Co-culture of KC with ovalbumin (OVA) antigens resulted in upstream intracellular endogenous ROS generation and increased expression of MHC class II and costimulator molecules, and consequent OVA-specific CD4 (+) T-cell proliferation in response to antigen presentation by KC.

CD4+ or CD8+ cells from clinically asymptomatic HIV-1 carriers contain a significantly elevated percentage of cells endowed with enhanced HE --> Eth conversion and/or reduced DiOC6 (3) uptake as compared with normal controls.
Control experiments involving rotenone, an inhibitor of the respiratory chain complex I, indicate that the reactive oxygen species responsible for HE --> Eth conversion is generated during mitochondrial electron transport.

9199966 Katsikis PD, Garcia-Ojeda ME, Torres-Roca JF, Greenwald DR, Herzenberg LA, Herzenberg LA: HIV type 1 Tat protein enhances activation-but not Fas (CD95)-induced peripheral blood T cell apoptosis in healthy individuals. Int Immunol. 1997 Jun;9(6):835-41.


Examining the mechanisms by which Tat induces apoptosis, we found that inhibitors of reactive oxygen intermediate (ROI) generation or neutralizers of ROI, such as rotenone, a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I of the respiratory chain, and 3,3,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline N-oxide (TMPO), an electron spin trap, could both enhance the spontaneous apoptosis induced by Tat.
