Constant production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during aerobic metabolism is balanced by antioxidant defense system of
an organism. Although low level of ROS is important for various physiological functions, its accumulation has been implicated
in the pathogenesis of age-related diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders such
as Alzheimer’s disease. It is generally assumed that frequent consumption of phytochemicals derived from vegetables, fruits,
tea and herbs may contribute to shift the balance towards an adequate antioxidant status. The present study is aimed to investigate
the effect of aqueous extract of medicinal plant Terminalia arjuna on antioxidant defense system in lymphoma bearing AKR mice. Antioxidant action of T. arjuna is monitored by the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione S transferase which constitute major antioxidant
defense system by scavenging ROS. These enzyme activities are low in lymphoma bearing mice indicating impaired antioxidant
defense system. Oral administration of different doses of aqueous extract of T. arjuna causes significant elevation in the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione S transferase. T. arjuna is found to down regulate anaerobic metabolism by inhibiting the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in lymphoma bearing mice,
which was elevated in untreated cancerous mice. The results indicate the antioxidant action of aqueous extract of T. arjuna, which may play a role in the anti carcinogenic activity by reducing the oxidative stress along with inhibition of anaerobic
metabolism. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and is associated with poor prognosis. The current study aimed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of resveratrol when administered alone and in combination with nicotinamide against alcohol‐aflatoxin B1‐induced HCC. Results reveal that during the development and progression of cancer, there was a decline in the level of antioxidant enzymes catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase (GR), antioxidant glutathione, and glutathione S‐transferase, which is an enzyme of detoxification pathways. Treatment of resveratrol restored the level of catalase and glutathione peroxidase toward normal in alcohol‐aflatoxin B1‐induced HCC; however, nicotinamide worked in concert with resveratrol only in upregulating the activity of glutathione reductase, glutathione level, and glutathione S‐transferase. SIRT1 agonist resveratrol was observed to modulate the activity of antioxidant enzymes by negatively regulating the expression of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) in alcohol‐aflatoxin B1‐induced HCC, thereby suggesting a cross‐talk between antioxidant enzymes SIRT1 and NF‐κB during the development and progression of HCC and its therapeutics by resveratrol and nicotinamide. 相似文献

The cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor 2,6‐dichlorobenzonitrile (DCB) has been widely used to gain insights into cell wall composition and architecture. Studies of changes during early habituation to DCB can provide information on mechanisms that allow tolerance/habituation to DCB. In this context, maize‐cultured cells with a reduced amount of cellulose (~20%) were obtained by stepwise habituation to low DCB concentrations. The results reported here attempt to elucidate the putative role of an antioxidant strategy during incipient habituation. The short‐term exposure to DCB of non‐habituated maize‐cultured cells induced a substantial increase in oxidative damage. Concomitantly, short‐term treated cells presented an increase in class III peroxidase and glutathione S‐transferase activities and total glutathione content. Maize cells habituated to 0.3–1 µM DCB (incipient habituation) were characterized by a reduction in the relative cell growth rate, an enhancement of ascorbate peroxidase and class III peroxidase activities, and a net increment in total glutathione content. Moreover, these cell lines showed increased levels of glutathione S‐transferase activity. Changes in antioxidant/conjugation status enabled 0.3 and 0.5 µM DCB‐habituated cells to control lipid peroxidation levels, but this was not the case of maize cells habituated to 1 μM DCB, which despite showing an increased antioxidant capacity were not capable of reducing the oxidative damage to control levels. The results reported here confirm that exposure and incipient habituation of maize cells to DCB are associated with an enhancement in antioxidant/conjugation activities which could play a role in incipient DCB habituation of maize‐cultured cells. 相似文献

Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) is present in high concentrations in the desert shrub Creosote bush, Larrea tridentate. This plant has been used in traditional medicine because of its beneficial effects related, at least in part, to its antioxidant properties. Taking into account some evidence about neuroprotective effects elicited by NDGA, we evaluated the effect of this compound on the neurotoxicity induced by iodoacetate (IAA), an inhibitor of glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), on cerebellar granule neurons. In addition, as reactive oxygen species play an important role in IAA‐induced cytotoxicity, we also studied the enzymatic antioxidant system in IAA‐treated cells. We found that IAA caused a dose‐dependent decrease in cell viability of cultured neurons with an IC50 of 18.4 µM and induced increased activity of catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione‐S‐transferase. Moreover, NDGA attenuated the toxicity induced by 18.4, 25, and 30 µM of IAA without abolishing the inhibitory effect of IAA on GAPDH activity. Furthermore, NDGA could prevent the inhibitory effect of IAA on aconitase activity, a marker of oxidative stress, suggesting that the protective effect of NDGA on IAA neurotoxicity was associated with the prevention of oxidative stress. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Heart failure (HF) is one of diabetic complications. This work was designed to investigate the possible modulatory effect of curcumin against streptozotocin‐induced diabetes and consequently HF in rats. Rats were divided into control, vehicle‐treated, curcumin‐treated, diabetic‐untreated, diabetic curcumin–treated, and diabetic glibenclamide–treated groups. Animal treatment was started 5 days after induction of diabetes and extended for 6 weeks. Diabetic rats showed significant increase in serum glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein‐cholesterol, nitric oxide, lactate dehydrogenase, cardiac malondialdehyde, plasma levels of interleukin‐6, and tumor necrosis factor‐alpha, and also showed marked decrease in serum high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol, cardiac reduced glutathione, and cardiac antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione‐S‐transferase). However, curcumin or glibenclamide treatment significantly mitigated such changes. In conclusion, curcumin has a beneficial therapeutic effect in diabetes‐induced HF, an effect that might be attributable to its antioxidant and suppressive activity on cytokines. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the ameliorative property and potential mechanism of resveratrol (RVT) in a dose of 10 mg/kg for 15 consecutive days against liver injury in streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats. Diabetic rats significantly (P < 0.05) exhibited liver injury manifested by increased aspartylaminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and bilirubin; disturbed liver weight to body weight; and confirmed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Liver from diabetic rats exhibited significant increase in malondialdehyde level and significant decrease in reduced glutathione, glutathione‐S‐transferase, quinone reductase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase. Diabetic rats showed significant disturbance in serum lipid profile. Treatment with RVT significantly (P < 0.05) abrogated diabetes‐induced perturbation in these parameters and liver histology. These data suggest that RVT treatment is associated with promising hepatoprotective effect against diabetes‐induced liver damage via reduction of serum glucose level and oxidative damage and improving serum lipid profile. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Was demonstrate the protection ability against reactive oxygen species afforded toS. cerevisiae (wild-type strain SP4 and its mutants deficient in major antioxidant enzymes—catalase T and A, CuZnSOD) by PYA and PYE, new
groups of phenolic antioxidants (quaternary ammonium salts of dihydrocinnamic acid amino esters with different alkyl chains;
synthesized in this laboratory). The survival of strains exposed to the lipophilic oxidation inducerstert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and 1,1′-azobis(4-cyclohexane carbonitrile) (ACCN) with or without antioxidant pretreatment was
determined by platingS. cerevisiae mutant deficient in SOD was found to be hypersensitive to TBHP and ACCN while the sensitivity of the strain deficient in
catalase T and A was about the same as in the wild-type strain. A 1-h preincubation of cells of both the wild-type and the
mutant strains with the phenolic antioxidants prior to exposure to TBHP or ACCN substantially increased the cell survival.
The magnitude of protection depended on the strain and the length of the alkyl chain of the antioxidant; the best average
protection against TBHP was provided by PYE and PYA compounds with 12-and 16-membered alkyl chains whereas PYE-8 and PYA-12
derivatives, afforded the best average protection against ACCN. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible therapeutic effects of curcumin (CUR), against acrylamide (AA)‐induced toxic effects on Leydig cells. The AA and CUR‐treated cells were evaluated for cell viability, lipid peroxidation, reactive oxygen species (hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide), antioxidant levels (glutathione peroxidase, glutathione‐S‐transferase, and catalase), apoptosis/necrosis rates and phosphorylation status of mitogen‐activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Leydig cells were exposed to four concentrations of AA (1, 10, 100, 1000 µM) in the presence and absence of CUR (2.5 µM) for 24 hours. According to the present result, AA concentration‐dependently, increased the oxidative stress parameters and suppressed the antioxidant enzyme levels, meanwhile induced apoptosis and activated the phosphorylation of extracellular signal‐regulated kinase, p38, and c‐Jun NH 2‐terminal kinase. Moreover, CUR ameliorated the detrimental effects of AA. Thus, AA‐induced apoptosis through activation of the MAPK signaling pathway and CUR has a protective effect against AA‐induced damage in Leydig cells. 相似文献

Regulation of the balance between production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by cellular processes and its removal by antioxidant
defense system maintains normal physiological processes. Any condition leading to increased ROS results in oxidative stress
which has been related with a number of diseases including cancer. Improvement in antioxidant defense system is required to
overcome the damaging effects of oxidative stress. Therefore in the present study, effect of the aqueous extract of a medicinal
plant Andrographis paniculata (AP) on antioxidant defense system in liver is investigated in lymphoma bearing AKR mice. Estimating catalase, superoxide
dismutase and glutathione S transferase monitored the antioxidant action. Oral administration of the aqueous extract of A. paniculata in different doses causes a significant elevation of catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione S transferase activities.
It reveals the antioxidant action of the aqueous extract of AP, which may play a role in the anticarcinogenic activity by
reducing the oxidative stress. LDH activity is known to increase in various cancers due to hypoxic condition. Lactate dehydrogenase
is used as tumor marker. We find a significant decrease in LDH activity on treatment with AP, which indicates a decrease in
carcinogenic activity. A comparison with Doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancerous drug, indicates that the aqueous extract of AP
is more effective than DOX with respect to its effect on catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione S transferase as well
as on lactate dehydrogenase activities in liver of lymphoma bearing mice. 相似文献

The present study was aimed at determining the oxidative damage caused by sodium arsenite in 3T3 fibroblast cells and the possible protective role of curcumin (Cur) against sodium arsenite toxicity. Embryonic fibroblast cells were exposed to sodium arsenite (0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 μM) in the presence and absence of Cur (2.5 μM) for 24 hours. Cell viability, cytotoxicity, lipid peroxidation, hydroxyl radical, hydrogen peroxide, antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione‐S‐transferase) and expression levels of antioxidant genes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) were measured in embryonic fibroblast cells. Results demonstrated that sodium arsenite directly affects antioxidant enzymes and genes in 3T3 embryonic fibroblast cells and induces oxidative damage by increasing the amount of hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, and lipid peroxidation in the cell. Furthermore, the study indicated that Cur might be a potential ameliorative antioxidant to protect the fibroblast cell toxicity induced by sodium arsenite. 相似文献

Pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) clivorine, isolated from traditional Chinese medicinal plant Ligularia hodgsonii Hook, has been shown to induce apoptosis in hepatocytes via mitochondrial‐mediated apoptotic pathway in our previous research. The present study was designed to observe the protection of N‐acetyl‐cysteine (NAC) on clivorine‐induced hepatocytes apoptosis. Our results showed that 5 mM NAC significantly reversed clivorine‐induced cytotoxicity via MTT and Trypan Blue staining assay. DNA apoptotic fragmentation analysis and Western‐blot results showed that NAC decreased clivorine‐induced apoptotic DNA ladder and caspase‐3 activation. Further results showed that NAC inhibited clivorine‐induced Bcl‐xL decrease, mitochondrial cytochrome c release and caspase‐9 activation. Intracellular glutathione (GSH) is an important ubiquitous redox‐active reducing sulfhydryl (? SH) tripeptide, and our results showed that clivorine (50 µM) decreased cellular GSH amounts and the ratio of GSH/GSSG in the time‐dependent manner, while 5 mM NAC obviously reversed this depletion. Further results showed that GSH synthesis inhibitor BSO augmented clivorine‐induced cytotoxicity, while exogenous GSH reversed its cytotoxicity on hepatocytes. Clivorine (50 µM) significantly induced cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Further results showed that 50 µM Clivorine decreased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and increased glutathione S transferase (GST) activity, which are both GSH‐related antioxidant enzymes. Thioredoxin‐1 (Trx) is also a ubiquitous redox‐active reducing (? SH) protein, and clivorine (50 µM) decreased cellular expression of Trx in a time‐dependent manner, while 5 mM NAC reversed this decrease. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the protection of NAC is major via maintaining cellular reduced environment and thus prevents clivorine‐induced mitochondrial‐mediated hepatocytes apoptosis.

Response of the antioxidant defense system to tert-butyl hydroperoxide and hydrogen peroxide in a human hepatoma cell line (HepG2) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Alía M Ramos S Mateos R Bravo L Goya L 《Journal of biochemical and molecular toxicology》2005,19(2):119-128
The aim of this work was to investigate the response of the antioxidant defense system to two oxidative stressors, hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, in HepG2 cells in culture. The parameters evaluated included enzyme activity and gene expression of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and activity of glutathione reductase. Besides, markers of the cell damage and oxidative stress evoked by the stressors such as cell viability, intracellular reactive oxygen species generation, malondialdehyde levels, and reduced glutathione concentration were evaluated. Both stressors, hydrogen peroxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, enhanced cell damage and reactive oxygen species generation at doses above 50 microM. The concentration of reduced glutathione decreased, and levels of malondialdehyde and activity of the antioxidant enzymes consistently increased only when HepG2 cells were treated with tert-butyl hydroperoxide but not when hydrogen peroxide was used. A slight increase in the gene expression of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase and catalase with 500 microM tert-butyl hydroperoxide and of catalase with 200 microM hydrogen peroxide was observed. The response of the components of the antioxidant defense system evaluated in this study indicates that tert-butyl hydroperoxide evokes a consistent cellular stress in HepG2. 相似文献

The potential protective role of Tribulus terrestris in acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in Oreochromis mossambicus was investigated. The effect of oral exposure of acetaminophen (500 mg/kg) in O. mossambicus at 24-h duration was evaluated. The plant extract (250 mg/kg) showed a remarkable hepatoprotective activity against acetaminophen-induced
hepatotoxicity. It was judged from the tissue-damaging level and antioxidant levels in liver, gill, muscle and kidney tissues.
Further acetaminophen impact induced a significant rise in the tissue-damaging level, and the antioxidant level was discernible
from the enzyme activity modulations such as glutamate oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamate pyruvic transaminase, alkaline
phosphatase, acid phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione
peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, lipid peroxidase and reduced glutathione. The levels of all
these enzymes have significantly (p < 0.05) increased in acetaminophen-treated fish tissues. The elevated levels of these enzymes were significantly controlled
by the treatment of T. terrestris extract (250 kg/mg). Histopathological changes of liver, gill and muscle samples were compared with respective controls.
The results of the present study specify the hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties of T. terrestris against acetaminophen-induced toxicity in freshwater fish, O. mossambicus. 相似文献

Adaptive response is the ability of an organism to better counterattack stress‐induced damage in response to a number of different cytotoxic agents. Monosodium L‐glutamate (MSG), the sodium salt of amino acid glutamate, is commonly used as a food additive. We investigated the effects of MSG on the life span and antioxidant response in Drosophila melanogaster (D. melanogaster). Both genders (1 to 3 days old) of flies were fed with diet containing MSG (0.1, 0.5, and 2.5‐g/kg diet) for 5 days to assess selected antioxidant and oxidative stress markers, while flies for longevity were fed for lifetime. Thereafter, the longevity assay, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species levels were determined. Also, catalase, glutathione S‐transferase and acetylcholinesterase activities, and total thiol content were evaluated in the flies. We found that MSG reduced the life span of the flies by up to 23% after continuous exposure. Also, MSG increased reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and H2O2 generations and total thiol content as well as the activities of catalase and glutathione S‐transferase in D. melanogaster (P < .05). In conclusion, consumption of MSG for 5 days by D. melanogaster induced adaptive response, but long‐term exposure reduced life span of flies. This study may therefore have public health significance in humans, and thus, moderate consumption of MSG is advocated by the authors. 相似文献

The effect of paraquat on the activities of antioxidant defense and detoxifying enzymes of the white-rot fungusFunalia trogii was determined. Paraquat increased the activities of glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione transferase (GT) and superoxide
dismutase at 1 mmol/L, while at 0.1 mmol/L it did not affect the activity of GR and GT. It depressed the catalase activity
and the amount of glutathione at all concentrations used. Paraquat treatment probably depresses antioxidant defense components
such as catalase and glutathione. 相似文献

Overdoses of acetaminophen (APAP), a famous and widely used drug, may have hepatotoxic effects. Nanoscience is a novel scientific discipline that provides specific tools for medical science problems including using nano trace elements in hepatic diseases. Our study aimed to assess the hepatoprotective role of selenium nanoparticles (Nano-Se) against APAP-induced hepatic injury. Twenty-four male rats were classified into three equal groups: a control group that received 0.9 % NaCl, an APAP-treated group (oral administration), and a group treated with Nano-Se (10–20 nm, intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection) and APAP (oral administration). APAP overdose induced significant elevations in liver function biomarkers, hepatic lipid peroxidation, hepatic catalase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD), decreased the reduced glutathione (GSH) content and glutathione reductase (GR) activity, and stimulated significant DNA damage in hepatocytes, compared to control rats. Nano-Se administration improved the hepatic antioxidant protection mechanism and decreased cellular sensitivity to DNA fragmentation. Nano-Se exhibits a protective effect against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity through improved liver function and oxidative stress mediated by catalase, SOD, and GSH and decreases hepatic DNA fragmentation, a hepatic biomarker of cell death. Nano-Se could be a novel hepatoprotective strategy to inhibit oxidative stress. 相似文献
