Oxidized Phosphatidylserine: Production and Bioactivities
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent development of analytical methods for lipid hydroperoxides and preparation of highly pure lipid hydroperoxides have revealed the important new pathophysiological roles of oxidized phospholipids. Generation of reactive oxygen species and subsequent oxidative stress leads to random oxidation of membrane phospholipids. However, recent studies have reported that anionic phospholipid molecules such as phosphatidylserine (PS) and cardiolipin are preferentially oxidized during apoptosis, resulting in efficient apoptosis execution and apoptotic cell clearance by phagocytes. This review is exclusively focused on selective production of oxidized PS (oxPS) during apoptosis as well as the novel roles of oxPS under pathophysiological conditions.

Mechanisms Underlying Production And Externalization of Oxidized Phosphatidylserine in Apoptosis: Involvement of Mitochondria
The present study was performed by using selective inhibitors of caspase-8 and caspase-3 functioning upstream and downstream from mitochondria, respectively to determine whether mitochondria are involved in the mechanisms underlying production and externalization of oxidized phosphatidylserine (PSox) during Fas-mediated apoptosis. Treatment with anti-Fas antibody induced caspase-3 activation, c...
متن کاملNitric oxide and the bioactivities
Nitric oxide (NO), previously known as Endothelium-Derived Relaxing Factor (EDRF) is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms. It is synthesized endogenously by the enzymes Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) in specialized tissues from its precursor L-arginine, yielding L-citrulline as a byproduct. It is released by a family of isoenzymes, viz., the endothelial (eNOS...
متن کاملEnhancement of Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Curcumin Using Phosphatidylserine-Containing Nanoparticles in Cultured Macrophages
Macrophages are one kind of innate immune cells, and produce a variety of inflammatory cytokines in response to various stimuli, such as oxidized low density lipoprotein found in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this study, the effect of phosphatidylserine on anti-inflammatory activity of curcumin-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers was investigated using macrophage cultures. Different ...
