Increased cellular levels of reactive oxygen species are known to arise during exposure of organisms to elevated metal concentrations, but the consequences for cells in the context of metal toxicity are poorly characterized. Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, combined with immunodetection of protein carbonyls, we report here that exposure of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to copper causes a marked increase in cellular protein carbonyl levels, indicative of oxidative protein damage. The response was time dependent, with total-protein oxidation peaking approximately 15 min after the onset of copper treatment. Moreover, this oxidative damage was not evenly distributed among the expressed proteins of the cell. Rather, in a similar manner to peroxide-induced oxidative stress, copper-dependent protein carbonylation appeared to target glycolytic pathway and related enzymes, as well as heat shock proteins. Oxidative targeting of these and other enzymes was isoform-specific and, in most cases, was also associated with a decline in the proteins' relative abundance. Our results are consistent with a model in which copper-induced oxidative stress disables the flow of carbon through the preferred glycolytic pathway, and promotes the production of glucose-equivalents within the pentose phosphate pathway. Such re-routing of the metabolic flux may serve as a rapid-response mechanism to help cells counter the damaging effects of copper-induced oxidative stress. 相似文献

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a blister-producing chemical warfare agent which could lead to a cascade of systemic damage, especially severe acute lung injury. Oxidative stress is considered to be vital processes for the SM toxicity mechanism. We previously proved the therapeutic effect of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells in promoting the repair of alveolar epithelial barrier and inhibiting apoptosis. However, the key functional components in exosomes and the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elaborated. This research shed light on the function of the key components of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (HMSCs-Ex). We noted that HMSCs-Ex-derived miR-199a-5p played a vital role in reducing pneumonocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis by reducing reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation products and increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes in BEAS-2B cells and mouse models after exposure to SM for 24 h. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the overexpression of miR-199a-5p in HMSCs-Ex treatment induced a further decrease of Caveolin1 and the activation of the mRNA and protein level of NRF2, HO1 and NQO1, compared with HMSCs-Ex administration. In summary, miR-199a-5p was one of the key molecules in HMSCs-Ex that attenuated SM-associated oxidative stress via regulating CAV1/NRF2 signalling pathway. 相似文献

Sulfur Mustard (SM) is a vesicant chemical warfare agent, which is acutely toxic to a variety of organ systems including skin, eyes, respiratory system and bone marrow. The underlying molecular pathomechanism was mainly attributed to the alkylating properties of SM. However, recent studies have revealed that cellular responses to SM exposure are of more complex nature and include increased protein expression and protein modifications that can be used as biomarkers. In order to confirm already known biomarkers, to detect potential new ones and to further elucidate the pathomechanism of SM, we conducted large-scale proteomic experiments based on a human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) exposed to SM. Surprisingly, our analysis identified glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as one of the up-regulated proteins after exposure of HaCaT cells to SM. In this paper we demonstrate the sulfur mustard induced nuclear translocation of GAPDH in HaCaT cells by 2D gel-electrophoresis (2D GE), immunocytochemistry (ICC), Western Blot (WB) and a combination thereof. 2D GE in combination with MALDI-TOF MS/MS analysis identified GAPDH as an up-regulated protein after SM exposure. Immunocytochemistry revealed a distinct nuclear translocation of GAPDH after exposure to 300 μM SM. This finding was confirmed by fractionated WB analysis. 2D GE and subsequent immunoblot staining of GAPDH demonstrated two different spot locations of GAPH (pI 7.0 and pI 8.5) that are related to cytosolic or nuclear GAPDH respectively. After exposure to 300 μM SM a significant increase of nuclear GAPDH at pI 8.5 occurred. Nuclear GAPDH has been associated with apoptosis, detection of structural DNA alterations, DNA repair and regulation of genomic integrity and telomere structure. The results of our study add new aspects to the pathophysiology of sulfur mustard toxicity, yet further studies will be necessary to reveal the specific function of nuclear GAPDH in the pathomechanism of sulfur mustard. 相似文献

Employing mouse skin epidermal JB6 cells and dermal fibroblasts, here we examined the mechanisms of DNA damage by 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), a monofunctional analog of sulfur mustard (SM). CEES exposure caused H2A.X and p53 phosphorylation as well as p53 accumulation in both cell types, starting at 1 h, that was sustained for 24 h, indicating a DNA-damaging effect of CEES, which was also confirmed and quantified by alkaline comet assay. CEES exposure also induced oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage in both cell types, measured by an increase in mitochondrial and cellular reactive oxygen species and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels, respectively. In the studies distinguishing between oxidative and direct DNA damage, 1 h pretreatment with glutathione (GSH) or the antioxidant Trolox showed a decrease in CEES-induced oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage. However, only GSH pretreatment decreased CEES-induced total DNA damage measured by comet assay, H2A.X and p53 phosphorylation, and total p53 levels. This was possibly due to the formation of GSH–CEES conjugates detected by LC-MS analysis. Together, our results show that CEES causes both direct and oxidative DNA damage, suggesting that to rescue SM-caused skin injuries, pleiotropic agents (or cocktails) are needed that could target multiple pathways of mustard skin toxicities. 相似文献

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a potent vesicating agent that produces debilitating blisters and ulcerating lesions on the skin which are characteristically slow to heal. There are currently no specific medical countermeasures to prevent SM-induced vesication and therefore SM remains a major military threat. To investigate the mechanism by which SM causes these injuries we aimed to identify the cellular proteins that are important in the vesicant response and pathology of SM. Membrane and membrane-associated proteins that are targets for direct binding by SM were compared to targets directly bound by CEES (chloroethylethylsulphide). As CEES is a less potent blistering agent compared to SM, it was hypothesised that differences in the binding of these two mustards could reveal key proteins directly involved in the mustard vesicant response. Human cellular membranes fractionated from HaCaT cells were exposed to 14C-SM or 14C-CEES and the membrane proteins to which SM or CEES bound were separated by 2D gel electrophoresis, located by fluorography and subsequently identified using mass spectrometry. A number of proteins were identified that were differentially labelled by SM and CEES. Actin, annexin A2 and keratin 9 were labelled with SM at a higher intensity than was seen with the same concentration of CEES. Therefore results from these studies suggest that SM binding to these proteins could contribute to the complex pathology seen following SM exposure. 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

Penicillium expansum, a widespread filamentous fungus, is a major causative agent of fruit decay and may lead to the production of mycotoxin that causes harmful effects on human health. In this study, we compared the cellular and extracellular proteomes of P. expansum in the absence and presence of borate, which affects the virulence of the fungal pathogen. The differentially expressed proteins were identified using ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS. Several proteins related to stress response (glutathione S-transferase, catalase, and heat shock protein 60) and basic metabolism (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, dihydroxy-acid dehydratase, and arginase) were identified in the cellular proteome. Catalase and glutathione S-transferase, the two antioxidant enzymes, exhibited reduced levels of expression upon exposure to borate. Because catalase and glutathione S-transferase are related to oxidative stress response, we further investigated the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and oxidative protein carbonylation (damaged proteins) in P. expansum. Higher amounts of ROS and carbonylated proteins were observed after borate treatment, indicating that catalase and glutathione S-transferase are important in scavenging ROS and protecting cellular proteins from oxidative damage. Additionally to find secretory proteins that contribute to the virulence, we studied the extracellular proteome of P. expansum under stress condition with reduced virulence. The expression of three protein spots were repressed in the presence of borate and identified as the same hydrolytic enzyme, polygalacturonase. 相似文献

Can antioxidants be beneficial in the treatment of lead poisoning? 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
Recent studies have shown that lead causes oxidative stress by inducing the generation of reactive oxygen species, reducing the antioxidant defense system of cells via depleting glutathione, inhibiting sulfhydryl-dependent enzymes, interfering with some essential metals needed for antioxidant enzyme activities, and/or increasing susceptibility of cells to oxidative attack by altering the membrane integrity and fatty acid composition. Consequently, it is plausible that impaired oxidant/antioxidant balance can be partially responsible for the toxic effects of lead. Where enhanced oxidative stress contributes to lead-induced toxicity, restoration of a cell's antioxidant capacity appears to provide a partial remedy. Several studies are underway to determine the effect of antioxidant supplementation following lead exposure. Data suggest that antioxidants may play an important role in abating some hazards of lead. To explain the importance of using antioxidants in treating lead poisoning the following topics are addressed: (i) Oxidative damage caused by lead poisoning; (ii) conventional treatment of lead poisoning and its side effects; and (iii) possible protective effects of antioxidants in lead toxicity. 相似文献

Mitochondrial mutations may increase oxidative stress: Implications for carcinogenesis and aging? 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
The sensitivity of mitochondrial DNA to damage by mutagens predisposes mitochondria to injury on exposure of cells to genotoxins or oxidative stress. Damage to the mitochondrial genome causing mutations or loss of mitochondrial gene products, or to some nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial membrane proteins, may accelerate release of reactive species of oxygen. Such aberrant mitochondria may contribute to cellular aging and promotion of cancer. 相似文献

Alachlor is a widely used pre-emergent chloroacetanilide herbicide which has been shown to have many harmful ecological and environmental effects. However, the mechanism of alachlor-induced oxidative stress is poorly understood. We found that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide anions were increased only after long-term exposure to alachlor, suggesting that alachlor is not a pro-oxidant. It is likely that alachlor-induced oxidative stress may result from protein denaturation because alachlor rapidly induced an increased protein aggregation, leading to upregulation of SSA4 and HSP82 genes encoding heat shock proteins (Hsp) of Hsp70 and Hsp90 family, respectively. Although only SOD1 encoding Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), but not SOD2 encoding Mn-SOD, is essential for alachlor tolerance, both SODs play a crucial role in reducing alachlor-induced ROS. We found that, after alachlor exposure, glutathione production was inhibited while its utilization was increased, suggesting the role of glutathione in protecting cells against alachlor, which becomes more important when lacking Cu/Zn-SOD. Based on our results, it seems that alachlor primarily causes damages to cellular macromolecules such as proteins, leading to an induction of endogenous oxidative stress, of which intracellular antioxidant defense systems are required for elimination. 相似文献
