The possible protection of cultured human cells from acute dioxin injury by antioxidants was investigated. The most potent dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), caused vacuolization of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus in cultured human conjunctival epithelial cells and cervical cancer cells. Subsequent nuclear damage included a deep irregular indentation resulting in cell death. A dosage of 30–40 ng/mL TCDD induced maximal intracellular production of H2O2 at 30 minutes and led to severe cell death (0–31% survival) at two hours. A dose of 1.7 mM alpha-tocopherol or 1 mM L-dehydroascorbic acid significantly protected human cells against acute TCDD injuries (78–97% survivals), but vitamin C did not provide this protection. These results indicate that accidental exposure to fatal doses of TCDD causes cytoplasmic free radical production within the smooth endoplasmic reticular systems, resulting in severe cytotoxicity, and that vitamin E and dehydroascorbic acid can protect against TCDD-induced cell damage.

Methionine Residue

SUMMARY The presence of a single methionine in porcine parathyroid hormone, at position 8, permitted assessment of the role of this residue separate from the second methionine residue found at position 18 of bovine and human parathyroid hormones. Oxidation of the solitary methionine of porcine parathyroid hormone to the sulphoxide destroyed biological activity, but this was restored by subsequent reduction with cysteine. Oxidation of the hormone did not, however, affect its immunological activity; therefore, oxidation of the hormone may bring about dissociation of biological and immunological activity.
