Chronic ethanol ingestion potentiates TNF-alpha-mediated oxidative stress and apoptosis in rat type II cells.

چکیده
In septic patients, chronic alcohol abuse increases the incidence of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Because alveolar type II cell viability is critical for epithelial repair, our objective was to determine if chronic ethanol ingestion increased the sensitivity of type II cells to the inflammatory mediators upregulated during sepsis. In rats chronically fed ethanol, type II cell mitochondrial GSH was depleted, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced generation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis were potentiated. When added to the ethanol diet, the GSH precursor (-)-2-oxo-4-thiazolidinecarboxylic acid (Procysteine; Pro) but not N-acetylcysteine (NAC) normalized type II cell mitochondrial GSH. Likewise, Pro but not NAC normalized TNF-alpha-induced mitochondrial ROS and apoptosis. This suggested that chronic ethanol ingestion potentiated TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis in type II cells via mitochondrial GSH depletion. This may be particularly relevant in ARDS when type II cell viability is critical to repair of the damaged alveolar epithelium and may have important ramifications for the treatment of ARDS patients with a history of alcohol abuse.

متن کاملIron Overload Induced Apoptotic Cell Death in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species
Isolated rat hepatocytes in culture were incubated with different concentrations of iron-sorbitol (50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) to assess the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation leading to apoptotic hepatocyte cell death. The viability of hepatocytes was declined depending on the iron concentration. One hour incubation of the cells with 100 µM iron resulted in decreased...
