Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in regulation of activation-induced T-cell death (AICD) by induction of CD95L expression. However, the molecular source and the signaling steps necessary for ROS production are largely unknown. Here, we show that the proximal T-cell receptor-signaling machinery, including ZAP70 (zeta chain-associated protein kinase 70), LAT (linker of activated T cells), SLP76 (SH2 domain-containing leukocyte protein of 76 kDa), PLCgamma1 (phospholipase Cgamma1), and PKCtheta (protein kinase Ctheta), are crucial for ROS production. PKCtheta is translocated to the mitochondria. By using cells depleted of mitochondrial DNA, we identified the mitochondria as the source of activation-induced ROS. Inhibition of mitochondrial electron transport complex I assembly by small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of the chaperone NDUFAF1 resulted in a block of ROS production. Complex I-derived ROS are converted into a hydrogen peroxide signal by the mitochondrial superoxide dismutase. This signal is essential for CD95L expression, as inhibition of complex I assembly by NDUFAF1-specific siRNA prevents AICD. Similar results were obtained when metformin, an antidiabetic drug and mild complex I inhibitor, was used. Thus, we demonstrate for the first time that PKCtheta-dependent ROS generation by mitochondrial complex I is essential for AICD.

Abstract
Apoptosis-programed cell death-is the most common form of death in the body. Once apoptosis is induced, proper execution of the cell death program requires the coordinated activation and execution of multiple molecular processes. Here, we describe the pathways and the basic components of the death-inducing machinery. Since apoptosis is a key regulator of tissue homeostasis, an imbalance of apoptosis results in severe diseases like cancer, autoimmunity, and AIDS.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle (VSM) derived from pulmonary arteries generally contract to hypoxia, whereas VSM from systemic arteries usually relax, indicating the presence of basic oxygen-sensing mechanisms in VSM that are adapted to the environment from which they are derived. This review considers how fundamental processes associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by oxidase enzymes, the metabolic control of cytosolic NADH, NADPH and glutathione redox systems, and mitochondrial function interact with signaling systems regulating vascular force in a manner that is potentially adapted to be involved in Po2 sensing. Evidence for opposing hypotheses of hypoxia, either decreasing or increasing mitochondrial ROS, is considered together with the Po2 dependence of ROS production by Nox oxidases as sensors potentially contributing to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Processes through which ROS and NAD(P)H redox changes potentially control interactive signaling systems, including soluble guanylate cyclase, potassium channels, and intracellular calcium are discussed together with the data supporting their regulation by redox in responses to hypoxia. Evidence for hypothesized potential differences between systemic and pulmonary arteries originating from properties of mitochondrial ROS generation and the redox sensitivity of potassium channels is compared with a new hypothesis in which differences in the control of cytosolic NADPH redox by the pentose phosphate pathway results in increased NADPH and Nox oxidase-derived ROS in pulmonary arteries, whereas lower levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in coronary arteries may permit hypoxia to activate a vasodilator mechanism controlled by oxidation of cytosolic NADPH.

Abstract
To ensure that a constant number of T cells are preserved in the peripheral lymphoid organs, the production and proliferation of T cells must be balanced out by their death. Newly generated T cells exit the thymus and are maintained as resting T cells. Transient disruption of homeostasis occurs when naïve T cells undergo antigen-induced expansion, a process involving intracellular signaling events that lead to T cell proliferation, acquisition of effector functions, and, ultimately, either apoptosis or differentiation into long-lived memory cells. The last decision point (death vs. differentiation) is a crucial one: it resets lymphoid homeostasis, promotes protective immunity, and limits autoimmunity. Despite its importance, relatively little is known about the molecular mechanisms involved in this cell fate decision. Although multiple mechanisms are likely involved, recent data suggest an underlying regulatory role for reactive oxygen species in controlling the susceptibility of T cells to apoptosis. This review focuses on recent advances in our understanding of how reactive oxygen species modulate T-cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Metalloporphyrins have emerged as a novel class of catalytic antioxidants that scavenge a wide range of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide, peroxide, peroxynitrite and lipid peroxyl radicals. Factors such as the type of metal centre, redox potential and electrostatic charge of the compounds are recognized as important determinants of their antioxidant activity and potency. These concepts have guided the development of metalloporphyrins with specific activities greater than those of the native superoxide dismutases. Several compounds in this class have been shown to be efficacious in a variety of in vitro and in vivo oxidative stress models of human diseases.

Abstract
Observations that physiological levels of O2 control the rates of production of reactive O2 species by systems including NAD(P)H oxidases and that certain of these species have signalling mechanisms that regulate vascular tone has resulted in consideration of these systems in processes that mediate the sensing of changes in P(O2). Evidence exists for the participation of hydrogen peroxide-dependent regulation of prostaglandin production and soluble guanylate cyclase activity, resulting from the metabolism of peroxide by cyclooxygenase and catalase, respectively, in P(O2)-elicited signalling mechanisms that regulate vascular force generation. A microsomal NADH oxidase whose activity is controlled by the redox status of cytosolic NAD(H) appears to function as a P(O2) sensor in bovine pulmonary and coronary arteries where changes in O2 levels control the production of superoxide anion-derived hydrogen peroxide and a cGMP-mediated relaxation response. Interactions with nitric oxide and superoxide anion, and the activity of glutathione peroxidase appear to influence the function of these O2 sensing systems, and some of these interactions, along with the activation of other oxidases, may contribute to alterations in P(O2) sensing mechanisms under pathophysiological conditions that affect vascular function.

Abstract
A potential candidate for an oxygen-sensing protein in chemoreceptor cells is a heme-linked multicomponent NADPH oxidase, originally described in neutrophils. The postulated function for the oxidase in chemoreceptor cells is to signal changes in oxygen levels (either in the blood or in the airway lumen) via changes in oxygen metabolite production. An alteration in either superoxide (or dismuted hydrogen peroxide) production may affect the gating properties of the O2-sensitive K+ channels. We have previously reported immunohistochemical localization of gp91 glycoprotein component of the oxidase to the plasma membrane of pulmonary neuroepithelial body (NEB) cells. In this study we have investigated the immunocytochemical localization of the other polypeptide components of the oxidase in NEB cells and in the glomus cells of the carotid body. Cultures of dissociated fetal rabbit NEB cells and newborn rat glomus cells were immunostained with specific antibodies recognizing the various polypeptide subunits of the oxidase using indirect immunofluorescence methods. Immunostaining with the anti-oxidase antibodies reveal strong positive reaction in both NEB and glomus cell clusters while other cells were unstained. The positive reaction product was localized to the plasma membrane and/or cytoplasm and no nuclear staining was observed. Live cell labelling studies with anti-p22 antibody showed positive immunofluorescence on the surface of NEB cells, suggesting that this component of the oxidase is also associated with the plasma membrane. In glomus cells, similar strongly positive immunofluorescence signal was observed for p22 and gp91 in paraformaldehyde-fixed cultures, regardless whether they were permeabilized or not. Taken together, our findings of cell surface localization of gp91 and p22 components of the oxidase in chemoreceptive cells suggests that the heme-linked cytochrome b558 component is associated with the plasma membrane. This association allows for direct interaction with the O2-sensitive K+ channel thus forming the molecular complex of membrane bound O2 sensor.

Abstract
Energy metabolism in liver has to cope with the special tasks of this organ in intermediary metabolism. Main ATP-generating processes in the liver cell are the respiratory chain and glycolysis, whereas main ATP-consuming processes are gluconeogenesis, urea synthesis, protein synthesis, ATPases and mitochondrial proton leak. Mitochondrial respiratory chain in the intact liver cell is subject to control mainly by substrate (hydrogen donors, ADP, oxygen) transport and supply and proton leak/slip. Whereas hormonal control is mainly on substrate supply to mitochondria, proton leak/slip is supposed to play an important role in the modulation of the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
The oxygen dependence of hepatic cellular respiration was studied by employing simultaneous organ spectrophotometry of cytochromes and hemoglobin, the latter used as an intrasinusoidal optical oxygen probe. The Km of cytochrome aa3 for oxygen was found to be 6.8 microM in the isolated perfused liver and 0.3 microM in suspensions of isolated hepatocytes. The results indicate that the sinusoid-to-cell pO2 gradient is about 5 torr. Optical determination of the average effective pO2 indicates that the axial sinusoidal O2 profile does not conform to zero-order O2 uptake in the liver. Because of extensive NAD+ reduction, ethanol increases the thermodynamic driving force of oxidative phosphorylation, and it also increased the oxygen consumption in both the perfused liver and the hepatocyte suspension, but had no effect on the grade of steady-state cytochrome aa3 reduction, the cellular energy state [ATP]/[ADP].[Pi], or the Km of cytochrome aa3 for oxygen. The results indicate that hepatic energy metabolism is oxygen independent at very low O2 concentrations, but that the sinusoidal axial O2 concentration is anomalous, probably due to the spatial arrangement of the metabolizing systems.

Abstract
Results obtained from a new approach of investigating O2 distribution in intact perfused liver under hypoxic conditions are presented. Based on the signals observed by organ absorbance spectrophotometry from two compartments with oxidases of markedly different O2 sensitivity, the mitochondria and the peroxisomes, a distribution between high O2 and zero O2 zones is postulated, an intermediate border zone of O2 concentrations between the K0,5 (O2) values being virtually absent (steep intercellular O2 gradients).
