Hydrogen peroxide-induced epithelial injury: the protective role of intracellular nonprotein thiols (NPSH)

The European Respiratory Journal

Abstract

Injury to the alveolar region is a hallmark of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) whereas injury to the epithelium of the conducting airways is a characteristic of asthma. Reactive oxygen species have been implicated as mediators of lung injury in both of these conditions. We have investigated the relationship between intracellular nonprotein thiols (NPSH), and the release of the cytosolic enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), as an index of cell injury, following treatment of the human alveolar type II-like epithelial cell line (A549 cells) or the human bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE140-) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We have also assessed the protective effects of pre-incubation of both of these cells lines with H2O2 or enhancement of intracellular NPSH against H2O2-induced cell injury. Exposure of A549 and 16HBE140- cells to H2O2 (0.1 mM and 1 mM respectively for 16 h) produced the release of 40% of the total cellular LDH. H2O2 exposure produced an initial dose-dependent decrease in NPSH in A549 cells, with a subsequent increase to above control values. 16HBE140- cells also showed a dose-dependent decrease in NPSH following exposure to H2O2. Pretreatment of A549 cells with 0.1 mM H2O2 followed by subsequent...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
