Propofol Attenuates Peroxynitrite-mediated DNA Damage and Apoptosis in Cultured Astrocytes

Abstract: The antioxidant properties of propofol can be partially attributed to its scavenging effect on peroxynitrite as well as to its ability to increase HO-1 expression at higher concentrations, a property that might be relevant to neuroprotection during anesthesia.

“…Indeed, propofol has been shown to significantly increase heme oxygenase production in astrocytes and astroglial cells. 27,28 Heme oxygenase is a molecule with antioxidant properties that has been demonstrated to play a critical role in intestinal ischemic preconditioning that mediates protection against intestinal mucosal injury and the subsequent systemic inflammatory response. 29,30 Therefore, propofol may have initiated a preconditioning-like effect that is characterized by an increase of the endogenous antioxidant defenses, such as the increase of heme oxygenase and SOD activities.…”

“…To monitor cell viability, the cells were plated at 8x10 3 cells per well of a 96-multiwell flat-bottomed 200 µl microplate (24). The optical density of each well sample was measured with a microplate spectrophotometer reader (Titertek Multiskan, Flow Laboratories, Helsinki, Finland) at λ=570 nm.…”

“…Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was measured to evaluate the presence of cell necrosis as a result of cell disruption, subsequent to membrane rupture. LDH activity was measured spectrophotometrically in the culture medium and in the cellular lysates, at λ=340 nm by analyzing NADH consumption (24).…”

“…Isoflurane (ISF) and sevoflurane are the most used inhaled halogenated anaesthetics. The introduction of ISF (2-chloro-2-(difluoromethoxy)-1,1,1-trifluoro-ethane) in clinical practice has represented an advance for inhalation anaesthesia, due to its low metabolism rate and low blood-gas partition coefficient, which decreases its induction and recovery times (6). The ISF is metabolized by CYP2E1 enzyme, generating an intermediate that can decompose into reactive metabolites, or the intermediate trifluoroacetyl ester.…”
