Abstract
The hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )-producing NADPH oxidase Nox4, forming a heterodimer with p22phox , is expressed in a variety of cells including those in the heart to mediate adaptive responses to cellular stresses such as hypoxia. Since Nox4 is constitutively active, H2 O2 production is controlled by its protein abundance. Hypoxia-induced Nox4 expression is observed in various types of cells and generally thought to be regulated at the transcriptional level. Here we show that hypoxia upregulates the Nox4 protein level and Nox4-catalyzed H2 O2 production without increasing the Nox4 mRNA in rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes. In these cells, the Nox4 protein is stabilized under hypoxic conditions in a manner dependent on the presence of p22phox . Cell treatment with the proteasome inhibitor MG132 results in a marked decrease of the Nox4 protein under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions, indicating that the proteasome pathway does not play a major role in Nox4 degradation. The decrease is partially restored by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine. Furthermore, the Nox4 protein level is upregulated by the lysosome inhibitors bafilomycin A1 and chloroquine. Thus, in cardiomyocytes, Nox4 appears to be degraded via an autophagy-related pathway, and its suppression by hypoxia likely stabilizes Nox4, leading to upregulation of Nox4-catalyzed H2 O2 production.

Abstract
Aims: The goal of this study was to determine whether nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (NOX)-produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) enhance brain tumor growth of glioblastoma (GBM) under hypoxic conditions and during radiation treatment. Results: Exogenous ROS promoted brain tumor growth in gliomasphere cultures that expressed functional phosphate and tensin homolog (PTEN), but not in tumors that were PTEN deficient. Hypoxia induced the production of endogenous cytoplasmic ROS and tumor cell growth via activation of NOX. NOX activation resulted in oxidation of PTEN and downstream protein kinase B (Akt) activation. Radiation also promoted ROS production via NOX, which, in turn, resulted in cellular protection that could be abrogated by knockdown of the key NOX component, p22. Knockdown of p22 also inhibited tumor growth and enhanced the efficacy of radiation in PTEN-expressing GBM cells. Innovation: While other studies have implicated NOX function in GBM models, this study demonstrates NOX activation and function under physiological hypoxia and following radiation in GBM, two conditions that are seen in patients. NOX plays an important role in a PTEN-expressing GBM model system, but not in PTEN-nonfunctional systems, and provides a potential, patient-specific therapeutic opportunity. Conclusion: This study provides a strong basis for pursuing NOX inhibition in PTEN-expressing GBM cells as a possible adjunct to radiation therapy. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 39, 890-903.

Abstract
Monocytes play a key role in innate immunity by eliminating pathogens, releasing high levels of cytokines, and differentiating into several cell types, including macrophages and dendritic cells. Similar to other phagocytes, monocytes produce superoxide anions through the NADPH oxidase complex, which is composed of two membrane proteins (p22phox and gp91phox/NOX2) and four cytosolic proteins (p47phox, p67phox, p40phox and Rac1). The pathways involved in NADPH oxidase activation in monocytes are less known than those in neutrophils. Here, we show that p22phox is associated with Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase 2 (ROCK2) in human monocytes but not neutrophils. This interaction occurs between the cytosolic region of p22phox (amino acids 132 to 195) and the coiled-coil region of ROCK2 (amino acids 400 to 967). Interestingly, ROCK2 does not phosphorylate p22phox, p40phox, p67phox, or gp91phox in vitro but phosphorylates p47phox on Ser304, Ser315, Ser320 and Ser328. Furthermore, KD025, a selective inhibitor of ROCK2, inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and p47phox phosphorylation in monocytes. Specific inhibition of ROCK2 expression in THP1-monocytic cell line by siRNA inhibited ROS production. These data show that ROCK2 interacts with p22phox and phosphorylates p47phox, and suggest that p22phox could be a shuttle for ROCK2 to allow p47phox phosphorylation and NADPH oxidase activation in human monocytes.

Abstract
Defective superoxide production by NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2) in phagocyte cells results in the development of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a hereditary disease characterized by recurrent and life-threatening infections. The partner protein p22phox is a membrane-spanning protein which forms a stable heterodimer with Nox2 in the endoplasmic reticulum. This interaction ensures the stability of each protein and their accurate trafficking to the cell membrane. The present paper describes the characterization of p22phox missense mutations that were identified in a patient with CGD who presented with undetectable levels of p22phox . Using a reconstitution system, it was found that p22phox expression decreased when R90Q, A117E, S118R, A124S, A124V, A125T, or E129K mutations were introduced, suggesting that these mutations destabilize the protein. In contrast, introducing an L105R mutation did not affect protein expression, but did inhibit p22phox binding to Nox2. Thus, the missense mutations discussed here contribute to the development of CGD by either disrupting protein stability or by impairing the interaction between p22phox and Nox2.

Abstract
The vascular endothelium plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of vascular homeostasis, mediated by vasoactive molecules produced by endothelial cells. The balance between vasoconstrictor and vasodilator biomolecules is what guarantees this equilibrium. Therefore, an increase in the bioavailability of vasoconstrictors along with a reduction in vasodilators may indicate a condition known as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction is marked by an inflammatory process and reduced activity of vasoprotective enzymes, being characterized by some factors like the reduction of the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) and increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), pro-inflammatory and vasoconstrictor molecules. This condition is a predictive marker of several cardiovascular diseases (e.g., atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes). Research is affected by the scarcity of suitable in vitro models that simulate endothelial dysfunction. The goal of this study was to induce an in vitro condition to mimic endothelial dysfunction by inhibiting NO synthesis in cells. Thymus-derived endothelial cells (tEnd.1) were treated with different concentrations of L-NAME (from 1 to 1,000 μM) for different times (12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h without and with retreatment every 24 h). Cell viability, nitrite concentration, p22phox, NOX2, NOX4, IL-6, and ACE genes expression and lipid peroxidation were evaluated. The results indicate that the treatment with 100 μM L-NAME for 72 h without retreatment reduced NO concentration and NOX4 gene expression while increasing ACE expression, thus mimicking reduced vascular protection and possibly increased vasoconstriction. On the other hand, treatment with 100 μM L-NAME for 96 h with retreatment reduced the concentration of NO and the expression of the p22phox gene while increasing the expression of the IL-6 and ACE genes, mimicking the increase in inflammation and vasoconstriction parameters. Based on these results, we thus propose that both 100 μM L-NAME for 72 h without retreatment and 100 μM L-NAME for 96 h with retreatment may be used as models for in vitro endothelial dysfunction according to the purpose of the study to be conducted.

Abstract
PURPOSE This is a functional characterization of a novel CYBA variant associated with normal DHR flow cytometry. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inborn error of immunity characterized by recurrent bacterial and fungal infections and dysregulated inflammatory responses due to defective phagocytic cell function leading to the formation of granulomas. CGD patients have pathogenic variants in any of the five components of the phagocytic NADPH oxidase, which transfers electrons through the phagosomal membrane and produces superoxide upon bacterial uptake. Here, we report a pediatric female patient with a novel homozygous missense variant (c.293C > T, p.(Ser98Leu)) in CYBA, encoding the p22phox protein, associated with autosomal recessive CGD. METHODS AND RESULTS The patient presented with severe recurrent pneumonia. Specific pathogens identified included Burkholderia and Serratia species suggesting neutrophil functional abnormalities; however, the dihydrorhodamine-1,2,3 (DHR) flow cytometric and cytochrome c reduction assays for neutrophil respiratory burst fell within the low side of the normal range. Western blot and flow cytometric analysis of individual NADPH oxidase components revealed reduced levels of p22phox and gp91phoxphox proteins. The pathological consequence of the p.Ser98Leu variant was further evaluated in heterologous expression systems, which confirmed reduced p22phox protein stability and oxidase activity. CONCLUSIONS Although this patient did not exhibit all the classic features of CGD, such as granulomas and skin infections, she had recurrent pneumonias with oxidant-sensitive pathognomonic organisms, resulting in appropriate targeted CGD testing. This case emphasizes the need to contextually interpret laboratory data, especially using clinical findings to direct additional assessments including genetic analysis.

Abstract
NADPH oxidase (Nox) 4 produces H2O2 by forming a heterodimer with p22phox and is involved in hemangioendothelioma development through monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) upregulation. Here, we show that Nox4 protein levels were maintained by p22phox in hemangioendothelioma cells and Nox4 protein stability was dependent on p22phox coexpression. Conversely, the degradation of Nox4 monomer was enhanced by p22phox knockdown. Under hypoxic conditions in hemangioendothelioma cells, p22phox was downregulated at the mRNA and protein levels. Downregulation of p22phox protein resulted in the enhanced degradation of Nox4 protein in hypoxia-treated hemangioendothelioma cells. In contrast, Nox2, a Nox isoform, was not altered at the protein level under hypoxic conditions. Nox2 exhibited a higher affinity for p22phox compared with Nox4, suggesting that when coexpressed with Nox4 in the same cells, Nox2 acts as a competitor. Nox2 knockdown restored Nox4 protein levels partially reduced by hypoxic treatment. Thus, Nox4 protein levels were attenuated in hypoxia-treated cells resulting from p22phox depletion. MCP-1 secretion was decreased concurrently with hypoxia-induced Nox4 downregulation compared with that under normoxia.

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
The run/cysteine-rich-domain-containing Beclin1-interacting autophagy protein (Rubicon) is essential for the regulation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase by interacting with p22phox to trigger the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in immune cells. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the interaction of Rubicon with p22phox increases cellular ROS levels. The correlation between Rubicon and mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) is poorly understood. Here, we report that Rubicon interacts with p22phox in the outer mitochondrial membrane in macrophages and patients with human ulcerative colitis. Upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation, the binding of Rubicon to p22phox was elevated, and increased not only cellular ROS levels but also mtROS, with an impairment of mitochondrial complex III and mitochondrial biogenesis in macrophages. Furthermore, increased Rubicon decreases mitochondrial metabolic flux in macrophages. Mito-TIPTP, which is a p22phox inhibitor containing a mitochondrial translocation signal, enhances mitochondrial function by inhibiting the association between Rubicon and p22phox in LPS-primed bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) treated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). Remarkably, Mito-TIPTP exhibited a therapeutic effect by decreasing mtROS in DSS-induced acute or chronic colitis mouse models. Thus, our findings suggest that Mito-TIPTP is a potential therapeutic agent for colitis by inhibiting the interaction between Rubicon and p22phox to recover mitochondrial function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of p22phox and NOX5 in autophagy and apoptosis of osteoblasts induced by hypoxia. METHODS The skull tissue of newborn rats was cut into small pieces, and the osteoblasts were separated and purified by the tissue block adherent method and the differential adherent method. The first generation cells were harvested and identified by HE staining, Alizarin red staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, and flow cytometry. A three-gas incubator was used to prepare a hypoxia model of osteoblasts. At 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours of hypoxia, the expressions of p22phox, NOX5, and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ were detected by Western blot, and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell apoptosis rate were detected by flow cytometry. And the time point of the highest level of ROS was selected as the hypoxia time point for subsequent experiments. The first generation osteoblasts were divided into normal group, si-p22phox hypoxia group, and si-NOX5 hypoxia group and subjected to corresponding transfection and hypoxia treatment. The inhibition efficiency of si-p22phox and si-NOX5 were detected by RT-PCR. Then the osteoblasts were divided into normal group, si-NC hypoxia group, si-p22phox hypoxia group, and si-NOX5 hypoxia group. After transfection and hypoxia treatment, Western blot was used to detect the expressions of p22phox, NOX5, autophagy-related proteins (LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin), and apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, Bax), and flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate and level of ROS. The first generation osteoblasts were divided into a hypoxia group for 12 hours (hypoxia group) and a group that simultaneously inhibited si-p22phox and si-NOX5 and hypoxia for 12 hours (inhibition+hypoxia group). The expressions of Beclin and Bax were observed by immunofluorescence staining after the corresponding treatment. RESULTS After identification, the isolated cells were osteoblasts. After hypoxia treatment, the relative expressions of p22phox, NOX5, and LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ proteins and the apoptosis rate of osteoblasts gradually increased ( P<0.05), and the level of ROS also significantly increased ( P<0.05) and reached the peak value at 12 hours. The 12-hour hypoxia model was selected for subsequent experiments. Silencing the p22phox gene did not affect the expression of NOX5, and silencing the NOX5 gene did not affect the expression of p22phox. Compared with hypoxia treatment, the relative expressions of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ, Beclin, and Bax proteins after inhibiting the expression of p22phox or NOX5 gene significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the relative expression of Bcl-2 protein significantly increased ( P<0.05), the cell apoptosis rate and level of ROS also significantly decreased ( P<0.05). After silencing the expressions of p22phox and NOX5 genes at the same time, the immunofluorescence staining showed that the fluorescence of Beclin and Bax were weak. CONCLUSION Inhibiting the expressions of p22phox and NOX5 genes can reduce the level of ROS in osteoblasts under hypoxia-induced conditions, and at the same time reduce autophagy and apoptosis, especially attenuate the excessive apoptosis of cells in the early to late stages, and strengthen the hypoxic osteoblasts proliferation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the biological role and molecular mechanism of p22phox in epithelial ovarian cancer. Immunohistochemistry was employed to determine the p22phox expression level in epithelial ovarian cancer tissues. The effects of p22phox on epithelial ovarian cancer cell proliferation, tumorigenesis, and chemosensitivity were evaluated by CCK-8, EdU assay, colony formation and apoptosis assays in vitro and by mouse experiments in vivo. Immunoprecipitation analyses were utilized to explore the potential mechanisms of p22phox mediated downstream signaling, and RT-PCR and western blot were used to confirm the relevance. P22phox expression could be detected in epithelial ovarian cancer tissues and normal fallopian epithelial cells. Silencing p22phox suppressed epithelial ovarian cancer cell proliferation and colony formation capacity in vitro, and inhibited the tumor growth in nude mice bearing the A2780 xenograft in vivo. Mechanistic investigations showed that p22phox regulated proteasome ubiquitination and subsequent proteasome-dependent degradation of p53 in A2780 and U87 cells in vitro. Furthermore, knockdown of p22phox significantly increased the chemosensitivity of A2780 cells to cisplatin or paclitaxel. These results suggested that p22phox as a pivotal oncogene during epithelial ovarian cancer carcinogenesis and p22phox inhibition might be a potential therapeutic strategy for epithelial ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Prolonged treatment with cisplatin (CDDP) frequently develops chemoresistance. We have previously shown that p22phox, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein, confers CDDP resistance by blocking CDDP nuclear entry in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells; however, the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. Using a fluorescent dye-labeled CDDP, here we show that CDDP can bind to p22phox in both cell-based and cell-free contexts. Subsequent detection of CDDP-peptide interaction by the Tris-Tricine-based electrophoresis revealed that GA-30, a synthetic peptide matching a region of the cytosolic domain of p22phox, could interact with CDDP. These results were further confirmed by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) analysis, from which MA-11, an 11-amino acid subdomain of the GA-30 domain, could largely account for the interaction. Amino acid substitutions at Cys50, Met65 and Met73, but not His72, significantly impaired the binding between CDDP and the GA-30 domain, thereby suggesting the potential CDDP-binding residues in p22phox protein. Consistently, the p22phox point mutations at Cys50, Met65 and Met73, but not His72, resensitized OSCC cells to CDDP-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Finally, p22phox might have binding specificity for the platinum drugs, including CDDP, carboplatin and oxaliplatin. Together, we have not only identified p22phox as a novel CDDP-binding protein, but further highlighted the importance of such a drug-protein interaction in drug resistance.

Abstract
Increased pulmonary vascular permeability due to endothelial cell (EC) barrier dysfunction is a major pathological feature of acute respiratory distress syndrome/acute lung injury (ARDS/ALI), which is a devastating critical illness with high incidence and excessive mortality. Activation of NADPH oxidase (NOX) induces EC dysfunction via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the role(s) of NOX isoform(s), and their downstream signaling events, in the development of ARDS/ALI have remained unclear. Cecal Ligation Puncture (CLP) was used to induce preclinical septic ALI in wild-type mice and mice deficient in NOX2 or p47phox, or mice transfected of control siRNA, NOX1 or NOX4 siRNA in vivo. The survival rate of the CLP group at 24 h (26.6%, control siRNA treated) was substantially improved by NOX4 knockdown (52.9%). Mice lacking NOX2 or p47phox, however, had worse outcomes after CLP (survival rates at 0% and 8.3% respectively), whereas NOX1-silenced mice had similar survival rate (30%). NOX4 knockdown attenuated lung ROS production in septic mice, whereas NOX1 knockdown, NOX2 knockout, or p47phox knockout in mice had no effects. In addition, NOX4 knockdown attenuated redox-sensitive activation of the CaMKII/ERK1/2/MLCK pathway, and restored expression of EC tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin to maintain EC barrier integrity. Correspondingly, NOX4 knockdown in cultured human lung microvascular ECs also reduced LPS-induced ROS production, CaMKII/ERK1/2/MLCK activation and EC barrier dysfunction. Scavenging superoxide in vitro and in vivo with TEMPO, or inhibiting CaMKII activation with KN93, had similar effects as NOX4 knockdown in preserving EC barrier dysfunction. In summary, we have identified a novel, selective and causal role of NOX4 (versus other NOX isoforms) in inducing lung EC barrier dysfunction and injury/mortality in a preclinical CLP-induced septic model, which involves redox-sensitive activation of CaMKII/ERK1/2/MLCK pathway. Targeting NOX4 may therefore prove to an innovative therapeutic option that is markedly effective in treating ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
Cardiovascular side effects are frequent problems accompanying systemic glucocorticoid therapy, although the underlying mechanisms are not fully resolved. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to promote various cardiovascular diseases although the link between glucocorticoid and ROS signaling has been controversial. As the family of NADPH oxidases has been identified as important source of ROS in the cardiovascular system we investigated the role of NADPH oxidases in response to the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone in the cardiovascular system in vitro and in vivo in mice lacking functional NADPH oxidases due to a mutation in the gene coding for the essential NADPH oxidase subunit p22phox. We show that dexamethasone induced NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS generation, leading to vascular proliferation and angiogenesis due to activation of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF1). Chronic treatment of mice with low doses of dexamethasone resulted in the development of systemic hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction, as well as in pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary vascular remodeling. In contrast, mice deficient in p22phox-dependent NADPH oxidases were protected against these cardiovascular side effects. Mechanistically, dexamethasone failed to upregulate HIF1α levels in these mice, while vascular HIF1α deficiency prevented pulmonary vascular remodeling. Thus, p22phox-dependent NADPH oxidases and activation of the HIF pathway are critical elements in dexamethasone-induced cardiovascular pathologies and might provide interesting targets to limit cardiovascular side effects in patients on chronic glucocorticoid therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in oxidative stress and signal transduction. Recent studies have suggested that NADPH oxidase is associated with the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The aim of this study was to detect the expression of NADPH oxidase subunits and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) in nasal polyp tissue and normal nasal mucosa, in order to explore the possible role played by NADPH oxidase in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP. METHODS Thirteen patients with CRSwNP and 9 normal control subjects were selected to participate in this study, in which we evaluated the expression of different NADPH oxidase subunits (gp91phox , p67phox , p47phox , and p22phox ) in nasal polyp (NP) tissue and control mucosa by Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect expression of the p67phox subunit and 4-HNE in NP tissue and normal nasal mucosa. RESULTS Western blot and real-time PCR results showed that p67phox expression was significantly increased in NP tissue when compared with its expression in control mucosa (p = 0.004). p67phox was expressed in the eosinophils and neutrophils found in NP tissue, but not in the macrophages. Additionally, the levels of 4-HNE expression were also significantly increased in NP tissue when compared with control mucosa (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION The levels of p67phox messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein as well as 4-HNE were both upregulated in NP tissue, suggesting that p67phox and oxidative stress play roles in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP.

Abstract
NADPH oxidase (Nox) is the main source of reactive oxygen species in vascular diseases, which have been implicated in promoting VSMCs phenotypic switch. P22phox, the indispensable component of the complex Nox, is required for their activity and stability. Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is an important transcriptional regulator of VSMCs phenotypic switch. Both KLF4 and p22phox are involved in the proliferation, migration and differentiation of VSMC. This study aims to determine whether and how p22phox regulates KLF4 expression in phenotypic switching of VSMCs. In cultured primary rat VSMCs, we noticed that the expression of P22phox was significantly increased in combination with VSMCs phenotypic switch and up-regulated KLF4 expression in Ang-II-treated cells. Ang-II-induced VSMC dedifferentiation, proliferation, migration, KLF4 expression, H2O2 production and the phosphorylation of AKT, ERK1/2 were all inhibited by knockdown of P22phox. Furthermore, H2O2 treatment effectively enhanced the phosphorylation of AKT, ERK1/2 and the expression of KLF4, whereas LY294002 (a specific inhibitor of PI3K), U0126 (a specific inhibitor of ERK1/2) significantly attenuated the H2O2-induced up-regulation of KLF4. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that p22phox promotes Ang-II-induced VSMC phenotypic switch via the H2O2-ERK1/2/AKT-KLF4 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Background Enhancing the chemosensitivity in the patients with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) resistant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is pivotal in achieving their successful therapeutic outcome. We aimed to explore the mechanisms regarding the development of therapeutic resistance to chemotherapy in EGFR-TKI resistant LUAD. Methods: Microarray analysis lead to potential involvement of p22phox, which was abundantly expressed in the cell lines harboring EGFR-TKI resistance and chemoresistance, and was known to regulate several important chemoresistance-associated factors such as hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We compared the status of p22phox with that of chemoresistance, HIF-1α expression and EMT in LUAD cell lines. We immunolocalized p22phox in the specimens of lung cancer patients. Results p22phox and HIF-1α mRNAs were significantly elevated in the cells harboring EMT and chemoresistance. p22phox knockdown enhanced chemosensitivity and reduced the expression of HIF-1α and EMT-associated factors. HIF-1α knockdown enhanced the chemosensitivity, while HIF-1α transfection induced EMT and chemoresistance in these cell lines. All LUAD patients with T790M mutation were associated with abundant p22phox immunoreactivity in carcinoma cells. Conclusions The analysis of p22phox in lung carcinoma tissues could provide new insights into the selection of chemotherapy for the patients with EGFR-TKI resistant LUAD.

Abstract
Neutrophils serve as the circulating cells that respond early and figure prominently in human host defense to infection and in inflammation in other settings. Optimal oxidant-dependent antimicrobial activity by neutrophils relies on the ability of stimulated phagocytes to utilize a multicomponent NADPH oxidase to generate oxidants. The frequent, severe, and often fatal infections experienced by individuals with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), an inherited disorder in which one of the NADPH oxidase components is absent or dysfunctional, underscore the link between a functional phagocyte NADPH oxidase and robust host protection against microbial infection.The history of the discovery and characterization of the normal neutrophil NADPH oxidase and the saga of recognizing CGD and its underlying causes together illustrate how the observations of astute clinicians and imaginative basic scientists synergize to forge new understanding of both basic cell biology and pathogenesis of human disease.In this chapter, we review the events in the stepwise evolution of our understanding of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase, both in the context of normal human neutrophil function and in the setting of CGD. The phagocyte oxidase complex employs a heterodimeric transmembrane protein composed of gp91phox and p22phox to relay electrons from NADPH to molecular oxygen, while other cofactors contribute to localization and regulation of the activity of the assembled oxidase. The b-type cytochrome gp91phox, also known as NOX2, serves as the catalytic component of this multicomponent enzyme complex. Although many of the features of the composition and regulation of the phagocyte oxidase may apply as well to NOX2 expressed in non-phagocytes and to other members of the NOX protein family, exceptions exist and pose special challenges to investigators exploring the biology of NADPH oxidases.

Abstract
NOX family NADPH oxidases deliberately produce reactive oxygen species and thus contribute to a variety of biological functions. Of seven members in the human family, the three oxidases NOX2, NOX1, and NOX3 form a heterodimer with p22phox and are regulated by soluble regulatory proteins: p47phox, its related organizer NOXO1; p67phox, its related activator NOXA1; p40phox; and the small GTPase Rac. Activation of the phagocyte oxidase NOX2 requires p47phox, p67phox, and GTP-bound Rac. In addition to these regulators, p40phox plays a crucial role when NOX2 is activated during phagocytosis. On the other hand, NOX1 activation prefers NOXO1 and NOXA1, although Rac is also involved. NOX3 constitutively produces superoxide, which is enhanced by regulatory proteins such as p47phox, NOXO1, and p67phox. Here we describe mechanisms for NOX activation with special attention to the soluble regulatory proteins.

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
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
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical redox regulators of cellular dynamics controlling homeostasis. Although numerous fluorescent probes are currently available to measure ROS in cell-based assays, the short-lived nature of these molecules renders their detection challenging in more complex biological systems, such as the gastrointestinal tract in vivo. However, in the past decade, significant progress has been made in the development of novel imaging technologies and probes, facilitating ROS quantification with high sensitivity, selectivity, and temporal resolution. The IVIS Spectrum (PerkinElmer) is an optical imaging system for small animal imaging allowing precise and noninvasive visualization of fluorescent or bioluminescent signals. Here, we describe a reproducible and comprehensive method for the measurement of physiological intestinal NADPH oxidase-derived ROS by using the chemiluminescent probe L-012. Using transgenic mice deficient in Nox isoforms expressed in the intestinal mucosa, we delineate the contribution of gut epithelial versus immune cell NADPH oxidase activity in homeostatic conditions. We also discuss L-012 probe specificity and potential alternatives for in vivo studies.

Abstract
AIMS Hypoxia and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH), a potentially fatal disorder characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling, elevated pulmonary arterial pressure, and right ventricular hypertrophy. However, how they are linked in the context of PH is not completely understood. We, therefore, investigated the role of the NADPH oxidase subunit p22phox in the response to hypoxia both in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS We found that hypoxia decreased ubiquitinylation and proteasomal degradation of p22phox dependent on prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) and the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein von Hippel Lindau (pVHL), which resulted in p22phox stabilization and accumulation. p22phox promoted vascular proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis under normoxia and hypoxia. Increased levels of p22phox were also detected in lungs and hearts from mice with hypoxia-induced PH. Mice harboring a point mutation (Y121H) in the p22phox gene, which resulted in decreased p22phox stability and subsequent loss of this protein, were protected against hypoxia-induced PH. Mechanistically, p22phox contributed to ROS generation under normoxia, hypoxia, and hypoxia/reoxygenation. p22phox increased the levels and activity of HIF1α, the major cellular regulator of hypoxia adaptation, under normoxia and hypoxia, possibly by decreasing the levels of the PHD cofactors ascorbate and iron(II), and it contributed to the downregulation of the tumor suppressor miR-140 by hypoxia. INNOVATION These data identify p22phox as an important regulator of the hypoxia response both in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION p22phox-dependent NADPH oxidases contribute to the pathophysiology of PH induced by hypoxia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases have been associated with stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and accumulation of unfolded proteins leading to the unfolded protein response (UPR). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide and H2O2 derived from NADPH oxidases have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. ROS have also been associated with ER stress. The role NADPH oxidases in the UPR is, however, not completely resolved yet. AIM In this study, we investigated the role of p22phox, an essential component of most NADPH oxidases, in the UPR of endothelial cells. RESULTS Induction of ER stress increased p22phox expression at the transcriptional level. p22phox was identified as novel target of the UPR transcription factor ATF4 (activator of transcription factor 4) under ER stress conditions by promoter analyses and ChIP. Depletion of ATF4 and p22phox diminished the levels of superoxide and H2O2 under ER stress conditions. On the contrary, p22phox was instrumental in increasing eIF2α phosphorylation and subsequent ATF4 expression on induction of ER stress by chemicals, oxysterols, or severe hypoxia in vitro and in vivo, leading to increased expression of CHOP and activation of effector caspases. INNOVATION p22phox is a novel target of ATF4 in response to ER stress, which can promote the PERK-ATF4 branch of the UPR in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION p22phox-dependent NADPH oxidases are important mediators of ER stress driving the UPR.

Abstract
Neutrophils are key cells of innate immunity and during inflammation. Upon activation, they produce large amounts of superoxide anion (O2 -. ) and ensuing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill phagocytized microbes. The enzyme responsible for O2 -. production is called the phagocyte NADPH oxidase. This is a multicomponent enzyme system that becomes active after assembly of four cytosolic proteins (p47phox , p67phox , p40phox and Rac2) with the transmembrane proteins (p22phox and gp91phox , which form the cytochrome b558 ). gp91phox represents the catalytic subunit of the NADPH oxidase and is also called NOX2. NADPH oxidase-derived ROS are essential for microbial killing and innate immunity; however, excessive ROS production induces tissue injury and prolonged inflammatory reactions that contribute to inflammatory diseases. Thus, NADPH oxidase activation must be tightly regulated in time and space to limit ROS production. NADPH oxidase activation is regulated by several processes such as phosphorylation of its components, exchange of GDP/GTP on Rac2 and binding of p47phox and p40phox to phospholipids. This review aims to provide new insights into the role of the phosphorylation of the NADPH oxidase components, that is gp91phox , p22phox , p47phox , p67phox and p40phox , in the activation of this enzyme.

Abstract
Metastasis is the leading cause of death in cancer patients, and successful colonisation of a secondary organ by circulating tumour cells (CTCs) is the rate‐limiting step of this process. We used tail‐vein injection of B16‐F10 melanoma cells into mice to mimic the presence of CTCs and to allow for the assessment of host (microenvironmental) factors that regulate pulmonary metastatic colonisation. We found that mice deficient for the individual subunits of the NADPH oxidase of myeloid cells, NOX2 (encoded by Cyba, Cybb, Ncf1, Ncf2, and Ncf4), all showed decreased pulmonary metastatic colonisation. To understand the role of NOX2 in controlling tumour cell survival in the pulmonary microenvironment, we focused on Cyba‐deficient (Cybatm1a) mice, which showed the most significant decrease in metastatic colonisation. Interestingly, histological assessment of pulmonary metastatic colonisation was not possible in Cybatm1a mice, owing to the presence of large granulomas composed of galectin‐3 (Mac‐2)‐positive macrophages and eosinophilic deposits; granulomas of variable penetrance and severity were also found in Cybatm1a mice that were not injected with melanoma cells, and these contributed to their decreased survival. The decreased pulmonary metastatic colonisation of Cybatm1a mice was not due to any overt defects in vascular permeability, and bone marrow chimaeras confirmed a role for the haematological system in the reduced metastatic colonisation phenotype. Examination of the lymphocyte populations, which are known key regulators of metastatic colonisation, revealed an enhanced proportion of activated T and natural killer cells in the lungs of Cybatm1a mice, relative to controls. The reduced metastatic colonisation, presence of granulomas and altered immune cell populations observed in Cybatm1a lungs were mirrored in Ncf2‐deficient (Ncf2tm1a) mice. Thus, we show that NOX2 deficiency results in both granulomas and the accumulation of antitumoural immune cells in the lungs that probably mediate the decreased pulmonary metastatic colonisation. © 2018 The Authors.

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.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia occurs during diabetes and insulin resistance. It causes oxidative stress by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, leading to cellular damage. Polyphenols play a central role in defense against oxidative stress. In our study, we investigated the antioxidant properties of simmondsin, a pure molecule present in jojoba seeds, and of the aqueous extract of jojoba seeds on fructose-induced oxidative stress in RINm5f beta cells. The exposure of RINm5f beta cells to fructose triggered the loss of cell viability (-48%, p < 0.001) and disruption of insulin secretion (p < 0.001) associated with of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and a modulation of pro-oxidant and antioxidant signaling pathway. Cell pre-treatments with extracts considerably increased cell viability (+86% p < 0.001) for simmondsin and +74% (p < 0.001) for aqueous extract and insulin secretion. The extracts also markedly decreased ROS (-69% (p < 0.001) for simmondsin and -59% (p < 0.001) for aqueous extract) and caspase-3 activation and improved antioxidant defense, inhibiting p22phox and increasing nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) levels (+70%, p < 0.001) for aqueous extract. Simmondsin had no impact on Nrf2 levels. The richness and diversity of molecules present in jojoba seed extract makes jojoba a powerful agent to prevent the destruction of RINm5f beta cells induced by hyperglycemia.

Abstract
AIM Chronic airway diseases such as asthma are associated with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress. Endogenous NADPH oxidases are a major source of superoxide in lung, but their underlying role in asthma pathology is poorly understood. We sought to characterize the involvement of NADPH oxidase in allergic asthma by studying the role of CYBA (p22phox) in human asthma and murine house dust mite (HDM)-induced allergic airway inflammation. RESULTS Increased expression and localization of p22-PHOX were observed in biopsies of asthmatic patients. HDM-treated wild-type mice possessed elevated p22phox expression, corresponding with elevated superoxide production. p22phox knockout (KO) mice did not induce superoxide and were protected against HDM-induced goblet cell hyperplasia and mucus production and HDM-induced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). IL-13-induced tracheal hyperreactivity and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)6 phosphorylation were attenuated in the absence of p22phox or catalase pretreatment. INNOVATION Our study identifies increased expression of p22phox in lungs of asthmatic patients and in experimental model. The induced AHR and mucus hypersecretion are a result of increased ROS from the p22phox-dependent NADPH oxidase, which in turn activates STAT6 for the pathological feature of asthma. CONCLUSIONS Together with the increased p22phox expression in lungs of asthmatic patients, these findings demonstrate a crucial role of p22phox-dependent NADPH oxidase for the development of mucus hypersecretion and AHR in HDM-induced model of asthma. This suggests that inhibition of functional NADPH oxidase by selective interference of p22phox might hold a promising therapeutic strategy for the management of asthma. Antioxid.

Abstract
The C242T polymorphism of CYBA (cytochrome B-245 alpha chain), the gene encoding the p22phox subunit of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, has been linked to several conditions in which oxidative stress plays a pathogenic role. We investigated in a cohort of 451 preterm infants [gestational age (GA) ≤30 weeks] the association of the polymorphism with the risk of developing neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), necrotizing enterocolitis, patent ductus arteriosus, or intraventricular hemorrhage. We observed a significant association of the TT/CT genotype with RDS [odds ratio (OR) 2.34, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.28-3.90], ROP (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.05-2.80), and BPD (OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.05-2.43). When this dominant model was adjusted to account for GA, birth weight, and sex, it remained significant for the three outcomes. This study is the first to address the association of a polymorphism related to the NADPH family with oxidative stress-related complications of prematurity. Since p22phox is essential for reactive oxygen species production by NADPH oxidase, we hypothesize that genetic variations in the protein may lead to differences in susceptibility to oxidative stress-induced damage in preterm infants.

Abstract
NADPH oxidases of the Nox family are important enzymatic sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cardiovascular system. Of the 7 members of the Nox family, at least three depend for their activation on specific cytosolic proteins. These are p47phox and its homologue NoxO1 and p67phox and its homologue NoxA1. Also the Rho-GTPase Rac is important but as this protein has many additional functions, it will not be covered here. The Nox1 enzyme is preferentially activated by the combination of NoxO1 with NoxA1, whereas Nox2 gains highest activity with p47phox together with p67phox. As p47phox, different to NoxO1 contains an auto inhibitory region it has to be phosphorylated prior to complex formation. In the cardio-vascular system, all cytosolic Nox proteins are expressed but the evidence for their contribution to ROS production is not well established. Most data have been collected for p47phox, whereas NoxA1 has basically not yet been studied. In this article the specific aspects of cytosolic Nox proteins in the cardiovascular system with respect to Nox activation, their expression and their importance will be reviewed. Finally, it will be discussed whether cytosolic Nox proteins are suitable pharmacological targets to tamper with vascular ROS production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously shown that p22phox confers resistance to cisplatin in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Whether p22phox has clinical correlation with cisplatin resistance and affects the efficacy of other platinum or nonplatinum drugs is unknown. METHODS The p22phox expression in tissues and apoptotic markers in cell lines was detected by immunoblotting. The cytotoxicity of chemotherapy drugs was determined by methylthiazol tetrazolium assay. In vivo chemoresistance of p22phox-overexpressing tumors was confirmed by the xenograft mouse model. RESULTS The p22phox was upregulated in tumors of patients with OSCC refractory to cisplatin treatment. The p22phox overexpression markedly increased the resistance to cisplatin and carboplatin, but not oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), in OSCC cells by differentially inhibiting the drug-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, p22phox-dependent resistance to cisplatin, but not 5-FU, was demonstrated in mouse xenograft tumors. CONCLUSION The p22phox expression may not only be a prognostic biomarker for prediction of chemotherapy outcomes, but the indication for alternative treatment strategies in oral cancer.

Abstract
The superoxide-producing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex of phagocytes (phox) plays a key role in production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by microglia. The catalytic subunits of the NADPH oxidase are composed of p22phox and gp91phox. Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by a loss-of-function mutation of either TYROBP (DAP12) or TREM2. Pathologically, the brains of NHD patients exhibit extensive demyelination designated leukoencephalopathy, astrogliosis, accumulation of axonal spheroids, and remarkable activation of microglia predominantly in the white matter of frontal and temporal lobes. However, a pathological role of the gp91phox-p22phox complex in generation of leukoencephalopathy in NHD remains unknown. We clarified the expression of gp91phox and p22phox in the white matter of the frontal cortex derived from five NHD and eight control subjects. We identified the expression of p22phox and gp91phox immunoreactivity almost exclusively on microglia. Microglia overexpressed gp91phox in NHD brains and p22phox in myotonic dystrophy (MD) brains, when compared with non-neurological control (NC) brains. These results suggest that the enhanced expression of gp91phox by microglia might contribute to overproduction of ROS highly toxic to myelinating oligodendrocytes, resulting in oligodendrocyte cell death that induces leukoencephalopathy in NHD brains.

Abstract
Sepsis is a clinical syndrome that complicates severe infection and is characterized by the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), is a life threatening disease characterized by inflammation of the entire body. Upon microbial infection, p22phox-gp91phox NADPH oxidase (NOX) complexes produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are critical for the elimination of invading microbes. However, excess production of ROS represents a key element in the cascade of deleterious processes in sepsis. We have previously reported direct crosstalk between autophagy and phagocytosis machineries by demonstrating that the Rubicon protein interacts with p22phox upon microbial infection, facilitating phagosomal trafficking of the p22phox-gp91phox NOX complex to induce a ROS burst, inflammatory cytokine production, and thereby, potent anti-microbial activities. Here, we showed N8 peptide, an N-terminal 8-amino acid peptide derived from p22phox, was sufficient for Rubicon interaction and thus, capable of robustly blocking the Rubicon-p22phox interaction and profoundly suppressing ROS and inflammatory cytokine production. Consequently, treatment with the Tat-N8 peptide or a N8 peptide-mimetic small-molecule dramatically reduced the mortality associated with Cecal-Ligation-and-Puncture-induced polymicrobial sepsis in mice. This study demonstrates a new anti-sepsis therapeutic strategy by blocking the crosstalk between autophagy and phagocytosis innate immunity machineries, representing a potential paradigm shift for urgently needed therapeutic intervention against this life-threatening SIRS.

Abstract
P22(phox) is a ubiquitous protein encoded by the CYBA gene located on the long arm of chromosome 16 at position 24, containing six exons and spanning 8.5 kb. P22(phox) is a critical component of the superoxide-generating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases (NOXs). It is associated with NOX2 to form cytochrome b558 expressed mainly in phagocytes and responsible for the killing of microorganisms when bacterial and fungal infections occur. CYBA mutations lead to one of the autosomal recessive forms of chronic granulomatous disease (AR22(0)CGD) clinically characterized by recurrent and severe infections in early childhood. However, p22(phox) is also the partner of NOX1, NOX3 and NOX4, but not NOX5, which are analogs of NOX2, the first identified member of the NOX family. P22(phox)-NOX complexes have emerged as one of the most relevant sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tissues and cells, and are associated with several diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The p22(phox)-deficient mouse strain nmf333 has made it possible to highlight the role of p22(phox) in the control of inner ear balance in association with NOX3. However, the relevance of p22(phox) for NOX3 function remains uncertain because AR22(0)CGD patients do not suffer from vestibular dysfunction. Finally, a large number of genetic variations of CYBA have been reported, among them the C242T polymorphism, which has been extensively studied in association with coronary artery and heart diseases, but conflicting results continue to be reported.

Abstract
Intracellular swelling of conidia of the major human airborne fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus results in surface exposure of immunostimulatory pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and triggers activation of a specialized autophagy pathway called LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) to promote fungal killing. We have recently discovered that, apart from PAMPs exposure, cell wall melanin removal during germination of A. fumigatus is a prerequisite for activation of LAP. Importantly, melanin promotes fungal pathogenicity via targeting LAP, as a melanin-deficient A. fumigatus mutant restores its virulence upon conditional inactivation of Atg5 in hematopoietic cells of mice. Mechanistically, fungal cell wall melanin selectively excludes the CYBA/p22phox subunit of NADPH oxidase from the phagosome to inhibit LAP, without interfering with signaling regulating cytokine responses. Notably, inhibition of LAP is a general property of melanin pigments, a finding with broad physiological implications.

Abstract
Background Oxidative stress induced by superoxide anion plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) and hence acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The major source of superoxide production in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells is the NADPH oxidase complex. An essential component of this complex is p22phox, that is encoded by the cytochrome b-245, alpha polypeptide (CYBA) gene. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of CYBA variants (rs1049255 and rs4673) and premature acute myocardial infarction risk in an Iranian population. Methods The study population consisted of 158 patients under the age of 50 years, with a diagnosis of premature AMI, and 168 age-matched controls with normal coronary angiograms. Genotyping of the polymorphisms was performed by the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results There was no association between the genotypes and allele frequencies of rs4673 polymorphism and premature acute myocardial infarction (P>0.05). A significant statistical association was observed between the genotypes distribution of rs1049255 polymorphism and AMI risk (P=0.037). Furthermore, the distribution of AA+AG/GG genotypes was found to be statistically significant between the two groups (P=0.011). Conclusions Our findings indicated that rs1049255 but not rs4673 polymorphism is associated with premature AMI.

Abstract
The C242T polymorphism of the CYBA gene that encodes p22phox, a component of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, has been found to modulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Oxidative stress is thought to play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is manifested as increased availability of ROS because of an imbalanced redox state. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate potential associations of the p22phox C242T polymorphism with the risk of late-onset AD (LOAD) in a northern Han Chinese population. Patients with LOAD (n = 276) and 320 control subjects were recruited for the study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to detect the genotypes. No significant differences were found between LOAD and p22phox C242T polymorphism, but a significant association was obtained in the genotype and allele distributions of p22phox C242T between LOAD patients and controls in apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ϵ4 carriers. These results suggested that p22phox C242T polymorphism has a possible role in changing the genetic susceptibility to LOAD in ApoE ϵ4 carriers of this northern Han Chinese population.

Abstract
Regulated production of ROS is mainly attributed to Nox family enzymes. In neutrophil granulocytes and macrophages, Nox2 has a crucial role in bacterial killing, and the absence of phagocytic ROS production leads to the development of CGD. Expression of Nox2 was also described in B lymphocytes, where the role of the enzyme is still poorly understood. Here, we show that peritoneal B cells, which were shown recently to possess phagocytic activity, have a high capacity to produce ROS in a Nox2-dependent manner. In phagocytosing B cells, intense intraphagosomal ROS production is detected. Finally, by studying 2 animal models of CGD, we demonstrate that phagocyte oxidase-deficient B cells have a reduced capacity to kill bacteria. Our observations extend the number of immune cell types that produce ROS to kill pathogens.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited orphan disorder caused by mutations in one of the five genes encoding reduced nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-phosphate oxidase subunits, which subsequently lead to impairment in the production of microbicidal reactive oxygen species (ROS). In order to offer several cell line models of CGD and therefore support research on pathophysiology and new therapeutic approaches, we optimized protocols to differentiate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from wild-type, X0-, AR220- and AR470-CGD patient's fibroblasts into neutrophils and into macrophages. Aberrant genetic clones were discarded after chromosome karyotyping and array-comparative genomic hybridization analysis. All remaining iPSC lines showed human embryonic stem cell–like morphology, expressed all tested pluripotency markers and formed embryoid bodies that contained cells originating from all three primary germ layers. Furthermore, each CGD patient-specific iPSC line retained the gp91phox, p47phox, and p22phox mutations found in the corresponding patient's neutrophils. The average production of CD34+ progenitors was of 1.5×106 cells after 10 days of differentiation of 10×106 iPSCs. They were terminally differentiated into about 3×105 neutrophils or into 3×107 macrophages. Based on morphological, phenotypical, and functional criteria both phagocyte types were mature and indistinguishable from the native human neutrophils and macrophages. However, neutrophils and macrophages derived from X0-, AR220-, and AR470-CGD patient-specific iPSC lines lacked ROS production and the corresponding mutated proteins. To simplify the phagocytes' production upon request, progenitors can be cryopreserved. In conclusion, we describe a reproducible, simple, and efficient way to generate neutrophils and macrophages from iPSCs and provide a new cellular model for the AR220-CGD genetic form that has not been described before.

Abstract
NADPH oxidases of the Nox family are important enzymatic sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Numerous homologue-specific mechanisms control the activity of this enzyme family involving calcium, free fatty acids, protein-protein interactions, intracellular trafficking, and posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation, acetylation, or sumoylation. After a brief review on the classic pathways of Nox activation, this article will focus on novel mechanisms of homologue-specific activity control and on cell-specific aspects which govern Nox activity. From these findings of the recent years it must be concluded that the activity control of Nox enzymes is much more complex than anticipated. Moreover, depending on the cellular activity state, Nox enzymes are selectively activated or inactivated. The complex upstream signaling aspects of these events make the development of "intelligent" Nox inhibitors plausible, which selectively attenuate disease-related Nox-mediated ROS formation without altering physiological signaling ROS. This approach might be of relevance for Nox-mediated tissue injury in ischemia-reperfusion and inflammation and also for chronic Nox overactivation as present in cancer initiation and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Recent studies have identified that high glucose-induced renal tubular cell damage. We previously demonstrated that high glucose treatment induced oxidative stress in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs), and angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blockers reduce high glucose-induced oxidative stress in RPTEC possibly via blockade of intracellular as well as extracellular AT1 receptor. However, exact roles of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and AT1 receptor on high glucose-induced renal tubular function remain unclear. N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG), concentrations of TNF-α/angiotensin II and p22(phox) protein levels after high glucose treatment with or without AT1 receptor blocker or thalidomide, an inhibitor of TNF-α protein synthesis, were measured in immortalized human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK2 cells). AT1 receptor knockdown was performed with AT1 receptor small interfering RNA (siRNA). High glucose treatment (30 mM) significantly increased NAG release, TNF-α/angiotensin II concentrations in cell media and p22(phox) protein levels compared with those in regular glucose medium (5.6 mM). Candesartan, an AT1R blocker, showed a significant reduction on high glucose-induced NAG release, TNF-α concentrations and p22(phox) protein levels in HK2 cells. In addition, significant decreases of NAG release, TNF-α concentrations and p22(phox) protein levels in HK2 cells were observed in high glucose-treated group with thalidomide. AT1R knockdown with siRNA markedly reversed high glucose, angiotensin II or TNF-α-induced p22(phox) protein levels in HK2 cells. TNF-α may be involved in high glucose-induced renal tubular damage in HK2 cells possibly via AT1 receptor signaling.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is associated with vascular complication. We hypothesized that increased nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase subunit p22(phox) expression impairs vascular endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) in type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetic (db(-)/db(-)) and control (db(-)/db(+)) mice were treated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, polyethylene glycol superoxide dismutase (1,000 U/kg daily ip), or small interfering RNA p22(phox) (p22(phox)-lentivirus-small interfering RNA, 100 μg iv, 2 times/wk) for 1 mo. EDR was impaired in microvascular bed (coronary arteriole and femoral and mesenteric resistance arteries) from diabetic mice compared with control. Interestingly, ROS scavenger and p22(phox) downregulation did not affect blood glucose level or body weight but significantly improved EDR. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (ERK1/2 and p38) phosphorylation and NADPH oxidase activity were increased in arteries from diabetic mice and were reduced after ROS scavenger or p22(phox) downregulation in db(-)/db(-) mice. The present study showed that enhanced p22(phox) expression causes vascular dysfunction through ERK1/2 and p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent mechanisms in male type 2 diabetic mice. Therefore, p22(phox) could be an important target to improve vascular function in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, studies have focused on the association between the p22phox gene A640G polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the results are inconsistent. In this study, we aimed to further evaluate this association by using meta-analysis. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, CBM, CNKI, WanFang and Chongqing VIP databases were searched for relevant articles. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) of the distribution of genotypes was tested using Pearson's chi-squared test. Odds ratios (ORs) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association; Cochran's Q test and the I(2) statistic were used to evaluate heterogeneity. The random effects model and the fixed effects model were used according to heterogeneity; Begg's test and Egger's test were used to analyze publication bias. Sensitivity analysis was carried out to guarantee the stability of the results. Cumulative analysis was used to evaluate tendencies in the pooled OR. RESULTS A total of eight articles including 3904 CHD cases and 3498 controls were included. A significant association between the A640G polymorphism and CHD was observed in codominant model 2 (AG versus AA: OR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.77-0.96). In the subgroup analysis, a significant association was observed between the A640G polymorphism and CHD in Caucasians, and in PB (population-based), non-PB, HWE (studies followed HWE) and non-HWE studies. CONCLUSIONS Our results reveal that the A640G polymorphism may play a protective role in CHD.

Abstract
Activation of Rap1 GTPase can improve the integrity of the barrier of the retina pigment epithelium (RPE) and reduce choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Inhibition of NADPH oxidase activation also reduces CNV. We hypothesize that Rap1 inhibits NADPH oxidase-generated ROS and thereby reduces CNV formation. Using a murine model of laser-induced CNV, we determined that reduced Rap1 activity in RPE/choroid occurred with CNV formation and that activation of Rap1 by 2'-O-Me-cAMP (8CPT)-reduced laser-induced CNV via inhibiting NADPH oxidase-generated ROS. In RPE, inhibition of Rap1 by Rap1 GTPase-activating protein (Rap1GAP) increased ROS generation, whereas activation of Rap1 by 8CPT reduced ROS by interfering with the assembly of NADPH oxidase membrane subunit p22phox with NOX4 or cytoplasmic subunit p47phox. Activation of NADPH oxidase with Rap1GAP reduced RPE barrier integrity via cadherin phosphorylation and facilitated choroidal EC migration across the RPE monolayer. Rap1GAP-induced ROS generation was inhibited by active Rap1a, but not Rap1b, and activation of Rap1a by 8CPT in Rap1b(-/-) mice reduced laser-induced CNV, in correlation with decreased ROS generation in RPE/choroid. These findings provide evidence that active Rap1 reduces CNV by interfering with the assembly of NADPH oxidase subunits and increasing the integrity of the RPE barrier.

Abstract
Redox signaling contributes to the regulation of cancer cell proliferation, survival, and invasion and participates in the adaptation of cancer cells to their microenvironment. NADPH oxidases are important mediators of redox signaling in normal and cancer cells. Redox signal specificity in normal cells is in part achieved by targeting enzymes that generate reactive oxygen species to specific subcellular microdomains such as focal adhesions, dorsal ruffles, lipid rafts, or caveolae. In a similar fashion, redox signal specificity during cancer cell invasion can be regulated by targeting reactive oxygen generation to invasive microdomains such as invadopodia. Here we summarize recent advances in the understanding of the redox signaling processes that control the cancer cell proinvasive program by modulating cell adhesion, migration, and proteolysis as well as the interaction of cancer cells with the tumor microenvironment. We focus on redox signaling events mediated by invadopodia NADPH oxidase complexes and their contribution to cancer cell invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND NADPH oxidase is an important enzyme involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species in acute kidney injury (AKI). Its key subunit, p22(phox), is encoded by the highly polymorphic CYBA gene. METHODS We examined the associations of CYBA gene polymorphisms across the CYBA locus (rs8854, rs3794624, rs4673, rs4782390, and rs1049255) with dialysis requirement or in-hospital death in 256 hospitalized adults with AKI. Dominant and haplotype multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed, adjusted for sex, race, age, and severity of illness. RESULTS The baseline characteristics of the patients were not different among genotype groups with the exception of a lower prevalence of sepsis and shock in the CYBA rs8854 A-allele group; a higher prevalence of shock in the CYBA rs4782390 T-allele group, and a higher APACHE II score in the CYBA rs1049255 G-allele group. The CYBA rs8854 A-allele had an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 0.41 (95% confidence interval, CI, 0.18-0.96) for the outcome of dialysis requirement or in-hospital death. The CYBA rs4673 T-allele and rs1049255 G-allele had unadjusted ORs of 1.69 (95% CI 1.03-2.79) and 1.66 (95% CI 1.01-2.73) for the composite outcome, respectively, which became non-significant after multivariable adjustment. The remaining 2 polymorphisms were not associated with the outcomes of interest. Finally, the presence of the CYBA A-A-G-G haplotype (generated from rs4782390, rs4673, rs3794624, and rs8854, all in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium) was associated with an elevated OR of 1.81 (95% CI 1.07-3.08) for dialysis requirement or in-hospital death, which was attenuated after multivariable adjustment (OR 1.80; 95% CI 0.99-3.29). CONCLUSION This study identifies several polymorphisms spanning the entire CYBA gene locus and a common haplotype as risk markers for dialysis requirement or in-hospital death in patients with AKI. Additional studies are needed to validate these findings.
