Radiotherapy may be effectively combined with plant derived radiosensitizers. Ferulic acid, a naturally occurring phenolic acid, has been reported to have free radical producing properties. In the present study, the radiosensitisation potential of ferulic acid has been tested in two cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa and ME-180) in vitro. Percentage of growth inhibition (MTT assay), colony survival, levels of lipid peroxidation (TBARS, CD and LHP), antioxidant status (SOD, CAT, GPx and GSH), oxidative DNA damage (% tail DNA, tail length, tail moment and Olive tail moment), apoptotic morphological changes (AO/EtBr staining) and intracellular ROS levels (DCFH-DA) were estimated. The present results show that ferulic acid (FA) enhances radiation effects by increasing lipid peroxidative markers in HeLa and ME-180 cells. We observed significant enhancement of ROS levels during ferulic acid plus radiation treatment. FA treatment alone increased intracellular ROS levels indicate its prooxidant nature. Similarly, we observed enhanced oxidative DNA damage and apoptotic morphological changes in FA plus radiation treated cells. The present data suggest radiation sensitizing property of FA in cervical cancer cells. Further investigations warrants to substantiate the present findings. 相似文献

Antioxidant potential of sesamol and its role on radiation-induced DNA damage in whole-body irradiated Swiss albino mice 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Sesamol (SM) is a dietary phytochemical present in the processed sesame oil. In this present study we have evaluated the antioxidant potential of SM and its role in the protection of radiation-induced DNA damage in γ-irradiated mice. The antioxidant properties of SM were evaluated by using different in vitro antioxidant assays. SM shows scavenging effect against hydroxyl (OH), superoxide anion (O2−), nitric oxide, 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid radical cation (ABTS+) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. Our results demonstrate that SM exhibits strong antioxidant property in all the in vitro assays. When mice were exposed to 7 Gy γ-radiations there was an increase in % tail DNA, tail length, tail moment and Olive tail moment in blood lymphocytes. SM (100 mg/kg b.wt) pretreatment significantly decreased the % tail DNA, tail length, tail moment and Olive tail moment in irradiated mice lymphocytes. These results suggest that SM protects γ-radiation-induced DNA damage in mice lymphocytes, which may be attributed to its antioxidant property. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant potential of umbelliferone, 7-hydroxy coumarin, and its role in the protection against radiation-induced oxidative damage in cultured human blood lymphocytes. It was found that the antioxidant effect of umbelliferone was dose dependent in hydroxyl (OH(?)), superoxide anion (O(2)(?-)), 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid radical cation (ABTS(?+)) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH(?)) radical scavenging assays. To explore the radioprotective effect of umbelliferone, freshly isolated human blood lymphocytes were treated with 124 μM umbelliferone (optimum dose-fixed by MTT assay) 30 min before 3Gy irradiation. It was found that umbelliferone pretreatment inhibited radiation-induced reactive oxygen species generation in 3Gy exposed lymphocytes. Microscopic observations showed that there was a significant apoptotic cells (ethidium bromide/acridine orange staining) and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (Rhodamine 123 staining) in irradiated lymphocytes. On the other hand, 124 μM umbelliferone treatment significantly decreased % of apoptotic cells and prevented radiation induced mitochondrial depolarization in lymphocytes. Further, it was noticed that there was an increased DNA damage (comet assay), lipid peroxidation with decreased antioxidant enzymatic i.e., superoxide dismutase, catalase and, glutathione peroxidase activities in 3Gy irradiated lymphocytes. Conversely, umbelliferone (124 μM) treatment before irradiation decreased comet attributes and lipid peroxidative markers with improved antioxidant enzyme activities in irradiated lymphocytes. Taken together, the results of this study clearly suggest the radioprotective effect of umbelliferone in human lymphocytes by inhibiting reactive oxygen species generation and its subsequent toxicity. 相似文献

The present study aimed at investigating the protective effects of nerolidol (NRD) against myocardial infarction (MI) induced by isoproterenol (ISO) in Wistar rats. The rats were randomly divided into five groups, each group consisting of six rats. Group I were treated as control rats, group II received NRD (200 mg/kg b.w.) by intragastric intubation for 21 days, group III received ISO (60 mg/kg b.w) subcutaneously (s.c) for two consecutive days on 22nd and 23rd day, group IV and V received NRD (100 and 200 mg/kg b.w) as in group II and additionally ISO was given for two consecutive days (22nd and 23rd). On 24th day all the rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and the blood and heart samples were collected. In the present study, ISO-induced myocardial damage was indicated by the changes in body weight, heart weight and the cardiac and hepatic marker enzymes such as creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and troponin T and I (cTnT, cTnI) in the serum. In addition, the levels of lipid peroxidation products such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), conjugated dines (CD), and lipid hydroperoxides (LHPs) increased significantly in the plasma and heart tissue. Activities of enzymatic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in erythrocytes and heart tissue and the levels of nonenzymatic antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and reduced glutathione (GSH) in plasma and heart tissue were decreased in ISO-induced rats. Histopathological observations were also supported with the biochemical parameters. Pretreatment with NRD at different doses (100 and 200 mg/kg b.w) for 21 days prevented the above changes induced by ISO. The 200 mg/kg b.w of NRD was more pronounced than the other dose and brought back all the above parameters near to normalcy. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the intestinal functions of the NKCC1 Na~+-K~+-2Cl cotransporter(SLC12a2 gene), differential m RNA expression changes in NKCC1-null intestine were analyzed.METHODS: Microarray analysis of m RNA from intestines of adult wild-type mice and gene-targeted NKCC1-null mice(n = 6 of each genotype) was performed to identify patterns of differential gene expression changes. Differential expression patterns were further examined by Gene Ontology analysis using the online Gorilla program, and expression changes of selected genes were verified using northern blot analysis and quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction. Histological staining and immunofluorescence were performed to identify cell types in which upregulated pancreatic digestive enzymes were expressed.RESULTS: Genes typically associated with pancreatic function were upregulated. These included lipase, amylase, elastase, and serine proteases indicative of pancreatic exocrine function, as well as insulin and regenerating islet genes, representative of endocrine function. Northern blot analysis and immunohistochemistry showed that differential expression of exocrine pancreas m RNAs was specific to the duodenum and localized to a subset of goblet cells. In addition, a major pattern of changes involving differential expression of olfactory receptors that function in chemical sensing, as well as other chemosensing G-protein coupled receptors, was observed. These changes in chemosensory receptor expression may be related to the failure of intestinal function and dependency on parenteral nutrition observed in humans with SLC12a2 mutations. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that loss of NKCC1 affects not only secretion, but also goblet cell function and chemosensing of intestinal contents via G-protein coupled chemosensory receptors. 相似文献

AIM To investigate the hypothesis that cardiomyocytespecific loss of the electrogenic NBCe1 Na~+-HCO3~- cotransporter is cardioprotective during in vivo ischemiareperfusion(IR)injury.METHODS An NBCe1 (Slc4a4 gene) conditional knockout mouse(KO)model was prepared by gene targeting.Cardiovascular performance of wildtype (WT) and cardiac-specific NBCe1 KO mice was analyzed by intraventricular pressure measurements,and changes in cardiac gene expression were determined by RNA Seq analysis.Response to in vivo IR injury was analyzed after 30 min occlusion of the left anterior descending artery followed by 3 h of reperfusion. RESULTS Loss of NBCe1 in cardiac myocytes did not impair cardiac contractility or relaxation under basal conditions or in response toβ-adrenergic stimulation,and caused only limited changes in gene expression patterns,such as those for electrical excitability.However,following ischemia and reperfusion,KO heart sections exhibited significantly fewer apoptotic nuclei than WT sections.CONCLUSION These studies indicate that cardiac-specific loss of NBCe1 does not impair cardiovascular performance,causes only minimal changes in gene expression patterns,and protects against IR injury in vivo. 相似文献
