Electron spin resonance spectroscopy for the study of nanomaterial-mediated generation of reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: The use of ESR spectroscopy to study ROS generation mediated by nanomaterials, which have various applications in biological, chemical, and materials science, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A ratiometric fluorescent probe based on a coumarin-hemicyanine scaffold for sensitive and selective detection of endogenous peroxynitrite.

TL;DR: It is shown that the red emitting probe CHCN displays a dual ratiometric and colorimetric response to ONOO(-) that is caused by an oxidation process, and it is anticipated that probes of this type will find great use in explorations of the role played by ONOO (-) in biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crosstalk between calcium and reactive oxygen species signaling in cancer.

TL;DR: The regulation of Ca2+ channels and transporters by oxidants are described and the potential consequences of the ROS-Ca2+ interplay in tumor cells are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photooxidation of Amplex Red to resorufin: implications of exposing the Amplex Red assay to light.

TL;DR: It is found that resorufin is artifactually formed when Amplex Red is exposed to light, and this photooxidation process will result in a less sensitive assay for H( 2)O(2) under ambient light exposure and potentially invalid measurements under high energy exposure such as UVA irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imaging ROS signaling in cells and animals.

TL;DR: This review aims at providing an update of the current status in ROS imaging, while identifying areas of insufficient knowledge and highlighting emerging research directions.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal Article

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.
