چکیده

Experimental stroke using a focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (FCIR) model was induced in male Long-Evans rats by a bilateral occlusion of both common carotid arteries and the right middle cerebral artery for 30-90 min, followed by various periods of reperfusion. Oxidative DNA lesions in the ipsilateral cortex were demonstrated using Escherichia coli formamidopyrimidine DNA N-glycosylase (Fpg protein)-sensitive sites (FPGSS), as labeled in situ using digoxigenin-dUTP and detected using antibodies against digoxigenin. Because Fpg protein removes 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanine (oh8dG) and other lesions in DNA, FPGSS measure oxidative DNA damage. The number of FPGSS-positive cells in the cortex from the sham-operated control group was 3 +/- 3 (mean +/- SD per mm(2)). In animals that received 90 min occlusion and 15 min of reperfusion (FCIR 90/15), FPGSS-positive cells were significantly increased by 200-fold. Oxidative DNA damage was confirmed by using monoclonal antibodies against 8-hydroxy-guanosine (oh8G) and oh8dG. A pretreatment of RNase A (100 microg/ml) to the tissue reduced, but did not abolish, the oh8dG signal. The number of animals with positive FPGSS or oh8dG was significantly (P<0.01) higher in the FCIR group than in the sham-operated control group. We detected few FPGSS of oh8dG-positive cells in the animals treated with FCIR of 90/60. No terminal UTP nicked-end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells, as a detection of cell death, were detected at this early reperfusion time. Our data suggest that early oxidative DNA lesions elicited by experimental stroke could be repaired. Therefore, the oxidative DNA lesions observed in the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA of the brain are different from the DNA fragmentation detected using TUNEL.

P-13: Comparison of Sperm Quality, Oxidative Stress, DNA Fragmentation, Protamine Deficiency, and DNA Methylation in Varicocele and Fertile Individuals

s:1993:"Background: There are many approaches that gene expression is controlled in eukaryotes. DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression and lock genes in the "off" position. In addition, sperm DNA damage can correlate with DNA methylation defect. There is evidence that sperm of infertile men contain more DNA damage than fertile men and t...

P-240: Effect of Oxidative Stress on DNA Fragmentation Index in Sperm of Mature Mice

Background: One of the major factors affecting on male infertility is oxidative stress (OS). Two main sources of ROS production are leukocytes and spermatozoa. The ROS such as tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) may damage and fragmentate to sperm DNA, which can lead to complications in the offspring. In this study, we will investigate the effect of od on DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in sperm ...

Background: Varicocele is considered as a common cause of male infertility and can affect spermatogenesis. In addition, it also predisposed sperm to chromatin damage and morphological alternation. Other factors, such as environmental and genetic conditions also predispose sperm to these conditions. To answer this question, we aimed to evaluation of DNA fragmentation and protamine deficiency thr...
