DMBA (7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) known to cause tumors in rats. Selenium is an essential element with physiological non-enzymatic antioxidant properties. Because of the health problems induced by many environmental pollutants, many efforts have been undertaken in evaluating the relative antioxidant potential of selenium and synthetic organoselenium compounds. In this study, adult female Wistar rats were treated with DMBA and the novel organoselenium compounds (1-isopropyl-3-methylbenzimidazole-2-selenone [SeI] and 1,3-di-p-methoxybenzylpyrimidine-2-selenone [SeII]) in the determined doses. The protective effects of novel synthetic organoselenium compounds (SeI and SeII) against DMBA-induced changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR) activities and total glutathione (GSH) and malone-dialdehyde (MDA) levels of rat heart and brain were investigated. It was determined that SeI and SeII fully or partially restored enzyme activity. It was also found that lipid peroxidation was also decreased in SeI and SeII treated groups. Consequently, it was determined that novel synthetic organoselenium compounds (SeI and SeII) provided protection of antioxidant activity, and protection against lipid peroxidation measured as MDA in SeI and SeII treated groups was provided by novel synthesized organoselenium compounds. The ability of the organoselenium compounds to prevent oxidative damage induced by DMBA in rats was rationalized. 相似文献

Brassinolide (BR), which is the most biologically active brassinosteroid, was used to examine the potential effect of hormone
on cotton somatic embryogenesis. Ten-day-old cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., cv. Cooker) seedlings were used for explant source and hypocotyls were removed and cultured on MS basal medium with B5 vitamins supplemented with 1 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine + 0.5 mg/L kinetin for callus induction. After one month proliferating
calli pieces were collected and cultured on MS basal medium containing various concentrations of BR (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 μM) with
their controls. BR treatments were negatively effective on the fresh weight of calli when compared to control. Differential
somatic embryogenesis maturation rates due to BR treatment were observed. Somatic embryogenesis was stimulated especially
for transition to cotyledonary phase at 0.5 mg/L BR. Histological preparations from embryogenic calli and somatic embryos
at different stages of development revealed the spontaneous polyploidisation during early somatic embryogenesis on BR-treated
calli. Present results suggest that BR negatively effected calli growth, however, had a stimulating role in maturation of
somatic embryos. 相似文献

The inhibition in the synthesis or bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) has an important role in progress of hypertension. The blocking of nitric oxide synthase activity may cause vasoconstriction with the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Propolis is a resinous substance collected by honey bees from various plants. Propolis has biological and pharmacological properties. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of propolis on catalase (CAT) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO levels in the testis tissues of hypertensive rats by Nω‐nitro‐l ‐arginine methyl ester (l ‐NAME). Rats have received nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (l ‐NAME, 40 mg kg?1, intraperitoneally) for 15 days to produce hypertension and propolis (200 mg kg?1, by gavage) during the last 5 days. MDA level in l ‐NAME‐treated group significantly increased compared with control group (P < 0.01). MDA level of l ‐NAME + propolis‐treated rats significantly reduced (P < 0.01) compared with l ‐NAME‐treated group. CAT activity and NO level significantly reduced (P < 0.01) in l ‐NAME group compared with control group. There were no statistically significant increases in the CAT activity and NO level of the l ‐NAME + propolis group compared with the l ‐NAME‐treated group (P > 0.01). These results suggest that propolis changes CAT activity, NO and MDA levels in testis of l ‐NAME‐treated animals, and so it may modulate the antioxidant system.

Buchnericin-LB adsorbs to gram-positive but not to gram-negative bacteria. The tested gram-positive bacteria were species of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Leuconostoc, Enterococcus, Lactococcus, Listeria, Bacillus, Staphylococcus; gram-negative bacteria belonged to the genera Salmonella, Escherichia, Yersinia and Pseudomonas. Buchnericin-LB adsorption depended on pH but not on time and temperature. Also some anions of salts and lipoteichoic acid reduced or inhibited its adsorption. Treatment of cells and cell walls of sensitive bacteria with detergents, organic solvents or enzymes did not affect subsequent binding of buchnericin-LB. Treatment with buchnericin-LB caused sensitive cells to lose high amounts of intracellular K+ ions and UV-absorbing materials and became more permeable to o-nitrophenol-β-D-galactopyranoside. Buchnericin-LB (640-2560 AU/ml) decreased the colony forming units (99%) and absorbance values of Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus. These results indicate that the mode of action of buchnericin-LB is bactericidal and its lethal effect is very rapid. 相似文献

Phycobiliproteins, light-harvesting pigments found in cyanobacteria and in some eukaryotic algae, have numerous commercial applications in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Colorant production from cyanobacteria offers advantages over their production from higher plants, as cyanobacteria have fast growth rate and high photosynthetic efficiency and require less space. In this study, three cyanobacteria strains were studied for phycobiliprotein production and the influence of sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride on the growth and phycobiliprotein composition of the strains were evaluated. In the batch culture period of 12 days, Phormidium sp. and Pseudoscillatoria sp. were able to utilize all tested nitrogen sources; however, ammonium chloride was the best nitrogen source for both strains to achieve maximum growth rate μ?=?0.284?±?0.03 and μ?=?0.274?±?0.13 day?1, chlorophyll a 16.2?±? 0.5 and 12.2?±? 0.2 mg L?1, and phycobiliprotein contents 19.38?±?0.09 and 19.99?±?0.14% of dry weight, whereas, for Arthrospira platensis, the highest growth rate of μ?=?0.304?±?0.0 day?1, chlorophyll a 19.1?±?0.5 mg L?1, and phycobiliprotein content of 22.27?±?0.21% of dry weight were achieved with sodium nitrate. The phycocyanin from the lyophilized cyanobacterial biomass was extracted using calcium chloride and food grade purity (A620/A280 ratio >?0.7) was achieved. Furthermore, phycocyanin was purified using two-step chromatographic method and the analytical grade purity (A620/A280 ratio >?4) was attained. SDS-PAGE demonstrated the purity and presence of two bands corresponding to α- and β-subunits of the C-phycocyanin. The results showed that Phormidium sp. and Pseudoscillatoria sp. could be good candidates for phycocyanin production. 相似文献

Synthetic organoselenium compounds can be tailored to achieve greater chemopreventive efficacy with minimal toxic side effects by structural modifications. Two organoselenium compounds (Se I and Se II) were synthesized and evaluated for their antihypertensive and therapeutic properties by adrenomedullin (ADM) levels and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity assays in rat heart tissue. 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) is known to generate DNA-reactive species during their metabolism, which may enhance oxidative stress in cells. TH is thought to be a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of catecholamines. ADM, a potent endogenous vasodilating and natriuretic peptide, may play an important role in the pathophysiology of chronic heart failure. The effects of Se I and Se II were investigated on TH activity, ADM and total RNA levels in the hearts of albino Wistar rats. TH activity was found to be increased significantly by the effect of DMBA (P < 0.05). This increase was restricted in the Se I and Se II treated groups. ADM level was found to be decreased insignificantly by the effect of DMBA (P > 0.05). Total RNA level was found to be decreased significantly by the effect of DMBA (P < 0.05). This study demonstrates that synthetic organoselenium compounds can regulate DMBA-induced stress related changes in rat heart. 相似文献

Background
Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) bacteria are highly virulent, typically multidrug-resistant, opportunistic pathogens in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and other immunocompromised individuals. B. vietnamiensis is more often susceptible to aminoglycosides than other BCC species, and strains acquire aminoglycoside resistance during chronic CF infection and under tobramycin and azithromycin exposure in vitro, apparently from gain of antimicrobial efflux as determined through pump inhibition. The aims of the present study were to determine if oxidative stress could also induce aminoglycoside resistance and provide further observations in support of a role for antimicrobial efflux in aminoglycoside resistance in B. vietnamiensis.Findings
Here we identified hydrogen peroxide as an additional aminoglycoside resistance inducing agent in B. vietnamiensis. After antibiotic and hydrogen peroxide exposure, isolates accumulated significantly less [3H] gentamicin than the susceptible isolate from which they were derived. Strains that acquired aminoglycoside resistance during infection and after exposure to tobramycin or azithromycin overexpressed a putative resistance-nodulation-division (RND) transporter gene, amrB. Missense mutations in the repressor of amrB, amrR, were identified in isolates that acquired resistance during infection, and not in those generated in vitro.Conclusions
These data identify oxidative stress as an inducer of aminoglycoside resistance in B. vietnamiensis and further suggest that active efflux via a RND efflux system impairs aminoglycoside accumulation in clinical B. vietnamiensis strains that have acquired aminoglycoside resistance, and in those exposed to tobramycin and azithromycin, but not hydrogen peroxide, in vitro. Furthermore, the repressor AmrR is likely just one regulator of the putative AmrAB-OprM efflux system in B. vietnamiensis. 相似文献18.
Process optimization and modeling for the cultivation of Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis striata via response surface methodology 下载免费PDF全文
The aim of this study was to determine the optimal physical process conditions for the cultivation of locally isolated strains of Nannochloropsis sp. and Tetraselmis striata to achieve maximum growth rate. It was essential to evaluate biomass production at different agitation rates, light intensities, and temperature levels. Central composite design and response surface methodology were applied to design the experiments and optimize the cultivation process for Nannochloropsis sp. and T. striata. The specific growth rate of 0.250 d?1 was obtained for Nannochloropsis sp. cells under the light intensity of 54 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1, at the agitation rate of 151 rpm in 24.5°C. The optimal physical process conditions for T. striata were obtained under the light intensity of 56 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1 in 25.5°C at the agitation rate of 151 rpm in 25.5°C, resulting in a specific growth rate of 0.226 d?1. The predicted values were justified by the verification tests. Good agreement between the predicted values and the experimental values confirmed the validity of the models for the cultivation of microalgal strains. In this article, the noteworthy result was that temperature was a dominant factor in obtaining high chl‐a content for Nannochloropsis sp., whereas the growth of T. striata strongly depended on light exposure. 相似文献

The balance between prooxidants and antioxidants is crucial to the survival and functioning of aerobic organisms. Partially reduced derivatives of oxygen, which are produced in aerobic organisms as part of normal physiological and metabolic processes, are toxic species, oxidizing numerous biomolecules, which initiate tissue injury and cell death. DMBA (7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) known to cause tumors in rats. DMBA is known to generate DNA-reactive species, which may enhance oxidative stress in cells, during its metabolism. Besides the formation of DNA adducts, oxidative products derived from mutagen metabolism, such as DMBA, might impair vital cellular functions by damaging proteins and lipid membranes. Synthetic organoselenium compounds inhibit the initiation phase of carcinogenesis by inhibiting DMBA-DNA adduct formation in the target organ in vivo. Because of the health problems induced by many environmental pollutants, many efforts have been undertaken to evaluate the relative antioxidant potential of selenium and synthetic organoselenium compounds. We undertook the present study to evaluate the chemopreventive potential of the novel synthetic organoselenium compounds (1-isopropyl-3-methylbenzimidazole-2-selenone (SeI) and 1,3-di-p-methoxybenzylpyrimidine-2-selenone (SeII)) in the well-established DMBA-treated rat model by monitoring the extent of lipid peroxidation and mammary duct damage. In this study, adult female Wistar rats were treated with DMBA and the novel organoselenium compounds (SeI and SeII) in determined doses. In DMBA-treated rats, the effects of the organoselenium compounds on malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and histological changes in the rat mammary lactiferous duct were studied. The ability of the organoselenium compounds to prevent oxidative damage induced by DMBA in rat mammary ducts was demonstrated. Protection against lipid peroxidation measured as MDA in the SeI and SeII treated groups was provided by the novel synthesized organoselenium compounds. SeI and SeII both provided chemoprevention against DMBA-induced oxidative stress in the rat mammary duct. 相似文献
