黄腐酸引发软骨细胞产生过氧化氢及硒的抑制作用

为探讨黄腐酸（FA）能否直接刺激软骨细胞产生活性氧以及硒能否抑制由此产生的活性氧,采用二氯荧光素双酯（DCFH－DA）作为软骨细胞产生过氧化氢的探针,用流式细胞技术定量地检测了在FA作用下软骨细胞产生的过氧化氢,并同时检测了硒存在时的过氧化氢含量．发现FA不但能够刺激软骨细胞产生过氧化氢（P＜0．05）,并与FA浓度相关,随FA浓度增大,产生过氧化氢增多,当FA浓度为100mg／L时软骨细胞产生过氧化氢达到最大,之后再增大FA浓度,过氧化氢的产生量减少;硒的存在对FA刺激软骨细胞产生过氧化氢有抑制作用．     

关于巯基和Mn~(2+)介导豆壳过氧化物酶氧化藜芦醇的研究

藜芦醇作为非酚型木素模型物具有较高的氧化还原电位,豆壳过氧化物酶(soybeanhullperoxidase,SHP,EC.1.11.1.7)通过依赖于过氧化氢的正常过氧化物酶催化循环不能氧化藜芦醇,但在还原型谷胱甘肽、Mn2+和有机酸络合剂存在下却可以通过不依赖于过氧化氢的氧化酶反应途径完成对藜芦醇的氧化,产物为藜芦醛,反应最适pH为4.2。动力学研究表明该反应遵循顺规序列反应机制;对藜芦醇的表观KM值为4.3mmol/L,对谷胱甘肽的表观KM值为4.8mmol/L。巯基还原剂二硫苏糖醇、L-半胱氨酸和β-巯基乙醇亦可替代还原型谷胱甘肽促进藜芦醇氧化

Coupling of Dopamine Oxidation (Monoamine Oxidase Activity) to Glutathione Oxidation Via the Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide in Rat Brain Homogenates

Abstract: Homogenates of perfused rat brain generated oxidized glutathione from reduced glutathione during incubation with dopamine or serotonin. This activity was blocked by pargyline. a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, or by catalase, a scavenger of hydrogen peroxide. These results demonstrate formation of hydrogen peroxide by monoamine oxidase and the coupling of the peroxide to glutathione peroxidase activity. Oxidized glutathione was measured fluorometrically via the oxidation of NADPH by glutathione reductase. In the absence of added dopamine or serotonin, a much smaller amount of reduced glutathione was oxidized: this activity was blocked by catalase, but not by pargyline. Therefore, endogenous production of hydrogen peroxide, not linked to monoamine oxidase activity, was present. These results indicate that glutathione peroxidase (linked to hexose monophosphate shunt activity) can function to eliminate hydrogen peroxide generated by monoamine oxidase and other endogenous sources in aminergic neurons.     

The Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on β-Adrenoceptor Function in the Heart

A membrane preparation of calf heart left ventricle has been used to study the effect of radical stress on the β-adrenoceptor complex. To this end the membranes were incubated for 30 minutes with several concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. This resulted in a dose dependent peroxidation of the membrane lipids. Preincubation with hydrogen peroxide in the concentration range 10^--⁷-^-10^--³M caused an increase in specific (—)-[¹²⁵I]-Iodocyanopindolol binding. possihly due to a decrease in membrane fluidity as a result of lipid peroxidation, thus making the receptor protein more accessible. Higher concentrations H₂O₂ reduced the specific (—)-[¹²⁵I]-lodocyanopindolol binding, which is most likely the effect of deterioration of the receptor protein by the more pronounced radical stress induced by these higher concentrations. Also adenylate cyclase activity was affected by radical stress. Basal cyclic-AMP production and cyclic-AMP production induced by NaF (10^--² M) or guanylylimidodiphosphate (10^--⁴ M), was suppressed after pretreatment with concentrations of H₂O₂ above 10^--⁴ M. This indicates a higher sensitivity of the adenylate cyclase toward radical stress when compared to the receptor protein. Our results show that radical stress can perturb β-adrenoceptor function considerably in the heart.     

Involvement of Hydrogen Peroxide Generated by Polyamine Oxidative Degradation in the Development of Lateral Roots in Soybean

In order to determine whether hydrogen peroxide （H2O2） generated by polyamlne oxidative degradation Is Involved In the development of lateral roots In soybean, the length and the number of lateral roots, the actlvltlea of polyamlne oxldases and dlamlne oxldases, and the endogenous free polyamlne and H2O2 content were analyzed In soybean （Giycine max （Linn.） Merr.） main roots of 2-d-old seedlings after treatments for 2 d with exogenous β-hydroxyethylhydrazine （an Inhibitor of polyamlne oxldases）, H202, putresclne, cyclohexylamlne （an Inhibitor of spermidine synthase） or N,N＇-dimethylthlourea （a scavenger of hydrogen peroxide）.β-hydroxyethylhydrazlne treatment strongly Inhibited the development of lateral roots In soybean seedlings, reduced the activities of polyamine oxldases and dlamlne oxidases, decreased H2O2 levels, and led to the accumulation of endogenous polyamlnes In the main roots. The inhibitory effect of β-hydroxyethylhydrazlne on root development could be alleviated by exogenously applied 10 μmol/L H2O2 （a major product of polyamlne oxidation）. Treatment with cyclohexylamlne and putresclne promoted root growth slightly, but treatment with cyclohexylamlne plus N,N＇dlmethylthlourea or putresclne plus N,N＇-dlmethylthlourea prevented the development of soybean lateral roots. The effects of these treatments on the development of soybean lateral roots were consistent with the changes In endogenous H2O2 levels. These results suggest that the development of soybean lateral roots Is associated with the oxidative degradation of polyamlnes, and that their products, especially H2O2, are likely to play an Important role In the growth of soybean lateral roots.     

Pheomelanin Production by the Lipoxygenase-Catalyzed Oxidation of 5-S-Cysteinyldopa and 5-S-Cysteinyldopamine

5-S-cysteinyl-dopa (cysdopa) and 5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine (cysdopamine) are oxidized in vitro by soybean lipoxygenase (LOX) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide giving rise to the corresponding pheomelanins. The reaction is activated by caffeic acid and other catechols, suggesting a cofactor role for these compounds. The activating effect is proportional to the concentration of the cofactor, with a saturation profile. The activation extent of the various cofactors is directly related to LOX affinity for the same compounds. The possible implications of the peroxidative action of LOX in Parkinson's disease and in aging are discussed.     

Oxidation of methionine residues in the prion protein by hydrogen peroxide

Reaction of H(2)O(2) with the recombinant SHa(29-231) prion protein resulted in rapid oxidation of multiple methionine residues. Susceptibility to oxidation of individual residues, assessed by mass spectrometry after digestion with CNBr and lysC, was in general a function of solvent exposure. Met 109 and Met 112, situated in the highly flexible amino terminus, and key residues of the toxic peptide PrP (106-126), showed the greatest susceptibility. Met 129, a residue located in a polymorphic position in human PrP and modulating risk of prion disease, was also easily oxidized, as was Met 134. The structural effect of H(2)O(2)-induced methionine oxidation on PrP was studied by CD spectroscopy. As opposed to copper catalyzed oxidation, which results in extensive aggregation of PrP, this reaction led only to a modest increase in beta-sheet structure. The high number of solvent exposed methionine residues in PrP suggests their possible role as protective endogenous antioxidants.     

Heterogeneous Catalytic Oxidation of Phenanthrene by Hydrogen Peroxide in Soil Slurry: Kinetics,Mechanism, and Implication

The degradation of phenanthrene sorbed on soil has been carried out using a H₂O₂/goethite heterogeneous catalytic oxidation process. The effect of operating variables, such as the goethite concentration, pH, H₂O₂ concentration, soil organic matter, and bicarbonate ions has been investigated. The reaction followed pseudo-first order kinetics. The rate constants were evaluated and varied between 2.0×10^?4 and 1.1×10^?3?min^?1 depending on the H₂O₂ concentration. The highest rate of degradation of phenanthrene was observed at a H₂O₂ concentration of 5?M and 134.0?g/kg goethite. The intermediate product formed during the degradation of phenanthrene was identified to be salicylic acid that finally degraded to CO₂ and H₂O. H₂O₂ consumption continued as the OH radical attacked the salicylic acid. More than 80% consumption of the 5?M H₂O₂ took place within 30?min, and the degradation was almost complete after 3?h of reaction. Neutral pH was found to be effective in the removal of phenanthrene. Both soil organic matter (SOM) and bicarbonate ions in the soil inhibited the oxidation rate of phenanthrene.

Factors Affecting the Ascorbate- and Phenolic-dependent Generation of Hydrogen Peroxide in Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium

Ascorbate and several polyphenolic compounds have been reported to undergo oxidation in cell culture media to generate hydrogen peroxide (H?0?), but the mechanism underlying this has not been established. We therefore investigated the parameters affecting H?0? production. H?0? gene ration from ascorbate, gallic acid and other phenolic compounds in Dulbecco's Modified Eagles' Medium (DMEM) at 37°C under 95% air - 5% C0? was not significantly inhibited by high (5-10 mM) concentration of EGTA, o-phenanthroline or desferrioxamine, but partial inhibition by EDTA and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) was observed. Incubation of DMEM alone at 37°C led to an upward drift of pH, even under an atmosphere of 95% air - 5% C0?. Prevention of this pH rise by increasing the concentration of N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazine-N'-[2-ethanesulfonic acid] (Hepes) buffer lowered the levels of H?0? generated by ascorbate and phenolic compounds, but there was still substantial H?0? generated at pH 7.4. Mixtures of ascorbate and phenolic compounds led to less H?0? generation than would be expected from the rates observed with ascorbate or phenolic compounds alone. Ascorbate prevented the loss of gallic acid incubated in DMEM. The role of metal ions and other constituents of the culture medium in promoting H?0? generation is discussed.     

Release of Calcium from Mitochondrial and Nonmitochondrial Intracellular Stores in Mouse Pancreatic Acinar Cells by Hydrogen Peroxide

In the present study we have studied how [Ca²⁺] _i is influenced by H₂O₂ in collagenase-dispersed mouse pancreatic acinar cells and the mechanism underlying this effect by using a digital microspectrofluorimetric system. In the presence of normal extracellular calcium concentration, perfusion of pancreatic acinar cells with 1 mm H₂O₂ caused a slow sustained [Ca²⁺] _i increase, reaching a stable plateau after 10–15 min of perfusion. This increase induced by H₂O₂ was also observed in a nominally calcium-free medium, reflecting the release of calcium from intracellular store(s). Application of 1 mm H₂O₂ to acinar cells, in which nonmitochondrial agonist-releasable calcium pools had been previously depleted by a maximal concentration of CCK-8 (1 nm) or thapsigargin (0.5 μm) was still able to induce calcium release. Similar results were observed when thapsigargin was substituted for the mitochondrial uncoupler FCCP (0.5 μm). By contrast, simultaneous addition of thapsigargin and FCCP clearly abolished the H₂O₂-induced calcium increase. Interestingly, co-incubation of intact pancreatic acinar cells with CCK-8 plus thapsigargin and FCCP in the presence of H₂O₂ did not significantly affect the transient calcium spike induced by the depletion of nonmitochondrial and mitochondrial agonist-releasable calcium pools, but was followed by a sustained increase of [Ca²⁺] _i . In addition, H₂O₂ was able to block calcium efflux evoked by CCK and thapsigargin. Finally, the transient increase in [Ca²⁺] _i induced by H₂O₂ was abolished by an addition of 2 mm dithiothreitol (DTT), a sulfhydryl reducing agent. Our results show that H₂O₂ releases calcium from CCK-8- and thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular stores and from mitochondria. The action of H₂O₂ is likely mediated by oxidation of sulfhydryl groups of calcium-ATPases. Received: 15 May 2000/Revised: 4 October 2000     

An EPR Investigation of Human Methaemoglobin Oxidation by Hydrogen Peroxide: Methods to Quantify all Paramagnetic Species Observed in the Reaction

The method of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to study the reaction of human methaemoglabin (metHb) with hydrogen peroxide. The samples for EPR measurements were rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen at different times after H₂O₂ was added at 3- and 10-fold molar excess to 100 μM metHb in 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 37°C. Precautions were taken to remove all catalase from the haemoglobin preparation and no molecular oxygen evolution was detected during the reaction. On addition of H₂O₂ the EPR signals (- 196°C) of both high spin and low spin metHb rapidly decreased and free radicals were formed. The low temperature (- 196°C) EPR spectrum of the free radicals formed in the reaction has been deconvoluted into two individual EPR signals, one being an anisotropic signal (g° = 2.035 and g° = 2.0053), and the other an isotropic singlet (g = 2.0042, AH = 20 G). The former signal was assigned to peroxyl radicals. As the kinetic Pehaviour of both peroxyl (ROO^*) and nonperoxyl (P^*) free radicals were similar, we concluded that ROO^* radicals are not formed from P^* radicals by addition of O₂. The time courses for both radicals showed a steady state during the time required for H₂O₂ to decompose. Once all peroxide was consumed, the radical decayed with a first order rate constant of 1.42 ± 10^-3 s^-1 (1:3 molar ratio). The level of the steady state was higher and its duration shorter at lower initial concentration of H₂O₂. The formation of the rhombic Fe(III) non-haemcentres with g = 4.35 was found. Their yield was proportional to the H₂O₂ concentration used and the centers were ascribed to haem degradation products. The reaction was also monitored by EPR spectroscopy at room temperature. The kinetics of the free radicals measured in the reaction mixture at room temperature was similar to that observed when the fast freezing method and EPR measurement at —196°C were used.     

Analysis of Hydrogen Peroxide in an Aqueous Extract of Cigarette Smoke and Effect of pH on the Yield

An analysis of hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous extract of cigarette smoke, which contains many redox-active compounds, requires a method with high selectivity. An aqueous extract of the particulate phase of cigarette smoke was analyzed by HPLC with an electrochemical detector (ECD). Samples were prepared by collecting the particulate phase of the cigarette smoke on a glass fiber filter and extracting it with a phosphate buffer. The obtained solution was purified by using a Waters Oasis MCX cation-exchange cartridge, and then analyzed by an HPLC-ECD system with a Shodex KS-801 mixed-mode resin column. Pre-injecting hydrogen peroxide at a high concentration into the HPLC instrument stabilized the analytical results. The recovery of hydrogen peroxide by using an extract of the particulate phase of the cigarette smoke was more than 80%. An increase in the amount of hydrogen peroxide was observed during extraction with the phosphate buffer at higher pH values. In contrast, extraction with phosphoric acid did not increase the amount of hydrogen peroxide during extraction.

Oxidation of Cu,Zn-superoxide Dismutase by the Myeloperoxidase/Hydrogen Peroxide/Chloride System: Functional and Structural Effects

This study investigated the functional and structural effects of bovine Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) oxidation by the myeloperoxidase (MPO)/hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 )/chloride system and reagent hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Exposure to HOCl led to a fast inactivation accompanied by structural alterations. The residual SOD activity depended on the reactants concentration ratio and on the exposure time. The concomitant high consumption of HOCl indicated the presence of multiple targets on the protein. As assessed by SDS/PAGE, HOCl caused the dissociation of the protein into protomers at 16 kDa stable to both SDS and reducing conditions. Results from isoelectric focusing gels showed that exposure to HOCl induced the formation of modified protein derivatives, with a more acidic net electric charge than the parent molecule, consistent with the presence of additional ions observed in the electrospray ionization mass spectra. The reaction of protein with HOCl resulted in changes in protein conformation as assessed by the UV fluorescence and oxidation of the unique methionine and tyrosine, chlorination of several lysines with formation of chloramines. There was no significant formation of dityrosine and carbonyl groups. Exposure to high levels of HOCl resulted in complete enzyme inactivation, loss of additional lysine, histidine and arginine residues and coincident detection of weakly bound zinc and copper using 4-pyridylazaresorcinol. Collectively, the results suggest that the decrease of the dismutase activity is probably related to both dissociation into protomers and unfolding due to extensive oxidative modifications of amino acids.
