In the framework of the study, the degree of defragmentation of DNA by the DNA-comet method is evaluated when exposed to the cell culture of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and an in vitro model is developed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of new pharmacological agents. The results of working with cell lines show that the percentage of damage to the genetic material of cells of intact samples does not greatly vary from the method of removing the cellular monolayer from the culture plastic. Concerning the effect of H2O2 as an inducer of oxidative stress on DNA cell damage, the optimal level of DNA defragmentation has been modeled for subsequent studies of the protective action of antioxidants.

ABSTRACT Background Selenium (Se) participates in different functions in humans and other animals through its incorporation into selenoproteins as selenocysteine. Inadequate dietary Se is considered a risk factor for several chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress. Objective The role of 2-hydroxy-(4-methylseleno)butanoic acid (HMSeBA), an organic form of Se used in animal nutrition, in supporting selenoprotein synthesis and protecting against oxidative stress was investigated in an in vitro model of intestinal Caco-2 cells. Methods Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and thioredoxin reductase (TXNRD) activities, selenoprotein P1 protein (SELENOP) and gene (SELENOP) expression, and GPX1 and GPX2 gene expression were studied in Se-deprived (FBS removal) and further HMSeBA-supplemented (0.1–625 μM, 72 h) cultures. The effect of HMSeBA supplementation (12.5 and 625 μM, 24 h) on oxidative stress induced by H2O2 (1 mM) was evaluated by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) adducts, and protein carbonyl residues compared with a sodium selenite control (SS, 5 μM). Results Se deprivation induced a reduction (P < 0.05) in GPX activity (62%), GPX1 expression, and both SELENOP (33%) and SELENOP expression. In contrast, an increase (P < 0.05) in GPX2 expression and no effect in TXNRD activity (P = 0.09) were observed. HMSeBA supplementation increased (P < 0.05) GPX activity (12.5–625 μM, 1.68–1.82-fold) and SELENOP protein expression (250 and 625 μM, 1.87- and 2.04-fold). Moreover, HMSeBA supplementation increased (P < 0.05) GPX1 (12.5 and 625 μM), GPX2 (625 μM), and SELENOP (12.5 and 625 μM) expression. HMSeBA (625 μM) was capable of decreasing (P < 0.05) ROS (32%), 4-HNE adduct (49%), and protein carbonyl residue (75%) production after H2O2 treatment. Conclusion Caco-2 cells can use HMSeBA as an Se source for selenoprotein synthesis, resulting in protection against oxidative stress.

In vivo, gamete maturation, fertilisation and early embryonic development take place inside the oviduct. Several studies have indicated that local responses towards gametes and embryos are generated by the maternal reproductive tract. However, no defined in vitro model currently exists to allow detailed and systematic investigation of maternal communications with gametes and embryos. Therefore, we characterised an in vitro model based on the interaction of boar spermatozoa with an immortalised porcine oviduct epithelial cell line to evaluate different factors that may affect this model. The factors tested were sperm viability, source of spermatozoa, cell passage effect and the effect of reproductive and non-reproductive epithelial cells in the interaction with spermatozoa. After 24 h of co-incubation, RNA was extracted and used to synthesise cDNA for quantitative real-time PCR. Alteration in the expression of genes such as adrenomedullin, heat-shock 70-kDa protein 8 and prostaglandin E synthase was considered as the end point of this assay. The results showed that sperm viability and cell passage number had an effect on oviductal gene expression in response to spermatozoa. Oviductal cells showed significant alterations in gene expression when compared with non-reproductive epithelial cells. The simple in vitro system described here has potential application for further studies in our understanding of mechanisms involved in maternal interactions with spermatozoa.
