The ability of murine epidermal cells to produce intracellular hydrogen peroxide was analyzed by flow cytometry and the measurement of 2',7'- dichlorofluorescin (DCFH) oxidation. Epidermal cells isolated from acetone-treated CD-1 mice for 24 h were relatively homogeneous in cell size and density and oxidized low levels of DCFH. However, following 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment of mice (10 micrograms; 24 h), two cytokeratin-positive populations of cells were identified that were heterogeneous with respect to size and density. These two TPA-derived cell populations oxidized levels of DCFH that were time and dose dependent and were between 2- and 10-fold higher than levels of DCFH oxidized by cells isolated from acetone-treated mice. The ability of catalase, the enzyme that detoxifies hydrogen peroxide, to suppress DCFH oxidation to control levels suggested that intracellular hydrogen peroxide was responsible for the enhanced rate of DCFH oxidation in epidermal cells isolated from TPA-treated mice. The ability of mouse epidermal keratinocytes to oxidize DCFH in response to TPA treatment was confirmed using a cloned keratinocyte cell line. These results suggest that specific subpopulations of keratinocytes produce elevated levels of intracellular peroxides following treatment with TPA either in vivo or in culture.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D005260 Female Females
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D006861 Hydrogen Peroxide A strong oxidizing agent used in aqueous solution as a ripening agent, bleach, and topical anti-infective.
