Role of Ca2+ in toxic cell killing

TL;DR: Several biochemical mechanisms that are stimulated by a sustained increase in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and can directly mediate cell death by causing disruption of the cytoskeleton, DNA fragmentation and extensive damage to other cell components are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutathione: Toxicological Implications

TL;DR: The role of mitochondrial glutathione in cellular response to toxic exposures that include loss of the homeostases of Ca2+ and protein thiols is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress: Free radical production in neural degeneration

TL;DR: The oxidative stress theory of neurodegeneration, on excitotoxin-induced cell damage and on impairment of mitochondrial function are focused on as three major noxae being the most likely causes of cell death either independently or in connection with each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell Death Mechanisms and the Immune System

TL;DR: The immune system provides good models for cell death, a phenomenon now recognized to be of fundamental importance in many fields of biology and the nature of molecules causally involved in the dying cell can now be approached in some systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The actin cytoskeleton response to oxidants: from small heat shock protein phosphorylation to changes in the redox state of actin itself.

TL;DR: The actin cytoskeleton response to oxidants is discussed on the basis of the growing body of evidence indicating the actin system as the most sensitive constituent of the cytos skeleton to the oxidant attack.

Cleavage of Structural Proteins during the Assembly of the Head of Bacteriophage T4

TL;DR: Using an improved method of gel electrophoresis, many hitherto unknown proteins have been found in bacteriophage T4 and some of these have been identified with specific gene products.

High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of nanomole levels of glutathione, glutathione disulfide, and related thiols and disulfides.

TL;DR: A rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method for determination of nanomole levels of glutathione, glutathiona disulfide, cysteine glutathion-mixed disulfides and 20 related sulfur-containing amino acids or their derivatives has been described.

The metabolism of menadione (2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) by isolated hepatocytes. A study of the implications of oxidative stress in intact cells.

TL;DR: In the presence of cytotoxic concentrations of menadione rapid changes in intracellular thiol and Ca2+ homeostasis were observed and were associated with alterations in the surface structure of the hepatocytes which may be an early indication of cytOToxicity.
