RESUMO

Cellular processes governing vascular Nox family NADPH oxidases in disease conditions are unclear. Since redox processes are intrinsic to cell stress response, we asked whether oxidative stress merges with other types of stress via Nox(es). We focused on proteasome inhibition as a relevant stress condition. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) incubation with non-apoptotic concentrations of proteasome inhibitors MG132 or lactacystin promoted increased baseline superoxide generation (HPLC/DHE products) and NADPH oxidase activity, decreased SOD activity and GSH/GSSG ratio. Conversely, proteasome inhibitors decreased by Nox response to Angiotensin II (AngII) and abrogated Nox response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stressor tunicamycin. With MG132, basal Nox1 mRNA levels were increased, while Nox1 response to AngII was blunted. Moreover, MG132 abolished Nox4 mRNA levels TN-induced. Both AngII and TN (at 2 and 4 hs) promoted increased 20S proteasome lytic activity. We next assessed physiological consequences of MG132 in ER stress signaling, a known Nox4- mediated response. VSMC incubation with MG132 alone enhanced expression of the ER stress markers Grp78 and XBP1 and late markers such as ATF4 and proapoptotic CHOP/GADD153. Similar results occurred with the known ER stressor TN. However, co-incubation of TN and MG132 decreased Grp78, Grp94 and CHOP/GADD153, indicating that proteasome inhibition interrupts ER stress. AKT and p38 are activated by MG132 as response to stress and recover to survival. Thus, proteasome inhibition disrupts NADPH oxidase, with increased baseline activity and Nox1 expression vs. strong inhibition of stimulated Nox1 and Nox4 activation/expression. The later effect may underlie MG132-mediated inhibition of ER stress signaling. (Support: FAPESP, CNPq Milênio Redoxoma)
