Characterization of oxygen free radicals generated during vanadate-stimulated NADH oxidation

Abstract: The oxidation of NADH and accompanying reduction of oxygen to H2O2 stimulated by polyvanadate was markedly inhibited by SOD and cytochrome c. The presence of decavanadate, the polymeric form, is necessary for obtaining the microsomal enzyme-catalyzed activity. The accompanying activity of reduction of cytochrome c was found to be SOD-insensitive and therefore does not represent superoxide formation. The reduction of cytochrome c by vanadyl sulfate was also SOD-insensitive. In the presence of H2O2, all the form… Show more

“…1). Since GSH was found to be involved in vanadate bioreduction [10][11][12][13][14][15], the levels of GSH should be affected when vanadate is administered. Indeed, it has been reported that the GSH pool is enhanced in the presence of vanadate [23,39].…”

“…Vanadium can induce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in biological systems through: (i) Fenton-like reactions [9]; (ii) vanadate bioreduction mediated by reduced glutathione (GSH), flavoenzymes or NAD(P)H oxidases with ROS as a by-product [10][11][12][13][14][15]; (iii) and recent evidences point out to an indirect promotion of ROS production, probably by interacting with mitochondria [16]. Moreover, vanadium toxicological effects in several cell types have been related with ROS production [16][17][18][19].…”

“…Thus, vanadate has been reported to inhibit the generation of superoxide, resulting in a blunting of the superoxide-induced loss of sarcolemmal Ca 2ϩ pump activity and Na ϩ -dependent Ca 2ϩ uptake in isolated rat hearts (Matsubara et al, 1995). In contrast, under certain conditions in vitro, vanadate has been shown to be capable of generating free radicals (Kalyani et al, 1992). However, this does not account for all its actions because other investigators failed to observe any action of reductants or antioxidants on vanadate-induced expression of actin and c-Ha-ras (Yin et al, 1992).…”

“…Several biological studies associate vanadium with the ability to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting in antioxidant enzymes alterations and leading to lipid peroxidation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. The involvement of toxic metals in cardiac oxidative damage suggests that this organ shows a great vulnerability to metal intoxication [9][10][11][12].…”
