自由基损伤红细胞膜分子的机理研究

为探明自由基对红细胞膜脂质及蛋白分子损伤机理,本文通过电子自旋共振波谱仪（ＥＳＲ）、激光拉曼波谱仪、圆二色波谱仪（ＣＤ）、显微付立叶变换红外波谱仪（ＭＦＴ－ＩＲ）和表面电子能谱分析系统（ＥＳＣＡ）分别对体外自由基作用３０分钟后,及作用后３小时红细胞膜整体结构、膜蛋白分子及脂质分子进行了分析。结果发现,自由基作用后①红细胞膜中β－胡萝卜素构象由伸展变为卷曲,提示膜整体结构改变,②膜蛋白分子二级结构变化,表现为α螺旋减少和β折叠增加,③膜蛋白分子二硫键与巯基的比例增加（Ｓ－Ｓ／ＳＨ）、亚氨基（ＮＨ）和羰基含量改变,同时蛋白分子的氢键也被破坏（如ＮＨ、ＣＯＨ等基团的减少和ＮＣ、ＣＯ的增加）,④膜脂分子磷氧双键（Ｐ＝Ｏ）成分、羰基成分（Ｃ＝Ｏ）、碳－碳双键（Ｃ＝Ｃ）成分降低;说明自由基导致红细胞膜蛋白及脂质分子化学结构改变是造成膜分子构象及膜整体结构改变的根本原因。３小时后无论是膜蛋白二级结构、二硫键与巯基比或膜脂分子Ｐ＝Ｏ、Ｃ＝Ｏ、Ｃ＝Ｃ不仅没有恢复,反而有加重趋势。这说明了自由基损伤的部分不可逆性

竹红菌甲素对红细胞膜上几种酶光敏失活作用的研究

本文比较了竹红菌甲素对人红细胞膜AchE,GPDH,Na~ -K~ ATPase和Ca~(2 )-Mg~(2 )ATPase的光敏失活能力,结果表明甲素对Ca~(2 )-Mg~(2 )ATPase作用最强,Na~ -K~ ATPase次之,GPDH再次之,AchE最不敏感,甲素还引起膜蛋白巯基氧化,膜脂质过氧化。其中,巯基氧化可能是ATPase光敏失活的主要原因,而脂质过氧化对ATPase活力损伤作用不大。游离GPDH不如与膜结合的GPDH敏感。GSH,NAD分别对ATPase,GPDH有保护作用。膜蛋白的电泳及内源荧光证据表明:在GPDH活力受到严重损伤时,酶结构并未发生剧烈改变。

Vanadyl-and Vanadate-Induced Lipid Peroxidation in Mitochondria and in Phosphatidylcholine Suspensions

Vanadyl (V_(IV)) was found to induce rapidly developing lipid peroxidation in intact and sonicated mitochondria as well as in phosphatidylcholine suspension. The ability of vanadate (V_(V)) to induce lipid peroxidation was much less pronounced compared to that of vanadyl. The peroxidative action of vanadate on phosphatidylcholine much increased in the presence of NADH and ascorbate. Preincubation of vanadate with glucose had the same effect.

Vanadyl-induced lipid peroxidation was not essentially influenced by SOD, catalase and ethanol but was completely inhibited by butylated hydroxytoluene.

All these effects of vanadyl and vanadate are thought to participate in the insulin-like and other biological actions of vanadium.

Tetravalent Vanadium Releases Ferritin Iron which Stimulates Vanadium-Dependent Lipid Peroxidation

The iron storage protein, ferritin, represents a possible source of iron for oxidative reactions in biological systems. It has been shown that superoxide and several xenobiotic free radicals can release iron from ferritin by a reductive mechanism. Tetravalent vanadium (vanadyl) reacts with oxygen to generate superoxide and pentavalent vanadium (vanadate). This led to the hypothesis that vanadyl causes the release of iron from ferritin. Therefore, the ability of vanadyl and vanadate to release iron from ferritin was investigated. Iron release was measured by monitoring the generation of the Fe²⁺-fcrrozine complex. It was found that vanadyl but not vanadate was able to mobilize ferritin iron in a concentration dependent fashion. Initial rates. and iron release over 30 minutes. were unaffected by the addition of superoxide dismutase. Glutathione or vanadate added in relative excess to the concentration of vanadyl, inhibited iron release up to 45%. Addition of ferritin at the concentration used for measuring iron release prevented vanddyl-induced NADH oxidation. Vanadyl promoted lipid peroxidation in phospholipid liposomes. Addition of ferritin to the system stimulated lipid peroxidation up to 50% above that with vanadyl alone. Fcrritin alone did not promote significant levels of lipid peroxidation.

The effects of vanadium compounds on the activation of adenylate cyclase from rat adrenal membrane

In rat adrenal membrane, vanadyl sulfate, but not vanadate, inhibits the nonhydrolyzable GTP analogs-, forskolin- and NaF-stimulated activation process of adenylate cyclase. In these reactions, the half-maximum concentration of vanadyl for inhibition was approx. 0.3 mM. The binding of [3H]guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate to the membrane (Kd = 2 microM) was not affected by vanadyl sulfate under the conditions in which the vanadyl sulfate inhibits the activation process. Also, the binding of ACTH to its receptor was inhibited by neither vanadyl sulfate nor vanadate, and the catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase appears to be unaffected by vanadyl sulfate. When the activation by nonhydrolyzable GTP analog was enhanced by Ca2+, vanadyl sulfate strongly inhibited the activation of adenylate cyclase.     

A vanadate-stimulated NADH oxidase in erythrocyte membrane generates hydrogen peroxide

Summary Oxidation of NADH by rat erythrocyte plasma membrane was stimulated by about 50-fold on addition of decavanadate, but not other forms of vanadate like orthovanadate, metavanadate aad vanadyl sulphate. The vanadate-stimulated activity was observed only in phosphate buffer while other buffers like Tris, acetate, borate and Hepes were ineffective. Oxygen was consumed during the oxidation of NADH and the products were found to be NAD⁺ and hydrogen peroxide. The reaction had a stoichiometry of one mole of oxygen consumption and one mole of H₂O₂ production for every mole of NADH that was oxidized.Superoxide dismutase and manganous inhibited the activity indicating the involvement of superoxide anions. Electron spin resonance in the presence of a spin trap, 5, 5-dimethyl pyrroline N-oxide, indicated the presence of superoxide radicals. Electron spin resonance studies also showed the appearance of V^IV species by reduction of V^V of decavanadate indicating thereby participation of vanadate in the redox reaction. Under the conditions of the assay, vanadate did not stimulate lipid peroxidation in erythrocyte membranes. Extracts from lipid-free preparations of the erythrocyte membrane showed full activity. This ruled out the possibility of oxygen uptake through lipid peroxidation. The vanadate-stimulated NADH oxidation activity could be partially solubilized by treating erythrocyte membranes either with Triton X-100 or sodium cholate. Partially purified enzyme obtained by extraction with cholate and fractionation by ammonium sulphate and DEAE-Sephadex was found to be unstable.     

Effect of vanadium compounds on the lipid organization of liposomes and cell membranes

The influence of vanadate on the adsorption properties of Merocyanine 540 (MC540) to UMR cells was studied by means of specrofluorometry. An increment in the fluorescence was observed in the osteoblasts incubated with 0.1 mM vanadate. This effect could be interpreted in terms of vanadate inhibitory effects on aminotraslocase activity. However, vanadate promotes a similar behavior to that found in UMR 106 cells when it was added to lipid vesicles composed of phosphatidylcholine. The effect of vanadium in different oxidation states, such as vanadate(V) and vanadyl(IV) on lipid membrane properties was examined in large unilamellar vesicles by means of spectrofluorometry employing different probes. Merocyanine 540 and 1,6-diphenylhexatriene were used in order to sense the changes at interfacial and hydrophobic core of membranes, respectively. In contrast to vanadate, vanadyl decreased the fluorescence of MC540. Both vanadium compounds slightly perturbed the hydrocarbon core. The results can be interpreted by the specific adsorption of both compounds on the polar head groups of phospholipid and suggest a possible influence of vanadium compounds on the lipid organization of cell membranes.     

Binding of vanadate to human erythrocyte ghosts and subsequent events

Spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the interaction between vanadate and human erythrocyte ghosts. Direct evidence from ⁵¹V nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies suggested that the monomeric and polymeric vanadate species may bind to the anion binding sites of band 3 protein of the erythrocyte membrane. The results of ⁵¹V NMR studies and the quenching effect of vanadate on the intrinsic fluorescence of the membrane proteins indicated that in the low concentration range of vanadate (<0.6 mm), monomeric vanadate binds mostly to the anion sites of band 3 protein with the dissociation constant close to 0.23 mm. The experiments of sulfhydryl content titration by the method of Ellman and residue sulfhydryl-labeled fluorescence spectroscopies clearly displayed that vanadate reacts directly with sulfhydryl groups. The appearance of the anisotropic election spin resonance (ESR) signal of vanadyl suggests that a small (c. 3%) amount of vanadate was reduced by sulfhydryl groups of membrane proteins. The fluidity and order of intact ghost membrane were reduced by the reaction with vanadate, as shown by the ESR studies employing the protein- and lipid-specific spin labels. It was concluded that although vanadates mainly bind to band 3 protein, a minor part of vanadate may oxidize the residue sulfhydryl groups of membrane proteins, and thus decrease the fluidity of erythrocyte membrane.     

Changes in the fluorescence parameters of bound N-(1-pyrene) maleimide by lipid peroxidation of intestinal brush-border membranes

Using a fluorogenic thiol reagent, N-(1-pyrene)maleimide (NPM), we have examined of lipid peroxidation on the microenvironment around SH groups of the membrane proteins in porcine intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles. The lipid peroxidation of the membranes was performed with various concentrations of t-butylhydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) in the presence of 100 microM ascorbic acid and 10 microM Fe2+. Treatment of NPM-labeled membranes with these oxidizing agents resulted in a decrease of the fluorescence lifetime, suggesting modification of the environmental properties around the bound dye. Measurement of the steady-state fluorescence anisotropy of the labeled membranes indicated restriction of the motion of the bound dye by the lipid peroxidation membranes. This interpretation was further supported by an elevation of the transition temperature of the anisotropy, a decrease in the quenching rate constant of the fluorescence with acrylamide and a decrease in the SH reactivity of the membrane proteins for NPM by lipid peroxidation. Based on these results, the possibility of conformation changes in the vicinity of SH groups in the membrane proteins associated with lipid peroxidation has been discussed.     

Inhibition by vanadyl of adenylate cyclase activation reactions in rat adrenal membranes

In rat adrenal dispersed cells, both vanadyl and vanadate inhibited ACTH-stimulated steroidogenesis and the formation of cAMP, whereas these compounds did not inhibit the cAMP-dependent steroidogenesis. Then, the membrane fraction was prepared and activated by various secretagogues including ACTH, Gpp(NH)p, GTP gamma S, and forskolin. The cyclase activity was inhibited by vanadyl but not by vanadate in the presence of these stimulators. Based on these results, we conclude that cationic vanadyl acts against a metal-requiring step in the adenylate cyclase system containing G-protein and the catalytic subunit. In addition, we believe that vanadyl is a useful tool to investigate adenylate cyclase systems.
