Abstract

ARTIFICIAL SYNAPSES FOR FEMTOMOLAR DETECTION: Amperometry at platinized carbon fibre electrodes has been used to unravel the complexity of beta-lapachone's effects on cellular oxidative stress. Alpha-lapachone, the pharmacologically inactive para-quinone isomer, did not display such characteristics, but over longer incubation periods both quinones induced apoptosis. The observed effects were interpreted in terms of two mechanisms involving opposite reactivities of quinones in living cells. Beta-lapachone (1) has been widely used for its pharmacological activity, particularly against cancer. However, its mechanism of action at the cellular level remains unclear, although a common major hypothesis involves its prooxidant properties. Electrochemical measurements with microelectrodes were taken in order to quantitatively investigate the activity of 1 at different concentrations and several incubation times, on the oxidative bursts released by single macrophages. The exact natures of the electroactive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) released by macrophages under the effect of 1 were characterized, and their fluxes were measured quantitatively. This allowed the reconstruction of the primary O2*- and ...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
