Glutathione depletion by L-buthionine sulfoximine antagonizes taxol cytotoxicity.
Taxol is a naturally occurring chemotherapeutic agent that is active against a variety of tumors. Taxol is believed to act by binding tightly to microtubules and preventing their disaggregation. Others have shown that depletion of cellular glutathione results in the disaggregation of microtubules, presumably by allowing the oxidation of some or all of the cysteine residues in tubulins. We studi...
متن کاملGlutathione depletion by buthionine sulfoximine induces DNA deletions in mice.
Oxidative stress and genomic rearrangements play a role in cancer development. l-Buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO) induces oxidative stress in a cell by irreversibly inhibiting gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, an essential enzyme for the synthesis of glutathione (GSH). We postulated that oxidative stress induced by GSH depletion might lead to genomic rearrangements, such as DNA deletions, and that...
متن کاملPotent and specific inhibition of glutathione synthesis by buthionine sulfoximine (S-n-butyl homocysteine sulfoximine).
Buthionine sulfoximine (S-n-butyl homocysteine sulfoximine), the most potent of a series of analogs of methionine sulfoximine thus far studied (Griffith, O.W., Anderson, M.E., and Meister, A. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 1205-1210), inhibited gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase about 20 times more effectively than did prothionine sulfoximine and at least 100 times more effectively than methionine s...
متن کاملButhionine Sulfoximine Inhibits Cytopathic Effects and Apoptosis Induced by Infection with AIK-HDC Strain of Measles Virus
Measles virus (MV) is a highly contagious agent which causes a major health problem in developing countries. We studied the effect of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) on the replication of an AIK-HDC strain of MV and its induced apoptosis in Vero cell lines. Methods: In this study, toxicity of BSO on Vero cells was investigated first, resulted in determination of sub-lethal or non-toxic concentrati...
متن کاملthe effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance
this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...
