An increasing body of data shows that survival of mammalian cells is under the control of growth factors and autocrine survival factors (AF). We studied the effects of an AF deficit on the survival, intracellular ATP content and the transmembrane potential of mitochondria in IL-2-dependent CTLL-2 cells following oxidative stress. We show that cells cultivated under conditions of AF deficit became more susceptible to oxidative injury in comparison with CTLL-2 cells cultivated without an AF deficit (the control cells); their death occurred at lower H2O2 concentrations than in the case of control cells. The ATP content in CTLL-2 cells decreased under an AF deficit even without stress; treatment of these cells with hydrogen peroxide led to an additional significant decrease of ATP content, which was accompanied by injury of the cell membrane (blebbing) and by a sharp fall in mitochondrial potential. Cell death after oxidative stress under conditions of AF deficit was shown to proceed along both the apoptosis and necrosis pathways.  相似文献

The role of autocrine factors (AF) secreted by cytotoxic IL-2-dependent CTLL-2 cells along with pyruvate in cell defense from oxidative stress was investigated. The addition of conditioned medium (CM) containing pyruvate and AF into CTLL-2 cell cultures increased significantly cell survival under oxidative stress condition. The kinetics of hydrogen peroxide removal from cell cultures under oxidative stress in the case of CM addition has been obtained. The removal of H2O2 mostly by means of its reaction with pyruvate that is contained in CM has been shown at the beginning of oxidative stress (up to 15 min). Pyruvate content in CM was determined as 138 +/- 7 microM. Cell filtration on column with Bio-Gel P-10 was used for removal pyruvate from CM. Three fractions of CM (A, B and C) were obtained as a result of gel filtration. Pyruvate was not detected in any fraction. The fraction A was eluted from column as the first one and contained the largest molecules. Cell survival test showed the fraction B to have the highest ability to protect CTLL-2 cells under oxidative stress. The fraction A supported cell survival to a less degree and fraction C was shown to have no protective ability. The addition of the fraction B to the cell cultures resulted in preservation of significantly higher intracellular ATP level in the cells under oxidative stress than in the control ones. Moreover, AF of the fraction B was shown to react directly with hydrogen peroxide and inactivate it in the absence of cells. AF of the fraction A did not have such properties.  相似文献

Alkalosis associated with elevated pH is characteristic of many clinical pathologies. Respiratory alkalosis is a result of hyperventilation, i.e., reduced partial CO2 pressure in alveolar air and blood. Yet another type of alkalosis, i.e., metabolic alkalosis, is associated with an absolute or relative increase in the levels of alkaline compounds in the organism. Despite high toxicity of the latter, mechanisms whereby these compounds exert their toxic effects remain obscure. In multicellular organisms, cell survival is controlled by a vast variety of factors, such as autocrine survival factors (AF) specifically targeted at cells that secrete them. Our previous studies (Lutsenko and Diachkova, 2003) demonstrated that AF control cell survival and energy metabolism in T-lymphocytes. In this study, combined effects of AF deficiency and alkalosis (pH 8.3) on cell survival, intracellular content of ATP and mitochondrial transmembrane potential of T-lymphocytes were studied using an IL-2-dependent cell line CTLL-2. It was found that in the absence of AF deficiency, alkalosis had no effect on survival of cultured CTLL-2 cells. The main mechanism of protection of CTLL-2 cells against cytotoxic effects of alkalosis was an enhanced anaerobic glycolysis and consequential increase in the lactate production. In contrast, alkalosis combined with AF deficiency caused a substantial decrease of cell survival, which lowered down to 53% after 6 h and to about 10 % after 20 h of culturing under these conditions. The ATP content dropped down sharply under the AF deficiency even at pH 7.3 but gradually restored to the initial level within the next 2-3 h; cell survival was at a high level under these conditions. Alkalosis combined with the AF deficiency notably worsened the functional state of the cells; ATP content in them remained at a low level over the whole period of the alkaline stress. After a 2-h incubation under alkalosis and AF deficiency, 23% of cells contained depolarized mitochondria; lactate production was notably suppressed. The data obtained suggest that the reduction of the intracellular ATP level in CTLL-2 cells under alkalosis and AF deficiency are due to inhibition of anaerobic glycolysis and mitochondrial dysfunction. Cell death developed predominantly via the necrotic rather than the apoptotic pathway.  相似文献

The role of pyruvate and autocrine polypeptide factors (APF) secreted by cytotoxic IL-2-dependent CTLL-2 cells in cell defense from oxidative stress was investigated. The addition of a conditioned medium (CM) containing pyruvate and APF into CTLL-2 cell cultures significantly increased the cell survival under oxidative stress conditions induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The kinetics of (H2O2) removal from cell cultures with added CM has been registered. It has been shown that, at the beginning of oxidative stress (less than 15 min), H2O2 was mostly removed by means of its reaction with pyruvate contained in CM. Pyruvate content in CM was estimated as 138 ± 7 μM. Gel filtration on a column with Bio-Gel P-10 was used to eliminate pyruvate from CM. Gel filtration resulted in three CM fractions (A, B, and C) corresponding to three chromatogram peaks. Pyruvate was not detected in any fraction. The fraction A was the first to be eluted from the column and contained the largest molecules. In the cell survival test, fraction B had the highest protective ability for CTLL-2 cells under oxidative stress. Fraction A supported cell survival to a lesser degree and fraction C did not show any protective abilities. Fraction B added to cells under oxidative stress kept intracellular ATP content at a significantly higher level then in control cells. Moreover, it was found that APF from fraction B was able to react with H2O2 directly and inactivate it in the absence of cells. APF from fraction A did not have such properties.  相似文献

In previous study we demonstrated the presence of ATP-sensitive potassium current in the inner mitochondrial membrane, which was sensitive to diazoxide and glybenclamide, in mitochondria isolated from the rat uterus. This current was supposed to be operated by mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoK(ATP)). Regulation of the mitoK(ATP) in uterus cells is not studied well enough yet. It is well known that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) can play a dual role. They can damage cells in high concentrations, but they can also act as messengers in cellular signaling, mediating survival of cells under stress conditions. ROS are known to activate mitoK(ATP) during the oxidative stress in the brain and heart, conferring the protection of cells. The present study examined whether ROS mediate the mitoK(ATP) activation in myometrium cells. Oxidative stress was induced by rotenone. ROS generation was measured by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate. The massive induction of ROS production was demonstrated in the presence of rotenone. Hyperpolarization of the mitochondrial membrane was also detected with the use of the potential-sensitive dye DiOC6 (3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide). Diazoxide, a selective activator of mitoK(ATP), depolarized mitochondrial membrane either under oxidative stress or under normal conditions, while mitoK(ATP) blocker glybenclamide effectively restored mitochondrial potential in rat myocytes. Estimated value for diazoxide to mitoK(ATP) under normoxia was four times higher than under oxidative stress conditions: 5.01 +/- 1.47-10(-6) M and 1.24 +/- 0.21 x 10(-6) M respectively. The ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine (NAC) successfully eliminates depolarization of mitochondrial membrane by diazoxide under oxidative stress. These results suggest that elimination of ROS by NAC prevents the activation of mitoK(ATP) under oxidative stress. Taking into account the higher affinity of diazoxide to mitoK(ATP) under stress conditions than under normoxia, we conclude that the oxidative stress conditions are more favourable than normoxia for the activation of mitoK(ATP). Thus we hypothesize that the ROS regulate the activity of the mitoK(ATP) in myocytes.  相似文献

Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) uncouple oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis. We explored the neuroprotective role of UCP4 with its stable overexpression in SH-SY5Y cells, after exposure to either MPP+ or dopamine to induce ATP deficiency and oxidative stress. Cells overexpressing UCP4 proliferated faster in normal cultures and after exposure to MPP+ and dopamine. Differentiated UCP4-overexpressing cells survived better when exposed to MPP+ with decreased LDH release. Contrary to the mild uncoupling hypothesis, UCP4 overexpression resulted in increased absolute ATP levels (with ADP/ATP ratios similar to those of controls under normal conditions and ADP supplementation) associated with increased respiration rate. Under MPP+ toxicity, UCP4 overexpression preserved ATP levels and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reduced oxidative stress; the preserved ATP level was not due to increased glycolysis. Under MPP+ toxicity, the induction of UCP2 expression in vector controls was absent in UCP4-overexpressing cells, suggesting that UCP4 may compensate for UCP2 expression. UCP4 function does not seem to adhere to the mild uncoupling hypothesis in its neuroprotective mechanisms under oxidative stress and ATP deficiency. UCP4 overexpression increases cell survival by inducing oxidative phosphorylation, preserving ATP synthesis and MMP, and reducing oxidative stress.  相似文献

Stimulus-induced release of endogenous ATP into the extracellular milieu has been shown to occur in a variety of cells, tissues, and organs. Extracellular ATP can propagate signals via P2 receptors that are essential for growth and survival of cells. Abundance of P2 receptors, their multiple isoforms, and their ubiquitous distribution indicate that they transmit vital signals. Pulmonary epithelium and endothelium are rich in both P2X and P2Y receptors. ATP release from lung tissue and cells occurs upon stimulation both in vivo and in vitro. Extracellular ATP can activate signaling cascades composed of protein kinases including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K). Here we summarize progress related to release of endogenous ATP and nucleotide signaling in pulmonary tissues upon exposure to oxidant stress. Hypoxic, hyperoxic, and ozone exposures cause a rapid increase of extracellular ATP in primary pulmonary endothelial and epithelial cells. Extracellular ATP is critical for survival of these cells in high oxygen and ozone concentrations. The released ATP, upon binding to its specific receptors, triggers ERK and PI3K signaling and renders cells resistant to these stresses. Impairment of ATP release and transmission of such signals could limit cellular survival under oxidative stress. This may further contribute to disease pathogenesis or exacerbation.  相似文献

The hypothesis that oxidative stress characterized by enhanced superoxide generation underlies the toxicity of some factors to living organisms has been investigated. It is shown that CO (5-6% in gas phase) changed some growth parameters (mu, t(d)) of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans 1388. Enhanced O(2)(-) generation registered by EPR spectroscopy and adrenochrome method was observed when cells were incubated under CO. The SOD activity in cells from the exponential growth phase growing under CO was decreased 1.5-fold compared with the control cells growing under Ar. SOD activities in cells from the stationary growth phase growing with or without CO were comparable. The results support the concept that CO toxicity for sulfate-reducing bacteria is an oxidative stress that arises in cells oxidizing CO to CO(2).  相似文献

Mitochondrial oxidative damage is thought to play a key role in pancreatic β-cell failure in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Despite this, the potential of mitochondria-targeted antioxidants to protect pancreatic β-cells against oxidative stress has not yet been studied. Therefore, we investigated if mitochondria-targeted antioxidants protect pancreatic β-cells such as RINm5F and HIT-T15 cells against oxidative stress under glucotoxic and glucolipotoxic conditions. When β-cells were incubated under these conditions, the expression levels of mitochondrial electron transport chain complex subunits, mitochondrial antioxidant enzymes (such as MnSOD and Prx3), β-cell apoptosis, lipogenic enzymes (such as ACC, FAS and ABCA1), intracellular lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, ER stress, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, nuclear NF- κB and sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c (SREBP1c) were all increased, in parallel with decreases in intracellular ATP content, citrate synthase enzymatic activity and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. These changes were consistent with elevated mitochondrial oxidative stress, and incubation with the mitochondria-targeted antioxidants, MitoTempol or Mitoquinone (MitoQ), prevented these effects. In conclusion, mitochondria-targeted antioxidants protect pancreatic β-cells against oxidative stress, promote their survival, and increase insulin secretion in cell models of the glucotoxicity and glucolipotoxicity associated with Type 2 diabetes.  相似文献

microRNA-210(miR-210)has generally been reported to be associated with cell survival under hypoxia.However,there are few data regarding the role of miR-210 in the survival of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)under oxidative stress conditions.Thus,we sought to investigate whether miR-210 over-expression could protect MSCs against oxidative stress injury and what the primary mechanisms involved are.The results showed that over-expression of miR-210 significantly reduced the apoptosis of MSCs under oxidative stress,accompanied by obvious increases in cell viability and superoxide dismutase activity and remarkable decreases in malonaldehyde content and reactive oxygen species production,resulting in a noticeable reduction of apoptotic indices when compared with the control.Moreover,the above beneficial effects of miR-210 could be significantly reduced by c-Met pathway repression.Collectively,these results showed that miR-210 over-expression improved MSC survival under oxidative stress through antioxidation and c-Met pathway activation,indicating the potential development of a novel approach to enhance the efficacy of MSC-based therapy for injured myocardium.  相似文献

Although plant cell bioenergetics is strongly affected by abiotic stresses, mitochondrial metabolism under stress is still largely unknown. Interestingly, plant mitochondria may control reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by means of energy-dissipating systems. Therefore, mitochondria may play a central role in cell adaptation to abiotic stresses, which are known to induce oxidative stress at cellular level. With this in mind, in recent years, studies have been focused on mitochondria from durum wheat, a species well adapted to drought stress. Durum wheat mitochondria possess three energy-dissipating systems: the ATP-sensitive plant mitochondrial potassium channel (PmitoK(ATP)); the plant uncoupling protein (PUCP); and the alternative oxidase (AOX). It has been shown that these systems are able to dampen mitochondrial ROS production; surprisingly, PmitoK(ATP) and PUCP (but not AOX) are activated by ROS. This was found to occur in mitochondria from both control and hyperosmotic-stressed seedlings. Therefore, the hypothesis of a 'feed-back' mechanism operating under hyperosmotic/oxidative stress conditions was validated: stress conditions induce an increase in mitochondrial ROS production; ROS activate PmitoK(ATP) and PUCP that, in turn, dissipate the mitochondrial membrane potential, thus inhibiting further large-scale ROS production. Another important aspect is the chloroplast/cytosol/mitochondrion co-operation in green tissues under stress conditions aimed at modulating cell redox homeostasis. Durum wheat mitochondria may act against chloroplast/cytosol over-reduction: the malate/oxaloacetate antiporter and the rotenone-insensitive external NAD(P)H dehydrogenases allow cytosolic NAD(P)H oxidation; under stress this may occur without high ROS production due to co-operation with AOX, which is activated by intermediates of the photorespiratory cycle.  相似文献

Respiratory failure is a serious consequence of lung cell injury caused by treatment with high inhaled oxygen concentrations. Human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVEC) are a principal target of hyperoxic injury (hyperoxia). Cell stress can cause release of ATP, and this extracellular nucleotide can activate purinoreceptors and mediate responses essential for survival. In this investigation, exposure of endothelial cells to an oxidative stress, hyperoxia, caused rapid but transient ATP release (20.03 +/- 2.00 nm/10(6) cells in 95% O(2) versus 0.08 +/- 0.01 nm/10(6) cells in 21% O2 at 30 min) into the extracellular milieu without a concomitant change in intracellular ATP. Endogenously produced extracellular ATP-enhanced mTOR-dependent uptake of glucose (3467 +/- 102 cpm/mg protein in 95% oxygen versus 2100 +/- 112 cpm/mg protein in control). Extracellular addition of ATP-activated important cell survival proteins like PI 3-kinase and extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK-1/2). These events were mediated primarily by P2Y receptors, specifically the P2Y2 and/or P2Y6 subclass of receptors. Extracellular ATP was required for the survival of HLMVEC in hyperoxia (55 +/- 10% surviving cells with extracellular ATP scavengers [apyrase + adenosine deaminase] versus 95 +/- 12% surviving cells without ATP scavengers at 4 d of hyperoxia). Incubation with ATP scavengers abolished ATP-dependent ERK phosphorylation stimulated by hyperoxia. Further, ERK activation also was found to be important for cell survival in hyperoxia, as treatment with PD98059 enhanced hyperoxia-mediated cell death. These findings demonstrate that ATP release and subsequent ATP-mediated signaling events are vital for survival of HLMVEC in hyperoxia.  相似文献

Oxidative stress (OS) has been implicated in a variety of pathological conditions, including diabetes mellitus, characterized by hyperglycemia. In the present study, OS induced by hyperglycemia and the effect of trolox, a vitamin E analog, were studied in cardiomyocytes and H9c2 cells exposed to 15 to 33 mM glucose (HG) for 24 to 72 hours in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium. Cells treated wirh 24 or 33 mM glucose for 24 hours or above showed decreased viability and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content with a concomitant increase in radicals of oxygen species, calcium (Ca2+), mitochondrial permeability transition, and oxidative markers, confirming that the cells were under stress. However, upon exposure to 15 mM glucose for 24 hours, H9c2 cells maintained homeostasis and ATP generation. Pretreatment of cells with trolox reduced HG‐induced OS to control levels. Here, we report that the toxic effect of HG is highly regulated and that OS induction can be prevented with Trolox, a potential inhibitor of membrane damage.  相似文献

An SOD null mutant of Escherichia coli (IM303) and its wild-type strain (MM294) were cultivated with or without sublethal oxidative stress generated from photoexcited TiO2. Concerning maximum specific growth rate of the cells, mum, measured under various conditions, the mum value of IM303 cells increased notably in the presence of TiO2 illuminated with light (I = 12.5 W m(-2)), being about two times higher than that of the cells grown in the absence of TiO2 and light. The mum value of IM303 cells under the oxidative condition restored to a level comparable to that of wild-type MM294 cells, which coincided with the finding that the content of reactive oxygen species lowered in IM303 cells under the oxidative stress. Colony isolation was conducted to obtain the cells prevailing in the early culture phase of IM303 cells in the presence of TiO2 and light. It was found that the isolates exhibited the outgrowing properties with the increased mum values under both the conditions with and without TiO2 and light. It was also indicated that in the culture of typically selected isolate, the cells started to grow with a relatively short lag in a threonine-minus medium.  相似文献

A critical role for mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed in the pathogenesis of Down's syndrome (DS), a human multifactorial disorder caused by trisomy of chromosome 21, associated with mental retardation and early neurodegeneration. Previous studies from our group demonstrated in DS cells a decreased capacity of the mitochondrial ATP production system and overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria. In this study we have tested the potential of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) – a natural polyphenol component of green tea – to counteract the mitochondrial energy deficit found in DS cells. We found that EGCG, incubated with cultured lymphoblasts and fibroblasts from DS subjects, rescued mitochondrial complex I and ATP synthase catalytic activities, restored oxidative phosphorylation efficiency and counteracted oxidative stress. These effects were associated with EGCG-induced promotion of PKA activity, related to increased cellular levels of cAMP and PKA-dependent phosphorylation of the NDUFS4 subunit of complex I. In addition, EGCG strongly promoted mitochondrial biogenesis in DS cells, as associated with increase in Sirt1-dependent PGC-1α deacetylation, NRF-1 and T-FAM protein levels and mitochondrial DNA content.In conclusion, this study shows that EGCG is a promoting effector of oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial biogenesis in DS cells, acting through modulation of the cAMP/PKA- and sirtuin-dependent pathways. EGCG treatment promises thus to be a therapeutic approach to counteract mitochondrial energy deficit and oxidative stress in DS.  相似文献

Mitochondrial uncoupling protein-4 (UCP4) enhances neuronal survival in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+)) toxicity by suppressing oxidative stress and preserving intracellular ATP and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). NF-κB regulates neuronal viability via its complexes, p65 mediating cell death and c-Rel promoting cell survival. We reported previously that NF-κB mediates UCP4 neuroprotection against MPP(+) toxicity. Here, we investigated its link with the NF-κB c-Rel prosurvival pathway in alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. We overexpressed a c-Rel-encoding plasmid in SH-SY5Y cells and showed that c-Rel overexpression induced NF-κB activity without affecting p65 level. Overexpression of c-Rel increased UCP4 promoter activity and protein expression. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that H(2)O(2) increased NF-κB binding to the UCP4 promoter and that NF-κB complexes were composed of p50/p50 and p50/c-Rel dimers. Under H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress, UCP4 knockdown significantly increased superoxide levels, decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, and increased oxidized glutathione levels, compared to controls. UCP4 expression induced by c-Rel overexpression significantly decreased superoxide levels and preserved GSH levels and MMP under similar stress. These protective effects of c-Rel overexpression in H(2)O(2)-induced oxidative stress were significantly reduced after UCP4 knockdown, indicating that UCP4 is a target effector gene of the NF-κB c-Rel prosurvival pathway to mitigate the effects of oxidative stress.  相似文献

Durum wheat mitochondria (DWM) possess an ATP-inhibited K(+) channel, the plant mitoK(ATP) (PmitoK(ATP) ), which is activated under environmental stress to control mitochondrial ROS production. To do this, PmitoK(ATP) collapses membrane potential (ΔΨ), thus suggesting mitochondrial uncoupling. We tested this point by studying oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in DWM purified from control seedlings and from seedlings subjected both to severe mannitol and NaCl stress. In severely-stressed DWM, the ATP synthesis via OXPHOS, continuously monitored by a spectrophotometric assay, was about 90% inhibited when the PmitoK(ATP) was activated by KCl. Contrarily, in control DWM, although PmitoK(ATP) collapsed ΔΨ, ATP synthesis, as well as coupling [respiratory control (RC) ratio and ratio between phosphorylated ADP and reduced oxygen (ADP/O)] checked by oxygen uptake experiments, were unaffected. We suggest that PmitoK(ATP) may play an important defensive role at the onset of the environmental/oxidative stress by preserving energy in a crucial moment for cell and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Consistently, under moderate mannitol stress, miming an early stress condition, the channel may efficiently control reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation (about 35-fold from fully open to closed state) without impairing ATP synthesis. Anyway, if the stress significantly proceeds, the PmitoK(ATP) becomes fully activated by decrease of ATP concentration (25-40%) and increase of activators [free fatty acids (FFAs) and superoxide anion], thus impairing ATP synthesis.  相似文献

本实验旨在观察活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)对人心房肌细胞电生理活动特性的影响。取有心房颤动(atrial fibrillation,AF)和非AF心脏手术患者(各12例)右心耳组织,用酶消化法得到单个心房肌细胞。两组细胞(每组n=75)分别随机分为三个亚组:对照组(n=12)、H2O2组(0.1、0.2、0.5、0.75、1、2、5、10μmol/LH2O2,每个浓度n=7)和维生素C(ROS清除30)组(1gmol/L维生素C,n=7)。实验采用全细胞膜片钳方法记录电生理活动。与非AF对照组相比,AF对照组超快速延迟整流钾电流(ultrarapid delayed rectifier K^+current,KKw)和L-型钙电流(L—type calcium current,ICaL)电流密度(pA/pF)均明显降低(6.27±0.67VS3.77±0.56,P〈0.05;6.31±0.60 vs 3.34±0.32,P〈0.05),动作电位时程(action potential duration,APD)(ms)也明显缩短(405±13 vs 354±12,P〈0.05)。在非AF和AF组中,H2O2对心房肌细胞,IKw和,ICa,L的电流密度均有浓度依赖性双向影响——高抑低促。非AF组中,H2O2浓度为0.2gmol/L时有最大增强作用,而0.75Bmol/L为分界浓度,人于0.75Bmol/L时,随H2O2浓度增加IKw和,ICa,L的电流密度逐渐降低;在另一方面,0.2、1、2、5和10μmol/LH2O2孵育的心房肌细胞APD90与同组对照组相比均明显缩短(P〈0.05),而与AF对照组相比无明显差异。在AF组中,H2O2的最大效应浓度为0.5Bmol/L,而1gmol/L为分界浓度。维生素C可以逆转H2O2的上述作用,但单独给予维生素C并不改变通道特性。H2O2诱导正常人心房肌细胞发生电生理活动特性改变与AF时心肌电重构(atrial electrical remodeling,AER)相似,显示ROS可能诱发AF;同时,H2O2又能加重AF时AER,对AF有维持作用。以上结果提示ROS清除剂可能对预防和治疗AF有重要意义。  相似文献

Mitochondria plays a key role in regulating cell death process under stress conditions and it has been indicated that NAMPT overexpression promotes cell survival under genotoxic stress by maintaining mitochondrial NAD+ level. NAMPT is a rate-limiting enzyme for NAD+ production in mammalian cells and it was suggested that NAMPT and NMNAT3 are responsible for mitochondrial NAD+ production to maintain mitochondrial NAD+ pool. However, subsequent studies suggested mitochondrial may lack the NAMPT-NMANT3 pathway to maintain NAD+ level. Therefore, how NAMPT overexpression rescues mitochondrial NAD+ content to promote cell survival in response to genotoxic stress remains elusive. Here, we show that NAMPT promotes cell survival under oxidative stress via both SIRT1 dependent p53-CD38 pathway and SIRT1 independent NRF2-PPARα/AMPKα pathway, and the NRF2-PPARα/AMPKα pathway plays a more profound role in facilitating cell survival than the SIRT1-p53-CD38 pathway does. Mitochondrial content and membrane potential were significantly reduced in response to H2O2 treatment, whereas activated NRF2-PPARα/AMPKα pathway by NAMPT overexpression rescued the mitochondrial membrane potential and content, suggesting that maintained mitochondrial content and integrity by NAMPT overexpression might be one of the key mechanisms to maintain mitochondrial NAD+ level and subsequently dictate cell survival under oxidative stress. Our results indicated that NRF2 is a novel down-stream target of NAMPT, which mediates anti-apoptosis function of NAMPT via maintaining mitochondrial content and membrane potential.  相似文献

Cell survival in multicellular organisms is controlled by numerous cytokines, growth factors, and autocrine survival factors. Autocrine survival factors remain the least studied. The aim of this work was to study the autocrine factors which control survival of a CTLL-2 cytotoxic cell line: isolation and characterization of biologic activity along with physicochemical features of the active molecules have been performed. The conditioned medium of CTLL-2 cells containing autocrine factors was separated by gel filtration into four fractions: A, B, C, and D (according to the order of their efflux from the column). The biological activity of the fractions was tested by the MTT assay with the low density 5 days culture as a cell survival model. The testing of the ability of the fractions to support the cell survival in culture has shown that fractions A and B were active, whereas fractions C and D were not. The presence of a peptide of the molecular mass of 1157 Da in active fractions A and B has been detected by MALDI-TOF-mass-spectrometry. Considerable amount of lactate in fractions A and B, which flowed out from the column along with the peptide, has been detected with an enzymatic lactic acid assay. The lactate concentration in fraction A was 3.72 ± 0.11 mM and it was 0.83 ± 0.06 mM in fraction B. The obtained data suggest that fractions A and B contain supramolecular complexes of the peptide (M 1157 Da) with different lactate content. The peptide in a free form has not been found in the CTLL-2 cell conditioned medium.  相似文献
