| Abstract | To demonstrate the superoxide anion (O(2)(-)) scavenging activity of thiamine, we comparatively investigated the inhibition of cell growth reduction and repression of the oxidative stress-inducible gene expression (soxS, sodA, zwf and soi-19::lacZ) triggered by paraquat, intracellular O(2)(-) generator, using an Escherichia coli system. When thiamine (>1 µM) was added to the culture, a decrease of growth rate caused by paraquat was significantly recovered. Paraquat treatment (1 µM) to aerobically grown E. coli highly increased the expression of soxS and its regulons sodA and zwf, genes for manganese-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) to cope with the oxidative stress. However, the induction of Mn-SOD and G6PDH was suppressed by the thiamine supplement. The induction of the soi-19::lacZ gene, whose expression was dependent on paraquat, was also repressed by more than 10 µM of the thiamine addition to the culture. To characterize the role of thiamine, which challenges the paraquat toxicity, an in vitro experiment of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction was performed. The NBT reduction by O(2)(-) generated in the xanthine/hypoxanthine system was inhibited by the thiamine supplement in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, it competed with the 2-deoxy-d-ribose in absorbing the hydroxyl radical (OH) generated by γ-irradiation (800 Gy) and thus inhibited the formation of malondialdehyde in vitro. In conclusion, this evidence suggests that thiamine may partly act as an antioxidant to scavenge O(2)(-) (or OH) directly and thus affect the cellular response to oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
