Enzymes synthesizing reactive oxygen (Nox family) have recently been identified. Elucidation of the production mechanism has been initiated, and the involvement of reactive oxygen in metabolism, intracellular transport, signal transmission and apoptosis has been reported. We immunohistochemically investigated expression and localization of the Nox family in endochondral ossification using a normal mouse femur. Weakly positive reactions with Nox1, Noxa1, and Noxo1 were observed in the zones of proliferative and prehypertrophic chondrocytes at 3 weeks of age. Nox4 was widely positive from the resting over the hypertrophic cell zone. At 18 weeks of age, none of the Nox types was expressed in chondrocytes as the zones disappeared. On the other hand, positive reactions with Nox1, Noxa1, Noxo1, and Nox4 were observed in osteoblasts in the zone of ossification at 3 weeks of age, and each Nox was also positive in osteoblasts arranged on the bone marrow side in the epiphyseal cartilage at 18 weeks of age. In addition, a reactive oxygen-eliminating enzyme, Mn-SOD, was observed only in prehypertrophic chondrocytes at 3 weeks of age, and not detected in osteoblasts. It was suggested that the Nox family is closely associated with endochondral ossification of the mouse femur, and Nox1 and Nox4 are closely involved in the chondrocyte maturation process and bone matrix formation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009247 NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6.

D000074624 NADPH Oxidase 1 An NADPH oxidase that functions as a voltage-gated proton channel expressed by PHAGOCYTES, especially in the colon. It regulates intracellular pH, generates SUPEROXIDES upon activation by PHAGOCYTOSIS, and may play a role in INNATE IMMUNITY. Mitogenic Oxidase 1,NOX1 Protein,Oxidase 1, Mitogenic,Oxidase 1, NADPH
D000074663 NADPH Oxidase 4 An NADPH oxidase that is strongly expressed in the kidney. It forms a complex with CYBA-P22PHOX and produces intracellular SUPEROXIDES that may regulate cellular signaling in APOPTOSIS; BONE RESORPTION; and NF-KAPPA B activation.
