Abstract
Our laboratory previously showed lipid hydroperoxides and oxylipin levels are elevated in response to loss of skeletal muscle innervation and are associated with muscle pathologies. To elucidate the pathological impact of lipid hydroperoxides, we overexpressed glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), an enzyme that targets reduction of lipid hydroperoxides in membranes, in adult CuZn superoxide dismutase knockout (Sod1KO) mice that show accelerated muscle atrophy associated with loss of innervation. The gastrocnemius muscle from Sod1KO mice shows reduced mitochondrial respiration and elevated oxidative stress (F2 -isoprostanes and hydroperoxides) compared to wild-type (WT) mice. Overexpression of GPx4 improved mitochondrial respiration and reduced hydroperoxide generation in Sod1KO mice, but did not attenuate the muscle loss that occurs in Sod1KO mice. In contrast, contractile force generation is reduced in EDL muscle in Sod1KO mice relative to WT mice, and overexpression of GPx4 restored force generation to WT levels in Sod1KO mice. GPx4 overexpression also prevented loss of muscle contractility at the single fibre level in fast-twitch fibres from Sod1KO mice. Muscle fibres from Sod1KO mice were less sensitive to both depolarization and calcium at the single fibre level and exhibited a reduced activation by S-glutathionylation. GPx4 overexpression in Sod1KO mice rescued the deficits in both membrane excitability and calcium sensitivity of fast-twitch muscle fibres. Overexpression of GPx4 also restored the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase activity in Sod1KO gastrocnemius muscles. These data suggest that GPx4 plays an important role in preserving excitation-contraction coupling function and Ca2+ homeostasis, and in maintaining muscle and mitochondrial function in oxidative stress-induced sarcopenia. KEY POINTS: Knockout of CuZn superoxide dismutase (Sod1KO) induces elevated oxidative stress with accelerated muscle atrophy and weakness. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) plays a fundamental role in the reduction of lipid hydroperoxides in membranes, and overexpression of GPx4 improves mitochondrial respiration and reduces hydroperoxide generation in Sod1KO mice. Muscle contractile function deficits in Sod1KO mice are alleviated by the overexpression of GPx4. GPx4 overexpression in Sod1KO mice rescues the impaired muscle membrane excitability of fast-twitch muscle fibres and improves their calcium sensitivity. Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase activity in Sod1KO muscles is decreased, and it is restored by the overexpression of GPx4. Our results confirm that GPx4 plays an important role in preserving excitation-contraction coupling function and Ca2+ homeostasis, and maintaining muscle and mitochondrial function in oxidative stress-induced sarcopenia.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation are closely associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, or neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation disorders. Mitochondrial dysfunction, lipofuscin accumulation, autophagy disruption, and ferroptosis have been implicated as the critical pathomechanisms of lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation in these disorders. Currently, the connection between lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation and the initial cause or consequence in neurodegeneration processes is unclear. In this review, we have compiled the known mechanisms by which lipid peroxidation triggers iron accumulation and lipofuscin formation, and the effect of iron overload on lipid peroxidation and cellular function. The vicious cycle established between both pathological alterations may lead to the development of neurodegeneration. Therefore, the investigation of these mechanisms is essential for exploring therapeutic strategies to restrict neurodegeneration. In addition, we discuss the interplay between lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation in neurodegeneration, particularly in PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration, a rare neurodegenerative disease with autosomal recessive inheritance, which belongs to the group of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation disorders.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the imbalance of lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity leads to damage to liver. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of ellagic acid (EA), a phenolic compound, on hepatic lipid metabolism and antioxidant activity in mice. In our study, 24 C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups: (1) control (CON); (2) basal diet+0.1% EA (EA1); and (3) basal diet+0.3% EA (EA2). After the 14-day experiment, the liver was sampled for analysis. The results showed that 0.3% EA administration increased the liver weight. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol activities decreased and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol activity increased by EA supplementation. Meanwhile, dietary supplementation with EA dose-dependently decreased the acetyl-CoA carboxylase protein abundance and increased the phospho-hormone-sensitive lipase, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha protein abundances. Moreover, EA supplementation reduced the malonaldehyde concentration and increased the superoxide dismutase and catalase concentrations. The protein abundances of phospho-nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2, heme oxygenase-1, and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 increased by EA supplementation in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, EA supplementation promoted the lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity to maintain the liver health in mice.

Oxidative Stress Markers and Antioxidant Enzymes in Children and Adolescents with Depressive Disorder and Impact of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Randomised Clinical Trial. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10081256. [PMID: 34439504 PMCID: PMC8389273 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10081256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) is thought to play a role in mental disorders. However, it is not clear whether the OS is the cause or consequence of the disorder. We investigated markers of oxidative stress (8-isoprostane (8-IsoP-U), lipoperoxides (LP), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and nitrotyrosine (NT)) and antioxidant protection (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) in 60 paediatric and adolescent patients with depressive disorder (DD) compared to healthy controls. The patients were divided into two groups (1:1). One group received an emulsion of omega-3 fatty acid (FA), and the other group an emulsion of sunflower oil with omega-6 FA for 12 weeks. The levels of 8-IsoP-U, AOPP and NT were increased, and GPx activity was decreased in patients compared to the controls. We found a significant positive correlation of the Children’s Depression Inventory score with NT and a negative correlation with TEAC, SOD and GPx. NT correlated positively with the baseline omega-6/omega-3 FA ratio and a negatively with SOD. A supplementation with omega-3 FA, but not with omega-6 FA, decreased 8-IsoP-U, AOPP, NT levels and increased TEAC and SOD activity. Our results suggest that NT may play a role in the pathophysiology of DD, while elevated isoprostane is likely caused by the high omega-6/omega-3 FA ratio. Omega-3 FA supplementation reduces oxidative stress in patients with DD. This study was registered with the ISRCTN registry (ISRCTN81655012).
