Protein tyrosine nitration has been identified as a biomarker of oxidative stress, and the generation of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) is often accompanied with the increasing of ROS and RNS under pathologic condition [14].

Evidence 0f8afa2ceb

As shown in Fig. 5a, significant amount of 3-NT emerged in cultures following heme/H2O2/NO2 − treatment for 24 h (red staining), indicating the strongest nitrative stress level.

Evidence c895abedbd

The carbonyl contents (Fig. 4a) and MDA level (Fig. 4c) from heme/H2O2/NO2 −-treated cells were the highest under all conditions.

Evidence 54c64e5e70

Whereas at the doses of 3, 4, and 5 μM, heme significantly reduced the viability of cells, which was in agreement with an earlier study [1].

Evidence 9035689cb7

Malondialdehyde (MDA) represents evidence of systemic oxidative stress and inflammation [31], and is commonly used to estimate the level of lipid peroxidation.

Evidence 78659ad6b3

The result showed that cell viability loss in a GO dose-dependent manner, and 1.5 mU mL−1 GO induced approximately 15% cell death after 24 h of treatment (Fig. 2b).

Evidence c447be4d09

Apoptosis has been found to be a major rout for the elimination of cells after a variety of stresses including ROS and RNS [30].

Evidence d6f16ec394

This result suggested that tyrosine residues of BSA may play an important role in heme detoxification.

Evidence cae801c5ba

As illustrated in Fig. 2d, the loss of viability by heme/H2O2 and heme/H2O2/NO2 − was approximately 53 ± 3.8% and 65 ± 4.5%, respectively, which further confirmed that NO2 − dramatically enhances heme/ H2O2 toxicity.This result is well consistent with previous reports [3, 13].

Evidence 44cf27eca7

As shown in Fig. 2d, heme/H2O2/ NO2−-induced loss of cell viability was significantly attenuated by BSA or BSA-T pretreatment, and BSA was more effective than BSA-T.

Evidence 99ad2da821

Figure 3a depicts the morphology of SHSY5Y cells after treated with various conditions. Compared with heme/H2O2 treatment, cells exposing to heme/ H2O2/NO2 − exacerbated cell apoptotic and reduced cell yield.

Evidence 12b4a5b1cf

As quantified in Fig. 3c, although heme/H2O2/NO2 − increased the apoptotic rate to 32 ± 6.4%, BSA or BSA-T pretreatment caused a statistically significant reduced apoptotic rate (10 ± 5.0% and 15 ± 6.1%, respectively).

Evidence e67e45a22e

However, pretreatment with 2 μM BSA or BSA-T, we found that both BSA and BSA-T efficiently inhibited heme/H2O2/NO2 −- induced cell apoptotic and increased cell yields.

Evidence 9b29eb8363

Monzani et al. [10] also concluded that the heme-SA complex promotes H2O2 activation processes that bear the characteristics of enzymatic reactions and may have biological relevance.

Evidence d3489918b2

Serum albumin (SA) can act as the heme scavenger by forming heme-SA complex [2, 4–8].

Evidence 3c7fe408a1

Both BSA and BSA-T attenuated heme/H2O2/NO2 −-induced protein carbonylation and lipid peroxidation.

Evidence 48fe6b234f

Of note, incubation with BSA or BSA-T for 24 h decreased heme/ H2O2/NO2 −-derived 3-NT deposits as compared with heme/ H2O2/NO2 − treatment alone, and BSA is more effective on suppressing the formation of 3-NT than BSA-T (Fig. 5b).

Evidence b6547ff747

Furthermore, the cytoprotective effect of BSA was stronger than that of BSA-T (Fig. 5), suggesting that tyrosine residues of BSA act as oxidation target to prevent other important protein from heme-induced RNS associated damage.

Evidence 3a6a7f9e3f

For this reason, it has been considered as a therapeutic tool to counteract heme toxic effects in severe hemolytic diseases, and the usefulness of SA therapy has already been demonstrated in a rat model of acute intracerebral hematoma [2, 9].
