupational populations. However, no therapeutic strategy is available currently. Accumulating evidence suggests that cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) is critical for the active metabolism of 1-BP. The purpose of this study is aimed to test whether inhibition of CYP2E1 by allyl sulfide, a specific inhibitor of CYP2E1, could be able to protect against 1-BP-induced neurotoxicity. Male Wistar rats were intoxicated with 1-BP for 9 continuous weeks with or without allyl sulfide pretreatment. Results clearly demonstrated that 1-BP exposure induced decrease in NeuN+ cells and increase in cleaved caspase-3 expression and TUNEL+ cells in motor cortex of rats, which was significantly ameliorated by allyl sulfide. Allyl sulfide treatment also recovered the motor performance of rats treated with 1-BP. Mechanistically, allyl sulfide-inhibited 1-BP-induced expression of CYP2E1 in microglia, which was associated with suppression of microglial activation and M1 polarization in motor cortex of rats. Reduced oxidative stress was also observed in rats treated with combined allyl sulfide and 1-BP compared with 1-BP alone group. Furthermore, we found that allyl sulfide abrogated 1-BP-induced activation of Nuclear factor(NF)-κB and GSH/Thioredoxin/ASK1 pathways, the key factor for the maintenance of M1 microglial inflammatory response and oxidative stress-related neuronal apoptosis, respectively. Thus, our results showed that allyl sulfide exerted neuroprotective effects in combating 1-BP-induced neurotoxicity through inhibition of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Blocking CYP2E1 activity by allyl sulfide might be a promising avenue for the treatment of neurotoxicity elicited by 1-BP and other related neurotoxicants.

Abstract
Velvet antler is one of the most important animal medicines or functional foods widely used in East Asia for many centuries, which has several biological activities including anti-ageing and health promotion. To date, the mechanism underlying these effects of velvet antler is widely studied by its protein or polypeptide components. Few studies have been reported for the function of the other components in velvet antler. Herein, C. elegans is used as the model animal to dissect how none protein components of velvet antler affect in vivo oxidative stress. Methanol extracts (MEs) from velvet antler which has few protein components extends the maximum lifespan of C. elegans compared to the control under oxidative stress, while water extracts (WEs) which is protein-rich component has no apparent function. The activity of MEs is mediated by clk-1 signaling pathway, but not via daf-2, eat-2 or glp-1 pathway. Further investigations show MEs decrease endogenous ROS by promoting SKN-1 nuclei translocation, subsequently up-regulating the expression of its target genes gst-4, gst-7 and gst-10 in C. elegans. In all, MEs, the none protein components of velvet antler, protects against oxidative stress in C. elegans, which indicates it might be a product with potential of being a curative medicine.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is generally recognized as a highly poisonous environmental and industrial pollutant. Previous toxicological studies of H2S are mainly focused on the nervous and cardiovascular system. There are few reports on the H2S toxicity effects on jejunum to our knowledge. Our study examined the morphological changes and antioxidant functions of broiler jejunum after the 42-day exposure to H2S. Effects of H2S on morphological damage and immune function in the broiler jejunum were analyzed from the perspective of CYP450s and oxidative stress via transcriptomics and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). It was found that the activities of GPx, CAT, SOD, and T-AOC and the level of GSH were observably decreased (P < 0.05), while the contents of MDA and H2O2 were remarkably increased (P < 0.05) in the jejunums of broilers exposed to H2S, which undergone a process of oxidative stress, and typical inflammatory changes and apoptosis could be observed. Transcriptional profiling results showed that 208 genes were significantly up-regulated while 295 genes were remarkably down-regulated in H2S group. The expression of CYP450s, inflammation and apoptosis-related genes were also significantly increased. In conclusion, H2S led to the redox homeostasis disorder through CYP450s differential expression in broiler jejunum. The jejunal inflammatory response, apoptosis along with the immune dysfunction were subsequently observed, which eventually caused jejunal morphology and functional damage. The present study further enriches and perfects the mechanism theory of H2S toxicity on broilers, which may be valuable for the risk assessment of H2S and human health protection.

Abstract
Despite the role of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) in the detoxification of endogenous aldehydes, the defective polymorphism (rs671), which is highly prevalent among East Asians, does not show a serious phenotype, such as congenital abnormality. However, unfavorable and favorable impacts of the variant allele, ALDH2*2, on various disease risks have been reported. The underlying mechanisms are often complicated due to the compensatory aldehyde detoxification systems. As the phenotypes emerge due to overlapping environmental factors (e.g., alcohol intake and tobacco smoke) or individual vulnerabilities (e.g., aging and apolipoprotein E ε4 allele), polymorphism is therefore considered to be important in the field of preventative medicine. For example, it is important to recognize that ALDH2*2 carriers are at a high risk of alcohol drinking-related cancers; however, their drinking habit has less adverse effects on physiological indices, such as blood pressure, body mass index, levels of lipids, and hepatic deviation enzymes in the blood, than in non-ALDH2*2 carriers. Therefore, opportunities to reconsider their excessive drinking habit before adverse events occur can be missed. To perform effective disease prevention, the effects of ALDH2*2 on various diseases and the biological mechanisms should be clarified.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is recognized as one of the major wrongdoers in Parkinson's disease (PD) while glutathione S-transferase (GST), an endogenous antioxidant, protects from oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration. Despite GST-pi (GST-π) encounters the toxic manifestations in PD, its role in zinc (Zn)-induced nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration remains elusive. The study aimed to explore the role of GST-π in Zn-induced Parkinsonism and its underlying molecular mechanism. Male Wistar rats were treated intraperitoneally with zinc (zinc sulfate), twice a week, for 2-12 weeks. GST-π inducer, benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) was also administered in a few sets of experiments along with respective vehicle. Catalytic activity and expression of GST-π protein, total GST activity, neurobehavioral indexes, striatal dopamine and its metabolites, nigral tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons and expression of TH and B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) proteins were reduced in Zn-treated rats. Conversely, oxidative stress indicators, c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, c-jun phosphorylation, cytochrome c release, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) translocation, and procaspase 3/9 to caspase 3/9 conversion were significantly increased in Zn-exposed rats. BITC ameliorated GST-π activity/expression and normalized Zn-induced changes in neurodegenerative indicators, oxidative stress, JNK activation, c-jun phosphorylation and apoptotic indexes. The results demonstrate that Zn inhibits GST-π expression leading to increased oxidative stress and JNK activation, which induce apoptosis thereby degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons.

Abstract
Unlike genetic alterations in other aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) isozymes, a defective ALDH2 polymorphism (rs671), which is carried by almost half of East Asians, does not show a clear phenotype such as a shortened life span. However, impacts of a defective ALDH2 allele, ALDH2*2, on various disease risks have been reported. As ALDH2 is responsible for the detoxification of endogenous aldehydes, a negative effect of this polymorphism is predicted, but bidirectional effects have been actually observed and the mechanisms underlying such influences are often complex. One reason for this complexity may be the existence of compensatory aldehyde detoxification systems and the secondary effects of these systems. There are many issues to be addressed with regard to the ALDH2 polymorphism in the field of preventive medicine, including the following concerns. First, ALDH2 in the fetal stage plays a role in aldehyde detoxification; therefore, prenatal health effects of environmental aldehyde exposure are of concern for ALDH2*2-carrying fetuses. Second, ALDH2*2 carriers are at high risk of drinking-related cancers. However, their drinking habits result in less worsening of physiological findings, such as energy metabolism index and liver functions, compared with non-ALDH2*2 carriers, and therefore opportunities to detect excessive drinking can be lost. Third, personalized medicine such as personalized prescriptions for ALDH2*2 carriers will be required in the clinical setting, and accumulation of evidence is awaited. Lastly, since the ALDH2 polymorphism is not considered in workers' limits of exposure to aldehydes and their precursors, efforts to lower exposure levels beyond legal standards are required.

Abstract
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) comprise a number of genes that codify for a group of isoenzymes that participate in phase II xenobiotic detoxification by means of conjugation with glutathione, producing hydrosoluble compounds. It has been demonstrated that some pesticides are substrates for GST isoenzymes. Floriculture is one of the main economic activities in the municipalities of Villa Guerrero and Atlacomulco; pesticides, applied as mixtures, are intensively used in this activity. In this study, total GST enzymatic activity and glutathione S-transferases theta 1 (GSTT1) enzymatic activity were calculated for a group of floriculture workers exposed to pesticides and for an unexposed group. The former comprised 169 floriculture workers, while the latter, 96 students. The value of the median GST enzymatic activity in the exposed group was 0.560 and 0.169 μmol/min/mL in the unexposed individuals. GSTT1 activity was 1.234 μmol/min/mL in the exposed group and 0.221 μmol/min/mL in the unexposed group. Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference between these groups, for both total GST and GSTT1, p < 0.001. Our results show that exposure to pesticides increases the activities of total GST and GSTT1 enzymes.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1 is an important enzyme involved in the metabolism of many endogenous and exogenous compounds. It is essential to evaluate the expression of CYP2E1 in the studies of drug–drug interactions and the screening of drugs, natural products, and foodstuffs. The present work is a feasibility study on the development of immunoassays using a specific and sensitive chicken-sourced anti-CYP2E1 IgY antibody. Cloning, expression, and purification of a recombinant CYP2E1 (mice origin) protein were carried out. Anti-CYP2E1 IgY antibodies were generated by immunizing white Leghorn chickens with purified recombinant CYP2E1 protein and were purified by immune affinity chromatography. The IgY titer attained a peak level (≥1:128,000) after the fifth booster injection. For evaluation of the expression of CYP2E1 in different herbal treatment samples, the mice were treated by oral gavage for 3 days with alcohol (50% 15 mL/kg), acetaminophen (APAP, 300 mg/kg), Cornus officinalis extract (100 mg/kg), Alhagi-honey extract (100 mg/kg), Apocynum venetum extract (100 mg/kg), hyperoside (50 mg/kg), isoquercetin (50 mg/kg), 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (50 mg/kg), 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (50 mg/kg), and 3,4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (50 mg/kg). The expression of CYP2E1 was determined by Western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, and immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) using anti-CYP2E1 IgY in liver tissue. The results showed that C. officinalis extract, Alhagi-honey extract, A. venetum extract, hyperoside, isoquercetin, and their xenobiotics 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and 3,4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid significantly decreased CYP2E1 levels. Alcohol and APAP treatments significantly increased CYP2E1 levels as analyzed with Western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA. The IMB method is suitable for large-scale screening, and it is a rapid screening (20 min) that uses a portable magnet and has no professional requirements for the operator, which makes it useful for on-the-spot analysis. Considering these results, the anti-CYP2E1 IgY could be applied as a novel research tool in screening for the CYP2E1 inhibitor/enhancer.

Abstract
Paraquat and maneb are identified environmental pollutants. Combined exposure to paraquat and maneb is a latent risk factor for many diseases, particularly those of the central nervous system, including Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Hippocampus is the key structure in memory formation and babies are more sensitive to environmental stimuli than adults, so we investigated the neurotoxicity of paraquat and maneb on the hippocampi of rat pups. Female and male Sprague-Dawley rats were mated (female : male = 2 : 1) every night for a week. The gravid rats were randomly divided into three groups (one control and two experimental groups). A mixed solution of paraquat-maneb was administered twice a week by lavage at a dose of 10 or 15 mg kg(-1) bodyweight (containing 30 or 45 mg kg(-1) bodyweight maneb, respectively) from day 6 after pregnancy till ablactation. Maternal weight gain and offspring bodyweights were not affected by the drugs. However, behavioral tests showed that reaction latency and mistake frequency increased after treatment. Intuitively, we found significant changes in the hippocampal neurons in the morphological observation. Taking into account the interaction of the related genes in the cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway, we used a variety of methods to detect the gene and protein levels. Reduced expression of cAMP and related genes and proteins in the hippocampus and serum was also observed. These results indicate that PQ-MB stimulates cAMP to reduce the production of PKA, thus reducing the phosphorylation of CREB and inhibiting the activation of other elements (BDNF, C-JUN, and C-FOS). These changes lead to hippocampal damage and impaired abilities (learning, cognition, and memory). Our results demonstrate that PQ-MB induces hippocampal toxicity in the early life of rats, and they thus provide a theoretical foundation for further investigation of the bathypelagic mechanism involved and measures that can be taken to avoid PQ-MB neurotoxicity.

Abstract
A genetic polymorphism of the aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene, ALDH2*2, encodes an enzymatically defective ALDH2 protein. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that possessing ALDH2*2 is a protective factor for liver tissue in healthy individuals, although these studies lack a mechanistic explanation. Our animal studies have shown the same trend: levels of serum alanine transaminase (ALT), hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA), and hepatic tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were lower in Aldh2 knockout (Aldh2(-/-)) mice than in wild-type (Aldh2(+/+)) mice after ethanol administration. To propose a mechanistic hypothesis, residual liver specimens from the previous experiment were analyzed. An anti-oxidative protein, heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), and an oxidative stress-producing protein, cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), were detected at higher levels in Aldh2(-/-) mice than in Aldh2(+/+) mice, regardless of ethanol treatment. Other oxidative stress-related proteins and inflammatory cytokines did not show such a significant difference. To conclude, we propose a protective role of HO-1 in individuals with ALDH2*2. Our continued studies support the epidemiological finding that possession of ALDH2*2 is a protective factor in the liver of the healthy individual.

NADPH oxidase mediated maneb- and paraquat-induced oxidative stress in rat polymorphs: Crosstalk with mitochondrial dysfunction. PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2015; 123:74-86.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a key factor in Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and impaired mitochondrion regulate oxidative stress-mediated maneb (MB)- and paraquat (PQ)-induced Parkinsonism. However, their contribution in the MB- and PQ-induced toxicity in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) is still elusive. The study investigated the role of NADPH oxidase and mitochondria in MB- and/or PQ-induced oxidative stress in the PMNs and the crossing point between the two. Animals were treated with MB and/or PQ for 1-3 weeks along with respective controls. In a few sets of experiments, rats were treated with/without NADPH oxidase inhibitor, apocynin, an hour prior to MB and/or PQ treatment. PMNs of MB and/or PQ treated animals were also treated with/without carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) to assess the role of the mitochondria in superoxide and total free radical productions. MB and/or PQ were found to increase the level of total reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide radicals, catalytic activity and expression of NADPH oxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD1/2) and mitochondrial ROS content in a time dependent manner. Conversely, catalase activity and mitochondrial membrane potential were attenuated. Apocynin alleviated MB- and/or PQ-induced changes in total ROS, superoxide radicals, expression/catalytic activity of NADPH oxidase and SOD1/2 along with the mitochondrial ROS and membrane potential. CCCP also inhibited ROS and superoxide levels in the PMNs of MB and/or PQ-treated animals. The results demonstrate the involvement of NADPH oxidase and mitochondrial dysfunction in MB and PQ-induced oxidative stress in PMNs and a plausible crosstalk between them.
