Cím:	Endothelial cell heme oxygenase and ferritin induction in rat lung by hemoglobin in vivo / Balla J., Nath K., Balla G., Juckett M. B., Jacob H. S., Vercellotti G. M.

Megjegyzések:	Iron-derived reactive oxygen species play an important role in the pathogenesis of various vascular disorders including vasculitis, atherosclerosis, and capillary leak syndromes such as the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We have suggested that acute incorporation of the heme moiety of hemoglobin released from red blood cells into endothelium could provide catalytically active iron to the vasculature. Adaptation to chronic heme stress involves the induction of heme oxygenase and ferritin; the latter provides cytoprotection against free radicals in vitro. The present studies examine the bioavailability of heme, derived from hemoglobin, to induce heme oxygenase and ferritin in rat lungs in vivo. Intravenous injection of methemoglobin, but not oxyhemoglobin, increases total lung heme oxygenase mRNA approximately fivefold after 16 h. Accompanying this mRNA induction, expression of total lung heme oxygenase enzyme activity is also markedly enhanced. In situ hybridization for heme oxygenase reveals mRNA accumulation in the lung microvascular endothelium, implying incorporation of heme into endothelial cells. Similarly, methemoglobin significantly increases the ferritin protein content of rat lungs and in parallel, ferritin light-chain mRNA increases approximately 1.6-fold, whereas heavy-chain mRNA is upregulated by approximately 1.9-fold. Immunoreactive ferritin is present in lung microvascular endothelium after methemoglobin treatment, suggesting incorporation of heme iron into pulmonary vasculature. Subcutaneous injection of Sn-protoporphyrin IX, a competitive inhibitor of heme oxygenase, does not affect methemoglobin-induced ferritin synthesis in lungs. We speculate that methemoglobin, which might be generated by activated leukocytes in ARDS associated with disseminated interavascular coagulation, can provide heme iron to lung microvascular endothelium to induce heme oxygenase and ferritin.

Cím:	Ferritin protects endothelial cells from oxidized low density lipoprotein in vitro / Mark B. Juckett, Jozsef Balla, Gyorgy Balla, Jose Jessurun, Harry S. Jacob, Gregory M. Vercellotti

Megjegyzések:	Low density lipoprotein (LDL), if it becomes oxidized, develops several unique properties including the capacity to provoke endothelial cytotoxicity via metal-catalyzed free radical-mediated mechanisms. As were previously have shown that iron-catalyzed oxidant injury to endothelial cells can be attenuated by the addition of exogenous iron chelators such as the lazaroids and deferoxamine, we have examined whether the endogenous iron chelator, ferritin, might provide protection from oxidized LDL. LDL oxidized by iron-containing hemin and H2O2 is toxic to endothelial cells in a time- and dose-dependent fashion. Endothelial cell ferritin content is increased by pretreatment of cells with iron compounds or by the direct addition of exogenous apoferritin; ferritin-loaded cells are markedly resistant to the toxicity caused by oxidized LDL. Iron inactivation by ferritin depends on its ferroxidase activity. When a recombinant human ferritin heavy chain mutant, 222, which is devoid of ferroxidase activity, is added to endothelial cells, unlike the excellent protection afforded by the wild-type recombinant heavy chain, endothelial cells are not protected from oxidized LDL. To assess the in vivo relevance of our observation, we examined human coronary arteries of cardiac explants taken from patients with end-stage atherosclerosis. Large amounts of immunoreactive ferritin are focally detected in atherosclerotic lesions, specifically in the myofibroblasts, macrophages, and endothelium without a notable increase in Prussian blue-detectable iron. These findings suggest that ferritin may modulate vascular cell injury in vivo.
