... by malondialdehyde, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase commercially available kits. The protein expression levels of TRPC1, Nox4, p22phox, p47phox, and p67phox were analyzed by western blotting. Results: Brain tissues from cerebral I/R mice showed decreased TRPC1 expression. Similarly, TRPC1 expression...

... inhibition had no effect on the expression of ALK5 in PC-12 cells. Conclusions: Our studies demonstrated that TGF-β signaling activation is involved in the regulation of NOX2/NOX4 expression and exacerbates cerebral I/R injury. To investigate the role of TGF-β signaling in ROS generation, PC-12 cells...

... of histopathologic changes and enhanced CD31 expression. Nrf2 knockdown repressed non-phagocytic cell oxidase 4 (NOX4), hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression after IIR. Nrf2 upregulation by Sirt1 enhances NOX4, HIF-1α and VEGF expression after IIR in WT mice...

... species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) levels were measured using DCF and JC-1 assay. Cytokine levels were evaluated using ELISA assay. Immunoblot was used to compare the activation level of c-Jun N terminal kinase (JNK), NADPH oxidase (Nox4), and NFκB pathways. Results: Addition of SF...

...) with and without EA co-treatment. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation was measured using a wire myograph. Gene and protein expression of non-phagocytic nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases 4 (NOX4) were detected using RT-PCR and western blotting, respectively. Oxidative stress was determined...

... in the regulation of CPU0213 on apoptosis. It was demonstrated that the production of superoxide (O 2 -. ) was substantially attenuated by CPU0213 treatment in HK-2 cells. We further found that CPU0213 dramatically inhibited expression of Nox4 protein, which gene silencing mimicked the role of CPU0213...

... se contributes to the excess oxidative stress and cellular injury observed in T1D is not known. Methods: HUVEC were treated with ketones in the presence or absence of high glucose for 24 h. NOX4 siRNA was used to specifically knockdown NOX4 expression in HUVEC. Results: Ketones alone...

...) with or without diferent blockers or activators. NOX4, phosphorylated AMPK (p-AMPK), phosphorylated SMAD3 (p-SMAD3), fibronectin (F/N), collagen IV (C-IV) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression was assessed via western blot and immunofluorescence. Lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence...
