Xanthine oxidase-derived H2O2 contributes to reperfusion injury of ischemic skeletal muscle

Abstract: We hypothesized that xanthine oxidase (XO)-derived hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contributes to ischemic skeletal muscle injury during reperfusion. We found that after ischemia (3 h) and then reperfusion (4 h) rat gastrocnemius muscles had decreased contractile function following direct stimulation. Three lines of investigation suggested that XO-derived H2O2 contributes to reperfusion injury of ischemic skeletal muscle. First, treatment with dimethylthiurea (DMTU), a highly permeant O2 metabolite scavenger, but not… Show more

“…The role of xanthine oxidase in I/R injury has been described extensively (3,24,27), and the discovery that the activity of this enzyme is elevated after contractile claudication is in agreement with our previous findings (21). However, the novel finding is that by administering allopurinol to attenuate the increase in xanthine oxidase activity, we were able to show attenuation of lipid peroxidation, muscle damage, and neutrophil infiltration.…”

“…The mitochondrial electron transport system is considered the major intracellular source for the production of ROS (4, 5, 27, 36, 48, 50 -52). There are other potential sources in skeletal muscle, including cytosolic NAD(P)H oxidase (3,22), infiltrating phagocyte cells (24), and endothelial tissue containing xanthine oxidase (26,28). Nitric oxide (NO), one of the RNS, is also produced in contracting skeletal muscle by NO synthase (23,32).…”

“…Ischemia/reperfusion produces oxidative stress through the irreversible conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase to xanthine oxidase (XO) during ischemia with consequent production of oxygen-free radicals and H 2 O 2 during reperfusion (4,5). Several lines of evidence suggest a role for oxidative stress as contributing to activation of hematopoietic cells.…”
