The ethanol-inducible cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is also induced under different pathological and physiological conditions. Studies including ours have shown that CYP2E1 is bimodally targeted to both the endoplasmic reticulum (microsomes) (mc CYP2E1) and mitochondria (mt CYP2E1). In this study we investigated the role of mtCYP2E1 in ethanol-mediated oxidative stress in stable cell lines expressing predominantly mt CYP2E1 or mc CYP2E1. The ER+ mutation (A2L, A9L), which increases the affinity of the nascent protein for binding to the signal recognition particle, preferentially targets CYP2E1 to the endoplasmic reticulum. The Mt+ (L17G) and Mt++ (I8R, L11R, L17R) mutant proteins, showing progressively lower affinity for signal recognition particle binding, were targeted to mitochondria at correspondingly higher levels. The rate of GSH depletion, used as a measure of oxidative stress, was higher in cells expressing Mt++ and Mt+ proteins as compared with cells expressing ER+ protein. In addition, the cellular level of F2-isoprostanes, a direct indicator of oxidative stress, was increased markedly in Mt++ cells after ethanol treatment. Notably, expression of Mt++ CYP2E1 protein in yeast cells caused more severe mitochondrial DNA damage and respiratory deficiency than the wild type or ER+ proteins as tested by the inability of cells to grow on glycerol or ethanol. Additionally, liver mitochondria from ethanol-fed rats containing high mt CYP2E1 showed higher levels of F2-isoprostane production. These results strongly suggest that mt CYP2E1 induces oxidative stress and augments alcohol-mediated cell/tissue injury.  相似文献

Chronic ethanol consumption causes oxidative damage in the liver, and induction of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is one pathway involved in oxidative stress produced by ethanol. The hepatic accumulation of iron and polyunsaturated fatty acids significantly contributes to ethanol hepatotoxicity in the intragastric infusion model of ethanol treatment. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of the green tea flavanol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which has been shown to prevent alcohol-induced liver damage, on CYP2E1-mediated toxicity in HepG2 cells overexpressing CYP2E1 (E47 cells). Treatment of E47 cells with arachidonic acid plus iron (AA + Fe) was previously reported to produce synergistic toxicity in E47 cells by a mechanism dependent on CYP2E1 activity and involving oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. EGCG protected E47 cells against toxicity and loss of viability induced by AA+Fe; EGCG had no effect on CYP2E1 activity. Prevention of this toxicity was associated with a reduction in oxidative damage as reflected by decreased generation of reactive oxygen species, a decrease in lipid peroxidation, and maintenance of intracellular glutathione in cells challenged by AA+Fe in the presence of EGCG. AA+Fe treatment caused a decline in the mitochondrial membrane potential, which was also blocked by EGCG. In conclusion, EGCG exerts a protective action on CYP2E1-dependent oxidative stress and toxicity that may contribute to preventing alcohol-induced liver injury, and may be useful in preventing toxicity by various hepatotoxins activated by CYP2E1 to reactive intermediates.  相似文献

Cytochrome c oxidase dysfunction in oxidative stress   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) is the terminal oxidase of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This bigenomic enzyme in mammals contains 13 subunits of which the 3 catalytic subunits are encoded by the mitochondrial genes. The remaining 10 subunits with suspected roles in the regulation, and/or assembly, are coded by the nuclear genome. The enzyme contains two heme groups (heme a and a3) and two Cu(2+) centers (Cu(2+) A and Cu(2+) B) as catalytic centers and handles more than 90% of molecular O(2) respired by the mammalian cells and tissues. CcO is a highly regulated enzyme which is believed to be the pacesetter for mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and ATP synthesis. The structure and function of the enzyme are affected in a wide variety of diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, bone and skeletal diseases, and diabetes. Despite handling a high O(2) load the role of CcO in the production of reactive oxygen species still remains a subject of debate. However, a volume of evidence suggests that CcO dysfunction is invariably associated with increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production and cellular toxicity. In this paper we review the literature on mechanisms of multimodal regulation of CcO activity by a wide spectrum of physiological and pathological factors. We also review an array of literature on the direct or indirect roles of CcO in reactive oxygen species production.  相似文献

We have investigated the effects of hypoxia and myocardial ischemia/reperfusion on the structure and function of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO). Hypoxia (0.1% O(2) for 10 h) and cAMP-mediated inhibition of CcO activity were accompanied by hyperphosphorylation of subunits I, IVi1, and Vb and markedly increased reactive O(2) species production by the enzyme complex in an in vitro system that uses reduced cytochrome c as an electron donor. Both subunit phosphorylation and enzyme activity were effectively reversed by 50 nm H89 or 50 nm myristoylated peptide inhibitor (MPI), specific inhibitors of protein kinase A, but not by inhibitors of protein kinase C. In rabbit hearts subjected to global and focal ischemia, CcO activity was inhibited in a time-dependent manner and was accompanied by hyperphosphorylation as in hypoxia. Additionally, CcO activity and subunit phosphorylation in the ischemic heart were nearly completely reversed by H89 or MPI added to the perfusion medium. Hyperphosphorylation of subunits I, IVi1, and Vb was accompanied by reduced subunit contents of the immunoprecipitated CcO complex. Most interestingly, both H89 and MPI added to the perfusion medium dramatically reduced the ischemia/reperfusion injury to the myocardial tissue. Our results pointed to an exciting possibility of using CcO activity modulators for controlling myocardial injury associated with ischemia and oxidative stress conditions.  相似文献

Serum deprivation-induced HepG2 cell death is potentiated by CYP2E1   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Induction of oxidative stress plays a key role in serum deprivation-induced apoptosis. CYP2E1 plays an important role in toxicity of many chemicals and ethanol and produces oxidant stress. We investigated whether CYP2E1 expression can sensitize HepG2 cells to toxicity as a consequence of serum deprivation. The models used were HepG2 E47 cells that express human CYP2E1, and C34 HepG2 cells which do not express CYP2E1. E47 cells showed greater growth inhibition and enhanced cell death after serum deprivation, as compared to the C34 cells. DNA ladder and flow cytometry assays indicated that apoptosis occurred at earlier times after serum deprivation in E47 than C34 cells. Serum withdrawal-induced E47 cell death could be rescued by antioxidants, the mitochondrial permeability transition inhibitor cyclosporine A, z-DEVD-fmk, and a CYP2E1 inhibitor 4-methylpyrazole. Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation occurred in E47 cells after serum deprivation, and there was a corresponding decline in the E47 cell mitochondrial membrane potential and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels. We propose that the mechanism of this serum withdrawal plus CYP2E1 toxicity involves increased production of intracellular ROS, lipid peroxidation, and decline of GSH levels, which results in mitochondrial membrane damage and loss of membrane potential, followed by apoptosis. Potentiation of serum deprivation-induced cell death by CYP2E1 may contribute to the sensitivity of the liver to alcohol-induced ischemia and growth factor deprivation.  相似文献

Eukaryotic cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), the terminal enzyme of the energy-transducing mitochondrial electron transport chain is a hetero-oligomeric, heme–copper oxidase complex composed of both mitochondrially and nuclear-encoded subunits. It is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane where it couples the transfer of electrons from reduced cytochrome c to molecular oxygen with vectorial proton translocation across the membrane. The biogenesis of CcO is a complicated sequential process that requires numerous specific accessory proteins, so-called assembly factors, which include translational activators, translocases, molecular chaperones, copper metallochaperones and heme a biosynthetic enzymes. Besides these CcO-specific protein factors, the correct biogenesis of CcO requires an even greater number of proteins with much broader substrate specificities. Indeed, growing evidence indicates that mitochondrial ATP-dependent proteases might play an important role in CcO biogenesis. Out of the four identified energy-dependent mitochondrial proteases, three were shown to be directly involved in proteolysis of CcO subunits. In addition to their well-established protein-quality control function these oligomeric proteolytic complexes with chaperone-like activities may function as molecular chaperones promoting productive folding and assembly of subunit proteins. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the functional involvement of eukaryotic CcO-specific assembly factors and highlight the possible significance for CcO biogenesis of mitochondrial ATP-dependent proteases.  相似文献

BackgroundAlcohol consumption is considered to be a major health problem among people living with HIV/AIDS. Our previous reports have shown that ethanol reduced intracellular concentrations of antiretroviral drugs elvitegravir and darunavir in the HIV-1-infected U1 cell line. Ethanol also increased HIV-1 replication despite the presence of elvitegravir. Our previous finding has also shown that the levels of cytochrome P450 enzyme 2E1 (CYP2E1) and oxidative stress in blood monocytes were induced, while the concentration of alcohol in the plasma was reduced in HIV-1-infected alcohol users compared to uninfected alcohol users. However, the role of CYP2E1 in ethanol-enhanced oxidative stress and HIV-1 replication is still unclear.MethodsThis study examined the chronic effects (14 days) of ethanol on HIV viral load, oxidative DNA damage, expression of CYP2E1, expression of antioxidant enzymes (AOEs), expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). Further, to evaluate the role of CYP2E1 in mediating ethanol-induced viral replication, CYP2E1 siRNA and CYP2E1 selective inhibitor were used in the HIV-1-infected U1 cell line following ethanol treatment.ResultsChronic ethanol exposure demonstrated an increase in oxidative DNA damage and CYP2E1 expression in both non-infected and HIV-1-infected MDM. Our results showed that ethanol chronic exposure increased HIV-1 replication by ~3-fold in HIV-1-infected MDM. This ethanol-enhanced HIV-1 replication was associated with an increased oxidative DNA damage, an increased expression of CYP2E1, and a decreased expression of antioxidant enzyme PRDX6. In HIV-1-infected U1 cell line, we observed a decreased viral replication (~30%) and a decreased DNA damage (~100%) after repression of CYP2E1 by siRNA, upon ethanol exposure. We also observed a decreased viral replication (~25%) after inhibition of CYP2E1 by using selective CYP2E1 inhibitor.ConclusionsThe data suggest that chronic ethanol exposure increases HIV-1 replication in MDM, at least in part, through CYP2E1-mediated oxidative stress. These results are clinically relevant to potentially find effective treatment strategies for HIV-1-infected alcohol users.  相似文献

Induction of CYP2E1 by ethanol is one mechanism by which ethanol causes oxidative stress and alcohol liver disease. Although CYP2E1 is predominantly found in the endoplasmic reticulum, it is also located in rat hepatic mitochondria. In the current study, chronic alcohol consumption induced rat hepatic mitochondrial CYP2E1. To study the role of mitochondrial targeted CYP2E1 in generating oxidative stress and causing damage to mitochondria, HepG2 lines overexpressing CYP2E1 in mitochondria (mE10 and mE27 cells) were established by transfecting a plasmid containing human CYP2E1 cDNA lacking the hydrophobic endoplasmic reticulum targeting signal sequence into HepG2 cells followed by G418 selection. A 40-kDa catalytically active NH2-terminally truncated form of CYP2E1 (mtCYP2E1) was detected in the mitochondrial compartment in these cells by Western blot analysis. Cell death caused by depletion of GSH by buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) was increased in mE10 and mE27 cells as compared with cells transfected with empty vector (pCI-neo). Antioxidants were able to abolish the loss of cell viability. Increased levels of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial 3-nitrotyrosine and 4-hydroxynonenal protein adducts and decreased mitochondrial aconitase activity and mitochondrial membrane potential were observed in mE10 and mE27 cells treated with BSO. The mitochondrial membrane stabilizer, cyclosporine A, was also able to protect these cells from BSO toxicity. These results revealed that CYP2E1 in the mitochondrial compartment could induce oxidative stress in the mitochondria, damage mitochondria membrane potential, and cause a loss of cell viability. The accumulation of CYP2E1 in hepatic mitochondria induced by ethanol consumption might play an important role in alcohol liver disease.  相似文献

Eukaryotic cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), the terminal component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain is a heterooligomeric complex that belongs to the superfamily of heme-copper containing terminal oxidases. The enzyme, composed of both mitochondrially and nuclear encoded subunits, is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it catalyzes the transfer of electrons form reduced cytochrome c to dioxygen, coupling this reaction with vectorial proton pumping across the inner membrane. Due to the complexity of the enzyme, the biogenesis of CcO involves a multiplicity of steps, carried out by a number of highly specific gene products. These include mainly proteins that mediate the delivery and insertion of copper ions, synthesis and incorporation of heme moieties and membrane-insertion and topogenesis of constituent protein subunits. Isolated CcO deficiency represents one of the most frequently recognized causes of respiratory chain defects in humans, associated with severe, often fatal clinical phenotype. Here we review recent advancements in the understanding of this intricate process, with a focus on mammalian enzyme.  相似文献

Polyunsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic acid (AA) play an important role in alcohol-induced liver injury. AA promotes toxicity in rat hepatocytes with high levels of cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) and in HepG2 E47 cells, which express CYP2E1. The possible role of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) members in this process was evaluated. SB203580, a p38 MAPK inhibitor, and PD98059, an ERK inhibitor, but not wortmannin a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, prevented AA toxicity in pyrazole hepatocytes and E47 cells. SB203580 prevented the enhancement of AA toxicity by salicylate. SB203580 neither lowered the levels of CYP2E1 nor affected CYP2E1-dependent oxidative stress. The decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential produced by AA was prevented by SB203580. Treating CYP2E1-induced cells with AA activated p38 MAPK but not ERK or AKT. This activation was blocked by antioxidants. AA increased the translocation of NF-kappaB to the nucleus. Salicylate blocked this translocation, which may contribute to the enhancement of AA toxicity by salicylate. SB203580 restored AA-induced NF-kappaB translocation, which may contribute to protection against toxicity. In conclusion, AA toxicity was related to lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, and to the activation of p38 MAPK, as a consequence of CYP2E1-dependent production of reactive oxygen species. Activation of p38 MAPK by AA coupled to AA-induced oxidative stress may synergize to cause cell toxicity by affecting mitochondrial membrane potential and by modulation of NF-kappaB activation.  相似文献

Stalled biogenesis of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) complex results in degradation of subunits containing redox cofactors. The conserved Oma1 metalloproteinase mediates facile Cox1 degradation in cells lacking the Coa2 assembly factor, but not in a series of other mutants stalled in CcO maturation. Oma1 is activated in coa2Δ cells, but the selective Cox1 degradation does not arise merely from its activation. Oma1 is also active in cells with dysfunctional mitochondria and cox11Δ cells impaired in CcO maturation, but this activation does not result in Oma1-mediated Cox1 degradation. The facile and selective degradation of Cox1 in coa2Δ cells, relative to other CcO assembly mutants, is likely due to impaired hemylation and subsequent misfolding of the subunit. Specific Cox1 proteolysis in coa2Δ cells arises from a combination of Oma1 activation and a susceptible conformation of Cox1.  相似文献

We report that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-inducible CYP1B1 is targeted to mitochondria by sequence-specific cleavage at the N terminus by a cytosolic Ser protease (polyserase 1) to activate the cryptic internal signal. Site-directed mutagenesis, COS-7 cell transfection, and in vitro import studies in isolated mitochondria showed that a positively charged domain at residues 41–48 of human CYP1B1 is part of the mitochondrial (mt) import signal. Ala scanning mutations showed that the Ser protease cleavage site resides between residues 37 and 41 of human CYP1B1. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) treatment induced oxidative stress, mitochondrial respiratory defects, and mtDNA damage that was attenuated by a CYP1B1-specific inhibitor, 2,3,4,5-tetramethoxystilbene. In support, the mitochondrial CYP1B1 supported by mitochondrial ferredoxin (adrenodoxin) and ferredoxin reductase showed high aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity. Administration of benzo[a]pyrene or 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin induced similar mitochondrial functional abnormalities and oxidative stress in the lungs of wild-type mice and Cyp1a1/1a2-null mice, but the effects were markedly blunted in Cyp1b1-null mice. These results confirm a role for CYP1B1 in inducing PAH-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction. The role of mitochondrial CYP1B1 was assessed using A549 lung epithelial cells stably expressing shRNA against NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase or mitochondrial adrenodoxin. Our results not only show conservation of the endoprotease cleavage mechanism for mitochondrial import of family 1 CYPs but also reveal a direct role for mitochondrial CYP1B1 in PAH-mediated oxidative and chemical damage to mitochondria.  相似文献

Abstract: We demonstrate the presence of cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) in astrocytes in primary culture, its induction by ethanol, and the concomitant generation of free radical species. Double immunofluorescence using anti-CYP2E1 and anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein showed that CYP2E1 was distributed over the cytoplasm and processes, although labeling was more pronounced over the nuclear membrane. Immunogold labeling confirmed this pattern of distribution. Addition of 25 m M ethanol to the astrocyte culture medium for 14 days resulted in an increase in the CYP2E1 content, as determined by confocal microscopy and dot blot. In addition, ethanol induced a dose-dependent increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species that was partially prevented by incubating the astrocytes with anti-CYP2E1. Alcohol also induced a dose-dependent increase in malonaldehyde and hydroxynonenal formation and a depletion of the glutathione (GSH) content. These results suggest that ethanol induces oxidative damage in astrocytes, which could explain some of the toxic effects of ethanol on these cells, such as cytoskeletal alterations. This assumption is supported here by the fact that an increase in GSH content prevents the deleterious effects of alcohol on the cytoskeleton of astrocytes. These results suggest that importance of oxidative stress as a mechanism involved in alcohol-induced neural and brain damage.  相似文献

Yeast CcO (cytochrome c oxidase) has been developed as a facile system for the production and analysis of mutants of a mitochondrial form of CcO for mechanistic studies. First, a 6H tag (His6 tag) was fused to the C-terminus of a nuclear-encoded subunit of CcO from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This allowed efficient purification of a WT (wild-type) mitochondrial CcO, 6H-WT (yeast CcO with a 6H tag on the nuclear-encoded Cox13 subunit), with a recovery yield of 45%. Its catalytic-centre activity [≈180 e·s(-1) (electrons per s)], UV-visible signatures of oxidized and reduced states and ability to form the P(M) ['peroxy' (but actually a ferryl/radical state)] and F (ferryl) intermediates confirm normal functioning of the histidine-tagged protein. Point mutations were introduced into subunit I of the 6H-WT strain. All mutants were screened for their ability to assemble CcO and grow on respiratory substrate. One such mutant [6H-E243DI (the 6H-WT strain with an additional mutation of E243D in mitochondrial DNA-encoded subunit I)] was purified and showed ~50% of the 6H-WT catalytic-centre activity, consistent with the effects of the equivalent mutation in bacterial oxidases. Mutations in both the D and the H channels affect respiratory growth and these effects are discussed in terms of their putative roles in CcO mechanism.  相似文献

Ethanol treatment causes an increase in expression of TGF-beta1 and CYP2E1 in the centrilobular area. Alcoholic liver disease is usually initiated in the centrilobular region of the liver. We hypothesized that the combination of TGF-beta1 and CYP2E1 produces increased oxidative stress and liver cell toxicity. To test this possibility, we studied the effects of TGF-beta1 on the viability of HepG2 E47 cells that express human CYP2E1, and C34 HepG2 cells, which do not express CYP2E1. E47 cells underwent greater growth inhibition and enhanced apoptosis after TGF-beta1 treatment, as compared to the C34 cells. There was an enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a decline in reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in the TGF-beta1-treated E47 cells and the enhanced cell death could be prevented by antioxidants. The CYP2E1 inhibitor diallyl sulfide prevented the potentiated cell death in E47 cells validating the role of CYP2E1. Mitochondrial membrane potential declined in the TGF-beta1-treated E47 cells, prior to developing toxicity, and cell death could be prevented by trifluoperazine, an inhibitor of the mitochondrial membrane permeability transition. TGF-beta1 also produced a loss of cell viability in hepatocytes from pyrazole-treated rats with elevated levels of CYP2E1, compared to control hepatocytes. In conclusion, increased toxic interactions by TGF-beta1 plus CYP2E1 can occur by a mechanism involving increased production of intracellular ROS and depletion of GSH, resulting in mitochondrial membrane damage and loss of membrane potential, followed by apoptosis. Potentiation of TGF-beta1-induced cell death by CYP2E1 may contribute to mechanisms of alcohol-induced liver disease.  相似文献

Antioxidant and prooxidant properties of mitochondrial Coenzyme Q   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
Coenzyme Q is both an essential electron carrier and an important antioxidant in the mitochondrial inner membrane. The reduced form, ubiquinol, decreases lipid peroxidation directly by acting as a chain breaking antioxidant and indirectly by recycling Vitamin E. The ubiquinone formed in preventing oxidative damage is reduced back to ubiquinol by the respiratory chain. As well as preventing lipid peroxidation, Coenzyme Q reacts with other reactive oxygen species, contributing to its effectiveness as an antioxidant. There is growing interest in using Coenzyme Q and related compounds therapeutically because mitochondrial oxidative damage contributes to degenerative diseases. Paradoxically, Coenzyme Q is also involved in superoxide production by the respiratory chain. To help understand how Coenzyme Q contributes to both mitochondrial oxidative damage and antioxidant defences, we have reviewed its antioxidant and prooxidant properties.  相似文献

Enhanced hepatic levels of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) may play a key role in the pathogenesis of some liver diseases because CYP2E1 represents a significant source of reactive oxygen species. Although a large fraction of CYP2E1 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum, CYP2E1 is also present in mitochondria. In this study, we asked whether ethanol, a known inducer of microsomal CYP2E1, could also increase CYP2E1 within mitochondria. Our findings indicated that ethanol increased microsomal and mitochondrial CYP2E1 in cultured rat hepatocytes and in the liver of lean mice. This was associated with decreased levels of glutathione, possibly reflecting increased oxidative stress. In contrast, in leptin-deficient obese mice, ethanol administration did not increase mitochondrial CYP2E1, nor it depleted mitochondrial glutathione, suggesting that leptin deficiency hampers mitochondrial targeting of CYP2E1. Thus, ethanol intoxication increases CYP2E1 not only in the endoplasmic reticulum but also in mitochondria, thus favouring oxidative stress in these compartments.  相似文献
