The incorporation of P32 from (γ?32P)ATP into lung proteins was examined using lung extracts from mice which had been injected with BHT. Increased phosphorylation, relative to mice not treated with BHT, was associated with proteins of 87,000 M.W. (5–12 fold) and 135,000 M.W. (40–70%). These changes in phosphorylation correlated in time with the transient lung enlargement induced by BHT and were dependent upon the dose of BHT. Antioxidants and structural derivatives of BHT which did not affect lung size also had no effect on lung protein phosphorylation. BHT slightly increased cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity but had no effect on cyclic AMP-binding activity. 相似文献

The antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), causes lung toxicity in mice followed by regenerative repair, and can also modulate the development of carcinogen-induced lung adenomas. We are investigating changes in pulmonary biochemistry following BHT treatment in order to understand the mechanisms of BHT-induced pulmonary regenerative repair. BHT administration lowered cytosolic Ca2+-activated neutral protease (calpain) activity, increased the activity of the endogenous calpain inhibitor, calpastatin, increased the extent of photoincorporation of 8-N3-[32P]cAMP into a Mr 37,000 proteolytic product derived from cAMP-dependent protein kinase regulatory (R) subunits, and increased membrane-associated protease activity. All of these changes were dependent on the BHT dosage; the altered proteolytic activities occurred at a dose lower than that which caused observable lung toxicity as assessed by the lung weight/body weight ratio. Decreased cytosolic calpain activity was detectable within 1 day after BHT administration, was lowest at 4-7 days, and had not returned to control levels by Day 21, a time when normal lung morphology had been regained. The decrease in calpain activity cannot fully be accounted for by increased calpastatin activity; upon separation of these proteins by DEAE chromatography, the amount of calpain activity from BHT-treated mice remained lower than the corresponding peak from control mice. Increased photolabeling of the Mr 37,000 protein began at 1 day and continued to increase up to 4 days after BHT. All of the cytosolic changes preceded the increased particulate proteolytic activity by 1-2 days. R-subunits which have dissociated from their catalytic subunits are more susceptible to degradation by calpain, but BHT treatment did not enhance subunit dissociation as determined by the elution profile of 8-N3-[32P]cAMP-labeled R-subunits following DEAE chromatography. A large percentage of the particulate protease activity was inhibited by calpastatin, leupeptin, and E-64, all of which are known to inhibit calpain activity; this suggested that calpain accounted for most of this activity. Changes in the activities of proteases which catalyze limited proteolysis reactions may play an important role in the repair of acute lung injury. 相似文献

Inhibition of the mono-oxygenase system by butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The commonly used food-additive antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene, are inhibitors of the hepatic microsomal mono-oxygenase system, as assayed by benzpyrene hydroxylase activity and demethylase activities. Generally, butylated hydroxyanisole is a more potent inhibitor than butylated hydroxytoluene. Both inhibitors bind to cytochrome P-450 and induce “type I” binding spectra. Cytochrome P-450 is tentatively assigned as the site of inhibition. 相似文献

Differential effects of butylated hydroxytoluene analogs on bull sperm subjected to cold-induced membrane stress. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous reports established that butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) minimized cold-induced membrane rupture in sperm from several species. No data regarding the specificity of its effect is available. In this study 25 BHT analogs were tested for their effect on bovine sperm membrane stability. Fourteen were membrane lytic at 25 degrees C and 6 were neither membrane lytic nor membrane stabilizing. The remaining 5 compounds, a family of 2,6-tert-butyl phenols with substitutions at position 4 of hydrogen, methyl (BHT), ethyl, butyl, hexyl, or octyl, afforded effective membrane protection to cold shock. Since membrane protection is a function of both the ability of a compound to partition into the membrane and a molecule's effectiveness once there, an analysis of each analog's membrane partitioning, assessed by measuring the cellular analog/cholesterol ratio, showed the following extents of transfer for the analogs: ethyl = butyl greater than methyl = hydrogen greater than hexyl greater than octyl. Thus, an optimum chain length exists for partitioning from micellar donors into cells. A separate experiment established that all analogs, when incorporated in equivalent amounts, protect equally plasma and mitochondrial membranes from cold shock. No effect on acrosomal membrane stability was noted. BHT, but not the other analogs, reduced sperm motility. Addition of egg yolk to extender containing BHT analog protected sperm motility from cold shock but had little effect on membrane stabilization. Analysis of sperm membrane compartments revealed that little to no analog was partitioned into the outer acrosomal membrane or the plasma membrane overlying the acrosome, but rather was localized in other portions of the sperm. We conclude that (a) the effective BHT analogs, if partitioned into the membrane, are indistinguishable with regard to their capacity to eliminate cold-induced membrane lysis; (b) membrane-linked events (e.g., motility) are uniquely disrupted by a subset of this analog family; and (c) when concentrations of egg yolk and BHT analogs are carefully controlled, unique synergistic effects are noted. 相似文献

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an effective, widely used, low cost antioxidant. A host of studies examining the potential of BHT to cause point mutations have been published. They include in vitro studies on various bacterial species and strains and on various types of mammalian cell lines as well as in vivo studies on Drosophila melanogaster, silk worms and also the mouse specific locus test (involving long-term exposure). Together these studies convincingly show the absence of a potential for BHT to cause point mutations. A great number of studies on many cell types and species have also been carried out to examine the potential of BHT to cause chromosome aberrations. In vitro studies have been published using plant cells and the WI-38, CHL, CHO, and V79 mammalian cell lines. In vivo studies have been carried out on somatic and/or germ cells of Drosophila melanogaster, rats and mice. Nearly all studies, especially those using validated test systems, indicate that BHT lacks clastogenic potential. In vitro studies on bacterial, yeast and various mammalian cell lines including DON, CHO, CHL cells and primary hepatocytes demonstrate the absence of interactions with or damage to DNA. Taking all the existing data into account, the weight of evidence suggests that BHT does not represent a relevant mutagenic/genotoxic risk to man. 相似文献

Administration of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) to mice causes lung damage characterized by the death of alveolar type I pneumocytes and the proliferation and subsequent differentiation of type II cells to replace them. Herein, we demonstrate this injury elicits an inflammatory response marked by chemokine secretion, alveolar macrophage recruitment, and elevated expression of enzymes in the eicosanoid pathway. Cytosolic phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) catalyzes release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids to initiate the synthesis of prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators. A role for cPLA(2) in this response was examined by determining cPLA(2) expression and enzymatic activity in distal respiratory epithelia and macrophages and by assessing the consequences of cPLA(2) genetic ablation. BHT-induced lung inflammation, particularly monocyte infiltration, was depressed in cPLA(2) null mice. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid increases after BHT treatment but before monocyte influx, suggesting a causative role. Bronchiolar Clara cells isolated from cPLA(2) null mice secrete less MCP-1 than Clara cells from wild-type mice, consistent with the hypothesis that cPLA(2) is required to secrete sufficient MCP-1 to induce an inflammatory monocytic response. 相似文献

Amine or amide derivatives bearing the 2,6-di-tert-butyl phenol moiety are synthesised. Almost all are antioxidants, reduce acute inflammation and inhibit COX-1 and lipoxygenase activity. The most potent anti-inflammatory, COX-1 inhibitor and antioxidant agent, with low toxicity, is 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-thiomorpholin-4-ylmethyl-phenol. 相似文献

To clarify the radical-scavenging activity of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), a food additive, stoichiometric factors (n) and inhibition rate constants (kinh) were determined for 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and its metabolites 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone (BHT-Q), 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (BHA-CHO) and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroperoxy-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-one (BHT-OOH). Values of n and kinh were determined from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) monitoring of the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated by 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) or benzoyl peroxide (BPO) at 70 °C in the presence or absence of antioxidants (BHT-related compounds). The n values declined in the order BHT (1–2) > BHT-CHO, BHT-OOH (0.1–0.3) > BHT-Q (0). The n value for BHT with AIBN was approximately 1.0, suggesting dimerization of BHT. The kinh values declined in the order BHT-Q ((3.5–4.6)×104 M−1 s−1) > BHT-OOH (0.7–1.9×104 M−1 s−1) > BHT-CHO ((0.4–1.7)×104 M−1 s−1) > BHT ((0.1–0.2)×104 M−1 s−1). The kinh for metabolites was greater than that for the parent BHT. Growing MMA radicals initiated by BPO were suppressed much more efficiently by BHT or BHT-Q compared with those initiated by AIBN. BHT was effective as a chain-breaking antioxidant. 相似文献

Effect of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) on the quality of frozen-thawed Holstein bull sperm in egg yolk-citrate extender was evaluated. High quality semen samples were diluted in egg yolk-citrate extenders containing 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mM BHT and subsequently frozen in liquid nitrogen. Pre-freeze and post-thaw progressive motility, and live/dead ratio and acrosomal integrity of 200 sperm per slide, stained with Eosin-Nigrosin and Giemsa, were evaluated at 0, 2 and 4 h after thawing. There was a significant decrease in forward motility, livability and acrosomal integrity up to 4 h after thawing the frozen sperm. Upon thawing, sperm progressive motility at 1 mM BHT was significantly (P<0.001) higher (11%) than other groups, but percentages of live sperm and live sperm with intact acrosomes were higher at 0.5 mM BHT. BHT at 4 mM BHT caused a significant decrease in motility, livability and acrosomal integrity during preparatory stages of freezing sperm. It is concluded that 0.5-1.0 mM BHT can be beneficial for freezing Holstein bull spermatozoa in egg yolk-citrate diluent, when inseminated immediately after thawing. 相似文献

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at concentrations of 300-6000 ppm in the diet caused a dose-dependent increase in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity in normal F344 male rat liver at 18 weeks. However, the activities of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) of rat liver cytosol were enhanced only at concentrations of 3000 or 6000 ppm BHT. Histochemically, the enhanced GGT activity was localized to hepatocytes surrounding the portal areas. Autoradiographic measurements of DNA synthesis showed that dietary BHT did not increase the level of cell proliferation and the GGT-positive hepatocytes did not exhibit different rates of DNA synthesis from those of GGT-negative cells. Feeding of the liver carcinogen N-2-fluorenylacetamide (FAA) induced foci and nodules of GGT-positive altered cells which exhibited higher rates of DNA synthesis than those of surrounding GGT-negative hepatocytes. Following iron loading, the periportal GGT-positive hepatocytes produced by BHT accumulated cellular iron, whereas the cells in FAA-induced lesions excluded iron. These results suggest that dietary BHT induces GGT activity in periportal hepatocytes without proliferation of the cells and that induction does not represent fetal expression or a preneoplastic alteration. 相似文献
