Dysregulated nitric oxide (NO)- and superoxide (O2·−)-dependent signaling contributes to the pathobiology of diabetes-induced cardiovascular complications. We examined if stimulation of β3-adrenergic receptors (β3-ARs), coupled to endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activation, relieves oxidative inhibition of eNOS and the Na+-K+ pump induced by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia was established in male New Zealand White rabbits by infusion of the insulin receptor antagonist S961 for 7 days. Hyperglycemia increased tissue and blood indexes of oxidative stress. It induced glutathionylation of the Na+-K+ pump β1-subunit in cardiac myocytes, an oxidative modification causing pump inhibition, and reduced the electrogenic pump current in voltage-clamped myocytes. Hyperglycemia also increased glutathionylation of eNOS, which causes its uncoupling, and increased coimmunoprecipitation of cytosolic p47 phox and membranous p22 phox NADPH oxidase subunits, consistent with NADPH oxidase activation. Blocking translocation of p47 phox to p22 phox with the gp91ds-tat peptide in cardiac myocytes ex vivo abolished the hyperglycemia-induced increase in glutathionylation of the Na+-K+ pump β1-subunit and decrease in pump current. In vivo treatment with the β3-AR agonist CL316243 for 3 days eliminated the increase in indexes of oxidative stress, decreased coimmunoprecipitation of p22 phox with p47 phox, abolished the hyperglycemia-induced increase in glutathionylation of eNOS and the Na+-K+ pump β1-subunit, and abolished the decrease in pump current. CL316243 also increased coimmunoprecipitation of glutaredoxin-1 with the Na+-K+ pump β1-subunit, which may reflect facilitation of deglutathionylation. In vivo β3-AR activation relieves oxidative inhibition of key cardiac myocyte proteins in hyperglycemia and may be effective in targeting the deleterious cardiac effects of diabetes.

Rationale: Disrupted balance between NO and O2.- is central in pathobiology of diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy and vascular dysfunction. We examined if stimulation of β3 adrenergic receptors (β3 ARs), coupled to endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation, would re-establish NO/O2.- balance, relieve oxidative inhibition of key caveolar proteins and protect against diabetes-induced cardiovascular dysfunction. Methods/Results: A hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemic state was established in male White New Zealand rabbits by infusion of the insulin receptor antagonist S961 (12 μg/kg/h). Diabetes induced NADPH oxidase-dependent glutathionylation (GSS-) of the caveolar proteins Na+-K+ pump’s β1 subunit and eNOS in cardiac myocytes and aorta, an oxidative modification that inhibits the pump and uncouples eNOS. Consistent with this, diabetes was associated with reduced electrogenic Na+-K+ pump current in voltage-clamped cardiac myocytes and impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. Selective β3 AR agonist CL316243 (CL, 40 μg/kg/h) restored NO levels analysed by spin-trapping of NO-Fe(DETC)2 complexes; decreased diabetes-induced elevation in O2.- measured by HPLC analysis of dihydroethidium oxidation products, improved endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, and restored the Na+-K+ pump function in cardiac myocytes. These effects were mediated by CL abolishing diabetes-induced increase in eNOS-GSS and β1-GSS through a decrease in forward reaction rate for glutathionylation by suppressing diabetes-induced NADPH oxidase activation, which was further amplified by promotion of de-glutathionylation via enhancement in association of glutaredoxine-1, the enzyme catalysing de-glutathionylation, with eNOS and Na+-K+ pump. Conclusion: β3 AR activation re-established nitroso-redox balance and relieved oxidative inhibition of key caveolar proteins in diabetes. β3 AR agonists are promising in treatment of diabetes-induced cardiovascular complications.

Protein kinase C can activate NADPH oxidase and induce glutathionylation of the β1-Na+-K+ pump subunit, inhibiting activity of the catalytic α-subunit. To examine if signaling of nitric oxide-induced soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cGMP/protein kinase G can cause Na+-K+ pump stimulation by counteracting PKC/NADPH oxidase-dependent inhibition, cardiac myocytes were exposed to ANG II to activate NADPH oxidase and inhibit Na+-K+ pump current ( Ip). Coexposure to 3-(5′-hydroxymethyl-2′-furyl)-1-benzylindazole (YC-1) to stimulate sGC prevented the decrease of Ip. Prevention of the decrease was abolished by inhibition of protein phosphatases (PP) 2A but not by inhibition of PP1, and it was reproduced by an activator of PP2A. Consistent with a reciprocal relationship between β1-Na+-K+ pump subunit glutathionylation and pump activity, YC-1 decreased ANG II-induced β1-subunit glutathionylation. The decrease induced by YC-1 was abolished by a PP2A inhibitor. YC-1 decreased phosphorylation of the cytosolic p47 phox NADPH oxidase subunit and its coimmunoprecipitation with the membranous p22 phox subunit, and it decreased O2·−-sensitive dihydroethidium fluorescence of myocytes. Addition of recombinant PP2A to myocyte lysate decreased phosphorylation of p47 phox indicating the subunit could be a substrate for PP2A. The effects of YC-1 to decrease coimmunoprecipitation of p22 phox and p47 phox NADPH oxidase subunits and decrease β1-Na+-K+ pump subunit glutathionylation were reproduced by activation of nitric oxide-dependent receptor signaling. We conclude that sGC activation in cardiac myocytes causes a PP2A-dependent decrease in NADPH oxidase activity and a decrease in β1 pump subunit glutathionylation. This could account for pump stimulation with neurohormonal oxidative stress expected in vivo.

Prolonged strenuous exercise (PSE) induces transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Previous studies suggest that β-adrenergic pathway desensitization could be involved in this phenomenon, but it remains to be confirmed. Moreover, other underlying mechanisms involving oxidative stress have been recently proposed. The present study aimed to evaluate the involvement of both the β-adrenergic pathway and NADPH oxidase (Nox) enzyme-induced oxidative stress in myocardial dysfunction in rats following PSE. Rats were divided into 4 groups: controls (Ctrl), 4-h exercised on treadmill (PSE), and 2 groups in which Nox enzyme was inhibited with apocynin treatment (Ctrl APO and PSE APO, respectively). We evaluated cardiac function in vivo and ex vivo during basal conditions and isoproterenol stress. GSH/GSSG ratio, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) release, and lipid peroxidation (MDA) were evaluated. PSE induced a decrease in LV developed pressure, intrinsic myocardial contractility, and relaxation associated with an increase in plasma cTnI release. Our in vivo and ex vivo results demonstrated no differences in myocardial response to isoproterenol and of effective dose 50 between control and PSE rats. Interestingly, the LV dysfunction was reversed by apocynin treatment. Moreover, apocynin prevented cellular oxidation [GSH/GSSG ratio: PSE APO rats vs. PSE rats in arbitrary units (au): 1.98 ± 0.07 vs. 1.35 ± 0.10; P < 0.001]. However, no differences in MDA were observed between groups. These data suggest that myocardial dysfunction observed after PSE was not due to β-adrenergic receptor desensitization but could be due to a signaling oxidative stress from the Nox enzyme.

Oxidative stress from innate immune cells is a driving mechanism that underlies COPD pathogenesis. Individuals with alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD) have a dramatically increased risk of developing COPD. To understand this further, the aim of this study was to investigate whether AATD presents with altered neutrophil NADPH-oxidase activation, due to the specific lack of plasma AAT. Experiments were performed using circulating neutrophils isolated from healthy controls and individuals with AATD. Superoxide anion (O2−) production was determined from the rate of reduction of cytochrome c. Quantification of membrane NADPH-oxidase subunits was performed by mass spectrometry and western blot analysis. The clinical significance of our in vitro findings were assessed in patients with AATD and severe COPD receiving intravenous AAT replacement therapy. In vitro, AAT significantly inhibited O2− production by stimulated neutrophils and suppressed receptor stimulation of cyclic adenosimonophosphate (cAMP) and extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 phosphorylation. In addition, AAT reduced plasma membrane translocation of cytosolic phox components of the NADPH-oxidase. Ex vivo, AATD neutrophils demonstrated increased plasma membrane associated p67phox and p47phox and significantly increased O2− production. The described variance in phox protein membrane assembly was resolved post AAT augmentation therapy in vivo, the effects of which significantly reduced AATD neutrophil O2− production to that of healthy control cells. These results expand our knowledge on the mechanism of neutrophil driven airways disease associated with AATD. Therapeutic AAT augmentation modified neutrophil NADPH-oxidase assembly and ROS production, with implications for clinical use in conditions in which oxidative stress plays a pathogenic role.

Abstract We previously demonstrated in in vitro and ex vivo models that physiological concentrations of unconjugated bilirubin (BR) prevent oxidative stress (OS)-induced hepatocanalicular dysfunction and cholestasis. Here, we aimed to ascertain, in the whole rat, whether a similar cholestatic OS injury can be counteracted by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction that consequently elevates endogenous BR levels. This was achieved through the administration of hemin, an inducer of HO-1, the rate-limiting step in BR generation. We found that BR peaked between 6 and 8 h after hemin administration. During this time period, HO-1 induction fully prevented the pro-oxidant tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBuOOH)-induced drop in bile flow, and in the biliary excretion of bile salts and glutathione, the two main driving forces of bile flow; this was associated with preservation of the membrane localization of their respective canalicular transporters, bile salt export pump (Bsep) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (Mrp2), which are otherwise endocytosed by OS. HO-1 induction counteracted the oxidation of intracellular proteins and membrane lipids induced by tBuOOH, and fully prevented the increase in the oxidized-to-total glutathione (GSHt) ratio, a sensitive parameter of hepatocellular OS. Compensatory elevations of the activity of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were also prevented. We conclude that in vivo HO-1 induction protects the liver from acute oxidative injury, thus preventing consequent cholestasis. This reveals an important role for the induction of HO-1 and the consequently elevated levels of BR in preserving biliary secretory function under OS conditions, thus representing a novel therapeutic tool to limit the cholestatic injury that bears an oxidative background.

AbstractAimsSirtuin 3 (Sirt3) is a mitochondrial, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent deacetylase that reduces oxidative stress by activation of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). Oxidative stress enhances arterial thrombosis. This study investigated the effects of genetic Sirt3 deletion on arterial thrombosis in mice in an inflammatory setting and assessed the clinical relevance of these findings in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods and resultsUsing a laser-induced carotid thrombosis model with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge, in vivo time to thrombotic occlusion in Sirt3−/− mice (n = 6) was reduced by half compared to Sirt3+/+ wild-type (n = 8, P < 0.01) controls. Ex vivo analyses of whole blood using rotational thromboelastometry revealed accelerated clot formation and increased clot stability in Sirt3−/− compared to wild-type blood. rotational thromboelastometry of cell-depleted plasma showed accelerated clotting initiation in Sirt3−/− mice, whereas overall clot formation and firmness remained unaffected. Ex vivo LPS-induced neutrophil extracellular trap formation was increased in Sirt3−/− bone marrow-derived neutrophils. Plasma tissue factor (TF) levels and activity were elevated in Sirt3−/− mice, whereas plasma levels of other coagulation factors and TF expression in arterial walls remained unchanged. SOD2 expression in bone marrow -derived Sirt3−/− neutrophils was reduced. In STEMI patients, transcriptional levels of Sirt3 and its target SOD2 were lower in CD14+ leukocytes compared with healthy donors (n = 10 each, P < 0.01).ConclusionsSirt3 loss-of-function enhances experimental thrombosis in vivo via an increase of neutrophil extracellular traps and elevation of TF suggesting thrombo-protective effects of endogenous Sirt3. Acute coronary thrombosis in STEMI patients is associated with lower expression levels of SIRT3 and SOD2 in CD14+ leukocytes. Therefore, enhancing SIRT3 activity by pan-sirtuin activating NAD+-boosters may provide a novel therapeutic target to prevent or treat thrombotic arterial occlusion in myocardial infarction or stroke.

Organismal aging represents an independent risk factor underlying many vascular diseases, including systemic and pulmonary hypertension, and atherosclerosis. While the mechanisms driving aging are largely elusive, a steady persistent increase in tissue oxidative stress has been associated with senescence. Previously we showed TSP1 elicits NADPH oxidase (Nox)-dependent vascular smooth muscle cell oxidative stress. However mechanisms by which TSP1 affects endothelial redox biology are unknown. Here, we tested the hypothesis that TSP1 induces endothelial oxidative stress-linked senescence in aging. Using rapid autopsy disease-free human pulmonary (PA) artery, we identified a significant positive correlation between age, protein levels of TSP1, Nox1 and the cell-cycle repressor p21cip (p<0.05). Age also positively associated with increased Amplex Red-detected PA hydrogen peroxide levels (p<0.05). Moreover, treatment of human PA endothelial cells (HPAEC) with TSP1 (2.2nM; 24h) increased expression (~1.9 fold; p<0.05) and activation of Nox1 (~1.7 fold; p<0.05) compared to control, as assessed by Western blot and SOD-inhibitable cytochrome c reduction. Western blotting and immunofluorescence showed a TSP1-mediated increase in p53 activation, indicative of the DNA damage response. Moreover, TSP1 significantly increased HPAEC senescence in a p53/p21cip/Rb-dependent manner, as assessed by immunofluorescent detection of subcellular localization and senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining. To explore this pathway in vivo, middle-aged (8-10 month) wild-type and TSP1-null mice were utilized. In the TSP1-null, reduced lung senescence, oxidative stress, Nox1 levels and p21cip expression were observed compared to wild-type supporting findings in human samples and cell experiments. Finally, prophylactic treatment with specific Nox1 inhibitor NoxA1ds (10μM) attenuated TSP1-induced HPAEC ROS, p53 activation, p21cip expression and senescence. Taken together, our results provide molecular insight into the functional interplay between TSP1 and Nox1 in the regulation of endothelial senescence, with implications for molecular control of the aging process.
