Production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) is an important part of the inflammatory response, but prolonged elevated levels of ROS/RNS as under chronic inflammation can contribute to the development of disease. Monitoring ROS/RNS in living animals is challenging due to the rapid turnover of ROS/RNS and the limited sensitivity and specificity of ROS/RNS probes. We have explored the use of the chemiluminescent probe L-012 for noninvasive imaging of ROS/RNS production during inflammation in living mice. Various inflammatory conditions were induced, and L-012-dependent luminescence was recorded with an ultrasensitive CCD camera. Strong luminescent signals were observed from different regions of the body corresponding to inflammation. The signal was reduced by administration of the SOD mimetic tempol, the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin, and the inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis L-NAME, signifying the requirement for the presence of ROS/RNS. Additionally, the L-012 signal was abolished in mice with a mutation in the Ncf1 gene, encoding a protein in the NADPH oxidase complex 2, which generates ROS/RNS during inflammation. In conclusion, L-012 is well distributed in the mouse body and mediates a strong ROS/RNS-dependent luminescent signal in vivo and is useful for monitoring the development and regulation of inflammation in living organisms. 相似文献

A novel approach for the simultaneous optical and electrochemical detection of biologically produced reactive oxygen species has been developed and applied. The set-up consists of a luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay combined with two amperometric biosensors sensitive to superoxide anion radicals (O(2)(-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), respectively. The method permits direct, real-time in vitro determination of both extra- and intracellular O(2)(-) and H(2)O(2) produced by human neutrophil granulocytes. The rate of O(2)(-) production by stimulated neutrophils was calculated to about 10(-17)mol s(-1) per single cell. With inhibited NADPH oxidase, a distinct extracellular release of H(2)O(2) instead of O(2)(-) was obtained from stimulated neutrophils with the rate of about 3 x 10(-18)mol s(-1) per single cell. When the H(2)O(2) release was discontinued, fast H(2)O(2) utilisation was observed. Direct interaction with and possibly attachment of neutrophils to redox protein-modified gold electrodes, resulted in a spontaneous respiratory burst in the population of cells closely associated to the electrode surface. Hence, further stimulation of human neutrophils with a potent receptor agonist (fMLF) did not significantly increase the O(2)(-) sensitive amperometric response. By contrast, the H(2)O(2) sensitive biosensor, based on an HRP-modified graphite electrode, was able to reflect the bulk concentration of H(2)O(2), produced by stimulated neutrophils and would be very useful in modestly equipped biomedical research laboratories. In summary, the system would also be appropriate for assessment of several other metabolites in different cell types, and tissues of varying complexity, with only minor electrode modifications. 相似文献

Addition of oxygen to whole cells of Escherichia coli suspended in the presence of the chemiluminescent probe bis-N-methylacridinium nitrate (lucigenin) resulted in a light emission increase of 200% of control. Addition of air to cells showed a chemiluminescent response far less than the response to oxygen. The redox cycling agents paraquat and menadione, which are known to increase intracellular production of O2- and H2O2, were also found to cause a measurable increase in lucigenin chemiluminescence in E. coli cells when added at concentrations of 1 and 0.1 mM, respectively. The oxygen-induced chemiluminescent response was not suppressed by extracellularly added superoxide dismutase or catalase. Further, the lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescent response of aerobically grown E. coli to oxygen was significantly greater than that of cells grown anaerobically. Heat-killed cells showed no increase in chemiluminescence on the addition of either oxygen, paraquat, or menadione. These results show that lucigenin may be used as a chemiluminescent probe to demonstrate continuous intracellular production of reactive oxygen metabolites in E. coli. 相似文献

Luminol chemiluminescence was used to evaluate the scavenging of superoxide, hydroxyl and alkoxy radicals by four antioxidants: dipyridamole, diethyldithiocarbamic acid, (+)catechin, and ascorbic acid. Different concentrations of these compounds were compared with well-known oxygen radical scavengers in their capacity to inhibit the chemiluminescence produced in the reaction between luminol and specific oxygen radicals. Hydroxyl radicals were generated using the Fenton reaction and these produced chemiluminescence which was inhibited by diethyldithiocarbamate. Alkoxy radicals were generated using the reaction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide and ferrous ion and produced chemiluminescence which was inhibited equally by all of the compounds tested. For the determination of superoxide scavengers we describe a new, simple, economic, and rapid chemiluminescence method consisting of the reaction between luminol and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). With this method it was found that 40 nmol/l dipyridamole, 0.18 μmol/l ascorbic acid, 0.23 μmol/l (+)catechin, and 3 μmol/l diethyldithiocarbamic acid are equivalent to 3.9 ng/ml superoxide dismutase (specific scavenger of superoxide) in causing the same degree of chemiluminescence inhibition. These results not only indicated that the antioxidative properties of these compounds showed different degrees of effectiveness against a particular radical but also that they may exert their action against more than one radical. 相似文献

Between 15% and 20% of human cancers are associated with infection by oncogenic viruses. Oncogenic viruses, including HPV, HBV, HCV and HTLV-1, target mitochondria to influence cell proliferation and survival. Oncogenic viral gene products also trigger the production of reactive oxygen species which can elicit oxidative DNA damage and potentiate oncogenic host signaling pathways. Viral oncogenes may also subvert mitochondria quality control mechanisms such as mitophagy and metabolic adaptation pathways to promote virus replication. Here, we will review recent progress on viral regulation of mitophagy and metabolic adaptation and their roles in viral oncogenesis. 相似文献

Upon stimulation by various ligands and membrane perturbers, neutrophils produce various active oxygen species. Since luminol chemiluminescence (LCL) in neutrophils can be blocked by azide, an inhibitor of myeloperoxidase, LCL has been believed to reflect mainly the myeloperoxidase-catalyzed reaction. When cells were stimulated by formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, LCL was strongly inhibited by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and uric acid, a scavenger for hydroxy radical (.OH) and singlet oxygen, whereas it was stimulated by azide. LCL was also inhibited by .OH scavengers, such as mannitol, ethanol, and dimethylsulfoxide. However, when stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate or opsonized zymosan, LCL was strongly inhibited by azide but not by uric acid, and the inhibitory action of SOD was low. Thus, the qualitative and quantitative aspects of reactive oxygen generation by activated neutrophils differ significantly from one ligand to another. These results suggest that the metabolic fate of active oxygens in neutrophils and, hence, their effect on microorganisms and the surrounding tissues might differ depending on the stimulus. 相似文献

Inflammation is a beneficial host response to foreign challenge involving numerous soluble factors and cell types, including polymorphonuclear granulocytes or neutrophils. Programmed cell death (apoptosis) of neutrophils has been documented in vitro as well as in vivo, and is thought to be important for the resolution of inflammation, as this process allows for engulfment and removal of senescent cells prior to their necrotic disintegration. Studies in recent years have begun to unravel the mechanism of macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, and evidence has accrued for a critical role of externalization and oxidation of plasma membrane phosphatidylserine, and its subsequent recognition by macrophage receptors, in this process. Activated neutrophils generate vast amounts of reactive oxygen species for the purpose of killing ingested micro-organisms, and these reactive metabolites may also modulate the life-span, as well as the clearance, of the neutrophil itself. This review aims to address the latter topic, as well as to summarize current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil apoptosis and macrophage clearance of these cells at the site of inflammation. 相似文献

Nonenzymatic cleavage of proteins by reactive oxygen species generated by dithiothreitol and iron 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Many enzymes, represented by yeast glutamine synthetase, are inactivated and degraded in the presence of dithiothreitol (DTT), oxygen, and catalytic amounts of iron salts. The roles of DTT and iron can be replaced by ascorbate and copper, respectively. Experimental data suggest that reactive oxygen species, likely hydroxyl radicals, are generated locally around irons bound at specific sites on enzymes, and these species are responsible for the inactivation and degradation. Since many biochemicals are contaminated with metal salts in quantities sufficient for some hydroxyl radical formation to occur, the possibility of oxidative modification and degradation should be considered when an enzyme is exposed to DTT. 相似文献

Production of chemokines and reactive oxygen species by human neutrophils stimulated by Helicobacter pylori 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Background. Bacteria have different characteristics in stimulation of human neutrophils to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chemokines. This study examined the ability of Helicobacter pylori to induce production of ROS and chemokines by human neutrophils. Methods. H. pylori strains (1.5 × 108 CFU/ml) were cocultured with 5 × 104 neutrophils isolated from healthy subjects. Samples were incubated with human serum with or without IgG antibodies to H. pylori. ROS production was measured using luminol‐dependent chemiluminescence (LmCL), and the concentrations of chemokines (IL‐8, RANTES, MIP‐1α and MCP‐1) were measured by ELISA. Results. The mean of the highest LmCL (peak height; PH) value stimulated by H. pylori was 3318 in the absence of serum. PH increased to 4687 when incubated with anti‐H. pylori antibody‐positive sera (p < .001) but antibody‐negative sera did not affect LmCL response. The mean final concentration of IL‐8 produced in the absence of serum was 142.6 pg/ml. Increased IL‐8 production was seen by addition of antibody positive serum (p < .01). IL‐8 production was not significantly correlated with production of ROS. On the other hand, H. pylori stimulation did not induce neutrophil production of RANTES, MIP‐1α or MCP‐1. Conclusions. H. pylori was capable of inducing IL‐8 production by human neutrophils, but not C‐C chemokines. Production of C‐X‐C dominant chemokine by neutrophils is consistent with the pathological characteristics of H. pylori‐induced gastritis, where persistent neutrophil infiltration is present. 相似文献

Cell death by reactive oxygen species generated from water-soluble cationic metalloporphyrins as superoxide dismutase mimics. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We investigated the effect on cell death of reactive oxygen species induced by water-soluble cationic metalloporphyrins with superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The SOD activity of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)]porphine (MPy(4)P) containing Fe, Mn or Cu was measured using a cytochrome c assay by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system and stopped-flow kinetic analysis. Cell viability of four cell lines treated with metalloporphyrins, mitomycin c (MMC), or cisplatin was estimated by a trypan blue exclusion assay. FeMPy(4)P with a high SOD activity showed a significant cytotoxicity compared with MMC and cisplatin, while CuMPy(4)P without SOD activity exhibited no cytotoxicity. However, MnMPy(4)P showing an SOD activity as high as that of FeMPy(4)P did not indicate cytotoxicity. These findings suggest that FeMPy(4)P as SOD mimic converts intracellular O2(*-) to H(2)O(2) and that it rapidly reacts with H(2)O(2) to form *OH, causing DNA damage and inducing cell death. On the other hand, MnMPy(4)P did not participate in the Fenton reaction, so that DNA damage in the cells treated with MnMPy(4)P was not observed. In addition, the cytotoxicity by the metalloporphyrin was inversely correlated with the SOD activity of the cells and the selective damage at cellular and DNA levels was confirmed. We believe that for an anticancer drug with antioxidant ability O(2)(*-) is useful as a target molecule to induce selective cell death between cancer and normal cells and that metalloporphyrins showing SOD activity and Fenton-like reaction are a new class of anticancer agents. 相似文献

The pathogenic roles of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of this study was to examine the effects of ecabet sodium on ROS produced by human neutrophils, particularly after being primed by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Neutrophils were isolated from six healthy volunteers. Each well of a 96‐well microplate received neutrophil suspension (1.0 × 105 cells) and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 30 min with or without E. coli LPS (f.c. 0.001 ng/µL). Ecabet sodium (f.c. 0–5.0 mg/mL) was added before starting or after finishing the incubation. Neutrophils were stimulated by opsonized zymosan (OZ; 1.0 mg/mL) or calcium ionophore (A21837; 0.3 µmol/L) and luminol‐dependent chemiluminescence response was measured using a Lumi Box H‐1000. Ecabet sodium attenuated ROS production at a concentration of 5.0 mg/mL (p < 0.05) in LPS‐primed neutrophils. However, attenuating effects were not significantly different when ecabet sodium was added before or after the incubation with E. coli LPS. Ecabet sodium may have some attenuating effects on ROS produced by human neutrophils even after neutrophils are primed by bacterial LPS. These results may explain, in part, the therapeutic effects of ecabet sodium for UC. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Study on the generation mechanism of reactive oxygen species on calcium peroxide by chemiluminescence and UV-visible spectra. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In the present work, the generation mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on calcium peroxide (CaO(2)) was studied. A very intense chemiluminescence (CL) signal was observed when adding an aqueous solution of luminol or 2-methyl-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2alpha]-pyrazin-3-one hydrochloride (MCLA) to a suspension of CaO(2). The ROS released on CaO(2) were thought to be oxidizing agents leading to CL, and were characterized by CL, UV-visible (UV-vis) spectra and the effective scavengers of the special ROS. From experimental results, the hydroxyl (.OH) and superoxide (.O(2) (-)) radicals were suggested to exist on the surface of CaO(2). A reaction scheme for the formation of the ROS on CaO(2) was also proposed and discussed. Of more interest was the finding that the CaO(2) which released the .OH and .O(2) (-) on the surface exhibited good transition properties compared with alkaline-earth metal peroxides of the same group (MgO(2), BaO(2)). 相似文献

Methods for the synthesis of adenosine/boron cluster conjugates are proposed and the potential of the obtained derivatives to modulate neutrophil activity, especially reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro, is described. An efficient inhibition of ROS production in activated neutrophils by adenosine modified at the 2′-C and 6-N positions with a para-carborane cluster (C2B10H11) was discovered. The high affinity of the selected compounds for adenosine receptor A2A was established. These results are in agreement with the possible involvement of receptor A2A in the biological activities of adenosine/boron cluster conjugates. This study extends the range of innovative molecules available for testing as agents affecting inflammatory processes. 相似文献

Signal transduction by reactive oxygen species 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Although historically viewed as purely harmful, recent evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as important physiological regulators of intracellular signaling pathways. The specific effects of ROS are modulated in large part through the covalent modification of specific cysteine residues found within redox-sensitive target proteins. Oxidation of these specific and reactive cysteine residues in turn can lead to the reversible modification of enzymatic activity. Emerging evidence suggests that ROS regulate diverse physiological parameters ranging from the response to growth factor stimulation to the generation of the inflammatory response, and that dysregulated ROS signaling may contribute to a host of human diseases. 相似文献

Neopterin is synthesized by human monocyte-derived macrophages primarily upon stimulation with the cytokine interferon-gamma. We studied the influence of neopterin on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human peripheral blood neutrophils. Radical formation was measured using a biochemiluminometer. Neutrophils were isolated from peripheral blood of healthy donors. The generation of ROS by neutrophils suspended in Earl's solution (pH=7.4) at 37 degrees C was investigated by monitoring of chemiluminescence using luminol and lucigenin as light emitters. Neopterin induced chemiluminescence in suspensions of neutrophils in the presence of luminol, but not of lucigenin. Neopterin affected only adhesive cells. Addition of neopterin into the suspension of the cells involving D-mannitol, L-histidine and diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) decreased luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (LDCL) of the neutrophils. The action of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO) reduced neopterin-induced LDCL of neutrophils. Data suggest that neutrophils respond on exposure to neopterin with additional generation of singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical and nitric oxide by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-independent pathways. 相似文献

Contaminating leukocytes in the ejaculate are an important source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human semen. When present in sufficient numbers, they can have a detrimental influence on sperm function in humans. Unfortunately, there is little published information regarding the importance of leukocytes in stallion semen. The objectives of this study were to determine the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by activated equine neutrophils and to examine the effect of this ROS production on equine sperm motility in vitro. Motile equine spermatozoa (two ejaculates each from four stallions) and peripheral blood neutrophils were isolated on discontinuous Percoll gradients, washed and resuspended in a modified Tyrode's medium. Spermatozoa (25 x 10(6)/ml) were incubated for 30 min at 38 C with neutrophils (0,0.5 x 10(6),1 x 10(6), 5 x 10(6) and 10 x 10(6)/ml) activated by either the protein kinase C agonist, 12-myristate, 13-acetate phorbol ester (PMA; 100 nM) or the leukocyte chemotactic peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP; 0.1 mM). Sperm motility was determined by computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) at time 0 min (T0) and time 30 min (T30), and H2O2 was measured at T30 with the Amplex Red assay kit. At T30, there was a significant (P < 0.01) increase in H2O2 with the addition of 5 x 10 and 10 x 10(6) neutrophils/ml activated by FMLP (0.76 +/- 0.3 and 0.99 +/- 0.4 microM, respectively, versus 0.0024 +/- 0.002 microM in sperm alone), and this increase was associated with a significant (P < 0.001) decrease in total motility (52 +/- 5.1 and 48 +/- 6.0%, respectively, versus 80 +/- 4.7% in sperm alone). At T30, there was also a significant (P < 0.001) increase in H2O2 with the addition of 5 x 10(6) and 10 x 10(6) neutrophils/ml activated by PMA (1.88 +/- 0.2 and 2.07 +/- 0.3 microM, respectively, versus 0.0009 +/- 0.0006 microM in sperm alone). The results of this study demonstrate that 5 x 10(6) activated neutrophils/ml are sufficient to impair equine sperm motility in vitro. 相似文献

Tumour–stroma interaction is a prerequisite for tumour progression in skin cancer. Hereby, a critical step in stromal function is the transition of tumour-associated fibroblasts to MFs (myofibroblasts) by growth factors, for example TGFβ (transforming growth factor beta(). In this study, the question was addressed of whether fibroblast-associated NAD(P)H oxidase (NADH/NADPH oxidase), known to be activated by TGFβ1, is involved in the fibroblast-to-MF switch. The up-regulation of αSMA (alpha smooth muscle actin), a biomarker for MFs, is mediated by a TGFβ1-dependent increase in the intracellular level of ROS (reactive oxygen species). This report demonstrates two novel aspects of the TGFβ1 signalling cascade, namely the generation of ROS due to a biphasic NAD(P)H oxidase activity and a ROS-dependent downstream activation of p38 leading to a transition of dermal fibroblasts to MFs that can be inhibited by the selective NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor apocynin. These data suggest that inhibition of NAD(P)H oxidase activity prevents the fibroblast-to-MF switch and may be important for chemoprevention in context of a ‘stromal therapy’ which was described earlier. 相似文献
