Abstract

Lithocholic acid (LCA) is known to kill glioma cells while sparing normal neuronal cells. However, the anti-glioma mechanism of LCA is unclear at present. Although malondialdehyde (MDA) is not specific to detect tumors, biologically active α,β-unsaturated aldehydes can be used to detect the outcome of gliomas, especially the mitochondria, as a research tool. The purpose of this research was to determine the optimum conditions for a lipid peroxidation model, according to changes in the aldehydes formed from the reaction between 2-thiobarbituric acid and biologically active α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. Experimental methods and procedures were successfully established for a model of lipid peroxidation induced by H2O2 in glioma mitochondria for glioma treatment and optimum conditions for LCA treatment were determined. The optimal conditions for the model were a glioma mitochondrial concentration of 1.5 mg/ml, H2O2 concentration of 0.3 mg/ml, duration of action of 30 min, and addition of 4.0 ml of 46 mM thiobarbituric acid. The effect of LCA, as determined by changes in the UV peaks at 450, 495, and 532 nm, was optimal at a concentration of 100 µM, a duration of action of 15 min, and in an acidic microenvironment. The study concluded that a suitable concentration of LCA has anti-glioma effects as determined by the effect on changes in the UV peaks at 450, 495 and 532 nm and the mitochondrial model developed should be conducive to further in-depth research.
