摘要
Oxidative stress can initiate programmed cell death and contributes to the patho-physiology of a number of diseases. Low micromolar to millimolar concentrations of various antioxidants or free radical scavengers promote cell growth and reduce cellular suicide induced by several functionally distinct agents, including some known to produce oxidative stress. Severe anoxia or inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation also initiate programmed cell death. These results seem paradoxical. In order to compare the response of U937 monoblastoid cells to higher concentrations of an antioxidant or a free radical-spin trap, cells were cultured with 20-80 mu M concentrations of butylated hydroxy-toluene or with 5 to 60 mM concentrations of the free radical spin trap, N-tertiary butyl phenyl-nitrone. At these concentrations, both agents inhibited cellular proliferation and induced oligosomic DNA, detected by its 'laddering' after electrophoresis on agarose, confirmed by TUNEL (BHT) or flow cytometric (NTBN) evidence of hypodiploid DNA and ultrastructural evidence of a type 1 programmed cell death. The ability of hydroxy-toluenes to oxidize DNA and promote carcinogenesis and whether free radical spin traps could augment or interfere with the response of malignantly transformed cells to chemotherapy or ionizing radiation provide the raison d'etre of these studies.
