Glutathione (GSH) is the principal antioxidant in the lens, and so supplementation with GSH would seem like an intuitive strategy to counteract oxidative stress there. However, the delivery of glutathione to the lens is fraught with difficulties, including the limited bioavailability of GSH caused by its rapid degradation, anatomical barriers of the anterior eye that result in insufficient delivery of GSH to the lens, and intracellular barriers within the lens that limit delivery of GSH to its different regions. Hence, more attention should be focused on alternative methods by which to enhance GSH levels in the lens. In this review, we focus on the following three strategies, which utilize the natural molecular machinery of the lens to enhance GSH and/or antioxidant potential in its different regions: the NRF2 pathway, which regulates the transcription of genes involved in GSH homeostasis; the use of lipid permeable cysteine-based analogues to increase the availability of cysteine for GSH synthesis; and the upregulation of the lens's internal microcirculation system, which is a circulating current of Na⁺ ions that drives water transport in the lens and with it the potential delivery of cysteine or GSH. The first two strategies have the potential to restore GSH levels in the epithelium and cortex, while the ability to harness the lens's internal microcirculation system offers the exciting potential to deliver and elevate antioxidant levels in its nucleus. This is an important distinction, as the damage phenotypes for age-related (nuclear) and diabetic (cortical) cataract indicate that antioxidant delivery must be targeted to different regions of the lens in order to alleviate oxidative stress. Given our increasing aging and diabetic populations it has become increasingly important to consider how the natural machinery of the lens can be utilized to restore GSH levels in its different regions and to afford protection from cataract.</p>","PeriodicalId":7984,"journal":{"name":"Antioxidants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505578/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142493396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have indicated that wavelengths between 400 and 455 nm are most harmful to aging retinal pigment epithelia (RPE). This study explored whether filtering these wavelengths can protect cells exposed to broad sunlight. Primary porcine RPE cells loaded with 20 µM A2E were exposed to emulated sunlight filtered through eye media at 1.8 mW/cm² for 18 h. Filters selectively filtering out light over 400-455 nm and a dark-yellow filter were interposed. Cell damage was measured by apoptosis, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Sunlight exposure increased apoptosis by 2.7-fold and H₂O₂ by 4.8-fold, and halved MMP compared to darkness. Eye Protect System^TM (EPS) technology, filtering out 25% of wavelengths over 400-455 nm, reduced apoptosis by 44% and H₂O₂ by 29%. The Multilayer Optical Film (MOF), at 80% of light filtered, reduced apoptosis by 91% and H₂O₂ by 69%, and increased MMP by 73%, overpassing the dark-yellow filter. Photoprotection increased almost linearly with blue-violet light filtering (400-455 nm) but not with total blue filtering (400-500 nm).

This study investigates the impact of astaxanthin supplementation on the physiological state of porcine ovarian granulosa cells cultured in vitro. Variations in morphology, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and the expression of apoptosis and anti-oxidation-related genes in porcine GCs from different passages were observed. Significant morphological changes, increases in apoptosis, and decreases in antioxidant capacity resulting from passage were observed. Subsequently, treatment with 5 μmol/L astaxanthin significantly enhanced cell viability, proliferation, antioxidant capacity and mitochondrial function while also regulating the estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) levels. Additionally, the gene expression of antioxidation, E2, and P4 synthesis markers was assessed, revealing reduced apoptosis and ROS levels in porcine GCs. In conclusion, supplementation with 5 μmol/L astaxanthin in vitro effectively enhances the physiological condition of porcine GCs and optimizes the culture system for these cells in vitro. Optimizing the culture system of porcine GCs in vitro can simulate the function of granulosa cells in vivo and provide a theoretical reference for further promoting follicular development, which is beneficial to improving sow fertility in actual production.</p>","PeriodicalId":7984,"journal":{"name":"Antioxidants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11504050/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142493295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ASD was intranasally administered to mice three times a week and silibinin was administered for 6 days by oral gavage. In ASD-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, silibinin treatment decreased tumor necrosis factor-α production and reduced the expression of p-p65NF-κB, p-p38, and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, while increasing heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression. In ASD-exposed mice, silibinin administration reduced inflammatory cell count and cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissue. Additionally, silibinin lowered oxidative stress, as evidenced by decreased 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosin (8-OHdG) expression and increased HO-1 expression. The expression of inflammatory-related proteins, including p-p65NF-κB, COX-2, and p-p38, was markedly reduced by silibinin administration. Overall, silibinin treatment reduced the expression of p-p65NF-κB, COX-2, and p-p38 in response to ASD exposure, while increasing HO-1 expression both in vitro and in vivo.
