H_2O_2诱导Neuro-2a细胞死亡机理的研究

细胞内线粒体呼吸链过程中的电子漏和神经细胞代谢的酶类如单胺氧化酶(MAO)等可产生活性氧物质(ROS)如H_2O_2等。ROS对细胞有毒性作用,导致细胞死亡,在许多疾病特别是神经退行性疾病中具有重要作用。我们用H_2o_2诱导N-2a神经母细胞瘤细胞,利用光镜、荧光显微镜、透射电镜观察了诱导的N-2a细胞的死亡,结果表明其死亡形式不同于典型的细胞凋亡,而类似于Ⅱ型神经细胞编程性死亡,死亡细胞染色质呈团块状凝集,细胞核膜仍保持完整。DNA不降解形成ladder,且不需要caspase-3,1的活性,但是H_2O_2诱导的Neuro-2a细胞死亡可以被Bcl-X_L,抑制。我们的结果可以说明,ROS介导的细胞毒性作用是导致Ⅱ型神经细胞编程性死亡的一个原因。

以双氢罗丹明123（DHR123）作为荧光探针,采用激光共聚焦扫描显微镜研究小剂量（800nmol/L)H2O2诱导大鼠肝卵细胞株WB－F344细胞内活性氧产生的动态变化过程及其机理。结果发现：（1）小剂量H2O2的一次作用可以引起胞内活性氧的产生;（2）胞内活性氧清除剂N－乙酰－L－半胱氨酸（NAC）处理2h时后,再加入小剂量H2O2,发现胞内活性氧的产生明显减少;（3）用广谱的蛋白激酶抑制剂2－氨基嘌呤（2－AP）、Ca^2 依赖性蛋白激酶（PKC）抑制剂Bisindolylmaleimide Ⅰ、酷氨酸蛋白激酶（TPK）抑制剂Tyrphostin25分别预处理15min后,H2O2诱导的胞内活性氧的产生现象均消失;（4）细胞在无外钙环境下,小剂量H2O2诱导的胞内活性氧的产生明显减少;（5）细胞在无外钙环境下用NAC预处理后,H2O2诱导的胞内活性氧的产生现象消失。结果表明,H2O2可以通过胞内信号转导系统诱使WB细胞胞内活性氧产生,这可能与小剂量H2O2调控细胞生物学功能（如增殖、转化）相关。     

CuCl2胁迫对烟草BY-2悬浮细胞死亡的诱导

本文以不含叶绿体的烟草BY-2悬浮细胞系为实验材料,研究了CuCl2胁迫对BY-2细胞呼吸速率、呼吸途径以及细胞内H2O2和ATP含量的影响。结果表明:0.5mmol·L-1CuCl2胁迫明显导致了烟草BY-2细胞的死亡,引起了胞内H2O2爆发和ATP含量下降,严重抑制了BY-2细胞的总呼吸和交替氧化酶途径(alternative oxidase pathway,AOX)。此外,CuCl2对BY-2细胞的线粒体电子传递具有即时的抑制作用。加入外源腺苷(ATP合成的底物)显著抑制了CuCl2胁迫引起的ATP损耗,并阻止了细胞死亡。上述结果表明CuCl2胁迫导致的ATP损耗在CuCl2诱导烟草BY-2细胞死亡过程中起重要的作用。     

H2O2诱导Neuro—2a细胞死亡机理的研究

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as H2O2, can be produced by enzymes involved in electron leakage of respiration chain in mitochondria, and by neurochemical enzymes such as monoamine oxidase in neural cells. ROS are toxic to cells, and can result in cell death. ROS also play an important role in some diseases, especially in neurodegenerative diseases by yet unknown mechanisms. In the current research, the N-2a neuroblastoma cell was treated with H2O2, and the morphological changes of cell death were characterized. Our results show that N-2a cell death is different from classical apoptosis, but belongs type II nerve cell programmed death, which shows condensed chromatin within intact nuclear envelope and no apoptotic body. The chromatin DNA of dead cells shows no internucleosomal cleavage, as well as no requirement for caspase-3, 1 activity. However, the H2O2-induced N-2a cell death can be inhibited by Bcl-XL. It can be concluded that type II nerve cell death is the result of cell toxicity mediated by ROS. The results pave the way for further research of type II nerve cell death.

科学家发现NO参与了H2O2诱导的水稻叶片细胞死亡过程

叶片是光合作用的主要场所。水稻抽穗后籽粒灌浆所需要的营养物质60%-90%来自叶片的光合作用。叶片的衰老是植物发育过程中必然经历的生命现象,它是植物在长期进化过程中形成的适应性,对植物本身具有重要的生物学意义,然而在农业生产上,叶片早衰则导致其过早丧失光合功能和同化作用,从而显著减少籽粒中干物质的积累,进而

水分胁迫下苹果叶片的H2O2代谢

轻度水分胁迫下苹果叶片Pr迅速升高,CAT活性变化不大,NaHSO3处理能显著降低叶内H2O2含量,表明光呼吸的加强促进了H2O2产生可能是叶内H2O2大量积累的主要原因;中度水分胁迫下叶片AsA含量的下降和Mehler反应的增强都非常明显,DDTC和AsA处理都能有效降低叶内H2O2积累,但MV处理的作用不大,说明叶片H2O2主要来源于Mehler反应,AsA降解造成叶片对H2O2清除能力的下降是其积累的根本原因;严重水分胁迫时,NaHSO3和DDTC都不能有效地减轻叶内H2O2积累,光呼吸和Mehler反应都可能不是H2O2的主要来源。     

H2O2 destruction by ascorbate-dependent systems from chloroplasts

Washed lamellae from isolated spinach chloroplasts exhibited peroxidative activity with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine or ascorbate as electron donors. By heat treatment or by incubation of the chloroplasts with pronase a heat-labile enzymic activity (system A) and a heat-stable non-enzymic peroxidative activity (system B) could be differentiated.System A is membrane-bound, reacts with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine and with ascorbate as electron donors, shows a sharp pH optimum between 7.5 and 8.0 with both substrates and is inhibited competitively by cyanide.The heat-stable factor can be extracted from the chloroplast lamellae by heat treatment, reacts only with ascorbate as electron donor, shows increasing activity with higher pH values but no optimum and is not inhibited by cyanide.Both peroxidative systems in connection with a relatively high concentration of ascorbate in chloroplasts should represent an important tool for the detoxification of H₂O₂ which is produced in these organelles by photosynthetic O₂ reduction.

On-line EPR study of free radicals induced by peroxidase/H2O2 in human low-density lipoprotein

The aim of this study was to use direct electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy at 37 °C and spin trapping techniques to study radical species formed during horseradish peroxidase/H₂O₂-initiated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. Using direct EPR, we obtained evidence for the formation not only of the α-tocopheroxyl radical but also of a protein radical(s), assigned to a tyrosyl radical(s) of apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B-100). Spin trapping with 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane revealed (i) the formation of a mobile adduct with β-hydrogen coupling assigned to a lipid radical and (ii) a partially immobilised adduct detected in LDL as well as in apo B-100, assigned after proteolytic digestion to the trapping of a radical centred on a tertiary carbon atom of an aromatic residue, probably tyrosine. Our results support the hypothesis that radicals are initiators of the oxidative process, and show that their formation is an early event in peroxidase-mediated oxidation. We also tested the effects of resveratrol (RSV), a polyphenolic antioxidant present in red wine. Our data indicate that 1–10 μM RSV is able to accelerate α-tocopherol consumption, conjugated dienes formation and the decay kinetics of LDL-centred radicals. Since phenols are substrates for peroxidases, this result may be ascribed to a RSV-mediated catalysis of peroxidase activity.     

Endogenous H2O2 produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae controls FabF activity

FabF elongation condensing enzyme is a critical factor in determining the spectrum of products produced by the FASII pathway. Its active site contains a critical cysteine-thiol residue, which is a plausible target for oxidation by H₂O₂. Streptococcus pneumoniae produces exceptionally high levels of H₂O₂, mainly through the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-P via pyruvate oxidase (SpxB). We present evidence showing that endogenous H₂O₂ inhibits FabF activity by specifically oxidizing its active site cysteine-thiol residue. Thiol trapping methods revealed that one of the three FabF cysteines in the wild-type strain was oxidized, whereas in an spxB mutant, defective in H₂O₂ production, none of the cysteines was oxidized, indicating that the difference in FabF redox state originated from endogenous H₂O₂. In vitro exposure of the spxB mutant to various H₂O₂ concentrations further confirmed that only one cysteine residue was susceptible to oxidation. By blocking FabF active site cysteine with cerulenin we show that the oxidized cysteine was the catalytic one. Inhibition of FabF activity by either H₂O₂ or cerulenin resulted in altered membrane fatty acid composition. We conclude that FabF activity is inhibited by H₂O₂ produced by S. pneumoniae.     

胞外ATP对AlCl3诱导的细胞死亡过程中胞内H2O2和Ca2+水平的影响及其生理机制分析

该实验以烟草悬浮细胞 BY 2 为材料,在烟草悬浮细胞中分别加入0.05、0.10、0.15、0.20 mmol·L^-1AlCl₃,以等体积去离子水处理的悬浮细胞液为对照,并依据前述实验结果选择0.15 mmol·L^-1 AlCl₃,分别添加5 mmol·L^-1 DMTU(H₂O₂ 抑制剂)、20 μmol·L^-1CaCl₂、15 μmol·L^-1 LaCl₃(Ca²⁺通道抑制剂)和50 μmol·L^-1 ATP设计多项处理,分析胞外ATP(eATP)对铝离子(Al³⁺)胁迫引起的植物细胞死亡及其胞内H₂O₂、Ca²⁺的影响,以揭示Al³⁺胁迫下植物调节细胞死亡的可能机制,进一步扩展对eATP功能的认知。结果显示：(1)随着 AlCl₃ 胁迫浓度的提高,细胞死亡水平和胞内H₂O₂水平上升,而胞内Ca²⁺和eATP水平则逐渐降低。(2)外援施加H₂O₂抑制剂 DMTU(二甲基硫脲)和Ca²⁺能够有效缓解AlCl₃诱导的细胞死亡水平的上升;而Ca²⁺通道抑制剂LaCl₃(三氯化镧)则加剧了AlCl₃胁迫下的细胞死亡。(3)在AlCl₃胁迫下对细胞添加外源ATP,能够缓解AlCl₃胁迫下胞内H₂O₂水平上升和Ca²⁺水平下降的同时,并显著降低AlCl₃胁迫导致的细胞死亡。研究表明, Al³⁺以剂量依赖的模式提升细胞死亡和细胞内H₂O₂的水平并降低胞内Ca²⁺和eATP水平,AlCl₃诱导的细胞死亡受到H₂O₂和Ca²⁺水平变化的调节,eATP可以通过调节H₂O₂与Ca²⁺水平缓解AlCl₃诱导的细胞死亡。推测Al³⁺胁迫可能通过抑制钙离子通道而破坏了细胞内H₂O₂和Ca²⁺之间的协同关系,外源ATP对Al³⁺诱导H₂O₂上升的缓解作用可能是由于其提升了细胞的抗氧化能力。     

Purification of cytochrome c peroxidase for monitoring H2O2 production

One of the most precise methods of determining hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) formation by biological systems is based on measuring the rate of enzyme-substrate complex formation between H₂O₂ and cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP). The main problem with this method is that CCP is not commercially available and has to be prepared in the laboratory. We have modified some currently available methods for purifying a highly active preparation of CCP in about 4 d. It includes a batch extraction of protein using DEAE-sepharose followed by concentration either by lyophilization or by passing the extract through a small DEAE-sepharose column instead of by ultrafiltration. The concentrated preparation is passed through a Sephadex G-75 column and the final CCP crystallized against water. The final preparations had a purity index (PI, ratio of absorbance at 408 nm/280 nm, equivalent to heme/protein ratio) above 1.2. These changes make the overall procedure very simple, preserving enzyme activity and spectral properties. In addition, we point out that special care has to be taken to eliminate cytochrome c from crude CCP extracts. Cytochrome c not only introduces an artifact when determining PI, but is also may act as a hydrogen donor for CCP when monitoring H₂O₂ formation, thus decreasing the sensitivity of this method.
