Objective: Cytochrome b5-reductase (CYB5R) and cytochrome P450 reductase (CYPOR) are important for cell metabolism; however, their role in thyroid hormonogenesis and carcinogenesis has not been elucidated yet. The activity of CYB5R correlates with the metastasis in breast cancer, but there are no similar studies for CYB5R and CYPOR for thyroid tumors. The aim of this study was to elucidate the activity of CYB5R and CYPOR changes in benign euthyroid and hyperthyroid neoplasms and in papillary thyroid cancer for their potential application as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis prediction of thyroid cancer.
Methods: Thirty-six patients with thyroid diseases participated in the study. The control euthyroid nodular goiter group included ten patients; the thyrotoxic nodular or diffuse goiter group included 14 patients; the papillary thyroid cancer T1-2N0-1M0 (PTC) group included 12 patients. The activity of CYB5R and CYPOR was assessed with lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence stimulated by NADH and NADPH, respectively.
Results: Compared to the control euthyroid nodular goiter group, activity of CYB5R and CYPOR increased ~5 and 10 times, respectively, in toxic goiter, and 15 and 30 times, respectively, in half of cases of PTC. The change in activity of CYPOR was more pronounced compared to CYB5R. Within the PTC group, the subgroups with low and high activities of microsomal reductases were identified. Microsomal reductases in follicular adenoma was 2-4-fold less active compared to the euthyroid nodular goiter and the low-activity PTC group.
Conclusions: Activity of tissue microsomal reductases varies in thyroid pathology and can be considered as a promising biomarker for differential diagnostics of benign and malignant thyroid tumors.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important and controversial role in carcinogenesis. Microsomal redox chains containing NADH- and NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases are among the main sites of intracellular ROS synthesis, but their role in the oxidative balance has not been fully studied. Here, we studied the activity of cytochrome b5 reductase (CYB5R) and cytochrome P450 reductase (CYPOR) in ovarian cancer tissues and cells isolated from peritoneal fluid, along with the antioxidant capacity of peritoneal fluid.

Article Synopsis
- - Recessive congenital methemoglobinemia (RCM) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CYB5R3 gene, resulting in a deficiency of the NADH cytochrome b5 reductase enzyme; it can be classified into two types based on the extent of red blood cell impact.
- - A case study of a 5-year-old boy with cyanosis and low oxygen saturation revealed two specific mutations in the CYB5R3 gene that led to abnormal protein structures, contributing to his condition of RCM type I.
- - The findings indicate that the severity of methemoglobinemia, whether classified as type I or II, correlates with the nature of CYB5R3

Methemoglobinemia is an acquired or inherited condition resulting from oxidative stress or dysfunction of the NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase or associated pathways. This study describes the clinical, pathophysiological, and molecular genetic features of a cat with hereditary methemoglobinemia. Whole genome sequencing and mRNA transcript analyses were performed in affected and control cats.

Objective: To determine whether dogs with cytochrome b5 reductase (CYB5R) deficiency have a constitutive proinflammatory phenotype, characterize hematologic and serum chemistry results, and describe changes in methemoglobin (MetHb) levels and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations after long-term per os (PO) methylene blue (MB) therapy.
Animals: 21 client-owned dogs (CYB5R deficient, n = 10; healthy controls, 11).
Procedures: In this prospective, case-control study, methemoglobin levels were measured using a blood gas analyzer with co-oximetry.

Iron, an essential element for most of living organisms, participates in many biological functions. Since iron is redox-active transition metal, it is known that excessive levels stimulate the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exacerbate cytotoxicity. An iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world (about 30% of the population) and is more common than cases of iron overload.
