Аctuality:
The most dangerous part of oxidative stress is the formation of reactive
oxygen species (ROS), which include free radicals and peroxides. The level of reactive
oxygen species, which exceeds the protective capabilities of the cell, causes serious
cellular disorders and, as a result, cell destruction. Under conditions of the active
interaction of cells with O2, which makes aerobic life possible, an enzyme defense system
against its toxic effects is formed with the participation of superoxide dismutase (SOD),
catalase, and peroxidase as necessary components.
Purpose:
To analyze the structure and activity, the role of enzymes of the protective
mechanisms of the cell.
Discussion:
Catalase is widely distributed in tissues (especially a lot of it in the liver).
Catalase is one of the main enzymes for the destruction of reactive oxygen species.
Catalase is the primary primary antioxidant in the defense system, which catalyzes the
decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water, sharing this function with glutathione
peroxidase. Both enzymes detoxify the active oxygen radical, catalyzing the formation of
hydrogen peroxide from superoxide. In addition to differences in their substrate specificity,
these two enzymes differ in affinity for the substrate. At low hydrogen peroxide, organic
peroxides are predominantly catalyzed by peroxidase.
However, at high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, catalases work. The level of
activity varies not only in different tissues, but also inside the cell itself. Liver, kidney, and
red blood cells contain high levels of superoxide dismutase. In hepatocytes, the expected
high level of activity is observed in peroxisomes, although superoxide dismutase is also
active in microsomes and in the cytosol. Superoxide dismutase is a cytocuprein, a protein
consisting of 2 subunits, each of which contains one atom of zinc, copper and cobalt.
Superoxide dismutase is one of the most common population genetic markers;
mutations in the superoxide dismutase gene cause some hereditary human diseases
(atherosclerosis, amyotrophic lateral syndrome), which is used for diagnostic purposes. A
decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase and an increase in the activity of catalase
in type 2 diabetes mellitus were revealed, which indicates the occurrence of an imbalance
in the anotioxidant system.
Superoxide dismutase preparations are used as anti
-
inflammatory drugs, e.g. with
arthritis. In the literature, much attention is paid to studying changes in the activity of
erythrocyte superoxide dismutase during the aging process of organisms and in some
diseases, such as hemolytic anemia, ischemia, and a number of neurological diseases.
Superoxide radicals play an essential role in the development of inflammatory processes.
The result of these studies was the use of superoxide dismutase as an anti
-
inflammatory
agent (orgotein, peroxinorm). Orgotein is used in the clinic for the treatment of
inflammatory processes, osteoarthritis, bursitis, praktitov, cystitis. Successful treatment of
superoxide dismutase inflammatory processes allows us to consider this enzyme as an
alternative to corticosteroids. The activity of the enzyme component of the antioxidant
blood system undergoes phase changes: at the early stage of ischemia, activation of
57
superoxide dismutase and catalase occurs, followed by suppression of the activity of these
enzymes
in the late stages of the pathology.
