OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the in vitro effect of peroxisomal dysfunction on lysosomal enzymes, the autophagic machinery in the cell, in order to understand the mechanisms of pathogenesis of peroxisomal disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS Foreskin samples were obtained immediately after circumcision of 1- to 2-day-old infants at the Maternity Hospital, Kuwait. Skin tissues we...
Oxygen products generated by the respiratory burst of mononuclear phagocytes are microbicidal to intracellular pathogens including Toxoplasma gondii. The toxicity of one of these products, H(2)O(2), is markedly amplified by the granule peroxidase of circulating phagocytes in the presence of a halide. Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) binds firmly to the surface of T. gondii and such organisms remain ...
PURPOSE Retinal light exposure is a source of oxidative stress, and retinal cells contain molecules that scavenge or inactivate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Yet, ROS also play a role in signal transduction, and some retinal cells (e.g., neurotrophin-dependent retinal ganglion cells, RGCs) may use ROS as part of the signaling process for cell death. RGCs might therefore have specialized mechan...
It has been suggested that hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) may mainly proceed via loss of normoxic vasodilation, forwarded by tonic O2-dependent formation of nitric oxide and superoxide (23). Both agents may stimulate guanylate cyclase, the latter via conversion to hydrogen peroxide and formation of compound I with catalase. We probed this hypothesis in perfused rabbit lungs, employing...
Microsomal cytochrome P-450 1A (CYP1A) in a vertebrate model (the teleost fish scup) is inactivated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB). Here, the mechanism of CYP1A inactivation and its relationship to reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation were examined by using liver microsomes from scup and rat and expressed human CYP1As. In vitro inactivation of sc...
P-glycoproteins encoded by multidrug resistance type 1 (mdr1) genes mediate ATP-dependent efflux of numerous lipophilic xenobiotics, including several anticancer drugs, from cells. Overexpression of mdr1-type transporters in tumour cells contributes to a multidrug resistance phenotype. Several factors shown to induce mdr1 overexpression (UV irradiation, epidermal growth factor, tumour necrosis ...
The poly(A) tail of an mRNA is believed to influence the initiation of translation, and the rate at which the poly(A) tail is removed is thought to determine how fast an mRNA is degraded. One key factor associated with this 3'-end structure is the poly(A)-binding protein (Pab1p) encoded by the PAB1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In an effort to learn more about the functional role of this pr...
The recruitment of monocytes via the endothelial expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a key step in the formation of the initial lesion in atherosclerosis. Because angiotensin (Ang) II may be involved in this process, we investigated its role on the signaling cascade leading to VCAM-1 expression in endothelial cells. Ang II stimulates mRNA and protein expression of VCAM-1...
Macrophages, an important cell-type of the bone marrow stroma, are possible targets of benzene toxicity because they contain relatively large amounts of prostaglandin H synthase (PHS), which is capable of metabolizing phenolic compounds to reactive species. PHS also catalyzes the production of prostaglandins, negative regulators of myelopoiesis. Studies indicate that the phenolic metabolites of...
Chen X, Patel K, Connors SG, Mendonca M, Welch WJ, Wilcox CS. Acute antihypertensive action of Tempol in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 293: H3246–H3253, 2007. First published October 12, 2007; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00957.2007.—Acute intravenous Tempol reduces mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in spontaneously hypertensive rats. We investigated...
