It is well known that the addition of spermine or spermidine to culture medium containing ruminant serum inhibits cellular proliferation. This effect is caused by the products of oxidation of polyamines that are generated by serum amine oxidase. Among the products, we found that acrolein is a major toxic compound produced from spermine and spermidine by amine oxidase. We then analysed the level of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) and amine oxidase activity in plasma of patients with chronic renal failure. It was found that the levels of putrescine and the amine oxidase activity were increased, whereas spermidine and spermine were decreased in plasma of patients with chronic renal failure. The levels of free and protein-conjugated acrolein were also increased in plasma of patients with chronic renal failure. An increase in putrescine, amine oxidase and acrolein in plasma was observed in all cases such as diabetic nephropathy, chronic glomerulonephritis and nephrosclerosis. These results suggest that acrolein is produced during the early stage of nephritis through kidney damage and also during uraemia through accumulation of polyamines in blood due to the decrease in their excretion into urine. 相似文献

The toxicity of extracellular spermine, determined in the presence of fetal calf serum, was studied using three cell lines: FM3A, L1210, and NIH3T3 cells. Amine oxidase in fetal calf serum produces aminodialdehyde generating acrolein spontaneously, H(2)O(2), and ammonia from spermine. Spermine toxicity was prevented by aldehyde dehydrogenase, but not by catalase. Similar concentrations of spermine and acrolein were needed to produce toxicity. Other aldehydes (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and propionaldehyde) and hydrogen peroxide were less toxic than acrolein. Spermidine and 3-aminopropanal, which produces acrolein, also exhibited severe cytotoxicity. The degree of cytotoxicity of spermine, spermidine, and 3-aminopropanal was nearly parallel with the amount of acrolein produced from each compound. Thus, it was deduced that acrolein is a major toxic compound produced from polyamines (spermine and spermidine) by amine oxidase. 相似文献

Evidence obtained from experiments with rats and mice is presented suggesting that the naturally occurring amino acids putreanine and N8-(2-carboxyethyl)spermidine, and most probably also related compounds deriving from the polyamines spermidine and spermine by oxidative metabolism, are formed within two anatomical compartments. In the first step polyamines are converted into aldehydes by serum spermine oxidase in the circulation. A certain portion of these aldehydes can be taken up by liver and other organs and transformed by aldehyde dehydrogenase into the corresponding amino acids. Putreanine is not only derived from spermidine, but can also be formed from N8-(2-carboxyethyl)spermidine by oxidative deamination, catalysed by serum spermine oxidase, and subsequent spontaneous elimination of acrolein. 相似文献

Summary. The levels of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) and polyamine oxidase in plasma of patients with chronic renal
failure were determined. The level of putrescine was increased but the level of spermine was decreased in the plasma of these
patients. The patients also had increased plasma polyamine oxidase activity leading to increased degradation of spermine.
As acrolein was a major toxic compound produced from spermine by polyamine oxidase, the levels of free and protein-conjugated
acrolein in plasma were also measured. Acrolein levels were enhanced in plasma of patients with chronic renal failure. The
accumulated acrolein found as protein conjugates was equivalent to 170 μM, which was about 5-fold higher than in plasma of
normal subjects. It was found that acrolein is mainly produced by spermine oxidase in plasma. An increase in putrescine, spermine
oxidase and acrolein in plasma was observed in all cases such as diabetic nephropathy, chronic glomerulonephritis and nephrosclerosis.
After patients with chronic renal failure had undergone hemodialysis, their levels of plasma polyamines, spermine oxidase
and acrolein returned towards normal. It is likely that acrolein produced from spermine accumulates in the blood due to decreased
excretion into urine and may function as a uremic “toxin”. 相似文献

Since polyamines have been suggested to be one of the uremic "toxins," the levels of each polyamine, its oxidized product, acrolein, and amine oxidase in plasma of patients with renal failure were investigated. The level of putrescine was increased, whereas the level of spermine was decreased in the plasma of patients with renal failure. The patients also had increased serum amine oxidase activity leading to increased degradation of spermine. Both levels of free and protein-conjugated acrolein were also increased in plasma of patients with renal failure. The accumulated acrolein found as protein conjugates was equivalent to 180 microM, which was 6-fold higher than in plasma of normal subjects. It was found that acrolein is mainly produced by polyamine oxidase in plasma. A cell lysate containing polyamine oxidase was cytotoxic in the presence of spermine. Our results indicate that the level of acrolein is well correlated with the degree of seriousness of chronic renal failure. 相似文献

The responses of human umbilical-vein vascular endothelial cells in culture to the naturally occurring polyamines spermine, spermidine and putrescine, their acetyl derivatives and oxidation products were examined. In the absence of human polyamine oxidase, exposure of cells to polyamines (up to 160 microM) had no adverse effects. In the presence of polyamine oxidase, spermine and spermidine were cytotoxic, but putrescine was not. Acetylation of the aminopropyl group of spermidine or both aminopropyl groups of spermine prevented this cytotoxicity. The amino acids corresponding to the polyamines, representing a further stage of oxidation, were also without effect. The cytotoxic effects were irreversible. Use of bovine serum amine oxidase in place of the human enzyme gave qualitatively similar results. 相似文献

Human NRH:quinone oxidoreductase 2 (NQO2) is a cytosolic protein that catalyzes the metabolic reduction of quinones and provides protection against myelogenous hyperplasia and chemical carcinogenesis. NQO2 gene expression is induced in response to antioxidant tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ). Sequence analysis revealed six putative antioxidant response elements (ARE1 through 6) in the human NQO2 gene promoter. Deletion mutagenesis and transfection studies suggested that the ARE region between nucleotides -1433 and -1424 is essential for basal expression and antioxidant induction of NQO2 gene expression. Mutation of this ARE from 3.8 kb NQO2 gene promoter significantly repressed expression and abrogated the induction in response to antioxidant in transfected cells. Band shift, supershift, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays demonstrated binding of nuclear factors Nrf2 and JunD with human NQO2 gene ARE. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed an association between Nrf2 and JunD. Overexpression of Nrf2 upregulated and overexpression of Nrf2 dominant-negative mutant downregulated ARE-mediated NQO2 gene expression. The treatment of Hep-G2 cells with Nrf2-specific RNAi significantly reduced Nrf2 and NQO2 gene expression and tBHQ induction. The results combined demonstrated that Nrf2 associates with JunD, binds to ARE at nucleotide -1433, and regulates human NQO2 gene expression and induction in response to antioxidants. 相似文献

Although it is thought that the major factor responsible for cell damage is reactive oxygen species (ROS), our recent studies have shown that acrolein is more toxic than ROS. Thus, the relative importance of acrolein and ROS in cell damage during brain infarction was compared using photochemically induced thrombosis model mice. The levels of acrolein-conjugated albumin, and of 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE)-conjugated albumin and 8-OHdG were evaluated as indicators of damage produced by acrolein and ROS, respectively. The increase in acrolein-conjugated albumin was much greater than the increase in HNE-conjugated albumin or 8-OHdG, suggesting that acrolein is more strongly involved in cell damage than ROS during brain infarction. It was also shown that infarction led more readily to RNA damage than to DNA or phospholipid damage. As a consequence, polyamines were released from RNA, and acrolein was produced from polyamines, especially from spermine by spermine oxidase. Production of acrolein from spermine by spermine oxidase was clarified using spermine synthase-deficient Gy mice and transglutaminase 2-knockout mice, in which spermine content is negligible or spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase activity is elevated. 相似文献

Treatment of rats with spermidine, spermine or sym-norspermidine led to a substantial induction of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase activity in liver, kidney and lung. The increase in this enzyme, which was determined independently of other acetylases by using a specific antiserum, accounted for all of the increased acetylase activity in extracts from rats treated with these polyamines. Spermine was the most active inducer, and the greatest effect was seen in liver. Liver spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase activity was increased about 300-fold within 6 h of treatment with 0.3 mmol/kg doses of spermine; activity in kidney increased 30-fold and activity in the lung 15-fold under these conditions. The increased spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase activity led to a large increase in the liver putrescine content and a decline in spermidine. These changes are due to the oxidation by polyamine oxidase of the N1-acetylspermidine formed by the acetyltransferase. Our results indicated that spermidine was the preferred substrate in vivo of the acetylase/oxidase pathway for the conversion of the higher polyamines into putrescine. The induction of the spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase by polyamines may provide a mechanism by which excess polyamines can be removed. 相似文献

The Nrf2-Keap1 system coordinately regulates cytoprotective gene expression via the antioxidant responsive element (ARE). The expression of several ARE-regulated genes was found to be up-regulated in endothelial cells by laminar shear stress, suggesting that Nrf2 contributes to the anti-atherosclerosis response via the ARE. To gain further insight into the roles that Nrf2 plays in the development of atherosclerosis, we examined how Nrf2 regulates gene expression in response to anti-atherogenic laminar flow (L-flow) or pro-atherogenic oscillatory flow (O-flow). Exposure of human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) to L-flow, but not to O-flow, induced the expression of cytoprotective genes, such as NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) by 5-fold and heme oxygenase-1 by 8-fold. The critical contribution of Nrf2 to the expression induced by L-flow was ascertained in siRNA-mediated knock-down experiments. Two cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) specific inhibitors attenuated Nrf2 nuclear accumulation in the acute phase of L-flow exposure. A downstream product of COX-2, 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), activated the Nrf2 regulatory pathway in HAECs through binding to the cysteines of Keap1. These results demonstrate that 15d-PGJ2 is essential for L-flow to activate Nrf2 and induce anti-atherosclerotic gene expression. Whereas both L-flow and O-flow induced the nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 to comparable levels, chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that Nrf2 binding to the NQO1 ARE was significantly diminished in the case of O-flow compared with that of L-flow. These results suggest that O-flow inhibits Nrf2 activity at the DNA binding step, thereby suppressing athero-protective gene expression and hence predisposing the blood vessels to the formation of atherosclerosis. 相似文献

The standard extract of Ginkgo biloba (EGb) has been demonstrated to possess remarkable antioxidant activity in both cell lines and animals. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this effect is not fully understood. Phase 2 enzymes play important roles in the antioxidant system by reducing electrophiles and reactive oxygen species (ROS). We demonstrated that EGb induced typical phase 2 genes: glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) and glutathione-S-transferase subunit-P1 (GST-P1), by real-time PCR. To investigate the molecular mechanism of this induction, we used quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) -- Antioxidant response element (ARE) reporter assay and found that EGb activated the activity of the wild type but not the one with ARE mutated. It indicated that EGb induced these genes through ARE, a cis-acting motif located in the promoter region of nearly all phase 2 genes. Since nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) binds ARE to enhance the expression of phase 2 genes, we detected the Nrf2 content in nucleus and found an accumulation of Nrf2 stimulated by EGb. In a further test of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), the repression protein of Nrf2 in the cytosol under resting condition, we found that Keap1 content was inhibited by EGb and then more Nrf2 would be released to translocate into nucleus. Thus, EGb was testified for the first time to induce the phase 2 genes through the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway, which is (or part of) the antioxidant mechanism of EGb. 相似文献

Selenium deficiency activates mouse liver Nrf2-ARE but vitamin E deficiency does not 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Selenium (Se) and vitamin E are antioxidant micronutrients. Se functions through selenoproteins and vitamin E reacts with oxidizing molecules in membranes. The relationship of these micronutrients with the Nrf2-antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway was investigated using ARE-reporter mice and Nrf2-/- mice. Weanling males were fed Se-deficient (0 Se), vitamin E-deficient (0 E), or control diet for 16 or 22 weeks. The ARE reporter was elevated 450-fold in 0 Se liver but was not elevated in 0 E liver. Antioxidant enzymes induced by Nrf2-ARE (glutathione S-transferase (GST), NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQOR), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)) were elevated in 0 Se livers but not in 0 E livers. Deletion of Nrf2 had varying effects on the inductions, with GST induction being abolished by it but induction of NQOR and HO-1 still occurring. Thus, Se deficiency, but not vitamin E deficiency, induces a number of enzymes that protect against oxidative stress and modify xenobiotic metabolism through Nrf2-ARE and other stress-response pathways. We conclude that Se deficiency causes cytosolic oxidative stress but that vitamin E deficiency does not. This suggests that the oxidant defense mechanisms in which these antioxidant nutrients function are independent of one another. 相似文献

DDO-7204 is a novel Nrf2 activator first identified through screening of in-house database by ARE-luciferase reporter gene assay. To further optimize this kind of Nrf2 activators efficiently, the hit-based substructure search was applied to screen the Specs database virtually. DDO-7204 contains three rings of A, B, C. SAR results showed that: for ring A, the cyclane substituent is beneficial for ARE inductivity. Enhanced flexibility of linker between ring A and ring B is not preferable for the Nrf2 activity. Ring A replaced by heterocyclic aromatic is beneficial for the Nrf2 activity. The resulting compound 7 was more potent than DDO-7204. Compound 7 can induce Nrf2 translocation into nuclear not only in HCT116 cells, but also in three normal cells such as L02, NCM460 and PC12 cells. The Nrf2-regualted genes, γ-GCS, NQO1 and HO-1, were up-regulated at a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, compound 7 showed cytoprotective effects on the three normal cells against the damage of H2O2. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial cells respond to nitric oxide by activating MAPK pathways and upregulating stress-activated proteins such as gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Since consensus sequences for the antioxidant response element (ARE) are found in the promoters of the gamma-GCS and HO-1 genes, we examined nuclear translocation of Nrf2, a CNC-bZIP protein which binds to and activates the ARE. We found a dramatic increase in Nrf2 nuclear translocation 1-8h following the nitric oxide donor spermine NONOate. Translocation was inhibited by pretreatment of cells with N-acetylcysteine suggesting involvement of an oxidative mechanism in this response. Translocation was also blocked by PD 98059 and SB 203580, inhibitors of ERK and p38 pathways, respectively. In addition to effects on Nrf2 subcellular localization, spermine NONOate increased Nrf2 protein levels by a mechanism which was inhibited by PD 98059. Pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine, PD 98059, and SB 203580 decreased HO-1 upregulation in spermine NONOate-treated cells. These results suggest that ERK and p38 pathways may regulate nitric oxide-mediated adaptive responses in vascular endothelium via translocation of Nrf2 and activation of the ARE. 相似文献
