α-tocopherol ameliorates copper II oxide nanoparticles-induced cytotoxic, biochemical, apoptotic, and genotoxic damages in the rainbow trout gonad cells-2 (RTG-2) culture
We investigated the effects of alpha-tocopherol on oxidative stress-caused damage caused by copper II oxide nano-particles (CuO NPs) on Oncorhynchus mykiss gonadal cells (RTG-2) for 24 and 48 h. alpha-Tocopherol reversed the cell death and alterations in the expressions of genes such as sod1, gpx1a, gpx4b, and igf2 caused by CuO NPs; it also supported the expressions of cat, igf1, and gapdh genes caused by CuO NPs for 24 h and promoted alterations in the expressions of the sod2, gh1, and igf1 genes for 48 h. Additionally, alpha-tocopherol reversed the caspase 3/7 activity increased by CuO NPs for 24 h and supported it's decrease for 48 h. alpha-Tocopherol supported the increase in tail DNA (%) affected by CuO NPs for 24 h and reversed it for 48 h. Therefore, alpha-tocopherol may have the potential to protect against cellular alterations induced by CuO NPs in a time-dependent manner.
