Oxidation of tetrahydrobiopterin leads to uncoupling of endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase in hypertension

TL;DR: Evidence is obtained that hypertension produces a cascade involving production of ROSs from the NADPH oxidase leading to oxidation of tetrahydrobiopterin and uncoupling of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), which decreases NO production and increases ROS production from eNOS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the T cell in the genesis of angiotensin II–induced hypertension and vascular dysfunction

TL;DR: A previously undefined role for T cells in the genesis of hypertension is identified and a role of inflammation in the basis of this prevalent disease isSupporting a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of high blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

NAD(P)H Oxidase 4 Mediates Transforming Growth Factor-β1-Induced Differentiation of Cardiac Fibroblasts Into Myofibroblasts

TL;DR: It is concluded that Nox 4 mediates TGF-β1–induced conversion of fibroblast to myofibroblasts by regulating Smad 2/3 activation and may play a critical role in the pathological activation of cardiac fibro Blasts in cardiac fibrosis associated with human heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross talk between mitochondria and NADPH oxidases

TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that mitochondria-targeted antioxidants break this vicious cycle of ROS production by mitochondria and reducing NADPH oxidase activity, providing a novel strategy for treatment of many pathological conditions including aging, atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, and degenerative neurological disorders in which mitochondrial oxidative stress seems to play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions of peroxynitrite, tetrahydrobiopterin, ascorbic acid, and thiols: implications for uncoupling endothelial nitric-oxide synthase.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that ONOO– uncouples eNOS by oxidation of tetrahydrobiopterin and that ascorbate does not fully protect BH4 from oxidation but recycles its radical, and that the BH 4 reaction rate constant exceeds those of thiols or asCorbate.
