过氧化氢对镉胁迫下水稻种子萌发的缓解效应

为了探讨外源H_2O_2对镉胁迫下水稻种子萌发受抑的缓解作用,以水稻品种‘中优169’为材料,通过培养皿滤纸发芽法,研究不同浓度H_2O_2对200μmol·L~(-1)镉胁迫下水稻种子萌发、幼苗生长及相关生理指标的影响。结果表明,在200μmol·L~(-1)镉胁迫下,水稻种子的萌发和幼苗生长表现出明显的抑制现象,发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数及幼苗的根长、芽长和可溶性蛋白含量均显著降低,MDA含量显著增加,POD活性上升,SOD、APX及CAT的活性显著受到抑制。较低浓度(≤10μmol·L~(-1))H_2O_2处理能不同程度地增加幼苗的根长、芽长、根鲜重和芽鲜重,提高镉胁迫下水稻种子的发芽指数和活力指数,增强SOD、POD和APX活性并降低MDA含量,从而缓解镉的毒害效应。其中5μmol·L~(-1) H_2O_2浸种处理对镉胁迫下水稻种子萌发和幼苗生长的缓解作用最好。高H_2O_2浓度对镉胁迫的缓解作用逐渐减弱,当H_2O_2浓度达到50μmol·L~(-1)时,会加重镉胁迫的毒性。表明适宜浓度的H_2O_2可以提高水稻幼苗抗氧化能力,缓解镉胁迫伤害。     

NADPH氧化酶参与水杨酸诱导的蚕豆气孔关闭过程

水杨酸(SA)可以浓度依赖的方式诱导蚕豆叶片的气孔关闭,1～1000μmol·L~(-1)SA所诱导的气孔关闭可以再开放,而10~(-2)mol·L~(-1)的SA导致的气孔关闭则否。质膜NADPH氧化酶抑制剂二亚苯基碘(DPI)可削弱SA作用的45%～60%。表明SA诱导的气孔关闭可能与H_2O_2的产生有关。以H_2O_2荧光探针H_2DCFDA结合显微注射技术直接检测保卫细胞内产生H_2O_2的结果显示,100μmol·L~(-1)SA可引起保卫细胞内荧光素(DCF)荧光快速增强。在DPI存在的情况下,经SA处理的保卫细胞,仅在其叶绿体部位产生H_2O_2,而质膜附近的DCF荧光增强则受到抑制。表明叶绿体可能是保卫细胞内产生H_2O_2的主要部位,质膜NADPH氧化酶也可能参与SA诱导H_2O_2的产生。

Vitamin C Prevents Oxidative Damage

Ascorbate - deficiency leads to extensive oxidative damage of proteins and protein loss in the guinea pig tissue microsomes as evidenced by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, accumulation of carbonyl, bityrosine as well as by tryptophan loss. Oxidative damage is reversed by ascorbate therapy. Oxidative damage in ascorbate deficiency also leads to lipid peroxidation in guinea pig tissue microsomes as evidenced by accumulation of conjugated dienes, malondialdehyde and fluorescent pigment. Lipid peroxides disappear after ascorbate therapy but not by vitamin E. The observations substantiate the previous in vitro findings that ascorbate specifically prevents oxidative degradation of microsomal membranes. The results indicate that vitamin C may exert a powerful protection against degenerative diseases associated with oxidative damage and play a critical role in wellness and health maintenance.

Functional Consequences of Oxidative Membrane Damage

The interaction of reactive oxygen species with biological membranes is known to produce a great variety of different functional modifications. Part of these modifications may be classified as direct effects. They are due to direct interaction of the reactive species with the molecular machinery under study with a subsequent chemical and functional modification of these molecules. An important part of the observed functional modifications are, however, indirect effects. They are the consequence of an oxidative modification of the environment of biological macromolecules. Lipid peroxidation—via its generation of chemically reactive products—contributes to the loss of cellular functions through the inactivation of membrane enzymes and even of cytoplasmic (i.e., water soluble) proteins. Oxidation of membrane lipids may, however, also increase the efficiency of membrane functions. This was observed for a series of transport systems. Lipid peroxidation was accompanied by activation of certain types of ion channels and ion carriers. The effect is due to an increase of the polarity of the membrane interior by accumulation of polar oxidation products. The concomitant change of the dielectric constant, which may be detected via the increase of the membrane capacitance, facilitates the opening of membrane channels and lowers the inner membrane barrier for the movement of ions across the membrane. The predominant effect, however, at least at a greater extent of lipid peroxidation, is the inhibition of membrane functions. The strong increase of the leak conductance contributes to the depolarization of the membrane potential, it destroys the barrier properties of the membrane and it may finally lead, via an increase of cytoplasmic Ca²⁺ concentration, to cell death. The conclusions were derived from experiments performed with different systems: model systems in planar lipid membranes, native ion channels either reconstituted in lipid membranes or investigated in their natural environment by the patch-clamp method, and two important ion pumps, the Na/K-ATPase and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca-ATPase.     

Effects of Chromium Picolinate on Oxidative Damage in Primary Piglet Hepatocytes

A proven photocatalyst, titanium dioxide in the form of nano-anatase, is capable of undergoing electron transfer reactions under light. In previous studies, we had proven that nano-anatase could absorb ultraviolet light (UV-B) and convert light energy to stable chemistry energy finally via electron transport in spinach chloroplasts.The mechanisms by which nano-anatase promotes antioxidant stress in spinach chloroplasts under UV-B radiation are still not clearly understood. In the present paper, we investigate the effects of nano-anatase on the antioxidant stress in spinach chloroplasts under UV-B radiation. The results showed that nano-anatase treatment could significantly decrease accumulation of superoxide radicals, hydrogen peoxide (H₂O₂), and malonyldialdehyde (MDA) content, and increase activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), and elevate evolution oxygen rate in spinach chloroplasts under UV-B radiation. Together, nano-anatase could decrease the oxidative stress to spinach chloroplast caused by UV-B radiation.     

Role of Oxidative Damage in Friedreich's Ataxia

Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were raised in Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) patients. These levels correlated with increasing age and disease duration, suggesting lipid peroxidation increased with disease progression. Using fibroblasts from FRDA patients we observed that GSH levels and aconitase activities were normal, suggesting their antioxidant status was unchanged. When exposed to various agents to increase free radical generation we observed that intracellular superoxide generation induced by paraquat caused enhanced oxidative damage. This correlated with the size of the GAA1 expansion, suggesting decreased frataxin levels may render the cells more vulnerable to mild oxidative stress. More severe oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide caused increased cell death in FRDA fibroblasts but was not significantly different from control cells. We propose that abnormal respiratory chain function and iron accumulation may lead to a progressive increase in oxidative damage, but increased sensitivity to free radicals may not require detectable respiratory chain dysfunction.     

Prenatal Stress Causes Oxidative Damage to Mitochondrial DNA in Hippocampus of Offspring Rats

Mitochondrion, the primary source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is also the target of ROS. 8-Hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) is the major end-product of damaged DNA caused by ROS. In our previous studies, we showed that prenatal stress (PNS) preferentially caused cognitive dysfunction and increased ROS in the hippocampus of female offspring rats. The present study aimed to determine 8-OH-dG level of mitochondria in order to elucidate the mechanism of hippocampal pyramidal neuronal damage and cognitive dysfunction induced by PNS. Pregnant rats were divided into two groups: control group (undisturbed) and PNS group (exposed to a restraint stress for 7 days at the late stage of gestation). Offspring rats were divided into four groups: female-control group, male-control group, female-stress group, male-stress group and used at 30-day-old after their birth. The content of 8-OH-dG was determined by high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). The results showed that the contents of 8-OH-dG in female and male prenatal stressed offspring were significantly higher than that in their respective controls (P < 0.001). 8-OH-dG level was significantly higher in the female-stress group than in the male-stress group (P < 0.05), whereas there was no any gender-dependent difference in the control groups. These results suggest that accumulation of oxidative mitochondrial DNA damage may play an important role in PNS-induced cognitive dysfunction in female offspring rats.

Oxidative Damage and the Preservation of Organic Artefacts

Organic artefacts degrade by a number of mechanisms. Autoxidation is one of the most important and involves free radicals. The importance of free radical reactions in the degradation of paper and other cellulosic materials, rubber and other organics is described. In the case of paper, treatment with calcium and magnesium compounds can inhibit oxidation, while transition metals increase the rate. Antioxidants have not been used a great deal due to unwanted side effects. The Russell effect, a technique for detecting oxidation using photographic materials. is described.
