Paeoniflorin (PF) has been reported to possess neuroprotective influences on cognitive dysfunction illness. In current research, we attempted to probe into the protective influences of PF against HO-induced damage and the underlying regulating mechanisms on hippocampal HT-22 cells. HT-22 cells were pretreated with PF, and then induced by HO. Afterwards, the influences of PF pretreatment were examined using CCK-8 assay, apoptosis assay, western blot and ROS assay, respectively. In addition, the expression of microRNA-135a (miR-135a) was analyzed and altered by qRT-PCR and cell transfection, respectively. After overexpression of miR-135a, the effects of miR-135a mimic on cell functions were detected again. Moreover, influences of HO, PF and miR-135a overexpression on JAK2/STAT3 and ERK1/2 signal pathways were further investigated. Further experiments verified that PF pretreatment alleviated HO-induced oxidative stress through increasing cell viability, inhibiting cell apoptosis, reducing ROS generation and activating JAK2/STAT3 and ERK1/2 pathways. Besides, expression of miR-135a was declined by PF pretreatment. Whereas, miR-135a mimic abrogated the protective effects triggered by PF pretreatment. These results indicated that PF can alleviate HO-induced oxidative stress by down-regulation of miR-135a via activation of JAK2/STAT3 and ERK1/2 pathways.

The oxidation of the common pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) initiated by HO radical and the risks of its degradation products were studied in the gaseous and aqueous phases via computational approaches. Oxidation mechanisms were investigated, including H-, Cl-, CH- abstraction, HO-addition, and single electron transfer. In both phases, HO-addition at the C of the pyridyl ring is the most energetically favorable and spontaneous reaction, followed by H-abstraction reactions at methylene groups (i.

Pyrite is widely distributed in estuarine sediments as an inexpensive natural Fenton-like reagent, however, the mechanism on the hydroxyl radical (HO) production by pyrite under estuarine environmental conditions is still poorly understood. The batch experiments were performed to investigate the effects of estuarine conditions including aging (in air, in water), seawater anions (Cl, Br and HCO) and light on the HO production by pyrite oxidation. The one-electron transfer dominated the process from O to HO induced by oxidation of pyrite.

Objective: To explore the protective mechanism of spinosin (SPI) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) model cells, Neuro-2a/APP695 (N2a/APP695), against HO-induced oxidative stress damage, to reflect the influence of oxidative stress on the development of AD, and to provide a valuable basis for the research and development of therapeutic drug for AD.
Methods: N2a/APP695 cells were exposed to HO and then treated with spinosin. Firstly, the secretion level of amyloid β (Aβ) and the production of malondialdehyde (MDA) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay kits.

Objective: To elucidate the regulatory effects of salvianolic acid B (SalB) on trophoblast cells in preeclampsia (PE).
Methods: 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenylte-trazolium bromide (MTT) assays were used to detect the viability of human extravillous trophoblast HTR-8/Svneo cells induced by HO following treatment with different concentrations of SalB. The levels of oxidative stress-related molecules, including superoxide dismutase, glutathione-Px and malondialdehyde were detected using corresponding kits.
