A. Cardiomyocytes were transduced with either Ad-LacZ or Ad-Nox2 in the presence or absence of Ad-DN-Nox, and the cellular level of O2− was evaluated with SOD-inhibitable lucigenin chemiluminescence. *P<0.05, N.S. not significant. B. O2− production in the LV in systemic Nox4 KO mice, as evaluated with dihydroethidium (DHE) staining, was significantly decreased after injection of Ad-DN-Nox adenovirus. *P<0.05. C and D. O2−-producing activity of mitochondrial and microsomal fractions from cardiomyocytes transduced with the indicated adenoviruses was evaluated with lucigenin chemiluminescence assays. *P<0.05 vs. LacZ, N.S. not significant. E. Lysates from myoctytes transduced with Ad-LacZ or Ad-DN-Nox-HA were used for immunoprecipitation with HA antibody. Immunoblots for p22phox, Nox4, and HA were performed. Immunoblot of remaining lysate after incubation with HA-agarose beads is also shown. F. NADP/NADPH ratio was measured in the indicataed mouse hearts. * P<0.05 vs. WT, #P<0.05 vs. cNox4 KO, # # P<0.05 vs. Nox2 KO.
