e22002 Background: Comparative analysis of oxidative modification of proteins of blood plasma level in patients with ovarian cancer in a state of remission and during the formation of tumor relapse with various intensity of bloodstream in it. Methods: The research includes 61 patients with ovarian cancer, from whom 11 women were in a state of remission, and 50 had local relapse in the cavity of the lesser pelvis. With the help of ultra-sonic scanner we evaluated the intensity of vascularization and the speed of bloodstream in relapsing tumors. We also studied the level of blood plasma spontaneous metal catalyzed oxidative modification of proteins (OMP), spectrophotometrically registering 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazines. Results: In remission there was noted the increase of OMP products level by 74.4% under 530 nm (p<0.05) in blood plasma as compared with the its level in healthy women. During the progress of avascular relapse there was noted the increase of OMP products level by 63.3% under 370 nm (p<0.001) and decrease of OMP products level by 32.2% under 530 nm as compared with the level in remission. In the group with hyper intensive bloodstream in relapse tumor the level of OMP products increased by 37.4% under 370nm (p<0.05) and the level of products decreased by 24% under 530 nm as compared with the group with avascular relapse. In case with metal catalyzed OMP the low level of OMP products under 370 nm (by 18-28% lower than the level of OMP of healthy women, p<0.01), the high level of OMP products under 530 nm (by 24-47% higher than the level of OMP of healthy women, p<0.01) remained, and the level of OMP under 430 nm was increasing as compared with healthy women. Conclusions: The increase of OMP products of neutral character registered under 370 nm, and the decrease of the products of the basic character registered under 530 nm take place during the progress of cancerous process and intensification of the bloodstream in a tumor. The dynamics metal catalyzed OMP products shows the heightened formation of the products of the basic character (430 and 530 nm), being the markers of proteins fragmentation.

We studied the content of the SH-groups in plasma of peripheral blood of sheep, which during 90 days received the nitrate of lead in the diet at concentrations of 5 (1 MRL), 25 (5 MRL) and 150 mg/kg of feed (30 MRL). It is shown that chronic intake of lead in the organism of the sheep leads to a decrease in content of SH-groups in peripheral blood plasma. The most pronounced changes were noted when the concentration of lead in the diet was 25 mg/kg (5 MRL) and 150 mg/kg feed (30 MRL). It is supposed that with increasing of concentration of lead in the organs and tissues of mammals are initiated the processes of formation of reactive oxygen species that lead to oxidative modification of proteins and lipids.

The course of Alzheimer’s disease is associated with an increase in oxidative stress associated with an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species against the background of neurodegenerative inflammation, and a simultaneous depletion of the antioxidant defense capabilities of brain cells. The result is the oxidative modification of macromolecules: proteins, lipids, nucleic acids. Protein carbonylation products accumulate not only in neurons, and in direct correlation with the degree of increase in amyloidosis and neurodegeneration, but also in extra-neuronal tissues, including leukocytes. In the course of this study, the levels of spontaneous and induced oxidative modification of proteins were determined in the blood plasma and fractionated leukocytes of peripheral blood of patients with different durations of Alzheimer’s disease, and the value of the reserve-adaptive potential was assessed as markers of the severity of oxidative stress. It has been established that the course of Alzheimer’s disease has a greater effect on the accumulation of carbonyl derivatives in blood plasma. In patients with a disease duration of 5–10 years, the total level of aldehyde and ketone derivatives of modified plasma proteins exceeds the same indicator in subgroups with a shorter duration of the disease. This tendency is less typical for mononuclear leukocytes. The level of induced oxidative modification of proteins increases to a greater extent in blood plasma than in fractionated leukocytes. This indicates the depletion of the reserve-adaptive potential of plasma antioxidant capabilities, which is more pronounced in patients with a long course of Alzheimer’s disease. For polymorphonuclear leukocytes, such a pattern was not revealed, which is probably associated with a short cell life. In mononuclear leukocytes, as well as in plasma, there is a tendency to depletion of the reserve-adaptive potential, but to a lesser extent.

Background. The oxidative modification of proteins is lately pivotal to pathologists and it is a new way of research on different pathological conditions, as well as the diagnostics of inflammation processes in placenta.Objective. The study was aimed at the research of nitro peroxides and establishing the specific features of oxidative modification of proteins in inflammation of placenta with iron deficient anaemia in the pregnant.Methods. Сhemiluminescent and histochemical technique (with bromphenol blue on ‘acidic’ and ‘basic’ proteins according to Mikel Calvo) was applied.Results. The intensity of nitro peroxides glow in chorioamnionitis and basal deciduitis increased in comparison with the samples of physiological and iron deficient anaemia gestation. At the same time in chorioamnionitis the glow intensity is higher than in basal deciduitis.Due to the results of immune histochemical technique held while analysing the samples, together with chorioamnionitis and basal deciduitis the R/B increases and in basal deciduitis the rate, is probably, higher, than in chorioamnionitis. At the same time, the extent of oxidative modification of proteins in cases of inflammation with iron deficient anaemia in the pregnant is on the average higher than with no iron deficient anaemia in the pregnant.Conclusions. High level of nitro peroxides in placentae basal plate in secundines inflammation, the increase in R/B rate, in other words the prevalence of ‘acidic’ proteins over ‘basic’ ones, is evidenced due to the increase of the intensity of oxidative modification processes of proteins in cases of deciduitis.

The content of products of lipoperoxidation and oxidative modification of proteins in rat blood plasma under the action of quercetin and histamine was investigated. Quercetin was used at concentrations of 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 1; 3; 5 mm, and histoma - 0.01; 0.1; 1; 10 μm. It was found that quercetin in the blood plasma of rats causes a slight increase in the content of hydroperoxides and TBA-positive products, except the concentration of 0.5 mm, at which the content of secondary products is reduced and the content of primary remains within the control. Histamine at concentrations of 0.01; 0.1; 1; 10 µM leads to an increase in the content of hydroperoxides and a decrease in the number of TBK-positive products. The combined effect of histamine and quercetin causes a significant increase in primary lipoperoxidation products, whereas TBK-positive lipid peroxidation products decrease. Quercetin in the concentration range of 0.1÷1 mM intensifies the accumulation of carbonyl groups of proteins of basic and neutral nature, while flavonoid at concentrations of 3.5 mM – slows down. Histamine at all tested concentrations leads to an increase in the content of carbonyl groups of proteins, except the concentration of 0.1 μm. Against the background of high concentration histamine, quercetin reduces the intensity of oxidative modification of proteins. The simultaneous action of low concentration histamine and quercetin at a concentration of 0.5 and 5 mm leads to the accumulation of carbonyl groups of proteins of a neutral nature, as well as to the main only when exposed to quercetin at a concentration of 5 mm. According to the analysis of variance, it was found that quercetin has a maximum effect on the accumulation of TBA-positive products and carbonyl groups of proteins of basic character. Histamine is strongly influenced by the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides. Quercetin at concentrations of 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 1; 3 mm determines between the indices of free radical processes under study, in the blood plasma of rats, a strong interconnectedness, and a bioflavonoid at a concentration of 5 mm leads to the formation of interconnections of average strength. Histamine at concentrations of 10; 1; 0.1 µM causes a close correlation of the mean strength between the individual indices of free radical oxidation. Histamine at a concentration of 0.01 μm causes a significant increase in the correlation between the parameters of sex and oxidative modification of proteins. The combined effect of quercetin at a concentration of 0.1 mm and histamine at a concentration of 0.01 μm causes a change in the nature of the correlation dependence, which becomes strong between most of the studied parameters.

Reactive oxygen species are involved in the aging process and diseases. Despite the important role of Cu/Zn SOD (superoxide dismutase) encoded by SOD1, SOD1−/− mice appear to grow normally under conventional breeding conditions. In the present paper we report on a novel finding showing a distinct connection between oxidative stress in erythrocytes and the production of autoantibodies against erythrocytes in SOD1−/− mice. Evidence is presented to show that SOD1 is primarily required for maintaining erythrocyte lifespan by suppressing oxidative stress. A SOD1 deficiency led to an increased erythrocyte vulnerability by the oxidative modification of proteins and lipids, resulting in anaemia and compensatory activation of erythropoiesis. The continuous destruction of oxidized erythrocytes appears to induce the formation of autoantibodies against certain erythrocyte components, e.g. carbonic anhydrase II, and the immune complex is deposited in the glomeruli. The administration of an antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine, suppressed erythrocyte oxidation, ameliorated the anaemia, and inhibited the production of autoantibodies. These data imply that a high level of oxidative stress in erythrocytes increases the production of autoantibodies, possibly leading to an autoimmune response, and that the intake of antioxidants would prevent certain autoimmune responses by maintaining an appropriate redox balance in erythrocytes.

AbstractOur interest has focused on the investigation of the anti-obese potential of kidney beans (P. vulgaris) pods extract. In the course of the study, obesity development in rats was induced with high-calorie diet. Control and obese rats then have consumed with aqueous kidney beans (P. vulgaris) pods extract during 6 weeks (200 mg/kg). Results show that the long-term consumption of P. vulgaris pods extract can lead to the reduction of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance development. Furthermore, we saw a normalization of lipid peroxidation parameters and oxidative modification of protein due to the consumption of the kidney beans (P. vulgaris) pods extract. Our experimental data demonstrate the ability of the kidney beans (P. vulgaris) pod extracts to mitigate obesity development but the details of this mechanism remains to be not fully understood.

The results of the study about the nature of oxygen-dependent processes in rats that were on a high-fructose diet for 8 weeks under conditions of adequate iodine supply and congenital iodine deprivation is presented in the article. The significant activation of peroxide oxidation of proteins (by increasing the aldo- and keto-derivates of a neutral nature) and lipids (increased of diene conjugates content and products, that are responsible to thiobarbituric acid) of animals with insulin resistance was found. An aggravating factor in the course of these processes is a congenital iodine deficiency. The changes of oxidative modification of proteins in animals with congenital iodine deficiency had multidirectional character, and processes of lipid peroxidation mainly increased. The most pronounced changes of the studied processes were observed in the liver and pancreas of animals with insulin resistance against the background of congenital iodine deficiency.
