Spin Trapping Technique Studies on Active Oxygen Radicals from Human Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes during Fluoride-stimulated Respiratory Burst
نویسندگان
چکیده
By means of the ESR spectrum technique it was demonstrated that fluoride (F-) stimulated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) in a respiratory burst to generate active oxygen radicals ( • 02 and -OH) and to consume oxygen (02). The experiments' using the spin trapping technique with the nitrone DMPO as the trapping agent indicated that the PMN produce the adduct DMPO-OOH under high concentrations of Fand the adduct DMPO-OH under low concentrations of F-. Under medium concentrations of F-, DMPO-OOH was produced which then decreased in amount as a decrease occurred in Fconcentration. The results of tests of scavenging by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase suggested that the active oxygen radicals generated in the respiratory burst originated mainly from superoxide (-02). By the spin probe oximetry method (CTPO and CrOX) it was shown that the 02 consumed is from the intercellular medium.

Tetramethylpyrazine scavenges superoxide anion and decreases nitric oxide production in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Tetramethylpyrazine is one of the active ingredients of the Chinese herb Ligusticum wallichii Franchat. By electron spin resonance spin trapping methods, effects of tetramethylpyrazine on superoxide anion and nitric oxide generated by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes were studied. During the respiratory burst of polymorphonuclear leukocytes induced by N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, t...

Myristic acid (MyA), which is a saturated fatty acid (C14:0) and a side chain of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), was examined if MyA stimulates human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to release oxygen radicals comparable to PMA by applying electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-spin-trapping method. When MyA was added to isolated human PMNs, spin adducts of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-o...
متن کاملDetection of the production of oxygen-centered free radicals by human neutrophils using spin trapping techniques: a critical perspective.
Human neutrophils generate oxygen reduction products as a consequence of membrane interactions with a number of stimuli. One oxygen-centered free radical (superoxide) has been unequivocally shown to result from this "respiratory burst," and some experimental evidence for another (hydroxyl radical) has been published, although debate remains as to its significance. The role of phagocyte-derived ...
متن کاملProduction of oxygen-centered radicals by neutrophils and macrophages as studied by electron spin resonance (ESR).
Neutrophils and macrophages undergo a respiratory burst and an increase in the activity of the hexose monophosphate pathway in response to particulate or soluble agents. The increase in oxygen consumption was found to be associated with the production of oxygen-centered radicals. The ESR technique of spin trapping showed that besides a superoxide spin adduct, a hydroxyl spin adduct is also prod...

Introduction: Researchers have recently described a relationship between food additives and immune system responses. A decline in immune response has also been observed in people who are in contact with food additives, such as preservatives and flavours found in different foods. Objectives: The objective of the present study was to investigate the in vitro effect of food additives, such as vani...
