Catalytic Role

Mechanism and kinetic studies have been carried out to investigate whether one and two water molecules could play a possible catalytic role on the CH2O + ClO reaction. Density functional theory combined with the coupled cluster theory were employed to explore the potential energy surface and the thermodynamics of this radical-molecule reaction. The reaction proceeded through four different paths without water and eleven paths with water, producing H + HCO(O)Cl, Cl + HC(O)OH, HCOO + HCl, and HCO + HOCl. Results indicate that the formation of HCO + HOCl is predominant both in the water-free and water-involved cases. In the absence of water, all the reaction paths proceed through the formation of a transition state, while for some reactions in the presence of water, the products were directly formed via barrierless hydrogen transfer. The rate constant for the formation of HCO + HOCl without water is 2.6 × 10−16 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 298.15 K. This rate constant is decreased by 9−12 orders of magnitude in the presence of water. The current calculations hence demonstrate that the CH2O + ClO reaction is impeded by water.

Main Effects

This study puts particular emphasis on the role of copper ions in the performance of hydrogen peroxide bleaching (P-stage). Owing to their variable levels across the bleaching line due to washing filtrates, bleaching reagents, and equipment corrosion, these ions can play a major role in hydrogen peroxide decomposition and be detrimental to polysaccharide integrity. In this study, a Cu-contaminated D0(EOP)D1 prebleached pulp was subjected to an acidic washing (A-stage) or chelation (Q-stage) before the alkaline P-stage. The objective was to understand the isolated and combined role of copper ions in peroxide bleaching performance. By applying an experimental design, it was possible to identify the main effects of the pretreatment variables on the extent of metals removal and performance of the P-stage. The acid treatment was unsuccessful in terms of complete copper removal, magnesium preservation, and control of hydrogen peroxide consumption in the following P-stage. Increasing reaction temperature and time of the acidic A-stage improved the brightness stability of the D0(EOP)D1AP bleached pulp. The optimum conditions for chelation pretreatment to maximize the brightness gains obtained in the subsequent P-stage with the lowest peroxide consumption were 0.4% diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), 80ºC, and 4.5 pH.

The ESR spectra of peroxidase systems of methaemoglobin-ascorbic acid-hydrogen peroxide and methaemoglobin-haptoglobin complex-ascorbic acid-hydrogen peroxide have been measured in the acetate buffer of pH 4.5. For the system with methaemoglobin an asymmetrical signal with g ~ 2 has been observed which is interpreted as the perpendicular region of anisotropic spectrum of superoxide radical. On the other hand, for the system with methaemoglobin-haptoglobin complex the observed signal with g ~ 2 is symmetrical and is interpreted as a signal of delocalized electron. After realization of three repeatedly induced peroxidase processes the ESR signal of the perpendicular part of anisotropic spectrum of superoxide radical is distinctly diminished, whereas the signal of delocalized electron remains practically unchanged. An amino acid analysis of methaemoglobin along with results of the ESR measurements make it possible to derive a hypothesis about the role of haptoglobin in increasing of the peroxidase activity of methaemoglobin.

Abstract Background Pathological remodeling of the myocardium has long been known to involve oxidant signaling, but so far, strategies using systemic anti-oxidants have generally failed to prevent it. Aquaporins are a family of transmembrane water channels with thirteen isoforms currently known. Some isoforms have been implicated in oxidant signaling. AQP1 is the most abundant aquaporin in cardiovascular tissues but its specific role in cardiac remodeling remains unknown. Purpose We tested the role of AQP1 as a key regulator of oxidant-mediated cardiac remodeling amenable to targeted pharmacological therapy. Methods We used mice with genetic deletion of Aqp1 (and wild-type littermate), as well as primary isolates from the same mice and human iPSC/Engineered Heart Tissue to test the role of AQP1 in pro-hypertrophic signaling. Human cardiac myocyte-specific (PCM1+) expression of AQP's and genes involved in hypertrophic remodeling was studied by RNAseq and bioinformatic GO pathway analysis. Results RNA sequencing from human cardiac myocytes revealed that the archetypal AQP1 is a major isoform. AQP1 expression correlates with the severity of hypertrophic remodeling in patients with aortic stenosis. The AQP1 channel was detected at the plasma membrane of human and mouse cardiac myocytes from hypertrophic hearts, where it colocalizes with the NADPH oxidase-2 (NOX2) and caveolin-3. We show that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), produced extracellularly, is necessary for the hypertrophic response of isolated cardiac myocytes and that AQP1 facilitates the transmembrane transport of H2O2 through its water pore, resulting in activation of oxidant-sensitive kinases in cardiac myocytes. Structural analysis of the amino acid residues lining the water pore of AQP1 supports its permeation by H2O2. Deletion of Aqp1 or selective blockade of AQP1 intra-subunit pore (with Bacopaside II) inhibits H2O2 transport in mouse and human cells and rescues the myocyte hypertrophy in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived engineered heart muscle. This protective effect is due to loss of transmembrane transport of H2O2, but not water, through the intra-subunit pore of AQP1. Treatment of mice with clinically-approved Bacopaside extract (CDRI08) inhibitor of AQP1 attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Conclusion We provide the first demonstration that AQP1 functions as an aqua-peroxiporin in primary rodent and human cardiac parenchymal cells. We show that cardiac hypertrophy is mediated by the transmembrane transport of H2O2 through the AQP1 water channel. Our studies open the way to complement the therapeutic armamentarium with specific blockers of AQP1 for the prevention of adverse remodeling in many cardiovascular diseases leading to heart failure.
