Upon their activation, membrane-bound NADPH oxidase produces superoxide anion radical, which is converted to H2O2 by superoxide dismutase (SOD). In this study, we compared the production of hydrogen peroxide by two phenotypes of pro-inflammatory human M1 macrophages and neutrophils activated with phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate. Macrophages were obtained from blood monocytes (monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM)) differentiated into MDM using GM- or M-CSF growth factors and polarized into the M1 state, receiving GM_M1, M_M1, respectively. The total level of H2O2 production measured in the presence of horseradish peroxidase differed significantly between two types of macrophages. Only GM_M1 macrophages had a level of H2O2 production comparable to neutrophils. GM_M1 appear at the site of inflammation after neutrophils, they continue the work of neutrophils in creating a pro-inflammatory environment: they produce several times more H2O2 and pro-inflammatory cytokines than M_M1, which arrive at inflammatory site later. Upon activation, MDM_M1 formed big blot-like and smaller dense spheroid-like aggregates. Activated neutrophils secrete the enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), which synthesizes the very potent oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl) only in the presence of H2O2. Neutrophils are short lived cells, MPO can use H2O2 produced by activated cultured MDM to synthesize HOCl at physiologically relevant concentrations to prolong oxidative stress.","PeriodicalId":12411,"journal":{"name":"Free Radical Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144316308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ferroptosis is a novel cell death regulation mode characterized by iron dependence and lipid peroxidation. Dioscin, a compound extracted from the Paris polyphylla rhizomes roots, has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on cancers. However, whether it induces ferroptosis to participate in anti-cancer metastasis remains unclear. The ability of gastric cancer cells to invade and migrate was evaluated by wound healing and transwell assays. Malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) assay kit, and dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent probes were used to detect ferroptosis in gastric cancer cells. The expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot methods. The rescue assay was performed by adding Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) co-treatment to verify that Dioscin inhibited gastric cancer metastasis by participating in ferroptosis. Dioscin inhibited gastric cancer cells' wound healing, migration, and invasion process. In addition, Dioscin increased the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MDA while decreasing GSH level, and induced ferroptosis of gastric cancer cells. Fer-1, an inhibitor of ferroptosis, could reverse the effect of Dioscin. In terms of mechanism, Dioscin induced ferroptosis through SLC7A11/GPX4 axis and was involved in the regulation of inhibiting metastasis of gastric cancer. These results suggested that Dioscin was involved in anti-cancer metastasis by inducing ferroptosis.","PeriodicalId":12411,"journal":{"name":"Free Radical Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144215327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite a reduced mortality rate, attention is increasingly focusing on the impact of post-intensive-care syndrome (PICS) on readmission. Due to the significant role of oxidative stress (OS) in the pathological mechanisms of poisoning, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoGuo) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) may hold great potential as biomarkers for OS biomarkers to evaluate the severity and prognosis of poisoning. Therefore, we investigated the longitudinal changes of urinary 8-oxoGuo levels during hospitalization in poisoned patients, their association with organ failure, and their predictive value for 30-day readmission risk. In total, 43 poisoning patients were enrolled from the EICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between July 2021 and November 2022. The 30-day readmission rate was 18.6%. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to explore the potential trajectories of urinary OS markers and organ failure scores during hospitalization. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed a significant association between a high trajectory of 8-oxoGuo/creatinine (Cr) and the increased severity of overall organ failure, as well as respiratory and coagulation dysfunctions. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that a high 8-oxoGuo/Cr trajectory, high respiratory failure score trajectory, and 8-oxoGuo/Cr values at three key points in disease progression (including admission, transfer from EICU, and discharge), along with 8-oxodGuo/Cr levels at admission, were all risk factors for 30-day readmission. The 8-oxoGuo/Cr value at discharge exhibited the best predictive performance. The urinary 8-oxoGuo/Cr ratio may serve as a potential biomarker for prognostic evaluations in patients with poisoning.","PeriodicalId":12411,"journal":{"name":"Free Radical Research","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144157859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LPS injections (in rats and mice) for three days (1.5 mg/kg) impacted the body weight and increased cardiac TNF-α. Additionally, it decreased mitochondrial complexes I and II activities while complexes III and IV remained unaffected.

Indeed, LPS treatment significantly increased mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide production, reduced the activity of antioxidant enzymes catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activity. This was accompanied by decreased mitochondrial and cytosolic sulfhydryl proteins and parallel increased cellular lipid peroxidation in the presence or absence of Fe2+. LPS-treated samples had increased glutathione s-transferase activity, which may be an attempt of the cell to remove toxic lipid peroxidation products. In a more acute Langendorff-perfused rat hearts, LPS infusion (0.5 μg/mL) induced a significant elevation in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and a decrease in left ventricular developed pressure.

AMD is associated with multiple risk factors, many of which are closely linked to increased oxidative stress. Some studies have suggested that long-term and excessive exposure to blue light may be a potential risk factor for the development or progression of AMD. Recently, we demonstrated that blue light irradiation caused oxidative stress in all-trans-retinal (atRAL)-exposed human ARPE-19 retinal pigment epithelium cells by generating singlet oxygen (1O2), leading to apoptotic cell death. Luteolin, a flavonoid found in various edible plants, has been reported to possess divergent health-promoting properties including anti-oxidative and chemopreventive effects by up-regulating anti-oxidative and phase II detoxifying enzymes through activation of Keap1/Nrf2 signaling. Herein, we verified the cytoprotective action of luteolin against blue light irradiation using atRAL-exposed ARPE-19 cells. Our results established that luteolin effectively prevented blue light-induced apoptosis of ARPE-19 cells by mitigating oxidative stress. We also confirmed that luteolin suppressed intracellular accumulation of 1O2 and formation of atRAL-derived lipofuscin by increased expression of heme oxygenase-1 and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 through activation of Keap1/Nrf2 signaling. Furthermore, our data implied that the luteolin-provoked activation of Keap1/Nrf2 signaling might be due to covalent binding of luteolin o-quinone to the critical cysteinyl thiol in Keap1. The present results suggest that luteolin could be helpful in the prevention and amelioration of blue light-induced retinal degeneration, including AMD.","PeriodicalId":12411,"journal":{"name":"Free Radical Research","volume":" ","pages":"356-368"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143986059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
