NOX5 protein, one of the most active generators of reactive oxygen species (ROS), plays an important role in many processes, including regulation of cell growth, death and differentiation. Because of its central role in ROS generation, it needs to be tightly regulated to guarantee cellular homeostasis. Contrary to other members of NADPH-oxidases family, NOX5 has its own regulatory calcium-binding domain and thus could be activated directly by calcium ions. While several mechanisms of activation have been described, very little is known about the mechanisms that could prevent the overproduction of ROS by NOX5. In the present study using calorimetric methods and circular dichroism we found that oxidation of cysteine and methionine residues of NOX5 decreases binding of Ca2+ ions and perturbs both secondary and tertiary structure of protein. Our data strongly suggest that oxidation of calcium-binding domain of NOX5 could be implicated in its inactivation, serving as a possible defense mechanism against oxidative stress.

This study explored the generation site and regulation mechanism of reactive oxygen species(ROS) in the apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells induced by furanodienone(Fur). RKO cells were treated with 200 μmol·L~(-1) of Fur, and the changes in intracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase(NOX) activity were detected by the NOX activity detection method. The control group, Fur group, diphenyleneiodonium(DPI) inhibitor group for general NOX, mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant(MitoTEMPO) group, Fur+DPI group, Fur+MitoTEMPO group, and H_2O_2 positive control group were set up.

NADPH oxidases (NOX) are membrane-bound proteins involved in the localized generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the cellular surface. In cancer, these highly reactive molecules primarily originate in mitochondria and via NOX, playing a crucial role in regulating fundamental cellular processes such as cell survival, angiogenesis, migration, invasion, and metastasis. The NOX protein family comprises seven members (NOX1-5 and DUOX1-2), each sharing a catalytic domain and an intracellular dehydrogenase site.

NADPH oxidases (NOXs) have been described as critical players in vascular remodeling, a mechanism modulated by matrix metalloproteinases. In this study, we describe for the first time the upregulation of MMP-10 through the activation of NOX5 in endothelial cells. In a chronic NOX5 overexpression model in human endothelial cells, MMP-10 production was measured at different levels: extracellular secretion, gene expression (mRNA and protein levels), and promoter activity.

NADPH oxidases (NOXs) are a family of membrane proteins responsible for intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by facilitating electron transfer across biological membranes. Despite the established activation of NOXs by protein kinase C (PKC), the precise mechanism through which PKC triggers NOX activation during breast cancer invasion remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of NOX1 and NOX5 in the invasion of MCF‑7 human breast cancer cells.

Antioxidants protect cellular function and structure by neutralizing the oxidative stress caused by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) during sperm freezing. Studies on cryopreservation using various antioxidants have demonstrated encouraging results. Many studies have used antioxidants to increase the efficiency of sperm freezing and to improve the success rate of artificial insemination and pregnancy.
