Research Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we focused on the ROS-producing enzyme Nox4 expressed in endothelial cells. While the expression of Nox4 was suppressed under normal conditions, it was highly induced in micro-vessels in ischemic tissues, reinforced hypoxic responses, and increased the production of angiogenic and inflammatory molecules. The physiological role of Nox4 may be angiogenesis; however, the angiogenic responses induced by rapid induction of Nox4 may rather worsen the disease state under particular conditions, such as brain ischemia.
