Oxidative stress induced by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury. In the present study, effects of salvianolic acid A (1) on heart H/R injury through its antioxidant activity were examined, using a molecule-based ROS scavenging system and cardiomyocyte model of H/R injury, as well as isolated rat heart model. As a result, 1 showed a potent antioxidant activity, scavenging all of the tested ROS and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The antioxidant effect of 1 was also observed in cardiomyocytes exposed to H/R. Compound 1 remarkably decreased dihydroethidium and dichlorofluorescein fluorescence and increased cell viability and mitochondrial membrane potential, ΔΨ(m), when compared to the H/R group. In isolated rat hearts exposed to H/R, 1 markedly increased the coronary flow, the peak of pressure development and the valley of pressure development, and significantly reduced the left ventricular end diastolic pressure when compared to the H/R group. These results suggested that 1 had significant protective effects against H/R-induced myocardial injury through its antioxidant activity. 相似文献

Protection against cardiomyocyte damage following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is highly desirable in patients with ischemic heart disease. Hydromethanol extracts of Globimetula cupulata (mistletoe) growing on cocoa (CGCE) and kola nut (KGCE) trees were assessed for antioxidant content and cardioprotective potential against I/R. Graded concentrations (1–50 μg/mL) of CGCE or KGCE were tested on Langendorff-perfused rat hearts to evaluate the effects on the flow rate, heart rate, and force of cardiac contraction, while another set of hearts were subjected to biochemical analyses. Both extracts showed good antioxidant content and activity, but KGCE (EC50: 24.8±1.8 μg/mL) showed higher hydroxyl radical scavenging activity than CGCE (70.2±4.5 μg/mL). Both extracts at 3 μg/mL reversed (p < 0.001) membrane peroxidation and the significant decrease in nitrite level, coronary flow rate, and superoxide dismutase and catalase activity caused by the I/R cycle. It is concluded that G. cupulata protects against ischemia–reperfusion injury in rat hearts via augmenting endogenous antioxidants and significant restoration of altered hemodynamic parameters. 相似文献

Context: Picroside II, an iridoid glucoside found in the root of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora Pennell (Scrophulariaceae), has been demonstrated to possess potent antioxidant activity. However, whether picroside II has a protective effect against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocyte injury is poorly understood.Objective: To explore the cardioprotective role of picroside II against oxidative stress induced by H/R injury in neonatal rat cardiacmyocytes.Materials and methods: The viability and cellular damage of cardiomyocytes were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolim bromide (MTT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays, respectively. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), the levels of reduced (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by a colorimetric method. The levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium were evaluated by flow cytometric analysis.Results: We analyzed the effective half-maximal concentration for protection from the dose-response curves and obtained the concentration of 50 µg/mL as EC50. Pretreated cardiomyocytes with picroside II (50–200 µg/mL), prior to H/R exposure, inhibited LDH activity in culture media and increased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. This protective effect was accompanied by significantly increasing reduced GSH contents and the activities of SOD and GSH-Px and attenuating MDA and GSSG contents in response to H/R injury. Furthermore, treatment with picroside II also inhibited ROS production and calcium accumulation in cardiomyocytes.Discussion and conclusion: The present study demonstrates that picroside II protects cardiomyocytes against oxidative-stress injury induced by H/R through reduction of ROS production and calcium accumulation and enhancement of the activity of antioxidant defense. 相似文献

Objectives:Tramadol is a centrally acting synthetic analgesic. It has a cardioprotective effect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in isolated rat heart. We hypothesized that tramadol may exert a similar protective effect on hepatic I/R injury. Hence, the current investigation was designed to study the possible protective effects of tramadol on experimentally-induced hepatic I/R injury in rats.Results:Tramadol attenuated hepatic injury induced by I/R as evidenced by the reduction of transaminases, structural changes, and apoptotic cell death. It decreased the level of inflammatory markers such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), TNF-α/interleukin-10 (IL-10) ratio, and nuclear factor-κB gene expression. It also increased the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10 levels in hepatic tissues. Furthermore, it reduced oxidative stress parameters except manganese superoxide dismutase activity.Conclusion:The results suggest that tramadol has hepatoprotective effects against hepatic I/R injury via anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, and antioxidant effects.KEY WORDS: Angioedema, anti-histamines, chronic urticaria, histaglobulin, urticaria activity score 相似文献

Oxidative stress plays a critical role in cardiac injury during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Despite a potent cardioprotective activity of KR-33889, a novel poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, its underlying mechanism remains unresolved. This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of KR-33889 against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in rat cardiomyocytes H9c2 cells and isolated rat hearts. H2O2 caused severe injury to H9c2 cells, mainly due to apoptosis, as revealed by TUNEL assay. However, KR-33889 pretreatment significantly attenuated H2O2-induced apoptosis of H9c2 cells, which was accompanied by decrease in expression of both cleaved caspase-3 and Bax and increase in Bcl-2 expression and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax. KR-33889 also significantly enhanced the expression of anti-oxidant enzymes including heme oxygenase-1, Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD), Mn-SOD, and catalase, thereby inhibiting production of intracellular ROS. Furthermore, KR-33889 reversed H2O2-induced decrease in phosphorylation of Akt, GSK-3β, ERK1/2, p38 MAPK, and SAPK/JNK during most H2O2 exposure time. In globally ischemic rat hearts, KR-33889 inhibited both I/R-induced decrease in cardiac contractility and apoptosis by increasing Bcl-2, decreasing both cleaved caspase-3 and Bax expression, and enhancing expression of anti-oxidant enzymes. Taken together, these results suggest that KR-33889 may have therapeutic potential to prevent I/R-induced heart injury in ischemic heart diseases mainly by reducing oxidative stress-mediated myocardial apoptosis. 相似文献

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced oxidative stress is a serious clinical problem in the reperfusion therapy for ischemic diseases. Tumstatin is an endogenous bioactive peptide cleaved from type IV collagen α3 chain. We previously reported that T3 peptide, an active subfragment of tumstatin, exerts cytoprotective effects on H2O2-induced apoptosis through the inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. In this study, we investigated whether T3 peptide has cardioprotective effects against I/R injury by using in vitro and ex vivo experimental models. H9c2 cardiomyoblasts were stimulated with oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) for 12 h followed by reoxygenation for 1–8 h (OGD/R; in vitro model). The cells were treated with T3 peptide (30–1000 ng/ml) during OGD. Ten minutes after the pre-perfusion of T3 peptide (300 ng/ml), Langendorff perfused rat hearts were exposed to ischemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 1 h (ex vivo model). T3 peptide inhibited OGD/R-induced apoptosis through the inhibition of mitochondrial ROS production and dysfunction in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. T3 peptide also prevented I/R-induced cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmia and myocardial infarction in the perfused rat heart. In conclusion, we for the first time demonstrated that T3 peptide exerts cardioprotective effects against I/R injury. 相似文献

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damages gastric mucosa via reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity. ROS was reportedly produced
through angiotensin II stimulation in tissues such as kidney, heart and brain. To determine whether AT1 receptor plays a role
in gastric mucosal damage, we examined the effect of AT1 receptor blocker (ARB; losartan, candesartan, valsartan) on I/R-induced
gastric injury in rats. I/R produced microscopic gastric hemorrhagic injury, and increased gastric microvascular permeability
and H2O2 production in rats. The mucosal lesions induced by I/R were attenuated by pretreatment of each ARB. The increase in microvascular
permeability was suppressed by losartan pretreatment. Additionally, I/R-caused H2O2 activation was not observed by pretreatment of losartan, candesartan and valsartan. These results suggest that angiotensin
II stimulation via AT1 receptor and following ROS production in the stomach contribute to the pathogenesis of the gastric
I/R injury.

Context Ligularia fischeri (Ledebour) Turcz. (Compositae) has been used as a leafy vegetable and in traditional medicine to treat hepatic disorder in East Asia.Objective The present study explores the antioxidant activity of LF aqueous extract on EtOH-induced oxidative stress accompanied by hepatotoxicity both in vitro and in vivo.Materials and methods In vitro study using the mouse liver NCTC-1469 cell line was conducted to estimate the cytotoxicity as well as the inhibitory effect of LF extract against alcohol-treated cell damage. In vivo study used an alcohol-fed Wister rat model orally administered EtOH (3.95?g/kg of body weight/d) with or without LF extract (100 or 200?mg/kg body weight) for 6 weeks. Serum and liver tissue were collected to evaluate hepatic injury and antioxidant-related enzyme activity.Results The EC50 value for the DPPH radical scavenging capacity of LF extract was 451.5?μg/mL, whereas the IC50 value of LF extract in terms of EtOH-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was 98.3?μg/mL without cell cytotoxicity. LF extract (200?mg/kg body weight) significantly reduced the triglyceride content of serum (33%) as well as hepatic lipid peroxidation (36%), whereas SOD activity was elevated three-fold. LF extract suppressed expression of CYP2E1 and TNF-α, and attenuated alcohol-induced abnormal morphological changes.Discussion and conclusion LF extract attenuated liver damage induced by alcoholic oxidative stress through inhibition of ROS generation, down-regulation of CYP2E1, and activation of hepatic antioxidative enzymes. Homeostasis of the antioxidative defence system in the liver by LF extract mitigated hepatic disorder following chronic alcohol intake. 相似文献

ContextStreptomyces species are prolific sources of bioactive secondary metabolites known especially for their antimicrobial and anticancer activities.ObjectiveThis study sought to isolate and characterize antioxidant molecules biosynthesized by Streptomyces sp. KTM18. The antioxidant potential of an isolated compound and its toxicity were accessed.Materials and methodsThe compound was purified using bioassay-guided chromatography techniques. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were carried out for structure elucidation. The antioxidant potential of the isolated compound was determined using DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The toxicity of the isolated compound was measured using a brine shrimp lethality (BSL) assay.ResultsEthyl acetate extract of Streptomyces sp. KTM18 showed more than 90% inhibition of DPPH free radical at 50 µg/mL of the test concentration. These data were the strongest among 13 Streptomyces isolates (KTM12–KTM24). The active molecule was isolated and characterized as maculosin (molecular formula, C14H16N2O3 as determined by the [M + H]+ peak at 261.1259). The DPPH free radical scavenging activity of pure maculosin was higher (IC50, 2.16 ± 0.05 µg/mL) than that of commercial butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) (IC50, 4.8 ± 0.05 µg/mL). No toxicity was observed for maculosin (LD50, <128 µg/mL) in brine shrimp lethality assay (BSLA) up to the compound’s antioxidant activity (IC50) concentration range. The commercial standard, berberine chloride, showed toxicity in BSLA with an LD50 value of 8.63 ± 0.15 µg/mL.ConclusionsMaculosin may be a leading drug candidate in various cosmetic and therapeutic applications owing to its strong antioxidant and non-toxic properties. 相似文献

Context Oxidative stress induces apoptosis within Islets of Langerhans in diabetes mellitus (DM). Enicostemma littorale blume, herb of the Gentianaceae family is used as an anti-diabetic agent across rural India.Objective This report demonstrates potent anti-apoptotic and cyto-protective activity of Enicostemma littorale MeOH extract (EL MeOH ext.) against 50?μM H2O2 in isolated rat Islets.Materials and methods In this study, the whole plant methanolic extract of EL with doses 0.25–4?mg/mL each for the preincubation duration of 0.5–4?h against 50?μM H2O2 were tested for optimum protective dose and time by Trypan blue dye exclusion assay. Islet intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was quantified by DCFDA staining and cell death using PS/PI & FDA/PI staining. Further, comet assay, biochemical assessment of caspase-3 and antioxidant enzyme activities along with immunoblotting of PARP-1, caspase-3, TNF-α activation and p-P38 MapK (stress kinase) induction was performed.Results The optimized dose of EL MeOH ext. 2?mg/mL for 2?h was used throughout the study, which significantly decreased total Intracellular ROS and cell death. Further, caspase-3 activity, PARP-1 cleavage, p-P38 MapK (stress kinase) activation and TNF-α levels, which had been significantly elevated, were normalized. Antioxidant enzymes like catalase, superoxide dismutase, reduced glutathione and glutathione peroxidase, along with Comet assay, demonstrated that pretreatment with EL MeOH ext. can augment antioxidant enzyme activities and protect from DNA damage.Discussion and conclusions Significant anti-apoptotic and cyto-protective effects were mediated by EL with Islets of Langerhans subjected to oxidative stress-induced cell death. 相似文献

However, whether picroside II has a protective effect against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocyte injury is poorly understood. Objective: To explore the cardioprotective role of picroside II against oxidative stress induced by H/R injury in neonatal rat cardiacmyocytes. Materials and methods: The viability and cellular damage of cardiomyocytes were assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolim bromide (MTT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays, respectively. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), the levels of reduced (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by a colorimetric method.

BackgroundProlonged exposure of free radicals, or known as reactive oxygen species (ROS), in hepatic cells may cause oxidative stress. Without proper treatment, it can induce liver injury and fatal hepatic disease, including cirrhosis. Red betel (Piper crocatum Ruiz and Pav) is one of Indonesia’s medicinal plants that has been known to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activities. This study aims to determine hepatoprotective effect of red betel leaves extract (RBLE) towards liver injury.MethodHydrogen peroxide-induced HepG2 cells were used as liver injury model·H2O2-induced HepG2 cells were treated with 25 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL RBLE. Several parameters were observed, including TNF-α level through ELISA; necrotic, apoptotic, dead, live cells; and ROS level through flow cytometry analysis; and GPX gene expression through qPCR.ResultThe study showed that treatment with RBLE were able to decrease TNF-α level; necrotic and death cells percentage; as well as ROS level. On the other hand, it were able to increase apoptotic and live cells percentage; as well as GPX gene expression. Low concentration (25 µg/mL) of RBLE treatment exhibited stronger anti-inflammatory activity as it was resulted in the lower TNF-α level and were able to switched hepatic cell death pathway from necrosis to apoptosis as shown by the shifted of apoptotic cells and necrotic cells percentage. This lead to lower death cells and ultimately improve live cells percentage. Meanwhile high concentration of RBLE (100 µg/mL) exhibited stronger antioxidant properties as indicated by lower ROS level and higher GPX gene expression.ConclusionOverall, this study was able to demonstrate hepatoprotective effect of RBLE towards liver injury model through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. 相似文献

A flavone was isolated from Origanum vulgare and identified as didymin (O. vulgare didymin, OVD). The protective effect and mechanism of OVD on acute liver injury was then assessed in vivo and in vitro. Our results showed that OVD significantly alleviated CCl4-induced liver injury in mice and markedly decreased serum ALT and AST activities. OVD treatment significantly reduced CYP2E1 activity, lipid peroxidation level, ROS generation, NO production and pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) in liver tissues and RAW 264.7 cells, but enhanced the hepatic antioxidative enzymes activities. Further study showed that OVD significantly inhibited the NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Interestingly, OVD notably enhanced Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) expression, and the effects of OVD on histological changes, oxidative stress and inflammation was largely abolished by the RKIP specific inhibitor locostatin. Our findings indicate that OVD can ameliorate CCl4-induced liver injury, which may be ascribed to its radical scavenging action, antioxidant activity, and modulation of MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. 相似文献
