Hydrogen peroxide stimulates rat colonic prostaglandin production and alters electrolyte transport.

Abstract: The changes in short circuit current (electrogenic a-secretion) of rat colon brought about by xanthine/xanthine oxidase in the Ussing chamber were inhibited by catalase and diethyldithiocarbamate, but not by superoxide dismutase. These results, the reproduction of the response with glucose/glucose oxidase and with exogenous H202, and the lack of effect of preincubation with deferoxamine or thiourea implicate H202, and not 02 or OH, as the important reactive oxygen metabolite altering intestinal electrolyte tra… Show more

“…Our experimental design generated ϳ30 M/min O 2 Ϫ ⅐ and 80 M H 2 O 2 (measured after 20 min of incubation). This concentration is similar to that of another study in which ROS altered colonic electrolyte transport in rats (16).…”

“…The combination of XA (10 Ϫ4 M) and XO (10 mU/ml) that we used in our study produces O 2 Ϫ ⅐ (22), which spontaneously dismutates to H 2 O 2 (16). We confirmed generation of both ROS species by using cytochrome c and TMB, respectively.…”

“…ROS also stimulate a cytoprotective response that includes an increase in the production of PGE 2 , which in turn generates scavengers of free radicals such as SOD and catalase. Furthermore, by increasing the synthesis of PGE 2 , H 2 O 2 causes muscle contraction through the activation of PKC and MAPK (15,18,24,27,31). The mechanisms whereby ROS stimulate the cPLA 2 -PGE 2 pathway are unknown.…”
