Lamin-A/C Is Modulated by the Involvement of Histamine-Mediated Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase II in Lung Cancer Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23169075. [PMID: 36012358 PMCID: PMC9409298 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23169075] [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: 07/23/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Lamins are nuclear envelope proteins involved in various cellular functions, such as DNA modulation, cellular differentiation, and development. In this study, we investigate the role of histamine in lung cancer biology. Since it is known that lamin-A/C is negatively regulated in lung cancer, we hypothesize that histamine signaling is related to nuclear lamin-A/C regulation and cancer progression. Our findings reveal that histamine stimulation enhances lamin-A/C expression in lung cancer cells. Lamin-A/C expression is dependent on histamine-mediated intracellular calcium signaling and subsequent calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (Ca/CaMKII) activation. The nuclear protein nestin, which stabilizes lamin-A/C expression, is also modulated by Ca/CaMKII. However, histamine-mediated lamin-A/C expression is independent of Akt/focal adhesion kinase or autophagy signaling. Histamine stimulation attenuates lung cancer motility in the presence of enhanced lamin-A/C expression. In conclusion, we propose a regulatory mechanism that accounts for the modulation of lamin-A/C levels through the involvement of Ca/CaMKII in cancer cells and provides molecular evidence of histamine signaling in lamin-A/C biology.

J Mol Cell Cardiol 2022; 163:147-155. [PMID: 34755642 PMCID: PMC8826595 DOI: 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2021.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2020] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R) is up-regulated in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and InsP3-induced Ca2+ release (IICR) is linked to pro-arrhythmic spontaneous Ca2+ release events. Nevertheless, knowledge of the physiological relevance and regulation of InsP3Rs in atrial muscle is still limited. We hypothesize that InsP3R and NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) form a functional signaling domain where NOX2 derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate InsP3R agonist affinity and thereby Ca2+ release. To quantitate the contribution of IICR to atrial excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) atrial myocytes (AMs) were isolated from wild type and NOX2 deficient (Nox2-/-) mice and changes in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i; fluo-4/AM, indo-1) or ROS (2',7'-dichlorofluorescein, DCF) were monitored by fluorescence microscopy. Superfusion of AMs with Angiotensin II (AngII: 1 μmol/L) significantly increased diastolic [Ca2+]i (F/F0, Ctrl: 1.00 ± 0.01, AngII: 1.20 ± 0.03; n = 7; p < 0.05), the field stimulation induced Ca2+ transient (CaT) amplitude (ΔF/F0, Ctrl: 2.00 ± 0.17, AngII: 2.39 ± 0.22, n = 7; p < 0.05), and let to the occurrence of spontaneous increases in [Ca2+]i. These changes in [Ca2+]i were suppressed by the InsP3R blocker 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl-borate (2-APB; 1 μmol/L). Concomitantly, AngII induced an increase in ROS production that was sensitive to the NOX2 specific inhibitor gp91ds-tat (1 μmol/L). In NOX2-/- AMs, AngII failed to increase diastolic [Ca2+]i, CaT amplitude, and the frequency of spontaneous Ca2+ increases. Furthermore, the enhancement of CaTs by exposure to membrane permeant InsP3 was abolished by NOX inhibition with apocynin (1 μM). AngII induced IICR in Nox2-/- AMs could be restored by addition of exogenous ROS (tert-butyl hydroperoxide, tBHP: 5 μmol/L). In saponin permeabilized AMs InsP3 (5 μmol/L) induced Ca2+ sparks that increased in frequency in the presence of ROS (InsP3: 9.65 ± 1.44 sparks*s-1*(100μm)-1; InsP3 + tBHP: 10.77 ± 1.5 sparks*s-1*(100μm)-1; n = 5; p < 0.05). The combined effect of InsP3 + tBHP was entirely suppressed by 2-APB and Xestospongine C (XeC). Changes in IICR due to InsP3R glutathionylation induced by diamide could be reversed by the reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT: 1 mmol/L) and prevented by pretreatment with 2-APB, supporting that the ROS-dependent post-translational modification of the InsP3R plays a role in the regulation of ECC. Our data demonstrate that in AMs the InsP3R is under dual control of agonist induced InsP3 and ROS formation and suggest that InsP3 and NOX2-derived ROS co-regulate atrial IICR and ECC in a defined InsP3R/NOX2 signaling domain.

Free fatty acids promote degranulation of azurophil granules in neutrophils by inducing production of NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species in cows with subclinical ketosis. J Dairy Sci 2022; 105:2473-2486. [PMID: 34998570 DOI: 10.3168/jds.2021-21089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Subclinical ketosis (SCK) in dairy cows, a common metabolic disorder during the peripartal period, is accompanied by systemic inflammation. Excessive release of azurophil granule (AG) contents during degranulation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) could contribute to systemic inflammation in SCK cows. Although the increase in blood free fatty acids (FFA) in SCK cows may promote AG degranulation from PMN, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Thirty multiparous cows (within 3 wk postpartum) with similar lactation numbers (median = 3, range = 2-4) and days in milk (median = 6, range = 3-15) were classified based on serum β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) level as control (n = 15, BHB < 0.6 mM) or SCK (n = 15, 1.2 mM < BHB < 3.0 mM). Cows with SCK had greater levels of serum haptoglobin, serum amyloid A, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-α. These proinflammatory factors had strong positive correlations with myeloperoxidase (MPO), a marker protein of PMN AG, whose content was greater in the serum of SCK cows. Both the number of AG and the protein abundance of MPO were lower in PMN isolated from SCK cows. Additionally, we found a greater ratio of blood CH138A+/CD63high cells and greater mean fluorescence intensity of CD63 on the PMN membrane, further confirming the greater degree of AG degranulation in cows with SCK. In vitro FFA dose response (0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, and 2.4 mM for 4 h) and time course (0, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h with 0.6 mM) experiments were performed on PMN isolated from control cows. The increase in MPO content in extracellular supernatant resulting from those experiments led to the selection of 0.6 mM FFA for 1 h duration as conditions for subsequent studies. After FFA treatment, release of intracellular MPO was increased along with increased levels of CD63 mean fluorescence intensity on the PMN membrane, confirming that FFA promoted degranulation of AG. In addition, FFA treatment increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by PMN, an effect that was attenuated by incubation with diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI), a NADPH oxidase-derived ROS inhibitor. The mitochondrial-derived ROS inhibitor carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP) did not affect ROS in response to FFA treatment. Treatment with FFA increased p47 phosphorylation and mRNA abundance of NCF1, NCF2, and CYBB in PMN. Furthermore, DPI, but not FCCP, dampened the degranulation of PMN AG induced by FFA in vitro. These data suggested that the degranulation of AG in PMN induced by FFA was mediated by NADPH oxidase-derived ROS. As verified ex vivo, PMN from SCK cows had greater levels of ROS, phosphorylation of p47, and mRNA abundance of NCF1, NCF2, and CYBB. Overall, the present study revealed that high blood concentrations of FFA in SCK cows induce the production of NADPH oxidase-derived ROS, thereby promoting degranulation of AG in PMN. The stimulatory effect of FFA on the release of AG content during degranulation, especially MPO, provides a new insight into the systemic inflammation experienced by peripartal cows with SCK.

Abstract
An increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) controls virtually all endothelial cell functions and is, therefore, crucial to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis. An aberrant elevation in endothelial can indeed lead to severe cardiovascular disorders. Likewise, moderate amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce intracellular Ca2+ signals to regulate vascular functions, while excessive ROS production may exploit dysregulated Ca2+ dynamics to induce endothelial injury. Herein, we survey how ROS induce endothelial Ca2+ signals to regulate vascular functions and, vice versa, how aberrant ROS generation may exploit the Ca2+ handling machinery to promote endothelial dysfunction. ROS elicit endothelial Ca2+ signals by regulating inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors, sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2B, two-pore channels, store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), and multiple isoforms of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. ROS-induced endothelial Ca2+ signals regulate endothelial permeability, angiogenesis, and generation of vasorelaxing mediators and can be exploited to induce therapeutic angiogenesis, rescue neurovascular coupling, and induce cancer regression. However, an increase in endothelial [Ca2+]i induced by aberrant ROS formation may result in endothelial dysfunction, inflammatory diseases, metabolic disorders, and pulmonary artery hypertension. This information could pave the way to design alternative treatments to interfere with the life-threatening interconnection between endothelial ROS and Ca2+ signaling under multiple pathological conditions.

Abstract
The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing enzyme NADPH oxidase (NOX) was first identified in the membrane of phagocytic cells. For many years, its only known role was in immune defense, where its ROS production leads to the destruction of pathogens by the immune cells. NOX from phagocytes catalyzes, via one-electron trans-membrane transfer to molecular oxygen, the production of the superoxide anion. Over the years, six human homologs of the catalytic subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase were found: NOX1, NOX3, NOX4, NOX5, DUOX1, and DUOX2. Together with the NOX2/gp91phox component present in the phagocyte NADPH oxidase assembly itself, the homologs are now referred to as the NOX family of NADPH oxidases. NOX are complex multidomain proteins with varying requirements for assembly with combinations of other proteins for activity. The recent structural insights acquired on both prokaryotic and eukaryotic NOX open new perspectives for the understanding of the molecular mechanisms inherent to NOX regulation and ROS production (superoxide or hydrogen peroxide). This new structural information will certainly inform new investigations of human disease. As specialized ROS producers, NOX enzymes participate in numerous crucial physiological processes, including host defense, the post-translational processing of proteins, cellular signaling, regulation of gene expression, and cell differentiation. These diversities of physiological context will be discussed in this review. We also discuss NOX misregulation, which can contribute to a wide range of severe pathologies, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, lung fibrosis, cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases, giving this family of membrane proteins a strong therapeutic interest.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects one in three adults and remains the leading cause of death in America. Advancing age is a major risk factor for CVD. Recent plateaus in CVD-related mortality rates in high-income countries after decades of decline highlight a critical need to identify novel therapeutic targets and strategies to mitigate and manage the risk of CVD development and progression. Vascular dysfunction, characterized by endothelial dysfunction and large elastic artery stiffening, is independently associated with an increased CVD risk and incidence and is therefore an attractive target for CVD prevention and management. Vascular mitochondria have emerged as an important player in maintaining vascular homeostasis. As such, age- and disease-related impairments in mitochondrial function contribute to vascular dysfunction and consequent increases in CVD risk. This review outlines the role of mitochondria in vascular function and discusses the ramifications of mitochondrial dysfunction on vascular health in the setting of age and disease. The adverse vascular consequences of increased mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species, impaired mitochondrial quality control, and defective mitochondrial calcium cycling are emphasized, in particular. Current evidence for both lifestyle and pharmaceutical mitochondrial-targeted strategies to improve vascular function is also presented.

Abstract
The last 20-25 years have seen an explosion of interest in the role of NADPH oxidase (NOX) in cardiovascular function and disease. In vascular smooth muscle and endothelium, NOX generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that act as second messengers, contributing to the control of normal vascular function. NOX activity is altered in response to a variety of stimuli, including G-protein coupled receptor agonists, growth-factors, perfusion pressure, flow and hypoxia. NOX-derived ROS are involved in smooth muscle constriction, endothelium-dependent relaxation and smooth muscle growth, proliferation and migration, thus contributing to the fine-tuning of blood flow, arterial wall thickness and vascular resistance. Through reversible oxidative modification of target proteins, ROS regulate the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatases, kinases, G proteins, ion channels, cytoskeletal proteins and transcription factors. There is now considerable, but somewhat contradictory evidence that NOX contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension through oxidative stress. Specific NOX isoforms have been implicated in endothelial dysfunction, hyper-contractility and vascular remodelling in various animal models of hypertension, pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypertension, but also have potential protective effects, particularly NOX4. This review explores the multiplicity of NOX function in the healthy vasculature and the evidence for and against targeting NOX for antihypertensive therapy.

Abstract
Significance: Increased endothelial permeability and inflammation are two major hallmarks of the life-threatening conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis. There is a growing consensus in the field that the Rho family of small guanosine triphosphates are critical regulators of endothelial function at both physiological and pathological states. A basal level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential for maintaining metabolic homeostasis, vascular tone, and angiogenesis; however, excessive ROS generation impairs endothelial function and promotes lung inflammation. In this review, we will focus on the role of Rho in control of endothelial function and also briefly discuss a nexus between ROS generation and Rho activation during endothelial dysfunction. Recent Advances: Extensive studies in the past decades have established that a wide range of barrier-disruptive and proinflammatory agonists activate the Rho pathway that, ultimately, leads to endothelial dysfunction via disruption of endothelial barrier and further escalation of inflammation. An increasing body of evidence suggests that a bidirectional interplay exists between the Rho pathway and ROS generation during endothelial dysfunction. Rac, a member of the Rho family, is directly involved in ROS production and ROS, in turn, activate RhoA, Rac, and Cdc42. Critical Issues: A precise mechanism of interaction between ROS generation and Rho activation and its impact on endothelial function needs to be elucidated. Future Directions: By employing advanced molecular techniques, the sequential cascades in the Rho-ROS crosstalk signaling axis need to be explored. The therapeutic potential of the Rho pathway inhibitors in endothelial-dysfunction associated cardiopulmonary disorders needs to be evaluated.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of NAD(P)H oxidase (NOX) inhibitor VAS2870 (3-benzyl-7-(2-benzoxazolyl)thio-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine) on the histamine-induced elevation of free cytoplasmic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and the secretion of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and on relaxation of rat aorta in response to histamine. At 10 μM concentration, VAS2870 suppressed the [Ca2+]i rise induced by histamine. Inhibition was not competitive, with IC50 3.64 and 3.22 μM at 1 and 100 μM concentrations of histamine, respectively. There was no inhibition of [Ca2+]i elevation by VAS2870 in HUVECs in response to the agonist of type 1 protease-activated receptor SFLLRN. VAS2870 attenuated histamine-induced secretion of vWF and did not inhibit basal secretion. VAS2870 did not change the degree of histamine-induced relaxation of rat aortic rings constricted by norepinephrine. We suggest that NOX inhibitors might be used as a tool for preventing thrombosis induced by histamine release from mast cells without affecting vasorelaxation.

Abstract
There is abundant evidence that H2O2 can act as an endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor in the resistance vasculature. However, whilst scavenging H2O2 can abolish endothelial dependent hyperpolarization (EDH) and the associated vascular relaxation in some arteries, EDH-dependent vasorelaxation can often be mimicked only by using relatively high concentrations of H2O2. We have examined the role of H2O2 in EDH-dependent vasodilatation by simultaneously measuring vascular diameter and changes in endothelial cell (EC) [Ca(2+)]i during the application of H2O2 or carbachol, which triggers EDH. Carbachol (10µM) induced dilatation of phenylephrine-preconstricted rat cremaster arterioles was largely (73%) preserved in the presence of indomethacin (3µM) and l-NAME (300µM). This residual NO- and prostacyclin-independent dilatation was reduced by 89% upon addition of apamin (0.5µM) and TRAM-34 (10µM), and by 74% when an extracellular ROS scavenging mixture of SOD and catalase (S&C; 100Uml(-1) each) was present. S&C also reduced the carbachol-induced EC [Ca(2+)]i increase by 74%. When applied in Ca(2+)-free external medium, carbachol caused a transient increase in EC [Ca(2+)]i. This was reduced by catalase, and was enhanced when 1µM H2O2 was present in the bath. H2O2 -induced dilatation, which occurred only at concentrations ≥100µM, was reduced by a blocking antibody to TRPM2, which had no effect on carbachol-induced responses. Similarly, iberotoxin and Rp-8bromo cGMP reduced the vasodilatation induced by H2O2, but not by carbachol. Inhibiting PLC, PLA2 or CYP450 2C9 each greatly reduced the carbachol-induced increase in EC [Ca(2+)]i and vasodilatation, but adding 10µM H2O2 during PLA2 or CYP450 2C9 inhibition completely restored both responses. The nature of the effective ROS species was investigated by using Fe(2+) chelators to block the formation of ∙OH. A cell permeant chelator was able to inhibit EC Ca(2+) store release, but cell impermeant chelators reduced both the vasodilatation and EC Ca(2+) influx, implying that ∙OH is required for these responses. The results indicate that rather than mediating EDH by acting directly on smooth muscle, H2O2 promotes EDH by acting within EC to enhance Ca(2+) release.

Abstract
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is responsible for maintaining systemic blood pressure, vascular remodeling and angiogenesis. In addition to producing NO, eNOS can also generate superoxide (O2-.) in the absence of the cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). Previous studies have shown that bovine eNOS serine 1179 (Serine 1177/human) phosphorylation critically modulates NO synthesis. However, the effect of serine 1179 phosphorylation on eNOS superoxide generation is unknown. Here, we used the phosphomimetic form of eNOS (S1179D) to determine the effect of S1179 phosphorylation on superoxide generating activity, and its sensitivity to regulation by BH4, Ca2+, and calmodulin (CAM). S1179D eNOS exhibited significantly increased superoxide generating activity and NADPH consumption compared to wild-type eNOS (WT eNOS). The superoxide generating activities of S1179D eNOS and WT eNOS did not differ significantly in their sensitivity to regulation by either Ca2+ or CaM. The sensitivity of the superoxide generating activity of S1179D eNOS to inhibition by BH4 was significantly reduced compared to WT eNOS. In eNOS-overexpressing 293 cells, BH4 depletion with 10mM DAHP for 48 hours followed by 50ng/ml VEGF for 30 min to phosphorylate eNOS S1179 increased ROS accumulation compared to DAHP-only treated cells. Meanwhile, MTT assay indicated that overexpression of eNOS in HEK293 cells decreased cellular viability compared to control cells at BH4 depletion condition (P<0.01). VEGF-mediated Serine 1179 phosphorylation further decreased the cellular viability in eNOS-overexpressing 293 cells (P<0.01). Our data demonstrate that eNOS serine 1179 phosphorylation, in addition to enhancing NO production, also profoundly affects superoxide generation: S1179 phosphorylation increases superoxide production while decreasing sensitivity to the inhibitory effect of BH4 on this activity.

Abstract
Solar UVA radiation (320-400 nm) is known to have immunomodulatory effects, but the detailed mechanisms involved are not fully elucidated. UVA irradiation has been shown to induce calcium oscillations in rat peritoneal mast cells due to NAD(P)H oxidase (NOX) activation, but the specific NOX isoforms have not been identified. In the present work effects of UVA irradiation were investigated in isolated rat peritoneal mast cells, in cultured rat mast cell line RBL-2H3, and in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC). It was found that UVA irradiation by alternate 340/380 nm (3.2-5.6 μW cm(-2)) or by LED (380 nm, 80 μW cm(-2)) induced calcium oscillations in isolated rat peritoneal mast cells, in RBL-2H3, and in BMMC. Such UVA-induced calcium oscillations resembled closely those induced by surface IgE receptor (FcεRI) activation. It was found that RBL-2H3 expressed high levels of gp91(phox) (NOX2), p22(phox), p67(phox), p47(phox), p40(phox), Rac1, Rac2, moderate levels of DUOX2, but did not express NOX1, NOX3, NOX4, or DUOX1. The specific cellular localizations of gp91(phox) (NOX2), p22(phox), p47(phox), p67(phox), p40(phox) and Rac1/2 were confirmed by immunocytochemistry. UVA-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in RBL-2H3 was completely suppressed by the NOX inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI) or by the antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC). siRNA suppression of gp91(phox) (NOX2), p22(phox) and p47(phox) expression inhibited markedly UVA-induced calcium oscillations, ROS and IL-6/LTC4 production in RBL-2H3. Taken together these data indicate that NOX2 plays an essential role in UVA irradiation-induced calcium oscillations, ROS and mediator production in mast cells.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock leads to endothelial cell barrier dysfunction resulting in microvascular hyperpermeability. Hemorrhagic shock-induced microvascular hyperpermeability is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with traumatic injuries. The results from our laboratory have illustrated a possible pathophysiological mechanism showing involvement of mitochondria-mediated "intrinsic" apoptotic signaling in regulating hemorrhagic shock-induced microvascular hyperpermeability. Hemorrhagic shock results in overexpression of Bcl-2 family of pro-apoptotic protein, BAK, in the microvascular endothelial cells. The increase in BAK initiates "intrinsic" apoptotic signaling cascade with the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c in the cytoplasm and activation of downstream effector caspase-3, leading to loss of endothelial cell barrier integrity. Thus, this review article offers a brief overview of important findings from our past and present research work along with new leads for future research. The summary of our research work will provide information leading to different avenues in developing novel strategies against microvascular hyperpermeability following hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Understanding isoform- and context-specific subcellular Nox reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase compartmentalization allows relevant functional inferences. This review addresses the interplay between Nox NADPH oxidases and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an increasingly evident player in redox pathophysiology given its role in redox protein folding and stress responses. RECENT ADVANCES Catalytic/regulatory transmembrane subunits are synthesized in the ER and their processing includes folding, N-glycosylation, heme insertion, p22phox heterodimerization, as shown for phagocyte Nox2. Dual oxidase (Duox) maturation also involves the regulation by ER-resident Duoxa2. The ER is the activation site for some isoforms, typically Nox4, but potentially other isoforms. Such location influences redox/Nox-mediated calcium signaling regulation via ER targets, such as sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA). Growing evidence suggests that Noxes are integral signaling elements of the unfolded protein response during ER stress, with Nox4 playing a dual prosurvival/proapoptotic role in this setting, whereas Nox2 enhances proapoptotic signaling. ER chaperones such as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) closely interact with Noxes. PDI supports growth factor-dependent Nox1 activation and mRNA expression, as well as migration in smooth muscle cells, and PDI overexpression induces acute spontaneous Nox activation. CRITICAL ISSUES Mechanisms of PDI effects include possible support of complex formation and RhoGTPase activation. In phagocytes, PDI supports phagocytosis, Nox activation, and redox-dependent interactions with p47phox. Together, the results implicate PDI as possible Nox organizer. FUTURE DIRECTIONS We propose that convergence between Noxes and ER may have evolutive roots given ER-related functional contexts, which paved Nox evolution, namely calcium signaling and pathogen killing. Overall, the interplay between Noxes and the ER may provide relevant insights in Nox-related (patho)physiology.

Abstract
Radiation leads to a rapid burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is considered to be one of the major causes of radiation-induced injury. ROS have previously been shown to induce changes in cytosolic Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺]i) including [Ca²⁺]i oscillation. However, the role of radiation in [Ca²⁺]i oscillation is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of ROS and X ray on [Ca²⁺]i oscillation, as well as their role in radiation-induced lung injury. Alveolar macrophages were cultured in the absence and presence of different doses of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) or exposed to X-ray irradiation with or without pretreatment of diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidases) or tetrandrine (TET, a calcium entry blocker) and cytosolic Ca²⁺ concentration was detected by fluorescent Ca²⁺ indicator Fura-2. Rat radiation lung injury was induced in vivo by using 40 Gy X ray and DPI or TET was used to prevent radiation-induced lung injury. The results showed that there was spontaneous [Ca²⁺]i oscillation in alveolar macrophages under normal conditions, and treatment of H₂O₂ (100-500 μM) or 2 Gy X ray inhibited the spontaneous [Ca²⁺]i oscillation and induced [Ca²⁺]i rise. TET abolished H₂O₂ or X ray induced [Ca²⁺]i rise in alveolar macrophages, and attenuated X ray- induced rat alveolitis in vivo. DPI prevented X-ray-induced inhibition of [Ca²⁺]i oscillation in alveolar macrophages and prevented X-ray-induced rat alveolitis. Taken together, the data suggest that the disruption of [Ca²⁺]i oscillation and induction of [Ca²⁺]i rise through ROS is involved in the mechanism of radiation-induced lung injury.

Abstract
During sepsis, acute lung injury (ALI) results from activation of innate immune cells and endothelial cells by endotoxins, leading to systemic inflammation through proinflammatory cytokine overproduction, oxidative stress, and intracellular Ca2+ overload. Despite considerable investigation, the underlying molecular mechanism(s) leading to LPS-induced ALI remain elusive. To determine whether stromal interaction molecule 1-dependent (STIM1-dependent) signaling drives endothelial dysfunction in response to LPS, we investigated oxidative and STIM1 signaling of EC-specific Stim1-knockout mice. Here we report that LPS-mediated Ca2+ oscillations are ablated in ECs deficient in Nox2, Stim1, and type II inositol triphosphate receptor (Itpr2). LPS-induced nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) nuclear accumulation was abrogated by either antioxidant supplementation or Ca2+ chelation. Moreover, ECs lacking either Nox2 or Stim1 failed to trigger store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCe) and NFAT nuclear accumulation. LPS-induced vascular permeability changes were reduced in EC-specific Stim1-/- mice, despite elevation of systemic cytokine levels. Additionally, inhibition of STIM1 signaling prevented receptor-interacting protein 3-dependent (RIP3-dependent) EC death. Remarkably, BTP2, a small-molecule calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel blocker administered after insult, halted LPS-induced vascular leakage and pulmonary edema. These results indicate that ROS-driven Ca2+ signaling promotes vascular barrier dysfunction and that the SOCe machinery may provide crucial therapeutic targets to limit sepsis-induced ALI.

Abstract
Inflammation is a complex and potentially life-threatening condition that involves the participation of a variety of chemical mediators, signaling pathways, and cell types. The microcirculation, which is critical for the initiation and perpetuation of an inflammatory response, exhibits several characteristic functional and structural changes in response to inflammation. These include vasomotor dysfunction (impaired vessel dilation and constriction), the adhesion and transendothelial migration of leukocytes, endothelial barrier dysfunction (increased vascular permeability), blood vessel proliferation (angiogenesis), and enhanced thrombus formation. These diverse responses of the microvasculature largely reflect the endothelial cell dysfunction that accompanies inflammation and the central role of these cells in modulating processes as varied as blood flow regulation, angiogenesis, and thrombogenesis. The importance of endothelial cells in inflammation-induced vascular dysfunction is also predicated on the ability of these cells to produce and respond to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Inflammation seems to upset the balance between nitric oxide and superoxide within (and surrounding) endothelial cells, which is necessary for normal vessel function. This review is focused on defining the molecular targets in the vessel wall that interact with reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide to produce the characteristic functional and structural changes that occur in response to inflammation. This analysis of the literature is consistent with the view that reactive oxygen and nitrogen species contribute significantly to the diverse vascular responses in inflammation and supports efforts that are directed at targeting these highly reactive species to maintain normal vascular health in pathological conditions that are associated with acute or chronic inflammation.

Abstract
In pregnancy, vascular nitric oxide (NO) production is increased in the systemic and more so in the uterine vasculature, thereby supporting maximal perfusion of the uterus. This high level of functionality is matched in the umbilical vein, and in corresponding disease states such as pre-eclampsia, reduced vascular responses are seen in both uterine artery and umbilical vein. In any endothelial cell, NO actually produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is determined by the maximum capacity of the cell (eNOS expression levels), eNOS phosphorylation state, and the intracellular [Ca(2+)](i) concentration in response to circulating hormones or physical forces. Herein, we discuss how pregnancy-specific reprogramming of NO output is determined as much by pregnancy adaptation of [Ca(2+)](i) signaling responses as it is by eNOS expression and phosphorylation. By examining the changes in [Ca(2+)](i) signaling responses from human hand vein endothelial cells, uterine artery endothelial cells, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells in (where appropriate) nonpregnant, normal pregnant, and pathological pregnant (pre-eclamptic) state, it is clear that pregnancy adaptation of NO output occurs at the level of sustained phase 'capacitative entry' [Ca(2+)](i) response, and the adapted response is lacking in pre-eclamptic pregnancies. Moreover, gap junction function is an essential permissive regulator of the capacitative response and impairment of NO output results from any inhibitor of gap junction function, or capacitative entry using TRPC channels. Identifying these [Ca(2+)](i) signaling mechanisms underlying normal pregnancy adaptation of NO output not only provides novel targets for future treatment of diseases of pregnancy but may also apply to other common forms of hypertension.

Abstract
[Ca2+]i oscillations drive downstream events, like transcription, in a frequency-dependent manner. Why [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency regulates transcription has not been clearly revealed. A variation in [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency apparently leads to a variation in the time duration of cumulated [Ca2+]i elevations or cumulated [Ca2+]i spike duration. By manipulating [Ca2+]i spike duration, we generated a series of [Ca2+]i oscillations with the same frequency but different cumulated [Ca2+]i spike durations, as well as [Ca2+]i oscillations with the different frequencies but the same cumulated [Ca2+]i spike duration. Molecular assays demonstrated that, when generated in ‘artificial’ models alone, under physiologically simulated conditions or repetitive pulses of agonist exposure, [Ca2+]i oscillation regulates NFκB transcriptional activity, phosphorylation of IκBα and Ca2+-dependent gene expression all in a way actually dependent on cumulated [Ca2+]i spike duration whether or not frequency varies. This study underlines that [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency regulates NFκB transcriptional activity through cumulated [Ca2+]i spike-duration-mediated IκBα phosphorylation.

MATERIAL H. pylori in Korean isolates, human gastric epithelial AGS cells TREATMENT AGS cells pretreated with or without an NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) are cultured in the presence of H. pylori at a bacterium/cell ratio of 300:1. METHODS Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MCP-1 were determined by confocal microscopy and enzyme-linked immonosorbent assay. NADPH oxidase activity was measured by lucigenin assay. mRNA expression of MCP-1 was analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Levels of MAPKs were assessed by Western blot analysis. RESULTS H. pylori induced increase in ROS, NADPH oxidase activity, MCP-1 expression, and the activation of MAPKs including extracellular signal-regulated kinases, p38, and jun N-terminal kinases in AGS cells, which was inhibited by DPI. CONCLUSION Inhibiting NADPH oxidase by DPI suppresses H. pylori-induced activation of MAPKs and MCP-1 expression in AGS cells.

Abstract
Pear (Pyrus pyrifolia L.) has an S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) mechanism, and S-RNase has also been implicated in the rejection of self-pollen and genetically identical pollen. However, RNA degradation might be only the beginning of the SI response, not the end. Recent in vitro studies suggest that S-RNase triggers mitochondrial alteration and DNA degradation in the incompatible pollen tube of Pyrus pyrifolia, and it seems that a relationship exists between self S-RNase, actin depolymerization and DNA degradation. To further uncover the SI response in pear, the relationship between self S-RNase and tip-localized reactive oxygen species (ROS) was evaluated. Our results show that S-RNase specifically disrupted tip-localized ROS of incompatible pollen tubes via arrest of ROS formation in mitochondria and cell walls. The mitochondrial ROS disruption was related to mitochondrial alteration, whereas cell wall ROS disruption was related to a decrease in NADPH. Tip-localized ROS disruption not only decreased the Ca(2+) current and depolymerized the actin cytoskeleton, but it also induced nuclear DNA degradation. These results indicate that tip-localized ROS disruption occurs in Pyrus pyrifolia SI. Importantly, we demonstrated nuclear DNA degradation in the incompatible pollen tube after pollination in vivo. This result validates our in vitro system in vivo.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effect of total salvianolic acid (TSA) on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced rat mesenteric microcirculatory dysfunctions.
METHODS: Male Wistar rats were randomly distributed into 5 groups (n = 6 each): Sham group and I/R group (infused with saline), TSA group, TSA + I/R group and I/R + TSA group (infused with TSA, 5 mg/kg per hour). Mesenteric I/R were conducted by a ligation of the mesenteric artery and vein (10 min) and subsequent release of the occlusion. TSA was continuously infused either starting from 10 min before the ischemia or 10 min after reperfusion. Changes in mesenteric microcirculatory variables, including diameter of venule, velocity of red blood cells in venule, leukocyte adhesion, free radicals released from venule, albumin leakage and mast cell degranulation, were observed through an inverted intravital microscope. Meanwhile, the expression of adhesion molecules CD11b/CD18 on neutrophils was evaluated by flow cytometry. Ultrastructural evidence of mesenteric venules damage was assessed after microcirculation observation.
RESULTS: I/R led to multiple responses in mesenteric post-capillary venules, including a significant increase in the adhesion of leukocytes, production of oxygen radicals in the venular wall, albumin efflux and enhanced mast cell degranulation in vivo. All the I/R-induced manifestations were significantly reduced by pre- or post-treatment with TSA, with the exception that the I/R-induced increase in mast cell degranulation was inhibited only by pre-treatment with TSA. Moreover, pre- or post-treatment with TSA significantly attenuated the expression of CD11b/CD18 on neutrophils, reducing the increase in the number of caveolae in the endothelial cells of mesentery post-capillary venules induced by I/R.
CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated that TSA protects from and ameliorates the microcirculation disturbance induced by I/R, which was associated with TSA inhibiting the production of oxygen-free radicals in the venular wall and the expression of CD11b/CD18 on neutrophils.

Abstract
Endothelial cells (ECs) play a major role in the pathophysiology of various diseases, conditions in which stress proteins are most probably involved. Both in humans and in experimental models, hyperlipidemia induces early alterations of plasma components that in turn have a profound effect on EC. Activated ECs change their basal characteristics becoming more permeable to lipoproteins, increasing the synthesis of their basal lamina, and express new adhesion molecules; the cells are "activated". In lesion-prone areas, the ECs are the first cells to experience the impact of hyperlipidemia. In this study, human ECs were activated by exposure to serum from hyperlipidemic human subjects. In this condition, the EC gradually become loaded with lipid droplets and turn into endothelial-derived foam cells. The EC-derived foam cells express adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, VLA-4), show enhanced intracellular Ca(2+) release, and demonstrate high level of heat shock proteins (Hsp27, Hsp70, and Hsp90). In this study, we bring evidence that the EC-derived foam cells in culture proved to be an useful model to identify the multiple changes induced in activated ECs under hyperlipidemic stress. On the basis of these considerations, future studies using this model system will help to elucidate the molecular basis of the modulator role of molecular chaperones (Hsp) in atherosclerosis under various environmental conditions.

Abstract
Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), originally identified as the major receptor for oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in endothelial cells, plays a major role in the pathology of vascular diseases. Green tea consumption is associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality in some epidemiological studies. In the present study, we hypothesized that the most abundant polyphenolic compound in tea, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), can downregulate parameters of endothelial dysfunction by modulating LOX-1-regulated cell signaling. In cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), exposure to oxLDL (130 microg/ml), which led to an increase in LOX-1 expression at the RNA and protein levels, was abrogated by addition of EGCG or DPI, a well-known inhibitor of flavoproteins, suggesting the involvement of NADPH oxidase. Furthermore, oxLDL rapidly activated the membrane translocation of Rac-1 and p47phox and the subsequent induction of ROS generation, which was suppressed markedly by pretreatment with EGCG or anti-LOX-1 monoclonal antibody. OxLDL also increased p38 MAPK phosphorylation and decreased phosphorylation of the amino-terminal region of Akt, with maximal induction at about 30 min, and NF-kappaB phosphorylation within 1 h, resulting in redox-sensitive signaling. In addition, oxLDL diminished the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), enhanced the expression of endothelin-1 and adhesion molecules (ICAM, E-selectin, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), and increased the adherence of monocytic THP-1 cells to HUVECs. Pretreatment with EGCG, however, exerted significant cytoprotective effects in all events. These data suggest that EGCG inhibits the oxLDL-induced LOX-1-mediated signaling pathway, at least in part, by inhibiting NADPH oxidase and consequent ROS-enhanced LOX-1 expression, which contributes to further ROS generation and the subsequent activation of NF-kappaB via the p38 MAPK pathway. Results from this study may provide insight into a possible molecular mechanism by which EGCG suppresses oxLDL-mediated vascular endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which mitochondria regulate the sustained phase of agonist-induced responses in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration as an independent organelle in whole is not clear. By exposing to ethidium bromide and supplying pyruvate and uridine, we established mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-depleted rat airway smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) with maintained cellular energy. Upon an exposure to 2 μM histamine, [Ca2+]i in control RASMCs increased to a peak followed by a plateau above baseline, whereas [Ca2+]i in mtDNA-depleted RASMCs jumped to a peak and then declined to baseline without any plateau. mtDNA depletion apparently attenuated intracellular reactive oxygen species generation induced by histamine. By coexposure to 2 μM histamine and 0.1 μM exogenous H2O2, which did not affect [Ca2+]i by itself, the above difference in [Ca2+]i kinetics in mtDNA-depleted RASMCs was reversed. Intracellular H2O2 decomposition abolishes histamine-induced sustained elevation in [Ca2+]i in RASMCs. Thus, mitochondria regulate agonist-induced sustained [Ca2+]i elevation by a H2O2-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The small G protein Rac regulates cytoskeletal protein dynamics in neuronal growth cones and has been implicated in axon growth, guidance, and branching. Intracellular Ca(2+) is another well known regulator of growth cone function; however, effects of Rac activity on intracellular Ca(2+) metabolism have not been well characterized. Here, we investigate how Rac1 activity affects release of Ca(2+) from intracellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores stimulated by application of serotonin (5-hydroxytriptamine). We also address how Rac1 effects on microtubule assembly dynamics affect distribution of Ca(2+) release sites. Multimode fluorescent microscopy was used to correlate microtubule and ER behavior, and ratiometric imaging was used to assess intracellular Ca(2+) dynamics. We report that Rac1 activity both promotes Ca(2+) release and affects its spatial distribution in neuronal growth cones. The underlying mechanism involves synergistic Rac1 effects on microtubule assembly and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Rac1 activity modulates Ca(2+) by 1) enhancing microtubule assembly which in turn promotes spread of the ER-based Ca(2+) release machinery into the growth cone periphery, and 2) by increasing ROS production which facilitated inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-dependent Ca(2+) release. These results cast Rac1 as a key modulator of intracellular Ca(2+) function in the neuronal growth cone.

Abstract
Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of maternal hypertension in pregnancy and is associated with fetal growth restriction, premature birth, and fetal and maternal mortality. Activation and dysfunction of the maternal and fetal endothelium in PE appears to be a consequence of increased oxidative stress, resulting from elevated levels of circulating lipid peroxides. Accumulating evidence implicates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the pathogenesis of vascular dysfunction in PE, perhaps involving a disturbance in intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. Several ion-transport pathways are highly sensitive to oxidative stress, and the resulting modulation of ion transport by ROS will affect intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. We review the evidence that changes in ion transport induced by ROS may be linked with abnormalities in Ca(2+)-mediated signal transduction, leading to endothelial and smooth muscle dysfunction in maternal and fetal circulations in PE. As dysregulation of Ca(2+) signaling in fetal umbilical endothelial cells is maintained in culture and embryonic, fetal, and postnatal development is affected by the cellular redox state, we hypothesize that impaired redox signaling in PE may influence "programming" of the fetal cardiovascular system and endothelial function in adulthood.

Abstract
Inflammatory brain disease may damage cerebral vascular endothelium leading to cerebral blood flow dysregulation. The proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha causes oxidative stress and apoptosis in cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (CMVEC) from newborn pigs. We investigated contribution of major cellular sources of reactive oxygen species to endothelial inflammatory response. Nitric oxide synthase and xanthine oxidase inhibitors (N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine and allopurinol) had no effect, while mitochondrial electron transport inhibitors (CCCP, 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, and rotenone) attenuated TNF-alpha-induced superoxide (O(2)(*-)) and apoptosis. NADPH oxidase inhibitors (diphenylene iodonium and apocynin) greatly reduced TNF-alpha-evoked O(2)(*-) generation and apoptosis. TNF-alpha rapidly increased NADPH oxidase activity in CMVEC. Nox4, the cell-specific catalytic subunit of NADPH oxidase, is highly expressed in CMVEC, contributes to basal O(2)(*-) production, and accounts for a burst of oxidative stress in response to TNF-alpha. Nox4 small interfering RNA, but not Nox2, knockdown prevented oxidative stress and apoptosis caused by TNF-alpha in CMVEC. Nox4 is colocalized with HO-2, the constitutive isoform of heme oxygenase (HO), which is critical for endothelial protection against TNF-alpha toxicity. The products of HO activity, bilirubin and carbon monoxide (CO, as a CO-releasing molecule, CORM-A1), inhibited Nox4-generated O(2)(*-) and apoptosis caused by TNF-alpha stimulation. We conclude that Nox4 is the primary source of inflammation- and TNF-alpha-induced oxidative stress leading to apoptosis in brain endothelial cells. The ability of CO and bilirubin to combat TNF-alpha-induced oxidative stress by inhibiting Nox4 activity and/or by O(2)(*-) scavenging, taken together with close intracellular compartmentalization of HO-2 and Nox4 in cerebral vascular endothelium, may contribute to HO-2 cytoprotection against inflammatory cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
Objective—
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that H
2
O
2
contributes to the EDHF phenomenon by mobilizing endothelial Ca
2+
stores.
Methods and Results—
Myograph studies with rabbit iliac arteries demonstrated that EDHF-type relaxations evoked by the SERCA inhibitor cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) required activation of K
Ca
channels and were potentiated by exogenous H
2
O
2
and the thiol oxidant thimerosal. Preincubation with a submaximal concentration of CPA unmasked an ability of exogenous H
2
O
2
to stimulate an EDHF-type response that was sensitive to K
Ca
channel blockade. Imaging of cytosolic and endoplasmic reticulum [Ca
2+
] in rabbit aortic valve endothelial cells with Fura-2 and Mag-fluo-4 demonstrated that H
2
O
2
and thimerosal, which sensitizes the InsP
3
receptor, both enhanced CPA-evoked Ca
2+
release from stores, and that the potentiating effect of H
2
O
2
was suppressed by the cell-permeant thiol reductant glutathione monoethylester. CPA-evoked relaxations were attenuated by exogenous catalase and potentiated by the catalase inhibitor 3-aminotriazole, and were abolished by the connexin-mimetic peptide
43
Gap26, which interrupts intercellular communication via gap junctions constructed from connexin 43.
Conclusions—
H
2
O
2
can enhance EDHF-type relaxations by potentiating Ca
2+
release from endothelial stores, probably via redox modification of the InsP
3
receptor, leading to the opening of hyperpolarizing endothelial K
Ca
channels and an electrotonically-mediated relaxant response.

Abstract
A physiological membrane-receptor agonist typically stimulates oscillations, of varying frequencies, in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Whether and how [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency regulates agonist-stimulated downstream events, such as gene expression, in non-excitable cells remain unknown. By precisely manipulating [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency in histamine-stimulated vascular endothelial cells (ECs), we demonstrate that the gene expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) critically depends on [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency in the presence, as well as the absence, of histamine stimulation. However, histamine stimulation enhanced the efficiency of [Ca2+]i-oscillation-frequency-regulated VCAM1 gene expression, versus [Ca2+]i oscillations alone in the absence of histamine stimulation. Furthermore, a [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency previously observed to be the mean frequency in histamine-stimulated ECs was found to optimize VCAM1 mRNA expression. All the above effects were abolished or attenuated by blocking histamine-stimulated generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), another intracellular signaling pathway, and were restored by supplementary application of a low level of H2O2. Endogenous NF-kappaB activity is similarly regulated by [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency, as well as its co-operation with ROS during histamine stimulation. This study shows that [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency cooperates with ROS to efficiently regulate agonist-stimulated gene expression, and provides a novel and general strategy for studying [Ca2+]i signal kinetics in agonist-stimulated downstream events.

Abstract
NADPH oxidase has been considered a major source of reactive oxygen species in phagocytic and non-phagocytic cells. Apoptosis linked to oxidative stress has been implicated in pancreatitis. Recently, we demonstrated that NADPH oxidase subunits Nox1, p27phox, p47phox, and p67phox are constitutively expressed in pancreatic acinar cells, which are activated by cerulein, a cholecystokinin analogue. Cerulein induces an acute and edematous form of pancreatitis. We investigated whether inhibition of NADPH oxidase by diphenyleneiodonium suppresses the production of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis by determining viable cell numbers, DNA fragmentation, TUNEL staining, caspase-3 activity, and the expression of apoptosis-inducing factor in pancreatic acinar AR42J cells stimulated with cerulein. Inhibition on NADPH oxidase by diphenyleneiodonium was assessed by the alterations in NADPH oxidase activity and translocation of the cytosolic subunits p67phox and p47phox to the membrane. Intracellular Ca2+ level was monitored to investigate the relationship between NADPH oxidase and Ca2+ in cells stimulated with cerulein. As a result, cerulein induced the activation of NADPH, increased production of reactive oxygen species, and apoptotic indices determined by the expression of apoptosis-inducing factor, caspase-3 activation, TUNEL staining, DNA fragmentation, and cell viability. Treatment with DPI inhibited cerulein-induced activation of NADPH oxidase, the production of reactive oxygen species, and apoptosis, but not the increase of intracellular Ca2+ levels in pancreatic acinar cells. These results demonstrate that the cerulein-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+ level may be an upstream event of NADPH oxidase activation. Diphenyleneiodonium, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, inhibits the expression of apoptosis-inducing factor and caspase-3 activation, and thus apoptosis in pancreatic acinar cells.

Abstract
Disturbances in vascular function contribute to the development of several diseases of increasing prevalence and thereby contribute significantly to human mortality and morbidity. Atherosclerosis, diabetes, heart failure, and ischemia with attendant reperfusion injury share many of the same risk factors, among the most important being oxidative stress and alterations in the blood concentrations of compounds that influence oxidative stress, such as oxidized low-density lipoprotein. In this review, we focus on endothelial cells: cells in the frontline against these disturbances. Because ATP supplies in endothelial cells are relatively independent of mitochondrial oxidative pathways, the mitochondria of endothelial cells have been somewhat neglected. However, they are emerging as agents with diverse roles in modulating the dynamics of intracellular calcium and the generation of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide. The mitochondria may also constitute critical "targets" of oxidative stress, because survival of endothelial cells can be compromised by opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore or by mitochondrial pathways of apoptosis. In addition, evidence suggests that endothelial mitochondria may play a "reconnaissance" role. For example, although the exact mechanism remains obscure, endothelial mitochondria may sense levels of oxygen in the blood and relay this information to cardiac myocytes as well as modulating the vasodilatory response mediated by endothelial nitric oxide.

Abstract
For a long time, superoxide generation by an NADPH oxidase was considered as an oddity only found in professional phagocytes. Over the last years, six homologs of the cytochrome subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase were found: NOX1, NOX3, NOX4, NOX5, DUOX1, and DUOX2. Together with the phagocyte NADPH oxidase itself (NOX2/gp91(phox)), the homologs are now referred to as the NOX family of NADPH oxidases. These enzymes share the capacity to transport electrons across the plasma membrane and to generate superoxide and other downstream reactive oxygen species (ROS). Activation mechanisms and tissue distribution of the different members of the family are markedly different. The physiological functions of NOX family enzymes include host defense, posttranlational processing of proteins, cellular signaling, regulation of gene expression, and cell differentiation. NOX enzymes also contribute to a wide range of pathological processes. NOX deficiency may lead to immunosuppresion, lack of otoconogenesis, or hypothyroidism. Increased NOX activity also contributes to a large number or pathologies, in particular cardiovascular diseases and neurodegeneration. This review summarizes the current state of knowledge of the functions of NOX enzymes in physiology and pathology.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a major role in regulating synthesis, folding, and orderly transport of proteins. It is also essentially involved in various cellular signaling processes, primarily by its function as a dynamic Ca(2+) store. Compared to the cytosol, oxidizing conditions are found in the ER that allow oxidation of cysteine residues in nascent polypeptide chains to form intramolecular disulfide bonds. However, compounds and enzymes such as PDI that catalyze disulfide bonds become reduced and have to be reoxidized for further catalytic cycles. A number of enzymes, among them products of the ERO1 gene, appear to provide oxidizing equivalents, and oxygen appears to be the final oxidant in aerobic living organisms. Thus, protein oxidation in the ER is connected with generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Changes in the redox state and the presence of ROS also affect the Ca(2+) homeostasis by modulating the functionality of ER-based channels and buffering chaperones. In addition, a close relationship exists between oxidative stress and ER stress, which both may activate signaling events leading to a rebalance of folding capacity and folding demand or to cell death. Thus, redox homeostasis appears to be a prerequisite for proper functioning of the ER.

Abstract
Mitochondria are an important source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed as a side product of oxidative phosphorylation. The main sites of oxidant production are complex I and complex III, where electrons flowing from reduced substrates are occasionally transferred to oxygen to form superoxide anion and derived products. These highly reactive compounds have a well-known role in pathological states and in some cellular responses. However, although their link with Ca(2+) is well studied in cell death, it has been hardly investigated in normal cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) signals. Several Ca(2+) transport systems are modulated by oxidation. Oxidation increases the activity of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors, the main channels releasing Ca(2+) from intracellular stores in response to cellular stimulation. On the other hand, mitochondria are known to control [Ca(2+)](i) signals by Ca(2+) uptake and release during cytosolic calcium mobilization, specially in mitochondria situated close to Ca(2+) release channels. Mitochondrial inhibitors modify calcium signals in numerous cell types, including oscillations evoked by physiological stimulus. Although these inhibitors reduce mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake, they also impair ROS production in several systems. In keeping with this effect, recent reports show that antioxidants or oxidant scavengers also inhibit physiological calcium signals. Furthermore, there is evidence that mitochondria generate ROS in response to cell stimulation, an effect suppressed by mitochondrial inhibitors that simultaneously block [Ca(2+)](i) signals. Together, the data reviewed here indicate that Ca(2+)-mobilizing stimulus generates mitochondrial ROS, which, in turn, facilitate [Ca(2+)](i) signals, a new aspect in the biology of mitochondria. Finally, the potential implications for biological modeling are discussed.

Abstract
AIM To find out if the two aspects of asthma (chronic airway inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness) are related to hypersensitivity of calcium signaling in bronchial epithelial cells. METHODS Porcine bronchial epithelial cells (PBEC) were divided into sensitized (S) and non-sensitized (N) groups. In group S, the cells were preincubated with serum from ovalbumin sensitized guinea pigs. In group N, the cells were preincubated with serum from nonsensitized guinea pigs. Single cell calcium imaging and ELISA-based NF-kappaB activity were used to evaluate the histamine-stimulated intracellular free calcium level and NF-kappaB activity, respectively. RESULTS First, 0.1 micromol/L histamine could induce [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations in PBEC of group S, but not in group N. Second, 1 micromol/L histamine could induce [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations of PBEC in both group S and group N. The [Ca(2+)](i) oscillation frequency of PBEC was significantly higher in group S than in group N, though the [Ca(2+)](i) oscillation amplitude showed no difference between the two groups. Finally, when 10 micromol/L histamine was used to stimulate PBEC, a transient initial increase followed by a sustained elevation (FSE) of [Ca(2+)](i) was observed in PBEC in both groups. The amplitude of the FSE of [Ca(2+)](i) in PBEC was significantly higher in group S than in group N. The subsequent NF-kappaB activity was in accordance to the calcium oscillation frequency evoked by histamine, but not to the amplitude. CONCLUSION It was suggested that the increased sensitivity of calcium signaling in bronchial epithelial cells might contribute to the exorbitant inflammation or increased susceptibility in asthmatic airway epithelial cells.

Abstract
In Part 1 of the review of experimental data concerning reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and use, their indispensable role in regulation of multiple physiologic processes is examined. Part 2 considers the unique property of reactions in which ROS participates, the generation of energy of electronic excitation (EEE). Because of incessant ROS cycling, EEE is continuously produced in aerobic organisms. It may be used as an energy activator for multiple biochemical reactions and also may function as a specific signaling factor. This approach allows the perception of the beneficial effects of hydrogen peroxide, ozone, other ROS therapy, and foods rich in antioxidants. Both insufficient production of ROS and distortions in their use may cause anomalies in coordination of ROS generation and use, resulting in the deranged operation of biochemical and physiologic processes and the development of pathology.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species, such as the superoxide anion, H2O2, and the hydroxyl radical, have been considered as cytotoxic by-products of cellular metabolism. However, recent studies have provided evidence that H2O2 serves as a signaling molecule modulating various physiological functions. Here we investigated the effect of H2O2 on the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ signaling in rat cortical astrocytes. H2O2 triggered the generation of oscillations of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in a concentration-dependent manner over the range 10-100 microM. The H2O2-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations persisted in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ and were prevented by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin. The H2O2-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations were not inhibited by pretreatment with ryanodine but were prevented by 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and caffeine, known antagonists of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. H2O2 activated phospholipase C (PLC) gamma1 in a dose-dependent manner, and U73122, an inhibitor of PLC, completely abolished the H2O2-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations. In addition, RNA interference against PLCgamma1 and the expression of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sequestering "sponge" prevented the generation of [Ca2+]i oscillations. H2O2-induced [Ca2+]i oscillations and PLC1 phosphorylation were inhibited by pretreatment with dithiothreitol, a sulfhydryl-reducing agent. Finally, epidermal growth factor induced H2O2 production, PLCgamma1 activation, and [Ca2+]i increases, which were attenuated by N-acetylcysteine and diphenyleneiodonium and by the overexpression of peroxiredoxin type II. Therefore, we conclude that low concentrations of exogenously applied H2O2 generate [Ca2+]i oscillations by activating PLCgamma1 through sulfhydryl oxidation-dependent mechanisms. Furthermore, we show that this mechanism underlies the modulatory effect of endogenously produced H2O2 on epidermal growth factor-induced Ca2+ signaling in rat cortical astrocytes.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a well-documented component of living cells. It plays important roles in host defense and oxidative biosynthetic reactions. In addition there is growing evidence that at low levels, H2O2 also functions as a signaling agent, particularly in higher organisms. This review evaluates the evidence that H2O2 functions as a signaling agent in higher organisms in light of the known biology and biochemistry of H2O2. All aerobic organisms studied to date from prokaryotes to humans appear to tightly regulate their intracellular H2O2 concentrations at relatively similar levels. Multiple biochemical strategies for rapidly reacting with these low endogenous levels of H2O2 have been elucidated from the study of peroxidases and catalases. Well-defined biochemical pathways involved in the response to exogenous H2O2 have been described in both prokaryotes and yeast. In animals and plants, regulated enzymatic systems for generating H2O2 have been described. In addition oxidation-dependent steps in signal transduction pathways are being uncovered, and evidence is accumulating regarding the nature of the specific reactive oxygen species involved in each of these pathways. Application of physiologic levels of H2O2 to mammalian cells has been shown to stimulate biological responses and to activate specific biochemical pathways in these cells.

Abstract
Extracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](o)) regulates the functions of many cell types through a G protein-coupled [Ca(2+)](o)-sensing receptor (CaR). Whether the receptor is functionally expressed in vascular endothelial cells is largely unknown. In cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC), RT-PCR yielded the expected 555-bp product corresponding to the CaR, and CaR protein was demonstrated by fluorescence immunostaining and Western blot. RT-PCR also demonstrated the expression in HAEC of alternatively spliced variants of the CaR lacking exon 5. Although stimulation of fura 2-loaded HAEC by several CaR agonists (high [Ca(2+)](o), neomycin, and gadolinium) failed to increase intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), the CaR agonist spermine stimulated an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) that was diminished in buffer without Ca(2+) and was abolished after depletion of an intracellular Ca(2+) pool with thapsigargin or after blocking IP(3)- and ryanodine receptor-mediated Ca(2+) release with xestospongin C and with high concentration ryanodine, respectively. Spermine stimulated an increase in DAF-FM fluorescence in HAEC, consistent with NO production. Both the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and in NO production were reduced or absent in HAEC transfected with siRNA specifically targeted to the CaR. HAEC express a functional CaR that responds to the endogenous polyamine spermine with an increase in [Ca(2+)](i), primarily due to release of IP(3)- and ryanodine-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) stores, leading to the production of NO. Expression of alternatively spliced variants of the CaR may result in the absence of a functional response to other known CaR agonists in HAEC.

Abstract
Lung capillary endothelial cells (ECs) are a critical target of oxygen toxicity and play a central role in the pathogenesis of hyperoxic lung injury. To determine mechanisms and time course of EC activation in normobaric hyperoxia, we measured endothelial concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cytosolic calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) by in situ imaging of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF) and fura 2 fluorescence, respectively, and translocation of the small GTPase Rac1 by immunofluorescence in isolated perfused rat lungs. Endothelial DCF fluorescence and [Ca(2+)](i) increased continuously yet reversibly during a 90-min interval of hyperoxic ventilation with 70% O(2), demonstrating progressive ROS generation and second messenger signaling. ROS formation increased exponentially with higher O(2) concentrations. ROS and [Ca(2+)](i) responses were blocked by the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor rotenone, whereas inhibitors of NAD(P)H oxidase and the intracellular Ca(2+) chelator BAPTA predominantly attenuated the late phase of the hyperoxia-induced DCF fluorescence increase after > 30 min. Rac1 translocation in lung capillary ECs was barely detectable at normoxia but was prominent after 60 min of hyperoxia and could be blocked by rotenone and BAPTA. We conclude that hyperoxia induces ROS formation in lung capillary ECs, which initially originates from the mitochondrial electron transport chain but subsequently involves activation of NAD(P)H oxidase by endothelial [Ca(2+)](i) signaling and Rac1 activation. Our findings demonstrate rapid activation of ECs by hyperoxia in situ and identify mechanisms that may be relevant in the initiation of hyperoxic lung injury.

Abstract
NADPH oxidase produces a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mainly in phagocytic cells. ROS are involved in NF-kappaB activation, cytokine expression and thus, pathogenesis of pancreatitis. However, the source of ROS in pancreatic acinar cells has not been clarified. Cerulein rapidly induces acute and edematous form of pancreatitis. We investigated whether pancreatic acinar cells contain NADPH oxidase, and whether NADPH oxidase mediates interleukin-6 (IL-6) in pancreatic acinar AR42J cells stimulated with cerulein. Expression of NADPH oxidase subunits and NADPH oxidase activity were determined in the cells by immunofluorescence staining and lucigenin luminescence, respectively. Oxidant-sensitive nuclear transcription factor NF-kappaB activation was monitored by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. IL-6 expression was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium (DPI), antioxidant rebamipide, and antisense oligonucleotides (AS ODNs) for NADPH oxidase subunits p22phox and p47phox were used to determine the involvement of NADPH oxidase in NF-kappaB activation and IL-6 expression in AR42J cells. As a result, pancreatic acinar AR42J cells constitutively express NADPH oxidase subunits p67phox and p47phox in the cytosol and Nox1 and p22phox in the membrane. Cerulein-stimulated NADPH oxidase activity and induced NF-kappaB activation and IL-6 expression in AR42J cells. Treatment of DPI or rebamipide and transfection of AS ODNs for NADPH oxidase subunits suppressed cerulein-induced NF-kappaB activation and IL-6 expression compared to S ODNs. In conclusion, NADPH oxidase may mediate the expression of inflammatory cytokines by stimulating NF-kappaB activation in pancreatic acinar cells during the course of pancreatitis.
