Protection or sensitization by thiols or ascorbate in irradiated solutions of DNA or deoxyguanosine.
The initial aim of this study was to investigate how charge and other chemical properties of some radical scavengers influence the radiation-induced formation of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in two model systems. The target molecule, deoxyguanosine (dG), was either organized in the DNA-helix form or present as a free nucleoside in an aerated aqueous phosphate buffer. Samples were irradiated with 137Cs gamma rays, alone or in the presence of different thiols, alcohols or ascorbate with net charges from -1 to +1. The formation of 8-oxo-dG was assayed with reverse-phase HPLC coupled to an electrochemical detector. In the absence of radical scavengers, the radiation-induced formation of 8-oxo-dG in DNA was extensive, and the ratio for formation of 8-oxo-dG was 20-fold higher for DNA compared to dG. The yields of 8-oxo-dG in DNA and dG were 7.7 x 10(-3) micromol J(-1) and 3.8 x 10(-4) micromol J(-1), respectively. Yield-dose plots showed that the efficiency of the positively charged thiol cysteamine to counteract the radiation-induced formation of 8-oxo-dG in DNA was significantly (P < 0.001) greater compared to the uncharged or negatively charged thiols. Uncharged thiols were significantly (0.001 < P < 0.05) more effective in protecting DNA compared to negatively charged thiols. In contrast to the protection against oxidative damage provided by thiols and ascorbate when they were present during irradiation of DNA, the formation of 8-oxo-dG was significantly increased when these compounds were present during irradiation of dG in solution. Compared to the irradiated control, the increase was 11- to 116-fold for thiols and ascorbate, respectively. The enhanced oxidative damage of dG observed in the presence of ascorbate or thiols suggests that secondarily formed radicals from thiols or ascorbate may react with dG, or that transformation of different primary sites of damage on dG to 8-oxo-dG is enhanced. 相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that L-glutamine (Gln) or L-alanyl-L-glutamine (Ala-Gln) prevents oxidant- or endotoxin-induced death of neonatal enterocytes. Enterocytes of neonatal pigs rapidly hydrolyzed Ala-Gln and utilized Gln. To determine whether Gln or Ala-Gln has a cytoprotective effect, IPEC-1 cells were cultured for 24 h in Gln-free Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s-F12 Ham medium containing 0, 0.5, 2.0 or 5.0 mM Gln or Ala-Gln, and 0, 0.5 mM H2O2 or 30 ng/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Without Gln or Ala-Gln, H2O2- or LPS-treated cells exhibited almost complete death. Gln or Ala-Gln at 0.5, 2 and 5 mM dose-dependently reduced H2O2- or LPS-induced cell death by 14, 54 and 95%, respectively, whereas d-glutamine, alanine, glutamate, ornithine, proline, glucosamine or nucleosides had no effect. To evaluate the effectiveness of Gln or Ala-Gln in vivo, 7-day-old piglets received one-week oral administration of Gln or Ala-Gln (3.42 mmol/kg body weight) twice daily and then a single intraperitoneal injection of LPS (0.1 mg/kg body weight); piglets were euthanized in 24 and 48 h to analyze intestinal apoptotic proteins and morphology. Administration of Gln or Ala-Gln to LPS-challenged piglets increased Gln concentrations in small-intestinal lumen and plasma, reduced intestinal expression of Toll-like receptor-4, active caspase-3 and NFkB, ameliorated intestinal injury, decreased rectal temperature, and enhanced growth performance. These results demonstrate a protective effect of Gln or Ala-Gln against H2O2- or LPS-induced enterocyte death. The findings support addition of Gln or Ala-Gln to current Gln-free pediatric amino acid solutions to prevent intestinal oxidative injury and inflammatory disease in neonates. 相似文献

A double cannula system, allowing repeated stimulation of central structures with crystalline chemicals, was developed. This technique was employed to study the effects of adrenergic and cholinergic stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus of rats. Drug-specific effects on the feeding and drinking mechanisms, respectively, were observed. 相似文献

Reaction conditions for the synthesis of L-tyrosine or L-dopa from DL-serine and phenol or pyrocatechol were studied with intact cells of Erwinia herbicola (ATCC 21434) containing high tyrosine phenol lyase activity. The optimum pH for this reaction was around 8.0, and the optimum temperature range was between 37~40°C for the synthesis of L-tyrosine and between 15~25°C for that of L-dopa. Sodium sulfite and EDTA were added to protect the synthesized L-dopa from decomposition. As high concentrations of phenol or pyrocatechol denatured the enzyme, each substrate was fed to maintain the optimum concentration during incubation.The reaction mixture (100 ml) containing 4.0 g of DL-serine, 1.0 g of phenol or 0.7 g of pyrocatechol, 0.5 g of ammonium acetate and the cells, was incubated. During incubation, phenol or pyrocatechol was fed at intervals to maintain the substrate at the initial concentration. 5.35 g of L-tyrosine or 5.10 g of L-dopa was synthesized in 100 ml of the reaction mixture. 相似文献

In the dynamics of an evolutionary game an equilibrium in which all strategy types occur is called an interior equilibrium. Interior equilibria fail to exist only when there is domination among the strategy types. 相似文献

A progressive silver staining method is described, which permits microscopic examination of the sections during the staining process. After formaldehyde fixation, dehydration and embedding in paraffin or celloidin, fine fibers and synaptic endings may be demonstrated. After formaldehyde fixation and mordanting in 3% K2Cr2O7, myelinated fibers and mitochondria are specifically stained.The unique feature of this method is, that the silver solution (0.5% protargol) is mixed with the reducing solution: 1.6% Rochelle salts, containing traces of Ag NO3, MgSO4, and K2S (U.S.P.). The sections are placed directly into this mixture, which is then warmed to 45-55° C. Sections are removed when progressive staining is completed, washed in water, dehydrated and mounted.In the fiber stain, nerve fibers and synaptic endings are dark brown or black, and nuclear chromatin is deep brown, against a pale yellow background. When the myelin sheath procedure is followed, the fiber bundles are deep brown, and the intensity of the staining remains the same for specific tracts, aiding in their identification. 相似文献
