Esketamine induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 and its mechanism / 中华内分泌外科杂志

Objective:To explore whether esketamine (ESK) can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells, and explore the mechanism.Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of ESK on the proliferation of breast cancer cells. Annexin V/PI staining was used to detect the morphological changes of cells; Apoptosis and reactive oxygen species were detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect apoptosis and pathway expression.Results:CCK-8 experiment results proved that ESK could inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells in a time-dependent manner. The survival rate of MDA-MB-468 cells treated with ESK at 20 μM was (35.47±2.61) %, which was statistically different from that treated with vinorelbine at the same concentration ( P<0.05). The IC50 value of ESK on MDA-MB-468 cells was (14.54±2.12) μM. After treatment with ESK, the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly reduced. In the protein level, the expression of Cytochrome C, Bax and Caspase-3 was up-regulated, and the expression of Bcl-2 was down regulated, which induced the mitochondrial dependent apoptosis of MDA-MB-468 cells. ESK could up regulate the level of reactive oxygen species in MDA-MB-468 cells and regulate the expression of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusions:ESK can inhibit the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells and induce them to play a mitochondrial dependent apoptosis. Its mechanism is achieved by up regulating the level of ROS in breast cancer cells, thereby regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which provides a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of Aln.

Research progress of influence mechanism of reactive oxygen species on implant osseointegration in diabetic patients / 口腔疾病防治

@#Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia, often accompanied by bone metabolic disorders, microvascular diseases, etc. At present, it is still controversial whether diabetes will reduce the survival rate of implants, but studies have shown that diabetes can damage the bone tissue around the implants and interfere with the process of osseointegration by producing excessive reactive oxygen species(ROS). In this paper, combined with the literature published worldwide in recent years, the effect and mechanism of ROS on the osteointegration of implants of diabetic patients and the measures to improve the osteointegration under the condition of diabetes are reviewed. The results of literature review showed that excessive ROS induced by diabetes can damage osseointegration through adenosine 5′-monophosphate -activated protein kinase, Wnt/catenin, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B, mitogen activated protein kinase and other signaling pathways, as well as vascular injury. In animal models of diabetes, some drugs, such as insulin, curcumin, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, and metformin, have been shown to improve the osseointegration of implants to some extent by reducing ROS levels. These results suggest that ROS may be a key therapeutic target for improving success rate of dental implant treatment in diabetic patients.

Sub-cytotoxic concentrations of ionic silver promote the proliferation of human keratinocytes by inducing the production of reactive oxygen species / 医学前沿

Silver-containing preparations are widely used in the management of skin wounds, but the effects of silver ions on skin wound healing remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of silver ions (Ag) on the proliferation of human skin keratinocytes (HaCaT) and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). After treating HaCaT cells with Ag and/or the active oxygen scavenger N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), cell proliferation and intracellular ROS generation were assessed using CCK-8 reagent and DCFH-DA fluorescent probe, respectively. In addition, 5-bromo-2-deoxyUridine (BrdU) incorporation assays, cell cycle flow cytometry, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunocytochemistry were conducted to further evaluate the effects of sub-cytotoxic Ag concentrations on HaCaT cells. The proliferation of HaCaT cells was promoted in the presence of 10 and 10 mol/L Ag at 24, 48, and 72 h. Intracellular ROS generation also significantly increased for 5-60 min after exposure to Ag. The number of BrdU-positive cells and the presence of PCNA in HaCaT cells increased 48 h after the addition of 10 and 10 mol/L Ag, with 10 mol/L Ag markedly increasing the cell proliferation index. These effects of sub-cytotoxic Ag concentrations were repressed by 5 mmol/L NAC. Our results suggest that sub-cytotoxic Ag concentrations promote the proliferation of human keratinocytes and might be associated with a moderate increase in intracellular ROS levels. This study provides important experimental evidence for developing novel silver-based wound agents or dressings with few or no cytotoxicity.

The effects of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in MC3T3-E1 cells by NADPH oxidase enzymes pathway / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective In the present study, we investigated the effects of advanced oxidation protein products(AOPP) on reactive oxygen species(ROS) production in murine osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells by NADPH oxidase enzymes pathway. Methods Experiments were divided into three groups, including control group, rats albumin(RSA) group, and AOPP group. Different concentrations of AOPP were added to the osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells culture medium. The production of ROS in MC3T3-E1 cells was measured by the fluorescence intensity of intracellular fluoroprobe ( DCFD ) . In order to verify the effect of enzyme of the production of ROS, the specific inhibitors of corresponding enzymes were added in the MC3T3-E1 cells which were cultured in the medium with AOPP. Finally, western blot and immunofluorescence were used to observe the changes of NADPH oxidase enzymes subunits. Results Different concentrations of AOPP (50,100,200μg/ml) induced MC3T3-E1 cells to produce different amount of ROS. The higher concentrations of AOPP were added, the more ROS were produced. Furthermore,200μg/ml AOPP induced the maximum amount of ROS production(P<0. 05). Meanwhile, AOPP induced MC3T3-E1 cells to produce different amount of ROS with a time-dependent manner. The peak amount of ROS production in MC3T3-E1 cells was observed in 3h when AOPP were added (P<0. 05). In addition, when specific inhibitors of corresponding enzymes were added in the MC3T3-E1 cells, the production of ROS were significantly suppressed by C-SOD, DPI, and apocynin(P<0. 05). On the other hand, AOPP can up-regulate the expression of Nox4 protein of the MC3T3-E1 cells, which is one of the subunits of NADPH oxidase enzymes. Meanwhile, AOPP can also induce the membrane migration of p47phox subunit. Conclusion AOPP induces osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells to produce ROS by NADPH oxidase enzymes pathway, and which may be one of the pathogenesis of AOPP involved in osteoporosis.

Medical Effects of Balneology of Radioactive Hot Springs / 日本温泉気候物理医学会雑誌

  Many things are unknown about the radioactive hot springs. We have not yet obtained the conclusive evidence of whether the low dose of radiation by radon in the hot springs is healthful or harmful for us. Thus, to grasp the present conditions of the radioactive hot springs scientifically, I reviewed them from the many-sided viewpoints in the following order.  At first, some basic information on the radioactive hot springs was summarized to look around them all over. Next, based on the hot spring analysis tables obtained from three representative hot spring resorts in our country, the effective ingredients such as radon, metals, and several kinds of ions presented in the spring waters were evaluated for each hot spring.  Then, radon as an element, the radon exposure, and the active oxygen species generated by the radiation of radon were explained to understand the fundamental action of radon. Furthermore, some reports related to the lung cancer risk by inhaling radon were introduced to take the cancer risk in the radioactive hot springs into consideration.  Since the oxidative DNA damage induced by hydroxyl radical is considered to be a cause for cancers, it was discussed that the urinary concentrations of 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a marker of the DNA damage, could be used as an index for evaluating the effects of the radioactive hot springs on human health.

Oxidative stress effect on viability of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in storage solution of transplantation / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:The viability of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel s is often declined with the commonly used transplantation storage solution in clinics, which may influence the therapeutic effects of cel ular transplantation. However, reasons for this are stil unknown. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of oxidative stress in the reduction of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel s viability in the storage process during clinical transplantation and to observe the effects of radical scavenger on the results. METHODS:Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel s were harvested and cultured in normal saline for 0, 2, 4 and 6 hours at room temperature. Intracel ular reactive oxygen levels were detected at those time points. Antioxidant enzyme activities and levels of malondialdehyde were measured to determine the intracel ular oxidative stress levels after storage. Cel adhesion rate changes were retested after adding N-acetyl cysteine to the storage solution. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The reactive oxygen levels in human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel s were increased significantly after normal saline storage and levels of malondialdehyde were increased in a time-dependent manner. Activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase were al reduced. Addition of N-acetyl cysteine into the storage medium decreased the reactive oxygen levels and improved the human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel s viabilities. Experimental findings indicate that, increased reactive oxygen species in human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel s is one of the reasons for reduced cel viability. Adding the radical scavenger N-acetyl cysteine can improve the storage effects of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cel s.

Medical Insight into the Hot Springs according to Comparisons of the Chemical Compositions of the Hot Springs in Tokyo 23 Wards with those of the Volcanic Hot Springs / 日本温泉気候物理医学会雑誌

  Recently, new hot springs are born in Tokyo one after another. Most of these are artificial hot springs by digging deep under the ground on the bowling, and pumping up the deep water warmed by the heat source of geothermal gradient. Maeda et al. have investigated the ingredients in these hot springs of Tokyo 23 wards, and concluded that they are medically effective to promote health. It is unclear, however, how much these hot springs are medically effective compared to the well-known volcanic hot springs.<BR>  Thus, sodium-chloride type hot springs (Tokyo-A & Atami) and sodium-hydrogen carbonate type hot springs (Tokyo-B & Naruko) were chosen, and their analytical tables of chemical compositions were obtained from each hot spring resort through the Internet. Comparisons of the ingredients shown in the analytical tables were carried out to clarify difference between the artificial hot springs and the volcanic hot springs.<BR>  Since Tokyo-A and Tokyo-B do not belong to volcanic hot springs, their source temperatures are lower than the source temperatures of Atami and Naruko, and they do not contain various pharmacologically effective chemicals, such as sulfur compounds, free carbonate, etc. Furthermore, the modulation effects by the environmental factors such as hot spring location, climate, landscape etc. cannot be expected for the hot springs in Tokyo. However, the physical effects of hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy are expected in Tokyo-A containing large amounts of seawater components.<BR>  The most important medical effects of hot springs are considered to be suppressing active oxygen species and their activities, and repairing the cells damaged by the active oxygen species. From these points, although Tokyo hot springs have some healing effects, the medical effects as observed in the volcanic hot springs cannot be expected in Tokyo hot springs. For the establishment of balneology, the evaluations of each hot spring based on scientifically accurate information are required.

Inhibitory Effect of Ougi-keisi-gomotu-to on oxidative stress / 日本東洋医学雑誌

It has been suggested that various neurological diseases (particularly those accompanying aging, the cranial nerves, etc.) involve oxidative stress. Some of these diseases have been successfully controlled with traditional herbal medicine. In the present study, Ougi-keishi-gomotsu-to, reported to be effective against subacute myelo-opticoneuropathy (SMON), showed an inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation of homogenate by hydroxy radical, a type of active oxygen derived from the interaction of Fe³⁺ and 8-hydroxyquinoline. 8-hydroxyquinoline is a homologue of chinoform, which is causally related to the pathogenic process of SMON. It has also been indicated that Ougi-keishi-gomotsu-to has a hydroxy radical scavenger with radical-quenching effects. It is, therefore concluded that Ougi-keishi-gomotsu-to has an inhibitory effect on oxidative stress.
