Abstract
Muscle is a highly organized apparatus with a hierarchicmicrostructure that offers the protection of cellular components againstreactive oxygen species (ROS). However, fresh meat immediately postmortem andmeat undergoing processing become susceptible to oxidation due to physicaldisruption and the influx of molecular oxygen. Upon the activation byendogenous prooxidants, oxygen species are rapidly produced, and bothmyofibrillar and sarcoplasmic proteins become their primary targets. Direct ROSattack of amino acid sidechains and peptide backbone leads to proteinconformational changes, conversion to carbonyl and thiol derivatives, andsubsequent aggregation and polymerization. Interestingly, mild radical andnonradical oxidation enables orderly protein physicochemical changes, which explainswhy gels formed by ROS-modified myofibrillar protein has improved rheologicalproperties and binding potential in comminuted meat and meat emulsions. Theincorporation of phenolic and other multi-functional compounds promotes gelnetwork formation, fat emulsification, and water immobilization; however,extensive protein modification induced by high levels of ROS impairs proteinfunctionality. Now recognized to be a natural occurrence, once-neglectedprotein oxidation has drawn much interest and is being intensively studiedwithin the international community of meat science. This review describes thehistory and evolution of muscle protein oxidation, the mechanism andfunctionality impact hereof, and innovative oxidant/antioxidant strategies tocontrol and manipulate oxidation in the context of meat processing, storage,and quality. It is hoped that the review will stimulate in-depth discussion of scientificas well as industrial relevance and importance of protein oxidation and inspirerobust international collaboration in addressing this global challenge.

Abstract
Protein is a major nutrient present in foods along with carbohydrates and lipids. Food proteins undergo a wide range of modifications during food production, processing, and storage. In this review, we discuss two major reactions, oxidation and the Maillard reaction, involved in chemical modifications of food proteins. Protein oxidation in foods is initiated by metal-, enzyme-, or light-induced processes. Food protein oxidation results in the loss of thiol groups and the formation of protein carbonyls and specific oxidation products of cysteine, tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, and methionine residues, such as disulfides, dityrosine, kynurenine, m-tyrosine, and methionine sulfoxide. The Maillard reaction involves the reaction of nucleophilic amino acid residues with reducing sugars, which yields numerous heterogeneous compounds such as α-dicarbonyls, furans, Strecker aldehydes, advanced glycation end-products, and melanoidins. Both protein oxidation and the Maillard reaction result in the loss of essential amino acids but may positively or negatively impact food structure and flavor. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Food Science and Technology, Volume 13 is March 2022.

Abstract
Most women with breast cancer can become pregnant and give birth while undergoing radiation therapy and breastfeeding is generally not contraindicated. The induction of long-lived reactive species in proteins, such as casein by X-ray radiation and DNA damage to unexposed organisms, has been shown when ingesting irradiated cheese. To determine whether exposing lactating rats to X-rays increases the number of micronucleated erythrocytes (MNEs) in peripheral blood of their unexposed or breastfeeding rat pups, 15 female Wistar rats were divided into three groups: Negative control; Experimental group exposed to X-rays, and group exposed to X-rays plus vitamin C. The mothers of groups 2 and 3 were irradiated for three consecutive days after giving birth, returning them to their respective cages each time to continue lactation. A blood sample was taken from the mothers and pups at 0, 24, and 48 hr. Blood smears were stained with acridine orange to analyze MNEs. In mother rats, the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs) increased significantly at 24 and 48 hr in both study groups exposed to radiation. Likewise, in rat pups the MNPCE and MNE frequencies increased in both groups with radiation and radiation plus vitamin C at 24 and 48 hr, and a protection from vitamin C was observed. In conclusion, the genotoxic damage produced in rat pups that were lactated by mothers irradiated with X-rays is possibly due to the effect of long-lived reactive species that were formed in the breast milk of female Wistar rats during the irradiation process.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2021; 324:106912. [PMID: 33524671 PMCID: PMC7925436 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2021.106912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2020] [Revised: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Low-concentration photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (LC-photo-CIDNP) has recently emerged as an effective tool for the hyperpolarization of aromatic amino acids in solution, either in isolation or within proteins. One factor limiting the maximum achievable signal-to-noise ratio in LC-photo-CIDNP is the progressive degradation of the target molecule and photosensitizer upon long-term optical irradiation. Fortunately, this effect does not cause spectral distortions but leads to a progressively smaller signal buildup upon long-term data-collection (e.g. 500 nM tryptophan on a 600 MHz spectrometer after ca. 200 scans). Given that it is generally desirable to minimize the extent of photodamage, we report that low-μM amounts of the reductive radical quenchers vitamin C (VC, i.e., ascorbic acid) or 2-mercaptoethylamine (MEA) enable LC-photo-CIDNP data to be acquired for significantly longer time than ever possible before. This approach increases the sensitivity of LC-photo-CIDNP by more than 100%, with larger enhancement factors achieved in experiments involving more transients. Our results are consistent with VC and MEA acting primarily by reducing transient free radicals of the NMR molecule of interest, thus attenuating the extent of photodamage. The benefits of this reductive radical-quencher approach are highlighted by the ability to collect long-term high-resolution 2D 1H-13C LC-photo-CIDNP data on a dilute sample of the drkN SH3 protein (5 μM).

Abstract
Endothelial cell dysfunction is an early event in cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The origin of this dysfunction is unresolved, but accumulating evidence implicates damaging oxidants, including hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a major oxidant produced by myeloperoxidase (MPO), during chronic inflammation. MPO is released extracellularly by activated leukocytes and binds to extracellular molecules including fibronectin, a major matrix glycoprotein involved in endothelial cell binding. We hypothesized that MPO binding might influence the modifications induced on fibronectin, when compared to reagent HOCl, with this including alterations to the extent of damage to protein side-chains, modified structural integrity, changes to functional domains, and impact on naïve human coronary artery endothelial cell (HCAEC) adhesion and metabolic activity. The effect of increasing concentrations of the alternative MPO substrate thiocyanate (SCN-), which might decrease HOCl formation were also examined. Exposure of fibronectin to MPO/H2O2/Cl- is shown to result in damage to the functionally important cell-binding and heparin-binding fragments, gross structural changes to the protein, and altered HCAEC adhesion and activity. Differences were observed between stoichiometric, and above-stoichiometric MPO concentrations consistent with an effect of MPO binding to fibronectin. In contrast, MPO/H2O2/SCN- induced much less marked changes and limited protein damage. Addition of increasing SCN- concentrations to the MPO/H2O2/Cl- system provided protection, with 20 μM of this anion rescuing damage to functionally-important domains, decreasing chemical modification, and maintaining normal HCAEC behavior. Modulating MPO binding to fibronectin, or enhancing SCN- levels at sites of inflammation may therefore limit MPO-mediated damage, and be of therapeutic value.

Anti-Fibrotic Effect of Human Wharton's Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Skeletal Muscle Cells, Mediated by Secretion of MMP-1. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21176269.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) components play an important role in maintaining skeletal muscle function, but excessive accumulation of ECM components interferes with skeletal muscle regeneration after injury, eventually inducing fibrosis. Increased oxidative stress level caused by dystrophin deficiency is a key factor in fibrosis in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered a promising therapeutic agent for various diseases involving fibrosis. In particular, the paracrine factors secreted by MSCs play an important role in the therapeutic effects of MSCs. In this study, we investigated the effects of MSCs on skeletal muscle fibrosis. In 2–5-month-old mdx mice intravenously injected with 1 × 105 Wharton’s jelly (WJ)-derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs), fibrosis intensity and accumulation of calcium/necrotic fibers were significantly decreased. To elucidate the mechanism of this effect, we verified the effect of WJ-MSCs in a hydrogen peroxide-induced fibrosis myotubes model. In addition, we demonstrated that matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), a paracrine factor, is critical for this anti-fibrotic effect of WJ-MSCs. These findings demonstrate that WJ-MSCs exert anti-fibrotic effects against skeletal muscle fibrosis, primarily via MMP-1, indicating a novel target for the treatment of muscle diseases, such as DMD.

Abstract
Oxidation is one of the deterioration reactions of proteins in food, the importance of which is comparable to others such as Maillard, lipation, or protein-phenol reactions. While research on protein oxidation has led to a precise understanding of the processes and consequences in physiological systems, knowledge about the specific effects of protein oxidation in food or the role of "oxidized" dietary protein for the human body is comparatively scarce. Food protein oxidation can occur during the whole processing axis, from primary production to intestinal digestion. The present review summarizes the current knowledge and mechanisms of food protein oxidation from a chemical, technological, and nutritional-physiological viewpoint and gives a comprehensive classification of the individual reactions. Different analytical approaches are compared, and the relationship between oxidation of food proteins and oxidative stress in vivo is critically evaluated.

Abstract
Iron(II), added as FeSO4·7H2O, was found to increase the rate of oxygen depletion as detected electrochemically in a pork homogenate from Longissimus dorsi through an initial increase in metmyoglobin formation from oxymyoglobin and followed by formation of primary and secondary lipid oxidation products and protein oxidation as detected as thiol depletion in myofibrillar proteins. Without added iron(II), under the same conditions at 37 °C, oxygen consumption corresponded solely to the slow oxymyoglobin autoxidation. Long-lived myofibrillar protein radicals as detected by ESR spectroscopy in the presence of iron(II) were formed subsequently to oxymyoglobin oxidation, and their level was increased by lipid oxidation when oxygen was completely depleted. Similarly, the time profile for formation of lipid peroxide indicated that oxymyoglobin oxidation initiates both protein oxidation and lipid oxidation.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the pattern of age-associated oxidative post-translational modifications in the skeletal muscles of a mammalian species and to address whether the modifications result in the loss of function of the oxidatively modified protein(s). Accordingly, proteins in the mitochondrial matrix of the hind limb of C57BL/6Nnia mice were examined for modifications by carbonylation--an established marker of oxidative post-translational modifications--by Western blotting using anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl antibodies and tritiated sodium borohydride methods. An age-associated increase in carbonylation of mitochondrial matrix proteins was observed, but not all proteins were equally susceptible. A 55 kDa protein, identified as the α-subunit of the F1 complex of ATP synthase (ATP phosphohydrolase [H(+)-transporting]), had approximately 17% and 27% higher levels of protein carbonyls in adult and old animals, respectively, in comparison to the young controls as estimated using tritiated sodium borohydride. In addition, an age-associated decline in its activity was observed, with approximately 9% and 28% decrease in the activity in the adult and old animals, respectively, in comparison to young controls. It may be concluded that such oxidative post-translational modifications and the resultant attenuation of the protein activity may contribute to the age-related energy loss and muscular degeneracy.

Abstract
Aging is associated with a progressive loss of bone-muscle mass and strength. When the decline in mass and strength reaches critical thresholds associated with adverse health outcomes, they are operationally considered geriatric conditions and named, respectively, osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Osteoporosis and sarcopenia share many of the same risk factors and both directly or indirectly cause higher risk of mobility limitations, falls, fractures and disability in activities of daily living. This is not surprising since bones adapt their morphology and strength to the long-term loads exerted by muscle during anti-gravitational and physical activities. Non-mechanical systemic and local factors also modulate the mechanostat effect of muscle on bone by affecting the bidirectional osteocyte-muscle crosstalk, but the specific pathways that regulate these homeostatic mechanisms are not fully understood. More research is required to reach a consensus on cut points in bone and muscle parameters that identify individuals at high risk for adverse health outcomes, including falls, fractures and disability. A better understanding of the muscle-bone physiological interaction may help to develop preventive strategies that reduce the burden of musculoskeletal diseases, the consequent disability in older persons and to limit the financial burden associated with such conditions. In this review, we summarize age-related bone-muscle changes focusing on the biomechanical and homeostatic mechanisms that explain bone-muscle interaction and we speculate about possible pathological events that occur when these mechanisms become impaired. We also report some recent definitions of osteoporosis and sarcopenia that have emerged in the literature and their implications in clinical practice. Finally, we outline the current evidence for the efficacy of available anti-osteoporotic and proposed antisarcopenic interventions in older persons.

Abstract
Radical transfer from perferrylmyoglobin to other target species (myofibrillar proteins, MPI) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), extracts from green tea (GTE), maté (ME), and rosemary (RE), and three phenolic compounds, catechin, caffeic acid, and carnosic acid) was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to determine the concentrations of plant extracts required to protect against protein oxidation. Blocking of MPI thiol groups by N-ethylmaleimide was found to reduce the rate of reaction of MPI with perferrylmyoglobin radicals, signifying the importance of protein thiols as radical scavengers. GTE had the highest phenolic content of the three extracts and was most effective as a radical scavenger. IC50 values indicated that the molar ratio between phenols in plant extract and MPI thiols needs to be >15 in order to obtain efficient protection against protein-to-protein radical transfer in meat. Caffeic acid was found most effective among the plant phenols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum albumin binds avidly to heme to form heme-serum albumin complex, also called methemalbumin, and this binding is thought to protect against the potentially toxic effects of heme. However, the mechanism of detoxification has not been fully elucidated. METHODS SDS-PAGE and Western blot were used to determine the efficiency of methemalbumin on catalyzing protein carbonylation and nitration. HPLC was used to test the formation of heme to protein cross-linked methemalbumin. RESULTS The peroxidase activity of heme increased upon human serum albumin (HSA) binding. Methemalbumin showed higher efficiency in catalyzing tyrosine oxidation than free heme in the presence of H2O2. Methemalbumin catalyzed self-nitration and significantly promoted the nitration of tyrosine in coexistent protein, but decreased the carbonylation of coexistent protein compared with heme. The heme to protein cross-linked form of methemalbumin suggested that HSA trapped the free radical accompanied by the formation of ferryl heme. When tyrosine residues in HSA were modified by iodination, HSA lost of protection effect on protein carbonylation. The low concentration of glutathione could effectively inhibit tyrosine nitration, but had no effect on protein carbonylation. CONCLUSION HSA protects against the toxic effect of heme by transferring the free radical to tyrosine residues in HSA, therefore protecting surrounding proteins from irreversible oxidation, rather than by direct inhibiting the peroxidase activity. The increased tyrosine radicals can be reduced by endogenic antioxidants such as GSH. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This investigation indicated the important role of tyrosine residues in heme detoxification by HSA and suggested a possible novel mechanism.

Oxidative status and histological changes in sea bass larvae muscle in response to high dietary content of docosahexaenoic acid DHA. JOURNAL OF FISH DISEASES 2013; 36:453-465. [PMID: 23167568 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2761.2012.01447.x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2011] [Revised: 06/06/2011] [Accepted: 10/03/2011] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
In previous studies, we observed dystrophic alterations in muscle of 48-day-old sea bass fed imbalanced docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and vitamin E diets. To understand the whole pathological process associated with oxidative stress, a histological study was performed by feeding 14-day-old sea bass larvae with microdiets containing different ratios of DHA/vitamin E (1/150, 5/150 and 5/300) for a period of 21 days. Larvae fed diet 1/150 showed no lesions in contrast to larvae fed diets 5/150 and 5/300 where the highest incidence of muscle lesions and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) content was observed. Semithin sections revealed focal lesions consisting of degenerated fibres with hypercontracted myofilaments and extensive sarcoplasm vacuolization affecting both red and white muscle. Ultrathin sections of degenerating muscle fibres showed diffuse dilatation of sarcoplasmic reticulum, disorganized myofilaments and autophagic vacuoles containing myelin figures and dense bodies. Additionally, some macrophages were observed among injured fibres as numerous satellite cells. Results from the study agree with those obtained from previous work, proving the pathological potential of free radicals in sea bass larvae musculature. Moreover, high vitamin E inclusion could not completely protect cell membranes from free radicals action.

Abstract
The scavenging activity of extracts of green tea (GTE), white grape (WGE), and rosemary (RE), all plant material with high phenolic content, and of the phenolic compounds 4-methylcatechol (4-MC), (+)-catechin, and carnosic acid toward long-lived myosin radicals generated by reaction with H2O2-activated myoglobin at room temperature (pH 7.5, I=1.0) was investigated by freeze-quench ESR spectroscopy. Myosin radicals were generated by incubating 16 μM myosin, 800 μM metmyoglobin, and 800 μM H2O2 for 10 min, and the phenolic extracts were subsequently added (1% (w/w) phenolic compounds relative to myosin). GTE was able to scavenge myosin radicals and reduce the radical intensity by 65%. Furthermore, a low concentration of 4-MC (33 μM) was found to increase the radical concentration when added to the myosin radicals, whereas a higher concentration of 4-MC and catechin (330 μM) was found to scavenge myosin radicals and reduce the overall radical concentration by ∼65%.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the cultured L6 myoblasts are susceptible to menadione-induced oxidative stress. Damaged cells were detached from the culture dishes. In the present study, we focused on focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which plays pivotal roles in maintaining focal adhesion function and cell survival. FAK, normally localized at the focal adhesion regions of the myoblasts, was not observed at the regions under oxidative stress induced by menadione and H(2) O(2) . Two cleavage products, 80-kDa N-terminal FAK and 35-kDa C-terminal FAK fragments, as well as full-length FAK (125 kDa) were detected in myoblasts cultured under normal conditions by western blotting with anti-N-terminal FAK or anti-C-terminal FAK sera. Of interest was the finding that the cleavage products of FAK (but not full-length FAK) disappeared under oxidative stress. The cleavage of full-length FAK to N-terminal FAK and C-terminal FAK was inhibited by calpeptin, a specific calpain inhibitor. In addition, pre-incubation of cells with calpeptin resulted in a sharp decrease in survival signals, such as Akt phosphorylation and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, under stress conditions. By contrast, not only relative viability, but also Akt phosphorylation and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was significantly improved when cells were transfected with a DNA construct of N-terminal FAK-Myc. These results suggest that the N-terminal FAK positively regulates survival signalling in early phases of oxidative stress in the cultured myoblasts.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of Se inclusion in high-DHA and vitamin E microdiets (5 g DHA/100 g dry weight and 300 mg vitamin E/100 g dry weight; 5 g DHA/100 g dry weight and 300 mg vitamin E/100 g dry weight supplemented with Se) in comparison with a control diet (1 g DHA/100 g dry weight and 150 mg vitamin E/100 g dry weight) on sea bass larval growth, survival, biochemical composition, malonaldehyde (MDA) content, muscle morphology and antioxidant enzymes (AOE), insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and myosin expression. For a given DHA and vitamin E dietary content, Se inclusion favoured larval total length and specific growth rate, and reduced the incidence of muscular lesions, MDA contents and AOE gene expression. In contrast, IGF gene expression was elevated in the 5/300 larvae, suggesting an increased muscle mitogenesis that was corroborated by the increase in mRNA copies of myosin heavy chain. The results of the present study denoted the beneficial effect of Se not only in preventing oxidative stress, as a glutathione peroxidase cofactor, but probably due to other as yet unknown physiological functions.

Abstract
Photo-induced damage to proteins occurs via multiple pathways. Direct damage induced by UVB (λ 280-320 nm) and UVA radiation (λ 320-400 nm) is limited to a small number of amino acid residues, principally tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), histidine (His) and disulfide (cystine) residues, with this occurring via both excited state species and radicals. Indirect protein damage can occur via singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)(1)Δ(g)), with this resulting in damage to Trp, Tyr, His, cystine, cysteine (Cys) and methionine (Met) residues. Although initial damage is limited to these residues multiple secondary processes, that occur both during and after radiation exposure, can result in damage to other intra- and inter-molecular sites. Secondary damage can arise via radicals (e.g. Trp, Tyr and Cys radicals), from reactive intermediates generated by (1)O(2) (e.g. Trp, Tyr and His peroxides) and via molecular reactions of photo-products (e.g. reactive carbonyls). These processes can result in protein fragmentation, aggregation, altered physical and chemical properties (e.g. hydrophobicity and charge) and modulated biological turnover. Accumulating evidence implicates these events in cellular and tissue dysfunction (e.g. apoptosis, necrosis and altered cell signaling), and multiple human pathologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the relation between haemoglobin (Hb)-mediated lipid and protein oxidation in muscle foods and how these two reactions can be inhibited by naturally occurring antioxidants. This study was aimed at evaluating (1) lipid oxidation and protein oxidation induced by 20 µmol L(-1) Hb during chilled and frozen storage of washed cod mince and (2) the efficiency of 10-1000 ppm (0.063-6.3 mmol L(-1)) caffeic acid in preventing these reactions. RESULTS Addition of 20 µmol L(-1) Hb increased peroxide value (PV), rancid odour, protein carbonylation, protein insolubilisation, redness loss and α-tocopherol loss in ice-stored washed cod mince. Since both lipid and protein oxidation developed at the same time, it was not possible to conclude which reaction initiated the other. All studied reactions were efficiently inhibited by ≥ 50 ppm caffeic acid, which could be a result of α-tocopherol regeneration, general radical scavenging, reduced formation of oxidised Hb forms and/or conformational changes in Hb structure. During frozen storage the only clear effect of Hb was increased PV, and here caffeic acid was less efficient as an antioxidant. CONCLUSION Hb-induced lipid and protein oxidation occurred quickly in ice-stored washed cod mince, and the two reactions could not be separated in time. During frozen storage, Hb caused only limited lipid oxidation. Caffeic acid (≥50 ppm) was an efficient antioxidant during ice storage.

In vivo protective effect of ferulic acid against noise-induced hearing loss in the guinea-pig. Neuroscience 2010; 169:1575-88.

Abstract
Ferulic acid (FA) is a phenolic compound whose neuroprotective activity was extensively studied in vitro. In this study, we provided functional in vivo evidence that FA limits noise-induced hearing loss. Guinea-pigs exposed to acoustic trauma for 1 h exhibited a significant impairment in auditory function; this injury was evident as early as 1 day from noise exposure and persisted over 21 days. Ferulic acid (150 mg/kg i.p. for 4 days) counteracted noise-induced hearing loss at days 1, 3, 7 and 21 from noise exposure. The improvement of auditory function by FA was paralleled by a significant reduction in oxidative stress, apoptosis and increase in hair cell viability in the organ of Corti. Interestingly in the guinea-pig cochleae, the neuroprotective effect of FA was functionally related not only to its scavenging ability in the peri-traumatic period but also to the up-regulation of the cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1); in fact, FA-induced improvement of auditory function was counteracted by the HO inhibitor zinc-protoporphyrin-IX and paralleled the time-course of HO-1 induction over 3-7 days. These results confirm the antioxidant properties of FA as free-radical scavenger and suggest a role of HO-1 as an additional mediator against noise-induced ototoxicity.

Abstract
Aging is associated with a progressive decline of muscle mass, strength, and quality, a condition described as sarcopenia of aging. Despite the significance of skeletal muscle atrophy, the mechanisms responsible for the deterioration of muscle performance are only partially understood. The purpose of this review is to highlight cellular, molecular, and biochemical changes that contribute to age-related muscle dysfunction.

Abstract
Oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) by lactoperoxidase was found to be inhibited by tyrosine-containing random amino acid copolymers but not by tyrosine. Both electrostatic effects and polymer size were found to be important by comparison of negatively and positively charged copolymers of varying lengths, with poly(Glu, Tyr)4:1 ([E 4Y 1] approximately 40) as the strongest competitive inhibitor (EC 50 approximately 20 nM). This polymer did not form dityrosine in the presence of lactoperoxidase (LPO) and peroxide. Furthermore, incubation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, as opposed to hydrogen peroxide, resulted in a peculiar long lag phase of the reaction between the redox intermediate compound II and [E 4Y 1] approximately 40, indicating a very tight association between enzyme and inhibitor. We propose that interactions between multiple positively charged areas on the surface of LPO and the polymer are required for optimal inhibition.

Abstract
Oxidation of the myofibrillar muscle protein myosin from pork by hypervalent myoglobin species (MbFe(III)/H 2O2 radical generating system) was investigated in aqueous solution in the pH range of 5.0-7.8 by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy using N- tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (PBN) as spin trap and indirectly by determination of the rate of reduction of hypervalent myoglobin species by UV spectroscopy. Cross-linking of myosin was examined by SDS-PAGE. The target for oxidative modification of myosin was studied by thiol blocking by N-acetylmaleimide (NEM) and by determining oxidative modification of myosin thiols. The reaction between myosin and hypervalent myoglobin was fast and showed little dependence on pH. The myosin radicals formed were observed to be short-lived. Myosin thiols are suggested to be the main target for oxidative modification, as NEM-treated myosin did not form radicals in the presence of hypervalent myoglobin. A significant decrease in thiol content was already demonstrated 25 s after initiation of oxidation of myosin. The majority of myosin heavy chain (MHC) was demonstrated to be cross-linked through intermolecular disulfide bonding 1 h after initiation of oxidation. This demonstrates that thiols are important for radical formation and cross-linking of myosin during oxidation with hypervalent myoglobin at the pH of meat products.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that myosin can be modified by oxidative stress and particularly by activated haem proteins. These reactions have been implicated in changes in the properties of this protein in food samples (changes in meat tenderness and palatability), in human physiology (alteration of myocyte function and force generation) and in disease (e.g. cardiomyopathy, chronic heart failure). The oxidant species, mechanisms of reaction and consequences of these reactions are incompletely characterized. In the present study, the nature of the transient species generated on myosin as a result of the reaction with activated haem proteins (horseradish peroxidase/H2O2 and met-myoglobin/H2O2) has been investigated by EPR spectroscopy and amino-acid consumption, product formation has been characterized by HPLC, and changes in protein integrity have been determined by SDS/PAGE. Multiple radical species have been detected by EPR in both the presence and the absence of spin traps. Evidence has been obtained for the presence of thiyl, tyrosyl and other unidentified radical species on myosin as a result of damage-transfer from oxidized myoglobin or horseradish peroxidase. The generation of thiyl and tyrosyl radicals is consistent with the observed consumption of cysteine and tyrosine residues, the detection of di-tyrosine by HPLC and the detection of both reducible (disulfide bond) and non-reducible cross-links between myosin molecules by SDS/PAGE. The time course of radical formation on myosin, product generation and cross-link induction are consistent with these processes being interlinked. These changes are consistent with the altered function and properties of myosin in muscle tissue exposed to oxidative stress arising from disease or from food processing.

Abstract
Water-binding properties of myofibrils extracted from porcine muscle, and added hemoglobin with and without exposure to H2O2, were characterized using low-field proton NMR T2 relaxometry. The effects of pH and ionic strength in the samples were investigated as pH was adjusted to 5.4, 6.2, and 7.0 and ionic strength was adjusted to 0.29, 0.46, and 0.71 M, respectively. The formation of dityrosine as a measure of oxidative protein cross-linking revealed a significant increase in dityrosine concentrations upon H2O2 activation. The formation of dityrosine was strongly pH-dependent and increased with decreasing pH. In addition, increased levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were observed upon addition of H2O2, implying that lipid oxidation was enhanced, however, with a different oxidation pattern as compared to the myofibrillar proteins. Low-field NMR relaxation measurements revealed reduced T2 relaxation times upon H2O2 activation, which corresponds to reduced water-holding capacity upon oxidation. However, a direct relationship between degree of oxidation and T2 relaxation time was not observed with various pH values and ionic strengths, and further studies are needed for a complete understanding of the effect of oxidation on myofibrillar functionality.

Abstract
In this paper, inactivation of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) by products of reactions of H2O2 with metHb has been studied. Inactivation of the enzyme was studied in two systems corresponding to two kinetic stages of the reaction. In the first system H2O2 was added to the mixture of metHb and ADH [the (metHb+ADH)+H2O2] system (ADH was present in the system since the moment of addition of H2O2 i. e. since the very beginning of the reaction of metHb with H2O2). In the second system ADH was added to the system 5 min after the initiation of the reaction of H2O2 with metHb [the (metHb+H2O2)5 min+ADH] system. In the first case all the products of reaction of H2O2 with metHb (non-peroxyl and peroxyl radicals and non-radical products, viz. hydroperoxides and *HbFe(IV)=O) could react with the enzyme causing its inactivation. In the second system, enzyme reacted almost exclusively with non-radical products (though a small contribution of reactions with peroxyl radicals cannot be excluded). ADH inactivation was observed in both system. Hydrogen peroxide alone did not inactivate ADH at the concentrations employed evidencing that enzyme inactivation was due exclusively to products of reaction of H2O2 with metHb. The rate and extent of ADH inactivation were much higher in the first than in the second system. The dependence of ADH activity on the time of incubation with ferryl derivatives of Hb can be described by a sum of three exponentials in the first system and two exponentials in the second system. Reactions of appropriate forms of the ferryl derivatives of hemoglobin have been tentatively ascribed to these exponentials. The extent of the enzyme inactivation in the second system was dependent on the proton concentration, being at the highest at pH 7.4 and negligible at pH 6.0. The reaction of H2O2 with metHb resulted in the formation of cross-links of Hb subunits (dimers and trimers). The amount of the dimers formed was much lower in the first system i. e. when the radical forms dominated the reaction of inactivation.

Abstract
On the basis of the accelerated age-related effects in type II muscle, we hypothesized that with aging the semimembranosus (type II) muscle would accumulate a greater amount of oxidized proteins compared to proteins in the soleus (type I) muscle. In this study, 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) was used as a stable marker of protein oxidative damage. The presence of 3-NT was evaluated in muscles from young adult, old, and very old Fischer 344 rats to provide an indication of the time course of muscle protein oxidative damage. A significant age-associated increase in nitrotyrosine-modified proteins was observed. The modified proteins identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry include the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(+2)-ATPase, aconitase, beta-enolase, triosephosphate isomerase, and carbonic anhydrase III. These proteins, involved in metabolism and calcium homeostasis, exhibited an age-dependent increase in 3-NT content in both muscles. However, significant levels of 3-NT modification were present at an earlier age in the semimembranosus muscle.

Abstract
Oxidation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using different oxidants: The water-soluble azo-initiator 2,2'azo-bis-(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH), a combination of FeCl(3) and ascorbate or the Fenton oxidant consisting of FeCl(2), H(2)O(2) and EDTA. In addition, the effects of exogenous compounds such as tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBuOOH) or solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), often used in model systems, was evaluated. The extent of protein damage was studied by measuring protein carbonyl groups and protein hydroperoxides. The interaction between Fenton oxidant and EDTA, THF or tBuOOH was further characterized using spin trapping electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The results showed that the extent of protein oxidation depended on the oxidant used. The Fenton oxidant was the most reactive of the initiators tested. However, in the absence of EDTA, the Fenton system produced protein carbonyl groups on BSA equivalent to that obtained with the other oxidants, however, significantly more protein hydroperoxide was produced. Surprisingly, it was also found that addition of tBuOOH or THF to BSA reduced protein damage when the oxidation was initiated with the Fenton oxidant. ESR investigation showed that EDTA played a key role in the generation of free radicals. It was also revealed that in an EDTA containing system both tBuOOH and THF were able to react with radicals without inducing protein damage in effect protecting BSA from oxidative damage.

Abstract
The mechanism of the reactions of myoglobin and hemoglobin with *OH and CO3*- in the presence of oxygen was studied using pulse and gamma-radiolysis. Unlike *NO2, which adds to the porphyrin iron, *OH and CO3*- form globin radicals. These secondary radicals oxidize the Fe(II) center through both intra- and intermolecular processes. The intermolecular pathway was further demonstrated when BSA radicals derived from *OH or CO3*- oxidized oxyhemoglobin and oxymyoglobin to their respective ferric states. The oxidation yields obtained by pulse radiolysis were lower compared to gamma-radiolysis, where the contribution of radical-radical reactions is negligible. Full oxidation yields by *OH-derived globin radicals could be achieved only at relatively high concentrations of the heme protein mainly via an intermolecular pathway. It is suggested that CO3*- reaction with the protein yields Tyr and/or Trp-derived phenoxyl radicals, which solely oxidize the porphyrin iron under gamma-radiolysis conditions. The *OH particularly adds to aromatic residues, which can undergo elimination of H2O forming the phenoxyl radical, and/or react rapidly with O2 yielding peroxyl radicals. The peroxyl radical can oxidize a neighboring porphyrin iron and/or give rise to superoxide, which neither oxidize nor reduce the porphyrin iron. The potential physiological implications of this chemistry are that hemoglobin and myoglobin, being present at relatively high concentrations, can detoxify highly oxidizing radicals yielding the respective ferric states, which are not toxic.

Abstract
Several free radical intermediates formed during synthesis of prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) catalyze the biosynthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid (AA). We attempted to directly detect free radical intermediates of PGHS in cells. Studies were carried out using human platelets, which possess significant PGHS activity. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra showed a g = 2.005 signal radical, which was formed by the incubation of collagen, thrombin, AA, and a variety of peroxides with human platelets. The ESR spectra obtained using 5,5-dimethyl-1 pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) and alpha-phenyl N-tert.-butylnitron (PBN) were typical of an immobilized nitroxide. Extensive Pronase digestion of both the DMPO and PBN adducts allowed us to deduce that it was a carbon-centered radical. The formation of this radical was inhibited by potassium cyanide and by desferroxamine. Peroxides stimulated formation of the g = 2.005 signal radical and inhibited platelet aggregation induced by AA. PGHS cosubstrates increased the intensity of the radical signal but inhibited platelet aggregation induced by AA. Both S-nitro-L-glutathione and reduced glutathione quenched the g = 2.005 radical but could not restore platelet aggregatory activity. These results suggest that the carbon-centered radical is a self-destructing free radical formed during peroxide-mediated deactivation of PGHS in human platelets.

Abstract
Laccase-catalyzed polymerization of tyrosine and tyrosine-containing peptides was studied in the presence and absence of ferulic acid (FA). Advanced spectroscopic methods such as MALDI-TOF MS, EPR, FTIR microscopy and HPLC-fluorescence, as well as more conventional analytical tools: oxygen consumption measurements and SDS/PAGE were used in the reaction mechanism studies. Laccase was found to oxidize tyrosine and tyrosine-containing peptides, with consequent polymerization of the compounds. The covalent linkage connecting the compounds was found to be an ether bond. Only small amounts of dityrosine bonds were detected in the polymers. When FA was added to the reaction mixtures, it was found to be incorporated into the polymer structure. Thus, in addition to homopolymers, different heteropolymers containing two or four FA residues were formed in the reactions.

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping was originally developed to aid the detection of low-molecular-mass radicals formed in chemical systems. It has subsequently found widespread use in biology and medicine for the direct detection of radical species formed during oxidative stress and via enzymatic reactions. Over the last 15 years this technique has also found increasing use in detecting and identifying radicals formed on biological macromolecules as a result of either radical reactions or enzymatic processes. Though the EPR signals that result from the trapping of large, slowly tumbling radicals are often broad and relatively poor in distinctive features, a number of techniques have been developed that allow a wealth of information to be obtained about the nature, site, and reactions of such radicals. This article summarizes recent developments in this area and reviews selected examples of radical formation on proteins.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a probe for the oxidation of proteins by hypervalent myoglobin species in solutions with pH from 5.3 to 7.7. The reaction between perferrylmyoglobin, *MbFe(IV)=O, and BSA was studied by activating metmyoglobin with equimolar amounts of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of BSA. A minor pH dependence was observed as judged from the formation of BSA-centered radicals, which were monitored at room temperature by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, and the formation of dityrosine. The reaction between ferrylmyoglobin, MbFe(IV)=O, and BSA was pH-dependent. BSA-centered radicals and dityrosine were formed in low levels at neutral pH and increased at low pH to the same levels as observed in the reaction of *MbFe(IV)=O with BSA. The present results demonstrate that protein-centered radicals can be formed from the non-radical MbFe(IV)=O under mildly acidic conditions, and this should be taken into account when considering oxidation in cellular compartments of low pH and in meat-related products.

Abstract
To investigate the involvement of a hemoglobin radical in the human oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) or metHb/H2O2 system, we have used a new approach called "immuno-spin trapping," which combines the specificity and sensitivity of both spin trapping and antigen:antibody interactions. Previously, a novel rabbit polyclonal anti-DMPO nitrone adduct antiserum, which specifically recognizes protein radical-derived nitrone adducts, was developed and validated in our laboratory. In the present study, the formation of nitrone adducts on hemoglobin was shown to depend on the oxidation state of the iron heme, the concentrations of H2O2 and DMPO, and time as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and by Western blotting. The presence of reduced glutathione or L-ascorbate significantly decreased the level of nitrone adducts on metHb in a dose-dependent manner. To confirm the ELISA results, Western blotting analysis showed that only the complete system (oxy- or metHb/DMPO/H2O2) generates epitopes recognized by the antiserum. The specific modification of tyrosine residues on metHb by iodination nearly abolished antibody binding, while the thiylation of cysteine residues caused a small but reproducible decrease in the amount of nitrone adducts. These findings strongly suggest that tyrosine residues are the site of formation of the immunochemically detectable hemoglobin radical-derived nitrone adducts. In addition, we were able to demonstrate the presence of hemoglobin radical-derived nitrone adducts inside red blood cells exposed to H2O2 and DMPO. In conclusion, our new approach showed several advantages over EPR spin trapping with the anti-DMPO nitrone adduct antiserum by demonstrating the formation of tyrosyl radical-derived nitrone adduct(s) in human oxyHb/metHb at much lower concentrations than was possible with EPR and detecting radicals inside RBC exposed to H2O2.

Abstract
The muscular dystrophies represent a diverse group of diseases differing in underlying genetic basis, age of onset, mode of inheritance, and severity of progression, but they share certain common pathologic features. Most prominent among these features is the necrotic degeneration of muscle fibers. Although the genetic basis of many of the dystrophies has been known for over a decade and new disease genes continue to be discovered, the pathogenetic mechanisms leading to muscle cell death in the dystrophies remain a mystery. This review focuses on the oxidative stress theory, which states that the final common pathway of muscle cell death in these diseases involves oxidative damage.

Abstract
The present study investigates the reactivity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) radicals towards different biomolecules (urate, linoleic acid, and a polypeptide, poly(Glu-Ala-Tyr)). The BSA radical was formed at room temperature through a direct protein-to-protein radical transfer from H(2)O(2)-activated immobilized horseradish peroxidase (im-HRP). Subsequently, each of the three different biomolecules was separately added to the BSA radicals, after removal of im-HRP by centrifugation. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy showed that all three biomolecules quenched the BSA radicals. Subsequent analysis showed a decrease in the concentration of urate upon reaction with the BSA radical, while the BSA radical in the presence of poly(Glu-Ala-Tyr) resulted in increased formation of the characteristic protein oxidation product, dityrosine. Reaction between the BSA radical and a linoleic acid oil-in-water emulsion resulted in additional formation of lipid hydroperoxides and conjugated dienes. The results clearly show that protein radicals have to be considered as dynamic species during oxidative processes in biological systems and that protein radicals should not be considered as end-products, but rather as reactive intermediates during oxidative processes in biological systems hereby supporting recent data.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide activation of MMb with and without the presence of BSA gave rise to rapid formation of hyper-valent myoglobin species, myoglobin ferryl radical (*MbFe(IV) = O) and/or ferrylmyoglobin (MbFe(IV) = O). Reduction of MbFe(IV) = O showed first-order kinetics for a 1-2 times stoichiometric excess of H2O2 to MMb while a 3-10 times stoichiometric excess of H2O2 resulted in a biphasic reaction pattern. Radical species formed in the reaction between MMb, H2O2 and BSA were influenced by [H2O2] as measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and resulted in the formation of cross-linking between BSA and myoglobin which was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and subsequent amino acid sequencing. Moreover, dityrosine was formed in the initial phases of the reaction for all concentrations of H2O2. However, initially formed dityrosine was subsequently utilized in reactions employing stoichiometric excess of H2O2 to MMb. The observed breakdown of dityrosine was ascribed to additional radical species formed from the interaction between H2O2 and the hyper-valent iron-center of H2O2-activated MMb.

Abstract
The ability to induce cellular defense mechanisms in response to environmental challenges is a fundamental property of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. We have previously shown that oxidative challenges lead to an increase in antioxidant enzymes, particularly glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT), in mouse skeletal muscle. The focus of the current studies is the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms responsible for these increases. Sequence analysis of the mouse GPx and CAT genes revealed putative binding motifs for NF kappa B and AP-1, transcriptional regulators that are activated in response to oxidative stress in various tissues. To test whether NF kappa B or AP-1 might be mediating the induction of GPx and CAT in muscle cells subjected to oxidative stress, we first characterized their activation by pro-oxidants. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that oxidative stress led to increases in the DNA binding of NF kappa B in differentiated muscle cells. The NF kappa B complexes included a p50/p65 heterodimer, a p50 homodimer, and a p50/RelB heterodimer. AP-1 was also activated, but with slower kinetics than that of NF kappa B. The major component of the AP-1 complexes was a heterodimer composed of c-jun/fos. To test for redox regulation of NF kappa B- or AP-1-dependent transcriptional activation, muscle cells expressing either kappa B/luciferase or TRE/luciferase reporter constructs were subjected to oxidative stress. Pro-oxidant treatment resulted in increased luciferase activity in cells expressing either construct. To test whether NF kappa B mediates oxidant-induced increases of GPx and CAT expression, we transfected cells with either a transdominant inhibitor (I kappa B alpha) or a dominant-negative inhibitor (Delta SP) of NF kappa B. Both inhibitors blocked the induction of antioxidant gene expression by more than 50%. In summary, our results suggest that NF kappa B and AP-1 are important mediators of redox-responsive gene expression in skeletal muscle, and that at least NF kappa B is actively involved in the upregulation of the GPx and CAT in response to oxidative stress.

Abstract
The H(2)O(2)-dependent reaction of lactoperoxidase (LPO) with sperm whale myoglobin (SwMb) or horse myoglobin (HoMb) produces LPO-Mb cross-linked species, in addition to LPO and SwMb homodimers. The HoMb products are a LPO(HoMb) dimer and LPO(HoMb)(2) trimer. Dityrosine cross-links are shown by their fluorescence to be present in the oligomeric products. Addition of H(2)O(2) to myoglobin (Mb), followed by catalase to quench excess H(2)O(2) before the addition of LPO, still yields LPO cross-linked products. LPO oligomerization therefore requires radical transfer from Mb to LPO. In contrast to native LPO, recombinant LPO undergoes little self-dimerization in the absence of Mb but occurs normally in its presence. Simultaneous addition of 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulfonic acid (DBNBS) and LPO to activated Mb produces a spin-trapped radical electron paramagnetic resonance signal located primarily on LPO, confirming the radical transfer. Mutation of Tyr-103 or Tyr-151 in SwMb decreased cross-linking with LPO, but mutation of Tyr-146, Trp-7, or Trp-14 did not. However, because DBNBS-trapped LPO radicals were observed with all the mutants, DBNBS traps LPO radicals other than those involved in protein oligomerization. The results clearly establish that radical transfer occurs from Mb to LPO and suggest that intermolecularly transferred radicals may reside on residues other than those that are generated by intramolecular reactions.

Abstract
Treatment of different human leukemia cell variants with the anthracycline adriamycin was associated with a rapid activation of the proteasome. Thus, proliferating U937, TUR, and retrodifferentiated U937 cells exhibited a 4.3-fold, 5.8-fold, and 4.3-fold proteasome activation within 15 minutes after adriamycin treatment, respectively. In contrast, little if any proteasome activation was detectable in a growth-arrested differentiated U937 population following adriamycin treatment. Further analysis of this mechanism revealed a significant reduction of adriamycin-induced proteasome activity after inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) by 3-aminobenzamide (3-ABA) in the proliferating leukemic cell types. These findings suggested that PARP is involved in the regulation of drug-induced proteasome activation. Indeed, anti-PARP immunoprecipitation experiments of adriamycin-treated cells revealed increasing levels of coprecipitated, enzymatically active proteasome particularly in the proliferating cell variants in contrast to the differentiated U937 cells, with a maximum after 15 minutes, and sensitivity to PARP inhibition by 3-ABA. The specific role of the PARP was investigated in U937 and TUR cell clones stably transfected with a constitutively active antisense PARP (asPARP) vector. Thus, asPARP-TUR cells developed a 25-fold increased sensitivity to adriamycin treatment. Furthermore, we investigated leukemic blasts isolated from acute myelogenous leukemia patients and obtained a similarly enhanced proteasome activity after adriamycin treatment, which was dependent on the PARP and thus could be coprecipitated with anti-PARP antibodies. Transient transfection of leukemic blasts with the asPARP vector significantly reduced the adriamycin-induced proteasome activation. These data suggest that the PARP-associated nuclear proteasome activation represents a potential target within chemotherapeutic defense mechanisms developed by leukemia cells.

Abstract
The oxidation of proteins by free radicals is thought to play a major role in many oxidative processes within cells and is implicated in a number of human diseases as well as ageing. This review summarises information on the formation of radicals on peptides and proteins and how radical damage may be propagated and transferred within protein structures. The emphasis of this article is primarily on the deleterious actions of radicals generated on proteins, and their mechanisms of action, rather than on enzymatic systems where radicals are deliberately formed as transient intermediates. The final section of this review examines the control of protein oxidation and how such damage might be limited by antioxidants.
