Deficiency of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is associated with a number of neurometabolic conditions including mitochondrial electron transport chain defects. Whilst failure of the active transport of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) into the CSF compartment has been proposed as a potential mechanism responsible for the 5-MTHF deficiency seen in mitochondrial disorders, it is becoming increasingly clear that other mechanisms are involved. Here, we have considered the role of oxidative stress as a contributing mechanism. Concerning, ascorbic acid (AA), we have established a CSF reference range (103–303 μM) and demonstrated a significant positive correlation between 5-MTHF and AA. Furthermore, CSF itself was also shown to convey antioxidant properties towards 5-MTHF. However, this protection could be overcome by the introduction of a hydroxyl radical generating system. Using a neuronal model system, inhibition of mitochondrial complex I, by 58%, was associated with a 23% increase in superoxide generation and a significantly increased loss of 5-MTHF from the extracellular medium. Addition of AA (150 μM) was able to prevent this increased 5-MTHF catabolism. We conclude that increased generation of reactive oxygen species and/or loss of CSF antioxidants are also factors to consider with regard to the development of a central 5-MTHF deficiency. Co-supplementation of AA together with appropriate folate replacement may be of therapeutic benefit. 相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus is a gram positive bacterium, responsible for both community-acquired and hospital-acquired infection,
resulting in a mortality rate of 39%. 43.2% resistance to methicilin and emerging resistance to Fluroquinolone and Oxazolidinone,
have evoked the necessity of the establishment of alternative and effective therapeutic approach to treat this bacteria. In this
computational study, various database and online software are used to determine some specific targets of Staphylococcus aureus
N315 other than those used by Penicillin, Quinolone and Oxazolidinone. For this purpose, among 302 essential proteins, 101 nonhomologous
proteins were accrued and 64 proteins which are unique in several metabolic pathways of S. aureus were isolated by
using metabolic pathway analysis tools. Furthermore, 7 essentially unique enzymes involved in exclusive metabolic pathways were
revealed by this research, which can be potential drug target. Along with these important enzymes, 15 non-homologous proteins
located on membrane were identified, which can play a vital role as potential therapeutic targets for the future researchers. 相似文献

Mutations in the nuclear gene POLG (encoding the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase gamma) are an important cause of mitochondrial disease. The most common POLG mutation, A467T, appears to exhibit considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. The mechanism by which this single genetic defect results in such clinical diversity remains unclear. In this study we evaluate the clinical, neuropathological and mitochondrial genetic features of four unrelated patients with homozygous A467T mutations. One patient presented with the severe and lethal Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome, which was confirmed on neuropathology, and was found to have a depletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Of the remaining three patients, one presented with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), one with a phenotype in the Myoclonic Epilepsy, Myopathy and Sensory Ataxia (MEMSA) spectrum and one with Sensory Ataxic Neuropathy, Dysarthria and Ophthalmoplegia (SANDO). All three had secondary accumulation of multiple mtDNA deletions. Complete sequence analysis of muscle mtDNA using the MitoChip resequencing chip in all four cases demonstrated significant variation in mtDNA, including a pathogenic MT-ND5 mutation in one patient. These data highlight the variable and overlapping clinical and neuropathological phenotypes and downstream molecular defects caused by the A467T mutation, which may result from factors such as the mtDNA genetic background, nuclear genetic modifiers and environmental stressors. 相似文献

Among the major constituents of Leea rubra (Family Vitaceae) leaves, phenolic and flavonoind compounds are most important for therapeutic purposes and the plant parts have been used in traditional medicine to treat several diseases for long. Thus, in order to scientifically confirm the traditional uses of the L. rubra leaves, the present study was designed to investigate the efficacy of the isolated flavones against AAPH induced oxidative damage to pUC19 DNA by gel electrophoresis and antineoplastic activity was evaluated on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) bearing Swiss albino mice by evaluating percentage inhibition of cell growth, morphological changes of EAC cells and hematological parameters of the mice. The isolation was carried out by column chromatography and structure was revealed by 1H-NMR and 13C NMR. The result shows that, the isolated compound was identified as myricetin 4'-methoxy-3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranoside based on previously reported data. The isolated flavone effectively inhibited AAPH-induced oxidative damage to DNA; because it could inhibit the formation of circular and linear forms of the DNA. In anti-proliferative assay, 76% growth inhibition of EAC cells was observed as compare to the control mice (p<0.05) at a dose 100 mg/kg body weight. Thus the isolated flavone showed great importance as a possible therapeutic agent in preventing oxidative damage to DNA and the chronic diseases caused by such DNA damage, and can also become important in cancer chemotherapy. 相似文献

The effect of D-galactosamine (D-GalN) on nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells was examined. D-GalN augmented the production of NO, but not tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Pretreatment of D-GalN augmented the NO production whereas its post-treatment did not. D-GalN augmented the NO production in RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with either TNF-alpha and interferon-gamma. The augmentation of LPS-induced NO production by D-GalN was due to enhanced expressions of an inducible type of NO synthase mRNA and proteins. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were exclusively generated in RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with D-GalN and LPS. Scavenging of intracellular ROS abrogated the augmentation of NO production. It was therefore suggested that D-GalN might augment LPS-induced NO production through the generation of intracellular ROS. 相似文献

Identifying the sulfenylation state of stressed cells is emerging as a strategic approach for the detection of key reactive oxygen species signaling proteins. Here, we optimized an in vivo trapping method for cysteine sulfenic acids in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stressed plant cells using a dimedone based DYn-2 probe. We demonstrated that DYn-2 specifically detects sulfenylation events in an H2O2 dose- and time-dependent way. With mass spectrometry, we identified 226 sulfenylated proteins after H2O2 treatment of Arabidopsis cells, residing in the cytoplasm (123); plastid (68); mitochondria (14); nucleus (10); endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi and plasma membrane (7) and peroxisomes (4). Of these, 123 sulfenylated proteins have never been reported before to undergo cysteine oxidative post-translational modifications in plants. All in all, with this DYn-2 approach, we have identified new sulfenylated proteins, and gave a first glance on the locations of the sulfenomes of Arabidopsis thaliana.Among the different amino acids, the sulfur containing amino acids like cysteine are particularly susceptible to oxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS)1 (1, 2). Recent studies suggest that the sulfenome, the initial oxidation products of cysteine residues, functions as an intermediate state of redox signaling (3
–5). Thus, identifying the sulfenome under oxidative stress is a way to detect potential redox sensors (6, 7).This central role of the sulfenome in redox signaling provoked chemical biologists to develop strategies for sensitive detection and identification of sulfenylated proteins. The in situ trapping of the sulfenome is challenging because of two major factors: (1) the highly reactive, transient nature of sulfenic acids, which might be over-oxidized in excess of ROS, unless immediately protected by disulfide formation (7); (2) the intracellular compartmentalization of the redox state that might be disrupted during extraction procedures, resulting in artificial non-native protein oxidations (8, 9). Having a sulfur oxidation state of zero, sulfenic acids can react as both electrophile and nucleophile, however, direct detection methods are based on the electrophilic character of sulfenic acid (10). In 1974, Allison and coworkers reported a condensation reaction between the electrophilic sulfenic acid and the nucleophile dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione), producing a corresponding thioether derivative (11). This chemistry is highly selective and, since then, has been exploited to detect dimedone modified sulfenic acids using mass spectrometry (12). However, dimedone has limited applications for cellular sulfenome identification because of the lack of a functional group to enrich the dimedone tagged sulfenic acids. Later, dimedone-biotin/fluorophores conjugates have been developed, which allowed sensitive detection and enrichment of sulfenic acid modified proteins (13
–15). This approach, however, was not always compatible with in vivo cellular sulfenome analysis, because the biotin/fluorophores-conjugated dimedone is membrane impermeable (9) and endogenous biotinylated proteins might appear as false positives.More recently, the Carroll lab has developed DYn-2, a sulfenic acid specific chemical probe. This chemical probe consists of two functional units: a dimedone scaffold for sulfenic acid recognition and an alkyne chemical handle for enrichment of labeled proteins (9). Once the sulfenic acids are tagged with the DYn-2 probe, they can be biotinylated through click chemistry (16). The click reaction used here is a copper (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (17), also known as azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition (16). With this chemistry, a complex is formed between the alkyne functionalized DYn-2 and the azide functionalized biotin. This biotin functional group facilitates downstream detection, enrichment, and mass spectrometry based identification (Fig. 1). In an evaluation experiment, DYn-2 was found to efficiently detect H2O2-dependent sulfenic acid modifications in recombinant glutathione peroxidase 3 (Gpx3) of budding yeast (18). Moreover, it was reported that DYn-2 is membrane permeable, non-toxic, and a non-influencer of the intracellular redox balance (17, 18). Therefore, DYn-2 has been suggested as a global sulfenome reader in living cells (17, 18), and has been applied to investigate epidermal growth factor (EGF) mediated protein sulfenylation in a human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cell line and to identify intracellular protein targets of H2O2 during cell signaling (17).Open in a separate windowFig. 1.Schematic views of the molecular mechanism of the DYn-2 probe and the strategy to identify DYn-2 trapped sulfenylated proteins.
A, DYn-2 specifically detects sulfenic acid modifications, but no other thiol modifications. B, Biotinylation of the DYn-2 tagged proteins by click reaction. C, Once DYn-2 tagged proteins are biotinylated, a streptavidin-HRP (Strep-HRP) blot visualizes sulfenylation, or alternatively, after enrichment on avidin beads, proteins are identified by mass spectrometry analysis.Here, we selected the DYn-2 probe to identify the sulfenome in plant cells under oxidative stress. Through a combination of biochemical, immunoblot and mass spectrometry techniques, and TAIR10 database and SUBA3-software predictions, we can claim that DYn-2 is able to detect sulfenic acids on proteins located in different subcellular compartments of plant cells. We identified 226 sulfenylated proteins in response to an H2O2 treatment of Arabidopsis cell suspensions, of which 123 proteins are new candidates for cysteine oxidative post-translational modification (PTM) events. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent bone resorbing factor. The effect of LPS on osteoclast formation was examined by using murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. LPS-induced the formation of multinucleated giant cells (MGC) in RAW 264.7 cells 3 days after the exposure. MGCs were positive for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity. Further, MGC formed resorption pits on calcium-phosphate thin film that is a substrate for osteoclasts. Therefore, LPS was suggested to induce osteoclast formation in RAW 264.7 cells. LPS-induced osteoclast formation was abolished by anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha antibody, but not antibodies to macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB ligand (RANKL). TNF-alpha might play a critical role in LPS-induced osteoclast formation in RAW 264.7 cells. Inhibitors of NF-kappaB and stress activated protein kinase (SAPK/JNK) prevented the LPS-induced osteoclast formation. The detailed mechanism of LPS-induced osteoclast formation is discussed. 相似文献
