Gene Information

Application

Diphenyleneiodonium chloride has been used as an NOX inhibitor:
  • to study its effects on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and also its inhibitory effects on killing tumor cells by neutrophils isolated from clinical malignant pleural effusion (MPE) samples
  • as a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor to confirm the variation in inflammation was secondary to overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells treated with doxorubicin (DOX) + flagellin (FL)
  • as an NADPH oxidase (NOX) inhibitor to study its effects on palmitate (PA)-induced sphere-forming ability of HepG2 (hepatocellular carcinoma) cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

A potent and reversible inhibitor of nitric oxide synthetase from macrophages and endothelial cells. Also inhibits other flavoenzymes such as neutrophil NADPH oxidase.
A potent reversible nitric oxide synthetase inhibitor from macrophages and endothelial cells.
Diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) can affect mitochondrial function. DPI can block neuron degeneration in Parkinson′s disease. It provides neuroprotection following focal cerebral ischemia. DPI can induce a chemo-quiescence phenotype in cancer stem-like cells, effectively inhibiting their proliferation.

Neutrophils use different mechanisms to cope with pathogens that invade the host organism. The most intriguing of these responses is a release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) composed of decondensed chromatin and granular proteins with antimicrobial activity. An important potential

Relapse-prone, poor prognosis neuroblastoma is frequently characterized by deletion of chr1p36 where tumor suppressor gene KIF1Bβ resides. Interestingly, many 1p36-positive patients failed to express KIF1Bβ protein. Since altered cellular redox status has been reported to be involved in cell death

The mitochondrial enriched GCN5-like 1 (GCN5L1) protein has been shown to modulate mitochondrial protein acetylation, mitochondrial content and mitochondrial retrograde signaling. Here we show that hepatic GCN5L1 ablation reduces fasting glucose levels and blunts hepatic gluconeogenesis without affecting systemic glucose
