Protective effects of sulfated chitooligosaccharides against hydrogen peroxide-induced damage in MIN6 cells

Sulfated chitooligosaccharides (COS-S) with different degrees of substitution (DS) were obtained by the chlorosulfuric acid/pyridine method. Protective effects of COS-S against hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced damage were investigated in pancreatic β-cells MIN6 cell line. The cell viability, morphology, insulin contents, malondialdehyde (MDA) inhibition, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and the levels of antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidise (GPx) were evaluated under oxidative damage by 150 μM H₂O₂ for 6 h. COS-S did not show any harmful or inhibitory effect on cell growth at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 mg/ml. While COS-S could enhance the cell viability, decrease the production of ROS, and reduce the MDA level as well as LDH level in oxidative damaged β-cells by being an antioxidant. The underlining mechanisms of protective effects of COS-S are partly due to the enhancement of antioxidant enzyme activity and inhibition of intracellular ROS production, along with suppressing MIN6 cell apoptosis subsequent to the amelioration of ROS. Moreover, increased DS might contribute to the defense mechanisms against H₂O₂-induced oxidative damage in MIN6 cells. These results indicated that the antioxidant properties of COS-S hold great potential for the oxidative diseases treatment, and the sulfate content of polysaccharides made great role in regulating antioxidant activities.

通过全耳蜗灌流法在体观察一氧化氮(N0)能否通过一氧化氮/环磷酸鸟苷(NO/cGMP)途径对抗过氧化氢这种氧自由基所致的听力损失。实验选用耳廓反射灵敏、无耳毒性药物使用史的健康杂色豚鼠(250-350 g)50只,雌雄不拘,随机分为5组,每组10只动物,分别行全耳蜗灌流人工外淋巴液;过氧化氢(H2O2);L-精氨酸(合成NO的底物);H2O2+L-精氨酸;H2O2+L-精氨酸+L-NNA(一氧化氮合成酶的抑制剂),均灌流2 h。通过圆窗龛电极,每隔30 min记录复合动作电位(compound action potential,CAP:由短声Click诱发)阈值,耳蜗微音器电位(cochlear microphonic,CM;由短纯音Tone Burst诱发)幅度,了解耳蜗功能的变化,并分离取出耳蜗基底膜并制备基底膜硬铺片,通过碘化毗啶(PI)和Hoecbst双染色方法,观察耳蜗组织各类细胞损伤情况。结果显示,灌流H2O2+L-精氨酸组的CAP阈移和CM下降幅度值明显低于单独灌流H2O2组,差异有显著性(氏P<0.05);前者形态学观察未见明显的细胞损伤,后者可见大量坏死红染的细胞。H2O1+L-精氨酸+L-NNA组CAP阈移和CM下降幅度与单独灌流H2O2组比较无统计学差异。实验结果提示NO可能通过NO/cGMP途径部分对抗过氧化氢所致的听力损失。     

Protective effects of peoniflorin against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Peoniflorin (PF), extracted from the root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall., has been reported to have anti-inflammation and antioxidant effects in several animal models. Herein, we investigated the protective effects of PF against hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced oxidative damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs were treated by H(2)O(2) (240?μmol/L) with or without PF. PF significantly increased the percent cell viability of HUVECs injured by H(2)O(2) using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. By flow cytometric analysis, PF markedly attenuated H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis and intracellular reactive oxygen species production. In addition, PF also displayed a dose-dependent reduction of lactate dehydrogenase leakage, malondialdehyde formation, and caspase-3 proteolytic activities in H(2)O(2)-treated cells, which was accompanied with a restoration of the activities of endogenous antioxidants, including total superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Finally, Western blot data revealed that H(2)O(2) upregulated phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in HUVECs, which was almost completely reversed by PF. Taken together, our data provide the first evidence that PF has a protective ability against oxidative damage in HUVECs. PF may be a candidate medicine for the treatment of vascular diseases associated with oxidative stress.     

Effects of l-glutamine supplementation alone or with antioxidants on hydrogen peroxide-induced injury in human intestinal epithelial cells

Background and aimsIn situations of oxidative stress, l-glutamine (Gln) exhibits protective effects which may be potentiated by its combination with antioxidants. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a Gln-antioxidants formula vs Gln alone in intestinal epithelial cell lines Caco-2 and HCT-8 submitted to hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative injury.MethodsCells were cultured during 24 h with 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 mM Gln or isomolar Gln combined to cysteine, vitamine C, vitamine E, β-carotene, Zn and Se (Gln-AOX). After 24 h, membrane integrity was assessed by means of LDH leakage, the level of oxidative stress by analysis of 8-isoprostane concentration and cell viability by colorimetric-MTT assay.ResultsLDH activity decreased (P < 0,05) with a dose-dependent manner in both cell types with Gln-AOX whereas Gln decreased LDH release only in the Caco-2 line at 1 mM. For both cell lines, release of 8-isoprostane was not blunted by any treatment and increased paradoxically with 16 mM Gln (P < 0.05). Cell viability was higher (P < 0.05) using Gln-AOX vs Gln at 4, 8 and 16 mM in both cell lines.ConclusionsThese results suggest that Gln-AOX is more efficient than Gln alone to preserve cell membrane integrity and viability in intestinal cell lines submitted to oxidative injury.     

Nitric oxide attenuates hydrogen peroxide-induced barrier disruption and protein tyrosine phosphorylation in monolayers of intestinal epithelial cell

The intestinal epithelium provides a barrier to the transport of harmful luminal molecules into the systemic circulation. A dysfunctional epithelial barrier is closely associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of intestinal and systemic disorders. We investigated here the effects of nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on the barrier function of a human intestinal epithelial cell line, Caco-2. When treated with H(2)O(2), Caco-2 cell monolayers grown on permeable supports exhibited several remarkable features of barrier dysfunction as follows: a decrease in transepithelial electrical resistance, an increase in paracellular permeability to dextran, and a disruption of the intercellular junctional localization of the scaffolding protein ZO-1. In addition, an induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous cellular proteins including ZO-1, E-cadherin, and beta-catenin, components of tight and adherens junctions, was observed. On the other hand, combined treatment of Caco-2 monolayers with H(2)O(2) and an NO donor (NOC5 or NOC12) relieved the damage to the barrier function and suppressed the protein tyrosine phosphorylation induced by H(2)O(2) alone. These results suggest that NO protects the barrier function of intestinal epithelia from oxidative stress by modulating some intracellular signaling pathways of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in epithelial cells.     

Cytoprotective effect of reduced glutathione in hydrogen peroxide-induced endothelial cell injury

The kinetic effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on cultured endothelial cells isolated from bovine carotid artery were studied. The cytoprotective effects of glutathione (GSH) on H2O2-induced cell injury were also investigated. H2O2-induced a dose- and time-dependent cell injury in cultured endothelial cells. H2O2-induced cell injury was blocked by simultaneous treatment by catalase, but not by superoxide dismutase. H2O2 also induced endogenous PGI2 biosynthesis, and the maximum PGI2 production was reached after 1 h treatment. Stimulation of PGI2 production was parallel with arachidonate release from H2O2-treated cells. However the prostaglandin biosynthesis enzyme activity in cells was inhibited by H2O2 treatment. When the cells were treated with GSH, the intracellular GSH reached a plateau after 3 h treatment. Both H2O2-induced cell injury and PGI2 production were significantly inhibited by the 3 h pretreatment with GSH. The cytoprotective effect of GSH was completely inhibited by buthionine sulfoximine which is a specific inhibitor of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase. The results indicate that the cytoprotective effect of GSH on H2O2-induced cell injury in cultured bovine carotid artery endothelial cells depends on the increase in intracellular GSH content.     

A polysaccharide isolated from Cordyceps sinensis,a traditional Chinese medicine,protects PC12 cells against hydrogen peroxide-induced injury

Cordyceps sinensis, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, possesses activities in anti-tumour, anti-oxidation and stimulating the immune system; however, the identity of active component(s) is not determined. By using anti-oxidation activity-guided fractionation, a polysaccharide of molecular weight approximately 210 kDa was isolated from cultured Cordyceps mycelia by ion-exchange and sizing chromatography. The isolated polysaccharide, having strong anti-oxidation activity, contains glucose, mannose and galactose in a ratio of 1 : 0.6 : 0.75. The pre-treatment of isolated polysaccharide on the cultured rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells shows strong protective effect against hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced insult. Treatment of the cells with the isolated polysaccharide at 100 microg/ml prior to H(2)O(2) exposure significantly elevated the survival of PC12 cells in culture by over 60%. In parallel, the H(2)O(2)-induced production of malondialdehyde in cultured cells was markedly reduced by the polysaccharide treatment. Moreover, the pre-treatment of the isolated polysaccharide significantly attenuated the changes of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities in H(2)O(2)-treated cells in a dose-dependent manner. This is the first report in identifying a polysaccharide from Cordyceps, which protects against the free radical-induced neuronal cell toxicity.     

Protective role of HSP72 against Clostridium difficile toxin A-induced intestinal epithelial cell dysfunction

We determined whether thecytoprotective heat shock protein HSP72 protects against the injuriouseffects of Clostridium difficile toxin A (TxA) on intestinalepithelial cells. Colonic epithelial Caco-2/bbe (C2) cells were stablytransfected with HSP72 antisense (C2AS) or vector only (C2VC),resulting in low and high HSP72 expression, respectively. Measurementsof epithelial barrier integrity, mitochondrial function, andapoptosis activation were assessed after TxA exposure. HSP72and RhoA interactions were evaluated with immunoprecipitations. In C2AScells, TxA was associated with a greater decrease in transepithelialresistance (TER), an increase in [³H]mannitol flux, andincreased dissociation of perijunctional actin. Although HSP72 bindsRhoA, it failed to prevent RhoA glucosylation. TxA caused a more rapiddecrease in ATP, release of cytochrome c, and activation ofcaspase-9 in C2AS cells. To determine whether ATP depletion decreasesTER, we treated cells with antimycin A, which caused a decline in TER.We conclude that HSP72 may protect intestinal epithelial cells fromTxA-mediated damage through several mechanisms, including actinstabilization, mitochondrial protection, and inhibition ofapoptosis activation, but not by prevention of RhoA glucosylation.
