Abstract:Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases and disorders, but the mechanistic basis often remains enigmatic. The Sod2 mutant mouse, which is sensitized to mitochondrial stress, is an ideal mutant model for studying the role of oxidative stress in a diverse range of complications arising from mitochondrial dysfunction and diminished antioxidant defense. To fully appreciate the widespread molecular consequences under increased oxidative stress, a systems approach utilizin… Show more
“…The latter mice have a mild, subclinical oxidative stress phenotype and have previously shown utility in toxicological studies. 34 The Sod2 þ/À mice had no obvious phenotype, and SOD2 expression was approximately 60% of control. 27 In the absence of alcohol, SOD2 level was not influenced by the presence of HCV protein expression.…”

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection exacerbates alcoholic liver injury by mechanisms that include enhanced oxidative stress. The forkhead box transcription factor FOXO3 is an important component of the antioxidant stress response that can be altered by HCV. To test whether FOXO3 is protective for alcoholic liver injury, we fed alcohol to FOXO3 À/À mice. After 3 weeks, one third of these mice developed severe hepatic steatosis, neutrophilic infiltration, and >10-fold alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations. In cell culture, either alcohol or HCV infection alone increased FOXO3 transcriptional activity and expression of target genes, but the combination of HCV and alcohol together caused loss of nuclear FOXO3 and decreased its transcriptional activity. This was accompanied by increased phosphorylation of FOXO3. Mice expressing HCV structural proteins on a background of reduced expression of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2; Sod2 þ/À ) also had increased liver sensitivity to alcohol, with elevated ALT, steatosis, and lobular inflammation. Elevated ALT was associated with an alcohol-induced decrease in SOD2 and redistribution of FOXO3 to the cytosol. These results demonstrate that FOXO3 functions as a protective factor preventing alcoholic liver injury. The combination of HCV and alcohol, but not either condition alone, inactivates FOXO3, causing a decrease in expression of its target genes and an increase in liver injury. Modulation of the FOXO3 pathway is a potential therapeutic approach for HCV-alcoholeinduced liver injury. (Am J Pathol 2013 http://dx

“…Glutamine is a precursor of GSH, and the overrepresentation of glutamine metabolism ( P adj = × 10 –05 ) and GSH metabolism ( P adj = 8.66 × 10 –05 ) provided further evidence of GSH perturbation.

Troglitazone,
a first-generation thiazolidinedione of antihyperglycaemic
properties, was withdrawn from the market due to unacceptable idiosyncratic
hepatotoxicity. Despite intensive research, the underlying mechanism
of troglitazone-induced liver toxicity remains unknown. Here we report
the use of the Sod2+/– mouse model of silent mitochondrial oxidative-stress-based
and quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to track the mitochondrial
proteome changes induced by physiologically relevant troglitazone
doses. By quantitative untargeted proteomics, we first globally profiled
the Sod2+/– hepatic
mitochondria proteome and found perturbations including GSH metabolism
that enhanced the toxicity of the normally nontoxic troglitazone.
Short- and long-term troglitazone administration in Sod2+/– mouse led to a mitochondrial
proteome shift from an early compensatory response to an eventual
phase of intolerable oxidative stress, due to decreased mitochondrial
glutathione (mGSH) import protein, decreased dicarboxylate ion carrier
(DIC), and the specific activation of ASK1-JNK and FOXO3a with prolonged
troglitazone exposure. Furthermore, mapping of the detected proteins
onto mouse specific protein-centered networks revealed lipid-associated
proteins as contributors to overt mitochondrial and liver injury when
under prolonged exposure to the lipid-normalizing troglitazone. By
integrative toxicoproteomics, we demonstrated a powerful systems approach
in identifying the collapse of specific fragile nodes and activation
of crucial proteome reconfiguration regulators when targeted by an
exogenous toxicant.
“…Mass spectrometry‐based proteomics strategy is capable of identifying the differentially expressed proteins from a large validated protein database, that together. The combination of with genetic/transcriptomic/metabolomics and bioinformatics identification and integration of these multiple ‘omics can determine the functional significance of proteins and biochemical pathways responsible for as HCC pathogenesis, as well as other diseases (Cui et al, ; Codarin et al, ; Gstaiger & Aebersold, ; Corona et al, ; Lee et al, ).…”
