Article Abstract
The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) family enzymes are involved in several physiological functions. However, their roles in keratinocyte responses to UV radiation have not been clearly elucidated. This study shows that, among other NOX family members, UVB irradiation results in a biphasic activation of NOX1 that plays a critical role in defining keratinocyte fate through the modulation of the DNA damage response network. Indeed, suppression of both bursts of UVB-induced NOX1 activation by using a specific peptide inhibitor of NOX1 (InhNOX1) is associated with increased nucleotide excision repair efficiency and reduction of apoptosis, which is finally translated into decreased photocarcinogenesis. On the contrary, when only the second peak of UVB-induced NOX1 activation is blocked, both nucleotide excision repair efficiency and apoptosis are decreased. Our results show that inhibition of NOX1 activation could be a promising target for the prevention and treatment of UVB-induced skin cancer in nucleotide excision repair-proficient and -deficient patients.

NOX1 and NPY1R mark regional colon stem cell populations that serve as cancer origins in vivo.

Current colorectal cancer mouse models either lack colon specificity, limiting progression towards more advanced disease, or preclude evaluation of resident stem cells as cancer origins. Here we report the identification of NOX1 and NPY1R as cell-surface markers enriched in LGR5 stem cells predominantly within the caecum and exclusively within the middle and distal colorectum, respectively. Selective dysregulation of Wnt signalling in NOX1 or NPY1R stem cells using CreERT2 mouse lines drives colon cancer initiation, predominantly within the caecum and rectum respectively, establishing these stem cell populations as important sources of colon cancer.

In cardiometabolic syndrome the development of cardiovascular disease is linked with an increase in systemic oxidative stress. The formation of free radical species leads to the oxidative modification of lipids, including phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs), which have been implicated in the progression of cardiovascular diseases in humans. We found that reducing plasma levels of OxPCs in mice by AAV-mediated hepatic expression of an OxPC-targeting antibody fragment (scFv-E06), resulted in significant transcriptional changes in the heart, particularly affecting genes involved in metabolism, redox processes, and fibrosis.

Background: Glycation stress has been implicated in frozen shoulder, potentially inducing oxidative stress through advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptor (RAGE). As the role of oxidative stress in frozen shoulder remains undetermined, this study examined the expression of related genes: NOX, SOD, and PRDX.
Methods: Thirty-eight participants 35 to 70 years old (23 men and 15 women; all ethnic Japanese) were included; 16 had frozen shoulder, and 22 had a rotator cuff tear without range-of-motion limitations.
Inhibition of ALOX5-dependent ferroptosis by 6-C-methylquercetin: a potential therapeutic approach for alleviating rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease, requires novel therapeutic targets. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, is closely linked to RA pathogenesis through its mediation of inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation. ALOX5, a member of the lipoxygenase family, is an important regulator of ferroptosis.

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signalling has become an attractive therapeutic target due to its pro-tumorigenic actions on epithelial cells and its immunosuppressive effects in the tumour microenvironment. In intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), a highly aggressive malignancy of the biliary tract with poor prognosis, the latest clinical trials using TGF-β inhibitors have failed indicating that the specific actions carried out by TGF-β in iCCA are yet not well delineated. Here, we show that TGF-β signalling is highly active in iCCA and exerts a prominent suppressor effect on tumour cell lines and organoids established from iCCA metastases biopsies, that relies on a functional canonical SMAD2/3/4 signalling.
