Myeloperoxidase induces the priming of platelets

TL;DR: It can be suggested that MPO can interact with and activate platelets, which can induce priming of platelets and contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory processes in vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic in vitro nanotoxicity study on anodic alumina nanotubes with engineered aspect ratio: Understanding nanotoxicity by a nanomaterial model

TL;DR: The toxic AR window of AANTs was determined to be 7.8, which is shorter than that of other previously reported HAR nanomaterials, which provides a promising opportunity to control the nanotoxicity of HAR nanmaterials for their advanced drug delivery application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aging related functional and structural changes in the heart and aorta: MitoTEMPO improves aged-cardiovascular performance.

TL;DR: The present data strongly support the important role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in the development of aged‐related insufficiencies and that antioxidant strategies specifically targeting this organelle could have therapeutic benefit in aging‐associated complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophil-generated HOCl leads to non-specific thiol oxidation in phagocytized bacteria.

TL;DR: It is shown that bacteria exposed to a neutrophil-like cell line experience a rapid and massive oxidation of cytosolic thiols and this massive breakdown of the thiol redox homeostasis was dependent on phagocytosis, presence of NADPH oxidase and ultimately myeloperoxidase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 in Regulating Cancer Metabolism.

TL;DR: The molecular characteristics of theNRF2 pathway are reviewed, its interactions with the cancer hallmarks previously listed are discussed, and large-scale genomic and transcriptomic studies are missing to correlate the clinical outcome with the activity of the NRF2 system.

ROS as signalling molecules: mechanisms that generate specificity in ROS homeostasis

TL;DR: The pathways that regulate ROS homeostasis are crucial for mitigating the toxicity of ROS and provide strong evidence about specificity in ROS signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of the probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin as an indicator of reactive oxygen species formation and oxidative stress.

TL;DR: Data suggest that H2O2-Fe(2+)-derived oxidant is mainly responsible for the nonenzymatic oxidation of DCFH, which remains an attractive probe as an overall index of oxidative stress in toxicological phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconciling the chemistry and biology of reactive oxygen species

TL;DR: This review examines how target selectivity and antioxidant effectiveness vary for different oxidants and highlights areas where greater understanding is required on the fate of oxidants generated by cellular NADPH oxidases and on the identification of oxidant sensors in cell signaling.
Journal Article

Flow cytometric studies of oxidative product formation by neutrophils: a graded response to membrane stimulation.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the DCFH oxidation assay is quantitatively related to the oxidative metabolic burst of PMNL, and they strongly suggest that the reaction is mediated by H2O2 generated by the PMNL.
