Abstract: Newborn rat brain astrocytes, cultured in a serum‐free medium, were exposed for 30 min to two types of reactive oxygen species. Cells were either treated with the xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XOD) system, which generates both H2O2 and the O2βradical, or to H2O2 alone. Both treatments induced a dose‐dependent accumulation of nerve growth factor (NGF) transcripts, 6 h after the exposure. Maximal effect was obtained with 6 mU/ml XOD, or 10–4M H2O2. A rapid expression of protooncogenes of the jun and fos families was also noticed in X/XOD‐or H2O2‐treated cells. This phenomenon was transient in cells exposed to X/XOD. However, in the case of H2O2‐treated cells, the accumulation of c‐fos or c‐jun mRNAs was still pronounced 6 h after the end of the treatment and the levels of cell‐secreted NGF appeared relatively reduced, when compared with those obtained after a shock with the X/XOD system. This raised the possibility that H2O2 at 10–4M could depress protein synthesis. Measurements of the incorporation of radiolabeled amino acids into trichloroacetic acid‐precipitable material supported this assumption. Level of radioactivity associated with cellular material was dramatically reduced in H2O2‐treated cells, when it was compared with control or XI XOD‐trreated cells. Furthermore, treatment of cells with the protein synthesis inhibitor anisomycin had an effect similar to that of H2O2 because it caused an accumulation of c‐fos, c‐jun, and NGF transcripts after 6 h of treatment. It is concluded that the effect of H2O2 results from an impairment of protein synthesis, which is accompanied by the “superinduction” of c‐fos, c‐jun, or NGF genes. To understand better the effect of X/XOD, the reaction was conducted in the presence of a large excess of catalase, which removes H2O2. The presence of catalase reduced the amplitude of the response of the NGF gene to the X/XOD treatment. Conversely, low doses of H2O2 and X/ XOD were more efficient for the production of NGF than each treatment alone. These results suggest that both O2β and H2O2 are important metabolites in the process of activation of the NGF gene, possibly via the formation of the OH* radical or other reactive products, which could constitute active regulatory molecules.
