Mechanism of the antimycin A-mediated enhancement of t-butylhydroperoxide-induced single-strand breakage in DNA.
Inhibitors of complex III increased the DNA strand scission induced by t-butylhydroperoxide (tB-OOH) and cumene hydroperoxide but did not affect DNA damage induced by H2O2. The hypothesis that these effects are selectively linked to inhibition of the electron transport from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 is validated by the following observations: (1) two complex III inhibitors, antimycin A and ...
متن کاملPlant-derived phenolic compounds prevent the DNA single-strand breakage and cytotoxicity induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide via an iron-chelating mechanism.
The protective effects of selected members from a series of caffeic acid esters and flavonoids were tested in various toxicity paradigms using U937 cells, previously shown to be sensitive to either iron chelators or bona fide radical scavengers or to both classes of compounds. It was found that all the protective polyphenols were active at very low concentrations and that their effects were obs...
متن کاملCalcium-dependent mitochondrial formation of species mediating DNA single strand breakage in U937 cells exposed to sublethal concentrations of tert-butylhydroperoxide.
Treatment of U937 cells with a sublethal albeit DNA-damaging concentration of tert-butylhydroperoxide (tB-OOH) enhanced mitochondrial Ca++ uptake and ruthenium red (RR), a polycation that inhibits the calcium uniporter of mitochondria, significantly reduced the extent of DNA cleavage generated by the hydroperoxide. Release of Ca++ from the ryanodine(Ry)/caffeine(Cf)-sensitive stores further inc...
متن کاملEnhancement of RecA-mediated self-assembly in DNA nanostructures through basepair mismatches and single-strand nicks
The use of DNA as a structural material for nanometre-scale construction has grown extensively over the last decades. The development of more advanced DNA-based materials would benefit from a modular approach enabling the direct assembly of additional elements onto nanostructures after fabrication. RecA-based nucleoprotein filaments encapsulating short ssDNA have been demonstrated as a tool for...
متن کاملBaicalin promoted the repair of DNA single strand breakage caused by H2O2 in cultured NIH3T3 fibroblasts.
The protective effect of Baicalin, a flavonoid isolated from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis G., on H2O2-induced DNA single strand break (SSB) was examined in NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts by Comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis technique). When the cells were pulse-chased with H2O2 (0.1-0.5 mM) for 15 min in fetal bovine serum (FBS)-free Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM), SSB oc...
