Heat shock induces the cellular antioxidant defenses peroxiredoxin, glutathione and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase through Nrf2.

TL;DR: The results suggest that heat shock-generated ROS were involved in induction of cellular defense molecules Prxs, GSH and G6PD through Nrf2 activation, and sheds new light on the role of NRF2 and antioxidants in cellular responses to heat shock at mild and lethal temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications for oxidative stress and astrocytes following 26S proteasomal depletion in mouse forebrain neurones.

TL;DR: This is the first in vivo report of oxidative stress caused directly by neuronal proteasome dysfunction in the mammalian brain, contributing to understanding neuronal-glial interactions in disease pathogenesis, providing an in vivo link between prominent disease hypotheses and are of relevance to a heterogeneous spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antiproliferative and antimetabolic effects behind the anticancer property of fermented wheat germ extract

TL;DR: FWGE and the DMBQ compound both induced oxidative stress-promoted cytotoxicity and exhibited cytostatic and growth delay effects associated with impaired glucose utilization which led to autophagy, a possible previously unknown mechanism behind the influence of FWGE on cancer cell metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sinapine, but not sinapic acid, counteracts mitochondrial oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: Sinapine, a natural cationic hydrophilic phenol, commonly and substantially found in rapeseed species, effectively enters within the mitochondria, selectively decreases the level of mitochondrial oxidative stress and efficiently limits ROS production during cardiac ischemia-reperfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA damage in Fabry patients: An investigation of oxidative damage and repair.

TL;DR: Fabry patients presented efficient DNA repair in both assays as well as significantly higher levels of oxidative species (measured by dichlorofluorescein content), and even if DNA repair be induced in Fabry patients, the repair is not sufficient to reduce DNA damage to control levels.

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.
