<P><B>Objective—</B></P><P>Circulating angiogenic cells play an essential role in angiogenesis but are dysfunctional in diabetes mellitus characterized by excessive oxidative stress. We hypothesize that oxidative stress–mediated upregulation of thrombospondin-2 (TSP-2), a potent antiangiogenic protein, contributes to diabetic bone marrow–derived angiogenic cell (BMAC) dysfunction.</P><P><B>Approach and Results—</B></P><P>BMACs were isolated from adult male type 2 diabetic db/db mice and control db/+ (C57BLKS/J) mice. In Matrigel tube formation assay, angiogenic function was impaired in diabetic BMACs, accompanied by increased oxidative stress and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activity. BMAC angiogenic function was restored by overexpression of dominant negative Rac1 or by overexpression of manganese superoxide dismutase. TSP-2 mRNA and protein were both significantly upregulated in diabetic BMACs, mediated by increased oxidative stress as shown by a decrease in TSP-2 level after overexpression of dominant negative Rac1 or manganese superoxide dismutase. Silencing TSP-2 by its small interfering RNA in diabetic BMACs improved BMAC function in tube formation, adhesion, and migration assays. Notably, the upregulation of TSP-2 was also found in BMACs from streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic mice, and normal BMACs with high glucose treatment. let-7f, a microRNA which has been related to endothelial angiogenic function, is found to play key role in TSP-2 increase, but let-7f did not directly interact with TSP-2 mRNA.</P><P><B>Conclusions—</B></P><P>The upregulation of TSP-2 mediated by increased oxidative stress contributes to angiogenesis dysfunction in diabetic BMACs.</P>
Methylated Organic Metabolites of Arsenic and their Cardiovascular Toxicities

Recently, arsenic-toxicity has become the major focus of strenuous assessment and dynamic research from the academy and regulatory agency. To elucidate the cause and the mechanism underlying the serious adverse health effects from chronic ingestion of arsenic-contaminated drinking water, numerous studies have been directed on the investigation of arsenic-toxicity using various in vitro as well as in vivo systems. Neverthless, some questions for arsenic effects remain unexplained, reflecting the contribution of unknown factors to the manifestation of arsenic-toxicity. Interestingly, very recent studies on arsenic metabolites have discovered that trivalent methylated arsenicals show stronger cytotoxic and genotoxic potentials than inorganic arsenic or pentavalent metabolites, arguing that these metabolites could play a key role in arsenic-associated disorders. In this review, recent progress and literatures are summarized on the metabolism of trivalent methylated metabolites and their toxicity on body systems including cardiovascular system in an effort to provide an insight into the future research on arsenic-associated disorders.

<B>Summary</B><P>Salsolinol, an endogenous neurotoxin, is known to be involved in the neuropathy of Parkinson’s disease and chronic alcoholism. In these diseases, increased thrombotic events are also commonly reported, yet the mechanism underlying remains poorly understood. Here we report that salsolinol can enhance agonist-induced platelet aggregation and granular secretion, which is essential in the thrombus formation. In rat and human platelets, agonist-induced platelet aggregation was significantly increased by salsolinol in a concentration-dependent manner. Agonist-induced granular secretions of serotonin and concomitant P-selectin expression were also augmented by salsolinol. α2-adrenergic blockers attenuated the salsolinol-enhanced aggregation and the inhibition of cyclic AMP generation was found, suggesting the involvement of α2-adrenergic receptor-mediated pathways in these events. In accord with the in-vitro results, in an arterial and venous thrombosis model in vivo in the rat, salsolinol shortened vessel occlusion time and increased thrombus formation, respectively. In conclusion, we demonstrated that sal-solinol can enhance agonist-induced aggregation and granular secretion in platelets through α2-adrenergic receptor activation, which resulted in the increased thrombus formation in vivo.These results suggest that salsolinol-enhanced platelet aggregation could be a possible contributing factor to the thrombotic events observed in Parkinson’s disease and alcoholism.</P>
