Pivotal Role of H2O2 in Redox Regulation of Signaling and Transcription
Chairs: Helmut Sies, MD, University of Düsseldorf, Germany and Enrique Cadenas, Ph.D., MD, University of Southern California, USA
H2O2 is utilized in metabolic regulation in ways similar to diffusible gases such as NO, CO, or H2S, and it is recognized as a fundamental transcription-independent signal, in line with Ca2+ and ATP. H2O2 has been identified as a suitable second messenger molecule. This session addresses the mechanisms that involve H2O2 in redox signaling, its targets, and the functional consequences of H2O2 signaling. Novel aspects of H2O2-mediated redox regulation of cell signaling and transcriptional pathways are covered in terms of a redox relay for H2O2 signaling, identification of mitochondrial sites producing H2O2 and involved in cell signaling, and significance of mitochondrial ketoacid dehydrogenases as sources of H2O2.

Dual Role of Oxidants Generated by Leukocyte Enzymes in Health and Disease
Chairs: Clare Hawkins, Ph.D., Heart Research Institute, Australia and Michael Davies, Ph.D., Panum Institute, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Leukocytes generate very high oxidant fluxes when subject to appropriate stimuli, with O2consumption rates being up to 2500-fold higher than for other cells. They are therefore “professional” oxidant generators. These oxidants are important for killing invading pathogens, but this comes at a major cost to the host in “collateral” damage, with host cells subject to severe oxidative damage. Such oxidative host tissue damage has been associated with many diseases. Thus oxidation induced by leukocyte enzymes has both positive and negative effects, and understanding these mechanisms and their control, is critically important in physiological and pathological situations.

The Role of Redox Regulation on Epigenetics in Human Diseases
Chairs: Rick Domann, Ph.D., The University of Iowa, USA and Rebecca Oberley-Deegan, Ph.D., University of Nebraska Medical Center, USA
Over the past two decades, epigenetics has started to provide a plausible mechanistic link to explain interactions between the genetic code and others factors such as environment, diet, metabolism and age, all of which play major roles in the development of disease. Loss of epigenetic control and dysregulation of gene expression occurs in a variety of diseases, and as more research has been conducted in this field, it has become apparent that oxidative stress is a major driver of aberrant epigenetic regulation. This plenary session will discuss the role of redox biology and oxidative stress in the development and progression of epigenetic dysregulation in human disease.

The Landscape of Reductive Stress
Chairs: Joseph Loscalzo, MD, Ph.D., Harvard Medical School, USA, China and Young-Joon Surh, Ph.D., Seoul National University, South Korea
Redox homeostasis is essential for normal cellular maintenance and physiological functions. Reductive stress (RS), which refers to an abnormal increase of reducing equivalents (e.g. GSH/GSSG, NADH/NAD+, NADPH/NADP+, etc.), is emerging to become recognized as a new frontier in redox field. RS exists in physiological and pathological process, such as aging, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. However, much remains unknown about the causative factors, the biological effect and the underlying mechanism, which might impact the future strategy on redox regulation.
