Mitochondrial oxidative stress significantly contributes to the underlying pathology of several devastating neurodegenerative disorders. Mitochondria are highly sensitive to the damaging effects of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species; therefore, these organelles are equipped with a number of free radical scavenging systems. In particular, the mitochondrial glutathione (GSH) pool is a critical antioxidant reserve that is derived entirely from the larger cytosolic pool via facilitated transport. The mechanism of mitochondrial GSH transport has not been extensively studied in the brain. However, the dicarboxylate (DIC) and 2-oxoglutarate (OGC) carriers localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane have been established as GSH transporters in liver and kidney. Here, we investigated the role of these carriers in protecting neurons from oxidative and nitrosative stress. Immunoblot analysis of DIC and OGC in primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) and cerebellar astrocytes showed differential expression of these carriers, with CGNs expressing only DIC and astrocytes expressing both DIC and OGC. Consistent with these findings, butylmalonate specifically reduced mitochondrial GSH in CGNs, whereas both butylmalonate and phenylsuccinate diminished mitochondrial GSH in astrocytes. Moreover, preincubation with butylmalonate but not phenylsuccinate significantly enhanced susceptibility of CGNs to oxidative and nitrosative stressors. This increased vulnerability was largely prevented by incubation with cell-permeable GSH monoethylester but not malate. Finally, knockdown of DIC with adenoviral siRNA also rendered CGNs more susceptible to oxidative stress. These findings demonstrate that maintenance of the mitochondrial GSH pool via sustained mitochondrial GSH transport is essential to protect neurons from oxidative and nitrosative stress. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is implicated in several pathologies such as AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease, as well as in normal aging. As a model system to study the response of cells to oxidative insults, glutamate toxicity on a mouse nerve cell line, HT-22, was examined. Glutamate exposure kills HT-22 via a nonreceptor-mediated oxidative pathway by blocking cystine uptake and causing depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH), leading to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and, ultimately, apoptotic cell death. Several HT-22 subclones that are 10-fold resistant to exogenous glutamate were isolated and the mechanisms involved in resistance characterized. The expression levels of neither heat shock proteins nor apoptosis-related proteins are changed in the resistant cells. In contrast, the antioxidant enzyme catalase, but not glutathione peroxidase nor superoxide dismutase, is more highly expressed in the resistant than in the parental cells. In addition, the resistant cells have enhanced rates of GSH regeneration due to higher activities of the GSH metabolic enzymes γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase and GSH reductase, and GSH S-transferases activities are also elevated. As a consequence of these alterations, the glutamate resistant cells are also more resistant to organic hydroperoxides and anticancer drugs that affect these GSH enzymes. These results indicate that resistance to apoptotic oxidative stress may be acquired by coordinated changes in multiple antioxidant pathways. 相似文献

The inhibition of glutathione (GSH) synthesis by
-buthionine-SR-sulfoximine (BSO) causes aggravation of hepatotoxicity of paraquat (PQ), an oxidative-stress inducing substance, in mice. On the other hand, synthesis of metallothionein (MT), a cysteine-rich protein having radical scavenging activity, is induced by PQ, and the induction by PQ is significantly enhanced by pretreatment of mice with BSO. The purpose of present study is to examine whether generation of reactive oxygens is involved in the induction of MT synthesis by PQ under inhibition of GSH synthesis. Administration of PQ to BSO-pretreated mice increased hepatic lipid peroxidation and frequency of DNA single strand breakage followed by manifestation of the liver injury and induction of MT synthesis. Both vitamin E and deferoxamine prevented MT induction as well as lipid peroxidation in the liver of mice caused by administration of BSO and PQ. In cultured colon 26 cells, both cytotoxicity and the increase in MT mRNA level caused by PQ were significantly enhanced by pretreatment with BSO. Facilitation of PQ-induced reactive oxygen generation was also observed by BSO treatment. These results suggest that reactive oxygens generated by PQ under inhibition of GSH synthesis may stimulate MT synthesis. GSH depletion markedly increased reactive oxygen generation induced by PQ, probably due to the reduced cellular capability to remove the radical species produced. 相似文献

Role of Oxidative Stress and the Glutathione System in Loss of Dopamine Neurons Due to Impairment of Energy Metabolism 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Abstract: Alterations in the glutathione system and impairment in energy metabolism have both been implicated in the loss of dopamine neurons in Parkinson's disease. This study examined the importance of cellular glutathione and the involvement of oxidative stress in the loss of mesencephalic dopamine and GABA neurons due to inhibition of energy metabolism with malonate, the reversible, competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase. Consistent with previous findings, exposure to malonate for 24 h followed by 48 h of recovery caused a dose-dependent loss of the dopamine population with little effect on the GABA population. Toxicity was assessed by simultaneous measurement of the high-affinity uptake of [3H]dopamine and [14C]GABA. Total glutathione content in rat mesencephalic cultures was decreased by 65% with a 24-h pretreatment with 10 µM buthionine sulfoxamine. This reduction in glutathione level greatly potentiated damage to both the dopamine and GABA populations and removed the differential susceptibility between the two populations in response to malonate. These findings point to a role for oxidative stress occurring during energy impairment by malonate. Consistent with this, several spin-trapping agents, α-phenyl-tert-butyl nitrone and two cyclic nitrones, MDL 101,002 and MDL 102,832, completely prevented malonate-induced damage to the dopamine neurons in the absence of buthionine sulfoxamine. The spin-trapping agents also completely prevented toxicity to both the dopamine and GABA populations when cultures were exposed to malonate after pretreatment with buthionine sulfoxamine to reduce glutathione levels. Counts of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons verified enhancement of cell loss by buthionine sulfoxamine plus malonate and protection against cell loss by the spin-trapping agents. NMDA receptors have also been shown to play a role in malonate-induced dopamine cell loss and are associated with the generation of free radicals. Consistent with this, toxicity to the dopamine neurons due to a 1-h exposure to 50 µM glutamate was attenuated by the nitrone spin traps. These findings provide evidence for an oxidative challenge occurring during inhibition of energy metabolism by malonate and show that glutathione is an important neuroprotectant for midbrain neurons during situations when energy metabolism is impaired. 相似文献

The effect of x-rays on GSH and GSSG levels in blood was studied in mice and humans. An HPLC method that we recently developed was applied to accurately determine GSSG levels in blood. The glutathione redox status (GSH/GSSG) decreases after irradiation. This effect is mainly due to an increase in GSSG levels. Mice received single fraction radiotherapy, at total doses of 1.0 to 7.0 Gy. Changes in GSSG in mouse blood can be detected 10 min after irradiation and last for 6 h within a range of 2.0–7.0 Gy. The highest levels of GSSG (20.1 ± 2.9
), a 4.7-fold increase as compared with controls) in mouse blood are found 2 h after radiation exposure (5 Gy). Breast and lung cancer patients received fractionated radiotherapy at total doses of 50.0 or 60.0 Gy, respectively. GSH/GSSG also decreases in humans in a dose–response fashion. Two reasons may explain the radiation-induced increase in blood GSSG: (a) the reaction of GSH with radiation-induced free radicals resulting in the formation of thyl radicals that react to produce GSSG; and (b) an increase of GSSG release from different organs (e.g., the liver) into the blood. Our results indicate that the glutathione redox ratio in blood can be used as an index of radiation-induced oxidative stress. © 1997 Elsevier Science Inc. 相似文献

The relationship between glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and opsonized zymosan-induced chemiluminescence (CL) has been studied with exudate leukocytes obtained at different times after induction of inflammatory responses in the mouse peritoneal cavity with heat-killed Corynebacterium parvum and in the rat pleural cavity with I-carrageenin. GSH-Px activity in mouse peritoneal exudate cells fell markedly after 2–4h, returning to normal within 1–2 days. The lowered enzyme activity was associated with an increased ability of the cells to generate CL. Rat pleural exudate cells exhibited a slight fall in GSH-Px activity after 6h which increased to supranormal levels within 1–2 days. During this period the ability of the cells to generate CL continually increased. The data indicate that during the early phase of increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by inflammatory leukocytes, the intracellular protective mechanism, represented by GSH-Px, is compromised. Subsequently, GSH-Px activity increases to or above initial levels possibly due to the presence of mononuclear cells and/or as a response to the increased generation of ROS. 相似文献

The glutathione S-transferase (GST) supergene family comprises gene families that encode isoenzymes that are widely expressed in mammalian tissue cytosols and membranes. Both cytosolic (particularly the isoenzymes encoded by the alpha, mu and theta gene families) and microsomal GST catalyse the conjugation of reduced glutathione (GSH) with a wide variety of electrophiles which include known carcinogens as well as various compounds that are products of oxidative stress including oxidised DNA and lipid. Indeed, several lines of evidence suggest certain of these isoenzymes play a pivotal role in protecting cells from the consequences of such stress. An assessment of the importance of these GST in humans is presently difficult however, because the number of alpha and theta class genes is not known and, the catalytic preferences of even identified isoforms is not always clear. 相似文献

l-DOPA Up-Regulates Glutathione and Protects Mesencephalic Cultures Against Oxidative Stress 总被引:11,自引:4,他引:7
Abstract: Incubation with l -DOPA induced a rise in GSH level in cultures of fetal rat mesencephalon, mouse neuroblastoma (Neuro-2A), human neuroblastoma (SK-N-MC), pig kidney epithelial cells (LLC-PK1 ), and glia from newborn rat brain, but not C6 glioma cells or neuronal cultures (no glia) from the mesencephalon. The pure neuronal cultures were destroyed by incubation with l -DOPA; added ascorbic acid or superoxide dismutase protected the cells. Washout of l -DOPA after 48 h amplified the rise in GSH content in mixed cultures (neurons plus glia). Examination of structure-activity relationships for elevating GSH levels in responsive cell types revealed that autooxidizable compounds (α-methyl-DOPA, dopamine, apomorphine, catechol, and hydroquinone) behaved similarly to l -DOPA, whereas structural analogues that cannot undergo autooxidation (3- O -methyl-DOPA, tyrosine, 2,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, and resorcinol) failed to elevate GSH levels. Therefore, up-regulation of GSH appears to be a response to a mild oxidative stress. When mixed mesencephalic cultures were exposed to a strong oxidant stress by incubation with tert -butyl hydroperoxide, a loss in viability was seen. Cultures pretreated with l -DOPA or hydroquinone were protected from loss of viability. However, when cultures were pretreated with both l -DOPA and ascorbate, which prevents the rise in GSH level, protection was lost, in accord with the failure to up-regulate GSH. These results show that the up-regulation of cellular GSH evoked by autooxidizable agents is associated with significant protection of cells. Glia play an essential role in the response of mesencephalic cell cultures. An ability to up-regulate GSH may serve a protective role in vivo. 相似文献

HIV-infected cells often exhibit reduced levels of antioxidant enzymes and thiols. To investigate the role of cellular antioxidant defenses in the progression of an acutely spreading HIV-1 infection, human Sup-T1 T cells were engineered to overexpress the selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase, GSHPx-1. This enzyme represents a major cellular defense mechanism against toxicity associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS). T cells engineered to produce elevated GSHPx-1 activity displayed accelerated viral replication and associated cytopathic effects compared to control cells. Conversely, the inhibition of the synthesis of glutathione with buthione sulfoximine (BSO) resulted in the attenuation of viral replication in Sup-T1 cells. Similarly, exposure of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) to low, nontoxic levels of BSO resulted in an approximately 80% decline in HIV-1 replication as indicated by Western blot analysis of viral proteins. 相似文献

Oxidative influence on development and differentiation: An overview of a free radical theory of development 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Metabolic gradients exist in developing organisms and are believed to influence development. It has been postulated that the effects of these gradients on development result from differential oxygen supplies to tissues. Oxygen has been found to influence the course of development. Cells and tissues in various stages of differentiation exhibit discrete changes in their antioxidant defenses and in parameters of oxidation. Metabolically generated oxidants have been implicated as one factor that directs the initiation of certain developmental events. Also implicated as factors that modulate developmental processes are the cellular distribution of ions and the cytoskeleton both of which can be influenced by oxidants. The interaction of oxidants with ion balance and cytoskeleton is discussed. 相似文献

Copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) transgenic mice overexpress the gene for human CuZn-SOD. To assess the effects of the overexpression of CuZn-SOD on the brain scavenging systems, we have measured the activities of manganese-SOD (Mn-SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in various regions of the mouse brain. In nontransgenic mice, cytosolic CuZn-SOD activity was highest in the caudate-putamen complex; this was followed by the brainstem and the hippocampus. The lowest activity was observed in the cerebellum. In transgenic mice, there were significant increases of cytosolic CuZn-SOD activity in all of these regions, with ratios varying from a twofold increase in the brainstem to 3.42-fold in the cerebellum in comparison with nontransgenic mice. Particulate Mn-SOD was similarly distributed in all brain regions, and its levels also were significantly increased in superoxide dismutase (SOD)-transgenic mice. In the brains of nontransgenic mice, cytosolic catalase activity was similar in all brain regions except the cortex, which showed less than 50% of the activity observed in the other regions. In transgenic mice, cytosolic catalase activity was significantly increased, with the cortex showing the greatest changes (133%) in comparison with nontransgenic mice. The smallest increases were observed in the hippocampus (34%). In contrast to what was observed for SOD and catalase, there were no significant changes in cytosolic GSH-Px activity in any of the brain regions examined. The present results indicate that, in addition to displaying marked increases in the levels of brain CuZn-SOD activity, SOD-transgenic mice also exhibit increases in other enzymes that scavenge oxygen-based radicals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Unsaturated lipid oxidation is a fundamental process involved in different aspects of cellular bioenergetics; dysregulation of lipid oxidation is often associated with cell aging and death. To study how lipid oxidation affects membrane biophysics, we used a chlorin photosensitizer to oxidize vesicles of various lipid compositions and degrees of unsaturation in a controlled manner. We observed different shape transitions that can be interpreted as an increase in the area of the targeted membrane followed by a decrease. These area modifications induced by the chemical modification of the membrane upon oxidation were followed in situ by Raman tweezers microspectroscopy. We found that the membrane area increase corresponds to the lipids’ peroxidation and is initiated by the delocalization of the targeted double bonds in the tails of the lipids. The subsequent decrease of membrane area can be explained by the formation of cleaved secondary products. As a result of these area changes, we observe vesicle permeabilization after a time lag that is characterized in relation with the level of unsaturation. The evolution of photosensitized vesicle radius was measured and yields an estimation of the mechanical changes of the membrane over oxidation time. The membrane is both weakened and permeabilized by the oxidation. Interestingly, the effect of unsaturation level on the dynamics of vesicles undergoing photooxidation is not trivial and thus carefully discussed. Our findings shed light on the fundamental dynamic mechanisms underlying the oxidation of lipid membranes and highlight the role of unsaturations on their physical and chemical properties. 相似文献

Hardly Increased Oxidative Stress After Exposure to Low Temperature in Chilling-Acclimated and Non-Acclimated Maize Leaves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Abstract: Seedlings of Zea mays L. were grown at optimal (25 °C) and suboptimal (15 °C) temperature and then exposed to severe chilling temperature (6 °C) at their growth light intensity (450 ìmol quanta m−2 s−1 ) for 4 d. Photosynthetic parameters, hydrogen peroxide, antioxidant contents, and activity of scavenging enzymes were investigated before, during, and after chilling stress. This stress caused a stronger reduction in photosynthetic activity, maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II primary photochemistry ( F v / F m ), and catalase activity in plants which had been grown at 25 °C rather than at 15 °C. Maize plants grown at suboptimal temperature de-epoxidized their xanthophyll cycle pool to a greater extent and exhibited a faster recovery from chilling stress than plants which had not been acclimated to chilling. Antioxidant content, activity of scavenging enzymes, with the exception of catalase, hydrogen peroxide formation, and the size of the xanthophyll cycle pool were hardly affected by chilling stress. However, chilling induced a temporary increase in the glutathione content and triggered the synthesis of á-tocopherol during the phase of recovery at 25 °C. The results indicate that leaves respond to chilling stress by down-regulation of photosystem II accompanied by de-epoxidation of the xanthophyll cycle pool, probably to prevent enhanced formation of superoxide radicals at photosystem I and, consequently, other reactive oxygen species. 相似文献

It is well known that oxidation caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a major cause of cellular damage and death and
has been implicated in cancer, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular diseases. Small-molecule antioxidants containing sulfur
and selenium can ameliorate oxidative damage, and cells employ multiple antioxidant mechanisms to prevent this cellular damage.
However, current research has focused mainly on clinical, epidemiological, and in vivo studies with little emphasis on the
antioxidant mechanisms responsible for observed sulfur and selenium antioxidant activities. In addition, the antioxidant properties
of sulfur compounds are commonly compared to selenium antioxidant properties; however, sulfur and selenium antioxidant activities
can be quite distinct, with each utilizing different antioxidant mechanisms to prevent oxidative cellular damage. In the present
review, we discuss the antioxidant activities of sulfur and selenium compounds, focusing on several antioxidant mechanisms,
including ROS scavenging, glutathione peroxidase, and metal-binding antioxidant mechanisms. Findings of several recent clinical,
epidemiological, and in vivo studies highlight the need for future studies that specifically focus on the chemical mechanisms
of sulfur and selenium antioxidant behavior. 相似文献
