Tempol improves xanthine oxidoreductase-mediated vascular responses to nitrite in experimental renovascular hypertension

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2016
Upregulation of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) increases vascular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and contributes to nitroso-redox imbalance. However, XOR can generate nitric oxide (NO) from nitrite, and increased superoxide could inactivate NO ...

Reprogramming Native Cryptic Plasmids Enables Antibiotic‐Selection‐Free Urate Degradation by Escherichia coli Nissle 1917

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 11, November 2026.
Reprogramming native cryptic plasmids of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 enabled antibiotic‐selection‐free and oxygen‐adaptive urate degradation. The engineered strain reduced uric acid levels and alleviated hyperuricemia‐associated renal and inflammatory abnormalities in mice, supporting endogenous plasmid engineering as a strategy for live ...

Dose-dependent effects of Allopurinol on human foreskin fibroblast cell and human umbilical vein endothelial cell under hypoxia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Allopurinol, an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, has been used in clinical trials of patients with cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. These are two pathologies with extensive links to hypoxia and activation of the transcription factor hypoxia ...

Ultra‐Weak Photon Emission as a By‐Product of Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism: Mechanisms, Limits, and Implications

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 20, 27 October 2026.
Mitochondrial oxidative metabolism generates ROS. Downstream chemiexcitation triplet carbonyls, singlet oxygen; produces ultra‐weak photon emission (UPE). Energetic bounds restrict well‐coupled respiration to extremely weak, red/NIR‐biased emission. Stronger visible UPE indicates elevated oxidative flux, linking measured photon counts to redox state ...

Impact of mitochondria on nitrite metabolism in HL-1 cardiomyocytes

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
Apart from ATP synthesis mitochondria have many other functions, one being nitrite reductase activity. NO released from nitrite has been shown to protect the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury in a cGMP-dependent manner.

Xanthine oxidoreductase in cancer: more than a differentiation marker [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Human xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) catalyzes the last two steps of purine catabolism and is present in two interconvertible forms, which may utilize O2 or NAD(+) as electron acceptors.

One Hundred Years of Sulfido Ligand in the Molybdenum Cofactor: New Perspectives

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 19, 14 October 2026.
The terminal sulfido ligand in mononuclear molybdoenzymes has been appreciated for almost 125 years, with the characterization of Schardinger's enzyme in cow's milk, now known to be xanthine oxidase, that was isolated in 1902 in Vienna, Austria. The ligand is found in molybdoenzymes identified across all kingdoms of life.

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 1911-1924, October 2026.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Febuxostat, a novel xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitor, improves hypertension and endothelial dysfunction in spontaneously hypertensive rats [PDF]

open access: yesNaunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2016
Xanthine oxidase (XO) is an enzyme responsible for the production of uric acid. XO produces considerable amount of oxidative stress throughout the body. To date, however, its pathophysiologic role in hypertension and endothelial dysfunction still remains controversial.
