Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

Evidence is rapidly accumulating that low-activity-reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases homologous to that in phagocytic cells generate reactive oxygen species as signaling intermediates in both endothelium and vascular smooth muscle. We therefore explored the possibility of such an oxidase regulating growth of airway smooth muscle (AWSM). Proliferation of human AWSM cells in culture was inhibited by the antioxidants catalase and N-acetylcysteine, and by the flavoprotein inhibitor diphenylene iodonium (DPI). Membranes prepared from human AWSM cells generated superoxide anion (O[Formula: see text]) measured by superoxide dismutase-inhibitable lucigenin chemiluminescence, with a distinct preference for NADPH instead of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as substrate. Chemiluminescence was also inhibited by DPI, suggesting the presence of a flavoprotein containing oxidase generating O[Formula: see text] as a signaling molecule for cell growth. Examination of human AWSM cells by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction consistently demonstrated transcripts with sequences identical to those reported for p22phox. Transfection with p22phoxantisense oligonucleotides reduced human AWSM proliferation. Inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity with DPI prevented serum-induced activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and overexpression of a superrepressor form of the NF-κB inhibitor IκBα significantly reduced human AWSM growth. These findings suggest that an NADPH oxidase containing p22phoxregulates growth-factor responsive human AWSM proliferation, and that the oxidase signals in part through activation of the prototypical redox-regulated transcription factor NF-κB.

Optimal microbicidal activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) requires recruitment of a functional nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase to the phagosome. In this study, we used a synchronized phagocytosis assay and immunofluorescence microscopy (IFM) to examine the association of cytosolic NADPH oxidase subunits with phagosomes containing opsonized zymosan (OpZ). Ingestion of OpZ began within 30 seconds of particle binding and forming phagosomes were enriched for both F-actin and the actin-binding protein p57. NADPH oxidase subunits p47phox and p67phox were also recruited to forming phagosomes and were retained on mature phagosomes for at least 15 minutes. Colocalization of F-actin, p57, and p47phox on phagosomes was confirmed by immunoblotting. Translocation of p67phox, but not p57, to forming phagosomes was deficient in PMNs lacking p47phox. Surprisingly, we found that in PMNs from six individuals with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), p47phox and p67phox accumulated in the periphagosomal area during ingestion of OpZ. However, in marked contrast to normal PMNs, p47phox and p67phox were shed from nascent phagosomes along with F-actin and p57 once OpZ was internalized (≈5 minutes). These data support a model in which flavocytochrome b is required for stable membrane binding of p47phox and p67phox, but not their association with the cytoskeleton or transport to the cell periphery.
