Methionine was oxidized to ethylene by an “Iron Redox” system containing H2O2, Fe-EDTA and ascorbate. generating hydroxyl radicals or another species of similar reactivity. Oxy or met forms of haemoglobin and myoglobin were found to inhibit methionine oxidation. Methionine oxidation was elevated in the “Iron Redox” system by increasing ascorbic acid concentration. However, in the presence of metmyoglobin or methaemoglobin, the increases in ascorbic acid did not lower the haemproteins' inhibitory effects but rather increased them.
The pro-oxidative or anti-oxidative activities of haemproteins in biological oxidative reactions seem to be dependent on compartmentalization and on the presence and concentrations of reducing compounds and H2O2. 相似文献

In the presence of excess hydrogen peroxide. human oxyhaemoglobin and oxyleghaemoglobin from soybean root nodules cause oxidation of dimethylsulphoxide to formaldehyde. This reaction is inhibited by thiourea but not by phenylalanine. HEPES. mannitol or arginine. It is concluded that dimethylsulphoxide oxidation is not mediated by “free” hydroxyl radicals. consistent with previous conclusions that intact haemoglobin, leghaemoglobin or myoglobin molecules do not react with H2O2 to form hydroxyl radicals detectable outside the protein. 相似文献

The authors previously reported that Fe2+ is capable of increasing the binding of dopamine and of serotonin to “serotonin binding proteins” which are present in soluble extracts from calf brain. In this study, it is shown that Mn2+ and Cu2+ are also capable of increasing the binding, but for dopamine only. As for Fe2+, Mn2+ and Cu2+ are likely to promote the binding by virtue of their ability to enhance the oxidation of dopamine into dopamine-O-quinone, a derivative which is known to undergo covalent association with sulfhydryl groups of proteins. Data such as the irreversible nature of the majority of the binding, the inhibitory action of reducing agents (sodium ascorbate) and of reagents which contain, or modify sulfhydryl groups (reduced glutathione) are compatible with such a mechanism. The three metal ions are also capable of inactivating part of the binding sites on SBP directly; this effect is more pronounced for Cu2+ than for Fe2+ and it is only weak for Mn2+. The Fe2+-mediated binding of dopamine is inhibited by the superoxide dismutase enzyme, and it was therefore suggested that Fe2+ enhances the oxidation of dopamine by virtue of its ability to produce superoxide radicals out of dissolved molecular oxygen. Such a mechanism does not appear to take place in the case of Mn2+ and Cu2+. Instead, it is likely that Cu2+ and dopamine form a complex which is highly susceptible towards oxidation by dissolved molecular oxygen. Mn2+, on the other hand, can easily be oxidized into Mn3+, which is capable to oxidize dopamine by itself. Chronic manganese intoxication (from exposure to manganese) and Wilson's disease (related to inadequate elimination of copper) go along with neurological symptoms which are very similar to those encountered in Parkinson's disease. Our data indicate that manganese and copper ions accelerate the oxidation of catecholamines to produce toxic quinones. These quinones could, at least in part, account for the degeneration of dopamininergic neurons in such pathologies. 相似文献

Although thiourea has been used widely to study the role of hydroxyl radicals in metal-mediated biological damage, it is not a specific hydroxyl radical scavenger and may also exert antioxidant effects unrelated to hydroxyl radical scavenging. Thus, we investigated the effects of thiourea on copper-induced oxidative damage to bovine serum albumin (1 mg/ml) in three different copper-containing systems: Cu(II)/ascorbate, Cu(II)/H2O2, and Cu(II)/H2O2/ascorbate [Cu(II), 0.1 mM; ascorbate, 1 mM; H2O2, 1 mM]. Oxidative damage to albumin was measured as protein carbonyl formation. Thiourea (0.1–10 mM) provided marked and dose-dependent protection against protein oxidation in all three copper-containing systems. In contrast, only minor protection was observed with dimethyl sulfoxide and mannitol, even at concentrations as high as 100 mM. Strong protection was also observed with dimethylthiourea, but not with urea or dimethylurea. Thiourea also significantly inhibited copper-catalyzed oxidation of ascorbate, and competed effectively with histidine and 1,10-phenanthroline for binding of cuprous, but not cupric, copper, as demonstrated by both UV-visible and low temperature electron spin resonance measurements. We conclude that the protection by thiourea against copper-mediated protein oxidation is not through scavenging of hydroxyl radicals, but rather through the chelation of cuprous copper and the formation of a redox-inactive thiourea-copper complex. 相似文献

The oxidation of 2-keto-4-thiomethyl butyric acid (KTBA) and methionine to ethylene has been used to evaluate generation of ferryl species or hydroxyl radicals by H2O2--activated haemproteins or free ferric ions. Hydrogen peroxide was generated by a glucose oxidase-glucose system at a rate of 1 μM/min. Free ferric in the presence of H2O2 oxidizes KTBA, and this was highly inhibited by hydroxyl radical scavengers, caeruloplasmin, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and EDTA. However, when metmyoglobin, methaemoglobin (MtHb) or horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were tested in the same model system, hydroxyl radical scavengers suppressed partially KTBA oxidation and caeruloplasmin, SOD and EDTA failed to inhibit the reaction. Cytochrome-c was found to be a weak promoter of KTBA oxidation in the presence of H2O2. Methionine was oxidized to ethylene by an active system which generates hydroxyl radicals, but not by H2O2--activated metmyoglobin. Ferric ions chelated to membranes or ADP in the presence of H2O2 generated enzymatically, initiated membranal lipid peroxidation only in the presence of ascorbic acid, and this was inhibited by EDTA. In contrast, metmyoglobin and methaemoglobin activated by H2O2 generated by the same system, initiated membranal lipid peroxidation and this was not inhibited by EDTA. It is concluded that ferryl and not HO. is the main oxidant in systems containing myoglobin and haemoglobin activated by low concentrations of H2O2. 相似文献

By employing electron spin resonance spectroscopy, we examined the free radicals scavenging effects of hepatic metallothionein (MT) isoforms I and II (MTs-I and II) on four types of free radicals. Solutions of 0.15mM of MT-I and 0.3mM of MT-II were found to scavenge the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals (1.30 × 1015 spins/ml) completely. In addition, both isoforms exhibited total scavenging action against the hydroxyl radicals (1.75 × 1015 spins/ml) generated in a Fenton reaction. Similarly, 0.3mM of MT-I scavenged almost 90% of the superoxide (2.22 × 1015 spins/ml) generated by the hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase system, while a 0.3mM MT-II solution could only scavenge 40% of it. By using 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidone as a “spin-trap” for the reactive oxygen species (containing singlet oxygen, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals) generated by photosensitized oxidation of riboflavin and measuring the relative signal intensities of the resulting stable nitroxide adduct, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidine-1-oxyl, we observed that MT-II (0.3 mM) could scavenge 92%, while MT-I at 0.15 mM μl/ml concentrations could completely scavenge all the reactive species (2.15 × 1015 spins/ml) generated.
The results of these studies suggest that although both isoforms of MT are able to scavenge free radicals, the MT-I appears to be a superior scavenger of superoxide and 1,1 diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals. 相似文献

The hydrogen peroxide dependent oxidation of the epinephrinecopper complex to adrenochrome is mediated by free copper ions. The oxidation is enhanced by chloride ions and by the presence of serum albumin. The reaction is not inhibited by SOD or by hydroxyl radical scavengers.
The 2:1 epinephrine or dopamine:Cu(II) complexes are able to bind to DNA and to catalyze its oxidative destruction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The DNA-epinephrine-Cu(II) terenary complex has characteristic spectral properties. It has the capacity to catalyze the reduction of oxygen or H2O2 and it preserves the capacity over a wide range of comp1ex:DNA ratios. The rate of DNA cleavage is proportional to the rate of epinephrine oxidation and the rate determining step of the reaction Seems to be the reduction of free Cu(II) ions. The ability to form redox active stable DNA ternary complexes, suggests that under specific physiological conditions, when “free” copper ions are available. catecholamina may induce oxidative degradation of DNA and other biological macromolecules. 相似文献

One of the common explanations for oxidative stress in the physiological milieu is based on the Fenton reaction, i.e. the assumption that radical chain reactions are initiated by metal-catalyzed electron transfer to hydrogen peroxide yielding hydroxyl radicals. On the other hand — especially in the context of so-called “iron switches” — it is postulated that cellular signaling pathways originate from the interaction of reduced iron with hydrogen peroxide.
Using fluorescence detection and EPR for identification of radical intermediates, we determined the rate of iron complexation by physiological buffer together with the reaction rate of concomitant hydroxylations of aromatic compounds under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. With the obtained overall reaction rate of 1,700 M-1s-1 for the buffer-dependent reactions and the known rates for Fenton reactions, we derive estimates for the relative reaction probabilities of both processes.
As a consequence we suggest that under in vivo conditions initiation of chain reactions by hydroxyl radicals generated by the Fenton reaction is of minor importance and hence metal-dependent oxidative stress must be rather independent of the so-called “peroxide tone”. Furthermore, it is proposed that — in the low (subtoxic) concentration range — hydroxylated compounds derived from reactions of “non-free” (crypto) OH radicals are better candidates for iron-dependent sensing of redox-states and for explaining the origin of cellular signals than the generation of “free” hydroxyl radicals. 相似文献

The effect of different oxygen radical-generating systems on NAD(P)H was determined by incubating the reduced forms of the pyridine coenzymes with either Fe2+-H2O2 or Fe3+-ascorbate and by analyzing the reaction mixtures using a HPLC separation of adenine nucleotide derivatives. The effect of the azo-initiator 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine)dihydrochloride was also tested. Results showed that, whilst all the three free radical-producing systems induced, with different extent, the oxidation of NAD(P)H to NAD(P)+, only Fe2+-H2O2 also caused the formation of equimolar amounts of ADP-ribose(P) and nicotinamide. Dose-dependent experiments, with increasing Fe2+ iron (concentration range 3-180 μM) or H2O2 (concentration range 50-1000 μM), were carried out at pH 6.5 in 50 mM ammonium acetate. NAD(P)+, ADP-ribose(P) and nicotinamide formation increased by increasing the amount of hydroxyl radicals produced in the medium. Under such incubation conditions NAD(P)+/ADP-ribose(P) ratio was about 4 at any Fe2+ or H2O2 concentration. By varying pH to 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0 and 7.4, NAD(P)+/ADP-ribose(P) ratio changed to 5.5, 3.2, 1.8, 1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 5.4 and 6.5, respectively. Kinetic experiments indicated that 90-95% of all compounds were generated within 5s from the beginning of the Fenton reaction. Inhibition of ADP-ribose(P), nicotinamide and NAD(P)+ production of Fe2+-H2O2-treated NAD(P)H samples, was achieved by adding mannitol (10-50 mM) to the reaction mixture. Differently, selective and total inhibition of ADP-ribose(P) and nicotinamide formation was obtained by performing the Fenton reaction in an almost completely anhydrous medium, i.e. in HPLC-grade methanol. Experiments carried out in isolated postischemic rat hearts perfused with 50 mM mannitol, showed that, with respect to values of control hearts, this hydroxyl radical scavenger prevented reperfusion-associated pyridine coenzyme depletion and ADP-ribose formation. On the basis of these results, a possible mechanism of action of ADP-ribose(P) and nicotinamide generation through the interaction between NAD(P)H and hydroxyl radical (which does not involve the C-center where “conventional” oxidation occurs) is presented. The implication of this phenomenon in the pyridine coenzyme depletion observed in postischemic tissues is also discussed. 相似文献

Abstract: Many forms of Fe(II) react with H2 02 to generate hydroxyl radicals (Fenton reaction). There is evidence that hydroxyl radicals are important in brown-rot, while they can be formed by secondary reactions during lignin breakdown by white-rot fungi. Their involvement in cellulose breakdown creates a range of oxidized sugars. The two reactants of Fenton's reagent can be generated by Fe(II) autoxidation, or by superoxide in reaction with Fe(III). A rapid autoxidation is not possible for complexes with a high Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox potential. Turning to specific pathways for formation of Fenton's reagent, decomposition of Fe(III)-oxalate is probably solely a photochemical process. Lignin peroxidases can act indirectly as a source of superoxide, either by reactions that lead to a peroxyradical, or by 1-electron oxidation of an aliphatic compound creating a strong reductant. Cellobiose dehydrogenase can provide a direct enzymic source for Fenton's reagent (S.M. Kremer and P.M. Wood (1992) Eur. J. Biochem. 208, 807–814). In the experiments as published, hydroxyl radical production was limited by the slow interaction of cellobiose dehydrogenase with O2 . This limitation can be removed by the presence of an iron complex with an autoxidizable Fe(lI) state. The successful use of Fenton's reagent by a living organism requires a spatial separation between initiating enzyme(s) and the site of production of hydroxyl radicals. The mobility of the extra electron on Fe(II) by intermolecular transfer may be important for achieving this separation. 相似文献

Organic hydroperoxides can replace NADPH in supporting the oxidation of ethanol by liver microsomes. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the role of hydroxyl radicals in the organic hydroperoxide-catalyzed reaction. Maximum rates of ethanol oxidation occurred in the presence of either 0.5 mM cumene hydroperoxide or 2.5 mM t-butyl hydroperoxide and were linear for 2 to 4 min. The Km for ethanol was about 12 mM and Vmax was about 8 nmol ethanol oxidized/min/mg microsomal protein. Besides ethanol, the organic hydroperoxides supported the oxidation of longer-chain alcohols (1-butanol), and secondary alcohols (isopropanol). The organic hydroperoxide-supported oxidation of alcohols was not affected by several hydroxyl-radical scavengers such as dimethylsulfoxide, mannitol, or 2-keto-4-thiomethylbutyrate which blocked NADPH-dependent oxidation of alcohols by 50% or more. Iron-EDTA, which increases the production of hydroxyl radicals, increased the NADPH-dependent oxidation of ethanol, whereas desferrioxamine, which blocks the production of hydroxyl radicals, inhibited the NADPH-dependent oxidation of ethanol. Neither iron-EDTA nor desferrioxamine had any effect on the organic hydroperoxide-supported oxidation of ethanol. Cumene-and t-butyl hydroperoxide did not support microsomal oxidation of hydroxyl-radical scavengers. These results suggest that, in contrast to the NADPH-dependent oxidation of ethanol, free-hydroxyl radicals do not play a role in the organic hydroperoxide-dependent oxidation of ethanol by microsomes. Ethanol appears to be oxidized by two pathways in microsomes, one which is dependent on hydroxyl radicals, and the other which appears to be independent of these oxygen radicals. 相似文献

Allopurinol has been employed as a “specific” inhihitor of xanthine oxidase in studies of hypoxic/ reoxygenation injury. Pulse radiolysis was used to establish rate constants for the reactions of allopurinol and its major metabolite oxypurinol with hydroxyl radicals: values were (1.45 ± 0.241 × 109 M-1 s-1 for allopurinol and (4.95 ± 0.84) × 109 M-1 s-1 for oxypurinol. These rate constants show that, in view of the amounts of allopurinol that have been used in animal studies. hydroxyl radical scavenging by this molecule could contribute to its biological actions. especially if animals are pre-treated with allopurinol. so allowing oxypurinol to form. The ability of allopurinol to protect tissues not containing xanthine oxidase against reoxygenation injury may be related to radical scavenging by allopurinol and oxypurinol. 相似文献

Hemoglobin: A mechanism for the generation of hydroxyl radicals 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) reduces Fe(III) NTA aerobically to become methemoglobin (metHb) and Fe(II)NTA. These conditions are favorable for the generation via Fenton chemistry of the hydroxyl radical that was measured by HPLC using salicylate as a probe. The levels of hydroxyl radicals generated are a function of both the percent metHb formed and the chemical nature of the buffer. The rates of formation of both metHb and hydroxyl radicals were dependent upon the concentration of Fe(III)NTA. Of the buffers tested, HEPES was the most effective scavenger of hydroxyl radicals while the other buffers scavenged in the order: HEPES > Tris > MOPS > NaCl ≈ unbuffered. The addition of catalase to remove H202 or bathophenanthroline to chelate Fe(II) inhibited virtually all hydroxyl radical formation. Carbonyl formation from free radical oxidation of amino acids was found to be 0.1 mol/mol of hemoglobin. These experiments demonstrate the ability of hemoglobin to participate directly in the generation of hydroxyl radicals mediated by redox metals, and provide insight into potential oxidative damage from metals released into the blood during some pathologic disorders including iron overload. 相似文献

Nitric oxide, a gaseous free radical, is poorly reactive with most biomolecules but highly reactive with other free radicals. Its ability to scavenge peroxyl and other damaging radicals may make it an important antioxidant in vivo, particular in the cardiovascular system, although this ability has been somewhat eclipsed in the literature by a focus on the toxicity of peroxynitrite, generated by reaction of O·-2 with NO· (or of NO- with O2). On balance, experimental and theoretical data support the view that ONOO- can lead to hydroxyl radical (OH·) generation at pH 7.4, but it seems unlikely that OH· contributes much to the cytotoxicity of ONOO-. The cytotoxicity of ONOO- may have been over-emphasized: its formation and rapid reaction with antioxidants may provide a mechanism of using NO· to dispose of excess O·-2, or even of using O·-2 to dispose of excess NO·, in order to maintain the correct balance between these radicals in vivo. Injection or instillation of “bolus” ONOO- into animals has produced tissue injury, however, although more experiments generating ONOO- at steady rates in vivo are required. The presence of 3-nitrotyrosine in tissues is still frequently taken as evidence of ONOO- generation in vivo, but abundant evidence now exists to support the view that it is a biomarker of several “reactive nitrogen species”. Another under-addressed problem is the reliability of assays used to detect and measure 3-nitrotyrosine in tissues and body fluids: immunostaining results vary between laboratories and simple HPLC methods are susceptible to artefacts. Exposure of biological material to low pH (e.g. during acidic hydrolysis to liberate nitrotyrosine from proteins) or to H2O2 might cause artefactual generation of nitrotyrosine from NO-2 in the samples. This may be the origin of some of the very large values for tissue nitrotyrosine levels quoted in the literature. Nitrous acid causes not only tyrosine nitration but also DNA base deamination at low pH: these events are relevant to the human stomach since saliva and many foods are rich in nitrite. Several plant phenolics inhibit nitration and deamination in vitro, an effect that could conceivably contribute to their protective effects against gastric cancer development. 相似文献

Genotoxicity of singlet oxygen 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Singlet oxygen, 1O2(1Δg), fulfills essential prerequisites for a genotoxic substance, like hydroxyl radicals and other oxygen radicals: it can react efficiently with DNA and it can be generated inside cells, e.g. by photosensitization and enzymatic oxidation. As might be anticipated from the non-radical character of singlet oxygen, the pattern of DNA modifications it produces is very different from that caused by hydroxyl radicals. While hydroxyl radicals produce DNA strand breaks and sites of base loss (AP sites) in high yield and react with all four bases of DNA, singlet oxygen generates predominantly modified guanine residues and few strand breaks and AP sites. There is now convincing evidence that a major product of base modification caused by singlet oxygen is 8-hydroxyguanine (7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine). Indeed, the recently reported miscoding properties of 8-hydroxyguanine can explain the predominant type of mutations observed when DNA modified by singlet oxygen is replicated in cells. There are also strong indications that singlet oxygen generated by photosensitization can act as an ultimate DNA modifying species inside cells. However, indirect genotoxic mechanisms involving other reactive oxygen species produced from singlet oxygen are also possible and appear to predominate in some cases. The cellular defense system against oxidants consists of effective singlet oxygen scavengers such as carotenoids. The observation that carotenoids can inhibit neoplastic cell transformation when administered not only together with but also after the application of chemical or physical carcinogens might indicate a role of singlet oxygen in tumor promotion that could be independent of the direct or indirect DNA damaging properties. 相似文献

The effect of EDTA and iron on the oxidation of hydroxyl radical scavenging agents and ethanol by rat liver microsomes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Rat liver microsomes catalyzed an NADPH-dependent oxidation of dimethylsulfoxide, 2-keto-4-thiomethylbutyrate and ethanol. The addition of EDTA and iron (ferric)-EDTA increased the oxidation of the hydroxyl radical scavenging agents and ethanol. Unchelated iron had no effect; therefore, appropriately chelated iron is required to stimulate microsomal production of hydroxyl radicals. Catalase strongly inhibited control rates as well as EDTA or iron-EDTA stimulated rates of hydroxyl radical production whereas superoxide dismutase had no effect. The rate of ethanol oxidation was ten- to twenty-fold greater than the rate of oxidation of hydroxyl radical scavengers in the absence of EDTA or iron-EDTA, suggesting little contribution by hydroxyl radicals in the pathway of ethanol oxidation. In the presence of EDTA or iron-EDTA, the rate of ethanol oxidation increased, and under these conditions, hydroxyl radicals appear to play a more significant role in contributing toward the overall oxidation of ethanol. 相似文献

The effect of activated oxygen species on human hemoglobins was studied. All radicals induced polymerization in Hb A both intermolecular and by cross-linking of subunits (intramolecular). However, a system producing mainly superoxide ion gave the most important changes. An oxidation step is necessary to produce polymerization since in the case of cyanmet Hb A (where there is no possible oxidation) no polymerization occurs. The effect of O-2 on blocked SH β 93 Hbs or on the abnormal Hbs tested was practically identical to that on Hb A although their autoxidation rates were modified. Consequently the action of radicals is different from autoxidation processes and the modified residues in the abnormal hemoglobins are not involved in the action of superoxide ion on Hb.
The kinetics of oxidation of Hb by H2O2 followed two steps: the first is the oxidation of oxy Hb to ferri Hb and the second is hemichrome formation. This last step is independent of the presence of H2O2 since it is not inhibited by catalase. The kinetics of oxidation to ferri Hb were of second order and the rate constant was found to be 16 M-1 sec-1. 相似文献

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) was used as a marker molecule to clarify the mechanism of gastric mucosal damage as a side effect of using piroxicam. Piroxicam inactivated ADH during interaction of ADH with horseradish peroxidase and H2O2 (HRP-H2O2). The ADH was more easily inactivated under aerobic than anaerobic conditions, indicating participation by oxygen. Superoxide dismutase, but not hydroxyl radical scavengers, inhibited inactivation of ADH, indicating participation by superoxide. Sulfhydryl (SH) groups in ADH were lost during incubation of piroxicam with HRP-H2O2. Adding reduced glutathione (GSH) efficiently blocked ADH inactivation. Other SH enzymes, including creatine kinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, were also inactivated by piroxicam with HRP-H2O2. Thus SH groups in the enzymes seem vulnerable to piroxicam activated by HRP-H2O2. Spectral change in piroxicam was caused by HRP-H2O2. ESR signals of glutathionyl radicals occurred during incubation of piroxicam with HRP-H2O2 in the presence of GSH. Under anaerobic conditions, glutathionyl radical formation increased. Thus piroxicam free radicals interact with GSH to produce glutathionyl radicals. Piroxicam peroxyl radicals or superoxide, or both, seem to inactivate ADH. Superoxide may be produced through interaction of peroxyl radicals with H2O2. Thus superoxide dismutase may inhibit inactivation of ADH through reducing piroxicam peroxyl radicals or blocking interaction of SH groups with O2-, or both. Other oxicam derivatives, including isoxicam, tenoxicam and meloxicam, induced ADH inactivation in the presence of HRP-H2O2. 相似文献

Analysis of dichlorodihydrofluorescein and dihydrocalcein as probes for the detection of intracellular reactive oxygen species 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Dihydrocalcein (H2-calcein) is recommended as a superior probe for intracellular radical (ROS) detection as different to dichlorodihydrofluorescein (H2-DCF), its oxidation product calcein is thought not to leak out of cells. We determined whether H2-calcein is a useful tool to measure ROS in vascular smooth muscle cells. In vitro, both compounds were oxidized by peroxynitrite, hydroxyl radicals and peroxidase, but not hydrogen peroxide or nitric oxide. The intracellular half-life of calcein was several hours whereas that of DCF was approximately 5 min. Intracellular ROS, as generated by the angiotensin II (Ang II)-activated NADPH oxidase, did not increase the oxidation of H2-calcein but increased the oxidation of H2-DCF by approximately 50%. Similar changes were detected using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Inhibition of the NADPH oxidase using gp91ds-tat prevented the Ang II-induced increase in DCF fluorescence, without affecting cells loaded with H2-calcein. Diphenylene iodonium (DPI), which inhibits all flavin-dependent enzymes, including those in the respiratory chain, had little effect on the basal but prevented the Ang II-induced oxidation of H2-DCF. In contrast, DPI inhibited H2-calcein oxidation in non-stimulated cells by almost 50%. Blockade of respiratory chain complex I inhibited H2-calcein oxidation, whereas inhibitors of complex III were without effect. Calcein accumulated in the mitochondria, whereas DCF was localized in the cytoplasm. In submitochondrial particles, H2-calcein, but not H2-DCF inhibited complex I activity.
These observations indicate that H2-DCF is an indicator for intracellular ROS, whereas the oxidation of H2-calcein most likely occurs as a consequence of direct electron transfer to mitochondrial complex I. 相似文献
