AbstractSilibinin, as the major active constituent of silymarin, has its various biological effects. Here, we investigated the inhibitory effects of silibinin on HeLa cell growth in relation to autophagy and apoptosis induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) generation. Silibinin dose and time-dependently decreased cell growth cultured in medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum or in serum free media (SFM) with an IC50 of approximately 80–100 and 40–60 μM at 24 h, respectively. Silibinin induced autophagy at 12 h, confirmed by monodansylcadervarine (MDC) staining and up-regulation of beclin-1, and induced apoptosis at 24 h, detected by observation of apoptotic bodies and activation of caspase-3. 3-methyladenine (3-MA) inhibited silibinin-induced autophagy and attenuated the silibinin's inhibitory effect on cell viability, suggesting that autophagy enhanced silibinin-induced cell death. Silibinin increased ROS levels at 12 h, and ROS scavenger, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), significantly reversed the cytotoxicity of silibinin through inhibiting both autophagy and apoptosis. Specific antioxidants were applied and results indicated that hydroxyl radical (·OH) was the major ROS induced by silibinin, and OH scavenger glutathione (GSH) inhibited apoptosis and autophagy. Silibinin also generated RNS production in the cells at 12 h. High concentration of N omega-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) as nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor attenuated the cytotoxicity of silibinin by decreasing ROS levels, leading to down-regulation of apoptosis. Silibinin also could interrupt the respiring functions of mitochondria, leading to ROS production and oxidative damage. 相似文献

Exposure of cells to complex mixtures of oxidized lipids such as those found in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) induce reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) formation. The source of the ROS/RNS within cells is unknown; it is thought they may be involved in redox cell signaling. Although this possibility was initially overlooked, it is becoming clear that mitochondria, which are a source of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, may play a critical role in the response of cells on exposure to oxidized lipids. In this study, we tested the possibility that mitochondria are a potential source of oxLDL-dependent formation of ROS/RNS in endothelial cells. Using confocal microscopy, we demonstrated that a significant proportion of oxLDL-dependent dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence is colocalized to mitochondria. In support of this concept, rho0 endothelial cells showed a substantial decrease in ROS/RNS formation stimulated by oxLDL. In contrast, mostly nonmitochondrial DCF fluorescence was detected in cells exposed to an extracellular source of hydrogen peroxide. The exposure of cells to a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor and urate resulted in a decrease in oxLDL-induced DCF fluorescence that was restored by addition of nitric oxide donors to the medium. Taken together, these results suggest that oxLDL-dependent DCF fluorescence is mitochondrially associated and may be due to the formation of peroxynitrite. 相似文献

Sulforaphane-induced cell death in human prostate cancer cells is initiated by reactive oxygen species 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
Singh SV Srivastava SK Choi S Lew KL Antosiewicz J Xiao D Zeng Y Watkins SC Johnson CS Trump DL Lee YJ Xiao H Herman-Antosiewicz A 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2005,280(20):19911-19924
We have shown previously that sulforaphane (SFN), a constituent of many edible cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, suppresses growth of prostate cancer cells in culture as well as in vivo by causing apoptosis, but the sequence of events leading to cell death is poorly defined. Using PC-3 and DU145 human prostate cancer cells as a model, we now demonstrate, for the first time, that the initial signal for SFN-induced apoptosis is derived from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Exposure of PC-3 cells to growth-suppressive concentrations of SFN resulted in ROS generation, which was accompanied by disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential, cytosolic release of cytochrome c, and apoptosis. All these effects were significantly blocked on pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine and overexpression of catalase. The SFN-induced ROS generation was significantly attenuated on pretreatment with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I inhibitors, including diphenyleneiodonium chloride and rotenone. SFN treatment also caused a rapid and significant depletion of GSH levels. Collectively, these observations indicate that SFN-induced ROS generation is probably mediated by a nonmitochondrial mechanism involving GSH depletion as well as a mitochondrial component. Ectopic expression of Bcl-xL, but not Bcl-2, in PC-3 cells offered significant protection against the cell death caused by SFN. In addition, SFN treatment resulted in an increase in the level of Fas, activation of caspase-8, and cleavage of Bid. Furthermore, SV40-immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from Bid knock-out mice displayed significant resistance toward SFN-induced apoptosis compared with wild-type MEFs. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that SFN-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cells is initiated by ROS generation and that both intrinsic and extrinsic caspase cascades contribute to the cell death caused by this highly promising cancer chemopreventive agent. 相似文献

JNK signaling pathway is a key modulator in cell death mediated by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), or stress-activated protein kinase, is an important member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase superfamily, the members of which are readily activated by many environmental stimuli. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are important groups of free radicals that are capable of eliciting direct damaging effects or acting as critical intermediate signaling molecules, leading to oxidative and nitrosative stress and a series of biological consequences. Recently there has been an increasing amount of research interest focusing on the regulatory role of JNK activation in ROS-and RNS-induced cellular responses. In this review we will first summarize and discuss some recent findings regarding the signaling mechanisms of ROS-or RNS-mediated JNK activation. Second, we will talk about the role of JNK in ROS-or RNS-mediated cell death (both apoptosis and necrosis). Finally, we will analyze the emerging evidence for the involvement of ROS and RNS as mediators in tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced apoptosis. Taken together, the accumulating knowledge about the ROS/RNS-induced JNK signaling pathway has greatly advanced our understanding of the complex processes deciding the cellular responses to environmental stress. 相似文献

The cell cycle related apoptotic susceptibility to arsenic trioxide is associated with the level of reactive oxygen species 总被引:17,自引:1,他引:17
Double staining flow cytometry was performed using 7-amino actinomycin D and 6-carboxy-2‘,7‘-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, to detect the level fluctuation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the cell cycle of normal NB4 cells. Our results showed that NB4 cells possessed higher level of ROS in G2/M phase than in G1 and S phases. Double staining flow cytometry, with TdT mediated dUTP nick end labeling (Tunel) and propidium iodide(PI), indicated that As2O3 (2μM) could induce apoptosis in NB4 cells prevailingly from G2/M phase, and this efficacy was enhanced upon co-administration of 2, 3-dimethoxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone (DMNQ) (2.5μM) which could produce the endogenous ROS. These results suggested that different ROS level in different cell cycle phases of NB4 cells might determin the selective induction of G2/M apoptosis and the cells‘ susceptibility to apoptosis by As2O3. 相似文献

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling cascades are multi-functional signaling networks that influence cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and cellular responses to stress. Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is a MAP kinase kinase kinase that triggers apoptogenic kinase cascade leading to the phosphorylation/activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38-MAP kinase, which are responsible for inducing apoptotic cell death. This pathway plays a pivotal role in transduction of signals from different apoptotic stimuli. In the present review, we summarized the recent evidence concerning MAP kinase-dependent apoptotic pathway and its regulation in the mammalian cells and organism in vivo. We have shown that the key messengers of regulation of this pathway are the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The role of protein oxidation and S-nitrosation in induction of apoptotic cell death via ASK1 is discussed. Also we have outlined other recently discovered signal transduction processes involved in the regulation of ASK1 activity and downstream pathway. 相似文献

Free radicals and reactive oxygen or nitrogen species generated during oxidative stress and as by-products of normal cellular metabolism may damage all types of biological molecules. Proteins are major initial targets in cell. Reactions of a variety of free radicals and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species with proteins can lead to oxidative modifications of proteins such as protein hydroperoxides formation, hydroxylation of aromatic groups and aliphatic amino acid side chains, nitration of aromatic amino acid residues, oxidation of sulfhydryl groups, oxidation of methionine residues, conversion of some amino acid residues into carbonyl groups, cleavage of the polypeptide chain and formation of cross-linking bonds. Such modifications of proteins leading to loss of their function (enzymatic activity), accumulation and inhibition of their degradation have been observed in several human diseases, aging, cell differentiation and apoptosis. Formation of specific protein oxidation products may be used as biomarkers of oxidative stress. 相似文献

Apoptosis plays an important role in modulating the pathogenesis of a variety of infectious diseases. Chlamydial infection protects cells against different forms of apoptosis: extrinsic, intrinsic, and granzyme B mediated. Redox reactions are central to the life and death decision of cells and pathogens and an intimate relationship exists between oxidative stress and iron metabolism. The link between redox status and ferritin was largely unexplored in chlamydia-infected cells. In the present study, we showed that Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection induced FHC protein in HeLa cells. FHC induction by CT-infected cells stably expressing FHC blunted ROS production compared with mock infected cells, and the infected cells were relatively resistant to apoptosis induced by H?O?. We also demonstrated that endogenous FHC overexpression correlates well with the stabilization of the mitochondrial membrane potential in CT-infected cells. Increased expression of FHC is independent of iron supplementation (FAC) and depletion (DFO) in CT-infected cells. These data suggest that FHC up-regulation is an acute response of HeLa cells against CT infection and that FHC exerts anti-apoptotic activity against oxidative stress. 相似文献

Mitochondria can be a source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a target of oxidative damage during oxidative stress. In this connection, the effect of photodynamic treatment (PDT) with Mitotracker Red (MR) as a mitochondria-targeted photosensitizer has been studied in HeLa cells. It is shown that MR produces both singlet oxygen and superoxide anion upon photoactivation and causes photoinactivation of gramicidin channels in a model system (planar lipid bilayer). Mitochondria-targeted antioxidant (MitoQ) inhibits this effect. In living cells, MR-mediated PDT initiates a delayed ("dark") accumulation of ROS, which is accelerated by inhibitors of the respiratory chain (piericidin, rotenone and myxothiazol) and inhibited by MitoQ and diphenyleneiodonium (an inhibitor of flavin enzymes), indicating that flavin of Complex I is involved in the ROS production. PDT causes necrosis that is prevented by MitoQ. Treatment of the cell with hydrogen peroxide causes accumulation of ROS, and the effects of inhibitors and MitoQ are similar to that described for the PDT model. Apoptosis caused by H2O2 is augmented by the inhibitors of respiration and suppressed by MitoQ. It is concluded that the initial segments of the respiratory chain can be an important source of ROS, which are targeted to mitochondria, determining the fate of the cell subjected to oxidative stress. 相似文献

The synthetic immunomodulator muramyl dipeptide (MDP) has been shown to induce, in vivo, mitochondrial proton leak. In the present work, we extended these findings to the cellular level and confirmed the effects of MDP in vitro on murine macrophages. The macrophage system was then used to analyse the mechanism of the MDP-induced mitochondrial proton leak. Our results demonstrate that the cellular levels of superoxide anion and nitric oxide were significantly elevated in response to MDP. Moreover, isolated mitochondria from cells treated with MDP presented a significant decrease in respiratory control ratio, an effect that was absent following treatment with a non-toxic analogue such as murabutide. Stimulation of cells with MDP, but not with murabutide, rapidly upregulates the expression of the mitochondrial protein uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), and pretreatment with vitamin E attenuates upregulation of UCP2. These findings suggest that the MDP-induced reactive species upregulate UCP2 expression in order to counteract the effects of MDP on mitochondrial respiratory efficiency. 相似文献

Popular chelators (desferrioxamine, SIH, EDTA, EGTA, DTPA, and NTA) were demonstrated to have antioxidant properties, being able to reduce ABTS radical cation and react with peroxyl radicals, peroxynitrite, and hypochlorite. Desferrioxamine and SIH were most potent antioxidants in all cases. These results point to the necessity of a careful interpretation of experiments in which the inhibition of free radical reactions by antioxidants is used as a proof of involvement of metal ions in a reaction. 相似文献

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), an endogenously produced indole found throughout the animal kingdom, was recently reported, using a variety of techniques, to be a scavenger of a number of reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species both in vitro and in vivo. Initially, melatonin was discovered to directly scavenge the high toxic hydroxyl radical (*OH). The methods used to prove the interaction of melatonin with the *OH included the generation of the radical using Fenton reagents or the ultraviolet photolysis of hydrogen peroxide (H202) with the use of spin-trapping agents, followed by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, pulse radiolysis followed by ESR, and several spectrofluorometric and chemical (salicylate trapping in vivo) methodologies. One product of the reaction of melatonin with the *OH was identified as cyclic 3-hydroxymelatonin (3-OHM) using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical (HPLC-EC) detection, electron ionization mass spectrometry (EIMS), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and COSY 1H NMR. Cyclic 3-OHM appears in the urine of humans and other mammals and in rat urine its concentration increases when melatonin is given exogenously or after an imposed oxidative stress (exposure to ionizing radiation). Urinary cyclic 3-OHM levels are believed to be a biomarker (footprint molecule) of in vivo *OH production and its scavenging by melatonin. Although the data are less complete, besides the *OH, melatonin in cell-free systems has been shown to directly scavenge H2O2, singlet oxygen (1O2) and nitric oxide (NO*), with little or no ability to scavenge the superoxide anion radical (O2*-) In vitro, melatonin also directly detoxifies the peroxynitrite anion (ONOO-) and/or peroxynitrous acid (ONOOH), or the activated form of this molecule, ONOOH*; the product of the latter interaction is proposed to be 6-OHM. How these in vitro findings relate to the in vivo antioxidant actions of melatonin remains to be established. The ability of melatonin to scavenge the lipid peroxyl radical (LOO*) is debated. The weight of the evidence is that melatonin is probably not a classic chain-breaking antioxidant, since its ability to scavenge the LOO* seems weak. Its ability to reduce lipid peroxidation may stem from its function as a preventive antioxidant (scavenging initiating radicals), or yet unidentified actions. In sum, in vitro melatonin acts as a direct free radical scavenger with the ability to detoxify both reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species; in vivo, it is an effective pharmacological agent in reducing oxidative damage under conditions in which excessive free radical generation is believed to be involved. 相似文献

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in cell death signaling 总被引:49,自引:0,他引:49
During apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane permeability (MMP) increases and the release into the cytosol of pro-apoptotic factors (procaspases, caspase activators and caspase-independent factors such as apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF)) leads to the apoptotic phenotype. Apart from this pivotal role of mitochondria during the execution phase of apoptosis (documented in other reviews of this issue), it appears that reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the mitochondria can be involved in cell death. These toxic compounds are normally detoxified by the cells, failing which oxidative stress occurs. However, ROS are not only dangerous molecules for the cell, but they also display a physiological role, as mediators in signal transduction pathways. ROS participate in early and late steps of the regulation of apoptosis, according to different possible molecular mechanisms. In agreement with this role of ROS in apoptosis signaling, inhibition of apoptosis by anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) is associated with a protection against ROS and/or a shift of the cellular redox potential to a more reduced state. Furthermore, the fact that active forms of cell death in yeast and plants also involve ROS suggests the existence of an ancestral redox-sensitive death signaling pathway that has been independent of caspases and Bcl-2. 相似文献

A number of studies have indicated that exercise is associated with an increased oxidative stress in skeletal muscle tissue, but the nature of the increased oxidants and sites of their generation have not been clarified. The generation of extracellular reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been studied in myotubes derived from an immortalized muscle cell line (H-2k(b) cells) that were stimulated to contract by electrical stimulation in culture. Cells were stimulated to contract with differing frequencies of electrical stimulation. Both induced release of superoxide anion and nitric oxide into the extracellular medium and caused an increase in extracellular hydroxyl radical activity. Increasing frequency of stimulation increased the nitric oxide generation and hydroxyl radical activity, but had no significant effect on the superoxide released. Additions of inhibitors of putative generating pathways indicated that contraction-induced NO release was primarily from neuronal NO synthase enzymes and that the superoxide released is likely to be generated by a plasma membrane-located, flavoprotein oxidoreductase system. The data also indicate that peroxynitrite is generated in the extracellular fluid of muscle during contractile activity. 相似文献

Peroxynitrite (PN; ONOO−) and its reactive oxygen precursor superoxide (SO; O2•−) are critically important in the development of pain of several etiologies including pain associated with chronic use of opiates such as morphine (also known as opiate-induced hyperalgesia and antinociceptive tolerance). This is now an emerging field in which considerable progress has been made in terms of understanding the relative contributions of SO, PN, and nitroxidative stress in pain signaling at the molecular and biochemical levels. Aggressive research in this area is poised to provide the pharmacological basis for development of novel nonnarcotic analgesics that are based upon the unique ability to selectively eliminate SO and/or PN. As we have a better understanding of the roles of SO and PN in pathophysiological settings, targeting PN may be a better therapeutic strategy than targeting SO. This is because, unlike PN, which has no currently known beneficial role, SO may play a significant role in learning and memory [1]. Thus, the best approach may be to spare SO while directly targeting its downstream product, PN. Over the past 15 years, our team has spearheaded research concerning the roles of SO and PN in pain and these results are currently leading to the development of solid therapeutic strategies in this important area. 相似文献

Death receptors, including the TNF receptor-1 (TNF-RI), have been shown to be able to initiate caspase-independent cell death. This form of "necrotic cell death" appears to be dependent on the generation of reactive oxygen species. Recent data have indicated that superoxide generation is dependent on the activation of NADPH oxidases, which form a complex with the adaptor molecules RIP1 and TRADD. The mechanism of superoxide generation further establishes RIP1 as the central molecule in ROS production and cell death initiated by TNFa and other death receptors. A role for the sustained JNK activation in necrotic cell death is also suggested. The sensitization of virus-infected cells to TNFα indicates that necrotic cell death may represent an alternative cell death pathway for clearance of infected cells. 相似文献

Ras GTPases cycle between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound states to modulate a diverse array of processes involved in cellular growth control. We have previously shown that both NO/O(2) (via nitrogen dioxide, (*)NO(2)) and superoxide radical anion (O(2)(*)(-)) promote Ras guanine nucleotide dissociation. We now show that hydrogen peroxide in the presence of transition metals (i.e., H(2)O(2)/transition metals) and peroxynitrite also trigger radical-based Ras guanine nucleotide dissociation. The primary redox-active reaction species derived from H(2)O(2)/transition metals and peroxynitrite is O(2)(*)(-) and (*)NO(2), respectively. A small fraction of hydroxyl radical (OH(*)) is also present in both. We also show that both carbonate radical (CO(3)(*)(-)) and (*)NO(2), derived from the mixture of peroxynitrite and bicarbonate, facilitate Ras guanine nucleotide dissociation. We further demonstrate that NO/O(2) and O(2)(*)(-) promote Ras GDP exchange with GTP in the presence of a radical-quenching agent, ascorbate, or NO, and generation of Ras-GTP promotes high-affinity binding of the Ras-binding domain of Raf-1, a downstream effector of Ras. S-Nitrosylated Ras (Ras-SNO) can be formed when NO serves as a radical-quenching agent, and hydroxyl radical but not (*)NO(2) or O(2)(*)(-) can further react with Ras-SNO to modulate Ras activity in vitro. However, given the lack of redox specificity associated with the high redox potential of OH(*), it is unclear whether this reaction occurs under physiological conditions. 相似文献

Endothelial dysfunction in the setting of cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and chronic smoking, as well as in the setting of heart failure, has been shown to be at least partly dependent on the production of reactive oxygen species in endothelial and/or smooth muscle cells and the adventitia, and the subsequent decrease in vascular bioavailability of NO. Superoxide-producing enzymes involved in increased oxidative stress within vascular tissue include NAD(P)H-oxidase, xanthine oxidase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in an uncoupled state. Recent studies indicate that endothelial dysfunction of peripheral and coronary resistance and conductance vessels represents a strong and independent risk factor for future cardiovascular events. Ways to reduce endothelial dysfunction include risk-factor modification and treatment with substances that have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and, simultaneously, to stimulate endothelial NO production, such as inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme or the statins. In contrast, in conditions where increased production of reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide, in vascular tissue is established, treatment with NO, e.g. via administration of nitroglycerin, results in a rapid development of endothelial dysfunction, which may worsen the prognosis in patients with established coronary artery disease. 相似文献

The barley aleurone layer is a terminally differentiated secretory tissue whose activity is hormonally controlled. The plant hormone gibberellic acid (GA) stimulates the secretion of hydrolytic enzymes and triggers the onset of programmed cell death (PCD). Abscisic acid (ABA) antagonizes the effects of GA and inhibits enzyme secretion and PCD. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key players in many types of PCD, and data presented here implicate ROS in hormonally regulated death of barley aleurone cells. Incubation of aleurone layers or protoplasts in H(2)O(2)-containing media results in death of GA-treated but not ABA-treated aleurone cells. Cells that are programmed to die are therefore less able to withstand ROS than cells that are programmed to remain alive. Illumination of barley aleurone protoplasts with blue or UV-A light results in a rapid increase in intracellular H(2)O(2) production. GA-treated protoplasts die rapidly in response to this increase in intracellular H(2)O(2) production, but ABA-treated protoplasts do not die. The rate of light-induced death could be slowed by antioxidants, and incubating protoplasts in the dark with the antioxidant butylated hydroxy toluene reduces the rate of hormonally induced death. Taken together, these data demonstrate that GA-treated aleurone protoplasts are less able than ABA-treated protoplasts to tolerate internally generated or exogenously applied H(2)O(2), and strongly suggest that ROS are components of the hormonally regulated cell death pathway in barley aleurone cells. 相似文献
