NQO1 knock-out mice have an enhanced sensitivity to menadione suggesting that the principal function is xenobiotic quinone detoxification. Radjendirane V. (1998)
Quinones are? Class of organic
compound Endogenous
Ubiquinone (CoQ10) Electron carrier Mitochondrial: well
known function Exogenous
Food: Thymoquinone Pollution: Athraquinone
Hydroquinone form
Semi-quinone form: reactive
NQO1 reduces H2O2 production by quinones: might be especially important for β-cells, since they have a relatively low level of classical antioxidant enzymes.
NQO1 metabolizes Quinones
NQOI cytoprotection in β-cells
β-cells have relatively low levels of classical antioxidant enzymes SOD • Superoxide dismutases 1,2 and 3

NQO1
Is the transfer of electrons
Mediated by NQO1
NQO1 is a member of PMET Gray et al (2011)
Problem and Hypotheses
Objective: to determine role of NQO1 in β-cell health and metabolism.
Hypotheses: (1) NQO1 reduces oxidative stress
in β-cells by lowering quinone-dependent H2O2 production.
(2) NQO1 modulates NAD(P)H-to-NAD(P)+ ratio in β-cells.
Methods
INS-1 832/13 cells
• Over-expression of NQO1▫ Adenovirus with NQO1▫NQO1 activity was
measured in cell lysate by decrease in absorbance of (DPIP) dichlorophenolindophenol activity increased more than 10 fold
• NQ01
