纳米二氧化铈对神经细胞PC12及SH-SY5Y活力的影响

目的:探究纳米二氧化铈(CeO₂)对神经细胞PC12与SH-SY5Y活力的影响。方法:合成纳米CeO₂材料,并对其结构进行表征,性能进行评估。用不同终浓度(1、2.5、5、10、25、50、75、100、150 μg/ml)的纳米CeO₂分别处理PC12细胞与SH-SY5Y细胞24 h,使用MTT法检测其细胞活力。然后使用活性氧清除剂NAC与纳米CeO₂共孵育处理PC12细胞与SH-SY5Y细胞,并用DCFH-DA探针染色,在荧光倒置显微镜下观察各组细胞的数量及其荧光强度。对实验数据采用单因素方差(one-way ANOVA)分析。结果:纳米CeO₂处理后,PC12细胞(P＜0.01)与SH-SY5Y细胞(P＜0.01)的活力都明显下降,与对照组差异明显。DCFH-DA探针染色后,发现纳米CeO₂的浓度越高,荧光强度越强,表明有活性氧(ROS)的产生。活性氧清除剂NAC与纳米CeO₂(100 μg/ml)共同处理PC12后,荧光强度明显减弱。与25 μg/ml (P＜0.01)、50 μg/ml(P＜0.01)、75 μg/ml(P＜0.01)、100 μg/ml(P＜0.01)纳米CeO₂处理组相比,共同处理组细胞活力明显增加。结论:纳米CeO₂对神经细胞PC12与SH-SY5Y的活力有明显的抑制作用,其机制可能与ROS有关。     

纳米硒通过抗氧化应激调节大脑NO含量改善睡眠剥夺小鼠认知功能

研究了纳米硒对睡眠剥夺(SD)小鼠(Mus musculus)认知功能的影响,并探讨其作用机制。将120只雄性昆明小鼠随机分成两批,第一批24只分为3组:对照组(NC)、亚硒酸钠组(SE)和纳米硒组(NS),分别给予硒浓度为4μg/ml的亚硒酸钠和纳米硒溶液每只0.5ml/d,NC组给等体积蒸馏水,连续30d,第31天测定SE和NS两组小鼠的血硒及全血GSH-Px活性,评价两种硒源的生物利用性;第二批96只分为4组:对照组(N-SeC),纳米硒低、中、高剂量组(L、M、H),L、M和H组分别给予硒浓度为2μg/ml、4μg/ml、8μg/ml的纳米硒溶液每只0.5ml/d,N-SeC组给予同体积蒸馏水,连续30d。第二批小鼠每组又各自分为4小组:SD对照组(SDC)及SD18h、SD36h、SD54h组,采用单平台水环境法(SPM)制作小鼠SD模型。在SD后,N-SeC、L、M和H组利用Y-型迷宫试验测定认知能力,同时测定小鼠大脑GSH-Px、NO、MDA含量。结果表明,纳米硒对GSH-Px活性的提高优于传统硒源亚硒酸钠,但血硒无显著差异;与SDC组比较,SD降低了小鼠的认知能力及大脑GSH-Px活性,提高了NO和MDA含量;与N-SeC比较,纳米硒使SD小鼠的认知功能得到改善,大脑GSH-Px活性提高,MDA和NO含量下降。上述结果表明,纳米硒能够改善SD小鼠的认知功能,这可能与其提高大脑GSH-Px活性并降低了自由基对大脑神经的损害有关。     

原核表达的萝卜PHGPx和谷胱甘肽对NIH3T3细胞氧化损伤的联合保护作用

将大肠杆菌中高效表达的萝卜磷脂氢谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(RsPHGPx)及其底物还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)联合作用于H2O2、过氧化叔丁基(t-BHP)以及磷脂氢过氧化物(PLPCOOH)损伤的小鼠NIH3T3成纤维细胞,研究其对于细胞过氧化损伤的保护作用。发现单独加入10 μg/ml RsPHGPx并不能明显保护细胞应对过氧化损伤,但是10 μg/ml RsPHGPx与3 mg/ml GSH共同作用,可显著提高GSH对细胞过氧化损伤的保护效果,提高细胞存活率,降低细胞膜脂质过氧化水平和胞内活性氧(ROS)水平,保护细胞维持形态完整和抑制细胞凋亡。这一联合作用结果说明RsPHGPx的催化作用可以快速清除细胞内多种过氧化物,高效地保护细胞免受过氧化损伤,为RsPHGPx的应用提供了实验依据。

Nano red elemental selenium has no size effect in the induction of seleno-enzymes in both cultured cells and mice

We previous reported that a nano red elemental selenium (Nano-Se) in the range from 20 approximately 60 nm had similar bioavailability to sodium selenite (BioFactors 15 (2001) 27). We recently found that Nano-Se with different size had marked difference in scavenging an array of free radicals in vitro, the smaller the particle, the better scavenging activity (Free Radic. Biol. Med. 35 (2003) 805). In order to examine whether there is a size effect of Nano-Se in the induction of Se-dependent enzymes, a range of Nano-Se (5 approximately 200 nm) have been prepared based on the control of elemental Se atom aggregation. The sizes of Nano-Se particles were inversely correlated with protein levels in the redox system of selenite and glutathione. Different sizes of red elemental Se were prepared by adding varying amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Three different sizes of Nano-Se (5 approximately 15 nm, 20 approximately 60 nm, and 80 approximately 200 nm) have been chosen for the comparison of biological activity in terms of the induction of seleno-enzyme activities. Results showed that there was no significant size effect of Nano-Se from 5 to 200 nm in the induction of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) and thioredoxin reductase-1 (TrxR-1) in human hepatoma HepG2 cells and the livers of mice.     

Free radical scavenging efficiency of Nano-Se in vitro

In this study, we showed that smaller size particles of Nano-Se have better scavenging effects on the following free radicals: carbon-centered free radicals (R*) generated from 2,2'-azo-bis-(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH), the relatively stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH), the superoxide anion (O2*-) generated from the xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO) system, singlet oxygen (1O2) generated by irradiated hemoporphyrin. Furthermore, the three sizes of Nano-Se studied also show protective effects against the oxidation of DNA. The three samples all have potential size-dependent characteristics on scavenging the free radicals. Although in this study we regarded Nano-Se as a whole without considering interactions between BSA and the red selenium nano-particles, there is the possibility that the apparent free radical scavenging effects may be partially contributed by such interactions.     

杨桃提取物体外清除氧自由基作用

从杨桃果中提取得到三种提取物为匀浆提取物、蛋白提取物和多糖提取物。采用化学发光法测定这三种提取物清除氧自由基的活性,实验结果:匀浆提取物清除羟自由基(·OH)和H2O2的活性大小相近,而清除超氧阴离子自由基(O2–·)的活性较小,其IC50约为前两者的4倍。蛋白提取物清除O2–·和·OH的活性大小相近,而清除H2O2的活性明显小于前两者,IC50约为前两者的9倍。多糖提取物清除.OH的活性明显大于清除O2–·和H2O2的活性,其IC50约为O2–·的1/22,约为H2O2的1/65。结果表明,杨桃果具有清除O2–·、·OH和H2O2的作用,不同提取物对这些活性氧自由基的清除能力有所不同。     

Antioxidant activity of extract from Polygonum cuspidatum

Numerous diseases are induced by free radicals via lipid peroxidation, protein peroxidation and DNA damage. It has been known that a variety of plant extracts have antioxidant activities to scavenge free radicals. Whether Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zuce has antioxidant activity is unknown. In this study, dried roots of Polygonum cuspidatum were extracted by ethanol and the extract was lyophilized. Free radical scavenging assays, superoxide radical scavenging assays, lipid peroxidation assays and hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays were employed to study antioxidant activities. The results indicate that the IC50 value oí Polygonum cuspidatum extract is 110 microg/ml in free radical scavenging assays, 3.2 microg/ml in superoxide radical scavenging assays, and 8 microg/ml in lipid peroxidation assays, respectively. Furthermore, Polygonum cuspidatum extract has DNA protective effect in hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays. The total phenolics and flavonoid content of extract is 641.1 +/- 42.6 mg/g and 62.3 +/- 6.0 mg/g. The results indicate that Polygonum cuspidatum extract clearly has antioxidant effects.     

Antioxidant activity of extract from Polygonum aviculare L

Free radicals induce numerous diseases by lipid peroxidation, protein peroxidation, and DNA damage. It has been reported that numerous plant extracts have antioxidant activities to scavenge free radicals. Whether Polygonum aviculare L. (Polygonaceae) has antioxidant activity is unknown. In this study, dried Polygonum aviculare L. was extracted by ethanol, and the extract was lyophilized. The antioxidant activities of extract powder were examined by free radical scavenging assays, superoxide radical scavenging assays, lipid peroxidation assays and hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays. The results show that the IC50 value of Polygonum aviculare L. extract is 50 microg/ml in free radical scavenging assays, 0.8 microg/ml in superoxide radical scavenging assays, and 15 microg/ml in lipid peroxidation assays, respectively. Furthermore, Polygonum aviculare L. extract has DNA protective effect in hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays. The total phenolics and flavonoid content of extract is 677.4 +/- 62.7 microg/g and 112.7 +/- 13 microg/g. The results indicate that Polygonum aviculare L. extract clearly has antioxidant effects.     

Free radical scavenging actions of metallothionein isoforms I and II

By employing electron spin resonance spectroscopy, we examined the free radicals scavenging effects of hepatic metallothionein (MT) isoforms I and II (MTs-I and II) on four types of free radicals. Solutions of 0.15mM of MT-I and 0.3mM of MT-II were found to scavenge the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals (1.30 × 10¹⁵ spins/ml) completely. In addition, both isoforms exhibited total scavenging action against the hydroxyl radicals (1.75 × 10¹⁵ spins/ml) generated in a Fenton reaction. Similarly, 0.3mM of MT-I scavenged almost 90% of the superoxide (2.22 × 10¹⁵ spins/ml) generated by the hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase system, while a 0.3mM MT-II solution could only scavenge 40% of it. By using 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidone as a “spin-trap” for the reactive oxygen species (containing singlet oxygen, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals) generated by photosensitized oxidation of riboflavin and measuring the relative signal intensities of the resulting stable nitroxide adduct, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidine-1-oxyl, we observed that MT-II (0.3 mM) could scavenge 92%, while MT-I at 0.15 mM μl/ml concentrations could completely scavenge all the reactive species (2.15 × 10¹⁵ spins/ml) generated.

The results of these studies suggest that although both isoforms of MT are able to scavenge free radicals, the MT-I appears to be a superior scavenger of superoxide and 1,1 diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals.     

Free radical scavenging actions of hippocampal metallothionein isoforms and of antimetallothioneins: an electron spin resonance spectroscopic study.

The high concentration of zinc in the hippocampal mossy fiber axon boutons is localized in the vesicles and is mobilized by exocytosis of the zinc-laden vesicles. Furthermore, the mammalian hippocampi contain metallothionein (MT) isoforms which regulate the steady state concentration of zinc, an important antioxidant. Indeed, zinc deprivation leads to an increased lipid peroxidation, reduces the activity of Cu++-Zn++ superoxide dismutase, and protect against oxidative stress such as exposure to ultraviolet A irradiation. By employing electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, we have demonstrated that rat hippocampal MT isoforms 1 and 2 were able to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals (DPPH), hydroxyl radicals (*OH) generated in a Fenton reaction, and superoxide anions (O2*-) generated by the hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase system. In addition, MT-1 isoform protected the isolated hepatocytes from lipid peroxidation as determined by thiobarbituric acid bound malondialdehyde. MT antibodies scavenged DPPH radicals, hydroxyl radicals and reactive oxygen species but not superoxide anions. The results of these studies suggest that although both isoforms of MT are able to scavenge free radicals, the MT-1 appears to be a superior scavenger of superoxide anions and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals. Moreover, antibodies formed against MT isoform retain some, but not all, free radical scavenging actions exhibited by MT-1 and MT-2.     

Structure and protective effect of exopolysaccharide from P. Agglomerans strain KFS-9 against UV radiation

The water-soluble exopolysaccharide (WSEPS) from Pantoea agglomerans strain KFS-9 isolated from mangrove forest was prepared by removing bacterial cell from the fermentation liquid following by concentration and cold ethanol precipitation of the supernatant. The polysaccharide material was purified by gel permeation chromatography on a Sephacryl S-300HR column and characterized using chemical and spectral methods. The results show that WSEPS is protein-bound polysaccharide, and it is composed of arabinose, glucose galactose and gulcuronic acid in the molar ratio of 1.0:2.2:2.8:0.9. Their antioxidant activities in vitro were studied by various antioxidant assays, including hydroxyl radical scavenging, superoxide radical scavenging and antilipid peroxidation. The results show that the WSEPS extracted had a high antioxidant activity in a concentration-dependent manner (except the activity of antilipid peroxidation). WSEPS quenched hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals at low amounts, the IC(50) of which were 0.07 and 0.15 mg/ml, respectively. These results indicate that the protective effect of WSEPS against UV radiation is most likely to be due to the free radicals-scavenging ability.
