OBJECTIVE There have been few reports on the effects of free oxygen radicals on ciliary mobility of nasal respiratory epithelial cells. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of free radicals and antioxidants on human nasal epithelial cells (HNECs) using video-computerized analysis. METHODS Human nasal epithelial cells were obtained from the nasal cavity of normal volunteers. Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) was calculated as the mean value of ten randomly selected cells. The proportion of the area with normal CBF (above 8 Hz) was calculated from 10 randomly selected sites per specimen. Free radicals were produced by xanthine-xanthine oxidase enzymatic system. The generation of free radicals was confirmed by chemoilluminometer. CBF and the proportion of the area with normal CBF were measured at every 5 min for 30 min after the addition of enzyme. For the evaluation of the antioxidant effects on free radical-mediated ciliary slowing in HNECs, cells were incubated in superoxide dismutase solution (300 unit/ml) for 30 min and 3-aminobenzamide (5 mM). RESULTS Superoxide produced by 0.4 mM xanthine and 400 miliunit/ml xanthine oxidase decreased CBF (7.71 +/- 1.91 Hz). A total of 2 min later, ciliary slowing was evident (3.87 +/- 1.10 Hz). Regarding the changes in proportion of epithelial area that showed normal CBF experimental group showed a significant decrease in percentage of epithelial area with normal CBF over time. Superoxide dismutase prevented ciliary slowing (8.76 +/- 0.99 Hz). Moreover, 3-aminobenzamide, an inhibitor of the DNA repair enzyme poly-ADP ribose polymerase, prevented inhibition of CBF (8.32 +/- 0.61 Hz). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that oxygen-mediated damage to DNA may be the mechanism of the deterioration effects of oxygen radicals on the ciliated respiratory nasal epithelium.

D002925 Ciliary Motility Disorders Conditions caused by abnormal CILIA movement in the body, usually causing KARTAGENER SYNDROME, chronic respiratory disorders, chronic SINUSITIS, and chronic OTITIS. Abnormal ciliary beating is likely due to defects in any of the 200 plus ciliary proteins, such as missing motor enzyme DYNEIN arms.

D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
