Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:3389-3399. [PMID: 38632130 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05289-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
As one of the most common iron-chelating agents, deferoxamine (DFO) rapidly chelates iron in the body. Moreover, it does not compete for the iron characteristic of hemoglobin in the blood cells, which is common in the clinical treatment of iron poisoning. Iron is a trace element necessary to maintain organism normal life activities. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, whereas iron overload can cause elevated levels of cellular oxidative stress and cell damage. As a consequence, detection of the iron content in tissues and blood is of great significance. The traditional techniques for detecting the iron content include inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry, which cannot be used for imaging purposes. Laser ablation-ICP-MS and synchrotron radiation micro-X-ray fluorescence can map the concentration and distribution of iron in tissues. However, these methods can only be used to measure the total iron levels in blood or tissues. In recent years, due to the deepening understanding of iron metabolism, diseases related to iron overload have attracted increasing attention. Therefore, we took advantage of the properties of DFO in terms of chelating iron and investigated different sampling times following DFO injection in the tail vein of mice. We used mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) technology to detect the DFO and ferrioxamine content in the blood and different tissues to indirectly characterize the non-heme iron content.

Abstract
Colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, and its incidence is increasing. Despite advances in medical science, the treatment of colon cancer still poses a significant challenge. This study aimed to investigate the potential protective effects of Adiantum pedatum (AP) extract and/or piceatannol on colon cancer induced via phenylhydrazine (PHZ) in terms of the antioxidant and apoptotic pathways and histopathologic changes in the colons of male albino rats. The rats were randomly divided into eight groups: control, AP extract, piceatannol (P), PHZ, PHZ and AP treatments, PHZ and P treatments, PHZ and both AP and P, and PHZ and prophylaxis with both AP and P. The results demonstrated that PHZ induced oxidative damage, apoptosis, and histopathological changes compared to the control group. However, the administration of AP or P or AP + P as therapy or prophylaxis significantly ameliorated these changes and upregulated the colonic mir-145 and mRNA expression of P53 and PDCD-4 while downregulating the colonic mRNA expression of PI3K, AKT, c-Myc, CK-20, SOX-2, OCT-4, and NanoG compared to the PHZ group. These findings suggest that the candidate drugs may exert their anti-cancer effects through multiple mechanisms, including antioxidant and apoptotic activities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anemia is a direct or indirect consequence of oxidative stress via free radicals on erythrocytes and subsequently on other tissues like liver. Ficus glumosa constitute a rich pharmacologically compound that can prevent or repair oxidative damage. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate the effect of F. glumosa on phenylhydrazine-induced hemolytic anemia and hepatic damage in rats. METHODS Twenty-four (24) albino Wistar rats were assigned to four (4) experimental groups (n=6) as follows: Group I (non-anemic control) and Group 2 (anemic control) received normal saline, while Group III and IV (test groups) 200 and 400 mg/kg of aqueous leaf extract of F. glumosa (ALEFG), respectively. All the groups were treated orally (via a cannula) for seven consecutive days. Intraperitoneal (IP) injection of phenylhydrazine (PHZ) at 40 mg/kg for two consecutive days induced hemolytic anemia in group II to IV before treatment. Rats of all groups were anaesthetized and sacrificed 24 h after the last treatment. Blood and liver samples were collected for some hematological indices, liver function test, antioxidant parameter and histological analysis. RESULTS The LD50 of ALEFG was assessed orally in rats and found to be above 5,000 mg/kg body weight. Significant (p<0.05) decreases in the level of red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB) concentrations and packed cell volume (PCV) by 50% after 2 days of PHZ induction, were attenuated by more than 50% after 7 days administration of ALEFG at 200 and 400 mg/kg. The percentage change in body weight increased significantly (p<0.05) after 7 days post PHZ-induced anemia, but those that received oral administration of ALEFG (at 200 and 400 mg/kg) for 7 days increased significantly (p<0.05) by more than 2%, dose-dependently compared to anemic untreated group. Increased level of serum ALT, AST, ALP and GGT in PHZ-induced anemic animals, were significantly (p<0.05) attenuated in the groups that received oral administration of ALEFG (at 200 and 400 mg/kg) for 7 days. Decreased level of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities with concomitant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) content from PHZ-induced untreated group, were significantly (p<0.05) mitigated in the rats that received oral administration of ALEFG (at 200 and 400 mg/kg) for 7 days. Histopathological analysis showed that ALEFG could remarkably though not completely mitigated PHZ-induced hepatic damage. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggests that the leaves of F. glumosa contain important antioxidant(s) that could effectively reduce hemolytic anemia and hepatic damage, especially during phenylhydrazine-induced toxicity.

Abstract
Anemia is a public health problem that affects many people worldwide. Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a plant supposed to have many healthy features. The present study was done to evaluate the anti-anemic effect of beetroot supplement on anemia induced by phenylhydrazine in albino rats. Fifty rats were randomly divided into five equal groups. The control group was kept normal rats. In the second group, anemia was induced in rats by intraperitoneal injection of phenylhydrazine at 60 mg/kg in 3 divided doses daily, for 3 consecutive days. The last three groups received phenylhydrazine as the anemic group. Then, the third group received beetroot extract in dose 200 mg/kg for 24 days. The fourth group received beetroot powder in dose 1000 mg/kg for 24 days. The last group received iron (III) hydroxide polymaltose complex in dose 5mg/kg for 24 days. Our results showed that hemolytic anemia induced by phenylhydrazine in rats caused alteration in the blood picture, iron indices, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant biomarkers, and histopathological picture. However, the supplementation with beetroot ameliorated these alterations, especially beetroot powder which showed powerful health effects compared to beetroot extract and iron preparation.

Abstract
Phenylhydrazine (PHZ), an intermediate in the synthesis of fine chemicals is toxic for human health and environment. Despite of having severe detrimental effects on different physiological systems, exposure of erythrocytes to PHZ cause destruction of haemoglobin and membrane proteins leading to iron release and complete haemolysis of red blood cells (RBC). Involvement of oxidative stress behind such action triggers the urge for searching a potent antioxidant. The benefits of consuming olive oil is attributed to its 75% oleic acid (OA) content in average. Olive oil is the basic component of Mediterranean diet. Hence, OA has been chosen in our present in vitro study to explore its efficacy against PHZ (1 mM) induced alterations in erythrocytes. Four different concentrations of OA (0.01 nM, 0.02 nM, 0.04 nM and 0.06 nM) were primarily experimented with, among which 0.06 nM OA has shown to give maximal protection. This study demonstrates the capability of OA in preserving the morphology, intracellular antioxidant status and the activities of metabolic enzymes of RBCs that have been diminished by PHZ, through its antioxidant mechanisms. The results of the present study firmly establish OA as a promising antioxidant for conserving the health of erythrocyte from PHZ toxicity which indicate toward future possible use of OA either singly or in combination with other dietary components for protection of erythrocytes against PHZ induced toxic cellular changes.

Abstract
Aniline exposure leads to neuron and spleen toxicity specifically and makes diverse neurological effects and sar-coma that is defined by splenomegaly, hyperplasia, and fibrosis and tumors formation at the end. However, the molecular mechanism(s) of aniline-induced spleen toxicity is not understood well, previous studies have represented that aniline expo-sure results in iron overload and initiation of oxidative/nitrosative disorder stress and oxidative damage to proteins, lipids and DNA subsequently, in the spleen. Elevated expression of cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and phosphorylation of pRB protein along with increases in A, B and CDK1 as a cell cycle regulatory proteins cyclins, and reduce in CDK inhibitors (p21 and p27) could be critical in cell cycle regulation, which contributes to tumorigenic response after aniline exposure. Aniline-induced splenic toxicity is corre-lated to oxidative DNA damage and initiation of DNA glycosylases expression (OGG1, NEIL1/2, NTH1, APE1 and PNK) for removal of oxidative DNA lesions in rat. Oxidative stress causes transcriptional up-regulation of fibrogenic/inflammatory factors (cytokines, IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α) via induction of nuclear factor-kappa B, AP-1 and redox-sensitive transcription factors, in aniline treated-rats. The upstream signalling events as phosphorylation of IκB kinases (IKKα and IKKβ) and mito-gen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) could potentially be the causes of activation of NF-κB and AP-1. All of these events could initiate a fibrogenic and/or tumorigenic response in the spleen. The spleen toxicity of aniline is studied more and the different mechanisms are suggested. This review summarizes those events following aniline exposure that induce spleen tox-icity and neurotoxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The fruits of Opuntia elatior Mill. are known as prickly pear and folkloric use as hematinic, anti-inflammatory and antiasthmatic action. Previously, the fruit juice of prickly pear was evaluated in reversed anemia induced by HgCl2 in a dose dependant manner and present study revealed about its effect in acute hemolytic anemia. AIM To evaluate the hematinic activity of fruits of Opuntia elatior Mill. MATERIALS AND METHODS The hematinic activity of an orally administered fruit juice was studied on phenylhydrazine (PHZ)-induced anemic rats. The hematological parameters such as hemoglobin (Hb) content, red blood cell (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), and reticulocyte count were analyzed as indices of anemia. RESULTS PHZ altered the hematological parameters by hemolysis characterized by a decrease in Hb content, total RBC counts and PCV (P < 0.001) on day 3. The Hb content (g%) was significantly increased (P < 0.05) at day 7 in 10 and 15 ml/kg fruit juice treated rats, which was a good improvement compared to the standard. CONCLUSION The speedy and progressive recovery of anemic rats responding to treatment of the O. elatior Mill. fruits may be due to increased erythropoiesis and/or antioxidant property of betacyanin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phenylhydrazine, a hemolytic agent, is widely used as a model of experimental hyperbilirubinemia. Palm tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) was shown to exert beneficial effects in hyperbilirubinemic rat neonates. AIM To investigate the effects of palm TRF supplementation on hepatic bilirubin-metabolizing enzymes and oxidative stress status in rats administered phenylhydrazine. METHODS Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into two groups; one group was intraperitoneally injected with palm TRF at the dose of 30 mg/kg/day, while another group was only given vehicle (control) (vitamin E-free palm oil) for 14 days. Twenty-four hours after the last dose, each group was further subdivided into another two groups. One group was administered phenylhydrazine (100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) and another group was administered normal saline. Twenty-four hours later, blood and liver were collected for biochemical parameter measurements. RESULTS Phenylhydrazine increased plasma total bilirubin level and oxidative stress in the erythrocytes as well as in the liver, which were reduced by the pretreatment of palm TRF. Palm TRF also prevented the increases in hepatic heme oxygenase, biliverdin reductase and UDP-glucuronyltransferase activities induced by phenylhydrazine. CONCLUSION Palm tocotrienol-rich fraction was able to afford protection against phenylhydrazine-induced hyperbilirubinemia, possibly by reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting bilirubin-metabolizing enzymes in the liver.

Abstract
Hepatitis B can progress into hepatocellular carcinoma. Body irons may interfere with the clearance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and contribute to genesis of tumor. To investigate the role of iron played in HBV-related pathogenesis, here we studied the effect of iron with different concentrations and valence states on growth of HepG2.2.15 cells and secretion of virus proteins. A strong tolerance of HepG2.2.15 cells to iron challenge was found. The concentration of hepatitis B surface antigen in cell culture medium was decreased after iron stimulation. Lower concentrations of iron facilitated hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) secretion. Fe(2+) appeared more effective on HBeAg secretion than Fe(3+) did. In parallel, the differential protein profiles in HepG2.2.15 cells were studied by iTRAQ and LC-MS/MS. The differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in stress response, signal transduction, apoptosis, etc. Four proteins (14-3-3 β/α, VCP, migration inhibitory factor, and Nup153) were verified by Western-blotting and found to be consistent with the iTRAQ data. Interestingly, nuclear import of Nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) and its activity were found to be affected by the decreased Nup153 in iron stimulated HepG2.2.15 cells. The results may indicate possible molecular mechanism how the synergism of HBV and iron stimulation damages host liver cells.

Abstract
Exposure to a variety of toxins and/or infectious agents leads to disease, degeneration and death, often characterised by circumstances in which cells or tissues do not merely die and cease to function but may be more or less entirely obliterated. It is then legitimate to ask the question as to whether, despite the many kinds of agent involved, there may be at least some unifying mechanisms of such cell death and destruction. I summarise the evidence that in a great many cases, one underlying mechanism, providing major stresses of this type, entails continuing and autocatalytic production (based on positive feedback mechanisms) of hydroxyl radicals via Fenton chemistry involving poorly liganded iron, leading to cell death via apoptosis (probably including via pathways induced by changes in the NF-κB system). While every pathway is in some sense connected to every other one, I highlight the literature evidence suggesting that the degenerative effects of many diseases and toxicological insults converge on iron dysregulation. This highlights specifically the role of iron metabolism, and the detailed speciation of iron, in chemical and other toxicology, and has significant implications for the use of iron chelating substances (probably in partnership with appropriate anti-oxidants) as nutritional or therapeutic agents in inhibiting both the progression of these mainly degenerative diseases and the sequelae of both chronic and acute toxin exposure. The complexity of biochemical networks, especially those involving autocatalytic behaviour and positive feedbacks, means that multiple interventions (e.g. of iron chelators plus antioxidants) are likely to prove most effective. A variety of systems biology approaches, that I summarise, can predict both the mechanisms involved in these cell death pathways and the optimal sites of action for nutritional or pharmacological interventions.

Abstract
The splenic toxicity of aniline is characterized by vascular congestion, hyperplasia, fibrosis, and the development of a variety of sarcomas in rats. However, the underlying mechanisms by which aniline elicits splenotoxic response are not well understood. Previously we have shown that aniline exposure causes oxidative damage to the spleen. To further explore the oxidative mechanism of aniline toxicity, we evaluated the potential contribution of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which catalyzes heme degradation and releases free iron. Male SD rats were given 1 mmol/kg/day aniline in water by gavage for 1, 4, or 7 days, and respective controls received water only. Aniline exposure led to significant increases in HO-1 mRNA expression in the spleen (2-and 2.4-fold at days 4 and 7, respectively) with corresponding increases in protein expression, as confirmed by ELISA and Western blot analysis. Furthermore, immunohistochemical assessment of spleen showed stronger immunostaining for HO-1 in the spleens of rats treated for 7 days, confined mainly to the red pulp areas. No changes were observed in mRNA and protein levels of HO-1 after 1 day exposure. The increase in HO-1 expression was associated with increases in total iron (2.4-and 2.7-fold), free iron (1.9-and 3.5-fold), and ferritin levels (1.9-and 2.1-fold) at 4 and 7 days of aniline exposure. Our data suggest that HO-1 up-regulation in aniline-induced splenic toxicity could be a contributing pro-oxidant mechanism, mediated through iron release, and leading to oxidative damage.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA, a proinflammatory fatty acid) in combination with iron promotes excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and exerts a deleterious effect on mitochondria. We have shown previously that activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) protects hepatocytes from AA + iron-induced apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenol in grapes, has beneficial effects mediated through SIRT1, LKB1, and AMPK. This study investigated the potential of resveratrol to protect against the mitochondrial impairment induced by AA + iron and the underlying mechanism for this cytoprotection. Resveratrol treatment inhibited apoptosis, ROS production, and glutathione depletion elicited by AA + iron in HepG2 cells. In addition, resveratrol attenuated superoxide generation in mitochondria and inhibited mitochondrial dysfunction induced by AA + iron. Overall, AMPK activation by resveratrol contributed to cell survival, as supported by the reversal of its restoration of mitochondrial membrane potential by either overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant of AMPKalpha or compound C treatment. Resveratrol increased inhibitory phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK3beta) downstream of AMPK, which contributed to mitochondrial protection and cell survival. Likewise, small interfering RNA knockdown of LKB1, an upstream kinase of AMPK, reduced the ability of resveratrol to protect cells from mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, this LKB1-dependent mitochondrial protection resulted from resveratrol's poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase activation, but not SIRT1 activation, as supported by the experiment using 3-aminobenzamide, a poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase inhibitor. Other polyphenols, such as apigenin, genistein, and daidzein, did not activate AMPK or protect mitochondria against AA + iron. Thus, resveratrol protects cells from AA + iron-induced ROS production and mitochondrial dysfunction through AMPK-mediated inhibitory phosphorylation of GSK3beta downstream of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-LKB1 pathway.

Abstract
Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) oxidation resulting in free iron release followed by free radical generation has increased frequency of cancer. This study aims towards the dose-dependent response of PHZ and the role of melatonin in comparison with vitamin E following PHZ-induced toxicity within the lymphoid tissue (spleen) of Indian tropical seasonal breeder, Funambulus pennanti, during reproductively active phase. An increase in the damages in terms of lipid peroxidation (LPO), apoptosis percentage, and splenomegaly was observed following different doses of PHZ treatment, i.e., 0.025, 0.5, and 1 mg/100 g body weight (b.wt.), where dose of 1 mg/100 g b.wt. showed more significant damages. Both melatonin (0.5 mg/100 g b.wt.) and vitamin E (1 mg/100 g b.wt.) administration ameliorated oxidative damages of 1 mg/100 g b.wt. PHZ-treated group. Melatonin altered PHZ-induced responses significantly to a greater degree than vitamin E as evidenced by LPO status, SOD activity, and ABTS radical cation scavenging activity of antioxidants. Thus, melatonin might be able to restrict carcinogenic property of PHZ-induced oxidative stress by protecting macromolecules of the cell from harmful effects of PHZ and instead preserving cell viability.

Abstract
Heme-regulated eIF2alpha kinase (HRI) plays an essential protective role in anemias of iron deficiency, erythroid protoporphyria, and beta-thalassemia. In this study, we report that HRI protein is present in murine macrophages, albeit at a lower level than in erythroid precursors. Hri-/- mice exhibited impaired macrophage maturation and a weaker antiinflammatory response with reduced cytokine production upon LPS challenge. The level of production of hepcidin, an important player in the pathogenesis of the anemia of inflammation, was significantly decreased in Hri-/- mice, accompanied by decreased splenic macrophage iron content and increased serum iron content. Hepcidin expression was also significantly lower, with a concomitant increase in serum iron in Hri-/- mice upon LPS treatment. We also demonstrated an impairment of erythrophagocytosis by Hri-/- macrophages both in vitro and in vivo under chronic hemolytic anemia, providing evidence for the role of HRI in recycling iron from senescent red blood cells. This work demonstrates that HRI deficiency attenuates hepcidin expression and iron homeostasis in mice, indicating a potential role for HRI in the anemia of inflammation.

Abstract
The mushroom hydrazine agaritine was measured in mouse plasma and urine using LC/MS/MS, which is highly specific. Agaritine concentration peaked 20 min after oral administration to mice (4.0 and 40 mg/kg). The concentration gradually decreased and returned to the basal level in 100 min. The maximum concentration, the time to the maximum concentration, and the half life were 0.37 microg/ml plasma, 0.33 h, and 0.71 h, respectively after administration of agaritine at 40 mg/kg body weight. One agaritine metabolite was found in the plasma and the urine from agaritine-administered mice. The structure of metabolites of agaritine by gamma-GT was next investigated using LC/MS. HMPH proved to be generated from agaritine. The oxidative stress marker 8-OHdG was detected in agaritine-administered mouse urine. After administration, the 8-OHdG level immediately tripled, and then decreased to the control level over 48 h. Its level then elevated again and remained high for 11 days. These results suggest that agaritine quickly metabolizes and disappears in the plasma, whereas DNA damage lasts for a long time after a single administration of agaritine to mice.

Abstract
4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid, an ingredient of mushroom Agaricus bisporus, is carcinogenic to rodents. To clarify the mechanism of carcinogenesis, we investigated DNA damage by 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid using (32)P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from the human p53 and p16 tumor suppressor genes. 4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid induced Cu(II)-dependent DNA damage especially piperidine-labile formation at thymine and cytosine residues. Typical hydroxyl radical scavengers showed no inhibitory effects on Cu(II)-mediated DNA damage by 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid. Bathocuproine and catalase inhibited the DNA damage, indicating the participation of Cu(I) and H(2)O(2) in the DNA damage. These findings suggest that H(2)O(2) generated by the autoxidation of 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid reacts with Cu(I) to form reactive oxygen species, capable of causing DNA damage. Interestingly, catalase did not completely inhibit DNA damage caused by a high concentration of 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid (over 50 microM) in the presence of Cu(II). 4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid induced piperidine-labile sites frequently at adenine and guanine residues in the presence of catalase. 4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid increased formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a characteristic oxidative DNA lesion, in calf thymus DNA, whereas 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid did not increase the formation of 8-oxodG in the presence of catalase. ESR spin-trapping experiments showed that the phenyl radical was formed during the reaction of 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid in the presence of Cu(II) and catalase. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass (MALDI-TOF/mass) spectrometry analysis showed that phenyl radical formed adduct with adenosine and guanosine. These results suggested that 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid induced DNA damage via not only H(2)O(2) production but also phenyl radical production. This study suggests that both oxidative DNA damage and DNA adduct formation play important roles in the expression of carcinogenesis of 4-hydrazinobenzoic acid.

Abstract
The regulation of iron absorption is of considerable interest in mammals since excretion is minimal. Recent advances in iron metabolism have expounded the molecular mechanisms by which iron absorption is attuned to the physiological demands of the body. The pinnacle was the discovery and identification of hepcidin, a hepatic antimicrobial peptide that regulates absorption to maintain iron homeostasis. While the intricacies of its expression and regulation by HFE, transferrin receptor 2 and hemojuvelin are still speculative, hepcidin responsiveness has correlated negatively with iron absorption in different models and disorders of iron metabolism. Consequently, hepcidin expression is repressed to enhance iron absorption during stimulated erythropoiesis even in situations of elevated iron stores. Animal models have been crucial to the advances in understanding iron metabolism and the present review focuses on phenylhydrazine treated and hypotransferrinaemic rodents. These, respectively, experimental and genetic models of enhanced erythropoiesis highlight the shifting focus of iron absorption regulation from the marrow to the liver.

Abstract
Iron overload aggravates tissue damage caused by ischemia and ethanol intoxication. The underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon are not yet clear. To clarify these mechanisms we followed free iron ("loosely" bound redox-active iron) concentration in livers from rats subjected to experimental iron overload, acute ethanol intoxication, and ex vivo warm ischemia. The levels of free iron in non-homogenized liver tissues, liver homogenates, and hepatocyte cultures were analyzed by means of EPR spectroscopy. Ischemia gradually increased the levels of endogenous free iron in liver tissues and in liver homogenates. The increase was accompanied by the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products. Iron overload alone, known to increase significantly the total tissue iron, did not affect either free iron levels or lipid peroxidation. Homogenization of iron-loaded livers, however, resulted in the release of a significant portion of free iron from endogenous depositories. Acute ethanol intoxication increased free iron levels in liver tissue and diminished the portion of free iron releasing during homogenization. Similarly to liver tissue, the primary hepatocyte culture loaded with iron in vitro released significantly more free iron during homogenization compared to non iron-loaded hepatocyte culture. Analyzing three possible sources of free iron release under these experimental conditions in liver cells, namely ferritin, intracellular transferrin-receptor complex and heme oxygenase, we suggest that redox active free iron is released from ferritin under ischemic conditions whereas ethanol and homogenization facilitate the release of iron from endosomes containing transferrin-receptor complexes.

Abstract
Mechanisms by which aniline produces selective toxicity to the spleen are not well understood. Previously, studies showed that aniline exposure induces lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation in the spleen. The present study was aimed to determine the release of free iron and oxidative DNA damage in the spleen following aniline exposure. To achieve this, male SD rats were orally administered 1 mmol/kg/d aniline for 7 d, while controls received the vehicle only. Total splenic iron content showed a significant increase of 200% in the aniline-treated rats, whereas free iron (low-molecular-weight chelatable iron) showed a marked increase of 375% in comparison to controls. Oxidative DNA damage, measured in terms of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels, showed a remarkable increase of 83% in the aniline-treated rats. These results suggest an association between release of free iron and oxidative DNA damage, which could lead to mutagenic and/or carcinogenic responses in the spleen.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that iron plays an important role in tissue damage both during chronic iron overload diseases (i.e., hemochromatosis) and when, in the absence of actual tissue iron overload, iron is delocalized from specific carriers or intracellular sites (inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, postischaemic reperfusion, xenobiotic intoxications, etc.). In the present work, we appropriately modified an iron chelator of the hydroxychromene family in order to obtain a tridentate chelator that would inactivate the iron redox cycle after its complexation, with a view to using this molecule in human therapy and/or in disease prevention. We synthesized such a chelator for the first time and show, by different physicochemical analysis, its tridentate nature and, importantly, its capacity to chelate iron with enough strength to inhibit both iron-dependent H(2)O(2) generation and lipid peroxidation in in vitro biological systems.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at determining whether hepcidin, a recently identified peptide involved in iron metabolism, plays a role in conditions associated with both iron overload and iron deficiency. Hepcidin mRNA levels were assessed in two models of anemia, acute hemolysis provoked by phenylhydrazine and bleeding provoked by repeated phlebotomies. Hepcidin response to hypoxia was also studied, both ex vivo, in human hepatoma cells, and in vivo. Anemia and hypoxia were associated with a dramatic decrease in liver hepcidin gene expression, which may account for the increase in iron release from reticuloendothelial cells and increase in iron absorption frequently observed in these situations. A single injection of turpentine for 16 hours induced a sixfold increase in liver hepcidin mRNA levels and a twofold decrease in serum iron. The hyposideremic effect of turpentine was completely blunted in hepcidin-deficient mice, revealing hepcidin participation in anemia of inflammatory states. These modifications of hepcidin gene expression further suggest a key role for hepcidin in iron homeostasis under various pathophysiological conditions, which may support the pharmaceutical use of hepcidin agonists and antagonists in various iron homeostasis disorders.

Abstract
Iron, to be redox cycling active, has to be released from its macromolecular complexes (ferritin, transferrin, hemoproteins, etc.). Iron is released from hemoglobin or its derivatives in a nonprotein-bound, desferrioxamine-chelatable form (DCI) in a number of conditions in which the erythrocytes are subjected to oxidative stress. Such conditions can be related to toxicological events (haemolytic drugs) or to physiological situations (erythrocyte ageing, reproduced in a model of prolonged aerobic incubation), but can also result from more subtle circumstances in which a state of ischemia-reperfusion is imposed on erythrocytes (e.g., childbirth). The released iron could play a central role in oxidation of membrane proteins and senescent cell antigen (SCA) formation, one of the major pathways for erythrocyte removal. Iron chelators able to enter cells (such as ferrozine, quercetin, and fluor-benzoil-pyridoxal hydrazone) prevent both membrane protein oxidation and SCA formation. The increased release of iron observed in beta-thalassemia patients and newborns (particularly premature babies) suggests that fetal hemoglobin is more prone to release iron than adult hemoglobin. In newborns the release of iron in erythrocytes is correlated with plasma nonprotein-bound iron and may contribute to its appearance.

Abstract
Water quality guidelines for industrial effluents are in place in many countries but they have generally evolved within a limited ecotoxicological framework. Effluents from iron-ore mines have traditionally been viewed by regulatory bodies as posing little or no risk to the aquatic environment. However, it was recently reported that lake trout taken from a large iron-ore contaminated Lake in Labrador (Wabush Lake) had elevated levels of DNA oxidative damage and were markedly depleted in levels of vitamin A (Payne et al., 1998) in comparison with fish from a Lake (Shabogamo Lake) receiving lesser levels of effluents. Through further observations, it has now been established that the lake trout in Wabush Lake are commonly affected with a marked skin bleaching syndrome in comparison with fish in Shabogamo Lake and a nearby Lake (Ashuanipi) which does not receive effluents. To the authors' knowledge such a syndrome which is characterized by marked reduction in skin pigmentation and overall increase in skin whitening has not been reported before in any fish population in association with contamination. Preliminary information for liver histopathological and blood cell differences have also been obtained in fish in Wabush Lake in comparison with Ashuanipi Lake. It has also been observed through studies on phosphatidyl liposomes that iron-ore leachate contains redox-active material (iron but possibly other transition metals) that has considerable potential for causing oxidative damage to cellular constituents. Using the weight of evidence approach it is indicated that iron-ore effluents may pose more of a risk to the aquatic environment than traditionally considered by regulatory agencies.

Abstract
Phenylhydrazine and iron overload result in augmented oxidative damage and an increased likelihood of cancer. Melatonin is a well known antioxidant and free radical scavenger. The aim of this study was to determine whether melatonin would protect against phenylhydrazine-induced oxidative damage to cellular membranes and to evaluate the possible role of iron in this process. Changes in lipid peroxidation and microsomal membrane fluidity were estimated after the treatment of rats with phenylhydrazine (15 mg/kg body weight, daily, 7 days) alone and melatonin or ascorbic acid (15 mg/kg body weight, two times daily, 8 days), or their combination. Additionally, lipid peroxidation was measured in liver homogenates from untreated and melatonin or ascorbic acid-treated rats in vivo and exposed to iron in vitro. Melatonin, but not ascorbic acid, reduced phenylhydrazine-induced lipid peroxidation in vivo in spleen (3.16+/-0.06 vs. 3.83+/-0.12 nmol/mg protein, P<0.05) and plasma (7. 73+/-0.52 vs. 9.96+/-0.71 nmol/ml, P<0.05) and attenuated the decrease in hepatic microsomal membrane fluidity (1/polarization, 3. 068+/-0.007 vs. 3.027+/-0.008, P<0.05). In vitro exposure to iron significantly enhanced the lipid peroxidation in liver homogenates from untreated (3.34+/-0.75 vs. 1.25+/-0.28, P<0.05) or ascorbic acid-treated rats (2.72+/-0.39 vs. 0.88+/-0.06, P<0.05) but not from melatonin-treated rats (1.49+/-0.55 vs. 0.68+/-0.20, NS). It is concluded that free radical mechanisms are involved in the toxicity of phenylhydrazine and that the antioxidant melatonin, but not ascorbic acid, reduces the toxic affects of phenylhydrazine in vivo and of iron in vitro in cell membranes. Therefore, melatonin co-treatment in conditions of iron overload may prove beneficial.

Abstract
Membrane lipids and cytosolic proteins are major targets of oxidative injury. This study examined the effect of heat-shock preconditioning associated with the induction of heat-shock protein 72 on liver injury, from the aspect of lipid peroxidation and protein denaturation after carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration in rats--one of the representative oxidative injuries. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups, group HS (preconditioned by heat exposure) and group C (not preconditioned). Expression of HSP72 in the liver tissue was confirmed by Western blot analysis. After a 48-h recovery period, all rats were given CCl4 intragastrically. Liver damage was assessed by measuring serum liver-related enzyme levels and adenine nucleotide concentration in the liver tissue. Lipid peroxidation and protein denaturation were evaluated by measuring tiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and by immunohistochemical staining of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal(HNE)-modified proteins in the liver. Survival rates of the rats after CCl4 administration were also compared. Expression of HSP72 was clearly detected in group HS, but not in group C. Heat-shock preconditioning significantly improved the survival rate, suppressed the increase in liver-related enzyme levels and maintained adenosine triphosphate levels (P<0.01 each). HNE-modified proteins--denatured proteins by free radical attack--were significantly less stained in group HS than in group C (P<0.05). However, TBARS levels did not differ between groups. Because heat-shock preconditioning did not alter TBARS levels but reduced HNE-modified proteins in association with the expression of HSP72, it is suggested that HSP72 did not prevent lipid peroxidation but decreased the lipid peroxidation-induced denaturation of proteins. This seemed to be a mechanism of heat-shock preconditioning to ameliorate oxidative liver injury.

Abstract
Incubation of rat erythrocytes with the hydroxylated metabolites of aniline and dapsone (4-4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone), phenylhydroxylamine and dapsone hydroxylamine, respectively, induced marked release of iron and methemoglobin formation. On the contrary, no release of iron nor methemoglobin formation was seen when the erythrocytes were incubated with the parent compounds (aniline and dapsone). The acute intoxication of rats with aniline or dapsone induced a marked increase in the erythrocyte content of free iron and methemoglobin, indicating that the xenobiotics are effective only after biotransformation to toxic metabolites in vivo. Prolonged administration of aniline or dapsone to rats produced continuous release of iron from erythrocytes. Marked iron overload was seen in the spleen and in the liver Kupffer cells, as detected histochemically. The spleen weight in these subchronically treated animals was significantly increased. The free iron pool was markedly increased in the spleen and to a lower extent in the liver. The possible relationships between iron release in erythrocytes, oxidative damage seen in senescent cells, hemolysis, overwhelmed capacity of spleen and liver to keep iron in storage forms and subsequent increase in low molecular weight, catalitically active iron is discussed.
