Key Event Relationship Description
Oxidation/denaturation of membrane proteins can lead to inflammatory events via oxidative damage of cellular membranes and increases in expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Necrosis in living tissues can be occurred as an inflammatory events via oxidative damages of membrane proteins.
Evidence Supporting this KER
Biological Plausibility
Oxidative damage of membrane proteins by photoactivated chemicals can cause oxidation and denaturation of proteins, and damaged proteins induces inflammatory events (necrosis) (Dalle Carbonare and Pathak, 1992, Opie, 1962).
Empirical Evidence
Denaturation of proteins induced necrosis and inflammatory in the skin (Opie, 1962).
