SUMMARY Objectives: The tooth/restoration interface may act as a pathway for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) diffusion into the pulp chamber. Therefore, the influence of resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) and resin composite simulated restorations on the cytotoxicity of an in-office bleaching gel was assessed in vitro. Materials and Methods: Cavities in enamel/dentin discs restored with RMGIC Vitremer (3M ESPE) or Single Bond/Filtek Z350 (3M ESPE) resin composite (RC) were subjected or not subjected to hydrolytic degradation (HD). A 35%-H2O2 bleaching gel was applied to simulated restored and nonrestored enamel surfaces, and culture medium in contact with the dentin substrate (extract) was collected and applied to MDPC-23 cells. Nonrestored discs subjected or not subjected to bleaching were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Cell viability, oxidative stress, interleukin (IL)-1β expression, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and mineralized nodule deposition were evaluated. The H2O2 in the extracts was quantified. Data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: Higher oxidative stress associated with reduced cell viability, ALP activity, and mineralized nodule deposition was observed for all bleached groups compared with the negative control group. The RMGIC/HD group, which presented the highest H2O2 diffusion, had the lowest values of cell viability, ALP activity, and mineralized nodule deposition, as well as significantly increased IL-1β expression. Conclusions: Dental cavities restored with the RMGIC subjected to hydrolytic degradation allowed for more intense diffusion of H2O2 into the pulp chamber, intensifying the toxicity of a 35%-H2O2 bleaching gel to pulp cells.

Background. Recent studies have shown that oxytocin plays a vital role in neurons and glial cells. However, its effect on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress as well as cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 in glial cells are still unclear. Objective. This study aims to examine the effect of oxytocin on glial cell viability, oxidative stress, COX-1, and COX-2 in C6 glial cells after exposure to H2O2. Methods. In this study, C6 glioma cell line was used to study the effect of oxytocin on the glial cell in four cell groups. The control group was untreated. Cells in the H2O2 group were treated with 0.5 mM H2O2 for 24 h. Cells in the oxytocin group were treated with various concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 μg/mL) of oxytocin for 24 h. Cells in the oxytocin+H2O2 group were pre-treated with various concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 μg/mL) of oxytocin for 1 h before 24-h exposure to 0.5 mM H2O2. Cell viability was evaluated using XTT assay. Total antioxidant status and total oxidant status (TOS), COX-1, and COX-2 levels in the cells were measured by commercial kits. Results. Oxytocin with various concentrations significantly decreased the viability of C6 cells after H2O2-induced oxidative stress (P < 0.01). It also significantly increased the levels of TOS, COX-1, and COX-2 in C6 cells after H2O2-induced oxidative stress (P < 0.001). Conclusion. Oxytocin increases glial cell death after H2O2-induced oxidative damage in C6 cells, along with upregulation of COX-1 and COX-2 levels.

Background: Different cellular responses influence the progress of cancer. In this study, we have investigated the effect of hydrogen peroxide and quercetin induced changes on cell viability, apoptosis and oxidative stress in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. Methods: The effects of hydrogen peroxide and quercetin on cell viability, cell cycle phases and oxidative stress related cellular changes were investigated. Cell viability was assessed by WST-1 assay. Apoptosis rate, cell cycle phase changes and oxidative stress were measured by flow cytometry. Protein expressions of p21, p27, p53, NF-Kβ-p50 and proteasome activity were determined by Western blot and fluorometry, respectively. Results: Hydrogen peroxide and quercetin treatment resulted in decreased cell viability and increased apoptosis in HepG2 cells. Proteasome activity was increased by hydrogen peroxide but decreased by quercetin treatment. Conclusion: Both agents resulted in decreased p53 protein expression and increased cell death by different mechanisms regarding proteostasis and cell cycle phases.

SUMMARY The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of 20% and 35% hydrogen peroxide bleaching gels on the color, opacity, and fluorescence of composite resins. Seven composite resin brands were tested and 30 specimens, 3-mm in diameter and 2-mm thick, of each material were fabricated, for a total of 210 specimens. The specimens of each tested material were divided into three subgroups (n=10) according to the bleaching therapy tested: 20% hydrogen peroxide gel, 35% hydroxide peroxide gel, and the control group. The baseline color, opacity, and fluorescence were assessed by spectrophotometry. Four 30-minute bleaching gel applications, two hours in total, were performed. The control group did not receive bleaching treatment and was stored in deionized water. Final assessments were performed, and data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tukey tests (p&lt;0.05). Color changes were significant for different tested bleaching therapies (p&lt;0.0001), with the greatest color change observed for 35% hydrogen peroxide gel. No difference in opacity was detected for all analyzed parameters. Fluorescence changes were influenced by composite resin brand (p&lt;0.0001) and bleaching therapy (p=0.0016) used. No significant differences in fluorescence between different bleaching gel concentrations were detected by Tukey test. The greatest fluorescence alteration was detected on the brand Z350. It was concluded that 35% hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel generated the greatest color change among all evaluated materials. No statistical opacity changes were detected for all tested variables, and significant fluorescence changes were dependent on the material and bleaching therapy, regardless of the gel concentration.

Gamma-oryzanol (GO) is a popular supplement for performance horses, dogs, and humans. Previous studies indicated that GO supplementation decreases creatine kinase activity and lactate level after exercise and may affect oxidative stress in Thoroughbred horses. GO may change genes expression in equine satellite cells (ESC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of GO on miRNA, gene expression, oxidative stress, and cell damage and viability in differentiating ESC pretreated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). ESCs were obtained from a young horse’s skeletal muscle. ESCs were pre-incubated with GO (24 h) and then exposed to H2O2 for one hour. For the microRNA and gene expression assessment, the microarray technique was used. Identified miRNAs and genes were validated using real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Several tests related to cell viability, cell damage, and oxidative stress were performed. The microarray analysis revealed differences in 17 miRNAs and 202 genes between GO-treated and control ESC. The tests related to apoptosis, cell viability, and oxidative stress showed that GO affects these processes to varying degrees. Our results suggest that GO can change miRNA and gene expression and may impact the processes involved in tissue repairing after an injury.

We compared calcium silicate-based pulp capping materials to conventional calcium hydroxide in terms of their biological properties and potential effects on odontogenic differentiation in human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). We cultured hDPSCs on disks (7-mm diameter, 4-mm high) of ProRoot MTA (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties), Biodentine (Septodont), TheraCal LC (Bisco), or Dycal (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties). Cell viability was assessed with cell counting (CCK) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Odontogenic activity was assessed by measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and gene expression (quantitative real-time PCR). CCK assays showed that Dycal reduced cell viability compared to the other materials (p < 0.05). SEM showed low and absent cell attachment on TheraCal LC and Dycal disks, respectively. hDPSCs exposed to TheraCal LC and Dycal showed higher ALP activity on day 6 than the control group (p < 0.05). The day-9 Runx2 expression was higher in the ProRoot MTA and TheraCal LC groups than in the control group (p < 0.05). On day 14, the ProRoot MTA group showed the highest dentin sialophosphoprotein levels (not significant; p > 0.05). In conclusion, various pulp capping materials, except Dycal, exhibited biological properties favorable to hDPSC viability. ProRoot MTA and TheraCal LC promoted higher Runx2 expression than Biodentine. Future studies should explore the odontogenic potential of pulp capping materials.

Background: Dapagliflozin, a selective Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, has been shown to play a key role in the control and management of the metabolic and cardiac disease. Objective: The current study aims to address the effects of dapagliflozin on the expression of fractalkine (FKN), known as CX3CL1, and its receptors CX3CR1, Nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) p65 activity, Reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inflammation in LPS-treated H9c2 cell line. Methods: H9c2 cells were cultured with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish a model of LPS-induced damage and then subsequently were treated with dapagliflozin for 72 h. Our work included measurement of cell viability (MTT), Malondialdehyde (MDA), intracellular ROS, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), NF-κB activity, and expression CX3CL1/CX3CR1. Results: The results showed that LPS-induced reduction of cell viability was successfully rescued by dapagliflozin treatment. The cellular levels of MDA, ROS, and TNF-α, as an indication of cellular oxidative stress and inflammation, were significantly elevated in H9c2 cells compared to the control group. Furthermore, dapagliflozin ameliorated inflammation and oxidative stress through the modulation of the levels of MDA, TNF-α, and ROS. Correspondingly, dapagliflozin reduced the expression of CX3CL1/CX3CR1, NF-κB p65 DNA binding activity and it also attenuated nuclear acetylated NF-κB p65 in LPS-induced injury in H9c2 cells compared to untreated cells. Conclusion: These findings shed light on the novel pharmacological potential of dapagliflozin in the alleviation of LPS-induced CX3CL1/CX3CR1-mediated injury in inflammatory conditions such as sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy.

In this study the effect of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), a phenolic antioxidantused in food on Ferric‐Nitrilotriacetate (Fe–NTA) induced nephrotoxicity is reported. Fe‐NTA (9 mg Fe/kg body weight, intraperitoneally) treatment enhanced the renal microsomal lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide generation to ~2‐2.5 folds compared to saline‐treated control and glutathione levels and the activities of antioxidant enzymes decreased to a range of 2–2.5 fold in kidney. These changes were reversed significantly in animals receiving a pretreatment of BHA. Pretreatment with BHA prior to Fe‐ NTA treatment reduced microsomal lipid peroxidation and hydrogen peroxide generation to 1.3‐1.5 fold compared to control group and glutathione and the activities of antioxidant enzymes increased to a range of 1.5‐2 folds in kidney. Fe‐NTA administration enhanced value of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine to 3.7 and 2.5 fold respectively as compared to their corresponding control group. Administration of Fe‐NTA to rats receiving a pretreatment of BHA led to a significant diminution in both of these values. The results indicate that BHA is a potent chemopreventive agent and suppresses Fe‐NTA induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

Background: Oxidative stress is imbalance between aggressive and defensive system. Overproduction of oxidative stress contribute in pathogenesis of many diseasesincluding Parkinsonism, Alzheimer diseases, apoptosis, hepatic fibrosis ,chronic kidney failure and liver steatosis etc . There are several OTC drugs including NSAIDs that generate oxidative stress when administered. So there is a need to explore about these drugs. Therefore this study was designed to evaluate the oxidative stress potential of Acetaminophen, acetyl salicylic acid and Celecoxib NSAIDs. Objective: The present study is design to investigate the oxidative stress of NSAIDs of acetaminophen, aspirin and Celecoxib drug with reference to the hydrogen peroxide. Material and method: The Experimental protocol was designed for estimate the level of oxidative stress in NSAIDs treated animals against hydrogen peroxides. Animal of control group received only vehicle throughout experimental protocol. Rats of AAP group, ASA group ,CX group were exposed to acetaminophen (150mg/kg; orally) acetyl salicylic acid (300mg/kg ;orally) and Celecoxib (50mg/kg; orally) for forty two days . Rodent of HP group were challenged with Hydrogen peroxides (0.5%) with same schedule as above. At end of experimental protocols, all the animals were sacrificed and their organ were identified and collected for oxidative stress estimation and histological examination. Result: NSAIDs administration caused increase in oxidative stress measured in terms of SOD, CAT, MDA, GSH and GPx. HP administration produced maximum oxidative stress compare to all other groups. Oxidative parameter i.e. SOD, CAT, GSH and GPx were found to be decreased as compare to control rats. However MDA were found to be increased as compare to control rats. Additionally, CX produced less oxidative stress compare to other NDAIDs. Further, histological examinations support the biochemical results. Conclusion: From the above observations it can be concluded that NSAIDs have oxidative stress potential and generate oxidative stress and damage the organs when administrated chronically. Thus, these drugs should be used judiciously.
