In vitro redox properties of the green tea component epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and its effect on pea plant cells were investigated. EGCG was found to exhibit both pro- and antioxidant properties. In solutions, EGCG was oxidized by oxygen at physiological (slightly alkaline) pH values with the generation of O2 -• and H2O2, the reaction being slowed down by a decrease in the medium pH. On the other hand, EGCG functioned as an electron donor for peroxidase, resulting in the H2O2 utilization. EGCG suppressed respiration, reduced mitochondrial transmembrane potential difference and inhibited electron transfer in the photosynthetic electron transport chain in pea leaf cells (leaf cuttings and epidermis). Among components of the photosynthetic redox chain, Photosystem II was the least sensitive to the EGCG action. In the epidermis, EGCG reduced the rate of reactive oxygen species formation that was induced by NADH. EGCG at the concentrations from 10 μM to 1 mM suppressed the KCN-induced death of guard cells in the epidermis, which was determined from the destruction of cell nuclei. EGCG at a concentration of 10 mM disrupted the barrier function of the guard cell plasma membrane, increasing its permeability to propidium iodide. |
