Cruz LC, Habibovic A, Dempsey B, Massafera MP, Janssen-Heininger YMW, Lin MCJ, Hoffman ET, Weiss DJ, Huang SK, van der Vliet A, Meotti FC. Identification of tyrosine brominated extracellular matrix proteins in normal and fibrotic lung tissues. Redox Biol 2024; 71:103102. [PMID: 38430684 PMCID: PMC10912723 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2024.103102] [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: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is a secreted heme peroxidase that catalyzes the oxidative crosslinking of collagen IV within the extracellular matrix (ECM) via intermediate hypobromous acid (HOBr) synthesis from hydrogen peroxide and bromide, but recent findings have also suggested alternative ECM protein modifications by PXDN, including incorporation of bromide into tyrosine residues. In this work, we sought to identify the major target proteins for tyrosine bromination by HOBr or by PXDN-mediated oxidation in ECM from mouse teratocarcinoma PFHR9 cells. We detected 61 bromotyrosine (BrY)-containing peptides representing 23 proteins in HOBr-modified ECM from PFHR9 cells, among which laminins displayed the most prominent bromotyrosine incorporation. Moreover, we also found that laminin α1, laminin β1, and tubulointerstitial nephritis antigen-like (TINAGL1) contained BrY in untreated PFHR9 cells, which depended on PXDN. We extended these analyses to lung tissues from both healthy mice and mice with experimental lung fibrosis, and in lung tissues obtained from human subjects. Analysis of ECM-enriched mouse lung tissue extracts showed that 83 ECM proteins were elevated in bleomycin-induced fibrosis, which included various collagens and laminins, and PXDN. Similarly, mRNA and protein expression of PXDN and laminin α/β1 were enhanced in fibrotic mouse lung tissues, and also in mouse bone-marrow-derived macrophages or human fibroblasts stimulated with transforming growth factor β1, a profibrotic growth factor. We identified 11 BrY-containing ECM proteins, including collagen IV α2, collagen VI α1, TINAGL1, and various laminins, in both healthy and mouse fibrotic lung tissues, although the relative extent of tyrosine bromination of laminins was not significantly increased during fibrosis. Finally, we also identified 7 BrY-containing ECM proteins in human lung tissues, again including collagen IV α2, collagen VI α1, and TINAGL1. Altogether, this work demonstrates the presence of several bromotyrosine-modified ECM proteins, likely involving PXDN, even in normal lung tissues, suggesting a potential biological function for these modifications.

Artificial neuronal network analysis in investigating the relationship between oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress to address blocked vessels in cardiovascular disease. J Med Biochem 2022; 41:518-525.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world and is associated with significant morbidity. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, and stroke. The mechanism of atherosclerosis has not been well investigated in different aspects, such as the relationship between oxidative stress and endothelial function. This project aims to investigate whether an oxidative enzyme vascular peroxidase 1 (VPO1) and activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) can be used as biomarkers in highlighting the pathogenesis of the disease and in evaluating the prognosis of the relationship with endoplasmic reticulum and oxidative stress. This paper used artificial neural network analysis to predict cardiovascular disease risk based on new generation biochemical markers that combine vascular inflammation, oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress. METHODS For this purpose, 80 patients were evaluated according to the coronary angiography results. hs-CRP, lipid parameters and demographic characteristics, VPO1, ATF4 and Glutathione peroxidase 1(GPx1) levels were measured. RESULTS We found an increase in VPO1 and hs-CRP levels in single-vessel disease as compared to controls. On the contrary, ATF4 and GPx1 levels were decreased in the same group, which was not significant. Our results showed a significant positive correlation between ATF4 and lipid parameters. A statistically significant positive correlation was also observed for VPO1 and ATF4 (r=0.367, P<0.05), and a negative correlation was found for ATF4 and GPx1 (r=-0.467, P<0.01). A significant negative relationship was noted for GPx1 and hs-CRP in two/three-vessel disease (r=-0.366, P<0.05). Artificial neural network analysis stated that body mass index (BMI) and smoking history information give us an important clue as compared to age, gender and alcohol consumption parameters when predicting the number of blocked vessels. CONCLUSIONS VPO1 and ATF4 might be potential biomarkers associated with coronary artery disease, especially in the follow-up and monitoring of treatment protocols, in addition to traditional risk factors.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11061117. [PMID: 35740014 PMCID: PMC9220231 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11061117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Uric acid is considered the main substrate for peroxidases in plasma. The oxidation of uric acid by human peroxidases generates urate free radical and urate hydroperoxide, which might affect endothelial function and explain, at least in part, the harmful effects of uric acid on the vascular system. Peroxidasin (PXDN), the most recent heme-peroxidase described in humans, catalyzes the formation of hypobromous acid, which mediates collagen IV crosslinks in the extracellular matrix. This enzyme has gained increasing scientific interest since it is associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer, and renal fibrosis. The main objective here was to investigate whether uric acid would react with PXDN and compromise the function of the enzyme in human endothelial cells. Urate decreased Amplex Red oxidation and brominating activity in the extracellular matrix (ECM) from HEK293/PXDN overexpressing cells and in the secretome of HUVECs. Parallelly, urate was oxidized to 5-hydroxyisourate. It also decreased collagen IV crosslink in isolated ECM from PFHR9 cells. Urate, the PXDN inhibitor phloroglucinol, and the PXDN knockdown impaired migration and adhesion of HUVECs. These results demonstrated that uric acid can affect extracellular matrix formation by competing for PXDN. The oxidation of uric acid by PXDN is likely a relevant mechanism in the endothelial dysfunction related to this metabolite.

Abstract
Heme-containing peroxidases catalyze the oxidation of a variety of substrates by consuming hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and play diversified roles in physiology and pathology including innate immunity, the synthesis of thyroid hormone and the extracellular matrix, as well as the pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases. Peroxidasin (PXDN), also known as Vascular Peroxidase-1 (VPO1), is a newly identified peroxidase and expresses in multiple cells and tissues including cardiovascular system and the lung. Recent studies imply its roles in the innate immunity, cardiovascular physiology and diseases, and extracellular matrix formation. Studies on the role of PXDN in human diseases are entering a new and exciting stage, and this review provides the insights into this emerging field of PXDN.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from NADPH oxidases (NOX) plays an essential role in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced diabetic vascular endothelial dysfunction. Peroxidasin (PXDN, VPO1) is one member of peroxidases family that catalyzes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to hypochlorous acid (HOCl). This present study aimed to elucidate the role of PXDN in promoting vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by AGEs in diabetes mellitus. We found that, compared to non-diabetic (db/m) mice, PXDN expression was notably increased in db/db mice with impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation. Knockdown of PXDN in vivo through tail vein injection of siRNA restored the impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation function of db/db mice which is accompanied with up-regulation of eNOS Ser1177 phosphorylation and NO production. AGEs significantly elevated expression of PXDN and 3-Cl-Tyr, but decreased phosphorylation of Akt and eNOS and NO release in HUVECs. All these effects induced by AGEs were remarkable alleviated by silencing PXDN with small interfering RNAs. In addition, HOCl treatment alone as well as HOCl added with Akt inhibitor MK2206 inhibited phosphorylation of Akt and eNOS, reducing NO production. More importantly,AGEs-induced up-regulation of PXDN and 3-Cl-Tyr with endothelial dysfunction were transformed by NOX2 silencing and H2O2 scavengers. Thus, these results support the conclusion that PXDN promotes AGEs-induced diabetic vascular endothelial dysfunction by attenuating eNOS phosphorylation at Ser1177 via NOX2/HOCl/Akt pathway.

Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common benign tumors in early childhood. They show a distinctive mechanism of tumor growth in which a rapid proliferative phase is followed by a regression phase (involution). Propranolol is an approved treatment for IHs, but its mechanism of action remains unclear. We integrated and harmonized microRNA and mRNA transcriptome data from newly generated microarray data on IHs with publicly available data on toxicological transcriptomics from propranolol exposure, and with microRNA data from IHs and propranolol exposure. We identified subsets of putative biomarkers for proliferation and involution as well as a small set of putative biomarkers for propranolol's mechanism of action for IHs, namely EPAS1, LASP1, SLC25A23, MYO1B, and ALDH1A1. Based on our integrative data approach and confirmatory experiments, we concluded that hypoxia in IHs is regulated by EPAS1 (HIF-2α) instead of HIF-1α, and also that propranolol-induced apoptosis in endothelial cells may occur via mitochondrial stress.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis is the most important mechanism contributing to cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). VPO1 is a heme enzyme that uses hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Our previous study has demonstrated that VPO1 regulates myocardial ischemic reperfusion and renal fibrosis. We investigated the role of VPO1 in cardiac fibrosis after MI. The results showed that VPO1 expression was robustly upregulated in the failing human heart with ischemic cardiomyopathy and in a murine model of MI accompanied by severe cardiac fibrosis. Most importantly, knockdown of VPO1 by tail vein injection of VPO1 siRNA significantly reduced cardiac fibrosis and improved cardiac function and survival rate. In VPO1 knockdown mouse model and cardiac fibroblasts cultured with TGF-β1, VPO1 contributes to cardiac fibroblasts differentiation, migration, collagen I synthesis and proliferation. Mechanistically, the fibrotic effects following MI of VPO1 manifested partially through HOCl formation to activate Smad2/3 and ERK1/2. Thus, we conclude that VPO1 is a crucial regulator of cardiac fibrosis after MI by mediating HOCl/Smad2/3 and ERK1/2 signaling pathways, implying a promising therapeutic target in ischemic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Isolariciresinol-9'-O-α-L-arabinofuranoside (MWS‑19) isolated from Pinus massoniana Lamb. Fresh pine needles is the major ingredient of the Songling Xuemaikang capsule therapy used for hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of MWS‑19 on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‑induced apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). To investigate the effect of MWS‑19 on apoptosis in HUVECs, an oxidative stress‑induced apoptosis model was established in HUVECs using H2O2, and the present study performed Hoechst 33258 staining and a Cell Counting Kit‑8 (CCK‑8) assay. Furthermore, western blot analysis was also performed to investigate the underlying mechanism of the effects of MWS‑19 on the model. The results demonstrated that MWS‑19 reversed the effects of H2O2 on cell apoptosis at a concentration range of 15.6‑250 µg/ml, with dose‑dependent increases in cell growth. Hoechst staining indicated that 500 µM H2O2 induced HUVEC apoptosis, and MWS‑19 markedly protected HUVECs against apoptosis at 31.3, 62.5 and 125 µg/ml. Furthermore, the protein expression of phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated‑Akt and Bcl‑2‑associated agonist of cell death (Bad) were increased, and reduced caspase‑3 activation was observed, following treatment with MWS‑19 in H2O2‑treated HUVECs. Additionally, the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin attenuated PI3K/Akt/Bad signaling induced by MWS‑19 treatment and neutralized the effect of MWS‑19 on the growth of HUVECs. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that MWS‑19 may protect against H2O2‑induced HUVEC apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt/Bad signaling pathway. MWS‑19 may serve an important role in the prevention of oxidative damage in vascular endothelial cells in hypertension patients.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Basement membranes (BMs) are sheet-like structures of specialized extracellular matrix that underlie nearly all tissue cell layers including epithelial, endothelial, and muscle cells. BMs not only provide structural support but are also critical for the development, maintenance, and repair of organs. Animal heme peroxidases generate highly reactive hypohalous acids extracellularly and, therefore, target BMs for oxidative modification. Given the importance of BMs in tissue structure and function, hypohalous acid-mediated oxidative modifications of BM proteins represent a key mechanism in normal development and pathogenesis of disease. Recent Advances: Peroxidasin (PXDN), a BM-associated animal heme peroxidase, generates hypobromous acid (HOBr) to form sulfilimine cross-links within the collagen IV network of BM. These cross-links stabilize BM and are critical for animal tissue development. These findings highlight a paradoxical anabolic role for HOBr, which typically damages protein structure leading to dysfunction. CRITICAL ISSUES The molecular mechanism whereby PXDN uses HOBr as a reactive intermediate to cross-link collagen IV, yet avoid collateral damage to nearby BM proteins, remains unclear. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The exact identification and functional impact of specific hypohalous acid-mediated modifications of BM proteins need to be addressed to connect these modifications to tissue development and pathogenesis of disease. As seen with the sulfilimine cross-link of collagen IV, hypohalous acid oxidative events may be beneficial in select situations rather than uniformly deleterious. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 27, 839-854.

Abstract
Vascular peroxidase 1 (VPO1) is a member of the peroxidase family which aggravates oxidative stress by producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Our previous study demonstrated that VPO1 plays a critical role in endothelial dysfunction through dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase2 (DDAH2)/asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) pathway. Hereby we describe the regulatory role of VPO1 on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and activity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In HUVECs AngiotensinII (100 nM) treatment reduced Nitric Oxide (NO) production, decreased eNOS expression and activity, which were reversed by VPO1 siRNA. Knockdown of VPO1 also attenuated ADMA production and eNOS uncoupling while enhancing phosphorylated ser1177 eNOS expression level. Furthermore, HOCl stimulation was shown to directly induce ADMA production and eNOS uncoupling, decrease phosphorylated ser1177 eNOS expression. It also significantly suppressed eNOS expression and activity together with NO production. Therefore, VPO1 plays a vital role in regulating eNOS expression and activity via hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-VPO1-HOCl pathway. Angiotensin II decreased eNOS expression and activity in HUVECs. VPO1 plays an important role in regulating eNOS expression and activity in HUVECs. VPO1 regulates eNOS expression and activity through VPO1/H2O2/HOCl pathway.

Abstract
The limited availability of qualified endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is a major challenge for regenerative medicine. In the present study, we isolated human EPCs from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by using magnetic micro-beads coated with an antibody against human CD34. Flow cytometric assay showed that majority of these cells expressed VEGFR2 (KDR), CD34 and CD133, three molecular markers for early EPCs. It was also found that a bioreactor micro-carrier cell culture system (bio-MCCS) was superior to dish culture for in vitro expansion of EPCs. It expanded more EPCs which were in the early stage, as shown by the expression of characteristic molecular markers and had better angiogenic potential, as shown by matrix-gel based in vitro angiogenesis assay. These results suggest that HUVECs might be a novel promising resource of EPCs for regenerative medicine and that a bio-MCCS cell culture system might be broadly used for in vitro expansion of EPCs.
