    Abstract:

    Abstract: We previously found that carbamate pesticides induced significant apoptosis in human natural killer cells. To investigate whether carbamate pesticides also induce apoptosis in human T lymphocytes, in the present study Jurkat human T cells were treated in vitro with thiram, maneb, carbaryl or Ziram. Apoptosis was determined by FITC-Annexin-V/PI staining. To explore the mechanism of apoptosis, intracellular levels of active caspase 3 and mitochondrial cytochrome-c release were determined by flow cytometry. We found that thiram, Ziram, maneb and carbaryl also induced apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner in the human T cells. However, the strength of the apoptosis-inducing effect differed among the pesticides, with the: thiram> Ziram> maneb> carbaryl. Moreover, thiram significantly increased the intracellular level of active caspase 3 and caspase inhibitors significantly inhibited apoptosis. Thiram also significantly caused mitochondrial cytochrome-c release. These findings indicate that carbamate pesticides can induce apoptosis in human T cells, and the apoptosis is mediated by the activation of caspases and the release of mitochondrial cytochrome-c

  • carbamate pesticide induced apoptosis and necrosis in human natural killer cells
    Journal of Biological Regulators and Homeostatic Agents, 2014
    Co-Authors: Maiko Kobayashi, Tomoyuki Kawada
    Abstract:

    Abstract We previously found that Ziram, a carbamate fungicide, significantly induced apoptosis and necrosis in human NK-92MI, a natural killer cell line. To investigate whether other carbamate pesticides also induce apoptosis and necrosis in human natural killer cell, we conducted further experiments with NK-92CI, a human natural killer cell line using a more sensitive assay. NK-92CI cells were treated with Ziram, thiram, maneb or carbaryl at 0.031-40 microM for 2-24 h in the present study. Apoptosis and necrosis were determined by FITC-Annexin-V/PI staining. To explore the mechanism of apoptosis, intracellular levels of active caspases 3 and mitochondrial cytochrome-c release were determined by flow cytometry. We found that Ziram and thiram also induced apoptosis and necrosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner; however, maneb and carbaryl induced apoptosis and necrosis only at higher doses in NK-92CI cells. The strength of the apoptosis-inducing effect differed among the pesticides, and the order was as follows: thiram > Ziram greater than maneb greater than carbaryl. NK-92CI was more sensitive to Ziram than NK-92MI. Moreover, Ziram and thiram significantly increased the intracellular level of active caspase 3 in NK-92CI and caspase inhibitor significantly inhibited the apoptosis. Ziram and thiram significantly caused mitochondrial cytochrome-c release in NK-92CI. These findings indicate that carbamate pesticides can induce apoptosis in natural killer cells, and the apoptosis is mediated by both the caspase-cascade and mitochondrial cytochrome-c pathways.

    International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Maiko Kobayashi, Tomoyuki Kawada
    Abstract:

    We previously found that Ziram, a dithiocarbamate fungicide, significantly inhibited natural killer (NK) activity in a dose-dependent manner. To explore the mechanism of this inhibition, we investigated Ziram-induced apoptosis in human NK cells. Human NK-92MI cells were treated with Ziram at 0.0625-4 µM for 2-64 h. Apoptosis was determined by FITC-Annexin-V/PI staining. To explore the mechanism of apoptosis, intracellular levels of active caspases 3, 3/7, 8, and 9 and pan-caspase and mitochondrial cytochrome-c release were determined by flow cytometry. Disruption to mitochondrial transmembrane potential was determined with a MitoLight? Apoptosis Detection Kit. It was found that Ziram induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner in human NK cells. Ziram increased the intracellular levels of active caspases 3, 3/7, 8, and 9 and pan-caspase in a dose-dependent manner, and a caspase-3 inhibitor, Z-DEVD-FMK, and a general caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK, partially but significantly inhibited the apoptosis. Ziram also disrupted mitochondrial transmembrane potential and caused mitochondrial cytochrome-c release in a dose-dependent manner. These findings indicate that Ziram can induce apoptosis in human NK cells, and the apoptosis is at least mediated by both the caspase-cascade and the mitochondria/cytochrome-c pathways.

    Co-Authors: Maiko Kobayashi, Tomoyuki Kawada
    Abstract:

    Ziram as a dithiocarbamate fungicide is widely used throughout the world in agriculture. We previously found that Ziram significantly inhibited cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity in a dose-dependent manner. To explore the mechanism of this inhibition, we investigated Ziram-induced apoptosis in human T lymphocytes. Jurkat T cells were treated with Ziram at 0.031–1 μM for 2–24 h. Freshly isolated primary human T cells were treated with Ziram at 0.0625–1 μM for 15 and 24 h. Apoptosis was determined by FITC-Annexin V/PI staining and the TUNEL assay. To explore the mechanism of apoptosis, intracellular levels of active caspases 3, 3/7, 8, and 9 and pan-caspase and mitochondrial cytochrome-c release were determined by flow cytometry. Disruption to mitochondrial transmembrane potential was determined with a MitoLight™ Apoptosis Detection Kit. We found that Ziram induced apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner in both Jurkat cells and primary human T cells. The primary human T cells were more sensitive to Ziram than the Jurkat cell line. Ziram induced increases in active caspases 3, 3/7, 8, and 9 and pan-caspase in a dose-dependent manner, and a caspase-3 inhibitor, Z-DEVD-FMK, partially but significantly inhibited the apoptosis. Moreover, a general caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK, significantly and almost completely blocked the apoptosis. Ziram also disrupted mitochondrial transmembrane potential and caused mitochondrial cytochrome-c release. These findings indicate that Ziram can induce apoptosis in human T cells, and the apoptosis is mediated by both the caspase-cascade and the mitochondria/cytochrome-c pathways.

  • Development of new adsorbent chitin for column preconcentration and spectrophotometric trace determination of Ziram and Zineb in synthetic, commercial samples and food-stuffs.
    Talanta, 2005
    Co-Authors: S. K. Mehta, Ashok Kumar Malik, Baldev Singh, A. L. J. Rao
    Abstract:

    A procedure has been developed for the determination of zinc(II) bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate) (Ziram) or zinc(II) ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (Zineb) present in a large volume of aqueous solution after preconcentration on a column using chitin-1-(2'pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) as adsorbent. Ziram/Zineb are quantitatively retained on the column as Zn-PAN complex in the pH range 9.0-11.0 and at a flow rate of 1-8 ml/min. Complex adsorbed on chitin was eluted from the column with dimethylformamide (DMF) and absorbance of the eluate was measured at 550 nm against a reagent blank. Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range 5.3-55.8 microg of Ziram and 6.8-49.0 microg of Zineb in 25 ml of the final DMF solution. Ten replicate determinations on a sample solution containing 45.22 microg of Ziram or 40.86 microg of Zineb gave a mean absorbance of 0.30 with a relative standard deviation 1.6 and 1.8%, respectively. The interference of various ions has been studied. Many alkali metals and metal salts do not interfere. The method has been employed to the determination of Ziram and Zineb in commercial samples and in various foodstuffs and the results were compared with the earlier reported methods.
