Pyocyanin-Induced Toxicity In A549 Respiratory Cells Is Causally Linked To Oxidative Stress, Lee Gloyne, Gary Grant, Anthony Perkins, Katie Powell, Catherine Mcdermott, Peter Johnson, Gregory Anderson, Milton Kiefel, Shailendra Anoopkumar-Dukie

Catherine M. McDermott

Pyocyanin, a virulence factor produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has many damaging effects on mammalian cells. Several lines of evidence suggest that this damage is primarily mediated by its ability to generate ROS and deplete host antioxidant defence mechanisms. However, a causal role for oxidative stress has not yet been demonstrated conclusively. Parallel measures of ROS production, antioxidant levels and cytotoxicity provide convincing evidence that pyocyanin-induced cytotoxicity in A549 respiratory cells is mediated by acute ROS production and subsequent oxidative stress. Pyocyanin increased ROS levels in A549 cells as measured by the fluorescent H2O2 probes Amplex Red and DCFH-DA. These effects …

Preface, Richard B. Philp

Richard B. Philp

Corporate greed, political corruption and callous disregard for workers and the public have led to environmental crises like the Gulf oil spill of 2010, the ongoing controversy over gas fracking and the Halliburton loophole which allows drilling right next to people's water supply, the Alberta tar sands, and repeated mine accidents where safety rules have been disregarded. Our insatiable thirst for energy has led to drilling in ever more difficult and environmentally fragile environments. New technologies may offer some hope of mitigating the damage we cause to the environment.


Environmental Issues For The Twenty-First Century And Their Impact On Human Health, Richard Philp Feb 2012

Environmental Issues For The Twenty-First Century And Their Impact On Human Health, Richard Philp

Richard B. Philp

This e-book documents environmental hazards from disasters such as the Gulf oil spill, from pollution resulting from resource exploitation, from contamination of the marine environment and from climate change including the role of human source greenhouse gases. Pollution from the electronic industry is a recent and serious threat to human and environmental health. The final chapter offers some means of preventing or reversing these hazards.
