Vanadyl ion (+4 oxidation state) has been shown to be an effective agent for chemoprotection of cancers in animals. For understanding the mechanism, distribution of vanadium was studied. More vanadium was found to accumulate in the nuclei of the liver of rats when it was given as vanadyl sulfate than when it was given as sodium vanadate (+5 oxidation state). The reactivity of vanadyl ion with DNA was investigated by the DNA cleavage technique and the reaction mechanism by ESR spectroscopy. Incubation of double-strand DNA with vanadyl ion and hydrogen peroxide resulted in marked concentration- and pH-dependent DNA cleavage. Studies by the ESR spin-trap method demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals are generated during the reactions of vanadyl ion with hydrogen peroxide. Thus the antineoplastic action of vanadyl ion is proposed to be due to DNA cleavage by hydroxyl radicals generated in the cells.  相似文献

ESR spin trapping measurements demonstrate generation of hydroxyl (.OH) radical from reduction of vanadate by rat liver microsomes/NADH without exogenous H2O2. Catalase decreases the .OH signal while increasing a vanadium(4+) signal. Addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD) or measurements under an argon atmosphere show decreased .OH radical production. The results suggest that during the one-electron vanadate reduction process by microsomes/NADH, molecular oxygen is reduced to H2O2, which then reacts with vanadium (4+) to generate .OH radical via a Fenton-like mechanism.  相似文献

The iron storage protein, ferritin, represents a possible source of iron for oxidative reactions in biological systems. It has been shown that superoxide and several xenobiotic free radicals can release iron from ferritin by a reductive mechanism. Tetravalent vanadium (vanadyl) reacts with oxygen to generate superoxide and pentavalent vanadium (vanadate). This led to the hypothesis that vanadyl causes the release of iron from ferritin. Therefore, the ability of vanadyl and vanadate to release iron from ferritin was investigated. Iron release was measured by monitoring the generation of the Fe2+-fcrrozine complex. It was found that vanadyl but not vanadate was able to mobilize ferritin iron in a concentration dependent fashion. Initial rates. and iron release over 30 minutes. were unaffected by the addition of superoxide dismutase. Glutathione or vanadate added in relative excess to the concentration of vanadyl, inhibited iron release up to 45%. Addition of ferritin at the concentration used for measuring iron release prevented vanddyl-induced NADH oxidation. Vanadyl promoted lipid peroxidation in phospholipid liposomes. Addition of ferritin to the system stimulated lipid peroxidation up to 50% above that with vanadyl alone. Fcrritin alone did not promote significant levels of lipid peroxidation.  相似文献

The oxidase reaction of lipoamide dehydrogenase with NADH generates superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide under aerobic conditions. ESR spin trapping using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) was applied to characterize the oxygen radical species generated by lipoamide dehydrogenase and the mechanism of their generation. During the oxidase reaction of lipoamide dehydrogenase, DMPO-OOH and DMPO-OH signals were observed. The DMPO-OOH signal disappeared on addition of superoxide dismutase. These results demonstrate that the DMPO-OOH adduct was produced from the superoxide radical generated by lipoamide dehydrogenase. In the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide, a DMPO-CH3 signal appeared at the expense of the DMPO-OH signal, indicating that the DMPO-OH adduct was produced directly from the hydroxyl radical rather than by decomposition of the DMPO-OOH adduct. The DMPO-OH signal decreased on addition of superoxide dismutase, catalase, or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, indicating that the hydroxyl radical was generated via the metal-catalyzed Haber-Weiss reaction from the superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide. Addition of ferritin to the NADH-lipoamide dehydrogenase system resulted in a decrease of the DMPO-OOH signal, indicating that the superoxide radical interacted with ferritin iron.  相似文献

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of vanadium in the +2, +3, +4, and +5 valence states on superoxide generation, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and hydroxyl radical formation by activated human neutrophils in vitro, using lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence (LECL), autoiodination, and electron spin resonance with 5,5-dimethyl-l-pyrroline N-oxide as the spin trap, respectively. At concentrations of up to 25 microM, vanadium, in the four different valence states used, did not affect the LECL responses of neutrophils activated with either the chemoattractant, N-formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine (1 microM), or the phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 12-acetate (25 ng/ml). However, exposure to vanadium in the +2, +3, and +4, but not the +5, valence states was accompanied by significant augmentation of hydroxyl radical formation by activated neutrophils and attenuation of MPO-mediated iodination. With respect to hydroxyl radical formation, similar effects were observed using cell-free systems containing either hydrogen peroxide (100 microM) or xanthine/xanthine oxidase together with vanadium (+2, +3, +4), while the activity of purified MPO was inhibited by the metal in these valence states. These results demonstrate that vanadium in the +2, +3, and +4 valence states interacts prooxidatively with human neutrophils, competing effectively with MPO for hydrogen peroxide to promote formation of the highly toxic hydroxyl radical.  相似文献

Vanadyl reacts with hydrogen peroxide forming hydroxyl radicals in a Fenton-like reaction. The hydroxyl radicals were spin trapped and identified using 5.5-dimethyl-I-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). The quantity of hydroxyl radicals spin trapped during the reaction between vanadyl and hydrogen peroxide are equal to half of the hydroxyl radicals spin trapped during the reaction between ferrous ions and hydrogen peroxide. Experiments in the presence of formate show that this hydroxyl radical scavenger effectively competes with DMPO preventing the formation of the DMPO-OH adduct. However. in experiments using ethanol as the hydroxyl radical scavenger it was not possible to completely prevent the formation of DMPO-OH. The formation of this additional DMPO-OH in the presence of ethanol does not depend on the concentration of dissolved oxygen, but does depend on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide added to the vanadyl solution. The results suggest that the additional DMPO-OH formed in the presence of ethanol originates from a vanadium (V) intermediate. This intermediate may oxidize DMPO leading to the formation of DMPO-0; which rapidly decomposes forming DMPO-OH.  相似文献

The effect and possible mechanism of action of vanadate on the isolated pulmonary arterial rings of normal rats were studied. Pulmonary arterial rings contracted in response to vanadate (0.1-1 mM) in a concentration-dependent manner. Preincubation of the pulmonary arterial rings with 1 mM melatonin significantly reduced the contractile effect of vanadate by more than 60%. Furthermore, addition of hydrogen peroxide (50 microM) or enzymatic generation of hydrogen peroxide by the addition of glucose oxidase (10 U/mL) to the medium containing glucose produced remarkable increases in the pulmonary arterial tension, 46.2 +/- 7.3 and 78.7 +/- 9.7 g tension/g tissue, respectively. Similarly, incubation of the pulmonary arterial rings with 1 mM melatonin significantly reduced the contractile responses of the arterial rings to hydrogen peroxide and glucose/glucose oxidase to 25.7 +/- 2.9 and 24.7 +/- 4.4 g tension/g tissue, respectively. Vanadate, in vitro, significantly stimulated the oxidation of NADH by xanthine oxidase, and the rate of oxidation was increased by increasing either time or vanadate concentration. Similarly, addition of melatonin to a reaction mixture containing xanthine oxidase and vanadate significantly inhibited the rate of NADH oxidation in a concentration-dependent fashion. The results of the present study indicated that vanadate induced contraction in the isolated pulmonary arterial rings, which was significantly reduced by melatonin. Furthermore, the contractile effect of vanadate on the pulmonary arterial rings may be attributed to the intracellular generation of hydrogen peroxide.  相似文献

Summary Oxidation of NADH by rat erythrocyte plasma membrane was stimulated by about 50-fold on addition of decavanadate, but not other forms of vanadate like orthovanadate, metavanadate aad vanadyl sulphate. The vanadate-stimulated activity was observed only in phosphate buffer while other buffers like Tris, acetate, borate and Hepes were ineffective. Oxygen was consumed during the oxidation of NADH and the products were found to be NAD+ and hydrogen peroxide. The reaction had a stoichiometry of one mole of oxygen consumption and one mole of H2O2 production for every mole of NADH that was oxidized.Superoxide dismutase and manganous inhibited the activity indicating the involvement of superoxide anions. Electron spin resonance in the presence of a spin trap, 5, 5-dimethyl pyrroline N-oxide, indicated the presence of superoxide radicals. Electron spin resonance studies also showed the appearance of VIV species by reduction of VV of decavanadate indicating thereby participation of vanadate in the redox reaction. Under the conditions of the assay, vanadate did not stimulate lipid peroxidation in erythrocyte membranes. Extracts from lipid-free preparations of the erythrocyte membrane showed full activity. This ruled out the possibility of oxygen uptake through lipid peroxidation. The vanadate-stimulated NADH oxidation activity could be partially solubilized by treating erythrocyte membranes either with Triton X-100 or sodium cholate. Partially purified enzyme obtained by extraction with cholate and fractionation by ammonium sulphate and DEAE-Sephadex was found to be unstable.  相似文献

Vanadate in the polymeric form of decavanadate, but not other forms, stimulated oxidation of NADH to NAD+ NADPH was also oxidized with comparable rates. This oxidation of NADH was accompanied by uptake of oxygen and generated hydrogen peroxide with the following stoichiometry: NADH + H+ + O2 → NAD+ + H2O2. The reaction followed second-order kinetics. The rate was dependent on the concentration of both NADH and vanadate and increased with decreasing pH. The reaction had an obligatory requirement for phosphate ions. Esr studies in the presence of the spin trap dimethyl pyrroline N oxide indicated the involvement of Superoxide anion as an intermediate. The reaction was sensitive to Superoxide dismutase and other scavengers of superoxide anions.  相似文献

The reaction of xanthine and xanthine oxidase generates superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. In contrast to earlier works, recent spin trapping data (Kuppusamy, P., and Zweier, J.L. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 9880-9884) suggested that hydroxyl radical may also be a product of this reaction. Determining if hydroxyl radical results directly from the xanthine/xanthine oxidase reaction is important for 1) interpreting experimental data in which this reaction is used as a model of oxidant stress, and 2) understanding the pathogenesis of ischemia/reperfusion injury. Consequently, we evaluated the conditions required for hydroxyl radical generation during the oxidation of xanthine by xanthine oxidase. Following the addition of some, but not all, commercial preparations of xanthine oxidase to a mixture of xanthine, deferoxamine, and either 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide or a combination of alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butyl-nitrone and dimethyl sulfoxide, hydroxyl radical-derived spin adducts were detected. With other preparations, no evidence of hydroxyl radical formation was noted. Xanthine oxidase preparations that generated hydroxyl radical had greater iron associated with them, suggesting that adventitious iron was a possible contributing factor. Consistent with this hypothesis, addition of H2O2, in the absence of xanthine, to "high iron" xanthine oxidase preparations generated hydroxyl radical. Substitution of a different iron chelator, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid for deferoxamine, or preincubation of high iron xanthine oxidase preparations with chelating resin, or overnight dialysis of the enzyme against deferoxamine decreased or eliminated hydroxyl radical generation without altering the rate of superoxide production. Therefore, hydroxyl radical does not appear to be a product of the oxidation of xanthine by xanthine oxidase. However, commercial xanthine oxidase preparations may contain adventitious iron bound to the enzyme, which can catalyze hydroxyl radical formation from hydrogen peroxide.  相似文献

Oxidation of NADH has been observed in an in vitro system requiring NADH, vanadate, ascorbate, and phosphate. Similar results were observed with NADPH. Ascorbate provides the reducing equivalents necessary to reduce vanadate to vanadyl. Vanadyl autoxidizes producing superoxide which initiates a free radical chain reaction resulting in oxidation of NADH. Oxidation is inhibited by superoxide dismutase but not by catalase or ethanol. Ascorbate functions to initiate the free radical chain reaction but is not required in stoichiometric concentrations. At higher concentrations, ascorbate inhibits NADH oxidation. Inorganic phosphate was required for NADH oxidation. Dialysis of phosphate buffers against solutions containing apoferritin or conalbumin or addition of transition metal cations or chelators to the reaction medium did not alter dependence on phosphate. Phosphate and vanadate were interchangeable in their effects on kinetic parameters of NADH oxidation except that vanadate was 100 times more potent than phosphate. Vanadate participates directly in the initiating and propagating redox reactions of NADH oxidation. Phosphate may be important in lowering the energy of activation for the necessary transfer of hydronium ion and water in the transition state between vanadate anion and vanadyl cation.  相似文献

The oxidation of NADH and accompanying reduction of oxygen to H2O2 stimulated by polyvanadate was markedly inhibited by SOD and cytochrome c. The presence of decavanadate, the polymeric form, is necessary for obtaining the microsomal enzyme-catalyzed activity. The accompanying activity of reduction of cytochrome c was found to be SOD-insensitive and therefore does not represent superoxide formation. The reduction of cytochrome c by vanadyl sulfate was also SOD-insensitive. In the presence of H2O2 all the forms of vanadate were able to oxidize reduced cytochrome c, which was sensitive to mannitol, tris and also catalase, indicating H202-dependent generation of hydroxyl radicals. Using ESR and spin trapping technique only hydroxyl radicals, but not superoxide anion radicals, were detected during polyvanadate-dependent NADH oxidation.  相似文献

ESR spectra due to the vanadyl ion (VO2+, +4 oxidation state) was detected in the branchial basket of Ascidia ahodori, which is reported to contain vanadium in high amounts. The branchial basket, washed with a medium containing 1 mM EDTA, and the supernatant showed different types of vanadyl ESR spectra. On further treatment with 100 mM EDTA the branchial basket gave a characteristic ESR spectrum, indicating that the vanadyl ion binds to a high molecular weight matrix, such as proteins, which makes up the branchial basket. Judging from the relationship of the ESR parameters, g versus A, the vanadyl ion is assumed to ligate with moieties such as deprotonated hydroxyl, or nitrogenous or thiolato groups from oxy- or thiolamino acid residues. The branchial basket was shown to have the ability to reduce added vanadate ion (+5 oxidation state) to the vanadyl form. On the basis of these observations, participation of the branchial basket in vanadium-accumulation by ascidians from seawater is suggested.  相似文献

Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies on spin trapping of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-1-oxide (DMPO) were performed in NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase-paraquat systems at pH 7.4. Spin adduct concentrations were determined by comparing ESR spectra of the adducts with the ESR spectrum of a stable radical solution. Kinetic analysis in the presence of 100 microM desferrioxamine B (deferoxamine) showed that: 1) the oxidation of 1 mol of NADPH produces 2 mol of superoxide ions, all of which can be trapped by DMPO when extrapolated to infinite concentration; 2) the rate constant for the reaction of superoxide with DMPO was 1.2 M-1 s-1; 3) the superoxide spin adduct of DMPO (DMPO-OOH) decays with a half-life of 66 s and the maximum level of DMPO-OOH formed can be calculated by a simple steady state equation; and 4) 2.8% or less of the DMPO-OOH decay occurs through a reaction producing hydroxyl radicals. In the presence of 100 microM EDTA, 5 microM Fe(III) ions nearly completely inhibited the formation of the hydroxyl radical adduct of DMPO (DMPO-OH) as well as the formation of DMPO-OOH and, when 100 microM hydrogen peroxide was present, produced DMPO-OH exclusively. Fe(III)-EDTA is reduced by superoxide and the competition of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide in the reaction with Fe(II)-EDTA seems to be reflected in the amounts of DMPO-OOH and DMPO-OH detected. These effects of EDTA can be explained from known kinetic data including a rate constant of 6 x 10(4) M-1 s-1 for reduction of DMPO-OOH by Fe(II)-EDTA. The effect of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DETAPAC) on the formation of DMPO-OOH and DMPO-OH was between deferoxamine and EDTA, and about the same as that of endogenous chelator (phosphate).  相似文献

Vanadyl caused a time- and dose-dependent degradation of deoxyribose to carbonyl products detectable with thiobarbituric acid. This process was inhibited by catalase, ethanol or HEPES; whereas superoxide dismutase was without effect. Vanadate did not substitute for vanadyl even in the presence of a source of O2- plus H2 O 2; but it did so in the presence of reductants such as thiols or NADH. It appears that hydrogen peroxide, generated by the autoxidation of vanadyl, is reduced by vanadyl to the hydroxyl radical; which, in turn, was responsible for the degradation of deoxyribose. A similar process might contribute to the toxic and pharmacological effects of vanadium salts.  相似文献

The mechanism of oxidation of NADH by either vanadium(V) or vanadium(IV) was examined in the presence of reducing agents, complexing agents, and hydrogen peroxide. Reducing agents that stimulate the oxidation of NADH by V(V) include: a variety of cysteine analogues, glutathione, beta-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, and ascorbate. Complexing agents which stimulate NADH oxidation by V(V) include cystine, glutathione disulfide, and dehydroascorbate. Vanadium(IV)-dependent systems which oxidize NADH include combinations of V(IV) with cysteine or air alone. Combination of either V(V) or V(IV) with hydrogen peroxide leads to NADH oxidation. Based on kinetic analysis and the use of the diagnostic inhibitors--superoxide dismutase, catalase, albumin, mannitol, ethanol, and anaerobic conditions--we have assigned two major mechanisms of NADH oxidation. One is the previously reported mechanism which involves V(V)-superoxide as the NADH oxidant. This reaction is inhibited by superoxide dismutase and anaerobic conditions but not by catalase or ethanol. This reaction is observed for V(V) in the presence of reducing agents and complexing agents. The second reaction mechanism operates when V(IV) comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide and involves V(III)-superoxide as the NADH oxidant. This reaction is inhibited by catalase (if unligated hydrogen peroxide is an intermediate) and superoxide dismutase but not anaerobic conditions or ethanol. This mechanism is observed for reactions of V(IV) with air or hydrogen peroxide.  相似文献

The present study was designed to determine which form of vanadium is involved in initiating conjugated diene formation in both purified and partially peroxidized fatty acids, and to determine if active oxygen radicals are involved in this process. We report that vanadyl is the active form of vanadium in initiating conjugated diene formation in micelles prepared from purified fatty acids or partially peroxidized fatty acids. Vanadate did not initiate conjugated diene formation in either case. Hydroxyl radicals were shown to be involved in the initiation of diene conjugation when vanadyl and hydrogen peroxide were added together in a reaction mixture. In this case, there was a rapid burst of conjugated diene formation which quickly leveled off. Using spin trapping techniques, hydroxyl radicals were shown to be generated in the vanadyl-catalyzed break-down of fatty acid hydroperoxides. A comparison was made between the ability of vanadyl or vanadyl chelates to decompose hydrogen peroxide and catalyze the decomposition of fatty acid hydroperoxides. It was found that strongly chelated vanadyl (vanadyl/EDTA) was much less effective in decomposing both hydrogen peroxide and fatty acid hydroperoxides than the weak vanadyl chelates (e.g., vanadyl/ADP). This study suggests a mechanism to explain the effects of vanadium on lipid peroxidation.  相似文献

Mitochondrial aconitase (m-aconitase) contains a [4Fe-4S](2+) cluster in its active site that catalyzes the stereospecific dehydration-rehydration of citrate to isocitrate in the Krebs cycle. It has been proposed that the [4Fe-4S](2+) aconitase is oxidized by superoxide, generating the inactive [3Fe-4S](1+) aconitase. In this reaction, the likely products are iron(II) and hydrogen peroxide. Consequently, the inactivation of m-aconitase by superoxide may increase the formation of hydroxyl radical ((*)OH) through the Fenton reaction in mitochondria. In this work, evidence for the generation of (*)OH from the reaction of m-aconitase with superoxide is provided using ESR spin trapping experiments with 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide and alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone. Formation of free ( small middle dot)OH was verified with the (*)OH scavenger Me(2)SO, which forms methyl radical upon reacting with (*)OH. The addition of Me(2)SO to incubation mixtures containing m-aconitase and xanthine/xanthine oxidase yielded methyl radical, which was detected by ESR spin trapping. Methyl radical formation was further confirmed using [(13)C]Me(2)SO. Parallel low temperature ESR experiments demonstrated that the generation of the [3Fe-4S](1+) cluster increased with increasing additions of superoxide to m-aconitase. This reaction was reversible, as >90% of the initial aconitase activity was recovered upon treatment with glutathione and iron(II). This mechanism presents a scenario in which (*)OH may be continuously generated in the mitochondria.  相似文献
