Chemiluminescence detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggered in tobacco BY-2 cells by the fungal elicitor cryptogein was previously demonstrated to be abolished in cells transformed with an antisense construct of the plasma membrane NADPH oxidase, NtrbohD. Here, using electron microscopy, it has been confirmed that the first hydrogen peroxide production occurring a few minutes after challenge of tobacco cells with cryptogein is plasma membrane located and NtrbohD mediated. Furthermore, the presence of NtrbohD in detergent-resistant membrane fractions could be associated with the presence of NtrbohD-mediated hydrogen peroxide patches along the plasma membrane. Comparison of the subcellular localization of ROS in wild-type tobacco and in plants transformed with antisense constructs of NtrbohD revealed that this enzyme is also responsible for the hydrogen peroxide production occurring at the plasma membrane after infiltration of tobacco leaves with cryptogein. Finally, the reactivity of wild-type and transformed plants to the elicitor and their resistance against the pathogenic oomycete Phytophthora parasitica were examined. NtrbohD-mediated hydrogen peroxide production does not seem determinant for either hypersensitive response development or the establishment of acquired resistance but it is most likely involved in the signaling pathways associated with the protection of the plant cell.

AbstractNeurons utilize plasticity of dendritic arbors as part of a larger suite of adaptive plasticity mechanisms. This explicitly manifests with motoneurons in the Drosophila embryo and larva, where dendritic arbors are exclusively postsynaptic and are used as homeostatic devices, compensating for changes in synaptic input through adapting their growth and connectivity. We recently identified reactive oxygen species (ROS) as novel plasticity signals instrumental in this form of dendritic adjustment. ROS correlate with levels of neuronal activity and negatively regulate dendritic arbor size. Here, we investigated NADPH oxidases as potential sources of such activity-regulated ROS and implicate Dual Oxidase (but not Nox), which generates hydrogen peroxide extracellularly. We further show that the aquaporins Bib and Drip, but not Prip, are required for activity-regulated ROS-mediated adjustments of dendritic arbor size in motoneurons. These results suggest a model whereby neuronal activity leads to activation of the NADPH oxidase Dual Oxidase, which generates hydrogen peroxide at the extracellular face; aquaporins might then act as conduits that are necessary for these extracellular ROS to be channeled back into the cell where they negatively regulate dendritic arbor size.

Acute cessation of flow (ischemia) leads to depolarization of the endothelial cell (EC) membrane mediated by KATP channels and followed by production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from NADPH oxidase. We postulated that ROS are a signal for initiating EC proliferation associated with the loss of shear stress. Flow cytometry was used to identify proliferating CD31-positive pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (mPMVECs) from wild-type, Kir6.2−/−, and gp91 phox−/− mice. mPMVECs were labeled with PKH26 and cultured in artificial capillaries for 72 h at 5 dyn/cm2 (flow adaptation), followed by 24 h of stop flow or continued flow. ROS production during the first hour of ischemia was markedly diminished compared with wild-type mice in both types of gene-targeted mPMVECs. Cell proliferation was defined as the proliferation index (PI). After 72 h of flow, >98% of PKH26-labeled wild-type mPMVECs were at a single peak (PI 1.0) and the proportion of cells in the S+G2/M phases were at 5.8% on the basis of cell cycle analysis. With ischemia (24 h), PI increased to 2.5 and the ratio of cells in S+G2/M phases were at 35%. Catalase, diphenyleneiodonium, and cromakalim markedly inhibited ROS production and cell proliferation in flow-adapted wild-type mPMVECs. Significant effects of ischemia were not observed in Kir6.2−/− and gp91 phox−/− cells. ANG II activation of NADPH oxidase was unaffected by KATP gene deletion. Thus loss of shear stress in flow-adapted mPMVECs results in cell division associated with ROS generated by NADPH oxidase. This effect requires a functioning cell membrane KATP channel.

ABSTRACT Phagocyte-derived reactive oxygen species have been implicated in the clearance of malaria infections. We investigated the progression of five different strains of murine malaria in gp91phox−/− mice, which lack a functional NADPH oxidase and thus the ability to produce phagocyte-derived reactive oxygen species. We found that the absence of functional NADPH oxidase in the gene knockout mice had no effect on the parasitemia or total parasite burden in mice infected with either resolving (Plasmodium yoelii and Plasmodium chabaudi K562) or fatal (Plasmodium berghei ANKA, Plasmodium berghei K173 and Plasmodium vinckei vinckei) strains of malaria. This lack of effect was apparent in both primary and secondary infections with P. yoelii and P. chabaudi. There was also no difference in the presentation of clinical or pathological signs between the gp91phox−/− or wild-type strains of mice infected with malaria. Progression of P. berghei ANKA and P. berghei K173 infections was unchanged in glutathione peroxidase-1 gene knockout mice compared to their wild-type counterparts. The rates of parasitemia progression in gp91phox−/− mice and wild-type mice were not significantly different when they were treated with l-N G -methylarginine, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. These results suggest that phagocyte-derived reactive oxygen species are not crucial for the clearance of malaria parasites, at least in murine models.

Ovarian reactive oxygen species (ROS) are believed to regulate ovulation in mammals, but the details of ROS production in follicles and the role of ROS in ovulation in other species remain underexplored. In Drosophila ovulation, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) is required for follicle rupture by degradation of posterior follicle cells surrounding a mature oocyte. We recently demonstrated that MMP2 activation and follicle rupture are regulated by the neuronal hormone octopamine (OA) and the octopamine receptor in mushroom body (OAMB). In the current study, we investigated the role of the superoxide-generating enzyme NADPH oxidase (NOX) in Drosophila ovulation. We report that Nox is highly enriched in mature follicle cells and that Nox knockdown in these cells leads to a reduction in superoxide and to defective ovulation. Similar to MMP2 activation, NOX enzymatic activity is also controlled by the OA/OAMB-Ca2+ signaling pathway. In addition, we report that extracellular superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) is required to convert superoxide to hydrogen peroxide, which acts as the key signaling molecule for follicle rupture, independent of MMP2 activation. Given that Nox homologs are expressed in mammalian follicles, the NOX-dependent hydrogen peroxide signaling pathway that we describe could play a conserved role in regulating ovulation in other species.

We previously demonstrated protection against high fat-induced obesity in female but not male p47phox−/− mice lacking NADPH oxidase NOX1/2 activity. To test the role of estradiol (E2)-NOX crosstalk in development of this sexually dimorphic phenotype, we fed diets containing 42% fat/0.5% cholesterol to intact and ovariectomized wild type female C57BL/6 mice and female p47phox−/− mice and to ovariectomized mice where the diet was supplemented with an 1 mg/kg 17β estradiol (E2) for 12 weeks from PND28. Weight gain, gonadal fat pad weight, serum leptin and adiponectin, and adipose tissue inflammation were greater in intact wild type vs. p47 mice ( P < 0.05). Genotype effects on body weight/fat mass were abolished after ovariectomized and restored in OVX + E2 mice ( P < 0.05). The mRNA of downstream PPARγ targets CD36, lipoprotein lipase, and leptin was higher in intact wild type vs. p47phox−/− mice mice ( P < 0.05). Likewise, intact high fat-fed wild type mice had higher expression of the cytokine Mcp1; the pyroptosis marker Nirp3 and matrix remodeling and fibrosis markers Mmp2, Col1A1, and Col6a3 mRNAs ( P < 0.05). These genotype effects were reversed and restored by ovariectomized and OVX + E2, respectively ( P < 0.05). These data suggest that triglyceride accumulation in adipose tissue and development of adipose tissue injury in response to feeding diets high in fat and cholesterol is regulated by the balance between NOX-dependent reactive oxygen species signaling and E2-signaling during development. Loss of estrogens post menopause may increase the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome as the result disinhibition of reactive oxygen species signaling. Impact statement Estrogens are known to regulate body composition. In addition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the action of NADPH oxidase (NOX) enzymes have been linked to obesity development. We examined development of obesity and adipose tissue injury in response to feeding “Western” diets high in fat and cholesterol in intact, ovariectomized (OVX), and estrogen-replaced (OVX + E2) wild type and p47phox−/− female mice where NOX2 activity is inhibited. Weight gain, gonadal fat pad weight, and adipose tissue inflammation were greater in intact WT vs. p47phox−/− mice. Genotype effects on body weight/fat mass were abolished after OVX and restored in OVX + E2 mice. These data indicate adipose tissue responses to feeding the “Western” diet is regulated by negative cross-talk between NOX-dependent ROS signaling and E2-signaling during development. Loss of estrogens post menopause may increase the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome as the result disinhibition of ROS signaling.

The extent of changes in sperm structure and function affect the success of fertilization ultimately during the pathway to ovum in the female reproductive tract. The success of AI with frozen-thawed semen varies in dairy and beef breeds of bovine because of differed alterations in sperm during transport in female tract after insemination. To our knowledge, no report is available comparing the changes in dairy and beef sperm leading to death in female tract. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the changes in motility, generation of reactive oxygen species (superoxide and hydrogen peroxide), and their relation to sperm death [asymmetry (apoptosis) and rupture of plasma membrane] of dairy and beef frozen-thawed semen during incubation at 37°C for 24 h. This incubation was aimed to mimic the environment of female reproductive tract. Frozen dairy semen (n = 4 bulls) was procured from a Canadian breeding station, whereas beef semen was collected from breeding beef bulls (n = 3; 5 replicates), diluted with Tris-based extender (composition was same as used in dairy semen), cooled to +4°C over 90 min, and cryopreserved by programmable freezer using standard rate as used in dairy semen. Two straws per replicate were thawed at 37°C from both types of semen, pooled separately, and incubated at 37°C for 24 h in capped tubes. Each pooled semen sample was evaluated for motility with CASA, superoxide (O2–, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) radical using HE/YoPRO and H2DCFDA/PI assay, respectively, and asymmetry of plasma membrane using YoPRO/PI assay through flow cytometric analysis at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h of incubation. The MIXED procedure of SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) was used to analyse the data as 2 × 6 factorial model for 2 types of semen (dairy and beef) and 6 time points using time as repeated measure. A threshold limit of 30% was considered for motility and live sperm to get optimum fertility. Sperm motility remained higher (P < 0.05) than threshold limit till 6 h in dairy (50.95 ± 2.62%) and 2 h in beef semen (30.28 ± 6.95%). Dairy semen possessed more (P < 0.05) nonapoptotic sperm without O2– (HE–/YoPRO–) till 6 h of incubation than beef semen. The increase in apoptotic sperm containing superoxide radical (HE+/YoPRO+) over time was more (P < 0.05) in beef semen till 6 h of incubation. The rise in dead sperm containing H2O2 (H2DCFDA+/PI+) was recorded more in beef than in dairy semen until 6 h of incubation. Live sperm without apoptosis (YoPRO–/PI–) were higher until 24 h in dairy (49.36 ± 4.56%) compared with beef semen (24.89 ± 3.85%), whereas viable sperm with apoptosis (YoPRO+/PI–) were found similar in both types of semen over time. In conclusion, dairy frozen-thawed semen possessed more live sperm without reactive oxygen species (superoxide and hydrogen peroxide) until 6 h of incubation than did beef semen. The decrease in superoxide radical was more in dairy than in beef semen. Dead and apoptotic sperm increased more in beef frozen-thawed semen over time during incubation. This inference suggests performing the insemination late near ovulation with beef frozen-thawed semen because of less viable life than dairy semen.
