Modulation of mitochondrial respiratory function and ROS production by novel benzopyran analogues.
A substantial body of evidence indicates that pharmacological activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels (mKATP) in the heart is protective in conditions associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury. Several mechanisms have been postulated to be responsible for cardioprotection, including the modulation of mitochondrial respiratory function. The aim of the present study was to ...
متن کاملEssential role of complex II of the respiratory chain in hypoxia-induced ROS generation in the pulmonary vasculature.
In the pulmonary vasculature, the mechanisms responsible for oxygen sensing and the initiation of hypoxia-induced vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling are still unclear. Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are discussed as early mediators of the hypoxic response. Here, we describe a quantitative analysis of NO- and ROS-producing cells within the vascular walls of murine lung...
متن کاملProduction and Metabolism of ROS
small amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as superoxide (O2 ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), play important roles as signaling molecules for normal cellular functions in vascular cells. ROS modulate growth factor signaling, regulate transcription factors that control gene expression associated with proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and influence GTPase-dependent cytoskele...
متن کاملActivation of respiratory complex II by interferon-gamma and its inhibition by pyrimidine derivatives.
OBJECTIVES Formation of formazan is a commonly used measure of cytotoxicity of compounds. It is a product of reduction of tetrazolium salts such as 4-[3- (4-iodophenyl)-2- (4-nitrophenyl)-2H-5-tetrazolio]-1,3-benzene disulfonate (WST-1) and 2-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride. The extent of substrates reduction reflects the activity of enzymes succinate dehydrogenase...
متن کاملRegulation of ROS Production and Vascular Function by Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gaseous molecule produced from heme by heme oxygenase (HO). CO interacts with reduced iron of heme-containing proteins, leading to its involvement in various cellular events via its production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). CO-mediated ROS production initiates intracellular signal events, which regulate the expression of adaptive genes implicated in ox...
