19049974 Maity P, Bindu S, Dey S, Goyal M, Alam A, Pal C, Mitra K, Bandyopadhyay U: Indomethacin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, develops gastropathy by inducing reactive oxygen species-mediated mitochondrial pathology and associated apoptosis in gastric mucosa: a novel role of mitochondrial aconitase oxidation. J Biol Chem. 2009 Jan 30;284(5):3058-68. Epub 2008 Dec 2.


The scavengers also restore indomethacin-induced activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 to block mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and gastric mucosal damage.

Importantly, SBHA treatment resulted in an increase in protein levels of p21 (CIP1/WAF1), p27 (KIP1), cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase and concomitant with a decrease in cyclin D1 and cyclin B1, indicating that the growth inhibition was due to both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Furthermore, receptor inhibition was associated with increased VEGFR2 expression 5 days after injury (P <0.05) and increased spectrin cleavage with a shift in favor of the calpain-mediated, caspase-3-independent cleavage (P <0.01).

METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 300-350 g were randomly divided into five groups: a control group (sham surgery), a SAH group, a SAH+dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group, a SAH + PFT-alpha (0.2 mg/kg) group and a SAH + PFT-alpha (2.0 mg/kg) group.
Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect the levels of p53, PUMA and caspase-3 protein.

METHODS: The cell survival rate, the morphological variation of BEAS-2B cells, the apoptosis rate, the expression levels of gene caspase-3 and the ROS generation level were measured by using trypan blue phagocytosis, hematoxylin and eosin staining, oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation assay, FCM, RT-PCR and fluorescent probe DCFH-DA in the suspension (0, 5, 10, 20, 100 and 200 microg/cm (2)) and the filtrate (0, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600 microg/ml) of chrysotile fibers.

Estrogen treatment reduced COX-2 activity, blocked nuclear factor-kappaB translocation, prevented glial reactivity, attenuated neuron death, inhibited activation and activity of calpain and caspase-3, decreased axonal damage, reduced myelin loss in the lesion and penumbra, and improved locomotor function compared with vehicle-treated animals.
