Sappanwood extract modulates hepatic structure–function in hepatomegaly and hepcidin related iron regulatory pathways in a phenylhydrazine induced hemolytic anemia rat model relevant to thalassemia

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) induces hemolytic anemia characterized by increased erythrocyte destruction and ineffective erythropoiesis, leading to hepcidin suppression through disruption of the BMP/SMAD signaling pathway. Reduced hepcidin levels enhance intestinal iron absorption and hepatic iron accumulation, leading to hepatic iron overload.

Human AlkB homologue 5 is a nuclear 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenase and a direct target of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α).

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Human 2-oxoglutarate oxygenases catalyse a range of biological oxidations including the demethylation of histone and nucleic acid substrates and the hydroxylation of proteins and small molecules.

Oxidative stress markers induced by hyperosmolarity in primary human corneal epithelial cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Oxidative stress has been known to be involved in pathogenesis of dry eye disease. However, few studies have comprehensively investigated the relationship between hyperosmolarity and oxidative damage in human ocular surface.

A modified D‐galactose‐induced aging rat model with low‐dose intraperitoneal ozone: Redox, functional, and skin outcomes

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Male Wistar rats were subjected to d‐galactose‐induced aging, with or without intermittent low‐dose intraperitoneal ozone administration, and evaluated over 8 weeks for redox status and physical performance, including physical health score, morbidity proportion, body weight, muscle strength, hair regrowth, and skin outcome.

Catalytic Mechanisms of Fe(II)- and 2-Oxoglutarate-dependent Oxygenases*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Mononuclear non-heme Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenases comprise a large family of enzymes that utilize an Fe(IV)-oxo intermediate to initiate diverse oxidative transformations with important biological roles.

Heme Oxygenase and Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesArteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2005
Overproduction of reactive oxygen species under pathophysiological conditions, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, is integral in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The reactive oxygen species released from all types of vascular cells regulate various signaling pathways that mediate not only vascular inflammation

Complementary Steric Engineering at the Protein–Ligand Interface for Analogue-Sensitive TET Oxygenases

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2018
Ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes employ O2, earth-abundant iron, and 2-ketoglutarate (2KG) to perform iterative C–H oxidation of 5-methylcytosine in DNA to control expression of the mammalian genome.

Mechanism of O2 Activation by α-Ketoglutarate Dependent Oxygenases Revisited. A Quantum Chemical Study.

open access: yesJournal of Physical Chemistry A, 2016
Four mechanisms previously proposed for dioxygen activation catalyzed by α-keto acid dependent oxygenases (α-KAO) were studied with dispersion-corrected DFT methods employing B3LYP and TPSSh functionals in combination with triple-ζ basis set (cc-pVTZ ...

Distribution and diversity of enzymes for polysaccharide degradation in fungi

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Fungi are important polysaccharide degraders in the environment and for biotechnology. Here, the increasing number of sequenced fungal genomes allowed for systematic identification of genes and proteins involved in polysaccharide degradation in 218 fungi.

The non-canonical functions of the heme oxygenases

open access: yesOncoTarget, 2016
Heme oxygenase (HO) isoforms catalyze the conversion of heme to carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin with a concurrent release of iron, which can drive the synthesis of ferritin for iron sequestration.
