Changes in Activity of Three Sulfurtransferases in Response to Exposure to Cadmium, Lead and Mercury Ions

Abstract:

Cadmium, lead and mercury are environmentally persistent toxicants that affect tissues and cellular components or exert an effect on generation of reactive oxygen species causing a decreased level of available antioxidant reserves. Sulfurtransferases are enzymes that are widespread in nature. Rhodanese, 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase and γ Show more

“…Accumulation in the testes is higher than in the brain, however, the content of all the investigated ions in these tissues is much lower in comparison to their content in the kidney and/or liver. The results are in accordance with the earlier data obtained using the X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and Energy Dispersion Spectrum (EDS) methods [4,5].…”

“…To perform the study, three species of anuran amphibians were selected: Pelophylax ridibundus, Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis. Two of them: Pelophylax ridibundus (Rana ridibunda-the older name) and Xenopus laevis due to our earlier investigations [4,5,23,24] and the third one-Xenopus tropicalis-due to the fact that in the NCBI database its genome appeared first. The consent to acquire marsh frogs Pelophylax ridibundus was issued by the General Director of Environment Protection (DOPozgiz-4200 / II-77/3703/10 / JRO).…”

“…In vivo experiments showed that CSE-knockout mice were sensitive to Cd-induced hepatotoxicity [44]. Adaptive changes in the activity and expression of CGL, MST, and TST in various frog tissues in response to exposure to lead, mercury, and cadmium confirmed the protective function of these enzymatic proteins against electrophilic stress [45,46].…”
