“…Qu has also been reported to induce catalase activity in studies investigating ROS; catalase activity was reduced in a 3-nitropropionic acid-induced mice model of Huntington's disease, whereas treatment with Qu reversed the reduced catalase activity in the model (29). In a toxicology study, the co-administration of Qu with chromium led to significantly enhanced expression of catalase in mice compared with that in mice administered with chromium alone (30).…”

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis is maintained at a higher level in cancer cells, which promotes tumorigenesis. Oxidative stress induced by anticancer drugs may further increase ROS to promote apoptosis, but can also enhance the metastasis of cancer cells. The effects of ROS homeostasis on cancer cells remain to be fully elucidated. In the present study, the effect of a reduction in manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) on the migration and invasion of A431 cells was investigated. Our previous micro-assay data revealed that the mRNA expression of MnSOD was higher in the invasive A431-III cell line compared with that in the parental A431 cell line (A431-P). In the present study, high protein levels of MnSOD and H 2 O 2 production were observed in A431-III cells; however, catalase protein levels were significantly lower in A431-III cells compared with those in the A431-P cell line. The knockdown of MnSOD increased H 2 O 2 levels, enzyme activity, the mRNA levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1, -2 and -9, and the migratory and invasive abilities of the cells. Inducing a reduction in H 2 O 2 using diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) and N-acetyl-l-cysteine decreased the migratory abilities of the cell lines, and DPI attenuated the migratory ability that had been increased by MnSOD small interfering RNA knockdown. Luteolin (Lu) and quercetin (Qu) increased the expression of catalase and reduced H 2 O 2 levels, but without an observed change in the protein levels of MnSOD. Taken together, these data suggest that reduced MnSOD may induce ROS imbalance in cells and promote the metastatic ability of cancer cells. Lu and Qu may attenuate these processes and may be promising potential anticancer agents.

Effect of Chromium on Glutathione-S-Transferase and Catalase Activity and their Respective Gene Expressions in the Brain Tissue of F1 Generation Mice Following Prenatal Exposure: Modulation by Quercetin

Abstract: Background: The increased use of Cr in several anthropogenic activities and subsequent contamination of water and soil is an increasing concern worldwide. It has also recently drawn attention for its widespread use in dietary supplements.
