Artemisinin mimics calorie restriction to trigger mitochondrial biogenesis and compromise telomere shortening in mice
Calorie restriction is known to extend lifespan among organisms by a debating mechanism underlying nitric oxide-driven mitochondrial biogenesis. We report here that nitric oxide generators including artemisinin, sodium nitroprusside, and L-arginine mimics calorie restriction and resembles hydrogen peroxide to initiate the nitric oxide signaling cascades and elicit the global antioxidative respo...
متن کاملComparison of TGF-β and Nitric oxide production by adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells between healthy pregnant and preeclamptic women
Background: Preeclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy that occurs after the 20th weeks of pregnancy.The pathophysiology of this disease is not exactly known. Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) and Nitric Oxide (NO) are thekey regulatory factors secreted by Mesenchymal stem Cells (MSCs). Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the TGF-β and NO secret...
متن کاملBiochemistry of mitochondrial nitric-oxide synthase.
We reported that the generation of nitric oxide by mitochondria is catalyzed by a constitutive, mitochondrial nitric-oxide synthase (mtNOS). Given that this production may establish the basis for a novel regulatory pathway of energy metabolism, oxygen consumption, and oxygen free radical production, it becomes imperative to identify unequivocally and characterize this enzyme to provide a basis ...
متن کاملCannabinoid Type 1 Receptor Blockade Promotes Mitochondrial Biogenesis Through Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression in White Adipocytes
OBJECTIVE Cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptor blockade decreases body weight and adiposity in obese subjects; however, the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) induces mitochondrial biogenesis and function in adipocytes. This study was undertaken to test whether CB1 receptor blockade increases the espression of eNOS and mit...
متن کاملNitric oxide mediates metabolic coupling of omentum-derived adipose stroma to ovarian and endometrial cancer cells.
Omental adipose stromal cells (O-ASC) are a multipotent population of mesenchymal stem cells contained in the omentum tissue that promote endometrial and ovarian tumor proliferation, migration, and drug resistance. The mechanistic underpinnings of O-ASCs' role in tumor progression and growth are unclear. Here, we propose a novel nitric oxide (NO)-mediated metabolic coupling between O-ASCs and g...
