Fe-MIL-100 as drug delivery system for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease treatment and diagnosis

TL;DR: Results confirmed that Fe-MIL-100 can be used safely as carrier for potential application in inhalable treatments and stressed the measurement of stress induced in the living cells by Fe-mil-100 by a measurement of the level of oxygen reactive species generation.

Silica particles cause NADPH oxidase-independent ROS generation and transient phagolysosomal leakage

TL;DR: Phagosomes containing silica particles leak their contents into the cytoplasm, leading to apoptosis, and leakage has been linked to ROS.

Benzocoumarin Hydrazine: A Large Stokes Shift Fluorogenic Sensor for Detecting Carbonyls in Isolated Biomolecules and in Live Cells

TL;DR: A new fluorescent sensor for biomolecule carbonyl detection: a hydrazine derivative of a benzocoumarin, 7-hydrazinyl-4-methyl-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one (BzCH), which meets the requirements of live cell detection and is especially well suited for live cell studies.

ESR evidence for in vivo formation of free radicals in tissue of mice exposed to single-walled carbon nanotubes.

TL;DR: Exposure to partially purified SWCNTs resulted in the augmentation of oxidative stress as evidenced by ESR detection of α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone spin-trapped carbon-centered lipid-derived radicals recorded shortly after the treatment.

Monitoring the action of redox-directed cancer therapeutics using a human peroxiredoxin-2-based probe

TL;DR: A peroxiredoxin-2-based FRET probe that is sensitive enough to measure changes in H2O2 concentration in response to the cancer therapeutic piperlongumine, and reveals peroxide-induced oxidation in human cells below the detection limit of current probes.

ROS as signalling molecules: mechanisms that generate specificity in ROS homeostasis

TL;DR: The pathways that regulate ROS homeostasis are crucial for mitigating the toxicity of ROS and provide strong evidence about specificity in ROS signalling.

Evaluation of the probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin as an indicator of reactive oxygen species formation and oxidative stress.

TL;DR: Data suggest that H2O2-Fe(2+)-derived oxidant is mainly responsible for the nonenzymatic oxidation of DCFH, which remains an attractive probe as an overall index of oxidative stress in toxicological phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconciling the chemistry and biology of reactive oxygen species

TL;DR: This review examines how target selectivity and antioxidant effectiveness vary for different oxidants and highlights areas where greater understanding is required on the fate of oxidants generated by cellular NADPH oxidases and on the identification of oxidant sensors in cell signaling.

Flow cytometric studies of oxidative product formation by neutrophils: a graded response to membrane stimulation.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the DCFH oxidation assay is quantitatively related to the oxidative metabolic burst of PMNL, and they strongly suggest that the reaction is mediated by H2O2 generated by the PMNL.
