Lipid peroxidation as pathway of aluminium cytotoxicity in human skin fibroblast cultures: Prevention by superoxide dismutase+catalase and vitamins E and C

Abstract

<jats:p> Lipid peroxidation is one of the main manifestations of oxidative damage and has been found to play an important role in the toxicity and carcinogenicity of many xenobiotics. In the present study, we investigated the possible induction of lipid peroxidation by aluminium in human foreskin fibroblast cultures by assaying the malondialde hyde (MDA) produced inside the cells. The MDA–thiobarbituric acid (TBA) adduct was assayed by HPLC using fluorometric quantification after extraction in n-butanol. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was used as a marker of aluminium toxicity. MDA production was significantly increased after 24 h incubation with aluminium and paralleled LDH release. Superoxide dismutase (SOD)+catalase and vitamins C and E added in the culture medium as oxygen radical and free radical scavengers were efficient in preventing MDA production by aluminium, indicating that oxidative processes are one of the main pathways whereby this metal induces cytotoxicity. The latter is also largely prevented, thus confirming the link between oxidative stress induced by aluminium and its cytotoxicity in human skin fibroblasts.

Therapeutic efficacy of chlorogenic acid on cadmium-induced oxidative neuropathy in a murine model

“…In the oxidative stress cascade, lipid peroxidation is the chief culprit and plays an imperative role in the toxicity of many xenobiotics (53,54). In the present study, the oxidative insult of Cd increased the MDA level, an oxidative product of LPO in brain tissue.…”

Comparative Study on the Influence of Epigallocatechin-3-gallat e and/ or Coenzyme Q10 against Alzheimer's disease Induced by Aluminium in Normally-Fed and Protein Malnourished Rats

“…Lipid peroxidation is considered one of the main manifestations of oxidative damage and plays an important role in toxicity [57]. Concerning the data obtained in the present work, the elevation of lipid peroxidation in brain of Al-treated rats was evidenced by increased Table 2: Effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and/or coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) during AD induction against the severity of histopathological alterations in the brain of PM rats.…”

Melatonin is a potent modulator of antioxidative defense and cellular proliferation against aluminum toxicity in rats

“…It has been found to play an important role in the toxicity of many xenobiotics and chemical compounds (Anane and Creppy, 2001). Our results indicated increased LPO levels in the small intestine tissue in response to Al treatments.…”
