“…The one plausible explanation is that experimental studies do not mimic clinical conditions or do not represent the exact conditions prevailing in humans. In recent years, there are numerous reports suggesting the failure of various AO to heal those pathologies where causal role of ROS and RNS has been implicated, and there are yet another series of researches reporting antioxidant therapy causing serious complications and side effects, which is in contradiction to expected effects [39,41]. As such, the emerging recent view is that excess generation of FR may not be causing the disease but vice versa i.e.…”

“…With distinctive demonstration of the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in human physiology [8,10,24,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45], the concept of ''Toxic molecules'' for free radicals FR is now outdated. In fact, there is a strong doubt if there is any acute phase FR generation is involved in etiopathogenesis of human diseases; that raised oxidative stress (OS) in majority of the disease is consequence and not the cause [6-8, 12, 18, 46-48] that raised OS is not present in all the patients [3,5,14,[49][50][51] and that a specific level of OS is necessary for vital activities [43,52,53].…”

The antioxidants are essential molecules in human system but are not miracle molecules. They are neither performance enhancers nor can prevent or cure diseases when taken in excess. Their supplemental value is debateable. In fact, many high quality clinical trials on antioxidant supplement have shown no effect or adverse outcomes ranging from morbidity to all cause mortality. Several Chochrane Meta-analysis and Markov Model techniques, which are presently best available statistical models to derive conclusive answers for comparing large number of trials, support these claims. Nevertheless none of these statistical techniques are flawless. Hence, more efforts are needed to develop perfect statistical model to analyze the pooled data and further double blind, placebo controlled interventional clinical trials, which are gold standard, should be implicitly conducted to get explicit answers. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase and catalase are termed as primary antioxidants as these scavenge superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. All these three enzymes are inducible enzymes, thereby inherently meaning that body increases or decreases their activity as per requirement. Hence there is no need to attempt to manipulate their activity nor have such efforts been clinically useful. SOD administration has been tried in some conditions especially in cancer and myocardial infarction but has largely failed, probably because SOD is a large molecule and can not cross cell membrane. The dietary antioxidants, including nutrient antioxidants are chain breaking antioxidants and in tandem with enzyme antioxidants temper the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) within physiological limits. Since body is able to regulate its own requirements of enzyme antioxidants, the diet must provide adequate quantity of non-enzymic antioxidants to meet the normal requirements and provide protection in exigent condition. So far, there is no evidence that human tissues ever experience the torrent of reactive species and that in chronic conditions with mildly enhanced generation of reactive species, the body can meet them squarely if antioxidants defense system in tissues is biochemically optimized. We are not yet certain about optimal levels of antioxidants in tissues. Two ways have been used to assess them: first by dietary intake and second by measuring plasma levels. Lately determination of plasma/serum level of antioxidants is considered better index for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. The recommended levels for vitamin A, E and C and beta carotene are 2.2-2.8 lmol/l; 27.5-30 lmol/l; 40-50 lmol/l and 0.4-0.5 lmol/l, respectively. The requirement and recommended blood levels of other dietary antioxidants are not established. The resolved issues are (1) essential to scavenge excess of radical species (2) participants in redox homeostasis (3) selective antioxidants activity against radical species (4) there is no universal antioxidant and 5) therapeutic value in case of deficiency.

“…The important non-radical species in human system are hydrogen peroxide, peroxynitrite, singlet oxygen peroxynitrous acid and peroxyl nitrite (15,(48)(49)(50). In low to moderate concentration they play important physiological role such as immunocompetance, apoptosis, vascular tone, hormonal regulation, signal transduction, transcription factors, defence genes and adaptive responses to enzymes (15,(50)(51)(52)(53). However, in higher concentration they are harmful.…”

Diabetes mellitus type-2 (DMT-2) is a hyperglycemic retinopathy and embryopathy) or a-vascular (cataract and glaucoma etc). It has been proposed that all these abnormal events are initiated or activated by a common mechanism of superoxide anion, which is accompanied with generation of a variety of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen specie (RNS) and resultant heightened oxidative stress (OS). Provoked OS causes IR and altered gene expressions. Hyperglycemia induces OS through multiple routes : a)stimulated polyol pathway where in d 30% glucose can be diverted to sorbitol and fructose, b)increased transcription of genes for proinflammatory cytokines and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) c) activation of protein kinase-C (PKC) leading to several molecular changes d)increased synthesis of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) e)changes in a receptor far AGEs and f) autooxidation of

Nuclear ULK1 promotes cell death in response to oxidative stress through PARP1

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may cause cellular damage and oxidative stress-induced cell death. Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved intracellular catabolic process, is executed by autophagy (ATG) proteins, including the autophagy initiation kinase Unc-51-like kinase (ULK1)/ATG1. Although autophagy has been implicated to have both cytoprotective and cytotoxic roles in the response to ROS, the role of individual ATG proteins, including ULK1, remains poorly characterized. In this study, we demonstrate that ULK1 sensitizes cells to necrotic cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). Moreover, we demonstrate that ULK1 localizes to the nucleus and regulates the activity of the DNA damage repair protein poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) in a kinase-dependent manner. By enhancing PARP1 activity, ULK1 contributes to ATP depletion and death of H 2 O 2 -treated cells. Our study provides the first evidence of an autophagy-independent prodeath role for nuclear ULK1 in response to ROS-induced damage. On the basis of our data, we propose that the subcellular distribution of ULK1 has an important role in deciding whether a cell lives or dies on exposure to adverse environmental or intracellular conditions. Cell Death and Differentiation (2016) 23, 216-230; doi:10.1038/cdd.2015; published online 3 July 2015Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), are formed by the incomplete reduction of oxygen during oxidative phosphorylation and other enzymatic processes. ROS are signaling molecules that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. 1-3 Accumulation of ROS (i.e., oxidative stress) on exposure to xenobiotic agents or environmental toxins can cause cellular damage and death via apoptotic or nonapoptotic pathways. [4][5][6] Oxidative stress-induced cellular damage and death have been implicated in aging, ischemia-reperfusion injury, inflammation, and the pathogenesis of diseases (e.g., neurodegeneration and cancer). 7 Oxidative stress also contributes to the antitumor effects of many chemotherapeutic drugs, including camptothecin 8,9 and selenite. 10,11 Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved intracellular catabolic process, involves lysosome-dependent degradation of superfluous and damaged cytosolic organelles and proteins. 12 It is typically upregulated under conditions of perceived stress and in response to cellular damage. The consequence of autophagy activation -whether cytoprotective or cytotoxicappears to depend on the cell type and the nature and extent of stress. Although most studies indicate a cytoprotective role for autophagy, some evidence suggests that it contributes to cell death in response to oxidative stress. [13][14][15][16][17] Studies have also indicated that autophagy may be suppressed in response to oxidative stress, thereby sensitizing certain cells to apoptosis. 18,19 Unc-51-like kinase/autophagy 1 (ULK1/ATG1) is a mammalian serine-threonine kinase that regulates flux through the autophagy pathway by activating the VPS34 PI(3) kinas...
