del. Overall, this study suggests that hypoxic preconditioning combined with curcumin could serve as an attractive strategy for facilitating BMSCs-mediated tissue repair, and further sheds new light on the rich repertoire of PGC-1α/SIRT3/HIF-1α signaling involved in the regulation of mitochondrial quality and function for cellular adaption to hypoxia.In this study, we identified an unexpected pro-cell death role for NFκB in mediating oxidative stress-induced necrosis, and provide new mechanistic evidence that NFκB, in cooperation with HDAC3, negatively regulates Nrf2-ARE anti-oxidative signaling through transcriptional silencing. We showed that genetic inactivation of NFκB-p65 inhibited, whereas activation of NFκB promoted, oxidative stress-induced cell death and HMGB1 release, a biomarker of necrosis. Moreover, NFκB-luciferase activity was elevated in cardiomyocytes after simulated ischemia/reperfusion (sI/R) or doxorubicin (DOX) treatment, and inhibition of NFκB with Ad-p65-shRNA or Ad-IκBαM diminished sI/R- and DOX-induced cell death and HMGB1 release. Importantly, NFκB negatively regulated Nrf2-ARE activity and the expression of antioxidant proteins. Mechanistically, co-immunoprecipitation revealed that p65 was required for Nrf2-HDAC3 interaction and transcriptional silencing of Nrf2-ARE activity. Further, the ability of HDAC3 to repress Nrf2-ARE activity was lost in p65 deficient cells. Pharmacologic inhibition of HADCs or NFκB with trichostatin A (TSA) or BMS-345541, respectively, increased Nrf2-ARE activity and promoted cell survival after sI/R. In vivo, NFκB transcriptional activity in the mouse heart was significantly elevated after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which was abolished by cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of p65 using p65fl/flNkx2.5-Cre mice. PIK-III Moreover, genetic ablation of p65 in the mouse heart attenuated myocardial infarct size after acute I/R injury and improved cardiac remodeling and functional recovery after chronic myocardial infarction. Thus, our results identified NFκB as a key regulator of oxidative stress-induced necrosis by suppressing the Nrf2-ARE antioxidant pathway through an HDAC3-dependent mechanism. This study also revealed a new pathogenic role of NFκB in cardiac ischemic injury and pathological remodeling.The role of glutathione in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is emerging as a major topic, due to its role in the maintenance of the intracellular redox balance. Several studies have implicated glutathione redox imbalance as a leading factor in ASD, and both ASD and many other neurodevelopmental disorders involve low levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), high levels of oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and abnormalities in the expressions of glutathione-related enzymes in the blood or brain. Glutathione metabolism, through its impact on redox environment or redox-independent mechanisms, interferes with multiple mechanisms involved in ASD pathogenesis. Glutathione-mediated regulation of glutamate receptors [e.g., N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor], as well as the role of glutamate as a substrate for glutathione synthesis, may be involved in the regulation of glutamate excitotoxicity. However, the interaction between glutathione and glutamate in the pathogenesis of brain diseases may vary from synergism to antagonismole of glutathione redox signaling in ASD, which could potentially also lead to promising therapeutics.Combining an external beam of ionizing particles with agents to augment the dose effects of cell damages for therapeutic purpose is an important goal of radiotherapy. This last decade intensive works have focused on metal compounds or metal nanoparticles as radiosensitizers to increase the oxidative damages under irradiation. In principle the nanoparticles can be coated with a functionalized shell, to achieve a specific targeting of the tissues, making such approach attractive. The functionalized coating is made of polymers. These molecules are able to scavenge the free radicals, thus, the coating can decrease the overall efficacy of the radiation. The purpose of the present model is to analyse the role of free hydroxyl radicals in the dual behaviour of the added agent. Consideration of the efficiency of the added agents versus the Linear Energy Transfer - LET - of the ionizing particles is made. It is shown that an efficient agent combined with a low-LET particle beams might become less efficient when high-LET particles like heavy-ions are used. These general considerations should be useful to optimize the design of the nanoparticles to be combined with the different kind of ionizing particles.A set of 4-(R2-imino)-3-mercapto-5-(R1)-4H-1,2,4-triazoles derivatives were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit nitric oxide (NO) production in PAM212 mouse keratinocytes, which led to the discovery and the subsequent evaluation of their growth inhibitory cytotoxic potency toward that same mouse cell line together with a number of human cells lines (PC3, HT-29 and HeLa). Some limited SAR could be established for both NO production inhibition potency and growth inhibition cytotoxicity. Noticeably, the compounds designed to be nitrofurantoin mimics were the most potent anti-neoplastic agents.Tumor immunotherapy based on specific tumor antigen has become the focus for breast cancer, and research into cancer/testes antigens (CTA) is progressing. As an important member in the CTA, NY-ESO-1 plays a crucial role in the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer. In this study, we aimed to improve the binding ability to MHC by designing and synthesizing stable NY-ESO-1-derived peptides, based on NetMHC 4.0 webserver (http//www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetMHC/) and HLP webserver (http//crdd.osdd.net/raghava/hlp/pep_both.htm). Moreover, after modification of the lead compound, affinity of the peptides to human leukocyte antigen-A2 (HLA-A2) was determined by a flow cytometry and an inverted fluorescence microscope in T2 cells that show high expression of HLA-A2. The results demonstrated that the affinity of peptides II-4 and II-10 to HLA-A2 was significantly better when compared to others (II-Lead, II-1 ~ II-3, II-5 ~ II-9, II-11 ~ II-15). Further studies indicated that II-4 and II-10, especially II-4, significantly promoted the maturation of HLA-A2-positive human peripheral blood-derived dendritic cells (DCs) from morphology and surface markers, the activation of CD8 + T lymphocytes, and the type-specific killing effect on HLA-A2+/NY-ESO-1+ MDA-MB-231 cells.
