The water-soluble, hydroxylated fullerene [fullerol, nano-C60(OH)22-26] has several clinical applications including use as a drug carrier to bypass the blood ocular barriers. We have assessed fullerol's potential ocular toxicity by measuring its cytotoxicity and phototoxicity induced by UVA and visible light in vitro with human lens epithelial cells (HLE B-3). Accumulation of nano-C60(OH)22-26 in the cells was confirmed spectrophotometrically at 405 nm and cell viability estimated using MTS and LDH assays. Fullerol was cytotoxic to HLE B-3 cells maintained in the dark at concentrations higher than 20 microM. Exposure to either UVA or visible light in the presence of >5 microM fullerol-induced phototoxic damage. When cells were pretreated with non-toxic antioxidants: 20 microM lutein, 1 mM N-acetyl cysteine, or 1 mM l-ascorbic acid prior to irradiation, only the singlet oxygen quencher-lutein significantly protected against fullerol photodamage. Apoptosis was observed in lens cells treated with fullerol whether or not the cells were irradiated, in the order UVA>visible light>dark. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed that in the presence of the endogenous lens protein alpha-crystallin, large aggregates of fullerol were reduced. In conclusion, fullerol is both cytotoxic and phototoxic to human lens epithelial cells. Although the acute toxicity of water-soluble nano-C60(OH)22-26 is low, these compounds are retained in the body for long periods, raising concern for their chronic toxic effect. Before fullerols are used to deliver drugs to the eye, they should be tested for photo- and cytotoxicity in vivo.  相似文献

Nanotechnology has the potential for treating diseases and conditions of ageing. The eye is particularly vulnerable, because chronic pathologies can lead to sight loss. Human lens epithelial cells were exposed to 10, 20, and 100 μg/mL of negatively charged nanoceria for 48 and 72 hours; DNA damage and cell growth were assessed. Concentrations up to 100 μg/mL for 48 hours did not cause measurable genotoxic effects. For exposures of 72 hours, concentrations above 10 μg/mL showed small but statistically significant differences in DNA damage from negative controls. All treated samples were less damaged than positive controls. Cell growth, monitored for up to 7 days, did not show deviations in cell morphology or growth between treated and untreated samples. Whereas time of exposure may have greater effect than dosage, indicating potential for genotoxicity at higher exposures, human lens epithelial cells can sustain normal growth when exposed to concentrations of nanoceria of up to 100 μg/mL. From the Clinical Editor: Human lens epithelial cells were exposed to various concentrations of negatively charged nanoceria for 48 and 72 hours to assess DNA damage and cell growth. The authors demonstrate that epithelial cells can sustain normal growth when exposed to concentrations of up to 100 μg/mL, with time of exposure having a greater effect than dosage, indicating potential genotoxicity at higher exposures.  相似文献

Acrolein is a highly reactive unsaturated hazardous air pollutant of human health concern, particularly as a component of cigarette smoke. In this study, the mechanisms of acrolein-induced cytotoxicity in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBE1) and the modulating effects of antioxidants were examined. Our results show that acrolein induces a cell death pathway in human bronchial epithelial cells, which retain key features of apoptosis, as indicated by phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization and DNA fragmentation. Acrolein-induced apoptosis was associated with depletion of cellular GSH and intracellular generation of oxidants. Supplementation of cells with either alpha-tocopherol or ascorbic acid was found to strongly inhibit acrolein-induced apoptosis and to prevent the increase in the generation of intracellular oxidants, although GSH depletion was unaffected. Moreover, recovery of cellular GSH levels after acrolein exposure was enhanced following either alpha-tocopherol or ascorbic acid supplementation. The intracellular generation of oxidants following acrolein exposure seems to be an important event triggering the apoptotic response in this model system.  相似文献

Advanced glycation end products and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) have been implicated in the development of diabetic complications such as cataract. The diverse metabolic effects of protocatechualdehyde (PCA, 3, 4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde) include the inhibition of aldose reductase and oxidation, two processes that are involved in the development of complications in diabetic patients. Here, the potential therapeutic effects of PCA in the treatment of diabetic complications were studied by determining this compound's ability to inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products-bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products and TGF-beta1 in human lens epithelial cells cultured under diabetic conditions. In addition, the ability of PCA to suppress lens opacification in streptozotocin-diabetic rats was analyzed. PCA significantly reduced advanced glycation end products-BSA formation in vitro and was more effective than aminoguanidine. In human lens epithelial cells, PCA significantly inhibited the induction of receptor for advanced glycation end products protein and mRNA expression by the receptor for advanced glycation end products-specific ligand S100b. Moreover, PCA inhibited high glucose- or S100b-induced TGF-beta1 protein and mRNA expression as well as nuclear accumulation of phosphorylated Smad2/3. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic cataract in rats, oral administration of PCA (25 mg/kg body weight) for 8 weeks significantly ameliorated the development of lens opacity (cataract) with effect on glycemic control. These results suggest that PCA is of therapeutic interest with respect to the prevention of diabetic complications such as diabetic cataract.  相似文献

Chemotherapy is an important treatment modality for malignancy but is limited by significant toxicity and it susceptibility to numerous drug interactions. While the interacting effects with medications are well known, there is limited evidence on the interaction with commonly consumed food and natural products. The aim of this study was to evaluate the bioactive constituents of coffee (caffeine and chlorogenic acid) on the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel in vitro. Pretreatment with caffeine (100?nM and 10?μM) sensitized SH-SY5Y cells to doxorubicin-induced toxicity and increased apoptosis and sensitized PC3 cells to gemcitabine-induced toxicity. Pretreatment with 10?μM caffeine decreased total cell reactive oxygen species (ROS) production but increased mitochondrial ROS production. In contrast, caffeine (10?nM and 10?μM) protected cells against gemcitabine-induced toxicity and apoptosis. Similarly, 1?μM and 10?μM caffeine protected cells against paclitaxel-induced toxicity and mitochondrial ROS production. Chlorogenic acid had no effect on chemotherapy-induced toxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. In conclusion, this study provides preliminary evidence that caffeine, not chlorogenic acid, modulates the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel in SH-SY5Y cells via different mechanisms.  相似文献

The water-soluble nanoparticle hydroxylated fullerene [fullerol, nano-C60(OH)22-26] has several clinical applications including use as a drug carrier to bypass the blood ocular barriers. We have previously found that fullerol is both cytotoxic and phototoxic to human lens epithelial cells (HLE B-3) and that the endogenous antioxidant lutein blocked some of this phototoxicity. In the present study we have found that fullerol induces cytotoxic and phototoxic damage to human retinal pigment epithelial cells. Accumulation of nano-C60(OH)22-26 in the cells was confirmed spectrophotometrically at 405 nm, and cell viability, cell metabolism and membrane permeability were estimated using trypan blue, MTS and LDH assays, respectively. Fullerol was cytotoxic toward hRPE cells maintained in the dark at concentrations higher than 10 μM. Exposure to an 8.5 J·cm− 2 dose of visible light in the presence of > 5 μM fullerol induced TBARS formation and early apoptosis, indicating phototoxic damage in the form of lipid peroxidation. Pretreatment with 10 and 20 μM lutein offered some protection against fullerol photodamage. Using time resolved photophysical techniques, we have now confirmed that fullerol produces singlet oxygen with a quantum yield of Φ = 0.05 in D2O and with a range of 0.002-0.139 in various solvents. As our previous studies have shown that fullerol also produces superoxide in the presence of light, retinal phototoxic damage may occur through both type I (free radical) and type II (singlet oxygen) mechanisms. In conclusion, ocular exposure to fullerol, particularly in the presence of sunlight, may lead to retinal damage.  相似文献

To investigate the effect of sodium nitrite on the viability of the human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line, AGS, cultured AGS cells were exposed to various concentrations of sodium nitrite for 24, 48 or 72 h. The cytotoxic response was assessed using a cell proliferation assay, and the extent of the response was evaluated on the basis of intracellular and extracellular levels of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha). Both mRNA and protein levels were measured for each cytokine. Sodium nitrite had a significant effect on AGS cell proliferation after a 72-h exposure. At low sodium nitrite concentrations (up to 6.25 mM), cell proliferation increased in a dose-dependent manner; however, exposure to higher concentrations resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in cell proliferation. Sodium nitrite at a low concentration (6.25 mM) increased IL-8 release, whereas IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha release increased only after exposure to high sodium nitrite concentration (25 mM). Our data demonstrate that sodium nitrite can induce the release of these inflammatory cytokines and that high concentrations of sodium nitrite decrease AGS cell proliferation.  相似文献

Cataractous lenses have an altered distribution of the intracellular ionic environment, and the lens ionic imbalance with increased levels of calcium (Ca2+) and sodium (Na+), coupled with decreased levels of magnesium (Mg2+) and potassium (K+), is related to cataract development in human senile cataracts. We previously found that the decrease of ATP in lenses caused lens ionic imbalance, and probably decrease in ATPase function. In this study, we investigated the effect of Mg2+ deficiency on cataract progression using human lens epithelial (HLE) cells. Expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA in HLE cells were significantly greater in Mg2+-deficient medium (Mg2+ 0.021 mM) than in normal Mg2+ medium (Mg2+ 0.77 mM). The NO release from the HLE cells cultured with Mg2+-deficient medium also increased. On the other hand, the ATP levels in HLE cells 24 h after incubation with Mg2+-deficient medium were lower than that with normal Mg2+ medium. The Ca2+- and Na+/K+-ATPase activities in HLE cells until 24 h incubation with normal Mg2+ or Mg2+-deficient medium did not change. Both diethyldithiocarbamate 10 microM and aminoguanidine 250 microM attenuated the increase of NO release, and caused an increase in ATP levels in HLE cells 24 h after incubation with Mg2+-deficient medium. These results suggest that Mg2+ deficiency enhances NO production via iNOS in the lens. It is possible that the excessive production of NO cause the decrease of ATP levels. These results show that Mg2+ deficiency in the lens may cause an acceleration of the progression of lens opacification.  相似文献

Purpose: To investigate the protective effect of beta-casomorphin-7 (β-CM-7) in oxidative stressed human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) and to explore the possible mechanism for oxidative stress in HLECs induced by high glucose.

Methods: We used HLECs to determine the effect of different concentrations of β-CM-7 on cell viability by 3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolimol/L bromide (MTT) assay. We used flow cytometry to determine the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by oxidative stress and a bioassay kit to determine the oxidant malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels. We used Western blotting and an immunofluorescence assay to determine the expression of Forkhead box o1 (Foxo1), SP1, and the related protein glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) at the molecular biology level as well as their intracellular localization.

Results: The expression of Foxo1 and SP1 was weakly expressed when the glucose concentration was 40?mM/L, but was highly expressed when cells were pre-treated with an appropriate concentration of β-CM-7. After pre-treatment with β-CM-7, the cells treated with 40?mM/L glucose for 48?h showed Foxo1 was transferred to the nucleus, and the expression of SP1 was increased. The content of ROS and MDA in the HLECs that were pre-treated with β-CM-7 was lower than in those that was not pre-treated (p?<0.05). Accordingly, SOD was elevated in the cells pre-treated with β-CM-7. The relative expression of GSH-px increased with increases of Foxo1 and SP1.

Conclusion: β-CM-7 protects HLECs from oxidative damage by upregulating the relative expression of Foxo1 and promoting Foxo1 nuclear translocation.  相似文献
