Extract

Redox dysregulation is known as pathogenesis of renal involvement in autoimmune lupus mice [1,2]. However, the behavior of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is still unclear [3]. The purpose of this study is to make clear the localization of hydrogen perhydroxide which is generated as intermediate substances of radical reactions.

Modified Brigg's method [4] was used to determine the generation of ROS in renal tissues of (NZB x NZW)F1 mice. The renal specimens were incubated with a standard medium, which consisted of 0. IM tris-malate buffer (pH7.4) with 7% sucrose, lmM CeCl3 and lOmM aminotriazole at 37° C for 30 min and ultrathin sections were prepared and examined by electron microscopy. Lecithinized-recombinant-superoxide dismutase (SOD) was used as redox regulator, which is ROS inhibitor. SOD (1000 U/kg) was injected 3 times a week, tail-intravenously to Fl mice from 4 to 60 weeks of age. The mRNA of inflammatory cytokines and IkB was detected by RT-PCR method.
