A-431

Human

A-431 is a cell line exhibiting epithelial morphology that was isolated from the epidermis of an 85-year-old female patient with epidermoid carcinoma. This cell line is one of a series of cell lines established from solid tumors by D.J. Giard, et al. and can be used in cancer, toxicology, and immuno-oncology research.

8-Hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) is another critical biomarker for oxidative stress. It is one of the major products generated in oxidative DNA damage by ROS. DNA oxidative damage ELISA kits are available to assess 8-OH-dG levels as an oxidative stress marker.

Oxidative Stress Assays

Disturbance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals and antioxidant mechanisms is defined as the oxidative stress, or more precisely, it is an imbalance between the oxidant and antioxidant state in cells. This imbalance can cause harmful effects to cells and biomolecules, which ultimately causes adverse effects in the whole organism. Oxidative imbalance can target important proteinsand lipids in cells, which can increase the risk of developing a cancer. On the other hand, increased ROS production in cancer cells by certain cancer drugs can also arrest cancer cell cycle and cause senescence and apoptosis through oxidative stress.
