    Abstract As controversy exists about the efficacy of substance P (SP) in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) with no previous study highlighting the impact of SP on mitochondrial dysfunction in this diseased condition, it became logical to perform the present study. C57BL/6 J mice were administered with DSS @ 3.5%/gm body weight for 3 cycles of 5 days each followed by i.v. dose of SP @ 5nmole per kg for consecutive 7 days. Histopathological features were noticed in the affected colon along with colonic mitochondrial dysfunction, alterations in mitochondrial stress variables and enhanced colonic cell death. Interestingly, SP failed to reverse colitic features and proved ineffective in inhibiting mitochondrial dysfunction. Unexpectedly SP alone seemed to impart detrimental effects on some of the mitochondrial functions, enhanced lipid peroxidation and increased staining intensities for caspases 3 and 9 in the normal colon. To substantiate in vivo findings and to assess free radical scavenging property of SP, Caco-2 cells were exposed to DSS with or without SP in the presence and absence of specific free radical scavengers and antioxidants. Interestingly, in vitro treatment with SP failed to restore mitochondrial functions and its efficacy proved below par compared to SOD and DMSO indicating involvement of O

Interestingly, in vitro treatment with SP failed to restore mitochondrial functions and its efficacy proved below par compared to SOD and DMSO indicating involvement of O₂•⁻ and •OH in the progression of UC. Besides, catalase, L-NAME and MEG proved ineffective indicating non-involvement of H₂O₂, NO and ONOO⁻ in UC. Thus, SP may not be a potent anti-colitogenic agent targeting colonic mitochondrial dysfunction for maintenance of colon epithelial tract as it lacks free radical scavenging property.

    Abstract Citrobacter rodentium infection is a model for infection with attaching and effacing pathogens, such as enteropathogenic Escherichia coli. The vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) has emerged as an anti-inflammatory agent, documented to inhibit Th1 immune responses and successfully treat animal models of inflammation. VIP is also a mucus secretagogue. Here, we found that colonic levels of VIP decrease during murine C. rodentium infection with a similar time dependency as measurements reflecting mitochondrial function and epithelial integrity. The decrease in VIP appears mainly driven by changes in the cytokine environment, as no changes in VIP levels were detected in infected mice lacking interferon gamma (IFNγ). VIP supplementation alleviated the reduction of activity and levels of mitochondrial respiratory complexes I and IV, mitochondrial phosphorylation capacity, transmembrane potential and ATP generation caused by IFNγ, TNFα and C. rodentium infection, in an in vitro mucosal surface. Similarly, VIP treatment regimens that included the day 5-10 post infection period alleviated decreases in enzyme complexes I and IV, phosphorylation capacity, mitochondrial transmembrane potential and ATP generation as well as increased apoptosis levels during murine infection with C. rodentium. However, VIP treatment failed to alleviate colitis, although there was a tendency to decreased pathogen density in contact with the epithelium and in the spleen. Both in vivo and in vitro, NO generation increased during C. rodentium infection, which was alleviated by VIP. Thus, therapeutic VIP administration to restore the decreased levels during infection had beneficial effects on epithelial cells and their mitochondria, but not on the overall infection outcome.

    Abstract In the normal condition, endogenous formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) from the interaction of nitric oxide and superoxide has been suggested to play a renoprotective role. However, the exact mechanism associated with renoprotection by this radical compound is not yet clearly defined. AlthoughONOO- usually inhibits renal tubular Na(+)K(+)ATPase (NKA) activity at high concentrations (micromolar to millimolar range [μM-mM], achieved in pathophysiological conditions), the effects at lower concentrations (nanomolar range [nM], relevant in normal condition) remain unknown. To examine the direct effect ofONOO- onNKAactivity, preparations of cellular membrane fraction from mouse renal tissue and from culturedHK2 cells (human proximal tubular epithelial cell lines) were incubated for 10 and 30 min each with different concentrations ofONOO- (10 nmol/L-200 μmol/L).NKAactivity in these samples (n = 5 in each case) was measured via a colorimetric assay capable of detecting inorganic phosphate. At high concentrations (1-200 μmol/L),ONOO- caused dose-dependent inhibition ofNKAactivity (-3.0 ± 0.6% and -36.4 ± 1.4%). However,NKAactivity remained unchanged at 100 and 500 nmol/LONOO- concentration, but interestingly, at lower concentrations (10 and 50 nmol/L),ONOO- caused small but significant increases in theNKAactivity (3.3 ± 1.1% and 3.1 ± 0.6%). Pretreatment with aONOO- scavenger, mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG; 200 μmol/L), prevented these biphasic responses toONOO-. This dose-dependent biphasic action ofONOO(-)onNKAactivity may implicate that this radical compound helps to maintain sodium homeostasis either by enhancing tubular sodium reabsorption under normal conditions or by inhibiting it during oxidative stress conditions.

    Abstract Citrobacter rodentium is a murine pathogen that serves as a model for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli. C. rodentium infection reduced the quantity and activity of mitochondrial respiratory complexes I and IV, as well as phosphorylation capacity, mitochondrial transmembrane potential and ATP generation at day 10, 14 and 19 post infection. Cytokine mRNA quantification showed increased levels of IFNγ, TNFα, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-12 during infection. The effects of adding these cytokines, C. rodentium and E. coli were hence elucidated using an in vitro colonic mucosa. Both infection and TNFα, individually and combined with IFNγ, decreased complex I and IV enzyme levels and mitochondrial function. However, IL-4 reversed these effects, and IL-6 protected against loss of complex IV. Both in vivo and in vitro, the dysfunction appeared caused by nitric oxide-generation, and was alleviated by an antioxidant targeting mitochondria. IFNγ -/- mice, containing a similar pathogen burden but higher IL-4 and IL-6, displayed no loss of any of the four complexes. Thus, the cytokine environment appears to be a more important determinant of mitochondrial function than direct actions of the pathogen. As IFNγ and TNFα levels increase during clearance of infection, the concomitant increase in IL-4 and IL-6 protects mitochondrial function.

    Abstract Dopamine oxidation products such as H2O2 and reactive quinones have been held responsible for various toxic actions of dopamine, which have implications in the aetiopathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. This study has shown that N-acetylcysteine (0.25-1 mm) is a potent scavenger of both H2O2 and toxic quinones derived from dopamine and it further prevents dopamine mediated inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase activity and mitochondrial respiratory chain function. The quinone scavenging ability of N-acetylcysteine is presumably related to its protective effect against dopamine mediated inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory chain activity. However, both H2O2 scavenging and quinone scavenging properties of N-acetylcysteine probably account for its protective effect against Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition induced by dopamine. The results have important implications in the neuroprotective therapy of sporadic Parkinson's disease since inactivation of mitochondrial respiratory activity and Na+,K+-ATPase may trigger intracellular damage pathways leading to the death of nigral dopaminergic neurons.

    Abstract Aims: The involvement of various growth factors, growth factor receptors and proliferative markers in the molecular pathogenesis of astrocytic neoplasms are being studied extensively. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene overexpression occurs in nearly 50% of cases of glioblastoma. Since EGFR and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) are involved in mitogenic signal transduction and cellular proliferation pathway, we have studied the correlation between the expression of EGFR and PCNA labeling index in astrocytic tumors.
    Materials and methods: We investigated the immunohistochemical expression of EGFR and PCNA using the appropriate monoclonal antibodies in 40 cases of astrocytic tumors of which 21 cases were glioblastoma, eight cases were Grade III or anaplastic astrocytomas and six cases were Grade II or diffuse astrocytomas and five cases were Grade I or pilocytic astrocytomas.
    Results: Both the EGFR expression and PCNA labeling index increase with increasing grades of astrocytomas with a significantly high percentage of cells showing positive staining for both EGFR and PCNA in GBM and Grade III astrocytomas compared to Grade II astrocytomas. The expression levels of both EGFR and PCNA were low in Grade I or pilocytic astrocytomas.
    Conclusions: A significant correlation was found between EGFR overexpression and PCNA labeling index in Grade III and Grade II astrocytomas and glioblastoma. These suggest that the tumor proliferation, at least in higher grades of astrocytomas is dependent in some measure on EGF and EGFR-related signaling pathways.
