Endogenous Generation of Singlet Oxygen and Ozone in Human and Animal Tissues: Mechanisms, Biological Significance, and Influence of Dietary Components.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have shown that exposing antibodies or amino acids to singlet oxygen results in the formation of ozone (or an ozone-like oxidant) and hydrogen peroxide and that human neutrophils produce both singlet oxygen and ozone during bacterial killing. There is also mounting evidence that endogenous singlet oxygen production may be a common occurrence in cells through various mechanisms. Thus, the ozone-producing combination of singlet oxygen and amino acids might be a common cellular occurrence. This paper reviews the potential pathways of formation of singlet oxygen and ozone in vivo and also proposes some new pathways for singlet oxygen formation. Physiological consequences of the endogenous formation of these oxidants in human tissues are discussed, as well as examples of how dietary factors may promote or inhibit their generation and activity.

Organization and evolution of the biological response to singlet oxygen stress.

Project description:The appearance of atmospheric oxygen from photosynthetic activity led to the evolution of aerobic respiration and responses to the resulting reactive oxygen species. In Rhodobacter sphaeroides, a photosynthetic alpha-proteobacterium, a transcriptional response to the reactive oxygen species singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) is controlled by the group IV sigma factor sigma(E) and the anti-sigma factor ChrR. In this study, we integrated various large datasets to identify genes within the (1)O(2) stress response that contain sigma(E)-dependent promoters both within R. sphaeroides and across the bacterial phylogeny. Transcript pattern clustering and a sigma(E)-binding sequence model were used to predict candidate promoters that respond to (1)O(2) stress in R. sphaeroides. These candidate promoters were experimentally validated to nine R. sphaeroides sigma(E)-dependent promoters that control the transcription of 15 (1)O(2)-activated genes. Knowledge of the R. sphaeroides response to (1)O(2) and its regulator sigma(E)-ChrR was combined with large-scale phylogenetic and sequence analyses to predict the existence of a core set of approximately eight conserved sigma(E)-dependent genes in alpha-proteobacteria and gamma-proteobacteria. The bacteria predicted to contain this conserved response to (1)O(2) include photosynthetic species, as well as free-living and symbiotic/pathogenic nonphotosynthetic species. Our analysis also predicts that the response to (1)O(2) evolved within the time frame of the accumulation of atmospheric molecular oxygen on this planet.

The interaction of triethyltin with components of animal tissues.

Project description:1. The distribution of triethyl[(113)Sn]tin chloride in the rat, guinea pig and hamster is not uniform, the highest concentrations being in rat blood and the liver of all three species. 2. Subcellular fractionation of rat liver, brain and kidney shows that triethyltin binds to all fractions to different extents. In the liver of the rat and guinea pig the supernatant fraction contains the largest amount and the highest specific concentration; this triethyltin is bound to a non-diffusible component. 3. Rat haemoglobin is responsible for the binding of triethyltin in rat blood (2 moles of triethyltin/mole of haemoglobin). Haemoglobins from other species have much less affinity for triethyltin. 4. A variety of other proteins do not bind triethyltin.

Singlet oxygen imaging using fluorescent probe Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green in photosynthetic organisms.

Project description:Formation of singlet oxygen (1O2) was reported to accompany light stress in plants, contributing to cell signaling or oxidative damage. So far, Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green (SOSG) has been the only commercialized fluorescent probe for 1O2 imaging though it suffers from several limitations (unequal penetration and photosensitization) that need to be carefully considered to avoid misinterpretation of the analysed data. Herein, we present results of a comprehensive study focused on the appropriateness of SOSG for 1O2 imaging in three model photosynthetic organisms, unicellular cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Penetration of SOSG differs in both unicellular organisms; while it is rather convenient for Chlamydomonas it is restricted by the presence of mucoid sheath of Synechocystis, which penetrability might be improved by mild heating. In Arabidopsis, SOSG penetration is limited due to tissue complexity which can be increased by pressure infiltration using a shut syringe. Photosensitization of SOSG and SOSG endoperoxide formed by its interaction with 1O2 might be prevented by illumination of samples by a red light. When measured under controlled conditions given above, SOSG might serve as specific probe for detection of intracellular 1O2 formation in photosynthetic organisms.

SINGLET OXYGEN RESISTANT 1 links reactive electrophile signaling to singlet oxygen acclimation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Project description:To identify components involved in the signal transduction and activation of the singlet oxygen-mediated response, a mutant selection was performed. This led to the isolation of the singlet oxygen resistant 1 (sor1) mutant, which is more tolerant to singlet oxygen-producing chemicals and shows a constitutively higher expression of GPXH and GSTS1. Map-based cloning revealed that the SOR1 gene encodes a novel bZIP transcription factor, which seems to control its own expression as well as that of a large number of oxidative stress response and detoxification genes. In the promoter region of many of these genes a highly conserved 8-bp palindromic sequence element was found to be enriched. This element was shown to be essential for GSTS1 overexpression in sor1 and for induction by increased levels of lipophilic reactive electrophile species (RES) suggesting that it functions as an electrophile response element (ERE). RES can be formed after singlet oxygen-induced lipid peroxidation, indicating that a RES-stimulated and SOR1-mediated response of detoxification genes is part of the singlet oxygen-induced acclimation process in C. reinhardtii.

SINGLET OXYGEN RESISTANT 1 links reactive electrophile signaling to singlet oxygen acclimation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Project description:Acclimation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells to low levels of singlet oxygen, produced either by photoreactive chemicals or high light treatment, induces a specific genetic response that strongly increases the tolerance of the algae to subsequent exposure to normally lethal singlet oxygen-producing conditions. The genetic response includes the increased expression of various oxidative stress response and detoxification genes, like the glutathione peroxidase homologous gene GPXH/GPX5 and the ?-class glutathione-S-transferase gene GSTS1. To identify components involved in the signal transduction and activation of the singlet oxygen-mediated response, a mutant selection was performed. This selection led to the isolation of the singlet oxygen resistant 1 (sor1) mutant, which is more tolerant to singlet oxygen-producing chemicals and shows a constitutively higher expression of GPXH and GSTS1. Map-based cloning revealed that the SOR1 gene encodes a basic leucine zipper transcription factor, which controls its own expression and the expression of a large number of oxidative stress response and detoxification genes. In the promoter region of many of these genes, a highly conserved 8-bp palindromic sequence element was found to be enriched. This element was essential for GSTS1 induction by increased levels of lipophilic reactive electrophile species (RES), suggesting that it functions as an electrophile response element (ERE). Furthermore, GSTS1 overexpression in sor1 requires the ERE, although it is unknown whether it occurs through direct binding of SOR1 to the ERE. RES can be formed after singlet oxygen-induced lipid peroxidation, indicating that RES-stimulated and SOR1-mediated responses of detoxification genes are part of the singlet oxygen-induced acclimation process in C. reinhardtii.

Oxygen-catalysed sequential singlet fission.

Project description:Singlet fission is the photoinduced conversion of a singlet exciton into two triplet states of half-energy. This multiplication mechanism has been successfully applied to improve the efficiency of single-junction solar cells in the visible spectral range. Here we show that singlet fission may also occur via a sequential mechanism, where the two triplet states are generated consecutively by exploiting oxygen as a catalyst. This sequential formation of carriers is demonstrated for two acene-like molecules in solution. First, energy transfer from the excited acene to triplet oxygen yields one triplet acene and singlet oxygen. In the second stage, singlet oxygen combines with a ground-state acene to complete singlet fission. This yields a second triplet molecule. The sequential mechanism accounts for approximately 40% of the triplet quantum yield in the studied molecules; this process occurs in dilute solutions and under atmospheric conditions, where the single-step SF mechanism is inactive.

The ratio of cholesterol 5,6-secosterols formed from ozone and singlet oxygen offers insight into the oxidation of cholesterol in vivo.

Project description:Ongoing efforts to unravel the origins of the cholesterol 5,6-secosterols (1a and 1b) in biological systems have revealed that the two known chemical routes to these oxysterols, ozonolysis of cholesterol (3) and Hock-cleavage of 5-alpha-hydroperoxycholesterol (4a), are distinguishable based upon the ratio of the hydrazone derivatives (2a and 2b) formed in each case and this ratio offers an insight into the chemical origin of the secosterols in vivo.

<i>In vivo</i>-like Culture of Monophagous Animal Organ using Dietary Components.

Project description:Animals depend on other species to live, with monophagy being an extreme mode. Monophagous animals depend on their diet not only for nutritients but also for developmental and reproductive controls. Thus, dietary components may be useful in culturing tissues from monophagous animals. We hypothesized that a dedifferentiated tissue from the monophagous silkworm, Bombyx mori, would re-differentiate when cultured in a medium containing an extract of mulberry (Morus alba) leaves, the only food of B. mori. Over 40 fat-body transcriptomes were sequenced, and we concluded that it is possible to establish in vivo-like silkworm tissue cultures using their diet.
