The treatment of cerebrocortical synaptosomes with low concentrations of H2O2 induces a long-lasting inhibition of the Ca2+ -dependent release of glutamate induced by KCl or ionomycin, without interfering with the cytosolic calcium and without damaging the synaptosomes (Zoccarato, F., Valente, M., and Alexandre, A. (1995) J. Neurochem. 64, 2552-2558). We report now that the inhibition exerted by H2O2 decreases (from 50 +/- 9% to 25 +/- 11%) if exocytosis is triggered by high (80 mM) rather than by low (30 mM) KCl. Similarly the inhibition decreases when glutamate release is triggered by high rather than by low ionomycin. The decreased inhibition by H2O2 on increasing KCl is accompanied by an increase of [Ca2+]i. We conclude that the treatment with H2O2 decreases the CA2+ sensitivity of the synaptosomal exocytotic apparatus.

The objective of this study is to explore how adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) regulate mitochondrial structure and function and the impact of this regulation on slowing cellular senescence. HFF-1 cells were induced by HO to establish a cellular senescence model, and ASCs or Mdivi-1 (mitochondrial fission inhibitor) was added. MTT examined the cell proliferation; flow cytometry detected mitochondrial membrane potential as well as apoptosis and cell cycle; kit measured ATP production; ELISA analyzed the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha-like (TNF-α), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD); Western blotting and qRT-PCR detected the expression of protein and mRNA levels; and β-galactosidase staining observed the degree of cellular senescence.

Unlabelled: Despite the remarkably high antioxidant activity of tocopherols, their applications in the food industry are limited because of their instability under various conditions. Complexes of α-tocopherol (α-TQ) or α-tocopheryl acetate (α-TQA) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or starch were prepared and characterized by UV-vis, IR and thermal analysis. Oxidative stability of α-TQ and α-TQA against HO was 74.

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is an emerging antitumor strategy utilizing iron-initiated Fenton reaction to destroy tumor cells by converting endogenous HO into highly toxic hydroxyl radical (OH). However, the intratumoral overexpressed glutathione (GSH) and deficient acid greatly reduce CDT efficacy because of OH scavenging and decreased OH production efficiency. Even worse, the various physiological barriers, especially in glioma, further put the brakes on the targeted delivery of Fenton agents.

To investigate the effects of long non-coding RNA KLHL7-AS1 (LncRNA KLHL7-AS1) on the proliferation and apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells under oxidative stress and its mechanisms. Human nucleus pulposus cells (HUM-iCell-s012) were divided into 4 groups, and unoxidized nucleus pulposus cells were transfected with an empty pcDNA vector (pcDNA-control) to serve as the blank control group. Based on previous studies on oxidative stress-induced nucleus pulposus cell senescence and preliminary experiments, oxidative stress was induced by treating nucleus pulposus cells with 400 μmol/L HO.
