Mechanisms regulating NADPH oxidase remain open and include the redox chaperone protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). Here, we further investigated PDI effects on vascular NADPH oxidase. VSMC transfected with wild-type PDI (wt-PDI) or PDI mutated in all four redox cysteines (mut-PDI) enhanced (2.5-fold) basal cellular ROS production and membrane NADPH oxidase activity, with 3-fold increase in Nox1, but not Nox4 mRNA. However, further ROS production, NADPH oxidase activity and Nox1 mRNA increase triggered by angiotensin-II (AngII) were totally lost with PDI overexpression, suggesting preemptive Nox1 activation in such cells. PDI overexpression increased Nox4 mRNA after AngII stimulus, although without parallel ROS increase. We also show that Nox inhibition by the nitric oxide donor GSNO is independent of PDI. PDI silencing decreased specifically Nox1 mRNA and protein, confirming that PDI may regulate Nox1 at transcriptional level in VSMC. Such data further strengthen the role of PDI as novel NADPH oxidase regulator.

Although angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) and its role as a part of the "protective" axis of the renin-angiotensin system are well described in the literature, the mechanisms of its angiotensin II-like pressor and tachycardic effects following its acute central administration are not fully understood. It was the aim of the present study to examine which receptors contribute to the aforementioned cardiovascular effects. Ang 1-7 and antagonists for glutamate, GABA, vasopressin, thromboxane A (TP), α-adrenergic, and P2X purinoceptors or modulators of oxidative stress were injected into the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) of urethane-anesthetized male Wistar rats.

Ferroptosis plays an important role in radiotherapy (RT), and the induction of ferroptosis can effectively sensitize radiotherapy. However, the therapeutic efficiency is always affected by ferroptosis resistance, especially SLC7A11 (Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11)-cystine-cysteine-GSH (glutathione)-GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4) pathway-mediated resistance. In this study, tumor-microenvironment self-activated high-Z element-containing nanoferroptosis inducers, PEGylated Fe-Bi-SS metal-organic frameworks (FBSP MOFs), were developed to sensitize RT.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the role of Cytochrome b-245 chaperone 1 (CYBC1) in glioblastoma (GBM) progression, focusing on its involvement in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and associated signaling pathways. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driven by CYBC1 could provide new therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for GBM.
Materials And Methods: Publicly available datasets were analyzed to assess CYBC1 expression in GBM and its correlation with patient survival.

Neutrophils are essential for host defense against infections, but they also play a key role in acute and chronic inflammation. The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes the lymphoid-specific tyrosine phosphatase (Lyp) and a genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism of PTPN22 rs2476601 (R620W) has been associated with several human autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we investigated the role of Lyp in TNFα-induced priming of neutrophil ROS production and in the development of arthritis using new selective Lyp inhibitors.
