Platelet inhibition by hypochlorous acid involves cAMP signalling.

Cell Signal

December 2024

UCD School of Medicine, UCD Conway Institute, University College Dublin, Dublin 4, Belfield, Ireland; Irish Centre for Vascular Biology, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, 123 St Stephen's Green, Dublin D02 YN77, Ireland. Electronic address:

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), made by neutrophil-derived myeloperoxidase, has been suggested to inhibit platelets, however, the mechanisms involved have not been described. Here we confirm that HOCl exposure changes platelet morphology and inhibits platelet spreading and aggregation. HOCl effects could be reversed by glutathione suggesting a role for cysteine oxidation.

Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Treprostinil, a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin, has emerged as a potential treatment option.

Aim: The efficacy and safety of oral treprostinil in PAH patients remain subjects of ongoing research.

NADPH Oxidase 4: Crucial for Endothelial Function under Hypoxia-Complementing Prostacyclin.

Antioxidants (Basel)

September 2024

Division of Vascular Endothelium and Microcirculation, Department of Medicine III, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, TUD Dresden University of Technology, 01307 Dresden, Germany.

: The primary endothelial NADPH oxidase isoform 4 (NOX4) is notably induced during hypoxia, with emerging evidence suggesting its vasoprotective role through HO production. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate NOX4's significance in endothelial function under hypoxia. : Human vessels, in addition to murine vessels from mice, were explored.

Article Synopsis
  • * HS promotes vasodilation mainly by activating ATP-sensitive potassium channels and inhibiting L-type calcium channels, leading to more relaxed vascular smooth muscle cells and increased blood flow.
  • * The gas also boosts the effects of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) through the stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase and enhances nitric oxide availability, creating a synergistic effect that further supports blood vessel relaxation.
