Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of sodium arsenite(NaAsO
2)on antioxidative ability in human keratinocytes(HaCaT).
Methods The fluo rescence in tensity of dichlorofluoresce in(DCF)was detected by flow cytometry.The malondia ldehyde(MDA)content was detected by improved thio-barbituric acid fluorometric method.Superoxide dismutase (SOD)activity was dete rmined by Nitrite-kit.The catalase(CAT)activity was determined by ultraviolet velocity direct method.
Results The fluorescence in tensity of DCF increased to 1.3,1.6,1.7,and 1.8 times of the control's in 215,10,and 20μmol/L NaAsO
2 treated groups,respectively(P<0.05).The MDA content increased to 1.1,1.4,1.5,and 2.2 time of the control's in 215,10,and 20μm o l/L NaAsO
2 treated groups,respectively(P<0.05).While the activity of SOD decreased to 78% and 61% of the control's in 10μmol/L and 20μmol/L NaAsO
2 groups.And CAT activity decreased to 50% and 34% of the control's in 10μmol/L and 20μmol/L NaAsO
2 groups.
Conclusion A rsenic can cause oxidative damage and decrease antioxidative ability in human keratinocytes.
