摘要
The cytotoxicities of the nitric oxide (NO) donors, S-nitroso-N-acetylpencillamine (SNAP) and three glyco-SNAPs, glucose-1-SNAP, glucose-2-SNAP, and fructose-1-SNAP, towards the human gingival epithelioid S-G cell line and three human carcinoma cell lines derived from tissues of the oral cavity were compared using the neutral red (NR) assay. In general, the glucose-SNAPs were more cytotoxic than SNAP, which, in turn, was mol-e cytotoxic than fructose-1-SNAP. Further studies focused on the response of S-G cells to glucose-2-SNAP. The cytotoxicity of glucose-2-SNAP was attributed to NO, as glucose-2-SNAP (t1/2 = 20 h at 28 degreesC) aged for 4 days was nontoxic, toxicity was eliminated in the presence of hydroxocobalamin, a specific NO scavenger, and toxicity was not noted with glucose-2-AP (the parent compound used to construct glucose-2-SNAP). Exposure of cells to glucose-2-SNAP resulted in a lessening of the intracellular level of glutathione and cells pretreated with the glutathione-depleter, 1,3-bis(chloroethyl)- l-nitrosourea, were more sensitive to a subsequent challenge with glucose-2-SNAP. Cytotoxicity of glucose-2-SNAP was lessened upon coexposure with the antioxidants, myricetin, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, and L-ascorbic acid. S-G cells exposed to glucose-2-SNAP exhibited bi- and multinucleation. Death of S-G cells exposed to glucose-2-SNAP apparently occurred by apoptosis, as demonstrated with fluorescence microscopy by the appearance of brightly stained, hypercondensed chromatin in spherical cells and of membrane blebbing and by the DNA-ladder of oligonucleosome-length fragments noted with gel electrophoresis. In comparison with other classes of NO donors the sequence of toxicity towards S-G cells was S-nitrosoglutathione > glucose-SNAPs > SNAP, sodium nitroprusside > spermine NONOate > DPTA NONOate > DETA NONOate > fructose-1-SNAP > > SIN-1.
