“…Mitochondria produce ROS mainly through a single electron transport to molecular oxygen in the ETC. In the cytoplasm, NOX and XO are the main sources of ROS formation [22]. Numerous studies have shown that inhibiting these pathways by pharmacological strategies exhibits beneficial effect in animal or in vitro experiments [5].…”

Background: The anti-infammatory and cardioprotective effect of acetylcholine (ACh) has been reported; nevertheless, whether and how ACh exhibits an antioxidant property against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced oxidative stress remains obscure. Methods: In the present study, H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes were exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) to mimic I/R injury. We estimated intracellular different sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by measuring mitochondrial ROS (mtROS), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number, xanthine oxidase (XO) and NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity and expression of rac 1. Cell injury was determined by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and cleaved caspase-3 expression. The siRNA transfection was performed to knockdown of M2 acetylcholine receptor (M2 AChR) expression. Results: 12-h hypoxia followed by 2-h reoxygenation resulted in an abrupt burst of ROS in H9c2 cells. Administration of ACh reduced the levels of ROS in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared to the H/R group, ACh decreased mtROS, recovered mtDNA copy number, diminished XO and NOX activity, rac 1 expression as well as cell injury. Co- treatment with atropine rather than hexamethonium abolished the antioxidant and cardioprotective effect of ACh. Moreover, knockdown of M2 AChR by siRNA showed the similar trends as atropine co-treatment group. Conclusions: ACh inhibits mitochondria-, XO- and NOX-derived ROS production thus protecting H9c2 cells against H/R-induced oxidative stress, and these benefcial effects are mainly mediated by M2 AChR. Our findings suggested that increasing ACh release could be a potential therapeutic strategy for treatment and prevention of I/R injury.

“…In the myocardial I/R, an abrupt burst of ROS, particularly mitochondrial ROS production, leads to SOD consumption; on the other hand, SOD synthesis decreased due to the energy deficiency. Cumulatively these changes result in excessive ROS accumulation in myocardium, reduced anti-oxidative activity and mitochondrial dysfunction [7]. The increased mitochondrial ROS production can lead to opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore, thereby instigating a chain of events that leads to both apoptotic and necrotic cardiomyocyte death [8,9].…”

Background/Aims: Acetylcholine (ACh) is known to modulate the cardiac redox environment and thereby suppress reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation during oxidative stress. However, there is little information about its regulation on ROS clearance. Here we investigate the beneficial effects of ACh on superoxide dismutase (SOD) as key ROS-detoxifying enzyme system in cultured rat cardiomyoblasts. Methods: H9c2 cells were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) to mimic oxidative stress. Western blot was used to detect the expression of SOD and related signaling molecules. Specific protein knockdown was performed with siRNA transfection. Results: ACh treatment on the beginning of reoxygenation decreased ROS and apoptosis. ACh increased ATP synthesis and mitochondrial DNA. Furthermore, ACh significantly reversed H/R-induced reduction in protein expressions and activities of SOD. ACh stimulated peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ co-activator 1α (PGC-1α) and decreased forkhead box subfamily O3a (FoxO3a) phosphorylation. Atropine (muscarinic receptor antagonist) abolished the cytoprotection afforded by ACh. PGC-1α siRNA blocked ACh-induced invigorating effects on SOD2, whereas it did not alter SOD1 and FoxO3a phosphorylation. FoxOSa siRNA drastically decreased the expressions of SOD2 and PGC-1α, while it did not affect SOD1. Conclusion: ACh activates SOD2 within mitochondria through FoxO3a/PGC-1α pathway and up-regulates SOD1 in the cytoplasm, thus protecting against oxidative injury induced by H/R. Our findings provide new insights into mechanisms underlying the cardioprotection of ACh on ROS detoxifying. © 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel

A Master Regulator of Oxidative Stress - The Transcription Factor Nrf2

The increase in life expectancy leads to the possibility of development chronic diseases, from special physiological conditions as occurs in the menopause, which is defined as the permanent cessation of ovulation, marked by the end of menstruation. It has been related to decreased ovarian function that occurs around an age of 45 years. This event involves the reduction in estrogen production and may contribute to the development of chronic-degenerative diseases. Many diseases developed during menopause have been associated with oxidative stress, such as osteoporosis, hot flushes, cognitive impairment, insulin resistance, dry skin, obesity, and cardiovascular events. The knowledge about the participation of Nrf2 in diseases that occur during menopause is very limited. Here, only diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases and dry skin, which are present during menopause and its later stages have been described. The Nrf2 pathway involves the participation of PI3K/Akt, MAPK, and eNOS, which act as mediators for cytoprotection and antioxidation. Compounds such as equol, fitoestrogens, alkyl cathecols, or curcumin could be offered as options to antioxidant treatment, added the fact that they are present in fruits and vegetables which are rich in vitamins, minerals and calcium, thus including all the required nutrients for an adequate nutrition.
