Mitochondrial targeted antioxidant Peptide ameliorates hypertensive cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the effect of reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress by the mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant peptide SS-31 in hypertensive cardiomyopathy. BACKGROUND Oxidative stress has been implicated in hypertensive cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondria and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase have been proposed as primary sites of reactive oxygen speci...
متن کاملBIRO1, a cell-permeable BH3 peptide, promotes mitochondrial fragmentation and death of retinoblastoma cells.
UNLABELLED Retinoblastoma is the most common pediatric intraocular neoplasm. While retinoblastoma development requires the inactivation of both alleles of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (RB1) in the developing retina, additional genomic changes are involved in tumor progression, which progressively lead to resistance of tumor cells to death. Therapeutics acting at very downstream leve...
متن کاملCell-Permeable Bicyclic Peptide Inhibitors against Intracellular Proteins
Cyclic peptides have great potential as therapeutic agents and research tools but are generally impermeable to the cell membrane. Fusion of cyclic peptides with a cyclic cell-penetrating peptide produces bicyclic peptides that are cell-permeable and retain the ability to recognize specific intracellular targets. Application of this strategy to protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B and a peptidyl-prol...
متن کاملCell-permeable beta-peptide inhibitors of p53/hDM2 complexation.
Look at what the cat(ionic motif) dragged in! We report a general strategy to increase the cell permeability of beta(3)-peptides. Introduction of a minimal cationic motif within the folded structure of a high-affinity beta(3)-peptide ligand for hDM2 led to molecules with high 3(14)-helical structure, high hDM2 affinity and sufficient cell permeability to upregulate p53-dependent genes in live m...
متن کاملCell-permeable succinate prodrugs bypass mitochondrial complex I deficiency
Mitochondrial complex I (CI) deficiency is the most prevalent defect in the respiratory chain in paediatric mitochondrial disease. This heterogeneous group of diseases includes serious or fatal neurological presentations such as Leigh syndrome and there are very limited evidence-based treatment options available. Here we describe that cell membrane-permeable prodrugs of the complex II substrate...
