Induced Apoptosis

Ochratoxin A (OTA), one of the major food-borne mycotoxins, impacts the health of humans and livestock by contaminating food and feed. However, the underlying mechanism of OTA nephrotoxicity remains unknown. This study demonstrated that OTA induced apoptosis through selective endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activation in human renal proximal tubular cells (HK-2). OTA increased ER-stress-related JNK and precursor caspase-4 cleavage apoptotic pathways. Further study revealed that OTA increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) could reduce OTA-induced JNK-related apoptosis and ROS levels in HK-2 cells. Our results demonstrate that OTA induced ER stress-related apoptosis through an ROS-mediated pathway. This study provides new evidence to clarify the mechanism of OTA-induced nephrotoxicity.

Infarct Size Reduction

Introduction. Increased resistance of the heart to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is an urgent aim of physiology, pharmacology, and cardiac surgery, since I/R injury of the heart is often the cause of cardiogenic shock and subsequent death of patients in the postoperative period. Materials and methods. The study was carried out in male rats which were subjected to coronary artery occlusion (45 min) and reperfusion (2 h). Before coronary occlusion, early hypoxic preconditioning (HP) was modeled. The rats were subjected to six sessions of hypoxia (8 % O2, 10 min) and reoxygenation (21 % O2, 10 min) 30 min before coronary artery occlusion. The rats were injected with the following drugs: 1,3-dimethylthiourea (DMTM), 2-mercaptopropionyl glycine (2-MPG), deferoxamine. Results. It was found that HP contributes to infarct size reduction by 30 %. Preliminary administration of DMTM, 2-MPG, deferoxamine eliminated the infarct-reducing effect of HP. Conclisuon. The obtained data indicate that reactive oxygen species are involved in the cardioprotective effect of HP.
