متن کاملSuperoxide radical and superoxide dismutases.
O2- oxidizes the [4Fe-4S] clusters of dehydratases, such as aconitase, causing-inactivation and release of Fe(II), which may then reduce H2O2 to OH- +OH.. SODs inhibit such HO. production by scavengingO2-, but Cu, ZnSODs, by virtue of a nonspecific peroxidase activity, may peroxidize spin trapping agents and thus give the appearance of catalyzing OH. production from H2O2. There is a glycosylate...
متن کاملNitric oxide inhibits superoxide production by inflammatory polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Nitric oxide (NO ⋅) has a complex role in the inflammatory response. In this study, we modified the levels of endogenous NO ⋅ in vivo in an acute model of inflammation and evaluated the interactions between NO ⋅ and superoxide anion ([Formula: see text]) produced by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) accumulated in the inflamed area. We injected phosphate-buffered saline (control group), 6 μmo...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutases in parasitoids' venom
Background: Endoparasitoid wasps inject venom proteins at oviposition to alter host immunity. Results: The venom of Leptopilina boulardi but not of a related species contains an active extracellular SOD. Recombinant SODs inhibit the Drosophila host phenoloxidase activity. Conclusion: An extracellular SOD is secreted and active in an insect fluid. Significance: SODs may be used as immune suppres...
متن کاملSuperoxide Dismutases in Pancreatic Cancer
The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing as the population ages but treatment advancements continue to lag far behind. The majority of pancreatic cancer patients have a K-ras oncogene mutation causing a shift in the redox state of the cell, favoring malignant proliferation. This mutation is believed to lead to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activation and su...
