We have recently demonstrated that endogenous H2O2 plays an important role in coronary autoregulation in vivo. However, the role of H2O2 during coronary ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains to be examined. In this study, we examined whether endogenous H2O2 also plays a protective role in coronary I/R injury in dogs in vivo. Canine subepicardial small coronary arteries (>or=100 microm) and arterioles (<100 microm) were continuously observed by an intravital microscope during coronary I/R (90/60 min) under cyclooxygenase blockade (n=50). Coronary vascular responses to endothelium-dependent vasodilators (ACh) were examined before and after I/R under the following seven conditions: control, nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) inhibitor NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), catalase (a decomposer of H2O2), 8-sulfophenyltheophylline (8-SPT, an adenosine receptor blocker), L-NMMA+catalase, L-NMMA+tetraethylammonium (TEA, an inhibitor of large-conductance Ca2+-sensitive potassium channels), and L-NMMA+catalase+8-SPT. Coronary I/R significantly impaired the coronary vasodilatation to ACh in both sized arteries (both P<0.01); L-NMMA reduced the small arterial vasodilatation (both P<0.01), whereas it increased (P<0.05) the ACh-induced coronary arteriolar vasodilatation associated with fluorescent H2O2 production after I/R. Catalase increased the small arterial vasodilatation (P<0.01) associated with fluorescent NO production and increased endothelial NOS expression, whereas it decreased the arteriolar response after I/R (P<0.01). L-NMMA+catalase, L-NMMA+TEA, or L-NMMA+catalase+8-SPT further decreased the coronary vasodilatation in both sized arteries (both, P<0.01). L-NMMA+catalase, L-NMMA+TEA, and L-NMMA+catalase+8-SPT significantly increased myocardial infarct area compared with the other four groups (control, L-NMMA, catalase, and 8-SPT; all, P<0.01). These results indicate that endogenous H2O2, in cooperation with NO, plays an important cardioprotective role in coronary I/R injury in vivo.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by several key features, including hypoxia, elevated levels of hydrogen peroxide (HO), high concentrations of glutathione (GSH), and an acidic pH. Recent research has increasingly focused on harnessing or targeting these characteristics for effective cancer therapy. In this study, we developed an innovative composite bio-reactor that integrates genetically engineered bacteria with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and nano-copper manganese materials for lung cancer treatment.

Cephalosporin C (CPC) is a critical raw material for cephalosporin antibiotics produced by Acremonium chrysogenum. During fermentation, the oxygen supply is a crucial factor limiting the efficient biosynthesis of CPC. This study demonstrated that the addition of exogenous surfactants significantly increased the dissolved oxygen (DO) level, extracellular catalase content, and final CPC titer.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO), as a strong oxidant, is crucial for the aerobic metabolism of organisms and is intricately linked to the onset of numerous diseases. Real-time monitor HO levels in the environment and biological microenvironment is of paramount importance for environment protection and elucidating HO-related physiological and pathological processes. In this study, a novel near-infrared fluorescence imaging platform was developed and a near-infrared fluorescent probe FBMH was constructed based on the platform with photoinduced electron transfer mechanism.

Dysregulation of endothelial barrier integrity can lead to vascular leak and potentially fatal oedema. TNF-α controls endothelial permeability during inflammation and requires the actin organizing Ezrin-Radixin-Moesin (ERM) proteins. We identified TRAF2 and NCK-interacting kinase (TNIK) as a kinase directly phosphorylating and activating ERM, specifically at the plasma membrane of primary human endothelial cells.
