A Zero-Valent Sulfur Transporter Helps Podophyllotoxin Uptake into Bacterial Cells in the Presence of CTAB

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
Podophyllotoxin (PTOX) is naturally produced by the plant Podophyllum species. Some of its derivatives are anticancer drugs, which are produced mainly by using chemical semi-synthesis methods.

Redox signaling regulated by electrophiles and reactive sulfur species. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Clin Biochem Nutr, 2016
Redox signaling is a key modulator of oxidative stress induced by nonspecific insults of biological molecules generated by reactive oxygen species. Current redox biology is revisiting the traditional concept of oxidative stress, such that toxic effects of reactive oxygen species are protected by diverse antioxidant systems upregulated by oxidative ...

Gut microbiota reinforce host antioxidant capacity via the generation of reactive sulfur species

open access: yesCell Reports, 2022
Summary: Gut microbiota act beyond the gastrointestinal tract to regulate the physiology of the host. However, their contribution to the antioxidant capacity of the host remains largely understudied.

Reaction Mechanisms of H2S Oxidation by Naphthoquinones

open access: yesAntioxidants
1,4-naphthoquinones (NQs) catalytically oxidize H2S to per- and polysufides and sulfoxides, reduce oxygen to superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, and can form NQ-SH adducts through Michael addition.

Reactive Species-Activatable AIEgens for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesBiosensors, 2022
Precision medicine requires highly sensitive and specific diagnostic strategies with high spatiotemporal resolution. Accurate detection and monitoring of endogenously generated biomarkers at the very early disease stage is of extensive importance for ...

Rhodanese Rdl2 produces reactive sulfur species to protect mitochondria from reactive oxygen species

open access: yesFree Radical Biology and Medicine, 2021
Mitochondria damage is related to a broad spectrum of pathologies including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and carcinogenesis. Recently, it has been found that reactive sulfur species (RSS) has a close connection with mitochondrial health.

Catalase as a sulfide-sulfur oxido-reductase: An ancient (and modern?) regulator of reactive sulfur species (RSS)

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2017
Catalase is well-known as an antioxidant dismutating H2O2 to O2 and H2O. However, catalases evolved when metabolism was largely sulfur-based, long before O2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) became abundant, suggesting catalase metabolizes reactive ...

Metabolic Reprogramming of Sulfur in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Sulfane Sulfur-Triggered Anti-Cancer Strategy

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Metabolic reprogramming is a cancer hallmark. Although the reprogramming of central carbon has been well documented, the role of sulfur metabolism has been largely overlooked.

The Reactive Species Interactome in Red Blood Cells: Oxidants, Antioxidants, and Molecular Targets

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2023
Beyond their established role as oxygen carriers, red blood cells have recently been found to contribute to systemic NO and sulfide metabolism and act as potent circulating antioxidant cells. Emerging evidence indicates that reactive species derived from

The therapeutic opportunities and pitfalls of using iron ion chelators to treat neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Although too much iron in the brain promotes neurodegeneration, iron ion chelators have had mixed effects in clinical trials. This review explains why; some chelators do not render the iron redox‐inactive (e.g., L1) whereas others do (e.g., desferrioxamine).
