The phagosomal lumen in macrophages is the site of numerous interacting chemistries that mediate microbial killing, macromolecular degradation, and antigen processing. Using a non-hypothesis-based screen to explore the interconnectivity of phagosomal functions, we found that NADPH oxidase (NOX2) negatively regulates levels of proteolysis within the maturing phagosome of macrophages. Unlike the ...
OBJECTIVE Endothelial cell (EC) migration is a key event for repair process after vascular injury and angiogenesis. EC migration is regulated by reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton at the leading edge and localized production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the site of injury. However, underlying mechanisms are unclear. We reported that IQGAP1, an actin binding scaffold protein, mediat...
The vascular adventitia is emerging as an important modulator of vessel remodeling. Adventitial myofibroblasts migrate to the neointima after balloon angioplasty, contributing to restenosis. We postulated that angiotensin II (Ang II) enhances adventitial myofibroblast migration in vitro via reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase-derived H(2)O(2) and that Nox4-based oxidase ...
Reactive oxygen species, ROS, are regulators of endothelial cell migration, proliferation and survival, events critically involved in angiogenesis. Different isoforms of ROS-generating NOX enzymes are expressed in the vasculature and provide distinct signaling cues through differential localization and activation. We show that mice deficient in NOX1, but not NOX2 or NOX4, have impaired angiogen...
BACKGROUND Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is characterized by recurrent life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections and aberrant inflammation. Mutations in CYBB cause X-linked CGD and account for 65% to 70% of cases in Western countries. OBJECTIVE We sought to understand the clinical manifestations associated with the X-linked CGD carrier state. METHODS We undertook a comprehensiv...
The first temperature-dependent proteins (expressed at 37 degrees C, but not 26 degrees C) to be identified in Yersinia pestis were antigens 3 (fraction 1), 4 (pH 6 antigen), and 5 (hereafter termed KatY). Antigens 3 and 4 are now established virulence factors, whereas little is known about KatY, except that it is encoded chromosomally, produced in abundance, possesses modest catalase activity,...
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) allows perfusion and reconditioning of retrieved lungs for organ transplantation. The Steen solution is specifically designed for this procedure but the mechanism through which it elicits its activity is still to be fully clarified. We speculated that Steen solution may encompass antioxidant properties allowing a reestablishment of pulmonary tissue homeostasis. Blo...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) participate in the pathogenesis of emphysema. Among ROS-producing enzymes, NOX NADPH oxidases are thought to be responsible for tissue injury associated with several lung pathologies. To determine whether NOX2 and/or NOX1 participate in the development of emphysema, their expression patterns were first studied by immunohistochemistry in the lungs of emphysematous p...
Hypoxia appears to promote contraction [hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV)] of bovine pulmonary arteries (BPA) through removal of a peroxide-mediated relaxation. This study examines the roles of BPA Nox oxidases and mitochondria in the HPV response. Inhibitors of Nox2 (0.1 mM apocynin and 50 muM gp91-dstat) and mitochondrial electron transport (10 muM antimycin and rotenone) decreased sup...
Urotensin-II (U-II) has been considered as one of the most potent vasoactive peptides, although its physiological and pathophysiological role is still not finally resolved. Recent evidence suggests that it promotes angiogenic responses in endothelial cells, although the underlying signalling mechanisms are unclear. Reactive oxygen species derived from NADPH oxidases are major signalling molecul...
