铜锌超氧物歧化酶对几种羟自由基产生系统的影响

应用脱氧核糖降解法研究了ＣｕＺｎ－ＳＯＤ对几种·ＯＨ产生系统的作用机理．结果证明：ＳＯＤ对Ｆｅ（３＋）·Ｏ·Ｈ２Ｏ２系统中·ＯＨ的产生有明显的抑制作用,而失活ＳＯＤ或ＢＳＡ对它的抑制作用不大;在Ｆｅ（２＋）·Ｈ２Ｏ２和ＣＵ（２＋）·Ｈ２Ｏ２系统中,ＳＯＤ、失活ＳＯＤ和ＢＡＳ均能抑制·ＯＨ的产生;在Ｆｅ（２＋）·Ｏ系统中,ＳＯＤ对·ＯＨ产生作用不大,而失活ＳＯＤ或ＢＳＡ对它有明显的抑制作用．由此推测ＳＯＤ对·ＯＨ形成可能有三方面的影响：１．对Ｏ的清除作用,阻断Ｈａｂｅｒ－Ｗｅｉｓｓ反应;２．对金属离子的络合作用,降低·ＯＨ的产额;３．促进Ｈ２Ｏ２的积累,加快Ｆｅｎｔｏｎ反应．

MnSOD基因转染对电离辐射诱发细胞凋亡的调控

电离辐射能诱发超氧阴离子自由基（Ｏ－２·）的产生,同时也是细胞凋亡发生的诱因之一。锰超氧化物歧化酶（ＭｎＳＯＤ）是一种存在于真核细胞线粒体、具有清除Ｏ－２·作用的抗氧化酶。为探讨ＭｎＳＯＤ在辐射诱发细胞凋亡中的作用,采用基因转染技术分别将有义和反义ＭｎＳＯＤｃＤＮＡ真核表达载体直接导入ＣＨＯ细胞,并用此细胞模型研究了ＭｎＳＯＤ对Ｘ射线诱发细胞凋亡的调控。结果发现,稳定表达有义ＭｎＳＯＤ的细胞克隆能明显抑制８ＧｙＸ射线诱发的细胞凋亡,而表达反义ＭｎＳＯＤ的细胞克隆对Ｘ射线诱发的细胞凋亡更加敏感,进一步的研究发现,线粒体膜电位的改变可能是ＭｎＳＯＤ调控细胞凋亡的机制之一。

Copper(II) complexes with an avian prion N-terminal region and their potential SOD-like activity

Potentiometric and spectroscopic (UV-Vis, CD and EPR) studies were carried out on copper(II) complexes with chicken prion protein N-terminal fragments, Ac-(PHNPGY)₄-NH₂, and the mutated residue, Ac-(PHNPGF)₄-NH₂, to assess the role of tyrosine in the copper coordination. Both thermodynamic and spectroscopic results indicate that chicken prion fragments are not able to bind more than two copper ions and only with the involvement of side chain tyrosine groups. The prevailing complex shows one copper ion bound to four imidazole nitrogen atoms in the 1:1 metal to ligand ratio systems. The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of copper(II) complexes with the avian peptides and mammal analogue, Ac-(PHGGGWGQ)₄-NH₂, was also investigated by means of Pulse radiolysis. The copper(II) complexes with avian peptides do not display SOD-like activity, while very low activity has been detected for the copper(II) complexes with mammalian tetraoctarepeat.     

Enhanced secretion and low temperature stabilization of a hyperthermostable and Ca2+-independent alpha-amylase of Geobacillus thermoleovorans by surfactants

AIMS: Selection of suitable surfactants for enhancing and stabilizing alpha-amylase of Geobacillus thermoleovorans. METHODS AND RESULTS: Geobacillus thermoleovorans was cultivated in shake flasks containing 50 ml of starch-yeast extract-tryptone (SYT) medium with/without surfactants. Titres of the enzyme in media were monitored. The enzyme was also preserved at 4 degrees C with/without surfactants and enzyme activities were determined. Among polyethylene glycol (PEGs) of different molecular weights, PEG 8000 (0.5%, w/v) caused a slight increase in the enzyme titre, while Tween-20, Tween-40 and Tween-60 (0.03%, w/v) exerted a significant stimulatory effect on enzyme secretion. In the presence of SDS, Tween-80 and cholic acid (0.03%, w/v), the enzyme production was nearly twofold higher than that in the control. The anionic (SDS, cholic acid) and non-ionic (Tweens) detergents increased the cell membrane permeability, and thus, enhanced alpha-amylase secretion. Furthermore, anionic surfactants exhibited stabilizing effect on the enzyme during preservation at 4 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: PEG 8000 and the ionic detergents (SDS, cholic acid and Tween-80) were more effective in the solubilization of cell membrane components, and enhancing enzyme yields than the cationic detergents such as CTAB (N,Cetyl-N,N,N-trimethyl ammonium bromide). Further, these surfactants were found to stabilize the enzyme at 4 degrees C. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The secretion of Ca2+-independent hyperthermostable alpha-amylase was enhanced in the presence of certain anionic and non-ionic detergents in the medium. Furthermore, the surfactants stabilized the enzyme during preservation at 4 degrees C. The use of this enzyme in starch hydrolysis eliminates the addition of Ca2+ in starch liquefaction and its subsequent removal by ion exchange from sugar syrups.

Can chicken and human PrPs possess SOD-like activity after beta-cleavage?

The prion protein is a membrane attached glycoprotein that is involved in binding of divalent copper ions. In vivo human and chicken PrPs exhibit SOD-like activity associated with octarepeat and hexarepeat regions, respectively, when bind Cu(II) ions. However, the species of Cu(II)-PrP involved in the Cu(II) center which determines the highest SOD-like activity is still unknown. The data presented here clearly show that the single Cu(II) ion bound to PrP octapeptide repeat region of mammalian prion and hexapeptide repeat region of avian prion via 4 His side-chain imidazoles reveals the highest SOD activity.     

Expression of prion protein increases cellular copper binding and antioxidant enzyme activities but not copper delivery

The N-terminal region of the prion protein PrP(C) contains a series of octapeptide repeats. This region has been implicated in the binding of divalent metal ions, particularly copper. PrP(C) has been suggested to be involved in copper transport and metabolism and in cell defense mechanisms against oxidative insult, possibly through the regulation of the intracellular CuZn superoxide dismutase activity (CuZn-SOD) or a SOD-like activity of PrP(C) itself. However, up to now the link between PrP(C) expression and copper metabolism or SOD activity has still to be formally established; particularly because conflicting results have been obtained in vivo. In this study, we report a link between PrP(C), copper binding, and resistance to oxidative stress. Radioactive copper ((64)Cu) was used at a physiological concentration to demonstrate that binding of copper to the outer plasma cell membrane is related to the level of PrP(C) expression in a cell line expressing a doxycycline-inducible murine PrP(C) gene. Cellular PIPLC pretreatment indicated that PrP(C) was not involved in copper delivery at physiological concentrations. We also demonstrated that murine PrP(C) expression increases several antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione levels. Prion protein may be a stress sensor sensitive to copper and able to initiate, following copper binding, a signal transduction process acting on the antioxidant systems to improve cell defenses.

The antioxidant effect of tannic acid on the in vitro copper-mediated formation of free radicals

Tannic acid (TA) has well-described antimutagenic and antioxidant activities. The antioxidant activity of TA has been previously attributed to its capacity to form a complex with iron ions, interfering with the Fenton reaction [Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1472, 1999, 142]. In this work, we observed that TA inhibits, in the micromolar range, in vitro Cu(II) plus ascorbate-mediated hydroxyl radical (*OH) formation (determined as 2-deoxyribose degradation) and oxygen uptake, as well as copper-mediated ascorbate oxidation and ascorbate radical formation (quantified in EPR studies). The effect of TA against 2-deoxyribose degradation was three orders of magnitude higher than classic *OH scavengers, but was similar to several other metal chelators. Moreover, the inhibitory effectiveness of TA, by the four techniques used herein, was inversely proportional to the Cu(II) concentration in the media. These results and the observation of copper-induced changes in the UV spectra of TA are indications that the antioxidant activity of TA relates to its copper chelating ability. Thus, copper ions complexed to TA are less capable of inducing ascorbate oxidation, inhibiting the sequence of reactions that lead to 2-deoxyribose degradation. On the other hand, the efficiency of TA against 2-deoxyribose degradation declined considerably with increasing concentrations of the *OH detector molecule, 2-deoxyribose, suggesting that the copper-TA complex also possesses an *OH trapping activity.     

Copper increases superoxide dismutase activity in rat liver

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in rat liver cytosol and submitochondrial fractions was characterized as enzymatic and nonenzymatic (due to the SOD-like activity of copper) by four approaches: (i) aerobic NBT²⁺ (nitroblue tetrazolium) photoreduction in the absence of EDTA; (ii) aerobic NBT²⁺ photoreduction in the presence of 10^?4m EDTA; (iii) anaerobic NBT²⁺ photoreduction; and (iv) o-dianisidine photooxidation. Under normal conditions nonenzymatic SOD activity has been observed only in the intermembrane space. The single subcutaneous injection of rats with CuSO₄ solution (5 mg Cu/kg body wt) led to (i) an elevation of the copper level in all submitochondrial fractions; (ii) an increase in enzymatic SOD activity in only cytosol and intermembrane spaces; (iii) the appearance of a new electrophoretic SOD activity band in the intermembrane space preparations; and (iv) the appearance of nonenzymatic SOD-like activity in the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, and a twofold increase in lipid hydroperoxides. This suggests that the increased nonenzymatic copper in vivo has a prooxidant effect, and does not catalyze the dismutation of O₂^? as it has been shown in in vitro experiments [E. M. Russanov S. G. Ljutakova, and S. I. Leutcher (1982) Arch. Biochem. Biophys.215, 220–229]. The peculiarities of the SOD activity in the intermembrane space are explained by the lysosomal localization of the granular CuZnSOD.     

The Superoxide Dismutase-Like Activity of Some Copper (II) Complexes Derived from Tridentate Schiff Bases

Oxygen free radicals are the final or intermediate products of many metabolic reactions. Of greatest significance to the organism are superoxide anion radical (O₂-), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), hydroxyl radical (OH). singlet oxygen (^lO₂) etc. A proper ratio between both production and breakdown of oxy-radicals is essential for the maintenance of a dynamic equilibrium of vital processes. The superoxide dismutases protect cells against toxic influence of the superoxide. In addition, some square-pyramidally pentacoordinated copper(II) complexes, derived from tridentate Schiff bases of the N-salicylideneaminoal-canoate type, show remarkable SOD-like activity. A selected set of complexes of this type have been tested: potassium [aqua-(N-salicylideneglutamato) cuprate] (L-and D,L-form). potassium [(isothiocyanato)-(N-salicylideneglycinato) cuprate], potassium [(isothiocyanato)-(N-salicylidene-D,L-alaninato) cuprate]. potassium ((isothiocyanato)-(N-salicylidene-β-alaninato) cuprate] and potassium [(isocyanate)-(N-salicylideneglycinato) cuprate]. Our results suggest that the copper complexes are not only antioxidants, but may also possess anti-inflammatory, cytostatic and radioprotective properties.
