Fumaric Acid Derivatives in Rodent Cells and Induction of Glutathione Transferases and NAD(P)H:Quinone

چکیده
Dimethyl fumarate and dimethyl maléate are potent inducers of cytosolic NAD(P)H:(quinone acceptor) oxidoreductase (here designated uninone reducÃ-ase)activity in Hepa Iclc? murine hepatoma cells in culture, whereas fumarie and maleic acids are much less potent, in agreement with the much greater reactivity of the esters as Michael reaction acceptors (P. Talalay, M. J. De Long, and H. J. Prochaska, Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA, «5:8261-8265,1988). Dimethyl fumarate also induced quinone reductase in mutants of the Hepa Iclc7 cell line that were either defective in the Ah receptor or in cytochrome 1V45U activity, thereby establishing that this compound is a monofunctional inducer (H. J. Prochaska and P. Talalay, Cancer Res., 48:4776-4782,1988). Addition of dimethyl fumarate to the diet of female CD-I mice and female SpragueDawley rats at 0.2-0.5% concentrations elevated cytosolic glutathione transferases and quinone reductase activities in a variety of organs, whereas much higher concentrations of fumarie acid were only marginally active. The widespread induction of such detoxication enzymes by di methyl fumarate suggests the potential value of this compound as a protective agent against chemical carcinogenesis and other forms of electrophile toxicity. This proposal is supported by the finding that the concentrations of dimethyl fumarate required to obtain substantial en zyme inductions were well tolerated by rodents. Furthermore, the parent fumarie acid has low chronic toxicity and is a naturally occurring meta bolic intermediate that is already in the food chain as an additive, and fumarate salts and esters are used for therapeutic purposes in man.

متن کاملIndirect antioxidant protection against photooxidative processes initiated in retinal pigment epithelial cells by a lipofuscin pigment.
Oxidative mechanisms are considered to contribute to the aging changes in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells that underlie the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration. An important source of oxidative damage is likely to be the photoreactive pigments that progressively accumulate and constitute the lipofuscin of retinal pigment epithelial cells. Evidence for a link between RPE lipo...
متن کاملPhenobarbital induction of AP-1 binding activity mediates activation of glutathione S-transferase and quinone reductase gene expression.
Phenobarbital is an inducer of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P-450, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and NAD(P)H:quinone reductase, as well as being a promoter of hepatocarcinogenesis. The molecular mechanisms regulating these biological activities are, however, unknown. In this paper we show that induction by phenobarbital of GST Ya and quinone reductase gene expression ...

Murine (Hepa1c1c7) hepatoma cells are a suitable in vitro system for investigating the regulation of chemoprotective enzymes by selenazolidines, novel l-selenocysteine prodrugs developed as potential chemopreventive agents. They are less sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of both selenite and the less toxic selenazolidines than rat hepatoma (H4IIE) cells. All four selenazolidine 4-carboxylic ac...
