4-(4-Phenoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid derivatives (PBADs) were found to inhibit rat and human alpha-reductase isozymes 1 and 2 in vitro. Chemiluminescence (CL), electron spin resonance, spin trapping techniques, and spectrophotometry were used to examine the effect of PBADs on reactive oxygen species (superoxide radical, O(2)(.-); hydroxyl radical, HO(*); singlet oxygen, (1)O(2)) generating systems. All test compounds at a concentration of 0.5 mM enhanced the CL from O(2)(.-) up to fivefold, which was recorded as the light sums during 1 min. At 0.38 mM PBAD enhanced production of HO(*) from H(2)O(2) in the presence of Co(II) up to 90%, as measured by a deoxyribose assay. Using the spin trap agent 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide, it was found that the amplitude of the signal arising from the Fenton-like reaction [Co(II)/H(2)O(2)] was significantly diminished by the test compounds. The compounds also inhibited the (1)O(2) dependent 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxide radical, which is generated in the acetonitrile/H(2)O(2) system. The measured rate constants of (1)O(2)-dimol quenching by PBAD were in the range of (0.8-2.6) x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1). The interaction between PBAD and (1)O(2) was also checked using a spectrophotometry method based on bleaching of p-nitrosodimethylaniline. These results indicate that PBAD may directly scavenge HO(*) and (1)O(2), but not O(2)(.-). However, the compounds that were examined had prooxidant ability under some reaction conditions. 相似文献

We designed and synthesized 2-[6-(4'-hydroxy)phenoxy-3H-xanthen-3-on-9-yl]benzoic acid (HPF) and 2- [6-(4'-amino)phenoxy-3H-xanthen-3-on-9-yl]benzoic acid (APF) as novel fluorescence probes to detect selectively highly reactive oxygen species (hROS) such as hydroxyl radical (*OH) and reactive intermediates of peroxidase. Although HPF and APF themselves scarcely fluoresced, APF selectively and dose-dependently afforded a strongly fluorescent compound, fluorescein, upon reaction with hROS and hypochlorite ((-)OCl), but not other reactive oxygen species (ROS). HPF similarly afforded fluorescein upon reaction with hROS only. Therefore, not only can hROS be differentiated from hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), nitric oxide (NO), and superoxide (O2*-) by using HPF or APF alone, but (-)OCl can also be specifically detected by using HPF and APF together. Furthermore, we applied HPF and APF to living cells and found that HPF and APF were resistant to light-induced autoxidation, unlike 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein, and for the first time we could visualize (-)OCl generated in stimulated neutrophils. HPF and APF should be useful as tools to study the roles of hROS and (-)OCl in many biological and chemical applications. 相似文献

The time-resolved chemiluminescence (CL) method has been applied to study the TiO(2) photocatalytic reaction on a micros-ms timescale. The experimental set-up for time-resolved CL was improved for confirmation of the unique luminol CL induced by the photocatalytic reaction. The third harmonic light (355 nm) from an Nd:YAG laser was used for the light source of the TiO(2) photocatalytic reaction. Luminol CL induced by this reaction was detected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT) and a preamplifier was used for amplifying the CL signal. Experimental conditions affecting the photocatalytically induced CL were discussed in detail. The involvement of active oxygen species such as .OH, O(2) (.-) and H(2)O(2) in the CL was examined by adding their scavengers. It is concluded that .OH was greatly involved in the CL on a micros-ms timescale, especially in time periods <100 micros after illumination of the pulse laser. On the other hand, CL generated by O(2) (.-) began to increase after 100 micros and became dominant after 2.5 ms. A small part of the CL might be generated by H(2)O(2) on the whole micros-ms timescale. A CL reaction mechanism related with .OH and dissolved oxygen was proposed to explain the photocatalytically induced luminol CL on a micros-ms timescale, especially in periods <100 micros. 相似文献

In this work, a novel chemiluminescence (CL) flow biosensor for glucose was proposed. Glucose oxidase (GOD), horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and gold nanoparticles were immobilized with sol-gel method on the inside surface of the CL flow cell. The CL detection involved enzymatic oxidation of glucose to d-gluconic acid and H(2)O(2), and then the generated H(2)O(2) oxidizing luminol to produce CL emission in the presence of HRP. It was found that gold nanoparticles could remarkably enhance the CL respond of the glucose biosensor. The enhanced effect was closely related to the sizes of gold colloids, and the smaller the size of gold colloids had the higher CL respond. The immobilization condition and the CL condition were studied in detail. The CL emission intensity was linear with glucose concentration in the range of 1.0 x 10(-5)molL(-1) to 1.0 x 10(-3)molL(-1), and the detection limit was 5 x 10(-6)molL(-1) (3sigma). The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant of GOD in gold nanoparticles/sol-gel matrix was evaluated to be 0.3mmolL(-1), which was smaller than that of GOD immobilized in sol-gel matrix without gold nanoparticles. The proposed biosensor exhibited short response time, easy operation, low cost and simple assembly, and the proposed biosensor was successfully applied to the determination of glucose in human serum. 相似文献

Two chemiluminescence approaches have been used for study of active oxygen species produced by the TiO2 photocatalytic reaction. One is based on flow injection analysis (FIA)-luminol chemiluminescence (CL); another is a time-resolved CL method. In the FIA-CL experiment, an UV-illuminated TiO2 suspension and water were passed into a mixing cell by two separate flow lines. Luminol solution was injected into the water flow line at different times. The injected luminol reacted with active oxygen species generated by the TiO2 photocatalytic reaction in a mixing coil and produced CL. It was found that the maximum CL was detected at the first injection of luminol. CL intensity decreased with time of injection. When the luminol was injected after 5 min, the CL intensity was almost unchanged. Addition of scavengers of active oxygen species indicated that the CL produced early in the 5 min was caused by O2- and H2O2, while CL after 5 min was only from H2O2. In the time-resolved CL, the third harmonic wavelength of Nd:YAG laser (355 nm) was used as a UV light source, and CL was detected by a PMT and recorded in a millisecond time scale using a digital oscilloscope. It was found that CL induced by the photocatalytic reaction increased with concentration of the TiO2 suspension. Scavengers of active oxygen species of *OH, O2- and H2O2 were added to study the involvement of the active oxygen species. 相似文献

The means by which neutrophils within the body ward off infectious and neoplastic processes by the activation of molecular oxygen, as well as how such mechanisms dysfunction, is the subject of extensive ongoing research. Most previous studies of neutrophil activation indicate that there is a transient production of reactive oxygen species. Luminol-amplified chemiluminescence surveillance of O2-. and H2O2 supported these general findings. Yet, recent studies showed that production of reactive oxygen species by PMA-stimulated neutrophils is not transient but persistent; however, luminol-dependent methods do not corroborate such findings. The kinetics of O2-. production by human neutrophils were studied using luminol-amplified chemiluminescence (CL), spin trapping combined with electron spin resonance detection, and ferricytochrome c reduction. The effects of pH and O2 level on luminol-amplified CL were determined using hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase to produce O2-. and H2O2 in cell-free systems. As we have found by electron spin resonance and ferricytochrome c reduction, stimulated neutrophils continued to generate O2-. for several hours, yet when luminol-amplified CL was used to continuously follow radical production, CL was shortly lost. Similar loss of CL was observed with continuous enzymatic formation of O2-. and H2O2. The failure of the CL assay to report O2-. and H2O2 formation results from some luminol reaction product which interferes with the light reaction. Our results show that the cells are operative for long periods indicating that cell exposure to prolonged O2-. fluxes does not terminate radical production, and even when pH, [O2], and reagents are optimized, the use of luminol-amplified CL is not a valid assay for continuous monitoring of O2-. and H2O2 generated by either stimulated neutrophils or in cell-free systems. 相似文献

In this work, chemiluminescence (CL) method was combined with microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) to establish a novel CL μPAD biosensor for the first time. This novel CL μPAD biosensor was based on enzyme reaction which produced H(2)O(2) while decomposing the substrate and the CL reaction between rhodanine derivative and generated H(2)O(2) in acid medium. Microchannels in μPAD were fabricated by cutting method. And the possible CL assay principle of this CL μPAD biosensor was explained. Rhodanine derivative system was used to reach the purpose of high sensitivity and well-defined signal for this CL μPAD biosensor. And the optimum reaction conditions were investigated. The quantitative determination of uric acid could be achieved by this CL μPAD biosensor with accurate and satisfactory result. And this biosensor could provide good reproducible results upon storage at 4°C for at least 10 weeks. The successful integration of μPAD and CL reaction made the final biosensor inexpensive, easy-to-use, low-volume, and portable for uric acid determination, which also greatly reduces the cost and increases the efficiency required for an analysis. We believe this simple, practical CL μPAD biosensor will be of interest for use in areas such as disease diagnosis. 相似文献

We elucidated the cytoprotective effects of hyperoside (quercetin-3-O-galactoside) against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cell damage. We found that hyperoside scavenged the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) detected by fluorescence spectrometry, flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy. In addition, we found that hyperoside scavenged the hydroxyl radicals generated by the Fenton reaction (FeSO4)+H2O2) in a cell-free system, which was detected by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry. Hyperoside was found to inhibit H2O2-induced apoptosis in Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79-4) cells, as shown by decreased apoptotic nuclear fragmentation, decreased sub-G(1) cell population, and decreased DNA fragmentation. In addition, hyperoside pretreatment inhibited the H2O2-induced activation of caspase-3 measured in terms of levels of cleaved caspase-3. Hyperoside prevented H2O2-induced lipid peroxidation as well as protein carbonyl. In addition, hyperoside prevented the H2O2-induced cellular DNA damage, which was established by comet tail, and phospho histone H2A.X expression. Furthermore, hyperoside increased the catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities. Conversely, the catalase inhibitor abolished the cytoprotective effect of hyperoside from H2O2-induced cell damage. In conclusion, hyperoside was shown to possess cytoprotective properties against oxidative stress by scavenging intracellular ROS and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity. 相似文献

Microcalorimetry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have been used to conduct a thermodynamic investigation of reactions catalyzed by PABA synthase, the enzyme located at the first step in the shikimic acid metabolic pathway leading from chorismate to 4-aminobenzoate (PABA). The overall biochemical reaction catalyzed by the PabB and PabC components of PABA synthase is: chorismate(aq)+ammonia(aq)=4-aminobenzoate(aq)+pyruvate(aq)+H(2)O(l). This reaction can be divided into two partial reactions involving the intermediate 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate (ADC): chorismate(aq)+ammonia(aq)=ADC(aq)+H(2)O(l) and ADC(aq)=4-aminobenzoate(aq)+pyruvate(aq). Microcalorimetric measurements were performed on all three of these reactions at a temperature of 298.15 K and pH values in the range 8.72-8.77. Equilibrium measurements were performed on the first partial (ADC synthase) reaction at T=298.15 K and at pH=8.78. The saturation molality of 4-aminobenzoate(cr) in water is (0.00382+/-0.0004) mol kg(-1) at T=298.15 K. The results of the equilibrium and calorimetric measurements were analyzed in terms of a chemical equilibrium model that accounts for the multiplicity of ionic states of the reactants and products. These calculations gave thermodynamic quantities at the temperature 298.15 K and an ionic strength of zero for chemical reference reactions involving specific ionic forms. For the reaction: chorismate(2-)(aq)+NH(4)(+)(aq)=ADC(-)(aq)+H(2)O(l), K=(10.8+/-4.2) and Delta(r)H(m)(o)=-(35+/-15) kJ mol(-1). For the reaction: ADC(-)(aq)=4-aminobenzoate(-)(aq)+pyruvate(-)(aq)+H(+)(aq), Delta(r)H(m)(o)=-(139+/-23) kJ mol(-1). For the reaction: chorismate(2-)(aq)+NH(4)(+)(aq)=4-aminobenzoate(-)(aq)+pyruvate(-)(aq)+H(2)O(l)+H(+)(aq), Delta(r)H(m)(o)=-(174+/-6) kJ mol(-1). Thermodynamic cycle calculations were used to calculate thermodynamic quantities for three additional reactions that utilize L-glutamine rather than ammonia and that are pertinent to this branch point of the shikimic acid pathway. The quantities obtained in this study permit the calculation of the position of equilibrium of these reactions as a function of temperature, pH, and ionic strength. Values of the apparent equilibrium constants and the standard transformed Gibbs energy changes Delta(r)G'(m)(o) under approximately physiological conditions are given. 相似文献

A highly sensitive flow-injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) method has been developed for the determination of dihydroxybenzene, based on the hydroxyl radical reaction. Hydroxyl radical (.OH) produced by the reaction of Fe(3+) and H(2)O(2) oxidize rhodamine 6G to produce weak CL. It was observed that catechol and hydroquinone greatly enhanced the weak CL reaction. However, the proposed CL system is not suitable for determination of resorcinol because the enhancement reaction is very slow. The proposed procedure has a linear range of 0.01-2 mg/L for catechol, with a detection limit of 0.006 mg/L, and 0.008-1 mg/L for hydroquinone, with a detection limit of 0.004 mg/L. The possible mechanism of the CL system is discussed. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species produced by activated neutrophils and monocytes are thought to be involved in mediating the loss of collagen and other matrix proteins at sites of inflammation. To evaluate their potential to oxidize the pyridinoline (Pyd) cross-links found in collagen types I and II, we reacted hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite (HOCl/OCl(-)), and singlet oxygen (O(2)((1)delta g)) with the Pyd substitutes, pyridoxamine dihydrochloride and vitamin B(6), which share the same chemical structure and spectral properties of Pyd cross-links. Neither H(2)O(2) (125-500 microm) nor O(2)((1)delta g) (10-25 microm) significantly changed the spectral properties of pyridoxamine or vitamin B(6). Reaction of HOCl/OCl(-) (12.5-50 microm) with pyridoxamine at pH 7.2 resulted in a concentration-dependent appearance of two new absorbance peaks and a decrease in fluorescence at 400 nm (excitation 325 nm). The new absorbance peaks correlated with the formation of an N-chloramine and the product of its subsequent reaction with pyridoxamine. In contrast, the extent to which HOCl reacted with vitamin B(6), which lacks a primary amine group, was variable at this pH. At lysosomal pH 5.5, Cl(2)/HOCl/OCl(-) reacted with both pyridoxamine and vitamin B(6). Four of the chlorinated products of this reaction were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and included 3-chloropyridinium, an aldehyde, and several chlorinated products with disrupted rings. To evaluate the effects of Cl(2)/HOCl/OCl(-) on Pyd cross-links in collagen, we exposed bone collagen type I and articular cartilage type II to HOCl. Treatment of either collagen type with HOCl at pH 5. 0 or 7.2 resulted in the oxidation of amine groups and, for collagen type II, the specific decrease in Pyd cross-link fluorescence, suggesting that during inflammation both oxidations may be used by neutrophils and monocytes to promote the loss of matrix integrity. 相似文献

Interest in the fabrication of micro/nanoreactors for evaluation of the function of biomolecules in biological processes, enzymatic reaction kinetics occurring inside the nanospace is rapidly increasing. With a simple reverse-micelle microemulsion method, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a model biomolecule, was herein skillfully confined in silica nanoshells (HRP@SiO(2)) and its biocatalytical behaviors were investigated in detail. Spectroscopic measurements showed that the entrapped HRP molecules retained their native structure and had high enzymatic activity toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with Michaelis constant (K(m)) of 3.02 × 10(-5) mol L(-1). The entrapped HRP displayed a good direct electron transfer behavior and sensitive electrocatalytic response toward the reduction of H(2)O(2), which could be enhanced using thionine and o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) as electron mediators. When using thionine as mediator, the mass transport between the substrates in electrolyte and HRP confined in silica nanospheres through the mesoporous tunnels was slower than that of o-PD, which slowed down the electron transfer between heme in HRP in the confined nanospace and the electrode, and resulted in low sensitivity to H(2)O(2) with thionine as mediator when compared to o-PD. 相似文献

At the concentrations usually employed as a Ca2+ indicator, arsenazo III underwent a one-electron reduction by rat liver mitochondria to produce an azo anion radical as demonstrated by electron-spin resonance spectroscopy. Either NADH or NADPH could serve as a source of reducing equivalents for the production of this free radical by intact rat liver mitochondria. Under aerobic conditions, addition of arsenazo III to rat liver mitochondria produced an increase in electron flow from NAD(P)H to molecular oxygen, generating superoxide anion. NAD(P)H generated from endogenous mitochondrial NAD(P)+ by intramitochondrial reactions could not be used for the NAD(P)H azoreductase reaction unless the mitochondria were solubilized by detergent or anaerobiosis. In addition, NAD(P)H azoreductase activity was higher in the crude outer mitochondrial membrane fraction than in mitoplasts and intact mitochondria. The steady-state concentration of the azo anion radical and the arsenazo III-stimulated cyanide-insensitive oxygen consumption were enhanced by calcium and magnesium, suggesting that, in addition to an enhanced azo anion radical-stabilization by complexation with the metal ions, enhanced reduction of arsenazo III also occurred. Accordingly, addition of cations to crude outer mitochondrial membrane preparations increased arsenazo III-stimulated cyanide-insensitive O2 consumption, H2O2 formation, and NAD(P)H oxidation. Antipyrylazo III was much less effective than arsenazo III in increasing superoxide anion formation by rat liver mitochondria and gave a much weaker electron spin resonance spectrum of an azo anion radical. These results provide direct evidence of an azoreductase activity associated with the outer mitochondrial membrane and of a stimulation of arsenazo III reduction by cations. 相似文献

An H2O2-generating fraction was prepared from porcine thyroid homogenate by differential and Percoll-density gradient centrifugations. The fraction consisted of mainly fragmented plasma membranes as judged by marker enzyme analysis and electron microscopy. The fraction produced H2O2 by reaction with NADPH only in the presence of Ca2+. The Ca2+ concentration for half-maximal activation (KCa) was about 0.1 microM and the Hill coefficient was 2. Sr2+ also activated the reaction whereas Mn2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ inhibited it. The reaction was enhanced about twice by addition of ATP but not ADP, and inhibited by addition of hexokinase together with glucose to remove ATP. The Km value for NADPH was 35 microM and was less than 1/12 that for NADH. The NADPH oxidation rate was measured and the KCa and the Km were similar to those for the H2O2 production. The stoichiometry between the oxidation and the H2O2 formation was essentially 1. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and KCN did not affect H2O2 production. The fraction catalyzed NADPH-cytochrome c reduction but the activity was SOD-insensitive. These results suggest that H2O2 was not generated through superoxide anion formation. NADPH-dichloroindophenol (DCIP) reductase activity was also observed and DCIP inhibited the production of H2O2. The cytochrome c and DCIP reductase activities were not influenced by Ca2+ or ATP. A unique electron transport system regulated by Ca2+ and ATP exists in the thyroid plasma membrane that produces H2O2. The concentrations of Ca2+ and ATP in thyroid cells may regulate hormone synthesis through activation of the production of H2O2, a substrate for peroxidase. 相似文献

The increased production of NO during the early stages of apoptosis indicates its potential involvement in the regulation of programmed cell death through yet to be identified mechanisms. Recently, an important role for catalytically competent peroxidase form of pentacoordinate cytochrome c (cyt c) in a complex with a mitochondria-specific phospholipid, cardiolipin (CL), has been demonstrated during execution of the apoptotic program. Because the cyt c.CL complex acts as CL oxygenase and selectively oxidizes CL in apoptotic cells in a reaction dependent on the generation of protein-derived (tyrosyl) radicals, we hypothesized that binding and nitrosylation of cyt c regulates CL oxidation. Here we demonstrate by low temperature electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy that CL facilitated interactions of ferro- and ferri-states of cyt c with NO and NO(-), respectively, to yield a mixture of penta- and hexa-coordinate nitrosylated cyt c. In the nitrosylated cyt c.CL complex, NO chemically reacted with H(2)O(2)-activated peroxidase intermediates resulting in their reduction. A dose-dependent quenching of H(2)O(2)-induced protein-derived radicals by NO donors was shown using direct electron paramagnetic resonance measurements as well as immuno-spin trapping with antibodies against protein 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide-nitrone adducts. In the presence of NO donors, H(2)O(2)-induced oligomeric forms of cyt c positively stained for 3-nitrotyrosine confirming the reactivity of NO toward tyrosyl radicals of cyt c. Interaction of NO with the cyt c.CL complex inhibited its peroxidase activity with three different substrates: CL, etoposide, and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine. Given the importance of CL oxidation in apoptosis, mass spectrometry analysis was utilized to assess the effects of NO on oxidation of 1,1'2,2'-tertalinoleoyl cardiolipin. NO effectively inhibited 1,1'2,2'-tertalinoleoyl cardiolipin oxidation catalyzed by the peroxidase activity of cyt c. Thus, NO can act as a regulator of peroxidase activity of cyt c.CL complexes. 相似文献

The reactivity of flow-injection (FI)-horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalysed imidazole chemiluminescence (CL) was studied for continuous determination of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and serum glucose with immobilized glucose oxidase. Light emission by the HRP-catalysed imidazole CL was obtained when immobilized HRP, alkaline imidazole (in Tricine solution, pH 9.3) and H(2)O(2) were reacted at room temperature. The optimal pH for the CL reaction was 9.3 and the optimal concentration of imidazole was 100 micromol/L. When no imidazole was added, the light intensity of the same H(2)O(2) specimen decreased to a level that could not be quantitatively determined. The spectrum of the light emitted by imidazole CL was in the range 400-600 nm with a peak at 500 nm. The calibration equation for determination of H(2)O(2) was y = 9860x(2) + 3830x + 11,700, where y = light intensity (RLU) and x = concentration of H(2)O(2) (micromol/L). The detection limit of H(2)O(2) was 5 pmol, and the reproducibility of the H(2)O(2) assay was 2.3% of the coefficient of variation (H(2)O(2) 48 micromol/L, n = 13). The CL method was successfully applied to assay glucose after on-line generation of H(2)O(2) with the immobilized glucose oxidase column, resulting in good reproducibility (CV = 3.3% and 1.0% for the standard glucose and the control serum, respectively). 相似文献

Benzphetamine demethylase and aniline hydroxylase activities were determined with various hemoproteins including indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in a cytochrome P-450-like reconstituted system containing NADPH, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, and O2. The highest specific activities, almost comparable to those of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450, were detected with indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase from the rabbit intestine. The indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-catalyzed benzphetamine demethylation reaction was inhibited by catalase but not by superoxide dismutase. Exogenous H2O2 or organic hydroperoxides was able to replace the reducing system and O2. The stoichiometry of H2O2 added to the product formed was essentially unity. These results indicate that the dioxygenase catalyzes the demethylation reaction by the so-called "peroxygenation" mechanism using H2O2 generated in the reconstituted system. On the other hand, the dioxygenase-catalyzed aniline hydroxylation reaction was not only completely inhibited by catalase but also suppressed by superoxide dismutase by about 60%. Although the O2- and H2O2-generating system (e.g. hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase) was also active as the reducing system, neither exogenous H2O2 nor the generation of O2- in the presence of catalase supported the hydroxylation reaction, indicating that both H2O2 and O2- were essential for the hydroxylation reaction. However, typical scavengers for hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen were not inhibitory. These results suggest that a unique, as yet unidentified active oxygen species generated by H2O2 and O2- participates in the dioxygenase-mediated aniline hydroxylation reaction. 相似文献

Prostaglandin (PG) F(2alpha) is implicated in the process of luteal regression in many species, and has been shown to increase the generation of reactive oxygen species. In this study, the role of reactive oxygen species in the local regulatory mechanisms of functional luteolysis in the ewe was examined. In Experiment 1, we studied local effects of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and its interaction with PGF(2alpha) on P secretion in ovine corpus luteum (CL) in vivo. For this purpose, a microdialysis system (MDS) was used, where only the cells surrounding the capillary membrane in the microenvironment of the CL are exposed to these factors, and the P secretory ability of the CL is maintained as if intact. The study used a multiple CL model to implant the MDS, enabling us to examine in parallel several experimental infusions into the MDS implanted in different CLs (one MDS line per CL) developed after superovulation in one ewe. On Day 8 after GnRH treatment, the MDS were implanted into multiple CL in both ovaries of six ewes. A 4-h infusion with PGF(2alpha) (10(-6)M) at 8-12 h slightly increased P release during infusion, while a 4-h infusion with H(2)O(2) (10(-3)M) at 20-24 h decreased P release at 27-38 h. A pre-infusion with PGF(2alpha) for 4h at 8-12h, followed by infusion of H(2)O(2) at 20-24 h rapidly decreased the P release at 20-40 h (P<0.05); this decrease occurred 7h earlier than in the CL treated with H(2)O(2) alone. In Experiment 2, by utilizing the MDS we also applied free radical scavengers to examine their possible weakening effect on the inhibition of P secretion in the microenvironment within the regressing CL induced by PGF(2alpha) treatment. On Day 8 after estrus, the MDS were implanted into the CL (single CL model, two MDS lines per CL). Infusion of free radical scavengers, superoxide dismutase (SOD;50mg/ml)+catalase (CAT; 10mg/ml), at 0-28 h first increased P release until 12 h (P<0.05), and consequently delayed the decrease in P release until 30 h after administration of PGF(2alpha) i.m. (P<0.05). The present results support the concept that the leading pathway from PGF(2alpha) induces an increase of reactive oxygen species in luteolysis in the ewe. 相似文献

Evidence for the generation of superoxide anion in an enzymatic action of tyrosinase is reported. In the dopatyrosinase reaction, 1 mol of O2 is required for the production of 2 mol of dopaquinone, 1 mol of dopachrome, and 1/4 mol of O2-. Superoxide dismutase and 2-methyl-6-phenyl-3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one (a chemiluminescence probe and O2 trap) do not inhibit the rate of dopachrome formation from dopa in the presence of tyrosinase, indicating that free O2- is not utilized for metabolizing dopa. ESR studies for the accumulation of semiquinone radicals generated from tyrosine and N-acetyltyrosine in the presence of tyrosinase imply that O2- is not generated by the semiquinone + O2 reaction. Since the addition of H2O2 and dopa to tyrosinase promotes the release of O2- and formation of dopachrome, the Cu(II)O2-Cu(I) complex could be formed as a intermediate (an active form of tyrosinase); [Cu(II)]2 + H2O2 in equilibrium Cu(I)O2-Cu(II) + 2H+. 相似文献
