胞内SOD1活性的ATSM抑制对ERK信号通路的影响

铜锌超氧化物歧化酶(SOD1)是胞内分布最广的最重要的抗氧化酶之一,其功能是催化超氧阴离子(O??2)歧化为过氧化氢(H2O2),维持胞内O??2和H2O2的内稳态浓度.高浓度的H2O2通过可逆氧化修饰信号蛋白(如磷酸酶)活性部位的半胱氨酸残基,导致胞内活性氧(ROS)信号通路异常.以对Cu2+有高亲和力的ATSM为螯合剂,夺取SOD1活性部位中的铜,使其失活.在不影响细胞内SOD1表达的情况下,ATSM有效抑制了SOD1的活性,改变了胞内O??2和H2O2的相对浓度,降低了MAPK信号通路中ERK的磷酸化水平.

MECHANISMS FOR LUMINOL-AUGMENTED CHEMILUMINESCENCE FROM NEUTROPHILS INDUCED BY LEUKOTRIENE B4 AND N-FORMYL-METHIONYL-LEUCYL-PHENYLALANINE

Neutrophils stimulated with formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) or leukotriene B4 (LTB4) generated kinetically distinctive luminol augmented chemiluminescence (LCL). Inhibitors of .O2- [superoxide-dismutase (SOD) or tiron], H2O2 (catalase), myeloperoxidase, MPO, (NaN3), HOCl (taurine) and .OH (mannitol) hampered LCL dose-dependently with similar characteristics for both stimuli. In cell free systems it was found that .O2- (generated in the xanthine/xanthine-oxidase reaction) or H2O2 produced LCL. Superoxide dismutase inhibited .O2- -induced LCL dose dependently. The MPO + H2O2 system, which generated more pronounced LCL than either component alone, was inhibited by catalase and taurine but not by SOD. When neutrophils, treated with luminol, but where extracellular luminol had been removed, were stimulated with fMLP or LTB4, they produced less than 2% of the LCL where luminol was present in the medium. When neutrophil LCL and superoxide formation by the cytochrome C method were assessed in parallel experiments, in all instances the peak LCL response coincided with the linear phase in that response. Thus, LCL, induced by LTB4 and the corresponding fMLP peak, are extracellular events with similar chemical backgrounds, closely related to generation of reactive oxygen species. Consequently, the kinetical differences in LCL between fMLP and LTB4 suggest that LTB4, by yet unknown mechanisms, activates the NADPH oxidase more rapidly than fMLP.     

Continuous hypoxia attenuates paraquat-induced cytotoxicity in the human A549 lung carcinoma cell line

Paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride; PQ), an effective and widely used herbicide, was commercially introduced in 1962. It is reduced by the electron donor NADPH, and then reduced PQ transfers the electrons to molecular oxygen, resulting in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are related to cellular toxicity. However, the influence of continuous hypoxia on PQ-induced ROS production has not fully been investigated. We evaluated in vitro the protective effect of continuous hypoxia on PQ-induced cytotoxicity in the human carcinogenic alveolar basal epithelial cell line (A549 cells) by using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and live and dead assay, and by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. To elucidate the mechanism underlying this effect, we monitored the immunofluorescence of intracellular ROS and measured malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities. Continuous hypoxia protected the A549 cells from PQ-induced cytotoxicity. Continuous hypoxia for a period of 24 h significantly reduced intracellular ROS, decreased MDA concentration in the supernatant, and normalized SOD and GPx activities. Continuous hypoxia attenuated PQ-induced cell toxicity in A549 cells. This protective effect might be attributable to the suppression of PQ-induced ROS generation.     

Fluorophotometric determination of hydrogen peroxide and other reactive oxygen species with fluorescein hydrazide (FH) and its crystal structure

Methods for the fluorophotometric determination of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) were proposed by using the fluorescence reaction between H(2)O(2) or other ROS and fluorescein hydrazide (FH). In the determination of H(2)O(2), the calibration curve exhibited linearity over the H(2)O(2) concentration range of 2.1-460 ng ml(-1) at an emission wavelength of 527 nm with an excitation of 460 nm and with the relative standard deviations (n=6) of 4.06%, 1.78%, and 2.21% for 3.1 ng ml(-1), 30.8 ng ml(-1), and for 308 ng ml(-1) of H(2)O(2), respectively. The detection limit for H(2)O(2) was 0.7 ng ml(-1) due to three blank determinations (rho=3). The calibration curves for ROS-related compounds were also constructed under the optimum conditions. This method was successfully applied in the assay of H(2)O(2) in human urine. In addition, we performed the characterization of FH, and interesting information was obtained with regard to the relationship between the chemical structure and fluorescence.     

Kazinol Q from Broussonetia kazinoki enhances cell death induced by Cu(II) through increased reactive oxygen species

The ability of the flavan kazinol Q (KQ) to induce DNA breakage in the presence of Cu(II) was examined by agarose gel electrophoresis using supercoiled plasmid DNA. In KQ-mediated DNA breakage reaction, the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS), H(2)O(2) and O(2)- was established by the inhibition of DNA breakage by catalase and revealed DNA breakage by superoxide dismutase (SOD). The cell viability of gastric carcinoma SCM-1 cells treated with various concentrations of KQ was significantly decreased by cotreatment with Cu(II). Treatment of SCM-1 cells with 300 μM Cu(II) enhanced the necrosis induced by 100 μM KQ. Treatment of SCM-1 cells with 100 mM KQ in the presence of 300 mM Cu(II) increased the generation of H(2)O(2). Taken together, the above finding suggested that KQ cotreatment with Cu(II) produced increased amounts of H(2)O(2), thus enhancing subsequent cell death due to necrosis.

Protective effect of total flavonoids from Spirodela polyrrhiza (L.) Schleid on human umbilical vein endothelial cell damage induced by hydrogen peroxide

In this study, we determined the protective effect of total flavonoids from Spirodela polyrrhiza (L.) Schleid (STF), which is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECV-304) damage induced by hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Treated with 1mmol/L H(2)O(2) for 1h, the viability of ECV-304 cells markedly decreased. However, pretreatment with 10-50mug/mL STF resulted in a significant recovery. The survival rate of ECV-304 increased from 21.98% (only treated with 1mmol/L H(2)O(2)) to 64.74% (pretreated with 50microg/mL STF), which accompanied with the amounts of malondialdenhyde (MDA) decreasing from 1.6883nmol/L to 0.9628nmol/L. Furthermore, compared with control group, the 50mumol/L STF pretreatment enhanced the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) by 4.49 times, increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) by 85.12%, 158.94% and 94.5%,respectively, and increased the content of nitric oxide (NO) by 116.55%.Taken together, STF protect ECV-304 cells against H(2)O(2) damage by enhancing the antioxidant ability and increasing NO production.     

Bactericidal mechanism of Ag/Al2O3 against Escherichia coli

The bactericidal process of Ag/Al2O3 to Escherichia coli has been investigated to clarify the bactericidal mechanism. In SEM images, the configuration of E. coli cells contacting with the catalyst surface was quite different from that contacting with AgNO3 solution, which indicated that the Ag+ eluted from the catalyst did not play an important role in the bactericidal process. The bactericidal experiments strongly confirmed the contribution of multiform reactive oxygen species (ROS) (super oxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase as the scavengers for O2*- and H2O2, respectively) to bactericidal effect on the catalyst surface. Furthermore, the surface modification of Ag/Al2O3 by ultraviolet and formaldehyde influenced the bactericidal effect obviously, which not only confirmed the bactericidal mechanism of catalytic oxidation but also provided evidence for the synergistic effect between Ag and Al2O3 on the catalyst surface.     

Skin photosensitizing agents and the role of reactive oxygen species in photoaging.

In this paper, the role of reactive oxygen species in photoaging is presented. Many photosensitizing agents are known to generate reactive oxygen species (singlet oxygen (1O2), superoxide anion (O2.-) and .OH radicals). Although photoaging (dermatoheliosis) of human skin is caused by UVB and UVA radiation, the hypothesis tested here in the pathogenesis of photoaging of human skin is the free radical theory involving the generation of reactive oxygen species by UVA (320-400 nm) radiation and their damaging oxidative effects on cutaneous collagen and other model proteins. The UVA-generated reactive oxygen species cause cross-linking of proteins (e.g. collagen), oxidation of sulfydryl groups causing disulfide cross-links, oxidative inactivation of certain enzymes causing functional impairment of cells (fibroblasts, keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells) and liberation of proteases, collagenase and elastase. The skin-damaging effects of UVA appear to result from type II, oxygen-mediated photodynamic reactions in which UVA or near-UV radiation in the presence of certain photosensitizing chromophores (e.g., riboflavin, porphyrins, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), etc.) leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (1O2, O2.-, .OH). Four specific observations are presented to illustrate the concept: (1) the production of 1O2 and O2.- by UVB, UVA and UVA plus photosensitizing agents (such as riboflavin, porphyrin and 3-carbethoxypsoralens) as a function of UV exposure dose, the sensitizer concentration and the pH of the irradiated solution; (2) the formation of protein cross-links in collagen, catalase and superoxide dismutase by 1O2 and O2.- (.OH) and the resulting denaturation of proteins and enzyme activities as a function of UVA exposure dose; (3) the protective role of selective quenchers of 1O2 and O2.- (e.g. alpha-tocopherol acetate, beta-carotene, sodium azide, ascorbic acid, etc.) against the photoinactivation of enzymes and the prevention of the protein cross-linking reaction; (4) the possible usefulness of certain antioxidants or quenchers that interact with the UVA-induced generation of reactive oxygen species in the amelioration of the process of photoaging.     

Hydrogen bonding interactions in α-substituted cinnamic acid ester derivatives studied by FT–IR spectroscopy and calculations

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions in stereoisomeric α-substituted cinnamic acid methyl esters (methyl 2,3-diphenylpropenoate, methyl 2-phenyl-3-(2′-methoxyphenyl)-propenoate, methyl 2-(2′-methoxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropenoate and methyl-2,3-bis(2′-methoxyphenyl)-propenoate) were studied by FT–IR spectroscopy and model calculations at the semi-empirical quantum chemical level of theory. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds of C–H…O types were found to be general in the solid state, but rare in solution. In this hydrogen bond the carbon may be part of either aromatic ring or the olefinic bond. The hydrogen bond acceptor may be the carbonyl oxygen or the oxygen in the methoxy substituent. Modeling helped in determining probable hydrogen bonding sites and their positions and provided with approximate geometric parameters (bond lengths and angles). Pointing out differences between the stereoisomers was also possible.
