The fatty acid composition of phospholipids of subcellular fractions that are both generators and consumers of energy, mitochondria,
synaptosomes, and myelin, has been studied in the brain and liver of several representatives of poikilothermal and homoiothermal
vertebrates. The terrestrial poikilothermal animals have been shown to be close to homoiothermal animals by the main characteristics
of membranes of the subcellular fractions, such as the content of saturated acids, the unsaturation index, and the ω3/ω6 acid
ratio, but differ essentially from aquatic poikilotherms. The conclusion is made that the similarity in the fatty acid characteristics
of the terrestrial poikilothermal and homoiothermal vertebrate membranes is due to their inhabitation in the oxygen-rich environment,
while differences in intensity of the oxygen consumption are due to their different body temperatures. The models of structure
of an arbitrary fragment of the lipid component of the studied trout membranes are presented, which illustrate a concept of
a new functional role of fatty acids as participants of the electron transfer chain in the membrane. 相似文献

Peroxisomes are cell organelles that play a central role in lipid metabolism. At the same time, these organelles generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as byproducts. Peroxisomes also possess intricate protective mechanisms to counteract oxidative stress and maintain redox balance. An imbalance between peroxisomal reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species production and removal may possibly damage biomolecules, perturb cellular thiol levels, and deregulate cellular signaling pathways implicated in a variety of human diseases. Somewhat surprisingly, the potential role of peroxisomes in cellular redox metabolism has been underestimated for a long time. However, in recent years, peroxisomal reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species metabolism and signaling have become the focus of a rapidly evolving and multidisciplinary research field with great prospects. This review is mainly devoted to discuss evidence supporting the notion that peroxisomal metabolism and oxidative stress are intimately interconnected and associated with age-related diseases. We focus on several key aspects of how peroxisomes contribute to cellular reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species levels in mammalian cells and how these cells cope with peroxisome-derived oxidative stress. We also provide a brief overview of recent strategies that have been successfully employed to detect and modulate the peroxisomal redox status. Finally, we highlight some gaps in our knowledge and propose potential avenues for further research. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Metabolic Functions and Biogenesis of peroxisomes in Health and Disease. 相似文献

Oxidative stress in mammalian cells is an inevitable consequence of their aerobic metabolism. The production of reactive oxygen and nitric oxide species causes oxidative modifications of proteins often combined with a loss of their biological function. Like most partially denatured proteins, moderately oxidized proteins are more sensitive to proteolytic attack by proteases. The diverse cellular proteolytic systems are an important secondary defense against oxidative stress by degrading oxidized and damaged proteins, thereby preventing their intracellular accumulation. In mammalian cells, a range of proteases exists which are distributed throughout the cell. In this review we summarize the function of the cytosolic (proteasome and calpains), the lysosomal, the mitochondrial and the nuclear proteolytic pathways in response to oxidative stress. Particular emphasis is given to the proteasomal system, since this pathway appears to be the most important proteolytic system involved in the removal of oxidatively modified or damaged proteins. 相似文献

Effect of the bacterial DNA gyrase inhibitors, novobiocin, nalidixic acid, and oxolinic acid, on oxidative phosphorylation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
When incubated with isolated intact rat liver mitochondria, novobiocin and nalidixic acid act as uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation; they stimulate oxygen uptake and inhibit ATP synthesis. Novobiocin is about as powerful an uncoupler as is 2,4-dinitrophenol, nalidixic acid is somewhat less powerful, and oxolinic acid exerts no inhibition whatsoever at the concentrations used. The three inhibitors are without effect on oxidative phosphorylation in Escherichia coli nor does novobiocin affect this process in a novobiocin-permeable mutant of yeast. While it would appear that oxolinic acid may be a relatively specific tool for the manipulation of the superhelicity of DNA in complex systems such as mammalian mitochondria and intact mammalian cells, the specificity of each of these inhibitors may depend upon the particular conditions and species used and such experiments require adequate controls on oxidative phosphorylation. 相似文献

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Tat protein transduction domain (PTD) is responsible for highly efficient protein transduction across plasma membranes. In a previous study, we showed that Tat-Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Tat-SOD) can be directly transduced into mammalian cells across the lipid membrane barrier. In this study, we fused the human SOD gene with a Tat PTD transduction vector at its N- and/or C-terminus. The fusion proteins (Tat-SOD, SOD-Tat, Tat-SOD-Tat) were purified from Escherichia coli and their ability to enter cells in vitro and in vivo compared by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The transduction efficiencies and biological activities of the SOD fusion protein with the Tat PTD at either terminus were equivalent and lower than the fusion protein with the Tat PTD at both termini. The availability of a more efficient SOD fusion protein provides a powerful vehicle for therapy in human diseases related to this anti-oxidant enzyme and to reactive oxygen species. 相似文献

Reproduction in vertebrates is an energy-demanding process that is mediated by endogenous hormones and potentially results in oxidative stress. The primary aim of this study was to quantify the relationship between oxidative stress parameters (antioxidant capacity and levels of reactive oxygen metabolites) and circulating testosterone and cortisol in a common and widespread teleost fish, the brown trout (Salmo trutta, L.). Results show that trout with higher testosterone levels prior to spawning have higher levels of oxidative damage at the time that they spawn (although by the time of spawning testosterone levels had dropped, leading to a negative relationship between testosterone and oxidative damage at that time). Cortisol levels were not directly related to oxidative damage or antioxidant capacity, but concentrations of this hormone were positively related to levels of fungal infection, which was itself associated both with lower antioxidant capacity and lower levels of oxidative damage. These results highlight the complexity of interactions between different components of the endocrine system and metabolism and suggest that caution be used in interpreting relationships between a single hormone and indicators of oxidative balance or other fitness proxies. 相似文献

PPARgamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a potent stimulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration. Since the mitochondrial electron transport chain is the main producer of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in most cells, we examined the effect of PGC-1alpha on the metabolism of ROS. PGC-1alpha is coinduced with several key ROS-detoxifying enzymes upon treatment of cells with an oxidative stressor; studies with RNAi or null cells indicate that PGC-1alpha is required for the induction of many ROS-detoxifying enzymes, including GPx1 and SOD2. PGC-1alpha null mice are much more sensitive to the neurodegenerative effects of MPTP and kainic acid, oxidative stressors affecting the substantia nigra and hippocampus, respectively. Increasing PGC-1alpha levels dramatically protects neural cells in culture from oxidative-stressor-mediated death. These studies reveal that PGC-1alpha is a broad and powerful regulator of ROS metabolism, providing a potential target for the therapeutic manipulation of these important endogenous toxins. 相似文献

Plasmalogens are a group of lipids mainly found in the cell membranes. They occur in anaerobic bacteria and in some protozoa, invertebrates and vertebrates, including humans. Their occurrence in plants and fungi is controversial. They can protect cells from damage by reactive oxygen species, protect other phospholipids or lipoprotein particles against oxidative stress, and have been implicated as signaling molecules and modulators of membrane dynamics. Biosynthesis in anaerobic and aerobic organisms occurs by different pathways, and the main biosynthetic pathway in anaerobic bacteria was clarified only this year (2021). Many different analytical techniques have been used for plasmalogen analysis, some of which are detailed below. These can be divided into two groups: shotgun lipidomics, or electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in combination with high performance liquid chromatography (LC-MS). The advantages and limitations of both techniques are discussed here, using examples from anaerobic bacteria to specialized mammalian (human) organs. 相似文献

Studies on the relationship between oxidative stress and ageing in different vertebrate species and in calorie-restricted animals are reviewed. Endogenous antioxidants inversely correlate with maximum longevity in animal species and experiments modifying levels of these antioxidants can increase survival and mean life span but not maximum life span (MLSP). The available evidence shows that long-living vertebrates consistently have low rates of mitochondrial free radical generation, as well as a low grade of fatty acid unsaturation on cellular membranes, which are two crucial factors determining their ageing rate. Oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA is also lower in long-living vertebrates than in short-living vertebrates. Calorie restriction, the best described experimental strategy that consistently increases mean and maximum life span, also decreases mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA. Recent data indicate that the decrease in mitochondrial ROS generation is due to protein restriction rather than to calorie restriction, and more specifically to dietary methionine restriction. Greater longevity would be partly achieved by a low rate of endogenous oxidative damage generation, but also by a macromolecular composition highly resistant to oxidative modification, as is the case for lipids and proteins. 相似文献

Renal medullary tubular cells in the loop of Henle have crucial importance for the regulation of homeostasis of the extracellular fluid. These cells receive limited amount of blood and oxygen, and are also constantly challenged by the hypertonic environment. The medullary tubular cells in the last part of the loop of Henle have one of the highest known contents of mitochondria of all mammalian cells, reflecting their need for oxidative metabolism in order to sustain high ATP production for active transepithelial electrolyte transport. The commonly used diureticum furosemide targets one of the transporters present in these tubular cells with resulting diuresis. Several pathological states are associated with altered function of the medullary tubular cells, and the nephrotoxic substances tacrolimus and cyclosporine act on these cells. The specific Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein is produced by medullary tubular cells. Alteration in the urinary excretion of this protein is used as marker of tubular damage. 相似文献

A growing number of studies describe a connection between glycosphingolipids (GSLs) and glutamine metabolism, glucose metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer cells. Since deregulated cell energy metabolism is one of cancer cells hallmarks, investigating this connection is an important step in the development of anti-cancer therapies. GSL species are often aberrantly regulated in human cancers. They cluster in signaling platforms in the plasma membrane and organelle membranes in so called glycosphingolipid enriched microdomains (GEMs), thereby regulating cell signaling pathways. The most important glutamine transporter for epithelial cells, alanine-serine-cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2) locates in GEMs and is regulated by GEM composition. The accumulation of glucosylceramide and lactosylceramide in mitochondria associated ER membranes (MAMs) leads to increased oxidative phosphorylation. This increases mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and influences mitochondrial dynamics. Here, we review current knowledge about deregulated GSL species in cancer, GSL influence on glutamine and glucose metabolism. In addition, the role of GSLs in MAMs, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and mitochondrial dynamics with a special focus on mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling is discussed. mTOR seems to play a pivotal role in the connection between GSLs and glutamine metabolism as well as in mitochondrial signaling. 相似文献

It is important to regulate the oxygen concentration and scavenge oxygen radicals throughout the life of animals. In mammalian embryos, proper oxygen concentration gradually increases in utero and excessive oxygen is rather toxic during early embryonic development. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products in the respiratory system and increased under inflammatory conditions. In the pathogenesis of a variety of adult human diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders, ROS cause an enhancement of tissue injuries. ROS promote not only the development of atherosclerosis but also tissue injury during the reperfusion process. The thioredoxin (TRX) system is one of the most important mechanisms for regulating the redox balance. TRX is a small redox active protein distributed ubiquitously in various mammalian tissues and cells. TRX acts as not only an antioxidant but also an anti-inflammatory and an antiapoptotic protein. TRX is induced by oxidative stress and released from cells in response to oxidative stress. In various human diseases, the serum/plasma level of TRX is a well-recognized biomarker of oxidative stress. Here we discuss the roles of TRX on oxygen stress and redox regulation from different perspectives, in embryogenesis and in adult diseases focusing on cardiac disorders. 相似文献

Proliferating mammalian cells exhibit a broad spectrum of responses to oxidative stress, depending on the stress level encountered. Very low levels of hydrogen peroxide, e.g., 3 to 15 microM, or 0.1 to 0.5 micromol/10(7) cells, cause a significant mitogenic response, 25% to 45 % growth stimulation. Greater concentrations of H2O2, 120 to 150 microM, or 2 to 5 micromol/10(7) cells, cause a temporary growth arrest that appears to protect cells from excess energy use and DNA damage. After 4-6 h of temporary growth arrest, many cells will exhibit up to a 40-fold transient adaptive response in which genes for oxidant protection and damage repair are preferentially expressed. After 18 h of H2O2 adaptation (including the 4-6 h of temporary growth arrest) cells exhibit maximal protection against oxidative stress. The H2O2 originally added is metabolized within 30-40 min, and if no more is added the cells will gradually de-adapt, so that by 36 h after the initial H2O2 stimulus they have returned to their original level of H2O2 sensitivity. At H2O2 concentrations of 250 to 400 microM, or 9 to 14 micromol/10(7) cells, mammalian fibroblasts are not able to adapt but instead enter a permanently growth-arrested state in which they appear to perform most normal cell functions but never divide again. This state of permanent growth arrest has often been confused with cell death in toxicity studies relying solely on cell proliferation assays as measures of viability. If the oxidative stress level is further increased to 0.5 to 1.0 mM H2O2, or 15 to 30 micromol/10(7) cells, apoptosis results. This oxidative stress-induced apoptosis involves nuclear condensation, loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, degradation/down-regulation of mitochondrial mRNAs and rRNAs, and degradation/laddering of both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. At very high H2O2 concentrations of 5.0 to 10.0 mM, or 150 to 300 micromol/10(7) cells and above, cell membranes disintegrate, proteins and nucleic acids denature, and necrosis swiftly follows. Cultured cells grown in 20% oxygen are essentially preadapted or preselected to survive under conditions of oxidative stress. If cells are instead grown in 3% oxygen, much closer to physiological cellular levels, they are more sensitive to an oxidative challenge but exhibit far less accumulated oxidant damage. This broad spectrum of cellular responses to oxidant stress, depending on the amount of oxidant applied and the concentration of oxygen in the cell culture system, provides for a new paradigm of cellular oxidative stress responses. 相似文献

NADH oxidase of purified plasma membranes (electron transfer from NADH to oxygen) was stimulated by the growth factor diferric transferrin. This stimulation was of an activity not inhibited by cyanide and was not seen in plasma membranes prepared from hyperplastic nodules from liver of animals fed the hepatocarcinogen, 2-acetylaminofluorene, nor was it due to reduction of iron associated with diferric transferrin. With plasma membranes from nodules, the activity was already elevated and the added transferrin was without effect. The stimulation by diferric transferrin did not correlate with the absence of transferrin receptors which were increased at the nodule plasma membranes. With liver plasma membranes, the stimulation by diferric transferrin raised the plasma membrane NADH oxidase specific activity to approximately that of the nodule plasma membranes. In contrast to NADH oxidase, which was markedly stimulated by the diferric transferrin, NADH ferricyanide oxidoreductase or reduction of ferric ammonium citrate by liver plasma membranes was approximately equal to or slightly greater than that of the nodule plasma membrane and unaffected by diferric transferrin. The results suggest the possibility of coupling of NADH oxidase activity to a growth factor response in mammalian cells as observed previously for this enzyme in another system. 相似文献

Certain plant lignans, e.g. secoisolariciresinol and matairesinol, are converted by the intestinal microflora to the mammalian lignans enterodiol and enterolactone, which are associated with beneficial health effects in humans. The metabolism of both mammalian and plant lignans in animals and humans is poorly understood, and most studies so far have focused on the conjugation of these diphenolic compounds. However, recent studies have demonstrated that mammalian and plant lignans are good substrates for cytochrome p450-mediated reactions, leading to numerous products of aliphatic and aromatic hydroxylation with microsomes in vitro. The current knowledge of the oxidative metabolism of food-related lignans is briefly reviewed in this paper, including published as well as unpublished data from our laboratory. Moreover, data on the genotoxic potential of the mammalian and plant lignans, determined at various endpoints in cultured mammalian cells, are included in this review. 相似文献

Rhodopsin forms nanoscale domains (i.e., nanodomains) in rod outer segment disc membranes from mammalian species. It is unclear whether rhodopsin arranges in a similar manner in amphibian species, which are often used as a model system to investigate the function of rhodopsin and the structure of photoreceptor cells. Moreover, since samples are routinely prepared at low temperatures, it is unclear whether lipid phase separation effects in the membrane promote the observed nanodomain organization of rhodopsin from mammalian species. Rod outer segment disc membranes prepared from the cold-blooded frog Xenopus laevis were investigated by atomic force microscopy to visualize the organization of rhodopsin in the absence of lipid phase separation effects. Atomic force microscopy revealed that rhodopsin nanodomains form similarly as that observed previously in mammalian membranes. Formation of nanodomains in ROS disc membranes is independent of lipid phase separation and conserved among vertebrates. 相似文献

Studies with repair-deficient mice and other experiments suggest that oxidative DNA modifications are generated in all types of cells even under physiological conditions and that this type of endogenous DNA damage contributes to spontaneous cancer incidence. However, the cellular sources of reactive oxygen species that are relevant for nuclear oxidative DNA damage are largely unknown. Here, we report that expression of human NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (hOR) in cultured V79 Chinese hamster cells gives rise to elevated basal levels of oxidative purine modifications after depletion of glutathione. Also, the basal levels of micronuclei are increased in the hOR-expressing cells, and again the effect is enhanced when the antioxidant defense system of the cells is diminished by depletion of glutathione. The oxidative DNA damage is increased when duroquinone, a substrate of hOR, is added, both in the presence and absence of glutathione. In contrast, hOR-expressing cells are similarly sensitive as the parental cells when oxidative DNA damage and micronuclei are induced by a mechanism independent of hOR, i.e., exposure to bromate. The results identify hOR as a potential source of endogenous oxidative DNA damage and subsequent genetic instability in mammalian cells. 相似文献

Heat shock may increase oxidative stress due to increased production of reactive oxygen species and/or the promotion of cellular oxidation events. Sensitive to apoptosis gene (SAG) protein, a novel zinc RING finger protein that protects mammalian cells from apoptosis by redox reagents, is a metal chelator and a potential reactive oxygen species scavenger, but its antioxidant properties have not been completely defined. In this report, we demonstrate that modulation of SAG expression in U937 cells regulates heat shock-induced apoptosis. When we examined the protective role of SAG against heat shock-induced apoptosis with U937 cells transfected with the cDNA for SAG, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of SAG expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to apoptosis. We also observed a significant decrease in the endogenous production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative DNA damage in SAG-overexpressed cells compared to control cells on exposure to heat shock. In addition, transfection of PC3 cells with SAG small interfering RNA markedly decreased the expression of SAG, enhancing the susceptibility of heat shock-induced apoptosis. Taken together, these results indicate that SAG may play an important role in regulating the apoptosis induced by heat shock presumably through maintaining the cellular redox status. 相似文献
