Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is mainly produced as a by-product from electron transport chain (ETC) of mitochondria and effectively eliminated by cellular antioxidants. However, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) exposure to keratinocytes declined antioxidant capacity and increased accumulation of ROS triggered alteration of mitochondrial activity and apoptosis is lacking. Our findings demonstrated that the electron leakage from the impaired ETC, leading to the accumulation of ROS was gradually elevating with increasing concentration of CEES exposure, which decline the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), manganese SOD (MnSOD) and copper-zinc SOD (Cu-ZnSOD) in keratinocytes. Further, excess accumulation of ROS, decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and increased the mitochondrial mass with increasing dose of CEES. CEES exposure provoked the decrease in expression of transcription factor A mitochondrial (TFAM), augmented mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and altered the mtDNA-encoded oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) subunits. Moreover, fragmented mtDNA translocated into cytosol, where it activated cGAS-STING and interferon regulatory factor3 (IRF3), coinciding with the increased expression of inflammatory med...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
