Activation of ROS producing cytosolic NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) in diabetes precedes retinal mitochondrial damage, initiating a vicious cycle of free radicals. Elevated ROS levels peroxidize membrane lipids increasing damaging lipid peroxides (LPOs). While glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) neutralizes LPOs, an imbalance in its generation-neutralization leads to ferroptosis, which is characterized by increased LPOs, free iron and decreased GPx4 activity. Mitochondria are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and iron and have mitochondrial isoform of GPx4. Our aim was to investigate mitochondrial ferroptosis in diabetic retinopathy, focusing on Nox2 mediated ROS production. Using human retinal endothelial cells, incubated in 5 mM or 20 mM D-glucose for 12–96 h, with or without Nox2 inhibitors (100 μM apocynin, 5 μM EHop-016 or 5 μM Gp91 ds-tat), or ferroptosis inhibitors (1 μM ferrostatin-1, 50 μM deferoxamine) or activator (0.1 μM RSL3), cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS, LPOs, iron, GPx4 activity, mitochondrial integrity (membrane permeability, oxygen consumption rate, mtDNA copy numbers) and cell death were quantified. High glucose significantly increased ROS, LPOs and iron levels and inhibited GPx4 activity in cytosol, and while Nox2 and ferroptosis inhibitors prevented glucose-induced increase in ferroptosis markers, mitochondrial damage and cell death, RSL3, further worsened them. Furthermore, high glucose also increased ferroptosis markers in the mitochondria, which followed their increase in the cytosol, suggesting a role of cytosolic ROS in mitochondrial ferroptosis. Thus, targeting Nox2-ferroptosis should help break down the self-perpetuating vicious cycle of free radicals, initiated by the damaged mitochondria, and could provide novel therapeutics to prevent/retard the development of diabetic retinopathy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12407,"journal":{"name":"Free Radical Biology and Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142461741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main (poly)phenols in the purée were gallotannins (356 μmol) and two hydroxy-methoxy-cinnamoyl glucose esters (43 μmol) together with the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine (22 μmol) and tyrosine (209 μmol). Analysis of ileal fluid revealed almost all the ingested gallotannins appeared to have broken down in the upper GI tract with the released benzoic acids being rapidly absorbed into the circulatory system prior to urinary excretion mainly as phase-2 metabolites. Likewise, the glucose moiety of the cinnamic acid conjugates was cleaved and the released cinnamic acids absorbed efficiently from the proximal GI tract and subjected to phase II metabolism prior to excretion. Among the main phenolics excreted after mango intake were phenylacetic and benzoic acids and hydroxybenzene catabolites which were present in lower, but none-the-less, substantial amounts, in the urine of ileostomists. This indicates that a portion of these phenolics, including the hydroxybenzene derivatives, originate from substrates absorbed in the upper GI tract and are principally products of endogenous metabolism rather than being derived from colonic microbiota-mediated catabolism. 1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene (aka pyrogallol) was the dominant urinary catabolite in both groups. Hippuric acid excretion exceeded (poly)phenol intake indicating a significant contribution from phenylalanine and tyrosine.

Adult male mice were orally exposed to 1-NP (0, 100, and 500 μg/kg) daily for 14 days. Serum and testicular T contents were diminished in 1-NP-administered mice. Mitochondria-located steroidogenic synthases, including StAR, CYP11A1, and 3βHSD1, were downregulated in 1-NP-administered mouse testes and MLTC-1 cells.

Further experiments demonstrated that 1-NP exposure caused mitochondrial malfunction and premature senescence in mouse testes and MLTC-1 cells. Supplementation with mitochondria-directed antioxidant mitoquinone (MitoQ) prevented 1-NP-evoked Leydig cell premature senescence and downregulation of testicular steroidogenic synthases.

To investigate this for the two cytoplasmic peroxiredoxins, Prdx1 and Prdx2, we have compared the thiol proteome of wildtype Jurkat cells with cells in which either one was knocked out. Using mass spectrometry and isotope tagging, approximately 10,000 common CysSH-containing peptides were detected for each WT/KO comparison. Knockout of Prdx1 or Prdx2 resulted in a change in redox state of a small selection of Cys residues, with less than 100 giving more than a 2-fold difference. Strikingly, a large proportion of these, including those that showed the greatest change, were common to both KOs. Some Cys residues showed more oxidation in the knockouts, whereas others showed less. The candidate proteins have diverse functions and have not been known to be oxidant sensitive. No differences were seen in redox state of Cys residues of other Prdxs and oxidant sensitive proteins. A change in expression in Prdx2 knockout cells was indicated for seven cytoskeletal or regulatory thiol proteins, three of which were tested and validated by western blotting. Little firm evidence was found for thiol redox changes dependent on either Prdx that could be attributed to oxidation via a relay mechanism.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12407,"journal":{"name":"Free Radical Biology and Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142461733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These therapeutic effects of PTS on AD mice were associated with the activation of the antioxidant molecule Nrf2. In vitro experiments revealed that PTS could decrease ROS level and regulate cytokine expression (such as IL-6, IL-10, IL-13 and CCL17) in TNF-α/IFN-γ-stimulated keratinocytes and LPS-stimulated M1 macrophages. Additionally, PTS could upregulate the expression of antioxidant stress molecules such as Nrf2, HO-1, NQO1 and PPAR-γ in both cell types.
