Abstract

Using high-throughput screening we identified small molecules that suppress superoxide and/or H 2 O 2 production during reverse electron transport through mitochondrial respiratory complex I (site I Q) without affecting oxidative phosphorylation (suppressors of site I Q electron leak, "S1QELs"). S1QELs diminished endogenous oxidative damage in primary astrocytes cultured at ambient or low oxygen tension, showing that site I Q is a normal contributor to mitochondrial superoxide-H 2 O 2 production in cells. They diminished stem cell hyperplasia in Drosophila intestine in vivo and caspase activation in a cardiomyocyte cell model driven by endoplasmic reticulum stress, showing that superoxide-H 2 O 2 production by site I Q is involved in cellular stress signaling. They protected against ischemia-reperfusion injury in perfused mouse heart, showing directly that superoxide-H 2 O 2 production by site I Q is a major contributor to this pathology. S1QELs are tools for assessing the contribution of site I Q to cell physiology and pathology and have great potential as therapeutic leads.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
