- Abstract
Cigarette smoking condensate (CSC) contains oxidant compounds able to generate superoxide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the exposure to CSC on: (1) free radical production, (2) the gene expression of the antioxidant enzymes Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1), Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD2), Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT), and (3) cell survival in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. The results showed that exposure (24 h) to different concentrations (10-150 μg/ml) of CSC caused a dose dependent cell injury that was coupled to the maximal increase of free radical production. These events were prevented by the addition to the incubation medium of the scavenger Vitamin E (50 μM). Furthermore, CSC exposure caused a reduction of the gene expression of the antioxidant enzymes SOD1, SOD2, GPx, and CAT that was counteracted by Vitamin E (50 μM). These results suggest that CSC exposure can induce a free radical overcharge that may be responsible for the inhibition of antioxidant enzymes expression and cell injury in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. In fact the scavenger vitamin E can block both cell injury and inhibition of SOD1, SOD2, GPx, and CAT induced by CSC exposure.
