The effects of five antioxidants (catalase, superoxide dismutase, dimethyl sulfoxide, glutathione and diallyl sulfide) on this oxidative nuclear damage were also investigated. At the 0.05 level for statistical significance, iron induced concentration-dependent DNA degradation, and this effect was enhanced by ascorbate and bleomycin. The antioxidants catalase, dimethyl sulfoxide, and diallyl sulfide significantly reduced the iron-ascorbate-induced DNA damage, whereas superoxide dismutase and dimethyl sulfoxide significantly reduced iron-bleomycin-induced damage. Glutathione significantly increased the iron-bleomycin-induced DNA damage. These results suggest that the reactive oxygen species generated by iron, iron-ascorbate, and iron-bleomycin are responsible for the DNA strand breaks in isolated rat liver nuclei.展开更多

The protein expression profiles of liver tissues were acquired by fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) that incorporated a pooled internal standard and reverse fluorescent labeling method. The expression levels of 27 protein spots showed significant changes in acute rejection rats. Among these spots, 19 were identified with peptide mass fingerprinting using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) after tryptic in-gel digestion. The results of the present paper could be helpful for our better understanding of allograft rejection in organ transplantation.展开更多
