Nitric oxide-dependent cell death in glioblastoma and squamous cell carcinoma via prodeath mitochondrial clustering. Eur J Cell Biol 2024; 103:151422. [PMID: 38795505 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejcb.2024.151422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Besides the fission-fusion dynamics, the cellular distribution of mitochondria has recently emerged as a critical biological parameter in regulating mitochondrial function and cell survival. We previously found that mitochondrial clustering on the nuclear periphery, or monopolar perinuclear mitochondrial clustering (MPMC), accompanies the anticancer activity of air plasma-activated medium (APAM) against glioblastoma and human squamous cell carcinoma, which is closely associated with oxidant-dependent tubulin remodeling and mitochondrial fragmentation. Accordingly, this study investigated the regulatory roles of nitric oxide (NO) in the anticancer activity of APAM. Time-lapse analysis revealed a time-dependent increase in NO accompanied by MPMC. In contrast, APAM caused minimal increases in MPMC and NO levels in nontransformed cells. NO, hydroxyl radicals, and lipid peroxide levels increased near the damaged nuclear periphery, possibly within mitochondria. NO scavenging prevented tubulin remodeling, MPMC, perinuclear oxidant production, nuclear damage, and cell death. Conversely, synthetic NO donors augmented all the prodeath events and acted synergistically with APAM. Salinomycin, an emerging drug against multidrug-resistant cancers, had similar NO-dependent effects. These results suggest that APAM and salinomycin induce NO-dependent cell death, where MPMC and oxidative mitochondria play critical roles. Our findings encourage further investigations on MPMC as a potential target for NO-driven anticancer agents against drug-resistant cancers.

Clin Sci (Lond) 2024; 138:599-614. [PMID: 38739452 PMCID: PMC11130553 DOI: 10.1042/cs20231752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
AIM Acute kidney injury (AKI) increases the risk for progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). MicroRNA (miR)-486-5p protects against kidney ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in mice, although its long-term effects on the vasculature and development of CKD are unknown. We studied whether miR-486-5p would prevent the AKI to CKD transition in rat, and affect vascular function. METHODS Adult male rats were subjected to bilateral kidney IR followed by i.v. injection of liposomal-packaged miR-486-5p (0.5 mg/kg). Kidney function and histologic injury were assessed after 24 h and 10 weeks. Kidney endothelial protein levels were measured by immunoblot and immunofluorescence, and mesenteric artery reactivity was determined by wire myography. RESULTS In rats with IR, miR-486-5p blocked kidney endothelial cell increases in intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), reduced neutrophil infiltration and histologic injury, and normalized plasma creatinine (P<0.001). However, miR-486-5p attenuated IR-induced kidney endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression (P<0.05). At 10 weeks, kidneys from rats with IR alone had decreased peritubular capillary density and increased interstitial collagen deposition (P<0.0001), and mesenteric arteries showed impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation (P<0.001). These changes were inhibited by miR-486-5p. Delayed miR-486-5p administration (96 h, 3 weeks after IR) had no impact on kidney fibrosis, capillary density, or endothelial function. CONCLUSION In rats, administration of miR-486-5p early after kidney IR prevents injury, and protects against CKD development and systemic endothelial dysfunction. These protective effects are associated with inhibition of endothelial ICAM-1 and occur despite reduction in eNOS. miR-486-5p holds promise for the prevention of ischemic AKI and its complications.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha protects a fibrotic liver from partial hepatectomy-induced advanced liver injury through regulating cell cycle arrest. Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol 2021; 130:254-267. [PMID: 34845850 PMCID: PMC9300180 DOI: 10.1111/bcpt.13697] [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: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background A fibrotic liver may have an impaired regenerative capacity. Because liver transplantation is donor limited, understanding the regenerative ability of a fibrotic liver is important. Methods A two‐thirds partial hepatectomy (PH) was performed in C57Bl/6 mice with or without carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) treatment. Liver regeneration in the fibrotic liver after PH was assessed by the intrahepatic expression of the cell cycle regulators p53, p21, cyclin D1, c‐Fos and CDK2 using Western blot analysis. In addition, the expression of PGC‐1α and the cell proliferation‐related proteins PCNA and phosphate histone H3 was determined by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining analyses. Histone epigenetic modification of the PGC‐1α promoter was investigated through chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and reverse transcription–quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) assays. The impact of PGC‐1α on liver regeneration after PH was further evaluated in PGC‐1α‐knockout mice. Results A decreased expression of PGC‐1α and liver regeneration‐related genes in the fibrotic liver was detected after a PH. Histone acetylation at the PGC‐1α promoter led to increases in PGC‐1α expression and the survival rate in the fibrotic group after a PH. PGC‐1α‐mediated liver regeneration was further demonstrated in PGC‐1αf/falbcre+/0 mice. Conclusion Targeting PGC‐1α may represent a strategy to improve the treatment of PH in patients with liver fibrosis.

Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2021; 320:H630-H641. [PMID: 33164581 PMCID: PMC8082788 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00389.2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Revised: 10/07/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Peroxynitrite (PN), generated from the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide, is implicated in the pathogenesis of ischemic and neurodegenerative brain injuries. Mitochondria produce NO from mitochondrial NO synthases and superoxide by the electron transport chain. Our objective was to detect the generation of PN of mitochondrial origin and characterize its effects on mitochondrial respiratory function. Freshly isolated brain nonsynaptosomal mitochondria from C57Bl/6 (wild type, WT) and endothelial NO synthase knockout (eNOS-KO) mice were treated with exogenous PN (0.1, 1, 5 µmol/L) or a PN donor (SIN-1; 50 µmol/L) or a PN scavenger (FeTMPyP; 2.5 µmol/L). Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was measured using Agilent Seahorse XFe24 analyzer and mitochondrial respiratory parameters were calculated. Mitochondrial membrane potential, superoxide, and PN were determined from rhodamine 123, dihydroethidium, and DAX-J2 PON green fluorescence measurements, respectively. Mitochondrial protein nitrotyrosination was determined by Western blots. Both exogenous PN and SIN-1 decreased respiratory function in WT isolated brain mitochondria. FeTMPyP enhanced state III and state IVo mitochondrial respiration in both WT and eNOS-KO mitochondria. FeTMPyP also elevated state IIIu respiration in eNOS-KO mitochondria. Unlike PN, neither SIN-1 nor FeTMPyP depolarized the mitochondria. Although mitochondrial protein nitrotyrosination was unaffected by SIN-1 or FeTMPyP, FeTMPyP reduced mitochondrial PN levels. Mitochondrial superoxide levels were increased by FeTMPyP but were unaffected by PN or SIN-1. Thus, we present the evidence of functionally significant PN generation in isolated brain mitochondria. Mitochondrial PN activity was physiologically relevant in WT mice and pathologically significant under conditions with eNOS deficiency.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Mitochondria generate superoxide and nitric oxide that could potentially react with each other to produce PN. We observed eNOS and nNOS immunoreactivity in isolated brain and heart mitochondria with pharmacological inhibition of nNOS found to modulate the mitochondrial respiratory function. This study provides evidence of generation of functionally significant PN in isolated brain mitochondria that affects respiratory function under physiological conditions. Importantly, the mitochondrial PN levels and activity were exaggerated in the eNOS-deficient mice, suggesting its pathological significance.

Abstract
Prostaglandin pathway plays multiple roles in various physiological and pathological conditions. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), a key enzyme in the degradation of prostaglandins, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice. In this study, male C57BL/6J mice were injected intraperitoneally with LPS (10 mg/kg). SW033291, a potent small-molecule inhibitor of 15-PGDH, was used to investigate the therapeutic potential of 15-PGDH inhibition on LPS-induced AKI. We discovered that the expression of 15-PGDH protein was upregulated in kidneys of LPS-stimulated mice, and it was mainly localized in the cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells in renal cortex and outer medulla. SW033291 administration improved the survival rates of mice and attenuated renal injury of mice that were challenged by LPS. Additionally, inhibition of 15-PGDH also reversed LPS-induced apoptosis of renal cells, increased expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and downregulated expression of Fas, caspase-3, and caspase-8. Pretreatment of SW033291 enhanced autophagy in kidney cells after LPS stimulation. Our data also showed that inhibition of 15-PGDH relieved the level of lipid peroxidation and downregulated NADPH oxidase subunits induced by LPS in mice kidneys but had no significant effect on the release of inflammatory factors, such as IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and MCP-1. Our study demonstrated that inhibition of 15-PGDH could alleviate LPS-induced AKI by regulating the apoptosis, autophagy, and oxidative stress rather than inflammation in mice.

Abstract
Background Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role in renal fibrosis. We hypothesize that mitochondrial DNA damage and DNA deletions caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) during renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) might lead to EMT in renal fibrosis. Methods Rats were classified into seven groups: sham-operation, IRI, postconditioning (POC), I/R + apocynin, POC + apocynin, I/R + Mito-Tempol (Mito-T) and POC + Mito-T. These groups were monitored for up to 3 months. Serum creatinine, renal histopathology changes and mitochondrial oxidative stress were examined. We also treated NRK52E cells with 200 μM hydrogen peroxide to evaluate the effect of ROS on EMT development, and with 400 ng/mL ethidium bromide to assess the extent of mitochondrial DNA depletion during EMT. Results Three months after IRI injury, the IRI group showed significant renal fibrosis, increased generation of ROS and higher mitochondrial DNA damage and DNA deletions. However, the severity of renal fibrosis and mitochondrial oxidative stress were markedly attenuated in the POC group. Studies on NRK52E cells showed that mitochondrial DNA damage triggered the development of EMT. Conclusions Mitochondrial DNA damage induced by elevated ROS production likely leads to EMT, and might further result in renal fibrosis. POC treatment might attenuate the degree of renal fibrosis by protecting mitochondria from oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial DNA damage.

Abstract
Ischaemia‐reperfusion injury (I/RI) is a common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). The molecular basis underlying I/RI‐induced renal pathogenesis and measures to prevent or reverse this pathologic process remains to be resolved. Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) is reported to have protective roles of myocardial infarction as well as in several other I/R related disorders. Herein we present evidence that FGF2 exhibits robust protective effect against renal histological and functional damages in a rat I/RI model. FGF2 treatment greatly alleviated I/R‐induced acute renal dysfunction and largely blunted I/R‐induced elevation in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, and also the number of TUNEL‐positive tubular cells in the kidney. Mechanistically, FGF2 substantially ameliorated renal I/RI by mitigating several mitochondria damaging parameters including pro‐apoptotic alteration of Bcl2/Bax expression, caspase‐3 activation, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and KATP channel integrity. Of note, the protective effect of FGF2 was significantly compromised by the KATP channel blocker 5‐HD. Interestingly, I/RI alone resulted in mild activation of FGFR, whereas FGF2 treatment led to more robust receptor activation. More significantly, post‐I/RI administration of FGF2 also exhibited robust protection against I/RI by reducing cell apoptosis, inhibiting the release of damage‐associated molecular pattern molecule HMBG1 and activation of its downstream inflammatory cytokines such as IL‐1α, IL‐6 and TNF α. Taken together, our data suggest that FGF2 offers effective protection against I/RI and improves animal survival by attenuating mitochondrial damage and HMGB1‐mediated inflammatory response. Therefore, FGF2 has the potential to be used for the prevention and treatment of I/RI‐induced AKI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The aim of the present study was to test the potential protective effects of the organic vanadium salt bis (maltolato) oxovanadium (BMOV; 15 mg/kg) in the context of renal ischemia/reperfusion (30 min of ischemia) and its effects on renal oxygenation and renal function in the acute phase of reperfusion (up to 90 min post-ischemia).
Methods
Ischemia was established in anesthetized and mechanically ventilated male Wistar rats by renal artery clamping. Renal microvascular and venous oxygenation were measured using phosphorimetry. Creatinine clearance rate, sodium reabsorption, and renal oxygen handling efficiency were considered markers for renal function.
Results
The main findings were that BMOV did not affect the systemic and renal hemodynamic and oxygenation variables and partially protected renal sodium reabsorption.
Conclusions
Pretreatment with the organic vanadium compound BMOV did not protect the kidney from I/R injury.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) has been reported to be associated with augmented reactive oxygen radicals and cytokines. Currently, we aimed to examine the influence of fluoxetine, which is already used as a preoperative anxiolytic, in the context of IR induced by occlusion of infrarenal abdominal aorta (60 min of ischemia) and its effects on renal oxidative status, inflammation, renal function, and cellular integrity in reperfusion (120 min post-ischemia). Male rats were randomly assigned as control, IR, and pretreated groups. The pretreated group animals received fluoxetine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) once daily for 3 days. Renal tissue oxidative stress, myeloperoxidase activity, proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6), histology, and function were assessed. As an anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-10 was also assessed. IR led to a significant increase in lipid hydroperoxide, malondialdehyde, and pro-oxidant antioxidant balance and decrease in superoxide dismutase activity and ferric reducing/antioxidant power level (p < 0.05), but fluoxetine was able to restore these parameters. High concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and myeloperoxidase activity caused by IR were significantly decreased in kidney tissue with fluoxetine. In addition, interleukin-10 levels were high in fluoxetine pretreated group. IR resulted in disrupted cellular integrity, infiltration of tissue with leukocytes, and decreased serum creatinine-urea levels (p < 0.05). Fluoxetine significantly restored impaired redox balance and inflammation parameters of rats subjected to IR to baseline values. This beneficial effect of fluoxetine on redox balance might be addressed to an improvement in renal function.

SIGNIFICANCE Respiring mitochondria are a significant site for reactions involving reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that contribute to irreversible cellular, structural, and functional damage leading to multiple pathological conditions. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is a critical component of the antioxidant system tasked with protecting the oxidant-sensitive mitochondrial compartment from oxidative stress. Since global knockout of MnSOD results in significant cardiac and neuronal damage leading to early postnatal lethality, this approach has limited use for studying the mechanisms of oxidant stress and the development of disease in specific tissues lacking MnSOD. To circumvent this problem, a number of investigators have employed the Cre/loxP system to precisely knockout MnSOD in individual tissues. RECENT ADVANCES Multiple tissue and organ-specific Cre-expressing mice have been generated, which greatly enhance the specificity of MnSOD knockout in tissues and organ systems that were once difficult, if not impossible to study. CRITICAL ISSUES Evaluating the contribution of MnSOD deficiency to oxidant-mediated mitochondrial damage requires careful consideration of the promoter system used for creating the tissue-specific knockout animal, in addition to the collection and interpretation of multiple indices of oxidative stress and damage. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Expanded use of well-characterized tissue-specific promoter elements and inducible systems to drive the Cre/loxP recombinational events will lead to a spectrum of MnSOD tissue knockout models, and a clearer understanding of the role of MnSOD in preventing mitochondrial dysfunction in human disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a major role in causing injury in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage. We propose that increased mitochondrial ROS production is likely to damage mtDNA, causing further injury to mitochondria, and postconditioning (POC) may ameliorate kidney I/R injury by mitigating mitochondrial damage. METHODS Rats were divided into seven groups: (i) Sham-operated animals with an unconstricted renal artery; (ii) Sham + 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD); (iii) I/R; (iv) I/R + 5-HD; (v) POC; (vi) Sham POC and (vii) POC + 5-HD. Renal injury, oxidative DNA damage, mtDNA deletions, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and expression of the ATP-sensitive K(+) (KATP) channel subunit Kir6.2 were evaluated. RESULTS Following 1 h of reperfusion, animals in the I/R group exhibited increased ROS, oxidative mtDNA damage shown by 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine staining, multiple base pair deletions and decreased MMP. However, POC rats exhibited less ROS, oxidative mtDNA damage and deletions and improved MMP. After 2 days of reperfusion, serum creatinine was elevated in I/R rats and the number of TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeled-positive tubular cells was increased and was associated with activation of caspase-3. Therefore, POC prevented the deleterious effects of I/R injury. Furthermore, the expression of mitochondrial Kir6.2 was widely distributed in renal tubular epithelial cells in Sham and POC rats and was lower in I/R rats. All of the protective effects of POC were reversed by the K(+) (KATP) channel blocker 5-HD. CONCLUSION POC may attenuate I/R injury by reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress and mtDNA damage and sustaining MMP.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a well known consequence of cancer chemotherapy. Cisplatin-based combinations are standard regimens in the therapy of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Administration of cisplatin-containing chemotherapy causes significant oxidative and nitrosative stress in some patients. Cardiac blood biomarkers can be used to evaluate cardiac status, may help to identify patients at risk myocardial damage evaluation and are able to detect subclinical, early-stage cisplatin-induced cardiotoxicity. The relevance of cardiovascular complications in cancer patients and identification of individual risk factors for developing cardiovascular toxicity merit further evaluation and a longer follow-up is needed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in several cellular processes as a signaling molecule and also as a source of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). NO is produced by three isoenzymes called nitric oxide synthases (NOS), all present in skeletal muscle. While neuronal NOS (nNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) are isoforms constitutively expressed, inducible NOS (iNOS) is mainly expressed during inflammatory responses. Recent studies have demonstrated that NO is also involved in the mitochondrial biogenesis pathway, having PGC-1α as the main signaling molecule. Increased NO synthesis has been demonstrated in the sarcolemma of skeletal muscle fiber and NO can also reversibly inhibit cytochrome c oxidase (Complex IV of the respiratory chain). Investigation on cultured skeletal myotubes treated with NO donors, NO precursors or NOS inhibitors have also showed a bimodal effect of NO that depends on the concentration used. The present review will discuss the new insights on NO roles on mitochondrial biogenesis and function in skeletal muscle. We will also focus on potential therapeutic strategies based on NO precursors or analogs to treat patients with myopathies and mitochondrial deficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress may affect the functionality of placental mitochondria, thus contributing to serious complications. For this reason research of protective substances is of great importance. Our aim was to evaluate, in mitochondria isolated from human term placentas, the effect of in vitro glutamate supplementation on their susceptibility to oxidation, on the chemico-physical characteristics of mitochondrial membranes, and on peroxidase and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activities. METHODS The study was performed on mitochondria isolated from 20 healthy human term placentas. Specific exclusion criteria were: conception by assisted reproduction, chromosomal or other fetal, uterine or placental anomalies, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), a history of smoking and hypertension, proteinuria, renal, cardiovascular, hepatic, and endocrine disease, metabolic disorders, and current infection or history of all types of infection. RESULTS Incubation with glutamate determined a reduced susceptibility to oxidative stress, an increase in mitochondrial membrane fluidity, and a decrease of both peroxidase and NOS activities. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the observed results, we can hypothesize a role for glutamate in the control of lipid peroxidation extent in physiological pregnancies, as well as in the prevention of free radical-linked complications that can affect the health of both mother and fetus.

Abstract
CKD (chronic kidney disease) is a life-threatening pathology, often requiring HD (haemodialysis) and characterized by high OS (oxidative stress), inflammation and perturbation of vascular endothelium. HD patients have increased levels of vWF (von Willebrand factor), a large protein (~240 kDa) released as UL-vWF (ultra large-vWF polymers, molecular mass ~20000-50000 kDa) from vascular endothelial cells and megakaryocytes, and responsible for the initiation of primary haemostasis. The pro-haemostatic potential of vWF increases with its length, which is proteolytically regulated by ADAMTS-13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 13), a zinc-protease cleaving vWF at the single Tyr1605-Met1606 bond, and by LSPs (leucocyte serine proteases), released by activated PMNs (polymorphonuclear cells) during bacterial infections. Previous studies have shown that in vitro oxidation of Met1606 hinders vWF cleavage by ADAMTS-13, resulting in the accumulation of UL-vWF that are not only more pro-thrombotic than shorter vWF oligomers, but also more efficient in binding to bacterial adhesins during sepsis. Notably, HD patients have increased risk of developing dramatic cardiovascular and septic complications, whose underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In the present study, we first purified vWF from HD patients and then chemically characterized its oxidative state. Interestingly, HD-vWF contains high carbonyl levels and increased proportion of UL-vWF polymers that are also more resistant to ADAMTS-13. Using TMS (targeted MS) techniques, we estimated that HD-vWF contains >10% of Met1606 in the sulfoxide form. We conclude that oxidation of Met1606, impairing ADAMTS-13 cleavage, results in the accumulation of UL-vWF polymers, which recruit and activate platelets more efficiently and bind more tightly to bacterial adhesins, thus contributing to the development of thrombotic and septic complications in CKD.

Abstract
Critical illness hyperglycemia (CIH) is common in pediatric and adult intensive care units (ICUs). Children undergoing surgical repair or palliation of congenital cardiac defects are particularly at risk for CIH and its occurrence has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality in this population. Strict glycemic control through the use of intensive insulin therapy (IIT) has been shown to improve outcomes in some adult and pediatric studies, yet these findings have sparked controversy. The practice of strict glycemic control has been slow in extending to pediatric ICUs because of the documented increase in the incidence of hypoglycemia in patients treated with IIT. Protocol driven approaches with more liberal glycemic targets have been successfully validated in general and cardiac critical care pediatric patients with low rates of hypoglycemia. It is unknown whether a therapeutic benefit is obtained by keeping patients in this more liberal glycemic control target. Definitive randomized controlled trials of IIT utilizing these targets in critically ill children are ongoing.

Abstract
Oxidant damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is a major contributor to the cellular damage seen in numerous types of renal injury. Resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) is a phytoalexin found naturally in many common food sources. The anti-oxidant properties of resveratrol are of particular interest because of the fundamental role that oxidant damage plays in numerous forms of kidney injury. To examine whether resveratrol could block damage to the renal epithelial cell line, mIMCD-3, cells were exposed to the peroxynitrite donor 5-amino-3-(4-morpholinyl)-1,2,3-oxadiazolium chloride (SIN-1). Resveratrol produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of cytotoxicity induced by SIN-1. To examine the mechanism of protection, resveratrol was incubated with authentic peroxynitrite and found to block nitration of bovine serum albumin with an EC(50) value of 22.7 microM, in contrast to the known RNS scavenger, N-acetyl-l-cysteine, which inhibited nitration with an EC(50) value of 439 microM. These data suggested that resveratrol could provide functional protection by directly scavenging peroxynitrite. To examine whether resveratrol was a substrate for peroxynitrite oxidation, resveratrol was reacted with authentic peroxynitrite. Resveratrol nitration products and dimers were detected using liquid chromatograph with tandem electrospray mass spectrometry. Similar products were detected in the media of cells treated with SIN-1 and resveratrol. Taken collectively, the data suggest that resveratrol is able to provide functional protection of renal tubular cells, at least in part, by directly scavenging the RNS peroxynitrite. This property of resveratrol may contribute to the understanding of its anti-oxidant activities.

Abstract
Ischemia is the most common cause of acute renal failure. Ischemic-induced renal tissue hypoxia is thought to be a major component in the development of acute renal failure in promoting the initial tubular damage. Renal oxygenation originates from a balance between oxygen supply and consumption. Recent investigations have provided new insights into alterations in oxygenation pathways in the ischemic kidney. These findings have identified a central role of microvascular dysfunction related to an imbalance between vasoconstrictors and vasodilators, endothelial damage and endothelium-leukocyte interactions, leading to decreased renal oxygen supply. Reduced microcirculatory oxygen supply may be associated with altered cellular oxygen consumption (dysoxia), because of mitochondrial dysfunction and activity of alternative oxygen-consuming pathways. Alterations in oxygen utilization and/or supply might therefore contribute to the occurrence of organ dysfunction. This view places oxygen pathways' alterations as a potential central player in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury. Both in regulation of oxygen supply and consumption, nitric oxide seems to play a pivotal role. Furthermore, recent studies suggest that, following acute ischemic renal injury, persistent tissue hypoxia contributes to the development of chronic renal dysfunction. Adaptative mechanisms to renal hypoxia may be ineffective in more severe cases and lead to the development of chronic renal failure following ischemia-reperfusion. This paper is aimed at reviewing the current insights into oxygen transport pathways, from oxygen supply to oxygen consumption in the kidney and from the adaptation mechanisms to renal hypoxia. Their role in the development of ischemia-induced renal damage and ischemic acute renal failure are discussed.

Abstract
Renal ischemia was induced in the rat by constriction of the renal artery for 45 min, and the ability of the ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channel opener diazoxide (DZ) to ameliorate renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury was evaluated. In this model, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were elevated 2 days after I/R injury but returned closer to normal levels by 7 days after reperfusion. Histological staining for reactive oxygen species (ROS) was clearly positive and oxidized DNA, detected by the presence of the stable adduct 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, was clearly present in the cytoplasm of tubular cells after 1 h of reperfusion and declined 7 days after reperfusion. This finding was confirmed by ELISA, which detected 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in the mitochondrial fraction of kidney homogenates. Despite evidence of improved function measured by blood urea nitrogen and creatinine 7 days after reperfusion, the early changes in tubules were alarming. Mitochondrial DNA showed the common deletion, and the number of TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end label-positive tubular cells increased. Activation of caspase-3 continued, and abnormal levels of ROS were found in the mitochondrial fraction of cellular homogenates. Treatment with DZ before ischemia reduced or prevented the acute and subacute deleterious effects associated with renal I/R injury. We conclude that excess production of ROS by mitochondria on reperfusion is a major upstream event in renal reperfusion injury and that DZ functioned by preventing ROS accumulation in the mitochondria after I/R injury, thereby reducing oxidative stress as measured by the presence of oxidized mitochondrial DNA and features of apoptosis.

Abstract
The present study shows that rat liver and brain mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase (mtNOS) are functionally associated with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I. When complex I is activated, mtNOS exerts high activity and generates nitric oxide, whereas inactivation of complex I leads mtNOS to abandon its NOS activity. Functional association of mtNOS with complex I is potentially important in regulating mtNOS activity and mitochondrial functions.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to delineate the molecular mechanisms for mitochondrial contribution to oxidative stress induced by hypoxia and reoxygenation in the heart. The present study introduces a novel model allowing real-time study of mitochondria under hypoxia and reoxygenation, and describes the significance of intramitochondrial calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial nitric oxide synthase (mtNOS) for oxidative stress. The present study shows that incubating isolated rat heart mitochondria under hypoxia followed by reoxygenation, but not hypoxia per se, causes cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, oxidative modification of mitochondrial lipids and proteins, and inactivation of mitochondrial enzymes susceptible to inactivation by peroxynitrite. These alterations were prevented when mtNOS was inhibited or mitochondria were supplemented with antioxidant peroxynitrite scavengers. The present study shows mitochondria independent of other cellular components respond to hypoxia/reoxygenation by elevating intramitochondrial ionized calcium and stimulating mtNOS. The present study proposes a crucial role for heart mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and mtNOS in oxidative stress induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress has recently been found to play a key role in post-ischemic kidney damage. We tested the hypothesis that oxidative kidney damage due to perinatal hypoxia in preterm newborns is associated with an increased production of oxidative free radicals in plasma. METHODS Blood and urine samples were obtained at birth and on days 7 and 14, from 55 preterm newborns, without any known congenital abnormalities. Total hydroperoxides (TH) and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) as indices of oxidative stress, xanthine (Xa) and hypoxanthine (Hx) as indices of hypoxia, alpha1-microglobulin and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) as indices of kidney damage were assayed. RESULTS Statistically significant correlations (p<0.05) were found between biochemical markers of hypoxia, oxidative stress and proximal tubules damage at days 7 and 14. CONCLUSIONS Perinatal oxidative stress is associated with a variable degree of kidney damage detectable at birth and continuing up to 14 days.

Abstract
During renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, apoptosis has been reported as a very important contributor to final kidney damage. The determinant role of cytoskeleton derangement in the development of apoptosis has been previously reported, but a clear description of the different mechanisms involved in this process has not been yet provided. The aim of our study was to know the role of peroxynitrite as an inductor of cytoskeleton derangement and apoptosis during renal I/R. Based on a rat kidney I/R model, using experiments in which both the actin cytoskeleton and peroxynitrite generation were pharmacologically manipulated, results indicate that the peroxynitrite produced during the I/R-derived oxidative stress state is able to provoke cytoskeleton derangement and apoptosis development. Thus control of peroxynitrite generation during I/R could be an effective tool for the improvement of cytoskeleton damage and reduction of apoptosis incidence in renal I/R injury.

Abstract
The kidneys are second only to the heart in terms of O2 consumption; however, relative to other organs, the kidneys receive a very high blood flow and oxygen extraction in the healthy kidney is low. Despite low arterial-venous O2 extraction, the kidneys are particularly susceptible to hypoxic injury and much interest surrounds the role of renal hypoxia in the development and progression of both acute and chronic renal disease. Numerous regulatory mechanisms have been identified that act to maintain renal parenchymal oxygenation within homeostatic limits in the in vivo kidney. However, the processes by which many of these mechanisms act to modulate renal oxygenation and the factors that influence these processes remain poorly understood. A number of such mechanisms specific to the kidney are reviewed herein, including the relationship between renal blood flow and O2 consumption, pre- and post-glomerular arterial-venous O2 shunting, tubulovascular cross-talk, the differential control of regional kidney blood flow and the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism. The roles of these mechanisms in the control of renal oxygenation, as well as how dysfunction of these mechanisms may lead to renal hypoxia, are discussed.

Abstract
Mitochondria are intracellular organelles with a variety of vital functions, including the provision of energy in the form of adenosine 5'-triphosphate. Increasingly, we are becoming more aware of the importance of mitochondrial dysfunction in a number of common medical conditions. In this review and overview, we focus on the growing evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in either the etiology or underlying pathophysiology of a broad spectrum of renal diseases, including acute renal injury due to ischemia-reperfusion injury, renal Fanconi syndrome, and glomerular disorders such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. In addition, mitochondrial dysfunction may also contribute to the growing burden of chronic kidney disease seen in our aging population, which is still largely unexplained. Unfortunately, at present, our ability to diagnose and treat renal disorders related to mitochondrial dysfunction is limited, and further work in this field is needed.
