Biochemical and Molecular Actions of Nutrients Xanthophylls and -Tocopherol Decrease UVB-Induced Lipid Peroxidation and Stress Signaling in Human Lens Epithelial Cells
Epidemiological studies suggest that consumption of vegetables rich in the xanthophylls lutein (LUT) and zeaxanthin (ZEA) reduces the risk for developing age-related cataract, a leading cause of vision loss. Although LUT and ZEA are the only dietary carotenoids present in the lens, direct evidence for their photoprotective effect in this organ is not available. The present study examined the ef...
متن کاملEaf2 protects human lens epithelial cells against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis by Wnt signaling
The tumor suppressor protein ELL-associated factor 2 (Eaf2) serves an important role in lens development and maturation; however, its role in oxidative stress‑induced cataract formation remains unclear. In the present study, an in vitro apoptosis model was constructed by treating HLE‑B3 cells with 50 µM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and was confirmed by flow cytometry. Subsequently, overexpression ...
متن کاملMetabolism of lipid derived aldehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal in human lens epithelial cells and rat lens.
PURPOSE An earlier study showed that 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), formed as a result of increased lipid peroxidation in oxidative stress, causes loss of lens transparency. To determine how HNE is detoxified in ocular tissues, its metabolism in cultured human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) as well as rat lens was investigated. METHODS Rat lens or HLECs were incubated with 30 nmol (5 x 10(5) cpm/ mic...
متن کاملhTERT extends proliferative lifespan and prevents oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in human lens epithelial cells.
PURPOSE Telomerase is a specialized polymerase that catalyzes synthesis of telomeres in most eukaryotes. When introduced into somatic cells, it extends the proliferative lifespan and prevents replicative senescence. Whether it has similar functions in lens epithelial cells, especially in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) remains to be determined. In this study, the human telomerase reverse tr...
متن کاملDrug Biochemistry Evaluation of Ascorbic Acid, Probucol, and Α-tocopherol as Suppressors of Dexamethasone Induced Lipid Peroxidation
Lipid peroxidation is a highly destructive process, which induces a plethora of alterations in structure and function of cellular membranes. It is involved in number of diseases and poisoning by several toxins. Lipid peroxidation occurs in response to oxidative stress, and a great diversity of aldehydes are formed when lipid hydroperoxides break down in biological systems. Among the aldehydic e...
