ROS and redox signaling in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and cardioprotection
2018, Free Radical Biology and MedicineCitation Excerpt :XDH preferentially use NAD+ as an electron acceptor whereas XO uses oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor, thereby generating ROS. The evidence for a role of XOR in IR injury is provocative [74–76]. NOS catalyzes the formation of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine, using tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) as an essential cofactor.
Reperfusion injury and reactive oxygen species: The evolution of a concept
2015, Redox BiologyCitation Excerpt :Some of the inconsistent findings have been attributed to differences in XOR abundance/activity between animal species. For example, rabbit heart, which is not protected against reperfusion injury by allopurinol treatment, is virtually devoid of XO activity [117], much like the human heart [119]. However, intestine and liver, which exhibit significant and ubiquitous expression of XOR across species (including humans) [120,121], have yielded more consistent findings regarding a role for the enzyme in reperfusion injury [122,123].
The cellular and molecular origin of reactive oxygen species generation during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion
2012, Pharmacology and TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Shortly thereafter, Grum et al. (1986) failed to detect any appreciable xanthine oxidase or dehydrogenase activity in the rabbit heart. Similarly undetectable xanthine oxidase activity was reported in the human heart (Eddy et al., 1987; Podzuweit et al., 1991), and its contribution to post-ischemic O2•– production in the rabbit heart was discounted (Downey et al., 1987). These results contradict allopurinol-mediated free-radical reduction.
Monoamine oxidases (MAO) in the pathogenesis of heart failure and ischemia/reperfusion injury
2011, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Cell ResearchCitation Excerpt :These include Nox, xanthine oxidase (XO) and nitric oxide synthase that, when uncoupled, can become a powerful ROS generator [42,43,68,69]. Concerning XO, it must be said upfront that in some species, including humans, the heart appears not to contain any [70,71]. Therefore, an explanation for the protective effects exerted by the XO inhibitor allopurinol in these species should be sought elsewhere.
