Antioxidant activity of resveratrol in endotoxin-stimulated blood platelets   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Resveratrol (3,4′,5-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural molecule with antioxidant action. It is also considered to be a molecule with antiplatelet, anticancer and anti-inflammatory action. The effects of trans-resveratrol on the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in blood platelets induced by endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) or thrombin were studiedin vitro. The production of superoxide radicals (O2 .–) and other reactive oxygen species (H2O2, singlet oxygen, and organic radicals) in the presence of resveratrol was measured by a chemiluminescence method in resting blood platelets and platelets stimulated by LPS (0.3 μg/108 platelets) or thrombin (2.5 U/108 platelets). We have shown that resveratrol (6.25–100 μg/ml) inhibits chemiluminescence and generation of O2 .– in blood platelets. It has an inhibitory effect on the production of ROS and TBARS in platelets caused by LPS or thrombin. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Resveratrol is believed to be partially responsible for the French paradox—the low risk of cardiovascular disease despite a high-fat diet in the French population. Recently, resveratrol has also been discussed as a life-span booster in several organisms. Age-related diseases are associated on the cellular level with senescence. We, therefore, hypothesized that resveratrol is vasoprotective by counteracting endothelial cell senescence. Surprisingly, we observed that chronic treatment with resveratrol (10 μM) was prosenescent in primary human endothelial cells. Resveratrol induced elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels that were associated with and causally linked to an accumulation of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle, as measured by flow cytometry. We further show that cell accumulation in S phase leads to increased ROS and finally senescence. Using an siRNA approach, we clearly identified two NADPH oxidases, Nox1 and Nox4, as major targets of resveratrol and primary sources of ROS that act upstream of the observed S-phase accumulation.  相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS; superoxide, peroxide, and hydroxyl radical) are thought to contribute to the rapid bactericidal activity of diverse antimicrobial agents. The possibility has been raised that consumption of antioxidants in food may interfere with the lethal action of antimicrobials. Whether nutritional supplements containing antioxidant activity are also likely to interfere with antimicrobial lethality is unknown. To examine this possibility, resveratrol, a popular antioxidant dietary supplement, was added to cultures of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus that were then treated with antimicrobial and assayed for bacterial survival and the recovery of mutants resistant to an unrelated antimicrobial, rifampicin. Resveratrol, at concentrations likely to be present during human consumption, caused a 2- to 3-fold reduction in killing during a 2-hr treatment with moxifloxacin or kanamycin. At higher, but still subinhibitory concentrations, resveratrol reduced antimicrobial lethality by more than 3 orders of magnitude. Resveratrol also reduced the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) characteristic of treatment with quinolone (oxolinic acid). These data support the general idea that the lethal activity of some antimicrobials involves ROS. Surprisingly, subinhibitory concentrations of resveratrol promoted (2- to 6-fold) the recovery of rifampicin-resistant mutants arising from the action of ciprofloxacin, kanamycin, or daptomycin. This result is consistent with resveratrol reducing ROS to sublethal levels that are still mutagenic, while the absence of resveratrol allows ROS levels to high enough to kill mutagenized cells. Suppression of antimicrobial lethality and promotion of mutant recovery by resveratrol suggests that the antioxidant may contribute to the emergence of resistance to several antimicrobials, especially if new derivatives and/or formulations of resveratrol markedly increase bioavailability.  相似文献

The involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of alcoholic diseases in the liver has been repeatedly confirmed. Resveratrol, a natural phytoalexin present in grape skin and red wine possesses a variety of biological activities including antioxidant. This study was conducted to evaluate whether resveratrol has a preventive effect on the main indicators of hepatic oxidative status as an expression of the cellular damage caused by free radicals, and on antioxidant defence mechanism during chronic ethanol treatment. Wistar rats were treated daily with 35% ethanol solution (3 g/kg/day i.p.) during 6 weeks and fed basal diet or basal diet containing 5 g/kg resveratrol. Control rats were treated with i.p. saline and fed basal diet. Experimentally, chronic ethanol administration leads to hepatotoxicity as monitored by the increase in the level of hepatic marker enzymes and the appearance of fatty change, necrosis, fibrosis and inflammation in liver sections. Ethanol also enhanced the formation of MDA in the liver indicating an increase in lipid peroxidation, a major end-point of oxidative damage, and caused drastic alterations in antioxidant defence systems. Particularly the activities of hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) were found reduced by ethanol treatment while glutathione reductase (GR) activity was unchanged. Dietary supplementation with resveratrol during ethanol treatment inhibited hepatic lipid peroxidation and ameliorated SOD, GPx and CAT activities in the liver. Conclusively, we can suggest that resveratrol could have a beneficial effect in inhibiting the oxidative damage induced by chronic ethanol administration, which was proved by the experiments that we conducted on rats.  相似文献

Oxidative stress has been considered as a major cause of cellular injuries in a variety of clinical abnormalities. One of the plausible ways to prevent the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cellular injury is dietary or pharmaceutical augmentation of endogenous antioxidant defense capacity. Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), one of the major antioxidative constituents found in the skin of grapes, has been considered to be responsible in part for the protective effects of red wine consumption against coronary heart disease ('French Pardox'). In this study, we have investigated the effects of resveratrol on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress and apoptotic death in cultured rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. PC12 cells treated with hydrogen peroxide underwent apoptotic death as determined by characteristic morphological features, internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and positive in situ end-labeling by terminal transferase (TUNEL staining). Resveratrol pretreatment attenuated hydrogen peroxide-induced cytotoxicity, DNA fragmentation, and intracellular accumulation of ROS. Hydrogen peroxide transiently induced activation of NF-kappaB in PC12 cells, which was mitigated by resveratrol pretreatment. These results suggest that resveratrol has the potential to prevent oxidative stress-induced cell death.  相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a glycolipid component of the cell wall of gram negative bacteria inducing deleterious effects on the kidney. Endotoxemia-induced nephrotoxicity is characterized by disturbed intracellular redox balance and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation leading to DNA, proteins and membrane lipid damages. Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene) is a polyphenol displaying antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated its effects on LPS-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Resveratrol counteracted all LPS-induced changes in renal haemodynamic parameters. In the kidney resveratrol abrogated LPS-induced lipoperoxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities depletion as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) but not peroxidase (POD) activity. LPS increased plasma and urine nitric oxide (NO) level and resveratrol reversed them. More importantly, LPS-induced iron mobilization from plasma to kidney, which was also abolished by resveratrol treatment. All these results suggest that resveratrol exerted strong antioxidant properties against LPS-induced nephrotoxicity and that its mode of action seemed to involve iron shuttling proteins.  相似文献

We have studied the effect of resveratrol on lipoperoxidation and antioxidant enzyme activity level in the brain of healthy rats. When intraperitoneally administered, resveratrol significantly and dose dependently decreased brain malondialdehyde level. Resveratrol also increased in a dose-dependent way brain superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase activities. Optimal effect on antioxidant enzyme and lipoperoxidation products were obtained with resveratrol concentration of 12.5 mg/kg body wt. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of antioxidant isoenzymes revealed that resveratrol up regulated at least two acidic superoxide dismutase isoforms called A1 and A2, two basic isoforms called B1 and B2. Resveratrol also up regulated two catalase isoforms and a broad peroxidase band corresponding to several isoforms. All these findings suggest that resveratrol is able to cross the blood brain barrier and exerts potent antioxidant features. Resveratrol also exerts neuroprotective properties by up regulating several detoxifying enzymes, most of which are iron proteins.  相似文献

Trans-resveratrol, one of the antioxidants found in red wine, has been the subject of controversial reports regarding its protective role against cardiovascular diseases. In this study we synthesized trans-resveratrol and injected it to rats (20 and 40 mg/kg body weight, once a day for 21 days, i.p.) to determine its effect on the serum lipid profile. Synthetic trans-resveratrol was an effective antioxidant in vitro against hydroxyl radical (I50 = 33 μM). Resveratrol treatment, however, did not have any effect on either the lipid profile or on Cu+2-dependent formation of thiobarbi-turic-acid-reactive substances (TBARS) from protein-associated lipids. Since the amount of resveratrol used in these experiments was orders of magnitude higher than the amounts found in wine, these results suggest that if resveratrol has any effect against coronary heart diseases, it is not related to its antioxidant role on lipids or to changes in lipoprotein profile.  相似文献

Resveratrol (RSV) analogues have attracted much attention because of the expected health functions including antioxidant activities. We have carried out a quantitative determination of the scavenging abilities of six trans-RSV analogues against various reactive oxygen species and methyl radical (hydroxyl radical, superoxide, alkoxyl radical, peroxyl radical, methyl radical, and singlet oxygen). RSV analogues are in general more potent scavenger than the parent RSV. Furthermore, piceatannol (PIC) having two OH groups in the ortho position of resveratrol was found to show 11 times higher scavenging ability against peroxyl radical than parent resveratrol. With the aid of previous theoretical studies, the enhanced antioxidant ability was interpreted based on the effects of substituent that modifies the original resveratrol structure and function.  相似文献

Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in various plants, including grapes, plums and peanuts has shown various medIRInal properties, including antioxidant, protection of cardiovascular disease and cancer risk. However, the effects of resveratrol on spinal cord reperfusion injury have not been investigated. Hence, the present study was designed to evaluate the effect of resveratrol on nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)/p38MAPK signaling pathway and to elucidate its regulating effect on the protection of spinal cord injury. Spinal cord ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) was performed by the infrarenal abdominal aorta with mini aneurysm clip model. The expressions of iNOS and p38MAPK and the levels of biochemical parameters, including nitrite/nitrate, malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation products (AOPP), reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measured in control and experimental groups. IRI-induced rats treated with 10 mg/kg resveratrol protected spinal cord from ischemia injury as supported by improved biological parameters measured in spinal cord tissue homogenates. The resveratrol treatment significantly decreased the levels of plasma nitrite/nitrate, iNOS mRNA and protein expressions and phosphorylation of p38MAPK in IRI-induced rats. Further, IRI-produced free radicals were reduced by resveratrol treatment by increasing enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant levels such as GSH, SOD and CAT. Taken together, administration of resveratrol protects the damage caused by spinal cord ischemia with potential mechanism of suppressing the activation of iNOS/p38MAPK pathway and subsequent reduction of oxidative stress due to IRI.  相似文献

Riboflavin (RF) upon irradiation with fluorescent light generates reactive oxygen species like superoxide anion, singlet and triplet oxygen, flavin radicals and substantial amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). H2O2 can freely penetrate cell membrane and react with a transition metal ion like Cu(ll), generating hydroxyl radical via the modified metal-catalyzed Haber-Weiss reaction. Earlier, it was reported that trypsin-chymotrypsin mixture served as an indirect antioxidant and decreased free radical generation. Thus, in the present study, we used photoilluminated RF as a source of ROS to investigate the effect of free radicals on the activity of trypsin. We also compared the damaging effect of photoilluminated RF and RF-Cu(ll) system using trypsin as a target molecule. RF caused fragmentation of trypsin and the effect was further enhanced, when Cu(II) was added to the reaction. Results obtained with various ROS scavengers suggested that superoxide radical, singlet and triplet oxygen were predominantly responsible for trypsin damage caused by photoilluminated RF. On the other hand, when Cu(ll) was added to the reaction, hydroxyl radical was mainly responsible for trypsin damage. A mechanism of generation of various ROS in the reaction is also proposed. Trypsin did not show any antioxidant effect with RF alone or with RF-Cu(II) combination.  相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced upon collagen stimulation are implicated in propagating various platelet-activating pathways. Among ROS-producing enzymes, NADPH oxidase (NOX) is largely responsible for collagen receptor-dependent ROS production. Therefore, NOX has been proposed as a novel target for the development of antiplatelet agent. We here investigate whether resveratrol inhibits collagen-induced NOX activation and further examine the effects of resveratrol on ROS-dependent signaling pathways in collagen-stimulated platelets. Collagen-induced superoxide anion production in platelets was inhibited by resveratrol. Resveratrol suppressed collagen-induced phosphorylation of p47phox, a major regulatory subunit of NOX. Correlated with the inhibitory effects on NOX, resveratrol protected SH2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP-2) from ROS-mediated inactivation and subsequently attenuated the specific tyrosine phosphorylation of key components (spleen tyrosine kinase, Vav1, Bruton’s tyrosine kinase, and phospholipase Cγ2) for collagen receptor signaling cascades. Resveratrol also inhibited downstream responses such as cytosolic calcium elevation, P-selectin surface exposure, and integrin-αIIbβ3 activation. Furthermore, resveratrol inhibited platelet aggregation and adhesion in response to collagen. The antiplatelet effects of resveratrol through the inhibition of NOX-derived ROS production and subsequent oxidative inactivation of SHP-2 suggest that resveratrol is a potential compound for prevention and treatment of thrombovascular diseases.  相似文献

It has been found that superoxide radicals formed at autooxidation of Fe(II) ions or of their complexes with EDTA in the presence of NAD.H cause reduction of met-Hb into deoxy or oxy-form. Under the effect of hydroxyl radicals generated in the ultrasonic field in the presence of NADH reduction of met-Hb into the ferro-form (carboxy-Hb) was observed in Co atmosphere and not in O2 atmosphere. It was induced by a high oxidation rate of oxy-Hb by hydroxyl radicals into met-Hb as compared to carboxy-Hb. Reduction of met-Hb was shown to be accompanied with the formation of NAD+. The role of NAD. radicals in the reduction of met-Hb which acts as an antioxidant in respect to organic free radicals was discussed.  相似文献

Resveratrol has been shown to have chemopreventive, cardioprotective, and antiaging properties. Here, we report that resveratrol is a potent inhibitor of quinone reductase 2 (QR2) activity in vitro with a dissociation constant of 35 nM and show that it specifically binds to the deep active-site cleft of QR2 using high-resolution structural analysis. All three resveratrol hydroxyl groups form hydrogen bonds with amino acids from QR2, anchoring a flat resveratrol molecule in parallel with the isoalloxazine ring of FAD. The unique active-site pocket in QR2 could potentially bind other natural polyphenols such as flavonoids, as proven by the high affinity exhibited by quercetin toward QR2. K562 cells with QR2 expression suppressed by RNAi showed similar properties as resveratrol-treated cells in their resistance to quinone toxicity. Furthermore, the QR2 knockdown K562 cells exhibit increased antioxidant and detoxification enzyme expression and reduced proliferation rates. These observations could imply that the chemopreventive and cardioprotective properties of resveratrol are possibly the results of QR2 activity inhibition, which in turn, up-regulates the expression of cellular antioxidant enzymes and cellular resistance to oxidative stress.  相似文献

Abstract

Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a naturally occurring polyphenol widely distributed in food and dietary plants. This phytochemical has been intensively studied as an efficient antioxidant and anticancer agent, and a variety of substituted stilbenes have been developed in order to improve the potency of resveratrol. In this work, we described the synthesis of 3,4,4 -trihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,4,4′-THS), an analogue of resveratrol, and studied its antioxidant and cytotoxic activity in vitro. 3,4,4 -THS was much more efficient than resveratrol in protecting against free radical-induced lipid peroxidation, photo-sensitized DNA oxidative damage, and free radical-induced hemolysis of human red blood cells. More potent growth inhibition in cultured human leukemia cells (HL-60) was also observed for 3,4,4 -THS. The relationship between the antioxidant efficiency and cytotoxic activity was discussed, with the emphasis on inhibition of the free radical enzyme ribonucleotide reductase by antioxidants. The result that this subtle structure modification of resveratrol drastically improves its bioactivity provides important strategy to develop novel resveratrol-based molecules.  相似文献

Reactive oxygen species, such as hydroxyl or superoxide radicals, can be generated by exogenous agents as well as from normal cellular metabolism. Those radicals are known to induce various lesions in DNA, including strand breaks and base modifications. These lesions have been implicated in a variety of diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, arthritis, neurodegenerative disorders and others. To assess these oxidative DNA damages and to evaluate the effects of the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to image DNA molecules exposed to hydroxyl radicals generated via Fenton chemistry. AFM images showed that the circular DNA molecules became linear after incubation with hydroxyl radicals, indicating the development of double-strand breaks. The occurrence of the double-strand breaks was found to depend on the concentration of the hydroxyl radicals and the duration of the reaction. Under the conditions of the experiments, NAC was found to exacerbate the free radical-induced DNA damage.  相似文献

The formation of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) during redox cycling of newly synthesized potential antitumor 2,5-bis (1-aziridinyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (BABQ) derivatives has been studied by assaying the production of ROI (superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide) by xanthine oxidase in the presence of BABQ derivatives. At low concentrations (< 10 microM) some BABQ derivatives turned out to inhibit the production of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by xanthine oxidase, while the effect on the xanthine-oxidase-induced production of hydrogen peroxide was much less pronounced. Induction of DNA strand breaks by reactive oxygen species generated by xanthine oxidase was also inhibited by BABQ derivatives. The DNA damage was comparable to the amount of hydroxyl radicals produced. The inhibiting effect on hydroxyl radical production can be explained as a consequence of the lowered level of superoxide, which disrupts the Haber-Weiss reaction sequence. The inhibitory effect of BABQ derivatives on superoxide formation correlated with their one-electron reduction potentials: BABQ derivatives with a high reduction potential scavenge superoxide anion radicals produced by xanthine oxidase, leading to reduced BABQ species and production of hydrogen peroxide from reoxidation of reduced BABQ. This study, using a unique series of BABQ derivatives with an extended range of reduction potentials, demonstrates that the formation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by bioreductively activated antitumor quinones can in principle be uncoupled from alkylating activity.  相似文献
