| Abstract | The present paper is focused on zinc(II) treatment effects on prostatic cell lines PC-3 (tumour) and PNT1A (non-tumour). Oxidative status of cells was monitored by evaluation of expression of metallothionein (MT) isoforms 1A and 2A at the mRNA and protein level, glutathione (oxidised and reduced), and intracellular zinc(II) after exposition to zinc(II) treatment at concentrations of 0–150 μM using electrochemical methods, western blotting and fluorescent microscopy. A novel real-time impedance-based growth monitoring system was compared with widely used end-point MTT assay. Impedance-based IC50 for zinc(II) is 55.5 and 150.8 μM for PC-3 and PNT1A, respectively. MTT-determined IC50 are >1.3-fold higher. Impedance-based viability correlates with viable count (r > 0.92; p < 0.03), not with MTT. Two-fold lower intracellular zinc(II) in the tumour PC-3 cell line was found. After zinc(II) treatment >2.6-fold increase of intracellular zinc(II) was observed in non-tumour PNT1A and in tumour PC-3 cells. In PC-3 cells, free and bound zinc(II) levels were enhanced more markedly as compared to PNT1A. PNT1A produced 4.2-fold less MT compared to PC3. PNT1A cells showed a 4.8-fold increase trend (r = 0.94; p = 0.005); PC-3 did show a significant trend at MT1 and MT2 protein levels (r = 0.93; p = 0.02) with nearly ten-fold increase after 100 μM zinc(II) treatment. In terms of redox state, PNT1A had a predominance of reduced GSH forms (GSH : GSSG ratio > 1), when exposed to zinc(II) compared to PC3, where predominance of oxidised forms remains at all concentrations. IC50 differs significantly when determined by MTT and real-time impedance-based assays due to dependence of impedance on cell morphology and adhesion. When real-time growth monitoring, precise electrochemical methods and fluorescent microscopy are performed together, accurate information for metal fluxes, their buffering by thiol compounds and monitoring of the redox state become a powerful tool for understanding the role of oxidative stress in carcinogenesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
