Hypochlorous acid produced at the counter electrode inhibits catalase and increases bactericidal activity of a hydrogen peroxide generating electrochemical bandage.

Abstract
Previously, an electrochemical bandage (e-bandage) that uses a three-electrode system to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) electrochemically on its working electrode was developed as a potential strategy for treating biofilms; it showed activity in reducing biofilms in an agar biofilm model. Xanthan gum-based hydrogel, including NaCl, was used as the electrolyte. While H2O2 generated at the working electrode in the vicinity of a biofilm is a main mechanism of activity, the role of the counter electrode was not explored. The goal of this research was to characterize electrochemical reactions occurring on the counter electrode of the e-bandage. Counter electrode potential varied between 1.2 and 1.5 VAg/AgCl; ∼125 µM hypochlorous acid (HOCl) was generated within 24 h in the e-bandage system. When HOCl was not produced on the counter electrode (achieved by removing NaCl from the hydrogel), reduction of Acinetobacter baumannii BAA-1605 biofilm was 1.08 ± 0.38 log10 CFU/cm2 after 24 h treatment, whereas when HOCl was produced, reduction was 3.87 ± 1.44 log10 CFU/cm2. HOCl inhibited catalase activity, abrogating H2O2 decomposition. In addition to H2O2 generation, the previously described H2O2-generating e-bandage generates HOCl on the counter electrode, enhancing its biocidal activity.

Abstract
Oxidation of key residues in cytochrome c (cyt c) by chloramine T (CT) converts the protein from an electron transporter to a peroxidase. This peroxidase-activated state represents an important model system for exploring the early steps of apoptosis. CT-induced transformations include oxidation of the distal heme ligand Met80 (MetO, +16 Da) and carbonylation (LysCHO, -1 Da) in the range of Lys53/55/72/73. Remarkably, the 15 remaining Lys residues in cyt c are not susceptible to carbonylation. The cause of this unusual selectivity is unknown. Here we applied top-down mass spectrometry (MS) to examine whether CT-induced oxidation is catalyzed by heme. To this end, we compared the behavior of cyt c with (holo-cyt c) and without heme (apoSS-cyt c). CT caused MetO formation at Met80 for both holo- and apoSS-cyt c, implying that this transformation can proceed independently of heme. The aldehyde-specific label Girard's reagent T (GRT) reacted with oxidized holo-cyt c, consistent with the presence of several LysCHO. In contrast, oxidized apo-cyt c did not react with GRT, revealing that LysCHO forms only in the presence of heme. The heme dependence of LysCHO formation was further confirmed using microperoxidase-11 (MP11). CT exposure of apoSS-cyt c in the presence of MP11 caused extensive nonselective LysCHO formation. Our results imply that the selectivity of LysCHO formation at Lys53/55/72/73 in holo-cyt c is caused by the spatial proximity of these sites to the reactive (distal) heme face. Overall, this work highlights the utility of top-down MS for unravelling complex oxidative modifications.

Abstract
Catalases, heme enzymes which catalyze decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and molecular oxygen, are important members of the antioxidant defense system of cells of almost all aerobic organisms. However, recent studies suggest that catalase may be involved in various other processes in the cell. The paper provides a review of reactions of catalases with their main substrate, hydrogen peroxide, and with oxidizing species such as hydroxyl radical, superoxide, nitric oxide, peroxynitrite, hypochlorous acid, and singlet oxygen. A number of these individuals are formed under oxidative eustress (good stress) as well as distress (bad stress), while others only under conditions of oxidative distress. Potential biological significance of the reactions of mammalian as well as bacterial catalases with oxidizing species is discussed. The majority of these reactions inhibit catalase. Authors emphasize that catalase inhibition, which may lead to significant increase of the local concentration of hydrogen peroxide, may be detrimental to the neighboring tissues, but in some pathological states (e.g. the defense directed against pathogenic bacteria rich in catalase, or induction of apoptosis of cancer cells which possess membrane-associated catalase) it may be beneficial for the host organism.

Abstract
Chlorination is one of the most widely used disinfection techniques, and the problem of "chlorine-resistant bacteria" (CRB) has attracted more attention recently. In this study, the deactivation of typical CRB in water, Mycobacterium fortuitum (M. fortuitum) and Mycobacterium mucogenicum (M. mucogenicum), by free chlorine was investigated with Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) as the reference. The chlorination effectiveness of chlorine on M. fortuitum and M. mucogenicum and the effect of chlorine concentration, pH, and humic acid were studied. It was found that M. mucogenicum was more resistant to chlorine than M. fortuitum, both of which were much more resistant than E. coli and B. subtilis. The effect of disinfectant concentration on the inactivation efficiency was positive, whereas the influence of pH and humic acid was negative. The inactivation mechanisms were explored by analyzing the bacteria morphology, the destruction of cell membrane, the cell hydrophobicity, as well as total adenosine triphosphate (ATP), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The slight destruction of the cell membrane was observed after deactivation with chlorine, and high hydrophobicity of the cell membrane combined with metabolic changes might lead to the chlorine tolerance of Mycobacteria.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is produced in the human body by the family of mammalian heme peroxidases, mainly by myeloperoxidase, which is secreted by neutrophils and monocytes at sites of inflammation. This review discusses the reactions that occur between HOCl and the major classes of biologically important molecules (amino acids, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and inorganic substances) to form free radicals. The generation of such free radical intermediates by HOCl and other reactive halogen species is accompanied by the development of halogenative stress, which causes a number of socially important diseases, such as cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, infectious, and other diseases usually associated with inflammatory response and characterized by the appearance of biomarkers of myeloperoxidase and halogenative stress. Investigations aimed at elucidating the mechanisms regulating the activity of enzyme systems that are responsible for the production of reactive halogen species are a crucial step in opening possibilities for control of the development of the body's inflammatory response.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme-containing enzyme that generates hypochlorous acid (HOCl) from chloride (Cl(-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). It is implicated in the pathology of several chronic inflammatory conditions such as cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and cancer. Recently we have shown that HOCl can destroy the heme prosthetic group of hemoproteins. Here, we investigated whether the HOCl formed during steady-state catalysis is able to destroy the MPO heme moiety and thereby function as a major source of free iron. UV-visible spectra and H₂O₂-specific electrode measurements recorded during steady-state HOCl synthesis by MPO showed that the degree of MPO heme destruction increased after multiple additions of H₂O₂ (10 µM), precluding the enzyme from functioning at maximum activity (80-90% inhibition). MPO heme destruction occurred only in the presence of Cl(-). Stopped-flow measurements revealed that the HOCl-mediated MPO heme destruction was complex and occurred through transient ferric species whose formation and decay kinetics indicated it participates in heme destruction along with subsequent free iron release. MPO heme depletion was confirmed by the buildup of free iron utilizing the ferrozine assay. Hypochlorous acid, once generated, first equilibrates in the solution as a whole before binding to the heme iron and initiating heme destruction. Eliminating HOCl from the MPO milieu by scavenging HOCl, destabilizing the MPO-Compound I-Cl complex that could be formed during catalysis, and/or inhibiting MPO catalytic activity partially or completely protects MPO from HOCl insults. Collectively, this study elucidates the bidirectional relationship between MPO and HOCl, which highlights the potential role of MPO as a source of free iron.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is generated by myeloperoxidase using chloride and hydrogen peroxide as substrates. HOCl and its conjugate base (OCl(-)) bind to the heme moiety of hemoglobin (Hb) and generate a transient ferric species whose formation and decay kinetics indicate it can participate in protein aggregation and heme destruction along with subsequent free iron release. The oxidation of the Hb heme moiety by OCl(-) was accompanied by marked heme destruction as judged by the decrease in and subsequent flattening of the Soret absorbance peak at 405 nm. HOCl-mediated Hb heme depletion was confirmed by HPLC analysis and in-gel heme staining. Exposure of Hb to increasing concentrations of HOCl produced a number of porphyrin degradation products resulting from oxidative cleavage of one or more of the carbon-methene bridges of the tetrapyrrole ring, as identified by their characteristic HPLC fluorescence and LC-MS. A nonreducing denaturing SDS-PAGE showed several degrees of protein aggregation. Similarly, porphyrin degradation products were identified after exposure of red blood cells to increasing concentrations of HOCl, indicating biological relevance of this finding. This work provides a direct link between Hb heme destruction and subsequent free iron accumulation, as occurs under inflammatory conditions where HOCl is formed in substantial amounts.

Abstract
The establishment of oxidants as mediators of signal transduction has renewed the interest of investigators in oxidant production and metabolism. In particular, H(2)O(2) has been demonstrated to play pivotal roles in mediating cell differentiation, proliferation, and death. Intracellular concentrations of H(2)O(2) are modulated by its rate of production and its rate of decomposition by catalase and peroxidases. In inflammation and infection, some of the H(2)O(2) is converted to hypochlorous acid, a key mediator of the host immune response against pathogens. In vivo HOCl production is mediated by myeloperoxidase, which uses excess H(2)O(2) to oxidize Cl(-). Mashino and Fridovich (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 956:63-69; 1988) observed that a high excess of HOCl over catalase inactivated the enzyme by mechanisms that remain unclear. The potential relevance of this as an alternative mechanism for catalase activity control and its potential impact on H(2)O(2)-mediated signaling and HOCl production compelled us to explore in depth the HOCl-mediated catalase inactivation pathways. Here, we demonstrate that HOCl induces formation of catalase protein radicals and carbonyls, which are temporally correlated with catalase aggregation. Hypochlorite-induced catalase aggregation and free radical formation that paralleled the enzyme loss of function in vitro were also detected in mouse hepatocytes treated with the oxidant. Interestingly, the novel immuno-spin-trapping technique was applied to image radical production in the cells. Indeed, in HOCl-treated hepatocytes, catalase and protein-DMPO nitrone adducts were colocalized in the cells' peroxisomes. In contrast, when hepatocytes from catalase-knockout mice were treated with hypochlorous acid, there was extensive production of free radicals in the plasma membrane. Because free radicals are short-lived species with fundamental roles in biology, the possibility of their detection and localization to cell compartments is expected to open new and stimulating research venues in the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a highly reactive product generated by the myeloperoxidase reaction during the oxidative burst of activated neutrophils, which is implicated in many bactericidal and cytotoxic responses. Recent evidence suggests that HOCl may also play a role in the modulation of redox sensitive signaling pathways. The short half-life of HOCl and the requirement for a continuous presence of H2O2 as a substrate for its myeloperoxidase-catalyzed generation make the study of HOCl-mediated responses very difficult. We describe here an enzymatic model consisting of glucose/glucose oxidase, catalase, and myeloperoxidase (GOX/CAT/MPO) that allows the controlled generation of both HOCl and H2O2 and thus, mimics the oxidative burst of activated neutrophils. By employing this model we show that HOCl prevents the H2O2-mediated activation of iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1), a central post-transcriptional regulator of mammalian iron metabolism. Activated IRP1 binds to (R)iron-responsive elements" (IREs) within the mRNAs encoding proteins of iron metabolism and thereby controls their translation or stability. The inhibitory effect of HOCl is not a result of a direct modification of IRP1 by this oxidant. Kinetics experiments provide evidence that HOCl intervenes with the signaling cascade, which results in the activation of IRP1. We further demonstrate that HOCl antagonizes the H2O2-mediated increase in the levels of transferrin receptor, which is a downstream target of IRP1. Our findings suggest that HOCl can modulate signaling pathways in a concerted action with H2O2. The GOX/CAT/MPO system provides a valuable tool for studying the regulatory function of HOCl.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is probably the most widely used disinfectant worldwide and has an important role in inflammatory reaction and in human resistance to infection. However, the nature and mechanisms of its bactericidal activity are still poorly understood. Bacteria challenged aerobically with HOCl concentrations ranging from 9.5 to 76 microM exhibit higher ability to form colonies anaerobically than aerobically. Conversely, aerobic plating greatly increased lethality after an anaerobic HOCl challenge, although anaerobic survival did not depend on whether HOCl exposure was aerobic or anaerobic. Even a short transient exposure to air after anaerobic HOCl challenge reduced anaerobic survival, indicative of immediate deleterious effects of oxygen. Exposure to HOCl can cause lethal DNA damage as judged by the fact that recA sensitivity to HOCl was oxygen dependent. Antioxidant defenses such as reduced glutathione and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were depleted or inactivated at 10 microM HOCl, while other activities, such as superoxide dismutase, dropped only above 57 microM HOCl. Cumulative deficiencies in superoxide dismutase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase rendered strains hypersensitive to HOCl. This indicates that part of HOCl toxicity on Escherichia coli is mediated by reactive oxygen species during recovery.

Abstract
Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (LADH) lipoamide reductase activity decreased whereas enzyme diaphorase activity increased after LADH treatment with myeloperoxidase (MPO) dependent systems (MPO/H2O2/halide, MPO/NADH/halide and MPO/H2O2/nitrite systems. LADH inactivation was a function of the composition of the inactivating system and the incubation time. Chloride, iodide, bromide, and the thiocyanate anions were effective complements of the MPO/H2O2 system. NaOCl inactivated LADH, thus supporting hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as putative agent of the MPO/H2O2/NaCl system. NaOCl and the MPO/H2O2/NaCl system oxidized LADH thiols and NaOCl also oxidized LADH methionine and tyrosine residues. LADH inactivation by the MPO/NADH/halide systems was prevented by catalase and enhanced by superoxide dismutase, in close agreement with H2O2 production by the LADH/NADH system. Similar effects were obtained with lactoperoxidase and horse-radish peroxidase supplemented systems. L-cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, penicillamine, N-(2-mercaptopropionylglycine), Captopril and taurine protected LADH against MPO systems and NaOCl. The effect of the MPO/H2O2/NaNO2 system was prevented by MPO inhibitors (sodium azide, isoniazid, salicylhydroxamic acid) and also by L-cysteine, L-methionine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine, L-histidine and reduced glutathione. The summarized observations support the hypothesis that peroxidase-generated "reactive species" oxidize essential thiol groups at LADH catalytic site.

Abstract
A method for the determination of catalase activity (EC 1.11.1.6.) in homogenates and cell suspensions is described by following the decomposition of H2O2 at physiological H2O2 levels. This first chemiluminescence assay for catalase activity is based on the reaction of luminol (5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione) and NaOCl. The chemiluminescence of this reaction specifically depends on the H2O2 concentration and shows fast kinetics of less than 2 s. Using a flow technique, the exponential decay of H2O2 in the presence of catalase is followed down to 10(-8) M H2O2 at pH 7.4 over three orders of magnitude. At these very low H2O2 concentrations neither oxygen is liberated in gaseous form nor enzyme inactivation or loss of cell viability is observed. Addition of the catalase inhibitor NaN3 completely inhibits H2O2 decomposition. Since the method is not influenced by sulfhydryl and amino group containing compounds, it is especially suited for crude tissue homogenates and suspensions of intact cells. Interestingly, application to cell suspensions shows that intact human erythrocytes and rat hepatocytes exhibit only 5.8 and 1.9% of catalase activity when compared to homogenized cells. These data suggest that the diffusion of H2O2 through membranes is lower than that assumed so far.

Abstract
The reaction of human myeloperoxidase with its product, hypochlorous acid was investigated using both rapid-scan spectrophotometry and the stopped-flow technique. In the reaction of myeloperoxidase with hypochlorous acid a primary compound is found with properties similar to that of compound I and which is converted into compound II. The primary reaction is strongly pH-dependent. At pH 7.2 the reaction is too fast to be measured but at higher pH values it is possible to determine the apparent second-order rate constant. Its value decreases to about 2 x 10(7) M-1.s-1 at pH 8.3 and to 2.3 (+/- 0.4) x 10(6) M-1.s-1 at pH 9.2, respectively. The dissociation constant for the formation of the primary compound is 25.7 (+/- 15.3) microM at pH 9.2 and about 2.5 microM at pH 8.3. The apparent second-order rate constant for the formation of compound II is hardly affected by pH and varies between 2 to 5 x 10(4) M-1.s-1 at pH 10.2 and pH 8.3, respectively. Reaction of myeloperoxidase with hypochlorous acid also resulted in irreversible partial bleaching of the chromophore. Chloride, which is a substrate of the enzyme not only protects myeloperoxidase against bleaching by hypochlorous acid but also competitively inhibits the binding of hypochlorous acid to myeloperoxidase, a process which also has been observed in the reaction with hydrogen peroxide. It is concluded that hypochlorous acid binds at the heme iron to form compound I.

Abstract
Pulmonary tissue can be damaged in different ways, for instance by xenobiotics (paraquat, butylated hydroxytoluene, bleomycin), during inflammation, ischemia reperfusion, or exposure to mineral dust or to normobaric pure oxygen levels. Reactive oxygen species are partly responsible for the observed pulmonary tissue damage. Several mechanisms leading to toxicity are described in this review. The reactive oxygen species induce bronchoconstriction, elevate mucus secretion, and cause microvascular leakage, which leads to edema formation. Reactive oxygen species even induce an autonomic imbalance between muscarinic receptor-mediated contraction and the beta-adrenergic-mediated relaxation of the pulmonary smooth muscle. Vitamin E and selenium have a regulatory role in this balance between these two receptor responses. The autonomic imbalance might be involved in the development of bronchial hyperresponsiveness, occurring in lung inflammation. Finally, several antioxidants are discussed which may be beneficial as therapeutics in several lung diseases.
