Mitochondrial dysfunction generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) which damage essential macromolecules. Oxidative modification of proteins, DNA, and lipids has been implicated as a major causal factor in the age-associated decline in tissue function. Mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes I and III are the principal sites of ROS production, and oxidative modifications to the complex subunits inhibit their in vitro activity. Therefore, we hypothesize that mitochondrial complex subunits may be primary targets for oxidative damage by ROS which may impair normal complex activity by altering their structure/function leading to mitochondrial dysfunction associated with aging. This study of kidney mitochondria from young, middle-aged, and old mice reveals that there are functional decreases in complexes I, II, IV, and V between aged compared to young kidney mitochondria and these functional declines directly correlate with increased oxidative modification to particular complex subunits. We postulate that the electron leakage from complexes causes specific damage to their subunits and increased ROS generation as oxidative damage accumulates, leading to further mitochondrial dysfunction, a cyclical process that underlies the progressive decline in physiologic function seen in aged mouse kidney. In conclusion, increasing mitochondrial dysfunction may play a key role in the age-associated decline in tissue function. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is observed during aging and in numerous age-related diseases. Dietary restriction (DR) is a regimen that protects against disease and extends life span in multiple species. However, it is unknown how DR mediates its protective effects. One prominent and consistent effect of DR in a number of systems is the ability to reduce oxidative stress and damage. The purpose of this review is to comprehensively examine the hypothesis that dietary restriction reduces oxidative stress in rodents by decreasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and increasing antioxidant enzyme activity, leading to an overall reduction of oxidative damage to macromolecules. The literature reveals that the effects of DR on oxidative stress are complex and likely influenced by a variety of factors, including sex, species, tissue examined, types of ROS and antioxidant enzymes examined, and duration of DR. Here we present a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the effect of DR on mitochondrial ROS generation, antioxidant enzymes, and oxidative damage. In a majority of studies, dietary restriction had little effect on mitochondrial ROS production or antioxidant activity. On the other hand, DR decreased oxidative damage in the majority of cases. Although the effects of DR on endogenous antioxidants are mixed, we find that glutathione levels are the most likely antioxidant to be increased by dietary restriction, which supports the emerging redox-stress hypothesis of aging. 相似文献

Decreased immune function associated with aging has been demonstrated in both humans and animals. We hypothesize that reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated damage to biological macromolecules may contribute to compromised immune response during aging. In this study, we compared the levels of lipid peroxidation and oxidatively modified proteins in plasma and splenocytes, and the mitogen-induced T lymphocyte proliferation in ad lib-fed (AL) and caloric restricted (CR) Fischer 344 × BNF1 male rats at the ages of 5, 18, and 31 months. The results show that AL rats exhibit an age-related decrease in proliferative response of splenic lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (Con A). This functional decline in T-lymphocytes during aging is inversely correlated to the levels of both lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl in the plasma and splenic lymphocytes. Caloric restriction, however, can partially reverse the age-dependent decrease in T lymphocyte proliferation and significantly reduce lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyl contents in plasma and splenocytes. The above observations support the hypothesis that the age-associated declines in immune function are related to the oxidative modification of biological macromolecules, which in turn may lead to enzyme inactivation, membrane disruption, and cell senescence. One of the mechanisms by which caloric restriction reverses declined immune function in aged rats is hypothesized to be through reduction in ROS production and thereby protection of cellular macromolecules against oxidative damage. 相似文献

The hypothesis is that the rate of oxygen consumption and the ensuing accrual of molecular oxidative damage constitute a fundamental mechanism governing the rate of aging is supported by several lines of evidence: (i) life spans of cold blooded animals and mammals with unstable basal metabolic rate (BMR) are extended and oxidative damage (OxD) is attenuated by an experimental decrease in metabolic rate; (ii) single gene mutations in Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans that extend life span almost invariably result in a generalized slowing of physiological activities, albeit via different mechanisms, affecting a decrease in OxD; (iii) caloric restriction decreases body temperature and OxD; and, (iv) results of studies on the effects of transgenic overexpressions of antioxidant enzymes are generally supportive, but quite ambiguous. It is suggested that oxidative damage to proteins plays a crucial role in aging because oxidized proteins lose catalytic function and are preferentially hydrolyzed. It is hypothesized that oxidative damage to specific proteins constitutes one of the mechanisms linking oxidative stress/damage and age-associated losses in physiological functions. 相似文献

Carbonylation of ER chaperone proteins in aged mouse liver 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Progressive accumulation of oxidative damage to macromolecules in aged tissues is thought to contribute to the decline in tissue function characteristic of the aged phenotype. Mitochondria are a major intracellular source of reactive oxygen species (ROS); however, other organelles are also endogenous sources of oxyradicals and oxidants, which can damage macromolecules. We, therefore, sought to examine the relationship between aging and oxidative damage to ER resident proteins, which exist in a strongly oxidizing environment necessary for disulfide bond formation. In these studies, we have fractionated young and aged liver homogenates, resolved the proteins by 2D gel electrophoresis, assayed for oxidative damage as indicated by protein carbonylation, and identified BiP/Grp78, protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), and calreticulin as exhibiting an age-associated increase in oxidative damage. Increased carbonylation of these key proteins in aged liver suggests an age-associated impairment in protein folding, disulfide crosslinking, and glycosylation in the aged mouse liver. 相似文献

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) are proposed to play a central role in aging and age-associated disorders, although direct in vivo evidence is lacking. We recently generated a mouse mutant with mutated inner mitochondrial membrane peptidase 2-like (Immp2l) gene, which impairs the signal peptide sequence processing of mitochondrial proteins cytochrome c1 and glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase 2. The mitochondria from mutant mice generate elevated levels of superoxide ion and cause impaired fertility in both sexes. Here, we design experiments to examine the effects of excessive mitochondrial ROS generation on health span. We show that Immp2l mutation increases oxidative stress in multiple organs such as the brain and the kidney, although expression of superoxide dismutases in these tissues of the mutants is also increased. The mutants show multiple aging-associated phenotypes, including wasting, sarcopenia, loss of subcutaneous fat, kyphosis, and ataxia, with female mutants showing earlier onset and more severe age-associated disorders than male mutants. The loss of body weight and fat was unrelated to food intake. Adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSC) from mutant mice showed impaired proliferation capability, formed significantly less and smaller colonies in colony formation assays, although they retained adipogenic differentiation capability in vitro. This functional impairment was accompanied by increased levels of oxidative stress. Our data showed that mitochondrial ROS is the driving force of accelerated aging and suggested that ROS damage to adult stem cells could be one of the mechanisms for age-associated disorders. 相似文献

AbstractReactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated during metabolism. ROS are involved in redox signaling, but in significant concentrations they can greatly elevate oxidative damage leading to neurodegeneration. Because of the enhanced sensitivity of brain to ROS, it is especially important to maintain a normal redox state in brain and spinal cord cell types. The complex effects of exercise benefit brain function, including functional enhancement as well as its preventive and therapeutic roles. Exercise can induce neurogenesis via neurotrophic factors, increase capillarization, decrease oxidative damage, and enhance repair of oxidative damage. Exercise is also effective in attenuating age-associated loss in brain function, which suggests that physical activity-related complex metabolic and redox changes are important for a healthy neural system. 相似文献

Oxidative stress caused by inactivation of glutathione peroxidase and adaptive responses 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products of cellular metabolism, primarily in the mitochondria. When the cellular production of ROS exceeds the cell's antioxidant capacity, cellular macromolecules such as lipids, proteins and DNA can be damaged. Because of this, 'oxidative stress' is thought to contribute to aging and pathogenesis of a variety of human diseases. However, in the last 10-15 years, a considerable body of evidence has accumulated that ROS serve as subcellular messengers, and play a role in gene regulation and signal transduction pathways, which may be involved in defensive mechanisms against oxidative stress. This review focuses on oxidative stress caused by the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), a major peroxide scavenging enzyme. GPx is inactivated by a variety of physiological substances, including nitric oxide and carbonyl compounds in vitro and in cell culture. Decreased GPx activity has also been reported in tissues where oxidative stress occurs in several pathological animal models. The accumulation of increased levels of peroxide resulting from inactivation of GPx may act as a second messenger and regulate expression of anti-apoptotic genes and the GPx itself to protect against cell damage. These findings suggest that GPx undergoes inactivation under various conditions such as nitroxidative stress and glycoxidative stress, and that these changes are a common feature of various types of oxidative stress which may be associated with the modification of redox regulation and cellular function. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis and redox regulation in cellular signaling 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during mitochondrial oxidative metabolism as well as in cellular response to xenobiotics, cytokines, and bacterial invasion. Oxidative stress refers to the imbalance due to excess ROS or oxidants over the capability of the cell to mount an effective antioxidant response. Oxidative stress results in macromolecular damage and is implicated in various disease states such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, neurodegeneration, and aging. Paradoxically, accumulating evidence indicates that ROS also serve as critical signaling molecules in cell proliferation and survival. While there is a large body of research demonstrating the general effect of oxidative stress on signaling pathways, less is known about the initial and direct regulation of signaling molecules by ROS, or what we term the "oxidative interface." Cellular ROS sensing and metabolism are tightly regulated by a variety of proteins involved in the redox (reduction/oxidation) mechanism. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms through which ROS directly interact with critical signaling molecules to initiate signaling in a broad variety of cellular processes, such as proliferation and survival (MAP kinases, PI3 kinase, PTEN, and protein tyrosine phosphatases), ROS homeostasis and antioxidant gene regulation (thioredoxin, peroxiredoxin, Ref-1, and Nrf-2), mitochondrial oxidative stress, apoptosis, and aging (p66Shc), iron homeostasis through iron-sulfur cluster proteins (IRE-IRP), and ATM-regulated DNA damage response. 相似文献

Aging is an inherently complex process that is manifested within an organism at genetic, molecular, cellular, organ, and system levels. Although the fundamental mechanisms are still poorly understood, a growing body of evidence points toward reactive oxygen species (ROS) as one of the primary determinants of aging. The "oxidative stress theory" holds that a progressive and irreversible accumulation of oxidative damage caused by ROS impacts on critical aspects of the aging process and contributes to impaired physiological function, increased incidence of disease, and a reduction in life span. While compelling correlative data have been generated to support the oxidative stress theory, a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the accumulation of oxidatively mediated damage and aging has not been strongly established. The goal of this minireview is to broadly describe mechanisms of in vivo ROS generation, examine the potential impact of ROS and oxidative damage on cellular function, and evaluate how these responses change with aging in physiologically relevant situations. In addition, the mounting genetic evidence that links oxidative stress to aging is discussed, as well as the potential challenges and benefits associated with the development of anti-aging interventions and therapies. 相似文献

The mitochondrial free radical theory of aging (MFRTA) proposes that aging is caused by damage to macromolecules by mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). This is based on the observed association of the rate of aging and the aged phenotype with the generation of ROS and oxidative damage. However, recent findings, in particular in Caenorhabditis elegans but also in rodents, suggest that ROS generation is not the primary or initial cause of aging. Here, we propose that ROS are tightly associated with aging because they play a role in mediating a stress response to age-dependent damage. This could generate the observed correlation between aging and ROS without implying that ROS damage is the earliest trigger or main cause of aging. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and insulin signaling in the adipose tissue are critical determinants of aging and age-associated diseases. It is not clear, however, if they represent independent factors or they are mechanistically linked. We investigated the effects of ROS on insulin signaling using as model system the p66(Shc)-null mice. p66(Shc) is a redox enzyme that generates mitochondrial ROS and promotes aging in mammals. We report that insulin activates the redox enzyme activity of p66(Shc) specifically in adipocytes and that p66(Shc)-generated ROS regulate insulin signaling through multiple mechanisms, including AKT phosphorylation, Foxo localization, and regulation of selected insulin target genes. Deletion of p66(Shc) resulted in increased mitochondrial uncoupling and reduced triglyceride accumulation in adipocytes and in vivo increased metabolic rate and decreased fat mass and resistance to diet-induced obesity. In addition, p66(Shc-/-) mice showed impaired thermo-insulation. These findings demonstrate that p66(Shc)-generated ROS regulate the effect of insulin on the energetic metabolism in mice and suggest that intracellular oxidative stress might accelerate aging by favoring fat deposition and fat-related disorders. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products of cellular metabolism, primarily in the mitochondria. When cellular production of ROS overwhelms its antioxidant capacity, damage to cellular macromolecules such as lipids, protein, and DNA may ensue. Such a state of "oxidative stress" is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of human diseases including those of the lung. Recent studies have also implicated ROS that are generated by specialized plasma membrane oxidases in normal physiological signaling by growth factors and cytokines. In this review, we examine the evidence for ligand-induced generation of ROS, its cellular sources, and the signaling pathways that are activated. Emerging concepts on the mechanisms of signal transduction by ROS that involve alterations in cellular redox state and oxidative modifications of proteins are also discussed. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are constantly produced and are tightly regulated to maintain a redox balance (or homeostasis) together with antioxidants (e.g. superoxide dismutase and glutathione) under normal physiological circumstances. These ROS/RNS have been shown to be critical for various biological events including signal transduction, aging, apoptosis, and development. Despite the known beneficial effects, an overproduction of ROS/RNS in the cases of receptor-mediated stimulation and disease-induced oxidative stress can inflict severe tissue damage. In particular, these ROS/RNS are capable of degrading macromolecules including proteins, lipids and nucleic acids as well as polysaccharides, and presumably lead to their dysfunction. The purpose of this review is to highlight (1) chemical mechanisms related to cell-free and cell-based depolymerization of polysaccharides initiated by individual oxidative species; (2) the effect of ROS/RNS-mediated depolymerization on the successive cleavage of the glycosidic linkage of polysaccharides by glycoside hydrolases; and (3) the potential biological outcome of ROS/RNS-mediated depolymerization of polysaccharides. 相似文献

F2-isoprostanes (IsoPs), lipid peroxidation products, are markers that quantitatively measure levels of oxidative stress. IsoP levels increase in tissues and serum of aging animals suggesting an increase in oxidative stress. This supports the Free Radical Theory of Aging, which proposes that elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause macromolecular damage, and is a factor in the age-associated decline in tissue function. Numerous studies have shown that the longevity of long-lived mutant mice correlates with their resistance to oxidative stress. However, although the Ames dwarf (DW) mice show resistance to oxidative stress, it has not been shown that these mice have inherently lower levels of ROS. Our results show that the serum and liver IsoP levels in DW mice are lower at all ages suggesting that the lower levels of endogenous ROS production in DW mice may be a factor in their resistance to oxidative stress and longevity. 相似文献

Targeted expression of the human uncoupling protein 2 (hUCP2) to adult neurons extends life span in the fly 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The oxidative stress hypothesis of aging predicts that a reduction in the generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) will decrease oxidative damage and extend life span. Increasing mitochondrial proton leak-dependent state 4 respiration by increasing mitochondrial uncoupling is an intervention postulated to decrease mitochondrial ROS production. When human UCP2 (hUCP2) is targeted to the mitochondria of adult fly neurons, we find an increase in state 4 respiration, a decrease in ROS production, a decrease in oxidative damage, heightened resistance to the free radical generator paraquat, and an extension in life span without compromising fertility or physical activity. Our results demonstrate that neuronal-specific expression of hUCP2 in adult flies decreases cellular oxidative damage and is sufficient to extend life span. 相似文献

This article discusses the molecular mechanism(s) that link oxidative stress (ROS) due to mitochondrial dysfunction to the activation of the ROS-sensitive signaling pathways whose levels of activity promote the development of senescence, aging, longevity, and resistance to oxidative stress. Most significantly, our discussion links ROS generated by mitochondrial dysfunction (ROS) to the activation of the ASK1-signalosome - p38 pathway. Our hypothesis argues that this is a major pathway that promotes physiological senescence, aging and age-associated diseases. We thus conclude that the ASK1-signalosome serves as an ROS-sensory system that regulates the levels of ROS-responsive p38 MAPK signals and serves as a signaling center that mediates the physiological consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction. 相似文献

The aging has been described by several theories. It was proposed that free radicals are the major factor involved in this process. This gave birth to the free radical theory of aging. This current theory provides the most popular explanation for how aging occurs at the biochemical/molecular level. Ever since 1956, this theory has received widespread attention and a large body of evidence has been accumulated in support of its hypotheses which were subsequently refined. The free radical theory of aging postulates that age-associated reductions in physiological functions are caused by an irreversible accumulation of oxidative alterations to macromolecules. This accumulation increases with age and is associated with the life expectancy of organisms. Moreover, this theory suggests the existence of an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing pathways and (ROS)-scavenging pathways, which is responsible for the generation of oxidative stress syndrome. In this article, we evaluate the antioxidant status in a population of healthy elderly Tunisians in comparison with a group of healthy young Tunisian subjects. This study sets out to investigate the age-related changes in glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, and in total antioxidant status (TAS) of human plasma. We have concluded that healthy aging is accompanied with a disturbed antioxidant status. 相似文献
