Regulation of Gene Expression by Reactive Oxygen

Abstract: Reactive oxygen intermediates are produced in all aerobic organisms during respiration and exist in the cell in a balance with biochemical antioxidants. Excess reactive oxygen resulting from exposure to environmental oxidants, toxicants, and heavy metals perturbs cellular redox balance and disrupts normal biological functions. The resulting imbalance may be detrimental to the organism and contribute to the pathogenesis of disease and aging. To counteract the oxidant effects and to restore a state of redox bala… Show more

“…The mutant mtDNA leads to mitochondria with impaired respiratory function [2]. In addition, ROS act as intracellular messenger and mediate lymphocyte activation [9] as well as apoptosis [5] by interacting with redox-sensitive transcription factors like NF B.…”

“…By contrast, the redox balance can be shifted (positive) under conditions of oxidative stress over and above that which can be contained by endogenous protective mechanisms. Thiol oxidation ensues and a range of cellular processes are altered that may result in metabolic dysfunction, altered cellular fate, molecular damage and an amplified inflammatory response (for reviews see [37,38]). …”

“…Release of cytochrome c is an indicator of apoptosis; however, its extent depends on radiation exposure [30]. Exposure of cells to low dose radiation alters the intracellular redox balance by inducing oxidative stress and thereby depletion of intracellular antioxidants [14,31]. Therefore, extraneous supplementation of antioxidants serves as a useful buffer to protect cells from radiation (ROS)-induced injury [32].…”

“…However, PEGcatalase, PEG-SOD, and vitamin C were inefficient in inhibiting the radiation-induced increase in CD20 expression. This may be due to their specificity for neutralizing a more limited range of free radicals than what is produced by radiation, which generates superoxide, H 2 O 2 , hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite [15,28,31]. Strikingly, amifostine could completely inhibit the radiation-induced increase in CD20 levels.…”
