1. The photochemical generation of excited states of oxygen in liver cell culture by the mild ilumination of culture medium containing riboflavin, results in stimulation of benzo[a]pyrene 3-mono-oxygenase, a cytochrome P-450-linked mono-oxygenase. 2. The same large increase in mono-oxygenase activity was found when medium containing riboflavin was illuminated in the absence of cells and then stored in the dark for 24h before contact with the cells. From this it may be inferred that stimulation is due to the formation of a stable inducer in the culture medium. Further experiments indicate that the stable inducer is due to the photo-oxidation of an amino acid. 3. Evidence that singlet oxygen is responsible for initiating the stimulation of the mono-oxygenase is based on the use of molecules that scavenge particular active oxygen species. Of all the scavengers tested, only those that scavenge single oxygen inhibited the stimulation. 4. A hypothesis is developed to relate the stimulation of the mono-oxygenase by singlet oxygen in cultured cells to the regulation of the cytochrome P-450 enzyme system in vivo. It is suggested that single oxygen generation within cells may be a common factor linking the many structurally diverse inducers of the enzyme system. 相似文献

Riboflavin sensitized photodynamic modifications of high molecular weight Kininogen (HMWK) isolated from sheep (Avis-arias) plasma leads to inactivation of antiproteinase activity and formation of aggregated products. A continued disappearance of the inhibitory activity towards papain and formation of high molecular weight adducts was observed with increasing concentration of riboflavin and varying time periods of incubation reaching a maximum value of over 85% (loss in activity). Aggregates resisted dissociation upon heating at 100°C in 1% SDS. Aggregation and photoinactivation of HMWK was promoted by the substitution of H2O for deuterium oxide (D2O), which is known to prolong the life span of singlet oxygen, and suppressed by sodium azide a known singlet oxygen quencher. Mannitol and thiourea (hydroxyl radical scavenger) did not protect the antiproteinase activity of HMWK. Treatment with reducing agent resulted in decrease of the aggregated products suggesting the possible involvement of disulfide linkages in protein crosslinking. Tryptophan fluorescence was completely lost and significant production of dityrosine was detected in photoinactivated HMWK aggregates. Changes in the far Ultra violet circular dichroism (u.v.c.d.) spectrum of HMWK was indicative of loss of secondary structure. Analysis of modifications induced in HMWK by riboflavin reveals that the processes proceed via a singlet oxygen mediated pathway. It is concluded that the susceptibility of HMWK to oxidation may arise from oxidative modifications by reactive oxygen species generated in plasma. 相似文献

The kinetics and mechanistic aspects of the riboflavin-photosensitised oxidation of the topically administrable ophthalmic drugs Timolol (Tim) and Pindolol (Pin) were investigated in water-MeOH (9:1, v/v) solution employing light of wavelength > 400 nm. riboflavin, belonging to the vitamin B(2) complex, is a known human endogenous photosensitiser. The irradiation of riboflavin in the presence of ophthalmic drugs triggers a complex picture of competitive reactions which produces the photodegradation of both the drugs and the pigment itself. The mechanism was elucidated employing stationary photolysis, polarographic detection of dissolved oxygen, stationary and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, and laser flash photolysis. Ophthalmic drugs quench riboflavin-excited singlet and triplet states. From the quenching of excited triplet riboflavin, the semireduced form of the pigment is generated, through an electron transfer process from the drug, with the subsequent production of superoxide anion radical (O(2)(*-)) by reaction with dissolved molecular oxygen. Through the interaction of dissolved oxygen with excited triplet riboflavin, the species singlet oxygen (O(2)((1)Delta(g))) is also generated to a lesser extent. Both O(2)(*-) and O(2)((1)Delta(g)) induce photodegradation of ophthalmic drugs, Tim being approximately 3-fold more easily photooxidisable than Pin, as estimated by oxygen consumption experiments. 相似文献

Summary The photodynamic inactivation of lysozyme in air saturated H2O and D2O (phosphate buffer 0.05 M, pH 7.0) in the presence of methylene blue and riboflavin has been studied. When H2O was replaced by D2O a great increase in the rate of photoinactivation of lysozyme was observed. This finding, together with the fact that photooxidation is inhibited by singlet oxygen quenchers like NaN3, suggests that these reactions occur via a singlet oxygen mechanism.During the course of the studies of the riboflavin sensitized photoinactivation of lysozyme, it was found that riboflavin is strongly bound to the enzyme as a result of illumination. This finding would explain the higher quantum yield observed when riboflavin is used, although this dye is bleached during irradiation. 相似文献

On exposure to visible light, riboflavin and lumiflavin produced reactive oxygen species such as singlet oxygen and superoxide radicals. The reaction was found to be time- and concentration-dependent. Both riboflavin and lumiflavin, upon illumination, showed mutagenic response in the umu test as well as in the Ames/Salmonella assay with Salmonella typhimurium TA102. The mutagenic response was partially abolished by superoxide dismutase while sodium azide did not have any effect. No mutagenicity was observed if the compounds were not illuminated. The results suggested the involvement of superoxide radicals in light-induced mutagenicity of riboflavin as well as lumiflavin. 相似文献

UVA light (320-400 nm) has been shown to produce deleterious biological effects in tissue due to the generation of singlet oxygen by substances like flavins or urocanic acid. Riboflavin, flavin mononucleotide (FMN), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), and beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), urocanic acid, or cholesterol in solution were excited at 355 nm. Singlet oxygen was directly detected by time-resolved measurement of its luminescence at 1270 nm. NAD, NADP, and cholesterol showed no luminescence signal possibly due to the very low absorption coefficient at 355 nm. Singlet oxygen luminescence of urocanic acid was clearly detected but the signal was too weak to quantify a quantum yield. The quantum yield of singlet oxygen was precisely determined for riboflavin (PhiDelta = 0.54 +/- 0.07), FMN (PhiDelta = 0.51 +/- 0.07), and FAD (PhiDelta = 0.07 +/- 0.02). In aerated solution, riboflavin and FMN generate more singlet oxygen than exogenous photosensitizers such as Photofrin, which are applied in photodynamic therapy to kill cancer cells. With decreasing oxygen concentration, the quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation decreased, which must be considered when assessing the role of singlet oxygen at low oxygen concentrations (inside tissue). 相似文献

The photochemical generation of excited states of oxygen by the mild illumination of culture medium containing 15 μM riboflavin results in a typical induction of benzo[a]pyrene-3-mono-oxygenase in cell lines derived from liver. However, the induction of the mono-oxygenase is not due to an excited state of oxygen directly activating the inducing mechanism inside the cell but is due to the oxidation of a component of the culture medium forming a stable inducer. The present work unequivocably shows that the component oxidised is histidine. The mild illumination of culture medium containing riboflavin therefore converts a physiological component of the medium which is not normally an inducer of the mono-oxygenase into a compound which is as effective an inducer as the classical inducer. The finding that singlet oxygen will oxidise a cell constituent into a powerful inducer is compatible with the hypothesis that excited states of oxygen and their oxidation products may play a central role in the induction of cytochrome P-450 and associated enzyme activities by many chemically unrelated inducers. 相似文献

Biological effects of ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation have been ascribed to the photochemical generation of singlet oxygen. Not all effects described in the literature, however, are explicable solely by the generation of singlet oxygen, but rather resemble effects elicited by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). Here, we show that when cells are kept in cell culture media during exposure to UVA, stress kinases, including ERK 1 and ERK 2 as well as Akt (protein kinase B), are activated, whereas there is no or only minor activation when cells are kept in phosphate-buffered saline during irradiation. Indeed, the exposure of cell culture media to UVA (30 J/cm 2 ) results in the generation of significant amounts of H 2 O 2 , with concentrations of about 100 w M. H 2 O 2 concentrations are at least three-fold higher in HEPES-buffered culture media after UVA irradiation. From experiments with solutions of riboflavin, tryptophan or HEPES, as well as combinations thereof, it is concluded that riboflavin mediates the photooxidation of either tryptophan or HEPES, resulting in the generation of H 2 O 2 . Thus, if signaling effects of UVA radiation are to be investigated in cell culture systems, riboflavin and HEPES/tryptophan should be avoided during irradiation because of artificial H 2 O 2 generation. It should be taken into account, however, that in vivo tryptophan and riboflavin might play an important role in the generation of reactive oxygen species by UVA as both substances are abundant in living tissues. 相似文献

A detailed in vitro study was made of the riboflavin sensitized photodestruction of mitomycin C. The dependences of the quantum yield in the system were examined on the introduction of various amounts of quenchers, such as halogen ion, paramagnetic ion, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, and p-hydroquinone. The results are consistent with a mechanism involving oxygen molecule in the excited singlet state as the photochemically reactive species. The rate constant of the reaction between the excited singlet oxygen and mitomycin C was calculated to be 8.9 x 10(9) M-1.S-1. 相似文献

The photochemical fate of riboflavin (vitamin B2) in the presence of barbituric acid was examined employing polarographic detection of dissolved oxygen and steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy. Under visible light, riboflavin reacts with barbituric acid--the latter being transparent to this type of photo-irradiation--via radicals and reactive oxygen species, such as singlet molecular oxygen [O2(1delta(g))] and superoxide radical anion, which are generated from the excited triplet state of the vitamin. As a result, both the vitamin and barbituric acid are photodegraded. Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the photoreactions of riboflavin in the presence of barbituric acid indicate the excellent quenching ability of the latter towards O2(1delta(g)). 相似文献

Tobacco abuse remains a major cause of death worldwide despite ample evidence linking nicotine to various disease states. Consequently, immunopharmacotherapeutic approaches for the treatment of nicotine abuse have received increasing attention. Although a number of nicotine-binding antibodies have been disclosed, no antibody catalysts exist which efficiently degrade nicotine into pharmacologically inactive substances. Herein, we report the first catalytic antibodies which can oxidatively degrade nicotine. These biocatalysts use the micronutrient riboflavin and visible light as a source of singlet oxygen for the production of reactive oxygen species. Along with various known nicotine metabolites, antibody-catalyzed nicotine oxidations produce two novel nicotine oxidation products that were also detected in control ozonation reactions of nicotine. The reaction is efficient, with multiple turnovers of catalyst observed and total consumption of nicotine attained. These results demonstrate the potential of harnessing riboflavin as an endogenous sensitizer for antibody-catalyzed oxidations and demonstrate a new approach for the development of an active vaccine for the treatment of nicotine addiction using in vivo catalytically active antibodies. 相似文献

We have analyzed the recognition by various repair endonucleases of DNA base modifications induced by three oxidants, viz. [4-(tert-butyldioxycarbonyl)benzyl]triethylammonium chloride (BCBT), a photochemical source of tert-butoxyl radicals, disodium salt of 1,4-etheno-2,3-benzodioxin-1,4-dipropanoic acid (NDPO(2)), a chemical source of singlet oxygen, and riboflavin, a type-I photosensitizer. The base modifications induced by BCBT, which were previously shown to be mostly 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoGua) residues, were recognized by Fpg and Ogg1 proteins, but not by endonuclease IIII, Ntg1 and Ntg2 proteins. In the case of singlet oxygen induced damage, 8-oxoGua accounted for only 35% of the base modifications recognized by Fpg protein. The remaining Fpg-sensitive modifications were not recognized by Ogg1 protein and relatively poor by endonuclease III, but they were relatively good substrates of Ntg1 and Ntg2. In the case of the damage induced by photoexcited riboflavin, the fraction of Fpg-sensitive base modifications identified as 8-oxoGua was only 23%. In contrast to the damage induced by singlet oxygen, the remaining lesions were not only recognized by Ntg1 and Ntg2 proteins and (relatively poor) by endonuclease III, but also by Ogg1 protein. The analysis of the mutations observed after transfection of modified plasmid pSV2gpt into Escherichia coli revealed that all agents induced near exclusively GC-->TA and GC-->CG transversions, the numbers of which were correlated with the numbers of 8-oxoGua residues and Ntg-sensitive modifications, respectively. In conclusion, both singlet oxygen and the type-I photosensitizer riboflavin induce predominantly oxidative guanine modifications other than 8-oxoGua, which most probably give rise to GC-->CG transversions and in which eukaryotic cells are substrates of Ntg1 and Ntg2 proteins. 相似文献

Effect of proline on the production of singlet oxygen 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Molecular oxygen in electronic singlet state is a very powerful oxidant. Its damaging action in a variety of biological processes has been well recognized. Here we report the singlet oxygen quenching action of proline. Singlet oxygen (1O2) was produced photochemically by irradiating a solution of sensitiser and detected by following the formation of stable nitroxide radical yielded in the reaction of 1O2 with the sterically hindered amine (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, TEMP). Illumination of a sensitiser, toluidine blue led to a time dependent increase in singlet oxygen production as detected by the formation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) by EPR spectrometry. Interestingly, the production of TEMPO was completely abolished by the presence of proline at concentration as low as 20mM. These results show that proline is a very effective singlet oxygen quencher. Other singlet oxygen generating photosensitizer like hematopophyrin and fluorescein also produced identical results with proline. Since proline is one of the important solutes which accumulate in many organisms when they are exposed to environmental stresses, it is likely that proline accumulation is related to the protection of these organisms against singlet oxygen production during stress conditions. A possible mechanism of singlet oxygen quenching by proline is discussed. 相似文献

The results of the present investigation show the susceptibility of tyrosine to undergo visible light-induced photomodification
to 3-nitrotyrosine in the presence of nitrite and riboflavin, as sensitizer. By changing H2O by D2O, it could be established that singlet oxygen has a minor role in the reaction. The finding that nitration of tyrosine still
occurred to a large extent under anaerobic conditions indicates that the process proceeds mainly through a type I mechanism,
which involves the direct interaction of the excited state of riboflavin with tyrosine and nitrite to give tyrosyl radical
and nitrogen dioxide radical, respectively. The tyrosyl radicals can either dimerize to yield 3,3′-dityrosine or combine with
nitrogen dioxide radical to form 3-nitrotyrosine. The formation of 3-nitrotyrosine was found to increase with the concentration
of nitrite added and was accompanied by a decrease in the recovery of 3,3′-dityrosine, suggesting that tyrosine nitration
competes with dimerization reaction. The riboflavin photosensitizing reaction in the presence of nitrite was also able to
induce nitration of tyrosine residues in proteins as revealed by the spectral changes at 430 nm, a characteristic absorbance
of 3-nitrotyrosine, and by immunoreactivity using 3-nitrotyrosine antibodies. Since riboflavin and nitrite are both present
endogenously in living organism, it is suggested that this pathway of tyrosine nitration may potentially occur in tissues
and organs exposed to sunlight such as skin and eye. 相似文献

A new decyl chain [−(CH2)9CH3] riboflavin conjugate has been synthesized and investigated. A nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction was used for coupling the alkyl chain to riboflavin (Rf), a model natural photosensitizer. As expected, the alkylated compound (decyl-Rf) is significantly more lipophilic than its precursor and efficiently intercalates within phospholipid bilayers, increasing its fluorescence quantum yield. The oxidative damage to lipid membranes photoinduced by decyl-Rf was investigated in large and giant unilamellar vesicles (LUVs and GUVs, respectively) composed of different phospholipids. Using a fluorogenic probe, fast radical formation and singlet oxygen generation was demonstrated upon UVA irradiation in vesicles containing decyl-Rf. Photosensitized formation of conjugated dienes and hydroperoxides, and membrane leakage in LUVs rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids were also investigated. The overall assessment of the results shows that decyl-Rf is a significantly more efficient photosensitizer of lipids than its unsubstituted precursor and that the association to lipid membranes is key to trigger phospholipid oxidation. Alkylation of hydrophilic photosensitizers as a simple and general synthetic tool to obtain efficient photosensitizers of biomembranes, with potential applications, is discussed. 相似文献

Vitamin E offers protection against oxidative stress and is an efficient quencher of singlet oxygen. A recent report suggests that photo-excitation of vitamin E results in the formation of a triplet state (Naqvi et al. Photochem Photobiol Sci 2, 381 (2003)). This leads to the possibility of the triplet state of vitamin E being able to sensitize singlet oxygen and if this is the case it would be counter productive in terms of the biological protective function of vitamin E. We report the production of singlet oxygen, detected by 1270 nm luminescence, from pulsed laser excitation (308 nm) of vitamin E and an analogue, 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-hydroxy-chroman (PMHC), with quantum yields between ∼0.1 and 0.2. The luminescence was identified as singlet oxygen from self-quenching by vitamin E with solvent-dependent rate constants similar to published values. Whilst the beneficial antioxidant aspects of vitamin E are well established, these results indicate that vitamin E when directly excited can sensitize singlet oxygen formation and may, therefore, be capable of inducing biochemical and biological damage. The results are discussed in relation to recent reports on the deleterious effects of vitamin E dietary supplementation and pro-oxidant effects of vitamin E. 相似文献

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that bind invading microbes are pivotal for innate host defense. There is a growing body of evidence for the significance of NETs in the pathogenesis of infectious and inflammatory diseases, but the mechanism of NET formation remains unclear. Previous observation in neutrophils of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients, which defect NADPH oxidase (Nox) and fail to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), revealed that ROS contributed to the formation of NETs. However, the active species were not identified. In this study, we discovered that singlet oxygen, one of the ROS, mediated Nox-dependent NET formation upon stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate. We also revealed that singlet oxygen itself could induce NET formation by a distinct system generating singlet oxygen with porfimer sodium (Photofrin) in CGD neutrophils, as well as healthy neutrophils. This was independent of Nox activation. These results show that singlet oxygen is essential for NET formation, and provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of infectious and inflammatory diseases. 相似文献
