Pathobiological effects of acrolein in cultured human bronchial epithelial cells.

چکیده
The ability of the highly reactive aldehyde acrolein to affect growth, membrane integrity, differentiation, and thiol status and to cause DNA damage has been studied at serum- and thiol-free conditions using cultured human bronchial epithelial cells. Acrolein markedly decreases colony survival at 3 microM whereas about 10-fold higher concentrations are required to increase membrane permeability, measured as uptake of trypan blue dye. Acrolein at micromolar concentrations also causes epithelial cells to undergo squamous differentiation as indicated by decreased clonal growth rate, dose-dependent increased formation of cross-linked envelopes, and increased cell planar surface area. Acrolein causes a marked and dose-dependent cellular depletion of total and specific free low-molecular-weight thiols as well as protein thiols. Exposure to acrolein did not cause oxidation of glutathione indicating that thiol depletion occurred by direct conjugation of reduced glutathione to acrolein without concomitant generation of active oxygen species. Furthermore, acrolein is genotoxic and causes both DNA single strand breaks and DNA protein cross-links in human bronchial epithelial cells. The results indicate that acrolein causes several cytopathic effects that relate to multistage carcinogenesis in the human bronchial epithelium.

Acrolein induces heme oxygenase-1 through PKC- δ and PI3K in human bronchial epithelial cells
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) catalyzes the rate limiting reaction of heme metabolism and plays critical roles in resistance to oxidative stress and other cellular functions. It is well known that HO-1 is induced in response to various stresses; however, the signaling pathways involved remains incompletely elucidated. Acrolein is an alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde present in cigarette smoke and also...

Cigarette smoking remains a major health concern worldwide, and many of the adverse effects of cigarette smoke (CS) can be attributed to its abundant electrophilic aldehydes, such as acrolein (2-propenal). Previous studies indicate that acrolein readily reacts with thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1), a critical enzyme involved in regulation of thioredoxin (Trx)-mediated redox signaling, by alkylat...
