JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2025; 336:118714. [PMID: 39181289 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Gelsemium dynamized dilutions (GDD) are known as a remedy for a wide range of behavioral and psychological symptoms of depression and anxiety at ultra-low doses, yet the underlying mechanisms of the mode of action of G. sempervirens itself are not well understood. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study was designed to examine the neuroprotective effects of Gelsemium preparations in counteracting stress-related mitochondrial dysfunctions in neuronal cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS We started by studying how serum deprivation affects the mitochondrial functions of human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells. Next, we looked into the potential of various Gelsemium dilutions to improve cell survival and ATP levels. After identifying the most effective dilutions, 3C and 5C, we tested their ability to protect SH-SY5Y cells from stress-induced mitochondrial deficits. We measured total and mitochondrial superoxide anion radicals using fluorescent dyes dihydroethidium (DHE) and the red mitochondrial superoxide indicator (MitoSOX). Additionally, we assessed total nitric oxide levels with 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2DA), examined the redox state using pRA305 cells stably transfected with a plasmid encoding a redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein, and analyzed mitochondrial network morphology using an automated high-content analysis device, Cytation3. Furthermore, we investigated bioenergetics by measuring ATP production with a bioluminescence assay (ViaLighTM HT) and evaluated mitochondrial respiration (OCR) and glycolysis (ECAR) using the Seahorse Bioscience XF24 Analyzer. Finally, we determined cell survival using an MTT reduction assay. RESULTS Our research indicates that Gelsemium dilutions (3C and 5C) exhibited neuroprotective effects by: - Normalizing total and mitochondrial superoxide anion radicals and total nitric oxide levels. - Regulating the mitochondrial redox environment and mitochondrial networks morphology. - Increasing ATP generation as well as OCR and ECAR levels, thereby reducing the viability loss induced by serum withdrawal stress. CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight that dynamized Gelsemium preparations may have neuroprotective effects against stress-induced cellular changes in the brain by regulating mitochondrial functions, essential for the survival, plasticity, and function of neurons in depression.

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen responsible for severe complications in patients with prior influenza A virus (IAV) infection. We have previously demonstrated that S. pneumoniae exhibits increased intracellular survival within IAV-infected cells. Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are widely used to treat pneumococcal infections. However, our prior work has shown that S. pneumoniae can develop intracellular FQ persistence, a phenomenon triggered by oxidative stress within host cells. This persistence allows the bacteria to withstand high FQ concentrations. In this study, we show that IAV infection enhances pneumococcal FQ persistence during intracellular survival within pneumocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils. This enhancement is partly due to increased oxidative stress induced by the viral infection. We find that this phenotype is particularly pronounced in autophagy-proficient host cells, potentially resulting from IAV-induced blockage of autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Moreover, we identified several S. pneumoniae genes involved in oxidative stress response that contribute to FQ persistence, including sodA (superoxide dismutase), clpL (chaperone), nrdH (glutaredoxin), and psaB (Mn+2 transporter component). Our findings reveal a novel mechanism of antibiotic persistence promoted by viral infection within host cells. This underscores the importance of considering this phenomenon when using FQs to treat pneumococcal infections, especially in patients with concurrent influenza A infection.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 441:129792. [PMID: 36084470 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Cooking Oil Fumes (COFs) contain carcinogenic organic substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic amines (HCAs), of which 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo(4,5-b)pyridine (PhIP) is known as mainly meat-borne carcinogens. In this work, to identify the mechanisms to induce the inflammation response in human lung cells (A549) exposed to COFs, we investigated the physicochemical and biological characteristics of COFs generated with PhIP precursors (L-phenylalanine, creatinine, and glucose) at high cooking temperatures (300 °C and 600 °C). Interestingly, we found that PhIP was not formed both at 300 °C and 600 °C, while a large number of carbon nanoparticles were generated from soybean oil containing the PhIP precursors at 600 °C. From the biological analysis, COFs generated with the PhIP precursors at 600 °C induced the most significant pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6). This result indicates that the particulate matter in COFs generated with the PhIP precursors above the smoke temperature is the primary factor directly affecting the lung inflammatory response rather than PhIP. This study demonstrates for the first time a novel principle of the inflammatory response that the PhIP precursors can aggravate lung injury by affecting the physical properties of COFs depending on cooking temperature. Therefore, our finding is a significant result of overcoming the bias in previous studies focusing only on the chemical toxicity of PhIP in the inflammatory response of COFs.

Host Cell Oxidative Stress Promotes Intracellular Fluoroquinolone Persisters of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0436422.

Abstract
Bacterial persisters represent a small subpopulation that tolerates high antibiotic concentrations without acquiring heritable resistance, and it may be generated by environmental factors. Here, we report the first antibiotic persistence mechanism in Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is induced by oxidative stress conditions and allows the pneumococcus to survive in the presence of fluoroquinolones. We demonstrated that fluoroquinolone persistence is prompted by both the impact of growth arrest and the oxidative stress response induced by H2O2 in bacterial cells. This process protected pneumococci against the deleterious effects of high ROS levels induced by fluoroquinolones. Importantly, S. pneumoniae develops persistence during infection, and is dependent on the oxidative stress status of the host cells, indicating that its transient intracellular life contributes to this mechanism. Furthermore, our findings suggest persistence may influence the outcome of antibiotic therapy and be part of a multistep mechanism in the evolution of fluoroquinolone resistance. IMPORTANCE In S. pneumoniae, different mechanisms that counteract antibiotic effects have been described, such as vancomycin tolerance, heteroresistance to penicillin and fluoroquinolone resistance, which critically affect the therapeutic efficacy. Antibiotic persistence is a type of antibiotic tolerance that allows a bacterial subpopulation to survive lethal antimicrobial concentrations. In this work, we used a host-cell infection model to reveal fluoroquinolone persistence in S. pneumoniae. This mechanism is induced by oxidative stress that the pneumococcus must overcome to survive in host cells. Many fluoroquinolones, such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, have a broad spectrum of activity against bacterial pathogens of community-acquired pneumonia, and they are used to treat pneumococcal diseases. However, the emergence of fluoroquinolone-resistant strains complicates antibiotic treatment of invasive infections. Consequently, antibiotic persistence in S. pneumoniae is clinically relevant due to prolonged exposure to fluoroquinolones likely favors the acquisition of mutations that generate antibiotic resistance in persisters. In addition, this work contributes to the knowledge of antibiotic persistence mechanisms in bacteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate apelin-13 levels, total oxidant/antioxidant status in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to investigate the relationship between these parameters. METHODS Patients newly diagnosed with AD were enrolled in the study. The control group consisted of age- and gender-matched healthy individuals. Serum levels of apelin-13, total antioxidant status (TAS), and total oxidant status (TOS) were measured. Oxidative stress index was calculated (TOS/TAS) for each participant. RESULTS We reported that serum apelin-13 and TAS values were significantly lower in the AD group compared with controls, and they found a fair but insignificant relationship between Apelin-13 and TAS values. CONCLUSION According to our results, we suggested that insufficient apelin-13 and TAS levels may contribute to the pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
Serum is an important component in cell culture medium. It also possesses potent antioxidant properties. Therefore, the conventional protocols for detecting reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cultured cells with fluorescent probes include washing and suspending cells with serum-free buffers, such as PBS. This transient serum deprivation is essential for the ROS detecting. Unfortunately, it may also cause unexpected results, which push us to choose more optimal experiment conditions. In the present study, we found an acute lytic cell death induced by xanthohumol (XN), which obstructed ROS detecting in human leukemia cell line HL-60 cells. XN induced ROS burst, caused cell swelling, membrane permeability increase, LDH release, and ultimately an acute lytic cell death and cell rupture. These effects could be alleviated by the antioxidant N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). Apoptosis, pyroptosis or necroptosis were not observed in this process. Results also indicated that 2% serum addition had already completely scavenged ROS induced by 10 μM XN. Taken together, it is strongly suggested to detecting ROS in a serum-free medium when studying where and how ROS generated in cells. The concentration at the ROS maximum point (10 μM XN in this study) can be selected as the optimal concentration.

Abstract
Introduction Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) chondrogenesis is associated with increases in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may result in oxidative stress that is detrimental to cartilage regeneration. This study evaluated the ability of the antioxidants N-acetylcysteine (NAC) or pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) to reduce intracellular ROS, and their effect on MSC chondrogenesis and maturation of cartilage-like extracellular matrix. Methods Equine bone marrow MSCs were cultured in serum-supplemented chondrogenic medium with or without NAC or PDTC. ROS was quantified in monolayer after 8 and 72 h of culture. MSCs were seeded into agarose, cultured for 15 days, and analyzed for viable cell density, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and hydroxyproline accumulation, and collagen gene expression. PDTC cultures were evaluated for oxidative damage by protein carbonylation, and mechanical properties via compressive testing. Results NAC significantly lowered levels of ROS after 8 but not 72 h, and suppressed GAG accumulation (70%). In secondary experiments using serum-free medium, NAC significantly increased levels of ROS at 72 h, and lowered cell viability and extracellular matrix accumulation. PDTC significantly reduced levels of ROS (~ 30%) and protein carbonylation (27%), and enhanced GAG accumulation (20%). However, the compressive modulus for PDTC-treated samples was significantly lower (40%) than controls. Gene expression was largely unaffected by the antioxidants. Conclusions NAC demonstrated a limited ability to reduce intracellular ROS in chondrogenic culture, and generally suppressed accumulation of extracellular matrix. Conversely, PDTC was an effective antioxidant that enhanced GAG accumulation, although the concomitant reduction in compressive properties is a significant limitation for cartilage repair.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the combined effects of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) on neuron apoptosis and oxidative stress in Parkinson's disease (PD). A mouse MPTP model of PD and cellular models of H2 O2 and MPP+ -treated PC12 cells were established. Swimming, pole, and traction tests were used to detect behavioral impairment. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate the neuron loss. TUNEL and flow cytometer method were used to identify the neuron apoptosis. MDA levels and activities of antioxidant enzymes were used to detect the oxidative damage. The PD model of mice received GDNF and GGA exhibited a significant recovery in their swim, pole, and traction scores. Moreover, the combined treatment significantly reduced the neuron apoptosis in the substantia nigra (SN) of PD mice or in H2 O2 or MPP+ -induced PC12 cells compared with the single drug group. In addition, significant reduction of MDA levels and improvement of activities of CAT, SOD, and GSH-px were observed after GDNF and GGA treatment in the PD model and H2 O2 or MPP+ -induced PC12 cells. The combination of GDNF and GGA ameliorated neural apoptosis and oxidative damage in PD.

Abstract
Chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is induced in culture conditions that have been associated with oxidative stress, although the extent to which the oxidative environment affects differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation is not known. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the oxidative environment during MSCs chondrogenesis in conventional serum-free medium, and the effect of serum-supplementation on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chondrogenesis. Young adult equine MSCs were seeded into agarose and cultured in chondrogenic medium, with or without 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), for up to 15 days. Samples were evaluated for intracellular ROS, the antioxidant glutathione, ECM and gene expression measures of chondrogenesis, and carbonylation as an indicator of oxidative damage. Intracellular ROS increased with time in culture, and was lower in medium supplemented with FBS. Glutathione decreased ∼12-fold during early chondrogenesis (p < 0.0001), and was not affected by FBS (p = 0.25). After 15 days of culture, FBS supplementation increased hydroxyproline accumulation ∼80% (p = 0.0002); otherwise, measures of chondrogenesis were largely unaffected. Protein carbonylation in chondrogenic MSCs cultures was not significantly different between serum-free and FBS cultures (p = 0.72). Supplementation with adult equine serum increased hydroxyproline accumulation by 45% over serum-free culture (p = 0.0006). In conclusion, this study characterized changes in the oxidative environment during MSC chondrogenesis, and suggested that lowering ROS may be an effective approach to increase collagen accumulation. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Human antioxidant protein 1 (Atox1) plays a crucial role in cellular copper homeostasis. Atox1 captures cytosolic copper for subsequent transfer to copper pumps in trans Golgi network, thereby facilitating copper supply to various copper-dependent oxidereductases matured within the secretory vesicles. Atox1 and other copper chaperones handle cytosolic copper using Cys thiols which are ideal ligands for coordinating Cu(I). Recent studies demonstrated reversible oxidation of these Cys residues in copper chaperones, linking cellular redox state to copper homeostasis. Highlighted in this review are unique redox properties of Atox1 and other copper chaperones. Also, summarized are the redox nodes in the cytosol which potentially play dominant roles in the redox regulation of copper chaperones. © 2016 IUBMB Life, 69(4):246-254, 2017.

The acceleration of cardiomyogenesis in embryonic stem cells in vitro by serum depletion does not increase the number of developed cardiomyocytes. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0173140.

Abstract
The differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells into various lineages in vitro represents an important tool for studying the mechanisms underlying mammalian embryogenesis. It is a key technique in studies evaluating the molecular mechanisms of cardiomyogenesis and heart development and also in embryotoxicology. Herein, modest modifications of the basic protocol for ES cell differentiation into cardiomyocytes were evaluated in order to increase the yield and differentiation status of developed cardiomyocytes. Primarily, the data show that ES cell cultivation in the form of non-adherent embryoid bodies (EBs) for 5 days compared to 8 days significantly improved cardiomyogenic differentiation. This is illustrated by the appearance of beating foci in the adherent EBs layer at earlier phases of differentiation from day 10 up to day 16 and by the significantly higher expression of genes characteristic of cardiomyogenic differentiation (sarcomeric alpha actinin, myosin heavy chain alpha and beta, myosin light chain 2 and 7, and transcriptional factor Nkx2.5) in EBs cultivated under non-adherent conditions for 5 days. The ratio of cardiomyocytes per other cells was also potentiated in EBs cultivated in non-adherent conditions for only 5 days followed by cultivation in adherent serum-free culture conditions. Nevertheless, the alteration in the percentage of beating foci among these two tested cultivation conditions vanished at later phases and also did not affect the total number of cardiomyocytes determined as myosin heavy chain positive cells at the end of the differentiation process on day 20. Thus, although these modifications of the conditions of ES cells differentiation may intensify cardiomyocyte differentiation, the final count of cardiomyocytes might not change. Thus, serum depletion was identified as a key factor that intensified cardiomyogenesis. Further, the treatment of EBs with N-acetylcysteine, a reactive oxygen species scavenger, did not affect the observed increase in cardiomyogenesis under serum depleted conditions. Interestingly, a mild induction of the ventricular-like phenotype of cardiomyocytes was observed in 5-day-old EBs compared to 8-day-old EBs. Overall, these findings bring crucial information on the mechanisms of ES cells differentiation into cardiomyocytes and on the establishment of efficient protocols for the cardiomyogenic differentiation of ES cells. Further, the importance of determining the absolute number of formed cardiomyocyte-like cells per seeded pluripotent cells in contrast to the simple quantification of the ratios of cells is highlighted.

Abstract
Excessive proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) is an important contributor to the progression of atherosclerosis. Inhibition of proliferation can be achieved by endogenously produced and exogenously supplied nitrogen monoxide, commonly known as nitric oxide (NO). We report herein the dichotomous effects of two isomeric families of secondary amines, precursors to the N-nitrosated NO-donors, on HASMC proliferation. The syntheses of these two families were carried out using two equivalents of homologous, aliphatic monoamines and 2,6-difluoro-3-nitrobenzonitrile (2,6-DFNBN, O family) or 2,4-difluoro-5-nitrobenzonitrile (2,4-DFNBN, P family). The secondary amines belonging to the P family inhibited HASMC proliferation at all concentrations, whereas the O family induced HASMC proliferation at low concentrations, and exhibited inhibitory properties at high concentrations. A probable explanation of these behaviors is proposed herein. l-homocysteine (HCY) is known to induce HASMC proliferation at low concentrations (<1 mM) and inhibit HASMC proliferation at higher concentrations (>2.5 mM). Our findings suggest that these two families of amines inhibit cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) to varying extents, which directly results in altered levels of intracellular HCY and consequent changes in HASMC proliferation.

Abstract
Human antioxidant protein 1 (Atox1) is a small cytosolic protein with an essential role in copper homeostasis. Atox1 functions as a copper carrier facilitating copper transfer to the secretory pathway. This process is required for activation of copper dependent enzymes involved in neurotransmitter biosynthesis, iron efflux, neovascularization, wound healing, and regulation of blood pressure. Recently, new cellular roles for Atox1 have emerged. Changing levels of Atox1 were shown to modulate response to cancer therapies, contribute to inflammatory response, and protect cells against various oxidative stresses. It has also become apparent that the activity of Atox1 is tightly linked to the cellular redox status. In this review, we summarize biochemical information related to a dual role of Atox1 as a copper chaperone and an antioxidant. We discuss how these two activities could be linked and contribute to establishing the intracellular copper balance and functional identity of cells during differentiation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by loss of dopaminergic or motor neurons, respectively. Although understanding of the PD and ALS pathogenesis remains incomplete, increasing evidence from human and animal studies has suggested that aberrant GSK3β, oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage are involved in their pathogenesis. Using two different molecular models, treatment with L-BMAA for ALS and rotenone for PD the effect of isolecanoric acid, a natural product isolated from a fungal culture, was evaluated. Pre-treatment with this molecule caused inhibition of GSK3β and CK1, and a decrease in oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, apoptosis and cell death. Taken together, these results indicated that isolecanoric acid might have a protective effect against the development of these neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent primary solid malignant tumor of bone. Its prognosis remains poor in the substantial proportion of patients who do not respond to chemotherapy and novel therapeutic options are therefore needed. We previously established a mouse model that mimics the aggressive behavior of human OS. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based screening of such mouse tumor lysates identified platelet-derived growth factor–BB (PDGF-BB) as an abundant soluble factor, the gene for which was expressed dominantly in surrounding non-malignant cells of the tumor, whereas that for the cognate receptor (PDGF receptor β) was highly expressed in OS cells. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB induced activation of both MEK–ERK and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase–protein kinase B signaling pathways and promoted survival in OS cells deprived of serum, and these effects were blocked by the PDGF receptor inhibitor imatinib. However, these actions of PDGF-BB and imatinib were mostly masked in the presence of serum. Whereas imatinib alone did not manifest an antitumor effect in mice harboring OS tumors, combined treatment with imatinib and adriamycin exerted a synergistic antiproliferative effect on OS cells in vivo. These results suggest that treatment of OS with imatinib is effective only when cell survival is dependent on PDGF signaling or when imatinib is combined with another therapeutic intervention that renders the tumor cells susceptible to imatinib action, such as by inducing cellular stress.

Abstract
Our previous study showed that exposing mouse fibroblasts to proanthocyanidin (PA) for only 1 min accelerated cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. In this study, exposing human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) to PA for 1 min similarly accelerated the proliferative response of the cells. Besides the accelerated proliferative response, PA showed a cytoprotective effect on HGFs exposed to harsh environmental conditions; short-term exposure of HGFs in the mitotic phase to pure water or physiological saline resulted in a lower recovery of viable cells. Pretreatment and concomitant treatment with PA improved the low recovery of cells exposed to pure water or physiological saline. In addition, HGFs exposed to PA for 1 min proliferated well even after being cultured in serum-free medium. In 100% confluent HGFs, being cultured in serum-free medium resulted in a high intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, but pretreatment with PA prevented the cells from increasing intracellular ROS. Thus, the results suggest that a short-term PA treatment exerts cytoprotective effects on HGFs exposed to harsh environmental conditions by improving the intracellular oxidative stress response.

Abstract
p66shc is a protein product of an mRNA isoform of SHC1 gene that has a pro-oxidant and pro-apoptotic activity and is implicated in the aging process. Mitochondria were suggested as a major source of the p66shc-mediated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We studied effects of p66shc on oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide or by serum deprivation in human colon carcinoma cell line RKO and in diploid human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). An shRNA-mediated knockdown of p66shc suppressed and an overexpression of a recombinant p66shc stimulated the production of ROS in the both models. This effect was not detected in the mitochondrial DNA-depleted ρ0-RKO cells that do not have the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). The p66shc-dependent accumulation of mitochondrial ROS was detected with HyPer-mito, a mitochondria-targeted fluorescent protein sensor for hydrogen peroxide. The fragmentation of mitochondria induced by mitochondrial ROS was significantly reduced in the p66shc deficient RKO cells. Mitochondria-targeted antioxidants SkQ1 and SkQR1 also decreased the oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide or by serum deprivation. Together the data indicate that the p66shc-dependant ROS production during oxidative stress has mitochondrial origin in human normal and cancer cells.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Antioxidant protein 1 (Atox1 in human cells) is a copper chaperone for the copper export pathway with an essential role in cellular copper distribution. In vitro, Atox1 binds and transfers copper to the copper-transporting ATPases, stimulating their catalytic activity. Inactivation of Atox1 in cells inhibits maturation of secreted cuproenzymes as well as copper export from cells. RECENT ADVANCES Accumulating data suggest that cellular functions of Atox1 are not limited to its copper-trafficking role and may include storage of labile copper, modulation of transcription, and antioxidant defense. The conserved metal binding site of Atox1, CxGC, differs from the metal-binding sites of copper-transporting ATPases and has a physiologically relevant redox potential that equilibrates with the GSH:GSSG pair. CRITICAL ISSUES Tight relationship appears to exist between intracellular copper levels and glutathione (GSH) homeostasis. The biochemical properties of Atox1 place it at the intersection of cellular networks that regulate copper distribution and cellular redox balance. Mechanisms through which Atox1 facilitates copper export and contributes to oxidative defense are not fully understood. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The current picture of cellular redox homeostasis and copper physiology will be enhanced by further mechanistic studies of functional interactions between the GSH:GSSG pair and copper-trafficking machinery.

Abstract
We have implemented a ratiometric, genetically encoded redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein fused to human glutaredoxin (Grx1-roGFP2) to monitor real time intracellular glutathione redox potentials of mammalian cells. This probe enabled detection of media-dependent oxidation of the cytosol triggered by short wavelength excitation. The transient nature of light-induced oxidation was revealed by time-lapse live cell imaging when time intervals of less than 30s were implemented. In contrast, transient ROS generation was not observed with the parental roGFP2 probe without Grx1, which exhibits slower thiol-disulfide exchange. These data demonstrate that the enhanced sensitivity of the Grx1-roGFP2 fusion protein enables the detection of short-lived ROS in living cells. The superior sensitivity of Grx1-roGFP2, however, also enhances responsiveness to environmental cues introducing a greater likelihood of false positive results during image acquisition.

(Fabaceae) or Cha rueat (Thai name) is an indigenous plant found in mixed deciduous forest in northern and north-eastern parts of Thailand. Thai rural people consume its young shoots and leaves as a fresh vegetable, as well as it is used for medicinal purposes.The antioxidant capacity in terms of radical scavenging activity of quercetin was determined as IC50 of 3.18 ± 0.07 µg/mL, which was higher than that of Trolox and ascorbic acid (12.54 ± 0.89 and 10.52 ± 0.48 µg/mL, resp.). The suppressive effect of quercetin on both purified and cellular acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymes was investigated as IC50 56.84 ± 2.64 and 36.60 ± 2.78 µg/mL, respectively. In order to further investigate the protective ability of quercetin on neuronal cells, P19-derived neurons were used as a neuronal model in this study. As a result, quercetin at a very low dose of 1 nM enhanced survival and induced neurite outgrowth of P19-derived neurons. Furthermore, this flavonoid also possessed significant protection against oxidative stress induced by serum deprivation. Altogether, these findings suggest that quercetin is a multifunctional compound and promising valuable drugs candidate for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
The development of new anti-neoplastic drugs is a key issue for cancer chemotherapy due to the reality that, most likely, certain cancer cells are resistant to current chemotherapy. The past two decades have witnessed tremendous advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of cancer. These advances have allowed identification new targets as oncogenes, tumor supressor genes and the possible implication of the mitochondria (Fulda et al. Nat Rev Drug Discov 9:447-464, 2010). Annonaceous Acetogenins (ACGs) have been described as the most potent inhibitors of the respiratory chain because of their interaction with mitochondrial Complex I (Degli Esposti and Ghelli Biochim Biophys Acta 1187:116-120, 1994; Zafra-Polo et al. Phytochemistry 42:253-271, 1996; Miyoshi et al. Biochim Biophys Acta 1365:443-452, 1998; Tormo et al. Arch Biochem Biophys 369:119-126, 1999; Motoyama et al. Bioorg Med Chem Lett 12:2089-2092, 2002). To explore a possible application of natural products from Annonaceous plants to cancer treatment, we have selected four bis-tetrahydrofuranic ACGs, three from Annona cherimolia (cherimolin-1, motrilin and laherradurin) and one from Rollinia mucosa (rollinianstatin-1) in order to fully describe their mechanisms responsible within the cell (Fig. 1). In this study, using a hepato-carcinoma cell line (HepG2) as a model, we showed that the bis-THF ACGs caused cell death through the induction of the apoptotic mitochondrial pathway. Their potency and behavior were compared with the classical mitochondrial respiratory chain Complex I inhibitor rotenone in every apoptotic pathway step.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TLR2 were shown to be activated by saturated fatty acids (SFAs) but inhibited by docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, one report suggested that SFA-induced TLR activation in cell culture systems is due to contaminants in BSA used for solubilizing fatty acids. This report raised doubt about proinflammatory effects of SFAs. Our studies herein demonstrate that sodium palmitate (C16:0) or laurate (C12:0) without BSA solubilization induced phosphorylation of inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB α, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p44/42 mitogen-activated-kinase (ERK), and nuclear factor-κB subunit p65, and TLR target gene expression in THP1 monocytes or RAW264.7 macrophages, respectively, when cultured in low FBS (0.25%) medium. C12:0 induced NFκB activation through TLR2 dimerized with TLR1 or TLR6, and through TLR4. Because BSA was not used in these experiments, contaminants in BSA have no relevance. Unlike in suspension cells (THP-1), BSA-solubilized C16:0 instead of sodium C16:0 is required to induce TLR target gene expression in adherent cells (RAW264.7). C16:0-BSA transactivated TLR2 dimerized with TLR1 or TLR6 and through TLR4 as seen with C12:0. These results and additional studies with the LPS sequester polymixin B and in MyD88(-/-) macrophages indicated that SFA-induced activation of TLR2 or TLR4 is a fatty acid-specific effect, but not due to contaminants in BSA or fatty acid preparations.

Abstract
Cells use the redox properties of copper in numerous physiologic processes, including antioxidant defense, neurotransmitter biosynthesis, and angiogenesis. Copper delivery to the secretory pathway is an essential step in copper utilization and homeostatic maintenance. We demonstrate that the glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) pair controls the copper transport pathway by regulating the redox state of a copper chaperone Atox1. GSSG oxidizes copper-coordinating cysteines of Atox1 with the formation of an intramolecular disulfide. GSH alone is sufficient to reduce the disulfide, restoring the ability of Atox1 to bind copper; glutaredoxin 1 facilitates this reaction when GSH is low. In cells, high GSH both reduces Atox1 and is required for cell viability in the absence of Atox1. In turn, Atox1, which has a redox potential similar to that of glutaredoxin, becomes essential for cell survival when GSH levels decrease. Atox1(+/+) cells resist short term glutathione depletion, whereas Atox1(-/-) cells under the same conditions are not viable. We conclude that GSH balance and copper homeostasis are functionally linked and jointly maintain conditions for copper secretion and cell proliferation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In bone marrow, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in the most hypoxic endosteum niche, whereas the proliferating progenitors are located near the relatively oxygen-rich vascular region. High oxygen tension is potentially detrimental to HSCs. The objective of this investigation was to compare cellular, functional, and molecular responses of human umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in culture under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. METHODS CD133-enriched UCB cells were cultured in growth factor containing serum-free and serum-supplemented medium under 5% O(2) (hypoxia) or 21% O(2) (normoxia) for 10 d. The phenotypes of expanded cells were analyzed by flow cytometry and the engraftability by SCID-repopulation assay. The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and some of its target genes was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. RESULTS In hypoxic culture, CD34(+) CD38(-) cells were expanded about 27-fold, which was significantly (P < 0.01) higher than that obtained in normoxic culture. Serum-free culture did not support the growth of cells in the presence of 21% O(2) . Myeloid colony-forming potential of cells was significantly (P < 0.05) increased in 5% O(2) compared with 21% O(2) culture. SCID-repopulation efficiency seems to be better preserved in the cells cultured under hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia significantly (P < 0.05) induced the expression of HIF-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and ABCG2 genes and also upregulated CXCR4 receptor expression. CONCLUSIONS Low oxygen tension enhanced the proliferation of UCB-derived HSC/progenitor cells and maintenance of SCID-repopulating cells than normoxia. These expanded cells are expected to be beneficial in the patients who lack human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donors.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) are thought to be byproducts of aerobic respiration with damaging effects on DNA, protein, and lipid. A growing body of evidence indicates, however, that ROS are involved in the maintenance of redox homeostasis and various cellular signaling pathways. ROS are generated from diverse sources including mitochondrial respiratory chain, enzymatic activation of cytochrome p450, and NADPH oxidases further suggesting involvement in a complex array of cellular processes. This review summarizes the production and function of ROS. In particular, how cytosolic and membrane proteins regulate ROS generation for intracellular redox signaling will be detailed.

Abstract
Phenylenediamine derivatives can function as a hydrogen donor and reportedly exert various biological actions including cytoprotective effects against oxidative stress, possibly by acting as an antioxidant. Previous studies showed that feeding of such compounds to mice reduced their body weight, but the precise mechanism remains unknown at present. Here, we found that these compounds inhibited the in vitro differentiation of mouse preadipocytes, 3T3-L1 cells, into adipocytes, suggesting that, at least in part, reduced generation of adipocytes might contribute to the observed weight loss in mice. Next, we performed array analysis and found that the expression of GDF-15/MIC-1, which is a TGFβ superfamily cytokine, and Trib 3, an intracellular downstream effector of the cytokines, was up-regulated by these derivatives. Thus, we identified the compounds as inducers of GDF-15/MIC-1 and suggest that such induction may have led to inhibition of adipocyte differentiation, which could account for the weight-loss effect of these compounds.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with adipose tissue remodeling, characterized by macrophage accumulation, adipocyte hypertrophy, and apoptosis. We previously reported that macrophage-conditioned medium (MacCM) protects preadipocytes from apoptosis, due to serum withdrawal, in a platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-dependent manner. We have now investigated the role of intracellular signaling pathways, activated in response to MacCM versus PDGF, in promoting preadipocyte survival. Exposure of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to J774A.1-MacCM or PDGF strongly stimulated Akt and ERK1/2 phosphorylation from initially undetectable levels. Inhibition of the upstream regulators of Akt or ERK1/2, i.e. phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K; using wortmannin or LY294002) or MEK1/2 (using UO126 or PD98509), abrogated the respective phosphorylation responses, and significantly impaired pro-survival activity. J774A.1-MacCM increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by 3.4-fold, and diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) or N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) significantly inhibited pro-survival signaling and preadipocyte survival in response to J774A.1-MacCM. Serum withdrawal itself also increased ROS levels (2.1-fold), and the associated cell death was attenuated by DPI or NAC. In summary, J774A.1-MacCM-dependent 3T3-L1 preadipocyte survival requires the Akt and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. Furthermore, ROS generation by J774A.1-MacCM is required for Akt and ERK1/2 signaling to promote 3T3-L1 preadipocyte survival. These data suggest potential mechanisms by which macrophages may alter preadipocyte fate.

The neurogenic basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor NeuroD6 confers tolerance to oxidative stress by triggering an antioxidant response and sustaining the mitochondrial biomass. ASN Neuro 2010; 2:e00034.

Abstract
Preserving mitochondrial mass, bioenergetic functions and ROS (reactive oxygen species) homoeostasis is key to neuronal differentiation and survival, as mitochondria produce most of the energy in the form of ATP to execute and maintain these cellular processes. In view of our previous studies showing that NeuroD6 promotes neuronal differentiation and survival on trophic factor withdrawal, combined with its ability to stimulate the mitochondrial biomass and to trigger comprehensive antiapoptotic and molecular chaperone responses, we investigated whether NeuroD6 could concomitantly modulate the mitochondrial biomass and ROS homoeostasis on oxidative stress mediated by serum deprivation. In the present study, we report a novel role of NeuroD6 as a regulator of ROS homoeostasis, resulting in enhanced tolerance to oxidative stress. Using a combination of flow cytometry, confocal fluorescence microscopy and mitochondrial fractionation, we found that NeuroD6 sustains mitochondrial mass, intracellular ATP levels and expression of specific subunits of respiratory complexes upon oxidative stress triggered by withdrawal of trophic factors. NeuroD6 also maintains the expression of nuclear-encoded transcription factors, known to regulate mitochondrial biogenesis, such as PGC-1α (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator-1α), Tfam (transcription factor A, mitochondrial) and NRF-1 (nuclear respiratory factor-1). Finally, NeuroD6 triggers a comprehensive antioxidant response to endow PC12-ND6 cells with intracellular ROS scavenging capacity. The NeuroD6 effect is not limited to the classic induction of the ROS-scavenging enzymes, such as SOD2 (superoxide dismutase 2), GPx1 (glutathione peroxidase 1) and PRDX5 (peroxiredoxin 5), but also to the recently identified powerful ROS suppressors PGC-1α, PINK1 (phosphatase and tensin homologue-induced kinase 1) and SIRT1. Thus our collective results support the concept that the NeuroD6–PGC-1α–SIRT1 neuroprotective axis may be critical in co-ordinating the mitochondrial biomass with the antioxidant reserve to confer tolerance to oxidative stress.

Abstract
The adipocytokine apelin and its G protein-coupled APJ receptor were initially isolated from a bovine stomach and have been detected in the brain and cardiovascular system. Recent studies suggest that apelin can protect cardiomyocytes from ischemic injury. Here, we investigated the effect of apelin on apoptosis in mouse primary cultures of cortical neurons. Exposure of the cortical cultures to a serum-free medium for 24 h induced nuclear fragmentation and apoptotic death; apelin-13 (1.0-5.0 nM) markedly prevented the neuronal apoptosis. Apelin neuroprotective effects were mediated by multiple mechanisms. Apelin-13 reduced serum deprivation (SD)-induced ROS generation, mitochondria depolarization, cytochrome c release and activation of caspase-3. Apelin-13 prevented SD-induced changes in phosphorylation status of Akt and ERK1/2. In addition, apelin-13 attenuated NMDA-induced intracellular Ca(2+) accumulation. These results indicate that apelin is an endogenous neuroprotective adipocytokine that may block apoptosis and excitotoxic death via cellular and molecular mechanisms. It is suggested that apelins may be further explored as a potential neuroprotective reagent for ischemia-induced brain damage.

Abstract
During neurogenesis, expression of the basic helix-loop-helix NeuroD6/Nex1/MATH-2 transcription factor parallels neuronal differentiation and is maintained in differentiated neurons in the adult brain. To dissect NeuroD6 differentiation properties further, we previously generated a NeuroD6-overexpressing stable PC12 cell line, PC12-ND6, which displays a neuronal phenotype characterized by spontaneous neuritogenesis, accelerated NGF-induced differentiation, and increased regenerative capacity. Furthermore, we reported that NeuroD6 promotes long-term neuronal survival upon serum deprivation. In this study, we identified the NeuroD6-mediated transcriptional regulatory pathways linking neuronal differentiation to survival, by conducting a genome-wide microarray analysis using PC12-ND6 cells and serum deprivation as a stress paradigm. Through a series of filtering steps and a gene-ontology analysis, we found that NeuroD6 promotes distinct but overlapping gene networks, consistent with the differentiation, regeneration, and survival properties of PC12-ND6 cells. By using a gene-set-enrichment analysis, we provide the first evidence of a compelling link between NeuroD6 and a set of heat shock proteins in the absence of stress, which may be instrumental in conferring stress tolerance on PC12-ND6 cells. Immunocytochemistry results showed that HSP27 and HSP70 interact with cytoskeletal elements, consistent with their roles in neuritogenesis and preserving cellular integrity. HSP70 also colocalizes with mitochondria located in the soma, growing neurites, and growth cones of PC12-ND6 cells prior to and upon stress stimulus, consistent with its neuroprotective functions. Collectively, our findings support the notion that NeuroD6 links neuronal differentiation to survival via the network of molecular chaperones and endows the cells with increased stress tolerance.

Abstract
H2O2 acts as a signaling molecule by oxidizing critical thiol groups on redox-regulated target proteins. To explain the efficiency and selectivity of H2O2-based signaling, it has been proposed that oxidation of target proteins may be facilitated by H2O2-scavenging peroxidases. Recently, a peroxidase-based protein oxidation relay has been identified in yeast, namely the oxidation of the transcription factor Yap1 by the peroxidase Orp1. It has remained unclear whether the protein oxidase function of Orp1 is a singular adaptation or whether it may represent a more general principle. Here we show that Orp1 is in fact not restricted to oxidizing Yap1 but can also form a highly efficient redox relay with the oxidant target protein roGFP (redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein) in mammalian cells. Orp1 mediates near quantitative oxidation of roGFP2 by H2O2, and the Orp1-roGFP2 redox relay effectively converts physiological H2O2 signals into measurable fluorescent signals in living cells. Furthermore, the oxidant relay phenomenon is not restricted to Orp1 as the mammalian peroxidase Gpx4 also mediates oxidation of proximal roGFP2 in living cells. Together, these findings support the concept that certain peroxidases harbor an intrinsic and powerful capacity to act as H2O2-dependent protein thiol oxidases when they are recruited into proximity of oxidizable target proteins.

Abstract
Dynamic analysis of redox-based processes in living cells is now restricted by the lack of appropriate redox biosensors. Conventional redox-sensitive GFPs (roGFPs) are limited by undefined specificity and slow response to changes in redox potential. In this study we demonstrate that the fusion of human glutaredoxin-1 (Grx1) to roGFP2 facilitates specific real-time equilibration between the sensor protein and the glutathione redox couple. The Grx1-roGFP2 fusion protein allowed dynamic live imaging of the glutathione redox potential (E(GSH)) in different cellular compartments with high sensitivity and temporal resolution. The biosensor detected nanomolar changes in oxidized glutathione (GSSG) against a backdrop of millimolar reduced glutathione (GSH) on a scale of seconds to minutes. It facilitated the observation of redox changes associated with growth factor availability, cell density, mitochondrial depolarization, respiratory burst activity and immune receptor stimulation.

Abstract
Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 2 (ASK2) is an interaction partner of the highly related ASK1. Here, we describe a regulatory function of ASK2 in stress signaling-induced cleavage of caspase-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Increased cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP was demonstrated by overexpression as well as knockdown of ASK2 after stress-induction by serum-starvation. We show that ectopically expressed ASK2 homo-oligomerized while endogenous ASK2 and ASK1 formed hetero-oligomers, which decreased upon serum-starvation. Co-expression of ASK2 and ASK1 stabilized these two proteins and reduced starvation-induced caspase-3 activation and degradation of PARP. Analysis of the intracellular localization of ASK2 exhibited a similar localization compared with ASK1 in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and in mitochondria. We propose that ASK2 regulates stress-induced caspase-3 and PARP cleavage in a dose-dependent manner by heteromeric complex formation with ASK1.

Abstract
Prion diseases are zoonotic infectious diseases commonly transmissible among animals via prion infections with an accompanying deficiency of cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) and accumulation of an abnormal isoform of prion protein (PrP(Sc)), which are observed in neurons in the event of injury and disease. To understand the role of PrP(C) in the neuron in health and diseases, we have established an immortalized neuronal cell line HpL3-4 from primary hippocampal cells of prion protein (PrP) gene-deficient mice by using a retroviral vector encoding Simian Virus 40 Large T antigen (SV40 LTag). The HpL3-4 cells exhibit cell-type-specific proteins for the neuronal precursor lineage. Recently, this group and other groups have established PrP-deficient cell lines from many kinds of cell types including glia, fibroblasts and neuronal cells, which will have a broad range of applications in prion biology. In this review, we focus on recently obtained information about PrP functions and possible studies on prion infections using the PrPdeficient cell lines.

Abstract
Resistance to oxidative stress often determines neuronal survival in the brain. Thus, antioxidants are supposed to be promising neuroprotective compounds against neurodegenerative diseases. For example, N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD) reportedly exerts cytoprotective effects against oxidative stress possibly by acting as an antioxidant. DPPD can give electron(s) to free radicals and thus scavenge them, and protect the cells from oxidative stress. The antioxidative activities of DPPD are prominent at the micromolar order, but what about its effects at much lower concentrations? We concluded that DPPD has two actions on neuronal cells, antioxidant activity and an unknown neuroprotective effect, which are effective at micromolar and nanomolar levels, respectively. In the present report, we found that DPPD inhibited cell death caused by oxidative stress at nanomolar order (1/1000 lower than concentrations needed for antioxidant activity) and that the effects were independent of antioxidant activities. DPPD inhibited the oxidative glutamate toxicity but not the tumor necrosis factor alpha-, hydrogen peroxide-, or xanthine+xanthine oxidase-induced death of HT22 cells, a mouse neuronal cell line. DPPD and phenylenediamine derivatives protected HT22 cells against oxidative glutamate toxicity at nanomolar concentrations. By studying the structure-function relationship of these compounds, we found the structure of phenyl-amine-phenyl-amine-phenyl (or butyl) to be essential for the neuroprotective effects.

Abstract
Anandamide (AEA) is a lipid molecule belonging to the family of endocannabinoids. Various studies report neuroprotective activity of AEA against toxic insults, such as ischemic conditions and excitotoxicity, whereas some show that AEA has pro-apoptotic effects. Here we have shown that AEA confers a protective activity in N18TG2 murine neuroblastoma cells subjected to low serum-induced apoptosis. We have demonstrated that the protection from apoptosis by AEA is not mediated via the CB1 receptor, the CB2 receptor, or the vanilloid receptor 1. Interestingly, breakdown of AEA by fatty acid amide hydrolase is required for the protective effect of AEA. Furthermore, the ethanolamine (EA) generated in this reaction is the metabolite responsible for the protective response. The elevation in the levels of reactive oxygen species during low serum-induced apoptosis is not affected by AEA or EA. On the other hand, AEA and EA reduce caspase 3/7 activity, and AEA attenuates the cleavage of PARP-1. Taken together, our results demonstrate a role for AEA and EA in the protection against low serum-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Cycloheximide (CHX), an inhibitor of protein synthesis, has been reported to prevent cell death in a wide variety of cell types and produced by different apoptotic stimuli. However, the mechanisms by which CHX protects cells from apoptosis are still unclear. In this study, we investigated whether p53 plays a role in the protection by CHX against serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis. Deprivation of serum from the culture medium causes apoptosis in HepG2 cells, and CHX dramatically protects cells from death. p53, p21, and Bax protein levels were elevated, and cell cycle arrest was produced after serum withdrawal. CHX abolished this elevation of p53, p21, and Bax as well as the cell cycle arrest induced by serum deprivation. The p53 inhibitor pifithrin-alpha protects HepG2 cells against apoptosis induced by serum withdrawal. HepG2 cells expressing a dominant negative form of mutant p53 and Hep3B cells lacking p53 were resistant to serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis. Lowering of p53 by small interfering RNA protects HepG2 cells from serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis. p53 phosphorylation was induced by serum withdrawal and other chemotherapeutic reagents such as actinomycin D, doxorubicin, and etoposide. CHX decreases the levels of phosphorylated p53 (pp53) even in the presence of a proteasome inhibitor, which maintains the total p53 levels, whereas it does not affect the dephosphorylation of pp53. These results suggest the possibility that kinases that phosphorylate p53 might be affected by CHX administration. In summary, CHX protects HepG2 cells from serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis through inhibiting the synthesis of p53 and the phosphorylation of p53.

Abstract
RORalpha (Retinoid-related Orphan Receptor) is a transcription factor belonging to the superfamily of nuclear receptors. The spontaneous staggerer (sg) mutation, which consists of a deletion in the Rora gene, has been shown to cause the loss of function of the RORalpha protein. The total loss of RORalpha expression leads to cerebellar developmental defects, particularly to a dramatic decreased survival of Purkinje cells and an early block in the differentiation process. This review focuses on recent studies which position RORalpha as a pivotal factor controlling Purkinje cell survival and differentiation, from development to ageing.

Abstract
Although the definite etiology of Parkinson's disease is still unclear, increasing evidence has suggested an important role for environmental factors such as exposure to pesticides in increasing the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. In the present study, primary cultures prepared from embryonic mouse mesencephala were applied to investigate the toxic effects and underlying mechanisms of rotenone-induced neuronal cell death relevant to Parkinson's disease. Results revealed that rotenone destroyed dopaminergic neurons in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Consistent with the cytotoxic effect of rotenone as evidenced by dopaminergic cell loss, it significantly increased the release of lactate dehydrogenase into the culture medium, the number of necrotic cells in the culture and the number of nuclei showing apoptotic features. Rotenone exerted toxicity by decreasing the mitochondrial membrane potential, increasing reactive oxygen species production and shifting respiration to a more anaerobic state.

Abstract
Retigabine and flupirtine are two structurally related molecules provided of anticonvulsant and analgesic actions. The present study has investigated the neuroprotective potential, as well as the possible underlying molecular mechanisms, exerted by retigabine and flupirtine in rat organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSCs) exposed to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), oxygen and glucose deprivation followed by reoxygenation (OGD), or serum withdrawal (SW). Region-specific vulnerability of hippocampal subfields occurred with each of these injury models. Specifically, CA1 was the most susceptible region to both NMDA and OGD-induced neurodegeneration, whereas selective cell death in the dentate gyrus (DG) occurred upon OHSCs exposure to SW. The NMDA antagonist MK-801 (10-30 microM), despite blocking NMDA- and OGD-induced cell death, failed to prevent SW-induced neurodegeneration. Interestingly, retigabine (0.01-10 microM) and flupirtine (0.01-10 microM) dose-dependently prevented DG neuronal death induced by SW, with IC50 s of 0.4 microM and 0.7 microM, respectively. By contrast, retigabine and flupirtine (each at 10 microM) were less effective in counteracting NMDA- or OGD-induced toxicity in the CA1 region. Both retigabine and flupirtine (0.1-10 microM) reduced SW-induced ROS production in the DG with IC50 s of approximately 1 microM. This suggested that antioxidant actions of these compounds participated in OHSC neuroprotection during SW. By contrast, activation of KCNQ K+ channels seemed not to be involved in retigabine-induced OHSCs neuroprotection during SW, since linopirdine (20 microM) and XE-991 (10 microM), two KCNQ blockers, failed to reverse retigabine-induced neuronal rescue.

Abstract
Induction of oxidative stress plays a key role in serum deprivation-induced apoptosis. CYP2E1 plays an important role in toxicity of many chemicals and ethanol and produces oxidant stress. We investigated whether CYP2E1 expression can sensitize HepG2 cells to toxicity as a consequence of serum deprivation. The models used were HepG2 E47 cells that express human CYP2E1, and C34 HepG2 cells which do not express CYP2E1. E47 cells showed greater growth inhibition and enhanced cell death after serum deprivation, as compared to the C34 cells. DNA ladder and flow cytometry assays indicated that apoptosis occurred at earlier times after serum deprivation in E47 than C34 cells. Serum withdrawal-induced E47 cell death could be rescued by antioxidants, the mitochondrial permeability transition inhibitor cyclosporine A, z-DEVD-fmk, and a CYP2E1 inhibitor 4-methylpyrazole. Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation occurred in E47 cells after serum deprivation, and there was a corresponding decline in the E47 cell mitochondrial membrane potential and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels. We propose that the mechanism of this serum withdrawal plus CYP2E1 toxicity involves increased production of intracellular ROS, lipid peroxidation, and decline of GSH levels, which results in mitochondrial membrane damage and loss of membrane potential, followed by apoptosis. Potentiation of serum deprivation-induced cell death by CYP2E1 may contribute to the sensitivity of the liver to alcohol-induced ischemia and growth factor deprivation.
