Exposure of cells to 8-oxoG* increases cellular ROS levels. (A) MRC-5 cells were exposed to 8-oxoG* (◆), 8-oxoG (■) or H2O2 (□) and cellular ROS levels determined at times indicated. (B) Dose- and (C) cell type-dependent changes in ROS level upon 8-oxoG* exposure. (D) 8-OxoG*, but not 8-oxoG, causes changes in cellular ROS levels as shown by microscopic imaging (NIKON Eclipse Ti system). Magnification: 60x. In panels A, B, and C, cells were H2DCF-DA-loaded, and DCF fluorescence was determined at 485/528 nm. Results are means ±SEM (n=3–11).
