Abstract
The impact of radiation-induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the biological effects of X-rays and carbon-ion beams was investigated using a selenium-deficient (SeD) mouse model. Selenium is the active center of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and SeD mice lack the ability to degrade H2O2. Male and female SeD mice were prepared by feeding a torula yeast-based SeD diet and ultrapure water. Thirty-day survival rates after whole-body irradiation, radiation-induced leg contracture, and MRI-based redox imaging of the brain were assessed and compared between SeD and normal mice. Thirty-day lethality after whole-body 5.6 Gy irradiation with X-rays or carbon-ion beams was higher in the SeD mice than in the normal mice, while SeD did not give the notable difference between X-rays and carbon-ion beams. SeD also did not affect the maximum leg contracture level after irradiation with carbon-ion beams, but delayed the leg contraction rate. In addition, no marked effects of SeD were observed on variations in the redox status of the brain after irradiation. Collectively, the present results indicate that SeD slightly altered the biological effects of X-rays and/or carbon-ion beams. GSH-Px processes endogenous H2O2 generated through mitochondrial respiration, but does not have the capacity to degrade H2O2 produced by irradiation.

Hydrogen Peroxide Promotes the Production of Radiation-Derived EVs Containing Mitochondrial Proteins. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11112119. [PMID: 36358489 PMCID: PMC9686922 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11112119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
In spite of extensive successes, cancer recurrence after radiation treatment (RT) remains one of the significant challenges in the cure of localized prostate cancer (PCa). This study focuses on elucidating a novel adaptive response to RT that could contribute to cancer recurrence. Here, we used PC3 cell line, an adenocarcinoma from a bone metastasis and radio-resistant clone 695 cell line, which survived after total radiation dose of 66 Gy (2 Gy × 33) and subsequently regrew in nude mice after exposure to fractionated radiation at 10 Gy (2 Gy × 5). Clone 695 cells not only showed an increase in surviving fraction post-radiation but also an increase in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production when compared to PC3 cells. At the single cell level, confocal microscope images coupled with IMARIS rendering software demonstrate an increase in mitochondrial mass and membrane potential in clone 695 cells. Utilizing the Seahorse XF96 instrument to investigate mitochondrial respiration, clone 695 cells demonstrated a higher basal Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR), ATP-linked OCR, and proton leak compared to PC3 cells. The elevation of mitochondrial function in clone 695 cells is accompanied by an increase in mitochondrial H2O2 production. These data suggest that H2O2 could reprogram PCa’s mitochondrial homeostasis, which allows the cancer to survive and regrow after RT. Upon exposure to RT, in addition to ROS production, we found that RT induces the release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from PC3 cells (p < 0.05). Importantly, adding H2O2 to PC3 cells promotes EVs production in a dose-dependent manner and pre-treatment with polyethylene glycol-Catalase mitigates H2O2-mediated EV production. Both RT-derived EVs and H2O2-derived EVs carried higher levels of mitochondrial antioxidant proteins including, Peroxiredoxin 3, Glutathione Peroxidase 4 as well as mitochondrial-associated oxidative phosphorylation proteins. Significantly, adding isolated functional mitochondria 24 h prior to RT shows a significant increase in surviving fractions of PC3 cells (p < 0.05). Together, our findings reveal that H2O2 promotes the production of EVs carrying mitochondrial proteins and that functional mitochondria enhance cancer survival after RT.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27030592. [PMID: 35163857 PMCID: PMC8840408 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27030592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The linear-density (number of molecules on an arbitrary distance) of X-ray-induced markedly dense hydroxyl radicals (•OH) in water was estimated based on EPR spin-trapping measurement. A lower (0.13 mM-2.3 M) concentration series of DMPO water solutions and higher (1.7-6.0 M) concentration series of DMPO water solutions plus neat DMPO liquid (8.8 M as DMPO) were irradiated with 32 Gy of X-rays. Then, the yield of DMPO-OH in DMPO water solutions and the total spin-adduct of DMPO in neat DMPO were quantified. For the higher concentration DMPO series, the EPR peak area was estimated by double integration, and the baseline correction of the integral spectrum is necessary for accurate estimation of the peak area. The preparation of a suitable standard sample corresponding to the electric permittivity according to DMPO concentration was quite important for quantification of DMPO-OH, especially in DMPO concentration beyond 2 M. The linear-density of •OH generation in water by X-ray irradiation was estimated from the inflection point on the plot of the DMPO-OH yield versus DMPO linear-density. The linear-density of X-ray-induced markedly dense •OH was estimated as 1168 μm-1, which was converted to 0.86 nm as the intermolecular distance and 2.6 M as the local concentration.
