The mechanism involved in the prosurvival effect of interleukin-3 on the human acute myeloid leukaemia cell line M07e is investigated. A decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, glucose transport activity and cell survival was observed in the presence of inhibitors of plasma membrane ROS sources, such as diphenylene iodonium and apocynin, and by small interference RNA for Nox2. Moreover, IL-3 incubation stimulated the synthesis of Nox2 cytosolic sub-unit p47phox and glucose transporter Glut1. Thus, the inhibition of ROS generation by Nox inhibitors stimulated apoptosis showing that ROS production, induced by IL-3 via Nox2, protects leukaemic cells from cell death. Also incubation with receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as anti-leukaemic drugs blocking the stem cell factor receptor (c-kit), showed similar effects, hinting that IL-3 transmodulates c-kit phosphorylation. These mechanisms may play an important role in acute myeloid leukaemia treatment, representing a novel therapeutic target. 相似文献

Activation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)α and its protective role in cardiovascular function has been reported but the exact mechanism(s) involved is not clear. As we have shown that PPARα ligands increased nitric oxide (NO) production and cardiovascular function is controlled by a balance between NO and free radicals, we hypothesize that PPARα activation tilts the balance between NO and free radicals and that this mechanism defines the protective effects of PPARα ligands on cardiovascular system. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was greater in PPARα knockout (KO) mice compared with its wild type (WT) litter mates (130 ± 10 mmHg versus 107 ± 4 mmHg). l-NAME (100 mg/L p.o.), the inhibitor of NO production abolished the difference between PPARα KO and WT mice. In kidney homogenates, tissue lipid hydroperoxide generation was greater in KO mice (11.8 ± 1.4 pM/mg versus 8.3 ± 0.6 pM/mg protein). This was accompanied by a higher total NOS activity (46 ± 6%, p < 0.05) and a 3 fold greater Ca2+-dependent NOS activity in kidney homogenates of untreated PPARα WT compared with the KO mice. Clofibrate, a PPARα ligand, increased NOS activity in WT but not KO mice. Bezafibrate (30 mg/kg) reduced SBP in conscious rats (19 ± 4%, p < 0.05), increased urinary NO excretion (4.06 ± 0.53–7.07 ± 1.59 μM/24 h; p < 0.05) and reduced plasma 8-isoprostane level (45.8 ± 15 μM versus 31.4 ± 8 μM), and NADP(H) oxidase activity (16 ± 5%). Implantation of DOCA pellet (20 mg s.c.) in uninephrectomized mice placed on 1% NaCl drinking water increased SBP by a margin that was markedly greater in KO mice (193 ± 13 mmHg versus 130 ± 12 mmHg). In the rat, DOCA increased SBP and NAD(P)H oxidase activity and both effects were diminished by clofibrate. In addition, clofibrate reduced ET-1 production in DOCA/salt hypertensive rats. Thus, apart from inhibition of ET-1 production, PPARα activation exerts protective actions in hypertension via a mechanism that involves NO production and/or inhibition of NAD(P)H oxidase activity. 相似文献

Fibrotic disorders are typified by excessive connective tissue and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition that precludes normal healing processes in different tissues. Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) is involved in the fibrotic response. Several muscular dystrophies are characterized by extensive fibrosis. However, the exact role of Ang-II in skeletal muscle fibrosis is unknown. Here we show that myoblasts responded to Ang-II by increasing protein levels of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2), collagen-III and fibronectin. These Ang-II-induced pro-fibrotic effects were mediated by AT-1 receptors. Remarkably, Ang-II induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) via a NAD(P)H oxidase-dependent mechanism, as shown by inhibition of ROS production via the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitors diphenylene iodonium (DPI) and apocynin. This increase in ROS is critical for Ang-II-induced fibrotic effects, as indicated by the decrease in Ang-II-induced CTGF and fibronectin levels by DPI and apocynin. We also show that Ang-II-induced ROS production and fibrosis require PKC activity as indicated by the generic PKC inhibitor chelerythrine.These results strongly suggest that the fibrotic response induced by Ang-II is mediated by AT-1 receptor and requires NAD(P)H-induced ROS in skeletal muscle cells. 相似文献

NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor prevents blood pressure elevation and cardiovascular hypertrophy in aldosterone-infused rats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Increased bioavailability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of mineralocorticoid hypertension. To find out the source of ROS, we evaluated the role of NAD(P)H oxidase in blood pressure (BP) elevation, cardiovascular hypertrophy, and fibrosis in aldosterone-salt rats. Aldosterone infusion (0.75 microg/h) significantly increased BP, which is attenuated by apocynin (1.5 mmol/L). Cardiac hypertrophy developed by aldosterone infusion was also normalized with apocynin. Greater mRNA for p22phox and NAD(P)H oxidase activity (more than twofold) in aorta of aldosterone-infused rats was reduced in apocynin-treated rats. Aldosterone infusion increased marginally procollagen I and III expression in LV compared to controls and apocynin decreased procollagen. Masson's Trichrome stain showed increased cardiac perivascular fibrosis, which was reduced by apocynin. These results suggest that NAD(P)H oxidase plays an important role in cardiovascular damage associated with mineralocorticoid hypertension. 相似文献

Oxygen consumption in the presence of cyanide was utilized as a measure of plasma membrane electron transport in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell lines. Both intact cells and isolated plasma membranes carry cyanide-insensitive NADH(P)H oxidases at their external membrane surfaces (designated ECTO-NOX proteins). Regular oscillatory patterns of oxygen consumption with period lengths characteristic of those observed for rates of NADH oxidation by ECTO-NOX proteins were observed to provide evidence for transfer of protons and electrons to reduce oxygen to water. The oscillations plus the resistance to inhibition by cyanide identify the bulk of the oxygen consumption as due to ECTO-NOX proteins. With intact CHO cells, oxygen consumption was enhanced by but not dependent upon external NAD(P)H addition. With intact HeLa cells, oxygen consumption was inhibited by both NADH and NAD+ as was growth. The results suggest that plasma membrane electron transport from internal donors to oxygen as an external acceptor is mediated through ECTO-NOX proteins and that electron transport to molecular oxygen may be differentially affected by external pyridine nucleotides depending on cell type. 相似文献

Hyperglycemia increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). NAD(P)H oxidase, producing superoxide anion, is the main source of ROS in diabetic podocytes and their production contributes to the development of diabetic nephropathy. We have investigated the effect of an antidiabetic drug, metformin on the production of superoxide anion in cultured podocytes and attempted to elucidate underlying mechanisms.The experiments were performed in normal (NG, 5.6 mM) and high (HG, 30 mM) glucose concentration. Overall ROS production was measured by fluorescence of a DCF probe. Activity of NAD(P)H oxidase was measured by chemiluminescence method. The AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK) activity was determined by immunobloting, measuring the ratio of phosphorylated AMPK to total AMPK. Glucose accumulation was measured using 2-deoxy-[1,2-3H]-glucose.ROS production increased by about 27% (187 ± 8 vs. 238 ± 9 arbitrary units AU, P < 0.01) in HG. Metformin (2 mM, 2 h) markedly reduced ROS production by 45% in NG and 60% in HG. Metformin decreased NAD(P)H oxidase activity in NG (36%) and HG (86%). AMPK activity was increased by metformin in NG and HG (from 0.58 ± 0.07 to. 0.99 ± 0.06, and from 0.53 ± 0.03 to 0.64 ± 0.03; P < 0.05). The effects of metformin on the activities of NAD(P)H oxidase and AMPK were abolished in the presence of AMPK inhibitor, compound C.We have shown that metformin decreases production of ROS through reduction of NAD(P)H oxidase activity. We also have demonstrated relationship between activity of NAD(P)H oxidase and AMPK. 相似文献

Schistosoma mansoni: ferredoxin-NADP(H) oxidoreductase and the metabolism of reactive oxygen species
Mitochondrial-type ferredoxin-NADP(H) oxidoreductases (FNR) catalyze the electron transport between NADPH and substrates such as ferredoxins. Even though enzymes belonging to this family are present in several organisms, including prokaryotes, their biological function is not clearly understood. In a previous work, we reported the existence of a mitochondrial-type FNR in the trematode Schistosoma mansoni (SmFNR). This enzyme conferred tolerance to oxidative stress conditions when tested in an heterologous system. In this work, we demonstrate that the SmFNR can be imported to mitochondria in mammal cells and show that its expression is induced in parasite cultures by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The results reported herein give further support to the involvement of SmFNR in ROS metabolism. 相似文献

Novel Nox inhibitor of oxLDL-induced reactive oxygen species formation in human endothelial cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

In this study, we investigated effects of a novel NAD(P)H oxidase (Nox)-inhibitor 3-benzyl-7-(2-benzoxazolyl)thio-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine (VAS2870) on oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation in human endothelial cells. Primary cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured to confluence and ROS formation was induced with 50microg/ml oxLDL for 2h. ROS formation was detected by chemiluminescence (CL) using the Diogenes reagent. OxLDL induced ROS formation in human endothelial cells (171+/-12%; n=10, P<0.05 vs. control). This augmented ROS formation in response to oxLDL was completely inhibited by the Nox inhibitor VAS2870 (101+/-9%; n=7, P<0.05 vs. oxLDL). Similar results were obtained with superoxide dismutase (91+/-7%; n=7, P<0.05 vs. oxLDL). However, the Nox4 mRNA expression level was neither changed by oxLDL nor VAS2870. We conclude that VAS2870 could provide a novel strategy to inhibit the augmented endothelial superoxide anion formation in response to cardiovascular risk factors. 相似文献

The increased levels of cell adhesion molecules (CAM) have been identified in diabetic vasculatures, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. To determine the relationship among vascular production of superoxide, expression of CAM and diabetes, superoxide generation and expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), E- and P-selectin in the aorta from control (C57BL/6J) and diabetic mice (ob/ob) were measured. In situ staining for superoxide using dihydroethidium showed an increased superoxide production in diabetic aorta in association with an enhanced NAD(P)H oxidase activity. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the endothelial expression of ICAM-1 (3.5 +/- 0.4) and VCAM-1 (3.8 +/- 0.3) in diabetic aorta was significantly higher than that in control aorta (0.9 +/- 0.5 and 1.6 +/- 0.3, respectively). Furthermore, there was a strong positive correlation (r = 0.89, p < 0.01 in ICAM-1 and r = 0.88, p < 0.01 in VCAM-1) between ICAM-1/VCAM-1 expression and vascular production of superoxide. The present data indicate that the increased production of superoxide via NAD(P)H oxidase may explain the enhanced expression of CAM in diabetic vasculatures. 相似文献

Increased expression of NAD(P)H oxidase in islets of animal models of Type 2 diabetes and its improvement by an AT1 receptor antagonist 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

This study was undertaken to reveal the role of NAD(P)H oxidase in increased oxidative stress in islets of Type 2 diabetes. Immunostaining analysis showed that staining intensities of NAD(P)H oxidase components, gp91phox and p22phox, significantly increased in islets of animal models of Type 2 diabetes, OLETF rats (60 weeks of age) and db/db mice (14 weeks of age), compared with age-matched controls, respectively, correlating with increased levels of oxidative stress marker, 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine or 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal modified protein. In db/db mice, oral administration of angiotensin II Type 1 receptor antagonist valsartan (5 mg/kg) for 4 weeks significantly attenuated the increased expression of gp91phox and p22phox together with inhibition of oxidative stress and partially restored decreased insulin contents in islets. Angiotensin II-related increased expression of NAD(P)H oxidase may play an important role in increased oxidative stress in islets of Type 2 diabetes. This mechanism may be a novel therapeutic target for preventing beta-cell damage. 相似文献

The oxidation of cytosolic NAD(P)H by external NAD(P)H dehydrogenases in the respiratory chain of plant mitochondria 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Ian M. Møller 《Physiologia plantarum》1997,100(1):85-90
The respiratory chain of plant mitochondria differs from that in mammalian mitochondria by containing several rotenone-insensitive NAD(P)H dehydrogenases. Two of these are located on the outer, cytosolic surface of the inner membrane. One is specific for NADH, the other for NADPH. Only the latter is inhibited by diphenyleneiodonium (DPI). Both of these enzymes are normally dependent upon Ca2+ for activity and this constitutes a potentially important mechanism by which the cell can regulate the oxidation of cytosolic NAD(P)H via the concentration of free Ca2+ . This and other potential regulatory mechanisms such as the substrate concentration and polyamines are discussed. 相似文献

A thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) has been identified in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus (Ss). This enzyme is a homodimeric flavoprotein that was previously identified as NADH oxidase in the same micro-organism ('Biotechnol. Appl. Biochem. 23 (1996) 47'). The primary structure of SsTrxR is made of 323 amino acid residues and contains two putative betaalphabeta regions for the binding of FAD, and a NADP(H) binding consensus sequence in the proximity of a CXXC motif. These findings indicate that SsTrxR is structurally related to the class II of the pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductases family. Moreover, the enzyme exhibits a NADP(H) dependent thioredoxin reductase activity requiring the presence of FAD. Surprisingly, the reductase activity of SsTrxR is reduced in the presence of a specific inhibitor of mammalian TrxR. This finding demonstrates that the archaeal enzyme, although structurally related to eubacterial TrxR, is functionally closer to eukaryal enzymes. Experimental evidences indicate that a disulphide bridge is required for the reductase but also for the NADH oxidase activity of the enzyme. These results are further supported by the significantly reduced activities exerted by the C147A mutant. The integrity of the CXXC motif is also involved in the stability of the enzyme. 相似文献

Vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NAD(P)H 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Vanadate stimulates the oxidation of NAD(P)H by biological membranes because such membranes contain NAD(P)H oxidases which are capable of reducing dioxygen to O2− and because vanadate catalyzes the oxidation of NAD(P)H by O2−, by a free radical chain mechanism. Dihydropyridines, such as reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMNH), which are not substrates for membrane-associated NAD(P)H oxidases, are not oxidized by membranes plus vanadate unless NAD(P)H is present to serve as a source of O2−. When [NMNH] greatly exceeds [NAD(P)H], in such reaction mixtures, one can observe the oxidation of many molecules of NMNH per NAD(P)H consumed. This reflects the chain length of the free radical chain mechanism. We have discussed the mechanism and significance of this process and have tried to clarify the pertinent but confusing literature. 相似文献

Abstractγ-Glutamyltransferase (GGT) plays a significant role in antioxidant defence and participates in the metabolism of glutathione (GSH). The enzyme is up-regulated after acute oxidative stress and during pro-oxidant periods, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms are not well known. The present investigation studied whether the endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was a determinant for GGT expression. A substantial amount of ROS is produced through the NADPH oxidase (NOX) system and knockdown of p22phox, a sub-unit of NOX1-4, resulted not only in reduced ROS levels but also in reduced GGT expression in human endometrial carcinoma cells. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) is an activator of NOX and it was found that PMA treatment of human colon carcinoma cells both increased cellular ROS levels and subsequently up-regulated GGT expression. On the other hand, the NOX inhibitor apocynin reduced ROS levels as well as GGT expression. The GGT mRNA sub-type A was increased after PMA-induced NOX activation. These results demonstrate that ROS generated from NOX enzymes are a significant determinant for GGT expression and activity. 相似文献

The increased levels of NAD(P)H effected by electrical depolarization are markedly augmented in the presence of cyclic AMP, isoproterenol, or RO 20-1724, agents known to elevate cyclic AMP in rat brain slices. The data presented indicate that the cyclic AMP effect on an important component of intermediate metabolism is not an enhancement of a basal response but a separate response that is activated by depolarization, is Ca2+-dependent, regulates cytochrome a-a3 independently of its effects on NAD(P)H levels, and is dependent on a substrate other than glucose. 相似文献

The amino acid fermentation by Corynebacterium glutamicum was monitored with an new technique that uses the first derivative of the NAD(P)H fluorescene signal. The rate of change of NAD(P)H pools is indicative of intracellular redox balance variations that correspond to metabolic changes. The profile of this signal showed several characteristics that coincided with major metabolic events during fermentation. We show here that the derivative fluorescence signal can accurately estimate points of threonine depletion, viable cell count, and the end of amino acid formation. Furthermore, on-line optimization strategies can be developed by using the derivative fluorescene signal. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Phenotypic differentiation of adventitial fibroblasts into myofibroblasts is an essential feature of vascular remodeling. The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in rat adventitial fibroblast differentiation to myofibroblast. Activation of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) was used as a marker of myofibroblast. Angiotensin II increased intracellular ROS in adventitial fibroblasts that was completely inhibited by the free radical scavenger NAC, the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor DPI, and transfection of antisense gp91phox oligonucleotides. Myofibroblast differentiation was prevented by inhibition of ROS generation with DPI, NAC, and antisense gp91phox as shown by decreased expression of alpha-SMA. Angiotensin II rapidly induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and JNK, both of which were inhibited by DPI, NAC, antisense gp91phox, and the selective AT1 receptor antagonist, losartan. Inhibiting p38MAPK with SB202190 or JNK with SP600125 also reduced angiotensin II-induced alpha-SMA expression. These findings demonstrate that angiotensin II induces adventitial fibroblast differentiation to myofibroblast via a pathway that involves NADPH oxidase generation of ROS and activation of p38MAPK and JNK pathways. 相似文献
