Background/Aims: Transient receptor potential cation channel 1 (TRPC1)-mediated the calcium (Ca2+) influx plays an important role in several brain disorders. However, the function of TRPC1 in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced neurological injury is unclear. Methods: Wild-type or TRPC1 knockout mice underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion for 90 min followed by 24 h of reperfusion. In an in vitro study, neuronal cells were treated with oxygen–glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) to mimic I/R. The intracellular Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i was measured by Fura 2-AM under a microscope. Cerebral infarct volume was measured by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Neurological function was examined by neurological severity score, Morris water maze test, rotarod test and string test. Oxidative parameters were detected by malondialdehyde, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase commercially available kits. The protein expression levels of TRPC1, Nox4, p22phox, p47phox, and p67phox were analyzed by western blotting. Results: Brain tissues from cerebral I/R mice showed decreased TRPC1 expression. Similarly, TRPC1 expression was reduced in HT22 cells upon exposure to OGD/R treatment, followed by decreased Ca2+ influx. However, TRPC1 overexpression reversed the OGD/R-induced decrease in [Ca2+]i. TRPC1 knockout significantly exacerbated I/R-induced brain infarction, edema, neurological severity score, memory impairment, neurological deficits, and oxidative stress. In contrast, TRPC1 upregulation inhibited the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation induced by OGD/R. Analysis of key subunits of the Nox family and mitochondrial ROS revealed that the effects of TRPC1 downregulation on oxidative stress were associated with activation of Nox4-containing NADPH oxidase. TRPC1 interacted with Nox4 and facilitated Nox4 protein degradation under OGD/R conditions. In addition, TRPC1 inhibition potentiated the OGD/R-induced translocation of p47phox and p67phox as well as the interaction between Nox4 and p47phox or p67phox, whereas TRPC1 overexpression had the opposite effects. Conclusion: TRPC1 deficiency potentiates ROS generation via Nox4-containing NADPH oxidase, which exacerbates cerebral I/R injury. TRPC1 may be a promising molecular target for the treatment of stroke.

A major role of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase family of enzymes is to catalyze the production of superoxides and other reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS, in turn, play a key role as messengers in cell signal transduction and cell cycling, but when they are produced in excess they can lead to oxidative stress (OS). Oxidative stress in the kidneys is now considered a major cause of renal injury and inflammation, giving rise to a variety of pathological disorders. In this review, we discuss the putative role of oxalate in producing oxidative stress via the production of reactive oxygen species by isoforms of NADPH oxidases expressed in different cellular locations of the kidneys. Most renal cells produce ROS, and recent data indicate a direct correlation between upregulated gene expressions of NADPH oxidase, ROS, and inflammation. Renal tissue expression of multiple NADPH oxidase isoforms most likely will impact the future use of different antioxidants and NADPH oxidase inhibitors to minimize OS and renal tissue injury in hyperoxaluria-induced kidney stone disease.

NADPH oxidase (Nox) family enzymes are one of the main sources of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been shown to function as second messenger molecules. To date, seven members of this family have been reported, including Nox1-5 and Duox1 and -2. With the exception of Nox2, the regulation of the Nox enzymes is still poorly understood. Nox1 is highly expressed in the colon, and it requires two cytosolic regulators, NoxO1 and NoxA1, as well as the binding of Rac1 GTPase, for its activity. In this study, we investigate the role of the tyrosine kinase c-Src in the regulation of ROS formation by Nox1. We show that c-Src induces Nox1-mediated ROS generation in the HT29 human colon carcinoma cell line through a Rac-dependent mechanism. Treatment of HT29 cells with the Src inhibitor PP2, expression of a kinase-inactive form of c-Src, and c-Src depletion by small interfering RNA (siRNA) reduce both ROS generation and the levels of active Rac1. This is associated with decreased Src-mediated phosphorylation and activation of the Rac1-guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav2. Consistent with this, Vav2 siRNA that specifically reduces endogenous Vav2 protein is able to dramatically decrease Nox1-dependent ROS generation and abolish c-Src-induced Nox1 activity. Together, these results establish c-Src as an important regulator of Nox1 activity, and they may provide insight into the mechanisms of tumor formation in colon cancers.

Oxidative stress (OS) has been considered a major contributory factor to the infertility. Oxidative stress is the result of imbalance between the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants in the body which can lead to sperm damage, deformity, and eventually male infertility. Although high concentrations of the ROS cause sperm pathology (ATP depletion) leading to insufficient axonemal phosphorylation, lipid peroxidation, and loss of motility and viability but, many evidences demonstrate that low and controlled concentrations of these ROS play an important role in sperm physiological processes such as capacitation, acrosome reaction, and signaling processes to ensure fertilization. The supplementation of a cryopreservation extender with antioxidant has been shown to provide a cryoprotective effect on mammalian sperm quality. This paper reviews the impacts of oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species on spermatozoa functions, causes of ROS generation, and antioxidative strategies to reduce OS. In addition, we also highlight the emerging concept of utilizing OS as a tool of contraception.

Magnesium (Mg) deficiency and oxidative stress are independently implicated in the etiopathogenesis of various cardiovascular disorders. This study was undertaken to examine the hypothesis that Mg deficiency augments the myocardial response to oxidative stress. Electrically stimulated rat papillary muscle was used for recording the contractile variation. Biochemical variables of energy metabolism (adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine phosphate) and markers of tissue injury (lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and lipidperoxidation), which can affect myocardial contractility, were assayed in Langendorff-perfused rat hearts. Hydrogen peroxide (100 µmol/L) was used as the source of reactive oxygen species. The negative inotropic response to H2O2 was significantly higher in Mg deficiency (0.48 mmol Mg/L) than in Mg sufficiency (1.2 mmol Mg/L). Low Mg levels did not affect ATP levels or tissue lipid peroxidation. However, H2O2 induced a decrease in ATP; enhanced lipid peroxidation and the release of LDH were augmented by Mg deficiency. Increased lipid peroxidation associated with a decrease in available energy might be responsible for the augmentation of the negative inotropic response to H2O2 in Mg deficiency. The observations from this study validate the hypothesis that myocardial response to oxidative stress is augmented by Mg deficiency. This observation has significance in ischemia–reperfusion injury, where Mg deficiency can have an additive effect on the debilitating consequences.

Hypolipidemic compound pirinixic acid (WY-14643, WY) is known to exert pleiotropic (other than primary) effects, such as activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR-α), transcription factors regulating different cardiac functions. Their role in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and cardioprotection is less clear, although protective effects of PPAR agonists have been documented. This study was designed to explore the effects of WY on the I/R injury in the rat heart and potential mechanisms involved, including mitochondrial KATP channels (mitoKATP) opening and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Langendorff-perfused hearts of rats intragastrally treated with WY (3 mg/kg/day) for 5 days and of control animals were subjected to 30-min global ischemia and 2-h reperfusion with or without 15-min perfusion with mitoKATP blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) prior to I/R. Evaluation of the infarct size (IS, TTC staining) served as the main end-point of protection. Lipid peroxidation (a marker of ROS production) was determined by measurement of myocardial concentration of conjugated dienes (CD), whereas protein expression of endothelial NO synthase was analysed by Western blotting. A 2-fold increase in the cardiac protein levels of eNOS after treatment with WY was accompanied by lower post-I/R levels of CD compared with those in the hearts of untreated controls, although WY itself enhanced ROS generation prior to ischemia. IS was reduced by 47 % in the hearts of WY-treated rats (P<0.05), and this effect was reversed by 5-HD. Results suggest that PPAR-α activation may confer protection against lethal I/R injury in the rat heart that involves up-regulation of eNOS, mitoKATP opening and reduced oxidative stress during I/R.

There is a growing body of evidence showing the importance of physical activity against acute ischemic events in various organs. Ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) is characterized by tissue damage as a result of restriction and subsequent restoration of blood supply to an organ. Oxidative stress due to increased reactive oxygen species formation and/or insufficient antioxidant defense is considered to play an important role in I/R. Physical activity not only decreases the general risk factors for ischemia but also confers direct anti-ischemic protection via myokine production. Myokines are skeletal muscle-derived cytokines, representing multifunctional communication channels between the contracting skeletal muscle and other organs through an endocrine manner. In this review, we discuss the most prominent members of the myokines (i.e., brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), cathepsin B, decorin, fibroblast growth factors-2 and -21, follistatin, follistatin-like, insulin-like growth factor-1; interleukin-6, interleukin-7, interleukin-15, irisin, leukemia inhibitory factor, meteorin-like, myonectin, musclin, myostatin, and osteoglycin) with a particular interest in their potential influence on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species formation or antioxidant capacity. A better understanding of the mechanism of action of myokines and particularly their participation in the regulation of oxidative stress may widen their possible therapeutic use and, thereby, may support the fight against I/R.

Defense System

The generation of oxygen radicals and their derivatives, known as reactive oxygen species, (ROS) is a part of the signaling process in higher plants at lower concentrations, but at higher concentrations, those ROS cause oxidative stress. Salinity-induced osmotic stress and ionic stress trigger the overproduction of ROS and, ultimately, result in oxidative damage to cell organelles and membrane components, and at severe levels, they cause cell and plant death. The antioxidant defense system protects the plant from salt-induced oxidative damage by detoxifying the ROS and also by maintaining the balance of ROS generation under salt stress. Different plant hormones and genes are also associated with the signaling and antioxidant defense system to protect plants when they are exposed to salt stress. Salt-induced ROS overgeneration is one of the major reasons for hampering the morpho-physiological and biochemical activities of plants which can be largely restored through enhancing the antioxidant defense system that detoxifies ROS. In this review, we discuss the salt-induced generation of ROS, oxidative stress and antioxidant defense of plants under salinity.

Both zinc (Zn2+) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to accumulate during hypoxic-ischemic stress and play important roles in pathological processes. To understand the cross talk between the two of them, here we studied Zn2+ and ROS accumulation by employing fluorescent probes in HeLa cells to further the understanding of the cause and effect relationship of these two important cellular signaling systems during chemical-ischemia, stimulated by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD). We observed two Zn2+ rises that were divided into four phases in the course of 30 min of OGD. The first Zn2+ rise was a transient, which was followed by a latent phase during which Zn2+ levels recovered; however, levels remained above a basal level in most cells. The final phase was the second Zn2+ rise, which reached a sustained plateau called Zn2+ overload. Zn2+ rises were not observed when Zn2+ was removed by TPEN (a Zn2+ chelator) or thapsigargin (depleting Zn2+ from intracellular stores) treatment, indicating that Zn2+ was from intracellular storage. Damaging mitochondria with FCCP significantly reduced the second Zn2+ rise, indicating that the mitochondrial Zn2+ accumulation contributes to Zn2+ overload. We also detected two OGD-induced ROS rises. Two Zn2+ rises preceded two ROS rises. Removal of Zn2+ reduced or delayed OGD- and FCCP-induced ROS generation, indicating that Zn2+ contributes to mitochondrial ROS generation. There was a Zn2+-induced increase in the functional component of NADPH oxidase, p47phox, thus suggesting that NADPH oxidase may mediate Zn2+-induced ROS accumulation. We suggest a new mechanism of cross talk between Zn2+ and mitochondrial ROS through positive feedback processes that eventually causes excessive free Zn2+ and ROS accumulations during the course of ischemic stress.

The Impact

AbstractOxidative stress, an alteration in the balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and antioxidant buffering capacity, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic disorders (CMD). At physiological levels, ROS functions as signalling mediators, regulates various physiological functions such as the growth, proliferation, and migration endothelial cells (EC) and smooth muscle cells (SMC); formation and development of new blood vessels; EC and SMC regulated death; vascular tone; host defence; and genomic stability. However, at excessive levels, it causes a deviation in the redox state, mediates the development of CMD. Multiple mechanisms account for the rise in the production of free radicals in the heart. These include mitochondrial dysfunction and uncoupling, increased fatty acid oxidation, exaggerated activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX), reduced antioxidant capacity, and cardiac metabolic memory. The purpose of this study is to discuss the link between oxidative stress and the aetiopathogenesis of CMD and highlight associated mechanisms. Oxidative stress plays a vital role in the development of obesity and dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance and diabetes, hypertension via various mechanisms associated with ROS-led inflammatory response and endothelial dysfunction.
