| Abstract | Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) and oximes may interfere with other molecules than AChE in the living systems, affecting in this way various cellular processes and underlying mechanisms. These non-cholinergic effects may contribute to the clinical status in OP poisoning and therefore deserve equal scientific attention. Here, we investigated the effects of tabun and oxime K048 on the processes known to be involved in muscle response to the environmental factors, like IL-6 release and the regulation of the heat shock proteins (HSPs). While IL-6 stimulates muscle regeneration, which follows well known OP-induced myopathy, HSPs have cytoprotective effect against various stress factors including xenobiotics. All our experiments were carried out on cultured human myoblasts, as the precursors of muscle regeneration. We found unchanged AChE mRNA level after tabun/K048 treatment meaning that tabun and K048 did not interfere with the transcription or stability of this mRNA in the time period tested, even if AChE catalytic activity was significantly affected. On the other hand, after myoblast exposure to tabun, we observed significant changes in the protein levels of HSP 27 and in the secretion of IL-6. Namely, secretion of IL-6 decreased to 53% and the level of HSP 27 increased by 34% compared to the control level. Both effects were attenuated if myoblasts were pretreated with oxime K048, but not if they were treated with K048 after exposure to tabun. The molecular mechanism underlying these effects remains to be elucidated. However, it seems that these effects could be associated with OPs and oximes as a specific group of compounds rather than as a specific compound itself. Overall, the effects of OPs and oximes demonstrated here might play an important role in muscle regeneration which importantly determines the final outcome of OP myotoxicity. |

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.
