AB  - The monitoring of progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) relies on clinical outcome measures that take months to interpret, such as revised ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R) score, with no approved biomarkers. A number of clinical studies have documented the involvement of oxidative stress in ALS pathology. Pertinent to this, we propose to evaluate oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a potential indicator of ALS progression. The case-control study included 24 patients with neurological non-neurodegenerative disorders (controls) and 82 ALS patients with different degrees of disease (ALSFRS-R score: 21-47). ORP was significantly higher in ALS patients than controls. It was not dependent on age or gender. A strong negative correlation was found between ORP and ALSFRS-R score for all patients and patients with spinal onset. In other words, ORP increased with ALS progression. No correlation was found for the subset of patients with bulbar onset, most likely because of the physical distance between neurodegenerative loci and the site of CSF collection. These results lead to the hypothesis that ORP of CSF has a potential as monitoring biomarker in ALS, particularly in the cohort of patients with spinal onset. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 00, 000-000.

AB  - In this work we compared the mutated liver copper zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (SOD1) protein G93A of the transgenic rat model of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS), to wild-type (WT) rat SOD1. We examined their enzymatic activities and effects on isometric contractions of uteri of healthy virgin rats. G93A SOD1 showed a slightly higher activity than WT SOD1 and, in contrast to WT SOD1, G93A SOD1 did not induce smooth muscle relaxation. This result indicates that effects on smooth muscles are not related to SOD1 enzyme activity and suggest that heterodimers of G93A SOD1 form an ion-conducting pore that diminishes the relaxatory effects of SOD1. We propose that this type of pathogenic feedback affects neurons in FALS.

AB  - Uvod: Mutirana bakar, cink superoksid-dizmutaza (SOD1) može da pravi agregate, sto predstavlja početni uzrok oštećenja motornog neurona može da izazove nastanak bolesti. U ovom radu su pokazani efekti humane bakar, cink super-oksid dizmutaze iz krvi pacijenata obolelih od familijarne amiotrofične lateralne skleroze (FALS) sa Leu144Phe (L144F) mutacijom i normalne (wild-type - WT) humane SOD1, iz krvi zdravih kontrola, na glatkom mišiću. Metode: Izolovali smo WT i L144F SOD1 enzime kod osam odabranih FALS pacijenata sa L144F mutacijom na egzonu 5 i pet zdravih kontrola. Dalje smo ispitivali aktivnost SOD1 u dobijenim uzorcima adrenalinskom metodom i elektro-foretski ih profilisali. Konačno, izolovanu WT i L144F SOD1 aplicirali smo na izolovani uterus pacova. Rezultati: Aktivnost L144F SOD1 je statistički značajno manja (p lt 0,05) u poređenju sa aktivnosti WT SOD1 zdravih kontrola. L144F ne izaziva relaksaciju glatkog mišića, kao sto je to slučaj sa WT SOD1. Zaključak: Naši rezultati pokazuju da izostanak relaksacije mišićnog tonusa u prisustvu mutirane SOD1 može imati štetni povratni efekat kod FALS pacijenata.
AB  - Background: Mutated copper, zinc-containing superoxide dismutase (SOD1) may self-aggregate, an event that could also be an initial cause of motor neuron malfunction leading to disease onset. The effects of human mutated SOD1 protein from the blood of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) patients bearing Leu144Phe (L144F) mutation were compared to wild-type (WT) human SOD1 derived from healthy examinees, for enzymatic activity and the effects on isometric contractions of non-vascular smooth muscle. Methods: We isolated WT and L144F SOD1 enzymes from eight patients with FALS, L144F mutation in exon 5 and eight healthy controls. We then investigated SOD1 activities in the obtained samples by the adrenaline method and profiled them electrophoretically. Finally, we applied WT and L144F SOD1 on the isolated rat uterus. Results: L144F SOD1 showed lower superoxide-dismutating activity compared to WT human SOD1. We found that, in contrast to WT human SOD1, mutated L144F does not induce smooth muscle relaxation. Conclusions: Our data suggest that the lack of relaxation of muscle tonus in the presence of mutated SOD1 may have pathogenic feedback effects in FALS.

AB  - ALS is characterized by oxidative damage in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid, which is exerted by pro-oxidative activity of iron. Such activity of iron can be drastically increased in the presence of inappropriate iron ligands that catalyze redox cycling of iron, thereby promoting hydroxyl radical generation. The aim of our study was to determine the relative level of inappropriate iron ligands in the cerebrospinal fluid of ALS patients. To determine the levels of inappropriate iron ligands and redox activity of iron in cerebrospinal fluid (10 samples from ALS patients and 10 controls), we applied electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. We have shown that cerebrospinal fluid of ALS patients comprises twofold increased level of inappropriate iron ligands, proportionally increasing iron redox activity and hydroxyl radical production compared to controls. In conclusion, our results strongly support the pro-oxidative/detrimental role of inappropriately chelated iron in ALS pathophysiology. The identification of biomolecules that form such iron complexes and their therapeutic targeting may represent the future of ALS treatment.

AB  - A breakdown in homeostasis of redox-active metals represents an important factor for neurodegeneration. We have used EPR spectroscopy and BMPO spin-trap to investigate the catalytic properties and ligand modulation of redox activity of copper and iron in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In contrast to iron, copper supplementation provoked a statistically significant increase in hydroxyl free radical generation in CSF treated with H(2)O(2). However, in a binary copper/iron containing Fenton system, iron catalytically activated copper. The chelator EDTA, which represents a model of physiological metal ligands, completely prevented copper's redox activity in CSF, while iron chelation led to a significant increase in hydroxyl radical generation, indicating that copper and iron do not only have diverse catalytic properties in the CSF but also that their redox activities are differently modulated by ligands. The application of DDC reduced hydroxyl radical generation in the CSF containing catalytically active metals (free Cu(2+) or Fe(3+)-EDTA complex). We conclude that chelators, such as DDC, are capable of preventing the pro-oxidative activity of both metals and may be suitable for reducing hydroxyl radical formation in certain pathophysiological settings.

AB  - Ferrous iron, released from iron deposits in the motor cortex and other brain regions of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients, participates in the Fenton reaction in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) alongside H2O2, which is continuously released by neuronal cells. In vivo, the production of notoriously reactive hydroxyl radicals via this reaction could lead to the progression of the disease. Herein, we have examined the effect of ascorbate and uric acid on the production of hydroxyl radicals in CSF from both sporadic ALS patients and control subjects. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy identified ascorbyl radicals in CSF from ALS patients whereas it was undetectable in control CSF. The addition of H2O2 to the CSF from ALS patients provoked further formation of ascorbyl radicals and the formation of hydroxyl radicals ex vivo. The hydroxyl addition of uric acid to CSF from ALS patients diminished the production of hydroxyl radicals. In conclusion, there are clear differences between the roles of the two examined radical scavengers in the CSF of ALS patients indicating that the use of ascorbate could have unfavourable effects in ALS patients.

Herein, we have examined the effect of ascorbate and uric acid on the production of hydroxyl radicals in CSF from both sporadic ALS patients and control subjects. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy identified ascorbyl radicals in CSF from ALS patients whereas it was undetectable in control CSF. The addition of H2O2 to the CSF from ALS patients provoked further formation of ascorbyl radicals and the formation of hydroxyl radicals ex vivo. The hydroxyl addition of uric acid to CSF from ALS patients diminished the production of hydroxyl radicals. In conclusion, there are clear differences between the roles of the two examined radical scavengers in the CSF of ALS patients indicating that the use of ascorbate could have unfavourable effects in ALS patients.",
