Abstract
Nb(2)O(5) nanorods and nanospheres were synthesized, and their photocatalytic activity for methylene blue decomposition in water compared. Nb(2)O(5) nanorods clearly displayed higher activity, despite their comparable surface area. With a shape-dependent surface acidity, hydrothermal stability, and high photoactivity, these Nb(2)O(5) nanorods are a unique and exciting nanomaterial for non-classical photocatalytic mineralization of organic compounds in water.

Rescuing hepatocytes from iron-catalyzed oxidative stress using vitamins B1 and B6. Toxicol In Vitro 2011; 25:1114-22. [PMID: 21457772 DOI: 10.1016/j.tiv.2011.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2011] [Revised: 03/22/2011] [Accepted: 03/23/2011] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
In the following rescue experiments, iron-mediated hepatocyte oxidative stress cytotoxicity was found to be prevented if vitamin B1 or B6 was added 1h after treatment with iron. The role of iron in catalyzing Fenton-mediated oxidative damage has been implicated in iron overload genetic diseases, carcinogenesis (colon cancer), Alzheimer's disease and complications associated with the metabolic syndrome through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The objectives of this study were to interpret the cytotoxic mechanisms and intracellular targets of oxidative stress using "accelerated cytotoxicity mechanism screening" techniques (ACMS) and to evaluate the rescue strategies of vitamins B1 and B6. Significant cytoprotection by antioxidants or ROS scavengers indicated that iron-mediated cytotoxicity could be attributed to reactive oxygen species. Of the B6 vitamers, pyridoxal was best at rescuing hepatocytes from iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein oxidation, and DNA damage, while pyridoxamine manifested greatest protection against ROS-mediated damage. Thiamin (B1) decreased LPO, mitochondrial and protein damage and DNA oxidation. Together, these results indicate that added B1 and B6 vitamins protect against the multiple targets of iron-catalyzed oxidative damage in hepatocytes. This study provides insight into the search for multi-targeted natural therapies to slow or retard the progression of diseases associated with Fenton-mediated oxidative damage.

Abstract
The effect of endotoxin (lipopolysacharide, LPS) exposure on luteal cells was studied using an in vitro cell culture system. Buffalo luteal cells were isolated from corpora lutea of the late luteal phase (days 14-16 post estrus) and exposed to various LPS doses (5, 10 and 100 microg/ml) for different time periods (6, 12, 18 or 24 h). The cultured cells were subsequently evaluated for oxidative stress (super oxide, nitric oxide, inducible nitric oxide synthase activity, reduced glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation) and apoptotic markers (mitochondrial membrane potential, DNA fragmentation, apoptotic cells and cell viability). LPS exposure significantly increased the production of super oxide (P<0.05) and nitric oxide (P<0.01) and increased inducible nitric oxide synthase activity (P<0.01). LPS exposure further depleted reduced glutathione (P<0.05) levels and induced lipid peroxidation (P<0.05). LPS exposure also induced the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (P<0.05), increased DNA fragmentation (P<0.01) and apoptosis (P<0.01) and decreased cell viability (P<0.01). LPS mediated apoptotic pathway in luteal cells was further characterized using a selected LPS dose (10 microg/ml). It was observed that LPS exposure induced mitochondrial translocation of proapoptotic protein Bax, increased the total Bad expression and down regulated the expression of antiapoptotic proteins Bcl2 and BclXL. LPS exposure further induced cytochrome c release and increased Caspase-9 (P<0.01) and Caspase-3 (P<0.01) activities. LPS exposure also inhibited luteal progesterone secretion (P<0.01). It was evident that the LPS mediated apoptotic effects could be prevented by the coincubation of luteal cells with mitochondrial permeability transition pore blocker Cyclosporine A, inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N-[3-(aminomethyl)benzyl]acetamidine and oxidative stress scavenger N-acetyl cysteine. Our study clearly indicates that LPS induces oxidative stress mediated apoptosis in luteal cells through the mitochondrial pathway.

Abstract
We recently reported that PL-AG, a Schiff base of pyridoxal and aminoguanidine, was more effective than aminoguanidine (AG), a well-known anti-diabetic-complication compound, in preventing nephropathy in diabetic mice and presented brief data indicating the antioxidant activity of the adduct. In the present study, we additionally investigated the inhibitory activity of PL-AG in comparison with that of AG against in vitro and in vivo oxidation. PL-AG was more potent than AG and reference compounds such as pyridoxal and pyridoxamine in any of the five antioxidant activities examined in vitro, i.e., hydrogen peroxide-scavenging, hydroxyl radical-scavenging, superoxide radical-scavenging, ascorbic acid-autoxidation inhibitory, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-oxidation inhibitory activities, the last two of which were assessed in the presence of Cu(2+). Unlike AG, PL-AG did not show the pro-oxidant activity. The inhibitory activity of PL-AG against lipid peroxidation in diabetic rats was higher than that of AG, for example, the amounts of malondialdehyde in erythrocytes (nmol/g hemoglobin; mean +/- SD) in normal, untreated diabetic, AG-treated diabetic, and PL-AG-treated diabetic rats were 3.53 +/- 0.35, 4.99 +/- 0.23, 4.65 +/- 0.45, and 4.06 +/- 0.35, respectively. A fluorescent substance different from PL-AG was found in the plasma and urine of rats treated with PL-AG. The chemical structure of this substance, i.e., oxidized PL-AG, was determined by a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance, mass, and infrared spectrometry. AG dramatically decreased the pyridoxal phosphate level in the diabetic rat liver, whereas PL-AG only moderately affected it. Our results indicate that the antioxidant activity of PL-AG is due to its chelation with transition metal ions and to scavenging of reactive oxygen species. They also suggest that PL-AG is more promising for the treatment of diabetic complications than AG.

Abstract
Chitooligosaccharides, the oligomers made up of beta-1,4-linked D-glucosamine, are obtained by partial hydrolysis of chitosan, a deacetylation product of chitin. The antioxidant activity of various chitooligosaccharides was tested in vitro with aminoguanidine, pyridoxamine, and Trolox as reference compounds. Hydroxylation of benzoate to salicylate by H2O2 in the presence of Cu(2+) was effectively inhibited by chitobiose, chitotriose, aminoguanidine, pyridoxamine, and Trolox (their IC(50) values=18, 80, 85, 10, and 95 microM, respectively), whereas glucosamine and N-acetylchito-oligosaccharides (di-N-acetylchitobiose and tri-N-acetylchitotriose) did not show any inhibitory activity. Chitobiose and chitotriose were more potent than the 3 reference compounds in scavenging hydroxyl radicals produced by photolysis of zinc oxide: IC(50) values of the 2 oligomers were 30 and 55 microM, respectively. Such a scavenging activity of these 2 chitooligomers was also shown by the use of another system, a mixture of Fe(3+)/EDTA/ascorbate/H2O2, for producing hydroxyl radicals. Only chitobiose and Trolox, of the 10 compounds tested, had the ability to scavenge superoxide radicals generated by a non-enzymatic system using phenazine methosulfate and NADH. Taken together with our unpublished observation that chitobiose and chitotriose are appreciably absorbed from the intestine of rats, the present results suggest that these 2 chitooligosaccharides would act as effective antioxidants in vivo when orally ingested.

Abstract
Various drugs and chemicals can cause a glutathione (GSH) depletion in the liver. Moreover, nitric oxide (NO) can be generated in response to physiological and pathological situations such as inflammation. The aim of this study was to estimate oxidative stress when primary rat hepatocytes were exposed to GSH depletion after NO production. For this purpose, cells were preincubated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and gamma-interferon (IFN) for 18 h in order to induce NO production by NO synthase and then L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of GSH synthesis, was added for 5 h. In hepatocyte cultures preincubated with LPS and IFN before BSO addition, an increase in lipid peroxidation was noted. In those cells, an elevation of iron-bound NO and a decrease in free NO led us to suggest the involvement of low-molecular-weight iron (LMW iron) in the enhancement of oxidative stress. Indeed, addition of deferiprone, a chelator of LMW iron, reduced iron-bound NO levels and the extent of oxidative stress. Moreover, an important elevation of LMW iron levels was also observed. As both, N-acetylcysteine, a GSH precursor, and N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine, a NO synthase inhibitor, totally inhibited the elevation of LMW iron and oxidative stress, a cooperative role could be attributed to NO production and GSH depletion.

Abstract
The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the antifungal and antimicrobial agent Omadine, i.e. N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione (HOPT), has been investigated in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells in the dark and under UVA irradiation. Omadine inhibits cell growth and induces micronuclei at concentrations >0.5 microM in the absence of light. At a 0.5-microM concentration, an UVA-dose-dependent induction of micronuclei is observed, conditions at which the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in the dark is negligible. The photogenotoxicity is not accompanied by cytotoxicity. Control experiments with the radical scavengers GSH and GSHOEt implicate the involvement of hydroxyl radicals in the photogenotoxicity of Omadine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of a commercial bioflavonoid antioxidant on acetaminophen-induced oxidative injury to feline erythrocytes. DESIGN Randomized controlled study. ANIMALS 45 healthy age-matched cats. PROCEDURE Cats were assigned to 3 experimental groups. Groups 1 and 3 received a bioflavonoid antioxidant (10 mg/d) orally for 2 weeks. Groups 2 and 3 received an oxidative challenge with acetaminophen (90 mg/kg [41 mg/lb] of body weight, PO) on day 7. Packed cell volume, percentage of erythrocytes with Heinz bodies, blood methemoglobin concentration, and blood reduced and oxidized glutathione concentrations were determined at various times during the 2-week study period. RESULTS Adverse effects were not associated with bioflavonoid antioxidant administration alone. Acetaminophen administration resulted in a significant increase in methemoglobin concentration in groups 2 and 3; differences were not detected between these groups. Heinz body concentrations in groups 2 and 3 increased after acetaminophen administration; however, the increase in cats that received the antioxidant was significantly less than in group-2 cats. Total blood glutathione concentrations did not change significantly in groups 2 and 3 after acetaminophen administration; however, ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione concentration increased significantly after administration in group-2 cats, compared with group-3 cats. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Oral administration of bioflavonoid antioxidants to cats at risk for oxidative stress may have a beneficial effect on their ability to resist oxidative injury to erythrocytes.

Abstract
We investigated the antioxidative property of T-0970, a newly synthesized ureidophenol derivative. The inhibitory effect of T-0970 on spontaneous lipid peroxidation in rat brain was 10 times greater than those of well-known antioxidants such as butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), probucol and alpha-tocopherol. T-0970 also showed dose-dependent free radical scavenging activities in vitro for both superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals. The radical-scavenging potencies of T-0970 were about 10-30 times stronger than those of BHT. We evaluated the in vivo antioxidative ability of T-0970 in the animal model of acute oxidative tissue injury in rats. Intraperitoneal injection of ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe/NTA) caused an acute and remarkable increase in the level of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in both plasma and the liver, and also resulted in a considerable elevation of the plasma levels of GOT and GPT indicative of hepatic injury. Both oral and intravenous administration of T-0970 dose-dependently depressed these diagnostic parameters. These results indicate that T-0970 may have a therapeutic potential in various diseases associated with oxidative tissue injury.

Abstract
1. We investigated the effects of 1-(3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-(3-pyridylmethyl)urea hydrochloride (T-0162), a novel low-molecular weight free radical scavenger, on the generation of superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals in vitro and in vivo and on myocardial infarct (MI) size in an in vivo model of MI in rabbits. 2. It was found that T-0162 scavenged both superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals in a concentration-dependent manner in vitro. 3. In an in vivo rabbit model with 30 min coronary occlusion and 30min reperfusion, T-0162 scavenged hydroxyl radicals generated in the myocardium during reperfusion. 4. Anaesthetized open-chest Japanese white male rabbits were subjected to 30 min coronary occlusion and 48 h reperfusion. The control group (n = 10) was infused with 10% lecithin solution for 220 min from 10 min before occlusion to 180 min after reperfusion. The pretreatment group (n = 10) was infused with T-0162 dissolved in 10% lecithin solution for 220 min from 10 min before occlusion to 180 min after reperfusion at a rate of 400 microg/kg per min. The post-treatment group (n = 10) was injected with an i.v. bolus of 10 mg/kg T-0162 and was then infused with 400 microg/kg per min T-0162 for 190 min from 10 min before reperfusion to 180 min after reperfusion. After 48 h reperfusion, infarct size was measured histologically and expressed as a percentage of area at risk (AAR). 5. There was no significant difference in haemodynamic parameters among the three groups throughout the experimental period. The per cent infarct size of the AAR in the T-0162 groups (24.8+/-4.3 and 30.5+/-3.9% for pre- and posttreatment groups, respectively) was significantly reduced compared with control (44.7+/-4.1%; P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the AAR among the three groups. 6. In conclusion, T-0162 reduces MI size through the inhibition of reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has previously been reported to protect against hepatotoxicity resulting from chloroform (CHCl3) or bromobenzene (BB) when given 10 hr after the toxicant. The object of these studies was to further demonstrate the latent protective ability of DMSO by administering it at a much later time (24 hr) following toxicant exposure. In addition, a more detailed evaluation of the lesions was performed to better characterize the lesion progression and resolution. Male Sprague-Dawley rats received a hepatotoxic oral dose of either CHCl3 (1.0 ml/kg) or BB (0.5 ml/kg) and then received 2 ml/kg DMSO intraperitoneally 24 hr later. With both toxicants, limited centrilobular lesions were already present by the time DMSO was administered. Without treatment, liver injury rapidly progressed so that by 48 hr it occupied 40-50% of the liver, with accompanying large increases in plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity. Administration of DMSO greatly attenuated lesion development for both toxicants; the area injured was reduced by more than 4-fold, accompanied by a decrease in 48 hr ALT activity of 8-16-fold. The ability of DMSO to intervene in the development of liver injury at such a late time appears to be unique and may provide insight into therapies for acute xenobiotic-induced hepatitis.
