Hydrogen Peroxide Mediates the Cell Growth and Transformation Caused by the Mitogenic Oxidase Nox1
Nox1, a homologue of gp91phox, the catalytic moiety of the superoxide (O2-)-generating NADPH oxidase of phagocytes, causes increased O2- generation, increased mitotic rate, cell transformation, and tumorigenicity when expressed in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. This study explores the role of reactive oxygen...

Zusammenfassung: | Nox1, a homologue of gp91phox, the catalytic moiety of the superoxide (O2-)-generating NADPH oxidase of phagocytes, causes increased O2- generation, increased mitotic rate, cell transformation, and tumorigenicity when expressed in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. This study explores the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in regulating cell growth and transformation by Nox1. H2O2 concentration increased ≈10-fold in Nox1-expressing cells, compared with |
