A reciprocal relationship between mitochondria and lipid peroxidation determines the chondrocyte intracellular redox environment. Redox Biol 2024; 75:103306. [PMID: 39133964 PMCID: PMC11366903 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103306] [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: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
In orthopedic research, many studies have applied vitamin E as a protective antioxidant or used tert-butyl hydroperoxide to induce oxidative injury to chondrocytes. These studies often support the hypothesis that joint pathology causes oxidative stress and increased lipid peroxidation that might be prevented with lipid antioxidants to improve cell survival or function and joint health; however, lipid antioxidant supplementation was ineffective against osteoarthritis in clinical trials and animal data have been equivocal. Moreover, increased circulating vitamin E is associated with increased rates of osteoarthritis. This disconnect between benchtop and clinical results led us to hypothesize that oxidative stress-driven paradigms of chondrocyte redox function do not capture the metabolic and physiologic effects of lipid antioxidants and prooxidants on articular chondrocytes. We used ex vivo and in vivo cartilage models to investigate the effect of lipid antioxidants on healthy, primary, articular chondrocytes and applied immuno-spin trapping techniques to provide a broad indicator of high levels of oxidative stress independent of specific reactive oxygen species. Key findings demonstrate lipid antioxidants were pro-mitochondrial while lipid prooxidants decreased mitochondrial measures. In the absence of injury, radical formation was increased by lipid antioxidants; however, in the presence of injury, radical formation was decreased. In unstressed conditions, this relationship between chondrocyte mitochondria and redox regulation was reproduced in vivo with overexpression of glutathione peroxidase 4. In mice aged 18 months or more, overexpression of glutathione peroxidase 4 significantly decreased the presence of pro-mitochondrial peroxisome proliferation activated receptor gamma and deranged the relationship between mitochondria and the redox environment. This complex interaction suggests strategies targeting articular cartilage may benefit from adopting more nuanced paradigms of articular chondrocyte redox metabolism.

Abstract
Formidable and often seemingly insurmountable conceptual, technical, and methodological challenges hamper the measurement of oxidative stress in humans. For instance, fraught and flawed methods, such as the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay kits for lipid peroxidation, rate-limit progress. To advance translational redox research, we present ten comprehensive "cheat codes" for measuring oxidative stress in humans. The cheat codes include analytical approaches to assess reactive oxygen species, antioxidants, oxidative damage, and redox regulation. They provide essential conceptual, technical, and methodological information inclusive of curated "do" and "don't" guidelines. Given the biochemical complexity of oxidative stress, we present a research question-grounded decision tree guide for selecting the most appropriate cheat code(s) to implement in a prospective human experiment. Worked examples demonstrate the benefits of the decision tree-based cheat code selection tool. The ten cheat codes define an invaluable resource for measuring oxidative stress in humans.

Abstract
Diamond magnetometry makes use of fluorescent defects in diamonds to convert magnetic resonance signals into fluorescence. Because optical photons can be detected much more sensitively, this technique currently holds several sensitivity world records for room temperature magnetic measurements. It is orders of magnitude more sensitive than conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting magnetic resonances. Here, the use of diamond magnetometry to detect free radical production in single living cells with nanometer resolution is experimentally demonstrated. This measuring system is first optimized and calibrated with chemicals at known concentrations. These measurements serve as benchmarks for future experiments. While conventional MRI typically has millimeter resolution, measurements are performed on individual cells to detect nitric oxide signaling at the nanoscale, within 10-20 nm from the internalized particles localized with a diffraction limited optical resolution. This level of detail is inaccessible to the state-of-the-art techniques. Nitric oxide is detected and the dynamics of its production and inhibition in the intra- and extracellular environment are followed.

Abstract
Commercial cannabis oil products are widely available in Canada even though there is a significant gap in scientific information regarding them. Oils, such as vegetable oils, are known to undergo oxidative changes through free radical mechanisms when they are heated or aged, but the cannabis oils used in this study did not have expiry dates or best-before usage dates. This led to the question of how these products would be affected with time. We hypothesized that cannabis oils would produce increased concentrations of free radicals in aging-simulated conditions, which would be related to a decrease in cannabidiol (CBD) or Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content. Cannabis oils and their respective vehicles (oils) were heated using two protocols: One (moderate aging method) used a 2-day heating protocol at 50 °C, and the other (enhanced aging method) used a 14-day heating protocol at 70 °C. We used electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for free radical analysis using the spin trapping technique using 200 mM PBN and 0.02 mM CuCl2 (for peroxide breakdown to free radicals). For active ingredient analysis (CBD, THC), we used LC/MS. Cannabis oils that contained unsaturated oils as their vehicles, such as olive or sunflower oil, all showed varying degrees of free radical formation. In both aged and unaged oils containing CBD or THC, less free radical formation was detected compared to the vehicle controls. Cannabis oils using medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) showed little or no free radical formation. The most significant decrease in CBD or THC was observed in the products using sunflower oil, to a lesser extent in MCT oil, and THC also decreased in olive oil. These findings are important for consumers and policymakers considering using such products in hot beverages or cooking and highlighting the importance of appropriate storage conditions.

Abstract
Introduction Free radicals in oxidative stress are known to play a pathogenic role in sepsis. A major clinical challenge associated with sepsis is sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). The rapid increase of free radicals in the brain promotes SAE progression. Here, macromolecule free radicals in the mouse brain were uniquely detected by immunospin trapping (IST) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods The new strategy uses spin trapping agent DEPMPO-biotin to capture macromolecule free radicals in lesions and form biotin-DEPMPO-radical adducts. Then, a targeting MRI probe, avidin-BSA@Gd-ESIO, was used to detect the radical adducts through the highly specific binding of avidin and biotin. The avidin-BSA@Gd-ESIO probe was synthesized and systematically characterized. The detection capability of the new strategy was evaluated in vitro and in vivo using a confocal microscope and a 7T MRI, respectively. Results In reactive oxygen species (ROS)–induced microglial cells, the accumulation of the avidin-BSA@Gd-ESIO probe in the DEPMPO-biotin-treated group was significantly higher than that of control groups. In vivo MRI T1 signal intensities were significantly higher within the hippocampus, striatum, and medial cortex of the brain in mice with a mild or severe degree of sepsis compared with the sham control group. Histological analysis validated that the distribution of the avidin-BSA@Gd-ESIO probe in brain tissue slices was consistent with the MRI images. The fluorescence signals of ROS and avidin-BSA@Gd-ESIO probe were overlapped and visualized using immunofluorescent staining. By evaluating the T1 signal changes over time in different areas of the brain, we estimated the optimal MRI detection time to be 30 minutes after the probe administration. Discussion This method can be applied specifically to assess the level of macromolecular free radicals in vivo in a simple and stable manner, providing a pathway for a more comprehensive understanding of the role of free radicals in SAE.

Abstract
Determine if oxidative damage increases in articular cartilage as a result of injury and matrix failure and whether modulation of the local redox environment influences this damage. Osteoarthritis is an age associated disease with no current disease modifying approaches available. Mechanisms of cartilage damage in vitro suggest tissue free radical production could be critical to early degeneration, but these mechanisms have not been described in intact tissue. To assess free radical production as a result of traumatic injury, we measured biomolecular free radical generation via immuno-spin trapping (IST) of protein/proteoglycan/lipid free radicals after a 2 J/cm2 impact to swine articular cartilage explants. This technique allows visualization of free radical formation upon a wide variety of molecules using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded approaches. Scoring of extracellular staining by trained, blinded scorers demonstrated significant increases with impact injury, particularly at sites of cartilage cracking. Increases remain in the absence of live chondrocytes but are diminished; thus, they appear to be a cell-dependent and -independent feature of injury. We then modulated the extracellular environment with a pulse of heparin to demonstrate the responsiveness of the IST signal to changes in cartilage biology. Addition of heparin caused a distinct change in the distribution of protein/lipid free radicals at sites of failure alongside a variety of pertinent redox changes related to osteoarthritis. This study directly confirms the production of biomolecular free radicals from articular trauma, providing a rigorous characterization of their formation by injury.

Abstract
'Reactive oxygen species' (ROS) is a generic term that defines a wide variety of oxidant molecules with vastly different properties and biological functions that range from signalling to causing cell damage. Consequently, the description of oxidants needs to be chemically precise to translate research on their biological effects into therapeutic benefit in redox medicine. This Expert Recommendation article pinpoints key issues associated with identifying the physiological roles of oxidants, focusing on H2O2 and O2.-. The generic term ROS should not be used to describe specific molecular agents. We also advocate for greater precision in measurement of H2O2, O2.- and other oxidants, along with more specific identification of their signalling targets. Future work should also consider inter-organellar communication and the interactions of redox-sensitive signalling targets within organs and whole organisms, including the contribution of environmental exposures. To achieve these goals, development of tools that enable site-specific and real-time detection and quantification of individual oxidants in cells and model organisms are needed. We also stress that physiological O2 levels should be maintained in cell culture to better mimic in vivo redox reactions associated with specific cell types. Use of precise definitions and analytical tools will help harmonize research among the many scientific disciplines working on the common goal of understanding redox biology.

Abstract
Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is a high-altitude (HA) maladaptation syndrome characterised by elevated systemic oxidative-nitrosative stress (OXNOS) due to a free radical-mediated reduction in vascular nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. To better define underlying mechanisms and vascular consequences, this study compared healthy male lowlanders (80 m, n = 10) against age/sex-matched highlanders born and bred in La Paz, Bolivia (3600 m) with (CMS+, n = 10) and without (CMS-, n = 10) CMS. Cephalic venous blood was assayed using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and reductive ozone-based chemiluminescence. Nutritional intake was assessed via dietary recall. Systemic vascular function and structure were assessed via flow-mediated dilatation, aortic pulse wave velocity and carotid intima-media thickness using duplex ultrasound and applanation tonometry. Basal systemic OXNOS was permanently elevated in highlanders (P = <0.001 vs. lowlanders) and further exaggerated in CMS+, reflected by increased hydroxyl radical spin adduct formation (P = <0.001 vs. CMS-) subsequent to liberation of free 'catalytic' iron consistent with a Fenton and/or nucleophilic addition mechanism(s). This was accompanied by elevated global protein carbonylation (P = 0.046 vs. CMS-) and corresponding reduction in plasma nitrite (P = <0.001 vs. lowlanders). Dietary intake of vitamins C and E, carotene, magnesium and retinol were lower in highlanders and especially deficient in CMS + due to reduced consumption of fruit and vegetables (P = <0.001 to 0.028 vs. lowlanders/CMS-). Systemic vascular function and structure were also impaired in highlanders (P = <0.001 to 0.040 vs. lowlanders) with more marked dysfunction observed in CMS+ (P = 0.035 to 0.043 vs. CMS-) in direct proportion to systemic OXNOS (r = -0.692 to 0.595, P = <0.001 to 0.045). Collectively, these findings suggest that lifelong exposure to iron-catalysed systemic OXNOS, compounded by a dietary deficiency of antioxidant micronutrients, likely contributes to the systemic vascular complications and increased morbidity/mortality in CMS+.

Abstract
Unravelling how reactive oxygen species regulate fundamental biological processes is hampered by the lack of an accessible microplate technique to quantify target-specific protein thiol redox state in percentages and moles. To meet this unmet need, we present RedoxiFluor. RedoxiFluor uses two spectrally distinct thiol-reactive fluorescent conjugated reporters, a capture antibody, detector antibody and a standard curve to quantify target-specific protein thiol redox state in relative percentage and molar terms. RedoxiFluor can operate in global mode to assess the redox state of the bulk thiol proteome and can simultaneously assess the redox state of multiple targets in array mode. Extensive proof-of-principle experiments robustly validate the assay principle and the value of each RedoxiFluor mode in diverse biological contexts. In particular, array mode RedoxiFluor shows that the response of redox-regulated phosphatases to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) differs in human monocytes. Specifically, LPS increased PP2A-, SHP1-, PTP1B-, and CD45-specific reversible thiol oxidation without changing the redox state of calcineurin, PTEN, and SHP2. The relative percentage and molar terms are interpretationally useful and define the most complete and extensive microplate redox analysis achieved to date. RedoxiFluor is a new antibody technology with the power to quantify relative target-specific protein thiol redox state in percentages and moles relative to the bulk thiol proteome and selected other targets in a widely accessible, simple and easily implementable microplate format.

Abstract
To understand oxidative stress, antioxidant defense, and redox signaling in health and disease it is essential to assess protein thiol redox state. Protein thiol redox state is seldom assessed immunologically because of the inability to distinguish reduced and reversibly oxidized thiols by Western blotting. An underappreciated opportunity exists to use Click PEGylation to realize the transformative power of simple, time and cost-efficient immunological techniques. Click PEGylation harnesses selective, bio-orthogonal Click chemistry to separate reduced and reversibly oxidized thiols by selectively ligating a low molecular weight polyethylene glycol moiety to the redox state of interest. The resultant ability to disambiguate reduced and reversibly oxidized species by Western blotting enables Click PEGylation to assess protein thiol redox state. In the present review, to enable investigators to effectively harness immunological techniques to assess protein thiol redox state we critique the chemistry, promise and challenges of Click PEGylation.

Abstract
Exposure of biological molecules to oxidants is inevitable and therefore commonplace. Oxidative stress in cells arises from both external agents and endogenous processes that generate reactive species, either purposely (e.g. during pathogen killing or enzymatic reactions) or accidentally (e.g. exposure to radiation, pollutants, drugs, or chemicals). As proteins are highly abundant and react rapidly with many oxidants, they are highly susceptible to, and major targets of, oxidative damage. This can result in changes to protein structure, function, and turnover and to loss or (occasional) gain of activity. Accumulation of oxidatively-modified proteins, due to either increased generation or decreased removal, has been associated with both aging and multiple diseases. Different oxidants generate a broad, and sometimes characteristic, spectrum of post-translational modifications. The kinetics (rates) of damage formation also vary dramatically. There is a pressing need for reliable and robust methods that can detect, identify, and quantify the products formed on amino acids, peptides, and proteins, especially in complex systems. This review summarizes several advances in our understanding of this complex chemistry and highlights methods that are available to detect oxidative modifications-at the amino acid, peptide, or protein level-and their nature, quantity, and position within a peptide sequence. Although considerable progress has been made in the development and application of new techniques, it is clear that further development is required to fully assess the relative importance of protein oxidation and to determine whether an oxidation is a cause, or merely a consequence, of injurious processes.
