RESUMEN
Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of various acute disorders including ischemia/reperfusion injury, ultraviolet/radiation burn, as well as chronic disorders such as dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal disease, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the precise mechanism involved remains to be clarified. We formerly identified a novel apoptosis-inducing humoral protein, in a hypoxia/reoxygenation-conditioned medium of cardiac myocytes, which proved to be 69th tyrosine-sulfated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A). We named this novel tyrosine-sulfated secreted form of eIF5A Oxidative Stress-Responsive Apoptosis-Inducing Protein (ORAIP). To investigate the role of ORAIP in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine model of ulcerative colitis (UC), we analyzed the effects of in vivo treatment with anti-ORAIP neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) on the DSS-induced disease exacerbation. The body weight in anti-ORAIP mAb-treated group was significantly heavier than that in a mouse IgG-treated control group on day 8 of DSS-treatment ((85.21 ± 1.03%) vs. (77.38 ± 2.07%); (mean ± SE0, n = 5 each, p < 0.01, t-test). In vivo anti-ORAIP mAb-treatment also significantly suppressed the shortening of colon length as well as Disease Activity Index (DAI) score ((5.00 ± 0.44) vs. (8.20 ± 0.37); (mean ± SE), n = 5 each, p < 0.001, t-test) by suppressing inflammation of the rectal tissue and apoptosis of intestinal mucosal cells. These data reveal the pivotal role of ORAIP in DSS-induced oxidative stress involved in an animal model of UC.

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in cardiac myocytes. However, the precise mechanism remains uncertain. We identified an apoptosis-inducing humoral factor, in a conditioned medium from cardiac myocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation, to be 69th tyrosine-sulfated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A). We named this novel secreted form of eIF5A, Oxidative stress-Responsive Apoptosis Inducing Protein (ORAIP). We confirmed that ischemia/reperfusion, ultraviolet-irradiation, and ionizing radiation significantly increased plasma levels of ORAIP in vivo, supporting that secretion of ORAIP is specific to the oxidative stress. To investigate the role of ORAIP in doxorubicin-induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes. METHODS: We analyzed plasma levels of ORAIP in rats treated with doxorubicin (10 mg/Kg) in vivo, and the effects of neutralizing anti-ORAIP monoclonal antibody (mAb) on doxorubicin-induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes in vitro. RESULTS: The (mean ± SE) plasma ORAIP levels before doxorubicin administration were (13.7 ± 2.7) ng/mL, they markedly increased with peak levels ([178.6 ± 6.5] ng/mL, p < 0.00001, vs. before administration) at 20 to 60 min after doxorubicin administration, then gradually decreased to (118.0 ± 4.8) ng/mL at 120 min. Treatment with a neutralizing anti-ORAIP mAb significantly (nearly 50%) suppressed doxorubicin-induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that doxorubicin induces oxidative stress resulting in the strong expression of ORAIP in cardiac myocytes and marked secretion of ORAIP into peripheral circulation. This strongly suggests that ORAIP can be a novel sensitive biomarker as well as a possible therapeutic target for doxorubicin-induced cell injury in anti-cancer therapy.

Oxidative stress, an inducer of apoptosis, plays a critical role in ischemia/reperfusion injury and atherosclerosis. We previously identified an apoptosis-inducing ligand, the post-translationally modified secreted form of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), 'oxidative stress-responsive apoptosis-inducing protein' (ORAIP). In this study, we investigated the role of ORAIP in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), a leading cause of premature cardiovascular disease. We analyzed plasma ORAIP and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) levels in 60 patients with HeFH (60% male, 57.0 ± 13.6 years of age) and 20 patients with LDL-C hypercholesterolemia (DL, 85% male, 64.1 ± 13.3 years of age). The coronary artery atherosclerosis from the patients with HeFH who had a coronary artery bypass graft was investigated by double immunostaining. The plasma ORAIP levels in the patients with HeFH were significantly elevated compared to those in the patients with DL (73.5 ± 46.0 vs. 48.3 ± 21.4 ng/mL, p = 0.0277). The plasma oxLDL levels in HeFH patients were also elevated (156.8 ± 65.2 vs. 123.7 ± 46.6 mg/dL, p = 0.0461) compared to those in DL patients and correlated with maxLDL-C levels (R = 0.4454, p = 0.00648). Double-immunostaining of ORAIP and oxLDL in the coronary artery from patients with HeFH who had a coronary artery bypass graft showed that ORAIP and oxLDL were colocalized with apoptotic vascular smooth muscle cells in the atherosclerotic plaque. ORAIP plays a role in the development of oxidative stress-induced atherosclerosis and may be an important therapeutic target for plaque rupture in patients with HeFH.

Oxidative stress is known to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of various disorders, especially in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We identified an apoptosis-inducing humoral factor and named this novel post translationally modified secreted form of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) "oxidative stress-responsive apoptosis inducing protein" (ORAIP). The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of ORAIP in the mechanisms of cerebral I/R injury. Hypoxia/reoxygenation induced expression of ORAIP in cultured rat cerebral neurons, resulting in extensive apoptosis of these cells, which was largely suppressed by neutralizing anti-ORAIP monoclonal antibody (mAb) in vitro. Recombinant-ORAIP induced extensive apoptosis of cerebral neurons. Cerebral I/R induced expression of ORAIP in many neurons in a rat tandem occlusion model in vivo. In addition, we analyzed the effects of intracerebroventricular administration of neutralizing anti-ORAIP mAb on the development of cerebral infarction. Cerebral I/R significantly increased ORAIP levels in cerebrospinal fluid. Treatment with intracerebroventricular administration of neutralizing anti-ORAIP mAb reduced infarct volume by 72%, and by 55% even when started after reperfusion. These data strongly suggest that ORAIP plays a pivotal role and will offer a critical therapeutic target for cerebral I/R injury induced by thrombolysis and thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.

PURPOSE: Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various disorders, including diabetic retinopathy (DR). Oxidative stress-responsive apoptosis-inducing protein (ORAIP; a tyrosine-sulfated secreted form of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A [eIF5A]) is a recently discovered pro-apoptotic ligand that is secreted from cells in response to oxidative stress and induces apoptosis in an autocrine fashion. This study aimed to determine if ORAIP plays a role in DR. METHODS: To investigate the role of ORAIP in DR, we analyzed the levels of ORAIP in the vitreous body and their relationship with the extent of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantify the levels of ORAIP, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8 in the vitreous body of 40 eyes from 28 patients with PDR and 11 patients with non-PDR (NPDR). We also analyzed the expression of ORAIP in insoluble proliferative tissues from vitreous body samples by immunofluorescent staining. RESULTS: The vitreous body concentration of ORAIP was significantly (P = 0.0433) higher in the PDR group (52.26 ± 8.68 [mean ± SE] ng/mL, n = 29) than in the NPDR group (28.21 ± 7.30 ng/mL, n = 11). However, there were no significant correlations between the concentration of ORAIP and those of VEGF, IL-6, CCL2, or IL-8. ORAIP expression was observed in the insoluble proliferative tissues in vitreous body samples of most patients in the PDR group, whereas almost no expression of ORAIP was observed in patients in the NPDR group. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings strongly suggest that ORAIP plays a role in oxidative stress-induced retinal injury and may be a sensitive diagnostic marker and a promising therapeutic target for oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity.

We previously identified a novel apoptosis-inducing humoral factor in the conditioned medium of hypoxic/reoxygenated-cardiac myocytes. We named this novel post-translationally-modified secreted-form of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A Oxidative stress-Responsive Apoptosis-Inducing Protein (ORAIP). We confirmed that myocardial ischemia/reperfusion markedly increased plasma ORAIP levels and rat myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury was clearly suppressed by neutralizing anti-ORAIP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in vivo. In this study, to investigate the mechanism of cell injury of cardiac myocytes and pancreatic ß-cells involved in diabetes mellitus (DM), we analyzed plasma ORAIP levels in DM model rats and the role of ORAIP in high glucose-induced apoptosis of cardiac myocytes in vitro. We also examined whether recombinant-ORAIP induces apoptosis in pancreatic ß-cells. Plasma ORAIP levels in DM rats during diabetic phase were about 18 times elevated as compared with non-diabetic phase. High glucose induced massive apoptosis in cardiac myocytes (66.2 ± 2.2%), which was 78% suppressed by neutralizing anti-ORAIP mAb in vitro. Furthermore, recombinant-ORAIP clearly induced apoptosis in pancreatic ß-cells in vitro. These findings strongly suggested that ORAIP plays a pivotal role in hyperglycemia-induced myocardial injury and pancreatic ß-cell injury in DM. ORAIP will be a biomarker and a critical therapeutic target for cardiac injury and progression of DM itself.
RESUMEN
Oxidative stress is known to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various disorders including atherosclerosis, aging and especially ischaemia/reperfusion injury. It causes cell damage that leads to apoptosis. However, the precise mechanism has been uncertain. Recently, we identified an apoptosis-inducing humoral factor in a hypoxia/reoxygenated medium of cardiac myocytes. We named this novel post-translationally modified secreted form of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) as oxidative stress-responsive apoptosis inducing protein (ORAIP). We developed a sandwich ELISA and confirmed that myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion markedly increased plasma levels of ORAIP. To investigate whether the role of ORAIP is common to various types of oxidative stress, we measured plasma ORAIP levels in rats subjected to three physicochemical models of oxidative stress including N2/O2 inhalation, cold/warm-stress (heat shock) and blood acidification. In all three models, plasma ORAIP levels significantly increased and reached a peak level at 10-30 min after stimulation, then decreased within 60 min. The (mean±S.E.M.) plasma ORAIP levels before and after (peak) stimulation were (16.4±9.6) and (55.2±34.2) ng/ml in N2/O2 inhalation, (14.1±12.4) and (34.3±14.6) ng/ml in cold/warm-stress, and (18.9±14.3) and (134.0±67.2) ng/ml in blood acidification study. These data strongly suggest that secretion of ORAIP in response to oxidative stress is universal mechanism and plays an essential role. ORAIP will be an important novel biomarker as well as a specific therapeutic target of these oxidative stress-induced cell injuries.

Oxidative stress plays a critical role in ischemia/reperfusion-injury, atherosclerosis, and aging. It causes cell damage that leads to apoptosis via uncertain mechanisms. Because conditioned medium from cardiac myocytes subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation induces extensive apoptosis of cardiac myocytes under normoxia, we hypothesized that a humoral factor released from the hypoxic/reoxygenated cardiac myocytes mediates apoptosis. We identified an apoptosis-inducing humoral factor in the hypoxia/reoxygenation-conditioned medium. Here, we found that eIF5A undergoes tyrosine sulfation in the trans-Golgi and is rapidly secreted from cardiac myocytes in response to hypoxia/reoxygenation; then, eIF5A induces apoptosis by acting as a pro-apoptotic ligand. The apoptosis of cardiac myocytes induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation or ultraviolet irradiation was suppressed by anti-eIF5A neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in vitro. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (but not ischemia alone) markedly increased the plasma levels of eIF5A, and treatment with anti-eIF5A neutralizing mAbs significantly reduced myocardial injury. These results identify an important, novel specific biomarker and a critical therapeutic target for oxidative stress-induced cell injury.
