Objective and Methods Endothelium produces oxygen-derived free radicals which play a major role in vessel wall physiology and pathology. Whereas NO· production from endothelium has been extensively characterized, little is known about endothelium-derived O-·2. In the present study, we determined the O-·2 production of bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) using the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1 pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy.
Results An ESR adduct DMPO-OH detected in the supernatant of BAEC after stimulation with the calcium ionophore A23187 originated from the trapping of extracellular O-·2, because coincubation with superoxide dismutase (30 U/ml) completely suppressed the ESR signal, whereas catalase (2000 U/ml) had no effect. A23187 stimulated extracellular O-·2 production in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The coenzymes NADH and NADPH both increased the ESR signal, whereas a flavin antagonist, diphenylene iodonium, abolished the ESR signal. Phorbol myristate acetate potentiated, whereas bisindolylmaleimide I inhibited the A23187-stimulated O-·2 production, suggesting the involvement of protein kinase C. These signals were not altered L-NAME, a NO-synthase inhibitor, suggesting that the endogenous production of NO· did not alter O-·2 production. Finally, the amount of O-·2 generated by A23187-stimulated post-confluent BAEC was one order of magnitude higher than that evoked by rat aortic smooth muscle cells stimulated under the same conditions. 相似文献

Endothelium produces oxygen-derived free radicals (nitric oxide, NO&z.rad;; superoxide anion, O(2)(*-)) which play a major role in physiology and pathology of the vessel wall. However, little is known about endothelium-derived O(2)(*-) production, particularly due to the difficulty in assessing O(2)(*-) when its production is low and to controversies recently raised about the use of lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence. We compared four techniques of O(2)(*-) assessment when its production is low. In the present study, we have compared ferricytochrome c reduction, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy using DMPO as spin trap, hydroethidine fluorescence, and lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence to assess O(2)(*-) production in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC). We focused our study on extracellular O(2)(*-) production because the specificity of the signal is provided by the use of superoxide dismutase, and this control cannot be obtained intracellularly. We found that the calcium ionophore A23187 dose-dependently stimulated O(2)(*-) production, with a good correlation between all four techniques. The signals evoked by postconfluent BAEC were increased 2- to 7-fold in comparison to just-confluent BAEC, according to the technique used. Ferricytochrome c 20 microm rather than at 100 microm appears more suitable to detect O(2)(*-). However, in the presence of electron donors such as NADH or NADPH, lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence generated high amounts of O(2)(*-). Thus, ferricytochrome c reduction, electron spin resonance (ESR), and hydroethidine fluorescence appear as adequate tools for the detection of extracellular endothelium-derived O(2)(*-) production, whereas lucigenin may be artifactual, even when a low concentration of lucigenin is employed. 相似文献

用自旋捕捉-ESR方法对四苯基卟啉(H2TPP)在苯中光解后产生的活泼自由基进行研究。当PBN存在时,光解中可给出6重ESR峰,表明自旋加合物为[HTPP-PBN]·。而氧和碘化物的猝灭作用可知H2TPP的光解是经由三重激发态途径进行的。而PBN的光敏分解则是由尚未转入三重态的H2TPP所引起的。 相似文献

Indole‐2 and 3‐carboxamides (IDs) are proposed to be selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors. Since cyclooxygenase‐1 may be involved in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, we hypothesize that these indole derivatives have antioxidative properties. We have employed chemiluminescence (CL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trapping to examine this hypothesis. We report here the results of a study of reactivity of 10 selected indole derivatives towards ROS. The following generators of ROS were applied: potassium superoxide (KO2) as a source of superoxide radicals (O2·?), the Fenton reaction (Co‐EDTA/H2O2) for hydroxyl radicals (HO·), and a mixture of alkaline aqueous H2O2 and acetonitrile for singlet oxygen (1O2). Hydroxyl radicals were detected as 5,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrroline‐N‐oxide (DMPO) spin adduct, whereas 2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐piperidine (TEMP) was used as a detector of 1O2. Using the Fenton reaction, 0.5 mmol/L IDs were found to inhibit DMPO‐?H radical formation in the range 7–37%. Furthermore the tested compounds containing the thiazolyl group also inhibited the 1O2‐dependent TEMPO radical, generated in the acetonitrile + H2O2 system. About 20% inhibition was obtained in the presence of 0.5 mmol/L IDs. 1 mmol/L IDs caused an approximately 13–70% decrease in the CL sum from the O2·? generating system (1 mmol/L). The aim of this paper is to evaluate these indole derivatives as antioxidants and their abilities to scavenge ROS. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

We explored the effects of compounds known or proposed to affect microtubule functions on superoxide (O2−) production in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes stimulated by N-formyl-methionyl-phenylalanine (f-Met-Phe), calcium ionophore A23187 and phorbol myristate acetate. F-Met-Phe-induced O2− production was markedly potentiated not only by microtubule-disrupting agents, including colchicine, vincristine, vinblastine, nocodazole, podophyllotoxin and griseofulvin, but also deuterium oxide (2H2O), which is proposed to stabilize microtubules, and not affected by lumicolchicine. Ionophore A23187-induced O2− production was not influenced by colchicine, and markedly enhanced by 2H2O, whereas phorbol myristate acetate-induced O2− production was not influenced by colchicine, and slightly inhibited by 2H2O. 2H2O did not counteract the effects of colchicine and vice versa. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP and prostaglandin E1 inhibited O2− production stimulated by f-Met-Phe and ionophore A23187, whereas phorbol myristate acetate-induced O2− production was strongly resistant to the inhibitory effect of these agents. The enhancing effect of colchicine and 2H2O on f-Met-Phe-induced O2− production was abolished by dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Colchicine promoted concanavalin A cap formation, and 2H2O produced cancanavalin A patch formation, whereas dibutyryl cyclic AMP did not affect the distribution of concanavalin A receptors. In addition, 2H2O and dibutyryl cyclic AMP did not interfere with the colchicine-induced concanavalin A cap formation. These findings suggest that f-Met-Phe, ionophore A23187 and phorbol myristate acetate may activate the oxidative metabolism of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes through different mechanisms, and that microtubule-disrupting agents, 2H2O and cyclic AMP agonists may affect the different steps of the activating system of NAD(P)H oxidase. 相似文献

Extraction of whole lobes of normal rat liver with dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) under N2 gives extracts which contain 5—10 μmol/l·O?2 (50-100 nmol·O?2 per 10 ml extract per 4 g liver; 1.25-2.50 nmol·O?2 per millilitre per gram liver). Evidence for ·O?2 in the extracts is given by: (1) electron spin resonance signals (ESR), (2) differential pulse polarography (DPP), (3) chemiluminescence (CL), and (4) nitroblue tetrazolium reduction (NBT). All tests yield results identical with those obtained with authentic ·O?2. Extraction of ·O?2 is enhanced by tetrabutyl ammonium ion, and is maximal at 1-3 min. These results raise the possibility that substantial amounts of ·O?2 are normally sequestered in protective membranous sites in vivo. 相似文献

采用水培实验研究了4个浓度(5、10、20、40 mg·L-1)除草剂阿特拉津胁迫下,皇竹草(Pennisetum hydridum)叶片内超氧阴离子生成速率、过氧化氢(H2O2)含量、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性、过氧化物酶(POD)活性、丙二醛(MDA)含量、原生质膜透性的变化,探讨皇竹草对阿特拉津的抗性及其生理机制。结果显示:(1)低浓度(5、10 mg·L-1)的阿特拉津胁迫使皇竹草叶片内超氧阴离子生成速率和CAT活性升高,却使H2O2含量及SOD和POD活性降低,但随着培养时间的延长,培养液中阿特拉津浓度的降低导致上述指标又有恢复到正常水平的趋势;而高浓度(40 mg·L-1)的阿特拉津胁迫则使皇竹草叶片内H2O2含量、SOD、POD和CAT活性持续降低。(2)在各胁迫浓度下持续胁迫10 d后,皇竹草叶片内MDA含量开始逐渐升高,并且升高幅度随着胁迫浓度的提高而明显增加,但各胁迫浓度下叶片原生质膜相对透性未见明显的变化。研究表明,皇竹草可能通过活性氧等信号分子调控自身保护酶系统的活性来缓解阿特拉津造成的伤害,从而对低浓度(5、10 mg·L-1)的阿特拉津胁迫表现出较强抗性。 相似文献

Increasing interest in the study of nitric oxide (NO·) in may facets of biological research necessitates a search for accurate techniques to directly identify the free radical. One recently employed strategy for NO· detection is the method of electron spin resonance (ESR) used in combination with nitrone and nitroso spin traps. Applying this technique to our studies with nitric oxide synthase (NOS), we found that NO· generated directly from the enzyme system could not be detected. Further investigation revealed that 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulfonic acid (DBNBS) inhibited NO· generation by NOS at concentrations used fro spin trapping. Reexamining the ability of various nitrones and DBNBS to spin trap authentic NO· dissolved in buffer, we obtained ESR spectra similar to those previously reported for the spin trap DBNBS. However, continuing our studies with 15NO· and N-hydroxylamine, we found these spectra to be artifactual. Our results emphasize the need to synthesized new spin traps, since currently available compounds are not capable of spin trapping NO· generated by NOS. 相似文献

Photocatalytic production of the electron (e-) and positive hole (h+) in an aqueous suspension of TiO2 (anatase form) under illumination by near-UV light (295-390 nm) generated the superoxide (O2 -) and hydroxyl radical (?OH), which both proceeded linearly with reaction time, while H2O2 accumulated non-linearly. Under anaerobic conditions (introduced Ar gas), the yields of three active species of oxygen were decreased to 10-20% of those detected in the air-saturated reaction. The electron spin resonance (ESR) signal characteristics of ?OH were obtained when a spin trap of 5,5-dimthyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) was included in the illuminating mixture. The intensity of the ESR signal was increased by Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase, and decreased under anaerobic conditions, amounting to only 20% of the intensity detected in the aerobic reaction. The addition of H2O2 to the reaction mixture resulted in about an 8-fold increase of ?OH production in the anaerobic reaction, but only about 1.5-fold in the aerobic reaction, indicating that e- generated by the photocatalytic reaction reduced H2O2 to produce ?OH plus OH-. On the other hand, D2O lowered the yield of ?OH generation to 18% under air and 40% under Ar conditions, indicating the oxidation of H2O by h+. The addition of Fe(III)-EDTA as an electron acceptor effectively increased ?OH generation, 2.3-fold in the aerobic reaction and 8.4-fold in the anaerobic reaction, the yield in the latter exceeding that in the air-saturated reaction. 相似文献

以水培7d苗龄的山黧豆幼苗为材料,向水培溶液中施加不同浓度H2O2处理山黧豆幼苗24h,分析山黧豆根系受氧化胁迫的程度与抗氧化系统的应答特征,以揭示山黧豆对氧化胁迫的耐受机制。结果显示:(1)随外源H2O2处理浓度的不断增加,山黧豆幼苗侧根的数目无显著变化,而其根的鲜重则显著降低。(2)同时,根系组织的内源H2O2染色范围和程度显著增高,但根尖区域始终保持较低水平的H2O2;相反,O-·2染色范围和程度明显减少,根尖区域却始终保持较高水平的O-·2。(3)同期根系抗坏血酸(ASC)含量及过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)与抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)的活性均表现出了先升高后降低的趋势,而超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)一直表现为持续上升的趋势。研究表明,在外源H2O2胁迫条件下,山黧豆根系O-·2的积累可能与其生长和活力呈正相关,而根系H2O2的积累则与其受氧化胁迫程度呈正相关;低浓度的H2O2处理可以提高山黧豆抗氧化系统对体内活性氧的清除能力。 相似文献

The reaction of the superoxide radical anion (O-·2), with the semi-oxidized tryptophan neutral radical (Trp·) generated from tryptophan (Trp) by pulse radiolysis has been observed in a variety of functionalized Trp derivatives including peptides. It is found that the reaction proceeds 4–5 times faster in positively charged peptides, such as Lys-Trp-Lys, Lys-Gly-Trp-Lys and Lys-Gly-Trp-Lys-O-tert-butyl, than in solutions of the negatively charged N-acetyl tryptophan (NAT). However, the reactivity of O-·2 with the Trp· radical is totally inhibited upon binding of these peptides to micelles of negatively charged SDS and is reduced upon binding to native DNA. By contrast, no change in reactivity is observed in a medium containing CTAB, where the peptides cannot bind to the positively charged micelles. On the other hand, the reactivity of the Trp· radical formed from NAT with O-·2 is reduced to half that of the free Trp· in buffer but is markedly increased in CTAB micelles. The models studied here incorporate elements of the complex environment in which Trp· and O-·2 may be concomitantly formed in biological system and demonstrate the magnitude of the influence such elements may have on the kinetics of reactions involving these two species. 相似文献

Photosensitizers newly developed for photodynamic therapy of cancer need to be assessed using accurate methods of measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS). Little is known about the characteristics of the reaction of singlet oxygen (1O2) with spin traps, although this knowledge is necessary in electron spin resonance (ESR)/spin trapping. In the present study, we examined the effect of various reductants usually present in biological samples on the reaction of 1O2 with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). The ESR signal of the hydroxyl radical (?OH) adduct of DMPO (DMPO-OH) resulting from 1O2-dependent generation of ?OH strengthened remarkably in the presence of reduced glutathione (GSH), 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox), ascorbic acid, NADPH, etc. A similar increase was observed in the photosensitization of uroporphyrin (UP), rose bengal (RB) or methylene blue (MB). Use of 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DEPMPO) as a spin trap significantly lessened the production of its ?OH adduct (DEPMPO-OH) in the presence of the reductants. The addition of DMPO to the DEPMPO-spin trapping system remarkably increased the signal intensity of DEPMPO-OH. DMPO-mediated generation of ?OH was also confirmed utilizing the hydroxylation of salicylic acid (SA). These results suggest that biological reductants enhance the ESR signal of DMPO-OH produced by DMPO-mediated generation of ?OH from 1O2, and that spin trap-mediated ?OH generation hardly occurs with DEPMPO. 相似文献

Thioctic acid (TA) and its reduced form dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) have recently gained somc recognition as useful biological antioxidants. In particular, the ability of DHLA to inhibit lipid peroxidation has been reported. In the present study, the effects of TA and DHLA on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in the aqueous phase have been investigated. Xanthine plus xanthine oxidase-generated superoxide radicals (O2), detected by electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) using DMPO as a spin trap. were eliminated by DHLA but not by TA. The sulhydryl content of DHLA, measured using Ellman's reagent decreased subsequent to the incubation with xanthine plus xanthine oxidase confirming the interaction between DHLA and O2-. An increase of hydrogen peroxide concentration accompanied the reaction between DHLA and O2x, suggesting the reduction of O2- by DHLA. Competition of O2- with epinephrine allowed us to estimate a second order kinetic constant of the reaction between O2- and DHLA, which was found to be a 3.3 × 105 M-1 s-1. On the other hand, the DMPO signal of hydroxyl radicals (HO ·) generated by Fenton's reagent were eliminated by both TA and DHLA. Inhibition of the Fenton reaction by TA was confirmed by a chemiluminescence measurement using luminol as a probe for HO ·. There was no electron transfer from Fe2+ to TA or from DHLA to Fe3 + detected by measuring the Fe2+ -phenanthroline complex. DHLA did not potentiate the DMPO signal of HO · indicating no prooxidant activity of DHLA. These results suggest that both TA and DHLA possess antioxidant properties. In particular. DHLA is very effective as shown by its dual capability by eliminating both O2-; and HO ·. 相似文献

The effect of lactic acid (lactate) on Fenton based hydroxyl radical (·OH) production was studied by spin trapping, ESR, and fluorescence methods using DMPO and coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (3-CCA) as the ·OH traps respectively. The ·OH adduct formation was inhibited by lactate up to 0.4mM (lactate/iron stoichiometry = 2) in both experiments, but markedly enhanced with increasing concentrations of lactate above this critical concentration. When the H2O2 dependence was examined, the DMPO-OH signal was increased linearly with H2O2 concentration up to 1 mM and then saturated in the absence of lactate. In the presence of lactate, however, the DMPO-OH signal was increased further with higher H2O2 concentration than 1 mM, and the saturation level was also increased dependent on lactate concentration. Spectroscopic studies revealed that lactate forms a stable colored complex with Fe3+ at lactate/Fe3+ stoichiometry of 2, and the complex formation was strictly related to the DMPO-OH formation. The complex formation did not promote the H2O2 mediated Fe3+ reduction. When the Fe3+-lactate (1:2) complex was reacted with H2O2, the initial rate of hydroxylated 3-CCA formation was linearly increased with H2O2 concentrations. All the data obtained in the present experiments suggested that the Fe3+-lactate (1:2) complex formed in the Fenton reaction system reacts directly with H2O2 to produce additional ·OH in the Fenton reaction by other mechanisms than lactate or lactate/Fe3+ mediated promotion of Fe3+/Fe2+ redox cycling. 相似文献

Decreased superoxide anion radical production by rat alveolar macrophages following inhalation of ozone or nitrogen dioxide 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
exposure of rats to ozone or nitrogen dioxide results in a dose-dependent decrease in superoxide anion radical production (O2?·) by alveolar macrophages isolated from the exposed animals. When alveolar macrophages from ozone-exposed animals were stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, a non-phagocytic stimulus of O2?· production) the decrease in O2?· production ranged from 85.9% of control at 3.2 ppm-hrs ozone to 7% of control at 10.5 ppm-hrs. In a similar fashion, O2?· production by PMA-stimulated macrophages from NO2-exposed rates ranged from 78% of control at 18.3 ppm-hrs NO2 down to 14.5% of control at 51 ppm-hrs. Since the viability of the alveolar macrophages obtained from ozone or nitrogen dioxide-exposed animals was 88% or better in all cases as judged by both Trypan blue exclusion and lactate dehydrogenase release, the decreased ability of these cells to produce superoxide anion radical cannot be attributed to a pollutant effect on cell viability. This diminution in superoxide anion radical production by alveolar macrophages from the pollutant-exposed animals might account, in part, for the ability of these 2 air pollutants to potentiate bacterial infections in laboratory animals. 相似文献

We investigated aqueous solutions containing nitrite ions and DMPO (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide) by electron spin resonance (ESR) in the pH range from 1 to 6. A DMPO-OH signal was observed below pH 3.0 in the presence of nitrite ions, whereas in the absence of nitrite ion, an extremely weak signal was observed below pH 1.5. Addition of methanol, a hydroxyl radical scavenger, to this system did not lead to the appearance of a detectable DMPO-CH2OH signal. The possibility of this DMPO-OH signal being due to a genuine spin trapping process with hydroxyl radical was, therefore, ruled out. The reactivities of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in this system with DMPO have also been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) at the IEFPCM (water)/B3LYP/6–311?+?G ** level of theory. On the basis of the pH dependence of the signal intensity and the redox potential E° (versus SHE) calculated by DFT theory, we propose that the origin of this signal is “inverted spin trapping” via one-electron oxidation of DMPO by H2ONO+, followed by the nucleophilic addition of water. Prevention of these false-positive results when detecting hydroxyl radical using ESR spin trapping requires an awareness of both the presence of nitrite ions in the solution and the solution pH. 相似文献
