    Abstract Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) has important messenger and effector functions in the plant and animal kingdom. Phagocytes produce H(2)O(2) to kill pathogens, and epithelial cells of large airways have also been reported to produce H(2)O(2) for signaling and host defense purposes. In this report, we show for the first time that urothelial cells produce H(2)O(2) in response to a calcium signal. Using a gene-deficient mouse model we also demonstrate that H(2)O(2) is produced by the NADPH oxidase Duox1, which is expressed in the mouse urothelium. In contrast, we found no evidence for the expression of lactoperoxidase, an enzyme that has been shown to cooperate with Duox enzymes. We also found that specific activation of TRPV4 calcium channels elicits a calcium signal and stimulates H(2)O(2) production in urothelial cells. Furthermore, we detected altered pressure responses in the urinary bladders of Duox1 knockout animals. Our results raise the possibility that mechanosensing in epithelial cells involves calcium-dependent H(2)O(2) production similar to that observed in plants.

    Abstract Voltage-gated proton current (I(Hv)) has been characterized in several cell types, but the majority of the data was collected in phagocytes, especially in human granulocytes. The prevailing view about the role of I(Hv) in phagocytes is that it is an essential supporter of the intense and sustained activity of Nox2 (the core enzyme of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex) during respiratory burst. Recently H(v)1, a voltage-gated proton channel, was cloned, and leukocytes from H(v)1 knockout mice display impaired respiratory burst. On the other hand, hardly anything is known about H(v)1 in human granulocytes. Using qPCR and a self made antibody, we detected a significant amount of H(v)1 in human eosinophil and neutrophil granulocytes and in PLB-985 leukemia cells. Using different crosslinking agents and detergents in reducing and non-reducing PAGE, significant expression of H(v)1 homodimers, but not that of higher-order multimers, could be detected in granulocytes. Results of subcellular fractionation and confocal imaging indicate that H(v)1 is resident in both plasmalemmal and granular membrane compartments of resting neutrophils. Furthermore, it is also demonstrated that H(v)1 accumulates in phagosome wall during zymosan engulfment together with, but independently of Nox2. During granulocytic differentiation early and parallel upregulation of H(v)1 and Nox2 expression was observed in PLB-985 cells. The upregulation of H(v)1 or Nox2 expression did not require the normal expression of the other molecule. Using RNA interference, we obtained strong correlation between H(v)1 expression and I(Hv) density in PLB-985 cells. It is also demonstrated that a massive reduction in H(v)1 expression can limit the Nox2 mediated superoxide production of PLB-985 granulocytes. In summary, beside monomers native H(v)1 forms stable proton channel dimer in resting and activated human granulocytes. The expression pattern of H(v)1 in granulocytes is optimized to support intense NADPH oxidase activity.

    Abstract In adrenal zona glomerulosa cells angiotensin II (Ang II) is a key regulator of steroidogenesis. Our purpose was to compare the mechanisms of Ang II-induced changes in the expression level of early transcription factors NR4A1 (NGFIB) and NR4A2 (Nurr1) genes, and the CYP11B2 gene encoding aldosterone synthase in H295R human adrenocortical tumor cells and in primary rat adrenal glomerulosa cells. Real-time PCR studies have demonstrated that Ang II increased the expression levels of NR4A1 and NR4A2 in H295R cells within 1 h after stimulation, which persisted up to 6 h; whereas in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells the kinetics of the expression of these genes were more rapid and transient. Ang II also induced prolonged nuclear translocation of Nurr1 and NGFIB proteins in both cell types. Studies using MEK inhibitor (PD98059, 20 microM), protein kinase C inhibitor (BIM1, 3 microM) and calmodulin kinase (CAMK) inhibitor (KN93, 10 microM) revealed that in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells CAMK-mediated mechanisms play a predominant role in the regulation of CYP11B2. In accordance with earlier findings, in H295R cells MEK inhibition increased the expression of NR4A1, NR4A2 and CYP11B2 genes, however, it decreased the Ang II-induced gene expression levels, suggesting that ERK activation has a role in control of expression of these genes. No such mechanism was detected in rat glomerulosa cells. Sar1-Ile4-Ile8-AngII, which can cause G protein-independent ERK activation, also stimulated the expression of CYP11B2 in H295R cells. These data suggest that the previously reported CAMK-mediated stimulation of early transcription factors NGFIB and Nurr1 has a predominant role in Ang II-induced CYP11B2 activation in rat adrenal glomerulosa cells, whereas in H295R cells ERK activation and G protein-independent mechanisms also contribute to this process.

    Abstract Motility of normal and transformed cells within and across tissues requires specialized subcellular structures, e.g. membrane ruffles, lamellipodia and podosomes, which are generated by dynamic rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton. Because the formation of these sub-cellular structures is complex and relatively poorly understood, we evaluated the role of the adapter protein SH3PXD2B [HOFI, fad49, Tks4], which plays a role in the development of the eye, skeleton and adipose tissue. Surprisingly, we find that SH3PXD2B is requisite for the development of EGF-induced membrane ruffles and lamellipodia, as well as for efficient cellular attachment and spreading of HeLa cells. Furthermore, SH3PXD2B is present in a complex with the non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase Src, phosphorylated by Src, which is consistent with SH3PXD2B accumulating in Src-induced podosomes. Furthermore, SH3PXD2B closely follows the subcellular relocalization of cortactin to Src-induced podosomes, EGF-induced membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. Because SH3PXD2B also forms a complex with the C-terminal region of cortactin, we propose that SH3PXD2B is a scaffold protein that plays a key role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton via Src and cortactin.

    Abstract The aim of this work was to study the dityrosine-forming activity of lactoperoxidase (LPO) and its potential application for measuring hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It was observed that LPO was able to form dityrosine at low H2O2 concentrations. Since dityrosine concentration could be measured in a simple fluorimetric reaction, this activity of the enzyme was utilized for the measurement of H2O2 production in different systems. These experiments successfully measured the activity of NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) by this method. It was concluded that LPO-mediated dityrosine formation offers a simple way for H2O2 measurement.

    Abstract Mammalian peroxidases are heme-containing enzymes that serve diverse biological roles, such as host defense and hormone biosynthesis. A mammalian homolog of Drosophila peroxidasin belongs to the peroxidase family; however, its function is currently unknown. In this study, we show that peroxidasin is present in the endoplasmic reticulum of human primary pulmonary and dermal fibroblasts, and the expression of this protein is increased during transforming growth factor-beta1-induced myofibroblast differentiation. Myofibroblasts secrete peroxidasin into the extracellular space where it becomes organized into a fibril-like network and colocalizes with fibronectin, thus helping to form the extracellular matrix. We also demonstrate that peroxidasin expression is increased in a murine model of kidney fibrosis and that peroxidasin localizes to the peritubular space in fibrotic kidneys. In addition, we show that this novel pathway of extracellular matrix formation is unlikely mediated by the peroxidase activity of the protein. Our data indicate that peroxidasin secretion represents a previously unknown pathway in extracellular matrix formation with a potentially important role in the physiological and pathological fibrogenic response.
