Journal ArticleDOI

A curious case of cysteines in human peroxiredoxin I.

TL;DR: Interestingly, hPrxI increases the expression of antioxidant genes, GPX1 and SOD1, and this is also seen in the case of a catalytic mutant, indicating h prxI can indirectly reduce oxidative stress independently of its own peroxidase function and thus suggesting a novel role of hPrzI in altering the expressionof other antioxidant genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redox regulation of neutrophil function.

TL;DR: This work has observed nuclear translocation of this transcription factor in neutrophils present in inflammatory exudates and observed changes in the expression of several hundred neutrophil genes during bacterial phagocytosis, which is indeed remarkable for a cell under extreme oxidative stress and destined to die within an hour or two.
Journal ArticleDOI

A monoclonal antibody recognizing the chlorohydrin derivatives of oleic acid for probing hypochlorous acid involvement in tissue injury.

TL;DR: The mAb CH-1 described here may be a useful probe for assessing the involvement of hypochlorous acid in tissue injury.
