    Gliadin induced oxidative stress and altered cellular responses in human intestinal cells: An in-vitro study to understand the cross-talk between the transcription factor Nrf-2 and multifunctional APE1 enzyme
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022-05-09T00:00:00) Gupta, Kunj Bihari; Dhiman, Monisha; Mantha, Anil Kumar
    The present study examined the wheat protein gliadin-induced oxidative and nitrosative stress and its downstream responses in human intestinal HCT-116 and HT-29 cells. The beneficial role of dietary phytochemical curcumin and role of multifunctional enzyme Apurinic/aprymidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) a major player involved in the base excision repair (BER)-pathway in gliadin intolerant intestinal HCT-116 and HT-29 cell lines were evaluated as an in vitro model study. The cultured cells were exposed to gliadin protein, H2O2, and curcumin followed by the assessment of oxidative stress and the consequences were measured using spectrophotometric, PCR, flow cytometer, Western blotting, confocal microscopy, and other methods. Results demonstrate that a 3 h pretreatment of curcumin, followed by the treatment of gliadin protein for 24 h time period protected both the HCT-116 and HT-29 cells via: (i) decreasing the ROS/RNS, restoring the mitochondrial transmembrane potential; (ii) re-establishing the cellular antioxidant defense system (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and GSH); (iii) enhancing the functions of APE1 viz. endonuclease activity and redox activation of transcription factor Nrf-2, the later binds with the antioxidant response elements (ARE) and activates downstream targets involved in cell survival. The cross-talk between APE1 and Nrf-2 was also established using immunofluorescence imaging and co-immunoprecipitation assays. In conclusion, gliadin protein induces oxidative/nitrosative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and it damages cellular biomolecules in the intestinal cells. Hence it can be attributed to the tissue damage and disease pathogenesis in wheat intolerance-associated intestinal diseases. The gliadin-induced stress and its consequences are significantly reduced by the pretreatment of curcumin via BER-pathway and ARE-pathway; which is evident through the interaction between these two essential proteins. Hence suggesting for the intervention of curcumin and other natural dietary phytochemicals-based disease management and treatment of gliadin intolerance associated intestinal diseases like celiac disease. � 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Organophosphate-pesticides induced survival mechanisms and APE1-mediated Nrf2 regulation in non-small-cell lung cancer cells
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2020-10-20T00:00:00) Thakur, Shweta; Sarkar, Bibekananda; Dhiman, Monisha; Mantha, Anil K.
    Epidemiological and molecular studies have indicated that environmental exposure to organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) is associated with increased cancer risk; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms still need to be explained. Increasing cancer incidence is linked�to OPPs-induced oxidative stress (OS). Our study evaluates monocrotophos (MCP) and chlorpyrifos (CP)-induced OS responses and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) role in human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Our prior study has implicated OPPs-induced base excision repair (BER)-pathway dysregulation and APE1-mediated regulation of transcription factor (TF) c-jun in A549 cells. We further investigated the effects of MCP and CP on apoptosis, proliferation, and APE1's redox-regulation of nuclear factor-like 2 (Nrf2). Data demonstrates that MCP and CP at subtoxic concentrations induced reactive oxygen species generation and oxidative DNA base damage 8-oxo-dG lesions in NCI-H1299 cells. CP moderately upregulated�the apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in A549 cells, however, it did not trigger other pro-apoptotic factors viz. caspase-9 and caspase-3, suggesting early caspase-independent apoptosis. However, dose-dependent AIF-downregulation was observed for MCP treatment. Furthermore, CP and MCP treatments upregulated proliferating cell nuclear antigen levels. Immunofluorescent confocal imaging showed the colocalization of APE1 with Nrf2 in 10 �M CP- and MCP-treated NCI-H1299 cells. Immunoprecipitation confirmed that APE1 and Nrf2 physically interacted, indicating the role of APE1-mediated Nrf2 activation following OPPs treatment. This study suggests that low concentration MCP and CP exposure generates OS along with DNA damage, and modulates apoptosis, and APE1-mediated Nrf2 activation, which might be considered as the possible mechanism promoting lung cancer cell survival, suggesting that APE1 may have the potential to become a therapeutic target for the treatment of NSCLC. � 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC
