Inactivation of primary antioxidant enzymes in mouse keratinocytes by photodynamically generated singlet oxygen.
Cellular antioxidant enzymes protect against damage caused by exposure to endogenous or exogenous prooxidants. Singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) is a reactive form of oxygen that can be produced in vivo either in normal and pathophysiologic conditions or by photosensitizing chemicals, as during photodynamic treatment. We hypothesized that photodynamically generated (1)O(2) would decrease the enzymatic a...
متن کاملBacterial inactivation by a singlet oxygen bubbler: identifying factors controlling the toxicity of (1)O2 bubbles.
A microphotoreactor device was developed to generate bubbles (1.4 mm diameter, 90 μL) containing singlet oxygen at levels toxic to bacteria and fungus. As singlet oxygen decays rapidly to triplet oxygen, the bubbles leave behind no waste or byproducts other than O(2). From a comparative study in deaerated, air saturated, and oxygenated solutions, it was reasoned that the singlet oxygen bubbles ...
متن کاملSinglet oxygen treatment of tumor cells triggers extracellular singlet oxygen generation, catalase inactivation and reactivation of intercellular apoptosis-inducing signaling☆
Intracellular singlet oxygen generation in photofrin-loaded cells caused cell death without discrimination between nonmalignant and malignant cells. In contrast, extracellular singlet oxygen generation caused apoptosis induction selectively in tumor cells through singlet oxygen-mediated inactivation of tumor cell protective catalase and subsequent reactivation of intercellular ROS-mediated apop...
متن کاملThe role of singlet oxygen and oxygen concentration in photodynamic inactivation of bacteria.
New antibacterial strategies are required in view of the increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. One promising technique involves the photodynamic inactivation of bacteria. Upon exposure to light, a photosensitizer in bacteria can generate singlet oxygen, which oxidizes proteins or lipids, leading to bacteria death. To elucidate the oxidative processes that occur during killing of bac...
متن کاملSinglet Oxygen
Singlet oxygen (O2) is a higher energy state molecular oxygen species. It is one of the most active intermediates involved in chemical and biochemical reactions. To fully appreciate the reactivity of O2, it is necessary to understand its physical and chemical nature. This paper reviews the generation, quenching and detection of O2. Its properties, possible chemical reactions are presented as we...
