Abstract:
:Oxidative stress appears to be implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases including hepatotoxicity. Although intracellular Ca2+ signals have been suggested to play a role in the oxidative damage of hepatocytes, the sources and effects of oxidant-induced intracellular Ca2+ increases are currently debatable. Thus, in this study we investigated the exact source and mechanism of oxidant-induced liver cell damage using HepG2 human hepatoma cells as a model liver cellular system. Treatment with 200 microM of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBOOH) induced a sustained increase in the level of intracellular reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) and apoptosis, assessed by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence and flow cytometry, respectively. Antioxidants, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine significantly inhibited both the ROI generation and apoptosis. In addition, tBOOH induced a slow and sustained increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration, which was completely prevented by the antioxidants. An intracellular Ca2+ chelator, bis-(o-aminophenoxy)-ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid/cetoxymethyl ester significantly suppressed the tBOOH-induced apoptosis. These results imply that activation of an intracellular Ca2+ signal triggered by increased ROI may mediate the tBOOH-induced apoptosis. Both intracellular Ca2+ increase and induction of apoptosis were significantly inhibited by an extracellular Ca2+ chelator or Na+/Ca2+ exchanger blockers (bepridil and benzamil), whereas neither Ca2+ channel antagonists (verapamil and nifedipine) nor a nonselective cation channel blocker (flufenamic acid) had an effect. These results suggest that tBOOH may increase intracellular Ca2+ through the activation of reverse mode of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. However, tBOOH decreased intracellular Na+ concentration, which was completely prevented by NAC. These results indicate that ROI generated by tBOOH may increase intracellular Ca2+ concentration by direct activation of the reverse mode of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, rather than indirect elevation of intracellular Na+ levels. Taken together, these results suggest that the oxidant, tBOOH induced apoptosis in human HepG2 cells and that intracellular Ca2+ may mediate this action of tBOOH. These results further suggest that Na+/Ca2+ exchanger may be a target for the management of oxidative hepatotoxicity.
