Mitochondria play a central role in apoptosis triggered by many stimuli. They integrate death signals through Bcl-2 family members and co-ordinate caspase activation through the release of apoptogenic factors that are normally sequestered in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. The release of these proteins is the result of the outer mitochondrial membrane becoming permeable. In addition, mitochondria can initiate apoptosis through the production of reactive oxygen species.

ABSTRACTAs the protozoan parasiteToxoplasma gondiidisseminates through its host, it responds to environmental changes by altering its gene expression, metabolism, and other processes. Oxygen is one variable environmental factor, and properly adapting to changes in oxygen levels is critical to prevent the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and other cytotoxic factors. Thus, oxygen-sensing proteins are important, and among these, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent prolyl hydroxylases are highly conserved throughout evolution.Toxoplasmaexpresses two such enzymes, TgPHYa, which regulates the SCF-ubiquitin ligase complex, and TgPHYb. To characterize TgPHYb, we created aToxoplasmastrain that conditionally expresses TgPHYb and report that TgPHYb is required for optimal parasite growth under normal growth conditions. However, exposing TgPHYb-depleted parasites to extracellular stress leads to severe decreases in parasite invasion, which is likely due to decreased abundance of parasite adhesins. Adhesin protein abundance is reduced in TgPHYb-depleted parasites as a result of inactivation of the protein synthesis elongation factor eEF2 that is accompanied by decreased rates of translational elongation. In contrast to most other oxygen-sensing proteins that mediate cellular responses to low O2, TgPHYb is specifically required for parasite growth and protein synthesis at high, but not low, O2tensions as well as resistance to reactive oxygen species.In vivo, reduced TgPHYb expression leads to lower parasite burdens in oxygen-rich tissues. Taken together, these data identify TgPHYb as a sensor of high O2levels, in contrast to TgPHYa, which supports the parasite at low O2.IMPORTANCEBecause oxygen plays a key role in the growth of many organisms, cells must know how much oxygen is available. O2-sensing proteins are therefore critical cellular factors, and prolyl hydroxylases are the best-studied type of O2-sensing proteins. In general, prolyl hydroxylases trigger cellular responses to decreased oxygen availability. But, how does a cell react to high levels of oxygen? Using the protozoan parasiteToxoplasma gondii, we discovered a prolyl hydroxylase that allows the parasite to grow at elevated oxygen levels and does so by regulating protein synthesis. Loss of this enzyme also reduces parasite burden in oxygen-rich tissues, indicating that sensing both high and low levels of oxygen impacts the growth and physiology ofToxoplasma.

ABSTRACT Efficient elimination of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) correlates with increased cellular survival and organism life span. Detoxification of mitochondrial ROS is regulated by induction of the nuclear SOD2 gene, which encodes the manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). However, the mechanisms by which mitochondrial oxidative stress activates cellular signaling pathways leading to induction of nuclear genes are not known. Here we demonstrate that release of mROS activates a signal relay pathway in which the serine/threonine protein kinase D (PKD) activates the NF-κB transcription factor, leading to induction of SOD2. Conversely, the FOXO3a transcription factor is dispensable for mROS-induced SOD2 induction. PKD-mediated MnSOD expression promotes increased survival of cells upon release of mROS, suggesting that mitochondrion-to-nucleus signaling is necessary for efficient detoxification mechanisms and cellular viability.

Exercise-induced oxidative stress is important for the muscular adaptation to training but may also cause muscle damage. We hypothesized that prolonged exercise would increase mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) measured in vitro and that this correlates with oxidative damage. Eight male athletes (24–32 yr) performed ultraendurance exercise (kayaking/running/cycling) with an average work intensity of 55% V̇o2peak for 24 h. Muscle biopsies were taken from vastus lateralis before exercise, immediately after exercise, and after 28 h of recovery. The production of H2O2 was measured fluorometrically in isolated mitochondria with the Amplex red and peroxidase system. Succinate-supported mitochondrial H2O2 production was significantly increased after exercise (73% higher, P = 0.025) but restored to the initial level at recovery. Plasma level of free fatty acids (FFA) increased fourfold and exceeded 1.2 mmol/l during the last 6 h of exercise. Plasma FFA at the end of exercise was significantly correlated to mitochondrial ROS production ( r = 0.74, P < 0.05). Mitochondrial content of 4-hydroxy-nonenal-adducts (a marker of oxidative damage) was increased only after recovery and was not correlated with mitochondrial ROS production. Total thiol group level and glutathione peroxidase activity were elevated after recovery. In conclusion, ultraendurance exercise increases ROS production in isolated mitochondria, but this is reversed after 28 h recovery. Mitochondrial ROS production was not correlated with oxidative damage of mitochondrial proteins, which was increased at recovery but not immediately after exercise.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation by GPCRs regulates many important biological processes. ADAM metalloprotease activity has been implicated as a key step in transactivation, yet the regulatory mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we investigate the regulation of transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) shedding by reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the ATP-dependent activation of the P2Y family of GPCRs. We report that ATP stimulates TGF-α proteolysis with concomitant EGFR activation and that this process requires TACE/ADAM17 activity in both murine fibroblasts and CHO cells. ATP-induced TGF-α shedding required calcium and was independent of Src family kinases and PKC and MAPK signaling. Moreover, ATP-induced TGF-α shedding was completely inhibited by scavengers of ROS, whereas calcium-stimulated shedding was partially inhibited by ROS scavenging. Hydrogen peroxide restored TGF-α shedding after calcium chelation. Importantly, we also found that ATP-induced shedding was independent of the cytoplasmic NADPH oxidase complex. Instead, mitochondrial ROS production increased in response to ATP and mitochondrial oxidative complex activity was required to activate TACE-dependent shedding. These results reveal an essential role for mitochondrial ROS in regulating GPCR-induced growth factor shedding.

Hypertonicity activates the transcription factor tonicity-responsive enhancer/osmotic response element binding protein (TonEBP/OREBP), resulting in increased expression of genes involved in osmoprotective accumulation of organic osmolytes, including glycine betaine, and in increased expression of osmoprotective heat shock proteins. Our previous studies showed that high NaCl increases reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to activation of TonEBP/OREBP. Mitochondria are a major source of ROS. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether mitochondria produce the ROS that contribute to activation of TonEBP/OREBP. We inhibited mitochondrial ROS production in HEK293 cells with rotenone and myxothiazol, which inhibit mitochondrial complexes I and III, respectively. Rotenone (250 nM) and myxothiazol (12 nM) reduce high NaCl-induced ROS over 40%, whereas apocynin (100 μM), an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, and allopurinol (100 μM), an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, have no significant effect. Rotenone and myxothiazol reduce high NaCl-induced increases in TonEBP/OREBP transcriptional activity (ORE/TonE reporter assay) and BGT1 (betaine transporter) mRNA abundance ranging from 53 to 69%. They inhibit high NaCl-induced TonEBP/OREBP transactivating activity, but not its nuclear translocation. Release of ATP into the medium on hypertonic stress has been proposed to be a signal that triggers cellular osmotic responses. However, we do not detect release of ATP into the medium or inhibition of high NaCl-induced ORE/TonE reporter activity by an ATPase, apyrase (20 U/ml), indicating that high NaCl-induced activation of TonEBP/OREBP is not mediated by release of ATP. We conclude that high NaCl increases mitochondrial ROS production, which contributes to the activation of TonEBP/OREBP by increasing its transactivating activity.
