Artifacts in Cell Culture: Rapid Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide on Addition of (−)-Epigallocatechin, (−)-Epigallocatechin Gallate, (+)-Catechin, and Quercetin to Commonly Used Cell Culture Media
Abstract
There is considerable current interest in the possible beneficial health effects of quercetin, catechins, epigallocatechins, epigallocatechin gallates, and related phenolic compounds found in teas, wines, and other plant products. As a result, many laboratories are studying the effects of these compounds on cells in culture. The present paper shows that addition of these compounds to commonly used cell culture media leads to generation of substantial amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium gives the highest H(2)O(2) level for all the compounds tested, with levels reaching >400 microM within 2 h for addition of 1 mM concentrations of gallic acid, epigallocatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin. Catechin and quercetin produced lower, but still significant, levels of H(2)O(2). McCoy's 5A and RPMI 1640 media also promoted H(2)O(2) production from the above phenolic compounds. This rapid generation of H(2)O(2) could account for some or all of the reported effects of phenolic compounds on cells in culture.

A variety of antioxidants can act as pro-oxidants and promote the production of OH• radicals in the presence of inappropriately or inadequately liganded Fe(II).
“One interpretation for these disappointing results, that is consistent with the general theme of this review, involves the recognition that a variety of antioxidants can in fact act as pro-oxidants and thus actually promote the production of OH• radicals in the presence of inappropriately or inadequately liganded Fe(II) [130,528,1602,1604,1659,1660].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
