Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADPH) oxidases, known for their role in generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as key regulators of specific cellular signaling pathways. While their primary function is ROS production, recent research has highlighted the significance of their site-specific activity in governing distinct cellular signaling events. NADPH oxidases (Nox) are found in various cell types, and both their expression and activities are tightly regulated. The generated ROS, such as superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide, function as secondary messengers that modulate various signaling molecules, including protein kinases, transcription factors, and phosphatases. The site-specific action of NADPH oxidases in different cellular compartments, such as the plasma membrane, endosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum, allows for precise control over specific signaling pathways. Understanding the complex interplay of NADPH oxidases in cellular signaling is essential for deciphering their roles in health and disease. Dysregulation of these enzymes can lead to oxidative stress and inflammation, making them potential therapeutic targets in various pathological conditions. Ongoing research into NADPH oxidase activation and site-specific signaling promises to unveil new insights into cellular physiology and potential treatment strategies.

Abstract
Background Angiogenesis response plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of Crohn's disease (CD) and may involve the mechanism of infliximab non-response. However, the role of angiogenesis-related genes in Crohn's disease has not been comprehensively studied. This study aimed to explore the expression profiles of angiogenesis-related genes in CD patients and construct models for disease diagnosis and prediction of infliximab non-response. Methods CD-related microarray datasets were collected from the GEO database. Unsupervised consensus clustering analysis was performed based on differentially expressed angiogenesis-related genes to divide CD samples into two distinct clusters. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was conducted on the clusters to identify angiogenesis-related module. Based on the differentially expressed genes in the module, machine learning algorithms were employed to further identify hub genes and construct a disease diagnostic model. Subsequently, treatment outcome-related genes were extracted from these hub genes, and a predictive model for infliximab non-response in CD patients was ultimately built. Results Based on angiogenesis-related genes, we identified two distinct CD clusters (C1 and C2). Compared to C1, the metabolic pathways in C2 were significantly upregulated, and there was a higher abundance of cell clusters such as M1 macrophages and plasma cells. Additionally, C2 showed a poorer response to infliximab. Furthermore, a predictive model for infliximab non-response in CD patients was constructed based on the hub genes, and it was successfully validated using an external dataset. Conclusion Comprehensive analysis of angiogenesis-related genes revealed different clusters of CD, which exhibited differential response rates to infliximab. The construction of models provides a reference for disease diagnosis and drug selection, aiding in clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic intestinal disorders that result from an inappropriate inflammatory response to the microbiota in genetically susceptible individuals, often triggered by environmental stressors. Part of this response is the persistent inflammation and tissue injury associated with deficiency or excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The NADPH oxidase NOX1 is highly expressed in the intestinal epithelium, and inactivating NOX1 missense mutations are considered a risk factor for developing very early onset IBD. Albeit NOX1 has been linked to wound healing and host defence, many questions remain about its role in intestinal homeostasis and acute inflammatory conditions. Here, we used in vivo imaging in combination with inhibitor studies and germ-free conditions to conclusively identify NOX1 as essential superoxide generator for microbiota-dependent peroxynitrite production in homeostasis and during early endotoxemia. NOX1 loss-of-function variants cannot support peroxynitrite production, suggesting that the gut barrier is persistently weakened in these patients. One of the loss-of-function NOX1 variants, NOX1 p. Asn122His, features replacement of an asparagine residue located in a highly conserved HxxxHxxN motif. Modelling the NOX1-p22phox complex revealed near the distal heme an internal pocket restricted by His119 and Asn122 that is part of the oxygen reduction site. Functional studies in several human NADPH oxidases show that substitution of asparagine with amino acids with larger side chains is not tolerated, while smaller side chains can support catalytic activity. Thus, we identified a previously unrecognized structural feature required for the electron transfer mechanism in human NADPH oxidases.

Abstract
Oxidation-reduction reactions played a significant role in the chemical evolution of life forms on oxygenated earth. Cellular respiration is dependent on such redox reactions, and any imbalance leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in both chronic and acute illnesses. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), by 2040, the global burden of new cancer cases is expected to be around 27.5 million, with 16.3 million cancer deaths due to an increase in risk factors such as unhealthy lifestyle, environmental factors, aberrant gene mutations, and resistance to therapies. ROS play an important role in cellular signalling, but they can cause severe damage to tissues when present at higher levels. Elevated and chronic levels of ROS are pertinent in carcinogenesis, while several therapeutic strategies rely on altering cellular ROS to eliminate tumour cells as they are more susceptible to ROS-induced damage than normal cells. Given this selective targeting potential, therapies that can effectively modulate ROS levels have been the focus of intense research in recent years. The current review describes biologically relevant ROS, its origins in solid and haematological cancers, and the current status of evolving antioxidant and pro-oxidant therapies in cancers.

Abstract
The NADPH Oxidases (NOX) catalyze the deliberate production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and are established regulators of redox-dependent processes across diverse biological settings. Proper management of their activity is controlled through a conserved electron transfer (ET) cascade from cytosolic NADPH substrate through the plasma membrane to extracellular O2. After decades-long investigations of their biological functions, including potential as drug targets, only very recently has atomic-resolution information of NOX enzymes been made available. In this graphical review, we summarize the present structural biology understanding of the NOX enzymes afforded by X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. Combined molecular-level insights predominantly informed by DUOX1 full-length Cryo-EM structures suggest a general structural basis for the control of their catalytic activity by intracellular domain-domain stabilization.

Abstract
The proteomics field has undergone tremendous development with the introduction of many innovative methods for the identification and characterization of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Sensitive and quantitative protein association-based techniques represent a versatile tool to probe the architecture of receptor complexes and receptor-ligand interactions and expand the drug discovery toolbox by facilitating high-throughput screening (HTS) approaches. These novel methodologies will be highly enabling for interrogation of structural determinants required for the activity of multimeric membrane-bound enzymes with unresolved crystal structure and for HTS assay development focused on unique characteristics of complex assembly instead of common catalytic features, thereby increasing specificity. We describe here an example of a binary luciferase reporter assay (NanoBiT®) to quantitatively assess the heterodimerization of the catalytically active NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) enzyme complex. The catalytic subunit NOX4 requires association with the protein p22phox for stabilization and enzymatic activity, but the precise manner by which these two membrane-bound proteins interact to facilitate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation is currently unknown. The NanoBiT complementation reporter quantitatively determined the accurate, reduced, or failed complex assembly, which can then be confirmed by determining H2O2 release, protein expression, and heterodimer trafficking. Multimeric complex formation differs between NOX enzyme isoforms, facilitating isoform-specific, PPI-based drug screening in the future.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a noninflammatory progressive lung disease. Oxidative damage is a hallmark of IPF, but the sources and consequences of oxidant generation in the lungs are unclear. In this study, we addressed the link between the H2O2-generating enzyme NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and di-tyrosine (DT), an oxidative post-translational modification in IPF lungs. We performed immunohistochemical staining for DT and NOX4 in pulmonary tissue from patients with IPF and controls using validated antibodies. In the healthy lung, DT showed little or no staining and NOX4 was mostly present in normal vascular endothelium. On the other hand, both markers were detected in several cell types in the IPF patients, including vascular smooth muscle cells and epithelium (bronchial cells and epithelial cells type II). The link between NOX4 and DT was addressed in human fibroblasts deficient for NOX4 activity (mutation in the CYBA gene). Induction of NOX4 by Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) in fibroblasts led to moderate DT staining after the addition of a heme-containing peroxidase in control cells but not in the fibroblasts deficient for NOX4 activity. Our data indicate that DT is a histological marker of IPF and that NOX4 can generate a sufficient amount of H2O2 for DT formation in vitro.

Abstract
Thyroid dysgenesis (TD) accounts for 80% cases of congenital hypothyroidism, which is the most common neonatal disorder. Until now, the gene mutations have been reported associated with TD can only account for 5% cases, suggesting the genetic heterogeneity of the pathology. Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) plays a crucial role in regulating redox homeostasis, patients carrying NNT mutations have been described with a clinical phenotype of hypothyroidism. As TD risk is increased in the context of several syndromes and redox homeostasis is vital for thyroid development and function, NNT might be a candidate gene involved in syndromic TD. Therefore, we performed target sequencing (TS) in 289 TD patients for causative mutations in NNT and conducted functional analysis of the gene mutations. TS and Sanger sequence were used to screen the novel mutations. For functional analysis, we performed western blot, measurement of NADPH/NADPtotal and H2 O2 generation, cell proliferation, and wounding healing assay. As a result, three presumably pathogenic mutations (c.811G > A, p.Ala271Ser; c.2078G > A, p.Arg693His; and c.2581G > A, p.Val861Met) in NNT had been identified. Our results showed the damaging effect of NNT mutations on stability and catalytic activity of proteins and redox balance of cells. In conclusion, our findings provided novel insights into the role of the NNT isotype in thyroid physiopathology and broaden the spectrum of pathogenic genes associated with TD. However, the pathogenic mechanism of NNT in TD is still need to be investigated in further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objectives of this study were to analyze the distribution of dual oxidase (DUOX) system genes (containing DUOX2, DUOX1, DUOXA2, and DUOXA1) variants in children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and their phenotypes. METHODS Target region sequencing technology was performed on DUOX system genes among 606 CH subjects covering all the exon and intron regions. Detailed clinical data were collected for statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 95 suspected pathogenic variants were detected in the DUOX system genes, showing a 39.11% rate in variant carrying (237/606). DUOX2 had the highest rate in this study. There were statistical differences in maximum adjusted dose and current dose of levothyroxine between the DUOX system genes nonmutated group with the mutated group (both Ps < 0.001). The cases in the DUOX system genes mutated group were more likely to develop into transient CH (χ 2 = 23.155, P < 0.001) and more likely to manifested as goiter or gland-in-situ (χ 2 = 66.139, P < 0.001). In addition, there was no significant difference in clinical characteristics between DUOX system genes monoallelic and non-monoallelic. Although 20% of the variants affected the functional domain regions (EF hand, flavin adenine dinucleotide and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide binding sites), there was no significant effect on the phenotype severity whether the variation is located in the functional domain regions. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed the high variation rate of DUOX2 in the DUOX system genes among Chinese CH patients. The complex genotype-phenotype relationship of DUOX system genes broadened the understanding of CH phenotype spectrum.

Abstract
Redox medicine is a new therapeutic concept targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS) and secondary reaction products for health benefit. The concomitant function of ROS as intracellular second messengers and extracellular mediators governing physiological redox signaling, and as damaging radicals instigating or perpetuating various pathophysiological conditions will require selective strategies for therapeutic intervention. In addition, the reactivity and quantity of the oxidant species generated, its source and cellular location in a defined disease context need to be considered to achieve the desired outcome. In inflammatory diseases associated with oxidative damage and tissue injury, ROS source specific inhibitors may provide more benefit than generalized removal of ROS. Contemporary approaches in immunity will also include the preservation or even elevation of certain oxygen metabolites to restore or improve ROS driven physiological functions including more effective redox signaling and cell-microenvironment communication, and to induce mucosal barrier integrity, eubiosis and repair processes. Increasing oxidants by host-directed immunomodulation or by exogenous supplementation seems especially promising for improving host defense. Here, we summarize examples of beneficial ROS in immune homeostasis, infection, and acute inflammatory disease, and address emerging therapeutic strategies for ROS augmentation to induce and strengthen protective host immunity.

Abstract
Dual oxidase 1 (DUOX1) is a member of the protein family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases. DUOX1 has several normal physiological, immunological, and biochemical functions in different parts of the body. Dysregulated oxidative metabolism interferes with various disease pathologies and numerous therapeutic options are based on targeting cellular redox pathways. DUOX1 forms an important enzymatic source of biological oxidants, and DUOX1 expression is frequently dysregulated in various diseases. While this review shortly addresses the biochemical and cellular properties and proposed physiological roles of DUOX1, its main purpose is to summarize the current knowledge with respect to the potential role of DUOX1 enzyme in disease pathology, especially in mammalian organisms. Although DUOX1 is normally prominently expressed in epithelial lineages, it is frequently silenced in epithelial-derived cancers by epigenetic mechanisms. While an abundance of information is available on DUOX1 transcription in different diseases, an increasing number of mechanistic studies indicate a causative relationship between DUOX1 function and disease pathophysiology. Additionally, specific functions of the DUOX1 maturation factor, DUOXA1, will also be addressed. Lastly, urgent and outstanding questions on the field of DUOX1 will be discussed that could provide valuable new diagnostic tools and novel therapeutic options.

DUOX1, a NADPH oxidase family member, catalyzes the production of hydrogen peroxide. DUOX1 is expressed in various tissues, including thyroid and respiratory tract, and plays a crucial role in processes such as thyroid hormone biosynthesis and innate host defense. DUOX1 co-assembles with its maturation factor DUOXA1 to form an active enzyme complex. However, the molecular mechanisms for activation and regulation of DUOX1 remain mostly unclear. Here I present cryo-EM structures of the mammalian DUOX1–DUOXA1 complex, in the absence and presence of substrate NADPH, as well as DUOX1–DUOXA1 in an unexpected dimer-of-dimer configuration. These structures reveal atomic details of the DUOX1–DUOXA1 interaction, a lipid-mediated NADPH-binding pocket and the electron transfer path. Furthermore, biochemical and structural analyses indicate that the dimer-of-dimer configuration represents an inactive state of DUOX1–DUOXA1, suggesting an oligomerization-dependent regulatory mechanism. Together, my work provides structural bases for DUOX1–DUOXA1 activation and regulation.

Abstract
Significance: Despite their intrinsic cytotoxic properties, mounting evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) physiologically produced by the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases (NOXs) of epithelial cells (NOX1, dual oxidase [DUOX]2) and phagocytes (NOX2) are critical for innate immune response and homeostasis of the intestinal mucosa. However, dysregulated ROS production could be a driving factor in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Recent Advances: In addition to NOX2, recent studies have demonstrated that NOX1- and DUOX2-derived ROS can regulate intestinal innate immune defense and homeostasis by impacting many processes, including bacterial virulence, expression of bacteriostatic proteins, epithelial renewal and restitution, and microbiota composition. Moreover, the antibacterial role of DUOX2 is a function conserved in evolution as it has been described in invertebrates, and lower and higher vertebrates. In humans, variants of the NOX2, NOX1, and DUOX2 genes, which are associated with impaired ROS production, have been identified in very early onset IBD, but overexpression of NOX/DUOX, especially DUOX2, has also been described in IBD, suggesting that loss-of-function or excessive activity of the ROS-generating enzymes could contribute to disease progression. Critical Issues: Therapeutic perspectives aiming at targeting NOX/DUOX in IBD should take into account the two sides of NOX/DUOX-derived ROS in intestinal inflammation. Hence, NOX/DUOX inhibitors or ROS inducers should be considered as a function of the disease context. Future Directions: A thorough understanding of the physiological and pathological regulation of NOX/DUOX in the gastrointestinal tract is an absolute pre-requisite for the development of therapeutic strategies that can modulate ROS levels in space and time.

Abstract
Interstitial lung fibroblast activation coupled with extracellular matrix production is a pathological signature of pulmonary fibrosis, and is governed by transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/Smad signalling. TGF-β1 and oxidative stress cooperate to drive fibrosis. Cells can produce reactive oxygen species through activation and/or induction of NADPH oxidases, such as dual oxidase (DUOX1/2). Since DUOX enzymes, as extracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-generating systems, are involved in extracellular matrix formation and in wound healing in different experimental models, we hypothesised that DUOX-based NADPH oxidase plays a role in the pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis.Our in vivo data (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients and mouse models of lung fibrosis) showed that the NADPH oxidase DUOX1 is induced in response to lung injury. DUOX1-deficient mice (DUOX1+/− and DUOX1−/−) had an attenuated fibrotic phenotype. In addition to being highly expressed at the epithelial surface of airways, DUOX1 appears to be well expressed in the fibroblastic foci of remodelled lungs. By using primary human and mouse lung fibroblasts, we showed that TGF-β1 upregulates DUOX1 and its maturation factor DUOXA1 and that DUOX1-derived H2O2 promoted the duration of TGF-β1-activated Smad3 phosphorylation by preventing phospho-Smad3 degradation. Analysis of the mechanism revealed that DUOX1 inhibited the interaction between phospho-Smad3 and the ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L, preventing NEDD4L-mediated ubiquitination of phospho-Smad3 and its targeting for degradation.These findings highlight a role for DUOX1-derived H2O2 in a positive feedback that amplifies the signalling output of the TGF-β1 pathway and identify DUOX1 as a new therapeutic target in pulmonary fibrosis.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis and function when produced in physiological ranges. Important sources of cellular ROS include NADPH oxidases (Nox), which are evolutionary conserved multi-subunit transmembrane proteins. Nox-mediated ROS regulate variety of biological processes including hormone synthesis, calcium signaling, cell migration, and immunity. ROS participate in intracellular signaling by introducing post-translational modifications to proteins and thereby altering their functions. The central nervous system (CNS) expresses different Nox isoforms during both development and adulthood. Here, we review the role of Nox-mediated ROS during CNS development. Specifically, we focus on how individual Nox isoforms contribute to signaling in neural stem cell maintenance and neuronal differentiation, as well as neurite outgrowth and guidance. We also discuss how ROS regulates the organization and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton in the neuronal growth cone. Finally, we review recent evidence that Nox-derived ROS modulate axonal regeneration upon nervous system injury.

Proton channel blockers inhibit Duox activity independent of Hv1 effects. Redox Biol 2019; 28:101346.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase reaction produces protons. In the case of the NADPH oxidase, NOX2, activity depends on secretion of these protons and is inhibited by blockade of the voltage-gated proton channel (Hv1). Duox1 and Duox2 activities similarly produce intracellular protons but synthesize hydrogen peroxide directly instead of superoxide. Hv1 contributes to acid secretion in some epithelia that express Duox. To test the hypothesis that Duox activity is also sensitive to Hv1 channel blockers, Duox was assayed in the presence of either Zn2+ or 5-chloro-2-guanidinobenzimidazole (ClGBI). Both compounds inhibited Duox activity in normal human bronchial epithelial cells but with an IC50 over 10-fold higher than that reported for Hv1 (IC50 Zn2+ = 0.68 mM; IC50 ClGBI = 0.07–0.14 mM). Homogenized HEK293T cells expressing either Duox1 or Duox2 showed similar IC50 values for ClGBI suggesting these compounds inhibit the enzymes through alternate mechanisms independent of Hv1 proton secretion. Inclusion of superoxide dismutase did not restore Duox hydrogen peroxide synthesis. Addition of nigericin to eliminate any possible transmembrane pH gradients in intracellular membrane-localized Duox did not alter activity in HEK293T homogenates. Extracellular Zn2+ blocked intracellular Ca2+ increases needed for Duox activity. Together the data suggest that Duox enzyme activities in epithelia are inhibited by compounds that block Hv1 but inhibition occurs through Hv1-independent mechanisms and support the idea that Hv1 is not required for Duox activity. Hv1 proton channel inhibitors block Duox in differentiated bronchial epithelial cells. Zinc blocks Duox activity concurrently with reduction of calcium transients. ClGBI, an inhibitor of Hv1, blocks Duox activity in homogenates of cells lacking Hv1. In differentiated bronchial epithelia, Hv1 blockers did not alter intracellular pH. H+/K+ ATPase inhibition acidified cytoplasm but did not block Duox activity.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone synthesis requires H2O2, produced by two NADPH oxidases, Duox1 and Duox2. To be fully active at the apical pole of the thyrocytes, these enzymes need additional maturation factors DuoxA1 and DuoxA2. The proteins have been shown to be localized at the cell surface, suggesting that they could form a complex with Duox counterparts. We have generated multiple HEK293 Tet-On3G cell lines that express various combinations of DuoxA upon doxycycline induction, in association with a constitutive expression of the Duox enzyme. We compared Duox specific activity, Duox/DuoxA cell surface interactions and the cellular consequences of sustained H2O2 generation. By normalizing H2O2 extracellular production by Duox or DuoxA membrane expression, we have demonstrated that the most active enzymatic complex is Duox2/DuoxA2, compared to Duox1/DuoxA1. A direct cell surface interaction was shown between Duox1/2 and both DuoxA1 and DuoxA2 using the Duolink® technology, Duox1/DuoxA1 and Duox2/DuoxA2 membrane complexes being more stable than the unpaired ones. A significant increase in DNA damage was observed in the nuclei of Duox2/DuoxA2 expressing cells after doxycycline induction and stimulation of Duox catalytic activity. The maturation and activity of Duox2 were drastically impaired when expressed with the glycosylation-defective maturation factor DuoxA2, while the impact of the unglycosylated DuoxA1 mutant on Duox1 membrane expression and activity was rather limited. The present data demonstrate for the first time that H2O2 produced by the Duox2/DuoxA2 cell surface enzymatic complex could provoke potential mutagenic DNA damage in an inducible cellular model, and highlight the importance of the co-expressed partner in the activity and stability of Duox/DuoxA complexes.

Abstract
Background NADPH oxidases (NOX) are a family of flavoenzymes that catalyze the formation of superoxide anion radical (O2•-) and/or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). As major oxidant generators, NOX are associated with oxidative damage in numerous diseases and represent promising drug targets for several pathologies. Various small molecule NOX inhibitors are used in the literature, but their pharmacological characterization is often incomplete in terms of potency, specificity and mode of action. Experimental approach We used cell lines expressing high levels of human NOX isoforms (NOX1-5, DUOX1 and 2) to detect NOX-derived O2•- or H2O2 using a variety of specific probes. NOX inhibitory activity of diphenylene iodonium (DPI), apocynin, diapocynin, ebselen, GKT136901 and VAS2870 was tested on NOX isoforms in cellular and membrane assays. Additional assays were used to identify potential off target effects, such as antioxidant activity, interference with assays or acute cytotoxicity. Key results Cells expressing active NOX isoforms formed O2•-, except for DUOX1 and 2, and in all cases activation of NOX isoforms was associated with the detection of extracellular H2O2. Among all molecules tested, DPI elicited dose-dependent inhibition of all isoforms in all assays, however all other molecules tested displayed interesting pharmacological characteristics, but did not meet criteria for bona fide NOX inhibitors. Conclusion Our findings indicate that experimental results obtained with widely used NOX inhibitors must be carefully interpreted and highlight the challenge of developing reliable pharmacological inhibitors of these key molecular targets.

Abstract
Thyroid hormone synthesis requires adequate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production that is utilized as an oxidative agent during the synthesis of thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid H2O2 is generated by a member of the family of NADPH oxidase enzymes (NOX-es), termed dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2). NOX/DUOX enzymes produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) as their unique enzymatic activity in a timely and spatially regulated manner and therefore, are important regulators of diverse physiological processes. By contrast, dysfunctional NOX/DUOX-derived ROS production is associated with pathological conditions. Inappropriate DUOX2-generated H2O2 production results in thyroid hypofunction in rodent models. Recent studies also indicate that ROS improperly released by NOX4, another member of the NOX family, are involved in thyroid carcinogenesis. This review focuses on the current knowledge concerning the redox regulation of thyroid hormonogenesis and cancer development with a specific emphasis on the NOX and DUOX enzymes in these processes.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are the largest group of cell surface receptors, which link cells to their environment. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can act as important cellular signaling molecules. The family of NADPH oxidases generates ROS in response to activated cell surface receptors. Recent Advances: Various signaling pathways linking GPCRs and activation of NADPH oxidases have been characterized. CRITICAL ISSUES Still, a more detailed analysis of G proteins involved in the GPCR-mediated activation of NADPH oxidases is needed. In addition, a more precise discrimination of NADPH oxidase activation due to either upregulation of subunit expression or post-translational subunit modifications is needed. Also, the role of noncanonical modulators of NADPH oxidase activation in the response to GPCRs awaits further analyses. FUTURE DIRECTIONS As GPCRs are one of the most popular classes of investigational drug targets, further detailing of G protein-coupled mechanisms in the activation mechanism of NADPH oxidases as well as better understanding of the link between newly identified NADPH oxidase interaction partners and GPCR signaling will provide new opportunities for improved efficiency and decreased off target effects of therapies targeting GPCRs.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of active human dual oxidases (DUOX1 and DUOX2) requires maturation factors, a.k.a. DUOX activator proteins (DUOXA1 and DUOXA2), that form covalent complexes with DUOX; both chains together represent the mature catalytic unit that functions as a dedicated hydrogen peroxide-generating enzyme. Genetic defects in DUOX2 or DUOXA2 can result in congenital hypothyroidism, whereas partial defects in DUOX2 activity also have been associated with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease. Our understanding of the links between DUOX dysfunction and these diseases remains incomplete. An important challenge in developing a better understanding of the pathogenic roles of DUOX defects requires robust and reliable DUOX reconstitution cell models to examine the functional consequences of candidate DUOX missense mutations and polymorphisms. Here, we describe methods for efficient heterologous DUOX/DUOXA co-expression and functional characterization, including detailed assessments of posttranslational processing and subcellular translocation of DUOX that accompanies the maturation of these enzymes into catalytically active NADPH oxidases.

Abstract
The identification of NADPH oxidase (NOX) isoforms in tissues is essential for interpreting experiments and for next step decisions regarding cell lines, animal models, and targeted drug design. Two basic methods, immunoblotting and reverse transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), are important to monitor NOX protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels, respectively, for a range of investigations from understanding cell signaling events to judging NOX inhibitor efficacies. For many other genes that are expressed in high abundance, these methods may seem rather simple. However, detecting the low expression levels of endogenous NOX/DUOX is difficult and can be frustrating, so some guidelines would be helpful to those who are facing difficulties. One reason why detection is so difficult is the limited availability of vetted NOX/DUOX antibodies. Many of the commercial antibodies do not perform well in our hands, and dependable antibodies, often generated by academic laboratories, are in limited supply. Another problem is the growing trend in the NOX literature to omit end-user validation of antibodies by not providing appropriate positive and negative controls. With regard to NOX mRNA levels, knockdown of NOX/DUOX has been reported in cell lines with very low endogenous expression (C q values ≥30) or in cell lines devoid of the targeted NOX isoform (e.g., NOX4 expression in NCI-60 cancer cell panel cell line 786-0). These publications propagate misinformation and hinder progress in understanding NOX/DUOX function. This chapter provides overdue guidelines on how to validate a NOX antibody and provides general methodologies to prepare samples for optimal detection. It also includes validated methodology to perform RT-qPCR for the measurement of NOX mRNA levels, and we suggest that RT-qPCR should be performed prior to embarking on NOX protein detection.

Abstract
The stabilization and activation of NOX4 through its binding with p22phox are well documented; however little is known of the precise manner by which these two proteins interact. In recent years, the field of proteomics has undergone tremendous development with the introduction of many novel methods for the identification and characterization of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). To enhance our understanding of structural determinants leading to the association between NOX4 and p22phox, we developed a binary luciferase reporter assay (NanoBiT®) to quantitatively assess NOX4-p22phox heterodimerization. The complementation reporter quantitatively determines the accurate, reduced, or failed complex assembly, which can be confirmed and further interrogated by analyzing NOX4 catalytic activity (H2O2 release), protein expression, and dimer localization. This association-based PPI technique represents both a much-needed expansion of the NOX4 lead discovery tool box and a versatile method to probe the architecture of NOX and DUOX complexes in the future.

Abstract
Extracellular hydrogen peroxide is required for thyroperoxidase-mediated thyroid hormone synthesis in the follicular lumen of the thyroid gland. Among the NADPH oxidases, dual oxidases, DUOX1 and DUOX2, constitute a distinct subfamily initially identified as thyroid oxidases, based on their level of expression in the thyroid. Despite their high sequence similarity, the two isoforms present distinct regulations, tissue expression, and catalytic functions. Inactivating mutations in many of the genes involved in thyroid hormone synthesis cause thyroid dyshormonogenesis associated with iodide organification defect. This chapter provides an overview of the genetic alterations in DUOX2 and its maturation factor, DUOXA2, causing inherited severe hypothyroidism that clearly demonstrate the physiological implication of this oxidase in thyroid hormonogenesis. Mutations in the DUOX2 gene have been described in permanent but also in transient forms of congenital hypothyroidism. Moreover, accumulating evidence demonstrates that the high phenotypic variability associated with altered DUOX2 function is not directly related to the number of inactivated DUOX2 alleles, suggesting the existence of other pathophysiological factors. The presence of two DUOX isoforms and their corresponding maturation factors in the same organ could certainly constitute an efficient redundant mechanism to maintain sufficient H2O2 supply for iodide organification. Many of the reported DUOX2 missense variants have not been functionally characterized, their clinical impact in the observed phenotype remaining unresolved, especially in mild transient congenital hypothyroidism. DUOX2 function should be carefully evaluated using an in vitro assay wherein (1) DUOXA2 is co-expressed, (2) H2O2 production is activated, (3) and DUOX2 membrane expression is precisely analyzed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual oxidases (DUOX1 and DUOX2) were initially identified as H2O2 sources involved in thyroid hormone synthesis. Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) resulting from inactivating mutations in the DUOX2 gene highlighted that DUOX2 is the major H2O2 provider to thyroperoxidase. The role of DUOX1 in the thyroid remains unknown. A recent study suggests that it could compensate for DUOX2 deficiency in CH. Both DUOX enzymes and their respective maturation factors DUOXA1 and DUOXA2 form a stable complex at the cell surface, which is fundamental for their enzymatic activity. Recently, intra- and intermolecular disulfide bridges were identified that are essential for the structure and the function of the DUOX2-DUOXA2 complex. This study investigated the involvement of cysteine residues conserved in DUOX1 toward the formation of disulfide bridges, which could be important for the function of the DUOX1DUOXA1 complex. METHODS To analyze the role of these cysteine residues in both the targeting and function of dual oxidase, different human DUOX1 mutants were constructed, where the cysteine residues were replaced with glycine. The effect of these mutations on cell surface expression and H2O2-generating activity of the DUOX1-DUOXA1 complex was analyzed. RESULTS Mutations of two cysteine residues (C118 and C1165), involved in the formation of the intramolecular disulfide bridge between the N-terminal ectodomain and one of the extracellular loops, mildly altered the function and the targeting of DUOX1, while this bridge is crucial for DUOX2 function. Unlike DUOXA2, with respect to DUOX2, the stability of the maturation factor DUOXA1 is not dependent on the oxidative folding of DUOX1. Only mutation of C579 induced a strong alteration of both targeting and function of the oxidase by preventing the covalent interaction between DUOX1 and DUOXA1. CONCLUSION An intermolecular disulfide bridge rather than an intramolecular disulfide bridge is important for both the trafficking and H2O2-generating activity of the DUOX1-DUOXA1 complex.

Abstract
The acquisition of resistance is a major obstacle to the clinical use of platinum drugs for ovarian cancer treatment. Increase of DNA damage response is one of major mechanisms contributing to platinum-resistance. However, how DNA damage response is regulated in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer cells remains unclear. Using quantitative high throughput combinational screen (qHTCS) and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), we show that dual oxidase maturation factor 1 (DUOXA1) is overexpressed in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer cells, resulting in over production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Elevated ROS level sustains the activation of ATR-Chk1 pathway, leading to resistance to cisplatin in ovarian cancer cells. Moreover, using qHTCS we identified two Chk1 inhibitors (PF-477736 and AZD7762) that re-sensitize resistant cells to cisplatin. Blocking this novel pathway by inhibiting ROS, DUOXA1, ATR or Chk1 effectively overcomes cisplatin resistance in vitro and in vivo. Significantly, the clinical studies also confirm the activation of ATR and DOUXA1 in ovarian cancer patients, and elevated DOUXA1 or ATR-Chk1 pathway correlates with poor prognosis. Taken together, our findings not only reveal a novel mechanism regulating cisplatin resistance, but also provide multiple combinational strategies to overcome platinum-resistance in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions critically regulate many biological systems, but quantifying functional assembly of multipass membrane complexes in their native context is still challenging. Here, we combined modeling-assisted protein modification and information from human disease variants with a minimal-size fusion tag, split-luciferase-based approach to probe assembly of the NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4)-p22phox enzyme, an integral membrane complex with unresolved structure, which is required for electron transfer and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Integrated analyses of heterodimerization, trafficking, and catalytic activity identified determinants for the NOX4-p22phox interaction, such as heme incorporation into NOX4 and hot spot residues in transmembrane domains 1 and 4 in p22phox Moreover, their effect on NOX4 maturation and ROS generation was analyzed. We propose that this reversible and quantitative protein-protein interaction technique with its small split-fragment approach will provide a protein engineering and discovery tool not only for NOX research, but also for other intricate membrane protein complexes, and may thereby facilitate new drug discovery strategies for managing NOX-associated diseases.

Autophagy regulates DUOX1 localization and superoxide production in airway epithelial cells during chronic IL-13 stimulation. Redox Biol 2018; 14:272-284.

Abstract
The airway epithelium is a broad interface with the environment, mandating well-orchestrated responses to properly modulate inflammation. Classically, autophagy is a homeostatic pathway triggered in response to external cellular stresses, and is elevated in chronic airway diseases. Recent findings highlight the additional role of autophagy in vesicle trafficking and protein secretion, implicating autophagy pathways in complex cellular responses in disease. Th2 cytokines, IL-13 and IL-4, are increased in asthma and other airway diseases contributing to chronic inflammation. Previously, we observed that IL-13 increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) in airway epithelial cells in an autophagy-dependent fashion. Here, we tested our hypothesis that autophagy is required for IL-13-mediated superoxide production via the NADPH oxidase DUOX1. Using a mouse model of Th2-mediated inflammation induced by OVA-allergen, we observed elevated lung amounts of IL-13 and IL-4 accompanied by increased autophagosome levels, determined by LC3BII protein levels and immunostaining. ROS levels were elevated and DUOX1 expression was increased 70-fold in OVA-challenged lungs. To address the role of autophagy and ROS in the airway epithelium, we treated primary human tracheobronchial epithelial cells with IL-13 or IL-4. Prolonged, 7-day treatment increased autophagosome formation and degradation, while brief activation had no effect. Under parallel culture conditions, IL-13 and IL-4 increased intracellular superoxide levels as determined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Prolonged IL-13 activation increased DUOX1, localized at the apical membrane. Silencing DUOX1 by siRNA attenuated IL-13-mediated increases in superoxide, but did not reduce autophagy activities. Notably, depletion of autophagy regulatory protein ATG5 significantly reduced superoxide without diminishing total DUOX1 levels. Depletion of ATG5, however, diminished DUOX1 localization at the apical membrane. The findings suggest non-canonical autophagy activity regulates DUOX1-dependent localization required for intracellular superoxide production during Th2 inflammation. Thus, in chronic Th2 inflammatory airway disease, autophagy proteins may be responsible for persistent intracellular superoxide production.

Abstract
Abstract
Duox2 belongs to the large family of NADPH-oxidase enzymes that are implicated in immune response, vasoregulation, hormone synthesis, cell growth and differentiation via the regulated synthesis of H2O2 and reactive oxygen species. We and others have shown that Duox2 and H2O2 are involved in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) induced migration of fibroblasts. Now, using the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing we demonstrate that the extreme C-terminal region of Duox2 is required for PDGF-stimulated activity of Duox2 and H2O2 production. We generated the fibroblast cells that stably co-express the wild-type or C-terminally modified Duox2 and fluorescent H2O2 probe Hyper. We found that nonsense substitution of the last 23 amino acids in Duox2 results in complete loss of PDGF stimulation of intracellular H2O2 and fibroblast migration, yet these mutations have no effects on the expression of Duox2 and other NADPH-oxidases in cells. These findings illustrate for the first time that the extreme C-terminus of Duox2 is required for the functional activity of the enzyme. Furthermore, the conservative nature of the C-terminus suggests its role for activity in other NADPH-oxidases.

Abstract
Dysregulated oxidative metabolism is a well-recognized aspect of cancer biology, and many therapeutic strategies are based on targeting cancers by altering cellular redox pathways. The NADPH oxidases (NOXes) present an important enzymatic source of biological oxidants, and the expression and activation of several NOX isoforms are frequently dysregulated in many cancers. Cell-based studies have demonstrated a role for several NOX isozymes in controlling cell proliferation and/or cell migration, further supporting a potential contributing role for NOX in promoting cancer. While various NOX isoforms are often upregulated in cancers, paradoxical recent findings indicate that dual oxidases (DUOXes), normally prominently expressed in epithelial lineages, are frequently suppressed in epithelial-derived cancers by epigenetic mechanisms, although the functional relevance of such DUOX silencing has remained unclear. This review will briefly summarize our current understanding regarding the importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NOXes in cancer biology, and focus on recent observations indicating the unique and seemingly opposing roles of DUOX enzymes in cancer biology. We will discuss current knowledge regarding the functional properties of DUOX, and recent studies highlighting mechanistic consequences of DUOX1 loss in lung cancer, and its consequences for tumor invasiveness and current anticancer therapy. Finally, we will also discuss potentially unique roles for the DUOX maturation factors. Overall, a better understanding of mechanisms that regulate DUOX and the functional consequences of DUOX silencing in cancer may offer valuable new diagnostic insights and novel therapeutic opportunities.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), originally characterized based on their harmful effects on cells or organisms, are now recognized as important signal molecules regulating various biological processes. In particular, low levels of ROS released from mitochondria extend lifespan. Here, we identified a novel mechanism of generating appropriate levels of ROS at the plasma membrane through a peroxidase and dual oxidase (DUOX) system, which could extend lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans A redox co-factor, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), activates the C. elegans DUOX protein BLI-3 to produce the ROS H2O2 at the plasma membrane, which is subsequently degraded by peroxidase (MLT-7), eventually ensuring adequate levels of ROS. These ROS signals are transduced mainly by the oxidative stress transcriptional factors SKN-1 (Nrf2 or NFE2L2 in mammals) and JUN-1, and partially by DAF-16 (a FOXO protein homolog). Cell biology experiments demonstrated a similarity between the mechanisms of PQQ-induced activation of human DUOX1 and DUOX2 and that of C. elegans BLI-3, suggesting that DUOXs are potential targets of intervention for lifespan extension. We propose that low levels of ROS, fine-tuned by the peroxidase and dual oxidase system at the plasma membrane, act as second messengers to extend lifespan by the effect of hormesis.

After the identification of thyroid H2O2 generation system (DUOX) and of its maturation factors (DUOXA), defects in DUOX2 and/or DUOXA2 were rapidly recognized as the possible cause of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) due to thyroid dyshormonogenesis. The present Review reports data on the prevalence of DUOX2 mutations, which is variable among different series but invariably high, pointing to DUOX2 defects as one of the leading causes of dyshormonogenesis. Differently, DUOXA defects seem to be rarely involved in the pathogenesis of CH. Genotype-phenotype correlations are also reported, highlighting the great intra- and inter-familial phenotype variability which appears to be a constant feature of the defects in the H2O2 generation systems. Finally, the hypotheses to explain the phenotypic variability of the DUOX2/A2 mutations are discussed, such as the existence of other H2O2 generating systems, the age variability in thyroid hormones requirements, the differences in ethnicity, in iodine intake, and in the methodological approaches.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a crucial substrate for thyroid peroxidase, a key enzyme involved in thyroid hormone synthesis. However, as a potent oxidant, H2O2 might also be responsible for the high level of oxidative DNA damage observed in thyroid tissues, such as DNA base lesions and strand breakages, which promote chromosomal instability and contribute to the development of tumours. Although the role of H2O2 in thyroid hormone synthesis is well established, its precise mechanisms of action in pathological processes are still under investigation. The NADPH oxidase/dual oxidase family are the only oxidoreductases whose primary function is to produce reactive oxygen species. As such, the function and expression of these enzymes are tightly regulated. Thyrocytes express dual oxidase 2, which produces most of the H2O2 for thyroid hormone synthesis. Thyrocytes also express dual oxidase 1 and NADPH oxidase 4, but the roles of these enzymes are still unknown. Here, we review the structure, expression, localization and function of these enzymes. We focus on their potential role in thyroid cancer, which is characterized by increased expression of these enzymes.

Abstract
Maintaining the redox balance between generation and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is critical for health. Disturbances such as continuously elevated ROS levels will result in oxidative stress and development of disease, but likewise, insufficient ROS production will be detrimental to health. Reduced or even complete loss of ROS generation originates mainly from inactivating variants in genes encoding for NADPH oxidase complexes. In particular, deficiency in phagocyte Nox2 oxidase function due to genetic variants (CYBB, CYBA, NCF1, NCF2, NCF4) has been recognized as a direct cause of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an inherited immune disorder. More recently, additional diseases have been linked to functionally altered variants in genes encoding for other NADPH oxidases, such as for DUOX2/DUOXA2 in congenital hypothyroidism, or for the Nox2 complex, NOX1 and DUOX2 as risk factors for inflammatory bowel disease. A comprehensive overview of novel developments in terms of Nox/Duox-deficiency disorders is presented, combined with insights gained from structure-function studies that will aid in predicting functional defects of clinical variants.

Abstract
AIMS The dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2) protein belongs to the NADPH oxidase (NOX) family. As H2O2 generator, it plays a key role in both thyroid hormone biosynthesis and innate immunity. DUOX2 forms with its maturation factor, DUOX activator 2 (DUOXA2), a stable complex at the cell surface that is crucial for the H2O2-generating activity, but the nature of their interaction is unknown. The contribution of some cysteine residues located in the N-terminal ectodomain of DUOX2 in a surface protein-protein interaction is suggested. We have investigated the involvement of different cysteine residues in the formation of covalent bonds that could be of critical importance for the function of the complex. RESULTS We report the identification and the characterization of an intramolecular disulfide bond between cys-124 of the N-terminal ectodomain and cys-1162 of an extracellular loop of DUOX2, which has important functional implications in both export and activity of DUOX2. This intramolecular bridge provides structural support for the formation of interdisulfide bridges between the N-terminal domain of DUOX2 and the two extracellular loops of its partner, DUOXA2. INNOVATION Both stability and function of the maturation factor, DUOXA2, are dependent on the oxidative folding of DUOX2, indicating that DUOX2 displays a chaperone-like function with respect to its partner. CONCLUSIONS The oxidative folding of DUOX2 that takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) appears to be a key event in the trafficking of the DUOX2/DUOXA2 complex as it promotes an appropriate conformation of the N-terminal region, which is propitious to subsequent covalent interactions with the maturation factor, DUOXA2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Defects in intestinal innate defense systems predispose patients to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases in the mucosal barrier maintain gut homeostasis and defend against pathogenic attack. We hypothesized that molecular genetic defects in intestinal NADPH oxidases might be present in children with IBD. METHODS After targeted exome sequencing of epithelial NADPH oxidases NOX1 and DUOX2 on 209 children with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD), the identified mutations were validated using Sanger Sequencing. A structural analysis of NOX1 and DUOX2 variants was performed by homology in silico modeling. The functional characterization included ROS generation in model cell lines and in in vivo transduced murine crypts, protein expression, intracellular localization, and cell-based infection studies with the enteric pathogens Campylobacter jejuni and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli. RESULTS We identified missense mutations in NOX1 (c.988G>A, p.Pro330Ser; c.967G>A, p.Asp360Asn) and DUOX2 (c.4474G>A, p.Arg1211Cys; c.3631C>T, p.Arg1492Cys) in 5 of 209 VEOIBD patients. The NOX1 p.Asp360Asn variant was replicated in a male Ashkenazi Jewish ulcerative colitis cohort. All NOX1 and DUOX2 variants showed reduced ROS production compared with wild-type enzymes. Despite appropriate cellular localization and comparable pathogen-stimulated translocation of altered oxidases, cells harboring NOX1 or DUOX2 variants had defective host resistance to infection with C. jejuni. CONCLUSIONS This study identifies the first inactivating missense variants in NOX1 and DUOX2 associated with VEOIBD. Defective ROS production from intestinal epithelial cells constitutes a risk factor for developing VEOIBD.

Abstract
Determining the role of NADPH oxidases in the context of virus infection is an emerging area of research and our knowledge is still sparse. The expression of various isoforms of NOX/DUOX (NADPH oxidase/dual oxidase) in the epithelial cells (ECs) lining the respiratory tract renders them primary sites from which to orchestrate the host defence against respiratory viruses. Accumulating evidence reveals distinct facets of the involvement of NOX/DUOX in host antiviral and pro-inflammatory responses and in the control of the epithelial barrier integrity, with individual isoforms mediating co-operative, but surprisingly also opposing, functions. Although in vivo studies in mice are in line with some of these observations, a complete understanding of the specific functions of epithelial NOX/DUOX awaits lung epithelial-specific conditional knockout mice. The goal of the present review is to summarize our current knowledge of the role of individual NOX/DUOX isoforms expressed in the lung epithelium in the context of respiratory virus infections so as to highlight potential opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
In the thyroid gland Duox2-derived H2O2 is essential for thyroid hormone biosynthesis. Several patients were identified with partial or severe iodide organification defects caused by mutation in the gene for Duox2 or its maturation factor, DuoxA2. A Duox2-deficient (Duox2(thyd)) mouse model enabled in vivo investigation of its critical function in thyroid tissues, but its roles proposed in host defense or other innate responses in nonthyroid tissues remain less certain. These mice carry a spontaneous DUOX2 missense mutation, a T→G transversion, in exon 16 that changes the highly conserved valine 674 to glycine and results in severe congenital hypothyroidism. The exact mechanism underlying the effects of the V674G mutation has not been elucidated at the molecular or cellular level. To determine how the V674G mutation leads to congenital hypothyroidism, we introduced the same mutation into human Duox2 or Duox1 cDNAs and expressed them in HEK-293 cells stably expressing the corresponding DuoxA proteins. We found that the valine→glycine mutant Duox proteins fail to produce H2O2, lose their plasma membrane localization pattern, and are retained within the endoplasmic reticulum. The Duox2 mutant binds to DuoxA2, but appears to be unstable owing to this retention. Immunohistochemical staining of Duox2 in murine salivary gland ducts showed that Duox2 in mutant mice loses its condensed apical plasma membrane localization pattern characteristic of wild-type Duox2 and accumulates in punctate vesicular structures within cells. Our findings demonstrate that changing the highly conserved valine 674 in Duox2 leads to impaired subcellular targeting and reactive oxygen species release required for hormonogenesis, resulting in congenital hypothyroidism.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote genomic instability, altered signal transduction, and an environment that can sustain tumor formation and growth. The NOX family of NADPH oxidases, membrane-bound epithelial superoxide and hydrogen peroxide producers, plays a critical role in the maintenance of immune function, cell growth, and apoptosis. The impact of NOX enzymes in carcinogenesis is currently being defined and may directly link chronic inflammation and NOX ROS-mediated tumor formation. RECENT ADVANCES Increased interest in the function of NOX enzymes in tumor biology has spurred a surge of investigative effort to understand the variability of NOX expression levels in tumors and the effect of NOX activity on tumor cell proliferation. These initial efforts have demonstrated a wide variance in NOX distribution and expression levels across numerous cancers as well as in common tumor cell lines, suggesting that much remains to be discovered about the unique role of NOX-related ROS production within each system. Progression from in vitro cell line studies toward in vivo tumor tissue screening and xenograft models has begun to provide evidence supporting the importance of NOX expression in carcinogenesis. CRITICAL ISSUES A lack of universally available, isoform-specific antibodies and animal tumor models of inducible knockout or over-expression of NOX isoforms has hindered progress toward the completion of in vivo studies. FUTURE DIRECTIONS In vivo validation experiments and the use of large, existing gene expression data sets should help define the best model systems for studying the NOX homologues in the context of cancer.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Among the NADPH oxidases, the dual oxidases, DUOX1 and DUOX2, constitute a distinct subfamily initially called thyroid oxidases, based on their high level of expression in thyroid tissue. Genetic alterations causing inherited hypothyroidism clearly demonstrate their physiological implication in thyroid hormonogenesis. However, a growing list of biological functions triggered by DUOX-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) in highly differentiated mucosae have recently emerged. RECENT ADVANCES A role of DUOX enzymes as ROS providers for lactoperoxidase-mediated killing of invading pathogens has been well established and a role in bacteria chemorepulsion has been proposed. Control of DUOX expression and activity by inflammatory molecules and immune receptor activation consolidates their contributions to innate immune defense of mucosal surfaces. Recent studies conducted in ancestral organisms have identified effectors of DUOX redox signaling involved in wound healing including epithelium regeneration and leukocyte recruitment. Moreover, local generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by DUOX has also been suggested to constitute a positive feedback loop to promote receptor signaling activation. CRITICAL ISSUES A correct balance between H2O2 generation and detoxification mechanisms must be properly maintained to avoid oxidative damages. Overexpression of DUOX genes has been associated with an increasing number of chronic inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, H2O2-mediated DNA damage supports a mutagenic function promoting tumor development. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Despite the high sequence similarity shared between DUOX1 and DUOX2, the two isoforms present distinct regulations, tissue expression and catalytic functions. The phenotypic characterization of novel DUOX/DUOXA invalidated animal models will be very useful for defining their medical importance in pathological conditions.

Abstract
From the initial discovery in 1999 that NADPH oxidases comprise a family of enzymes to our current focus on drug development to treat multiple pathologies related to this enzyme family, progress has been swift and impressive. We have expanded our understanding of the extent of the family, the basic enzymatic biochemistry, the multiple cellular functions controlled by NADPH oxidases, and their varied roles in physiology and diseases. We have developed numerous cell culture tools, animal models, and human databases that have allowed us to delve deeply into the various roles of these enzymes. However, it is clear that much remains to be learned and that there are many opportunities for new tools and new research directions to more fully understand these critical enzymes. With this Antioxidants and Redox Signaling Forum, we explore in detail the progress, challenges, and opportunities in Nox biology. Progress so far has clearly shown that NADPH oxidases are integral to fully functioning organisms and that the dysregulation of Nox enzymes contributes to a wide variety of pathologies. We have the opportunity to develop new tools and small molecules that will not only help us to better understand the molecular underpinnings of NADPH oxidases but also to develop treatments for diverse human diseases.

Abstract
AIMS Influenza A virus (IAV), a major airborne pathogen, is closely associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The primary target for influenza virus replication is the respiratory epithelium, which reacts to infection by mounting a multifaceted antiviral response. A part of this mucosal host defense is the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by NADPH oxidases. Duox1 and Duox2 are the main ROS-producing enzymes in the airway epithelium, but their contribution to mammalian host defense is still ill defined. RESULTS To gain a better understanding of Duox function in respiratory tract infections, human differentiated lung epithelial cells and an animal model were used to monitor the effect of epithelial ROS on IAV propagation. IAV infection led to coordinated up-regulation of Duox2 and Duox-mediated ROS generation. Interference with H2O2 production and ROS signaling by oxidase inhibition or H2O2 decomposition augmented IAV replication. A nuclear pool of Duox enzymes participated in the regulation of the spliceosome, which is critical for alternative splicing of viral transcripts and controls the assembly of viable virions. In vivo silencing of Duox increased the viral load on intranasal infection with 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus. INNOVATION This is the first study conclusively linking Duox NADPH oxidases with the antiviral mammalian immune response. Further, ROS generated by Duox enzymes localized adjacent to nuclear speckles altered the splicing of viral genes. CONCLUSION Duox-derived ROS are host protective and essential for counteracting IAV replication.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The evolution of the lungs and circulatory systems in vertebrates ensured the availability of molecular oxygen (O2; dioxygen) for aerobic cellular metabolism of internal organs in large animals. O2 serves as the physiologic terminal acceptor of mitochondrial electron transfer and of the NADPH oxidase (Nox) family of oxidoreductases to generate primarily water and reactive oxygen species (ROS), respectively. RECENT ADVANCES The purposeful generation of ROS by Nox family enzymes suggests important roles in normal physiology and adaptation, most notably in host defense against invading pathogens and in cellular signaling. CRITICAL ISSUES However, there is emerging evidence that, in the context of chronic stress and/or aging, Nox enzymes contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of lung diseases. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Here, we review evolving functions of Nox enzymes in normal lung physiology and emerging pathophysiologic roles in lung disease.

Abstract
NADPH oxidases (Nox) are a primary source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which function in normal physiology and, when overproduced, in pathophysiology. Recent studies using mice deficient in Nox2 identify this isoform as a novel target against Nox2-implicated inflammatory diseases. Nox2 activation depends on the binding of the proline-rich domain of its heterodimeric partner p22phox to p47phox. A high-throughput screen that monitored this interaction via fluorescence polarization identified ebselen and several of its analogs as inhibitors. Medicinal chemistry was performed to explore structure-activity relationships and to optimize potency. Ebselen and analogs potently inhibited Nox1 and Nox2 activity but were less effective against other isoforms. Ebselen also blocked translocation of p47phox to neutrophil membranes. Thus, ebselen and its analogs represent a class of compounds that inhibit ROS generation by interrupting the assembly of Nox2-activating regulatory subunits.

Abstract
CONTEXT Mutations in the DUOX2 gene have been associated with transient or permanent congenital hypothyroidism due to a dyshormonogenic defect. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to verify the prevalence of DUOX2 mutations and the associated clinical features in children selected by criteria supporting a partial iodide organification defect (PIOD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty children with PIOD-like criteria were enrolled and genotyped. A detailed clinical characterization was undertaken together with the functional analysis of the DUOX2 variations and the revision of the clinical and molecular data of the literature. RESULTS In this large selected series, the prevalence of the DUOX2 mutations was high (37%). We identified 12 missense variants, one splice site, and three frameshift DUOX2 mutations. Functional analyses showed significant impairment of H2O2 generation with five missense variants. Stop-codon mutants were shown to totally abolish DUOX2 activity by nonsense-mediated RNA decay, exon skipping, or protein truncation. DUOX2 mutations, either mono- or biallelic, were most frequently associated with permanent congenital hypothyroidism. Moreover, the present data suggested that, together with goiter and PIOD, the most significant features to select patients for the DUOX2 analysis are the low free T4 and the high TSH concentrations at the first postnatal serum sampling, despite borderline blood spot TSH. Interestingly, the analysis of previously described DUOX2 mutated cases confirmed the validity of these findings. CONCLUSIONS The defects in the peroxide generation system are common among congenital hypothyroidism patients with PIOD. The most robust clinical parameters for selecting patients for DUOX2 analysis have been identified, and several DUOX2 variants have been functionally characterized.

Dual oxidase maturation factor 1 (DUOXA1) overexpression increases reactive oxygen species production and inhibits murine muscle satellite cell differentiation. Cell Commun Signal 2014; 12:5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual oxidase maturation factor 1 (DUOXA1) has been associated with the maturation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) producing enzyme, dual oxidase 1 (DUOX1) in the adult thyroid. However, ROS have also been implicated in the development of several tissues. We found that activated muscle satellite cells and primary myoblasts isolated from mice express robust levels of DUOXA1 and that its levels are altered as cells differentiate. RESULTS To determine whether DUOXA1 levels affect muscle differentiation, we used an adenoviral construct (pCMV5-DUOXA1-GFP) to drive constitutive overexpression of this protein in primary myoblasts. High levels of DUOXA1 throughout myogenesis resulted in enhanced H2O2 production, fusion defects, reduced expression of early (myogenin) and late (myosin heavy chain) markers of differentiation, and elevated levels of apoptosis compared to control cells infected with an empty adenoviral vector (pCMV5-GFP). DUOXA1 knockdown (using a DUOXA1 shRNA construct) resulted in enhanced differentiation compared to cells subjected to a control shRNA, and subjecting DUOXA1 overexpressing cells to siRNAs targeting DUOX1 or apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) rescued the phenotype. CONCLUSIONS This study represents the first to demonstrate the importance of DUOXA1 in skeletal muscle myoblasts and that DUOXA1 overexpression in muscle stem cells induces apoptosis and inhibits differentiation through DUOX1 and ASK1.

Abstract
The nematode exoskeleton, commonly called the cuticle, is a highly structured extracellular matrix mainly composed of collagen. Secreted collagen molecules from the underlying epidermal cells are cross-linked via their tyrosyl residues. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are required for the cross-linking reaction to produce tyrosyl radicals. The conserved ROS generator enzyme in C. elegans, BLI-3/CeDUOX1, a homolog of dual oxidases (DUOXs), is responsible for production of hydrogen peroxide. The ROS generation system must be properly controlled since ROS are highly reactive molecules that irreversibly inhibit the functions of cellular components such as nucleic acids and proteins. We recently reported that the ROS generation system directed by BLI-3 requires the tetraspanin protein, TSP-15. Herein we outline the process of cuticle development with a focus on the molecular roles of TSP-15 in the BLI-3 system. We also propose the co-occurrence of tetraspanin and ROS generators by convergent evolution.
