    Abstract The innate immune response represents the first-line of defense against invading pathogens. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) have been implicated in various aspects of innate immune function, which involves respiratory bursts and inflammasome activation. These reactive species widely distributed within the cellular environment are short-lived intermediates that play a vital role in cellular signaling and proliferation and are likely to depend on their subcellular site of formation. NADPH oxidase complex of phagocytes is known to generate superoxide anion radical (O

    Abstract Under environmental conditions, plants are exposed to various abiotic and biotic stress factors, which commonly cause the oxidation of lipids and proteins. Lipid peroxidation constantly produces malondialdehyde (MDA), a secondary product of lipid peroxidation, which is covalently bound to proteins forming MDA-protein adducts. The spatial distribution of MDA-protein adducts in Arabidopsis leaves shows that MDA-protein adducts are located in the chloroplasts, uniformly spread out over the thylakoid membrane. At the lumenal side of thylakoid membrane, MDA interacts with PsbP, an extrinsic subunit of the photosystem II (PSII), which is in electrostatic interaction with the PSII core proteins. Under heat stress, when MDA is moderately enhanced, the electrostatic interaction between PsbP and PSII core proteins is weakened, and PsbP with bound MDA is released in the lumen. It is proposed here that the electrophilic MDA is bound to the nucleophilic lysine residues of PsbP, which are involved in electrostatic interactions with the negatively charged glutamate of the PSII core protein. Our data provide crucial information about the MDA binding topology in the higher plant PSII complex, which is necessary to understand better the physiological functions of MDA for plant survival under stress.

    Abstract Human skin is exposed to various physical and chemical stress factors, which commonly cause the oxidation of lipids and proteins. In this study, azo initiator AAPH [2,2' -azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride] was employed to initiate lipid peroxidation in porcine skin as an ex vivo model for human skin. We demonstrate that malondialdehyde (MDA), a secondary product of lipid peroxidation, is covalently bound to collagen in the dermis, forming MDA-collagen adducts. The binding of MDA to collagen results in an unfolding of the collagen triple helix, formation of the dimer of α-chains of collagen, and fragmentation of the collagen α-chain. It is proposed here that the MDA is bound to the lysine residues of α-chain collagen, which are involved in electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding with the glutamate and aspartate of other α-chains of the triple helix. Our data provide crucial information about the MDA binding topology in the skin, which is necessary to understand better the various types of skin-related diseases and the aging process in the skin under stress.

    Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed in photosystem II (PSII) under various types of abiotic and biotic stresses. It is considered that ROS play a role in chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling, which changes the nuclear gene expression. However, as ROS lifetime and diffusion are restricted due to the high reactivity towards biomolecules (lipids, pigments, and proteins) and the spatial specificity of signal transduction is low, it is not entirely clear how ROS might transduce signal from the chloroplasts to the nucleus. Biomolecule oxidation was formerly connected solely with damage; nevertheless, the evidence appears that oxidatively modified lipids and pigments are be involved in chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling due to their long diffusion distance. Moreover, oxidatively modified proteins show high spatial specificity; however, their role in signal transduction from chloroplasts to the nucleus has not been proven yet. The review attempts to summarize and evaluate the evidence for the involvement of ROS in oxidative signaling in PSII.

    Abstract Reactive oxygen species play a key role in cellular homeostasis and redox signaling at physiological levels, where excessive production affects the function and integrity of macromolecules, specifically proteins. Therefore, it is important to define radical-mediated proteotoxic stress in macrophages and identify target protein to prevent tissue dysfunction. A well employed, THP-1 cell line was utilized as in vitro model to study immune response and herein we employ immuno-spin trapping technique to investigate radical-mediated protein oxidation in macrophages. Hydroxyl radical formation along macrophage differentiation was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance along with confocal laser scanning microscopy using hydroxyphenyl fluorescein. Lipid peroxidation product, malondialdehyde, generated under experimental conditions as detected using swallow-tailed perylene derivative fluorescence observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography, respectively. The results obtained from this study warrant further corroboration and study of specific proteins involved in the macrophage activation and their role in inflammations.

    Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a type of cytoplasmic vesicles secreted by a variety of cells. EVs originating from cells have been known to participate in cell communication, antigen presentation, immune cell activation, tolerance induction, etc. These EVs can also carry the active form of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase Hydrogen (NADPH) oxidase, which is very essential for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and that can then modulate processes such as cell regeneration. The aim of this study is to characterize the EVs isolated from U-937 and THP-1 cells, identify the NADPH oxidase (NOX) isoforms, and to determine whether EVs can modulate NOX4 and NOX2 in monocytes and macrophages. In our study, isolated EVs of U-937 were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) spectroscopy and immunoblotting. The results showed that the exogenous addition of differentiation agents (either phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or ascorbic acid) or the supplementation of EVs used in the study did not cause any stress leading to alterations in cell proliferation and viability. In cells co-cultured with EVs for 72 h, strong suppression of NOX4 and NOX2 is evident when monocytes transform into macrophagic cells. We also observed lower levels of oxidative stress measured using immunoblotting and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy under the EVs co-cultured condition, which also indicates that EVs might contribute significantly by acting as an antioxidant source, which agrees with previous studies that hypothesized the role of EVs in therapeutics. Therefore, our results provide evidence for NOX regulation by EVs in addition to its role as an antioxidant cargo.

    Abstract Skin plays an important role in protection, metabolism, thermoregulation, sensation, and excretion whilst being consistently exposed to environmental aggression, including biotic and abiotic stresses. During the generation of oxidative stress in the skin, the epidermal and dermal cells are generally regarded as the most affected regions. The participation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a result of environmental fluctuations has been experimentally proven by several researchers and is well known to contribute to ultra-weak photon emission via the oxidation of biomolecules (lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids). More recently, ultra-weak photon emission detection techniques have been introduced to investigate the conditions of oxidative stress in various living systems in in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro studies. Research into two-dimensional photon imaging is drawing growing attention because of its application as a non-invasive tool. We monitored spontaneous and stress-induced ultra-weak photon emission under the exogenous application of a Fenton reagent. The results showed a marked difference in the ultra-weak photon emission. Overall, these results suggest that triplet carbonyl (
