A novel BMP2 secretagogue ameliorates glucocorticoid induced oxidative stress in osteoblasts by activating NRF2 dependent survival while promoting Wnt/ β-catenin mediated osteogenesis
Free Radic Biol Med. 2022 Aug 10:S0891-5849(22)00514-7. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2022.08.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn our previous study, a novel BMP2 secretagogue was synthesized belonging to a class of galloyl conjugates of flavanones, with remarkable osteogenic potential that promoted bone regeneration. We aimed to establish the protective effect of our compound against bone loss that co-exists with excess Glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. GC therapy induces osteoblast damage leading to apoptosis by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our results delineate that compound 5e (a BMP2 secretagogue) activates N...

A novel synthetic peptide SVHRSP attenuates dopaminergic neurodegeneration by inhibiting NADPH oxidase-mediated neuroinflammation in experimental models of Parkinson's disease
This study was conducted to explore the protective effects of SVHRSP, a synthetic heat-resistant peptide derived from scorpion venom, against dopaminergic neurodegeneration in experimental models of PD. Results showed that SVHRSP dose-dependently reduced the loss of dopaminergic neuron in the nigrostriatal pathway and motor impairments in both rotenone and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine/probenecid (MPTP/p)-induced mouse PD models. Microglial activation and imbalance of M1/M2 polarization were also abrogated by SVHRSP in both models. In rotenone-treated primary midbrain neuron-glial cultures, loss of dopaminer...

The p53/NF-kappaB-dependent induction of sestrin2 by amyloid-beta peptides exerts antioxidative actions in neurons
Free Radic Biol Med. 2021 Apr 11:S0891-5849(21)00206-9. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2021.04.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAccumulation of senile plaques mainly composed of neurotoxic amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sestrin2 inducible by various types of stressors is known to promote autophagy and exert antioxidative effects. In this work, we revealed the molecular mechanisms underlying Aβ induction of sestrin2 and tested whether antioxidation, in addition to autophagy regulation, also contributes to its neuroprotective effects in primary rat cortical neurons. We fou...

LRRC8A contributes to angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy by interacting with NADPH oxidases via the C-terminal leucine-rich repeat domain.
Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy, an important cause of heart failure, is characterized by an increase in heart weight, the ventricular wall, and cardiomyocyte volume. The volume regulatory anion channel (VRAC) is an important regulator of cell volume. However, its role in cardiac hypertrophy remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of leucine-rich repeat-containing 8A (LRRC8A), an essential component of the VRAC, on angiotensin II (AngII)-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Our results showed that LRRC8A expression, NADPH oxidase activity, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were inc...

Angelica dahurica promoted angiogenesis and accelerated wound healing in db/db mice via the HIF-1 α/PDGF-β signaling pathway.
In this study, we found that Angelica dahurica (A. dahurica) stimulated angiogenesis and benefited wound healing in genetic mouse models of diabetes. In HUVECs, A. dahurica promoted cell proliferation and tube formation, which was accompanied by increased nuclear translocation of HIF-1α under hypoxic conditions and led to elevated PDGF-β protein expression. A. dahurica activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which was abrogated by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Furthermore, the cellular expression of PDGF-β decreased significantly after treatment with a HIF-1α-siRNA, a...

The uricosuric benzbromarone disturbs the mitochondrial redox homeostasis and activates the NRF2 signaling pathway in HepG2 cells.
In conclusion, benzbromarone increases mitochondrial O2•- accumulation and activates the NRF2 signaling pathway in HepG2 cells, thereby strengthening the cytosolic and mitochondrial antioxidative defense. Impaired antioxidative defense may represent a risk factor for benzbromarone-induced hepatotoxicity.

PMA-triggered PKCε activity enhances Nrf2-mediated antiviral response on fish rhabdovirus infection
Publication date: April 2019Source: Fish & Shellfish Immunology, Volume 87Author(s): Yun-Fei Dang, Tian-Xiu Qiu, Da-Wei Song, Lei LiuAbstractViral infection is often accompanied with alteration of intracellular redox state, especially an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant cellular defenses. The previous studies showed that an antioxidant cellular defense system, the transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), played an important role against spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) infection in fish. To further reveal the mediated mechanism that Nrf2 active s...
