" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal."

Dr. Mamta Gupta,
"It gives me great pleasure to be associated with JCDR, since last 2-3 years. Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer.
It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.
The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles.
Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it.
An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help one’s reviewing skills.
My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR".

"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words.
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.


Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journals–No manuscripts–No authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal.
Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards.
Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.
Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.
In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them.
It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal.
Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR."

Dr. Shankar P.R.

"On looking back through my Gmail archives after being requested by the journal to write a short editorial about my experiences of publishing with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), I came across an e-mail from Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March 2007, which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal.
Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement.
My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did!
Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review.
Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors.
Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts was not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed.
Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work."

Abstract

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) takes part in cellular energy metabolism by accepting hydride equivalents to form reduced NADH, which furnishes reducing equivalents to mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain (ETC). Usually, NADH (H for hydrogen)/NAD+, redox couple is crucial for cellular redox homeostasis and healthy physiological condition. Reductive Stress (RS) denotes a stable alteration of redox homeostasis due to overexpression of the antioxidant enzyme system, which could deplete Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). This might potentially switch the redox couple from an oxidative state to a reduced state. Notably, it navigates the cell to RS. Emerging evidence recommends that RS might be even more detrimental than its counterpart oxidative stress. Contemporary perception on fundamental mechanisms of RS, due to perturbation of redox couple, is limited. This review is based on recent comprehension on the biochemical and metabolic role of NADH/NAD+ redox couple and its title role in promoting diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, Diabetes Mellitus (DM), neurodegenerative diseases. Besides, insight into the evolution of NAD+ redox signaling will augment the perspective on cellular redox homeostasis. Upcoming coveted analyses are desired to establish and explore metabolic transformation to RS. Moreover, the antireductant approach to hinder RS will be noteworthy.

Keywords

Cancer, Electron transport chain, Reactive oxygen species, Redox couple, Redox homeostasis

Redox reactions (oxidation and reduction) represent the transfer of electrons from an electron donor (reducing agent) to an electron acceptor (oxidising agent). Cellular pro-oxidants like Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS), and their removal by antioxidants determine the cellular redox domain (1). Under physiological conditions, ATP generation depends on a series of redox reactions. Notably, redox couples like NAD+/reduced NAD+ (NADH), phosphorylated NAD+ (NADP+)/reduced NADP+ (NADPH) are paramount for cellular redox environment and are responsible for cellular energetics (2). More so, they play a crucial role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis, which accounts for a healthy physiological steady state (3). Redox homeostasis might be a controlling link between the cell cycle and metabolic proceedings (4). As redox couples are linked to cellular redox environments with cellular energetics, any perturbation in these ratios might lead to detrimental pathophysiological events.

The notion of Reductive Stress (RS) denotes a stable alteration of redox homeostasis. This is introduced in a biological context to describe a sustained increase in reducing equivalents due to overexpression of antioxidant enzyme system that could reposition the redox couples (NADH/NAD+, NADPH/NADP+) from an oxidative state to a reduced state (5). Emerging evidence establish that RS might be even more detrimental than its counterpart oxidative stress [1,4,5]. Importantly, RS is seen as an underlying mechanism in the majority of reports on pathological conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, muscular dystrophy, metabolic syndrome, and disorders of mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain (ETC) [5,6]. An in-depth analysis suggests the following mechanisms contributing to pathogenesis: i) regulation of cellular signalling pathway; ii) modification of transcription factors; iii) alteration in the formation of disulphide bonds in the membrane and secretory proteins resulting in activation of unfolded protein and endoplasmic reticulum stress; iv) mitochondrial dysfunction; v) alteration of cellular metabolism [1,5]. It is also speculated that experimental control on cellular antioxidant pathways to manipulate redox control of cell cycle could impede deleterious cellular proliferation (4). RS also supports the mechanism that could be considered as a beneficial geroprotective approach. Contemporary perception of the fundamental mechanism of RS and its effect on cell metabolism is limited. This article reviews and delineates the metabolic source of the cellular redox network and cellular distribution of the aforementioned redox couple. Also, it focuses on the harmful effect of increased ROS which mediates cellular dysfunction via prolonged RS. Also, it confers an overview of the current state of knowledge on RS and associated chronic diseases. This review is based on a search of Medline, and citation lists of relevant publications in English.

Redox Homeostasis and Redox Stress in Human Beings

Cellular redox environment always maintains uniformity between synthesis of ROS, RNS, and their obliteration by antioxidant enzyme system (7). ROS are predominantly generated by enzymatic reactions like NAD(P)H oxidase, nitric oxide synthase, xanthine oxidase, or by mitochondrial ETC as functional by-products, which mostly constitute cellular pro-oxidants (Table/Fig 1) (8). In this context, it should be noted that pro-oxidants are highly reactive in redox reactions, and their physiological role is not confined locally, though their production is compartment specific.

Overall, it can be hypothesised that the redox cycle acts as controlling nexus between oxidative metabolic affaire and cell cycle chores. It has also been demonstrated that ROS takes part in an evaluative contribution in many pathological processes, especially on cell cycle control (4). It is well-known that ROS can damage protein, lipid, DNA, thus altering the organisms structure and function. It is noteworthy to state that cellular redox homeostasis is perpetuated by a subtle equilibrium between pro-oxidant and antioxidant. Thus, excess oxidant level leads the way to oxidative stress, which is detrimental to cell cycle function and this entails the initiation of many chronic diseases like Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), neurodegenerative disease, ageing and cancer (5). It is worth mentioning here that several antioxidant trials to impede chronic diseases like cancer and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) has been debatable (9). Besides, it has also been reported that antioxidants should be selected based on their availability and ease of delivery (10).

Reductive Stress (RS)

This upcoming hypothesis broadens our understanding of the cellular redox environment. The term RS, not a well-characterised hypothesis, was first reported by Gores GJ et al., during his experiment in rats to induce chemical hypoxia (11). Usually, under physiological conditions, redox homeostasis is maintained by redox couples such as NADH/NAD+, NADPH/NADP+ (7). Besides, this has been revealed that surplus reducing equivalents like NADH and NADPH underscore a close link to RS (5). Like oxidative stress, RS also backs pro-oxidant production which might cause oxidative damage to cells that can put the cell in distress. In the context of this review, RS is defined as a condition when the equilibrium between pro-oxidant and antioxidant is detrimentally disturbed (12). This highlights to be deleterious through multiple mechanisms such as elicitation of ROS production, interference in signalling function of ROS, alteration in cell metabolism, curbing of protein disulphide genesis (13).

Consistent with these observations, it is suggested that the cellular redox environment changes during the cell cycle, which also regulates progression from one cell cycle phase to another (14). Innovative research by Kalen AL et al., focussing on the influence of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) on redox stress and cell cycle checkpoint, reinforces the redox regulation of cell cycle progression (15). In addition to this, research evidence also justifies the role of redox regulations in cell cycle proteins, such as Cyclin-Dependent Kinase (CDK) interacting protein (p 21), Rb protein for a G1 checkpoint, cyclin D1, CDK 4-6 (16). Likewise, another study by Sakamaki T et al., provides strong evidence for the association between the cellular redox domain and cyclin D1 protein, which largely regulates the progression of the cell cycle from G0/G1 to S phase (17). Importantly, the literature discussed in this section distinctly defends the hypothesis of periodicity in cellular redox nature, which is sustained by intricate uniformity between pro-oxidant and antioxidants. On a similar note, it could also be speculated that restriction of redox homeostasis may repress numerous expressions of such proliferative disorders.

Metabolic Source and Cellular Distribution of Redox Couple

This is already understood that reducing equivalents like NADH and NADPH are indispensable for cellular redox homeostasis. Nonetheless, the term RS could be correlated to the uncurbed magnitude of the aforementioned reducing equivalents. On a cellular 2level, the companionship of growing reducing equivalents and dearth of useful ROS could impede growth factor-mediated signalling and could elevate mitochondrial dysfunction. Under these circumstances, there is a decreased cellular function and cell survival due to RS (12). Thus, it is hypothesised that RS could be detrimental to cells and could be associated with several disease processes, such as CVD, neurodegenerative disease, and carcinoma (4).

Metabolic Sources of NAD+ and NADP+

NAD+ is a co-factor for several enzymes which catalyse various crucial metabolic reactions. Three major sources for synthesis of NAD+ are de novo synthesis (tryptophan precursor), Preiss-Handler Pathway (nicotinic acid precursor), and salvage pathway (nicotinamide riboside precursor) [3,5]. NAD+ kinase enzyme converts NAD+ to NADP+, whereas dehydrogenase enzyme converts NAD+ and NADP+ to NADH and NADPH, respectively. In this context, the term redox stress refers to the relative paucity of ROS in comparison to NAD+/NADH redox couples (5). Metabolic role of redox couples, reducing equivalents, antioxidant enzymes and pathologies leading to imbalance in redox homeostasis, thus denote RS.

The involvement of reducing equivalents and antioxidant enzymes are summarised in (Table/Fig 2) (1). On a similar note, the interconversion of NAD(P)+ to NAD(P)H highlights the significance of redox balance. Few major carbohydrate metabolic pathways like glycolysis, TCA cycle, Hexose Monophosphate (HMP) shunt, etc., settle the interconversion (18). In addition, a few other enzymes like alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase also contribute to the formation of NADH. It should be noted here that malate/aspartate shuttle is responsible for compartmental exchange which sustains high cytosolic NAD+ and high mitochondrial NADH. Any disturbance in the shuttle mechanism might affect redox homeostasis (19).

Metabolic Source of NADH and NADPH

NADH is primarily generated from interconversion of NAD+ mediated by enzyme glyceraldehyde -3-phosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase. In addition, a few other enzymes like alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase also contribute to the formation of NADH (13). As illustrated in the glycolysis pathway, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is converted to 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate along with the interconversion of NAD+/NADH couple. In the same pathway, pyruvate is reduced to lactate, along with the oxidation of NADH to NAD+. Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA also produces NADH. Acetyl-CoA then enters into the Tricarboxylic Acid (TCA) cycle, where NADH is also generated with enzymes Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (ICD), a Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase (αKGDH), and Malate Dehydrogenase (MDH) (5). Of note, enzymes like Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH), Glutamate Dehydrogenase (GDH), ICD, a KGDH, MDH, etc., furnish NADH in the mitochondrial matrix (Table/Fig 3) [5,20]. The aerobic condition can bring about eight NADH molecules when one glucose molecule enters through the TCA cycle.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phospho gluconolactone dehydrogenase enzyme (HMP Shunt), are primarily responsible for the generation of cytosolic NADPH (5). Other sources of cytosolic NADPH include ICD, Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR), Formyl Tetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase (FTHFDH) (21). In addition, malate to pyruvate decarboxylation by malic enzyme, usually coupled with the conversion of NADP+ to NADPH. Considerable origin of mitochondrial NADPH is mitochondrial enzymes such as ICD, Malic enzyme, Methylenetetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase (MTHFD), FTHFDH (5). In addition, Nicotinamide Nucleotide Transhydrogenase (NNT) also contributes to the mitochondrial NADPH pool (4).

The literature presented in this review stands up for the concept that disruption in redox control could usher in various disease pathologies. As the centre of attention of this review is RS induced by a change in redox potential, current findings on various RS-associated chronic diseases like cancer, CVD, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease will be presented below.

Role of Reductive Stress (RS) in Cancer

There is growing appreciation to acknowledge the contribution of RS in cancer development, advancement, and curative approach. As an emerging concept, RS has been identified as a major contributor to carcinogenesis (22). As discussed previously, redox homeostasis is not only vital for the maintenance of normal physiological processes but also important for cell growth and survival. Moreover, perturbation in redox balance is definitely involved in the proliferation and progression of cancer. It is stated before that surplus reducing equivalents can be linked to RS. This in turn can disturb cell signalling pathways and mitochondrial homeostasis. In this context, it is important to understand that antioxidants influence RS in tumour microenvironment. RS, antioxidant enzymes, and disturbed homeostasis are incongruously link to excess ROS production (22).

On a similar note, cancer cells could amend to more reductive conditions and a reductive environment motivates the proliferation of cancerous cells. It is noteworthy to mention here that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor, may act as a master regulator of cellular redox balance (23). Importantly, this has been identified to promote RS and might contribute to altered metabolism and the development of carcinogenesis. Moreover, it has been speculated that tumour cells expropriate Nrf2 signal which facilitates cancer cell survival even with resistance to anticancer agents (24). Thus, activation of Nrf2 may give a new impetus to cancer metastasis. It is noteworthy that recent studies have addressed the involvement of divergent activity of Nrf2 in several types of cancers such as lungs, breast, ovary, etc., (25).

Moreover, concurrent usage of chemotherapy and antioxidants leads to the diminished biological activity of alkylating chemotherapeutics through the induction of antioxidant enzymes (26). As stated before, that metabolic alteration and adaptability are signatory characteristics of cancer. Of note, this could affect cellular redox homeostasis, which ultimately is linked to resistance to chemotherapeutics (27). In general, there occurs metabolic alterations and excess ROS in cancer cells (28). RS is utilised to achieve therapeutic resistance which is favourable for tumour growth and metastasis. For instance, a recent study by Metere A et al., on thyroid cancer tissue signifies metabolic reprogramming (decrease TCA cycle and enhance glycolysis), which indicates their progress and endurance (29). Several inquiries stand unsettled regarding the detrimental and defensive consequences of ROS on cell physiology.

Role of Reductive Stress (RS) in Cardiovascular Disease

It is now clearly recognised that intracellular redox balance could be preserved by a mechanism that regulates production (pro-oxidants) and removal (antioxidants) of ROS. Of note, mitochondria (ETC by-products) and extramitochondrial (enzymes such as NAD phosphate (NADPH) oxidases) are the two major sources of ROS generation in the heart (30). As explained earlier, the redox environment is defined by NADH, NADPH, and their respective oxidised form. Emerging suggestions specify that RS is assumed to be more deleterious than its counterpart oxidative stress by a mechanism where the saviour turns predator (31). As explained earlier in this review, RS is defined by a sustained increase in reducing equivalents due to overexpression of antioxidant enzyme system, that could reposition the redox couples from an oxidative state to a reduced state. It is now widely recognised that RS alters redox potential which may promote cardiovascular deterioration such as myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, cardiac hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and mitochondrial dysfunction (32). A noteworthy question here is that how both oxidative stress and RS usher to matching consequences. Many queries remain unresolved about the defensive and detrimental effect of RS on CVD.

It is already known that fibrous plaque and atherosclerosis have been identified to play a crucial part in Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Data suggest that vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation could initiate ROS generation and abundant expression of ROS signalling can further activate cellular proliferation during atherosclerosis (33). Based on this report, it has been elucidated that intracellular ROS is substantially involved in the pathogenesis of CVD. Pyrimidine nucleotide NADH, NADPH plays a major role in the generation of ROS and their removal by the antioxidant enzyme. Importantly, NADPH oxidase, Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), xanthine oxidase, and phagocyte NADPH oxidase mostly contribute to ROS generation in ischaemia (34). There is growing appreciation that activation of NADPH oxidase (NOx) has a considerable impact on the pathogenesis of CVD (12). So far, several types of NOx have been reported, out of which NOx4 has been reported to utilise both NADPH and NADH catalytically in cardiac tissue (35). Handy DE and Loscalzo J shed some light on this enigma, which is considered as a key source of ROS (12). Several studies on NOx4 have been analysed in the model of cardiac diseases, which explain its role by controlling endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) expression and NO production on vasculature (36). Evidence from Touyz RM et al., suggests altered expression of NOx4 in atherosclerosis, justifying its response to stress (37). Looi YH et al., however, suggest that NOx2 is considered to be constitutively active in myocardial infarction (38). Additionally, a link between NOx4 and Nrf2 activation was shown in cultured endothelial cell experiments. It is truly unclear whether overexpression of endogenous NOx4 will promote redox stress or angiogenic response and cell survival (39). Many questions remain unanswered about the defensive and detrimental effect of NOx4 on CVD. As RS and NOx, likely play an essential role in redox signalling, yet it is undefined how oxidants bring about a defensive role instead of harmful action.

The concept of protein aggregation cardiomyopathy and cardiac dysfunction is not new. Already it is well-known that αB-crystallin (CryAB), acts as chaperone protein (proper folding or assembly) for cardiac myofibrillar protein desmin and actin. Pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy is associated with misfolding and subsequent cytoplasmic aggregates of desmin (40). Furthermore, an additional mouse model with overexpression of CryAB displays an increase in NADPH and antioxidant enzyme catalase and glutathione reductase, which supports the concept of RS in cardiac disease. Interestingly, the mitochondrial matrix displays a reduced redox potential to a great extent (41). Any variation in the redox profile promotes mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiac pathology. It must be mentioned here that mitochondrial redox state is relevant to the heart as it needs a constant supply of ATP via the ETC. Extensive clinical experimental evidence could throw more light on therapeutic means for effective prevention and treatment of various CVD.

Role of Reductive Stress (RS) in Diabetes

The DM has been known since antiquity. India is one of the epicentres of the global diabetes pandemic. Chronic elevation of blood glucose is a characteristic feature of DM. Type 1 DM (IDDM) results from insulin deficiency, whereas type 2 DM (NIDDM) is delineated by insulin insensitivity in peripheral tissues due to Insulin Resistance (IR) (42). In India, 77 million people were estimated to have diabetes in 2019, and by 2045, that number is projected to reach over 134 million (43).

It is primarily due to interaction between lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors (44). Although the exact cause of diabetes is not thoroughly acknowledged, it is postulated that perturbation of cellular redox homeostasis may notably affect the progression of this disease (45). As hyperglycaemia and IR is a characteristic feature of type 2 DM, hence it would be sufficing to mention that there is an increase in glucose metabolism in such cases. Thus, persistent hyperglycaemia explains more production of NADH for ATP through the glycolysis pathway. Surplus NADH may constitute the framework for redox imbalance between NADH and NAD (46). Studies have shown that the above redox disproportion is assumed to be the pathogenesis of type 2 DM [45-47]. It has been discussed earlier that there occurs overproduction of NADH in diabetes via conventional glucose metabolic pathway (Glycolysis and Kreb’s cycle) as shown in (Table/Fig 3). Following enzymes can be ascribed for this function such as glyceraldehyde -3-phosphate dehydrogenase in glycolysis, PDH complex in link reaction, ICD in TCA cycle, and MDH in TCA cycle.

Additionally, mitochondrial beta-oxidation of fatty acids plays a conspicuous role in maintaining energy homeostasis by producing NADH. Although fatty acid oxidation acts as a crucial energy source for the heart, skeletal muscle, and kidney, it also provides essential energy in post-absorptive and fasting states (48). Nonetheless, under hyperglycaemic conditions, NADH is overproduced which might lead to RS in DM. In this context, it is noteworthy that the polyol pathway is enhanced under diabetic hyperglycaemia, which is another source of NADH (49). This also can contribute to redox imbalance between NADH and NAD.

The study provides evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction and IR in type 2 DM should be linked together (50). Of note, mitochondria typically have many intermediary metabolites and reducing equivalents as a result of various metabolic reactions in it (51). This finding suggests that any change in mitochondrial function may bring about anomalous insulin signalling pathways. Ultimately insufficient glucose utilisation augments type 2 DM (52). Strikingly, these changes can be reversed by aiming to upgrade mitochondrial function, which may contribute to a curative plan of action for IR and DM.

As mentioned earlier that redox equilibrium keeps the cellular homeostasis. RS can occur when there is an unusual increase in reducing equivalents which reposition the redox balance of NADH/NAD+ to a more reducing state. It is noteworthy, that sirtuins and Poly ADP Ribose Polymerases (PARPs) are the enzymes that can use NAD+ as their substrate (53). It should be noted that chronic hyperglycaemia in diabetes is usually accompanied by low sirtuin protein due to low NAD+ (excess NADH). It has been hypothesised that a high sirtuin level can promote redox balance in diabetes, which could amend diabetes and future complications (54). Similarly, PARP, which is reported to be overactivated in diabetes, may attenuate NAD+ causing redox imbalance (55). Hence, it is imaginable that restoring redox balance by PARP inhibitor should be a promising approach for anti-diabetic therapy. Additionally, NAD+ analog can also restore NADH/NAD+ redox balance in diabetes. Future intensive studies on restoring redox balance can be helpful for antidiabetic therapeutic strategies.

Role of RS in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative disorders are delineated by cumulative loss of selective neurons of the brain and spinal cord, for example, superior temporal sulcus in Alzheimer’s disease and substantia nigra in Parkinson’s disease (56). The exact cause behind the pathology of these diseases remains unclear. Several studies provide compelling evidence in support of inflammation-causing protein aggregation and subsequent alteration in neurotransmitters [1,57]. There are still many questions to be answered regarding RS participation in neurodegenerative diseases. An animal study by Lloret A et al., showed that RS is the emerging cause of Alzheimer’s disease even before the onset of the disease (57). The cause of RS could be related to a high level of G6PD and GSH, which may be crucial for maintaining the mitochondrial membrane sulfhydryl group. Likewise, overexpression of antioxidant enzymes may trigger the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by impairing redox homeostasis (1).

Future studies are necessitated to analyse how RS influences cell metabolism and how cells adapt to such stress and how the biological consequence of imbalanced redox niche is responsible for causing Alzheimer’s disease. Similarly, Parkinson’s disease is a common neurodegenerative disease that involves gradual deprivation of dopaminergic neurons with an unusual increase in alpha-synuclein in the substantia nigra. Although aetiology remains elusive, ROS-mediated damage has been implicated to be involved in the development of the disease. The Rotenone Model of Parkinson’s disease by Greenamyre JT et al., showed significant augmentation of NADH/NAD+ in association with the disease (58). It is important to note that mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation have been attributed to redox cellular equilibrium in substantia nigra, which predicts the progression of the disease (59). Clinical trials in a large population will cover the knowledge on the potential role of antioxidants and their impact on living beings.

Conclusion

Despite the contemporary conviction that oxidative stress is a significant player for underlying disease processes, there is extending acknowledgement that RS is even more harmful to the biological system. It is the ultimate time to review and reconsider the importance of a nebulous balance between oxidative stress and RS in health and disease. On a cellular level, the NADH/NAD+ redox couple maintains and harmonises cellular metabolism and is so assumed to be responsible for a healthy physiological steady state. Sustained and perpetual augmentation of reducing equivalents could shift the redox couples more towards a reduced state, which has been linked to pathological disorders. This review article highlights the metabolic sources of the redox couple and also confabulates current knowledge on RS and associated chronic diseases. Several recent literature searches have proclaimed that cancer, DM, and many CVDs are redox imbalance diseases. This review article reasonably stands up for redox paragon which promotes origination of reducing equivalents and accompanying RS. Despite extended research works, several queries stand still unsettled regarding the detrimental and defensive consequences of ROS, antioxidant defence mechanisms on cell physiology. Consistent with the knowledge reviewed here, it is suggested that targeted antioxidant therapy could mend the redox homeostasis and its impact on living beings.
