Abstract
At inflammatory sites, immune cells generate oxidants including H₂O₂. Myeloperoxidase (MPO), released by activated leukocytes employs H₂O₂ and halide/pseudohalides to form hypohalous acids that mediate pathogen killing. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a major species formed. Excessive or misplaced HOCl formation damages host tissues with this linked to multiple inflammatory diseases. Previously (Redox Biology, 2020, 28, 101331) we reported that iodide (I⁻) modulates MPO-mediated protein damage by decreasing HOCl generation with concomitant hypoiodous acid (HOI) formation. HOI may however impact on protein structure, so in this study we examined whether and how HOI, from peroxidase/H₂O₂/I⁻ systems ± Cl⁻, modifies proteins. Experiments employed MPO and lactoperoxidase (LPO) and multiple proteins (serum albumins, anastellin), with both chemical (intact protein and peptide mass mapping, LC-MS) and structural (SDS-PAGE) changes assessed. LC-MS analyses revealed dose-dependent iodination of anastellin and albumins by LPO/H2O2 with increasing I⁻. Incubation of BSA with MPO/H2O2/Cl⁻ revealed modest chlorination (Tyr286, Tyr475, ∼4 %) and Met modification. Lower levels of these species, and extensive iodination at specific Tyr and His residues (>20 % modification with ≥10 μM I⁻) were detected with increasing I⁻. Anastellin dimerization was inhibited by increasing I⁻, but less marked changes were observed with albumins. These data confirm that I⁻ competes with Cl⁻ for MPO and is an efficient HOCl scavenger. These processes decrease protein chlorination and oxidation, but result in extensive iodination. This is consistent with published data on the presence of iodinated Tyr on neutrophil proteins. The biological implications of protein iodination relative to chlorination require further clarification.

Abstract
Hypothiocyanous acid (HOSCN) is an endogenous oxidant produced by peroxidase oxidation of thiocyanate (SCN-), an ubiquitous sulfur-containing pseudohalide synthesized from cyanide. HOSCN serves as a potent microbicidal agent against pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and fungi, functioning through thiol-targeting mechanisms, independent of currently approved antimicrobials. Additionally, SCN- reacts with hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a highly reactive oxidant produced by myeloperoxidase (MPO) at sites of inflammation, also producing HOSCN. This imparts both antioxidant and antimicrobial potential to SCN-. In this review, we discuss roles of HOSCN/SCN- in immunity and potential therapeutic implications for combating infections.

Abstract
Peroxymonocarbonate (HCO4-/HOOCO2-) is produced by the reversible reaction of CO2/HCO3- with H2O2 (K = 0.33 M-1, pH 7.0). Although produced in low yields at physiological pHs and H2O2 and CO2/HCO3- concentrations, HCO4- oxidizes most nucleophiles with rate constants 10 to 100 times higher than those of H2O2. Boronate probes are known examples because HCO4- reacts with coumarin-7-boronic acid pinacolate ester (CBE) with a rate constant that is approximately 100 times higher than that of H2O2 and the same holds for fluorescein-boronate (Fl-B) as reported here. Therefore, we tested whether boronate probes could provide evidence for HCO4- formation under biologically relevant conditions. Glucose/glucose oxidase/catalase were adjusted to produce low steady-state H2O2 concentrations (2-18 μM) in Pi buffer at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. Then, CBE (100 μM) was added and fluorescence increase was monitored with time. The results showed that each steady-state H2O2 concentration reacted more rapidly (∼30%) in the presence of CO2/HCO3- (25 mM) than in its absence, and the data permitted the calculation of consistent rate constants. Also, RAW 264.7 macrophages were activated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (1 μg/mL) at pH 7.4 and 37 °C to produce a time-dependent H2O2 concentration (8.0 ± 2.5 μM after 60 min). The media contained 0, 21.6, or 42.2 mM HCO3- equilibrated with 0, 5, or 10% CO2, respectively. In the presence of CBE or Fl-B (30 μM), a time-dependent increase in the fluorescence of the bulk solution was observed, which was higher in the presence of CO2/HCO3- in a concentration-dependent manner. The Fl-B samples were also examined by fluorescence microscopy. Our results demonstrated that mammalian cells produce HCO4- and boronate probes can evidence and distinguish it from H2O2 under biologically relevant concentrations of H2O2 and CO2/HCO3-.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) released from activated leukocytes plays a significant role in the human immune system, but is also implicated in numerous diseases due to its inappropriate production. Chlorinated nucleobases induce genetic changes that potentially enable and stimulate carcinogenesis, and thus have attracted considerable attention. However, their multiple halogenation sites pose challenges to identify them. As a good complement to experiments, quantum chemical computation was used to uncover chlorination sites and chlorinated products in this study. The results indicate that anion salt forms of all purine compounds play significant roles in chlorination except for adenosine. The kinetic reactivity order of all reaction sites in terms of the estimated apparent rate constant kobs-est (in M-1 s-1) is heterocyclic NH/N (102-107) > exocyclic NH2 (10-2-10) > heterocyclic C8 (10-5-10-1), but the order is reversed for thermodynamics. Combining kinetics and thermodynamics, the numerical simulation results show that N9 is the most reactive site for purine bases to form the main initial chlorinated product, while for purine nucleosides N1 and exocyclic N2/N6 are the most reactive sites to produce the main products controlled by kinetics and thermodynamics, respectively, and C8 is a possible site to generate the minor product. The formation mechanisms of biomarker 8-Cl- and 8-oxo-purine derivatives were also investigated. Additionally, the structure-kinetic reactivity relationship study reveals a good correlation between lg kobs-est and APT charge in all purine compounds compared to FED2 (HOMO), which proves again that the electrostatic interaction plays a key role. The results are helpful to further understand the reactivity of various reaction sites in aromatic compounds during chlorination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The extracellular matrix (ECM), a fundamental constituent of all tissues and organs, is crucial for shaping the tumor microenvironment. Dysregulation of ECM remodeling has been closely linked to tumor initiation and progression, where specific signaling pathways, including redox signaling, play essential roles. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are risk factors for carcinogenesis whose excess can facilitate the oxidative damage of biomacromolecules, such as DNA and proteins. Emerging evidence suggests that redox effects can aid the modification, stimulation, and degradation of ECM, thus affecting ECM remodeling. These alterations in both the density and components of the ECM subsequently act as critical drivers for tumorigenesis. In this review, we provide an overview of the functions and primary traits of the ECM, and it delves into our current understanding of how redox reactions participate in ECM remodeling during cancer progression. We also discuss the opportunities and challenges presented by clinical strategies targeting redox-controlled ECM remodeling to overcome cancer. CONCLUSIONS The redox-mediated ECM remodeling contributes importantly to tumor survival, progression, metastasis, and poor prognosis. A comprehensive investigation of the concrete mechanism of redox-mediated tumor ECM remodeling and the combination usage of redox-targeted drugs with existing treatment means may reveal new therapeutic strategy for future antitumor therapies.

Abstract
Currently available genetically encoded H2O2 probes report on the thiol redox state of the probe, which means that they reflect the balance between probe thiol oxidation and reduction. Here we introduce the use of the engineered heme peroxidase APEX2 as a thiol-independent chemogenetic H2O2 probe that directly and irreversibly converts H2O2 molecules into either fluorescent or luminescent signals. We demonstrate sensitivity, specificity, and the ability to quantitate endogenous H2O2 turnover. We show how the probe can be used to detect changes in endogenous H2O2 generation and to assess the roles and relative contributions of endogenous H2O2 scavengers. Furthermore, APEX2 can be used to study H2O2 diffusion inside the cytosol. Finally, APEX2 reveals the impact of commonly used alkylating agents and cell lysis protocols on cellular H2O2 generation.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a heme-containing peroxidase, mainly expressed in neutrophils and, to a lesser extent, in monocytes. MPO is known to have a broad bactericidal ability via catalyzing the reaction of Cl- with H2O2 to produce a strong oxidant, hypochlorous acid (HOCl). However, the overproduction of MPO-derived oxidants has drawn attention to its detrimental role, especially in diseases characterized by acute or chronic inflammation. Broadly speaking, MPO and its derived oxidants are involved in the pathological processes of diseases mainly through the oxidation of biomolecules, which promotes inflammation and oxidative stress. Meanwhile, some researchers found that MPO deficiency or using MPO inhibitors could attenuate inflammation and tissue injuries. Taken together, MPO might be a promising target for both prognostic and therapeutic interventions. Therefore, understanding the role of MPO in the progress of various diseases is of great value. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the diverse roles of MPO in the progression of several diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, renal diseases, and lung diseases (including COVID-19). This information serves as a valuable reference for subsequent mechanistic research and drug development.

Abstract
The review is devoted to the mechanisms of free radical lipid peroxidation (LPO) initiated by reactive halogen species (RHS) produced in mammals, including humans, by heme peroxidase enzymes, primarily myeloperoxidase (MPO). It has been shown that RHS can participate in LPO both in the initiation and branching steps of the LPO chain reactions. The initiation step of RHS-induced LPO mainly involves formation of free radicals in the reactions of RHS with nitrite and/or with amino groups of phosphatidylethanolamine or Lys. The branching step of the oxidative chain is the reaction of RHS with lipid hydroperoxides, in which peroxyl and alkoxyl radicals are formed. The role of RHS-induced LPO in the development of human inflammatory diseases (cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis) is discussed in detail.

Abstract
Human peroxidasin (PXDN) is a ubiquitous peroxidase enzyme expressed in most tissues in the body. PXDN represents an interesting therapeutic target for inhibition, as it plays a role in numerous pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and fibrosis. Like other peroxidases, PXDN generates hypohalous acids and free radical species, thereby facilitating oxidative modifications of numerous biomolecules. We have studied the inhibition of PXDN halogenation and peroxidase activity by phloroglucinol and 14 other peroxidase inhibitors. Although a number of compounds on their own potently inhibited PXDN halogenation activity, only five were effective in the presence of a peroxidase substrate with IC50 values in the low μM range. Using sequential stopped-flow spectrophotometry, we examined the mechanisms of inhibition for several compounds. Phloroglucinol was the most potent inhibitor with a nanomolar IC50 for purified PXDN and IC50 values of 0.95 μM and 1.6 μM for the inhibition of hypobromous acid (HOBr)-mediated collagen IV cross-linking in a decellularized extracellular matrix and a cell culture model. Other compounds were less effective in these models. Most interestingly, phloroglucinol was identified to irreversibly inhibit PXDN, either by mechanism-based inhibition or tight binding. Our work has highlighted phloroglucinol as a promising lead compound for the design of highly specific PXDN inhibitors and the assays used in this study provide a suitable approach for high-throughput screening of PXDN inhibitors.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, carbonyl, chlorine, bromine, and iodine species (RXS, where X = O, N, S, C, Cl, Br, and I) have important roles in various normal physiological processes and act as essential regulators of cell metabolism; their inherent biological activities govern cell signaling, immune balance, and tissue homeostasis. However, an imbalance between RXS production and consumption will induce the occurrence and development of various diseases. Due to the considerable progress of nanomedicine, a variety of nanosystems that can regulate RXS has been rationally designed and engineered for restoring RXS balance to halt the pathological processes of different diseases. The invention of radical-regulating nanomaterials creates the possibility of intriguing projects for disease treatment and promotes advances in nanomedicine. In this comprehensive review, we summarize, discuss, and highlight very-recent advances in RXS-based nanomedicine for versatile disease treatments. This review particularly focuses on the types and pathological effects of these reactive species and explores the biological effects of RXS-based nanomaterials, accompanied by a discussion and the outlook of the challenges faced and future clinical translations of RXS nanomedicines.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is released by neutrophils in inflamed tissues. MPO oxidizes chloride, bromide, and thiocyanate to produce hypochlorous acid (HOCl), hypobromous acid (HOBr), and hypothiocyanous acid (HOSCN), respectively. These oxidants are toxic to pathogens, but may also react with host cells to elicit biological activity and potential toxicity. In cystic fibrosis (CF) and related diseases, increased neutrophil inflammation leads to increased airway MPO and airway epithelial cell (AEC) exposure to its oxidants. In this study, we investigated how equal dose-rate exposures of MPO-derived oxidants differentially impact the metabolome of human AECs (BEAS-2B cells). We utilized enzymatic oxidant production with rate-limiting glucose oxidase (GOX) coupled to MPO, and chloride, bromide (Br-), or thiocyanate (SCN-) as substrates. AECs exposed to GOX/MPO/SCN- (favoring HOSCN) were viable after 24 h, while exposure to GOX/MPO (favoring HOCl) or GOX/MPO/Br- (favoring HOBr) developed cytotoxicity after 6 h. Cell glutathione and peroxiredoxin-3 oxidation were insufficient to explain these differences. However, untargeted metabolomics revealed GOX/MPO and GOX/MPO/Br- diverged significantly from GOX/MPO/SCN- for dozens of metabolites. We noted methionine sulfoxide and dehydromethionine were significantly increased in GOX/MPO- or GOX/MPO/Br--treated cells, and analyzed them as potential biomarkers of lung damage in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from 5-year-olds with CF (n = 27). Both metabolites were associated with increasing bronchiectasis, neutrophils, and MPO activity. This suggests MPO production of HOCl and/or HOBr may contribute to inflammatory lung damage in early CF. In summary, our in vitro model enabled unbiased identification of exposure-specific metabolite products which may serve as biomarkers of lung damage in vivo. Continued research with this exposure model may yield additional oxidant-specific biomarkers and reveal explicit mechanisms of oxidant byproduct formation and cellular redox signaling.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an important component of the human innate immune system and the main source of a strong oxidizing and chlorinating species, hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Inadvertent, misplaced, or excessive generation of HOCl by MPO is associated with multiple human inflammatory diseases. Therefore, there is a considerable interest in the development of MPO inhibitors. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of a boronobenzyl derivative of acetaminophen (AMBB), which can function as a proinhibitor of MPO and release acetaminophen, the inhibitor of chlorination cycle of MPO, in the presence of inflammatory oxidants, i.e., hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid, or peroxynitrite. We demonstrate that the AMBB proinhibitor undergoes conversion to acetaminophen by all three oxidants, with the involvement of the primary phenolic product intermediate, with relatively long half-life at pH 7.4. The determined rate constants of the reaction of the AMBB proinhibitor with hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid, or peroxynitrite are equal to 1.67, 1.6 × 104, and 1.0 × 106 M-1 s-1, respectively. AMBB showed lower MPO inhibitory activity (IC50 > 0.3 mM) than acetaminophen (IC50 = 0.14 mM) toward MPO-dependent HOCl generation. Finally, based on the determined reaction kinetics and the observed inhibitory effects of two plasma components, uric acid and albumin, on the extent of AMBB oxidation by ONOO- and HOCl, we conclude that ONOO- is the most likely potential activator of AMBB in human plasma.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) has been implicated in numerous pathologies associated with an inflammatory component, but its selective and sensitive detection in biological settings remains a challenge. In this report, imaging of HOCl was realized with a thiomorpholine-based probe as derivative of nitrobenzothiadiazole (NBD-S-TM). The fluorescence is based on photoinduced electron transfer by using nitrobenzothiadiazole core as a donor and thiomorpholine substituent as an acceptor. NBD-S-TM showed high sensitivity and a fast response to HOCl k = (2.6 ± 0.2) × 107 M-1s-1 with a 1:1 stoichiometry. The detection limit for HOCl was determined to be 60 nM. Furthermore, the desirable features of NBD-S-TM for the detection of HOCl in aqueous solutions, such as its reliability at physiological pH, rapid fluorescence response, and biocompatibility, enabled its application in the detection of HOCl in myeloperoxidase enzymatic system. Moreover, NBD-S-TM exhibited excellent selectivity and sensitivity for HOCl over other biologically relevant species, such as hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite. The fluorescent S-oxidized product (NBD-S-TSO) is only formed in the presence of HOCl. Probing with NBD-S-TM may be helpful to further the development of high throughput screening assays to monitor the activity of myeloperoxidase.

Abstract
We studied the properties of N6-chloroadenosine phosphates (ATP, ADP, and AMP chloramines) as compounds with potentially increased antiplatelet efficacy determined by their binding to the plasma membrane of platelets. Chloramine derivatives of ATP, ADP, and AMP do not differ in their optical absorption characteristics: their absorption spectra are in the range of 220-340 nm with a maximum at 264 nm. Chloramines of adenosine phosphates are characterized by high reactivity with respect to thiol compounds. In particular, the rate constants of the reaction of N6-chloroadenosine-5'-diphosphate with N-acetylcysteine, reduced glutathione, dithiothreitol, and cysteine reach 59,000, 250,000, 340,000, and 1,250,000 M-1×sec-1, respectively, and only 1.10±0.02 M-1×sec-1 with methionine. It has been found that N6-chloradenosine-5'-triphosphate is a strong inhibitor of platelet functions: it effectively suppresses ADP-induced cell aggregation (IC50 in the whole blood is 5 μM) and inhibits aggregation of preactivated platelets and induces dissociation of their aggregates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA or aspirin) is one of the world's most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Numerous studies have shown that the long-term use of aspirin may contribute to longer survival among patients with various types of cancer, including ovarian cancer. AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ASA on myeloperoxidase (MPO), which is found at an elevated level in women with ovarian cancer, among others. METHODS The influence of different concentrations of ASA on the chlorinating and peroxidase activity of MPO was analysed. The relationship between the concentration of ASA and the degree of inhibition of MPO activity was determined based on the results. CONCLUSIONS Aspirin has a significant effect on MPO activity. The use of 50 mM ASA resulted in the enzyme activity being inhibited by more than 90%.

[PMID: 37413764 PMCID: PMC10363479 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2023.102799] [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: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Peroxynitrous acid/peroxynitrite (ONOOH/ONOO-) is a powerful oxidizing/nitrating system formed at sites of inflammation, which can modify biological targets, and particularly proteins. Here, we show that multiple proteins from primary human coronary artery smooth muscle cells are nitrated, with LC-MS peptide mass mapping providing data on the sites and extents of changes on cellular and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Evidence is presented for selective and specific nitrations at Tyr and Trp on 11 cellular proteins (out of 3668, including 205 ECM species) in the absence of added reagent ONOOH/ONOO-, with this being consistent with low-level endogenous nitration. A number of these have key roles in cell signaling/sensing and protein turnover. With added ONOOH/ONOO-, more proteins were modified (84 total; with 129 nitrated Tyr and 23 nitrated Trp, with multiple modifications on some proteins), with this occurring at the same and additional sites to endogenous modification. With low concentrations of ONOOH/ONOO- (50 μM) nitration occurs on specific proteins at particular sites, and is not driven by protein or Tyr/Trp abundance, with modifications detected on some low abundance proteins. However, with higher ONOOH/ONOO- concentrations (500 μM), modification is primarily driven by protein abundance. ECM species are major targets and over-represented in the pool of modified proteins, with fibronectin and thrombospondin-1 being particularly heavily modified (12 sites in each case). Both endogenous and exogenous nitration of cell- and ECM-derived species may have significant effects on cell and protein function, and potentially be involved in the development and exacerbation of diseases such as atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Foxtail millet prolamin has been demonstrated to have anti-diabetic effects. In this study, we compared the generation of anti-α-glucosidase peptides derived from prolamins of raw and cooked foxtail millet (PRFM and PCFM). PRFM and PCFM hydrolysates (PRFMH and PCFMH) both exhibited α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. After ultrafiltration according to molecular weight (Mw), the fraction with Mw < 3 kDa in PCFMH (PCFMH<3) showed higher α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than that in PRFMH (PRFMH<3). The composition of α-glucosidase inhibitory peptides identified by de novo sequencing in PCFMH<3 and PRFMH<3 was compared by virtual screening, combining biological activity, net charge, grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY), and key hydrophobic amino acids (Met, Pro, Phe, and Leu). We found that the proportion of peptides with excellent α-glucosidase binding force in PCFMH<3 was higher than in PRFMH<3. Overall, cooking may positively affect the generation of peptides that perform well in inhibiting α-glucosidase derived from foxtail millet prolamin.

Abstract
The four mammalian peroxidases (myeloperoxidase, eosinophilperoxidase, lactoperoxidase, and thyroid peroxidase) are widely studied in the literature. They catalyze the formation of antimicrobial compounds and participate in innate immunity. Owing to their properties, they are used in many biomedical, biotechnological, and agro-food applications. We decided to look for an enzyme that is easiest to produce and much more stable at 37 °C than mammalian peroxidases. To address this question, a peroxidase from Rhodopirellula baltica, identified by bioinformatics tools, was fully characterized in this study. In particular, a production and purification protocol including the study of heme reconstitution was developed. Several activity tests were also performed to validate the hypothesis that this peroxidase is a new homolog of mammalian myeloperoxidase. It has the same substrate specificities as the human one and accepts I-, SCN-, Br-, and Cl- as (pseudo-) halides. It also exhibits other auxiliary activities such as catalase and classical peroxidase activities, and it is very stable at 37 °C. Finally, this bacterial myeloperoxidase can kill the Escherichia coli strain ATCC25922, which is usually used to perform antibiograms.

Abstract
The oxidation of the amino acid methionine (Met) by hypochlorous acid (HOCl) to yield methionine sulfoxide (MetO) has been implicated in both the interfacial chemistry of tropospheric sea spray aerosols and the destruction of pathogens in the immune system. Here, we investigate the reaction of deprotonated methionine water clusters, Met-·(H2O)n, with HOCl and characterize the resulting products using cryogenic ion vibrational spectroscopy and electronic structure calculations. Capture of the MetO- oxidation product in the gas phase requires the presence of water molecules attached to the reactant anion. Analysis of its vibrational band pattern confirms that the sulfide group of Met- has indeed been oxidized. Additionally, the vibrational spectrum of the anion corresponding to the uptake of HOCl by Met-·(H2O)n indicates that it exists as an "exit-channel" complex in which the Cl- product ion is bound to the COOH group following the formation of the S═O motif.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a major oxidant produced by activated neutrophils via the myeloperoxidase catalyzed reaction. The production of HOCl eliminates a wide range of pathogens. However, HOCl can also cause significant oxidative damage in cells and tissues where it is generated. The protective effect of curcumin was studied on HOCl-induced oxidative damage to human red blood cells (RBC). Isolated RBC were incubated with HOCl at 37 °C in absence or presence of different concentrations of curcumin. Hemolysates were prepared and assayed for various biochemical parameters. Treatment of RBC with HOCl alone increased hemolysis, protein carbonyls, heme degradation and chloramines as compared to untreated control cells. This was accompanied by reduction in glutathione level, total sulfhydryls and free amino groups. HOCl also lowered the activities of major antioxidant enzymes and diminished the antioxidant power of RBC. Pre-treatment of RBC with different concentrations of curcumin resulted in concentration-dependent attenuation in all these parameters while curcumin alone had no significant effect. Scanning electron microscopy showed that curcumin prevented HOCl-induced morphological changes in RBC and restored their normal biconcave shape. Thus curcumin can be used as a chemoprotective agent to mitigate HOCl-induced oxidative damage to cells. These results also explain the beneficial effects of curcumin against Helicobacter pylori induced stomach ulcers, caused by excessive production of HOCl at the site of bacterial infection.

Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) is a major public health problem, as it is a main cause of otitis media, community-acquired pneumonia, bacteremia, sepsis, and meningitis. Acute episodes of pneumococcal disease have been demonstrated to cause organ damage with lingering negative consequences. Cytotoxic products released by the bacterium, biomechanical and physiological stress resulting from infection, and the corresponding inflammatory response together contribute to organ damage accrued during infection. The collective result of this damage can be acutely life-threatening, but among survivors, it also contributes to the long-lasting sequelae of pneumococcal disease. These include the development of new morbidities or exacerbation of pre-existing conditions such as COPD, heart disease, and neurological impairments. Currently, pneumonia is ranked as the 9th leading cause of death, but this estimate only considers short-term mortality and likely underestimates the true long-term impact of disease. Herein, we review the data that indicates damage incurred during acute pneumococcal infection can result in long-term sequelae which reduces quality of life and life expectancy among pneumococcal disease survivors.

Comparison of the degradation mechanisms of diclofenac in the presence of iron octacarboxyphthalocyanine and myeloperoxidase. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 287:122113. [PMID: 36401919 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.122113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The degradation process of diclofenac (DCF) by hematoprotein myeloperoxidase (MPO) and iron octacarboxyphthalocyanine (FePcOC) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was compared. During the oxidation of diclofenac, in the presence of iron octacarboxyphthalocyanine (FePcOC) and hydroxyl radicals (HO•) (from H2O2), an intermediate product (dimer with an m/z value of 587) with the characteristic yellow colouration and an intense band at λmax = 451 nm is formed. Iron octacarboxyphthalocyanine oxidises in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, following the first-order reaction kinetics for FePcOC and H2O2. The concentration of diclofenac does not affect the initial reaction rate. For comparison, the oxidation of DCF in the presence of myeloperoxidase and hydrogen peroxide also provided yellow-coloured solutions with an absorption maximum at λmax = 451 nm. However, LC-MS/MS analysis indicates the presence of at least seven main products of the diclofenac oxidation process in the final reaction mixture, including two dimers with the ion mass [M-H]¯ = 587.01. The mechanism of the diclofenac degradation with hematoprotein myeloperoxidase is more complex than with iron octacarboxyphthalocyanine. Furthermore, the biological activity of diclofenac and DCF dimer (iron octacarboxyphthalocyanine and hydroxyl radicals degradation product) was tested. In this case, the long-term assayed in vitro against E. coli, colorectal HCT116 and melanoma Me45 cancer cells were performed.

Abstract
Reactive sulfur species (RSS) entail a diverse family of sulfur derivatives that have emerged as important effector molecules in H2S-mediated biological events. RSS (including H2S) can exert their biological roles via widespread interactions with metalloproteins. Metalloproteins are essential components along the metabolic route of oxygen in the body, from the transport and storage of O2, through cellular respiration, to the maintenance of redox homeostasis by elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, heme peroxidases contribute to immune defense by killing pathogens using oxygen-derived H2O2 as a precursor for stronger oxidants. Coordination and redox reactions with metal centers are primary means of RSS to alter fundamental cellular functions. In addition to RSS-mediated metalloprotein functions, the reduction of high-valent metal centers by RSS results in radical formation and opens the way for subsequent per- and polysulfide formation, which may have implications in cellular protection against oxidative stress and in redox signaling. Furthermore, recent findings pointed out the potential role of RSS as substrates for mitochondrial energy production and their cytoprotective capacity, with the involvement of metalloproteins. The current review summarizes the interactions of RSS with protein metal centers and their biological implications with special emphasis on mechanistic aspects, sulfide-mediated signaling, and pathophysiological consequences. A deeper understanding of the biological actions of reactive sulfur species on a molecular level is primordial in H2S-related drug development and the advancement of redox medicine.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is the integrative science in the field of physics, chemistry and biology. For the synthesis of silver nanoparticles, a simple approach was applied using Firmiana colorata (Roxb.) aqueous leaf extract. During the synthesis of this silver nanoparticle, the solution color changes from green to deep brown due to the reduction of silver. The phytocompounds present in the Firmiana colorata (Roxb.) leaf extract acts as a reducing as well as a capping agent. Identifying the presence of bioactive compounds responsible for the reduction of silver was extensively characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, SEM, and EDX. Moreover, to know the efficacy of the silver nanoparticles (AgNps) antioxidant and antimicrobial studies were evaluated against the human pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, GC-MS analysis of the leaf extract of Firmiana colorata has been done followed by the in-silico molecular docking against the Anti-inflammatory and oxidative protein. Here within this study, a comparative evaluation was done among the Firmiana colorata (Roxb.) leaf extract and the synthesized silver nanoparticles. Results indicate that ethnomedicinally lesser known Firmiana colorata (Roxb.) and AgNps have the potency to act as anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Biological oxidation processes are in the core of life energetics, play an important role in cellular biophysics, physiological cell signaling or cellular pathophysiology. Understanding of biooxidation processes is also crucial for biotechnological applications. Therefore, a plethora of methods has been developed for monitoring oxidation so far, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages. We review here the available methods for monitoring oxidation and their basic characteristics and capabilities. Then we focus on a unique method - the only one that does not require input of additional external energy or chemicals - which employs detection of biological autoluminescence (BAL). We highlight the pros and cons of this method and provide an overview of how BAL can be used to report on various aspects of cellular oxidation processes starting from oxygen consumption to the generation of oxidation products such as carbonyls. This review highlights the application potential of this completely non-invasive and label-free biophotonic diagnostic method.

Abstract
Root-knot nematode is one of the major problems that face the agricultural production of several vegetable crops. Chemical nematicides have been banned because of their healthy and environmental undesirable attributes. So, this study aimed to evaluate the potential use of sweet annie (Artimisia annua) and garden cress (Lepidium sativum) as green routes for the development of effective and eco-friendly alternative nematicides. Nematicidal activity of sweet annie and garden cress aqueous extracts (500 g/L) in the original and nano-forms were evaluated against Meloidogyne incognita in tomato planted in infected soil under greenhouse conditions. Nineteen phenolic compounds were identified in A. annua extract, which was dominated by chlorogenic acid (5059 µg/100 mL), while 11 compounds were identified in L. sativum extract, that dominated by p-hydroxybenzoic acid (3206 μg/100 mL). Nano-particles were characterized with smooth surface, spherical shape and small size (50-100 nm). Under laboratory, the nano-formulations showed mortality percentage of M. incognita J2 greater than the original extract from. Vegetative growth parameters of tomato plants treated with A. annua and L. sativum extracts significantly improved compared to the control plants. Also, biochemical analysis revealed that the extracts were able to induce tomato plants towards the accumulation of phenolic compounds and increasing the activity of defensive enzymes (protease, polyphenol oxidase and chitinase) resulting in systemic resistance. Regarding tomato fruits yield and quality, the studied treatments significantly improved the yield and physicochemical parameters of tomato fruits in terms of fruit weight, diameter, TSS, pH, lycopene content and color attributes gaining higher sensorial acceptance by the panelist. Generally, both extracts represent promising nematicide alternatives and have potential use in crop management. The nano-form of A. annua extract outperformed the nematicidal activity of other studied treatments.

Abstract
Seawater chlorination has three main industrial uses: disinfection of water and installations, control of biofouling, and preventing the transport of aquatic invasive species. Once in contact with seawater, chlorine reacts rapidly with water constituents (e.g. bromide ions, ammonia, and nitrogen-containing compounds) to form a range of oxidative species (e.g. bromine and N-haloamines), termed "chlorine-produced oxidants" (CPOs) or "total residual oxidants" (TRO). The chemical nature of CPOs and their concentration are a function of two categories of parameters related to treatment modality (e.g. chlorine dose) and water quality (e.g. temperature, pH, ammonia concentration, and organic constituents). The chlorination process may result in continuous or intermittent releases of CPOs in seawater. The reactivity and potential ecotoxicity of CPO species largely depend on their physical and chemical properties. Therefore, evaluation of the biocidal effectiveness of chlorination and its potential impacts requires not only determining the sum of CPOs (via a bulk parameter), but also their chemical speciation. The aim of this article - which is the first of a trilogy dedicated to the chemical speciation of CPOs in seawater - is to provide an overview of current knowledge about chlorine chemistry in seawater and to discuss the biocidal efficacy and the environmental fate of resulting CPOs. The 2nd and 3rd articles delineate a comprehensive and critical review of analytical methods and approaches for the determination of CPOs in seawater.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a hallmark of the function and activation of innate immune cells, can act as a 'double-edged sword', contributing to clear infection as well as causing tissue oxidizing damage in various inflammatory diseases. In this study, an activatable Mn(II) chelate-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent (CA), Mn-TyEDTA (TyEDTA = tyrosine derived ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) structurally featuring a phenol group as the electron-donor, was developed to sense the activity of peroxidase in vitro and in vivo. Mn-TyEDTA demonstrated a peroxidase activity-dependent relaxivity in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/H2O2 with more than a 2.6-fold increase in water proton relaxivity produced (HRP, 500 U; H2O2, 4.5 eq). A mechanism of peroxidase-mediated Mn(II) monomer radical polymerization was confirmed with those oligomers of Mn-TyEDTA such as dimer, trimer and tetramer were found in the LC-MS study. Dynamic MR imaging of normal mice revealed rapid blood clearance and mixed renal and hepatobiliary elimination of Mn-TyEDTA. Furthermore, compared to liver-specific and non-specific extracellular contrast agents (Mn-BnO-TyEDTA (BnO-TyEDTA = benzyl tyrosine-derived ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and Gd-DTPA (DTPA = diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid)), MRI on a monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced acute mice model of arthritis showed that inflamed tissues could be selectively enhanced by Mn-TyEDTA, suggesting that this peroxidase-activatable Mn(II) MRI probe could potentially be used for noninvasive detection of MPO activity in vivo.

Abstract
The heme enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) is one of the key players in the neutrophil-mediated killing of invading pathogens as part of the innate immune system. MPO generates antimicrobial oxidants which indiscriminately and effectively kill phagocytosed pathogens. Staphylococcus aureus however is able to escape this fate, in part by secreting a small protein called SPIN (Staphylococcal Peroxidase Inhibitor), which specifically targets and inhibits MPO in a structurally complex manner. Here we present the first crystal structures of the complex of SPIN-aureus and a truncated version (SPIN-truncated) with mature dimeric leukocyte MPO. We unravel the contributions of the two domains to the kinetics and thermodynamics of SPIN-aureus binding to MPO by using a broad array of complementary biochemical and biophysical methods. The C-terminal "recognition" domain is shown to mediate specific binding to MPO, while interaction of the N-terminal "inhibitory" domain is guided mainly by hydrophobic effects and thus is less sequence-dependent. We found that inhibition of MPO is achieved by reducing substrate migration, but SPIN-aureus cannot completely block MPO activity. Its' effectiveness is inversely related to substrate size, with no discernible dependence on other factors. Thus, SPIN-aureus is an extremely high-affinity inhibitor and highly efficient for substrates larger than halogens. As aberrant MPO activity is implicated in a number of chronic inflammatory diseases, SPIN-aureus is the first promising protein inhibitor for specific inhibition of human MPO.

Abstract
This review discusses the formation of hypochlorous acid HOCl and the role of reactive chlorinated species (RCS), which are catalysed by the enzyme myeloperoxidase MPO, mainly located in leukocytes and which in turn contribute to cellular oxidative stress. The reactions of RCS with various organic molecules such as amines, amino acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and DNA are described, and an attempt is made to explain the chemical mechanisms of the formation of the various chlorinated derivatives and the data available so far on the effects of MPO, RCS and halogenative stress. Their presence in numerous pathologies such as atherosclerosis, arthritis, neurological and renal diseases, diabetes, and obesity is reviewed and were found to be a feature of debilitating diseases.

Abstract
Leucocytes generate hypohalous acids (HOCl and HOBr) to defend against pathogens. In cells, hypohalous acids react with amine-containing molecules, such as amino acids and polyamines, producing chloramines and bromamines, reservoirs of oxidizing power that can potentially damage host tissues at sites of inflammation. Hypohalous acids also react with H2 O2 to produce stoichiometric amounts of singlet molecular oxygen (1 O2 ), but its generation in leucocytes is still under debate. Additionally, it is unclear if haloamines generate 1 O2 following a reaction with H2 O2 . Herein, we provide evidence of the generation of 1 O2 in the reactions between amino acid-derived (taurine, N-α-acetyl-Lysine, and glycine) and polyamine-derived (spermine and spermidine) haloamines and H2 O2 in an aqueous solution. The unequivocal formation of 1 O2 was detected by monitoring its characteristic monomol light emission at 1270 nm in the near-infrared region. For amino acid-derived haloamines, the presence of 1 O2 was further confirmed by chemical trapping with anthracene-9,10-divinylsulfonate and HPLC-MS/MS detection. Altogether, photoemission and chemical trapping studies demonstrated that chloramines were less effective at producing 1 O2 than bromamines of amino acids and polyamines. Thus, 1 O2 formation via bromamines and H2 O2 may be a potential source of 1 O2 in non-illuminated biological systems.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) mediates pathogen destruction by generating the bactericidal oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Formation of this oxidant is however associated with host tissue damage and disease. MPO also utilizes H2O2 to oxidize other substrates, and we hypothesized that mixtures of other plasma anions, including bromide (Br-), iodide (I-), thiocyanate (SCN-) and nitrite (NO2-), at normal or supplemented concentrations, might modulate MPO-mediated HOCl damage. For the (pseudo)halide anions, only SCN- significantly modulated HOCl formation (IC50 ∼33 μM), which is within the normal physiological range, as judged by damage to human plasma fibronectin or extracellular matrix preparations detected by ELISA and LC-MS. NO2- modulated HOCl-mediated damage, in a dose-dependent manner, at physiologically-attainable anion concentrations. However, this was accompanied by increased tyrosine and tryptophan nitration (detected by ELISA and LC-MS), and the overall extent of damage remained approximately constant. Increasing NO2- concentrations (0.5-20 μM) diminished HOCl-mediated modification of tyrosine and methionine, whereas tryptophan loss was enhanced. At higher NO2- concentrations, enhanced tyrosine and methionine loss was detected. These analytical data were confirmed in studies of cell adhesion and metabolic activity. Together, these data indicate that endogenous plasma levels of SCN- (but not Br- or I-) can modulate protein modification induced by MPO, including the extent of chlorination. In contrast, NO2- alters the type of modification, but does not markedly decrease its extent, with chlorination replaced by nitration. These data also indicate that MPO could be a major source of nitration in vivo, and particularly at inflammatory sites where NO2- levels are often elevated.

Abstract
There is an urgent need in the medicinal fields to discover biocompatible nanoformulations with low cytotoxicity, which provide new strategies for promising therapies for several types of tumors. Bovine lactoperoxidase (LP) and lactoferrin (LF) have recently attracted attention in medicine for their antitumor activities with recognized safety pattern. Both LP and LF are suitable proteins to be coated or adsorbed to Cu and Fe nanometals for developing stable nanoformulations that boost immunity and strong anticancer effects. New nanometals of Cu and Fe NPs embedded in LP and LF forming novel nanocombinations of LP-CNPs and LF-FNPs had a spherical shape with an average nanosize of about 21 nm. The combination of LP-CNPs and LF-FNPs significantly exhibited the highest growth inhibitory efficacy, in terms of effectively lowering the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values, against Caco-2, HepG2 and MCF7 cells comparing to nanometals, LP, LF and individual nanoproteins (LP-CNPs or LF-FNPs). The highest apoptotic effect of this nanocombination (LP-CNPs and LF-FNPs) was confirmed by the highest percentages of annexin-stained apoptotic cells and G0 population with the strongest alteration in the expression of two well-characterized apoptosis guards (p53 and Bcl-2) and the maximum suppression in the proliferation marker (Ki-67). Also, the in silico analysis predicted that LP-CNPs and LF-FNPs enhanced AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK, p53 activator) activity and inhibited cancer migration-related proteases (cathepsin B and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9). Our results offer for the first time that these novel nanocombinations of LP and LF were superior in their selectivity and apoptosis-mediating anticancer activity to Cu and Fe nanometals as well as the free form of these proteins or their individual nanoforms.

Abstract
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is involved in the crosslinking of collagen IV, a major constituent of basement membranes. Disruption of basement membrane integrity as observed in genetic alterations of collagen IV or PXDN can result in developmental defects and diverse pathologies. Hence, the study of PXDN activity in (patho)physiological contexts is highly relevant. So far, measurements of PXDN activity have been reported from purified proteins, cell lysates and de-cellularized extracellular matrix. Here, for the first time we report the measurement of PXDN activity in live cells using the Amplex Red assay with a signal amplifying modification. We observe that bromide addition enhances the obtained signal, most likely due to formation of HOBr. Abrogation of signal amplification by the HOBr scavenger carnosine supports this hypothesis. Both, pharmacological inhibition as well as complementary genetic approaches confirm that the obtained signal is indeed related to PXDN activity. We validate the modified assay by investigating the effect of Brefeldin A, to inhibit the secretory pathway and thus the access of PXDN to the extracellular Amplex Red dye. Our method opens up new possibilities to investigate the activity of PXDN in (patho)physiological contexts.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes catalyze a variety of reactions using a limited number of natural amino acids and metallocofactors. Therefore, the environment beyond the primary coordination sphere must play an important role in both conferring and tuning their phenomenal catalytic properties, enabling active sites with otherwise similar primary coordination environments to perform a diverse array of biological functions. However, since the interactions beyond the primary coordination sphere are numerous and weak, it has been difficult to pinpoint structural features responsible for the tuning of activities of native enzymes. Designing artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) offers an excellent basis to elucidate the roles of these interactions and to further develop practical biological catalysts. In this review, we highlight how the secondary coordination spheres of ArMs influence metal binding and catalysis, with particular focus on the use of native protein scaffolds as templates for the design of ArMs by either rational design aided by computational modeling, directed evolution, or a combination of both approaches. In describing successes in designing heme, nonheme Fe, and Cu metalloenzymes, heteronuclear metalloenzymes containing heme, and those ArMs containing other metal centers (including those with non-native metal ions and metallocofactors), we have summarized insights gained on how careful controls of the interactions in the secondary coordination sphere, including hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions, allow the generation and tuning of these respective systems to approach, rival, and, in a few cases, exceed those of native enzymes. We have also provided an outlook on the remaining challenges in the field and future directions that will allow for a deeper understanding of the secondary coordination sphere a deeper understanding of the secondary coordintion sphere to be gained, and in turn to guide the design of a broader and more efficient variety of ArMs.

Abstract
Methionine is one of the main targets for biological oxidants. Its reaction with the majority of oxidants generates only methionine sulfoxide. However, when N-terminal methionine reacts with hypohalous acids (HOCl and HOBr) or singlet molecular oxygen (1O2), it can also generate a cyclic product called dehydromethionine (DHM). Previously, DHM was suggested as a biomarker of oxidative stress induced by hypohalous acids. However, DHM can also be generated by 1O2 -oxidation of methionine, and the contribution of this pathway of DHM formation in a context of a site-specific redox imbalance in an organism is unknown. In this work, a through comparison of the reactions of hypohalous acids and 1O2 with methionine, either free or inserted in peptides and proteins was undertaken. In addition, we performed methionine photooxidation in heavy water (H218O) to determine the influence of the pH in the mechanism of DHM formation. We showed that for free methionine, or methionine-containing peptides, the yields of DHM formation in the reactions with 1O2 were close to those achieved by HOBr oxidation, but much higher than the yields obtained with HOCl as the oxidant. This was true for all pH tested (5, 7.4, and 9). Interestingly, for the protein ubiquitin, DHM yields after reaction with 1O2 were higher than those obtained with both hypohalous acids. Our results indicate that 1O2 may also be an important source of DHM in biological systems.

Abstract
MPO-derived oxidants including HOCl contribute to tissue damage and the initiation and propagation of inflammatory diseases. The search for small molecule inhibitors of myeloperoxidase, as molecular tools and potential drugs, requires the application of high throughput screening assays based on monitoring the activity of myeloperoxidase. In this study, we have compared three classes of fluorescent probes for monitoring myeloperoxidase-derived hypochlorous acid, including boronate-, aminophenyl- and thiol-based fluorogenic probes and we show that all three classes of probes are suitable for this purpose. However, probes based on the coumarin fluorophore turned out to be not reliable indicators of the inhibitors’ potency. We have also determined the rate constants of the reaction between HOCl and the probes and they are equal to 1.8 × 104 M−1s−1 for coumarin boronic acid (CBA), 1.1 × 104 M−1s−1 for fluorescein based boronic acid (FLBA), 3.1 × 104 M−1s−1 for 7-(p-aminophenyl)-coumarin (APC), 1.6 × 104 M−1s−1 for 3’-(p-aminophenyl)-fluorescein (APF), and 1 × 107 M−1s−1 for 4-thiomorpholino-7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-TM). The high reaction rate constant of NBD-TM with HOCl makes this probe the most reliable tool to monitor HOCl formation in the presence of compounds showing HOCl-scavenging activity.

Abstract
Background: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and advanced oxidation protein products, or AOPP (a type of MPO-derived chlorinated adducts), have been implicated in Parkinson´s disease (PD). Human MPO also show sex-based differences in PD. The objective was to study the relationship of MPO and AOPP in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with motor features of idiopathic PD in male and female patients. Methods: MPO concentration and activity and AOPP content were measured in the CSF and serum in 34 patients and 30 controls. CSF leukocytes and the integrity of the blood-brain barrier were evaluated. Correlations of MPO and AOPP with clinical variables were examined. Results: The blood-brain barrier was intact and CSF leukocyte count was normal in all patients. CSF MPO concentration and activity were similar in the cohort of patients and controls, but CSF MPO content was significantly higher in male patients than in PD women (p = 0.0084). CSF MPO concentration correlated with disease duration in male and female patients (p < 0.01). CSF MPO concentration was significantly higher in men with disease duration ≥12 years versus the remainder of the male subjects (p < 0.01). Changes in CSF MPO in women were not significant. Serum MPO concentration and activity were significantly higher in all PD patients relative to controls (p < 0.0001). CSF MPO was not correlated with serum MPO. Serum AOPP were detected in all patients, but CSF AOPP was undetectable in 53% of patients. AOPP were not quantifiable in controls. Conclusions: CSF MPO is not a good biomarker for PD because mean CSF MPO concentration and activity are not different between the cohort of patients and controls. CSF MPO concentration positively correlated with disease duration in men and women, but CSF MPO is significantly enhanced only in male patients with disease duration longer than 12 years. It can be hypothesized that the MPO-related immune response in early-stage PD might be weak in all patients, but then the MPO-related immune response is progressively enhanced in men, not women. Since the blood-brain barrier is intact, and CSF MPO is not correlated with serum MPO, CSF myeloperoxidase would reflect MPO content in brain cells, not blood-derived cells. Finally, serum AOPP was detected in all patients, but not controls, which is consistent with the occurrence of chlorinative stress in blood serum in PD. The study of CSF AOPP as biomarker could not be assessed because the ELISA assay was hampered by its detection limit in the CSF.

[PMID: 35513289 DOI: 10.1016/j.niox.2022.04.006] [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: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is a zinc-containing hemoprotein composed of two identical subunits, each containing a reductase and an oxygenase domain. The reductase domain contains binding sites for NADPH, FAD, FMN, and tightly bound calmodulin and the oxygenase domain contains binding sites for heme, tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B), and l-arginine. The enzyme converts l-arginine into nitric oxide (NO) and citrulline in the presence of O2. It has previously been demonstrated that myeloperoxidase (MPO), which catalyzes formation of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chloride (Cl-), is enhanced in inflammatory diseases and could be a potent scavenger of NO. Using absorbance spectroscopy and gel filtration chromatography, we investigated the role of increasing concentrations of HOCl in mediating iNOS heme destruction and subsequent subunit dissociation and unfolding. The results showed that dimer iNOS dissociation between 15 and 100 μM HOCl was accompanied by loss of heme content and NO synthesis activity. The dissociated subunits-maintained cytochrome c and ferricyanide reductase activities. There was partial unfolding of the subunits at 300 μM HOCl and above, and the subunit unfolding transition was accompanied by loss of reductase activities. These events can be prevented when the enzyme is preincubated with melatonin prior to HOCl addition. Melatonin supplementation to patients experiencing low NO levels due to inflammatory diseases may be helpful to restore physiological NO functions.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) released from activated leukocytes not only plays a significant role in the human immune system but is also implicated in numerous diseases including atherosclerosis and some cancers due to its inappropriate production. Histidine (His) and carnosine (Car), as a respective mediator and protective agent of HOCl damage, have attracted considerable attention; however, their detailed reaction mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, using a His residue with two peptide bond groups (HisRes) as a model, the reaction mechanisms of HisRes and Car including NεH and NδH tautomers with HOCl along with the chlorination reactivity of N-chlorinated intermediates were investigated by quantum chemical methods. The obtained results indicate that in the imidazole side chain, the pyridine-like N is the most reactive site rather than the pyrrole-like N, and the kinetic order of all of the possible reaction sites in HisRes follows pyridine-like N > imidazole Cδ ≫ imidazole Cε > pyrrole-like N, while that in Car is pyridine-like N ≫ imidazole Cδ ≫ amide N. As for N-chlorinated intermediates at imidazole, although the unprotonated form has a low chlorination reactivity as expected, it can still chlorinate tyrosine. Especially, the protonated form exhibits similar ability to HOCl, causing secondary damage in vivo. N-Chlorinated Car features higher internal chlorine migration ability than its intermolecular transchlorination, preventing further HOCl-induced damage. Additionally, a generally overlooked nucleophilic Cl- shift is also found in N-chlorinated Car/HisRes, indicating that nucleophilic sites in biomolecules also need to be considered. The outcomes of this study are expected to expand our understanding of secondary damage and protective mechanisms involved in HOCl in humans.

Understanding Myeloperoxidase-Induced Damage to HDL Structure and Function in the Vessel Wall: Implications for HDL-Based Therapies. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11030556.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a disease of increased oxidative stress characterized by protein and lipid modifications in the vessel wall. One important oxidative pathway involves reactive intermediates generated by myeloperoxidase (MPO), an enzyme present mainly in neutrophils and monocytes. Tandem MS analysis identified MPO as a component of lesion derived high-density lipoprotein (HDL), showing that the two interact in the arterial wall. MPO modifies apolipoprotein A1 (apoA-I), paraoxonase 1 and certain HDL-associated phospholipids in human atheroma. HDL isolated from atherosclerotic plaques depicts extensive MPO mediated posttranslational modifications, including oxidation of tryptophan, tyrosine and methionine residues, and carbamylation of lysine residues. In addition, HDL associated plasmalogens are targeted by MPO, generating 2-chlorohexadecanal, a pro-inflammatory and endothelial barrier disrupting lipid that suppresses endothelial nitric oxide formation. Lesion derived HDL is predominantly lipid-depleted and cross-linked and exhibits a nearly 90% reduction in lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase activity and cholesterol efflux capacity. Here we provide a current update of the pathophysiological consequences of MPO-induced changes in the structure and function of HDL and discuss possible therapeutic implications and options. Preclinical studies with a fully functional apoA-I variant with pronounced resistance to oxidative inactivation by MPO-generated oxidants are currently ongoing. Understanding the relationships between pathophysiological processes that affect the molecular composition and function of HDL and associated diseases is central to the future use of HDL in diagnostics, therapy, and ultimately disease management.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) is a major disruption in the physiology of the lacrimal functional unit (LFU). Antioxidant enzymes have dual protective activities: antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Peroxidases have been indistinctly used as markers of the secretory activity of the LFU and implicated in the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of dry eye disease (DED), even though they comprise a large family of enzymes that includes lactoperoxidase (LPO) and glutathione peroxidase (GPO), among others. Assays to measure and correlate OS with other local LFU phenomena have methodological limitations. Studies implicate molecules and reactions involved in OS as markers of homeostasis, and other studies identify them as part of the physiopathology of diseases. Despite these conflicting concepts and observations, it is clear that OS is influential in the development of DED. Moreover, many antioxidant strategies have been proposed for its treatment, including calorie restriction to nutritional supplementation. This review offers a critical analysis of the biological mechanisms, diagnostic outcomes, drug use, dietary supplements, and life habits that implicate the influence of OS on DED.

Abstract
Methionine oxidation is a reversible post-translational protein modification, affecting protein function, and implicated in aging and degenerative diseases. The detection of accumulating methionine oxidation in living cells or organisms, however, has not been achieved. Here we introduce a genetically encoded probe for methionine oxidation (GEPMO), based on the super-folder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP), as a specific, versatile, and integrating sensor for methionine oxidation. Placed at amino-acid position 147 in an otherwise methionine-less sfGFP, the oxidation of this specific methionine to methionine sulfoxide results in a ratiometric fluorescence change when excited with ∼400 and ∼470 nm light. The strength and homogeneity of the sensor expression is suited for live-cell imaging as well as fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) experiments using standard laser wavelengths (405/488 nm). Expressed in mammalian cells and also in S. cerevisiae, the sensor protein faithfully reports on the status of methionine oxidation in an integrating manner. Variants targeted to membranes and the mitochondria provide subcellular resolution of methionine oxidation, e.g. reporting on site-specific oxidation by illumination of endogenous protoporphyrin IX.

Abstract
The lack of tools to monitor the dynamics of (pseudo)hypohalous acids in live cells and tissues hinders a better understanding of inflammatory processes. Here we present a fluorescent genetically encoded biosensor, Hypocrates, for the visualization of (pseudo)hypohalous acids and their derivatives. Hypocrates consists of a circularly permuted yellow fluorescent protein integrated into the structure of the transcription repressor NemR from Escherichia coli. We show that Hypocrates is ratiometric, reversible, and responds to its analytes in the 106 M-1s-1 range. Solving the Hypocrates X-ray structure provided insights into its sensing mechanism, allowing determination of the spatial organization in this circularly permuted fluorescent protein-based redox probe. We exemplify its applicability by imaging hypohalous stress in bacteria phagocytosed by primary neutrophils. Finally, we demonstrate that Hypocrates can be utilized in combination with HyPerRed for the simultaneous visualization of (pseudo)hypohalous acids and hydrogen peroxide dynamics in a zebrafish tail fin injury model.
