title: Oxidative damage to Ca2+-ATPase sarcoplasmic reticulum by HOCl and protective effect of some antioxidants.
abstract: Injury of rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) induced by hypochlorous acid (HOCl) was studied. HOCl inhibited Ca2+-ATPase activity in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50=100 micromol/l). The concentration of 13.5 micromol/l HOCl reduced the level of sulfhydryl (SH) groups by 50%, yet it did not influence the enzyme activity. In comparison with SH group oxidation and enzyme activity inhibition, a significantly longer time was necessary for the generation of protein carbonyls in SR injured by HOCl. Protective effects of some antioxidants (stobadine, trolox, EGb 761, Pycnogenol) were studied in SR oxidatively injured by HOCl. Trolox and EGb 761 exerted a protective effect on ATPase activity and on SH groups of SR oxidatively modified by HOCl. Stobadine and Pycnogenol inhibited markedly protein carbonyl formation. Stobadine was the only antioxidant able to scavenge HOCl. In conclusion, the protective effects of antioxidants against decrease of Ca2+-ATPase activity induced by HOCl might be caused by protection of SH groups. The compounds with both antioxidant and Ca2+-ATPase protecting effect offer dual defense against tissue damage occurring, e.g. in aging process.
