Probing oxidative stress in single erythrocytes with Raman Tweezers

TLDR
There is significant enhancement in Raman peak intensities corresponding to SS and C-S stretching modes that are induced by oxidative stress, consistent with the formation of mixed disulphides between protein SH groups and low-molecular-mass thiols such as glutathione during oxidative damage to cells.
Abstract
Raman Tweezers have been successfully applied to characterize chemically-induced oxidative stress on optically-trapped live, single erythrocytes. There is significant enhancement in Raman peak intensities corresponding to SS and C-S stretching modes that are induced by oxidative stress. This is consistent with the formation of mixed disulphides between protein SH groups and low-molecular-mass thiols such as glutathione during oxidative damage to cells. Enhancement in glutathione level as a protective response against oxidative stress has been observed. Principal component analysis of the data yields good discrimination between spectra of normal and stress-induced red blood cells.

Acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity

TL;DR: The recent finding that NADPH oxidase knockout mice were equally sensitive to acetaminophen and had equal nitration of tyrosine suggests that the superoxide is not from the activation of Kupffer cells.

Personal PM2.5 exposure and markers of oxidative stress in blood.

TL;DR: Personal exposure appears more closely related to these biomarkers potentially related to cardiovascular disease than is ambient PM(2.5) background concentrations, and exposure to particles in moderate concentrations can induce oxidative stress and increase RBCs in peripheral blood.
