黄芩甙及其铜(Ⅱ)、锌(Ⅱ)配合物对超氧自由基的清除作用

 <正> 超氧自由基是生物体内有氧代谢过程中产生的重要自由基之一。它的存在能够直接或间接地引起生物大分子的氧化破坏,诱发膜脂质过氧化,降低膜脂流动性,是生物体衰老和许多疾病产生的重要原因。因此研究和寻找外源性超氧自由基清除剂具有重要的意义。黄酮类化合物大多具有显著的抗膜脂质过氧化活性,这可能与它们的药理活性有关。本文借助于核黄素-甲硫氨酸光照还原模型研究了黄芩甙及其铜(Ⅱ)、锌(Ⅱ)配合物对超氧自由基的清除活性及对完整红细胞和红细胞膜的保护作用。

Differential effect of lipid peroxidation on membrane fluidity as determined by electron spin resonance probes

The effect of lipid peroxidation on membrane fluidity was examined in sonicated soybean phospholipid vesicles. Following iron/ascorbate dependent peroxidation, the vesicles were labeled with a series of doxyl stearate spin probes which differed in the site of attachment of the nitroxide free radical to the fatty acid. Comparison of motional and partitioning parameters derived from electron spin resonance spectra of the probes indicated that the membranes were less fluid following peroxidation. However, the magnitude of the fluidity decrease was markedly dependent on the intramembrane location, as well as on the extent of lipid peroxidation. The effect of lipid peroxidation on fluidity was maximal in the membrane microenvironment sampled by 12-doxyl stearate, whereas other regions of the bilayer were less affected. These findings indicate that lipid peroxidation leads to an alteration of the transbilayer fluidity gradient.     

Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of membrane fluidity in ozone-treated erythrocytes and liposomes

Doxyl stearate spin probes which differed in the attachment of the nitroxide free radical to the fatty acid have been used to study membrane fluidity in ozone-treated bovine erythrocytes and liposomes. Analysis of EPR spectra of spin labels incorporated into lipid bilayer of the erythrocyte membranes indicates an increase in the mobility and decrease in the order of membrane lipids. In isolated erythrocyte membranes (ghosts) the most significant changes were observed for 16-doxylstearic acid. In intact erythrocytes statistically significant were differences for 5-doxylstearic acid. The effect of ozone on liposomes prepared from a lipid extract of erythrocyte lipids was marked in the membrane microenvironment sampled by all spin probes. Ozone apparently leads to alterations of membrane dynamics and structure but does not cause increased rigidity of the membrane.     

Alterations of human erythrocyte membrane fluidity by oxygen-derived free radicals and calcium

Two possible reasons for the structural alterations of cell membranes caused by free radicals are lipid peroxidation and an increase in the intracellular calcium ion concentration. To characterize the alterations in membrane molecular dynamics caused by oxygen-derived free radicals and calcium, human erythrocytes were spin-labeled with 5-doxyl stearic acid, and alterations in membrane fluidity were quantified by electron spin resonance oxidase (0.07 U/mL) decreased membrane fluidity, and the addition of superoxide dismutase and catalase inhibited the effect on membrane fluidity of the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system. Hydrogen peroxide (0.1 and 1 nM) also decreased membrane fluidity and caused alterations to erythrocyte morphology. In addition, a decrease in membrane fluidity was observed in erythrocytes incubated with 2.8 mM CaCl₂. On the other hand, incubation of erythrocytes with calcium-free solution decreased the changes in membrane fluidity caused by hydrogen peroxide.

These results suggest that changes in membrane fluidity are directly due to lipid peroxidation and are indirectly the result of increased intracellular calcium concentration. We support the hypothesis that alterations of the biophysical properties of membranes caused by free radicals play an important role in cell injury, and that the accumulation of calcium amplifies the damge to membranes weakened by free radicals.     

Isolated erythrocyte membranes of transfusion-dependent and non-transfused thalassemia patients in Jakarta, investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy

Erythrocyte membrane structural parameters were studied in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia patients, in long-term transfused patients (regularly transfused < 15 years), and in those who had not yet obtained transfusions. Controls were voluntary students up to 30 years of age without diagnosis or clinical signs of thalassemia. Membranes were isolated and investigated by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Data obtained from the thiol-reactive spin label N-ethyl-maleimidoproxyl reveal immobilization of protein environment in erythrocyte membranes from thalassemic patients. SDS-PAGE shows both degradation and aggregation of membrane proteins. Thalassemic erythrocyte membranes exert higher order parameters in the hydrophobic region as determined by 16-doxyl-stearic acid. Rotational correlation times of this spin label increase only in transfused patients. Polarity is higher in membranes of all patients than in controls. In the polar interface, order parameters obtained from 5-doxyl-stearic acid increase in non-transfused and decrease in transfusion-dependent patients as compared with controls. Transfused patients exert increasing membrane order in the hydrophobic region and counter-currently decreasing order in the polar interface indicating loss of membrane integrity along with the loss of fluidity and polarity gradients and the loss the energetic barrier function of the membrane.

The effects of verbascoside on plasma lipid peroxidation level and erythrocyte membrane fluidity during immobilization in rabbits: a time course study

We studied the changes in the level of plasma lipid peroxidation indicated by malondialdehyde (MDA) level and erythrocyte membrane fluidity expressed by the value of order parameter (S) during single hindlimb immobilization of 21 days using thiobarbituric acid - reactive substances method and spin label electron spin resonance method, respectively. The impacts of verbascoside that has been proved its antioxidative activity on the measured parameters were examined. 11 New Zealand white rabbits were immobilized and divided into two groups. The rabbits in the verbascoside group were administrated with 0.8 mg/kg of verbascoside twice a day orally throughout the immobilization. The rabbits in the placebo group were treated with normal saline. In placebo group, the results showed that the level of MDA significantly increased on day 3, peaked on day 7, and was still significantly higher on day 14 of immobilization, compared with the value measured before immobilization. The value of S reached the highest on day 7 and subsequently lowered but still higher on day 14 than those measured before immobilization. Compared with placebo group, there were lower MDA level (P < 0.05, 0.001, and 0.05 for days 3, 7, and 14, respectively) and higher erythrocyte membrane fluidity (P < 0.05, 0.001, and 0.001 for days 3, 7, and 14, respectively) in verbascoside group. The data indicated that immobilization caused temporal changes of increase in plasma lipid peroxidation and decrease in erythrocyte membrane fluidity. Verbascoside might have the effects to moderate oxidative stress and erythrocyte membrane fluidity during immobilization.     

Delayed alteration of membrane fluidity in intact cultured B-16 melanoma cells affected by ultraviolet irradiation

Lipid peroxidation in the plasma membrane has been reported to decrease membrane fluidity. We examined membrane fluidity in relation to lipid peroxidation processes after UV-B exposure of cultured B-16 melanoma cells. UV exposure promptly increased TBA-positive material(s), but alteration of membrane fluidity was delayed. Plasma membrane fluidity increased significantly 6 hours after exposure when the TBA-value(s) had become under the control level. To examine the direct effect of lipid peroxides on the fluidity, tert-butyl hydroperoxide was added to B-16 melanoma cells. Similar results were obtained with respect to membrane fluidity. These results suggest that lipid peroxidation at UV doses maintaining cell viability does not directly induce a significant alteration of membrane fluidity, but may influence the fluidity either during metabolizing processes of UV-induced lipid peroxides or during repair processes following oxidative cell membrane damage.     

Ischemia/reperfusion-induced changes in membrane fluidity characteristics of brain capillary endothelial cells and its prevention by liposomal-incorporated superoxide dismutase.

The effect of global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion on cerebral capillary endothelial cell membrane fluidity was examined using electron paramagnetic resonance techniques following 8 minutes of global ischemia and 15 minutes of blood reperfusion. The luminal surface of the cerebral vasculature was perfused with a series of doxyl stearic acid reporters (5-, 12-, 16-doxyl stearic acid) which differ in the site of attachment of the nitroxide free radical on the fatty acid chain. Each doxyl stearic acid reports on membrane fluidity characteristics from different depths within the membrane. Ischemia/reperfusion produced a membrane ordering that was markedly dependent on intramembrane location, and was consistent with changes previously associated with lipid peroxidation. The effect of ischemia/reperfusion on membrane fluidity was maximal in the membrane environment reported by 12-doxyl stearic acid (12-DS). The utilization of a liposomal system was shown to enhance superoxide dismutase delivery to cerebral tissues as well as attenuating the change in membrane order seen following reperfusion-induced lipid peroxidation.
