Regulation of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase by Rac GTPase. | LitMetric

Regulation of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase by Rac GTPase.

Published: January 2007

Phagocytic leukocytes generate reactive oxygen species important for the killing of invading microorganisms. The source of these oxidants is the NADPH oxidase, a tightly controlled multicomponent enzyme made up of a membrane-associated catalytic moiety and cytosolic regulatory components that must assemble to form the active oxidase. The phagocyte NADPH oxidase was the first mammalian system shown to be directly regulated by a Rac GTPase. We review here our understanding of NADPH oxidase regulation by Rac, as well as the regulation of Rac itself, in phagocytic leukocytes. Rather than viewing Rac as a "cog" in the NADPH oxidase machinery, we argue for a view of Rac GTPases as critical "molecular switches" regulating the formation of ROS by phagocytic leukocytes under physiologic and pathologic conditions.

Background: This study investigates the role of dual oxidase 2 (DUOX1) in fibroblast-like synoviocytes associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to elucidate its potential mechanism of action.

Method: The anti-inflammatory effects of DUOX1 were assessed using IL-1β (interleukin-1 beta)-stimulated synovial fibroblasts (MH7A). Cell viability and migration were evaluated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays, respectively.

p-Coumaric acid alleviates neuronal damage in ischemic stroke mice by promoting BACH1 nuclear export and degradation.

Oxidative damage induced by glutamate triggers neuronal death in cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury. BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) is a major link between the cellular heme level, the redox state and the transcriptional response. p-Coumaric acid (p-CA) is a natural antioxidant that has been shown to ameliorate ischemic/reperfusion injury.

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for colorectal cancer (CRC), but due to the intrinsic resistance of cells or resistance caused by long-term radiotherapy, the effectiveness of this treatment is limited for some CRC patients. Consequently, identifying novel sensitization strategies is essential. This study identifies as a marker linked to radiotherapy resistance in CRC, suggesting its potential as a prognostic biomarker for patients with CRC.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a worldwide clinical burden associated with high morbidity and mortality. Remote ischemic preconditioning (rIPC), a brief nonlethal ischemia and reperfusion (IR) in remote tissues or limbs, has been used in an attempt to protect against AKI, but its underlying signaling pathways has not been elucidated. In the present study, rIPC protected kidney function and pathological injury and mitigated NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) upregulation in different AKI models (cisplatin, LPS and IRI).

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing NADPH oxidase (Nox) family proteins are involved in host defense. The overproduction of ROS leads to oxidative stress, which is associated with a myriad of diseases. The Nox subunit p22 is essential for Nox1-4 activity, and p22 and Nox2 proteins are mutually stabilized in phagocytic cells.
