Reactive electrophiles produced during oxidative stress, such as 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), are increasingly recognized as contributing factors in a variety of degenerative and inflammatory diseases. Here we used the RNA-seq technology to characterize transcriptome responses in RKO cells induced by HNE at subcytotoxic and cytotoxic doses. RNA-seq analysis rediscovered most of the differentially ex...

Neutrophil polymorphonuclear granulocytes, the largest population of leukocytes, act as phagocytes within the humanimmune system. They posses a high potential to destroy tumor cells by oxidative and non-oxidative mechanisms. Thesemechanisms, with special emphasis on the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-halide system, are described in thiscontribution as well as the defense stra...

This review on recent research advances of the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-nonenal (HNE) has four major topics: I. the formation of HNE in various organs and tissues, II. the diverse biochemical reactions with Michael adduct formation as the most prominent one, III. the endogenous targets of HNE, primarily peptides and proteins (here the mechanisms of covalent adduct formation are desc...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because the potential neuroprotective effect of isoflurane is controversial, we attempted to study whether isoflurane after treatment provides neuroprotection in a rat model of hyperglycemia-induced ischemic hemorrhagic transformation. METHODS Rats received an injection of 50% dextrose (6 mL/kg intraperitoneally) and had a middle cerebral artery occlusion 30 minutes lat...
