Oxidative nucleotide damage and superoxide dismutase expression in the brains of xeroderma pigmentosum group A and Cockayne syndrome.
Brain Dev. 2005 Jan;27(1):34-8. Hayashi M¹, Araki S, Kohyama J, Shioda K, Fukatsu R. Abstract Xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) and Cockayne syndrome (CS) are caused by a genetic defect of nucleotide excision repair mechanisms, showing cutaneous hypersensitivity to sunlight and progressive neurological disturbances. The cause of neurological abnormalities has yet to be clarified and […]

Oxidative stress in developmental brain disorders.
Neuropathology. 2009 Feb;29(1):1-8. Hayashi M¹. ¹Department of Clinical Neuropathology, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Neuroscience, Tokyo, Japan. Abstract Oxidative stress is one of the predisposing factors in adult neurological disorders. We have examined the involvement of oxidative stress in child-onset neurodegenerative disorders, and here we review the findings from our analysis. In cases of Cockayne syndrome, […]

Cancer chemoprevention by the antioxidant tempol acts partially via the p53 tumor suppressor.
Hum Mol Genet. 2005 Jun 15;14(12):1699-708. Epub 2005 May 11. Erker L¹, Schubert R, Yakushiji H, Barlow C, Larson D, Mitchell JB, Wynshaw-Boris A. ¹Department of Pediatrics, UCSD School of Medicine, La Jolla, CA Abstract We previously demonstrated that the nitroxide antioxidant tempol (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) increased latency to tumorigenesis and doubled (100%) the lifespan of Atm-deficient […]

Neuroprotective effects of TEMPOL in central and peripheral nervous system models of Parkinson’s disease.
Biochem Pharmacol. 2005 Nov 1;70(9):1371-81. Liang Q¹, Smith AD, Pan S, Tyurin VA, Kagan VE, Hastings TG, Schor NF. ¹Department of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA Abstract TEMPOL (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) is a stable nitroxyl antioxidant. Previous studies have suggested that TEMPOL is protective in acute disorders thought to involve reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as […]
