Endothelial Cell Behavior and Nitric Oxide Production on a-C:H:SiO x-Coated Ti-6Al-4V Substrate. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:6675. [PMID: 37047649 PMCID: PMC10095527 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
This paper focuses on the surface modification of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrate via a-C:H:SiOx coating deposition. Research results concern the a-C:H:SiOx coating structure, investigated using transmission electron microscopy and in vitro endothelization to study the coating. Based on the analysis of the atomic radial distribution function, a model is proposed for the atomic short-range order structure of the a-C:H:SiOx coating, and chemical bonds (C-O, C-C, Si-C, Si-O, and Si-Si) are identified. It is shown that the a-C:H:SiOx coating does not possess prolonged cytotoxicity in relation to EA.hy926 endothelial cells. In vitro investigations showed that the adhesion, cell number, and nitric oxide production by EA.hy926 endothelial cells on the a-C:H:SiOx-coated Ti-6Al-4V substrate are significantly lower than those on the uncoated surface. The findings suggest that the a-C:H:SiOx coating can reduce the risk of endothelial cell hyperproliferation on implants and medical devices, including mechanical prosthetic heart valves, endovascular stents, and mechanical circulatory support devices.

Abstract
HIF-1alpha represents the oxygen-regulated sub-unit of the transcription factor HIF-1, which regulates the transcription of numerous genes involved in cellular response to hypoxia and oxidative stress. It is shown here that nitric oxide (NO) induces HIF-1alpha stabilization in human endothelial cells from umbilical cords (HUVECs) under normoxic conditions. HIF-1alpha protein was increased approximately 36-fold after incubation with 500 microM DETA-NO, which releases a steady state NO concentration of roughly one thousandth of the initial concentration of the donor. Loading of the cells with vitamin C counteracted NO-induced HIF-1alpha accumulation. Based on the observations that oxidative and nitrosative stress can influence the activity of the proteasomal system, which is responsible for the non-lysosomal degradation of proteins, among them HIF-1alpha, it was investigated whether NO-induced stabilization of HIF-1alpha might be due to reduced 20S proteasomal activity. This hypothesis could not be proved, because NO concentrations to inhibit 20S proteasomal activity were about one order of magnitude higher than that to inhibit HIF-1alpha degradation.

Abstract
1.--The addition of Ca(2+) ionophore A23187 or ATP to freshly isolated or cultured pig coronary artery endothelial cells (PCEC) potentiated the release of ascorbate (Asc). Cultured PCEC were used to characterize the Ca(2+)-mediated release. An increase in Ca(2+)-mediated Asc release was observed from PCEC preincubated with Asc, Asc-2-phosphate or dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA). 2.--The effects of various ATP analogs and inhibition by suramin were consistent with the ATP-induced release being mediated by P2Y2-like receptors. 3.--ATP-stimulated Asc release was Ca(2+)-mediated because (a) ATP analogs that increased Asc release also elevated cytosolic [Ca(2+)], (b) Ca(2+) ionophore A23187 and cyclopiazonic acid stimulated the Asc release, (c) removing extracellular Ca(2+) and chelating intracellular Ca(2+)inhibited the ATP-induced release, and (d) inositol-selective phospholipase C inhibitor U73122 also inhibited this release. 4.--Accumulation of Asc by PCEC was examined at Asc concentrations of 10 microM (Na(+)-Asc symporter not saturated) and 5 mM (Na(+)-Asc symporter saturated). At 10 microM Asc, A23187 and ATP caused an inhibition of Asc accumulation but at 5 mM Asc, both the agents caused a stimulation. Substituting gluconate for chloride did not affect the basal Asc uptake but it abolished the effects of A23187. 5.--PCEC but not pig coronary artery smooth muscle cells show a Ca(2+)- mediated Asc release pathway that may be activated by agents such as ATP.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), a radical species produced by many types of cells, is known to play a critical role in many regulatory processes, yet it may also participate in collateral reactions at higher concentrations, leading to cellular oxidative damage. The protective role of antioxidant enzymes against NO-induced oxidative damage in U937 cells was investigated in control and cells pre-treated with diethyldithiocarbamic acid, aminotriazole, and oxlalomalate, specific inhibitors of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, respectively. Upon exposure to 1 mM S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), the nitric oxide donor, to U937 cells, the viability was lower and the protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage reflected by an increase in 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, were higher in inhibitor-treated cells as compared to control cells. We also observed the significant increase in the endogenous production of reactive oxygen species, as measured by the oxidation of 2'7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescin as well as the significant decrease in the intracellular GSH level in inhibitor-treated U937 cells upon exposure to NO. Upon exposure to 0.2 mM SNAP, which induced apoptotic cell death, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the control and inhibitor-treated U937 cells in their susceptibility to apoptosis. These results suggest that antioxidant enzymes play an important role in cellular defense against NO-induced cell death including necrosis and apoptosis.

Abstract
beta-Amyloid causes apoptosis and death in cultured neurons that may be mediated by generation of reactive oxygen species. Since ascorbic acid concentrations are relatively high in brain, we tested whether and how this antioxidant might protect cultured SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells from apoptotic cell death. SH-SY5Y cells did not contain ascorbate in culture but readily took it up to achieve intracellular concentrations several-fold those of GSH. Treatment of cells with 2-10 microM beta-amyloid(25-35) decreased both intracellular ascorbate and GSH without affecting rates of ascorbate transport, which suggests that the peptide induces an oxidant stress in the cells. Overnight culture of cells with 10-20 microM beta-amyloid(25-35) induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells when measured as externalization of phosphatidylserine by annexin V binding, as DNA fragmentation in the TUNEL assay, and as caspase-3 activity in cell lysates. Pre-loading cells with ascorbate substantially prevented apoptosis measured by these assays as well as cell death. In addition to preventing apoptosis, ascorbate loading of SH-SY5Y cells also decreased basal rates of generation of endogenous beta-amyloid. Together, these results support the notion that beta-amyloid induces apoptosis and death in neurons due to oxidant stress and suggest that intracellular ascorbate effectively prevents this toxicity.

Abstract
Sensitive to apoptosis gene (SAG) protein, a novel zinc RING finger protein that protects mammalian cells from apoptosis by redox reagents, is a metal chelator and a potential reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, but its antioxidant properties have not been completely defined. Nitric oxide (NO), a radical species produced by many types of cells, is known to play a critical role in many regulatory processes, yet it may also participate in collateral reactions at higher concentrations, leading to cellular oxidative stress. In this report, we demonstrate that modulation of SAG expression in U937 cells regulates NO-induced apoptosis. When we examined the protective role of SAG against NO-induced apoptosis with U937 cells transfected with the cDNA for SAG, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of SAG expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to apoptosis. We also observed the significant decrease in the endogenous production of ROS and oxidative DNA damage in SAG-overexpressed cells compared to control cells upon exposure to NO. These results suggest that SAG plays an important protective role in NO-induced apoptosis, presumably, through regulating the cellular redox status.

Abstract
Since activated macrophages generate potentially deleterious reactive oxygen species, we studied whether ascorbic acid might function as an antioxidant in these cells. Thioglycollate-elicited murine peritoneal macrophages contained about 3 mM ascorbate that was halved by culture in ascorbate-free medium. However, the cells took up added ascorbate to concentrations of 6-8 mM by a high-affinity sodium-dependent transport mechanism. This likely reflected the activity of the SVCT2 ascorbate transporter, since its message and protein were present in the cells. Activation of the cells by phagocytosis of latex particles depleted intracellular ascorbate, although not below the basal levels present in the cells in culture. Glutathione (GSH) was unaffected by phagocytosis, suggesting that ascorbate was more sensitive to the oxidant stress of phagocytosis than GSH. Phagocytosis induced a modest increase in reactive oxygen species as well as a progressive loss of alpha-tocopherol, both of which were prevented in cells loaded with ascorbate. These results suggest that activated macrophages can use ascorbate to lessen self-generated oxidant stress and spare alpha-tocopherol, which may protect these long-lived cells from necrosis or apoptosis.

Abstract
Redox state is a widely used term for the description of redox phenomena in biological systems. The regulating mechanisms responsible for maintaining the redox state are not yet fully known. But it was shown that changes in the redox state might lead to a cascade of intracellular events, beneficial or deleterious to the cell. There are several methods for the description of the intracellular redox state. These methods are based on using measured intracellular concentrations of reduced and oxidized glutathione in the Nernst equation. However, glutathione is not always a basic redox component in biological fluids, organelles, cells or tissues. As a result, changes in the intracellular redox state are not always accompanied by considerable changes of glutathione concentration. In this work it was proposed to use the concept of effective reduction potential for the quantitative characteristic of the intracellular redox state. The effective reduction potential was substantiated on the basis of a thermodynamic description. A new equation for the calculation of the effective reduction potential was derived. This equation summarizes the contribution of different oxidizing and reducing agents in the formation of an effective redox potential. The theoretical estimation of the effective reduction potential values for the different biological fluids and cells was carried out with the use of a method developed.
