Studies on peroxynitrite-modified H1 histone: Implications in systemic lupus erythematosus
چکیده انگلیسی
Peroxynitrite is a powerful nitrating and oxidizing molecule and capable of modifying proteins' structure. Hyper-nitration of tyrosine residues has been seen in various pathological states, including autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. SLE, a chronic autoimmune disease, is primarily characterized by increased levels of autoantibodies, predominantly against ds-DNA. However, the initial antigenic stimulus for the disease etiopathogenesis has remained elusive. Carbonyl and nitrotyrosine have been extensively used as a biomarker of oxidative and nitrosative stress. In this study, commercially available H1 histone was exposed to increasing concentrations of peroxynitrite for 30 min. The peroxynitrite-mediated structural changes in histone were studied by ultraviolet & fluorescence spectroscopy, CD, HPLC, 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid binding and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Analysis of results revealed that carbonyl and nitrotyrosine contents were significantly increased in peroxynitrite-modified H1 compared to native H1. In experimental animal, peroxynitrite-modified H1 induced high titre antibodies as compared to native H1, and the immunogenicity was found to be directly proportional to nitrotyrosine content. Further, the induced antibodies showed specificity for the immunogen and appreciable cross-reactions with tyrosine rich nitrated proteins. Formation of high molecular weight immune complex with retarded mobility further supports the specificity of induced anti-peroxynitrite-modified H1 antibodies for the immunogen. Binding of SLE anti-DNA autoantibodies with peroxynitrite-modified H1 was analyzed by direct binding and competition ELISA. The data show preferential binding of SLE autoantibodies to peroxynitrite-modified H1 as compared to native H1 histone and native DNA. The results point towards the possible role of peroxynitrite-modified H1 histone in SLE etiopathogenesis.
