Abstract
Photosysthetic cleavage of water molecules to molecular oxygen is a crucial process for all aerobic life on the Earth. Light-driven oxidation of water occurs in photosystem II (PSII) - a pigment-protein complex embedded in the thylakoid membrane of plants, algae and cyanobacteria. Electron transport across the thylakoid membrane terminated by NADPH and ATP formation is inadvertently coupled with the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reactive oxygen species are mainly produced by photosystem I; however, under certain circumstances, PSII contributes to the overall formation of ROS in the thylakoid membrane. Under limitation of electron transport reaction between both photosystems, photoreduction of molecular oxygen by the reducing side of PSII generates a superoxide anion radical, its dismutation to hydrogen peroxide and the subsequent formation of a hydroxyl radical terminates the overall process of ROS formation on the PSII electron acceptor side. On the PSII electron donor side, partial or complete inhibition of enzymatic activity of the water-splitting manganese complex is coupled with incomplete oxidation of water to hydrogen peroxide. The review points out the mechanistic aspects in the production of ROS on both the electron acceptor and electron donor side of PSII.

Abstract
An analysis of the H(2)O(2)-induced breakdown and transformation of different keto-monosaccharides at physiological concentrations reveals that glycolate and other short-chained carbohydrates and organic acids are produced. Depletion of monosaccharides and glycolate synthesis occurs at increased rates as the length of the carbohydrate chain is decreased, and is significantly increased in the presence of trace amounts of Fe(2+) ions (10 microM). Rates of monosaccharide depletion (initial concentration of 3 mM) observed were up to 1.55 mmol h(-1) in the case of fructose, and 2.59 mmol h(-1) in the case of dihydroxyacetone, depending upon pH, H(2)O(2) concentration, temperature and the presence or absence of catalytic amounts of Fe(2+). Glycolate was produced by dihydroxyacetone cleavage at rates up to 0.45 mmol h(-1) in the absence, and up to 1.88 mmol h(-1) in the presence of Fe(2+) ions (pH 8). Besides glycolate, other sugars (ribose, glyceraldehyde, glucose), glucitol (sorbitol) and organic acids (formic and 2-oxogluconic acid) were produced in such H(2)O(2)-induced reactions with fructose or dihydroxyacetone. EPR measurements demonstrated the participation of the OH radical, especially at higher pH. Presence of metal ions at higher pH values, resulting in increased glycolate synthesis, was accompanied by enhanced hydroxyl radical generation. Observed changes in intensity of DEPMPO-OH signals recorded from dihydroxyacetone and fructose reactions demonstrate a strong correlation with changes in glycolate yield, suggesting that OH radical formation enhances glycolate synthesis. The results presented suggest that different mechanisms are responsible for the cleavage or other reactions (isomerisation, auto- or free-radical-mediated oxidation) of keto-monosaccharides depending of experimental conditions.

Abstract
The photogeneration of hydroxyl radicals (OH(*)) in photosystem II (PSII) membranes was studied using EPR spin-trapping spectroscopy. Two kinetically distinguishable phases in the formation of the spin trap-hydroxyl (POBN-OH) adduct EPR signal were observed: the first phase (t(1/2) = 7.5 min) and the second phase (t(1/2) = 30 min). The generation of OH(*) was found to be suppressed in the absence of the Mn-complex, but it was restored after readdition of an artificial electron donor (DPC). Hydroxyl radical generation was also lost in the absence of oxygen, whereas it was stimulated when the oxygen concentration was increased. The production of OH(*) during the first kinetic phase was sensitive to the presence of SOD, whereas catalase and EDTA diminished the production of OH(*) during the second kinetic phase. The POBN-OH adduct EPR signal during the first phase exhibits a similar pH-dependence as the ability to oxidize the non-heme iron, as monitored by the Fe(3+) (g = 8) EPR signal: both EPR signals gradually decreased as the pH value was lowered below pH 6.5 and were absent at pH 5. Sodium formate decreases the production of OH(*) in intact and Mn-deleted PSII membranes. Upon illumination of PSII membranes, both superoxide, as measured by EPR signal from the spin trap-superoxide (EMPO-OOH) adduct, and H(2)O(2), measured colormetrically, were generated. These results indicated that OH(*) is produced on the electron acceptor side of PSII by two different routes, (1) O(2)(*)(-), which is generated by oxygen reduction on the acceptor side of PSII, interacts with a PSII metal center, probably the non-heme iron, to form an iron-peroxide species that is further reduced to OH(*) by an electron from PSII, presumably via Q(A)(-), and (2) O(2)(*)(-) dismutates to form free H(2)O(2) that is then reduced to OH(*) via the Fenton reaction in the presence of metal ions, the most likely being Mn(2+) and Fe(2+) released from photodamaged PSII. The two different routes of OH(*) generation are discussed in the context of photoinhibition.

Abstract
To clarify the mechanism of cephalosporin nephrotoxicity, the effects of cephaloridine (CLD), a nephrotoxic cephalosporin antibiotic, on the mitochondria of the pig kidney proximal tubular epithelial cell line LLC-PK(1) were studied in culture. The activity of cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria of LLC-PK(1) cells was significantly decreased from 9 h after addition of 1.0 mM CLD to the cultured cells. These effects were dose-dependent and accompanied with a significant decrease in the ATP content in the cells, followed by marked morphological changes in the mitochondria. These alterations were observed in the treated cells before the increase in lipid peroxidation. The activities of NADH-cytochrome c reductase and succinate dehydrogenase in the mitochondria and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, NADH-cytochrome b(5) reductase, and 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase in the microsomes of the treated cells were not affected. Superoxide anion production by the mitochondria prepared from LLC-PK(1) cells or NADH-cytochrome c reductase was not affected by addition of CLD (1-10 mM), but adriamycin (0.1 mM) or paraquat (0.1 mM) significantly increased the superoxide anion production. These results suggested that the primary action of CLD is inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase activity in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which decreases intracellular ATP content in renal tubular epithelial cells and that these effects of CLD are followed by increased lipid peroxidation and cellular injury.

Abstract
Hepatic endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in bile of selenium-deficient rats (SeD) was for the first time found using the electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trap technique, and the relationship between glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity and H(2)O(2) amount is discussed. Normal rats and four groups of rats fed a selenium-deficient diet with different feeding periods were examined. The results showed that the GPX activity decreased depending on the feeding period with the selenium-deficient diet and that the hepatic endogenous H(2)O(2) amount in the bile of the rats fed the selenium-deficient diet for the longest period (a week before birth to 8 weeks old) was drastically higher than those in other groups of rats (P < 0.005). We found that generation of H(2)O(2) due to the decrease in the GPX activity has a threshold value. The results suggest that an exposure to selenium deficiency for long term will cause oxidative stress.

Abstract
Most pathological processes include the production of activated oxygen species augmented or attenuated by transition metal ions catalyzing one electron transitions. Inhalation of airborne particles, infections, ingestion of toxins or liberation from endogenous stores represent biological pathways for the induction of pathogenic processes by these metal ions. In this short review basic reactions involving transition metal ions operating during oxidative stress in certain diseases will be discussed.

Abstract
A major portion of the toxicity of hydrogen peroxide in Escherichia coli is attributed to DNA damage mediated by a Fenton reaction that generates active forms of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide, DNA-bound iron, and a constant source of reducing equivalents. Kinetic peculiarities of DNA damage production by hydrogen peroxide in vivo can be reproduced by including DNA in an in vitro Fenton reaction system in which iron catalyzes the univalent reduction of hydrogen peroxide by the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). To minimize the toxicity of oxygen radicals, the cell utilizes scavengers of these radicals and DNA repair enzymes. On the basis of observations with the model system, it is proposed that the cell may also decrease such toxicity by diminishing available NAD(P)H and by utilizing oxygen itself to scavenge active free radicals into superoxide, which is then destroyed by superoxide dismutase.

Abstract
Chicken embryo fibroblasts and hepatocytes were studied in the presence of catalase and superoxide dismutase in order to establish whether these enzymes had the capacity to favour cell multiplication as previously shown for in vitro tumour ascites cells (ATP C+). The results indicate that, unlike ATP C+ cells, both fibroblasts and hepatocytes are inhibited in their multiplication by superoxide dismutase. Similar effects are exerted on hepatocytes by catalase, whereas the multiplication of fibroblasts is favoured by high doses of this enzyme. Enzyme determinations revealed high levels of catalase and superoxide dismutase in hepatocytes, whereas both enzymes were poor in fibroblasts and ATP C+.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) affects all components of the immune system, i.e., the development and expression of nonspecific, humoral, and cell-mediated responses. In general, a deficiency in Se appears to result in immunosuppression, whereas supplementation with low doses of Se appears to result in augmentation and/or restoration of immunologic functions. A deficiency of Se has been shown to inhibit resistance to microbial and viral infections, neutrophil function, antibody production, proliferation of T and B lymphocytes in response to mitogens, and cytodestruction by T lymphocytes and NK cells. Supplementation with Se has been shown to stimulate the function of neutrophils, production of antibodies, proliferation of T and B lymphocytes in response to mitogens, production of lymphokines, NK cell-mediated cytodestruction, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions and allograft rejection, and the ability of a host to reject transplanted malignant tumors. The mechanism(s) whereby Se affects the immune system is speculative. The effects of Se on the function of glutathione peroxidase and on the cellular levels of reduced glutathione and H2Se, as well as the ability of Se to interact with cell membranes, probably represent only a few of many regulatory mechanisms. The manipulation of cellular levels of Se may be significant for the maintenance of general health and for the control of immunodeficiency disorders and the chemoprevention of cancer.

Abstract
Recent studies of cellular defense mechanisms against toxic substances are reviewed with particular emphasis on the critical functions of reduced glutathione. Studies of the metabolism of paracetamol and of the redox active quinone menadione in isolated rat hepatocytes, are summarized in order to illustrate how multiple defense mechanisms are involved in the protection of the cell against the toxicity of these agents. Cytotoxicity with both agents occurs only after the cellular defense mechanisms have become exhausted.

Abstract
The genotoxic properties of adriamycin and daunomycin, anthracycline antibiotics effective in the treatment of a wide variety of malignancies, were examined in the Salmonella/Ames reverse-mutation test. A novel time- and temperature-dependent phenomenon that potentiates the mutagenicity of these compounds, termed mutational enhancement, is described. The results of congeneric and chemical attenuation studies imply that anthracycline-induced free radicals contribute substantively to the mutagenic potentials of adriamycin and daunomycin. These studies show that adriamycin and daunomycin are not simple intercalative compounds. Rather, anthracycline-induced mutagenesis entails at least two separate but intimately related steps, namely, intercalation within discrete base sequences and the free-radical-mediated events that ensue. Implications of the nonrandom and site-specific action of the anthracyclines are discussed.

Abstract
Active oxygen species are suspected as being a cause of the cellular damage that occurs at the site of inflammation. Phagocytic cells accumulate at these sites and produce superoxide ion, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. The ultimate killing species, the cellular target and the mechanism whereby the lethal injury is produced are unknown. We exposed mouse fibroblasts to xanthine oxidase and acetaldehyde, a system which mimics the membrane of phagocytic cells in terms of production of oxygen species. We observed that the generation of these species produced DNA strand breaks and cellular death. The metal chelator o-phenanthroline completely abolished the former effect, and at the same time it effectively protected the cells from lethal injuries. Because complexing iron o-phenanthroline prevents the formation of hydroxyl radical by the Fendon reaction (Fe(II) + H2O2----Fe(III) + OH- + OH.), it is proposed that most of the cell death and DNA damage are brought about by OH radical, produced from other species by iron-mediated reactions.

Radiolytically generated hydroxyl radicals degrade cytochrome c. In contrast, ferrocytochrome c is oxidized in the Fe-EDTA-H2O2 system, without loss of any cytochrome c. It is concluded that in the latter system no hydroxyl radicals are formed and that oxidation takes place via a FeO(II)EDTA or Fe(II)-H2O2-EDTA complex.

Abstract
The ability of paraquat radicals (PQ+.) generated by xanthine oxidase and glutathione reductase to give H2O2-dependent hydroxyl radical production was investigated. Under anaerobic conditions, paraquat radicals from each source caused chain oxidation of formate to CO2, and oxidation of deoxyribose to thiobarbituric acid-reactive products that was inhibited by hydroxyl radical scavengers. This is in accordance with the following mechanism derived for radicals generated by gamma-irradiation [H. C. Sutton and C. C. Winterbourn (1984) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 235, 106-115] PQ+. + Fe3+ (chelate)----Fe2+ (chelate) + PQ++ H2O2 + Fe2+ (chelate)----Fe3+ (chelate) + OH- + OH.. Iron-(EDTA) and iron-(diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) (DTPA) were good catalysts of the reaction; iron complexed with desferrioxamine or transferrin was not. Extremely low concentrations of iron (0.03 microM) gave near-maximum yields of hydroxyl radicals. In the absence of added chelator, no formate oxidation occurred. Paraquat radicals generated from xanthine oxidase (but not by the other methods) caused H2O2-dependent deoxyribose oxidation. However, inhibition by scavengers was much less than expected for a reaction of hydroxyl radicals, and this deoxyribose oxidation with xanthine oxidase does not appear to be mediated by free hydroxyl radicals. With O2 present, no hydroxyl radical production from H2O2 and paraquat radicals generated by radiation was detected. However, with paraquat radicals continuously generated by either enzyme, oxidation of both formate and deoxyribose was measured. Product yields decreased with increasing O2 concentration and increased with increasing iron(DTPA). These results imply a major difference in reactivity between free and enzymatically generated paraquat radicals, and suggest that the latter could react as an enzyme-paraquat radical complex, for which the relative rate of reaction with Fe3+ (chelate) compared with O2 is greater than is the case with free paraquat radicals.

Abstract
Purified ferredoxin-(cytochrome c)-NADP+ oxidoreductase and xanthine oxidase were found to catalyse the reduction of nitrofurantoin to the free radical. Under aerobic conditions, the nitrofurantoin radical underwent autoxidation to regenerate the parent compound with the concomitant production of superoxide and eventually hydrogen peroxide. The nitrofurantoin radical was also shown to react with hydrogen peroxide to generate a highly reactive species which was capable of oxidising methionine to ethylene. This active oxygen radical appeared to be identical with the crypto-OH . radical, previously proposed as being formed from the analogous reaction of the methyl viologen radical with hydrogen peroxide [R.J. Youngman and E.F. Elstner, FEBS Lett. 129, 265 (1981)]. Catalase inhibited nitrofurantoin-dependent ethylene formation in both enzyme systems, whereas superoxide dismutase was only inhibitory in the xanthine oxidase mediated reaction. Although the primary function of the respective enzyme systems is to generate the nitrofurantoin radical, the xanthine oxidase reaction is markedly more complex than that of ferredoxin-(cytochrome c)-NADP+ oxidoreductase. The differences between the two enzyme reactions appear to be due to the endogenous autoxidation of xanthine oxidase. The aerobic activation of nitrofurantoin by xanthine oxidase involved the superoxide anion as an intermediate, whereas the nitrofuran was directly reduced by ferredoxin-(cytochrome c)-NADP+ oxidoreductase without a requirement for active oxygen species.
