Superoxide, peroxynitrite and oxidative/nitrative stress in inflammation

Abstract: A considerable body of evidence suggests that formation of potent reactive oxygen species and resulting oxidative/nitrative stress play a major role in acute and chronic inflammation and pain. Much of the knowledge in this field has been gathered by the use of pharmacological and genetic approaches. In this mini review, we will evaluate recent advances made towards understanding the roles of reactive oxygen species in inflammation, focusing in particular on superoxide and peroxynitrite. Given the limited space… Show more

“…Oxidative stress is no exception (39). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to cause persistent pain (40)(41)(42)(43)(44) C111 C164 C239 C264 C269 C369 C393 C397 C540 C586 C624 C641 C722 C748 C772 C783 are indiscriminative (45), compromising multiple cell types to exacerbate tissue inflammation and nociception.…”

“…Reactive species, such as nitric oxide ( · NO), superoxide (O 2 ·À ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), peroxynitrite (ONOO -), and others have been widely recognized as signaling species that, by affecting redox-based cellular transcriptional activity, control inflammatory and immune responses and enhance secondary oxidative stress (27,47,96,151,188,273,276,298,335,336). Mitochondria, the major producers of reactive species, are consistently found to play a critical role in oxidative stress (55,155,228,312).…”

“…Increased production of NO by iNOS and reactive oxidants derived from nitric oxide has been proposed to mediate tissue injury in several inflammatory and infectious diseases including hepatic diseases [7,18,19]. NO is able to trigger its own biosynthesis through iNOS induction in macrophages but not in hepatocytes, generating a potent amplification mechanism that may constitute the basis for the excessive formation of NO in acute and chronic inflammatory conditions [4,29].…”

“…In biological systems, reaction of NO with superoxide forms peroxynitrite, which is more reactive and damaging than its precursor and has been demonstrated to diffuse freely across phospholipid membrane bilayers and to react with a wide variety of molecular targets, including lipids, DNA and proteins [7]. Peroxynitrite has been implicated in a number of pathological situations, and tyrosine nitration induced by this agent has been reported to increase in various human diseases such as acute and chronic inflammatory processes [8].…”
