ATPase activity of isolated plasma membrane vesicles of leaves of Elodea as affected by thiol reagents and NADH/NAD+ ratio

The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that the plasma membrane-bound ATPase activity is influenced by the redox poise of the cytoplasm. Purified plasma membrane vesicles from leaves of Elodea canadensis Michx. and E. nuttallii (Planch.) St. John were isolated using an aqueous polymer two-phase batch procedure. The distribution of marker enzyme activities confirmed the plasma membrane origin of the vesicles. The vesicles exhibited NADH-ferricyanide reductase activity, indicating the presence of a redox chain in the plasma membrane. The K⁺, Mg²⁺-ATPase activity associated with these vesicles was inhibited by the sulfhydryl reagents N-ethylmaleimide and glutathione (GSSG). Furthermore the activity was inhibited by NAD⁺. This inhibition by NAD⁺ was relieved by increasing the NADH/NAD⁺ ratio. The possibility that the ATPase activity is regulated by the cytoplasmic NAD(P)H/ NAD(P)⁺ ratio is discussed, as well as the role of a plasma membrane-bound redox chain.     

Lipid peroxidation in purified plasma membrane fractions of rat liver in relation to the hepatoxicity of carbon tetrachloride

Preparations of rat liver sinusoidal plasma membrane have been tested for their ability to metabolize the hepatotoxin carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) to reactive free radicals in vitro and compared in this respect with standard preparations of rat liver microsomes. The sinusoidal plasma membranes were relatively free of endoplasmic reticulum-associated activities such as the enzymes of the cytochrome P450 system and glucose-6-phosphatase. CCl4 metabolism was measured as (i) covalent binding of [14C]-CCl4 to membrane protein, (ii) electron spin resonance spin-trapping of CCl3. radicals and (iii) CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation. By all of these tests, purified sinusoidal plasma membranes were found unable to metabolize CCl4. The fatty acid composition of the plasma membranes was almost identical to that of the microsomal preparation and both membrane fractions exhibited similar rates of the lipid peroxidation that was stimulated non-enzymically by gamma-radiation or incubation with ascorbate and iron. The absence of CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation in the plasma membranes seems to be due, therefore, to an absence of CCl4 activation rather than an inherent resistance to lipid peroxidation. We conclude that damage to the hepatocyte plasma membrane during CCl4 intoxication is not due to a significant local activation of CCl4 to CCl3. within that membrane.     

Oxidative stress and heart failure

Various abnormalities have been implicated in the transition of hypertrophy to heart failure but the exact mechanism is still unknown. Thus heart failure subsequent to hypertrophy remains a major clinical problem. Recently, oxidative stress has been suggested to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Here we describe antioxidant changes as well as their significance during hypertrophy and heart failure stages. Heart hypertrophy in rats and guinea pigs, in response to pressure over-load, is associated with an increase in antioxidant reserve and a decrease in oxidative stress. Hypertrophied rat hearts show increased tolerance for different oxidative stress conditions such as those imposed by free radicals, hypoxia-reoxygenation and ischemia-reperfusion. On the other hand, heart failure under acute as well as chronic conditions is associated with reduced antioxidant reserve and increased oxidative stress. The latter may have a causal role as suggested by the protection seen with antioxidant treatment in acute as well as in chronic heart failure. It is becoming increasingly apparent that, anytime the available antioxidant reserve in the cell becomes inadequate, myocardial dysfunction is imminent.

Longitudinal component of trans-root electrical potential difference: evidence from application of metabolic inhibitors to the cut end of excised maize roots

Changes in trans-root electrical potential induced by application of metabolic inhibitors (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, vanadate, diethylstilbestrol, N-ethyl maleimide, p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid, KCN, salicylhydroxamic acid) and electron acceptors (hexachloroiridate IV and hexacyanoferrate III) to the cut end of excised roots of maize demonstrated existence of a longitudinal component of trans-root electrical potential. It was probably associated with redox plasma membrane bound system(s) and coupled to the cyanide sensitive and alternative respiration pathways. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Phospholipid Flippase ATP10A Translocates Phosphatidylcholine and Is Involved in Plasma Membrane Dynamics

We showed previously that ATP11A and ATP11C have flippase activity toward aminophospholipids (phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)) and ATP8B1 and that ATP8B2 have flippase activity toward phosphatidylcholine (PC) (Takatsu, H., Tanaka, G., Segawa, K., Suzuki, J., Nagata, S., Nakayama, K., and Shin, H. W. (2014) J. Biol. Chem. 289, 33543–33556). Here, we show that the localization of class 5 P4-ATPases to the plasma membrane (ATP10A and ATP10D) and late endosomes (ATP10B) requires an interaction with CDC50A. Moreover, exogenous expression of ATP10A, but not its ATPase-deficient mutant ATP10A(E203Q), dramatically increased PC flipping but not flipping of PS or PE. Depletion of CDC50A caused ATP10A to be retained at the endoplasmic reticulum instead of being delivered to the plasma membrane and abrogated the increased PC flipping activity observed by expression of ATP10A. These results demonstrate that ATP10A is delivered to the plasma membrane via its interaction with CDC50A and, specifically, flips PC at the plasma membrane. Importantly, expression of ATP10A, but not ATP10A(E203Q), dramatically altered the cell shape and decreased cell size. In addition, expression of ATP10A, but not ATP10A(E203Q), delayed cell adhesion and cell spreading onto the extracellular matrix. These results suggest that enhanced PC flipping activity due to exogenous ATP10A expression alters the lipid composition at the plasma membrane, which may in turn cause a delay in cell spreading and a change in cell morphology.     

Up-regulation of plasma membrane-associated redox activities in neuronal cells lacking functional mitochondria

Mitochondria-deficient cells (rho(o) cells) survive through enhanced glycolytic metabolism in the presence of pyruvate and uridine. The plasma membrane redox system (PMRS) contains several NAD(P)H-related enzymes and plays a key role in maintaining the levels of NAD(+)/NADH and reduced coenzyme Q. In this study, rho(o) cells were used to investigate how the PMRS is regulated under conditions of mitochondrial dysfunction. rho(o) cells exhibited a lower oxygen consumption rate and higher levels of lactate than parental cells, and were more sensitive to glycolysis inhibitors (2-deoxyglucose and iodoacetamide) than control cells. However, they were more resistant to H(2)O(2), consistent with increased catalase activity and decreased oxidative damage (protein carbonyls and nitrotyrosine). PM-associated redox enzyme activities were enhanced in rho(o) cells compared to those in control cells. Our data suggest that all PMRS enzymes and biomarkers tested are closely related to the ability of the PMs to maintain redox homeostasis. These results illustrate that an up-regulated PM redox activity can protect cells from oxidative stress as a result of an improved antioxidant capacity, and suggest a mechanism by which neurons adapt to conditions of impaired mitochondrial function.     

Blue light effects on stomata are mediated by the guard cell plasma membrane redox system distinct from the proton translocating ATPase

Abstract. The effects of blue light on stomata are critically analysed. Blue-light-induced increase in stomatal conductance is preceded by membrane hyperpolarization, proton efflux, potassium uptake and malate synthesis in guard cells. Hypothetically, a flavin containing plasma membrane redox system can pump protons out of guard cells on illumination with blue light. It is proposed that this electrogenic proton pump requires NAD(P)H but does not involve ATP/ATPase.

Aldehyde reductase gene expression by lipid peroxidation end products,MDA and HNE

Membrane lipid peroxidation results in the production of a variety of aldehydic compounds that play a significant role in aging, drug toxicity and the pathogenesis of a number of human diseases, such as atherosclerosis and cancer. Increased lipid peroxidation and reduced antioxidant status may also contribute to the development of diabetic complications. This study reports that lipid peroxidation end products such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) induce aldehyde reductase (ALR) gene expression. MDA and HNE induce an increase in intracellular peroxide levels; N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) suppressed MDA- and HNE-induced ALR gene expression. These results indicate that increased levels of intracellular peroxides by MDA and HNE might be involved in the upregulation of ALR.     

Thiol redox state and oxidative stress affect sclerotial differentiation of the phytopathogenic fungi Sclerotium rolfsii and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Aims:  To investigate the involvement of oxidative stress and thiol redox state (TRS) in sclerotial differentiation of Sclerotium rolfsii and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
Methods and results:  Oxidative stress in these fungi was assessed by lipid peroxidation, which was higher in comparison with their nonsclerotiogenic counterpart strains. TRS [measured as glutathione (GSH) and cysteine] was associated with oxidative stress and differentiation using the TRS modulator and antioxidant Ν -acetylcysteine (AcCSH) and the GSH biosynthesis inducer and inhibitor l -2-oxo-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate and l -buthionine- S , R -sulphoximine (BSO) respectively. Differentiation and oxidative stress was decreased by AcCSH in both fungi. The decrease of differentiation by BSO was not associated with oxidative stress in these fungi.
Conclusions:  Differentiation and oxidative stress in both fungi depends on the availability of antioxidant noncytotoxic –SH groups and is not depended on any direct antioxidant role of GSH and its precursor cysteine.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This study helps to understand the mechanism(s) of sclerotial differentiation in these agriculturally important phytopathogenic fungi and proposes that AcCSH can be used as potent fungicide by (i) acting as growth inhibiting cytotoxic oxidant and (ii) sustaining these fungi in their undifferentiated hyphal stage where they are vulnerable to degradation by soil micro-organisms.

外源抗坏血酸对臭氧胁迫下水稻叶片膜保护系统的影响

在田间原位条件下,运用OTCs（open top chamber）装置研究了外源抗坏血酸（exogenous ascorbate acid,ExAsA）对臭氧（O3）胁迫下水稻（Oryza Sativa L.）叶片膜保护系统的影响.研究发现,O3胁迫下的水稻叶片经过ExAsA处理后叶绿素a含量显著升高,而叶绿素b含量变化不明显;相对于对照,经ExAsA处理后的水稻叶片过氧化氢（H2O2）和丙二醛（MDA）含量及相对电导率（REC）均降低,超氧化物岐化酶（SOD）和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（APX）活性明显提高,抗氧化剂类胡萝卜素（Carotene）含量升高.这表明,ExAsA改善了O3胁迫下水稻叶片的抗氧化系统功能,减少了叶片中活性氧（activity oxygen species,AOS）的积累,抑制了脂质过氧化（lipid peroxidation,LP）,延迟了O3对水稻叶片的老化作用,提高了水稻叶片对O3危害的抗性.     

α-Lipoic acid modulates thiol antioxidant defences and attenuates exercise-induced oxidative stress in standardbred trotters

Several micronutrient supplementation strategies are used to cope with oxidative stress, although their benefits have recently been questioned. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of DL-α-lipoic acid (LA) in response to acute exercise and during recovery in horses. Six standardbred trotters were tested on the treadmill before and after 5-week LA supplementation (25 mg/kg body weight/day). According to electron paramagnetic resonance measurements, strenuous aerobic exercise increased significantly free radical formation in the gluteus medius muscle, which was prevented by LA supplementation. The activities of thioredoxin reductase and glutathione reductase in muscle were significantly increased in LA-treated horses, but neither LA nor exercise affected muscle thioredoxin activity. LA increased the concentration of total glutathione in muscle at rest and during recovery. Treatment with LA blunted the exercise-induced increase in plasma oxygen radical absorbance capacity and decreased the post-exercise levels of lipid hydroperoxides in plasma and malondialdehyde in plasma and in muscle. These findings suggest that LA enhances thiol antioxidant defences and decreases exercise-induced oxidative stress in skeletal muscle.     

Pregnancy induced hypertension: a role for peroxidation in microvillus plasma membranes

It has been recently hypothesized that in PIH a placental oxidant-antioxidant imbalance might cause the release of lipoperoxidation products into the circulation, with subsequent damage of endothelial cell membranes. In this hypothesis the endothelial cell and further increase in circulating lipoperoxide levels, which are by themselves able to induce smooth muscle constriction and increased pressor responsiveness to angiotensin II. In order to investigate this issue, we studied the basal content of lipid peroxides in terms of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the syncytiotrophoblast plasma membranes (SPM) from PIH women. Moreover, we investigated the susceptibility to peroxidation of SPM using anin vitro oxidative stress as a tool to verify the predisposition to thein vivo development of peroxidation products. The fatty acid composition of the membranes was also analyzed. Microvillus membrane lipoperoxide concentrations were significantly increased in PIH women (62.8±7.6 ng MDA/mg prot) compared with healthy pregnant subjects (37.6±4.8 ng MDA/mg prot; p<0.01).The formation of TBARS under the action of phenylhydrazine was significantly greater in PIH women (90.3±7.4 mmol MDA/mol cholesterol) than in normal pregnant subjects (68.6±6.4 mmol MDA/mol cholesterol; p<0.01). In PIH microvillus membrane we also observed a significant increase of the content of polyunsaturated arachidonic acid.The increased susceptibility to oxidative stress of SPMs from PIH women might be due either to reduced antioxidant systems or to an abnormality of the lipid composition of the membrane. The present work also demonstrated in PIH a reduction in the SPM content of saturated fatty acids with an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are the major substrate for peroxidation. On the other hand, the higher lipoperoxidation may be due to the observed increased susceptibility to peroxidative stress, to a primary reduction in placental perfusion with tissue hypoxia or to both factors, which can potentiate each other.     

Expanding the horizons of lipidomics. Towards fluxolipidomics

Abstract

This short review takes into consideration the status of lipidomics as issued from almost a decade of development. Because of the huge number of molecular species analyzed, there is a trend in subdividing lipidomics according to subdomains, in particular relating to the function of molecules. It is also pointed out that lipid imaging without the use of exogenous probes will help making relationships between molecular structures and the topography of lipid assemblies, especially in cellular compartments. Finally, a fluxomics approach is proposed for lipid molecular species, both in terms of compartments and biochemical metabolism. The example of fluxolipidomics of essential fatty acids toward their enzyme-dependent oxygenated metabolites and further toward their degradation products is developed.
