Oxidative stress responses--what have genome-scale studies taught us?

Genome Biol

Department of Genetics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7614, USA.

Published: June 2002

Oxidative stress arises from an imbalance between generation and elimination of reactive oxygen species, often leading to cell death. Genomic tools are expanding our understanding of the antioxidant defenses aerobes have evolved and the recently discovered role(s) of reactive oxygen species in signaling.

Insulin resistance is a condition characterized by the attenuated biological response in the presence of normal or elevated insulin level and therefore is characterized by the impaired sensitivity to insulin and impaired glucose disposal and utilization. Insulin resistance in brain/Brain insulin resistance (BIR) is accompanied by the various manifestations including alteration in glucose sensing by hypothalamic neurons, impaired sympathetic outflow in response to hypoglycemia, increased ROS production, impaired mitochondrial oxygen consumption in the brain, cognitive deficits and neuronal cell damage. It has been reported that the disrupted insulin signaling is accompanied by the reduced expression of insulin receptor (IR)/insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1)/PI3K/AKT and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R)/IRS2/PI3K pathways.

The transsulfuration (TSS) pathway is an alternative source of cysteine for glutathione synthesis. Little of the TSS pathway in antioxidant capacity in sickle cell disease (SCD) is known. Here, we evaluate the effects of TSS pathway activation through cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) to attenuate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ferroptosis stresses in SCD.

Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction and damage can result in the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytoplasm, which subsequently activates the cGAS-STING pathway, promoting the onset of inflammatory diseases. Various factors, such as oxidative stress, viral infection, and drug toxicity, have been identified as inducers of mitochondrial damage. This study aims to investigate the role of mtDNA as a critical inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of ketamine (KET)-induced cystitis (KC) through the cGAS-STING pathway.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is promising in cancer therapy by accelerating tumor cell death, whose therapeutic efficacy, however, is greatly limited by the hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the antioxidant defense. Amplification of oxidative stress has been successfully employed for tumor therapy, but the interactions between cancer cells and the other factors of TME usually lead to inadequate tumor treatments. To tackle this issue, we develop a pH/redox dual-responsive nanomedicine based on the remodeling of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) for multi-pronged amplification of ROS (ZnPP@FQOS).
