Abstract
Significance: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, and are tightly controlled through homeostatic mechanisms to maintain intracellular redox, regulating growth and proliferation in healthy cells. However, ROS production is perturbed in cancers where abnormal accumulation of ROS leads to oxidative stress and genomic instability, triggering oncogenic signaling pathways on one hand, while increasing oxidative damage and triggering ROS-dependent death signaling on the other. Recent Advances: Our review illuminates how critical interactions between ROS and oncogenic signaling, the tumor microenvironment, and DNA damage response (DDR) pathways have led to interest in ROS modulation as a means of enhancing existing anticancer strategies and developing new therapeutic opportunities. Critical Issues: ROS equilibrium exists via a delicate balance of pro-oxidant and antioxidant species within cells. "Antioxidant" approaches have been explored mainly in the form of chemoprevention, but there is insufficient evidence to advocate its routine application. More progress has been made via the "pro-oxidant" approach of targeting cancer vulnerabilities and inducing oxidative stress. Various therapeutic modalities have employed this approach, including direct ROS-inducing agents, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, DDR therapies, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Finally, emerging delivery systems such as "nanosensitizers" as radiotherapy enhancers are currently in development. Future Directions: While approaches designed to induce ROS have shown considerable promise in selectively targeting cancer cells and dealing with resistance to conventional therapies, most are still in early phases of development and challenges remain. Further research should endeavor to refine treatment strategies, optimize drug combinations, and identify predictive biomarkers of ROS-based cancer therapies.

Abstract
Cancer cells typically display redox imbalance compared with normal cells due to increased metabolic rate, accumulated mitochondrial dysfunction, elevated cell signaling, and accelerated peroxisomal activities. This redox imbalance may regulate gene expression, alter protein stability, and modulate existing cellular programs, resulting in inefficient treatment modalities. Therapeutic strategies targeting intra- or extracellular redox states of cancer cells at varying state of progression may trigger programmed cell death if exceeded a certain threshold, enabling therapeutic selectivity and overcoming cancer resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Nanotechnology provides new opportunities for modulating redox state in cancer cells due to their excellent designability and high reactivity. Various nanomaterials are widely researched to enhance highly reactive substances (free radicals) production, disrupt the endogenous antioxidant defense systems, or both. Here, the physiological features of redox imbalance in cancer cells are described and the challenges in modulating redox state in cancer cells are illustrated. Then, nanomaterials that regulate redox imbalance are classified and elaborated upon based on their ability to target redox regulations. Finally, the future perspectives in this field are proposed. It is hoped this review provides guidance for the design of nanomaterials-based approaches involving modulating intra- or extracellular redox states for cancer therapy, especially for cancers resistant to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, etc.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Genetic factors, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, metabolic disorders, cytotoxic factors, and mitochondrial dysfunction are all involved in neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases. The risk of PD can be higher in aging individuals due to decreased mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) function. The potential of AMPK to regulate neurodegenerative disorders lies in its ability to enhance antioxidant capacity, reduce oxidative stress, improve mitochondrial function, decrease mitophagy and macroautophagy, and inhibit inflammation. In addition, it has been shown that modulating the catalytic activity of AMPK can protect the nervous system. This article reviews the mechanisms by which AMPK activation can modulate PD.

Abstract
Relapse following a short clinical response to therapy is the major challenge for the management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Leukemic stem cells (LSC), as the source of relapse, have been investigated for their metabolic preferences and their alterations at the time of relapse. As LSC rely on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for energy requirement, reactive oxygen species (ROS), as by-products of OXPHOS, have been investigated for their role in the effectiveness of the standard AML therapy. Increased levels of non-mitochondrial ROS, generated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, in a subgroup of AML patients add to the complexity of studying ROS. Although there are various studies presenting the contribution of ROS to AML pathogenesis, resistance, and its inhibition or activation as a target, a model that can clearly explain its role in AML has not been conceptualized. This is due to the heterogeneity of AML, the dynamics of ROS production, which is influenced by factors such as the type of treatment, cell differentiation state, mitochondrial activity, and also the heterogeneous generation of non-mitochondrial ROS and limited available data on their interaction with the microenvironment. This review summarizes these challenges and the recent progress in this field.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were formerly known as mere byproducts of metabolism with damaging effects on cellular structures. The discovery and description of NADPH oxidases (Nox) as a whole enzyme family that only produce this harmful group of molecules was surprising. After intensive research, seven Nox isoforms were discovered, described and extensively studied. Among them, the NADPH oxidase 3 is the perhaps most underrated Nox isoform, since it was firstly discovered in the inner ear. This stigma of Nox3 as "being only expressed in the inner ear" was also used by me several times. Therefore, the question arose whether this sentence is still valid or even usable. To this end, this review solely focuses on Nox3 and summarizes its discovery, the structural components, the activating and regulating factors, the expression in cells, tissues and organs, as well as the beneficial and detrimental effects of Nox3-mediated ROS production on body functions. Furthermore, the involvement of Nox3-derived ROS in diseases progression and, accordingly, as a potential target for disease treatment, will be discussed.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is an emerging hallmark of cancer cells, enabling them to meet increased nutrient and energy demands while withstanding the challenging microenvironment. Cancer cells can switch their metabolic pathways, allowing them to adapt to different microenvironments and therapeutic interventions. This refers to metabolic heterogeneity, in which different cell populations use different metabolic pathways to sustain their survival and proliferation and impact their response to conventional cancer therapies. Thus, targeting cancer metabolic heterogeneity represents an innovative therapeutic avenue with the potential to overcome treatment resistance and improve therapeutic outcomes. This review discusses the metabolic patterns of different cancer cell populations and developmental stages, summarizes the molecular mechanisms involved in the intricate interactions within cancer metabolism, and highlights the clinical potential of targeting metabolic vulnerabilities as a promising therapeutic regimen. We aim to unravel the complex of metabolic characteristics and develop personalized treatment approaches to address distinct metabolic traits, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the role of NADPH in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using bioinformatic analyses and experimental validations. METHODS We compared the expression levels, performed GO and KEGG analysis of NADPH oxidase family and its regulatory subunits, and determined the survival of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by GEPIA, David and KM plotter. The relationship between their expression with immune infiltration levels, phagocytotic/NK cell immune checkpoints, recruitment-related molecules were detected by Timer 2.0 and TISIDB, respectively. Subsequently, their correlation with NK cell infiltration level was verified by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The expression of some members of the NADPH oxidase family and its regulatory subunits was significantly increased in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tissues compared to that in normal tissues and was positively correlated with natural killer (NK) cell infiltration. Furthermore, the NADPH oxidase family and its regulatory subunits were associated with survival and immune status in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, including chemokines, immune checkpoints, and immune infiltration levels of NK cells, monocytes, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest the NADPH oxidase family and its regulatory subunits might serve as indicators for predicting the responsiveness to immunotherapy and outcome of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, providing a new perspective or strategy for immunotherapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Introduction: In the current study, the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) treatments were examined based on biomechanical and histological criteria and mRNA levels of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and NADPH oxidase (NOX) 1 and 4 in a postponed, ischemic, and infected wound repair model (DIIWHM) in rats with type 2 diabetes (DM2) during the inflammation (day 4) and proliferation (day 8) stages. Methods: To study ischemic wound repair in a diabetic rat model (DIIWHM), 24 rats with type-2 diabetes were randomly divided into four groups and infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The control groups consisted of CG4 (control group on day 4) and CG8 (control group on day 8), while the PBM groups comprised PBM4 (PBM treatment group on day 4) and PBM8 (PBM treatment group on day 8). These group assignments allowed for comparisons between the control groups and the PBM-treated groups at their respective time points during the study. Results: On days 4 and 8 of wound restoration, the PBM4 and PBM8 groups showed substantially modulated inflammatory responses and improved formation of fibroblast tissue compared with the CG groups (P<0.05). Concurrently, the effects of PBM8 were significantly superior to those of PBM4 (P<0.05). The antioxidant results on days 4 and 8 revealed substantial increases in CAT and SOD in the PBM groups compared with the CGs (P<0.05). Substantial decreases were observed in the antioxidant agents NOX1 and NOX4 of the PBM4 and PBM8 groups compared with both CGgroups (P<0.05). Conclusion: PBM treatments significantly sped up the inflammatory and proliferating processes in a DHIIWM in DM2 animals by modifying the inflammatory reaction and boosting fibroblast proliferation. Overall, the current findings indicated substantially better results in the PBM groups than in the CG groups.

Abstract
Cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are often unsatisfactory due to several limitations, including drug resistance, inability to cross biological barriers, and toxic side effects on the body. These drawbacks underscore the need for alternative treatments that can overcome these challenges and provide more effective and safer options for cancer patients. In recent years, the use of live bacteria, engineered bacteria, or bacterial derivatives to deliver antitumor drugs to specific tumor sites for controlled release has emerged as a promising therapeutic tool. This approach offers several advantages over traditional cancer therapies, including targeted drug delivery and reduced toxicity to healthy tissues. Ongoing research in this field holds great potential for further developing more efficient and personalized cancer therapies, such as E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and bacterial derivatives like outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), which can serve as vehicles for drugs, therapeutic proteins, or antigens. In this review, we describe the advances, challenges, and future directions of research on using live bacteria or OMVs as carriers or components derived from bacteria of delivery systems for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Plasma medicine, or the biomedical application of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), is an expanding field within plasma research. CAP has demonstrated remarkable versatility in diverse biological applications, including cancer treatment, wound healing, microorganism inactivation, and skin disease therapy. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the effects of CAP remain incompletely understood. The therapeutic effects of CAP are largely attributed to the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which play a crucial role in the biological responses induced by CAP. Specifically, RONS produced during CAP treatment have the ability to chemically modify cell membranes and membrane proteins, causing nitro-oxidative stress, thereby leading to changes in membrane permeability and disruption of cellular processes. To gain atomic-level insights into these interactions, non-reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have emerged as a valuable tool. These simulations facilitate the examination of larger-scale system dynamics, including protein-protein and protein-membrane interactions. In this comprehensive review, we focus on the applications of non-reactive MD simulations in studying the effects of CAP on cellular components and interactions at the atomic level, providing a detailed overview of the potential of CAP in medicine. We also review the results of other MD studies that are not related to plasma medicine but explore the effects of nitro-oxidative stress on cellular components and are therefore important for a broader understanding of the underlying processes.

Abstract
Cigarette smoke (CS) poses a significant risk factor for respiratory, vascular, and organ diseases owing to its high content of harmful chemicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). These substances are known to induce oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and senescence due to their exposure to environmental pollutants and the presence of oxidative enzymes. The lung is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress. Persistent oxidative stress caused by chronic exposure to CS can lead to respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and lung cancer. Avoiding exposure to environmental pollutants, like cigarette smoke and air pollution, can help mitigate oxidative stress. A comprehensive understanding of oxidative stress and its impact on the lungs requires future research. This includes identifying strategies for preventing and treating lung diseases as well as investigating the underlying mechanisms behind oxidative stress. Thus, this review aims to investigate the cellular processes induced by CS, specifically inflammation, apoptosis, senescence, and their associated biomarkers. Furthermore, this review will delve into the alveolar response provoked by CS, emphasizing the roles of potential therapeutic target markers and strategies in inflammation and oxidative stress.

Akhtar MJ, Ahamed M, Alhadlaq H. Bismuth Oxide (Bi 2O 3) Nanoparticles Cause Selective Toxicity in a Human Endothelial (HUVE) Cell Line Compared to Epithelial Cells. TOXICS 2023; 11:343. [PMID: 37112570 PMCID: PMC10146610 DOI: 10.3390/toxics11040343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
A review of recent literature suggests that bismuth oxide (Bi2O3, referred to as B in this article) nanoparticles (NPs) elicit an appreciable response only after a concentration above 40-50 µg/mL in different cells all having an epithelial origin, to the best of our knowledge. Here, we report the toxicological profile of Bi2O3 NPs (or BNPs) (71 ± 20 nm) in a human endothelial cell (HUVE cell line) in which BNPs exerted much steeper cytotoxicity. In contrast to a high concentration of BNPs (40-50 µg/mL) required to stimulate an appreciable toxicity in epithelial cells, BNPs induced 50% cytotoxicity in HUVE cells at a very low concentration (6.7 µg/mL) when treated for 24 h. BNPs induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation (LPO), and depletion of the intracellular antioxidant glutathione (GSH). BNPs also induced nitric oxide (NO,) which can result in the formation of more harmful species in a fast reaction that occurs with superoxide (O2•-). Exogenously applied antioxidants revealed that NAC (intracellular GSH precursor) was more effective than Tiron (a preferential scavenger of mitochondrial O2•-) in preventing the toxicity, indicating ROS production is extra-mitochondrial. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) loss mediated by BNPs was significantly less than that of exogenously applied oxidant H2O2, and MMP loss was not as intensely reduced by either of the antioxidants (NAC and Tiron), again suggesting BNP-mediated toxicity in HUVE cells is extra-mitochondrial. When we compared the inhibitory capacities of the two antioxidants on different parameters of this study, ROS, LPO, and GSH were among the strongly inhibited biomarkers, whereas MMP and NO were the least inhibited group. This study warrants further research regarding BNPs, which may have promising potential in cancer therapy, especially via angiogenesis modulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to ionizing is known to cause persistent cellular oxidative stress and NADPH oxidase (Nox) is a major source of cellular oxidant production. Chronic oxidative stress is associated with a myriad of human diseases including gastrointestinal cancer. However, the roles of NADPH oxidase in relation of long-term oxidative stress in colonic epithelial cells after radiation exposure are yet to be clearly established. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice were exposed either to sham or to 0.5 Gy γ radiation, and NADPH oxidase, oxidative stress, and related signaling pathways were assessed in colon samples 60 days after exposure. Radiation exposure led to increased expression of colon-specific NADPH oxidase isoform, Nox1, as well as upregulation of its modifiers such as Noxa1 and Noxo1 at the mRNA and protein level. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed enhanced binding of Rac1, an activator of NADPH oxidase, to Nox1. Increased 4-hydroxynonenal, 8-oxo-dG, and γH2AX along with higher protein carbonylation levels suggest increased oxidative stress after radiation exposure. Immunoblot analysis demonstrates upregulation of Ras/p38 pathway, and Gata6 and Hif1α after irradiation. Increased staining of β-catenin, cyclinD1, and Ki67 after radiation was also observed. CONCLUSIONS In summary, data show that exposure to a low dose of radiation was associated with upregulation of NADPH oxidase and its modifiers along with increased Ras/p38/Gata6 signaling in colon. When considered along with oxidative damage and proliferative markers, our observations suggest that the NADPH oxidase pathway could be playing a critical role in propagating long-term oxidative stress after radiation with implications for colon carcinogenesis.

Abstract
NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5) is a transmembrane oxidative signaling enzyme which produces superoxide in response to intracellular calcium flux. Increasing evidence indicates that NOX5 is involved in a variety of physiological processes as well as human disease, however, details of NOX5 signaling pathways and targets of NOX5 mediated oxidative modifications remain poorly resolved. Actin dynamics have previously been shown to be modulated by oxidative modification, however, a direct connection to NOX5 expression and activity has not been fully explored. Here we show that NOX5 and actin interact in the cell, and each modulate the activity of the other. Using actin effector molecules jasplakinolide, cytochalasin D and latrunculin A, we show that changes in actin dynamics affect NOX5 superoxide production. In tandem, NOX5 oxidatively modifies actin, and shifts the ratio of filamentous to monomeric actin. Finally, we show that knockdown of NOX5 in the pancreatic cancer cell line PSN-1 impairs cell migration. Together our findings indicate an important link between actin dynamics and oxidative signaling through NOX5.

Abstract
Phytochemicals from plant foods are considered essential to human health. Known for their role in the adaptation of plants to their environment, these compounds can induce adaptive responses in cells, many of which are directed at maintaining the redox tone. Indicaxanthin is a long-known betalain pigment found in the genus Opuntia of cactus pear and highly concentrated in the edible fruits of O. ficus indica, L. whose bioactivity has been overlooked until recently. This review summarizes studies conducted so far in vitro and in vivo, most of which have been performed in our laboratory. The chemical and physicochemical characteristics of Indicaxanthin are reflected in the molecule's reducing properties and antioxidant effects and help explain its ability to interact with membranes, modulate redox-regulated cellular pathways, and possibly bind to protein molecules. Measurement of bioavailability in volunteers has been key to exploring its bioactivity; amounts consistent with dietary intake, or plasma concentration after dietary consumption of cactus pear fruit, have been used in experimental setups mimicking physiological or pathophysiological conditions, in cells and in animals, finally suggesting pharmacological potential and relevance of Indicaxanthin as a nutraceutical. In reporting experimental results, this review also aimed to raise questions and seek insights for further basic research and health promotion applications.

Abstract
Oxidation-reduction reactions played a significant role in the chemical evolution of life forms on oxygenated earth. Cellular respiration is dependent on such redox reactions, and any imbalance leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in both chronic and acute illnesses. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), by 2040, the global burden of new cancer cases is expected to be around 27.5 million, with 16.3 million cancer deaths due to an increase in risk factors such as unhealthy lifestyle, environmental factors, aberrant gene mutations, and resistance to therapies. ROS play an important role in cellular signalling, but they can cause severe damage to tissues when present at higher levels. Elevated and chronic levels of ROS are pertinent in carcinogenesis, while several therapeutic strategies rely on altering cellular ROS to eliminate tumour cells as they are more susceptible to ROS-induced damage than normal cells. Given this selective targeting potential, therapies that can effectively modulate ROS levels have been the focus of intense research in recent years. The current review describes biologically relevant ROS, its origins in solid and haematological cancers, and the current status of evolving antioxidant and pro-oxidant therapies in cancers.

Abstract
The combination of various therapeutic modalities has received considerable attention for improving antitumor performance. Herein, an innovative nanohybrid, namely CaO2@FePt-DOX@PDA@CM (CFDPM), was developed for synergistic chemotherapy/chemodynamic therapy/Ca2+ overloading-mediated amplification of tumor oxidative stress and photothermal enhanced cancer therapy. Camouflage of the 4T1 cell membrane enabled CFDPM to escape the immune surveillance and accumulate in the tumor tissue. Ca2+, released from CaO2, could lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and facilitate the production of reactive oxygen species to amplify intracellular oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the increase of H2O2 concentration could enhance the efficiency of the chemodynamic therapy (CDT). Moreover, the hypoxic condition could be alleviated remarkably, which is attributed to the sufficient O2 supply by CaO2, resulting in the suppression of drug resistance and promotion of the chemotherapeutic effect. The nanohybrids involving Ca2+ overloading/CDT/chemotherapy could synergistically amplify the tumor oxidative stresses and remarkably aggravate the death of cancer cells. Significantly, the excellent photothermal conversion performance of CFDPM could further promote the tumoricidal effect. The in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that CFDPM could effectively advance the therapeutic efficiency via the cooperation of various therapeutic modalities to optimize their individual virtue, which would open a valuable avenue for effective cancer treatment.

Downregulation of krüppel-like factor 6 expression modulates extravillous trophoblast cell behavior by increasing reactive oxygen species. Placenta 2022; 127:62-72.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Placental extravillous trophoblasts play a crucial role in the establishment of a healthy pregnancy. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to their differentiation and function as mediators in signaling processes or might cause oxidative stress resulting in trophoblast dysfunction. The krüppel-like transcription factor 6 (KLF6) regulates many genes involved in essential cell processes where ROS are also involved. However, whether KLF6 regulates ROS levels has not been previously investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS KLF6 was silenced by siRNAs in HTR8-SV/neo cells, an extravillous trophoblast model. Total and mitochondrial ROS levels, as well as mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of genes and proteins of interest were analyzed by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell response to oxidative stress, proliferation, viability, morphology, and migration were evaluated. RESULTS KLF6 downregulation led to an increase in ROS and NOX4 mRNA levels, accompanied by reduced cell proliferation and increased p21 protein expression. Catalase activity, 2-Cys peroxiredoxin protein levels, Nrf2 cytoplasmic localization and hemoxygenase 1 expression, as well as mitochondrial membrane potential and cell apoptosis were not altered suggesting that ROS increase is not associated with cellular damage. Instead, KLF6 silencing induced cytoskeleton modifications and increased cell migration in a ROS-dependent manner. DISCUSSION Present data reveal a novel role of KLF6 on ROS balance and signaling demonstrating that KLF6 downregulation induces an increase in ROS levels that contribute to extravillous trophoblast cell migration.

Abstract
Organ development, homeostasis, and repair often rely on bidirectional, self-organized cell-niche interactions, through which cells select cell fate, such as stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. The niche contains multiplexed chemical and mechanical factors. How cells interpret niche structural information such as the 3D topology of organs and integrate with multiplexed mechano-chemical signals is an open and active research field. Among all the niche factors, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have recently gained growing interest. Once considered harmful, ROS are now recognized as an important niche factor in the regulation of tissue mechanics and topology through, for example, the HIF-YAP-Notch signaling pathways. These pathways are not only involved in the regulation of stem cell physiology but also associated with inflammation, neurological disorder, aging, tumorigenesis, and the regulation of the immune checkpoint molecule PD-L1. Positive feedback circuits have been identified in the interplay of ROS and HIF-YAP-Notch signaling, leading to the possibility that under aberrant conditions, self-organized, ROS-dependent physiological regulations can be switched to self-perpetuating dysregulation, making ROS a double-edged sword at the interface of stem cell physiology and tumorigenesis. In this review, we discuss the recent findings on how ROS and tissue mechanics affect YAP-HIF-Notch-PD-L1 signaling, hoping that the knowledge can be used to design strategies for stem cell-based and ROS-targeting therapy and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Several derivatives derived from the oxime structure have been reported as potential anticancer agents in various cancers. Here, we first tested a novel oxime-containing derivative of 2-((2,4,5-trifluorobenzyl)oxy)benzaldehyde oxime (TFOBO) to evaluate its anticancer effect in myeloid leukemic cells. Compared to (2-((2,4,5-trifluorobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)methanol (TFOPM), the oxime derivative TFOBO suppresses leukemic cell growth by significantly increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and cell death. Leukemic cells treated with TFOBO displayed apoptotic cell death, as indicated by nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation, and annexin V staining. TFOBO increases Bax/Bcl2 levels, caspase9, and caspase3/7 activity and decreases mitochondrial membrane potential. ROS production was reduced by N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a ROS scavenger, diphenyleneiodonium chloride, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor, after exogenous TFOBO treatment. ROS inhibitors protect leukemic cells from TFOBO-induced cell death. Thus, our study findings suggest that TFOBO promotes apoptosis by modulating ROS and regulating NADPH oxidase activity. Collectively, the oxime-containing derivative TFOBO is a novel therapeutic drug for myeloid leukemia.

Abstract
Background For patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, a ventilator is essential to supply oxygen to tissues, but it may also cause lung damage. In this study, we investigated the role of NOX4 using NOX4 knockout (KO) mice and NOX4 inhibitors in a ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) model. Methods Wild-type (WT) male C57BL/6J mice and NOX4 knockout (KO) male mice were divided into five groups: (1) control group; (2) high tidal ventilation (HTV) group: WT mice + HTV ± DMSO; (3) NOX4 KO group; (4) NOX4 KO with HTV group; (5) NOX4 inhibitor group: WT mice + HTV + NOX4 inhibitor. In the VILI model, the supine position was maintained at 24 mL/kg volume, 0 cm H2O PEEP, 100/min respiratory rate, and 0.21 inspired oxygen fraction. In the NOX4 inhibitor group, 50 μL anti-GKT 137831 inhibitor was injected intraperitoneally, 2 h after ventilator use. After 5 h of HTV, mice in the ventilator group were euthanized, and their lung tissues were obtained for further analysis. In addition, the relationship between EphA2 (which is related to lung injury) and NOX4 was investigated using EphA2 KO mice, and NOX4 and EphA2 levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of 38 patients with pneumonia were examined. Results Cell counts from BALFs were significantly lower in the NOX4 KO with HTV group (p < 0.01) and EphA2 KO with HTV group (p < 0.001) compared to that in the HTV group. In the NOX4 inhibitor group, cell counts and protein concentrations from BALF were significantly lower than those in the HTV group (both, p < 0.001). In the NOX4 KO group and the NOX4 inhibitor group, EphA2 levels were significantly lower than those in the HTV group (p < 0.001). In patients with respiratory disease, NOX4 and EphA2 levels were significantly higher in patients with pneumonia and patients who received ventilator treatment in the intensive care unit. Conclusion In the VILI model with high tidal volume, NOX4 KO, EphA2 KO or monoclonal antibodies attenuated the VILI.

Abstract
Swiprosin-1 or EFHD2, is a Ca2+ binding actin protein and its expression has been shown to be distinct in various cell types. The expression of swiprosin-1 is upregulated during the activation of immune cells, epithelial and endothelial cells. The expression of swiprosin-1 is regulated by diverse signaling pathways that are contingent upon the specific type of cells. The aim of this review is to summarize and provide an overview of the role of swiprosin-1 in pathophysiological conditions of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetic nephropathy, neuropsychiatric diseases, and in the process of inflammation, immune response, and inflammatory diseases. Novel approaches for the targeting of swiprosin-1 as a biomarker in the early detection and prevention of various development of chronic diseases are also explored.

Abstract
Cancer cells can survive and maintain their high proliferation rate in spite of their hypoxic environment by deploying a variety of adaptative mechanisms, one of them being the reorientation of cellular metabolism. A key aspect of this metabolic rewiring is the promotion of the synthesis of antioxidant molecules in order to counter-balance the hypoxia-related elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and thus combat the onset of cellular oxidative stress. However, opposite to their negative role in the inception of oxidative stress, ROS are also key modulatory components of physiological cellular metabolism. One of the major physiological cellular ROS sources is the NADPH oxidase enzymes (NOX-es). Indeed, NOX-es produce ROS in a tightly regulated manner and control a variety of cellular processes. By contrast, pathologically elevated and unbridled NOX-derived ROS production is linked to diverse cancerogenic processes. In this respect, NOX4, one of the members of the NOX family enzymes, is of particular interest. In fact, NOX4 is closely linked to hypoxia-related signaling and is a regulator of diverse metabolic processes. Furthermore, NOX4 expression and function are altered in a variety of malignancies. The aim of this review is to provide a synopsis of our current knowledge concerning NOX4-related processes in the oncogenic metabolic adaptation of cancer cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to research the effectiveness of molecular genetic tests based on the determination of the rs4673 CYBA polymorphism (c.242C>T) and the level of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) in the blood plasma of patients with breast cancer (BC) for predicting and diagnosing anthracycline-mediated cardiotoxicity (AMC). The genotyping of rs4673 CYBA (c.242C>T) and the study of the PON1 level in the blood plasma of 280 patients of the Caucasian type with a histologically verified diagnosis of breast cancer, who received complex treatment on the basis of the National Medical Research Center of Oncology, were carried out. Based on the results of observation for at least 8 months, two groups were identified: group 1 (257 people) without diagnosed cardiovascular changes; group 2 (23 people) - patients with subacute and early chronic AMC. It was found that carriers of the rs4673 polymorphism increase the likelihood of developing AMC by 6.8 times (p = 0.001). In the blood plasma of both groups of patients, an increase in the level of PON1 was described after the fourth course compared to the initial level (group 1 - p = 0.036, group 2 - p = 0.048). The level of the studied enzyme was higher in the blood plasma of patients with diagnosed AMC compared with patients without cardiovascular complications (before chemotherapy - p = 0.001, after the fourth course - p = 0.023). The test based on the measurement of the concentration of PON1 in the blood plasma of patients after the fourth course of chemotherapy was distinguished by high quality metrics: sensitivity - 100%, specificity - 70.8%, area under the ROC-curve (AUC) - 0.825 with a threshold level of PON1 equal to 2, 9 ng/μL. The presence of the T/T genotype caused a high level of PON1 in the blood plasma after the fourth course of chemotherapy (p = 0.012). The results of our work are of undoubted practical importance, since they allow us to obtain data on the prognosis and diagnosis of a patient in a short time, which can later be verified using clinical and instrumental methods.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase (Nox) family of enzymes is solely dedicated in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS generated by Nox are involved in multiple signaling cascades and a myriad of pathophysiological conditions including cancer. As such, ROS seem to have both detrimental and beneficial roles in a number of cellular functions, including cell signaling, growth, apoptosis and proliferation. Regulatory mechanisms are required to control the activity of Nox enzymes in order to maintain ROS balance within the cell. Here, we performed genome-wide screening for deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) regulating Nox organizer 1 (NoxO1) protein expression using a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DUB-knockout library. We identified cylindromatosis (CYLD) as a binding partner regulating NoxO1 protein expression. We demonstrated that the overexpression of CYLD promotes ubiquitination of NoxO1 protein and reduces the NoxO1 protein half-life. The destabilization of NoxO1 protein by CYLD suppressed excessive ROS generation. Additionally, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of CYLD in PC-3 cells promoted cell proliferation, migration, colony formation and invasion in vitro. In xenografted mice, injection of CYLD-depleted cells consistently led to tumor development with increased weight and volume. Taken together, these results indicate that CYLD acts as a destabilizer of NoxO1 protein and could be a potential tumor suppressor target for cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Pesticides are important chemicals or biological agents that deter or kill pests. The use of pesticides has continued to increase as it is still considered the most effective method to reduce pests and increase crop growth. However, pesticides have other consequences, including potential toxicity to humans and wildlife. Pesticides have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and birth defects. Labels on pesticides also suggest limiting exposure to these hazardous chemicals. Based on experimental evidence, various types of pesticides all seem to have a common effect, the induction of oxidative stress in different cell types and animal models. Pesticide-induced oxidative stress is caused by both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), which are associated with several diseases including cancer, inflammation, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. ROS and RNS can activate at least five independent signaling pathways including mitochondrial-induced apoptosis. Limited in vitro studies also suggest that exogenous antioxidants can reduce or prevent the deleterious effects of pesticides.

Abstract
We studied the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) which were extracted from streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. Adipose tissue was extracted from the hypodermis of diabetic rats, and diabetic ADSCs were extracted, characterized, and cultured. There were two in vitro groups: control-diabetic ADSCs, and PBMT-diabeticADSCs. We used 630 nm and 810 nm laser at 1.2 J/cm2 with 3 applications 48 h apart. We measured cell viability, apoptosis, population doubling time (PDT), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) by flow cytometry. Gene expression of antioxidants, including cytosolic copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1), catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and oxidative stress biomarkers (NADPH oxidase 1 and 4) by quantitative real time (qRT) - PCR. In this study, data were analyzed using t-test. Viability of PBMT-diabetic- ADSC group was higher than control- diabetic-ADSC (p = 0.000). PDT and apoptosis of PBMT- diabetic-ADSC group were lower than control-diabetic -ADSC (p = 0.001, p = 0.02). SOD1 expression and TAC of PBMT- diabetic-ADSC group were higher than control -diabetic -ADSC (p = 0.018, p = 0.005). CAT of PBMT -diabetic-ADSC group was higher than control-diabetic -ADSC. ROS, NOX1, and NOX4 of PBMT- diabetic -ADSC group were lower than control-diabetic-ADSC (p = 0.002, p = 0.021, p = 0.017). PBMT may improve diabetic- ADSC function in vitro by increasing levels of cell viability, and gene expression of antioxidant agents (SOD1, CAT, and TAC), and significantly decreasing of levels of PDT, apoptosis, ROS, and gene expression of oxidative stress biomarkers (NOX1 and NOX4).

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles as second messengers in a wide array of cellular processes including differentiation of stem cells. We identified Nox4 as the major ROS-generating enzyme whose expression is induced during differentiation of embryoid body (EB) into cells of all three germ layers. The role of Nox4 was examined using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from Nox4 knockout (Nox4−/−) mouse. Differentiation markers showed significantly reduced expression levels consistent with the importance of Nox4-generated ROS during this process. From transcriptomic analyses, we found insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), a member of a gene family extensively involved in embryonic development, as one of the most down-regulated genes in Nox4−/− cells. Indeed, addition of IGF2 to culture partly restored the differentiation competence of Nox4−/− iPSCs. Our results reveal an important signaling axis mediated by ROS in control of crucial events during differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major causes of death in the world and its global burden is expected to continue increasing. In several types of cancers, reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been extensively linked to carcinogenesis and cancer progression. However, studies have reported conflicting evidence regarding the role of ROS in cancer, mostly dependent on the cancer type or the step of the tumorigenic process. We review recent studies describing diverse aspects of the interplay of ROS with cancer in the different stages of cancer progression, with a special focus on their role in carcinogenesis, their importance for cancer cell signaling and their relationship to the most prevalent cancer risk factors.

Abstract
Bacterial therapy, which targets the tumor site and aims at exerting an antitumor immune response, has displayed a great potential against malignant tumors. However, failure of the phase I clinical trial of Salmonella strain VNP20009 alone demonstrates that bacterial treatment alone can unsatisfy the requirements of high efficiency and biosafety. Herein, a strategy of both-in-one hybrid bacteria is proposed, wherein the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) is integrated onto the surface of glucose dehydrogenase (GDH)-overexpressed non-pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain, to potentiate the antitumor efficacy. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), which is produced by GDH from E. coli, promotes the generation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the tumor, and ROS is then catalyzed by the DOX-activated NADPH oxidases. Importantly, the hybrid bacteria enhance stimulated systemic antitumor immune responses, thereby leading to effective tumor eradication. When this strategy is applied in four different tumor models, the hybrid bacteria significantly inhibited tumor metastasis, postsurgical regrowth, and primary/distal tumor relapse. The both-in-one ROS-immunity-boosted hybrid bacteria strategy provides knowledge for the rational design of bacteria-based synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Astaxanthin (ASX), a red-colored xanthophyll carotenoid, functions as an antioxidant or pro-oxidant. ASX displays anticancer effects by reducing or increasing oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote cancer cell death by necroptosis mediated by receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP1) and RIP3. NADPH oxidase is a major source of ROS that may promote necroptosis in some cancer cells. The present study aimed to investigate whether ASX induces necroptosis by increasing NADPH oxidase activity and ROS levels in gastric cancer AGS cells. AGS cells were treated with ASX with or without ML171 (NADPH oxidase 1 specific inhibitor), N-acetyl cysteine (NAC; antioxidant), z-VAD (pan-caspase inhibitor) or Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1; a specific inhibitor of RIP1). As a result, ASX increased NADPH oxidase activity, ROS levels and cell death, and these effects were suppressed by ML171 and NAC. Furthermore, ASX induced RIP1 and RIP3 activation, ultimately inducing mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) activation, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and cell death. Moreover, the ASX-induced decrease in cell viability was reversed by Nec-1 treatment and RIP1 siRNA transfection, but not by z-VAD. ASX did not increase the ratio of apoptotic Bax/anti-apoptotic Bcl-2, the number of Annexin V-positive cells, or caspase-9 activation, which are apoptosis indices. In conclusion, ASX induced necroptotic cell death by increasing NADPH oxidase activity, ROS levels, LDH release and the number of propidium iodide-positive cells, as well as activating necroptosis-regulating proteins, RIP1/RIP3/MLKL, in gastric cancer AGS cells. The results of this study demonstrated the necroptotic effect of ASX on gastric cancer AGS cells, which required NADPH oxidase activation and RIP1/RIP3/MLKL signaling in vitro.

Akhtar MJ, Ahamed M, Alhadlaq H. Anti-Inflammatory CeO 2 Nanoparticles Prevented Cytotoxicity Due to Exogenous Nitric Oxide Donors via Induction Rather Than Inhibition of Superoxide/Nitric Oxide in HUVE Cells. Molecules 2021; 26:5416. [PMID: 34500851 PMCID: PMC8434366 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26175416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The mechanism behind the cytoprotective potential of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) against cytotoxic nitric oxide (NO) donors and H2O2 is still not clear. Synthesized and characterized CeO2 NPs significantly ameliorated the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α. The main goal of this study was to determine the capacities of NPs regarding signaling effects that could have occurred due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or NO, since NP-induced ROS/NO did not lead to toxicity in HUVE cells. Concentrations that induced 50% cell death (i.e., IC50s) of two NO donors (DETA-NO; 1250 ± 110 µM and sodium nitroprusside (SNP); 950 ± 89 µM) along with the IC50 of H2O2 (120 ± 7 µM) were utilized to evaluate cytoprotective potential and its underlying mechanism. We determined total ROS (as a collective marker of hydrogen peroxide, superoxide radical (O2•-), hydroxyl radical, etc.) by DCFH-DA and used a O2•- specific probe DHE to decipher prominent ROS. The findings revealed that signaling effects mediated mainly by O2•- and/or NO are responsible for the amelioration of toxicity by CeO2 NPs at 100 µg/mL. The unaltered effect on mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) due to NP exposure and, again, CeO2 NPs-mediated recovery in the loss of MMP due to exogenous NO donors and H2O2 suggested that NP-mediated O2•- production might be extra-mitochondrial. Data on activated glutathione reductase (GR) and unaffected glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities partially explain the mechanism behind the NP-induced gain in GSH and persistent cytoplasmic ROS. The promoted antioxidant capacity due to non-cytotoxic ROS and/or NO production, rather than inhibition, by CeO2 NP treatment may allow cells to develop the capacity to tolerate exogenously induced toxicity.

Abstract
Nano-drug delivery systems (nano-DDSs) with an existing specific interaction to tumor cells and intelligent stimulus-triggered drug delivery performance in a tumor microenvironment (TME) remain hotspots for effective cancer therapy. Herein, multifunctional pH/H2O2 dual-responsive chiral mesoporous silica nanorods (HA-CD/DOX-PCMSRs) were creatively constructed by first grafting phenylboronic acid pinacol ester (PBAP) onto the amino-functioned nanorods, then incorporating doxorubicin (DOX) into the mesoporous structure, and finally coating with the cyclodextrin-modified hyaluronic acid conjugate (HA-CD) through a weak host-guest interaction. Under a physiological environment, the gatekeeper CD could avoid the premature leakage of DOX and minimize the side effects to normal cells. After the uptake by the tumor cells, the H2O2-sensitive moieties of PBAP were exposed and a small amount of DOX was leaked along with the shift of the supramolecular switch HA-CD under the acidic condition. Notably, the self-supplying H2O2 mediated by the released DOX in turn accelerated the PBAP disintegration, further promoted the rapid release of DOX, and increased the DOX accumulation in tumor regions. Innovatively, this nano-DDS could simultaneously achieve the tumor-targeting ability via CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis and pH/H2O2 dual responsiveness activated by the TME and hence exhibited superior antitumor efficacy. Furthermore, HA acting as the hydrophilic shell could improve the biocompatibility of this nano-DDS.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the anti-cancer effects of ginsenoside Rg2 (G-Rg2) and its underlying signaling pathways in breast cancer (BC) cells. G-Rg2 significantly induced cytotoxicity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in MCF-7 cells among various types of BC cells including HCC1428, T47D, and BT-549. G-Rg2 significantly inhibited protein and mRNA expression of cell cycle G1-S phase regulators, including p-Rb, cyclin D1, CDK4, and CDK6, whereas it enhanced the protein and mRNA expression of cell cycle arrest and apoptotic molecules including cleaved PARP, p21, p27, p53 and Bak through ROS production. These effects were abrogated by the antioxidant N-acetyl-I-cysteine, or NADPH oxidase inhibitors, such as diphenyleneiodonium chloride and apocynin. Interestingly, G-Rg2 induced mitochondrial damage by reducing the membrane potential. G-Rg2 further activated the ROS-sensor protein, AMPK and downstream targets of AMPK activation, including PGC-1α, FOXO1, and IDH2, and downregulated mTOR activation and antioxidant response element-driven luciferase activity. Together, our data demonstrate that G-Rg2 mediates anti-cancer effects by activating cell cycle arrest and signaling pathways related to mitochondrial damage-induced ROS production and apoptosis.

Abstract
Significance: Cardiovascular stem cells are important for regeneration and repair of damaged tissue. Recent Advances: Pluripotent stem cells have a unique metabolism, which is adopted for their energetic and biosynthetic demand as rapidly proliferating cells. Stem cell differentiation requires an exceptional metabolic flexibility allowing for metabolic remodeling between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Critical Issues: Respiration is associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the mitochondrial respiratory chain. But also the membrane-bound protein nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NADPH oxidase, NOX) contributes to ROS levels. ROS not only play a significant role in stem cell differentiation and tissue renewal but also cause senescence and contribute to tissue aging. Future Directions: For utilization of stem cells in therapeutic approaches, a deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms how metabolism and the cellular redox state regulate stem cell differentiation is required. Modulating the redox state of stem cells using antioxidative agents may be suitable to enhance activity of endothelial progenitor cells. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 35, 163-181.

Abstract
Chemo/chemodynamic synergistic therapy is a promising strategy to improve the antitumor effect. However, hypoxia and a limited amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) severely restrict the therapeutic efficacy of this combined treatment. Herein, we report biodegradable doxorubicin (Dox)-loaded copper-metformin (Met) nanoscale coordination polymers (Dox@Cu-Met NPs), which exert a chemo/chemodynamic synergistic therapeutic effect by reducing oxygen (O2) consumption to promote H2O2 accumulation in the tumor. Inside tumor cells, Met can inhibit the consumption of O2 to relieve tumor hypoxia by suppressing mitochondrial respiration. The alleviated-tumor hypoxia can not only elevate H2O2 content via the Dox-activated cascade reaction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases (NOXs) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), but also improve the efficacy of Dox. More importantly, the depletion of glutathione (GSH) accompanies the whole treatment process, which can realize the conversion of Cu2+ to Cu+ and boost reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation to improve chemodynamic therapy (CDT) efficacy. Meanwhile, Met is expected to cut off the energy supply by inhibiting respiration, leading to starvation therapy. In vivo investigations demonstrate that tumor growth is significantly inhibited through the enhanced chemo/chemodynamic synergistic treatment. This work provides a new paradigm for cancer therapy using an economical and straightforward method to construct a synergistic nanomedicine platform.

Abstract
One of the major sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated within stem cells is the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase family of enzymes (NOXs), which are critical determinants of the redox state beside antioxidant defense mechanisms. This balance is involved in another one that regulates stem cell fate: indeed, self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation are decisive steps for stem cells during embryo development, adult tissue renovation, and cell therapy application. Ex vivo culture-expanded stem cells are being investigated for tissue repair and immune modulation, but events such as aging, senescence, and oxidative stress reduce their ex vivo proliferation, which is crucial for their clinical applications. Here, we review the role of NOX-derived ROS in stem cell biology and functions, focusing on positive and negative effects triggered by the activity of different NOX isoforms. We report recent findings on downstream molecular targets of NOX-ROS signaling that can modulate stem cell homeostasis and lineage commitment and discuss the implications in ex vivo expansion and in vivo engraftment, function, and longevity. This review highlights the role of NOX as a pivotal regulator of several stem cell populations, and we conclude that these aspects have important implications in the clinical utility of stem cells, but further studies on the effects of pharmacological modulation of NOX in human stem cells are imperative.

Abstract
In living cells Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) participate in intra- and inter-cellular signaling and all cells contain specific systems that guard redox homeostasis. These systems contain both enzymes which may produce ROS such as NADPH-dependent and other oxidases or nitric oxide synthases, and ROS-neutralizing enzymes such as catalase, peroxiredoxins, thioredoxins, thioredoxin reductases, glutathione reductases, and many others. Most of the genes coding for these enzymes contain sequences targeted by micro RNAs (miRNAs), which are components of RNA-induced silencing complexes and play important roles in inhibiting translation of their targeted messenger RNAs (mRNAs). In this review we describe miRNAs that directly target and can influence enzymes responsible for scavenging of ROS and their possible role in cellular redox homeostasis. Regulation of antioxidant enzymes aims to adjust cells to survive in unstable oxidative environments; however, sometimes seemingly paradoxical phenomena appear where oxidative stress induces an increase in the levels of miRNAs which target genes which are supposed to neutralize ROS and therefore would be expected to decrease antioxidant levels. Here we show examples of such cellular behaviors and discuss the possible roles of miRNAs in redox regulatory circuits and further cell responses to stress.

Abstract
The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing enzyme NADPH oxidase (NOX) was first identified in the membrane of phagocytic cells. For many years, its only known role was in immune defense, where its ROS production leads to the destruction of pathogens by the immune cells. NOX from phagocytes catalyzes, via one-electron trans-membrane transfer to molecular oxygen, the production of the superoxide anion. Over the years, six human homologs of the catalytic subunit of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase were found: NOX1, NOX3, NOX4, NOX5, DUOX1, and DUOX2. Together with the NOX2/gp91phox component present in the phagocyte NADPH oxidase assembly itself, the homologs are now referred to as the NOX family of NADPH oxidases. NOX are complex multidomain proteins with varying requirements for assembly with combinations of other proteins for activity. The recent structural insights acquired on both prokaryotic and eukaryotic NOX open new perspectives for the understanding of the molecular mechanisms inherent to NOX regulation and ROS production (superoxide or hydrogen peroxide). This new structural information will certainly inform new investigations of human disease. As specialized ROS producers, NOX enzymes participate in numerous crucial physiological processes, including host defense, the post-translational processing of proteins, cellular signaling, regulation of gene expression, and cell differentiation. These diversities of physiological context will be discussed in this review. We also discuss NOX misregulation, which can contribute to a wide range of severe pathologies, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, lung fibrosis, cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases, giving this family of membrane proteins a strong therapeutic interest.

Abstract
NADPH oxidase as an important source of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) has gained enormous importance over the years, and the detailed structures of all the isoenzymes of the NADPH oxidase family and their regulation have been well explored. The enzyme has been implicated in a variety of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases. The present brief review examines the body of evidence that links NADPH oxidase with the genesis and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In short, evidence suggests that microglial activation and inflammatory response in the AD brain is associated with increased production of ROS by microglial NADPH oxidase. Along with other inflammatory mediators, ROS take part in neuronal degeneration and enhance the microglial activation process. The review also evaluates the current state of NADPH oxidase inhibitors as potential disease-modifying agents for AD.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is a broad-spectrum antineoplastic drug used in tumor therapy, its clinical application is limited by side effects on normal tissues. In this article, a pH-responsive drug delivery system (NPs(DOX/AFc)) with co-delivers doxorubicin (DOX) and aminoferrocene (AFc) was prepared by a two-step synthesis method including the oxidation of hyaluronic acid and Schiff base reaction. NPs(DOX/AFc) can be used in combination therapy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and chemotherapy (CT), thus the dosage of the chemotherapeutic drug DOX was reduced. The drug release behavior of NPs(DOX/AFc) in vitro showed that acid-responsive drug releases under the endosomal/lysosomal environment were 56.5 % of DOX and 61.8 % of AFc. In vitro toxicity experiments showed that DOX and AFc had synergistic effects (CI = 0.878). The results of intracellular ROS measurement and the mitochondrial membrane potential analysis showed that in tumor cells NPs(DOX4/AFc) induced more production of reactive oxygen species and more loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential. In short, this co-delivery system based on polymer prodrugs provides a new idea for the combined application of CT and CDT.

Abstract
The expression of Merlin tumor suppressor protein encoded by Neurofibromin 2 (NF2) gene is remarkably decreased in metastatic breast cancer tissues. In order to recapitulate clinical evidence, we generated a unique, conditional Nf2‐knockout (Nf2−/−) mouse mammary tumor model. Merlin‐deficient breast tumor cells and Nf2−/− mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) displayed a robustly invasive phenotype. Moreover, Nf2−/− MEFs presented with notable alterations in redox management networks, implicating a role for Merlin in redox homeostasis. This programmatic alteration resonated with pathways that emerged from breast tumor cells engineered for Merlin deficiency. Further investigations revealed that NF2‐silenced cells supported reduced activity of the Nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 antioxidant transcription factor, concomitant with elevated expression of NADPH oxidase enzymes. Importantly, mammary‐specific Nf2−/− in an Mouse mammary tumor virus Neu + murine breast cancer model demonstrated accelerated mammary carcinogenesis in vivo. Tumor‐derived primary organoids and cell lines were characteristically invasive with evidence of a dysregulated cellular redox management system. As such, Merlin deficiency programmatically influences redox imbalance that orchestrates malignant attributes of mammary/breast cancer.

Abstract
Whilst the survival rates of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have increased remarkably over the last decades, the therapy resistance and toxicity are still the major causes of treatment failure. It was shown that overexpression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) promotes proliferation and chemoresistance of cancer cells. In humans, the HO-1 gene (HMOX1) expression is modulated by two polymorphisms in the promoter region: (GT)n-length polymorphism and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) A(−413)T, with short GT repeat sequences and 413-A variants linked to an increased HO-1 inducibility. We found that the short alleles are significantly more frequent in ALL patients in comparison to the control group, and that their presence may be associated with a higher risk of treatment failure, reflecting the role of HO-1 in chemoresistance. We also observed that the presence of short alleles may predispose to develop chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. In case of SNP, the 413-T variant co-segregated with short or long alleles, while 413-A almost selectively co-segregated with long alleles, hence it is not possible to determine if SNPs are actually of phenotypic significance. Our results suggest that HO-1 can be a potential target to overcome the treatment failure in ALL patients.

Abstract
The ferroptosis effect has been illuminated with a clear Fenton reaction mechanism that converts endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into highly oxidative hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in ROS-amplified tumor therapy. This ferroptosis-related oxidation effect was then further enhanced by the enzyme-like roles of cisplatin (CDDP). This CDDP-induced apoptosis was promoted in reverse by ferroptosis via the depletion of glutathione (GSH) and prevention of DNA damage repair. Here, we have developed degradable metallic complexes (PtH@FeP) containing an Fe(III)-polydopamine (FeP) core and HA-cross-linked CDDP (PtH) shell, exaggerating in situ toxic ROS production via the synergistic effect of CDDP and Fe(III). Taken together, the rationally designed PtH@FeP provided a new strategy for self-amplified synergistic chemotherapy/ferroptosis/photothermal therapy (PTT) antitumor effects with a reduced dosage that facilitates clinical safety.

Abstract
The rational integration of chemotherapy and hydroxyl radical (·OH)-mediated chemodynamic therapy (CDT) holds great potential for cancer treatment. Herein, a smart biocompatible nanocatalyst based on porous core-shell cuprous oxide nanocrystals (Cu2 O-PEG (polyethylene glycol) NCs) is reported for acid-triggered chemo/chemodynamic synergistic therapy. The in situ formed high density of hydrophilic PEG outside greatly improves the stability and compatibility of NCs. The porosity of Cu2 O-PEG NCs shows the admirable capacity of doxorubicin (DOX) loading (DOX@Cu2 O-PEG NCs) and delivery. Excitingly, Cu (Cu+/2+ ) and DOX can be controllably released from DOX@Cu2 O-PEG NCs in a pH-responsive approach. The released Cu+ exerts Fenton-like catalytic activity to generate toxic ·OH from intracellular overexpressed hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) for CDT via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-involved oxidative damage. Exactly, DOX can not only induce cell death for chemotherapy but also enhance CDT by self-supplying endogenous H2 O2 . After the intravenous injection, Cu2 O-PEG NCs can effectively accumulate in tumor region via passive targeting improved by external high-density PEG shell. Additionally, the effect of boosted CDT combined with chemotherapy presents excellent in vivo antitumor ability without causing distinct systemic toxicity. It is believed that this smart nanocatalyst responding to the acidity provides a novel paradigm for site-specific cancer synergetic therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), formed by the partial reduction of oxygen, were for a long time considered to be a byproduct of cellular metabolism. Since, increase in cellular levels of ROS results in oxidative stress leading to damage of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids resulting in numerous pathological conditions; ROS was considered a bane for aerobic species. Hence, the discovery of NADPH oxidases (NOX), an enzyme family that specifically generates ROS as its prime product came as a surprise to redox biologists. NOX family proteins participate in various cellular functions including cell proliferation and differentiation, regulation of genes and protein expression, apoptosis, and host defence immunological response. Balanced expression and activation of NOX with subsequent production of ROS are critically important to regulate various genes and proteins to maintain homeostasis of the cell. However, dysregulation of NOX activation leading to enhanced ROS levels is associated with various pathophysiologies including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, ageing, atherosclerosis, and cancer. Although our current knowledge on NOX signifies its importance in the normal functioning of various cellular pathways; yet the choice of ROS producing enzymes which can tip the scale from homeostasis toward damage, as mediators of biological functions remain an oddity. Though the role of NOX in maintaining normal cellular functions is now deemed essential, yet its dysregulation leading to catastrophic events cannot be denied. Hence, this review focuses on the involvement of NOX enzymes in various pathological conditions imploring them as possible targets for therapies. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: The NOXs are multi-subunit enzymes that generate ROS as a prime product. NOX generated ROS are usually regulated by various molecular factors and play a vital role in different physiological processes. The dysregulation of NOX activity is associated with pathological consequences. Recently, the dynamic proximity of NOX enzymes with different molecular signatures of pathologies has been studied extensively. It is essential to identify the precise role of NOX machinery in its niche during the progression of pathology. Although inhibition of NOX could be a promising approach for therapeutic interventions, it is critical to expand the current understanding of NOX's dynamicity and shed light on their molecular partners and regulators.

Abstract
NADPH oxidases 1 (NOX1) derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the progression of cancer through signaling pathways. Therefore, in this paper, we demonstrate the effect of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on the structural changes of Noxa1 SH3 protein, one of the regulatory subunits of NOX1. For this purpose, firstly we purified the Noxa1 SH3 protein and analyzed the structure using X-ray crystallography, and subsequently, we treated the protein with two types of CAP reactors such as pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and Soft Jet for different time intervals. The structural deformation of Noxa1 SH3 protein was analyzed by various experimental methods (circular dichroism, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopy) and by MD simulations. Additionally, we demonstrate the effect of CAP (DBD and Soft Jet) on the viability and expression of NOX1 in A375 cancer cells. Our results are useful to understand the structural modification/oxidation occur in protein due to reactive oxygen and nitrogen (RONS) species generated by CAP.
