Abstract
3-Nitrotyrosine (3-NT) is thought to be a relevant biomarker of nitrosative stress which is associated with many inflammatory and chronic diseases. It is necessary to develop confidential method for specific and sensitive 3-NT detection. In this paper, on the basis of anti-3-NT specific antibody, we developed a label-free indirect competitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) immunosensor and ELISA for the detection of 3-NT. Under the optimized conditions, the SPR immunosensor can obtain a linear range of 0.17-6.07 μg/mL and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.12 μg/mL while the ELISA can reach 0.33-9.94 μg/mL and a LOD of 0.24 μg/mL.The selectivity of 3-NT was also testified by six kinds of amino acid analogues. Besides, the developed SPR immunosensor was compared thoroughly with a conventional ELISA in spiked analysis of urine samples. Good recoveries and correlation between these two methods were observed (R2 = 0.964). Therefore, it is concluded that the automated SPR platform can be applied to quantify 3-NT in biological samples with its sensitivity, accuracy, and real-timing.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine nitration plays a key role in many inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Many natural products are used to treat these diseases through their ability to potentially interfere this reaction. Here, we describe a novel method to provide active fingerprinting of inhibition of tyrosine nitration by natural products based on post-column tyrosine nitration reaction analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a photometric diode array. Results indicated that lotus leaf extracts exhibited obvious inhibitory activity against tyrosine nitration by peroxynitrite, and that chemical and active fingerprints were simultaneously established, with the active fingerprints indicating the active compounds of the lotus leaves. Additionally, flavonoids were screened as the principal active compounds involved in inhibiting tyrosine nitration in the lotus leaf extracts, with quercetin-3-O-glucuronide and quercetin-3-O-glucoside exhibiting the greatest contributions. Moreover, our results suggested that lotus leaves from three regions (Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou) exhibited the best inhibitory activity. These findings indicated the usefulness of this method for screening active compounds involved in inhibiting protein tyrosine nitration, and that similar strategies can likely be applied to evaluate the inhibitory activity against tyrosine nitration of other natural products. A novel analytical method based on HPLC-PDA coupled post-column derivatization to evaluate the inhibitory activity of tyrosine nitration in lotus leaf extracts.![]()

Abstract
Objectives: Our purpose was to investigate mucosal cell injury due to the nitric oxide (NO)-superoxide system in otitis media with effusion. Methods: We determined the levels of nitrotyrosine (NT) and NO and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in 90 middle ear fluid samples. Results: The NT concentration was significantly higher in group A (<16 years old) than in group C (>50 years old; p <.05), and significantly higher in the acute group than in the chronic group (p <.05). The NO concentration did not show a significant difference among the groups. The activity of SOD showed significant correlations with the concentrations of NT and NO and with LDH activity (p <.05). The LDH activity was significantly greater in group A than in group C (p <.05). Conclusions: Our results indicate involvement of the NO-superoxide system in the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion, showing evidence of protein and/or cell injury in the middle ear.

Abstract
Both kynurenic acid and 2-acyl lysophosphatidic acid have been postulated to be the endogenous agonists of GPR35. However, controversy remains whether alternative endogenous agonists exist. The molecular targets accounted for many nongenomic actions of thyroid hormones are mostly unknown. Here we report the agonist activity of multiple tyrosine metabolites at the GPR35. Tyrosine metabolism intermediates that contain carboxylic acid and/or catechol functional groups were first selected. Whole cell dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) assays enabled by label-free optical biosensor were then used to characterize their agonist activity in native HT-29. Molecular assays including β-arrestin translocation, ERK phosphorylation and receptor internalization confirmed that GPR35 functions as a receptor for 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine, 3,3',5-triiodothyronine, gentisate, rosmarinate, and 3-nitrotyrosine. These results suggest that multiple tyrosine metabolites are alternative endogenous ligands of GPR35, and GPR35 may represent a druggable target for treating certain diseases associated with abnormality of tyrosine metabolism.

Abstract
3-Nitrotyrosine (3NT) is known as an important indicator of nitrosative stress and has been linked to various diseases. Our aim was to develop an indirect ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method suitable for the detection of protein-bound 3NT in clinical plasma and serum samples. Nitrated protein standards and reduced protein standards were prepared. Limit of detection was determined for standards; recovery and reproducibility were determined for human plasma samples. The limit of detection for this method is 1.82±0.56 pmol/mg protein. Mean recovery of standards was 95%. 3NT concentration in plasma samples of obese and normal weight subjects was determined to be between 2 pmol/mg and 19 pmol/mg. No time-consuming sample preparation or expensive laboratory equipment is required, and applied antibodies are commercially available. Sensitivity, rapid analysis time, possibilities of high throughput applications and small sample volumes make this ELISA attractive for use in clinical laboratories.

Abstract
Nitric oxide metabolism in plant cells has a relative short history. Nitration is a chemical process which consists of introducing a nitro group (-NO(2)) into a chemical compound. In biological systems, this process has been found in different molecules such as proteins, lipids and nucleic acids that can affect its function. This mini-review offers an overview of this process with special emphasis on protein tyrosine nitration in plants and its involvement in the process of nitrosative stress.

Abstract
Tyrosine nitration is a nitric oxide-derived post-translational modification of proteins. Elevated levels of specific plasma proteins modified by tyrosine nitration have been detected during acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, including acute lung injury (ALI). In the present study we examined whether circulating immunoglobulins against nitrated proteins are present in the plasma of subjects with clinically documented ALI. Affinity chromatography using covalently linked 3-nitrotyrosine was employed to identify plasma proteins that bind to this unusual amino acid. Western blotting and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry of in-gel digested protein bands revealed that the major proteins eluted from the affinity column were IgM and IgG. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on competition of horseradish peroxidase-derivatized 3-nitrotyrosine binding to plasma with unlabeled 3-nitrotyrosine was developed and validated. Using this ELISA, the levels of immunoglobulins that recognize 3-nitrotyrosine were significantly higher in the plasma of subjects with ALI compared with both normal control subjects and subjects with major trauma who did not develop ALI (0.36+/- 0.14 versus 0.03 +/- 0.05, and 0.25 +/- 0.15; P < 0.001 and P = 0.006, respectively). These data indicate that tyrosine-nitrated proteins induce the production of specific immunoglobulins during acute phase response and inflammation.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that adipose tissue hormone, leptin, is involved in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension. However, the mechanism of hypertensive effect of leptin is incompletely understood. We investigated whether antioxidant treatment could prevent leptin-induced hypertension. Hyperleptinemia was induced in male Wistar rats by administration of exogenous leptin (0.25 mg/kg twice daily s.c. for 7 days) and separate groups were simultaneously treated with superoxide scavenger, tempol, or NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor, apocynin (2 mM in the drinking water). After 7 days, systolic blood pressure was 20.6% higher in leptin-treated than in control animals. Both tempol and apocynin prevented leptin-induced increase in blood pressure. Plasma concentration and urinary excretion of 8-isoprostanes increased in leptin-treated rats by 66.9% and 67.7%, respectively. The level of lipid peroxidation products, malonyldialdehyde + 4-hydroxyalkenals (MDA+4-HNE), was 60.3% higher in the renal cortex and 48.1% higher in the renal medulla of leptin-treated animals. Aconitase activity decreased in these regions of the kidney following leptin administration by 44.8% and 45.1%, respectively. Leptin increased nitrotyrosine concentration in plasma and renal tissue. Urinary excretion of nitric oxide metabolites (NO(x)) was 57.4% lower and cyclic GMP excretion was 32.0% lower in leptin-treated than in control group. Leptin decreased absolute and fractional sodium excretion by 44.5% and 44.7%, respectively. Co-treatment with either tempol or apocynin normalized 8-isoprostanes, MDA+4-HNE, aconitase activity, nitrotyrosine, as well as urinary excretion of NO(x), cGMP and sodium in rats receiving leptin. These results indicate that oxidative stress-induced NO deficiency is involved in the pathogenesis of leptin-induced hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress contributes to atherosclerosis, and evidence of enhanced oxidative stress exists in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). In a non-lupus murine model, we evaluated whether anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies could affect the oxidant/antioxidant balance as an early biochemical step of APS. METHODS Hybridomas producing human and murine aCL and anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I (abeta2-GPI) monoclonal antibodies were injected into three groups of five female BALB/c severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice. Corresponding hybridomas secreting non-antiphospholipid antibodies of the same isotype were employed as controls. Sera and organs were collected after 30 days. Paraoxonase (PON) activity, peroxynitrite, superoxide, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrotyrosine were measured in plasma. Expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was assessed by western blot and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS PON activity and NO (sum of nitrate and nitrite) levels were reduced in the human aCL IgG group (P<0.002 and P<0.04, respectively), whilst peroxynitrite and superoxide and expression of total antioxidant capacity of plasma were increased (P<0.01). PON and NO were decreased in the murine abeta2-GPI IgG and IgM aCL groups (P<0.03 and P<0.05, respectively). Nitrotyrosine was elevated in the human aCL IgG group (P<0.03). Western blotting showed reduced iNOS expression in the hearts of the IgG aCL group, confirmed by immunostaining. PON inversely correlated with IgG aCL titres (P<0.001), superoxide (P<0.008) and peroxynitrite levels (P<0.0009). Peroxynitrite and total IgG aCL were independent predictors of PON (P<0.0009 and P<0.02, respectively). Superoxide was the only independent predictor of NO (P<0.008) and of nitrotyrosine (P<0.002). CONCLUSION aCL antibodies are associated with the decreased PON activity and reduced NO that may occur in the preclinical phase of APS.

Abstract
3-nitrotyrosine (NO2Tyr), an L-tyrosine derivative during nitrative stress, can substitute the COOH-terminal tyrosine of alpha-tubulin, posttranslationally altering microtubular functions. Because infection of the cells by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) may require intact microtubules, we tested the hypothesis that NO2Tyr would inhibit RSV infection and intracellular signaling via nitrotyrosination of alpha-tubulin. A human bronchial epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) was incubated with RSV with or without NO2Tyr. The release of chemokines and viral particles and activation of interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF-3) were measured. Incubation with NO2Tyr increased nitrotyrosinated alpha-tubulin, and NO2Tyr colocalized with microtubules. RSV-infected cells released viral particles, RANTES, and IL-8 in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and intracellular RSV proteins coprecipitated with alpha-tubulin. NO2Tyr attenuated the RSV-induced release of RANTES, IL-8, and viral particles by 50-90% and decreased alpha-tubulin-associated RSV proteins. 3-chlorotyrosine, another L-tyrosine derivative, had no effects. NO2Tyr also inhibited the RSV-induced shift of the unphosphorylated form I of IRF-3 to the phosphorylated form II. Pre-exposure of the cells to NO(2) (0.15 ppm, 4 h), which produced diffuse protein tyrosine nitration, did not affect RSV-induced release of RANTES, IL-8, or viral particles. NO2Tyr did not affect the potential of viral spreading to the neighboring cells since the RSV titers were not decreased when the uninfected cells were cocultured with the preinfected cells in NO2Tyr-containing medium. These results indicate that NO2Tyr, by replacing the COOH-terminal tyrosine of alpha-tubulin, attenuated RSV infection, and the inhibition appeared to occur at the early stages of RSV infection.

Abstract
One electron reductions of oxygen and nitrite by xanthine oxidase form peroxynitrite. The nitrite and oxygen reducing activities of xanthine oxidase are regulated by oxygen with K(oxygen) 26 and 100 microM and K(nitrite) 1.0 and 1.1 mM with xanthine and NADH as donor substrates. Optimal peroxynitrite formation occurs at 70 microM oxygen with purine substrates. Kinetic parameters: V(max) approximately 50 nmol/min/mg and K(m) of 22, 36 and 70 microM for hypoxanthine, pterin and nitrite respectively. Peroxynitrite generation is inhibited by allopurinol, superoxide dismutase and diphenylene iodonium. A role for this enzyme activity can be found in the antibacterial activity of milk and circulating xanthine oxidase activity.

Abstract
It has been shown that diabetic patients have up to three-fold increases in plasma nitrated tyrosine. We hypothesize that nitration of plasminogen could impair its catalytic properties and be a factor in diabetic thrombogenicity. To test this hypothesis, in this study we addressed the effects of the peroxynitrite donor 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) on human streptokinase-induced plasmin activity. Given the link between glycation and oxidation we also explored whether peroxynitrite enhances the effect of fructose (1-5 mmol/l) and glucose (5-50 mmol/l) on plasminogen. We provide evidence that plasminogen, but not antithrombin III, is quickly inactivated by exogenously generated peroxynitrite (0-20 mmol/l SIN-1), in a time-and dose-dependent manner. The effect occurs even when the molar ratio of other plasma proteins and key antioxidants is respected. In our system, peroxynitrite did not enhance the effect of the sugars. Preincubation of the sugars with peroxynitrite also failed to produce any effect. This suggests that in conditions and times approaching the in vivo situation, plasminogen is more susceptible to peroxynitrite damage than to carbonyl damage. Plausibly, nitration of tyrosine should play a critical role in either conformational or functional changes. If proven in ulterior in vivo studies, this factor would provide another mechanism by which nitrosative stress participates in diabetic complications.
