“…1 O 2 is known to be the main ROS produced by photosensitization (56) be involved in the activation mechanism. However, the role of 1 O 2 as mediator in NF-B activation by PPME photosensitization could be considered unlikely because (i) none of the tested antioxidants (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) capable of quenching 1 O 2 inhibit NF-B activation and (ii) no lipoperoxide can be detected in photosensitized HCT-116 cells.…”

“…Inside cells, 1 O 2 can be genotoxic when generated in the vicinity of DNA, e.g. by irradiation in the presence of a hydrophilic photosensitizer such as RB or with photosensitizers having DNA affinity [47,48]. When 1 O 2 is generated outside cells, its primary target is the membrane where it can initiate lipid peroxidation [49] or protein oxidation at the level of aromatic residues [50].…”

“…C, susceptibility of dGuo residues to damage by free singlet oxygen. The finding that blocking lesions at dGuo residues are also produced by another singlet-oxygen generator, proflavine and visible light (43), favors the latter explanation. In contrast, the argument for region-specific generation of singlet oxygen is favored by the observation that 53% of the single-base mutations occur at the G position in the sequence CGT.…”
