In Vivo Immuno-Spin Trapping: Imaging the Footprints of Oxidative Stress.

TL;DR: An in vivo immuno‐spin trapping method for indirectly assessing oxidant levels by detecting free radicals resulting from reaction of oxidants with biomolecules to form stable, immunologically detectable nitrone‐biomolecular adducts is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The toxicity mechanism of different sized iron nanoparticles on human breast cancer (MCF7) cells.

TL;DR: The toxicity mechanism of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were examined multidimensionally to reduce the toxicity risks, and ROS amount was well coincided to gene expression level of these cell death pathways, which inferred RNA-seq might be a new method to evaluate the oxidative stress and potential toxicity of nanomaterials.

Involvement of bilitranslocase and beta-glucuronidase in the vascular protection by hydroxytyrosol and its glucuronide metabolites in oxidative stress conditions

TL;DR: Results suggest that, in conditions of oxidative stress, GC can be deconjugated into HT that is transported through the cell membrane by bilitranslocase to protect vascular function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rhizobium induces DNA damage in Caenorhabditis elegans intestinal cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that feeding a worm, Caenorhabditis elegans, with Rhizobium bacteria causes failed nuclear divisions in intestinal cells, and that hydrogen peroxide added to benign Escherichia coli can cause the same intestinal karyokinesis defects in WT C. elegans.

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.
