| Abstract | The present study explored the protective effects of glutamine (Gln), alanine (Ala), citrulline (Cit) and proline (Pro) on hydroxyl radical (·OH)-induced apoptosis in isolated carp erythrocytes. Hydroxyl radicals were generated by ferrous ion (Fe(2+))-mediated decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) (Fenton reaction). In order to select an optimal ·OH concentration to induce apoptosis, cultures were treated with different concentrations of FeSO(4)/H(2)O(2) (0 µM/0 µM-50 µM/25 µM). The results showed that exposure to FeSO(4)/H(2)O(2) (0 µM/0 µM-40 µM/20 µM) increased apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, apoptosis was at its highest level at 40 µM FeSO(4)/20 µM H(2)O(2). We then examined the cytoprotective effects of Gln, Ala, Cit, Pro or the combination of Ala, Cit and Pro under conditions of apoptosis. Carp erythrocytes were treated with the substances listed above in the presence of 40 µM FeSO(4)/20 µM H(2)O(2) for 9 h. The controls were grown in Gln, Ala, Cit, Pro-free culture medium. The results showed that Gln, Ala, Cit, Pro and the combination of Ala, Cit and Pro effectively protected against annexin binding, decrease of forward scatter and DNA fragmentation in carp erythrocytes induced by ·OH. Furthermore, Gln, Ala, Cit, Pro and the combination of Ala, Cit and Pro effectively blocked ·OH-stimulated erythrocyte hemolysis, reduced the increase of superoxide anion and H(2)O(2) concentrations, inhibited the formation of malondialdehyde, protein carbonyls and met-hemoglobin, and prevented the decrease of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities and glutathione content in carp erythrocytes induced by ·OH. In addition, the results suggest that the combination of Ala, Cit and Pro produces a greater anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative effect than their individual effects at the same concentrations. Taken together, the results showed that ·OH induces apoptosis and oxidative damage in carp erythrocytes. In addition to inhibiting apoptosis, Gln, Ala, Cit, Pro and the combination of Ala, Cit and Pro protected carp erythrocytes against oxidative damage induced by ·OH, which may be a major factor in the protection of erythrocytes from apoptosis. |

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.
