چکیده

Several lines of evidence suggest that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generatated by mitochondria have a pivotal role in determining activation of cardioprotective pathways and cell survival or, alternatively, in damaging cellular components and initiating cell death. In this article, we report the role of some important components of mitochondria in determining protective ROS signaling or deleterious ROS stress. We discuss studies showing the mechanisms whereby ROS generation occurs in pre (PreC) and postconditioning (PostC) and myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury. In particular, we consider mitochondrial ROS production that target respiratory complexes, mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mKATP) channels or connexin 43 (Cx43) to activate cell survival programs, in conditioning by ischemic and pharmacologic agents. ROS signaling renders cells more resistant to the detrimental effects of I/R, via activation of enzymes and limitation of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening. Importantly, this pore plays a crucial role in determining ROS production and cell death. Moreover, we consider the role of other mitochondrial components which mainly contribute to deleterious ROS generation, namely monoamine oxidase (MAO) and growth factor adaptor Shc (p66Shc), which may interact with other components to generate ROS and may be the putative target(s) of therapeutic agents.

The effects of adenosine injection after of brain ischemia reperfusion injury on gene expression of NF-kB/p65 and activity level of ROS in male Wistar rats

Background: Unit of p65 is one of the subunits of NF-κB and its phosphorylation by stress oxidative causes activation of NF-κB. The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of adenosine injection after brain ischemia reperfusion injury on gene expression of NF-κB /p65 and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in hippocampus tissue of male wistar rats. Methods: 40 male wistar rats were rando...

Critical role of mitochondrial ROS is dependent on their site of production on the electron transport chain in ischemic heart.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation has been implicated in many pathologies including ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This led to multiple studies on antioxidant therapies to treat cardiovascular diseases but paradoxically, results have so far been mixed as ROS production can be beneficial as a signaling mechanism and in cardiac protection via preconditioning interventions. We investiga...

Effect of losartan on NOX2 transcription following acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion

Introduction: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase-2 (Nox2) is one of the predominant sources of ROS production during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and can be induced by angiotensin II. The evidence suggests that pharmacological blockers of renin-angiotensin system can exert direct tissue effects independent of their ability to regulate blood pressure. The mechanism...
