It has been suggested that oxidative stress plays an important role in the chronic complications of diabetes. The experimental findings regarding the changes in tissue antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxidation of diabetic tissues have been inconsistent. Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated that the reducing power of a specific tissue correlates with its low molecular weight antioxidant (LMWA) capacity. In the present study, the overall LMWA capacity (reducing equivalents) of plasma and tissues of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats (1-4 weeks) and insulin treated diabetic rats were measured by cyclic voltammetry. Levels of water and lipid soluble LMWA capacity progressively decreased in the diabetic plasma, kidney, heart and brain, while the diabetic liver, at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after STZ injection, showed a significant increase in the overall lipid soluble LMWA capacity (p < 0.001). Subsequently, analysis of specific components by high pressure liquid chromatography (electrochemical detection) showed decreased levels of ascorbic acid in plasma, kidney, heart and brain of diabetic animals. The alpha-tocopherol level dropped in all tissues, except for the liver in which there was a significant increase (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001 at 2-4 weeks). Lipid peroxidation was assessed by conjugated diene levels, which increased significantly in all diabetic tissues except the liver. Insulin treatment that was started after 3 weeks of diabetes and continued for 3 weeks showed no change in the conjugated dienes and in the overall LMWA capacity in all organs. Our results suggest a unique behavior of the liver in the STZ-induced diabetic rats to the stress and indicate its higher capacity to cope with oxidative stress as compared to other organs.  相似文献

Objective: To examine the effect of galangin on hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Methods: Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal administration of low-dose STZ (40?mg/kg body weight (BW)) into male albino Wistar rats. Galangin (8?mg/kg BW) or glibenclamide (600?µg/kg BW) was given orally, once daily for 45 days to normal and STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Results: Diabetic rats showed significantly increased levels of plasma glucose, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, lipid hydroperoxides, and conjugated dienes. The levels of insulin and non-enzymatic antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, reduced glutathione) and the activity of enzymatic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione-S-transferase (GST)) were decreased significantly in diabetic control rats. These altered plasma glucose, insulin, lipid peroxidation products, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants ions were reverted to near-normal level after the administration of galangin and glibenclamide.

Conclusion: The present study shows that galangin decreased oxidative stress and increased antioxidant status in diabetic rats, which may be due to its antidiabetic and antioxidant potential.  相似文献

Diabetes mellitus is the most common serious metabolic disorder and it is considered to be one of the five leading causes of death in the world. Hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative stress plays a crucial role in diabetic complications. Hence, this study was undertaken to evaluate the protective effect of esculetin on the plasma glucose, insulin levels, tissue antioxidant defense system and lipid peroxidative status in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetic rats exhibited increased blood glucose with significant decrease in plasma insulin levels. Extent of oxidative stress was assessed by the elevation in the levels of lipid peroxidation markers such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), lipid hydroperoxides (HP) and conjugated dienes (CD); reduction in the enzymic antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST); nonenzymic antioxidants Vitamin C, E and reduced glutathione (GSH) were observed in the liver and kidney tissues of diabetic control rats as compared to control rats. Oral supplementation of esculetin to diabetic rats for 45 days significantly brought back lipid peroxidation markers, enzymic and nonenzymic antioxidants to near normalcy. Moreover, the histological observations evidenced that esculetin effectively rescues the hepatocytes and kidney from hyperglycemia mediated oxidative damage without affecting its cellular function and structural integrity. These findings suggest that esculetin (40 mg/kg BW) treatment exerts a protective effect in diabetes by attenuating hyperglycemia-mediated oxidative stress and antioxidant competence in hepatic and renal tissues. Further, detailed studies are in progress to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which esculetin elicits its modulatory effects in insulin signaling pathway.  相似文献

It is known that an accumulation of lipoperoxidative aldehydes malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) takes place in liver mitochondria during aging. The existence and role of an increased extra- and intra-cellular oxidative stress in diabetes, an aging-accelerating disease, is currently under discussion. This report offers evidence that lipoperoxidative aldehydes accumulate in liver microsomes and mitochondria at a higher rate in spontaneously diabetic BB/WOR rats than in control non-diabetic animals (HNE content, diabetes vs. control: microsomes 80.6+/-19.9 vs. 25.75+/-3.6 pmol/mg prot, p = .024; mitochondria 77.4+/-15.4 vs. 26.5+/-3.5 pmol/mg prot, p = .0103). Liver subcellular fractions from diabetic rats, when exposed to the peroxidative stimulus ADP/Fe, developed more lipoperoxidative aldehydes than those from non diabetic rats (HNE amount, diabetes vs. control: microsomes 3.60+/-0.37 vs. 2.33+/-0.22 nmol/mg prot, p = .014; mitochondria 3.62+/-0.26 vs. 2.30+/-0.17 nmol/mg prot, p = .0009). Liver subcellular fractions of diabetic rats developed more fluorescent chromolipids related to HNE-phospholipid adducts, either after in vitro peroxidation (microsomes: p = .0045; mitochondria: p = .0023) or by exposure to exogenous HNE (microsomes: p = .049; mitochondria: p = .0338). This higher susceptibility of diabetic liver membranes to the non-enzymatic attack of HNE may be due to an altered phospholipid composition. Moreover, a decreased activity of the HNE-metabolizing systems can be involved: diabetic liver mitochondria and microsomes were unable to consume exogenous HNE at the same rate as non-diabetic membranes; the difference was already significant after 5' incubation (microsomes p<.001; mitochondria p<.001). These data show an increased oxidative stress inside the hepatocytes of diabetic rats; the impairment of the HNE-metabolizing systems can play a key role in the maintenance and propagation of the damage.  相似文献

Abstract

Objective

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effect of kaempferol against oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Methods

Diabetes was induced in male, adult albino rats of the Wistar strain, by intraperitoneal administration of STZ (40 mg/kg body weight (BW)). Kaempferol (100 mg/kg BW) or glibenclamide (600 µg/kg BW) was administered orally once daily for 45 days to normal and STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Results

The STZ-induced diabetic rats showed significantly increased levels of plasma glucose, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, lipid hydroperoxides, and conjugated dienes in plasma, liver, kidney, and heart whereas they showed significantly decreased level of plasma insulin. The levels of non-enzymic antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, reduced glutathione) in plasma, liver, kidney, and heart and the activities of enzymatic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione-S-transferase) in liver, kidney, and heart were significantly decreased in diabetic rats. Administration of kaempferol to diabetic rats was showed brought back in plasma glucose, insulin, lipid peroxidation products, enzymatic, and non-enzymatic antioxidants to near normal.

Conclusion

The present study indicates that kaempferol has a good antioxidant property, as evidenced by its increase of antioxidant status and decrease of lipid peroxidation markers, thus providing protection from the risks of diabetic complications.  相似文献

Paraoxonase (PON1) is a serum enzyme with an antioxidant function, protecting the low density lipoproteins (LDL) from oxidative modifications. Because diabetic patients are at greater risk of oxidative stress, we investigated the effect of PON1 55 methione (M)/leucine (L) and PON1 192 glutamine (A)/arginine (B) polymorphisms on oxidant-antioxidant system in 213 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 116 non-diabetic control subjects from Turkish population were included in the study. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and agarose gel electrophoresis techniques were used to determine the PON1 genotypes. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated dienes levels in the serum and glutathione (GSH) levels in whole blood were measured spectrophotometrically. In both groups PON1 192 AA and PON1 55 MM genotypes had higher TBARS, conjugated dienes levels and lower GSH levels, whereas PON1 192 BB and PON1 55 LL genotypes had lower TBARS, conjugated diene levels and higher GSH level than other genotypes. We thus conclude that PON1 192 BB and PON1 55 LL alleles have protective effect against oxidative stress.  相似文献

Oxidative stress reduces adenylate cyclase activity and also the maximal response to beta-adrenoceptor stimulation in the rat heart, while beta-adrenoceptor density is not affected or increased. Since free sulfhydryl groups are essential to beta-adrenoceptor function and the sulfhydryl reactive substance 4-hydroxy-2,3-trans-nonenal (HNE) is responsible for part of the effects of oxidative stress, the effect of HNE on beta-adrenoceptor function in field stimulated left atria of the rat was determined. To this end field stimulated atria were incubated with 10 microM, 100 microM and 1 mM HNE for 25 min. After removing the excess of HNE, beta-adrenoceptor function was determined by measuring the positive inotropic response to (-)-isoproterenol. It was found that 10 microM HNE had no effect on beta-adrenoceptor function, whereas 100 microM HNE reduced the maximal effect to (-)-isoproterenol without affecting the pD2 (-log EC50). At these concentrations, HNE had no effect on either beta-adrenoceptor density or on c-AMP production. After 1 mM HNE, the atria stopped contracting. Since the effects of the synthetic thiol inactivator N-ethyl maleimide were similar to those of HNE, it was concluded that the reduction of beta-adrenoceptor function by HNE is probably the result of alkylation of free sulfhydryl groups. Our results indicate that the reduction of adenylate cyclase activity by oxidative stress is not mediated by the production of HNE, however oxidative stress and HNE both reduce the maximal response to beta-adrenoceptor stimulation.  相似文献

The lipid peroxidation (LPO) of the lung tissue and the bronchoalveolar lavage in rats under the influence of immobilization has been investigated. The effects accompanying the development of oxidative stress in animals--an increase in the content of conjugated dienes and fluorescent LPO products in biological objects and a strong decrease in the content of vitamin E in the lung tissue were registered.  相似文献

We estimated the cerebral oxidative stress during ischemia-reperfusion of the brain in conditions of modulated L-arginine-NO system in rats. In 128 rats, the changes in lipid peroxidation products (conjugated dienes, malondialdehyde, Schiff bases) and antioxidant defense factors (retinal, a-tocopherol, SH-groups) were studied. Analysis of the inhibitor (administration of NO synthase substrate L-arginine, non-selective inhibitor Nw-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, selective inhibitor of neuronal NO synthase 7-nitroindasole, or selective inhibitor of inducible NO synthase S-methyl-isothiourea) showed the NO-dependent nature of oxidative stress in rats with brain ischemia-reperfusion. NO generated by different NO synthase isoenzymes played different roles: hyperactivation of the neuronal NO synthase was associated with oxidative stress during both brain ischemia-reperfusion periods, and the higher inducible NO synthase activity had such association only during the later period.  相似文献

Elevated cellular oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage are key contributors to impaired cardiac function in diabetes. During chronic inflammation, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced lipid peroxidation results in the formation of reactive aldehydes, foremost of which is 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE). 4HNE forms covalent adducts with proteins, negatively impacting cellular protein function. During conditions of elevated oxidative stress, oxidative DNA damage such as modification by 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8OHdG) is repaired by 8-oxoguanine glycosylase-1 (OGG-1). Based on these facts, we hypothesized that 4HNE forms adducts with OGG-1 inhibiting its activity, and thus, increases the levels of 8OHG in diabetic heart tissues. To test our hypothesis, we evaluated OGG-1 activity, 8OHG and 4HNE in the hearts of leptin receptor deficient db/db mice, a type-2 diabetic model. We also treated the recombinant OGG-1 with 4HNE to measure direct adduction. We found decreased OGG-1 activity (P > .05), increased 8OHG (P > .05) and increased 4HNE adducts (P > .05) along with low aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 activity (P > .05). The increased colocalization of OGG-1 and 4HNE in cardiomyocytes suggest 4HNE adduction on OGG-1. Furthermore, colocalization of 8OHG and OGG-1 with mitochondrial markers TOM 20 and aconitase, respectively, indicated significant levels of oxidatively-induced mtDNA damage and implicated a role for mitochondrial OGG-1 function. In vitro exposure of recombinant OGG-1 (rOGG-1) with increasing concentrations of 4HNE resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in OGG-1 activity. Mass spectral analysis of trypsin digests of 4HNE-treated rOGG-1 identified 4HNE adducts on C28, C75, C163, H179, H237, C241, K249, H270, and H282. In silico molecular modeling of 4HNE-K249 OGG-1 and 4HNE-H270 OGG-1 mechanistically supported 4HNE-mediated enzymatic inhibition of OGG-1. In conclusion, these data support the hypothesis that inhibition of OGG-1 by direct modification by 4HNE contributes to decreased OGG-1 activity and increased 8OHG-modified DNA that are present in the diabetic heart.  相似文献

Growing evidence indicates oxidative stress as a mechanism of several diseases including cancer. Oxidative stress can be defined as the imbalance between cellular oxidant species production and antioxidant capability shifted towards the former. Lipid peroxidation is one of the processes that takes place during oxidative stress. Lipid peroxidation products, such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), are closely related to carcinogenesis as they are potent mutagens and they have been suggested as modulators of signal pathways related to proliferation and apoptosis, two processes implicated in cancer development. Mechanisms by which oxidative stress leads to tumor formation are still under investigation. The need of suitable in vivo models that could reflect that inflammation-related human carcinogenesis is evident. In this regard, the mutant strain Long Evans Cinnamon-like (LEC) rat provides a promising model for investigation of the relationship between hepatitis induced by oxidative stress and hepatocarcinogenesis because it has been demonstrated to develop spontaneous liver tumor formation related to copper accumulation and oxidative stress. In this review, the findings regarding oxidative stress and its relation with liver pathologies in LEC rats are discussed; we focus on the mechanisms proposed for HNE carcinogenesis.  相似文献

Immunohistochemical analysis of the distribution of the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) in the brain of baboons exposed to experimental hemorrhagic traumatic shock or sepsis showed that systemic oxidative stress and the thereby generated HNE affect the blood:brain barrier and the regulation of cerebral blood flow determining secondary brain damage. Similarly, HNE was determined during ischemia in the brain blood vessels of rats exposed to ischemia/reperfusion injury of the brain. After reperfusion, HNE disappeared from the blood vessels but remained in neurones and in glial cells. Since HNE modulates cell proliferation and differentiation (including proto-oncogene expression), it is postulated that HNE might have prominent local and systemic effects that are not only harmful but beneficial, too, determining the outcome of various pathophysiological conditions based on oxidative stress.  相似文献

The oxidative stress hypothesis of aging suggests that accumulation of oxidative damage is a key factor of the alterations in physiological function during aging. We studied age-related sensitivity to oxidative modifications of proteins and lipids of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) isolated from 6-, 15- and 26-month-old rats. Oxidative stress was generated in vitro by exposing SR vesicles to 0.1 mmol/l FeSO4/EDTA + 1 mmol/l H2O2 at 37 degrees C for 60 min. In all groups, oxidative stress was associated with decreased membrane surface hydrophobicity, as detected by 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate as a probe. Structural changes in SR membranes were accompanied by degradation of tryptophan and significant accumulation of protein dityrosines, protein conjugates with lipid peroxidation products, conjugated dienes and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. The sensitivity to oxidative damage was most pronounced in SR of 26-month-old rat. Our results indicate that aging and oxidative stress are associated with accumulation of oxidatively damaged proteins and lipids and these changes could contribute to cardiovascular injury.  相似文献

This study assesses whether the HNE accumulation we formerly observed in liver microsomes and mitochondria of BB/Wor diabetic rats depends on an increased rate of lipoperoxidation or on impairment of enzymatic removal. There are three main HNE metabolizing enzymes: glutathione-S-transferase (GST), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). In this study we show that GST and ALDH activities are reduced in liver microsomes and mitochondria of diabetic rats; in contrast, ADH activity remains unchanged. The role of each enzyme in HNE removal was evaluated by using enzymatic inhibitors. The roles of both GST and ALDH were markedly reduced in diabetic rats, while ADH-mediated consumption was significantly increased. However, the higher level of lipohydroperoxides in diabetic liver indicated more marked lipoperoxidation. We therefore think that HNE accumulation in diabetic liver may depend on both mechanisms: increased lipoperoxidation and decreased enzymatic removal. We suggest that glycoxidation and/or hyperglycemic pseudohypoxia may be involved in the enzymatic impairment observed. Moreover, since HNE exerts toxic effects on enzymes, HNE accumulation, deficiency of HNE removal, and production of reactive oxygen species can generate vicious circles able to amplify the damage.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) promotes apoptosis in atherosclerotic plaques in the vascular wall, a process mediated through its oxidized lipids. 4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE) and 4-hydroxyhexenal (HHE), derived from oxidation of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids, respectively, are among the major oxidized products in oxLDL. HYPOTHESIS: This study hypothesized that eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid (EPA/DHA)-rich versus linoleic acid-rich oxLDL obtained from postmenopausal women and HNE versus HHE differentially influence apoptosis in U937 cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Thirty healthy postmenopausal women were supplemented with 14 g/day safflower oil (SO), 7 g/day of both fish oil and SO (low dose LFO) or 14 g/day fish oil (high dose HFO) for 5 weeks. Low-density lipoprotein, obtained after supplementation, was oxidized with 5 microM CuSO(4) at 37 degrees C for 6 h. The concentration of cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides (CEOOH) and conjugated dienes was measured in the oxidized LDL (oxLDL). U937 cells were incubated with the oxLDL, 10 microM of HHE, 7 muM of HHE plus 3 microM of HNE, 5 microM of both HHE and HNE or 10 microM of HNE and the extent of apoptosis measured three ways. RESULTS: The concentration of CEOOH and conjugated dienes in oxLDL did not differ among the three treatment groups. The percent of apoptotic cells was approximately 40% lower when incubated with oxLDL obtained from the HFO-supplemented group than the SO-supplemented group measured by both the Annexin V and the DNA fragmentation assays (P = .04 and .004, respectively). Apoptosis of U937 cells was significantly lower in cells incubated with 10 microM of HHE, and mixtures of HHE and HNE than the 10 microM HNE when measured by the Annexin V, DNA fragmentation and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the cardioprotective properties of n-3 fatty acids may derive in part from their less reactive oxidized lipid metabolites.  相似文献

A destructive cycle of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction is proposed in neurodegenerative disease. Lipid peroxidation, one outcome of oxidative challenge, can lead to the formation of 4-hydroxy-2(E)-nonenal (HNE), a lipophilic alkenal that forms stable adducts on mitochondrial proteins. In this study, we characterized the effects of HNE on brain mitochondrial respiration. We used whole rat brain mitochondria and concentrations of HNE comparable to those measured in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Our results showed that HNE inhibited respiration at multiple sites. Complex I-linked and complex II-linked state 3 respirations were inhibited by HNE with IC50 values of approximately 200 microM HNE. Respiration was apparently diminished owing to the inhibition of complex III activity. In addition, complex II activity was reduced slightly. The lipophilicity and adduction characteristics of HNE were responsible for the effects of HNE on respiration. The inhibition of respiration was not prevented by N-acetylcysteine or aminoguanidine. Studies using mitochondria isolated from porcine cerebral cortex also demonstrated an inhibition of complex I- and complex II-linked respiration. Thus, in neurodegenerative disease, oxidative stress may impair mitochondrial respiration through the production of HNE.  相似文献

Carbonyl stress is one of the important mechanisms of tissue damage in vascular complications of diabetes. In the present study, we observed that the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels in serum and its gene expression in adipose tissue were up-regulated in aged OLETF rats, model animals of obese type 2 diabetes. To study the mechanism of PAI-1 up-regulation, we examined the effect of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and the product of lipid peroxidation (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE)), both of which are endogenously generated under carbonyl stress. Stimulation of primary white adipocytes by either AGE or HNE resulted in the elevation of PAI-1 in culture medium and at mRNA levels. The up-regulation of PAI-1 was also observed by incubating the cells in high glucose medium (30 mm, 48 h). The stimulatory effects by AGE or high glucose were inhibited by antioxidant, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, and reactive oxygen scavenger, probucol, suggesting a pivotal role of oxidative stress in white adipocytes. We also found that the effect by HNE was inhibited by antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine and that a specific inhibitor of glutathione biosynthesis, l-buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine, augmented the effect of subthreshold effect of HNE. Bioimaging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by a fluorescent indicator, 6-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, revealed ROS production in white adipocytes treated with AGE or HNE. These results suggest that cellular carbonyl stress induced by AGEs or HNE may stimulate PAI-1 synthesis in and release from adipose tissues through ROS formation.  相似文献

Oxidative stress has been suggested to play a main role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications. As a consequence of this increased oxidative status, a cellular-adaptive response occurs requiring functional chaperones, antioxidant production, and protein degradation. This study was designed to evaluate systemic oxidative stress and cellular stress response in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes-induced nephropathy and in age-matched healthy subjects. Systemic oxidative stress has been evaluated by measuring advanced glycation end-products (pentosidine), protein oxidation (protein carbonyls [DNPH]), and lipid oxidation (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal [HNE] and F2-isoprostanes) in plasma, lymphocytes, and urine, whereas the lymphocyte levels of the heat shock proteins (Hsps) heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), Hsp70, and Hsp60 as well as thioredoxin reductase-1 (TrxR-1) have been measured to evaluate the systemic cellular stress response. We found increased levels of pentosidine (P < 0.01), DNPH (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01), HNE (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01), and F2-isoprostanes (P < 0.01) in all the samples from type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy with respect to control group. This was paralleled by a significant induction of cellular HO-1, Hsp60, Hsp70, and TrxR-1 (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). A significant upregulation of both HO-1 and Hsp70 has been detected also in lymphocytes from type 2 diabetic patients without uraemia. Significant positive correlations between DNPH and Hsp60, as well as between the degree of renal failure and HO-1 or Hsp70, also have been found in diabetic uremic subjects. In conclusion, patients affected by type 2 diabetes complicated with nephropathy are under condition of systemic oxidative stress, and the induction of Hsp and TrxR-1 is a maintained response in counteracting the intracellular pro-oxidant status.  相似文献
