Abstract
Histochemistry is an essential analytical tool interfacing extensively with plant science. The literature is indeed constellated with examples showing its use to decipher specific physiological and developmental processes, as well as to study plant cell structures. Plant cell structures are translucent unless they are stained. Histochemistry allows the identification and localization, at the cellular level, of biomolecules and organelles in different types of cells and tissues, based on the use of specific staining reactions and imaging. Histochemical techniques are also widely used for the in vivo localization of promoters in specific tissues, as well as to identify specific cell wall components such as lignin and polysaccharides. Histochemistry also enables the study of plant reactions to environmental constraints, e.g. the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be traced by applying histochemical staining techniques. The possibility of detecting ROS and localizing them at the cellular level is vital in establishing the mechanisms involved in the sensitivity and tolerance to different stress conditions in plants. This review comprehensively highlights the additional value of histochemistry as a complementary technique to high-throughput approaches for the study of the plant response to environmental constraints. Moreover, here we have provided an extensive survey of the available plant histochemical staining methods used for the localization of metals, minerals, secondary metabolites, cell wall components, and the detection of ROS production in plant cells. The use of recent technological advances like CRISPR/Cas9-based genome-editing for histological application is also addressed. This review also surveys the available literature data on histochemical techniques used to study the response of plants to abiotic stresses and to identify the effects at the tissue and cell levels.

Abstract
Growing interest in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and other intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) has led to emerging evidence implicating a role for oxidative stress. However, understanding the strength of this association is made challenging by the use of a variety of purported biomarkers of oxidative stress, many of which have either uncertain specificity or flawed methods of analysis. This review aims to address this issue, which is widespread in the ASD and IDD literature, by providing readers with information concerning the strengths and limitations of the choice and analysis of biomarkers of oxidative stress. We highlight that biomarkers and assays should be specific, sensitive, reproducible, precise, robust, and chosen with careful consideration. Future studies should be sufficiently powered and address sample collection, processing, and storage which are, additionally, poorly considered, sources of bad practice, and potential errors. Only with these issues considered, will the data lead to conclusions as to the precise role of oxidative stress in ASDs and IDD.

Abstract
Photosensitizing flavoproteins have great potential as tags for correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM). We examine the photostability of miniSOG mutants and their ability to photo-oxidize diaminobenzidine, both key aspects for CLEM. Our experiments reveal a complex relation between these parameters and the production of different reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Previous studies have proved that waterlogging stress accelerates the programmed cell death (PCD) progress of wheat endosperm cells. A highly waterlogging-tolerant wheat cultivar Hua 8 and a waterlogging susceptible wheat cultivar Hua 9 were treated with different waterlogging durations, and then, dynamic changes of reactive oxygen species (ROS), gene expressions, and activities of antioxidant enzymes in endosperm cells were detected. The accumulation of ROS increased considerably after 7 days of waterlogging treatment (7 DWT) and 12 DWT in both cultivars compared with control group (under non-waterlogged conditions), culminated at 12 DAF (days after flowering) and reduced hereafter. Waterlogging resulted in a great increase of H2O2 and O2 (-) in plasma membranes, cell walls, mitochondrias, and intercellular spaces with ultracytochemical localization. Moreover, the deformation and rupture of cytomembranes as well as the swelling and distortion of mitochondria were obvious. Under waterlogging treatment conditions, catalase (CAT) gene expression increased in endosperm of Hua 8 but activity decreased. In addition, Mn superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene expression and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased. Compared with Hua 8, both CAT, MnSOD gene expressions and CAT, SOD activities decreased in Hua 9. Moreover, ascorbic acid and mannitol relieve the intensifying of PCD processes in Hua 8 endosperm cells induced by waterlogging. These results indicate that ROS have important roles in the PCD of endosperm cells, the changes both CAT, MnSOD gene expressions and CAT, SOD activities directly affected the accumulation of ROS in two different wheat cultivars under waterlogging, ultimately led to the PCD acceleration of endosperm.

Abstract
We examined the effects of Cd on growth, lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, antioxidant enzymatic activity, and lignin content in the roots of two varieties of Vicia sativa. Treatment with Cd decreased plant growth and increased ROS and lipid peroxidation levels to a greater extent in the Cd-sensitive variety ZM than in the Cd-tolerant variety L3. Most hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2(•-)) were accumulated in the cell walls and extracellular spaces in response to Cd treatments. Chemical assays and experiments using inhibitors showed that larger increases in H2O2 and O2(•-) production in ZM than in L3 were probably attributed to elevated Cd-induced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-peroxidase (NADH-POD) activity. Cd treatment increased the accumulation of lignin and the guaiacol peroxidase (GPOD) activities in the apoplast more significantly in ZM root than in L3. Howerver, root laccase activity was higher in L3 than in ZM. Thus Cd toxicity induced significant lignification in the roots of V. sativa, and increases in H2O2 accumulation and apoplastic GPOD activity were likely responsible for this effect.

Abstract
In maize, the structure of bundle sheath cell (BSC) chloroplasts is less subject to salinity stress than that of mesophyll cell (MC) chloroplasts. To elucidate the difference in sensitivity to salinity, antioxidant capacities and localization of reactive oxygen species were investigated in both chloroplasts. Transmission electron microscopic observation showed that O2 (-) localization was found in both chloroplasts under salinity, but the accumulation was much greater in MC chloroplasts. H2 O2 localization was observed only in MC chloroplasts of salt-treated plants. In isolated chloroplasts, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1) were increased by salinity. While the enhancement of SOD activity was similar in both chloroplasts, the increase of APX and DHAR activities were more pronounced in BSC chloroplasts than in MC chloroplasts. Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR, EC 1.6.5.4) and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) were undetectable in BSC chloroplasts, while they increased in MC chloroplasts under salinity. Although ascorbate content increased by salinity only in BSC chloroplasts, glutathione content increased significantly in both chloroplasts, and was higher in MC chloroplasts than in BSC chloroplasts. The content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, which is an indicator of lipid peroxidation, was significantly increased by salinity in both chloroplasts. These results suggested O2 (-) -scavenging capacity was comparable between both chloroplasts, whereas H2 O2 -scavenging capacity was lower in MC chloroplasts than in BSC chloroplasts. Moreover, the increased lipid peroxidation under salinity was associated with the structural alteration in MC chloroplasts, while it had less impact on the structure of BSC chloroplasts.

Abstract
Hypothermia is employed as a method to diminish metabolism rates and preserve tissues and cells. However, low temperatures constitute a stress that produces biochemical changes whose extension depends on the duration and degree of cold exposure and is manifested when physiological temperature is restored. For many cellular types, cold induces an oxidative stress that is dependent on the elevation of intracellular iron, damages macromolecules, and is prevented by the addition of iron chelators. Pisum sativum Ferredoxin-NADP(H) Reductase (FNR) has been implicated in protection from injury mediated by intracellular iron increase and successfully used to reduce oxidative damage on bacterial, plant and mammalian systems. In this work, FNR was expressed in Cos-7 cells; then, they were submitted to cold incubation and iron overload to ascertain whether this enzyme was capable of diminishing the harm produced by these challenges. Contrary to expected, FNR was not protective and even exacerbated the damage under certain circumstances. It was also found that the injury induced by hypothermia in Cos-7 cells presented both iron-dependent and iron-independent components of damage when cells were actively dividing but only iron-independent component when cells were in an arrested state. This is in agreement with previous findings which showed that iron-dependent damage is also an energy-dependent process.

Abstract
We examined ameliorative effects of salicylic acid (SA) on two cadmium (Cd)-stressed legume crops with different Cd tolerances, viz. Phaseolus aureus (Cd sensitive) and Vicia sativa (Cd tolerant). Cd at 50 μM significantly increased the production of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and superoxide anion (O(2)(·-) ) in root apoplasts of P. aureus and V. sativa. When comparing the two species, we determined that Cd-induced production of H(2)O(2) and O(2)(·-) was more pronounced in P. aureus root apoplasts than in V. sativa root apoplasts. V. sativa had higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) than P. aureus in root symplasts and apoplasts. Seed-soaking pretreatment with 100 μM SA decreased Cd-induced production of H(2)O(2) and O(2)(·-) in apoplasts of both species, and increased activities of symplastic and apoplastic SOD, symplastic APX, and apoplastic CAT under Cd stress. Hence, SA-induced Cd tolerances in P. aureus and V. sativa are likely associated with increases in symplastic and apoplastic antioxidant enzyme activities.

Abstract
The effects of excess copper (Cu) on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant enzyme activities in leaves of the Cu-accumulator Elsholtzia haichowensis Sun were investigated. The addition of 100 microM of copper significantly increased the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and other antioxidant enzymes. The increase in SOD activity was attributable to an increase in apoplastic and symplastic copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) activity. Induction of CuZn-SOD proteins was demonstrated by immunoblot analysis. This study also provides the first cytochemical evidence of an accumulation of superoxide anion in the chloroplasts of mesophyll cells, and H(2)O(2) in the mesophyll cell walls and extracellular space, as a consequence of Cu treatment. Experiments with diphenyleneiodonium as an inhibitor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase and N-N-diethyldithiocarbamate as an inhibitor of SOD showed that the source of H(2)O(2) in the cell wall could be, in part, NADPH oxidase. Apoplastic guaiacol peroxidase (POD) and symplastic ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities were induced in leaves of E. haichowensis with 100 microM Cu, suggesting that apoplastic POD and symplastic APX may be important in avoiding the buildup of toxic H(2)O(2) concentrations.

Abstract
Production of superoxide anion O2*- by the membrane-bound enzyme NADPH oxidase of phagocytes is a long-known phenomenon; it is generally assumed that O2*-helps phagocytes kill bacterial intruders. The details and the chemistry of the killing process have, however, remained a mystery. Isoforms of NADPH oxidase exist in membranes of nearly every cell, suggesting that reactive oxygen species (ROS) participate in intra- and intercellular signaling processes. What the nature of the signal is exactly, how it is transmitted, and what structural characteristics a receptor of a "radical message" must have, have not been addressed convincingly. This review discusses how the action of messengers is in agreement with radical-specific behavior. In search for the smallest common denominator of cellular free radical activity we hypothesize that O2*- and its conjugate acid, HO2*, may have evolved under primordial conditions as regulators of membrane mechanics and that isoprostanes, widely used markers of "oxidative stress", may be an adventitious correlate of this biologic activity of O2*-/HO2*. An overall picture is presented that suggests that O2*-/HO2* radicals, by modifying cell membranes, help other agents gain access to the hydrophobic region of phospholipid bilayers and hence contribute to lipid-dependent signaling cascades. With this, O2*-/HO2* are proposed as indispensable adjuvants for the generation of cellular signals, for membrane transport, channel gating and hence, in a global sense, for cell viability and growth. We also suggest that many of the allegedly O2*- dependent bacterial pathologies and carcinogenic derailments are due to membrane-modifying activity rather than other chemical reactions of O2*-/HO2*. A consequence of this picture is the potential evolution of the "radical theory of ageing" to a "lipid theory of aging".

Abstract
Subcellular compartmentalization of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a critical role in transmitting cell signals in response to environmental stimuli. In this regard, signals at the plasma membrane have been shown to trigger NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS production within the endosomal compartment and this step can be required for redox-dependent signal transduction. Unique features of redox-active signaling endosomes can include NADPH oxidase complex components (Nox1, Noxo1, Noxa1, Nox2, p47phox, p67phox, and/or Rac1), ROS processing enzymes (SOD1 and/or peroxiredoxins), chloride channels capable of mediating superoxide transport and/or membrane gradients required for Nox activity, and novel redox-dependent sensors that control Nox activity. This review will discuss the cytokine and growth factor receptors that likely mediate signaling through redox-active endosomes, and the common mechanisms whereby they act. Additionally, the review will cover ligand-independent environmental injuries, such as hypoxia/reoxygenation injury, that also appear to facilitate cell signaling through NADPH oxidase at the level of the endosome. We suggest that redox-active endosomes encompass a subset of signaling endosomes that we have termed redoxosomes. Redoxosomes are uniquely equipped with redox-processing proteins capable of transmitting ROS signals from the endosome interior to redox-sensitive effectors on the endosomal surface. In this manner, redoxosomes can control redox-dependent effector functions through the spatial and temporal regulation of ROS as second messengers.

Abstract
Using both histochemical and cytochemical methods, we investigated the effects of copper (Cu) on the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2(.-)) in the leaves of the moss Plagiomnium cuspidatum. Cu treatment significantly increased the contents of total thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and H2O2, as well as the activity of guaiacol peroxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Native PAGE detected all three forms of SOD (Mn-SOD, Fe-SOD and CuZn-SOD) in P. cuspidatum, and the increase in the total SOD activity appeared to be mainly caused by an increase in CuZn-SOD activity. According to cytochemical results, H2O2-dependent CeCl3 precipitates were primarily localized in the plasma membranes and cell walls, and O2(.-) was chiefly localized on the inner side of the plasma membrane and in the cytoplasm surrounding the chloroplasts. Experiments using imidazole as an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, N-N-diethyldithiocarbamate as an inhibitor of CuZn-SOD, and 1,2-dihydroxybenzene-3,5-disulphonic acid as an O2(.-) scavenger indicated that a partial source of H2O2 in the cell walls may be NADPH oxidase. The results also showed that peroxidase (POD) is involved in the detoxification of H2O2. Increased POD activity induced by Cu may remove excess H2O2 caused by Cu.

Phagocytic leukocytes consume oxygen and generate reactive oxygen species in response to appropriate stimuli. The phagocyte NADPH oxidase, a multiprotein complex, existing in the dissociated state in resting cells becomes assembled into the functional oxidase complex upon stimulation and then generates superoxide anions. Biochemical aspects of the NADPH oxidase are briefly discussed in this review; however, the major focus relates to the contributions of various modes of microscopy to our understanding of the NADPH oxidase and the cell biology of phagocytic leukocytes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cellular and molecular sources of oxidative stress in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through analysis of the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in synovium. METHODS Cytochemical procedures based on the 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB)-Mn2+ deposition technique were used on unfixed cryostat sections of synovium from RA patients and rheumatic disease controls. For immunophenotyping, sections were incubated, fixed, and stained with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled antibodies. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis of the ROS-reactive dye 6-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate-di(acetoxymethyl ester) was used to measure intracellular ROS in T lymphocytes from peripheral blood and synovial fluid. To determine which enzymes produced ROS, different inhibitors were tested. RESULTS Large quantities of DAB precipitated in the majority of RA synovial T lymphocytes, indicative of intracellular ROS production. These ROS-producing T lymphocytes were observed throughout the synovium. Polymerization of DAB was observed to a lesser extent in other forms of chronic arthritis, but was absent in osteoarthritis. DAB staining of cytospin preparations of purified RA synovial fluid T cells confirmed the presence of ROS-producing cells. One of the ROS involved appeared to be H2O2, since catalase suppressed intracellular ROS production. Superoxide dismutase, which uses superoxide as a substrate to form H2O2, diphenyleneiodonium (an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase), N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (an inhibitor of lipoxygenase), and rotenone (an inhibitor of mitochondrial ROS production) failed to suppress ROS production. CONCLUSION Our findings show that chronic oxidative stress observed in synovial T lymphocytes is not secondary to exposure to environmental free radicals, but originates from intracellularly produced ROS. Additionally, our data suggest that one of the intracellularly generated ROS is H2O2, although the oxidase(s) involved in its generation remains to be determined.

Abstract
Here we show, by spectrophotometry and enzyme cytochemical methods, that turbot neutrophils and gilthead seabream acidophils responded in a similar way when incubated with PMA or with particulate glucans. Cells stimulated with PMA released high amounts of superoxide both intra- and extracellularly. However, O2- was mainly released intracellularly when cells were incubated with particulate glucans. Small glucan particles were quickly phagocytosed and O2- was initially produced in intracellular vesicles and tubular structures that later fused with the phagosome or with the cell membrane. Large glucan filaments that were not phagocytosed also induced cell stimulation and O2- was also produced in intracellular vesicles which then appeared to fuse with the cell membrane. We conclude that, in stimulated turbot neutrophils and gilthead seabream acidophils, superoxide production is carried out initially in intracellular compartments that are very similar to those described in mammalian neutrophils.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species produced by activated neutrophils and monocytes are thought to be involved in mediating the loss of collagen and other matrix proteins at sites of inflammation. To evaluate their potential to oxidize the pyridinoline (Pyd) cross-links found in collagen types I and II, we reacted hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite (HOCl/OCl(-)), and singlet oxygen (O(2)((1)delta g)) with the Pyd substitutes, pyridoxamine dihydrochloride and vitamin B(6), which share the same chemical structure and spectral properties of Pyd cross-links. Neither H(2)O(2) (125-500 microm) nor O(2)((1)delta g) (10-25 microm) significantly changed the spectral properties of pyridoxamine or vitamin B(6). Reaction of HOCl/OCl(-) (12.5-50 microm) with pyridoxamine at pH 7.2 resulted in a concentration-dependent appearance of two new absorbance peaks and a decrease in fluorescence at 400 nm (excitation 325 nm). The new absorbance peaks correlated with the formation of an N-chloramine and the product of its subsequent reaction with pyridoxamine. In contrast, the extent to which HOCl reacted with vitamin B(6), which lacks a primary amine group, was variable at this pH. At lysosomal pH 5.5, Cl(2)/HOCl/OCl(-) reacted with both pyridoxamine and vitamin B(6). Four of the chlorinated products of this reaction were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and included 3-chloropyridinium, an aldehyde, and several chlorinated products with disrupted rings. To evaluate the effects of Cl(2)/HOCl/OCl(-) on Pyd cross-links in collagen, we exposed bone collagen type I and articular cartilage type II to HOCl. Treatment of either collagen type with HOCl at pH 5. 0 or 7.2 resulted in the oxidation of amine groups and, for collagen type II, the specific decrease in Pyd cross-link fluorescence, suggesting that during inflammation both oxidations may be used by neutrophils and monocytes to promote the loss of matrix integrity.

Abstract
Rates of H(2)O(2) production by tobacco suspension cells inoculated with zoospores from compatible or incompatible races of the pathogen Phytophthora nicotianae were followed by direct measurement of oxygen evolution from culture supernatants following catalase addition. Rates of HO(2)(*)/O(2)(-) production were compared by following the formation of the formazan of sodium, 3'-[1-[phenylamino-carbonyl]-3,4-tetrazolium]-bis(4-methoxy-6-nitro) benzene-sulfonic acid hydrate. In the incompatible interaction only, both reactive oxygen species (ROS) were produced by the cultured host cells in a minor burst between 0 and 2 h and then in a major burst between 8 and 12 h after inoculation. Absolute levels of H(2)O(2) could not be accurately measured due to its metabolism by host cells, but results are consistent with the majority of H(2)O(2) being formed via dismutation of HO(2)(*)/O(2)(-). The effects of inhibitors of endogenous Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (diethyldithiocarbamate) and catalase (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole and salicylic acid) were also examined. Yields of ROS in the presence of the inhibitors diphenylene iodonium, allopurinol, and salicylhydroxamic acid suggest that ROS were generated in incompatible host responses by more than one mechanism.

Abstract
Superoxide anion production in neutrophils plays an important role in the microbicidal defense system in the body. In this study, isolated rat neutrophils were stimulated experimentally and examined by electron microscopy to determine the site of superoxide production and its subsequent translocation during different cell stimulation time periods. Blood and peritoneal neutrophils were incubated for periods of 5, 10, and 15 min with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP), and combinations of PMA and cytochalasin B (CB) and fMLP and CB. Ultracytochemical detection of O(2)(-) was performed with the 3, 3'-diaminobenzidine-manganese (DAB/Mn) cytochemical method and cationized ferritin (CF) particles were added to stimulation media to monitor endocytotic events that occurred during neutrophil stimulation. Unstimulated neutrophils were devoid of O(2)(-) activity in cytoplasmic granules and at the plasma membrane surface. After 5 min stimulations with PMA, PMA + CB, or fMLP + CB, electron-dense DAB/Mn reaction product was detected in small, centrally located tubular compartments within the neutrophils. CF particles which were added to the stimulation media became internalized in endocytotic vesicles after 5 min stimulation; these vesicles were devoid of O(2)(-) activity. At 10 min stimulation with PMA, O(2)(-)-positive granules subsequently fused with each other and translocated to sub-plasma membrane regions where they either contacted the plasma membrane or fused with CF-containing endocytotic vesicles. Little reaction product was observed on the surface of the neutrophils. Spectrophotometric comparison of the stimulatory effects of PMA, fMLP, and fMLP + CB revealed different rates and yields of O(2)(-) production. Results from this study suggest that the O(2)(-)-producing sites of rat neutrophils originate intracellularly and translocate to the plasma membrane surface following stimulation with PMA, PMA + CB, and fMLP + CB, but not with fMLP or CB alone. Furthermore, these compartments appear to possess the ability to fuse with endocytotic vesicles, a process that may be linked to intracellular microbicidal activity in circulating and tissue neutrophils.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to detect oxidant-producing sites, and to elucidate their dynamic reorganization in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) fixed with glutaraldehyde which preserves cell structure. In biochemical analyses, the detectable O2- generation in unfixed PMNs upon stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in the presence of cytochalasin B was characterized by a lag period of approximately 10 sec followed by O2- production. The maximal rate reached was 3.18+/-0.07 nmol/min/l x 10(6) cells (mean+/-S.D.; n = 4) after 30 sec of stimulation. PMNs exposed to PMA and cytochalasin B followed by fixation with glutaraldehyde generated O2- without a lag period at a rate of 0.35+/-0.05 n mol/min/l x 10(6) cells (mean+/-S.D.) by the addition of NADPH as substrate to the cell suspension. In the cytochemical assays, we employed both cells exposed to PMA and cytochalasin B, and then fixed with glutaraldehyde followed by incubation in the cytochemical reaction medium (pre-fixed cells) and cells incubated in the medium containing PMA and cytochalasin B followed by fixation with glutaraldehyde (post-fixed cells). Oxidant reaction in the pre-fixed cells was detected by the addition of NADPH and FAD to the reaction medium. No oxidant-reaction product was seen in pre-fixed cells stimulated for 10 sec whereas the oxidant reaction was visualized in intracellular compartments of pre-fixed PMNs stimulated for 20 sec. The fact that the pre-fixed PMNs stimulated for 30 sec showed increased numbers of oxidant-producing structures compared to those seen in the pre-fixed cells stimulated for 20 sec, demonstrates that the amount of the reaction product and the number of oxidant-producing intracellular compartments increases between 20 and 30 sec after start of stimulation with PMA. These cytochemical results using the pre-fixed cells coincided with the findings obtained from the biochemical assays in the pre-fixed cells exposed to PMA and cytochalasin B. The oxidant reaction was observed in elongated tubular structures that were arranged in a radial fashion, and were associated with the plasma membrane in the pre-fixed PMNs, whereas post-fixed PMNs exhibited slender spherical or rod-shaped structures of various lengths. The present results indicate that the pre-fixed PMNs can be employed for elucidating the dynamic reorganization of oxidant-producing sites in human PMNs.

Abstract
In this study, we show that superoxide production is carried out within intracellular compartments of human neutrophils and not at the plasma membrane following stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate. Oxidant production was not observed in unstimulated cells. Stimulated cells exhibited superoxide production in two distinct types of intracellular organelles. Initially, activity was detected in slender rod-shaped granules and in spherical or elliptical granules. The oxidant-producing granules fused directly with the plasma membrane or fused to form larger intracellular vesicles which then became associated with the plasma membrane. Longer periods of stimulation with PMA resulted in a decrease in the number of vesicles containing oxidant reaction product only, and an increase in structures containing both the oxidant-reaction product and ferritin particles; the latter was used herein as a marker for endocytosis. Thus a complex pattern of intracellular vesicular trafficking occurs in stimulated neutrophils. Alkaline phosphatase activity, a marker enzyme for a type of intracellular neutrophil granule was co-localized in the oxidant reaction-positive intracellular compartments. The time course of up-regulation of alkaline phosphatase activity to the cell surface parallelled the release of superoxide from stimulated cells. Results from this study demonstrate for the first time cytochemical and morphological evidence that superoxide is released from stimulated neutrophils through exocytosis of an oxidant-producing intracellular granule.

Abstract
Sheep airway mucus can potently scavenge hydrogen peroxide, an important mediator of airway inflammation. Here, the scavenging activity was identified as a peroxidase produced by goblet cells of the airway epithelium and secreted into the airway lumen. Ovine airway peroxidase activity was purified approximately 100-fold from airway lavage fluid in two steps, using cation exchange and lectin affinity chromatography, yielding an apparently homogeneous 82-kD glycoprotein. Ovine airway peroxidase represented about 1% of the total protein in airway mucus and thus was an abundant enzyme in airway secretions. The absorbance spectrum of the purified peroxidase showed a major peak at 412 nm indicative of a hemoprotein. The ratio of A412/A280 of the purified enzyme was 0.86. The absorption spectrum of ovine airway peroxidase, its ability to oxidize halides, its sensitivity to inhibitors and its apparent molecular mass on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels showed that airway peroxidase was similar to lactoperoxidase but distinguished from myeloperoxidase, eosinophil peroxidase as well as from glutathione peroxidases. Based on these observations, ovine airway peroxidase is a newly isolated and abundant enzyme of airway mucus which may function to control reactive oxygen species in the airway and to prevent infection by catalyzing the formation of biocidal compounds.

Abstract
In the present study, the endogenous formation of reactive oxygen species was localized in rat liver and small intestine. The 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB)-Mn2+ technique in which cobalt ions were included in the incubation medium was applied to unfixed cryostat sections of intact tissues. Addition of manganese ions to the DAB-Co(2+)-containing medium greatly increased the amounts of final reaction product formed compared with incubations with only DAB and cobalt ions. In liver, a blue final reaction product was deposited, particularly in hepatocytes surrounding portal tracts. In the small intestine, the DAB-cobalt complex was mainly found at the basal side of enterocytes. Goblet cells remained unstained. Electron microscopical images revealed that an electron-dense reaction product was exclusively present at both inner and outer membranes and at the intermembrane space in mitochondria of liver parenchymal cells and duodenal enterocytes. It was shown that the spontaneous formation of final reaction product was enzymatic and dependent on the presence of oxygen in the medium. Sulphide decreased the reaction, which may indicate that cytochrome c oxidase was partially involved. Benzoquinone and histidine, which are scavengers of superoxide anions and singlet oxygen respectively, reduced the amount of final reaction product considerably. Furthermore, the formation of final reaction product was sensitive to specific inhibitors of NADH:coenzyme Q reductase and aldehyde oxidase, indicating that these enzymes were at least partly responsible for the generation of superoxide anions and singlet oxygen and for the formation of the DAB-cobalt complex.

Abstract
The NADPH oxidase complex catalyzes the formation of superoxide (O2.-) in phagocytic leukocytes. This paper reviews recent advances in our understanding of this enzyme system. Recent studies have defined conditions for reconstitution of this enzymatic activity with purified proteins in a cell-free system. The role of the individual proteins that make up the active complex, their regulation and the effects of mutations in these proteins are discussed. While these studies represent major achievements, it is clear from cytochemical investigations that additional levels of complexity exist in the modulation of the NADPH oxidase complex in vivo. A major role for cytochemical analysis in understanding the cell biological aspects of the generation of reactive oxygen species is discussed.

Abstract
This retrospective reviews the methodology we have developed over several decades for detecting reactive oxygen species (ROS), using the activated polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) as the paradigm of a cell which vigorously generates ROS through activation of NADPH oxidase. In the seventies, the sites of ROS generation by PMN were not clear from biochemical data, and we sought to develop new methods for the cytochemical localization of O2.-, H2O2, and the H2O2-myeloperoxidase (MPO)-halide system. The H2O2-MPO-halide system in phagocytosing cells was localized at the fine structural level by our development of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) as a cytochemical probe for detecting peroxidase activities. Using DAB and exogenous H2O2, we confirmed that azurophil granules discharged MPO into the phagosome, and using particles coated with DAB and relying on endogenous H2O2 to yield oxidized DAB, H2O2 was localized to phagolysosomes. The subcellular sites of H2O2 generation were shown using cerium ions which react with H2O2 and precipitate electron opaque cerium perhydroxides (Ce(OH)2OOH and Ce(OH)3OOH). The results suggested that NADPH oxidase is associated with the plasma lemma, and that the enzyme enters the phagosome along with the invaginating plasmalemma, accounting for the presence of H2O2 in the phagosome. As O2.- is the major product of NADPH oxidase, its detection was of some importance. Based on the concept that O2.- oxidizes Mn2+ to Mn3+, and Mn3+ oxidizes DAB, a medium containing DAB-Mn2+ was used to localize sites of O2.- production in stimulated PMN. The localizations were, as expected, similar to those for H2O2. These techniques have been of considerable usefulness and in general provide the foundation for cytochemistry of ROS in other systems.

Abstract
Recent reports have suggested that production of superoxide or other reactive oxygen species by activated osteoclasts may play a role in the complex process of bone resorption; however, the enzyme responsible for production of superoxide by osteoclasts has not been characterized. To determine if osteoclasts express NADPH-oxidase, a superoxide-generating enzyme found in phagocytic leukocytes, immunohistochemical studies were performed on tibia from 1-5-d-old rats using mAbs 449 and 48 and an antiserum specific for p47-phox. These antibodies recognize epitopes on the alpha and beta subunits of cytochrome b558, respectively, and the p47 cytosolic component of NADPH-oxidase. We found that osteoclasts attached to bone surfaces in tibia expressed all three components, as did mature polymorphonuclear and some mononuclear leukocytes in the bone marrow. In many adherent osteoclasts, the cytochrome b558 subunits were localized to the ruffled-border and bone interfaces. Studies were also performed on mature rat tibia that had undergone controlled fracture. By two weeks the healing fractures develop a callus rich in actively resorbing osteoclasts. Osteoclasts within the calluses, and attached to bone surface, also expressed the cytochrome b558 proteins. In addition to demonstrating the expression of NADPH-oxidase, the active production of superoxide by osteoclasts was also demonstrated in situ in freshly isolated tibia using 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB)-Mn2+, a histochemical method specific for superoxide localization. Osteoclasts attached to bone surfaces contained deposits of oxidized DAB which were observed by light microscopy. Nonstimulated polymorphonuclear and mononuclear leukocytes in the bone marrow did not contain DAB deposits unless stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate, a known activator of NADPH-oxidase. These findings indicate that osteoclasts contain NADPH-oxidase, and during the process of resorbing bone, are actively producing superoxide.
