Saraev DD, Pratt DA. Reactions of lipid hydroperoxides and how they may contribute to ferroptosis sensitivity. Curr Opin Chem Biol 2024; 81:102478.

Abstract
The accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) has long been associated with numerous pathologies and has more recently been shown to drive a specific type of cell death known as ferroptosis. In competition with their detoxification by glutathione peroxidases, LOOHs can react with both one-electron reductants and one-electron oxidants to afford radicals that initiate lipid peroxidation (LPO) chain reactions leading to more LOOH. These radicals can alternatively undergo a variety of (primarily unimolecular) reactions leading to electrophilic species that destabilize the membrane and/or react with cellular nucleophiles. While some reaction mechanisms leading to lipid-derived electrophiles have been known for some time, others have only recently been elucidated. Since LOOH (and related peroxides, LOOL) undergo these various reactions at different rates to afford distinct product distributions specific to their structures, not all LOOHs (and LOOLs) should be equivalently problematic for the cell - be it in their propensity to initiate further LPO or fragment to electrophiles, drive membrane permeabilization and eventual cell death. Herein we briefly review the fates of LOOH and discuss how they may contribute to the modulation of cell sensitivity to ferroptosis by different lipids.

Abstract
Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) that increase its kinase activity are strongly linked to genetic forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the regulation of endogenous wild-type (WT) LRRK2 kinase activity remains poorly understood, despite its frequent elevation in idiopathic PD (iPD) patients. Various stressors such as mitochondrial dysfunction, lysosomal dyshomeostasis, or vesicle trafficking deficits can activate WT LRRK2 kinase, but the specific molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. We found that the production of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), a lipid hydroperoxidation end-product, is a common biochemical response to these diverse stimuli. 4-HNE forms post-translational adducts with Cys2024 and Cys2025 in the kinase activation loop of WT LRRK2, significantly increasing its kinase activity. Additionally, we discovered that the 4-HNE responsible for regulating LRRK2 is generated by the action of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO), making 15-LO an upstream regulator of the pathogenic hyperactivation of LRRK2 kinase activity. Pharmacological inhibition or genetic ablation of 15-LO prevents 4-HNE post-translational modification of LRRK2 kinase and its subsequent pathogenic hyperactivation. Therefore, 15-LO inhibitors, or methods to lower 4-HNE levels, or the targeting of Cys2024/2025 could provide new therapeutic strategies to modulate LRRK2 kinase activity and treat PD.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease of medium and large arteries, characterized by the presence of lipid-rich plaques lining the intima over time. It is the main cause of cardiovascular diseases and death worldwide. Redox imbalance and lipid peroxidation could play key roles in atherosclerosis by promoting a bundle of responses, including endothelial activation, inflammation, and foam cell formation. The oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids generates various lipid oxidation products such as reactive carbonyl species (RCS), including 4-hydroxy alkenals, malondialdehyde, and acrolein. RCS covalently bind to nucleophilic groups of nucleic acids, phospholipids, and proteins, modifying their structure and activity and leading to their progressive dysfunction. Protein lipoxidation is the non-enzymatic post-translational modification of proteins by RCS. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and apolipoprotein B (apoB) modification by RCS play a major role in foam cell formation. Moreover, oxidized LDLs are a source of RCS, which form adducts on a huge number of proteins, depending on oxidative stress intensity, the nature of targets, and the availability of detoxifying systems. Many systems are affected by lipoxidation, including extracellular matrix components, membranes, cytoplasmic and cytoskeletal proteins, transcription factors, and other components. The mechanisms involved in lipoxidation-induced vascular dysfunction are not fully elucidated. In this review, we focus on protein lipoxidation during atherogenesis.

Abstract
Panax notoginseng, a Chinese traditional food and herb medicine, possesses notable cardiovascular health-promoting properties, with notoginsenoside (NG)-R1 being a key active compound. Insulin resistance represents a global health concern associated with various metabolic disorders. This study investigated the effects of NG-R1 on palmitic acid (PA)-induced insulin resistance and oxidative stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Our findings demonstrate that NG-R1 significantly alleviated impaired glucose uptake, enhanced the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) at Ser473, and reduced the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) at Ser307 in PA-treated HUVECs. Furthermore, NG-R1 treatment significantly lowered the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), while increasing the ratio of reduced glutathione (GSH) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Additionally, NG-R1 activated the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, leading to a substantial increase in the expression of antioxidant enzymes. Notably, knockdown of Nrf2 attenuated the beneficial effects of NG-R1 on PA-induced insulin resistance and oxidative stress in HUVECs, suggesting that NG-R1 exerts its effects through the Nrf2/ARE pathway. In summary, our study reveals that NG-R1 ameliorated PA-induced insulin resistance in HUVECs via Nrf2/ARE pathway, providing novel insights into its potential for alleviating metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a highly successful human pathogen that colonizes stomach in around 50% of the global population. The colonization of bacterium induces an inflammatory response and a substantial rise in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), mostly derived from host neutrophils and gastric epithelial cells, which play a crucial role in combating bacterial infections. However, H. pylori has developed various strategies to quench the deleterious effects of ROS, including the production of antioxidant enzymes, antioxidant proteins as well as blocking the generation of oxidants. The host's inability to eliminate H. pylori infection results in persistent ROS production. Notably, excessive ROS can disrupt the intracellular signal transduction and biological processes of the host, incurring chronic inflammation and cellular damage, such as DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, and protein oxidation. Markedly, the sustained inflammatory response and oxidative stress during H. pylori infection are major risk factor for gastric carcinogenesis. In this context, we summarize the literature on H. pylori infection-induced ROS production, the strategies used by H. pylori to counteract the host response, and subsequent host damage and gastric carcinogenesis.

Potential roles of 4HNE-adducted protein in serum extracellular vesicles as an early indicator of oxidative response against doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy in rats. Curr Res Toxicol 2023; 5:100134. [PMID: 37964944 PMCID: PMC10641738 DOI: 10.1016/j.crtox.2023.100134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Late-onset cardiomyopathy is becoming more common among cancer survivors, particularly those who received doxorubicin (DOXO) treatment. However, few clinically available cardiac biomarkers can predict an unfavorable cardiac outcome before cell death. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases and others. This study aimed to measure dynamic 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE)-adducted protein levels in rats treated chronically with DOXO and examine their link with oxidative stress, antioxidant gene expression in cardiac tissues, and cardiac function. Twenty-two male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to receive intraperitoneal injection of normal saline (n = 8) or DOXO (3 mg/kg, 6 doses, n = 14). Before and after therapy, serum EVs and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels were determined. Tunable resistive pulse sensing was used to measure EV size and concentration. ELISA was used to assess 4HNE-adducted protein in EVs and cardiac tissues. Differential-display reverse transcription-PCR was used to quantitate cardiac Cat and Gpx1 gene expression. Potential correlations between 4HNE-adducted protein levels in EVs, cardiac oxidative stress, antioxidant gene expression, and cardiac function were determined. DOXO-treated rats showed more serum EV 4HNE-adducted protein than NSS-treated rats at day 9 and later endpoints, whereas NT-proBNP levels were not different between groups. Moreover, on day 9, surviving rats' EVs had higher levels of 4HNE-adducted protein, and these correlated positively with concentrations of heart tissue 4HNE adduction and copy numbers of Cat and Gpx1, while at endpoint correlated negatively with cardiac functions. Therefore, 4HNE-adducted protein in serum EVs could be an early, minimally invasive biomarker of the oxidative response and cardiac function in DOXO-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, is characterized by intracellular accumulation of iron and reactive oxygen species-induced lipid peroxidation. Animal experiments have shown the important roles of ferroptosis in ischemic stroke, but the evidence in human stroke is insufficient. This prospective study evaluated the associations between plasma ferroptosis biomarkers at hyperacute stage and long-term outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The plasma samples were collected immediately before and after EVT (T1 and T2) and at 24 h (T3) for the 126 stroke patients and once for the 50 stroke-free control subjects. Compared with controls, stroke patients had higher 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) levels at T1 and T2 while lower homocysteine and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) levels at T3. In stroke patients, higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores at admission were correlated with higher 4-HNE and lower sTfR levels. Lower Alberta Stroke Program Early CT (ASPECT) scores and larger infarct core volumes on CT perfusion before EVT were correlated with higher 4-HNE and homocysteine levels. After adjusting for significant parameters, homocysteine levels at T2 were significantly associated with poor functional outcome and mortality at 3 months. In the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) models, adding homocysteine levels at T2 and hemoglobin levels to the reference model for predicting poor functional outcome significantly increased the area under the ROC curve. In summary, this study provides evidence that ferroptosis is associated with stroke severity and outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing EVT.

Abstract
The excess microvascular endothelial permeability is a hallmark of acute inflammatory diseases. Maintenance of microvascular integrity is critical to preventing leakage of vascular components into the surrounding tissues. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is an active lysophospholipid that enhances the endothelial cell (EC) barrier via activation of its receptor S1PR1. Here, we delineate the effect of non-lethal doses of RSL3, an inhibitor of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), on EC barrier function. Low doses of RSL3 (50-100 nM) attenuated S1P-induced human lung microvascular barrier enhancement and the phosphorylation of AKT. To investigate the molecular mechanisms by which RSL3 attenuates S1P's effect, we examined the S1PR1 levels. RSL3 treatment reduced S1PR1 levels in 1 h, whereas the effect was attenuated by the proteasome and lysosome inhibitors as well as a lipid raft inhibitor. Immunofluorescence staining showed that RSL3 induced S1PR1 internalization from the plasma membrane into the cytoplasm. Furthermore, we found that RSL3 (100 and 200 nM) increased EC barrier permeability and cytoskeletal rearrangement without altering cell viability. Taken together, our data delineates that non-lethal doses of RSL3 impair EC barrier function via two mechanisms. RSL3 attenuates S1P1-induced EC barrier enhancement and disrupts EC barrier integrity through the generation of 4-hydroxynonena (4HNE). All these effects are independent of ferroptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Human amylin is a 37 amino-acid pancreatic peptide that forms neuro-toxic aggregates that deposit in the endothelium of brain capillaries of patients with diabetes, potentially contributing to cerebral small vessel ischemic injury. Pathogenic amylin also deposits in the capillary endothelium in other organs, including the skin. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that skin capillary amylin deposition correlates with cerebral small vessel amylin deposition, potentially providing a clinically useful marker of cerebral amylin deposition. METHODS Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed for human amylin and collagen IV in brain and skin sections of rats (age 15-16 months) with pancreatic overexpression of amyloidogenic human amylin polypeptide (HIP rats), and control rats (Wild type; WT; rats that express non-amyloidogenic rat amylin) using antibodies binding amylin (n = 5 male and 5 female rats for each group) and antibodies binding Hypoxia inducing factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α (n = 3 for each group). The reactive amylin-aldehyde 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) adduct was measured in skin homogenates. (n = 4 for each group) RESULTS: Brain capillaries isolated from HIP rats had higher amylin content compared to WT rats using Western blot with anti-amylin antibody (p = 0.0010). The HIF-1α and HIF-2α immunoreactivity signals in skin from HIP and WT rats were similar (p = 0.2 for HIF-1 α, and p = 0.75 for HIF-2α). Amylin-4HNE adduct formation was higher in HIP rats compared to WT rats (p = 0.0014). There was phenotypic similarity between brain and skin capillary amylin based on co-staining for human amylin and collagen IV in both HIP and WT rats. CONCLUSION Skin and brain capillary amylin deposition are similar providing evidence that a skin biopsy might be providing a potential biomarker for diabetes-associated intracranial vasculopathy.

Abstract
The increased rate of twinning has pointed out newer challenges in clinical practices related to gestational complications, intrauterine growth restriction, perinatal mortality, and comorbidities. As a twin pregnancy progresses, the increased demand for oxygen supply can easily disrupt the redox homeostasis balance and further impose a greater challenge for the developing fetuses. A substantial birth-weight difference acts as an indicator of a deficit in oxygenation or blood flow to one of the fetuses, which might be related to a low bioavailable nitric oxide level. Therefore, in this study, we focused on networks involved in the adjustment of oxygen supply, like the activation of inducible and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) along with free radical and lipid peroxide formation in mature twin pairs with high birth-weight differences. The selected parameters were followed by immunofluorescence staining, fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis, and biochemical measurements in the umbilical cord vessels and fetal red blood cells. Based on our data set, it is clear that the lower-weight siblings are markedly exposed to persistent intrauterine hypoxic conditions, which are connected to a decreased level in NOS3 activation. Furthermore, the increased level of peroxynitrite aggravates lipid peroxidation and induces morphological and functional damage and loss in redox homeostasis.

Abeer MI, Abdulhasan A, Haguar Z, Narayanaswami V. Isoform-specific modification of apolipoprotein E by 4-hydroxynonenal: protective role of apolipoprotein E3 against oxidative species. FEBS J 2023; 290:3006-3025. [PMID: 36661393 PMCID: PMC11296219 DOI: 10.1111/febs.16729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
High levels of 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), arising from lipid peroxidation, and HNE-modified proteins have been identified in postmortem brains of ageing and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. The goal of this study is to understand the effect of HNE modification on the structure and function of recombinant apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) and apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4), which play a critical role in brain cholesterol homeostasis. The two isoforms differ in a single amino acid at position 112: Cys in apoE3 and Arg in apoE4. Immunoblot with HNE-specific antibody indicates HNE modification of apoE3 and apoE4 with a major band at ~ 36 kDa, while LC-MS/MS revealed Michael addition at His140 (60-70% abundance) and His299 (3-5% abundance) in apoE3 and apoE4, and Cys112 adduct in apoE3 (75% abundance). Circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed no major differences in the overall secondary structure or helical content between unmodified and HNE-modified apoE. HNE modification did not affect their ability to promote cholesterol efflux from J774.1 macrophages. However, it led to a 3-fold decrease in their ability to bind lipids and 25-50% decrease in the ability of cerebral cortex endothelial cells to uptake lipoproteins bearing HNE-modified HNE-apoE3 or HNE-apoE4 as noted by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Taken together, the data indicate that HNE modification impairs lipid binding and cellular uptake of both isoforms, and that apoE3, bearing a Cys, offers a protective role by sequestering lipid peroxidation products that would otherwise cause indiscriminate damage to biomolecules. ApoE4, lacking Cys, is unable to protect against oxidative damage that is commensurate with ageing.

Abstract
Disulfiram (DSF) is a thiocarbamate based drug that has been approved for treating alcoholism for over 60 years. Preclinical studies have shown that DSF has anticancer efficacy, and its supplementation with copper (CuII) significantly potentiates the efficacy of DSF. However, the results of clinical trials have not yielded promising results. The elucidation of the anticancer mechanisms of DSF/Cu (II) will be beneficial in repurposing DSF as a new treatment for certain types of cancer. DSF's anticancer mechanism is primarily due to its generating reactive oxygen species, inhibiting aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity inhibition, and decreasing the levels of transcriptional proteins. DSF also shows inhibitory effects in cancer cell proliferation, the self-renewal of cancer stem cells (CSCs), angiogenesis, drug resistance, and suppresses cancer cell metastasis. This review also discusses current drug delivery strategies for DSF alone diethyldithocarbamate (DDC), Cu (II) and DSF/Cu (II), and the efficacious component Diethyldithiocarbamate-copper complex (CuET).

Abstract
Severe heat stress can cause human and animal heart failure and sudden death, which is an important issue of public health worldwide. Our previous studies in animals showed that myocardial cells injury was critical in the above process, and Hsp90 induction has a definite anti-myocardial injury effect, especially through aspirin (ASA). But the mechanism has not been fully clarified. In this study, an in vitro heat stress model of chicken primary myocardial cells (CPMCs) most sensitive to heat stress was used to explore the cell injuries and corresponding molecular resistance mechanism. We found that heat stress resulted in serious oxidation stress and calcium overload in mitochondria, which destroyed the mitochondrial structure and function and then triggered the cell death mechanism of CPMCs. Hsp90 was proven to be a central regulator for resisting heat-stress injury in CPMCs mitochondria using its inhibitor and inducer (geldanamycin and ASA), respectively. The mechanism involved that Hsp90 could activate Akt and PKM2 signals to promote Bcl-2 translocation into mitochondria and its phosphorylation, thereby preventing ROS production and subsequent cell apoptosis. In addition, Hsp90 inhibited mitochondrial calcium overload to overcome MPTP opening and MMP suppression through the inhibitory effect of Raf-1-ERK activation on the CREB-IP3R pathway. This study is the first to reveal a pivotal reason for heat-stressed damage in chicken myocardial cells at subcellular level and identify an effective regulator, Hsp90, and its protective mechanisms responsible for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis.

Abstract
Ozone, an allotrope of oxygen, is enjoying an increasing interest in the setting and management of the medical adjunct treatment, which is called, maybe too simplistically, "ozone therapy". Ozone is not a medicine, so the word therapy does not properly fit this gaseous molecule. Like many natural compounds, for example plant flavonoids, even ozone interacts with aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhRs) and, at low doses, it works according to the paradoxical mechanism of hormesis, involving mitochondria (mitohormesis). Ozone, in the hormetic range, exerts cell protective functions via the Nrf2-mediated activation of the anti-oxidant system, then leading to anti-inflammatory effects, also via the triggering of low doses of 4-HNE. Moreover, its interaction with plasma and lipids forms reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipoperoxides (LPOs), generally called ozonides, which are enabled to rule the major molecular actions of ozone in the cell. Ozone behaves as a bioregulator, by activating a wide population of reactive intermediates, which usually target mitochondria and their turnover/biogenesis, often leading to a pleiotropic spectrum of actions and behaving as a tuner of the fundamental mechanisms of survival in the cell. In this sense, ozone can be considered a novelty in the medical sciences and in the clinical approach to pharmacology and medical therapy, due to its ability to target complex regulatory systems and not simple receptors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exosomes, which are nanovesicles secreted by almost all the cells, mediate intercellular communication and are involved in various physiological and pathological processes. We aimed to investigate the effects of graphene oxide (GO) on the biogenesis and release of exosomes in human ovarian cancer (SKOV3) cells. METHODS Exosomes were isolated using ultracentrifugation and ExoQuick and characterized by various analytical techniques. The expression levels of exosome markers were analyzed via quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS Graphene oxide (10-50 μg/mL), cisplatin (2-10 μg/mL), and C6-ceramide (5-25 μM) inhibited the cell viability, proliferation, and cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. We observed that graphene oxide (GO), cisplatin (CIS), and C6-Ceramide (C6-Cer) stimulated acetylcholine esterase and neutral sphingomyelinase activity, total exosome protein concentration, and exosome counts associated with increased level of apoptosis, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. In contrast, GW4869 treatment inhibits biogenesis and release of exosomes. We observed that the human ovarian cancer cells secreted exosomes with typical cup-shaped morphology and surface protein biomarkers. The expression levels of TSG101, CD9, CD63, and CD81 were significantly higher in GO-treated cells than in control cells. Further, cytokine and chemokine levels were significantly higher in exosomes isolated from GO-treated SKOV3 cells than in those isolated from control cells. SKOV3 cells pre-treated with N-acetylcysteine or GW4869 displayed a significant reduction in GO-induced exosome biogenesis and release. Furthermore, endocytic inhibitors decrease exosome biogenesis and release by impairing endocytic pathways. CONCLUSION This study identifies GO as a potential tool for targeting the exosome pathway and stimulating exosome biogenesis and release. We believe that the knowledge acquired in this study can be potentially extended to other exosome-dominated pathologies and model systems. Furthermore, these nanoparticles can provide a promising means to enhance exosome production in SKOV3 cells.

4-Hydroxynonenal Modulates Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability In Vitro through Changes in Lipid Composition and Oxidative Status of Endothelial Cells and Astrocytes. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214373.

Abstract
Blood brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic interface responsible for proper functioning of brain, but also a major obstacle for effective treatment of neurological diseases. Increased levels of free radicals, in high ferrous and high lipid content surrounding, induce lipid peroxidation, leading to production of 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE). HNE modifies all key proteins responsible for proper brain functioning thus playing a major role in the onset of neurological diseases. To investigate HNE effects on BBB permeability, we developed two in vitro BBB models-'physiological' and 'pathological'. The latter mimicked HNE modified extracellular matrix under oxidative stress conditions in brain pathologies. We showed that exogenous HNE induce activation of antioxidative defense systems by increasing catalase activity and glutathione content as well as reducing lipid peroxide levels in endothelial cells and astrocytes of 'physiological' model. While in 'pathological' model, exogenous HNE further increased lipid peroxidation levels of endothelial cells and astrocytes, followed by increase in Nrf2 and glutathione levels in endothelial cells. At lipid composition level, HNE caused increase in ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) level in endothelial cells, followed by decrease in ω3 PUFA level and increase in monounsaturated fatty acid level in astrocytes. Using these models, we showed for the first time that HNE in 'pathological' model can reduce BBB permeability.

Abstract
Background4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), an α, β-unsaturated hydroxyalkenal, has been found to be associated with aspirin resistance, which is a risk factor for recurrent cerebral infarction. However, its effect on recurrent cerebral infarction is less defined. We designed this study to investigate the association between 4-HNE and increased risk of recurrent cerebral infarction.MethodsWe recruited 189 patients with primary cerebral infarction from 2017 to 2019. According to the recurrence of cerebral infarction during the 3-year follow-up period, they were divided into two groups, namely, the non-recurrence group (n = 93) and the recurrence group (n = 96). All patients were analyzed to explore the risk factors for the recurrence of primary cerebral infarction and the predictive value of serum 4-HNE for the recurrence of cerebral infarction.ResultsThe levels of serum 4-HNE in patients of the recurrence group were significantly higher than that in patients of the non-recurrence group. There was a positive correlation between serum 4-HNE levels and the serum levels of triglyceride (r = 0.448, p = 0.008) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; r = 0.442, p = 0.002) in primary cerebral infarction patients. Cox proportional hazards modeling showed that demographic and certain clinical parameters, such as age, serum triglyceride levels, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, and serum 4-HNE levels, were independent factors for the recurrence in patients. The results of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) value of serum 4-HNE in patients with cerebral infarction recurrence was 0.703, and when the cutoff value of serum 4-HNE was set at 42.34 ng/ml, the sensitivity and specificity values of serum 4-HNE in predicting recurrent cerebral infarction were 79.20 and 52.70%, respectively.ConclusionSerum 4-HNE is an independent risk factor for the recurrence of patients with primary cerebral infarction, and it may become a new intervention way to prevent the recurrence of patients with cerebral infarction.

Abstract
The endothelium is a single layer of epithelium covering the surface of the vascular system, and it represents a physical barrier between the blood and vessel wall that plays an important role in maintaining intravascular homeostasis. However, endothelial dysfunction or endothelial cell death can cause vascular barrier disruption, vasoconstriction and diastolic dysfunction, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, inflammatory responses, and thrombosis, which are closely associated with the progression of several diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, ischemic stroke, acute lung injury, acute kidney injury, diabetic retinopathy, and Alzheimer's disease. Oxidative stress caused by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an important mechanism underlying endothelial cell death. Growing evidence suggests that ROS can trigger endothelial cell death in various ways, including pyroptosis, parthanatos, and ferroptosis. Therefore, this review will systematically illustrate the source of ROS in endothelial cells (ECs); reveal the molecular mechanism by which ROS trigger pyroptosis, parthanatos, and ferroptosis in ECs; and provide new ideas for the research and treatment of endothelial dysfunction-related diseases.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation, including its prominent byproducts such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), has long been linked with worsened metabolic health in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In fact, patients with T2D already display increased levels of lipids in circulation, including low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglycerides, which are easily attacked by reactive oxygen molecules to give rise to lipid peroxidation. This process severely depletes intracellular antioxidants to cause excess generation of oxidative stress. This consequence mainly drives poor glycemic control and metabolic complications that are implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease. The current review explores the pathological relevance of elevated lipid peroxidation products in T2D, especially highlighting their potential role as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in disease severity. In addition, we briefly explain the implication of some prominent antioxidant enzymes/factors involved in the blockade of lipid peroxidation, including termination reactions that involve the effect of antioxidants, such as catalase, coenzyme Q10, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase, as well as vitamins C and E.

Abstract
Accelerated placental senescence is associated with preeclampsia (PE) and other pregnancy complications. It is characterized by an accelerated decline in placental function due to the accumulation of senescence patterns such as telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative damages, increased expression of phosphorylated (serine-139) histone γ-H2AX, a sensitive marker of double-stranded DNA breaks, accumulation of cross-linked ubiquitinated proteins and sirtuin inhibition. Among the lipid oxidation products generated by the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, aldehydes such as acrolein, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, 4-oxo-2-nonenal, are present in the blood and placenta from PE-affected women and could contribute to PE pathogenesis and accelerated placental aging. In this review we summarize the current knowledge on premature placental senescence and the role of oxidative stress and lipid oxidation-derived aldehydes in this process, as well as their links with PE pathogenesis. The interest of developing (or not) new therapeutic strategies targeting lipid peroxidation is discussed, the objective being a better understanding of accelerated placental aging in PE pathophysiology, and the prevention of PE bad outcomes.

Abstract
Mitochondrial protein homeostasis in cardiomyocyte injury determines not only the normal operation of mitochondrial function but also the fate of mitochondria in cardiomyocytes. Studies of mitochondrial protein homeostasis have become an integral part of cardiovascular disease research. Modulation of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt), a protective factor for cardiomyocyte mitochondria, may in the future become an important treatment strategy for myocardial protection in cardiovascular disease. However, because of insufficient understanding of the UPRmt and inadequate elucidation of relevant mechanisms, few therapeutic drugs targeting the UPRmt have been developed. The UPRmt maintains a series of chaperone proteins and proteases and is activated when misfolded proteins accumulate in the mitochondria. Mitochondrial injury leads to metabolic dysfunction in cardiomyocytes. This paper reviews the relationship of the UPRmt and mitochondrial quality monitoring with cardiomyocyte protection. This review mainly introduces the regulatory mechanisms of the UPRmt elucidated in recent years and the relationship between the UPRmt and mitophagy, mitochondrial fusion/fission, mitochondrial biosynthesis, and mitochondrial energy metabolism homeostasis in order to generate new ideas for the study of the mitochondrial protein homeostasis mechanisms as well as to provide a reference for the targeted drug treatment of imbalances in mitochondrial protein homeostasis following cardiomyocyte injury.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a global health issue. Lipid peroxidation produces various by-products that associate with CAD, such as 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and malondialdehyde (MDA). The autoantibodies against HNE and MDA-modified peptides may be useful in the diagnosis of CAD. This study included 41 healthy controls (HCs) and 159 CAD patients with stenosis rates of <30%, 30−70%, and >70%. The plasma level of autoantibodies against four different unmodified and HNE-modified peptides were measured in this study, including CFAH1211−1230, HPT78−108, IGKC2−19, and THRB328−345. Furthermore, feature ranking, feature selection, and machine learning models have been utilized to exploit the diagnostic performance. Also, we combined autoantibodies against MDA and HNE-modified peptides to improve the models’ performance. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model received a sensitivity of 78.6% and a specificity of 90.4%. Our study demonstrated the combination of autoantibodies against oxidative modification may improve the model performance.

The Mito-Hormetic Mechanisms of Ozone in the Clearance of SARS-CoV2 and in the COVID-19 Therapy. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10092258. [PMID: 36140358 PMCID: PMC9496465 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10092258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
An increasing body of evidence in the literature is reporting the feasibility of using medical ozone as a possible alternative and adjuvant treatment for COVID-19 patients, significantly reducing hospitalization time, pro-inflammatory indicators, and coagulation markers and improving blood oxygenation parameters. In addition to the well-described ability of medical ozone in counteracting oxidative stress through the upregulation of the main anti-oxidant and scavenging enzymes, oxygen–ozone (O2–O3) therapy has also proved effective in reducing chronic inflammation and the occurrence of immune thrombosis, two key players involved in COVID-19 exacerbation and severity. As chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are also reported to be among the main drivers of the long sequelae of SARS-CoV2 infection, a rising number of studies is investigating the potential of O2–O3 therapy to reduce and/or prevent the wide range of post-COVID (or PASC)-related disorders. This narrative review aims to describe the molecular mechanisms through which medical ozone acts, to summarize the clinical evidence on the use of O2–O3 therapy as an alternative and adjuvant COVID-19 treatment, and to discuss the emerging potential of this approach in the context of PASC symptoms, thus offering new insights into effective and safe nonantiviral therapies for the fighting of this devastating pandemic.

Molecular Mechanism of Naringenin Against High-Glucose-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Proliferation and Migration Based on Network Pharmacology and Transcriptomic Analyses. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:862709. [PMID: 35754483 PMCID: PMC9219407 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.862709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Although the protective effects of naringenin (Nar) on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have been confirmed, whether it has anti-proliferation and anti-migration effects in high-glucose-induced VSMCs has remained unclear. This study aimed to clarify the potential targets and molecular mechanism of Nar when used to treat high-glucose-induced vasculopathy based on transcriptomics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vivo and in vitro assays. We found that Nar has visible anti-proliferation and anti-migration effects both in vitro (high-glucose-induced VSMC proliferation and migration model) and in vivo (type 1 diabetes mouse model). Based on the results of network pharmacology and molecular docking, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), the proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (Src) and the kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) are the core targets of Nar when used to treat diabetic angiopathies, according to the degree value and the docking score of the three core genes. Interestingly, not only the Biological Process (BP), Molecular Function (MF), and KEGG enrichment results from network pharmacology analysis but also transcriptomics showed that phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) is the most likely downstream pathway involved in the protective effects of Nar on VSMCs. Notably, according to the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the transcriptomic analysis, we found that cAMP-responsive element binding protein 5 (CREB5) is a downstream protein of the PI3K/Akt pathway that participates in VSMCs proliferation and migration. Furthermore, the results of molecular experiments in vitro were consistent with the bioinformatic analysis. Nar significantly inhibited the protein expression of the core targets (VEGFA, Src and KDR) and downregulated the PI3K/Akt/CREB5 pathway. Our results indicated that Nar exerted anti-proliferation and anti-migration effects on high-glucose-induced VSMCs through decreasing expression of the target protein VEGFA, and then downregulating the PI3K/Akt/CREB5 pathway, suggesting its potential for treating diabetic angiopathies.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of aging-related diseases by accelerating the lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the cell membrane, resulting in the production of aldehydes, such as malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) and other toxic substances. The compound 4-HNE forms adducts with DNA or proteins, disrupting many cell signaling pathways including the regulation of apoptosis signal transduction pathways. The binding of proteins to 4-HNE (4-HNE-protein) acts as an important marker of lipid peroxidation, and its increasing concentration in brain tissues and fluids because of aging, ultimately gives rise to some hallmark disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases), ophthalmic diseases (dry eye, macular degeneration), hearing loss, and cancer. This review aims to describe the physiological origin of 4-HNE, elucidate its toxicity in aging-related diseases, and discuss the detoxifying effect of aldehyde dehydrogenase and glutathione in 4-HNE-driven aging-related diseases.

Abstract
Background Hypercholesterolemia is an independent modifiable risk factor that accelerates the development of both non-alcoholic fatty liver and atherosclerosis. Coconut water contains a variety of phytochemicals that make it appealing for producing vinegar. Coconut vinegar is rapidly gaining popularity for health benefits in Southeast Asia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of daily supplementation of coconut vinegar on hepatic and vascular oxidative stress in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet (HCD). Methods Mature coconut water was fermented with coconut sap sugar using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Acetobacter aceti vat Europeans, respectively. Bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of coconut vinegar were examined in vitro. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups; the control group fed a standard diet (S), a group that received HCD (SC), a group that received HCD supplemented with coconut vinegar at a dose of 1 mL/kg/day (SCV), and a group that received HCD with atorvastatin at a dose of 30 mg/kg/day (SCA). After 8 weeks, serum metabolic profiles, fatty liver, hepatic, and vascular oxidative stress were determined. Results In in vitro studies, coconut vinegar was rich in phenolic compounds and organic acids. The antioxidant capacity of 30 μL of coconut vinegar was 181.55 ± 8.15 μM Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). In the HCD fed rats, daily supplementation of coconut vinegar reduced weight gain, serum triglycerides, and fasting blood sugar levels without renal or liver toxicity. In the liver, coconut vinegar reduced the accumulation of both hepatic cholesterol and hepatic triglyceride, and it also reduced hepatic 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) lipid peroxidation. In the aortic tissues, coconut vinegar increased nitric oxide bioavailability and reduced aortic 4-HNE lipid peroxidation. Conclusion Novel coconut vinegar is the source of antioxidants, and daily supplementation of coconut vinegar was found to attenuate dyslipidemia-induced hepatic and vascular oxidative stress by protective against cellular lipid peroxidation.

Ferroptosis in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells mediates white matter injury after hemorrhagic stroke. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:259.

Abstract
Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) differentiate to myelin-producing mature oligodendrocytes and enwrap growing or demyelinated axons during development and post central nervous diseases. Failure of remyelination owing to cell death or undifferentiation of OPCs contributes to severe neurologic deficits and motor dysfunction. However, how to prevent the cell death of OPCs is still poorly understood, especially in hemorrhagic diseases. In the current study, we injected autologous blood into the mouse lateral ventricular to study the hemorrhage-induced OPC cell death in vivo. The integrity of the myelin sheath of the corpus callosum was disrupted post intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) assessed by using magnetic resonance imaging, immunostaining, and transmission electron microscopy. Consistent with the severe demethylation, we observed massive cell death of oligodendrocyte lineages in the periventricular area. In addition, we found that ferroptosis is the major cell death form in Hemin-induced OPC death by using RNA-seq analysis, and the mechanism was glutathione peroxidase 4 activity reduction-resulted lipid peroxide accumulation. Furthermore, inhibition of ferroptosis rescued OPC cell death in vitro, and in vivo attenuated IVH-induced white matter injury and promoted recovery of neurological function. These data demonstrate that ferroptosis is an essential form of OPC cell death in hemorrhagic stroke, and rescuing ferroptotic OPCs could serve as a therapeutic target for stroke and related diseases.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel superfamily comprises more than 50 channels that play crucial roles in physiological processes. TRP channels are responsive to several exogenous and endogenous biomolecules, with aldehydes emerging as a TRP channel trigger contributing to a cellular cascade that can lead to disease pathophysiology. The body is not only exposed to exogenous aldehydes via tobacco products or alcoholic beverages, but also to endogenous aldehydes triggered by lipid peroxidation. In response to lipid peroxidation from inflammation or organ injury, polyunsaturated fatty acids undergo lipid peroxidation to aldehydes, such as 4-hydroxynonenal. Reactive aldehydes activate TRP channels via aldehyde-induced protein adducts, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory mediators driving the pathophysiology caused by cellular injury, including inflammatory pain and organ reperfusion injury. Recent studies have outlined how aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 protects against aldehyde toxicity through the clearance of toxic aldehydes, indicating that targeting the endogenous aldehyde metabolism may represent a novel treatment strategy. An addition approach can involve targeting specific TRP channel regions to limit the triggering of a cellular cascade induced by aldehydes. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of aldehydes, TRP channels, and their interactions, as well as their role in pathological conditions and the different therapeutical treatment options.

Abstract
Regular exercise has many health benefits, among which is a significant reduction of cardiovascular risk. Although many beneficial effects of exercise are well described, the exact mechanisms by which exercise confers cardiovascular benefits are yet to be fully understood. In the current study, we have used high resolution mass spectrometry to determine the proteomic responses of the heart to exercise training in mice. The impact of exercise-induced oxidative stress on modifications of cardiomyocyte proteins with lipid peroxidation biomarker 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) was examined as well. Fourteen male mice were randomized into the control (sedentary) group and the exercise group that was subjected to a swim exercise training program for 5 days a week for 5 months. Proteins were isolated from the left ventricular tissue, fractionated and digested for shotgun proteomics. Peptides were separated by nanoliquid chromatography and analyzed on an Orbitrap Fusion mass spectrometer using high-energy collision–induced dissociation and electron transfer dissociation fragmentation. We identified distinct ventricular protein signatures established in response to exercise training. Comparative proteomics identified 23 proteins that were upregulated and 37 proteins that were downregulated with exercise, in addition to 65 proteins that were identified only in ventricular tissue samples of exercised mice. Most of the proteins specific to exercised mice are involved in respiratory electron transport and/or implicated in glutathione conjugation. Additionally, 10 proteins were found to be modified with 4-HNE. This study provides new data on the effects of exercise on the cardiac proteome and contributes to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of exercise on the heart.

Abstract
The involvement of highly reactive oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS) in the genesis and progression of various cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmias, aortic dilatation, aortic dissection, left ventricular hypertrophy, coronary arterial disease and congestive heart failure, is well-established. It has also been suggested that ROS may play a role in aortic aneurysm formation in patients with Marfan's syndrome (MFS). This syndrome is a multisystem disorder with manifestations including cardiovascular, skeletal, pulmonary and ocular systems, however, aortic aneurysm and dissection are still the most life-threatening manifestations of MFS. In this review, we will concentrate on the impact of oxidative stress on aneurysm formation in patients with MFS as well as on possible beneficial effects of some agents with antioxidant properties. Mechanisms responsible for oxidative stress in the MFS model involve a decreased expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) as well as enhanced expression of NAD(P)H oxidase, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and xanthine oxidase. The results of studies have indicated that reactive oxygen species may be involved in smooth muscle cell phenotype switching and apoptosis as well as matrix metalloproteinase activation, resulting in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. The progression of the thoracic aortic aneurysm was suggested to be associated with markedly impaired aortic contractile function and decreased nitric oxide-mediated endothelial-dependent relaxation.

Abstract
Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) is a cerebrovascular disease of genetic origin affecting 0.5% of the population and characterized by abnormally enlarged and leaky capillaries that predispose to seizures, neurological deficits, and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). CCM occurs sporadically or is inherited as dominant condition with incomplete penetrance and highly variable expressivity. Three disease genes have been identified: KRIT1 (CCM1), CCM2 and CCM3. Previous results demonstrated that loss-of-function mutations of CCM genes cause pleiotropic effects, including defective autophagy, altered reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, and enhanced sensitivity to oxidative stress and inflammatory events, suggesting a novel unifying pathogenetic mechanism, and raising the possibility that CCM disease onset and severity are influenced by the presence of susceptibility and modifier genes. Consistently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in large and homogeneous cohorts of patients sharing the familial form of CCM disease and identical mutations in CCM genes have led to the discovery of distinct genetic modifiers of major disease severity phenotypes, such as development of numerous and large CCM lesions, and susceptibility to ICH. This review deals with the identification of genetic modifiers with a significant impact on inter-individual variability in CCM disease onset and severity, including highly polymorphic genes involved in oxidative stress, inflammatory and immune responses, such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), and Toll-like receptors (TLR), pointing to their emerging prognostic value, and opening up new perspectives for risk stratification and personalized medicine strategies.

[PMID: 34197897 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2021.105118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
There is a lot of evidence showing that lipid peroxidation plays very important role in development of various diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumors. Lipid peroxidation is achieved by two main pathways, by enzymatic or by non-enzymatic oxidation, respectively. In this paper, we focus on non-enzymatic, self-catalyzed chain reaction of poly-unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) peroxidation generating reactive aldehydes, notably 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), which acts as second messenger of free radicals and as growth regulating factor. It might originate from astrocytes as well as from blood vessels, even within the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is in case of brain tumors transformed into the blood-brain-tumor barrier (BBTB). The functionality of the BBB is strongly affected by 4-HNE because it forms relatively stable protein adducts thus allowing the persistence and the spread of lipid peroxidation, as revealed by immunohistochemical findings. Because 4-HNE can act as a regulator of vital functions of normal and of malignant cells acting in the cell type- and concentration-dependent manners, the bioactivities of this product of lipid peroxidation be should further studied to reveal if it acts as a co-factor of carcinogenesis or as natural factor of defense against primary brain tumors and metastatic cancer.

Liu GY, Zhang W, Chen XC, Wu WJ, Wan SQ. Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance of Keap1 mRNA Expression for Lung Cancer Based on Microarray and Clinical Information from Oncomine Database. Curr Med Sci 2021; 41:597-609. [PMID: 34169426 DOI: 10.1007/s11596-021-2378-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2019] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
We performed a bioinformatics analysis with validation by multiple databases, aiming to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) mRNA for lung cancer, and to explore possible mechanisms. Diagnostic performance of Keap1 mRNA was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Prognostic implication of Keap1 mRNA was estimated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Co-expressed genes with both Keap1 and Nfe2L2 were identified by LinkedOmics. Mechanisms of Keap1-Nfe2L2-co-expressed genes underlying the pathogenesis of lung cancer were explored by function enrichment and pathway analysis. The ROC curve analysis determined a good diagnostic performance of Keap1 mRNA for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.833, sensitivity of 72.7%, and specificity of 90.6% (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression recognized high Keap1 mRNA to be an independent risk factor of mortality for overall lung cancer [hazard ratio (HR): 11.034, P=0.044], but an independent antagonistic factor for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) (HR: 0.404, P<0.001). Validation by UALCAN and GEPIA supported Oncomine findings regarding the diagnostic value of Keap1 mRNA for LUSC, but denied its prognostic value. After screening, we identified 17 co-expressed genes with both Keap1 and Nfe2L2 for LUAD, and 22 for LUSC, mainly enriched in signaling pathway of oxidative stress-induced gene expression via Nrf2. In conclusion, Keap1 mRNA has a good diagnostic performance, but controversial prognostic efficacy for LUSC. The pathogenesis of lung cancer is associated with Keap1-Nfe2L2-co-expressed genes by signaling pathway of oxidative stress-induced gene expression via Nrf2.

Abstract
An increasing amount of reports in the literature is showing that medical ozone (O3) is used, with encouraging results, in treating COVID-19 patients, optimizing pain and symptoms relief, respiratory parameters, inflammatory and coagulation markers and the overall health status, so reducing significantly how much time patients underwent hospitalization and intensive care. To date, aside from mechanisms taking into account the ability of O3 to activate a rapid oxidative stress response, by up-regulating antioxidant and scavenging enzymes, no sound hypothesis was addressed to attempt a synopsis of how O3 should act on COVID-19. The knowledge on how O3 works on inflammation and thrombosis mechanisms is of the utmost importance to make physicians endowed with new guns against SARS-CoV2 pandemic. This review tries to address this issue, so to expand the debate in the scientific community.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease ranks the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Prenyldiphosphate synthase subunits collectively participate in the formation and development of atherosclerosis (AS). This study aimed to investigate the role of PDSS2 in AS and its underlying mechanisms. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) were treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein to establish the AS model. The gene expression levels were determined by qRT-PCR, Western blot, and ELISA. CCK-8, colony formation was applied to determine the proliferation of HCAECs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and luciferase assay were applied to verify the interaction between PDSS2 and Nrf2. The results showed that the serum levels of PDSS2 and Nrf2 were decreased in patients with AS. Overexpression of PDSS2 suppressed the release of reactive oxygen species, iron content and ferroptosis of HCAECs, and promoted the proliferation of HCAECs. Moreover, PDSS2 activated antioxidant Nrf2. PDSS2 interacted with Nrf2 to alleviate the ferroptosis of HCAECs. However, knockdown of Nrf2 alleviated the effects of PDSS2 on the proliferation and ferroptosis of HCAECs. In vivo assays, overexpression of PDSS2 and Nrf2 suppressed the progression of AS. In conclusion, overexpression of PDSS2 suppressed the ferroptosis of HCAECs by promoting the activation of Nrf2 pathways. Thence PDSS2 may play a cardio-protective role in AS.

Palladium Nanoparticle-Induced Oxidative Stress, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Apoptosis, and Immunomodulation Enhance the Biogenesis and Release of Exosome in Human Leukemia Monocytic Cells (THP-1). Int J Nanomedicine 2021; 16:2849-2877. [PMID: 33883895 PMCID: PMC8055296 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s305269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Exosomes are endosome-derived nano-sized vesicles that have emerged as important mediators of intercellular communication and play significant roles in various diseases. However, their applications are rigorously restricted by the limited secretion competence of cells. Therefore, strategies to enhance the production and functions of exosomes are warranted. Studies have shown that nanomaterials can significantly enhance the effects of cells and exosomes in intercellular communication; however, how palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) enhance exosome release in human leukemia monocytic cells (THP-1) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to address the effect of PdNPs on exosome biogenesis and release in THP-1 cells. Methods Exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation and ExoQuickTM and characterized by dynamic light scattering, nanoparticle tracking analysis system, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, EXOCETTM assay, and fluorescence polarization. The expression levels of exosome markers were analyzed via quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results PdNP treatment enhanced the biogenesis and release of exosomes by inducing oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, apoptosis, and immunomodulation. The exosomes were spherical in shape and had an average diameter of 50–80 nm. Exosome production was confirmed via total protein concentration, exosome counts, acetylcholinesterase activity, and neutral sphingomyelinase activity. The expression levels of TSG101, CD9, CD63, and CD81 were significantly higher in PdNP-treated cells than in control cells. Further, cytokine and chemokine levels were significantly higher in exosomes isolated from PdNP-treated THP-1 cells than in those isolated from control cells. THP-1 cells pre-treated with N-acetylcysteine or GW4869 showed significant decreases in PdNP-induced exosome biogenesis and release. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first study showing that PdNPs stimulate exosome biogenesis and release and simultaneously increase the levels of cytokines and chemokines by modulating various physiological processes. Our findings suggest a reasonable approach to improve the production of exosomes for various therapeutic applications.

The Unity of Redox and Structural Remodeling of Brown Adipose Tissue in Hypothyroidism. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10040591.

Abstract
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is important for maintaining whole-body metabolic and energy homeostasis. However, the effects of hypothyroidism, one of the most common diseases worldwide, which increases the risk of several metabolic disorders, on BAT redox and metabolic homeostasis remain mostly unknown. We aimed to investigate the dynamics of protein expression, enzyme activity, and localization of antioxidant defense (AD) enzymes in rat interscapular BAT upon induction of hypothyroidism by antithyroid drug methimazole for 7, 15, and 21 days. Our results showed an increased protein expression of CuZn- and Mn-superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutamyl-cysteine ligase, thioredoxin, total glutathione content, and activity of catalase and thioredoxin reductase in hypothyroid rats, compared to euthyroid control. Concomitant with the increase in AD, newly established nuclear, mitochondrial, and peroxisomal localization of AD enzymes was found. Hypothyroidism also potentiated associations between mitochondria, peroxisomes, and lipid bodies, creating specific structural-functional units. Moreover, hypothyroidism induced protein expression and nuclear translocation of a master regulator of redox-metabolic homeostasis, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and an increased amount of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) protein adducts. The results indicate that spatiotemporal overlap in the remodeling of AD is orchestrated by Nrf2, implicating the role of 4-HNE in this process and suggesting the potential mechanism of redox-structural remodeling during BAT adaptation in hypothyroidism.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic proportion worldwide. One of the diabetic complications is cardiomyopathy, characterized by early left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, followed by development of systolic dysfunction and ventricular dilation at a late stage. The pathogenesis is multifactorial, and there is no effective treatment yet. In recent years, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), a toxic aldehyde generated from lipid peroxidation, is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Its high bioreactivity toward proteins results in cellular damage. Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is the major enzyme that detoxifies 4-HNE. The development of small-molecule ALDH2 activator provides an opportunity for treating diabetic cardiomyopathy. This study found that AD-9308, a water-soluble andhighly selective ALDH2 activator, can improve LV diastolic and systolic functions, and wall remodeling in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. AD-9308 treatment dose-dependently lowered serum 4-HNE levels and 4-HNE protein adducts in cardiac tissue from diabetic mice, accompanied with ameliorated myocardial fibrosis, inflammation, and apoptosis. Improvements of mitochondrial functions, sarco/endoplasmic reticulumcalcium handling and autophagy regulation were also observed in diabetic mice with AD-9308 treatment. In conclusion, ADLH2 activation effectively ameliorated diabetic cardiomyopathy, which may be mediated through detoxification of 4-HNE. Our findings highlighted the therapeutic potential of ALDH2 activation for treating diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
SCOPE A main risk factor of atherosclerosis is a Western diet (WD) rich in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) sensitive to oxidation. Their oxidation can be initiated by heme iron of red meat leading to the formation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), a cytotoxic aldehyde. An increased 4-HNE production is implicated in endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. By contrast, a diet rich in proanthocyanidins reduces oxidative stress and arterial diseases. This study evaluates the effects of a WD on vascular integrity in ApolipoproteinE (ApoE-/- ) mice and the protective capacity of apple extract and puree rich in antioxidant proanthocyanidins. METHODS AND RESULTS ApoE-/- mice are fed during 12 weeks with a WD with or without n-6 PUFAs. Moreover, two WD + n-6 PUFAs groups are supplemented with apple puree or phenolic extract. An increase in digestive 4-HNE production associated with a rise in plasmatic 4-HNE and oxidized LDL concentrations is reported. Oxidizable n-6 PUFAs consumption is associated with a worsened endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Interestingly, supplementations with apple polyphenol extract or puree prevented these impairments while reducing oxidative stress. CONCLUSION n-6 lipid oxidation during digestion may be a key factor of vascular impairments. Nevertheless, an antioxidant strategy can limit 4-HNE formation during digestion and thus durably protect vascular function.

A role for 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal in premature placental senescence in preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. Free Radic Biol Med 2021; 164:303-314.

Abstract
Premature placental senescence is a hallmark of pregnancy-related disorders such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia (PE), two major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation are involved in the pathogenesis of PE and IUGR, and may play a role in placental aging. In this study, we investigated whether 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), a lipid peroxidation-derived aldehyde present in preeclamptic placentas, may contribute to premature senescence in placenta-related complications. Placentas from PE-affected women, exhibited several senescence patterns, such as an increased expression of phosphorylated (serine-139) histone γH2AX, a sensitive marker of double-stranded DNA breaks, the presence of lipofuscin granules, and an accumulation of high molecular weight cross-linked and ubiquitinated proteins. PE placentas showed an accumulation of acetylated proteins consistent with the presence of HNE-adducts on sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). Likewise, oxidative stress and senescence markers together with SIRT1 modification by HNE, were observed in murine placentas from mice treated with lipopolysaccharide during gestation and used as models of IUGR. The addition of HNE and ONE (4-oxo-2-nonenal), to cultured HTR-8/SVneo human trophoblasts activated the senescence-associated- β-galactosidase, and generated an accumulation of acetylated proteins, consistent with a modification of SIRT1 by HNE. Altogether, these data emphasize the role of HNE and lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes in premature placental senescence in PE and IUGR, and more generally in pathological pregnancies.

Geniposide Improves Diabetic Nephropathy by Enhancing ULK1-Mediated Autophagy and Reducing Oxidative Stress through AMPK Activation. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22041651.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common pathological feature in patients with diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Although several pharmacological agents have been developed, the management of DN remains challenging. Geniposide, a natural compound has been reported for anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects; however, its role in DN remains poorly understood. This study investigated the protective effects of geniposide on DN and its underlying mechanisms. We used a C57BL/6 mouse model of DN in combination with a high-fat diet and streptozotocin after unilateral nephrectomy and treated with geniposide by oral gavage for 5 weeks. Geniposide effectively improves DN-induced renal structural and functional abnormalities by reducing albuminuria, podocyte loss, glomerular and tubular injury, renal inflammation and interstitial fibrosis. These changes induced by geniposide were associated with an increase of AMPK activity to enhance ULK1-mediated autophagy response and a decrease of AKT activity to block oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis in diabetic kidney. In addition, geniposide increased the activities of PKA and GSK3β, possibly modulating AMPK and AKT pathways, efficiently improving renal dysfunction and ameliorating the progression of DN. Conclusively, geniposide enhances ULK1-mediated autophagy and reduces oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis, suggesting geniposide as a promising treatment for DN.

Role of oxidative stress in the dysfunction of the placental endothelial nitric oxide synthase in preeclampsia. Redox Biol 2021; 40:101861.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a multifactorial pregnancy disease, characterized by new-onset gestational hypertension with (or without) proteinuria or end-organ failure, exclusively observed in humans. It is a leading cause of maternal morbidity affecting 3–7% of pregnant women worldwide. PE pathophysiology could result from abnormal placentation due to a defective trophoblastic invasion and an impaired remodeling of uterine spiral arteries, leading to a poor adaptation of utero-placental circulation. This would be associated with hypoxia/reoxygenation phenomena, oxygen gradient fluctuations, altered antioxidant capacity, oxidative stress, and reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. This results in part from the reaction of NO with the radical anion superoxide (O2•−), which produces peroxynitrite ONOO-, a powerful pro-oxidant and inflammatory agent. Another mechanism is the progressive inhibition of the placental endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) by oxidative stress, which results in eNOS uncoupling via several events such as a depletion of the eNOS substrate L-arginine due to increased arginase activity, an oxidation of the eNOS cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), or eNOS post-translational modifications (for instance by S-glutathionylation). The uncoupling of eNOS triggers a switch of its activity from a NO-producing enzyme to a NADPH oxidase-like system generating O2•−, thereby potentiating ROS production and oxidative stress. Moreover, in PE placentas, eNOS could be post-translationally modified by lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes such as 4-oxononenal (ONE) a highly bioreactive agent, able to inhibit eNOS activity and NO production. This review summarizes the dysfunction of placental eNOS evoked by oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation products, and the potential consequences on PE pathogenesis. Physiological ROS production is enhanced during pregnancy. eNOS is one of the main target of oxidative stress in PE placenta. eNOS is S-glutathionylated in PE placentas. eNOS is modified by lipid oxidation products in PE placentas.

Testa G, Staurenghi E, Giannelli S, Sottero B, Gargiulo S, Poli G, Gamba P, Leonarduzzi G. Up-regulation of PCSK6 by lipid oxidation products: A possible role in atherosclerosis. Biochimie 2021; 181:191-203. [PMID: 33359561 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2020.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 12/11/2020] [Accepted: 12/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a degenerative disease characterized by lesions that develop in the wall of large- and medium-sized arteries due to the accumulation of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in the intima. A growing bulk of evidence suggests that cholesterol oxidation products, known as oxysterols, and the aldehyde 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), the major pro-atherogenic components of oxidized LDLs, significantly contribute to atherosclerotic plaque progression and destabilization, with eventual plaque rupture. The involvement of certain members of the protein convertase subtilisin/kexin proteases (PCSKs) in atherosclerosis has been recently hypothesized. Among them, PCSK6 has been associated with plaque instability, mainly thanks to its ability to stimulate the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and to enhance inflammation. In U937 promonocytic cells and in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, an oxysterol mixture and HNE were able to up-regulate the level and activity of PCSK6, resulting in MMP-9 activation as demonstrated by PCSK6 silencing. Inflammation, enhanced by these lipid oxidation products, plays a key role in the up-regulation of PCSK6 activity as demonstrated by cell pretreatment with NS-398, with epigallocatechin gallate or with acetylsalicylic acid, all with anti-inflammatory effects. For the first time, we demonstrated that both oxysterols and HNE, which substantially accumulate in the atherosclerotic plaque, up-regulate the activity of PCSK6. Of note, we also suggest a potential association between PCSK6 activity and MMP-9 activation, pointing out that PCSK6 could contribute to atherosclerotic plaque development.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an important gaseous messenger, is known to have neuroprotective effects in many neurological disorders. This study examined the neuroprotective effects and the associated mechanisms of H2S in the model Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with spinal cord injury (SCI). We found that H2S showed neuroprotective effects in SCI model rats, improved the symptoms of neurological impairment, reduced the secretion of inflammatory factors, nerve cell apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and oxidative stresses. Moreover, these effects were produced by activation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein. Our results suggest that H2S supplementation could be a potential therapeutic strategy to promote SCI recovery.

Abstract
Significance: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ACVDs) continue to be a primary cause of mortality worldwide in adults aged 35-70 years, occurring more often in countries with lower economic development, and they constitute an ever-growing global burden that has a considerable socioeconomic impact on society. The ACVDs encompass diverse pathologies such as coronary artery disease and heart failure (HF), among others. Recent Advances: It is known that oxidative stress plays a relevant role in ACVDs and some of its effects are mediated by lipid oxidation. In particular, lipid peroxidation (LPO) is a process under which oxidants such as reactive oxygen species attack unsaturated lipids, generating a wide array of oxidation products. These molecules can interact with circulating lipoproteins, to diffuse inside the cell and even to cross biological membranes, modifying target nucleophilic sites within biomolecules such as DNA, lipids, and proteins, and resulting in a plethora of biological effects. Critical Issues: This review summarizes the evidence of the effect of LPO in the development and progression of atherosclerosis-based diseases, HF, and other cardiovascular diseases, highlighting the role of protein adduct formation. Moreover, potential therapeutic strategies targeted at lipoxidation in ACVDs are also discussed. Future Directions: The identification of valid biomarkers for the detection of lipoxidation products and adducts may provide insights into the improvement of the cardiovascular risk stratification of patients and the development of therapeutic strategies against the oxidative effects that can then be applied within a clinical setting.

Abstract
This study investigated the toxic effects of trans,trans-2,4-decadienal (tt-DDE) on vascular endothelial cells as well as the underlying mechanisms involved. Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with different concentrations of tt-DDE for 24 h, and cell viability, colony formation ability, apoptosis, mitochondrial function and autophagy pathway were determined. The results showed that tt-DDE dose-dependently inhibited cell viability and colony formation, and increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and apoptosis in HUVECs. Besides, tt-DDE exposure induced extensive mitochondrial damage, as evidenced by the decreased mitochondrial DNA copy number, ATP synthesis, and mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cytochrome c release from mitochondria. tt-DDE also induced mitochondrial fragmentation and fission by increasing DNM1L protein expression and DNM1L mitochondrial translocation. Additionally, tt-DDE treatment resulted in the blockage of autophagic flux and accumulation of autophagosomes in endothelial cells. Further investigation revealed that the inhibition of autophagy by 3-methyladenine aggravated tt-DDE-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cell injury. However, scavenging of ROS by N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) significantly prevented tt-DDE-induced mitochondrial damage, autophagy dysfunction, and cell injury. These data indicated that tt-DDE induced endothelial cell injury through impairing mitochondrial function and autophagic flux.

Vitamin D Deficiency Induces Elevated Oxidative and Biomechanical Damage in Coronary Arterioles in Male Rats. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9100997. [PMID: 33076449 PMCID: PMC7602574 DOI: 10.3390/antiox9100997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2020] [Revised: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Several reports prove interconnection between vitamin D (VD) deficiency and increased cardiovascular risk. Our aim was to investigate the effects of VD status on biomechanical and oxidative–nitrative (O–N) stress parameters of coronary arterioles in rats. Methods: 4-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into a control group (11 animals) with optimal VD supply (300 IU/kgbw/day) and a VD-deficient group (11 animals, <5 IU/kg/day). After 8 weeks, coronary arteriole segments were prepared. Geometrical, elastic, and biomechanical characteristics were measured by in vitro arteriography. O–N stress markers were investigated by immunohistochemistry. Results: Inner radius decreased; wall thickness and wall-thickness/lumen diameter ratio increased; tangential wall stress and elastic modulus were reduced in VD-deficient group. No difference could be found in wall-cross-sectional area, intima-media area %. While the elastic elements of the vessel wall decreased, the α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) immunostaining intensity showed no changes. Significant elevation was found in the lipid peroxidation marker of 4-hidroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), while other O–N stress markers staining intensity (poly(ADP)ribose, 3-nitrotyrosine) did not change. Conclusions: Inward eutrophic remodeling has developed. The potential background of these impairments may involve the initial change in oxidative damage markers (HNE). These mechanisms can contribute to the increased incidence of the cardiovascular diseases in VD deficiency.

Abstract
Modern analytical methods combined with the modern concepts of redox signaling revealed 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) as particular growth regulating factor involved in redox signaling under physiological and pathophysiological circumstances. In this review current knowledge of the relevance of 4-HNE as "the second messenger of reactive oxygen species" (ROS) in redox signaling of representative major stress-associated diseases is briefly summarized. The findings presented allow for 4-HNE to be considered not only as second messenger of ROS, but also as one of fundamental factors of the stress- and age-associated diseases. While standard, even modern concepts of molecular medicine and respective therapies in majority of these diseases target mostly the disease-specific symptoms. 4-HNE, especially its protein adducts, might appear to be the bioactive markers that would allow better monitoring of specific pathophysiological processes reflecting their complexity. Eventually that could help development of advanced integrative medicine approach for patients and the diseases they suffer from on the personalized basis implementing biomedical remedies that would optimize beneficial effects of ROS and 4-HNE to prevent the onset and progression of the illness, perhaps even providing the real cure.

Abstract
The role of aldo‐keto reductase family 1 member B1 (AKR1B1) in cancer is not totally clear but growing evidence is suggesting to have a great impact on cancer progression. AKR1B1 could participate in a complicated network of signalling pathways, proteins and miRNAs such as mir‐21 mediating mechanisms like inflammatory responses, cell cycle, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, cell survival and apoptosis. AKR1B1 has been shown to be mostly overexpressed in cancer. This overexpression has been associated with inflammatory mediators including nuclear factor kappa‐light‐chain‐enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB), cell cycle mediators such as cyclins and cyclin‐dependent kinases (CDKs), survival proteins and pathways like mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and protein kinase B (PKB) or AKT, and other regulatory factors in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prostaglandin synthesis. In addition, inhibition of AKR1B1 has been shown to mostly have anti‐cancer effects. Several studies have also suggested that AKR1B1 inhibition as an adjuvant therapy could render tumour cells more sensitive to anti‐cancer therapy or alleviate the adverse effects of therapy. AKR1B1 could also be considered as a potential cancer diagnostic biomarker since its promoter has shown high levels of methylation. Although pre‐clinical investigations on the role of AKR1B1 in cancer and the application of its inhibitors have shown promising results, the lack of clinical studies on AKR1B1 inhibitors has hampered the use of these drugs to treat cancer. Thus, there is a need to conduct more clinical studies on the application of AKR1B1 inhibitors as adjuvant therapy on different cancers.
