How mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species

MP Murphy - Biochemical journal, 2009 - portlandpress.com
The production of ROS (reactive oxygen species) by mammalian mitochondria is important
because it underlies oxidative damage in many pathologies and contributes to retrograde …

[PDF][PDF] Succinate dehydrogenase supports metabolic repurposing of mitochondria to drive inflammatory macrophages

…, M Szibor, RJ Xavier, T Braun, C Frezza, MP Murphy… - Cell, 2016 - cell.com
Activated macrophages undergo metabolic reprogramming, which drives their pro-inflammatory
phenotype, but the mechanistic basis for this remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate …

Selective targeting of an antioxidant to mitochondria

…, CM Porteous, CV Coulter, MP Murphy - European Journal of …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Mitochondrial oxidative damage contributes significantly to a range of human disorders,
including neurodegenerative diseases, ischaemia‐reperfusion injury and ageing‐associated …

Prevention of mitochondrial oxidative damage as a therapeutic strategy in diabetes

K Green, MD Brand, MP Murphy - Diabetes, 2004 - Am Diabetes Assoc
Hyperglycemia causes many of the pathological consequences of both type 1 and type 2
diabetes. Much of this damage is suggested to be a consequence of elevated production of …

Defining roles of specific reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cell biology and physiology

…, MJ Davies, DP Jones, GE Mann, MP Murphy… - … Reviews Molecular Cell …, 2022 - nature.com
‘Reactive oxygen species’ (ROS) is a generic term that defines a wide variety of oxidant
molecules with vastly different properties and biological functions that range from signalling to …

Ischaemic accumulation of succinate controls reperfusion injury through mitochondrial ROS

…, AJ Robinson, LM Work, C Frezza, T Krieg, MP Murphy - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Ischaemia-reperfusion injury occurs when the blood supply to an organ is disrupted and then
restored, and underlies many disorders, notably heart attack and stroke. While reperfusion …

A subset of NSAIDs lower amyloidogenic Aβ42 independently of cyclooxygenase activity

…, CU Pietrzik, KA Findlay, TE Smith, MP Murphy… - Nature, 2001 - nature.com
Epidemiological studies have documented a reduced prevalence of Alzheimer's disease
among users of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . It has been …

[HTML][HTML] Guidelines for measuring reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage in cells and in vivo

MP Murphy, H Bayir, V Belousov, CJ Chang… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Multiple roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their consequences for health and
disease are emerging throughout biological sciences. This development has led researchers …

Itaconate is an anti-inflammatory metabolite that activates Nrf2 via alkylation of KEAP1

…, AT Dinkova-Kostova, RC Hartley, MP Murphy… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The endogenous metabolite itaconate has recently emerged as a regulator of macrophage
function, but its precise mechanism of action remains poorly understood 1 , 2 , 3 . Here we …

Targeting antioxidants to mitochondria by conjugation to lipophilic cations

MP Murphy, RAJ Smith - Annu. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Mitochondrial oxidative damage contributes to a range of degenerative diseases. Consequently,
the selective inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative damage is a promising therapeutic …
