Abstract
Chronic inhalation of cigarette smoke is a prominent cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and provides an important source of exogenous oxidants. In addition, several inflammatory and structural cells are a source of endogenous oxidants in the lower airways of COPD patients, even in former smokers. This suggests that oxidants play a key role in the pathogenesis of COPD. This oxidative stress is counterbalanced by the protective effects of the various endogenous antioxidant defenses of the lower airways. A large amount of data from animal models and patients with COPD have shown that both the stable phase of the disease, and during exacerbations, have increased oxidative stress in the lower airways compared with age-matched smokers with normal lung function. Thus, counteracting the increased oxidative stress may produce clinical benefits in COPD patients. Smoking cessation is currently the most effective treatment of COPD patients and reduces oxidative stress in the lower airways. In addition, many drugs used to treat COPD have some antioxidant effects, however, it is still unclear if their clinical efficacy is related to pharmacological modulation of the oxidant/antioxidant balance. Several new antioxidant compounds are in development for the treatment of COPD.

Novel and Converging Ways of NOX2 and SOD3 in Trafficking and Redox Signaling in Macrophages. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10020172. [PMID: 33503855 PMCID: PMC7911390 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10020172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Macrophages and related tissue macrophage populations use the classical NADPH oxidase (NOX2) for the regulated production of superoxide and derived oxidants for pathogen combat and redox signaling. With an emphasis on macrophages, we discuss how sorting into secretory storage vesicles, agonist-responsive membrane trafficking, and segregation into sphingolipid and cholesterol-enriched microdomains (lipid rafts) determine the subcellular distribution and spatial organization of NOX2 and superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD3). We discuss how inflammatory activation of macrophages, in part through small GTPase Rab27A/B regulation of the secretory compartments, mediates the coalescence of these two proteins on the cell surface to deliver a focalized hydrogen peroxide output. In interplay with membrane-embedded oxidant transporters and redox sensitive target proteins, this arrangement allows for the autocrine and paracrine signaling, which govern macrophage activation states and transcriptional programs. By discussing examples of autocrine and paracrine redox signaling, we highlight why formation of spatiotemporal microenvironments where produced superoxide is rapidly converted to hydrogen peroxide and conveyed immediately to reach redox targets in proximal vicinity is required for efficient redox signaling. Finally, we discuss the recent discovery of macrophage-derived exosomes as vehicles of NOX2 holoenzyme export to other cells.

Abstract
Formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) are mainly expressed on leucocytes and sense microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) molecules, thereby regulating leukocyte chemotaxis and activation. The formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) selective agonist WKYMVm (Trp-Lys-Met-Val-D-Met) has shown potent pro-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. In this study, we investigated whether WKYMVm exhibits bactericidal activity during neutrophil accumulation in acute lung injury (ALI) in mice and determined its cellular signaling pathways in HL-60 neutrophil-like cells. A daily intraperitoneal treatment of ALI mice with WKYMVm (2.5- and 5 mg/kg/d) daily over four days decreased the levels of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, while it increased the MPO and NO release by differentiated HL-60 neutrophil-like cells. The IRF1 level and STAT1 phosphorylation at S727 were increased in the lungs of mice with ALI treated with WKYMVm. Lung histology induced by ALI was unaffected by treatment with WKYMVm. In vitro, WKYMVm increased MPO, NO, and SOD activity, as well as IRF1 and STAT1 phosphorylation at Ser727. Taken together, our data suggest therapeutic potential of WKYMVm, via FPR2-dependent regulation of STAT1/IRF1, in ALI.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species can be generated endogenously (by mitochondria, peroxisomes, and phagocytic cells) and exogenously (by pollutions, UV exposure, xenobiotic compounds, and cigarette smoke). The negative effects of free radicals are neutralized by antioxidant molecules synthesized in our body, like glutathione, uric acid, or ubiquinone, and those obtained from the diet, such as vitamins C, E, and A, and flavonoids. Different microelements like selenium and zinc have no antioxidant action themselves but are required for the activity of many antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, circulating blood proteins are suggested to account for more than 50% of the combined antioxidant effects of urate, ascorbate, and vitamin E. Antioxidants together constitute a mutually supportive defense against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species to maintain the oxidant/antioxidant balance. This article outlines the oxidative and anti-oxidative molecules involved in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive lung disease. The role of albumin and alpha-1 antitrypsin in antioxidant defense is also discussed.

Abstract
Neutrophils are implicated in almost every stage of oncogenesis and paradoxically display anti- and pro-tumor properties. Accumulating evidence indicates that neutrophils display diversity in their phenotype resulting from functional plasticity and/or changes to granulopoiesis. In cancer, neutrophils at a range of maturation stages can be identified in the blood and tissues (i.e., outside of their developmental niche). The functional capacity of neutrophils at different states of maturation is poorly understood resulting from challenges in their isolation, identification, and investigation. Thus, the impact of neutrophil maturity on cancer progression and therapy remains enigmatic. In this review, we discuss the identification, prevalence, and function of immature and mature neutrophils in cancer and the potential impact of this on tumor progression and cancer therapy.

Abstract
It could be argued that we understand the immune response to infection with Listeria monocytogenes better than the immunity elicited by any other bacteria. L. monocytogenes are Gram-positive bacteria that are genetically tractable and easy to cultivate in vitro, and the mouse model of intravenous (i.v.) inoculation is highly reproducible. For these reasons, immunologists frequently use the mouse model of systemic listeriosis to dissect the mechanisms used by mammalian hosts to recognize and respond to infection. This article provides an overview of what we have learned over the past few decades and is divided into three sections: "Innate Immunity" describes how the host initially detects the presence of L. monocytogenes and characterizes the soluble and cellular responses that occur during the first few days postinfection; "Adaptive Immunity" discusses the exquisitely specific T cell response that mediates complete clearance of infection and immunological memory; "Use of Attenuated Listeria as a Vaccine Vector" highlights the ways that investigators have exploited our extensive knowledge of anti-Listeria immunity to develop cancer therapeutics.
