    Abstract Angiogenesis, a new vessel formation from the pre-existing ones, is essential for embryonic development, wound repair and treatment of ischemic heart and limb diseases. However, dysregulated angiogenesis contributes to various pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy, atherosclerosis and cancer. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from NADPH oxidase (NOX) as well as mitochondria play an important role in promoting the angiogenic switch from quiescent endothelial cells (ECs). However, how highly diffusible ROS produced from different sources and location can communicate with each other to regulate angiogenesis remains unclear. To detect a localized ROS signal in distinct subcellular compartments in real time in situ, compartment-specific genetically encoded redox-sensitive fluorescence biosensors have been developed. Recently, the intercellular communication, "cross-talk", between ROS derived from NOX and mitochondria, termed "ROS-induced ROS release", has been proposed as a mechanism for ROS amplification at distinct subcellular compartments, which are essential for activation of redox signaling. This "ROS-induced ROS release" may represent a feed-forward mechanism of localized ROS production to maintain sustained signaling, which can be targeted under pathological conditions with oxidative stress or enhanced to promote therapeutic angiogenesis. In this review, we summarize the recent knowledge regarding the role of the cross-talk between NOX and mitochondria organizing the sustained ROS signaling involved in VEGF signaling, neovascularization and tissue repair.

    Abstract Inflammation, oxidative stress, and copper (Cu) play an important role in cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis. We previously reported that cytosolic Cu chaperone antioxidant-1 (Atox1) translocates to the nucleus in response to inflammatory cytokines or exogenous Cu and that Atox1 is localized at the nucleus in the endothelium of inflamed atherosclerotic aorta. However, the roles of nuclear Atox1 and their function are poorly understood. Here we showed that Atox1 deficiency in ApoE

    Abstract Calcareous soils cover one-third of all land and cause severe growth defects in plants due to the poor water solubility of iron at high pH. Poaceae species use a unique chelation strategy, whereby plants secrete a high-affinity metal chelator, known as phytosiderophores (mugineic acids), and reabsorb the iron-phytosiderophore complex by the yellow stripe 1/yellow stripe 1-like (YS1/YSL) transporter for efficient uptake of iron from the soil. Here, we present three cryo-electron microscopy structures of barley YS1 (HvYS1) in the apo state, in complex with an iron-phytosiderophore complex, Fe(III)-deoxymugineic acid (Fe(III)-DMA), and in complex with the iron-bound synthetic DMA analog (Fe(III)-PDMA). The structures reveal a homodimeric assembly mediated through an anti-parallel β-sheet interaction with cholesterol hemisuccinate. Each protomer adopts an outward open conformation, and Fe(III)-DMA is bound near the extracellular space in the central cavity. Fe(III)-PDMA occupies the same binding site as Fe(III)-DMA, demonstrating that PDMA can function as a potent fertilizer in an essentially identical manner to DMA. Our results provide a structural framework for iron-phytosiderophore recognition and transport by YS1/YSL transporters, which will enable the rational design of new, high-potency fertilizers.

    Abstract In the preclinical model of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), M2-like anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization and angiogenesis are required for revascularization. The regulation of cell metabolism and inflammation in macrophages is tightly linked to mitochondrial dynamics. Drp1, a mitochondrial fission protein, has shown context-dependent macrophage phenotypes with both pro- and anti-inflammatory characteristics. However, the role of macrophage Drp1 in reparative neovascularization remains unexplored. Here we show that Drp1 expression was significantly increased in F4/80+ macrophages within ischemic muscle at day 3 following hindlimb ischemia (HLI), an animal model of PAD. Myeloid-specific Drp1

    Abstract Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient but excess Cu is potentially toxic. Its important propensity to cycle between two oxidation states accounts for its frequent presence as a cofactor in many physiological processes through Cu-containing enzymes, including mitochondrial energy production (via cytochrome c-oxidase), protection against oxidative stress (via superoxide dismutase), and extracellular matrix stability (via lysyl oxidase). Since free Cu is potentially toxic, the bioavailability of intracellular Cu is tightly controlled by Cu transporters and Cu chaperones. Recent evidence reveals that these Cu transport systems play an essential role in the physiological responses of cardiovascular cells, including cell growth, migration, angiogenesis and wound repair. In response to growth factors, cytokines, and hypoxia, their expression, subcellular localization, and function are tightly regulated. Cu transport systems and their regulators have also been linked to various cardiovascular pathophysiologies such as hypertension, inflammation, atherosclerosis, diabetes, cardiac hypertrophy, and cardiomyopathy. A greater appreciation of the central importance of Cu transporters and Cu chaperones in cell signaling and gene expression in cardiovascular biology offers the possibility of identifying new therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease.
