Abstract. Soil heterotrophic respiration is a major determinant of the carbon (C) cycle and its interactions with climate. Given the complexity of the respiratory machinery, it is traditionally considered that oxidation of organic C into carbon dioxide (CO2) strictly results from intracellular metabolic processes. Here we show that C mineralization can operate in soils deprived of all observable cellular forms. Moreover, the process responsible for CO2 emissions in sterilized soils induced a strong C isotope fractionation (up to 50 ‰) incompatible with respiration of cellular origin. The supply of 13C glucose in sterilized soil led to the release of 13CO2 suggesting the presence of respiratory-like metabolism (glycolysis, decarboxylation reaction, chain of electron transfer) carried out by soil-stabilized enzymes, and by soil mineral and metal catalysts. These findings indicate that CO2 emissions from soils can have two origins: (1) from the well-known respiration of soil heterotrophic microorganisms and (2) from an extracellular oxidative metabolism (EXOMET) or, at least, catabolism. These two metabolisms should be considered separately when studying effects of environmental factors on the C cycle because the likelihood is that they do not obey the same laws and they respond differently to abiotic factors.

Full textAbstract:
Alterations in neutrophil function by tobacco products may play a central role in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases and several smoking-related systemic diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of smoking on neutrophil oxidative metabolism. Materials and methods. The study included 17 smoking men free of systemic diseases who were referred for treatment of various odontological diseases to outpatient department of Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital. The age of subjects varied from 22 to 43 years. All subjects answered the questions about smoking habits. Clinical examination included assessment of oral hygiene status according to the OHI-s index and periodontal status according to Russell and Ramfjord indices. To evaluate the oxidative metabolism of neutrophils, luminol- and liucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence and nitroblue tetrazolium test were used. Results. After smoking, extracellular liucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence response was higher as compared to the response before smoking, but total (intra- and extracellular) luminol-dependent chemiluminescence response was the same both before and after smoking. Exposure of neutrophils to smoking caused a significant increase in nitroblue tetrazolium reduction. Conclusion. The release of reactive oxygen species in neutrophils exposed to smoking may alter the pathogenic processes in periodontal diseases.

Hormones and other extracellular agents often stimulate energy-requiring processes such as muscle contraction and secretion through increases in cytosolic calcium. To preserve energy homeostasis, ATP formation must also be stimulated. One important mechanism involves increases in mitochondrial calcium and activation of key steps in the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

Full textAbstract:
Spermine was toxic to BHK-21/C13 cells in the absence of any extracellular metabolism of the amine. Inhibition of copper-containing amine oxidases with aminoguanidine partially prevented the response, whereas inhibition of polyamine oxidase with MDL-72,527 exacerbated the effect. Oxidation by an intracellular copper-containing amine oxidase may be involved in the toxicity of spermine, whereas the polyamine-interconversion pathway appears to play a cytoprotective role. There was no evidence for spermine imposing a state of oxidative stress within the cells. Inhibition of catalase and glutathione reductase did not alter the cytotoxicity of spermine, and there was no excretion of oxidized glutathione into the extracellular medium. The results suggest that spermine itself can exert a toxic effect directly on the cells.

Full textAbstract:
Under physio-pathological conditions, cells release membrane-surrounded structures named Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), which convey their molecular cargo to neighboring or distant cells influencing their metabolism. Besides their involvement in the intercellular communication, EVs might represent a tool used by cells to eliminate unnecessary/toxic material. Here, we revised the literature exploring the link between EVs and redox biology. The first proof of this link derives from evidence demonstrating that EVs from healthy cells protect target cells from oxidative insults through the transfer of antioxidants. Oxidative stress conditions influence the release and the molecular cargo of EVs that, in turn, modulate the redox status of target cells. Oxidative stress-related EVs exert both beneficial or harmful effects, as they can carry antioxidants or ROS-generating enzymes and oxidized molecules. As mediators of cell-to-cell communication, EVs are also implicated in the pathophysiology of oxidative stress-related diseases. The review found evidence that numerous studies speculated on the role of EVs in redox signaling and oxidative stress-related pathologies, but few of them unraveled molecular mechanisms behind this complex link. Thus, the purpose of this review is to report and discuss this evidence, highlighting that the analysis of the molecular content of oxidative stress-released EVs (reminiscent of the redox status of originating cells), is a starting point for the use of EVs as diagnostic and therapeutic tools in oxidative stress-related diseases.

Full textAbstract:
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a normal byproduct of cellular metabolism and are required components in cell signaling and immune responses. However, an imbalance of ROS can lead to oxidative stress in various pathological states. Increases in oxidative stress are one of the hallmarks in cancer cells, which display an altered metabolism when compared to corresponding normal cells. Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EcSOD) is an antioxidant enzyme that catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide anion (O2−) in the extracellular environment. By doing so, this enzyme provides the cell with a defense against oxidative damage by contributing to redox balance. Interestingly, EcSOD expression has been found to be decreased in a variety of cancers, and this loss of expression may contribute to the development and progression of malignancies. In addition, recent compounds can increase EcSOD activity and expression, which has the potential for altering this redox signaling and cellular proliferation. This review will explore the role that EcSOD expression plays in cancer in order to better understand its potential as a tool for the detection, predicted outcomes and potential treatment of malignancies.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Mongolian medical warm acupuncture has a desirable therapeutic effect on sciatica. Apoptosis of the nucleus pulposus cells is considered to play an important role in sciatica. Evidence has demonstrated that oxidative stress and its induced activation of the signaling pathways play important roles in sciatica. However, further research is expected to reveal whether Mongolian medical warm acupuncture can inhibit the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and oxidative stress. Objective. To study the effect of the p38 MAPK pathway activated by the generated ROS on apoptosis and the expression of the genes related to the balance of the extracellular matrix metabolism during treatment of sciatica with Mongolian medical warm acupuncture. Method. The volume of the active oxygen generated in the nucleus pulposus cells was detected following intervention of Mongolian medical warm acupuncture. The p38 MAPK phosphorylation level was detected with Western blot. The genes are related to the metabolism of the nucleus pulposus extracellular matrix. Result. Mongolian medical warm acupuncture reduced the active oxygen within the nucleus pulposus cells and inhibited the activation of the p38 MAPK pathway (P=0.013). Meanwhile, it upregulated the gene expression of Type II collagen, aggrecan, Sox-9, and tissue matrix metalloproteinase reagent 1 (P-0.015; P=0.025; P=0.031; P=0.045) and downregulated the gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase 3 (P=0.015). Conclusion. Mongolian medical warm acupuncture may inhibit apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and activation of the extracellular matrix decomposition metabolism pathway and promote its anabolism. This process may rely on the oxidative stress matrix of the p38 MAPK pathway.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences 20, no. 22 (2019): 5554. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijms20225554.
Full textAbstract:
Cardiac mesenchymal stem cells (C-MSC) play a key role in maintaining normal cardiac function under physiological and pathological conditions. Glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation predominately account for energy production in C-MSC. Dicer, a ribonuclease III endoribonuclease, plays a critical role in the control of microRNA maturation in C-MSC, but its role in regulating C-MSC energy metabolism is largely unknown. In this study, we found that Dicer knockout led to concurrent increase in both cell proliferation and apoptosis in C-MSC compared to Dicer floxed C-MSC. We analyzed mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation by quantifying cellular oxygen consumption rate (OCR), and glycolysis by quantifying the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), in C-MSC with/without Dicer gene deletion. Dicer gene deletion significantly reduced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation while increasing glycolysis in C-MSC. Additionally, Dicer gene deletion selectively reduced the expression of β-oxidation genes without affecting the expression of genes involved in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle or electron transport chain (ETC). Finally, Dicer gene deletion reduced the copy number of mitochondrially encoded 1,4-Dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH): ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit 6 (MT-ND6), a mitochondrial-encoded gene, in C-MSC. In conclusion, Dicer gene deletion induced a metabolic shift from oxidative metabolism to aerobic glycolysis in C-MSC, suggesting that Dicer functions as a metabolic switch in C-MSC, which in turn may regulate proliferation and environmental adaptation.

Full textAbstract:
Amino acid metabolism promotes cancer cell proliferation and survival by supporting building block synthesis, producing reducing agents to mitigate oxidative stress, and generating immunosuppressive metabolites for immune evasion. Malignant cells rewire amino acid metabolism to maximize their access to nutrients. Amino acid transporter expression is upregulated to acquire amino acids from the extracellular environment. Under nutrient depleted conditions, macropinocytosis can be activated where proteins from the extracellular environment are engulfed and degraded into the constituent amino acids. The demand for non-essential amino acids (NEAAs) can be met through de novo synthesis pathways. Cancer cells can alter various signaling pathways to boost amino acid usage for the generation of nucleotides, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging molecules, and oncometabolites. The importance of amino acid metabolism in cancer proliferation makes it a potential target for therapeutic intervention, including via small molecules and antibodies. In this review, we will delineate the targets related to amino acid metabolism and promising therapeutic approaches.

Full textAbstract:
Diet-induced obesity is associated with proteinuria and glomerular disease in humans and rodents. We have shown that in mice fed a high-fat diet, increased renal expression of the transcriptional factor sterol-regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) plays a critical role in renal lipid accumulation and increases the activity of proinflammatory cytokines and profibrotic growth factors. In the current study, we have determined a key role of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in modulating renal SREBP-1 activity, glomerular lesions, and proteinuria. We found that feeding a Western-style diet to DBA/2J mice results in proteinuria, podocyte loss, mesangial expansion, renal lipid accumulation, and increased expression of proinflammatory factors, oxidative stress, and profibrotic growth factors. Treatment of these mice with the highly selective and potent FXR-activating ligand 6-α-ethyl-chenodeoxycholic acid (INT-747) ameliorates triglyceride accumulation by modulating fatty acid synthesis and oxidation, improves proteinuria, prevents podocyte loss, mesangial expansion, accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins, and increased expression of profibrotic growth factors and fibrosis markers, and modulates inflammation and oxidative stress. Our results therefore indicate that FXR activation could represent an effective therapy for treatment of abnormal renal lipid metabolism with associated inflammation, oxidative stress, and kidney pathology in patients affected by obesity.

Full textAbstract:
Putative roles of glycolytic and oxidative metabolism in the removal of potassium ion from the extracellular space were examined in rat cerebral cortex. In response to direct electrical stimulation of the cerebral surface, the activity of extracellular potassium ion [Formula: see text] transiently increased. Inhibition of glycolysis with iodoacetate prolonged the time required for dissipation of the elevated [Formula: see text]. This slowing was most evident in the early period after stimulation, when [Formula: see text] was relatively high. Levels of high-energy intermediates were unchanged by iodoacetate. In contrast, severe hypoxemia was without effect during the early phase of K+ removal but hypoxemia slowed the later restoration of the [Formula: see text] baseline. These data demonstrate that the rapid removal of potassium ion from the extracellular space following intense neuronal activity is aided by the Embden–Myerhoff metabolic pathways and perhaps by direct coupling of ATP produced by glycolysis. We suggest that removal of potassium ion from the brain extracellular space depends on two ATP pools, one derived from oxidative phosphorylation, the other from glycolysis. The glycolytic ATP pool may be most involved in the early and rapid phase of potassium clearance; the oxidative ATP pool may be more associated with the second and slower phase of [Formula: see text] clearance, and with the maintenance of the [Formula: see text] baseline under 'resting' conditions.Key words: potassium, glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, hypoxemia, iodoacetate.

Full textAbstract:
Nampt/visfatin acts in both intracellular and extracellular compartments to regulate multiple biological roles, including NAD metabolism, cancer, inflammation, and senescence. However, its function in chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been well-defined. Here we use Huh-7 hepatoma cells as a model to determine how Nampt/visfatin affects cellular survival under oxidative stress. We found that the transition of Nampt/visfatin from intracellular into extracellular form was induced by H2O2treatment in 293T cells and confirmed that this phenomenon was not due to cell death but through the secretion of Nampt/visfatin. In addition, Nampt/visfatin suppressed cell viability in oxidative treatment in Huh-7 cells and acted on the inhibition of hepatoma cell growth. Oxidative stress also reduced the Nampt-mediated activation of NF-κB gene expression. In this study, we identify a novel feature of Nampt/visfatin which functions as an adipokine that can be secreted upon cellular stress. Our results provide an example to understand how adipokine interacts with chemotherapeutic treatment by oxidative stress in HCC.

Full textAbstract:
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) result from intracellular aerobic metabolism and/or extracellular stimuli. Although endogenous antioxidant systems exquisitely balance ROS production, an excess of ROS production, commonly found in diverse human degenerative pathologies including cancer, gives rise to the oxidative stress. Increased oxidative stress in cancer is related to the sustained proliferation and metabolism of cancer cells. However, cancer cells show an intrinsic higher antioxidant capacity with respect to the normal counterpart as well as an ability to cope with oxidative stress-induced cell death by establishing mechanisms of adaptation, which define a selective advantage against the adverse oxidative stress environment. The identification of survival factors and adaptive pathways, set up by cancer cells against oxidative stress, provides multiple targets for the therapeutic intervention against cancer. Neuroglobin (NGB), a globin primarily described in neurons as an oxidative stress sensor and cytoprotective factor against redox imbalance, has been recently recognized as a novel tumor-associated protein. In this review, the involvement of NGB in the cancer cell adaptation and resistance to oxidative stress will be discussed highlighting the globin role in the regulation of both the stress-induced apoptotic pathway and antioxidant systems activated by cancer cells.

Full textAbstract:
The role of canonical Wnt signaling in metabolic regulation and development of physiological cardiac hypertrophy remains largely unknown. To explore the function of β-catenin in the regulation of cardiac metabolism and physiological cardiac hypertrophy development, we used mice heterozygous for cardiac-specific β-catenin knockout that were subjected to a swimming training model. β-Catenin haploinsufficient mice subjected to endurance training displayed a decreased β-catenin transcriptional activity, attenuated cardiomyocytes hypertrophic growth, and enhanced activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), phosphoinositide-3-kinase–Akt (Pi3K–Akt), and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (MAPK/Erk1/2) signaling pathways compared to trained wild type mice. We further observed an increased level of proteins involved in glucose aerobic metabolism and β-oxidation along with perturbed activity of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complexes (OXPHOS) in trained β-catenin haploinsufficient mice. Taken together, Wnt/β-catenin signaling appears to govern metabolic regulatory programs, sustaining metabolic plasticity in adult hearts during the adaptation to endurance training.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Mammalian sperm are stored in the epididymis in a dormant state. Upon ejaculation, they must immediately start producing sufficient energy to maintain motility and support capacitation. While this increased energy demand during capacitation is well established, it remains unclear how mouse sperm modify their metabolism to meet this need. We now show that capacitating mouse sperm enhance glucose uptake, identifying glucose uptake as a functional marker of capacitation. Using an extracellular flux analyzer, we show that glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation increase during capacitation. Furthermore, this increase in oxidative phosphorylation is dependent on glycolysis, providing experimental evidence for a link between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in mouse sperm.

Full textAbstract:
Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) belongs to the mitochondrial anion carrier family. It is ubiquitously expressed but is most abdundant in the reticuloendothelial system. In addition to uncoupling function, UCP-2 modulates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by isolated mitochondria. Using an antisense oligonucleotide strategy, we investigated whether a defect in UCP-2 expression modulates ROS in intact endothelial cells. Murine endothelial cells (CRL 2181) pretreated by antisense oligonucleotides directed against UCP-2 mRNA exhibited a significant and specific increase in membrane potential and intracellular ROS level compared with control scrambled or anti-UCP-1 and -UCP-3 antisense oligonucleotides. These specific changes induced by UCP-2 antisense oligonucleotides were correlated with a rise in extracellular superoxide anion production and oxidative stress assessed by thiobarbituric acid reactive substance values. Taken together, these data suggest a role for UCP-2 in control of ROS production and subsequent oxidation of surrounding compounds mediating oxidative stress of endothelial cells. These data also support the notion that manipulations of UCP-2 at the genetic level could control ROS metabolism at the cellular level.Key words: UCP-2, reactive oxygen species, LDL oxidation, oxidative stress, mitochondria, endothelial cells.

Full textAbstract:
Cerebral microdialysis is a widely used clinical tool for monitoring extracellular concentrations of selected metabolites after brain injury and to guide neurocritical care. Extracellular glucose levels and lactate/pyruvate ratios have high diagnostic value because they can detect hypoglycemia and deficits in oxidative metabolism, respectively. In addition, patterns of metabolite concentrations can distinguish between ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction, and are helpful to choose and evaluate therapy. Increased intracranial pressure can be life-threatening after brain injury, and hypertonic solutions are commonly used for pressure reduction. Recent reports have advocated use of hypertonic sodium lactate, based on claims that it is glucose sparing and provides an oxidative fuel for injured brain. However, changes in extracellular concentrations in microdialysate are not evidence that a rise in extracellular glucose level is beneficial or that lactate is metabolized and improves neuroenergetics. The increase in glucose concentration may reflect inhibition of glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and pentose phosphate shunt pathway fluxes by lactate flooding in patients with mitochondrial dysfunction. In such cases, lactate will not be metabolizable and lactate flooding may be harmful. More rigorous approaches are required to evaluate metabolic and physiological effects of administration of hypertonic sodium lactate to brain-injured patients.

Abstract The receptor kinase, c-MET, has emerged as a target for glioblastoma therapy. However, treatment resistance evolves inevitably. By performing a global metabolite screen with metabolite set enrichment coupled with transcriptome and gene set enrichment analysis and proteomic screening, we have identified substantial reprogramming of tumor metabolism, involving oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) with a substantial accumulation of acyl-carnitines accompanied by an increase of PGC1a in response to genetic (shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9) and pharmacological (crizotinib) inhibition of c-MET. Extracellular flux and carbon tracing analyses (U-13C-Glucose and U-13C-Glutamine) demonstrated enhanced oxidative metabolism, which was driven by FAO and supported by increased anaplerosis of glucose carbons. These findings were observed in concert with increased number and fusion of mitochondria and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Genetic interference with PGC1a rescued this oxidative phenotype driven by c-MET inhibition. Silencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that CREB regulates the expression of PGC1a in the context of c-MET inhibition. Interference with both oxidative phosphorylation (metformin, oligomycin) and beta-oxidation of fatty acids (etomoxir) enhanced the anti-tumor efficacy of c-MET inhibition. Moreover, based on a high-throughput drug screen, we show that gamitrinib along with c-MET inhibition results in synergistic cell death. Finally, utilizing patient-derived xenograft models, we provide evidence that the combination treatments (crizotinib+etomoxir and crizotinib+gamitrinib) were significantly more efficacious than single treatment without induction of toxicity. Collectively, we have unraveled the mechanistic underpinnings of c-MET inhibitor treatment and identified novel combination therapies that may enhance the therapeutic efficacy of c-MET inhibition.

Full textAbstract:
Cancer cells preferentially use aerobic glycolysis over mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation for energy production, and this metabolic reprogramming is currently recognized as a hallmark of cancer. Oncogenic signaling frequently converges with this metabolic shift, increasing cancer cells’ ability to produce building blocks and energy, as well as to maintain redox homeostasis. Alterations in cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion promote cancer cell invasion, intravasation, anchorage-independent survival in circulation, and extravasation, as well as homing in a distant organ. Importantly, during this multi-step metastatic process, cells need to induce metabolic rewiring, in order to produce the energy needed, as well as to impair oxidative stress. Although the individual implications of adhesion molecules and metabolic reprogramming in cancer have been widely explored over the years, the crosstalk between cell adhesion molecular machinery and metabolic pathways is far from being clearly understood, in both normal and cancer contexts. This review summarizes our understanding about the influence of cell–cell and cell–matrix adhesion in the metabolic behavior of cancer cells, with a special focus concerning the role of classical cadherins, such as Epithelial (E)-cadherin and Placental (P)-cadherin.

Full textAbstract:
Glycation of proteins forms fructosamines and AGEs (advanced glycation end products). Oxidative and nitrosative stress leads to the formation of oxidative and nitrosative modifications. The modified amino acid residues formed in these processes are biomarkers of protein damage: some are risk markers and some may be risk factors for disease development. We developed a method for the concurrent quantitative measurement of 16 biomarkers indicative of protein glycation, oxidation and nitrosation damage using LC-MS/MS (LC with tandem MS detection). Underivatized analytes were detected free in physiological fluids and in enzymatic hydrolysates of cellular and extracellular proteins. Hydroimidazolones were the most important glycation biomarkers, and methionine sulphoxide was the most important oxidative biomarker quantitatively; 3-nitrotyrosine was the biomarker of nitrosation. Quantitative screening showed high levels of AGEs in cellular protein and moderate levels in protein of blood plasma. Levels of 3-nitrotyrosine were typically 100-fold lower than this. The major glycation adducts in blood plasma had high renal clearances in normal healthy human subjects, whereas methionine sulphoxide and 3-nitrotyrosine had low renal clearances due to further metabolism. Physiological AGEs in blood plasma were eliminated from the circulation in the kidney and not in the liver. LC-MS/MS peptide mapping was also used to locate the protein biomarkers. These studies reveal that advanced glycation is a significant modification of cellular and extracellular protein. The enzymatic defences against glycation, antioxidants and proteasomal protein degradation inside cells are probable factors regulating biomarker levels of cellular protein.

Full textAbstract:
Jenny shows a large endometrial reaction after semen influx to the uterus with a large amount of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) migrating into the uterine lumen. PMN act as a sperm selection mechanism through phagocytosis and NETosis (DNA extrudes and, together with proteins, trap spermatozoa). While a reduced percentage of spermatozoa are phagocytosed by PMN, most are found to be attached to neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). This selection process together with sperm metabolism produces a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that influence the reproductive success. The present study aimed to determine the extracellular ROS production in both sperm and PMN. With this purpose, (1) donkey sperm were exposed to reductive and oxidative stresses, through adding different concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), respectively; and (2) PMN were subjected to NETosis in the presence of the whole semen, sperm, seminal plasma (SP) or other activators such as formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). Extracellular ROS production (measured as H2O2 levels) was determined with the Amplex® Red Hydrogen Peroxide/Peroxidase Assay Kit. Donkey sperm showed more resilience to oxidative stress than to the reductive one, and GSH treatments led to greater H2O2 extracellular production. Moreover, not only did SP appear to be the main inducer of NETosis in PMN, but it was also able to maintain the extracellular H2O2 levels produced by sperm and NETosis.

Oxidative pulmonary damage The pathogenesis of pulmonary emphysema is incompletely understood. Nearly 90% of all patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases are smokers. Cigarette smoke is a rich source of oxidants. Oxidative stress increases oxidant generation, which cannot be neutralized with antioxidant defense mechanisms. Lipids, proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid are components of the cell that are most sensitive to oxidative damage. Oxygen radicals can modify amino acid side chains, form protein aggregates, cleave peptide bonds, and make proteins more susceptible to proteolytic degradation. It has been shown that neutrophils have a principal effectors role in pulmonary tissue damage. Neutrophil elastase can damage air spaces by degrading elastin, and a variety of extracellular membrane proteins, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins. Neutrophil elastase can also stimulate inflammation by increasing interleukin-8 synthesis. Additionally, neutrophil elastase can activate or in- activate inhibitors of neutrophil collagens, and secretorv leukoprotease proteinase inhibitor. Apart from neutrophils, oxidative stress causes activation of other phagocytes and severe inflammatory response ensues. Lipid peroxidation and pulmonary emphysema Except protein oxidation and lipid pet-oxidation, oxidanls may disturb signal transmission in the cells, as well as normal cell membrane function and function of organelles. Modified structure of deoxyribonucleic acid may cause mutations, which in absence oj reparation enzyme activity lead to cell injury. Iron and oxidative stress Iron metabolism is also important in the development of pulmonary emphysema due to its role in production of some oxidants.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor for peripheral artery disease. Diabetes mellitus induces chronic states of oxidative stress and vascular inflammation that increase neutrophil activation and release of myeloperoxidase. The goal of this study is to determine whether inhibiting myeloperoxidase reduces oxidative stress and neutrophil infiltration, increases vascularization, and improves blood flow in a diabetic murine model of hindlimb ischaemia. Methods: Leptin receptor–deficient ( db/db) mice were subjected to hindlimb ischaemia. Ischaemic mice were treated with N-acetyl-lysyltyrosylcysteine-amide (KYC) to inhibit myeloperoxidase. After ligating the femoral artery, effects of treatments were determined with respect to hindlimb blood flow, neutrophil infiltration, oxidative damage, and the capability of hindlimb extracellular matrix to support human endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Results: KYC treatment improved hindlimb blood flow at 7 and 14 days in db/db mice; decreased the formation of advanced glycation end products, 4-hydroxynonenal, and 3-chlorotyrosine; reduced neutrophil infiltration into the hindlimbs; and improved the ability of hindlimb extracellular matrix from db/db mice to support endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that inhibiting myeloperoxidase reduces oxidative stress in ischaemic hindlimbs of db/db mice, which improves blood flow and reduces neutrophil infiltration such that hindlimb extracellular matrix from db/db mice supports endothelial cell proliferation and migration.

We analyzed the metabolic response to cortical spreading depression that drastically increases local energy demand to restore ion homeostasis. During single and multiple cortical spreading depressions in the rat cortex, we simultaneously monitored extracellular levels of glucose and lactate using rapid sampling microdialysis and glucose influx using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography while tracking cortical spreading depression using laser speckle imaging. Combining the acquired data with steady-state requirements we developed a mass-conserving compartment model including neurons and glia that was consistent with the observed data. In summary, our findings are: (1) Early breakdown of glial glycogen provides a major source of energy during increased energy demand and leaves 80% of blood-borne glucose to neurons. (2) Lactate is used solely by neurons and only if extracellular lactate levels are >80% above normal. (3) Although the ratio of oxygen and glucose consumption transiently reaches levels <3, the major part (>90%) of the overall energy supply is from oxidative metabolism. (4) During cortical spreading depression, brain release of lactate exceeds its consumption suggesting that lactate is only a circumstantial energy substrate. Our findings provide a general scenario for the metabolic response to increased cerebral energy demand.

Full textAbstract:
Inorganic phosphate (P i) plays an important role in cell signaling and energy metabolism. In insulin-releasing cells, P i transport into mitochondria is essential for the generation of ATP, a signaling factor in metabolism-secretion coupling. Elevated P i concentrations, however, can have toxic effects in various cell types. The underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we have investigated the effect of P i on secretory function and apoptosis in INS-1E clonal β-cells and rat pancreatic islets. Elevated extracellular P i (1∼5 mM) increased the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), superoxide generation, caspase activation, and cell death. Depolarization of the ΔΨm abolished P i-induced superoxide generation. Butylmalonate, a nonselective blocker of mitochondrial phosphate transporters, prevented ΔΨm hyperpolarization, superoxide generation, and cytotoxicity caused by P i. High P i also promoted the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition (PT) pore, leading to apoptosis, which was also prevented by butylmalonate. The mitochondrial antioxidants mitoTEMPO or MnTBAP prevented P i-triggered PT pore opening and cytotoxicity. Elevated extracellular P i diminished ATP synthesis, cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations, and insulin content and secretion in INS-1E cells as well as in dispersed islet cells. These parameters were restored following preincubation with mitochondrial antioxidants. This treatment also prevented high-P i-induced phosphorylation of ER stress proteins. We propose that elevated extracellular P i causes mitochondrial oxidative stress linked to mitochondrial hyperpolarization. Such stress results in reduced insulin content and defective insulin secretion and cytotoxicity. Our data explain the decreased insulin content and secretion observed under hyperphosphatemic states.

Full textAbstract:
S-nitrosation of thiols in key proteins in cell signaling pathways is thought to be an important contributor to nitric oxide (NO)-dependent control of vascular (patho)physiology. Multiple metabolic enzymes are targets of both NO and S-nitrosation, including those involved in glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Thus it is important to understand how these metabolic pathways are integrated by NO-dependent mechanisms. Here, we compared the effects of NO and S-nitrosation on both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in bovine aortic endothelial cells using extracellular flux technology to determine common and unique points of regulation. The compound S-nitroso-l-cysteine (l-CysNO) was used to initiate intracellular S-nitrosation since it is transported into cells and results in stable S-nitrosation in vitro. Its effects were compared with the NO donor DetaNONOate (DetaNO). DetaNO treatment caused only a decrease in the reserve respiratory capacity; however, l-CysNO impaired both this parameter and basal respiration in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, DetaNO stimulated extracellular acidification rate (ECAR), a surrogate marker of glycolysis, whereas l-CysNO stimulated ECAR at low concentrations and inhibited it at higher concentrations. Moreover, a temporal relationship between NO- and S-nitrosation-mediated effects on metabolism was identified, whereby NO caused a rapid impairment in mitochondrial function, which was eventually overwhelmed by S-nitrosation-dependent processes. Taken together, these results suggest that severe pharmacological nitrosative stress may differentially regulate metabolic pathways through both intracellular S-nitrosation and NO-dependent mechanisms. Moreover, these data provide insight into the role of NO and related compounds in vascular (patho)physiology.

Full textAbstract:
Diet-induced obesity (DIO) and insulin resistance in mice are associated with proteinuria, renal mesangial expansion, accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins, and activation of oxidative stress, proinflammatory cytokines, profibrotic growth factors, and the sterol regulatory element binding proteins, SREBP-1 and SREBP-2, that mediate increases in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether treatment of DIO mice with the vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonist doxercalciferol (1α-hydroxyvitamin D2) prevents renal disease. Our results indicate that treatment of DIO mice with the VDR agonist decreases proteinuria, podocyte injury, mesangial expansion, and extracellular matrix protein accumulation. The VDR agonist also decreases macrophage infiltration, oxidative stress, proinflammatory cytokines, and profibrotic growth factors. Furthermore, the VDR agonist also prevents the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system including the angiotensin II type 1 receptor and the mineralocorticoid receptor. An additional novel finding of our study is that activation of VDR results in decreased accumulation of neutral lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol) and expression of adipophilin in the kidney by decreasing SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 expression and target enzymes that mediate fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis and increasing expression of the farnesoid X receptor. This study therefore demonstrates multiple novel effects of VDR activation in the kidney which prevent renal manifestations of DIO in the kidney.

Full textAbstract:
Somatostatin potently inhibits insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. It does so via activation of ATP-sensitive K+-channels (KATP) and G protein-regulated inwardly rectifying K+-channels, which act to decrease voltage-gated Ca2+-influx, a process central to exocytosis. Because KATP channels, and indeed insulin secretion, is controlled by glucose oxidation, we investigated whether somatostatin inhibits insulin secretion by direct effects on glucose metabolism. Oxidative metabolism in β-cells was monitored by measuring changes in the O2 consumption (ΔO2) of isolated mouse islets and MIN6 cells, a murine-derived β-cell line. In both models, glucose-stimulated ΔO2, an effect closely associated with inhibition of KATP channel activity and induction of electrical activity (r &gt; 0.98). At 100 nm, somatostatin abolished glucose-stimulated ΔO2 in mouse islets (n = 5, P &lt; 0.05) and inhibited it by 80 ± 28% (n = 17, P &lt; 0.01) in MIN6 cells. Removal of extracellular Ca2+, 5 mm Co2+, or 20 μm nifedipine, conditions that inhibit voltage-gated Ca2+ influx, did not mimic but either blocked or reduced the effect of the peptide on ΔO2. The nutrient secretagogues, methylpyruvate (10 mm) and α-ketoisocaproate (20 mm), also stimulated ΔO2, but this was unaffected by somatostatin. Somatostatin also reversed glucose-induced hyperpolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential monitored using rhodamine-123. Application of somatostatin receptor selective agonists demonstrated that the peptide worked through activation of the type 5 somatostatin receptor. In conclusion, somatostatin inhibits glucose metabolism in murine β-cells by an unidentified Ca2+-dependent mechanism. This represents a new signaling pathway by which somatostatin can inhibit cellular functions regulated by glucose metabolism.

Full textAbstract:
The extracellular pH of living tissue in the retina and elsewhere in the brain is lower than the pH of the surrounding milieu. We have shown that the pH gradient between the in vitro retina and the superfusion solution is regulated by a circadian (24-h) clock so that it is smaller in the subjective day than in the subjective night. We show here that the circadian changes in retinal pH result from a clock-mediated change in the generation of H+ that accompanies energy production. To demonstrate this, we suppressed energy metabolism and recorded the resultant reduction in the pH difference between the retina and superfusate. The magnitude of the reduction in the pH gradient correlated with the extent of energy metabolism suppression. We also examined whether the circadian-induced increase in acid production during the subjective night results from an increase in energy metabolism or from the selective activation of glycolysis compared with oxidative phosphorylation. We found that the selective suppression of either oxidative phosphorylation or glycolysis had almost identical effects on the dynamics and extent of H+ production during the subjective day and night. Thus the proportion of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation is maintained the same regardless of circadian time, and the pH difference between the tissue and superfusion solution can therefore be used to evaluate total energy production. We conclude that circadian clock regulation of retinal pH reflects circadian regulation of retinal energy metabolism.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Organic anion transporters (OATs) 1 and 3 are, besides being uptake transporters, key in several cellular metabolic pathways. The underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Hence, we used human conditionally immortalized proximal tubule epithelial cells (ciPTEC) overexpressing OAT1 or OAT3 to gain insight into these mechanisms. In ciPTEC-OAT1 and -OAT3, extracellular lactate levels were decreased (by 77% and 71%, respectively), while intracellular ATP levels remained unchanged, suggesting a shift towards an oxidative phenotype upon OAT1 or OAT3 overexpression. This was confirmed by increased respiration of ciPTEC-OAT1 and -OAT3 (1.4-fold), a decreased sensitivity to respiratory inhibition, and characterized by a higher demand on mitochondrial oxidative capacity. In-depth profiling of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites revealed reduced levels of intermediates converging into α-ketoglutarate in ciPTEC-OAT1 and -OAT3, which via 2-hydroxyglutarate metabolism explains the increased respiration. These interactions with TCA cycle metabolites were in agreement with metabolomic network modeling studies published earlier. Further studies using OAT or oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) inhibitors confirmed our idea that OATs are responsible for increased use and synthesis of α-ketoglutarate. In conclusion, our results indicate an increased α-ketoglutarate efflux by OAT1 and OAT3, resulting in a metabolic shift towards an oxidative phenotype.

Full textAbstract:
Fast-growing tumors satisfy their bioenergetic needs by supplementing glucose with alternative carbon sources. Cancer stem cells are the most versatile and robust cells within malignant tumors. They avoid potentially lethal metabolic and other types of stress through flexible reprogramming of relevant pathways, but it has remained unclear whether alternative carbon sources are important for the maintenance of their tumor-propagating ability. Here we assessed the ability of glycolytic and oxidative murine glioma stem cells (GSCs) to grow in an ultralow glucose medium. Sphere formation assays revealed that exogenous lactate and acetate reversed the growth impairment of oxidative GSCs in such medium. Extracellular flux analysis showed that lactate supported oxygen consumption in these cells, whereas metabolomics analysis revealed that it increased the intracellular levels of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, ATP, and GTP as well as increased adenylate and guanylate charge. Lactate also reversed the depletion of choline apparent in the glucose-deprived cells as well as reprogrammed phospholipid and fatty acid biosynthesis. This metabolic reprogramming was associated with a more aggressive phenotype of intracranial tumors formed by lactate-treated GSCs. Our results thus suggest that lactate is an important alternative energetic and biosynthetic substrate for oxidative GSCs, and that it sustains their growth under conditions of glucose deprivation.

Full textAbstract:
Tumors remodel their metabolism to support anabolic processes needed for replication, as well as to survive nutrient scarcity and oxidative stress imposed by their changing environment. In most healthy tissues, the shift from anabolism to catabolism results in decreased glycolysis and elevated fatty acid oxidation (FAO). This change in the nutrient selected for oxidation is regulated by the glucose-fatty acid cycle, also known as the Randle cycle. Briefly, this cycle consists of a decrease in glycolysis caused by increased mitochondrial FAO in muscle as a result of elevated extracellular fatty acid availability. Closing the cycle, increased glycolysis in response to elevated extracellular glucose availability causes a decrease in mitochondrial FAO. This competition between glycolysis and FAO and its relationship with anabolism and catabolism is conserved in some cancers. Accordingly, decreasing glycolysis to lactate, even by diverting pyruvate to mitochondria, can stop proliferation. Moreover, colorectal cancer cells can effectively shift to FAO to survive both glucose restriction and increases in oxidative stress at the expense of decreasing anabolism. However, a subset of B-cell lymphomas and other cancers require a concurrent increase in mitochondrial FAO and glycolysis to support anabolism and proliferation, thus escaping the competing nature of the Randle cycle. How mitochondria are remodeled in these FAO-dependent lymphomas to preferably oxidize fat, while concurrently sustaining high glycolysis and increasing de novo fatty acid synthesis is unclear. Here, we review studies focusing on the role of mitochondrial FAO and mitochondrial-driven lipid synthesis in cancer proliferation and survival, specifically in colorectal cancer and lymphomas. We conclude that a specific metabolic liability of these FAO-dependent cancers could be a unique remodeling of mitochondrial function that licenses elevated FAO concurrent to high glycolysis and fatty acid synthesis. In addition, blocking this mitochondrial remodeling could selectively stop growth of tumors that shifted to mitochondrial FAO to survive oxidative stress and nutrient scarcity.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Malignant cells evolve adaptive mechanisms to survive metabolic stress to drive progression. We previously described the stress sensor MondoA as promoting malignancy of common acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL). MondoA knockdown (MKD) in cALL cell lines xenografted into mice reduced the number of leukemic blasts compared to control cells (Sipol 2014). Next we investigated potential mechanisms of MondoA mediated malignancy. Microarray analyses of MKD cALL lines revealed an induction of glycolytic and hypoxia response associated gene sets. To validate and expand these results we generated cALL lines with MondoA knockout (MKO) via CRISPR/cas9 gene editing. Colony forming assays and direct cell counting demonstrated reduced proliferation of MKO cells under normoxic conditions compared to controls. However, under hypoxia, there was a diminished MondoA dependent growth advantage. This suggests that MondoA proficient cells may have a selective growth advantage in the presence of oxygen, and that MondoA might confer the ability to utilize oxidative phosphorylation and thus increase metabolic activity. We therefore measured mitochondrial respiration by determining oxygen consumption rates (OCR) in control and MKO cells using an extracellular flux analyzer. Surprisingly, MKO cells displayed a higher basal OCR as well as significantly increased extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and glycolysis. This suggested that MondoA might actually limit oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis in response to glucose. We therefore hypothesized that MondoA might remodel cALL metabolism towards an alternative energy source. Indeed, Kegg pathway analysis of microarray data showed upregulation of fatty acid synthesis (FAS) and fatty acid oxidation (FAO) genes by MondoA. This suggested that MondoA might facilitate sustained fatty acid metabolism to maintain high proliferative rates. Key regulators of citrate to oleate conversion, fatty acid elongation and cholesterol synthesis (ACLY, ELOVL5, ELOVL6, ELOVL1, FASN, HMGCR, HMGCS1) were stimulated by MondoA. Colorimetric assays demonstrated decreased NADPH and Acetyl-CoA levels corresponding to disregulated fatty acid metabolism by MKO. In addition, ROS measurements by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) using the spin trap CMH in the presence or absence of NADPH oxidase NOX2 inhibitory peptide gp91ds-Tat, a readout of NOX activity, demonstrated that MKO cells increase cytoplasmic ROS production, mediated by NOX2. Moreover, MondoA depleted leukemia cells generate more ROS in glutamine-restricted media. In summary, (1) MondoA increases leukemic cell proliferation under both normoxia and hypoxia; (2) MondoA increases metabolic activity, in particular fatty acid metabolism; and (3) MondoA decreases cytoplasmic ROS production in glutamine-deprived conditions. We conclude that MondoA has multiple functions in supporting malignancy of cALL, most likely by increasing fatty acid metabolism while simultaneously providing adaptation to oxidative stress.

Full textAbstract:
The blue autofluorescence (351 nm excitation, 450 nm emission) of single skeletal muscle fibers from Xenopus was characterized to be originating from mitochondrial NAD(P)H on the basis of morphological and functional correlations. This fluorescence signal was used to estimate the oxygen availability to isolated single Xenopus muscle fibers during work level transitions by confocal microscopy. Fibers were stimulated to generate two contractile periods that were only different in the Po2 of the solution perfusing the single fibers (Po2 of 30 or 0–2 Torr; pH = 7.2). During contractions, mean cellular NAD(P)H increased significantly from rest in the low Po2 condition with the core (inner 10%) increasing to a greater extent than the periphery (outer 10%). After the cessation of work, NAD(P)H decreased in a manner consistent with oxygen tensions sufficient to oxidize the surplus NAD(P)H. In contrast, NAD(P)H decreased significantly with work in 30 Torr Po2. However, the rate of NAD(P)H oxidation was slower and significantly increased with the cessation of work in the core of the fiber compared with the peripheral region, consistent with a remaining limitation in oxygen availability. These results suggest that the blue autofluorescence signal in Xenopus skeletal muscle fibers is from mitochondrial NAD(P)H and that the rate of NAD(P)H oxidation within the cell is influenced by extracellular Po2 even at high extracellular Po2 during the contraction cycle. These results also demonstrate that although oxygen availability influences the rate of NAD(P)H oxidation, it does not prevent NAD(P)H from being oxidized through the process of oxidative phosphorylation at the onset of contractions.

Full textAbstract:
Women live approximately one-third of their lives in postmenopause. Among postmenopausal women, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases. These conditions promote alterations in the oxidative, metabolic, and immune-inflammatory profiles marked by higher extracellular 72 kDa-heat shock protein (eHSP72). Here, we investigated whether the time of menopause is associated with oxidative cellular stress marker levels in postmenopausal women with DM2. Sixty-four women were recruited ( 56.7 ± 12.6 years old) in the pre- ( n = 22 ) and postmenopause ( n = 42 ) period, with ( n = 19 ) or without DM2 ( n = 45 ), and a fasting blood collection was made for the evaluation of metabolic, oxidative, and inflammatory markers. We found that menopause and DM2 influenced metabolic and oxidative parameters and presented synergistic effects on the plasma lipoperoxidation levels. Also, postmenopausal women had the highest eHSP72 concentration levels associated with the years in postmenopause. We conclude that the time of menopause impacts the markers of cellular stress and increases the risk of oxidative stress, mainly when it is associated with DM2.

In the past five years, a case for oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) has been convincingly made. That link owes most of its existence to the microscopic detection of neuronal oxidative damage. Focusing on damage not only has the advantage that stable products are studied, rather than short-lived radicals, but also that damage can be morphologically defined. This latter aspect is critical since biochemical analysis of whole tissue is mostly of the accumulated damage from normal metabolism with aging of long-lived polymers in the extracellular matrix (Figure 1). The importance of damage is that it is the result most likely to be linked to pathology. Driven by the hypothesis that oxidative damage plays a role in the aggregation of insoluble protein in the lesions of Alzheimer disease, neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques, we developed reagents to detect protein modifications related to glycoxidation, lipid peroxidation, peroxynitrite, free carbonyls and carbonyl-modification (Figure 2).

We have previously shown that adult rat offspring born intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) as a result of a prenatal hypoxic insult exhibit several cardiovascular characteristics that are compatible with common manifestations of chronic iron toxicity. As hypoxia is one of the major regulators of iron absorption and metabolism, we hypothesized that hypoxia-induced IUGR offspring will have long-term changes in their ability to regulate iron metabolism leading to myocardial iron deposition and induction of myocardial oxidative stress. Pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were randomized to control (n = 8) or maternal hypoxia (11.5% oxygen; n = 8) during the last 6 days of pregnancy. At birth, litters were reduced to eight pups (four male and four female). At 4 or 12 months of age, offspring were euthanatized and samples (blood and myocardium) were collected. In only the male offspring, IUGR and aging were associated with an increase in myocardial markers of oxidative stress such as oxidized/reduced glutathione ratio and malondialdehyde. Aged male IUGR offspring also exhibited interstitial myocardial remodeling characterized by myocyte loss and disrupted extracellular matrix.Contrary to our hypothesis, however, neither IUGR nor aging were associated with changes in any systemic or local markers of iron metabolism. Our results suggest that hypoxic insults leading to IUGR produce long-term effects on the levels of oxidative stress and connective tissue distribution in the myocardium of male but not female offspring.

Full textAbstract:
A key to turtle brain survival during anoxia is continued ion transport and avoidance of anoxic depolarization. Previous findings that ATP concentration remained constant during prolonged anoxia and calculations that ATP production decreased indicate that compensatory processes, other than consumption of energy stores or increased anaerobic glycolysis, must also contribute to ion homeostasis and brain survival. To determine whether preservation of ion transport is associated with changes in electrophysiology during loss of oxidative metabolism, the brains of pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized turtles were electrically stimulated 1) to provoke measurable increments in extracellular K+ activity (a degrees k) for determination of rates of K+ reaccumulation at the stimulus site and 2) to elicit polysynaptic extracellular field potentials (evoked potentials) recordable in the olfactory bulb. During anoxia, base-line a degrees k rose only a few millimolar, and rates of reaccumulation of K+, incremented by stimulation were slightly but not significantly slowed. In contrast, postsynaptic orthodromic responses of olfactory bulb granule cells were markedly depressed by anoxia. Monosynaptic responses of granule cells to antidromic stimulation of the lateral olfactory tract were less affected, and compound action potentials in the olfactory nerve were unchanged by anoxia. These data suggest that synaptic transmission in turtle brain, as in that of mammal, is highly dependent on oxidative metabolism and that the turtle brain may effectively conserve energy for ion transport during anoxia by depression of electrical activity.

Abstract. The respiratory release of CO2 from soils is a major determinant of the global carbon cycle. It is traditionally considered that this respiration is an intracellular metabolism consisting of complex biochemical reactions carried out by numerous enzymes and co-factors. Here we show that the endoenzymes released from dead organisms are stabilised in soils and have access to suitable substrates and co-factors to permit function. These enzymes reconstitute an extracellular oxidative metabolism (EXOMET) that may substantially contribute to soil respiration (16 to 48% of CO2 released from soils in the present study). EXOMET and respiration from living organisms should be considered separately when studying effects of environmental factors on the C cycle because EXOMET shows specific properties such as resistance to high temperature and toxic compounds.

Therefore, we investigated the role of ME1 in tumor budding in OSCC. Tumor budding was measured in 96 human OSCCs by immunostaining for an epithelial marker (AE1/AE3), and its expression was compared with that of ME1. A significant correlation was observed between tumor budding and ME1 expression. The correlation increased with the progression of cancer. In human OSCC cells, lactate secretion decreased when lactate fermentation was suppressed by knockdown of ME1 and lactate dehydrogenase A or inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) kinase. Furthermore, the extracellular pH increased, and the EMT phenotype was suppressed. In contrast, when oxidative phosphorylation was suppressed by PDH knockdown, lactate secretion increased, extracellular pH decreased, and the EMT phenotype was promoted. Induction of chemical hypoxia in OSCC cells by CoCl2 treatment resulted in increased ME1 expression along with HIF1α expression and promotion of the EMT phenotype. Hypoxic conditions also increased matrix metalloproteinases expression and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial oxidative stress, and extracellular pH. Furthermore, the hypoxic treatment resulted in the activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP), which was abolished by ME1 knockdown. These findings suggest that cancer cells at the tumor front in hypoxic environments increase their lactate secretion by switching their energy metabolism from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis owing to ME1 overexpression, decrease in extracellular pH, and YAP activation. These alterations enhance EMT and the subsequent tumor budding. Tumor budding and ME1 expression are thus considered useful markers of OSCC malignancy, and ME1 is expected to be a relevant target for molecular therapy.

To determine whether fructose can be utilized as a metabolic substrate for skeletal muscle in man, we investigated its incorporation into glycogen, its oxidation and lactate production in isolated human skeletal muscle. Rates of fructose oxidation and incorporation into glycogen increased in the presence of increasing fructose concentrations (0.1-1.0 mM). Lactate production increased 3-fold when extracellular fructose was increased from 0.1 to 0.5 mM. Cytochalasin B, a competitive inhibitor of hexose transport mediated by the GLUT1 and GLUT4 facilitative glucose transporters, completely inhibited insulin-stimulated glucose incorporation into glycogen and glucose oxidation (P < 0.01), but did not alter fructose incorporation into glycogen or fructose oxidation. Insulin (1000 mu-units/ml) increased glucose incorporation into glycogen 2.7-fold and glucose oxidation 2.3-fold, whereas no effect on fructose incorporation into glycogen or fructose oxidation was noted. A physiological concentration of glucose (5 mM) decreased the rate of 0.5 mM fructose incorporation into glycogen by 60% (P < 0.001), whereas fructose oxidation was not altered in the presence of 5 mM glucose. Irrespective of fructose concentration, the majority of fructose taken up underwent non-oxidative metabolism. Lactate production accounted for approx. 80% of the fructose metabolism in the basal state and approx. 70% in the insulin (1000 mu-units/ml)-stimulated state. In the presence of 5 mM glucose, physiological concentrations of fructose could account for approximately 10-30% of hexose (glucose + fructose) incorporation into glycogen under non-insulin-stimulated conditions. In conclusion, fructose appears to be transported into human skeletal muscle via a carrier-mediated system that does not involve GLUT4 or GLUT1. Furthermore, under physiological conditions, fructose can significantly contribute to carbohydrate metabolism in human skeletal muscle.

Full textAbstract:
Metabolic responses (rates of CO2 production from 14C-labelled glucose or lactate, and total O2 consumption) of red blood cells were monitored in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at rest and during 12 h of recovery from exhaustive exercise. Extracellular acid-base status, red blood cell intracellular pH (pHi), and plasma metabolite and catecholamine levels were recorded simultaneously. Despite a post-exercise rise in plasma glucose level, glucose oxidation was depressed, at least partly because of a rise in plasma lactate level. However, lactate oxidation was stimulated markedly, especially at 0–2 h post-exercise. Subsequent multifactorial experiments in vitro demonstrated that augmentation of lactate oxidation was due partly to increased plasma lactate, and partly to separate stimulatory effects of elevated PCO2 and catecholamine levels. Changes in pH and HCO3- level were not directly involved, but the stimulatory effects of catecholamines occurred only under acidotic conditions. Total red cell O2 consumption (MO2) remained generally stable after exercise. Similar multifactorial experiments in vitro demonstrated that respiratory, metabolic and mixed acidoses all inhibited MO2, an effect largely attributable to the lowered pH. This inhibition was reversed by typical post-exercise levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine; again, catecholamines had no effect under control conditions. Red cell pHi regulation was achieved without an increase in MO2 above resting levels. Our results indicate a complex sensitivity of red cell metabolism to acid-base status and a shift in substrate preference for oxidation after strenuous exercise. The mobilization of catecholamines plays an important coordinating role and helps sustain normal rates of oxidative metabolism by red cells in the face of post-exercise blood acidosis.

Abstract Aurora kinase A (AURKA) has emerged as a viable drug target for glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults with a life expectancy of 12-15 months. However, resistance to therapy remains a critical issue, which partially may be driven by reprogramming of metabolism. By integration of transcriptome, chromatin immunoprecipitation with sequencing (CHIP-seq.), assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq.), proteomic and metabolite screening followed by carbon tracing (U-13C-Glucose, U-13C-Glutamine and U-13C-Palmitic acid) and extracellular flux analysis we provided evidence that genetic (shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9) and pharmacological (Alisertib) AURKA inhibition elicited substantial metabolic reprogramming mediated in part by inhibition of MYC targets and concomitant activation of PPARA (e.g. PGC1A) signaling. While glycolysis was suppressed by AURKA inhibition, we noted a compensatory increase in oxygen consumption rate (OCR) fueled by fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Whereas interference with AURKA elicited a suppression of c-Myc, we detected an upregulation of PGC1A, a master regulator of oxidative metabolism, upon AURKA inhibition. Silencing of PGC1A reversed the increase in OCR and sensitized GBM cells to AURKA inhibition mediated reduction in cellular viability. CHIP experiments confirmed binding of c-Myc to the promoter region of PGC1A, which is abrogated by AURKA inhibition and in turn unleashed PGC1A expression. ATAC-seq. confirmed higher accessibility of the MYC binding region within the PGC1A promoter. Forced expression of c-Myc blocked AURKA inhibition mediated increase of PGC1A, suggesting that c-Myc acted as a repressor. To interfere with this oxidative metabolic reprogramming, we combined AURKA inhibitors with blockers of FAO (etomoxir), which elicited substantial synergistic growth inhibition and extension of overall survival in orthotopic patient derived xenografts of GBM in mice without induction of toxicity in normal tissue. Taken together, these data support that simultaneous targeting of oxidative metabolism and AURKA inhibition might be a potential novel therapy against GBM.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Significant improvements in myocardial structure and function have been reported in some patients with advanced heart failure (termed responders [R]) following left ventricular assist device (LVAD)–induced mechanical unloading. This therapeutic strategy may alter myocardial energy metabolism in a manner that reverses the deleterious metabolic adaptations of the failing heart. Specifically, our previous work demonstrated a post-LVAD dissociation of glycolysis and oxidative-phosphorylation characterized by induction of glycolysis without subsequent increase in pyruvate oxidation through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The underlying mechanisms responsible for this dissociation are not well understood. We hypothesized that the accumulated glycolytic intermediates are channeled into cardioprotective and repair pathways, such as the pentose-phosphate pathway and 1-carbon metabolism, which may mediate myocardial recovery in R. Methods: We prospectively obtained paired left ventricular apical myocardial tissue from nonfailing donor hearts as well as R and nonresponders at LVAD implantation (pre-LVAD) and transplantation (post-LVAD). We conducted protein expression and metabolite profiling and evaluated mitochondrial structure using electron microscopy. Results: Western blot analysis shows significant increase in rate-limiting enzymes of pentose-phosphate pathway and 1-carbon metabolism in post-LVAD R (post-R) as compared with post-LVAD nonresponders (post-NR). The metabolite levels of these enzyme substrates, such as sedoheptulose-6-phosphate (pentose phosphate pathway) and serine and glycine (1-carbon metabolism) were also decreased in Post-R. Furthermore, post-R had significantly higher reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate levels, reduced reactive oxygen species levels, improved mitochondrial density, and enhanced glycosylation of the extracellular matrix protein, α-dystroglycan, all consistent with enhanced pentose-phosphate pathway and 1-carbon metabolism that correlated with the observed myocardial recovery. Conclusions: The recovering heart appears to direct glycolytic metabolites into pentose-phosphate pathway and 1-carbon metabolism, which could contribute to cardioprotection by generating reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate to enhance biosynthesis and by reducing oxidative stress. These findings provide further insights into mechanisms responsible for the beneficial effect of glycolysis induction during the recovery of failing human hearts after mechanical unloading.

Platelets (PLTs) deteriorate over time when stored within blood banks through a biological process known as PLT storage lesion (PSL). Here, we describe the refinement of the biochemical model of PLT metabolism, iAT-PLT-636, and its application to describe and investigate changes in metabolism during PLT storage. Changes in extracellular acetate and citrate were measured in buffy coat and apheresis PLT units over 10 days of storage in the PLT additive solution T-Sol. Metabolic network analysis of these data was performed alongside our prior metabolomics data to describe the metabolism of fresh (days 1–3), intermediate (days 4–6), and expired (days 7–10) PLTs. Changes in metabolism were studied by comparing metabolic model flux predictions of iAT-PLT-636 between stages and between collection methods. Extracellular acetate and glucose contribute most to central carbon metabolism in PLTs. The anticoagulant citrate is metabolized in apheresis-stored PLTs and is converted into aconitate and, to a lesser degree, malate. The consumption of nutrients changes during storage and reflects altered PLT activation profiles following their collection. Irrespective of the collection method, a slowdown in oxidative phosphorylation takes place, consistent with mitochondrial dysfunction during PSL. Finally, the main contributors to intracellular ammonium and NADPH are highlighted. Future optimization of flux through these pathways provides opportunities to address intracellular pH changes and reactive oxygen species, which are both of importance to PSL. The metabolic models provide descriptions of PLT metabolism at steady state and represent a platform for future PLT metabolic research.

Full textAbstract:
Metabolic reprogramming promotes glioblastoma cell migration and invasion. Integrin αvβ3 is one of the major integrin family members in glioblastoma multiforme cell surface mediating interactions with extracellular matrix proteins that are important for glioblastoma progression. The role of αvβ3 integrin in regulating metabolic reprogramming and its mechanism of action have not been determined in glioblastoma cells. Integrin αvβ3 engagement with osteopontin promotes glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis, while inhibiting mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Blocking or downregulation of integrin αvβ3 inhibits glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis and promotes mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in decreased migration and growth in glioblastoma cells. Pharmacological inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) or downregulation of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) blocks metabolic shift toward glycolysis and inhibits glioblastoma cell migration and invasion. These results support that integrin αvβ3 and osteopontin engagement plays an important role in promoting the metabolic shift toward glycolysis and inhibiting mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation in glioblastoma cells. The metabolic shift in cell energy metabolism is coupled to changes in migration, invasion, and growth, which are mediated by downstream FAK and PRMT5 in glioblastoma cells.

Considerable interest has developed in defining how imposed stimuli effect dynamic changes in cellular metabolism. We have developed a miniature perifusion system that can reveal alterations in extracellular protons within seconds after application of metabolic perturbants. This perifusion system contains two pH sensors: one before the cells records changes between medium and test solutions, and one, located just past the cells, records these alterations plus cellular modifications. Because distortion occurs as chemicals pass through perifusion systems, the shape of pH changes induced by switching from medium to test solutions is different at each electrode. This study describes and validates convolution to correct this distortion. Data from HeLa cells exposed to the metabolic uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone have been analyzed with convolution. Cellular response to oxidative phosphorylation removal is comprised of multiple components, is consistent with a rapid uncoupling, and is followed by cellular adaptation. Therefore convolutional analysis can provide an important adjunct to the analysis of data acquired by perifusion and can provide new insights into cellular responsiveness and metabolism.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The klotho gene functions as an aging-suppressor gene that extends life span when overexpressed and accelerates aging-like phenotypes when disrupted in mice. The klotho gene encodes a single-pass transmembrane protein that binds to multiple fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptors and functions as a co-receptor for FGF23, a bone-derived hormone that suppresses phosphate reabsorption and vitamin D biosynthesis in the kidney. In addition, the extracellular domain of Klotho protein is shed and secreted, potentially functioning as a humoral factor. The secreted Klotho protein can regulate multiple growth factor signaling pathways, including insulin/IGF-1 and Wnt, and the activity of multiple ion channels. Klotho protein also protects cells and tissues from oxidative stress, yet the precise mechanism underlying these activities remains to be determined. Thus, understanding of Klotho protein function is expected to provide new insights into the molecular basis for aging, phosphate/vitamin D metabolism, cancer and stem cell biology.

Although Ca2+is an important regulator of energy metabolism, the effects of increasing extracellular [Ca2+] on energy substrate preference are not clear. We determined the relationship between [Ca2+], fatty acids, and ischemia on rates of glycolysis, glucose oxidation, and palmitate oxidation in isolated working rat hearts. Hearts were perfused with Krebs–Henseleit buffer containing 11 mM glucose, 100 μU/mL insulin, and either 1.25 or 2.5 mM Ca2+, in the presence or absence of 1.2 mM palmitate. Rates of glycolysis and glucose oxidation or palmitate oxidation were measured in the hearts using [5-3H,14C(U)]glucose or [1-14C]palmitate, respectively. In the absence of fatty acids, glycolysis and glucose oxidation rates were similar, regardless of whether [Ca2+] was 1.25 or 2.5 mM. Addition of 1.2 mM palmitate to the perfusate of hearts perfused with 1.25 mM Ca2+significantly decreased rates of both glycolysis (from 4623 ± 438 to 1378 ± 238 nmol∙min−1∙g−1dry weight) and glucose oxidation (from 1392 ± 219 to 114 ± 22 nmol∙min−1∙g−1dry weight). When [Ca2+] was increased from 1.25 to 2.5 mM in hearts perfused with 1.2 mM palmitate, glycolysis and glucose oxidation increased by 164 and 271%, respectively, with no change in palmitate oxidation rates. Increasing [Ca2+] from 1.25 to 2.5 mM increased the contribution of glucose to ATP production from 9.3 to 18.7%. When hearts were subjected to low-flow ischemia (by reducing coronary flow to 0.5 mL∙min−1) oxidative metabolism was essentially abolished. Under these conditions, glycolytic rates were not dependent on either [Ca2+] or the presence or absence of fatty acids. These results demonstrate that perfusate [Ca2+] is an important determinant of myocardial glucose metabolism in aerobic hearts, and that glycolysis and glucose oxidation are more responsive to changes in [Ca2+] than is fatty acid oxidation.Key words: β-oxidation, glucose oxidation, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

Full textAbstract:
Carbon monoxide (CO) is known to be a toxic molecule due to the high affinity of hemoglobin for it. However, it has recently been shown that low doses of CO may play a physiological role. The aim of the present study was to examine processes occurring in the brain during exposure to 1,000 parts per million CO that result in an increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) but are not accompanied by changes in oxidation metabolism. This study was carried out in awake rats with the multiprobe assembly developed in this laboratory for the simultaneous continuous measurement of CBF, intramitochondrial NADH redox levels, direct current potential, and extracellular concentrations of K+, Ca2+, and H+ as well as the electrocorticogram. Exposure to 1,000 parts per million CO in air resulted in an increased CBF without any concomitant changes in any of the other metabolic or ionic parameters measured. This indicates that tissue hypoxia was not the trigger for this vasodilation. Injection of N omega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, before exposure to CO effectively blocked the increase in CBF that was observed when the animal was exposed to CO without prior injection of L-NNA. Furthermore, electrocorticographic depression was observed after the combined treatment of L-NNA and CO. In conclusion, exposure to relatively low doses of CO apparently does not have a deleterious effect on oxidative metabolism because the increase in CBF after this exposure is sufficient to prevent changes in oxidative metabolism, as indicated by the fact that NADH levels remained constant. This protective autoregulatory effect may be mediated by nitric oxide.
