几种重金属对紫背萍过氧化氢酶活性的影响

通过测定被暴露植物分解过氧化氢后放出氧气的体积，确定紫背萍过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）的活性。结果表明，紫背萍暴露在Ｈｇ、Ｐｂ、Ｃｒ、Ｎｉ、Ｆｅ的溶液中，其ＣＡＴ活性除在Ｐｂ作用下明显降低外，在其它４种重金属的作用下都有不同程度的升高。这表明Ｐｂ对紫背萍 ＣＡＴ活性有抑制作用，而其它４种重金属对紫背萍ＣＡＴ均有刺激作用。紫背萍对５种重金属所表现出来的这种生态效应，是重金属水污染的植物潜在效应，植物的ＣＡＴ

通过室内模拟非潮汐淹水,探索不同淹水水位条件下,红树植物白骨壤(A.marina(Forsk.)Vierh).超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、丙二醛(MDA)随时间的变化情况。结果表明,经历第二个淹水周期后,较第一个周期各梯度,白骨壤超氧化物歧化酶活性(SOD)从高到低排序不变,过氧化氢酶活性(CAT)、丙二醛的量(MDA)也表现出相同的规律。本研究结论为红树植物在人工非潮汐生境下,红树林造林的关键技术之一——淹水水位的控制提供了数据参考。     

Hydroxytyrosol, the phenolic compound of olive oil protects human PBMC against oxidative stress and DNA damage mediated by 2,3,7,8-TCDD

The protective effect of hydroxytyrosol (HT), a strong antioxidant compound from extra virgin olive oil, against TCDD induced toxicity was investigated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMC (1 × 10⁶ cells mL⁻¹) were divided into four groups and were incubated in a CO₂ incubator (5% CO₂) for 12 h with vehicle, TCDD (10 nM), TCDD + HT (10 nM + 100 μM) and HT alone (100 μM) respectively. To clarify the role of HT against TCDD induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress and the levels of antioxidant enzymes were assessed. Incubation of PBMC with TCDD significantly decreased cell viability, catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and increased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and oxidative stress markers such as lipid peroxidation products (LPO), protein carbonyl content (PCC) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Whereas, HT had an effective antioxidant property as observed by the increased cell viability, normalization of antioxidant enzymes and decreased levels of LPO, PCC and ROS in PBMC co-treated with HT and TCDD. Apoptosis detection and comet assay results shows that HT, by acting as an antioxidant, prevents the damage to DNA induced by TCDD. In addition light microscopic and histopathological observations revealed that the cells are apoptotic and degenerated during TCDD treatment, whereas cells showed intact morphology during co-treatment with HT. On the whole, the results reveal that HT exerts a promising antioxidant potential in protecting the PBMC against TCDD induced oxidative stress, which might be due to the presence of catechol moiety in its structure.     

Plant steroid hormones produced under Ni stress are involved in the regulation of metal uptake and oxidative stress in Brassica juncea L

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are involved in the amelioration of various biotic and abiotic stresses. With an aim to explore the role of BRs under heavy metal stress, plants of Brassica juncea L. were grown in pots. The plants were subjected to various concentrations of Nickel metal (0.0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 mM) and harvested on 60th day in order to observe the expression of these hormones. The isolated BRs from the leaves of Brassica plants characterized by GC-MS include 24-Epibrassinolide (24-EBL), Castasterone, Dolicholide and Typhasterole. The effect of isolated 24-EBL was studied on Ni metal uptake and antioxidative defense system in 60 d old plants of Brassica. It was observed that 24-EBL significantly increased the activities of stress ameliorating enzymes and lowered the metal uptake in plants. This is the first report in B. juncea L. plants showing the expression of BRs under metal treatments and effect of the isolated 24-EBL on metal uptake and in oxidative stress management.     

Zn^2＋对水鳖的毒性作用

研究了不同浓度Zn^2 毒害对水鳖叶片膜脂过氧化作用及其体细胞超微结构的影响。结果表明,随着Zn^2 浓度的增加,叶绿素含量、SOD、CAT、POD活性先后升降,叶绿素a/b值值则逐渐减小,而MDA含量增加,O2^-产生速率也逐渐增大。同功酶分析表明,Zn^2 可以诱导新的POD同功酶,电镜观察发现,低浓度Zn^ 处理下,水鳖叶细胞中核质空泡化,叶绿体膨胀变形,线粒体嵴膨胀,溶酶体、小泡数量增加,且出现了多膜复合体;随着Zn^2 浓度的增加,核质消失,叶绿体和线粒体解体,而根尖分生细胞中则出现了多核仁现象。
