We have recently demonstrated that the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) shared epitope (SE) acts as a ligand that triggers nitric oxide (NO) signaling in opposite cells. Given the known pro-oxidative effect of NO and the proposed role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of RA, this study explores whether SE-triggered signaling can increase cellular oxidative stress. cAMP levels, adenylyl cyclase activity, and protein kinase A activity were measured using commercial kits. Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was quantified using the fluorochrome dichlorofluorescein diacetate. Oxidative DNA damage was quantified using the single-cell electrophoresis technique. Here, we report that cells e…

Interaction between 24-hydroxycholesterol, oxidative stress, and amyloid-β in amplifying neuronal damage in Alzheimer’s disease: three partners in cr…

2011

All three cholesterol oxidation products implicated thus far in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, 7β-hydroxycholesterol, 24-hydroxycholesterol, and 27-hydroxycholesterol, markedly enhance the binding of amyloid-beta (Aβ) to human differentiated neuronal cell lines (SK-N-BE and NT-2) by up-regulating net expression and synthesis of CD36 and β1-integrin receptors. However, only 24-hydroxycholesterol markedly potentiates the pro-apoptotic and pro-necrogenic effects of Aβ(1-42) peptide on these cells: 7β-hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol, like unoxidized cholesterol, show no potentiating effect. This peculiar behavior of 24-hydroxycholesterol at physiologic concentrations (1 μ…

Action of low doses of Aspirin in Inflammation and Oxidative Stress induced by aβ1-42 on Astrocytes in primary culture

2020

Aspirin has been used as anti-inflammatory and anti-aggregate for decades but the precise mechanism(s) of action after the presence of the toxic peptide Aβ1-42 in cultured astrocytes remains poorly resolved. Here we use low-doses of aspirin (10-7 M) in astrocytes in primary culture in presence or absence of Aβ1-42 toxic peptide. We noted an increase of cell viability and proliferation with or without Aβ1-42 peptide presence in aspirin treated cells. In addition, a decrease in apoptosis, determined by Caspase 3 activity and the expression of Cyt c and Smac/Diablo, were detected. Also, aspirin diminished necrosis process (LDH levels), pro-inflammatory mediators (IL-β and TNF-α) and NF-ᴋB prot…

The title reaction involves the first example of ring opening and ring closing of bicyclic hydrazines (I) via metal catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction.

Abstract 1605: Pterostilbene, a natural phytoalexin, effectively protects against UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis by increasing antioxidant cellular …

2014

Abstract Clinical and laboratory studies have demonstrated that skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) is the main cause of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) (≈ 99%) and melanoma (≈ 95%) development. The procarcinogenic effects of solar exposure are mainly due to UVB radiation (290-320 nm range), the same tight range that produces burning in human skin (erythema), inflammation, oxidative stress, DNA damage, etc. The number of skin cancers around the world keeps increasing and, thus, it is an urgent need to find effective protection remedies. Phytoalexins of polyphenolic structure are naturally occurring compounds involved in the defense against pathogens and environmental stresses in pla…

Peroxisomes and Hepatotoxicity

1995

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles of eukaryotic cells and are present in significant amounts in hepatic liver cells. Peroxisomal enzymes contribute to several metabolic pathways including fatty acid, purine and amino acid catabolism or bile acid synthesis. The peroxisomal oxidative reactions produce hydrogen peroxide, mostly degraded by catalase which prevents oxidative stress. Moreover, peroxisomes are involved in arylderivative drug detoxification through its epoxide hydrolase activity.

Modular Access to 9,9-Spirobifluorenes by Oxidative Coupling Using Molybdenum Pentachloride

2013

The strong oxidizing agent molybdenum pentachloride was used for an efficient direct C–C bond formation of 9,9-diarylfluorenes to the corresponding 9,9-spirobifluorenes. Thus, a versatile method that is compatible with labile groups, such as iodo moieties, was established. By this approach important building blocks for light emitting polymers were synthesized in high yields.

Health promoting benefits of PEF: bioprotective capacity against the oxidative stress and its impact on nutrient and bioactive compound bioaccessibil…

2020

Abstract Pulsed electric field (PEF) is a relative innovative technology of food treatment, which enables obtaining high-quality and safe food products. PEF treatment due to its affinity to cell electroporation has been used for the preservation of liquid foods. Nowadays, PEF can also be a useful tool for designing processes with a wide range of new applications such as production of healthy food products with enhanced beneficial properties for human health. An overview of the current literature shows the potential of PEF to enhance new functional properties of foods based on its ability to increase nutrients and bioactive compounds extractability. This process can lead to increased bioacce…

This lecture summarizes some recent results and ideas about interrelations between degradation and mechanical behaviour of polyolefins. Aspects of the heterogeneous nature of oxidative degradation in the solid state, the feedback mechanism in degradation, effects of morphology, particularly orientation, on the degradation process, and the influence of degradation on plasticity and on the ultimate mechanical behaviour are discussed.
