The effects of a system known to produce the OH. radicals were tested on HL-60 cells cultured under optimum conditions for 96 hr. Hydroxyl radicals were generated by a Fenton reaction, involving an ADP-Fe2+ (or ATP-Fe2+) complex and H2O2. Changes induced by OH. were compared to the effects of DMSO-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells. Cell numbers, viability, thymidine incorporation, TPA-induced NBT reduction and propidium iodide staining in flow cytometry were determined. The OH. generating system inhibited the growth and thymidine incorporation of leukemic cells in a manner dependent on the dose of added H2O2 (from 0.005 to 0.05 mM). In addition, an increasing proportion of the treated cells displayed signs of cell differentiation. In DMSO-treated cells, SOD and catalase activities increased after 6 days of culturing. The results show that a portion of the OH. free radicals derived from H2O2, produced by the action of SOD, may be a necessary prerequisite for differentiation, whereas an overproduction of OH. causes cell lethality or aging. We suggest that OH. free radicals may have a more complex role in cell physiology than simply causing oxidative damage.</p>","PeriodicalId":12438,"journal":{"name":"Free radical research communications","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3109/10715769309056494","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19214428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) has been used to both detect and monitor the time course of oxygen free radical formation in the in vivo rat cerebral cortex. Cortical cups were placed over both cerebral hemispheres of methoxyflurane anesthetized rats prepared for four vessel occlusion-evoked cerebral ischemia. Prior to the onset of sample collection, both cups were perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) containing the spin trap agent alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert butylnitrone (POBN 100 mM) for 20 min. In addition 50 mg/kg BW of POBN was administered intraperitoneally (IP) 20 min prior to ischemia in order to improve our ability to detect free radical adducts. Cup fluid was subsequently replaced every 15 min during ischemia and every 10 min during reperfusion with fresh POBN containing CSF and the collected cortical superfusates were analyzed for radical adducts by EPR spectroscopy. After a basal 10 min collection, cerebral ischemia was induced for 15 or 30 min (confirmed by EEG flattening) followed by a 90 min reperfusion. .OH radical adducts (characterized by six line EPR spectra) were detected during ischemia and 90 min reperfusion. No adduct was detected in the basal sample or after 90 min of reperfusion. Similar results were obtained when diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (100 microM; DETAPAC) a chelating agent was included in the artificial CSF. Systemic administration of PBN (100 mg/kg BW) produced a significant attenuation of radical adduct during reperfusion. A combination of systemic and topical PBN (100 mM) was required to suppress .OH radical adduct formation during ischemia as well as reperfusion. PBN free radical adducts were detected in EPR spectra of the lipid extracts of PBN treated rat brains subjected to ischemia/reperfusion. Thus this study suggests that PBN's protective action in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury is related to its ability to prevent a cascade of free radical generation by forming spin adducts.</p>","PeriodicalId":12438,"journal":{"name":"Free radical research communications","volume":"19 4","pages":"255-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3109/10715769309056513","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19282288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present paper describes a modification of this assay allowing determination of lag phase for lipoprotein diene formation in serum. The formation of dienes in serum exposed to Cu2+ begins following the consumption of serum alpha-tocopherol, correlates to the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (r = 0.987, n = 8), is inhibited by the addition of ascorbic acid and is absent in lipoprotein-deficient serum. It is also accompanied by an increased mobility of serum lipoproteins on agarose gel electrophoresis and with an ability of serum to displace isolated copper-oxidized LDL from binding sites mediating degradation in mouse peritoneal macrophages. The coefficient of variance of the analysis is below 3%.

In contrast, it lasted only for 2.5 min when cells were in suspension (J. Clin. Invest. 72: 113-121, 1983). In spite of this report, the effect of cell adhesion has been ignored in most spin trapping studies of superoxide release from PMNs. This study shows that most PMNs in a quartz flat electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) cuvette which was placed horizontally adhered to the wall within 3 min. In contrast, if the cuvette was placed vertically, only 20-30% of the cells became adherent in 30 min. We performed spin trapping studies using 5,5-dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) as a spin trap, and monitored the effect of cell adhesion on superoxide generation. When spin trapping was conducted on PMNs in suspension, the EPR signal of superoxide adduct (DMPO-OOH) was undetectable after stimulation with fMLP. However, PMNs which were allowed to adhere to the cuvette after stimulation generated superoxide for hours. Moreover, when PMNs were allowed to adhere prior to the stimulation, the magnitude of superoxide release was augmented three-to fourfold. Unlike fMLP, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), which has been most commonly used in spin trapping studies, induced superoxide release which was not influenced by cell adhesion.
