Objective: Diabetes is associated with accelerated formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that are extensively found in circulating endothelial microparticles (EMPs). This study aimed to investigate whether AGEs have a direct effect on EMP formation and the possible underlying mechanism.
Methods: In vitro, cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with AGEs (200 and 400 g/ml) for 24 hours with or without pretreatment with anti-RAGE antibody, NOX inhibitor, or ROS scavenger. The number of CD31-positive EMPs was assessed by flow cytometry.
Results: The number of EMPs was significantly increased in HUVECs stimulated by AGEs in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, receptors for AGEs (RAGE), NAD(P)H oxidase (NOX), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were increased by AGEs as compared to the control group. These changes could be reversed when HUVECs were pretreated with anti-RAGE antibody. Moreover, inhibition of NOX as well as antioxidant treatment reduced the release of EMPs induced by AGEs.
Conclusion: Our study suggested that AGEs increased EMP generation, which was mediated by RAGE signaling through NOX-derived ROS.

Hyperthermia is an adjuvant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and sensitizes tumors to these treatments. However, repeated heat treatments result in acquisition of heat resistance (thermotolerance) in tumors. Thermotolerance is an adaptive survival response that appears to be mediated by upregulated cellular defenses.

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.

Oxidative stress is linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder marked by memory impairment and cognitive decline. AD is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) of hyperphosphorylated tau. AD is associated with an imbalance in redox states and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are intricate, DNA-based, web-like structures adorned with cytotoxic proteins. They play a crucial role in antimicrobial defense but are also implicated in autoimmune diseases and tissue injury. The process of NET formation, known as NETosis, is a regulated cell death mechanism that involves the release of these structures and is unique to neutrophils.

Article Synopsis
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS) from NADPH oxidase (NOX) are crucial for regulating blood vessel contraction during early development, and neonatal hypoxia alters this function.
- Normobaric hypoxia exposure in rat pups leads to significant changes in how NOX-derived ROS influence blood vessel contractions, particularly when triggered by specific agonists.
- Understanding these mechanisms may highlight risks for disorders due to hypoxia during the perinatal period, although the exact programming effects of such conditions remain largely unexplored.
