Macrophages are key cells of the immune system. Immunologically activated macrophages are known to release a cocktail of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. In this work, RAW 264.7 macrophages were activated by interferon-gamma and lipopolysaccharide, and the reactive mixture released by single cells was analyzed, in real time, by amperometry at platinized carbon microelectrodes. In comparison with untreated macrophages, significant increases in amperometric responses were observed for activated macrophages. Nitric oxide (NO center dot), nitrite (NO2-), and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) were the main reactive species detected. The amounts of these reactive species were quantified, and their over-age fluxes released single, activated mocrophage were evaluated. The detection of ONOO- is of particular interest, as its role and implications in various physiological conditions have been widely debated. Herein, direct evidence for the formation of ONOO- in stimulated mocrophages is presented. Finally, the presence of 1400W, a selective inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor, led to an almost complete attenuation of the amperometric response of activated RAW 264.7 cells. The majority of the reactive species released by a macrophage are thus likely to be derived from NO center dot and superoxide (O-2(center dot-)) co-produced by iNOS.
