t NADPH Oxidase Contributes Directly to Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Nerve Growth Factor-Deprived Sympathetic Neurons
2000
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are necessary for programmed cell death (PCD) in neurons, but the underlying ROS-producing enzymes have not been identified. NADPH oxidase produces ROS, although the expression of its five subunits are thought to be restricted largely to non-neuronal cells. Here, we show that NADPH oxidase subunits are present in neurons. Moreover, both an NADPH oxidase inhibitor, diphenyleneiodonium, and
