24-表油菜素内酯对干旱胁迫下辣椒幼苗叶片抗氧化酶系统及耐旱相关基因表达的影响

报道了干旱胁迫下外源24-表油菜素内酯（EBR）对辣椒幼苗叶片H₂O₂和MDA含量,抗氧化酶活性,以及耐旱相关基因表达的影响。结果表明,0.1 μmol·L^-1 EBR处理诱导了辣椒幼苗叶片H₂O₂含量的增加,并提高了SOD、APX、CAT、DHAR、MDAR和GR活性;干旱胁迫下,EBR处理显著诱导了辣椒叶片抗氧化酶活性的增加,并抑制了H₂O₂和MDA含量的上升;EBR处理也促进了cAPX和MDAR等抗氧化酶基因的表达,以及WRKY3、WRKY6和MYB等转录因子的表达。由此认为,适宜浓度的外源EBR可能是通过信号分子H₂O₂调控辣椒叶片中WRKY和MYB等转录因子的表达以调控相关耐旱基因表达,增强细胞的抗氧化酶活性,减轻干旱造成的膜质过氧化伤害,从而增强了辣椒幼苗的耐旱性。     

氢气生物学及其医学应用

近年来的研究发现,氢气可以有效抑制体内的部分活性氧,继而产生抗氧化效应,在动物实验中显示出对多种氧化应激相关疾病的良好防治作用,并在初步的临床试验中取得类似的防治效果。有关氢气生物学效应的报道从少到多,在生物医学领域展现出广阔的应用前景。目前,氢气防治疾病的作用机制尚不清楚,氢气防治多种疾病的现象难以解释,不少研究者认为氢气可能是继一氧化氮(NO)、一氧化碳(CO)和硫化氢(H2S)等气体之后又一个具有重要生物活性的气体分子,在疾病防治方面可能具有独特的发展优势。本文围绕氢气生物学效应的发现,以及氢气对缺血再灌注损伤的防治作用、对电离辐射损伤的防护效应、对炎症性疾病的防治作用、对代谢性和神经退行性疾病的作用、对减轻药物诱导损伤的影响和氢气生物学效应的分子机制等方面的研究进展,做一系统概述。

过氧化氢酶在植物生长发育和胁迫响应中的功能研究进展

过氧化氢酶(catalase, CAT)作为过氧化氢(hydrogen peroxide, H₂O₂)的清除酶在植物生长发育和胁迫响应中扮演着十分重要的角色。CAT的功能受到严格调控,其在正常条件下维持适当浓度的H₂O₂作为信号分子以保证植物的生长发育;在胁迫下保持H₂O₂稳态以增强植物耐逆性。本文对近年来CAT在植物生长发育和胁迫响应中的功能研究进展予以综述,特别是翻译后修饰和亚细胞定位对CAT功能的调控,并对植物CAT的调控机理研究进行了展望。     

黑腹果蝇white基因在H2O2影响下卷翅形成中的作用及机理

卷翅是果蝇遗传学上最常用的标记之一,但卷翅形成的具体机制还不清楚.过去的研究发现,理化刺激影响果蝇卷翅的形成.我们最近研究发现,H₂O₂处理不仅会影响果蝇的羽化率,还会使其出现卷翅现象.本研究通过改变H₂O₂浓度、果蝇培养温度和H₂O₂处理时间,探讨影响黑腹果蝇卷翅形成的具体因素,并对其超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-PX)活力进行检测,探讨H₂O₂对果蝇抗氧化能力的影响.结果表明: 果蝇的羽化率与H₂O₂浓度成反比.温度、H₂O₂浓度和H₂O₂处理时间的改变均会影响果蝇翅的卷曲程度和卷翅果蝇所占的比例.其中white基因突变果蝇对这3种条件反应最明显,mini-white(white基因回复突变)果蝇却可以拯救该表型,它的反应与野生型OR相似.H₂O₂对含Cy基因的果蝇卷翅的形成也有一定的影响,可以加大果蝇翅的卷曲程度.对SOD、CAT和GSH-PX活力检测发现,H₂O₂处理会使果蝇的抗氧化能力降低.实时荧光定量PCR检测发现,H₂O₂处理会导致果蝇基因表达量发生改变.黑腹果蝇卷翅形成是一个十分复杂的过程,H₂O₂可能作为某种信号分子或是间接影响某种因子参与黑腹果蝇的卷翅形成过程.该卷翅形成过程可能与Cy基因导致的果蝇卷翅过程是同一个信号途径,两者也可能是通过不同的模式进行调控的.

添加氧化铁对水稻土中H2、CO2和CH4形成的影响

水稻土是甲烷产生的重要源地.厌氧条件下甲烷的形成与有机质厌氧降解产生的乙酸、H₂和CO₂有关.氧化铁作为电子受体可有效地竞争有机质向甲烷的转化,其抑制作用机理可能与乙酸、H₂和CO₂的有效消耗有关.通过向水稻土泥浆中添加无定形氧化铁和纤铁矿,分别测定了25℃厌氧恒温培养105d过程中的H₂、CO₂和CH₄的浓度变化.结果表明,添加无定形氧化铁及纤铁矿可导致H₂浓度显著降低;无定形氧化铁对H₂消耗的影响明显大于纤铁矿;添加不同氧化铁对CO₂浓度的影响与H₂浓度的变化有相同的趋势;添加氧化铁能显著抑制水稻土中甲烷形成,并导致有机碳的转移发生变化,使得CH₄-C显著降低,气相中CO₂-C量减少,而由土壤泥浆固定的CO₃^2--C量显著增加.     

Activation of murine macrophages by hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide at concentrations from 0.1 to 20 μM enhances phagocytosis and oxidative burst of murine peritoneal macrophages. The activation of these macrophage functions is paralled by prolonged hyperpolarization and a transient increase in cytoplasmic free calcium concentration. All the effects are dose- and time-dependent. The results obtained for H₂O₂ are compared with those for a natural activator, peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucly-phenylalanine. The data demonstrate the ability of small doses of hydrogen peroxide to stimulate macrophages through the intracellular mechanisms of ion transduction.     

Does hydrogen peroxide exist “free” in biological systems?

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) can diffuse far from the site of production to intracellular locations where biological effects may be greater. The diffusion range is extended by H₂O₂ carriers formed spontaneously by hydrogen bonding with monomeric and polymeric compounds, including amino and dicarboxylic acids, peptides, proteins, nucleic acid bases, and nucleosides. Hydrogen peroxide adducts (HPAs) are readily synthesized, e.g., crystalline histidine (His)-H₂O₂ adducts. An equilibrium exists between an adduct-forming compound and H₂O₂. The detection and relative stabilities of HPAs are measured by the degree of decomposition of H₂O₂ as influenced by test compounds in buffered solution competing with glucose or fructose for H₂O₂. The HPAs delay decomposition of H₂O₂ up to several hundredfold. The overall charge on an HPA, i.e., its ability to penetrate cell membranes, influences the cytotoxic and clastogenic effects of H₂O₂. Growth inhibition of Salmonella typhimurium LT₂ by H₂O₂ is enhanced by neutral HPAs but decreased by anionic HPAs. Addition of catalase 1, 10, or 30 min after inoculation of S. typhimurium LT₂ reduces or nearly eliminates partial growth inhibition by H₂O₂, but a neutral HPA, expecially his-H₂O₂, transported H₂O₂ into the cells within 1 min, and in about 10 min completely inhibited growth. The stability of HPAs decreases with increasing pH or increasing temperature, while added Fe(II) in the presence and absence of EDTA accelerates H₂O₂ and HPA decomposition. Calculations indicate H₂O₂ hydrogen bonds with nucleic acid-base pairs with no apparent bond strain and energy stabilization comparable to normal hydrogen bonding.     

Role of Hydroxyl Radicals in Escherzchza Colz Killing Induced by Hydrogen Peroxide

Escherichia coli lethality by hydrogen peroxide is characterized by two modes of killing. In this paper we have found that hydroxyl radicals (OH -) generated by H₂O₂ and intracellular divalent iron are not involved in the induction of mode one lethality (i.e. cell killing produced by concentrations of H₂O₂ lower than 2.5 mM). In fact, the OH radical scavengers, thiourea, ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, and the iron chelator, desferrioxarnine, did not affect the survival of cells exposed to 2.5mM H₂O₂. In addition cell vulnerability to the same H₂O₂ concentration was independent on the intracellular iron content. In contrast, mode two lethality (i.e. cell killing generated by concentrations of H₂O₂ higher than 10mM) was markedly reduced by OH radical scavengers and desferrioxamine and was augmented by increasing the intracellular iron content.

It is concluded that OH. are required for mode two killing of E. coli by hydrogen peroxide.     

油桃花芽破眠过程中H2O2代谢与Ca2+转运的关系

利用化学测定法分析高温、单氰胺和TDZ 3种破眠处理对“曙光”油桃休眠花芽H₂O₂代谢的主要影响,利用非损伤微测技术检测H₂O₂对休眠芽Ca²⁺转运的影响,研究H₂O₂在芽休眠解除过程中的调控作用.结果表明： 在深休眠时期,高温和单氰胺处理均能诱导芽内H₂O₂含量升高和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性降低,并具有显著的破眠作用;TDZ对H₂O₂含量及CAT、过氧化物酶(POD)活性影响不大,破眠效果较差.休眠花芽原基组织钙通道活跃,对外源Ca²⁺呈吸收状态.外源H₂O₂可诱导休眠花芽原基组织Ca²⁺转运发生变化,低浓度H₂O₂降低Ca²⁺吸收速率,高浓度H₂O₂使组织对Ca²⁺的转运由吸收转变为释放.这表明休眠芽内H₂O₂信号和Ca²⁺信号相关联,通过诱导H₂O₂积累调控Ca²⁺信号可能在高温和单氰胺打破休眠的信号转导过程中起重要作用.

Hydrogen sulphide: a novel physiological inhibitor of LDL atherogenic modification by HOCl

Hypochlorite (HOCl), the product of the activated myeloperoxidase/H₂O₂/chloride (MPO/H₂O₂/Cl^- ) system is favored as a trigger of LDL modifications, which may play a pivotal role in early atherogenesis. As HOCl has been shown to react with thiol-containing compounds like glutathione and N-acetylcysteine protecting LDL from HOCl modification, we have tested the ability of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)—which has recently been identified as an endogenous vasorelaxant—to counteract the action of HOCl on LDL. The results show that H₂S could inhibit the atherogenic modification of LDL induced by HOCl, as measured by apolipoprotein alterations. Beside its HOCl scavenging potential, H₂S was found to inhibit MPO (one may speculate that this occurs via H₂S/heme interaction) and destroy H₂O₂. Thus, H₂S may interfere with the reactants and reaction products of the activated MPO/H₂O₂/Cl^-  system. Our data add to the evidence of an anti-atherosclerotic action of this gasotransmitter taking the role of HOCl in the atherogenic modification of LDL into account.     

硫化氢对盐碱胁迫下裸燕麦叶片抗坏血酸-谷胱甘肽循环的调控效应

盐碱胁迫是植物遭受的常见非生物胁迫之一,气体信号硫化氢(H₂S)在植物响应盐碱胁迫中发挥着重要作用。为探讨H₂S对盐碱胁迫下裸燕麦抗坏血酸(AsA)-谷胱甘肽(GSH)循环的调控效应,以品种‘定莜9号’为材料,研究了喷施H₂S供体硫氢化钠(NaHS)或H₂S合成抑制剂羟胺(HA)对盐碱混合胁迫下植株生长、叶片活性氧、膜脂过氧化和AsA-GSH循环中抗氧化物质和关键酶的影响。结果表明: 喷施50 μmol·L^-1 NaHS可缓解50 mmol·L^-1盐碱混合胁迫对裸燕麦生长的抑制,降低超氧阴离子、H₂O₂、丙二醛、氧化型抗坏血酸(DHA)、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)和氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)含量,提高AsA/DHA和GSH/GSSG,而对还原型抗坏血酸(AsA)含量无显著影响。喷施NaHS还提高了盐碱混合胁迫下裸燕麦叶片AsA合成关键酶L-半乳糖脱氢酶(GalDH)和L-半乳糖-1,4-内酯脱氢酶(GalLDH)及AsA-GSH循环中单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDHAR)活性,降低了抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)活性,而对抗坏血酸氧化酶(AO)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性的影响不大。增添HA后部分或完全解除了喷施NaHS的上述作用。这说明H₂S可通过促进AsA合成和增强MDHAR活性提高AsA-GSH循环效率,降低盐碱胁迫对裸燕麦的氧化伤害。     

Trolox protection of myelin membrane in hydrogen peroxide-treated mature oligodendrocytes

Oligodendrocytes have the highest rate of metabolic activity in the brain and are highly vulnerable to oxidative stress. In this work we determined the protective effect of Trolox, a water-soluble analogue of vitamin E, and insulin, a peptide shown to be neuroprotective, in oligodendrocyte lesion induced by hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Exposure of primary cultures of rat oligodendrocytes to H₂O₂ dose-dependently decreased their reducing capacity, as determined by the MTT assay. H₂O₂ (100 μM) had no effect on Bax levels, active-caspase-3, DNA fragmentation or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage. Nevertheless, under these conditions, H₂O₂ decreased the levels of myelin basic protein (MBP), used as a marker for oligodendrocyte myelin membrane. Treatment with insulin alone increased MBP levels, but no changes were observed in the presence of insulin plus H₂O₂. In contrast, incubation with Trolox completely prevented H₂O₂-induced decrease in MBP expression, suggesting that vitamin E analogues may prevent against oligodendrocyte oxidative damage.
