Redox control of microglial function: molecular mechanisms and functional significance.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by chronic microglial over-activation and oxidative stress. It is now beginning to be recognized that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by either microglia or the surrounding environment not only impact neurons but also modulate microglial activity. In this review, we first analyze the hallmarks of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory phenotyp...
متن کاملDisulfides as redox switches: from molecular mechanisms to functional significance.
The molecular mechanisms underlying thiol-based redox control are poorly defined. Disulfide bonds between Cys residues are commonly thought to confer extra rigidity and stability to their resident protein, forming a type of proteinaceous spot weld. Redox biologists have been redefining the role of disulfides over the last 30-40 years. Disulfides are now known to form in the cytosol under condit...
متن کاملRedox control of asthma: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities.
An imbalance in reducing and oxidizing (redox) systems favoring a more oxidative environment is present in asthma and linked to the pathophysiology of the defining symptoms and signs including airflow limitation, hyper-reactivity, and airway remodeling. High levels of hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide ((*)NO), and 15-F(2t)-isoprostane in exhaled breath, and excessive oxidative protein products in...
متن کاملRedox Control of Vascular Function.
In the past several years, a significant body of work has been published in ATVB about new research in the field of vascular biology and redox signaling. We would like to highlight new publications that have enriched our understanding of redox signaling in the context of vasculopathy. Although redox balance and perturbation involve a plethora of proteins and signaling molecules, the focus of re...
