Ischaemia-reperfusion injury resulting from interruption and restoration of blood flow might be related to free radical mediated oxidative stress and inflammation, and subsequently to post-surgery related complications. We studied the impact of renal transplantation on oxidative stress and inflammation by measuring F(2)-isoprostanes and prostaglandin F(2alpha), respectively, during transplantation and post-surgery. Additionally, due to earlier observations, two dissimilar anaesthetic agents (thiopentone and propofol) were compared to determine their antioxidative capacity rather than their anaesthetic properties. Blood samples were collected before, post-intubation, immediately, 30, 60,120, 240 min, and 12 and 24 h after reperfusion. Oxidative stress and inflammatory response were detected by measuring 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) (a major F(2)-isoprostane and a biomarker of oxidative stress) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha) (a major metabolite of PGF(2alpha) and a biomarker of COX-mediated inflammatory response), respectively. Reperfusion of the transplanted graft significantly increased plasma levels of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha). PGF(2alpha) metabolite levels, although elevated, did not reach statistical significance. In addition, significantly lower levels of 8-iso-PGF(2a) were observed in the propofol group compared to the thiopentone group. Together, these findings underline an augmented oxidative stress activity following an inflammatory response after human renal transplantation. Furthermore, propofol a well-known anaesthetic, counteracted oxidative stress by lowering the formation of a major F(2)-isoprostane. 相似文献

Isoprostanes, prostaglandins and tocopherols in pre-eclampsia, normal pregnancy and non-pregnancy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study is designed to evaluate whether oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in severe pre-eclampsia compared to normal pregnancy and non-pregnancy. We have measured plasma and urinary levels of 8-iso-PGF2alpha, a major isoprostane as an indicator of oxidative stress; plasma and urinary 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha, a major metabolite of cyclooxygenase-catalysed PGF2alpha as an indicator of inflammatory response, and plasma -alpha-and -gamma-tocopherol in 18 pre-eclamptic, 19 normal pregnancy and 20 non-pregnant women. Pregnant women had significantly higher levels of 8-iso-PGF2alpha and PGF2alpha metabolite as compared to the non-pregnancy. Levels of 8-iso-PGF2alpha in the pre-eclamptic women did not differ from the normal pregnancy but PGF2alpha metabolite levels were significantly higher in normal pregnancy. On the other hand, gamma-tocopherol levels were significantly lower in pre-eclampsia than normal pregnancy. In contrast, the concentration of alpha-tocopherol was very similar between the groups. alpha-and gamma-tocopherol levels were significantly lower in pregnancy compared to non-pregnancy. Although no direct evidence of oxidative stress and inflammatory response was observed in severe pre-eclampsia, a reduction of gamma-tocopherol suggests the possible precedence of oxidative stress in this condition. Higher levels of isoprostanes and prostaglandin metabolite in late pregnancy suggest the importance of both free radicals and cyclooxygenase-catalysed oxidation products in normal biological processes of pregnancy. 相似文献

F(2)-isoprostanes, non-enzymatic free radical mediated products of arachidonic acid, have shown to form during various oxidant stress status and have potent biological effects. This study investigates to what extent 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) (a major F(2)-isoprostane), a bioactive product of lipid peroxidation can modify endogenous prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)) formation since prostaglandins are inflammatory as well as potent vasoregulatory substances that modulate diverse important physiological functions, and also form during acute and chronic inflammation. An immediate appearance and disappearance of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) was seen in both plasma and urine within a short interval after i.v. administration of 43 microg/kg of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) to the rabbits. A successive but differential formation of PGF(2alpha) resulted in a rapid and pulsatile increase of plasma 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha), a major metabolite of primary PGF(2alpha). Later, this compound was excreted efficiently as intact compound into the urine during the 3 h of experiment. A 8-fold increase of PGF(2alpha) metabolite in plasma at 10 min and 12-fold increase in the urine at 30-60 after the i.v. administration of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) was observed which continued throughout the 3 h of experiment. This observation suggests that pharmacologically administered or endogenously produced 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) during oxidant stress induces prostaglandin formation presumably through the classical cyclooxygenase-catalysed arachidonic acid oxidation which might be inflammatory itself to the cells and exerts further vasoconstrictive effects. 相似文献

The role of oxidative stress in clinical cardiology is still controversial. The aims of the present study were to examine if minor ischaemic episodes as may occur during elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) induce oxidative stress and, eventually, if oxygen stress correlates with myocardial injury. Thirty eight and nine patients underwent PCI and diagnostic coronary angiography, respectively. Peripheral blood was sampled at different time points for plasma analyses of: 8-iso-PGF2alpha (free radical-mediated oxidative stress); 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha (cyclooxygenase-mediated inflammation); troponin-T (myocardial injury); hsCRP, vitamin A and vitamin E; and, total antioxidants status (TAS). In both groups 8-iso-PGF2alpha increased transiently by approximately 80% (p < 0.001) during the procedure. There was a minor troponin-T release (p < 0.001) after PCI, but no correlation with 8-iso-PGF2alpha. Troponin-T did not increase after angiography. 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha decreased by 50% after ended procedure, but increased by 100% after 24 h compared to baseline. hsCRP increased significantly (p < 0.001) from baseline to the next day in the PCI-group, but not in the angiography group. Vitamins and TAS decreased slightly after the procedures. It is concluded that a moderate oxidative stress was induced by both elective PCI and coronary angiography but that no correlation was found between oxidative stress and myocardial injury in this setting. This indicates that other mechanisms than ischaemia-reperfusion episodes caused an elevation in plasma isoprostane such like the injury at a vascular site mutual for both procedures. A secondary finding from the study was elevated markers of early inflammatory response, not only after PCI, but also after angiography. 相似文献

Cyclooxygenase 1-dependent production of F2-isoprostane and changes in redox status during warm renal ischemia-reperfusion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The detrimental role of oxidative stress has been widely described in tissue damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion. A nonenzymatic, reactive oxygen species-related pathway has been suggested to produce 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) (8-iso-PGF(2alpha)), an epimer of prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGF(2alpha)), which has been proposed as an indicator of oxidative stress. Using an in vivo ischemia-reperfusion model in rat kidneys, we investigated intrarenal accumulation of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and PGF(2alpha). Both prostanoids accumulated in the ischemic kidney and disappeared upon reperfusion. In addition, a nonselective (acetylsalicylic acid) or selective cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 inhibitor (SC-560) completely abrogated the 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and PGF(2alpha) formation in kidneys subjected to ischemia. COX2 inhibition had no effect on the production of these prostanoids. Therefore the two metabolites of arachidonic acid seemed to be produced via an enzymatic COX1-dependent pathway. Neither COX overexpression nor COX activation was detected. We also investigated renal glutathione, which is considered to be the major thiol-disulfide redox buffer of the tissue. Total and oxidized glutathione was decreased during the ischemic period, whereas no further decrease was seen for up to 60 min of reperfusion. These data demonstrate that a dramatic decrease in antioxidant defense was initiated during warm renal ischemia, whereas the 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) was related only to arachidonate conversion by COX1. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), myocardial injury results from complex processes during both ischemia and reperfusion. Release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may contribute to the accumulated myocardial damage. AIMS: To examine by frequent sampling of peripheral blood oxidative stress and early inflammation in patients undergoing primary PCI for AMI. Secondly, to assess whether a correlation exists between these parameters and the extent of myocardial damage. METHODS: Sixteen patients undergoing primary PCI within 6 h of AMI onset were included. Peripheral blood was sampled at start of procedure (t0) and repeatedly over 24 h following reperfusion. Main plasma analyses were: 8-iso-PGF2alpha (oxidative stress), 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha (cyclooxygenase-mediated inflammation); and troponin-T (myocardial injury). Additional analyses included: total antioxidant status (TAS); vitamins; hsCRP and lipids. RESULTS: 8-Iso-PGF2alpha increased following restoration of blood flow, returned to t0 values after 3 h and was reduced below t0 the following day. TAS decreased significantly from t0 to the next day. There was no significant correlation between 8-iso-PGF2alpha and troponin T values. 15-Keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha was elevated during the first hour. There was a major rise in hsCRP after 24 h. CONCLUSION: Following reperfusion by primary PCI in AMI, oxidative stress and an inflammatory response are induced immediately. A rise in 8-iso-PGF2a during ischemia indicate that ROS generation may also take place during severely reduced coronary blood flow and hypoxia. No direct relationship between 8-iso-PGF2alpha or 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha and troponin T was evident. The present study adds to the increasingly complex pathophysiological roles of ROS acting both as signal molecules and as mediators of tissue injury. 相似文献

Low concentrations of selenium (Se) predict mortality and cardiovascular diseases in some populations. The effect of Se on in vivo indicators of oxidative stress and inflammation, two important features of atherosclerosis, in human populations is largely unexplored. This study investigated the longitudinal association between serum selenium (s-Se) and a golden standard indicator of oxidative stress in vivo (8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha, a major F2-isoprostane), an indicator of cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated inflammation (prostaglandin F2alpha), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and serum amyloid A protein (SAA) in a follow-up study of 27 years. The s-Se was measured in 615 Swedish men at 50 years of age in a health investigation. The status of oxidative stress and inflammation was evaluated in a re-investigation 27 years later by quantification of urinary 8-iso-PGF2alpha and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha (a major metabolite of PGF2alpha) and serum hsCRP, SAA and IL-6. Men in the highest quartile of s-Se at age 50 had decreased levels of 8-iso-PGF2alpha compared to all lower quartiles and decreased levels of PGF2alpha compared to all lower quartiles at follow-up. These associations were independent of BMI, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking, alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene at baseline. The s-Se was not associated with hsCRP, SAA or IL-6 at follow-up. In conclusion, high concentrations of s-Se predict reduced levels of oxidative stress and subclinical COX-mediated (but not cytokine-mediated) inflammation in a male population. The associations between Se, oxidative stress and inflammation, respectively, might be related to the proposed cardiovascular protective property of Se. 相似文献

Both cyclooxygenase- and cytokine-mediated inflammation are associated with carotid intima-media thickness 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

BACKGROUND: Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) is a valid index of atherosclerosis, which is viewed as an inflammatory disease. It is unknown if various modes of inflammation (cyclooxygenase [COX]-mediated, cytokine-mediated), oxidative stress and anti-oxidants are independently related to CCA-IMT. METHODS AND RESULTS: We investigated cross-sectional relations between CCA-IMT measured by B-mode ultrasound and COX-mediated inflammation (as measured by 15-keto-dihydro-prostaglandin F(2alpha) [PGF(2alpha)], cytokine-mediated inflammation (interleukin-6 [IL-6], high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP] and serum amyloid A protein [SAA]), oxidative stress (8-iso-PGF(2alpha), an F(2)-isoprostane; a non-enzymatic, free radical-induced product of arachidonic acid), and tocopherols (anti-oxidants) in a small subset of a population-based sample of elderly men (n=234) stating no use of anti-inflammatory medications. In a backward-stepwise regression analysis of correlates of CCA-IMT (with PGF(2alpha), hsCRP, IL-6, SAA, F(2)-isoprostanes, tocopherols, diabetes, body mass index (BMI), beta-blocker, statin treatment, smoking, hypertension and cholesterol), PGF(2alpha), CRP, beta-blocker treatment, diabetes and BMI were independently associated with CCA-IMT. There were no associations between F(2)-isoprostanes or tocopherols and CCA-IMT in this study. CONCLUSION: This study suggests both COX- and cytokine-mediated inflammation to be independently associated with increased CCA-IMT, implying that there might be more than one mode of inflammation involved in atherogenesis. 相似文献

Cardiopulmonary bypass as a cause of free radical-induced oxidative stress and enhanced blood-borne isoprostanes in humans 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Free radicals are believed to be involved in postsurgery-related complications. We studied whether cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) operation has any immediate impact on the initiation of oxidative stress and inflammatory response by measuring isoprostanes and prostaglandin F2alpha during and 24 h following CPB. The levels of 8-iso-PGF2alpha (a major F2-isoprostane and biomarker of oxidative stress) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha (a major metabolite of PGF2alpha and biomarker of inflammatory response) were measured in frequently collected plasma samples before, during, and up to 24 h postsurgery in 21 patients. 8-Iso-PGF2alpha levels significantly increased within 3 min (p <.0001) and continued until 50 min (p <.0001) during CPB. On the contrary, no significant increase of inflammatory response indicator, 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha was found during and up to 24 h postoperatively. These findings establish an increased free radical-induced oxidative stress activity rather than inflammatory response after CPB. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that the protective effect of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) against methacholine-induced bronchoconstriction is negated in airways subjected to hyperosmotic stress. In this study, hypothesizing that the impaired efficiency of iNO was caused by release of reactive oxygen radicals, we examined the effect of the radical scavenging enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). METHODS: Hemodynamic and respiratory measurements were performed on anesthetized rabbits after (1) inhalation of methacholine (MCh), (2) iNO (80ppm), followed by MCh, (3) inhalation of hypertonic saline (HS), followed by iNO and MCh and (4) pre-treatment with inhalation of SOD, followed by HS, iNO and MCh. We analyzed plasma for a marker of oxidative stress, 8-iso-prostaglandin (PG)F(2alpha) and for a marker of activation of COX-mediated inflammatory cascades, PGF(2alpha) metabolite. RESULTS: Pre-treatment with SOD restored the bronchoprotective response to iNO in hyperosmotic airways. No direct effect was seen by SOD treatment on levels of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha), but this marker of oxidative stress correlated positively with increased bronchoconstriction. Hyperosmotic challenge elevated levels of PGF(2alpha) metabolite, and pre-treatment with SOD protected against this activation of the inflammatory cascade. CONCLUSION: SOD pre-treatment restores the relaxant effects of iNO in hyperosmotically challenged airways by attenuating oxidative stress and activation of COX-mediated inflammatory cascades. 相似文献

Resveratrol (3,5,4-trihydroxystilbene), a viniferin polyphenolic compound, has been shown to have neuroprotective effects and we tested its possible antioxidant activity in young and aged rat brain, evaluating, in vitro, synaptosomal 8-iso-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-iso-PGF2alpha) production as a marker of oxidative stress. We found that in young rat brain synaptosomes resveratrol perfusion had no effect on basal 8-iso-PGF2alpha production, but quenched to basal levels the increased 8-iso-PGF2alpha production induced by hydrogen peroxide. On the other hand, in aged rats, resveratrol was able to decrease 8-iso-PGF2alpha production both basally and after hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stimulus. In conclusion, our findings show that the antioxidant effects of resveratrol in rat brain could play a neuroprotective role in aging, when the increased burden of oxidative stress is faced by defective antioxidant mechanisms. 相似文献

Although antioxidant systems help control the level of reactive oxygen species they may be overwhelmed during periods of oxidative stress. Evidence suggests that oxidative stress components as well as inflammatory mediators may be involved in the pathogenesis of vascular disorders, where localized markers of oxidative damage have been found. In this regard we investigated the putative antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of blueberry and cranberry anthocyanins and hydroxycinnamic acids against H(2)O(2) and TNFalpha induced damage to human microvascular endothelial cells. Polyphenols from both berries were able to localize into endothelial cells subsequently reducing endothelial cells vulnerability to increased oxidative stress at both the membrane and cytosol level. Furthermore, berry polyphenols also reduced TNFalpha induced up-regulation of various inflammatory mediators (IL-8, MCP-1 and ICAM-1) involved in the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of damage or inflammation along the endothelium. In conclusion, polyphenols isolated from both blueberry and cranberry were able to afford protection to endothelial cells against stressor induced up-regulation of oxidative and inflammatory insults. This may have beneficial actions against the initiation and development of vascular diseases and be a contributing factor in the reduction of age-related deficits in neurological impairments previously reported by us. 相似文献

Recovery of neurological function in patients following cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a complex event. Free radical induced oxidative stress is supposed to be involved in this process. We studied levels of 8-iso-PGF2alpha (indicating oxidative injury) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha (indicating inflammatory response) in venous plasma obtained from the jugular bulb in a porcine model of experimental cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) where 2, 5, 8, 10 or 12 min of ventricular fibrillation (VF) was followed by 5 or 8 min of closed-chest CPR. A significant increase of 8-iso-PGF2alpha was observed immediately following restoration of spontaneous circulation in all experiments of various duration of VF and CPR. No such increase was seen in a control group. When compared between the groups there was a duration-dependent maximum increase of 8-iso-PGF2alpha which was greatest in animals subjected to the longest period (VF12 min + CPR8 min) of no or low blood flow. In contrast, the greatest increase of 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha was observed in the 13 min group (VF8 min + CPR5 min). Thus, a time-dependent cerebral oxidative injury occurs in conjunction which cardiac arrest and CPR. 相似文献

We investigated the mechanism by which rat luteal cells produce prostaglandin F(2 alpha) (PGF(2 alpha)) and its relevance to cell death in vitro. Treatment with progesterone (P4) of dispersed luteal cells prepared from rats on day 9 of pseudopregnancy caused dose-dependent inhibition of PGF(2 alpha) secretion. Cytokines, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) or interferon gamma (IFN gamma) alone had no or modest regulatory effects. Arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (AACOCF(3)), a specific group IVA phospholipase A(2) inhibitor, depressed both basal and cytokine-regulated PGF(2 alpha) production. A combination of TNFalpha and IFN gamma stimulated PGF(2 alpha) synthesis and cytotoxicity (both, P<0.05). Agonistic anti-Fas antibody challenge caused a significant cytotoxic effect but without affecting PGF(2 alpha) production. The present data suggest that P4 inhibits and TNFalpha and IFN gamma cooperatively stimulate PGF(2 alpha) release by rat luteal cells. They also suggest that luteal cell death induced by TNFalpha/IFN gamma and Fas stimulation seems to occur via distinct signaling pathways involving PGF(2 alpha) production. 相似文献

Transcardiac 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2 alpha)generation from acute myocardial infarction heart: insight into abrupt reperfusion and oxidant stress 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

8-iso-prostaglandin F(2 alpha)(8-iso-PGF(2 alpha)), a representative isoprostane, has been reported to be a reliable marker for oxidant stress in vivo. To examine if 8-iso-PGF(2 alpha)is generated in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we measured the level of immunoreactive 8-iso PGF(2 alpha)in the great cardiac vein as well as classical eicosanoids, 6-keto-prostaglandin F(1 alpha)(6-keto-PGF(1 alpha)) and thromboxane B(2)(TXB(2)) in the process of urgent coronary balloon angioplasty. Fourteen patients with anterior AMI were divided into two groups: the totally occluded (n=7) and the already perfused groups (n=7). In the former, transient elevation of 8-iso-PGF(2 alpha)was observed immediately after the angioplasty, i.e. the ratio of post-angioplasty level to pre-level was approximately 2.4 for 8-iso-PGF(2 alpha), 14 for 6-keto-PGF(1 alpha), and 5 for TXB(2). In the already perfused group, the levels of these eicosanoids were unchanged. In the totally occluded group, peak creatine phosphokinase in a peripheral vein was correlated with the level of 8-iso-PGF(2 alpha)(r(2)=0.841, P<0.01), but not with those of the other two eicosanoids. In conclusion, transcardiac 8-iso-PGF(2 alpha)generation is a reliable marker for the size of myocardium exposed to oxidant stress. 相似文献

Identification of 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) in rat brain neuronal endings: a possible marker of membrane phospholipid peroxidation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Isoprostanes are a family of prostaglandin (PG) F and E isomers generated by free-radical attack from membrane bound arachidonic acid. We measured detectable levels of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) in the perfusates of synaptosomes obtained from different areas of the rat brain cortex. A small but significant release of this isoprostane was found under basal conditions from all the areas explored; being lower in the dorsal cortex in respect to the frontal, parietal and occipital areas. Exposure of synaptosomes to a phospholipase A(2) activator, i.e. calcium-ionophore A23187, an oxidant agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or amyloid beta-peptide did not modify 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) release when these stimuli were applied separately. However, either hydrogen peroxide or amyloid beta-peptide increased 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) release in a dose-dependent manner, when given in the presence of the calcium-ionophore A23187. Synaptosome treatment with a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor (fenoprofen) did not modify 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) release in any way, but treatment with a water soluble antioxidant (Trolox C) completely suppressed isoprostane release under basal conditions, as well as after the oxidant injury induced either by hydrogen peroxide or amyloid beta-peptide. We conclude that, in neuronal endings, 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) is generated under basal conditions and its formation may be increased in a dose-dependent fashion by oxidant stimuli through a cyclooxygenase-independent mechanism involving free radical-catalyzed oxidation of arachidonic acid on membrane phospholipids. 相似文献

Biomarkers of free radical injury during spinal cord ischemia. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Plasma and urinary levels of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha) were analysed at baseline and during the ischemia-reperfusion period in experimental spinal cord ischemia. A significant and immediate increase of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) in plasma at the start and up to 60 min, and in the urine at 90-150 min following ischemia indicate an association of oxidative injury. The inflammatory response indicator 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha) in plasma increased significantly at the start and up to 60 min after ischemia. No such increase was seen in animals with no spinal cord ischemia. Thus, free radical mediated and cyclooxygenase catalysed products of arachidonic acid are increased during spinal cord ischemia as a consequence of oxidative injury and inflammation. 相似文献

Free radicals have been shown to be involved in bone resorption in vitro and in rodents. We studied the effect of oxidative stress on bone mineral density (BMD) in 48 women and 53 men from a population-based study. The levels of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) (a major F(2)-isoprostane and a biomarker of oxidative stress) and a control, 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha) (a biomarker of inflammatory response), were measured in urinary samples and their association with BMD and quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements were examined. In multivariate linear regression analyses, 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) levels were negatively associated with both BMD and QUS. In contrast, no association was found for 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha). Our findings establish a biochemical link between increased oxidative stress and reduced bone density and provide a rational for further studies investigating the role of pro- and antioxidants in osteoporosis. 相似文献

Prostaglandins are profoundly involved in endotoxaemic shock. Twenty pigs were given endotoxin at various doses (0.063-16 microg kg(-1) h(-1)). Three non-endotoxaemic pigs served as controls. Two eicosanoids were measured in plasma (8-iso-PGF(2alpha), a free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation product, and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha) a major metabolite of COX activity) and evaluated against the pathophysiological responses that occur during endotoxaemic shock. Endotoxin mediates an increase in both 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha). An increase in the endotoxin dose induced significant log-linear responses in 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF(2alpha). Oxidative injury correlated to the TNF-alpha, IL-6, reductions in cardiac performance and to oxygen delivery and utilisation. COX-mediated inflammatory responses correlated to TNF-alpha, IL-6 and to reductions in arterial oxygen tension. Thus, oxidative injury and COX-mediated inflammation play a central role in the manifestation of endotoxaemic shock. Furthermore, formation of these eicosanoids on endotoxin-mediated alterations in pulmonary hypertension, oxygen delivery and oxygen utilisation seems to be independent of the administered endotoxin dose. 相似文献

8-Iso-PGF(2alpha) administration generates dysmorphogenesis and increased lipid peroxidation in rat embryos in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Diabetic pregnancy displays increased incidence of congenital malformations and elevated levels of lipid peroxides in the offspring. The aim of the present work was to study if exogenous administration of one lipid peroxide, the isoprostane 8-iso-PGF(2alpha), is teratogenic per se in rat embryos in vitro, and if such teratological effects may be diminished by supplementation of an antioxidative agent, i.e., N-acetylcysteine or superoxide dismutase, to the culture medium. METHODS: Day-9 embryos were cultured in vitro for 48 hr and subjected to 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) with and without N-acetylcysteine or superoxide dismutase. RESULTS: Addition of 2 micromol/l of the isoprostane 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) to the culture medium caused high malformation rate, decreased protein and DNA contents, decreased somite number and crown-rump-length as well as marked accumulation of the isoprostane in the embryonic tissues. Adding N-acetylcysteine or superoxide dismutase to the culture medium with isoprostane normalized almost all morphological and biochemical parameters, including the elevated tissue concentration of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha). CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that the isoprostane (8-iso-PGF(2alpha)) serves both as an oxidative stress indicator and a teratogenic agent. The findings support earlier studies of enhanced oxidative stress and increased malformation rate in embryos exposed to a diabetes-like environment, and suggest prevention of dysmorphogenesis by administration of antioxidative agents. 相似文献
