Singlet Oxygen Reacts with 2′,7′‐Dichlorodihydrofluorescein and Contributes to the Formation of 2′,7′‐Dichlorofluorescein

Abstract: There are controversial reports in the literature concerning the reactivity of singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) with the redox probe 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCFH). By carefully preparing solutions in which (1)O(2) is quantitatively generated in the presence of DCFH, we were able to show that the formation rate of the fluorescent molecule derived from DCFH oxidation, which is 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF), increases in D(2)O and decreases in sodium azide, proving the direct role of (1)O(2) in this process. … Show more

“…Intracellular ROS was quantified by measuring the fluorescence from the oxidation product of dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA) using an established protocol wherein cells were pre-treated with either 25 µg mL À1 or 50 µg mL À1 of AZ prior to irradiation. DCFA-DA is advantageous in that it is oxidized by several of the ROS induced in cells by UV exposure (including peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen, peroxynitrite and hydrogen peroxide) [20,21]. Results appear in Fig.…”

“…DCFH‐DA is a non‐fluorescent substance that can penetrate cells and transform into DCFH, which cannot pass through membranes, and is further oxidized into a fluorescent substance (DCF) by ROS. Therefore, the intensity of fluorescence reflects the level of ROS (Daghastanli, Itri, & Baptista, ). In this study, the intensity of fluorescence in FAC treated cells (0.8, 1.6, and 2.4 mmol/L) increased compared with the control (Figure c).…”

“…ROOH were quantified via their oxidation of the nonfluorescent H 2 DCF to the fluorescent dye DCF (34) (see above). To avoid the controversial direct oxidation of H 2 DCF by singlet oxygen (63,64), the reagent was added to the sample after irradiation. Before irradiation, the LDL fractions contained nine times more ROOH (13 μ m ) than the HDL fractions (1.5 μ m ), irrespective of the presence or absence of the pigment.…”
