Abstract Key message Defence responses of cyst nematode and/or wheat curl mite infested barley engage the altered reactive oxygen species production, antioxidant machinery, carbon dioxide assimilation and photosynthesis efficiency. Abstract The primary aim of this study was to determine how barley responds to two pests infesting separately or at once; thus barley was inoculated with Heterodera filipjevi (Madzhidov) Stelter (cereal cyst nematode; CCN) and Aceria tosichella Keifer (wheat curl mite; WCM). To verify hypothesis about the involvement of redox metabolism and photosynthesis in barley defence responses, biochemical, photosynthesis efficiency and chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements as well as transmission electron microscopy were implemented. Inoculation with WCM (apart from or with CCN) brought about a significant suppression in the efficiency of electron transport outside photosystem II reaction centres. This limitation was an effect of diminished pool of rapidly reducing plastoquinone and decreased total electron carriers. Infestation with WCM (apart from or with CCN) also significantly restricted the electron transport on the photosystem I acceptor side, therefore produced reactive oxygen species oxidized lipids in cells of WCM and double infested plants and proteins in cells of WCM-infested plants. The level of hydrogen peroxide was significantly decreased in double infested plants because of glutathione–ascorbate cycle involvement. The inhibition of nitrosoglutathione reductase promoted the accumulation of S-nitrosoglutathione increasing antioxidant capacity in cells of double infested plants. Moreover, enhanced arginase activity in WCM-infested plants could stimulate synthesis of polyamines participating in plant antioxidant response. Infestation with WCM (apart from or with CCN) significantly reduced the efficiency of carbon dioxide assimilation by barley leaves, whereas infection only with CCN expanded photosynthesis efficiency. These were accompanied with the ultrastructural changes in chloroplasts during CCN and WCM infestation.

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a cytokine produced primarily in the kidney that is essential for red blood cell production. Apart from playing a role in hematopoiesis, EPO also has a protective role in heart myocytes, ovarian, glial cells brain and retinal diseases. In this study we observed that recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) reduces Hypoxia/ Reperfusion (H/R) injury by virtue of its effect on EPO receptor prosurvival signaling pathway, which ultimately leads to reduced expression of apoptotic proteins and increased survival of cardiomyocytes. H9C2 cells were exposed to H/R with or without pretreatment using 10, 15 and 20 U/ml of rhEPO. We determined viability using MTT, nuclear fragmentation by Hoechst staining, apoptotic nuclei by Acridine orange and Ethidium bromide, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) by Dicholorofluoresin Diacetate and activity of late apoptotic protease, Caspase-3 by colorimetric Caspase-3 assay. The expression of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) by RT-PCR and Western blot, phospho-Akt and p38 MAPK by Confocal microscopy were analyzed. Cell viability is increased in cells pretreated with rhEPO compared to cell exposed to H/R. Cells subjected to H/R showed early apoptotic and late apoptotic cells but showed normal nuclei with intact cell membrane in cells pretreated with rhEPO. Intracellular production of ROS and Caspase-3 activity was decreased in cells pretreated with rhEPO compared to cells exposed to H/R. The expression of MnSOD RNA and protein was up-regulated in response to rhEPO, but not in H/R. The phosphorylative activation of Akt, p38MAPK progressively diminished during H/R but increased in rhEPO pretreated cells. We show that rhEPO prevents apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, subjected to H/R injury via phosphorylation of Akt and p38MAPK. These results it is hoped would help us distinguish the cell signaling pathways involved in cardioprotection and thus would open new avenues in cardiovascular therapy.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) from patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) have generated higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that were higher than those in cells from healthy individuals. In the presence of a cAMP-elevating agent, ROS production was significantly activated in PBMNC from DM2 patients but it was inhibited in cells from healthy subjects. Higher levels of IL-6 has been detected in the supernatant of PBMNC cultures from DM2 patients in comparison with healthy controls. When cells were cultured in the presence of a cAMP-elevating agent, the level of IL-6 decreased has by 46% in the supernatant of PBMNC from DM2 patients but it remained unaltered in controls. No correlations between ROS and IL-6 levels in PBMNC from DM2 patients or controls have been observed. Secretions of IL-4 or IFN by PBMNC from patients or controls have not been affected by the elevation of cAMP. cAMP elevating agents have activated the production of harmful reactive oxidant down modulated IL-6 secretion by these cells from DM2 patients, suggesting an alteration in the metabolic response possibly due to hyperglicemia. The results suggest that cAMP may play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes.

Oxidative stress causes biological changes responsible for carcinogenesis and aging in human cells. The retinal pigmented epithelium is continuously exposed to oxidative stress. Therefore reactive oxygen species (ROS) and products of lipid peroxidation accumulate in RPE. Neutralization of ROS occurs in retina by the action of antioxidant defence systems. In the present study, the protective effect of caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxy cinnamic acid), a dietary phenolic compound, has been examined in normal and in oxidative stress conditions (500 µM peroxide oxygen) in cultures human epithelial pigment retinal cells (Nowak, M. et al.). The cell viability, the antioxidant enzymes activity (CAT, GPx, SOD) and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined. Exposure to l00 µM caffeic acid for 24 h induced cellular changes indicating the protective effect of caffeic acid in RPE cells. Caffeic acid did not show any cytotoxic effect at concentrations lower than 200 μM in culture medium. Treatment of RPE cells with caffeic acid causes an increase of catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activity, especially in cells treated with hydrogen peroxide. Caffeic acid causes a decrease of ROS level in cells treated with hydrogen peroxide. This study proved that caffeic acid or food that contain high levels of this phenolic acid may have beneficial effects in prevention of retinal diseases associated with oxidative stress by improving antioxidant defence systems.

42 We tested the hypothesis that augmented Ang II-induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) growth in human hypertension is mediated via Src-dependent pathways that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). VSMCs from arteries of normotensive and hypertensive subjects were studied. Production of ROS was measured by fluorescence digital imaging using dichlorofluorescin diacetate (6 μM). The roles of Src and NADH/NADPH oxidase were assessed with the specific inhibitors, PP2 (10 μM) and diphenylene iodinium (DPI) (10 μM) respectively. c-Src phosphorylation was determined by western blot and kinase activity was assessed by measuring enolase phosphorylation. Ang II increased DCFDA fluorescence. This effect was inhibited by catalase, indicating that the signal was derived predominantly from H 2 O 2 . Ang II increased H 2 O 2 production within 40 minutes. Responses were greater (p<0.05) in cells from hypertensive patients (E max =82±nM) than normotensive subjects (E max = 67±nM). DPI and PP2, but not PP3 (inactive analogue) attenuated (p<0.05) Ang II-induced H 2 O 2 production. PP2 effects were greater in cells from hypertensive patients (delta H 2 O 2 , 28±5nM) vs controls (delta H 2 O 2 , 16±2nM). Ang II increased c-Src phosphorylation and activity, with responses 3-4 fold higher in hypertensives. DPI and PP2 (p<0.01) attenuated Ang II-induced DNA and protein synthesis, as measured by 3 H-thymidine and 3 H-leucine incorporation respectively. Growth responses in hypertensive patients were normalized by PP2. In VSMCs from hypertensive patients, Ang II-induced generation of ROS and growth are augmented. These effects are mediated, in part, by Src-dependent, NADH/NADPH oxidase-dependent cascades. Thus increased Src activity may be an upstream modulator of redox-sensitive pathways that regulate vascular growth and remodeling in essential hypertension.

Lead is a heavy metal known to be toxic to both animals and plants. Nitric oxide (NO) was reported to participate in plant responses to different heavy metal stresses. In this study, we analyzed the function of exogenous and endogenous NO in Pb-induced toxicity in tobacco BY-2 cells, focusing on the role of NO in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as Pb2+ and Ca2+ fluxes using non-invasive micro-test technology (NMT). Pb treatment induced BY-2 cell death and rapid NO and ROS generation, while NO burst occurred earlier than ROS accumulation. The elimination of NO by 2-4-carboxyphenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO) resulted in a decrease of ROS, and the supplementation of NO by sodium nitroprusside (SNP) caused an increased accumulation of ROS. Furthermore, the addition of exogenous NO stimulated Pb2+ influx, thus promoting Pb uptake in cells and aggravating Pb-induced toxicity in cells, whereas the removal of endogenous NO produced the opposite effect. Moreover, we also found that both exogenous and endogenous NO enhanced Pb-induced Ca2+ effluxes and calcium homeostasis disorder. These results suggest that exogenous and endogenous NO played a critical regulatory role in BY-2 cell death induced by Pb stress by promoting Pb2+ influx and accumulation and disturbing calcium homeostasis.

Defence Responses

Photosynthesis is not only a primary generator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also a component of plant defence. To determine the relationships among photosynthesis, ROS, and defence responses to powdery mildew in wheat, we compared the responses of the Pm40-expressing wheat line L658 and its susceptible sister line L958 at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h post-inoculation (hpi) with powdery mildew via analyses of transcriptomes, cytology, antioxidant activities, photosynthesis, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. The results showed that H2O2 accumulation in L658 was significantly greater than that in L958 at 6 and 48 hpi, and the enzymes activity and transcripts expression of peroxidase and catalase were suppressed in L658 compared with L958. In addition, the inhibition of photosynthesis in L658 paralleled the global downregulation of photosynthesis-related genes. Furthermore, the expression of the salicylic acid-related genes non-expressor of pathogenesis related genes 1 (NPR1), pathogenesis-related 1 (PR1), and pathogenesis-related 5 (PR5) was upregulated, while the expression of jasmonic acid- and ethylene-related genes was inhibited in L658 compared with L958. In conclusion, the downregulation of photosynthesis-related genes likely led to a decline in photosynthesis, which may be combined with the inhibition of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) to generate two stages of H2O2 accumulation. The high level of H2O2, salicylic acid and PR1 and PR5 in L658 possible initiated the hypersensitive response.
