Objective To detect the combining capacity of peripheral blood NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)of arsenic-exposed residents in the coal-contaminated arsenism area in Guizhou with the sequence of downstream antioxidant response element (ARE) as well as antioxidase gene expression,and to provide a basis for in-depth revelation of arsenic oxidative damage mechanism to human body.Methods Jiaole and Changqing villages in coal-burning-borne arsenism areas in Xingren County of Guizhou were selected as the survey spots,and 161 cases of arsenic-exposed residents were selected as the arsenic exposed group on the basis of physical examination.They were divided into non-patient group (21 cases) and patient group (140 cases) according to the Diagnostic Criteria of Endemic Arsenism (WS/T 211-2001),and the patient group was further divided into mild hepatosis group (52 cases),moderately severe hepatosis group (36 cases) and non-apparent hepatosis group (52 cases) according to the Diagnostic Criteria of Occupational Chronic (GBZ 59-2010).Moreover,45 residents from one village neighboring to non-epidemic area were selected as controls.The hemocyte nucleoprotein was extracted from peripheral blood in the sampling subjects.The combining capacity of peripheral blood Nrf2-ARE was tested by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA),and the relative expression quantity of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase 1 (GSH-Pxl) mRNA was tested with real-time fluorescence quantification PCR (qPCR).Results The testing results of Nrf2-ARE combining capacity showed that the difference of Nrf2-ARE combining capacity between groups was statistically significant (F =116.033,P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control group (3.14 ± 1.34),the Nrf2-ARE combining capacity was higher in the non-apparent hepatosis group (5.17 ± 2.06),mild hepatosis group (13.13 ± 4.84) and moderately severe hepatosis group (32.35 ± 14.76,all P ＜ 0.05);compared with the non-patient group (5.15 ± 3.23) and non-apparent hepatosis group,the Nrf2-ARE combining capacity of mild hepatosis group and moderately severe hepatosis group was higher (all P ＜ 0.05);compared with mild hepatosis group,the Nrf2-ARE combining capacity of moderately severe hepatosis group was higher (P ＜ 0.05).The results of Cu/Zn-SOD and GSH-Pxl mRNA expression showed the relative expression quantities of Cu/Zn-SOD [Median (M):1.127 8,1.257 8,1.632 0] and GSH-Pxl (M:1.334 5,1.940 9,2.062 6) mRNA of non-apparent hepatosis,mild hepatosis,moderately severe hepatosis groups were higher than those of the control groups (M:0.961 8,0.884 3),respectively,and their differences were statistically significant (x2 =13.065,19.934,all P ＜ 0.05).The relative expression quantities of GSH-Pxl mRNA of mild hepatosis group and moderately severe hepatosis group were higher than that of the non-patient group (M:1.248 4),and their differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).The correlation analysis indicated the Nrf2-ARE combining capacity was positively related to the Cu/Zn-SOD and GSH-Px1 mRNA expression (r =0.271,0.292,all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The increase of Nrtf2-ARE combining capacity by arsenic participates is involved in the regulation of Nrf2 downstream antioxidase gene expression,and this process possibly participates in occurrence and development of coal-burning-borne arsenism and hepatic injury.

Objective To study the expression and enzyme activity of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) in liver and peripheral blood of human and rats exposed to airborne arsenic through coal-burning as well as its role in liver injury of coal-burning-borne arsenic poisoning.Methods This study was divided into 2 parts.Part 1 was a population study:133 local residents exposed to airborne arsenic through coal-burning were selected as arsenic exposure groups including a non-patient group (25 cases),no obvious hepatopathy group (38 cases),mild (43 cases) and moderate to severe hepatopathy groups (27 cases) from areas affected by endemic arsenism in Guizhou Province.Thirty-four healthy residents from arsenic not affected areas were selected as controls.Peripheral blood samples were collected from all these people.The expression of TrxR1 mRNA was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR),and enzyme activity of TrxR was tested by visible spectrophotometry.Part 2 was an animal experiment study:Thirty Wistar rats,weighing about 80-100 g,were divided into control group,drinking-waterborne arsenic poisoning group and coal-burning-borne arsenic poisoning group (including low,medium and high arsenic contaminated grain groups) by means of a table of random number according to body mass,6 rats in each group.The control group was fed with normal diet for 3 months; drinking-water-borne arsenic poisoning group and coal-burning-borne arsenic poisoning group were fed with 10 mg/kg As2O3 solution and different concentrations(25,50,100 mg/kg) of arsenic-containing feed,respectively,for 3 months.The expression of TrxR1 mRNA was determined by qPCR; protein expression level of TrxR1 in liver tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry,and enzyme activity of TrxR in serum and liver tissue was tested by visible spectrophotometry.Results The mRNA expressions of TrxR1 in peripheral blood were 1.599 8 (1.128 9-2.156 8),1.469 3 (1.146 1-1.976 3),1.203 6 (0.463 1-1.816 2) and 0.912 3(0.631 8-1.535 0),respectively,among non-patient group,no obvious hepatopathy group,mild and moderate to severe hepatopathy groups.Compared to the control group[1.649 7(1.161 1-2.380 2)],the differences were significant statistically in mild and moderate to severe hepatopathy groups (all P ＜ 0.05).The enzyme activity of TrxR in peripheral blood was (3.12 ± 0.76),(2.81 ± 0.84),(2.52 ± 0.73),(2.42 ± 0.76)U/ml,respectively,in those corresponding groups.Compared to the control group [(3.02 ± 0.70)U/ml],the differences were significant statistically in mild and moderate to severe hepatopathy groups (all P ＜ 0.05).The mRNA expressions of TrxR1 in peripheral blood were 1.05 ± 0.14,1.18 ± 0.18,1.04 ± 0.10 and 0.97 ± 0.13,respectively,among drinking-water-borne arsenic poisoning group,low,medium and high arsenic contaminated grain groups; all of which were lower than that in the control group (1.23 ± 0.15,all P ＜ 0.05) except that of the low arsenic contaminated grain group.The mRNA expressions of TrxR1 in liver tissue were 0.78± 0.10,0.83 ± 0.10,0.79 ± 0.09 and 0.77 ± 0.11,respectively; all of which were lower than that in the control group (0.94 ± 0.12,all P ＜ 0.05).The protein expression of TrxR1 in liver tissue was 310.33 ± 38.81,312.50 ± 23.36,305.67 ± 20.57 and 298.17 ± 23.52,respectively,among the arsenic poisoning groups; all of which were lower than that in the control group (348.50 ± 32.35,all P ＜ 0.05).The enzyme activity of TrxR in serum was (4.22 ± 0.73),(4.86 ± 0.63),(4.04 ± 0.57),(3.73 ± 0.64)U/ml,respectively; all of which were lower than that in the control group [(9.52 ± 1.08)U/ml,all P ＜ 0.05].The enzyme activity of TrxR in liver tissue was (14.82 ± 1.67),(18.76 ± 2.76),(14.90 ± 2.17),(11.55 ± 1.74) U/mg,respectively; all of which were lower than that in the control group [(23.71 ± 3.05)U/mg,all P ＜ 0.05].Conclusion Arsenic aggravates liver injury of coal-burning arsenic poisoning through down-regulating the expressions of TrxR1 mRNA and protein and reducing its enzyme activity as well.

In order to investigate whether defense genes PAL, LOX, PBZ1, PR 1 a and Cht 1 participate in APR(adult plant resistance)to rice bacterial blight, their expression were analyzed using RT-PCR. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were also measured. Results indicated that PAL was induced by pathogen and wounding in adult plants while it only induced by pathogen at the seedlings, and the expression of PAL was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression of LOX was induced by pathogen both in seedlings and adult plants and it was stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. Expression PBZ1 was induced by both pathogen and wounding in both seedlings and adult plants and it is earlier and stronger in adult plants than that in seedlings. No expected fragments were obtained for PR 1 a and Cht 1. Enzymatic activities of PAL and LOX were consistent with their mRNA accumulations, respectively. It is probable that activation of PAL,LOX, and PBZ1 play crucial roles in APR to rice bacterial blight.
