Abstract
Reduced glutathione, but not mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol, inhibits phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in desalted leaf extracts from Sedum praealtum D.C. The inhibition is more evident at low pH values (< 7.2) and becomes increasingly smaller at higher pH. In the presence of the inhibitor, the hyperbolic rate curve of night PEPC is transformed to sigmoid and the S0.5 is increased. When the enzyme is extracted during the day, the rate curve is sigmoid and it is not changed by the inhibitor, though the S0.5 is further increased. Oxidized glutathione is completely inactive. Levels of reduced glutathione in leaf tissue are distinctly higher in the light. A role of photosynthetically reduced glutathione in the regulation of PEPC in Crassulacean acid metabolism species appears probable.

Inhibitory effects of glutathione on dengue virus production

Abstract
Reduced glutathione (GSH) is the most powerful intracellular antioxidant and also involved in viral infections. The pathogenesis of dengue virus (DV) infection has not been completely clarified. This study investigated the relationship between DV serotype 2 (DV2) infections and host intracellular GSH content. Results showed infection with DV2 resulted in a decrease in intracellular GSH, which caused NF-κB activation and increased DV2 production. Supplemental GSH significantly inhibited activation of NF-κB, resulting in a decreased production of DV2 in HepG2 cells. Furthermore, high activity of NF-κB and increased production of DV2 was observed in HepG2 cells treated with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of GSH synthesis. In conclusion, DV2 infection could reduce host intracellular GSH concentration and benefited from this process. Supplemental GSH could inhibit viral production, indicating GSH might be valuable in the prevention and treatment of DV2 infection.

Dengue virus, Redox stage, GSH, NF-κB

Abstract

The UW solution for preservation of the liver, kidney, and pancreas contains a number of components, and the importance of each of these has not been fully resolved. In the studies reported here the importance of glutathione and adenosine is demonstrated in isolated cell models (rabbit renal tubules and rat liver hepatocytes) of hypothermic preservation and reperfusion and in dog renal transplantation. Glutathione in the UW solution is necessary for the preservation of the capability of the cell to regenerate ATP and maintain membrane integrity. Adenosine in the UW solution provides the preserved cell with substrates for the regeneration of ATP during the reperfusion period following cold storage. The omission of GHS from the UW solution results in poorer renal function in the 48 hr dog kidney preservation-transplant model. The role of other components of the UW solution is discussed including lactobionic acid; other impermeants; and the colloid, hydroxyethyl starch. It is concluded that the development of improved preservation solutions will require a more detailed understanding of the mechanism of injury due to cold storage and, once obtained, solutions more complex than the UW solution may be required for improved long-term storage of organs.

Background
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role as antigen-presenting cells in the immune system. There is growing evidence that the redox equilibrium of these cells influences their ability to induce T-cell activation and to regulate the polarity of the immune response. This could affect the outcome of the immune response during systemic diseases and aging.

Methods
We looked at the effect of glutathione depletion by diethyl maleate in DCs as well as during systemic administration on the DTH response to the contact-sensitizing antigens, oxazolone, and 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene. We also determined whether glutathione repletion with N-acetyl cysteine could influence the decline of the DTH response in aged mice.

Results
Glutathione depletion in bone marrow–derived DCs interfered in their ability to mount a DTH response on adoptive transfer into recipient mice. Glutathione depletion interfered in IL-12 production and costimulatory receptor expression in DCs, leading to decreased IFN-γ production in the skin of recipient mice. Systemic diethyl maleate treatment exerted similar effects on the DTH response and IFN-γ production, whereas N-acetyl cysteine administration reversed the decline of the DTH response in aged animals.

結果
骨髓來源的DC中的穀胱甘肽耗竭會干擾它們在過繼轉移到受體小鼠中時引起DTH反應的能力。穀胱甘肽耗竭會干擾DCIL-12的產生和共刺激受體的表達,從而導致受體小鼠皮膚中IFN-γ的產生減少。全身性馬來酸二乙酯治療對DTH反應和IFN-γ產生具有相似的作用,而N-乙酰半胱胺酸的給藥可以逆轉衰老動物DTH反應的下降。

Conclusion
Glutathione depletion downregulates TH1 immunity through a perturbation of DC maturation and IL-12 production.

Clinical implications
These data show that the induction of oxidative stress in the immune system, under disease conditions and aging, interferes in TH1 immunity.

Oxidative stress is a state of redox disequilibrium that is defined as a depletion of intracellular glutathione and an accumulation of glutathione disulfide. A decline of the cellular glutathione/glutathione disulfide ratio initiates a series of biological responses that are relevant to normal physiology as well as the pathophysiology of disease. According to the hierarchical oxidative stress hypothesis, low levels of oxidative stress initiate cellular antioxidant responses through nuclear factor-erythroid 2 (NF-E2)–related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated phase II enzyme (eg, catalase and superoxide dismutase) expression.1 At higher levels of oxidative stress, activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase and NF-κB signaling cascades culminate in proinflammatory effects, whereas at the highest level of oxidative stress, interference in mitochondrial function leads to ATP depletion and programmed cell death.1 This dynamic interplay between protective and injurious oxidative stress responses could modulate the immune response in asthma, AIDS, diabetes mellitus, contact dermatitis, and cancer.2,  3,  4,  5,  6 Moreover, several of the biological effects of aging have been ascribed to altered redox equilibrium and generation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROSs).6

Oxidative stress is of key importance in the effector as well as the induction phases of the immune response.5,  6,  7 It is well known that immune activation generates inflammatory states in which ROS production by immune cells contributes to protective as well as tissue damaging effects. Less appreciated is that ROS and oxidative stress also regulate the induction of the immune response by controlling signal transduction pathways in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and lymphocytes.8 ROSs not only regulate T-cell activation but also interfere in the polarity of the immune response as evidenced by the finding that oxidative stress favors TH2 skewing of the immune response while suppressing TH1 differentiation.8,  9 Accordingly, glutathione depletion in vivo results in lowered TH1 but increased TH2 responses, whereas glutathione repletion has the opposite effect.8 The elucidation of the mechanisms by which oxidative stress changes APC function is of key importance in studying the pathophysiology of disease as well as understanding immune senescence.8,  9,  10
Although under disease conditions it is difficult to regulate the level of oxidative stress independent from pathological events, it is experimentally possible to obtain glutathione depletion with the thiol-alkylating agent, diethyl maleate (DEM).11 We used this agent to treat dendritic cells (DCs) ex vivo as well as deplete glutathione levels in mice to study the effects of oxidative stress on the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response and cytokine profiles in the skin. Adjustable levels of oxidative stress could be achieved in DCs as well as the lymph nodes and spleens of DEM-treated animals. Glutathione depletion interferes in the expression of costimulatory receptors and IL-12 production in bone marrow–derived DCs (BM-DCs), making these cells less capable of supporting a DTH response and TH1 immunity after adoptive transfer in vivo. DEM also interfered in DTH responses in intact animals, whereas the glutathione precursor, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), reversed the decline in the DTH response in aged mice.

Abstract
Previously a high blood glutathione level was correlated with long life span in the mouse and rat and in healthy elderly human beings. This raised the question of whether low glutathione levels occur in unhealthy subjects. To this end, 74 consecutive patients newly admitted to the hospital, with ages ranging from 21 to 89 years and diagnosed with chronic diseases, were studied along with 32 healthy control subjects. Blood samples were analyzed for reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione with a high-performance liquid chromatography-dual electrochemical method. The data were integrated with the clinical diagnoses and statistically analyzed. Marked total glutathione decreases from the control levels occurred in over 36% of the patients with chronic diseases including cancer and genitourinary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal diseases (P < .001). The deficit was due to low GSH concentrations and not to GSSG, which was the same as that in the control subjects. The conclusion is that a decrease in GSH is a risk factor for chronic diseases that may be used to monitor the severity and progress of the diseases. Future work is necessary to elucidate the mechanism of action.

以前,高穀胱甘肽水平與小鼠和大鼠以及健康老年人的壽命長有關。這就提出了一個問題,即在不健康的受試者中是否發生了低穀胱甘肽水平。為此,與32名健康對照受試者一起研究了74名新入院的連續患者,年齡在2189歲之間,並被診斷出患有慢性疾病。使用高效液相色譜-雙電化學方法分析血樣中的還原型(GSH)和氧化型(GSSG)穀胱甘肽。數據與臨床診斷整合併進行統計分析。超過36%的慢性疾病患者(包括癌症和泌尿生殖系統,胃腸道,心血管和肌肉骨骼疾病)的總穀胱甘肽水平明顯低於對照組(P <.001)。缺乏症是由於GSH濃度低而不是GSSG引起的,與對照組相同。結論是,穀胱甘肽降低是慢性疾病的危險因素,可用於監測疾病的嚴重程度和進展。為了闡明作用機理,未來的工作是必要的。

Abstract
Patients with Barrett’s esophagus, wherein squamous epithelium has been replaced by columnar epithelium, have an increased risk for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma as compared to the general population. Glutathione S-transferase (GST), a family of detoxification enzymes consisting of class alpha, mu, pi, and theta isoforms, is involved in detoxification of carcinogens and low levels of these enzymes correlated with high cancer risk. We have now compared GST enzyme activity, GST isoenzyme composition and glutathione (GSH) content of Barrett’s mucosa with that of adjacent normal squamous epithelium. Biopsy specimens of 98 patients with Barrett’s esophagus were taken from both Barrett’s and adjacent normal squamous epithelium. GST enzyme activity towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene was measured, and GST isoenzyme levels were determined by densitometrical analyses of western blots after immunodetection with monoclonal antibodies. Total GSH content was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography after conjugation with monobromobimane. Wilcoxon’s signed rank test and Spearman correlation analyses were used for statistical evaluation. As compared with adjacent normal squamous epithelium, GST enzyme activity in Barrett’s epithelium was reduced by 35%, and GST mu, GST pi and GSH levels were reduced by 24%, 30%, and 63%, respectively. However, the minor GST alpha and GST theta levels were higher in Barrett’s epithelium (by 625% and 33%, respectively). High levels of GSH and GSTs in general are correlated with protection against cellular or cytogenetic damage. The observed reduction in GSTs and GSH in Barrett’s epithelium may therefore contribute to the increased cancer risk in this tissue.

與普通人群相比,Barrett食管患者的鱗狀上皮已被柱狀上皮所代替,患食管腺癌的風險增加。穀胱甘肽S-轉移酶(GST)是由α,mupitheta亞型組成的排毒酶家族,與致癌物的排毒有關,這些酶的水平低與癌症風險高相關。現在,我們比較了Barrett粘膜與鄰近正常鱗狀上皮的GST酶活性,GST同工酶組成和穀胱甘肽(GSH)含量。取自Barrett食管和鄰近正常鱗狀上皮的98Barrett食管患者的活檢標本。測量了對1--2,4-二硝基苯的GST酶活性,並在用單克隆抗體免疫檢測後通過western印蹟的光密度分析確定了GST同工酶水平。在與一溴二苯胺偶聯後,通過高效液相色譜法測定總GSH含量。Wilcoxon的符號秩檢驗和Spearman相關分析用於統計評估。與鄰近的正常鱗狀上皮相比,巴雷特上皮中的GST酶活性降低了35%,GST muGST piGSH含量分別降低了24%,30%和63%。但是,巴雷特上皮中的次要GSTαGST theta水平較高(分別為625%和33%)。通常,高水平的GSHGST與防止細胞或細胞遺傳學損害相關。因此,觀察到的Barrett上皮中GSTGSH的減少可能導致該組織中癌症風險的增加。
