Some antioxidant compounds decrease the amount of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequently reduce the deleterious effects of ROS in osteoblasts. Thus, these compounds fight against osteoporosis. Brown seaweeds are a rich source of antioxidant fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (fucans and fucoidans). We obtained six fucoidans (FRFs)—F0.3, F0.5, F0.7, F1.0, F1.5, and F2.1—from Dictyota mertensii by proteolytic digestion followed by sequential acetone precipitation. Except for F0.3, all FRFs showed antioxidant activity in different in vitro tests. In pre- osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-L1) exposed to H2O2-oxidative stress, caspase-3 and caspase-9 were activated, resulting in apoptosis of the cells. We also observed a decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. The antioxidant FRFs protected the cells from the oxidative damage caused by H2O2, decreasing intracellular ROS and caspase activation, and increasing SOD activity. The most effective protection against damage was provided by F0.7, F1.5, and F2.1. At 0.5 mg/mL, these FRFs also suppressed the H2O2-mediated inhibition of ALP activity. The data indicated that FRFs F0.7, F1.5, and F2.1 from D. mertensii were antioxidants that protected bone tissue from oxidative stress and could represent possible adjuvants for the treatment of bone fragility through counteracting oxidative phenomena.

AbstractBackgroundWe investigated whether 10-gingerol is able to induce oxidative stress in cumulus cells.MethodsFor the in-vitro research, we used a cumulus cell culture in M199, containing 10-gingerol in various concentrations (0, 12, 16, and 20 µM), and detected oxidative stress through superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, with incubation periods of 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. The obtained results were confirmed by in-silico studies.ResultsThe in-vitro data revealed that SOD activity and MDA concentration increased with increasing incubation periods: SOD activity at 0 µM (1.39 ± 0.24i), 12 µM (16.42 ± 0.35ab), 16 µM (17.28 ± 0.55ab), 20 µM (17.81 ± 0.12a), with a contribution of 71.1%. MDA concentration at 0 µM (17.82 ± 1.39 l), 12 µM (72.99 ± 0.31c), 16 µM (79.77 ± 4.19b), 20 µM (85.07 ± 2.57a), with a contribution of 73.1%. Based on this, the in-silico data uncovered that 10˗gingerol induces oxidative stress in cumulus cells by inhibiting HTR1A functions and inactivating GSK3B and AKT˗1.Conclusions10-gingerol induces oxidative stress in cumulus cells through enhancing SOD activity and MDA concentration by inhibiting HTR1A functions and inactivating GSK3B and AKT˗1.

Aim: To examine the effects of vitamin E-coated dialyzer on oxidative stress in vitro. Methods: A dialyzer with a synthetic polymer membrane (APS-11SA) and vitamin E-coated dialyzer (VPS-11SA) were connected to a blood tubing line, and U937 cells were circulated in the device. The circulating fluid was collected at 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cycles, which are estimated numbers of passes through the dialyzer. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, malondialdehyde (MDA), and Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) were quantified. Results: Intracellular ROS production was increased in the first cycle by APS-11SA and was decreased throughout the experiment by VPS-11SA. Intracellular ROS production in the VPS-11SA device was lower, and MDA levels were decreased. MDA levels were lower during VPS-11SA processing than during APS-11SA processing. Cu/Zn-SOD levels remained unchanged. Conclusion: Our results highlight anti-oxidative-stress effects of a vitamin E-coated dialyzer.

Acrylamide (AA), a widely used industrial chemical, is shown to be neurotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of different doses of AA on lipid peroxidation (LPO), haemolysis, methaemoglobin (MetHb) and antioxidant system in human erythrocytes in vitro. Erythrocyte solutions were incubated with 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 mM of AA at 37°C for 1 hour. At the end of the incubation, malondialdehyde (MDA), an end product of LPO, was determined by liquid chromatography (LC) while total glutathione, reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) enzymes and the rates of haemolysis and MetHb were determined by spectrophotometric methods. All of the studied concentrations of AA increased MetHb formation and SOD activity, and induced MDA formation and haemolysis due to the destruction of erythrocyte cell membrane. AA caused a decrease in the activities of GSH-Px, CAT and GSH levels. However, these effects of AA were seen only at higher concentrations than AA intake estimated for populations in many countries. We suggest that LPO process may not be involved in the toxic effects of AA in low concentrations, although the present results showed that the studied concentrations of AA exert deteriorating effects on antioxidant enzyme activities, LPO process and haemolysis.

Abstract Purpose To determine the sensitivity of the 18F-radiolabelled dihydroethidine analogue ([18F]DHE) to ROS in a validated ex vivo model of tissue oxidative stress. Procedures The sensitivity of [18F]DHE to various ROS-generating systems was first established in vitro. Then, isolated rat hearts were perfused under constant flow, with contractile function monitored by intraventricular balloon. Cardiac uptake of infused [18F]DHE (50–150 kBq.min−1) was monitored by γ-detection, while ROS generation was invoked by menadione infusion (0, 10, or 50 μm), validated by parallel measures of cardiac oxidative stress. Results [18F]DHE was most sensitive to oxidation by superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Normalised [18F]DHE uptake was significantly greater in menadione-treated hearts (1.44 ± 0.27) versus control (0.81 ± 0.07) (p < 0.05, n = 4/group), associated with concomitant cardiac contractile dysfunction, glutathione depletion, and PKG1α dimerisation. Conclusion [18F]DHE reports on ROS in a validated model of oxidative stress where perfusion (and tracer delivery) is unlikely to impact its pharmacokinetics.

Objective: Phytochemicals are known to elicit potential antioxidant activity. This study examined the cardioprotective effects of quercetin against oxidative damage to rat cardiomyocyte cells (H9c2) after treatment with Diesel Exhaust Nanoparticles (DEPs) or Petrol Exhaust Nanoparticles (PEPs). Methods: Cardiomyocyte cells were exposed to DEPs or PEPs alone and in a combination with quercetin for 24 h. Results: Results showed that quercetin had no lethal effect on H9c2 cells up to a concentration of 1.0 μg/ml. Exposure to DEPs (4.0 μg/ml) or PEPs (10.0 μg/ml) induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammation (p<0.05). It also provoked lipid peroxidation by an increase in MDA and a decrease in SOD activity and glutathione activity (p<0.05). Simultaneous addition of quercetin restored these parameters to near normal. Conclusion: These results thus specify that quercetin plays a protective role in cardiac cells exposed to DEPs and PEPs.

Development of cleavage-stage pre-implantation embryos is disrupted by exposure to heat shock. Heat shock also increases intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pre-implantation embryos. Therefore, reduction of intracellular ROS levels might improve the development of heat-shocked embryos. Recently the antioxidative activities of polyphenols have been widely reported to reduce the oxidative stress. In this study, we investigated the effect of purple sweet potato anthocyanin, a kind of polyphenol that is a strong ROS scavenger, on development and intracellular redox status of bovine pre-implantation embryos exposed to heat shock. Experiment 1: In vitro-produced 8-16-cell-stage embryos on Day 2 after fertilization were exposed to 41.5�C for 6 h in CR1aa containing 0, 0.1, 1, and 10 �g/mL anthocyanin at 5% CO2, 5% O2, and 90% N2. After heat shock, embryos were cultured at 38.5�C at 5% CO2, 5% O2 until Day 8. On Day 8, the proportion of embryos developing to the blastocyst stage was evaluated. Blastocyst total cell number and the ratio between inner cell mass and tropheoderm were evaluated by differential staining. The experiment was replicated five times with more than 70 embryos used in each treatment. Experiment 2: Heat shock treatment of in vitro-produced 8-16-cell-stage embryos was carried out as described in experiment 1. After heat shock, intracellular ROS and glutathione (GSH) levels were measured in individual 8-16 cell stage embryos with fluorescent probes (22,72-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate for ROS and CellTracker" Blue (Invitrogen Japan K. K., Tokyo, Japan) for GSH). The fluorescence emissions of each treatment were normalized to those of 8-16 cell stage embryos cultured at 38.5�C without anthocyanin to obtain the relative fluorescence emission. This experiment was replicated four times. Embryos treated with heat stress without anthocyanin (0 �g/mL) showed low development (14.6 � 3.6%) and blastocyst total cell number (88.2 � 9.4). However, embryos treated with 0.1 �g/mL anthocyanin improved development (31.7 � 4.5%, P < 0.05) and increased the total cell number (96.5 � 11.3). The higher concentrations of anthocyanin (1 and 10 �g/mL) did not affect development and cell number. The intracellular ROS levels in heat-shocked embryos were significantly reduced by all concentrations of anthocyanin (P < 0.05). In addition, anthocyanin increased GSH levels at all doses tested (P < 0.05). These results indicate that an appropriate concentration of anthocyanin improves development by regulating intracellular redox balance in bovine embryos exposed to heat shock.

In vitro-produced embryos are less viable than their in vivo counterparts. It is known that the developmental speed is a reliable marker of embryo viability. One of the major factors impairing in vitro embryo development is oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to evaluate oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in bovine in vitro-produced embryos that reached different developmental stages at the end of culture. Abattoir-derived oocytes were matured in vitro in TCM-199 with 15% bovine serum, 0.5 μg mL–1 of FSH, 5 μg mL–1 of LH, 0.8 mM L-glutamine and 50 mg mL–1 of gentamicin. Mature cumulus–oocyte complexes (COC) were fertilized in Tyrode's modified medium, supplemented by 5.3 SI mL–1 of heparin, 30 μM penicillamine, 15 μM hypotaurine, 1 μM epinephrine and 1% of bovine serum. Both in vitro maturation and IVF were carried out at 39°C and 5% CO2 in air. After 20 to 22 h of gamete co-incubation, presumptive zygotes were denuded and cultured in SOF for 7 days at 39°C under humidified air with 5% CO2, 7% O2 and 88% N2 in air. At the end of culture, embryos were assessed according to the stage of development as tight morulae (TM), early blastocysts (eBl), blastocysts (Bl), expanded blastocysts (XBl) and hatched blastocysts (HBl). For each stage of development, an average of 20 embryos were used to determine manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activity and levels of nitric oxide (NO2–) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). The SOD activity was determined by a colourimetric method (Caraglia M et al. 2011 Cell Death Dis. 2, 150, doi:10.1038/cddis.2011.34) whereas NO2– and TBARS were measured by a spectrophotometric method (Balestrieri et al. 2011 J. Cell. Physiol. doi:10.1002/jcp.22874). Data were analysed by t-test. Greater (P < 0.05) MnSOD activity was observed in faster developing embryos (i.e. XBl and HBl) compared with slower ones (i.e. TM, eBl and Bl; 0.46 ± 0.04, 0.46 ± 0.03, 0.14 ± 0.01, 1.66 ± 0.01 and 3.26 ± 0.3 U μg–1 of protein, in TM, eBl, Bl, XBl and HBl, respectively). At the same time, XBl and HBl showed the lowest NO2– levels. However, NO2– values were lower in TM compared with eBl and Bl (0.04 ± 0.002, 0.07 ± 0.005, 0.06 ± 0.003, 0.01 ± 0.002 and 0.01 ± 0.001 nM μg–1 of protein, in TM, eBl, Bl, XBl and HBl, respectively). Similarly to NO2–, TBARS levels were lower in XBl and HBl compared with the other stages (0.0059 ± 0.002, 0.009 ± 0.003, 0.006 ± 0.002, 0.001 ± 0.0001 and 0.0009 ± 0.0002 μM μg–1 of protein, in TM, eBl, Bl, XBl and HBl, respectively). In conclusion, these results clearly indicate developmental stage-dependent changes in MnSOD activity and levels of NO2– and TBARS, suggesting that oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation are reduced in faster developing embryos.

The oxidative stress process can affect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation. Interleukin (IL-15) regulates fat differentiation of BMSCs. However, the role of IL-15 in osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs under oxidative stress remains unclear. Rat BMSCs were cultured and randomly divided into control group; oxidative stress group and IL-15 treatment group followed by analysis of IL-15 secretion by ELISA, expression of osteocalcin, type I collagen, RUNX2 and OPN mRNA as well as FABP4 and PPARγ 2 by Real time PCR, ALP activity, ROS content and SOD activity, and expression of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling proteins by Western blot. In oxidative stress group, IL-15 secretion was significantly decreased, osteocalcin, type I collagen, RUNX2 and OPN mRNA expression was reduced, along with deceased ALP activity and SOD activity, increased ROS content and FABP4 and PPARγ 2 protein expression as well as decreased expression of p-AKT and mTOR in comparison of control (P < 0 05). IL-15 treatment on oxidative stress BMSCs significantly increased IL-15 secretion and the expression of osteocalcin, type I collagen, RUNX2 and OPN mRNA, along with increased ALP activity and SOD activity, decreased FABP4 and PPAR 2 protein expression and ROS content as well as increased expression of p-AKT and mTOR (P < 0 05). IL-15 secretion was reduced in BMSCs under oxidative stress. Promoting IL-15 secretion can improve redox balance through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.

Abstract Aiming to enhance therapeutic efficiency of lutein, lutein loaded chitosan-sodium alginate (CS-SA) based nanocarrier composite (LNCs) were prepared and evaluated for lutein bioavailability and pharmacokinetics in diabetic rats in comparison to micellar lutein (control). Further, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake and protective activity against H2O2 induced oxidative stress in ARPE-19 cells were studied. Results revealed that LNCs displayed maximal lutein AUC in plasma, liver and eye respectively in normal (3.1, 2.7 and 5.2 folds) and diabetic (7.3, 3.4 and 2.8 folds) rats. Lutein from LNCs exhibited a higher half-life time, mean residence time and slow clearance from the plasma, indicating prolonged circulation compared to control. In ARPE-19 cells, pre-treatment with LNCs (10 µM) have significantly attenuated H2O2 induced cell death, intracellular ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential compared to control. In conclusion, LNCs improve the lutein bioavailability in conditions like diabetes, diabetic retinopathy and cataract to curtail oxidative stress in retinal cells.

The antioxidant activity of food compounds is one of the properties generating the most interest, due to its health benefits and correlation with the prevention of chronic disease. This activity is usually measured using in vitro assays, which cannot predict in vivo effects or mechanisms of action. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vivo protective effects of six phenolic compounds (naringenin, apigenin, rutin, oleuropein, chlorogenic acid, and curcumin) and three carotenoids (lycopene B, β-carotene, and astaxanthin) naturally present in foods using a zebrafish embryo model. The zebrafish embryo was pretreated with each of the nine antioxidant compounds and then exposed to tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBOOH), a known inducer of oxidative stress in zebrafish. Significant differences were determined by comparing the concentration-response of the tBOOH induced lethality and dysmorphogenesis against the pretreated embryos with the antioxidant compounds. A protective effect of each compound, except β-carotene, against oxidative-stress-induced lethality was found. Furthermore, apigenin, rutin, and curcumin also showed protective effects against dysmorphogenesis. On the other hand, β-carotene exhibited increased lethality and dysmorphogenesis compared to the tBOOH treatment alone.
