In excised wheat leaves, the activity of nitrate reductase was enhanced by a brief pulse of red light and this increase was
reversed by far-red light irradiation. Even under continuous far-red light, nitrate reductase activity increased by 258% after
18 h. When leaves were kept in distilled water during exposure to red light and then transferred to potassium nitrate, there
was no difference in endogenous nitrate concentration. The nitrate reductase activity was the same whether leaves were floated
in potassium nitrate or in distilled water during irradiation. Partial to complete inhibition of enzyme activity was observed
when leaves were incubated in actinomycin-D and cycloheximide respectively, following 4 h of red light irradiation.In vitro irradiation of extract had no significant effect on nitrate reductase activity 相似文献

The radioprotective potential of alcoholic extract of root of R. cordifolia, was studied by survival, hemopoietic cell protection and micronucleus assay. The LD50 value for the alcoholic root extract was found to be 1200 mg/kg body weight at 72 hr post irradiation. A significant radiation protection (67%) as assessed by increased animal survival was observed when R. cordifolia (RC) extract was administered intraperitoneally, 90 min. before the radiation exposure. Besides, the extract also inhibited radiation induced lipid peroxidation measured by the inhibition of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS). The RC extract at a selected dose of 460 mg/kg body weight was effective in protecting the radiation induced suppression of endogenous colony forming units in spleen. A significant inhibition of radiation (2 Gy) induced micronuclei formation was observed when RC extract was administered 90 min prior to irradiation. Thus, it appears that the alcoholic root extract of R. cordifolia provides significant protection against radiation induced lipid peroxidation, hemopoietic injury and genotoxicity. The mechanism of action of RC extract appears to be through its anti-oxidant, metal chelation and anti-inflammatory property. 相似文献

Sterilization of milk protein without heating is of great interest. Gamma irradiation is a very powerful method to decontaminated casein. Gamma-irradiation of proteins in aqueous media at doses higher than 5kGy is known to induce their aggregation (without oxygen) or degradation (in presence of oxygen). Camellia sinensis green tea extract addition before irradiation of caseins cow milk proteins was examined. It was found that the presence of C. sinensis green tea extract during irradiation in the presence of oxygen conditions prevented the protein aggregation even at doses higher than 10kGy, probably by scavenging oxygen radicals produced by irradiation. The protective role of C. sinensis green tea extract allowing the gamma-irradiation treatment of caseins cow milk proteins in solution, was asserted by sodium dodecyl-sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and by high performance liquid chromatography inverse phase (RP-HPLC). The total viable microorganisms content evaluated by Plate Count Agar (PCA) incubation for 12h at 37°C, showed that caseins protein preparations gamma-irradiated remained sterile at a dose 2kGy in absence of C. sinensis green tea extract and at a dose lower than 2kGy in the presence of C. sinensis green tea extract. 相似文献

Injection of extracts from normal mouse spleen tissue into irradiated mice enhance the rate of regeneration of colony forming units (CFU-S) in the femoral marrow. This effect was most pronounced when spleen extract was injected between 24 hr before and 24 hr after the time of irradiation, and was observed only during the first week after a single injection of extract. Another result of injecting spleen extract was an immediate and transient decrease in the marrow cellularity and particularly in the number of mature myeloid cells in the marrow. Fetuin produced comparable effects on the rate of regeneration of CFU-S and on the numbers of mature myeloid cells in the marrow. On the basis of these results it is tempting to speculate that injection of spleen extracts and of fetuin primarily cause a rapid depletion of the marrow's granulocyte reserve. This in turn releases the precursor cell compartment from the inhibitory effects of cell–cell interaction and results in an acceleration of the rate of CFU-S regeneration. It is equally plausible that factors present in spleen extract and in fetuin cause a depletion of the marrow granulocyte reserve and, by an unrelated mechanism, directly accelerate the rate of regeneration of CFU-S. 相似文献

Suppression of UVC-induced cell damage and enhancement of DNA repair by the fermented milk, Kefir 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

An aqueous extract of Kefir, fermented milk originally produced in the Caucasus mountains, suppressed morphological changes
of human melanoma HMV-1 and SK-MEL cells and human normal fibroblastTIG-1 cells caused by UVC-irradiation, suggesting that
UV damage can be suppressed by the Kefir extract. The addition of the Kefir extract after UVC-irradiation of HVM-1 cells resulted
in a remarkable decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) which had been increased by UVC irradiation. The Kefir
extract also stimulated unscheduled DNA synthesis and suppressed UVC-induced apoptosis of HMV-1 cells. A colony formation
assay revealed that the Kefir extract rescued HMV-1 cells from cell death caused by UVC irradiation. The Kefir extract, as
well as methyl methanethiosulfonate which is known to enhance the nucleotide excision repair (NER) activity, exhibited strong
thymine dimer repair-enhancing activity. Epigalocatechin exhibited a weak NER activity but vitamins A, C, and E and catechin
showed no NER activity. The thymine dimer repair-enhancing factors in the Kefir extract were heat-stable and assumed to be
molecules with a molecular weight of less than 5000. The treatment of HMV-1 cells with the Kefir extract during or before
UVC- irradiation also prevented the generation of ROS and thymine dimmer, and suppressed the apoptosis of HMV-1 cells, suggesting
that application of Kefir can prevent UV damage.

Irradiation with UV-A of normal human fibroblasts in phosphate-buffered saline induced cell death, measured as lack of colony-forming ability. A specially filtered sunlamp, emitting wavelengths greater than 330 nm, was used as UV-A source. After UV-A irradiation, single-strand breaks (alkali-labile bonds) could be detected in DNA; these lesions were rapidly repaired. The induction of these single-strand breaks was almost eliminated when irradiation was performed in the presence of catalase. However, catalase, when present during UV-A irradiation, did not reduce cell death of the fibroblasts. Excision repair, monitored as unscheduled DNA synthesis, was induced strongly by irradiation with UV-C (predominantly 254 nm), but could not be detected after UV-A irradiation. Moreover, very little accumulation of incision breaks during post-irradiation incubation with hydroxyurea and 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC) was detected after UV-A. This is consistent with the low amount of pyrimidine dimers (measured as UV-endonuclease susceptible sites) induced by UV-A. Xeroderma pigmentosum fibroblasts of complementation group A, which are extremely sensitive to UV-C irradiation, showed the same sensitivity to UV-A as normal fibroblasts. The results indicate that lethality by UV-A wavelengths greater than 330 nm is caused by lesions other than single-strand breaks (alkali-labile bonds) and pyrimidine dimers. 相似文献

The ability of the aminothiol WR-1065 [N-(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,3-diaminopropane] to protect L5178Y (LY) cells against the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of exposure to accelerated (56)Fe ions (1.08 GeV/nucleon) was determined. It was found that while WR-1065 reduced the mutagenicity in both cell lines when it was present during the irradiation, the addition of WR-1065 after the exposure had no effect on the mutagenicity of the radiation in either cell line. No marked protection against the cytotoxic effects of exposure to (56)Fe ions was provided by WR-1065 when added either during or after irradiation in either cell line. We reported previously that WR-1065 protected the LY-S1 and LY-SR1 cell lines against both the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of X radiation when present during exposure, but that its protection when administered after exposure was limited to the mutagenic effects in the radiation-hypersensitive cell line, LY-S1. The results indicate that the mechanisms involved differ in the protection against cytotoxic compared to mutagenic effects and in the protection against damage caused by accelerated (56)Fe ions compared to X radiation. 相似文献

The effect of diamide on the radiosensitivity of T-cells was investigated under oxic and anoxic conditions. The compound was found to sensitize the cells under both conditions. Under oxic conditions, exposure for 10 min before and during irradiation to 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mM diamide produced dose-modifying factors of 0.81, 0.60 and 0.55, respectively. Under anoxic conditions, exposure for 10 min before and during irradiation to 0.5 mM produced a dose-modifying factor of 0.34. When the cells in oxic conditions were exposed for just 20 min before irradiation, the sensitizing effect was smaller, but some sensitization effect was still apparent after a 120 min interval between diamide treatment and irradiation. Diamide also sensitized the cells after irradiation, but this effect was less than when it was present during irradiation. The presence of whole rat-blood in the incubation medium prevented sensitization. No sensitization could be detected in the whole animal. It is proposed that sensitization is due to lack of capacity for repair of radicals by hydrogen transfer and biochemical repair processes. 相似文献

Wild chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum L.) is traditionally used in folk medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent. It is also used in the southwest plateau region of China to prevent ultraviolet-induced skin damage. However, the role and mechanism by which wild chrysanthemum prevents UV-induced skin damage and photoaging have never been investigated in vitro. In the present study, we found that aqueous extracts from wild chrysanthemum strongly reduced high-dose UVB-induced acute cell death of human immortalized keratinocytic HaCat cells. Wild chrysanthemum extract was also demonstrated to reduce low-dose UVB-induced expression of the photoaging-related matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9. The ROS level elevated by UVB irradiation was strongly attenuated by wild chrysanthemum extract. Further study revealed that wild chrysanthemum extract reduced UVB-triggered ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK phosphorylation and their protective role, which is partially dependent on inhibiting p38 activation. These results suggest that wild chrysanthemum extract can protect the skin from UVB-induced acute skin damage and photoaging by reducing the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and inhibiting p38 MAPK phosphorylation. The present study confirmed the protective role of wild chrysanthemum against UV-induced skin disorders in vitro and indicated the possible mechanism. Further study to identify the active components in wild chrysanthemum extract would be useful for developing new drugs for preventing and treating skin diseases, including skin cancer and photoaging, induced by UV irradiation. 相似文献

The licensing factor Cdt1 is degraded by CRL4(Cdt2) ubiquitin ligase dependent on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) during S phase and when DNA damage is induced in G(1) phase. Association of both Cdt2 and PCNA with chromatin was observed in S phase and after UV irradiation. Here we used a micropore UV irradiation assay to examine Cdt2 accumulation at cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer-containing DNA-damaged sites in the process of Cdt1 degradation in HeLa cells. Cdt2, present in the nucleus throughout the cell cycle, accumulated rapidly at damaged DNA sites during G(1) phase. The recruitment of Cdt2 is dependent on prior PCNA chromatin binding because Cdt2 association was prevented when PCNA was silenced. Cdt1 was also recruited to damaged sites soon after UV irradiation through its PIP-box. As Cdt1 was degraded, the Cdt2 signal at damaged sites was reduced, but PCNA, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer, and XPA (xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A) signals remained at the same levels. These findings suggest that Cdt1 degradation following UV irradiation occurs rapidly at damaged sites due to PCNA chromatin loading and the recruitment of Cdt1 and CRL4(Cdt2), before DNA damage repair is completed. 相似文献

Cellulose extraction from wood chip in an ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl)
In the present study, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl), an ionic liquid (IL), was used to extract cellulose from pine, poplar, Chinese parasol, and catalpa wood chips. Results show that pine is the most suitable wood species for cellulose extraction with ILs. Its cellulose extraction rate can reach as high as 62% under optimized conditions and its cellulose content is as high as 85% when DMSO/water is used as the precipitant. The dissolution process can be clearly observed by hot stage optical microscopy, and the reaction time can be significantly reduced by microwave irradiation. 13C CP/MAS NMR, FTIR, XRD, and SEM were used to analyze the cellulose-rich extracts of pine. Results show that IL dissolves pine wood by destroying inter and intramolecular hydrogen bonds between lignocelluloses. The major component of pine extract is cellulose with a homogeneous and dense structure. After extraction, AmimCl can be easily recycled and reused. 相似文献

The effect of 0.05 M and 1.5 M NaCl treatments on CHO cells during and after irradiation has been examined. Treatment with either hypotonic or hypertonic salt solutions during and after irradiation resulted in the fixation of radiation damage which would otherwise not be expressed. The half time for fixation was 4 to 5 min, and the increased expression of the potentially lethal damage by anisotonic solutions was mainly characterized by large decreases in the shoulder of the survival curve, as well as by decreases in DO. Fixation of radiation damage at 37 degrees C occurred to a much greater extent for the hypertonic treatment than for the hypotonic treatment and was greater at 37 degrees C than at 20 degrees C. Although both the hypotonic and hypertonic treatments during and after irradiation reduced or eliminated the repair of sublethal and potentially lethal damage, treatment during irradiation only, radiosensitized the cells when the treatment was hypotonic, and radioprotected the cells when the treatment was hypertonic. These observations are discussed in relation to salt treatments and different temperatures altering competition between repair and fixation of potentially lethal lesions, the number of which depends on the particular salt treatment at the time of irradiation. 相似文献

A comparison of autoclaved and gamma-irradiated soils as media for microbial colonization experiments 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Summary The effects on various properties of Lincoln Clay of a sterilizing dose of gamma radiation (3.0 megarads) were compared to the effects resulting from autoclaving the soil (121°C) for 1 hour. Effects of both treatments were much more drastic when moist, rather than air-dry soil was treated but, in general, radiation had less effect on soluble organic matter and on total water-extractable electrolyte than did autoclaving. Radiation caused a greater release of NH4-N from soil treated moist than did autoclaving but the reverse was true in dry soil. Alcohol-soluble ninhydrin-positive material was increased by both sterilization procedures with irradiation having the greater effect. The aggregate stability of Lincoln clay was decreased by irradiation and increased by autoclaving.Pure cultures of bothArthrobacter sp. andPseudomonas sp. grew better, on the basis of cell yields, in irradiated than in autoclaved soil. Respiration of mixed soil organisms in an artificial soil amended with an extract of irradiated soil was almost identical with that in an extract of air-dried soil but auto-claved soil extract was only metabolized after a prolonged lag period.This work was supported by grant # A 1702 from the National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Canada. 相似文献

Rounded mitotic cells showed 30% enhanced electrophoretic mobility (EPM) when compared to spindle-formed interphase cells. This increase in EPM that was not present in interphase cells that had been rounded chemically by EDTA is considered to reflect a structural change in the cell membrane during mitosis. X-ray irradiation induced a dose-dependent EPM decrease in both interphase and mitotic cells during a 4-hour period. During the next 20 h of incubation, EPM recovery took place in cells irradiated with 250R, but not in cells exposed to 1000R. EPM was enhanced during mitosis in cells irradiated with low doses, but was absent in cells irradiated with 1000R. The ratio of colony-forming cells and of electrophoretically recovered mitotic cells after 24 h of exposure showed a good statistical correlation. These results indicate that unrepaired membrane damage contributes to mitotic cell death after irradiation. 相似文献

When permeabilized Friend cells, which had been briefly treated by DMSO, were exposed to cell-free extracts from UV irradiated cells, a small but significant number of the cells became reactive to benzidine, a characteristic of erythroid differentiation. The activity in the extracts was apparently induced following UV irradiation, reaching a maximum 25 to 30 h after irradiation. Although a similar activity was detected in the extract from mitomycin C treated cells, little activity was detected in the extract from cells treated with DMSO, a potent erythroid inducing agent. The induction of the active factor by UV irradiation was not specific of Friend cells since similar inducing activities were detected in the extract from non-erythroid murine cells irradiated by UV. The active factor in the extract seems to be a protein, judged from its heat sensitivity and high molecular weight. Significance of this finding in relation to cellular differentiation and DNA damage is discussed. 相似文献

The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of ethanolic extract of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) leaf was evaluated before and after subjecting it to far-infrared (FIR) irradiation. The main component of the extract was analyzed as kaempferitrin (kaempferol-3,7-O-α-dirhamnoside). Prior to FIR irradiation, no inhibitory activity of the extract was detected in a tyrosinase assay. However, after FIR irradiation for 1h at 60°C, significant tyrosinase inhibitory activity (IC(50)=3500 ppm) was observed in it. In HPLC analysis, derhamnosylation products (kaempferol, afzelin, and α-rhamnoisorobin) were detected. The inhibitory activity may be due to the existence of derhamnosylation products. This study demonstrated that FIR irradiation can be used as a convenient tool for deglycosylation of flavonoid glycoside. 相似文献

The blood extract Solcoseryl (SO), when administered daily in i.p. injection to mice adapted to ambient temperature of 32.5 degrees C enhances within a period of 5 days the activities of the enzymes LDH and G-6-PDH of liver, kidney, testes and thymus in an oscillatory way. The changes of enzyme activity resulting from whole body irradiation with gamma-rays and exhibiting mostly a tendency towards diminution are abolished and the activities restored to values lying in between those obtained with sole SO treatment or irradiation alone, respectively, when following irradiation SO is again applied for a period of 3 days. 相似文献

Effects of 2-mercaptopropionyl glycine on radiation-induced lipid peroxidation in liposomes and in rat liver microsomal suspensions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

gamma-Irradiation of rat liver microsomal suspensions resulted in the accumulation of both malondialdehyde (MDA) and lipid hydroperoxides. The presence of 2-mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG) during the irradiation period decreased the formation of MDA and lipid hydroperoxides in a dose (MPG)-dependent manner. This may be attributed to the ability of MPG to scavenge the free radicals produced by irradiation. Post-irradiation incubation of microsomes further enhanced the production of both MDA and lipid hydroperoxides; when high concentrations of MPG were present during the incubations the production of MDA and lipid hydroperoxides was substantially decreased. This antioxidant role of MPG was demonstrated for both pre-irradiated microsomes and liposomes and is thought to be due to the conversion of the hydroperoxy to hydroxy fatty acids within the lipid bilayer, as well as the scavenging action on initiating free radicals. 相似文献

Continuous exposure to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation leads to a variety of skin damage, such as sunburn, pigmentation, premature ageing, and photocarcinogenesis. Various phytochemical extracts have been identified to efficiently protect sun exposed skin from UV induced photodamage. A Ficus deltoidea (Mas cotek) water extract has been widely used for women’s health in Malaysia. In a previous study from this lab, the F. deltoidea extract exhibited strong anti-melanogenic effects towards cultured B16F1 melanoma cells. Additional studies were intended to evaluate the effects of the F. deltoidea extract on antiphotoageing activity using cultured human dermal fibroblasts and immortalised human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Both TNF-α and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) play primary roles in the inflammation process upon UV irradiation and are known to be stimulated by UVB irradiation. Treatment with the F. deltoidea extract dramatically inhibited the UVinduced TNF-α, IL-1α, IL-6, and COX-2 expression. The decreased collagen synthesis of fibroblasts as a result of UVB exposure was restored to a normal level after treatment with the F. deltoidea extract. In addition, the enhanced MMP-1 expression upon UVB irradiation was downregulated by the F. deltoidea extract in a dose-dependent manner. The overall findings indicate that the F. deltoidea extract may exert a protective effect against UVB-induced damage in the skin that is useful for anti-photoageing cosmetic products. 相似文献
