Background: Glucocorticoid administration impairs ischemic wound healing by inhibiting inflammation and angiogenesis via a glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-mediated transcriptional response. However, there are also apparently contradictory reports claiming protective effects of glucorticoid administration after myocardial infarction (MI). We investigated the role of the GR in myeloid cells for infarct wound healing, using GR deficient mice (GRLysMCre). Methods and Results: MI was induced by permanent left coronary artery ligation in GRflox (wild-type [WT] controls) and GRLysMCre mice. The 7-day mortality was significantly lower in WT compared with GRLysMCre mice. At 7 days post MI, GRLysMCre mice exhibited significantly enhanced thinning and dilatation of the infarcted wall, LV chamber enlargement and functional deterioration. This was associated with altered granulation tissue formation and impaired neoangiogenesis at the site of ischemic injury. Multicolor flow cytometric analysis and immunohistochemical studies revealed at the 2nd day post infarction less infiltrating mononuclear cells [CD11bhigh and (CD49b, NK1.1, B220, CD90, Ly6G)low] in the healing myocardium of GRLysMCre mice. Mononuclear cells were identified as monocytes (F4/80, I-Ab, CD11c)low and as macrophages/dendritic cells (F4/80, I-Ab, CD11c)high. Monocytes lacking GR, isolated from peripheral blood and spleen by magnetic-activated cell sorting 1 day after MI, displayed reduced migration capacity and increased superoxide anion production in mitochondria, which was detected by HPLC-electrochemical analysis of Mito-2-hydroxy-E+. Moreover, at day 2 and 3 we found enhanced cellular and mitochondrial oxidative stress in the healing myocardium of GRLysMCre mice. Conclusions: Myeloid-specific deletion of the GR increasing mitochondrial oxidative stress alters wound healing and promotes infarct expansion. Our results suggest that the GR in myeloid cells play a crucial role during cardiac repair after myocardial infarction.

AbstractIn this study, laryngeal tumor cells were killed through the production of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+ influx by cisplatin (CISP). Nevertheless, a resistance was determined against CISP treatment in the tumor cells. We have investigated the stimulating role of curcumin (CURC) on CISP-induced human laryngeal squamous cancer (Hep2) cell death through TRPM2 channel activation, and its protective role against the adverse effects of CISP in normal kidney (MPK) cells. Hep2 and MPK cells were divided into four groups as control group, CURC group (10μM for 24 hrs), CISP group (25 μM for 24 hrs), and CURC + CISP combination group. CISP-induced decrease of cell viability, cell count, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione level in Hep2 cells were further increased by CURC treatment, but the CISP-induced normal MPK cell death was reduced by the treatment. CISP-induced increase of apoptosis, Ca2+ fluorescence intensity, TRPM2 expression and current densities through the increase of lipid peroxidation, intracellular and mitochondrial oxidative stress were stimulated by CURC treatment. In conclusion, CISP-induced increases in mitochondrial ROS and cell death levels in Hep2 cells were further enhanced through the increase of TRPM2 activation with the effect of CURC treatment. CISP-induced drug resistance in Hep2 cells might be reduced by CURC treatment.

Emerging studies have linked prooxidative carbamate compound exposures with various human pathologies including pancreatic cancer. In these studies, our aim was to examine mitochondrial oxidative stress-mediated aberrant chromatin responses in human pancreatic ductal epithelial cells. Posttranslational histone modifications, promoter DNA methylation, and micro-RNA (miRNA) expression patterns were evaluated following induction of mitochondrial oxidative stress by N-succinimidyl N-methylcarbamate exposure. In treated cells, perturbation in mitochondrial machinery led to hypermethylation of p16 and smad4 gene promoters and downregulation of respective gene products. Posttranslational histone modifications that include hypoacetylation of acetylated histone (AcH) 3 and AcH4, hypermethylation of monomethylated histone 3 at lysine 9 and trimethylated histone 4 at lysine 20 ubiquitinated histone (uH) 2A/uH2B, and increased phosphorylation of H2AX and H3 were observed in the treated cells. Altered expression of miRNAs denoted possible location of corresponding genes at oxidatively damaged fragile sites. Collectively, our results provide a direct role of mitochondrial oxidative stress-mediated epigenetic imbalance to perturbed genomic integrity in oxygen radical-induced pancreatic injury. Further, identification and characterization of molecular switches that affect these epigenomic signatures and targets thereof will be imperative to understand the complex role of redox-regulatory network in pancreatic milieu.

Epimorphin is a mesenchymal protein that regulates morphogenesis of epithelial cells. Our preliminary study suggested a novel function of epimorphin in enhancing survival of intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). Oxidative stress leads to cell injury and death and is suggested to be a key contributor to pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. This study was conducted to determine whether epimorphin protects IEC from oxidative stress. Rat intestinal epithelial cell line IEC-6 was cultured with epimorphin (10 and 20 μg/ml), and the life span of IEC was assessed. The mean life span of IEC-6 cells was prolonged 1.9-fold ( P < 0.0006) by treatment with epimorphin. We then examined the epimorphin signaling pathways. Epimorphin phosphorylated epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, activated the MEK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3) kinase/Akt pathways, phosphorylated Bad, and induced Bcl-XL and survivin. Hydrogen peroxide (1 mM) induced cell death in 92% of IEC-6 cells, but epimorphin dramatically diminished (88.7%) cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide ( P < 0.0001). This protective effect of epimorphin was significantly attenuated by inhibitors of MEK and PI3 kinase ( P < 0.0001) or EGF receptor-neutralizing antibody ( P = 0.0007). In wound assays, the number of migrated cells in the wound area decreased (72.5%) by treatment with 30 μM hydrogen peroxide, but epimorphin increased the number of migrated cells 3.18-fold ( P < 0.0001). These results support a novel function of epimorphin in protecting IEC from oxidative stress. This anti-oxidative function of epimorphin is dramatic and is likely mediated by the activation of EGF receptors and the MEK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase and PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathways and through the induction of anti-apoptotic factors.
