三硝基甲苯致晶体氧化损伤的研究

采取大鼠晶体体外培养的方法,动态观察了在三硝基甲苯作用下,晶体中脂类过氧化、维生素Ｃ含量及超氧化物歧化酶活性的改变,并与对照组进行比较。发现随着三硝基甲苯作用时间的增加,晶体中脂类过氧化增高;维生素Ｃ含量呈下降趋势;超氧化物歧化酶活性在第１天升高,第５天下降。     

四种中草药抗白内障形成中晶状体脂类过氧化水平及脂类含量的变化

我们观察了中草药防治大鼠半乳糖性白内障形成中脂类含量的变化及脂类过氧化水平。结果表明,与正常晶状体相比,白内障晶状体中总脂类的含量明显降低,总胆固醇的含量及脂类过氧化水平明显升高,总脂类与总胆固醇之比明显下降。而同时分别用黄苓、石斛、菟丝子及玉蝴蝶四种中草药水煎剂灌胃的大鼠晶状体中,总胆类与总胆固醇的含量基本恢复至正常;脂类过氧化水平虽仍高于正常晶状体,但也明显低于白内障晶状体,表明脂类过氧化参与了白内障的形成,上述四种中草药具有抑制脂类过氧化的作用。     

三硝基甲苯致晶状体上皮细胞DNA损伤作用的研究

本文通过出生后７天和２４个月两组大鼠晶状体与２０％三硝基甲苯（ＴＮＴ）甘油：水（８：２）混悬液体外培养,培养箱通５％ＣＯ２,恒温３７℃,观察ＴＮＴ对晶状体上皮细胞ＤＮＡ的损伤程度,结果以反映单链ＤＮＡ断裂强度的Ｆ６３０／Ｆ５３０比值表示。ＨＰＬＣ分析发现经体外ＴＮＴ孵育的晶状体内含有ＴＮＴ及其代谢产物;当共同培养９６ｈ后,Ｆ６４０／Ｆ５３０比值随着ＴＮＴ剂量增加而增大,达到４０μＬ（１１．７４μｍｏｌ／Ｌ）时趋向平稳;当用ＴＮＴ浓度为４．４０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ的相同剂量培养时,４８小时后单链ＤＮＡ断裂最为严重Ｆ６３０／Ｆ５３０比值为１．５０,明显高子正常对照组（Ｐ＜０．０１）;幼鼠单链ＤＮＡ断裂程度显著高于老龄鼠（Ｐ＜０．０１）。     

乳鼠与成年大鼠晶状体中某些代谢的比较

对乳鼠与10月龄成年大鼠的晶状体代谢进行比较。结果表明,年成大鼠晶状体脂类过氧化作用较乳鼠显著高(P<0.05),而非蛋白质就基含量则较乳鼠低约22％(P<0.01),谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性随鼠龄增长而逐渐下降,成年大鼠GSH-Px活性较18日龄乳鼠降低62％(P<0.01),成年大鼠的谷胱甘肽还原酶活性较18日龄乳鼠低47％(P<0.01),而谷胱甘肽硫转移酶则高14％(P<0.01)。据此结果推测,去年性白内障的发生可能与晶状体抗氧化遗伤的防御机制减弱与脂类过氧化作用增加有关。而乳鼠晶状体谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GST)活性低于成年大鼠或许是某些中毒性白内障只可在幼年动物诱发成功的影响因素之一。     

三硝基甲苯致白内障机理及其在晶状体内代谢的研究

在建立TNT大鼠白内障的基础上,用HPLC分析了晶状体内TNT及其代谢产物,并用ESR及NBT方法检测了TNT在晶状体内的代谢过程所产生的自由基。结果表明,慢性染毒24个月的大鼠白内障晶状体内含有TNT原形和4氨基2,6二硝基甲苯代谢产物,以及在体外与正常晶状体微粒体孵育可产生TNT硝基阴离子自由基和超氧阴离子自由基。上述结果提示,TNT可进入晶状体内,在其还原代谢过程中产生硝基阴离子自由基中间产物,在有氧条件下进而产生超氧阴离子自由基,这可能是TNT导致白内障的启动因素。     

降解三硝基甲苯的酵母和类酵母菌的研究

从受三硝基甲苯（TNT）严重污染的土壤和废水中分离筛选到17株可降解TNT的酵母菌和白地霉。其中6株为克鲁斯假丝酵母（Candidakrusei）,4株为橡树假丝酵母（C.quercitrusa）,一株为无名假丝酵母（C.famata）,一株为伯杰汉逊酵母（Hansenulabeijerinckii）,一株为亚膜汉逊酵母（H.subpelliculosa）,4株为白地霉（Geotrichumcandidum）。对其中6株菌进行了降解TNT的条件实验,发现降解TNT的适宜pH为7,温度为37～40℃。在含75～80mg／LTNT的培养基中,40h内能降解TNT56～74mg／L,去除率达71％～93％。在培养基中加入0．01％～0．05％的葡萄糖作碳源,或加入0.01％～0．1％的酵母膏对6株菌降解TNT的能力略有促进作用。加入铵盐作为氮源则明显抑制这些菌对TNT的降解。     

三硝基甲苯对大鼠晶状体中可溶性蛋白质、巯基及二硫键含量的影响

我们采用三硝基甲苯（ＴＮＴ）与大鼠晶状体体外培养的方法,动态观察了晶状体中可溶性蛋白质、非蛋白质巯基、蛋白质巯基、蛋白质结合巯基及二硫键含量的变化,发现随着三硝基甲苯作用时间的延长,可溶性蛋白质、非蛋白质巯基及蛋白质巯基均减少,蛋白质结合巯基及二硫键交联的蛋白质含量增加,其中可溶性蛋白质、非蛋白质巯基及二硫键含量的变化皆达到了统计学上显著意义水平（Ｐ＜０．０５）。

目的改良大鼠半乳糖性白内障动物模型制备方法 ,比较改良前后两种方法各自的特点及其机制。方法 60只体重（180±10）g的雄性成年SD大鼠随机分为空白对照组（C）、半乳糖性白内障组1（G1）和半乳糖性白内障组2（G2）。G1组腹腔注射50%半乳糖溶液20mL/（kg·d）,连续30d;G2组第1周、第2周分别腹腔注射50%半乳糖溶液10、15mL/（kg·d）,第3周开始增至20mL/（kg·d）,直至第30d。应用裂隙灯观察晶体混浊情况,按大鼠晶状体混浊度评分标准进行分级和记录,并分别观察和比较不同制备方法的成模时间、模型成功率、模型死亡率和晶状体宏观形态变化以及SOD、MDA含量的变化。结果 G1和G2组模型死亡率分别为50%和10%,方法改良后死亡率显著降低;模型成功率分别为50%和90%,方法改良后成功率显著提高;两组模型晶状体混浊度一般为Ⅱ级或Ⅲ级;与C组比较,G1和G2组SOD、MDA含量的变化均有极显著差异（P﹤0.01）,而G2与G1组比较,差异不显著。结论半乳糖性白内障动物模型制备方法改良后,保留了改良前模型制备方法的优点,克服了改良前模型成活率低、死亡率高的缺点,是一种更为安全、可靠的模型制备方法 。     

抗氧化剂与自由基清除剂对硒性白内障形成的影响

本文观察了8种化合物(抗氧化剂及自由基清除剂)对大鼠亚硒酸钠性白内障的影响。实验分为正常对照组,亚硒酸钠组及药物对抗组。亚硒酸钠组系给13日龄大鼠皮下注射亚硒酸钠(6μmoles/kg体重),间日一次,逐次递增1μmole/kg体重,连续5次,药物对抗组则同时腹腔注射抗氧化剂或自由基清除剂,每日观察并记录白内障的发生频率及程度,实验表明,一些抗氧化剂及自由基清除剂能够有效的对抗亚硒酸钠性白内障的发生发展,其中AC1、AC3及AC3的效果尤为明显。本文的结果为探讨白内障形成机理及防治提供了实验依据。     

Effects of Acrylamide on the Nervous Tissue Antioxidant System and Sciatic Nerve Electrophysiology in the Rat

To investigate the time-dependent effects of acrylamide (ACR) on the antioxidative status in rat nerve tissues, adult male Wistar rats were given ACR (40 mg/kg, i.p., 3 times/week) for 2, 4, 6 and 10 weeks, respectively. The time-dependent changes of the lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA) and antioxidative status (glutathione, GSH; glutathione peroxidase, GSH-Px; glutathione reductase, GR; superoxide dismutase, SOD and anti-reactive oxygen species, anti-ROS) in nerve tissues were investigated. The electrophysiology indices (nerve conduction velocity, NCV; compound action potential duration, CAPD; compound action potential amplitude, CAPA; compound action potential latency, CAPL) in the sciatic nerve were determined using BL-420E Biologic Function Determining System. The results showed that MDA levels increased significantly (P < 0.05) in nerve tissues, while GSH levels markedly decreased (P < 0.05) in a time-dependent manner. SOD activity (in the spinal cord and sciatic nerve) and GR activity (in the sciatic nerve) increased significantly after 4 weeks ACR treatment (P < 0.01), but then decreased (P < 0.05). The anti-ROS activity in the sciatic nerve was markedly decreased at the end of week 6 and 10 (P < 0.01). The above indices changed most in the sciatic nerve. The levels of GSH, MDA and anti-ROS in rat sciatic nerve were in high correlation (P < 0.05, |r| > 0.80) with the electrophysiology indices according to the exposure time. Thus, ACR-induced neurotoxicity may be associated with the enhancement of lipid peroxidation and reduction of the antioxidative capacity. Depletion of neural GSH level might be one of the primary events in ACR-induced neuropathy. Ying-Jian Zhu and Tao Zeng––These authors contributed equally to this work.     

AC1及AC3抗白内障形成中晶状体谷胱甘肽代谢相关酶活性的变化

观察了亚硒酸钠,AC1,AC3对大鼠晶状体中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px),谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)及谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GST)的影响。结果表明,亚硒酸钠组大鼠的晶状体尚未混浊前已出现GSH-Px活性增高及GR和GST的活性降低。GR活性下降随白内障进展而加重。AC1及AC3均可使亚硒酸钠所致的酶活性变化逆转,但对正常晶状体的酶活性没有影响。     

TNT在大鼠晶状体内的代谢及其对晶状体中抗氧化相关酶活性的影响

大鼠皮下注射ＴＮＴ,以ＨＰＬＣ分析其在晶状体内的代谢过程,并检测晶状体谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶及超氧化物歧化酶的活性变化。发现在注射ＴＮＴ后２ｈ即可在晶状体内检测到为量极少的ＴＮＴ及其代谢产物,第１２ｈ一氨基二硝基甲苯含量达最高峰。鼠龄较小的大鼠晶状体内ＴＮＴ及其代谢产物高于鼠龄较大的大鼠．多剂量注射ＴＮＴ时大鼠晶状体内一氨基二硝基甲苯于第２天达到高峰,ＴＮＴ于第５天达饱和状态,第１８天一氨基二硝基甲苯含量与ＴＮＴ含量相近。谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶及超氧化物歧化酶活性在注射ＴＮＴ的第２天均有不同程度的升高,在第５天和第１８天维持在低活性状态。实验表明ＴＮＴ在晶状体内是通过硝基还原而代谢的．ＴＮＴ进入晶状体后初期可诱发晶状体抗氧化相关酶活性的增高,后期则导致晶状体抗氧化相关酶活性的降低。     

AC1及AC3对白内障形成中晶状体氧化还原物质及硒含量的变化

观察了AC1和AC3对抗亚硒酸钠性白内障形成过程中晶状体的脂类过氧化作用,非蛋白质疏基水平及硒含量。结果表明,亚硒酸钠组大鼠,在晶状体混浊出现前已发生脂类过氧化作用及硒含量的明显增加,非蛋白质巯基含量的显著降低,并持续至核混浊期;而同时接受AC1或AC3的大鼠,晶状体非蛋白质巯基水平初期降低,然后逐渐恢复至正常。AC1可有效的对抗亚硒酸钠所致的脂类过氧化作用增加,而AC3的对抗效应需一定剂量及时程,两者对晶状体硒含量均无明显影响。     

Lipid Peroxidation Scavengers Prevent the Carbonylation of Cytoskeletal Brain Proteins Induced by Glutathione Depletion

In this study, we investigated the possible link between lipid peroxidation (LPO) and the formation of protein carbonyls (PCOs) during depletion of brain glutathione (GSH). To this end, rat brain slices were incubated with the GSH depletor diethyl maleate (DEM) in the absence or presence of classical LPO scavengers: trolox, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). All three scavengers reduced DEM-induced lipid oxidation and protein carbonylation, suggesting that intermediates/products of the LPO pathway such as lipid hydroperoxides, 4-hydroxynonenal and/or malondialdehyde are involved in the process. Additional in vitro experiments revealed that, among these products, lipid hydroperoxides are most likely responsible for protein oxidation. Interestingly, BHT prevented the carbonylation of cytoskeletal proteins but not that of soluble proteins, suggesting the existence of different mechanisms of PCO formation during GSH depletion. In pull-down experiments, beta-actin and alpha/beta-tubulin were identified as major carbonylation targets during GSH depletion, although other cytoskeletal proteins such as neurofilament proteins and glial fibrillary acidic protein were also carbonylated. These findings may be important in the context of neurological disorders that exhibit decreased GSH levels and increased protein carbonylation such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis.     

Enhancement of lipid peroxidation in rat liver on acute exposure to styrene and acrylamide a consequence of glutathione depletion

Lipid peroxidation, glutathione level and activity of glutathione-S-transferase were studied in liver and brain of rats 4 and 3 h after a single i.p. administration of 0, 25, 75, 100 mg/kg acrylamide or 0, 50, 100, 200, 600 mg/kg styrene, respectively. In liver both acrylamide and styrene caused an increase in lipid peroxidation and decrease in glutathione contents and activity of glutathione-S-transferase in a dose dependent manner, while in brain only acrylamide produced a decrease in glutathione content. The decrease in glutathione content was not always associated with increase of lipid peroxidation. The enhancement of lipid peroxidation occurred only when glutathione contents were depleted to certain critical levels. No effect of acrylamide or styrene was seen on lipid peroxidation under in vitro conditions. The addition of glutathione in the incubation mixture significantly inhibited the rate of lipid peroxidation of liver homogenates of acrylamide and styrene treated animals.The results suggest that enhancement of lipid peroxidation in liver on exposure to acrylamide or styrene is a consequence of depletion of glutathione to certain critical levels. The inhibition of glutathione-S-transferase activity by acrylamide and styrene suggests that detoxication of these neurotoxic compounds could be suppressed following acute exposure.
