Cell killing and DNA damage by hydrogen peroxide are mediated by intracellular iron.

چکیده
Phenanthroline, a strong iron chelator, prevents both the formation of DNA single-strand breaks and the killing of mouse cells produced by H2O2. These results, taken together with our previous findings, indicate that the DNA damage is produced by hydroxyl radicals formed when H2O2 reacts with chromatin-bound Fe2+ and that this damage is responsible for the killing effect.

Micromolar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide induce oxidative DNA lesions more efficiently than millimolar concentrations in mammalian cells.
Reactive oxygen species produce oxidized bases, deoxyribose lesions and DNA strand breaks in mammalian cells. Previously, we demonstrated that aldehydic DNA lesions (ADLs) were induced in mammalian cells by 10 mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Interestingly, a bimodal H2O2 dose-response relationship in cell toxicity has been reported for Escherichia coli deficient in DNA repair as well as Chinese ha...
متن کاملCell damaging by irradiating non-thermal plasma to the water: Mathematical modeling of chemical processes
Recently non-thermal plasma (NTP) is applied for many therapeutic applications. By NTP irradiating to the tissues or cell-lines, the water molecules (H2O) would be also activated leading to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). By irradiating plasma to bio-solution, its main output including vacuum UV to UV causes the photolysis of H2O leading to generat...
متن کاملSusceptibility of iron-loaded Borrelia burgdorferi to killing by hydrogen peroxide and human polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
Borrelia burgdorferi grew more slowly in iron-depleted than in iron-sufficient media. The addition of increasing concentrations of iron stimulated borrelial growth and resulted in the intracellular accumulation of this element. Compared with iron-starved borrelia, iron-enriched organisms showed enhanced sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide. Intracellular iron-content did not, however, influence sus...
متن کاملThe iron chelator L1 potentiates oxidative DNA damage in iron-loaded liver cells.
Iron-mediated carcinogenesis is thought to occur through the generation of oxygen radicals. Iron chelators are used in attempts to prevent the long term consequences of iron overload. In particular, 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyrid-4-one (L1), has shown promise as an effective chelator. Using an established hepatocellular model of iron overload, we studied the generation of iron-catalyzed oxidative ...
متن کاملInactivation of dehydratase [4Fe-4S] clusters and disruption of iron homeostasis upon cell exposure to peroxynitrite.
Phagocytes produce both nitric oxide and superoxide as components of the oxidative defense against pathogens. Neither molecule is likely at physiological concentrations to kill cells. However, two of their reaction products, hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite, are strong oxidants, cell-permeant, and toxic. Hydrogen peroxide generates oxidative DNA damage, while the primary mechanism of toxicit...
