Corroborating recent studies that showed heme as an inductor of ROS generation via NADPHox in neutrophils, macrophages and in VSMC [7,8,19], the pretreatment of cells with DPI (10 mM), a NADPHox inhibitor [20], prevented heme-induced ROS production in A7r5 VSMC (Fig. 2A). PubMed:22954673
Moreover, DPI strongly inhibited heme-induced VSMC migration (Fig. 2B) and blunted the proliferative capability of heme-treated VSMC that reached levels below the controls. (Fig. 2C), indicating that heme effects on VSMC migration and proliferation are modulated by NADPHox. PubMed:22954673
