Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin (EDN/Rnase 2) and the Mouse Eosinophil-Associated Rnases (Mears): Expanding Roles in Promoting Host Defense
Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2015, 16, 15442-15455; doi:10.3390/ijms160715442 OPEN ACCESS International Journal of Molecular Sciences ISSN 1422-0067 www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms Review Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin (EDN/RNase 2) and the Mouse Eosinophil-Associated RNases (mEars): Expanding Roles in Promoting Host Defense Helene F.

While EDN has broad antiviral activity, targeting RNA viruses via mechanisms that may require enzymatic activity, more recent studies have elucidated how these RNases may generate host defense via roles in promoting leukocyte activation, maturation, and chemotaxis. This review provides an update on recent discoveries, and highlights the versatility of this family in promoting innate immunity. Keywords: inflammation; leukocyte; evolution; chemoattractant 1. Introduction The eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN/RNase 2) is one of the four major secretory proteins found in the specific granules of the human eosinophilic leukocyte (Figure 1). EDN, and its more highly charged and cytotoxic paralog, the eosinophil cationic protein (ECP/RNase 3) are released from eosinophil granules when these cells are activated by cytokines and other proinflammatory mediators [1,2]. -

Read Full License Page 1/21 Abstract Background Individuals with diabetes are exposed to a higher risk of perioperative stroke than non- diabetics mainly due to persistent hyperglycemia. lncRNA-MEG3 (long non-coding RNA maternally expressed gene 3) has been considered as an important mediator in regulating ischemic stroke. However, the functional and regulatory roles of lncRNA-MEG3 in diabetic brain ischemic injury remain unclear. Results In this study, RBMVECs (the rat brain microvascular endothelial cells) were exposed to 6 h of OGD (oxygen and glucose deprivation), and subsequent reperfusion via incubating cells with glucose of various high concentrations for 24 h to imitate in vitro diabetic brain ischemic injury. It was shown that the marker events of ferroptosis and increased lncRNA-MEG3 expression occurred after the injury induced by OGD combined with hyperglycemic treatment. -

Role of Oxidative Stress and Nrf2/KEAP1 Signaling in Colorectal Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives with Phytochemicals
antioxidants Review Role of Oxidative Stress and Nrf2/KEAP1 Signaling in Colorectal Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives with Phytochemicals Da-Young Lee, Moon-Young Song and Eun-Hee Kim * College of Pharmacy and Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, CHA University, Seongnam 13488, Korea; [email protected] (D.-Y.L.); [email protected] (M.-Y.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-31-881-7179 Abstract: Colorectal cancer still has a high incidence and mortality rate, according to a report from the American Cancer Society. Colorectal cancer has a high prevalence in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Oxidative stress, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation, has been known to cause inflammatory diseases and malignant disorders. In particular, the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/Kelch-like ECH-related protein 1 (KEAP1) pathway is well known to protect cells from oxidative stress and inflammation. Nrf2 was first found in the homolog of the hematopoietic transcription factor p45 NF-E2, and the transcription factor Nrf2 is a member of the Cap ‘N’ Collar family. KEAP1 is well known as a negative regulator that rapidly degrades Nrf2 through the proteasome system. A range of evidence has shown that consumption of phytochemicals has a preventive or inhibitory effect on cancer progression or proliferation, depending on the stage of colorectal cancer. Therefore, the discovery of phytochemicals regulating the Nrf2/KEAP1 axis and Citation: Lee, D.-Y.; Song, M.-Y.; verification of their efficacy have attracted scientific attention. In this review, we summarize the role Kim, E.-H.

Programmed Cell-Death by Ferroptosis: Antioxidants As Mitigators

Latunde-Dada 2,* 1 Nutrition and Obesity Group, Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), 01006 Vitoria, Spain; [email protected] 2 King’s College London, Department of Nutritional Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, Franklin-Wilkins Building, 150 Stamford Street, London SE1 9NH, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 9 September 2019; Accepted: 2 October 2019; Published: 8 October 2019 Abstract: Iron, the fourth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, is vital in living organisms because of its diverse ligand-binding and electron-transfer properties. This ability of iron in the redox cycle as a ferrous ion enables it to react with H2O2, in the Fenton reaction, to produce a hydroxyl radical ( OH)—one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause deleterious oxidative damage • to DNA, proteins, and membrane lipids. Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic regulated cell death that is dependent on iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is characterized by lipid peroxidation. It is triggered when the endogenous antioxidant status of the cell is compromised, leading to lipid ROS accumulation that is toxic and damaging to the membrane structure. Consequently, oxidative stress and the antioxidant levels of the cells are important modulators of lipid peroxidation that induce this novel form of cell death. Remedies capable of averting iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, therefore, are lipophilic antioxidants, including vitamin E, ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) and possibly potent bioactive polyphenols. -
Selective Defect in Myeloid Cell Lactoferrin Gene Expression in Neutrophil Specific Granule Deficiency
Selective defect in myeloid cell lactoferrin gene expression in neutrophil specific granule deficiency. K J Lomax, … , L A Boxer, H L Malech J Clin Invest. 1989;83(2):514-519. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113912. Research Article Neutrophil specific granule deficiency (SGD) is a congenital disorder associated with an impaired inflammatory response and a deficiency of several granule proteins. The underlying abnormality causing the deficiencies is unknown. We examined mRNA transcription and protein synthesis of two neutrophil granule proteins, lactoferrin and myeloperoxidase in SGD. Metabolically labeled SGD nucleated marrow cells produced normal amounts of myeloperoxidase, but there was no detectable synthesis of lactoferrin. Transcripts of the expected size for lactoferrin were detectable in the nucleated marrow cells of two SGD patients, but were markedly diminished in abundance when compared with normal nucleated marrow cell RNA. Because lactoferrin is secreted by the glandular epithelia of several tissues, we also assessed lactoferrin in the nasal secretions of one SGD patient by ELISA and immunoblotting. Nasal secretory lactoferrin was the same molecular weight as neutrophil lactoferrin and was secreted in normal amounts. From these data, we conclude that lactoferrin deficiency in SGD neutrophils is tissue specific and is secondary to an abnormality of RNA production. We speculate that the deficiency of several granule proteins is due to a common defect in regulation of transcription that is responsible for the abnormal myeloid differentiation seen in SGD patients.

Myeloperoxidase-Mediated Platelet Release Reaction
Myeloperoxidase-Mediated Platelet Release Reaction Robert A. Clark J Clin Invest. 1979;63(2):177-183. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI109287. Research Article The ability of the neutrophil myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-halide system to induce the release of human platelet constituents was examined. Both lytic and nonlytic effects on platelets were assessed by comparison of the simultaneously measured release of a dense-granule marker, [3H]serotonin, and a cytoplasmic marker, [14C]adenine. Incubation of platelets with H2O2 alone (20 μM H2O2 for 10 min) resulted in a small, although significant, release of both serotonin and adenine, suggesting some platelet lysis. Substantial release of these markers was observed only with increased H2O2 concentrations (>0.1 mM) or prolonged incubation (1-2 h). Serotonin release by H2O2 was markedly enhanced by the addition of myeloperoxidase and a halide. Under these conditions, there was a predominance of release of serotonin (50%) vs. adenine (13%), suggesting, in part, a nonlytic mechanism. Serotonin release by the complete peroxidase system was rapid, reaching maximal levels in 2-5 min, and was active at H2O2 concentrations as low as 10 μM. It was blocked by agents which inhibit peroxidase (azide, cyanide), 2+ degrade H2O2 (catalase), chelate Mg (EDTA, but not EGTA), or inhibit platelet metabolic activity (dinitrophenol, deoxyglucose). These results suggest that the myeloperoxidase system initiates the release of platelet constituents primarily by a nonlytic process analogous to the platelet release reaction. Because components of the peroxidase system (myeloperoxidase, H2O2) are secreted by activated neutrophils, the reactions described here […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/109287/pdf Myeloperoxidase-Mediated Platelet Release Reaction ROBERT A. -
The Impact of Hypoxia on Neutrophil Degranulation and Consequences for the Host

Condliffe 3,* 1 Faculty of Medicine, National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, London SW3 6LY, UK; [email protected] (K.M.L.); [email protected] (A.S.C.) 2 Department of Medicine, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 0SP, UK; [email protected] 3 Department of Infection, Immunity and Cardiovascular Diseases, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2RX, UK * Correspondence: a.m.condliffe@sheffield.ac.uk Received: 13 January 2020; Accepted: 8 February 2020; Published: 11 February 2020 Abstract: Neutrophils are key effector cells of innate immunity, rapidly recruited to defend the host against invading pathogens. Neutrophils may kill pathogens intracellularly, following phagocytosis, or extracellularly, by degranulation and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps; all of these microbicidal strategies require the deployment of cytotoxic proteins and proteases, packaged during neutrophil development within cytoplasmic granules. Neutrophils operate in infected and inflamed tissues, which can be profoundly hypoxic. Neutrophilic infiltration of hypoxic tissues characterises a myriad of acute and chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases, and as well as potentially protecting the host from pathogens, neutrophil granule products have been implicated in causing collateral tissue damage in these scenarios. This review discusses the evidence for the enhanced secretion of destructive neutrophil granule contents observed in hypoxic environments and the potential mechanisms for this heightened granule exocytosis, highlighting implications for the host. Understanding the dichotomy of the beneficial and detrimental consequences of neutrophil degranulation in hypoxic environments is crucial to inform potential neutrophil-directed therapeutics in order to limit persistent, excessive, or inappropriate inflammation. -
Leukocyte Adhesion Receptors Are Stored in Peroxidase-Negative Granules of Human Neutrophils
LEUKOCYTE ADHESION RECEPTORS ARE STORED IN PEROXIDASE-NEGATIVE GRANULES OF HUMAN NEUTROPHILS BY DOROTHY F. BAINTON, LINDA J. MILLER, T. K. KISHIMOTO, AND TIMOTHY A. SPRINGER From the Department ofPathology, University ofCalifornia School ofMedicine, San Francisco, California 94143; and the Laboratory ofMembrane Immunochemistry, Dana- Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115 Downloaded from Leukocytes must interact with vascular endothelial cells to be able to migrate from the circulation to sites of inflammation. These cellular adhesion reactions are mediated, in part, by surface molecules that belong to a family ofstructurally related glycoproteins: Mac-1, p150,95, and lymphocyte function-associated an- www.jem.org tigen I (LFA-1)' (1). These proteins are composed of noncovalently linked a/o heterodimers that have distinct a subunits with Mr of 170,000 (Mac-1, CD 1 I b), 150,000 (pl50,95, CDllc), and 180,000 (LFA-1, CDlla). The ,Q subunit (CD18), Mr 95,000, has been shown to be identical in all three proteins by on December 6, 2004 physicochemical, immunochemical, and protein sequencing studies, and homol- ogous to several adhesion receptors in other cell types (2, 3). The importance of this family of surface proteins in leukocyte function is underscored by the existence of a human genetic disease termed leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD). Patients with LAD are deficient in expression of all of these proteins and suffer from recurrent life-threatening bacterial infections because their leuko- cytes do not adhere to and migrate between endothelial cells to form an acute inflammatory exudate (1). While LFA-1 appears on the cell surface very early in the maturation of neutrophils and monocytes, Mac- I and p150,95 are found on more mature cells (4-6). -

Kinetics of Interconversion of Redox Intermediates of Lactoperoxidase
Jpn. J. Infect. Dis., 57, 2004 Kinetics of Interconversion of Redox Intermediates of Lactoperoxidase, Eosinophil Peroxidase and Myeloperoxidase Paul Georg Furtmüller, Walter Jantschko, Martina Zederbauer, Christa Jakopitsch, Jürgen Arnhold1 and Christian Obinger* Metalloprotein Research Group, Division of Biochemistry, Department of Chemistry, BOKU-University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, 1Institute of Medical Physics and Biophysics, School of Medicine, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany SUMMARY: Myeloperoxidase, eosinophil peroxidase and lactoperoxidase are heme-containing oxidoreductases, which undergo a series of redox reactions. Though sharing functional and structural homology, reflecting their phylogenetic origin, differences are observed regarding their spectral features, substrate specificities, redox properties and kinetics of interconversion of the relevant redox intermediates ferric and ferrous peroxidase, compound I, compound II and compound III. Depending on substrate availability, these heme enzymes path through the halogenation cycle and/or the peroxidase cycle and/or act as poor (pseudo-) catalases. Today - based on sequence homologies, tertiary structure and the halide ions is the following: I– > Br– > Cl–. All peroxidases can nature of the heme group - two heme peroxidase superfamilies are oxidize iodide. At neutral pH, only MPO is capable to oxidize distinguished, namely the superfamily containing enzymes from chloride at a reasonable rate (4), and it is assumed that chloride and archaea, bacteria, fungi and plants (1) and the superfamily of thiocyanate are competing substrates in vivo. EPO can oxidize mammalian enzymes (2), which contains myeloperoxidase (MPO), chloride only at acidic pH (5), and at normal plasma concentrations, eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), lactoperoxidase (LPO) and thyroid bromide and thiocyanate function as substrates, whereas for LPO peroxidase (TPO).
