Recent studies have revealed that visible-light (VL)-irradiated camphorquinone (CQ), in the presence of a tertiary amine (e.g., N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, DMT), generates initiating radicals that may indiscriminately react with molecular oxygen forming reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, the ability of the antioxidants N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) and ascorbic acid (AA) to reduce intracellular oxidative stress induced by VL-irradiated CQ/DMT or VL-irradiated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was assessed in an immortalized Murine cementoblast cell line (OCCM.30) and an immortalized Murine fibroblast cell line, 3T3-Swiss albino (3T3). Intracellular oxidative stress was measured with the membrane permeable dye, 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCF-DA). VL-irradiated CQ/DMT and VL-irradiated H2O2 each produced significantly (p<0.001p<0.001) elevated intracellular oxidative levels in both cell types compared to intracellular ROS levels in VL-irradiated untreated cells. OCCM.30 cementoblasts were found to be almost twice as sensitive to VL-irradiated CQ/DMT and VL-irradiated H2O2 treatment compared to 3T3 fibroblasts. Furthermore, 10 mm NAC and 10 mm AA each eliminated oxidative stress induced by VL-irradiated CQ/DMT and VL-irradiated H2O2 in both cell types. Our results suggest that NAC and AA may effectively reduce or eliminate oxidative stress in cells exposed to VL-irradiated CQ/DMT following polymerization.
