Various enzymic systems, such as nitrite reductase, sulfite reductase and glutathione reductase, have been proposed for, or suspected to be involved in, the reduction of selenite in bacteria. As alphaproteobacteria have been shown to be highly tolerant to transition metal oxyanions, it seemed interesting to investigate the hypothetical involvement of these different enzymes in the reduction of ...
Carotenoid and melanin pigments in the plumage of birds are hypothesized to be sensitive to oxidative stress. We manipulated oxidative status of captive greenfinches (Carduelis chloris L.) by the administration of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a selective inhibitor of the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), an intracellular antioxidant. Half of the birds in the treated group, as well as in the cont...
The role of lipid peroxidation in the mechanism of arsenic toxicity was investigated in female rats pretreated with N-acetylcysteine (NAC, a glutathione [GSH] inducer) or with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO, a GSH depletor). Rats were challenged with sodium arsenite, and sacrificed 1 hr after this treatment. Results showed that arsenic decreased GSH levels and increased lipid peroxidation in liver...
Crocidolite, one of the most carcinogenic forms of asbestos, is mutagenic in cultured mammalian cells when assayed using a system that can detect multilocus deletions. In the present study, we examined the effect of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) on mutation frequency and the formation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in human-hamster hybrid (A(L)) cells induced by crocidolite fibers in an att...
Multidrug resistance (MDR) represents one of the major setbacks to chemotherapy and can occur due to the overexpression of efflux pumps as P-glycoprotein (Pgp), multiple resistance-related protein 1 (MRP1) and lung resistance-related protein (LRP). Verapamil, a substrate for Pgp, modulates its activity. L-buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO) can be used as blocker for MRP1. In this study we aim to comp...
The potential of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) as a novel therapy against ovarian cancer has been progressively recognized. Its prospective usefulness for treatment of this malignancy either alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents has been increasingly explored. In this study, we attempted to enhance the cytotoxicity of As2O3 in ovarian cancer cells through manipulation of cellula...
Cigarette smoke, the major risk factor for the development of emphysema, contains over 4,700 chemical compounds, including free radicals and other oxidants (10(14)/puff). An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants has been proposed in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Inhibition of repair processes has been suggested to be one pathway contributing to the development...
Depletion of glutathione (GSH) from CYP2E1-expressing cells by treatment with l-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) causes decreased cell viability. The possible role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in this toxicity was evaluated. SB203580 [4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-methylsulfinylphenyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)1H-imidazole], an inhibitor of p38 MAPK decreased the BSO-dependent toxicity in HepG2 E47 ce...
Propyl gallate (PG) as a synthetic antioxidant is widely used in processed food and medicinal preparations. It also exerts a variety of effects on tissue and cell functions. In the present study, we investigated the effects of L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO, an inhibitor of GSH synthesis), diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC, an inhibitor of Cu/Zn-SOD) or 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (AT, an inhibitor of cata...
There exists a strong link between oxidative stress, renal dopaminergic system, and hypertension. It is reported that reactive oxygen species attenuate renal proximal tubular dopamine receptor (D1R) function, which disrupts sodium regulation and leads to hypertension. However, the mechanisms for renal D1R dysfunction are not clear. We investigated the role of redox-sensitive transcription facto...
