炎症因子的表达调控是炎症反应的关键步骤,与自身免疫疾病以及癌症等密切相关.一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)在炎症因子表达调控中具有重要作用,但已有的研究多关注于NO合成对炎症因子的调控作用,而对NO代谢的作用知之甚少.亚硝基化谷胱甘肽还原酶(S-nitrosoglutathione reductase,GSNOR)是体内NO信号通路代谢调控的关键蛋白.本研究发现脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)在RAW264.7细胞中上调诱导型一氧化氮合酶(inducible nitric oxide synthase,iNOS)的同时下调GSNOR的转录和蛋白质表达,该下调作用依赖MEK1/2、p38和PI3K信号通路.抑制GSNOR可促进LPS诱导的炎症因子IL-1β、IL-6和TNF-α表达,而过表达GSNOR作用相反.抗炎症药物曲古抑菌素A (trichostatin A,TSA)能够挽回LPS对GSNOR的下调作用,并且GSNOR抑制剂削弱了TSA对炎症因子IL-6和TNF-α转录的抑制效应.这些结果表明:GSNOR是一个新的重要炎症调控分子,它可能成为调控NO介导的炎症相关信号通路的新的潜在靶点,上调GSNOR可能是抑制炎症的新思路.本研究揭示了巨噬细胞通过上调iNOS和下调GSNOR共同增强免疫炎症反应的新机制,拓展了对NO代谢在炎症反应中作用机制的认识. 相似文献

逆境胁迫对油菜谷胱甘肽还原酶基因表达及其酶活性的影响 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
利用cDNA末端快速分离(RACE)技术从陇油6号油菜中克隆得到一个新的谷胱甘肽还原酶基因GR2,全长2073 bp,开放阅读框1692 bp,编码563个氨基酸,预测蛋白质分子量为60.7 kDa,等电点7.9.实时荧光定量PCR分析表明:GR2基因在油菜根、茎、叶中均有表达,其中在叶中表达量最高.GR1和GR2基因的转录以及谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性受到低温、高温、干旱、高盐胁迫的诱导,表明油菜谷胱甘肽还原酶在抵御低温、高温、干旱、高盐胁迫过程中发挥重要作用.脱落酸(ABA)预处理后再进行上述胁迫处理,与单独上述胁迫相比,GR1和GR2基因的转录以及GR活性水平明显上升,表明ABA可以诱导GR1和GR2基因表达和GR酶活性.MAPKK抑制剂U0126预处理后再进行上述胁迫处理,与单独上述胁迫相比,GR1和GR2基因的转录以及GR活性水平明显下降,表明U0126对GR1、GR2基因表达以及GR酶活性有抑制作用. 相似文献

涝渍逆境下玉米叶片中谷胱甘肽的含量变化及其作用 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
涝渍逆境下玉米叶片GSH含量和GSH还原酶活性都明显下降,但前者的降幅小于后者,两者的变化均与叶片质膜透性以及MDA的积累呈显著性负相关。施加外源GSH明显减少MDA和H2O2含量,降低O^-2产生速率。而叶面喷施8-羟基喹啉和抗坏血酸等活性氧清除剂则减缓因涝渍而引起的GSH含量下降。 相似文献

本文采用室内水培及密闭箱静态熏气方法,研究了4个不同浓度(0mg/m3,10mg/m3,30mg/m3和90mg/m3)SO2对晋单51和农大108两个品种玉米幼苗过氧化物酶(POD)、脯氨酸(Pro)和丙二醛(MDA)的影响。研究结果表明,随着SO2浓度的升高,两种玉米幼苗的POD活性呈下降的趋势,且当SO2浓度为10mg/m3、30mg/m3和90mg/m3时POD活性分别降至对照的22.6%、18.9%和12.1%;而结果发现Pro含量随SO2浓度升高逐渐升高,且当SO2浓度与POD处理相同时脯氨酸含量分别上升至对照的195.0%、235.4%和496.5%,SO2浓度为90mg/m3时Pro含量最高,且不同浓度处理时农大108Pro含量均比晋单51高;然而,MDA含量随SO2浓度的升高呈先降低后逐渐升高的趋势,在90mg/m3处升至最高值为对照的310.6%,仍然是农大108MDA含量比晋单51高。因此研究显示低浓度SO2能使玉米幼苗适应胁迫,但高浓度SO2暴露会影响植物生长发育。 相似文献

A mutant rat GPX1 (a cytosolic predominant form), in which the selenocysteine residue in the catalytic center was replaced by cysteine, was prepared and an antibody against the mutant enzyme was raised. The resultant antibody specifically reacted with rat GPX1 and was, together with the Glutathione reductase (GR) antibody, used in a Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry experiments. To elucidate the physiological coupling of these enzymes under oxidative stress which accompanies the birth, developmental changes of the protein levels and enzymatic activities of GR and GPX1 were examined for lungs and kidneys from prenatal fetus to adult rats. The expression of GR was already evident at the prenatal stage and remained high in lungs at all stages. However, GR activity in kidneys gradually increased after birth reaching maximal levels at adulthood. An immunohistochemical study showed that GR was strongly bound to the bronchial epithelia in lungs and the epithelial cells of renal tubes. GPX1 was expressed in the renal tube epithelial cells and its level gradually increased after birth in a manner similar to that of GR. The expression of GPX1 in the lungs was, on the other hand, variable and occurred in some alveolar cells and bronchial epithelia only at restricted periods. It preferentially localized in nuclei at a late stage of development. Thus, the expression of the two functionally coupled enzymes via GSH did not appear to coordinate with development, tissue localization or under oxidative stress. Since many gene products show GSH-dependent preoxidase activity, other peroxidase(s) may be induced to compensate for the low GPX1 levels at stages with high GR expression. 相似文献

Nitrate reductase (NR) activity was identified in the right-side-out and inside-out of high purity plasma membrane (PM) vesicles in maize (Zea mays L. ) roots which was obtained by aqueous two-phase partitioning. The inducement property of the NR activity in PM could be confirmed through culturing the meterial with or without nitrate component. Analysis from experimentation with external electron donor indicated that the maize root NR in PM could utilize not only NADH but also NADPH directly or indirectly as its electron donor. Treatment with Triton X-100 combining with trypsin and inhibitor demonstrated that NR protein was a trans-PM protein mainly facing the apoplastic side, being specially sensitive to trypsin. The possible function of the NR in PM is also discussed. 相似文献

AbstractWe have developed inhibitors of glutathione reductase that improve on the inhibition of literature lead compounds by up to three orders of magnitude. Thus, analogues of Safranine O and menadione were found to be strong, reversible inhibitors of yeast glutathione reductase. Safranine O exhibited partial, uncompetitive inhibition with Ki and α values of 0.5 mM and 0.15, respectively. Thionine O was a partial (hyperbolic) uncompetitive inhibitor with Ki and α values of 0.4μM and 0.15, respectively. LY83583 and 2-anilino-l,4-naphthoquinone also showed (hyperbolic) partial, uncompetitive inhibition with micromolar Ki values. For Nile Blue A a model for two-site binding with (parabolic) uncompetitive inhibition fitted the data with a Ki value of 11 μM and a kinetic cooperativity between the sites of 0.12, increased to 0.46 by pre-incubation of the enzyme and Nile Blue A in the presence of glutathione disulphide. Analysis of the effects of preincubation on the kinetics and cooperativity indicated the possibility of a slow conformational change in the homodimeric enzyme, the first such indication of kinetic cooperativity in the native enzyme to our knowledge. Further evidence of conformational changes for this enzyme came from studies of the effects of dimethyl sulphoxide which indicated that this co-solvent, which at low concentrations has no apparent effect on initial velocities under normal assay conditions, induced a slow conformational change in the enzyme. Thionine O, Nile Blue A and LY83583 were redox-cycling substrates producing superoxide ion, detectable by means of cytochrome c reduction, but leading to no loss of glutathione reductase activity, under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The water-soluble Safranine analogues Methylene Blue, Methylene Green, Nile Blue A and Thionine O (5 mg/kg i.p. x 5) were effective antimalarial agents in vivo against P. berghei, but their effect was small and a higher dose (50mg/kg i.p. x 1) was toxic in mice. Comparison was made with human glutathione reductase and its literature-reported interactions with several tricyclic inhibitors as studied by X-ray diffraction. It is possible that the conformational changes detected in the present study from alterations in detailed kinetic inhibition mechanisms may shed light on information transfer through the glutathione reductase molecule from the dimer interface ligand pocket to the active-site. 相似文献

The effects of gentamicin sulphate, thiamphenicol, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, cefepime, and cefazolin were investigated on the in vitro enzyme activity of glutathione reductase. The enzyme was purified 1,850-fold with a yield 18.76% from sheep liver using ammonium sulphate precipitation, 2′, 5′-ADP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The enzyme activity was measured spectrophotometrically at 340?nm, according to the method of Carlberg and Mannervik. From these six antibiotics, Ofloxacin, levofloxacin, cefepime, and cefazolin inhibited the activity of the purified enzyme; gentamicin sulphate and thiamphenicol showed little effect on the enzyme activity. The I50 values for these four antibiotics were 0.150?mM, 0.154?mM, 3.395?mM, and 18.629?mM, respectively. The Ki constants were 0.047±0.034?mM, 0.066±0.038?mM, 4.885±3.624?mM, and 6.511±1.894?mM, respectively and they were competitive inhibitors. 相似文献

The characteristics of glutathione reductase from a number ofmaize cultivars with contrasting thermotolerance have been investigated.The apparent Km (Michaelis constant) for oxidised glutathione(GSSG) was measured between 10 and 45°C at constant pH.The enzyme from highland cultivars adapted to cool environmentshad a slightly lower apparent Km for GSSG than that from lowlandtropical cultivars at low assay temperatures. Similarly theenzyme from lowland tropical cultivars had a lower apparentKm for GSSG at high assay temperatures. However these effectswere small and regression lines plotted through the data werenot significantly different in slope or intercept. There wasa strong correlation (r = 0·939) between apparent Kmand Vmax (maximum initial velocity) as assay temperature wasvaried. The interpretation of apparent Km/temperature relationshipsis discussed with hypothetical examples of the effects of temperatureon enzyme activity/substrate concentration plots. It is demonstratedthat an increase in apparent Km at higher assay temperaturesneed not necessarily reflect any temperature-dependent impairmentof enzyme function. The apparent Km for GSSG of glutathionereductase from maize increased over four-fold when the temperaturewas raised from 10 to 45°C, but it is concluded that invivo rates of reaction are likely to be increased rather thandecreased by this same change in temperature. Glutathione reductasewould thus appear to be equally well adapted to function atall these temperatures. This suggests that the potential ofenzyme thermal kinetics to predict thermotolerance may be limited.Copyright1994, 1999 Academic Press Zea mays L., maize, glutathione reductase, thermal kinetics, thermotolerance 相似文献

Mitochondrial oxidative stress significantly contributes to the underlying pathology of several devastating neurodegenerative disorders. Mitochondria are highly sensitive to the damaging effects of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species; therefore, these organelles are equipped with a number of free radical scavenging systems. In particular, the mitochondrial glutathione (GSH) pool is a critical antioxidant reserve that is derived entirely from the larger cytosolic pool via facilitated transport. The mechanism of mitochondrial GSH transport has not been extensively studied in the brain. However, the dicarboxylate (DIC) and 2-oxoglutarate (OGC) carriers localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane have been established as GSH transporters in liver and kidney. Here, we investigated the role of these carriers in protecting neurons from oxidative and nitrosative stress. Immunoblot analysis of DIC and OGC in primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) and cerebellar astrocytes showed differential expression of these carriers, with CGNs expressing only DIC and astrocytes expressing both DIC and OGC. Consistent with these findings, butylmalonate specifically reduced mitochondrial GSH in CGNs, whereas both butylmalonate and phenylsuccinate diminished mitochondrial GSH in astrocytes. Moreover, preincubation with butylmalonate but not phenylsuccinate significantly enhanced susceptibility of CGNs to oxidative and nitrosative stressors. This increased vulnerability was largely prevented by incubation with cell-permeable GSH monoethylester but not malate. Finally, knockdown of DIC with adenoviral siRNA also rendered CGNs more susceptible to oxidative stress. These findings demonstrate that maintenance of the mitochondrial GSH pool via sustained mitochondrial GSH transport is essential to protect neurons from oxidative and nitrosative stress. 相似文献
