植物对水中菲和芘的吸收

以菲和芘为多环芳烃（PAHs）代表物,采用水培体系研究了黑麦草（Lolium multiflorum Lam）对水中PAHs的吸收作用,重点研究了植物吸收菲和芘的时间动态.水中菲和芘起始浓度分别为1.00mg/L和0.12mg/L.0～288h内,黑麦草根和茎叶中菲和芘含量均先快速增加而后降低,积累量不断增大,植物根系和茎叶富集系数则先快速升高而后趋于稳定.茎叶中菲和芘含量、茎叶对菲和芘的富集系数比根低1～3数量级,积累量也明显小于根系.黑麦草根系对水中芘有更强的富集能力,其根系富集系数比菲大85%～179%;而其茎叶对菲的富集作用则略强.菲和芘在植物体内有明显的传导作用.0～288h,传导系数（TF）先显著升高而后趋于恒定;但实验条件下,菲和芘的TF值均很小,分别不高于0.031和0.009,且芘的TF值明显小于菲,表明供试植物对芘的传导能力更弱.     

菲和芘对土壤中植物根伸长抑制的生态毒性效应

测定了草甸棕壤条件下 ,菲、芘对小麦、白菜、西红柿 3种植物根伸长抑制率 ,以及复合污染毒性效应。结果表明 ,菲、芘浓度与植物根伸长抑制率呈显著线性或对数相关 (P =0 0 5 )。 2种有机物对植物根伸长抑制强度为菲 >芘。这与菲、芘的水中溶解度明显相关。与土壤脱氢酶活性和蚕豆根尖微核实验结果相比 ,植物根伸长对菲、芘毒性更敏感。小麦为有机污染的最敏感指示植物。菲、芘复合污染产生明显协同作用。     

大豆对菲胁迫的生理响应及耐菲机理研究

为了探讨菲胁迫下植物的生理反应及耐受机制,以大豆为供试材料,采用叶片喷施试验,分别从表型、生物量、氧化损伤以及抗氧化酶活性等方面研究不同浓度菲处理对大豆幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:低浓度菲(≤50 μmol/L)能够增加叶片生物量,提高叶绿素及类胡萝卜素含量。同时,幼苗叶片中的丙二醛(Malondialdehyde,MDA)含量、脯氨酸含量,超氧化物歧化酶(Superoxide dismutase,SOD)活性以及过氧化物酶(Peroxidase,POD)的活性明显高于对照组。在高浓度菲(75-100 μmol/L)处理下,MDA含量继续增大,大豆幼苗的生物量、叶绿素含量、渗透胁迫物质含量及SOD活性都受到抑制,而叶片中的类胡萝卜素含量及POD活性较高。以上结果表明,植物通过提高SOD和POD活性,以及类胡萝卜素和渗透胁迫物质含量来减轻叶片施用菲对植物生物量、叶绿素含量及氧化胁迫的影响。此外,POD和类胡萝卜素在高浓度菲胁迫下仍保持较高水平,说明它们在菲胁迫中起到较为稳定的作用。

Anthocyanins,thiols, and antioxidant scavenging enzymes are involved in Lemna gibba tolerance to arsenic

The influence of arsenic (As) on the growth and the antioxidant system of Lemna gibba L. exposed to five concentrations of As (0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mg L^?1) was studied. Although As exposure reduced relative growth rate, L. gibba continued to grow even after the high accumulation of this element after five days of exposure. The concentration of the superoxide anion was unaffected by As, whereas an increase of hydrogen peroxide concentrations was observed with the increasing of As concentration. Increasing concentrations of As also increased the enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and glutathione reductase and the total and nonprotein thiols, up to 0.5 mg L^?1, whereas the anthocyanin content increased constantly with As concentration. Catalase and ascorbate peroxidase activities as well as the content of chloroplastic pigments were reduced in plants exposed to all As concentrations. These results support a major role of anthocyanins, nonprotein thiols, and antioxidant scavenging enzymes in L. gibba tolerance to toxic As concentrations.     

Comparative Sorption of Phenanthrene and Benzo[α]pyrene to Soil Humic Acids

Sorption of phenanthrene (Phen) and benzo[α]pyrene (BaP) by humic acids (HAs) extracted from four typical soils in China, including cinnamon soil, fluvo-aquic soil, red soil, and mountain meadow soil were investigated. All sorption data were fitted well by the Freundlich model, but BaP exhibited stronger and more nonlinear sorption than Phen by a given HA. For Phen isotherms, there was a positive relation between K _oc values and aliphaticity of HAs, whereas a negative correlation was observed between n values and aliphaticity. This indicated the importance of aliphatic groups in Phen sorption capacity and nonlinearity. Compared to Phen, a similar trend was obtained between n values of BaP and aliphaticity or aromatic carbon. However, no correlation existed between K _oc values for BaP and aliphaticity or aromatic carbon.     

Potassium phosphite affects growth,antioxidant enzymes activity and alleviates disease damage in cucumber plants inoculated with Pythium ultimum

In the present study, the impact of potassium phosphite on response of cucumber plants inoculated with Pythium ultimum var. ultimum was assessed. Variations in the accumulation of both antioxidant enzymes and growth parameters were investigated. The results revealed that fresh and dry weights of shoot and root exhibited up to 2 fold increase in potassium phosphite-treated plants. The concentrations of peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase were significantly higher in the plants treated with 4 g L^?1 of potassium phosphite compared to other treatments, at 48 h after inoculation. It was demonstrated that both 2 and 4 g L^?1 treatments could alleviate the disease damage to a high extent, while control plants were severely damaged by the pathogen. The results of this study suggest that the increased induction of antioxidant enzymes (2.2, 2.8 and 4 fold increase for superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase, respectively) might have alleviated damping-off symptoms leading to increased plant growth and yield.

Antitumour activity of crocetin in accordance to tumor incidence, antioxidant status, drug metabolizing enzymes and histopathological studies

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide. Crocetin, saffron plant derivative known to play a role in cancer chemoprevention. In the present study the effects of crocetin was tested against lung cancer-bearing mice in both pre-initiation and post-initiation periods. Healthy male Swiss albino mice (6–8 weeks old) were used throughout the study. Experiment was designed with the treatment regimen of crocetin [20 mg/kg body weight dissolved in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)] for 4 weeks before (pre-initiation) and from 12^th week after Benzo(a) pyrene B(a)p (50 mg/kg body weight) induced lung carcinoma(post-initation). The level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and marker enzymes markedly increased in carcinogen administered animals, which was brought back to near normal by crocetin treatment. The activities of the enzymic antioxidants and glutathione metabolizing enzymes were decreased in B(a)p induced animals and increased upon drug treatment. Crocetin profoundly reverted back the pathological changes observed in cancerous animals. From the results crocetin proves to scavenge free radical and plays an important role in cellular function. Tumor incidence and histopathological studies proves crocetin is a potent antitumour agent.     

Modulations in antioxidant enzymes in different tissues of marine bivalvePerna viridis during heavy metal exposure

Lipid peroxidation induced by metals at sub-lethal levels, alter physiological and biochemical characteristics of biological systems. To counter the detrimental effects of the prooxidant activity of metals, a group of antioxidant enzyme systems function in the organisms. The present study was performed to investigate into the lipid peroxidation product formation due to the exposure to effects of the metals namely aluminium, lead and cadmium at sub-lethal concentrations and the biological response through protective antioxidant enzyme activity in the marine mussels,Perna viridis Lin. This organism is a known bioindicator and bioconcentrator of metals in the environment.The results of the present study were: (a) accumulation of lead showed a definite linear increase during the period of exposure whereas aluminium and cadmium showed fluctuations. Mantle and gill tissues showed greater accumulation of metals when compared to digestive gland; (b) lead and aluminium induced lipid peroxidation was greater in tissues than the peroxidation induced by cadmium. Cadmium induced peroxidation was observed only after the day 7 of the exposure; (c) anti-oxidant enzymes activity levels were significantly higher in digestive gland and mantle than gills; (d) mantle was observed to significantly contribute to the organismal response to lipid peroxidation as indicated by high activity levels of anti-oxidant enzymes.     

In vitro modulation of antioxidant enzymes in normal and malignant renal epithelium

Summary The activities of three antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, were monitored in isolated human renal adenocarcinoma tissues and in cultured human renal adenocarcinoma cells. The results were compared to the activities of these enzymes in the proposed cell of origin, isolated human proximal tubular tissues, and cultured proximal tubular epithelial cells. Strong modulation of these enzymes by culture conditions was observed in normal cells but not in carcinoma cells. Low levels of cellular lipid peroxidation, as assessed by levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), were observed in adenocarcinoma cells under the culture conditions tested with one exception: greatly elevated MDA was observed in renal adenocarcinoma cells growth on plastic in serum-free, chemically defined medium. This increased lipid peroxidation correlated with a loss of cell viability under these conditions. This work was supported by a grant from the Veterans Adminsitration (T. D. O.) and by grant 1 R01 CA 41267 from the National Institutes of Health (L. W. O.), Bethesda, MD.     

Effects of nitrogen on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and gene expression in leaves of Populus plants subjected to cadmium stress

The research aimed to verify the important physiological effect of nitrogen (N) on plants exposed to cadmium (Cd). The poplar plants were grown in a Hoagland nutrient solution and treated with extra N, Cd, and N + Cd. After treatment, plant growth and chlorophyll content were recorded. The oxidative stress, the activity of antioxidant enzymes, and the expression of related genes were also examined. The results indicated the plants treated with sole Cd presented obvious toxicity symptoms, i.e. growth inhibition, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and chlorophyll content decrement. However, when N was added to the plants under Cd stress, plant growth was enhanced, chlorophyll synthesis was promoted, and the oxidative stress was alleviated. Further, the expression of antioxidant enzymes genes was upregulated by N. The results indicated that N partially reversed the toxic effect of Cd on poplar plants, which can provide new methodology to enhance the phytoremediation technology for heavy metal pollution soil.     

外来入侵种飞机草在不同环境胁迫下抗氧化酶系统的变化

飞机草（Eupatorium odoratum）原产于中南美洲,在我国最早发现于1934年,目前已经分布到云南、海南、台湾、广东等省区,是一种典型的外来入侵种。研究其在逆境条件下的生理适应机制对于有效治理该入侵种具有十分重要的意义。研究了其在不同环境胁迫条件（高温、低温和干旱）下抗氧化酶系统的变化。结果表明：超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（APX）和脱氢抗血酸还原酶（DHAR）在3种环境胁迫下酶活性都升高;过氧化氢酶（CAT）在高温胁迫下升高,而在低温和干旱胁迫下酶活性降低;过氧化物酶（POD）和单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶（MDAR）在高温和干旱胁迫下酶活性升高,而在低温胁迫下酶活性降低;谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）在高温和干旱胁迫下酶活性升高,而在低温胁迫下保持不变。这些研究结果可能有助于寻找到一条控制飞机草的新途径。     

Comparison of antioxidant enzymes in saliva of elderly smokers and non-smokers

Objectives: This study was designed to compare the levels of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD), peroxidase (POx) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px) in saliva of smokers and those in saliva of non‐smokers. Methods: Unstimulated saliva samples were collected from 88 elderly males (65 years old or over) who visited a private dental clinic. Forty‐four subjects were current smokers (more than 20 cigarettes daily for at least 30 years) and 44 were non‐smokers. The levels of salivary thiocyanate, Cu/Zn SOD, GSH‐Px, and POx activity were measured using standard procedures. Results: The mean levels of salivary thiocyanate (SCN^?) and SOD were significantly higher (p < 0.01) in the smoking group than in the non‐smoking group, whereas the specific activity levels of POx and GSH‐Px were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the non‐smoking group than in the smoking group. Significant correlation coefficients were found between the levels of SCN^? and SOD (r = 0.37, p < 0.001). In the non‐smoking group, a significant positive association was found between specific activity of POx and age (r = 0.33, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Measurement of SCN^? and Cu/Zn SOD in human saliva might be useful for estimating the level of oxidative stress caused by cigarette smoke. Despite increased H₂O₂ level as a defense system induced by SOD, detoxification of H₂O₂ might be deteriorated in the oral cavity of elderly smokers.
