Electroporating Fields Target Oxidatively Damaged Areas in the Cell Membrane
Reversible electropermeabilization (electroporation) is widely used to facilitate the introduction of genetic material and pharmaceutical agents into living cells. Although considerable knowledge has been gained from the study of real and simulated model membranes in electric fields, efforts to optimize electroporation protocols are limited by a lack of detailed understanding of the molecular b...
متن کاملCharacterization of membrane-bound serine protease related to degradation of oxidatively damaged erythrocyte membrane proteins.
It has been shown that erythrocyte membrane proteins become susceptible to degradation by membrane-bound serine protease activity after oxidative modification of the membranes (M. Beppu, M. Inoue, T. Ishikawa, K. Kikugawa, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1196 (1994) 81-87). The aim of the present study was to clarify the presence of the serine protease in oxidized erythrocyte membranes and to characteri...
متن کاملEndogenous melatonin and oxidatively damaged guanine in DNA
BACKGROUND A significant body of literature indicates that melatonin, a hormone primarily produced nocturnally by the pineal gland, is an important scavenger of hydroxyl radicals and other reactive oxygen species. Melatonin may also lower the rate of DNA base damage resulting from hydroxyl radical attack and increase the rate of repair of that damage. This paper reports the results of a study r...
متن کاملAssays for urinary biomarkers of oxidatively damaged nucleic acids.
The analysis of oxidized nucleic acid metabolites can be performed by a variety of methodologies: liquid chromatography coupled with electrochemical or mass-spectrometry detection, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis and ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). The major analytical challenge is specificity. The best combination of selectivity and speed...
متن کاملDietary antioxidants and beneficial effect on oxidatively damaged DNA.
Many biomonitoring studies have investigated the role of antioxidants in reducing oxidatively generated DNA damage in urine and white blood cells. A collective interpretation is difficult because many studies lack sufficient control and have unreasonably high baseline levels of oxidatively damaged DNA. In a survey of this antioxidant hypothesis, we identified 139 cross-sectional and interventio...
