Insulinoma cells in culture show pronounced sensitivity to alloxan-induced oxidative stress

Abstract: SummaryIn a model system of cultured J-774 cells we have previously shown that alloxan in moderate concentrations is toxic only in the presence of a reducing agent with the production of hydrogen peroxide. The cytotoxicity was found to involve lysosomal destabilization. In the present study the cytotoxic effects of (i) alloxan alone, (ii) a combination of alloxan and cysteine or (rio hydrogen peroxide were investigated in two established insulinoma cell lines (HIT-T15 and RINm5F), and compared with the effects… Show more

“…In agreement with others, Alloxan intake was associated with generation of reactive oxygen species (i.e., increased malondialdehyde and decrease Glutathione levels) (Zhang et al, 1995;Beisswenger et al, 2005;Hakim and Pflueger, 2010;Bandeira Sde et al, 2012;Rahigude et al, 2012;Shodehinde and Oboh, 2013). Oxidative stress induces renal damage through several mechanisms.…”

“…In previous studies on HIT, RIN, and several other types of cells, we have shown that oxidative stress induces cell degeneration due to lysosomal labilization and leakage of damaging lysosomal contents into the cytosol. Since lysosomal labilization, as well as cellular degeneration and death, could be largely prevented by initially allowing the cells to endocytose the potent iron-chelator desferrioxamine, and transport it to their acidic vacuolar apparatus, the effects seem to be dependent on the intralysoso-ma1 presence of iron in low-molecular-weight, redox-active form (6,47,49,52).…”
