- Description
- Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II or Hunter Syndrome) is a lysosomal disease caused by deficient degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate due to the deficiency of the enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase. The main treatment for MPS II is the administration of the recombinant form of the enzyme, in a process known as enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Oxidative damage can contribute to the pathophysiology of MPS II and treatment with ERT can reduce the effects of oxidative stress. For a better understanding of pathophysiology of MPS II, we evaluated biomarkers of mitochondrial dysfunction, DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) damage, antioxidant defenses, reactive species production and lysosomal size in IDS-deficient HEK 293 cells and investigate the in vitro effect of genistein and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) on these biomarkers. An increase in the production of reactive species was demonstrated, as well as an increase in the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Also, an increase in lysosomal volume and oxidative damage to DNA were verified. There was no evidence of a change in mitochondrial function in this cell model. In the HEK 293 (human embryonic kidney 293) knockout (KO) HP10 cell model we found that genistein at concentrations of 25 and 50 μm decreased in vitro the production of reactive species and the activity of the SOD enzyme, showing an antioxidant protective effect. Still, in these cells we verified that the coenzyme Q10 in the concentrations of 5 and 10 μm decreased in vitro the activity of the SOD enzyme and in the concentration of 10 μm decreased in vitro the DNA damage, also demonstrating antioxidant protection. In conclusion, MPS II knockout cells demonstrated oxidative stress and DNA damage and genistein, as well as coenzyme Q10, have been shown to have an important protective effect in vitro against these oxidative damages.
