Abstract

Background: High altitude can cause hypobaric hypoxia (HH), resulted from the lower barometric pressure and hence partial pressure of oxygen. Hypoxia can lead to a lot of deleterious molecular and cellular changes, such as generation of free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS). Increasing of ROS can cause oxidative stress if the antioxidant enzyme does not increase simultaneously. Oxidative damage in brain has toxic effect on cognitive functions. Objective: In this study, we investigate effect of acute intermittent HH on oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme activity in rat brain. Method: Wistar rats divided into 5 groups, consisting control group and four experimental groups which treated to HH. Rats were exposed to simulated HH equivalent to 35.000 feet in hypobaric chamber for 1 minute, repeated once a week. Results: Level of malondialdehyde and carbonyl in rat brain under acute HH increased at HH exposure (group I) compare to control group. These levels decreased afterward at intermittent HH exposure (group II-IV). Specific activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) shows increasing level at intermittent HH exposure, especially group IV was increasing of SOD level significantly. The increasing pattern of specific activity of catalase was inversely from SOD pattern, but it still has higher activity in intermittent HH compare to control group. Conclusion: Brain tissue seems to be able to perform an adequate adaptive response to hypobaric hypoxia after the training, shown by its significantly decreased MDA and carbonyl level and also increased specific activity of SOD and catalase.

Abstract

Background: The kidneys in physiological conditions are always in a state of relative hypoxia. Cytoglobin (Cygb) is the newest globin protein found of the globin family. One of the functions of Cygb is in oxygen supply. Cygb expression is found to increase in hypoxic conditions, which are thought to be an adaptation response to hypoxia. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the expression of Cygb in rat kidneys which were exposed to chronic systemic hypoxia. Methods: Twenty five male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 150-200 g were used in this experiment. Rats were divided into 5 groups: The control group was exposed to normoxia; the hypoxia groups (10% oxygen / 90% nitrogen) for 1 day; 3 days; 7 days and 14 days. After treatment, rats were sacrificed and their kidneys were taken. Cygb mRNA expression was measured by qRT-PCR, while Cygb protein expression was measured by the ELISA method. Results: The expressions of Cygb mRNA and protein were found to be highest on day 3 of hypoxia and was correlated very strongly and significantly (r2 = 0.96; p <0.05). Conclusion: The highest expression of Cygb on day 3 of chronic systemic hypoxia exposure is suggested as an attempt to restore oxygen supply to the kidneys.
