The mechanism of alpha-tocopheryl succinate (TS) cytoprotection against mitochondria-derived oxidative stress was investigated. Incubation of isolated rat hepatocytes with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), a mitochondrial alkylating toxicant caused mitochondrial dysfunction and necrotic cell death that was dependent on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. Mitochondria isolated from these cells showed a 3-fold increase in lipid hydroperoxides and a selective depletion of alpha-tocopherol (T), which preceded cell death. The pretreatment of hepatocytes with TS dramatically enriched cells and mitochondria with alpha-tocopherol and provided these membranes with complete protection against EMS-induced oxidative damage. TS pretreatment suppressed EMS-induced cellular ROS production, generated from mitochondrial complex I and III sites. In addition, the treatment with either rotenone (ROT, a complex I inhibitor) or antimycin A (AA, a complex III inhibitor) potentiated EMS-induced lipid peroxidation and necrotic cell death which were again completely prevented by TS treatment. Surprisingly, TS did not protect hepatocytes against thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA), a complex II inhibitor-induced enhancement of EMS-induced toxic oxidative damage. We conclude that the inhibition of mitochondrial ROS production and lipid peroxidation by T released from TS, are the critical events responsible for TS-mediated cytoprotection against toxic oxidative stress derived from both mitochondrial complexes I and III. Our findings suggest that TS treatment may prove useful in combating diseases associated with mitochondrial-derived oxidative stress. 相似文献

Mitochondrial electron transport inhibitors induced two distinct pathways for acute cell death: lipid peroxidation-dependent and -independent in isolated rat hepatocytes. The toxic effects of mitochondrial complex I and II inhibitors, rotenone (ROT) and thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA), respectively, were dependent on oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, while cell death induced by inhibitors of complexes III and IV, antimycin A (AA) and cyanide (CN), respectively, was caused by MMP collapse and loss of cellular ATP. Accordingly, cellular and mitochondrial antioxidant depletion or supplementation, in general, resulted in a dramatic potentiation or prevention, respectively, of toxic injury induced by complex I and II inhibitors, with little or no effect on complex III and IV inhibitor-induced toxicity. ROT-induced oxidative stress was prevented by the addition of d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate (TS) but surprisingly TS did not afford hepatocytes protection against TTFA-induced oxidative damage. TS treatment prevented ROT-induced mitochondrial lipid hydroperoxide formation but had no effect on the loss of mitochondrial GSH or cellular ATP, suggesting a mitochondrial lipid peroxidation-mediated mechanism for ROT-induced acute cell death. In contrast, only fructose treatment provided excellent cytoprotection against AA- and CN-induced toxicity. Our findings indicate that complex III and IV inhibitors cause a rapid and severe depletion of cellular ATP content resulting in acute cell death that is dependent on cellular energy impairment but not lipid peroxidation. In contrast, inhibitors of mitochondrial complex I or II moderately deplete cellular ATP levels and thus cause acute cell death via a lipid peroxidation pathway. 相似文献

Diethyl maleate (DEM) (5 mM) and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) (35 mM) treatments rapidly depleted cellular reduced glutathione (GSH) below detectable levels (1 nmol/10(6) cells), and induced lipid peroxidation and necrotic cell death in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. In hepatocytes incubated with 2.5 mM DEM and 10 mM EMS, however, the complete depletion of cellular GSH observed was not sufficient to induce lipid peroxidation or cell death. Instead, DEM- and EMS-induced lipid peroxidation and cell death were dependent on increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production as measured by increases in dichlorofluorescein fluorescence. The addition of antioxidants (vitamin E succinate and deferoxamine) prevented lipid peroxidation and cell death, suggesting that lipid peroxidation is involved in the sequence of events leading to necrotic cell death induced by DEM and EMS. To investigate the subcellular site of ROS generation, the cytochrome P450 inhibitor, SKF525A, was found to reduce EMS-induced lipid peroxidation but did not protect against the loss of cell viability, suggesting a mitochondrial origin for the toxic lipid peroxidation event. In agreement with this conclusion, mitochondrial electron transport inhibitors (rotenone, thenoyltrifluoroacetone and antimycin A) increased EMS-induced lipid peroxidation and cell death, while the mitochondrial uncoupler, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, blocked EMS- and DEM-mediated ROS production and lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, EMS treatment resulted in the significant loss of mitochondrial alpha-tocopherol shortly after its addition, and this loss preceded losses in cellular alpha-tocopherol levels. Treatment of hepatocytes with cyclosporin A, a mitochondrial permeability transition inhibitor, oxypurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, or BAPTA-AM, a calcium chelator, provided no protection against EMS-induced cell death or lipid peroxidation. Our results indicate that DEM and EMS induce cell death by a similar mechanism, which is dependent on the induction of ROS production and lipid peroxidation, and mitochondria are the major source for this toxic ROS generation. Cellular GSH depletion in itself does not appear to be responsible for the large increases in ROS production and lipid peroxidation observed. 相似文献

Numerous in vitro studies attest to the enhanced ability of vitamin E succinate (TS), as compared with conventional vitamin E compounds such as unesterified d-alpha-tocopherol (T) and d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (TA), to protect hepatocytes from toxic oxidative stress. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that this unique protective ability is related to an enhanced cellular accumulation of TS. The results of this study indicate, using both in vitro and in vivo model systems, that acute TS administration results in a rapid increase in T and TS content and antioxidant protection of hepatocytes and mitochondria. In contrast, conventional vitamin E compounds such as T and TA lack these same protective properties. We suggest that TS acts as a unique delivery system for T, rapidly accumulating in cellular and mitochondrial membranes and gradually releasing active T to prevent membrane oxidative damage. We propose that TS administration may prove useful for the prevention and treatment of oxidative stress-mediated diseases, especially those of mitochondrial origin. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of alpha-tocopherol and its ester, alpha tocopherol succinate, on lipid peroxidation and motility of equine spermatozoa. In experiment one, spermatozoa were incubated with dl-alpha-tocopherol (5, 25, 100 or 500 microM), DL-alpha tocopherol succinate (5, 25, 100 or 500 microM) or vehicle (0.5% ethanol) at 38 degrees C, and sperm motility was determined at 30, 60 and 120 min. In experiment two, spermatozoa loaded with the lipophilic probe, C11BODIPY(581/591), were incubated with dl-alpha-tocopherol (50 and 100 microM), DL-alpha-tocopherol succinate (50 and 100 microM) or ethanol (0.5%) and with the promoters cumene hydroperoxide, Fe2SO4, and ascorbate at 38 degrees C in 5% CO2. Lipid peroxidation was determined by changes in fluorescence of C11BODIPY(581/591), and motility was determined by CASA at 0, 15, 30 and 60 min. In experiment three, spermatozoa loaded with C11BODIPY(581/591) were incubated with dl-alpha-tocopherol (5, 25, 100 or 500 microM), DL-alpha-tocopherol succinate (5, 25, 100 or 500 microM) or ethanol (0.5%) at 38 degrees C and then submitted to a 4-hour incubation at room temperature. Motility and lipid peroxidation were determined at 1 and 4 h. In experiment four, the effect of DL alpha tocopherol (5, 25 or 500 microM), DL-alpha-tocopherol succinate (5, 25 or 500 microM) or ethanol (0.5%) on lipid peroxidation and motility were evaluated during storage at 5 degrees C in a skim-milk based extender. Although dl-alpha-tocopherol succinate appeared more effective than DL-alpha-tocopherol in preventing lipid peroxidation during short-term incubations, the succinate ester suppressed sperm motility compared to dl-alpha-tocopherol alone. 相似文献

Vitamin E is a scavenger molecule trapping free radicals in biological membranes. However, it has also been shown to elicit the formation of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis in cancer cells. In this study, we tested the ability of alpha-tocopherol, tocopherol acetate, tocopherol phosphate and tocopherol succinate (TS) to modulate gap junctional intercellular communication in the rat liver epithelial cell line IAR203, as measured by the transfer of Lucifer yellow. While alpha-tocopherol, tocopherol acetate and tocopherol phosphate moderately reduced the dye transfer, TS at 10 and 25 microM strongly inhibited it, probably via the induction of the hypophosphorylation of connexin 43. Our results show that, besides their interesting antioxidant properties, vitamin E analogs, especially TS, can exert adverse effects on gap junctional intercellular communication, which could explain their controversial effects in carcinogenesis. 相似文献

Extracellular ATP-mediated signaling for survival in hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Respiratory failure is a serious consequence of lung cell injury caused by treatment with high inhaled oxygen concentrations. Human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVEC) are a principal target of hyperoxic injury (hyperoxia). Cell stress can cause release of ATP, and this extracellular nucleotide can activate purinoreceptors and mediate responses essential for survival. In this investigation, exposure of endothelial cells to an oxidative stress, hyperoxia, caused rapid but transient ATP release (20.03 +/- 2.00 nm/10(6) cells in 95% O(2) versus 0.08 +/- 0.01 nm/10(6) cells in 21% O2 at 30 min) into the extracellular milieu without a concomitant change in intracellular ATP. Endogenously produced extracellular ATP-enhanced mTOR-dependent uptake of glucose (3467 +/- 102 cpm/mg protein in 95% oxygen versus 2100 +/- 112 cpm/mg protein in control). Extracellular addition of ATP-activated important cell survival proteins like PI 3-kinase and extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK-1/2). These events were mediated primarily by P2Y receptors, specifically the P2Y2 and/or P2Y6 subclass of receptors. Extracellular ATP was required for the survival of HLMVEC in hyperoxia (55 +/- 10% surviving cells with extracellular ATP scavengers [apyrase + adenosine deaminase] versus 95 +/- 12% surviving cells without ATP scavengers at 4 d of hyperoxia). Incubation with ATP scavengers abolished ATP-dependent ERK phosphorylation stimulated by hyperoxia. Further, ERK activation also was found to be important for cell survival in hyperoxia, as treatment with PD98059 enhanced hyperoxia-mediated cell death. These findings demonstrate that ATP release and subsequent ATP-mediated signaling events are vital for survival of HLMVEC in hyperoxia. 相似文献

To compare the effects of dexamethasone (Dex) and celecoxib (Cel) on F-isoprostane, prostacyclin (PGI2), and thromboxane A2 (TxA2) following hyperoxia, and hyperoxia followed by recovery in room air (RA), newborn rabbits were exposed to hyperoxia (80-100% oxygen) for 4 days, during which they were treated with saline (Sal, i.m.), Dex (i.m.), vehicle (Veh, PO), or Cel (PO, n = 12 per group). Six animals in each group were sacrificed immediately following hyperoxia, and the remainder allowed to recover in RA for 5 days. The control litters were treated simultaneously in RA with all conditions other than atmospheric oxygen being identical. Blood samples were assayed for 8-epi-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-epi-PGF2alpha), 6-keto prostaglandin F1alpha (6-ketoPGF1alpha), and TxB2. Dex and Cel decreased 8-epi-PGF2alpha during hyperoxia and the recovery period. Dex increased 6-ketoPGF2alpha following hyperoxia, while similar increments were noted during recovery with Cel. Although TxB2 was decreased only during the recovery period, TxB2/6-ketoPGF1alpha ratio was lower during hyperoxia and recovery in both treated groups. The effect of Cel on 8-epi-PGF2. and TxA2/PGI2 ratio confirm the formation of a COX-derived F2-isoprostane that is possibly linked to TxA2 receptors. Further studies are required to examine whether Cel can be used as a therapeutic alternative to Dex for oxygen-induced injury in the newborn. 相似文献

The cardiomyopathy produced by the widely used anticancer drug adriamycin (ADR) is believed to be related to the production of reaction oxygen species and consumption of reduced glutathione (GSH) during redox cycling of the drug. Protection by vitamin E against the toxicity of ADR was studied in a model of compromised isolated hepatocytes, generated by physiological alterations in the concentration of cell calcium. A decrease in cell calcium concentration leads to a greater loss of endogenous alpha-tocopherol and enhances the intracellular hydrolysis of exogenous alpha-tocopheryl esters. With this model, vitamin E (alpha-tocopheryl succinate) at 25 microM protected the calcium-depleted hepatocytes against the toxicity of ADR, in association with greater cellular alpha-tocopherol content as compared to calcium-adequate cells. The incubation of calcium-adequate hepatocytes with increasing concentrations of alpha-tocopheryl succinate up to 200 microM demonstrated that maximal protection by vitamin E was directly dependent on the alpha-tocopherol content of the cells, regardless of the concentration of cell calcium. The viability of the cells was closely associated with the alpha-tocopherol-mediated maintenance of cellular protein thiols. Viability and protein thiol content of the cells were maximal at cellular alpha-tocopherol levels in the range 0.6-1.0 nmol/10(6) cells in both calcium-depleted and -adequate cells. It is suggested that the potential use of vitamin E as a protective agent against ADR toxicity in vivo be reevaluated with an emphasis placed on the threshold level of intracellular alpha-tocopherol in the critical target tissue. 相似文献

The effects of oxidative stress caused by hyperoxia or administration of the redox active compound diquat were studied in isolated hepatocytes, and the relative contribution of lipid peroxidation, glutathione (GSH) depletion, and NADPH oxidation to the cytotoxicity of active oxygen species was investigated.The redox cycling of diquat occurred primarily in the microsomal fraction since diquat was found not ' to penetrate into the mitochondria. Depletion of intracellular GSH by pretreatment of the animals with diethyl maleate promoted lipid peroxidation and sensitized the cells to oxidative stress. Diquat toxicity was also greatly enhanced when glutathione reductase was inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyI)-1-nitrosourea. Despite extensive lipid peroxidation, loss of cell viability was not observed, with either hyperoxia or diquat, until the GSH level had fallen below ≈ 6 nmol/106 cells.The iron chelator desferrioxamine provided complete protection against both diquat-induced lipid peroxidation and loss of cell viability. In contrast, the antioxidant a-tocopherol inhibited lipid peroxidation but provided only partial protection from toxicity. The hydroxy! radical scavenger α-keto-γ-methiol butyric acid, finally, also provided partial protection against diquat toxicity but had no effect on lipid peroxidation.The results indicate that there is a critical GSH level above which cell death due to oxidative stress is not observed. As long as the glutathione peroxidase – glutathione reductase system is unaffected, even relatively low amounts of GSH can protect the cells by supporting glutathione peroxidase-mediated metabolism of H2O2 and lipid hydroperoxides. 相似文献

Hyperoxic lung injury, believed to be mediated by reactive oxygen species, inflammatory cell activation, and release of cytotoxic cytokines, complicates the care of many critically ill patients. The cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is induced in lungs exposed to high concentrations of oxygen; however, its contribution to hyperoxia-induced lung injury remains unclear. Both TNF-alpha treatment and blockade with anti-TNF antibodies increased survival in mice exposed to hyperoxia. In the current study, to determine if pulmonary oxygen toxicity is dependent on either of the TNF receptors, type I (TNFR-I) or type II (TNFR-II), TNFR-I or TNFR-II gene-ablated [(-/-)] mice and wild-type control mice (WT; C57BL/6) were studied in >95% oxygen. There was no difference in average length of survival, although early survival was better for TNFR-I(-/-) mice than for either TNFR-II(-/-) or WT mice. At 48 h of hyperoxia, slightly more alveolar septal thickening and peribronchiolar and periarteriolar edema were detected in WT than in TNFR-I(-/-) lungs. By 84 h of oxygen exposure, TNFR-I(-/-) mice demonstrated greater alveolar debris, inflammation, and edema than WT mice. TNFR-I was necessary for induction of cytokine interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-1 receptor antagonist, chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1beta, MIP-2, interferon-gamma-induced protein-10 (IP-10), and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 mRNA in response to intratracheal administration of recombinant murine TNF-alpha. However, IL-1beta, IL-6, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIP-1alpha, MIP-2, and MCP-1 mRNAs were comparably induced by hyperoxia in TNFR-I(-/-) and WT lungs. In contrast, mRNA for manganese superoxide dismutase and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 were induced by hyperoxia only in WT mice. Differences in early survival and toxicity suggest that pulmonary oxygen toxicity is in part mediated by TNFR-I. However, induction of specific cytokine and chemokine mRNA and lethality in response to severe hyperoxia was independent of TNFR-I expression. The current study supports the prediction that therapeutic efforts to block TNF-alpha receptor function will not protect against pulmonary oxygen toxicity. 相似文献

Most animals synthesize ascorbate. It is an essential enzymatic cofactor for the synthesis of a variety of biological molecules and also a powerful antioxidant. There is, however, little direct evidence supporting an antioxidant role for endogenously produced ascorbate. Recently, we demonstrated that incubation of rat hepatocytes with 1-bromoheptane or phorone simultaneously depleted glutathione (GSH) and triggered rapid ascorbate synthesis. The present study investigates the hypothesis that endogenous ascorbate synthesis can confer protection against oxidative stress. Rat and guinea pig hepatocytes were depleted of GSH with 1-bromoheptane and subsequently treated with the oxidative stressor cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) in the presence or absence of the ascorbate synthesis inhibitor sorbinil. In rat hepatocytes, ascorbate content increased linearly (from 15.1 to 35.8 nmol/10(6) cells) over a 105-min incubation. Prior depletion of GSH increased CHP-induced cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, lipid peroxidation, and cell death in rat and guinea pig hepatocytes. Inhibiting ascorbate synthesis, however, further elevated ROS production (2-fold), lipid peroxidation (1.5-fold), and cell death (2-fold) in rat hepatocytes only. This is the first time that endogenous ascorbate synthesis has been shown to decrease cellular susceptibility to oxidative stress. Protection by endogenously produced ascorbate may therefore need to be addressed when extrapolating data to humans from experiments using rodents capable of synthesizing ascorbate. 相似文献

A mechanism suggested to cause injury to preserved organs is the generation of oxygen free radicals either during the cold-storage period or after transplantation (reperfusion). Oxygen free radicals can cause peroxidation of lipids and alter the structural and functional properties of the cell membranes. Methods to suppress generation of oxygen free radicals of suppression of lipid peroxidation may lead to improved methods of organ preservation. In this study we determined how cold storage of rat hepatocytes affected lipid peroxidation by measuring thiobarbituric acid reactive products (malondialdehyde, MDA). Hepatocytes were stored in the UW solution +/- glutathione (GSH) or +/- polyethylene glycol (PEG) for up to 96 h and rewarmed (resuspended in a physiologically balanced saline solution and incubated at 37 degrees C under an atmosphere of oxygen) after each day of storage. Hepatocytes rewarmed after storage in the UW solution not containing PEG or GSH showed a nearly linear increase in MDA production with time of storage and contained 1.618 +/- 0.731 nmol MDA/mg protein after 96 h. When the storage solution contained PEG and GSH there was no significant increase in MDA production after up to 72 h of storage and at 96 h MDA was 0.827 +/- 0.564 nmol/mg protein. When freshly isolated hepatocytes were incubated (37 degrees C) in the presence of iron (160 microM) MDA formation was maximally stimulated (3.314 +/- 0.941 nmol/mg protein). When hepatocytes were stored in the presence of PEG there was a decrease in the capability of iron to maximally stimulate lipid peroxidation. The decrease in iron-stimulated MDA production was dependent upon the time of storage in PEG (1.773 nmol/mg protein at 24 h and 0.752 nmol/mg protein at 48 h).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A role of vitamin E in protection against cell injury. Maintenance of intracellular glutathione precursors and biosynthesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The depletion of cell calcium from isolated rat hepatocytes results in stimulated lipid peroxidation, loss of intracellular and mitochondrial GSH (reduced glutathione), and enhancement of both efflux and oxidation of GSH. These events are followed by cell injury and enhance the susceptibility of the cells to toxic chemicals. It is shown herein that an initial event in the generation of such injury is the depletion of cellular alpha-tocopherol. alpha-Tocopheryl succinate addition (25 microM) to the calcium-depleted cells markedly elevated the alpha-tocopherol content of the cells, inhibited the associated lipid peroxidation, and maintained intracellular GSH levels without affecting its efflux or redox status. This resulted in an enhanced formation of total glutathione after a 5-h incubation, which correlated with the alpha-tocopherol content of the cells, and was greater than that expected by a direct sparing action of vitamin E. Inhibition of hepatocyte glutathione biosynthesis by buthionine sulfoximine (0.5 mM) eliminated the enhancement of GSH formation by vitamin E. Analysis of endogenous and 35S-labelled precursors of glutathione biosynthesis by high-performance liquid chromatography demonstrated that the depletion of cellular alpha-tocopherol resulted in the efflux of glutathione precursors. It is concluded that cell injury associated with alpha-tocopherol depletion is partly the result of the efflux of glutathione precursors, and hence diminished biosynthesis and intracellular levels of GSH. These losses and resultant cell injury are preventable by maintenance of cellular alpha-tocopherol levels. 相似文献

Relationship between cellular calcium and vitamin E metabolism during protection against cell injury 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The extent of chemically induced injury to isolated hepatocytes has been previously shown to depend on the content of alpha-tocopherol in the cells, the levels of which are influenced by the concentration of extracellular calcium. Investigations into the effect of calcium on the alpha-tocopherol content of nonchemically exposed cells demonstrated that incubation of isolated hepatocytes in a calcium-deficient medium decreased cell calcium content to 10% of initial levels, and resulted in the depletion of endogenous alpha-tocopherol. This loss in alpha-tocopherol was not accounted for by alpha-tocopherylquinone formation. After supplementation of the cell incubation medium with alpha-tocopheryl succinate, the decreased cell calcium content was associated with higher levels of cellular alpha-tocopherol than in calcium-adequate cells. This was the result of greater intracellular hydrolysis of the tocopheryl ester in the calcium-depleted cells, and not an effect of extracellular calcium concentration on the uptake of alpha-tocopheryl succinate into the cells or on the extracellular hydrolysis of the ester. Uptake studies indicated a much greater achievable level of alpha-tocopherol in hepatocytes after incubation with alpha-tocopherol than with the alpha-tocopheryl ester. These data provide substantial support for the hypotheses that the content of extracellular calcium per se is not the determinant in toxic injury to hepatocytes, but that cell calcium content affects the intracellular metabolism of alpha-tocopherol and its esters, which may subsequently govern the outcome of a toxic challenge. 相似文献

Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a growth inhibitor for alveolar type II cells. Type II cell proliferation after lung injury from 85% oxygen is regulated, in part, by a fall in lung PTHrP. In this study, we investigated lung PTHrP after injury induced by >95% oxygen in rats and rabbits. In adult rats, lung PTHrP rose 10-fold over controls to 6,356 +/- 710 pg/ml (mean +/- SE) at 48 h of hyperoxia. Levels fell to 299 +/- 78 pg/ml, and staining for PTHrP mRNA was greatly reduced at 60 h (P < 0.05), the point of most severe injury and greatest pneumocyte proliferation. In adult rabbits, lung PTHrP peaked at 3,289 +/- 230 pg/ml after 64 h of hyperoxia with 24 h of normoxic recovery and then dropped to 1,629 +/- 153 pg/ml at 48 h of recovery (P < 0.05). Type II cell proliferation peaked shortly after the fall in PTHrP. In newborn rabbits, lavage PTHrP increased by 50% during the first 8 days of hyperoxia, whereas type II cell growth decreased. PTHrP declined at the LD(50), concurrent with increased type II cell division. In summary, lung PTHrP initially rises after injury with >95% hyperoxia and then falls near the peak of injury. Changes in PTHrP are temporally related to type II cell proliferation and may regulate repair of lung injury. 相似文献

Replacement of media in cell cultures during exposure to hyperoxia was found to alter oxygen toxicity. Following 100 hr of exposure to 95% or 80% O2, the surviving fraction (SF) of Chinese hamster fibroblasts, as assayed by clonogenicity, was less than 1 × 10?3 when the culture media was replaced only at the onset of the O2 exposure. Media replacement every 24 hr throughout the hyperoxic exposure resulted in SFs of 1.7 × 10?1 (95% O2) and 1.9 × 10?1 (80% O2) at 95 hr. Cellular resistance to and metabolism of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE), a cytotoxic byproduct of lipid peroxidation, was examined in cells 24 hr following exposure to 80% O2 for 144 hr with media replacement. These O2-exposed cells were resistant to 4HNE, requiring 2.6 times as long in 80 μM 4HNE to reach 30% survival as compared to density-matched normoxia control. Furthermore, during 40 and 60 min of exposure to 4HNE, the O2-preexposed cells metabolized greater quantities of 4HNE (fmole/cell) relative to control. The activity of glutathione S-transferase (GST), an enzyme believed to be involved with the detoxification of 4HNE, was significantly increased in the O2-preexposed cells compared with controls. Catalase activity was significantly increased, but no change was found in total glutathione content, glutathione peroxidase, manganese superoxide dismutase, and copper-zinc superoxide dismutase activities at the time of 4HNE treatment in the O2-preexposed cells relative to density-matched control. The results demonstrate that in vitro tolerance to the cytotoxic effects of hyperoxia can be achieved through media replacement during O2 exposure. Tolerance to oxygen toxicity conferred resistance to the cytotoxic effects of 4HNE, possibly through GST-catalyzed detoxification. These results provide further support for the hypothesis that toxic aldehydic byproducts of lipid peroxidation contribute to hyperoxic injury. 相似文献

Hepatocytes of the small skate (Raja erinacea) were isolated by collagenase perfusion and evaluated by a variety of functional and morphologic criteria. Cell yield was 1.45 X 10(8) +/- 1.3 X 10(7) cells per isolation, and as long as 8 h after isolation 98% of the hepatocytes excluded Trypan blue and no leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) or cell associated potassium could be detected. Oxygen consumption averaged 1.6 +/- 0.5 nmol/min/mg cell protein, was not stimulated by 1 mM succinate, and also remained stable for up to 8 h following isolation. However, 2,4,-dinitrophenol (5 X 10(-5) M) produced a 55% increase in oxygen utilization while ouabain, (1 mM) or sodium removal decreased oxygen consumption by 31 +/- 6 and 33 +/- 7%, respectively, indicating that a significant portion of the cells energy utilization is coupled to the activity of plasma membrane Na+, K+-ATPase. Light microscopic studies showed that the individual hepatocytes had diameters of 28 +/- 5 microns and contained large lipid droplets. Electron microscopy revealed groups of three to five cells with normal ultrastructure and tight junctions and desmosomes surrounding a single bile canaliculus. These studies indicate that skate hepatocytes can be isolated in high yield that retain their structural polarity in the form of clusters of cells formed around a single bile canaliculus. These hepatocytes remain morphologically intact and metabolically stable for a prolonged period of time.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
