H_2O_2参与离体蒜苔细胞内含物再分配的调控(英文)

植物生长发育过程中经常发生新老器官更替和细胞内含物的再分配、再利用。Lepold提出新生器官向衰老器官传递某种信息 ,动员后者细胞内含物向前者再分配。但是该信息的化学本质迄今仍不清楚。大蒜 (Alliumsativum)的离体蒜苔是研究细胞内含物再分配的良好材料。细胞内含物大量从苔茎向珠蒜中再分配 ,结果珠蒜显著膨大而苔茎衰老死亡。蔡可等发现赤霉素 (GA3)处理可有效抑制细胞内含物再分配。我们此前的研究发现GA3处理苔茎基部可显著改变珠蒜和苔茎H2 O2 代谢。本研究中我们分别用GA3和 3-氨基 - 1 ,2 ,4-三唑 (AT)H2 O2 清除酶catalase的专一性抑制剂处理珠蒜 ,结果发现GA3和AT均可有效抑制离体蒜苔细胞内含物再分配 (Fig .1 )。根据浓度不同 ,H2 O2 可以诱导细胞产生保护性反应或凋亡。细胞内含物再分配过程中 ,珠蒜H2 O2 浓度显著下降后保持于低水平 ,相反苔茎H2 O2 浓度极显著升高 1 0倍以上 ,而且细胞内含物转移早的苔茎下部H2 O2 峰值出现也早 (Fig .2 )。GA3或AT处理珠蒜 ,珠蒜H2 O2 浓度显著提高而苔茎H2 O2 浓度保持稳定的低水平或峰值显著推迟 (Fig .2 )。可见苔茎高浓度的H2 O2 诱导了苔茎细胞凋亡并把细胞内含物转移给珠蒜。已知约 2 %的呼吸耗氧生成H2 O2 。珠蒜呼吸速率显著高于苔茎 (王     

H_2O_2通过钙稳态失调诱导小鼠胚胎肝细胞凋亡

该文研究了体外培养肝细胞内钙离子浓度改变对细胞存活率、凋亡和增殖的影响。建立了H2O2诱导小鼠胚胎肝细胞损伤模型,CCK-8检测细胞存活率,Fura-2/AM负载检测细胞内[Ca2+]i;免疫荧光和Western blot分别检测STIM1和Orai1在细胞内的定位和含量;流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡;Brdu掺入检测细胞增殖。结果显示,H2O2刺激后细胞存活率降低为对照组的73%,凋亡细胞比例增加,增殖细胞数目显著减少,细胞内[Ca2+]i升高,STIM1和Orai1蛋白质水平增加,且STIM1可与Orai1蛋白质共定位。2-APB预处理组可以降低细胞内[Ca2+]i,减少STIM1和Orai1蛋白质表达水平,抑制STIM1和Orai1蛋白质的相互作用。结果表明,H2O2可通过影响细胞内钙离子稳态导致细胞凋亡。     

H2O2参与离体蒜苔细胞内含物再分配的调控

植物生长发育过程中经常发生新老器官更替和细胞内分物的再分配，再利用。Lepold提出新生器官向衰老器官传递某种信息，动员后者细胞内含物向前者再分配。但是该信息的化学本质迄今仍不清楚。大蒜（Allium sativum)的离体蒜苔是研究细胞内分物再分配的良好材料，细胞内含物大量从苔茎向珠蒜中再分配。结果珠蒜显著膨大而苔茎衰老死亡。蔡可等发现赤霉素（GA3）处理可有效抑制细胞内含物再分配。我们此前的研究发现GA3处理苔茎基部可显著改变珠蒜和苔茎H2O2代谢。本研究中我们分别用GA3和3－氨基－1，2，4－三唑（AT）H2O2清除酶catalase的专一性抑制剂处理珠蒜，结果发现GA3和AT均可有效抑制离体蒜苔细胞内含物再分配（Fig.1)。根浓度不同，H2O2可以诱导细胞产生保护性反应或凋亡，细胞内含物再分配过程中珠蒜H2O2浓度显著下降后保持于低水平，相反苔茎H2O2浓度极显著升高10倍以上，而且细胞内含物转移早的苔茎下部H2O2峰值出现也早（Fig.2)。GA3或AT处理珠蒜，珠蒜H2O2浓度显著提高而苔茎H2O2浓度保持稳定的低水平或峰值显著推迟（Fig.2)，可见苔茎高浓度的H2O诱导了苔茎细胞凋亡并把细胞内含物转移给珠蒜。已知经2％的呼吸耗氧生成H2O2。珠蒜呼吸速率显著高于苔茎（王文宏等）表明珠蒜H2O2生成速率大于苔茎。珠蒜H2O2清除酶peroxidase和catalase活性逐步下降，与苔茎相反（Fig3,4)，可见珠蒜H2O2浓度应该显著高于苔茎，但事实上珠蒜H2O2水平显著低于苔茎，已知H2O2具有寿命长，易扩散和运输的特点，可见苔茎中积累的H2O2应该主要来自珠蒜。GA3和AT处理对珠蒜和苔茎中H2O2代谢的作用进一步表明，H2O2可能参与离体蒜苔细胞内含物再分配的调控。

Are mitochondria a permanent source of reactive oxygen species?

The observation that in isolated mitochondria electrons may leak out of the respiratory chain to form superoxide radicals (O(2)(radical-)) has prompted the assumption that O(2)(radical-) formation is a compulsory by-product of respiration. Since mitochondrial O(2)(radical-) formation under homeostatic conditions could not be demonstrated in situ so far, conclusions drawn from isolated mitochondria must be considered with precaution. The present study reveals a link between electron deviation from the respiratory chain to oxygen and the coupling state in the presence of antimycin A. Another important factor is the analytical system applied for the detection of activated oxygen species. Due to the presence of superoxide dismutase in mitochondria, O(2)(radical-) release cannot be realistically determined in intact mitochondria. We therefore followed the release of the stable dismutation product H(2)O(2) by comparing most frequently used H(2)O(2) detection methods. The possible interaction of the detection systems with the respiratory chain was avoided by a recently developed method, which was compared with conventional methods. Irrespective of the methods applied, the substrates used for respiration and the state of respiration established, intact mitochondria could not be made to release H(2)O(2) from dismutating O(2)(radical-). Although regular mitochondrial respiration is unlikely to supply single electrons for O(2)(radical-) formation our study does not exclude the possibility of the respiratory chain becoming a radical source under certain conditions.     

H(2)O(2) detection from intact mitochondria as a measure for one-electron reduction of dioxygen requires a non-invasive assay system.

Evaluation of the existence of superoxide radicals (O*-(2)), the site of generation and conditions required for one-e(-) transfer to oxygen from biological redox systems is a prerequisite for the understanding of the deregulation of O(2) homeostasis leading to oxidative stress. Mitochondria are increasingly considered the major O*-(2) source in a great variety of diseases and the aging process. Contradictory reports on mitochondrial O*-(2) release prompted us to critically investigate frequently used O*-(2) detection methods for their suitability. Due to the impermeability of the external mitochondrial membrane for most constituents of O*-(2) detection systems we decided to follow the stable dismutation product H(2)O(2). This metabolite was earlier shown to readily permeate into the cytosol. With the exception of tetramethylbenzidine none of the chemical reactants indicating the presence of H(2)O(2) by horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed absorbance change were suited due to solubility problems or low extinction coefficients. Tetramethylbenzidine-dependent H(2)O(2) detection was counteracted by rereduction of the dye through e(-) carriers of the respiratory chain. Although the fluorescent dyes scopoletin and homovanillic acid were found to be suited for the detection of mitochondrial H(2)O(2) release, fluorescence change was strongly affected by mitochondrial protein constituents. The present study has resolved this problem by separating the detection system from H(2)O(2)-producing mitochondria.     

Comparison of the BAX for Screening/E. coli O157:H7 Method with Conventional Methods for Detection of Extremely Low Levels of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Ground Beef

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important food-borne pathogen. Often E. coli O157:H7 is difficult to detect, because it is present sporadically at very low levels together with very high levels of competitor organisms which can be difficult to distinguish phenotypically. Cultural methods are time-consuming and give variable results in the detection of E. coli O157:H7. This study examined the performance of BAX for Screening/E. coli O157:H7, a new rapid method for the detection of E. coli O157:H7, against traditional and improved cultural methods and an immunodiffusion assay. All cultural methods demonstrated inadequacy in detecting the presence of E. coli O157:H7 in inoculated samples. The limitations of these cultural methods further complicate evaluation of screening methodologies. The BAX for Screening/E. coli O157:H7 assay outperformed the other methods, with a detection rate of 96.5%, compared to 39% for the best cultural method and 71.5% for the immunodiffusion method. The BAX for Screening/E. coli O157:H7 assay proved to be a rapid, highly sensitive test for the detection of low levels of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef.     

Comparison of enzyme-linked immunomagnetic chemiluminescence with U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Bacteriological Analytical Manual method for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7

Escherichia coli O157:H7, a major foodborne pathogen, has been associated with numerous cases of foodborne illnesses. Rapid methods have been developed for the screening of this pathogen in foods in order to circumvent timely plate culture techniques. Unfortunately, many rapid methods are presumptive and do not claim to confirm the presence of E. coli O157:H7. The previously developed method, enzyme-linked immunomagnetic chemiluminescence (ELIMCL), has been improved upon to allow for fewer incidences of false positives when used to detect E. coli O157:H7 in the presence of mixed cultures. The key feature of this assay is that it combines the highly selective synergism of both anti-O157 and anti-H7 antibodies in the sandwich immunoassay format. This work presents application of a newly semi-automated version of ELIMCL to the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in pristine buffered saline yielding detection limits of approximately 1 x 10(5) to 1 x 10(6) of live cells/mL. ELIMCL was further demonstrated to detect E. coli O157:H7 inoculated into artificially contaminated ground beef at ca. 400 CFU/g after a 5 h enrichment and about 1.5 h assay time for a total detection time of about 6.5 h. Finally, ELIMCL was compared with USFDA's Bacteriological Analytical Manual method for E. coli O157:H7 in a double-blind study. Using McNemar's treatment, the two methods were determined to be statistically similar for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef inoculated with mixed cultures of select bacteria.     

Hydrogen peroxide formation during iron deposition in horse spleen ferritin using O2 as an oxidant

The reaction of Fe2+ with O2 in the presence of horse spleen ferritin (HoSF) results in deposition of FeOH3 into the hollow interior of HoSF. This reaction was examined at low Fe2+/HoSF ratios (5-100) under saturating air at pH 6.5-8.0 to determine if H2O2 is a product of the iron deposition reaction. Three methods specific for H2O2 detection were used to assess H2O2 formation: (1) a fluorometric method with emission at 590 nm, (2) an optical absorbance method based on the reaction H2O2 + 3I- + 2H+ = I3- + 2H2O monitored at 340 nm for I3- formation, and (3) a differential pulsed electrochemical method that measures O2 and H2O2 concentrations simultaneously. Detection limits of 0.25, 2.5, and 5.0 microM H2O2 were determined for the three methods, respectively. Under constant air-saturation conditions (20% O2) and for a 5-100 Fe2+/HoSF ratio, Fe2+ was oxidized and the resulting Fe3+ was deposited within HoSF but no H2O2 was detected as predicted by the reaction 2Fe2+ + O2 + 6H2O = 2Fe(OH)3 + H2O2 + 4H+. Two other sets of conditions were also examined: one with excess but nonsaturating O2 and another with limiting O2. No H2O2 was detected in either case. The absence of H2O2 formation under these same conditions was confirmed by microcoulometric measurements. Taken together, the results show that under low iron loading conditions (5-100 Fe2+/HoSF ratio), H2O2 is not produced during iron deposition into HoSF using O2 as an oxidant. This conclusion is inconsistent with previous, carefully conducted stoichiometric and kinetic measurements [Xu, B., and Chasteen, N. D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 19965], predicting that H2O2 is a quantitative product of the iron deposition reaction with O2 as an oxidant, even though it was not directly detected. Possible explanations for these conflicting results are considered.     

Production and utilization of hydrogen peroxide associated with melanogenesis and tyrosinase-mediated oxidations of DOPA and dopamine

The synthesis and involvement of H(2)O(2) during the early stages of melanogenesis involving the oxidations of DOPA and dopamine (diphenolase activity) were established by two sensitive and specific electrochemical detection systems. Catalase-treated reaction mixtures showed diminished rates of H(2)O(2) production during the autoxidation and tyrosinase-mediated oxidation of both diphenols. Inhibition studies with the radical scavenger resveratrol revealed the involvement in these reactions of additional reactive intermediate of oxygen (ROI), one of which appears to be superoxide anion. There was no evidence to suggest that H(2)O(2) or any other ROI was produced during the tyrosinase-mediated conversion of tyrosine to DOPA (monophenolase activity). Establishing by electrochemical methods the endogenous production H(2)O(2) in real time confirms recent reports, based in large part on the use of exogenous H(2)O(2), that tyrosinase can manifest both catalase and peroxidase activities. The detection of ROI in tyrosinase-mediated in vitro reactions provides evidence for sequential univalent reductions of O(2), most likely occurring at the enzyme active site copper. Collectively, these observations focus attention on the possible involvement of peroxidase-H(2)O(2) systems and related ROI-mediated reactions in promoting melanocytotoxic and melanoprotective processes.     

EVALUATION OF 5'NUCLEASE BASED DETECTION ASSAYS TO DETECT ESCHERICHIA COLI O157:H7 FROM FOOD PRODUCTS

Two 5'nuclease-based PCR methods (PCR-LS-50B and PCR-7200) were evaluated to determine their sensitivity for detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 from pure cultures and in food samples enriched in different media and after different incubation periods. The PCR-7200 method was able to detect E. coli O157:H7 at ± 10² CFU/mL in pure culture in both mECB and EEB. In spiked meat samples, the PCR-7200 procedure was capable of detecting the eaeA gene at lower concentrations than the PCR-LS-50B procedure, regardless of the meat type or enrichment medium. Escherichia coli O157:H7 spiked at 0.3 CFU/mL was detectable after 9 h in EEB, but it was not detected in mECB within 24 h. An enrichment time of 4 h in mECB was needed to detect E. coli O157:H7 when spiked at higher levels (41 CFU/mL). The detection levels reported in this study are similar with other reported PCR-based detection techniques for E. coli O157:H7, however, the 5'nuclease-based assays are less labor intensive and capable of higher sample throughput because of their automated detection and analysis steps.     

Rapid electrochemical detection of polyaniline-labeled Escherichia coli O157:H7

There is a high demand for rapid, sensitive, and field-ready detection methods for Escherichia coli O157:H7, a highly infectious and potentially fatal food and water borne pathogen. In this study, E. coli O157:H7 cells are isolated via immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and labeled with biofunctionalized electroactive polyaniline (immuno-PANI). Labeled cell complexes are deposited onto a disposable screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) sensor and pulled to the electrode surface by an external magnetic field, to amplify the electrochemical signal generated by the polyaniline. Cyclic voltammetry is used to detect polyaniline and signal magnitude indicates the presence or absence of E. coli O157:H7. As few as 7CFU of E. coli O157:H7 (corresponding to an original concentration of 70 CFU/ml) were successfully detected on the SPCE sensor. The assay requires 70 min from sampling to detection, giving it a major advantage over standard culture methods in applications requiring high-throughput screening of samples and rapid results. The method can be performed with portable, handheld instrumentation and no biological modification of the sensor surface is required. Potential applications include field-based pathogen detection for food and water safety, environmental monitoring, healthcare, and biodefense.     

Comparison of a membrane surface adhesion recovery method with an IMS method for use in a polymerase chain reaction method to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 in minced beef

In this study, enrichment procedures and two recovery methods, a membrane surface adhesion technique and an immunomagnetic separation (IMS), were compared for use in conjunction with a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method with a view to describing a fast (24 h) and economical test for detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in meat samples. The study showed no significant difference between three different enrichment media (BHI, E. coli (E.C.) broth+novobiocin, modified tryptone soya broth (mTSB)+novobiocin) or two incubation temperatures (37 or 41.5 degrees C) for growth of E. coli O157:H7 in minced beef. Minced beef samples inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 at 40 cfu g(-1) were incubated at 37 degrees C for 16 h in E.C. broth+novobiocin reaching numbers of (log(10)7.82-8.70). E. coli O157:H7 were recovered by attachment to polycarbonate membranes immersed in the enriched cultures for 15 min or by immunomagnetic separation. Subsequent treatment of recovered membranes or IMS beads with lysis buffer and phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol was used to extract the DNA from the extracted E. coli O157:H7 cells. The results show when E. coli O157:H7 was present at high levels in the enriched meat sample (log(10)9.6-7.5 cfu ml(-1); >16-h enrichment), the membrane and IMS techniques recovered similar levels of the pathogen and the microorganism was detectable by PCR using both methods. At lower levels of E. coli O157:H7 (log(10)6.4), only the IMS method could recover the pathogen but at levels below this neither method could recover sufficient numbers of the pathogens to allow detection. The conclusion of the study is that with sufficient enrichment time (16 h) the membrane surface adhesion membrane extraction method used in combination with multiplex PCR has the potential for a rapid and economical detection method.
