Abstract
The limitations of current forms of prostate cancer therapy have driven researchers to search for new alternatives. Previously we showed cytopathic effect related to HSV-tk in prostate cancer. In this study we present initial results of a neoadjuvant HSV-tk gene therapy trial and address some of the potential mechanistic aspects of its effect in human tissues. We enrolled 23 men with clinically localized prostate cancer but high risk for recurrence in this Phase I-II trial. Intraprostatic viral injections (one to four) were followed by 2 weeks of ganciclovir and prostatectomy 2-4 weeks later. Toxicity was modest. Surgical specimens were embedded fully and whole-mount slides were imaged and analyzed for areas of cytopathic effect. The larger the tumor the greater the cytopathic effect. The effect also seems to be related to areas of high CAR expression. However, the number of injection sites did not influence effect. Local (CD8+ cells and macrophages) and systemic immune response (CD8+ and activated CD8+, IL-12) was increased in patients treated with HSV-tk. Increased apoptosis and decreased microvessel density were also noted in these patients. The results suggest a tumor-specific effect mediated by systemic and local immune response, antiangiogenic effect, and modulation of apoptosis.

Abstract
Hyperoxia induces extensive DNA damage and lung cell death by apoptotic and nonapoptotic pathways. We analyzed the regulation of Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a nuclear enzyme activated by DNA damage, and its relation to cell death during hyperoxia in vitro and in vivo. In lung epithelial-derived A549 cells, which are known to die by necrosis when exposed to oxygen, a minimal amount of PARP-1 was cleaved, correlating with the absence of active caspase-3. Conversely, in primary lung fibroblasts, which die mainly by apoptosis, the complete cleavage of PARP-1 was concomitant to the induction of active caspase-3, as assessed by Western blot and caspase activity. Blockade of caspase activity by Z-VAD reduced the amount of cleaved PARP-1 in fibroblasts. Hyperoxia induced PARP activity in both cell types, as revealed by poly-ADP-ribose accumulation. In A549 cells, the final outcome of necrosis was dependent on PARP activity because it was prevented by the PARP inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide. In contrast, apoptosis of lung fibroblasts was not sensitive to 3-aminobenzamide and was not affected by PARP-1 deletion. In vivo, despite evidence of PARP activation in hyperoxia-exposed mouse lungs, absence of PARP-1 did not change the extent of lung damage, arguing for redundant oxidative stress-induced cell death pathways.

Abstract
Hyperoxia induces growth arrest, apoptosis, necrosis, and morphological changes (spreading and adhesion) in various types of cells. The mechanism of hyperoxia-induced cell growth arrest has not been well elucidated, especially in macrophages. One possible mechanism is a role of cell adhesion in hyperoxia-induced cell cycle arrest. To evaluate this finding, macrophages were cultured in normoxia (21% O2) or hyperoxia (95% O2) in adhesion or low adhesion conditions. Incubation of macrophages in hyperoxia induced cell cycle arrest. The hyperoxia-induced cell cycle arrest was prevented by low adhesion conditions. To evaluate pathways potentially involved in hyperoxia-induced growth arrest, we measured extracellular regulated kinase and retinoblastoma protein activation and p21Cip1 and p53 accumulation. Hyperoxia strongly induced activation of extracellular regulated kinase and retinoblastoma protein as well as up-regulation of p21Cip1. These effects of hyperoxia were attenuated under low adhesion conditions, suggesting a role for integrin-dependent signaling. The induction of p21Cip1 and activation of retinoblastoma protein occurred via a p53-independent mechanism. These results suggest that adhesion-dependent pathways are required for hyperoxia-induced cell cycle arrest in macrophages.

Abstract
Administration of high concentrations of oxygen (hyperoxia) is a mainstay of supportive treatment for patients suffering from severe respiratory failure. However, hyperoxia, by generating excess systemic reactive oxygen species (ROS), can exacerbate organ failure by causing cellular injury. Therefore, a better understanding of the signal transduction pathways in hyperoxia may provide the basis for effective therapeutic interventions. The major biological effects of hyperoxia include cell death, induction of stress responses, inflammation, and modulation of cell growth. Major signaling pathways that appear to be involved include the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), AP-1, and NF-kappa B, which converge, ultimately, to the expression of a range of stress response genes, cytokines, and growth factors.

Abstract
The growth of fibroblasts, which were isolated from human, rabbit, rat, mouse, and chick embryos, was inhibited partially under 50% oxygen and nearly completely under 95% oxygen. There was species difference in the resistivity of these cells against oxygen-induced growth inhibition. The extent of the resistivity was in the following order: chick cells > rat cells > human cells > rabbit cells approximately mouse cells. The order of their ability to recover from oxygen-induced growth inhibition was similar to the above order of species. There was also species difference in their antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities, and their reduced glutathione concentration. Chick cells, having the highest resistivity against oxygen-induced growth inhibition, were at the lowest activity levels of antioxidant enzymes and at the highest concentration level of reduced glutathione. The species difference in resistivity against oxygen-induced growth inhibition seems to depend on the reduced glutathione concentration, but not on the antioxidant enzyme activities.

Abstract
Free radical generation by hyperoxic endothelial cells was studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). Studies were performed to determine the radical species produced, whether mitochondrial electron transport was involved, and the effect of the radical generation on cell mortality. Sheep pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell suspensions exposed to 100% O2 for 30 min exhibited prominent DMPO-OH and, occasionally, additional smaller DMPO-R signals thought to arise from the trapping of superoxide anion (O2-.), hydroxyl (.OH), and alkyl (.R) radicals. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) quenched both signals suggesting that the observed radicals were derived from O2-.. Studies with deferoxamine suggested that the generation of .R occurred secondary to the formation of .OH from O2-. via an iron-mediated Fenton reaction. Blocking mitochondrial electron transport with rotenone (20 microM) markedly decreased radical generation. Cell mortality increased slightly in oxygen-exposed cells. This increase was not significantly altered by SOD or deferoxamine, nor was it different from the mortality observed in air-exposed cells. These results suggest that endothelial cells exposed to hyperoxia for 30 min produce free radicals via mitochondrial electron transport, but under the conditions of these experiments, this radical generation did not appear cause cell death.

Abstract
Exposure of cultured pulmonary artery endothelial cells to 95% O2 resulted in the following sequence of events: decrease in [3H]thymidine incorporation after 24 h; increase of intracellular glutathione (GSH) and loss of cellular protein after 48 h; increase of spontaneous and decrease of provoked prostacyclin formation as well as increased release of cellular LDH after 72 h. This oxygen toxicity model was used to study the following 2 questions. (1) What is the relative importance of the GSH redox cycle compared to catalase as antioxidative defense against hyperoxia? Endothelial cells were grown in selenium-depleted medium to inhibit glutathione peroxidase activity. Endothelial GSH biosynthesis was inhibited by buthionine sulfoximine. Catalase activity was reduced by aminotriazole. Endothelial cells with an impaired GSH redox cycle were easily killed by hyperoxia within 24 h, while inhibition of catalase did not enhance the susceptibility of endothelial cells to hyperoxia. (2) Can endothelial GSH content be increased by exogenous sulfhydryl reagents and does this result in an increase of endothelial cells' resistance to hyperoxia? Exogenous GSH, N-acetylcysteine, cysteine, and L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate (L-2-oxo) increased intracellular GSH. All sulfhydryl reagents (with the exception of L-2-oxo) protected endothelial cells from hyperoxia. Concentrations of exogenous GSH and N-acetylcysteine that did not increase intracellular GSH reduced hyperoxia-induced endothelial cell injury. Thus the capacity of the GSH redox cycle rather than intracellular GSH levels or catalase determines endothelial cells' resistance to hyperoxia.

Abstract
The resistance of human pulmonary fibroblasts (WI-38) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells to oxygen toxicity (1 atm O2) was compared. Endothelial cells were more sensitive than fibroblasts. They contained also less antioxidant enzymes except for SOD: respectively 132%, 96%, 70%, 59%, and 21% of the SOD, GSH peroxidase, GSH reductase, catalase, and G6PD content of fibroblasts. However, they contained 1.81-fold more GSH than fibroblasts. Their lower content of antioxidant enzymes can explain their higher sensitivity to oxygen. The efficiency of natural antioxidant molecules and enzymes in the protection of cells incubated 3 days under 1 atm O2 was studied. alpha-tocopherol added in the culture medium led to a significant protection, contrary to the result for ascorbic acid. Microinjection of catalase, SOD, and GSH peroxidase directly into the cells was also tested: the protection was concentration dependent for both types of cells but SOD did not protect the endothelial cells. Lower activities of the other enzymes were needed to achieve protection of the endothelial cells, compared to fibroblasts. Since endothelial cells were also shown to display lower antioxidant enzyme activities, it can be hypothesized that their content is optimized for survival in physiological conditions.

Abstract
The effects of hyperbaric oxygen on uracil nucleotide metabolism in B104 rat neuroblastoma cells were investigated. Cells exposed to 10 atm O2 for 4 h incorporated markedly less [3H]uridine into the acid-soluble fraction and RNA compared to cells kept in ambient air. The acid-soluble fraction of the oxygen-treated cells contained less total [3H]uridine phosphates ([3H]UMP + [3H]UDP + [3H]UTP) than air-treated cells. Uridine kinase activity, assayed in cytosolic extracts from cells exposed to 10 atm O2 for 4 h, was decreased by 46% compared to the air controls. The reduced enzyme activity which appears to account for the depressed [3H]uridine incorporation, may contribute to the lethal effects of oxygen in these cells.

Abstract
Antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) have been injected into human fibroblasts exposed to 2 atm O2 in order to test if the threshold of oxidative damage versus antioxidant defenses could be modulated and if the damage remains reversible beyond the threshold. Cell damage was estimated by thymidine incorporation and cell survival curves. The proportion of dividing cells, measured by thymidine incorporation, rapidly decreased after O2 incubation: no cells could divide after 15 h of hyperoxia. However, cells incubated for a short time and injected with a high concentration of any of the three enzymes divided like non-oxygen-incubated cells: the enzymes could protect the cells against their loss of division potential. However, when cells were incubated for a longer period and/or when the injected enzyme concentration was lower, cells were either less or not protected and could no longer divide. These results suggest the presence of a threshold for the oxidative damage which cannot be totally repaired and which impairs the cell division; this threshold can, however, be modulated by supplementation of antioxidant enzymes, glutathione peroxidase being the most efficient.
