Abstract
Significance: Both redox and pH are important regulatory processes that underpin cell physiological functions, in addition to influencing cancer cell development and tumor progression. The thioredoxin (Trx) and glutathione redox systems and the carbonic anhydrase (CA) proteins are considered key regulators of cellular redox and pH, respectively, with components of the Trx system and CAs regarded as cancer therapeutic targets. However, the redox and pH axis in cancer cells is an underexplored topic of research. Recent Advances: Structural studies of a CA family member, CA3, localized two of its five cysteine residues to the protein surface. Redox-regulated modifications to CA3 have been identified, including glutathionylation. CA3 has been shown to bind to other proteins, including B cell lymphoma-2-associated athanogene 3, and squalene epoxidase, which can modulate autophagy and proinflammatory signaling, respectively, in cancer cells. Critical Issues: CA3 has also been associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition processes, which promote cancer cell metastasis, whereas CA3 overexpression activates the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway, which upregulates cell growth and inhibits autophagy. It is not yet known if CA3 modulates cancer progression through its reported antioxidant functions. Future Directions: CA3 is one of the least studied CA isozymes. Further studies are required to assess the cellular antioxidant role of CA3 and its impact on cancer progression. Identification of other binding partners is also required, including whether CA3 binds to Trx in human cells. The development of specific CA3 inhibitors will facilitate these functional studies and allow CA3 to be investigated as a cancer therapeutic target.

Abstract
Considering the unrecognised physio-pathological role of human carbonic anhydrase III (hCA III), a structure-based drug design was set up to identify the first-in-class potent and selective inhibitors of this neglected isoform. hCA III targeting was planned considering a unique feature of its active site among the other hCA isoforms, i.e. the Leu198/Phe198 substitution which interferes with the binding of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and other inhibitors. Thus, new aliphatic primary sulfonamides possessing long and flexible (CH2)nSO2NH2 moieties were designed to coordinate the zinc(II) ion, bypassing the bulky Phe198 residue. They incorporate 1,2,3-triazole linkers which connect the tail moieties to the sulfonamide head, enhancing thus the contacts at the active site entrance. Some of these compounds act as nanomolar and selective inhibitors of hCA III over other isoforms. Docking/molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate ligand/target interactions for these sulfonamides which might improve our understanding of the physio-pathological roles of hCA III.

Abstract
The global average temperature breaks the record every year, and this unprecedented speed at which it is unfolding is causing serious climate change which in turn impacts the lives of humans and other living organisms. Thus, it is imperative to take immediate action to limit global warming. Increased CO2 emission from the industrial sector that relies on fossil fuels is the major culprit. Mitigating global warming is an uphill battle that involves an integration of technologies such as switching to renewable energy, increasing the carbon sink capacity, and implementing carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) on major sources of CO2 emissions. Among all these methods, CCS is globally accepted as a potential technology to address this climate change. CCS using carbonic anhydrase (CA) is gaining momentum due to its advantages over other conventional CCS technologies. CA is a metalloenzyme that catalyses a fundamental reaction for life, i.e. the interconversion of bicarbonate and protons from carbon dioxide and water. The practical application of CA requires stable CAs operating under harsh operational conditions. CAs from extremophilic microbes are the potential candidates for the sequestration of CO2 and conversion into useful by-products. The soluble free form of CA is expensive, unstable, and non-reusable in an industrial setup. Immobilization of CA on various support materials can provide a better alternative for application in the sequestration of CO2. The present review provides insight into several types of CAs, their distinctive characteristics, sources, and recent developments in CA immobilization strategies for application in CO2 sequestration.

Emerging role of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Clin Sci (Lond) 2021; 135:1233-1249.

Abstract
Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) was clinically exploited for decades, as most modern diuretics were obtained considering as lead molecule acetazolamide, the prototypical CA inhibitor (CAI). The discovery and characterization of multiple human CA (hCA) isoforms, 15 of which being known today, led to new applications of their inhibitors. They include widely clinically used antiglaucoma, antiepileptic and antiobesity agents, antitumor drugs in clinical development, as well as drugs for the management of acute mountain sickness and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Emerging roles of several CA isoforms in areas not generally connected to these enzymes were recently documented, such as in neuropathic pain, cerebral ischemia, rheumatoid arthritis, oxidative stress and Alzheimer's disease. Proof-of-concept studies thus emerged by using isoform-selective inhibitors, which may lead to new clinical applications in such areas. Relevant preclinical models are available for these pathologies due to the availability of isoform-selective CAIs for all human isoforms, belonging to novel classes of compounds, such as coumarins, sulfocoumarins, dithiocarbamates, benzoxaboroles, apart the classical sulfonamide inhibitors. The inhibition of CAs from pathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoans or nematodes started recently to be considered for obtaining anti-infectives with a new mechanism of action.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) have been used to diminish the deleterious effects associated with aging by preventing the destruction of cartilage, bone, discs, and skin. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-aging effect of a newly prepared GAG derived from bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) queen (BTQG, 10 mg/kg). Gryllus bimaculatus (Gb, cricket) GAG (GbG, 10 mg/kg) or glucosamine sulfate (GS) was used as a positive control. N-glycans derived from BTQG contained hexose polymers including Hex4HexNAc3Pen1, Hex9, and Hex5HexNAc3dHex2 as the primary components. The GAGs were intraperitoneally administered to 14-month-old aged rats for 1 month. BTQG reduced the serum levels of free fatty acid, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), showing hepato-and renal-protective effects with anti-lipidemic activities comparable to GS. The changes of gene expression profile of liver tissue by cDNA microarray showed the simultaneous upregulation of 36 genes in the BTQG-treated rat group compared to the control group, including secretogranin II (Scg2), Activator (AP)-1-regulated protein-related reactive oxygen species (ROS) DNA damage repair, metallothionein 1a, and alpha-2 macroglobulin. The BTQG-treated group also showed 417 downregulated genes, including vimentin, moesin, and mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase. Insect glycosaminoglycan from the bumblebee (B. terrestris) queen may help decelerate the aging stage by ameliorating the aging effects on circulation, and liver and kidney function.

Abstract
Carbonic Anhydrase III (CAIII) belongs to a member of the alpha Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) family. Although some CA members are strongly up-regulated by HIF1-α, it is not known about the transcriptional regulation of CAIII in prostate cancer cells, PCa. Therefore, we aimed to identify regulatory regions important for the regulation of CAIII gene under hypoxic conditions in human prostate cancer cells (PC3). The present study, for the first time, demonstrated that the chemically mimicked hypoxic condition led to the induced CAIII mRNA and protein expression in prostate cancer cells. Transcriptional regulation of CAIII was investigated by transient transfection assay that indicates that the most active promoter activity was in the region of P2 -699/+86. Hypoxic condition also upregulates the basal activity of for P1;-941/+86 and P2;-699/+86 constructs containing putative Hypoxia Response Element (HRE) region located in -268/-252. EMSA analysis of HRE located in -268/-252 bases, showed one DNA-protein binding complexes. Competition assays indicated this complex is resulted from HIF1α interactions. In addition, site-directed mutagenesis of potential HIF1α binding sites diminished a DNA-protein complex. These findings suggest that CAIII is a hypoxia-regulated gene and valuable for targeting of prostate cancer tumors in hypoxic condition.

Abstract
Estrogen‑induced intrahepatic cholestasis (EIC) has increased incidence during pregnancy, and within women taking oral contraception and postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy. However, the pathology underlying EIC is not well understood. The aim of the present study was to identify key pathways and candidate genes in estrogen‑induced intrahepatic cholestasis (EIC) that may be potential targets for diagnosis and treatment. A whole‑genome microarray (4x44K) analysis of a 17α‑ethinylestradiol (EE)‑induced EIC rat liver model was performed. Bioinformatics‑based methods were used to identify key pathways and candidate genes associated with EIC. The candidate genes were validated using a reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. A total of 455 genes were differentially expressed (P<0.05 and fold change >2.0) following EE treatment, including 225 downregulated genes and 230 upregulated genes. Sulfotransferase family 1E member 1, cytochrome P450 family 3 subfamily A member 2, carbonic anhydrase 3, leukotriene C4 synthase and ADAM metallopeptidase domain 8 were the 5 candidate genes identified to be differentially expressed and involved in the metabolism of estrogens and bile acids and the regulation of inflammation and oxidative stress. The Analyses of Gene Ontology enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways and protein‑protein interaction network associated‑modules identified several key pathways involved in the homeostasis of lipids and bile acids and in AMPK, p53 and Wnt signaling. These key pathways and candidate genes may have critical roles in the pathogenesis of EIC. In addition, reversing the abnormal expression of candidate genes or restoring the dysfunction of key pathways may provide therapeutic opportunities for patients with EIC.

Abstract
Under oxidative stress conditions, several constitutive cellular defense systems are activated, which involve both enzymatic systems and molecules with antioxidant properties such as glutathione and vitamins. In addition, proteins containing reactive sulfhydryl groups may eventually undergo reversible redox modifications whose products act as protective shields able to avoid further permanent molecular oxidative damage either in stressful conditions or under pathological circumstances. After the recovery of normal redox conditions, the reduced state of protein sulfhydryl groups is restored. In this context, carbonic anhydrases (CAs) III and VII, which are human metalloenzymes catalyzing the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and proton, have been identified to play an antioxidant role in cells where oxidative damage occurs. Both proteins are mainly localized in tissues characterized by a high rate of oxygen consumption, and contain on their molecular surface two reactive cysteine residues eventually undergoing S-glutathionylation. Here, we will provide an overview on the molecular and functional features of these proteins highlighting their implications into molecular processes occurring during oxidative stress conditions.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) is expressed selectively in type I (slow‑twitch) myofibers. To investigate the association between changes in the expression of CAIII and skeletal muscle structure following denervation, the present study stained adjacent sections of skeletal muscle for ATPase and immunohistochemically for CAIII. In addition, differences in the protein expression and phosphatase activity of CAIII were examined by western blot and phosphatase staining between rat soleus and extensol digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, which are composed of predominantly slow‑ and fast‑twitch fibers, respectively. Upon denervation, the EDL muscle showed more pronounced structural changes, compared with the soleus muscle. There was a transformation from fast to slow fibers, and a concomitant increase in fibers positive for CAIII. Following denervation, the protein expression of CAIII initially increased and then decreased in the soleus muscle, whereas the protein expression of CAIII in the EDL muscle increased gradually with time. In contrast to the protein changes, phosphatase activity in the soleus and EDL muscles decreased significantly following denervation. These results indicated that, following denervation, changes in the expression of CAIII were associated with myofiber remodeling. Specifically, the change in the expression of CAIII reflected the conversion to type I myofibers, suggesting the importance of CAIII in resistance to fatigue in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Osteocytes are master orchestrators of bone remodeling; they control osteoblast and osteoclast activities both directly via cell-to-cell communication and indirectly via secreted factors, and they are the main postnatal source of sclerostin and RANKL (receptor activator of NF-kB ligand), two regulators of osteoblast and osteoclast function. Despite progress in understanding osteocyte biology and function, much remains to be elucidated. Recently developed osteocytic cell lines-together with new genome editing tools-has allowed a closer look at the biology and molecular makeup of these cells. By using single-cell cloning, we identified genes that are associated with high Sost/sclerostin expression and analyzed their regulation and function. Unbiased transcriptome analysis of high- vs. low-Sost/sclerostin-expressing cells identified known and novel genes. Dmp1 (dentin matrix protein 1), Dkk1 (Dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 1), and Phex were among the most up-regulated known genes, whereas Srpx2, Cd200, and carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) were identified as novel markers of differentiated osteocytes. Aspn, Enpp2, Robo2, Nov, and Serpina3g were among the transcripts that were most significantly suppressed in high-Sost cells. Considering that CAII was recently identified as being regulated by Sost/sclerostin and capable of controlling mineral homeostasis, we focused our attention on CAIII. Here, we report that CAIII is highly expressed in osteocytes, is regulated by parathyroid hormone both in vitro and in vivo, and protects osteocytes from oxidative stress.-Shi, C., Uda, Y., Dedic, C., Azab, E., Sun, N., Hussein, A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic alcohol abuse, a major risk factor for such diseases as hepatitis and cirrhosis, impairs hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH; key ethanol [EtOH]-metabolizing enzyme). Therefore, differentially altered hepatic and plasma proteomes were identified in chronic EtOH feeding model of hepatic ADH-deficient (ADH- ) deer mice to understand the metabolic basis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). METHODS ADH- deer mice were fed 3.5 g% EtOH via Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet daily for 3 months and histology of the liver assessed. Liver and plasma proteins were separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The proteins differentially expressed were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS Histology of the liver showed panlobular steatosis and infiltration of T lymphocytes. Using the criteria of ≥1.5 for fold change (p-value ≤0.05) with expectation value (E ≤10-3 ) and protein score (≥64), 18 proteins in the livers and 5 in the plasma of EtOH-fed mice were differentially expressed and identified. Prolyl 4-hydroxylase, cytochrome b-5, endo A cytokeratin, ATP synthase, heat-shock 70 kD proteins, enoyl CoA hydratase, stress-70 protein, peroxiredoxin 1, and ornithine carbamoyl transferase were up-regulated in the livers. However, carbonic anhydrase 3, mitochondrial ATP synthase, aldolase 2, actin γ, laminin receptor, and carbamoyl phosphate synthase were down-regulated. Contrary to the increased expression of creatine kinase M-type, a decreased expression of serine protease inhibitor A3A precursor, sulfated glycoprotein-2 (clusterin), and apolipoprotein E isoforms were found in the plasma of EtOH group. CONCLUSIONS Chronic EtOH feeding in ADH- deer mice causes steatosis and infiltration of T lymphocytes in the livers along with increased expression of proteins involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, fibrosis, fatty acid β oxidation and biogenesis, and decreased expression of proteins involved in ATP synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, in cell regulation and architecture. Reduced expression of various carrier proteins as found in the plasma of EtOH group has a biomarker potential.

Abstract
All the leading cities in the world are slowly becoming inhospitable for human life with global warming playing havoc with the living conditions. Biomineralization of carbon dioxide using carbonic anhydrase (CA) is one of the most economical methods for mitigating global warming. The burning of fossil fuels results in the emission of large quantities of flue gas. The temperature of flue gas is quite high. Alkaline conditions are necessary for CaCO3 precipitation in the mineralization process. In order to use CAs for biomimetic carbon sequestration, thermo-alkali-stable CAs are, therefore, essential. CAs must be stable in the presence of various flue gas contaminants too. The extreme environments on earth harbor a variety of polyextremophilic microbes that are rich sources of thermo-alkali-stable CAs. CAs are the fastest among the known enzymes, which are of six basic types with no apparent sequence homology, thus represent an elegant example of convergent evolution. The current review focuses on the utility of thermo-alkali-stable CAs in biomineralization based strategies. A variety of roles that CAs play in various living organisms, the use of CA inhibitors as drug targets and strategies for overproduction of CAs to meet the demand are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Hydroxyurea (HU) has a long history of clinical and scientific use as an antiviral, antibacterial, and antitumor agent. It inhibits ribonucleotide reductase and reversibly arrests cells in S phase. However, high concentrations or prolonged treatment with low doses of HU can cause cell lethality. Although the cytotoxicity of HU may significantly contribute to its therapeutic effects, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We have previously shown that HU can induce cytokinesis arrest in the erg11-1 mutant of fission yeast, which has a partial defect in the biosynthesis of fungal membrane sterol ergosterol. Here, we report the identification of a new mutant in heme biosynthesis, hem13-1, that is hypersensitive to HU. We found that the HU hypersensitivity of the hem13-1 mutant is caused by oxidative stress and not by replication stress or a defect in cellular response to replication stress. The mutation is hypomorphic and causes heme deficiency, which likely sensitizes the cells to the HU-induced oxidative stress. Because the heme biosynthesis pathway is highly conserved in eukaryotes, this finding, as we show in our separate report, may help to expand the therapeutic spectrum of HU to additional pathological conditions.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases are a family of enzymes that catalyze the reversible condensation of water and carbon dioxide to carbonic acid, which spontaneously dissociates to bicarbonate. Carbonic anhydrase III (Car3) is nutritionally regulated at both the mRNA and protein level. It is highly enriched in tissues that synthesize and/or store fat: liver, white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle. Previous characterization of Car3 knockout mice focused on mice fed standard diets, not high-fat diets that significantly alter the tissues that highly express Car3. We observed lower protein levels of Car3 in high-fat diet fed mice treated with niclosamide, a drug published to improve fatty liver symptoms in mice. However, it is unknown if Car3 is simply a biomarker reflecting lipid accumulation or whether it has a functional role in regulating lipid metabolism. We focused our in vitro studies toward metabolic pathways that require bicarbonate. To further determine the role of Car3 in metabolism, we measured de novo fatty acid synthesis with in vitro radiolabeled experiments and examined metabolic biomarkers in Car3 knockout and wild type mice fed high-fat diet. Specifically, we analyzed body weight, body composition, metabolic rate, insulin resistance, serum and tissue triglycerides. Our results indicate that Car3 is not required for de novo lipogenesis, and Car3 knockout mice fed high-fat diet do not have significant differences in responses to various diets to wild type mice.

Abstract
Described here is the application of thermodynamic stability measurements to study age-related differences in the folding and stability of proteins in a rodent model of aging. Thermodynamic stability profiles were generated for 809 proteins in brain cell lysates from mice, aged 6 (n = 7) and 18 months (n = 9) using the Stability of Proteins from Rates of Oxidation (SPROX) technique. The biological variability of the protein stability measurements was low and within the experimental error of SPROX. A total of 83 protein hits were detected with age-related stability differences in the brain samples. Remarkably, the large majority of the brain protein hits were destabilized in the old mice, and the hits were enriched in proteins that have slow turnover rates (p < 0.07). Furthermore, 70% of the hits have been previously linked to aging or age-related diseases. These results help validate the use of thermodynamic stability measurements to capture relevant age-related proteomic changes and establish a new biophysical link between these proteins and aging.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) III and VII are two cytosolic isoforms of the α-CA family which catalyze the physiological reaction of carbon dioxide hydration to bicarbonate and proton. Despite these two enzymes share a 49% sequence identity and present a very similar three-dimensional structure, they show profound differences when comparing the specific activity for CO2 hydration reaction, with CA VII being much more active than CA III. Recently, CA III and CA VII have been proposed to play a new role as scavenger enzymes in cells where oxidative damage occurs. Here, we will examine functional and structural features of these two isoforms giving insights into their newly proposed protective role against oxidative stress.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A large area of carbonic anhydrase (CA) research focuses on the inhibition of human CA IX and CA XII, as these isoforms have been designated as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for various cancer types. AREAS COVERED Recently, the majority of CA inhibitor (CAI) patents cover compound design, synthesis, and delivery methods for the treatment of glaucoma and cancer. The analysis of included patents highlights the need for isoform specific inhibitors. This review covers the patents of medically relevant carbonic anhydrase inhibitors between 2011-2016. EXPERT OPINION The improvement of structure-based drug design methods and access to the crystal structures of human CA isoforms have improved inhibitor development. This progress can be observed in relation to the selective inhibition of CA IX for cancer treatments, with one inhibitor in clinical trials. However, the design of nonclassical CAIs is essential to further improve isoform specificity and prevent sulfur allergies.

Abstract
The regulatory mechanisms of yeast Sir2, the founding member of the sirtuin family involved in oxidative stress and aging, are unknown. Redox signaling controls many cellular functions, especially under stress situations, with dithiol glutaredoxins (Grxs) playing an important role. However, monothiol Grxs are not considered to have major oxidoreductase activity. The present study investigated the redox regulation of yeast Sir2, together with the role and physiological impact of monothiol Grx3/4 as Sir2 thiol-reductases upon stress. S-glutathionylation of Sir2 upon disulfide stress was demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo, and decreased Sir2 deacetylase activity. Physiological levels of nuclear Grx3/4 can reverse the observed post-translational modification. Grx3/4 interacted with Sir2 and reduced it after stress, thereby restoring telomeric silencing activity. Using site-directed mutagenesis, key cysteine residues at the catalytic domain of Sir2 were identified as a target of S-glutathionylation. Mutation of these residues resulted in cells with increased resistance to disulfide stress. We provide new mechanistic insights into Grx3/4 regulation of Sir2 by S-deglutathionylation to increase cell resistance to stress. This finding offers news perspectives on monothiol Grxs in redox signaling, describing Sir2 as a physiological substrate regulated by S-glutathionylation. These results might have a relevant role in understanding aging and age-related diseases.

Abstract
Chronic widespread pain (CWP) including fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) has a high prevalence and is associated with prominent negative consequences. CWP/FMS exhibits morphological and functional alterations in the central nervous system. The importance of peripheral factors for maintaining the central alterations are under debate. In this study, the proteins from biopsies of the trapezius muscle from 18 female CWP/FMS patients and 19 healthy female controls were analyzed. Pain intensity and pressure pain thresholds (PPT) over the trapezius muscles were registered. Twelve proteins representing five different groups of proteins were important regressors of pain intensity in CWP/FMS (R2=0.99; P<0.001). In the regression of PPT in CWP/FMS, it was found that 16 proteins representing six groups of proteins were significant regressors (R2=0.95, P<0.05). Many of the important proteins were stress and inflammation proteins, enzymes involved in metabolic pathways, and proteins associated with muscle damage, myopathies, and muscle recovery. The altered expression of these proteins may reflect both direct and indirect nociceptive/inflammatory processes as well as secondary changes. The relative importance of the identified proteins and central alterations in CWP need to be investigated in future research. Data from this and the previous study concerning the same cohorts give support to the suggestion that peripheral factors are of importance for maintaining pain aspects in CWP/FMS.

Abstract
Chronic widespread pain (CWP) has a high prevalence in the population and is associated with prominent negative individual and societal consequences. There is no clear consensus concerning the etiology behind CWP although alterations in the central processing of nociception maintained by peripheral nociceptive input has been suggested. Here, we use proteomics to study protein changes in trapezius muscle from 18 female patients diagnosed with CWP compared to 19 healthy female subjects. The 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) in combination with multivariate statistical analyses revealed 17 proteins to be differently expressed between the two groups. Proteins were identified by mass spectrometry. Many of the proteins are important enzymes in metabolic pathways like the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Other proteins are associated with muscle damage, muscle recovery, stress and inflammation. The altered expressed levels of these proteins suggest abnormalities and metabolic changes in the myalgic trapezius muscle in CWP. Taken together, this study gives further support that peripheral factors may be of importance in maintaining CWP.

Abstract
In general protein posttranslation modifications (PTMs) involve the covalent addition of functional groups or molecules to specific amino acid residues in proteins. These modifications include phosphorylation, glycosylation, S-nitrosylation, acetylation, lipidation, among others (Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 44(45):7342-7372, 2005). Although other amino acids can undergo different kinds of oxidative posttranslational modifications (oxPTMs) (Exp Gerontol 36(9):1495-1502, 2001), in this chapter oxPTM will be considered specifically related to Cysteine oxidation, and redox proteomics here is translated as a comprehensive investigation of oxPTMs, in biological systems, using diverse technical approaches. Protein Cysteine residues are not the only amino acid that can be target for oxidative modifications in proteins (Exp Gerontol 36(9):1495-1502, 2001; Biochim Biophys Acta 1814(12):1785-1795, 2011), but certainly it is among the most reactive amino acid (Nature 468(7325):790-795, 2010). Interestingly, it is one of the least abundant amino acid, but it often occurs in the functional sites of proteins (J Mol Biol 404(5):902-916, 2010). In addition, the majority of the Cysteine oxidations are reversible, indicating potential regulatory mechanism of proteins. The global analysis of oxPTMs has been increasingly recognized as an important area of proteomics, because not only maps protein caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), but also explores protein modulation involving ROS/RNS. Furthermore, the tools and strategies to study this type oxidation are also very abundant and developed, offering high degree of accuracy on the results. As a consequence, the redox proteomics field focuses very much on analyzing Cysteine oxidation in proteins under several experimental conditions and diseases states. Therefore, the identification and localization of oxPTMs within cellular milieu became critical to understand redox regulation of proteins in physiological and pathological conditions, and consequently an important information to develop better strategies for treatment and prevention of diseases associated with oxidative stress.There is a wide range of techniques available to investigate oxPTMs, including gel-based and non-gel-based separation approaches to be combined with sophisticated methods of detection, identification, and quantification of these modifications. The strategies and approaches to study oxPTMs and the respective applications related to physiological and pathological conditions will be discussed in more detail in this chapter.

Abstract
One of the most common pathologies in aging humans is the development of glucose metabolism dysfunction. The high incidence of metabolic dysfunction, in particular type 2 diabetes mellitus, is a significant health and economic burden on the aging population. However, the mechanisms that regulate this age-related physiological decline, and thus potential preventative treatments, remain elusive. Even after accounting for age-related changes in adiposity, lean mass, blood lipids, etc., aging is an independent factor for reduced glucose tolerance and increased insulin resistance. Oxidative stress has been shown to have significant detrimental impacts on the regulation of glucose homeostasis in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, oxidative stress has been shown to be modulated by age and diet in several model systems. This review provides an overview of these data and addresses whether increases in oxidative stress with aging may be a primary determinant of age-related metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteomic approaches may provide new insights into pathological conditions associated with alcoholism. The aim of this study was to conduct a proteomic analysis of liver tissue and serum in chronically alcohol-fed rats using agarose 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and 3-step serum proteome analysis. METHODS A total of 12 rats were pair-fed nutritionally adequate liquid diet containing ethanol as 36% of the total energy or an isocaloric control diet for 2 months. Rat liver homogenates and cytosol fractions were subjected to agarose 2-DE. Serum samples were subjected to 3-step serum proteome analysis involving immunodepletion of abundant proteins followed by fractionation using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and 1-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Candidate proteins were digested with trypsin and identified using mass spectrometry. Observed differences in protein expression levels were confirmed using Western blotting. RESULTS A total of 46 protein spots were found to be differentially expressed in the liver homogenates and cytosol fractions of alcohol-fed rats relative to pair-fed controls. The most notable change was down-regulation of a 29-kDa protein, which was subsequently identified as carbonic anhydrase III (CA III). Down-regulation of this protein in alcohol-fed rats was confirmed by Western blotting. The messenger RNA level of CA III was decreased as well. In rat serum, a total of 41 proteins were differentially expressed. Of these proteins, only betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) was also found to be differentially expressed in the liver. CONCLUSIONS A combined proteomic analysis of liver tissue and serum in chronically alcohol-fed rats revealed that the expression of CA III is significantly down-regulated in the liver of alcohol-fed rats. Our results also showed that BHMT expression is up-regulated in both the liver and serum of alcohol-fed rats.

Abstract
Response of pigs to irradiation manifested by production of protein carbonyls and adaptable enzymes was studied in two experiments. In one experiment, 10 mixed-sex pigs were exposed to 0.5 Gy whole body (60)Co irradiation. In the other experiment, another batch of 10 pigs was exposed to 1.0 Gy half-body irradiation. Unlike those exposed to half-body irradiation, the pigs exposed to whole-body irradiation showed significant increase in protein carbonyls by 73%, and a decrease in cholesterol by 25.7%, compared to the control group. In both cases of dose-dependent irradiation exposure, pigs showed a decrease in alanine aminotransferase activity compared with the control group. At the dose of 1 Gy, ALT activity decreased significantly by 27.7%. Aspartate aminotransferase activity in pigs after half-body irradiation decreased significantly by 65.5%. Although low doses of ionizing radiation were applied, monitoring of the above biochemical parameters helped define the pigs' biological response.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) is an isoenzyme of the CA family. Because of its low specific anhydrase activity, physiological functions in addition to hydrating CO(2) have been proposed. CAIII expression is highly induced in adipogenesis and CAIII is the most abundant protein in adipose tissues. The function of CAIII in both preadipocytes and adipocytes is however unknown. In the present study we demonstrate that adipogenesis is greatly increased in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from CAIII knockout (KO) mice, as demonstrated by a greater than 10-fold increase in the induction of fatty acid-binding protein-4 (FABP4) and increased triglyceride formation in CAIII(-/-) MEFs compared with CAIII(+/+) cells. To address the underlying mechanism, we investigated the expression of the two adipogenic key regulators, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ2 (PPARγ2) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-α. We found a considerable (approximately 1000-fold) increase in the PPARγ2 expression in the CAIII(-/-) MEFs. Furthermore, RNAi-mediated knockdown of endogenous CAIII in NIH 3T3-L1 preadipocytes resulted in a significant increase in the induction of PPARγ2 and FABP4. When both CAIII and PPARγ2 were knocked down, FABP4 was not induced. We conclude that down-regulation of CAIII in preadipocytes enhances adipogenesis and that CAIII is a regulator of adipogenic differentiation which acts at the level of PPARγ2 gene expression.

Abstract
Understanding the relationship between physical exercise, reactive oxygen species and skeletal muscle modification is important in order to better identify the benefits or the damages that appropriate or inappropriate exercise can induce. Unbalanced ROS levels can lead to oxidation of cellular macromolecules and a major class of protein oxidative modification is carbonylation. The aim of this investigation was to study muscle protein expression and carbonylation patterns in trained and untrained animal models. We analyzed two muscles characterized by different metabolisms: tibialis anterior and soleus. Whilst tibialis anterior is mostly composed of fast-twitch fibers, the soleus muscle is mostly composed of slow-twitch fibers. By a proteomic approach we identified 15 protein spots whose expression is influenced by training. Among them in tibialis anterior we observed a down-regulation of several glycolitic enzymes. Concerning carbonylation, we observed the existence of a high basal level of protein carbonylation. Although this level shows some variation among individual animals, several proteins (mostly involved in energy metabolism, muscle contraction, and stress response) appear carbonylated in all animals and in both types of skeletal muscle. Moreover we identified 13 spots whose carbonylation increases after training.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although the risk factors of human HCC are well known, the molecular pathogenesis of this disease is complex, and in general, treatment options remain poor. The use of rodent models to study human cancer has been extensively pursued, both through genetically engineered rodents and rodent models used in carcinogenicity and toxicology studies. In particular, the B6C3F1 mouse used in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) two-year bioassay has been used to evaluate the carcinogenic effects of environmental and occupational chemicals, and other compounds. The high incidence of spontaneous HCC in the B6C3F1 mouse has challenged its use as a model for chemically induced HCC in terms of relevance to the human disease. Using global gene expression profiling, we identify the dysregulation of several mediators similarly altered in human HCC, including re-expression of fetal oncogenes, upregulation of protooncogenes, downregulation of tumor suppressor genes, and abnormal expression of cell cycle mediators, growth factors, apoptosis regulators, and angiogenesis and extracellular matrix remodeling factors. Although major differences in etiology and pathogenesis remain between human and mouse HCC, there are important similarities in global gene expression and molecular pathways dysregulated in mouse and human HCC. These data provide further support for the use of this model in hazard identification of compounds with potential human carcinogenicity risk, and may help in better understanding the mechanisms of tumorigenesis resulting from chemical exposure in the NTP two-year carcinogenicity bioassay.

Abstract
Statins and fibrates can cause myopathy. To further understand the causes of the damage we performed a proteome analysis in fast-twitch skeletal muscle of rats chronically treated with different hypolipidemic drugs. The proteomic maps were obtained from extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of rats treated for 2-months with 10mg/kg atorvastatin, 20 mg/kg fluvastatin, 60 mg/kg fenofibrate and control rats. The proteins differentially expressed were identified by mass spectrometry and further analyzed by immunoblot analysis. We found a significant modification in 40 out of 417 total spots analyzed in atorvastatin treated rats, 15 out of 436 total spots in fluvastatin treated rats and 21 out of 439 total spots in fenofibrate treated rats in comparison to controls. All treatments induced a general tendency to a down-regulation of protein expression; in particular, atorvastatin affected the protein pattern more extensively with respect to the other treatments. Energy production systems, both oxidative and glycolytic enzymes and creatine kinase, were down-regulated following atorvastatin administration, whereas fenofibrate determined mostly alterations in glycolytic enzymes and creatine kinase, oxidative enzymes being relatively spared. Additionally, all treatments resulted in some modifications of proteins involved in cellular defenses against oxidative stress, such as heat shock proteins, and of myofibrillar proteins. These results were confirmed by immunoblot analysis. In conclusions, the proteomic analysis showed that either statin or fibrate administration can modify the expression of proteins essential for skeletal muscle function suggesting potential mechanisms for statin myopathy.

Abstract
Increased levels of misfolded and damaged proteins occur in response to brain aging and Alzheimer disease (AD), which presumably increase the amount of aggregation-prone proteins via elevations in hydrophobicity. The proteasome is an intracellular protease that degrades oxidized and ubiquitinated proteins, and its function is known to be impaired in response to both aging and AD. In this study we sought to determine the potential for increased levels of protein hydrophobicity occurring in response to aging and AD, to identify the contribution of proteasome inhibition to increased protein hydrophobicity, and last to identify the contribution of ubiquitinated and oxidized proteins to the pool of hydrophobic proteins. In our studies we identified that aging and AD brain exhibited increases in protein hydrophobicity as detected using Bis ANS, with dietary restriction (DR) significantly decreasing age-related increases in protein hydrophobicity. Affinity chromatography purification of hydrophobic proteins from aging and AD brains identified increased levels of oxidized and ubiquitinated proteins in the pool of hydrophobic proteins. Pharmacological inhibition of the proteasome in neurons, but not astrocytes, resulted in an increase in protein hydrophobicity. Taken together, these data indicate that there is a relationship between increased protein oxidation and protein ubiquitination and elevations in protein hydrophobicity within the aging and the AD brain, which may be mediated in part by impaired proteasome activity in neurons. Our studies also suggest a potential role for decreased oxidized and hydrophobic proteins in mediating the beneficial effects of DR.

Abstract
Two-dimensional proteomic maps of soleus (Sol), a slow oxidative muscle, and gastrocnemius (Gas), a fast glycolytic muscle of control mice (CTRL), of mice hindlimb unloaded for 14 days (HU mice) and of HU mice treated with trolox (HU-TRO), a selective and potent antioxidant, were compared. The proteomic analysis identified a large number of differentially expressed proteins in a pool of approximately 800 proteins in both muscles. The protein pattern of Sol and Gas adapted very differently to hindlimb unloading. The most interesting adaptations related to the cellular defense systems against oxidative stress and energy metabolism. In HU Sol, the antioxidant defense systems and heat shock proteins were downregulated, and protein oxidation index and lipid peroxidation were higher compared with CTRL Sol. In contrast, in HU Gas the antioxidant defense systems were upregulated, and protein oxidation index and lipid peroxidation were normal. Notably, both Sol and Gas muscles and their muscle fibres were atrophic. Antioxidant administration prevented the impairment of the antioxidant defense systems in Sol and further enhanced them in Gas. Accordingly, it restored normal levels of protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation in Sol. However, muscle and muscle fibre atrophy was not prevented either in Sol or in Gas. A general downsizing of all energy production systems in Sol and a shift towards glycolytic metabolism in Gas were observed. Trolox administration did not prevent metabolic adaptations in either Sol or Gas. The present findings suggest that oxidative stress is not a major determinant of muscle atrophy in HU mice.

Abstract
The liver plays a major role in the early hypometabolic and later hypermetabolic phases after severe burn injury. Proteomic analysis was used to identify altered proteins in liver during these two phases. Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a full-thickness dorsal burn injury covering 40% of the total body surface area. Controls consisted of sham-treated animals. Liver tissues were collected on postburn days 1 and 7. The proteomic data show greater production of positive acute phase proteins on day 1 than on day 7. Many antioxidant enzymes were coordinately downregulated on day 1, including the potent biliverdin reductase. These antioxidants were restored and in some cases upregulated on day 7. This opposite trend in the change of antioxidant proteins corroborated our finding of more pronounced oxidative stress on day 1 than on day 7 as measured via protein carbonyl content. The changes of metabolic enzymes on days 1 and 7 were consistent with hypo- and hyper-metabolic states, respectively. Furthermore, a previously unreported decrease in ornithine aminotransferase on day 7 may be a key contributor to the observed increased urinary urea excretion during the hypermetabolic phase. Overall, the many differences in protein expression observed on postburn days 1 and 7 reflect the dissimilar hepatic metabolic patterns during the acute and flow phases following burn injury.

Abstract
For many years, oxidative thiol modifications in cytosolic proteins were largely disregarded as in vitro artifacts, and considered unlikely to play significant roles within the reducing environment of the cell. Recent developments in in vivo thiol trapping technology combined with mass spectrometric analysis have now provided convincing evidence that thiol-based redox switches are used as molecular tools in many proteins to regulate their activity in response to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Reversible oxidative thiol modifications have been found to modulate the function of proteins involved in many different pathways, starting from gene transcription, translation and protein folding, to metabolism, signal transduction, and ultimately apoptosis. This review will focus on three well-characterized eukaryotic proteins that use thiol-based redox switches to influence gene transcription, metabolism, and signal transduction. The transcription factor Yap1p is a good illustration of how oxidative modifications affect the function of a protein without changing its activity. We use glyeraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to demonstrate how thiol modification of an active site cysteine re-routes metabolic pathways and converts a metabolic enzyme into a pro-apoptotic factor. Finally, we introduce the redox-sensitive protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B to illustrate that reversibility is one of the fundamental aspects of redox-regulation.

Abstract
Trypanosoma evansi, the cause of the disease Surra in livestock, is the most widely geographically distributed pathogenic trypanosome occurring in Africa, South and Central America, and Asia, where it causes significant economic loss. Although many studies have described the histopathology induced in the organs of mice infected with T. evansi, few studies have been conducted on gene expression in these organs. Here we used complementary DNA microarray to analyze the gene expression profiles in the liver and spleen of mice infected with T. evansi (STIB 806) at the peak parasitemia (7 days after infection). A total of 14,000 sequences including full length and partial complementary DNAs representing novel, known, and control genes of mouse were analyzed. Results from GeneOntology annotation showed that 158 genes in the liver and 73 genes in the spleen were up-regulated in the infected mice and that 178 genes in the liver and 117 genes in the spleen of infected mice were down-regulated compared with control (non-infected) mice. Most of these genes are metabolism, transport, protein biosynthesis, transcription factors, and nucleic acid binding protein-related genes. The changes of some important genes, such as heat shock protein 70 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, were confirmed by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. TdT-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling analysis results revealed that extensive apoptosis occurred in the liver of infected mice at the peak of parasitemia. Our results provide a comprehensive profile of changes in gene expression in the liver and spleen of mice infected with T. evansi and may be helpful in understanding the pathogenesis of Surra at a molecular level.

Abstract
The identities of proteins that show disuse-related changes in the content of oxidative modification are unknown. Furthermore, it is unknown whether the global accumulation of oxidized proteins is greater in aged animals with muscle disuse. The purposes of this study are 1) to identify the exact proteins that show disuse-related changes in oxidation levels and 2) to test the hypothesis that the global accumulation of oxidized proteins with muscle disuse would be greater in aged animals. Adult and old rats were randomized into four groups: weight bearing and 3, 7, or 14 days of hindlimb unloading. Soleus muscles were harvested to investigate the protein oxidation with unloading. Slot blot, SDS-PAGE, and Western blot analyses were used to detect the accumulation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenol (HNE)- and nitrotyrosine (NT)-modified proteins. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight and tandem mass spectroscopy were used to identify modified proteins. We found that global HNE- and NT-modified proteins accumulated significantly with aging but not with muscle unloading. Two HNE and NT target proteins, four-and-a-half LIM protein 1 (FHL1) and carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII), showed changes in the oxidation levels with muscle unloading. The changes in the oxidation levels happened to adult rats but not old rats. However, old rats had higher baseline levels of HNE-modified FHL1. In summary, the data suggest that the muscle unloading-related changes of protein oxidation are more significant in specific proteins and that the changes are age related.

Abstract
Dysfunction of the proximal tubule (PT) is associated with variable degrees of solute wasting and low-molecular-weight proteinuria. We measured metabolic consequences and adaptation mechanisms in a model of inherited PT disorders using PT cells of ClC-5-deficient (Clcn5Y/-) mice, a well-established model of Dent's disease. Compared to cells taken from control mice, those from the mutant mice had increased expression of markers of proliferation (Ki67, proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and cyclin E) and oxidative scavengers (superoxide dismutase I and thioredoxin). Transcriptome and protein analyses showed fourfold induction of type III carbonic anhydrase in a kidney-specific manner in the knockout mice located in scattered PT cells. Kidney-specific carbonic anhydrase type III (CAIII) upregulation was confirmed in other mice lacking the multiligand receptor megalin and in a patient with Dent's disease due to an inactivating CLCN5 mutation. The type III enzyme was specifically detected in the urine of mice lacking ClC-5 or megalin, patients with Dent's disease, and in PT cell lines exposed to oxidative stress. Our study shows that lack of PT ClC-5 in mice and men is associated with CAIII induction, increased cell proliferation, and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The early observations on the rate-of-living theory by Max Rubner and the report by Gershman that oxygen free radicals exist in vivo culminated in the seminal proposal in the 1950s by Denham Harman that reactive oxygen species are a cause of aging (free radical theory of aging). The goal of this review is to analyze recent findings relevant in evaluating Harman's theory using experimental results as grouped by model organisms (i.e., invertebrate models and mice). In this regard, we have focused primarily on recent work involving genetic manipulations. Because the free radical theory of aging is not the only theorem proposed to explain the mechanism(s) involved in aging at the molecular level, we also discuss how this theory is related to other areas of research in biogerontology, specifically, telomere/cell senescence, genomic instability, and the mitochondrial hypothesis of aging. We also discuss where we think the free radical theory is headed. It is now possible to give at least a partial answer to the question whether oxidative stress determines life span as Harman posed so long ago. Based on studies to date, we argue that a tentative case for oxidative stress as a life-span determinant can be made in Drosophila melanogaster. Studies in mice argue for a role of oxidative stress in age-related disease, especially cancer; however, with regard to aging per se, the data either do not support or remain inconclusive on whether oxidative stress determines life span.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins are known to interact with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and to participate in oxidant scavenging, redox signal transduction, and heat-shock responses. The two-cysteine peroxiredoxin Tpx1 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been characterized as the H(2)O(2) sensor that transduces the redox signal to the transcription factor Pap1. Here, we show that Tpx1 is essential for aerobic, but not anaerobic, growth. We demonstrate that Tpx1 has an exquisite sensitivity for its substrate, which explains its participation in maintaining low steady-state levels of H(2)O(2). We also show in vitro and in vivo that inactivation of Tpx1 by oxidation of its catalytic cysteine to a sulfinic acid is always preceded by a sulfinic acid form in a covalently linked dimer, which may be important for understanding the kinetics of Tpx1 inactivation. Furthermore, we provide evidence that a strain expressing Tpx1.C169S, lacking the resolving cysteine, can sustain aerobic growth, and we show that small reductants can modulate the activity of the mutant protein in vitro, probably by supplying a thiol group to substitute for cysteine 169.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (Hsp) are ubiquitously expressed proteins, which are highly inducible by a variety of stressful stimuli. As organisms age, various denatured proteins such as proteins modified by oxidation have been detected. Such abnormal proteins might serve as stress signals for the induction of Hsp, which plays indispensable roles in protecting proteins from denaturation. Although it is well known that the heat shock induced expression of Hsp decreases with age, little attention has been given to the unstimulated, basal levels of Hsp. Therefore, a study was performed to examine the expression pattern of various Hsp with aging, under normal physiological conditions in human peripheral blood cells. The basal levels of Hsp32, Hsp70 and Hsp90 increased significantly with age in controls but not patients. Moreover, the levels of Hsp32, Hsp70, Hsp90, but not Hsp27 correlated positively among each other, indicating both common and different regulatory mechanisms. Higher levels of Hsp32, Hsp70 and Hsp90 were noticed in patients with inflammation, a commonly occurring natural stimulant of Hsp production, compared to control subjects. The production of Hsp appeared to be related to the circulating levels of C-reactive protein and cytokines.
