Deficiency in gp91Phox (NOX2) Protects against Oxidative Stress and Cardiac Dysfunction in Iron Overloaded Mice

Abstract: The role of NADPH oxidase subunit, gp91phox (NOX2) in development of oxidative stress and cardiac dysfunction due to iron (Fe)-overload was assessed. Control (C57BL/6J) and gp91phox knockout (KO) mice were treated for up to 8 weeks with Fe (2.5 mg/g/wk, i.p.) or Na-dextran; echocardiography, plasma 8-isoprostane (lipid peroxidation marker), cardiac Fe accumulation (Perl’s staining), and CD11b+ (WBCs) infiltrates were assessed. Fe caused no adverse effects on cardiac function at 3 weeks. At 6 weeks, significant… Show more

“…MiR-217-5p also suppressed the PM2.5-induced up-regulation of TNF-α and IFN-γ protein expressions. Besides, the massive production of ROS can lead to the peroxidation of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, ultimately resulting in cell injury and even death [ 22 ]. NOX is an important enzyme for the production of ROS, and inhibiting its production can relieve oxidative stress [ 23 ].…”

“…Nox2 has been implicated in microglia-mediated ROS production and ensuing neuronal injury and death in co-culture studies [57]. Studies in Nox2-knockout mice also demonstrate significantly decreased lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in the setting of cellular iron accumulation [58], further implicating elevated Nox2 in iron-mediated ROS effects and ferroptosis.…”
