Superoxide anion and NO can react to form the highly oxidizing species peroxynitrite (ONOO-) which can react directly with hemoglobin (Hb) even in the presence of physiological concentration CO2. This research was to determine the ONOO- -mediated oxidation damage to the heme of oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) under conditions expected in blood. Results showed that 8-10 mol ONOO- was needed to quickly and completely convert 1 mol oxyHb to methemoglobin (metHb). ONOO- (20-140 microM) caused rapid and extensive formation of metHb from oxyHb (50 microM) mainly occurring within first 5-20 min of incubation. The conversion efficiency reached 16%, 48%, 60%, 79% and 88% output of metHb after 90 min of incubation at 0, 20, 40, 100, and 140 microM ONOO- respectively. 1 mM CO2 caused a small decrease in the ability of ONOO- to oxidize oxyHb, and ONOO- -promoted conversion of oxyHb to metHb increased when pH decreased from 8.0 to 6.0. Relatively lower temperature in blood condition will inhibit this reaction in some degree. We postulate that ONOO- can mediate oxidation damage to the heme, and cause heme loss from the hydrophobic cavity of Hb when its concentration exceeded 90 microM. These results indicated that ONOO- could convert oxyHb to metHb under the conditions expected in blood, and this reaction was regulated by CO2 concentration, reaction time, temperature and pH value.

Calcium-based nanomaterials-mediated Ca overload-induced pyroptosis and its application in tumor therapy have received considerable attention. However, the calcium buffering capacity of tumor cells can maintain mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, so it is important to effectively disrupt this homeostasis to activate pyroptosis. Here, a nano-modulator CUR@CaCO-PArg@HA (CCAH) was developed to regulate calcium overload in multiple channels and activate pyroptosis.

Ferroptosis is a type of cell death triggered by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides in cells. Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, can lead to various health complications. The process of ferroptosis and the progression of diabetes are closely linked to redox homeostasis, which is regulated by the levels of reactive oxygen and sulfur species.

Sulfur dioxide (SO), being a novel gaseous signaling molecule, exhibits significant potential for application in the field of cardiovascular diseases. SO donors serve as crucial tools for the transportation and regulation of SO in vivo, facilitating the investigation of physiological roles associated with this molecule. However, the current therapeutic SO donors lack the capability to monitor the real-time release of SO, thereby hindering accurate assessment of their therapeutic efficacy and target localization.

Accurate and selective techniques for visualizing endogenous peroxynitrite (ONOO) in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) models are essential for understanding its complex pathological processes. Here, we introduced a longwave fluorescent probe TJO for detecting ONOO rapidly and sensitively, with a low detection limit of 91 nM. Furthermore, TJO exhibits excellent fluorescence imaging capabilities, enabling detailed visualization of ONOO⁻ in CIRI mice model.

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is associated with the development and progression of chronic cardiovascular diseases through the deleterious effects of high levels of homocysteine (Hcy) on the cardiovascular system. However, the exact mechanism of action of Hcy on the acute injury of the cardiovascular system following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) remains unclear. The present study demonstrated that copper mobilization occurs during cardiac I/R, and the interactive toxic effect of Hcy and mobile Cu during cardiac I/R induces necroptosis of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) and thus enhances cardiac dysfunction.
