Spatial Properties of Reactive Oxygen Species Govern Pathogen-Specific Immune System Responses

TL;DR: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are often considered to be undesirable toxic molecules that are generated under conditions of cellular stress, which can cause damage to critical macromolecules such as DNA but can also contribute to the pathogenesis of cancer and many other chronic inflammatory disease conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unprecedented Behavior of (9 R)-9-Hydroxystearic Acid-Loaded Keratin Nanoparticles on Cancer Cell Cycle.

TL;DR: The synthesis and in vitro biological profiling of 9R keratin nanoparticles (9R@ker) obtained through an in-water drug-induced aggregation process indicate an increased fluidity of cell membrane and a higher intracellular ROS formation, resulting in an unexpected S phase cell cycle arrest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virtual screening-guided discovery of thioredoxin reductase inhibitors.

TL;DR: Results from both simulations and experiments demonstrated that Sec498 is the prime interaction site for the inhibition of TXNRD, and opens a new door in discovering selective small molecule inhibitors of TrxR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of Intra- and Extracellular Acidification on Free Radical Formation and Mitochondria Membrane Potential in Rat Brain Synaptosomes

TL;DR: It is shown that pHo but not pHi lowering led to oxidative stress in neuronal presynaptic endings that might underlie the long-term irreversible changing in synaptic transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Indoxyl Sulfate Generates Free Radicals, Decreases Antioxidant Defense, and Leads to Damage to Mononuclear Blood Cells.

TL;DR: The obtained results show that IS induces oxidative stress and a decrease in antioxidant defense in cells leading to lipid and protein damage.

Free radicals in biology and medicine

TL;DR: 1. Oxygen is a toxic gas - an introduction to oxygen toxicity and reactive species, and the chemistry of free radicals and related 'reactive species'

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.
