Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the possible role of PI3-kinase/AKT as a survival pathway against CYP2E1-dependent toxicity. E47 cells (HepG2 cells transfected with human CYP2E1 cDNA) exposed to 25 microM iron-nitrilotriacetate+5 microM arachidonic acid (AA+Fe) developed higher toxicity than C34 cells (HepG2 cells transfected with empty plasmid). Toxicity was associated with increased oxidative stress and activation of calcium-dependent hydrolases calpain and phospholipase A2. Treatment of E47, but not C34 cells, with arachidonic acid and iron (AA+Fe) led to a decrease in the phosphorylation state of AKT. 2-(4-Morpholinyl)-8-phenyl-1(4H)-benzopyran-4-one hydrochloride (LY294002), a specific inhibitor of PI3-kinase, produced a further decrease of phosphorylated AKT in AA+Fe-treated E47 cells. LY294002 and down-regulation of endogenous AKT with small interference RNAs increased the toxicity of AA+Fe in E47 cells. Toxicity of AA+Fe in rat hepatocytes was also increased by LY294002. LY294002 did not affect phospholipase A2 or calpain activation, CYP2E1 activity, or lipid peroxidation elicited by AA+Fe. alpha-Tocopherol prevented both AA+Fe and AA+Fe+LY294002-induced toxicity and decrease of phosphorylated AKT. LY294002 p...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Calcium & Bioenergetics

Bioenergetic processes, including cellular respiration and photosynthesis, concern the transformation of energy by cells. Here is the latest research on the role of calcium in bioenergetics.
