Same solvents of the each reagent were used as control.Results:There was no enzyme activity inhibition observed at 0.10 mM artemther:obivious inhibition for lactate oxidation reaction and pyruvate reduction reaction were detected at 0.002 mM and 0.004 mM of hemin,respectively: comparing with that of the control（P【0.05）.The relative enzymatic activity inhibitions for pyruvate reduction reaction and lactate oxidation reaction at 0.02 mM hemin were 93.48%and 100.00%,respectively,comparing with that of the control（P【0.01）:both pyruvate reduction and lactate oxidation reaction were inhibited completely at 0.50 mM Fe<sup>3+</sup>,comparing with that of the control（P【0.01）.Conclusions:The results implied that SjLDH was not the direct molecular target of artemether.Hemin and Fe are inhibitors of SjLDH.展开更多

Rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: sham-operated group, CRF group, ferrous gluconate group and hemin group. At the 10th week after operation, serum creatinine, BUN, RBC, HGB and HCT were measured. Renal pathologic changes were observed. RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression and distribution of HO-1. RT-PCR and radioimmunoassay was used to determine the expression of ET-1 in the kidney and plasma. The results showed that as compared with CRF group, serum creatinine and BUN in hemin group were reduced significantly and nephrogenic anemia was improved markedly. Glomerular mesangial proliferation and interstitial lesion were also ameliorated significantly. Hemin not only increased the expression of HO-1 but also reduced the expression of ET-1 in the kidney. The level of ET-1 protein in the plasma was also reduced after hemin treatment. Most of these indexes were not obviously changed in ferrous gluconate group. It was suggested that through inducing the expression of HO-1 and reducing the level of ET-1 in the kidney and plasma, hemin plays an important protective role in 5/6 subtotal nephrectomized rats.展开更多

In order to avoid the carcinogenic risks in anaerobic-aerobic biological process for wastewater containing azo dyes, a hemin based biomimetic oxidative degradation of azo dyes was developed. Acid orange 7 (AO7) was selected as the model for azo dye and the high efficient degradation was achieved in hemin/H2O2 system at pH 11.0. Degradation could be described by a pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The order of dependence on H2O2 concentration was significantly larger than that of hemin. Coexisting anions sulphate and chloride had little effect on the degradation, but reductive sulphite dramatically inhibited the degradation. The protic solvent 2-prophanol obviously promoted the degradation. Azo chromogenic group was destroyed quickly and some smaller intermediates formed. Active species oxoferryl porphyrin p-cation radical +PFeIV=O generated from heterolytic cleavage of O-O in H2O2 catalyzed by hemin play the main roles in degradation and reaction pathways were proposed.展开更多

The object of this study is to determine whether the glutathione system is involved in the antioxidant function of hemin. Hydrogen peroxide decreased the viability of the human leukemic monocyte lymphoma cell line U937. When these cells were pretreated with hemin before the addition of hydrogen peroxide, cell death was prevented. An inhibitor of heme oxygenase-1 or glutathione biosynthesis significantly abolished this protective effect of hemin. These results suggest that both heme oxygenase-1 and glutathione are involved in the protective effects of hemin against U937 cell death, which was induced by hydrogen peroxide. Hemin induced an increase in glutathione levels following the upregulation of the gene expression and protein levels of glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit. The inhibitor of heme oxigenase-1 inhibited the upregulation of glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit expression. These results suggest that hemin induces glutathione synthesis through heme oxygenase-1 activation to protect cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress.展开更多
