Aggravation of polycystic kidney disease in Han:SPRD rats by buthionine sulfoximine.
The administration of ammonium chloride or of sodium or potassium bicarbonate has marked effects on the development of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in Han:SPRD rats. Because of the possibility that these effects are mediated by changes in redox metabolism, the aim of this study was to determine whether depletion of glutathione, the most abundant and important cellular thiol and scavenger of ...
متن کاملSuppression of plasma estradiol and progesterone concentrations by buthionine sulfoximine in female rats.
Glutathione (GSH) is an important factor involved in the resistance of tumor cells to anticancer agents. Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a specific inhibitor of GSH synthesis, effectively decreases cellular GSH concentrations both in vitro and in vivo. Depletion of GSH by BSO sensitizes a variety of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents. Therefore, BSO has been on clinical trial as an anticance...
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 کاملGlutathione 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 کاملButhionine sulfoximine diverts the melanogenesis pathway toward
23 Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) is a specific inhibitor of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase, thus 24 blocking the synthesis of glutathione (GSH). It is known that this makes that BSO affects melanin 25 synthesis because of the role of thiols in melanogenesis. However, BSO may also react with the 26 intermediate oxidation products of melanogenesis, a possibility that has not been investigated from ...
